> My comments try to explain why Ukrainians believe that Russians have stolen the "Rus" identity (from them) only for themselves.
Which is completely irrelevant to the thread. And, let’s be honest, is of little interest to anyone. This cultural appropriation bullshit has gotten old a long time ago already.
It is completely relevant to the thread about Russia stealing Ukrainian "Rus" identity. This is not some European Americans dressing up like Native Americans "this is a cultural Appropriation" bullshit. This is the real thing where a national entity denies existence of another nation and is in process to genocide this nation while pretending to be historically the same nation they are attempting to genocide. Of course there are other forces in play, but this in one of the main themes from the very beginning. Of course it is more comfortable to downplay this by calling it old and irrelevant than do something about it.
