Hey all! Please forgive the seconds long technical issue at the beginning of the video. It only lasts due a few seconds and I hope that you will all enjoy it regardless.
It was fine till you got 3:00 minutes in talking about that old debunked theory of out of Africa bullshit! I could've watch then except you decide to show some light skinned version of supposed early Europeans. That's retarded,impossible and genetically disproven! Genetics actually show the opposite Caucasions actually have a separate beginning and the genetics show Sub-Saharan blacks do not share this until a later date. Hence proven we're separate origins and we went into Sub-Saharan and contributed our unique ancestral d.n.a into Sub-Saharan Africans! We've always been in N.Africa as well. Sun Saharans have never spread really at all and sure the hell not out of Africa!
Great video. And I think it is fantastic you are countering the propoganda that has come from the Kremlin. Its ignorant of all the history prior to Catherine the great it seems. I always found it ironic that Russia would claim Ukraine when they are the evolution of the soviets that destroyed the Russian empire.
Sarmatians were part of the wider Scythian cultures.... (wikipedia) They started migrating westward around the fourth and third centuries BC, coming to dominate the closely related Scythians by 200 BC.
The Canaanites were the original inhabitants of Canaan, a region that roughly corresponds to the borders of modern Israel. The Canaanites are mentioned in the Old Testament, as well as in cuneiform, Egyptian, and Phoenician writings from around the 15th century BCE. According to ancient DNA analysis, the Canaanites were a mix of two populations: Local farmers About 50% of the Canaanites' genes came from local farmers who settled in the Levant around 10,000 years ago. Earlier population The other half of the Canaanites' genes came from an earlier population that was identified from skeletons found in Iran. Genetic traits of the ancient Canaanites suggest that they looked similar to the Lebanese population today, but perhaps with a slightly darker skin tone. According to the Bible, the Israelites conquered Canaan after leaving Egypt, and the Canaanites were the people they drove out of the land.
Persians, Turkic, Scandinavian and Slavic tribes combined and created modern day Ukranian culture. Huns, Scythians, Khasars, Cuman/Kipchaks and Finno Ugric tribes still live there. Ukraine is a precious corridor between West and East.
Kind of interesting BS when some people trying to use genetics to justify the current events. There was no name of Ukraine till a couple of centuries ago, when the pro-Russian nationalists in Austro-Hungarian empire started to realize that they belong to Russian world (because Russian troops were marching to Paris in 1812-1815). Then it turned into a special case of Ukraine. And now things come to their origins. Russian regions of "Ukraine" returned to Mother Russia and more to come. 😁😁
On a personal note, my only living grandparent's family came from Lviv. My grandmother considers herself Ukrainian. So, it's interesting learning about this history.
Don’t believe this shit it’s all state department brainwashing it’s identity destruction it’s cultural destruction and it’s tradition destruction they’re conducting another bolshevik experiment on Ukrainians and they still haven’t figured it out
@@Nooraksilol I get the sarcasm but it is older than it's eastern "motherland" ;) which many don't want to admit and have been led to believe is the other way around.
It was a first brave attempt to write a REAL history of Ukraine as a proto- Europeans in many aspects. Naturally , this work was done not perfectly and contains many mistakes . If it was presented in Ukrainian I would find long list of such mistakes. The first obvious mistake is research for `russian` DNK as russian nation .First time today`s `russia` named itself with this word was at the beginning of 18th century ! That territory spoke on different languages , quite often not understanding each other ! ON maps it was named as Tartaria ,Moskovia etc. , but NEVER as Russia ! Word `russian ` didnt exist ! This ` nation` till now doesn`t have it`s own territory as the ethnos `russian` doesnt exist ! This is not an ethnic termin , but politic ! This `tric` was invented by Western historics ! Peter 1 hired them to write fake history as a new European empire history , which did not really exist ! That is why they had `stollen` name of Rus ( It is antic name of todays Ukraine) and `privatized` Ukrainian history together with the name of the Ukrainian country! Who`s DNK were you looking for ? Average russian have very little Slavic gens ! His DNK formed mostly from finno-ugr , turkish , Mongolian , northern Siberians peoples genome ! Exposure of this mystification became one of the reasons to start new russian zar actual EXISTENCIAL war against Ukraine ! Do you understand now the price of such s big mistake in one word ? Putler doesn`t even hide his dream to eliminate Ukrainian people ! He claims it ! In his opinion only one russian people will survive ! OUR war is for that wrong word used in 300-year old political decision and this research too ! We don`t know yet quantity of killed Ukrainians , but we have already about 10 MILLIONS of emigrants from Ukraine ! What all our cities and villages look like all world already saw . Most of them COMPLEATLY depopulated and destroyed ! This is price for one fake word 300 years ago ! That is why I protest against such ` mistakes ` of Western historics before and nowadays ! Look who you hire and quote ! People , be watchful ! New ruscism wants your blood ,not only Ukrainian ! listen carefully what new moskovian furer already claimed in Europe in his Munich speech ! Most people appreciated visual presentation of this science-like video , but for me more important what ideas it promotes. In my opinion If author was not well informed and made has mistake not for a purpose video must be reconsidered and remastered I would recommend to author present his next video first to auditory of country he is talking about . I am obsoletely sure Ukrainian historscs know much more about their own country then foreigners . And yes , you must make it first in national language , and after discussion in Ukraine - in any other . This way you avoid many mistakes and get much more not only mass `likes` but respect and appreciation worldwide !
@@_WitcH_888 I dsdn't confuse rus with russian, and yes , Rus has the only meaning of one of the antic names of the Ukrainian state with capital in Kyiv . ``Kiev Rus`` - one of the moscovian ideological ``invents`` to conpromise word Rus ! This invet aimed on manipulation and replacing the only meaning with multiple ruses ! Rus is the only state and the only capital was in Kyiv ! ANY other Rus didn`t exist !
@@genat2787 I completely agree with you and thanks from my heart for open true history to other people in the world. I don't know why but sure you are also Ukrainian as I am ❤️
Some illustrations of sarmatians are not of ancient Sarmatians but of polish aristocracy from XVII century and around that called themselves sarmatians due to popular legend about their descent from ancient ones.
Well Ukraine has had many influences. Fighting has remained with all. Whether it’s the recognized Ukraine or the resistance. It’s about the East regions of Asia and the West. The Great Hoard had many attempts to conquer, but never have.
I find it somewhat hard to find books that have good coverage of prehistoric ukraine and central asia. Can you provide some sources where I could look into it more?
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 Mainstream?? You mean the official narratives>>> Those sanctioned at this specific time and place and await future revision????
Historically, genetically and archaeologically, the Ukrainians are of Slavic origin, the territory of Ukraine was swarmed by Early Slavic material cultures, the Kiev, the Penkovka, the Kolochin, and even the Prague-Korchak cultures, the first Slavic state to emerge in recorded history was the Kingdom of the Antes, situated primarily in what is today's Ukraine. The Antes were an Early East Slavic nation.
LIAR ! IT WAS WRITTEN "OUKRAINA" LIKE OUKRAINA OF URAL, OUKRAINA OF POMORSK ETC.... ITS REALLY ONLY BORDERLAND, OF RUSSIAN PEOPLE AND EMPIRE ...ALL KINGS ARE WRITTN LIKE RUSSIAN KING, AND YOU CAN SEE IT AT THE WALLS OF KIEV BIGGEST CHURCH "LAVRA"..1O TH CENTURY. NOWHERE YOU CAN FIND THIS FAKE COUNTRY UKRAINA ))) RUSSIAN KINGS CAME TO KIEV FROM NORT CITY NOVGOROD, KIEV WAS KHAZARIAN FORTRESS"KOUIAVA" )))
It has nothing to do with "Ukraine" which is not a real nation, westerners. It is the story of Russia - the nation of ALL the Rus which includes Belarus and Ukraine! We are not talking about Slavic origins because the Poles, Czechs and Slovaks are also Slavic relatives, but were not a part of the RUS
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy Czechs 41% Haplogroup H, Poles 15% Haplogroup H. purely Polish H4a 12%. What this means, H group lived in Europe around 13,500 - 15,000 years ago. All R group lived in Europe only 12,000 years ago. Chechs. Slovaks and Poles are the same mixture of people. Rus Ukrainian are distantly related people. That's why 70% Poles does not poses old heritage more than 2,000 years. To figure that out from genetics and archaeology, one needs to study both. Demic vs. cultural diffusion and patrilineal Megalithic societies
In Ukraine on lands lived many Turkish Tribes its like Kuman-Kıpchaks,Pechenegs,Uzes,Khazars,Avars,Itil Bulgars,The Huns… and many many like that. Respect from Turkey to Ukraine nation
Turkish lies from so called Turkey. Read history of the region realistically then post your comments. So called Turkey Still denies the Arminan genocide and denies the lands of Kurdistan.
Except the Turks come from Manchuria and all the people you call Turkic have nothing to do with true Turks. They are people convinced by the sword to alter their identity for a conqueror that has genetically disappeared among the genes of the indigenous people of the area
@@thefisherking78 Everyone in Eastern Europe knows what Ukraine is to Americans. Second most influential man after ihor kolomoisky( Jew who has been financing the Ukrainian NAzis???) is G.Soros- the EVIL
28:45 Mongols never occupied Rus on 1240, just raided the country on their way to Hungary. They also never captured the capital of Rus, since king Danilo prudently moved his throne westward to Xolmъ right in 1223.
Very interesting, I myself have lived in Odessa and Kharkiv in Ukraine for four and half years, in this amazing land I got married twice with such pretty Ukrainian women and became a father of a wonderful and handsome son named Isaak Rodrigovich and grandpa of two cute kids named Milana and Mikhailo! Ukraine belongs from ancient years from Yafet, the son of Noach and from the Skifs from the heir Viking princes Kyiv, Mikholaiv and Kharkiv and also the princess L'viv. This Country belongs to the Almighty ELOHIM ADONAI and we will win this war day-by-day against Russia, the descendents of the Ruriks, because The Hand of God is over our homeland. Greetings from Brazil.
On behalf of my Ukrainian grandparents and my Ukrainian heritage Slava Ukraine. Miss celebrating Ukrainian Easter and other traditions I have lost. Grandparents arrived to America in 1910. RIP Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma only 16 when she arrived. She came with a neighbor family and her own family she left behind. Why did Grandma flee? I will never know.
@@Jakmak1480 Perhaps she did not have to flee. Maybe she wanted a better life, have a job, make some money. My own Grandmother ( from East Slovakia, which boarders on Ukraine) did exactly the same in 1910! She boarded a ship in Germany and sailed to NY to become a maid in a household for one year. She returned home though unlike your grandparents who stayed in the promised land.
@@danielahoti4109 May I ask how old your Grandma was? Believe my Grandma also sailed on German ship possibly Kaiser Wilhelm? Grandpa became coal miner in PA USA where a lot of Ukrainians settled then eventually went to NY. He died after contracting black lung disease from mines. He also came in 1910 but grandpatents did not know each other. They met in USA. Believe maybe they saw the writing on the wall and did flee because the Bolshevik Revolution was 1917.
22:35 Proto-Slovenic (Ukrainian) language evidently existed and was widely spread across Central and Eastern Europe on 448 AD, over a century before the Avar invasion, so the very idea of this border-guards-lingua-franca is completely nonsensical and ridiculously unsubstantiated.
What proto slovenic, you want to say proto slavic, why you invent new words? 😂😂😂, slavic peoples are not a old grup, they were formed between the mix of 2 cultures the balts and sarmatians, balts lived in north Ukraine(learn about Kolochin culture ,a balto slav culture) and sarmatians in south, these cultures influenced each other and formed slavs, look at slavic languages sound like a mix of baltic and sarmatian(iranic)with litle germanic influence, aslo north ukrainians look like baltic peoples(light haired ,light eyed,tall) southern look like south europeans ( dark features, medium height )slavic genes aslo not exist, R1a have many subclades and north ukrainians,balts,finnic peoples,belarussians and south russians have balto finnic subclade of R1a who is very high aslo in estonians,balts,karelians,mordvins etc and aslo N1 balto finnic who is high in baltic and finnic peoples but aslo belarussians and north ukrainians have a high percent but not so high like in finnic o baltic peoples, haplogrups have many subclades like R1b have celtic subclade,iberic, germanic and african(Camerun peoples are black peoples and have very high percent of R1b but have nonthing to do genetically similarity with european peoples like germans o irish, R1a is aslo high in central Asia and aslo in dravidians but the subclade is diferent , N1 is aslo high in samoyeds but they are total diferent from finns for example, I2 of balkan peoples is total diferent from I2 of sardinians etc slavs are just like latin peoples, diferent culture,mentality and genes
I do know that the Swedish Vikings had a formative influence in the creation of polities in the Ukraine region -these people used the Russian and Ukrainian rivers to make their way to the great city of Constantinople capital of the eastern Roman or Byzantine empire and in the process founded such cities as Kiev and many others ruling over a Slavic substrate.They were responsible for Ukraine/Russia converting to Orthodox Christianity and the names of the rulers like Waldemar and Olga betray Scandinavian origins.Often these people known as Varangians constituted the guards for the Byzantine emperors.One of the Kievan princesses (Anna) married the king of France and many others married into Hungarian and other European royal dynasties.
You must watch a new movie The Northman (2022) about the ancient culture of the Vikings and their invasion of Ukraine (in movie it is called the Slavic lands of Rus)
Thank you for making this informative video. Due to current world politics I have been looking for more information on this geographic area and you delivered! Your hard work is very much appreciated.
7 million were murdered in the UKR at the first year of WW2 so those now in there are mostly transplants .. Nazi Germans and those in the prisons? called the holodome ... stalin sent in soldiers to take all the food at start of winter then waited 2 months and sent soldiers back to demand all hidden foods of survivors. then waited 1 month to return and those still staggering they said they will get a bread for each body they dragged out of houses into the grave and there's photos of guys hauling dead bodies on their backs wearing robes barely clothed bodies on their back with breasts facing out. these videos were taken off dissappeared in 2020
Thank you so much for a such great overview of Ukrainian history. Ukraine is indeed the crossroads of Europe with so many invaders coming and going through. That defines the history of people living there and in many cases the history of Europe.
Good review, except that this is overview of Russian people origin. "Ukraine" and "Ukrainian" people are just recent inventions couple hundred years ago. Before that all people in that area called themselves Russians.
Funny, how author carefully calls described people as "people of Rus", instead of calling them simply "Russians". But that is exactly how people living in that area called themselves - Russians. That times if anybody would dare to call Greate Prince of Kiev "Ukrainian Prince" instead of "Russian Prince" would be immediately executed, since that would mean "a Prince of Periphery".
@@victorotvertchenko2665yeah, so-called nowadays russians are the burglars who stole ukrainian name, because Rus were only today's territory of Ukraine and Belarus particularly. The reason why your peter 1 had to rename Moscowia and moscowit's calling yourself "Rossia", in greek, because everyone then knew where the real Rus was. Spoiler alert! not in Moscowia.
30:50 Muscovy emerged on 1501 as a result of the Horde disintegration and has nothing to do with medieval Rus or historical Russia whatsoever, those countries never ever bordered. Renaming Muscovy into Russia does not turn it into Russia for real, exactly why its new false name was not internationally recognized until 1773.
Q: invented history from Hrushevski... A: Gruševsky was an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, meaning his works have been officially approved by the Muscovite science community in accordance with the Muscovite ideology.
@@betterdonotanswer Q? I don't remember I put a question mark on the statements below the rethorical question on your formal schooling implying your ignorance. Lay down the smart game as you are from it , tainted too much of your kind. Hrushevskiy was not accepted fully and criticized by those you call muscovites except the ukrainian historians rather unbelievable. If you know anything you should know that. Leave the Varnasrama Dharma terminology out, you don't look versed more. What nonsense is thought in schools in ukraine now on history takes roots from invented interpretation by Hrushesvskiy and others. By all means Soviets spread in some parts their visions of history but not close what inventioned lies were and are thought in ukraine about history. Not everything was disproved but not everything is true to archaeological evidence and historical facts but you come here spreading some hate with your stupid profile pictures and comments to look smart but infact ignorant, calling Russians muscovites, Huns , history, and answering like you are the God given authority. You call them muscovites sudras and others like them, it's not an insult at all to be a sudra. Likes of you in your third world ever begging corrupted poor sludge of a country that was laughing stock always much like a lot of eastern Europe to the west. And you have come and lecture on history and insult others who may or may not be from russia, calling sudras .. illness is not everything that hurts.. likes of you have a name in German that being a sudra is high position compared.
The land occupied by Ukraine was once occupied by poland and Lithuania. Even putin has said poland was taken by Ukraine. It was poland and Lithuania before Ukraine
Originating in the central parts of the Eurasian Steppe, the Sarmatians were part of the wider Scythian cultures. The Scytho-Siberian world was an archaeological horizon which flourished across the entire Eurasian Steppe during the Iron Age from approximately the 9th century BC to the 2nd century AD. It included the Scythian, Sauromatian and Sarmatian cultures of Eastern Europe, the Saka-Massagetae and Tasmola cultures of Central Asia, and the Aldy-Bel, Pazyryk and Tagar cultures of south Siberia. They started migrating westward around the fourth and third centuries BC, coming to dominate the closely related Scythians by 200 BC. At their greatest reported extent, around 100 BC, these tribes ranged from the Vistula River to the mouth of the Danube and eastward to the Volga, bordering the shores of the Black and Caspian seas as well as the Caucasus to the south.
In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land. The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus. Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author. Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate. Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation..........
This is so well documented omg what a GOLDMINE for research... Lucky I know alot of the terms so I can follow but wauw man!! awesome!! Chronological order going back to africa!! JUST WAUW!! THANK YOU!!!
Talking about Slavic Russians, I would suggest comparing the map of Russia and the map of the settlement of the Slavs, It can be immediately seen that the Slavs there are little pebbles, more than 95% of the population of Russia are other nationalities and mostly Finno-Ugric people. In prehistoric times Finno-Ugric tribes inhabited a long belt stretching across northern Europe from the Urals through northern Scandinavia, reaching south to present-day Latvia. To hide this fact, that is probably why it is not possible to find a map of the settlement of the Slavs in a large size, where the territories of Russia would be indicated in full. This is done so that no one compares ... And in Wikipedia in English there is not any information about Finno-Ugric tribe's settlement, just in Russian language and Ukrainian. It has been done on purpose to hide from Europeans that Russians are not Slavic, talking about percentage attitude.
@@papazataklaattiranimam I am talking about Russian genetic roots, not about Finno-Ugric importance in history. And in Wikipedia in English there is no information about the settlement of the Finno-Ugric tribes in Russia. When to click on the link to read about it in English in Russian article about the settlement of Finno-Ugric tribes, a completely different article pops up - not about the settlement of Finno-Ugric tribes, but about the spread of the Ugro-Finnish language. In other words, information about the resettlement of Finno-Ugric tribes exists only in Russian and Ukrainian languages. This was done on purpose to hide from Europeans that Russians are not Slavs in percentage attitude. Just do some extra research and you can see that Slavic trace in Russia is pretty weak. Russian have taken a lot from slavic cultureб especially slavic language, just because it was dominated at that time. It is like many people in Idia now speak English, but it doesn't mean that they are Anglo-Saxons.
Kind of interesting BS when some people trying to use genetics to justify the current events. There was no name of Ukraine till a couple of centuries ago, when the pro-Russian nationalists in Austro-Hungarian empire started to realize that they belong to Russian world (because Russian troops were marching to Paris in 1812-1815). Then it turned into a special case of Ukraine. And now things come to their origins. Russian regions of "Ukraine" returned to Mother Russia and more to come. 😁😁 Hi from USA. People can migrate, like we Americans went to West. So Russian people of Novgorod, Kiev, Vladimir, Moscow went East.
@@mishaknopkin2199 For centuries there were people called Rusyns, Rusniaks, or Ruthenians who then identified as Ukrainian, people of the borderland. "Mother" Russia originated with the Kievan Rus.
Ukrainians are one of the Most unique ethnic groups. Russia was constantly trying to sweep Ukraine's history under the rug, and that's one of the reasons why many Western countries had so little plan for Ukraine
The is nothing about Ukrainian culture and history,the attire is more like Turkic so does their art of colour!The speak almost like non egalitarian version of Russians !
Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine: Rus’ ought not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’. Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise. Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus') Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”. Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’. In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership. “Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village. Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!
Everything about current Russian state is fake. They steal identities and culture from other countries & call it their own. This article did not mention Ukrainian lands were deep in western Russia and that Russians were forced to occupy southeastern Ukraine less than a century ago. Very little mention that Muscovites were predominately Finnic-Urgic and intermarried with the Mongol hoarde who founded Muscovy in the 1200s. These outlets that write about Ukraine history should research Ukraine's version, if they want the truth. Putin being a Slav is about same chance as my Italian neighbour.
Russia did not exist then, Russia is not a Slavic country, Russia appeared in 1721 and there was no Russia in those wars, look at the map, when Kievan Rus was baptized in Kyiv in 988, then even Moscow did not exist, it was founded 159 years later. The word Ukraine is essentially an analogue of the term inland, inland, center, that is, Rus, and according to the annals, this is the middle Dnieper region, it is there that there are the rivers Ros, Rosavka, Rosava, Rostavitsa and a bunch of villages with the same names, and in the west there is the city of Rava Ruska , Ruska and not Russian) also in the east there is the village of Ruska Lozova, and down the Dnieper River Ruska Polyana, there is also Ruska Ternova, Ruska Tishki, etc., the village of Rosava, etc., there is Rumunia right near the border of Ukraine the village of Ruska Polyana, too, 90% of Ukrainians live there. Therefore, Ukrainians are Russ, Ruthenians, Ruthenians, but since Kievan Rus collapsed after 1240, it was necessary to create an analogue of a new name for the lands that were Rus and the lands that belonged to Rus, and this is in conditions when there is a horde in the northeast, which confuses concepts, namely this horde invented the adjective word Russians, which they called different tribes of the Fino-Ugro-Taro-Mongol. As for why Russia took the Roman name of Russia, this is also a separate story, Russia has always stolen the history and heritage of foreign states, then it fought for the right to be the main heir to Rus, after the collapse of Rus itself became part of the Golden Horde and fought for the right to be its main heir, but the Crimean Khanate won there, then Moscow fought for the right to be the main heir to Byzantium and may have heard how they called Moscow 3 Rome, they created Kleinods supposedly theirs with fake letters for Monomakh's hats, etc., and Byzantium called itself the Roman Empire type 2 from Rome and the Roman Empire, which they gnawed in the west, here Russia, too, taking history, following the example of Byzantium, decided to take the history of Russia, but it could not be called Russia directly; another, now Russia has decided to go to war and steal the history of Russia by twisting, this is one of the reasons to go to war with Ukraine. Russia wants to Steal the history of Kievan Rus in Ukraine, this is a small part of why Russia attacked, Russia also wants to restore the Soviet Union and wants Ukrainians to survive again under Russian repression, Russia deported Ukrainians, made famines, threw Ukrainians into foreign wars like Finland in 1939. If the Ukrainians do not have their own separate state, then I assure you, Russia will start throwing Ukrainians at war in Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. If they fight back to help Ukraine, then Russia will go further with a war on other countries. Ukraine is the only country that can stop Russia and destroy Russia as a Soviet Union so that it no longer goes to war.
Basically Russian mean the Muscovites (of Orthodox Religion and Mongol Law) which claimed the title of "Third Rome" and the Destiny of uniting the Ruthenians under this new identity : which explain concepts like Velikaya Rossiya and Malorossiya. It’s a Panslavic Orthodox and Mongol-Despotic Identity.
Kind of interesting BS when some people trying to use genetics to justify the current events. There was no name of Ukraine till a couple of centuries ago, when the pro-Russian nationalists in Austro-Hungarian empire started to realize that they belong to Russian world (because Russian troops were marching to Paris in 1812-1815).

