One of the best videos yet. When I finished it I thought "nooo why is this one shorter than normal" but then I noticed it was actually almost 10 min that passed super fast. Congrats on your great work!
Yet I've always thought that Russia under my rule was at the most glorious extent. This vid really taught me many things I don't find in books. One more thing, I didn't die in 1825. I simply faked my death and gave the throne to my younger brother, Nicholas, because Constantine do not want it. --signed by Czar Alexander I, 1816
Aparently you were spotted in Siberia some time later going by the name Fedor Kyzmich and died in Tomsk in 1864, do tell me what were you doing for those 39 years? :)
Justin Case in those years I watched the reign of my brother Nicholas I from afar, then live in a little place peacefully. However, it wasn't that sweet in those years for I had to bear those ill news regarding the death of my wife, Elizabeth, then my brother Constantine, and soon the ones I used to care for faded before me. The fun fact is, when I heard the new national anthem 'Bozhe Tsarya Khrani' in 1833, which means 'God save the Tsar', a strange and nostalgic feeling hit me. Am I still the Czar? What am I supposed to do or go? But still, I love the anthem and still remember the song even in the current life of mine. Thanks for asking.
Are you, your lordship, afraid of being murdered as your father - Pavel I? And how do russian people live under you reign? Were they rich or poor? I am interested in it because 1) I am fond of russian history. 2) I am russian myself :)
@@alexanderpavlovichromanov3065 Your majesty, I think that we might have a problem. I saw Napoleon wondering around comment section. Also, by his behavior, it seems that he is still interested in conquering Russia! What should we do, your highness?!
Alexander Skvortsov it is certain that it was my deepest fear in regards to what happened to my father. I was there the night they came into the palace, they even asked for my permission to "remove" my father from the throne. I did not dare to stop them. That night, Tsar Pavel lay dead in his room. The next day, I was crowned Tsar of all Russia, by the masses and the same group of people who removed the previous Tsar. That was when I realized how fragile my power was. Russia under my reign (1801-1825) was not exactly prosperous, as most of the time we were either fighting in the war or recovering from the damages of it. The aristocracy was still well off in general but I couldn't say the same for the common people and especially the serfs. I wanted to help them, the serfs especially, but that would anger the boyars, and I was too afraid to follow my fathers footsteps by angering the powerful nobles of the realm. Furthermore, after the Napoleonic wars I became more of a conservative myself. By the time I left the throne, not much changes was done to ease the wedge between the rich and poor. However, it must be noted that during and after the war, a sense of patriotism surged like never before, affecting every class and all peoples of Russia. I even commissioned the construction of Minin and Pozharsky Monument in Moscow, and you should definitely check out the story behind it. Very sorry for the late reply and taking your time to read, dear Sir, Alexander Skvortsov -Tsesarevich Alexander Pavlovich
You always made a great history video!! This Russian story is also very good for an amateur like me. The period between Napoleonic war and the Russian revolution is very difficult to understand. In your video, this period is clearly described with impressive pictures and sounds. We would like to watch following stories. Thank you very much for making such a great history video.
This felt more like watching an Eu4 time lapse than real history, russia be expanding all over the place. Really interested to see something similar done of all major civilizations.I imagine it'd take a long time to get done, but these are pretty informational in a broad sense.
Very good job. It should be also mentioned that Russia through panslavism and as protector of (especially orthodox) christians in Ottoman empire played the major role in independence of many nations on the Balkan peninsula.
You are dreaming if you think we need a communist state that murdered millions of it’s people to gain any power. Russia is a failure. Their Economy is backwards. Nato is at your doorstep too. Ukraine and Georgia would be admitted to Nato.
Just one person made all this? Wow!awesome great .thank you and also thank you charles nave with your great voice!the best voice i ever listen in documentary
when Ottoman was in its peak, Russia wasn't there to fight it. When Russia starts fighting Ottoman, the latter is already turning into the sick man of Europe. Not much of a rivalry....
it's not even a rivalry, it's a one sided battle in favor of the Russian Empire, without british and france, the whole ottomans would hav been dimantled much earlier
@@SousukeAizen421 those time, ottoman empire already turn into sick man of europe.... if this happened in 14th or 15th century when Ottoman was in its peak, then maybe it's called a rivalry...
Не было геноцида, черкесов ограбили, убили и поработили русских граждан. Поэтому Россия должна была входить туда в войска и проводить антитеррористическую операцию. В течение этого было убито меньше черкесских террористов, чем они погибали каждый год. После этого власти вернули мирным черкесским правителям.
There was genocide, but the genocide of native Americans in the 17yh and the 18th centuries. One should mention the genocide of African people by european , especially, anglosaxon colonisers.
Every episode has been better than the last. I would like to teach history as a profession, and you have helped inspire me toward that goal. Keep up the fantastic work!
A funny story, during the Crimean war the British and French bombarded some Finnish ports. Once they ended up blowing up the naval supplies, which the Brits payed for before the war.
MrRussianMapper Indeed they were, some war that was, the Crimean War. If they British and French didnt helped the Turks out you would have conquered half the Turkish country xD
@@boss180888 uninhabited, but has many resources. For example, the natural gas on which all of Europe rests ...This is better than going to Europe with war and killings like Hitler or Napoleon. We went east into uncharted lands, and all of them now belong to us together with resources. Still.
I always think Epic History videos are superb. Thank you very very much for creating such wonderful videos. I came to be interested in Russian history and like it very much. After watching Part5, The Russian Revolution, I can deeply understand the background of Russia and how to change from Tzarist Russia to Communist Russia. And the above-mentioned background is connected with the present situation in Russia.
It's interesting because in fact all the Soviet and post-Soviet period are revanchism, to return Russian reign on former Emire belongings, leading to agression in 1939-40 against Poland and Finland, and then after losing territories again in 1991, against Georgia and Ukraine.
You should have mentioned that Nicholas the First who was educated as a engineer decided the use 1520mm gauge instead of the European 1435mm gauge which was one of the reasons why Nazi Germany had problems with supplying their armies because they couldn't use their own locomotives. This is one of the reasons why they lost.
@@ComradeHellas Yes, in the very long list of reasons why they lost, this is in the longest tail-end list of "assorted minor reasons contributing to the Axis defeat". Also it was not so much his education or decision rather than that the American company that he contracted to establish railways in Russia just happened to use this particular gauge (the railways in USA at the time were not really one national network, but a multitude of independent companies and railway lines where pretty much everyone ran the gauge that was most suitable to their own needs - it wasn't standardized until much later)
Finally another video, I always get anticipated to watch these HIGHLY educational videos. Thank you so much! I also expect a differen't history lesson now, Perhaps WW2 or Romans or any Era seemed suitable? Thanks.
Discovered your channel and was absolutely mindblown, I have to congratulate you on this hell of a work! It's well-told, magnificently made, pretty accurate while staying balanced to avoid major controversies. Many TV channels could learn from your work. Of course it is quite summarized but I suppose it's impossible to dig further in 10-minutes long videos. Out of curiosity, do you manage to make a living with only the UA-cam views and your Patreon page? It would be a shame if it wasn't the case as I suppose this is very time-consuming to make. Regards, from a fellow history lover and a new fan of your channel!
Thank you! Much appreciated. The channel doesn't cover costs yet, so I have a day job too, which is why videos are unfortunately so infrequent. But I'm hoping as the channel and gets more support it can become a full-time job. More info here: www.epichistory.tv/about/
These videos are brilliant. I wasn't able to continue history at school and I have been looking for something concise and accurate, to further my knowledge for a while now - so glad I found this channel! Thank-you very much Toby :) Are there any videos relating to the UK/US Civil War/War of 1812 in the pipeline?
They would be stupid to not fear the Russians. How can you say England and France envy Russia, when they are more advanced in almost every way? Also didn’t have a third of there population as slaves.
@@jacobg9690 To be honest serfdom existed in England and France. But they abolished it much earlier than Russia. I think the problem of Russian eternal backwardness to Western Europe lies in the 200yrs of Mongol yoke and the territorial remoteness from the Roman culture which served as the origin of Western European culture.
It is a myth that People's Will was a 'Jewish group', and it's usually circulated by anti-Semites looking for a scapegoat for Russia's problems. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narodnaya_Volya "Demographically ethnic Russians dominated the organization, with about 14% of the group's members sent to trial of ethnic Jewish origins.[33] " Jews were nevertheless prominent in Russian socialist and revolutionary groups, for the obvious reason that they were heavily discriminated against by the Tsarist government.
You are not well informed about Jewish history, but you do recycle some very old anti-Semitic myths, i.e. 'drinking human blood'. You should read more about this: www.britannica.com/topic/blood-libel I give a wikipedia link because it has a footnote and source. The quote from the book 'Road to Revolution' is: "Of the members of the People's Will who were given a court trial over fourteen per cent were Jews. They constituted fifteen per cent of all the politicals arrested in 1884-90 (579 out of 4,307 persons). " www.ditext.com/yarmolinsky/yarframe.html So one of those executed was from 'a Jewish background'. I presume all the others were not? This doesn't sound like 'a Jewish group' to me. It sounds like a Russian group with some Jews in it.

