At the end of this month :)
You said Epithemeus instead of Epimetheus. Thanks for the video!
Hi Griff,
Since you said that all corrections should be posted underneath the above comment, I thought this would be the appropriate place to point out that there were two separate revolutions in 1917. Your use of language implied a singular revolution. I imagine this was a mere oversight on your part, but one that should be corrected.
My dude you used Luxembourg’s flag instead of the Dutch one.
I really want Coolio Armchair Historian mug;☕ where can get one?
fun fact: St Petersburg was designed to be like Amsterdam as it's also built on a lot of little islands
Caped Crusader I didn't say it was called Amsterdam I said it was designed like it because Peter the great loved Amsterdam so much
Caped Crusader Lübeck was called the Venice of the North in the hanseatic league days...

The connection with the Byzantine empire comes from Ivan III, who married the daughter of the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI. The double-headed eagle was brought to Moscow when Constantinople fell (at least according to tradition), where it became the symbol of the Russian empire and later of the Romanovs. Also, Russia kept the flame burning for Orthodox Christianity in that part of the world during the period of Mongol domination. That's why some consider Moscow the third Rome.
True. After Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire fell, Russia stayed the last bastion of Eastern Christianity in Europe.
Moscow IS!!!!! the 3rd Rome.
help from english muscovy company from 1555y, financing of the war expeditions of Ivan 4 the terrible, that was the start of russian empire real expansion
@simp hunter Thanks for the correction.
Important world history that is still influencing events up to this day:
Moscow as 3rd Rome is how

As radio host & white supremacist, Rush Limbaugh would say, "Go Figure?"
"Today Russia is one of the largest countries on earth."
I'm pretty sure it's actually the largest country on earth, followed by Canada.
Russia is largest, followed by Canada, then the US, the People's Republic of China (there are technically two Chinas), and surprisingly enough up next is Brazil.
The word "large" can refer to the population of the country, not the territory.
@@NobleS1236 No CHINA is bigger than U.S
Fun fact, Russia is almost double the size of Canada
I think you all are reading this wrong, he/she's saying that Russia is the DEFINITE largest nation
Awesome video-was fun collaborating with you on this video! Love your animations as always!
Pleasure working with you man!

Epimetheus seems like a really good guy -- he didn't mind Griff butchering his nickname. Twice.
Great video, Sorry ACH fucked up your name though. Wasn't even close mate, hard to see how that could happen. Makes it seem like you did not work together.
I am half Greek though, so maybe that is why that seems so cringy to me. Everybody expects people to be able to pronounce words in your language when it seems simple. Epi-meth-eus. Isn't that the same in English?
Excellent video, you two! But in my view you dodged a bullet by starting the history of Russia with the Moscovite kingdom and not from the ancient kingdom of Rus... In my view, the period between the fall of Rus' and the rise of Moscow was the most interesting (and controversial) period because I never quite understood how three separate peoples (Russians, Ukrainians and white Russian) came to occupy the lands that used to be Rus and how all three of them claim to be culturally descended from Rus.
Пётр Великий сам работал на верфи в Амстердаме, чтоб знать, как строить корабли вплоть до гвоздя... Не каждый монарх во всей истории мира не был таким простым и одновременно великим, как Пётр I.
Your map in 1:15 is wrong. Finland, Karelia or the Kola peninsula and the russian coast around the white sea where never controlled by the mongols. The republic of Novgorod wasn't controlled by the Mongols until the 1270s and even then, their control over Novgorod lasted until the 1290s so about 20 years.

