Yes and at the end, they will erase Russia from history and will make it that Ukraine was this Kievan Rus, then the grand duchies were Ukrainians nor Russians, but such thing as Ukrainian never existed in history nor in any history book or document post 1920, Ukraine was just a region.

Excellent job. I am a College History Professor, and enjoy your efforts. I would add that in general, this demonstrates a fact that I teach my students, that there isn’t some mystical moment when anyone can claim “our country was here.” It’s always tenuous and in flux. This is one reason why wars happen, sadly, but it is the truth. We do better to face the truth of our mutual nature as part of the human species, and then see if we can find other routes forward rather than war. But it can’t be “this was always our border” or “this was always our country.” Maybe the days of tribal peoples, connected by blood, small, localized and area of the need for friendly relationship with other peoples is a better path…but I don’t claim to know if it would work any better (certainly many wars throughout history between tribal peoples too). Anyway, very nice job on the video.
As a person who just read sometimes, and who spent many years in "ru-net", which is a russian-speaking internet, I'd say this war is all about dominance. It is primitive people feeling, when you can do whatever you want and nobody will accuse you. You break your neighbor down, you take his stuff, ruin his home, impregnate his wife, kill his children, erase any memory of his nation or history. And it feels good for a primitive organism. It looks like it's primitive biological behavior, creature behaviour, not human one. And deeply in some mind labyrinth I can even understand this. This is ancient hatred.
Also worth noting is the history of transcarpathian Ukraine, part of Czechoslokia until 1939, independent for a day or so before being annexed by Hungary, and finally being added to Ukrainian SSR in 1945 so Stalin could have a common border with Hungary and Czechoslovakia. The artist Andy Warhohl has his roots there.
I'm Ukrainian, and the fact that you even mentioned Green Ukraine is very impressive! I would probably only add the Rus Kingdom (Halych-Volyn' duchy), the Carpatho-Ukraine and Ukrainian Insurgency in ww2, though it's quite controversial (overall they were great fighters for freedom, but the things they did to poles are horrible)
Taking into consideration how he butchered Ukrainian history between 1320 and 1795 (and hence Polish-Lithuanian and Ukrainian relations) I do not have any hope in historical accuracy of any of his videos. The fact he did not even mention Holodomor while describing Ukrainian history is outrageous for me!
@@Hadar1991 he mentioned that he knows that he isn’t a expert nor is the purpose of the vid to make you one, idk if you finished the video but maybe pay attention to the words he says
@@lapisoreal1442 I know. But the fact he glanced over probably the most important event in Ukrainian history after 13th century, as if it never happened, makes me question his intention. Would you not question intentions of someone who made history of Jews history video and never mentioned "Holocaust"? For me it is just a step to far to claim just an ignorance. I can believe that butchering the history of Ukraine under Lithuanian/Polish rule may be just ignorance (although infuriating), missing Holodomor is just "WTF"...
Kievan Rus (862-1242) was a medieval political federation located in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine, and part of Russia (the latter named for the Rus, a Scandinavian people). The name Kievan Rus is a modern-day (19th century) designation but has the same meaning as 'land of the Rus,' which is how the region was known in the Middle Ages.
I feel the need for more insight from ukrainians on everything that it is happening. Is it more problematic to be one with Russia or to be under Putins control? I ask this because from very far away, ukrainians and russians seen realy similar to me ethnically and culturally. I even read some articles on etymology and sociology wich state that close to 50% of ukrainians learn russian at home as their first language and that both languages share a great share of their words so one can clearly understand the other. Sorry to bother with my curiosity and i hope everyone you care for is safe.
@@rafagunslinger If that’s the case, many nations would have that same issue. Austria with Germany would be first that comes to mind. Just because people are ethnically similar, doesn’t mean that independent state wants to be part of a larger country because of ethnic ties.
@@rafagunslinger On Ukrainian and Russian languages - the thing is, Ukrainians can easily understand Russian language, but it doesn't always work the other way. Ukrainian army even uses some unique ua words to test whether some person is a local or a Russian invader :D For example, one of these words is паляниця (palianytsia) - a loaf of bread. And believe me or not, russians really struggle pronouncing it because it contains sound combinations alien to their native language (like the hard o in po-, or the -tsia ending)
@@rafagunslinger Nonono its fine don't apologize and thank you. I will gladly answer your question. In 2014, Viktor Yanukovych got elected president to build ties with the EU. However, he instead brokered a deal with Russia which caused the Maidan Revolution. Yanukovych fled and it was all a mess. The Russian eastern parts of the country (Mykolaiv, Kherson, Odessa, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipro and Kharkiv) had pro-Russian protests and separatists declared independence in Luhansk, Donetsk and Kharkiv, althought the KPR (Kharkiv People's Republic) was later dissolved. Now, Russia recognizes these statelets and has supports from ~10 countries. Although you said ~50% of Ukrainians learn Russian, I believe they don't because I speak both Ukrainian and Russian and they are very similar languages. I would say the % of Ukrainian speakers would be around 75-80% and Russians, 25-20%. Also, both Ukrainians and Russians do have a similar culture and traditions, but they might have different political views. Hope that answered your question :)
@@yourfavukrainian thanks! Yes, sure. I ask this because where i live in Brazil we have a very diverse culture across our 27 federation unities, many of them a lot diferent from one another but everytime someone talks about emancipation people start saying that its a nazi ideology (and here sometimes pride and prejudice may walk together but its not always true). Brazil has kind of aligned itself with Russia but the people is clearly hoping for a peacefull end above all and hopefully that you all may have democratic and transparent governments away from types like Putin.
The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians. Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine, and we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land. We’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom and we’ll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪🏻
I almost married an Ukrainian with a 6 yr old beautiful child in 2004. Ukrainians are positive, hard working, talented, strong, liberated, inclusive, industrious, adventurous, food loving people. 🏖️🌺🌽🥩🥗🥧🍦🍰🍯🍻 Think about it.

