Her swedish was spot on, understood exactly 100% of what she was saying. I'm quite confused about the response from Carl Bildt. Today we will take in a massive number of people from Africa and the Middle East but won't take in actual swedes into the country. Keep in mind he was PM only in the 1990's so much has changed since then, but it's still pretty weird not to want to accept actual Swedes, speaking Swedish into Sweden.
It is totally grotesque that Sweden has denied old Swedes and Swedish speakers in and come into Sweden; especially when you look at how many of other ethnic origins have immigrated to Sweden in the last 30 years. But I could well understand her Swedish even though I am Danish.
No it isnt grotesque at all. What is considered is not a personens genetics or language skills but if they need to seek refuge or not. But thank you very much for reinforcing my impression of danish people as racist which is in fact what you are doing.
@@appanpappan Racist? I completely do not care what skin color people have. What I am interested in is whether people can behave decently towards other people and the society you live in. In Denmark, there is relocation from many places in the world. But funny enough, it is a few cultures that create problems; continually. Far from all from those cultures; but the problems come from particular cultural circles that are strongly overrepresented in crime statistics. And just for information. I have facebook friends from all over the world; also from the ethnic groups that fill the most in the statistics. So the accusation that I am a racist you can put up where there is darkness in your body.
A great video, Connor! Loved your drone shots, and the history you shared is a wealth of knowledge. Going back home to Odessa next, and hope to meet you someday. Take care!!
Norway took back many descendants of Norwegians who settled on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. They were descendants of fishermen who emigrated in the late 19th century and before 1917. Thanks for interesting travel vlog til den gamle svenske byen. 😁👍
I am SO saddened about what's going on in Ukraine. In 1929 some 800 of the villagers emigrated to Sweden. After several months, about 250 chose to return to their old village for a number of reasons. I think the Swedish Government/Church should, when it is safe, send a boat to resettle them into a rural area of Sweden. This time do it right and keep them together. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammalsvenskby
Gammal-svensk-by means old swedish city. Actually this dialect there is very similar to norwegian nynorsk dialect. I really like it. It's unbelievable that somewhere in Ukraine people still speak swedish. Super cool content, thanks for sharing! Greetings from Poland
Askania Nova is in english New Askania or in German Neu Askanien. Askanien or Anhalt was a Region were the famous former russian queen Ekaterina the Great comes from. Her former name was: Sophie Auguste Friederike von Anhalt-Zerbst. I remember she was the founder of Odessa / Ukraine.
hopefully now they would accept her entrance to sweden if she still wants. hope you're well connor, love seeing your updates from romania. hoping this nightmare ends soon
By seeing the scene at 0:34 and by seeing an ethnic group of Shia-Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan called "Hazara", and by seeing many mongol looking Turkish, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Uzbek, Turkmen, Uyghur, Tatar, Spanish, Israeli, and Hungarian I can tell that Mongol left their biological seeds in many parts of the World...lol.
I am actually quite happy you are making videos on this historical context, I just find it ridiculous that you have people from Pakistan, Africa, and other middle eastern countries easily being given asylum in some western nations, but if the white or east asian/central asian (asian looking) they are rejected. I have friends who are immigration lawyers here in the US, and they have seen numerous times where illegals from haiti(black) or even nigeria or other Africans(black) were given asylum when they have illegally crossed the border, this shit drives me crazy and we all know why it's happening, but hey, we have a saying, to find out who's ruling over you, find who you can't criticize..
SWEDEN ITS NOT LIKE IT WAS BEFORE.I WAS BORN in sweden and live her now.its a rather glomy place nowadays.svenskby is a nice place but i can feel your feelings of russia and now its war in ukraine so maybe you can go to sweden ha det bra
Sweden joined the EU in 1995. Sweden is therefore bound by EU regulations in terms of migration. There is a difference between 1, seeking asylum and 2, planned migration due to work/studies/family reasons. It’s Migrationsverket in Sweden that makes all decisions and anyone outside the EU has to all apply before moving. Anyone seeking asylum is of course always free to do so when entering Sweden. Asylum is also handled by Migrationsverket based on a number of criteria. Residency beyond ca 3 months to a new country is always filled with tons of paper work. Carl Bildt words at the time was surely correct, he’s such a snob lol but he knows his stuff and was as only explaining the situation. He had no say in who was allowed to migrate or not. Swedish government agencies are independent and leaders/politicians aren’t allowed to interfere with their work. And vice versa. There were 3000 Ukrainians that were granted residency in Sweden due to migration reasons and about 20 granted asylum in 2021 so that’s quite a lot actually. These lovely people did migrate from Estonia in the 18th century after Sweden had lost Estonia. Many Svenskbybor or the last Swedish speakers in Estonia (almost 1000 folks) also migrated and settled in Sweden or other parts of the world almost 100 years ago in the 20th century. Sweden has citizenship based on your parent/s citizenship or naturalisation, not historical ancestry/migration x hundreds of years ago, Swedens citizenship laws are not comparable to the German laws. Each country has different laws and views. The EU is working with Ukraine in many ways like easing of visa regulations.