@Polish Hero Witold Pilecki lol, no one in Russia takes this holiday seriously, it was introduced recently only to prevent people from celebrating the anniversary of the October revolution.
The Russian Empire was in terminal decline by the beginning of the 19th century? I think you're jumping the gun a bit there. They marched all the way to Paris as part of the coalition defeating Napoleon, aside from the Crimean War stomped the Turks repeatedly, expanded deeper into Central Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, and humiliated the Chinese at every opportunity. Sure, this was beginning to crack by the end of the 19th century and of course after the disaster of the Russo-Japanese War, but for the most part, Russia had a fairly successful 19th century.
Its downfall started after catherine the greats death
Нет это была акупацыя немецких царских мразей,которые убивали русский народ 300 лет миллионами,последние лет 200 была война против руссофобской царской династии , лишь 1917 удалось задушить этих сук.
Мать моей бабушки умирала с голоду при немецких суках Романовых .
The Russian empire's 2 main problems where the need for industrialization and the fear they caused after the Napoleonic wars, After france was contained, Russia became the next target on the curb list, After not even Napoleon himself could stop Russia, Europe realized that sooner or later the enormous Russian empire utalizing it's wast resources and inexhaustable manpower will overrun all of Europe, this has led to the political isolation of Russia and the Crimean war where almost all of the other great powers ganged up on Russia, while Austria a supposed ally abandoned the tzar in the time of need.
The Russians during the 19th centure were forced by the other greatpowers to make concession after concession, They were made stop at Iran and Afganistan by British pressure, they were forced to sell Alaska again by British naval supremacy, They estabilished a Large Bulgarian Ally in the Balkans during one of the wars against Turkey, but Germany forced them to make concessions wich lead to the Balkan wars and Bulgaria abandoning Russia as an allyl, They were cicked right in the loin at Crimea because France and Britain did not want Russia to finish off the Ottomans.
The Russian empire had it's economy develop at a rapid pace during this time, and during the 1st world war, they almost completely Broke trough Austrian defenses and forced the Germans to stop their all out attack against France.
The Soviets merely finished what the Empire had already started, and part of the Reason Hittler decided to invade the USSR in 1941, was because that theoretical point of no return in terms of Russian domination over europe was rapidly aproaching, and indeed Russia did overrun basicly the entire army and economy of continental Europe. (the combined might of Germany, her allies, her puppets, and occupied collaboration goverments were not enough)
If the Western allies did not land in normandy in 1944 all of mainland europe would have fallen to the Soviets.

Ivan the Terrible's name is a bit of a misnomer
In Russian his name is Ivan Grozny. Grozny is a uniquely russian word that cannot be translated to any single english word, but the most fitting one would be "formidable"
Ivan the Formidable
thunderous наверное, или feared as thunder
Yeah, there’s no good way to translate this to English. Grozniy evokes thunder (groza) and threat (ugroza).
“Ivan the one who is as threatening as thunder.”
Terrible means to bring terror. It's an old meaning
Isn’t Gronzy a city?
Ivan the fearsome might also work grozyn the capital of Chechnya to

How did Russia become an Empire?
Answer- Empire stuff
Stuff n' thangs.

Yeeees. Peter the Great just said: “Damn it, I want to be the emperor”
And then he did.
Spoiler alert, come on
Today I find out that Russia lost the war to Napoleon. Time for amazing stories
Russia lost the war to Napoleon so horribly, that Russian troops have reached Paris.
Lost,yes. *But also came back*

"the russian flag is based on the dutch flag"
Uses flag of Luxembourg.
Actually a former dutch flag looked like that.
The Dutch flag was originally orange I thought
The great luxembourger empire.
There has never been a state called Moscovy. It's a purely western nickname. It was the Great Dutchy of Moscow that rose in power after the decline of Rus. Moscow re-united the Russian lands became the Tsardom of Russia and then the Russian Empire.
One of the best history TH-cam channels ever, keep up the awesome work
Thanks David!
Griff
Agreed 💯 👌🏾😁
THE best! Love this channel.
If only Peter used Quality Ideas instead...
Its really good actually since your base Ideas already give you a bunch of extra manpower with quality your massive army actually has power to it.
When you are Russia, you pick Quantity and Aristocratic, afterall, who needs quality if you can just throw a 200k deathstack on the enemies 20k xD
I love using Quality to (obviously) increase the quality. The Russian traditions complements the Quality by providing a large pool of reserves. Just my preference. :)
defensive + offensive + quality + aristocratic (because why not +1 generals) + russian fire ideas + improved backrow from late game = the best army by faaaaar, 4 prussian space marines cannot do anything against 3287567238 super artillery armies
Quantity my friend, quantity 👍
Just gonna casually miss out Polish Intervention in the period of change of dynasties from Rurik to Romanov and and forget about Swedes taking a bite out of Novgorodian territories (which is what Peter The Great aimed to reclaim in the Northern War)....
But otherwise, great video!
Possibly, if the Polish king wasn't too stubborn and greedy, he might have introduced a completely different dynasty than Romanovs on the throne, as the Russian elites seemed to be OK with the son of Sigismund III Wasa, if he converted to orthodox Christianity. But for deeply catholic Wasa who wanted the power for himself it was too much.
Were he more open minded, he might have raised his children in various 'branches' of Christianity and have Wasa dynasty reign over Russia, PLC and Sweden. Possibly even unifying those under single monarch some time later, and creating a huge superpower. Sweden, PLC and Russia were all countries of great potential at the time.
@Polish Hero Witold Pilecki Not July 4?
Master Ace ikr, but like, I guess this is a video really just to simplify the Russian history, not to go into details, really a very very simplified video covering more than 800 years

