The Slavs were not the last tribes of Europeans that accepted Christianity. Actually this process began in the VIII century in the south, and by the year 1000 all Slavic rulers were baptized. The last to be christened were Lithuanians, which happened gradually in the XIV century, and was fulfilled by the baptizing of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila who became the king of Poland and established the Polish Lithuanian Union. The pesants, however resisted christianization in a long time, as was also the case of Celtic and Germanic tribes.
Christianization of Perm started in middle of XV century, ended around XVI century. Some people on a border of Europe and Asia (hanty, mansi) follow their religion to this day. As for Slavic tribes, vyatichi were probably the last to become Christians.
Indeed, it is accurate; nevertheless, during that period, Lithuania had a predominantly Ruthenian population, leading to the presumption that they were baptized by Lithuanian elites, hence not entirely incorrect.
@@avatarion This is actually cool, I haven't think about it but it makes sense. Sami people are really interesting and would love to see more of their culture in mainstream :)
@MyNatureIsh You are confusing the Lithuanian tribes with the Lithuanian realm, which consisted of annexed territories. Lithuania proper was not inhabited by Christian Ruthenians.
@irenajeinkova151 The worse thing in unification is that people don't assimilate in the name of unity . It was supposed all Slav nation to become Soviets over there in the East making togetherness not Rusofobia . Like in Yugoslavia federation we used to become Yugoslavians ( one single nation ) not Serbian nation as a biggest entity ! Every single unity were called Republics under Federative order , and they had own parliament and the top federal parliament in which there was general stipulation , republics to be free if they want to step out of that federation . Nothing was wrong for the units to become one Nation , Yugoslavian Nation , taking comparative advantage of that unity . It was very dangerous to act as separatist among unity of these Yugo ( South ) Slavians ! It was called etatizam and separatism when you like to favorite your entity ( your Republic ) !

My brother, THIS, is one of the MOST IMPORTANT documentaries for all of us Slavs, or in our language "pre nás Slovanov"! You have no idea. Our history has been actively suppressed, at least here in Slovakia. After all the information collected in this video, I can see why. Our ancestors were hardy, tough and intelligent people, who valued freedom, friendship and family above all. Such cultures are hard to control for any empire or ruling entity. May one day all Slavs unite, stop with the wars among brothers on behalf of the emperors from the West and usher in a new era of Freedom and Prosperity! Sláva Rodu!
I agree completely with you. I remember what German chancellor Otto von Bismarck said once "If you want to get rid of all Slavs try to separate Ukraine from Russia and turn them against each other. The slavs are the only ethnics in Europe who can destroy each other". Considering what happen in Ukraine just now he was right. Many of slavic countries hate Russians and are ready to join the West and go to war against them. The biggest haters seems to be Poles and Ukrainians.
God bless you are a true Slav my brother. I 2 wish that all Slavs would think like this because there is nothing better waiting for us on the other side! “Sunce tuđeg neba neće vas grijati kao ovo”
We do not need to unite as a one country but we can definitely live as brotherly countries and nations that respect each other traditions and customs. Many things would be necessary like shaking off globalists, EU and ”small hats” influence that are hell bent on erasing those values replacing them with ”rainbow debauchery”, atheism and cultural relativism. Their expansionism powered by NATO have resulted in unnecessary and tragic war in Ukraine with hundreds of thousands deaths. It all could have been avoided if Ukraine was let to be neutral and not led to coup d etat in 2014.
@@Tygydyk17 We are all the same people and I think that the ultimate goal should be to finally reunite so that all the Slavic people can experience and contribute to the great country that it would be.
You forgot to mention about the crusades against the Slavs, starting with the Venedian campaign of 1147. Then the pagan Slavs, who lived from the coast of modern Denmark to Prussia and on the Baltic islands, were destroyed or fled or were assimilated by the Germans. No fewer crusaders took part in these campaigns than in the Middle East.
The Crusades in the North are rarely talked about. I do not understand why. As far as I know, wars have been fought for a couple of centuries. What I can say is that when learning about the Crusades, at least in Serbia, all attention is focused on the Middle East. A big shame.
The Northern Crusades, in terms of scale, were even larger than those for Jerusalem when considering the sheer number of warriors involved, a fact that is not widely known. Moreover, the atrocities committed by the Germans during the northern crusades served as just a prelude to the subsequent history of the region.
ehmmm, just saying that dna testing can be faulty and is actually quite inaccurate so I wouldn't take it too seriously before you adapt a whole identity you only perceive from an idealised outside point of view
I am Hungarian, and I also made a DNA test (which is accurate because it showed that one of my third cousin has a DNA match with me), and I have a lot of slavic ancestors. It is known in my family that the largest part of it is from the historical Hungarian Kingdom's northern part (called Felvidék, this territory is nowadays Slovakia), but it was a bit surprising that I have also czech, polish, and a few Eastern-European relations.
@@Noone.05 of course sometimes it's accurate but we have to keep in mind that these ancestry testing organisations are business and they aren't 100% correct in most cases. There was an investigation not long ago when a pair of identical twins tested separately from each other at 3 different ancestry testing organisation and in their results came back completely different from each other. So goes to show.
As a Pole, I want to thank you for this beautiful presentation of us Slavic people. You made me tear up at the end when you mentioned our brotherhood. I grew up in Canada, and I love this country dearly , but as I get older my Slavic roots are calling me back to the land of my ancestors. Maybe one day, I will be able to bounce back and forth between both sides of the Atlantic.
As do my roots call me...Montenegro, Czech and further back bronze age Kazakhstan and Tagar ethnicity. I want to spend time in Eastern Europe and the steppe. Has called to me all my life.

