You guys always make my days! Your documentaries are incredible! Please do Napoleon, France's greatest ruler.

Russophobic non-history.

I have a friend in Seoul, Korea, whom I call Mr. Formidable because he is on the National Boxing Team.

Ivan the Terrible sounds and fits better. Many of his actions proved that.

No I think formidable is a better word. Do you really have little to no clue what the world was like back then and that it was a conquer or be conquered world... for him to be a terrible czar, he would have just sat around doing nothing and let all these people be conquered by the Ottomans... And if that had happened you would live in a very different world today, you see the Arabian Peninsula was one of the most advanced places on Earth for quite some time and when they adopted a specific new religion all of their scientific medical mathematics all of those Innovations went down the hole, and we have the Islamic world that we know now..... if Ivan didn't do what he did there is a chance that the Ottomans would have kept spreading and spreading and spreading all throughout Europe and you would still be living a stone age existence,,, seriously that place is the birth of Western Civilization so why is it that 100 years ago they were still living like they were 2000 years ago...... they were doing awesome up until about 1500 years ago...... the Eau is the way it is right now because they are billionaires crawling out of the Stone Age, their ethics their laws their mindset has not growing alongside the technology,, and the most heartbreaking thing and I will repeat it again is that at one time that part of the world was the leader technological innovation and Society.....

How about "Ivan the Terrific"?

Ivan The Redoubtable

Terrible and terrifying mean the same thing.

I second this 😁!

@@mareniquevanniekerk7864 I Napoleon the Third it! 😂

Forget Napoleon, what about the explorer Captain James Cook.

Overrated and covered by everyone to death.

Zidane is last French monarch

This video popped up on my recommendations..the narrator is excellent...wish my highschool European history teacher was as good as this guy...LOL! 😅

Agreed 256 videos in 5 years, about one per week!! Always incredibly detailed and well researched. Never used to like History, now love it.

its just all free stock footage

​@@MrMarcodarkothen you do it

​@@craigfowler7098I 2nd you on the love of history didn't care for it when I was younger now it's like I wanna learn everything about everything for knowledge. The more you know 🎉📸🫥😎🕺⚡

​@MrMarcodarko I think they're talking about the bio not the footage

This will be amazing!

"The Man Known to History as Isabel of Castille..."

@@trikyy7238 Haha, accurate!

We use the correct translation in Iran😊

He killed his own kid in a fit of rage. That's pretty freakin' terrible. We didn't twist sh*t.

@@tracyhale8336 That's one of the myths around it as well, and all of this got sucked out of painting that was done 300 years after his death. According to historians, his son was sick and died naturally.

In most Slavic languages, grozni means terrible! If it means something opposite in Russian, I don't know how it got that opposite meaning!

Actually, no. «Гроза» (the noun of «Грозный») means (thunder)storm in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech, Bulgarian, Slovak or Slovenian… but it also means “horrible” in Polish, Croat, Serbian… Anyhow, it was not an uncommon sobriquet for rulers during Middle Ages and there are a few examples (eg his grandad Ivan III) that also had this sobriquet. I agree with an earlier comment that today we mainly know this particular tsar to have this sobriquet due to the famous 19th century painting. A bit like your dose of history through Hollywood nowadays. Not claiming to be a fact, but a plausible theory is that the sobriquet «грозный» was first used during what is known as Time of Troubles, used to rally the Russians vs Polish, who at the time occupied Moscow. There seems to be little evidence that Ivan IV ever used or was known by this sobriquet during his lifetime, even after the death of his son.

И даже современное слово Грозный не передаёт тогдашний оттенок этого слова..

How could they tell that exactly?

Yeah he was playing the game sorry 😂

He had a queen in his hand

Actually, the last great tsar was Alexander lll due to economic, cultural and military development, which he had established

@@user-dm4vh5cc8ntoo bad that he failed to prepare his son to run the country.

There's no way it's E-van. It's definitely I-van

I am dreading how westerners are uneducated and unable to use their own language .

me too. difficult getting some of the words. narration is similar to a professor lecturing but its awesome content is amazing!

What country are yall from? I'm not from England but find the accent easy enough to understand

Didn't they call it Garðaríki?

​​@@gavingreenhorn"Гардариками" скандинавы начали называть Русь (хотя изначально только северные земли Руси) с 12 века. Сами же вдумайтесь в значение этого слова. Гардарики - страна городов. В 9 веке городов на Руси явно было не так уж и много)

Rite... Some people have no idea about history and it shows.. Without Ivan and without Vlad we could be living in a very different world a world with no internet heck maybe even a world with no North America... wouldn't it be funny if a certain religion of Peace LOL AKA keeping everybody back in the Stone Age, had free run over the old world for as long as they want only to be discovered by technologically advanced people from North America,,, the world could be a very very different place,,,

Based

Because he impaled more muslims than his own people? How very christian of him.

