- After the expulsions from Western Europe, Ashkenazi Jews found a new home in Poland. In the 17th century, Poland was home to one third of the world’s Jewish population, and was considered the center of Jewish life. Polish Jews became prosperous economically and religiously, but also faced escalating persecution.
Jews were blamed for the Black Plague and the destruction of church property but the worst was yet to come with the rebellion of the Cossacks, a group of Eastern Europeans made up of runaway serfs, bandits and traders.
The organizer of this rebellion was Bogdan Chmielnicki, or “Chmiel the Wicked,” who banded the Cossacks and peasants of Ukraine into armies that led pogroms, savagely destroying more than 300 Jewish towns and massacring thousands of Jews over nine years.
Despite these atrocities, Polish Jewish life was slowly rebuilt, but Chmielnicki will forever be remembered as one of Jewish history’s unforgivable villains.

Also murderers of Polish people are national heroes of Ukrainians - UPA. I never understood why Ukrainians glorify murderers. It's completely stupid.
lew izrael ajzelman uciekł do izraela a nie na ukrainę. to izrael dał mu ochronę. a ten lew to nie był zwykły człowiek. to w ogóle nie był człowiek
@Fil M
Don't try pretend to be a guy with any knowledge. Your comparison expose clearly you are an pathological ignorant.
@Fil M
You just confirmed that Ukrainian glorification of murderers from UPA is based on arguments of uncivilized idiots. Thank You for your help to prove my message.
@Fil M Chmielnicki and Bandera did the same horrible inhuman genocide of Polish nation, then Pilsudski never did.
@Fil M you hate Piłsudski?:) this is very funny Piłsudski want to free Ukraine and nerver killed 100000 ukrainian women and Kids
Some Jews were hated by Cossacks and Polish peasants because, given special rights to collect taxes, in many cases they had increased burden of taxation to enrich themselves, or at least that what was believed.
Jews were collecting taxes for Polish landowners. They did have a rigth to increase the amount due. What yoy wrote about them taking more to enrich themselves is historically incorrect. Why are you making up stories is easy to guess.
@@jerzywieckowski7610 You have just confirmed what I wrote.
They are hated by anyone who lives next to them.
Whether that is in Europe or New York.
You failed to mention that the Ukrainian rebellion also claimed many Polish lives. And Ukraine contrary to what you said didn't end up free, the rebellion was eventually ended by Polish magnate Jarema Wisniowiecki, who punished many cossacks with impaling
Jarema was not Polish. He was Ruthenian catolic with Rurik blood in his wains.
@@kruksm3135 he represented Poland in this war
@@indianiecworld He reprepresented himself. He was little king with peronal army, in war with cossacks. Cossacks burned and taken ito slavery hes whole villiges to pay Crimerian Tatars for help.
@@indianiecworld he represented Poland in this war, but he was not a Polish and he not ended rebelion. Jarema Wisniowiecki was poisoned during the campaign, and the war was fought for 3 more years.
@@kruksm3135 All of us have different ancestors.
Jarema was Polish.
Ukraine was not "conquered" by Poland. The territories were part of the Great Lithuanian Principality and later became part of Rzeczpospolita.
That's what conquered is. No one asked permission back then
By ur definition, Africa wasn't colonised but were part of the European empires😂
@@josephstalin9357 That's precisely what happened. The King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania transferred southern Lithuanian territories to the Polish Crown during the Union of Lublin of 1569, because the local Ruthenian boyars wanted and pleaded with him and the Polish nobility to be incorporated into Poland to gain Polish rights. You don't know jack.
Africa was definitely part of the empire. Prior to that Sub-Saharan Africa was absolutely aboriginal. It was when these people conspired a world War which pulled European nations back into economic protectionism that Africa fell from the benefits and the africans blame European for their inability to maintain the standards given by Christians. Now most of sub Saharan africans are communist in the vacuum. Guess who gave them communism.
Hahaha it was definitely conquered by Poland… it was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth! 🇵🇱 💪🏼 🇱🇹
