History of Russia Part 2: Birth of a European Power
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 06. 2016
- Epic History TV's history of Russia continues! Emerging from the Time of Troubles, Russia fights back against foreign invaders, as Prince Pozharksy and Kuzma Minin liberate Moscow from Polish forces. Russia's assembly, the Zemsky Sobor, turns to a 16 year old boy, Mikhail Romanov, for leadership. He and the early Romanovs oversee a turbulent period of war, reform and rebellion: all Russian peasants are made serfs by the terms of the Sobornoye Ulozheniye, while Patriarch Nikon's religious reforms split the Russian Orthodox Church between Reformers and Old Believers. The Thirteen Years War (1654 - 67) against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth brings Smolensk and Kiev under Russian control, as Cossack renegade (and folklore hero) Stenka Razin leads revolt in the south.
In 1689, Peter the Great seizes power from his half-sister, Princess Regent Sofia. Peter is determined to make Russia a great European power, and travels to the Dutch Republic and England to study the latest developments in science and shipbuilding. He wages successful wars against the Ottoman Empire, acquiring the Black Sea port of Azov, and defeats Sweden in the Great Northern War, winning one of Russia's most famous victories at Poltava in 1709. He builds a new capital, St.Petersburg, as well as a Russian navy, and reforms education, industry and government. Not without internal opposition, Peter's boundless energy transforms Russia.
The second half of Russia's 18th century is dominated by female rulers. Under the reign of Empress Anna Ioannovna, Vitus Bering charts the coast of Alaska and discovers the Aleutian Islands. Empress Elizabeth leads Russia into the Seven Years War against Frederick the Great, with Russian victory at Kunersdorf in 1759, and oversees construction of St.Petersburg's stunningly lavish and expensive Winter Palace. While Peter III falls victim to a conspiracy by his wife Catherine and army officers, leading to his own death, and the reign of Catherine the Great.

