@fulelo *Vladimir* Putin is named after #Ukrainian Grand Prince of #Kyiv , Vladimir the Great. 👉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir

One look at the central #Asian face ⬆️ of #VladimirPutin confirms the #history everyone outside of #Russia knows; that #Russia is the war-child of #KyivanRus and the #GoldenHorde.

...the country has been part of #European history.

The #Kiewan "#Rus' provided the earliest members of the #VarangianGuard. They were in the] Byzantine [Emperor's] service from as early as 874...until at least mid-14th century.**

After growing in influence and affluence as the #GoldenHorde's tax collectors, the #Muscovites became part of European history, too, after #DmitryDonskoy's first victory against them...

@ManyRoads @carolleisa actually, never knew how the #goldenhorde reached Europe. Interesting map.

"The #CrimeanTatars are the Turkic-speaking native people of #Crimea, absorbed by the #Mongol #GoldenHorde in the 13th century. They adopted #Islam and broke away as the powerful Crimean Khanate in the 15th century. After Russian annexation in 1783, the process of persecution and expulsion began under imperial rule, and it was continued under the #SovietUnion." #UkraineWar

That present-day #Ukraine is part of #Europe, historically and culturally, is an indisputable fact, though a slightly different case could be made about #Crimea* and its genesis regarding the #Mongolian #GoldenHorde* (see my other thread, though that came only shortly after the #Varangians.)
