Racially, its not so simple to classify the Russians. There were apparently many different ethnic groups back in the 15th century. And of course, some of them were admixed with the Mongols (who weren't banished until 1480).

Yes that's the alleged history as taught in universities that also teach CRT. A history taught after the communists slaughtered tens of millions of Whites, outlawed their religion, changed their history, and so on.

Meanwhile alt history tells a different story, although it is skeptical and bizzarre.

In alt history there is no such thing as mongols.

The Mongol occupation of Kievan Rus is not some recent historical confabulation. It has been known and accepted for centurys. Who says that it never happened?

Do you have a historical source for that? From before Napoleon, preferably.

But you haven't answered the question. Is there someone who seriously questions that part of Russian history? If so, lets here some names.

I'm not sharing names. But the reason I ask is because such sources don't exist.

Alt history tells all sorts of things. Religious texts do the same.

It's best to compare all evidence from all perspectives, rather than to latch onto any single view.

I'm with you on that one.