They are very romantic, free spirited, happy people that don't want to be a part of depressing dictatorship. Ukraine is Ukraine.🌈🌞🏊🌾🐟🕊️

Nikita Khrushchev was also semi-Ukrainian(his parents from Donetsk region), he even ruled the Ukrainian SSR (Ukrainian Soviet Socialistic Republic) while Stalin was ruling the USSR.
Maybe it would be interesting: Stalin was Georgian, and Stalin is a pseudonym, his real last name was Jugashvili, Stalin is combination of steel(in Russian stal’) and a russian families’ ending ‘In’( like Putin, Panin, Lenin), Lenin is also a pseudonym, it’s combination of Lena(river in Russian) and the ending 😀

@@kabeerthehistorian7445Zelensky was chosen to distract people from the Nazi problem. “How can they be Nazis, their leader is a Jew” Seems to have worked on most people
I still remember Euro 2012 Poland & Ukraine. One the most colorful international football championship, after Brazil 2014. I remember also a comic of Donald Duck kids (in Croatia as Hinko, Vinko i Dinko) when plot was set to Kiev to stop robots football players and Panini purple album of stickers.
Well, I'm already experiencing war fatigue, but this video would have been far easier to like if the words weren't so rushed. I mean, I've been to many lectures, but never heard anything like this speed..
Towards the end you say Ukraine was united for the first time. But what was being united? I think you mean it finally took on its modern borders. In all a very useful and interesting video. But it's not clear from it why suddenly the eastern and southern parts of the region were declared part of a nation called Ukraine, when previously these hadn't been part of a Kievan Rus, and like the rest of the Ukraine region had changed hands many times, and even today these south and east areas, as far as I understand it, have different majority languages.
Russification was forcibly carried out in Ukraine. the same Donetsk, Luhansk were among the most Ukrainian-speaking regions. Ukrainians, who were previously called Rusyns. since the time of Rus' were one people. The Russians have nothing to do with Rus', they never lived in it. Their cities had their own languages and culture, and they themselves were tributaries and vassals of Rus'
So few things: After mongol invasion Moscow entered agreement and was taxing other rus' principalities and sending money to horde while taking a cut. After Lithuania and then Poland took over modern Ukraine and Belarus local nobility became polonised and catholic growing distant from population they rule, also serfdom wasn't a thing before that so people became worse of than before. Also cossack weren't just Ukrainian Orthodox they were people running away from unjust system they were living in. Rutheniana was recognized as regional language. Cossak used to fight for commonwealth, there was separate commander of cossack forces as there was polish and Lithuanian one. Ukrainians were fighting on polish side during polish-soviet war and didn't want to be part of USSR they were forced to and Poland didn't help their ally. And that is one of the causes some Ukrainians saw Germany as liberators.
in brief, ukranians wanted to be free and indipendent for 500 years but never won a war against their sovereign country, and only now with recent 30 years they got their freedom... even if for a short time, this is just bad luck...
@@perfectmazda3538 yeah… but I think Ukraine will have a good ending, because all the time Ukraine suffered, fought for independence not for nothing. After dark night sun rises up, so I hope everything will be okay this time
@@Salv2137 Yes, they were tricked, but it was still a fundamentally a rebellion against Poland. You presented a completely whitewashed history from Polands point of view. You forgot intense efforts by Poland to Polanize the Ukrainians over the years, and in the Russian civil war the Ukrainians were literally fighting Polish armies over control of Lviv while having to defend against the red army, and this is barely touching the tip of the iceberg.. Poland historically oppressed Ukraine nearly as much as Russia, and we should recognize it instead of trying to rewrite it with those Polish chauvinistic fairy tales.
Is this how you teach your students? By showing the video from UA-cam uploaded by some random blogger ? I would highly recomend to double check the info
@@mathijs8537 Vlad was a prince of Tara Romaneasca, he is a hero for the romanians, the attached word vampire to his name by foreigners it's offending his memory, he was a brave man who ruled a region of Romania's today. He was not more cruel than others at that time when, the only low was fear.
I am from Belarus and I wish Ukraine and the Ukrainian people only the very best. In a nightmare, I could not imagine what was happening now. Peace to all.
I belive that current events finally brought peace and reconciliation upon our nations. As Polish bishops wrote in letter to Germans in '65 "We forgive and ask for forgiveness" 🇺🇦🇵🇱 Слава Україні!
if you can forget about the "Valyn Massacre". You are a traitor, they have Bandera the national hero of Ukraine. He and others like him slaughtered 100,000 peaceful Poles, and they walk around with a portrait of this man and make heroes out of them. I will never forgive this, and if I see a Ukrainian with a portrait of Bandera in my city, I will not forgive him. I do not need such a world and remember. A person who does not remember his history has no future.
I have become quite interested in Ukraine over the last few months (and to an extent, I was interested in the country before the war begun!), and I found this informative! Although I agree that this isn't exactly complete, it at least gave me an idea of where to begin. Thanks for the video! Also, nice pronunciation of "Leonid" at 10:09!
