A Brief History Of Ukraine (And Why Russia Wants To Control It)
In this animated video, historian Matt Lewis tells the story of Ukraine's turbulent and often surprising history. Beginning over a thousand years ago with the formation of the Kyivan Rus state, Matt tracks the development of Ukraine during the Mongol invasions, its incorporation into the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth, and eventually it's allegiance with the tsars of a newly formed Russia.
The ongoing crisis in relations between Russia and Ukraine is threatening to engulf eastern Europe in a war on a scale not seen since 1945. The eyes of the world are focussed on the military activity as politicians scramble to encourage a diplomatic solution that will deescalate the conflict.
Ukraine was known as the breadbasket of Soviet Russia. It remains politically, militarily, and economically important to Russia today. Precisely why there is a dispute over the sovereignty or otherwise of Ukraine is a complex question rooted in the region’s history. It is a story more than a thousand years in the making. For much of this story, Ukraine did not
exist, at least not as an independent, sovereign state, so the name Ukraine will be used to help identify the region around Kyiv that was so central to the story. The Crimea is an important part of the story too and its history forms a part of the history of the relationship between Russia and Ukraine.

In this video there aren't mentioned such vital points of Ukraine's history as the principality of Halych-Volyn, the emerge of Cossacks and their uprisings (which didn't have joining Russia as their main goal), the Cossack Hetmanate and Zaporozhian Sich. It wouldn't be so difficult to tell about that. However, a part of video is dedicated to the Crimean War, which relates to Russia's history, not that of Ukraine. Ukraine itself didn't fight the Crimean War, the Russian Empire did. I understand this is called 'brief history' but 'brief' doesn't mean 'inaccurate' or 'partial'.

There was no independent Ukraine back then, so how else can you relate. History of Ukraine is history of Russia, even if you don't like it. Even the name comes from the word "outskirts", which implies it was the border region.

@@doktorkoka So, I see you are claiming you can relate more than me? First of all, the history of Ukraine is the history of the free people of Ukraine, it belongs primarily to them. We inhabit this land for centuries, so we own it. Everything that has been done by our ancestors on their (and our) land is our history. It's quite simple. And we know our history. However, we don't arrogate neighboring countries' history. People must know what is theirs and what belongs to others. Ignorance causes historical delusions and wars. Concerning the word 'Ukraine'. The fact that it sounds similar to a Russian word 'outskirts' ('okraina') is not a linguistical or historiografical evidence of its meaning. The language was quite different in times when the word 'Ukraine' emerged. Initially, it was used to describe different lands of Rus bordering with other non-Rus territories. I haven't heard people using the word 'outskirts' to call any land that has an external border but I don't reject the fact that such border territories could have a specific term. Also, the word 'ukraina'/'ukrayna' was frequently synonymous to the word 'land' in different historical documents. In historical letters of the Cossack period, besides the word 'Ukraina' itself, the expression 'Ukraine of Little Rus' ('Ukrayna Malorossiyskaya') is used. Thus, it meant literally 'the land of Little Rus', not 'the outskirts of Little Rus'. The word 'Ukrayna' was used then as a name of the country and had nothing to do with 'outskirts'. If we even try to judge about the word 'Ukraine' through modern languages, I can mention some very similar words from Slavic languages. Here you go: UA: країна - country BY: краіна - country SK: krajina - country CZ: krajina - land PL: kraina - land SI: pokrajina - landscape ... and there is 'окраина', which corresponds to 'outskirts' in Russian. Only in Russian. I think it's clear now.

@@kostiamarich but no one takes your land, the problem is the government, you can still be proud of your history and ancestors even being included in other state. Real Ukraine (I mean historically) and the territories that belong to the state now are totally different territories. It's a complex thing, and the border between two countries shows nothing but the borders. Historically most people living in modern Ukraine are russian people, as were cossacks, I believe they called themselves russian.

