With a little-known historical fact today that the basis of the Slavic population of Moscow are the ancient tribes of the Vyatichs, who according to the Russian chronicle are the Lyakhs...

@@rodjarrow6575 Many Slavic tribes participated in the formation of RUSSIA, including the Polyan tribe. it was this tribe that became the center of the formation of Poland. also, the association of Slavic tribes that formed Russia included such tribes as the White Croats and Ilmen Slovenes (the area of Veliky Novgorod), and there were two dozen Slavic tribes united in Russia, plus or minus, the same association included Finnish and Turkic tribes, in the 15th-16th century Siberian tribes were also joined
@@MateoF Sure, I can. What I mean about the borders being the "weakest part" is that they were clearly drawn without any attention to details or without trying to trace them from the original maps. This creates a sense of "border gore", because they are drawn like no borders ever would be, and clearly not like they were actually looking like. That makes them look rather inaccurate and kind of like a doodle, not like a map and it is clear they were drawn by the eye and not traced or anything. That just makes them look really bad, especially when you are already used to how Grand Duchy of Lithuania or Poland were supposed to look like. Sometimes they can be a bit historically inaccurate as well. Like, don't get me wrong, they are still not terrible, and the plot and the historical knowledge and voiceover are really good and that's why I'm watching these, but borders are just something I have to cringe through and hope they won't make me cringe too much. I hope you don't mind.
East slavic tribes -Kryvich, vyatich, drevlyane existed long before Ryurik. They had their own Kings, localized fights between each other , eventually mingled and united starting Russian nation. Ryurik was invited by people of Novgorod.
Rurik was proven a made up legend, not historical fact. DNA tests of Rurikid dynasty bodies were made, they had indeed scandinavian ancestry, but from 11th century, not 9th.
Russian historians simply designated the time period "Kievan Rus" to separate this period from the period of "feudal fragmentation", after which Rus' forever became Muscovite.

Reasonably so. Eastern European history is a mess of names of rulers significant towns and areas, dates of fights, of election of new ruler, of the downfall of empires, of revolutions etc. It's not history that a child can meaningfuly keep up with. In Greece we did learn a tiny amount of Lithuanian Polish empire, the Kievan Rus, the Mongols and Tartars and the Vikings of the north etc. Yet none will remember they were even taught any of these.
It's interesting to me that both Western Europe and Eastern Europe were significantly influenced by the two halves of the Roman Empire. The West dominated by Roman Catholicism while the East dominated by Constantinople's Orthodoxy.

12:28 no natural obstacles or resistance? Are you kidding? It was almost impossible to get to Siberia, they had to drag their ships through mountains,set a stay and live through the winter with almost no food and equipment and then conquer the Siberian tribes while Moscow almost didn’t care about them thus no more people or weapons, keep in mind that it was an unfriendly places with severe weather and they was just a group of Cossacks

Oleg didn't 'found the Kievan Rus'. Kievan Rus isn't a historical term, it's one created by 19th-century Russian historians to refer to the part of Russia's history that was centred around Kiev. In its day, Kievan Rus' was just called "the lands of Rus", which means "the lands of Russia" - "Russia" is the Greek phrasing of Rus. And what's retroactively called "Kievan Rus" didn't originate and wasn't founded in Kiev, but began in Novgorod, which was the first capital of "Kievan Rus". When Oleg conquered Kiev, he expanded the lands of Rus' to include Kiev, and then he moved Rus' captial from Novgorod to Kiev. The conquering and capitalising of Kiev wasn't the founding of Oleg's kingdom or a historical state, it was the expanding of one that already existed.
I can't see the previous comment to reply to it directly, for some reason, but that comment is wrong. Rus' is the name of the tribe which then became the Rus' kingdom with its capital in Novgorod, and which later moved its capital to Kiev in 882. Kiev is older than Novgorod, but Rus' didn't originate in Kiev, and the pre-Rus' Kiev has nothing to do with Russia or Ukraine. Kiev being older than Novgorod really has no relevance to this discussion. The Rus' tribe also predates Novgorod, and they lived in regions further east of Novgorod, though they first formed a state with Novgorod as its capital: "The two original centres of Rus' were Staraja Ladoga and Rurikovo Gorodishche, two points on the Volkhov, a river running for 200 km between Lake Ilmen in the south to Lake Ladoga in the north." "According to the first Russian annals, the Primary Chronicle, Rurik was a Scandinavian "from the tribe of the Rus" whom the people of Novgorod invited in 862 to assume rule over them, as they had been unable to govern themselves. Accompanied by his family and retinue, Rurik settled in Novgorod, and his brothers took control of adjacent regions. The area under their authority came to be called "the land of the Rus" and eventually Rus'. The descendants of Rurik continued to rule over this region following his death about 873."

Its very important. Please translate: Я недавно был в россии. И так, что удалось выяснить по России и русским: - Что меня удивило.... Русские сознательно отказываются от благ цивилизации. И бравируют этим. Они прямо в лицо говорят, что мне не нужен ваш мерседес, я хочу ездить на машине отечественного производства. А интернет мы свой построим. - всю жизнь русских держали в скотском состоянии. И вдруг появилось окно возможностей ярко прожить последние 5-10 дней и умереть в окопе в кругу побратимов. Поэтому они еще долго будут идти убивать. Эта самая большая беда для Украины. И главная мотивация русских. Это необходимо понимать. - русские искренне хотят стереть американцев с лица Земли и радуются их любой неудаче. - русские мечтают дойти до пролива Ла-Манш - Русские хотят уничтожить украинцев. Вначале войны они говорили что хотят просто проучить, как старший брат наказать младшего за непослушание. Теперь русские собираются воевать до тех пор, пока Украина не перестанет быть пригодной для жизни. Возможны временные передышки для набора сил. - Путин был обычным вором. Императором его сделал русский народ, а не пропаганда. - Сегодня русские недовольны только тем, что Путин до сих пор не применил ядерное оружие. - Даже если Украина освободит все свои территории война не закончится. Решить проблему можно только развалом России, чтобы понизить градус имперского величия. Факт - в Европе не понимают на сколько велик этот градус. - Русские готовы терпеть десятки лет любые лишения (ЛЮБЫЕ), лишь бы Украина жила плохо. - Усиление сепаратистских настроений внутри России не приведет к результату. Даже в национальных республиках имперское величие на первом месте. Например в той же Башкирии массам плевать на национальную идентичность. Да и в Казани то же. На митинги они идут только потому что хотят на время почувствовать себя людьми. Но чего то серьезного от них не ждите. - во все времена, всякого рода иностранных авантюристов привлекала Россия. Много ли сегодня таких компаний, которые готовы поставлять в русский Рейх любые товары? ДЕСЯТКИ ТЫСЯЧ. И что прикажете с этим делать? - Запад верит, что русские хотят свободы. Это не просто ошибочное суждение. Это опасное заблуждение. Ответственно заявляю, что подавляющее большинство не хотят. - в США люди живут в стереотипах и мифах о "хорошем народе" и плохом президенте, романтизируя русскую культуру и не понимая, что русская культура - это ФАСАД, за которым скрываются потемкинские деревни. - В США не понимают, что государства Россия уже нет, есть криминальные группировки, которые делят воровской "общаг" и у которых в собственности около 100 000 000 поголовья скота. - Русские не могут дать ничего этому миру. Поэтому ни хотят его уничтожить - Жены мобилизованных играют не последнюю роль, мотивируя своих свинособак пойти на войну и сдохнуть в окопе. "Ты что не мужик"? - похрюкивают свиноматки. - Не Путин убивал украинцев в Буче, Гостомеле, Ирпени, Мариуполе, а простые руские работяги, которых оправдывдывает русская оппозиция, сбежавшая на Запад и морочащая вам головы. Все независимые опросы подтверждают что русские поддерживают войну в Украине. Все - от детей средних классов до старых советских пенсионеров. Не из страха поддеерживают. Искренне поддерживают и всегда эб этом мечтали. Руссские улыбаются когда очередная ракета попадает в жилой дом в Украине. - Русский - это не национальнсть, это состояние души абсолютного раба, готового исполнить любые преступные приказы. В любой стране есть люди с подобной ментальностью, скажете вы. Да. Только в России их не 8-12%, как в цивилизованных странах, а 85-89%. - Оппозиция любит говорить что выборы в России были нечестными. Да, но если бы они были честными, то Путин набрал бы не меньше 75%. Он бы потерял голоса тех избирателей, которые считают Путина достаточно мягким.

