A note on 'Ivan the Terrible' - in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный' meaning 'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he known as Ivan 'the Terrible' in English? Because he was evil or useless or because of anti-Russian bias? No, because 'Terrible' in English also means awesome or formidable - this was well understood when 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English centuries ago, but now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here: www.dictionary.com/browse/terr.... The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

Sorry for my English. I am from Russia, Siberia, I live near Lake Baikal. I like to watch videos about foreigners in Russia, their opinions, stories, reactions, and so on. We very often hear that the West and America do not like history, but more and more often I began to come across such foreign channels where they show and tell our story. And there are a lot of views on such channels and what else pleases, reading the comments, it is clear that you are very interested in it. Thank you to all of you, the authors of the channel, the authors of the comments, to all those who just watched these and other videos about Russia... It's a scary time right now, and I'm really pleased to know that so many people in the world want to know history.

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 🤔

@@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.

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.

@@daemonzap1481 🤦🏻‍♂️ No, you’re absolutely wrong and delusional. Learn a thing or two, please. 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. Modern Icebreakers are also one of the Russian inventions. BTW Russia is the only country constructing nuclear-powered icebreakers. We are also the only nation on earth that has a Nuclear-powered Icebreaker Fleet. You can enjoy Hollywood which is based on the Stanislavski’s system of actor training, preparation, and rehearsal technique. Viruses are known and can be dealt with thanks to a Russian botanist, the discoverer of viruses (1892) and one of the founders of virology Dmitry Ivanovsky. We are still a leading space superpower that launched the 1st satellite into space back in 1957 (sputnik in Russian, that’s how we named our COVID-19 vaccine “Sputnik-V” that we also first in the world came up with). Russian cosmonauts are actually the commanders who play one of the major roles on the ISS (Internarional Space Station). The launch of the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with 36 British OneWeb communication satellites from the Vostochny cosmodrome (Russian Far East), which took place on May 28, 2021, became the 59th consecutive accident-free Russian space launch. Earlier this year on the 12th of April Russia and the world celebrated the 60th anniversary since first man journeyed into Space (1961), Yuri Gagarin who became the first human to journey into outer space, achieving a major milestone in the Space Race. He became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles. He even had a tea party with your queen BTW. Mikhail Kalashnikov and his legendary assault rifle AK-47 is the most widespread small arms and light weapons in the world. After more than seven decades, the AK-47 model and its variants remain the most popular and widely used rifles in the world. Afanasy Nikitin (born in the 15th century) was a Russian merchant from Tver and one of the first Europeans to travel to and document his visit to India. He described his trip in a narrative known as “The Journey Beyond Three Seas” (1475). Tetris tile-matching video game created by Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov became an international sensation in the mid 80s and is still a pop-culture phenomenon. Tetris is rooted within popular culture and its popularity extends beyond the sphere of video games; imagery from the game has influenced architecture, music and cosplay. The game has also been the subject of various research studies that have analyzed its theoretical complexity and have shown its effect on the human brain following a session, in particular the Tetris effect. Alexander Popov was a Russian physicist, who was one of the first persons to invent a radio receiving device simultaneously with Marconi. To be continued…

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

Rurik and the following history has as much to do with Russian and Ukrainian history as Rollo has to do with the history of Normandy or France: namely nothing. A small group of northerners who maintained an armed trading point in a foreign land and over time became absorbed into the surrounding population as an upper class. Russian history begins only with the Muscovite prince who was rewarded by the Mongols for betraying the other Slavic princes. So Russians have learned that betrayal and lack of morality are the basis of their state and not a fictional heroic story from pre-Christian times. In this respect, the Soviet period was a consistent continuation of a worthless society - until today.

In a historical context, it is important to understand that during the wars in the Caucasus and Central Asia, the Great Chess Game between Britain and Russia had already begun, the echoes of which we hear today in full. The initiator of the game was Britain, which at that time was “the Empire on which the Sun never sets,” having captured China and India, they tried to subjugate Iran, Afghanistan, and then rush to Central Asia. The British dreamed of owning the Heartland territory, in the underbelly of Russia, in order to control Eurasia and all the main trade routes. Of course, Russia was against it and was forced to capture all of Central Asia, the Caucasus and parts of Persia, which was unable to resist Britain and Russia. If Russia had not taken these territories, Britain would have subjugated them. Although, of course, it is a controversial issue whether Britain would have had enough strength for these conquests, but the fact that the British had plans is an indisputable fact. We can observe a similar situation today, when the former republics of the USSR are subject to constant intrusive pressure from the Anglo-Saxons and the West, some were absorbed by the EU, and since 2014 Ukraine has become like the 51st US state and fulfills any US demands except to stop corruption.

