I ran into my aunt at work, who I haven't seen in over a decade. In our conversation I mentioned playing with her antique chess set when I was little. 15 mins later she's back in the door and hands it to me, saying she wanted someone to treasure it properly 😭😭😭

Every time someone represents Slavic stuff with the Scandinavian runes there are 3 possibilities:
1) Something about very early Kievan Rus - 10%
2) Slavic neonazis - 60%
3) Someone who has done shitty research - 30%

From time to time, I see comments
under my posts like:
“It’s Kiev, not Kyiv,”
“It’s Kievan Rus, not Kyivan.”
Let me set this straight:
“Kiev” is what russians call our capital
It comes from their language,
an old way of erasing our identity and our roots.
Using Kyiv is a choice -

I have an hand carved chess board that I got from my aunt who got it from my cousin when he was studying in Russia. It's one of my favourite possessions. It's at least from the 1960s if not earlier.

It's just two words, but a personal favourite find in a medieval manuscript is this signature of Anne, a princess of Kievan Rus and Queen (Regent) of France.
Written on a 1063 charter, it reads "АНА РЪИНА" ('ana rъina' ~ 'Anne Queen'). The language is Old French, but the script is Cyrillic!

Olga of Kyiv was a 10th-century regent who ruled Kievan Rus' after the Drevlian tribe brutally murdered her husband, Igor, for over-taxing them. Consumed by grief and a need to secure her son’s throne, she transformed from a mourning widow into a ruthless strategist of cold, calculated revenge.
