    Note: Soon after independence, the nation was engulfed in a civil war between various factions, which were typically distinguished from one another by clan affiliations.More than 500,000 people fled the region during this time due to persecution, deteriorating poverty, and better economic opportunities in the West or other former Soviet states.

      Independence for CIS countries was independence from the Russian leadership BECAUSE OF China's Rise.
      Independence meant "wait and see whether China will actually accept you (because if they DON'T WANT YOU, you're all getting bombed in a future war)".
      Independence has NOTHING to do with America. America just tries to steal attention and has a weird and old relationship with northern india

    I (and I think many others mayhaps) prefer the original style of you speaking English. It would be nice to see it return, unless having someone else dub over saves a lot of time. Though it is quite strange seeing someone who's voice I know out of sync with a new voice dubbing over. It feels like I'm a little kid again without cable watching my countries free TV channel that would play English movies at night with 1 guy doing all the dubbing for each character XD

    As far as dubbing goes, this is actually one of the better ones (compared to other creators).

The videos in English are still informative and retained some of the humor, but this is top notch

I checked the sources from where much of the information was taken and many of them are not very trustworthy i'll be glad to find out why you and your team came to such conclusions. I would love for the team to contact me for valid information on this topic.

      If you hear to Tajiks they will say that Samarkand and Bukhara should be part of Tajikistan.
      If you listen to Kazakh they will say that all Tashkent and Navoi region should be part of Kazakhstan.
      It is just funny how this is funny and nonsense. But it's alright if by this they can high up their ego , we do not care. Anyway nothing will change and no one is able from this countries to change it.

Then I see it’s from a week ago as I wrote this. Bro, unless you got some legit reason why you can’t use your own voice, we encourage you to consider going back. Forget any haters. We understand that English isn’t your 1st language but you speak it very well, great even. Confidence, diction, all top notch, considering.

    Половина Таджикистана сейчас живёт и работает в России, во многих регионах у них 1 место по рождаемости. Возможно скоро где-то появится маленький Таджикистан 2.0 🤔

    I remember hearing after the Taliban took over that a huge portion of the Afghan economy was from drugs.
    I guess I didn't think about what this drug problem would do to these neighboring countries

    Please bring back your real voice lol, I know it's not an AI but it feels like it and your videos were a lot more impactful when your words are coming out of your mouth, you know? I 100% understand the motivations behind doing this but the overwhelming sentiment in this comment section is to go back pls

    Just a small note: Lenin did not appoint Stalin as the new Soviet leader. In fact, Lenin wrote in his will that he did NOT want Stalin to take over, as he deemed Stalin dangerous. Stalin ignored his will and grabbed power anyways
