Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:

Rus' ought not to be confused with modern “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus' but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus'.

Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, “Russia” is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.

Its name “Russia" received only in the 18th century, when Peter I simply changed Muscovy’s name into the “All Russian Empire” (Russia originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even punished for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and were forced to call themselves Russian.

Lands that Russia (Muscovy) claims were part of the original Rus', but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus'. They can be considered parts of extended Rus', although their culture was distinct from main Rus'.

In 1493, Muscovite duke Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus'. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus' ownership.

“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and Russian (Muscovite) historians have been trying to say for years. A Slavicised Finnic, then later, Mongolized offshoot. Kyiv was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.


Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what Russia (Muscovy) did in regards to Rus'–Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!

What do you call a Russian tank brigade returning from Ukraine?
An infantry platoon.

Happy victory Day comrades. I see a lot of the comments seen to have no respect for the millions of Russian lives who fought in world war 2. Let me ask you a question how would you feel if your country lost 20 million people? No one can imagine losing that many people. Every Russian family today has someone affected by the Great Patriotic war. My grandpa was a Ukrainian who fought on both the Russian and Ukrainian front. A lot of westerners will not understand the pain the soviet people went through. Whenever or not you agree with Russia and it’s special military operation you must still respect the lives sacrificed over the the victory against Nazism and facism.

The exhibition of military hardware is unremarkable. I wonder where the other machinery is.

The use of a single T-34 from the Second World War diminishes the image of a modern Second Peace Army

Russia is forced to use its reserves, because, according to statistics before the military aggression, Russia had 3, 000 tanks, and the Russian army lost 2, 500 tanks on the battlefields, based on these statistics we understand why only one tank was shown at the parade in Moscow

[valeryferry]

This omission of weaponry in the parade raises concerns about the sustainability of Russia's military efforts in the Ukrainian conflict

[orvalprosacco]

This doesn't look like a "second world army" parade.

Putin is so funny. He says the West is creating Russiaphobia. He doesn't realize it is his own military and mercenaries that are instilling that negative impression, so far as the Ukrainians are concerned.

I believe this drone attack just about as much that weve ever been to the moon
