@@skyhappy race bait alert
but you right Ukraine does not deserve our help, they corrupt as all get out
Thanks for the link and for the video. I am curious though about one for a while now after seeing ten historical cities that were ruined. One was Warsaw I read that 90% or so of the cit pay was destroyed during ww2. Is it possible for you to make a video about its reconstruction after the war?
@@skyhappy cease your foolishness.
in 1992 My uncle bought a whole complete steel factory from Ukraine for just $120,000 and brought in to Turkey. The actual value of the factory was more than $10 million. After soviet collapse the whole Ukraine industry vanished in few years.
Yes and no. Our production lines was very close linked to other new country's. We produced what can be called old junk and with no experience how to upgrade or will to change( yes allot of directors of factory's don't want to try something new) well results was bad.....
My father wanted to buy a soviet submarine, bring it to Antalya and convert it for tourism but nato officials wouldn't allow it
@@Denis_Komarrov thats the results of communist regime. communist businesses and industries are notorious for their aversion of new tries, which is the essence of modern commerce.
in the 90s it was like buying a beer for a drunk dealing in Ukraine. It Show how they will sale there sole today and never care about tomorrow.
That's not something you should make public.
This is an amazing initiative. I am proud to be part of this collaboration and hoping we can make a little bit of a difference to some people’s lives.
The one-sided attention given to Ukraine while Afghanistan is in the midst of a looming famine is just disgusting. Prime example of how a white country is valued more than non white..
@@skyhappy not Russia not interesting
@@skyhappy stop doing this whataboutism crap. BOTH MATTER. nobody said they did not. i guarentee you can find thousands of sources covering the afghan food security if you actually look. some examples are from youtube, BBC news, reuters, ITV news, ABC news, CNN, the gravel institute, Euronews, France24 english, the intercept, ect. all of which have multiple videos and articles covering afghanistan. DO SOME BLOODY RESEARCH
this attention to Afghanistan while war in Sudan breaks out again is disgusting. We ignore African conflicts while giving attention to those of indo-european speakers 🤢
The joke was, Ukraine is the only modern country in which fraught their war of independent 30 years after gaining independent.
Not really , most former soviet countries suffer similar if not same fates.
@@ventsislav92makaveev I think you don't understand what he mean
Not sure if your comment is one of play or scuffle but the war right now is one of survival of the state and Ukrainian citizens within it and not independence. Ukraine had another murderous Kremlin demon do the same thing just by designed famine. ok I done I didn't know really what to make of your comment so assumed it was of a mocking nature so felt compelled to reply my opinion is all.
@@oO-_-_-_-Oo Golodomor was not only in Ukraine but also in Russia and Kazahstan. Main architects of it were Stalin and Beria and Kaganovich. None of them is Russian.
@@WP-cu2pf nice try, tovarisch. You forgot to mention the fact that these Russian lands were Ukrainian and German back then. These 3 nations were punished for being unloyal to Soviet Union. Unlike russians.
I pressed the bell button, but it asked me for a big bribe before promising to remind me of your future uploads.
Instead of paying the bribe, please make a donation here: donation.babynyar.org/en/
26:27 This was unexpected and hilarious.
Yes, so much for the excuse that Ukraine was joining NATO.
@@nicholasconder4703 It's a shame that people are such sheep they even thought that for a second. Like joining NATO is squarely a political decision.
@@nicholasconder4703 I think he's referring to Yanukovych getting walloped by a little tree.
@@robertshonk518It's not a tree, Its a funeral wreath (often used in Ukraine instead of funeral flowers). On cementary it's easy to see which tomb is fresh because you won't be able to see tomb itself under piles of these things
Great overview. seriously - many here in russia don't understand what you explained in mere half an hour
You should have mentioned the fact that Ukraine did also vote in a referendum to join the new Union of sovereign states that was proposed by Gorbachev. The USS would have been a reformed USSR with more autonomy and rights for the smaller states. This doesn't invalidate the independence referendum later or suggest that Ukraine wanted to stay united with Russia but it might suggest that the push to independence was not inevitable and that Yeltsin and the Hardlines with despite differing interests pushed things towards a certain destiny.
This is actually a huge detail that I don't think anyone ever talks about, which leads to a puzzled reaction as to why in March of 1991 Ukraine voted to preserve the USSR and in December it voted in the support of independence, which is frequently used by Russia in a greater narrative of not considering Ukraine a legitimate state (it was all rigged/staged by [insert someone you hate here]/your own version of why Ukraine is not a country). When in March the people of the Soviet Union were asked a question
"Do you consider necessary the preservation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal **sovereign** republics in which the rights and freedom of an individual of any ethnicity will be fully guaranteed?"
the question explicitly asked if you support Ukrainian sovereignty, which if you read the 1990 declaration essentially makes Ukraine independent in all but name, with independent economic policy, independent military, priority of the republican laws over the union ones etc. No wonder Ukrainians said Yes
@@mcs699 yeah, also true
Actually, this was made to look like there would be reformed USSR, just to trick Gorbachev to resign peacefully (who ended up the only person in soviet goverment with somewhat power) and dissolve the USSR officially.
In the end, even russian president have no interest in keeping USSR alive, and Yeltsin was for russia independence from USSR all along, not eveb be said about other countries like Ukraine and Belarus
@@CraftDayFriends Well what happened between March and December in 1991?
August, and the attempted coup.
For anyone who was alive then, and saw those grey figures of Yanayev's gang on TV it is really not surprising at all that any part of the Soviet Union that could easily/legally divorce itself from Moscow would choose to do so.

