Yes, as Ukraine was at the western border of the Soviet Union, it was ruined by that war much more than Russia actually. All 4 years of the war were exactly on our territory. One of my grandfathers spent 4 years on the second world war2 and one more year near the border with Japan. My grandmother’s house was fully burned by nazi army. But Russia took all the regalia to themselves for the World War 2. Russians also depreciated the role of the USA in that War..
It's a truth. I think, every ukrainian family has its own difficult story about that war. Ukraine lose too much lifes. And we must tell about it, the world must know
Also, during the times of Kyivan Rus, there were more Kyivs than London, for example, Anna Yaroslavivna was the great-grandmother of 150 kings of Europe. It was she who brought hygiene and literacy to France, which ensured the rapid development of the Middle Ages. Agatha is the queen consort of England, mother of Edgar Aetheling and St. Margaret of Scotland, a nun. The origin of Agatha still causes controversy among researchers. She was probably the daughter of the Grand Duke of Kyiv, Yaroslav the Wise. Most of the archives were destroyed by Moscow and stolen for themselves with the thesis that we and the Russians are one people. In fact, very little is said about Ukraine, and the Slavists are often paid by Moscow's corrupt money to falsify history.
This is the irony of fate. We gave up our entire nuclear arsenal in exchange for guarantees of integrity. But later these guarantees were violated by the signatory country itself. This treaty was probably the biggest mistake in the entire history of Ukraine...
And Russia also took all the debts of the Soviet Union. And also if provoking guarantees will not help. You have been asked for 8 years to stop bombing civilians in a good way.

5M civilians were killed not only by Hitler. Both Hitler and Stalin worked hard. After Smolensk battle the order "not a single step behind" was issued by Stalin and then polished additionally by Zhukov. 200 000 soldiers gave up near Smolensk. All their families were killed or imprisoned for many years. Furthermore, special security service stood behind soldiers. Their work was to kill everyone who ran, no matter how much useless the defeated battalion's last unit was. That is how we've got this number - 5M
Thanks for the support. I'm glad that more people are interested in our history. The buggest dream for most of the Ukrainians is peace, a real one, and a possibility to grow and develop our country

And thank you for helping us so much today when one of the "guarantors of our integrity and independence" took away our nuclear arsenal and then stabbed us in the back.

