Thanks for uploading again!
He got striked I guess
Was surprised to see this video deleted by CZcams Sunday morning.
Finally! I love how this video which focuses on foreign policy complements my own Poland video which discusses the challenges to the rule of law in Poland, the controversy around holding an election in the middle of a pandemic and Poland's tensions with the EU: czcams.com/video/wl9uuBdKvwA/video.html
@@coolguy3848 Yeah he got demonetized unfortunately
Hubert's accent comes close. But it's still not a real Shervan.
its actually annoying cause it sounds fake
I laughed my ass off when he said Hoobert
At first I thought Shirvan had just gotten a new microphone lmao
His accent is so heavy, it is difficult to understand.
Why do care his analyse is good
Caspian Report: Poland
Everyone: where's Shirvan
😂😂😂 If you're interested in Poland I made a video discussing the challenges to the rule of law in Poland, the controversy around holding an election in the middle of a pandemic and Poland's tensions with the EU: czcams.com/video/wl9uuBdKvwA/video.html
@@My_Take no
Nah, not following this guy.
Nah, we are not interested in this bullshit

As a lithuanian I am very grateful how your recent videos focus on my country and its neighbours.
yes, its nice CR doesn't focus on the West, Russia and China only, and if in multiple angels and plains
Синi Води! Дзяди воювали!
We should reunite and trounce Germany once and for all, such that it will never com back again.
Well, I'm glad I'm Australian. Our borders are our coastline.
Thats true about the Oz coastline , and an invasion through the Northern territory would be funny to watch. Any invading army would have to cross the red centre, and that would be logisticaly very difficult. However China is buying up small Island Nation states like Fiji with bogus infrastructure projects, so China will eventually militarise these small Pacific Islands close to Oz like thay already have done in the South China Sea. China is playing the long game, and choking trading routes which will strangle Australia into submission. Australia's Geopoliticaly remote position is kind of protection and also a problem. Australia depends on America for military weight, most of Australia's military tech is European and American so if trade is cut off Australia will only last so long. China wants America tangled in a war with another power which will move resources and intelligence to another part of the World. Once Australia is exposed and China has its permanent island military base chains up and running and controlling regional trade routes, Australia could fall quickly and easily. Not only that but an invasion of Western Australia, mainly Perth and the South West population centres, would be hard to defend from the corridors of power on the Eastern coast of Oz. Its a big place with spread out highly concentrated population centres and not much inbetween. Australia is a great country I visited for a year and travelled, but it has politically and economically opened its legs to China and allowed itself to be violated big time. An economy built on digging raw materials up and selling it to a totalitarian superpower that never plays by the rules will always end badly. China is making inroads into the most mineral and resource rich continent on Earth which is Africa. And once China is well into Africa it will drop an expensive and hard to corrupt state like Australia for easily exploited lawless Africa. China would not dare attack Australia while America and Europe are around, however once these two big allies are distracted Australia may become very vulnerable. America has more projected military power than China just now, but China knows this and will use different tactics. Economically Australia is already vulnerable as your Politicians have allowed your industry to die in favour of pathetic service industries, this is what has happened here in the UK too to a lesser degree. The West's own greed in pursuit of cheap unregulated labour means our own corporations and companies abandoned native labour for foreign shores, which goes full circle to China. China has become the Western worlds workshop through our Corporations own greed, we have deindustralised ourselves, lost generations of skilled industrial labour, lost our technical supply chains and lost our ability to produce industrially at any scale (except Germany). And we did all this by training up and helping China become a World economic superpower, we trained a dangerous totalitarian regime to become an industrial powerhouse through exploiting its cheap, educated and unregulated labour. The West created its own shit storm out of pure corporate greed and short term gain. China took advantage of our stupidity, we will pay for our arrogance. Australia is a great country, but it can be very vulnerable to invasion.
