In Iran, we still call them as the Rus people. and Russia also used to be called as Orus up until 100 years ago.
Iranic influences on Slavs are fascinating. Most of Iranian vocabulary present in Slavic languages has something to do with the religion - Bog/Boh - God, Ray - Paradise. It's just so strange for Slavs to adapt Iranic words for something as fundamental as religion itself.
Well, yeah, in terms of linguistics, both Slavic and Iranic are descendants of Indo-European. Slavic and Iranian languages are closer to each other than to Celtic, for example. (Some years ago I've worked with some Iranian woman and I was suprised to learn how similar the numbers are) But in case of the vocabulary that I've shown, they are clearly Iranic loans.
Not really. I mean, Indo-European is said to had originated there, but Slavic branch of it had it's origin further west. Sassanid connection isn't even necessary for those loans. Most of the Eurasian steppes, from Ukraine in the west to the Caspian and beyond in the east were fully Iranic speaking. Only some time after the fall of western Rome, Turkic nomads had replaced Iranic ones.
Vitalis: it may not so much have to do with Iranian-Persians as with Iranic-Scythians (Sarmathians, etc.), who ruled the steppe until the Turkic Huns took over. It's believed that Ossetian language derives from Scythian, although Ossetians themselves are probably more Caucasian than Steppary in terms ancestral-genetic.
I've never mentioned Persians. I clearly stated that Eurasian steppe was once fully Iranic speaking, no?
Thanks for collaborating with me Epimetheus, Awesome video!

Epimetheus Thank you for mentioning the Novgorod Republic. It was a part of the Hansa trade union. By the way they were not a part of the Golden Horde formally but they paid a tribute. Anyway the Novgorod mercenaries (kinda of river pirates paid by the Novgorod merchants or boyars) robbed and killed the Mongols periodically.
Moscow does not like to remember the "Novgorod separatism" usually. It's a historical term.
Awesome work!
Thanks! :)

Rus’ ought not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’.
Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.
Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”.
Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’.
In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership.
“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.
Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine.
And after the Battle of Hastings, many Anglo-Saxon nobles became part of the Varangian Guard. There was actually an English quarter in Constantinople in the 12th century, which to me is mind-blowing, the idea that Old English was one of the many languages spoken there.
Roman and Byzantine empire's were their days USA, multi cultural powerhouses that ended up falling like all empires do. There was an English quarter, Scottish, as well as Finnish in the city if Bergen Norway, gang violence between scots and brits were quite brutal. Just that small port city part to the north had a sea battle between the Brittish Fleet and Dutch east indian trading fleet. All around us is amazing history, it is a damn shame history in school doesn't focus more on it
@@INSANESUICIDE I agreed, the world has always been multicultural and connected. The silk road was ancient international capitalism.
12th century would be middle english
@@mpforeverunlimited The 12th century was a transitional period. The OED gives a start date for ME of 1150. Late OE texts date from 1150-75 (The Soul's Address to the Body, the Peterborough Chronicle). I doubt seriously that the Old English spoken by the vast majority of English people abruptly changed to (the radically different) Middle English a mere 34 years after Hastings.
@@INSANESUICIDE Check Abc of truth for more amazing facts
_Ivan the Terrible_ was probably known more along the lines of _Ivan the Terrifying,_ as in scary, not so much bad.
In Russian he is called Ivan Grozniy which come from word Groza - thunder storm. And basically translated the Ivan the Menacing with a little good meaning that he is a menace to his enemies.
@@maxts784 The daisy chain of information that is the internet never ceases to be very nearly on the dot for me. Thank you for the elaboration.
@@maxts784 Not just to enemies tho, but rather to everyone around him.
As a Russian, I am delighted to read this from non Russians. If I was to take a pure guess, the "terrible" cliche came as some form of propaganda by the English....our never ending mortal enemy...
Ivan is known in Swedish history for the letters he sent to king Johan III of Sweden. The Swedes were unable to reply to the letters at first because there was no one in Stockholm able to translate them. Wishing still to maintain diplomacy, a small group of Swedes traveled to Moscow, but upon arrival they were robbed, beaten and held captive for a year. Once the letters were finally translated in Sweden King Johan III understood he and Ivan were not gonna be friends. First Ivan declared that Sweden was a vassal to Novgorod in the past and thus the tsar was of higher standing than the man of a peasant (asserting to Johan's father who founded the Vasa dynasty). Furthermore Johan was to send his wife Catherine Jagiellon to Moscow along with their son. Lastly Sweden would have to pay tribute equal to the annual yield of all the silver mines in Sweden.

