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.
Yes Viking tribes dominated the area, during the period I refer too. They have been found all over the region with settlements in the Balitics and Western Russia as far in as Siberia.
Wasn't it also St.Olga who united the Northern and Southern Slavs?
But her grandson Vladimir moved Christendom into Moscow centralising it.
Prior to the Mongols, the Tartars sacked Moscow.
The first Czars were the Ivans. After that the defeat of the Mongols, Russia quickly formed, and from other great Czars expanding influence and its borders. Etc.
We were talking about the Church, Christianity founding Russia.
I had thought there was something more, previously, but it has been a very long time since revisiting this topic. Something more?
Vikings never get further than Karelia region. It is more than 2000km from Siberia. Vikings even failed to create any presence in White Sea.
It was not because Russians defeated Vikings or whatever. Vikings was much more interested in North-Western regions, because of warmer climate due to Golfstream so even reached North America. Climate of Nothern Russia is more severe than Viking's original habitat, so there was just no any sense for them to expand to the North-East.
Russians trade with Vikings and of course fight with them seizing their ships and goods in Baltic region. So there is nothing strange that trophys could be found on the Russian territory. Just like presence of Russian artifacts in Sweden and Norway, or in East Germany does not mean ancient Russians controlled of seized that lands.
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.