@@peterszilagyi1405 as well as polish authorities were murdering ukrainians for being themselves for centuries, but we are human beings and we need to forgive each other and learn history to stop repeating those monstruos parts of our past.
Glossing over the Galicia and Banderra Factions that currently seek a restoration of that portion of Ukraine's History, seems to exclude an important element? Moving fast seems to be the important element in overlooking the influences of history.... Galicia seems to have been an important part that deserves more mention....
So Ukraine for the longest of times was never its own nation but being occupied by other kingdoms and when it finally became independent it couldn't stand on its own weakened sovereignty. So they went to Russia for help which lead to them eventually merging. Ukraine is a very young country still learning its independence.
It's depends on how you look at this. Been fighting for independence for a 1000 years actually means being strong nation. For example Jewish people are great in fighting for Israel. And so does many nation's. Ukrainians are also great fighting for they Homeland- Motherland Україна Ukraine ♥️🇺🇦🌞
"Went for help"? Ukraine stayed away from that treacherous state as long as it could. It concluded a security agreement( Pereyaslav Agreement) with Muscovy only in 1654, as a last resort to protect against Poland. Muscovy, instead, very quickly betrayed the agreement, concluded a "peace" deal with Poland whereby Ukraine was split between Poland and Muscovy. No original copy of the Agreement exists only a non original "copy" of it in Russian. It was highly controversial because Ukrainians believe that it was not a merger as the Russians later claimed.
Why are so many people (Brits I'm looking at you) saying Chernobyl as share-nobyl instead of chair-nobyl, which it is in either Russian or Ukrainian? This was one of the most important events in the 20th Century and was clearly pronounced quite often.
Good question! In the 1980s, most newsreaders in the UK had what is called an “RP” accent which pronounces “ctche” sounds as “scher”. It stuck and we’ve never looked back.
In Ukrainian, It is pronounced "Chornobeel" and means Wormwood. “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter” Revelation 8:10-11.
As a Ukrainian, I would like to make a few amendments. First, the state of Kievan Rus never existed, this name was invented by so-called Russian historians, in fact, that state was simply called Rus, second, Rurik is a mythological character, his existence has never been confirmed, and third, I want to draw attention to the fact that the name of Volodymyr the Great was spelled incorrectly in the video.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Rurik was invited to reign in Novgorod/Ladoga (Modern Russia) not Kiev, Askold and Dir who were the part of Rurik's army seized the power over Kiev while traveling to Constantinople and started to reign there. So basically Rurik's dynasty (~862-1612) started in Novgorod/Ladoga not Kiev. A few centuries later Oleg of Novgorod seized the power over Kiev and moved the capital from Novgorod to Kiev. And that's how it started.
@@oblakevychd that's true Novgorod itself didn't exist as a city but there were different settlements of Slavic tribes. One of them (named Rurikovo Gorodische) became the place where Rurik was invited to reign. Over the centuries this place and settlements around it grew in what we know now as Novgorod.
@@paulmorgan5758 so if a village called, according to legend, the Norman to rule, what is Rus' and Kyiv, which was a big city, has to do with that? Don't you think that this legend is implausible to say the least?
@@oblakevychd Do not quite got your point. but you are right that Kiev has nothing to do with that. Rurik was invited by Ilmen Slavs, Krivichis, Chud and Ves' tribes. These tribes never lived anywhere near Kiev. They inhabited the Northern territories. So I guess the answer is obvious
Thanks for the documentary..The region had been mostly dominated by Turkic groups for the long periods of history ... Namely Huns, Uz, Pecenechs, Bulgars, Kazaks, Khazars, Kumans, Kıpchas, Tatars, then Ottomans have Turkic ethnic groups..But Putin did not mention about this while talking about the region. Putin admitted the fact that whenever any Turkic group claims this region in the future, Russian should hand those soils to Turks :p
He missed and butchered so much things... He did not mention HOLODOMOR while describing Ukrainian history!!! That is disgrace. And the fact how he described 1320-1795 in Ukrainian history and it relations with Commonwealth just gives me chills... As if he had only Russian propaganda sources available...
_Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:_ _Rus' ought not to be confused with modern “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 the 18th century, when Peter I simply changed Muscovy’s name into the “All Russian Empire” (Russia originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Rus')_ _Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even punished for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and were forced to call themselves Russian._ _Lands that Russia (Muscovy) 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, Muscovite duke 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 (Muscovite) historians have been trying to say for years. A Slavicised Finnic, then later, Mongolized offshoot. Kyiv 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 (Muscovy) did in regards to Rus'-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!_
Are there any other interesting parts of Ukraine's history I missed?

