This is wonderful, Russia is one of my fav countries to learn about. The history is turbulent, but the people carry themselves with pride and resilience. Russia also has such an amazing artistic culture - from Pushkin and Tolstoy in literature, to Tchaikovsky in music, Kandinsky paintings, and Tarkovsky films 😊
@@gvantsanadiradze7703 please do not cry ,and be more apolitical. This is not about government or something ,this is about culture and history. If u learn history of the world ,and history of strongest empires and countries ,u will understand that the conflicts used to be ,conflicts are now ,and they will be , while people are managing this world. And the meaning of “truth” is subjective. Each has their own truth ,you just chose the side.
I appreciate the time and effort it took to gather the information for this video. This is a rocky subject with everything going on but the world can't ignore a place that does exist and has millions of people living in. This country has always fascinated me and I had hope to visit there one day. Perhaps still. One of the most beautiful languages in my opinion.
I come from Kazakhstan and I love the fact that this book spread is dedicated to Russia and Kazakhstan 🇰🇿❤🇷🇺 It's nice to see these two countries together, as our histories are very closely related & our cultures share many similarities😊
Great video! I helped a friend get an Antonov AN-2 going and in order to try to understand the writing in the cockpit, I discovered GentleWhipering and then got fascinated with the history and culture as well as the engineering; "what kind of people designed this?" Obviously a very practical people who adapt a tool; the airplane, to fit the needs unique to their land. One of the things I found fascinating was that in this brutishly functional and all business cockpit was a shiny diamond of a clock with exquisitely ornate hands and facing. Like it belonged at the Kirov. Even in a sea of drab, the ornate bling of Russian art, music and old architecture cannot be suppressed! I got to fly these in Romania and still want one to this day. As for Russian fuel economy... well we won't go there. Whew! $$$!
Thank you for your video! You know about Russia a lot if interesting facts 💕 Little note about Novgorod: in Russia people called new town "Novgorod" really often. So this is the reason why we have many towns and cities with similar names. Novgorod Veliky is in the river Volhov is one of the ancient Russian cities. And Nizhny Novgorod is known for the fact that during the Smuta (Time of Troubles in 1605-1613) the militia will come out from there, saving Moscow from the intervention of the Poles and Swedes.
Lovely video as always! Thanks for your relaxing and educational content! I’ve learned so much since finding your channel, especially since I’ve always been bad at geography 🗺💙
Well done! I also would love to be able to visit Russia someday. There's so much wilderness to explore! Good for you for saying no to Russian ballet, but how cool is that?
This is not true. Rurik was Scandinavian. And there were no Russia when Rurik was around. Also, he ruled over region which didn't include Moscow. There was no Moscow at that time also, by the way. No Moscow. No Russia. Also, no Ukraine. There was Rus'. Rus' ≠ Russia.
I am sorry for pointing it out, but it just kind of rubs me the wrong way, especially with the way you say that you "know russia's history like the back of your hand", but It is not the only time, you mentioned it in this video and in some other one, too, that Chechnya IS AN ISLAND OR GROUP OF ISLANDS??? this is simply NOT TRUE and you should check the back of your hand better next time :( otherwise, great video! Glory to Ukraine :)
Thank you for this video. Your words about us, Russians, never having a break from authorities... Well, it hits hard. But we still here with our godforsaken, depressed history trying to live our lives. I love history too, btw. My favourite period in the history of Russia is the Novgorod republic. I think it was the best time: people could read and write, women had some rights (in the Middle Ages!). But then Moscow came and ruined everything, but we got used to it, really.
Why didn't you tell about the industrialization of the USSR in the 1930s, after which the USSR became the second economy in the world (after the USA)? 🤔
@@Anonymous-qj3sf USSR was a different country than Russia. Majority of industrialization and general & high tech development happened in the satellite states, and/or by satellite state citizens, for example Ukraine. After USSR broke down, there wasn't anything special left in Russia, just basic primary sector stuff like mining etc.
@@leopoldlodewijkfilipsmaria8064 Firstly, this is a period in the history of Russia..... This is the communist period in the history of Russian civilization. The British Empire in the 20th century and Britain now are also 2 different countries .... Surprising? 😱 Secondly, do not write what you do not know. Everything was just the opposite. The largest part of the industry of the USSR was in the RSFSR (Russia). The RSFSR was the most "hard-working" republic, which produced much more than it consumed. On the 1st place in terms of production from all 15 republics. All the largest major enterprises were located in Russia. And I also want to ask a question. Where are you from? xD Are you jealous that Russia has reached such a level, but your country is not? :)
I forgot to put it on the video, but Tsarevitch Alexei suffered from hemophilia. The more you know, I suppose!

Yes, Russian bombs and unprovoked military aggression are the best 👌 oh and the proud and resilient Russian occupants also.

Thank you for tackling Russia. I think it’s more relevant than ever before to understand this nation.
Agreed!
Loved this one! Such a fascinating country. Great job as always 😅
A belated congrats on reaching 10k subscribers!! One of my favourite channels.

This is definitely my new favorite channel ❤
I absolutely love these videos. The intro is adorable too
I love bears, too! 😍
Well done! I also would love to be able to visit Russia someday. There's so much wilderness to explore!
Good for you for saying no to Russian ballet, but how cool is that?
It was a wild opportunity, especially at that age!
Most accurate definitions of Communism and Sovietism I've ever heard. Curious now to hear your stake on anarchism (non libertarian).
Interesting and relaxing. Loved it
Scithians are considered to be an Iranic tribe and are even featured in the national epic of Persia, the Shahnameh 😊
i listened to this while studying my quizlet tysm it helped me focus and i have adhd

Awesome video !!!
Been waiting for you to get to Russia! Fascinating place
Hello from Kamchatka peninsula 🌋🌄⛰️ (Russia) Thank you for video.
we are waiting for a visit you t Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy with love ❤ :3
Well, actually "Siberia" is referred to all Russian land east of the Ural mountains, so to the Asian part of Russia.
Brilliant! I love asmr and history
Fun Fact: Russia get their first Slavic dynasty with Romanovs, before that they got ruled by Germanic Rurik and Turkic Godunov dynasties :)

love from kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬
Love this video! ❤
Fun fact the Soviet Union disbanded on 24th August 1991 and current president Vladimir Putin is an ex Soviet KGB officer.
Awesone!
completely off topic but WHEN DID THEY CHANGE IT BACK TO ASTANA?
Like a few weeks ago!
@@ASMRGeographica great now i have to keep telling myself its Astana again
Very informative. Thank you.
If the lake freezes over where do the seals go?
They live on top of the ice in snow dens!
Спасибо за видео!!
I really want to learn Russian but its seems really hard, btw ima be back for some more trivia lol
I’ve started learning Russian lately and it is very hard to get used to but you’ll be surprised how similar some words are to English
Why is Russia and Kazakhstan learnt together in a US text book? Seems bizarre
16:12
Nzhyni Novgorod its another town, if i'm remeber right means "New Novgorod" in Russian, yep the're 2 of them
It means lower newtown
The caspian sea is actually a lake and it is the largest lake in the world
Woah this one was long!
So cool❤ I love your channel. From Russia 🇷🇺❤🇺🇸
Why is Kazakhstan just lumped in with Russia? Sop strange.
Probably because it didn't fit on the central Asian map.
Personal factoid. My brother was alive during the existance of the soviet union but I wasnt.
I am sorry for pointing it out, but it just kind of rubs me the wrong way, especially with the way you say that you "know russia's history like the back of your hand", but

Omg did I say that?? I definitely meant to say something else but said Chechnya instead. I'm sorry!