Yeap, I was searching such a comment, because that is true - we - Russians fight and lost, fight and lost time and time again, but the Mongol horde lost a part of their numbers - of course I want to say major part, but I do not now numbers, so let limit only to part.

@@НикитаГруздов-т8э It's something I'm sympathetic to, because the common understanding of Chinese resistance was "China fell, Yuan was declared, and then the Mongols conquered everyone". this comes from a misunderstanding of the "China among Equals" period, where the Jurchen (proto Manchu) dynasty was able to conquer a significant chunk of the northern heartland, including Beijing, and declared themselves as the holders of the Mandate of Heaven. They fell to the Mongols quickly, but the Song dynasty held out long enough (till 1279) for the Mongols to have brought over Persian trebuchets, subjugated the Russian principalities (1230s-40s), invaded Lithuania, Poland, the Romanian principalities, Hungary, Austria, northeast Italy, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria (1240s), sacked Baghdad, and pushed into Anatolia and the Levant before they fell.

@@N0NamedGui well, I do sound alright. the key thing is that Rurik and his family were Slavonians, unlike the false history insinuations about his Scandinavian origin. back then, as always, people did care about culture. it was important for the ruler to come from a similar or identical culture, ans speak the same language, otherwise it would've been a slavery. only slaves do not need to understand the language of the ruler. so, think twice before you write something here

Fun Fact: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as a puppet state of London. London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene. Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it. There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.
@@sravasaksitam The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.

The Civil War was almost entirely a ground war, so it is amazing how a few Russian ships out in the ocean could have made much of a difference. They didn't stop the Confederates from trading cotton or tobacco with Europeans in exchange for weaponry. So you might say the Russians did almost nothing.
@@texaswunderkind For a little more context: The British (City of London) are the ones who created our divide in the first place to put brother against brother. After the war Lincoln wanted to rebuild the South and had plans to do so. He and half his Cabinet were assassinated by London. Many of the others that survived had multiple assassination attempts on them especially William Seward who had like a dozen or so, many almost killing him. Most of the Operations for the Civil War and post war plans and assassinations were made in London and then sent to Montreal a hub for spies and intel in the Americas for the British Empire then passed through to Confederate President Jefferson Davis to follow the orders. Many of the South's own leaders were selling out the South to British interest even General Lee. Unfortunately London had many of their Tentacles and Webs on both sides. Lincoln stated that the Department Of State is completely controlled by British Interest that he had to constantly fight against. It was in the 1870s that a Paradigm Shift happened were the British took control within the Reunited States through subversion (which was easy to do so as all their agents were brought back into the Union and a large part of their opposition killed) and have had it all the way up to this day. Some presidents fought against it like Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt, and Kennedy and all were killed. Probably the best book to read on the subject is "The Clash of the Two Americas. The Unfinished Symphony" by Matthew Ehret. I have no affiliation with them but they also have an audiobook which can make it easier since not many people like to sit down and read anymore. It has multiple references on the bottom of each page of the book.

Rus’ *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.

Otherwise we'd need to rename Germany into Deutschland, Japan into Nippon and Greece into Ellada.
Understanding what? Primitive Russophobic propaganda? It was exposed back in the 17th century by the Russian historian, academician Lomonosov: the version that Rurik is of Scandinavian origin was invented by the Swedes during their war with Peter 1. This is banal, military propaganda. Rurik was from the Baltic Slavs, and this is officially recognized by all real historians. And advice for the future: in relation to Russia, from English-speaking sources - you will never hear anything but lies and propaganda. You can not even hope to find at least something true - you will not find it.

There were many principalities in Rus', and in different periods different principalities had greater influence. First, Novgorod was the most influential, then Kiev became the most influential. then Rus' fell into decline, after which Kiev lost all influence as it was plundered and burned, and the Grand Duchy of Vladimir became the new center of influence in Rus' for objective reasons, then the Grand Duchy of Vladimir turned into the Grand Duchy of Moscow, again simply because on the territory In the most influential Principality of Rus', a new most influential city appeared, which, for objective reasons, like Kiev and Novgorod earlier, began to attract wealth and people, Moscow became the most important trading center of Rus'. And after that, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, having depleted most of the free Rus', Turns into Tsardom of Russia and later into the Russian Empire. Not one historian in the world has no doubts about this. Only among Ukrainians, whose entire Wikipedia is full of both pseudo-history and lies, moreover, closed from editing? How is it that the Ukrainian wiki is 80% different from wikis in any other languages of the world where everything converges into the same facts. What are you afraid of closing articles from editing? What would real historians and scientists not be able to correct this nonsense? And yes, at what point in history, except in your imagination, did the name Muscovy exist as real name of the state?
I think it's because they have a national identity crisis. There are also many nationalistic biggots on both sides (Russia & Ukraine). Just with a logicial & unbiased mindset, anyone should see that they all share the same heritage. It reflects their language, culture & history. Super sad to see how they divided. I personally blame a mixture of the Mongol Invasion, the Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth & Communism for the division of the Rus (Belarus, Russia, Ukraine)
Muscovy is called in other languages the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Just as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is simply called Lithuania. This can be seen if you watch this video in different languages (this channel has analogues in different languages and related videos)

So was Ladoga Rus (approximately 859-862), Novgorod Rus (862-882), Vladimir Rus (1243-1389), then Moscow Rus (1389-1547 (or 1478)). It was just Rus'. We don't say "Moscow Russia" or "Petersburg Russia", no, we don't. 4) When Kyiv was captured by Prince Oleg, he gave him the title "Mother of Russian Cities". And throughout our history, Kyiv has been with such a title. 5) The art that has developed throughout the history of Rus' is called Old Russian art. (Even on Wikipedia it says) 6) “Let us not disgrace the Russian land, but lie down with bones, for the dead have no shame!” (It is difficult to translate into English) - this is how Prince Svyatoslav addressed the squad before the battle of Arcadiopol in 970. This is the expression of Prince Svyatoslav from "The Tale of Bygone Years". 7)Rus and the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Russian kingdom (until 1598) were ruled by the Rurik dynasty.

