WHY IS VLADIVOSTOK RUSSIAN? || RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR 

VLADIVOSTOK CITY LIGHTS STREET MAP: geoperspective.org/product/vladivostok-golden-street-lights-map-home-decor/ thank you for considering to support my content :) alternatively binge another video: Yekaterinburg: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jozY9J2jFK8.html

I will be going back to Siberia in April 2023, and plan on visiting Vladivostok, and then heading more north on the Road of Bones P-504 to Yakutsk, Oymyakon and Magadan. Great content as always, and excited for your next video.

Vladivostok has nothing to do with Japan as the title suggest. Even during the Russo-Japanese war, Vladivostok was left untouched

you tiptoed around the debates around that area's history very well! thanks for another video

In July 1918, the United States, France and Great Britain asked the Japanese government to take part in a joint intervention in Siberia. The US has proposed that each ally send 7,000 soldiers. The Tokyo military headquarters developed ambitious plans for a military expedition to Siberia, and also persuaded China to agree to Japanese intervention in Northern Manchuria. Instead of 7 thousand soldiers, Japan sent 12 thousand, a naval squadron and military aircraft for Vladivostok. Within a few months, Japan increased the number of troops to more than 75 thousand. a man, and advanced along the Siberian Railway to the Trans-Baikal region between Amur and Baikal. At the end of the First World War, in November 1918, Japanese soldiers occupied all harbors and major cities in Russia and in Primorye and Eastern Siberia. if you started telling, then tell everything and don't jump like a flea. You didn't tell a lot of facts, you hid them, and some of them turned over. You also say that Russia dropped nuclear bombs on Japan in 1945. Your story does not mention the full role of the US and European countries in Vladivostok until 1922 !

The original name of Vladivostok was ‘Haishenwai’ before the Russians was there.

Small correction The Kurils were inhabited by Ainu people who were completely different from Japanese and heavily persecuted under Japanese occupation in 1800s until 1945.

Just a note, video at 7:52 to 7:59 is not of Japanese forces in 1905, but Chinese KMT forces (under Chiang Kai-Shek, also shown in footage) in the late 1930's.

Too great to be underrated

Again, another bad take on history on your part. The reason Japan didn't strike at the USSR was because they were already beat by the Soviets during the Battle of Khalkin Gol. They tried to take advantage of the Soviet regime not being well-established yet, but it backfired on them in 1938. They signed a treaty with Joseph Stalin that in case of a war in Europe, Japan wouldn't attack the USSR and the Japanese honored it. In fact, it was Joseph Stalin who broke this peace agreement with Japan by declaring war on the in 1945 to take over Manchuria, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.

This video and the one about Khabarovsk are great documents about the Russian Far East. Can you also make a video about Yuzhno-Sahalinsk, the city with Japanese influence ?

A large part of the information is incorrect. Some of them are just assumptions some of them are completely wrong. You should do your research before teaching others.

Am surprised you didn't mention the Soviet-Japanese border conflicts of the 1930's.

This is one of the best historical mini documentary of Russia's far east. Amazing work

Thank you, great video. And yes you were right, almost all cars that were imported to Vladivostok before 2020 were cut in half and then welded back together to avoid paying import taxes. Now as far as I know its no longer legal

Great job! I like this content!

I'm visiting Vladivostok at the end of year.My gf is from the city..😊

Nice job especially historical content! Hope to visit there in a few years! Thx Jim USA

Considering the current state of San Francisco with its homeless problem and large crime problem it is probably better if Vladivostok does not seek to emulate San Francisco or any other US city in current times.

Широка страна моя родная Много в ней лесов, полей и рек Я другой такой страны не знаю, Где так вольно дышит человек

Vladivostok was always a strategic port of Far Orient. We can consider it the "third capital" of Russia after Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Why nothing about the battle on Khalkin Gol which was also called as the second Russo-Japanese war? Total humiliation of Japanese army (not navy) after which they haven't dared to attack even during ww2.

