"Battle of Alma" - British Patriotic Song

"The Battle of Alma" was written by Corporal John Brown of the Grenadier Guards in Crimea, 1854, sung to the popular tune of the "British Grenadiers". It commemorates the Allied victory at Alma, the first battle of the Crimean War.
Recording from "A Most Desperate Undertaking" Documentary on the Crimean War, 2003.

Interesting fact: The Crimean Tatars began to provide assistance to the Anglo-Franco-Turkish troops from the very beginning of their appearance in Yevpatoria. The Allies landed a fairly large army without a wagon train, which is why they could not advance because they did not have enough horses and wagons. The Crimean Tatars almost immediately provided them with assistance in this matter. Immediately after the landing of the first small detachment in Yevpatoria, British officers saw several hundred horses and 350 Tatar wagons on the pier. Someone warned the Tatars and organized the collection of vehicles in advance. Maybe they were warned by Turkish agents. Then the Crimean Tatars began to drive dozens and hundreds of carts and horses to the area of Yevpatoria every day. Their help eventually managed to turn the situation around and achieve the almost complete defeat of russian troops on the Crimean peninsula. P.s-Greetings to the Crimean Tatars from Tatarstan! I am sure that they will be able to return their homeland. 🟩🟩⬜🟥🟥🖤🟦🟨🟦

@@user-qg4rz6ft9q Всего лишь три вопроса. Когда венгры претендовали на землю московитов? Где эта так называемая "русская земля"? Как это относится к комментарию?

[@LazurIs.]

@@user-qg4rz6ft9q Во первых я к сожалению уже нарушил свой принцип когда позволил московиту говорить с собой(незнаю почему вы так яростно отрицаете своё старое название. Мы Татары никогда не отказывались от своего прошлого этнонима Булгары). Во вторых, ещё как претендовали. Достаточно открыть статью про венгерское восстание 1956 года. В третьих венгры после падения коммунистического режима никогда не пытались силой отобрать земли у своих соседей, пытаясь оказывать дипломатическое влияние на них. В третьих, не долго вам радоваться оккупацией Крыма. Если у вас хватило ума отрезать себя от всего цивилизованного мира ради одного полуострова и нескольких дней "патриотического угара".

Fun fact: the Crimea war started when a group of Ukrainian cossacks attacked the ottoman border in Bessarabia. The ottomans confused it as Russian aggression and declared war, although the background of this event was quite grim in terms of Russo-Ottoman relations and tensions. The cossack band attacks the ottomans as revenge against the Russians for liquidating another Sich, and in the end, as we know, Russia suffered heavy casualties. Well deserved.

@@alexmag342 Ipatiev Chronicles 12th century “About him Ukraine weeped plenty” ""Rus in a narrow meaning"" 3 - Arseny Nikolaevich Nasonov. (1) “Russian land” and the formation of the territory of the ancient Russian state. M., 1951. The territorial limits of the most ancient chronicle “Russian land” (or “Rus”, understood in the territorial sense) are approximately restored. “Russian land” lies on both sides of the Dnieper: “and the Russian land was divided along the Dnieper: Yaroslav took this side, and Mstislav took it,” and Mstislav sat in Chernigov before, as can be seen from the news of 1024, and wanted to make Chernigov the center "Russian land". The Chernigov region was called “Rus” in Kyiv in the 12th century, as can be seen from the story of the Ipatiev Chronicle under 1147: “he came from Rus' to Dtsky, and told him Volodymyr to Chernigov”, and Izyaslav to Starodub”; The Chernigov region was called “Rus” both in the northeast (Lavr, l., 1175) and in Novgorod (Novg. 1st l., 1180). In the same way, Pereyaslavl-Russian was called “Rus” both in the south (Ipat. l., 1178), and in the northeast (Laurel l., 1195) and in Novgorod (Novg. 1st l. ., 1132). Novgorod was not called either “Rus” or “Russian land” in the south (Ipat. l., 1141 and 1178), and also, as is clear from the 1st Novgorod Chronicle, in Novgorod itself. The Rostov-Suzdal land, as well as Ryazan, are also contrasted with “Rus” both in the southern and northeastern chronicles (Ipat. l., 1154, 1175, 1177, Laurel l., 1175, etc.) ; Smolensk was not considered either “Rus”, as can be seen from the message of the Ipatiev Chronicle under 1155 and 1197, or “Russian land” (Ipat. l., 1174). In the Laurentian Chronicle, under 1202, Galich and Vladimir-Volynsky are contrasted with the “Russian Land,” and in the Ipatiev Chronicle, under 1174, Berlad. Likewise, it was not believed that the Polotsk “region” was part of the “Russian Land,” as the Ipatiev Chronicle shows under 1140. Thus, the boundaries of “Rus”, “Russian land”, are determined by the territory of the Pereyaslav “region”, Chernigov, with the exception of its northern and north-eastern parts, and the Kyiv “region”. P.S. In the original study he says Rus’ not Russian, google can’t translate delicate things like these well

@ alexmag342 What utter nonsense is this? The namesake of the Ukrainians emerged as a result of the blossoming of the Ruthenian Cossack-peasant society on the wild steppe, ca. 16th-17th centuries. Etymologically, Ukraine literally means “In the country” or “In our land”, as the peasant masses would refer to their homeland. Another Old Ruthenian rendering of the name is “Вкраина”, which shares this definition. One of the earliest surviving maps to bear Ukraine’s name appeared ~1580 as “Uckrania”. A 1720 map made by the cartographer Johann Baptist Homann is titled “Vkrania que terra Cosaccorvm”. The identity nevertheless spread through the peasantry after the historic Cossack order had officially been liquidated in 1775. By the 17th century, the Ukrainian Cossacks had begun to appear in English literature, the first and most notable work being “A discourse of the original, countrey, manners…religion of the Cossacks” archive.org/details/cossacks_202009 . Even Voltaire, who authored a biography on Sweden’s King Charles XII wrote about the strife of the Ukrainian Cossacks in regaining their independence, under the leadership of Ivan Mazepa. This identity didn’t emerge overnight, or in the secret machinations of the “Masons”, don’t come off as this stupid….

@@balladsofhistory Not to mention that masons emerged only in the early-to-mid 19th century, and this kid is giving me Wrangel’s biography of a Russophile Skoropadskiy indistinctively “implying” that Ukraine didn’t exist. Funnily enough when referring to Maksimovich, Kulish and Chubinskiy, all russian imperial intelligentsia and scientists, they say that Malorossiya (Little Russia) or Maloros/Malorossiyan/Malorussian is the same as Ruthenian and Ukrainian. Contarini, Bárbaro, Da Collo etc. merchants and adventurers note that Muscovites are slavers, drunkards and tend to lie (records from 15th-17th centuries), it’s in their blood. So no wonder this little bot is trying his best with the little “sources” he has.
