Ukraine=Rus - a lesson in geography not learned

Where did the Ukrainians come from?

   There are many sources to prove that Ukraine is part of primordial Rus', which managed to preserve its cultural heritage. We preferred photocopies of paper maps created before 1917 and modern genetic templates tables placed in the last chapter. Below are icons of the titles of the photocopies of the maps that we use (click to open).

First of all, the maps will help to justify the title of this section “Ukraine=Rus - a lesson in geography not learned“.
   A high quality photocopy of paper maps where the texture of the paper is visible is a document. It is very difficult to prove the veracity of geographical maps created using a graphic editor on a computer.
   Professor Klesov was not allowed to create a map of the genetic patterns of the Russian Federation, so as not to cause discord (though it might stun everyone). This is not a big problem, because there is no belief that it would not have been “tweaked”. The map of genetic templates created by the enemy to kill a specific ethnic group with biological weapons is not distorted by political speculation and must be accurate.
   A map of primordial Rus' before its expansion by the Rurikovich dynasty indicates the eastern borders near the Ryazan Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate and the Kazan Khanate. Everything else was not Russia. Therefore, we will call this primordial Rus', so as not to get lost in terms. The lands of ancestral Rus' did not experience mass migration and their ethnic composition has changed little to this day. Now this land is divided in half by languages (dialects), national clothing and divided by the state border. Despite this, the genetic template of these halves is the same. Residents of Kyiv and Voronezh are people of the same genetic group, one and the same people. Where did the difference between them come from?

Part of Kyiv Rus (Ukraine) captured by the Moscow kingdom
or East of primordial Rus'

   To answer the question posed, it is not enough to examine only the eastern part of primordial Rus'. We need to look at the ways of expansion of Rus' by the Rurikovich dynasty in order to see the mutual influence with the cultures of the annexed peoples. Unfortunately, such maps are lost (most likely destroyed), and the maps of the Romanov dynasty reign are already a period of assimilation. Such maps show the remnants of the annexed ethnic groups. To see the dynamics of “Russification” over 50 years, let’s compare the following two maps from 1857 and 1907. (All ethnic groups are provided with modern names and translated into English. Click on the map to see the original.). Name of towns Kursk, Voronezh and Belgorod are translated to remind they were Ukrainian lingual.

The first map (1857) still shows the ethnic remains of the Ryazan Khanate, which bordered Rus. On another map (1907) the remnants of the Ryazan Khanate are no longer there. The number of ethnic fragments of the annexed peoples and their size are decreasing.
What can these fragments tell us when we take a closer look at them on the next map?

The territory of the annexed people is torn into pieces, which shrink and disappear over time. This is how Rus' becomes Russia. Where else can you see something like this? The following set of 4 maps shows the 4 steps of the occupation of Palestine from 1946 to 2010.

This is only a geometric comparison. The peoples annexed to Rus' were not expelled from their lands. During the time of John the 4th (warlike), who began to build a real empire, these peoples did not lose their culture. Over time, especially with the Romanov dynasty coming to power, the creation of an empire turned into the creation of a kaganate and the “russification” of the annexed peoples began. With small ethnics everything went easily, but the Mordovians, the Finno-Ugric tribes that are the largest ethnic group of the annexed peoples, turned out to be too big to “swallow” them. In central Russia, this is the most numerous people*, whose culture and language have begun to influence each other.
   The influence of cultures is especially noticeable near the border. People in such areas often speak “crossbred“ , a mixture of two languages. In such a zone is the city of Moscow, whose name comes from the river of the same name*. In the original Mordovian pronunciation, the name of the river sounds like “mascow“ (Moscow), although the Slavic alphabet does not provide the exact sound for such a pronunciation. And there is nothing unusual in all this if the city of Moscow had not become the new capital. Now the Mordovian-Russian dialect, a mixture of two languages is beginning to become the state official language. The pressure of the state machine pushes it to the west, replacing the local dialects of primordial Rus'.
   The newly formed cultural-ethnic mixture will be called the Romanov dynasty as Great Russia. The Romanovs, who could not call themselves natural Russians, came up with this to assign themselves an ethnicity away from their German roots.
   During the monarchy, the Mordovian-Russian dialect (today named russian language) almost reached Kuban, even becoming the language of ordinary people. In Kuban, it became the state language under Soviet rule only in 1934, replacing Ukrainian.

