A note on 'Ivan the Terrible' - in Russia Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный', meaning 'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he called Ivan 'the Terrible' in this video? Because he was evil or useless? No, it is because 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English many years ago as 'Terrible', when the word commonly meant awesome or formidable (see definitions 3 & 4 here: www.dictionary..... And in English, Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

Thank you very much.

There is still some inconsistencies and сommon misconceptions
This is why I love this channel
There seems to be some mistakes in mapping as Lithuanian commonwealth as never had covered the territory of Latvia nowdays. There German Livonia, Polish dependent Herzogtum Kurland, other powers depending on the time you look at but at no point after year 1200 (A.D) have Lithuanians ruled in areas to the North (Latvia). They have had territory stretching to Black sea, but not really Northern part.
TheGuillotinecutter this is not hystorical. This mess
This is a simplified version that doesn't teach much.

Pity you, Giuseppe, if your "source" of Any information is "Game of Thrones.
I am a 70 year old Russian history scholar-specialist, and can confirm the veracity of this "shit" that happened.
Dear Roman, am unable to give an adequate answer to this loaded question. May I recommend Wikipedia or some fine, related you-tube videos. Thanks for your interest.
Not at all "barbaric" - there are no bad questions, only (sometimes) inadequate answers. May I recommend: Epic History: Russia Part 1-& on.
(You-tube). Very well done, researched - not taxing.
Also: Where did Russia come from ? Ted-Ed - Short and good.

Also, Ivan the "terrible" was not actually called so in Russian. Westerners probably call him terrible because he wanted to spread Russian civilization. He was known as Ivan the Grozny (Grozny meaning fearsome)
His reign was probably the first reign , where we can describe the politic of the king , or "tsar" as terror. So he was terrible.

hey guys I am from India. I love the history of Russia. it's very interesting. from the duchy of muscovite to a grand empire. ultimately it became a giant. then the giant falls at the hand of flock of sheep called revolution. which end monarchy and gave birth to U.S.S.R. Russia produced some fascinating stories like war and peace, mother, Dr. zhivago etc. It's monarchs like Ivan the terrible, Peter the great , chatrine the great were famous still today. In the end I want to say I love you Russia.

Ivan IV's title wasn't the "Terrible". The Russian word "Грозный" means "Fearsome"
Это синонимы в английском языке, умник.
The rest of the world aside from Russians who look back favorably know him as Ivan the Terrible
Yall dont seem to have a big problem with your leaders killing your own people
@@rhumandlove393 It looks like ha has no problem at all :D
@Polish Hero Witold Pilecki I read word terrible used to mean something different
@5:38 Ivan IV was no more _terrible_ than other monarchs in Europe. in fact in Russia he's known as Ivan Grozni, which means Ivan the Formidable or Redoutable, formidable/redoutable opponent. The German writer who _translated_ to Terrible was either an ignorant or an agent of propaganda for the Pope, I thing it was Pope Gregory XIII who could not wait to see Orthodox Russia under his papal authority. Ivan IV has always politely turned down the Pope's _offer._ Ivan IV was the most educated of all the European monarchs of his time. Also his main internal enemies were the Boyards ==> Russian aristocrats.
@ludwig amadeus Any proof of that aside from politically charged pamphlets? "Grozny" means "the terrifying" or "the dangerous", of course you'll be perceived as terrifying when most of the western royalty preferred sweet courtesy over direct expression of their motives.
But which one Ivan IV you mean: the genuine one, or the impostor putted on the throne by the Muscovy Company?
But he had increased territory of Russia. He was very strong warror and leader.
@@damianb8322Hi. I am studying in Russian school, and i remember, in histiry lessons i hear about it. We always think, that it is a legend
@@KyleNike84 I think "Grozny" means "intimidating". It should be the closest translation. Literally it means "like a storm". Also he was kinda like Vlad Cepesh, cause he adored to impale people. I'm russian by the way.)

