At about half way through this where he speaks to the Icon Collector, the collector mentioned how the identity of russia is always smeared into asia or western europe, as a Canadian I can completely relate, it so annoying when people smear our culture with the U.S. U__U

@KateriFire9 He seems to do that also with the Spanish documentary.

It was really funny to hear that Byzantium created the Cyrillic alphabet. We Bulgarians know that russians are ashamed that we teached them the alphabet. Cyrillic is Bulgarian invention. Full Stop. In fact Bulgarian was the only written language in Russia since 1700's when Peter came to power.