Ukrainians ancestors were a mixture of Slavic tribes, Sarmatians, and Scythians (not Fenno-ugry). Cossak's outfits were the same as Sarmatians or Scythian outfit, Ukrainian language contains a lot of scythian grammar structure, a lot of geographic names in Ukraine are scythian. Just look at the map of Great Scythia, it's Ukrainian land. A lot of Ukrainian culture contains Sarmatian and Scythian things if we get in detail of Ukrainian customs, believes, the way like Ukrainians even lead wars, they treat women or women position in Ukrainian society we can find a lot of in common with ancient cultures, existed in the lands of contemporary Ukraine such as Scythia and Sarmatia.
@@papazataklaattiranimam There is an opinion that there is a Turkish trace in the clothes of the Cossacks, but the Scythians lived not only on the territory of Ukraine but partly on the territory of Turkey, and it was just a common type of clothing among the Scythian and Sarmatian tribes.
@@papazataklaattiranimam I would also like to say that, like England, for example, Ukraine is multi-layered, it is not only Slavs but before them, there were Scythians and Sarmatians. Just as England has Britons in its genome first, then the Anglo-Saxons (Anglo-Saxons), then the Normans (the Normans), Ukraine created its genetic code from a mixture of Slavs, Scythians and Sarmatians. One can even trace how the cultural heritage of the Scythians (by the way, they were people of European appearance) permeated everything Ukrainian. First of all, the geographical names of rivers, lakes, valleys, and cities very often have roots in the Scythian language. The Ukrainian language itself has a lot of Scythian language grammar. The Scythians were distinguished by the fact that they were famous for good archers. Ukrainian artillery is one of the best in the world. In addition, the attitude towards a woman is something that was transmitted from the Scythians and Sarmatians, among whom it was common when a woman was a warrior too. If you dig deeper into the history before the Slavs, you can find an almost modern Ukrainian in his approach to freedom, election, attitude towards women, and attitude towards life. Even the Bible mentions the Scythians because they were famous for being honest warriors whom the Greeks hired to guard various objects.
@@SundayUk It's the same as saying Latins are Etruscan or Austrians are Celtic. I don't understand why you're obsessed with these two extinct peoples when Slavic history is much more powerful and influential. Also the existence of some common words in Ukrainian and Scythian is due to common Indo-European words. Both Scythians/Sarmatians and Slavs firstly emerged in the Yamnaya culture.

