@@kokilius Russia didn't crush the Golden horde or the Great Horde. The mongols captured russia and made it their vassal. Getting independence isn't the same as crushing an empire. Ivan the "terrible" organised one of the earliest secret polices in the world and by the end of his reign he had descended into complete madness. He ruthlessly and needlessly murderd and tortured his subjects or anyone who he thought was a traitor. Some said he was the "anti-christ" himself. Also, "serfdom" which was basically another word for slavery existed for a long time in Russian empire. The soviet union carried great atrocities across its "empire" killing innocent people and working them to death in the gulags. They wiped out entire sections of ethnic minorities and forced their language onto others. Muslims in Central Asia , who lived in the former USSR(СССР), were forced to eat pork and renounce their religion. Even today Russia keeps on meddling in other country's affairs like keeping an authoritarian dictator (Bashar Al-Assad) in power in Syria. So, no Russia has bot been on the right side of history always.

@@kokilius Russia didn't crush Napolean Bonaparte. They just waited until the onset of winter and then attacked a weakened army who had diminished resources and supplies.

Watch The Great. )

We have something similar... 2 series "Rurikovich" and "Romanov" on youtube used to be on the Star media channel. these two are almost completely documented. We sometimes watched them in history lessons. one episode lasts about an hour and tells about a specific ruler and events. I think they added subtitles for so many years, if not, then there should be a normal auto-translation 🤔

Okay, I just checked, there really are subtitles in many languages, including English

That would be even better than GoT. Given that it doesn't skimp on any of the major or important details accurately.

no, in history there are no mentions of other Ruses, only Kievan

@@horoshkoaleksandr273 and there is no mention of Kievan also. It is tome period, not the name of the state or group of states.

so what? there was no official Byzantium Empire or the Mongol Empire, how should we call them in 21st century?

@@impaugjuldivmax in this case, the name "Rus" is enough. This name appeared in international documents. Not "Kievan Rus". And for Russians this clarification is important, because Russians live on the territory of cities that were the homeland of the princes who created Rus'. While Ukrainians cling to the name “Kievan Rus” in order to designate themselves as the origin of Rus. Ukrainians revere the princes of that period (Rurik, Yaroslav the Wise, Princess Olga, Prophetic Oleg), completely ignoring their origins from ancient Russian cities: Novgorod, Ladoga, Rostov, Pskov. And these are historical facts

@@Samimi_Sabimi What you say is a pure political aspect - the only thing what about the russians care claiming 1000 years of their state. The ukrainians are doing the same, actually. But for historians it is another picture. By saying Kievan Rus, modern historians mean the exact period of time when the stronghold of power was in Kiev. By this reason, historians call Bizantium Empire as not the Roman Empire just to define a new stronghold of power.

The most interesting look at global history is from the Russian point of view - this huge country has always been the most active participant in the life of mankind over the past millennium, sometimes greatly influencing geopolitics and consequences for the whole world. What is represented here is only a small part, very very small. And this is even before the USSR, which lived for a short time, but no less brightly.

It should be especially taken into account that this video also reflects the Western view of Russian history. This manifests itself in a lot of moments. In how, for example, Russia "conquers" cities from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, whereas Smolensk, Kiev and others have always historically been Russian cities. Tsar Ivan 4 in the West is called Ivan the Terrible, but in fact, in Russian he is Ivan Fearsome. And Kipling also wrote about the confrontation between the Anglo-Saxons and Russians for 500 years and called it a Big Game. And he wrote that "only when everyone dies will the Big Game end." And the British were behind almost all the wars in Europe against Russia.

A novel 'Kim' by Kipling is about those events

HISTORY OF RUSSIA FAKE.

