    The lesson for us is that in this part of Europe being neutral is not going to get you far as a country. The constant balancing between Tsardom of Russia, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottomans slowly sapped the Hetmanate whose independence was ended by the Empire of Russia. Playing all sides in international relations only works for a limited time.

      @@ThisNinjaSays_ "History favors the victors and the powerful" which explains why the Byzantine Empire (later Roman Empire) was almost unknown to most people until recent years with the rise of youtube bringing attention to those that eventually lost. What hurt the populuarity of the Byzantine Empire is that the world became dominated by France and England so in the west we heard mostly their stories. At the same time, Byzantine was defeated by the Muslim Ottomans so the Islamic world wasn't as interested in continuing the stories of Byzantine Empire. And most of Eastern Europe pivoted to Russia in terms of carrying on the orthodox Christian history.
      And the US would later become the country that joined and surpassed England and France. But since US history comes from England, the US teaching of history was somewhat aligned with England. And English & Americans have always been fascinated by French due to the many ways and later alliances so that helps in terms of French history popularity in US and UK.

      Don't forget about human sufferings
      For instance, actions, like were in Battle of Stavishche, in which completely burned the town, murdering all its residents, weren't singe event.
      After the battle of Berestechko, as a result of the punitive campaign of the Poles to the east, there were huge losses of the Ukrainian population. In the 1650s, the population of Ukraine became smaller than at the end of the 16th century. Bratslavshchina, Volyn and Galicia lost about 40-50% of the population.
      In 1654/55, the Tatars took the side of the crown army and devastated 270 villages and towns in Podolia alone, burned at least a thousand churches, and killed 10 thousand children.
      Report of a Polish officer of the time, describing the devastation: " I estimate that the number of infants alone who were found dead along the roads and in the castles reached 10,000. I ordered them to be buried in the fields and one grave alone contained over 270 bodies... All the infants were less than a year old since the older ones were driven off into captivity. The surviving peasants wander about in groups, bewailing their misfortune"
      In the autumn of 1655, the Swedish army, moving to Lviv, burned down all the villages and towns along the road of movement in a strip of 30-60 km. In parallel, there was a corps of Crimean, Nogai, Belgorod and Budzhatsk Tatars, which devastated the lands from Kyiv to Kamenets-Podolsk.

    While Catherine the Great was partially known for Russification, there is an interesting history of an influx of Germans into the area as well. While Crimean-Goths had lingered on the peninsula for centuries, partially integrating into the Tatars & Pontic Greeks, those new west-germanic settlers would found dozens of towns that would exist until this day even with historical events in between that would see Germans either flee or actively being ethnically purged & deported to Siberia.

    Unfortunately, it is true that the Swedish army was demoralized, lacked provisions and even ammunition before the Poltava battle. This is well described by Peter England in his book Poltava. The Swedes were simply too weak and Charlse was too ambitious. Peter England writes that large reinforcements of men, food and ammunition from Sweeden were defeated somewhere in Ukraine by Russians and and small Cossack allied army didn't reached Charlse before the decisive Poltava battle.

So it would be the same as saying Ukrainian. The Cossacks saw themselves and the people they ruled as distinct from the Russians (Moscovites).

This would be the case until the 20th century after which the term would mean only Rusyn. This is in contrast to the use of the term in the centuries before that where it meant all of the Rus'. The time period where it meant all Rus' is were the terms White Ruthenia / White Rus' (Belarus / Беларусь), Red Ruthernia and Carpathian Ruthenia come from. Ironically the only people nowadays called Ruthenians are those from Zakarpattia/Carpathian Ruthenia, the Rusyn. During the 17th century people already differentiate between the White Ruthenians (Belarusians) and the other Ruthenians, there was no differentiation between the Rusyn and Ukrainians at that time yet.

And the attitude towards them was really the same. The Don Cossacks also constantly rebelling. It's just that the Don Cossacks were never part of the Hetmanate. Therefore, over time, their paths began to diverge. It's just that the Don Cossacks, unlike the Zaporozhians, never had a choice with whom to interact (war, alliances, diplomacy). There were Poles and Tatars near the Zaporozhians, and the Don was completely under Moscow.

