Talk:State of Great Russia (Fascist World)

"Great Russia" isn't exactly a good name for "bigger" Russia. "Russia" originally was a name for all the lands descendant from the old state of Rus, that is for Ukraine, Belarus, and proper Russia. Earlier these lands were distinguished as "White Russia", "Small Russia", and "Great Russia" respectively. So "Great Russia" is actually smaller than just "Russia" -- such name denotes that the country does not include Small Russia (Ukraine). Russian czars were officially titled "Emperors of all Russia", so you probably should name the country "State of All Russia".

BTW, the same goes for Poland. "Great Poland" is a relatively small historical region within Poland. — Hellerick 07:02, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
