- Trace the evolution of Russia, from Kievan Rus to present day, and find out how it became the biggest country in the world.
--
Russia is the biggest country in the world, spanning one-eighth of the Earth’s landmass. But where did it all begin? Alex Gendler explores the epic history of the Kievan Rus, where characters ranging from Viking raiders and Western crusaders to Byzantine missionaries and Mongol hordes all played a role to create a unique civilization standing at the crossroads of culture and geography.

The Vikings dropped a bottle of vodka in a lake, soon after the first Russians emerged.
Lol nice one
+Ed Knight Vodka was invented only in XV ( official date is in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_Vodka) long after Kievan Rus' had been founded (X century).
+Roman Khudobin I think he may have been joking.
+dhodz hoddy You mean that Rurik was Polish and he dropped a bottle of vodka in the Ladoga lake?
I am not a food historian I only know that there was a dispute on the topic of the vodka invention because some people, Polish in particular, tried to prohibit exporting Russian vodka as vodka. After a Russian scientist Похлебкин had presented his research the prohibition was lifted. If you want to reopen the case who am I to stop you. My national pride can live with it even if you succeed.
but VODKA was made by russians =)
unlogical, my friend
Yeeeah, but how did they end up with half a fucken continent's worth of territory?
mostly because no one else wanted most of it.
There was that guy named Ermak. Tzar sent him to conquer east.
imho mongols destroyed almost any advanced civilization in the east and they left a huge power vacuum that had to be filled
because there way no real enemy...it was and more or less is just vast, uncivilized and unpopulated land
Not exactly. The mongols *made* Eurasia a vast, uncivilised and underpopulated land.
yea but all we ever talk about is west russia. there is a crap load of land to the east, past the ural mountains. What about over there?
it was either uninhabited or uncivilized. There was an expansion from the Duchy of Moscow into these land from 16th to 19th century. That's pretty much it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_conquest_of_Siberia
some parts of eastern Russia including Siberia is the ancestral lands of Turkic people.
+WolfyOfHonor "uninhabited or uncivilized" is a myth. In reallity Siberia was populated by Turkish Khanates after the fall of Mongolian empire. Siberian Khans made raids on Russia through Ural mountains for more then 150 years. One of the raid consisted near 20 thousands cavalryman. Khans had even arty to defend the cities. You can check your link. For example native Americans didn't know even ironworks and horsemanship.
+ MrNotebookguy Eurasian steppes are ancestral lands for most of indoeuropean nations.
Fedor Evdokimenko Our ancestral lands are and borders are well described on Orkhon script carvings.
I don't think we are indo-european and I don't think there were any indo-european nation where Turkic peoples originate from
I wish we never had travelled all the way from Central Asia to the west too meet with the people who had culturally destroyed our heritage
i realized that the Russian language has a lot of words contain the sound /v/, how true is it?
vodka
Vladimir
viking
Vino voda vladimir Vladivostok vika vlad
> viking
There is also 'video', which is international and begins with v. Actually 'v' is also a word, it is a preposition, which means 'into'. It is a second popular after 'i', which means 'and' in Russian.
And
Medved'
Matryoshka
Balalaika
Yes, the sound "v" is very common in Russian, as are soft sounds such as "sh" and "d" ("d"s can be soft!). Russian is actually a very soft language overall. The word "vozhd" - an absolute ruler, used during the time of the tsars - is pronounced "voshdt", with the v being a soft v, almost like f, but not quite.
'v' is normal in 'Vozhdt'. It is softened in morkovь, similarly to vozhdь because of softening mark.

Just "Rus". Country called "Kievan Rus" never existed, as well as "Byzantine Empire", which always was called (until Modern Era) as "Rome".
+Jürgen Kraise Exacly, we call it "Bizantines" to differentiate Roman Empire before the split and after Roma's fall, otherwise it would be always Roman Empire. It's a modern convention, but even though I know that, I will still call "Bizantines" to the Bizantines when I want to refer to them.

country of Tokaj big because we are good and those who left cowards!
+113Robinho It was pretty shallow. It talked about how European Russia came to be. I think it's because after the Mongols left there wasn't much left so it was just European Russians united under the Kingdom of Rus settling the Steppes and building trade ports on the Black Sea. Siberia is mostly uninhabited so they claim it because they surround it. The video could've done a lot more.
+113Robinho Invading and annexing. Period.
+113Robinho I think, I can tell - Siberia was rather empty space, and a lot of peoples there were joined not by force, but by their own decision, actually all the peoples of Russia saved their religion, culture, traditions ets! Those, who didn't want to join, were conqured as everywhere, but still had the same rights and obligations! Generally speaking, colonies became a part of a country, not a colonie!
Mongols tought us 1 good lesson - unity = strengh!
+113Robinho Because war mate.
in mother Russia Vikings don't destroy they fix
Not fix only. They built new cities even.
What about England then? They have been formed first by Angles and Saxons, then Vikings, then Normands, who are of Viking descent. Normands have also installed one of the most tolerant and prosperous kingdom of their time, in Sicily, after expelling the Arabs of the island.
actually no there were two major battles documented where the vikings fought the Inuit, both ended with a viking victory with minor casualties. the first one 1003 22 vikings died and the natives retreated, the second in 1010 where the vikings lost 2 and the natives retreated. The reason they didn't take over the place was due to many reasons but the main one being lack of resources. Iceland (who went there) did not posses the manpower nor resources to really take over the place and since the natives had nothing of value raiding there proofed useless so they left. there is evidence however that they actually went there for wood up until the 13th century.
Those Vikings came and saw that there is good land and good men. They decided enough to have long hikes and robberies, we stay here, we will cultivate the land, raising livestock and defend against enemies of this land and the people with whom they have become one family. The descendants of those Vikings still live in that area. And nothing has changed since then, those who come to the Russian land with war, would never leave her alive, and those who come with love and peace he finds a new home here.

