@@TheRezro Today's British monarchy are German. "UK's royals and the Nazis George's son Edward VIII became king in 1936. Less than a year later, he abdicated for love and married Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. His brother Albert ascended the British throne as George VI. At the time, the Nazis and Adolf Hitler had long since gained a firm grip on Germany, with the world watching the Third Reich with interest and skepticism. Edward and Albert's mother, Queen Mary, insisted that her sons not forget their German roots - after all, they also had plenty of relatives in Hitler's Germany. For his part, Edward openly showed sympathy for the Nazis. One photo taken in 1937 shows the duke and his wife smiling and shaking hands with Hitler. Just a few years ago, a video emerged showing Edward and his sister-in-law practicing the Hitler salute with two little girls - Margaret and Elizabeth, with the latter one day becoming the queen of England. The snippet was filmed by Elizabeth's father, King George VI. To this day, the British do not like to be reminded of the at times cordial relations of the British aristocracy with the German Nazis, trying as much as possible to keep evidence of such connections under wraps. How German is King Charles III? The mother of Queen Elizabeth II was British, so she was only partly of German descent - even if she did display some stereotypical German virtues throughout her life, including discipline and a sense of duty. Her husband Philip, however, had predominantly German ancestors and spoke fluent German. In 1947, he became a British citizen and, shortly before his marriage to Elizabeth, relinquished his German title of nobility and called himself only "Mountbatten." Their eldest son, the new King Charles III, has a bloodline made up of roughly half German ancestors".
@@AAaa-wu3el Darling: "Look, I'm as British as Queen Victoria!" Blackadder:: "So your father's German, you're half-German and you married a German?!"

It really isn't until recently when the royals of Europe started to marry models, actresses and other celebrities that the inbreeding project stopped.

Actually, no. More precisely, from a historical point of view, all the people of Europe once migrated there from Africa, but in those distant times they had not yet formed into a separate Slavic ethnic group) But the center of the emergence of the Slavs is considered to be Eastern Europe, in the area of modern Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
I am sorry but there is no basis for the claim that Slavs came from the steppes, Slavs were always present in Eastern Europe and they are the closest descendants of Corded Ware and Fatyanovo cultures from the bronze age...
@@marcusaurelius4941 Well yes, but in the west they eventually transformed into Bell Beakers and other cultures, while Slavs are more similar to the original Corded Ware folk.

33:25 Marx's 10 point plan was followed by the Bolsheviks perfectly, it was not Marxist doctrine that said the state would fade away and many of Marx's contemporaries like Russian Mikhail Bakunin said Marx's plan was nothing more than the worship of state power. What Marx actually said was, "the class system would be abolished and the state would no longer be necessary to enforce the interests of one class over another". So totalitarianism would no longer be needed since the entire population would have no desire to fight back. This is why the Soviets and their acolytes like China were the ultimate example Marx's ideals. In practice unless Marxism enslaves the entire globe it will conform to the world around it. So no Marx never said the state would fade away!
Thanks for the video, as a resident of one of the former republics of the USSR, it was interesting for me to see the view from the outside. But.. There are too many misconceptions
The last part about Gorbačev I think is underinformative as it says nothing about the 1991 coup and how the people of the USSr voted to remain the union. (PS. just for the record I aint a tankie, I just view that this is important to say.)
Same. The coup had it not happened, would have meant the USSR continuing. No Chechen war nor countless other conflicts. Glasnost and perestroika would be enlightened compared to today's central Asian nations autocratic dictatorships.
@@Davitofrito That coup, though, couldn't have been successful. The Soviet system was dying from within, and required vast reforms that its bureaucracy was not able to implement due to a multitude of reasons. At best the coup would have extended the USSR's agony for a few more years. It was simply too late