Well Siberia was an empty wasteland and it was completely uninhabitable, it had a lot of natural resources but nobody new that until the Russians came along. They quickly expanded and claimed the whole region because there was no human resistance as they were the first to claim the area
There was a fierce stubborn resistance of the Russian Slavs to the Mongol hordes. A lot of examples, incl a town of Koselsk (near modern Ryazan), that had been called The Fierce Town by the Mongols with all of its people incl women fighting to the end. But the forces were clearly unequal. It was a giant Horde and if not for the total Russian resistance that had depleted its initial punch, all of the Europe would have been conquered. You can see it from the sheer size of the Mongol empire set up by Genghis Khan who had subdued the China in the first place

And, dear Ukrainians, whether you like it or not, the official date of the founding of Novgorod is considered to be 859, according to the first mention of the city in the late Nikon Chronicle (XVI century). In the Tale of Bygone Years, created in the 12th century, the city was first mentioned in 862. This is exactly the case in all official sources. Yes, the Novgorod that we see now was rebuilt later, according to various historical research. But again, it is known that before this there was a settlement on the Rurik Settlement, a little upstream of the Volkhov and closer to Lake Ilmen. Also, there is a theory that there was a settlement in the Peryn area, as evidenced by various archaeological finds from 5-8 centuries from different cultures, which suggests that even then trade was carried out on these lands

Its very important. Please translate: Я недавно был в россии. И так, что удалось выяснить по России и русским: - Что меня удивило.... Русские сознательно отказываются от благ цивилизации. И бравируют этим. Они прямо в лицо говорят, что мне не нужен ваш мерседес, я хочу ездить на машине отечественного производства. А интернет мы свой построим. - всю жизнь русских держали в скотском состоянии. И вдруг появилось окно возможностей ярко прожить последние 5-10 дней и умереть в окопе в кругу побратимов. Поэтому они еще долго будут идти убивать. Эта самая большая беда для Украины. И главная мотивация русских. Это необходимо понимать. - русские искренне хотят стереть американцев с лица Земли и радуются их любой неудаче. - русские мечтают дойти до пролива Ла-Манш - Русские хотят уничтожить украинцев. Вначале войны они говорили что хотят просто проучить, как старший брат наказать младшего за непослушание. Теперь русские собираются воевать до тех пор, пока Украина не перестанет быть пригодной для жизни. Возможны временные передышки для набора сил. - Путин был обычным вором. Императором его сделал русский народ, а не пропаганда. - Сегодня русские недовольны только тем, что Путин до сих пор не применил ядерное оружие. - Даже если Украина освободит все свои территории война не закончится. Решить проблему можно только развалом России, чтобы понизить градус имперского величия. Факт - в Европе не понимают на сколько велик этот градус. - Русские готовы терпеть десятки лет любые лишения (ЛЮБЫЕ), лишь бы Украина жила плохо. - Усиление сепаратистских настроений внутри России не приведет к результату. Даже в национальных республиках имперское величие на первом месте. Например в той же Башкирии массам плевать на национальную идентичность. Да и в Казани то же. На митинги они идут только потому что хотят на время почувствовать себя людьми. Но чего то серьезного от них не ждите. - во все времена, всякого рода иностранных авантюристов привлекала Россия. Много ли сегодня таких компаний, которые готовы поставлять в русский Рейх любые товары? ДЕСЯТКИ ТЫСЯЧ. И что прикажете с этим делать? - Запад верит, что русские хотят свободы. Это не просто ошибочное суждение. Это опасное заблуждение. Ответственно заявляю, что подавляющее большинство не хотят. - в США люди живут в стереотипах и мифах о "хорошем народе" и плохом президенте, романтизируя русскую культуру и не понимая, что русская культура - это ФАСАД, за которым скрываются потемкинские деревни. - В США не понимают, что государства Россия уже нет, есть криминальные группировки, которые делят воровской "общаг" и у которых в собственности около 100 000 000 поголовья скота. - Русские не могут дать ничего этому миру. Поэтому ни хотят его уничтожить - Жены мобилизованных играют не последнюю роль, мотивируя своих свинособак пойти на войну и сдохнуть в окопе. "Ты что не мужик"? - похрюкивают свиноматки. - Не Путин убивал украинцев в Буче, Гостомеле, Ирпени, Мариуполе, а простые руские работяги, которых оправдывдывает русская оппозиция, сбежавшая на Запад и морочащая вам головы. Все независимые опросы подтверждают что русские поддерживают войну в Украине. Все - от детей средних классов до старых советских пенсионеров. Не из страха поддеерживают. Искренне поддерживают и всегда эб этом мечтали. Руссские улыбаются когда очередная ракета попадает в жилой дом в Украине. - Русский - это не национальнсть, это состояние души абсолютного раба, готового исполнить любые преступные приказы. В любой стране есть люди с подобной ментальностью, скажете вы. Да. Только в России их не 8-12%, как в цивилизованных странах, а 85-89%. - Оппозиция любит говорить что выборы в России были нечестными. Да, но если бы они были честными, то Путин набрал бы не меньше 75%. Он бы потерял голоса тех избирателей, которые считают Путина достаточно мягким.

@sir hill Wow! Let’s everyone go back to his indigenous land then! My argument is different. Without Soviet victory there would be neither Poland nor Russia as we know them today. Polish people should be more humble and less full of themselves for Poland was defeated and subdued, what they have now has bee given to them at the expense of millions of German people who were ethnically cleansed from Silesia, East Prussia, and Pomerania.
@sir hill why did the Second World War not begin with the partition of Czechoslovakia by Poland and Germany? Ah, it's inconvenient just to remember it. I understand. I will also add that Poland was divided not by Germany and Russia, but by Germany and the USSR. You need to know the history
@@ericingefara4179 This 1k km2 of Silesia was taken from us by force in 1919, and we agreed to keep it in Czechoslovakia in 1920, when Red Army was at the Warsaw gates.