Agreed. Heres another example from 1941: I am Russian, place near where I live near village Krukovo (modern day city Zelenograd) was completely destroyed in 1941 by our very own troops. Germans were near Moscow in Nov/Dec of 1941 and frontlines and battles fought in that area. Commanders of soviet troops gave the order - leave nothing for the germans and russian soldiers blew up all of the railroad/train station buildings along with the tracks so germans couldnt use them. After a month of fierce battles Germans were pushed back but its kinda sad as those were historical buildings destroyed that I will never get to see. Its a trainstation along the Moscow-St. petersburg route and Krukovo was the second stop (after Khimki) of the Railroad in the 1860s to top up the steam engines with water and wood/coal. Look it up if you are interested :)

What’s your point?

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 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You wish it was so Russia wasn't called Muscovy before 1721; it was called Russian Tsardom; Peter renamed it to Russian Empire; "Muscovy" or "The Grand Duchy of Moscow" existed only in the Golden Horde afterwards it was known as Russian Tsardom "Kievian Rus" is a term invented by Russian historians in the 19th century to underline the fact that Kiev was the capital; not everyone calls it Kievian Rus, some call it Ancient Rus In the Middle Ages the country didn't have a name, its people simply said that they were from "the Land of the Rus"; in Western Europe, in the Byzantine Empire and in the Arab world the country was known as "Russia"; in fact Russia started calling itself "Russia" because the Greeks called it like that The first city that was founded was Novgorod and it was the first capital then Kiev then Vladimir then Moscow (3 out of 4 are in modern day Russia) The Rurikids that ruled the Kievian Rus proceeded to rule the Russian tsardom; Ivan the Terrible was a Rurikid Also the "Rus" part is where "Russia" comes from and the people called themselves "the Rus" And the Kiev in Kievian Rus isn't the same Kiev as the Kiev today; it's not the same city and it's not on the same place Ukraine didn't exist until 1918; its territory was part of Russia and Poland; and when it first appeared as an independent state its territory was pretty much just Kiev; later Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev gave Ukraine part of Russia's and part of Poland's territory The Ukrainian language is basically a mixture of Russian and Polish dialects Ukraine is a made-up country with a made-up language and a made-up nation with no history or culture of its own Your attempt to claim that the Greeks called the Kievian Rus - Russia, but it has nothing to with modern Russia is hilarious The attempt to claim that Rus is different from Russia is hilarious and ridiculous; it's like claiming that the Magars are different from Hungary or that Ancient Greece and later the Byzantine empire have nothing to do with modern day Greece Russia doesn't derive from Muscovy, it derives from the Ancient Rus and Ukraine derives from Russia and Lenin's good will But keep on trying to convince people against historical consensus that the Rus (RUSsia) is actually Ukraine What's next Alexander the Great is actually Macedonian not Greek? You're pathetic

@@nesirosern8596 not correct

@@vredacted3125 Ah yes, I remember that story. Pure blooded Ukrainians who loved freedom so much, wanted to join Catholic alliance (nato). And then Catherine the Great builded&settled up too many cities with Russians, Greeks, Orthodox christs and other devils, defiled the Ukrainian land with her menstruation, so Ukranians have been resisting till today. True story

I’ve watched this video many times, and it’s one of the finest documentaries I’ve seen on Russia. Russia has a very rich and fascinating history. I hope you will be able to finish the series from the Russian revolution to modern-day Russia.

I’ve decided to watched them for the sake of curiosity due to the influence of an ongoing conflict as of right now. I hold no grudge of support of the side of Ukraine belongs to Russia, neither the opposite as well. It only fascinates me of wondering about its relevancy to the event we had experienced right now. The video itself shows a grand informative History of the modern day Russians and her people. May the soldiers of both Russians and Ukranians, rest in Peace and wished their family and friends with thoughts and prayers. Truly War is a shame tragedy and shouldn’t be repeated but to no avail.

​@@skylinelover9276 what is this comment for? How does this cancel what was said about Rus'? Rus' appeared thanks to the fact that the Novgorod princes united the tribes and lands. This is important.

