If you remember learning things differently, even if you're not sure, let us know. It's really insightful to see how people from other countries view historical events. Keep up the good work 👍
agreed
Exactly!!
History is a lie, winner sides always write the history and also I think this video was very simple than simple 😂
@@steven-y6jso you think the entire history has been made up by the Winning side and the loosing side never reveals the truth of how it happenend
As an old man who grew up during the Cold War. I enjoy hearing a Russian perspective on this
It's so fun watching a Russian react to this video. As a Canadian, I have to say I have watched all the Oversimplified videos and you're correct, they make learning or re-learning something "fun"! Perhaps one day Oversimplified will tackle the War of 1812 because the US and Canada have not always played "nice". ;) Looking forward to your reaction to Part 2.
What did you think of the threat to invade Canada at the end of the newest video lol
@@JonahNelson7 I can't say I've read any US History books, however we were told in Canada that our recollection and History were more accurate (something about marching down and burning down the White House kinda rubs 'Merican's the wrong way). All that being said, invade away today. I don't think America could destroy Canada as much as our Government has the past 2 years...
We'd burn down the Whitehouse again as well.
@@Malryth It depends if america can do it. Like in 1812 it was pretty much a tie so maybe it could be a tie again. Or be a minor canadian victory or whatever whatever
The war overall might be a stalemate, but I guarantee that Canadian forces wouldn't make it too far. There are more guns in America than there are people, and a land invasion of our homeland would be met by fierce resistance of the local citizens... Something like 150 million strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment and would volunteer as militia to help defend.
Good luck! 😉
Russian girl reacting to a cartoon about the Russian Revolution, never would have thought of it. Thank you I enjoyed your video and thumbs up.
14:10 Matryoshka dolls are quite well known outside Russia (many Western countries just refer to them as 'Russian Dolls').
Dutch call 'em Matryoshka Dolls. Germans and nordics too, probably.
@@JoshSweetvale Then I guess it's not western countries, it's just Britain. Not the first time we've ignored proper names for things and come up with our own.
As a child, I knew Matryoshka dolls not by name, but they were those doll within a doll within a doll doll and I found them intriguing.
Took me one or two years to learn about Russia. Disney's Peter and the Wolf.
And then of course: Soviet Union Cold War Warsaw Pact etc. etc.
A few years later I was a young teen playing Theatre Europe on my family's Commodore 64 and trying to keep the Warsaw Pact from advancing into West Germany. I learned that launching a nuke would increase tensions and the threat of global nuclear war. But launching a chemical strike after that would lower tensions etc. etc. Weird.

