Jewish History in Ukrainian Maps

- I recorded this video after Vladimir Putin delivered his February 21 speech denying the historical validity of Ukraine, a clear pretext to the invasion that began a few hours ago. This brief video provides a survey of the long Jewish presence in the region, framed in the context of maps: political, ethnolinguistic, military and social.

Thank you Henry for this very important History Lesson that the World needs to listen too right now. May you be blessed.
He told you the history that fits the current narrative very well... because it is very popular right now..no matter whether it is true or not; he is just riding the wave of popular opinion.
@Orbán Viktor Mihály I heard it was around 33,000 killed in a later of just days, as one example.
Hm, that's the thing about history, one needs to continuously study it and gather more perspectives and "data."
@@alienart777 So what is according to you, the unedited historic account of this area, according to which historic sources?
@Orbán Viktor Mihály If anything has been edited in the historic accounts of the last 300 years it is by Jesuits hands.

How would you feel about NATO shelling your city with tomahawk cruise missles to liberate and protect you from the russians who are also just trying to liberate the non Nazi Ukrainian people from the poi-zionist NATO motherfrackers pimping the country into becoming the (tug of war rope) that pokes the bear --- in njew world order to falsely justify blaming Putin for starting WW3 for the bankster kingpimp War pigs .

You're understated sadness while giving this talk was very moving.
No real history. The Jewish was in all country when they immigrated from middle East ( there is not their territory ) And in 1939 the secret accord Molotov-Ribentrof between Germain and Russia they take many territories from Romania and gave to Ucrainei ( now there are 500 000 Romanians who lives in west part of Ucraina ) , also the parts of Hungary and Poland were gave to Ucrainei. And in the East there are territory from Russia with Russian people who lives there. All these minorities populations don't have the the elementary human being rights to learn their maternal languages in the school , to use their languages in administrations and to keep theirs traditions.... For this reason Ucraina is not recognized by United Nations because there are problems with their frontiers ( not recognized by the neighbors ) . In Kiev was the beginning of Russian knezat. After the capital of Russia moved in Moscow. The ucrIniens speak a dialect of Russian language. They are brothers. But ucrIniens have many hate for all is not ucrainian. For this reason they was more nazy than Germans in second war. Now she must be choice to be neutral because it was Minsk accord where Russia don't want NATO near her. It is like Cuba problem in the past ...
Ukraine is a member of the UN, but you are saying it's not recognized by it? Lol
Ignorant parroting of ruzzian propaganda.
Not a word about the Ukrainian Independent State during WW2 when pogroms were being waged against Jews, Poles and Russians. And most of the pogroms in Ukraine and the Baltic states were not done by German Nazis but by collaborators.

Ukrainian atrocities against Jews:
B. Chmelnitsky pogroms, other pogroms , the atrocities of locals during WW2 including the most horrific ones in Lviv.
Do you know if Ukraine ever condemned them or removed the monuments & teachings glorifying Bogdan Chmelnitsky & alike??
From what I've seen in the press there's been a rise of Neo Nazis in Ukraine (Azov battalion. Plenty of photographs and videos about them online and their military involvement) which has roots from WW2 Nazi regime in Ukraine.
In a media video of protests in Ukraine they even showed a Mayor leading the protest (you wouldn't think anything about it until you research who the person is) who is know to support Adolf Hitler as reported in Jewish media World Jewish Congress, Jewish Post, Times of Israel and Kyiv Post. The video footage is on most MSM channels of the protest in recent days. Here is a quote from one article about him and his party
"Anti-Semitic politician beaten in Ukraine
Former Konotop mayor Artem Semenikhin is known for his neo-Nazi views
A far-right politician belonging to the anti-Semitic Svoboda party was severely beaten in Ukraine last Thursday in an attack his supporters are blaming on political rivals seeking an advantage ahead of the post-Soviet republic’s upcoming parliamentary elections.
According to The Kyiv Post, former Konotop mayor Artem Semenikhin was jumped by several unidentified assailants at 1 a.m. on Thursday and is currently under police guard and in critical condition.
In a post on Facebook, Svoboda party head Oleh Tyahnybok - an outspoken anti-Semite who has previous claimed that a “Russian-Jewish mafia” had taken over Ukraine - called the attack a “political assault” and demanded that “law enforcement agencies carry out an objective and prompt investigation of this crime and punish the perpetrators.” Times of Israel/Kyiv Post