You mean from north macedonia.because if you are sending greetings from Macedonia then you are not Slavic you are Greek. as you understood in the Balkans you came in the sixth century after Christ while the Greek Macedonians and Alexander the Great died in 323 BC that is at least 800 years before the Slavic tribes came to the Balkans so what do you have to do with Macedonia you are Slavic From a country called north macelonia.

I thought it was so badass that we held hospitality in such high regard that we would throw down with anyone who threatened our guest's safe passage. Made me feel pretty proud of my heritage right there. Thank you for this eye opening history lesson.
It seems to have been an Indo-European tradition too. It was similar among Germanic and Greek people to show hospitality. In the Norse saga “Thors visit to Jotunheim” Thor and Loki call for hospitality from a farmer and his family who must feed them as honoured guests. These traditions may go back to before our languages even separated.
To nas je i upropastilo . Pročuo se glas da postoji narod koji je gostoprimljiv , a pored toga i bogat (metal , tkanine , staklo i boje). Tako su u Evropu nagrnuli narodi kojima je u mentalitetu : pljačka , otimanje , razbojništvo . Kad su se dočepali metalnih sekira i mačeva , kola i zaprega , kasnije su se iz Evrope raširili po celom svetu . Otimanje , istrebljavanje , robovlasništvo , iskorišćavanje naroda i njihove imovine ; njihovo je glavno zanimanje do danas .
@@greendalf123 Ha! Nice to run into you here, old friend. I think you're right. I also read some time ago that hospitality was a huge deal in ancient arabian days, like before Islam ancient. I can see how it could help avoid military conflicts between neighbors or strangers too. Thanks for clueing me into the Norse view of it, as I have a particular fondness for the old norse myths, especially where Freya is concerned.
One of the possible reasons for this hospitality is that according to legend, the god Perun would often assume the form of a traveler and walk amongst his people to see how they conducted themselves. And if you refused him hospitality, you would be punished or cursed. So people assumed that a traveler might be their top god in disguise and spared no expense in accommodating them.
@@premiumbackgroundmusic Could be, but it's probably due to real life situations. Remember, helping one another was always a positive for a social species. In Greek myth, there is a story where Zeus goes to a village, expecting hospitality. All the village but the last couple deny him it. In turn, Zeus tells the hospitable couple to flee and not look back, while he floods the village. (at least that's my recollection of the story).

The Slavic slave trade was mostly practiced by other Slavs , Czechs was in 10th century one of the biggest slave trader Wich was stopped by Adalbert of Prague, so it would be weird because Slavs enslaved other Slavs.
@@holextv5595 Of course there were slaves, no point in arguing about that, but it literally makes zero sense to make Slav into Slave since all this similarity between Sclaveni/Sloveni etc.
Right? It’s so tiring that the west only thinks of that when they think of us. There were hundreds of Slavic tribes, who fought and enslaved one another, as did foreign peoples. Many were sold into slavery, but it’s far from our identity.
I don't have any ancestral or cultural connection to the Slavic people but what an amazing culture and history! I can see why so many of them have a great pride in their culture and autonomy
Minor correction for the use of the word 'slava': As you said, it means glory, but to get the meaning 'glory to', the next word needs the dativ case. So 'glory to god' is 'slava bogu'. 'Slava boga', on the other hand, means someting like 'glory of god' (in Russian at least). For 'Glory to Ukraine', it should be 'slava Ukraini' in Ukrainian (in Russian it would be 'slava Ukrainye'). 'Slava Ukraina' just means 'Glory Ukraine', which doesn't really mean anything. Good video!
Slava in Serbian Lenguage and the region is a celebration of the Holy Saint the protector of the house. Every family has they own Saint that protects they home. Slava or slaviti also means to celebrate.
Slava is also very close to "slovo" which in Serbo-Croatian means letter (a, b, c, d...), while in most other Slavic languages it means word. The Serbo-Croatian word for word is "riječ" - "reči" is to say . "Sveto slovo" is also kind of a fixed phrase literally translated as "Holy Letter/Word".
My brother has visited Poland twice, he said it's his favorite country that he's visited. He's traveled extensively in Europe and some in Asia. He sent me pictures from Wroclaw, where they have gnome statues everywhere. It looks pretty awesome.
@@walterjurewicz1567 In 1241, the city, which had several thousand inhabitants, was burned down and exterminated by the Mongol invasion. Afterwards, the reconstruction was left in the hands of colonists from the German Empire who made the city independent with their own, so-called German, city rights (1262). The Times (London) reported on 27th October 1945: "The Polish authorities in Breslau today demolished one of the few remaining German monuments in the city, that of Kaiser Wilhelm I, and announced that the remaining 200,000 Germans still in Breslau would be expelled to Allied-controlled Germany. The new Polish city president, Stanislac Gosniej, declared in a speech before the monument, that 4,000 Germans were being expelled every week and within six months Wroclaw (Breslau) will be the second city of Poland [...] its population replaced by Polish settlers. It remains under Polish occupation.
Problem is that we slavs are "cursed" as we kill each other frequently and are our worst enemies between ourselves. Less so our Western brethren Czech, Slovaks, Poles, but our eastern bretherns, and especially we southern (I'm Croatian) seemingly can't wait to get at each others throats.
"serbian" could still be used as belonging to serbs, for example the serbian language or serbian culture. serbs is a word for the ethnic group or the people, its original being "srbi".
@@stefanovicigorOf course they renamed Serbs in the middle of Serbia, bombed Serb national library both in ww1 and in ww2. Germany wants Serb history erased.
@@adamroodog1718On the scale of the Anglosphere, any resident of Serbia is a Serb. In everyday life it would be strange to operate with concepts of a planetary scale. In fact, a resident of Serbia can be either a Serb, a Bulgarian, a Macedonian, a Croat, or a Muslim Kosovar or Albanian. These peoples are not the same and do not want to be like each other. It seems to me that if a person avoids problems, he does not show ignorance in such sensitive issues. This always leads to bloody conflicts.

