Of the 195 countries that make up the world today, none is as big as Russia. Spanning over 5600 miles, from the small enclave of Kaliningrad in the west, to Big Diomede Island in the East, Russia encompasses 11 time zones and a total of 6,612,074 square miles. It is in fact so large, that the second biggest nation on earth, Canada, could fit within it’s borders over 1.7 times.
For well over 300 years, Russia in one form or another, has maintained its position as the worlds largest country and during the height of it’s territorial expanse, in the year 1866, stretched all the way from Poland to Alaska. However, just a few centuries earlier, a recognisable Russian state did not even exist. Amongst the patchwork of warring principalities and dukedoms that made up the region, emerged the first glimpses of a nation that through the ambitions and endeavours of Cossacks and Tsars alike, would rise to become largest nation on earth.
This is how Russia became the worlds biggest country.
Peter I named St Petersburg in the name of holy apostle Peter, not himself
The correct translation is actually Ivan the Awesome. Ivan never killed his son. There is a famous painting of his son bleeding in his arms but that painting is only of Ivan hitting his son. There is no evidence that the Tsar killed his own son. No one knows how he died. Also Ivan the Awesome was so awesome that he gave up his crown and went to a monastery but the court of Moscow went to him and BEGGED him to be Tsar again, if he was truly terrible I’m sure they wouldn’t have made the journey to beg him back as their overlord. In Ivan the “terrible”s reign, he only executed 3,000 people to death, in which timeline in France that many people were executed to death in a single day. In his own time he was truly a remarkable person and Tsar. History will not remember him kindly whatsoever. He took Siberia and made Russias prestige touch the sky
he was awesome for russia, but was terrible for other nation and kingdoms.

Russia: world largest country with most resources
America: HOW DARE YOU!
Actually.. due to like 3/4 of Russia being and cold tundra this has meant that they haven't been able to take advantage in agriculture and prevented Russians from accessing that regions natural resources. Well.. RealLifeLore made a video explains that due to global Warming it is going to warm the other 3/4 of Russia which will give Russia accept to a GODLY amount of MANY natural resources that has gone virtually untouch throughout Russian history AND will give them the ability to farm ALL of that land. Reallifelore has stated this will make Russia IMMEASURABLY WEALTHY which will then make Russia a very wealthy superpower again. Those benefits are only the tip of the iceberg. Reallifelore explains all the ways Russia will benefit from this so I highly suggest you give it a watch.
you can have most resources but that doesn't count if there is no capitalism. Japan is a tiny island with no resources compared to Russia and yet they are WAY wealthier just because they have better economic system
@@sten260they have it because of USA investments. USA is a biggest economy btw. You shouldn't be genius to be well developed due to tons of investment
@@arckanumsavage2822 Not just USA but a lot of other countries trade and invest in Japan because of free markets. Capital always goes to countries that you can make a profit in without having to worry about some politics or socialist movements and that improves the living standard for everybody. And japan produces a lot of high end stuff like cars and electronics, Russia just sells primitive raw resources like oil and minerals
@@sten260 Russia builds best nuclear power plants and has a working nuclear fuel cycle that no other country has. Yeah, "raw resources".
That was a fantastic overview. Will bookmark. We’ll done!
Russian History is also very cool where a small kingdom successfully seizes barren land and makes such a huge empire and finally a nation which is the biggest!
(I hope this war ends)
Please make some videos on India also.
Nothing cool here. Moscovians are killers and thieves, who committed many genocides to conquere such a big territories. And then they carried out assimilation to force people forget their languages, history and cultures. Ukraine also went through this and survived, Ukrainians fought for their freedom and identity (and we are still fighting, because russia still want to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainian nation), but in Russia there are many ethnic groups who even don't know their languages and proudly call themselves "russians".
Aleksander Gwagnin - an Italian who served in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, published a chronicle about Moscovia in 1578. This is how he described Moscovian people:
- These Moscovian people are so rude, inhuman and vicious that they have almost nothing sincere in themselves that could be compatible with true love, one barks at the other like a dog, without shame, without fear of God, who can do anything to whom - he will slander him, even where there will be the most people.
- Moscovian people, subject to the great Tsar, savors slavery more than freedom (...). For these reasons it is clear that by their customs they choose a master similar to themselves.
