@@darkebmindustrial3632 Это теория а не факт

what you mean by russian in english and russian in russian

It was due to mongolian empire, mongol rule made it possible.

Frankly speaking, they didn't control it very harshly, especially Chukotka) They only built some fortresses and collected taxes. No forceful christianisation, no enslaving of local peoples (ethnical Russians were the only slaves in the country), no marginalization of language and culture. Many Russians tried to escape slavery, they ran away from landlords and hid near local peoples. Many fled there because of religious persecution - they didn't accept Church reform in XVII century. All of them were a minority, they didn't want to quarrel. Yes, there are other reasons as Mongol rule in the region (some infrastructure remained). Also, Russians helped Siberian leaders to fight against Manchurs and Chinese. Apart from that, local elites were respected, and Cossack leaders married local leaders' daughters. I think respect for culture made us very different from invaders from other territories. BTW from first schools until today indigenous children all over the country study their language and culture at school, especially if it's boarding schools for children of nomadic peoples. Swinging lasso is mandatory at P E lessons:) children should know how to help with the herd.

@@svetlanakaravaeva7636 Your comment is extremely ignorant towards Russian state, during the conquest of chukotka many natives died and Russians continued into America's Alaska, you claim Russians were enslaved in your confused mind of todays thinking as a result of the serf system Russians ethnicity managed to expand to become one of the largest in the world and created huge living space to the east and south which it can inhabit while the free chukchas still number nine thousand haha, the government simply had more controlled over Russian nation and so it progressed just like todays Chinese government has done with its population its not slavery, hope this comment will make you see history the in a different way and stope you from writing bad stories about Russias history.

@@l5475 My opinion will remain the same: they didn't control Siberia well, especially Chukotka. This is one of the reasons why indigenous peoples preserved their culture. Russian government failed to negotiate in Alaska, otherwise life there would be much better for indigenous peoples. And, yes, indigenous children study their language, culture and traditional way of life at school. I travel around the country and hear people speak their languages everywhere. If you've never lived in Russia, it's not easy to understand our life here. The government doesn't control the country harshly, and it's very good for everybody.

@@svetlanakaravaeva7636 your comment proves what I said yes the Russians were very kind in some circumstances to the conquerd people which is why you hear the language but the idea of russians as enslaved is wrong as for chukotka today Russians are majority and the land belongs to Russia.

Dont see that being possible without him actly having a purely Scandanavian parenr. Pure cap. Or the DNA test was pure cap.

The extensive analysis of the Russian pool of paternal lines presented here establishes the following general features: (1) the insignificance of the eastern gene flow, emphasized by the absence of typical haplogroups of Eastern and Central Asia; (2) well-pronounced gradients from north to south of specific haplogroups in the historical Russian region; (3) the division of its general diversity into northern and central-southern populations; (4) the proximity of the northern populations to the north-eastern and eastern non-Slavic populations, which implies extensive assimilation or even a direct change in the language; Russian Russians (5) lower Y-chromosomal variations throughout central-southern historical Russia compared to high variations among northern Russians; (6) proximity, the achievement of a virtual coincidence in the MDS plot, in the Y-chromosomal variation between central-southern Russians with Ukrainians, Belarusians and Poles; and (7) this significant intra-ethnic differentiation of the North Russian population is the only exception to the rule found; in the broader European context, interethnic (mainly linguistic) differences strongly prevail. Russian Russians ' Y-chromosome pool in their historical settlement zone is mainly a composite composite of their Proto-Slavic heritage and, in particular, in the Russian North, an extensive admixture with Finno-Ugric speakers. This bipartite scenario of the main sources of origin of modern ethnic Russians is supported by the analysis of classical markers presented here and can be used as a working hypothesis for a better understanding of the genetic diversity and demographic history of Eurasian populations. Its patrilineal aspect can be further refined by a detailed study of STR variations in phylogenetic biliallelic haplogroups, although new informative SNPs should be identified for deeper progress, in particular, given that only a small part of the Y chromosome has been studied so far for markers potentially informative for phylogeographic research3. www.cell.com/fulltext/S0002-9297%2807%2900025-0

@kimi Got any sources on that? Obviously, Balts were present in Russia, hell, Moscow area before it's conquest by the Rus, was inhabited by Baltic Eastern Galindians.

@@Vitalis94 it is know that colored eyes specifically blue eyes originated in the Baltic region.

No, blue eyes and blond hair originated in Finland. Baltics adopted our features.

