In July 1918, the United States, France and Great Britain asked the Japanese government to take part in a joint intervention in Siberia. The US has proposed that each ally send 7,000 soldiers. The Tokyo military headquarters developed ambitious plans for a military expedition to Siberia, and also persuaded China to agree to Japanese intervention in Northern Manchuria. Instead of 7 thousand soldiers, Japan sent 12 thousand, a naval squadron and military aircraft for Vladivostok. Within a few months, Japan increased the number of troops to more than 75 thousand. a man, and advanced along the Siberian Railway to the Trans-Baikal region between Amur and Baikal. At the end of the First World War, in November 1918, Japanese soldiers occupied all harbors and major cities in Russia and in Primorye and Eastern Siberia. if you started telling, then tell everything and don't jump like a flea. You didn't tell a lot of facts, you hid them, and some of them turned over. You also say that Russia dropped nuclear bombs on Japan in 1945. Your story does not mention the full role of the US and European countries in Vladivostok until 1922 !
Don't forget that 1920 to 1922 they become the Far East Republic. Same if they were Moderate-Socialist, they played on the side of Japan, US and rest of Europe. They don't trusted the Soviet and in 1922 their intuition was right..

Again, another bad take on history on your part. The reason Japan didn't strike at the USSR was because they were already beat by the Soviets during the Battle of Khalkin Gol.

Vladivostok has a long way to go?

Fantastic history and documentary on Valdivostok. Really a great piece. I always belived russia can do more to bring up vladivostok economy that will eventually contribute to the overall economy. I also hoped you would have covered recent russian investment in vladivostok city to develop its infrastructure and local economy but it was not. Can you do a part 2 to cover the recent focus on developing Vladivostok? LIke the new university, the new bridges, the new port building ships up to 100 000 tons or more? and more industries to diversify vladivostok economy? I honestly belive, vladivostok leveraging on its position on the far east end of russia and nearby 3 of the worlds largest economy of china, japan and Korea have the potential to grow to many magnitudes in size and economic development. I believe, Vladivostok has the potential in terms of economy to grow to 3 times as much as it is now. Its just that Korea, or japan or China have their own ulterior reasons for not wanting to invest in vladivostok. Please make a Part 2!
It is almost as if these three countries conspired to blockade the Russian Far East, both from each other and from the outside world. After all, it is reasonable that, if Russian market suddenly opened up to foreign investment, it would definitely intensify the contention and rivalry between these three countries, whose mutual relations are far from cordial.
On the topic of occupation of Kuril islands - those were populated mostly by Ainu, natives of Japanese islands who were pushed away to Hokkaido and then almost exterminated by starvation. Japan up to this day treats them as second-rate citizens up to this day and age (because you can easily tell who's Japanese and who's Ainu - the second ones look like a mix of Yakuts and Slavs). The only time they recognize them as equals to Japanese is when they talk about Sakhalin and Kurils. And even when Japan was funding "expedition" to Siberia during Civil War (while supporting White Movement) to exploit resources and try to install Shinto, they didn't miss the chance to remind Ainu "their place". If we skip all the mess the Kuril problem is, it is simply too inhumane to give Japan populated Kuril islands back, not in this century at very least (they've recognized existence of Ainu only in ~~2018). Also, it's not pursuing openness and investing into infrastructure. Connecting Far East to Siberia is hell of a task due to climate of Siberia and just how much territory it is. Japan did invest a lot into Vladivostok and Sakhalin, Russia did try to repopulate the Far-Eastern lands by giving people free land there. It did show some results but those were "decent" at best. With birthrates that never recovered after WW2 and 90s crisis and immense amount land, cancer in form of modern capitalism (look up at birth rates in the most advanced/rich countries), Russia needs to focus on industrial centers (by intentionally making low population towns to move out to somewhere else) and possibly ease a migration policy from China (they're already trying with Africa), but then again, you don't exactly want a Chinese minority turning into something big. I can understand that author is from one of Baltic states or from Ukraine (by accent), but if you're making a documental film - do try to be reasonable. Saying stuff like "oh, just try to improve infrastructure lol" is a total nonsense when you don't say a thing about the context. I did get my bachelors exactly by researching Russian Far-East and Japan and there's NO easy solution to any problem there. The best solution is to somehow make the territory populous, but then again, we're talking about a territory where you can wake up during a summer and see mountains of snow. Isn't exactly the place you wanna live. Once again, letting Chinese to populate those lands is one of solutions, but those guys do have their own ambitions in Siberia (as mentioned in video about the language that was spoken in some parts of Siberia) and having that land hosting ~~10-40 millions of Chinese is like asking them to annex it into Greater China.
Посмотрел комментарии которые лайкает автор канала. Мало того, что информация из первых ссылок в гугле, так еще у автора явно какие-то проблемы с головой, как и у тех, кто это комментирует.

