Tatar is actully uncertain in denoting a specific ethnicity. The areas inhabited by what was called Tartary/Tartaria in English and suchlike in other Western European languages are ethnic Turks.

The interchanging of Mongol & Tatar stems from at the time of Genghis Khans expansion, the Mongols were relatively obscure while their western rivals - the Tatars - were much more renowned.

Russia also had no human rights / freedoms / liberties / fundamental rights. USA had rule of law, fundamental rights, democracy, and an entrepreneurial economy. Russia had NONE of that.

I have mixed views on Tsarist Russia, but it was definitely better than the Soviet period. I recall listening to a Teaching Company series called, “History of Russia: From Peter the Great to Gorbachev.” Lecture 22 is entitled, “The Modern City and its Discontents.” Hearing the degeneracy from that time period, circa 1900 is reminiscent of the present-day U.S. Dr. Steinberg quotes from the press clippings, looking at the crime, death, disease, and hooliganism of the era. Furthermore, there are descriptions of dramatic suicides where people just threw themselves in front of trains. I think that it can be found on Pirate Bay. It’s worth a listen.

But the Russian leaders know the Jews are literate, productive, useful and so try to instigate tolerance BUT and this is a big but they also know any time they want they can and do stop protecting the feared alien minority and that's when the pogroms start. It's more or less that plus the urbane mercantile culture versus the wilde and free possibly illiterate rural culture. Similar issues confront mercantile nomads/exile nations such as parsees, Armenians and overseas Chinese you just never confront them since they are distant cultures. Man is man's worst enemy.

Not only is it designed to sell you a new phone every year or two (instead of every 4 or 5 years), but they know that when users get a new phone, they are more likely to spend even more time using it than they did the precious model.

All existing biological and genetic studies have rendered obsolete or pseudoscientific all hypotheses on the interbreeding of ethnic Russians with non-European ethnic groups. Among the Russians of the North, there is a Baltic contribution which is greater than the Finno-Ugric contribution which for the latter is lower than previously thought. The Russians were formed from East Slavic tribes, and their cultural ancestry is based in Kievan Rus'. Genetically, the majority of Russians are very similar to their East Slavic counterparts, unlike Northern Russians, who belong to the Northern European Baltic gene pool. The Russian word for the Russians is derived from the people of Rus' and the territory of Rus'. The Russians share many historical and cultural traits with other European peoples, and especially with other East Slavic ethnic groups, specifically Belarusians and UkrainiansThe Russian people in Russian русские/russky namely Eastern slaves of Orthodox culture or religion, pagan Slavic 'rodnovers'; not to be confused with a Russian pоссиянин / rassinine which designates both a Russian and a person of another nationality or ethnic group native to the Russian Federation such as a Tatar, Komi, Mordvian, Chechen etc... these other peoples live in their own autonomous republics with their local languages, customs, constitutions. The Russians live mainly in Russian countries, namely the very large major part of Western Russia, heir to the Rus' of Kiev and also a good part of Siberia, the Russian Far East and even, for example, the Krai of Altai which is almost entirely Russian (not to be confused with the Republic of Altai which is populated by the Altai people who are a Turkic people) with landscapes that evoke Austria, a good part of the Urals.All existing biological and genetic studies have rendered obsolete or pseudoscientific all hypotheses on the interbreeding of Russians ethnic with non-European ethnic groups. Among the Russians of the North, there is a Baltic contribution which is greater than the Finno-Ugric contribution which for the latter is lower than previously thought.Ethnicity is nationality in Russia and is distinct from citizenship which is rather civic. On the Russian passport, it is written Citizenship: Russian Federation and not Russian because being Russian is determined at birth, namely those who are born of Russian parents, therefore slabes. To return to the ethnic level, according to the works of Viktor Valerianvitch Bounak published by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR or those of Mikhail Vladimirovitch such as, Anthropological data as a source on the history of the colonization of the Russian North published in Moscow by the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1997 and in many other scientific works of course; the Russian people actually appears to be relatively “homogeneous” and at least fully European in the sense of worship as well as ethnicity and genetics. The Russian populations do not differ from the native western European populations at the level of the phenotype, or anthropology in any case. In reality, within populations of the Russian ethnic group or so-called ethnic Russians, there is an almost zero or even extremely low frequency of genetic characteristics of Mongoloid populations. The frequencies of East Eurasian markers in Russians correspond to average markers in the rest of Europe.Moreover, a study of autosomal markers also approximates northern Russians (i.e. the area from present-day Saint Petersburg to Velikiy Ustyug) to other European peoples and casts doubt on the Finno-Ugric migration stratum within Russian genetic fund of this region. These data make it possible to put forward the hypothesis of the conservation in these territories of the Paleo-European substrate of the protohistory of antiquity which subsequently experienced the intense migrations of the Slavic tribes.This was confirmed during the genogeographic expeditions of the Medical-Genetic Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences between 2000 and 2008, more than 10,000 DNA samples were collected and analyzed from people of Russian nationality and all are genetically fully European.MALYARCHUK, B., DERENK, M., GRZYBOVSKY, T., Differentiation of Mitochondrial DNA and Y Chromosomes in Russian Populations, Detroit, 2004, vol 76 p. 877-890 During the Mongol rule, the Russians lived in the grasslands and wooded regions, while the Mongols themselves lived hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away in the steppes to the south of present-day Volgograd, in Tartary, which would later become part of Tatarstan and also the region corresponding to Kazakhstan, but not within Russian territory. The capital of the Golden Horde, Sarai or Sarai Batu, founded in 1240, was located in the present-day Astrakhan Oblast.The Mongols did not live among the Russians but rather kept to themselves and lived at a considerable distance. When the Mongols came to Russian territory, it was usually the Khan and his court for tribute purposes, or there were tax collectors. There was little intermingling, except perhaps in Tartary. The majority of present-day Tatars have a European appearance, often with light hair and light eyes. Furthermore, Russia played a crucial role in saving the rest of Europe from the Mongols, especially the victory of the Russian principality troops under the command of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy in the Battle of Kulikovo on September 8, 1380. Just as the French have Charles Martel, Russia has Dmitry I.Many testimonies support this, including that of Archdeacon Paul of Aleppo, who visited Russia and specifically Muscovy between 1654 and 1656. He left detailed descriptions of Russia, noting that in every man's house, there were ten children or more with white hair on their heads, and for their great fairness, they were called old men. He also mentioned that the women in the land of the Muscovites were beautiful in appearance, and their children resembled those of the Franks but with rosier complexions. During the time of Herodotus in antiquity, the European world sometimes extended as far as the Ural Mountains, or even to the gates of Altai, as the entirety of the Scythians (an Indo-European people) was often integrated into the European world. In the 15th century, Western European geographers established the boundary of Europe beyond Nizhny Novgorod, in the present-day Kërzhenskiy Nature Reserve. To the east was Tartary, although some Volga Tatars were Scythians (i.e., culturally Turkicized Europoids). The current geographic division between Europe and Asia in Russia was established 300 years ago in the Ural Mountains, and at that time, it made sense according to the geographer who drew the border, namely Vassili Tatitchev, who reasoned from an ethno-civilizational perspective. This delineation was first confirmed by the Swedish military officer of German origin, Philipp Johann von Strahlenberg. So, from a geographical standpoint, considering the geography of Peter the Great's era, Russia lies between two continents, although this was genuinely the case 300 years ago. Now, when you travel to Irkutsk or Novosibirsk, you find yourself in Europe in terms of population, mentality, architecture in Irkutsk, and so forth. In my opinion, if we consider the logic of Greek geographers like Herodotus or 18th-century geographers, today we should speak of Europe from the Atlantic to Vladivostok.