Priyank having no subscribers is a mean feat. People must just hate you.
Note that "Ivan the Terrible" is a mistranslation. The Russian word for "terrible" is "ужасный", and that is not what the Russians call him. In Russian, he is called Ива́н Гро́зный (Ivan the Formidable", and he is viewed in a much more positive light in Russia than he is in the West.
Thats not uncommon in history.
Generał WP you forgot to mention Peter the Great 😀😀😀
lol, what? No he's not. He killed his own son, that's not positive
Ivan "the ugly"
I think "groznij" can mean something like Scary/Cruel which really makes sense since he has beaten his son to death.
As an Indian, I’m quite interested in Slavic history. I’ve read the Indo Iranians were closely related to the Slavs before leaving for Iran and India.
Also, I’ve seen many videos showing the similarities between Russian and Sanskrit words and sentence structure.
Yeap even they share the same dna R1a which modern day iranian has and most part of india has

You should not compare Sanskrit with Russian. The Russian language emerged as a mixture of the Old Bulgarian language, Ukrainian, Novgorod dialect, Finnish and Mongolian. The basis is certainly Bulgarian through Bible scripture.
The Russians in most of them are not Slavs. They do not even understand other Slavic languages. They laugh when they hear other Slavic languages. They laugh as they hear a familiar word roots, but do not understand the language itself.
If you want to see the similarity of Sanskrit with other languages, then consider the Ukrainian and Bulgarian. These two languages are slightly closer to the original ancient language than Russian, which is the compilation of other languages.
@@michajerchel7350 no doesn't make since at all
incredibly many mistakes.
1. Eastern Slavs never fought against Sarmatians in those lands. Those lands were populated mostly by Ugro-finnish tribes.
2. Archeology shows that Slavs arived close the same time as Scandinavians.
3. The most ancient city was Old Ladoga. It had a mix of different cultures, mainly Slavic, Ugro-finnish and Scandinavian. So it was more like a multiethnic trade hub.
4. According to main chronicle, Rurik(not Eric) and Rus' were invited to rule by four tribes: two Slavic and two Finnish ones because of internal conflict between those tribes. Three brothers came, Rurik built new Ladoga, other two brothers set in Belozero and Izborsk. Novgorod was built by Slavs close the same time. The invitation and foundation of Rus' state happened in 862 year, not in 882. Decades later in 882 Rus' conquered Kiev, that was a Khazarian tribute city, and moved capital there.
5. The Mongols destroyed not only Kiev but nearly a half of Russian cities were destroyed, many of them were never settled again.
6. Mongols never entered Novgorod. They made it a trubute state without invasion. Other principalities became also trubute states and never were a parts of Mongol empire. Mostly because Mongols settled only in steppe region and didn't do that in wood steppes.
7. Right after Mongol invasion the Pope claimed a crusade against christian Novgorod republic instead of Mongols. So Alexander Nevskiy fought several invasions of crusaders.
8. Ivan III didn't kill or enslaved population of Novgorod. That was brutal but not worser or better then any other european wars of the time. That was a war because of "gathering the Russian lands" Ivan's doctrine and control over trade route from Baltics to Caspian and Black seas.
9. The Tsar title arived not just because of byzantian princess but because the fall of Byzantine empire. In 1453 year Ottomans sieged Constantinople and ended the days of Eastern Roman Empire. Russia became the main state and the last bastion of Eastern Christianity in Europe. Rurikids had blood ties with emperors for hundreds years. Sophia princess brought two headed eagle banner of the dynasty with her. So, her son Ivan IV raised fallen banner of Eastern Roman Empire and Eastern Christianity. He took the title tsar - ceasar, two headed eagle as a banner, and the idea of third Rome. Since that time till the end of Russian empire Russia determined itself as the defender of Eastern Christianity. Understanding of it can better describe so many wars against Ottoman Empire later.
1. No - he meant the Southern plains. The Finno-Ugric tribes never did live there, but in the forest areas. The Sarmatians were the threat, to Kiev and other Southern Russian cities.
The Finno-Ugric tribes were often peacefully uniting wih the Slavs, like the Nestor Chronicles show some Ugric chieftans being leaders of the alliance with Kiev, for fighting against the Khazars and other nomadic tribes of the steppes. And they were along founding Novgorod and even Moscow.
@@timomastosalo There are no sources proving that Slavs fought against Sarmatians in Black sea steppes. It could be, but there is zero evidence.
Novgorod was founded by Slavs, you can easily check it by the name, it is Slavic.
Moscow was founded by the Russians, they could be of any ethnicity. Archeology did not find any settlement before 10 cent. Seems like this city was found as trade forepost and customs point of Rostov-Suzdal principality on Baltic-Caspian trade route. It was decades after principality's creation and hundred years after Slavs arived there. It is well known fact that Rostov-Suzdal principality was found by Novgorodians. Later, during Mongols invasion many people from raided southern territories of Rus' settled in Moscow. That is the reason of fast rise of the city.
@@fedorevdokimenko3978 you are right because Sarmatians and Svythians were proto-Slavs.
@@sportsfisher9677 No the were not. Schytians were iranian tribes by language. Slavic languages have very small amount of Iranian words. Sarmatians came from the east of Urals, where Slavs never settled. Seems like Sarmatians mixed with different tribes, Scythian, Germanic and Slavic when they moved west to Europe. So it is rightfull to say that many different tribes keep some Sarmatian notes in their culture but that does not mean Scythians or Sarmatians were proto-Slavs.
@@fedorevdokimenko3978 Yes they were. Sorry Dude, you Need to do more research. Check out a video titled Scythians are us. Slavs come from Svythians, Sarmatians, Baltic tribes and more. It's already proven scientifically.

