They were cousins, actually.

All dynasties of Europe were intermarried.
So, Catherine was no exception.
She came to Russia, baptised to Orthodoxy and became a Russian.
Period.
That was a normal practice in Europe back then - when a ruler takes the culture and faith of his/her new state!

So, she was Russian!

It's kind of sad that you fanboi so much about a bunch of oligarch *******s that never really cared about people.

You guys had started a nice process in 1917, shame about what happened later.

How do you think a thirty or even a three hundred of Western tanks could change a thing on the battlefield, if they are handled by such imbeciles, who hand managed to loose a THREE THOUSAND of their own tanks alreay?

If Ukraine has lost 3000 tanks in the special operation Russia seems to have lost far more.

if this relatively small bolus of tanks makes a difference now it will say less about the superiority of the new tanks and more about how destructive this theater has been for tanks on both sides.

What makes you think think so?

Your "new" Western tanks are fifty years old! And they will be burnt out faster, than their Soviet 3000 counterparts, because Ukraine has already lost all of its professional soldiers, including the tank crews.

A shame, indeed, if by that you mean Gorby and Yeltsin and a 15 years period of time of the last century, when Russians have trusted the West and have been fooled by it!
