@@nellagron4785 "For the first time Ukraine was mentioned in the Hypatian Chronicle. Not Little Rus’ or something else, but Ukraine. Nobody heard about Moscow and Russia at that time.The Chronicle includes several components: Lavrentian Chronicle, the Tale of Bygone Years, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Galician-Volhynian Chronicles which described the events from 860’s to 1292’s. Sources of the chronicles are diverse: Palatine chroniclers, palatine letters, ambassadors’ reports, military tales, stories of bystanders, the Greek chronicles and so on. Ukraine is mentioned in the "Tale of Igor’s Campaign" against Polovtsy in 1185. Many sources identify Kyivan Rus with Ukraine. In some versions, such as "Ermolaevsky list" (1189-1213 years), Ukraine is called Krajina (Ukrainian: country), in Kyiv chronicles - Galich Ukraina."

As a Norwegian, I always find it worth mentioning in videos about the Kievan Rus that the last (Norwegian) Viking warlord, Harald Hardråde, was deeply connected to Kiev, and also our only saint Olav the Holy, had to flee to Kiev for a period. The nobility in Norway in general seem to be deeply connected to, and had their power and wealth from the eastern trade routes, the rivers into the Black Sea and south to Constantinople / Miklagard. (One million dollar will be sent to each and everyone that comment that the modern spelling of Kiev is "Kyiv", from the *Keyboard Cowboy Community*.)

Romanovs spoke french and german, barely could communicate in russian at all.

Kievan Rus is not Russia, even though Russia was a part of it centuries ago. It is an ancestor country of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.

From Ukrainian language standpoint, Ukraine seems to be meaning "inner/separate land" rather than "borderland". U - means "in" and krayina - means "land/country". There are some old songs that contain word "ukraine"(україна) as meaning simply "land"/"inner land". And even though the term first appears when Ukraine was not a border but a center - still it is commonly said that it means "borderland". Of course this is all just guessings and obviously it can not be stated as a fact, but this version deserved to be put in the video IMHO.

The best and simplest way of explaining the White Rus, Russian and Ukrainian divide, is the following. The West Slavs and South Slavs split up sooner into separate Kingdoms (by the year 1000 and gradually became the Kingdom of Bohemia, Poland, Croatia, Serbia etc.) than the East Slavs who remained united with one East Slavic Rus people and language until the 11th century. The split of said Rus Empire into smaller Princedoms happened later and was more dramatic due to the not long after Mongol Conquest which divided the people of the former Rus even further. With the fall of most Mongol territories in Europe, the second incarnation of Eastern Rome and finally the Hungarians, new Empires rose on their lands in the 1400s and 1500s. Austria (West), Ottoman (South) and Russia (East). The weaker or smaller Slavic states in the West, South and parts of East slowly but surely ended up in one of these three empires. Until only one non-Russian Slavic state remained independent by 1600. Poland with its own "Empire" in the Southern Rus lands. Today's Ukrainians are thus the Orthodox and Greek Catholic Rus people that found themselves in the borderlands between Poland and Lithuania until 1569 and from then Poland-Lithuania and Russia. Thus they became closer attached to the West than the Russians in the East, a process that was started with the Kingdom of Ruthenia and its ties to the Papacy in Rome and continued under Poland, Lithuania and then Austria.

Poland almost ended up the same way as the part of Kyiv Rus that is today Ukraine.

Even so Pomerelia with Gdansk was first brought back to the Polish crown in 1466, Mazovia with Warsaw did not become a permanent province of the Kingdom of Poland again until 1526 and the rich Silesian lands with Wroclaw did not return to Poland until after WW1 and specifically WW2 (in the case of Wroclaw).

Novgorod is... a special case, to be honest. It was a very different place from Vladimir-Suzdal and later Moscow. Unlike Moscow, which had a centralised and authoritarian regime, Novgorod was a feudal republic where the prince was fully accountable to the nobility. Novgorod, unlike Moscow, was heavily interconnected with Europe, establishing close economic ties with the Hanseatic League. The Novgorod dialect was the most distinct of all East Slavic dialects, having unique features common with West Slavic languages. Novgorod had all the potential to become its own nation fully distinct from the Russian nation centered around Moscow, but the conquest of the Novgorod Republic by the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1478 and the massacre of 1570 put an end to it.

Because the Ukrainian bs is strong with contemporary pop politics now. When Novgorod was a prosperous Republic, Kiev had once again become an insignificant town with a symbolic meaning. When Novgorod was the capital of the Rurikids, Kiev was just another trading outpost. The cradle of the Rus was always in the old capital, Great Novgorod. It's really irrelevant what was with Moscow during the days of the Kievan grand principality. Moscow wasn't important back then and Kiev wasn't the end all be all. By the time Moscow rose to prominence Kiev was mostly a provincial center to a few different states including the Cossacks who didn't care about it any more than any other city of theirs.

If one would go back in time, they would find Cumans and other nomadic people first and foremost. These people living there at the time may have been assimilated by Slavic people during the centuries since then, but that is a completely different thing.

