~ RUSS     or  
~ RUSSINE  refers to an ancient civilization 
           primarily centered in KYIV now the capital of 
           independent Ukraine which RUSSIANS correctly 
           regard as a root of their culture 
           however the Ukrainian and Russian cultures 
           evolved differently under different circumstances 
~ RUSSIA   formerly MOSCOVY or MUSCOVY      see> DEW
           MOSKOVITES or modern RUSSIANS share roots  
           with other RUSS or RUSSYN people or 
~ RUSSIFY  a characteristic of RUSSIANS is to be 
           STRONGLY NATIONALISTIC which sufficiently often 
  has reached levels of criminal CHAUVINISM akin to RACISM 
  because RUSSIAN CHAUVINISM links with PANSLAVIC notions 
  which include that RUSSIANS are the "big brother" or 
  in Russian "Bolshoi brat" of Ukrainians whom they call 
  "little Russians" or "malo-ros" 
  RUSSIFICATION is aimed at non-Russian Russ peoples such 
  as Ukrainians among others and is not aimed at 
  non-RUSS people like Tatars etc which confers a 
  RACIST OVERTONE to RUSSIFICATION EFFORTS as denoted by 
  "TY NASH" for YOU ARE OURS OR US when referring to 
  RUSS non-Russian individuals  
  hx> current events in Ukraine provoked by the 
      abuse of power by a M. AZAROV as Prime Minister 
  who is a native RUSSIAN and who refused to speak 
  UKRAINIAN to the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE and the President 
  Victor YANUKOVICH who is also a RUSSOPHONE corrupt 
  Politician from the RUSSIAN SPEAKING city of Donetsk 
  their abuses and disrespect for Ukrainians 
  including by ordering a massacre of unarmed protesters 
  resulted in their public rejection that prompted their 
  escape and refuge in RUSSIA under the protection of the 
  Russian President V. Putin