We were not a signatory of Munich treaty, and we earlier proposed Czechs common defence against Germans, but Benes wonted us to allow Stalin's Red Army to go through Poland with help for them. Great idea! ;-) And contrary to Germans or soviet's we did not threw out people from their houses, nor arrest them and send to Siberia, nor shut in the back of head... That makes the difference which Putin is not telling for an obvious reasons (although he likes to remind this example of "polish aggression" as a counter - example for soviets massive genocide crimes). And if you diversify so strictly between Russia and USSR, why Russians are not doing this, or doing this only to deny ties between soviet genocides and Russia?
More like Polish-Polish-Polish empire. It might have been called Poland-Lithuania, but Lithuanians were marginalised and polonised (and Ruthenians were practically cattle).
There are such a good scenario in this it could be used for a 8 seasons TV show like Game of thrones :) Joke apart, this is truly interesting... and complex history !

This is so interesting and makes you think about the politics of Russia and the immense historical data accessible to them to study in depth civilizations, conflicts, and human nature revealed over centuries. The same thing can be said of china.
One of the things I love about studying history, is that you often can see the unfolding of events over time. For instance, the year of 1848 was pivotal in world history due to the large numbers of wars and rebellions going on. I don't have the energy to type a dissertation, so I'll keep it short. It shaped much of early 20th century Europe, that lead to both World Wars (and several interim conflicts and wars). It also starts to put current events into a different perspective as well. When Russia first moved into Ukraine, Putin said something about reclaiming ancient lands. I'm in no way supporting what he is doing, but objectively; Kiev is 'ancient Russia'. *I will re-iterate. I oppose this illegal war and believe in a free, peaceful and sovereign Ukraine.*

5:51 The Bolghar people are not Bulgarians. They're Bulgars, they are another state that splintered from the dissolution of Great Old Bulgaria. However, the Bulgars that arrived at the Danube and what then became Bulgaria are not the same people. The Bulgars were the ruling minority in a country predominantly settled by Greeks, Slavs, Thracians, etc., and with time due to intermixing the line was blurred at some point and the minorities got absorbed into the vast Slav majority. However, the Volga Bulgars were just that, Bulgars. Not Bulgarians.
there are many things that are simplified, under-discussed or erroneous. Rooss is more fragmented than it was shown on the map, there were tribes and cities to hell, this is not considering the nomads. Novgorod most likely already existed, but was captured by the Normans, in the records of Byzantium they appear as areas from which raids took place. Kiev was conquered by the Ruriks from relatives. Local princes were elected according to the Norman format. Everyone is simplifying that there was originally a monarchy. Byzantium and the dynasty could have tried to erase pagan history. According to the stone buildings, degradation can be traced after baptism. Lithuanian Orthodoxy was largely secured by the territories captured from Russia, their later reconquest was further secured by the subsequent uprisings. It can be assumed that the campaign of Ermak had parallels with the campaign of Cortes, local tribes, already erased in history, were terrorized by the Tatars. They easily obeyed, but Kuchum's troops were constantly stuck on the border and waiting for the Cossacks to withdraw.

But russians never built a state and now russia under go the third wave of breaking up so as a result soon you will see russia totally crushed.

One gets the impression that the author is simply quoting propagandistic history textbooks that have been produced in Moscow for centuries.
Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes. May, Timothy. “The Jochid Ulus or Golden Horde.” The Mongol Empire, Edinburgh University Press, 2018, pp. 280-314,
Ulus Juchi was part of Golden Horde. This name was deleted by moscovian officials when they try to argue their claims on old Rus' in 17-18th centuries. Later they officially steal the name "Russia" from Ukraine (1721). Actually modern Russian Federation has wery few connections to old medieval Rus' politically and culturally. It's typical post Mongol Khanate (state) with strong cultural and ethnic influence of ancient finnish tribes.

Country with the name - Muscovy, Tsar Peter renamed "Russia" only in the 18th century, in 1721.

Sorry to be "that guy", but Vikings were not an ethnicity or group, the term "Vikings" refers to a profession, a raider.

I'm sure the creators of this chanel are well aware of this fact, but I wanted to point it out in case anyone here didn't know that. It's true, in popular culture and modern day vernacular, just about everyone calls them Vikings, so it's totally acceptable and 99% of people wouldn't call you out on it if you referred to them this way.
And even more I could say, Rurik and his band are probably slavs themselves, coming from the northern Germany - from Pomerania (Pommern), which at that time was completely slavic
By the way, I can also add about the whole story of “Viking invitation”. It is impossible to build state where is no base for that. Russian land at that time (IX century) was settled by different tribes which had no state form, but had some kind of land organisation, there were a lot of cities (Gardarika - land of cities) existed, and historians prove that Novgorod existed before normans came

That makes them look rather inaccurate and kind of like a doodle, not like a map and it is clear they were drawn by the eye and not traced or anything.

Rurik was proven a made up legend, not historical fact. DNA tests of Rurikid dynasty bodies were made, they had indeed scandinavian ancestry, but from 11th century, not 9th.
There was nothing "russian" about them. Russian nationality formed much, much later.

Oleg didn't 'found the Kievan Rus'. Kievan Rus isn't a historical term, it's one created by 19th-century Russian historians to refer to the part of Russia's history that was centred around Kiev. In its day, Kievan Rus' was just called "the lands of Rus", which means "the lands of Russia" - "Russia" is the Greek phrasing of Rus. And what's retroactively called "Kievan Rus" didn't originate and wasn't founded in Kiev, but began in Novgorod, which was the first capital of "Kievan Rus". When Oleg conquered Kiev, he expanded the lands of Rus' to include Kiev, and then he moved Rus' captial from Novgorod to Kiev. The conquering and capitalising of Kiev wasn't the founding of Oleg's kingdom or a historical state, it was the expanding of one that already existed.
Додик, Новгород не являлся Русью вовсе, и по археологическим данным основан не ранее 930 года, Киев на несколько веков старше Новгорода.

I can't see the previous comment to reply to it directly, for some reason, but that comment is wrong. Rus' is the name of the tribe which then became the Rus' kingdom with its capital in Novgorod, and which later moved its capital to Kiev in 882. Kiev is older than Novgorod, but Rus' didn't originate in Kiev, and the pre-Rus' Kiev has nothing to do with Russia or Ukraine. Kiev being older than Novgorod really has no relevance to this discussion.
The Rus' tribe also predates Novgorod, and they lived in regions further east of Novgorod, though they first formed a state with Novgorod as its capital: "The two original centres of Rus' were Staraja Ladoga and Rurikovo Gorodishche, two points on the Volkhov, a river running for 200 km between Lake Ilmen in the south to Lake Ladoga in the north."
"According to the first Russian annals, the Primary Chronicle, Rurik was a Scandinavian "from the tribe of the Rus" whom the people of Novgorod invited in 862 to assume rule over them, as they had been unable to govern themselves. Accompanied by his family and retinue, Rurik settled in Novgorod, and his brothers took control of adjacent regions. The area under their authority came to be called "the land of the Rus" and eventually Rus'. The descendants of Rurik continued to rule over this region following his death about 873."