Thank you very much rabbi Abramson for this exhaustive & excellent summary of Ukrainian history.
Before WWI Ukraine was land of Tatars, then Muslims were dispersed by Lenin, Stalin etc

Im sorry but your history on the Cossacks, unfortunately like with a lot of historians who dont pay enough attention to the complexity of the topic, consists largely of myths that are propagated by a russian colonial type history of misrepresentation of their story. The most important thing to point out here is that the Cossacks were not a "band of freed serfs and adventurers" and so on, but mainly an ethnic sub-group within Ukraine that was at the same time multiculturally open to newcomers and so on. They had a unique military-democratic political system and the first european constitution was written there (google it). Another fact that goes down in the broader historical discussion thanks to the neglect of their story in their colonial context. You as well haven't even mentioned the Zaporozian Host as one of the major historical states in Ukraine in your introduction, which was not a "quasi military cowboy like encampment", but a political entity with a permanent population, military and a functioning elected bureaucracy. The painting you are showing is a product of 19th century european political romanticism.
...Also you are pointing out the allegiance of Khmelnytski with Moskow as a kind of "pro-russian turning point" of the Zaporozian Host, but the Cossack state(s) changed allegiances several times in the following years, from Moskow to Poland to the Krimeans, the Swedes and so on. So just a massive misrepresentation on your side, what can I say.
you have your interpretation. Dr Abramson has his. such is history. Maybe time to read or reread War and Peace.
Ok, very interesting. So the pogroms were organized democratically.
Kudos to the highly intelligent, egalitarian, highly functional, democratically elected Cossacks, who massacred half the Jews of Ukraine and Poland, in their spare time no less.
I guess they also excelled in planning and logistics.
Adolph Eichmann would have been proud.
@@lordemed1 not war but a shameful ' special operation' according to the present situation in Ukraine!!!)))))))
You have mentioned a good point, indeed...!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Ukraine was initially Bulgarian! Period. Kazars just appeared in 800 AD and are not ethnic Biblical Jews, but Ashenazi pagans who converted to Judaism. There exist no Russia nor Khazaria prior to 7th c. AD, but Bulgaria Magna.

I have said this in youtube comment sections and many russians have responded saying it isn't a complicated history. They say Ukraine was Russia until the 20th century. Done. Which I honestly can see how they believe that, but culturally, it is very complicated and has been full of turmoil, especially given its geography and resources.
There is NOTHING complicated about ukraine history.
I am Jewish and this guy is doing nothing more than capitalizing on the current events.
Funny how he glossed over Kazaria. .and no mention of Tartaria tells me he is not 100...How can Kazaria be a myth???Thus is the history of the Jewish, Russian ,Ukranian and most of the ppl of that region.

Thank you, Dr. Abramson for a wonderful, sane, level-headed and calm video about the history of Ukraine. I was a history major myself and I applaud your fairness and objectivity. Well done, sir! I am posting your video on my FB page and recommending it to my friends. You have taken a very complicated subject and made it much more understandable.
@Orbán Viktor Mihály He did. But that was not all of Ukraine. That was mostly the Ukrainian Nationalist at the time who betrayed Ukraine and fought for Nazi Germany. Stepan Bandera and his people mostly.
@Orbán Viktor Mihály Did you know that, pro-rata, the highest number of Jews being betrayed to the Nazis in WW2 occurred in The Netherlands? Do you know how many Jews were rounded up by the French, the Austrians, the Hungarians and so on? No-one is suggesting that the Ukrainians were or are all angelic, and given that Dr Abramson's lecture only lasted 35 minutes and covered many centuries, it is hardly surprising that not every tragedy was covered in detail.
The long presence of Jews in the Central European region does not mean that they are Jewish lands.
History tells us that the Jews come from the Middle East and that their Promised Land, their home, is in the Middle East.
Central Europe does not belong to Jews.