@@doktorkoka Firstly. It's not true that no one takes our land. I can't get to many places in Ukraine where I was before because these places are now invaded by Russia. I can't see my acquaintances there due to the same reason. Don't pretend you have no clue what's going on. Russia is the biggest country in the world. So I genuinely cannot understand: why is Russia so obsessed with gaining new territories? Secondly. It is very ignorant to say people in Ukraine are actually Russians. Actually, it offends me but I see you believe in your words sincerely. Ukrainians in the past called themselves with different names, such as 'ukrainskiy narod', 'rus'kiy narod', 'ukrainskie malorossiyane', 'savromaty', 'kozakorussy', 'kozaki', 'rusyny' and many other. The Ukrainians are East Slavs, so they are heritors of Slavic tribes of Southern and Western Rus as well as of nomadic tribes of the steppe (but not so much). We have our own unique gene pool which differs from that of Russia (containing more Finnic and Central Asian elements) and Belarus (sharing more common with Baltic peoples). We have our own language, folklore, political traditions, national heroes and the most important - national self-consciousness that has been existing for centuries. It didn't emerged once independent Ukraine appeared on the map. Ukrainians have always known they are not the same as Russians, even if it's obvious we share some similarities and the common source - Kyivan Rus. You just have to accept that history is moving. We don't want to fight with anybody but we have to because someone always doesn't like our existence as a separate independent nation. But we are so. You don't speak Ukrainian, you don't know Ukrainian folk songs, you haven't read Ukrainian literature, you know not much about Ukrainian mentality, you probably haven't been to Ukraine. But this is ours, and it's not Russian. If we are East Slavs too and our ancestors had a similar ethnonym deriving from the word Rus, it doesn't mean we don't exist but only you do. Just accept that and stop looking for a trick.

@@kostiamarich Why, I accept your existence and respect your independence as a person. It's just that state is not the real face of the nation. Ukraine as a state has little to do with real ukrainian people, same as Russian Federation is not russian people. Politicians always use people. Same as inquisition was not the true face of christianity. Speaking of that you can't visit many regions (and there are much worse problems) - it's fucking sad, man, I feel for you. Still, it's not the territory expansion war, it's a result of an obvious american plot. No western country is saving Ukraine with those weapons and "help", they're choking the country and people in it's blood, feeding the war. RF won't stop even if they drawn own people in blood. I wish the government could just yield and let RF put it's own people in charge, so no blood would be shed, but the situation wouldn't appear in first place (I mean the war) if they were not american puppets already. The war is a desperate move, and it was provoked by the american (and british) deep state, same as other slavic conflicts. As if everyone forgot already. I'm aching for everyone who have to fight though they never wanted violence, regardless of their beliefs or nation and side in the conflict. Both sides are sending people to die for their interests, and the people is the lamb. This is mad.

I learned just this year that I have Ukrainian in my history and culture. I am 64 years old. my 87 y o dad emailed me a map of farmland showing 1 plat of farm land to have our last name. It had something to do with Czar Katerina offering farmland to German settlers. I was told since my earliest days that I and my 4 siblings were 100% German. Apparently when a folllowing czar kicked them off the land, they came to the United States. My fa, landed in S Dakota. Im trying to learn more about the post- Roman, pre-Christian Germanic/ medieval history of my German culture.

(became a part of Holly Roman Empire). And in the Middle Ages they were already Christian for about 900 years. So what post-Roman pre-Christian thing are you looking for?

My mom was born on a Sioux Indian reservation in Timberlake S.D. on land the US govt gave to my grandparents who were from Russia, near Odessa. My grandparents left Russia not from pressure from the Russian government but because the lands the Russian govt. (Catherine the Great) gave German immigrants like my grandparents' ancestors had become scarce through consolidation of ownership over the course of a century, so by 1900 there was no place left for my grandparents to settle for themselves. In addition, the Tsar at the time wanted to draft my grandfather and his brothers into the Russian army to fight a war against Japan; another reason to leave. My family originated in Strassburg, Alsace before emigrating to Russia, and they still spoke German at home even with my mother's generation.