Imagine how long it would have taken for the message about the treaty with China to travel from Beijing to Moscow and back again
not less than year)
The Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed in Nerchinsk, Russia. I know it's still a far way from Moscow, but not nearly as far as Beijing.
actually horsemen could do it in a few days I think
Back then 10 years or so... hell those two Japanese army men thought they were still at war and thats the 21st century hahaha
There is a tribal group in Siberia. They think they r still under Russian monarchy
This was so exciting
When it ended I was like "SERIOUSLY ?"
You really have done a great Job
Thank you!
fantastic quality!! any chance of ww2?
+Epic History TV yea your awsome!
I dont shave!!!! But Putin does not make me pay beard tax lolzzzzzz But i don't drink Vodka!!!!! And i don't play balalaika. And i don't have a household bear that drinks vodka. And i am European/Russian.
This channel deserves more subscribers.
As a history teacher, I have to say your videos are excellent and I always recommend my students to watch these videos at home (if we don't have enough time in class). Are you hiring for positions in research assistance, narrators, etc..?
Thank you Chantal! That's great to hear. I'm not currently hiring - it's just me at the moment, and doing this between other jobs. But you can find out more about the channel at the website and get in touch with suggestions there - particularly interested to hear from teachers about what subjects would be useful in class / for homework. www.epichistory.tv/faq/
@@user-xq9bt9zm1z Can you suggest a better one or let us know your biggest concerns?
I like russian culture , history ,and people gagandeep7@gmail.com
I didn't know that Denmark and Russia has been working so much together through history
mother of Nicolas II. (Empress Maria Feodorovna) was daughter of Danish king. Danish duchy Schlezwig-Holstein was among other lands in title of Russian emperors from mid of 18 century. In Copenhagen always wandered many Russian nobles and members of tsar dinasty all 19 century. In 18 century Denmark was place of exile for deposed dynastic line of Ivan VI and Anna Ioannovna. And in cause of war Denmark together with Russia had to lock access to the Baltic Sea for enemy fleet.
Even Denmark royal blood in Russian Tsars,and Russian blood in Denmark royality
andrew kruse They both also had a shared rivalry with Sweden
They are Brothers vikings
And this is the peaceful and civilised section that every intelligent human will love
The best foreign (For me it's foreign) movie about Russian history I've ever watched!
Great to hear, thank you!
MrRussianMapper is the tg
Yes, this is an excellent, informative and entertaining presentation.
@@EpichistoryTv a lot of these is new for me. Hope it is close to the facts.
Thank you for the presentation. A Slavic Canadian.
Great video, but there's one request. Please evaluate the history very carefully when you reach the revolution and especially the Second world war.
These periods really hurt the Russian audience, especially when the author's position is reduced to the repetition of Hollywood films - as the stupidest and thoroughly false "Enemy at the gate", for example.
Your videos still seemed to me quite objective and accurate (some nuances to which you can find fault, crayons and do not deserve special attention, against the background of a fairly accurate narrative), and that's why I write to you with a request to continue exactly the same as it was until now. Perhaps for the first time I see in the video made in Western Europe or the United States accurate and fairly objective description of the history of Russia, without any politics and demonization. This is unexpected and allows us to hope that it is still possible to establish some kind of bridge for normal relations between us.
Therefore, I would like to suggest some moments that may hurt the Russian audience. This description of the revolution (usually demoniziruet Communists as evil villains, that is completely wrong. Their ideology is unusual, but quite humane, and after declassified archives of the Ministry of defense and part of the archives of the KGB suddenly yyasnilos that stories about the terrible Gulag - just nonsense for the most part, the GULAG - is the usual system of execution of sentences, something between the usual prison or penal servitude, which was used in the United States in the same years)
And one more thing - the description of the second world war. I would not like to see a common fake about the evil Commissars who for some reason are being driven unarmed soldiers at the machine guns. The ratio of losses between the Reich (including the Reich allies) and the USSR on the Eastern front is about 1 to 1.3, in figures of about 8.5 million against 10.5 million.
But in General, the USSR lost about 27 million people, and the remaining 16.5 million are peaceful people killed by the Nazis.
With respect, hope that you will remain objective and further.
This history channel is dank. Got to love the animation and narration.
dank?
"Dank" means damp or musty. But in this example my generation made it's meaning become good or great.
So he is saying "This history channel is good (or great)."
^ Correct.
I sexually identify as a dank meme.
Maptacularity what kind of dank meme?
I am a huge history buff and always want good informative videos when I go looking for stuff to watch. You guys are the best by far and are so awesome I don't know how to express my thanks and admiration
Thank you! You can always express it by helping to spread the word!
Hello Epic History TV. This video is very nice. You have my honor. And i am from Czechia. And i am happy for czech subtitles. The subtitles don´t have mistakes :) As i am slavic i like this video.
Czechs still consider themselves Slavs? I thought that Europe was already impersonal with new traditions and values. Probably, this is my mistake.
Epic, awesome and fantastic job! Can't wait for part 3! :D
Everything about this Channel is Epic. The narration, the quality, the animations and most importantly the VOICE!! Keep up the good work.
i need a part 3!!!
Give him just 5 months.
Please continue with all the history of Russia to the present day :)
Wow this channel is WAAAY AWESOMER than the History channel on television!
I came here because of The Great War channel. I can't believe I'd never found this channel. Great videos!
I just found your channel, and I think it is absolutely amazing! Keep up with these great videos!
Thanks!

