I realize that my channel isn't the biggest and won't be for a while but there is a lot of knowledge I have acquired over
a few years of being on youtube and I do have advice to offer - either with regards to starting a channel or video production.
I very much live and breathe the grind of RUclips and can sympathize with anyone having trouble as I have had little luck myself and am likely able to offer advice for you to be able to position yourself for faster success than me or at the very least review your channel.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Why Serbians Love Putin's Russia and What This Means for the Balkans explores the deep-rooted relationship between Serbia and Russia, examining the historical, political, and cultural factors driving Serbia's admiration for Russia. It delves into the contemporary geopolitical consequences, focusing on the impact of this alliance on Serbia's regional standing and the broader Balkans.
Beginning with historical context, the essay highlights shared Slavic heritage and religious ties as foundational elements of the Serbia-Russia connection. It then scrutinizes modern politics, dissecting the strategic reasons behind Serbia's alignment with Russia, from energy partnerships to military cooperation. The role of media and propaganda in shaping public opinion is also explored.
Crucially, the essay assesses the implications for the Balkans. It examines the potential for regional instability stemming from Serbia's Russia ties and evaluates reactions from neighboring nations and global players. The essay concludes by contemplating future scenarios and the alliance's sustainability, offering a nuanced perspective on its impact on regional stability and global politics.

Isn't it important to distinguish North Macedonia from Macedonia region though, from a geopolitical channel? Am just saying 👀
Izuzetno jednostavno za objasniti. Srbi i rusi su narod koji samo zeli zlo drugim narodima i koji cine genocid kroz cijelu povjest, drugim narodima. Osjetio sam to na svojoj kozi. Mogao bi napisati da je dobar srbin, mrtav srbin, ali ne zelim njima, ono sto su oni napravili drugima, tako i meni osobno (ja sam hrvat) u tome se razlikuju genocidna stoka i mi ostali
Nisi naveo da su partizani osnovani u hrvatskoj i nemaju nikakve veze sa srbijom. Jedino pred kraj rata, su srpski zlocinci promijenili uniforme i od zlocinaca, postali partizani
@@oskngjeste, baš što su osnovani u Hrvatskoj, mučenici se nisu borili u Hrvatskoj, već krenuli iz Srbije, i osnovali prvu slonodnu zonu,Užičku Republiku, pa se prešlo u BiH, zamisli ti logike, Hrvati osnuju partizane pa se ušunjaju u Srbiju da krenu u borbu, pa što ne počešte iz Hrvatske da se borite, idi begaj😂😂
Was recently in Belgrade(10days ago to be exact) they have Russian and Serbian flags on almost every building and street light. Coming from Scotland thats a real big shock but when I was talking to locals in pubs and bars they tell you they don’t support the Russian invasion, more so they see Russia as standing up to what they perceive as a bully in NATO. Serbians feel that NATO and the west wronged with Kosovo and whether us in the west like it or not they have a point to some extent. No country in the modern era has ever had territory forcibly removed, for example when saddam hussein fell in Iraq no country accepted a Kurdistan state even though they had been subject to extreme human rights abuse and thus Serbs see this as extremely hypocritical.
As a Serb, I have nothing to add
And Croatia see very hypocritical what East (Russia, Turkey) and West make agreement about Treaty of London 1915, Croatia not to be included in Treaty of Berlin 1875 as independent state, Treaty of Rappalo and Rome Serbs signs with Italians in 1920s against Croatian coastline and hinterland, international law, integrity and unity. All this just cook anger, frustration and sadness here until dome Croats didn't "explode". Yes, Serbia treat Croatia as just one another "colonizator", "occupator" did to us. Did you ever heard of "Riječka krpica"?
See Croatian National Revival started in 1830 and Croatia had the oldest bank among all South Slavs, Prva hrvatska štedionica.
@davidmcintyre2260 @bokicak1 I understand what you are saying but you have to also highlight the hypocrisy from the other side. No Serbian or Russian has ever said why doesn't Kaliningrad go back to Germany (Part of Prussia). Russia has no historical links to that land, it has always been a germanic speaking land with ties with rest of Germany or even Polish Lithuanian empire as they also lived there but not the same extent as Prussians. But was never Russian land. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Serbian flag is the same as Russian one but IN REVERSE so that might have confused you. Possibly more confusing is that Serbia has 2 flags, the Peoples flag (no coat of arms) and the National flag (with the coat of arms), as a rule during national holidays, they are displayed either alternating or together. By the date of your post, you were here on the "Day of National unity" and I can guarantee that there were no Russian or any flag other than Serbian Peoples and National ones on the streetlights.
Serbian people love Russians, no question about it. And even though deep down we have sympathy for their side even in this war that vast majority of us wish never happened, official institutions are not that blind to realize that displaying Russian flag wouldn't be geopolitically prudent.
Yes, thank you brother. It's a lie that we in Serbia hate anyone. I have many friends in the US, UK, etc, and they are great people, and I love them all. But the govermant's of mentioned countries are another story. Them I do not like. Serbs are hospitable people, and every guest from the US, UK, and any western country was and always will be welcome, respected and it's our honor to host them the best way we can, and that's the way that will always be. But nobody can blackmale us to hate Russia who had always stand with us. And that's the whole true.🇷🇸❤️🏴 But will also 🇷🇸❤️🇷🇺 always. And I don't see why one must choose among that?
There is an old caribbean saying, which i feel is apt here. Serbia is sometimesish. Meaning one can never truly know what serbia really feels or will do. They dont like outsiders telling them what to do. They were the first to break away from ottoman rule. They defied the axis powers and they were no soviet satellite state. Good luck, eu, nato and whomever is stupid enough to want to make serbs kneel.
