Кирилл Привалов I have a question if you read this. When do Russians typically mark the creation of Russia? When the Kievan Rus’ was founded? When Rurik came to Novgorod? When the Tsardom of Russia was created? Idk

@@pluto6383 It is written that Rurik came to Novgorod in 862 after Slovene and other tribes called him and his brothers (Sineus and Truvor) here. It's the year that is thought to be the year of creation of Russia, though there were tribes all over the area where they had dwellings (from Novgorod to Kiev). Then Oleg united Novgorod and Kiev in 882.

882 is the year when Kievan Rus was founded

Кирилл Привалов ok. I’ve never been to Russia but hope to visit Moscow or Saint Petersburg someday.

Никто не говорит "Парижская Франция", потому что политическое устройство Франции той эпохи не было завязано на Париже, чего нельзя сказать о Руси: по законам наследования де-юре правителем Руси являлся князь, правящий в Киеве, что приводило к бесконечным войнам и интригам за этот город, который давал право номинально править всей Русью.

Not fix only. They built new cities even.

What about England then? They have been formed first by Angles and Saxons, then Vikings, then Normands, who are of Viking descent. Normands have also installed one of the most tolerant and prosperous kingdom of their time, in Sicily, after expelling the Arabs of the island.

actually no there were two major battles documented where the vikings fought the Inuit, both ended with a viking victory with minor casualties. the first one 1003 22 vikings died and the natives retreated, the second in 1010 where the vikings lost 2 and the natives retreated. The reason they didn't take over the place was due to many reasons but the main one being lack of resources. Iceland (who went there) did not posses the manpower nor resources to really take over the place and since the natives had nothing of value raiding there proofed useless so they left. there is evidence however that they actually went there for wood up until the 13th century.

Those Vikings came and saw that there is good land and good men. They decided enough to have long hikes and robberies, we stay here, we will cultivate the land, raising livestock and defend against enemies of this land and the people with whom they have become one family. The descendants of those Vikings still live in that area. And nothing has changed since then, those who come to the Russian land with war, would never leave her alive, and those who come with love and peace he finds a new home here.

That's amusing what low opinion people have nowadays of ancient politicians. I am yet to see one successful ruler who ruled according to personal preferences, tastes and habits. This kind of rulers gets replaced in few years now, and always was throughout the history from pre-roman times.

It is the Chazar story. They lived in between Muslims and Christians who were at each other's throat but somehow could let Jews live. So Chazars' chose was the obvious - Judaism.

+Landon Le @Landon Le: the Russians did not choose Christianity--- the UKRAINIANS did!! Kievan Rus was Ukrainian NOT Russian. There was no Russia until 500 years later.

William Gill_Esq. Kyivan Rus was the Origin of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. Kyiv and the Kyivan lands were Ukraine (as seen in the Kyiv Choronicles). But Moscow was founded by a Rus prince, and Novgorod dialect grew into Russian, too. So yes, the Kyivan Rus is, to some extent the History of Russia, but they were not the ONLY Slavic tribe there, and the main people were Kyiv people. Russia as it is today became that way under the Mongols and after Ivan (the great) rebelled against them. P.S. Technically, since Novgorod did not _want_ to give up Paganism, Russia, in fact, did _not_ choose Christianity. It also saddens me how you forget about Belarus. Belarus!

@@AlexanderSergeevRus "Russia" is an English word. The Russians themselves never called themselves that.

@@WatcherSCP No. In the Old Russian language this word has been writing as Роусь/Rous'. Rus' is derived from more modern word Русь.

@@alexwhite3830 "Viking" does not represent a nation or ethnic group. It the term to mention a subpopulation dedicated to a particular activity, and as consequence, keeping a style of life. Viking travelled to remote lands and also mixed with other peoples. So, even some of them were of darker skin and hair as portrayed in the fantasy movies. As well, there were finno-ugric groups of people amongst the Vikings. Vikings is not a synonym of Varyag in genetics. Viking is neither a synonym of "Scandinavian".

+32167BD What are the lies?

I would say there are more unconfirmed information. First of all, the word Rus would actually mean Red (the red people for whatever reason, I may be wrong, but the word ruso remained in the archaic versions of other Slavic languages meaning red). Second, there are archaeological sites that imply that the letters known now as Cyrillic predate Christianity (tombstones at Vinča, Serbia, around 6th century B.C.). Why there are few to none written records from that time is because: a) The Church would systematically destroy old Slav scriptures (and also building churches in the very sites of pagan worship) b) Communism (I do not want to even begin explaining this) And c) Isolation from the West I do realize that the lack of evidence is not evidence itself, but you do have to realize that due constant turbulence in Slavic societies (i.e. wars,economic recession,ideological disputes etc.) there has been very little concern for archaeology and historical research. There are other things I could point out, but I am not a historian, I may be wrong, and I cannot be bothered to type anymore :)

no the cyrillic alphabet is called like that for a reason and of course there never was something called "old slavic" destroyed by the church and the communists. read history and speak with proof my friend.