Vladivostok was under Manchu control from the 16th to the 19th centuries. In 1860 Count Nikolai Muraviev took over the place and founded the city. Russia took over the entire Sea of Japan coast depriving Manchuria of an outlet to the sea. In the early 20th century the city had a large Chinese population which was whittled down thru pogroms and persecutions during the Soviet period. By 1938 most of them had either died or been driven away. It remains mostly a Russian city today.
Anglosaxon race ( US,Britain,France,Germany ,Russia etc ) is imperialist n colonialist. Manchu tribe in outer manchuria region( vladivostok n khabarov region ) already occupied by them.
All Human races have participated in imperialist and colonialism. Mongols under Kengis Khan, Cambodia and Vietnam, China in South Seas, Maori in Aotearoa. Anglosaxon races were the early adopters of sailing ships and global journeys.
Is it really an "unequal treaty" if the alternative is more open conflict and possible total political and military destruction and possibly 100% direct foreign rule? (For some reason that little strip of land in Southern New Mexico is coming to mind for some reason...)

They even supporting us when we still struggle with our freedom against the European colonialist.....when the U.S started a Rebellions here and supporting them,sending bunch of psycopath C.I.A pilots to aided those Rebels...how i knew they send C.I.A pilots?

Two points, WWI was actually very popular with the Russian public. It's only the left-wing factions like the Bolsheviks who were against it. And they were a minority! That's why they took over power by force, they knew they couldn't win the election that was set to happen in December 1917. So they launched their revolution in October 1917. Second, Russia was actually winning in the eastern front of WWI. By all accounts. The war was popular with Russians and they thought they were winning decisively. Even today, it is seen this way in Russia and they mostly see the political infighting that led to the collapse of the Russian government in early 1917 a political disaster to an otherwise successful war.
At around 5:02, before the strike banner fades completely, the text "No support for provisional government" appears for at most a tenth of a second. (And I recall no provisional government in 1904-5; looks like footage from 1917.) May I suggest that you decide what you want to display and display it adequately, and not have these teaser distractions? The same thing happens at 5:06 with "Long live the socialist revolution!!" You introduce the German invasion of Poland that began WWII and follow it immediately with the "Great Patriotic War" that began almost two years later. You do not mention the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact or the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland, the Baltic states, etc. It is fair to say that you gloss over the USSR's share of blame at the beginning of WWII. This silence would not be out of place in a Soviet or Russian schoolbook. The USSR was only against WWII after it went against them and after their complicity had aided the Axis enormously. Your intentions may be entirely innocent, but many viewers will judge otherwise.
I was expecting this Russophobic comment. A typical example of brainwashing. Why didn't you mention the intervention of Western countries in the civil war between the Reds and whites in Russia? Why didn't you mention Western sanctions against the young USSR? That the USSR did not receive reparations from Germany, unlike France, the USA and Britain? That the cause of World War 2 was the brutal imperialism and colonialism of Western countries? That during the Soviet-Polish War of 1919-21, Poland was sponsored by Western European countries with money and weapons? Thanks to this, Poland won, and relations between it and the USSR became absolutely hostile. Why is there no mention of Poland's participation in the illegal division of Czechoslovakia, where Poland also annexed the Tesin region? That is, de facto, Poland, along with Nazi Germany, carried out illegal aggression against a sovereign state? You also forgot to mention the participation of Britain and France in the Munich agreement, where Czechoslovakia was literally given to Germany to eat. Officially. That is, both France and Britain were also responsible for the outbreak of World War 2? And the sanctions and embargoes of the United States and Western countries against Japan, because of which Japan started a war against the United States and allies? You can lie as much as you want, and distort historical facts. And the facts are that it was the West that waged the most brutal and unprovoked wars around the world, drove whole continents into slavery, destroyed peoples and countries. He rewrote history and culture. There is a God, and he sees everything.

