I remember writing a letter to my friend while he was in bootcamp, detailing the fucking battle of cannae to him lmao

It happened on my birthday so you can say I’m destined to revamp the Roman Empire 🤷🏼‍♂️

I support this notion

Gimme a few days

Another 1.5 thousand years we go!

Tfw born too early to see Rome 2.0 😒

What even is Russia

Hacker

I was always into studying the great Empires of sub Saharan Africa

I hardly know any Russian history asidefrom like. The October revolution, ww2, and like, some tsar who tried to model Russia after europe

I forget his name, didn't he like travel Europe in disguise to spy on their shiprites?

yeah him

Yeah Russia history is a little intimidating to me lol

So much

oh and the only other thing I know about Russia is

MONGOLS

I don't know how you can even begin to count all the different ethnic groups in Russia and their history. It's almost overwhelming

It is overwhelming actually

Isn't it just whites, and happas

lol

throw in Chechens maybe?

@Deleted User I always felt like there were a gazillion different groups in the south of Russia

/ Soviet Union

Cossacks?

It's really easy to see the Asiatic influence in some Russians

Hmm. That's interesting. Weren't the Cossacks well known as cavalrymen?

Do you have any recommendations on a more general Russian history book? I have a gift card to Barnes and Noble I need to use

@Doc34 Yes

Misha is still a monster

Soviet mystery meat. lmfao

Thanks

Okay. I really have no experience with Russian history aside from a few youtube videos so this will all be new to me

it's good, still listening to it

Where can I this lol. Is it on youtube

@Doc34 https://www.bitchute.com/video/qkNrd-fJWOc/

That's super cool. I remember I started getting into them after seeing a bunch of amazing photos of Cossack Cavalrymen in their full uniforms posing during a reunion or something

Can anyone plug me to the slav server

I think they were veterans of the Crimean War

It’s definitely one I’m interested in seeing as it’s left out of a lot of western history courses I’ve taken

That seems to be a pattern in a lot of Russian Military history

At least from what I’ve seen
