  • I recorded this video after Vladimir Putin delivered his February 21 speech denying the historical validity of Ukraine, a clear pretext to the invasion that began a few hours ago. This brief video provides a survey of the long Jewish presence in the region, framed in the context of maps: political, ethnolinguistic, military and social.

    No real history. The Jewish was in all country when they immigrated from middle East ( there is not their territory ) And in 1939 the secret accord Molotov-Ribentrof between Germain and Russia they take many territories from Romania and gave to Ucrainei ( now there are 500 000 Romanians who lives in west part of Ucraina ) , also the parts of Hungary and Poland were gave to Ucrainei. And in the East there are territory from Russia with Russian people who lives there. All these minorities populations don't have the the elementary human being rights to learn their maternal languages in the school , to use their languages in administrations and to keep theirs traditions.... For this reason Ucraina is not recognized by United Nations because there are problems with their frontiers ( not recognized by the neighbors ) . In Kiev was the beginning of Russian knezat. After the capital of Russia moved in Moscow. The ucrIniens speak a dialect of Russian language. They are brothers. But ucrIniens have many hate for all is not ucrainian. For this reason they was more nazy than Germans in second war. Now she must be choice to be neutral because it was Minsk accord where Russia don't want NATO near her. It is like Cuba problem in the past ...

      From what I've seen in the press there's been a rise of Neo Nazis in Ukraine (Azov battalion. Plenty of photographs and videos about them online and their military involvement) which has roots from WW2 Nazi regime in Ukraine.
      In a media video of protests in Ukraine they even showed a Mayor leading the protest (you wouldn't think anything about it until you research who the person is) who is know to support Adolf Hitler as reported in Jewish media World Jewish Congress, Jewish Post, Times of Israel and Kyiv Post. The video footage is on most MSM channels of the protest in recent days. Here is a quote from one article about him and his party
      "Anti-Semitic politician beaten in Ukraine
      Former Konotop mayor Artem Semenikhin is known for his neo-Nazi views
      A far-right politician belonging to the anti-Semitic Svoboda party was severely beaten in Ukraine last Thursday in an attack his supporters are blaming on political rivals seeking an advantage ahead of the post-Soviet republic’s upcoming parliamentary elections.
      According to The Kyiv Post, former Konotop mayor Artem Semenikhin was jumped by several unidentified assailants at 1 a.m. on Thursday and is currently under police guard and in critical condition.
      In a post on Facebook, Svoboda party head Oleh Tyahnybok - an outspoken anti-Semite who has previous claimed that a “Russian-Jewish mafia” had taken over Ukraine - called the attack a “political assault” and demanded that “law enforcement agencies carry out an objective and prompt investigation of this crime and punish the perpetrators.” Times of Israel/Kyiv Post

    Im sorry but your history on the Cossacks, unfortunately like with a lot of historians who dont pay enough attention to the complexity of the topic, consists largely of myths that are propagated by a russian colonial type history of misrepresentation of their story. The most important thing to point out here is that the Cossacks were not a "band of freed serfs and adventurers" and so on, but mainly an ethnic sub-group within Ukraine that was at the same time multiculturally open to newcomers and so on. They had a unique military-democratic political system and the first european constitution was written there (google it). Another fact that goes down in the broader historical discussion thanks to the neglect of their story in their colonial context. You as well haven't even mentioned the Zaporozian Host as one of the major historical states in Ukraine in your introduction, which was not a "quasi military cowboy like encampment", but a political entity with a permanent population, military and a functioning elected bureaucracy. The painting you are showing is a product of 19th century european political romanticism.
    ...Also you are pointing out the allegiance of Khmelnytski with Moskow as a kind of "pro-russian turning point" of the Zaporozian Host, but the Cossack state(s) changed allegiances several times in the following years, from Moskow to Poland to the Krimeans, the Swedes and so on. So just a massive misrepresentation on your side, what can I say.

I am particullarily interested in the develoment of the stat of Novogorod in to Vetje as part of current Sweden and Finland and its exstinction. Lets pray for the best of days ahead after a hopefully long term sustainable resolution of the current situation also including the return of Konstantinopel and Haga Sofia as a ortodox Christian Church. After all, St Anna of Novogorod is not only a Swedish Princess, gross furstinna of Kiev and Novogorod, bu also Swedens first saint. She and her husband rests in th Haga Sofia replica in Kiev.

    I also want to thank you for this and your many, many wonderful videos on Jewish history. I can’t even begin to quantify how much I’ve learned from you. My father was born in Kiev in 1910 and left with his mother when he was 12. His parents were from Chernigov, north and east of Kiev, on the right side of Dnieper River, which if I remember correctly you said less Jews lived. Anyway, do you have or can direct me to information about Jews in Chernigov. If you have a chance to respond thank you, I’m sure you are very busy.

      @Orbán Viktor Mihály Did you know that, pro-rata, the highest number of Jews being betrayed to the Nazis in WW2 occurred in The Netherlands? Do you know how many Jews were rounded up by the French, the Austrians, the Hungarians and so on? No-one is suggesting that the Ukrainians were or are all angelic, and given that Dr Abramson's lecture only lasted 35 minutes and covered many centuries, it is hardly surprising that not every tragedy was covered in detail.

      The long presence of Jews in the Central European region does not mean that they are Jewish lands.
      History tells us that the Jews come from the Middle East and that their Promised Land, their home, is in the Middle East.
      Central Europe does not belong to Jews.