Kieven Rus is the history of all slavs not just Ukrainians because there was no such thing as russian, Ukrainian, Estonian, polish, Serbian etc.
Just because Kieven Rus geographical location was in Ukraine doesn't mean it was full of Ukrainians.
Both Putin and Zelenski are wrong.
Some people in comment section are arguing without any reasoning.
Well put.
sophia cathedral in kiev graffiti with russian language on it, ivan 3 coin has "tsar of rus" on it, and ivan 3 is moscow tsar, that means that moscow is rus
The state as a whole wasn't ever officially called "Rus". Only the Kyiv, Chernihiv and Pereyaslav were considered as Rus and their people as rusyns. Everything else was called with its own name. Russia was called as trans "trans forest colonies" at that time, and they weren't even slavs at that time.
Just like how Putin told this story to Tucker explaining how the Russians and Ukraine came to this point in time of history.

The history of Russia is more interesting than it may seem from this video. It is also interesting in that it was repeatedly rewritten to please and with the intervention of Europe, therefore, in the process of in-depth study of the history of Eurasia, you can find a lot of contradictory facts.

+Felix Magpie Thank you Felix, extra nice to get that feedback from a Russian!
+Felix Magpie Very good and useful graphics, but very politicized version of history. Rus was never called Kievan Rus. Read any ancient document. Rus was called Rus. Kievan Rus is the term historians use to describe the history of Russia, when Kiev was its capital, same as Moscovian Rus when capital was Moscow. Ukraine as country or nation never existed till XX century. Term «Украйна» (Ukrayna) first time appeared in XVII century. Term was created from ancient slavic word «оукраина» and meant borderland.
Complete lie about Ivan the Terrible (Иван Грозный). «Грозный» better translates from russian as redoubtable and had much more positive meaning, than terrible. Violent paranoia is another lie. Of course, Ivan IV was violent compare to our time, but he was not any more violent than any other European kings of that time. It is still a historical debate about death of Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich of Russia, son of Ivan IV. But there are no debate that Ivan IV did not killed any of his 7 wives, but for example Henry VIII of England killed 2 of his 6 wives as well as 20 peers, 4 leading public servants, 6 close attendants and friends, 1 cardinal and numerous abbots. During whole time of Ivan IV were killed no more than 5 000 people. For example, in one St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in France were killed 30 000 people.
Battle on the Ice was not actually at Ice. It was a myth. Proven by archaeology and Livonian Chronicle (defeated soldiers were falling on the grass). Some part of the battle could happened on the coast of a lake and some knight could get killed on a lake after defeat while retreating, but the main battle was not there. Finally, Battle on the Ice could not happen on the ice, because it was April 5, 1242. April is middle of the spring. Of course Ice could still be on a lake, but it would be pretty thin too handle whole battle with knights in full armor.
+41Dragon I absolutely agree with you that some facts were not presented correctly, but I think it is possible to make a discount to such little issues thus a great work has been done. And talking about Ivan the Terrible, I'm really sick and tired that he is translated like the terrible, it's absolutely not true, and we both know that originally his name has a different meaning. You gave a good example.
But, I'm a bit worried about the second chapter of the film, as it's going to be extremely controversial 20th century and even more controversial WW2 and the Great Patriotic War. I only hope the creator of this great work will not make mistakes in giving the wrong analysis to different historical events. I really don't want to be dissapointed, because I like the way he presents history.
+Felix Magpie Yeah, I agree that amount of work was great and visual presentation is very good. I just complained about politicized version of the history. It maybe minor, but very important facts. Also, since it was already some mistakes, I too share the doubts that next chapter could be even more away from the truth. But I hope author will take this into account and will do next part much less politicized, without judgmental statements and distortion of facts. Because these graphic representation is well done and that would be to terrible if it would get destroyed by these mistakes.
+41Dragon I agree with you and hope our thoughts won't be ignored :)
Very nice....and remarkably free of historical revisionism. Except as this is a history of Russia, the correct characterization of Ivan IV assuming the title 'Tsar of Russia" would be the *restoration* of the Russian state. The first Russian state in the Russian view was "Kiev Rus" -- which was a loose confederacy of princes, not a centralized state.
"Kiev Rus" is of course, a historical anachronism just like "Byzantine Empire." To the people at the time, they were simply Rus. Many (or most) princes of Kiev were born in Novgorod.
No he is not, he was tsar of Moscow, Russia is how East Romans called Rus, and Peter the first named his country like that to justify concuring the capital of old Rus - Kiev.