Outstanding summary of Ukrainian history, very informative. The one thing I have to take exception to is your statement about U.S./Cuba relations in 1960s being similar to the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. I have a hard time seeing a parallel between the relationship the United States held with Cuba in the mid-twentieth century and the relationship Moscow has, and always had, with Ukraine; Even the Cuban nuclear missile crisis in 1963 is very different from the atomic retaliation Putin is wildly threatening week to week currently as Ukrainian military forces continue to stomp Putin’s army invaders location within Ukrainian borders. Other than perhaps a desired tourist destination and source of fine cigars and some sugar imports, Cuba had nothing the United States envied from that Island nation. Whereas Russia looks greedily at Ukraine and it’s potential “bread basket” status. Regarding the “buffer state” argument, by 1963, the U.S. was resigned resigned to accept Cuba as a communist neighbor. It was only the insertion of Soviet atomic rockets pointed at the United States that was an unacceptable fact and was the point of the crisis at the time. On the hand, Moscow has never accepted an fully independent Ukraine as a non-buffer nation and is currently demonstrating their disapproval of this status currently by their gross act of hegemony on-going today by Russia against Ukraine.

It wasn't an intentional starvation, the exact same famine occurred in all of the central agricultural regions of the Soviet Union, at that time. It came as the cumulative result of years of civil war and political infighting, economic turmoil (widespread across all of Europe at the time as well) and enforced collectivisation of grain by the Soviet authorities, in order to help maximise exports and get the money needed to build Soviet industry, according to the Five Year Plan. Perhaps you're not aware of this fact, and it is actually one of the biggest errors and misconceptions of the public in general, who assume a famine only existed in present day Ukraine.

The problem is that this division is useful and invented by Anglos. And Look at Anglos: they never divided them selves. Even India still has a formal alliance with UK. Even US is working hand to hand with Britain. That’s why they are so powerful. UNION. That’s why China is so powerful. UNION. That’s why Russia WAS so powerful before Anglos put his shit. And that’s why they push division (search the Independence “heroes” en Latin America against Spanish Empire and search who support the black legend in America against Spain. Spoiler: Anglos). Slavic people has to do the same as panarabs: UNION. PanSlavism is what Russia government seek and that looks a good idea if you don’t want to be divided and be de dog of Anglos. If not, Russia soon will be divided and dominated by Anglos like is Latinamerica right now.

@@rodoespinosa4680 Anglos never divided themselves? Are you kidding? Did we just imagine the War of Independence? The fact that we still cooperate does not make us a single nation. The Anglos are Germanic (in case you didn't know). We still cooperate with Germany and France much of the time but the Germanic tribes that founded these SEPARATE nations went their SEPARATE ways a long time ago (following the decline of Rome). I imagine a lot of Ukrainians are more than willing to cooperate with their Russian cousins. They just don't want to be their pets. They don't want to be Russian. Just like Americans don't want to be Brits. They want to do things a bit differently. And good for them. Oh, and as far as we know, the Anglos (as you call us) were actually mostly Saxons (a closely related but SEPARATE Germanic tribe that had DIVIDED even further back in time). But that's an even longer story of separate nation building.

No, it is missing important facts and there are some false information's like the whole today Ukraine was incorporated into the USSR since 1917. It was not, the west part was taken by Poland which created Banderities (it was anti-Polish movement and not anti-Russian as there were no Russians there). This and centuries of western Ukraine being not part of Russia led into the big split of West vs East Ukraine. This split was reason for the Donbas & Luhansk rebellion against western Banderities in 2014 because they do not understand why Banderities are so xenophobic to Russians. There is no mention that the Ukraine border after WW1 were different than now - right-wing Ukraine (Banderities) consider Poland and Belarus as illegal occupiers of part of their territory and have territorial claims against them. The Donetsk was not part of the Ukraine in 1918 but incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR by USSR. There is no mention that Crimea was never of Ukraine and wanted to proclaim independence 3 times since fall of USSR - in 1992, 1994 and 2014. However, every time the Ukraine blackmailed them with military pacification so the third time, they were forced to join Russia to avoid bloodbath like in Donbass. TL;DR - Ukraine was like former Yugoslavia, being in fact a joined state of 3 different nations formed by centuries (West Ukraine, Eastern Ukraine, Crimea).