Good video, but now you absolutely have to do something about the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth! Among many other reasons, to explain how the Rus become not only the Russians but also Belarussians and Ukrainians.
Random fact...over my fireplace I have a big epic drawing of a winged hussar:)
Nice :)
Epimetheus I hope, it will inspire you... :)
Lukas, "ukraine" means "окраина" (the edge of the country), "ukrainians" means a resident living on the border. In Russia, there were several territories called Ukraine during the Empire. South on the border with Central Asia, East to the border with China and Western border with Poland. Cossacks living on the borders are usually often called themselves Ukrainians, which meant essentially "the guards of borders". In the 19th century, the most popular was a special mixture of culture, where Russian culture met Polish as a result of which Ukraine was mainly called one single zone on the western border of the country. At the same time, the Ukrainians became increasingly saturated with nationalistic spirit and declared that they were separate people. But no one took it seriously, until the USSR, which, in exchange for joining its membership, promised to recognize the Ukrainians as a separate nation and even to allocate their republic to them. So Ukraine and Ukrainian nationality appeared, which, with the collapse of the USSR, became a separate country. the end
Even Gogol, one of the most famous Ukrainian writers, called them Russian. He lived in the 19th century, this is history and it is impossible to argue with it.
I recognize that Ukrainians exist, they have their own language and country, I consider them a full-fledged nation, they came from the same culture as the Russians, but separated from Russian culture only a little over a hundred years ago and argued that such a nation as Ukrainians were stupid during the Kiev Rus. The country was not even called the Kievan Rus then, this name was invented by a Russian historian in the 19th century only in order to divide different periods of Russia, for example, Novgorod Rus earlier and Moscow later. Vladimir Rus and Murom Rus. These are the invented names in the 19th century by the Russian historian.
Belarus went a similar path, but it was at one time part of the Lithuanian but nationality and a separate state was also thanks to the Soviet Union.
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
Tatars was not only how Russians called Mongols, though. They were their own tribe, that traveled west during Mongol Conquest.
Tatars were a group of Turkic peoples indeed but I doubt they traveled with Mongols since Mongols made a massive genocide to them, killing every male taller than a cart's wheel systematically. AFAIK they also existed in other areas prior to Mongol expansion,
But weren't Tatars present in the Mongol army after Mongols subdued them? Yes, they were genocided, but not entirely. The survivors became part of the Mongol Empire and AFAIK they moved west during the conquests of Batu Khan. Alongside them, many Turkic speakers accompanied them.
I think we're talking of different Tatar subgroups at differnet moments of Mongol expansion, the Tatar genocide (which I heard of in a history channel here at YT but for which I can't find confirmation right now) was with the Tatars of Mongolia, the Tatars of Batu surely were other Tatars from further west, as Tatar seems to mean just "Northern Turkic".

