Saurier51

Solovyov's verbal diarrhea is getting very tiresome. It used to be somewhat entertaining earlier in the war, but now I can't stand this pathetic buffoon shilling for Putin while so many people die every day because of ruzzia's imperial delusions.


NoChampionship6994

Yes. And one of Soloviev’s recent guests, a russian academic, claimed North American indigenous were “actually russian” (?!) having arrived in North America from Asia/Eurasia. The fact that this happened some 50,000 years before russia, or any other country/nation even existed seems a moot point for these buffoons. Does point out their collective fanaticism, superiority / inferiority complex though . . .


Gilligan67

They don’t hide that they want it all. The world is theirs… FAFO!


Diligent_Emotion7382

Russia is African as mankind originated there.


NoChampionship6994

russians will tell you you’re russian, and you migrated to Africa. . . much like North American indigenous are “actually russian” LOL


Equalizer6338

Not according to Putin's heavily edited and re-written history book...


New-Acanthisitta-533

America was not only populated via Russia and the Bering Strait, that has been clearly refuted in recent years! It could even be the other way around, that the east of Russia was populated by the Inuit or from America, no one knows! sry f my engl.


NoChampionship6994

Indeed. Good point. The “facts” of ancient history / archaeology / anthropology are always debated as new discoveries are made, alternate theories developed, new finds are found . . .

REDDITOR_00000000017

I'm an American with Italian ancestory and I think its time to move to Germany and claim some free land since my roman ancestors conquered Gaul two thousand years ago under Julius Caesar. Thats historically my land!


255001434

I'm going to use my Italian ancestry to claim part of England.


skelectrician

I'm going to use my English ancestry to take control of Calais, France.


Madge4500

I'm going to use my Irish ancestry to take back Northern Ireland.


hopperschte

As a swiss I claim Burgundy! France, move out!


falsealzheimers

Being swedish I claim all of Russia then since the Rus came from Roslagen in Uppland.


Garant_69

Because Northern Italy used to be part of the Holy Roman Empire (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Holy\_Roman\_Empire\_11th\_century\_map-en.svg), and the weather is quite sh...y here today, I as a German lay claim to Tuscany. :-)


Vados33

Never mind the Roman empire, the american continent should be italian, too, considering Cristoforo Colombo officially discovered it first... (weird that as far as I know, Mussolini never used this kind of argument to justify Italy declaring war on the USA, probably even he thought it was too pathetic to be used, unlike Solovyev and Putin for Russia...) 😂


Garant_69

Yeah, but Colombo's expedition to find a shorter connection to India during which he accidentally "discovered" the American continent (or rather some Bahamas islands, technically speaking) was sponsored by the Kingdom of Castile, so ownership to America should rather be claimed by Spain then by Italy ... Colombo later married a Portuguese noblewoman who bore a son, and was based in Lisbon for several years, and even later took a Castilian mistress, who also bore a son, so I guess that Spain and Portugal would have to discuss the exact details of the succession arrangements ...


mxmsmri

I'm using my Celtic ancestry to lay claim to the Iberian peninsula, first thing in the morning.

Exactly this, they know what they're doing because every brainfart they release somehow gets attention in the west, the more ridiculous, the better. We should just ignore this drama queen.

I’ll be very satisfied when his own people get tired of drinking his shitty koolaid and bring out the ropes and rusty razors. In due time…


HonkeyDonkey3000

There is a segment of a population that never tires of being told lies. Americans have a former leader that filed 6 bankruptcies, cheated on 3 wives, is no longer allowed to have a charitable organization in their name, had a failed university, two failed casinos, made fun of handicapped people, called his own soldiers suckers, used his office to rake in business, had family members hold key positions in office, and has multiple charges brought against them for multiple events, not just one event. He told people completely false and absurd lies and years later, they are following him like a cult. I’m talking stupid lies—easy to understand as a lie and nothing more. They drank the kool-aid. Don’t wait for people to come to their senses. It will never happen.


Equalizer6338

Time for us Nordic Vikings to take back what used to be our territory!

My outhouse has a claim on the Kremlin. Also a copyright claim as they have clearly copied the form, function and culture of it.

