The history of Russia begins with that of the Eastern Slavs and the Finno-Ugric peoples. The state of Garðaríki ("the realm of towns"), which was centered in Novgorod and included the entire areas inhabited by Ilmen Slavs, Veps and Votes, was established by the Varangian chieftain Rurik in 862 (the traditional beginning of Russian history).
I was in the USA and saw their disgusting healthcare and money hungry doctors, some of them equally terrible of ivan the terrible and experienced dreadful results of wrong treatments, plus paid money. I do not think stalin would scare soviet people even 1% as much, as American politics and healthcare would.
I lived in soviet union and never heard even 5%as bad about stali as in the USA. America lies a lot about USSR including Stalin, but when I heard in Soviet Union about Americas dreading health care, it was not lying.
This is a perfect example to understand the Russian people. Brutal and necessary evil. I think they suffer by themselves by that nature. God has given to us a burden which is hard to maintain.
1:44 - correct me if i´m wrong, but that picture is NOT set in 16th century russia.
hmmm...not a good start for a history programme!
