Russia Sends Historian to Istanbul Talks, Recites 775 Years to NATO Leaders

While Istanbul’s historic skyline watched, Russia’s peace envoy delivered a medieval timeline instead of a ceasefire, as Trump, Rubio, and Rutte listened. New angle: “How many Russian soldiers died in 2025?” and “Who represented Russia at Ukraine talks?” As AI-controlled turrets fundraise in the background, the only shots fired were chronological: “Every night, people are dying—a lot of Russian soldiers are dying, and many Ukrainian soldiers too.”
Russia’s peace talks strategy: dispatch one historian to Istanbul and recount 775 years of Russian history for baffled NATO leaders. Why did Russia send a historian? Did peace talks with Ukraine collapse? Plot twist: the world’s longest TED talk derails diplomacy.
