Russia: History, Geography, Economy and Culture
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Russia. It is a country that has been at the forefront of global politics for more than two centuries. Russia is a country that is almost always in the news, as the recent Russia Ukraine conflict demonstrates. It's a country you simply cannot ignore. At a time of renewed tensions between East and West, its more important than ever that we stop a moment to understand what is Russia and who are the Russians. And this is why I made this country the next in the series on Nation States of Earth.

In this one hour video I explore Russian history, one of invasions going both into and out of its vast territory, and one of tyrants within its own borders, whether they be Imperial Romanov Tsars such as Peter The Great, Catherine The Great or Nicholas II or the "Red Tsars" of the Soviet Union, like Stalin. I look in detail at the events leading up to the Russian Revolution, its causes, and the aftermath of the Russian Civil War, and then the rise of the dictator Stalin, the murders and GULAG work camps, where few returned. I look at the devastation that the invasion of Russia had on the country in World War II, and how, in the war's aftermath, a new Cold War developed between the conflicting ideologies of the Communist USSR and the Capitalist West. I look at how Russia was ultimately devastated by Communism, how the reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev ("Glasnost" and "Perestroika") were too little, too late, and how it took almost two decades to recover from the brutal shock of its collapse in the 1990s, under the rule of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin.
I look at Russian Geography. The fierce Russian climate is notorious for its harsh winters, that have meant the end of European invaders such as Napoleon. In the vast realm of Siberia, we find the coldest temperatures outside of Antarctica, and with the highest seasonal temperature ranges anywhere in the world. And it is this climate that gives us the biome of the Taiga, the endless boreal forest that has almost 20% of all trees globally.
The largest of all countries by land area, it's no surprise that the Russian economy has access to an estimated 30% of all natural resources globally, with enormous natural gas, oil and mineral reserves. Its aerospace sector and space industry have been global leaders, achieving the first man in space (Yuri Gagarin) and the longest running national space station, Mir.
Both European and Asian, and something else entirely on its own, Russian culture is as rich as any nation, giving us world class writers such as Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Pasternak and Chekov. Russian Musicians are famous the world over, with such composers as Tchaikovsky, Stravinksy and Mussorgsky just some of the best composers the world has known coming from this country.

My latest and longest production yet! I began the planning of this video late last year, and since that time, sadly, events have overtaken us. However, I felt it was correct to show Russia in its whole, so we could understand. Please share your personal experience of Russia if you have visited or indeed live there. And, especially important in these difficult times, please keep comments RESPECTFUL. God bless!
I like your respectfull attitude here , Sir.
Piaccere moltissimo.
I lo sono Allessandro - Olof Montessori.
You created some very nice videos, also.
Nice culture approach.
🙂
Please do a video on Kenya.
your video perfect. i will use this in my geography class where Russia is a subject.