You should do a video on mass transit in the Soviet Union and transport and it’s infrastructure.
whatever.....
ITS*, not "it's infrastructure".
I have to mention that abstention was very high in Crimea. Actually, Russo-phones in Crimea, boycotted the referendum.
As a Ukrainian I can praise you for this content and confirm that all you said was quite accurate.
You haven’t yet talked about what happened between 2014 and 2022 with regards to Ukraine? What other events besides the fall of Viktor Yanukovich led to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?
I am Ukrainian. No more events actually. I think that maybe also because russia knew that new government will be much more pro-western.
Yeah, there seems to be a huge void in Western Media coverage of this particular 8yrs, but why?
Other than those "nasty Russians" turning up to "steal Crimea" from the Ukrainians, what else has been happening?
Oh yeah, and the two breakaway Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk doing just that, breaking away, like what ELSE has happened??
The dearth of information in the West is very telling, wouldn't you say??
USA/CIA happened and their Nationalists training camps.
@@OOpSjm That sounds like typical conspiracy nonsense to me, are you Russian by any chance?
Dude, it's the cold war, not 21st century events.
Thanks for including the wreath attack video!
Excellent to see this pivotal era covered.
The author also did not mention the Belavezha Accord, which officially ended the original Soviet Union Treaty, signed back in 1922.
Great initiative! As a Ukrainian i am deeply grateful to the all channels taking part in #ProjectUkraine
Europe is history's biggest family feud
If my memory is correct, the Maidan revolution was in 2013-2014. I was there.
About languages law by Yanukovych, he allowed the use of other than Ukraininan language for officials. The protests were about introducing the Russian language among officials and nothing to do with the use of language in private life.
Would you guys ever do a video about Harold Wilson and the rumored coups that could have happened?
Grateful for this Playlist! @Kings and Generals & Company!!
Please Next video on indo pak war of 1971
Best article of this playlist supporting the Ukrainian charity well done 👍
I really appreciate this episode ❤️
Very informative 👍
Looking forward to this Channel will discuss.
Vietnam Afghanistan Africa and Israel and the Arab and Afghanistan and the Middle East, also China and India Wars. Until the very end of the Cold War for the last war and the end, of what happened after that.
And the situation after the Cold War.
These are all the most impressive topics, that could be discussed about the Cold War.
About the wars between the Cold Wars!
This is the most iconic thing that can be discussed.
In connection with the Cold War!
What to discuss!
Wonder what deal Soviet Russia offered after 91'...
Because when you looked at Germany in the 70s with east & west. 5 different brands of coffee in the west but only 1 in the east...
An understandable but unfortunate mistake - George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush were not “Senior” and “Junior”. The only “Senior” and “Junior” in recent US History were Albert W. Gore Sr. (a segregationist) and Albert W. Gore Jr. Otherwise, excellent presentation as usual, David.
My grandma saved quite large amount of money (unfortunately don't remember how much, i'll edit comment if I visit my parents and don't forget to ask them) every month for 20 years in order to give them to my father once he get married. When he finally did, Soviet Union collapsed, money were worth nothing and when they received that money (they were moderately poor at the time) they were only able to buy only 2 boxes of matches, they cried a lot then. However nobody misses Soviet Union in my family.
As a Ukrainian, I'd say that better Cold War Ukrainian topic would be Petro Shelest. Man managed to be respected by both dissidents and communists. He was considered to be Ukrainian nationalist and Stalinist at the same time. I'd argue, that his policies towards economic sovereignty of UkrSSR had directly caused independence.
Another interesting topic is Dviykari - democratic faction of OUN, but it can be more obscure in English.
Excellent channel
There was a Referendum in Carpathia Ruthenia too (1991 Transcarpathian general regional referendum ) To get Autonomy from Ukraine but Kyjev rejected it.
Good. You can't just vote yourself out of a country to secede. Countries exist for a reason. You need consent from the entire country. Which makes South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Nagorno Karabakh, DPR, and LPR illegal states.
@@f-86zoomer37 WHAT about Kosovo !!! Now there is second biggest USA military base in Europe called Camp Bondsteel . In this corrupt mafia fake nonsense called kosovo...
@@f-86zoomer37 They didn't vote to secede, they voted to have autonomy. Something like US states have but even less than that.
@@WP-cu2pf they did vote to secede. The Hungarian areas attempted to join Hungary and have Hungary annex them. Just like we saw in Crimea.
@@f-86zoomer37 I'm not saying about them,I'm saying about Transcarpathia. Hungarians live on only on small part of Transcarpathia on border with HU. Meanwhile, Ukrainians/Rusyns in Transcarpathia voted to have autonomy but to remain in Ukraine.
When will we have a cold-war Ukraine episode during the Stalin-Khruschev era?
you forgot it being ruled by Lithuania
i can't believe we already jumped to the end of the cold war before we even got to the 1960s ripip this channel
lol j/k keep up the good work
Thank you for making this video.
Ukraine proclaimed its soveirnity a few days later after it was done so by the Russian Federation that also proclaimed its sovereignty from the Soviet Union. Please note this.
Yeah but Crimea had a lot of Russians because Stalin deported Tatars in Crimea in the 40s in boxcars in the dead of winter and sent them to Siberia and then brought in Russians. Same as they are doing now as they are kicking out Tatars and Ukrainians and bringing in Russians to Crimea
Also, a lot of Russians were brought into Ukraine after the Holodomor famine (Genocide). The Kulaks were sent to camps and there was noone left to tend to the fields or work in the mines