Etruscans have an ancient connection with Slavic People. The Etruscan language was considered undecipherable by Germans. However, an Italian scholar who travelled in Poland and learned Polish, discovered that he could translate the mystery. Sebastiano Ciampi, 1830: "Viaggio in Polonia"
Swamps (until recently) mostly occured in Polesie, which is treated as the plausible cradle of the Slavic People. The other Slavic countries were not swampy, but covered with forests (Poland) or steppes (southern Ukraine).
@@frostflower5555 We ukrainians have this word 'шум' (shum) too. It means 'noise' now. But in old days one of its meaning was a forest. For forest we have a dozen of words like ліс, діброва, бір, пуща, гай etc.

Thank you very much, I thoroughly enjoyed that. It is very true that Slavs care for travellers and wayfarers. I have personally experienced that hospitality and warmth in Republika Srpska (Serbian Republic) of Bosnia even though I was an enemy soldier that served with the Nato Forces (SFOR). And despite the bad press and reputation, I hope that one day the world sees the truth about the Serbs and Serbia. "Ziveli Srbi i Srbija!" With love and respect from a Pacific Islander from Fiji. xxx
Being Polish, I have no doubts that "slavs" was based on the word "slowo" which means "word" vs the name for the Germans or "Niemcy" those who can't talk. Additionally Swiatowid (main god of the Slavs) means one who sees (widzi) the world (swiat). That is why he is portrayed looking in four directions.
Slaveny Vs Slovany. One would be Glory the other Words. Most commonly or the Word part that makes any historic sense. This is the same thing as with Mir which in most Slavic languages simply means peace... In eastern ones, especially Russian, it also means Land... But no one knows why. Plus Russians are... How to put it. Russian is the least mutually understandable Slavic language by the rest. There are even more similar parties between Ukrainian and Polish than there are between Ukrainian and Russian. So... Russian is not exactly the best language to pick for deep diving into Slavism and Slavic similarities. (Hence why you also use Germania for Germany rather than Nemci like the rest).
Additionally. In the old times between the first centuries BC and 500 As, Germanic people's and Slavic peoples lived and inhabited many similar areas with nuclear borders. To highlight that one Spoke and one didn't speak the same tongue would make far more sense. Although there is a chance the word Slovo and Slava are of common origin, where the fact that you speak makes you "glorious" and not some military battles.
yes that makes much more sense, since we are called in serbian "sloveni" and the word is called "slovo". who knows whats the truth really, since recorded history about the slavs is not that far spread when it comes to our origin. we do say "nemci" for germans which for us does derive from the word "nem", meaning "mute" or in this case people who are mute.
@@tomasvrabec1845 русский такой же славянский язык как и другие. Может украинский и похож больше на польский, но русский похож больше, например, на белорусский.

You bet, I liked, shared, and subscribed. This is the most informative video I ever have seen on Eastern European history/Slavs. I would like to see a timeline of history, and I suspect it would be complicated/very detailed. Thanks for uploading! I look forward to your other history presentations. As to Slovenia and Bulgaria, when I was visiting there, I literally almost tossed my US passport, preferring to stay over there. I still think about it with longing.

Cool video. It's just a pitty that you didn't mention Samo's Empire, which was the first Slavic tribal union in the 7th century which existed in the territory of today's Czechia and Slovakia, one of the most important events that formed the future foundations of the Czech nation.
@@funtecstudiovideos4102 well he had trade in Slavic lands very often for several years , he obviously known about "political situation" in those lands and Avars, as he knew how to speak Slavic language could mean he was (probably) half Slav, so he just wanted revolt or take advantage to became leader in those land's, (he could even probably be set by Frankish ruler) but just secure it for himself and betrayed him, there's so many options, but no "mistake in translation" as the sources was written in Latin.
Yes, in early medieval times, a big chunk of modern Germany wasn't German. Frankish trader Samo, who brought together the Slavs, beat the Franks many times, stopping them from going further east.
10:27 In Czech, the word for Germany is Německo and Němec/Němci is the singular/plural of the word used for a German as in a person from Germany.

It can easily be imagined that Cucuten > Trypillian people became assimilated by the Yamna neighbours and that they spread as a minority lineage alongside haplogroups R1a and R1b as they advanced toward the Baltic with the Corded Ware expansion. Alternatively, I2-L621 lineages could have lived in relative isolation from the mainstream Proto-Indo-European society somewhere around Ukraine, Poland or Belarus, then as the centuries and millennia passed, would have blended with the predominantly R1a populations around them. The resulting amalgam would have become the ancestors of the Proto-Slavs.
All this is very interesting and wonderful about the haplogroups of the Trypillian-Cucuteni population. Especially when you consider that 99% of the few known burials are cremations, and DNA cannot be extracted from ashes and coals. What is absolutely certain is that they were not Indo-Europeans and cultural continuity with the subsequent population is not archaeologically confirmed.