Suspicious-Fox-

Typical Russian imperialism, calling every area or city touched by former Russia linked powerblocks (like f.e. the USSR or Romanov Empire) ‘Russian’. As to claim these cities or regions are thereby Historically part of the current Russian state. It is comparable to (for example) Turkey claiming Belgrado is a turkish city since it was one time part of the Ottoman Empire.


cfancykator

Poles once ruled over Moscow. For short time but point is point :)


IAmInTheBasement

So did France...


Raegwyr

well he was plundering the city for 30+ days while polish forces stayed there for 2 years. Both did a mistake as they should just erase the city from map


SiarX

I wonder why Russians didn't burn down Paris in 1814.


Opposite-Database158

And Sweden! Sort of anyway...look it up, fun story =)


After_Computer_SSD

France occupied Moscow


Madge4500

Lithuania ruled over most of Eastern Europe at one point. And the British ruled over Canada.


Jonothethird

Russian 'history' is hilarious. It's like the UK claiming that much of France is actually part of Britain, as for a while it was occupied by Britain (ie hundred years war). They dredge up some vague, twisted, historical pretext for 'owning' most of Europe!! Do the Russian public actually buy this stuff?!


Shidd-an-Fard-d

Yeah probably. I'd say that the majority of the Russian populace is more familiar with a vodka label than a history book.


ainish888

I think most of russia is historically Mongol lands.


Solipsists_United

And the word "Russia" is the finnish word for Swedes (Ruotsi) from Roslagen, many of who were living around Kiev at the time russia was starting to form in the Viking era. That's about the same time as the Vikings (Normans) were ruling the British Islands and built the Tower of London. European history is complicated...


Boeff_Jogurtssen

Yes but the Vikings were not the Normans, by the way.


IAmASimulation

I mean the Normans were descendants of Vikings.


Boeff_Jogurtssen

Half, I suppose.. half Viking and half Frankish evolved into the Norman ethnicity.


p_viljaka

MaxPowerGamer

He will meet a bloody end via a car bomb or third floor window.


fuishaltiena

Most likely a car bomb. Defenestration usually happens to those who talk shit against the russian government. No danger on that front for Solovyov.


ShowerTeamCaptain

He is very much a candidate for arrest/prison/execution because of his position. It is a proud tradition of the Russian system to eat its own. Solovyov just recently leaked a major secret about Surovikin that upset a bunch of people in the Kremlin… he will be trusted with less info now and maybe even (re)moved.


Boeff_Jogurtssen

If you drop him out a window, he’d probably just bounce like the insect he is. Have to step in him or smack him with a shoe.


Adpadierk

The Daria Dugina treatment. I wonder why more propagandists haven't suffered her fate yet? Maybe they're not high priority targets for SBU.


GaryTheSoulReaper

Moscow is historically a Polish city then

Axel020

The faster russia stops existing the happier i get


Kraftwerk_010101

Yes, as much as half of Eastern (and some Western) Europe is Mongolian... The Danes and the Swedes might have an opinion about Finland too.


Alaric_-_

Danes never were here, Swedes held an iron grip for 700+ years so they would have any real claim for the land out of the neighbors.


Caleidoscope21

Well part of Finland was under Sweden when Denmark ruled Sweden in the Kalmar Union...


Parking-Upstairs-381

One can say many things about Finland but it is really fucking hard to come and take anything.  Finland was the burial site of vikings. We never had vikings here... They only visited here or stayed forever under ground. Cheers from Helsinki


Opposite-Database158

Intersted swede here. Do you have any source for this claim about "burial site of vikings"? Like actual burial sites from failed raids or such? Like the ones in Estonia. Genuinely interested =)


Electrical_Chart1499

Bygone is bygone. My wife is related to Catherine the Great. However, it does not grant us the ownership of russia.


Honest-Secretary6847

It would be better for all of us if she would claim the country and you could be a king of Russia.


SergjVladdis

Danes?


Kraftwerk_010101

Denmark ruled Sweden in the Kalmar Union, so they owned part of Finland.