Vlad got impaled in the end

@@MrMaxLions beheaded, not impaled

Say please !

@@maryearll3359 Please do a video on Janusz Korczak. The King of Children. He wrote Keytek The Wizard and King Matt the First.

Sounds insane boring.

@@MileyCyrusSwollenGums You have a lot to learn. Janusz was the only person who had a free ticket out of the Warsaw Ghetto. He is featured on the 1978 Poland S 100 Zlotych.

Все правильно, все западные каналы поливают ложью историю России! Сплошная пропаганда..🤦🏻‍♀️

StarmediaEN’s video on the Romanovs is also astonishing.

Any links to the doco?

Does this mean that Ivan the Terrible is of Tatar-Mongol origin?

@@user-pf4vv2ki3vI am not an expert on the history of the Glinsky family, not a historian to assert anything. I perceive this version in the feeling of a "What a twist"- meme. 🙃

We will.

​@@PeopleProfilesawesome 😊😊😊❤❤❤

@@PeopleProfiles Thank you!!

Would you do Sue Cook too ? I heard she can't cook but she will sue .

There's a great profile on captain James Cook on the channel, Heroes and legends

We will.

An extra poignant comment given the political situation around the black sea. Both Russians and Ukrainians claim Crimea when in reality it was Turkic centuries before Ivan was a twinkle in his dad's eye. İt appears that Crimea is actually a land belonging to the Tartars. Look at a timeline of events and make the Suleyman video. Research the history of the black sea and work your way North. You'll find a lot went on long before Catherine the German showed up on the scene

@24:48 someone should tell the English that :))

😅😅😅

You guys are so funny, but still you come here and constantly watch all these videos about the terrible rulers of Russia. I think you are simply interested in learning about a civilization that, in the course of history, destroyed the Swedish Empire, the French Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the 3rd Reich, and along the way did not notice the rest of the small states. You just want to understand the nature of this element, which can destroy you at any moment. Therefore, enlighten yourself

Not really

Yeah, that was mentioned in the video & why it can be so argued.

Yeah it was mentioned in the video if you actually watched it...

No

@@michaeldunham3385 you only say that because it's embarrassing. Russian history is particularly evil and brutal compared to the rest of the world.

Ivan wasn’t an emperor, he was grand prince of moscovy and later self proclaimed tsar of Russia. Russia was proclaimed an empire by Peter I in 1721.

@@tetyanas4026 Tsar, Sultan, Great Khans is emperators title

compared to Henry the Eighth he is a kind, innocent boy

Haha yes you might be right - different times too.

Nope

​@@junglesuperstar9270 actually yes, you've obviously never set foot in Russia

That map is from the “Dungeons and Dragons” it’s an encampment that leads to home of the invisible elves 🧝‍♀️ in the forest 😂.

Because it's a russian name

Think of DJT’s daughter Ivanka, fem for Ivan.

@@Snowman13230 No, the last Rurikid was Vasily Shuisky ( 1606-1610)

Jesus Christ . Tzaritsa. Tsarina is a weird western term .

Это последний настоящий русский царь!🙏 дальше случился переворот и власть захватили романо- немецкие оккупанты на 300 лет до 1917 года!☝️

​@@Nataly79797что ты несешь, женщина? Романовы изначально обычный русский род, потом обнемечились, конечно, таков уж был принцип престолонаследия, нужна была равнозначная статусу супруга, но от этого своими быть не перестали.

@@pickle6599учи историю! Ты не переубедишь нас, русских людей в этом! Мы давно знаем правду!

That's an English accent

Definitely not a Scottish accent

It's not a last name, but a soubriquet. Sort of like the Lion-hearted wasn't Richard I's last name.

Have you heard of Boaty McBoatface or McLovin ?

@@tally1604 it was a joke

@@Combatdocumented 😂😂

​@@Combatdocumented They are two sides of every story.

That figures!😮

The first Stalin for sure

@@CombatdocumentedFun fact: Poland was best friends with Germany. Two countries signed the pact of political, economical and military cooperation in 1934, then in 1938 they combined their forces to invade and annex Czechoslovakia, which started WW2.

Hell is today.

​@@Judith-gj4tzyea ok we are living in better times most men didn't even live past 35 get over your edginess

Actually, you wouldn't notice that it's bad, if you didn't know better. Of course if you torn out of our time and placed there, it would be horrible, but if you was born there, your perception would be different. Today we live in the most prosperous society in history, even poorest of people have the abundance of different food, but people still complaining and are not happy. The role of circumstances is highly overrated, unlikely people were significantly more or less happy back then.

@@XOPOIIIO there are wars all over the world
