This is conspiracy thinking on such an interesting and somewhat logical level - I have to ask - are you Russian?
I am flattered by your curiosity, but, no, I am not Russian. I am Greek; my people have been generating conspiracy theories, both with and without any kind of logical support, since long before the very existence of the Rus.
In fact, my people were instrumental in generating the image of Russians as being conspiracy-minded. For example, Ivan the Terrible, a poster child for conspiracy theories taken to an extreme, and who lived a real Greek Tragedy of a life, actually was part Greek. His grandma was Zoe Paleologos, niece of the last Greek Byzantine Emperor.