Cute
@@one.girl...1 So much pride. Ukraine didn't fought for anything, it was cared for by the leadership of Moscow, and that's why it could even exist today. If only they wanted you to be gone, they would've achieved that easily. But they never were like you portray them. It was the westerners who always did similar things, on a much worse scale. And you blame the entire nationality for something you made up. Your intentions are clear as day, you are the one who seeks opportunity to cause damage. The reason why those cultures aren't widespread now, is because nobody like you is a prideful nationalist, it's much easier to speak the language which more people speak, and depend on the economy of a larger country that actually cares for you. They never asked you to make a decision for them. There are such cultures in so many countries, including the United States, and that's also why people overall keep talking in English. In Russia, those cultures can even study their own language in schools! Why did Ukraine ban so many languages? It is the most prideful nationalistic country that doesn't respect what was given to it, or even it's own citizens who want neutrality and preservation of history. It blames others for aggression, but is the only one who speaks out of clear hate.
russian never was a kingdom
Russia was never a small kingdom though. Even in its old Kievan Rus and Tsardom/Duchy of Moscow state of affairs, the size of the kingdom was larger than Germany or France etc.
Amazing video keep up
very good summary of this topic
You just forgot about the Russian empire annexing Bessarabia, the south caucasus and sakhalin
True. It was Peter The Great (and also Catherine The Great) that conquered the first lands in the south at the Black Sea that was heading towards the Caucasus in the 18th century. Then, in the late 18th century and all the way 1878 did Russia expand beyond the Caucasus into Azerbeijan, Armenia and Georgia.
@Flakexelite yes
History of Russia is really really interesting.
There is a historical mistake here:
Kyiv did not expand its territory to Rus', Rus' first appeared in 862 Novgorod, and in 882 the center of Rus' was moved from Novgorod to Kyiv.
this is the oldest known doc about that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_Chronicle
> Russian Primary Chronicle is a chronicle of Kievan Rus' from about 850 to 1110.
so it first appeared in Kiev. Before that, there was no country - only tribes.
Now that video i just watched was very good and simple. Simple enough that a little kid can understand.
RealLifeLore has made a VERY interesting video about Russia. He explains how there is a certain area of the earth that wraps around Earth like a giant band. Within this "band" is what is called the "Perfect Production Zone" where the climate within this band is so ideal in terms of things like temperature it makes makes it the best place in the world to grow agriculture. Now.. perfectly situation with this band sits America which explains a lot lol. Unfortunately for Russia only 1/4 of their country is within this band which is western Russia. Scientists have realized that due to global warming this band is going to drift north and which means that Canada and the MOST of Russia are going to be the ones within this band of "Perfect Production". This isn't just good news for Russia.. this will be a MIRACLE to Russia.
Now I'll explains why this is such an amazing miracle for Russia. Currently 75% of Russia is a frozen Tundra and befause of this it.makes almost impossible for Russia to take advantage of this large area. When this band eventually arrives over most of Russia it will heat up giving them a GODLY amount of land to grow immeasurable amounts of agriculture. Now I'll touch on the topic of natural resources.
When Russia eventually gets to take advantage of the land they also FINALLY get to take advantage of it natural resources. This massive area of Russia is thought to contain unbelievable amounts of natural resources which obviously make them EXTREMELY wealthy.untouched. There is also a GODLY amount oil they will be able to collect. And mind you...Russia ALREADY is one of the biggest suppliers of oil and that already the biggest supplier of oil to the rest of Europe.
Now, the military benefits to Russia. For most of Russia history their biggest handicap military has been a huge lack of to the seas for their Navy. This was because the only access they have to the Mediterranean is the black sea in the south of Russia BUT Ukraine take up nearly ALL of the black seas coastline leaving Russia with a small sliver. Not only that but In order for their Navy to reach the Mediterranean they first have to go the black sea and must pass through a tight bottleneck that cute through turkey which if one day becomes an enemy Turkey will shut the choke.poimt which denies Russia access to Mediterranean. What about it's northern coast. Russia actually has the largest coastline of any country in the world.. Unfortunately for Russia their north coastline is in the Arctic which leaves most of this coastline frozen for a long period of the year. When this coastline region heats up the ice will melt and not only do they now have an entire coastline and waters for their Navy to utilize, which means Russia will dominate the Arctic which concerns America, but they will then have pretty much full access to trade routes for Russia and china to utilize trade which makes it a MUCH shorter route to and from Russia or China.