The whole world should be grateful to the Jewish people who kept Torah, Midrash, Talmud, Gamarah and the wealth of sacred heritage for everyone, FREE of charge.
Did anyone pay a cent for quoting , praying , educating, teaching others from verses in Torah?
@@Peter-the-Egyptian my friend your statement is somewhat of the definition of an “oxymoronic” one.. please don’t get me wrong as I’m not being patronising nor do I mean to be rude.. YAHUWH knows my heart.
But if the whole world should be “grateful” to the “Jewish people” for keeping the Torah, Midrash, Talmud and Gamarah, etc., then by the very definition of the word “Jewish” which you use, what or who is a “Jew”? Or what makes a “people” “Jewish”?
For example.. ALL “Israelites” are NOT “Jews”. But ALL “Jews” ARE “Israelites”. So which is it that you are referring to as”Jewish People”?
Because YAHUWH made a Covenant with His people, Israel, by giving them HIS TORAH (NOT the Talmud, or Midrash or Gamarra, these of which were referenced to by YaHshua as KEEPING the “TRADITIONS OF MEN”) to the “Israelites” at Mt Sinai to distinguish HIS people from the Nations/Gentiles. The Oracles of YAHUWH were given to Moses to be handed down from generation to generation so as to PRESERVE the Torah of YAHUWH to ALL the Nations who sought to join themselves to Israel.
However, and very Sadly indeed, what we have TODAY, is NOT the case.. at all. Instead we have “Syncretism”. A MIXTURE of Talmudic and Rabbinical “Judaism” mixed with Eastern Orthodox Christianity which is NEITHER “Jewish”, NOR is it “TORAH”… but is one that is a mixture of a “MAN MADE RELIGION”.. with the DOCTRINES AND THE TRADITIONS OF MEN..
IT IS THE YAHUDI (Judah) or the JEWS, who HATE their brothers ISRAEL..(Ephraim and Manasseh) who were dispersed and scattered amongst the nations because of their idolatry of course, and whom NEVER returned to Israel as some of the “JEWS” (house of Judah) did..
BUT make NO MISTAKE my friend, that those same “Jews” that returned to Jerusalem after the captivity into Babylon, are NOT THE SAME “JEWS” that OCCUPY THE LAND OF ISRAEL TODAY.. (May 14th 1948 Zionists “Jews”)
THE KHAZZARS AND THE NAZZI “JEWS” ARE NOT OF THE TRUE SONS OF THE ISRAELITES (children of Jacob) but these are the sons of ISHMAEL AND EASSAU (Jacobs twin brother) who INTERMARRIED and whom are the so called “ARABS” today. The “Arabs” today, cannot, as in “impossible” to, trace their blood line back to ISHMAEL..
These are the same people who crossed over the Jordan and inhabited Jerusalem (West Bank) when Judah (the house of Judah or the true JEWS) were taken into captivity into Babylon. These are the same people whom ALL the HERODS of YaHshua’s day, are from, and who beheaded John The baptist, who ordered the killings of the babes under two years of age, and who finally killed our messiah, YaHshua.. these same people were forced to convert to Judaism, or be killed, by the Romans when ROME conquered Jerusalem...
THESE ARE THOSE WHO ARE OF THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN WHO SAY THEY ARE JEWS, BUT ARE NOT.. Rev 2:9 , 3:9
IN ALEXANDRIA IN ABOUT 285 BC THE TORAH was translated into GREEK.. by 72 Rabbinical Jewish scholars. who although they did everything they could to preserve the TORAH from the “GOYIM” (the gentiles who were not worthy to receive the oracles of YAHUWH in THEIR opinion) also corrupted the Torah by removing THE NAME OF YAHUWH, and so by BLOTTING HIS NAME OUT FOREVER.. substituting THE HOLY NAME FOR THE BAALs and ASTHOROTH the gods of the Sydonians and Babylonians..