Monarchies are technically not corrupt autocracies. Because there is no abuse of power in a non-constitutional monarchy, because all uses of power are inherently authorized. Therefore, while a monarchy can be tyrannical, it can't be corrupt.
I'm an Israeli jew with ancestors from Ukraine. When my family talked about the pale of settlement they actually talked about it as a good thing. The reason being that part of russification was attempting to turn the jews from wandering nomads into agricultural productive peasants. Believe it or not bur many jews were actually happy about it (at least temporarily). They received land and Catherine also opened Ukraine up for jews. Catherine was technically supposed to kick out all of the jews as her predecessors had done before with the lands they conquered from Poland, but instead she allowed them to stay and while yes they couldn't leave the pale, the pale was pretty much all of the territories that were taken from Poland plus a lot of Ukrainian land. Nowadays Catherine is portrayed in schools as a pretty good monarch especially in comparison to those who came before and after her, and most of the violence against jews in the pale is seen as the fault of the average man rather than the government. Obviously this was both the fault of the average man and the government, but it was more the government allowing violence to continue, rather than the government creating violence (like in nazi Germany or the Spanish Inquisition).
You seem to be rather welcoming to notes from the slavic folks who so happen to have more in-depth knowledge of some specific questions. This is truly heartwarming to see. Many pointed out the origin of eastern slavs, piece which I can't exactly evaluate, though I've studied the Soviet industry in more depth. Would be glad to provide some of my knowledge if anyone has deeper interest! What is often misrepresented in the popular sources is the academic consensus on reasons of the Holodomor and other early soviet famines. While it is clear the famine was largely accelerated and/or caused by the confiscations of grain, the death toll of the famine itself was an unintended consequence. There is a lack of historical evidence pointing to the deliberation. The soviet management is guilty of criminal negligence, failure to prevent starvation rather than aiming for it.

Another nitpick, but an important one. The USSR was certainly able to keep pace with Western growth. The issue was diplomatic/economic isolation, and a much, much lower starting point. Compare U.S. and Soviet GDP growth from the end of WW2 until the mid-1970s.

I grew up in the USSR and we didn't really learn much specifics about Catherine II, past how she became Empress after that it's kind of, just the status quo, everything is normal, Catherine is Great, and why - it doesn't matter.

@@nich7622 I'm russian and I don't agree with you. A dictionary is always better than Google translator :) In case of Ivan, "Грозный" = "Cruel" + "Strict" + "Powerful". Formidable and other words above are based on the word "Fear". The base of the word "Грозный" is "Danger" (noun). And literraly the adjective is "Bringing danger". He was danger for common people because he was Ruthless and Merciless. I think "Merciless" (беспощадный) is the closest meaning of "Грозный" in this case. It inspires fear, but it's not directly "Fearful" or "Formidable". And even more so, it's quite far from "Terrible". I haven't a clue why the whole world calls him "Terrible" :)

According to the Case Study, Russian drinking culture can be traced back to the reign of Ivan the Terrible (1547-1584), who imposed a government monopoly on alcohol, including an early vodka made from grain (“bread wine”), which was sold through state established taverns frequented by the Tsar's special police forces

Very instructive... except for calling "deliberate" the Holomodor. In the line of the rest of the video, it was very complex and multifactorial (yes, gobernment incompetence/failed communication and slow response played a critical part on it). Indeed, the own video refutes it... 1 M Russian deaths showing in the inset... (not mentioned in the script?). The utimate source of the Holomodor was environmental (and affected well beyond USSR borders, mostly a global event), and yes, aggravated by multiple political issues. Was Stalin/Soviet politics responsible? Much. Was deliverate? Highly doubtful.
And the comment about the "failure" of USSR economy... sure there were many failures, but, 2nd world economy despite of USA orchestrated isolation? (and coming from a backwater power by the 10's and spoiled by war in the 20's). And again, the video refutes itself, economic stagnation occurred by the 80's, but before that USSR demonstrated a continuous growth (again, with many failures and the major one not being able to change to a less autocratic, less corrupt regime).

When watching videos about the Roman Empire everyone uses the Latin names of contemporary cities (Neapolis, Londinum, Mediolanum, Nicaea) as they should. Ever since the Russo-Ukranian war I've struggled with watching videos who insist on using the modern names for ancient cities to show how socially noble they are. The Ки́евская Русь (Kievan Rus) was founded around the city of Киев (Kiev). I understand the desire to be politically sensitive, but not at the cost of historical accuracy. The city was not called Kyiv in the 13th century...

