As an Italian lover of History I see some similarities between Italy and Ukraine. While in the past our nation harboured an ancient culturally rich nation, we than got separated, submitted and deprived of our identity. Of course, the Ukrainian situation was more extreme. But hat off to Ukrainian resisting any attempt to cancel and destroy their culture and language. Many say “Ukraine will raise again”. I beg to differ, the Ukrainian spirit was never conquered and never will. A country which such a strong brave people, is bound to greatness once they defeat their oppressor. Once this war is over, Ukraine needs to take its place on Europes future.

Голодомор також був в Україні насильно, коли в нас навмисно забирали усю їжу. було 3 голодоморів. Будь яку їжу та в будь яких кількостях. Був навіть закон про "п'ять колосків". Людей спеціально залишали голодними, вони помирали або були при смерті. Їх кидали у братьску могилу. Потім на ці землі завозили росіян. Нас жахливо та жорстоко нищили всю історію заселяючі наші землі..

[@rorreno]

важливо також згадати що початок голодоморів був ударом нижче поясу після того як нам дали в піддих і знищили митців. (розстріляне відродження) Думаючи що митці можуть налаштувати селян на антиросійский настрій, хоч він і без того був, адже ми бачили комунізм з українськими ідеями.

You forgot to say that Russia stole our name and translated it into Greek fron Rus to Russia

[@eugeneb.5955]

Widespread myth. Greeks named Rus territories of modern Central and Western Russia too. Central Ukraine was named Little Rus in medieval times similar to modern Greece territories was named Little Greece by them as marker of origins of an ethnicity. And Central and Western Russia were named Great Rus similar to Magna Grecia or Great Greece (Southern Italy) as marker of the territory colonised by ethnic group. So it is true that the roots of russian people lies in Ukraine, but they stole nothing, you are basically same people with same heritage but affected by different cultures (Ukraine was conquered and colonised by Lithuania, steppe tribes, Poland and Austria, Russia was conquered by the Mongols but not colonised and "enjoyed" indirect rule)

​​@@eugeneb.5955Ukraine in almost any Slavic language is translated as the edge. She joined Russia at the request of the Russians themselves, who helped her from attacks from the Western side. but then, as usual, Russia began to try to absorb Ukraine into itself, making it a part of Russia, and not an independent territory. In fact, the Russian people, as usual, offered their sacrifice to help Ukraine. but it doesn't make sense, because the government has turned the initial aid into a series of oppressions. Russians are now hated by Ukrainians, despite the fact that Russians share the concept of government and people. that is, hatred of Russians by nationality is widespread in Ukraine, and in Russia hatred of the Ukrainian government🤡 and its own government 🤡

[@Umvelt_Shattered]

Russians are one of the few who completely accept the hatred of others in their direction and are still glad to see them as guests and do not have a bad opinion of people. Russians share power and people, as these concepts may not overlap. I also remind you that the real Russian government has not been the choice of the people since the 20th century. they came to power when we were distracted by the war and from that moment on the Russian government ceased to personify the Russian people. now it is the opposite. In Russia, they also say: "war is an opportunity for the poor to earn money by putting their lives on the line." No one wants to die

11:13 There was also a problem of main soviet agroculturalist: Lysenko. Dude rejected all known things from science or biology in favor of politically correct vision that aligned with communist ideas. For instance dude rejected dividing plants by kind, but divided them to classes. He then theoretized that all plants of the same class would not compete with each other and would help weaker plants reach greater heights in class solidarity. Thus he forced all farmers to plant crops in unreasonably huge density. Results were basically crop failure.

[@quuaaarrrk8056]

Yes, this is a strange (nice word for "false") way of simplifying this. After all, the territories in question had mostly been Polish and then Austrian rather than Russian for a long time, thus were not what one would politically consider "Ukrainian" as they were part of interwar Poland (albeit there was a Ruthenian majority in most of these territories). And as you point out, during WW2 it was simply a question of what border of the military occupation it had been. Logically the then-Polish territories of Galicia where in the occupational Government of Poland, while the parts of the Ukrainian SSR where in the Ukrainian administration. Once again, I am absolutely not disputing that these territories are/should be Ukrainian, I am simply pointing out that the explanation given in the video is false.