Lord Humungous
Britain should be your model man. If you guys had a navy equivalent to your size no one would touch you. Australia would barely need an army
@@JPOGers I think advances in missile technology and the opportunities it will open in assymmetric warfare will make both conventional navies and air force obsolete.
And boy am I glad to be a Kiwi because we are so geographically insignificant that no one would even think of invading.
@@nk53nxg Thanks for typing that up but I don't agree with most of it. If you would replace "China" with "USA" , then it would make more sense.
So Hubert is Shirvan's Polish friend, because Shirvan went to study to Poland
How do you know he studied in Poland?
At first I couldn't tell if it was Shirvan doing a Polish accent, or a Polish guest host doing a Shirvan impression.
@@My_Take Poland is a very popular destination for the post-Soviet youth. I saw a lot of Azeris in Polish colleges, so I guess Shirvan could be there too, since he now has this Polish mate
@@artur7301 Wow that''s pretty cool
@@My_Take Literally, 7 friends of mine went to study in Poland in the last 4 years and the ones who went for other Middle and Eastern European countries ended up in Poland as well. We love Poland for an obscure reason
I am more accepting of this guy since he has a similar accent
it's all about that exotic accent
He sounds amazing!
Agreed. If the accent was Australian or something like that it would feel too far off.
The accent feels familiar enough, but he is also speaking in a calm manner just like Shirvan.
The value of Shirvan is in his writing. But he can (and maybe has to) be supported by his team in research and narration. So this change makes sense, especially as i totally didn't expect a new video so quickly.
Are Shirvan and Hubert poles?
Who rules the heart land, rules the world island. Who rules the world island, controls the world. But, he who controls the spice, controls the Universe!
And Żubrówka is the spice. Everything makes sense now.
Spice must flow
@@heikkisallinen9012 spice will go on.
Nobody wants to be controlled. OK at work or school where there is a benefit. Neither of which I enjoyed much since it was all for the benefit of the accursed Bourgeoisie!
But Poland can not into Space.
Shirvan has a cult of personality at this point.
Other channels: does a collab video
audience: okay collab video time
Caspian Report: does a collab video
audience: Who are you and what have you done with Shirvan?
In all seriousness this is a great video. the idea of intermarium is fascinating and I can see it coming up again if the European Union ever fell apart.
audience: Why are you not Shirvan? Your accent is almost like Shirvan, just a little bit stronger, we can't tolerate that. You fake Shirvan!
Poland , the only country in the world which conquered Moscow - twice .
EU4 taught me this :D
Usually i dont like guest speakers, but Hubert did a really good job not much difference with Shirvan.
Hubert adds in deep and structured historical insights, doesn't he? Shirvan being a geographical top level master.
Poland: "Hey Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine....how about an intermarium?"
Russia: "No."
Ukraine: As long as the capital is in Kiev

Russia can kiss our ass we don't care... now when russia have problems with their gazprom they try to be our "friend" but besides that they only care about money and power but in future russia will got what they deserve...
@Bunyamin Esen It's simple just check it out what is going on there ... now they panic the largest company that maintains the whole state instead of gaining it loses profits... before it russia attacked us with fake news, hacker, political games etc. Now they bury one's head in the sand they even lost to PGNiG and they have to pay $1.5kkk to Poland... and now they trying to be a best friend with us that means russia is nothing without gazprom. UE still want to limit gas supplies becouse "Ecology"... and what then Russia ?
I'm not a English native speaker so it is hard to me to express myself. But all what i see is that the Russia has become weeker and still will be. In the future everything will be powered electrically so that means there will be no such demand for gas
As Ukrainian I support Intermarium as alliance of Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and other East-Central Europe.
Ukrainian history is as complicated and interesting as Polish and I believe despite our past both Poles and Ukrainians can have similar future!

There are borders for a reason.
How did you manage to spell name of Władysław Jagiełło 100% corectly? This ability is extremely rare among non-polish speakers.
