I just watched enemy at the gates and I saw how ravaged russia was at that time. Its amazing that from those ashes rose a beautiful city it is today.
The sad (and amazing) thing that this happened numerous times with the same final. Maybe it's time to learn the lesson?
Edit I meant not the city, but the whole country.

Russians are so badass.
How many Russians You know personally? And from what ethnic group?
I would say unoriginal. Looks like Russians are just stealing stereotypes that were pioneered by Alaskans, Canadians, Finns and Swedes.
By the way, Alaska is a former Russian territory. Finland used to be a part of Russia for more than 100 years. Canada has many descendants of people who moved from Russia in the end of 19 century.
Early Medieval Ruthenian culture did not exist until the Rurikans (Swedes) came in. Russia took its' culture from Sweden
But that early culture was completely supplanted when the Golden Horde hanate invaded from the east and gave Ruthenian culture two options: submit or die. Russia, unlike Ukraine, submitted, and for centuries its culture came from Mongolia. I suspect most of the sweede had gone from it by the time they became independent again.
Sorry, what
? Ukraine? The Ukraine did not exist at the mentioned time yet. Not speaking that Russia have never been conquered by Sweden (yes we had a war, but actually it was a war started by the whole Europe against Russia), what happens when some nation invades into the territories of another nation and stays there for centuries? Kids get born. Then tell me, why there is no even slight trace of the genes typical for Mongolians among people populating Russian territories? Not at all. There is a lot more other inconsistencies in all this Golden Horde "theory" that I have no will to discuss.