American history is so boring compared to European/Asian history. We don't even have a unique culture compared to the rest of the world.
+TheTorridestCheese You have unique culture now.
The U.S has the shortest yet the most inspirational history! I am not American but I love American history because of men with vision and passion!
+TheTorridestCheese But anyway you have European based culture and you could feel part of it. You know, even nations in Europe have copied or taken from each other something, you are not the only one. And not to forget that US is since a while a very important contributor to the western culture.
The United States became the greatest economic-military power in world history in less than 240 years and the only economy that has been able to equal this happens to be one of the world's oldest civilizations so I'd like to think that they had one hell of a head start. That's something to be proud of.
***** Its not that I hate America. I'm just envious of the rich culture that some countries have that we don't. There really isn't much that people see and can say, "Oh, that's American" that isn't pop media or the Statue of Liberty.
We do, like someone else mentioned, have the opportunity to taste a very large number of cultures from around the world without traveling very far.

A little bit earlier , I think. It wasn't so big till Ivan Grozny (who is last Rurickovich)
LikeA5Life Looking at the thumbnail, Russia became that big around the time of Alexander III, which is almost 300 years after Ivan IV. Also, Ivan IV was not the last of the House of Rurickovich; that would be Feodor I if you don't count the impersonators that came after during the Time of Troubles.

"Populated by Slavs, ruled by Vikings, taught by Greeks, and split by Mongols." That's a pretty good summation of early Russian history.
And quite fake just like rewritten history. People think they know what happened hundreds years ago created by someone on RUclips recently. Let's just say Tartaria wasn't just myth, that is exactly why similar grant building all over the world and monuments like pyramids all over the world as well.

So TED claims Cyrillic alphabet was created for the Russian empire by the Byzantine one. I would strongly suggest checking your resources again and looking into the history of the Cyrillic and in particular the history of the brothers Cyril and Methodius, who being emissaries of Christianity send by the Byzantine Emperor in West Eastern Europe and being chased out of there by Prince Rostislav of Great Moravia, where Cyril creates the Glagolitic alphabet, go to Bulgaria where Knyaz Boris I accepts them and their alphabet, which is later transformed by their students into the Cyrillic alphabet. The students then disperse to different parts of Europe, some going to Russia.

mix of truth and lies.

What are the lies?
I would say there are more unconfirmed information.
First of all, the word Rus would actually mean Red (the red people for whatever reason, I may be wrong, but the word ruso remained in the archaic versions of other Slavic languages meaning red).
Second, there are archaeological sites that imply that the letters known now as Cyrillic predate Christianity (tombstones at Vinča, Serbia, around 6th century B.C.).
Why there are few to none written records from that time is because:
a) The Church would systematically destroy old Slav scriptures (and also building churches in the very sites of pagan worship)
b) Communism (I do not want to even begin explaining this)
And c) Isolation from the West
I do realize that the lack of evidence is not evidence itself, but you do have to realize that due constant turbulence in Slavic societies (i.e. wars,economic recession,ideological disputes etc.) there has been very little concern for archaeology and historical research. There are other things I could point out, but I am not a historian, I may be wrong, and I cannot be bothered to type anymore :)
no the cyrillic alphabet is called like that for a reason and of course there never was something called "old slavic" destroyed by the church and the communists. read history and speak with proof my friend.
There was some old "runes", but they was so primitive and undeveloped (versus scandinavian "runes") that modern history states that they were not for actual writing but just some symbols of pagan gods.
that's what history is
so russia isnt muslim because of vodka?
Vodka, medwedy, Dmitriy and balalayka!
Thank fucking Christ. Could you imagine a real muslim world power (pff)? I mean, if somehow the entire country suddenly converted, we'd all be SOL. But Russia would be like 300 different countries by now if it were anyways.
Kako Kako The Cold War. Islam's hate of the West would be a pretty good instigator and we'd be in the middle of nuclear winter.
Vodka was inveted in 1936 in USSR.
I found out about a Slavic god named Radegast, said to be the god of hospitality. some people did use human sacrifice to worship him, but if they really thought about it, it could've been the same God as the One that Christian churches followed. Maybe the two religions had a lot more in common than they first thought.
By the way, to be exact -- Oleg was Rurik's kinsman, relative. Rurik's son was Igor. Please, read Nestor's writings attentively...
thank you for your amendment. I'm from Russia, and the speaker saying that Oleg was Rurik's son confused me a bit.
Кирилл Привалов I have a question if you read this. When do Russians typically mark the creation of Russia? When the Kievan Rus’ was founded? When Rurik came to Novgorod? When the Tsardom of Russia was created? Idk
@@pluto6383 It is written that Rurik came to Novgorod in 862 after Slovene and other tribes called him and his brothers (Sineus and Truvor) here. It's the year that is thought to be the year of creation of Russia, though there were tribes all over the area where they had dwellings (from Novgorod to Kiev). Then Oleg united Novgorod and Kiev in 882.
882 is the year when Kievan Rus was founded

