The Swiss reply to the Germans prior to WW1 when asked what a quarter million Swiss militia would do if half a million Germans invaded. “Shoot twice and go home”. Not sure it is quite as epic as the entries on this list but still pretty badass. As always an excellent list and very enjoyable; thank you.

What further upsets me is that they say "as much as 10,000". That is WAY under what the real number is. I lived in China for an entire summer and met with people in villages and cities across China. Every single one knew about someone who died at Tiananmen Square. One woman had her entire family killed. EVERY SINGLE one. All her cousins, uncles, aunts, friends, siblings, and parents died. She was all that is left if her entire family. The reason she survived was because she was late to the protest that day. She lives in Hong Kong now and makes a point of spitting at soldiers every time she's on the mainland. China massively covered up the slaughter. I'll never forget the people I met during that time. Makes me very thankful for the freedoms I do have.
@@sadiemeyers6758 sadly that there are people here in the U.S. who are communist continue to claim that it never happened. Look at Simple History Tiananmen Square Massacre, and you find its comments is filled with those commie scumbags saying it. They are like neo nazis saying that the Holocaust never happened.
Doubt it. I am Chinese, lived there for several months. All my relatives are Chinese, and not only do they not know anyone effected, but were in denial that they e en happened. My grandparents were born around WWII and have this opinion. The massacre did happen but in my experience at least, this anecdote is not accurate.

interesting video. I had not heard of August Landmesser. One of my favorite "defiance" stories tells that after Denmark was invaded in WWII, the Nazis told the Danish government that they had to supply a list of all the Jews in Denmark. The next day (if I remember correctly), the entire population of Copenhagen (including the King of Denmark) rode bicycles through the streets while wearing star of David armbands, on the assumption that the Nazis couldn't very well arrest the entire population. Additionally, throughout the war, Danish fishermen would smuggle Jews from occupied Denmark to neutral Sweden.

Tank Man is undoubtedly one of the bravest men in history, most likely we will never know what happened but these are the examples that need to be followed and not what we are seeing today
Speaking of the ottoman empire spreading out to north Africa, they were never able to put a controlling hand on Morocco, after several attempts ending up in a big failure, staying at the limits of the Algerian western borders with Morocco strong established state at the time of Al Saadiyin, the ottoman sultan (the emperor) Suleiman sent a letter to the Moroccan king Mohamed Al Sheikh to pay obedience and allegiance to him, the Moroccan king response to the Turkish ambassador was..'' tell your king he'll get my answer not here but on the battlefield''. later In 1551 ottoman troops were beaten nd forced to withdraw till Algerian city of Telemsan nd further more inland.

Vinno 34 oh piss off, nobody “took” their oil. The arab monarchy takes the oil from their people. They are well compensated for the oil that EVERY nation purchases. Or do you not see the sickening wealth the saudi/iranian/venezuelean and other oil countries display? For god sakes, the Saudi royal family bought the 450million dollar da vinci... So, explain to me how we stole their oil? Where is all this free oil at? The middle east could be a flourishing nation if they let go of their archaic religious beliefs and deployed a democracy where people could flourish. Instead they wage jihad against the west because they do not want to stop the hating and the raping and the murdering. We should have dealt with them at the same time as korea, ten nukes...then we could have actually taken their oil. You act as though the middle east was not the most imperialistic and violent society for centuries, taking over countries, enslaving millions. Do people really not read history? Do they think countries just formed because one guy drew some maps? Read a book you leper rapist
I myself have participated in a bloody war which lasted for years . I say it about myself not any one else that if I was a brave man , I didn't remain alive to write these words . There are many such brave individuals and unknown ones that although have gone today with their story , but what they did affected our life for ever.
A book to read is titled 'My Story' by the Captain of the Pueblo. Its yold from his point of view about the capture and internment by NK. Reagan was the only US official to welcome him on the tarmac upon his return from captivity.

That is not the reply the Spartans used, nor was it is what Philip of Macedonia sent them. King Philip: "if I win this war, you will all be slaves" Spartans: "if"
Who knows maybe Landmesser went missing in Croatia because he was trying to escape the war and get info about his family. From this video he definitely was family bound and would do anything for them.
