Slavs
When the Holy Roman empires was obliterated, it was destroyed by tribes of Slavs, Vandals, and other Gothic tribes, who made a point of coming in from a north-east or north-west direction and BYPASSING the northern areas of the Empire, since it had no great value to them aside from random plundering due to it being a branch-off and was mainly used as farming and small towns; the "meat" of the Empire lay in the East and West. As such: there was, in fact, no "northern" roman empire. The empire, when it was eventually split and destroyed due to a huge number of causes -best outlined in the book The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, written by Edward, Gibbon- was separated into the Western and Eastern halves. The Eastern half came to be known as The Byzantium Empire. The Western half became known as Mediolanum. This last attempt at a more wide-reaching "civiliaztion" ended in ~480AD. After that time, it would become informally, and then formally known as "The Dark Ages."
The South Slavic group: Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Macedonians, Montenegrins; Bulgarians are of Turkish origin, only speak a Slavic language.
The time frame wasn't given to answer this question because Russia has been called more than one name. In World War II Russia was called the Soviet Union or the USSR.
Answer: the Slavic peoples are divided into three groups: eastern, western, and southern. The eastern group includes Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians. The western group includes Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks. The southern group includes Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks, Macedonians, and Bulgarians. Western Slavs, as well as Slovenes and Croats, are Roman Catholic while the other groups are Orthodox Christians. Bosniaks, however, are mostly Sunni Muslims. Another difference is that western Slavs, as well as Slovenes, Croats, and Bosniaks, use the Roman alphabet to write their respective languages while the other Slavic groups use the Cyrillic alphabet.
Slavs are an ethnic group that encompasses various Eastern European nationalities, including Russians. Russians specifically refer to people from the country of Russia. So, all Russians are Slavs, but not all Slavs are Russian.

Two important differences among the Slavs are their linguistic diversity, encompassing languages such as Russian, Polish, Czech, and Bulgarian, and their historical experiences, which have led to variations in culture, religion, and societal structures across different Slavic groups. Geographic location also plays a role in shaping differences among the Slavs, as those living in Eastern Europe have been influenced by different historical events and neighboring cultures compared to those in the Balkans or Western Europe.
Bulgaria is the country that means "land of the southern Slavs."
The Slavs
people of eastern Europe
The Slavs are one of the major language groups of Europe. The Slavs occupy much of Eastern Europe. They are important because there are so many of them. Russia is the largest Slavic nation. Others are (from north to south): Poland, Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, All of former Yugoslavia except Kosovo (Yugoslavia = southern Slavs), Ukraine and Bulgaria. Non-slavic nations in Eastern Europe include Finland, the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Hungary and Romania.
The early Slavs were not conquered. They were conquerors. They conquered most of eastern Europe.