North America English (USA/Canada) is the only place I'm aware of that pronounces u as a short vowel. All other languages pronounce it oo as in zoo or uzi. If you look at the stand alone vowels, we have fluctuating pronunciations depending on the context. Other languages (with the exception of British English) pronounce those vowels one way only. They are consistent every time. An example is "i", it is always pronounced "ee" every time. Our language plays fast and loose in many regards. This makes it difficult to learn.

Russians Ukrainians belarussians all used to speak the same language Slavic(Eastern) and still have the same values and traditions. They all came from the Kievan Rus. We all consider ourselves the same or brothers and sisters. The only difference is political and the governments(specifically Soviet Union) which made us hate each other.
Daniel Shifron I agree that both Russians, Belarussians and Ukrainians have the same origin and used to speak the same language back then. But their situation differs from the one in Serbia and Croatia, where people speak one language but live under different governments.
Ukrainian and Belarussian languages are as similar to Russian as Dutch is to German. Which means, yeah, they are quite similar, in the same language group, even eastern branch of it. But still, separate languages.
Remember, Ukraine and Belarus were separated from the rest of Old Rus after the Mongol Conquest. They were heavily influenced by Polish and Latin, while Russian developed on its own. By the time Russians conquered those territories, it was already too late - they tried to Russify Ukraine and had only partially succeded (in Eastern part of it).
Tell if I am wrong. But during the Feburary revolution nobody declared independence. But after the October revolution Ukraine Finland the Baltic countries Latvia Lithuania declared independence. And during the Russian civil war they were all conquered or Finland attempted to be conquered back. So I think they didnt have a problem being in Russia until the boshleivicks came in power in St Petersburg. Finland specifically were loyal to the Tsar... because they benefited under the system more than other countries. Alot of great Imperial Russian generals were Finnish.
I mean Soviet Union let Finland have there independence after the Finnish civil war.
Lenin sowed the seeds of discord after destroying unitarianism. We must turn back to 1917 if you will, without Tsars, however.
+Daniel Shifron Latvians and Estonians also didn't rebel at all against Russian Empire during the 200 years long rule under it. Czechs didn't rebel against the Austrians. Yet no one would claim that Latvians are Russians or Czech are somehow Austrian/German. The fact that they didn't rebel means nothing. Either they didn't want to because the life was good, or it wasn't but they were afraid of reprecussions. Hell, Belarussians never dreamed of rebelling against Poles and Lithuanians, simply because they lacked the independent identity of their own.
In case of Ukrainians, while they had their own nationalist movement, they had no history of modern nation state of their own. So while nationalists planned the independence of the country, most peasants (which made up majority of Ukrainians) either didn't care about the independence, didn't identify as Ukrainian yet, or were supporting it, while being afraid of reprecussions in case the rebellion failed.
Russian combat style at the time was a symbiose of viking "shield wall" style for unmounted troops and a "mongolian horse archers" style for the mounted ones was pretty efficient I must say
Katzaps had no combat style, they were slaves. Ukrainians, known as Ruthenians at the time, had such a style, however, thanks to their Scandinavian ancestors.

Rus’ ought not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’.
Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.
Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”.
Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’.
In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership.
“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.
Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine.

*not to be confused with “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus’ but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus’.
Rus’ and “Russia”, are in many ways like the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, one took the name of the other, despite being a completely different entity, in order to tie itself to the glory and history of the other.

