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

I live in Ukraine and dont know any jewish people personally, but my grandma allways told me, that she worked with them and they are good and respectable people. Very interesting to see their story on our shared land.

I thank God for the help from Elon Musk, the EU, our USA, + many other countries. You, yourselves, cry out to God to help each of You to defend your land, for this invasion was unprovoked.
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.
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.
Thank God he adopted Christianity after studying all the various religious beliefs n scriptures before deciding on the Way the Truth n life is the only way to salvation
THIS IS VERY HELPFUL, FOR THIS GENTILE LADY. IT IS A LOT TO TAKE IN, SO I WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU WITH JEWISH HISTORY FOR A FEW SESSIONS NOW. THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL FOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE
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 ...
Your maps are wrong because it includes parts of Romania, which is wrong considering that Romania was much bigger and included parts of Current Ukraine
Thank you -- this was helpful to me in explaining the historic roots of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to my (non-Jewish) husband. You are an excellent and always well-organized teacher. We both like your videos and we watch them together.
The Russian invasion is to prevent NATO expansion for the same reason Russia invaded Georgia earlier which is not related to history or ethnic connections.
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.
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.
I'm more concerned about the mass of American bio=weapon laboratories controlled by the Pentagon in Ukraine. Who allowed those bio-weapon labs on the land of Ukraine, who was responsible, do you know? Those labs are a danger to everyone in Europe and beyond. Although I will have a listen to your video.
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.
So much to learn. The Russian and Ukrainians are similar people with significant distinctions. The Hassidic Jews grew and were established in the Ukraine. Just today, I became aware that the current Ukrainian president is of Jewish background...
2:45 Poles did not emerge from Kievan Rus, Poland was a separate kingdom. Look on the map behind you. You are incorrect my Jewish friend. Anyways, SLAVA UKRAINI.

@@mmiller8373 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..

An excellent presentation. Erudite. The best explication of this history that I have ever heard. It reminded me of an early role model of mine, a western Ukrainian philologist who was also a Ukrainian diplomat between the Wars. Thank you!
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.

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.

When Saint Vladimir chose his religion as Christianity there were not yet Catholic and Orthodox Churches. There was only Orthodox Church. Though the first who brought Christianity to Kievskaya Rus was apostle Andrew - several centuries prior. These factual misleading interpretations devalue everything which is said afterwards.
According to the Jewish Agency there are some 200,000 Jews in Ukraine today who are entitled to emigrate to Israel by virtue of familial ties to Jews and citizens of the state.

Very scholarly presentation. Much appreciated and best wishes to continue on this necessary effort to contribute with their knowledge to those who are hungry to learn History like me and to a better understanding of current world events.
Hello Dr Abramson... I found this video totally by accident, and I am very glad I did. I love history, and of course, I'm glued to the events in happening in Ukraine. You are a brilliant historian/teacher. Because I'm a Protestant, I don't know Hebrew but that didn't matter. I already see another video I'm going to watch now. Many thanks ...Shalom 😊 From Washington DC
I too I'm very interested in learning history.You say, 'because I'm a Protestant I don't know Hebrew'🤔There must be a few among the Protestant persuasion who hv at least a basic understanding of the language. Don't allow your denominational background deter you from taking up the language of the Bible. That is of course, if that's what you would like to do.
Most of the stories are based on the beginning, that jews migrated from western Europe to eastern because of antisemitsm. Why there is no earlier history revealled? I’m very interested what caused antisemitism in western Europe, what was the jewish business in that area, how did they settled western Europe, where did they come from? I think that could be very interesting part for the next episode. Thank You for the good history lesson. 😉👍
Solzhenitsyn wrote a great book on the struggle between the Jews and the ethnic Russians during part of this time. It's called 'Two Hundred Years Together'. A worthwhile read.
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.
I also want to thank you for this and your many, many wonderful videos on Jewish history. I can’t even begin to quantify how much I’ve learned from you. My father was born in Kiev in 1910 and left with his mother when he was 12. His parents were from Chernigov, north and east of Kiev, on the right side of Dnieper River, which if I remember correctly you said less Jews lived. Anyway, do you have or can direct me to information about Jews in Chernigov. If you have a chance to respond thank you, I’m sure you are very busy.
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. Rus is established in Novgorod not in Kiev. Pls don’t change history.