This is a fine piece of work...I really appreciate the effort it takes. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Amazing video! Love your collaborations.
Thanks man! Make sure you give Epimetheus a subscription!
When they are coming to Peter the Great, Russia suddenly expands to the Pacific ocean, that is not correct, as it happened earlier before his reign, in 1640-s Russians already reach Amur river, today border with China.
That's western education. They study history centered mostly on Europe. They know only four persons of Russian history: Ivan IV because he was cruel in western mythology, Peter I because he liked the west, Catherine II because she liked the west and was German and Stalin because he was cruel in western mythology aswell. European countries did not know what was happening in central and north Euroasia till 19 century. They even marked half of Euroasia on the maps as "Grand Tartaria". And now most of modern western people think that half of Euroasia was conquered by Russia because it was... Empty...
Damn these videos are good, I’m so happy to see this channel grow. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Jordi, I appreciate it.
Griff
3:53 Most of today's Russian territory was already gained in the XVI and XVII Century, in the Siberian expansion. This makes me think that the information for this video was poorly searched.
Rafael Melo yes, that’s correct. That’s why he’s showing that at the turn of the 18th century, that’s the extent of it
Make your own video on it then
3:15 Dance of the Flowers and Peter the Great. Very cool combo!
Could you do the Habsburg Monarchy next please?
We are doing German history in September, but more focused on Prussia. Maybe in the coming months we'll fit in some time for Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Griff
Okay
It was pretty much a family that created an artificial empire by taking advantage of the weakness in the Holy Roman Empire.
How so? The HRE existed before the Habsburgs became near hereditary HREmperors and they had what could be considered an empire 100 years before they officially renamed their land the Austrian Empire.

Austrian has Duchy exists you know.
I think I got interested in your channel through Crimean War or Prussian history video. So nice call back.
We'll actually be remaking the Prussian video in September!

russia is the few remaining empires of the past that still survives today. It has the territory, military and capital of an empire. Its amazing that the broken principalities of kievan rus who paid tribute to the mongols, were considered heatens by rome and barbarians by byzantin managed to create a huge empire and actually keep it, unlike others.
Russia 🇷🇺 is a beautiful countrie with a great people. History could of been better too Russia 🇷🇺. Russia is different 🤔? empire , Republic ,militarily strong.
Hey man I love your content! From one history nerd to another keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Michael!

Brilliant video! Very informative
Feels like you skimmed over the quite brutal ending of the last ruling dynasty of said empire, feels like you glossed over the brutal butchery of the Romanovs, they deserve to be remembered.
The Russian Period music in the background is gorgeous tho
Always amazing vids, thank you
I watch your every video, I absolutely love your content. Awesome animations! :)
Keep up the good work!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