To say Ukrainian territories were "conquered" by Poland is a major oversimplification - but it's not entirely false. They were already under the rule of polish kings within Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was not really as Lithuanian as it seems on the surface, as Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian historians all see the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as their heritage. The Grand Duchy was Lithuanian by name and at the beginning it was started by Lithuanian tribes, but after conquering more and more eastern slavs tribes it was russified. By "russified" I mean adopting the culture of eastern slavs, not Russia, as Ruthenians, eastern slavs, formed variety of different "city states" - Rus of Kiev, Rus of Moscow / Great Duchy of Moscow, which later became Russia etc etc). Huge part of "Grand Duchy of Lithuania" nobility was in fact of Belarusian or Ukrainian origin.
So the Grand Duchy of Lithuania formed the commonwealth with the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Dukes of Lithuania became polish kings (starting a dynasty of Lithuanian origin, Jagiellonians). At the beginning there were two separate countries ruled by the same person, but after the union of Lublin, they became one federation state with the clear distinction between polish kingdom's territories and Lithuanian/eastern slavs territories. In the meantime Ukrainian territories were incorporated to the Kingdom of Poland from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (more proper term would be "transferred"). The ruler of both countries, polish king and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Zygmunt August, was trying to achieve federalization of Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth. The federalization was supported by Polish nobility and strongly opposed by part, if not majority, of Lithuanian nobility. Territories of Ukraine, which polish historians later called "Kresy" (btw, both terms - Ukraine and Kresy - mean more or less the same, which is "borderlands"), where transferred on the pretext of retrieving the "Red Rus", which in fact was conquered and ruled in the past by polish king Casimir III the Great during Piast dynasty at the begging of XIVth century. So there was some historic background to support polish claim to transfer Ukrainian territories from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. And yes, this move was aimed against part of the ruthenian nobility. Thus the term "conquer" is not true, however it's not entirely false.
In all European countries, pogroms and persecutions were committed every 50-100 years, history tends to repeat itself, that is, it is cyclical
That's not true.
Isn’t it crazy how it was for no good reason every single time?
@@redacted4033 its wild dude so crazy. Its like for no reason at all throughout hundreds of years dating back pre roman empire they get kicked out and “persecuted” for no reason.
At some point you would think people would start asking why?
Oh wait you’re not allowed to…hmmmm
@@redacted4033 Because people like you want to blame their problems on others because you're too weak to deal with them on your own
@@EL-oj6uq “how dare you criticize a people who talk about the destruction of your society and race as a central tenet of their ethnoreligious identity?”
There are historical falsehood here. In those times, there was no Poland per se but the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania which included Ruthernia (there was no Ukraine per se). The Cossack rebellion was against 'an oppression by the Poles.' The Commonwealth's king decided to reduce the number of so-called Registered Cossacks - the Cossack soldiers on the Commonwealth's pay roll. The Cossacks wanted the Cossack registry EXPANDED instead and wanted a was against the Ottomans which the king did not want. So the Cossacks rebelled and Chmielnicki joined them as their leader. Please be historically accurate.
There was Poland as the Kingdom of Poland, which was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What you write is incredibly stupid.
The citizens of Poland have the world's highest count of individuals who have been recognized by Yad Vashem of Jerusalem as the Polish Righteous Among the Nations, for saving Jews from extermination during the Holocaust in World War II. There are 7,112 (as of 1 January 2020) Polish men and women recognized as Righteous Among the Nations, over a quarter of the 27,712 recognized by Yad Vashem in total.
