I like how the Lithuanians conquering and ethnically cleansing the Kievan Rus is called “liberation”.
Also wonderful how the Catholic German and Polish settlers of the Baltic area are called “Lithuanians”.
Bonus points for completely ignoring where the Rus actually came from prior to founding Kiev.
Why do they keep using the word “horde?”
Because that’s what they are called in the Europa Universalis games, and that is the sum of their history education
On a serious note the Mongol splinter khanates called themselves “Hordes”. And some of them preceded their Horde name with a colour to distinguish each other. You had the White Horde, the Blue Horde, and the Golden Horde.

Lithuanians are fellow “victims” of the USSR so anything they’ve done is seen as good, regardless of whether it was violent or not.
