    Western Europe in particular has hated Russia for many centuries. This political rivalry dates back to Charlemagne and the religious schism between the Orthodox and Catholic world in 1054. This schism generated a whole series of clichés, prejudices, stereotypes first against the Orthodox Greeks and then against the Russians who had taken over the the religious heritage of Constantinople

      That's how your governments justifie every lamdgrab for centuries. When one person persidyenly believes that the world is against him, it is called paranoia. In Russia it is taght in schools and shared by the nation.
      All this animosity of thev West and hatred of the Carholic church exists only in your head.
      It is actually the Rusdian tsars -- from Ivan III through the current Tsar Vlad -- who hated every faith other than the Orthodoxy. Tsar Nicolas was a weakling but very strong in only area --- his venomous hatred of the Jews.
      All these myths about the West serve only one reason: to draw your attention away from your own values and history.

      This is definitely true. In fact it was the western Europeans in the fourth crusade that destroyed Constantinople whatever the turks took over was basically a remnant the prestige and glory of Byzantium and orthodox. Christianity were pretty much dead after the 13th century.

      The hatred for Russia has always been a result of their actions, there's nothing deeper to it than that. Time and again we have bent over backwards trying to be civil with Russia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union billions of dollars of aid was sent to Russia to help mitigate a humanitarian disaster of their own making and 30+ years later they're threatening us with nuclear weapons again. They say there is no such thing as trust in Russia and that part is true, in the rest of the world we do and those who violate it usually don't get second chance. Have fun eating dirt after it's over this time because we know now communism wasn't the problem with Russia, Russians are the problem with Russia.

    You are wrong guys. Russians didn't leave Sevastopol ( not Sebastopol!) but simply evacuated to northern parts of the port. So, like Stalingrad in 1942/43, Sevastopol was not fully captured by the enemy.
    Apart from that the Russian troops which fought in Crimea were not the best in the Russian army. Those were sent to the West to stave off the possible attack from Prussia, Austria and possibly even Sweden.

    Trouble - tzars was in 1547-1721 its 174 years only
    The first Russian ruler to be officially crowned and solemnly proclaimed the title "Tsar" was Ivan the Terrible in 1547.

      The bearers of the title by which Grozny was crowned, namely "tsar", in Russia have always been considered only three: the "heirs of the Caesars" - the German and Byzantine emperors, as well as the Khan of the Golden Horde. In fact, the new title simultaneously made the ruler of Moscow the heir of both the Byzantine emperors, with whom the Rurikovichi were related through the marriage of Ivan III and the niece of the last emperor Constantine XI, Sophia Palaiologos, and the khans of the Golden Horde, with whom the Rurikovichi were related through the marriage of Prince Yuri Danilovich of Moscow and the sister of Khan Uzbek - Konchaki. Khan or Tsar the Terrible had a Tatar mother from the Glinsky family, that is, he was a descendant of Mamai from the Tokhtamysh family, a direct Genghisid family. Therefore, Siberia became part of Russia. Since Ivan the Terrible was a descendant of the Khans of the Golden Horde, from the Genghisid family.

    I was hoping the video was going to say a few of the reasons why the last Tsar actually lost the throne. His military officials constantly lied to him and told him things were better than they were, for example they told the Tsar his coronation went perfectly smooth and it wasn't until later he found out what had actually happened. Along with military defeats in their east with Japan, the Tsar having three daughters before he ever got a son. The Tsar had 2 things to do, first expand the Russian Empire and second produce a male heir. Once the last Tsar finally had a male heir, he was born with a life threatening condition. The Tsar withdrew from his people once his son was born because they didn't want their citizens to see their son was weak and wanted to keep him as safe as possible. Then the mad monk came around, who was the only one who seemed to control the heir's condition, which made them dependent on him.

    "Ukraine" (common Slavic term means province, edge, region, outskirts) is a taboo name for designating Russia or Russia Minor (Russian lands of former KievanRus inside the kingdom of Poland/ Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). This word "Ukraine" emerged only in 16 th century for the aim of avoiding the ancient word Rus/Rusia : which was tabooed, it was replaced by the Polish euphemism "Ukraine" due to fear of Moscow Russia, claiming for ownership of kievan Rus. Like among primitive people it was forbidden to give direct name of a totem animal, so the Polish kings preferred not to hear the name of their main enemy Russia (the Muscovite tsardom) inside their lands. Thats why was created by Polish occupants myth about some "Ukraine" (instead Russia) that is als ob "not Russia" . But Russia Minor (Ukraine) means central or inner Russia. Cossacks of Zaporozhye suggested to Poles the substitute word for Russia. This became the word "Ukraine", used by Russian Cossacks of Zaporozhye for description of the border between Malorossija and tartar steppe. Now separatist regime of Ukraine has been brainwashing the Ukrainians (who are in majority are just renamed Russians) with this myth since 1991. 80% Ukrainians = Russians of Russia minor or Malorossija, they are part of Russian nation except Galitsians - Austrian Ukraine/ The rest Ukraine is Russia in same scale as Krakow & Lesser Poland is part of Poland. Collapse of USSR was in fact partition of Russia but in post Soviet times Western fakenews & media implemented in minds of western people such nonsense that "Ukraine" is something separated from Russia. There is only one way to peace - restore historical borders of Russia and unite Russia 1 (Russian Federation) and Russia2 (so called Ukraine).

      They did get payed it’s called looting the enemy population (there’s also an actual system of payments but only given after the campaign ends) as for supplies ( food&Water) you take from the locals that’s how it was back in the 19th century and before the invention of 20th century military industrial production and supply.

      You mean the size of Napoleon's army?
      Most sources agree that the Grande Armée which invaded Russia was of more than 500000 European troops. It was the largest army that Europe has ever seen, up until that point. But Napoleon and his Generals weren't capable of keeping this army properly supplied.

    Peter the Great was the one ruler who didn't make excuses for Russian backwardness, he fixed rather than scapegoating and inflicting punishment like every Russian leader before or since. Had there been subsequent Peter the Greats every other generation Russia might have made better use of the territory it had rather than preying on plunderered infrastructure in Europe, Russia wouldn't be as much at risk of terminal collapse but how much sympathy is due a thief? If it were up to me I'd make them choose whether they want to be a European power or an Asiatic one because they've demonstrated repeatedly they can't be both and do it responsibly. Siberia has more than enough resources to sustain itself as an independent nation. The biggest obstacle to the development of Siberia is and has always been the influence of Moscow in their lives.