These videos really are a treasure. It's like watching professional documentaries, but narrated by someone who's not obnoxious, and actually knows what he's talking about. I'm glad this channel is finally starting to get at least a fraction of the attention it deserves.
Thank you very much Vilim, for such a considered comment. It is my passion to share my knowledge (and also much that I don't know, through hard research). And I'm glad you don't think I'm obnoxious! :D
Really ? So how come we don't know about this ?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Great_Bulgaria
there are so many popular channels that are voiced so obnoxiously.
real life lore and wendover productions emphasizing every number and every superlative, every chance they get.
crash course and visualpolitik always using that semi-sarcastic, blase, weirdly cadenced voice.
As a native Siberian, I can attest the video is very accurate and done with a lot of care and respect. Incredible work! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Spasibo! Glad you enjoyed it. Please share with your fellow Russians! They must think the whole world hates them right now, but this particular foreigner still loves you!
@@Geodiode thank you so much for your support! ❤️
@@Geodiode As an American who has been interested in Russian history, this is beautiful video. I can assure you many here respect, admire and have only best wishes for Russia and her people.
I am ashamed that politicians & corporate media has distorted both the history of Russia and it's future. The sooner we learn how to embrace differences and the potential contribution of all, the better off we will be.
Looking forward to my next visit.
I am a Swedish history buff and Russian history has to be one of, if not the most interesting topic to study. Been fascinated by it for years. Would love to visit sometime. I really wish the best for Russia and its people in the future.
Russia ended in 1917, - the USSR is not a continuation of Russia, just as North Korea is not a continuation of Korea, and it is not Koreans who live there.
The beginning with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake was great.
Thank you. It took a lot of time to find just the right clip, which I also had a license to use also!
Thank you, I couldn’t remember the pieces name. Lol
Hi, I like Tchaikovsky - Pa de de /watch?v=YR5USHu6D6U
agreed, kept me watching.
Never been in Russia..However, Russia would be 1 of the top priority on my list's of visiting after all the conflicts R over..I had watched a few documentaries and movies of Russia past history which were fascinating just like those from other's Nations..Russia is very beautiful especially the Red Square and those majestic cathedrals as well as natural scenery's..💯🌹🇷🇺🌟🕊..
Totally agree. I had planned to visit this year, before, sadly the current events made that all but impossible.
Sadly, the conflicts will never be over, due to “man’s” lust for power…particularly the elites.🌏
Это надолго и дальше будет только хуже. Не в России, а вообще в Мире, особенно на Западе. Не откладывайте поездку.

Thank you for showing is true Russian culture ! ,Rather than the unfortunate current political mess.
Thank you again Shrek! Yes, I didn't get to decide on the timing of all this, but I kept well and truly out of the politics, and, like all my videos, just want to promote understanding.
Беспорядок в России был в 90-е гг., порожден западной полумарионеткой Ельциным.
I commented before viewing this but felt I needed to make a followup comment. It was extremely informative and the ending was just so perfect!!
I have followed Russian history for decades and and am a big fan of some of her profoundly gifted writers - from Dostoevsky to Solzhenitsyn - as well as her fine artists and composers.
The history of Russia is both beautiful and rich. I had the great joy of visiting St. Petersburg (from Canada) during the food shortages in the mid 1990’s. The people were incredibly hospitable and generous and willingly shared the little they had with strangers. I visited a few orphanages and saw the sad plight of those children but also visited wonderful monuments of great artistic beauty and had the thrill of seeing all the magnificent works of the art housed in The Hermitage.
I agree with you; we must learn the history of other nations and form our own opinions and not allow ourselves to be drawn into the media narrative which so often proves itself to be nothing more than a political tool used to promote a political agenda.
Thanks once again for these fine productions. 😊 This was definitely an effort worthy of much praise. ❤
Thank you so much for this well-considered comment, as well as the story of your visit. I'm glad to hear Russia still has friends in the world, despite the one-sided narrative of the Western mainstream media.
In showing to the world the riches of Russian culture, I hope that others take a step back and realise that there must be more to this country than the hate-filled soundbites and headlines of the Western press.
Indeed; and also feel an unknown fraternity with Russia and Russians, as if we were relatives from distant lands who rarely meet.
Russia ended in 1917, - the USSR is not a continuation of Russia, just as North Korea is not a continuation of Korea, and it is not Koreans who live there.
I'm married now to a native Russian woman, and had visited this amazing country in 2018 before we settled in Brazil since our marriage took place. Therefore, I can bear witness that this video represented Russia like no other I've ever seen here on RUclips. Thanks for sharing such great work!
Thank you Gabriel, and great to hear of your story, joining two very different worlds together.
Russia ended in 1917, - the USSR is not a continuation of Russia, just as North Korea is not a continuation of Korea, and it is not Koreans who live there.
@@sergikoms9611 I partially agree with you
@@Gabriel.Bonfim - at the USSR there were people who lived before 1917 - these were different people than the Soviet ones, who grew up from the Pioneers and in Soviet reality
@@sergikoms9611 do you think that if Russia had never been overtaken by communism, it'd be a different country now? If the Czars were still in power!
The amount of work and time you put into these documentaries is incredible. I now have a better understanding of the history of Russia and the world we live in. Keep in up!!
Thank you.
Thanks v much Henry. Yes, this has been an exhausting production for me, taking almost 3 months outside of my day job. Look forward to more in the future, but perhaps only 2-3 per year, as they take so much time compared to my other, shorter videos.
we can replace all history teachers with youtube videos.
it's not like any of them really teach you methodology of historical analysis anyway, just regurgitate facts at you.
These videos are really amazing. The pictures and videos in the background and the information that you provide is really informative and astonishing!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love Russia, also would like to visit Russia to see the culture and the history of this country
🇷🇺=🇰🇵
@@user-mh6qm1yj9r Russia is more relaxed than North Korea. People live more comfortably Food was not starving. and have the right to vote the president too
@@dussaneekhengpimon625 sorry
@@dussaneekhengpimon625 Have you ever seen "Elections" that are dishonest. + Russians are even worse than North Koreans, because the vast majority of Russians support war crimes
Больше хочется сказать о людях. Мы не лучше и не хуже любого другого народа и у нас есть свои характерные черты. Я бы выделил две, это сострадание и дружба. Мы, русские, действительно умеем дружить, у нас не бывает много друзей, но те что есть самые преданные, настоящие. И ещё в каждом русском человеке, даже самом обычном, спрятан подвиг. Когда проходят сытые времена и наступают времена испытаний русский народ сбрасывает всю лишнюю шелуху и являет чистый бриллиант, прекрасный и прочный. Мы не самые лучшие люди, но мы самый героический народ. Люблю Россию ❤
Русские кончились в 1917м, - дальше пошли краснопузые головорезы.
Excelent presentation of a unique country, showing the beauty of this vast land, covering its history, economy, climate, art, and many other topics. Thanks for such complete and interesting work!
Thank you Richard!

