If Russia didn't exist European civilization would hardly survive.it would be a billion times safer if Russia didnt exist also
- in 12th century mongols were stopped by Rus' who resisted for 2 centuries and defeated them at last.
- in ww2 no one could stop Hitler but Russians did it and liberated Europe...Americans came by the moment of sharing the pie. Brits sat on their island all war long. French resisted for 2 weeks. Most of others preferred to obey Hitler.
I could also mention Napoleon as the most significant impact he got in 1812 after defeat in Russian campaign, but he wasn't an existential threat on my mind.
Looks like time is coming when Russia has to save the world once more...