The mongols brought about possibly the most brutal era mankind has ever known. They committed mass genocide that was possibly even greater than Hitler. And what’s worse is they got away with it without any accountability. That’s why it’s worse than Hitler. Hitler and his cronies had to face the consequences of their actions. The mongols never did. The amount of people they murdered is so vast it’s hard to count. But, the relatively sparse populations today over lands they once conquered I believe is attributed to their brutal methods of conquest.
25:55 There was no such country as «Kievan Rus», this anti-historical term was fabricated by Muscovite propaganda in order to introduce even more anti-historical terms such as «North-Eastern Rus» or «Muscovite Rus» which never existed. Rhos, Rosia, Ruscia, Ruthenia, Russia or Rusь (839-1434) was a medieval kingdom situated in northwestern Ukraine, in between the Vistula and Dnieper rivers.

Q: Literally it was no word Ukraine... A: Muscovites are notorious for their utmost ignorance. Proto-Slovenic word vъkrajьna most definitely existed on the 6th century AD, terminus ante quem.
Galychyna-Volyn principality existed from 1199 to 1349. At the head of the state were the princes of three dynasties - Rurikovych, Piast and Gedyminovych. Before the formation of a single state, the principalities of Galychyna and Volyn existed independently. Initially, the Galychyna principality was more powerful, which happened as a result of the skillful and intelligent policy of Prince Volodymyr and his son, Prince Yaroslav. He also took care of the Galychyna principality's diplomatic relations with other states. Unlike the Galychyna principality, Volyn state was initially represented by a large number of small principalities separated from each other. Only Prince Roman Mstyslavovych managed to unite the disparate principalities into a single Volyn, and it was on his initiative that Galychyna joined the Volyn principality. This is how the powerful Galychyna-Volyn state was formed. In 1239, Danylo Romanovych annexed the lands of Kyiv to the Galychyna-Volyn state. And after the attack of the Mongol-Tatars, he was forced to pay tribute to them. At the same time, it gave him peace and confidence that the Golden Horde would not raid the lands of his state. However, Danylo Halytsky was not going to obey the Mongol-Tatars and did the following: concluded an agreement with the king of Hungary; agreed with the Pope about a crusade against the Mongol-Tatars; built new cities (Lviv and Kholm were formed during this period); organized troops; made fortifications of old cities. Prince Yuriy II Boleslav became the last prince of the Galychyna-Volyn state. The Lithuanian Lyubart, the son-in-law of the predecessor, entered the throne of the Galychyna-Volyn state. Thus, the Principality of Galychyna-Volyn ceased to exist and became part of the Principality of Lithuania. After that, the Polish king Casimir the Great started a fight for these lands. In 1349, Casimir the Great seized parts of Galychyna and annex these lands to Poland. In the 1340s, the so-called Lithuanian-Polish period in history began, when most of the lands of Rus were united by the Lithuanian dynasty into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Rus and Zhemaitia, but Galychyna and western part of Volyn became part of Poland.

Maybe worth clarifying that the word 'rus' (derived from the Swedish word meaning 'men who row'), was simply what the Slavic people called Rurik and his Swedish vikings, since they used oars on their longboat on the rivers. Thus, not to be confused with today's use of 'Rus'-sia. The Slavic tribes in the north offered Rurik the settlement of Novgorod in 879 AD in exchange for his protection against various treats from nomadic tribes from the east. After his dead three years later, his brother-in-law, Helgi expanded his realm, and captured Kiev, which was the hold of another viking chieftain, and when they settled in Kiev, they became known as the Kiev Rus. They were the ruling class and will have a significant influence on the Ukrainian history in coming years all over the region.
This is an outdated "Norman" theory of Rus(sia) is not confirmed by modern science of Paleo-genetics. Norman genes are 4% in Rus(sia) areas. In Ukraine Galychyna (Lviv) much more 18%. No surprise as the area was occupied by Poland, then AustroHungarians centuries.
@@taniatarasova4157no, all the historical records point to a Swedish origin of the foundation of what are now Russia and Ukraine. Olga, Igor aren't native names, they're Helga and Ingvar.
The interpretation of the meaning of Russia given by people who forgot where it came from doesn't mean Russia doesn't come from Rus, or "men who row". If I remember right, the Russian idea is that the name comes from the color red or something like that
@@cezar211091 No. twenty years ago I studied at a Russian school and we accepted the Norman theory as a fact. And the word Rus' was called from the word Ruthenia. I hasten to disappoint you if you are a Russophobe, but in Russia they rely on historical sources. What cannot be said about Ukraine
Shame shame! Always loved my Ukrainian origins. My grandparents were Ukrainian. Had much fun celebrating Easter Ukrainian style yet in high school people would say " oh you are Russian" I would say " No it is not Russian! My cousin recently was saying that. Now she has learned!
Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine: Rus’ ought not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’. Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise. Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus') Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”. Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’. In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership. “Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village. Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!
@@pirshinstudio2117 well, actually people can't judge the culture of someone, because everyone has a an ancient culture such Greeks for example. Our origin comes partly from Trziniec and komarov cultures, due to archaeological, genetics and linguistic analysis.
Constantinople was main trade partner of Kyivan Rus at St. Peter Basilica , Vatican, Italy at Chapel is to the right of the main altar of the Basilica you can find "Saint" Vladimir or Wladimir the "Great" and Trident. He is holding a staff with a cross (an emblem denoting he converted Ukrainians to Byzantium Christian Orthodoxy). Also depicted is the St. Sophia cathedral standing in Kyiv or Kiev (Vladimir's mother was called so and convinced him to introduce Christianity)
Ukrainians ? You mean Russians.. because in "Ουκρανοί" ( Ukrainians) are not mentioned anywhere in Byzantine documents.. but there are some guys called "Ρώσοι".. try to translate "Ρώσοι" in you language
Even in the days of the Trypil culture, cities on the territory of Ukraine had 10,000 inhabitants each. At the time when about 1 million people lived in Europe, these were megacities. So the Vikings came to ready-made cities. Before that, there was a small handful of them that assimilated after 2 generations. The first time a person sat on a horse was also on the territory of Ukraine, because it was here that the oldest horse skull with characteristic damage to the teeth was found. The oldest figurine of a wagon with wheels also comes from Ukraine. There was no Kievan Rus, this is a later invention of Russian pseudo-historians. There was simply Rus, which was located in Kyiv and its surroundings, everything else, incl. the European part of modern Russia - these were colonial conquered lands. You don't say that you created the British Empire together with the Inus, for example. The difference between Hindus and Finno-Ugric whites is that Hindus are more developed and civilized. And the Finno-Ugric people of that time only got out of the Stone Age thanks to the Ukrainian Ruthenians, that is, until that time, not a single metal object was found on that territory. Also, the ancient Ukrainians tried to Christianize them. But, as we can see, modern Russians have not yet mastered Christian morality.
Damn, what kind of “ancient Ukrainians” are you talking about if the first ethnic Ukrainians appeared only in the 1860s? Until this time, there is not a single historical source where Ukrainians were mentioned.
Wow, such a rich, complicated and fairly bloody history of Ukraine and its people. Had no idea that the genetics were so diverse but it figures due to their geographic location. Thanks.
The only thing, before 16th century population of that area never heard about "Ukraine" and called themselves "Russians". Ukraine in all Slavic languages has only one meaning- periphery. No people in the history called themselves "peripheral people". That is demeaning
@@paulking54 You seem to be a nice guy, so I'll give you a similar example. There is a region in the Balkans called Krajina, that was also a construct between two empires, the Habsburg and the Ottoman empire. The region was ethnically Slavic so you can see the similarity (Ukraina = Kraina), the meaning is the same like Victor explained.
I have immigrant grandparents from Poland and Ukraine. My DNA specifically singles out both Polish and Ukrainian DNA. None of it is called Russian. The eastern Poland area of my grandmother is now part of western Ukraine. Their villages were only 100 miles apart. But the DNA makes the distinction very clearly.

