Chud or Chude is a term historically applied in the early East Slavic annals to several Baltic Finnic peoples in the area of what is now Estonia, Karelia and Northwestern Russia.
Who knew the Chuds were a real historical people!
According to the Primary Chronicle, the invading troops of Yaroslav I the Wise defeated "Chuds" in a battle in 1030 and then established the fort of "Yuryev" (in what is now Tartu, Estonia).
This kills the Chud:
According to Old East Slavic chronicles, the Chuds were among the founders of the Rus' state.
As we all suspected, Russoids basically have Chud blood running through their veins.
In Russian folk legends, the Chuds were described as exalted and beautiful. One characteristic of the Chuds was 'white-eyed', which means lightly colored eyes.
Interesting. Chuds really have degenerated over the last 1,000 years haven't they?
Russian bylinas reminisce about the destruction of the Chuds when the Slavs were occupying their territories. When a Chud township was attacked, Chud women drowned themselves, along with their jewels and children, in order to avoid robbery or r*pe
Chud women would rather keep themselves safe than be subject to fiery but mostly peaceful actions in their vicinity, an attribute they and their descendents still express to this day.
Chud has become a swear word in the Arkhangelsk region. As late as 1920, people of that region used legends of the Chuds to scare small naughty children.
Warn all your kids that if they don't behave the Chud is going to come for them! They'll be sacred shitless.

Mutton, an Indigenous woolly dog, died in 1859 − new analysis confirms precolonial lineage of this extinct
breed, once kept for their wool.
Indigenous Coast
Salish women
traditionally wove blankets using woolly dogs' fur, a breed specifically bred for their fleece, which declined in the 19th century due to colonialism and repressive government policies.
Mutton, the last confirmed woolly dog specimen, lived in the 19th century and his DNA analysis
revealed a long history
of selective breeding and isolation from other dog lineages, with evidence of European
settler-introduced genes.
The study
of Mutton's genetic sequencing and reconstruction of his appearance sheds light
on the importance of preserving Indigenous traditions, with hopes of reviving the woolly dog breed through selective breeding and care in the future.

Tim Leissner was a wild dude.
In 2014, he married Kimora Lee Simmons, while he was still married to his first wife. Leissner gave Simmons photoshopped documents showing that he was divorced, and created a fake email account in his wife's name, pretending to be her in order to convince Simmons that he was really divorced.
Even as a Partner at Goldman, he once seduced and got engaged to a female CEO in an attempt to win her business, and "converted" to Islam to win a big Indonesian mandate.
But the real mastermind of the 1MDB fraud was Jho Low, a nerdy, fat kid who leveraged his relationship with the Malaysian Prime Minister (who is also now in jail) to pretend to be a hotshot financier.
After stealing $4 billion, he paid out $1 billion in bribes, kicked back $150 million to Leissner, and then spent the rest on real estate, a private jet, a $120 million yacht, a $50 million Basquiat, and a $20 million diamond necklace.
He financed "The Wolf of Wall Street," hosted parties in Vegas and St. Tropez, and paid Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, and Paris Hilton to show up.
He also gave Miranda Kerr $8 million in jewelry to be his girlfriend, and bought Marlon Brando's Academy Award, which he gave to Leonardo DiCaprio as a birthday gift, along with a Picasso.
He is currently a fugitive on the run in Malaysia.

Most young people haven't seen it, but everyone should watch the Enron documentary, "The Smartest Guys In The Room," and read the book.
He impregnated a stripper while married, got divorced, cashed out near the peak, and left Enron before the implosion that he was largely-responsible for creating.
Because his stock-sale was divorce court-ordered, he couldn't be accused of insider trading, and got to keep most of his ill-gotten gains.
He left Enron with $250 million, married the stripper, bought a Gulfstream, and a 77,000-acre ranch (with a 14,000 ft mountain he re-named Mount Pai), making him (at the time) the second-largest landowner in Colorado.
