- Join the Cossack soldier Stepan as he tries to keep order in the battalion and help his people regain their independence.
--
The year is 1676, and a treaty has officially ended hostilities between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire. Despite a serene sunset on the Dnipro river, the mood is tense for the Zaporozhian Cossacks. Renowned as one of Europe’s most formidable military forces, they are in the midst of a power struggle. Alex Gendler outlines a day in the life of a Cossack soldier.

@Lavender The Lynx okay
Actually not, as there's misinformation in this video.
I thought the freakish looking humans were distracting. I wouldn't call that great animation.
Santhosh Vardhan ?
Maybe you guys should do a video on youtube's recommendation system
A channel called Veritasium already did one. It is under the name 'My video went virah and here's why'
Icky Elephant virah or viral I actually want to know
@@zahrah8512 viral..
I scrolled down your videos
Nice topics
but advice :if you want more subscribers I recommend you using your own human voice, that will make your videos more attracting to viewers and seem more professional , the annoying translating computer voice really makes it exetremely avoidable, also work on your editing skills as a starter try to compose slideshows of the images of the different topics that you are discussing
so work on your speech and voice tone and Don’t forget to spice it up with some humor witch is very important
And I highly recommend you to watch other contents for more ideas
Wish you the best and I hope that this will be beneficial
top question science cannot answer
The only thing is.. the Kossacs’ fortress is called siCH where ch is pronounced as in the word arCH, or CHips
Interesting, in the sci-fi setting of Dune the fremen dwellings are called a 'Sietch' which sounds similar to what you are saying.
@@BVargas78 yes yes it's yeah totally
czcams.com/video/pfQlEHQKnqM/video.html
@@BVargas78 your example represents the russian version of pronunciation- Сечь [sietch] and the ukrainian version is Січ [seetch]. Tho all we're left with is to wonder which is closer to the original word used by Cossacs themselves
Btw "Sich" is a Ukrainian for "cutting", which represents how the whole fortress was built simply from the cut wood.
Greetings from Ukraine!
Daniel martyn it’s your point of view

@@mrowl5816 what is "recognitio"? Are you russian troll with bad English?
@@ilikeskies It's a kremlinbot. Google over it.
1. No, they are not.
2. In battle for khotyn against ottoman empire they were 50%(over 22 000 cossacks) of polish-lithunian commonwealth under the comand of UKRAINIAN hetman Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachnyi.
3. How have they reinforced their ranks during various campains? Locals. Not only, but mostly.
4. They were ortodoz christians. Not catholics, not muslim or anything else? Bcs befor cossachina/hetmanat there have been Rus, which had been empire with strong capital Kiev, but later it became divided into many city states. It led for fall befor mighty mongols (it had havr few benefits like prosperity and all, but...). So this state with capital Kiev, had been christianised by Voladymyr/Vladimir Rurikovich. He did so to unite the states under one religion and to create marrige alliance with Byzantin.
4. Also, what was their language? Here is thing. We, ukrainians (not only we), understand old textes. From period of Rus, such as "Povist vremyanyh lit", written by Nestor Litolisyc, to "Duma" (poem about uniting), by Ivan Masepa ukrainian Hetman.
I called just a few.
In conclusion:
- same culture with some mixture with iranic (which is ok, bcs ukraine was part of Hun empire, during civil war of Attila's sons on ukrainians land were located one of the capitals, i am not claiming Hun empire part of ukrainian nationality, just an interesng fact. Also there were scythians, samatians, kemerithians, rus and polovci, hetmanat, current state of Ukraine.
Yes, cossacks were not only ukrainians, there were a lot of moskovites at that time (russians), tatars and a lot of another folks. As it was said. That was pretty much shelter for all kind of men. One irish guy once said, that Kryvonis (cossack) was irish. It can be so. I believe, i already have said it.
- local reinforcment.
- cossack starshyna had ruled over this land.
- etc etc etc.
It is only roof.
Indeed a toast to Ivan Sirko who fought in 65 battles and never lost one!
Danyil Diachenko характерник
Yes, Ivan sirko is apparently a half Russian and an Orthodox Christian, he swore to uphold his pride always, he worked really hard and especially in a non illegal way and trained pretty hard and ate really different fRom others which led to his speciality and he made his way to the top, so here's to sirkow