Also you should make a Great Northern War video
Extra Credits already has a great series on that war. Instead, we're thinking of just covering the Swedish Empire.
Griff
@Edward Everheart No...
@The Armchair Historian 👌
@@TheArmchairHistorian I have done some of Swedish history myself. If you like I can do the groundwork for the video
I'll give you the short version; it all ends at Poltava :)
Waitaminute.. i was hoping to find out how Russia conquered such a vast territory to the East, but at 3:48 this is explained away by essentially saying 'Peter did Great things' and coloring in the rest of the map. WTF?
There were very little peoples in the east so it was like colonizing they continued to hire cossacks to move east. And they had very little resistance due to most natives being...arrow fighting natives against muskets. Look up the russian conquest of siberia on wiki for more.
@@legendarylimits564 Still, Siberian khanates were civliised people with armies, walled cities and gunpowder arty. Compare it to bronge age level techs of native americans. The main reason why Russia annexed Siberia so quickly is because they all were parts of ex Mongol empire, they knew each other's culture and language. Ivan the terrible among other titles had title of "White Tsar". That was a title of emperor of the Golden horde. So nothing strange that many parts of ex empire joined Russia.
Fedor Evdokimenko really? Siberian khanates were mostly Turkic, how could they have similar culture and language to Russian? Slavs were just paying taxes to invaders, the mongols couldn't greatly influence their culture.
@@sxbcdbfxs7069 Of course they had different culture. I mean they all were parts of Mongol empire for 250 years. Russian rulers usually visited Golden Horde's capital. Ivan IV had blood ties with Khan Mamai. So Russian nobles have very small Mongolian blood and cultural influence, but they knew turkic culture and traditions and how to deal with ex Mongolian parts.
The only viewer with critical thinking. How Russia became an empire? In one word: by (enormous) bloodshed. Paired with cheating, deception, manipulation, intimidation - all of the things that one can still watch nowadays.
Iv been looking forward to this after spotting your stream, great informative video especially for I who would love to learn more Russian history. Keep it up!
Thanks man, and thanks for joining the stream!

Hello dude I am from México i discover your channel a few days ago , and is a very good chanel keep the good work men. I really like your war stories videos.
0:38 it's the largest...
Thanks for the collab Epithemeus
Your super cheeky ''brilliant'' ads are actually brilliant
This is an excellent video in nearly every respect, but I have but three (mostly minor) detractions. Firstly, In the Crimean War there were substantially more French and Turkish troops engaged than British troops. Secondly (minor detail) the Swedish Army maintained the use of Pikes, typically in a 2/3 shot to 1/3 pike ratio, and both made substantial use of Heavy Cavalry. Thirdly (minor as it's a ten minute video) a general lack of detail regarding later reforms and industrialization, such as the gradualist approach to abolishing serfdom, and the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway (among engineering feats)
Sincerely, Ben Skorupka
Thanks! Good criticisms. To be entirely honest, the mistakethe Crimean War was because we just didn't have the artwork for Turkish and French soldiers, our artist is on vacation!
The Swedish Army composition was a mistake that I didn't realize until you pointed it out (even though we did a video on pikes and line formations haha.)
We do mention the abolition of serfdom, but we didn't fit in details like the Trans-Siberian Railway. That was less of a mistake, and more of us just running out of time; the video was initially intended to be just six minutes long.
Best,
Griff
Thanks! o7 I think I remember that being an issue in the Animating stream, As for the video time, I think it accounts for most of this. Considering I've seen far worse documentaries made with bigger budgets and several years, the problems listed are largely minor inconveniences! ;)

Great video, but you talked really briefly on the eastern expension, you could have explained it more
Good critique, that's something I feel like we were kind of missing as well in hindsight.
Griff
Yeah this felt like more a historical overview of Russia before the revolution rather than the title of how Russia became an empire.
Enjoyed it though!
@@TheArmchairHistorian This is actually ridiculous! You claim to be historian even with critical thinking and you promised to tell how Russia became an empire yet you didn't tell that and now you say you feel it is what you are missing! Man You must be kidding ! I wonder if you are Russian and whether you studied history in Russia? What you presented here really sounds like a bit adjusted history narrative that we were fed back in the USSR. They basically present it this way in our days Russia
That is the Luxembourg flag @3:38 . The Dutch flag has a darker than of blue.

“Ivan Ivanovich” why is this the most Russian name ever
Ivan ivanovich Ivanov. Иван Иванович Иванов
@no name John Johnson
I do not know Russian. Yet I have heard that the translation of terrible is incorrect.
Terrible in this case would mean awe-inspiring or fear-inducing yes?
Can any Russian help me here?
Not Russian, but I've heard the same.
What do you need
What you wou translate Grosny to? The name given to Ivan IV by the Russians.
The name literally means something like "tunderstormly" what means something that may be very dangerous when it acts. The word can be used to describe an army, dark cloud or even walls of a city. Buy the way, the name of the capital of Chechnya is also Grozny.
Lars Peter Kastrup Грозный?