I think you're right, Joseph. Some of those stories were unnecessarily lengthy and wandered quite a bit. I would have preferred seeing two or three more examples in the time this took. Hey, there's no rule that it has to be only five. Oops! I kinda compulsively followed that "rule" in one of my own videos! But it was because I could only think of four really good examples. There are plenty of examples of courageous defiance. A great video poster, Steve Shives, does "5 things" videos, but always ends them with, "The problem is coming up with only five."
What about the Buddhist monk that set himself on fire in the middle of a busy intersection, in protest to the persecution of his fellow monks. He literally remained praying until he died.
Not mentioned, the real reason for the "Hawaiian Good Luck sign" was to convey that they were actually being treated poorly. They were forced to say on camera how well they were treated. Time Magazine was the publication that ratted them out.
chris00nj I seem to remember an article that stated one of them blinked in Morse code that they were being mistreated. Or was that in connection to Hanoi Jane?
The tank man was probably the most inspiring man of the 20th century, but the tank commander who refused to run him down was also a hero. I wonder what became of him.
Read the story of the White Rose, specifically Sophie Scholl. A teenager who distributed anti-war leaflets in early 1940s alongside her brother Hans. They were both executed by guillotine she aged 22, he aged 25.
the unknown rebel stopping a colum of tanks is by far one of the most badass move there is, the guts on thus guy.. jesus , armed with grocery bags... he probably died at the hands of his torturers...
August landmasser The story of one man diffience brought tears to my eyes.I was hoping his wife and family got away,But sadly like thousands of others would perish in those terrible times of human suffering.So so sad
I feel the actions of Brig. Gen. McAuliffe, acting commander of the 101st battalion, deserve a mention. At the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, at Siege of Bastogne the Nazis demanded that he surrender. Given that his unit was woefully undersupplied and outnumbered 5 to 1, surrendering probably would have seemed a sensible thing to do. But instead, McAuliffe gave the infamous one word reply: NUTS!
My father was stationed on the USS Belmont, GER 4, the sister ship to the USS Pueblo. In January of 1968, the Belmont had to go into dry dock due to major technical problems that kept her from going on her originally assigned mission of monitoring Russian submarine activities in the straights of Korea... After the overhaul work was completed, she was stationed in the Indian Ocean for a few months (just in case something happened). Thank God for technical difficulties...
25:57, This is the exact kind of scenario the 2nd Amendment here in the US is designed to prevent, and why it's imperative that civilians must be able to match the firepower of their government. Communism/socialism is gaining way too much ground here in the US, and a scenario like this could easily be in America's future if anti-gun groups get their way. Also, the Declaration of Independence, or the Boston Tea Party, should have been on this list. Every signer of the Declaration of Independence was wanted for treason by King George III, the most powerful man in the world at the time. John Hancock was ESPECIALLY defiant, as he knew the king had poor eyesight, and he intentionally signed his name so large that when asked about it, he said he wanted to make sure the king could read his name without having to put on his glasses. That is a serious act of defiance. You're already signing your death warrant, but you take it another step further by making sure your name is so big that the king will understand you are mocking his poor eyesight, insinuating he's just as flawed as and equal to any peasant under his rule. Dude must've walked bow-legged with balls that big.
Goattacular wow! That is truly admirable. Major respect. I’ve personally seen John Hancock’s large signature too, on the Declaration of Independence and/or US Constitution when I visited the National Archives in Washington DC. Blew my fucking mind!!!! I had no idea we STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS!! They’re preserved in argon gas-filled display cases in quite a dim room, no flash photography allowed, and guarded by some serious looking guards. I stood there much longer than anyone else, utterly stunned that I was within 18” of the ACTUAL documents that created this country in one of mankind’s greatest and most successful acts of defiance. There were quite a few other visitors when I was there, including my family. But I feel like I was the only one in the room able to truly appreciate the significance of what these documents meant. These men signed their own death warrants in the eyes of the British who greatly outnumbered them. Somehow, their passion and dedication to Liberty and Freedom helped them defeat the British and allow the United States of America to exist as this new country which still exists today 250 yrs later, as now the world’s most powerful, most economically successful, and most admired nation on the planet. Truly unbelievable. As a kid reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and being forced to study and memorize so many parts of US History, none of that meant anything to me. It wasn’t until I was 18-20 that o began to understand and it dawned on me “holy fuck.. that was one of the most defiant, most brave, most badass moves in all of mankind’s history! Incredible respect to these men!”
