	Little Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little Russia, originally Little or Lesser Rus' (Russian: Малороссия, Malorossiya; Ukrainian: Мала Русь, Mala Rus'), was the name for the territory of Ukraine applied in the time of the Russian Empire and earlier.
		While the term Little Russia was the Russian name for the geographic territory since the middle of the 17th century, the modern name Ukraine (Ukrayina) has slowly gained in usage since the 16th century.
		Today, many Ukrainians consider the modern usage of Little Russia offensive, as it often implies the denial of a separate Ukrainian national identity, an opinion not uncommon among Russian nationalists.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Russia
		The boundaries of Russia are: on the north, the Arctic Ocean; on the west, Sweden, Norway, the Baltic Sea, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Rumania; on the south, the Black Sea, Turkey, Persia, the Caspian Sea; Afghanistan, and China; on the east, the Pacific Ocean.
		The greatest increase in the population is given by the region of New Russia, that of the Baltic, and the Province of Moscow.
		The Little Russians inhabit the south of Russia and the basin of the middle and lower course of the Dnieper, and constitute 26.6 per cent of the total population of the empire.

	For Russia, little loss, little gain \| thebulletin.org
		The most important characteristic of the current relationship between Russia and the United States is that the role of nuclear weapons is not nearly as important as it was in the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union.
		The new relationship notwithstanding, Russia will respond to the U.S. decision to withdraw from the ABM Treaty, and regardless of whether its response is mild or strong, it will not make the task of reducing nuclear arsenals any easier.
		Russia not only lacks the resources to start a serious arms race, but apparently its deployment of additional nuclear weapons would not change anything in the current U.S.-Russian relationship--and therefore would not deter the United States from pursuing its missile defense program.

		Thus, Russia lay in the heartland of the Eurasian continent on a crossroads of north.south and east-west movements that prevented the country from belonging wholly to either the East or the west.
		In its early days, Muscovy, like the other little states into which European Russia was divided during the period of Mongol suzerainty, was ruled by a prince in conjunction with a council of boyars, a class of nobles who held land with no obligation to serve the prince.
		Russia had had its Reformation that ended in schism, but unlike that of the West, it had taken place in response to the demands of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, rather than demands from segments of the lower clergy and the people.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Russian Language and Literature
		The monasteries were centres of the literary culture of Russia in the eleventh and twelfth centuries; and the Greco-Russian clergy laboured for the diffusion of it.
		Among the historical works of Little Russia, mention should be made of the "Synopsis" of the history of Russia by Innocent Gizel, Archimandrite of Kieff, the "Enegesis" or history of the school of Kieff, and the"Paterikon" of the Petcherskaia hermitage by Sylvester Kossoff, Metropolitan of Kieff (died 1657).
		He was one of the most delicate lyric poets of modern Russia, whose lyric poetry, tinged with sadness, touches the deepest chords of the heart, and exhibits the soft melody of the literary language of Russia in its fullness.

		More, it is in the sinuous, subtle lines, the rooted, resonant tones and the close, colliding harmonies spun out in majesty by the church choir; in the sturdy syllables of Old Slavonic, a language kept alive by the Russian Orthodox Church.
		These are sounds now rising throughout Russia on the crest of a religious resurgence since the fall of the Communist regime in 1991.
		They are also heard in a steady stream of recordings of Russian liturgical music making its way to the West: something new under the sun, since the faith was driven underground in the Soviet Union in the 1920's, at the dawn of the recording era.

		The addition of "To Europe with Russia!" indicated that not only was Ukrainian foreign policy merely a tool to react to short-term changes (i.e., "multi-vectorism"), but worse still, Ukraine was meant to operate only under Russia's wing in the same manner as when it was a "younger brother" in the Soviet era.
		"Little Russianism," like "multi-vectorism," is a reflection of an amorphous and confused national identity and hence of an inability to choose between East or West.
		But "To Europe with Russia!" and Kuchma's steps this month have reinforced the view of many in the West and Russia that Ukraine is a 'Little Russian' part of Eurasia, not Europe.

	For Russia, little loss, little gain -- by Pavel Podvig
		The action-reaction escalation that the treaty prevented in the seventies assumed that the United States and the Soviet Union required thousands of nuclear weapons to deter each other and were willing to build up their offensive arsenals in order to preserve the capability to inflict "unacceptable damage" to the adversary.
		Similarly, Russia has no reason to be concerned about any missile defense system, since no defense would ever be able to intercept every missile and some would get to the U.S. territory in any circumstances.
		New relationship notwithstanding, Russia will respond to U.S. decision to withdraw from the ABM Treaty, and regardless of whether this response is mild or strong, it would hardly make the task of reducing nuclear arsenals any easier.