Respect ❤❤
@@esterherschkovich6499 Are you a Jew?
I've read several times in books over the years of a phenomenon that when a person writes a history of how group A oppressed group B, he's writing about group B. Because group B is the focus, the author fails to mention that group A did the same thing to groups C & D.
So when people read the story many years later they understandably come to the false conclusion that group A never oppressed groups C & D. I'm pretty sure this phenomenon has a name, but it escapes me at the moment.
Historical erasure or selective memory?
Hypocrisy?
"Historical Erasure" and "Hypocrisy". You'll cut yourself on that edge there, kiddos.
OC is right that most stories of oppression are told from the standpoint of the victims, to avoid appearing to justify the crimes and to ensure an emotional reaction to increase retention. It's not some agenda, it's just how stories are passed down.
As for the phenomenon, Gestalt psychologists would call it Reification, where people will see disparate parts of a whole and will assume how the rest of the story/picture goes, usually incorrectly.
A similar phenomenon would be salience bias because the majority of attention is on B. Or survivorship bias if C&D were wiped out and so B was the only one carrying the story forward.
True.i like to read another perspective
And today the Jew Żeleński plays Chmielnicki as president of Ukraine.
How can you call Poland opressive?
We were the only country where there was religious tolerance!
It's da cossacks
Yeah….. And why Cossacks were uprising.
Maybe coz orthodox oppressive?
@Polak And why a lot of people support Svidrigailo in his uprise?
Michael Glinskiy uprising, Nalivaiko uprising?
@Polak Why wasn’t knyaz Ostrogskiy chosen to be king of Rzeczpospolita(maybe coz he was orthodox)?
@@high4702 No, there was religious tolerance in Poland-Lithuania for a long time for centuries, and officially since the Warsaw Confederation of 1573. Zaporoże cossacks were rebelling mostly due to lowering of the Cossack Registry, then banning raids on the Ottoman Empire, and finally the Ruthenian-Polish-Lithuanian nobility not allowing the cossacks to get equal rights with them/nobility (be officially part of the Polish democratic system which allows to elect Polish kings). Combined that with the Polish-Lithuanian Sejm's (parliament) dissaproval of Władysław IV's war against Crimea and Turkey after the promise given by the Polish king to the cossacks of raising the Cossack Registry (up to 40,000) specifically for that campaign. All this together provided perfect "dried out" ground for someone to lit on fire, just like the biggest traitor of the Rzeczpospolita, the Polish noble Bogdan Chmielnicki did in 1648...
Bohdan Chmielnicki, Zaporizhia hetman, leader of the Cossack uprising against the Commonwealth, died on August 6, 1657. In Ukraine, he is considered a national hero. In Poland, many consider him a traitor.and this movie is so stupid.
exactly this video ìs made by some angry boy who like to lie
First of all, there is no described system of the Republic of Poland who was specific and there is no well described historical context of times too. In Poland, there was a noble democracy at these times in world dominated despotic monarchies and feudal system . Generally, the Cossacks rebelled many times and were not rebellion against the Republic only against individual magnats and nobility. Cossacks were people Zaporizhia strongly mixed with peoples migrating from the lands of the Commonwealth, etc. from reason regular Tatar invasions they created a specific military democracy conflict consisted in the fact that the Cossacks wanted to make there more registry Cossacks in the Polish armies on what was not able to afford Poland, they considered themselves as free people too what generated a conflicts becouse such a status in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had only nobles Polish and Lithuania who gathered in the Seym and decided about the country and elected the king . Conflict escalated in real hate to state from times Chmielnicki when this conflict strongly turned into real bloody conflict . In reality they cant get free status from any other country then Poland where was freedom of nobles any other countries it were despotic monarchies . When Chmielnicki later separated the Cossacks from the Commonwealth ( where there was religious tolerance ) they make many massacres of Jews this is true and this is little destroy hypothetical thesis too it was possible to give Cossack high status in Commenwealh of some nobles etc . Russia later destroy Zaporizhia sietch and their freedom