Where do Ukrainians live?
or West of primordial Rus'

   The best map of the Russian Empire, which shows the division of Rus' in half, is the 1907 map with the boundaries of the Jewish settlement*. During the hetmanate (Ukraine elected king rule), the Rusyns (Ukrainians) on these lands not only managed to preserve the folk culture of primordial Rus', but also remained independent for a long time. Together with the Rusyns (as other Slavs called all Russians), Litvins* (Belarusians) and the majority of Jews, Romanians, Hungarians, Poles and other peoples live within these borders who are difficult to assimilate (they have a connection with their ethnic homeland, which has the statehood and the cultural standard of this ethnic group). All this together accompanies the preservation of the ethnic cultures of these lands, now are Ukraine and Belarus.
   Crimea, conquered from Turkey, was populated by Rusyns from the mainland, the western part of Rus', and became part of the Pale of Settlement. This is confirmed by the first Stalin's census, where more than 60% of Crimeans called themselves Ukrainians. This is a significant majority since the remainder were Tatars, Jews, East Russians and Greeks. Despite this, Crimea was included* in the Soviet Russian Federation.

   Despite the resistance, the advance of the Mordovian-Russian dialect continues. Large cities in the east of western Rus' (Ukraine) are almost completely losing their native language. Villages preserve their cultural heritage, but the lack of basic and highest education in their native language reduces its value. At the end of the Russian Empire, the Baltic peoples were classified as Slavs, as can be seen on the ethnic map of 1907. This fragment is highlighted here:

If the pseudo-empire had not collapsed, then the future map could have included the Balts (Lithuanians - Latvians) among the Russians. We can assume this by looking at the color explanation on the last picture (map zoom). Could we imagine how easily empire can convert baltic (Lithuanians - Latvians) people into Slavs? Later, these peoples will make a great contribution to the collapse of the USSR with the main and greatest driving force behind the collapse of the Soviet Union* being Great Russian chauvinism.

NOTES:    In fact, the decrees about the “Pale of Settlement of Jews” did not apply to Jews who converted to Christianity. In essence, this was the Pale of Settlement of Jews by faith and not ethnicity, to prevent religious clashes, and to designate the territory where Jewish refugees could receive benefits.
   The decision to transfer Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR is economic and not political, despite the myths. Crimea is continentally connected to Ukraine. Its supply of gas, electricity, water and other resources through the surplus budget of the Ukrainian region from the republican budget of the Ukrainian SSR, received from the budget of the Russian Federation, is a poorly controlled chain (a godsend for embezzlers).
   Litvins were the name given to the Slavs who lived on the lands of modern Belarus. During the unrest, supported by Catholics and settlers from Baltic states, part of the lands were torn away. Now this is Lithuania. The capital city with the original name Vilna renamed to Vilnius, but the first constitution written in the Old Belarusian language was preserved in the town hall of this city. The Slavic surnames Litvin, Litvinenko, Litovchenko, Litvinyuk still remind us of those times.
   The statements of Mordovian nationalists that their people are the most numerous in central Russia were met with ridicule until the first genetic statistics proved this.
   The name of the rivers indicates to us the ethnic group that gave them their name. Most of the names of Slavic rivers are associated with the word “bottom” (“дно“ rus.), which in ancient times had more meanings associated with water, including “channel”. The rivers Don, Donets, Dnieper, Danube, Dniester and similar ones have Slavic “names”, with the exception of the Volga. The Volga was renamed by the Khazars from Ra. The Moscow, Moika and similar rivers have Finno-Ugric names (Mordovian etc.).

Conclusions
   When we take a modern map and look at it from east to west of Moscow, we can even now observe how geographical names change from Finno-Ugric to Slavic. This applies to names that were not changed by the Russian Empire, the USSR, or the current government of the Russian Federation. Most of them are the names of rivers.
   The cities of Kursk, Voronezh and Belgorod are clearly visible on the maps given in this section. Kursk, this city is known all over the world for the turning point battle in the Second World War (Kursk Bulge). The city of Belgorod was the first capital of Soviet Ukraine (later Kharkov and Kyiv). Belgorod once belonged to the Kursk region, and then moved to the Voronezh region.
   All of these regions were classified by the Soviet authorities as part of Russia, despite the Ukrainian-speaking population. Thus, in Belgorod, almost half of the newspapers were published in Ukrainian. In the villages, the vast majority of people did not speak Russian at all. In 1930, the publication of Ukrainian-language newspapers was banned. The authorities were afraid of accusations of unfair borders between Ukraine and Russia.
   Kuban, which was also classified as Russia, had Ukrainian as its state language until 1934. The same fears prompted the authorities to oust the Ukrainian language in the Kuban. This land was inhabited by Ukrainian Cossacks, not such submissive people as in other regions, so it took 4 years to “convince“ them.
   Therefore, the geography of the ethnos and the displacement of its language, including the origin of the name Ukraine, justifies the title of this section “Ukraine=Rus - a lesson in geography not learned“. According to the given geographical maps, Ukraine is the western part of the divided Rus', and the eastern part of Rus' is the same ethnic group that has undergone significant cultural and linguistic changes. This ethnic group inhabits the lands of the Finno-Ugric and Turkic tribes in the east. If the heir to the culture of Kyivan Rus is not Ukraine but another ethnic group, then where are its traces in reliable historical documents?