to say that Ukraine did not exist, but Moldova existed... Ukraine and its civilization existed much earlier and saved Moldova from the attack of Russia and looking at the maps of Ukraine and Moldova... No matter how Ukraine was called Scythia or the Kingdom of Ants or Kievan Rus in those days , but all the same their statehood existed on the world map and was much larger than the current Moldova, which was part of Romania and, for example, during the time of the Scythians or the Kiev movement, then Moldova did not exist at all, Ukrainians of the Kiev movement walked there and did not notice anything about Byzantium, but now... Now Ukraine protects you from Russia and if it did not protect you, there would be no Moldovans again, Russia would capture Moldova in 3 hours and join it first to Transnistria, and then to Russia, and you need to kiss the feet of the Ukrainians for the fact that they protect you from the occupation of Russia, and you can't even bring Transnistria under control, but wait for Ukraine to figure everything out. I hope that Transnistria will be Ukraine, many Ukrainians live there, and you do not want to help Ukraine and take away this Russian piece so that Ukraine is not surrounded. I hope the Ukrainians will then hold a referendum in Transnistria and Wong will join the Odesa region, you Moldovans are a very ungrateful people, the Ukrainians gave you access to the sea, and you say that Ukraine did not exist... study history.
@@mykolaj1110 "you Moldovans are a very ungrateful people, the Ukrainians gave you access to the sea" .You put the ball in Putin's net thinking like the Russian: what's mine is mine, what's yours is also mine. First of all, you are defending yourself, even if we have the same interest, it is not normal to look down on me, and if you think that all the territories of Kievan Rus belong to you by right, that is your business.How do you mean that you gave us access to the sea when Bugeacul was Romanian and therefore Moldovan territory until the miserable peace of San Stefano and Berlin when the Russians annexed it even though the Romanians and therefore Moldovans saved them from a shameful defeat giving them Dobrogea, an underdeveloped region at that time that they just didn't give it from them but from the Turks. Now you also want Transnistria without anything in exchange! These ungrateful Moldovans, therefore Romanians, will help you do business so that you don't get defeated. Maybe you want them to be grateful like the Poles, right? Maybe it was a Russian troll, the Moldovans, not the Transnistrians, support the Ukrainian state.
Very interesting but doesn't quite tie in with the last history I read about Ukraine. So I think there is some difference of opinion about who-did-what between those of Ukraine history & those of Russian history. Nevertheless at least we can say that Ukraine has been a defined entity since at least the 9th century AD. Another point made in the other history I read was that Moscow was a tiny village when Kyiv was long established as a city on the ancient Silk Road. To me it is apparent that Russia (altho that name derives from the Rus people - who were in Ukraine ) has zero ownership claim to Ukraine !
Ukrainian called themselves ruthenians, their country Rus. Moscovian Kingdom stole this name , Russian meant Rus in greek (not sure). Real ruthenians couldn't protect themselves because their kingdom was destroyed bo Horde.
Very nicely done, very informative, and very educationally stimulating for persons such as, myself who doesn't know that much about the slavic regions and people's of the world. Bravo, bravo.
Unfortunately many misconseptions or historical clishes in this video. Everything is mixed and sounds like being very complicated without essentially clarifying what is the real history, especially genetic history.
This is very interesting and objective (non-Eurocentric) overview of Ukraine history and ancestry of peoples living here. Only I am disappointed that quite a large and influential nation of Kipchaks (Polovtsy) was not mentioned here even though they meddled in Kievan Russ history a lot before arrival of the Mongols, they even took Kiev in the 12th century. After that the Golder Horde wasn't there for 2 centuries only. Nogai and Crimean Khanates occupied the southern Ukraine until the the end of the 18th century.
Kind of interesting BS when some people trying to use genetics to justify the current events. There was no name of Ukraine till a couple of centuries ago, when the pro-Russian nationalists in Austro-Hungarian empire started to realize that they belong to Russian world (because Russian troops were marching to Paris in 1812-1815). Then it turned into a special case of Ukraine. And now things come to their origins. Russian regions of "Ukraine" returned to Mother Russia and more to come. 😁😁 Hi from USA.

Lactase is an enzyme and digests. Lactose (milk sugar) is a carbohydrate and is the substrate digested by lactase. Baby mammals produce lactase to enable them to drink their mother's milk (lactose, in addition to being energy, also seems to help shuttle Calcium cations accross the gut, which may be why glucose isn't the milk sugar). Only those with lactase persistence can still digest lactose and therefore milk in adulthood, though microbes can sometimes take up the slack, and some fermented milk products avoid the (diarrhea) problems that intolerant individuals have with milk itself.

Thank you for the documentary! One comment from minute 14:35: The Scythians were of Iranian origin; they spoke a language which was a branch of the Iranian languages, and practiced a variant of ancient Iranian religion. Among the earliest peoples to master mounted warfare, the Scythians replaced the Cimmerians. The Sarmatians invading Scythians from the East are a Iranian confederation so relatives of Scythians. As far as I remember the Scythians remains are in today's Georgia and Saaka was a name of Scythian tribes.
Slight away from the topic of Ukraine, Scythians travelled as far as Scotland according to one famous document The Declaration Of Arbroath. When I look at faces of some people in Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia (Western), they would not look out of place here in Scotland, so who knows exactly what happened many years ago.

This is medieval garbage, at a time when European nobles declared famous ancestors for themselves and nothing else. The Poles and others did the same.
@@mr.purple1779 I do not want to interfere, but to the North-West of Romania, the border with Ukraine there were also Celts, that part being called Galicia their influence can be seen on the Maramures folklore were people dance standing straight much like the Irish dancers, and who knows? Maybe they mixed with Sarmatians, Celts being red-hair blue eyes.
3:00 : Reconstruction of individuals (Girl and Boy) from Sunghir burial from Vladimir (200 km from Moskow), they lived during the paleolithic 45000 years ago.
The Poles, Ukrainians, Belorussians and Russians living in the part of Russia near Ukraine and Belarus are all very closely related, and are living in or near to the original homeland of the Slavs before they spread out 15 centuries ago. After the spread of the Slavs 1500 years, initially they probably all spoke the same language and had the same religion and traditions, but over time, different parts of the Slavic world experienced different vowel and consonant shifts, and experienced different histories and influences. They converted to different forms of Christianity or to Islam. All these differences over 15 centuries is what caused the various Slavic people to differentiate into speaking different languages and having different religions and traditions. My understanding is that at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large portion of Ukrainians spoke Russian, and maybe after another hundred years the Ukrainians would have been assimilated. Ironically the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the recent invasion by Russia have strengthened Ukrainian Identity, so much that even many in the Russian minority are speaking Ukrainian and identifying themselves as Ukrainians.
I’m Ukrainian by genetics, both parents. Ukraine has a long history of being taken over by different nations, and yet the people maintained their cultural identity and their language through it all. Ukrainians are insanely stubborn, and do not play well with authoritarianism. But they are also smart, kind, loyal, and generous. Ukrainian women have true inner strength! No meek lasses there, lol. These are my personal observations of Ukrainian family and the friends my parents grew up with in Ukrainian communities in the US. I’d love to hear what others think, who also have experience with Ukrainians, lol. And according to this video, Ukrainians have enough of a unique genetic marker to differentiate them from Russians and the other surrounding nations.
@@Mulberrysmile Hi Ronnie...I would add that Ukraine is a large country by european standards. Going From west to east there are many layers of ukrainian identity westernmost probably closer to polish and easternmost to russian. That is also seen in religion,although vast majority of Ukrainians are orthodox christians there are at least 3 different groups,and in reality probably more,that all claim ukrainian identity yet fail to live together in peace sadly... As I allready mentioned in some of my comments even the wikipedia maps showing say language distribution and other diversities in this big beautifull country are so lying and simplifing that I am sure that this is someone else agenda-to clear all the past of Ukraine and put it only in post 1991 context. Sadly this led to war we are wittnesing
@@milanradovanovic3693 Don’t forget that when the USSR grabbed Ukraine, they destroyed books, banned the language, banned religion, and killed millions of Ukrainians, as well as shipping some off to prisons and then installed Russians into the region. Yet throughout that, the people maintained their language, even if they were forced to speak Russian for survival. I understand that some places have a large ethnic Russian background, and that the people self identify as Russian, but Ukraine didn’t invade and steal those places, they were given to Ukraine by treaty, which Putin has now broken, on top of waging a terrorist invasion deeper into Ukraine. Do not ignore that those Russian people in Ukraine could have been offered a life inside Russia, which would be cheaper than using the military and weapons for invading. It isn’t about the people…it is 100% about the territory using the people as a false justification. And I’d bet that the ethnic Russians haven’t been protected from destruction of their property, injury, or death in Putin’s mad push to claim what he wants. This genetic information shows that Ukrainians are Ukrainian and not Russians. They have maintained their culture and apparently their genetic distinction through centuries of political upheaval that changed their borders and ruling nation. Of course there has been cultural and genetic crossover, because love crosses all lines of political and cultural and genetic division. It is even necessary to maintain a healthy genetics. Any smallish closed population is going to run into genetic issues, eventually. And, yes, there is a lot of cultural crossover throughout Eastern European nations when you look at shared and similar words, traditional clothing, foods, celebration traditions. But archeology has shown that the symbols on pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) were used to decorate pottery, stone, and bone in what is still Ukrainian territory at least to 3 BC. Shells don’t hold up that long, so there isn’t a complete archeological record for the decorating of eggs. Further, archeology has very old finds of the existence of people in those territories, too. The Greek recorded legends of women warriors who rode on horses as archers…according to the story, they removed a breast to facilitate their skill. The legend is actually backed up with the discovery of a grave…a woman buried with her horse, the grave containing also finely worked jewelry depicting animals that are realistically wrought.
@@Mulberrysmile Literary everything that you said about Ukraine and Russia is bullshit, learning on CNN means dumbing itself. There are so many layers of Ukranian and Russian culture that only in religious matters there are like 5 orthodox churches... Keep learning and I suggest you Yankee to stick to post native American culture it is just about couple of hundred years old far more then your Limited view can handle... The one that put Lvov and say Sevastopol and Kharkiv into same cultural and genetic cluster is the one who has no idea about Ukraine and that kind span of diversities is way too much for him/her
So if we all came from Africa,(very recently in this context) when, how and why do we have people like say Scandinavians so different to Nigerians? My question will not be answered ( tried many times before)
Because prehistoric hominids then early Homo Sapiens settled from Africa. And Scandinavians are a hybrid of at least three types of Neolithic man who have not crossed before, thousands of years after Africa.
@@mr.purple1779 you are right. The early Europeans were dark skinned. I read that the light skin tone and blonde hair genes were from the eastern Siberians because their genes mutated to adapt their low vitamin D3 diet. And the lighter skin tone of today's Europeans are due to the mixing with the eastern Siberians.
@@wildschwein9066 I think the timeline for the Africa theory is complete bullshit. We know what Scandinavians looked like 2500 years ago - as they are today, mutations basically zero. If we did come from Africa I would suggest a vastly longer time ago
@@mr.purple1779 northern Asians have very light complexion. You can see very light to dark and everything in between complexions in China. But northern Chinese generally have lighter complexions, especially in the region bordering Russia, lighter than that of Korean women. And a lot of the native peoples of Siberia look just like northern Chinese.
I am 100% Ukrainian Jew. The village my great grandfather is from was re named during Soviet times, destroyed half by the nazis and now lies within the Chernobyl exclusion zone. I could never go back if I wanted to.
What DNA service did you use? The ones I used didn’t use Ukrainian Jew as a category. What’s interesting is that they told me the most likely city my ancestors came from was Ternopil. It didn’t really get too specific with country either, but general areas of Europe, then listed Jewish separately.
@@sethdekooters7567 I took the DNA test, and it came back Ukrainian with O% Jewish heritage. So it would seem that Jewish folks are not listed as Slavic people, I didn’t know they were considered Turkic people, but that seems to make geographical sense.
@@sethdekooters7567 it doesn't matter. We are talking about Ukrainians as a nation that includes people of any ethnicity. There are Ukrainians of Polish, Jewish, Crimean Tatar, German or Russian ethnicity who are loyal to the people of Ukraine and who have the right to be called Ukrainians.
So ucraina was first occupied by cumani: turco-mongol population. Then by russians which came from north startting with 9 century and then again by turco -mongols startting with 13 century. After mongol invasion the russians retreated to the north to poland region to belarus region and to Moscow region. And russian recovered sttartting with 18 and repopulated with people from russia, poland, hungary romania . So that why ucraina has a base population from russians and a additional population resulted from a mix of above populations.