He is Azerbaijani :)
Because Hubert is a polish name
im a native polish speaker but i moved out of poland when i was about 9 and even i can't pronounce it correctly 😫
I would say he's Polish but i don't know
mixererunio the accent sounds more like Azerbaijani one and Hubert may as well be a pseudonym.
It seems like Poland and Lithuania were so close throughout the history, but there is something separating the countries at the same time. Eastern countries could be strong allies. Great video and information about Poland history

Stop acting like idiotic fanboys, the information and is presentation is important, not the narrator. As an owner of this channel Shirvan decided to go this way, do not question his decision, he probably wants or needs more time for himself. He cannot shine upon you every time we get content. This narrator is good and the presentation well made!
Yeah id rather him work on scripts/research and pump out more episodes.
He's fluent anyway, just has an accent. It's always the anglos complaining about pointless shit like this.
Don't have to be rude. We are allowed to voice how we feel. Thank God I'm not a partreon customer.
Mihail Atanasov I think its fine to comment and question, but we should do so with our eye on what you say - Shirvan must make choices according to his judgement.
Watch any video of Templin Institute and then come to grips with fact that Larissa is leaving.

Best wishes from Ukraine 🇺🇦
I am Polish and I have some kind of special connection between me and people from Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine and Lithuania. IDK if it's due to our history but I feel we all are very similar in our thinking even though usually we have different opinions on certain stuff. In my opinion it's the proof that you can have different opinions but still be friends :)
So it seems that you definitely never met any Czech in your life then 😂
Why are people bitching about the guys accent, I can understand him just fine
The irony
Yes I can understand him perfectly
In fact, his accent adds to the charme.
Being unfamiliar with this region and thus no contextual knowledge, I can’t understand every 10th word or so, even with captions turned on. I also get thrown off by the use of Polish (?). I can’t tell if those words refer to a person or place, etc. I also don’t know what I’m looking at a lot of times - what are the photos about? This episode is not as well done as usual. It sounds like he is reading, not narrating/explaining.
Exactly, I would like to hear any native Englishman talk in another language without any accent.
Excellent video CaspianReport! Gives excellent context to the various challenges 3SI is facing, as CEE often sees it as a Polish imperial ambition.
By the way, are you Polish?
If someone pronounces Władysław Jagiełło that way - I'd wager YES
menthal not necessarily - would suffice him being from any Slavic speaking country to get the pronunciation right.
I know what you mean, but seriously some polish words can't be nailed down by Eastern or Southern Slavs. Not even even Czechs or Slovaks. He said pozdrawiam at the end, so this alone sounds like a clear giveaway.
Didn't want impede on you getting the answer from Hubert himself however, so Hubert - go ahead and clarify if you will. ✌️
menthal przekonamy się gdy Hubert odpowie!
menthal That is the Polish version of his name His real name would be Jogaila
Amazing analysis, thank you for great work, been pleasure to watch!
Let me give you an insight into the Polish nobility (szlachta) :-
a) they elected their king, who was rarely ever Polish.
b) they were entirely obsessed with their own status and
carried all their wealth on display : eg riding to town with another 6 horses in tow simply so people can see their wealth, eg shoeing their horses with gold shoes etc.
c) many nobles with voting rights were dirt poor and easily bribed : so the elected king was the one who bribed most liberally.
d) nobles didn't invest or modernise.
Between 1500-1800 agricultural productivity in Poland increased 25%
Compared to 200% in Britain and 100% in France.
e) legislation passed in the Sejm had to be unanimous : which meant any foreign power could block all reform by bribing just one impoverished noble.
f) Polish nobles believed themselves descended from a mythical Greek race ( Sarmatism )
They regarded Polish peasants as an inferior race to be subjugated.
