Ukrainian Postage Stamps
There is no rational, logical, or physical description of how free will could exist. It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.Tags: None -

Re: Ukrainian Postage Stamps
Regarding the vessel on the right.
I visited an archaeological/ethnographic museum in Russia a couple of decades ago, and was very pleased to see a wealth of material devoted to the Vikings who'd sailed up the Baltic, turned right in Lake Ladoga to go up the Volkhov River, and - by lakes, rivers and portage - make their way to the Dneiper River, dodging the rapids, in order to get to Kiev, the Black Sea and thence to the fleshpots of Constantinople.
"Niet!" said my guide "Not Vikings. Rus. Slav, like me."
"But these axes, those carvings: they're all Scandinavian. Varangian, as the Greeks and Rus called them."
"Niet! Rus!! RUS!!!!"
Her Nationalistic tendencies were bubbling to the surface. And so we left it at that.

Re: Ukrainian Postage Stamps
You were both right, more-or-less. The Rus were Vikings, essentially, and some were Slavs.What are you doing about it?
