There's a Polish saying that points that up, whilst also alluding to the Poles' penchant for anarchy:
Musi to na Rusi, w Polszcze jak kto chce.
Musi to na Rusi, w Polszcze jak kto chce.
Of course. Russians are Scythians (nomadic branch of Sarmatians; Skiti - in Serbian directly means `nomads`, `wanderers`, `strays`). They were last to settled, so yes, they for longest stayed wild, savages if you want. But, considering their long isolation and rural nature they were able to retain ethnic name of RUS which possible could be even older original ethnic name for all Sarmatians (based on SRB). Linguistic science still seek for answer what is older SRB or RUS (in medieval Serbian sources both goes hand in hand and always parallel- old name for Serbian state was SRBIJA and RASKA at the same time; Poles knows Serbs as `Serbowie` and `Racowie`, Germans says `Serbi` and `Ratzi`, etc, etc). So, in old core of Sarmatia, in Serbia, exist parallelism/memory of ethnic name of ancients based on SRB and RUS (RAS). For example, close to Rome lived Etrurians. Etrurians called themselves `Raseni` (again close to them lived Sa-r-bini), there close was also region of `Raetia`. But,... its another story
But your problem Poloniuse3 is that you don`t have enough love in yourself for your civilization in its entirety (if I presume that you are Slavic). Its rather sad to me.
