Passage Putin about the meaning of baptism of Kievan Rus to Vladimir , " the Russian nation , and Russia as a whole " is an attempt to steal other people's historical heritage.

Writes about this on his page on the social network Facebook NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov, informs Цензор НЕТ.

"If we talk about the historical roots, we do not understand, what relation has one of the ulus of the Golden Horde to the Kiev Principality and Prince Vladimir", - Turchynov stressed.

He notes that after Vladimir baptized Rus, for another two centuries, nobody had heard of Moscow or Muscovy, therefore, to Kiev, Kievan Russia and Vladimir they have nothing.

"If we consider the issue from the point of view of the historical influence of personality on the formation of the "United Russian nation and the Russian state", it would be logical to lean not to our Kiev Prince Vladimir, who even could not imagine that in the Northern swamps you build something, and by Batu Khan, who gave Alexander Nevsky label on the Principality", - said Turchinov.

"Muscovy could occur only with the support of the Tatar-Mongol invaders. In essence, Moscow still keeps the legacy - Horde formula management and communication with neighbouring countries. And attempts in recent times to solve their problems, receiving another shortcut in the East, are most likely to meet their mentality, historical and ethnic roots," said Turchynov.