Nice. I hope to see Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, Germanic duchy's and more focus on diplomatic affairs than history itself in the future. Also that this channel gets atleast 500k subs, imo it has the potential.
It is such a pain to walk through Russia's history. So many missed opportunities, so much suffering. Is it our destiny, to be martyrs? But what's the fucking point??
Mikhail Evtushenko the failure to capture Constantinople, the selling of Alaska, WW2 and other catastrophies is the most painful thing i see in Russian history. I am very interested in Russia and would like to study more about it. This video portrays Russia well. But there is still muc more about Russia to explore. Thank you Russia for contributing to human civilization,culture and history. Your martyrs will not be forgotten. it would be a crime to do so.
Did you know, in 1816 Hawaiian King Kaumualii asked the Emperor Alexander I to accept Hawaii as part of Russian Empire. If the Emperor would agree, now there would be "Hawaiian Autonomous Oblast" in the Russian Federation ;) There is Russian Fort of St. Elisabeth on Kauai isand - now museum...
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. Growing up in America you aren’t taught history the correct way in school, maybe it’s the teachers, maybe it’s the environment, but all I have is to blame is myself. I hope others see this video and get more insight into the history and can learn from it to progress forward.
I love all your work but must ask, will you ever make series or a video about Turks? I really wonder that and share this channel to my friends in Istanbul. The Napoleonic series is especially a blast!
Do you plan on doing similar series like this? And if so will they focus on European Powers or will they also include countries like China, The United States, and Egypt (Just to name a few random countries) from other parts of the world?
Yes. I'll be covering various other nations and conflicts in the future, stay tuned on FB and Twitter for updates. And Patreon supporters get to vote on what's next... www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