There has never been such a state as "Muscovy", there has been the Principality of Moscow.
Catherine the great also had a massive role in smallpox vaccinations in Russia, allowing her vaccination to take place on a stage in the middle of the city for all to see, which is why Russia was relatively spared from the massive smallpox epidemics of the time.

Could you do a vid about a part of Australian war history, maybe the battle of Gallipoli, Light horse charge at Beersheba, or maybe something modern like the battle of Long Tan. I have a feeling you will find the Battle of Beersheba aka “the last successful cavalry charge in history” quite interesting

We were considering doing a history of communism, or the Soviet Union. Our 1900's videos don't do as well as our 1800's videos though, so we'll be putting that on hold.

Russia lost the war to Napoleon so horribly, that Russian troops have reached Paris

Thank you Cannibal!
Catherine the greats and her husbands german origin should have been mentioned, as it is another factor integrating russia into europe and shows the very different approaches of western/ central european aristocrats towards russia (the husband despising russians, while catherine embracing them) and the shift in their relations with prussia from bitter enemy to ally for quite some time, plus the german settlers catherine got to come to russia (wolga germans), showing again how russia became more and more integrated into europe
Sorry if i'm being too critic. There is a part in the video where you talk about the wages workers get and you convert the number to todays currency. Isn't it more interessting to say what they could buy with that amount of income? Instead of converting to todays currency?
And I suppose when you suggest putting wages in terms of buying power, you mean buying power within Russia.
Yeah, I doubt the number was adjusted for inflation. I just came across this channel but I definitely won't be sticking around...
Frockz why? Because of one mistake? You see like the type of person to buy a new car every time it runs out of gas.
3:50 I'll take all this thank you very much
Nice vid
Wait, how did Russia get so big? You just kinda glossed over that.
We colonized Siberia because of weak turkic states there
A better answer is:
Russia took many of the Mongol systems for governing and conquering large territories
Russian rulers were familiar with the ways of Turkic and Mongol Khanates in Siberia from past experiences they knew exactly how to force them to submit
Russian Tzars had blood ties with khans, and held the title for "khan" or tzar of Siberia giving them legitemacy
Thus many of the mongolian/Turkic khanates did not view Russia as a completely foreign conqeror but an incarnation of the old Mongolian Empire under new leadership (of course this was BEFORE the westernizing reforms of Peter)
In addition Russians imposed a tax system on their peasants wich favored peasents living out in the borderlands, thus massive waves of Russian peasents searching for a better life leaved the Heartland to the various border regions of Russia, populating re populating and assimilating most of Siberia
@@sosig6445 You forgot one key word: Cossacks.
This is like WAY too short version of Russian history...since it really stats in like in 800AD and not only Ivan, Peter and Catherine did something.
Several western countries prefer to start Russian history from Moscow.

Ivan the fourth's nickname "the terrible" doesn't actually translate into "terrible" with the way we say it in english. I am pretty sure the term in russian is "grozny" which actually is a term to describe someone that is fearsome and irritable.

Haha definitely! 😄
All the history from west is based either on material approved by British foreign office during great game or western academia during cold war never ever a Russian or neutral book . I'm not saying Russian material should be used as substitute but some balance is necessary . You wouldn't like to read about ww1 German history from British source because of propaganda but Europeans who always hated Russia either because of crusades against orthodox Russia , hating them during great game or because of communism and cold war . Even ww2 history of west is literally approved and dictated by German generals who took refuge in commonwealth and USA . Take western history about Russia with a large pinch of salt. I'm an Indian who studied engineering in Russia Kazan . And modern nato propaganda on Russia is grotesque and cartoonist to say the least . Every tourist inrussia during world cup was completely taken aback by the difference in reality and their perception largely created by powerful western media who can sell wmd lie still will considered respectable.
You can but try to imagine how gruesomely distortes the official history is in regards to the Russia of 15th century.
Russia is a beautiful country.
You also need to know that showing only the best things to foreigners in order to deceive them is a kind of russian tradition. All the buildings that you and world cup visitors were amazed by are now either falling apart or drowning in mud. Better check some info about tortures in russian prisons or prison sentences for posting memes about ortodox church. Kazan might be a good place but try to move 20-30 kilometers away and see the difference
I dont mean that western media tells 100% truth about Russia. It's because they dont see the real picture, which is way worse)