As a learner of Russian and someone who intends to learn the more common Slavic dialects, this stuff offers an insight into how some things in the culture and language work.
Dascha, I know this is very late. Sorry. But in answer to your question "That's how everyone one sees us?"
As a child of the Cold War, basically, yes. That is kind of how we visualized Russia, as a miserable place to live. I have since learned otherwise, but that is the way it was.
(My current understanding is the Siberia in particular is actually quite beautiful. A bit of a cultural backwater, but beautiful).
I'm glad I decided to watch your reaction to this subject. As an American I don't normally get the Russian perspective on things like this, Imagine that... I'm learning from a Russian woman young enough to be my daughter. Thanks kid!
There's another angle in this that's not often mentioned: The Russian peasants were mostly Slavic by ethnicity, but the Tsar's family and most of the Russian aristocrats were descended from Vikings from centuries ago. In fact, the Slavs referred to their Viking conquerors as 'Rus', which means 'foreigner'. That might also be why there was little connection between Russian peasants and the aristocrats.
Actually, the Slavs did not come up with the name "Rus." The name derives from the Old Norse ruotsi, which is an old name for Sweden, where the Eastern Vikings mostly came from. Ruotsi comes from Proto-Norse roots which mean "rowers." There was certainly a disconnect between the peasants and aristocracy, but by the early 20th Century, it had been 1,000 years since the Scandinavian Rus had begun settling in the region, and their society had long been assimilated into the native Slavic one. I doubt many peasants even knew the origin of the Rus, let alone consider it a factor in their hatred of the aristocracy.
Actually, Nicolas had German, Danish, Prussian, Greek, Baltic and dozen of other "bloods", cause Russian tsars used to make international marriages a lot
Dasha: "Is that how people see Russia?"
Me: "Welcome to the club"
Wonderful reaction by the way. If you are interested Extra Credits is wrapping up a series on Rasputin that is quite fascinating that might be worth checking out. Sadly we do not seem to be any closer to figuring out how the goat got on the roof.
The historical story of the Russian fleets attempting long voyage to Asia to combat Japan 🗾 is an amazing story.
"I don't remember what was going to happen, but I do remember the date" - yes, that's exactly the problem with schools!
I loved history, I even read the school manuals by myself in the first week I got them!
But I always hated that we had to memorize the dates!
I'm bad with numbers, and it was especially bad that they didn't give me enough context for those events.
So I hated school history!
Not to mention that they insert propaganda into it.
Thankfully, there are now youtube documentaries which can satisfy my love of history.
It's quite strange especially considering what happened and what caused what is the whole point of studying history, with exact dates being more in the realm of metadata
@@JonahNelson7 Exactly, the context is the important stuff.
Thankfully, with the ubiquity of internet access, we can now look up the dates whenever we need, instead of having to search for a specific book.
So we should be focusing more and more on understanding the context which lead to a specific historical situation.
You're the perfect person for this reaction. I already watched the video a while ago--I was waiting for YOUR reaction about this, because you're from there.. Thanks for your personnal comments, it help understand things a bit better. And you're right about the way to introduce the sponsor--well done, they did something similar on their video about the american civil war. Have a nice day.
I grew up in Cuba, and we had those imported nestled dolls. Called "Babushkas' if memory serves. Don't know their actual name.
I believe it is called a Matryoshka in Russian.
In ‘Murica, they are Russian nesting dolls.
This is one of the better Oversimplified. I hope it isn't too quick for you though.
The word "tsar" is closely related to the word "caesar" (both end with -sar, and both begin with a consonant), the word "caesar" also moved into germanic use, where it became "kaiser"
Both "tsar" and "kaiser" are words that evolved from the same latin/roman word "caesar"
fun fact: In spanish saying "el César" (the Caesar) can equate to saying "the emperor" but we have an actual word for emperor, that being emperador, so you only encounter "el César" in old age-of-exploration texts and titles.
And that word, naturally - also comes from latin, from "imperator", translating roughly to "commander" or "ruler" depending on context.
Etymology is always super interesting, because words are so fluid, and will change *exact* meanings quickly, but the theme or topic will usually stay related, often over centuries!
Take the spanish word "rey" from latin "rex" to german "reich" and norwegian "rike" - exact meanings change from "ruler" to "empire" to "country" - but the *theme* is very similar across - the rulership of land.
@@zegh8578 exactly, so interesting
The romans pronounced C's as K's so caesar is almost pronounced the exact same way
Personally my favorite evolution of it is the salad.
12:00 Little did you know you’d me making an ad for the same sponsor a few months later lol
Love your reactions. I've always been interested in the Russian perspective of history.
We learned in school about Siberian geography.
Tundra. Permafrost. Nice.
What non-Dutch people may learn about The Netherlands:
Water. Water. Water.
Fortunately the Dutch wear clogs that float.
It's weird, but I must confess I have photos of Nicholas II, the Tzar, swimming naked on my cellphone.
Я русская, и я просто обожаю мемы про Николая II, они мне кажутся забавными lol
1:30 Being a student of Russian history this is how the world saw Russia in the late 19th & early 20th. It was a time of virtual 'serfdom' in Russia. And it is oversimplified remember. LOL!! This almost didn't happen in 1867 but nobility decided to keep things the way they were. 11:55 That is an ad. 17:32 As I recall it wasn't that peaceful either. But the Leib Guard (Лейб-гвардия) were prone to shoot with little provocation also. The truth will probably never be known about Bloody Sunday.
Don't feel badly that you seem to have learned only dates and facts, but not the story linking them all together. That's a common failing in the way history is taught in U.S. high schools too (or, at least, it was when _I_ attended). In my opinion, teaching the STORY of hiSTORY would be much more useful and effective, even if the dates were all completely ignored.
If you want to see worse...check out the French Revolution after you finish the part two of this one.
Yes Louis was way worse than Nicholas.
Not worse. They didn't end up with Communism followed by Putin.
It was hilarious for a few seconds when Dasha was puzzled and trying to figure out how the russian secret police had nordvpn 🤣🤣😂
We call those dolls Russian Dolls :D
Russian nesting dolls or The Matryoshka dolls
Has anyone noticed that she wasn't laughing and trying to hide his smile when there was a joke about Lenin in video ? 😂😂
"nobody thought a small underdeveloped country could defeat a European superpower" oh how history has repeated itself
Rasputin had a very special power, he had a big one.
Some of my family was in Russia but WW1 came and they left quickly.