Within warmer waters on their northern massive coastline means they can take advantage of fishing.f
All of this will mean that Russia will become a INSANELY WEALTHY country and will again make it massive super power. And with the "Perfect Production Zone" band drifting to north to Canada leaving America this will have to have a negative affect on America.

I have questions, from 16th to 20th century how Russia easily defeat Siberia, Sweden, Ottoman, Persia, Poland answer is military ok, but whats is their population that time how can populate big areas, Russian population growth is 100% 1500s ?

Excellent video. A short and sweet summary of Russian civilization. Greetings to the Russian Empire, the behemoth of the world, & Vladimir Putin
I have a crazy question. Can you redo this again? But don't change their names. Keep the names of the tribes that they were once. You get on saying like that would be interesting to know what tribe they belong to. Were they still vikings, or they no? Longer vikings and something else. Entirely, and who were they taking over when they went into Lithia? Poland Prussia, Austria were that still not Viking country land when did The Vikings end? Do you get what I'm trying to ask? I hope you do
Thanks for Alaska 🇺🇸👍🏽
That was one of the biggest mistake in history of Russia
You forgot how Russia tried to overthrow the Hawaiian king Kamehameha I
Beautiful country
Well done but please don't use the Mercator again. It's terribly inaccurate and I don't know why so many use it.
When did it stop being vikings? Can anyone answer that question for me, please? Because it seems like these people were still vikings. And they're still doing the same thing that hunted years ago I guess really
All was good except the fact that Georgia was only mentioned in the last minute of the video. Georgia existed way before Russia was even thought of.
It was easy to convert not populate land to conquer
For some reason the Poles were unable to do anything like this. If a Pole is dissatisfied, he sits and hisses angrily, and if a Russian is dissatisfied, then he gets on a horse or in a boat and goes to look for a better place to live.
At times it looks like an alternative history bullshit..
All rivers are shown with their present day water reservoirs due to hydro power plants.
Kazan was conquered by Ivan the 4th in 1552, not by his granddad Ivan 3rd.
The Siberian Khanate is not what is now Kazakhstan and Ermak had not successfully conquered it, he was killed and his army annihilated by the tatars.
For the first time, Kazan was conquered by Ivan 3, turning it for a long time into a state dependent on Moscow. Although Ermak died, it was he who did all the work for the tsar in conquering Siberia, destroying the main forces of the Siberian Khanate. in addition, only part of the Cossacks died. Later, the tsarist troops occupied Siberia without any resistance.
@@user-cy4gt8wo4p if Kazan became dependent after the first seizure, what was the reason for the second? Why even then had most of Khans been of Crimean güray dynasty and why did the ultimate conquer provoke the first russo-turkish war and an intensivation and brutalization of russo-crimean struggle?
The Siberian Khanate was ultimately crushed by Kyrgyz and kazakh and could no further withstand the Russian penetration.
@@InvictusVirtus333 but not because of ermak. It belongs to Russia thanks to the less epic but more systematic politics of romanovs, who were in steady need of Siberian fur, which could be sold on European markets and systematically developed the needed logistics and infrastructure of fur storage and transportation, ultimately from the places as remote as Kamchatka and sahalin.
So Russia is an empire.

Eric the Red may have discovered America before Columbus, Russians, Ukrainians or other pretenders.
Peter Great is maker of Modern Russia. He realisted that Russia must Modernizate and have their version of Colonazation of New World. But unlike West Power Colonization of Siberia was Russian security purpuse also. People dont now that raid of Crimen Tatars and Other Turk people from East steppe took of miliions of Russian in Slavery. So Peter I make first strategy and Geopoltical School how make Russia Superpower. Conquest of Siberia was first task. Second was complete reforme of Russian Socitey toward more West. Becourse he relisated if Russia stay closed West Power will prevale and concor Russia. Chinese Empire and Persian also Indian didn understand this stayed closed and Colonizated by West later was result.

