What do you mean collector? I don't want to collect anything.

-----------------------------
Collector of Russian land(s) (Russian: sobiratel russkoi zemli) is a historical concept and study of expansion policy of the Grand Duchy of Muscovy and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The term could be found in works of several historians such as Dmitry Ilovaysky ("History of Ruthenia: Muscovy-Lithuanian period or Collectors of Ruthenia (Rus)"),[1] Kazimierz Waliszewski ("First Romanovs",[2] "Ivan Grozny")[3] and many others. In the historical studies of Russia the concept justifies the liquidation of political (feudal) fragmentation in post Golden Horde period.[4]

But people of Donbass are not okay with it.I am okay with the Ukrainian borders which were recognized in 1991 (except of Crimea).
You want to return Donetsk and Lugansk into "Small Russia", don't you? Is it so different from Moscowits' goal to return Kiev, Odessa, Lvov and Warsaw into "Great Russia"?
"Ruthenia" is just a Latin prononsation of "Russia".'Ukraine' was a purely geographical name, which means 'near the edge'. It was much later it became used in political and national sense.
I don't consider this name too appropriate. Ruthenia would be more accurate.