Some years ago I was in Serbia with my family to visit the famous Guča Brass Festival. My hosts had organized two girls to help us to understand them translating their speech into English. But, oh wonder, I could understand everything and didn't need their help. I have to say that I am fluent in Russian and a bit in Czech. But I didn't expect the languages being so close. I understood them but they barely understood me. For them Russian sounded to strange. Once I was in Bulgaria in Plovdiv to see friends. In the evening we were sitting together and in the TV they showed a Swedish film with Bulgarian subtitles. My hosts asked me: Do you understand what they say? I had to deny. I understood nothing. The were wondering, "How can it be? It is your language(I am German)!" We were speaking Russian all the time. They said that they easily understand everything. Slavic languages are much closer to each other than Germanic.

30:11 Two Slavic tribes, the Melingoi & Ezeritai settled in the Laconia region of the Peloponnesian peninsula. We have historical records of them still speaking a Slavic language as late as the 15th century.
An Update : " For some of the rulers of Bulgaria today, these words probably do not mean anything special. I assume that for them, the map of Europe from the end of the 9th century should include the traditional "great" powers France, Germany, England, Russia, etc. In practice, when the Slavic (understand - the Old Bulgarian!) script was created, the political picture has nothing to do with it. Then, for example, there is still only legendary information about Kievan Rus, and Moscow will become a city only after 500 years. France is missing from the map of the Old Continent, which was formed as an insignificant kingdom in the vicinity of Paris until the Capetians at the end of the 10th century. There are a dozen small kingdoms on the territory of England, constantly harassed by Viking invasions. Germany in its present form did not appear until the 19th century, but as a date of creation many suggest February 2, 962, when the East Frankish king Otto I was elected emperor in Rome and this was the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire of the German people. This early medieval state is only one of the successors of the vast Frankish Empire, founded by Charlemagne in 800. It was this empire spanning Western Europe that bordered Bulgaria in the second half of the 9th century right in the middle of today's capital of Hungary, Budapest. The Bulgarian Empire began from there, stretching between the Dnieper and the middle course of the Danube, as well as from the Carpathians almost to the foot of Constantinople. And it was precisely there that the border with the third largest state of early medieval Europe - the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium - passed. This is what Mrs. Mitrofanova (now the Russian ambassador to Bulgaria) brilliantly understood when she spoke about the era of the First Bulgarian Kingdom, in which Cyril and Methodius lived (Bulgarians, creators of the Cyrillic alphabet, which soon spread to the lands of Russia) and their students. Someone who ran in history classes will say - but it is a "kingdom", not an "empire". In 1930, the book of one of the greatest English historians, Sir Stephen Runciman, was published in London under the title "History of the First Bulgarian Empire". He does not make the common mistake in foreign language translations where the title "king" is rendered as "king." Historians know perfectly well that the correct translation of this title is imperator, empereur, Kaiser. This concept is a Slavicized form of the Latin word caesar (lat. "Caesar", "Caesar", Greek "Caesar"), which denotes the dignity and autocracy of the Roman emperors. According to the Arabic author of the 10th century, Ibn Khordadbeh, with the Greek transcription "Caesar" in Byzantium, the people called the emperors. In the Slavic literary tradition, Roman and Byzantine emperors were referred to as "Caesars" or "Kings". That is why the title "tsar" created by the Bulgarians directly means "emperor" and it defined the Bulgarian rulers until the end of the 14th century. But in the 10th century, the mighty Tsar Simeon directly accepted the title "vasilevs" - the Greek term for the all-powerful autocrator of the Roman Empire. covered the entire then civilized world. And when, in the 16th century under Ivan the Terrible, the Russian rulers finally reached the title of king, it would be equivalent to the imperial title for all of Europe.

Rząd- the parlament Zarząd Rada- council Urząd- i don't remember but its very important I don't know if im making this up but król (king, read like k+'rule') has this royal r thing in it.
When he said Rex and Raj, I instantly thought of Rod. Maybe it lost it's meaning as king and became more of a "forefather", "ancestor" or "leader" of the tribe, thus its meaning today - whole lineage of our ancestors.
Wroclaw is indeed quite the nice town. This due to the poles getting it back after WW2 and setting about restoring it magnificently. If the Germans had retained Wrocław this would not have happened as they preferred to tear down damaged buildings and put up new ugly modern ones instead
In Germany there are LUZICIAN SERBS . In Germany there is also CAPE ARCONA with old Slavic Temples. In fact in Bavaria there are the number of old Slavic settlements. Much of Germany belongs to Slavs and Slavic tribes.
You see, although we all know and have read from multiple sources that these same Wendi, Wenedi, are exactly named as Sorabi, Servoi, or however the author was by nationality, the Author is constantly ignoring the word Serb and the influence of Serbian in all the ancient Slavic tribes. If they only checked the Serbian Ornamentics and Heraldics all around the Eastern German cities, Dresden as the main one, all would become better aware who founded Germany and why did Hitler first order to bomb the old National Library on 06.04.1941 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and flatten it with the soil.
Exacty proofs that there was never a boarder between Slavic and Germanic tribes - just far Eastern and mid barbarians being different after some time and mixing regulary Check out Langobards, Goths etc. Not a proof that something was Slavic or Germanic ;)
If all the slavic people would come together.....Unfortunately this will never happen.Because if we all come together first we drink ourselves to death, then we quarrel and fight, then we drink some more and forget everything and then finally we just go back where we came from, each to his own corner without any constructive conclusion. Happens all the time!
18:25 That is how "Albanians" became part of Balkans in 1040s when they came as mercienries, lost war, Bysantine didn’t want them, so Serbs gave the Troyan Horse hospitality, after beeing imprisoned for a while.
Note: When I say "Westward into Russia and Eastward into Poland"it should be understood as "Western Russia and Eastern Poland" - just one of those slip ups.