Царь происходит от слова Цезарь.
Точно также, как и Кайзер (Император Германии)
Почему так? Вероятно, потому что и Россия, и Германия видели себя приемниками Рима.
Россия потому, что бабушка первого Царя России Ивана 4 Грозного была София Палеолог, племянница последнего Василевса Византии (Восточной Римской Империи) Константина 11. Ну, а Германия потому что более 1000 лет была центром такого образования, как Священная Римская Империя (которая вообщем-то с Римом ничего общего и не имела, а и была вообщем-то и не совсем Империей, да и не особо священной, но ладно).
We learned all this stuff in 7th grade Russian history class. It's like being back in middle school watching this video.
i don't know if you have seen it, but there is an animated/cartoon movie from 1997 called Anastaistia, that is losely based on the Tsar famaily, after the revelotion. if you haven't pls do a reaction, your insigth would be nice, and you can probely make out some mistakes about Russia:)
Love from the UK
She should watch the fallen of ww2
You should react to Henry VIII oversimplified
I wonder what the Russian youth think about their not so distant Soviet past. Or what the older generations think about it compared to the federation
If you consider the tens of millions of Russians and other peoples who died 1914-1945 from the 2 world wars, the Russian Civil War, the famines, disease epidemics, the purges, the pogroms, the Gulags, and the Holocaust, it seems remarkable there are any people left in the former Soviet countries.
fun video
All humans are the same, it's just that some have more opportunity to do damage

Back in that time, no where was a good place to live unless you were rich.

11:52 just a brief pause to insert a little capitalism.

I like Oversimplified. Also when you are done with the Russian Revolution, it leads nicely into the Cold War. :)
You should react to/watch Dr. Zhivago! its an old movie but I think the tender side of you might like it.
Strange what they teach in other countries. And mine
Do NOT want to sound cruel, but there is very little doubt that a LOT of what really was going on simply isn't taught in Russia today. I say this because it is a well known fact that BOTH The Communist "re-wrote" some history to make themselves to look better, and Stalin himself "re-wrote" some history of people to make HIMSELF look better.
So, with history being re-written several times, there are some "real" history that has been twisted or simply ignored that isn't taught.
On the other hand? Well, for the USA it is basically taught as something really "simple". The Russians pulled out of WW1 and "The October Revolution" was mostly peaceful and placed the Communist Party into power..... for nearly 70+ years until it 'collapsed" with the Berlin Wall coming down. (Which itself skips a TON of history to push that narrative.)
Lenin, Stalin, and most of the Russian leadership are taught as "types" not so much as actual "people". Focusing mostly on the "abuse of power" more than anything else (overlooking a lot of the horrible things that the Communist did) or simply the "Cold War" mentality of Russia spying, lying and cheating their own citizens and using "fear" to remain in power.
Not sure how it is taught NOW, as I finished 12th grade in 1990, roughly the time that "Communist Russia" collapsed. So, I am sure that the history of Russia is taught differently today than it was when I was still in school.
It's not like American history books aren't filled with outright lies about its own history, though. The origin myths of Columbus and Pilgrims and Puritans are laughably absurd. Manifest Destiny is glorified Lebensraum. Racism and imperialism are essentially swept under the carpet, in the Alamo and Civil War, to name only a few . And what kind of Russian history classes did you take? The October Revolution was mostly peaceful? American textbooks are far too dogmatically capitalist and xenophobic to accept that.
hi Dasha i like history too. Can you react to Putin rise to power?😁
French had also many balls and that ended pretty bad for the aristocracy :P
Loved your face when he said, communism :'D
We also had these toys in Greece, i think we call them babushka (that means grandma, right?)
I like your shiny shirt. :)
I can't believe they would actually be cruel enough to exile a guy to somewhere where he has to actually live with his wife. I mean that is just too cruel.
Sad part is, disregarding peoples personal opinions, the economy, quality of life, and military power were greater under Soviet times than they are now, I always wondered what it would be like to live in Tsarists Russia and the Soviet Union hahaha