Cossacks are a minority that does not deserve recognition
Daniel martyn kids are minority that does not deserved to have access to the internet
Damn, the artist and the narrator did a great job! The spirit of the steppe freedom of the brotherly Cossacks is transmitted perfectly. Thanks for the great video) Спасибо! Дякую!
Interesting choice of time period, in Ukraine we call it "The Ruin", and it was kind of dark times for Cossacks.
I guess they didn't want to talk about the most famous part with Bogdan Chmelnizki and Poland war, since this topic was brought up to many times. Also it's a shame they didn't talk about cossacks under Poland's crown, since those 2 groups had not very worm relations perfectly described in "Chorna Rada"
@@goldensp3038 What a big misunderstanding was between such a mentally close slavic people like: Poles, Ukrainian and Belorussian?
@@awdey im pretty sure slavs are not so close, we fight with each other.
@@timax4114 Are you talking about Poles and Ukrainians?
@@awdey it's all about shlyahta, cossacks were not among the elites.)
Firstly - great video! Secondly, as a Pole I am really thankful for showing less known side of the cossack's history. It is most unfortunate that in Polish schools cossack's history is dominated mostly by the fact of their rebellions against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth rather then by showing the more accurate and objective version of the events. Saying this I need to apologize to my Ukrainian neighbors that the way we are thought this story is by general flattening of the source of the conflicts - which in a bigger shortcut occurred when cossacks disagreed with limits in number of so called "register cossacks" (cossacks which were being paid by the PLC and treated as a PLC's citizens) settled by the Sejm (or King I don't remember) and by the figure of Bohdan Chmielnicki and the death of the king Władysław Waza the 4th. Polish people also lack the knowledge of cossack origins (which were also not mentioned in this video) as the people who mostly fled from the 17th century feudal slavery which was present at the PLC Ukrainian's part of the Dominium, as well as the fact that Ruthenian people from this region were treated mostly as the citizens of 2nd category. It is definitely one of the most interesting and most overlooked part of Europe's history. Again great video!
Great comment! I am really happy to see poles in here! One correction though, Ukrainians (or Ruthenians). Were not treated as 2nd class citizens! They had their own szlachta as well! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthenian_nobility
Thank you, for your comment dear neighbor! Piece and prosperity!
dzieki kolego polski
As a Ukrainian, I can say that in common perception now cossacks are seen more as a symbol of fighting against Moscow even though they lost :( As for their relationships with Poland everybody is like, yeah, things happened, but now we are friends. Basically, cossacks are a symbol of any fight against any enemy :)
@@zakonczenie9795 Of course they were treated as 2nd class citizens. Them also having nobility doesn't change this fact at all.
Repin is a Ukrainian-born artist who worked in Russia. His style was formed by Ukrainian culture which he often depicted in his art. Calling him Russian is like calling Picasso French.
I'm not an Ukrainian myself but as someone really interested in its history, it was awesome to watch a video like this made by you! Cossacks were fascinating warriors indeed.
Oh, an the animation was really good, I definitely loved it!
That is just your opinion. To each their own.
Hope more foreigners will learn about our history soon.

I'm surprised that this video was made back in 2019 and not after 24.02.22. It makes it even more precious)) Thank you!
It's Sich (like s-each), not Sick. I'm Ukrainian.
You are not Ukrainian, you are a Cossack
Temp Temp та ми всі козаки, так чи інакше)))
Pandamasque мене теж часто перебирає, коли говорять «Сікч», або ще якось так
Приємно коли Ted говорить про Україну, а ще не забули згадати, що мова на якій говорили козаки більш схожа на сучасну українську. Я не сильний у турецькій, але спікер сказав, що козак у перекладі з турецької це "Free man", пан Фрімен)
Sich, not to be confused with Sikh
Thank you so much for actually using a proper name of the Dnipro river. I`ve seen a lot of articles and videos that due to lack of research use the Russian word for it "Dnepr". But it`s not her real name! She is called Dnipro and she is beautiful! It may seem like a little thing but it means a lot for those who care.
2:24 "Sich" is pronounced as [sitʃ] where "ch" is like in the word "search" and not as [sik] from the Ukrainian word - січ.

