💯 agree with this. If Ukraine 🇺🇦 needs to apologize for Ukrainians involved with Nazi collaboration and the Holocaust (i.e. Babi Yar) Then Israel 🇮🇱 should apologize for Jews invoked with Bolshevism & the Holodomor. Hashtag #️⃣ Not all Ukrainians are Nazis, not all Jews are Bolsheviks. Fair is fair. 🇺🇦 🤝 🇮🇱 common struggle.

I thought the soldier was a Muslim?

Євген Ананійович Халдей was the photographer, born in Donetsk oblast. The soldier was Oleksiy Berest from Kharkiv oblast: Олексі́й Проко́пович Бе́рест (9 березня 1921, с. Горяйстівка, Харківська губернія (нині Охтирський район, Сумська область), Українська СРР, СРСР - 4 листопада 1970, Ростов-на-Дону, РРФСР, СРСР) - український та радянський військовик, учасник німецько-радянської війни, Герой України (2005, посмертно), лейтенант Червоної Армії, що встановив, разом з Михайлом Єгоровим та Мелітоном Кантарією, Прапор Перемоги на даху німецького Рейхстагу о 21.50 30 квітня 1945.

I'm NOT pro-Russian, but everyone knows that the West provoked this war.

You don't know what your talking about!

Ukraine put itself into the "gray zone" with its systemic corruption and violence against its own citizens. Also, Ukraine does not meet NATO membership requirements. This guy is basically asking NATO to change its own rules to let in his client.

The decline of Ukrainian studies in Canada helps explain why Ukraine lost the information war. The good news is that the Shevchenko Foundation and others will continue to hand out awards for excellence in teaching.

Shocked and saddened. Ukrainian Canadians need to have louder, stronger voices to combat russian media propaganda 🍁🌻🇺🇦🖖

We never knew how to make things systemic. As a community in Canada we have zero media, no marketing, no story telling in general. russians now are in big mess, but they look for funding, media - first thing after getting out from russian prison. We dance or sing, we fight... But that's it.

They're assimilating. Simple as that. Like other Canadians they're Canadian first and their ethnic backgrounds become matters of a la carte convenience.

Unfortunately Assad is the only thing standing in the way of muslin wiping out Christianity I Syria. This is moskow's ruse.

Unbelievably foolish!!!!!

NATO membership? I am am sure Russia will "back down". Not a chance.

Poland: Tariffs and landlords.