Thank You for sharing information about our history. We have difficult and long way to our freedom. We just want to be Ukraine, it's true. And i'm gratefull to everyone who supports us.
All the same, very little was said about the Soviet repressions. I can tell more interesting facts. In 1918, Ukrainians were occupied by the USSR but did not surrender. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army fought simultaneously with three regimes. At the same time, they fought with the Poles, with the Germans, and with Moscow. One of the UIA generals who after the war fought against the Moscow regime, Shukhevych, could not be caught for more than 8 years, and 1,500 people were sent to catch him. And he did not give up on them. One of the veterans of the UIA died this month. He was more than 100 years old. They knew they would lose, but still fought for Ukraine. The largest wars in the world passed through Ukraine. Only in the last 100 years, the first and second world wars took place across Ukraine, and now this one is one of the biggest.
it's our sad history. starting only from the beginning of 20 century-struggle wits soviets, struggle with Hitler, struggle with our own government, and now wiht russia. every time we are loosing a huge number of our people, the best part of our people. we don't know, when it will ends. sad, but true. p.s. sorry in advance for my english
one thing this video did not show is what in 2014 , immediately following the Euromaidan protest movement and subsequent Revolution of Dignity, protests by pro-Russian, anti-government separatist groups arose in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, collectively called the Donbas. These demonstrations began around the same time as Russia's annexation of Crimea and were part of wider pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine. Declaring the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR, respectively), armed Russian-backed separatist groups seized government buildings throughout the Donbas, leading to armed conflict with Ukrainian government forces and this war has been going on since 2014 .with the war the Donbas killing. 3,404 civilians 4,641 Ukrainian soldiers 6,517 pro Russian fighters 1,6 million Ukrainians haven fled in nation
Wrong info based on Russian propaganda sources: Ukraine does not mean borderland. It means in-land. Or inner country. It is not a new nation but is over 1000 years old. Its first real modern independence was in 1917. Then, it was crushed.Poland and Finland stayed independent. But not Ukraine. Brits like calling new nations countries which regained independence. Btw, the guy you saw in the beginning was not a ´´ king´´. He was just wearing traditional Cossack clothes.
мне кажется, что такая подача материала скорее запутает, чем пояснит ситуацию иностранцу... но все же имеет место быть. одно хорошо бы уяснить: вся история от поселения первых племен связана с борьбой за свободу. поэтому сломить этот дух невозможно. оно на генетическом уровне
Світ не бачив через російську пропаганду,що ми боролись не з власною владою,а не допускали впливу росії на нашу владу і країну. І через нашу незламність росія напала на нас 9 років тому і один рік тому "офіційно". Україна існувала до московії, ми навчили їх писати і читати, захищали їх в другій світовій війні. А вони нація брехунів, грабіжників і вбивць - усю їх історію, яку вони приховують. Вони навіть не словяни, бо руськими почали називатись вкравши нашу назву Русь.
most Jews lived in Poland and Ukraine before the Second World War, Ukraine is the center of Orthodox Jews, every second synagogue has the Ukrainian name of the city, Orthodox Jews make a pilgrimage to the Ukrainian city of Uman every year By the way, the President of Ukraine, Mr. Zelensky, is a Jew and jews know how to fight overwhelming enemies this war, which is going on now, is already the twenty-fifth war between Kyiv and Moscow and basically all the biggest wars between the West and the East, the North and the South take place on Ukrainian territories. Tribes what form Ukrainians - Cimmerians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Goths, Huns, Slavic tribes, but in the end Kyivan Rus was a Viking state, a Cossack state there was a democratic no-slavery no-serfdom state around of self-organized army
We are fighting for freedom many centuries. You can learn about elder history like about Russian Empire and Rzeczpospolita(Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). We lost our independence at XIII century(Rus - is our initial country name. From Greek - Rossia. So(!) even country name Russia just stolen from us). Then we had like a "similarity to country" called Zaporozhian Sich that mostly consisted of army and farmers in Rzeczpospolita period. Then Moskovia(europenian part of modern Russia. Moskovia is an original name of "Russia", but not - "Russia") occupied Ukrainian part of Rzeczpospolita and called themselves - Russian Empire. And then only at 1917-1921 years we had Ukrainian Nation Republic, then 1991 - Ukraine. And of course, Russian Federation still pretend on our territory, thinking that Ukraine is - Russia. But the irony that its TRUE. Yes, its true that Russia = Ukraine. But modern territory and people of Russia - is not Russia😄, they are Moskovia with another history and ethnos(mostly Scandinavians - Finno-Ugrians and ancestors of the Golden Horde), but NOT Slavs. But they want to pretend on our history and people and always did it. 99% of russians dont even know their real history, they are drowned in propaganda starting from Russian Empire...
Ukrainian historian (and since recently - a soldier) here. By far not the best video on Ukraine's history to learn from. Not clear how the war started, why Ukrainians started a revolution in 2014, why Russia attacked, even though that revolution had nothing to do with Russia.
Ukraine is a beautiful and peaceful country. But if someone spills Ukrainian blood here, this place will become his grave. We are not fighting for ourselves, we are fighting for us
the author seems to be so much surprised by our history and our place in the world's history. The thing is you have always heard of ussr and russia, while in fact everything they had was based on Ukraine. You still have stereotypes you got from the ussr. Time to tell the world the truth!!!
This video shows only facts that are almost unrelated to each other. From this you will not understand what is happening, happened and what is the logic and motive of all these events. But for that now you know a little more interesting things, thanks for the video :)