We learn so much more from this channel than most America mainstream news outlets
Statements from Russia about territorial integrity should be used as toilet paper
Viktor Yushchenko, also tried to honour and give veterans pensions to the Ukrainian Insurgent army that were collaborators with the Germans in WW2.
They were collaborators against the Soviets who were equally evil as the Nazi's.
Did ussr gave pensions to soldiers who along with Germany divided whole of east europe
@@ShubhamMishrabro Please rephrase that I don't know what you are trying to say
@@bretedwards2899 I would disagree. I think Stalin and Stalinism was totally awful and i don't want to defend them it was however minorly better the German Regime.

Cold War 2.0
SLAVA UKRAINI !
It seems that Crimea never belonged to Ukraine because of its inclinations towards Russia right from the beginning. Same is the case with Donbass
Donbas region, Putin planted weeds pro Russian separatist to destabilize Ukraine for his plan of invasion
Before Russia Crimea was belonged to many nations and countries so it doesn't matter what was in the past. Every invader tried to destroy or deport the former nation that inhabited the peninsula and settle the citizens of the invader country in the region.
@@Alex-kg1xh as per the previous videos, david mentioned that how after Stalin came to power, local language was crushed in favour of Russian language. This is the basic reason why there are pro-russian separatist which always oppose Ukrainian govt's decisions. This problem has its roots in Soviet Era. As per the current developments as well, Russia is finding it difficult to conquer those territories which are ruled by Ukrainians and not by separatist. They are the very reason for Russians successfully entering the Eastern border. Borders need the protection from Patriots and not seperatists. I can relate to this very well because here in India as well Kashmir has been the issue. But now union government is making sure that every seperatist voice is crushed. They pose severe security challenge to national borders. Hope after this war, Ukraine settle terms with this seperatists.
Fun fact: The more you learn about Ukraine, the more you understand the separatists and Russia.
Only if you’re braindead.
Eh... There is in video multiple times mentioned "but in east of Ukraine people was pro-russia and stuff" but i am as man from Zaporizhzhya (east Ukraine) would you say that situation there never that stimple in any way. And especially in Donbass.
@@Coole000 well, I am from Donetsk, and the more I discovered about Russia/Ukraine and their history, the more despise and loathe I felt towards Russia.
All it takes is just not to watch propaganda and to pay attention.
Btw, I was in Donetsk during Euro 2012, and I don’t remember any pro-russian moods.
@@digre3z I doubt anyone who would be Pro Russia would be coming out to Euro in any strong numbers and from what I understand it’s the older residents of Donetsk who are more Pro Russian