@@natasacuk3851 what did you expect? Slavs have long and rich history of slaughtering each other and pretending nothing happened.
The Slavs were not the last tribes of Europeans that accepted Christianity. Actually this process began in the VIII century in the south, and by the year 1000 all Slavic rulers were baptized. The last to be christened were Lithuanians, which happened gradually in the XIV century, and was fulfilled by the baptizing of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila who became the king of Poland and established the Polish Lithuanian Union. The pesants, however resisted christianization in a long time, as was also the case of Celtic and Germanic tribes.
Christianization of Perm started in middle of XV century, ended around XVI century. Some people on a border of Europe and Asia (hanty, mansi) follow their religion to this day. As for Slavic tribes, vyatichi were probably the last to become Christians.
Indeed, it is accurate; nevertheless, during that period, Lithuania had a predominantly Ruthenian population, leading to the presumption that they were baptized by Lithuanian elites, hence not entirely incorrect.
Even later were the Samis. Christianization of Lappland happened between the 1600's and 1900's.
@@avatarion This is actually cool, I haven't think about it but it makes sense. Sami people are really interesting and would love to see more of their culture in mainstream :)

The worse thing in unification is that people don't assimilate in the name of unity .
It was supposed all Slav nation to become Soviets over there in the East making togetherness not Rusofobia .
Like in Yugoslavia federation we used to become Yugoslavians ( one single nation ) not Serbian nation as a biggest entity !
Every single unity were called Republics under Federative order , and they had own parliament and the top federal parliament in which there was general stipulation , republics to be free if they want to step out of that federation .
Nothing was wrong for the units to become one Nation , Yugoslavian Nation , taking comparative advantage of that unity .
It was very dangerous to act as separatist among unity of these
Yugo ( South ) Slavians !
It was called etatizam and separatism when you like to favorite your entity ( your Republic ) !

My brother, THIS, is one of the MOST IMPORTANT documentaries for all of us Slavs, or in our language "pre nás Slovanov"! You have no idea. Our history has been actively suppressed, at least here in Slovakia. After all the information collected in this video, I can see why. Our ancestors were hardy, tough and intelligent people, who valued freedom, friendship and family above all. Such cultures are hard to control for any empire or ruling entity. May one day all Slavs unite, stop with the wars among brothers on behalf of the emperors from the West and usher in a new era of Freedom and Prosperity! Sláva Rodu!
I agree completely with you. I remember what German chancellor Otto von Bismarck said once "If you want to get rid of all Slavs try to separate Ukraine from Russia and turn them against each other. The slavs are the only ethnics in Europe who can destroy each other". Considering what happen in Ukraine just now he was right. Many of slavic countries hate Russians and are ready to join the West and go to war against them. The biggest haters seems to be Poles and Ukrainians.
God bless you are a true Slav my brother. I 2 wish that all Slavs would think like this because there is nothing better waiting for us on the other side! “Sunce tuđeg neba neće vas grijati kao ovo”
I am Slovak too and I believe that all of the slavic countries and people should come together to create a country called Slavia. Slava Rodu💪
We do not need to unite as a one country but we can definitely live as brotherly countries and nations that respect each other traditions and customs. Many things would be necessary like shaking off globalists, EU and ”small hats” influence that are hell bent on erasing those values replacing them with ”rainbow debauchery”, atheism and cultural relativism. Their expansionism powered by NATO have resulted in unnecessary and tragic war in Ukraine with hundreds of thousands deaths. It all could have been avoided if Ukraine was let to be neutral and not led to coup d etat in 2014.
@@Tygydyk17 We are all the same people and I think that the ultimate goal should be to finally reunite so that all the Slavic people can experience and contribute to the great country that it would be.
You forgot to mention about the crusades against the Slavs, starting with the Venedian campaign of 1147. Then the pagan Slavs, who lived from the coast of modern Denmark to Prussia and on the Baltic islands, were destroyed or fled or were assimilated by the Germans. No fewer crusaders took part in these campaigns than in the Middle East.
He did not mentioned any history after the teth century, so why should he specifically talk about the crusades?
The Crusades in the North are rarely talked about. I do not understand why. As far as I know, wars have been fought for a couple of centuries. What I can say is that when learning about the Crusades, at least in Serbia, all attention is focused on the Middle East. A big shame.
After being Christianized, They, as it often happens with neophytes, had been almost immeduately involved into Crusades against Balts and Estonians.
The Northern Crusades, in terms of scale, were even larger than those for Jerusalem when considering the sheer number of warriors involved, a fact that is not widely known. Moreover, the atrocities committed by the Germans during the northern crusades served as just a prelude to the subsequent history of the region.
All Slavs were pagan before Christianity.
We respected guests so much because we believe they are ancestors spirits coming to test as, we still have the same hospitality in our villages.