My opinion is do not gain knowledge here if you are Christian. There is an effort from the west attempting to destroy the memory if the Monarchy and reality. He only focuses on Jewish resentment and victimhood. There is much more hidden from view. You can look up zelensky in heels a Newsweek article to witness the degeneracy of this Jewish President. Embrace your Christianity and do not be mislead. He speaks of myths but are not myths.

before Kiev, Old Ladoga and Novgorod were capital of Rus respectively and then Kiev was captured from Khazars by Rus and became capital of Rus. Old ladoga and Novgorod are located in Russia. Ukraine means near boarder in Russian. look at the map of Rus, Kiev was near southern border of Rus. Moscow helped to reunite Rus cities again and become like before Mongolian invasion.

Thank you for bringing facts to the understanding of the current situation. Perhaps, the link to the Vikings, Sweden and St Anna of Novogorod got a bit lost.

I am particullarily interested in the develoment of the stat of Novogorod in to Vetje as part of current Sweden and Finland and its exstinction. Lets pray for the best of days ahead after a hopefully long term sustainable resolution of the current situation also including the return of Konstantinopel and Haga Sofia as a ortodox Christian Church. After all, St Anna of Novogorod is not only a Swedish Princess, gross furstinna of Kiev and Novogorod, bu also Swedens first saint. She and her husband rests in th Haga Sofia replica in Kiev. She is the patron saint of the chuch Kreml is aiming at. We may claim tha Ukrain betongs to Sweden as well as Russia belonging to Ukrain.

