1:50 bullshit "cossacks" means all population with free of will, lived on border empire, exactly Khabarov and Yermak borned in border of contemporary Arkhangelsk oblast , lands with russian ethnic majority. cossacks in this contecst was social strata called "Ushkuyniks" free people of 14-15 cen. organaised in "bands"moving by lightweight boats and atacks lokals for loot like vikings in 12 cen.
The author, the Russians came from the territory of modern Sweden and have the right to claim these historical lands, but here is a propagandist freak who deliberately distorts one information, and decided to keep silent about the other completely.

@@MrVeryfrost Research hidden history of Tartaria and you undersand why Russia started from California to Asia. So much rewritten history and even here they don't say how it is.
Ahh alaska you know many russians regret selling it not only because of the recources but also because it was once russian land. The tsarist administration knew about them but didnt had the funds to extract transport then or protect the territory at the time.
@@IronWarrior86 This is debatable to the extreme. If you go deep enough into the rabbit hole, you'll see that Europe is considered a continent for historical and cultural reasons. Geographically and geologically, it's just a giant peninsula of Asia. That's cause they're both sometimes called Eurasia.
Lots of important details are lost in that video. 1) Yermak didn't just decide to "go and conquer Siberian Khanate" - the Siberian Khanate, despite officially being vassal, made regular raids on russian territory near Urals, which of course enraged local nobility and merchants. As the result, wealthy merchant family of Stroganovs hired Yermak to stop those raids once and for all. 2) Natives in Siberia never were "one monolith faction" - each tribe is completely different group with its own culture and heritage. And they very commonly fought against each other. As the result, one tribes fought against russians, while others deliberately were subjugated by russians - for example, chukchi were hated by all of their neighbouring tribes, because chukchi were actually akin to bloodthirsty vikings, constantly pillaging and brutally murdering everyone around them (and also were the strongest player in the region before russians appeared there), and when russians appeared near Chukotka region, lots of tribes there asked to be subjugated in response for protection from chukchis. 3) Siberain cossacks worked in separate groups with quite big amount of freedom in actions - as the result actions of many such groups heavily depended on people in there. Some acted like literally bandits, just raiding and pillaging natives; another ones protected the natives, taught them some tech (for example russians taught many natives the agriculture), and etc. - think of this akin to Wild West, but in 17th century and in Siberia.
"the Siberian Khanate.... made regular raids on russian territory near Urals..." This is myth. On the contrary, russians made raids into Siberian territory.
@@toktarsamykenov1697 No, that is not a myth. Raids can be done only by people, who do not work on the land - because agriculture takes too much time and efforts from you, and raiders must be very mobile (that is also why raiders always require big amount of horses or ships - so vehicles that allows them to quickly appear, pillage, and go away after). Russia was majorly peasant, while Tyumen Khanate and Siberian Khanate had much less peasants and much more hunters and cattlemen, who are exactly ready mobile units - that is because the climate in Siberian Khanate was much more harsh and thus much less suitable for agriculture (consequently, significantly less peasants). The only units in Russian Tsarsdom, who could have been doing regular raids, were either ukshuyniki (river pirares - but there are no rivers that flow through Ural mountains from European Russia to Western Siberia) or cossacks, who mostly lived closer to the steppes and thus in many aspects of everyday life lived same way as steppe nomads - but, once again, amount of cossacks near Ural mountains was significantly less than respective amount of raiders in Siberian Khanate. To sum up: yes, there indeed were regular raiders from Siberian Khanate, that attacked land of Russian Tsarsdom, and no, Russian Tsarsdom didn't regular raids on Siberian Khanate.
1) Siberian Khan's name was Kuchum (ch like in chivalry), not Kukum. 2) Yermak was hired as a mercenary by Ural's oligarchs the Stroganovs to end Tatar raids to their territory. 3) Chukotka was never conquered during czarist times, as it was too expensive to keep fighting there, and it wouldn't give enough profit to to cover war expenses, so the czars just gave up on it. It only became proper Russian territory after the 1917 revolution.
That last statement is incorrect. While it did take quite a bit of time for Russia to incorporate the territory into Russia proper, it was formally incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1863; With Russian influence in the region beginning in the late 17th century and steadily growing and cementing itself until its incorporation.
The Demidovs weren’t oligarchs, they were entrepreneurs and manufacturers. The House of Demidov (Russian: Демидовы) also Demidoff, was a prominent Russian noble family during the 18th and 19th centuries. Originating in the city of Tula in the 17th century, the Demidovs found success through metal products, and were entered into the European nobility by Peter the Great. Their descendants became among the most influential merchants and earliest industrialists in the Russian Empire, and at their peak were predicted to be the second-richest family in Russia, behind only the Russian Imperial Family. The Demidov family lost its fortune after the February Revolution of 1917, but continues to exist under the rendering Demidoff.
The Battle of Chuvash Cape was a turning point in military history. Because of it, gunpowder weaponry put an end to 2,000 years of dominance of nomadic cavalry armies in this region. As bow and spear equipped light horsemen were no match for muskets and cannons.
I heard this is false: The Tatars DID have firearms. However, their equipment and fortifications were in extremely poor state, and the Siberians were not combat trained, hence, they melted away at the Cossack assault.
@@Wasserkaktus Tatars and other Turks were too heavily reliant on Horse archery and were proud of their Successful military traditions that they didnt want to change/adapt to newer tactics and equipment. Though they had access to firearms via trade but not used in a large military capacity or tactical strategy. Plus they couldnt manufacture them on their own and hence had limited expertise on how to effectively use them.
@@muhammadadeel8639 Yeah but this battle saw the Cossacks get mostly ambushed by Tartar hunters with firearms. You're right in that it was largely ineffective, and once the Siberians' leader in this battle was killed, the resistance to the Cossacks melted away.
U write truth about 50%, other 50% was betreyed by muslim mankurts from Amir Temir whose attack Golden Horde and killed a lot of citizens. After this heavily deadly war Golden Horde collapse into several little Hordes: Kazan, Astrakhan, Kyrym (crimea), Nogai, Sibiria horde.