it's not accurate to say the EU rejected Ukraine to maintain Russian relations and natural gas imports. The EU genuinely didn't want to add 50 million really poor people to its population, or to have one of its largest member states be an insanely corrupt mess. people were still complaining about letting less poor, less corrupt, and less populous Bulgaria and Romania into the EU. Ukraine was rejected on its own lack of suitability for membership.
Back in the middle 2000’s Romania and Bulgaria were no better in terms of corruption than Ukraine, and the last one was also economically rising giving large promises (e.g. in 2006 inbound foreign investment was USD 1bn/ month). I hardly can say that Romania and Bulgaria economy boosted before joining the EU.
@@pwc_uk that's not the point, the point is that the EU didn't want a a corrupt large nation, it doesn't matter what the relative levels of poverty or corruption were. seriously, Germans are bitching about their own eastern provinces being a moneypit and you think they're gonna let in Ukraine?
@@perfectallycromulent Once again your argument is invalid - Romania and Bulgaria together bad 35 million, and Ukraine more than 15 years ago had less than 45 million, so this argument is invalid it terms of population. Also, these countries were so backward in terms of infrastructure comparing that within last 15 years they got astronomical subsidies. And the perspective of last 15 years demonstrate that Ukraine would not need such large subsidies into its infrastructure. So once again this argument is invalid. The main thing about the EU membership of the Balkans is that they are located slightly further away from Russia and the Kremlin did not protest against their EU integration. And you mentioned Germany - for people who use at least half of their brain Germany is known as the most corrupt Western country (does Germany really belong to the West? but that’s a topic for separate discussion). Germany is corrupt by Russians in terms of getting cheap resources from Russia in exchange for doing whatever the Kremlin wishes it to do from them in NATO, G7 and EU, as well as generally being pain in the ass of America in geopolitical terms. Two illustrative examples of Germany was corrupted by Russia with gas: when for example in 2008 Poland, Baltics, Ukraine bought gas at USD 350-480 per 1k sq m, Germany paid USD 175 per 1k sq m, and that was long time before the building Nord stream pipelines. Another historic example of how Germany was corrupted by Russia is from 2005: Schroeder, the German chancellor who did a lot for a monopolization of German gas market by Russians, immediately after his resignation got a top position at the board of the Russian largest gas corporation. Amazing, what a coincidence. Germany has never experienced such a robust economic growth in its entire history before establishing the scheme with Russians allowing to get cheap resources in return for their geopolitical decisions.
@@pwc_uk there's nothing bad about the argument. i am old enough to have read all the news about the EU since the 1980s. the EU didn't want *more* poor people. that is all. doesn't matter if they were from ukraine or the balkans or turkey, what mattered is whether germans and dutch thought they were gonna have to pay subsidies to those poor places.
@@pwc_uk you seem to be concerned about whether that argument was right or not. it doesn't matter, it prevailed, and ukraine was not admitted. it is all in the past. it's like arguing over Brexit, it's done. you can argue about the results of it and make some progress there.
Lviv was always the flower of the Ukrainian culture and patriotism! They have always been Central Europe.
Leonid Kravčuk was the nearby Rivne oblast, also fine Central Europe!
Lviv was also Polish until 1991, so yes Central Europe but not Ukrainian
@@SantomPh Really? Really?
@@SantomPh Lviv was founded in 1256 by Danylo Galytskiy, Galitia-Volnhynian prince who was also called as "King of Ruthenia(Rus)". Poland controlled Lviv in 1340-1792 and in 1919-1939, and city in this periods still had Ukrainians as a majority of the population(before WW2 numbers slightly changed to ~40% Ukrainians, ~40% - Poles and 15% Jews). Many famous Ukrainians was born and lived in Lviv. And this city never was fully Polish.
львов всегда был польским городом и построен львов поляками ) и на територии вокруг львова жили поляки и русины а не украинцы
украинцы во львове появились только после того как коренных жителей львова поляков после 1945 года советские власти выгнали из города
вот тогда во львов начали приезжать так называемые украинцы и селили их в домах и квартирах которые бесплатно отобрали у поляков
таким образом украинцы к львову не имеют вообще никакого отношения они там чужеродные цыгане и не более

Could you do the same with Kazakhstan and other former Soviet countries too, please?
I second this. Kazakhstan is uniquely fascinating and some focus could be on the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Semipalatinsk and nuclear history, Aral and Caspian seas, the capital, and the Silk Road both old and new.
Kazakhstan is considered the most modernised country in central Asia and compared to Russia from what I've heard. Nazarbaryev sending Kazahks to Western universities and successfully attracting foreign investment.
I once watched a documentary in which even a Kazakh human rights activist who criticised the president admitted that despite this he were a good president.

