Deletion of Old Russian state

Comment: The article title should almost certainly be a redirect to Kievan Rus'. The content ''might'' be usable in Rus (name)#From Rus' to Russia or somewhere similar, as current illustrative material relating to the terminological discussion there - but, if used that way, it probably needs to be rewritten to avoid its current use of implicit |SCAREQUOTES and balanced by similar material relating to other naming choices for Kievan Rus

Comment: If Old Russian state is a propaganda term, then it merits an article separate from Kievan Rus'.  If it's just another name for Kievan Rus', it should be a redirect.  The OP states that its  to say its propaganda.  It's true that the Russian sources don't state it's propaganda, but they wouldn't even if it were.  In the end, it's not up to us to reason about it being propaganda or not; we need a reliable secondary source.  Without that, it's probably better turned into a redirect