Also, one thing to remember when watching that video is that video ( the original, not the reaction ) has been made in 2014, before Donbass war, and before the russian invasion
There is a reason for our, let's call it" fighting karma" - our location. Being a neighbor to a crazy formation, whether it is called the Soviet Union, Russian Empire, or Russia - they needed destruction around them to distract their own people from the fact, that their leaders don't give a damn about people's lives. Have you ever heard about Russian medicine is the best? Or their education? No, because they don't invest in development. Do you know what Russian soldiers keep steeling from the houses in occupied territories? Toilets, and washing machines, and I am not kidding - they really consider it is trophy. They need chaos to sustain their lifestyle - constant expectations for a lighter future. And no need to blame only Putin, he is a sadistic bastard and freaking mad, but 83% of their population support his actions. We really appreciate the support of other countries, and especially yours. We realize, it would be better for your country to spend whatever your government is giving to Ukraine to the needs of your country. However, the fact, that you understand why this help is needed, and agree to sacrifice some of your comfort, means alot. Your decision gives the opportunity for your lawmakers to help us. We are not asking to fight our battles, but the help your are giving is really appreciated and used to its highest effiiciency
This BBC peace leaves a lot of critical information out. And how much the Ukrainians are DONE with russia isn’t explained. It’s an old piece, so it’s kinda understandable, but still, a LOT missing
The war started from the very beginning: Our people defending themselves from Persian kings, Roman empire, Greek, Vikings, Khazars kaganat, Turkey sultanate, Mongolian horde, and then the Moscow appearance started most bloody wars against us , since 1240 we had no peaceful decade. There was a hope in 1991 but we see now: they will not stop the genocide unless we do.
"05.11.2022 - today is the 254th day of the nine-year war that has lasted for centuries" - in my opinion very accurately. Moscow wants to appropriate our history and become the "heir" of Kievan Rus, "but one nuance interferes with this narrative. The existence of Ukraine. After February 24, I saw a video where the term "Rus" is simply used in new school history books, because ruZZians are propaganda not to say. But the fact is the fact - the capital was Kyiv.
I took this list from the Russian Wikipedia. (That is, these are the facts that even Russians admit; in real, it started much earlier and there are much more cases) Stages of oppression of the Ukrainian language[3][1][2]: 1622. Order of Tsar Mikhail Romanov, at the suggestion of the Moscow Patriarch Filaret, to burn in the Russian state all copies of Stavrovetsky's Teaching Gospel printed in Little Russia. 1690. Anathema of the Russian Orthodox Church on church books printed in the then Ukrainian literary language[4][5]. 1720. Decree of Peter I on the prohibition of printing books in the Ukrainian language in the Kiev-Pechersk and Chernihiv printing houses[6][7]. 1764. Instruction of Catherine II on the Russification of Ukraine, Smolensk region, the Baltic countries and Finland[8]. 1769. Decree of the synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on the confiscation of Ukrainian primers and Ukrainian church books from the population[9]. 1784. Complete ban on primary education in the Ukrainian language. 1786. Prohibition of the use of the Ukrainian language in church services and teaching in Ukrainian at the Kiev-Mohyla Academy. 1831. Cancellation of the Magdeburg law in the cities, which made it impossible to conduct legal proceedings in the Ukrainian language. 1862. Ukrainian Sunday schools are closed. The publication of the Ukrainian literary and scientific-political journal "Osnova" has ceased. 1863. Valuev circular: "There was no special Little Russian language, there is not and cannot be." 1914. Decree of Nicholas II on the ban on the Ukrainian press [source not specified 118 days]. 1922. The liquidation of "Prosvita" in the Kuban, in Zeleny Klin and in other places of residence of Ukrainians. 1933. Stalin's telegram on the cessation of Ukrainization and the destruction of most Ukrainian writers [source not specified 216 days]. 1938. Decree of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) on the compulsory study of the Russian language in the schools of the republic. 1939. After the liberation of Western Ukraine - the closure of Ukrainian and the opening of Russian schools. 1958. Decree of the Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU on the transition of Ukrainian schools to the Russian language of instruction. On September 17, 1959, the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR adopted the corresponding Decree [source not specified 216 days]. 1970. Order of the Ministry of Education of the USSR on the writing and defense of all dissertations only in Russian. Approval only in Moscow. 1978. Board of the Ministry of Education of the Ukrainian SSR. Directive "On the improvement of the study of the Russian language in Ukrainian schools"[10]. 1979. Tashkent conference - "Russian language - the language of friendship between peoples" [11]. 1983. Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union "On improving the study of the Russian language in the schools of the republics." Surcharge for Russian language of teaching 15% and division of classes.
Все, померла України i слава, і воля ... Сракою до нас, панове, повернулась Доля. Нема згоди нам з Росієй, як роси на Сонці, Тільки харі галицийські маячаь в віконці. Душу й тіло відамо ми за Єврокредити ... Тільки грощі ті, як завжди, заберуть бандити. Станьмо, браття, спільно раком до Євросоюзу, Поварнякавши тихенько, та підмивши гуза ... Не побачим ми ніколи ні Донбас, ні Крима, Та й і Харьків, і Одеса прочвалають мимо. Душу й тіло відамо ми за Єврокредити ... Тільки грощі ті, як завжди, заберуть бандити.
One fact they didn't mention is that Russia was the only one with the access codes for the old soviet nukes. Ukraine wanted to get rid of them because they didn't have control over the nukes on their own territory
Also one more tragic piece of history is skipped here is artificial famine (don't know the exact word in English) which also caused millions of deather in Ukraine in the 20th century. It was done by the Soviet Union. You can look for the information about that probably you will be shocked again.