There are controversial moments as it happens in history
the narrative, script, music, animations, everything so good wow!
I can say that this video really excellent for understanding general conception History of Russia. As for me, I could add many interesting things about Russian History
I am a bit disappointed that you did´t go more in depth about Narva one of the greatest military victories/defeats in history and how it lead to the reform of the Russian army and the comeback at Poltava
Sorry, a lot to cover in 10 minutes! This is only meant as a basic introduction, so people can get an overview of Russian history. I'll be returning to some of these topics in more detail later on.
@@EpichistoryTv you're right. To tell about some small period of Russia and convey a balanced essence in 10 minutes - you need talent. I hope that with such videos you will attract people to a more detailed and unbiased study of history, not only Russian. Humanity must go to the future, with full awareness of the past.
I'm not at all sure that the Battle of Narva (1700) would earn one of the greatest victory of military history, although in Sweden it has been considered among their greatest victories.
Swedish army by the way was half Finnish, but still the battle is poorly known in Finland (the Battles in the 30 Year War are better known). And it also had 500 men strong Estonian regiments of Swedish army.
Yes thank you I've been Waiting for this
Amazing video, as always!
Thanks.
Thank you ever so much for your precious historical documentaries! What a most wonderful channel!
That moment when you were almost conquered by Poland, but now you are a bad-ass superpower
Lmao Russia is not a superpower. That would require them to have military assets around the globe deployed if needed. For example, the US is the only country who can get to anywhere in the world with a task force in 36 hours. No other country can do that.
Always Use Ignocito lol ur using looking at it through much too modern a lens
Always Use Ignocito also is ur name supposed to be always use incognito??
Dakota Williams no it’s an optical illusion
J.Allan Langerhan ruSsia is the bigest country in the world...with GDP smaller than GDP of very small Italy...two positions lower on ranking. 30% Russians don’t have toilets.... roads in huge part of Russia don’t exists... don’t say about climate beacause Canada and big parts of USA have the same climate as Russia. It is not a superpower. 100 kilometers outside Moscow houses are wooden cotages....
This is absolutely incredible, I love watching your videos!
Thank you!

We should have done some history research before watching GOT, we've been caught doing the opposite

