The problem is, that from Africa, the nations representing the area are called by the respective nations, nobody for example took Mali and called it West Africa, as they did with Russia, which they should have called Russia (which it is) but called Slavs (which it is not). India is a nation now. But there never was any "Slavic state" - even the first proto-states created by Slavic tribes emerged long after the Slavs stopped being one entity and all of them had other influences.

So stop bellyaching and accept the fact, that this civilization should be called Russia, and calling it Slavs is a nonsense.
