It only means that the Russian nobility was related to the European one.

In my opinion, "is country X European" is an ill defined question. Spain has been under Islamic domination for 781 years. Greece has been under Ottoman domination for about 400 years. Should we consider Spain and Greece European? On which criteria? What about Turkey?

Let's get back to Russia. Dostoevsky is considered a very important European writer. St Petersburg is a city mixing all European architecture styles. But about 7.0 to 7.5% of the Russian population belongs to ethnic groups traditionally associated with Turkic languages. The two most significant oil-producing republics in Russia, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, are both historical homelands of Turkic-speaking Tatars and Bashkirs.

“Europe” is a cultural and historical label more than a coherent civilizational unit, and the countries grouped under it often differ profoundly from one another, sometimes as much as, or more than, they differ from non-European countries.

In an hotel, I could book a Jacuzzi for two hours for 10 euros. The default temperature was 38 degrees Celsius. It was a great experience!

There was even a sauna with a temperature of 95 degress! Highly recommended.

In Italy, it is Rossi. Mario Rossi is the most common first name/last name combination.

In Russia, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov. I don't know why they love so much Johannes from the Bible.

Many people whose last name was Kovalenko became Kovalyov during Russification in Soviet Union.

They want to keep their jobs, to earn their salaries, to live in peace.

They have fought wars, winning some, losing many, and have learned that opposing the system is not worth the cost.

Can't wait to taste wine from Poland! I hope people from Italy, France and Spain will go to Poland and Germany to make good wine!

They can learn from Georgia and Armenia how to grow grapes on mountains!

Is this an organic protest or a colored revolution attempt?

Forse, ha più senso lo spagnolo, per il numero di persone che lo parlano.

Or Spanish. A lot of people can speak Spanish.