In 17th century Russia didn’t meet Chinese army on “Chinese border”, they met Dzungar Mongols from Dzungars Khanate and other Mongol tribes so they cannot go south.
Cossacks certainly met Machurians on the Amur river banks, they even had clashes and later Nerchin agreements. And in that times Manchurians were ruling China. Don't lie or misinform people.
All the rubbish you people come up with because of the current war. None of you used to call Kiev as Kyiv. but now you all do because you are told to call it as such. And Kievan Rus started in Novgorod, not in Kiev. They conquered Kiev and made it the capital. The people who started the Rus have nothing to do with ukros
@@one.girl...1If later on Delhi had been the capital of the British Empire ruled by Indian monarchs for a couple of centuries, I am not sure what being a British would have meant.
@@annehersey9895 It geographically falls in Asia, but is culturally and politically considered European, since it is a part of Russia. The Rus come from Europe.
We love using the annex for other powers but we never describe as our own culture (as English, French and Dutch) as annexing North America, or Australia, etc. We are only allowed to use the word for others - but we do iit at a much more extreme scale and openly and proudly. The difference is that we e completely destroyed the Indian cultures but the various cultures (Kazak, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Belarus, Siberian cultures, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, etc) go on existing and not wiped out by Russia as we did for our original local cultures. Even what they are doing in Ukraine will end up preserving the culture, versus what we would do which is try to westernise, an a century later poof.. culture vanished.
The Chukchi population has ne tbeen exterminated. They live right now in Russia, under dedicated regulamemtation that allows them to live as they desire, following their ancestor path. Basically they are nomad tribes that freely moves in the artic Siberian lands relying only on woods, fur and hunting for their sustain. The government protects them and prevent interference so they can keep their life as they please.
Lol no protection at all Gov just doesn’t care bc chukchas no longer pretend on their own land resources. They just living there. When these lands were conquered, chukchas fought so hard and became a big problem for russian empire. But finally they were conquered and then many chukchas were executed. Chukchas were the point of russian ethnic jokes later like others people who were conquered by the russians.
1) The Cossack leader have to be named Yermak or Yermak Timofeevich, but never Timofeevitch only (patronyme). 2) Siberian khan’s name was Kuchum (not Kuchuk).
@@MikeRoch-m4rnd franches is Ukrainian too, because their ancestors - Gauls - was from the galicia. I like Ukrainian "history", I think everybody should name it "tale" not the history
The process of mass settlement was in the 20th century. Before that, there was assimilation of the local population. The ROC taught people writing. The Cossacks collected tribute from the lands in the form of animal skins. Peasants fleeing serfdom, repressed nobles and adventurers moved to Siberia. The process is very difficult to describe. That's why it's called joining. I am writing as a resident of Western Siberia. My ancestors are too diverse. The village of my ancestors, who have my surname, is located on the road where the Decembrists were introduced earlier. In fact, there are two wars: the Siberian Khanate and the Chukchi. A bunch of nations that were just annexed and taxed. The benefits of joining were huge, paying with animal skins and receiving protection from neighboring tribes.
Yup Geographically and tectonically, Europe is just part of Asia The only thing that you can say make Europe different from Asia is culture But if that's the case, then there shouldn't even be one single Asian continent West Asia is it's own cultural group, so is central Asia, south Asia, east Asia, and southeast Asia
И в советском фильме Ермак Тимофеевич. Но это как прозвище от имени Ермолай, у казаков всегда было принято давать прозвища. У меня в классе был друг, фамилия Жирма. Так вот у него тоже было прозвище Ермак, причём кто ему его дал и как это нам в голову пришло в 6-м классе я до сих пор не понимаю. Учились в обычной школе Краснодара, 1994-2004
"Siberia is almost like a land of a legend" True because in ancient greek mythology they speculated a place called hyperborea in the north (borea=βόρεια aka north and hyper=υπέρ aka very or really,both these words refer to this place as very/really northern) because their exploration was limited at the time and it is believed that they were referring to modern day Siberia
Geographically Siberia is Asian, albeit the Russians have culturally modernized it to the extent that its Far East part sea- bordering Japan has now got a European cultural spirit. Russians modernized the wilderness lands they went to, British impoverished them, look at India, Bangladesh and Pakistan after 300 years under the Brits. Modern Central Asia had undoubtedly been modernized by Russia. Look at a rural bus stop in Uzbekistan made of concrete in 1950s and then take yourself to Afghanistan to see the difference.
As a resident of Siberia, I will tell you that Russia has not particularly modernized Siberia and the Far East. In reality, there is basically one devastation, the people are getting poorer, drunk and shrinking. If you do not believe me, try to visit these places and you will be convinced of my words.
@@zhals2296 that is true for some groups of Asian ethnicity living in Siberia, for example Kazaks (Kazakhs) in Altai villages or Yakutians in the Far East. These ethnicities do have genetic susceptibility to alcohol just like American Indians. I can tell by your nickname that you might have seen Siberian Kazakhs.
@@Intourist. The indigenous peoples of Siberia, on the contrary, have an intolerance to alcohol. From this follows the so-called predisposition To alcohol. Before the arrival of Russians, indigenous peoples did not drink alcohol in such quantities as they do now. The soldering of indigenous peoples is one of the tools of the Russian state to suppress the consciousness of indigenous peoples. As for the Kazakhs , they are not indigenous to the territory of Siberia, but only live in the south of the Altai Republic in connection with historical events. I am a representative of the indigenous Siberian people of the Buryats.
@@zhals2296 Buryats are respected by Russian state and are treated equally. Datsan Gunzechoinei, the largest Buddhist temple in of the Russian North-West had been erected close to downtown St Petersburg in 1909 and is presently the centre of attraction as a Buryat culture spot in the city. Dorzhiev, a Buryatian activist had spearheaded the works, the building having been designed by a Russian architect Gavriil Baranovski. Russians have tended not to suppress the almost 200 ethnicities inhabiting the country, but have gradually incorporated them into Russian life on an equal basis. Alcohol is available in Buryatia just as has been in St Petersburg or Moscow, I don't believe in conspiracies related to it. I have seen the contrary, in some regions alcohol is subject to greater tax than in Slavic regions, for example in the republic of Tatarstan. On the other hand, I recognise that the West while seeking to partition Russia through Siberia is likely to spread such conspiracy theories through its NGOs across Siberia.

Russia is European and Eurasian, but mostly European. I always think of Russia as an originally North-East European entity that happened to cover all of North Asia. Russia is like its coat of arms “Two-headed eagle” who looks both westwards and eastwards. I’m saying this as a Russian.
Two headed Eagle is claim of Russian zars that Russia is the third Rome. Byzantine Roman symbol is two headed eagle. Russia is no more European. It Asian state of autoritarianism and new kind of Nazism - Rushism.
Why would anyone should study the history by russian books? 🤔 the russian official history is one big lie and mystificaton. And russian grandpa just proved it in his last interview.
Literally the same story with Africa. Africa initially referred to the region of a north African tribe called the Ifri (Afri) and the Romans called their land Africa. Then the further south you went the whole continent was given that name.
Considering how sparsely populated it was and the absence of writing of the locals, no wonder they had to come up with something to call all of that inhospitable land.
Yermak didn't invade Siberia on his own. In fact, his expedition was organized and financed by the Stroganovs, an influential family of businessmen who served as the Tsar's agents in this region. Siberia was and still is the most profitable region of Russia due to its natural resources.
Isn't it ironic that the British colonies of America wonder why Russia wanted to expand? Also I would like to add there are several autonomous regions in Russia with their own language or religion. Name an American state that has an indigenous language as official.
To be fair some of these Russian minorities still have a population of over 1 million and in the 90s they almost got independence .meanwhile the biggest native American tribe only has 100k people most have way less .
Θάνος Κυριακόπουλος...your country Greece still has a flag of British colonial origin as its national flag today....btw in 1923 the greek government and the turkish government did the so called population exchange but that was done by force and not on ethnic or linguistic grounds but on religious grounds....in short, those who were Muslims became Turks those who were Orthodox became Greeks we're talking about a million and a half people on both sides...so take a look at your garden before criticizing others
The closest would be reservations where the indigenous are given some sort of autonomy. There's an interesting case of a casino being found between two localities that prohibited its presence because the casino just barely within a reservation. The casino was approved by the indigenous leader of that reservation and the two states couldn't do nothing about it.
Whatever disease hit Siberian Natives would have affected invaders just as bad. The natives were not isolated from the rest of Eurasia like NA/SA natives.
Who’s to say, Siberia is super remote. Similar to how Europeans couldn’t enter Africa for the longest time due to diseases against which they had no immunity .
@@MbisonBalrog While they were not completely isolated, the were isolated enough. Evidence shows their immune systems were not adopted to the same diseases.