@@Geodiode Thank you for putting out such high quality content for free.
I’d give you 1000 likes but I can only give you one. This work was so well done. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 😀
I can't believe how good your channel is, thanks for your epic work, can't wait to learn about more countries
Thank you very much!
@@Geodiode thank you!!!
You forgot to put in wrestler Alexander Karelin. Best Olympic wrestler who ever lived and now a Russian Federation senator.
Thank you. So many Olympians. It was hard to know who to include and who not to!
Congratulations on completing this epic documentary. I really admire your courage and hard work that's been put into this great work. From a geographical and historical perspective, it's almost impeccable and absolutely informative. I really learned a lot from it. Also, it's great to see the artistic side of Russia in this video,especially for classical music, which Russia is iconic of in the 20th century and contributes as a real treasury to the world culture.
Given it's such a huge country with a long history and diverse culture and that one video may not be able to cover everything, I wonder if there could be more information introducing people's lifestyle, local customs, or diplomatic or inter-cultural relations in future videos. Even though I know as a hardcore science channel, it might be somewhat challenging to include subjective content like these:)
Thanks very much for your considered comments. Greatly appreciated! Perhaps a more detailed look at cultures in a future series, but for now, as this series is so popular, I'll keep the current formula for the next 50+ countries 😊
@@Geodiode cool. can't wait to see the rest of this series and learn. Thanks again for the great work! :)
What an impressive and ambitious undertaking! Yet again, the channel delivers top tier content!
Thanks my Canadian friend! It was almost 3 months of work. I feel totally exhausted. I wanted to make this video 2 years ago, but didn't have the balls to face such a massive task. Now it's over, and I'm greatly relieved!
Please do more of these videos. There's so many interesting countries and cultures you could cover.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. Yes I'll be focusing on this series going forward, as it is the most popular theme I've addressed.
I think the video is really well made and does, as with your other videos, make me want to visit the country to see and experience its culture. And I think that you timed this video to give more insight into Russia at this time is needed. Just seeing negative media will not promote collaborations.
Thanks v much for a very considered remark. This was 3 months of work, and to sit on it until the crisis would end (who knows? Years?) was something I couldn't do, and I then thought, as you said, it was important that people understand at least one side of what is going on. With understanding, we can learn and hopefully avoid conflict in the future.
@@Geodiode Hardly, as long as the powerful Western Goebbels machinery works, where Russia and the Russians are presented as evil, enemies, inferior beings, it is difficult for anyone to change that.
@@jorgoasparuhov4131 I concur on the western media comment. I have always been deeply suspicious of them and in the last few weeks have seen they've just given up on any form of "reportage" and are now just out-and-out Russophobic propaganda.
Wonderful documentary. Congratulations for this production!
Many thanks Fabio!