both are ancient. сука/suka is unchanged from the Proto-Slavic (making it at least ~1500 years old in its present form); блядь/blyad', from Proto-Slavic *blędĭ, must have already had its denasalised vowel in place around the time Russia was founded (9th century), and lost its ultrashort final vowel, along with the voicedness on the /d/ (which was what eventually gave rise to the popular deliberate misspelling блять/blyat'), around the 13th or 14th century.

Actually, as we were told in our history lessons here, in Russia, the story about choosing between 3 religions is a myth. In fact, Christianity was chosen to make a connection with Byzantine empire, because at that time you couldn't marry a person of different religion and so on.
+Landon Le but I heard after the Russian Civil War (1917-1922) Soviet invade Georgia in 1922 alongside with Turkey.
That's amusing what low opinion people have nowadays of ancient politicians. I am yet to see one successful ruler who ruled according to personal preferences, tastes and habits. This kind of rulers gets replaced in few years now, and always was throughout the history from pre-roman times.
It is the Chazar story. They lived in between Muslims and Christians who were at each other's throat but somehow could let Jews live. So Chazars' chose was the obvious - Judaism.
+Landon Le @Landon Le: the Russians did not choose Christianity--- the UKRAINIANS did!! Kievan Rus was Ukrainian NOT Russian. There was no Russia until 500 years later.
William Gill_Esq. Kyivan Rus was the Origin of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. Kyiv and the Kyivan lands were Ukraine (as seen in the Kyiv Choronicles). But Moscow was founded by a Rus prince, and Novgorod dialect grew into Russian, too. So yes, the Kyivan Rus is, to some extent the History of Russia, but they were not the ONLY Slavic tribe there, and the main people were Kyiv people. Russia as it is today became that way under the Mongols and after Ivan (the great) rebelled against them.
P.S. Technically, since Novgorod did not _want_ to give up Paganism, Russia, in fact, did _not_ choose Christianity. It also saddens me how you forget about Belarus. Belarus! She is _also_ of the Kyivan Rus!

You remain polish territory. Russia conquers Poland, the First World War, you become a country for 3 or so years and then the Soviet Union annexes you. After the collapse of the Soviet Union Ukraine becomes a sovereign state.

Мне кажется или тут все не точно, Олег не сын Рюрика, а регент его сына, небыло государства "Киевская Русь" была Русь от которой произошли три страны Россия, Украина и Беларусь, "Киевская" - это термин придуманный в 19 веке для обозначения времени когда Киев был столицей Руси, также как и "Новгородская", "Московская" и тд. Русь, никто же не говорит Парижская Франция или Берлинкая Германия. Школьник в 11 классе, который очень историю любит, явно смог бы обьяснить лудше и спорил бы целыми часами. Ведь на Западе в историю России даже невникают, а некоторые вещи они сами придумали, особенно про Ивана Грозного.
Расскажи про вещи,которые они придумали про Россию,пожалуйста.А то интересно.
Никто не говорит "Парижская Франция", потому что политическое устройство Франции той эпохи не было завязано на Париже, чего нельзя сказать о Руси: по законам наследования де-юре правителем Руси являлся князь, правящий в Киеве, что приводило к бесконечным войнам и интригам за этот город, который давал право номинально править всей Русью. Так что название Киевская Русь вполне имеет право на жизнь, и позволяет явно отделять это политическое образование от, например, региона Русь или других русей: Залесской, Новгородской и тд
@@qwfads6365 использование термина "Киевская Русь" дает украинцам повод по-своему интерпретировать историю, говоря , что Украина является ЕДИНСТВЕННОЙ наследницей Руси, так как Киев сегодня находится на Украине.

No state in history names Kievan Rus. The term Kievan Rus was introduced in late 19 century it is a time when Kiev was a capital of centralized Russian state. And it last just for 150 years. Follow this logic we can proclaim Vladimir Rus, Rostov Rus, Moscow Rus, Saint Petersburg Rus and then again Moscow Rus. it is ridiculous. Oleg is not a son of Rurik. Very weak.