Scythians and Sarmatians were generally blonde or redhaired, labeling them as Iranian can mislead the majority who aren't familiar with how different the lands were for much of history.
Iranians simply means Aryans. Thats what Iran means, it usto be labeled Aryana on old maps. Sarmatians and Scythians were Iranian or Aryan tribes. Now affairs people try to use the word Iranian instead of Aryan since the word kinda received a negative rep during WW2. Today's Persians or Iranians have been mixed alot through history due to invasions from Arabs and Turk peoples, but you can still find people in Iran with very fair hair and eye color.
Now adays*
I hate to be that guy but at the beginning of the video it is implied that the Baltic area was dominated by Slavic people's, the Baltic/Slavic relationship is a hotly disputed topic and it's widely accepted that the Baltic people's were instead a separate indigenous group all together that developed alongside the surrounding slavs, otherwise GREAT video I honestly really enjoyed it :)
The Balts were not surrounded by the Slavs. They were neighbours to the Scandinavians across the Baltic Sea, and to the Finnic, Finno-Ugric nations north and east of them. For example, the Moscow region was earlier inhabited by the Finno-Ugric tribes called Merja (Merya) and Muroma. I think there's still a Murom river in the area.
The Russian language of Moscow has even some features of the Ugric languages. For example, a phrase like 'I have an apple', is said the same way as in English in Ukrainian and Polish, with a verb to have - like most Indo-European languages say it. But in Standard Russian, coming strongly from the Moscow Russian, it's said 'U menja jabloko'. Here there's a prepositional structure like 'By/At me (is) apple'. This structure is how the Ugric people say it, like my Finnish version 'Minulla on omena' '('On me is (an) apple'). Words are not related, but the grammar is similar.
Funny, in Welsh they say it with a preposition like this, and the English dialects near Welsh border can say 'I don't have any money on me' - maybe even 'There's no money on me'.
Back to that 'U menja jabloko', just to compare languages a bit more - the article is not needed in Slavic languages, but neither was there articles in Latin and Ancient Greek had only the definitive article (like 'the'), don't know of the modern. This is similar to the Ugric languages, but the apple in Russian (jabloko), is in neuter from, and the grammatic gender doesn't exist in Ugric languages - like neither does it exist in English (except he vs she), though normally it does, in Indo-European languages.
I told these other grammar issues, besides 'to have' vs 'on me (is/are)', just to show that the grammars of individual languages affect contacts over language barriers, not depending on their relativity, just on how those 2 then in contact are formed. Or were formed at the time of borrowing words or structures. Or if people had previously one language, but later changed it to another. Like many Ugric people of the Moscow region when the Russians arrived, and like many of the Celts in the British Islands, when the Anglo-Saxons arrived. English actually shows many Celtic features, when compared to the continental Germanic languages.
@@timomastosalo That's a huge stretch based on a single case of a subject-object structure.
By that same logic one could say that the Vikings stole Oden Allfather and Loki from the Slavs since "lukav" means "a cunning person" and "lihi" means "bad, evil" in old slavic, "Svarog" is a pagan Slavic god which translates as "kin to all" and adding Odin implicates things even further since "Odin Svarog" can be translated as "One who is kin to all".
Like Yours, this is an interesting claim but holds no proof.
@@MI982 No, don't generalize a single example. No stretch there. That was a proof of only that structure. I didn't say all Russian grammar is from Finno-Ugric languages - did you think so? Then read again.
There are remnants of those languages in Russian, doesn't mean I claimed the whole Russian grammar is from there. I even told in my example that the use of grammatical gender is Indo-European, traditional, hoguh English has dropped it, but os Indo-European languages haven't.
Mostly the Russian grammar is the same or similar as in other Slavic languages. There are just SOME cases of borrowings from other languages here and there. Like some of their business terminoly comes from Turkic languages.
Like English has some Celtic expressions, and French (counting to 20 as the basic set). Greek has some non-indo-European words from a previous language that was there when the Greeks arrived from the North. What I mentioned about Russian is not such an exception, more like the typical case.
In the example I mentioned, the more Western Slavic langaages have a verb there similar to the English verb to have, but Russian uses u menya 'at/by me (there is)'. It's from Finno-Ugric languages - linguists have written about it, I studied linguistcs in the University. It's not my innovation. In Indo-European klanguages there's a ver
b in this case. Only Russian and some Celtic languges have this prepositional structure. And both have ben in contact with the Finno-Ugric people, the Celts only very long tome ago. But they did live next to the Slavs somewhere in Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, and maybe even further East. Baltic and Finno-Ugric lived close there, earlier a bit further south, in Belarus, maybe
I guess you knew that Moscow was established on the lands or Merya and Murom nations, who were Finno-Ugrians, now the languages are extinct. Their language did leave a few marks on the Russian spoken there. Because they adpted the Russian language, just their accent left a few marks on the Moscow Russian.
And it's not good or bad - it just is there. If we start to think some peoples' cultures are better than others, then we don't easily accept the scientific findings, because they might fight against what we prefer. Then we become defencive, and block the new info.
@@MI982 Your example is different than mine. You speak of words - I spoke of grammatical structures, the use prepositions or suffixes. They are very permanent, words may change quickly, evn many times during one generation - though mostly not.
Grammar solutions are not usually borrowed, they mostly remain. So in the example I showed, the Finno-Ugric structure most likely remained in the accent of the local strongly Finno-Ugric people, who mixed with the Slavs. -those Finno-Ugric people had to learn a new official language of their rulers, but they left some of their old expression in the language.
Like the Black Americans, who had to learn English in he USA: they forgot their old West African languages, but their English Vernacular, has shown to have some grammar solutions that come from those languages, like 'he be sleeping'. It's not a grammar error trying to speak English, like the European heritage linguists earlier thought, but a literal translation of a structure from a West African language.

