[A Disclaimer shamelessly full of tags]: This is of course an oversimplified version of the original story. Some of the smaller details I have of course left out (e.g. the sam onella in the food). I have casually explained some of the context surrounding the time frame, but of course I couldn't do an unboxing of the whole history of japan. There is no mention of Pewdiepie or fortnite in this video.
I love how it starts as a shitshow and then relentlessly gets worse until the climax.
I heard another part were when they finally got there, the first actual Japanese ship they encountered, basically they told them “we are here to sneak up on you”
Luckily nothing embarrassing has happened to the Russian navy since.
🤣
Except when they did
Idk how I found this
Idk how I’m here
But I know that I am proud to be part of this moment.
welcome to the basement
@@howistoast how is this not more popular?! wat
Russia: For when losing your flag ship to an enemy that doesn't even have a navy and you, somehow, feel it's less embaressing to say that it WASN'T sunk by the enemy but, rather, an accident... And it isn't even a blip on your long list of blunders.
This was the most funny video I've watched in some time! Brilliant work! Keep it going!
It's even more funny considering that it actually happened.
Be really cool if they made a Death of Stalin-esque farcical comedy about this
It's sort of like a naval version of the hangover where everyone dies in the end. The moral of the story is you don't need to be exceptional if your opponent is really shit.
Which is the insult added to this fleet's injury. They were the worst fleet on the seven seas ... and in the Straits of Tsushima they encountered one of the best -- and were duly slaughtered.
i really like your style of illustrating/editing :D i didn't know i needed this story in my life! keep it up ;) p.s Toast is adorable!
Thanks a lot, that is very kind of you to say!
A good story to explore would be Brazil's attempt to fight during World War I. It was literally a series of unfortunate events that lead the Brazilian troops to arrive in Europe a day after the amnesty.
Oh God. Is this for real? Oh God, my head hurts ...
118 years later and Russia still hasn't learned a thing.
This incident needs to be a movie.
Why do you have to be this delusional. It's almost a clische.
3:02 not much has changed on this front in over 100 years....
watching the video that absolutely roasts the Russian fleet right after April 14th 2022 is an absolute delight
I want to know more about the Africa trip... Any autobiographies elaborating on those wild adventures?
Really friggin interesting and entertainingly told! Keep them coming please how is toast!
The Africa-Madagascar misadventures included Aurora getting a pet Nile crocodile that ate some of her crew. Not a joke.
Funny how half of this video basically were actions by the repair ship, the Kamchatka. May here incompetence never be forgotten.
The Kamchatka: the best Japanese ship that didn't actually serve in the Japanese navy.
Just leaving a comment to increase your exposure! :)
Thank you very much for that!
Hi! I am from Ukraine, thank you for such a fun graphic story, which even in such a difficult time made me laugh. These Orcs, also known as the russians, do not change...You can already make similar stories about current events. Some russians come to us to commit genocide of Ukrainians, others get acquainted with the toilet bowl and washing machine for the first time, and then try to steal them to Russia.
with all respect you were part of these orcs in the past and you cant denie it . you fought side by side in the crimean war , you fought side by side in ww2 (even tough a portion of you joined the axis) and you both spilled your blood for that land . millions of russians died for crimea and ukraine in these wars , you were both aiming your nukes on the rest of the world ready to destroy it or die trying to defend it together like brothers . you both had nukes for the common cause . so dont split your history from theirs just because you are independent now . even the Kievan Rus is a Rus/Russian and dont be offended by this , many times in the past that state was known as Russia of Kieve , so dont denie it , dont change it , you are one people and one nation .
you are like kosovo and serbia, like iraq and kuweit, like the 2 koreas , like morocco and algeria , like idian and pakistan . 1 history , 2 different mentalities .
see your actual war as a civil war , dont hate everything about them because when you do it you do hate yourselvs too because your history was shared troughout most of your existence .
@@LauftFafa You know very little about our history, Ukraine is a descendant of Kievan Rus, Cossack Hetmanate and Ukrainian People's Republic. Russia is a descendant of the Golden Horde and Muscovy.