Excellent job. I am a College History Professor, and enjoy your efforts. I would add that in general, this demonstrates a fact that I teach my students, that there isn’t some mystical moment when anyone can claim “our country was here.” It’s always tenuous and in flux. This is one reason why wars happen, sadly, but it is the truth. We do better to face the truth of our mutual nature as part of the human species, and then see if we can find other routes forward rather than war. But it can’t be “this was always our border” or “this was always our country.” Maybe the days of tribal peoples, connected by blood, small, localized and area of the need for friendly relationship with other peoples is a better path…but I don’t claim to know if it would work any better (certainly many wars throughout history between tribal peoples too). Anyway, very nice job on the video.
Більшість воєн відбувались між імперіями,які ігнорували права народів й націй.
As a person who just read sometimes, and who spent many years in "ru-net", which is a russian-speaking internet, I'd say this war is all about dominance. It is primitive people feeling, when you can do whatever you want and nobody will accuse you. You break your neighbor down, you take his stuff, ruin his home, impregnate his wife, kill his children, erase any memory of his nation or history. And it feels good for a primitive organism. It looks like it's primitive biological behavior, creature behaviour, not human one. And deeply in some mind labyrinth I can even understand this. This is ancient hatred.
as a history student I can confirm kyivan rus isn't Ukraine Ukraine comes from zaporizhian Cossacks
Also worth noting is the history of transcarpathian Ukraine, part of Czechoslokia until 1939, independent for a day or so before being annexed by Hungary, and finally being added to Ukrainian SSR in 1945 so Stalin could have a common border with Hungary and Czechoslovakia. The artist Andy Warhohl has his roots there.
Another famous person from Transcarpathian Ruthenia was Robert Maxwell.
I'm Ukrainian, and the fact that you even mentioned Green Ukraine is very impressive! I would probably only add the Rus Kingdom (Halych-Volyn' duchy), the Carpatho-Ukraine and Ukrainian Insurgency in ww2, though it's quite controversial (overall they were great fighters for freedom, but the things they did to poles are horrible)
they were nazi thugs, most Ukrainians fought in the Glorious Red Amry that save the world, they are a true heroes
@@tingleblade4274 I see that you are subscribed to Shariy. I won't even argue with you then, you are already brainwashed.
Since you're at it i would like you to also cover a brief history of georgia.
Never knew about the Cossack Hetmanate in the 15-1600s! Wow. Do Poland next please. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
Ukrainian cossacks were actually quite a feared army in the Eastern Europe at the time :)
Taking into consideration how he butchered Ukrainian history between 1320 and 1795 (and hence Polish-Lithuanian and Ukrainian relations) I do not have any hope in historical accuracy of any of his videos. The fact he did not even mention Holodomor while describing Ukrainian history is outrageous for me!
@@Hadar1991 he mentioned that he knows that he isn’t a expert nor is the purpose of the vid to make you one, idk if you finished the video but maybe pay attention to the words he says
@@lapisoreal1442 I know. But the fact he glanced over probably the most important event in Ukrainian history after 13th century, as if it never happened, makes me question his intention. Would you not question intentions of someone who made history of Jews history video and never mentioned "Holocaust"? For me it is just a step to far to claim just an ignorance.