@@Noone.05 of course sometimes it's accurate but we have to keep in mind that these ancestry testing organisations are business and they aren't 100% correct in most cases.

I'm not saying that our ancestors are ancient macedonians, but they are not greek ancestors also.

I thought it was so badass that we held hospitality in such high regard that we would throw down with anyone who threatened our guest's safe passage. Made me feel pretty proud of my heritage right there. Thank you for this eye opening history lesson.
It seems to have been an Indo-European tradition too. It was similar among Germanic and Greek people to show hospitality.
In the Norse saga “Thors visit to Jotunheim” Thor and Loki call for hospitality from a farmer and his family who must feed them as honoured guests.
These traditions may go back to before our languages even separated.
To nas je i upropastilo . Pročuo se glas da postoji narod koji je gostoprimljiv , a pored toga i bogat (metal , tkanine , staklo i boje). Tako su u Evropu nagrnuli narodi kojima je u mentalitetu : pljačka , otimanje , razbojništvo .
Kad su se dočepali metalnih sekira i mačeva , kola i zaprega , kasnije su se iz Evrope raširili po celom svetu .
Otimanje , istrebljavanje , robovlasništvo , iskorišćavanje naroda i njihove imovine ; njihovo je glavno zanimanje do danas .
@@greendalf123 Ha! Nice to run into you here, old friend. I think you're right. I also read some time ago that hospitality was a huge deal in ancient arabian days, like before Islam ancient. I can see how it could help avoid military conflicts between neighbors or strangers too. Thanks for clueing me into the Norse view of it, as I have a particular fondness for the old norse myths, especially where Freya is concerned.
One of the possible reasons for this hospitality is that according to legend, the god Perun would often assume the form of a traveler and walk amongst his people to see how they conducted themselves. And if you refused him hospitality, you would be punished or cursed. So people assumed that a traveler might be their top god in disguise and spared no expense in accommodating them.
@@premiumbackgroundmusic Could be, but it's probably due to real life situations. Remember, helping one another was always a positive for a social species.
In Greek myth, there is a story where Zeus goes to a village, expecting hospitality. All the village but the last couple deny him it. In turn, Zeus tells the hospitable couple to flee and not look back, while he floods the village. (at least that's my recollection of the story).

Minor correction for the use of the word 'slava': As you said, it means glory, but to get the meaning 'glory to', the next word needs the dativ case.
So 'glory to god' is 'slava bogu'. 'Slava boga', on the other hand, means someting like 'glory of god' (in Russian at least).
For 'Glory to Ukraine', it should be 'slava Ukraini' in Ukrainian (in Russian it would be 'slava Ukrainye').
'Slava Ukraina' just means 'Glory Ukraine', which doesn't really mean anything.
Good video!
Slava in Serbian Lenguage and the region is a celebration of the Holy Saint the protector of the house. Every family has they own Saint that protects they home. Slava or slaviti also means to celebrate.
Slava is also very close to "slovo" which in Serbo-Croatian means letter (a, b, c, d...), while in most other Slavic languages it means word.
The Serbo-Croatian word for word is "riječ" - "reči" is to say .
"Sveto slovo" is also kind of a fixed phrase literally translated as "Holy Letter/Word".

Thank you very much, I thoroughly enjoyed that. It is very true that Slavs care for travellers and wayfarers. I have personally experienced that hospitality and warmth in Republika Srpska (Serbian Republic) of Bosnia even though I was an enemy soldier that served with the Nato Forces (SFOR). And despite the bad press and reputation, I hope that one day the world sees the truth about the Serbs and Serbia. "Ziveli Srbi i Srbija!" With love and respect from a Pacific Islander from Fiji. xxx

Thank you, sir. Love how you pronounced sobaka😄
It’s a Persian loan word though, Slavic words is p’yos (пес).
Being Polish, I have no doubts that "slavs" was based on the word "slowo" which means "word" vs the name for the Germans or "Niemcy" those who can't talk. Additionally Swiatowid (main god of the Slavs) means one who sees (widzi) the world (swiat). That is why he is portrayed looking in four directions.
I am Russian, for me the word "slavs" always associated with "slava" - glory. But I may be mistaken.
Slaveny Vs Slovany.
One would be Glory the other Words.
Most commonly or the Word part that makes any historic sense.
This is the same thing as with Mir which in most Slavic languages simply means peace... In eastern ones, especially Russian, it also means Land... But no one knows why.
Plus Russians are... How to put it. Russian is the least mutually understandable Slavic language by the rest. There are even more similar parties between Ukrainian and Polish than there are between Ukrainian and Russian.
So... Russian is not exactly the best language to pick for deep diving into Slavism and Slavic similarities. (Hence why you also use Germania for Germany rather than Nemci like the rest).
Additionally.
In the old times between the first centuries BC and 500 As, Germanic people's and Slavic peoples lived and inhabited many similar areas with nuclear borders.
To highlight that one Spoke and one didn't speak the same tongue would make far more sense.
Although there is a chance the word Slovo and Slava are of common origin, where the fact that you speak makes you "glorious" and not some military battles.
yes that makes much more sense, since we are called in serbian "sloveni" and the word is called "slovo". who knows whats the truth really, since recorded history about the slavs is not that far spread when it comes to our origin. we do say "nemci" for germans which for us does derive from the word "nem", meaning "mute" or in this case people who are mute.
@@tomasvrabec1845 русский такой же славянский язык как и другие. Может украинский и похож больше на польский, но русский похож больше, например, на белорусский. Да и на украинский с польским тоже похож.
Additionally. Хоть мы и называем Германию Германией, но слово "немцы" у нас тоже есть. Вообще странно по одному слову судить о степени родства языков.
You bet, I liked, shared, and subscribed. This is the most informative video I ever have seen on Eastern European history/Slavs. I would like to see a timeline of history, and I suspect it would be complicated/very detailed. Thanks for uploading! I look forward to your other history presentations. As to Slovenia and Bulgaria, when I was visiting there, I literally almost tossed my US passport, preferring to stay over there. I still think about it with longing.

