Slavs are not a race unto itself, but rather another component of the ethnogenesis of the scandinavian norse germanic people from the migration of the peoples and onward, made historically relevant by the kievan rus settlements in Gardariki by the norsemen who traveled down the Volga and founded both Russia and Ukraine before being christianized by the byzantine empire.
Many eastern germanics speak the artifical glagolithic church language invented by the greek monk Cyrill, which is where the term cyrillics stems from. Before that, they spoke old norse and revered pagan germanic gods.
All the so-called "slavs" are really descendants of eastern germanics. There is objectively no argument to be made against this historical fact.
false >The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European but an Asiatic and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese and, from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other amiable characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all-out son of a bitch, a barbarian, and a chronic drunk

R1a is not slavic. It's more iranic(scythians in that case) than anything else.
Language rarely correspond to actual bloodlines
David Gomez
I always see these drawings of slav chiefs with long hair and beards and white tunics, but then when you look at real slavs they always have smooth faces and buzzcuts and wear black sports apparel.
What's up with that?
Jordan Watson
No they weren't. Don't be stupid.
Brayden Ward
The early Rus nobility were mostly norse.
Christopher Jackson
>R1a is not slavic. It is though, it's East Slavic.
>Well, not really slaves but more like serfs. Not at all. Only the Novgorodians and that was just one family that ruled for a short time and became slav very soon.
Hunter Diaz
Depends on where you believe the first slavs originated, but it surely wasn't in Poland.
As I said, it's highly unlikely that all slavs share the same origin. It's like the germanic peoples. Germans speak a germanic language, but most of them are not really pure nordics

>, it's highly unlikely that all slavs share the same origin. Well they did at some point, like when the split with the Germanic family.
Christopher Robinson
Dude, the rurikids were all over the Rus, and the descendants of Rurik's companions as well.
Take a look at any old Rus noble family and look to whom the trace their origin. It's all germanic
Noah Wilson
>like when the split with the Germanic family. This was thousands of years ago. A slav is closer to a kurd or a iranian than to a german.
Henry Young
>the rurikids were all over the Rus The rurikids were basically slavs after two generations. >Take a look at any old Rus noble family and look to whom the trace their origin. Actually most of the nobles weren't Germanic at all.
Carter Fisher
>A slav is closer to a kurd or a iranian than to a german. You're literally retarded. Both are equally close to iranians through PIE migration.
Jackson Perez
>The rurikids were basically slavs after two generations. By language, yes you're right. But what I meant by norse was ancestrality >Actually most of the nobles weren't Germanic at all. By language or by "blood"?
Mason Turner
The slavic languages are more similar to modern iranian languages than to any other IE family
Juan Ramirez
>By language, yes you're righ No I mean by blood. Rurik's son took a Russian wife and so did his son etc. >By language or by "blood"? Blood
Elijah Edwards
>Rurik's son took a Russian wife and so did his son etc. Att the time, russian was a norse tribe from modern Sweden. Olga was not a local slav >Blood Any source?
>Att the time, russian was a norse tribe from modern Sweden. No it wasn't. I mean a slav. They mixed very quickly within a few generations. >Any source? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_nobility

t. German-Brazilian still salty about getting blown the fuck out in WW2.
