Original Note:
Russia is not Rus or vice versa. Muscovy Russia formally took control of parts of Rus in the 17th C and has since appropriated a Rus legacy to which it arguably has no claim without the area of present-day Ukraine (which is broadly coterminous with historical Kievan Rus) https://origins.osu.edu/read/kyiv-rus-ukraine-russia?language_content_entity=en https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseih/2020/07/01/there-is-no-ukraine-fact-checking-the-kremlins-version-of-ukrainian-history/
