The Russians

The russian empire didn't last forever, and wasn't around since the beginning of time, But before that wasteland was proclaimed an empire, it was the home for some barbaric peoples.

The russians hated the mongols.

Napoleon and Hitler couldn't conquer russia for the same reason: Winter. Big bad winter.

Ivan 3 wanted to get the mongols out of russia, so they refused to pay the mongols tax.

Ivan the 4 was a terrible guy, hence the name, Ivan the terrible.

Vladmir Putin puts his enemies in jail... OH MY GOD SORRY PUTIN! DON'T PUT ME IN JAIL! I'M INNOCENT!

Russian wasn't byzantine, wasn't european, and wasn't mongol.

The mongols successfully captured russia, winter didn't stop them.

The mongols helped the russians by attacking the russian's enemies.

Bazel the cross-eyed was blinded.

The other Bazel was also blinded, but he was still a really, really, really great king.

Vladmir Putin is the current president of russia.

Vikings used to live in the place where the russians made their empire.

Russian Language is very hard to learn for me, which means that you russians are lucky.

The ruler of Kiev was called the Great Prince.

Russians were christians, and most of them were baptized.

Mongols weren't invincible, because the russians defeated them. REVENGE!

Bazel The Blind really expanded the russian empire.

Ivan The Terrible took the throne at the age of 16.

The russians used a lot of muskets.

After Ivan's wife died, everything went wacko.

Russians lived in Kiev.

Vladmir The First said that Drinking was the joy of the russians.

It probably was, since I see russians as people with nice bushy beards, drinking lots of ale. That seems awesome.

The mongols were a scourge sent from god to punish the russians, at least that was what they thought.

Ivan Kalita actually translates to Johnny Moneybags. LOL:P

Russian sounds more like slavic than swedish.

The mongols that conquered russia were called the golden horde.

The Muskivite princes were pretty much the leaders of russia.

Moscow is in european russia.

Moscow seemed like the hero of the russians when the people of moscow gave the mongols their first major defeat. The mongols would have said thanks, but they couldn't, because they were already dead.

Bazel blinded Bazel and then Bazel blinded Bazel back! Are you confused? Not really? Then keep reading friend.

Some of the russian emperors rigged their elections.

Ivan earned his nick The Terrible.

Ivan enjoyed killing animals when he was young.

By the way, that would be pretty fun if you were hunting.

People in black robes riding black horses were the secret police for the russians. They hunted down enemies of russia.

Putin is actually pretty awesome. He shoots tigers, Does karate, and rides jets. "It's lies all lies."

Kiev was not always thought to be founded by vikings.

Moscow is not always so cold.

Moscow is thought to be extremely cold, because winter in russia is horrible.

Sorry russians, but I don't know that feel, but I'm pretty sure how it feels.

Wear lots of fur coats russians! I love your language!

Lots of russian presidents rigged elections, even up to putin. OH GOD SORRY PUTIN! DON'T KILL ME I'M SO SORRY I'LL FIX THAT.

Lots of russian presidents rigged elections, until the wonderful brave Vladimir Putin put an end to it!

It's lies all lies.

Russians won World War 2, against the nazis, not because of the nazi's stupid decisions, but instead because of chance. Pure chance. Because winter was bad that day. That called for a winter-wrap up, but the ponies that were meant to do it were taking their day off. Looks like the animals are gonna be sleeping in.

Lol.

The settlers of Kiev were thought to be slavs, but there is an older theory that it was founded by vikings!

Slaves were traded by the Kievs.

The ruler of Kiev became the model for russian kings.

The russians became Byzantine Christians.

The Kiev fell when the Mongols attacked AND defeated them.

The mongols were very important to russia.

The mongols were allies with moscow.

The Muskavites were not greatful for the great things the mongols did for them, which was pretty weird.

Blinding people was common for the Bazels.

It's possible to rule russia like a boss even when you are blind, in Bazel The Blind's case.

I'm gonna blind you! Bazel said. Ow! I'm gonna blind you back! the other Bazel said.

The Slavs Traded slaves, and no, Slav isn't related to slaves.

Russia isn't always cold, but it is pictured as the coldest, snowiest, and iciest country in the world.