True. Serbs like freedom. Rest of ex Yugoslavia republics are just western puppet states as always they kneel to stronger and they will do as west says. One word they have been slaves to Germans and they will be inferior race in western eyes and then what's the worst they (Slovenians Croats Muslim Bosnians Albanians) like it. Also they were Nazis one of the worst murderers in human history. That's why west like to use them cos they don't know what freedom is. Maximum achievement of countries like Slovenia Croatia kosovo and Bosnia its their own tournament who will be bigger ass kissing nation that's how they survive as states. Serbs are completely different Serbs likes freedom and never kneels to anyone. That's is why Serbia gets punished all the ti.e trough history by big powers. Serbs are lions. Slovenians Croats Albanians Bosnians are frightened chickens.
Coming from the UK I love Serbia and the people are super friendly 💯%👍
The answer is simple. Russians fought and bled for Serbia on several occasions. And it means a lot. And should mean a lot for a long, long time. The other thing, in my opinion, is that Serbians, being basically distanced from both East and West seem to have a distinct opportunity to have a more objective perspective towards both. Also, there is access to most of world media, not only "western propaganda" or "Putin's propaganda", but also to Indian, Chinese, Arabic and other media, so we can interpolate data to gain fairer view.
And this is why Serbia and Romania can no longer be friends. How can we trust a country that is working with our enemy? I wish that more romanians realised that the time of Romania's good relations with Serbia are over.
As a Romanian, no matter what Serbia does we will stand with them. They are not our friends , they are our family !
Edit :
When a Serbian posts, I agree
When a Serbian thinks, I applaude
When a Serbian speaks, I listen
When a Serbian tells a joke, I laugh
When a Serbian replies to my post, I kneel
When a Serbian helps me, I owe Him eternal gratitude
When a Serbian is born, God rejoices
If Serbia has 100 friends, I am one of them
If Serbia has only 1 friend, that friend is me
If all the World is against Serbia, then I am against the entire World
If no one in the World supports Serbia, then I have left this World already.
Thank you man we appetite that. Especially what Romanian fans did during the football game with Kosovo.
Thank you our Romanian brother ! We are both AS ALWAYS (!) on a right side of history , justiful as always! We Love You!
Serbs never did any bad thigs as WRONG portrayd even in this video , see this my whole comment to an Amazing guy from Slovenia!! :)
"Bravo from Serbia! Amazing explanation , the best i seen on you tube for a while!
Serbs naturally afraided to stay in new bordered Croatia to them most unpopular Westen support and decsion because in WW2 Croatian Nazi state killed 700.000 to 1.000.000 Serbs who toiday's Western politicans and mainstream media and Croatia media tended to minimized! Whata shit ! :( (((
And they was right because they in "Oluja" terrible action totally assimilated there with cinical Western Support !
@@branilavvasic9727 being so close with Serbia is a great honor for us and make us walk with our heads high !!!!!
There is not much sense in this video...
1. You tell that Serbian leader was elected - Who was elected on the other side? Not saying Milosevic was any good, but the others had same mindset.
2. Serbs wanted to make a country where all Serbs would live - In fact Serbs were already living in one country called Yugoslavia.
3. Tito was a Croat, and Croats were suppresed somehow? Funny since large amount of factories were in Croatia
4. Serb separatists - So Serbs separated from Yugoslavia although Slovenians separated first, then Croats, and then Bosnians. See anything wrong?
5. Despite the fact EU is a major financial supporter for Serbia - This is not entirely true. China has come to be greatest investor in recent year or so. From Serbian perspective EU is doing everything they can on taking Kosovo away, Russia and China don't. What's so staggering about the fact that one side is working against interests of Serbia and Serbians don't trust them? Would you trust me if I put my hand in your pocket while I'm giving you some money? You really think amount of money they gave can compensate for land value of entire province? Like WTF?
6. Reason why so many Russians come to Serbia is that they don't want to be treated bad due to Western propaganda. They want to live decent lifes while this shitty war passes, and Serbian people have no hatred towards Russians. We have experience with Western propaganda so I guess we can see more clearly through it.
Amen
Not bad, you forgot to mention that in the bombing the USA used depleted uranium, that is why Serbia and Kosovo ( yes Albanian population especially) have the highest rate of cancer in Europe!
Make a video about that please 🙏
Nope that's not it at all, i mean i know what depleted uranium does to you, as my uncle from croatia went to kosovo to help with demining, and he indeed died from an agressive cancer not long after returning, but he worked with tge stuff directly on a daily basic.
But to have an impact on entire population, yeah had they thrown down ten times more it wouldn't be enough, if you compare what happened in japan for example.
And mind you most of it, at least in urban areas has been disposed of quckly as it's very detectable.
Nope, i'll tell you why they have so much cancer there, i follow their press daily, their economy was and is heavily dependant on mining and heavy industry, their soil is very polluted with heavy metals, mercury but arsenic too, and instead of curbing that down with better regulations they gave their mines to chinese and other foreign investors that are even worse than old communist yugoslavian administrators, and local government isn't any better using dirtiest coal you can find on earth polution wise and standards of environmental protection went down last decade with current government that only targets quick cash.
I've read in their press, within a last year their soil analisys and it's devastating in general, and their waterways too, giving they have mountains of garbage falling from garbage dump into the river and raw sewage flowing into the river in downtown belgrade.
So yes the numbers regarding heavy metals and arsenic and other poisons were bad, but around mines, power plants, and other industrial complexes were like 100 times above allowed, not 50% or 200%, but 10 to 100 times, 1000 to 10 k % - and the same is for kosovo, also heavily mining dependant area, uranium is just a trope and an excuse, few passes with gaiger counter and you scoop it up and dispose of it, but that was anyways miniscule in comparison with decades of heavy polution on an industrial level.
