    I think that the Slavic languages have gone very far in expressing the freedom of the speaker, plus a huge number of ways to convey double and triple meaning in speech.
    The truth is that you can speak Russian as you like - the old way, the new way, adhere to a strict word order or not - and you will still be understood and will not lose your reputation.
    This is freedom, unlike:
    1) languages with strict word order
    2) languages with 100 degrees of polite treatment to a higher person (too humiliating).
    3) languages trying to forcibly "clear" of borrowed words (for example, replacing the internationally understood word "tank" with "fire dragon".)

    Of course you haven't.
    My post wasn't serious.

    As you can see in English "THIS -> IS -> MY -> HOME" this is, (MY), home. Same goes in Bosnian "Ово је" мој "Дом"

    However in Russian they say Это. That term in South Slavic languages means only "THAT" so proper translation of Russian to Bosnian would be: "THAT MY HOME"

    That is very simple example, however WHOLE Russian language is a primitive form of South Slavic Languages with literal translations like: "I GO SCHOOL" "WE FIRE GUNS" etc..

    they are missing tons of adjectives, and other grammar functions that are available in South Slavic languages.

    In comparison their language is simplified South Slavic language ... it's dumbed down Slavic language something that happened to Romance languages as well by simplifying Latin language.

    This all points to the fact that South Slavic languages are either Older or were spread to non-Slavic lands from Balkans.
    What the heck? Russian language had some changes over time but far less than many others. For example this writing in Old-Russian is nearly 1000 years old and I can read everything besides numbers with only knowledge of common modern Russian.

    Proto-Slavic --> golva
    Russian --> golova
    South Slavic ---> glava

    So here the Russian is closer to proto-Slavic and according to that, South Slavic is primitive form of Russian. And according to your logic, South Slavs from that example came from Russia to Balkan.

    I would not be so sure that you could understand Old East Slavic language from Kievan Rus.