To comment on your avatar, not that I was asked to, but I feel I must. I agree, the azov symbology is a little sus, and very n*zi esque, I however still support Ukraine in their fight against the Muscovites.
In Ukraine there are a few bad apples, whilst The Muscovites empire is evil at it’s head gouvernment level, it’s not just a few units out of a hundred it’s all of them, they are all equally as bad as azov and some much worse.
@@Himars-rn1lf "muscovites" umm I hate to tell you this but thats the demonym of a city, and most Russian soldiers in Ukraine are conscripts from poorer disadvantaged regions in Russia especially ethnic minorities like the Yakuts and the Nenets in Siberia, where as people from Moscow are less likely to go fight and enjoy a comfortable life style unaffected by the war.
I really hate when people call all Russians and minorities "Muscovites" with this context in mind, it's like calling all Americans "New Yorkers" or Germans "Berliners"
I say you should correct yourself
Crimea is not recognized as a Russian territory. The map is wrong.
In the bible said noah landed in the far EAST this is now russia
The original name of Ukraine is Rossia. Peter the Great took the Ukrainian name Rossia to rename Moskovia founded my the Mongols. The name Rossia in Ukraine comes from the region in Uppland Sweden called Roslagen ( law of the Ros) because of inte influx of Swedes like Rurik that founded Kyivan Rus in 830 AD. Sweden is still called Ruotsi in Finnish and Rootsi in Estonian because of the Roslagen heritage.
Ты лучше расскажи как вы Чёрное море выкопали.
Rossia is a Greek name adopted by Peter the Great for his country. Mongols did not found Moscow. Rurik may not have existed at all.

It's a deserve to not mention the emergency of Putin the Great and his new ambition of expanding Russia.
We call him "Vova the Agent"
It's not about ambition, but about creating buffer zones around the Russian border. England is protected by the strait, the USA is protected by the ocean, Russia has no protection. Therefore, Russia needs a buffer zone. when Ukraine was a neutral country (until 2014), Russia had no need for a buffer zone. But when the coup d’etat took place in Ukraine in 2014, Russia began to need a buffer zone. The need for a buffer zone is explained by NATO's approach to Russia's borders. Yes, we can argue as much as we like that NATO will or will not attack Russia. But Putin has no right to take risks; he acts based on a negative scenario. Moreover, everyone in the world knows that NATO is a group of criminals who attack small countries. Putin only protects his country and eliminates risks.

Aleksander Gwagnin - an Italian who served in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, published a chronicle about Moscovia in 1578. He wrote many things about Ivan the Terrible, for example:
- About the unbearable tyranny and unheard of cruelty that the Moscovian prince committed against captured Poles, Rusyns* and Lithuanians.
(...)
And all those (prisoners) were Poles, Lithuanians, Rusyns together with their wives and children, they (he ordered) to be cut down to one soul and thrown into the water.
*Rus, Rusyny, Ruthenians, Rusychi - that's how Ukrainians were called back then. And modern "russians" became russians only in 1721, when Peter I stoled the greek name of Rus (Kyivian Rus) and Moscovia suddenly became a Russian empire.
And this is how author of chronicle described Moscovian people:
- These Moscovian people are so rude, inhuman and vicious that they have almost nothing sincere in themselves that could be compatible with true love, one barks at the other like a dog, without shame, without fear of God, who can do anything to whom - he will slander him, even where there will be the most people.

This is Polish version: Ten naród moskiewski jest tak bardzo gruby, nieludzki i przewrotny, że prawie nic w sobie tak szczerego nie mają, co by się z prawdziwą przyrodzona miłością zgadzać mogło, jeden na drugiego i wre by na psa, bez wstydu, bez baczenia k bez bojaźni Bożej, kto co na kogo wymyślić może, włoży nań potwarz, jeszcze tam, gdzie będzie ludzie najwięcej.
"From the XIV century, a rather rich correspondence of the Byzantine patriarchs and tsars with the Russian grand dukes has been preserved, mainly on the issue of the division and reunification of the metropolia of All Russia. In this correspondence are mentioned 'Ρωσία, Μεγάλη 'Ρωσία, Μικρά 'Ρωσία, "Christian Russian people" (τών 'Ρώσων χριστιανικον γένος). The most interesting is the fact that Ivan Kalita, Simeon the Proud, John II, Dmitry Donskoy and Basil are consistently referred to in these letters "Μέγας ρής πάσης Τωσίας" (the great king of the whole of Russia). So write not only the patriarchs, but even Tsar John Kantakuzin in 1347."
