The people express their ideal of perfection in self-name, which connects only with itself. In their own name, nations affirm that they are human beings. Russian people are called in different words, for example, Finns have called Russians for many centuries "Vienna", Lithuanians and Latvians - "Krivas". However, the Russian people do not accept any of these names. Do not forget that we are still Slavs, and this brings together many other nationalities.
Our second tribal name is Slavs, it is associated with the concept of word and speech. Slavs are people who speak reasonably and clearly, unlike the rest. Slavans are a people who appreciated the word so much that they decided to accept it in their name.
Disputes over the appearance of the name "Russian" are still trying to distort the root of the word. The Germans claim that the Russians descended from the Normans, who came to take control of the Russians in the 10th century. That is, the Germans believe that this name was given to us by foreigners.
Another version of the origin of the name says that the name "Russian" appeared from the name of a small tributary of the Dnieper River, which was called Ros. It is worth noting that peoples usually do not take names for themselves by the names of rivers; history does not know such cases.
Not so long ago, one academician was able to prove that the Russian name refers to the root of the Indo-Aryan and Slavic: rox or rux, which means "light", "white". From which it was concluded that the Russians are a white people or a people of the Light.
According to Arabic sources, where long before the writing of the Slavs, the name "Rus" was first recorded. These included tall people with fair skin, blond hair and eyes, that is, in the literal sense of the word - bright people. And the Russians themselves called their country Rus. This is probably precisely why the Russian people never encroach on well-organized lands of others, but develop their own, settle out, despite the fact that they are deserted, wild and impassable.
In our tribal names, the ideal of human perfection lies in the words: "Slovene" - people of the word and "Russian" - bright people.
Earlier, the name "Russian" was supplanted in every way by the name "Soviet", but now it is expelled by the word "Russian." The Russian people cannot respond to any name, the Russian people have a native land, one destiny and one native language for all. And history has shown many times that fighting with Russians is dangerous. Look at the faces of our children, because in their appearance Russian roots are visible, which is unmistakably determined by fair hair and light eyes.
