@zerguskotus @ChelseaR19580 @VileChud That’s not unique to the lands of Rus. It’s a simple matter that the Rurikovichi branches in modern Ukraine/Belarus died out or lost influence to the Polish and Lithuanian dynasties. There is no competition unless you consider the Gediminids equal successors

@michaelofhitch @ChelseaR19580 @VileChud They tried to claim as a whole rsther than one of many. The name russia and the self given title of rulers of all rus

Never ask these niggas what Ruthenia means

@zerguskotus @ChelseaR19580 @VileChud I would never argue they are the sole claimants, as it is more than just political, but it is ridiculous to argue that their claim to the legacy is “stolen”.

@zerguskotus @ChelseaR19580 @VileChud They don’t, but they did maintain their “relative” independence and overthrew the Tatar Yoke. One of the absolute goals of the Russian state was the reclamation of the lands of Rus («объединение Руси»).

@zerguskotus @ChelseaR19580 @VileChud How? Why would the Vladimir branch of the Rurikovichi have any less claim to Rus/Russia than those subjugated under Poland and Lithuania?

@ChelseaR19580 @VileChud As retarded ukrainians might be they'll agree that russia is a stolen term

@cabbage_content @adelehaenelfan Is Russian culture from the indigenous peoples or from the “evil asiatic mongol horde”?

@adelehaenelfan gee. i wonder why?? is it because russian "culture" is just the "culture" of the indigenous people that russia genocided? is it because russia was murdering ukrainian writers? ukrainian people? and erasing Ukrainian history? use you brain, tootsie roll

@explosivo412 @FreddyInSpace What does it matter if some zoomers found his costume and voice funny? How does that distract from the experience of the film itself?

@FreddyInSpace Sir, I ask you truthfully, how are you not aware of the memes surrounding his appearance? Like, are you fucking with me?

A Robert Eggers werewolf transformation sequence has serious potential to be an all-timer.

Total Jeb! Victory

@PickledWolverin I’m talking about the debbie downers and control freaks and spoilsports

@michaelofhitch The fun people is what makes life worth living

Would society cease to exist without the fun police?

@91Mari30 @Mogwai_47 @Poslanetsss Yes, there emerged a uniquely zapadnorusskiy language as a result of Lithuanian authority for 500 years. I don’t see your point

Westerners go out of their way to label everything Ukrainian as russian and then throw a piss fit when you correct them

Be the npc they want you to be

@Myrddin1o1 @yaqobhyndes Real shit

@yaqobhyndes the only reason i play victoria 2 is to watch the culture map mode change man wtf are you on about

I think it's interesting how people talk about "borders" in grand strategy games, because often that's the only place anything ever happens. Once you conquer a big empire you might look over your pacified core regions and its just dead. Nothing happens there

@ReignMorbid @Alex_Oloyede2 Gogolev literally holds dual Russian and Canadian citizenship. I don’t know what to tell you man

@michaelofhitch @Alex_Oloyede2 In what universe is "grandparents immigrated from Ukraine" in 1945 "lived in Russia in his youth". He's Canadian. Born and raised.

Four Russians in the top 7, amazing.

@ReignMorbid @Alex_Oloyede2 Seems very odd in your assessment for a Ukrainian to hold Russian citizenship and have lived in Russia for most of their youth

@michaelofhitch @Alex_Oloyede2 Buddy. No. Ukraine is not Russia. Russia is not Ukraine. They are entirely different places, people and cultures. His grandparents were born before Russia joined the Nazis and left as soon as the soldiery allowed. There is more Russia in a bottle of Grey Goose then his blood

@ReignMorbid @Alex_Oloyede2 It’s only false if you’re equating to nationality, but the post is clearly referencing 4 *ethnic Russians. He might be Canadian, but he is of Russian descent and his parents are ethnic Russians, irregardless if they may have been born in Ukraine SSR

@michaelofhitch @Alex_Oloyede2 Well the issue is the claim that "Russians in the top 8". Which is categorically false. Like Eileen Gu. Calling her Chinese is just factually inaccurate. She's American 99.99% of the time. 0.01% is Chinese while the cheque clears.

@ReignMorbid @Alex_Oloyede2 That’s not the issue at hand. I’m sure you do tremendous research though

@michaelofhitch @Alex_Oloyede2 Ukraine isn't Russia. Never had been. Given recent event, unlikely to ever be.

@ReignMorbid @Alex_Oloyede2 I don’t know how to break this to you

@Alex_Oloyede2 Yes, Stephen. The grandson of Ukrainian immigrants post WW2. Has a 'v' ending his family name. Must be Russian. God you're dumb

I miss when there were actual people on here

@skyepiril @fleur_inverse And they were 100% correct

@fleur_inverse 90% of Russian literature is about how much they hate St Petersburg

In a private letter from the mid 1790s, Jan Potocki says that Peter the Great made a mistake by making Petersburg the capital of Russia; he thought Kazan would have been a better choice.
