So Ukrainians had access to their Patriots so they blow them, not Russians.
Also it is Ukrainians blow their own tanks, IFV and all that stuff. They have full access to them.
Factor!
You somehow assume that at the time there was some separate Ukriane. It wasn't. It was USSR, nobody give any fuck about that purely administrative division. Most builders and staff lived in Novaya Kakhovka - town around the dam.
Russia never attacked it. It was taken without single shot because locals was happy to return to Russia.
The only bridge Russia blow was Antonovsky bridge in Kherson. Antonovsky bridge is 60 km from the dam down the river. And that bridge was blown only because of decision to evacuate civilians and military exclusively because Ukraine tried a lot to destroy dam and flood the river to cut Russians from Eastern beach. Many was angry about that decision, but now it is obvious that this decision was right.
There is no any difference in defenciveness, because since evacuation from Kherson town, no single Ukrainian military survived in attempt to cross the river. There was no any real threat from right bank occupied by Ukrainians. They just can't cross the river.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
So only last three of your "factors" are factual.
Gains what? Do you understand that goals of Russia and Ukraine is different?
Ukraine goal is to kill as much Russian civilians as possible. They openly declared that goal since 2014 coup.
Russian goal is to destory Ukrianian military.
Obviously, flooding civilians does not help in killing military, but perfect to kill Russian civilians.
Please, tell me ISBN of that book. I want to have that example of complete ignorance and insanity.
There was no any fucking Ukraine before 1922. There was no such thing at all. There was no any Ukrainian language that was created from the satirical book of bored Russian aristocrat Kotlarevsky who mocked local dialect for lulz. You will not find any single sign of any statehood of that Russian region. Show me Ukrainian coin, f.e. older than 30 years.
Do you understand, that "ukraine/okraine" literally means "outskirts" in Russian? Russia had a lot of "ukraines", and none of them choose this slightly humiliating word as a regional name. Regional name of southern outskirts was Malorussia and Novorussia. Only in 1922 they was named Ukraine officially.
There was no single Roman close than the right bank of Dnestr river. It was country named Romania where some of Romans settled after Rome Empire fall. They never crossed Dnestr, because was not welcomed by Russians.
Part of Romania, Bessarabia, later under name of Modavia was included in Russian Empire only in 1812. This was the fist time in the history, when descendants of Romans could appear on Russian territory.
Older than what? Russian town of Slovensk (now Great Novgorod) was founded in 2049 BC. First Greek settlements on the Nortern beach of Black Sea appeared near 600-500 BC.
Georgia is on the Eastern side of Black Sea. Greek named it Kolkhida when discovered Black Sea in 600 BC. Georgia is completely another civilization. Georgian ancestors, Kartvels, come from Mesopotamia and settled in Georgia around 6000 BC.
Russian's ancestors settled in Eastern Europe at least since last ice age.
LOL. St.Petersburg was build by Peter the Great after his voyage over Western Europe as a copy of average West European town and named Sankt Petersburg, not Saint. You know, kids build small castlles and dollhouses for fun. If you are Peter the Great you build real megapolis for fun.
From Petersburg to Ural mountains, from White Sea to Black Sea, you will find mostly ancient Russian and Sanskrit-like (pre-ancient Russian was close to Sanskrit) toponimes as names of towns, rivers, lakes and all that stuff.
What the fuck is that crap. I didn't ask you to fill in the blanks.
Bullet points. They were explanatory. You can add bullet points, hence I stated there's probably more, and I did it quickly. I didn't need the freaking nonsense.
RUSSIA. UKRAINE.
Now add some factors of why, and how.
It was named after him. Tell me about his ties to the church? However we are talking all the way up the Baltics, western Russia. Chunks of Eastern Europe. Who was this holy roman emperor?
Yes the sanskrit is the planet's oldest language apart from some that is undeciphered because it has no known context. There are a few instances of this. Possibly even in Russia. As well as the Mediterranean, MesoAmerica, etc. Prior to that are glyphs and carvings of various descriptions.
But I filled them.
Did that multiple time. Could repeat again.
Ukraine goal: Kill as many Russian civilians as possible. Russia goal: Kill as many Ukrainian military as possible.
What's wrong with you?
Why that failed Roman Empire nobody care about here is so importnat for you? Why you add "holy" to "roman"? Heretics can't be holy for me, I don't understand.
Russian is closest to Sanskrit language from all live ones. It is not only have a lot of common words, but also have the similar grammar rules and structure which is even more important than common words. Those Hindus who studied Sanskrit could talk wiith Russians without knowing Russian if both will speak slowly. Some tell that Russian is like modern dialect of Sanskrit. Ancient Russian is even closer to Sanskrit. Many Russian toponymes was "decoded" thanks to Sanskrit. Interesting that Nothern Russia have more clear Sanskrit toponymes than southern.
I have no idea I am reading through it. But I am correct on the Church and the third Rome influencing and establishing Russia. Where we have St.Olga, and Christianity spreading to the Viking tribes who were the neolithic people in the Russian area. Her grandson Vladmir who spread it throughout Russia establishing Moscow as its center.
I thought it was somebody else higher up. In the dark ages. But St.Olga is there. She was Queen of Kiev converting to Christianity. Her grandson Vladmir really spread it establishing Moscow as what some would call the third Rome.
It was Greek missionaries from Constantiople converting St.Olga.
I had this confused thinking a Holy Roman Emperor had more influence from a seat in Prussia not Constantinople.
Of course it was Ivan I and Ivan the terrible who were the first Czars beating back the Mongols establishing Russia into the principality it became.
There was no Viking tribes in Russian area. Vikings lived North-West from Baltics Finnish bay and obviously had relations of different kinds with Russian tribes in neolithic times.
Exactly. That is how Russia get Orthodox Christianity - from Greeks, not from Romans.
Olga, mother of Svaytoslav who exterminated Khazarian Kaganate later, ruled in Kiev after her husband was killed by rival tribe. She was baptised in Konstantinopol in Orthodox Christianity, but didn't spread Orthodoxy over Russia, even her son Svyatoslav was pagan. Only her grandson Vladimir, Duke of Novgorod and Kiev made a decision to accept Orthodox Christianity as state religion to unite all Russian tribes under single faith.
Mongols failed to occupuy all Rusian lands. Novgorod and other Northern and North-Western towns was never under Mongol control. Russian state was established long before Mongols, defeating Mongols allowed to enhance Russian state to the South East, including Kazan Tatar state and other regions. Also, this defeat of Mongols provoked separation of some regions from Great Lituania and joining Russia. Defeat of mongols could be accounted as Russian state becoming an Empire, but definitely not as a beginning of Russian state.
Yawn there are far more factors than wahaaaa Ukraine sneaked on the dam and launched an undocumented strike. Where is the evidences? Where is the gain? Why objectively?
The factors are heavily skewed as Russian probability.
Turkic script?
Or Summerian, Hindu sanskrit?
Thank you for the history.