Russian adventurers (Russian-American Company) reached California along the way opening the strait between Eurasia and America. Russia also briefly owned the Hawaiian Islands. At the beginning of the 20th century Russia united the two worlds "Asia" and "Europe" with the longest railway.
Great video but a few things don't sit right 1) "Conquest" started much earlier as a responce to Mongol-Tartar Invasion of Eastern Europe. They ruled Rus lands for almost 200 years unopposed until finally Rus (still divided at that time) started to unite and fight back. As they were pushing Tatars further and further away from Russian borders, they were discovering and eventually occupying more and more lands 2) Timfeevich is Ermak's patronim and should not be used without the 1st name (unless jokingly between close friends). So it's either Stepan Timofeevich, Stepan or simply Ermak as his know in Russia. Bu never Timofeevich.
it's their thing, Anything the Turks or Mongols do = good. Anything White or Christian = Expansionist or bad. even though it they who attack the Christians first
No, under the rule of Golden Horde for 300 years were moscovians. But Rusyny (Rus, Rusychi, who have nothing to do with modern "russians") from Rus - around 120 years. Moscovia is not Rus. Moscovia stoled the greek name of Rus (rossia) only in 1721. Even moscovians continued to call themselves "moscovians", because they didn't understand why they are russians now. And other nations didn't call Moscovia "russia" for a long time. Especially neighbours, because they knew that Rus is a territory of Ukraine. After Golden Horde invasion in 1241 on western ukrainian lands quickly emerged the Kingdom of Rus, and when Lithuanians and Rusyny defeated the Golden Horde another ukrainian lands became a part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Rus and Samogitia. When Kingdom of Rus became a part of the Kingdom of Poland it was called Rus Voivodeship. Modern Ukrainians untill the 19 century was called Rus/Rusyny/Rusychi/Ruthenians. From 16 century ukrainians had another names like "Ukrainians" and "Cossacks", but they were used with names Rus and Rusyny. And moscovian people never was Rus. In 10-12 centuries lands of future Moscovia was inhabited by completely different tribes, even not Slavic - Volga Finns, which was under the rule of Rus (like Gaul (France) was under the rule of Roman Empire (Italy)) and paid tribute to the Prince of Kyiv, and sons or relatives of Prince of Kyiv ruled those lands. That's it. When they went to Principality of Kyiv or Principality of Chernihiv or Principality of Pereyaslav (Ukrainian lands, which actually was called Rus) they said they "go to Rus". It is in the chronicles. And the names of their lands was Vladimiro-Suzdal principality, then Moscovian principality, then Moscovia. They never was Rus, they just used to steal everything: someone's lands, someone's history, household appliances from the occupied territories.
@@one.girl...1 Complete and utter BS. Read the Primary Chronicles. It clearly states that Rus started when 5 tribes (2 slavic and 3 Finnic - all from what is now Russia and Belarus) united and invited Rurik of Rus tribe to be their leader. Ladoga. Pskov and Novgorod were the main centres of early Rus. Later they Rus+those 5 tribes conquered Kiev. So Rus were always invaders on what is now Ukraine
Ukrainians tell an alternative story, according to which the Canadian (yes, yes, Canadian) king Sigismund gave siberia to Russia. This is not surprising, given that this nation dug out the black sea and were the ancestors of the Gauls😁
No, Ukrainians know that moscovians love to shed blood and always want to steal something: lands, someone's history, household appliances from the occupied territories. And of course they love to spread nonsense and russian propaganda like this comment.
Ukrainians have been brainwashed with alternative world history for over 30 years. As usual, it all ends tragically. Until they accept the realities of history, they will continue to suffer. It's not even about the Russians
So Russia did Manifest Destiny before the Americans and on a bigger scale. It's an interesting thought for sure. Lots of parallels. The smallpox wiping out local populations. Nomadic tribes defended by cavalry-mounted archers (some of the best in the world, no less) being overrun by guns. The sheer speed of the conquests, etc.
Till this day Russia is trying to clean out Nato just like the soviets did with hitler. Crazy for America to think it can destroy it, they’ve been doing this shit since 1800s lol

No one forces the indigenous peoples of Russia to live in reservations, like in the USA, for example. In Russia, they can move freely around the country. For comparison, Indians in the USA do not pay taxes, and therefore do not have the opportunity to vote in elections, in addition, they cannot independently conclude trade agreements or appear in court.

Привет из Томска! 😊 Наша земля принадлежала племени эуштинцев. Предводитель хан Тоян, в конце 16 века встретил русских с добром. Его племя тоже постоянно грабили всякие Батыи, Тамерланы и Тохтамыши. Русские сообщили ему, что могут помочь в защите в обмен на меха. В 1603 году он собрал у себя ценный для русских мех и отправился в Москву, а в 1604 году русские построили на его земле защитную крепость. На сегодняшний день эуштинцы по прежнему живут на своей земле, к ним можно съездить на экскурсию - деревня Эушта, это совсем рядом с Томском, у них свои традиции, вера и праздники. Сейчас коренные эуштинцы держатся на уровне 400 человек, но каждое новое поколение всё больше интегрируется в современное общество. Мы - русские, их сабантуй празднуем вообще всем городом 🎉, пытаемся сохранить нашу общую историю как можем. Хану Тояну уважение за то, что на наших землях не было пролито ни одной капли крови ❤❤❤

To be fair, the Mongols swept from the east across Siberia to the west all the way into Europe. For hundreds of years the Russ endured the Mogol hordes and paid tribute. Eventually the tables turned and the Russ swept west to east.
How could you use word ANNEX towards territories that had no state? These territories were explored and claimed. Additionally, they never did genocide towards local tribes as Americans did