Your work really need to be supported. Unfortunately, I'm having some financial difficulties right now, otherwise, certainly I would donate to you on patreon.
Russian "serfs" were not slaves. They were protected by the law, they had families, homes, lands, property etc. They were just connected to the land and land was a property of nobility, that's why serfs were sold with their lands together. At least with the land they had a way to feed themselves. Many of them were not happy with reforms because they have lost lands or had to pay for it.
And when Polish/Lithuanian/Latvian and all the other people who were free before that were made serfs I'm sure they were very happy to be able to feed themselves. Oh no... wait! a lot of them starved to death. And uprisings were probably because they were sooo happy about this too. Yeah... I don't think so.
@@Lina-lq7jm as far as I know their social status didn't change. If they were nobility, they just joined Russian nobility. If they were serfs, they stayed. Ukrainians and Belarussians were Polish serfs. Baltic people had a very low position with their previous owners.
We europeans dont deserve Costantinopoli, the Eastern Roman empire has protected Europe for 1000 years just to be backstubbed when it was time to give something back
As someone who had to learn Russian history from many perspectives, have to say this video is very balanced and accurate. Thank you for your work!
Thank you, appreciate it.

It is such a pain to walk through Russia's history. So many missed opportunities, so much suffering. Is it our destiny, to be martyrs? But what's the fucking point??
Mikhail Evtushenko the failure to capture Constantinople, the selling of Alaska, WW2 and other catastrophies is the most painful thing i see in Russian history. I am very interested in Russia and would like to study more about it. This video portrays Russia well. But there is still muc more about Russia to explore. Thank you Russia for contributing to human civilization,culture and history. Your martyrs will not be forgotten. it would be a crime to do so.
Авось виноват.
Did you know, in 1816 Hawaiian King Kaumualii asked the Emperor Alexander I to accept Hawaii as part of Russian Empire. If the Emperor would agree, now there would be "Hawaiian Autonomous Oblast" in the Russian Federation ;)
There is Russian Fort of St. Elisabeth on Kauai isand - now museum...
Will you make a video serie on the history of the Soviet Union?
When Russia was an Empire, not just Russia.
When you so closer to Constantinopol, but so far
Great work! Keep it up! Can you do later a history of Hungary series? :)

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Growing up in America you aren’t taught history the correct way in school, maybe it’s the teachers, maybe it’s the environment, but all I have is to blame is myself.
I hope others see this video and get more insight into the history and can learn from it to progress forward.
Interesting as always. Keep it up!
How do you edit your videos? You do an amazing job!

Great video! Will you be making a video about the Russo-Japanese War?
Thanks! The war will be covered in Part 5, out later this week (not in great detail though, that would be a separate project).
Do you plan on doing similar series like this? And if so will they focus on European Powers or will they also include countries like China, The United States, and Egypt (Just to name a few random countries) from other parts of the world?
Yes. I'll be covering various other nations and conflicts in the future, stay tuned on FB and Twitter for updates. And Patreon supporters get to vote on what's next... www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

Your work really need to be supported. Unfortunately, I'm having some financial difficulties right now, otherwise, certainly I would donate to you on patreon.
Sir you've got a subscriber.
Can you please do Philippines history mate??
Russian "serfs" were not slaves. They were protected by the law, they had families, homes, lands, property etc. They were just connected to the land and land was a property of nobility, that's why serfs were sold with their lands together. At least with the land they had a way to feed themselves. Many of them were not happy with reforms because they have lost lands or had to pay for it.
And when Polish/Lithuanian/Latvian and all the other people who were free before that were made serfs I'm sure they were very happy to be able to feed themselves. Oh no... wait! a lot of them starved to death.
And uprisings were probably because they were sooo happy about this too.
Yeah... I don't think so.
@@Lina-lq7jm as far as I know their social status didn't change. If they were nobility, they just joined Russian nobility. If they were serfs, they stayed. Ukrainians and Belarussians were Polish serfs. Baltic people had a very low position with their previous owners.
impressive work
We europeans dont deserve Costantinopoli, the Eastern Roman empire has protected Europe for 1000 years just to be backstubbed when it was time to give something back
you are right.
Well the Greeks had one shot at taking it back but the Balkans couldn't work together and blew it, both Greece and Bulgaria lost out.