We know about Rurik from the chronicles written by Nestor centuries after the events he describes. Apart from this mention, there are no other sources. Rurik is a legendary person. According to archaeological data, no cultural layer earlier than the 10th century was found in Novgorod, but the legendary Rurik, somehow, could appear there in |X. None of the Kievan princes is mentioned in the annals as Rurikovich. According to the annals, Rus' is localized as Kyiv, Chernigov, Pereyaslav... Novgorodians are not Rusyns - they are Novgorodians, and nothing else. In the annals for 1141 we read: “And when Svyatoslav (Olgovich) fled from Novgorod to Rus' to his brother, Vsevolod sent to meet him.” That is, Novgorod is not Rus.

It is true, and what is more true is that even if life are extinguish, Nature doesn't care, as it is still a part of nature at the end.
That is the law of the entire Universe. Matter and life are all cyclical. But do we understand the why? Why is existence in an ever expanding Universe cyclical instead of a steady line of immortal progression? Does the illusion of choice which humans and other animals make really even matter in the grand scheme of things here on Earth when eventually our Sun will die too? All of our historical choices will be for naught. The rest of the Universe does not care.
“In the end we will be judged not by what we have destroyed.
But what we have created.”

Я недавно был в россии.
И так, что удалось выяснить по России и русским:
- Что меня удивило.... Русские сознательно отказываются от благ цивилизации. И бравируют этим. Они прямо в лицо говорят, что мне не нужен ваш мерседес, я хочу ездить на машине отечественного производства. А интернет мы свой построим.
- всю жизнь русских держали в скотском состоянии. И вдруг появилось окно возможностей ярко прожить последние 5-10 дней и умереть в окопе в кругу побратимов. Поэтому они еще долго будут идти убивать. Эта самая большая беда для Украины. И главная мотивация русских. Это необходимо понимать.
- русские искренне хотят стереть американцев с лица Земли и радуются их любой неудаче.
- русские мечтают дойти до пролива Ла-Манш
- Русские хотят уничтожить украинцев. Вначале войны они говорили что хотят просто проучить, как старший брат наказать младшего за непослушание. Теперь русские собираются воевать до тех пор, пока Украина не перестанет быть пригодной для жизни. Возможны временные передышки для набора сил.
- Путин был обычным вором. Императором его сделал русский народ, а не пропаганда.
- Сегодня русские недовольны только тем, что Путин до сих пор не применил ядерное оружие.
- Даже если Украина освободит все свои территории война не закончится. Решить проблему можно только развалом России, чтобы понизить градус имперского величия. Факт - в Европе не понимают на сколько велик этот градус.
- Русские готовы терпеть десятки лет любые лишения (ЛЮБЫЕ), лишь бы Украина жила плохо.
- Усиление сепаратистских настроений внутри России не приведет к результату. Даже в национальных республиках имперское величие на первом месте. Например в той же Башкирии массам плевать на национальную идентичность. Да и в Казани то же. На митинги они идут только потому что хотят на время почувствовать себя людьми. Но чего то серьезного от них не ждите.
- во все времена, всякого рода иностранных авантюристов привлекала Россия. Много ли сегодня таких компаний, которые готовы поставлять в русский Рейх любые товары? ДЕСЯТКИ ТЫСЯЧ. И что прикажете с этим делать?
- Запад верит, что русские хотят свободы. Это не просто ошибочное суждение. Это опасное заблуждение. Ответственно заявляю, что подавляющее большинство не хотят.
- в США люди живут в стереотипах и мифах о "хорошем народе" и плохом президенте, романтизируя русскую культуру и не понимая, что русская культура - это ФАСАД, за которым скрываются потемкинские деревни.
- В США не понимают, что государства Россия уже нет, есть криминальные группировки, которые делят воровской "общаг" и у которых в собственности около 100 000 000 поголовья скота.
- Русские не могут дать ничего этому миру. Поэтому ни хотят его уничтожить
- Жены мобилизованных играют не последнюю роль, мотивируя своих свинособак пойти на войну и сдохнуть в окопе. "Ты что не мужик"? - похрюкивают свиноматки.
- Не Путин убивал украинцев в Буче, Гостомеле, Ирпени, Мариуполе, а простые руские работяги, которых оправдывдывает русская оппозиция, сбежавшая на Запад и морочащая вам головы. Все независимые опросы подтверждают что русские поддерживают войну в Украине. Все - от детей средних классов до старых советских пенсионеров. Не из страха поддеерживают. Искренне поддерживают и всегда эб этом мечтали. Руссские улыбаются когда очередная ракета попадает в жилой дом в Украине.
- Русский - это не национальнсть, это состояние души абсолютного раба, готового исполнить любые преступные приказы. В любой стране есть люди с подобной ментальностью, скажете вы. Да. Только в России их не 8-12%, как в цивилизованных странах, а 85-89%.
- Оппозиция любит говорить что выборы в России были нечестными. Да, но если бы они были честными, то Путин набрал бы не меньше 75%. Он бы потерял голоса тех избирателей, которые считают Путина достаточно мягким.

Why Mongols win? Because feudal diversity - one "prince " we call kniaz - князь - can fight alone against whole of horde and eventually lose to power of numbers, tactics and superior power of cavalry units, later on Huangary fight also in hard battles mainly due to internal problems between monarch and aristocracy, also lose, go to retreat, some years later return to already diminished force due to attrition from fight and diseases which also were at way back to Mongol capital due the death of chan
@@НикитаГруздов-т8э It's something I'm sympathetic to, because the common understanding of Chinese resistance was "China fell, Yuan was declared, and then the Mongols conquered everyone". this comes from a misunderstanding of the "China among Equals" period, where the Jurchen (proto Manchu) dynasty was able to conquer a significant chunk of the northern heartland, including Beijing, and declared themselves as the holders of the Mandate of Heaven. They fell to the Mongols quickly, but the Song dynasty held out long enough (till 1279) for the Mongols to have brought over Persian trebuchets, subjugated the Russian principalities (1230s-40s), invaded Lithuania, Poland, the Romanian principalities, Hungary, Austria, northeast Italy, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria (1240s), sacked Baghdad, and pushed into Anatolia and the Levant before they fell.
I would like to say that Rurik didn't found principality of Novgorod, Novgorodish people invited him to be their king

@@N0NamedGui well, I do sound alright. the key thing is that Rurik and his family were Slavonians, unlike the false history insinuations about his Scandinavian origin. back then, as always, people did care about culture. it was important for the ruler to come from a similar or identical culture, ans speak the same language, otherwise it would've been a slavery. only slaves do not need to understand the language of the ruler. so, think twice before you write something here

Fun Fact: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as a puppet state of London.
London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene.
Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it.
There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the

Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.

