I am the first Orthodox person in my line since the schism. From the misty fjords of the North, to the land of the Franks, to the English borderlands and eventually, the new world. I am the first in nearly a millennia. It’s no joke. I lay new cornerstones, as do many of us.

Remember: Most people in the history of the west after the schism had virtually no exposure to Orthodoxy. Judging and condemning them all is heinously stupid. People did the best with what they had and God will judge them accordingly.

No, it isn't necessary to "be Russian" to be Orthodox. But being Russian is first and foremost about being Orthodox, and they were chosen by God in a special way to feed and preserve the Apostolic patriarchates after 1453, and to spead the Orthodox faith.
