WHAT PEOPLE ARE CALLED
Russian
These are English demonyms for people from Russia. A demonym describes a connection to a place; it does not mean everyone shares an ethnicity, language or religion.

Civilizations, flags & standards
Modern borders are a starting point for exploring the past. These cultures and states occupied some of the same land; they were not the same country. Dates describe each civilization or state as a whole, not continuous rule over every place listed.
A sourced civilization and flag trail has not been added for Russia yet. No ancient flag is inferred from the modern one.

Wars and conflicts
Conflicts this country is attached to. Click one to see the others. Each says what kind of claim it is: a principal belligerent is hand-checked against the modern state that succeeded the power that fought, while a recorded participant comes from the bulk import, which does not separate combat from funding, basing, occupation or reconstruction. Neither list is complete, so a country missing from a war may still have taken part — which is why the quiz no longer asks who fought in what.

Checked facts
Most of this page is imported in bulk and carries no source of its own. These entries were checked by hand against the source named, and are reapplied after every dataset rebuild so a refetch cannot quietly put the old value back.

Continents
— Seven-continent model. A country spanning two continents is filed under the one containing its capital; the other is accepted too.
The imported list was unordered and included overseas territory, so its first entry was not the continent the country is in.