What is the song at the beggining of the video, it reminds me of something but I can’t pinpoint hahah
Swan Lake.
Merci beaucoup Jean Sebastien! I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos. As @riostand points out, it's Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky.

I have really enjoyed watching this about my country ))
as always very impressive production!
Much appreciated!
This was an awesome video! I was adopted from Prokopyevsk into an American family. Didn't know too much about the Russian culture, simply since my older sisters (also adopted from the same city) experienced the brunt of some of the hardest conditions in an orphanage in the 90's and just wanted to move on and embrace the American culture. There has been a part of me my whole life that wanted to know my own culture, but it wasn't until the past few years where I finally am wanting to truly learn everything about Russia. This video was great in giving me a lot of basic knowledge for such a wide range of topics.
Thanks! Amazing story to hear... Yes the 90's were a terrible time, as I alluded to in the video (one of many terrible times for Russians!) I hope you get the opportunity to visit your homeland, once all the current nonsense has passed.
You were not. That’s a load of crud. You’re still in Russia with your sisters.
Thanks You for these videos 🙏
They are amazing and informative 💯
Glad you like them!
Another great video!
Thanks Josh - and appreciate you coming to the premiere!
Great content, thank you...(For future reference, I found most of the background track of music distracting.)

Very happy to hear this. My mission is accomplished. With all the Russophobia in the mainstream media right now, it's important to counter this with a look at how deep the culture and history of these people are. Much older than the USA!
@@Geodiode Very true and Russia has such a wonderful culture, civilisation, and of course beautiful cities and people.