For his part, Edward openly showed sympathy for the Nazis. One photo taken in 1937 shows the duke and his wife smiling and shaking hands with Hitler.
Just a few years ago, a video emerged showing Edward and his sister-in-law practicing the Hitler salute with two little girls - Margaret and Elizabeth, with the latter one day becoming the queen of England. The snippet was filmed by Elizabeth's father, King George VI.
To this day, the British do not like to be reminded of the at times cordial relations of the British aristocracy with the German Nazis, trying as much as possible to keep evidence of such connections under wraps.
How German is King Charles III?
The mother of Queen Elizabeth II was British, so she was only partly of German descent - even if she did display some stereotypical German virtues throughout her life, including discipline and a sense of duty.
Her husband Philip, however, had predominantly German ancestors and spoke fluent German. In 1947, he became a British citizen and, shortly before his marriage to Elizabeth, relinquished his German title of nobility and called himself only "Mountbatten."
Their eldest son, the new King Charles III, has a bloodline made up of roughly half German ancestors".

Actually, no. More precisely, from a historical point of view, all the people of Europe once migrated there from Africa, but in those distant times they had not yet formed into a separate Slavic ethnic group) But the center of the emergence of the Slavs is considered to be Eastern Europe, in the area of modern Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
I am sorry but there is no basis for the claim that Slavs came from the steppes, Slavs were always present in Eastern Europe and they are the closest descendants of Corded Ware and Fatyanovo cultures from the bronze age...

33:25 Marx's 10 point plan was followed by the Bolsheviks perfectly, it was not Marxist doctrine that said the state would fade away and many of Marx's contemporaries like Russian Mikhail Bakunin said Marx's plan was nothing more than the worship of state power. What Marx actually said was, "the class system would be abolished and the state would no longer be necessary to enforce the interests of one class over another". So totalitarianism would no longer be needed since the entire population would have no desire to fight back. This is why the Soviets and their acolytes like China were the ultimate example Marx's ideals. In practice unless Marxism enslaves the entire globe it will conform to the world around it. So no Marx never said the state would fade away!

Monarchies are technically not corrupt autocracies. Because there is no abuse of power in a non-constitutional monarchy, because all uses of power are inherently authorized. Therefore, while a monarchy can be tyrannical, it can't be corrupt.
It can be if It creates laws that it does not abide by, though this is uncommon.

Ничего крутого здесь нет, это худшая интерпретация истории России, которую я когда либо видел, хуже были только ролики либералов.
I'm an Israeli jew with ancestors from Ukraine. When my family talked about the pale of settlement they actually talked about it as a good thing. The reason being that part of russification was attempting to turn the jews from wandering nomads into agricultural productive peasants. Believe it or not bur many jews were actually happy about it (at least temporarily). They received land and Catherine also opened Ukraine up for jews. Catherine was technically supposed to kick out all of the jews as her predecessors had done before with the lands they conquered from Poland, but instead she allowed them to stay and while yes they couldn't leave the pale, the pale was pretty much all of the territories that were taken from Poland plus a lot of Ukrainian land.
Nowadays Catherine is portrayed in schools as a pretty good monarch especially in comparison to those who came before and after her, and most of the violence against jews in the pale is seen as the fault of the average man rather than the government.
Obviously this was both the fault of the average man and the government, but it was more the government allowing violence to continue, rather than the government creating violence (like in nazi Germany or the Spanish Inquisition).
@harelkalifa2451 good points

You seem to be rather welcoming to notes from the slavic folks who so happen to have more in-depth knowledge of some specific questions. This is truly heartwarming to see.
Many pointed out the origin of eastern slavs, piece which I can't exactly evaluate, though I've studied the Soviet industry in more depth. Would be glad to provide some of my knowledge if anyone has deeper interest!
What is often misrepresented in the popular sources is the academic consensus on reasons of the Holodomor and other early soviet famines.
While it is clear the famine was largely accelerated and/or caused by the confiscations of grain, the death toll of the famine itself was an unintended consequence. There is a lack of historical evidence pointing to the deliberation. The soviet management is guilty of criminal negligence, failure to prevent starvation rather than aiming for it.

