It was literally the opposite. Russia planned to send the (largely Polish) military to help the Dutch deal with the Belgians. Polish military of a puppet kingdom decided to rebel against the tsar instead and THAT helped secure Belgian independence.

I don't know, maybe Yaroslav the Wise dreamed of a future Belgium and therefore Belgium is Russia too?

What is "Ukrainian sunflowers"? 

  • 1) Sunflowers are native to North America and were first grown as a crop by indigenous tribes over 4,500 years ago.
  • 2) *Reverse Checkov* played.

I always thought Russians referred to Russia as the motherland.

Actually what is translated into English as "motherland" is usually originally "Родина"(Rodina) in Russian (literally - "place of birth"). Also, world "Отчизна"(Otchizna) or "Отечество"(Otechestvo) is used (usually translated as "Fatherland" but in original Russian it misses "Land", more like "Father's place")

Thank you.

Of course! "Rodina"--anybody who's read early Tom Clancy should be familiar with the expression.

I heard that word years before Clancy was published.

Clancy (Red Storm, specifically) was 'my' introduction to the word/expression.