There was some old "runes", but they was so primitive and undeveloped (versus scandinavian "runes") that modern history states that they were not for actual writing but just some symbols of pagan gods.

You are clearly wrong in the place where you think that they did not impose significant pressure on occupied nations. Look up how many nationalities does RF contain and how is their culture going(there is a lot of them and their languages are dead as well as their culture). Not all the post soviet countries saved it’s culture. Look at Belarus which language is now officially dying. All the other countries are fighting their way back away from russian language to their own culture. Speaking about Ukraine, you can read about suppression of the Ukrainian language on the Wikipedia. There were around 180 laws for the last 5 centuries from Poland and Russia total, but the former is clear winner in banning. Not mentioning Stalin’s terror, Holodomor and countless elite repressions. So no, the struggle was real.

The question is rather go into democracy or combine the power of west and east. The second is more beneficial even without complete democracy. Russians learned it hard way.

Very nice comment. Always good to hear both sides 👍

Kievan Rus is not a state, but a temporary period in the history of the country. It was named so because at that time Kyiv had one of the strongest influences of all the other principalities.

@@lubneko Then why do Ukrainians say that Kievan Rus was earlier than Russia?

@@Bozorg_Muhandes This is true. The period of Kievan Rus was much earlier than the unification of the principalities into a single Russian kingdom. By the time of the unification of the principalities, the ruling dynasty of Rurikovich moved from Kyiv to the city of Vladimir. By that time, Kyiv itself had lost its former greatness and was captured by the Kingdom of Poland.

They didnt called it "Kievan rus" . People who lived in that time called it " Rouskaya zemlya" but other nations called it other ways

and I thought of Ukraine. Because it was Ukrainian state

@@user-tt8hn3bu1t It is part of Ukraine's history, sure, but it was not Ukraine. It is a country that does not exist anymore. We should not project present-day realities onto the past.

*We* are breathtaking.

kievskaya rus

lmao

Да это для западников, кто то будет разбираться. Нет конечно. Главное, что бы себя любимых туда примешать.

По-моему единственное с чем они накосячили это норманнская теория

Западные источники и дают её искожённой. Специально или нет не знаю.

@@user-gi6qd8rm2r а еще они в штаны тебе насрали, а в газете правда - чистую правду пишут

Володимир-Волинський, друже, файне українське місто!

RUSSIA IS NOT RUS, it is the successor to a Rus COLONY, ZALESYE, they are majority Finno-ugric people, they just stole the name Russia for themselves after they concoured their former masters - the people now know as Ukrainians, Ukraine 🇺🇦 is the real Rus.

Exactly!

That’s actually pretty accurate!!

