not to mention the French Quin the doughter of Jaroslav the Wise ruller of Keivan Rus, and the funny story of French kinds crowned using the Ortodox-slavic language bible(which was discovered by Peter the gread in trip to France).

Speaking of religion, there should be more resistance to conversion. in EU3 its very easy to convert a large number of provinces into your religion in a relatively small period of time which is rather unrealistic.... Poland-Lithuania's demise was largely caused by its attempt to force catholicism on the Cossacks, they made a huge rebellion and they were joined by Russia. Religion-driven friendships and enemities as well as alliances do exist in EU3 but it doesnt really serve the purpose it served in history, which was to protect religious minorities that follow the alliance's beliefs, what happens in EU3 is mostly conquest
Not true. Missionaires uppers the revolt risk, and may triger the zealots uprising.
And it is not true, the Cossak-Poland war, was much more about culture and abolishment of serfdom(via getting independance, in a serfdom-free state). Zaporozhye was never a subjet of Poland. In a sence, it was a Zaporozhye- Crimean attack on the Poland-Lituinia, that got wast support among the Poland-held territories populated by Ukrainians, and the Cossacs that were on Polish service.
The attack won the consession, but then, peace expired and P-L reconquested part of the land.
Oh, and Cossaks didn`t quite joined Russia, they were firs allies, and then gradually become less and less independent, to the point where Russia basically diploanexed them.
In the initial years of alliance, there was no intend to join Russia.
Although, it would be great if the same culture and religion population of enemy country could revolt to help you fight.

With "joined by Russia" I mean that they joined them in the war against Poland
I do realise that missionaries raise revolt risk but it doesnt feel enough... neighbours who believe in the same religion should interrupt or get something like a religious liberation CB
I dont know much about the subject but I thought Cossacks rebelled because Poland was giving cossack lands to polish princes and also forcing catholicism?

I do not think it is like that. Simple attempt to convert should at most triger revolt in the province.
The restrictions placed on the people of non-state religion, on the other hand should trigger the defender of faith ability to take actions.
Cossaks is a broad term. There were Cossaks serving the Polish king. There were Cossaks free, at Zaporozhye. Also the Cossacs of Don. It is just a name of a lifestyle, in a sence.
It was not a simple issue. People joined the War for various reasons, it was not just the religion, it aslo was due to a lot of cultural and religious restrictions, serfdom, and such, but the outcome(as per the peace treaty(or cease fire) ) of it was Independance of a part of Ukraine, under the Khmelnitskiy, who tried to futher facilitate the Ukrainian state, without serfdom and catolicism, so in a sence it was Reconquest by Zaporozhye, that formed Ukraine after the armnistire. There were a number of serfdom revolts in Poland before that, also.
The Poland-Ukraine issue is more complex than that, but here is not the place to discuss it.
True but i still think it is too difficult to convert to a different religion in EU3
