bad joke
32 seconds of silence for fallen soldiers in Ukraine
Khan-Tuvan Dyggvi, according to Omeljan Pritsak, was the name of a Khazar khagan of the mid 830s. He led a rebellion of the Kabars against the Khagan Bek. As this rebellion took place roughly contemporaneously with the conversion of the Khazars to Judaism, Pritsak and others have speculated that the rebellion had a religious aspect. Omeljan Pritsak speculated that a Khazar khagan named Khan-Tuvan Dyggvi, exiled after losing a civil war, settled with his followers in the Norse-Slavic settlement of Rostov, married into the local Scandinavian nobility, and fathered the dynasty of the Rus' khagans.
Nevertheless, the possible Khazar connection to early Rus' monarchs is supported by the use of a stylized trident tamga, or seal, by later Rus' rulers such as Sviatoslav I of Kiev; similar tamgas are found in ruins that are definitively Khazar in origin.
Nice
Making an argument from silence, we may assume that the Khazars were the first permanent tribute-taking polity in the area. Kiev, which two centuries later was to become a key centre of a Rus' state formation, was founded by the Khazars as an outpost. When, in the ninth century, Vikings from the North appeared and formed the first polity centred on this area, it was the Khazars against whom they had to compete. Archaeological findings document a Scan- dinavian presence from the middle of the seventh century. By the beginning of the ninth century, they were residents (Noonan 1986: 339). By 839, we know from the Annals of St. Bertin that they had established a polity known as the Rus' Khaganate. To quote the leading Khazar scholar, Peter Golden,
As for the Rus' qaghanate, we know nothing concrete about its origins. Both Pritsak and the writer of these lines concluded that there must have been some marital connection between the Khazar qaghanal line and the Rus rulers. Pritsak suggested that the founder of the line was a Khazar Qaghan who fled the Kabar (Qabar) revolt in the 830's and 'found refuge in the Rus' factory (trading post) dominating the vital Volga-Donets route from the region near Iaroslavl'-Rostov. I also argued for a blood tie because anything less, in steppe Eurasia (the most important audience for such imperial pre- tentions), would have been meaningless.
(Golden 2001: 32)
A little correction on the red-black flag: it's actually older. Red-black banners were used in cossack times and can be seen on several paintings, even on the Repin's letter to the sultan

P.S. And yeah, there are much more of us, than 70 thousand. In Ukraine itself there around 500-600 thousand and unfortunately, thanks to Russia during last a couple of centuries, there are more than a million Crimean Tatars around the world, especially in Europe. Because they simply had to immigrate since harsh and severe conditions, that Russia created for them over and over again

Hey, Barb, the red'n'black flag wasn't quite originated in the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. It was a long-time Cossack banner alongside with the blue-yellow banner.
The swastika used to be a "symbol of good fortune", unfortunately Hitler's crimes changed the meaning of this symbol. Just like the crimes of the UPA changed the meaning of this flag.
@@JanKowalski-hq5mi, the only flag which meaning hasn't been changed since WWII is Vlasov Army flag...
@@JanKowalski-hq5mi well then the crimes of the RLA should've changed the meaning of the Russian flag and yet you have it in some sport events still even after RuZZia turned into literal Nazis

Most countries put symbalic colors and symbols on thier banner, "red for blood, blue for indurance" and then there's Ukraine which is just: Sky,Field.
That is why ukraine is my favorite flag.
Yeah!. Oh, btw, it's also can be a sky and sea at the time of sunsets, when sky is already sets dark but the water still reflects yellow sunrays 💙💛
@@archwarden7004 you could, but if you look at it from a historic point of view, even during the Union's (technically that's what Rus was) peak for landmass amount there was no access to the seaside, mb up north later when the GDoPLR formed. And I'm not naming it Kyiv Rus cause, well, it was documented as Rus w capital in Kyiv only cause the Byzanthians needed to have this in their documents for trade purposes.

The demographic data you provided (80% Ukrainian origin and 17% Russian origin) actually INCLUDE Crimea and the occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. These figures are from the 2001 census, and if you exclude Crimea and the occupied territories, the percentage of people of Russian origin would be significantly lower (because Crimea and Sevastopol were the only territories of Ukraine where the majority of the population was of Russian origin in 2001).
...and if remember that "ukranian" since USSR was prompt in passport, where nearly ALL newborns were signed as ukranian if born here and parents didnt insist to write other nationality... basicly most russian parents, who moved here have in result ukranian kids.