Just found your channel and I like it. You stated you enjoyed feedback. I think longer videos would be great, maybe do a short version and extended version. The idea is that differing topics appeal to different people, so not everyone would watch a 30-minute video about it, but they'd be interested enough to watch a 10-15 minute version. Also, and most importantly, how does anyone know that your information is accurate? Are you an educated historian or a passionate person who loves history and wants to share it with everyone? I think a good idea would be to cite some references in the videos or descriptions. I hope none of that came across as me being rude or an ass. I was trying to give some honest feedback and ideas. I enjoyed your video and plan to watch many more.
That’s interesting I didn’t know Eastern Siberia went through extreme diseases. I would of thought that they built up a immunity like the rest of the Old World
@@babrakoberma673 Wrong. Europeans did not build imunity. Far East tribes were vulnerable to the same level as American natives to smallpox. P.S. Russia is country of neo nazism, country of warmongers, murderers, rapists, looters and liars. Most of Russians are amoral people who support elimination of Ukraine as country, language and people. I hear it all day long in Russian TV propaganda, Telegramm, TH-cam etc. When Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and other regions of Ukraine in 2022 it lost its own rights of teritorial integrity. I hope Ukraine will incorporate Russia lands to Ural mountains. Referendums will be held and 90% people will vote for joining Ukraine.
The reason russian expansion initiated towards the East was mainly due to previous invasion of Tatar Mongol Empire. It started as retaliation of occupation by the tatar-mongols. The aim was to eliminate future threats from the East. It obviously came with benefits (fur trade) but initially it wasn't the main objective.
8:06 "In the early Novgorod expeditions through Siberia, they had quickly realized that the natives had valuable furs that could be sold and traded for great profit." I'm sure sure they knew all about the furs before any of their expeditions. They would have been the original motive.

@@ДенисСвекольников-с2ь Siberia isn't icy and it isn't low populated. You know the proverb "100 bucks is 100 bucks" so I say "a city of 100 000 people is a city of 100 000 people". The city is the same no matter where it is located. A continent isn't supposed to be a city. You are not supposed to walk across the usa and see a person every 100 meters, visit a city and you will see people. Just like you are not supposed to walk across bare siberia and see a person every 300 meters so you say "yes, some low populated place, I see only one person every 300 meters of my walk". Visit a freaking city! They are all the same everywhere, Siberia has a lot of them!
@@asbest2092 - In order for the area to be densely populated, there must be an appropriate economic base that could feed these people. Why does no one live in Antarctica? Yes, because there will be nothing to live with, there will be nothing to eat. The same is true in the Siberian taiga or tundra. What will large masses of people be able to eat there? Rare tribes of hunters, gatherers and shepherds of reindeer lived mainly in Siberia. And in the harsh Siberian climate, large masses of people will simply have nothing to eat. Or will they have to hibernate like bears during the long and cold Siberian winter?) Now the entire economy of Siberia is based mainly on the extraction of raw materials and minerals - oil, gas, diamonds, various metals, deforestation. Then none of this happened, and hunting fur-bearing animals and reselling them to Europe, large masses of people will not feed themselves in the taiga. So don 't make it up .

8:40 Hey while counting of reasons for Siberian campain you had to say that the Siberia was a "free land" from Serfdom so many cossacks wanted to simply get away from land owners. It's aslo the main reason why many people had being becoming cossaks: if you're cossak you're no longer slave. So it's a great idea to go conquer some Wild East
*Dude, don’t write what you don’t know ... the Don Cossacks were never serfs, and the outflow of the population from central Russia to Siberia began under Peter 1, his church reform of Patriarch Nikon, so according to various estimates of historians, the outflow of the population of Russia ranged from 20 to 40% of all subjects of Emperor Peter, and only Catherine 2 managed to return part of the population under the rule of the imperial crown!*

Thank you for this great video. I think Russia's expansion across Siberia is a feat that mirrors the west's across the oceans. Unfortunately it is not often remarqued in World Histories
You do understand that the aggressive expansion carried out by Muscovy and its cruel treatment by the local peoples is not a feat? about the expansion overseas that European empires carried out, European countries at least recognized the inhumanity of their imperialist conquests, and those European powers that used to be empires have long ago carried out the process of decolonization in their countries, What modern Muscovy is so afraid of.

Hey jerks, remember already. Russia owns 45 percent of the European continent. Russians own 45 percent of Europe. Don't you study geography in your schools? The Russians (Swedish tribe Rus or Ruotsi) came from the territory of modern Sweden ("The Way from the Varangians to the Greeks"). In the 9th century, the Russian Varangians adopted Christianity and adopted the Slavic language. Russian Russians have created the largest Varangian state (the real Russians are fair-haired people with light eyes, so our main neighbors Finns still call Russians Ruots, which means light-haired brown hair).

Да, чукчей было очень сложно победить, они прирождённые суровые воины, как сиу или команчи. Очень много казаков полегло в трёх войнах и бесчисленных мелких стычках, это правда.
However, unlike British Russians had no problem intermarrying with coloonial subjects and unlike Spaniards, descendants of conquerors did not rebell against central power, so Russian control of Siberia remained.
siberia is like canada or australia in that regard. Except siberia isnt separated from the mainland by 3021030210312001 miles of ocean and thus never developed self-conscience or an independent economy
Canada was also created in the 19th century thru the fur trade by means of the British Hudsons Bay Company, overunning native populations which offered little resistance. The indigenous people largely live on treaty land reserves. Their increasing population is now being felt politially in Canada.
If it reminds you of the American conquest you’re a moron. Mongols Turks and it he steppe nomads kept invading Russia so they fought back to make sure it wouldn’t happen again

