No, it wasn't the Persians, as "Persian" wasn't even a thing during Proto-Indo-European times. It's similar to calling them "Russians" or "Germans" or "Swedes"
Aryan is a loaded term to the westerners. It's like saying Swastika is a loaded thing in the West. In the east millions of hindus/buddhists use swastika as a symbol of devotion to god/karmic cycle for 3000 years. Our marxists journals and marxist historians always write about aryan migration and etc. They themselves wrote in the ancient sanskrit that Northern India is Aryavarta , why should I change my history for a man living in other side of the world genociding jews.
Is it related to the Russian word земля?
apparently so, that's pretty cool.
on the other hand, Persian and my language use a lot of Russian loan-words too
can't believe Persians had so much influence in this world XD

Oh Aryans? I think these words were introduced by Aryan migration into India.
"Aryan" is kinda a loaded term, ever since a certain Austrian painter used it for his racial propaganda
