I love how they have animations of dead bodies for Putins rise to power, but they never do that for any American presidents. Let's talk about all the proxy wars, coups, and drone strikes they did. How come when they do videos about American politicians, they don't show piles of dead bodies?
1 thing. Please learn more about conflict in Chechnya. It's not just "Killing Putin's enemies". It's more complicated and Chechnya always was an aggressive region (Even now).
This whole video lacked nuance. Can't believe he actually went for the US election meddling narrative. I was like "uuuuuuh, can we get ANY citation for these claims at all? Please."

You and a lot of other people. It's not Russia or its people that are evil, it's Putin and his lackeys. My sister in law is from Russia and she is heart broken over what is happening now.
5:39 Anna Politkovskya was incredibly brave, she had friends that were already being killed before the state killed her. She knew the risks and carried on.
Well... maybe yes, but there are some controvercies. She, for example, denied genoside of Russians in Chechnya and, in general, was a person who we in Russia call liberasts or libtards with condemnation. besides, she had powerful enemies except Putin.
Well yeah... Lenin is to the USSR like George Washington is to the USA. If the USA collapsed less than 3 decades ago you'd still have former American citizens who would look up to George Washington, and I wouldn't be surprised if the next leaders of the "New USA" in this scenario would look up to the past founder as a benchmark aswell
You have very good timing when choosing topics. Well done Simple History. Keep on your great work. Edit: Some people in the comments have been mentioning that the war is on for over a month so they criticize me for praising SH for "good timing". Well, since the war has, unfortunately not ended yet I suppose the topic is still relevant. Moreover, stuff like this takes some time to make because they have to do the research, then animating, writing their script, recording etch.
The information here on many cases is incredibly one sided. I'm not pro russia, I'm just saying that when informing someone, objectivity should be a major standpoint
Yeah i used to think this channel was neutral and unbiased but now it became an extension of west media propaganda, many of the claims he does in the video like putin meddling in the u.s elections aren't even proven or are just pop media scandals only.
Fun fact, this video forgot to mention that Putin was so poor during his childhood he had to spend time killing rats all around where he lived. He cornered a rat and prepared to kill it on one occasion until the rodent suddenly lunged at him with enough ferocity to cause the boy to fall over and lose the rat. On that day, Putin realized that if something was cornered, whether animal or man, with nothing left to lose, it would become far more dangerous than ever just to fight for survival.
@@randomboi5225 Yeah, but very recent one ;p They usually stick to stuff under 2014. Even the videos that they do about 2000-2015 are not very common. Thats all I was saying. Yesterday history even happened. Shocking, I know.