Cool video. It's just a pitty that you didn't mention Samo's Empire, which was the first Slavic tribal union in the 7th century which existed in the territory of today's Czechia and Slovakia, one of the most important events that formed the future foundations of the Czech nation.

@@holextv5595 Merchant leading armies and creating states... Fascinating. Must be some mistake in translation or guy was freaking genius
@@funtecstudiovideos4102 well he had trade in Slavic lands very often for several years , he obviously known about "political situation" in those lands and Avars, as he knew how to speak Slavic language could mean he was (probably) half Slav, so he just wanted revolt or take advantage to became leader in those land's, (he could even probably be set by Frankish ruler) but just secure it for himself and betrayed him, there's so many options, but no "mistake in translation" as the sources was written in Latin.
Yes, in early medieval times, a big chunk of modern Germany wasn't German. Frankish trader Samo, who brought together the Slavs, beat the Franks many times, stopping them from going further east.
Many thanks for making this amazing brief history!
10:27 In Czech, the word for Germany is Německo and Němec/Němci is the singular/plural of the word used for a German as in a person from Germany. Up until this day I have never thought about the similarity between that word and the word němý, which describes someone who is mute.
Otherwise amazing video! Greetings from Czech Republic to all slavic brothers!
When I was a child my grandma used to say me "Ajde ne pravi se Njemac - Don't pretend to be Njemac- Nijem-and it was a point that word Njemac and Njemačka come from Nem/Nijem/njem or deaf and our tribes couldn't understand what they are saying so they called me Njemačka/Njemci
I am from Russia and in Russian we use the similar word «nemtsy» (немцы) for Germany citizens too. Female form is «nemka» (немка) and male is «nemets» (немец)

Being a greek with fair skin and green eyes and my DNA clearly stating easten european at 70% i celibrate my Slavic routes more than my hellenic.
yet Hellenistic society was the first to "civilize " .
Scientists say that the more diluted a substance is the more it's molecules try to imprint their own characteristics on the surrounding atoms. With this in mind it is not uncommon for people to gravitate or incline to take interest or even preference to the culture with the smallest percentage of their D.N.A. I saw one guy on TH-cam about D.N.A testimonies say he was surprised at his 1% Italian D.N.A as he had always loved Italian food and culture. For me this was no surprise and is why I'm watching this video with 1.8% Slavic D.N.A.
Before I had my D.N.A done I use to do Cossack dancing and my favorite drink was Vodka. Most of friends in my early years were Polish. 🤔

It can easily be imagined that Cucuten > Trypillian people became assimilated by the Yamna neighbours and that they spread as a minority lineage alongside haplogroups R1a and R1b as they advanced toward the Baltic with the Corded Ware expansion. Alternatively, I2-L621 lineages could have lived in relative isolation from the mainstream Proto-Indo-European society somewhere around Ukraine, Poland or Belarus, then as the centuries and millennia passed, would have blended with the predominantly R1a populations around them. The resulting amalgam would have become the ancestors of the Proto-Slavs.
Slavs, then as Sclavenoi were first mentioned in the 8. century.
All this is very interesting and wonderful about the haplogroups of the Trypillian-Cucuteni population. Especially when you consider that 99% of the few known burials are cremations, and DNA cannot be extracted from ashes and coals. What is absolutely certain is that they were not Indo-Europeans and cultural continuity with the subsequent population is not archaeologically confirmed.
@@dittmannrudolfrohr2149 The Slavic tribes of Poland are named after one tribe. However, they are Ethnic Lechs. In many parts of the world they are still called Lechians, [or equivalent].

All three were Vandal people.
Chrobry (is derived from the Germanic word “Hrouber” which means robber) made rich booty and kidnapped several thousand people in order to settle them at the border castles. As he retreated, he plundered and burned numerous towns and villages. Before his death in 1025, he was crowned king of his country with the help of the pope for the stolen pagan land, which he Christianized with fire and sword with the brutality of the Middle Ages. Until his grave slab in Posen Cathedral was destroyed in 1422, the inscription could be read: “Regnum Sclavorum, Gothorum sive Polonorum” = Kingship of the Sclavi (pagans), Goths or Polans.