She’s really pretty.
please react the cold war oversimplified
Have you ever read *_"Animal Farm"_* ???
What are the teachings on Leon Trosky in Russia? I am VERY curious on the current Russian interpretation on this man and if they are more accurate than what I have seen? I get the impression that if he rather than Stalin took control of Russia it would be a MUCH different place for the better. What do you think Dasha?
Ha ha "better" with Trotsky
Trotsky was a radical warmonger who believed it was the Russian duty to spread the Revolution worldwide because the capitalists would never allow a "socialist island" to exist. He was also a major proponent of collectivization, to the point where Stalin's policies were actually toned-down versions of his own. Trotsky wasn't a socialist humanist, he was an arrogant fanatic who spent the rest of his life after losing the power struggle shit-talking Stalin over his own bitterness.
@@TheAngryXenite Hmmm that's a unique interpretation of the man, I guess it boils down to who's vision for the future of Russia was more beneficial to the people, the iron fist of Stalin or the revolutionary ideals of Trotsky. Keep in mind that under the right circumstances and leadership collectivization could potentially work. Stalin had Trotsky assassinated to shut him up for I guess you could say shit-talking coz he kinda did but that may be because Stalin was destroying the promise of revolution for the people and becoming a brutal dictator, purging the intellectuals and political opponents and sending them off to die in the Gulags and so on. I would like to know why you think Trotsky was a warmonger? if you could let me know I'd appreciate it. Cheers
@@davidmcmahon4192 Trotsky was a man who crushed the naval men at Kronstadt for rising against a form of socialism they felt was becoming totalitarian and losing the way. This was, in general, his role as Commissar for War; crushing people underfoot for the crime of rebelling against the Soviet government and getting in the way of Lenin (and him) and their vision of the future. I do not doubt that he believed strongly in what he said, but it is indisputable that he considered it worth it to kill as many people as necessary to drive his beliefs forward. Collectivization would have been no different. Think of how Stalin's relentless march to industrialization, at such a rapid pace, caused so much suffering in Russia. By design in fact, as it relied on making things so bad in the countryside that rural peasants would be forced to move to cities, where they could be put to work in the factories and ideally be made proletariats rather than the religious, conservative, and apathetic class known as the peasants. That was arguably the second goal of Collectivization, breaking the power of the peasants to ever threaten a Russian government again. Remember all of this, and then understand that what Stalin did was a lesser version of the same things Trotsky intended for the USSR. Trotsky would have pursued even more radical industrialization, more strict collectivization of agriculture. Simply by necessity he'd have built a mountain of corpses, and his past conduct shows that he wouldn't balk at that.
As for him being a warmonger, Trotsky was the father of something called the thesis of Permanent Revolution. This was the counter policy to the idea of "Socialism in One Country" championed by Bukharin, and later adopted more famously by Stalin. Socialism in One Country believed that the Soviet Union was simply not powerful enough to spread the Revolution by force in any massive way, and so its efforts would be better spent developing the USSR itself, repairing the great wounds caused by the Great War and Civil War, and working to uplift the impoverished country into a beacon of Socialism the world over. This way, it was believed, Socialism could begin to spread without a single Soviet troop dying, as the proof of the success of Socialism would show capitalism to be the outdated mess they believed it to be and workers would begin rising up on their own. This plan was also heavily tied into the New Economic Policy, which is basically the idea that the Soviet Union was not correctly developed for socialism yet as it barely had a capitalist element, and so a period of pseudo-capitalism would be needed to create a wider population ready to build socialism, rather than a nation of peasants lorded over by Red boyars. This was... less well received by Stalin.
Anyway, I went into this diatribe about Socialism in One Country because it helps with context for its opposing plan, Permanent Revolution. Where the former believed that Socialism was best being built up in the Union, Trotsky believed that such a plan was doomed from the beginning. No capitalist country would permit a socialist island to exist BECAUSE, like Bukharin proposed, its mere existence would serve to give their own workers movements something to point to as a successful alternative to capitalism. Probably inspired by the intervention of European powers and Japan into the Russian Civil War, Trotsky believed that soon, the Soviet Union would face another great invasion from the forces of reaction, and that if socialism was to survive, it had to not only prepare to resist, it had to aggressively expand its frontiers. In other words, for socialism in one country to exist, it had to be spread to EVERY major power around the world. So long as a single major capitalist economy remained, there would be endless challenges to socialist ascension and so, the Permanent Revolution. A global crusade to "liberate the working class" and spread communism at the end of a rifle's barrel, in a strange form of preemptive self defense.
@@TheAngryXenite I just watched a documentary on Trotsky (ruclips.net/video/o6T7tzrriUk/видео.html) and you are absolutely 100% correct that he was indeed a warmonger and a bad one at that. Thank you for helping me come to this realization m8.
The situation of the Russian people during the rule of the tsars was extremely similar to that of the French before their revolution. I also think it's worth pointing out that they had more than a few screw-ups on their way from monarchy to democracy. I have quite the affinity for the ideals of the Russian revolution, regardless of it getting derailed by people both inside and outside the country.
This might explain why you do not remember anything in school about the 1905 war with Japan:

Dasha, you spoke so quietly and too fast, I could not understand you, and I wanted so much to know your real opinion, on history of your country.
My great Grandparents left RUSSIA, to escape Czar Nicholas in 1906......We are American now. Would like to know current Young Russians, How they feel
about growing up in Russia, and What you think of America, Putin, Trump, Biden, old Soviet Union, the works.
PLEEEEEEZZZZEEE!
Your grandparents made a right choice
2021 and still nothing has changed in Russia. How sad is that.
I have to admitt russian women are beautiful
For some reason eastern european women are more attractive than their western counterparts
@John Gregory lol😂
This Oversimplified History is a pretty biased one, even using some cold war anti communist rhetoric, but it is fun animation
Sasha you should look up the RUclipsr Bald and Bankrupt and do some of his videos. He travels to Russia and other countries

Please spell out your full name, you say it so fastI cant understand ?
Yous realise alot of Putins policies and ideals follow Alexander III right?
I find it interesting how you say you are ashamed after the video describes the conditions of the serfs in the 19th Century. I'm American and many of us ignore or try to defend the shameful parts of our past. Indeed, many Americans believe that the past was the "good old days" and clamor for a return to a mythical past which, of course, never existed.
WTF are you braying about? The Critical Race Theory propagandists that run the public schools focus on the "shameful parts" to the exclusion of everything else.
@@tokenjoy You just proved my point. Go wave your Confederate Flag, Karen.
@@jessewright2319 You can't be that effin' stupid. Stop looking for RACISTS(!) under your bed and smell the coffee, sweetie.
@@tokenjoy Funny how you are the only one who mentioned race. It's also funny you mention things "hiding under your bed" when "critical race theory" is the latest boogeyman used to make alt right thugs hysterical. I suppose trans athletes have run their course.
@@jessewright2319 You're the one who brought up the Confederate battle flag, sweetie, which is a racialist totem for the left. And CRT is the latest racialist propaganda by the totalitarians and their "useful idiots" like you. You own it sweetheart.

Y are Russian women so dam beautiful wow
I remember reading the communist manifesto and not only being wholly unimpressed but also amazed at how bad of a writer Marx was, I'm pretty sure the manifesto could have been a pamphlet if Marx was so in love with his own speech, and Das Kapital would likely be a single relively short book.
Russian women are so beautiful

Quite so.