Great job! Thank you for tag me 😎

Great video! Do one about Smolensk, it is my wonder town :)

Vladivostok has a long way to go? It has among the highest average income among Russian cities and I am willing to bet that the average Russian living in Vladivostok today has similar living standards as people in San Francisco which currently has massive problems with unaffordability, lack of cleanliness, dying middle class, people leaving.

As always a banger of a video!

Brilliant video can you do Voronezh next please

Very informative

I LOVE your wall map. Who makes it, as i've been looking for a large, detailed wall map

love your video. good job . next can you make video about russian city of petropavlovsk-kamchatsky in kamchatka peninsula. that city is lot more far far east than vladivostok. it would be interesting to see. i gladly hit subscribe button

Fantastic, could you please do Ukraine productions also?

Fantastic history and documentary on Valdivostok. Really a great piece. I always belived russia can do more to bring up vladivostok economy that will eventually contribute to the overall economy. I also hoped you would have covered recent russian investment in vladivostok city to develop its infrastructure and local economy but it was not. Can you do a part 2 to cover the recent focus on developing Vladivostok? LIke the new university, the new bridges, the new port building ships up to 100 000 tons or more? and more industries to diversify vladivostok economy? I honestly belive, vladivostok leveraging on its position on the far east end of russia and nearby 3 of the worlds largest economy of china, japan and Korea have the potential to grow to many magnitudes in size and economic development. I believe, Vladivostok has the potential in terms of economy to grow to 3 times as much as it is now. Its just that Korea, or japan or China have their own ulterior reasons for not wanting to invest in vladivostok. Please make a Part 2!

On the topic of occupation of Kuril islands - those were populated mostly by Ainu, natives of Japanese islands who were pushed away to Hokkaido and then almost exterminated by starvation. Japan up to this day treats them as second-rate citizens up to this day and age (because you can easily tell who's Japanese and who's Ainu - the second ones look like a mix of Yakuts and Slavs). The only time they recognize them as equals to Japanese is when they talk about Sakhalin and Kurils. And even when Japan was funding "expedition" to Siberia during Civil War (while supporting White Movement) to exploit resources and try to install Shinto, they didn't miss the chance to remind Ainu "their place". If we skip all the mess the Kuril problem is, it is simply too inhumane to give Japan populated Kuril islands back, not in this century at very least (they've recognized existence of Ainu only in ~~2018). Also, it's not pursuing openness and investing into infrastructure. Connecting Far East to Siberia is hell of a task due to climate of Siberia and just how much territory it is. Japan did invest a lot into Vladivostok and Sakhalin, Russia did try to repopulate the Far-Eastern lands by giving people free land there. It did show some results but those were "decent" at best. With birthrates that never recovered after WW2 and 90s crisis and immense amount land, cancer in form of modern capitalism (look up at birth rates in the most advanced/rich countries), Russia needs to focus on industrial centers (by intentionally making low population towns to move out to somewhere else) and possibly ease a migration policy from China (they're already trying with Africa), but then again, you don't exactly want a Chinese minority turning into something big. I can understand that author is from one of Baltic states or from Ukraine (by accent), but if you're making a documental film - do try to be reasonable. Saying stuff like "oh, just try to improve infrastructure lol" is a total nonsense when you don't say a thing about the context. I did get my bachelors exactly by researching Russian Far-East and Japan and there's NO easy solution to any problem there. The best solution is to somehow make the territory populous, but then again, we're talking about a territory where you can wake up during a summer and see mountains of snow. Isn't exactly the place you wanna live. Once again, letting Chinese to populate those lands is one of solutions, but those guys do have their own ambitions in Siberia (as mentioned in video about the language that was spoken in some parts of Siberia) and having that land hosting ~~10-40 millions of Chinese is like asking them to annex it into Greater China.

Whenever I look at the map of Russia, the first thing I do is go crazy 😂😂

It’s because Russia have annexed former Mongolian territory these include Baykal lake and half of Siberia.

3:30 You can spot the Guayas School Ship, the Ecuadorian Roving Ambassador of the Waves! Must have been 2008!