Bro make your own video.
And ? What did with Jews ?
That's a way better summary than I could've written! Thanks!
A complicating factor is that 'Cossaks' & 'Tartars' are umbrella terms. Both were composed of groups that had differences in language, history, religion, etc and they did not necessarily get along. An additonal complicating factor is that different authors would refer to 'the Cossaks' or 'the Tartars' while talking about completely different groups of people.
Poland and later the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth certainly made mistakes and local authorities frequently interpreted laws & policies in their own ways. However the fact remains that for most of its history Poland was much more open and tolerant of diversity than its despotic neighbors who seemed to spend a lot of time & energy kicking people out.
"...When Chmielnicki later separated the Cossacks from the Commonwealth ( where there was religious tolerance )...? that is why there were persecutions of Orthodoxy, pollination, and support for a disgusting mutant as uniatism? The support of Uniatism was a state policy, and it ran counter to the suppression of the interests of Orthodox people. For Orthodox people, the Pope is a satanist and nothing more. Doing subordination of Orthodox people to the Pope it's your tolerance? seriously? I do not know how it was possible to write such a thing
May HaShem punish the wicked murderer everlasting!This breaks my heart into pieces!
Who is HaShem?
I mourn with you my brother. The heartlessness is so astonishing. Shalom
The Ukrainians have so much Jewish blood on their hands. The pogroms, the Nazi collaborations, etc. May HaShem avenge the blood of His People.
On the subject of pogroms in the Ukraine, you should also do pieces about the Kiev pogroms of 1881-82, the the Kishinev pogroms of 1903-1905, and especially the Petliura pogroms of 1917-1920.
@Assismus What?
@@moshehim1000 I don't know what Assimus means vis-a-vis rabbis, but the Kishnev pogrom was a false-flag operation or something of the kind. The document presented as proof that the pogrom was ordered by Russian gov is fake and signature (von Plehve, if I remember correctly) is a forgery.
@@metrobusman8620 But the point isn't the Russian government, the [point is the Ukrainian people and their relations with the Jews.
@@moshehim1000 That is correct, certainly, but I think the original reference by ASSIMUS was that some of these pogroms were instigated by interested Jewish parties, like Zionists, to create political capital for their campaign. This has happened at least a few times in history.
@@metrobusman8620 This is utter nonsense; I challenge you to support your assertion.
I see the attitude towards Chmielnicki is starting to change in Ukraine. I'm very content with that, because Chmielnicki was the person that harmed Ukraine the most in its history, at least all subsequent tragedies of Ukraine are consequances of his actions (because he subjugated Ukraine to Russia via so called Pereiaslav agreement). We can trace them untill today. Chmielnicki was the man who dug grave for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and for Ukraine.
Poland oppressed the Ukrainians so it was not a better choice
@@josephstalin9357not Poland but polonized rus (Ukrainian ) nobles also in this time everywhere in the world peasants were horribly oppressed by nobles France, Germany ,China etc
@@josephstalin9357 I today's Ukraine there were Ruthenians nobles, that started to speak polish, some even changed faith. In this time any peasants where oppressed: polish,ruthenian, german,french etc. Chmielnicki made big mistake by joining Russia. This lead to losing any rights for Cosacks. Hate is never a good advisor.
I have to say that the Jewish population had it worse than any other minority when it comes to discrimination and persecution, Even before the Holocaust during World War II there were campaigns that targeted them especially in Tsarist times which is why many came to America in the early 1900s
But why?…
It must be a good reason why wherever they went they were always expelled or persecuted…
This makes me so angry.