@@doriangray7129 Russia named themselves Russia all the time. in 1721 the Russian Kingdom became the Russian Empire, a tsar(czar) is a king, It has the same root as a kaiser. the Novgorod dialect is 50% of Russian language (listen to liguists, the other half is the main language of Rus(sia)). This already was Rus without Novgorod or something else. krivichi, vyatichi, radimichi, sloveni, severiani were (east slavic) tribes of the East Russian lands. Ukraina means borderlands (only that), look еthymological polish dictionaries for example. the Suzdal, Vladimir, Ryazan, Smolensk, Toropets, Chernigov and Novgorod-Seversk principalities and the Novgorod land are (modern) Russia. If you look at the Birch bark manuscripts (the real spoken and written language) you will see that modern Russian is very close to it, so called Ukrainian is only a Russian dialect with Polish amixture. There were invaded lands of Rus or Russia by Poland and Lithuania and the locals rose to fight against them. In Novgorod there were killed a few traitors the few who wanted to sell themselves to the west invaders. Russia originally means Rus' and rusyn initially is a synonym of russian (look at the polish wiki for instance), and there was the ethnonym rusky (russian) in the Ukraine as well. If you look the english articles (about genetics) of research institutes you will see that absolute majority of russians are genеtically the same as ukranians and belorussians. In fact if you look at their old documents and folklore they all are russians. and the minority (very small part of the whole population) have some finno-baltic admixture. Truely Russian historically, lexically and grammatically is much more close to Polish and Czechoslovakian than to any south slavic language (see, let us say, the Swadesh List), There are many turkic words in Ukrainian, "maidan" is one of them. There are no almost any finno-ugric words or something in Russian. really I know only one-two such words, and There are a lot of ugric words in the west Ukrainian dialects because hungarians live there and nearby. And In Ukrainian actually There are enaugh of old bulgarian words as All Rus was baptized and took old church slavonic. And if you remove all polonisms and polish germanisms from Ukranian (I always look in polish, polish ethymological and old polish, slovakian, czech and etс. dictionaries) you will get Russian with small dialectical pronunciation differences. the fact is that even slovakians can't understand czechs well without special practice, and czechs speak with poles in English. And of Course russians don't get bulgarian (and also church slavonic ~ old bulgarian) in most of the cases because of the very different grammar and large difference in vocabulary, And nearly all of the words I understand in bulgarian there are in Ukranian and besides Ukrainian grammar are almost identical to Russian that's why they both are called the East Slavic Language.
It is not correct. Even the grandfather of Ivan IV - Ivan III was called in the Royal title "sovereign of all Russia."
The name Rus appeared simultaneously with the creation of a centralized state. The Russian state was formed along the Dnieper river, which was the flow of goods from the Black sea and further from the East to Europe.
The first capital of Russia was the city of Staraya Ladoga - it was there that Varyag Rurik came after the invitation. Then the capital was moved to Novgorod (to be exact near modern Novgorod there are remains of the old settlement, Rurik Settlement"). Then Rurik United the Slavic tribes downstream of the Dnieper, and his heirs Oleg (Helg) and reached a small fortress Samvatas, which belonged to the Khazar Kaganate and had a Jewish population. Capturing the fortress (and the land around), he appreciated its favorable geographical location and moved the capital to it, now this fortress is known as Kiev.
Shortly before the Mongol invasion of Russia was crushed into many parts - each of which sat his Prince. As a result, the capital of Bia moved to the city of Vladimir, the capital of the strongest Vladimir-Suzdal Principality, Kiev by that time remained an important cultural city, but lost the status of leader, especially after the internecine war it was captured several times by the princes.
Near Vladimir was founded a small town - Moscow, which gradually, for a number of reasons, began to grow and develop, and very soon became more and more important than Vladimir. Since then Moscow is the capital of Russia. However, Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg built by him, but after 1917 the capital returned to Moscow.
@@igroteka90 There was no Russia. The kingdom of Rus was the kingdom of Kyiv and its states. Russian empire came out of Moscow principalities. Ruskij has no connection to modern Russian. THe main language of Rus was closer to Belarus language than modern Russian.
@@igroteka90As someone that has studied slavic languages at length I can easily destroy every one of ur arguments. Rus did not have a single Slavic language, it had many close but different Slavic tongues and eventhough both Novgorodian and Kievan Manuscripts were written in old Church Slavonic, linguists can see clear differences between them, as each of these manuscripts had certain amount of live spoken language in them. The language spoken in Southern Rus, that is Chernigov, Perejaslav, Kiev, Vladimir and Galician principialities is direct predecessor to the modern Ukrainian language. Graffitti on the walls of St.Sophia in Kiev prove this, and here are examples. " "Мати не хотячи детичя бжа геть", another one " О горе тобі Андрониче, ох тобі небоже! Чему єсі зло створіл, то не відає нікто же. Толі тє звілі Кузма". These were written on the Walls of St.Sophia in late 11th, early 12th centuries. I have posted the link below.
So you see, Ukrainian steams back from the times of Rus, just as Belarusian and Russian. Was there Polish influence? Sure there was..But languages of Southern and Central Rus (Ukraine, Belarus) were already fairly close to Polish from the beginning. As for pronounciation, Ukrainian is much closer to Serbo-Croatian then either Polish or Russian. This is due to the fact that Croatians came from Western Ukraine..So everything u claimed is absolute baloney friend.