Andrew - this didn’t help you to understand the history of Ukraine. This video is shockingly inaccurate and skips centuries of history relevant to todays Russian war on Ukraine. Starting with maps, through to false information about Cossack’s uprisings.. Those were never to join Muscovy (called here Russia) although the last uprising had - only partially - such result. Uprisings were to gain recognition of Kossack aristocracy - as equal to the one of Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth - and within it, and to stop Catholicism spreading and being privileged in their lands. After multiple uprisings - Chmielnicky (Kossack leader) asked Muscovites (Russians) for help - what ended with partition of Ukrainian lands between PL-LIT Commonwealth and Russia. That partition has consequences till this day - in what language people speak, and also up until recent Russian invasion - the level of self identity as Ukrainians - being strong where Commonwealth once stood, and not so in the east of the country. The previous division is still visible for example in nova days electoral results. The video instead talks a lot about Crimean war - which may be important to UK coz of its involvement but far less for understanding Ukraine..

Wasn't there 2 main rivals in the modern Ukrainian/Belarusian/Russian territories during the Viking age period? The Duchy/kingdom of Novgorod (Modern St. Petersburg) and the Duchy/Kingdom of Kiev? Both were founded by Swedish vikings when some decided to settle in these Slavic lands. You had ofcourse other smaller duchies/kingdoms like Moscow and others, but they were insignificant compared to these other 2 duchies/kingdoms at that time? Why wasn't that mentioned in this video and covered? From what I learn and understood, the novgorod/kiev rivalty conflict could be compared with the northern Egyptian kingdom vs the southern Egyptian kingdom in ancient times. Sometimes the other were more powerful than the other, sometimes they were separated as 2 individual entities and sometimes unified as one grand duchy/kingdom. I might be wrong about this, if anybody has more deeper knowledge about this, then let me know!

Basically, no. The rivalry was there but it was rather soft. Novgorod was the first capital until Rurik (the first ruler of Rus) died, then the capital was moved to Kiev and that was it. After the fracturing of Rus into several duchies (100 years before the Mongol invasion) there of course was rivalry between all of them, including Kiev and Novgorod.

I agree whole hearted. I have to admit that i strayed from the topic in a impressive way 😇 The only place in the world that have better soil than Ucraine is the furthermost part of Sweden (here). The Swedish 10+ lands is however tiny compared to the Ucrainian lands. In the 19'th century, Sweden built railway tracks and stations allover this land and nowadays (i was against it 😇) we build windmills on everything that doesn't have outdated railway tracks. This fact might be outdated but (last i heard, about a year ago) Sweden had 4850 active windmills. We have loads of hydro from northern Sweden, nuclear from the middle of Sweden and wind/sun from everywhere. I have a "environmentally friendly" energy subscription (not what i hoped for but we all know how voting function in a household). Looking at my energy bills i (shockingly 🤡) learn that i had 0,0% of my energy usage from sunpower and between 0,8 and 2,0% from wind. This is obviously simplified numbers but the 98-99% of my needs is actually satisfied by hydro from the far north of Sweden. To transport energy cost energy (that's how a radiator functions). Somewhat overkill statistics but an undisputable fact--> during WWII, Germany used four times as mush fuel to transport fuel, as they used to wage war (that Germany used coal to create the power needed to make gasoline from coal isn't something that the Greens mention every day 😨) Spend 4 $, €, ¥, dog turds, something to get 1 in return.

