RT: Russia moves to end European treaties 

Moscow is set to renounce charters and treaties related to the Council of Europe 

President Vladimir Putin asked the Russian lawmakers on Tuesday to adopt a law that would formally end the country’s participation in 21 treaties and charters related to the Council of Europe. Moscow withdrew from the human rights body last March, saying it was captured by the US and its allies in service of Western political objectives. 

Putin has formally submitted the bill on terminating the treaties to State Duma chair Vyacheslav Volodin, following the provisions of a 1995 federal law.

Like when Subatai destroyed Europe with a small expeditionary force.

Yeah it's not surprising because they were kicked out of the organization to begin with.

Putin and Lavrov are very formal individuals. Protocol is followed and particulars are completed.

Why do this now? Tie-ing up loose ends.

Russia is going back to its Mongol roots as when it ceased to be European. You probably date the invasion as to when it became a despotic, dysfunctional authoritarian state.

Russian had married people from the steppe before such as the Cumans, but it was the Mongol invasion that changed Russia's character.
