It seems, that you're an expert about Russian propaganda and about my reading preferences. Could you, please enlighten us about it? What is an aim of it? Are Kostomarov, Soloviev, Kluchevsky, Karamzin - Russian propagandists? Do you know who they are at all?I think Namba's been reading a bit too much official Russian propaganda
Do you consider yourself an educated European and me - dirty subhuman who can take knowledge from some primitive propaganda only just because I live in Russia?
If you cut this "propaganda" BS we can discuss this question. I'm fan of History, btw, so I know pro and contra of the theory I spoke about. It would be interesting to see if you do.(as evidenced by calling Kiev first "Russian" capital, when "Rus" back then had nothing to do with what's the core of Russia these days - i.e. Muscovy).
You may start with answering the question what was the territory of an ancient Russia or Kievan Rus, what language did they speak on this territory and what religion did they have.
Then we can proceed with Dukes' dynasties... right?
What you know exactly about the life of an average Russian? What do you mean by "atrocious"? What was the household income? What they could afford and what could not?That said I'm sure the life of average Russian peasant/worker was just as atrocious as the life of average peasant/worker in Ukraine or Belarus