Anyone notice how he walks it in the kgb book it’s because he keeps his right hand still while he walks so that he can draw his weapon faster it cool that they learn stuff like that.
Well "controversial" is one way of putting it that's for sure, especially since Simple History seems to have chosen to pedal the "Russian collusion"-narrative for which there is no direct evidence to be found. Trump won the 2016 election and Hillary with her army of sycophants are still not over it.
Putin admires socialist economic ideals, but also seems to be very orthodox and russian nationalist, so Russia rn is more closer to the Russian Empire than the USSR.
Putin is basically economic-system agnostic, however he originally felt when he was younger. His goal is power, and while the soviet-style system had a LOT of advantages in being able to consolidate power for a leader and also show power on the world stage, he has mastered control of information which works wonderfully in a capitalist society. Add in that capitalism ends up ultimately being an advantage economically, there is no reason for him to rock the boat. The oligarchic construction of society also ensures he doesn't have too many people he needs to befriend, bribe, or get rid of at the top who help him control everything. Soviet style socialism had way more party functionaries you had to please or dispose of and was cutthroat in a way that doesn't benefit him.
Russia is neither socialist nor nationalist, rather a kind of centrism with a more or less authoritarian bias that tries to connect the unconnected and the oligarchic economic system. Nationalism in Russia with an emphasis on the tsarist past, namely Russian, and social nationalism with the republics inside and the Soviet past atmosphere, disappeared in Russia somewhere in the early 2010s, when nationalist parties began to be eliminated, and marches were prohibited due to the strengthened article for "ethnic strife". Plus, based on who mainly votes for Putin (often they are called red conservatives, which are nostalgic for the USSR), the importation of migrants (even Russians who receive citizenship by family reunification, i.e. ethnic Russians who were scattered throughout the republics during the USSR, sometimes become citizens much-much slowly than working migrants from central Asia who decide to stay) as well as parasitism on the Soviet the term "friendship of peoples, strength in unity" and so on, plus the fear of the authorities of the separatism of the Caucasus (of which they turn a blind eye to what is happening there), does not allow us to call him a nationalist who, as an example, were even before the revolution.
Yes. I get sick of the media banging on about how he wants to restore the USSR. He doesn't. His vision for Russia is the Orthodox Holy Russia of before 1917, and it saddens me that the major news outlets and political figures are still stuck in this Cold War mindset.
Could you please do a video about bicycles used in the world wars? I'm sure the german Wehrmacht used them and there are many more armys which used bicycles in combat
4:30 Come on! Yeltsin's resign wasn't dubious! He became drinking too much alcohol at that time. It's actually entertaining to watch his public appearances. There were funny moments with Bill Clinton on the conference. During those moments you can notice he was drunk. The man clearly became unhealthy and he wasn't looking good. So his resign wasn't "dubious".
And he was eventually killed after getting poisoned, shot multiple times and thrown in a freezing river while his body was incinerated a few years later. However that was not really the case. It seems he didn't really die. It was what he wanted his rivals to think.
Ooh I'm glad this video exists by i had no idea who he is when the videos "I put a kick me sign on Putin" came out. For me, I think this is quite educational!
@@tenk548 do you know how many countries are now involved in this war? For now they are using only soft power to stop this war, but that will change as soon as Putin will raise the stakes. And he will) If we survive this war - in textbooks it will be WW3.
Yeah, we should support the 14k russians that died in 2014 by azov bataillon and ukraine being an idiot for not listening to putin warning them to not join NATO in 2021 for freal STOP defending ukraine, they did even badder stuff, Zelensky wants propaganda he's the new Hitler putin doesen't cares he's a real president

Yes my man!! You get it. Video stank absolutely stank.
And Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, SAIC, General Electric, etc. - just like western "journalism".
We all already know this video is going to be both interesting and controversial
Well "controversial" is one way of putting it that's for sure, especially since Simple History seems to have chosen to pedal the "Russian collusion"-narrative for which there is no direct evidence to be found. Trump won the 2016 election and Hillary with her army of sycophants are still not over it.
Why?
@@kevinf.1702 you know why

