I only recently discovered your channel and am now on Season 2 of your WWI series and I just simply have to say that Season 1 (and the other "side" videos I've seen so far) was some of the most riveting content I've seen in my entire life and I am not exaggerating. I am big into WWI history and have several books covering various stories and topics but I've never seen something like this in my life, a week-by-week re-telling of the events of the war as it happens is just amazing and you are so thorough and objective. I can't wait to reach the timeline in your series when USA gets involved so I can learn more of it - I had family serve during the war and none came back so to learn more of the individual skirmishes and battles will be something special.

Azeris didn't serve not because they were refusing to adopt the Russian regime (one of the non-essential reasons only), but because Russian Empire was not allowing Muslims, especially of Turkic origin to serve in the army and be trained militarily.

@Theworldsucks-kg5jv Well, we are talking about two different geographies. During the First World War, the Russian Empire desperately needed those troops. One of the highest commanders of Muslim forces was Azerbaijani (Turk or tatar as they were called by Russian authorities those years), Khan Nakhichevansky, and Azerbaijani troops served with Chechens in the second brigade of Caucasian Native Cavalry Division, first earned a St George's order for their commander, fought and repelled Austrians many times. The Savage Division saved Russians in Romania in 1917, became an Army Corps, and was one of the most feared units. In history, they are best known under the name of Savage Division.

Perhaps you have never heard this story before. Back in the day, the muslim population of Georgia wasn’t nearly as heavily outnumbered before Russian rule over the Caucasus. When the Tsardom took hold, the religious situation changed in favor of the largest religion in modern Georgia. It’s somewhat odd that three seemingly independent factors could have on the region. But strategic national defense, religion and history are all just domino bricks.

Russia has to do nothing with Christianity in the Caucasus since most of the Russians did not even know what was Christianity for a long period of time. I don't say that there were not Muslims.

Also "druzhiny" (дружины), is a plural for Russian noun "дружина", it can be militia, men at arms or citizen patrol. Long ago it ment a military unit, a brotherhood of Russian knights (just note, back then it was Kievan Russ, Novgorod republic and other states, there was no Russia in current sense). "Друже", "друг" in the root of the eord meaning "a friend", some might know the word "droog" from "the Clockwork Orange".

Someone mentioned Stalin. His real name was Ioseb Jughashvili, born in one of the toughest, cruelest towns in Georgia. Before he settled on "Joe Steel" (Joseph Stalin) he used approximately two dozen aliases for his writing. See the book "Young Stalin", fascinating, excellent read. Typical bluster by Jugashvili: "Hey, people have been calling me 'Stalin', so I adopted it!" BEE ESSSS. The so-called Turkish fleet bombardments of Sebastopol, etc. were probably the German ships Goeben and Breslau, which outran the British to get to Constantinople, and pressure the Ottoman government to join the Germans. The ships left Constantinople, and entered the Black Sea. The German sailors dressed in Turkish naval uniforms, and the ships flew the Turkish flag.

Some researchers say that Джугашвили is actually Ossetian last name. Trotsky called Stalin "Sly Ossetian". The word Джуга might come from old Georgian word for steel. Maybe that's why Stalin took this nickname. You can read about it in article by Georgiy Lebanidze from 1988.
