The concept of #RusskiyMir (Russian World) is essential for the Russian imperialism and its war against Ukraine. Let us dive into this concept. A long THREAD:
The concept of #RusskiyMir is not new. It emerged first in the 19th century as a part of Russian imperial philosophy under the names of "Russian Idea", "Russian Spirit" or else, and was related to ideas of pan-Slavism, the unity of Slavonic nations under the rule of Russia /2 
During the Soviet era, the idea of #RusskiyMir was not popular in Moscow. But in the 1990s, after the collapse of the USSR, it emerged again in a quite different form. In a "methodology" intellectual sect, Kremlin-close intellectuals developed a concept of "Russian Archipel". /3
