Russia Ukraine war, page-230880

russian has bneen used in the region for a long time now and "Kievan" has stuck .....no-one has been bothered correcting it

that ancient precursor of Ukraine with the trident symbol was an important empire .....for centuries ......while russia was nothing .....eventually russia (Muscovy) became a Duchy and in the middle 1500's a kingdom new name russia and they started printing coins .....that ancient Ukraine had done 800 years previously .
Anyone trying to deny Ukraines much longer history than russia is pushing the proverbial uphill .....but you go foir it if you enjoy that kind of thing .
In the early days the Kyvian bishopric also included Moscow ....he was in charge of Moscows christians .

AS to the Khazars .....was like that in those days ....people taking over each other ...then getting chucked out