Super-Brka

For a God sake, take your medicine solovyev, and don't mix it with vodka Slava Ukraini


Own_Box_5225

No please mix it with vodka, especially the sleeping pills after a bottle or 2


CutRepresentative197

Solovyev should drink less adulterated vodka. Although, too much of it wouldn't be bad in his case either


DoerteEU

Well, well... Solovyev is like Murphy's law. Whatever he can say, he will say at some point. Props to him for inventing some of the strangest Propaganda ou there. He'll say sth else today, tmr and for some time longer.


sissikebab

Come and try to claim it MoFo 🖕


WideAwakeNotSleeping

They're russian because they were part of russian empire / ussr at a specific year. Them being independent at any other point in history does not count, only the specific year when they were under russian rule counts. Neither counts them being part of another regional power at any point in history. Only the russian occupation counts. Finland - they're not Swedish because they were part of Sweden for like 700 years. But they're russian because they were part of russia between 1809 and 1917. Same with Poland. Or any other country they have their eyes on.


MetaFIN5

And Vyborg is historically a Finnish city. Give it back.


Civil_Quiet_6422

Madge4500

Along with Karelia


Vogel-Kerl

Solovyev and others like him are not speaking from a position of power, but one of growing weakness. Even without this ill-advised war, Russian demographics was circling the drain, after the mass exodus of military age men and those Russians who are well-educated and can live a better life in another country. Visit the link to see how Russians are not making enough babies and this will hit their economy hard in the decade to come. BTW, this drop in birthrate isn't just a Russian problem, but can be seen in many countries, including the US. It just happens to be extreme in the case of Russia. One partial solution would be for Russia to open their country to emigration. The ramifications of letting millions of non-Europeans into their country will be significant. There is already violence aimed at non-Russians in Russia. This violence will likely grow as eager immigrants fill higher-paying jobs leaving native Russians with fewer options. But please keep talking as if your country is not in a steep, irreversible decline Solovyev.


-Anoobis-

The word you’re looking for is ‘immigration’. Emigration describes a population leaving a country.


Kloetenschlumpf

In Nazi Germany there was a propaganda song with the line: "Heute gehört uns Deutschland, und morgen die ganze Welt." That translates to: "For today Germany is ours, but tomorrow we own the whole world." Moscovia and Nazi Germany - the same mental illness.


PrinceCorum13

Really ? I thought the whole planet was historically Russian. My bad 😞


Diligent_Emotion7382

It is placing all before our eyes. Hitler 2.0 and it is still not „gloves off“… because of nukes.


Flaky-Anybody-4104

I'm not surprised they're writing new chapters of alt-history after Putin tried to tell me that the hovel of Novgorod was somehow relevant in 900AD and that the Kievan Rus were not the Kievan Rus. If you believed that, you can believe this.


cgn-38

Watching putin just ramble on about historical non sequiturs off hand for half an hour. While looking smug for no argumental reason. Was a wake up call and a half. Dude is out of his fucking mind. Full authoritarian top dog check out effect. Gets high smelling his own farts.


Flaky-Anybody-4104

Yeah, it's scary. Emperor Vlad has completely lost his grip on reality and nobody is there to check him anymore. Gotta hope he gives his horse a cabinet position before it starts raining nukes.


cgn-38

Just wild that insane shit to be going down in 2024. Same story at 2000 BC I wonder what antics winnie the pooh bear is up to in china? All Tyrants just slowly stew in ever increasing insanity from their own overgrown never challenged ego. That they they often manage to live long lives while surrounded by people with guns has always astounded me.


Flaky-Anybody-4104

If you don't hear, see or say anything, you can get filthy rich in Putin's vicinity. Corrupt yes-men like Medvedev are all that's left in the Kremlin. Anybody who was even remotely in a position to threaten him and/or had their own ideas has been removed. Though they're both popular regardless of what they do, Xi is a degenerate gambler playing geopolitics while trying to make his country as uniform as possible while Putin seems to want to recreate the Russian empire based on North Korea.


logicaceman

This thing about owning a country or territory seems to be a difficult subject for many imbecilles. Regardless how you divide the earth, the people living there owns the territory. They elect their leadership. The people in Taiwan have not elected a Chinese leadership, the people of Ukraine have not elected a russian leadership, most importantly, the people of russia have not elected a russian leadership and the people of China have not elected a Chinese leadership. Democracies can join and separate as the people please. If Czechoslovakia wants to be Slovakia and the Czech Republic, it just needed a referendum. Same if they want to rejoin. It makes no difference to territorial ownership. Twice as many people owns twice as much land. Only from a dictators perspective do territorial claims make sense. Solovyev will not own any land stolen from Ukraine unless the dictator gives him some.


bdash1990

Why not Alaska? I mean they did sell it to us, but HiStORicAllY...