@@dannyboy-vtc5741people from croatian islands say to me that they die a lot from cancer from bombing of Serbia. Their theory was that what they couldn't drop because of Serbian air defence...they simply drop at croatian sea because it was some kind of problem to return with it in base. I don't know if it is true. There is Italians who were on Kosovo and big number died or get ill. Your case also ..it all say something
@@dannyboy-vtc5741by the way. Sewage mostly flow to the river by pipes and can't affect cancer in that scale. Almost every significant company have waste water treatment. Dump is closed and garbage is treated in highest standards in Belgrade. Recycling and producing electricity...few years already since French got concession. Also, miners in Kosovo almost don't work since NATO occupied province
Serbia has no greater cancer rates than Europe BUT it has the greatest death rates due to ruined healthcare system . Depleted uranium is not causing cancer on a large scale that has been debunked by the science a long time ago.
What you talk about you braindead bot? Cancer rates in Balkans are significantly lower than most of EU countries (paradoxically worst are in most developed countries). And this is despite the higher consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Where you got your statistic from, a pub?!
I am sad to say but this video is poorly researched.
A lot of historical points were dropped:
-How Russian Empire supported Serbian uprising, without that support Serbia would not gain it's independence in 1878 but would continue being Ottoman protectorate.
-How Russia entered WW1 solely because of Serbia, when they have the chance to say "no" and avoid needless casualties.
-How during WW2 Soviets assisted in liberating Yugoslavia and actually left the country while Allies bombed Belgrade in 1944 and actually killed more people than Germans did.
-How during the 90's Russia wanted to assist but could not as they had their own problems, but despite that a lot of Russians choose to support Serbia as mercenaries.
-How in 1999 at Pristina airport WW3 almost started when Russian KFOR units almost got fired upon by British KFOR units as they raced to control the airport.
In short: Serbia and it's people like Russia because Serbia as a nation today would not exist without them. And Russians since then always assisted and protected Serbia as much as they can while never asking for anything in return. Western powers on the other hand (Germany, Britain and US) had in one way or another always have hostile stance toward Serbs and actively worked against them.
Giving how things are going now Serbia will never join EU as most of population right now does not support it, same goes for NATO. Most likely outcome that, long after Ukraine War is over, Serbia will be something akin to Switzerland. A neutral century in a middle of Balkan with strong ties to Asia, African and South America which is independent from EU politics.
No, Serbs will join the EU eventually. The reason is simple, the EU will give them more free money then their entire economy output.
yet, people don't know or choose not to know about Yeltsin's lack of affection towards Milosevic (as Milosevic supported the communists during their coup in the 90s), so Russia didn't support SR Yugoslavia much (as well as providing military equipment to Croatia). They are using us (Serbs) as puppets to spread their influence and we support Putin for the wrongest reasons (while Putin being the same as Vucic and domestic politicians). And this is me saying that we should keep strong relations with Russians but please, no more personality cults
Yeah I noticed hella red flags in this video
@@AL-lh2htI don't think you get it. Serbia wants to join EU. And has been trying so for past 20 years. However, EU has made it clear that, without recognizing Kosovo independence there is no membership for Serbia. Serbia is not willing to do so. So for next 100 years (unless EU changes its mind) Serbia will not join for sure. Its not about money at all.
‘Russia has always assisted while never asking for anything in return’ - that is absolutely not how international relations works. Russia has always wanted something in return every time. They would not have intervened if they did not have important strategic objectives in the region, which were influence in the region and access to the Turkish straits to the Mediterranean, which is why they supported Serbia against the Ottomans
Instead of penalty's from EU to Serbia they should think about paying war damage from the NATO bombing.
Has the serbian government even payed a single denar for the damages they caused in Sarajevo, Mostar, Srebrenica, Vukovar or Prishtina? How about in Zenica, Višegrad or Prekaz?

Serbians love Russia. Not Putins Russia or Hruschov Russia. Just Russia. Forever.❤❤❤
Our brotherhood love is for centuries. We are from same seed born. What is there strange to understand?
I feel somewhat offended by the last remarks in the video. We don't need more time to "forget". We cannot and will not forget, we can only forgive. And we will not "eventually join the west", that may be a fantasy of the western leaders, but it's not going to happen. NATO, an alliance that denied your people's right to self-determination in Croatia and Bosnia, only to commit an act of aggression in support of terrorist separatists in your country (the U.S. designated KLA as a terrorist group themselves) now wants you to join them in its hypocritical views. When Russia intervenes it is bad, when NATO does it, it is justified. Luckily, our Republika Srpska survived, and eventually we will reintegrate it. Kosovo will have to be fought for, regardless of the consequences. You failed to mention that Vučić is extremely unpopular in Serbia due to his pro-EU stance, and is on the brink of losing his presidency.
We are not your friends, you made sure of that a long time ago. Stop trying to coax us onto your side.
We stand with Russia and we'll fall with Russia if need be.
Nationalism is cancer, the amount of single mother homes in Serbia says it all as well as the birthrates and homicides and drug problems. You dream of this greater serbia dream like a naive child but inside of your own country everythings falling apart, probably justifiably so due to propagation of this selfish chauvinist tribal rhetoric from your ilk who is probably writing from some western country and not even from Russia or Serbia, its both funny and sad, but keep digging into your own demise with these toxic tribal views.
Republika Srpska is a joke. It'd called BOSNIA.
@@LARESCIV Dobro je Bosanac ne pali se.
Serbs want Croatian land so you claim Croatia don't need their teritorial integrity.
