How many will be 2 + 2 * 2?What?All those disputes about Crimea look strange for me...
Yes, Russia had agreement for their troops to be there but sent new units in order to cool down the situation. And they were successful. No one was killed while disorder and collisions like it happened in Kiev, Kharkov, Donetsk, Lugansk, Rovno, Lvov and many other cities of Ukraine those days.
After situation was under control, authorities of Crimea organized referendum and only after that Crimea became Russian according to people's will.
But USA is a side of the conflict in Ukraine so they got very upset about losing Crimea and initiated huge info war.
And now let's compare to American actions abroad.
Yugoslavia - no UN permission but there is American invasion.
Iraq - no UN permission but there is American invasion.
Lybia - no UN permission but there is American invasion.
Syria - no UN permission but there is American invasion.
And there are hundreds of such examples in 20th century.
And now let's compare to American actions abroad.
You left out....fought to free half of Europe from the Nazis 1941-45.
Fought to free the other half from the Commies 1945-91.
You trade to Hitler until 1943! Via Spain or directly!
Half Europe? Ok, name please number of German soldiers killed by Americans, quantity of tanks and planes burnt...
Then compare to those by USSR!
Fighting to Communism was a crime!
The only reason you did it - you were afraid that all people all over the world would wish that progressive way of living.Fighting to Communism was a crime!
LOL!
Are you still sad that Reagan won the Cold War and freed Europe from Russian oppression?
What oppression?What?All those disputes about Crimea look strange for me...

Check the economy of Czech, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia now and while "under oppression". They have no industry now, their economy is fully dependent from west Europe and USA. They have no freedom to choose their own policy now.
So they are under American oppression now!

He is smart guy and he knows history but he likes to twist it to the "right" side, by not mentioning or ignoring some factsHere is my "myth" based on ...
To be continued.
You can shove your myth into your ass and not go on.
Russian soldiers took over administrative buildings, Ukrainian bases, airports and so on in Crimea. It isnt denied on official level in Russia now. There has been Russian military assistance to the rebels in the Eastern Ukraine. It is denied officially but recognised even on Russian forums. Call that invasion or not, but only insane will deny Russian involvement.
Let's see. During last 4 years in post-coup Ukraine the national currency depreciated more than 3 times and utilities raised 10 times. A monthly payment which is considered to be good in my area is $200 per month (it's usually delayed for 4 months at least!) and utilities are from $50 to $100 (depends on the amounts of rooms you have and the season). Ukraine buys Russian gas from Europe bragging about it but it costs her citizens quite a bit of additional money (sounds completely idiotic and crooked to me). Retirements monthly payments are about $100 (basically are good to pay utilities, not to eat or dress). Medicine became un-affordable under Kiev junta, vast majority of average Ukrainian citizens can't afford even to buy high blood pressure medicine, not to mention something more major. With such medical policy Kiev junta doesn't even need any war to kill the people. But this is going very well with their genocide program.I dont think that the life standards dropped significantly. Yes, the price of utilitis has risen significantly, and other prices rose, but also rose wages. I can say for sure only about my family of course.
And add Greece too. EU killed all Greek agriculture and turned them into a divided and poor country. Once in a while I talk to a Greek woman, she is very sorry about the fate of her country within EU, but it's so difficult now to get out of the EU for Greece: they got in a trap.What oppression?What?All those disputes about Crimea look strange for me...

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a very liberal state. I mean that the Rus people had many freedoms at that time - they preserved their language, customs, religion, and so on. In this time there began to form so called Ruthenian language which was a predecessor of modern Ukrainian and Belorussian languages.Frankly not. The historical argue is pointless because everyone will stay with his own opinion. I will write my opinion and we will finish with that.You wish to get historical argue here?There were several tribes in the ancient Rus which formed contemporary Russians, Ukrainians and Belirussians. Also, in forming Russian people significant role played Finnish tribes, in forming Ukrainians significant role played people of the Steppe. Various parts of Rus had its own history of forming and develompent. The unity of Rus is virtually a myth.
Ok, be so kind to inform us when there is 1st mentioning of such nations like Ukrainians and Belorussians.
Tribes you mentioned were joined in 9-10 century by Knyazes of Rurik dynasty. Ukrainians and Belorussians appeared in 20th century.
But a kind of separation of Rus' was in 13-14th century while Mongols invasion as they divided Rus' in 2 parts. One part got free of them in Moscow, another - on the west and was called Malorussia (small russia) and it tended to join main Russian lands. As a result Russia rejoined and by 20th century we got Russian Empire which included Poland and Finland.
Those 2 regions were very different from the rest of Russia so they separated from Russia in 1917.
Here is my "myth" based on official historical data.
Now I'm interested to see yours
The ancient Rus state emerged in the 9 century with Rurik reigning in Novgorod. Then Oleg extended his rule, took over Kiev and made it his capital. This is considered the time when the history of Kievan Rus began. The state existed roughly 250 years, from the late 9th century till the Mongol invasion in 1240s.
There was so called Golden age of KR. Some think that this age lasts during the reigns of Vladimir the Great and Yaroslav the Wise, other think that the age was only during Yaroslav's rule and even not in full extention of his rule. Roughly 50 years. During the Golden age the KR enjoed prosperity due to stable political system based on the authority of the Great Duke, economical gains, cultural rise and so on. 50-60 years out of 250. Out of this period, there were constant battles between various principalities (so called mezhduusobizy) about which ruler will be the first among others. To the time of Mongol invasion, there were virtualy no single state. So, in addition to the ethnic differences (East Slavic tribes despite being related to each other had different dialects, customs etc.) the Kievan Rus was politically fragmentated.
The Mongol invasion only made things worse. After that Moscow kingdom rose in so called Nort-Eastern Rus, and the lands of so called South-Western Rus became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
To be continued.
Basically, all Soviet leaders (may be except for Gorbachev) were NOT Russians: Lenin seemed to be a Jew; Stalin (his real last name was Jougashvili) was a Georgian; Khrushchev and Brezhnev were from Ukraine but all the ignorant trolls here love to blame Russians for their actions.He never placed one nation above another. And he wasn't Russian.Stalin was a Nazi. Good to know
