Russia was founded by Ukraine. Seriously.
Kievan Rus, centered in Kyiv, was the first major East Slavic state, founded in the 9th century by the Varangian prince Rurik and his successors.
It united Slavic tribes across what is now Ukraine, Belarus, and western Russia, with Kyiv as its political and cultural heart.
The Russian state emerged later, after the Mongol invasions fractured Kievan Rus in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually rose to prominence and claimed succession from Kievan Rus.
Kyiv was the original capital of the Rus’ lands, not Moscow.
The Rurik dynasty, which began in Novgorod and Kyiv, continued through Moscow’s rulers, including Ivan IV (the Terrible), who declared himself Tsar of all Rus.
Modern Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus all trace cultural and historical roots to Kievan Rus, but Russia adopted the name “Rus” centuries later, reinforcing the idea that it inherited the legacy. Russia did not originate it. But Russian historians love to lie and pretend none of that happened and that Ukraine has no history or culture or legacy. Moscow was nothing but an empty swamp hundreds of years after Kyiv was founded. The trident symbol of Ukraine literally dates back to the Kievan Rus founders of Ukraine hundreds of years before Russia existed.
Do you really expect to be taken seriously with this detailed refutation of points you made up and attributed to a historian whose lecture you weren't even there to hear?
I'll buy their take over yours, Boris

Omg I'm CRYING with laughter both at Russians sending a historian to educate these morons AND at the morons objecting to being educated.
I don't know about the historian, but when it's been Putin doing the monologuing (he loves to drone on at heads of State who visited previously and tried to persuade him to stop invading Ukraine), witnesses have said that he's factually wrong on multiple key historical events. So now he's just sending someone to do the same in his place - I doubt the "history" was entirely accurate.