ENGLISH WIKI: Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev; 8 February 1834 - 2 February 1907 [OS 27 January 1834 - 20 January 1907]) was a Russian chemist and inventor. He is best remembered for formulating the Periodic Law and creating a farsighted version of the periodic table of elements. He used the Periodic Law not only to correct the then-accepted properties of some known elements, such as the valence and atomic weight of uranium, but also to predict the properties of three elements that were yet to be discovered. Which means you, me and all of us can experience the world as we know it thanks to the most important and fundamental “Periodic Table of the Elements” invented by Dmitri Mendeleev, which is called the “basic law of nature”, “the language of the Universe” and “the alphabet of the Universe”. Go watch a video called “The Periodic Table: Crash Course Chemistry #4” on the popular channel called CrashCourse (the video has almost 6 mln views). Where our Periodic Table of the elements is called: «One of the crowning achievements of human thought». And of course Dmitri Mendeleev is a major figure in that video. Or you may also try to educate yourself for once by watching another video called «The genius of Mendeleev’s periodic table - Lou Serico» on Ted-Ed. (almost 2 mln views) Dude, you spend every Christmas season hearing Tchaikovsky’s music and seeing the Tchaikovsky’s Nutcrackers everywhere, practically surrounded by the Russian heritage. If our culture is so inferior according to you, nazi s**bag, why do you keep making screen adaptations of our greatest literature like “War and Peace” etc.? The Telegraph placed BBC historical drama “War & Peace” (2016) 5th in its list of the greatest television adaptations of all time. Learn something about Ivan Pavlov who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904, becoming the first Russian Nobel laureate. Pavlov's principles of classical conditioning have been found to operate across a variety of behavior therapies and in experimental and clinical settings, such as educational classrooms and even reducing phobias with systematic desensitization. Alexander Prokhorov was a Soviet-Russian physicist known for his pioneering research on lasers and masers in the Soviet Union for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1964 with Charles Hard Townes and Nikolay Basov. You know about Antarctica’s existence only thanks to Russians. Antarctica was the last region on Earth to be discovered, unseen until 1820 when on Vostok sighted the Fimbul ice shelf.

We are also the only nation on earth that has a Nuclear-powered Icebreaker Fleet.

@@theedmsociety964 bolsheviks not Russian? But they formed political party supported by Russian people right?

Well, the sanctions against Russia have mostly worked. Not well, but there is some decline in Russia alongside the West. So much so that they are having to buy drones and military equipment from Persia (Iran) and communist- occupied northern Korea. The sanctions are working, just not as well as we would like. However, it's probably best that the West keeps funding its proxy war against the nuclear armed power, as that would mean just one more chance for Russia to become a republic and not stay an authoritarian regime.

​@@prussianeagle1941 1. Did the communists occupy North Korea? The term occupation is usually applied to another state rather than a political party. You can simply say that you do not like communism and not use such manipulations. 2. It’s interesting that you write that Russia should give up autocracy, but you never think that the West should give up trying to force other countries to live by their own rules.

@Mentol_ I can tell you have no idea what you're talking about, lol. In the eyes of Koreans, there is only one Korea, the North or South just happens to be occupied by either a communist dictatorship, or a foreign backed government (depending on which part of Korea you live in of course) so saying that North Korea is occupied by a Communist regime is correct not only in the eyes of Koreans, but also the entire world. Also, I have never supported any of the current governments. And I am not saying anything about Western foreign policy. In fact, I haven't even typed anything out until you started ranting about it? Touch grass kiddo.

@@prussianeagle1941 1. The opinion of Korean residents about the occupation is more of a political declaration rather than a scientific term. 2. You say that you do not support any government. But at the same time, you say that the whole world supports the idea that the communists occupied North Korea. This means that you are promoting the American liberal model of globalization, which gained a dominant role in the world after the collapse of the USSR. This model condemns any government that does not live up to the standards of liberal democracy. If this is so, then there is no need to try to show American interests as universal ones - this is manipulation. 3. In addition, you said that it would be better (for whom?) if the West continues to finance its proxy war against Russia. Next you said that this would create a chance for Russia to become a republic. You didn’t specify, but this probably means that it will be better for Russia if it meets liberal standards of democracy. Did I understand correctly? If this is so, then this means that you have a desire to interfere in the internal politics of Russia. My question was - why do you think that the West has the moral right to evaluate the policies of other countries (including Russia) as not corresponding to the norms of a liberal (democratic) republic?

