oh, i forgot how much money fur trade made
The claim that Russians didn't want to control shitskins is pretty moronic because a primary facet of Siberian colonization was exacting tribute from natives.
Sounds like communist Propaganda but ok
No, it's history that was established before the Bolsheviks even existed.
You just don't read.
No where near the extent of shitskinning the westerners did
No it's actually often compared to it.
Look at the Russian land mass. Also don’t forget Alaska was once part of Russia.
Russia did the same thing to natives that other Europeans did.
I've never seen it compared to western colonization.
Doing that to natives is natural, it's not immediately equal to muh colonization
If anything the existence of Russian fur traders is a myth. The Russians coerced natives into paying a fur tax rather than getting it for themselves. While natives died of disease and genocide settlers replaced them and started getting fur for themselves.
Why is it not colonization? Have you never heard of Vladivostok?
Does that city just not exist to you?
The Russians colonized Siberia.
Anon you have no fucking clue what you're talking about bud.
Just stop pressing enter.
Remove that key from your keyboard.
I mean they even tried to force convert natives. They did the exact same thing every European country did.
They're not any different.
Nvmd, I just googled what I was about to ask, message deleted
I'm curious about what your question was.
It was something about Novosiberisk
Even so, Slavic unity should exist to a degree
Strongly disagree. South Slavs have an extremely divergent culture from Russia.
Russia was created by vikings.
Poland existed independently with its own culture for centuries before being destroyed.
There's not a lot of unity that can exist.
Truth is Slavs are a barbaric race prone to internecine warfare.
Southern Slavs are infected by a bunch of fucked Muslims
The currt culture is unifiable
Current*
I really doubt it.
You have not only the Catholic-Orthodox divide, but the Balkans are in shambles and all of Eastern Europe hates Russia.
This is probably the worst time in history for any Pan-Slavism to take root.
Communist divisions
Which can be overcome
I didn't say we need it now
No, it existed before the Bolsheviks.
Poles have always hated Russia, Balts have always hated Russia (although they aren't Slavic), Balkan reception to Pan-Slavism has always been lukewarm at best.
