Thanks for the video! You could've emphasized more on Holodomor - a large-scale famine set up by the bolshevik party on the territory of Ukraine in 1932-1933. My grandgrandmom told me some horrible stories about this period of time. For example, she and her family had to fight a man that was trying to steal her little brother for uhmmm food purposes. Thanks again, this video really helps us to keep our history up to people's minds so they know Ukraine and Russia are completely different countries, actually.

some things you missed: 1. Galicia-Volhynia - a post-kievan rus state, a vassal to the golden Horde, credited as the first Ukrainian kingdom, split between Poland and Lithuania 2.Makhnovia - a UPR- era anarchist stateless society in Ukraine led by Nestor Makhno. Origin place of the song "Mother Anarchy". 3.OUN-UPA - also known as the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a nationalist faction in Western Ukraine during WW2, fought both against the germans and the USSR. Aslo genocided Poles in Volhynia, the genocide is not denied by anyone in Ukraine for some reason. 4. The Ukrainian State - a short lived German Satellite state in Ukraine established in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1917 led by Pavlo Skoropadsky,who called himself a Hetman, couped into the UPR. Still, this is a good video, keep up the good work.

Yes and at the end, they will erase Russia from history and will make it that Ukraine was this Kievan Rus, then the grand duchies were Ukrainians nor Russians, but such thing as Ukrainian never existed in history nor in any history book or document post 1920, Ukraine was just a region. Ukrainians called themselves Russians, after communist took over they consolidated the region into Ukraine SSR

Wonderful experience, such lovely people and culture, and I had no idea at the time how rare that was in the US. Thank you for your part in helping to educate more people about the history of Ukraine and the surrounding region. May this war end quickly, and the Ukrainian people be blessed with peace and the ability to determine their own future.

Also worth noting is the history of transcarpathian Ukraine, part of Czechoslokia until 1939, independent for a day or so before being annexed by Hungary, and finally being added to Ukrainian SSR in 1945 so Stalin could have a common border with Hungary and Czechoslovakia. The artist Andy Warhohl has his roots there.

Excellent job. I am a College History Professor, and enjoy your efforts. I would add that in general, this demonstrates a fact that I teach my students, that there isn’t some mystical moment when anyone can claim “our country was here.” It’s always tenuous and in flux. This is one reason why wars happen, sadly, but it is the truth. We do better to face the truth of our mutual nature as part of the human species, and then see if we can find other routes forward rather than war. But it can’t be “this was always our border” or “this was always our country.” Maybe the days of tribal peoples, connected by blood, small, localized and area of the need for friendly relationship with other peoples is a better path…but I don’t claim to know if it would work any better (certainly many wars throughout history between tribal peoples too). Anyway, very nice job on the video.

As a person who just read sometimes, and who spent many years in "ru-net", which is a russian-speaking internet, I'd say this war is all about dominance. It is primitive people feeling, when you can do whatever you want and nobody will accuse you. You break your neighbor down, you take his stuff, ruin his home, impregnate his wife, kill his children, erase any memory of his nation or history. And it feels good for a primitive organism. It looks like it's primitive biological behavior, creature behaviour, not human one. And deeply in some mind labyrinth I can even understand this. This is ancient hatred.

Russia is getting beyond desperate -- They just blocked Facebook and their "parliament" now says anyone spreading "fake news" could be sentenced up to 15 years in prison. The Kremlin's "fake news" is what the world calls "the truth." Why is KZfaq allowing the channels Ruptly, RT, and RT America?!! They are funded by the Russian government and push nothing but disinformation. By not banning these channels, KZfaq is enabling and essentially endorsing Russia's ongoing war crimes in the Ukraine!!! 🤨 Demand that KZfaq BAN RUPTLY, RT AND RT AMERICA!!! Also, the Russian people need to rise up and tear Putin limb from limb ... He started this and they can end it ☝🏻 Otherwise, they'll remain a Thrid-World Country isolated from the rest of the world, wallowing in poverty even more so than they already were because of his dictatorial incompetence 🤨

Kievan Rus (862-1242) was a medieval political federation located in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine, and part of Russia (the latter named for the Rus, a Scandinavian people). The name Kievan Rus is a modern-day (19th century) designation but has the same meaning as 'land of the Rus,' which is how the region was known in the Middle Ages.

Ukrainians are positive, hard working, talented, strong, liberated, inclusive, industrious, adventurous, food loving people. 🏖️🌺🌽🥩🥗🥧🍦🍰🍯🍻 Think about it. They have the strength and liberated expedition travelers of blue water sailors and the smartest territory keepers that ruled from the furthest east of the world. I look at what they cook at home. It is rich in culture. You can't make them speak just Russian, steal their harvest and seafood abundant beach resorts. They are very romantic, free spirited, happy people that don't want to be a part of depressing dictatorship. Ukraine is Ukraine.🌈🌞🏊🌾🐟🕊️

I even read some articles on etymology and sociology wich state that close to 50% of ukrainians learn russian at home as their first language and that both languages share a great share of their words so one can clearly understand the other.

@@rafagunslinger Nonono its fine don't apologize and thank you. I will gladly answer your question. In 2014, Viktor Yanukovych got elected president to build ties with the EU. However, he instead brokered a deal with Russia which caused the Maidan Revolution. Yanukovych fled and it was all a mess. The Russian eastern parts of the country (Mykolaiv, Kherson, Odessa, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipro and Kharkiv) had pro-Russian protests and separatists declared independence in Luhansk, Donetsk and Kharkiv, althought the KPR (Kharkiv People's Republic) was later dissolved. Now, Russia recognizes these statelets and has supports from ~10 countries. Although you said ~50% of Ukrainians learn Russian, I believe they don't because I speak both Ukrainian and Russian and they are very similar languages. I would say the % of Ukrainian speakers would be around 75-80% and Russians, 25-20%. Also, both Ukrainians and Russians do have a similar culture and traditions, but they might have different political views. Hope that answered your question :)

In Ukrainian, It is pronounced "Chornobeel" and means Wormwood. “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter” Revelation 8:10-11.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Rurik was invited to reign in Novgorod/Ladoga (Modern Russia) not Kiev, Askold and Dir who were the part of Rurik's army seized the power over Kiev while traveling to Constantinople and started to reign there. So basically Rurik's dynasty (~862-1612) started in Novgorod/Ladoga not Kiev. A few centuries later Oleg of Novgorod seized the power over Kiev and moved the capital from Novgorod to Kiev. And that's how it started.

So few things: After mongol invasion Moscow entered agreement and was taxing other rus' principalities and sending money to horde while taking a cut. After Lithuania and then Poland took over modern Ukraine and Belarus local nobility became polonised and catholic growing distant from population they rule, also serfdom wasn't a thing before that so people became worse of than before. Also cossack weren't just Ukrainian Orthodox they were people running away from unjust system they were living in. Rutheniana was recognized as regional language. Cossak used to fight for commonwealth, there was separate commander of cossack forces as there was polish and Lithuanian one. Ukrainians were fighting on polish side during polish-soviet war and didn't want to be part of USSR they were forced to and Poland didn't help their ally. And that is one of the causes some Ukrainians saw Germany as liberators.