The red and black flag was also used during the Galicia Massacres against Polish and Jewish population during WW2 by UPA and OUN.
3:10 Not only against the Soviets but also against Polish ethnic minority in Ukraine, "Volhynian slaughter". To this day when we Poles see this flag we feel discomfort but we understand that for most people in Ukraine flag is not associated with that event.
Sorry my Polish friend for this, even if neither me, nor my ansestorm are affiliated with this huge tradegy, I still can apologise for this. I know it hurts when you see Red-Black flag, because UPA stained and defiled it for Poles, for Ukrainians (just average Ukrainians, not mad "against every nationaly except Ukrainian" people) it's still considered as a war flag, and there are big legend that if you spill blood on Ukrainian Blue-Yellow flag it will turn Red-Black, like this flag comes in times of great trouble.
I do not seek your forgiveness or something, if my nation did a huge tradegy, I am ready to apologise for it.
Love you all Polish friends!
Niech żyje Polska!
@@archwarden7004 Yeah I totally understand it and I do thinkt that it is just a war flag for a huge majority of Ukrainians, and it's not like Poland did nothing wrong to Ukraine we also have a lot to apologise for, it's just that him saying that it was only used against the Soviets is well not the whole truth. I really like how both of our countries and our people work together for better future that's heart-warming so:
Glory to Ukraine!
Слава Україні!
Well, you gotta mention Pilsudsky turning the back to the Poland-Ukraine alliance after WW1…after tiring Ukraine out as well, when the Soviets were attacking, just to keep Poland away from the Soviets, so there were additional losses for Ukraine...we all know what happened later!
Polish occupied Ukraine too, fought against the Ukrainian independence, banned Ukrainian, closed Ukrainian schools, "pacified" Ukrainians
To this day many Polish nationalists still deny our existence like Russians.
@@ОлександрКорольов-л1х That's one of the things I had in mind when I said we have things to apologise for, we did betray you back then even though without your help we would have lost that war.

By the way, Red and black flag (we also call it a combat flag) was used by Zaporizhzhia Cossacks, you can even see it in the Illia Riepin's painting "Cossacks are Writing a Letter to the Turkish Sultan".

One thing about the red-black flag and its highly problematic association with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army or UPA is that after UPA ditched the Nazis and started fighting against literally everyone, they were also fighting against the Polish partisans from the Home Army or AK and committing brutal massacres of local ethnic Poles in western Ukraine, especially the Volhynia region. This is all extremely nasty and complicated stuff, as there arguably were legitimate grievances that Ukrainians had against Poles (that in no way justified UPA's actions). Some Polish partisan units engaged in revenge-killing of Ukrainian civilians (on much smaller scale, and without the approval of the AK command), and after the war, the Soviet-controlled Polish communist government committed the "Operation Vistula", which was an ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians from the south-eastern corner of modern Poland. At the same time, there were cases of reluctant cooperation between Polish anti-Communist partisans (mostly formef AK members) and UPA, despite that they were most viciously fighting each other just before that.
So yeah, there is a lot of ugly historical drama between Polish and Ukrainian peoples, and despite what you said in the main video, it's much more recent than the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and we haven't worked it out completely yet. But I think it makes current Polish-Ukrainian cooperation even more remarkable and gives me hope for the future.
I wouldn't call it ethnic cleansing but it was a necessity to move Ukrainians to other parts of Poland due to the Ukrainians still massacring Poles even after the borders were established. It was an action of self-defense by the Polish people living in the regions where Ukrainans had remained after the border changes.
@@Rickeeey1 dude, did you seriously just excuse "ethnic cleansing"? wtf?!
@@allyson87 Ethnic cleansing is probably the wrong word. The Ukrainians and other Ruthenian minorities were moved to other parts of Poland, especially to the northern and western parts, to the so called regain territories (which Stalin took from Germany and gave to Poland). Since Ukrainian groups were still terrorising (murdering) Poles in the southeastern parts of Poland, it was a good solution to the problem. It was self defense.
@@Rickeeey1 You said what you said. You can edit your comment all you want, but your explanation isn't helping either. Maybe look up the definition of "ethnic cleansing", mass relocation is explicitly included. Every time a country does it, they must first come up with a way to try to justify it to themselves and others; ethnic cleansing isn't something people just randomly do. The "justification" always involves somehow framing it as "self defense", but it never is. Another ethnicity existing is not an actual threat.
@@allyson87 "Another ethnicity existing is not an actual threat." Tell that to the Ukrainians who celebrate the people who murdered 200k Poles.