That sound similar with the romanian nobility(boieri,eng:boyars) in Wallachia but only on their local power and corruption the throne was buyed from the Sultan and taxed out of the natives(tax farms is the term that they used for this places) and in Moldova a lot of betrayals like killing your brother at a wedding in fron of your nephew who will have his revenge and take back the throne,p.s.:also kill half of nobility to ensure his sons succesion to the throne.
Yeye, that's what all the plebs like you say.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression !
Its a Russian propaganda. We weren't an anarchic state, but plundered/destroyed by the Deluge (25% of the Commonwealth was basically destroyed)
You forgot the most important thing about them, they were the ones who initiated conflict with Russia
Hubert did a great job with this presentation. I really learned a lot in this report.
Intermarium is the best choice for nations situated between major Western European (Germany, Britain and France) and Eastern European (Russia) powers. Never again could those two sides take advantage of the proud nations in the centre!
Actually at its height, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was slightly bigger than the Holy Roman Empire.
Great job Hubert, quality of this video is top-notch.
"toi toinic knights" I love this pronunciation xD
He pronounced it like a German would. In German 'eu' is pronounced 'oi'.
Jan A. Kozák he pronounced it more like a german would, rather than an american. This doesn’t really make it german though
@@uroboroh But it's not called Teutonic in German.
@@Peace_Guard Yes, you are right, in German it is Deutscher Orden. But the pronunciation of the diphthong 'eu' is German. That is all I was trying to say.
@@uroboroh It's closer to the German pronunciation, but still with a heavy Polish/Slavic accent. I didn't realize until now how off the English pronunciation btw :)
Good job Hubert, very informative and comprehensive review of the Intermarium doctrine. Thank you for the video.
As Czech, I don't know how would I feel about Union where Poland has a strong word, no issues with the other nations.
Either way I think eastern European countries should co-operate much closely and create certain counterbalance to tandem Germany - France. We have have plenty things on a common agenda:
1. Agriculture in East Europe being ruined by unfair imports of heavily subsidised food from the West.
2. EU technical norms and legislation taylored to suit German companies and to eliminate foreign competition.
3. Stop and reverse left wing progressive agenda coming from Germany and France.
4. Strengthen and grow economic and military ties with the USA and Israel, lower economic dependence on Germany.
5. Decolonization of the east, e.g. mandatory labeling of the origin of goods on the EU market. Made in Poland, Hungary, Czech republic, Romania etc. instead just "Made in EU"
....
@@basilmagnanimous7011 Yes, absolutely! The Eastern European countries need to work closely together to free themselves from the German - French grip. The United States and in lesser extent the UK are the crucial allies.
I recommend book by George Friedman "The next 100 years - a forecast for the 21st century". I very much agree with most of his conclusions. Some of them are apparent already today.
Poland and Turkey will become major players in European politics and economics in this century. Political power of Germany and France will be declining.
The recent crisis in Ukraine shows that Germany and France would both be happy do sacrifice Eastern Europe and Ukraine in exchange for keeping relations with Russia. They absolutely cannot be relied on. Eastern Europe needs to construct robust infrastructure in north - south Direction which is inferior to west - east direction, strengthen its military cooperation, NATO membership and close cooperation with the US. That is the way forward. 👍

If Poland and Ukraine won communists in 1918 - 1920, maybe there does not occupation of Ukraine and Poland. So we cant make this mistakes in the future. Greetings from Ukraine, Kyiv.
Very interesting and historically in-depth material.

Lithuanians had their own uprisings, too. I'm not sure about other countries, but I believe some other countries had them too at the same time.
It was basically a trend. Once a generation Moscow had to deal with massive uprising on the territory of former Commonwealth
most of the times we did it together in tight cooperation
Pax Sarmatica not exacly
@Pax Sarmatica I think what he meant by saying "not exactly" is during the uprisings there wasn't one unified force to fight against Russians, as in even the rebels didn't know what they were fighting for, especially in 1832 uprising: were they fighting for the restoration of Commonwealth or the independence of respective countries. Such trend also continued in 1863 uprising, where two oposing factions were present: reds and whites.
