Jesus Christ, you're fucking retarded.
The eastern Ukrainians are NOT Russian. The actual Russians came from what is today Finland. At the time, it was the nation-state of Muscovy. Or the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
There were several different horde tribes all over what is today Georgia, Ukraine, Perma, etc. Muscovy was dominated by the Golden Horde. Hungary was the eastern-most "civilized" nation only because it was controlled by Austria. Otherwise, Hungary would too have been an uncivilized horde.