Нет, к этому видео сие не относится
@@Andriy_Sklyar Ну у России хотя бы есть история, чего не скажешь об Украине (не путать с историей украинцев).
@@Andriy_Sklyar Боже, какой ты тупой. Я же специально для дегенератов типа тебя написал, что между историями Украины и украинцами ставить = нельзя по довольно простой причине - украинцы существуют минимум несколько столетий, а Украина как государство едва больше 30 лет. Это факт и с ним ты спорить не сможешь никак.
Россия совсем другое дело. Сначала появилась собственно Россия, либо её прямой предок Московское Великое княжество, а уже в этих государствах русские как отдельная национальность от той, которая была на Руси до нашествия монгол, из которой украинцы и белорусы, собственно, появились тоже.
И это так же основная причина, почему Россия считает себя прямым наследником/продолжателем идей Руси - конкуренты в этом утверждении появились лиж в 1991 году. Раньше это даже под сомнение не ставилось, потому что претендентов, собственно, и не было.
Мне аж интересно, что ты высрать на это сможешь. Может весь мир не сумел заметить какую - нибудь великую Укрию или что - то подобное? А может русня это финно - угры, которых в 200 раз больше и финнов, и угров, и которые почему - то не понимают ни тех, ни этих, зато прекрасно в большинстве своём понимают украинский?
To call the Christianity that the Rus adopted "Orthodox" is not technically correct as the label is applied today. They adopted the Chalcedonian Christian faith, which would split into Catholic & Orthodox a century later. They aligned with Orthodoxy because of their East Roman political ties and cultural influence.
Additionally, that map did not do justice to the territory that came under the control of Poland and Lithuania. The Commonwealth contained much, much more territory--including modern Ukraine and Belarus.
Though I find it most peculiar that the question of this video's title is never finally answered. We're given the history throughout the middle ages, but nothing with respect to the developments that occurred throughout the last five hundred years. For those that are curious, the synopsis is this:
The Grand Duchy/Tsardom of Moscow and the Republic of Novgorod were the two most powerful fragments of the old Rus, and throughout the Renaissance most of the old Rus was restored under the rule of Moscow by 1600, mostly under Ivan the Great. After which Peter the Great in the 17th and early 18th centuries eventually elevated itself to the status of Empire with the acquisition of most of Siberia and the Eastern Steppe. Throughout the 18th century a very generous chunk of Poland-Lithuania was annexed through the three partitions, and acquisitions were taken from the Ottoman Turks--such as Crimea (a vassal state). Throughout the 19th and 20th century most of modern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia as well as some of the island territories in the Pacific would come under their control. The overthrow of the Tsar and the formation of the Soviet Union occurred around the time of WW1, and lasted until its dissolution and the emergence of the modern Russian Federation in 1991.
and because wine (alcohol) was allowed, at least in part of the ceremonies/rituals. one thing at least that russkies and americanos have in common.. is their alcohol. other than that every body hates an american..we're such assholes.....ain't it great.
the answer is so close and easy: Russia took mongols system of ruling. conquest all that territory and corporate as their territory making largest country in the world. its here colony, and as unique country in the world never declare to give freedom conquest territories and countries.
Their part about 900-1237 didn't do any justice either, like conquests of Oleg, his victory over Byzantine, or conquests of Svyatoslav... there were tons of stuff going on even before Mongols...