Russia has a long history of being invaded by the nomads from the East - the feared and most powerful weapon through the middle ages was the nomadic horse archer, various Turkish and Mongol groups. BUT, with the arrival of the musket, the horse archer lost its power. It was the musket that allowed Russia to extract vengeance for its defeats and Russia took it all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Cossacks were the answer to constant nomadic invasions, themselves a product of nomadic way of waging wars coupled with agricultural heritage of the "civilized world". And these Cossacks, originally refugees from the nomads and defenders from them, turned into conquerors.
@@asbest2092 usually, pretexts for wars are something specific to each particular conflict. Here, we are talking about 2-3 centuries of expansion. So, no, it's not a pretext. It's the underlying psychology of why Russia looked East and not West. And of course, there were typical reasons for wars - gaining territory and resources but these are not mutually exclusive with what I've described.
@@asbest2092 that's not how pretexts work in history. This fear of invasions is on a subconscious level of Russians. They always view the world as out to get them. And, of course, resources were a reason, though, when Cossacks were conquering it, there wasn't much in Siberia that wasn't in rest of Russia - all the oil, gold, precious metals and stones was discovered centuries later.
The Cossacks later realized that the locals were easily susceptible to alcohol (similar to the Indians of North America). Cheap alcohol and bad vodka killed hundreds of Siberian tribes. Huge deposits of iron, copper, precious stones, and silver were found in the Ural mountains. This gave incentive to build factories in Siberia, sending large numbers of disenfranchised people to work. Entire villages, women with children, and old people were driven to Siberia under guard.
Most of the inhabitants of Siberia are ethnic Russians. In your case, most likely the fact that you were skeptical about the fact that a person of Asian appearance from Russia worked, and he had to add that he was from Siberia.
When Russians first arrived to Yakutia (Sakha) (Far East Siberia) in 1630s, Sakha (Yakut) people already had wars between each other (different clans) and also against other Tungusic tribes (like Evenks and Evens), also Koryaks and Chukchi. So Russians used the expertise of Sakha people and Yakut horses (the only native Siberians breeding horses and cattle) to conquer territories to Chukotka and to Vladivostok. At that time Buryats lived further south in North China and Mongolia, so they didn’t encounter Russians. By 1890s there were only 12 000 Russians and 270 000 Sakha people in Yakutia. The number of other local Siberian population was very low.
Sounds somewhat similar to what happened in North America. Native tribes there also fought against each other, and Europeans and their descendants sometimes exploited this. Colonizers don't usually achieve their aims all by themselves. They often make alliances with native peoples against other native peoples.
Сибирь упоминается раньше в летописях, в XII веке у нижегородских купцов, ходивших "за Камень" с целью добычи пушнины - основной валюты русских княжеств того времени. Завоевание, а точнее сказать, переподчинение Сибири происходило постепенно: первая волна связана с Иваном IV; вторая волна при Алексее Михайловиче (основной контингент: казаки Дона, пленные поляки, литовцы, немцы, оставшиеся после Смутного Времени, татары); третья волна - при Петре I Великом (основной контингент: служивый люд, пленные шведы после Северной Войны, казаки, татары); четвёртая волна - при Екатерине II Великой (основной контингент: служивый люд, казаки Яика, Дона, поляки, немцы, якуты, татары). Данное переподчинение не является родственной по отношению к европейской колонизации, а скорее имела вид сатрапий. При этом, истребления населения, как это часто бывало в европейской практике (особенно вспоминая деятельность испанцев, англичан, французов на обеих Америках) не происходило. Но нельзя сказать, что не было конфликтов и эксцессов со стороны РИ. И всё же, в данный момент в Российской Федерации насчитывает более 190 народностей, из них народностей Сибири более 50. Война с чукчами была спровоцирована: данный народ являлся гегемоном в регионе и после того, как коряки стали платить ясак, местное правительство по договору обязалось их защищать. После очередного набега на новых подданых, гарнизон выдвинулся на карательную экспедицию. Такой радикализм не случился спонтанно - ему предшествовали убийства послов чукчами, постоянные провокации.
"..... При этом, истребления населения, как это часто бывало в европейской практике (особенно вспоминая деятельность испанцев, англичан, французов на обеих Америках) не происходило...." Ещё как происходило, похлеще чем в Америке.

Lots of important details are lost in that video.
1) Yermak didn't just decide to "go and conquer Siberian Khanate" - the Siberian Khanate, despite officially being vassal, made regular raids on russian territory near Urals, which of course enraged local nobility and merchants. As the result, wealthy merchant family of Stroganovs hired Yermak to stop those raids once and for all.
2) Natives in Siberia never were "one monolith faction" - each tribe is completely different group with its own culture and heritage. And they very commonly fought against each other. As the result, one tribes fought against russians, while others deliberately were subjugated by russians - for example, chukchi were hated by all of their neighbouring tribes, because chukchi were actually akin to bloodthirsty vikings, constantly pillaging and brutally murdering everyone around them (and also were the strongest player in the region before russians appeared there), and when russians appeared near Chukotka region, lots of tribes there asked to be subjugated in response for protection from chukchis.
3) Siberain cossacks worked in separate groups with quite big amount of freedom in actions - as the result actions of many such groups heavily depended on people in there. Some acted like literally bandits, just raiding and pillaging natives; another ones protected the natives, taught them some tech (for example russians taught many natives the agriculture), and etc. - think of this akin to Wild West, but in 17th century and in Siberia.
Wow! You wrote so much! Where are you from. Thanks for giving us more insight about Siberia.
"the Siberian Khanate.... made regular raids on russian territory near Urals..." This is myth. On the contrary, russians made raids into Siberian territory.
@@navneetshyam1335 You are welcome) I am from Russia, and studied the question
@@toktarsamykenov1697 No, that is not a myth. Raids can be done only by people, who do not work on the land - because agriculture takes too much time and efforts from you, and raiders must be very mobile (that is also why raiders always require big amount of horses or ships - so vehicles that allows them to quickly appear, pillage, and go away after). Russia was majorly peasant, while Tyumen Khanate and Siberian Khanate had much less peasants and much more hunters and cattlemen, who are exactly ready mobile units - that is because the climate in Siberian Khanate was much more harsh and thus much less suitable for agriculture (consequently, significantly less peasants). The only units in Russian Tsarsdom, who could have been doing regular raids, were either ukshuyniki (river pirares - but there are no rivers that flow through Ural mountains from European Russia to Western Siberia) or cossacks, who mostly lived closer to the steppes and thus in many aspects of everyday life lived same way as steppe nomads - but, once again, amount of cossacks near Ural mountains was significantly less than respective amount of raiders in Siberian Khanate. To sum up: yes, there indeed were regular raiders from Siberian Khanate, that attacked land of Russian Tsarsdom, and no, Russian Tsarsdom didn't regular raids on Siberian Khanate.
@@thedreamscripter4002👍
1) Siberian Khan's name was Kuchum (ch like in chivalry), not Kukum.
2) Yermak was hired as a mercenary by Ural's oligarchs the Stroganovs to end Tatar raids to their territory.
3) Chukotka was never conquered during czarist times, as it was too expensive to keep fighting there, and it wouldn't give enough profit to to cover war expenses, so the czars just gave up on it. It only became proper Russian territory after the 1917 revolution.
That last statement is incorrect.

Originating in the city of Tula in the 17th century, the Demidovs found success through metal products, and were entered into the European nobility by Peter the Great. Their descendants became among the most influential merchants and earliest industrialists in the Russian Empire, and at their peak were predicted to be the second-richest family in Russia, behind only the Russian Imperial Family. The Demidov family lost its fortune after the February Revolution of 1917, but continues to exist under the rendering Demidoff.

The Chukchi population has ne tbeen exterminated. They live right now in Russia, under dedicated regulamemtation that allows them to live as they desire, following their ancestor path. Basically they are nomad tribes that freely moves in the artic Siberian lands relying only on woods, fur and hunting for their sustain. The government protects them and prevent interference so they can keep their life as they please.
Lol no protection at all Gov just doesn’t care bc chukchas no longer pretend on their own land resources. They just living there.

"Colonisation of Siberia"
Ok Caucasian lived there until Mongolians invaded, it was original European phenotype people
The process of mass settlement was in the 20th century.
Before that, there was assimilation of the local population. The ROC taught people writing. The Cossacks collected tribute from the lands in the form of animal skins.
Peasants fleeing serfdom, repressed nobles and adventurers moved to Siberia.
The process is very difficult to describe. That's why it's called joining.

The village of my ancestors, who have my surname, is located on the road where the Decembrists were introduced earlier.

