East Slavic Culture Conversion
==============================
- First wave of conversion in 867-967. Conversion of all tribal cultures into Ruthenian.
- Each tribal culture can be saved from assimilation into Ruthenian by this conditions:
* tribal duchy title still exist;
* tribal duchy title still controlled by a character with appropriate tribal culture (tribe of Ilvem Slavs by Ilmen Slav character, for example).
- If previous conditions are TRUE than capital province's culture converting back to tribal.
- If conditions are FALSE then tribal duchy title removes and all characters and provinces with this tribal culture converting into Ruthenian.
- Second wave of conversion in 1250-1400. Conversion of Ruthenian into Ukrainian (in de jure kingdom of Kiev or under control of ukrainian ruler), Russian (in de jure kingdom of Muscovy or under control of russian ruler) and Rusyn (in de jure duchis of Nyitra, Ungvar, Moldau and Transilvania or under control of rusyn ruler).