Interesting, "Rus" doesn't relate to Russia, according to the video (in Serbian, which is close to Russian, "Rus" means exactly "Russian"), but "Russia belongs more to Ukraine", the latter being a word that didn't exist till the mid 19. century. Ukraine never existed as a state in any form before 1922. when it was created by bolsheviks who put into it large swaps of land inhabited by Russian people (most of today's central Ukraine and nearly all of its east). Despite nearly a century of cultivating new "Ukrainian" nation, most of today's (bolshevicks' made) "Ukrainians" are orthodox Christian, speak Russian and feel like having the same roots with the Russians. That includes some 7 million still declaring themselves as Russians. Very biased presentation, and I could go on and on documenting why.
Moj kanal ima jedan video samo za poruke, vidim da vidis kroz lazi. Ako hoces ostavi poruku da popricamo. Pozdrav brate
Wow. This is a part of history I need to study.
Thank you Mr. Abramson, I've always wanted to know more about the Jewish history of the Ukrainian region, Poland, and the Baltic states. Plus, of course, knowing a lot of history about the holocaust. May God bless you.
The people of israel are origin khazar turks 🇹🇷🇮🇱
Thank you so much for shsring this background to the present tragic situation. The bravery and resolve of the Ukrainians has been forged in the anvil of much travail. May the
Shalom of a unified Nation with its meritorious leadership be established and prevail into the years ahead.
people
Thank you very much for this history. My great-grandfather with his family (including my grandfather aged 10) emigrated to the US (on a family passport) from the Kiev region in the 1917-1920 time period, fleeing pograms. Growing up a baby boomer in the US, we tend to live the myth of the “end of history” following the fall of the Soviet Union. Putin reminds us that history indeed stays with us.
My paternal grandparents came here from Kyev just before the birth of my father in 1917
Eric Buckland tks for your comment. Like many Jews my grandparents came from The Pale of Settlement to escape the Pograms. They came from Proskorov in early 1900's and like you I am a baby boomer.
my Grandmother left the Zakarpattia (Galicia) region at the same time. after WW1 this region of Ukraine has seen so much war and invasion and take over. Keep your people. Maternal Grandmother's father fled Russia in 1890
praise the Kind Spirit
as pray for peace somehow.
я щас расплачусь
Thank You
Excellent historical outline - Subscribed!
Sorry about your family in Lithuania. My wife's family was in Stalin's starvation, and in a strange way were saved by the German invasion. What about this premise, this is a civil war between the left and right bank with world powers influencing and inflaming each side.
The word Rus does relate to the word Russia. Can you see the suffix “-sia”, the morpheme added at the end of the word Rus to form the derivative Russia? That Rus was the small core of the future Big (or Great) Russia.
Lech, Czech and Rus.. from the polenz- Where the Slavs come from. I think there's something in Hebrew bible or something that has same name meaning "Red" they mistakenly equate with the Rus of Slavia. They can't fix that in their heads.
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this history.
Incredibly well-informed presentation of the complex history of the region. Many thanks.
actually is very malefic ''informed'' just because it suits you does not mean is true
Very interesting presentation. I agree that often one little tidbit of info could easily be another whole lecture.
Has a German-Jew I am very fascinated with the story that you talk about the Kievan Rus’ king choosing a religion for his people because it sounds so similar to the king of Khazaria, deciding on religion for his people meeting with rabbis and priests and Imans, Supposedly Khazaria became Jewish By conversion but I am pretty sure there were many Jews out of the Levant there as well, just as my ancestors were brought as slaved workers to Colonia/Tier by the Romans for uprising, Gut Schabbas unn Schalom ❤️🙏
Jeremiah 16:14-15
“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.”
A significant factor that Dr. Abramson did NOT address in this lecture is that during WWII, for better or for worse, the Western powers made a DEAL with Stalin, to divide up Europe into two spheres of influence; the Western and the Eastern blocks. Ukraine fell clearly in the Eastern block. In 1956 Hungary wanted to exit the Eastern blo9ck and gravitate to the West. In 1968 the same attempt was made by Czechoslovakia. The Soviets invaded on both occasions and subdued the rebellions. The West did not interfere. Despite the aspirations of many Ukrainians, Putin feels he cannot afford to allow Ukraine, which is too close to home, to fall to Western influence, especially to become part of, or closely associated with NATO (in his view it was bad enough that East Germany, Hungary, Czech, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland fell in the past 30 years).
A major factor in the present conflict is the ineptitude of the Biden administration. Under Trump, Ukraine would have retained a tolerable level of independence from Moscow, yet remain under Eastern influence to satisfy Putin.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
superb explanation of a complex area. thank you dr abramson.
Thanks for the history lesson....now things are becoming more clear........praying for you most seriously....God help..
A couple of corrections:
1) Ukrainian language is closer to West Slavic languages (even to Czech or Sorb-Lusitian) than to "Russian". "Russian" is an artificial language created for mostly non-Slavic population of Muscovy and is similar to Old Bulgarian. The ancestors of "Russians" were not Slavic and learnt a dialect of Old Bulgarian in Orthodox churches in which it was used as liturgical language.
2) "Polish landlords" were local Ukrainian magnates who voluntarily converted to Catholicism in 17th Century and over time got Polonized. They didn't come from Poland.
3) After Mongolian yoke Ukraine belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Rus and Samogitia. The ruler of that country married Polish queen. In 1569 Ukrainian magnates requested joining the Kingdom of Poland part of the Union as it was more developed and offered more protection from Muscovy than the Duchy.
Yakov Svetoslav did not flee the Mongols to Poland. He fled to Bulgaria on the Balkans. Poland was so "developed" it still doesn't even have an independent church, let alone "Slavic" writing system.
@@julianpetkov8320 Poles never wanted to write in Cyrillic or be in Orthodox church. Today the Orthodox countries tend to be poor and those with Western Christianity heritage are wealthier and more developed.
@@CrazyLeiFeng The fact remains, you have contributed nothing to the Slavic world, but the phrases "Slavic" and "not Slavic" are constantly in your mouth.
You suffer from inferiority complex and rightfully so. Bulgaria is the oldest Slavic state. Ukraine is bigger than Poland, and Russia is the biggest country in the world, while Poland is still a Lithuanian backwater.
@@julianpetkov8320 If anyone here have a problem it is you, for sure. With your polonophobia and the toxic downgrading language you use. Shame on you, that's all I want to say. Educate yourself first, then try writing something worth of value.
