      In fact, didn't the defeat to the Mongols happen under the Rurik dynasty whose last known descendant/ruler was Feodor I of RUSSIA aka Fyodor I Ivanovich, a RUSSIAN czar during the 16th century???

    Anyone who has played Total War Medieval 1 knows that the Ukrainians/Rus should have built the biggest fortresses possible in Volga-Bulgaria and the Chimera and filled it with a ton of Halberdiers with gold armour and gold weaponry (but not enough to be starved out in a few turns). If they did this the Mongols would have all stood in archery range of the walls and sent units one by one to hit the gates with swords whilst standing under pouring boiling oil until the swords eventually made the portcullis suddenly disappear. Then they would be all killed in turn by the Halberdiers. Just talking from personal experience.

    In terms of content this is a great video. 👍 This period in this region of Europe is rarely explored in English-speaking world. But I think using the term Ukrainians is a little anachronistic here. It would also be really interesting to see you covering the struggle for Halych-Volhynia region between Poles, Lithuanians and Hungarians in 14th century and a kind of 'westernization' of the region in subsequent centuries because of Polish influence in Ruthenia. 🦁💙

      The Portuguese were once the same as the Galicians (in Galiza, Spain, both descendents of the inhabitants in the Northwest corner of Iberia), same language, culture and costumes. But through historical events, as the roman conquest of Iberia and the consequent divide of the peninsula with the roman provinces of Lusitania and Gallaecia, and later disputes between aristocratic families, churches and others, the soon to be Portuguese rebelled from Galiza and expanded south. Is somewhat similar with the Kievan Rus... A group that would later split between the Ukranians and Russians (as well the Belarusians... The almost always forgotten brother of the 3).

By the 20th century terms like "Ruthenian", "Podolian", or "Volhynian" were anachronistic and gave way to "Ukrainian". It was also used to describe the Cossack Hetmanate.
      It's a perfectly valid historical term to use in reference to an area and the people living there, unless you're a modern-day Russian revisionist with motive to impose the "Little Russian" epithet that wasn't a thing until long after the development of nationalism. Cope harder.

    I don't understand butthurt reactions in the comments over calling Ruthenians under the king Danylo proto-Ukrainians. Proto-Belarusians were a part of Lithuania back then. Proto-Russians -- part of Golden Horde as Vladimir-Suzdal Duchy. Proto-Ukrainians were a part of Ruthenian Kingdom. Later that Kingdom was annexed into Polish-Luthuanian Commonwealth and Ukrainian identity was formed in the midst of the Poles and Lithuanians.
    Or you don't understand modern meaning of the prefix "proto"? Nowadays, we have come to understand it as "before", rather than "first". Like, proto-Greeks before the Bronze Age were not Greek and didn't call themselves this way. Yet we call them proto-Greeks in the books.

    Ukraine is Rus'.

Did Peter go about educating the Fins and Ugric populations in Moscovia a new tongue? As you know Peter had a German pedigree backround as many dynasties do even to this day. Do you think Prussia attempted to steal the Rus name? And who was Rurik to you? And what is your position on the people of Finland today?

    Just saying, the map shows Subcarpathia as part of the Rus, which had never been. Subcarpathia was Hungarian territory until 1920 (and 1938-1945). Neither the Rus, nor Ukraine had nothing to do with it up until a couple of decades ago ...

    The massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia (Polish: rzeź wołyńska, lit. 'Volhynian slaughter'; Ukrainian: Волинська трагедія, romanized: Volynska trahediia, lit. 'Volyn tragedy'), were carried out in German-occupied Poland by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or the UPA, with the support of parts of the local Ukrainian population against the Polish minority in Volhynia, Eastern Galicia, parts of Polesia and Lublin region from 1943 to 1945.The peak of the massacres took place in July and August 1943. Most of the victims were women and children.[8] Many of the Polish victims regardless of age or gender were tortured before being killed; some of the methods included rape, dismemberment or immolation, among others.[5] The UPA's actions resulted in between 50,000 and 100,000 deaths.

    In my opinion , Rus ceded to exist after Yaroslav . Various principalities and rulers were only descendants of Rus , which I see as an entity . Politics, interests, actions of this principalities were no longer common , but quite in opposition , so the Rus entity no longer existed . Talking about Rus even after it have split , gives the Muscovites the argument of pretending to be the heirs of Rus . Those Muscovites which were much of a tool of the Mongols for quite long time .

      Rus' was a conglomeration of principalities since the beginning. Never a centralized state. Moreover, according to the Primary Chronicle people from Novgorod, Pskov, Suzdal etc traveled to Rus' and back.
      Rus' land in the narrow sense of the term was a compact area around Kyiv, Chernihiv and Pereyaslav up until the 13th century (when Roman the Great, a ruler of Halych-Volhynia, became the grand prince of Kyiv and all Rus' and his son Danylo a king of Rus').

      @@zodric7999 Pretty sure the Muskovite Empire conquered/invaded the lands of former Kievan Rus . Moskow was not part of Kivan Rus , while this existed , so it was a conquest/invasion , starting with Novgorod in 1478 . Moskow was first mentioned AFTER Kievan Rus split between the sons of Yaroslav and it was for a good time part of the Mongol Empire or The Horde .
      ''Eventually Ivan III forcibly annexed the city (Novgorod) to the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1478. The Veche was dissolved and a significant part of Novgorod's aristocracy, merchants and smaller landholding families was deported to central Russia.'' - it does not look like a reunification at all . This was the begining of the forever aggression of Moscow towards all it's neighbors and it still continues today . In every conquered territory , part of the population was deported and rusification begun . Name ''Russian'' is a theft of identity .
      So , I stand behind my opinion .
