"Russian World" in 2014: from the "love" of Patriarch Cyril to Putin's aggression

Abstract

Contemporary Russia gathers its "original Russian lands" under the guise of the "Russian world", dragging historically the "Ancient Rus", that is, all the former Russian lands, including first and foremost the Kiev Rus, without which the whole idea of some kind of "Ancient Rus" simply nothing not worth it We do not accidentally use the word "some" because history does not know the state under such a name.