It was fine till you got 3:00 minutes in talking about that old debunked theory of out of Africa bullshit! I could've watch then except you decide to show some light skinned version of supposed early Europeans. That's retarded,impossible and genetically disproven! Genetics actually show the opposite Caucasions actually have a separate beginning and the genetics show Sub-Saharan blacks do not share this until a later date.

Chronological correction. The Scythians arrived in the Steppes before the Sarmatians.
Ah it's just UkraNazi's propaganda. Where is Ukrainian kings and queens? They nation never exist before 1922. A lots of BS....
Sarmatians were part of the wider Scythian cultures.... (wikipedia)
They started migrating westward around the fourth and third centuries BC, coming to dominate the closely related Scythians by 200 BC.
The Canaanites were the original inhabitants of Canaan, a region that roughly corresponds to the borders of modern Israel. The Canaanites are mentioned in the Old Testament, as well as in cuneiform, Egyptian, and Phoenician writings from around the 15th century BCE.
According to ancient DNA analysis, the Canaanites were a mix of two populations:
Local farmers
About 50% of the Canaanites' genes came from local farmers who settled in the Levant around 10,000 years ago.
Earlier population
The other half of the Canaanites' genes came from an earlier population that was identified from skeletons found in Iran.
Genetic traits of the ancient Canaanites suggest that they looked similar to the Lebanese population today, but perhaps with a slightly darker skin tone.
According to the Bible, the Israelites conquered Canaan after leaving Egypt, and the Canaanites were the people they drove out of the land.
my maternal and paternal DNA
Persians, Turkic, Scandinavian and Slavic tribes combined and created modern day Ukranian culture.
Huns, Scythians, Khasars, Cuman/Kipchaks and Finno Ugric tribes still live there.
Ukraine is a precious corridor between West and East.
Farslarla ne ilgisi var yaw
Olbia, Chersonesos taurica, Tyras, Panticapaeum and more other ancient Turkish cities can be found in Ukraine my dear friend Attila 🤷♀️
Kind of interesting BS when some people trying to use genetics to justify the current events. There was no name of Ukraine till a couple of centuries ago, when the pro-Russian nationalists in Austro-Hungarian empire started to realize that they belong to Russian world (because Russian troops were marching to Paris in 1812-1815). Then it turned into a special case of Ukraine. And now things come to their origins. Russian regions of "Ukraine" returned to Mother Russia and more to come. 😁😁

It was a first brave attempt to write a REAL history of Ukraine as a proto- Europeans in many aspects. Naturally , this work was done not perfectly and contains many mistakes . If it was presented in Ukrainian I would find long list of such mistakes. The first obvious mistake is research for `russian` DNK as russian nation .First time today`s `russia` named itself with this word was at the beginning of 18th century ! That territory spoke on different languages , quite often not understanding each other ! ON maps it was named as Tartaria ,Moskovia etc. , but NEVER as Russia ! Word `russian ` didnt exist ! This ` nation` till now doesn`t have it`s own territory as the ethnos `russian` doesnt exist ! This is not an ethnic termin , but politic ! This `tric` was invented by Western historics ! Peter 1 hired them to write fake history as a new European empire history , which did not really exist ! That is why they had `stollen` name of Rus ( It is antic name of todays Ukraine) and `privatized` Ukrainian history together with the name of the Ukrainian country! Who`s DNK were you looking for ? Average russian have very little Slavic gens ! His DNK formed mostly from finno-ugr , turkish , Mongolian , northern Siberians peoples genome ! Exposure of this mystification became one of the reasons to start new russian zar actual EXISTENCIAL war against Ukraine ! Do you understand now the price of such s big mistake in one word ?
Putler doesn`t even hide his dream to eliminate Ukrainian people ! He claims it ! In his opinion only one russian people will survive ! OUR war is for that wrong word used in 300-year old political decision and this research too ! We don`t know yet quantity of killed Ukrainians , but we have already about 10 MILLIONS of emigrants from Ukraine ! What all our cities and villages look like all world already saw . Most of them COMPLEATLY depopulated and destroyed ! This is price for one fake word 300 years ago ! That is why I protest against such ` mistakes ` of Western historics before and nowadays ! Look who you hire and quote ! People , be watchful ! New ruscism wants your blood ,not only Ukrainian ! listen carefully what new moskovian furer already claimed in Europe in his Munich speech !
Most people appreciated visual presentation of this science-like video , but for me more important what ideas it promotes. In my opinion If author was not well informed and made has mistake not for a purpose video must be reconsidered and remastered I would recommend to author present his next video first to auditory of country he is talking about . I am obsoletely sure Ukrainian historscs know much more about their own country then foreigners . And yes , you must make it first in national language , and after discussion in Ukraine - in any other . This way you avoid many mistakes and get much more not only mass `likes` but respect and appreciation worldwide !
Please, don't confuse rus with russian, rus means belonging to Kyiv Rus (Ruthenia). And yes, coz moscovians stole thus name now they called similar.
@@_WitcH_888 I dsdn't confuse rus with russian, and yes , Rus has the only meaning of one of the antic names of the Ukrainian state with capital in Kyiv . ``Kiev Rus`` - one of the moscovian ideological ``invents`` to conpromise word Rus !

Well Ukraine has had many influences. Fighting has remained with all. Whether it’s the recognized Ukraine or the resistance. It’s about the East regions of Asia and the West. The Great Hoard had many attempts to conquer, but never have.

Historically, genetically and archaeologically, the Ukrainians are of Slavic origin, the territory of Ukraine was swarmed by Early Slavic material cultures, the Kiev, the Penkovka, the Kolochin, and even the Prague-Korchak cultures, the first Slavic state to emerge in recorded history was the Kingdom of the Antes, situated primarily in what is today's Ukraine. The Antes were an Early East Slavic nation.

It has nothing to do with "Ukraine" which is not a real nation, westerners. It is the story of Russia - the nation of ALL the Rus which includes Belarus and Ukraine! We are not talking about Slavic origins because the Poles, Czechs and Slovaks are also Slavic relatives, but were not a part of the RUS
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy Czechs 41% Haplogroup H,
Poles 15% Haplogroup H. purely Polish H4a 12%.
What this means, H group lived in Europe around 13,500 - 15,000 years ago. All R group lived in Europe only 12,000 years ago. Chechs. Slovaks and Poles are the same mixture of people. Rus Ukrainian are distantly related people. That's why 70% Poles does not poses old heritage more than 2,000 years. To figure that out from genetics and archaeology, one needs to study both.

22:35 Proto-Slovenic (Ukrainian) language evidently existed and was widely spread across Central and Eastern Europe on 448 AD, over a century before the Avar invasion, so the very idea of this border-guards-lingua-franca is completely nonsensical and ridiculously unsubstantiated.
What proto slovenic, you want to say proto slavic, why you invent new words? 😂😂😂, slavic peoples are not a old grup, they were formed between the mix of 2 cultures the balts and sarmatians, balts lived in north Ukraine(learn about Kolochin culture ,a balto slav culture) and sarmatians in south, these cultures influenced each other and formed slavs, look at slavic languages sound like a mix of baltic and sarmatian(iranic)with litle germanic influence, aslo north ukrainians look like baltic peoples(light haired ,light eyed,tall) southern look like south europeans ( dark features, medium height )slavic genes aslo not exist, R1a have many subclades and north ukrainians,balts,finnic peoples,belarussians and south russians have balto finnic subclade of R1a who is very high aslo in estonians,balts,karelians,mordvins etc and aslo N1 balto finnic who is high in baltic and finnic peoples but aslo belarussians and north ukrainians have a high percent but not so high like in finnic o baltic peoples, haplogrups have many subclades like R1b have celtic subclade,iberic, germanic and african(Camerun peoples are black peoples and have very high percent of R1b but have nonthing to do genetically similarity with european peoples like germans o irish, R1a is aslo high in central Asia and aslo in dravidians but the subclade is diferent , N1 is aslo high in samoyeds but they are total diferent from finns for example, I2 of balkan peoples is total diferent from I2 of sardinians etc slavs are just like latin peoples, diferent culture,mentality and genes
Balts lived from north Latvia to north Ukraine before slavs were formed
I do know that the Swedish Vikings had a formative influence in the creation of polities in the Ukraine region -these people used the Russian and Ukrainian rivers to make their way to the great city of Constantinople capital of the eastern Roman or Byzantine empire and in the process founded such cities as Kiev and many others ruling over a Slavic substrate.They were responsible for Ukraine/Russia converting to Orthodox Christianity and the names of the rulers like Waldemar and Olga betray Scandinavian origins.Often these people known as Varangians constituted the guards for the Byzantine emperors.One of the Kievan princesses (Anna) married the king of France and many others married into Hungarian and other European royal dynasties.
You must watch a new movie The Northman (2022) about the ancient culture of the Vikings and their invasion of Ukraine (in movie it is called the Slavic lands of Rus)
I show genetic links to Swedish Viking, Kievan Rus, Avar, Scythian burial sites. This makes sense.
Some evidence points to Variagi not being Swedish, but northern tribe of Rus, with strong Scandy ties.