You can read how Western researchers in the 15th-17th centuries described Ukrainians and Russians. Ukrainians were already described as literate, tidy and freedom-loving at that time. At the same time, the Russians were slaves, illiterate, lived in the swamp and could not use a fork.
The Russians are not even ethnically Slavic, they descended from Finno-Ugric peoples and tribes such as the Merya and the Moksha.
Enough to read Russian fakes, we have never been brothers with them and fought almost our entire history. The goal of Ukrainians is to live and prosper among equal European nations, at the same time the goal of Russia is to drag everyone into its swamp of degradation.
@@AndriyMaydan wow the propaganda here . Calling russians as uncivilised and you as civilised . Even calling them descendants of the golden horde as if it wasn't them who defeated ans annexed them .
Like it or not the country ukraine didn't appear until recently , Rus is the name that the name Russia was made from while Ukraine only mean land of the extremity or far land and probably have turkik origins .
Also funny how you mention a date where kieve was nothing more but a border city between Poland and muslim crimea and the already established russia. Funny even mire you mention the cossak state that in case you didn't know was vassal of russia .
@@LauftFafa Russia has the same relation to Kievan Rus as the Roma to Rome. The old ethnonym of Ukrainians is Ruthenians, but Russians are Muscovites. They simply stole our name in the 18th century, when Ukraine-Rus was occupied by Muscovy. And that is why the Ruthenian intelligentsia had to adopt a new ethnonym - Ukrainians, which came from the name of the territory - Ukraine.
It's funny about Kyiv in general. Kyiv is 700 years older than Moscow, when Moscow was just founded Kyiv was one of the three largest cities in Europe.
@@AndriyMaydan Could you post some sources?
Nice video there are very few things in history that can top the disastrous voyage of the Second Baltic Fleet I'm already pretty familiar with it thanks to BlueJay's own amazing video about it but I did not know that he left out details like the opium laced cigarettes and Admiral Rozhestvensky ditching the captain that was criticizing him in Spain who got revenge on him by backing up the fleet with the worst ships that he could get his hands on because to him having a pissing contest was way more important then winning a fucking war and after what happened to the Moskva back in April I can see that very few things have changed since 1904
Fun fact: Those 'worst ships he could get his hands on' were about the best that the Baltic fleet could muster anyway... Yes, it was that bad
@@johncunningham6928Which is what turned Rozhestventsky otherwise by all accounts a very competent and conscientious officer, into "Mad Dog." I defy even the purest-hearted saint to deal with Rodhestventsky's problems without Hulking out.
Another fun little detail: One of the two ships that got friendly-fired at Doggerbank was also the same ship that then got friendly-fired again by Kamchatka off of Madagascar. Said ship? The cruiser Aurora. Yes, the one that would go on to fire the first shots of the October Revolution.
Also, funny little detail about the battle of Tsushima? Aboard the bridge of one of the japanese cruisers there, a young japanese staff lieutenant lost two fingers to shell fragments. If he had lost a third one, he would have been forced to retire from military service according to regulations. Which would have been quite the little butterfly effect.
Why, you ask? Because the name of that young lieutenant was Yamamoto Isoroku.
This is just plum wonderful! Top notch story telling and graphics to boot. Keep it up!
Thank you so much, that's great to hear!
Oh how the turn tables! Lol omg these are great… I love toast! I love this whole style, keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Careful how you say his name dude

I can tell there's massive potential in your talent, with a little polishing to the audio and just a little bit beefier video catalog, you'll hit a milly in a flash.
Thank you so much! That's awesome to hear :D
The snakes onboard apparently took a liking to vodka
This is great. It needst to be a movie
Oh, I also clicked the bell so I don't miss any of your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
... but what happened to the animals, did they die fighting off japanese or become prisoners of war?
They became Japanese citizens. One of them co-founded Nintendo if I remember correctly.
@@howistoast I'm still laughing
Don't do the patron thing but others do. However, you got a subscriber! Video was brilliant and made us laugh. Thank you for that!
It's a pleasure! Welcome aboard!
As usual, I liked and shared. Your content is so good!