In Polish a dog is "pies" while a female dog is "suka" Hence "son of a bitch" is "sukisyn" in Polish.
Eastern Slavic (Russian in particular) has a bunch of non slavic words that exist in parallel with slavic words. Sobaka is aparently Iranian, but pes also exists in Russian. Same thing with loshad (horse) instead of kon'. Loshad (I think) is Mongol or Turkish in origin.
Some years ago I was in Serbia with my family to visit the famous Guča Brass Festival. My hosts had organized two girls to help us to understand them translating their speech into English. But, oh wonder, I could understand everything and didn't need their help. I have to say that I am fluent in Russian and a bit in Czech. But I didn't expect the languages being so close. I understood them but they barely understood me. For them Russian sounded to strange.
Once I was in Bulgaria in Plovdiv to see friends. In the evening we were sitting together and in the TV they showed a Swedish film with Bulgarian subtitles. My hosts asked me: Do you understand what they say? I had to deny. I understood nothing. The were wondering, "How can it be? It is your language(I am German)!" We were speaking Russian all the time. They said that they easily understand everything. Slavic languages are much closer to each other than Germanic.

Ah, so good! Thank you for making this presentation❤❤❤.
great video although I realized one mistake - Cyril and Methodius came to Great Moravia in 9th century not 10th (863 AD)
And the alphabet was glagolica
An Update : " For some of the rulers of Bulgaria today, these words probably do not mean anything special. I assume that for them, the map of Europe from the end of the 9th century should include the traditional "great" powers France, Germany, England, Russia, etc. In practice, when the Slavic (understand - the Old Bulgarian!) script was created, the political picture has nothing to do with it.
Then, for example, there is still only legendary information about Kievan Rus, and Moscow will become a city only after 500 years. France is missing from the map of the Old Continent, which was formed as an insignificant kingdom in the vicinity of Paris until the Capetians at the end of the 10th century. There are a dozen small kingdoms on the territory of England, constantly harassed by Viking invasions. Germany in its present form did not appear until the 19th century, but as a date of creation many suggest February 2, 962, when the East Frankish king Otto I was elected emperor in Rome and this was the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire of the German people.
This early medieval state is only one of the successors of the vast Frankish Empire, founded by Charlemagne in 800. It was this empire spanning Western Europe that bordered Bulgaria in the second half of the 9th century right in the middle of today's capital of Hungary, Budapest. The Bulgarian Empire began from there, stretching between the Dnieper and the middle course of the Danube, as well as from the Carpathians almost to the foot of Constantinople. And it was precisely there that the border with the third largest state of early medieval Europe - the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium - passed.
This is what Mrs. Mitrofanova (now the Russian ambassador to Bulgaria) brilliantly understood when she spoke about the era of the First Bulgarian Kingdom, in which Cyril and Methodius lived (Bulgarians, creators of the Cyrillic alphabet, which soon spread to the lands of Russia) and their students. Someone who ran in history classes will say - but it is a "kingdom", not an "empire". In 1930, the book of one of the greatest English historians, Sir Stephen Runciman, was published in London under the title "History of the First Bulgarian Empire". He does not make the common mistake in foreign language translations where the title "king" is rendered as "king." Historians know perfectly well that the correct translation of this title is imperator, empereur, Kaiser. This concept is a Slavicized form of the Latin word caesar (lat. "Caesar", "Caesar", Greek "Caesar"), which denotes the dignity and autocracy of the Roman emperors. According to the Arabic author of the 10th century, Ibn Khordadbeh, with the Greek transcription "Caesar" in Byzantium, the people called the emperors.
In the Slavic literary tradition, Roman and Byzantine emperors were referred to as "Caesars" or "Kings". That is why the title "tsar" created by the Bulgarians directly means "emperor" and it defined the Bulgarian rulers until the end of the 14th century. But in the 10th century, the mighty Tsar Simeon directly accepted the title "vasilevs" - the Greek term for the all-powerful autocrator of the Roman Empire. covered the entire then civilized world. And when, in the 16th century under Ivan the Terrible, the Russian rulers finally reached the title of king, it would be equivalent to the imperial title for all of Europe.
One of the most concise and beautiful videos of my people I've even watched. Thank you. I'm continuing the Slavic tradition of migration by living in the US.

Unfortunately, I fear that the plans of the Anglo-Saxon globalists are completely different.
The root "re" is not lost in the Slavic languages. It exists in West Slavic languages as rządca (the power welding).
Yes, and many many more that start with rz and mean power. What was a soft r' in proto slavic, became rz in Polish.
Rząd- the parlament
Zarząd
Rada- council
Urząd- i don't remember but its very important
I don't know if im making this up but król (king, read like k+'rule') has this royal r thing in it.
Re is RA
voldyka for king ?
When he said Rex and Raj, I instantly thought of Rod. Maybe it lost it's meaning as king and became more of a "forefather", "ancestor" or "leader" of the tribe, thus its meaning today - whole lineage of our ancestors.
@@askarufus7939It seems like Rada came from Germanic rat

In Germany there are LUZICIAN SERBS . In Germany there is also CAPE ARCONA with old Slavic Temples. In fact in Bavaria there are the number of old Slavic settlements. Much of Germany belongs to Slavs and Slavic tribes.

You see, although we all know and have read from multiple sources that these same Wendi, Wenedi, are exactly named as Sorabi, Servoi, or however the author was by nationality, the Author is constantly ignoring the word Serb and the influence of Serbian in all the ancient Slavic tribes. If they only checked the Serbian Ornamentics and Heraldics all around the Eastern German cities, Dresden as the main one, all would become better aware who founded Germany and why did Hitler first order to bomb the old National Library on 06.04.1941 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and flatten it with the soil.
May you expand on that or provide some usefull links? Im genuinely curious ,thank you @mip4839
Exacty proofs that there was never a boarder between Slavic and Germanic tribes - just far Eastern and mid barbarians being different after some time and mixing regulary
