Someone should tell them that they are not Aryan.
Russia was never considered part of Europe, their history has been one big identity crisis.
First off, the Germans aren't Aryan either. Aryans are northern Indians and their estranged Roma relations.
As for Russia, got news for you, Europes borders are the Urals and the Caucus mountains. Kieven Russ and its successor states were all within Europe, as the Slavic people originated in Bohemia and moved out in all directions. Slavs used to rule upto central Germany. Siberia is colonized and annex territory and all the core states are well within Europe.
Geography and history, they're not just for breakfast anymore.
Well, not being Aryan has not stopped anyone before. The Germans were not Aryans. The Supremacist groups that claim Aryan heritage are also wrong about that.
Aryan refers to people of the Indo-Iranian language family, which in particular oscillates around certain Northern Indian tribes, certain Iranian groups, and Zoroastrians who were expelled from Persia to India some centuries in the past.
Let me put it this way. ALL groups that call themselves Aryans (and shave their heads bald, wear bed sheets, or submit to Feuhrers) would probably lynch a TRUE Aryan if they ever met one. And if you want to find real Aryans you would need to travel to certain parts of India, and a small section of Iran.
The reason the kook groups use the term Aryan is because in Vedic Sanskrit (a language found in and around the Indian sub-continent, and considered over there as holy) it means 'noble.' This meaning was mixed with a falsey construed 'origin story, ' and suddenly Nazis were Aryans, Jews were a slave race, and ovens and Zykon-B were turned on.
Stupidity knows no bounds. And it also tends to be extremely ignorant since most of these groups (be they in Russia, Germany, or the USA) do not even know the meaning of what they claim.
What would make me laugh is if a true Aryan group in India tried sued the Aryan Nation for defamation. The suit would probably not get far, but it would be a hoot (and one case where i would find it ok for lawyers to try and make a quick dime). LOL.
Russians ARE Aryan. They belong to the Slavic branch of the Indo-European/Aryan family. The other branches are the Nordic (Germanic-Scandanavian), the Italic, the Greek, the Indic, the Irani, the Hittite, the Tokharian etc. In fact the "purest" Aryans would be from Iran, the land of Aryans