How is life under russian occupation??
@@sct12364 It's like you went back 20-30 years into the past. A deserted city, out of a population of 50,000, about 10,000 are left, which are being robbed by invaders and collaborators. The cost of products has increased by 2-5 times, and their quality has fallen by the same amount. Lots of sites, like YT itself are blocking and we have to use VPN. Someone gives up and gets used to the occupation, someone lives in anticipation of liberation, someone lives like in Groundhog Day. You can be taken away and tortured at any moment, because someone slandered you in order to take away your property, or because you just looked askance at the "liberator". This is not life, this is survival. In addition to collaborators who steal everything they can in the hope that during the Ukrainian offensive they will be able to quickly take everything and leave for Crimea or russia and go unpunished. And of course shelling, both from the russian side, the so-called "departures" and from the Ukrainian "arrivals". Only "arrivals" often come from the russian side to remove material for their propaganda, to terrorize the civilian population or before the arrival of the next mediocrity from the IAEA. From the Ukrainian side, the arrivals go through the equipment, the accumulation of troops and ammunition depots, which they are directed by local partisans, who also kill both the occupiers and collaborators, with varying success. In conclusion, I will not advise this to anyone, except for the russians, because they have been used to living like this for many years and want everyone to live like that.

well easiest answer would be - Rurikids used the tamgas to mark their things and cattle like Khazars did. Then they started using them as seals, each branch of family and separate prince used his own personal variation. Then it transformed into coat of arms. Basically it means "owned by Rurikid dynasty". But now applied to whole country, ahah.

Awesome video as always, Barbs! One relevant question I have is why do some people use "the" before Ukraine? Like "I am from The Ukraine" or "Let's talk about about The Ukraine"? People don't say "I'm from The Russia" or "The France" but people do say "The USA" so I can relate.
"the Ukraine" was used alot in the past to refer to the place as a region of RE and USSR mainly.
It became symbolic that after independence ppl would say just "Ukraine"
i guess thats the history
About USA. USA consists of States, that's why you should write The USA.
I found one small detail in the Ukraine episode - when Noah was talking about the Antonov AN 225 "Mriya" the picture shows an Antonov AN 124 (just 4 engines instead of the six of the true AN 225). As an amateur plane enthusiast I was truly heartbroken when I got the news that it was destroyed in the early attacks on Ukraine. Greetings from Germany! The work you do is great, the little know-it-all or "Besserwisser" in me had to bring this small detail to your awareness.
Sorry for the repost, I just now saw that someone else wrote the same hint in the comments further below.

"Прапор червоно-чорний це наше знамено

Also the red stands for the blood of those who fight for the freedom

Some additional info about Ukrainian Insurgent Army: they were active during 1942-1960, the main goal was to regain Ukraine's independence on all theritorries, where ethnical Ukrainians lived. They were fighting not only with the Soviets, but also Nazis and Polish resistence movement (Armia Krajowa).
UIA initially were waiting until Soviets and Nazis exhaust each other. Important to note, that after Holodomor (1932-1933) and mass repressions done by the Soviet army and government, Ukrainian resistence movement was ready to use anybody's help to fight Soviet occupiers, hence the so-called "collaboration" with the Nazis. Hitler actually promised Ukrainians, that if they help fight the Soviets, Nazi Germany will help regain independence instead. At that time that seemed like a good deal, even though UIA didn't support any of the Nazi's views.
well said 👏👏👏
What about massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia? The UIA are nazis
Thank you for the explanation but the made a pact with the devil and to this day Third Reich symbols are prevalent in some parts of Ukraine. They were on the wrong side of history and still maintained that after the demise iof the Third Reich (in the name of seeking independence-) maybe they should have adopted a different message and ideology after the demise of the Nazis
And also I wanted to add for Poles:
I understand your feelings for UPA and that red-black flag, you have a lot of reasons to hate them, we understand. BUT! I want you to know that we don't use those flags as hate towards Poland neither on the West nor on the East of our country, we use them only against Russia. Also, we consider UPA fighters who fought in WW2 heroes not for what they did to Poles, but only for the fact that they were fighting against Nazi and Russians. I live in the region where all those terrible events where happening during WW2, and where UPA where fighting (Ivano Frankivsk region), I heard those stories about them from my own grandmother and great grandmother and from people from their village, not all guys from UPA where saints and indeed amongst them where those who just took advantage of situation to commit crimes, (but I still believe that the majority of them where just fighting for Ukraine). The point is, I have never in my life heard someone saying something bad about Poland, even in my region, and I'm talking about the region where Bandera was born. Noone says that killing Poles was the right thing to do, we know that it was really dark page in our history. I just want you to understand that currently in Ukraine, thise red-black symbols aren't a sign of hate towards Poland, it is only the symbol against Russia, they hate it and are afraid of it, so we use it
Finally. Someone speaking facts
0:26 excuse me? The annexation was illegal, Crimea is Ukrainian. Period. Of course you should include it
Слава Украине! Героям Слава! Алға, Қазақстан!!! 🇰🇿❤🇺🇦🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
What hero's? Nazi Banderas that killed Polish?