      @Anton_Danylchenko Год назад +22

      The same Ruthenians/Ukrainians inhabited those lands to the west of Hetmanate. After the truce of Andrusovo their land became part of Poland without any autonomy. They rebelled several times but were suppressed by both Poland and Russia. Later Poland was partitioned and Russia took most of Ukrainian ethnic territory except for the western one that became part of Austro-Hungary. In XIX century both Russian-controlled and Austrian-controlled parts of Ukraine faced Ukrainian cultural revival. But Russia quickly suppressed it and banned Ukrainian language - they planned to assimilate Ukrainians into Russians. Later after WWI Ukrainian states declared independence in both Russian-controlled and Austrian-controlled parts of Ukraine but were defeated and suppressed by Russians and Poles and divided between USSR and Poland. Later USSR capture most of Polish-controlled part of Ukraine, while westernmost regions remained in Poland and Ukrainians were deported from there.
      As for lands of Southern Ukraine they were sparsely populated and inhabited by Cossacks, Nogays and Crimean Tatars. Northern part of that region was controlled by Zaporizhian Cossacks, while southern part was controlled by Crimean khanate - the Ottoman vassal. In XVIII-XIX centuries Ukrainian peasants resettled there in big numbers and by the end of XIX century those lands became Ukrainian ethnic lands. Russia tried to resettle other people to those lands (Germans, Serbs, Romanians) in order to decrease Cossack influence but they were mostly assimilated by Ukrainians. Russia "founded" new big cities on the place of captured/destroyed Cossack/Tatar/Ottoman settlements and resettled Russians there.

Samoylovych was not very willing to help the Moscovite army but he kinda had to (no one knew southern Ukraine better than Cossack rangers). The straw that broke the camel's back was when Tartars set the steppe on fire and the attacking army literally got lost and choking in the solid scorching summer smoke. Samylovych somehow lost or hurt his sight and was very pissed so Golitsyn who had being bragging he would conquer Crimea needed a scapegoat to blame for his failure. So he took care of Samoylovych and after some intrigues got him exiled to Tobolsk.

However, amongst other accents carefully placed in this series with the purpose of slightly (or sometimes not) overemphasizing the Ukrainian cause, all the while forgetting about the Russian one and additionally demonizing Russia, the usage of the word Novorussia you have presented in the video is incorrect: actually, Novorussia is the primarily steppe territory to the south of Ukraine and Zaporizhia stretching from Moldova to Don. Until the second half of 18th century it belonged to the Crimean Tatars and Turks and then was conquered by Russia and colonised primarily by Russians with the participation of Ukrainians, Serbs, Germans, Cossacks and Armenians, never being part of Ukraine both culturally and administratively until the creation of the German Empire's Ukrainian puppet state in 1918. Meanwhile, Ukraine's name in Russian Empire and before was Malorussia, with no intentions of thinking of Ukraine as "New Russia", but "Small Russia".

I support Ukraine’s continued existence as a sovereign, independent democratic nation. I look forward to your future videos on the current illegal Russian occupation and war. Really hoping that the counteroffensive starting in spring and moving through summer and potentially even fall will take back their entire country, including the stolen Crimea. Although I am worried how Russia will react if they begin losing the war or after they’ve lost the war. They tend to behave similar to some countries in the Middle East (such as Iran), or like North Korea… They seem like little children, trying to act like adults. And we all know that children can lash out when they don’t get their way.

      Like the Americans in Vietnam. When they were unable to defeat the Vietcong in the south, they responded like angry children by massively bombing North Vietnam and Laos, killing hundreds of thousands of people. And in the end, after ten years of war, they withdrew anyway, so the result was the same.

    Shouldn't Kyiv be called Kiev in this video?
    As far as I'm aware Ukraine renamed Kiev into Kyiv in last decade. Was it called that way during Hetmanate in 17 century?

    • @KingsandGenerals
      @KingsandGenerals  Год назад +10

      Both are English transliterations. At that point, Russians used Киев or Киевъ, Ukrainians Київ. The word probably comes from Кий - the name of the legendary founder of the city, and both versions of the name probably mean "belonging to Кий", "of Кий".

    • @WangAiHua

      No, the name was and is still Київ (Kyiv--is the Ukrainian transliteration, Kiev ---is from the RuZZian transliteration, 基輔 in Chinese transliteration).

    The official name russian empire appeared only in 1721. Before that, its name was muscovy, or the moscow kingdom but not russia, as you said.
