@xanyxxxx @vixvis @alexpj19 @econormal and the word "Viy" looks very stupid next to the title "Russian Horror"... The word "viy" does not even exist in Russian language, it's a Ukrainian word... and @TheVixvis please explain to me how does the word Ukraine LITERALLY mean Russian region? I've actually been doing a lot of reading and never have I seen a literal definition of Ukraine meaning "Russian region."

@shevadabest11

It's not true. "Kyivan Rus" - don't exists. This state were called "Rus' or Russian land " with capital in Kiev. The name "Kievan Rus'" ( Kievskaya Rus’) was coined in the 19th century in Russian historiography. This name was coined, dude. It was coined for periodization of historical periods.

@xanyxxxx @vixvis @alexpj19 @econormal ... next whoever said, kyiv is second to moscov... while kyiv had 400 churches in the city, moscow was nothing more then a little village. now for the name "Russia". We all know history i hope and know about "Kyivan Rus" Until Peter the Great, there was no such thing as Russia, it was Rus-Ukraine was part of Rus, and before Peter the land "Russia" was called Muscovy. Peter renamed Muscovy into Russia to give it the effect of being the motherland

@shevadabest11 Muscovites, Muscovy - not russian words. Russians never called self so. This term was used in Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. There was political causes. Hellenised term Rusia was used from 15 century in official russian documents. And citizens of Moskow and other regions not controlled by Poland and Lithuania called self - russians. It's fact.

[lepra01]

@shevadabest11 Official title of Peter the Great before 1721 was "Tsar and Grand Duke of the entire Rus" after 1721 "Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias." "All the Russias" means Great, the Little, and the White Russia. You need read more, not only Grushevsky or ukrain-canadian "historians".

[lepra01]

It's simple thing. Gogol - great russian writer who was born in Russian Empire. He has written Viy and all his literary work in Russian. Russians make this movie and native language of movie is russian. Hence this movie is Russian movie.

"he'd probably be killed"

LOL, bullshit!

[shevadabest11]

@lepra01 ohhh so Kyivan Rus' was a name for a time period? Like we say Medieval Europe? Wow thats my first time hearing that, I would have to talk to my history prof about that, its actually a good topic for my upcoming essay thanks :) and yes I totally agree with you on the part that history is extremely biased depending on who writes it. It's just the way that we were raised I think plays a huge role in how we interpret our history. Were you born and raised in Russia?

[shevadabest11]

@xanyxxxx @vixvis @alexpj19 @econormal ... i am always open to more civilized and educated discussion, and would love to hear your educated side of the story, however if you will again choose to use vulgar ignorance then please do us all a favour and dont even reply.

[shevadabest11]

@xanyxxxx @vixvis @alexpj19 @econormal ... that effect obviously worked as we can see by the comments today. I am not saying that I (as a Ukrainian) am in any way better then a Russian, all I'm saying is that I am different I have my culture, my nation, my pride, my language and in no way am I a "little" brother to you. Yes we are brothers but not "little". and thank you econormal for at least not using vulgar language, if you can show proof that hohol called himself "Russian" then I will agree

[shevadabest11]

@xanyxxxx @vixvis @alexpj19 @econormal ... Gogol was born in the Ukrainian Cossack village of Sorochyntsi,[4] in Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire, present-day Ukraine. His father Vasily Gogol-Yanovsky, a descendant of Ukrainian Cossacks. Gogol developed a passion for Ukrainian history and tried to obtain an appointment to the history department at Kiev University. Russian critics Stepan Shevyrev and Vissarion Belinsky, reclassified Gogol from a Ukrainian to a Russian writer
