You wanna know why I LOVE this ship?
Cause, Russia's always been alone, so it's not like we're splitting him up from any other appropriate ship. Plus, it's historically correct.
Did you know that Russian ships used to just appear in Australian harbors, just as friends? British feared they'd invade, but they were honestly just passing through (sometimes for supplies). The two countries were really great friends OUO
So shipping those two is honest and historically O.K. Plus, Russia doesn't ship awesomely with anyone else :c A lot of other countries are scared of him, so the ships are like.. reluctant. So since Aussie and Rus are friends, it makes it lovely quq
I put a lot of work into studying RusxAus relations for this >.> So they're my OTP.