We stole the name in 1721, but for some reason, centuries before that, we were already called that way.
If you knew the history, you would be aware that after the Mongol invasion, the title of Grand Duke (the highest title in Rus') passed to the Vladimir princes, and then to the Moscow princes, while their title was the Grand Duke of All Rus'.
Ты в курсе, что это пропаганда? в 15-16 веке Польша отправляла в Европу свои газеты, в которых изображала русских как московитов, не имеющих ничего общего с Русью? Это не более чем политические уловки, ведь Россия уже участвует в Ливонской войне против Польши и пытается вернуть бывшие территории Руси, ведь именно Польша их захватила. Сам Папа Римский предлагал Ивану Грозному принять титул Короля Руси, но он отказался.

Ukraine is Crimea
Crimea is Ukraine, Kyivan Rus is Ukraine. I don't understand why make "historical" videos about Russia, while lying a lot. The history of Russia began with the Moscow principality, which was a vassal of the Golden Horde (Mongol Empire) and was collecting tribute for the Mongols.
Appropriating someone else's story only gets you shame.
Novgorod, Kazan and Tver were NOT attached to Muscovy peacefully. Read about the massacre of Novgorod (Novgorodians could be a separate eastern slavic nation alike Ukrainians, Belarusians but were massacred by Muscovites) or the Siege of Kazan.
Also, it’s mentioned that the Vikings who founded Kyivan Rus were assimilated into the Eastern Slavic tribes, but it’s not mentioned that Romanov’s dynasty was actually very mixed with Germans. Catherine the Great was of German origin, and her son was most likely not the real son of the last real Russian tsar Peter III. The video doesn't even cover half of the wars started by Russia. Also about alliances and agreements with Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, Turkey, etc., which Russia later betrayed. It also does not tell about the wars of Soviet Russia to capture the countries that were part of the union. and the division of Europe into spheres of influence between N@zi Germany and Soviet Russia is also kept silent.
Crimea is Greece. Kyivan Rus is a figment of historians in the 19th century. The name Russia was adopted by Peter the Great. Moscow principality was not the only vassal of the Golden Horde. Kiev (Kyiv) was destroyed by the same Mongols turning this city into dust for generations to come.
@@Harry-mp8vi Crimea is Crimean Tatar. Kyivan Rus was historically called Rus, I agree, but since russia tries to appropriate the history of Rus, the term “Kyivan Rus” makes more sense and makes people less confused. Moscow Principality wasn’t the only vassal, ofc, but they were. And thanks to the Mongols they started to be a regional power. when Kyiv was destroyed, the capital of Ruthenia (Rus) was transferred to Lviv, but eventually Kyiv started to be more important once again.
In 3 or 4 centuries, Russia conquered vast territories west of the Urals and south to the Caucasus. It did so by force by colonizing or exterminating indigenous peoples and grabbing their natural wealth. This brutal assimilation of peoples and cultures is the greatest imperialist conquest humanity has ever known.
violence begets violence. Russian expansion is the result of raids by Kazan and Siberian Tatars on Moscow lands. in general, expansion is a normal process for that time. the strong ate the weak. At that time, all countries were engaged in expansion; Moscow was more successful in this regard.

@muhojuk2352 not everyone.
Ex: Circassians lived in what is now southern Russia for thousands of years way before the Mongols.
Какие народы Россия колонизировала или истребляла? 😕 Россия за всю историю не участвовала в колонизации и колоний не имела, в отличие от некоторых. Не устраивала геноцид местного населения, а наоборот развивала малочисленные народы.
- Он сделал это силой
- Стычки с местными народами были, но они мизерные на фоне того, что народы сами присоединялись в состав России путём подписания договора или по собственной воле. По крайней мере входившие народы после вхождения в состав Российской Империи не притеснялись, не загонялись в рабство и не уничтожались, они становились полноправными гражданами.