👉Это вообще, совсем разное, не надо даже сравнивать. Потому что, колонии у них были очень далеко, за морями и за океанами, тяжелее было им контролировать их, а у вас, можно сказать что было почти рядом, по суше, рядом под носом. Аляску же вы тоже потеряли, а потому что, было далеко, не удобно и не выгодно была её держать и содержать, хотя, она же была не так далеко, почти рядом, но, вы всё же умудрились потерять её. А сейчас сожелеете, что отдали, но в этом вы сами виноваты. А также, несколько остров в Океании принадлежала же России, а где же они, почему вы их потеряли, или вы просто их забыли ? Там, на этих островах не говорят же на русском языке, а вот в европейских колониях говорят на языке колонизаторов, хотя они все находится очень далеко, от Европы, это очень, на много дальше чем Сибирь. Сибирь и всё что есть сегодня у вас, всё это было оккупировано, захвачен вами, где-то мирно, а где-то нет, кровью, или обманом, как и все другие колонии, повсюду у других, так же и происходило. Вам просто очень повезло, а им меньше, или вообще не повезло. Вам повезло в том что вы жили на севере, к вам не приходили завоеватели, на вас не нападали они, вы не воевали часто и долго, вы жили мирно, без воин, в достатке и нормально размножались. А по всюду ниже вас, на юге, на востоке и на западе, всегда воевали, разорялись, воевали, уничтожались, воевали, а вы просто спокойно размножались. После нашествия Гунов, многие народы очень сильно пострадали, ослабли, даже те кто ещё недавно были великими и войенственнимы народами. Многие, они ослабли, были, разорены, численность упала и вот в это время приходите вы, с севера и с лёгкостью завоевали многие народы и територии, Сербов, Хорват, Болгар, Чехов, Поляков и т.д, вес Юг, восточной Европы. Сегодня, уже в этих странах начинают вспоминать, кем были их реальные древние предки, Болгары, Сербы, Хорваты, Поляки и многие другие народы, начинают возвращаться к своим истокам, вспоминают своих истинных предков. Они же все были не славяне, ассимилированы и вот это они уже говорят и вспоминают. Всё что есть у вас сегодня все територии, что вы считаете своими, всё это было в разные времена, вами захвачен, окупированно. Наверно вы скажете что, всё что есть, всё это было всегда вашим, да ? Но, это же всё не правда и всё это для дурачков. На юг вы пришли в 7-8-9 века, в начале вы пришли, на при-дунайские земли, после пошли на Балканы, позже на земли ниненей Украины🔛черноморское побережье, Крым и Кавказ🔛( там же до вашего прихода, на этих огромных землях, от Дуная, до Каспии, господствовали ИраноЯзычные многочисленные племена и народы, Скифов, Сармат и Алан ), там, после Гунской орды, нашествия, они все сильно ослабли и были разорены и вы их потом легко и просто завоевали, а потом вся это огромная масса народов ассимилировались в пришлых с севера и постепенно все они стали Славяно-Язычнимы народами. Наверно и по этому к вам, так не хорошо относятся, так называемые вами, ваши братья славяне, они хорошо знают и помнят какие вы братья и кто вы вообще, они очень хорошо знают, кто они, кем они были, кто их реальные предки, что они не были славянами, до вашего прихода к ним. И в вас тоже, чуть ли не большинстве, не славяне, хот называете вы себя славянами, русскими и название тоже у вас Русь и Русские, не от славян, а от Рокс-Алан, это уже ИраноЯзычные слова, и это уже многими доказано и признано, даже и Росскими историками. Просто вам всем надо больше читать и слушать, не только то что вам подходит, или то что вам нравится, но и другое тоже. И в вас очень много, у кого предки были не славянами, но, позже они стали ими и вы сегодня уже считаете себя истинными славянами. Но, это уже очень трудно вам доказать, а потому что, вы всё это не примите и не признаете. Ну, возьмем для примера, только одну Украину, до прихода туда славян в 8-9 века ( в Киев ), жили там восновном, огромные массы не славянских народов и племён, в большинстве они там были ИраноЯзычные народы. А, куда же они все изчезли, интересно, они что, просто испарились, или улетели в космос, куда же они все могли деться ? Интересно. А, вот никуда они и не изчезли, не испарились и не улетели, они все просто, на просто все ассимилировались и стали Славяно-Язычнимы народами и всё. Умный с этим согласиться, а дурак не поймет. Так же и Урал, Азия, Сибирь, Север, и даже Питер и Москва, никогда не были вашими исконными землями, это всё вами захвачены, в разные времена. В начале до Гунов, долгое время, господствовали на южных землях, только Ирано-Язычные племена и народы Скифов, Сармат и Алан, от Сибри, до Дуная, потом пришли к ним Хуны, после Хазары, а потом и ЧингисХан, а сейчась вы. Так всегда бывает, хозяева приходят и уходят, такова жизнь, всему есть своё время. Я уверен, что вы абсолютно не будете согласны что я здесь написал, но это же не так важно, согласны вы, или нет. А что, от вас можно было ещё что-то другое ожидать, конечно вы будете против, не согласны, но это не имеет вообще никакого значения. Ещё раз повторюсь, это не так важно, согласны вы или нет, главное что всё это правда и вы это даже сами очень хорошо знаете, но, вы это никогда сами не признаете как правду, просто не удобно, а если вам признать, то тогда надо будет всю эту вашу фальшивую и придуманную историю, всё за ново надо будет переписать и это будет не в вашу пользу, изменится не узнаваемо. Ктобы, чтобы не говорил, но, всё что я написал, всё это абсолютная правда !.

@@user-yb2zz5of8w I will not argue with you, because it is useless to argue with a tree. Better answer what really interests me: why did you spend a lot of your time writing such a large text?

@@vladimirnikolskiy . Here, one dissatisfied has already appeared, and where all the others are, I wonder. And, you don’t have to argue, it won’t work, the truth, you won’t argue, no matter what you say here. All this will not be serious at all, And at the expense of my time, you do not worry at all, I have enough of it. Yes, you'd better show me your evidence than tell me something, if you have it? Come on, write, I'm waiting for you to say. Interesting.

