- meepmorp 5y agoMaybe OP is suggesting Putin wants to restore the medieval glory of Kievan Rus',
- easy_rider_2137 5y agoThat would be like Islandia resurrecting British Empire. Literally, well maybe actually Islandia has more right to do so than Russia have anything to do with Rus'.
- usr1106 5y agoRUS is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_registration_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_registra... of Russia, I cannot see anything wrong with that. No idea what Rus might be.
- eganist 5y agoIn fairness, I should've contracted even further to the ISO 3166 code "RU" Vehicle codes are only slightly less clear than the ISO codes, but they're used in a surprising number of places, like international sports. Edit: Oh wait, I'm mis-speaking. Sports tend to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3, which includes RUS So yeah, I guess I don't feel bad.