Some really good content, can't wait for part III.
great video!
Thank you for Japanese subtitles.
Novgorod was invaded 3 times by Sweden...when Vikings came there,, Sweden in 1612...and by Sweden again during world cup 2018
They played in another Novgorod, in Nizhny Novgorod ("lower", and novgorod means new city). Nizhny Novgorod is in Volga region, where Oka river flows into Volga. And that Novgorod (which we often call Velikiy Novgorod (Great) in on the North, near St. Petersburg
@@yunghussar8451 well I wouldn't say that "we often call" it so, since it's the official name of the city
Yesterday, I was wondering when you would upload another video. Great timing!
I want to see the great battles of Alexander Suvorov. He was a genius of tactics and strategy, such as it will never happen.
Suvorov will make an appearance in Part 3...
Thank you, I'll be looking
He was a murderer and a butcher.
@Pasha Staravoitau "Rebelion" :D :D :D. Rebels was the cossacks of Pugchew or Razin. Poles were independent state then, so that's the difference. Suworow are blamed for this unjustified crime which was slaughtery of Warsaw Prague. That wasn't any honorable victory for Russia.
That maybe, but he also usually had a numerous, or even huge numerous advantage over his oponents. And he often used that to push his troops into a foolish bayonet charges in which lot of them were killed by enemies bullets (Especially when he fought in second anti-France coalition in Italy and Switzerland). But of course he had some genius victories for exaple against Polish-Lithuanian troops under Stołowicze battle in 1771. Suworow is definitely notone meaning person... he had same bad, as good sides as a military leader...
I've been waiting! Yes!
I just found your channel, it is absolutely amazing!
Awesome video, always love your content. But in the video in 1686 the Holy Roman Empire is shown with the Netherlands still attached. Minor mistake, but the Dutch were away for almost 100 years. Also we (the Dutch) have still a lot of record that Tsar Peter the Great came to visit the Netherlands to ask for help on building a fleet, hence creating good relations between the countries. Alongside expanding trade between the Baltics and the Netherlands which the Dutch imported most of their wealth and grain from. Cant wait till your next video.
Thanks for the correction Freek, and the extra info on Netherlands. I highlight the Dutch Republic for Peter's European tour, so hopefully people will realise it was independent by that time, despite the dodgy map a few moments before!
Epic History TV It was not a problem, but as a Dutch I am way to proud to not see an independent Netherlands. :)
Epic History TV Keep on making video's your maybe the best History channel I have seen on youtube
Brilliant to hear, thank you!
are you the same guy that did the narration for the great patriotic war series?
Another wonderful video! Thank you!!!
wow, i'm not expecting russia got so many Female leadership! Great video as always i love it so much!
Thanks Reza
Female?
isokessu Knyagin’a Olga, Catherine I, Empress Anna Iohannovna, Empress Elizabeth, Empress Catherine || The Great. They were really good.
Russia loves the ladies.
You dont mess with any russian chick...
I want to know more about Russia 🇷🇺
awesome video! I'm really enjoying this series :)
Finally! Great job! :)
read "Peter The Great: His Life and World" by Robert K. Massie
it's like reading a novel
Peter the Great ist best for all long Russian history,it was amazing Tsar
Great book man, i read it few mouths ago. Has many pages, but it holds attention all way. Only downside of the book is that you have many people around him who are important, so is hard to remember them :D
Peter was Georgian,son of Erekle first,king east Georgian kingdoms(kartli-kakheti)
Best series on Russia I have seen.
Excellent work. Thanks.
Please Part 3 ASAP!
1612 year decided the history of east Europe, will there be a Great Poland from Baltic to Pacific or Great Russia.
God was on the side of Orthodoxy ;)
If term "God" means to you global corporacies and XVIIc banksters - then yes. Many muscovite boyars wanted the same privileges and laws that polish nobility had. They wanted to unite Grand Duchy of Moscow with Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
@@damianb8322
LOL
Thanks, but russians don't want to be poland's slaves as west-ukrainians.
The fate of western Ukrainians under Polish rule showed well what would have expected Russians under Polish rule.
@@Nick32010
What u call "western ukraine" ?
We have talking about XVI-XVII, that's right?
@@damianb8322
Territory of modern western ukraine in XVI-XVII was under polish rule. And there was no good life there for not-poles people.
So, thanks, dont tell us about any 'Union' state with Poland.
@@Nick32010 Lets clarify:
What territories of Commonwealth we discuss: XVIIc Ukraine or todays western ukraine territory?
Who was the Pole (or Polander) in XVI - XVIIc ?
And what is mean "polish rule" ?
Learning about the numerous conquests of Russia is fairly fascinating, but why are social, economic and political aspects mostly ignored in this series?
These are Awesome! Keep em coming!
Great video man keep on educating us about our history

Wow great channel! Hope ya don't stop here I'd love to see Scandinavia version. Thanks for upload
It's a historic mistake to name any territory' "Ukraine" before 1914. This name was never mentioned in any historic books or maps. East of Ukraine was called little Russia and West changed hands between a number of European countries. In other documentaries Germany is never mentioned until late 19th century and Italy too. Why such special treatment of Ukraine?
Your videos are absolutely fantastic! May I ask you where you from? P.S. Are you planning to make a video about serfdom in Europe?
Thanks! I'm from UK. No plans for a video about serfdom at the moment. First Crusade is next.

We want more videos!! Btw do you have any idea if you are going to make a WW2 series or even an ancient world series?
He is going to make a WW2 series. Just not right now. It would take too long and he wants to work on something different first.
That's right, want to explore a few other things before taking on WW2. Including some ancient history.. FB & Twitter for updates.
Please do Russian civil war 1917-1922, but remember The "Russia" is represented by the White army and we are the good guys, and REDS are international communists and don't represent Russia, and they are the bad guys. Communism does not = Russian, Russian does not = Communist.
WhiteSeaLeviathan that goes without saying
+WhiteSeaLeviathan it all represents russia. it's russian history, and in history there really are no good guys and bad guys. In this case especially, since if the loyalists won then russia would have remained in ww1, and lord knows how terribly that would have ended for them
Awesome work! Keep it up!
outstanding content , learning so much , going to watch all of these ..... this channel is amazing
Wow, that poor guy who lived his entire life in jail :/
Not STENKA Razin but a STEPAN Razin! This is the neglect of the name, like John and Johnny, Tom and Tommy.!
Stenka is his historial name as state criminal. There is no any official document, where he called as "Stepan", and more to use full name towards the state criminal was also the criminal case
Amazing, as always! :D
This Channel is amazing the best I have ever seen!!