I can believe that butchering the history of Ukraine under Lithuanian/Polish rule may be just ignorance (although infuriating), missing Holodomor is just "WTF"...
@@ynokenty They loved killing Jews, some of the worst pogroms were by Cossack's.
Kievan Rus (862-1242) was a medieval political federation located in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine, and part of Russia (the latter named for the Rus, a Scandinavian people). The name Kievan Rus is a modern-day (19th century) designation but has the same meaning as 'land of the Rus,' which is how the region was known in the Middle Ages.
I'm Ukrainian and I feel as this video is very accurate! Thank you!
I feel the need for more insight from ukrainians on everything that it is happening. Is it more problematic to be one with Russia or to be under Putins control? I ask this because from very far away, ukrainians and russians seen realy similar to me ethnically and culturally. I even read some articles on etymology and sociology wich state that close to 50% of ukrainians learn russian at home as their first language and that both languages share a great share of their words so one can clearly understand the other. Sorry to bother with my curiosity and i hope everyone you care for is safe.
@@rafagunslinger If that’s the case, many nations would have that same issue. Austria with Germany would be first that comes to mind. Just because people are ethnically similar, doesn’t mean that independent state wants to be part of a larger country because of ethnic ties.
@@rafagunslinger On Ukrainian and Russian languages - the thing is, Ukrainians can easily understand Russian language, but it doesn't always work the other way. Ukrainian army even uses some unique ua words to test whether some person is a local or a Russian invader :D
For example, one of these words is паляниця (palianytsia) - a loaf of bread. And believe me or not, russians really struggle pronouncing it because it contains sound combinations alien to their native language (like the hard o in po-, or the -tsia ending)
@@rafagunslinger Nonono its fine don't apologize and thank you. I will gladly answer your question. In 2014, Viktor Yanukovych got elected president to build ties with the EU. However, he instead brokered a deal with Russia which caused the Maidan Revolution. Yanukovych fled and it was all a mess. The Russian eastern parts of the country (Mykolaiv, Kherson, Odessa, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipro and Kharkiv) had pro-Russian protests and separatists declared independence in Luhansk, Donetsk and Kharkiv, althought the KPR (Kharkiv People's Republic) was later dissolved. Now, Russia recognizes these statelets and has supports from ~10 countries. Although you said ~50% of Ukrainians learn Russian, I believe they don't because I speak both Ukrainian and Russian and they are very similar languages. I would say the % of Ukrainian speakers would be around 75-80% and Russians, 25-20%. Also, both Ukrainians and Russians do have a similar culture and traditions, but they might have different political views. Hope that answered your question :)
@@yourfavukrainian thanks! Yes, sure. I ask this because where i live in Brazil we have a very diverse culture across our 27 federation unities, many of them a lot diferent from one another but everytime someone talks about emancipation people start saying that its a nazi ideology (and here sometimes pride and prejudice may walk together but its not always true). Brazil has kind of aligned itself with Russia but the people is clearly hoping for a peacefull end above all and hopefully that you all may have democratic and transparent governments away from types like Putin.
Great video, but why wasn't Volyn- Halych mentioned ?