Thanks, but "Kievan Rus" is just the name of a time period, like Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece introduced as early as 19th century. It's not the name of a state. Why didn't you stress on the fact that Oleg actually had conquered Kiev before he "moved his capital to Kiev"? Vladimir is in the wrong place in your map. No mention of the Novgorod Republic, just that there was some democracy? Seriously? It has been much more influential city than Kiev. It used to be a part of the Hanseatic League if the name tells you anything.
> much more influential
Yet it always tried to separate itself as much as possible from both the Muscovites and the Kievljans, basically being for the most part a "free city" (or polis, you name it)
you know your history
Russia didn't conquer Kiev. Its like Russia attacked to Russia. Kiev was capital of rus - ancient country renamed to Russia.
arty Actually, Oleg came to Kiev, killed Askold and Dir in 882, laying claim on Kiev and the throne there. The word "Russia" didn't exist at that time, so we can say the city of Novgorod conquered Kiev in 882. Both were Slavic, true.
@Croatia Folk Tales no. Rus' formed by slavs. 1-st leader of Rus' is Rurik, he scandinavian. Ukrainians is people, who leave near border. This word happened from russian " у края", what means " near the edge". Slavic people, who live near border named the Ukrainians (ykrainci on russian) until 16 century. Before 16 century Ukrainians didn't exist, but named Cossacks. Cossacks is armoured people with weapon, who valuntery live near border and defend her. Russians didn't have army before 15 century, only civillians with weapon. In 15-17 centuries russian army was very supply and light. Only 5 000 russian soldiers and 70 000 polish soldiers. Poles occupied Moscow. Moscow was in occupation for 3 years , and rebels comed. They destroyed polish forces. Russian civil people stronger than army. Example : great fatherland war. In west this war named great patriotic war. (1941-45).
The state called "Kievan Rus" never existed, this term was coined in the XIX century to refer to the historical period when the capital was in Kiev.
Right. The state was called simply Rus
@@WatcherSCP Actually, Rous'. From this word derived Greek Rosiya. And finally, Rossiya. In the Medieval and the Early Enlightenment there was also name Russiya.
@@AlexanderSergeevRus "Russia" is an English word. The Russians themselves never called themselves that.
During the Rurik dynasty, the state was simply called "Rus", because the Viking community from which Rurik originated was called Rus. People who lived in the state of Rus - called themselves Rusy
In the Middle Ages, the name Rus was replaced by the Greek word "Rossia"
@@WatcherSCP No. In the Old Russian language this word has been writing as Роусь/Rous'. Rus' is derived from more modern word Русь.
The name Rossiya with SS became common due the reign of Peter the Great. Before this time there were 5 equal names: Rossiya, Rosiya, Russiya, Russiya and Rus'. In the different titles of Russian Tsars and in a lot of chronicles were used various forms.
@@AlexanderSergeevRus I read "The Tale of Bygone Years" and "Novgorod Chronicles" in the original. Everywhere in the ancient Russian language is written "Rous". And where do you get your tales about "Rous" from - I don't know. Sources?
After watching this for 1:50 I stopped. This is BS and not true at all. This version of Russia's origins is based on norman theory: which is the theory that Russia was founded by vikings. Rurik was not a viking, he was a Baltic SLAV! His name means 'FALCON' in ancient Slavic. Slavic people adored the falcon as it symbolized bravery and readiness to defend your motherland. On the other hand, the bird that was adored by the vikings was the raven. Ravens symbolize a completely different thing.
The norman theory was written by German ''historians'' in the 18th century named Bayer and Schloezer. They didn't speak Russian and had no interest in our culture at all. This theory doesn't even make any sense. Could you imagine any nation that defeated their enemy and then calls the enemy back to occupy them????? It makes no sense!
In reality, Rurik was a Slav, and Rus' was a result of Rurik's unification of eastern and western Slavic settlements for better protection against the Khazars, Vikings, and Germanic tribes.
Kievan rus: "Could things get any worse!?"
Mongols: "Should we tell 'em? Let's tell them."
I just love to see how ted-ed is always pissed off of Vikings wearing horn helmets.

So i did, from English wiki
The term Kievan Rus' (Russian: Ки́евская Русь, romanized: Kiyevskaya Rus) was coined in the 19th century in Russian historiography to refer to the period when the centre was in Kiev.[20] In English, the term was introduced in the early 20th century, when it was found in the 1913 English translation of Vasily Klyuchevsky's A History of Russia,[21] to distinguish the early polity from successor states, which were also named Rus. Later, the Russian term was rendered into Belarusian: Кіеўская Русь, romanized: Kiyewskaya Rus’ or Kijeŭskaja Ruś, Rusyn: Київска Русь, romanized: Kyïvska Rus′, and Ukrainian: Ки́ївська Русь, romanized: Kyivska Rus, respectively.

+Michael Aleksovski The people that become known as Rus was from middle Sweden, from a town called Roslagen (old name Roden) Dont know if that is origin of the name Rus.
This is a good intro to the huge complex story, but the transition between 4:20 and 4:30 is that very part that should have answered the question "why is Russia so big?", and it fails to do so. The whole video is about the ancient story of a rather small territory only known better because it was closer to Europe, and in fact Russia is big because in the16th, 17th, 18th and 19th century it colonized the vast territories of Siberia and Far East (in a manner that was not necessarily peaceful, but completely vegetarian compared to other European colonizers).
Unlike Britain, France, Spain and Portugal, Russia managed to keep most of its colonies and military conquests (but not all of them - and personally I am happy that many of the so-called post-Soviet republics found their way to sovereignty and better life), primarily because its rule was comparatively unobtrusive (the native population could keep their culture, language, religion and economic systems as long as they pledged loyalty and paid taxes), the assimilation was slow, gradual and often successful, and because the collapse of empires in the XXth century saw Russia occupied with completely different processes and ideas within the USSR. Another factor is that if you live in a colony and your territory is on the shore, the economic benefits of separation are potentially high. For a landlocked territory they are doubtful, and the cost of liberation is always very expensive. Therefore, many territories that are now within Russia as republics decided not to pay that cost.
loved your comment, very interesting
that's a cool piece
as a Russian, I can confirm you're right.
The power was spilit and divided lastly by the mongols and reformed in unity against such threats. After the void was made
You are clearly wrong in the place where you think that they did not impose significant pressure on occupied nations. Look up how many nationalities does RF contain and how is their culture going(there is a lot of them and their languages are dead as well as their culture). Not all the post soviet countries saved it’s culture. Look at Belarus which language is now officially dying. All the other countries are fighting their way back away from russian language to their own culture. Speaking about Ukraine, you can read about suppression of the Ukrainian language on the Wikipedia. There were around 180 laws for the last 5 centuries from Poland and Russia total, but the former is clear winner in banning. Not mentioning Stalin’s terror, Holodomor and countless elite repressions. So no, the struggle was real.