С ними свои розовые очки и взгляни на реальность, обиженный щенок.
Lol, Russia has 190 natives ethnicities.Russians build their empire mostly on win-win unlike others who build them on the graves of natives.
First. "Kyivian Rus", not "Kievian". Kiev - it is russian spelling, not Ukrainian. It is only Kyiv and Kyivian Rus.
Now let's go to the real history, not russian propaganda, wich was spreading by russians inside of Russia and around the world for centuries, when Ukraine was under the russian occupation.
The history of Russia (originally Moscovia) does not begin with Kyivian Rus, just as the history of England does not begin with Roman Empire, despite part of Great Britain was under the rule of Roman Empire. Have you ever heard English call Rome their first capital?
Rus never was like something "one", integral. There lived many different tribes, not only Slavic, which had different cultures. In the beginning the center of Rus was in Kyiv and another lands were under the rule of Rus, like Gaul (France) or Britain was under the rule of Roman Empire (Italy), and people from those lands paid tribute to the Prince of Kyiv. But then in the 11-12th centuries principalities became more and more independent. And in chronicles only principalities which were on territory of modern Ukraine were called Rus. People from Novgorod principality or lands of future Moscovia (Vladimiro-Suzdal principality) and others were saying they "go to Rus" when went to Principality of Kyiv, Principality of Chernihiv or Principality of Pereyaslav (later also Principality of Halychyna-Volyn). They didn't call themselves Rus, we clearly read this in chronicles.
After invasion of Golden Horde in the west of modern Ukraine emerged the Kingdom of Rus. Later another part of Ukrainian lands became a part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Rus and Samogitia. And when Kingdom of Rus was occupied by Kingdom of Poland it was called the Rus Voivodeship.
Modern Ukrainians untill the 19th century were called Rus/Rusyny/Rusychi/Ruthenians. From the 16th century Ukrainians had another names like "Ukrainians" and "Cossacks" (Ukrainian knights), but they were used with names Rus and Rusyny.
Meanwhile lands of future Moscovia never were Rus. Those lands were inhabited by completely different tribes (even non-Slavic) of Volga Finns: Mari, Mordvinians, Merya, Murom, Meshchera, also another tribes Veps, Permians. The rulers of those lands were distant descendants of the dynasty of Kyiv Princes and in the later centuries (starting from the 15th century), they began to add to their titles word "Rus", "Rossia", but those lands had nothing to do with Rus. Like British monarchs until the 19th century added to their title words "King of France". Lands of Moscovia were called Vladimir Principality, then Moscovian principality and then Tsardom of Moscovia or just Moscovia. Only in 1721 Peter I (who even was from another dynasty, meaning he couldn't even "formally" do it) stole the greek name of Rus (Rossia) when called himself an "all Rossia emperor" and Moscovia suddenly became a Russian empire. But Moscovians for a very long time didn't call themselves "Russians". And another countries also didn't recognise Moscovia as Russia. For example, Poland. How Polish could acknowledge that Rus is suddenly thousand of km away, if litteraly in their country was Rus Voivodeship?
To say that Russia is Rus is like to say that Romania (Transilvania) is Roman Empire.
P. S. Crimea is Ukraine. Why did you, contrary to international law, painted the territory of Ukraine occupied by Russians in the colors of the aggressor's flag?
who cares, russia rocks 😎
@@charlemagne9449 if you don't care about history why you on CZcams channel about history?
@@one.girl...1 what you call history is an invention that doesn't represent reality. Its just a myth. Russians like to think that Russia exists for 1000 years, so what? I believe the concept of State is a invention of renaissance, of course russia never existed back then. My people were sheparding deers and eating raw fish just 100 years ago then soviets came and gave us state with all its pros and cons.
@@charlemagne9449 russians can think they colonised Mars, no one cares until they begin spreading lies about this, like they spreading lies about their history, although in reality they stole history of Ukraine and trying to pass it off as their own for centuries. No one cares, until they invade another country, because they say that Ukraine doesn't exist and belongs to them.
Хрюкни
Russia wasn't the only that resisted Napoleon, Spain resisted as well with the help of Britain
There wasn't such country as Kievan Rus, only Rus existed, which was formed in Novgorod in 862.
Great Russia .
