The first map of Russia, resembling a small embryo, appeared in 1755 in the possession of the Prince of Orange (France), as evidenced in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
The fabricated ancient history of Russia does not stand up to scrutiny.
The first map of the Russian Empire from 1755, from the library of the Prince of Orange. The map shows that the territory of Russia was in its nascent state. Over the next hundred years, the Empire would seize the lands of other countries and peoples, colonizing and Russifying all the gigantic territories.

The "Encyclopædia Britannica" is a British-American general encyclopedia, the oldest English-language general encyclopedia.
It was founded by Scottish Enlightenment figures – engraver Andrew Bell (1726–1809) and bookseller and printer Colin Macfarquhar (1745–1793), the first edition was published in Edinburgh in 1768–1771 under the editorship of William Smellie (1740–1795). The creators of Britannica were contemporaries of Russia. Since 1901, Britannica has been published in the USA (with its central office in Chicago), and its main consultants are major American universities. The body of articles in the modern Britannica is created primarily by English-speaking authors from around the world.
The Russian language was created in Russia in the 18th century, like "Esperanto," for the Empire founded by Peter Romanov, with the aim of uniting the peoples enslaved by Muscovy and the young Russia into one nation. In this respect, Russia is similar to the USA, with one major difference: the USA has never tried to link its history to antiquity, as Russia has been doing for three centuries. The USA didn't even contemplate inventing the nationality "AMERICAN," as Russia invented "RUSSIAN."
"American" is a citizenship in the USA. No US citizen calls themselves an American by nationality, as that would be absurd.
But in the country of extreme absurdities, Russia, which has concentrated under its control gigantic territories of colonies that never had anything to do with this state, but which underwent total Russification, wherever you point, you'll find someone who is "RUSSIAN" by nationality, a nationality that doesn't exist, just like the American one.
Russian expansionism, terrorism, and obscurantism have entered a new fourth century. I am confident that only force can stop this state of absolute madness. A perfect example is the end of World War II, when the US took over external control of West Germany. The Americans methodically spent decades eradicating the traces of Nazism from the minds of the German people. As a result, Germany is now one of the most advanced powers. And the part of Europe that the USSR occupied rotted away and was forced to turn its face towards civilization.
The same must happen to Russia. This state machine must be destroyed completely, as a terrorist structure that sows evil, death, violence, Nazism, absolute stupidity and degradation around itself, preaches war and death as a religion, and destroys all social and humanitarian institutions. The Russian state machine must undergo its own Nuremberg tribunal and answer for all its crimes in history before humanity. Russia is obliged to repent for its inhumanity. Total lustration in all power and bureaucratic structures of Russia is an absolute necessity for the minimal recovery of the state. And, of course, all territories colonized by Russia will be liberated from Moscow, after which Muscovy may remain Russia if it so wishes.
The fuss with peace negotiations with Russia evokes nothing but disgust. The world needs to get rid of Putin's terrorist state.