It has among the highest average income among Russian cities and I am willing to bet that the average Russian living in Vladivostok today has similar living standards as people in San Francisco which currently has massive problems with unaffordability, lack of cleanliness, dying middle class, people leaving.
fair point
I'm Russian who has been living in Vladivostok for 20 years. Our living standards actually exceed those of San Francisco. We haven't, however, caught up with North Korean standarts, as we can't eat bark of a tree for lunch and breakfast yet. Come to us from your rotten West, enjoy post Soviet culture. You're always welcomed

North Korea seems way more developed and functional than Russia right now.

I hope they send you to bakhmut 😂 lol
i can't believe how delusional you are. i'm from vladivostok and we're waaaaaay back in terms of living standards
As always a banger of a video!
Brilliant video can you do Voronezh next please
If I can find something interesting and new to talk about.
Very informative
I LOVE your wall map. Who makes it, as i've been looking for a large, detailed wall map
You must mean the huge map behind me? I have recently lost it :/ because I had to move.
I just bought it in a map store in Brussels. But I have seen the design on Aliexpress also so I'm sure its on
Amazon too if you look hard enough.
love your video. good job . next can you make video about russian city of petropavlovsk-kamchatsky in kamchatka peninsula. that city is lot more far far east than vladivostok. it would be interesting to see. i gladly hit subscribe button
thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it
Fantastic, could you please do Ukraine productions also?
I have a video on Lviv, it’s similar quality to this.
Fantastic history and documentary on Valdivostok. Really a great piece. I always belived russia can do more to bring up vladivostok economy that will eventually contribute to the overall economy. I also hoped you would have covered recent russian investment in vladivostok city to develop its infrastructure and local economy but it was not. Can you do a part 2 to cover the recent focus on developing Vladivostok? LIke the new university, the new bridges, the new port building ships up to 100 000 tons or more? and more industries to diversify vladivostok economy? I honestly belive, vladivostok leveraging on its position on the far east end of russia and nearby 3 of the worlds largest economy of china, japan and Korea have the potential to grow to many magnitudes in size and economic development. I believe, Vladivostok has the potential in terms of economy to grow to 3 times as much as it is now. Its just that Korea, or japan or China have their own ulterior reasons for not wanting to invest in vladivostok. Please make a Part 2!
It is almost as if these three countries conspired to blockade the Russian Far East, both from each other and from the outside world. After all, it is reasonable that, if Russian market suddenly opened up to foreign investment, it would definitely intensify the contention and rivalry between these three countries, whose mutual relations are far from cordial.
@@熊唯嘉 thts true. Each 3 has its own motves for not investing in vladivostok and make it into a competitor to its own industry segment.
On the topic of occupation of Kuril islands - those were populated mostly by Ainu, natives of Japanese islands who were pushed away to Hokkaido and then almost exterminated by starvation.
Japan up to this day treats them as second-rate citizens up to this day and age (because you can easily tell who's Japanese and who's Ainu - the second ones look like a mix of Yakuts and Slavs). The only time they recognize them as equals to Japanese is when they talk about Sakhalin and Kurils. And even when Japan was funding "expedition" to Siberia during Civil War (while supporting White Movement) to exploit resources and try to install Shinto, they didn't miss the chance to remind Ainu "their place". If we skip all the mess the Kuril problem is, it is simply too inhumane to give Japan populated Kuril islands back, not in this century at very least (they've recognized existence of Ainu only in ~~2018).
Also, it's not pursuing openness and investing into infrastructure. Connecting Far East to Siberia is hell of a task due to climate of Siberia and just how much territory it is. Japan did invest a lot into Vladivostok and Sakhalin, Russia did try to repopulate the Far-Eastern lands by giving people free land there. It did show some results but those were "decent" at best. With birthrates that never recovered after WW2 and 90s crisis and immense amount land, cancer in form of modern capitalism (look up at birth rates in the most advanced/rich countries), Russia needs to focus on industrial centers (by intentionally making low population towns to move out to somewhere else) and possibly ease a migration policy from China (they're already trying with Africa), but then again, you don't exactly want a Chinese minority turning into something big.
I can understand that author is from one of Baltic states or from Ukraine (by accent), but if you're making a documental film - do try to be reasonable. Saying stuff like "oh, just try to improve infrastructure lol" is a total nonsense when you don't say a thing about the context. I did get my bachelors exactly by researching Russian Far-East and Japan and there's NO easy solution to any problem there. The best solution is to somehow make the territory populous, but then again, we're talking about a territory where you can wake up during a summer and see mountains of snow. Isn't exactly the place you wanna live. Once again, letting Chinese to populate those lands is one of solutions, but those guys do have their own ambitions in Siberia (as mentioned in video about the language that was spoken in some parts of Siberia) and having that land hosting ~~10-40 millions of Chinese is like asking them to annex it into Greater China.
Whenever I look at the map of Russia, the first thing I do is go crazy 😂😂
It’s because Russia have annexed former Mongolian territory these include Baykal lake and half of Siberia.