What an incredible history of about 1200 years for Russia. Russia has some of the greatest culture and art in world history and a fascinating and mind-blowing history history of growing and expanding. I don't know if there's ever been a major country like Russia that has been invaded so muthrough the centuries. The Western world has tried to sanction Russia to death in the last year and a half but that has failed miserably. These countries in the West have basically sanctioned themselves as they are all in decline. I would love to see a video that takes us from 1918 Russia to present day Russia. Russian history has been a wild ride with a lot of good and a lot of bed just like most countries.
@prussianeagle1941

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.

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?

@@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.

So far, I can earnestly say that I'm so keen on learning about Russian history concerning its revolutionary battles throughout these centuries. Things that I hadn't known ever before. Not only is this country so mysterious, but also amazing, with a fascinating cultural legacy. It seems to have a never-ending story. I dare say I won't ever get bored studying and learning about it further and further! However, the only thing that bores me to the grave is to take the trouble to bear miserable people who immediately mentions political issues right after reading my statements about Russia, as if it had on earth anything to do with my appreciation for the country!

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.

@@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.

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

Don't be fooled, they are very imperialists, most of them regret that soviet union collapsed. They have deep feelings for the territories which don't belong to them. Search better and you will find other countries with more blood and honorable self deffence wars. Also they don't have a feeling of loosing anything because they were conquering all the time. That's why they don't have empathy towards other nations

Amazing video, as always. These days you really have to look back at least a year to find some really accurate material on Russian history. For example, I recently saw a video named "The Mongol Invasion of Ukraine". While the quality was there, it's really annoying when people start changing history (in this case, renaming events) because of how they feel towards a country or, more specifically, towards its current regime. I understand this video was created before the war in Ukraine, but I trust that it would have the same accuracy and impartiality even if it were published today. That's why I like your channel. Keep up the good work.

The history of Rus' is the history of Russia, because: 1) Read "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" - a great work of ancient Russian literature, written in 1185, telling about the unsuccessful campaign of Russian princes led by Igor Svyatoslavich against the Polovtsy. There they openly call the author calls the land of Rus' - the Russian land. Yes, and in Wikipedia itself it is noted - the campaign of Russian princes. 2) Look at the emblem of our city of Ladoga - a falcon falling down. 3) Anna Yaroslavna (daughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wise and Queen of France) is called Anna of Russia in the west. 4) Also Russia and Rus' - the words are similar. In Greek, "Rus" is translated as Russia. 5) The term "Kievan Rus" appeared only in the 19th century, as a designation of the period of time 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. 6) When Kyiv was captured by Prince Oleg, he gave him the title "Mother of Russian Cities". And throughout our history, Kyiv bore such a title. 7) The art that has developed throughout the history of Rus' is called ancient Russian art. (Even on Wikipedia it says) 8) “We have nowhere to go, we have to fight - willingly or not. We will not disgrace the Russian land, but we will lie down here with our bones, for the dead have no shame. If we run, we will be shamed. So we will not run, but we will stand strong. you. If I fall, prepare for yourself too. And the soldiers said - "Where your head lies, there we will lay our heads." This is the expression of Prince Svyatoslav from The Tale of Bygone Years. 8) Russia and the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Russian kingdom (until 1598) were ruled by the Rurik dynasty. 9) The first mention of Moscow as a city dates back to 1147, long before the Mongols set foot on Ancient Rus'. 10) In 1018, Yaroslav the Wise, the Grand Duke of Novgorod, issued a code of laws called "Russian Truth". 10) The title of Daniel of Galicia, given to him by the Pope and whose lands will be annexed to Lithuania after his death, was "Rex Russiae" and "duces totius terrae Russiae, Galicie et Ladimirie", which means "King of Russia".

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.

Rurik and the following history has as much to do with Russian and Ukrainian history as Rollo has to do with the history of Normandy or France: namely nothing. A small group of northerners who maintained an armed trading point in a foreign land and over time became absorbed into the surrounding population as an upper class. Russian history begins only with the Muscovite prince who was rewarded by the Mongols for betraying the other Slavic princes. So Russians have learned that betrayal and lack of morality are the basis of their state and not a fictional heroic story from pre-Christian times. In this respect, the Soviet period was a consistent continuation of a worthless society - until today.