About Ukraine: nation created in Lenin's time (not to be confused with the history of the city of Kiev and/or with Kievan Rus & its Rurik dynasty started by Prince Rurik of Novgorod; Novgorod is an ancient Russian city), but only theoretical/administrative terms, since it remained under Russian control in the Soviet era, the conformation of its territory today consists mainly of territories that have historically belonged to the Russians (from the center to the eastern and southern side) and the western side has historically belonged to Poland. Important issue about Poland: the h4tred of the Poles towards the Russians is immense and it is they who have partly influenced the western part of Ukraine, this h4tred is historical, since Poland and Russia have had multiple w4rs for several centuries, even the Poles invaded Moscow at some point and were driven out by the Russians (look for the monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow's Red Square). Now if you add this historical h4tred towards Russia with Neo-Naz1 elements (in western Ukraine) that by default relate Russia to the greatest enemy of the Naz1s, that is, the Soviets, who ended up destroying their beloved H1tler, you will have a gigantic anti-Russian national1sm, which the United States has been able to use as a geopolit1cal tool against the Russ1ans. On the current crisis: The people of Donbass are ethnic Russians and they did not support the 2014 coup, as those who took control of Kiev (with US backing) are openly xenophob1c against the Russians, they even banned the Russian language in Ukraine, which is the native language of the people living in Donbass. Ethnic Russians have lived in Donbass for several centuries, so at the moment they are defending their families and the lands where they have lived for many generations. People living in Donbass voted in a referendum to gain more autonomy and stay inside Ukraine, the latter being important as it shows that the Western narrative that the Donbass conflict was started by "pro-Russian separat1sts" is not is so true and this was part of the typical western pr0paganda to confuse the world about reality and adapt everything to the western narrative of "it's Russia's fault", I repeat "the people of Donbass did not vote for independence from Ukraine and/or to join Russia, they voted to have more autonomy within Ukraine", in fact this is the basis of the famous Minsk agreements that Kiev and the West refuse to implement (accusing Russia of not complying with them, when Russia does not has obligations in the agreement), and it has to be repeated that the people of Donbass wanted this because they simply never accepted the 2014 coup, which brought to power people who h4te ethnic Russians. The Ukrainian army launched an 4ttack on these regions in 2014, moving its entire 4rsenal against the civilians of Donbass, this topic is important since the w4r takes place in the lands of Donbass, therefore civilian v1ctims are always the civilians who live in the Donbass (usually the Western media always interviews Ukrainian civilians living in regions that do not suff3r the real consequences of these w4rs), the people of Donbass won practically all the b4ttles, there were a lot of material on youtube about these b4ttles, where they showed civilians f1ghting aga1nst the Ukrainian army, but youtube has cens0red almost everything. These victories should not really surprise us too much, since the people of Donbass were defend1ng their homes against people who h4te Russians (their ethn1city), any of us would fight with full force if you see that your family is thre4tened by crazy rac1sts that h4te your friends and family, today after all the 4ttacks they have received by Kiev, if they hold a new referendum it is very sure that they will vote to join Russia, they have already seen the true face of the Westerners and of those they control Kiev today. It is true that Russ1a supports those Russ1ans who live in Donbass, in fact it has more right to do so than the illegal military presence of the Y4nkees in northern Syr1a ("support1ng" the K*rds and steal1ng Syrian oil along the way), the inhabitants from Donbass are ethn1c Russ1ans, they are in lands close to the Russ1an border (secur1ty issue), they have an obvious connection with Russ1an culture and above all they share many family members with Russ1ans, for this reason after 2014 many residents of Donbass have obtained a Russian p4ssport (Russian citizensh1p).

You offer a useful and important correction - that there was an internal struggle in Ukraine about whether or not to join the USSR - then undermine yourself by saying something that is a historical distortion - that they were "puppets of Russia." Once Ukraine joined the USSR, it was by no means a "puppet", it was quite a formidable and integral part of the USSR. Yes, autocratic rule from Moscow undermined the agency of soviet republics, particularly under Stalin. However, people easily forget that there were powerful bureocratic and governmental institutions in place within the USSR through which could be used to assert pressure on Moscow - not democratic pressure, but pressure nonetheless. In that sense, the Soviet Republic of Ukraine was a force to be reckoned with in Moscow. I recommend that you separate your political views from your grasp of history. Ideology tends to just distort history and keep you from really seeing things clearly. (Just a tip from a friendly historian.) Ukraine's relationship with Russia is extremely complex. It is a messy history, at the very least. But even if Ukrainians were wholly "Russian" (as Putin claims, citing the fascist philosopher Ilyin and others), it would not justify his recent attempt to invade and overthrow the democratically-elected Kiev government.

@@markeedeep "Anti-communist" is a loaded and imprecise word for the contingency you are referring to in the civil war that came after the Russian Revolution. The term "anti-communist" is from the Cold War and implies opposition to nation states run by totalitarian communist regimes like Maoist China or the USSR. For the Russian civil war, it is more accurate to use their own terms. "The Whites" opposed "the Reds." Or, "Anti-Bolshevik." Ideologically, the Whites were actually a loosely banded together group of Russians from all varieties of political orientations - monachists, republicans, conservatives, classic liberals, and even former Menshavik social democrats.