Quality video and research, super entertaining and funny. Subscribed, looking forward to seeing this channel grow.
Glad you enjoyed it, Esa! Thank you for subscribing!
good stuff! I didn't know that there were boats back then - very informative, kinda funny too
they literally invented boats for this story in particular
I wonder if you and the channel Bluejay have some common platform where you do your research. Two of your video themes is quite similar.
First video?!!? you would never know! awesome quality
loved it! video about vodka prohibition in russia next?
Just got an ad for your video. If you wanted to know how I got here haha.
I see a good future for your channel with this content. Good job bud, keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Really interesting info and great execution. Subbed!
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Nothing better then some coal, exotic animals and some well selected std's
don’t forget malaria!
Wow! I knew they lost big time and then revolution kicked in, but I did knew they had such a fun experiences. 😂😂
Wow that joke aged very freaking well 12:40
Fine video. Thank you.
If you're new to the strange tale of the 2nd Pacific Squadron of the Imperial Russian Navy, Drachinifel has a somewhat more coherent take on the same subject elsewhere on RUclips. But I can't really blame the narrator of this video for yukking it up. It's the kind of story where you either laugh or cry.
1:35 bro... you wouldn't believe.....
Such detail, much wow!
You had me at the Dwarf Fortress sounds
bro ur channel is gold - keep going and it'll take off one day
hilarious and informative mate!
April 2022 Suddenly history could repeat itself?
I can't get over that god damn spoiled burger, the image is too funny :D
Good stuff, keep it up. Excited for anything that comes next!
And I gotta say, it's not noticeable that this is your first YT video, the production quality is top notch
aww thanks a lot man!
I thought that burger was spoilered, not spoilt...
Masterpiece 😀❤️
How is this 1000 views only
Another proof how long slavs can endure hard times.
those paintings of the fleets are fully drawn by you or is it a filter or comission made by someone or what ?
Keep waiting for someone to make a movie about this voyage of the damned
Dude, it's ADMIRAL Roshestvensky. He'd throw his binoculars at you for that if he were still around.
Cool video!
Thank you, for the comment!
Your work is hilarious!
Did the extremely sinkable reinforcements manage to make it to the meet-up point with less trouble and losses? I hope they did
In the battle the young Japanese midshipman Takano Isoroku lost two fingers. Had he lost three, he would have been invalided out. So he went on to become Yamamoto Isoroku, the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
PS: "Was zur Fick" is not a phrase a German would use, but as a German, I will now undertake to introduce it into the German language.
As a Ukrainian, this warmed the cockles of my cold dead heart.
Toronno boy eh
Hey I just noticed that you just started this channel, just wanna say that its already great, and im pretty sure that you gonna keep improving, keep it up!
thank you very much, that's very nice of you to say!
Hmm, this sounds familiar 🤔

You didn't add the best part! That when they finally encountered the Japanese they thought they were just fishermen and told them of their plan to attack the japanese...and then got annihilated lol... awesome video though
Gr8 story
Now do Maurice Benyovszky!
Thanks for the suggestion - I will look into him!
One should understand such stories are pumped with myths.
In the night, thick fog blanketed the straits, giving the Russians an advantage. At 02:45 on 27 May Japan Standard Time (JST), the Japanese auxiliary cruiser Shinano Maru observed three lights on what appeared to be a vessel on the distant horizon and closed to investigate. These lights were from the Russian hospital ship Orel, which, in compliance with the rules of war, had continued to burn them.[34] At 04:30, Shinano Maru approached the vessel, noting that she carried no guns and appeared to be an auxiliary. The Orel mistook the Shinano Maru for another Russian vessel and did not attempt to notify the fleet. Instead, she signaled to inform the Japanese ship that there were other Russian vessels nearby. The Shinano Maru then sighted the shapes of ten other Russian ships in the mist. The Russian fleet had been discovered, and any chance of reaching Vladivostok undetected had disappeared
You have to be a Y2KAI fan!! ❤
Can I hire you for freelancer work?
yup sounds like the Russian navy

The map of Russia is wrong in 1905.