Another nitpick, but an important one. The USSR was certainly able to keep pace with Western growth. The issue was diplomatic/economic isolation, and a much, much lower starting point. Compare U.S. and Soviet GDP growth from the end of WW2 until the mid-1970s.

I grew up in the USSR and we didn't really learn much specifics about Catherine II, past how she became Empress after that it's kind of, just the status quo, everything is normal, Catherine is Great, and why - it doesn't matter. There are a lot of stories about Suvorov, how he crossed the Alps and stuff and then it's the war of 1812. That's kind of what you get as a kid in terms of history.

Fearsome

Exactly. It’s ‘formidable’, not ‘terrible’ that describes translation of ‘грозный’ the best.
@@nich7622despite the fact that he was a terrible ruler even for his time. He sacked Novgorod, which had already been under his and his father’s rule since 1478, for no other reason than paranoia. No wonder another monster loved Ivan the Terrible so much.
@@nich7622 I'm russian and I don't agree with you. A dictionary is always better than Google translator :)
In case of Ivan, "Грозный" = "Cruel" + "Strict" + "Powerful".
Formidable and other words above are based on the word "Fear".
The base of the word "Грозный" is "Danger" (noun). And literraly the adjective is "Bringing danger". He was danger for common people because he was Ruthless and Merciless.
I think "Merciless" (беспощадный) is the closest meaning of "Грозный" in this case.
It inspires fear, but it's not directly "Fearful" or "Formidable". And even more so, it's quite far from "Terrible". I haven't a clue why the whole world calls him "Terrible" :)

Finally a video after 1 year
Very instructive... except for calling "deliberate" the Holomodor. In the line of the rest of the video, it was very complex and multifactorial (yes, gobernment incompetence/failed communication and slow response played a critical part on it). Indeed, the own video refutes it... 1 M Russian deaths showing in the inset... (not mentioned in the script?). The utimate source of the Holomodor was environmental (and affected well beyond USSR borders, mostly a global event), and yes, aggravated by multiple political issues. Was Stalin/Soviet politics responsible? Much. Was deliverate? Highly doubtful.
And the comment about the "failure" of USSR economy... sure there were many failures, but, 2nd world economy despite of USA orchestrated isolation? (and coming from a backwater power by the 10's and spoiled by war in the 20's). And again, the video refutes itself, economic stagnation occurred by the 80's, but before that USSR demonstrated a continuous growth (again, with many failures and the major one not being able to change to a less autocratic, less corrupt regime).
Ah yes, exporting food to the world while Ukrainians are starving wasn't "delibirate", yeah?

Love the video, but you cannot call Bakunin, Kropotkin or even Proudhon as Marxist. They are very much Anarchist, seeing as they are a big part of the ideologies origins.
Novgodod was kind of oligarchic republic which treated it's serfs much worse than other Russian politiai. Novgorod pesants greated Moscow troops with joy and relief. Same thing can't be said about citizens, of course
Well worth the wait!
Hopefully

Mind backing that claim with any facts?
When watching videos about the Roman Empire everyone uses the Latin names of contemporary cities (Neapolis, Londinum, Mediolanum, Nicaea) as they should. Ever since the Russo-Ukranian war I've struggled with watching videos who insist on using the modern names for ancient cities to show how socially noble they are. The Ки́евская Русь (Kievan Rus) was founded around the city of Киев (Kiev). I understand the desire to be politically sensitive, but not at the cost of historical accuracy. The city was not called Kyiv in the 13th century...
In Old Rusian Kyiv is Києвъ, which transliterates as „Kyjewъ“. Another spelling is Кыєвъ, which transliterates the same way. Sorry that your pro-Russian doesn’t line up with the actual language of the Rus. Source: Повість Врєменних Літ. Learn some basic history.
@@masonharvath-gerrans832i think that he is calling about that that in this time a languadge had a some differens from nowdays. So in old ruaasian "Киев" in that times writes as "Кꙑѥвъ" or "Кї́евъ", not as modern Kyiv.
