I've been working on a romance comics about a Kipchak warrior and a Kievan Rus princess, and it's as tacky as it sounds like

Two of my living history kits, or two versions of one kit, finally coming together. This is my high status kit focusing on Kievan Rus in the later 10th to early 11th century. The territory of Kievan Rus encompassed the areas of modern day Ukraine, Belarus and western Russia; and the society was culturally a mix of Slavic and eastern Scandinavian peoples with notable Byzantine influences on the upper social strata.

In the early 13th century, the Mongol hoards swept into Ukraine massacring all who got in their way. Kiev put up a fierce fight, but it ultimately fell, allowing the Mongols to sweep into central Europe.

Ukraine has started a petition:
Officially rename the name "Russia" to "Moscow". Replace the term "Russian" with "Moscow", "Russian Federation" with "Moscow Federation".
The English text from the site copy-pasted:
The historical name of Russia is Muscovy. The same applies to the state entities of the Moscow principality, the Moscow kingdom, and the empire. This name was used in European and some Asian languages. This name also appears on many historical maps of the 16th-19th centuries, which were produced in Europe before and after the renaming of the Muscovite Empire to the All-Russian Empire. On October 22, 1721, i.e. 301 years ago, the Moscow Tsar Peter I proclaimed the Moscow Kingdom the "Russian Empire".
"Russia" has existed for only 301 years
The name change gave grounds for further encroachment on the history of (Kyiv) Rus'. For foreigners, the names "Rus" (as Kievan Rus was marked on maps) and "Russia", "Russie", "Russland" (as Russia was marked) look almost identical, as if it is the name of one state that has undergone certain changes over time and under time of translations into different languages. This leads to confusion at the international level. Fiction books are being written, films are being shot where Russia is presented as Rus, which is unacceptable.
For 301 years, Ukrainians have suffered from the lies of the Russian version of our historical past. By calling Russia Russia, we legitimize its lies and confirm that we agree with its version of history.
In separation from Kyiv, the Russian cultural tradition loses its roots. That is why Russia is holding on to Ukraine and Kyiv so much.
Ukraine's inaction on the issue of the historical name of Russia is a tacit recognition of the enemy's dangerous claim that the Russian Federation is a direct descendant of our Kievan Rus.
Peter I stole the name of Russia, after him Catherine II rewrote history, correcting everything related to the Russian Empire to victories and gains, and everything related to Ukraine she diligently destroyed, and not only on paper. Now their tradition was continued by the dictator of the modern Russian Federation.
In fact, the name "Ukraine" (Ukraina) appears as early as 1680, that is, 41 years before the name "Russia" appeared, on the map of Ukraine by the French military engineer and cartographer Guillaume Levasseur de Beauplan (based on the general map of 1648 year). On this same map, the location of Moscovia is marked in the upper right corner - Moscovia Pars (Land of Muscovy). And this is not the only historical document, there are other maps, magazine and newspaper articles, notes of historians and travelers of that time. But the Russian leadership rejects these historical documents and purposefully repeats the statement, beneficial for the Kremlin, that Ukraine did not exist before the 20th century.
We have a responsibility to reclaim our identity and our history.
Millennium Rus is the state of the ancestors of the Ukrainian people, not the Russian people. It is tied to the history of Russia only by the directives of Peter I, Catherine II, Stalin, and historians who served for the benefit of the Kremlin. Russia illegally appropriated the name of the country. This historical error must be corrected at the official level. Russia distorts history by manipulating its name. Rus and Russia are similar in sound. And this gives grounds for such distortions, as well as for statements that "Ukraine never existed" and the like.
Why is it important to return the historical name of Muscovy right now?
The official change of the name of the state is a powerful information move at the international level. It will create a demand in the Russian Federation and other countries for the question: "What is Muscovy? Why did the Ukrainians rename Russia to Muscovy?" This will set off a wave of information seeking. Along with the search for "Moscow", the historical facts of the creation of the Russian and Ukrainian states will be revealed. Those facts that are either kept silent or distorted by Kremlin propaganda. This will lead to dispelling Kremlin myths about the historical past of the "great Russian people" for Russians and citizens of other countries, who considered Ukraine and Russia to be "one whole" before the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. This is an important step in the information war, which will help Ukraine win.

Nations aren't born like humans. They're born from a molded lump of Earth's clay, then are found and raised by either an older nation or one of their people. I headcanon Russia's mother was Kievan Rus, Saami's sister, and his father was ancient Siberia. Ukraine and Belarus are Russia's half-sisters because they're only related to Kievan Rus, not to ancient Siberia.

Mmm.... School slowly making me go mad challenge but also fury at my lack of sewing skills + fear of failure + fear of injury...
To be clear I'm just having a wardrobe wish moment and went through Etsy and Amazon a min ago looking for pieces. I wanna dress like a Kievan Rus or like an older era Rusyn but the stuff I'd want to wear is either $$$ or needs to be seen myself. ;-;
Or it's just unwearable here in Cali.
...then temptation to get a solid color strap dress and just pin on the brooches... Might also just get some easy bandanas for the Rus headresses and sew/pin the temple rings on there instead of adding the headband.
*sigh* reminds me I need to go buy new shoes...

Easter vacation tbr, as well as the book I need to make sure I’ve revised for my exams (and can read and analyse the Russian original text). Master and Margarita is a re-read but well worth it :) It’s got to be my favourite book.