Unfortunately, your opinion is wrong. Having studied the true history of Ukraine and Russia, you would understand that the USA is useless here... The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for centuries!

Then we had like a "similarity to country" called Zaporozhian Sich that mostly consisted of army and farmers in Rzeczpospolita period. Then Moskovia(europenian part of modern Russia. Moskovia is an original name of "Russia", but not - "Russia") occupied Ukrainian part of Rzeczpospolita and called themselves - Russian Empire. And then only at 1917-1921 years we had Ukrainian Nation Republic, then 1991 - Ukraine. And of course, Russian Federation still pretend on our territory, thinking that Ukraine is - Russia. But the irony that its TRUE. Yes, its true that Russia = Ukraine. But modern territory and people of Russia - is not Russia😄, they are Moskovia with another history and ethnos(mostly Scandinavians - Finno-Ugrians and ancestors of the Golden Horde), but NOT Slavs. But they want to pretend on our history and people and always did it. 99% of russians dont even know their real history, they are drowned in propaganda starting from Russian Empire...
Забыл упомянуть, что Украина колыбель человечества, и чёрное море выкопали, и на Кавказе горы навалили. 🤦🏼♀️

Ukrainian historian (and since recently - a soldier) here. By far not the best video on Ukraine's history to learn from. Not clear how the war started, why Ukrainians started a revolution in 2014, why Russia attacked, even though that revolution had nothing to do with Russia.
It had everything to do with Russia! Research more.
@@garyklimitchek45 Research more? LOL. I PARTICIPATED in that revolution ;)
Ukraine is a beautiful and peaceful country. But if someone spills Ukrainian blood here, this place will become his grave. We are not fighting for ourselves, we are fighting for us
the author seems to be so much surprised by our history and our place in the world's history. The thing is
you have always heard of ussr and russia, while in fact everything they had was based on Ukraine. You still have stereotypes you got from the ussr. Time to tell the world the truth!!!
i dont know english so good, cant say many words, but what i can say - its thanks for support Ukraine. we need freedom...
Thank you! Was interesting. (Though too short and missing important details :).
4:55 yeah, bro, we are suffered enough of ruzzians. Greetings from Ukraine
This video shows only facts that are almost unrelated to each other. From this you will not understand what is happening, happened and what is the logic and motive of all these events. But for that now you know a little more interesting things, thanks for the video :)
There are lectures of Timothy Snyder from Yale Univ on Ukraine, pretty interesting
Він вже давно досліджує Україну,на Ютубі є цікаві відео 😊
Also, one thing to remember when watching that video is that video ( the original, not the reaction ) has been made in 2014, before Donbass war, and before the russian invasion

