* Bulgarians, based on historical and ethnic background, don't consider themselves as a Slavic nation since their ancestral tribe, the Bulgars, migrated to the Balkans from the Volga region. However, by currently speaking a Slavic language and based on their huge contribution to the South (and not only) Slavic world they are added on this video.

😂😂Muscovites are not Slavs. "Russians" - a superficially Slavinized mixture of Ugro-Finns and Tatars with a share of Mongols, to whom the Church Slavonic language of the Bible was imposed, which over time began to be called Russian. The Slavicization of this mixture occurred primarily due to the occupied Rus'-Ukraine and the Rusyns (Ukrainians), Litvins (Belarusians, who are Balts by origin), Poles and Balts. The Muscovy occupation of not only Rus'-Ukraine, but also the Belarusian (Lithuanian) lands of the Pskov region, Smolensk region, Kalug region, Bryansk region, the southwestern parts of Voronezhshchena (Ukrainian population), Kursk region (Ukrainian population), Belgorod region (Ukrainian population) played a huge role in the formation of the “Russian” population), not to mention the occupation of the Novgorod Republic by Muscovy. Politically and spiritually, Muscovy arose from the Golden Horde of the Tatars and Mongols. Well, plus more than three centuries of becoming relatives of the Rusyns (Ukrainians) and Rus'-Ukraine and Litvins (Belarusians) with the endlessly deceitful propaganda of Muscovy about the existence of “Russians” as Slavs. In fact, Russians are a Slavicized hodgepodge and their whole “Slavicness” is a three-hundred-year-old myth without any basis for it.

Some facts about Ukraine 🇺🇦 Few people know that the Bulgarians are in the basis for the creation of Kievan Rus/Old Rissia & Ukraine and their rescue from the hordes of Genghis Khan - The Mongols. After the fierce battle with a significantly smaller number, but brave Bulgarians, according to some sources, about 4,000 Mongols survive. According to others, the Volga Bulgarians killed all the Mongols! The Bulgar tribes during the rule of Khan Kubrat/Хан Кубрат, before coming to the Balkans had a country named Old Bulgaria - Volga Bulgaria/Волжка България (7th -13th centuries) and fought against Western Turkic Khaganate. Ibn Fadlan refers to Volga Bulgaria as Saqaliba, a general Arabic term for Slavic people. Other researches tie the term to the ethnic name Scythian (or Saka in Persian). The Ukraine capital Kyiv/Kiev/Киев is named of Shambat Kie/Шамбат Кий, also known with the short name Kyi. He was the founder of Kyiv and the Kyi dynasty, and the Prince (Knyaz) of Polans. Shambat Kie is actually a brother of the First Bulgarian Ruler named Kubrat/Кубрат, (the Bulgarian professional heavyweight boxer Kubrat Pulev/Кубрат Пулев is named after the ancient Bulgarian ruler) who had established a spacious state - "Great Bulgaria" in the steppes of modern Ukraine in ca. 632. He was also uncle of The Great Khan Asparukh, а ruler of Bulgars in the second half of the 7th century and is credited with the establishment of the First Bulgarian Empire in 681, an alliance between the ruling Bulgars and the numerous slavs in the area, and their South Slavic Language, the Old Church Slavonic, became the main and official language of the empire in 864. Asparukh/Аспарух is a Middle Iranian male name, attested in ancient Georgia and early medieval Bulgaria. It is a compound with the two elements: "aspa" (horse) and "rauk" (shine), meaning "he who has shining horses". Some other researchers claim that the name is derived from "aspa" (horse) and "rah" (soul), meaning "one with a soul of a horse". Bulgarians are also the First Slavic Nation to accept Orthodox Christianity after the Armenians and Greeks. They use the title Tcar/King/Цар six centuries before the Russians started to use it. The Bulgarian Church became the First Independent Church in Europe in 927. The first Metropolitan of Kiev was a Bulgarian - Saint Cyprian/Свети Киприян, Metropolitan of Moscow, Kiev and all Russians. Gregory Tsimbalak/Григорий Цамблак - Metropolitan of Kiev and Lithuanian is also Bulgarian.

For me the Slavic dances , are of two kinds, The western Slavic , Poland and Danubia countries, ( Slovakia, Slovenia,Czech Repúblic, Hungary and Eastern Áustria) and on other hand, Rússia, Belarus, Ukraine and Balkans( Bulgária, Croatia, Albânia,, Macedónia, Romania and Serbia)!

[@TheOlgaSasha]

You are right. That is why (because of cultural, historic, genetic and linguistic differences) Slavs are divided into 3 groups: Western, Eastern (both are often considered as Northern group) and Southern ones. Slavs live from Germany to Japan and from Norway to Greece, so differences are great.

You did a great job representing most slavic dances - there are some that you just cannot show in one person.

Then there are the group dances where half of the group carries the other half's weight - those are a lot of fun too😁

[@user-mr1gp2sz2q]

Interresting. Some czech songs sound like austrian folklore and dances too. Yes, they are neighbors. By the was, in Burgenland, former Hungary and now a Region of Austria, there are some citizens with hungarian and croatian origin. There are also several dance groups for their own traditional music and dance.