basically a dynasty called Romanov comes to power and restore order and continue expanding, they hold power until the revolution (the one that eventually led to the formation of the USSR). In 1721 a person known as Perter the Great came into power. Until Peter the great came along Russia was a relatively backward country, Peter liked western European clothing and culture and eventually integrated aspects of western European nations into Russia, he even made a beard tax because before having a beard was normal/expected of people in Russia. Peter then started a war with sweeden (who then had most the baltic lands) he gained land and build a city on the newly conquered land, this city became known as st petersburg and was a more western style city and was made the new capital of russian. Peter essentially brought russia from being a backward eastern land that no one in western europe payed much attention to, into a superpower. All this time until 1861 russia still had a fuedal society where there where boyars (lords) and serfs, the serfs where essentially the property of their masters and where tied to their land. In the 1800s the discontent with this was higher than ever esspecialy after Russian soldiers (who where conscripted serfs) saw the relative freedom in western Europe while in the Napoleonic wars. In 1861 serdom was abolished but the former serfs still had a bad time as they did not really have anywhere to go. During the industrial revelution these former serfs started becoming factory workers and conditions and pay these factories was terrible even compared to other countries. This eventualy led to the febuary revelution in 1917 which resulted in the revocation of power from tsar nicholas II. Russia became more similar to a republic. This new government did not want to stop the war (WW1) with germany which was going terribly for Russia resulting in many deaths and starvation. The Germans eventually funded a person called Vladimir Lenin to go to russia to start a new revelution to stop the war. Due to the war exaustion the people supported it and the October revelution happend (1917) this is the one that formed the USSR (union of soviet socialist republics). Lennin killed many who opposed him (mostly nobilty and other wealthy people) including the russian royal family. Lennin died shortly after (1924) and was succeded by Stalin aginst Lennins will. Stalin had a plan for rapid indusrilisation (5 year plan) this involved using forced labour (gulags) and also resulted in famines and many deaths. Stalins rule was cruel but without the rapid industrilisation germany would have walked over them in WW2, it was all the tanks and weapons made from this that won the war eventualy. After stalin the age of gulags and holodomor (a man made famine) was over and it became more similar to other countries. People often think that life in the soviet union was terrible but they though the soviets though the same about the US, its all propoganda. Post stalin USSR was very different to the USSR before. Public services like schools where very good, food was made to a good quality but the whole system collapsed due to corruption and bankruptcy and the USSR collapsed in 1991. From there its has been the russia we know today. Sorry if this is a little long but i missed out alot of details. Also sorry for spelling mistakes.

That cliffhanger. Great episode.
It was not Ukraine in Russia at the beginning, it was full one state, not Russia and Ukraine separately.
Different territories controled by one state. The lands of Kyiv, Chernihiv and Pereyaslav were the only one officially called Rus. Russian territories were called "trans forest colonies". Everything else was called with its own names.