Oklahoma is not the midwest barbs. It's definitely OH, MI, IN, IL, WI, MN. You can argue IA and maybe the western edge of PA.
YES we want a Scandinavian episode. PLEASE
Happy Ukrainian Flag Day!! 🇺🇦 PS. Crimea is Ukraine.
It's actually Volodymyr the Great, not Vladimir
Apart from that, well done! The sky and wheatfield(sometimes sunflower field) also may be interperted as symbols of freedom for Ukrainians as well
Both Vladimir in Russian and Volodymyr in Ukrainian
Actually it was Володимѣръ (Volodimier) in the Old East Slavic language of his time.
@@alexj9603 the romanization of that would be Volodiměr. It makes sense to use OES versions of the names of the kings of Kyivan Rus, as its people were not Belarusian, Ukrainian, or Russian at that time.
@@alexj9603 yeah so Volodimir, not Vladimir
@@shwabb1 True. That's the "scientific" transliteration, which is more precise, but not everybody is familiar with the diacritic used here.
The blue-yellow flag means blue skies and yellow fields of wheat (It mainly stands for prosperity and sustainability). The trident is an old Slavonic symbol denoting the mythical falcon (This is already more according to Slavic mythology) also, if you get used to it, you can see the word "WILL" on the coat of arms of Ukraine, denoting "freedom". I also do not advise you to confuse the Russians and Ukrainians, Ukrainians are Rusyns who have lived on these lands since the time of the Slavic resettlement, and the Russians are essentially closer to the Finno-Ugric peoples.
A bit of history.
Peter 1, from the hands of Metropolitan Prokopovich, stole the title "Rus" and announced that Muscovy became the empire "Russia", although the title was given to the ancient family of Danilo of Galicia and after the Principality of Lithuania-Ruskom (After known as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or also as the Kingdom of Poland, Russia and Lithuania). After Catherine 2 came to the throne of Russia, she undertook to rewrite the history of Moscow because she did not like that the so-called "Great Empire of Russia" was for a long time a vassal of the Mongol Horde and after the Golden Horde. So they came up with the legend of Alexander Nevsky, although in fact he was the most devoted servant of the Khan.
Readers. Keep in mind, everything he wrote is pseudo-historical distortions and hardly has anything to do with the truth. Everything he said is broken by the study of modern historical, linguistic and genetic studies.*
You forgot the black sun
I’m shocked that there most comments were nice in the video 😅would’ve expected it to be your most controversial episode so far
Guessing every pro-usski troll fell down in the first video/post
Fun fact: The same flag (but different coat of arms) is also used in Lower Austria, a federal state of Austria.
You can recognise this flag in the city Narva, country Estonia. But it is upside down and in reality they are just similar, anyway, many russian tourists are confusing between flags.
Love Ukraine from 🇮🇱 ❤️🇺🇦
When they give the heroes a metal named after the ʙʊtcheɾ Khmelnytsky...........
Super cool video, thank you for doing such a great job, just one detail, it's Odesa not Odessa (it's russian version) :)
Thank you! 🇺🇦
Hey barbs! I'm currently in cardiff, Wales for about 8 months of the year for uni and Cornwall, England for the rest of the year. So when you come visit the UK I'd love to show you round wherever I am when you are here. If I'm in wales could go to some castles. Cornwall there's plenty of stuff to do like visiting the tin mines and trying some cornish pasties
Funfact: This video was posted at 13:05 in Ukraine
what's fun about that?
I would love a scandinavia video, not just comparing the different languages and stuff, but hopefully you will look more into the many dialects and see how they compare and influences on them