not really the people. their smart leaders. the crowds are simply uneducated and hateful enough to follow. if you wanna control frustrated, struggling crowds, you give them a target.

Some scapegoats behave the way that you don’t have to encourage people to get revenge.
@@figofagonagoitis yeah, some people are terrible. even in scapegoat groups. but an entire group of people is always just a scapegoat. People can then encourage themselves (lynching), and their leaders, if not involved from the very start, use the 1st chance to lead them in their hate.
so yeah, people sometimes need no encouragement to become a lynching mob. But they are always encouraged, usually from the very start, sometimes from a slightly later point in time.
hate is such a force, it never remains unguided for long
they cant be that innocent
Not all scapegoats are innocent, just look at biden for example.

What about anti-Christian killings and massacures by Jews?
Great comment. These dishonest accounts of history do nothing for the problem the mass of jews face, caused by their own leaders. Expulsion from every country and once in the pale of settlement, 500 years of darkness on Poland, then Russia, then Germany and currently they're doing what they do. Only one with an honest take can see clearly what happens next and deservedly so.
The history of Poland is too difficult to you
Where your ancestors come from? Sweden? Lithuania? Belarus? Russia? Mongols? Germans?
Dear wojciech Poland is mixture of plenty nations. So is not exist omething like 100% pole
It is interesting that in Poland nobody wants to do DNA

Here in Poland we also dont like Chmielnicki, by his uprisign of cossacks he started series of wars in 1650-1670 that killed around 1/3 of population of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and destroy its economy more than Mongol in 13th centaury and Germans and Soviet after '39...
And fun fact:
If not WW2 and Holocaust there would be more Jews in Poland than in current Israel
I would call that a sad fact rather than a fun fact considering that we lost so many of our citizens (both ethnic polish and jewish polish) and such a big part of our vibrant unique culture

I agree, how could the jews lead a revolution in which they murdered 60 million Ukrainian and Russian slavs over the course of 1920-1950 in the USSR? Imagine purposely starving 10 million people in the Holodomor in just a handful of years because your religious text and culture says non-jews aren't human. Truly evil stuff.
The story is very, very one-sided which is characteristic of Haggadah, you forgot about the majority of victims, which were Poles, and you forgot to say that the Jewish Golden Age in Poland was paid for by the debt (today worth close to $20trilions) and never repaid to the Church and King...

XD
once again when Poles saved Jews
but still this video have much trouble about polish history and ukraine
for example, the Poles did not oppress the Cossacks and Ruthenians in Ukraine, but their situation was better than in neighboring countries.
I think you are speaking of the fact that the Country with the greatest number of citizens called Righteous Gentiles by Yad Vashem for actions to save Jews during the Holocaust
While there were many who helped, there were more on the other side. The Jewish Resistance inside the Warsaw Ghetto repeatedly asked the Polish Resistance for help and they refused. Jews who tried to join the Polish Resistance were often shot. You can't give credit to all of Poland for actions of the courageous few.
@@davidcohen7881 where did you get these lies? In Poland, few people collaborated, and those who did so openly were harassed by the AK.
But in spite of everything, in Poland there was no government collaborating with Germany and systematically issuing pesky as in France or Belgium. As for the Ghetto Uprising, the AK helped within its modest possibilities, supplying weapons and ammunition and attacking the outposts around the ghetto. And finally "Jews who tried to join the Polish Resistance were often shot.", this is big nonsense.
There was no case of shooting at Jews wanting to join the Polish Resistance. From where have this "Facts", because it is intersting.
@@davidcohen7881 The sad reality was that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising took place in April-May 1943 when German forces were still deep in Russia and Eastern Ukraine about to prepare the battle of Kursk which would bring the true retreat. The Ghetto Uprising had thus absolutely no chance of success as the Polish underground state had just started collecting weapons for a nationwide uprising when Red Army forces would reach pre-war Polish territory. A year difference was consequential here, AK had to be careful to avoid a city wide uprising before the Russians were about to storm Warsaw. As we all know impatience for this attack to take place caused the Warsaw Uprising to break out too soon on August 1st, over a month before the Red Army reached the city boundaries and the result was over 250 000 dead and the Polish capital being turned to rubble by Nazi Germany. Beside Assisting Jews in any shape or form was punished with the death penalty by the Germans since 1941, but what made it worse was that this punishment wasn´t targeted only to the individual but also the closest relatives. The murder of wives and children on top of you for helping a Jew is what reduced the number of people willing to rescue Jews as doing so didn´t only put your own life at risk but also of your loved ones. There were other reasons as well such as a majority of the Polish Jews not speaking Polish, but the germanic Yiddish, which created another barrierer and difficulty to hide individuals who would be caught at the first German control. But most of all the problem was had a far simpler explanation. Individual Jews who could escape and find shelter refused to leave their families behind in the ghettos. Let´s never forget that the 1940s was the absolutely worst decade in the history of Poland as it due to the Nazi-German occupier was turned into hell on earth. And it is our duty to never forget the barbarity in the early 1940s of those who started the worst conflict in human history, the Nazi Germans.
@@commonwealthrealm Eloquently explained. Thank you.
I don't know about the past, but nowadays the Polish people seem to be very anti-semitic. So I wouldn't be so proud.
Collaboration with the Germans during the Second World War is a sensitive topic in Ukraine today and is hardly known to young Europeans! Leading politicians also disagree as to whether the collaborators of the time are to be regarded as heroes or as criminals. In doing so, they provide a reflection of society. When veterans recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of the 14th Waffen SS Division “Galizien”, numerous younger people were also there. The highlight was a mock funeral of former members of the unit, the coffins covered with the Ukrainian flag, before which comrades in SS uniforms saluted. (Welt)
You have to understand that Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Ukrainian state are different things. Those who cooperated with Nazis in order to establish free (from Soviet rule) Ukrainian state could not be regarded as collaborators because USSR was a foreign conqueror, invader, oppressor. Nazis were seen as a mean for freedom. In the later stages of wwii when they understood that Nazis were not eager to liberate Ukraine, they began fighting Nazis and Soviets alike.
If you are fighting shoulder to shoulder with nazis it is doesn’t mean that you are nazis. USSR were dividing Poland with Germany, does it mean that commies are nazis? Does it mean that Finland is a nazi country?
And the biggest question:
People in SS Galicia were slavic. And Slavic people were one of that who should die due to nazis ideology. How can they be nazis if this ideology includes their death? They just used nazis like a tool to get independents
@@warlordfury4229 I agree 100 pct. It’s one thing to “collaborate “ with the Germans to fight communism and it’s another to help Nazis against Jewish people .