it exists a forgotten ancient connection of iran (antique media kingdom) with the eastern-carpathian regions, mainly with the hutsul people who are living there (in romanian suceava, maramures & ukrainian ivano-frankivsk, chirnivci, zakarpatia), they were called in 1100 AD huci tribe (later came an romanian -ul ending). hutsuls have earliest roots which goes way back to the median busi tribe who were listed by herodot (lived around 450 BC) as one of the ancient westiranic median tribes the busae. an oldiranic typicalness of some languages/dialects was that not rarely the bh sound shifted to h sound: busi>husi/huzi>huci & some variations of hutsul in romania are huzul or hutan. herodotus the historian wrote about colonists from media called sigunians (shuhani is the main luri dialect & the lurs counts as one of the descendants of the antique medes) who settled before herodot's time in transylvania. sigynians wore median clothing, had many median customs and they themselfes said (to herodot) they are descendants of the medes. i can bring some proofs/facts/wordsimilarities/explainings/theorizations to show the direct connection of proto-hutsuls with the medes, concretely median busae tribe & the sigynnian branch who settled in westromania. genetically hutsuls are in first case a mixture of dacians+vlahs+slavs but from their origin (the old substrat) an iranic sigynnian people. about when these median colonists sigynians came to transylvania exist 2 options, they left their homeland and moved via turkey to there around 630 BC (when kyaxares were made for 28 years to a vassal in his own kingdom) or 540 BC (when the median kingdom collapsed and persians took over). the historian strabo (63BC-23AD) wrote about siginians who lived in the southwestern caspia sea/western elborz-mountains region (by the way elborz and east-carparthian areas look in some places similar) like gilan, mazandaran, ardabil, zanjan, qazwin, these siginians were the ones who stayed in media and didn't leave like herodot's sigynnes. strabo said about these ones that in general they practise persians' customs and he mentioned like herodot their small horses race which were shaggy long haired flat-nosed/short-snooted ponies that pulled a chariot/cart in a four-horse-team, maybe that small horse race is related to the eastcarpathian hutul-horses/ponies (as a newer mixed breeding that originated from the sigynnian horses). i go back to the topic with proofs that the hutsuls were in fact of iranic median sigynian origin, the ethnicon itself (besides the most possible explaining that it comes from the median busi tribe name & a s to ts dialectical sound-shift existed sometimes in ukraine too) has also another 4 theories of it's meaning (until today nobody could proof what the ethnonym hucul really means), the 4 other theories what it means are all median cognates: 1. it comes from the gilaki word for "mountain"="quh", that could lead to guh+ul(noun ending) so the huculian ethnonym would mean "people from the mountains". 2. gilaki word "houz" for "lake" would mean hutsuls are "people who live by the lake" 3. northern garmsiri word "guch"="ram/ibex/capricorn/battering-ram/mountain-goat" would mean ghuculs are "people associated with rams/got something to do with rams" 4. gilaki word "ghut" for "immersion" would mean "(water)divers/aquanauts". herodot speculated what the name sigynni could mean from what he heared or knew, he used to associate the name with the meaning "spear" and on the other hand with "traders/hucksters". the proto-hutsul ethnos was surely formed in the maramures region and some bordering north-transilvania areas/northwest-romania where the sigynians sometime between 100-500 AD mixed with the surrounding dacian population & vlahian shepherds, a bit later came the slavic component(tiverians & whitecroats) into their ethnogenesis mainly in the ukraine-romanian bordering regions since 600 AD. sigunnians had 2000 years ago surely 2 median identities: the word siguni has to be the same as shuhani, what means one of the main dialects of lur people aka western-luri language, so it showed their median branch language-identity, but the other identity was the tribe-identity, the word that would later become the ethnicon hucul what means they had seen themselfes as belonging to the husi/huzi/huci tribe what is a dialectical changing of the word busi, their busae tribe identity. also i think that the meaning "sigynni" can all in all be understood as "people who are originally from a stony mountainous area or region" cuz if you take a talishi etymology for that then "sygh" is "stone" or if you take the kurdish etymology then "chiya/shah" is "mountain". talishi plural-suffix -un speaks also for a talishi alike dialect that formed the word "sigunni"(how appolonios wrote the ethnonym). in iran are mostly the galeshi people but also kurds or qashqais known for beeing pastoral-seminomadic like hutsuls are it often too. galeshi people could ethnically fit as descendants in first case of strabo's siginians if not the lurs, if sigynnian really stands for "mountain-man"(like galeshis who are an ethnicity who's homeland are the whole alborz mountains & they speak around 4 dialects who belong to both gilaki & mazandarani languages) and not for "person from the susanian region"(where in first case live the lurs that means the land shushan that was mentioned in the bible), but the name sigynni could speak rather for a proto-kurdish dialect origin if it comes from the word mountain=chiya/shah (in the case that sigynni is not the same as shuhani from the western luri territory or in other words if it doesn't mean proto-luri people or the western-part of them). herodot's sigynnians really could be people who mixed on the way with other different west-migrating iranians (rather from mountainous areas). the word for an "inhabitant of the mountains" in hutsulian itself is "sus", maybe the etymology of that word (in the case if it's not symbiosically identical with kurdish "shax"="mountain"/"qysh"="rock") and also of the name sigynn and even hutsul really goes back to the name of the ancient metropolis susa (today shush) from the copper-age and the region susiana where that city was included (through mixing the meaning? because susa's etymology is unknown but the region has actually enough mountainous areas too & it is strongly assumed that around 500 BC in susiana were spoken both languages median and elamitic/hatamitic because a textual sources study shows that in the neoassyrian period not only media but also further to the west like elamitic areas had a population with iranian-speakers often as majority and most sources say the whole susiana was 2600 years ago part of the median kingdom but some sources say only the northern/eastern susiana areas or that susiana was after the elamitic reign only part of assyrian and babylonian kingdoms idk wich ones are true) and used were also the names shushun, shushan & sugan, today susiana is the province xuzestan and was called already by persians from achaemenidic times hujiya & huziya, susi(ana)/xuze(stan) remind of the word sus(=mountain-inhabitant=hutsul?) and the ethnonym hutsul that is also often spelled husul(husanesc) & huzul(huzulei) is without the newer romanian ending huts/huz/hus but in that region itself is known a doubtable folk etymology for the word "xuzi" explained as "sugar manufacturer" or "sugar cane cultivator", so far one can just only speculate whether sigynnes & hutsuls have something to do with susiana or not because the shuhan district lies not in the historical susiana region but in ilam (xuzistan's northern neighbour province) and the luri shuhani dialect is also mainly spoken in ilam and not in xuzistan, it's more realistic that shuhan(i) is directly connected with sigynn(i) while susiana was surely lesser populated with medes.................