That's what many including Russia itself thought when they tried to take the capital of Ukraine. The failure to overthrow the Ukranian gov't in quick succession has proven the Russian military incompetent of such a feat. It's interesting people scrutinize Ukraine (a sovereign nation with its own free will) for improving relations with NATO when Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea before any of the current events even went down. If Russia can take Crimea under the context that the people there speak Russian, then the U.S might as well hand Texas to Mexico with all the Spanish speakers there. The Ukranian people have their own culture, they are their own people, Russia DOES NOT have the right to claim its land and its identity. There's a reason the Ukranian people overthrew their pro-Russian president at that time with protests and riots! Aside from the political leaders in the pro Russian areas in Ukraine, I would not look pass the idea that the regular people there could've cared less about calling themselves a part of Russia instead of Ukraine too. What precedent does it set when a larger country can just start taking land from a smaller? You don't consider invading another country and taking their land as poking? Ukraine was willing to negotiate and dissolve entertaining NATO but guess what Putin chose to do? Invade the entire country under false nonfactual basis of "De-nazifying"" the country with ZERO concrete evidence to back up that claim. Innocent people dead from both sides, women and children raped and murdered. It's honestly sad what the state of the world is in. Russia did have a choice, look at the Cuban missile crises. Cuba had Russian military bases on it for years after that incident...did the U.S invade it? no, and things have been working out well for both countries peace wise with Cuba's sovereignty being respected. Are you saying the U.S would've been justified to invade Cuba and call it a U.S state when Russia first had placed a military base there? I doubt you would be saying that.

@@bradleywelch9290 Everything you write would look like the truth if Ukraine were a mono-ethnic state and the entire territory would be inhabited by one people - Ukrainians, but the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine are historically and ethnically Russian territories, which, after the October Revolution of 1917, the Bolshevik leader Lenin irresponsibly included in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic with a simple stroke of the pen. Naturally, nobody asked the peoples' consent to this and no referendums were held. All subsequent referendums on the preservation of the USSR (citizens overwhelmingly approved the preservation of the country), followed 2 years later by a referendum on the independence of individual republics, did not give the people an understanding of the prospects for economic and political separation, which was manipulatively lobbied by the national elites of the republics. All peoples in the USSR lived in friendship and a false sense of its inviolability in the future, and therefore did not attach much importance to such political acts. This is how modern Ukraine was hastily tailored. The corrupt political elite, in fact the bandits and feudal lords of Ukraine, have brought the country with their venality to the point that it has become a tasty morsel for international political, financial and economic intriguers. We are now reaping the fruits of this betrayal.

@@bradleywelch9290 "Even before the war in the Donbass began many years ago, Russia did not at all claim that these territories were part of Russia" You answered yourself that "why did Russia come to Ukraine and put everything in order." The reason is that the western part of Ukraine excluded the connection of the eastern side. And they decided to build such regions as Donbas and Crimea. Crimea did not work out because the Russian fleet was there. But the Donbass began to destroy and, unlike Serbian Kosovo, neither the Western "enlightened" countries, nor NATO considered that this was a war crime. And silently (probably rejoicing at this) they watched what Russia would do? They laughed at the negotiation process, began to wind up sanctions. Perhaps it was already then a plan to start a world third in order to destroy Russia?

To me, it seems that Russia wants to claim the culture of Ukraine even as they are destroying it. Russian culture, today, seems like the culture of Stalin.. Putin's recent seizure of Ukrainian grain seems no less horrific than Stalin's Holodomor of 1932-1933. What Russia is doing is war crimes and genocide.

Throughout its history, Ukraine was at the intersection of civilizations and cultures: the Western world (Poland, Austria, Hungary), the Eastern world (Mongols, Tatars, Russia) and the Muslim world (Crimean Tatars and Turks). Ukraine has lost its independence many times due to agreements between the Eastern and Western worlds (Perpetual Peace between the Muscovite Kingdom and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1686, the Peace of Riga between the Soviet Union and the Republic of Poland in 1921) on the aggressive division of the territory of Ukraine between them.