Who is Putin?
There are not enough words to explain his history and actions, but you come pretty close
Putin admires socialist economic ideals, but also seems to be very orthodox and russian nationalist, so Russia rn is more closer to the Russian Empire than the USSR.
Putin is basically economic-system agnostic, however he originally felt when he was younger. His goal is power, and while the soviet-style system had a LOT of advantages in being able to consolidate power for a leader and also show power on the world stage, he has mastered control of information which works wonderfully in a capitalist society. Add in that capitalism ends up ultimately being an advantage economically, there is no reason for him to rock the boat.
The oligarchic construction of society also ensures he doesn't have too many people he needs to befriend, bribe, or get rid of at the top who help him control everything. Soviet style socialism had way more party functionaries you had to please or dispose of and was cutthroat in a way that doesn't benefit him.
Russia is neither socialist nor nationalist, rather a kind of centrism with a more or less authoritarian bias that tries to connect the unconnected and the oligarchic economic system. Nationalism in Russia with an emphasis on the tsarist past, namely Russian, and social nationalism with the republics inside and the Soviet past atmosphere, disappeared in Russia somewhere in the early 2010s, when nationalist parties began to be eliminated, and marches were prohibited due to the strengthened article for "ethnic strife". Plus, based on who mainly votes for Putin (often they are called red conservatives, which are nostalgic for the USSR), the importation of migrants (even Russians who receive citizenship by family reunification, i.e. ethnic Russians who were scattered throughout the republics during the USSR, sometimes become citizens much-much slowly than working migrants from central Asia who decide to stay) as well as parasitism on the Soviet the term "friendship of peoples, strength in unity" and so on, plus the fear of the authorities of the separatism of the Caucasus (of which they turn a blind eye to what is happening there), does not allow us to call him a nationalist who, as an example, were even before the revolution.
Yes. I get sick of the media banging on about how he wants to restore the USSR. He doesn't. His vision for Russia is the Orthodox Holy Russia of before 1917, and it saddens me that the major news outlets and political figures are still stuck in this Cold War mindset.
That would be fascism.
He is just an oligarch...
Love this channel!
Same here
Same
When I saw the thumbnail of Putin on a horse shirtless, instantly thought of the Putin on a Ritz Meme.
Nice summary
Had the feeling that Ukraine was mentioned before the invasion back in February.
Love the accuracy of the thumbnail 😂
Could you please do a video about bicycles used in the world wars? I'm sure the german Wehrmacht used them and there are many more armys which used bicycles in combat

simple history ur animations are getting kool!
Fun-Fact: Vladimir Putins father was Joseph Stalin's personal Chef.
4:30
Come on! Yeltsin's resign wasn't dubious! He became drinking too much alcohol at that time. It's actually entertaining to watch his public appearances. There were funny moments with Bill Clinton on the conference. During those moments you can notice he was drunk. The man clearly became unhealthy and he wasn't looking good. So his resign wasn't "dubious".
Why you did not mention 2008 russo-georgian war?
Y'all seriously drank the election interference Kool aid? Lol wow
Me: don’t ask dumb questions
My friend:
Sheeesh, rudimentary 3D effects through your 2D animations. Loving the growth.
Legend says he once had very long hair and a very long beard and had "Ras" in his name
And he was eventually killed after getting poisoned, shot multiple times and thrown in a freezing river while his body was incinerated a few years later.
However that was not really the case. It seems he didn't really die. It was what he wanted his rivals to think.
The animations looks way better than previous!
the russian interfearance myth has been disproven several times
Sad propaganda is coming here as well
keep up the great and informative work
I like how all the windows look like male members🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For me, I think this is quite educational!
This man started WW3 on 24th February 2022.
Do you know what does that first W stand for.
@@tenk548 do you know how many countries are now involved in this war? For now they are using only soft power to stop this war, but that will change as soon as Putin will raise the stakes. And he will) If we survive this war - in textbooks it will be WW3.

Glad we now know who Putin is. That clears that up. Now I wish we could figure out who the unnamed hero was that donated 200 kidneys to the local hospital.
The kidney guy is probably Xi Jinping
@@MassachusettsTrainVideos1136 bing chilling
Kind of strange to put in conspiracy theories near the end in a video that's meant to be about facts.
We need another documentary about the corruption in Washington
That wouldn’t go well in the USA. The corruption is to bi-partisan for most people
It would require a series far longer than the one for the Napoleonic Wars...
At least you wouldn't get poisoned after watching it.
@@GonkJohan how do you know 🤷♂️

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!

Well he the president
As easy as that
There are many President, He couldn't be My President
Ukraine resist 🇺🇦✊
Yeah resist, nazis that killed 14k russians and then they tried to join NATO
It's both scary and interesting when simple history does a video about something this recent
That thumbnail
Is LEGENDARY
Never thought I'd see this on Simple History
5:50 well, she was definitely right
Even history channels started to pour light on this operation. Sooo, when can we get same for usa? I'd like to hear about Yugoslavia
Could you do a video about Naftali Bennet about his background?
Ah Russia. A total joke against smaller countries. No seriously they have a history of losing wars against much smaller countries. And in glorious fashion