The Russian immigration to Winnipeg was insignificant! The ones who did come from the Ruzzian empire were Ukrainians like Mosienko’s who were escaping Ruzzian cruelty!

What nonsense is this guy talking about?? He lacks a basic understanding of the meaning and teaching of the Orthodox Church’s sacraments and structure.

Best owner I've ever met!

Although I have not read Myroslav's book I think I have enough knowledge and experience to comment. He should clearly examine the history of the territory of Ukraine as set out in 1991 and handed over to Ukraine by the USSR and the 200 years leading up to then. Up until the mid 19th century the land now known as Ukraine was essentially underdeveloped and agricultural. Tsar Alexander the second of Russia in 1870 instructed that the land now known as the Donbass be sold to the Welsh Entrepreneur John Hughes and was owned by his company "New Russia". John Hughes had a contract with Russia to develop the land into an industrial complex comprising of iron works, steel mills etc along with development of coal fields. By the turn of the century the Donbass area was one of the most industrialised areas in Europe with a very large steel making industry that supplied, amongst other steel products, most of the rails that were used to expand the rail network in Russia. Donetsk (formerly named Hughesovka after John Hughes) had expanded to a major town. Many Russians (along with a few Welsh) were attracted into the Donbass region and effectively Eastern Ukraine became a major Russian region known as Little Russia. (It is worth noting that Tsar Alexander also sold Alaska to the US in 1867!!). This set the scene for Eastern and Central Ukraine to be pro Russian and Russian speaking and Western Ukraine to remain with a legacy of multiple "foreign occupations" and a mixture of different ethnic cultures but with a desire starting to appear for a Ukrainian identity to emerge. When I lived and worked in Ukraine it was Shevshenko (the famous poet not the footballer) that was the hero that gave Ukraine its national identity starting from the 19th century. Although Myroslav hasn't mentioned Stepan Bandera, who controlled the radical militant wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, the OUN-B, who actually was responsible for major atrocities in Western Ukraine against Poles, Jews and Ukrainians. He was involved in the assassination of the Polish Interior Minister Bronisław Pieracki in 1934. The Great famine of 1932/33 in Ukraine was used by the Ukrainian nationalists to propagate anti Russian feeling that Stalin had purposely made the Ukrainians suffer. In reality, if records are examined from that time, there were extensive famines all over Russia mainly caused by the incompetence of mismanagement of the transition of the economy to a more centralised system. However the famine was used by the ultra nationalists to encourage anti Russian sentiments that obviously still exist today. I have lived and worked in Russia and Ukraine and have relatives that range from nationalists with Neo Nazi attitudes to very pro Russian Ukrainians. I have found that practically all Ukrainians whether from the West or the East to be very nice people. It is the philosophy of the ultra nationalists that have started the problems in the Ukraine and these people pervade the politics who are in turn in the pockets of the Oligarchs. Ukraine is not a democracy but an oligarchy and has many more Oligarchs than Russia. In fact most Ukrainian Oligarchs have Russian passports!! The Western World has piggy backed the civil war to try to undermine Russia and it has backfired and the West including the EU and UK are paying the price. Whether the Galicia division of the SS Waffen did or did not carry out this or that atrocity is rather irrelevant to the present situation. What did happen is the coup in 2014 when the legitimate government in Ukraine was overthrown, aided and abetted by the West. The US backed Ukrainian government then started shelling the Donbass. Pro Russian people in Odessa were burnt to death. NATO and US were threatening to place even more missiles on the border of Ukraine. Our Boris stopped a peace treaty being signed in March 2022. The West should pray that someone starts peace talks soon before Ukraine will disappear for good.

