  • Join the Cossack soldier Stepan as he tries to keep order in the battalion and help his people regain their independence.
    --
    The year is 1676, and a treaty has officially ended hostilities between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire. Despite a serene sunset on the Dnipro river, the mood is tense for the Zaporozhian Cossacks. Renowned as one of Europe’s most formidable military forces, they are in the midst of a power struggle. Alex Gendler outlines a day in the life of a Cossack soldier.

      Nice topics
      but advice :if you want more subscribers I recommend you using your own human voice, that will make your videos more attracting to viewers and seem more professional , the annoying translating computer voice really makes it exetremely avoidable, also work on your editing skills as a starter try to compose slideshows of the images of the different topics that you are discussing
      so work on your speech and voice tone and Don’t forget to spice it up with some humor witch is very important
      And I highly recommend you to watch other contents for more ideas
      Wish you the best and I hope that this will be beneficial

      1. No, they are not.
      2. In battle for khotyn against ottoman empire they were 50%(over 22 000 cossacks) of polish-lithunian commonwealth under the comand of UKRAINIAN hetman Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachnyi.
      3. How have they reinforced their ranks during various campains? Locals. Not only, but mostly.
      4. They were ortodoz christians. Not catholics, not muslim or anything else? Bcs befor cossachina/hetmanat there have been Rus, which had been empire with strong capital Kiev, but later it became divided into many city states. It led for fall befor mighty mongols (it had havr few benefits like prosperity and all, but...). So this state with capital Kiev, had been christianised by Voladymyr/Vladimir Rurikovich. He did so to unite the states under one religion and to create marrige alliance with Byzantin.
      4. Also, what was their language? Here is thing. We, ukrainians (not only we), understand old textes. From period of Rus, such as "Povist vremyanyh lit", written by Nestor Litolisyc, to "Duma" (poem about uniting), by Ivan Masepa ukrainian Hetman.
      I called just a few.
      In conclusion:
      - same culture with some mixture with iranic (which is ok, bcs ukraine was part of Hun empire, during civil war of Attila's sons on ukrainians land were located one of the capitals, i am not claiming Hun empire part of ukrainian nationality, just an interesng fact. Also there were scythians, samatians, kemerithians, rus and polovci, hetmanat, current state of Ukraine.
      Yes, cossacks were not only ukrainians, there were a lot of moskovites at that time (russians), tatars and a lot of another folks. As it was said. That was pretty much shelter for all kind of men. One irish guy once said, that Kryvonis (cossack) was irish. It can be so. I believe, i already have said it.
      - local reinforcment.
      - cossack starshyna had ruled over this land.
      - etc etc etc.
      It is only roof.

    Firstly - great video! Secondly, as a Pole I am really thankful for showing less known side of the cossack's history. It is most unfortunate that in Polish schools cossack's history is dominated mostly by the fact of their rebellions against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth rather then by showing the more accurate and objective version of the events. Saying this I need to apologize to my Ukrainian neighbors that the way we are thought this story is by general flattening of the source of the conflicts - which in a bigger shortcut occurred when cossacks disagreed with limits in number of so called "register cossacks" (cossacks which were being paid by the PLC and treated as a PLC's citizens) settled by the Sejm (or King I don't remember) and by the figure of Bohdan Chmielnicki and the death of the king Władysław Waza the 4th. Polish people also lack the knowledge of cossack origins (which were also not mentioned in this video) as the people who mostly fled from the 17th century feudal slavery which was present at the PLC Ukrainian's part of the Dominium, as well as the fact that Ruthenian people from this region were treated mostly as the citizens of 2nd category. It is definitely one of the most interesting and most overlooked part of Europe's history. Again great video!

      As a Ukrainian, I can say that in common perception now cossacks are seen more as a symbol of fighting against Moscow even though they lost :( As for their relationships with Poland everybody is like, yeah, things happened, but now we are friends. Basically, cossacks are a symbol of any fight against any enemy :)

      @@talesman7775 You do not know anything about this and you confused the Don Cossacks (appeared in the 16th century) with the Kuban Cossacks (appeared in the 18th century), as well as Elizabeth and Catherine 2. In Russia, in addition to them, there are also Terek (Caucasian) Cossacks, Astrakhan Cossacks, Volga Cossacks, Ural Cossacks, Siberian Cossacks, even Tatar Cossacks ( Mishari) etc. The most ancient:
      Khoper Cossacks - in the 13th century on the Khoper river (modern Penza and Saratov regions of Russia) there was a Cossack state Chervleny Yar, consisting mainly of brodniks (one of the ancient proto-Cossack tribes)
      Khlynov (Vyatka) Cossacks (appeared in the 12th century) are the descendants of Novgorod ushkuyniki (river robbers or pirates).
      Khlynov is ancient name of Kirov.
      Severskie Cossacks (or Sevryuki) - the descendants of the severyane (northerners), the ancient East Slavic tribe.
      Even Ural or so called Yaik Cossacks originate in the 14th century.