@@rickyrodriguez6131 It's young only in terms of a *sovereign country*, however the people that lives here has self-determination that's centuries deep.
Ukraine wasn't lucky enough to not being placed between Europe, Russia, Asia etc. so this land always had a strategic meaning to either side. Thus the nation was suppressed by the neighbours because there were too much people to fight against all the time.

Nikita Khrushchev was also semi-Ukrainian(his parents from Donetsk region), he even ruled the Ukrainian SSR (Ukrainian Soviet Socialistic Republic) while Stalin was ruling the USSR.
He was Ukrainian not semi Ukrainian
I didn't know that! Cool!
Maybe it would be interesting: Stalin was Georgian, and Stalin is a pseudonym, his real last name was Jugashvili, Stalin is combination of steel(in Russian stal’) and a russian families’ ending ‘In’( like Putin, Panin, Lenin), Lenin is also a pseudonym, it’s combination of Lena(river in Russian) and the ending 😀

hey general knowledge, can you please give me the source of the map you use at 2:24 & 2:43? if it's not too much of a bother, of course.
Towards the end you say Ukraine was united for the first time. But what was being united? I think you mean it finally took on its modern borders. In all a very useful and interesting video. But it's not clear from it why suddenly the eastern and southern parts of the region were declared part of a nation called Ukraine, when previously these hadn't been part of a Kievan Rus, and like the rest of the Ukraine region had changed hands many times, and even today these south and east areas, as far as I understand it, have different majority languages.
Russification was forcibly carried out in Ukraine. the same Donetsk, Luhansk were among the most Ukrainian-speaking regions. Ukrainians, who were previously called Rusyns. since the time of Rus' were one people. The Russians have nothing to do with Rus', they never lived in it. Their cities had their own languages and culture, and they themselves were tributaries and vassals of Rus'
2:55 you are talking about the Mongol invasion time using a present day map. Shouldn't you use contemporary map?
I was hoping at least a small footnote about Makhnovia, but I too only heard about it through memes 😅
You mean the anarchist "country" led by Machno? Badass)
What is the song at 9:04? I’ve been trying to find it for two years.
So few things:
After mongol invasion Moscow entered agreement and was taxing other rus' principalities and sending money to horde while taking a cut.
After Lithuania and then Poland took over modern Ukraine and Belarus local nobility became polonised and catholic growing distant from population they rule, also serfdom wasn't a thing before that so people became worse of than before. Also cossack weren't just Ukrainian Orthodox they were people running away from unjust system they were living in. Rutheniana was recognized as regional language. Cossak used to fight for commonwealth, there was separate commander of cossack forces as there was polish and Lithuanian one. Ukrainians were fighting on polish side during polish-soviet war and didn't want to be part of USSR they were forced to and Poland didn't help their ally. And that is one of the causes some Ukrainians saw Germany as liberators.
in brief, ukranians wanted to be free and indipendent for 500 years but never won a war against their sovereign country, and only now with recent 30 years they got their freedom... even if for a short time, this is just bad luck...
@@perfectmazda3538 yeah… but I think Ukraine will have a good ending, because all the time Ukraine suffered, fought for independence not for nothing. After dark night sun rises up, so I hope everything will be okay this time
Thats not the complete history, Ukraine had a big anti-Polish rebellion under Chmelnitsky where they eventually sided with Russia
@@MrKakibuy they sided to get independence and were tricked.
@@Salv2137 Yes, they were tricked, but it was still a fundamentally a rebellion against Poland. You presented a completely whitewashed history from Polands point of view. You forgot intense efforts by Poland to Polanize the Ukrainians over the years, and in the Russian civil war the Ukrainians were literally fighting Polish armies over control of Lviv while having to defend against the red army, and this is barely touching the tip of the iceberg.. Poland historically oppressed Ukraine nearly as much as Russia, and we should recognize it instead of trying to rewrite it with those Polish chauvinistic fairy tales.