So to put it simply, corruption followed by corruption.Just finished Kings and generals video.
Ukraine had 52 million ppl in 1991 when it became independent. It had 41 milion including Donetsk and Lugansk republics in 2021(who had around 3,7 milion together). That's minus of 14 milion ppl in just 30 yrs due to emigration and low birth rate and politics. Meanwhile Russian population was 148 milion in 1989 and now is almost 147 milion.
I think similar to Russia demographics as a result of bad economic growth.

They sent in troops to invade Iraq. Now they know what it feels like to be invaded for questionable reasons.
What a wonderful documentary, especially loved the part where Janukovytš was assaulted by that ornamental spruce.

Also great cause for donations.

Perhaps the USSR should have made a slow transition to capitalism instead of falling apart. Their leaders should have used the Nordic countries as an example.
Yeah but neoliberals didn't want that
So proud to be part of #ProjectUkraine =) amazing videos by all the great content creators! 🇺🇦
It’s too bad Ukraine didn’t follow the rest of the former Soviet Union countries and joined NATO back then. If they had they wouldn’t be having problems with Russia right now.
Crimea was never tied to Ukraine. It was won over by Cathrine the great from the ottoman empire, and it was only part of Ukraine ssr and was not gifted to Ukraine. The people there don't have any deep ties to ukraine and if you believe in self determination you should believe in Russian crimea.
And yet Crimean Tatars who are the actual indigenous people of Crimea have said they want to be part of Ukraine not Russia but sure. The only reason Russians are there is because that imperialist shithole kicked out crimeans and put Russians there.
I would love to see more of these for all of the former Soviet Republics

Poland was the first country to officially acknowledge the independent Ukrainian state.
Actually there is an interesting fact about this: some scholars argue whether Poland or Canada was the first country as it happened at the same time but these countries are in different time zones.
What a really fun n interesting history Ukraine has had over the years. I hope it gets a bit more peaceful after the war is over. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Complicated history.
Also, in 1990-1991 as part of the Gorbachov Perestroika, there was an idea of restructuring the Soviet Union into something like a confederation know as the Novo-Ogaryovo process about the new Soviet Union Treaty. The whole process triggered the event know as the parade of sovereinties which include proclamation of sovereignty from the Soviet Union of all union republics including the Russian Federation.

I've watched many YT videos on East Europe, USSR, Baltics, Balkans, etc. over the past 3 years. Even though I lived through all of this, and it was reported in our USA media, I never fully understood what was going on until now.Thank You 'The Cold War' et al.

Ukraine is THE largest nation in Europe, NOT "ONE" of the largest
Oliver Stone's "Revealing Ukraine" documentary says Ukraine left the USSR with good industrial infrastructure that made them successful in the 1990's. Then the EU and US stepped in and slowly contracted the market they could sell their goods to, forcing them to buy the goods they used to make and driving them into debt, depression and social unrest.
Well... Infrastructure was good on paper but every man past 30 would say you that USSR mass-produced low-end shit that was also hard to obtain. In literally every industry from Electronics to Clothes.
USSR industry somehow managed to unable to manage inner demands without any real amount of exports...
When borders are opened to products much cheaper and available, industry just naturally collapsed in every instance where it couldn't compete with foreign ones
You think of Russia as having a rough time in the 90s, but it sounds like Ukraine may have had it even worse.
The big difference between the two countries is that Ukraine didn't let one bad decade dampen their desire for democracy and a civil society.
It’s insane how bad the post-Soviet economic collapse was

Wow - so close to NATO and EU membership except that Western Europe relied on energy from Russia and didn't want to make Moscow angry. A former US President warned Western Europe about reliance on Putin for energy.
And most of the wealth is in East Ukraine which is the land of the Ethnic Russians.
😂😅😂😅😂
It is thoroughly insane that post-Soviet people who were nostalgic for communism ever thoughtt that that Moscow government would ever be interested in restoring that system in any way. Putin practically worships the fascist philosopher Ivan Ilyin.
Everyone, what you're seeing transpire here is in alignment with the tactics of dictators as presented in a book titled "Spin Dictators" by Guriev.
