And the history is so complex, I don't even know the majority of it. And it is interesting bc I'm more interested in the history of European countries and absolutely forget about my own.

(America would still be a part of Britain if we were to 100% follow Russia's case) only, there is a tiny problem... how can we be true Americans when there are already Americans here? If we keep them, people of our kind will always be seen as foreigners. Great idea, let us kill them all and take the title of being American :))) and then after they're no longer a threat we can scream EQUALITY! on top of all this, there is a very important difference in ideology, Americans strongly believed in the concept of racism at that time, and so the natives to them were savages. (Russia did not strongly believe in racism at that time) and most importantly, native Americans did not want to be ruled by Europeans, and they fought back on multiple accounts, which ruined the relationship between the two. (and obviously, at that time, the more technically advanced Europeans get the upper hand, it was a complete joke.

A couple of interesting facts about 11 time zones: - When Russia celebrates New Years, news anchors congratulate some big city hourly. It's like a countdown - the more cities are mentioned, the closer the holiday. - Often all sorts of television programs are leaked onto the Internet, because they are first shown in the Far East, and they will reach Moscow in about 10 hours. Therefore, for example, people from Moscow can always find the President's New Year messages on the Internet long before the New Year. - Sometimes what the government doesn't like is accidentally shown on television in the Far East.

Answering your question. You didn't mention Kamchatka. It's the most distant land from Moscow. And it has hills, volcanoes, geysers and hot springs. It's much more cold there at winter than usual but it has perfect weather when you come there at summer. It has beautiful nature and national parks. People there actually do even surf in cold Pacific Ocean using warm wetsuits! Also it's famous for its seafood. Kabardino-Balkaria has very high mountains belt. There is the biggest mountain in Europe called Elbrus. There are a lot of hikers there. There are climbers and ice climbers. There are climbing camps. You can meet travellers there even from Europe and Asia. Sometimes there are skyrunning events. People also come there at winter to ski and snowboard. But these mountains are so big that you can freeride there even at the hottest summer! Ural mountains are also good place to visit. I haven't traveled there a lot so I can't describe good. But I've been to Ekaterinburg. There is Europe/Asia border monument. Also the lake Baikal. It is big and very deep like a sea but its water is fresh. Some people come here at summer to see the nature, some at winter to see wonderful transparent ice and to skate it. Murmansk region is the North Russia. It's not the most cold place. But it has great northern nature and it's relatively easy to get there from Moscow. It's a great place to visit at summer. It has national parks, crystal clear lakes, hills, lots of rocks, moss, lichens, reindeer moss, and lots of wild berries and mushrooms. It has access to the cold northern Barents see which is marginal area of the Arctic Ocean. The more close you come to Barents see the more nature changes into tundra. If you are lucky you will see Northern Lights there. Good place to hike. Some people enjoy kayaking there. Some crazy people enjoy extreme-tours to such places at winter to test frost hardness and extreme conditions to camp. Volgograd was known before as Stalingrad. It's the place of valor and its spirit enters deep into you when you visit the Motherland memorial. There are names of soldiers who died to save us from nazis. I had my heart almost stopped when I've seen those names. Because they are literally everywhere. They are so many. It allows to see the scale. Also the Motherland statue is the soviet kind of statue of Liberty but with another meaning. It's huge calling woman with a sword simboling that "motherland calls" moment in soviet history.

They even launched streaming services with movies just for locals. And having all that - Sakha's cinematography is absolutely unknown in Russia. Like, 99% of people would never even heard about it.

В средние века русские торговали не только мехом, еще мёдом, воском, льном и древесиной.😊 А еще вы не упомянули, что даже во времена татаро-монгольского ига, Россия непрерывно защищалась от Ливонских и других захватчиков с запада. У нас была причина постоянно отступать на восток. Не смотря на то, что на востоке холоднее и менее плодородные земли, но там нет таких агрессивных соседей, как европейцы 😅

Читать про агрессивных европейцев смешно, учитывая агрессивность самой России и ее восточных соседей. Золотая Орда, которая поглотила Русь и, собственно стала Россией, тому пример. Именно из-за монгольского ига мы перестали быть европейцами, а стали азиатами...

As a russian person i really enjoyed this video. I live in Primorsky region, the capital of wich is Vladivostok. Time difference with Moscow is 7 hours and it’s 9-hours flight. Our region is located on the coast of Japanese sea with very beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna.During summer we enjoy beach ans sea activites, in winter we do enjoy skiing, skating and snowboarding. There are many asian nationalities living, in my school we even had students ftom Nothern Korea) You can easily reach China just on a regular tourist bus, fly to Japan, South Korea, Vietnam or Thailand. Thats why it's quite popular to leran asian languages. I must say that it can take a lifetime to explore all of the Russia can offer to you.

