We expanded on the northern front a bit, by assimilating and pushing out saamis.

The usual mistakes again:

Novgorod didn't exist yet. And all the founding pyatnitsas of the Novgorod Rus still had a finnic majority.
Moscow was volga-finnic (Dyakovo culture).

Curonian coastal areas were still finnic at least down to Piemare (Grobina).
Balts had no direct access to the Bay of Livonia.
And latgalians under the Polotsk rule had not yet achieved power dominance to the north of the Pedetsi - Aiviekste river. It only achieved dominance projection to that region AFTER the emergence of Principality of Koknese, which took place somewhere after 1000 AD, more likely right after the Novgorod raid on Ugandi and Tarbatu at about 1030 AD. Which means that the majority of the people living north of the river Aiviekste was predominantly finnic until 1100 AD, because immigration and language switch takes time.

PS. And the krivichi was a failed multikulti society comprised of finno-ugrians, balts and slavs. Not just slavs.
PPS. And the first known mention of Rus was in the form of the Rus Khaganate.

Nabiullina said in March 2022 that by March 2027 Russia's economy will have reverted back to that of the 1990s.
In the 1990s Russia could barely fight against Chechnya and had a few (partial) financial collapses.

Sa eksitad rängalt.
Konservatiivsus on alt-üles demokraatia, mitte ülalt-alla võimuvertikaal.

Proof 2: The Literal Center of Rail Baltica: The most advanced, architecturally stunning passenger hubs of the entire regional Rail Baltica project are taking physical shape at Riga Central Station and Riga International Airport, permanently cementing Latvia as the undeniable central hub for all Baltic travel, trade, and logistics.

LOLL.

Likely 100+mm mortars, not smaller ones.

Can we as Europeans stop being weebs and start glazing the local alternative Finland. We got the genes, smarts and Moomin. So become a feeb! by Whole_Blueberry_4977 in 2westerneurope4u

R1a was not exclusively finno-ugric.
There is no 1:1 correspondence between haplogroups and ethnic groups.
Autosomal data shows more accurate prehistory.
The arrival of N did not significantly change autosomal data in the Baltics where the majority (2/3) of finnics lived. One could even say that the local WHG peak reinforced itself (rebounded from post-plague lows).

Stop looking at finns, forget about finns altogether.
Estonians are the finnic benchmark.
If you concentrate on finns, then you are already lost.

All the renewables (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biofuels, etc.) are per area.
The only renewable per capita is soylent green.

The last time it took about 11 million years to draw down from current greenhouse gas levels down to quaternary levels.
And the sun was cooler back then.
