lol, at least Elizaveta's father, Peter the Great oficially proclaimed foundation of the Russian Empire
I know of course that Ukraine is the center of the Universe, but it is not Ukraine which makes Russia an Empire or a superpower.
Regardless of the fact that Tom declined from elaborating own view on it..
There is no information that in the 18th century the territory of Moscow's possessions extended beyond the city of Moscow and the vassal hetmanate in Ukraine. after the partitions of Poland, they annexed another part of Western Ukraine, and that's all. What Peter said is not important, anyone can say it.