I am Russian. The history of Russia did not begin in Kyiv and much earlier! Kyiv was yawned by a coalition of 11 Russian princes in 1169. But traditionally, starting from the Russian chronicle “The Tale of Bygone Years” from the beginning of the 12th century to the present day, the emergence of the Russian state dates back to 862. According to Russian chronicles, this year the northern tribes of the Eastern Slavs and Finno-Ugrians, who had previously expelled some Varangians, called the Varangians to reign - Rus', led by Rurik. but this is only documentary...

I'm currently researching the people of Kamchatka as a Russian studies major. Something I've found incredibly interesting is the exchange between the Ainu people of Hokkaido (in modern day Japan) and the remnants of the Ainu in Kamchatka, and their push for national recognition as an indigenous group in Russia. There is a very small portion of native Kamachatkans (~100) who self-identify as Ainu in census data, and who have petitioned the Russian government to be recognized as a small-numbered people. While many have lost access to the Ainu language of Hokkaido and assimilated with the other Kamchadal people, such a movement exists. Russo-Japanese border politics (both during the war in 1904 and in the present day) also play a huge role in the refusal to acknowledge the Ainu people of Kamchatka as a legitimate entity. Very interesting (and critically understudied :) part of Russian indigenous history that I'm thankful to have stumbled upon.

So there is the hidden answer in this video on the question raised in the title: WHY Russia is so damn big? It is very simple - Russia somehow or other could include, tolerate, support, defend and respect all these traditional cultures and religions. The respect to the individuality is the key of peace. They were taken under the protection, not under the control. Also the key is that religion means the culture of serving the Lord, but not sense gratification. That was the secret of peace in the world, and especially in Europe and America, after Srila Prabhupada have brought Krishna Conciousness, or God Conciousness, to America in 60s.

you forgot to mention one extremely important thing. The colonization of the territory of Russia occurred at the same time as the colonization of the territory of the USA. The indigenous population of Siberia was smaller than the indigenous population of America. But today, each of those Siberian tribes has its own republic, and those few Indians who survived live on reservations. This is the reason for Russia's success as an empire.

[@avadhutagita3741]

Russia didn't colonize these lands. Russia went to the east, because armies constantly came from there and attacked it. Going farther and farther to the East, Russia saw dozens of wars between all these nations. It was in Russia's interests to stop conflicts between them and attacks on Russia itself. In the Far East, Russia had a very small cossack army, and even if Russia's goal was to go to war with all these nations, it would not be able to defeat them. In the end, Russia became increasingly involved in diplomacy. After the fall of the last khanate in the war with China, a small russian army was able to resolve the conflict between China and Far East nations. Russians saved these nations many times. And during the WWII, the mongols saved russians by supplying a lot of food.

[@anonname1334]

The video talks about the "brutal Mongol conquest", but in fact, the Mongol Empire was radically different from Western-style empires. she encouraged the exchange of technology and trade, as there was no the manifestations of faith and culture. It was not for nothing that Moscow was able to oppose something to Mongolia, in fact, cities could live the same way they lived before, simply recognizing their subordination to Mongol Empire. And in my opinion, this partly affected the way Russia pursued an imperialist policy. But of course it's not the same thing, colonialism still took place. By the way, regarding the diversity of cultures, the Soviet government had a great influence, which promoted the small national cultures, at the same time developing the republics industrially, it can also be considered involved in such a method of conducting politics. But even there, of course, not everything was perfect, especially under Stalin. Many things concerning Russia have very strong local specifics, it may seem that everything is simple when you see some common shapes and colors, but everything is much more complicated and much more intertwined.

Russia and the Russians have never destroyed or enslaved anyone. Unlike Western countries: Indians, Chinese, Indians, Africans and other nations and peoples. It was not the Russians who invented racism, Nazism, fascism, colonialism, concentration camps, chemical and bacteriological weapons. Not the Russians, but the Americans were the only ones who used and simultaneously destroyed hundreds of thousands of civilians in peaceful cities with atomic bombs. It was the British and Americans who burned entire cities with civilians: Dresden, Tokyo and others. Therefore, more than 200 nationalities of all world religions now live peacefully in Russia. Because in Russia, All nations and peoples were given Equal rights along with Russians. And that is why All the nations and peoples inhabiting this huge empire stand up for the defense of the vast Russia.