Originating in the central parts of the Eurasian Steppe, the Sarmatians were part of the wider Scythian cultures.
The Scytho-Siberian world was an archaeological horizon which flourished across the entire Eurasian Steppe during the Iron Age from approximately the 9th century BC to the 2nd century AD.
It included the Scythian, Sauromatian and Sarmatian cultures of Eastern Europe, the Saka-Massagetae and Tasmola cultures of Central Asia, and the Aldy-Bel, Pazyryk and Tagar cultures of south Siberia.
They started migrating westward around the fourth and third centuries BC, coming to dominate the closely related Scythians by 200 BC.
At their greatest reported extent, around 100 BC, these tribes ranged from the Vistula River to the mouth of the Danube and eastward to the Volga, bordering the shores of the Black and Caspian seas as well as the Caucasus to the south.
Thank you for this very comprehensive information.

Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land.
The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus.
Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author.
Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate.
Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation..........

Talking about Slavic Russians, I would suggest comparing the map of Russia and the map of the settlement of the Slavs, It can be immediately seen that the Slavs there are little pebbles, more than 95% of the population of Russia are other nationalities and mostly Finno-Ugric people. In prehistoric times Finno-Ugric tribes inhabited a long belt stretching across northern Europe from the Urals through northern Scandinavia, reaching south to present-day Latvia.
To hide this fact, that is probably why it is not possible to find a map of the settlement of the Slavs in a large size, where the territories of Russia would be indicated in full. This is done so that no one compares ... And in Wikipedia in English there is not any information about Finno-Ugric tribe's settlement, just in Russian language and Ukrainian. It has been done on purpose to hide from Europeans that Russians are not Slavic, talking about percentage attitude.
The Finno-Ugrics were never of great importance in history, as they were generally ruled by Baltic, Slavic, Germanic and Turkic states.
@@papazataklaattiranimam I am talking about Russian genetic roots, not about Finno-Ugric importance in history. And in Wikipedia in English there is no information about the settlement of the Finno-Ugric tribes in Russia. When to click on the link to read about it in English in Russian article about the settlement of Finno-Ugric tribes, a completely different article pops up - not about the settlement of Finno-Ugric tribes, but about the spread of the Ugro-Finnish language. In other words, information about the resettlement of Finno-Ugric tribes exists only in Russian and Ukrainian languages. This was done on purpose to hide from Europeans that Russians are not Slavs in percentage attitude. Just do some extra research and you can see that Slavic trace in Russia is pretty weak. Russian have taken a lot from slavic cultureб especially slavic language, just because it was dominated at that time. It is like many people in Idia now speak English, but it doesn't mean that they are Anglo-Saxons.

Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:
Rus’ ought not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’.
Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.
Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”.
Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’.
In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership.
“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.
Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!
Everything about current Russian state is fake. They steal identities and culture from other countries & call it their own. This article did not mention Ukrainian lands were deep in western Russia and that Russians were forced to occupy southeastern Ukraine less than a century ago. Very little mention that Muscovites were predominately Finnic-Urgic and intermarried with the Mongol hoarde who founded Muscovy in the 1200s. These outlets that write about Ukraine history should research Ukraine's version, if they want the truth. Putin being a Slav is about same chance as my Italian neighbour.
Russia did not exist then, Russia is not a Slavic country, Russia appeared in 1721 and there was no Russia in those wars, look at the map, when Kievan Rus was baptized in Kyiv in 988, then even Moscow did not exist, it was founded 159 years later.
The word Ukraine is essentially an analogue of the term inland, inland, center, that is, Rus, and according to the annals, this is the middle Dnieper region, it is there that there are the rivers Ros, Rosavka, Rosava, Rostavitsa and a bunch of villages with the same names, and in the west there is the city of Rava Ruska , Ruska and not Russian) also in the east there is the village of Ruska Lozova, and down the Dnieper River Ruska Polyana, there is also Ruska Ternova, Ruska Tishki, etc., the village of Rosava, etc., there is Rumunia right near the border of Ukraine the village of Ruska Polyana, too, 90% of Ukrainians live there. Therefore, Ukrainians are Russ, Ruthenians, Ruthenians, but since Kievan Rus collapsed after 1240, it was necessary to create an analogue of a new name for the lands that were Rus and the lands that belonged to Rus, and this is in conditions when there is a horde in the northeast, which confuses concepts, namely this horde invented the adjective word Russians, which they called different tribes of the Fino-Ugro-Taro-Mongol. As for why Russia took the Roman name of Russia, this is also a separate story, Russia has always stolen the history and heritage of foreign states, then it fought for the right to be the main heir to Rus, after the collapse of Rus itself became part of the Golden Horde and fought for the right to be its main heir, but the Crimean Khanate won there, then Moscow fought for the right to be the main heir to Byzantium and may have heard how they called Moscow 3 Rome, they created Kleinods supposedly theirs with fake letters for Monomakh's hats, etc., and Byzantium called itself the Roman Empire type 2 from Rome and the Roman Empire, which they gnawed in the west, here Russia, too, taking history, following the example of Byzantium, decided to take the history of Russia, but it could not be called Russia directly; another, now Russia has decided to go to war and steal the history of Russia by twisting, this is one of the reasons to go to war with Ukraine.
Russia wants to Steal the history of Kievan Rus in Ukraine, this is a small part of why Russia attacked, Russia also wants to restore the Soviet Union and wants Ukrainians to survive again under Russian repression, Russia deported Ukrainians, made famines, threw Ukrainians into foreign wars like Finland in 1939. If the Ukrainians do not have their own separate state, then I assure you, Russia will start throwing Ukrainians at war in Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. If they fight back to help Ukraine, then Russia will go further with a war on other countries. Ukraine is the only country that can stop Russia and destroy Russia as a Soviet Union so that it no longer goes to war.
Basically Russian mean the Muscovites (of Orthodox Religion and Mongol Law) which claimed the title of "Third Rome" and the Destiny of uniting the Ruthenians under this new identity : which explain concepts like Velikaya Rossiya and Malorossiya.
It’s a Panslavic Orthodox and Mongol-Despotic Identity.

where can we see the video from the beginning with the riding women on horseback please??
Ukrainians ancestors were a mixture of Slavic tribes, Sarmatians, and Scythians (not Fenno-ugry). Cossak's outfits were the same as Sarmatians or Scythian outfit, Ukrainian language contains a lot of scythian grammar structure, a lot of geographic names in Ukraine are scythian. Just look at the map of Great Scythia, it's Ukrainian land. A lot of Ukrainian culture contains Sarmatian and Scythian things if we get in detail of Ukrainian customs, believes, the way like Ukrainians even lead wars, they treat women or women position in Ukrainian society we can find a lot of in common with ancient cultures, existed in the lands of contemporary Ukraine such as Scythia and Sarmatia.
Ukrainians are Slavic peoples not Scythian of course also the word Cossack has Turkic origins their warrior culture is Turkic too.
@@papazataklaattiranimam There is an opinion that there is a Turkish trace in the clothes of the Cossacks, but the Scythians lived not only on the territory of Ukraine but partly on the territory of Turkey, and it was just a common type of clothing among the Scythian and Sarmatian tribes.
@@papazataklaattiranimam I would also like to say that, like England, for example, Ukraine is multi-layered, it is not only Slavs but before them, there were Scythians and Sarmatians. Just as England has Britons in its genome first, then the Anglo-Saxons (Anglo-Saxons), then the Normans (the Normans), Ukraine created its genetic code from a mixture of Slavs, Scythians and Sarmatians. One can even trace how the cultural heritage of the Scythians (by the way, they were people of European appearance) permeated everything Ukrainian. First of all, the geographical names of rivers, lakes, valleys, and cities very often have roots in the Scythian language. The Ukrainian language itself has a lot of Scythian language grammar.
The Scythians were distinguished by the fact that they were famous for good archers. Ukrainian artillery is one of the best in the world. In addition, the attitude towards a woman is something that was transmitted from the Scythians and Sarmatians, among whom it was common when a woman was a warrior too. If you dig deeper into the history before the Slavs, you can find an almost modern Ukrainian in his approach to freedom, election, attitude towards women, and attitude towards life. Even the Bible mentions the Scythians because they were famous for being honest warriors whom the Greeks hired to guard various objects.
@@SundayUk It's the same as saying Latins are Etruscan or Austrians are Celtic. I don't understand why you're obsessed with these two extinct peoples when Slavic history is much more powerful and influential. Also the existence of some common words in Ukrainian and Scythian is due to common Indo-European words. Both Scythians/Sarmatians and Slavs firstly emerged in the Yamnaya culture.

The mongols brought about possibly the most brutal era mankind has ever known. They committed mass genocide that was possibly even greater than Hitler. And what’s worse is they got away with it without any accountability. That’s why it’s worse than Hitler. Hitler and his cronies had to face the consequences of their actions. The mongols never did. The amount of people they murdered is so vast it’s hard to count. But, the relatively sparse populations today over lands they once conquered I believe is attributed to their brutal methods of conquest.

25:55 There was no such country as «Kievan Rus», this anti-historical term was fabricated by Muscovite propaganda in order to introduce even more anti-historical terms such as «North-Eastern Rus» or «Muscovite Rus» which never existed. Rhos, Rosia, Ruscia, Ruthenia, Russia or Rusь (839-1434) was a medieval kingdom situated in northwestern Ukraine, in between the Vistula and Dnieper rivers.

Q: Literally it was no word Ukraine...

Q: Rusins in polish...

I'm interested in the Principality of Halych. It's one of the predecessors of Ukraine, which is a 20th century phenomenon.
There is a town called Halych in Ukraine
Galychyna-Volyn principality existed from 1199 to 1349. At the head of the state were the princes of three dynasties - Rurikovych, Piast and Gedyminovych. Before the formation of a single state, the principalities of Galychyna and Volyn existed independently.
Initially, the Galychyna principality was more powerful, which happened as a result of the skillful and intelligent policy of Prince Volodymyr and his son, Prince Yaroslav. He also took care of the Galychyna principality's diplomatic relations with other states.
Unlike the Galychyna principality, Volyn state was initially represented by a large number of small principalities separated from each other. Only Prince Roman Mstyslavovych managed to unite the disparate principalities into a single Volyn, and it was on his initiative that Galychyna joined the Volyn principality. This is how the powerful Galychyna-Volyn state was formed. In 1239, Danylo Romanovych annexed the lands of Kyiv to the Galychyna-Volyn state. And after the attack of the Mongol-Tatars, he was forced to pay tribute to them. At the same time, it gave him peace and confidence that the Golden Horde would not raid the lands of his state. However, Danylo Halytsky was not going to obey the Mongol-Tatars and did the following: concluded an agreement with the king of Hungary; agreed with the Pope about a crusade against the Mongol-Tatars; built new cities (Lviv and Kholm were formed during this period); organized troops; made fortifications of old cities. Prince Yuriy II Boleslav became the last prince of the Galychyna-Volyn state. The Lithuanian Lyubart, the son-in-law of the predecessor, entered the throne of the Galychyna-Volyn state. Thus, the Principality of Galychyna-Volyn ceased to exist and became part of the Principality of Lithuania. After that, the Polish king Casimir the Great started a fight for these lands. In 1349, Casimir the Great seized parts of Galychyna and annex these lands to Poland. In the 1340s, the so-called Lithuanian-Polish period in history began, when most of the lands of Rus were united by the Lithuanian dynasty into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Rus and Zhemaitia, but Galychyna and western part of Volyn became part of Poland.