Russia: Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, it did! Supplementary, Russian expansion was pretty heavily defined by 'othering' religiously. Rather than in America, where it was race (whites vs reds), Russia mostly utilized the Orthodox Church and used heavy pagan/satanic language when referring to unconverted Tatars. This ties in nicely to your emphasis on Russian religiousness, because it's sort of like American race obsession: It's baked into their national myth, top to bottom, and thus a core issue in politics and culture.

The Assyrians would be a contender for top spot since their whole strategy was to be so cruel and barbaric to the defeated that it would psychologically effect any other potential opponents from trying to go against them. Yet, the Mongols did practice this as well so the only difference is the Mongols came in the scene much later and went much further with their conquest than the Assyrians.

Since 1889, the same elite in Brazil has simply not had any project for the nation, unlike yours, which has a well-defined ideological direction. Ours supported the slave owners, then they changed to the economic elite, then the coup in the 1930s, the military in 1964, and during the regime tô today they still support the communists of the Workers' Party, because there was no way they could not support the Granxist process that socialists carried out in universities, and these communists became part of the elite. It is a very strange case where the majority of the population hates the communists, but the university class (where the useful idiots of the party are trained) and the bureaucracy want socialism and do not respect the will of the taxpayer against him and impose it down our throats with the force of the state. As you said, it is a minority that rules everything (note: the federation here is only in name because the states have almost no autonomy for laws or governing, everything is centralized in the capital).

"It's not unimaginable that the US and Russia could have a war in the near future" That would be the most one sided mogging the US inflicted on anyone since Desert Storm.

Russians and Ukrainians don't even speak the same language or have the same alphabet nor did they all immigrate into one big country and then have Ukraine leave, less then a minute before you said its like the North/South of the US you pointed out Poland had Ukraine........so are Ukrainian's actually "little poles"

The reason why it's not called little Poland is because the Rus had a greater influence on Ukraine.

That's, overall, a knowledgeable, inciteful, nuanced assessment of Russian development and history. Its better than I expected here. Good job, Rudyard. One caveat set for clarity- the Tartar or Tatar group, same thing, is not one homogenous people but rather a transitional heterogenous mix and blend of various Turkic or Mongol peoples, though thought of as one, but aren't really all the same. I was penpal friends with a Tartar woman decades ago. Due to our differences in geographical origin, I tried hard to understand her social context. She was superficially attractive, but every bit as whimsical and flighty as any lower class Western female - drastic changes of her hair color, week to week, from natural darker color to jet black or then to bleach blonde appearance, was literate, but not sophisticated, rather poor, a Second World society - better than Third World but not much better, definitely not a very intellectual person. Due to the awful influence of communism, there among other things, the ex Soviet people, due to communisms persecution of religion and ethics, ended up with a fairly immoral character of its people there. That may be slightly changing, recently, but I doubt very much change. All sorts of cheating - in business, mocking infideity in personal relationships, of fraud, scams, violence, false witnessing in courts, post mail are commonly stolen by post workers, cars and even whole buildings (!) are stolen and other criminality, shockingly unethical horror stories are more common in Central Asia than in much of the world. Its a rough place with few positives. Many Tartars are Muslim, but generally not devout. The implication is that a person would be wrong to think of the region as a kind or romantic place. Don't think it's some wonderland. Its not. Another, a different, central Asian woman I also knew was well familiar with Tartars, and Tartar women, and said Tartar females are, in their personal relationships, known as being b-tchy, complaining, argumentative, and demanding towards their husbands and being rather low class, even underclass, compared to white Russians. Lets say, not an admired nor highly respected group. Thats the context. Whatever else is true, female nature, female bad, conniving behavior, is still female nature, there, as much as or more so, than everywhere else in the world.
