Oh, wow. Baited someone that argues about where Rus culture was born 1000 years ago and its relevance to modern events.

Couldn't have asked for a better example of chauvinism.

    What does any of this have to do with chauvinism, btw? Isn’t chauvinism about sexism? Genuinely curious.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chauvinism

    2: undue partiality or attachment to a group or place to which one belongs or has belonged

    3: excessive or blind patriotism

    Arguing if you or another group is the rightful heir of a culture falls under definition 2) or possibly 3)

    Ok thanks, guess I was mixing it up with misogyny.

    To be clear I’m not of any kind of Slavic heritage, just familiar with the history of the Kievan Rus and the purposeful campaign by Muscovy to take that name and then erase Ukrainian language and culture.
