    Hi Walter. As you might appreciate, countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc. didn't exist in Jesus' day. These countries (& others) were all part of a large area referred to as Scythia. And this area stretched from today's Kazakhstan in the East through the Ural & Volga regions, onto eastern Ukraine.

    For added information, if interested, the Scythians were a nomadic people but quite fierce & warlike, often conducting raids into the southern areas (below the Black & Caspian seas). Maybe, that's why the Apostle Paul referred to them in Colossians 3:11 when declaring the comparison between Jew & Greek, those of the circumcision & uncircumcised, Barbarian (primitive/uncivilized), Scythian (warlike), & those in bondage (slaves) & the free. He was trying to cover the whole range of people groups, no matter who they were & what their beliefs & culture, that IN Christ they (& we) can all be one.
