""The majority of Russians are proud of theft as their greatest national achievement," he writes, a feeling that is "the typical reaction of poor marginalized societies which don't have anything else to be proud of."" so they stole name Rus and history Kyvian-Rus and Ukraine-Rus (1721) , and invaded a lot of countries. Btw USA NEEDS a enemy in/for EUrope to sell their ONLY export goods: weapons and WAR. Thats why USA tried to save SU(Soviet Union) they will try to save RF (russian federation the offical name, since "russia" is no country) and gave in 1994 all nukes from Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan to RF, to make their enemy big again. It's another businessmodel sadly.