Hilariously, on 16:30 the displayed photo is of Armenian participants at Eurovision 2015😊
Well put together. Got a chance to see and learn about the History of that region as a whole. God bless
I have long been fascinated by the development of culture and the movements of peoples throughout that region. Thank you for this piece!
ALL THIS IS FAKKE!!!!! why do yo show Russians a say that they are ukraniane? why you mix JEWS with khazars?
Fun fact: Ukraine is older than Russia.
How?
According to what measure or set of parameters?
@@anneslot7013Ukraine is ~400 years older than Russia.
@@scyphe again how?
No one knows why and how .. they want you to believe it.. so just say "ok"
28:20 There was no Moscow in 1238 to burn, this Tatar town was founded circa 1272, under Mengu-Timur.
Moscow was founded in 1147.
Wow you go back 100,000 years!
What a history!!!
Maybe worth clarifying that the word 'rus' (derived from the Swedish word meaning 'men who row'), was simply what the Slavic people called Rurik and his Swedish vikings, since they used oars on their longboat on the rivers. Thus, not to be confused with today's use of 'Rus'-sia.
The Slavic tribes in the north offered Rurik the settlement of Novgorod in 879 AD in exchange for his protection against various treats from nomadic tribes from the east. After his dead three years later, his brother-in-law, Helgi expanded his realm, and captured Kiev, which was the hold of another viking chieftain, and when they settled in Kiev, they became known as the Kiev Rus. They were the ruling class and will have a significant influence on the Ukrainian history in coming years all over the region.
This is an outdated "Norman" theory of Rus(sia) is not confirmed by modern science of Paleo-genetics. Norman genes are 4% in Rus(sia) areas. In Ukraine Galychyna (Lviv) much more 18%. No surprise as the area was occupied by Poland, then AustroHungarians centuries.
@@taniatarasova4157no, all the historical records point to a Swedish origin of the foundation of what are now Russia and Ukraine. Olga, Igor aren't native names, they're Helga and Ingvar.
The interpretation of the meaning of Russia given by people who forgot where it came from doesn't mean Russia doesn't come from Rus, or "men who row". If I remember right, the Russian idea is that the name comes from the color red or something like that
ruscists stole that name as usual
@@cezar211091 No. twenty years ago I studied at a Russian school and we accepted the Norman theory as a fact. And the word Rus' was called from the word Ruthenia. I hasten to disappoint you if you are a Russophobe, but in Russia they rely on historical sources. What cannot be said about Ukraine
Could you do Poland next?
polish histroy is fake propaganda of imperialism
I’m of Ukrainian origin. I didn’t know my culture was so old and diverse.
Shame shame! Always loved my Ukrainian origins. My grandparents were Ukrainian. Had much fun celebrating Easter Ukrainian style yet in high school people would say " oh you are Russian" I would say " No it is not Russian! My cousin recently was saying that. Now she has learned!
It is not. It is a myth invented not long ago. People like to believe in those. Makes them feel mor important.
Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:
Rus’ ought not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’.
Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.
Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”.
Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’.
In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership.
“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.
Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!
@@pirshinstudio2117 cope vatnik
@@pirshinstudio2117 well, actually people can't judge the culture of someone, because everyone has a an ancient culture such Greeks for example. Our origin comes partly from Trziniec and komarov cultures, due to archaeological, genetics and linguistic analysis.
I wonder what was censored in the beginning
Constantinople was main trade partner of Kyivan Rus
at St. Peter Basilica , Vatican, Italy at Chapel is to the right of the main altar of the Basilica you can find "Saint" Vladimir or Wladimir the "Great" and Trident. He is holding a staff with a cross (an emblem denoting he converted Ukrainians to Byzantium Christian Orthodoxy). Also depicted is the St. Sophia cathedral standing in Kyiv or Kiev (Vladimir's mother was called so and convinced him to introduce Christianity)
Ukrainians ? You mean Russians.. because in "Ουκρανοί" ( Ukrainians) are not mentioned anywhere in Byzantine documents.. but there are some guys called "Ρώσοι".. try to translate "Ρώσοι" in you language
Even in the days of the Trypil culture, cities on the territory of Ukraine had 10,000 inhabitants each. At the time when about 1 million people lived in Europe, these were megacities. So the Vikings came to ready-made cities. Before that, there was a small handful of them that assimilated after 2 generations. The first time a person sat on a horse was also on the territory of Ukraine, because it was here that the oldest horse skull with characteristic damage to the teeth was found. The oldest figurine of a wagon with wheels also comes from Ukraine. There was no Kievan Rus, this is a later invention of Russian pseudo-historians. There was simply Rus, which was located in Kyiv and its surroundings, everything else, incl. the European part of modern Russia - these were colonial conquered lands. You don't say that you created the British Empire together with the Inus, for example. The difference between Hindus and Finno-Ugric whites is that Hindus are more developed and civilized. And the Finno-Ugric people of that time only got out of the Stone Age thanks to the Ukrainian Ruthenians, that is, until that time, not a single metal object was found on that territory. Also, the ancient Ukrainians tried to Christianize them. But, as we can see, modern Russians have not yet mastered Christian morality.
And Jesus and the Virgin Mary were Ukrainians and Ukrainians dug up the Black Sea and the Pacific Ocean 😂
Don’t hate on the Finns, we took all the indo-European women in the north, and now Finland is one of the best places to live in the world.
There is such a division of history called archaeology. And this is one of the most accurate subdivisions of historical science.
Damn, what kind of “ancient Ukrainians” are you talking about if the first ethnic Ukrainians appeared only in the 1860s? Until this time, there is not a single historical source where Ukrainians were mentioned.
Excellent visuals! It was the primer to the missing piece in my study of ancestral lineage. When are you going to publish a book?
Wow, such a rich, complicated and fairly bloody history of Ukraine and its people. Had no idea that the genetics were so diverse but it figures due to their geographic location. Thanks.
I think all of our histories are bloody. It is in our nature to fight over resources, religion and power.
90% of this video has nothing to do with Ukraine. Ukraine is a 20th century construct.
The only thing, before 16th century population of that area never heard about "Ukraine" and called themselves "Russians". Ukraine in all Slavic languages has only one meaning- periphery. No people in the history called themselves "peripheral people". That is demeaning
Thankyou for sharing that. I'm still learning about this very diverse and historically rich area of the world.
@@paulking54 You seem to be a nice guy, so I'll give you a similar example. There is a region in the Balkans called Krajina, that was also a construct between two empires, the Habsburg and the Ottoman empire. The region was ethnically Slavic so you can see the similarity (Ukraina = Kraina), the meaning is the same like Victor explained.
I have immigrant grandparents from Poland and Ukraine. My DNA specifically singles out both Polish and Ukrainian DNA. None of it is called Russian. The eastern Poland area of my grandmother is now part of western Ukraine. Their villages were only 100 miles apart. But the DNA makes the distinction very clearly.
@@SIB314 And yet my DNA shows my ancestors and current DNA relatives are located in the countries of Poland and Ukraine.
Great information ❤️ thank you very much
Kind of interesting BS when some people trying to use genetics to justify the current events. There was no name of Ukraine till a couple of centuries ago, when the pro-Russian nationalists in Austro-Hungarian empire started to realize that they belong to Russian world (because Russian troops were marching to Paris in 1812-1815). Then it turned into a special case of Ukraine. And now things come to their origins. Russian regions of "Ukraine" returned to Mother Russia and more to come. 😁😁
You make it appear as if Moldova was part of the Ukraine which it never was it was taken by Stalin from Romania after the 2nd world war a was Basarabia the population in spite of ethnic cleansing and forced emigration is still majority romanian speaking their ancient latin not slavic language it was ana independent kingdom paying tribute at different times to various neighboring powers but the Ukraine did not exist as a country a such and Moldova and Basarabia were never part of it until stolen by Stalin to this day then population is denied its right of education in their own language. Your video is slanted and passes quickly over many important historical periods including the khazars
Russia did not exist then, Russia is not a Slavic country, Russia appeared in 1721 and there was no Russia in those wars, look at the map, when Kievan Rus was baptized in Kyiv in 988, then even Moscow did not exist, it was founded 159 years later.
The word Ukraine is essentially an analogue of the term inland, inland, center, that is, Rus, and according to the annals, this is the middle Dnieper region, it is there that there are the rivers Ros, Rosavka, Rosava, Rostavitsa and a bunch of villages with the same names, and in the west there is the city of Rava Ruska , Ruska and not Russian) also in the east there is the village of Ruska Lozova, and down the Dnieper River Ruska Polyana, there is also Ruska Ternova, Ruska Tishki, etc., the village of Rosava, etc., there is Rumunia right near the border of Ukraine the village of Ruska Polyana, too, 90% of Ukrainians live there. Therefore, Ukrainians are Russ, Ruthenians, Ruthenians, but since Kievan Rus collapsed after 1240, it was necessary to create an analogue of a new name for the lands that were Rus and the lands that belonged to Rus, and this is in conditions when there is a horde in the northeast, which confuses concepts, namely this horde invented the adjective word Russians, which they called different tribes of the Fino-Ugro-Taro-Mongol. As for why Russia took the Roman name of Russia, this is also a separate story, Russia has always stolen the history and heritage of foreign states, then it fought for the right to be the main heir to Rus, after the collapse of Rus itself became part of the Golden Horde and fought for the right to be its main heir, but the Crimean Khanate won there, then Moscow fought for the right to be the main heir to Byzantium and may have heard how they called Moscow 3 Rome, they created Kleinods supposedly theirs with fake letters for Monomakh's hats, etc., and Byzantium called itself the Roman Empire type 2 from Rome and the Roman Empire, which they gnawed in the west, here Russia, too, taking history, following the example of Byzantium, decided to take the history of Russia, but it could not be called Russia directly; another, now Russia has decided to go to war and steal the history of Russia by twisting, this is one of the reasons to go to war with Ukraine.
Russia wants to Steal the history of Kievan Rus in Ukraine, this is a small part of why Russia attacked, Russia also wants to restore the Soviet Union and wants Ukrainians to survive again under Russian repression, Russia deported Ukrainians, made famines, threw Ukrainians into foreign wars like Finland in 1939. If the Ukrainians do not have their own separate state, then I assure you, Russia will start throwing Ukrainians at war in Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. If they fight back to help Ukraine, then Russia will go further with a war on other countries. Ukraine is the only country that can stop Russia and destroy Russia as a Soviet Union so that it no longer goes to war.