Vladivostok, outter Manchuria and Sakhalin belong to The Far Eastern Asian’s dynasties. Valadivostok was called “Hǎishēnwǎi / 海參崴”under Qing dynasty.
Yup, I wish there was more info about it during that period.
Vladivostok was under Manchu control from the 16th to the 19th centuries. In 1860 Count Nikolai Muraviev took over the place and founded the city. Russia took over the entire Sea of Japan coast depriving Manchuria of an outlet to the sea. In the early 20th century the city had a large Chinese population which was whittled down thru pogroms and persecutions during the Soviet period. By 1938 most of them had either died or been driven away. It remains mostly a Russian city today.
Anglosaxon race ( US,Britain,France,Germany ,Russia etc ) is imperialist n colonialist. Manchu tribe in outer manchuria region( vladivostok n khabarov region ) already occupied by them.
Facts
Han Chinese race is imperialistic and is clearly shown in the occupation of Tibet and sinkiang.
All Human races have participated in imperialist and colonialism. Mongols under Kengis Khan, Cambodia and Vietnam, China in South Seas, Maori in Aotearoa. Anglosaxon races were the early adopters of sailing ships and global journeys.
Is it really an "unequal treaty" if the alternative is more open conflict and possible total political and military destruction and possibly 100% direct foreign rule?
(For some reason that little strip of land in Southern New Mexico is coming to mind for some reason...)
is there a country that russia didn't go to war with?

Two points, WWI was actually very popular with the Russian public. It's only the left-wing factions like the Bolsheviks who were against it. And they were a minority! That's why they took over power by force, they knew they couldn't win the election that was set to happen in December 1917. So they launched their revolution in October 1917.
Second, Russia was actually winning in the eastern front of WWI. By all accounts. The war was popular with Russians and they thought they were winning decisively. Even today, it is seen this way in Russia and they mostly see the political infighting that led to the collapse of the Russian government in early 1917 a political disaster to an otherwise successful war.

At around 5:02, before the strike banner fades completely, the text "No support for provisional government" appears for at most a tenth of a second. (And I recall no provisional government in 1904-5; looks like footage from 1917.) May I suggest that you decide what you want to display and display it adequately, and not have these teaser distractions? The same thing happens at 5:06 with "Long live the socialist revolution!!"
You introduce the German invasion of Poland that began WWII and follow it immediately with the "Great Patriotic War" that began almost two years later. You do not mention the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact or the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland, the Baltic states, etc. It is fair to say that you gloss over the USSR's share of blame at the beginning of WWII. This silence would not be out of place in a Soviet or Russian schoolbook. The USSR was only against WWII after it went against them and after their complicity had aided the Axis enormously. Your intentions may be entirely innocent, but many viewers will judge otherwise.
I was expecting this Russophobic comment. A typical example of brainwashing. Why didn't you mention the intervention of Western countries in the civil war between the Reds and whites in Russia? Why didn't you mention Western sanctions against the young USSR? That the USSR did not receive reparations from Germany, unlike France, the USA and Britain? That the cause of World War 2 was the brutal imperialism and colonialism of Western countries? That during the Soviet-Polish War of 1919-21, Poland was sponsored by Western European countries with money and weapons? Thanks to this, Poland won, and relations between it and the USSR became absolutely hostile. Why is there no mention of Poland's participation in the illegal division of Czechoslovakia, where Poland also annexed the Tesin region? That is, de facto, Poland, along with Nazi Germany, carried out illegal aggression against a sovereign state? You also forgot to mention the participation of Britain and France in the Munich agreement, where Czechoslovakia was literally given to Germany to eat. Officially. That is, both France and Britain were also responsible for the outbreak of World War 2? And the sanctions and embargoes of the United States and Western countries against Japan, because of which Japan started a war against the United States and allies? You can lie as much as you want, and distort historical facts. And the facts are that it was the West that waged the most brutal and unprovoked wars around the world, drove whole continents into slavery, destroyed peoples and countries. He rewrote history and culture. There is a God, and he sees everything.