      @@Peter-the-Egyptian my friend your statement is somewhat of the definition of an “oxymoronic” one.. please don’t get me wrong as I’m not being patronising nor do I mean to be rude.. YAHUWH knows my heart.
      But if the whole world should be “grateful” to the “Jewish people” for keeping the Torah, Midrash, Talmud and Gamarah, etc., then by the very definition of the word “Jewish” which you use, what or who is a “Jew”? Or what makes a “people” “Jewish”?
      For example.. ALL “Israelites” are NOT “Jews”. But ALL “Jews” ARE “Israelites”. So which is it that you are referring to as”Jewish People”?
      Because YAHUWH made a Covenant with His people, Israel, by giving them HIS TORAH (NOT the Talmud, or Midrash or Gamarra, these of which were referenced to by YaHshua as KEEPING the “TRADITIONS OF MEN”) to the “Israelites” at Mt Sinai to distinguish HIS people from the Nations/Gentiles. The Oracles of YAHUWH were given to Moses to be handed down from generation to generation so as to PRESERVE the Torah of YAHUWH to ALL the Nations who sought to join themselves to Israel.
      However, and very Sadly indeed, what we have TODAY, is NOT the case.. at all. Instead we have “Syncretism”. A MIXTURE of Talmudic and Rabbinical “Judaism” mixed with Eastern Orthodox Christianity which is NEITHER “Jewish”, NOR is it “TORAH”… but is one that is a mixture of a “MAN MADE RELIGION”.. with the DOCTRINES AND THE TRADITIONS OF MEN..
      IT IS THE YAHUDI (Judah) or the JEWS, who HATE their brothers ISRAEL..(Ephraim and Manasseh) who were dispersed and scattered amongst the nations because of their idolatry of course, and whom NEVER returned to Israel as some of the “JEWS” (house of Judah) did..
      BUT make NO MISTAKE my friend, that those same “Jews” that returned to Jerusalem after the captivity into Babylon, are NOT THE SAME “JEWS” that OCCUPY THE LAND OF ISRAEL TODAY.. (May 14th 1948 Zionists “Jews”)
      THE KHAZZARS AND THE NAZZI “JEWS” ARE NOT OF THE TRUE SONS OF THE ISRAELITES (children of Jacob) but these are the sons of ISHMAEL AND EASSAU (Jacobs twin brother) who INTERMARRIED and whom are the so called “ARABS” today. The “Arabs” today, cannot, as in “impossible” to, trace their blood line back to ISHMAEL..
      These are the same people who crossed over the Jordan and inhabited Jerusalem (West Bank) when Judah (the house of Judah or the true JEWS) were taken into captivity into Babylon. These are the same people whom ALL the HERODS of YaHshua’s day, are from, and who beheaded John The baptist, who ordered the killings of the babes under two years of age, and who finally killed our messiah, YaHshua.. these same people were forced to convert to Judaism, or be killed, by the Romans when ROME conquered Jerusalem...
      THESE ARE THOSE WHO ARE OF THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN WHO SAY THEY ARE JEWS, BUT ARE NOT.. Rev 2:9 , 3:9
      IN ALEXANDRIA IN ABOUT 285 BC THE TORAH was translated into GREEK.. by 72 Rabbinical Jewish scholars. who although they did everything they could to preserve the TORAH from the “GOYIM” (the gentiles who were not worthy to receive the oracles of YAHUWH in THEIR opinion) also corrupted the Torah by removing THE NAME OF YAHUWH, and so by BLOTTING HIS NAME OUT FOREVER.. substituting THE HOLY NAME FOR THE BAALs and ASTHOROTH the gods of the Sydonians and Babylonians..

    Poles and Russians are both Slavic, as are Ukrainians. The Slavic peoples all have a common origin. The Slavs are differentiated largely by religion and culture, usually imposed by outsiders, so in other words, what separates the Slavs largely served/serves the political interests of non-Slavs. People like you need to STOP telling Slavs who they are. We damn well know who we are.

    I thought Ukrainian was written in the latin alphabet. That was a distinction told me by an American-Ukrainian, so you know.......
    Also, there's this tendency I've noticed to use, for lack of a better description, a Latvian spelling when yiddish is translated into the written roman alphabet, with it's ambiguous use of letters Y, J, substituting for I and E and Z for S, as opposed to what I think is the better because it's phonetic, germanic spelling. Maybe the question answers itself? Any ideas about this? Also, did Sholem Aleichem write his yiddish in hebrew or latin letters?

    Thanks for this timely and informative presentation. Toward the end you referred to 40,000 Jewish residents in Ukraine. I've been following news on ILTV & I24 which are English channels from Israel. I've heard them refer to 200,000 people eligible for return to Israel. Is that because they include non-Jewish spouses, children, and relatives?

      Popular news media says whatever they want. Census and immigration statistics say another. It can sometimes be assumed that official statistics might under-represent actual populations. Numbers like this always differ, depending on who is doing the counting and who is gathering the data and how. (*And in this case, who is responsible for relaying the numbers to the public.) You can do your own research and consult various sources. I assume Dr. Abramson would probably be more likely to seek out official statistics than some TV entertainment news station. I trust Dr. Abramson considerably more than just about anything to be found on TV, the least of which would be the popular media.