Hundreds of people who fled from Mariupol are screaming that Azov (who is acting on the orders of that same Zelensky) bombed and burned their houses, killed and tortured people. People truly hate him! Mutilated bodies of women with German fascist swastikas were found in bomb shelters! Azov, under the pretext of organizing green corridors, led people to be shot. Children, women, old people ... Russians, unarmed military prisoners on camera, were shot at the legs and their throats were cut! In Bucha, people were killed when Russian troops left from there! And they killed people with white bandages on their hands (a sign of civilians). And all this is video and photo evidence. You will never be shown this ... And the Russian people are crying! Weeps from the fact that we have always been taught that Ukraine and Russia are brothers. And in Ukraine there are people who love and want to go to Russia! We will gladly accept them! But this cannot be forgiven! Please wake up! You can not look at the situation only from one side! 😭😭😭

"Cozaks... rebelled in favour of Russia". For one, "Russia" did not exist at that time. Russia got it's name "Russia" only in 1721. And two, no, you are factually wrong. Ukrainian cozaks wanted to be independent and fought dozens of battles against Moscow. It's only in the middle of 17th century that Ukrainian cozaks signed alliance with Moscow. A decision that a lot of cozaks did not agree with.

For starters, you're hair-splitting about the names. It is explicitly said at the beginning that MODERN place names are being used to avoid confusion, so who cares if they used "Russia" instead of "Muscovy". Second, the Cossacks lived on the frontiers and depending on which group you're talking about, some were temporarily allied to the Tsars, in an effort to screw over Poland or the Ottomans, others were integrated into the Russian military structure to exert greater control on the regions further east of the Dniper river, near modern-day Kharkiv. It is true that many Cossacks did resent the centralization of authority under the Tsars and fought against it, many more felt a greater affinity towards the Russians due to shared Orthodox traditions, and similarities in language---more so than with Poland and Lithuania.

@@matthewgillies7509 He's correct . Using the name "Russia" for muskovites , creates confusion , gives the impression that Moskow ever ruled Kievan Rus or inherited it's legacy . This is not the truth . By the time Moskow rose from the swamp to bargain with The Horde , Kiewan Rus was already splitted and was history . Moskow rose from under the tartars as an independent city state , not the capital of any Kiewan state . All the rest is conquered , annexed , aggressed etc . This is what characterizes today's wanna be Russians - the permanent aggression towards the neighbouring teritories, people , nations .

@@seaman5705 once again, incorrect. The Kievan Rus were not an unitary political entity, and the Rus/Ruthenian region was politically and military similar to the Italian city states, or the Swiss Cantons, or the contemporary Maya civilization. While there was a "chief" or paramount city for the cultural region, each major polis was ultimately administered separately and according to local custom. As Muscovy was the weakest, they submitted to the Mongols while Novgorod and Kiev did not. Subsequent history resulted in the slow drift of Rus culture into multiple groups, similar to the differences in language and traditions of various regions in China, Italy, and presently the English-speaking regions of the former British Empire. Russia has long claimed the mantle of "Rus" (about 500 years), so there is no inaccuracy or in describing the area as such in the video.

@@matthewgillies7509 I don't know what are you talking about . Kiewan Rus was an unitary political entity from 9th century, under Oleg , till 11th century , under Yaroslav . Then it splitted . Moskow , if I am not mistaken , was first metioned in the 12th century - no connection with Kiewan Rus . Don't really know how it became "grand dutchy" . because in the 14-15th century, was just a fortified village in a swamp - the swamp being the dutchy - no paramount city for the cultural region either . Actually there was no any culture in Moskow or arround it by that time - they where kind of savage swamp ogres like Shrek and they remained savage barbarians for another few hundred years . There was no swift of Kiewan culture towards Moskow , but culture was asimilated and adopted with the conquering of teritories by this savage swamp people . Yes , some Rurikids moved to Moskow , but they ended in the blood bath of the swamp people . The swamp people , much like today , where not even slavic, but more finic , or balto-finic . See russian DNA today - finic and mongol more than slavic . So there seems to be a propagated lie about the origins of today's Russia .

@@seaman5705 pardon if I listen to the expertise of Ukrainian with a PhD on the subject matter, over some random person online who takes exception to name place simplifications for a general audience. The Rus were not a singular entity, and the strength of one Prince to subjugate his rivals does not translate into a unitary political system, particularly when multiple cities were Republics.
