School's approach to learning is always very disheartening. After entering my 20s, I begun re-learning all of my countrys history, European history, world history - I could not get enough, because when you learn it yourself - you focus on the *events* - the *stories* told, not the stupid dates!
It’s the same with my country. We mostly focused on dates instead of the details and most of my teachers look like they’re not even interested in it. I even corrected some my teachers many times because they get the history wrong. That’s why I love it when our class talks about history in the room because that’s where I shine and feel good about myself even if it’s at least just an hour.
That was discussed in one of my degree classes, the shift from didactic lecture learning to self paced learning. The negative part is that students end up being all over the map and th as t may make things harder on the teacher. Relearning content is very common in college.
@@gdiaz8827 Good point about all the students being at different levels, if learning from their own pace. This is not a hinder though, but definitely a complication, which expands the problem of education, and asks us about the nature of curriculum, classes etc. Whenever I practically think of education, especially the primary/secondary set, I always come to the conclusion that it needs a complete revamping - but also that such a revamping would probably be prohibitively expensive (LOTS of individual focus on different students), at least in the kind of commercially focused society we inhabit for now.
Exactly my issue with school history. Also, it tends to be a bit over-simplified itself - these videos are actually less over-simplified than what I learned in school! Furthermore, it tends to contain quite a bit of propaganda, at least when it comes to national history. I learned more and better history from books and youtube documentaries...
I love this channel--and the jokes spread into the videos make it not boring, can't fall asleep. well done, go to this channel and give this guy some support--he deserves it, and there is so much more stuff over there.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Actually, beetroot is still a base of sugar production in more temperate regions. For example, sugar cane doesn;t grow in Europe.
@@gratius1394 Its also a cheaper substitute because sugar cane isnt exactly the cheapest crop to grow and process. Not as cheap and plentiful as Beets are anyways. Idk if this is the case in other countries but in the USA you have to check to make sure the granulated sugar you buy is marked CANE SUGAR. Because often times the cheapest supermarket sugar is actually beetroot sugar. Ive been duped before and was pissed because I do a lot of baking and can taste a subtle difference. Just thought id give a warning to anyone who didnt know this.
Love your reaction, I can't blame you for getting absorbed into all the knowledge that comes from the Oversimplified videos, even I at some point started paying more attention to the video than you but I love history and know many odd pieces but for sure I don't know a whole lot of Russian history, it's not really something you learn in Canada. Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts and what you remember, it's part of the fun of these reactions, to get a different perspective to something :)
13:52 I think I get the joke here; Trotsky kinda looks like Colonel Sanders in this photo (one of KFC’s slogans in the states is “it’s finger-licking good.”)
You caught the idea of humour and other entertainment making things more memorable perfectly. The way in which we are taught history in school is terrible, but many credit bands such as Iron Maiden and more recently Sabaton with getting them good grades. Videos like this could go a long way in making history more popular in schools if presented to students, just as they have triggered huge interest in history in this online form.
I had a course in high school here in America on Russian history (it was an elective/optional course) but I really enjoyed learning about it even though it was written by Western scholars so I can only assume there was some bias in how it was presented. But this series on Oversimplified reminded me of what we learned in that class and was very entertaining to watch with you!
Don't worry about not talking during the video. You can cover it at the end. These videos are for learning never apologize for learning. You're awesome ❤️💚☘️
Don't feel bad, Dasha. I never learned anything from school. I have learned more from the Internet and television than I ever did in school. I am always watching the Discovery Channel and the History Channel.
If I were a history teacher, I would use this guys videos a lot for a starting point for studding different world histories. I would tell my students to try to remember the dates and the main people involved.
Just a kind piece of advice. Try to fill the empty space around you in order to reduce the 'echo' happening in the background. Additional furniture, or some pictures/paintings on the wall. Highly suggest avoid using "personal pictures" as much as possible. Don't want too much personal information on full display when using the internet. Might not hurt to have a thick blanket hanging behind you somehow. Just something to fill in the "empty space" is all you need, nothing fancy. And you will be surprised how much a simple hanging blanket can reduce 'echo effect' from happening.
90% of what i learned about history, i did outside of school. that's right, i learned on my own with youtube and books that made it more entertaining. so i don't blame you for not knowing your history.
Most Americans don't eat borscht, but it's a fairly well-known dish here. There used to be a series of resorts in Upstate New York known as the "Borscht Belt".
What you've just view is one of the most unbiased, historically accurate versions of history ... things I have ever seen. Among all studies of the history of Russia from the Rurik dynasty to the modern era, there is perhaps not a single material evidence refuting at least one thesis of this video or not mentioning any facts, to give other point of view more weight (that the Red Terror was a response reaction to unmentioned White doesn't count. I said) Everyone on this channel now has plus 100 intelligence to the previous number. I award us no points of knowledge, and may God have mercy on our souls.
Things didn't change fast for any regime. Only when the press was suppressed & controlled did the propaganda make it look like things got better in a hurry. It took years for this to get better for the common Russian. Good reaction Dasha.
I have heard snide remarks from quasi-intellectuals saying: "in 100 years historians will say Stalin was a great leader" when they look back on what he had accomplished.
There's another series of RUclips videos, with a similar style to Oversimplified, called Plainly Difficult. It deals with various disasters, mostly man made, from all over the World.
I didn't learn anything of importance until after i graduated from school and started reading history books myself. Canadian schools sound about as boring as Russian schools.
Could be worse. History was the one class I did enjoy. Which resulted in a double work load in college. Cool thing about these. Is it has that entertainment factor. Since it keeps your attention. There is a real good chance. You will see something that you want to know a little more about.
Ya might want to listen Night Witches - Soviet pilot squadron o all females in WW II, That Swedish band Sabaton did a song about ruclips.net/video/5YPo8zDkvy4/видео.html They make songs of all nations, not by nationality, but by what they did..
Although this is, of course, oversimplified, it could have paid a bit more attention to the Soviets, which were rather more important than presented here. It takes a rather "great man theory of history" approach, driven by personalities, which is not how history really works. The Russian Revolution remains an inspiration to many millions around the world.
If you are starting oversimplified reactions, you have to watch the grand daddy of all history youtube videos, "History of the entire world, I guess." ruclips.net/video/xuCn8ux2gbs/видео.html
I'm surprised you can follow his commentary! He talks so fast! Unless you have a perfect grasp of American English, it would be very difficult to follow. And yes..his "history lessons" should be shown in schools.
"Oh, that's adorable but... no" Best line in this video.