On the history of Russia it is possible to make a feature movie
I agree, but it would take something closer to 100 feature-length movies to do it justice.
I myself would pay money to see them all on the big screen in 3D for sure. I hope to see it someday, and I hope it comes from Russia and not from Hollywood. Peace!🙋
How about a great multi-season series like Game of Thrones? With all these waring factions and families, it would be awesome.
As long as it's not a bunch of British and American actors doing bad Russian accents...

This is very informative! Please do make a part 2. It'll be very helpful. Thanks! :)
Ivan IV was one of the greatest Russian rulers of all time. He is only called 'Terrible' in the west. In Russia he is called Grozny - meaning Formidable.
What perversion of human mind can lead to statements like that? Is this the new russian political noodles you get hanged on your ears - to praise Stalin and Ivan IV, both bloody butchers, differing only in victims' number? Is Peter I not enough?
Didn't he like to throw dogs from the top of towers?
Konoron No. Literally polish propaganda.
@@lite4998 I read that in a book written by a British historian. I'm not sure why they would follow Polish propaganda.
Konoron British historians are especially biased against Russia in general and Ivan Grozny in particular. Why would they not use all the political propaganda they could to smear one of the greatest leaders of their geopolitical opponent?
This really is epic and well made. Subscribed!
+MultiSciGeek Thanks!
Even tho I watch every video in this channel I just can't get enough please keep uploading more history videos.
Thanks to your videos, I can understand Russian history very clearly and come to love it. Thank you very much.
I am a Japense. For us, Japanese, Russo-Japanese war is a great victory and we can read lots of books about it from the Japanese point of view. If possible, please describe Russo-Japanese war from the Russian side. After your video, Russia Part4, Russo-Japanese war is approaching.
Thank you! Part 5 is out now, which cover the Russo-Japanese War.
konan keisetsu u know how we say? Only Russians and Japanese can love truly
We need more people that actually delve into the culture and history of russia, instead of whining and saying “rusia bad cuz putin did bad ting”
But russia is bad people just ignore it for some reason
Except that Russians have been drinking a fake history that makes them feel better about their imperialist nation, of Ivan (oh he didn't really brutally bludgeon his son to death - er, yes, it seems he did), of Stalin (the Holodomor wasn't real, er, yes it was), all Slavs are Russians and should speak Russian and anyone speaking Russian should be loyal to the motherland. Er, Russian is similar to Bulgarian whereas Belarusian and Ukrainian is similar to Polish. The languages betray the difference. Russians are not the big brothers of every other Slav. They are just imperialists looking to feel superior by conquest but have no right to any other sovereign nation and never did. Russia is just the Muscovy vampire squid sucking the wealth and life out of the provinces to make itself feel safer. But it is dying according to its own demographics data and the thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children it intends to raise and then send to the frontline to fight against their own kin and every other perversion the squid can come up with will not save it from the alcoholic demise it has set for itself.
Amazing, thank you for this fascinating journey into one off the most diverse an complex countries in the world.
Amazing documentary, it is the best I have seen so far ! Thank you so much for contributing to true facts and unbiased point of view. This documentary shows even the Crimea history and to who it always belonged to.
and who is that? Because is see the whole land we know as Russia historically belonging to many people
that was really cool and awesome
I'm a big history nerd and I'm LOVIN THIS!
lies mixed with the truth, that's how it shapes public opinion in the West.
We're learning Ivan The terrible in schools. This helps me to make the Image of how the russia looked at that time. Please continue I love it
The term Kievan Rus was coined in the 19th century in Russian historiography to refer to the period when the centre was in Kiev.
No, Kievan Rus was different from Moscow, Moscow in the 12th century as part of the Golden Horde was created to rule the principalities!
Then after the collapse of the "Golden Horde" at the hands of"Amir Temur"!
In the 14th century the Principality of Moscow until the 15th century was still under the control of the "Crimean khanate" and then in the Kiev Principality was created by "Cossack army" tradition" of the Golden Horde Nogai Code-cumaná", then in the 15th century began the dawn of Muscovy as an independent state from the" Crimean khanate", and in the 16th century Russian people was formed as the titular people of Moscow, and then in the 18th century was established
The Russian Empire!
Russian Russians were serfs until the 19th century, and when the Russians killed the Germanized "Romanov" dynasty, they began to rewrite their history as the "Battle of Kulikovo", but, the "Battle of Kulikovo" in the 14th century was a war between the "Nogai Mamai " and the" Genghisids " of the Golden Horde for power!!