Boudica definitely deserves a mention. Long story short, she was the queen of the Iceni Celts in 60 AD, and when her husband the king died, the Roman Empire invaded and annexed her kingdom. Boudica was flogged publicly, stripped of her title as queen, and her daughters (the rightful heirs to their father’s throne) were gangr+ped by Roman soldiers. Infuriated, Boudica united the Celtic tribes in a hostile revolt against the Romans, attacking and destroying the Roman-controlled cities of Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London), and Verulamium. Her army drove back the Romans using scorched earth tactics, leaving nothing left for them to reclaim, and took the lives of tens of thousands of Roman soldiers. (~80,000 died on both sides) Despite greatly outnumbering her opponent, she was finally defeated and killed when her army faced down that of Suetonius in the British Midlands, largely as a result of Suetonius holding an easily defended position which could not be flanked due to the terrain. Despite failing to drive the Romans out of Britain entirely, her ferocious and merciless attacks on Roman forces did cause Emperor Nero to initially plan a retreat by withdrawing Roman forces from the British Isles. She was quoted as saying: "'But now,' she said, 'it is not as a woman descended from noble ancestry, but as one of the people that I am avenging lost freedom, my scourged body, the outraged chastity of my daughters. Roman lust has gone so far that not our very persons, nor even age or virginity, are left unpolluted. But heaven is on the side of a righteous vengeance; a legion which dared to fight has perished; the rest are hiding themselves in their camp, or are thinking anxiously of flight. They will not sustain even the din and the shout of so many thousands, much less our charge and our blows. If you weigh well the strength of the armies, and the causes of the war, you will see that in this battle you must conquer or die. *This is a woman's resolve; as for men, they may live and be slaves.* “
There was a POW camp at Naoetsu, in Niigata Prefecture, in Western Japan, where six hundred men were made to labour as slaves in a chemical factory and Steel Mill. A film called "Unbroken" about an American Airman called Zamperini, doesn't really convey the gruelling hardship endured bu the men. It just doesnt reflect what happened. My father was one of a few officers in the Camp, designated as (the) "Bunny" for his role in distracting the guards to a different part of the camp, when a secret diary had to be updated by the CO and Doctor. On Australia Day 1944, a Guard called a parade, and made a speech about how the Australian prisoners were....inferior to the Japanese. He ordered my father to lick his boots, which would have been filthy with all kinds of stuff. My father declined the invitation, apparently with politeness, so the Guard picked up a Pick Handle, and smashed his face in. I think it must have been difficult for the Doctor to help him survive. Eight of the guards from that one camp were hanged, after the War, and that was quite extraordinary, compared with the Nazi's at Nuremburg. The story of that camp was suppressed, until recent years.
You forgot "I have not yet begun to fight!" said against the British Empire in the American Revolution when it seemed clear that the cause was lost and a certain captain's ship was about to sink - and so the English captain demanded that he yield.
I live in Kyiv. The Cossacks are still around. They have huts that look Mongolian and call them yurts, same as Mongolians. The still saddle their horses like the Mongolians, too. During EuroMaidan, it was the Cossacks that stormed the occupied government buildings and killed the Russian snipers on the rooftops. I know this because I interviewed one of the leaders 3 days later. I was photographing propaganda on poles and walls to refute those who claimed Nazis were fighting there (there were none.) He saw me and asked me if I was a Russian spy. A long conversation followed. He looked exactly like the men shown here: long white mustache and beard. Cossacks are no joke.

Instead they wage jihad against the west because they do not want to stop the hating and the raping and the murdering. We should have dealt with them at the same time as korea, ten nukes...then we could have actually taken their oil. You act as though the middle east was not the most imperialistic and violent society for centuries, taking over countries, enslaving millions. Do people really not read history? Do they think countries just formed because one guy drew some maps? Read a book you leper rapist
Your mistake is thinking that you could. Your ancestors did not precisely because they could not.
I myself have participated in a bloody war which lasted for years . I say it about myself not any one else that if I was a brave man , I didn't remain alive to write these words . There are many such brave individuals and unknown ones that although have gone today with their story , but what they did affected our life for ever.