Naravno da si iz republike sumske .. :D A sad nazad u bosnu
Yugoslav constitution didn't allow unilateral seccession. In first part, article 5, it said that borders can be changed only if all other states approve. This is a mistake on your side, but good video. Also some thing were too simplistic - serbs didn't want only 'greater serbia', they were already in common country (yugoslavia), so the main thing for them was that they wanted to stay in common country while slovenia and croation did not. Croatia also had large serbian minority (15% I think) and the conflic began. Actually it was similar to Russia-Ukraine conflict over crimea. Here too communist draw lines on a map and gave one teritories to other republics, also there is large minority who does not want to go with the majority. I am from Slovenia, was born in Yugoslavia

@@goranjovic3174 They wanted Greater Serbia since "Nacrti" from 1844.
@@markocroatia7630 they lived on their own territories in Austro Hungary they don't wanted "Greater Serbia" already to live in normal Serbia because borders draw much much later croat Tito included their territories in future Croatia - today's Croatia . In that time both nations on tend two liberate from Austro Hungary , they haven't borders as they are today between them . When Tito draw borders they loosed practically posibility that live in future native Serbian territory not Greater not Lesser. Croats and Serbs was very mixed and it was hard to put fair border between them in Balkan that's why Yugoslavia was bettef for both i think. Especially Serbs because they with Titos border much more must stay in today Croatia than Croats in todays Serbia.That's it . Plus main priblem was that had much worster treatment in Croatia than Croats in Serbia it is a fact. They cannot like it for sure. After genocide in Jasenovac over them and NDH normaly that they wanted to be in future Serbia with its native terittories . Or in Yugoslavia. Simple to understand for smart real people. As this Slovenian comments is more than fair and truthful.
@@markocroatia7630 Greater Serbia is not a Serbian idea, it actually started in Austria as propaganda knowing all too well that this idea will awaken all kinds of disasters among other Yugoslav nations. That idea found a soft spot among right wingers in Serbia too but it was never a wide spread idea among majority of population, even in the '90s. It is still used more by non Serbs than by the Serbs.
Serbia has it's own reasons, and they were treated very unfairly by EU and NATO in the last 30 years. Greetings from Poland to Serbia.
dziękuję bracie z Polski. Pozdrowienia z Serbii
be that as it may, they can take their ruzzian fanboy kit and shove it !! if they want to depose remnant ottoman trash, they should do it through NATO. this region is ruzzia FREE & it will remain so !
Greetings from Serbia to our Slavic brothers, the Poles. I want all Slavs to unite...
I know that Poles and Russians had disagreements and even mutual wars, but I still believe that Poland and Russia have excellent, even close relations, today it seems like a light year away, but I still believe, because hope dies last ,long live the Slavic world 😀
Bullshit.
Same as heir friends Russians, Serbs have been treated too FAVOURABLY so they, same as Russians, expect special understanding and so on. If Putin was punished for abhazia he wouldnt have attacked Ukraine.
If Serbs were properly punished for nineties, they wouldnt be like this today.
Русија и Србија браћа заувек 🇷🇸♥️🇷🇺
Slobodan Milosevic, as bad as he was, has never in his life uttered the words "Greater Serbia", but you can find dozens of speeches where he talks about keeping Yugoslavia together. Rewriting history much?
Sooo besieging Sarajevo and Vukovar, killing Bosnians in Srebrenica which by Milosevic's logic were still "Yugoslav" realllyyy helped keep the country together through brotherhood right?
Very inaccurate maps of both Serbia and Croatia in the early middle ages, as well as Dusan’s Empire. Not to mention present day Serbia and ‘kosovo’.
Please try to be more objective and not stick to western propaganda only
Because Russia helped Liberate Serbia, we also liberated Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Montenegro, yet Serbia is the only one who actually thanked us
rusia liberated countries same as hitler's germany.
USSR or Russia, actually occupied those countries and not liberated them. And during the years stole a lot of their riches.
@@brutus1789 you Western bots really have no knowledge about anything prior the jewish invasion of Russia in 1917 right? I doubt you've ever heard of the Russian Empire, the country that defeated Napoleon, saved Austria from Hungary, helped unite Germany, and liberated the Balkans. Oh I forgot, in CIA academy they pretend like 1917 is the beginning of human history. There's a reason why no country mentions Imperial Russia in their school history books, because they're hiding the truth. They loved us so much that Montenegro even officially declared war on Japan for over 100 years in support for Russia, and a Montenegrin swordman even challenged a samurai to defend Russia's honor. This is called friendship and brotherhood, something you Westerners don't understand, you only care who feeds you the bigger food and you crawl towards them.
You mean you liberated Romania of all of its gold, most of which was never returned to this day. You liberated us of our families, our minorities, our hopes for an united Romania by separating Bassarabia from us. You liberated us from ever liking you.
Liberated is translated differently in Russian it seems
Космет је Србија научите напокон
Because we are one people. We are all Slavs. Why do English people like Americans? The Russians didn't kill us like the Anglo-Saxon killers. Ask yourself why countries that were bombed and destroyed by English speaking people don't like those same people?

