The best part is, there is no other handy adjective in English that could substitute for "something or someone from Kievan Rus".

Steppetard and Stepptardite.

Sorry, but Icelandtards have really no place laughing at other nations. :P

What, poland isn't a nation anymore?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Perhaps Marti considers them to be a tribe of Russians?

Sorry, but Jewish people are the last ones who should be mentoring others about silly territorial disputes based on obscure historical claims. :P

When did that happen?

I thought that as far as Ukrainian cities go, L'viv was quite nice?   :)

Depends on how much of the historic ambiance of the place you can appreciate between beatings.  ;)

"Ruthenian"?

Why the fuck should we use a Latin name for a place where Latin was never even used? Not to mention that "Russia" was used in Latin documents as well to denote Kievan Rus.

Well, in the West we still use Latin sometimes because we still have some degree of civilization.  That wouldn't apply in Eastern Europe, though, so I don't know why anyone would use it there.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I hereby propose that anyone who partakes in that silly 'quoting someone who screwed up the coding' meme have the word 'Retard" added to their title.