I hope our long-suffering land and people will be able to work again for the development and improvement of our country and the world as a whole
💕 USA from Ukraine
Thanks for support Ukraine!
we did not have our own state for a long time, but we had a nation under different countries. The worst coloniser and oppresor is definitely Russia
There is a reason for our, let's call it" fighting karma" - our location. Being a neighbor to a crazy formation, whether it is called the Soviet Union, Russian Empire, or Russia - they needed destruction around them to distract their own people from the fact, that their leaders don't give a damn about people's lives. Have you ever heard about Russian medicine is the best? Or their education? No, because they don't invest in development. Do you know what Russian soldiers keep steeling from the houses in occupied territories? Toilets, and washing machines, and I am not kidding - they really consider it is trophy. They need chaos to sustain their lifestyle - constant expectations for a lighter future. And no need to blame only Putin, he is a sadistic bastard and freaking mad, but 83% of their population support his actions. We really appreciate the support of other countries, and especially yours. We realize, it would be better for your country to spend whatever your government is giving to Ukraine to the needs of your country. However, the fact, that you understand why this help is needed, and agree to sacrifice some of your comfort, means alot. Your decision gives the opportunity for your lawmakers to help us. We are not asking to fight our battles, but the help your are giving is really appreciated and used to its highest effiiciency
This BBC peace leaves a lot of critical information out. And how much the Ukrainians are DONE with russia isn’t explained. It’s an old piece, so it’s kinda understandable, but still, a LOT missing
What are you talking about ?
The war started from the very beginning:
Our people defending themselves from Persian kings, Roman empire, Greek, Vikings, Khazars kaganat, Turkey sultanate, Mongolian horde, and then the Moscow appearance started most bloody wars against us , since 1240 we had no peaceful decade.
There was a hope in 1991 but we see now: they will not stop the genocide unless we do.
It's important to remember that Yanukovich ran away from Ukraine and then was legally impeached the Ukrainian parliament
I must inform you that Måneskin have had 4 sould out shows in the US. Seattle, WA.and 3 in Californa. 2 in San Francisco and 1 LA.
Our country history starts from 6-7 century but here (in video) only 20th century...
that way you can know what you don't know
♥ I think you'd like WWII by Oversimplified. They do a great job at making history quickly digestible.
you should definitely watch world war two in 39 minutes.
a good ''documentary''
why does it start from USSR, and not with Kyiv Rus, that is, from the 9th century?
"05.11.2022 -
today is the 254th day of the nine-year war that has lasted for centuries" - in my opinion very accurately.
Moscow wants to appropriate our history and become the "heir" of Kievan Rus, "but one nuance interferes with this narrative. The existence of Ukraine.
After February 24, I saw a video where the term "Rus" is simply used in new school history books, because ruZZians are propaganda not to say. But the fact is the fact - the capital was Kyiv.
I took this list from the Russian Wikipedia. (That is, these are the facts that even Russians admit; in real, it started much earlier and there are much more cases)
Stages of oppression of the Ukrainian language[3][1][2]:
1622. Order of Tsar Mikhail Romanov, at the suggestion of the Moscow Patriarch Filaret, to burn in the Russian state all copies of Stavrovetsky's Teaching Gospel printed in Little Russia.
1690. Anathema of the Russian Orthodox Church on church books printed in the then Ukrainian literary language[4][5].
1720. Decree of Peter I on the prohibition of printing books in the Ukrainian language in the Kiev-Pechersk and Chernihiv printing houses[6][7].
1764. Instruction of Catherine II on the Russification of Ukraine, Smolensk region, the Baltic countries and Finland[8].
1769. Decree of the synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on the confiscation of Ukrainian primers and Ukrainian church books from the population[9].
1784. Complete ban on primary education in the Ukrainian language.
1786. Prohibition of the use of the Ukrainian language in church services and teaching in Ukrainian at the Kiev-Mohyla Academy.
1831. Cancellation of the Magdeburg law in the cities, which made it impossible to conduct legal proceedings in the Ukrainian language.
1862. Ukrainian Sunday schools are closed. The publication of the Ukrainian literary and scientific-political journal "Osnova" has ceased.
1863. Valuev circular: "There was no special Little Russian language, there is not and cannot be."
1914. Decree of Nicholas II on the ban on the Ukrainian press [source not specified 118 days].
1922. The liquidation of "Prosvita" in the Kuban, in Zeleny Klin and in other places of residence of Ukrainians.
1933. Stalin's telegram on the cessation of Ukrainization and the destruction of most Ukrainian writers [source not specified 216 days].
1938. Decree of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) on the compulsory study of the Russian language in the schools of the republic.
1939. After the liberation of Western Ukraine - the closure of Ukrainian and the opening of Russian schools.
1958. Decree of the Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU on the transition of Ukrainian schools to the Russian language of instruction. On September 17, 1959, the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR adopted the corresponding Decree [source not specified 216 days].
1970. Order of the Ministry of Education of the USSR on the writing and defense of all dissertations only in Russian. Approval only in Moscow.
1978. Board of the Ministry of Education of the Ukrainian SSR. Directive "On the improvement of the study of the Russian language in Ukrainian schools"[10].
1979. Tashkent conference - "Russian language - the language of friendship between peoples" [11].
1983. Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union "On improving the study of the Russian language in the schools of the republics." Surcharge for Russian language of teaching 15% and division of classes.
The question is purely rhetorical: "If Ukraine and the Ukrainian language" does not exist, "then what did they prohibit all the time? ??
Киев старый очень город, украинского языка тогда ещё не было. Украинский язык появился после Захвата этих земель поляками и литовцами
Это было примерно в те года, когда на территории москвы было просто болото

