The Russian Empire - Summary on a map

[@ispeaku759]

From this video one could think that Russia conquered Crimea just to get access to the Black sea, however the author didn't mention that the south of Russia had suffered from raids of the Crimean Tatars for decades before the annexation of the Crimea. Thousands of people had been captured and sold to the Ottoman Empire and countless villages and towns had been burnt in those raids. So, defeating the Crimean Khanate was not only the matter of expansion but also the matter of securing the southern borders

The video is very superficial. The events are simply listed, and the author does not answer questions about the connection between these events and the needs of Russia. About Ivan the Terrible - nothing at all, except that he was paranoid. Is the author a psychiatrist to diagnose? And the nickname itself - Ivan the Terrible is wrong. His nickname is closer to Thunderstorm, not horror. It is not said why he fought with the feudal lords. It is not said about the military, judicial and other reforms that strengthened Russia. Even the version that Ivan killed his son is only a version that has no evidence, but some present it as a fact. So those who want to know the history should not take such videos as a textbook.

“With the Russian Empire teetering on the brink of collapse, the tsarist regime responded to the crises with its usual incompetence and obstinacy. The basic problem was that Nicholas himself remained totally oblivious to the extremity of the situation. While the country sank deeper into chaos he continued to fill his diary with terse and trivial notes on the weather, the company at tea and the number of birds he had shot that day. When Bulygin suggested that political concessions might be needed to calm the country, Nicholas was taken aback and told the Minister: 'One would think you are afraid a revolution will break out.'

4:36 Peter the Great admiring and wanting to emulate the Dutch Republic provides one possible explanation why the Russian tricolor flag is (apparently) based on the Dutch

[@Dave_Sisson]

When France became a republic they also adapted the Dutch flag by turning it on its side... although the French never admitted they did that and pretended they came up with their tricolour on their own.

[@maximvazhenin3345]

It's not really like this. Despite really unclear early history of Russian flag red, blue and white was a main colors of Russian flag at least since 1667-1668 when father of Peter The Great still was the ruler of Russia. The first documented moment of this three colors being in use refers to the first Russian navy ship called Oryol (Eagle) which was built in 1667 for protection of trading ships in Caspian sea. And it's unclear in which order or in which shape the colors were but according to receipt books cloth of red, blue and white was used. It's unknown why these colors was used but it's a theory that they was using the red, blue and white cloths because it was the only available colors in the town (Dedinovo) where they was building the ship cuz it was colors of city's flag. I failed to finding the flag of town because nowadays it's this ship (Oryol) portrayed on the flag of Dedinovo. Also it is theory that even before this The Dutch Republic gifted a ship to Russia and since Russia never had ships before sailors just switched colors of the Dutch flag (but this is one of the most obscure theories). Later in 1694 it was documented that it was stripes with gold two-headed eagle (coat of arms of tsar of Moscow, basically the coat of arms of Romanov dynasty). In 1710 Peter The Great presented new flag for Russian navy (white field with blue saltire) and tricolor (white, blue, red stripes) became a flag of trading fleet. So Russian started to use white, blue and red before Peter The Great came to power but Peter definitely finished the establishment of these colors as main ones.