@@Vitalis94 That''s true, they also have one of the highest percentages of blondes in the world. Yet the Finns started to mix with the Scandinavians long time ago, thousands of years ago. And where this started, how far east this area reached? And are all the blondes and blue-eyed people in the Pomor region descendants of later migration, or where they there, when the Finno-Ugric people came. Aslo, are they older than the Scandinavians too, at least the language? The Scandinavians have a mostly a bit different genetic origin than most Europeans. But because tehir language is Indo-European, it's possible that they adapted that later, and their older language vanished. But if that was the case, it resulted then in the Germanic language Group. So in this theory, the older language would have influenced in what makes Germanic languages different from the the other Indo-Europeans of Europe, like Celtic, Slavic, Romance etc. Celtic languages also show some influence of non-Indo-European languages, maybe Basque-type languages, because the genetics show that the British Islanders (Celtic or English) are still mostly related to Basques genetically, who speak a non-Indo-European language. Also the romance languages and Greek show signs of influence from a substratum language, one that was there before they came into the land. All this means, that who knows what was the culture of the blue-eyed and blonde people of the north originally, maube mneither Scandinavian nor Uralic, they likely migrated from the Bakans, there are genetic relatives there. These people were in europe before those who brought the Indo-European languages. This relates to Pomors in that their langauge and culture can have changed many times, like it has changed from the Uralic to Russian. But I've heard there are some fish names and other nature names int heir dialects that are Uralic. And place names are many, especially around the Karelian area, where the change to Russian language is even a younger incidence. But also further south, like around Novgorod there are Uralic names. Even Moscow was established amidst Uralic people, like Merya, Muroma, and was it Meshchina people. Alsothe Volga name sounds like it might came from Uralic languages: Finnish has Valkea, Valko- 'white', Estonian have Valge, Livonians Vaalga - meaning the same. That sound with k in Finnish, and g in estonian & Livonian is not quite g, nor is it as strong as in English, so the English migh here it as g, and the Russians. Even recently Russians have turned Finnish k, p & t to g, b & d in Finnish family names that have been decades or centuries with names of Finnish (or closely related language) origin. This doesn't prove anything of course, but just says it's possible. And the city of Samara could be Uralic by it's structure, but also Turkic or Russian etc. But it's the southernmost area where Uralic people have long existed, in Samara region it's the Mordvinians (Mordva people). When there's also the Mari people north or Volga, it sounds like all those Merya, Muroma, Mari & Mordva nations (maybe sa-mara too) come from a common culture where the name was Mar, Mer, Mor… something.

Honestly not so much history, Slavs were almost unknown before 500 AD. Slavs had no idea of statehood untill 9th century when slavic tribes were conquered by the Vikings.

And Russian history can be traced back to 14-15th centuries, it's a rather young nation when it comes to Eurasian affairs.

@@JameBlack Kievan Rus was founded in 9 century, first Rurikovich dynast beginning with Svyatoslav and Vladimir already were Slavicied, how does Russian history only begins in 14 century?

Russians like other Slavs originated from Indo-European Yammna culture/Kurgan culture. Their gene is the haplogroup R1A that's spread throughout Eurasia as far as west china and Mongolia thanks to the Iranic speaking Scythians and other indo-Europeans related to them such as Sarmations in antiquity. The core of these eastern Indo-Europeans was the Eurasian steppe which is still dominated by people carrying R1A gene...the Russians.

@@Hyomunon There was no RuSSia until 1721 when a Tsar decided to rebrand Muscovy to justify military occupation of Rus (Ukraine and Belarus). You can check old maps issued both inside and outside Muscovy if you don't believe. There was no such nation as RuSSians until Bolsheviks. From 1721 until 1920s they were branded as Velikorosy, before 1721 they called themselves Muscovites, before the Horde those tribes were called Merya, Moksha, Mari, Tatars, etc. They had nothing to do with Medieval Rus'. On the contrary - they were the most loyal and brutal tribute collectors for the Golden Horde.

Artoria Pendragon Kievan Rus is a made up historical term coined by Russian historians in the 18th century. It simply means “Ancient Russian State with the capital in Kiev” And Kievan Rus is the early history of modern Russia. But imbecile trolls like you might say otherwise ;)

@@user-qe9tr9gp6b did you actually learn history man? Novgorod and Kyiv were the biggest centers of Rus for hundreds of years. Moscow only rose to prominence during the Horde, before that they weren't significant.

Again, not being 100% slav isn't something bad. Also, quick note, saying "Ancient Russian state" is a bit disingenuous.

Cossacks were known as warriors, they were in battles for payment to, and they were horrible and very dangerous toward people in the time of wars. They were present in Balkan wars to so this is what they say about.