He and others like him slaughtered 100,000 peaceful Poles, and they walk around with a portrait of this man and make heroes out of them.

So Ukraine for the longest of times was never its own nation but being occupied by other kingdoms and when it finally became independent it couldn't stand on its own weakened sovereignty. So they went to Russia for help which lead to them eventually merging. Ukraine is a very young country still learning its independence.

"Went for help"? Ukraine stayed away from that treacherous state as long as it could. It concluded a security agreement( Pereyaslav Agreement) with Muscovy only in 1654, as a last resort to protect against Poland. Muscovy, instead, very quickly betrayed the agreement, concluded a "peace" deal with Poland whereby Ukraine was split between Poland and Muscovy. No original copy of the Agreement exists only a non original "copy" of it in Russian. It was highly controversial because Ukrainians believe that it was not a merger as the Russians later claimed.
Thank you for video from Kyiv, Ukraine 💙💛

Why are so many people (Brits I'm looking at you) saying Chernobyl as share-nobyl instead of chair-nobyl, which it is in either Russian or Ukrainian? This was one of the most important events in the 20th Century and was clearly pronounced quite often.
Good luck teaching the Brits how to pronounce letters like š, č, ć, etc.
Yeah this guy is always butchering non English words. I feel like he does it much more often than other English speakers
Good question! In the 1980s, most newsreaders in the UK had what is called an “RP” accent which pronounces “ctche” sounds as “scher”. It stuck and we’ve never looked back.
In Ukrainian, It is pronounced "Chornobeel" and means Wormwood.
“The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter” Revelation 8:10-11.

Actually right UA version - Kyiv, Kyivan Rus. Kiev is the Russian version

Who the fuck (except for ukrainians) can pronounce 'Kyiv' ? It's like Turkey demanding to be called Turkiye. Ridiculous.
@@iorreneft Ukrainian words can't be pronounced only by Russians
@@tresandroid5705 I speak romanian, in my language we say 'Kiev'. I don't even know how to pronounce 'Kyiv'. Kiiv ?
As a Ukrainian, I would like to make a few amendments. First, the state of Kievan Rus never existed, this name was invented by so-called Russian historians, in fact, that state was simply called Rus, second, Rurik is a mythological character, his existence has never been confirmed, and third, I want to draw attention to the fact that the name of Volodymyr the Great was spelled incorrectly in the video.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Rurik was invited to reign in Novgorod/Ladoga (Modern Russia) not Kiev, Askold and Dir who were the part of Rurik's army seized the power over Kiev while traveling to Constantinople and started to reign there. So basically Rurik's dynasty (~862-1612) started in Novgorod/Ladoga not Kiev. A few centuries later Oleg of Novgorod seized the power over Kiev and moved the capital from Novgorod to Kiev. And that's how it started.
How is that possible if Novgorod was founded around 930-50 and Ladoga didn't exist at that time? Literally no archeological evidences for that myth
@@oblakevychd that's true Novgorod itself didn't exist as a city but there were different settlements of Slavic tribes. One of them (named Rurikovo Gorodische) became the place where Rurik was invited to reign. Over the centuries this place and settlements around it grew in what we know now as Novgorod.
@@paulmorgan5758 so if a village called, according to legend, the Norman to rule, what is Rus' and Kyiv, which was a big city, has to do with that? Don't you think that this legend is implausible to say the least?
@@oblakevychd Do not quite got your point. but you are right that Kiev has nothing to do with that. Rurik was invited by Ilmen Slavs, Krivichis, Chud and Ves' tribes. These tribes never lived anywhere near Kiev. They inhabited the Northern territories. So I guess the answer is obvious
Anyways he is the mythical character

_Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:_
_Rus' ought not to be confused with modern “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 the 18th century, when Peter I simply changed Muscovy’s name into the “All Russian Empire” (Russia originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Rus')_
_Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even punished for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and were forced to call themselves Russian._
_Lands that Russia (Muscovy) 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, Muscovite duke 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 (Muscovite) historians have been trying to say for years. A Slavicised Finnic, then later, Mongolized offshoot. Kyiv 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 (Muscovy) did in regards to Rus'-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!_
