There's a little mistake 12:11 Orange revolution was in 2004, not 2014

So interesting! I started learning Ukrainian yesterday! 💪My humble support to Ukrainians.

Finally there is the good quality explanation of history of Ukrainian language in English.

Неймовірна робота! Дякую! Thanks to everyone who watch this video and support it. Hope you get some facts about the history of the Ukrainian language, so you won't be so vulnerable to russian propaganda declaring there is no Ukrainian as an independent language.

Thank you so much for your work. We are pleased to use your video in our classes about Ucranian culture.

The Ukrainian language is beautiful

What a nice video you’ve produced! I was quite impressed after watching it in Ukrainian. And now you have it in English - I’m pretty surprised! Good job, guys! Thank you very much!

😻 AMAZING! You are the love, guys & gals🇺🇦

Thank you so much! Your material is incredible! I was watching with tears in my eyes... It's difficult to imagine what Ukrainian language has passed through... And how many lives of the Ukrainian writers and scientists were given for the revival of our Ukrainian language! So now it's the very time to support and develop our language!!! Keep doing your brilliant job! Glory to Ukraine!💙💛

Дякую за вашу роботу! Це дуже важливо!

Thank you so much for this awesome video!

this is an amazing documentary. Very well done.

Thanks 💙💛

Amazing culture, country and language. Ukraine and Ukrainian FOREVER 🇺🇦🇮🇪❤️

Loved the accent of the tsar🤣

Дякую за вашу роботу ❤

Awesome 😲

Браво! Дякую, Ukraїner!💪

wow! that was really cool! it was interesting even for me - a native Ukrainian speaker

I waited a long time for a mention of the start of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine, until I looked at the release date of the video. Because if you look at the sequence of relations between Russia and Ukraine, a full-scale war seems inevitable.

Great video, go on creating like this one!

Thanks for this awesome retrospective !

Thank you for this! Дякую

Це просто вогінь! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for this informative video. Really enjoyed it!

дуже дякую! İ'm Austronesian and started learning Ukrainian because the spelling and pronunciation is easier for İ personally. 😊

thank you so much for your work! love it❤️

Really interesting about Ukrainian language✌

it's sad, they didn't say anything about Siberian Ukrainians. they have greatly influenced the Russian language in Siberia.

Дуже дякую за це відео. I am learning Українська мова, is a кит of a мова, але вона дуже краси́ва. Greetings from Чилі!!

💛💙Дякую, обов‘язково поширю

Nice video 👍💙💛

Напишу коментар просто тому, що впевнений, що це видиво має бути популярнішим

Thank you Ukrainer

Дякую. Дуже цікаво 🤓😊🇺🇦🔱

Пропустили частину про "Австрійський Ген-Штаб" :) ліл

Thank you, you did a good job presenting this. However, some of your statements in the first half of the video conflict with the research that I've done. Could you provide any sources that you have used? 🤔

You forgot to say about 'holodonor' unfortunately

ДЯКУЮ!

Well done, Ukraїner! Keep killing it

Ви круті

Ukraine regained its independency in 1991, not got.

Дякую ❤

Ukrainian language is so beautiful, but only if it’s a long text. In short phrases Russian is more pleasant to listen, & somehow there is only Russian artists & rapers from slavs who actually well-known in other countries, but not Ukrainian ones. Russian is more accurate to church-slavonic, because greeks/byzantiums minded “Ы” to make “ɨ”sound, but in Ukrainian “И” makes “ɨ”sound. And “Ї”makes short “И”sound, but in Ukrainian it sounds like usual “И”, but their “И” is “І”, which sound was so close to “И” in church-slavonic. Also they have “Г” as “gh/h”sound as well as “h” sound of “Х” but “Ґ” as “g” sound. In Russian there is “Г”, but it does “g” sound.

Well done

чи могли б ви зробити автоматичні субтитри будьласка ? хочу показувати друзям з франції і людям які запитують чи російська і українська одна й та ж сама мова :):)

І напишу ще один коментар через таку саму причину

Support

Thanks for making informative stuff in such a nice and creative way!

