Why those people we try to free hate us so venomously ! Not only the unbelievers revolt, but even our core provinces have revolted ! There was even attempt in Moscow !!! Those traitors were delt without mercy, no rebel scum will stop our quest for Russia with Quality and Freedom ! Our stability has dropped, but our military might have been enough to supress all attempts except one. Volyn, those lices in true faith's hair, decided to defect to Lithuania ! Well, if they wan to be slaves of those we have dealt so severely in past, let them...out time will come and punishment will be severe !
On the other hand, our battles against Golden Horde and Sibir have been successful. Those inepts have no true understanding of fire and movement. Despite that our brave warriors have been frozen to death on steppes by thousands, war went on and there are plenty more where these came from ! And others beware, these are not ordinary troops, but with almost maximum morale !
We will bring the Asia to feel the grasp of talons of our glorious two-headed eagle ! Our good relations with Poland and Sweden added with our military prowess will keep our Western borders safe for some time. It's time to explore the unknown and go where no russian has gone before !