@@vredacted3125 I didn't mean "Russian mir/world" as kind of civilization rather than genetical/ethnical term. I did mean term Rus generally. Obviously, previous population on the territory of Kievan Rus was depopulated and devastated by Mongols and became literally wasteland. Land mostly suited for Kipchacs, Pechenegs and Volga Bulgars previously and later Crimean Tatars and their slave raiding incursions. Ukraina means frontier same as Krajina in Serbian-Croatian, granica is germanism in South Slavic languages. Not Moscow but Novgorod and Pskov kept Kievan Rus heritage. Holy Roman Empire wasn't Germany at all as well as Kingdom of Hungary didn't include only Magyar speaking peoples. On Balkan Slavs - they are mix of Slavs and romanized Thracian, Illyrian and Celtic population with totally different mentality than Ukrainians and Russians but what is very same is selfish nationalism and schauvinism contrary to "Roman-Frankish- Anglosaxon" realm/civilization which is expansionistic. Not all the Germans speak standardized German nor Italians standardized Italian, dialects could be considered separated languages in contrary to Serbian-Croatian + Bosniak which is almost one linguistical area but they were so stupid to allow antagonisms to crush them unlike Germans and Italians which remained one nation/state despite different historical circumstances and differences. Sorry, I became sick of you Russians and Ukrainians, better to tell dissapointed. Both Slavo-Ugro-Tatars as Balkans are Slavo-Thraco - Turks with exception in part of Croatia/Adriatic coast which was under Venice. Slavs generally don't exist genetically, that's main problem with crisis' of identities. I predict Turkic predominance in the future.

Fast Husky Are Germanics ment to be brothers, too? Romance speakers as well? Why are Slavs the only pan-national group in Europe?
No brother, there is a clear divide, a great cold distance betwixt western and eastern slavic traditions now.
+PewPewPlasmagun I would argue that the North-South divide is greater than West-East one. Sure, the religion may differ from region to region, but whole Western and Eastern branches of Slavic languages have some degree of intelligibility. Of course, dialects used to exist in a continuum before WW2 - after that, with all the deportations, it isn't as fluid as it used to be.
But the dialectal continuation between Northern Slavs and the one with the Balkans was cut off 1000 years ago, by the migrating Hungarians, who split Slavs forever.
One day...one day.
Vitalis I was referring to the cultural issue. Slavonic languages are very recently divided, as far as language history is concerned (compared to other branches of the IE languages).

The only thing i find ashame is how the Skandinavian people today and the Russian people have distanced themselves from eachother. We are the same people, if i put a skandinavian next to a russian (from Rus settled areas that is) the difference in appearence is none.
I agree, if you mean ethnic Russians, not the mixed types who call themselves Russian only by the citizenship.
I think Russian have a more rounded face and less prominent jaws and chins and commonly brown haired due to intermarry with Southerners but back then they were not that different to Nordic ppl

Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, Russia is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise.
Its name “Russia" received only in 1721, when Peter I passed a decree to change Tsardom of Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (“Russia” originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Kyivan Rus')
Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even pushed for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and where forced to call themselves “Russian”.
Lands that “Russia” claims were part of the original Rus’, but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus’. They can be considered parts of extended Rus’, although their culture was distinct from main Rus’.
In 1493 Moscow prince Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus’. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus’ ownership.
“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and “Russian” historians have been trying to say for years. Kiev was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village.
Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what “Russia” did in regards to Rus’-Ukraine.
Eyy whats the backround music
megalomaniac 08 From Russia with Love Huma
The song at the beginning is called from Russia with love.
vladimir the great
vladimir lenin
vladimir putin
something is wrong
Actually it is becoming clear when you devide the name into 2 parts vladi ( means to own ) and "mir" (means the world) so the name it self also means to be a ruler lol .