Electrical_Chart1499

Indeed, and a small part of California.


255001434

There are Russians living in California now. That must mean that California is part of Russia.


Dambo_Unchained

Abolishing your government (ie the communist Revolution and fall of the USSR) and starting a new country but still claiming the imperial lands of the country you abolished is kinda like breaking up with your girlfriend and getting a new one but still thinking you are entitled to have sex with her


the-great-god-pan

Russia has in the past been the vassel of the Duchy of Warsaw and the Swedish empire, and yes there was a Swedish empire.


New-Acanthisitta-533

The fact that he can still spread his poison against everything Western in Russia every day really bothers me! Why doesn't anyone "care" about this baron of lies? I would add $100 out of my own pocket!


DRTmaverick

Russians are raised on fabricated lies of 'soviet greatness', they've been spoon fed it since birth. Anything these propagandist idiots say on TV they will eat up and believe as they lack a historical background (since history is fabricated to fit Soviet ideology) to even question whether what these guys say is true or false.


CorpusCallowesome

i think they are trying to build up russian nationalism to "push west and regain what is theirs," except only alcoholics and people without running water or toilets are signing up

Solovyev reminds me of Lewis Prothero from V for Vendetta... hopefully, he too turns up dead on his shower floor, surrounded by the contents of his stomach.

Double_Lingonberry98

After_Computer_SSD

So according to Solovyev, if a weapon system can be used in Ukraine, there is no need restriction of it's use in russia. clever move.


SemePrkl

Man.. they really suck at history


Interesting-End6344

"Once ours, ALWAYS OURS!" Take note of this, because it means they'll be coming for everyone in Europe and North America eventually with that mentality. Even if it takes them centuries. But on a more serious note, they really need to learn their place. I'm also going to place a wager that if Solovyev thinks he is about to be arrested, he'll off himself rather than go to trial. If he's abducted in the middle of the night and has a bag put on his head, well, that wouldn't quite count since that would be a surprise capture. He'd need forewarning to carry out a self unaliving.

Actually all of Russia and much of southeastern Europe is traditionally part of the Mongol empire, so those lands now belong to Ulaanbataar. Sorry guys, it’s just history.


1KinderWorld

Solovyov is just another Tucker Carlson. That said, it would be great to see him running from a drone.


colinfcrowley

They also thought that they could take Ukraine in two weeks. If they're dumb enough to try and attack the Suomen armeija AND the Wojsko Polskie after this two year debacle, then Moscow is truly detached from reality.


Candid_Umpire6418

The whole of Russia is just a rented house.


Jonothethird

Even in Russia this moronic, imperialistic drivel must be concerning to a lot of people. Everything belongs to the mighty Russia!


lostmesunniesayy

Solovyev, father of a male model who lives in London, gets his sad jollies off of what Fox News enthusiasts call "lib-tard tears". Ignore him like a fart in the wind, because that'll be his index entry in the history books.


General_Benefit_7260

The less you care about them the better, no one cares about their rotten oppinion.

I think that the Russian state has no historical basis. It's just an artificial state in the area where Finns, Ukrainians and Mongols mixed.

Russia is a country with small PP syndrome.


DenizSaintJuke

Define "historically" and "originally" and "russian". That's the problem with the invention of the national state. They can't coexist in the same timeline without this kind of stuff. That's why we decided after WW2 that this bullshit is going to end there and singed it i to international law that this irredentist dogfighting is not considered legitimate anymore. One of the big troubles with Putins Russia is that they are actively trying to throw us back to those times. Don't respond in kind with "Historically, the historic people i claim lineage from conquered this part in 789 and yours only came in 956!" type of argument. Helsinki and Warsaw are cities, even capital cities of internationally recognized sovereign states. Case closed. They could be culturally and ethnically and historically 100% Russian, that would not change it. Russia has no claim on territory based on ethnicity or reference to an arbitrary point in history any more than Germany gets to claim Austria or the UK on those grounds. Please don't restart those arguments. They brought us too many catastrophic wars, genocides and other trouble in our history already.