@@user-yb2zz5of8w Which makes you think that I am dissatisfied with something, I just don't give a damn about what you wrote. I understand that you are a boring, lonely person who lacks communication and you want to have some fun in such an extravagant way? Not at my expense, troll!

@@vladimirnikolskiy. Here, one dissatisfied has already appeared, but where are all the others, I wonder? And, you don’t need to argue, it will not work, the truth, you can’t argue that you don’t write here. All this will not be serious and not in your favor. And at the expense of my time, you do not worry at all, I have enough of it, more than necessary. Yes, you'd better show me your proofs, proofs, facts, than point me to something here. If you have them, prove it? Come on, write, I'm already waiting for what you can tell me. I already know, absolutely everything that you want to write to me. You will repudiate everything, be indignant. So, let's write yours, prove that you're right? And, although, everything that I wrote, all this is recognized and recognized throughout the world, teaching, historians. But, just not in Russia, they are all hushed up and hidden there. Why, but because everything that you learn at school, university, write and speak on TV, all this is not true. But all modern historical science says what I wrote, or rather, I wrote, what they recognize and say. So all you know is all beautiful, glorious and interesting lies. But, now, if, say, in Russia all this is recognized, then it will be necessary to rewrite the entire history of Russia, remove all unnecessary things that have been piled up from the 18-19 centuries, and then everything will not be as you know, as you were taught. But, you still tell me what and what you think, I'm very interested, write.

Those weren't russians, but the population of Rus of Kiev. I hope everyone realise that Rus of Kiev and Russia are completely different countries, with different everithing!!!! Now i realise why all the Americans mix up Russia and Ukraine, thinking that they have all the history, language, culture, ethnic groups in common. Spoiler- they DON'T!!!!!!!!!!

@@sofiyamyronyuk1443 The term Kievan Rus' was coined in the 19th century in Russian historiography to refer to the period when the centre was in Kiev. Dont confuse it with Ukraine.

@@yastyman the term was coined in X century in Kievan Rus itself Get yourself informed, please

@@sofiyamyronyuk1443 So i did, from English wiki The term Kievan Rus' (Russian: Ки́евская Русь, romanized: Kiyevskaya Rus) was coined in the 19th century in Russian historiography to refer to the period when the centre was in Kiev.[20] In English, the term was introduced in the early 20th century, when it was found in the 1913 English translation of Vasily Klyuchevsky's A History of Russia,[21] to distinguish the early polity from successor states, which were also named Rus. Later, the Russian term was rendered into Belarusian: Кіеўская Русь, romanized: Kiyewskaya Rus’ or Kijeŭskaja Ruś, Rusyn: Київска Русь, romanized: Kyïvska Rus′, and Ukrainian: Ки́ївська Русь, romanized: Kyivska Rus, respectively. where do you get info about X century?

> much more influential Yet it always tried to separate itself as much as possible from both the Muscovites and the Kievljans, basically being for the most part a "free city" (or polis, you name it)

you know your history

Russia didn't conquer Kiev. Its like Russia attacked to Russia. Kiev was capital of rus - ancient country renamed to Russia.

arty Actually, Oleg came to Kiev, killed Askold and Dir in 882, laying claim on Kiev and the throne there. The word "Russia" didn't exist at that time, so we can say the city of Novgorod conquered Kiev in 882. Both were Slavic, true.

@Croatia Folk Tales no. Rus' formed by slavs. 1-st leader of Rus' is Rurik, he scandinavian. Ukrainians is people, who leave near border. This word happened from russian " у края", what means " near the edge". Slavic people, who live near border named the Ukrainians (ykrainci on russian) until 16 century. Before 16 century Ukrainians didn't exist, but named Cossacks. Cossacks is armoured people with weapon, who valuntery live near border and defend her. Russians didn't have army before 15 century, only civillians with weapon. In 15-17 centuries russian army was very supply and light. Only 5 000 russian soldiers and 70 000 polish soldiers. Poles occupied Moscow. Moscow was in occupation for 3 years , and rebels comed. They destroyed polish forces. Russian civil people stronger than army. Example : great fatherland war. In west this war named great patriotic war. (1941-45).

All sources which claim Russia's origins from Kyiv are not valid. Suzdal 12 century, then Moscovia, influenced by Mongols, in short. True descendant of Rus' was Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Ask Pole, Belarusian, or some people from Baltic States if not believe Ukrainian. This video is only Russian folk history, which it successfully presented to world.