One of these Russian republics that I find really interesting is Udmurtia. When European think of red hair they mostly think of the celts (e.g. Irish, Scots...) but actually, the most red haired people live in the Russian republic of Udmurtia. Which I think is a nice little fun fact ;)

[@budisoemantri2303]

Don't tell Netflix about them

[@Morelze]

I'm from Udmurtia, Izhevsk.The Udmurts have not yet an ordinary language, which is related to Finnish and Hungarian.

[@Morelze]

Udmurts are actually quite red. I have a few red-haired friends and it looks natural to me, but if you look at the statistics, it probably is not so natural in the rest of the world. Does anyone have red-haired acquaintances or friends?

[@lukaswirmsberger6260]

@@Morelze Oh cool I didn't think someone from there would actually read this comment. There is some red haired population all over non-south Europe. It's just not many. Personally I've only gotten to know 2 people with red hair during my life so far here in southern Germany. Depending on the region Germany has between 0.5-1% red haired people.

Did you know that there is an ex Russian settlement in California? When they were settling in Alaska they needed food supply that could be resourced quicker than waiting for summer or importing from Russia. They had explored the US west coast down to northern California where they built Fort Rus. They weren't really interested in colonization at the time however and didn't stay long. Imagine that.

just an hour drive from san fran. been there. fascinating.

[@MarkLee1]

Actually, most of the western coast of USA was settled by Russian people. Russian empire gifted those territories to the US govt afterwards.

[@rodjarrow6575]

@@MarkLee1 It was not a gift, in fact, Russia sold these territories to the US government.

Очень примитивный обзор истории развития Российского государства. Если берётесь за такую тему, вначале избавьтесь от идеологизированного подхода к её раскрытию. Главное - Россия по большей части не захватывала восточные территории, вплоть до Тихого океана, а осваивала пустынные территории. Даже сегодня огромные районы Сибири практически не заселены, а 300-400 лет назад они представляли из себя девственные земли, где не с упала нога человека. Да, Россия, как это говорят исторические источники, воевала с Сибирским ханством, но вопрос - было ли это ханством государством в понимании того времени и каковы были границы его влияния? Территорией определённого государства можно назвать ту территорию, которую его народ может реально защитить. Поэтому Сибирь на тот момент, когда там появились русские поселенцы, можно твёрдо назвать свободной землёй. И с монгалами Русич справились не порохом, а мечами. А сегодня уже и само существование "несметных монгольских полчищ" ставится под сомнение - не находится археологических доказательств в полной мере.

One thing this guy noticed is really true. Russians never tried to establish full supremacy over locals, they included locals into Russia as a whole, with all their habits and traditions. Russians took local nobles as equals and gave them titles of Russian Empire. It’s very unusual for the westerners but it’s true.

[@개혁자-k5d]

Russification is happening to this day. Empires are built of invading and killing. Let's not pretend that the russian empire is flowers and rainbows.

[@Wanderer-desert]

Полное господство было бы трудно установить банально потому, что они не смогли бы контролировать эти территории, а самое главное - это жить на них. Им бы пришлось убить их (местное население), а это значит что на этих территориях не было бы человеческих ресурсов, а значит и удерживать российские войска на этих землях (а равно и собирать ресурсы и прочее для последующих продаж) - невозможно. Я хочу сказать, что действия Российской Империи не обязательно являются именно добродушными и гуманными, скорее просто умные люди поняли, что им невыгодно убивать население (по вышеперечисленным причинам), поэтому им пришлось мириться с тем, чтобы местное население просто присоединились к российской империи. Кто знает, если бы у той России были бы войска и населения намного больше - стали бы они в таком случае сохранять культуру местного населения?

[@Sloganflaer]

@@Wanderer-desert в этом и есть сила политики, когда умнее не убивать, а включить людской ресурс в свою. экономику, как сейчас сделала это европа, позволив арабам и африканцам проникнуть на свои территории, что раньше было бы невозможно. (я не к тому что они люди плохие, но мы можем увидеть многие ограничения в прошлом европе в этом плане)

The Russia of the late 1800’s was so huge it shared borders with both Germany and the Colony of Canada

[@theviniso]

And Norway, and Iran and China.

[@ezra5788]

Modern day Russia is still so huge that it borders both Norway and North Korea.

[@CartoType]

The British Empire, which was far larger than Russia, and in fact far larger than the Soviet Union at its height, had borders with Iran, Ethiopia, Venezuela, China, the USA, Spain, Thailand, the Dutch East Indies, and pretty much everywhere else outside Europe and South America. It included the whole of various previous empires like Egypt and India, and one entire continent. It had no border with Russia because of the carefully-designed Wakhan Salient, a strip of land attached to Afghanistan to keep the two empires apart. But it was shorter-lived, as I'm sure everyone is very keen to point out.