1:51 What's the name of the instrumental?
Ok, hold on a second. Finally of this, obviously important video is scattered into nonsense. Khmelnizki is not seen as a hero by official Ukrainian historiography. He was one of the Hetmans (Cossack rulers) with whom Soviet-era historians was OK simply because he was the one who signed union with Russians. All this statues and “honour” is legacy of a Soviet era. Kudos for highlighting such important topic but oversimplification of complex matters is never working well
To be fair 'is not see as a hero by official Ukrainian historiography' until 2014 you were ok with Chmielnicki
Oh, modern Ukrainian narrative again. If somebody tries to build at least a kind of relationship with Russia - he or she is true enemy. No matter, what your narrative says, Chmielnicki is a hero in your country, but will be never for us
Often the case, great liberties are yaken with hidtory, snd always theres tales of outrageous inhuman conduct. History I know, propaganda in every war its ghesame, vicious treatment that no man would respect o hopefully stoop to, allow in his ranks. Tales of butchery in pregnancy and throwing infants onto bayonets or swords, killing babies always gets my zuspicious nature going. Perhaps Im a contrarian or scientific life grants me skepticism.
Why were theybñmed for the black death, they knew .ittle of microbiology or svornce Asia? Could it be because it was an Eastern Asiatic disease and many jews were merchants of foreign goods reselling? They knew tales of Asia as travel was regular, attendance on foreign courts trade and we have evidence of birthplace and lives in DNA but individuals travels in childhood to adult death giving locations in teeth. I'm in no way saying killing a group is ever acceptable then or now in Gaza, five genocides going on thoughout entire life. Im genuinely interested, as they werecas human and capable of thought as us today. Seems Jewish folks are in a lot of hot water throughout history, surely a rational or could limitvthe few from causing misery to the entire group. Isnt there any good yo comevof all this suffering, not blaming victims in any way. My family on voth sides was massacred with a few surviving, and they werent of any Judaism in any sense outside of one living among them. Few write of other's atrocities. Outside of biblical suspect tales did Jewish folks murder whole races? Not speaking of Palestinians or Muslims, First Christians of recent and current day.
The greatest not in terms of killing number, or just Jewish? Must you be Jewish fir it to be a Pogrom, or any religion other levantines claims? Words matter.

