3:37 Black flags with skulls were also typical of anarchists in those times in post-Russian Empire. Also, the inscription on the flag says _"Death to the bourgeouis"_ 6:07 Well, the flags of ZUNR (Western Ukrainian People's Republic), and this one, slightly differ from the current Ukrainian one in that they use a darker shade of blue. But the flag of UNR (Ukrainian People's Republic) is indeed the same. 8:18 Again, flag typical of anarchists. The inscription says _"DEATH to those who uppoze (sic!) the achievement of freedom of working people"_ Also, as has been mentioned by other commenters, you have left out quite a few of the temporary republics. I'm slightly disappointed that you said nothing about Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Republic (Донецко-Криворожская Республика) or even about all the stuff that was going on in the main parts of Ukraine with UNR, ZUNR, Skoropadsky's Hetmanate, and so on.

Facts General Knowledge could have added about the Basmachi movement: - When the rebels were defeated in Central Asia by the reds, the Muslims crossed the border to Afghanistan for protection. There they managed to get involved in a civil war situation Afghanistan had at the time and in the end Afghanistan allowed the USSR invade it just to take down the Basmachi. - At some point, Enver Pasha was the leader of the movement. Enver was openly a supporter of Pan-Turranism, an ideology supporting that the Ottomans should form an empire stretching from the Balkans to Yemen and even up to Siberia, uniting all the Turkic Siberians, Central Asians and the Arabs. After the developments in Turkey and the rise of Kemal, Enver moved to Central Asia and kept fighting there, if I'm not wrong he died in Tajikistan or Afghanistan.

[@outerspace7391]

Also the Republic of Altai, the one wanting to reform the Mongol Empire, originally had a red swastika on its flag. (I understand why this channel used the version without it). So imagine how it would look like on a world map if things went just as the Altai government wished to.

Crimea was a very interesting case due to how much chaos there was in the negotiations. The government of the Crimean People's Republic was never in any particular rush to sign anything with the Central Rada in Kyiv, and ultimately there was no real agreement between the two governments by the time of the first Red Army invasion (things were even more complicated because a rival Ukrainophile body had popped up in Crimea during the initial Ukrainian-Crimean negotiations).

There were Izhorans (Ingrians), either a separate people, or a subgroup of Karelians (their self-identity was Karelians in the past, but as the Soviets didn't like the fact that Leningrad is in the middle of Karelian lands, a separate identity was established). But, the majority were Ingrian Finns, who were Finnish. Most of the people living in Ingria previously were moved to Russia when the territory went to Sweden in 1617, and became the Tver Karelians, and Finns from Finland moved in to empty lands. Izhorans were Orthodox, and Ingrian Finns were Lutheran. After WWII, the Ingrian Finns were prohibited to live in Ingria, many of them settled to Estonia or Karelia, and by the time the Soviet Union collapsed were either assimilated, or moved to Finland after the collapse.
