1. outline

East Slavs are Slavic peoples who speak a language of the East Slavic language group of the Slavic language family .

2. Detail

In the Middle Ages, it was a major member of the Rus region, which was formed from Kievan Rus, but after Kievan Rus was destroyed by the Mongol Empire in the middle of the 13th century, the Rus , or Ruthenians , diverged into several branches.[1]

The Rus who lived in the forest area north of Kiev became Russians centered around the Grand Duchy of Moscow , and the Rus who did not experience Mongol occupation in the northwest and came under the control of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania became Belarusians . The Rus community that remained near Kiev and experienced Mongol or Polish-Lithuanian rule differentiated into Ukrainians , while those in the Carpathian Mountains who came under the rule of the Kingdom of Hungary ( Austrian Empire ) became Rusyn people .

It is currently estimated that there are more than 200 million East Slavic people worldwide.

Among the three sectors of Slav, there are many contacts and mixed blood with Mongolian -Turk -Ural 's nomadic groups , which are the most Eurasian but different for each country.

Belarus , who is not dominated by Mongolia, is the most European and long -term dominant Russia , with a strong culture of Asian nomads, including Mongolia. In the case of Ukraine , it was dominated by Mongolia like Russia, but it was liberated earlier and was dominated by European countries, and European and Mongolian culture were mixed. Among them, in Russia, the territory is so wide that it is different from region to region. The Far East, represented by the Primoriye (Yeonhae), Sakhalin , Hava Robsk , and Kamchatka Peninsula , was heavily influenced by East Asian culture. The Russian Central Asia region ( border with Kazakhstan ) and Russian Caucasus were heavily influenced by Islamic culture. Kali Ningrad was originally a realm of the Baltic people, and later became a German speaker under the influence of the Eastern Citizen's movement , and even after being ruled by the Soviet Union, it was less Eurasian than Russian mainland, under the influence of Polish (Lithuania, who became an independent country by the collapse of the Soviet Union ). The Karelijah Republic and the Cola Peninsula are more likely to be the Uralian people than the Russian mainlands, except that religion is an orthodox church, regardless of the narrow Russian identity and the Ural -based indigenous people.

Religion is predominantly Orthodox , with the exception of Zakharpatia and Galicia , which are dominated by Polish-Lithuanian and Austrian Ukrainian Greek Catholics .

There is a Rus Khaganate , but its identity is not clear.[2] It accounts for 6% of the population. Of the remaining 40%, 30% are Moldovans of Latin origin.[3] It is a territory of Estonia, but the majority is Russian.