There is not concept of Kievan Rus, it's a period of time, not a territory. Part of modern cities of Ukraine were founded by Russian Emperors (like Ekaterina the Great ). There is a rich and interesting story of the state. The modern meaning Russian doesn't mean one nationality. Russia used to be the Empire, so there are lot of different nationalities and peoples (russians, buryats, kolmyks, chechens,, dagestanians, tatars and so on), but largest part are russians. Additionally there are 3 main religions : buddism, ortodoxy and muslimism. The modern Ukraine, Russia, Belarus are kin countries have a shared history (they are all slavs), language (I mean that most parts of civilians know modern russian) and now they should live in piece, mutual respect, hope so!

Slavic blood and viking rule, gotta love the Kievan Rus.

In fact, the name Kievan Rus was used much later ( 18-19 Century) by historians to determine the time when Kiev had become a capital of the land. Novgorod was the center before and Moscow became later. It is proper to call it Ancient Rus.
It is proper to call it Ancient Rus. (IRINA Vu)
As a fellow TED speaker i have to add... some facts are not accurate. For instance... the first Mongol raid with 37k ppl was not the one that swept Russia. They won and did phenomenal damage - but Russian army weakened them as well. So they left. But what Russian princes did not expect is that the Horde would return with more than 100k army (it is easy to calculate as Tomerlan had a very strict and specific "metric" system for army squads 10-100-1000-10k". And this Horde - yes, they swiped Russia with Kiev as capital - this country stopped to exist. But on the north - Novgorod managed to make a deal with the Mongols and stayed more or less independent. With time Novgorod and Moscow became the cradle for this new great commonwealth of nations. What kills me as a Russian is that many people don't know why the horde did attack Russia. The fact is - they did not want to - their intelligence told them that Russians are people of word, with strong army and rich culture. The Mongols sent emissaries to establish relations. Russian princes killed them as they thought those were spies (history says that in reality those princes did it because they wanted to engage other "brothers" in a war as a power-struggle tool). With emissaries killed the horde who's values were built on honor had no choice but to return and avenge their honor. We paid "an iron price" for this murder. But the Horde later paid for theirs - with no great leader leading the horde it becomes unmanageable. We used it. As a result - we've blended together and became one country.
There were other inaccuracies and I truly regret you decided to skip the part that is very relevant - before Mongol invasion old Russia (specifically under Vladimir "Great Nest" rule) was the most democratic country in the old world - women were allowed to learn and study + provide serious advice to the warriors. Kids went to schools (free). Most leaders were elected publicly. Most decisions were taken together - there was no typical monarchies... they were pretty unique forms of ruling. It is important for a reason - deep in our genes we feel that this vision lead as to extinction - we were unorganized, we could not take fast and effective decisions facing the horde, disputes took forever etc. I think blending with the Horde made us a country that learned its lessons and right now is trying to build something that did not exist before, something that is based on both democratic principles and ability to make fast and effective decisions overnight. It would take time - you cannot build it in one night. But I have hope.
The question is rather go into democracy or combine the power of west and east. The second is more beneficial even without complete democracy. Russians learned it hard way. Why would they want any more democracy? I think we should combine democracy for our people with the rule of an authority. Both democracy and authority are useful tools for the people.

This version of Russian history is very simplyfied and has got many "facts" which was created by foreign professors invited to Russia in 18th century who considered Russians as barbarians. Many ancient manuscript had disappeared and we have many ancient facts corrupted. Learn more about Lomonosov's biography(great Russian scientist, who lived then) "Facts" about absence of writing system among ancient Slavs are also wrong, because they had "bukvitsa" - alphabet which consisted of 54 letters-symbols.

Ilya Dergunov людям слишком много времени уделяют прошлому и мало настоящему. Они не понимают, что их будущее в большей степени определяется не какими-то там Рюриками, Ломоносовыми и пр., а ими самими
Oleg is not Rurik's son. Igor is the only known son of Rurik and Efanda. Oleg is Efanda's brother. Oleg's daughter, Olga, married Igor (yes they were cousins). And Rus people are mixed collection of Baltic, Norse and Slavic Tribes. They even raided Constantinople together. Rurik didn't unite the only Slavic Tribes he united all (Baltic Slavic and Norse) the tribes from lake Ladoga, Russia to what today is Baranovichi, Belarus to what today is Nizhny Novgorod Russia. Oleg spread the country down to Kiev. And whenever we speak about the Rus it involves what today is western Russia, Northeastern Ukraine and Belarus.
Edit: Originally Rurik and Oleg from Ladoga (Veliky Novgorod), Whether they were of Norse Slavic orBaltic origin it doesn't matter. (Slavic People Baltic and Norse people intermixed way before the viking age during the vendel period, that's why they all look alike.). Their power spread to Kiev.
Exactly!
That’s actually pretty accurate!!
Pigs and elephants cannot procreate! Haven't you ever heard the Loverboy song???
I'm sorry, but the alphabet thing is semi-accurate at best. The Cyrillic alphabet was invented specifically for the Bulgarian language. The people who invented it may or may not have been Byzantine, that is still up for debate. What is important here is that there were a lot of recently converted Slavic peoples that suddenly wanted to have liturgies in the vernacular, so the Bulgarians, themselves being Southern Slavs took to proliferating their alphabet to other Slavic nations. Proof of this can be found in the fact that nowadays, the services in Russian churches are still conducted in a proto-slavic language called Cherkovnoslavyanski, for lack of a better term, which is an ancestor to modern-day Bulgarian.
This is by far the most accurate comment on this issue. Thank you.

