What is the origins of the Russian people?
If you are looking for the actual origin of the Russian people you must look into the distant ravages of time. in the Bible we see a son of Japheth called Gomer. These people spread across Europe and Asia via the north, some to become Europeans, later the Gauls, some to become Muscovites, Cimmerians which were called Gog and Magog.
How was Babylon under the control of Nebuchadnezzar II?
Nebuchadnezzar was the oldest son and successor of Nabopolassar,who delivered Babylon from its three centuries of vassalage to its fellow Mesopotamian state, Assyria, and in alliance with the Medes, Persians, Scythians, and Cimmerians, laid Nineveh in ruins. According to Berossus, some years before he became king of Babylon, Babylonian dynasties were united. There are conflicting accounts of Nitocris of Babylon being either his wife or daughter. Nabopolassar was intent on annexing the western provinces of Syria (ancient Aram) from Necho II (whose own dynasty had been installed as vassals of Assyria, and who was still hoping to help restore Assyrian power), and to this end dispatched his son westward with a large army. In the ensuing Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC, the Egyptian andAssyrianarmy was defeated and driven back, and the region of Syria and Phoenicia were brought under the control of Babylon. Nabopolassar died in August that year, and Nebuchadnezzar returned to Babylon to ascend the throne. After the defeat of the Cimmerians and Scythians, previous allies in the defeat of Assyria, Nebuchadnezzar's expeditions were directed westward. The powerful Median empire lay to the north. Nebuchadnezzar's political marriage to Amytis of Media, the daughter of theMedianking, had ensured peace between the two empires.

He sieged Tyre (585-572 BC). After all of this, and another failed invasion of Egypt and successfully conquering Phonecia, he stopped warfare and focused on domestic improvements.
What does the name Gomer mean?
Although Gomer was originally a biblical name, it was never overly popular. Some Hebrew origins indicate it can mean "standing for the whole family." Further evidence of the origin related to "complete" is based on Gomer's traditional identification with the Cimmerians (Akkadian Gimirru, "complete." *Gomer is also the Spanish name for cimerios. Gomer was the eldest son of Japheth, and father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah mentioned in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible. Gomer's family settled near the Black Sea and actually initiated a tribe that became the Gomerites. Some of the Gomerites either remained in that area, and others went west as far as France, Spain and to the British Isles. The part of the tribe that returned to Asia Minor came to be known as the Galatians. Although there are some disputes that the form "Galatia" does not smoothly convert to "Gomer", a derivation is possible. One position is that the middle consonant of the word GoMeR can be substituted with a W or a U, thus G-M-R can convert to G-W-R, or G-U-R. Today, it tends to draw less than positive connotations regarding intellect and suggests a rural backwardsness. Given its noble etymology, this seems unfair.

Can someone please explain to me in a way that's easy to understand the history and mythology of the Cimmerians?
The Cimmerians themselves were partly mythological. According to many myths, they lived in a land of constant darkness that lied north and west of Greece. The REAL Cimmerians were a horse-riding nomadic people that inhabited the region that we know today as the Crimea. They most likely didn't have a religion of their own, borrowing from neighboring established populations like the Assyrians or the Babylonians.

The Cimmerians were believed to be pitied because they lived in a land of perpetual darkness and obscurity, possibly due to their location near the Black Sea. Their name has also been associated with a sense of gloom and despair in ancient literature, contributing to the perception of them as a challenged or unfortunate people.
