Hey Artur, good to hear from one of the channel’s OG subscribers! 🙌 And without a doubt, Novgorod would make for a great episode. Personally, I find it really interesting how so much of the Republic’s territory was between Lake Onega and the Urals - basically along the Arctic Ocean’s coast; although, I know the major economic hubs with the Hanseatic League were back west.
Both parts of the videos contain quite a bit of inaccuracies... For example, if the uprising of 1343-45 took place on the island of Saaremaa/Ösel, which at the time belonged to the german bishop, then how would that concern the danes and why would the king of Denmark sell their Northern-Estonian lands a year later? The main events of that uprising took place elsewhere and were indeed incredibly significant. This is just an example, but the maps and info about these events are easily available, which makes these mistakes quite annoying...
The opening black and white movie scenes are from Sergei Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky, correct? I was recently doing a deep dive on some classic film history and I instantly recognized some of those scenes.
Cool! It is also important to note that the danish support had been reduced to half due to conflicts of interest between the danish king and the nobility at the time.
For a moment I thought you were talking about the Danish Civil Wars, but I was off by a couple hundred years there. 😅 Honestly, there’s a lot I’d like to explore in regards to Scandinavian history - the Kalmar Union has been on my list for a while now!
Thanks man; I think you’ll find our next regular video pretty interesting too! It’s the first one we had our community pick way back when and we’re kind of changing our map style. 🗺
Thank you so much Tina; we’ll actually be changing up the map style a bit in our next regular, which also takes place in South Asia - a part of the world we haven’t covered so far.
I’m glad someone commented on the name, because we actually went back and forth a bit with this! 😅 Basically, what you said here is what we eventually found out too.
Moscow horde´s war record :- 1856 defeated by Britain and France 1905 defeated by Japan 1917 defeated by Germany 1920 defeated by Poland, Finland, Estonia and all Baltic states 1939 defeated by Finland 1969 defeated by China 1989 defeated by Afghanistan 1989 defeated in the Cold War. 1996 defeated by Chechnya 2022 defeated by Ukraine WW2 won USA/Britain , meanwhile Stalin's officers were shot or sent to the Gulags. Millions went to the Gulags, including Solzhenitsyn Moscow's only victories come from invading smaller countries :- a) Hungary 1956 b) Czechoslovakia 1968 c) Moldova 1992 d) Georgia 2008
1940 - Finland signed peace treaty and ceded all claimed lands to the USSR. 1945 - Manchurian offense operation, that lead to fall of Japanese Empire, due to seizure of their resource-material base in Manchuria and Korea. 1969 - Chinese troops haven't seized Damansky island. 1989 - the same way in 2021 America was "defeated" 2004 - won second Chechen war 2022 - battle is still ongoing, so you cannot say what side will win. It was funny to hear schizophrenic thoughts about USSR didn't won WW2.

The best thing bout the Order’s invasion of Novgorod was the absolute MASTERPIECE movie we got out of it.
Awesome! The Novogrod Republic would also be a great "ghost country" to cover, wouldn't it?
Yes, it really would

In 11 minutes you manage to convey more information, statistics and great graphics than I could ever hope to grasp from dozens of books!

while saaremaa is nowadays called saaremaa, it did used to be called just ösel

Было бы странно если в комментариях под этим видео не было бы шизофреника с "его собственным" виденьем истории.

Thanks! Your pfp reminds me, we definitely have plans to cover some ghost countries from the Roman period.