True because in ancient greek mythology they speculated a place called hyperborea in the north (borea=βόρεια aka north and hyper=υπέρ aka very or really,both these words refer to this place as very/really northern) because their exploration was limited at the time and it is believed that they were referring to modern day Siberia

What are you talking about?
Too many mistakes + propaganda (annexation etc). No trust. Greetings from Irkutsk, East Siberia
Geographically Siberia is Asian, albeit the Russians have culturally modernized it to the extent that its Far East part sea- bordering Japan has now got a European cultural spirit.
Russians modernized the wilderness lands they went to, British impoverished them, look at India, Bangladesh and Pakistan after 300 years under the Brits.
Modern Central Asia had undoubtedly been modernized by Russia. Look at a rural bus stop in Uzbekistan made of concrete in 1950s and then take yourself to Afghanistan to see the difference.
i got here after i've read about "annexation of Siberia" in preview... Thanks for this comment which is not fucked up at all, with love from Russia
As a resident of Siberia, I will tell you that Russia has not particularly modernized Siberia and the Far East. In reality, there is basically one devastation, the people are getting poorer, drunk and shrinking. If you do not believe me, try to visit these places and you will be convinced of my words.
@@zhals2296 that is true for some groups of Asian ethnicity living in Siberia, for example Kazaks (Kazakhs) in Altai villages or Yakutians in the Far East. These ethnicities do have genetic susceptibility to alcohol just like American Indians. I can tell by your nickname that you might have seen Siberian Kazakhs.
@@Intourist. The indigenous peoples of Siberia, on the contrary, have an intolerance to alcohol. From this follows the so-called predisposition To alcohol. Before the arrival of Russians, indigenous peoples did not drink alcohol in such quantities as they do now. The soldering of indigenous peoples is one of the tools of the Russian state to suppress the consciousness of indigenous peoples. As for the Kazakhs , they are not indigenous to the territory of Siberia, but only live in the south of the Altai Republic in connection with historical events. I am a representative of the indigenous Siberian people of the Buryats.
@@zhals2296 Buryats are respected by Russian state and are treated equally. Datsan Gunzechoinei, the largest Buddhist temple in of the Russian North-West had been erected close to downtown St Petersburg in 1909 and is presently the centre of attraction as a Buryat culture spot in the city. Dorzhiev, a Buryatian activist had spearheaded the works, the building having been designed by a Russian architect Gavriil Baranovski. Russians have tended not to suppress the almost 200 ethnicities inhabiting the country, but have gradually incorporated them into Russian life on an equal basis. Alcohol is available in Buryatia just as has been in St Petersburg or Moscow, I don't believe in conspiracies related to it. I have seen the contrary, in some regions alcohol is subject to greater tax than in Slavic regions, for example in the republic of Tatarstan. On the other hand, I recognise that the West while seeking to partition Russia through Siberia is likely to spread such conspiracy theories through its NGOs across Siberia.
Russia expanded just like the way Americans expanded in the native "indian " land which now they call U.S.A.....

Considering how sparsely populated it was and the absence of writing of the locals, no wonder they had to come up with something to call all of that inhospitable land.
Yermak didn't invade Siberia on his own. In fact, his expedition was organized and financed by the Stroganovs, an influential family of businessmen who served as the Tsar's agents in this region. Siberia was and still is the most profitable region of Russia due to its natural resources.
Great video name. Please make next "How U.S. annexed Mexica or how Spain, U.K., France etc. annexed Americas", cheers!
Isn't it ironic that the British colonies of America wonder why Russia wanted to expand? Also I would like to add there are several autonomous regions in Russia with their own language or religion. Name an American state that has an indigenous language as official.
To be fair some of these Russian minorities still have a population of over 1 million and in the 90s they almost got independence .meanwhile the biggest native American tribe only has 100k people most have way less .

There are lots of reservations in America that give self rule to the native populations there, especially in the West.

The closest would be reservations where the indigenous are given some sort of autonomy. There's an interesting case of a casino being found between two localities that prohibited its presence because the casino just barely within a reservation. The casino was approved by the indigenous leader of that reservation and the two states couldn't do nothing about it.

Fort "Ross" in California was established by Russian explorers
Great video but a few things don't sit right
1) "Conquest" started much earlier as a responce to Mongol-Tartar Invasion of Eastern Europe. They ruled Rus lands for almost 200 years unopposed until finally Rus (still divided at that time) started to unite and fight back. As they were pushing Tatars further and further away from Russian borders, they were discovering and eventually occupying more and more lands
2) Timfeevich is Ermak's patronim and should not be used without the 1st name (unless jokingly between close friends). So it's either Stepan Timofeevich, Stepan or simply Ermak as his know in Russia. Bu never Timofeevich.
it's their thing, Anything the Turks or Mongols do = good. Anything White or Christian = Expansionist or bad. even though it they who attack the Christians first
The ending of Russian patronims is never -ish, it's always -ich.
So, it's Timofeevich, not Timofeevish.
@@gintasvilkelis2544 That was a spelling mistake at the end
No, under the rule of Golden Horde for 300 years were moscovians. But Rusyny (Rus, Rusychi, who have nothing to do with modern "russians") from Rus - around 120 years. Moscovia is not Rus. Moscovia stoled the greek name of Rus (rossia) only in 1721. Even moscovians continued to call themselves "moscovians", because they didn't understand why they are russians now. And other nations didn't call Moscovia "russia" for a long time. Especially neighbours, because they knew that Rus is a territory of Ukraine. After Golden Horde invasion in 1241 on western ukrainian lands quickly emerged the Kingdom of Rus, and when Lithuanians and Rusyny defeated the Golden Horde another ukrainian lands became a part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Rus and Samogitia. When Kingdom of Rus became a part of the Kingdom of Poland it was called Rus Voivodeship. Modern Ukrainians untill the 19 century was called Rus/Rusyny/Rusychi/Ruthenians. From 16 century ukrainians had another names like "Ukrainians" and "Cossacks", but they were used with names Rus and Rusyny.
And moscovian people never was Rus. In 10-12 centuries lands of future Moscovia was inhabited by completely different tribes, even not Slavic - Volga Finns, which was under the rule of Rus (like Gaul (France) was under the rule of Roman Empire (Italy)) and paid tribute to the Prince of Kyiv, and sons or relatives of Prince of Kyiv ruled those lands. That's it. When they went to Principality of Kyiv or Principality of Chernihiv or Principality of Pereyaslav (Ukrainian lands, which actually was called Rus) they said they "go to Rus". It is in the chronicles. And the names of their lands was Vladimiro-Suzdal principality, then Moscovian principality, then Moscovia.
They never was Rus, they just used to steal everything: someone's lands, someone's history, household appliances from the occupied territories.
@@one.girl...1 Complete and utter BS. Read the Primary Chronicles. It clearly states that Rus started when 5 tribes (2 slavic and 3 Finnic - all from what is now Russia and Belarus) united and invited Rurik of Rus tribe to be their leader. Ladoga. Pskov and Novgorod were the main centres of early Rus. Later they Rus+those 5 tribes conquered Kiev. So Rus were always invaders on what is now Ukraine

