Is there a difference anyways between Russian and Muscovite? After all, Muscovites imposed their culture forcefully all over Russia as much as they could.

Not all of Russia.

And I think it is a reminder to the people of Dagestan, Buratia, Altai, Bashkortorstan etc that they allow themselves to be taken advantage of and killed by a tribesman from the plains.

The reactionary spirit among the Western technical elites never ceases to amaze me, it shouldn't by this point, but it still does.

It still seems very moderate compared to the fascist imperialist spirit amongst the elite (and majority of the overall population) of that other country..

You may be right? It was written in anger.

It takes a lot to admit one's missteps! Appreciate the gesture, as an innocent byreader

This is precisely why I lost all respect for the West in the last couple of years and am now cheering on Putin's propaganda that is deepening divisions in your own societies. It's obvious you'd like nothing more than to carve up our country and destroy our culture — which the people of Siberia, Caucasus, and all other regions have significantly contributed to. But you know fuck all about that because your knowledge of Russia is based on news headlines.

Now I really hope he's successful, so this will come back at you.

You held respect previously and this is what caused you to lose it? Or you never held respect and use whatever to feed you?
