<span>through new/different forms of art.</span>
There were many times in Russian history where Russia was influenced by Europe and Western traditions. After the reforms of Peter I or Peter the Great, most Russian artworks followed western art traditions. However, there were a couple of Russian artworks that have nothing to do with any other culture. For example, the Matryoshka doll, which is a Russian nesting doll, can be used to depict a Soviet leader or anything else.
Hope this helped :D
The correct anwer is C. Hittites and Aryans. Both groups of people are believed to have begun their expansion from territories now belonging to or close to Russia. Hittites originally occupied land near the Sea of Azov (present day Ukraine) while Aryans or Indo-Aryans were present in the area north of the Caspian Sea (nowadays Russia is a coastal state of that sea).