This is very informative - but if the Ukrainian Cossacks didn't have families, can it really be said that modern Ukrainians have Cossack lineage? I have always thought of Ukraine as being Polonized Rus' (Ruthenia?) plus Cossacks... The idea that the former lands of the Crimean Khanate were settled by Russian Don Cossacks runs the risk of feeding into the Russian narrative of Eastern Ukraine in fact being Novorossiya, where Ukrainians only settled late in the game alongside Russians and others invited by the Tsar - Serbs, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, etc.

Funny how your son-in-law, playing pattycake with Obama, Biden, and NPR (for a paycheck) facilitated the Russian annexation of Crimea (under Obama) and the invasion of Eastern Ukraine (under Biden). He hasn't just betrayed America, with his support of the false Russia hoax unleashed by Democrats, but also YOU, personally. I'm sure your grandchildren are lovely humans. Your son-in-law has now had a terrifying effect on Ukraine. Obama gave Russia the Crimean Peninsula, and Biden essentially authorized the Russian assault into Eastern Ukraine. Yeah, your other (ex) son-in-law was no prize, but at least he didn't attack your heritage and history by unleashing global terror on your ancestral nation.

i don’t think anybody cares but this was me. i’m 13 going on 14 now and i like to come by and watch this video every once in a while because i was really freaking adorable

Mindless. And did she say "that's something that should be celibate"??? They are slavic and white through and through. What "pluralism"? And why should they have any: The ethnicities in Russia (10% of "Russians" are Muslims) are part of Russia because they were CONQUORED. Putin came to power turning Chechnya to rubble.

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress, to this day (2024), refuses to disavow anything the OUN-UPA did. Instead it perpetrates the outright lies that those organizations weren't fascist, and that it had nothing whatsoever to do with killing unarmed Jewish or Polish civilians in WWII. That doesn't at all negate the cause of Ukraine's independence, nor Ukraine's current existential war against Russia. But the both the ends AND the means matter.

The Orthodox Christian church is growing in USA some Ukranian Orthodox churches in USA are dying because of language barrier for younger generations born in USA but they will fix that

I enjoyed the video and plan to get both of your books.

What a great take on this amazing song!