Посмотрел комментарии которые лайкает автор канала. Мало того, что информация из первых ссылок в гугле, так еще у автора явно какие-то проблемы с головой, как и у тех, кто это комментирует. Выздоравливай п не лезь в историю России, а то мы полезем в историю сша, германии, австралии, британии и так далее по списку. Будет больно и неприятно.

Vladivostok, outter Manchuria and Sakhalin belong to The Far Eastern Asian’s dynasties. Valadivostok was called “Hǎishēnwǎi / 海參崴”under Qing dynasty.

Is it really an "unequal treaty" if the alternative is more open conflict and possible total political and military destruction and possibly 100% direct foreign rule? (For some reason that little strip of land in Southern New Mexico is coming to mind for some reason...)

Anglosaxon race ( US,Britain,France,Germany ,Russia etc ) is imperialist n colonialist. Manchu tribe in outer manchuria region( vladivostok n khabarov region ) already occupied by them.

is there a country that russia didn't go to war with?

yul brynner was born here

Spoke a little too soon on those Kuril Islands...

Two points, WWI was actually very popular with the Russian public. It's only the left-wing factions like the Bolsheviks who were against it. And they were a minority! That's why they took over power by force, they knew they couldn't win the election that was set to happen in December 1917. So they launched their revolution in October 1917. Second, Russia was actually winning in the eastern front of WWI. By all accounts. The war was popular with Russians and they thought they were winning decisively. Even today, it is seen this way in Russia and they mostly see the political infighting that led to the collapse of the Russian government in early 1917 a political disaster to an otherwise successful war.

russia should give that land back to china!

600 000? You have incorrect data. for real there are much more, about 1500000(with immigrants and citizens who not born in city)

i like it

You didn't discuss Russia massacring all the Chinese natives living in Vladivostok to allow Russians to immigrate in.

At around 5:02, before the strike banner fades completely, the text "No support for provisional government" appears for at most a tenth of a second. (And I recall no provisional government in 1904-5; looks like footage from 1917.) May I suggest that you decide what you want to display and display it adequately, and not have these teaser distractions? The same thing happens at 5:06 with "Long live the socialist revolution!!" You introduce the German invasion of Poland that began WWII and follow it immediately with the "Great Patriotic War" that began almost two years later. You do not mention the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact or the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland, the Baltic states, etc. It is fair to say that you gloss over the USSR's share of blame at the beginning of WWII. This silence would not be out of place in a Soviet or Russian schoolbook. The USSR was only against WWII after it went against them and after their complicity had aided the Axis enormously. Your intentions may be entirely innocent, but many viewers will judge otherwise.

Atually the Trans Siberian starts in Hook of Holland.

Why Gibraltar is in UK

Wtf Somalia 5:50

Racist 19th Century cartoons are funny

This city belongs to the great Qing dynasty. And believe me the China has a plane for this city. 🇦🇫🇦🇫🇨🇳🇨🇳❤️

The mighty superpower USSR desintegrated into 15 new states plus Ichkeria(Chechnia). It got rotten inside , no hot war was necessary. Soon, after the onslaugt against Ukraine is over , the land of Orcs will split into six independent states . Normal democratic Russian-speaking countries . Long-live free prosperous USS ! ! ! United States of Siberia . By the way , UK bureucrats and brass hats , back in the XVIII century , mocked at the idea of the USA. Greetings from Lietuva.

kuril islands should be Japanese. Russia will not be forgiven for the Ukraine war crimes.

Vladivostok should be in china and kuril islands in Japan . Freedom to Siberia

I was in Vladivostok, Far East in 1983,This is area Russia,always and forever, but now situation difficult and war on Ukraine and crazy government Putin,military and imperialism political this is very bad and shame!But didn't matter this is area Russian, but Ukraine this is Ukraine, not Russia!Get out from Ukraine!Make free and stop crazy stupid war!

The Chinese want it back

It’s Japan, always will be.

The original name of Vladivostok was ‘Haishenwai’ before the Russians was there.
