"The Russian Philosopher on the March" (13.07.2026)

A street conversation by Vitaliy Dribnytsia, most of which is devoted to philosophy (outside the site’s topics). Selected here is the single new verifiable historical fact — on Simeon Bekbulatovich, the baptized Chinggisid khan of Kasimov whom Ivan IV the Terrible installed around 1575 as the nominal “Grand Prince of all Rus’.” A source for the article on how “Rus’” became “Russia.”