This is a non-argument mired in pseudohistory and pseudo-geopolitics, I suggest Maria Todorova on the specific matter of the premise of "Balkanism". America was initially in favor of the preservation of Yugoslavia, but after Germany offered unilateral recognition and support to the illegal secession of Yugoslavia, and then spent months lobbying in the EEC and the UN to get others to recognize them, they too revoked their support for the preservation of Yugoslavia and provided this " Western aggression" against Yugoslavia with an additional, USA dimension to it. Germany declaring war on Yugoslavia in all but declaration, and starting the wars in Yugoslavia is an irrefutable historical and geopolitical fact, Karen Talbot, J.D. Heidenheimer, French Foreign minister Dumas, Daniel Vernet, Mitterand, the US State Department (including Warren Cristopher), Joseph Joffe, John Mearsheimer, Lord Carrington, and Cyrus Vance are universally clear on the matter. What needs to be stressed is that Yugoslavia was offered IMMEDIATE* entry to the EEC, all member-states were in favor of it, barring Germany, who then proceeded to unilaterally recognize the illegal secession of Croatia and Slovenia, the rest is history. In both cases of Yugoslavia's destruction, the root of it was the aggression of several great, hostile powers, the only difference being that this time, the aggressors were not entirely the same as those from the 1940s, and Yugoslavia was unfortunately defeated in this "reprisal". Foreign Aggression, not "tribal, ancient Balkan enmities and other neologisms killed this state. Yugoslavia existed for the better part of the 20th century, from the 1910s to the early 1990s in notable stability, barring minor incidents which the West blows vastly out of proportion to substantiate its premise of the abovementioned Balkanization - a neologism (that has fairly little substantiation in history and ethnography) they've invented for the mere purpose of justifying a number of aggressive and detrimental attempts of subverting the resurging Balkanite states of Serbia, Greece, and Bulgaria, as a retaliation for the three's role in the defeat of the Ottoman Empire (the West's long-lasting ally), and the liberation of the whole peninsula of the aforementioned's rule. Serbia has especially earned the enmity of the Western powers as a result of her endeavors in WW1 which have shattered the Old World order and initiated a subsequent, yet steep withering of the traditional global, colonial powers of the world, and Yugoslavia has established its foreign policy on emancipating the Third World under its leadership and preventing the Western powers from re-establishing themselves as the governing body of its former colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Near East, thus effectively cutting them off from their vital wells of natural resources, thus relegating the West ever-further to the status of mere vassals of the USA.
These premises about the "weak economy" being the root of Yugoslavia's death are moot as well, in 1991, Yugoslavia was the world's 24th economy with a GDP of 120 billion, and a foreign debt of merely 18 billion - 15% of its GDP, it was a developed, powerful, global exporting economy: Mutual interactions between the two sides intensified in the late 1980s and early 1990s but all progress was cut off as of 25 November 1991 due to the wars in Slovenia and Croatia. Prior to the cut-off, Yugoslavia was the EEC's second largest trade partner in the Mediterranean area, just after Algeria, with 90% of industrial imports from Yugoslavia to the EEC not subject to any duty. Furthermore - in 1991, Yugoslavia had a higher GDP than Austria, South Africa, Indonesia, Argentina, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Romania, and Norway. The Serb and Croat states south of the Danube were founded in the early-to-mid 600s, not the 800s, and the reason why Serbs prefer Russians to the West is that, unlike the West, the Russians didn't commit genocide against the Serbs during both World Wars, they didn't destroy Yugoslavia, and they didn't drop depleted uranium on them, and don't seek the annihilation of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo.

What is "Putin's Russia"?
They just like Russia.
Modern Russia is defined in large part by Putin, just like how the Soviet Union was following the death of Lenin defined by Stalin. Following a period of turmoil, both men rose to a leading position in Moscow and its empire, before shaping the country around themselves. However where Stalin did this through forced industrialization and the Great Patriotic War, and Putin did this through overseeing a reinvogarated Russian economy and the return of Russia to the world stage, both were equally defined by their construction of a system solely built around them specifically being on top. If you had abruptly removed Stalin form power, or if you were to abruptly remove Putin today, the political structures built around Putin would be thrown into chaos similar to how the Kremlin remained paralyzed for a while following Stalin's death as the leadership fought over who would rule Moscow.
Putin has also built an image for himself that would be impossible to replicate without him specifically.
@@alehaimStalin, Putin and all the rest are just politicians who were leaders of the country in some period of it's history. But Russia as a country, and Russians as a nation, are much bigger, much more important, and much longer than any of the leaders.

@@alehaim bs
You're delusional if you don't think that Putin has entirely captured the Russian state, the whole thing is a mafia.
Croatia during the homeland war 1991-1995 purchased the most of weapons from Boris Yeltsin's Russia and from Ukraina. That's the fact. When Croatian minister of foreign affaires Grlić-Radman was visiting Russia in February 2022, he said that Croatia will be forever grateful to Russia for weapons that was sold to Croatia in time when Croatia need it the most. And one more curiosity: Russian historian and academic Mayorov published in 2000 a book: "Velikaya Horvatiya" (The Great Croatia) that summarized scientific research and the results from the fields of history, archaeology, ethnology, linguistics and anthropology about the early ethnogenesis of Croats in regions of Russia and Ukraina. That book, in which is scientifically presented the presence and the traces of early proto-Croats in wide regions of southern Russia and Ukraine in the time before Rurik's dynasty in Kiev (before the 9th century AD), even has received the award as a significant work from the president Putin. Of course, Serbians when they heard about this, they were very surprised and even angry.

He made some errors and over simplified a bunch of stuff, but the conclusion of the video is decent.
First of all, Serbian is an adjective, Serb is a noun. So, the title should be Why Serbs love... You generalize things too much. Not all Serbs love Putin or Putin's Russia. Most Serbs have some sort of sympathy for Russia, not Putin's Russia, but Russia in general - due to the Slavic roots, Orthodox faith, same enemies we've had in history, but also respect for the great Russian culture, literature, museums, icons, ballet, and arts. Russia is such an amazing country with so many cultures and peoples and traditions inside it, and has given so many beautiful contributions to the world in the world of science, space research, arts, ballet, literature, music, the defeat of Nazism in WW 2 at great cost. But, people are so blinded by politics that they only look at Putin's Russia of today. Russia has such great culture and the US is nowhere near.
