trapical it sounds like the introduction to some kind of dystopian Russia in 201... *wait a minute* Seriously though, when I heard the industrial theme and was moving my Cossacks (retainers +1 amenity) I could easily picture a dark setting, as they would have quietly moved through the snowy tundra and the muddy pathways created by my traders.
Did the early Russian Navy warships based on Dutch Designs? Before then Russians (or Muscovy to be precise) used similar warships, AFAIK they began with River Galleys (pretty much the same designs as Ottomans or other Khanate navy) even by his time.
Peter 1 is not a Tsar! After Peter, Russia became an empire and all the rulers of the emperors, although they were called the king, for example, Nicholas 2, but this was not the main title. By the way, here is the full title of Nicholas 2 - the emperor and autocrat of All-Russian, Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod; king of Kazan, king of Astrakhan, king of Poland, king of Siberia, king of Tauric Chersonesos, king of Georgia; Sovereign Pskov and Grand Duke Smolensky, Lithuanian, Volyn, Podolsky and Finland; Prince of Estland, Livonia, Courland and Semigalsky, Samogitsky, Bialystok, Korelsky, Tver, Ugra, Perm, Vyatka, Bulgaria and others; the sovereign and the Grand Duke of Novgorod of the lower lands, Chernigov, Ryazan, Polotsky, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Belozersky, Udora, Obdorsky, Kondi, Vitebsk, Mstislavsky and all northern countries; and the sovereign of Iversky, Kartalinsky and Kabardinsky lands and regions of Armenians; Cherkasy and Gorsky princes and other hereditary sovereign and possessor, sovereign of Turkestan; Norwegian heir, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Ditmarsen and Oldenburg. And these are all the titles of Peter the Great - Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia, Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod, Tsar of Kazan, Tsar of Astrakhan, Tsar of Siberia, Sovereign of Pskov and Grand Prince of Smolensky, Prince of Estonia, Livonia. Korelsky, Tver, Ugra, Perm, Vyatka, Bulgarian and others, the Sovereign and Grand Prince of Novgorod the Nizov land, Chernihiv. Ryazan. Rostov, Yaroslavl, Beloozersky, Udora, Obdorsky, Kondian and all Northern countries are the ruler and Sovereign of the Iversky lands, the Kartala and Georgian Kings, and the Kabardian lands, Cherkasy and Mountain Princes and other hereditary Sovereign and Holder. Yes, he was tsar, but his main merits and reforms occurred when he became emperor. Tsar's appeal was colloquial
I had a character in Call Of Cthulhu, a russian engineer called Dimitri Valissiev. One session we were the group was finding each member to make a meeting and he has chilling in his apartment with a Balalaika play that song... Gosh, that was amazing
Addicted to drinking, sex and partying, but also an hyperactive worker, one of the most hardcore men who ever lived, also probably the only monarch in history that left his throne for a year just for love to knowledge and modern navy. Russia been self proclaimed as the third Rome was a joke until this guy took power and made the title of god emperor something to not mess around with.
Came here from Kings and Generals' video about the history of the Kievan Rus - genuine chills at the end as the age of the Rus comes to an end, with the industrial version of this theme playing
Little snowberry, snowberry, snowberry of mine! Little raspberry in the garden, my little raspberry! Ah, under the pine, the green one, Lay me down to sleep, Rock-a-bye, baby, rock-a-bye, baby, Lay me down to sleep. Little snowberry, snowberry, snowberry of mine! Little raspberry in the garden, my little raspberry! Ah, little pine, little green one, Don't rustle above me, Rock-a-bye, baby, rock-a-bye, baby, Don't rustle above me. Little snowberry, snowberry, snowberry of mine! Little raspberry in the garden, my little raspberry! Ah, you beauty, pretty maiden, Take a fancy to me, Rock-a-bye, baby, rock-a-bye, baby, Take a fancy to me. Little snowberry, snowberry, snowberry of mine! Little raspberry in the garden, my little raspberry!
Спать положите вы меня. Ах, под сосною под зеленою Спать положите вы меня. Ай, люли-люли, ай, люли-люли, Спать положите вы меня. Калинка, калинка, калинка моя.
What a peacefu- WHAT ARE THOSE, COSSACKS? Oh well, I can hold off this assault. 50 turns later. 11:42 No, no, no those aren't Cossacks... 12:52 NO NO NO NO, THOSE ARE TANKS
When I played the game as England with all vanilla colonial powers (including Russia) I beat Russia before they even got to tanks. The only military units they had were four privateers and two cossacks. It was easy as pie.
0:00 - Humble Beginnings (Ancient) 2:19 - Rise of Moscow (Medieval) 6:18 - Bolshevik Uprising (Industrial) 10:50 - The Red Army's march (Atomic) That's what I always felt while playing Russia and listening to it's music
I'd say it as 0:00 Kieven Rus, Pre Mongolian era 2:19 rise of Moscow, expansion into Siberia 6:18 troubles in the 19th century (becomes backwater, poor, unstable) 10:50 20th century, WW1, Bolsheviks, becoming a world power, nuclear
@@dango6266 The first two is fitting but I just thought that the Industrial would be about the October revolution as well as Stalin's totalitarianism. The atomic was simply about the Soviet's relentless performance during WW2 as well as their march to Berlin. Also, these are just alternate titles I've given.
@@enclaveenthusiast8908 I know. But there was more in between the formation and Russia and the Soviets that really set the stage for what was about to come like the Crimean wars and the Russo-Japanese war, both they lost due to their inability to industrialize.