Привет из Томска! 😊 Наша земля принадлежала племени эуштинцев. Предводитель хан Тоян, в конце 16 века встретил русских с добром. Его племя тоже постоянно грабили всякие Батыи, Тамерланы и Тохтамыши. Русские сообщили ему, что могут помочь в защите в обмен на меха. В 1603 году он собрал у себя ценный для русских мех и отправился в Москву, а в 1604 году русские построили на его земле защитную крепость. На сегодняшний день эуштинцы по прежнему живут на своей земле, к ним можно съездить на экскурсию - деревня Эушта, это совсем рядом с Томском, у них свои традиции, вера и праздники. Сейчас коренные эуштинцы держатся на уровне 400 человек, но каждое новое поколение всё больше интегрируется в современное общество. Мы - русские, их сабантуй празднуем вообще всем городом 🎉, пытаемся сохранить нашу общую историю как можем. Хану Тояну уважение за то, что на наших землях не было пролито ни одной капли крови ❤❤❤

To be fair, the Mongols swept from the east across Siberia to the west all the way into Europe. For hundreds of years the Russ endured the Mogol hordes and paid tribute. Eventually the tables turned and the Russ swept west to east.

People of Southern Siberia probably did, but not those living in Permafrost.
The reason russian expansion initiated towards the East was mainly due to previous invasion of Tatar Mongol Empire. It started as retaliation of occupation by the tatar-mongols. The aim was to eliminate future threats from the East. It obviously came with benefits (fur trade) but initially it wasn't the main objective.

And don't even try to say something like "oh, you're a foreigner i know better". I am from Russia myself and been studying russian history for decades.
And stop being like those propaganda guys. "oh-oh-oh, look at what West did to poor [whoever]"
Talk for YOURSELF and your nation.
So you're saying it was a steppe-by-steppe process. (ba dum tish)
Very curious how you present this history and the reaction of your subscribers to the video. As you understand, we learn the history of our country at school, roughly what you showed. But at the same time we have a lot of controversial and unclear ancient history inside. Especially considering that there was a Little Ice Age at this point, climat changes and transmigration of peoples (Hungarian to the west from West Sibiria, Kyrgystanian to the south from the same place. Thanks!
@lazarus921 you are right about Hungarians, but about Kyrgysians it's unclear. They are presented on the Mongolian maps of Chingis Khan period in Siberia
Hey jerks, remember already. Russia owns 45 percent of the European continent. Russians own 45 percent of Europe. Don't you study geography in your schools? The Russians (Swedish tribe Rus or Ruotsi) came from the territory of modern Sweden ("The Way from the Varangians to the Greeks"). In the 9th century, the Russian Varangians adopted Christianity and adopted the Slavic language. Russian Russians have created the largest Varangian state (the real Russians are fair-haired people with light eyes, so our main neighbors Finns still call Russians Ruots, which means light-haired brown hair). Therefore, Russians have the right to claim the territory of modern Sweden. In the future, the Russians will share Europe with the Arabs.

Cool looking video.
I am struck by the similarity to the take over of the Americas by Europeans around the same time.
Yeahhh...but the same time reservations for the local population is larger than some big states in Europe and is a zone of self-government where Russians are required to learn the local language ..
Where are the similarities? The genocide of the indigenous population and the use of slave labor from Africa?
No, Russians haven't eliminated the natives like your ancestors did.
me as a siberian: "proud to be an asian, sir 💪🏻"
the video: "siberia is considered european" 😣

Does author knows that half of this actions were not in Siberia but in Ural??
Loved this, very informative ^_^.
They settled in Califorinia and Arizona too before other Europeans.
Watch Reset of Tartaria by Zachary. You will be very surprised. It's not coincidence why they were there.
Yeah I'm sure this will be a calm and civilized comment section
A lot of Russians seem quite insistent that the wars and diseases they brought to Siberia were more noble than the wars and diseases of manifest destiny.

I have one question in my mind. When did Russian conquered Alaska? Did they go east further from Siberia ?

Да, чукчей было очень сложно победить, они прирождённые суровые воины, как сиу или команчи. Очень много казаков полегло в трёх войнах и бесчисленных мелких стычках, это правда.
However, unlike British Russians had no problem intermarrying with coloonial subjects and unlike Spaniards, descendants of conquerors did not rebell against central power, so Russian control of Siberia remained.
Some russians had and thats their own right.
so UK relinquished their colonies but Russia didn't ?
Colonies? Not the right comparison. It's like saying why don't the English give freedom to Wales and Scotland
siberia is like canada or australia in that regard. Except siberia isnt separated from the mainland by 3021030210312001 miles of ocean and thus never developed self-conscience or an independent economy
what app do you use to create your content ?
Canada was also created in the 19th century thru the fur trade by means of the British Hudsons Bay Company, overunning native populations which offered little resistance. The indigenous people largely live on treaty land reserves. Their increasing population is now being felt politially in Canada.
Good
You forgot Alaska
He also forgot Kiev and half of northern Ukraine.
interesting video, it reminds me a lot of the european conquest and settlement of the americas
If it reminds you of the American conquest you’re a moron. Mongols Turks and it he steppe nomads kept invading Russia so they fought back to make sure it wouldn’t happen again
@@uhhowaboutno4180 ok and?
The United States (multinational state project) created Romano-Germanic peoples (Anglo-Saxons, Italians, Spanish Franks, Germans, Belgians, Normans, etc.).
Russia (the project of multinational state) created the Slavic-Turkic peoples (Russians, Tatars and others).
All wanted to create their own Goliath (supranational state). Where you will be respected, not because of your nationality, but because you are human.

I would love to sit in on a russian history class and see whats taught. As an american, Russian history fascinates me.

Russia has a long history of being invaded by the nomads from the East - the feared and most powerful weapon through the middle ages was the nomadic horse archer, various Turkish and Mongol groups. BUT, with the arrival of the musket, the horse archer lost its power. It was the musket that allowed Russia to extract vengeance for its defeats and Russia took it all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Cossacks were the answer to constant nomadic invasions, themselves a product of nomadic way of waging wars coupled with agricultural heritage of the "civilized world". And these Cossacks, originally refugees from the nomads and defenders from them, turned into conquerors.
it's a pretext, not a historical fact.
@@asbest2092 usually, pretexts for wars are something specific to each particular conflict. Here, we are talking about 2-3 centuries of expansion. So, no, it's not a pretext. It's the underlying psychology of why Russia looked East and not West. And of course, there were typical reasons for wars - gaining territory and resources but these are not mutually exclusive with what I've described.
@@mrvk39 The event: russia's expansion to siberia
The reason: the wish of easy free resources of a huge amount
The pretext: "we were just afraid"
@@asbest2092 that's not how pretexts work in history. This fear of invasions is on a subconscious level of Russians. They always view the world as out to get them. And, of course, resources were a reason, though, when Cossacks were conquering it, there wasn't much in Siberia that wasn't in rest of Russia - all the oil, gold, precious metals and stones was discovered centuries later.