We will never join west, the reason why west was aggressive towards Serbia in 20th century is because they know our history and the only way is to break Serb spine because Serbs cannot be subdued. Even though some are pushing us towards west we as people won't accept that and walls on our buildings can tell you that. We don't need wars and i hope God will save us from more bloodshed. We need to forgive and respect others but others need to respect and forgive us and let us be Serbs.
Peace from God to everyone ❤️❤❤
As a Serb, to be honest, I dislike both West and Russia and also condemn ongoing war. They are pretty much same but the only difference is look of them. West is like aaaaa freedom, democracy you can be anything you want, even a cat, but you must be against Ruzzia or whatever. Where is freedom of choosing there? Democracy? West is covertly authoritarian.
On the other side we have authoritarian country Russia, which invaded Ukraine, because since 2014. they were repressing Russians living in Ukraine by forbidding them to use Russian language and also attacking Russian people in Donetsk and Lugansk by Ukraine military. Nevertheless, Russia shouldn't attack Ukraine but they could find other ways of dealing with this problem of Russians living in Ukraine.
The main conclusion is that this is proxy war between NATO and Russia in which the main victims are Ukrainians who are dying every day for an year and half. Also, other parts of world are facing consequences by this ongoing war between West and Russia and I hope they will reach peace which is much needed. I hope USA and EU stop with warmongering and also for Russia to stop achieving their imperialistic goals and ideas.
Can you find a source for Ukraine attacking ruzzians in the dombas, all sources I've seen is ruzzia ending most of them using mines
@@CatManOfTaste try to search by yourself about this and do that by not looking at Western mainstream media, neither Russian. Internet can be source of knowledge and information if you know where to find it
@SuperAssassin007 yes, everything I've seen indicates it was ruzzia causing the issues in the dombass, whether by funding separatist, or directly supplying them with mines. Mines ended 147 of the 246 casualties in the dombass
@@CatManOfTasteif Yanukovich lost elections just like he won previous, Ukraine would still have sovereignity over Crimea and Dombas. But Western states (particularly USA) are allegedly prodemocratic when they deal with Milosevic, Putin, Lukashenko, Gadafi, Kim Jong Un, but at the same time they suported right wing huntas in Latin America or filty rich Arab despots
Ukraine attacking Russian population is a Russian propaganda! Russia separatists caused chaos first.
Great video! However, I wouldn’t be so confident that, given more time, Serbia will be fully aligned with the west. On the contrary, I think the opposite is far more likely and far better for Serbia’s sovereignty and neutrality. The fact that so many Serbs understand correctly the real conflict in Ukraine tells me that they will never collectively agree to terms set forth by Brussels and NATO. I urge Serbians to resist full EU membership. It’s a lot easier than to later have a referendum to leave, as happened with Brexit. Be careful what you wish for. Cost of living will dramatically increase while the standard of living will decrease. Serbia’s history of independence should be highly valued and protected!

The only viable country is China, but they couldn't give two shits about them while the tyrannical chinese dictatorship seems to be exporting their people to make more money to fund their military.
As a serb, all I can say is that we don't love Putin's Russia at all, but we actually love the Russia who saved us from the Ottomans and we are still thankful to Russia for that to this very day. Big Difference that apparently many of the people, especially from the west don't see at all. But, for me, I don't support the Russia nor the West nor Ukraine, im just neutral.

Good video!
During WW2, country was not divided by ethnic lines.... NDH was given territories that were overwhelmingly populated by Serbs, hence there was genocide that was committed at that time....
Serbia had its own WW2 pro-Nazi govt run by Serbian General Milan Nedic. Have a look at a map of the international borders of Serbia in 1910. They were the original Serbian borders with no Vojvodina or Kosovo.
@user-pc2jp2yr3c Serbia was formed between the cities of Skadar, Prishtina and Skopje long before that. Belgrad and Niš are cities the Bulgarians fled after Ottoman invasion and that were repopulated by Serbian refugees that fled from their original land
It's simple. The West imposed sanctions on Serbia in the 90s, the West armed Croats and Muslims, the West bombed only the Serbian army during the war in Bosnia. The West armed the Albanians in Kosovo, the West bombed us in 1999, the West violated international law and resolution 1244, the West today recognizes Kosovo as an independent state. The West is our absolute enemy and we pray every day for a Russian victory. A lot of incorrect things are stated in this video, where Serbia is again portrayed as the only culprit of the war, and no one asks how it is possible that Croats and Muslims had the right to their own state, and the Serbs did not have the right to stay in Yugoslavia. No one to mention the murder of over 300 Serbian policemen and civilians in Kosovo before the war in Kosovo, but okay. P.S. The Serbs were the biggest victims during the first and second world wars, thanks to the Serbs today all the states of the former Yugoslavia have their independence. We liberated them during the First World War, not the West, and this is how it was returned to us. LONG LIVE RUSSIA, LONG LIVE SERBIA.
I briefly visited Belgrade some years ago and found the people to be really lovely - in fact, it was a bit of a shock, coming there directly from Sarajevo.
I’m curious as to what Serbian media shows about Putin’s Russia and the war in Ukraine. Of course there is a small minority of people in the West who have access to all the information and still support Russia, but the figures from those polls in Serbia are incredibly high.
All of Serbia media is controlled by one guy who backs the current president.
Corrupt is so bad it’s basically Russian level.
We have direct access to all western media here in Serbia, we even have prowestern TV stations , web sites etc. lead by Serbians in Serbia. But in real life in kindergardens, schools, tradition, religion, history , music everything about Russia is good and positive. We live like we separeted from Russians yesterday not 1500 years ago . Somehow Russia is treated like Mother, we have word Mother Russia. We dont see them as nation separated from us, but more like a very close relatives, brothers and sisters.
