I listen to and review the history and lyrics behind the song by Jerry Heil. I do not own this music or any of the images shown on screen. All credit goes to the creator.
Thank you for supporting Ukraine. I am a Ukrainian and read and studied the history of the Cossacks a lot, if you remove all the myths and propaganda, then the Cossacks look like pirates of the Caribbean base, they were fugitive nobles, sailors, soldiers, criminals, as well as adventurers and people who were looking for freedom. Pirates, like the Cossacks, did not care at all what faith you were or what nationality you were. Like pirates, the Cossacks lived in the region between the strongest empires, the Cossacks lived off hunting, fishing, trade and war, they sold their skills to those who would give a good price. The pirates did the same. The pirates had their own code of honor and their own rules. Cossacks are pirates of the steppes.
Thank you a lot for the reaction=) Couple of other suggestions: YARMAK - Дике Поле (eng. Wild Field) - though it has less to do with history, visuals and lyrics (especially visuals) are fantastic. YARMAK - Хай нам брате пощастить (eng. Let us be lucky) - shows the short videos of our fighters in action at war and who they were as civilians before joining the AFU. Pretty follows the same spirit of what you mentioned in this video about Cossacks- people of different languages, professions, and background joining against a common enemy. Thank you one more time.
Hey, great video! Wanted to point out that at 9:08 you're pointing at Crimea and not the Kuban. Kuban is more to the right, on the opposite side of Azov Sea 😇
Ukraine is a descendant of the Cossack state Hetmanshina, back in 1669 the Cossacks called themselves Ukrainians, and their state Ukraine (Letter of Peter Doroshenko and his troops to the Turkish sultan) Ukraine is older than Moscow propaganda says;)
Swamp alludes to the fact that modern day Russia can be traced back to the swamps of Muskovy, not Kyiv, like they pretend. The swamps of orcs from Mordor has its equivalent in the mud of Moscovy.
Thank you for your words of support) I advise you to review the track “YARMAK - RAGNAROK”. There are quite a few historical Easter eggs in the words. You will like the lyrics)
Mr. Overby! I'm Ukrainian and I do speak English. I really adore videos you're making for your students, but you have soooome liiiitle wrongs in your explanations. Actually from Ukrainian point of view this littlle things are near to insults. If you want, we can talk of this,based on you previous videos or even make a live talk with your students or just one-on-one. Regards, Be safe. Glory to Ukraine.
Yarmak- хай нам брате пощастить

You have great content. Many cultural traditions and our actions contain origins in our history. Greetings from Kharkov.
I have been looking for a video like this since I first discovered the song, which I love! Thank you from Sweden!
Could've made a better reaction, so much interesting info. well done 👍