Facts: The myth presenting the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) and the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) as main actors in these acts of violence, was actively exploited by the Soviet and later Muscovite propaganda to justify the fight that the USSR’s repressive agencies were waging against these organizations. As the myth goes, during World War II the supporters of the nationalist movement were massively killing Jews, Poles, and Muscovite speakers. It thus gave grounds to the Soviet intelligence and members of the security service to fight against them till the late 1950s under the pretext to not let them “massively kill”.Not only OUN members but also members of the group that had formally nothing to do with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists were presented as “Ukrainian nationalists” by the Soviet and Muscovite propagandaIt is not rare to see the statements in today’s Muscovite - MAGA- MARXIST - NEO NAZI media suggesting “mass killings of Jews by followers of Bandera” and that “Bandera was responsible for killings of Jews in western Ukraine”. They also claim that “Nachtigall” and “Roland” (German battalions formed of Ukrainian soldiers, which did not take part in combat actions) were among the main organizers of Holocaust in Ukraine. By mixing up these notions attempts are made to create a logical sequence in the heads of the viewers and readers suggesting that Ukrainians standing for the independent state are nationalists, while Ukrainian nationalists were killing Jews during World War II, which makes all standing for the independent Ukrainian state open or secret anti-Semites and criminals.Mass and systematic killings of Jews during World War II in Ukraine were conducted not by Ukrainian nationalists but by Nazi troops and militarized units. These were mainly staff of security service, SS and police as well as assistant personnel.

I wish there were more interviews with Michael Mucz on old remedies… Thank you so much for this video! ❤

Дякую панові Тарасові за чудовий детальний огляд (не)продуктивності академічної спільноти. Тепер зрозуміло, чому добрих років 5 після Євромайдану був такий дикий дефіцит контр-аргументів для боротьби проти російської пропаганди. Дуже вчасно було організовані українські кінофестивалі, щоб заповнити ту прогалину. Зараз, звичайно, ситуація інша. Повага Кузьові за невтомну працю, часто всупереч впертій коньюнктурі.

Reading what the soviets (especially Trotsky) wrote about the black army they say the same, i don't trust what soviets or German imperial colonialists(who effectively enslaved urkainian peasants) say on history, i think the peasants were the most correct about makhno, and i wouldnt listen to Mennonites as it would be a kin to listening to the CSA lost cause proganda (like on Sherman) not to say that the black army didnt do violence but it was directed and were not bandits, its funny how revolutionary figures get casted as a bandits or raiders for freedom fighting, great vid btw!

Apologies. A second mic was accidentally interfering with the sound for the first 70s seconds or so.

Дякую за Ольгу Мак. Щойно причитав "Каміння під косою"

Canadian prairie Chernozem soil is identical to Ukraine's. Only those two places in the world have this rich black soil type which is perfect for large scale wheat production. 120 years ago the Canadian government offered free land incentives to Western Ukrainians to immigrate and develop. Ukrainians arrived ready prepared to farm the frigid bald headed prairie. Slava Ukraini! 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Typical Soviet style Ukrainian historical narrative: if many Ukrainians are like you, don't blame other people who think you as a nation are not much different from the Russians. Removing a people without killing them (Ukrainians) from a territory is genocide. But murdering people with axes and forks is not. Such a Russian-style logic of narration.

Дякую за правдиве слово!

Wagner, Putin’s private army. Formed in Donbas in 2o14 financed and armed by Putin were in Donbas in April 2022 and before. After Perzogin’s death Putin admitted to how much they paid to the .Wagner .group.

Crimea is true 🇺🇦 forever!!!!

Soviet Ukrainian....... Jews, should apologize?! does he even know what means to be a communist in the USSR? "I'm not racist, I have this Rabbi friend"

Дякую! Моя англійська не достатньо добра, щоб зрозуміти УВЕСЬ сенс сказаного, АЛЕ, здається, все правильно... Дякую за розповідь про батька Махно !

russia is pure evil

Now this brings back memories.Not so much about the zabava's but meeting Nadia when we flew half way round the world to be in Toronto for the Bloor Street Ukrainian Festival. I have both of her CD's (one signed by Nadia) and very fond memories of talking with her parents at the festival.A quick visit to meet with another group Kavaleri and some people will always be the highlight of the trip. One would ask, where are they all now?

Not surprising. A lot of Canadians evem 7 years later are pretty ignorant

He called it. 6 Years ago this video. Ukraine war happened not long after.