In Serbia they say: God in Heaven, Russia on Earth. Deal with it
The problem is that you don't have access to media and information from the East, but only from the West. Do you think that your media is telling all the information.
Most foreigners are confused when I say that the war (in Ukraine) started in 2014... And that during that time there were several attempts on the part of Russia to resolve this crisis peacefully.
Whenever someone goes somewhere and says “the people are lovely”, it really doesn’t mean a thing. Someone could go to Russia or Afghanistan or Iran and say exactly the same thing. How can one really go to Serbia and say the people are lovely when there are Russian flags and Z graffiti everywhere?
Thanks!
Very much appreciated :)
@@GeoPerspective You do good work. I hope that your viewership will grow.🙂
There is no doubt that Tito achieved something remarkable, holding the six different republics together for four decades, but he failed utterly to put sensible plans in place to sort out what would come after him. Nationalism was held in check by the fact that anyone who stirred up such sentiment was dealt with harshly, either exiled or given long jail sentences. The only officially acceptable form was Yugoslav nationalism, which staggered on until the economy crashed. Then the demagogues crawled out of the darker corners, ready to blame someone else for the mess the country was in, and it led to war. "Brotherhood and Unity" died in an inferno of violence.
Yea Tito kept power by being a “good dictator”.
You allowed for a lot of autonomy for the varies regions, but after he died Tito’s successors wanted to decrease autonomy and literally did acts of genocide trying to keep in power in their delusions.
Tito’s successors where literally insane.
@@AL-lh2htthere were no Tito Successors They're Traitor's
During Yugoslavia's worst year, Yugoslavia was the world's 24th economy with a GDP of 120 billion, and a foreign debt of merely 18 billion - 15% of its GDP, it was a developed, powerful, global exporting economy: Mutual interactions between the two sides intensified in the late 1980s and early 1990s but all progress was cut off as of 25 November 1991 due to the wars in Slovenia and Croatia. Prior to the cut-off, Yugoslavia was the EEC's second largest trade partner in the Mediterranean area, just after Algeria, with 90% of industrial imports from Yugoslavia to the EEC not subject to any duty (not to mention the massive trade with the NAM). Furthermore - in 1991, Yugoslavia had a higher GDP than Austria, South Africa, Indonesia, Argentina, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Romania, and Norway. Foreign Aggression, not "tribal, ancient Balkan enmities and other neologisms killed this state. Yugoslavia existed for the better part of the 20th century, from the 1910s to the early 1990s in notable stability, barring minor incidents which the West blows vastly out of proportion to substantiate its premise of the abovementioned Balkanization - a neologism (that has fairly little substantiation in history and ethnography) they've invented for the mere purpose of justifying a number of aggressive and detrimental attempts of subverting the resurging Balkanite states of Serbia, Greece, and Bulgaria, as a retaliation for the three's role in the defeat of the Ottoman Empire (the West's long-lasting ally), and the liberation of the whole peninsula of the aforementioned's rule. Serbia has especially earned the enmity of the Western powers as a result of her endeavors in WW1 which have shattered the Old World order and initiated a subsequent, yet steep withering of the traditional global, colonial powers of the world, and Yugoslavia has established its foreign policy on emancipating the Third World under its leadership and preventing the Western powers from re-establishing themselves as the governing body of its former colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Near East, thus effectively cutting them off from their vital wells of natural resources, thus relegating the West ever-further to the status of mere vassals of the USA.
It's not that remarkable to use foreign connections to finance your funhouse of political terror and repression. Tito's hardly unique in that. But that is not even what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the most laughable misconception westerners have about Yugoslavia and that is that 'Tito kept Yugoslavia together.'
TITO WAS THE ONE BREAKING IT UP!
The 1974 constitution happened on Tito's watch. It contained a ridiculous unworkable system that decentralized the country to the extreme and gave the autonomous provinces in Serbia not only de-facto independence, but control over Serbia as a whole making the rest of Serbia effectively a prisoner of their whim in a more or less a complete reversal over what it means to be 'autonomous'. The entire system was designed to cater to everyone's nationalism except Serbs who were severely fragmented and put in a blatantly disadvantageous position. Tito himself bragged that 'he screwed up the Serbs so bad it will take them 100 years just to get their bearings.' The country was practically designed to break up at the most opportune moment, i.e. when the west won the cold war.
Josip Broz Tito had an idea after the Second World War since he was already considered the leader of all peoples of the SFR Yugoslavia. He wanted to be the leader of the Albanians as well. Therefore, after the Second World War, Serbs, who were the majority settled in Kosovo, were not allowed to return to their homelands by the law he enacted, aiming to settle a significant number of Albanians in (so called )Kosovo. This was his strategy to potentially annex Albania to Yugoslavia in the future.Thats why when you see now demographics you think of (so called Kosovo)you see much higher number of theri population its all done with purpose but its hard to exlain to Westeners .
Tito was always warning us that there were outside enemies that wants to destroy our beloved Yugoslavia that's what he said you can look up " Michael Parenti: The Plot to Destroy Yugoslavia" (TalkingStickTV - Michael Parenti - The U.S. War on Yugoslavia)you will be even more informed.

Merely the same, and they are attacked and got their territory stolen from them just because they didn’t want to be close to Russia anymore. They also forget that Russia aided Bulgaria against Serbia in 1885. Or that the soviet soldiers raped women in Belgrade in 1945, which left Tito speechless.

This was unexpectedly insightful and much appreciated. Having lived through the Balkan wars that brought us the term "ethnic cleansing" and regular atrocities it's hard to extend any grace to Serbians. I'd be interested to learn how they view Milosevic being convicted and imprisoned by the Hague. Do they see it as consequences for the leader who chose "Greater Serbia" incitement and violence? Or is it just another unfair imposition by the West?