Дякую

Yefremov was kinda foxy.

🇺🇦✊

Can you make it in French ? Russian propaganda very strong in France nowadays

Ukrainian dialect is a mix of mainly Russian, Polish and Serbian.

The Ukrainian language is a canvas of purification of the Ukrainian nation from the age-old planting of the russian speech! 26.11.2020 (01:15) S.V.M.

Cyrillic alphabet is not based on greek alphabet. It is based on glagolitsa which has nothing to do with greek alphabet. Glagolitsa is based on old Balkan alphabets as Linear A, Liner B and others. Greek alphabet was imported to the Balkans later from Phoenicia.

Дивлюся щоб вивчити англійську

There is no such a thing as “church slavonic”. That term is a russian invention. There was no slavonic church. The church lenguage is old bulgarian.

мне нравится украинский язык, но я лумаю украинцы меня даже не воспримут, только потому что я русский(

So Ukrainians gave words to Russian language but taken none from Russian hahahahaha ?

Hahahahah you what ???? I’m sorry I’m Ukrainian and Kiev was capital city of Russia 😂 Ukraine or even term Ukrainian (the borderland) was not even created 😂 so what you saying is 6th century Rus Kiev empire 😂

Alternative history is my major kick nowadays.Would you like to speak about Ukrainization process in your next video or simply admit the fact that most people in Ukraine speak some weird "Spanglish" or" Esperanto" now, that is hardly can be called a language.Surzhik,right?I know the idea was to show how bad Russia is but It has nothing to do with language.

Kievan RUS.... it's Russian spoken in a shitty manner!

this video is based on emotions and not facts or history. Soviet Union forced Ukrainians to speak Russian is a joke, as Russian itself was born in Ukraine, it's a dialect of old Slavic language that was spoken in Kiev. even by that standard the Russian dialect is Ukrainian. it's really sad that now the Russian speaking provinces will be subject to hatred and alienation by eastern Ukrainians. this stupid reason one day will divide Ukraine.

Russia, Ukraine and Bielorussia, one nation ❤

Предвзятая Брехня!

What an absurd. There were no Ukrainian language before the end of 18th centure. All that you showed is old Russian. It is an artificially created language of crossbreed between Russian and Polish. In addition, there were no fight with Ukrainian language in soviet era. As a metter of fact Stalin issued a decree to teach pople of that region ukranian language and thus published books. Before the current pre 2014 regime, Russian language had dominant position across the country except for the western part.

i prefer learn Soured there are more speakers than in Ukrainian and more of the 300 millions of Russophones will understand me as well Ukrainophones Your terms are an "annexion of two languages" heritage. When bolcheviks seized the power their policy in 1922 was the one of Ukranisation it was quiet little Ukrainian speaking and bolcheviks had difficulties to find teachers Famous world know Ukrainian writers are Gogol, Bougliakov, Kourkov all in Russian. thats why you dont promote them because your aim is to iradicate Russian language spoken by 65 % of your people as communication language Ukraine is far to be a democracy What would happen if the flemish people in Belgium suppressed the french language You say that Russian Empire annexed Ukraine but it was no Ukraine at this time You could claim Kiev Russ with( with Russia) but it disappeared because succession problems .Kaganovith was probably a "Russian" ( with his roots in Kiev) You are completely "out of west" and of the school of ultra Ukrainian nationalism not far from Bandera adorers and revisionists You make voluntary confusion between Russian and Soviet Union; this scandalous or you are iletrate of the bolchevism history Lenin had no drop of Russian blood, Trotsky was Ukrainian ( Red army chief in a war 12 millions deaths) Brejnev was Ukrainian, Krutchev half Ukrainian his wife Ukrainian and The Ukrainian Kaganovitch who organized Holomodor against his own people, Holomodor was ordered by Staline a Georgian, implemented by Beria a georgian the NKVD boss