A lot of fiction in the video.
Thank you ted ed for delivering information in such an interesting way. ❤️🙏

@@haleloop963cortex4 Do not forget that these Cossacks appeared there after the capture of Hetmanship by the Russian Empire. Cossacks began to move from the wild steppes to the Kuban
Thank you so much Ted Ed! ❤️
i really hope you guy win awards annually for these videos. the animation and narration are the best on youtube.
Please keep this animation style. It's so beautiful. Loved the video.
I am a partial descendant of Cossacks, so this was really nice to watch:)
Thank you for this great video!
I really love how you guys at Ted bring up good, attractive informative videos consistently
the animation style is legendary, it's like a story book opens and speaks by itself.
By the way, Repin was from cossack's family named Ripa.
It's greatfull, because this video was made before two days to Independence Day of Ukraine!
Thank you so much!

Welcome back, great Ted-Ed Narrator, i missed you much
the cossacks appearance is similar to the chitpawan brahmins who were given the post of peshavas ,in India they were a clan of brahmin warrior, peshwa bajirao was one of most popular warrior among the chitpawans.
Good point. I’ve also noticed that as well.
Every video is a masterpiece
LOL
TED's animations are improving drastically every video.
This place is still exist and I love that powerful place-island Khortitsa in Zaporojie , Thank you for video.
yoooooooo this could be an amazing series if netflix makes it.. could be better than game of thrones
There are couple of films and series about cossacs actually just not on netflix.
0:34 not really, it comes from the turkic word "gozuk" meaning adventurous, bold, fearless.
also the zaphorezhian cossacks weren't the only cossacks, there were also the don cossacks and the terek cossacks, just sayin'
Oleg: Gozuk meens more like "To bee seen,liked". Goz+ eye and uk=see,seen,to be seen.
Plz do more of these vids they're really enjoyable.

As an Ukrainian American, the Cossacks are held very close in my heart. I look up to them for guidance and inspiration
I'm half Ukrainian and it was super cool to see this video

And that is cool, that people remember their origin.
@@woohooo7634 not actually, Russia have only donskiy's Cossack which resettled from Sich, and it was given by Elisavet 2-ond. Russia never were cossacks but had them!
@@talesman7775 You do not know anything about this and you confused the Don Cossacks (appeared in the 16th century) with the Kuban Cossacks (appeared in the 18th century), as well as Elizabeth and Catherine 2. In Russia, in addition to them, there are also Terek (Caucasian) Cossacks, Astrakhan Cossacks, Volga Cossacks, Ural Cossacks, Siberian Cossacks, even Tatar Cossacks ( Mishari) etc. The most ancient:
Khoper Cossacks - in the 13th century on the Khoper river (modern Penza and Saratov regions of Russia) there was a Cossack state Chervleny Yar, consisting mainly of brodniks (one of the ancient proto-Cossack tribes)
Khlynov (Vyatka) Cossacks (appeared in the 12th century) are the descendants of Novgorod ushkuyniki (river robbers or pirates).
Khlynov is ancient name of Kirov.
Severskie Cossacks (or Sevryuki) - the descendants of the severyane (northerners), the ancient East Slavic tribe.
Even Ural or so called Yaik Cossacks originate in the 14th century.
Beautiful animation and narration.

@@Wood97718 At least noticable. Zapsoroshian cossaks were in Ukraine, and Don in... Don.(obviously) Also known as Kuban', and it is Russian territory.
Don cossacks if like franchise of original,
there were many cossack hosts and they all were slightly different, they usually spoke slightly different language, had different views and generally looked different. Most famous cossack hosts were Zaporozhians (Ukraine) Don, Kuban and Terek (today Russia) though i wouldnt argue about if Cossacks were Russians or Ukrainans (cause these arguments show up everywhere Cossacks are mentioned) because they were their very own thing.
Squeezward there are 4 other hosts than that excluding the late Orenburg host and even then the Zaporozhian host was destroyed and deported to Russia where the Kuban Cossacks were formed
forgiveness denied what

The year is 1676.
I find history more interesting when you give a little more perspective... most namely what's happening in and around this time elsewhere.
The city of Boston is already a bustling new world settlement, having been founded about 50 years ago.
If you're of a historical-fiction bent, about 25 years from now, Edward Kenway will be born, and the golden age of piracy in the caribbean will soon kick off.
Very good video. I looked similar, but there Zaporizhia and Don Cossacks were mixed into one, but these are completely different concepts.
They say freedom land is not to be found, but to be created. After seeing this history, now I finally understand what does that mean