The video is good, but the author protruded a very important part of history - the reign of Danylo Halytsky in the Galicia-Volyn principality and the formation of the Ruthenian kingdom as a result of his status and crown from the Pope. This person fought against the Mongols to the last and thanks to him the Galicia-Volhynia principality fought the horde for the longest time, but did not allow the Mongol-Tatars into Europe. Then the Ruthenian kingdom united with Lithuania, where they coexisted in one state equally. Lithuanians and Rusyns (Ukrainians) liberated most of modern Ukraine. But under the pressure of Muscovy, they had to unite with the Poles, where everything was not so good

I'm sorry to inform you that Ruthenians were still considered second-class citizens during the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It was only in the 15th century that they received equal LEGAL rights, and it wasn't until the 1560s that they obtained equal POLITICAL rights. This historical disparity played a significant role in the split between Ukraine and Lithuania during The Lublin Union, as Ukraine sought to secure full citizens' rights (and joining Poland was their way of achieving it).

Briefly: in 1944, the USSR authorities decided to literally commit genocide the Crimean Tatar people - their deportation, which resulted in the deaths of 30-50% of the entire NATION in the first years alone. Instead, the territory of Crimea was settled by russians. But the problem was that the newly arrived "natives" of Crimea did not know how to farm on those lands. The result was economic stagnation in the region. The decision to "give" Crimea to Ukrainian SSR was approved by the USSRs Presidium because it was the only reasonable solution to restore stability to the region.

A history of Ukraine accurately told by a non-ukrainian? Madness! One thing I think is worth mentioning in this brief style of retelling is those years of subjugation in 19th century were very important in creation of ukrainian identity. Parts of Ukraine under Austria were allowed to publish their books in ukrainian, make their plays in theaters in ukrainian and so on, while Ukraine under russia was banned from all of this. Because of that austrian-ukrainians became ukrainian elite, thinkers, ideologues of united ukrainian nation, while russian-ukrainians who were mostly peasants became keepers of ukrainian living tradition who dreamt of the time of cossacks as this mythical time where we were free and independent. In 20th century after the fall of russian empire both parts were united into a single country, and everyone lived happily ever after. No, eastern ukrainians saw western ukrainians as just another foreign rulers, and the rest is mentioned in the video.

It's odd to make a distinction between Ruthenians and Ukrainians in the early modern period.

He is pretty clearly not a supporter of Russia’s invasion, and it’s probably an honest mistake or just being used to it

[@Slidan]

@@Trolligiyou wouldn’t use N word in USA being white out of respect to their cultural environment. You wouldn’t want to confuse Czech Rep. for Slovakia, implying latter don’t exist as a nation. There are some basic things to be respected in each culture, and using russian writing of Ukrainian toponyms gives us bad Z vibes, despite the concluding position of an author. When Ukraine topic is touched, some people don’t bother enough and neglect how we want to be represented. Guy said people didn’t even know Ukraine existed before the invasion, nayce meme, but if u make video on that topic, you should bother just a little bit at least out of respect and solidarity with the people who are going through fucking invasion for more than a year now.

@@Slidan until recently a lot of people called Kyiv “Kiev” and some people are used to that, because the Russians were in control of Ukraine. Janos doesn’t want to offend the Ukrainians

[@LivingIronicallyinEurope]

I'm sorry to hear that. I apologize for the unintentional offense. As Ukranian is written in Cyrillic and there isn't really a standardized spelling for it in Latin, I thought both Kyiv & Kiev were used interchangeably. Will pay attention in the future

В царские времена, где-то возле Одессы (если не ошибаюсь) было целое анархическое государство розмером с Бельгию, запрявлял всей этой движухой Нестор Махно (украинский анархист красного толка и революционер, участник гражданской войны 1917-1922 годов в Украине. Командовал Революционной повстанческой армией Украины), у них ещё был девиз "бей красных (комунистов), пока не побелеют, и бей белых (белогвардейцев) пока не покраснеют)

[@fathersshadow]

Ты чуть чуть перепутал Махно по началу был за коммунистов но они его предали и его государство было у запорожья а с УНР он почти и не сотрудничал

Khan-Tuvan Dyggvi, according to Omeljan Pritsak, was the name of a Khazar khagan of the mid 830s. He led a rebellion of the Kabars against the Khagan Bek. As this rebellion took place roughly contemporaneously with the conversion of the Khazars to Judaism, Pritsak and others have speculated that the rebellion had a religious aspect. Omeljan Pritsak speculated that a Khazar khagan named Khan-Tuvan Dyggvi, exiled after losing a civil war, settled with his followers in the Norse-Slavic settlement of Rostov, married into the local Scandinavian nobility, and fathered the dynasty of the Rus' khagans. Nevertheless, the possible Khazar connection to early Rus' monarchs is supported by the use of a stylized trident tamga, or seal, by later Rus' rulers such as Sviatoslav I of Kiev; similar tamgas are found in ruins that are definitively Khazar in origin.
