That is not historically accurate. Russia was essentially founded in 862 as a loose aggregation of tribes brought under unified rule with a Viking (Rurik) invited in to be the central figure.

You must be thinking of the distortions brought in when the Mongols invaded Russia in 1240 and massacred millions of people. But this has nothing to do with the "character" of the Christian people you so blithely insult.

Start from 2012 and go back 100 or so years to get an up to date perspective on what has been going on in Russian government. It should have been clear I was not speaking to/about a Russia going back to 862AD or even 1240AD. Also my comments had nothing to do with Christian character outside of your inference so I didn’t insult anyone that understands what has been transpiring in this Nation. And by the way both of my parents immigrated to this Nation from Russia. I have always been proud as to my Russian heritage and personal abilities but not so much of It’s gulag mentality under Lenin and the communists that followed.