If the first story is proof of anything it's NO SNITCHING
Hell yes!!!!! Don’t ever give up!!!!! We will NEVER forget
The 2 half-jewish daughters survived
the silver lining
@@xemptx the silver lining of shit
That was a sad story
Really that's good
@@aldini9329 fuck off
Such a calm voice. Nice to hear
I'd bet that "Tank Man" died that day, and I would bet the tank driver also got into deep trouble.
A book to read is titled 'My Story' by the Captain of the Pueblo. Its yold from his point of view about the capture and internment by NK. Reagan was the only US official to welcome him on the tarmac upon his return from captivity.

One incredible defiant act was when I married my wife..
Omg lol
What were you defying?
@@VideoDeadGaming its a joke.
@@28ebdh3udnav no it's not.. you see I was so nervous and frightened cus I don't like big crowds.. but I conquered my fears and we are still happily married (hopefully for years and years to come...)
@@VideoDeadGaming and to answer your question.. I was defying "all the odds" 😊
My act of defiance were when mom told me to brush my teeth and go to sleep yet I did not brush them
What a rebel!
@@nostalgiakid4563 Damnit you took my reply! Literally. 😬
@@mariacupo4937 Oh I am sorry!😅
This 1 time when i used to be a scoundrel i wore the same socks 2 DAYS. My mom never found out.
So what do ya want a fucking cookie? You badass, next you'll tell me you didnt wipe your as you damn rebel.
Bro I just wanted to say you do an awesome job with the videos. 🤙🏼
That is not the reply the Spartans used, nor was it is what Philip of Macedonia sent them.
King Philip: "if I win this war, you will all be slaves"
Spartans: "if"
Best history lesson EVER. I could listen to you for days.
"If"
God damn. Just..... god damn.
Who knows maybe Landmesser went missing in Croatia because he was trying to escape the war and get info about his family. From this video he definitely was family bound and would do anything for them.
Definitely one if not the best channel out there
Was just watching old videos.....and then I see a new one posted. Just made my day and happy Friday.
Happy Friday on you too!
I think you're right, Joseph. Some of those stories were unnecessarily lengthy and wandered quite a bit. I would have preferred seeing two or three more examples in the time this took. Hey, there's no rule that it has to be only five.
Oops! I kinda compulsively followed that "rule" in one of my own videos! But it was because I could only think of four really good examples. There are plenty of examples of courageous defiance. A great video poster, Steve Shives, does "5 things" videos, but always ends them with, "The problem is coming up with only five."
What about the Buddhist monk that set himself on fire in the middle of a busy intersection, in protest to the persecution of his fellow monks. He literally remained praying until he died.
I would say that it was an act of protest and not really an act of defiance. That being said, it was an epic act of protest.
An act of stupidity is more accurate.
I remember seeing that on the news. And he stayed praying, seated like that, until he couldn't pray out loud.
@@BlackAngus69 He was trying to save the lives of hundreds or thousands of fellow Buddhists held prisoner by the Republic of [South] Vietnam.
There were around 3 or more others after him
Good work man, love how deep you go
Could u do a video about 5 famous traitors ex: judas, brutus, benedict arnold, micah bell...
He already did, but he focused on lesser known ones
Real history is better
MICAH!! I'm coming for u!
Judas was a Hero, not a traitor, without Judas there would be no Christianity.
Flying Dog Judas Iscariot is eternally chewed upon by one of the three mouths of Satan himself. If he's a hero, he isn't treated as such.
General McAuliff's reply to the Nazi demand for unconditional surrender. In true Spartan style, his reply was a single word. "Nuts."
Not mentioned, the real reason for the "Hawaiian Good Luck sign" was to convey that they were actually being treated poorly. They were forced to say on camera how well they were treated. Time Magazine was the publication that ratted them out.
chris00nj I seem to remember an article that stated one of them blinked in Morse code that they were being mistreated. Or was that in connection to Hanoi Jane?
Even though the ww2 story is horribly sad I did love the fact that he wouldn't forsake his wife and children. That's true love if I ever heard it.
The Russian spy laughing before being shot in Finland, Rukajärvi is pretty iconic.
The Cossacks' letter was rather... IN-SULTAN!
Wah wah!