Hey, very nice high-quality video! Since 24th of February I felt like literally everyone was talking only and only about the war in Ukraine. I get why, and it's now a part of our history, I don't deny that it is VERY important to both citizens of Russia and Ukraine. But you know, when you only hear about one thing and one thing only it starts to get very repetitive and a little tiresomely. This video was a good break from that, thanks.
You also asked about my experience of Russia, so here it is :
I'm from St. Petersburg, it's a beatiful city and I love it. Live quality is pretty decent here for me, but it does depends on a family and city. I'm also very asian looking (I'm half buryat) yet I haven't encountered any racism, dispute many people saying that russians are racists towards anyone who doesn't look european. (which isnt true, it depends on the person, like in any other country.) Over all, dispute the fact that I highly dislike our goverment, war at Ukraine etc. I still love Russia.
I'm a patriot, and I want the best for my country, and I really hope that one day the goverment will change. I think there's many potential in Russia, it can become a democratic and developed country, and I hope I will live long enought to see it.
Again, thanks for the video! Peace.
Thank you so much for those wonderful words. It is true that Russians are one of the least racist of all people as many people of different ethnicities rose to prominence during the Soviet era (Stalin was Georgian, kruschev Ukrainian).
The whole business of Ukraine, of East Slav killing East Slav is an enormous tragedy, but i point the finger firmly at the US deep state for creating this conflict in their goal of using Ukraine as a hammer against Russia. Let's all hope for peace and reconciliation soon
I loved it! Thank you! 🙏🌷
Awesome!! Magic!! Marvelous video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Спасибо за видео!
That was a truly superb summary of the history and geography of Russia as well as an excellent, succinct description of its great accomplishments in art, literature, dance, music, architecture, science and other creative avenues of human endeavour. The hours of research and hard work that you must have put in to create this must be enormous. Please accept my hearty congratulations and sincere thanks to you for such a wonderful production.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the comment. And yes, so many hours went in to it!
Thank you for subtitle
This is a masterpiece production! Bravo!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful. Excellent work.
Thank you so much 😀
Sir, I really like your channel, the japan video is my favorite. I learned new and interesting things from your well made, well-edited and relaxing comfortable ost videos. I hope you can expand more into Asia and maybe one day make a video about my country China.
Thank you very much! China is on the future list, but I need a break after Russia. That will be a looong video to try to cover everything important!
Very interesting! Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Was the last music not from Chopin (Poland)?
May be the next episode of Bulgaria please! That would be very interesting. 🇧🇬🤍💚❤️🇧🇬
I love Russians and Russia
Thank you! It is very interesting video.
Glad you liked it!
You have an amazing channel brother BRAVO !!
Thank you so much 😀
The effort to create this video is very clearly seen in detail..the editing, background music, pictures, narration..all of these are superb..the ending is just perfect..There are a few names that are missing like Russian popular culture like filmmaking, the lifestyle of Russians, particularly the urban population, is very similar to Europeans but a distinctive taste is there... Russians put great stress on fundamentals than any other nation in the world, so the skill sets in fine arts, music, sports etc. are so remarkable. Overall, I congratulate you for making such a great documentary..hope you will create a documentary about India one day..keep doing great work!
Thank you! And yes I agree with your assessment. I'm assuming you spent some time there.
Brilliantly done!
Thank you!

Awesome, thank you! And welcome aboard!
niceeee timinggg ;)
I know, right? Actually a coincidence, as I started work on this almost 3 months ago...
It's an amazing country....
Thanks for your amaizing work! As a Russian, I can attest that this is a very accurate, reliable, and perhaps even a little overly complimentary video about our country (we are always ready to argue much more negatively about our history and culture among ourselves).
Thanks so much Konstantine! I generally try to paint a positive note in all my Nation State videos. Although I think I was pretty harsh about the USSR, no?
You owe your history to Kyiv. Russia wasn't even a toilet yet
Great video !!!👍.
Thanks 👍
Really well done documentary
Thank you Karolina! Glad the effort was all worth it
Beyond the war, there is the INNOCENT people of Russia and Ukraine, nicely done and great story
Thank you! I wish more people could also share that viewpoint about the wonderful people of this country.
Θαυμάσιο βίντεο!!!!!!!!!!
Thank YOU for your excellent presentation.
Expect more on future!
nice video
Superb!
Very Happy to have visited St Petersberg.
The Hermitage museum beats everything. 💓
Superb!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Superb work.
Thanks!
I enjoyed this so much that I watched it 3 times. Russia is such a rich and diverse country. What a complex and wonderful country. Also so under rated by the rest of the world.
Wow, thank you so much! 3 times is a thumbs up, I guess! Honestly, I could have spent 2 hours on the whole subject, there was so much to tell. And yes it is being much maligned by the Western media right now for their own ends, which is a big shame. But then the West has always shut out Russia, if you look back across the centuries.
Love from-:Saudia Arabia🌴👑🇸🇦👑🇷🇺👑
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you very much for your video❤
You're welcome!
Thnks!
What is the piano piece by Tchaikovsky that accompanies the Great Russians montage?
"Sentimental Waltz for Piano".
Russia is a beautiful land .. The beginning with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake was great..
Thanks for very accurate and rather thorough video about my country!
Glad you liked it Maria! Thanks!
Excelent, Thank you

Lovely amalgam of persons of significance from Russia at the end. Nicely done!
Thank you!
