I think it's was pretty complex but largely undocumented so it's pretty hard to say in the early days. But holy shit, it's mostly wars that you either win with massive casualties or lose with massive casualties, rulers who never gave fuck about the people and the weirdest from of Christianity.

If you far back and count people from Kiev as Russians you get one crazy bitch, Queen and also saint Olga.
>The Drevlians where a small tribe in the Kiev territory.
>Wanted their guy on top so they sent twenty of their best men to persuade Olga to marry their Prince Mal.
>In response was have them buried alive.
>But then she sent a letter to Prince Mal that she accepted the proposal.
>Asked for the most distinguished men to accompany her on the journey in order for her people to accept the offer of marriage.
>So they sent the best men who governed their land.
>Upon their arrival, she offered them a warm welcome and an invitation to clean up after their long journey in abathhouse.
>After they entered, she locked the doors and set fire to the building, burning them alive.
Bitchs can handle their shit.

Imperial Russia was pretty cool to study. They're always slightly behind Western Europe, and when they FINALLY begin to industrialize, ww1 starts and the commies take over. Russia is pretty much that underachiever fat kid that you can make fun of, but don't want to mess with when angry.

Truth. The majority of Europe and all their great powers looked down upon them. Their army was never the greatest but usually the largest. Battles were fought with brawn not brain. If only more was recorded, we outsiders could better appreciate them.

>>Wanted their guy on top so they sent twenty of their best men to persuade Olga to marry their Prince Mal.
They also killed her husband

Best summed up as "and then it got worse".

I didn't know they killed her husband, make more sense now.

One was very sickly (and possibly retarded) and the youngest one had epilepsy that caused his death (either that or he was just straight up murdered).
