You know Kievan Rus was a whole nation before the Muscovites stopped shitting in their hands right? Like it spanned the vast majority of Ukraine and half of Central and Northwestern Russia. You know how many countries existed before the Tsardom of russia even existed? The Grand Duchy of Moscow 1263-1547. Vladimir Suzdal 1157-1331 Splinter nation after collapse of Kievan Rus *still the same family.* Principality of Yaroslavl 1218-1463. Splinter nation, Still same family. This belief that russia "granted and gifted" land to the people who already had claim and ownership of land for centuries, that only became "russian territory" after Catherine the great slaughtered Ethnic Cossacks consuming Central ukraine and Sevastopol. Only to go on a viscous genocide against the cossacks, forcefully evicting them from their homes in the Black sea to be marched to Siberia. the Russian Empire is a failed state that only claim to land is through brutal genocide and war.
Uzhorod was not Chechoslovakian, it Hungarian ffs... Who the fuck drew this map?