Thank you for a timely important lecture. I was able to share the lecture with my Torah study group and twitter followers with good response. All of your lectures are so useful clear and concise regarding Jewish history and the history of all religious and ethnic of the times and locations discussed.
I am not a Jew myself but my ancestors died together with Jews in one of the Nazi concentration camps. What interests me is how do you see on Nazi armed forces that are now part of the Ukrainian army.
Good to mention that these lands: Tavrida (Crimea, named after Tartars), Mariupol, Odesa, Sevastopol, and many more were inhabited by ancient Greeks for millennia, dating roughly 600 BC. That is why plenty of cities contain Greek root words. The Soviet Union killed millions that were in the South Ukrainian region by the Black Sea. 1919 Greece sent battalions to join the French to fight the Bolsheviks - which resulted in a catastrophe for the remaining population that suffered swift retaliation.
Mr Abramson forgot to mention that Vladimir the Great married Anna Porphyrogenita , the daughter of Byzantine Emperor Romanos II and the Empress Theophano.She was greek and Christian.He got impressed by her faith and thats why he converted to Christianity.

"Anti-Semitic politician beaten in Ukraine

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

Ukraine has been neutral. That’s why it was attacked. It would have never been attacked if it was part of NATO.
Ukrainian is not a dominant language in the country, Russian is.
When Saint Vladimir chose his religion as Christianity there were not yet Catholic and Orthodox Churches. There was only Orthodox Church. Though the first who brought Christianity to Kievskaya Rus was apostle Andrew - several centuries prior. These factual misleading interpretations devalue everything which is said afterwards.
According to the Jewish Agency there are some 200,000 Jews in Ukraine today who are entitled to emigrate to Israel by virtue of familial ties to Jews and citizens of the state.

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.

Excellent review. Thank you.
I also want to thank you for this and your many, many wonderful videos on Jewish history. I can’t even begin to quantify how much I’ve learned from you. My father was born in Kiev in 1910 and left with his mother when he was 12. His parents were from Chernigov, north and east of Kiev, on the right side of Dnieper River, which if I remember correctly you said less Jews lived. Anyway, do you have or can direct me to information about Jews in Chernigov. If you have a chance to respond thank you, I’m sure you are very busy.
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. Rus is established in Novgorod not in Kiev. Pls don’t change history.
No mention of the Vikings, who may have co-founded Kjiv and had significant influence. Otherwise interesting.

Good to mention that these lands: Tavrida (Crimea, named after Tartars), Mariupol, Odesa, Sevastopol, and many more were inhabited by ancient Greeks for millennia, dating roughly 600 BC. That is why plenty of cities contain Greek root words. The Soviet Union killed millions that were in the South Ukrainian region by the Black Sea. 1919 Greece sent battalions to join the French to fight the Bolsheviks - which resulted in a catastrophe for the remaining population that suffered swift retaliation.
I thought it was bolshevik jews killing Christians. 🤔
Mr Abramson forgot to mention that Vladimir the Great married Anna Porphyrogenita , the daughter of Byzantine Emperor Romanos II and the Empress Theophano.She was greek and Christian.He got impressed by her faith and thats why he converted to Christianity.
He was impressed by the sweet deal Byzantium offered him and took her and Christianity in the deal
Wow. This is a part of history I need to study.
I have a question? Ukraine History.
Are you aware of the Jew's that were beaten and stabbed by Ukrainian Soldiers on order's from the German's during World War 2?
Ref: Ukrainian Collaboration with Germany in World War II