*grabs revolver*
This video being released made my day
I got soo happy when I saw you uploaded a new video. Love your channel!
The tank man was probably the most inspiring man of the 20th century, but the tank commander who refused to run him down was also a hero. I wonder what became of him.
Read the story of the White Rose, specifically Sophie Scholl. A teenager who distributed anti-war leaflets in early 1940s alongside her brother Hans. They were both executed by guillotine she aged 22, he aged 25.
A surveillance ship didn't know that a crisis was going on involving the nation they were spying on. Awesome.
Your ignorance is astounding
the unknown rebel stopping a colum of tanks is by far one of the most badass move there is, the guts on thus guy.. jesus , armed with grocery bags... he probably died at the hands of his torturers...
August landmasser The story of one man diffience brought tears to my eyes.I was hoping his wife and family got away,But sadly like thousands of others would perish in those terrible times of human suffering.So so sad
Roger Steppens apparently his two daughters survived.
You forgot about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
a spartan to his mother when claiming his sword is to short the mother reply's then take a step forward.
Instead of yo mama you may wanna try that with "spartan girlfriend said" and then he said..
Amazing, the courage of some people!
Good information
Thanks
The Cossacks are legends, dropping diss tracks wayyy before their time
I feel the actions of Brig. Gen. McAuliffe, acting commander of the 101st battalion, deserve a mention. At the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, at Siege of Bastogne the Nazis demanded that he surrender. Given that his unit was woefully undersupplied and outnumbered 5 to 1, surrendering probably would have seemed a sensible thing to do. But instead, McAuliffe gave the infamous one word reply: NUTS!
That Tianmen Square image... WOW!!!! Maybe we DO have a chance, after all.
Absolutely love your work! Please never stop doing these incredible videos & being awesome ! :D
One of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen, thankyou.
I really enjoy your videos , man ..
Always very interesting and well written ..
Thanks for making these for us ..
Appreciate yah ..!
I enjoy each and every video you put out! 😁
Proper history. Thank you
My father was stationed on the USS Belmont, GER 4, the sister ship to the USS Pueblo. In January of 1968, the Belmont had to go into dry dock due to major technical problems that kept her from going on her originally assigned mission of monitoring Russian submarine activities in the straights of Korea... After the overhaul work was completed, she was stationed in the Indian Ocean for a few months (just in case something happened).
Thank God for technical difficulties...
More videos please and good luck
The lead tank commander had the courage and defiance not to drive over the man.
25:57, This is the exact kind of scenario the 2nd Amendment here in the US is designed to prevent, and why it's imperative that civilians must be able to match the firepower of their government.
Communism/socialism is gaining way too much ground here in the US, and a scenario like this could easily be in America's future if anti-gun groups get their way.
Also, the Declaration of Independence, or the Boston Tea Party, should have been on this list. Every signer of the Declaration of Independence was wanted for treason by King George III, the most powerful man in the world at the time. John Hancock was ESPECIALLY defiant, as he knew the king had poor eyesight, and he intentionally signed his name so large that when asked about it, he said he wanted to make sure the king could read his name without having to put on his glasses. That is a serious act of defiance. You're already signing your death warrant, but you take it another step further by making sure your name is so big that the king will understand you are mocking his poor eyesight, insinuating he's just as flawed as and equal to any peasant under his rule. Dude must've walked bow-legged with balls that big.
Goattacular wow! That is truly admirable. Major respect. I’ve personally seen John Hancock’s large signature too, on the Declaration of Independence and/or US Constitution when I visited the National Archives in Washington DC.
Blew my fucking mind!!!! I had no idea we STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS!! They’re preserved in argon gas-filled display cases in quite a dim room, no flash photography allowed, and guarded by some serious looking guards.
I stood there much longer than anyone else, utterly stunned that I was within 18” of the ACTUAL documents that created this country in one of mankind’s greatest and most successful acts of defiance.
There were quite a few other visitors when I was there, including my family. But I feel like I was the only one in the room able to truly appreciate the significance of what these documents meant. These men signed their own death warrants in the eyes of the British who greatly outnumbered them. Somehow, their passion and dedication to Liberty and Freedom helped them defeat the British and allow the United States of America to exist as this new country which still exists today 250 yrs later, as now the world’s most powerful, most economically successful, and most admired nation on the planet. Truly unbelievable.