When I was a child and saw a photo of Joseph Stalin, I always thought he looked so friendly. Oh how I was wrong. Kids are dumb af.

You'll like the French Revolution video from Oversimplified. It's an obvious comparison to the Russian Revolution and the 2 videos are entertaining.
But The Russian Revolution was better because it was communist 😏
@@Nurembergwarcriminal So was the French one, in a sense. Similar ideals, which evolved after that.
eberything os good on the oversimplified channel. WW1, WW2, American revolution & civil war, Cold war, prohibition & a lot more.
I'm very fond of the idea of explaining complicated stuff in a way a 6 year old could understand. I feel Oversimplified captures that idea very well.
I love this channel--and the jokes spread into the videos make it not boring, can't fall asleep. well done, go to this channel and give this guy some support--he deserves it, and there is so much more stuff over there.
I like how Finland has quietly snuck out of Russia between 17:10 and 18:40. Nobody even noticed!

I feel like the Cold War by Oversimplified would be the best sequel to this video ever.
Russia is not a total failure! Russia made YOU! ;)🥰

I love the sirens at the six minute mark, I know she can’t hear it but it makes the video a little Erie😂
I had to pause the video to make sure it wasn't outside my house.
@@GreenJeepAdventures I thought it was part of the video and my Deaf ass couldn't hear it LMAO
Don't feel bad, Dasha. I never learned anything from school. I have learned more from the Internet and television than I ever did in school. I am always watching the Discovery Channel and the History Channel.
A Russian opinion on these events is refreshing, everyone loves learning about their history.
Two very important lessons learned here
1) Stalin was very bad at math
2) Lenin hated his mother-in-law
I really enjoyed your reaction to the Oversimplified Russian Revolution. Also Borsht soup you described contains beets. Very tasty.
Borsht is very well know and very popular in the USA.
Man I friggin love this girl's personality. I need a Dasha to hang out with here in America. Lol.
You know Dasha, since you mentioned it, I wonder how good your borscht is...
Great video yet again!
16:00 Ya been lied to by your Dictator. Evil empire, remember.
22:00 Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to evil.
Dasha looking completely perplexed after two sentences is so funny

Borscht Soup and Pelmeni are awesome!!!
Subbed and liked. I appreciate you doing these videos
You got a new subcriber :)
The purple vegetable is called "Beets" in English, and served here with sour cream.
ur so cute dasha and I noticed Stalin in the background of the commist utopia thing
my great-grandfather was with the Czechoslovak legions in Russia
In (British) English the main vegetable in Borscht is called 'Beetroot'.
Dasha, you are the cutest you tuber in the whole world, I love your reaction's, greetings from Minnesota USA
Great reaction! Dasha = BABE!
It would be very interesting to see you react to the Cold War by Oversimplified.

The purple vegetable that you put in borscht is called a beet in English, or beetroot if you're in England.
You should react to the Napoleonic Wars, that's the most recent video
Yup, good sugestion
I hope she does more oversimplified, love his videos and seeing people learn from them
I learned two things
1) Stalin was very bad at math.
2) Lenin hated his mother-in-law

Hunny, the soup you are meaning is called borscht. The round red vegetable it is made from is called a beet.

You're referring to beets. I've never had the opportunity to have borscht.

Don't forget the sour cream.
I love your reaction!

rect to geography now russia it’s a really informative and interesting video
Эхх..мне о таком акценте только мечтать
You should do the video oversimplified did on the emu war
This was fun!

Leon Trotsky was named Leon Bronstein and he was jewish. Most of Bolshevik leadership was jewish.
React to the Cold War Oversimplified
Check out the American revolution simplified!
Rote memorization of facts. Seems to be a universal failure of education.
I would love to learn what you school taught you about Rasputin.
Is there a link to your new channel?
Great reaction! You should do his cold war videos next
