Since some individuals like to speculate on relations with Russia, I've decided to make a post and tell in details the history of Russian-Armenian relations.
This short post is going to be divided into several historic periods:
- Middle Ages and Moscovia
- Era of Russian Empire
- Soviet Period
- Contemporary histroy
In part 1 I will look at first and second periods.
Let's get started
Middle Ages/Moscovia.
The very first time the presence of Armenians is mentionned in the 9th century in Kievian Rus' in historical chronicles. The Kievo-Pecher Patericon tells a story of debate on medical treatement between Agapetus of the Kiev Caves (Orthodox Christian saint and doctor, as well as a monk in Kiev Pechersk Lavra) and Armenian doctor.

Many refugees found shelter in Moscow when they had founded Armenian settlements. Most of Armenians were skilled doctors, goldsmiths or craftsmen. Armenians in Russia during Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) rule enjoyed exclusive priviledges for they as they contributed to

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