7:20 well this didn't just started out of nothing to overthrow Yanukovich
ruZZi war against Ukraine began in 2004
So damn good statement at the end of the video, man. Thank you for this one 💪
Sorry, but that video was nothing. That video didn’t show how Ukrainians have been fighting russia off for centuries
Все, померла України i слава, і воля ...
Сракою до нас, панове, повернулась Доля.
Нема згоди нам з Росієй, як роси на Сонці,
Тільки харі галицийські маячаь в віконці.
Душу й тіло відамо ми за Єврокредити ...
Тільки грощі ті, як завжди, заберуть бандити.
Станьмо, браття, спільно раком до Євросоюзу,
Поварнякавши тихенько, та підмивши гуза ...
Не побачим ми ніколи ні Донбас, ні Крима,
Та й і Харьків, і Одеса прочвалають мимо.
Душу й тіло відамо ми за Єврокредити ...
Тільки грощі ті, як завжди, заберуть бандити.

One fact they didn't mention is that Russia was the only one with the access codes for the old soviet nukes. Ukraine wanted to get rid of them because they didn't have control over the nukes on their own territory
Hi, thank you for this. Please watch something more fresh, I'm from Ukraine, it's not a full history view perspective.
Little bit old the vid
🇺🇦
🇺🇦💪
Also one more tragic piece of history is skipped here is artificial famine (don't know the exact word in English) which also caused millions of deather in Ukraine in the 20th century. It was done by the Soviet Union. You can look for the information about that probably you will be shocked again.
Also recommend you this historic video. Slightly longer, but not too much.

Вот такие "5-минутные исторические фильмы" и порождают бардак в головах людей. Хорошо, если ты человек из другого мира - так посмотри хотя бы несколько вариантов "истории". А то выясняется, что ты вообще толком ничего не знаешь и делаешь выводы по таким вот роликам. А потом и возникают всякие ситуации, когда люди вообще не понимают что к чему в этом мире------------------
Они ничего не знают, и знать не хотят. Прав был Задорнов.....
Ось ще варіант історії України за 5хвилин ruclips.net/video/BhuWhgS_HlA/видео.html
so naive
in Indonesia we have popular idiom that fits to this war : elephants fight against elephants, but the mouse that die in the middle
This idiom actually for every situation when 2 big egos with power fight each other, the regular, weak ppl are actually become the real victims
When two powerful politicians fight, the citizen will be the victim in the middle
When father and mother fight each other, the kids are actually the victim
in this case of war ... it's actually a war between Russia vs NATO (US) ... but Ukraine that got the impact, and become the victim
Unfortunately, your opinion is wrong. Having studied the true history of Ukraine and Russia, you would understand that the USA is useless here... The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for centuries!
Russian's narrative

You may find a lot of unknown fact simply going to Wikipedia with "Ukraine" searching
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine - Ukraine fughting for many centuries. And what was staying this man in the video,. was just a small part of this fighting - our blessed land always was as the most tasty piece of pie for most of neighborhood (i mean regional neighbors).
Even i was surprised to know that western Ukraine became a USSR only during WW2 and now mor than ever makes sense Ukrainian rebel army and their activities