The Civil War was almost entirely a ground war, so it is amazing how a few Russian ships out in the ocean could have made much of a difference. They didn't stop the Confederates from trading cotton or tobacco with Europeans in exchange for weaponry. So you might say the Russians did almost nothing.
@@texaswunderkind For a little more context: The British (City of London) are the ones who created our divide in the first place to put brother against brother. After the war Lincoln wanted to rebuild the South and had plans to do so. He and half his Cabinet were assassinated by London. Many of the others that survived had multiple assassination attempts on them especially William Seward who had like a dozen or so, many almost killing him. Most of the Operations for the Civil War and post war plans and assassinations were made in London and then sent to Montreal a hub for spies and intel in the Americas for the British Empire then passed through to Confederate President Jefferson Davis to follow the orders. Many of the South's own leaders were selling out the South to British interest even General Lee. Unfortunately London had many of their Tentacles and Webs on both sides. Lincoln stated that the Department Of State is completely controlled by British Interest that he had to constantly fight against. It was in the 1870s that a Paradigm Shift happened were the British took control within the Reunited States through subversion (which was easy to do so as all their agents were brought back into the Union and a large part of their opposition killed) and have had it all the way up to this day. Some presidents fought against it like Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt, and Kennedy and all were killed. Probably the best book to read on the subject is "The Clash of the Two Americas. The Unfinished Symphony" by Matthew Ehret. I have no affiliation with them but they also have an audiobook which can make it easier since not many people like to sit down and read anymore. It has multiple references on the bottom of each page of the book.

Rus’
*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.
@@vredacted3125 "“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine"
Do you even understand how absolutely stupid this sounds?
Ukraine is just a Russian word for "border region". Russia started in Kiev and even though it lost Kiev for some time, that doesn't mean that somehow Russia now is an offshoot of the "border region".

Your maps are THE BEST backdrop to your script . . . EVER. It makes so many connections for my understanding. Thanks!!
Understanding what? Primitive Russophobic propaganda? It was exposed back in the 17th century by the Russian historian, academician Lomonosov: the version that Rurik is of Scandinavian origin was invented by the Swedes during their war with Peter 1. This is banal, military propaganda. Rurik was from the Baltic Slavs, and this is officially recognized by all real historians.
And advice for the future: in relation to Russia, from English-speaking sources - you will never hear anything but lies and propaganda. You can not even hope to find at least something true - you will not find it.
@@alexgainsborough4921 Ukrainians are Polished Russians who arose during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. You are afraid to admit it because it is a nightmare for you.
There were many principalities in Rus', and in different periods different principalities had greater influence. First, Novgorod was the most influential, then Kiev became the most influential. then Rus' fell into decline, after which Kiev lost all influence as it was plundered and burned, and the Grand Duchy of Vladimir became the new center of influence in Rus' for objective reasons, then the Grand Duchy of Vladimir turned into the Grand Duchy of Moscow, again simply because on the territory In the most influential Principality of Rus', a new most influential city appeared, which, for objective reasons, like Kiev and Novgorod earlier, began to attract wealth and people, Moscow became the most important trading center of Rus'. And after that, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, having depleted most of the free Rus', Turns into Tsardom of Russia and later into the Russian Empire. Not one historian in the world has no doubts about this. Only among Ukrainians, whose entire Wikipedia is full of both pseudo-history and lies, moreover, closed from editing? How is it that the Ukrainian wiki is 80% different from wikis in any other languages of the world where everything converges into the same facts. What are you afraid of closing articles from editing? What would real historians and scientists not be able to correct this nonsense? And yes, at what point in history, except in your imagination, did the name Muscovy exist as real name of the state?
I think it's because they have a national identity crisis. There are also many nationalistic biggots on both sides (Russia & Ukraine).
Just with a logicial & unbiased mindset, anyone should see that they all share the same heritage. It reflects their language, culture & history.
Super sad to see how they divided.
I personally blame a mixture of the Mongol Invasion, the Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth & Communism for the division of the Rus (Belarus, Russia, Ukraine)
Muscovy is called in other languages the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Just as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is simply called Lithuania.
This can be seen if you watch this video in different languages (this channel has analogues in different languages and related videos)
@@Ki-dz4ro 1) Anna Yaroslavna (daughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wise and Queen of France) in the west is called Anna Russian.
2) Also Rus' and Russia - the words are similar.
3) The term "Kievan Rus" appeared only in the 19th century, as a designation of the time period when Kyiv was the capital of the country. So was Ladoga Rus (approximately 859-862), Novgorod Rus (862-882), Vladimir Rus (1243-1389), then Moscow Rus (1389-1547 (or 1478)). It was just Rus'. We don't say "Moscow Russia" or "Petersburg Russia", no, we don't.
4) When Kyiv was captured by Prince Oleg, he gave him the title "Mother of Russian Cities". And throughout our history, Kyiv has been with such a title.
5) The art that has developed throughout the history of Rus' is called Old Russian art. (Even on Wikipedia it says)
6) “Let us not disgrace the Russian land, but lie down with bones, for the dead have no shame!” (It is difficult to translate into English) - this is how Prince Svyatoslav addressed the squad before the battle of Arcadiopol in 970.
This is the expression of Prince Svyatoslav from "The Tale of Bygone Years".

There was a fierce stubborn resistance of the Russian Slavs to the Mongol hordes. A lot of examples, incl a town of Koselsk (near modern Ryazan), that had been called The Fierce Town by the Mongols with all of its people incl women fighting to the end. But the forces were clearly unequal. It was a giant Horde and if not for the total Russian resistance that had depleted its initial punch, all of the Europe would have been conquered. You can see it from the sheer size of the Mongol empire set up by Genghis Khan who had subdued the China in the first place

And, dear Ukrainians, whether you like it or not, the official date of the founding of Novgorod is considered to be 859, according to the first mention of the city in the late Nikon Chronicle (XVI century). In the Tale of Bygone Years, created in the 12th century, the city was first mentioned in 862. This is exactly the case in all official sources. Yes, the Novgorod that we see now was rebuilt later, according to various historical research. But again, it is known that before this there was a settlement on the Rurik Settlement, a little upstream of the Volkhov and closer to Lake Ilmen. Also, there is a theory that there was a settlement in the Peryn area, as evidenced by various archaeological finds from 5-8 centuries from different cultures, which suggests that even then trade was carried out on these lands
And what can you say about Kyiv celebrating 1500 years from the foundation in USSR in 1982?
It means that Kyiv is centuries older than Novgorod.
@@dddo3706 Kyiv was first mentioned in documents in 915, Novgorod in 859. What's the question? If we take all sorts of myths and legends as a source, then both cities are older, but we are talking about official sources and documents, right?

