@Kenneygeorge @toomas_ilves The very fact that every time we read about "#russians" (in the press or on social media) we have to internally translate it into "all people with russian citizenship, including #Tatars, #Udmurts, #Buryats, #Chechens, #Khakass - you name it" - his very fact is a confirmation of the fact that the English-language narrative of #russia is completely shaped by the russian imperial mythos. The one they hoped to make self-prophetic, but that doesn't have to be!