Чел...
Если кому вздумается перевести этот пьяный русский комментарий, то вот вам ответ почему мы такие большие - рядом с нами была Сибирь. Пока западные европейцы осваивали Америку, мы - осваивали Сибирь. Но только наши колонии не взбунтовались против метрополии и не стали самостоятельной державой. Потому что в Сибири они бы не выжили. Хе-хе
👉Это вообще, совсем разное, не надо даже сравнивать.
Потому что, колонии у них были очень далеко, за морями и за океанами, тяжелее было им контролировать их, а у вас, можно сказать что было почти рядом, по суше, рядом под носом.
Аляску же вы тоже потеряли, а потому что, было далеко, не удобно и не выгодно была её держать и содержать, хотя, она же была не так далеко, почти рядом, но, вы всё же умудрились потерять её.
А сейчас сожелеете, что отдали, но в этом вы сами виноваты.
А также, несколько остров в Океании принадлежала же России, а где же они, почему вы их потеряли, или вы просто их забыли ?
Там, на этих островах не говорят же на русском языке, а вот в европейских колониях говорят на языке колонизаторов, хотя они все находится очень далеко, от Европы, это очень, на много дальше чем Сибирь.
Сибирь и всё что есть сегодня у вас, всё это было оккупировано, захвачен вами, где-то мирно, а где-то нет, кровью, или обманом, как и все другие колонии, повсюду у других, так же и происходило.
Вам просто очень повезло, а им меньше, или вообще не повезло.
Вам повезло в том что вы жили на севере, к вам не приходили завоеватели, на вас не нападали они, вы не воевали часто и долго, вы жили мирно, без воин, в достатке и нормально размножались.
А по всюду ниже вас, на юге, на востоке и на западе, всегда воевали, разорялись, воевали, уничтожались, воевали, а вы просто спокойно размножались.
После нашествия Гунов, многие народы очень сильно пострадали, ослабли, даже те кто ещё недавно были великими и войенственнимы народами.
Многие, они ослабли, были, разорены, численность упала и вот в это время приходите вы, с севера и с лёгкостью завоевали многие народы и територии, Сербов, Хорват, Болгар, Чехов, Поляков и т.д, вес Юг, восточной Европы.
Сегодня, уже в этих странах начинают вспоминать, кем были их реальные древние предки, Болгары, Сербы, Хорваты, Поляки и многие другие народы, начинают возвращаться к своим истокам, вспоминают своих истинных предков.
Они же все были не славяне, ассимилированы и вот это они уже говорят и вспоминают.
Всё что есть у вас сегодня все територии, что вы считаете своими, всё это было в разные времена, вами захвачен, окупированно.
Наверно вы скажете что, всё что есть, всё это было всегда вашим, да ?
Но, это же всё не правда и всё это для дурачков.
На юг вы пришли в 7-8-9 века, в начале вы пришли, на при-дунайские земли, после пошли на Балканы, позже на земли ниненей Украины🔛черноморское побережье, Крым и Кавказ🔛( там же до вашего прихода, на этих огромных землях, от Дуная, до Каспии, господствовали ИраноЯзычные многочисленные племена и народы, Скифов, Сармат и Алан ), там, после Гунской орды, нашествия, они все сильно ослабли и были разорены и вы их потом легко и просто завоевали, а потом вся это огромная масса народов ассимилировались в пришлых с севера и постепенно все они стали Славяно-Язычнимы народами.
Наверно и по этому к вам, так не хорошо относятся, так называемые вами, ваши братья славяне, они хорошо знают и помнят какие вы братья и кто вы вообще, они очень хорошо знают, кто они, кем они были, кто их реальные предки, что они не были славянами, до вашего прихода к ним.
И в вас тоже, чуть ли не большинстве, не славяне, хот называете вы себя славянами, русскими и название тоже у вас Русь и Русские, не от славян, а от Рокс-Алан, это уже ИраноЯзычные слова, и это уже многими доказано и признано, даже и Росскими историками.
Просто вам всем надо больше читать и слушать, не только то что вам подходит, или то что вам нравится, но и другое тоже.
И в вас очень много, у кого предки были не славянами, но, позже они стали ими и вы сегодня уже считаете себя истинными славянами.
Но, это уже очень трудно вам доказать, а потому что, вы всё это не примите и не признаете.
Ну, возьмем для примера, только одну Украину, до прихода туда славян в 8-9 века ( в Киев ), жили там восновном, огромные массы не славянских народов и племён, в большинстве они там были ИраноЯзычные народы.
А, куда же они все изчезли, интересно, они что, просто испарились, или улетели в космос, куда же они все могли деться ? Интересно.
А, вот никуда они и не изчезли, не испарились и не улетели, они все просто, на просто все ассимилировались и стали Славяно-Язычнимы народами и всё.
Умный с этим согласиться, а дурак не поймет.
Так же и Урал, Азия, Сибирь, Север, и даже Питер и Москва, никогда не были вашими исконными землями, это всё вами захвачены, в разные времена.
В начале до Гунов, долгое время, господствовали на южных землях, только Ирано-Язычные племена и народы Скифов, Сармат и Алан, от Сибри, до Дуная, потом пришли к ним Хуны, после Хазары, а потом и ЧингисХан, а сейчась вы.
Так всегда бывает, хозяева приходят и уходят, такова жизнь, всему есть своё время.
Я уверен, что вы абсолютно не будете согласны что я здесь написал, но это же не так важно, согласны вы, или нет.
А что, от вас можно было ещё что-то другое ожидать, конечно вы будете против, не согласны, но это не имеет вообще никакого значения.
Ещё раз повторюсь, это не так важно, согласны вы или нет, главное что всё это правда и вы это даже сами очень хорошо знаете, но, вы это никогда сами не признаете как правду, просто не удобно, а если вам признать, то тогда надо будет всю эту вашу фальшивую и придуманную историю, всё за ново надо будет переписать и это будет не в вашу пользу, изменится не узнаваемо.
Ктобы, чтобы не говорил, но, всё что я написал, всё это абсолютная правда !.