Is there any European monarch whose work can compare to the achievements of Peter the Great?
Luis XIV, Philip II of Spain, Carlos V, emperor of Holy Roman empire, Napoleon Bonaparte
vinllga What sets Peter the Great apart from these rulers is that they led long established powerful states.France,for example,under Louis XIV,contained half the population of Europe and was the all powerful terror of the region.Peter had to create the infrastructure of the state;he built the navy,the standing army,cities,etc.In a span of about thirty years Peter transformed a medieval state into a modern power.I do not believe any European monarch can compare to this colossus!
bedstuy rover common feature of all those rulers is that they have very much respect to sciences and arts, and made their states more powerful and influential, for example Phillip II can united all kingdoms of Spaine in one state, Carlos V conquered the South and Central America, Luis XIV and Peter t.G. established effective scientific development, beginning from Academies of sciences and universities in their countries. Peter, btw, was the member of Royal Society, and diploma of election he was handed personally by Isaac Newton!
William the Bastard is the greatest European monarch. He united the seven kingdoms, created the Domesday book, and essentially founded the nation that would go on to be the most powerful nation on the planet without equals.
VintageLJ CharleMagne is more great. He founded three or four main European empires - France, Germany, Austria (Holy Roman Empire) and medieval Italy with Roman popes institution
And then things got worse... And then things got worse...
Silly American stereotype, which is contrary to logic and common sense.
Commie Its based on an old Russian proverb.
Heng Wu And how does sound this "old Russian proverb"?
Commie "Сегодня хуже чем Вчера, но лучше чем Завтра"

American wasn't even sperm when all these happened
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_North_America
Some would argue that. The first British colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Many of the people who settled in the New World came to escape religious persecution. The Pilgrims, founders of Plymouth, Massachusetts, arrived in 1620. In both Virginia and Massachusetts, the colonists flourished with some assistance from Native Americans.
Native Americans are considered US citizens and some natives of the Hohokan Tribe in the SW part of the Country have roots going back to the Pioneer/Formative period (AD 1-750).

People say that you can't invade Russia ground way. Well guess what, Poland and Mongols did that.
И где польша сейчас ???)))
Yes, but the Mongols are an exception. Its well-known.
Chris Forsyth
except, wait for it - the mongols
What is the Poland and Mongolia today?
Mongolia invaded 27 small states. It was more of a confederation than a whole country. Each of the states fought separately. The forces were usually 4:1, and Poland did not succeed
About Ukraine, don't want to insult anyone, but there were no Ukraine until the revolution. Ukraine in russian means: "The edge of the country" or "Okraina"
"Ukraine in russian means: "The edge of the country" or "Okraina"
" But Ukraine did not excist. Were is your logic? If Okraina excisted than it was the Ukrainian lands. But look up some historcial maps. There you will find "Ukraine the land of the Cossacks" All this "Ukraine never excist" is pure russian propaganda because in fact there was no Russia before Peter the first. Even in old cossacks folk songs you will here "Ukrajina".
Why should the revolution create "Okraina" or "Ukraine"? Where is our logic? Ukraine is the border of the Rus "the wild fields". People from the Rus fled to the fields from polish repression and create the cossack hetmanat on ukraine. After the cossacks were dissolve by the russian empire the people on ukraine started calling themself as ukrainians. The term Ukraine excist since the Rus it was a geographical term then an today the Name of a state which was created by the people from Ukraine.
"Kraj" means "homeland".

Russia's history is definitely unique and has highly been suppressed here in the US as far as teaching it.
Suppressed insinuates that it's intentional. Why?