@Mentol_ look kid. Your profile tells me that your Russian. Try hiding your bias a little better next time.

@@aesop1451 the reason for the military operation is not justified on historical facts, but on the fact that NATO wants to use these lands to weaken the current Russian state. Where in a “war” the goal is to eliminate a foreign state, this is called a military operation for a reason. Its called a military operation because it has 2 goals: the first one is to denazify the current state of Ukraine, the second one to demilitarise it. Why? Because the current Ukrainian state has betrayed the slavic (Rus’) family. The current Ukrainian state/government is infiltrated by Bandera (nazi) supporters, these Ukrainians were brainwashed to believe they are not Russians, where in fact they are. It got so far, that west Ukrainians started terrorising east Ukrainians since 2014 killing over 16.000 peaceful citizens. You could therefor say that this conflict has elements of a civil war, where one side identifies themselves as Russians, and the other side identifies themselves as Ukrainians, which again, is not a nation but a Russian name for Russians who lived at the edge of the Russian empire.

Completely false. Britain would never have supported the south, all support from Britain ended after the emancipation proclamation.

This Russian fleet and Czar visit to Abraham Lincoln is controversial from a historical interpretation. One view is that it was an attempt to save the Russian fleet from attacks by other European countries by moving it out of harms way.

Not to be glib, but probably because this video was about Russia and its history, not its relations with the United States? Where other nations are mentioned, it was to highlight a change in borders and diplomacy, such as the sale of Alaska or establishment of Vladivostok, or to mark the events of war and its effects on the Russian state and people. History and its importance is not centred around the USA, nor is this channel made by an American - so why, pray, would you expect mention of intervention in the US Civil War?

Britain did apologize to the US after the war.

The US isn't even half of America. Spain helped make the US a thing, both by finding América (the parts Vikings never discovered), and by helping beat the British with France contributing much also.

I refer you to our series on Napoleon's invasion of Russia for the full story.

This was my understanding as well.

Tarutinskiy maneuver!You said everything right.

This “documentary” is riddled with inaccuracies, the worst being what they titled the “Russian Revolution”. For this, I’ll quote one of the greatest historical writers of that era who was imprisoned in the Communist gulags during this “Revolution”: “You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - Author of the Gulag Archipelago

It also says that Napoleon invaded Russia, although this is not the case. Greetings from Russia)

putin is actually a bit pizdabolic. He made a lot of mistakes and he also had the huge holes in his narrative, like when he said about the unification of Poland and Lithuania at the end of 16th century, after which, as he said, it was the process of polonization of Ukrainian and Belarusian land. When Tucker asked him, about which period of time was he talking about, he answered "13-14 centuries". So, according to him, Poland and Lithuania united in 16 century and THEN they started to polonize their eastern territories in 13-14 centuries.

Ukraine is the 1/3 of historical Russia - it was occupied and re-identified by Galitsians (ethnicity on the West of Ukraine), with support of the early bolsheviks (in the era of Civil war of 1920s) and after collapse of USSR - by Western countries. Concept of Ukraine as something opposite to Russia is the most scary historical lie and pervertion ever. The separation of Ukraine from Russia was one of the main aims of Hitler in WW2.

Very much agree! Even though it's very surface level history it's one of the best!

It’s all false pride. Pride in being jealous, covetous neighbors. Pride in killing Ukrainians. All this Russian “ history” is probably stolen from the countries they infiltrated with communism. Pride in their 2 or 3 cities, but squalor in the countryside. Ya, great history… pffffft.
