️ "Russia" started life in 1721. Muscovy rebranded itself as "Russia." The idea of "Russia" was invented in the Kyiv Moyhyla Academy in the 1680s. When Macron says Russia will still be there after Ukraine’s victory, he's wrong. Space occupied by Muscovy will be there. Ruschia will be gone.
@decodingtrolls this is some weird sort of reverse-irredentism. It is by mere inertia that Russia has retained its name even though it doesn't territorially or culturally match the original Russian Empire. Putin may have ambitions to restore the Russian Empire, but I'm sure that is not a factor in Russia keeping its federal name after the collapse of the USSR (which it retained even as a part of the USSR).
To be clear I'm still pro-Ukraine, not only in this situation but also in the Makhnovist way.
