[@Pepperm1nts][@Inkwell]We should probably make a pm for everyone in Russia to work out the history, as I have claimed Kazakhstan which was part of Russia until 1952 but history is different

I was going to suggest that, looks like Hugs took the initiative and did that already.

If he hasn't I suppose you should invite Shyri/Feo too since he's Germany and the Germans had had honest relations with Russia, as well as there being German populations scattered throughout Russia since the time of Catherine the Great.

But Germany being dabbled in everything isn't unusual, before Germany turned towards Russia in the late 19th century it was oriented towards the UK; every ruling family in Britain in fact since the Reformation has been German to the point of not speaking speaking English.
