Hardly a historical anomili. Kieven Russ was conquered in the 1200s by the Mongol-Tartars but reconstituted itself in the form of Moscovy in the 1400s. So did Poland, Bohemia and many other countries. Most of the Balkins...especially Serbia and Greece...hardly an "anomali".
Hardly a historical anomili. Kieven Russ was conquered in the 1200s by the Mongol-Tartars but reconstituted itself in the form of Moscovy in the 1400s. Not exactly. The Rus was split into three groups: the Russians, the Ukranians, and the Byelorussians. Moscovy simply conquered the northern areas and constituted a distinct group decended from the Rus.
So did Poland, Bohemia and many other countries. Most of the Balkins...especially Serbia and Greece...hardly an "anomali".
You have a point here. However the diaspora is a factor that none of these groups had to contend with.
Time is also a factor. Poland was an independent country until the 1790's. The Bohemians/Czechs were independent 800 years ago. The Serbs and Greeks were under Turkish tyranny for under 500 years.
The last Israelite state was in 620 for one year as the Jews and Samaritans revolted against the Byzantines in the last Byzantine-Persian War.