I'm very glad the attitude towards Chmielnicki is starting to change in Ukraine, because Chmielnicki was the person that harmed Ukraine the most, at least all subsequent tragedies of Ukraine are consequances of his actions. We can trace them untill today. Chmielnicki was the man who dug grave for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and for Ukraine.
@Unpacked There are many historical errors about this piece. Firstly you called Ruthenian Nobles as Polish, The Little Kings as known in polish was all Ruthenian desendants of Rurik. There where no conquest of Ukraine by Poland. One of the Jaggielons (house from Lithuania) added Ukraine to Poland with the support of local nobles which aquired crest, got the same rights as polish nobles and got a seat in Sejm. Cossacks didnt want the independec becouse PLC gave them the most freedom that othere states could give them. They wanted to expand cossack register (more paid ppl, they didnt want payment in land). Ruthenians wasnt opressed, next king of PLC was Ruthenian. You probobly speak about class divisions. Veeeery shalow, you shoudnt touch politics and just focus on pogroms.
OP is probably a Jew! Jk.
@Kruk S&M, talking about errors, you sure got a load of them stored in your bowel. No conquests by Poland? What about Casimir's seizure of Lviv and all Galicia in 1349 when that region was weakened by a crisis in royal succession and numerous Tatar attacks? After that the region kept loosing more and more of its autonomy, the rights of Ukrainians kept being diminished through more and more discriminatory measures along with further expansions of the serf system. It's true the Poles weren't as sinister as the Russians after Ukrainian's alliance with Moscow in 1659, but Poles were nonetheless not that far behind in the nefarious designs that they bore for Ukraine, and conditions for Ukrainians were still very oppressive as most of the Ukrainian writings, songs, poems of the time describe and attest to. There was good reason why people were willing to sacrifice their lives in the 16-17th centuries in the fight for freeing themselves of Polish rule in their many uprising. You need to free yourself of age old propaganda and enlighten yourself on how things really were. You mistake the traditional Ukrainian disposition of fostering good relations with all people and Ukrainian readiness to help Poles in their struggles against foreign rule with the delusional idea that Ukrainians liked living under Polish rule.
@@sviat9729 Lviv wasnt siezed but inherited. You should now that half Piast ruled there
@@sviat9729 Like i said, problem wasnt Polish/ Ruthenian but class division. Do you know what means "tutejsi"? Polish setller was ruthenieze themselfs and Ruthenian nobility was polonize themself becouse polish was lenguage of politics. Even in Moscol polish was popular. Stop looking at history with your nationalistic eye.
@@kruksm3135 Casimir may have claimed with very weak justification that he inherited Lviv, but the population of lviv and Halychyna sure didn't agree and put up fierce resistance. Wikipedia: "During the wars over the succession of Galicia-Volhynia Principality in 1339 King Casimir III of Poland undertook an expedition and conquered Lviv in 1340, burning down the old princely castle.[31] Poland ultimately gained control over Lviv and the adjacent region in 1349. From then on the population was subjected to attempts to both Polonize and Catholicize the population."
And how many Polish Slavs were murdered during the coassack conquest?

And after Poland crushed the Cossacks, they turned to Russia asking for help.
At that time there was not such a thing as _'Ukrainian State'_ but a small area around Kiev.
All the coast on the Black Sea was uninhabited due to raids by Muslim Tatars from the Crimean Khanate, a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. Hence it was dubbed The Wild Fields.
When Russians defeated Tatars and took Crimea, they colonized the Wild Fields where the oblast of Novorossiya or New Russia was established.
The current Ukraine is a Communist invention carried out by Lenin in order to weaken and crack Russia in order to make her easy to plunder by Western Powers.
Something still longed and blatantly confessed regarding the rich natural resources in Siberia.
You forgot to add that it was also a promoted invention by the Austrians in their partition of Poland called Galicia, to weaken Poles and their separatist revisionist ambitions so the restoration of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland would be much harder. Divide and conquer.
First of all it not true that the Black Sea coast was uninhabited. There were people before russia came. Secondly, your story about Lenin’s invention is also bullshit because in 1917 the Ukraine’s people republic was established by Ukrainians and lenin had nothing to do with it

