A fun piece of oral history passed down in my Koryo-saram (basically Russified Korean) family is that in the late 19th century, when whole Korean hamlets and villages were allowed to relocate to newly colonized parts of the Russian Far East on the condition of conversion to Orthodox Christianity, our ancestor was the head of one such village. He and other village heads were shocked to discover that, unlike Confucian Korea where village heads were salaried officials exempt from physical labor, in Russia they would have to work the fields and pay taxes like any other peasant. Then they found out that in order to avoid having to do that they would have to switch careers to village priests instead, and apparently they only had to take a four month course to get ordained. While these were almost certainly exceptional circumstances not usually applied elsewhere in the country, the overall laxness of priest training in 19th century Russia doesn't surprise me in the slightest 😂

This is a side note, but Alexander I's death is disputed to this day. Back in college, I took a class on 19th century Russia with professor who had written many books and papers on Imperial Russia. She discussed how the circumstances of Alexander's death were extraordinarily suspicious and coincided with a soldier who happened to also be sick with Typhus literally just disappearing. In addition, the body did not have a proper autopsy done because no coroner was in the area and by the time one arrived, the body had started to rot. We have no way of knowing for certain, but it is a very real possibility that Alexander faked his own death. He was known to hate being Tsar and it is very possible that he saw a way out and took it. This theory is further reinforced by the arrival of a new priest to a nearby town around this time that just so happened to know multiple languages and had noble etiquette. Again, this doesn't matter to the story, it is just a really interesting thing that academics like to debate.

Yet another great video! The details of the Cantonist system were horrific but not at all surprising, very on-brand for the Russian Empie. Fun fact: among the Jewish soldiers fighting in the Polish November Uprising was Major Józef Berkowicz aka Joseph Berkovitz or Berkowitz, the son of Berek Joselewicz, mentioned twice previously in this series. Finding himself among the numerous Polish emigres after the fall of the uprising, he eventually settled in the UK. He interestingly published a novel: "Stanislaus or the Polish Lancer in the Suite of Napoleon, from the Island of Elbe". PS. What is the city flashing for a split second at 16:45, when you talked about Odessa's bad reputation?

The "Gaza strip" is actually made up of many cities, like Han yunis and Dir Al balah. Gaza is just the biggest one. The Tell aviv area in Israel is made up of even more cities, like Ramat gan or Holon. And the "Tel aviv air port" is not in Tel aviv. In Europe or America, when many nearby towns grow into cities, the biggest one usually swallows the smaller ones as borrows or neighborhoods. For instance, Queens and Brooklyn where not always parts of New York. But for some reason that is less common in the middle east.

They've been working their way backwards ever since, and the data from the period of this video still mostly hasn't been digitized yet. Surprisingly, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has actually _accelerated_ the archival process as lots of people have come into the country, both to assist the war effort and to prevent the data from being lost forever.

Socialist principles of internationalism and social justice tend to be attractive to oppressed populations, and when you pair this with the fact that many Jews in the Russian Empire were literate and politically interested, it makes sense that they would embrace socialism at high rates! Unfortunately for the Jews of the Russian Empire, not all socialists held to those internationalist principles, and under Stalin the very multiculturalist policies of Lenin were reversed in favor of a return to the exact kind of ethnic Russian chauvinism seen before the revolution (despite Stalin being an ethnic minority himself, he was very much an assimilationist Russian nationalist). But prior to the rise of Stalin, they'd have little reason to expect such a thing - the way Socialists wrote about national minorities overwhelmingly tended to be in favor of self determination, in sharp contrast to the existing policies of the Tsars, so it's easy to see why they would expect things to improve for Jews and other minorities under Socialist governance.

That's a very 20th century American/British idea of race and obviously not something 19th century Russians were thinking about. As I said in this video, non-European _cultures_ within the Empire (which included Jews) were _very_ looked down upon, and later there was a very strong sense that Russians were racially superior to neighboring Asian states as well. With that said, people of Asian descent who fully Russified were not terribly discriminated against. So a fully assimilated person with East Asian facial features wouldn't have been a big deal- it was actually pretty common for such people to be in positions of prestige and power. The Russian Empire of the 19th century didn't have _zero_ black population, but it was very small and I have no idea what their social status was. I get the impression that they were mostly assimilated into local cultures.

A note on how to pronounce Pavel Kiselyov's surname. The first two syllables are 'key' (metallic thing) and 'see' (verb). For the third one, it seems that English doesn't actually have a similar syllable (😵), so the best thing is to take the first syllabe from 'yoke' (the 'yo' part) and stick the 'l' before and 'v' after it, to form 'l-yo-v'. In the current recording, you seem to reverse the order of some of the letters and say the name as 'kiss-lay-love' 😵

Kee-see-lyov with the 'y' being a consonant y/j?