The Cossacks later realized that the locals were easily susceptible to alcohol (similar to the Indians of North America). Cheap alcohol and bad vodka killed hundreds of Siberian tribes.
Huge deposits of iron, copper, precious stones, and silver were found in the Ural mountains. This gave incentive to build factories in Siberia, sending large numbers of disenfranchised people to work. Entire villages, women with children, and old people were driven to Siberia under guard.
The few Siberian born individuals that I’ve known personally were ethnically East Asian; not caucasian.
Most of the inhabitants of Siberia are ethnic Russians. In your case, most likely the fact that you were skeptical about the fact that a person of Asian appearance from Russia worked, and he had to add that he was from Siberia.
You are liar. Go to any Siberian city or village.
The few American born individuals that I’ve known personally were ethnically East Asian; not Apache.
When Russians first arrived to Yakutia (Sakha) (Far East Siberia) in 1630s, Sakha (Yakut) people already had wars between each other (different clans) and also against other Tungusic tribes (like Evenks and Evens), also Koryaks and Chukchi.
So Russians used the expertise of Sakha people and Yakut horses (the only native Siberians breeding horses and cattle) to conquer territories to Chukotka and to Vladivostok.
At that time Buryats lived further south in North China and Mongolia, so they didn’t encounter Russians.
By 1890s there were only 12 000 Russians and 270 000 Sakha people in Yakutia. The number of other local Siberian population was very low.
Sounds somewhat similar to what happened in North America. Native tribes there also fought against each other, and Europeans and their descendants sometimes exploited this. Colonizers don't usually achieve their aims all by themselves. They often make alliances with native peoples against other native peoples.
Buryats was in Khalkha khanate. Learn history
Сибирь упоминается раньше в летописях, в XII веке у нижегородских купцов, ходивших "за Камень" с целью добычи пушнины - основной валюты русских княжеств того времени. Завоевание, а точнее сказать, переподчинение Сибири происходило постепенно: первая волна связана с Иваном IV; вторая волна при Алексее Михайловиче (основной контингент: казаки Дона, пленные поляки, литовцы, немцы, оставшиеся после Смутного Времени, татары); третья волна - при Петре I Великом (основной контингент: служивый люд, пленные шведы после Северной Войны, казаки, татары); четвёртая волна - при Екатерине II Великой (основной контингент: служивый люд, казаки Яика, Дона, поляки, немцы, якуты, татары).
Данное переподчинение не является родственной по отношению к европейской колонизации, а скорее имела вид сатрапий. При этом, истребления населения, как это часто бывало в европейской практике (особенно вспоминая деятельность испанцев, англичан, французов на обеих Америках) не происходило. Но нельзя сказать, что не было конфликтов и эксцессов со стороны РИ. И всё же, в данный момент в Российской Федерации насчитывает более 190 народностей, из них народностей Сибири более 50.
Война с чукчами была спровоцирована: данный народ являлся гегемоном в регионе и после того, как коряки стали платить ясак, местное правительство по договору обязалось их защищать. После очередного набега на новых подданых, гарнизон выдвинулся на карательную экспедицию. Такой радикализм не случился спонтанно - ему предшествовали убийства послов чукчами, постоянные провокации.
"..... При этом, истребления населения, как это часто бывало в европейской практике (особенно вспоминая деятельность испанцев, англичан, французов на обеих Америках) не происходило...."
Ещё как происходило, похлеще чем в Америке.
волны, поляки, пленные шведы, казаки с Яика - зачем? Какая мотивация? Не важно из кого состояли волны, важна мотивация, - Зачем? В видео прекрасно все объяснено с точки зрения мотивации: Торговля Мехом. Вооруженные люди идут устанавливать свою власть и флаг только туда, где есть Выгодная Торговля.
Разумеется, нельзя обобщать, что шли убивать и грабить. Нет, самый выгодный и распространенный способ захвата территории империей - Подкуп Местных Элит, предоставление им "крыши" более высокого, авторитетного уровня.
ты хоть про коряков молчал бы, дятел. Анкудинов грабил и убивал их как хотел. Нынешние коряки это остатки коренного населения Камчатки.
"...Въ Камчаткѣ напримѣръ, можно ѣздить на собакахъ, запряженныхъ въ небольшія санки (нарты), такъ какъ тропинки, слывущія тамъ подъ именемъ дорогъ, чрезвычайно узки. Между тѣмъ начальникъ Камчатки Козловъ-Угреинъ разъѣзжалъ постоянно въ возкѣ со стеклами. Подъ возокъ запрягали не менѣе 50 собакъ, а камчадалы по всей дорогѣ вырубали лѣсъ, чтобы возокъ не завязъ. Эти разъѣзды были до того пагубны для собакъ, что все управленіе Козлова-Угреина народъ окрестилъ именемъ собачей оспы. Всѣ мало-мальски значительные люди въ Сибири любили путешествовать. Это было чрезвычайно выгодно -- инородцы даромъ давали подводы, инородцы даромъ кормили проѣзжающихъ; инородцы непремѣнно дарили каждаго рангованнаго человѣка, инородцевъ можно было спаивать виномъ и отнимать у нихъ соболей; съ инородцами можно было сердцеватъ, т. е. притворившись сердечнымъ ихъ доброжелателемъ, выманивать у нихъ цѣнныя вещи!.. Да, тогда русскіе сибиряки любили путешествовать! Когда напр., въ Камчаткѣ учредили областное управленіе и ввели туда батальонъ, то тамъ поселилось множество чиновниковъ и офицеровъ. Батальонъ размѣстили но разнымъ частямъ полуострова. И вотъ тутъ-то разные чины начали разъѣзжать но Камчаткѣ подъ предлогомъ разныхъ смотровъ, свидѣтельствъ и проч., а въ самомъ дѣлѣ для того чтобы вымѣнивать у камчадаловъ на водку соболей и лисицъ. "Мода путешествовать, пишетъ Головнинъ, отъ чиновниковъ распространилась даже на простыхъ подъячихъ и солдатъ, которые просились въ отпускъ, съ тѣмъ чтобы промыслить для себя и для собакъ корму, но купивъ вина, ѣздили по острожкамъ и обманывали камчадаловъ. А зналъ одного офицера, который отпускалъ изъ своей команды солдатъ въ отпускъ и давалъ имъ денегъ на покупку вина, за которыя бралъ проценты по два соболя съ 25 р.; очень вѣроятно, что и многіе такъ дѣлали". Да, многіе такъ дѣлали и не въ одной Камчаткѣ, а по всей Сибири, Вино лилось огненнымъ потокомъ по инородческимъ поселеніямъ, сожигая и инородческое богатство и ихъ здоровую и патріархальную нравственность. Инородецъ все отдаетъ за водку, онъ отдаетъ за нее даже свою свободу. И безсовѣстные торгаши пользовались этимъ; инородцы пропивались до нага и за кратковременное удовольствіе платили продолжительными голодовками, питаясь падалью и толченою древесною корой. До этого ихъ доводила, впрочемъ, не одна виноторговли, но и всякая торговля...."