There was no Golden Horde in 12th century 🤡

This channel is really epic. Great work Dude!
Oh my gosh you re so funny...
It teaches that complex history most clearly, thank you so much for uploading this valuable doc here!
This is really Great!
I love your videos!
Ого, ещё один маппер, на которого я ещё не подписался. Надо бы исправить эту ошибку.
that was a remarkable experience, I actually had goosebumps. I subscribed!
Thanks also for clarifying that Mongol Golden Horde became Tatar. Many people would say Mongols ruled until Golden Horde's end, but actually the empire became Tatarified.
@Mustafa Alam Yeah it's confusing. The Turks and Mongols are both called Tatars sometimes, but they're ethnically different.
I think split between people living in modern russia and modern ukraine happened after tatar invasion. Kiev for 1 centrury was devastated by tatars and was released from the yoke in 14 century and Moscow actually joined the yoke for 3 centuries and tried to leverage from its union with the yoke to conquest the west (and Kiev). But faced Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth (and population of ukraine represented 40-60% of commonwealth population), which actually stopped for 4-5 centuries Moscow's attempts to conquest west. But the history of same people living in two different worlds (in commonwealt and in the yoke) changed the mentality of one great slavic tribe. And today the mentalities of russians and ukrainians are opposite.
Украинский историк) английские ученые в шоке
у украинцев видение истории от всего мира отличается
And I think you write nonsense because you absolutely do not know the subject about which undertook to talk
Не убивал Иван Грозный своего сына!!! Это всего лишь картина художника Репина
Да и со всеми кто написал эту картину случилось плохое . Его и его сына травили
Более того, картина называется "Иван Грозный и сын его Иван 16 ноября 1581 года". Про убийство уже кто то домыслил.
Nice to grow the knowledge about the epic history of Russia.
Hope west Europeans see this, and understand why East Europe had such a difficult time ,they stop ugly invasion while west Europeans conquer other continents and get rich
Shut up man western europe has always been better then the East
adn Russians didnt hold back anything, Tamerlane absolutly wrecked the golden horde and sacked astrakhan and sarai 2 major cities in the horde
they never recovered Plus their Khan tokhtamysh died in exile which left multiple claimants fighting for control
theres alot more to the story of the decline of the Tatars they didnt collapse fast aswell crimean khanate held out for nearly 500 more years even taking the ruthenian region from lithuania and sacking kiev
Funny how you have a western name then and speak the western language. On western invinted things.
@John Brooks
Invaded by who? OH your so called "refugee invasion" huh?
the FACT is that western european nations are trillion dollar economies
top of the world in various sectors like education and healthcare
the only thing eastern europe is kn own for is ethnic violence, dictators and intense racism
there are 9 million polish immigrants in UK alone
largest immigrant group explain that shit bruh!!!
why arent they in poland if its so great?
@@Eabokor1 You know nothing. Russians had to fight invasion from southern hordes throughout it's history, and due to flat terrain of Rus, there was no place to stop them.
@@Eabokor1 is everything in the money
How about you look at crime levels of Eastern European countries like Poland Czechia Croatia or Slovenia and compare them to the West and the US
Human Life and morals are more important than stupid money
Russia founder of kiev, and zelensky takes control over it as a joker.
Great Work ty For Your Time , keep them coming 😀!!!!.
hello. will you dare and make a series for Danu river Bulgaria ? and Great Bulgaria and Volga Bulgaria that will be interesting to see since not alot of people talk about those empires ( they all have pretty interesting stuff to show like Volga Bulgaria defeating genghis Khan army and samara bend and then trading his warrior`s for goat`s 1 worrior for 1 goat in history that`s know as the Goat Battle ) also keep up the good work ! :D
+NormalFrequency Thank you! Very interesting idea, one for the future perhaps.
Great idea to show a successful country of Volga Bulgaria that saved Russia from a famine multiple time, getting invasions in return !Otherwise this brief history of Russia just a copy of the Soviet school history books
Cool. Great presentation on this very interesting topic.
I am looking forward for the other parts too...please continue.
Amazing work!!
+Dhwani Bhadoria Thanks Dhwani!
+Epic History TV I have suggested your channel to my friends interested in history and they liked it very much.
Can we also make requests?
+Dhwani Bhadoria Thank you for recommending me Dhwani. Of course, please so make requests. But I must warn you that each video takes quite a long time to make, so it may be some time before I can get round to them all!
+Epic History TV No problem.
+Epic History TV Please make a video about the Finno-Ugris. Its quite a mistery how we got here in the first place. We also had settlements before the supposed language came so people lived here before a culture wave came.
WIth your sort of voice and animation it would be awesome.
Alexander Nevsky looks a lot like Jesus. Like a lot. Look him up.
He was made a saint, that's probably why
Except Jesus wasn't white.
You mean, Jesus wasn't real.
Jesus looks a lot like Alexander Nevsky. Happy now?
Israelites aren't white? The more you know...
Amazing ! This channel is a class by itself. Respects. 🤘
Great video, you have made. Cant wait for another upload! Keep on the good work, lads!
These videos are amazing, I wish more people would watch them
Obviously Ukranians and Russians are one people.
were*
it's questionable.
The point being?
Russia accepted Christianity from Constantinople anyway, so the Eastern rite was already present, even before the Schism. Not to mention, that, unlike the Southern Slavs, the Rus' people had Greek in use in lithurgy for a long time.
It's pretty obvious that Rus' is the predecessor of Russia, just like the Holy Roman Empire is the predecessor of Germany. So yeah, we can say that Russia accepted Christianity in 988.
Rus' is Rusia on Greek-Latin manner of literation, so the opinion that Rus' and Russia are different phenomena is wrong