Я недавно был в россии.
И так, что удалось выяснить по России и русским:
- Что меня удивило.... Русские сознательно отказываются от благ цивилизации. И бравируют этим. Они прямо в лицо говорят, что мне не нужен ваш мерседес, я хочу ездить на машине отечественного производства. А интернет мы свой построим.
- всю жизнь русских держали в скотском состоянии. И вдруг появилось окно возможностей ярко прожить последние 5-10 дней и умереть в окопе в кругу побратимов. Поэтому они еще долго будут идти убивать. Эта самая большая беда для Украины. И главная мотивация русских. Это необходимо понимать.
- русские искренне хотят стереть американцев с лица Земли и радуются их любой неудаче.
- русские мечтают дойти до пролива Ла-Манш
- Русские хотят уничтожить украинцев. Вначале войны они говорили что хотят просто проучить, как старший брат наказать младшего за непослушание. Теперь русские собираются воевать до тех пор, пока Украина не перестанет быть пригодной для жизни. Возможны временные передышки для набора сил.
- Путин был обычным вором. Императором его сделал русский народ, а не пропаганда.
- Сегодня русские недовольны только тем, что Путин до сих пор не применил ядерное оружие.
- Даже если Украина освободит все свои территории война не закончится. Решить проблему можно только развалом России, чтобы понизить градус имперского величия. Факт - в Европе не понимают на сколько велик этот градус.
- Русские готовы терпеть десятки лет любые лишения (ЛЮБЫЕ), лишь бы Украина жила плохо.
- Усиление сепаратистских настроений внутри России не приведет к результату. Даже в национальных республиках имперское величие на первом месте. Например в той же Башкирии массам плевать на национальную идентичность. Да и в Казани то же. На митинги они идут только потому что хотят на время почувствовать себя людьми. Но чего то серьезного от них не ждите.
- во все времена, всякого рода иностранных авантюристов привлекала Россия. Много ли сегодня таких компаний, которые готовы поставлять в русский Рейх любые товары? ДЕСЯТКИ ТЫСЯЧ. И что прикажете с этим делать?
- Запад верит, что русские хотят свободы. Это не просто ошибочное суждение. Это опасное заблуждение. Ответственно заявляю, что подавляющее большинство не хотят.
- в США люди живут в стереотипах и мифах о "хорошем народе" и плохом президенте, романтизируя русскую культуру и не понимая, что русская культура - это ФАСАД, за которым скрываются потемкинские деревни.
- В США не понимают, что государства Россия уже нет, есть криминальные группировки, которые делят воровской "общаг" и у которых в собственности около 100 000 000 поголовья скота.
- Русские не могут дать ничего этому миру. Поэтому ни хотят его уничтожить
- Жены мобилизованных играют не последнюю роль, мотивируя своих свинособак пойти на войну и сдохнуть в окопе. "Ты что не мужик"? - похрюкивают свиноматки.
- Не Путин убивал украинцев в Буче, Гостомеле, Ирпени, Мариуполе, а простые руские работяги, которых оправдывдывает русская оппозиция, сбежавшая на Запад и морочащая вам головы. Все независимые опросы подтверждают что русские поддерживают войну в Украине. Все - от детей средних классов до старых советских пенсионеров. Не из страха поддеерживают. Искренне поддерживают и всегда эб этом мечтали. Руссские улыбаются когда очередная ракета попадает в жилой дом в Украине.
- Русский - это не национальнсть, это состояние души абсолютного раба, готового исполнить любые преступные приказы. В любой стране есть люди с подобной ментальностью, скажете вы. Да. Только в России их не 8-12%, как в цивилизованных странах, а 85-89%.
- Оппозиция любит говорить что выборы в России были нечестными. Да, но если бы они были честными, то Путин набрал бы не меньше 75%. Он бы потерял голоса тех избирателей, которые считают Путина достаточно мягким.
1610: Imagine what could happen if polish king didn't want to convert Russia into catholicism and he became Tsar. History would be totally different with Polish-Lithuanian-Russian Empire.
Uncle Joe made a mistake to enlarge Poland at the expense of Germany.
@sir hill Wow! Let’s everyone go back to his indigenous land then! My argument is different. Without Soviet victory there would be neither Poland nor Russia as we know them today. Polish people should be more humble and less full of themselves for Poland was defeated and subdued, what they have now has bee given to them at the expense of millions of German people who were ethnically cleansed from Silesia, East Prussia, and Pomerania.
@sir hill why did the Second World War not begin with the partition of Czechoslovakia by Poland and Germany? Ah, it's inconvenient just to remember it. I understand. I will also add that Poland was divided not by Germany and Russia, but by Germany and the USSR. You need to know the history
@@ericingefara4179 This 1k km2 of Silesia was taken from us by force in 1919, and we agreed to keep it in Czechoslovakia in 1920, when Red Army was at the Warsaw gates. Btw, in 1919 there was approx 150 k. Poles living there, but in 1938 only 20 k....
We were not a signatory of Munich treaty, and we earlier proposed Czechs common defence against Germans, but Benes wonted us to allow Stalin's Red Army to go through Poland with help for them. Great idea! ;-) And contrary to Germans or soviet's we did not threw out people from their houses, nor arrest them and send to Siberia, nor shut in the back of head...
That makes the difference which Putin is not telling for an obvious reasons (although he likes to remind this example of "polish aggression" as a counter - example for soviets massive genocide crimes).
And if you diversify so strictly between Russia and USSR, why Russians are not doing this, or doing this only to deny ties between soviet genocides and Russia?
More like Polish-Polish-Polish empire. It might have been called Poland-Lithuania, but Lithuanians were marginalised and polonised (and Ruthenians were practically cattle).
There are such a good scenario in this it could be used for a 8 seasons TV show like Game of thrones :)
Joke apart, this is truly interesting... and complex history !
indeed it is! For example before Ivan III the Great was Visilliy II the Dark - his face was mutilated and he was blinded by his rivals who hope he will never get on the throne being blind, but he claimed the throne and rule for the 37 years

One of the things I love about studying history, is that you often can see the unfolding of events over time. For instance, the year of 1848 was pivotal in world history due to the large numbers of wars and rebellions going on. I don't have the energy to type a dissertation, so I'll keep it short. It shaped much of early 20th century Europe, that lead to both World Wars (and several interim conflicts and wars). It also starts to put current events into a different perspective as well. When Russia first moved into Ukraine, Putin said something about reclaiming ancient lands. I'm in no way supporting what he is doing, but objectively; Kiev is 'ancient Russia'. *I will re-iterate. I oppose this illegal war and believe in a free, peaceful and sovereign Ukraine.*

5:51 The Bolghar people are not Bulgarians. They're Bulgars, they are another state that splintered from the dissolution of Great Old Bulgaria. However, the Bulgars that arrived at the Danube and what then became Bulgaria are not the same people. The Bulgars were the ruling minority in a country predominantly settled by Greeks, Slavs, Thracians, etc., and with time due to intermixing the line was blurred at some point and the minorities got absorbed into the vast Slav majority. However, the Volga Bulgars were just that, Bulgars. Not Bulgarians.
there are many things that are simplified, under-discussed or erroneous.
Rooss is more fragmented than it was shown on the map, there were tribes and cities to hell, this is not considering the nomads. Novgorod most likely already existed, but was captured by the Normans, in the records of Byzantium they appear as areas from which raids took place. Kiev was conquered by the Ruriks from relatives. Local princes were elected according to the Norman format. Everyone is simplifying that there was originally a monarchy. Byzantium and the dynasty could have tried to erase pagan history. According to the stone buildings, degradation can be traced after baptism.
Lithuanian Orthodoxy was largely secured by the territories captured from Russia, their later reconquest was further secured by the subsequent uprisings.
It can be assumed that the campaign of Ermak had parallels with the campaign of Cortes, local tribes, already erased in history, were terrorized by the Tatars. They easily obeyed, but Kuchum's troops were constantly stuck on the border and waiting for the Cossacks to withdraw.

