1) Bulgaria or Bolgaria?!
There was never a Volgaria!
So, where did the name Volga come from?
(Lake Balkhash – from the state of Balkh)
Volgaria was located in the area where the Kazan Khanate was later formed.
The word "khan" is a simplified form of "khaan," or more precisely, "kagan."
Princess Olga was initially a "konunginya," meaning "wife of a king."
Later, these words were forgotten, and a new word, "prince," appeared.
"Tati" or "Tatars" in Old Slavic meant "robbers" or "raiders."
(Hence the saying: an uninvited guest is worse than a "robber.")
Some linguists say "Kara-Kidan," others "Kara-Kitai."

And the English called the Chinese city of Guangzhou "Canton."
Therefore, let's not get bogged down in semantics.
I believe that the term "Volga Bulgaria" is redundant.
And to avoid confusion with that Bulgaria on the Danube (which supplied us with "Bulgartabak"),
I decided to use a name that is more familiar to us.
I played through the red campaign on the highest difficulty.