Raceris Exacly
very informative and thought-provoking. thank you for the video!
A crisp, concise summary of a major part of European history.
What runs through it is the dispiriting drag that trivial border disputes have put on large-scale proposals.
I can say from my own experience that there's always a natural social ease in company between Balts, Poles, Hungarians and others of the Commonwealth, which must have made it work.
As the author concludes, it may be that the rapid changes in power distribution coming up could make a renewed Commonwealth not just feasible but essential. Let's see.
Russia or Germany do not want a strong bloc of countries in Central Europe. They will play to break. Especially Russia, which is economically weaker and weaker. It will try to generate problems between the countries of the region.
The whole project has a chance to be completed when both centers of power from the east and the west weaken plus the protectorate of a strong external center. Or at the moment of total chaos.
If you look closely at what is happening in the world at the moment, each of the elements I mentioned is happening right now. The last condition is still ahead of us. If the peoples of Central Europe have the will, everything is possible.
Wasn't this video already uploaded a couple of days ago?
Look at the community tab, Shirvan reuploaded it so that it could be monetised
CZcams said no, had to go through a manual review.
It got deleted, they probably needed to polish some things

i didnt even notice there was a new narrator at first, this is great!
Some one have read Jerzy Bartosiak Books I see. Good.
The thing is that idea of proper Intermarium is in direct opposition to the project of EU as it is now. Especially for Germany who needs Easter Europe as as source of cheap labor and extended market for their production.
Germany needs stable but divided Eastern Europe where their superior economical strength can Secure them maximum profit through political negotiation, something that would be hard to do if East European States would for a single negotiating block.
There is ofc the threat of Russian aggression as they cant accept re-establishing of Commonwealth 2.0 and Internal instability of multi - national/cultural/ethnic "federation" ( look how "stable" EU is).
Chyba Jacek Bartosiak.
Both Shirvan and Hubert's accents are *way* easier to comprehend for me (a non-native English speaker). These videos are crystal clear because of it. Thank you.
I think most of us have english as a foreing language (not native english spakers), so somehow listening content with a strong foreign accent (though ironically more undestandable as the letters are stronger pronounced) is appealing and adds even more desire to view the content, appart of the ibtrinsic quality of this channel, good voice and work.
This intermarium idea may be coming to fruition, I recently heard Zelennsky make a comment about an alliance between Ukraine, Poland, and Belarus will have 90 million people and will not be a vassal of Russia.
Zelensky clown, Anglo-Saxon puppet. There will be no intermarium, these are the fantasies of the Poles.)

Качество материала, графика, монтаж на высоте! Авторо спасибо за труды!
Hello I'm Polish. I am of the opinion that together with the Czechs and Slovak we should create a federation something like the Great Britain. Together with Poland potential, mainly due to location, surface and natural resources, we could build great strength, not only in Europe but also in the world. It would give us 53 million people, a big army, 440,000 km and nearly one trillion PKB of surface area with access to the sea, which opens our way to the oceans of the world. Everything due to the fact that we are close ethnically, culturally and linguistically.Of course, for this to make sense and to be safe for us, we would have to get rid of corrupt politicians implementing foreign agendas, mass migration, but most of all the special services and residents of such a federation had to be completely loyal to each other without looking at history and their private views.
Hear hear! 👍
Sorry but at this point it's more of wishful thinking, eu project seems to have more potential, it's not like it's stupid, just 20-30 years too late.
However:
- so far Poland missed brexit opportunity to be one of decisive powers in eu
- weimar triangle talks pretty much stopped
- eastern eu countries can't really agree on anything
- Polish goverment prefers usa military power over eu economic connections
- shift from germany to uk as main eu ally wasn't that bad idea, however it was very unfortunate, and left Poland in a void for a while.
Ofc, it is still possible to create central european block inside eu, and this might be the best option, however current goverment needs to shift it's focus from usa to eu.