"And the masses that followed the Greek Orthodox Church became gradually impoverished.
They were looked upon as lowly and inferior beings and became the slaves and the handmaids of the Polish people and of the Jews.
... The rest of the Ukrainians, however were wretched and an enslaved lot, servants to the dukes and the nobles. Their lives were
made bitter by hard labor, in mortar and bricks, and in all manner services in the house and in the field. The nobles levied upon them heavy
taxes, and some even resorted to cruelty and torture with the intent of persuadinf them to accept Catholicism. So wretched and lowly had they
become that all classes of people, even the lowliest among them, became their overlords."

Rabbi Nathan Hanover was certainly an antisemite for writing such things. Just like the Cossacks, who allied themselves with their greatest enemies, the Crimean Tatars, who invaded the country annually and enslaved thousands of people (Crimean-Nogai slave raids in Eastern Europe), and later even swear allegiance to the most absolute ruler in Europe (Zar Alexei 1), solely because they were antisemites and absolutely not because of their miserable living conditions.

However one must add, in the 17 th century jews were not the only people massacred in the Commonwealth..due to many inner uprisings and wars on the borders as well as Tatar invasions, jewish, as well as polish and ukrainian peasants and citizens were massacred robbed etc. Of course jews were always a Group at high risk.. however the life was miserable for many other social groups

Incorrect map of Ukraine at 5:03 is all you need to know that Russian lobby is huge in Israel and this channel simply retransmits the same narratives about Ukraine Moscow does.
Will we see a video with Russian much more recent sins against Jews and an insulting map? I doubt that.
It's a shame you still haven't acknowledged Holodomor and ignore the fact that Ukraine IS a center of Jewish culture with lots of Jews, sinagogas, schools, street names, monuments and memorials.
Ukraine treats Israel with respect and this video says more about your channel than about history.
Ukraine does not treat anyone with respect and therefore no one respects it. As for the map, you Ukrainians can draw maps from the Vistula to the Don. Your sick nationalism always leads to crime and then to the collapse of your state. We see it today too.

Another cool hero that stood up for his people against the Talmudic people.

The Palestinians need to take a play out of his book.
It’s the Roman Empire Church propaganda you’re falling for, along with many still today. Daniel 7:24 vision - dream describes the last and final beast, and no other other fits it but the Roman Empire created christianity. Changed the times & laws. Our world calendar and got rid of the Torah - G-D’s Laws. The Vatican is also behind every global institution today. Wrong enemy, it was never the Jews, it’s the Roman christianity!! Daniel 2 describes its destruction in the end.
English created the Palestinians after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, WW1. They are mostly Jordanians and Egyptians.

Jews was massacred by the rebel of Chmielnicki, which was a rebel against Poland. Polish Prince Michał Wiśniowiecki defended and rescued Jews.
I suggest the audiance of this video to read "Abyss of despair" written by Jew Hanover Nathan.
Wolhynia is a painful history, and I don;t want to forget. At the massacre participated at most 5000 of 40 000 000 Ukrainian 0.125%.
Ukrainian and Polish people lived together. Usually a daughter went to church with her Mother while a son went with her father.
Ukrainian people never created their national country government. They need some myth -- I deplore it is Bandera. They don;t know the truth.
Author of this video exhibits malicious attitude by skewing trutht. Read the book written by a Jew.
That music in the background is so annoying, cut it out, the video stands on its own merits
My heart with those who died not with those who are massacring palestanians daily
Time to forgive and forget ❤❤❤
The oppresive Polish narrative is beyond ridicilous, in fact many Poles fought on the side of Khmelnytsky and many Ukrainians fought on Polish side. The whole rebellion is much more complex than modern idea of nationality...
3:55 so the Wolyn massacere wasn't the first time Ukrainians did that, strange nation.
The connivance of the few has always brought retribution by the many.