@@dango6266 Yeh, but the bolsheviks destroyed almost all of Russian Civilization, plunging the country into a bloody civil war, only to build their own ugly one, which did not last for 70 years.
on my first game, i spawned on a continent with russia being my only neighbor. we were really good allies, until i had to conquer them to stop them from taking over my civ with their religion. the rest of the game i went for a domination victory, and destroying the other civilizations listening to only russia's medieval and atomic era music was sublime, as if i were conquering the world with the memory of my lost ally. definitely one of, if not my top favorite themes in the game.
@tristankalan6158 Not always, I was playing as Russia, and he declared war on me multiple times because of the golden age, but my territory was absolutely massive.
Lot of people hate on this civ for feeling unfocused, but to me that's what makes them so fun. I never feel locked into one playstyle, even though people surely expected Russia to be wide domination, they can do more than just that. And I get to guarantee that this song will play throughout the game.
it's a 100% culture/religion civ. It cannot do anything else consistently. That's what I hate about Civ 6 representation of Russia. It should have been so much more flexible and able to reflect the power of the soviet industry and it's technological come-back.
Seriously it reflects about life. So beautiful, slow and calm at first then it gets harder and harder to the point when it becomes Dark. At that time, all you see is the damn 'Red ICBM button' and all your life depends on that decision to toggle it or not 😢
I am always crying when hearing how music theme becomes more alive and appropriate to era the Russia lives. I want to see some video clip about historical evolution of Russian state with pictures of real events in Russia during the appropriate era. For example: Ancient theme reminds me of Slav tribes and times of first Russian Princes. Medieval reminds me of period from Tzars like Ivan the Terrible to 1900's uears Industrial age reminds me of Revolution and participation of Russia/USSR in Two World Wars. Atomic is post-World War Soviet Union with Nuclear power and space program successes and current Russia.
да, очень не хватает чего-то промежуточного. плюс, касаемо России, было бы лучше, если для Древней темы использовали гусли или другие древнерусские инструменты, балалайка все же только в конце XVII века появилась
@@khantemujin2245 Не думаю, что именно Калинка на гуслях и балалайке будет сильно отличатся. да и концепция нарушится. на гуслях звук схож, но он сложнее и совершеннее, балалайка это уже упрощение. В игре же должно идти от простого к более сложному. Тогда уж духовые для древности, какие нибудь гудки. Но думаю, что от такой музыки сума сойдешь.
@@vrodeden вполне возможно, спорить не буду по поводу гудков, мб не такая уж и плохая идея, если бы это звучало не слишком громко и навязчиво, у скифов вроде, например, дудук в древней теме используется. хотя мб решили использовать балалайку т.к. из всех русских инструментов это самый известный и наиболее прочно ассоциирующийся с Россией, другие бы просто не поняли
@@khantemujin2245I don’t think any of the themes in Civ are supposed to be entirely accurate. Hell, the USA and Australia exist in ancient times in this game.
@@swifts6879 well, yeah, you're right, although, speaking about the United States, I like that in Civ3 it was representing not only the modern state but, let's say, pre-Columbian cultures which existed on its territory, at least Abraham Lincoln wore some Native American clothes in the Ancient Era or smth x) and also Australia's ancient theme uses some instruments of their indigenous people
carples oh as Germany I'm seeing him right now in the atomic age trying to take over the world and since he hates me for not having much culture im afraid our 2 great powers will most likely clash
This song is beautiful and a magnificent hommage to Kalinka, but, I can't help to wonder what this would have looked like if the had chosen Korobeiniki instead. I am sure they would have easily made the best (kind of) Tetris Theme A remix. (I know that Korobeiniki isn't really the same thing as tetris theme A, but, since they usualy only take the core of a song and then ad their own creation on top of it, it would probably have been something closer to the tetris theme than to korobeiniki) (Sorry about my english)
By the comments, I was expecting something heavy and dark, but Russia's atomic is as beautiful and meaningful as (most) the other OSTs in the game. Among my favorites are Kong, Korea, Georgian. Each one of them is capable of bringing me a different sensation.
This whole theme actually made me remember Eren from AoT. All Seasons do resembles the music intensity. Finally it becomes so dark like him, it feels now its going to wreck havoc.
@@xtq0528 Где были Украинцы при Петре Великом?) Правильно, на окраине Империи Российской - замечу, что Украина - это и есть дословно "Окраина Империи".
I think that this song (English name is "Song of the Volga boatmen") appears in Civilization games too much often. It was theme of Russia in Civ1, Civ2 and Civ4 (Peter, Stalin)
Uniban Black You are correct. In fact, if Polyushko Poyle was to be used, then Civ would've had either Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Antropov or Gorbachev as Russia's leader. (Both Lenin and Stalin had their turn)

Peter was first crowned as a Tsar. He only became the Emperor of Russia in 1721, and I would think that Peter's depiction in here is meant to represent him during his most active years, as in, about between the Grand Embassy (from which he brought a lot of experience back home) and the end of the Great Northern War. Probably even just after Poltava, when he has already defeated the Swedish Empire on land and is building the fleet to do the same to them at sea. He only was an Emperor for about 4 years, while he was a Tsar for almost 40. So it would be quite correct to call him a Tsar. Much unlike Catherine, who's never been a Tsarina (it isn't even a real title!), but has been an Empress.
