>Russians consider themselves the 'Third Rome' and the inheritors of Byzantium
Do they not realize they were literally duped into discarding their own native paganism and culture due to the machinations of Byzantine political maneuvering?

Funny because Russia has the largest muslim population in Europe. Moscow is almost as much of an islamic shithole as London is.

False. Largest Muslim population, percentage wise is Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo if you consider it a state.
Absolute numbers mean nothing, Russian Muslims are there for centuries and they are 7-10% of population.

They also drink vine/vocka/beers and hate other muslims.
