>No real russian would see much difference between a russian and ukranian
Oh, really? I thought it is Americans who can't distinguish Russian from Ukranian.
Russians and Ukranians are definetely very close culturally, but not the same. Difference starts with language. Not every Ukranian speaks pure Mova (Ukranian language), but still you can always tell he's not Russian by his speech. More difference you can find in set of mind, folklore, traditions.

>The only difference seen would be between those with more viking blood and those with more slavic blood. Moscow vs other cities; and only a few have the heavy viking blood.
Where did you get all this shit?
Indeed, the first Russian royal dinasty was of Scandinavian origin, but you are hardly be able to find much Scandinavian blood in modern post-Soviet population. Modern Russian and Ukranians are genetically mixture of slavs and asian nomads. And difference between us is mostly not in gens, but in culture.
As for Moscow, if we speak about demography, the only its difference from other Russian cities is amount of "churkas".

You are really delusional dumbass. You have a lot of misconception about Russia.
