Did you know that the name of the country Russia originates from what the people living in Russia called the Scandinavians (ruser), which later came to be the word for Vikings raiding the Baltic Sea? The vikings took cities such as Novgorod, Kiev and Smolensk. They didn't bother taking much land though: It was far easier to just tax the people living there.

You really interesting.

Did you know that Ukraine was made from people who lived at the edge of Russia in the east. They where workers and made there own language that was similar to Russia but softer. So Ukrainians gave coal to Russia for gold and Ukraine sounds a lot like the word 'near edge' in Russian "uo kray".

Yes indeed, but mainly if it's the players first time playing. Example: playing through a game took like a week first time. Second time took 6 hours. When aiming for all secrets found, gameplay went up to 9 hours.