This is a questionable episode of russian history. There is no clear evidence, that Ivan killed his son, you should name other versions, when you are talking about this topic.
Several foreign authors affirm he did. Russian chronniclers are as usually afraid of telling truth.
@@ЮрийХатунцев-н9л
Chronicle isn't a reliable source of information, unless there is a way to prove it via expertise or other type of research. The analysis (1963) showed, that son's body contained a critical amount of toxic metals, so he might have died because of poisoning. Maybe the expertise was false, or the poisoning wasn't the cause of death, but that's the reason I called the whole situation questionable.
I believe it
@@ЮрийХатунцев-н9л Russian chronicles aren't afraid, they are released and told by Russia but the west has a habit of twisting every fact and history about Russia so that they always look like the bad guy. Who tf cares about those foreign authors, where did they get their source from?
this will get the best and most viewed hist channel on youtube
good job. continue ^^

+ridge knepp Thank you Ridge!
+Epic History TV are you guys going to do one on the ottoman empire
Ivan the Terrible, during the oprichnina, executed about 4 thousand people, while the European monarchs and the Catholic Church executed people with tens of thousands, so who among them is “terrible” is still the question
Grozny isn't a word in English language tho
Stop lying! Catholic Church didn't kill. Catholic, better say Christianity is the fundament of our civilisation.
If people destroy the fundament, the world civilisation will collapse and you and your kids will live in new barbarian era. Taking into consideration the modern technology human race developed, it will be the worse system that existed whenever in the past.
Educate yourself.
the best videos so far of waterloo and ww1 that I have seen on youtube.
awesome quality stuff. keep up the good work
+Rudy Nathan Thanks Rudy!
There is so much epic value packed into this video. We definitely watched this before travelling to Russia and honestly, with this historical context, everything felt so much more meaningful. Anyway, if any of you out there are history junkies and metalheads like us (there has to be some on this channel, right?), we've written an epic metal ballad of Ivan the Terrible's life on our channel. The song is called "Ivan the Terrible," and the music video is pretty epic. If you are interested in this kind of thing, give us a view - we'd really appreciate it! Anyways, keep up the great work!!
Yep, this is what you get watching history on UA-cam. Don't know what else have I expected.
It would be possible to tell and about the Russian-Byzantine war of 907 years.
very nice explanation with the interactive graphic visual...well done Epic History TV...
Thanks!
Can't wait for part two, thanks!
if only they taught history like this in schools... Easy and fun way to learn!
