Ukraine pretends it's ancient, but there was no state or people called Ukraine in Rus'. Rus' was just Rus'.
In the chronicles, "Ukraina" is simply a word for a borderland. Even "Kievan Rus" is a label invented by 19th-century historians. Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians all come from the same Rus': one dynasty, one Church, one written language. And Rus' didn't even begin in Kiev. According to the Primary Chronicle, Rurik began ruling in Ladoga and Novgorod in 862, both in today's Russia. Kiev became the capital only in 882, when Prince Oleg took it and called it the "mother of Rus' cities."

WATCH: A historian explains why the form of servitude that existed in pre-colonial Africa was fundamentally different from the brutal chattel slavery imposed by European imperialists.
While indigenous African systems resembled indentured servitude, European chattel slavery stripped human beings of all dignity, reducing them to the status of livestock and disposable commodities. Furthermore, this capitalist system of chattel slavery was deliberately sustained through the influx of European firearms and the engineering of regional wars, all designed to facilitate the relentless extraction and plunder of the African continent.

I realized Blaze (Toy Story 5) is the first time Disney created a Black kid for theaters. Meanwhile, we’ve seen over a dozen other minorities.

Have you seen this
Let’s put ourselves on good movies and television series today
Especially the ones that are so exceptionally compelling, masterfully paced, emotionally immersive, and brilliantly crafted that from the very first frame or episode to the final credits you will find yourself completely and utterly unable to look away, fully absorbed in every carefully constructed twist, layered character arc, rising tension, moral dilemma, and breathtaking moment, with the storytelling gripping you so tightly and relentlessly that the mere thought of pausing, stopping, or looking at anything else feels almost impossible.
