I just had a Ukrainian-Canadian tell me Russian is not Slavic but Finnic/Turkic/aSiAtiC hOrDes. There’s a difference between opposing Putin and denying linguistic reality.
Translation:
They're not really white. Unlike us.

Once met a Polish nationalist who unironically thought Russians were Swedes LARPing as Slavs and using the Rurikids & the origins of Novgorod as evidence.
Racism really does make you dumb.
Well, according to Polish nobility's own mythology, Poles are not Slavs either, they're Sarmatians descended from... Iran (funny how the concept of Aryan has the same geographical roots, totally unrelated... or is it?).
And Ustaše claimed that Croatians were descendants of Goths. I sense a pattern here.
Their contemporary sympathizers also push pseudoscientific Iranian origin theory.
There are some Ukrainian nazis and wacko russian Hindus/Zoroastrians who claim Scythian ancestry. Especially the Indo-Europeans archeological sites in Russia have become pilgrimage sites for them.
Some Polish chuds and historians would love to have the dynasty be descendants of vikings, but the only thing they have is misread of one of oldest documents issued by Mieszko I which actually says "I, Duke Mieszko" but they read it as "Law of Dagome".
If anything, it was in the other way, since Mieszko's daughter Świętosława, married first Eric the Victorious and next Swein Forkbeard and she was the mother of Cnut the Great.
Anti-Normanism is like a historical nationalist debate in Russia, though it's more denying Rurikids and the Rus was founded by Vikings and preferring an entirely indigenous Slavic origin.
I mean Russia is a gigantic country with many different kinds of people so it doesn't matter what they think. Slapping a label on it is only for racist purposes.
i love how they just casually throw finns under the bus there. whiteness, what a concept!
I would be tempted to ask if their grandchildren will forgive them for venerating Bandera.
Tatar Yoke! I've seen it millions times
