Josefina and others, I am glad you liked the test. I am the person who created it. I am thinking about creating a sequel. Do you think I should make it harder or not. Mikhail (the one who claims to know the history), perhaps you can shed some light who founded Novgorod and why it was not burnt by Mongols. Also, what is the largest lake in the world? I am always eager to learn, even from those who call me dumb:)

Yes, that’s in part why I decided to publish the link – it is nothing like all of those endless tests on “Russia” you find on Facebook, for example. You really have to think during this test. And I like to think