Thanks for the overview of Swedish law. 😀 Ukrainians now also have visa-free to Schengen so Swedish-Ukrainians can go visit Sweden for 90 days every 180 (which is different to the situation in the 1990s). The quirks of each country's immigration laws are a bit arbitrary. Germany doesn't allow ethnic Germans from Brazil to move (unlike those in Romania and the ex-USSR were allowed to do) even though they speak German and maintain the traditions. It would just seem a bit odd in Sweden's case if they were to refuse asylum to ethnic Swedes in the case that Zmiivka were to be invaded by Russia but are open to accepting large numbers of people from other countries with no connection to Sweden (and often with many safe countries to claim asylum in before reaching Sweden).
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience Hey Connor, from the bottom of my heart you are really provoking me to be quite upset with your downright racist idea that genetics or cultural background is any kind of basis for migration. You are clearly a biggot.
@@appanpappan 100% it’s ‘a basis’ for migration hence I can go live in Sweden tomorrow with my Irish passport (and vice versa) as an EU citizen … I didn’t say ethnicity or citizenship was the ‘only basis’ for migration however …
Interesting video... and a good production. I think you need to address the gorilla in the room. It is in the news here in America about Russia intending to invade Ukraine. Your thoughts.
The Askania Nova zoo doesn't exist anymore. Russian troops occupied it fully at the end of 2023 and most animals if not all were sent to Russia and other places. Some of the buildings suffered damaged as far as I know.
The woman at 4:35 looks way different without any make up on her face. So, I guess it's face make up that makes women look ultra pretty most of the time or may be women ruin their God gifted natural facial beauty by keep putting make up products on their faces not realising that those make up products have strong and harmful chemicals.
So because Sweden accepted refugees from the genocide in Bosnia in 1992-93 (a war which was enabled by Great britains appeasement policy - read Unfinest hour by Brendan Simms) we should accept an ukrainian citizen in 1997 when there was no war in Ukraine? Im at a loss to detect any logic in that.
I left it out in the video but I should have contrasted Sweden's policy with Germany's where millions of ethnic Germans were allowed to return to Germany from the recently collapsed Soviet Union in the 1990s ... In the 1920s, Sweden actually allowed people from Gammalsvenskby to move to Sweden but nowadays they don't seem interested in accepting the relatively tiny number of ethnic Swedes there if even their village were to be invaded by Russia ... this seems inconsistent when they are willing to accept 100s of 1,000s of refugees from around the world ... 🤷🏼♂️
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience well it isnt. We gladly, and Im proud to say, accept people fleeing on the basis of humanitarian grounds. If you are fleeing genocide, torture or persecution we accept refugees. Not on the basis that your grandfather emigrated from Sweden in the 1920s as is the case with the people of Gammelsvenskby.
@M J im sorry but i cant follow your trail of thought even for an inch. But I doubt you have ever been to Sweden which is in fact a bloody great country to live in.
- So you don’t see anything?
- I don’t …
- Do I look handsome now?

a very big village - they are right
So sad to think of the situation in that area now for Lilia and other inhabitants

As it turns out, it seems that there’s no problem for all Ukrainians to come to EU 👍🏻
Heloo from Sveden...
Здорово!
so beautiful
I wonder what has happened to Vasia and the other animals now in the war? And all the nice people? :'-( Could they escape in time?
Sadly I fear that they were at best abducted and sent to Russia or they are all dead at this point. 😢 I read that it’s now devoid of its wildlife. ☹️
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience Horrible. :'-(