Fortunately they are trying to talk with eastern eu countries, however poland's position in eu is too weak to create strong ties with Czech, Slovakia, and baltic countries.
When Poland will get involved in eu and find comfortable position in it might be quite easy to create easter block in eu which will be strong enough to rival Germany-France allience.
@@Kocan7- Let us remember that we were entering a union for economic cooperation between nations in Europe and not for it to make states and nations disappear in Europe. This was not the case in the referendum, and you must defend yourself and your country against such a thought.The European Union is an organization. Not the state!
@@hubertszadurski3344 I wasn't writing about that.
Let's think for a moment, and leave aside our personal views.
Ofc, there are many forms of integration like common foreign policy or army, but let's talk about most drastic one.
In federal eu Poland region would have 5th in population, that means politicians and parties would need to seek for votes of Poles if they want to be elected. So the risk of being under Germany and France influence is lower than currently.
Also it's very good way to be big when we have giant rivals: usa, china, russian, and soon india.
If federal eu is possible countries would be more or less like Texas, with very strong Texas identity and patriotism.
This is impossible in short or medium term, eu, as you said wasn't meant to be one country, things like second common language in every every office would be mandatorry and the same language teached in schools, to even seriously consider idea of eu federation.
Ofc the largest hurdle are politicians, most of them would loose their jobs, or loose most of their power, integration is not in theirs interest.
Also too many normal citizerns in eu view eu as "them", not "us", they would need to feel as Polish/Chechs/Portugals and Europeans at the same time.
Those are giant problems in eu integration, because as you said it wasn't meant to become single country,
@@Kocan7- Note that countries such as Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom are in the top 10 largest, richest and most technologically developed countries in the world. They do not have to race against China, America or Russia, which is not very rich compared to these countries, destroying their national identity by some utopia of the European Union. Europe is a continent of many nations with the right to self-determination in their own country.
As a Pole I want to congratulate you've done the good job.
Good video, thanks!
Do you need to have an exotic European accent to become a narrator for this channel?
Takase C Yes, they tried an American once and it was awful
@@wayne7055 In which video?
@@tiagolucas6499 Something about cyber-security if i recall correctly
I think it is necessary for we Americans to get our heads out of our asses and listen and learn other languages and accents. Also, it's not exotic, and I doubt this channel Is US based. Many people speak English as a second language, including Azerbaijan's like Shervan
This is time for restoring this old concept! ResPublica = PL + UA + BRUS !
wow... i thought to myself where is Shervan. But when I heard "Hi I'm your host Hubert" I was like OOOOH
Wow, this was refreshing
Why did the previous upload got demonetised in the first place?
I would like to know too? Why was it taken down?
I am interested too! How does the demonetising work? I thought they demonetize only videos with problematic content - like violence, swearing, and so on. This is education. Why demonetize it?
Yeah. We Slavs needs to stay together.
Especially the Slavs Balts, Romanians and Hungarians :D
Balts aren't slavs
@@deivydasbaksa3324 Romanians and Hungarians too
@@deivydasbaksa3324 Neither are Romanians or Hungarians.
The best bet for eastern Europe is to form a strong bloc of people that wish to preserve traditional Europe and they try to spread their influence and reach to other parts of Europe while remaining independent. Europe needs heroes right now to fight off liberalism/neoliberalism from the west.
Finally it’s up!
Glad this is back up.
I want Shirvan
Polska strong!)
Welcome Hubert!
Ignore the haters. The more Caspian Report, the better. The video cut off before your tag line though
I had always been curious to know what happens in eastern Europe. Never get too much info coming from there.
From Canada! Cheers
Thats because the USSR Iron Curtain came down and only whispers were heard. Travel was restrictsd to the West!
If you can’t beat them, intermarium
I came for Shirvan, im stay for the analysis.
Great video LT
How did you manage to get the video back on yesterday it was removed