As a kid reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and being forced to study and memorize so many parts of US History, none of that meant anything to me. It wasn’t until I was 18-20 that o began to understand and it dawned on me “holy fuck.. that was one of the most defiant, most brave, most badass moves in all of mankind’s history! Incredible respect to these men!”
So you want to be able to shoot US police and servicemen. Good to know
Boudica definitely deserves a mention. Long story short, she was the queen of the Iceni Celts in 60 AD, and when her husband the king died, the Roman Empire invaded and annexed her kingdom. Boudica was flogged publicly, stripped of her title as queen, and her daughters (the rightful heirs to their father’s throne) were gangr+ped by Roman soldiers.
Infuriated, Boudica united the Celtic tribes in a hostile revolt against the Romans, attacking and destroying the Roman-controlled cities of Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London), and Verulamium. Her army drove back the Romans using scorched earth tactics, leaving nothing left for them to reclaim, and took the lives of tens of thousands of Roman soldiers. (~80,000 died on both sides)
Despite greatly outnumbering her opponent, she was finally defeated and killed when her army faced down that of Suetonius in the British Midlands, largely as a result of Suetonius holding an easily defended position which could not be flanked due to the terrain. Despite failing to drive the Romans out of Britain entirely, her ferocious and merciless attacks on Roman forces did cause Emperor Nero to initially plan a retreat by withdrawing Roman forces from the British Isles.
She was quoted as saying:
"'But now,' she said, 'it is not as a woman descended from noble ancestry, but as one of the people that I am avenging lost freedom, my scourged body, the outraged chastity of my daughters. Roman lust has gone so far that not our very persons, nor even age or virginity, are left unpolluted. But heaven is on the side of a righteous vengeance; a legion which dared to fight has perished; the rest are hiding themselves in their camp, or are thinking anxiously of flight. They will not sustain even the din and the shout of so many thousands, much less our charge and our blows. If you weigh well the strength of the armies, and the causes of the war, you will see that in this battle you must conquer or die. *This is a woman's resolve; as for men, they may live and be slaves.* “
...Outstanding work. Thank you...

There was a POW camp at Naoetsu, in Niigata Prefecture, in Western Japan, where six hundred men were made to labour as slaves in a chemical factory and Steel Mill. A film called "Unbroken" about an American Airman called Zamperini, doesn't really convey the gruelling hardship endured bu the men. It just doesnt reflect what happened. My father was one of a few officers in the Camp, designated as (the) "Bunny" for his role in distracting the guards to a different part of the camp, when a secret diary had to be updated by the CO and Doctor. On Australia Day 1944, a Guard called a parade, and made a speech about how the Australian prisoners were....inferior to the Japanese. He ordered my father to lick his boots, which would have been filthy with all kinds of stuff. My father declined the invitation, apparently with politeness, so the Guard picked up a Pick Handle, and smashed his face in. I think it must have been difficult for the Doctor to help him survive. Eight of the guards from that one camp were hanged, after the War, and that was quite extraordinary, compared with the Nazi's at Nuremburg. The story of that camp was suppressed, until recent years.
I should mention that I only found out about this. the morning of the day he died in1986.
Yay a another awesome unknown 5 vid
I would imagine that by now the entire world recognizes the middle finger greeting.
Every time you post, my day is made
You forgot "I have not yet begun to fight!" said against the British Empire in the American Revolution when it seemed clear that the cause was lost and a certain captain's ship was about to sink - and so the English captain demanded that he yield.
What about the seiege of Londonderry, it should be up there
It pleases me greatly how timeless Your Mom jokes are.
Love your videos keep up the great work
I love these videos so much. You dont upload too often but the detail is great worth the wait
I live in Kyiv. The Cossacks are still around. They have huts that look Mongolian and call them yurts, same as Mongolians. The still saddle their horses like the Mongolians, too. During EuroMaidan, it was the Cossacks that stormed the occupied government buildings and killed the Russian snipers on the rooftops. I know this because I interviewed one of the leaders 3 days later. I was photographing propaganda on poles and walls to refute those who claimed Nazis were fighting there (there were none.) He saw me and asked me if I was a Russian spy. A long conversation followed. He looked exactly like the men shown here: long white mustache and beard. Cossacks are no joke.
