Is the Russian identity assigned? Russian identity began in northern Russia in Novgorod and Ladoga, and then spread to Kiev.
The word Rus (Ruotsi) is Finno-Ugric. This word Finno Ugric called 2 countries-Russia and Sweden. Moscow, or rather the territory of the Moskva River, was settled by Slavic tribes of the Vyatichi. Vyatichi (the ancestors of the Russians) and Drevlyans (the ancestors of the Ukrainians) simultaneously began to call themselves Russian people, around the 10th century. Nevertheless, the Krivichi (the ancestors of the Russians) and the Slovenes from Novgorod (the ancestors of the Russians) and the Chuds (the Finno-Ugrians, also the ancestors of the Russians) were the first to call themselves Russians in the 8th-9th centuries. This is recorded in the ancient chronicles, which Ukrainian false historians are trying to distort all the time.
The rest of you are right. But you idealize everything too much. The struggle for territory and resources has been and always will be. Every nation is locked in its own states and the interests of its state almost always coincide with the interests of the people. In any case, in foreign policy.