Grace?Germans?Italians?Croats?
Serbs didn't bring you those terms, the CNN did.
We view Milosevic's fate as tragic in the ancient Greek sense. A scapegoat for the Western elites, and through his fate we look our own the same way, Western world punishing us for all the mess they deliberately made.
Milosevic didn't choose "Greater Serbia", he chose to stand up to Western tyranny, to not allow the Serbs in Yugoslavia to relive the fate of the WW2, when Croats and Bosnian Muslims shown us what their rule was like. Same as the Jews wouldn't have allowed something like that to happen to them, no matter who was leading them.
Milosevic didn't organize paramilitaries of Muslims and Croats and made them attack Serbians and their property. Milosevic didn't order Croat leader Tudjman to say out loud how he is glad that his wife is neither Serbian nor Jewish, while standing as the leader of NAZI loving Ustasa as they were returning from exile.
Yes, the West is unfair, it has been for a long time, double standards, hypocrisy, no rule of law but a rule of the strongest, no respect for history, no respect for reality as it was, just a neverending lust for power which will be their own demise in the end. And your own, for choosing to place all your hopes and dreams in such insane and unjust hands.
Well you had big Serb populations in all former Yugoslav republics. Do you know how many Serbs had to leave their homes because of independences?
@vukasinmileusnic2481 milosevic chose his faith! Look what happened to his allegedly good friend ivan stambolic. Stambolic helped milosevic before he was unknown by the public, and milosevic had stambolic killed. Milosevic could have stopped supporting the separatist in croatia and bosnia. He chose not to. It could have led to lifting the sanctions and isolation. In the 1990s, serbians needlessly suffered, because milosevic chose to support martic and babic, or karadzic and mladic! He stayed for too long!

Srbi nemaju blizeg od RUSA 🇷🇺❤️🇷🇸
Supporting this Russian invasion of Ukraine is like Supporting the Austria-Hungarian invasion of Serbia in WWI.
Very besides the point....So for bread EU wants Serbia to erase the memory(They want the little girl statue to be removed)
80% of the world is supporting Russia even in Greece the majority support Russia
The joke of the year :))
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527Greece supports Russia against north atlantic terroristic organization.
You are wrong!!😊😊
"Plavi krug i u njemu zvezda"
'A blue circle and a star within'.
It s a quote from famous Serbian novel where a star represents Russia
How you managed to avoit etnic cleansing of Kosovo. From over 90% Serb majority to 5%
Never was a serb region, sorry
@@hoti47 Yeah. It must be Albanian called Stefan ruling there. Ohhh wait..
@milosstevanovic1377 mehmet of the ottomans ruled you too. Does that make you a turk or serbia turkish land?
@@hoti47 By historic books it's Greek first I guess. But on the UN it's Serbia. Why would need Serbian recognition if it wasn't so? It's forcefully taken from Serbia by NATO. It's simply the fact.
@milosstevanovic1377 nope by hystory books it's not first greek. So you have no clue what you are talking about? Ask yourself what did you do wrong that it was "taken" forcfully from serbia. It was actually liberated, not taken. It was part of the yugoslav breakup.
I'm from Serbia and I support Russia

Спасибо!
И без Путина с Z
same kind of mindset
🇷🇺 Russia should have just annexed 🇷🇸 Serbia (the one country which actually wants to be a part of Russia) instead of invading 🇺🇦 Ukraine.
Serbia would have happily joined Russia, no questions asked.
So Russia is invading, anexing Ukraine, and nato is peace keeper on Serbian holy land Kosovo, rich of thousands billions USD minerals, which is the main reason you gave them puppet state status, luckily not recognized by majority of the Earth. Double standards! And how you know what Serbia want?
Exactly
Nope, we don't want to be part of Russia at all. We would love to team up with them, but not be a part of them.
Who told you that serbia wants to be part of russia?? Serbia wants help from Russia to free its territory of nato occupator just like ukraine wants oppositte.. is anything unclear to you here?
Serbia is not a newly created communist country, but a country that has existed for several centuries longer than Russia. So no, we don't want to be part of Russia. We can only be allies
Serbia, as well as Russia, is torn apart between pro-westernes and 'traditionalists'. I hope though that Serbia will end the ressentiment of the Yugoslavian war and will not let the past to prevent its future just like it happened in Russia.
🤢🤮🤢🤮don’t delete my comment! Where is the freedom of speech! Hallo
What is Kosovar ? Can you define that ?
The Serbs should take note in the contrast between the support they received from Russia when attacked by NATO and the support Ukraine has received from NATO from being attacked by Russia obviously there are geographic factors yet time to quietly assess the reality
The Serbs should not be identifying with the genocidal Milosevic government that was bombed by NATO. That would be like Germany resenting America for D-Day.
Serbs not support genocide challenge (impossible)
@@AL-lh2ht grow up Serbia has moved on from the 1990s milosovic era and so should you
Russia was in a bad state. The country was being eaten alive by the criminals/oligarchs. It only survive because Putin came to power and started killing off the criminals.
@@charlesburgoyne-probyn6044not even true. The vast majority of Serbs support “greater Serbia”. If it wasn’t for the fact that their neighbors are in NATO, Serbia would have invaded them a long time ago.
When someone talks about your country. Bunch of Shepards came down with sticks and took part of Byzantine empire. Why not?
Just think before you start talking
Americans are not exactly enough interested to learn Serbian they read their medias and believe them so why should they bother
Yea Milosevic is fold, but Croatians and Bosniaks wanted just an independent ethnic states, with out Serbs
