Belarus is a Neo-Danubian Russia.

Let me short you an OP video,

It's not white Russia because it's white Rus and these are not the same thing.
Still most of the video was stealing history of Lithuania by claiming Belarus is real Lithuania and some old ass maps where Belarusian territory was named Lithuania and placing white Rus term totally somewhere else on these maps.

Because Belarus is NOT Russia. White Rus, Balta Rus or White Ruthenia, ancient territories of the Krivitches, Polotchans, Dregovitches, Drevlians, Doulebes. I would love to know what percentages I am of these tribes but they loved to burn their dead.

1)Belaya Rus - that used to be the name of Moscow Rus. This word meant "Free Russia". White is free, black is not free. The territory of Ukraine and Belarus belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the INCL. and were not ruled by the Old Russian Rurikovich family. Moscow Russia was white Russia, that is, the only free Russia. Then this name passed to the Belarusians.
2) You have written too many names of Belarusian tribes. For example, the Polochans are the same Krivichi, and the Dulebs are Dregovichi. Drevlyans are a Ukrainian tribe, not a Belarusian one. In fact, Belarusians have three Slavic tribes - Dregovichi, Krivichi and Radimichi. The last two tribes (Krivichi and Radimichi) are common with the Russians. Krivichi settled from Polotsk to Yaroslavl, radimichi are southeastern Belarusians and Bryansk Russians. Therefore, the Belarusian are really not Russia, but they are part of the Russian people. Belarusians are identical with Smolensk Krivichi even genetically.

Yes, Belarusians are mainly Krivichi, Radzimichi and Dregovichi. However, the area of Grand Duchy of Lithuania called “White Ruthenia” was populated by all the tribes I mentioned. And yes, Belarusians are Rus people. I am not disputing that part. Russians and Lithuanians are our closest genetic relatives.

In the proto-Slavic language, the four cardinal directions were associated with colors.
White — North, Red —West, Black — South, and Green — East.
Thus, Belarus = land of the Northern Rus.