Mostly Russians translate the word "Ukraine" as borderland. By this they are trying to strengthen the secondary importance of Ukraine as a border area of Russia. In Ukraine, another theory of the origin of the name is widespread. It stands for "Inner Earth". It is based on the meaning of the Ukrainian word "Kray" (land, country) and the preposition "y" (in, inside). The fact is that in Russia the word "krai" is more often used in the sense of "border, outskirts", and in Ukrainian as "land". for example - "ridnyu kray" (native land). Therefore, it is natural for Russians to interpret the word "Ukraine" in accordance with their own lexical features, and for Ukrainians - according to their own. Since Western countries more often looked at Ukraine through the eyes of Russia (USSR), the Russian interpretation of the name is more common. In the same way, until recently, the Russian reading of the names of Ukrainian cities was used all over the world - Kiev, not ukrainian Kyiv. Lvov, not Lviv. By the way, this video uses the Russian spelling of the word Kiev, but Ukrainian - Lviv.

The weird thing is Ruthenians are an ethnic group living in Ukraine and Slovakia, and for whatever reason they aren't recognised as an official minority in Ukraine.
@istn9478 2 роки тому
Yes, they are a very distinct group to the best of my knowledge. Some of my ancestors are Rusyns from Slovakia. They (used to) have their own language before they got assimilated by each Nation-state where they lived. The Ukrainian nation is a modern creation in the same way as the Russian Nation is modern creation as well.
@alekshukhevych2644 2 роки тому
Ukrainians are Rusyns themselves historically of course, but those are simply slavic Rusyns that did not take a Ukrainian ethnonym.
@Yara-ox5my 2 роки тому
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. According to the Law of Ukraine "On National Minorities in Ukraine", citizens of Ukraine have the right to freely choose and restore their nationality. That is, the current legislation of Ukraine gives all citizens the right to identify themselves with any nationality without any documentary evidence. Moreover, in Ukraine there are no documents that could prove the nationality of the citizen (there is no state document where you need to indicate nationality)

@@bohdankubacek9688 It is difficult for me to answer your question, because you have mixed very different questions into one. After the collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, certain Ukrainian lands were conquered by the Russians. The Russians often founded their own on the site of existing settlements. For example Hadzhibey became Odesa, the remains of the old settlement of Vytautas became Mykolaiv. But the establishment of a city does not make the people native to this land. It's like calling the British a native people of Africa or India or China, because the British have set up many settlements there.

2:30 stop the cap, first domesticated horse remains where found in akmola province of kazkhstan and the tribe taht domesticated them called "botai"
@VigneshVicky-ku8gr 2 роки тому
Yes. Botai pushed the domestication of horses even earlier and they were non Indo-Europeans!
@coltonross5414 2 роки тому
Yes, but that domestication event ultimately led to nothing since the botai vanish from the archeological record and their horses returned to the wild to become the modern wild horse of Eurasia. It was affectively a dead end domestication event. All modern domestic horses trace their ancestry to the yamnaya culture of the ponitc steppe ie roughly modern Ukrainian territory.
@ordinaryguy8557 2 роки тому
@@coltonross5414 Botai were the first to domesticate the horses, it wasn’t their horses that became widespread. And scientists not even sure if yamnya was first to domesticate horses
@coltonross5414 2 роки тому
@@ordinaryguy8557 science is never sure of anything, but it can confidently say with existing evidence that the modern domestic horse was first domesticated on the poetic step by proto indo European speaking peoples. The botai barely domesticated their horses, which is why even today they are called wild and retain primitive features, such as stiff manes, short legs and uniform colouration. Tamed is a more fitting term for the botai horse relationship.

@@coltonross5414 well I can confirm that when u milk an animal , ride it for hunting and build stables for them its called domestication .

A couple of notes here. Kyiv is the mother of (Rus) cities. First among the other Rus cities. Different meanings here. In medieval times Ruthenians(Russians) were called Rus people of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania / Poland and later Commonwealth. People that lived in Moskovy were called Moscovites. Modern use of Russians started with Peter the Great. About Rus itself, there was a saying "Going on Rus", "Идти на Русь". Rus was meant only as a Kyiv, Pereyaslavl, and Chernihiv lands. Galich/Volyn/Novgorod for example was not considered Rus. All of the dukes were equal except for Kyivan Duke, he was considered Grand Duke. If I remember correctly it wasn`t a primogeniture system (father->son), but the oldest of the dukes.

@Shin_Lona 2 роки тому
It's already history... just ongoing. Here's a brief summary, so you don't have to wait: It all started out in 2014 when George Soros and the Globohomos, overthrew the rightfully elected government in Ukraine and installed a puppet regime. Then it devolved into a civil war for 8 years, where the Ukranian Neo-Nazi paramilitaries were absorbed into the regular army and launched a genocide against the ethnic Russians in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. There was money laundering and illegal arms deals courtesy of NATO... a bunch of treaties were violated... and eventually Russia reaches the end of their patience, comes in and hands Ukraine their ass.

In Ottoman sources, they were classified as seperate ethnicities as well. For example Hurrem Sultan, who was the famous wife of Suleiman the Magnificent was claimed to be Ruthenian descent , not Russian or Muscovite in that sense. Today's Russia as a state was called as Muscovy for a long period of time and Ruthenians were classified as different people.

thank u for the research, great work, just 1 point i'd like to edit. historians point out, that the name "ukraine" comes from the word "krai" (land), while russian historians of 19 century insisted "ukraine" comes from the word "border" since it helps them to build up the russian empire theory and to justify the occupation of ukrainian land.