to say that Ukraine did not exist, but Moldova existed... Ukraine and its civilization existed much earlier and saved Moldova from the attack of Russia and looking at the maps of Ukraine and Moldova... No matter how Ukraine was called Scythia or the Kingdom of Ants or Kievan Rus in those days , but all the same their statehood existed on the world map and was much larger than the current Moldova, which was part of Romania and, for example, during the time of the Scythians or the Kiev movement, then Moldova did not exist at all, Ukrainians of the Kiev movement walked there and did not notice anything about Byzantium, but now... Now Ukraine protects you from Russia and if it did not protect you, there would be no Moldovans again, Russia would capture Moldova in 3 hours and join it first to Transnistria, and then to Russia, and you need to kiss the feet of the Ukrainians for the fact that they protect you from the occupation of Russia, and you can't even bring Transnistria under control, but wait for Ukraine to figure everything out. I hope that Transnistria will be Ukraine, many Ukrainians live there, and you do not want to help Ukraine and take away this Russian piece so that Ukraine is not surrounded. I hope the Ukrainians will then hold a referendum in Transnistria and Wong will join the Odesa region, you Moldovans are a very ungrateful people, the Ukrainians gave you access to the sea, and you say that Ukraine did not exist... study history.
Is it true that Netanjahu and Lieberman lived in Chisina?
Good comment btw..
@@mykolaj1110 "you Moldovans are a very ungrateful people, the Ukrainians gave you access to the sea" .You put the ball in Putin's net thinking like the Russian: what's mine is mine, what's yours is also mine. First of all, you are defending yourself, even if we have the same interest, it is not normal to look down on me, and if you think that all the territories of Kievan Rus belong to you by right, that is your business.How do you mean that you gave us access to the sea when Bugeacul was Romanian and therefore Moldovan territory until the miserable peace of San Stefano and Berlin when the Russians annexed it even though the Romanians and therefore Moldovans saved them from a shameful defeat giving them Dobrogea, an underdeveloped region at that time that they just didn't give it from them but from the Turks. Now you also want Transnistria without anything in exchange! These ungrateful Moldovans, therefore Romanians, will help you do business so that you don't get defeated. Maybe you want them to be grateful like the Poles, right? Maybe it was a Russian troll, the Moldovans, not the Transnistrians, support the Ukrainian state.
Very interesting but doesn't quite tie in with the last history I read about Ukraine. So I think there is some difference of opinion about who-did-what between those of Ukraine history & those of Russian history. Nevertheless at least we can say that Ukraine has been a defined entity since at least the 9th century AD. Another point made in the other history I read was that Moscow was a tiny village when Kyiv was long established as a city on the ancient Silk Road. To me it is apparent that Russia (altho that name derives from the Rus people - who were in Ukraine ) has zero ownership claim to Ukraine !
Political mumbo-jumbo
@@matthelme4967 Kyiv is much much older then Moscow so it is a fact
@@ravenglebsky9404 yes,but what is your point?
Ukrainian called themselves ruthenians, their country Rus. Moscovian Kingdom stole this name , Russian meant Rus in greek (not sure). Real ruthenians couldn't protect themselves because their kingdom was destroyed bo Horde.
@@dagnytaggart2027 the rutheni were a different tribe from the rusi. Looks like there is some politically motivated conflation of facts going on.

Unfortunately many misconseptions or historical clishes in this video. Everything is mixed and sounds like being very complicated without essentially clarifying what is the real history, especially genetic history.
Thanks for the historical information and it’s amazing history.
Good job! My best regards!
This is very interesting and objective (non-Eurocentric) overview of Ukraine history and ancestry of peoples living here. Only I am disappointed that quite a large and influential nation of Kipchaks (Polovtsy) was not mentioned here even though they meddled in Kievan Russ history a lot before arrival of the Mongols, they even took Kiev in the 12th century. After that the Golder Horde wasn't there for 2 centuries only. Nogai and Crimean Khanates occupied the southern Ukraine until the the end of the 18th century.
Great work!
new friend here keep safe Ukrainian 😘😘😘😘
You're making a mistake that a lot of people make; conflating culture with genetics. One is not necessarily an indication of the other.

Lactase is an enzyme and digests. Lactose (milk sugar) is a carbohydrate and is the substrate digested by lactase. Baby mammals produce lactase to enable them to drink their mother's milk (lactose, in addition to being energy, also seems to help shuttle Calcium cations accross the gut, which may be why glucose isn't the milk sugar). Only those with lactase persistence can still digest lactose and therefore milk in adulthood, though microbes can sometimes take up the slack, and some fermented milk products avoid the (diarrhea) problems that intolerant individuals have with milk itself.
23:15 This dirty Muscovite abode with unbleached Muscovite walls and the early modern Muscovite samovar inside the late medieval Finno-Ugric stove has nothing to do with the early medieval Slovenic housing, not speaking of the Ukrainian one, meaning the choice of photo here is fundamentally wrong.

Very educational and enlightening. Thank you!
Thank you for the documentary! One comment from minute 14:35: The Scythians were of Iranian origin; they spoke a language which was a branch of the Iranian languages, and practiced a variant of ancient Iranian religion. Among the earliest peoples to master mounted warfare, the Scythians replaced the Cimmerians. The Sarmatians invading Scythians from the East are a Iranian confederation so relatives of Scythians.
As far as I remember the Scythians remains are in today's Georgia and Saaka was a name of Scythian tribes.
Slight away from the topic of Ukraine, Scythians travelled as far as Scotland according to one famous document The Declaration Of Arbroath.
When I look at faces of some people in Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia (Western), they would not look out of place here in Scotland, so who knows exactly what happened many years ago.

Great stuff but a bit busy. Can you break it down please. Condensed version.
3:00 : Reconstruction of individuals (Girl and Boy) from Sunghir burial from Vladimir (200 km from Moskow), they lived during the paleolithic 45000 years ago.
The Poles, Ukrainians, Belorussians and Russians living in the part of Russia near Ukraine and Belarus are all very closely related, and are living in or near to the original homeland of the Slavs before they spread out 15 centuries ago. After the spread of the Slavs 1500 years, initially they probably all spoke the same language and had the same religion and traditions, but over time, different parts of the Slavic world experienced different vowel and consonant shifts, and experienced different histories and influences. They converted to different forms of Christianity or to Islam. All these differences over 15 centuries is what caused the various Slavic people to differentiate into speaking different languages and having different religions and traditions. My understanding is that at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large portion of Ukrainians spoke Russian, and maybe after another hundred years the Ukrainians would have been assimilated. Ironically the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the recent invasion by Russia have strengthened Ukrainian Identity, so much that even many in the Russian minority are speaking Ukrainian and identifying themselves as Ukrainians.
I’m Ukrainian by genetics, both parents. Ukraine has a long history of being taken over by different nations, and yet the people maintained their cultural identity and their language through it all. Ukrainians are insanely stubborn, and do not play well with authoritarianism. But they are also smart, kind, loyal, and generous. Ukrainian women have true inner strength! No meek lasses there, lol.
These are my personal observations of Ukrainian family and the friends my parents grew up with in Ukrainian communities in the US.
I’d love to hear what others think, who also have experience with Ukrainians, lol.
And according to this video, Ukrainians have enough of a unique genetic marker to differentiate them from Russians and the other surrounding nations.
But the study cited if very small
@@Mulberrysmile Hi Ronnie...I would add that Ukraine is a large country by european standards. Going From west to east there are many layers of ukrainian identity westernmost probably closer to polish and easternmost to russian. That is also seen in religion,although vast majority of Ukrainians are orthodox christians there are at least 3 different groups,and in reality probably more,that all claim ukrainian identity yet fail to live together in peace sadly...
As I allready mentioned in some of my comments even the wikipedia maps showing say language distribution and other diversities in this big beautifull country are so lying and simplifing that I am sure that this is someone else agenda-to clear all the past of Ukraine and put it only in post 1991 context. Sadly this led to war we are wittnesing
@@milanradovanovic3693
Don’t forget that when the USSR grabbed Ukraine, they destroyed books, banned the language, banned religion, and killed millions of Ukrainians, as well as shipping some off to prisons and then installed Russians into the region. Yet throughout that, the people maintained their language, even if they were forced to speak Russian for survival.
I understand that some places have a large ethnic Russian background, and that the people self identify as Russian, but Ukraine didn’t invade and steal those places, they were given to Ukraine by treaty, which Putin has now broken, on top of waging a terrorist invasion deeper into Ukraine. Do not ignore that those Russian people in Ukraine could have been offered a life inside Russia, which would be cheaper than using the military and weapons for invading. It isn’t about the people…it is 100% about the territory using the people as a false justification. And I’d bet that the ethnic Russians haven’t been protected from destruction of their property, injury, or death in Putin’s mad push to claim what he wants.
This genetic information shows that Ukrainians are Ukrainian and not Russians. They have maintained their culture and apparently their genetic distinction through centuries of political upheaval that changed their borders and ruling nation. Of course there has been cultural and genetic crossover, because love crosses all lines of political and cultural and genetic division. It is even necessary to maintain a healthy genetics. Any smallish closed population is going to run into genetic issues, eventually.
And, yes, there is a lot of cultural crossover throughout Eastern European nations when you look at shared and similar words, traditional clothing, foods, celebration traditions. But archeology has shown that the symbols on pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) were used to decorate pottery, stone, and bone in what is still Ukrainian territory at least to 3 BC. Shells don’t hold up that long, so there isn’t a complete archeological record for the decorating of eggs. Further, archeology has very old finds of the existence of people in those territories, too. The Greek recorded legends of women warriors who rode on horses as archers…according to the story, they removed a breast to facilitate their skill. The legend is actually backed up with the discovery of a grave…a woman buried with her horse, the grave containing also finely worked jewelry depicting animals that are realistically wrought.
@@Mulberrysmile Literary everything that you said about Ukraine and Russia is bullshit, learning on CNN means dumbing itself. There are so many layers of Ukranian and Russian culture that only in religious matters there are like 5 orthodox churches... Keep learning and I suggest you Yankee to stick to post native American culture it is just about couple of hundred years old far more then your Limited view can handle...

So if we all came from Africa,(very recently in this context) when, how and why do we have people like say Scandinavians so different to Nigerians? My question will not be answered ( tried many times before)

@@mr.purple1779 you are right. The early Europeans were dark skinned.

thats really sad :(
What DNA service did you use? The ones I used didn’t use Ukrainian Jew as a category. What’s interesting is that they told me the most likely city my ancestors came from was Ternopil. It didn’t really get too specific with country either, but general areas of Europe, then listed Jewish separately.
Jews are not Ukrainians. They are Turkic converts to Judaism from the 6th century AD and not ethnic Ukrainians who are Slavic peoples.
@@sethdekooters7567 I took the DNA test, and it came back Ukrainian with O% Jewish heritage. So it would seem that Jewish folks are not listed as Slavic people, I didn’t know they were considered Turkic people, but that seems to make geographical sense.
@@sethdekooters7567 it doesn't matter. We are talking about Ukrainians as a nation that includes people of any ethnicity. There are Ukrainians of Polish, Jewish, Crimean Tatar, German or Russian ethnicity who are loyal to the people of Ukraine and who have the right to be called Ukrainians.
So ucraina was first occupied by cumani: turco-mongol population. Then by russians which came from north startting with 9 century and then again by turco -mongols startting with 13 century. After mongol invasion the russians retreated to the north to poland region to belarus region and to Moscow region. And russian recovered sttartting with 18 and repopulated with people from russia, poland, hungary romania . So that why ucraina has a base population from russians and a additional population resulted from a mix of above populations.
