>>13778213Thought you're a baltshit, but clearly a cockhole gastarbeiter. Toilet cleaning doesn't pay well, so you have to shill in the past time, Mykola? And posting the most retarded lie imaginable too.
Russia is not the "idea came up in 1720". You really like to repeat this nonsense for some reason, when it's so stupid and so easily disproved. Only an absolute braindead and brainwashed cockhole would believe it. The only thing happened in 1720 is Peter the Great adopting the title of emperor.
Russia is simply a Latin word for Rus'. And "Rhosia" is Greek. Already found in written sources of fucking 9-10th century. And btw Rhos is the original name used by Varangians, not Rus'. Rus' is a Finnic and Slavic derivative. Finns still call Sweden "Ruotsi".
"Muscovy" is also a purely Latin term, never used in Russia. But even it was used interchangebly with Russia. After the consolidation of northern Rus' principalities with center in Moscow, the official name was Tsardom of Russia/Rossia. You do realize there are written sources left, no need to listen to some dumb propaganda. Just open and read it. And there's literature too. Notes of western travelers. And it all clearly states that common people called themselves Rusin, Rusak, Russkiy chelovek (Russian man) which later substantiated into simply Russkiy. This is similar to the name of Poland "Polska", which is also a substantive adjective "Polska ziemia" (Polish land).
The fucking Mongol Empire in the times of Tsardom. Are you drunk? It was long gone. Russia completely get off the yoke from the Golden Horde in 15th century. But I don't know why are you fixated on Mongols? They fucked you the hardest and you were under yoke too. Even raided Polandctogether with them, failed of course. And the only reason it ended sooner, because you got partitioned by Poland GDL.
Moscow doesn't have anything with Rurik? You must be just baiting at this point. The last Rurikid was a Tsar of Russia and Grand Prince of Moscow.