But all modern historical science says what I wrote, or rather, I wrote, what they recognize and say. So all you know is all beautiful, glorious and interesting lies. But, now, if, say, in Russia all this is recognized, then it will be necessary to rewrite the entire history of Russia, remove all unnecessary things that have been piled up from the 18-19 centuries, and then everything will not be as you know, as you were taught. But, you still tell me what and what you think, I'm very interested, write.
Anyone here after Russia invaded Ukraine?
Not me, just wanted to know where Russia came from
Actually early Rus' tribes did have writing system. They had their own Slavonic runica.
Rurik did not have anything to do with Vikings. Most credible source that he was Baltic Wend.
Word Rus' is ancient Slavonic name which translates as "On the river" or "Realm on river".
yep, and the most reason why the country is so big beacause of the territory exploration to the east during 16-18 centuries.
Украинцы:это другое, русские не как не связаны с Русью!

Согласна, ведь русь и русские абсолютно непохожие друг на друга слова, не имеющие никакой связи даже на слух, то то же дело русь и украинцы
Kievan Rus was not a state. This is the territory where the Rurik dynasty ruled. Each prince was independent by himself. But family ties mattered in different situations
Oh my, Oleg wasn't the son of Rurik. He was his friend, who took the regency bc the son of Rurik - Igor, was only a year old.
oleg is his kinsman/in law.

( thoughts with all people suffering rn)
1) Государства под названием Киевская Русь никогда не существовало; 2) "Викинги правили славянами, славяне восстали и изгнали викингов, славяне начали враждовать между собой и снова призвали викингов, чтобы они навели порядок" - что он несёт? 3) Разделение христианства на православие и католицизм произошло через сто лет после крещения Руси князем Владимиром, так что Владимир при всём желании не мог "выбрать православие" которого на тот момент в природе не существовало.
Государство "Византия", по твоей логике, тоже получается не существовало, византийцы тогда называли себя "Ромейской Империей".
@@Ku_ku_clunsman Не знаю что там было в Византии. Я не византиец, а русский. И свою историю я знаю. Киевская Русь - это не название государства, а период в истории Руси. Термин этот был придуман историками только в 19 веке. Русь - это государственное образование, которое существовало в Средние века на территории современных России, Белоруссии и Украины. Главными городами Руси были Новгород, Владимир и Киев. Говорили тогда все на одном языке. Все князья тогда состояли в разной степени родства по отношению друг к другу. Культура была общей. Не было украинского языка, не было украинской культуры, не было украинских князей. Был общий язык, была общая культура, все князья были русскими от слова Русь.

История про принятие христианства связанная с вином и тд это как я помню легенда и на самом деле все обстояло куда проще. Мать Владимира, уже давно скрытно крестилась в христианство, да и это имело очень большое политическое значение, так как принятие христианства давало защиту от тогда ещё сильной византийской империи
Защиту? Они же Византию все плавали грабить. Может правители хотели построить сильное государство, и по остаточному принципу выбрали христианство по восточному образцу.
