Revenge as a legal right of Russia
As is known, Russia as a result of the collapse of the USSR, which, according to Putin, is tantamount to "the largest geopolitical catastrophe of the century" (

The Russian people, who for centuries created the state in their primordial territory and defended it from numerous enemies, turned out to be morally disadvantaged. Putin’s remark is quite true that a large number of Russians after this catastrophe now live abroad, and moreover, in artificially created states they are subject to unprecedented discrimination, going so far as to learn a language that originated from, so-called indigenous peoples. Putin’s legitimate desire to restore historical justice (1.2) provoked the anger and indignation of the Western elite, who had long dreamed of taking possession of the riches of the Russian people, and today, when thanks to Putin, Russia began to rise from its knees, the enemies are deliberately called revanchism to cause negative emotions in the common people. According to them, the “revanchist” Putin is breaking the established world order, while at the same time ignoring the fact that the artificially created disintegration of Russia is a violation of that world order. Any legal right of Russia, such as returning lost territories or laying gas pipelines in international waters, is hostile to them, while they themselves are illegally trying to lay the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline (3) under the Caspian Sea, which has historically been Russia's inland sea.
I think Russia should immediately apply to the International Court of The Hague in order to punish Ukraine for the illegal occupation of the originally Russian land, namely Kievan Rus, from which the Russian state began, and also make claims to Iran, which should be responsible for the Scythians (Iranian-speaking people) for a long historical period illegally lived in the territory, which became Rus in a few centuries. True, after the Tatars destroyed Kiev, and Kievan Rus as a state ceased to exist, Rurik from the Scandinavian Rus tribe re-founded their Russian state, Muscovy. Thus, Kievan Rus and Muscovy are two completely different Russian states — the Russians because they belonged to the Ruriks, but this is another story. By the way, the population of these countries has historically been in the status of serfs (slaves) of the Ruriks, since Russia has remained in the definition of the adjective - “Russians”. Taking advantage of this circumstance, Putin rightly considers the Ukrainians and Russians, as former serfs Ryurikov, one people and gives him a legal justification to return the Ukrainians to Russia.