[@esi4603]

​@@bgbest5790 Firstly our language is literally Slavic with the difference that we have some proto-Balkan influence in grammar and vocabulary but so do all South Slavic languages. Secondly modern day Bulgarian DNA is mainly a mix of Balkan (Thracian, Greek, Illyrian, Dacian) and Slavic genetics, like all other Balkan countries. There's barely any pure ethnicity in the modern day world and I assure you that especially on the Balkans everyone is so mixed that we're almost the same, so I don't know why you are getting so pumped up about that. Thirdly Old Church Slavonic (which was based on Bulgarian in the Middle Ages) might have had influence on Slavic languages with the spread of the Orthodox church in Eastern Europe, that doesn't mean that Slavic languages are based on Bulgarian, Slavs had a language before that but no alphabet. Bulgaria being included in the video doesn't mean that we're just Slavic, it means that our culture is a beautiful mixture of different cultures and traditions who influenced each other for thousands of years. 🙂

[@esi4603]

@@bgbest5790 Dude this is my last comment towards you and I hope you stop as well. You said many things that are so wrong but I can't address all so I'll just name a few. Let's start with the fact that you don't even know your own language (which might be the root of the problem). "Slav" doesn't originate from "slave" , it's the other way round since many Slavic people were taken as slaves in the Roman and Byzantine empire. "Slava" means "glory" in Bulgarian and all Slavic languages (oh wow what a surprise). You keep contradicting yourself by saying that Slavs didn't exist but then go on and say that "Old Church Slavonic IS old Bulgarian but spread to Slavs especially during the 9th century" - how did a language spread among people that according to you didn't exist? I suggest you look up the spread of Slavic languages because they were spoken long before Bulgaria was created and in theritory far from the Balkans (look up "Spread of the Indo-European Languages in Eurasia" here on youtube, or anywhere really...). Old Church Slavonic was used in the CHURCH, in the everyday life people were speaking their own dialect of a Slavic language. Also no one is denying that Bulgarians are closer to Romanians and Mediterranean people, I already stated that we're with a high admixtures of paleo-Balkan genetics, obviously we'll be closer to them than to other European ethnicities. And lastly I have no idea what DNA test you or the people you know took but if you really take yourself as an informed person with large knowledge of history and genetics apparently, you should know that modern day ethnicities are not the same as those 1000 years ago, so your friends being 95% Bulgarian most certainly means that they match the genetics of the people living in Bulgaria today + these tests are extremely flawed and you should research how they get their data before claiming anything. And don't question my ethnic background just because I don't agree with your "facts". Лека вечер :)

@Bg Best @UCfYEEzWPkUdtf7R39DK0QvQ except you're citing one fringe theory that fails to hold up under the elementary scientific scrutiny. The word never existed in Greek until the arrival of Slavs and was specifically used to describe the peoples before it had any other meaning. It's an established consensus the word most likely comes from Proto-Slavic. Claiming anything else right now is pure crackpottery akin to the flat-earthers or Putin's delusions of superiority of his failed nation and designed purely to disparage everyone in here. It doesn't deserve any further reaction.

@@esi4603 As a Macedonian I can say that Bulgarians, and especially Macedonians, have about the same amount of Slavic admixture as Albanians or northern Greeks do. Linguistically we are Slavic, genetically, historically, traditionally, and culturally we are not. Cant speak for any other Balkan countries though, but generally no country in the Balkans has anywhere close to even half of their DNA being Slavic. The way we in Macedonia think of it is we influenced the Slavic world by us giving them religion and the alphabet and Old Church Slavonic and they influenced us by giving us their language, but we are not the same. Same as how Egyptians speak the same language as Syrians but are not the same nor do they originate form the same people or group genetically.

[@esi4603]

@@samraosmanovska4077 of course we're not only Slavic and have less Slavic genetics than Eastern and Western Slavs for example, but that doesn't erase the Slavic heritage we have, which the commenter implied by saying "we have nothing Slavic in us or our culture" he even said Slavs don't exist (now the comments are deleted btw)

Great job! 👍🏼 Greetings from Serbia!

Thank you! :))

[@liliqua1293]

I can't wait for other pan-ethnic dances like Turkic, Arabic, and Latin! I really hope this includes Slavic minorities in non-Slavic countries.

[@VasilisDance]

Nice idea!:)) This particular video is about the 13 Slavic countries, so no minorities unfortunately. However, they can be added in other videos as well, I want to include everyone at some point. Rusyn folklore, for instance. :))

[@MisterX-uu2yr]

Thank you, Vasilis, for the excellent presentation. Which Slavic dances are the closest to the Greek ones, according to you?

[@VasilisDance]

Thank you!! I believe those who are closest to Greece, like Serbia, North Macedonia and Bulgaria. The dances are almost common in the regions of Thrace and Macedonia. :))

Потрясающая подборка! И отлично видно, как некоторые танцы у соседних народов похожи! P.s. Стыдно, но я и не подозревала, какие потрясающие танцы у болгар! P.p.s. В СССР были популярны ТВ программы с подборкой национальных танцев, многие узнала на Вашем видео!

[@VasilisDance]

Спасибо большое!!