VESNA 1111 The word Cossack comes from Irano-Scythian people in the first Millenia, that lived in the steppes of today‘s Southern Russia. It meant „free people“ or „ free man“. Later the turcic tribes from the East of Eurasia came, turcified the Scyths, and the Rus developped in what is today Ukraine, Belorus and part of European‘s Russia. Already at that time part of Southern Slavic tribes had mixed with Scythians. Additionally at the border of the Rus to the steppe land, Rus people mixed with parts of turcic tribes, that had asked to get permission to settle on Rus land and fight on the Rus side, ad they had pressure from the East from further incoming new turcic tribes. Those are the precursors of Cossack. This process actually proceeded actually until few centuries ago. Cossack is a mix of various people. There never has bern an ethical, religious, or political unity amongst the various Cossack groups. Further groups that led to the admixture were runaway Rus ( and successor state) peasants, refugees from the many wars in the Caucasus in the centuries before the state Russia was present there. Some groups were deliberately settled by the Russian Czar, e.g. part of Don Cossacks were Tatarian soldiers that were settled at the Don by Czar Iwan Grosny, the Terrk Cossacks came from Rjasan region and were settled by another czar ( including their families). Most cossacks never ever received any payment, as no state could have had such huge finances. Cossacks were warriors and had a civil profession at the same time, ad they had to support themselves, as they wanted to remain free people. Free from the European Christian feudal system, and free from the muslim khanates and its slave hunters. As beeing in a sandwich position without any natural protection Cossacks never have been a homogeneous group. Sometimes they fought against the Czar, sometimes for. Within a group they are very cooperation oriented, loyal. As an individual you don’t survive, or you get enslaved. Within their families they are warm and caring. Also they have strong spirits. Within my whole family I don’t know drug addicts, no degenerates, noone beats their wife. Also respect man fight against each other, not against weak people. Respect for nature and god is important. My family treats animals well. All born after WW2 don‘t self-identify as Cossacks anymore. Our steppe culture , language has been as such extinguished. But our spirit is alive. Good bye!

Not quite true about the Rus. They did form the Duchy of Moscow together as far as I understand. The word Rus is mostly a term for eastern slavs and their rulers who originally came from Nordic countries. I think "rus" means something like "to row" in Swedish and it's wildly speculated that the first slavic rulers in Novgorod and Kyiv were Swedish sailors/traders/raiders. So while technically Moscow was a part of the "Rus," Rus itself started long before the Duchy of Moscow and it wasn't with the help of Finno-Ugric tribes. They did have part in forming Moscow, I believe. As for the larger eastern slavs, you may be confusing Finno-Ugric people with Balts. Ukrainians and Belarus (who referred to themselves as Rus or Rusyni up to 19th century) did share the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with the Balts.

@@a.e.2990 great bit of history man, thx. Was always interested in the history of Cossacks but never found a good source on it.

Hyperborean Colonialism Don’t tell me my family history. We even had a kind of Ukrainian sounding plus turcic mix language, names and features. There were several turcic subgroups joining the Rus and post Rus people. Stop your nationalistic bullshit of stupidity. Even if some Russians ( since 2 generations my family members of Cossack origin identify as such) talk sometimes about everything what comes into their head ( including philosophy and bullshit;)), they aren’t segregation-rassistic like some other groups. Regarding ethnicity, identity they have a very fluent understanding. That happens when you live inmidst of a huge continent mainly on plane land and amongst many tribes/ethnicities. There is a constant coming and going. A certain flexibility or tolerance is a natural adaptation.

@@usuhbi good joke

@@usuhbi The ancestors of the Kalmyks, the Oirats, migrated from the steppes of southern Siberia on the banks of the Irtysh River, reaching the Lower Volga region by the early 17th century. Historians have given various explanations for the move, but generally recognise that the Kalmyks sought abundant pastures for their herds. Another motivation may have involved escaping the growing dominance of the neighbouring Dzungar Mongol tribe. They reached the lower Volga region in or about 1630. That land, however, was not uncontested pastures, but rather the homeland of the Nogai Horde, a confederation of Turkic-speaking nomadic tribes. The Kalmyks expelled the Nogais, who fled to the Caucasian plains and to the Crimean Khanate, areas (at least theoretically) under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Some Nogai groups sought the protection of the Russian garrison at Astrakhan. The remaining nomadic Mongol Oirat tribes became vassals of the Kalmyk Khan. The Kalmyks settled in the wide-open steppes - from Saratov in the north to Astrakhan on the Volga delta in the south and to the Terek River in the southwest. They also encamped on both sides of the Volga River, from the Don River in the west to the Ural River in the east. Although these territories had been recently annexed by the Tsardom of Russia, Moscow was in no position to settle the area with Russian colonists.
