Narrowing of your topic ban
I would support a narrowing of your topic ban to exclude all non-political topics. However, as you well know, in the Soviet Union everything was political. The problem I see is that politically motivated editors will try to add a political spin to every sentence about the Soviet Union, or even "Putinist" Russia. In fact I just happened to start working on a humorous "guide" on how it is done (see User:Petri Krohn/How to write about the Soviet Union).
I already proposed that pre-revolutionary Russia be excluded, but I may have misunderstood the present wording.
For some problem editors in the Eastern Europe topic area a minimal topic ban would inlude "any content (edit, section or article) that describes or tries to describe Soviet rule in the Baltics or Eastern Europe as illegal or oppressive or communism as immoral or criminal." I cannot recommend that this be allied to you, as you seem to have a conflict with modern Russia.
Could you propose some similar wording for consideration, that would clearly and minimally outline the scope of your conflicts.
