Exactly.Ooh! I know! What about Bulgars, Magyars (e.g. Hungarians), Polish, and basically every other Slavic and non-Slavic people inhabitting Eastern Europe start declaring that they want their homelands in Russia? Using that argument, they were there before the Russians. Doesn't matter if they left it, right? What about Native Americans? They were there before the United States of America, and since they still exist, and on the grounds of the reason you just gave, they have the historical claim and legitimacy to take large swaths of the United States and their own lands, on basis that they were there before the "Americans".