That is very interesting! Good and Fast explanation!
Just FYI Ivan the Terrible didnt kill that many people compared to other European leaders of that time. The whole 'Terrible' thing is mistranslation imo and the closer one would be Ivan the Fearsome.
Прозвище грозный дали европейские историки , на самом деле его звали 'Иван -Мудрый'
@Imaginary Unicorn cant believe I am saying this but check what Bartholomew Night is. Or maybe where did the Aztecs go. Or maybe what Teutons did to the very same Lithuanians you were talking about. Russia surely had its share of terrible dictators but Ivan IV was a pretty good guy by 16th century standarts
Yes , russian word Грозный(that how he called in Russia), not meen terrible , it meen more like a stern maybe or hard , but absolutely not terrible. This word start using britain to demonizated Russia like always
Wow Russian history looks so unstable and violent. It's impressive they managed to get so much territory together
Because we are Russians and God is with us(С) Alexander Suvorov
@@delight2229 If God was with Russians it wouldn't have created the USSR, as it was atheist country
There is no achievement. All this territory was conquered by Tatars. However Golden Horde(the Tatar's empire) had a war against tamerlan/timur and as a result Golden Horde was broken into several bleeding out Kaghanates(states). However tamerlan did not touch russians and as a result after several cenruties this allowed russians to occupy Tatar's lands. But russians never built a state and now russia under go the third wave of breaking up so as a result soon you will see russia totally crushed.

Nice video but if you want to do accurate history you need to start changing the name Byzantine to Roman and Byzantine Rite to Orthodox Rite.
Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.
May, Timothy. “The Jochid Ulus or Golden Horde.” The Mongol Empire, Edinburgh University Press, 2018, pp. 280-314,
Orda is not a "camp or palace", Orda literally means Horde.
Ulus Juchi was part of Golden Horde. This name was deleted by moscovian officials when they try to argue their claims on old Rus' in 17-18th centuries. Later they officially steal the name "Russia" from Ukraine (1721). Actually modern Russian Federation has wery few connections to old medieval Rus' politically and culturally. It's typical post Mongol Khanate (state) with strong cultural and ethnic influence of ancient finnish tribes.
And the mongols inserted all their DNA in russia.

Really looking forward to see what author has to say about Southern part of Rus. Also there is so much missing information about Cossacs autonomy, who they were and how they really influenced history of neighboring states.
Как говорят украинцы: казаки - это часть истории Украины, а не Руси. К Руси они не имеют никакого отношения💁
@@ericingefara4179 The word Cossack itself is of non-Slavic origin and most likely has a Khazar origin, not a Turkic one. Cossacks were a separate phenomenon in the south of Russia and adopted many of the practices of nomadic tribes, and in some part they themselves consisted of descendants and people of non-Slavic origin. In general, Ukrainians did not exist at all before.
@@ruldali615 я это знаю) казаки - это ославянившиеся потомки азиатских кочевых племен, это не секрет. Вся их культура - от полукочевого образа жизни и до элементов одежды - осталась с тех времён, когда они были половцами, татарами и печенегами

Country with the name - Muscovy, Tsar Peter renamed "Russia" only in the 18th century, in 1721.
The Moksha tribe named their river Moscow, and the translation of this name, from the language of Moksha, sounds like “dirty water”. Any other languages of the world cannot translate the word Moscow. The word “kremlin” is Tatar and means fortifications on a hill.
In the Middle Ages, all the cartographers of Europe wrote and drew the border of Europe along the borders of Rus (Rus is the territory of present-day Ukraine). Muscovy - the ulus, with its Finnish peoples, has always been a component of the Horde, and Europe rightly attributed it to Asia.
Ivan IV was such a tyrant that he killed a thousand times fewer people than his contemporary King Henri IV of France. What irony))
Yeah
And Bloody Mary (Mary I of England) wasn't called bloody for nothing.
Comparing to his collogues from the Western Europe of the same period he was almost a saint.

Novgorod Republic (Holmgard) never been under tatar-mongols ego control 7:03 So colors wrong it should remain pink
6:04 the Kievan Rus suddenly expands eastwards, starting the Russian conquest of Siberia, while the republic of Novgorod expands into Scandinavia, and founds a territory divided between it and the swedes, the large northern part of the Kievan Rus is ruled by the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal, which founded multiple cities, but even this can’t help the Russian people from the mongol empire.
Sorry to be "that guy", but Vikings were not an ethnicity or group, the term "Vikings" refers to a profession, a raider. Historians refer to them as Norsemen, the Norse, or even just Norwegians, Danes, and Jutes.
I'm sure the creators of this chanel are well aware of this fact, but I wanted to point it out in case anyone here didn't know that.
It's true, in popular culture and modern day vernacular, just about everyone calls them Vikings, so it's totally acceptable and 99% of people wouldn't call you out on it if you referred to them this way.
And even more I could say, Rurik and his band are probably slavs themselves, coming from the northern Germany - from Pomerania (Pommern), which at that time was completely slavic
By the way, I can also add about the whole story of “Viking invitation”. It is impossible to build state where is no base for that. Russian land at that time (IX century) was settled by different tribes which had no state form, but had some kind of land organisation, there were a lot of cities (Gardarika - land of cities) existed, and historians prove that Novgorod existed before normans came
@@eiafiadlayokudl Lots of historians would disagree with you though, like Alexander Nazarenko. Mostly it's professedly anti-Normanists like Boris Rybakov think that way.
Plus, the name Rurik is a decidedly Scandinavian name, not appearing anywhere else in the Slavic world at the time.
But then, that's the great thing about history. We get to debate not only what happened, but why it happened and who these people were.
Удачи вам!
@@patrick8358 "Rurik" is not a Scandinavian name. It was widely spread among the Celts long before the Romans learned about the Germans. Poland is a zone of constant contacts between Celts and Slavs. Many names in Europe have been international since ancient times. I recommend to you the works of Professor Herman Artamonov. He is a very famous modern scientist. He proved the complete inconsistency of the theory of the Scandinavian origin of the ethnos "RUS".
@@АлександрИванов-ч4б3с What we do know is from documents signed by the Rus is that in the early years Scanidinavian namnes dominated, later to be replaced by slavic names, suggesting a Scandinavian elite governing.
