    From this video one could think that Russia conquered Crimea just to get access to the Black sea, however the author didn't mention that the south of Russia had suffered from raids of the Crimean Tatars for decades before the annexation of the Crimea. Thousands of people had been captured and sold to the Ottoman Empire and countless villages and towns had been burnt in those raids. So, defeating the Crimean Khanate was not only the matter of expansion but also the matter of securing the southern borders

      The video is very superficial. The events are simply listed, and the author does not answer questions about the connection between these events and the needs of Russia. About Ivan the Terrible - nothing at all, except that he was paranoid. Is the author a psychiatrist to diagnose? And the nickname itself -
      Ivan the Terrible is wrong. His nickname is closer to Thunderstorm, not horror. It is not said why he fought with the feudal lords. It is not said about the military, judicial and other reforms that strengthened Russia. Even the version that Ivan killed his son is only a version that has no evidence, but some present it as a fact. So those who want to know the history should not take such videos as a textbook.

      @maximvazhenin3345 Před 2 lety +107

      It's not really like this. Despite really unclear early history of Russian flag red, blue and white was a main colors of Russian flag at least since 1667-1668 when father of Peter The Great still was the ruler of Russia. The first documented moment of this three colors being in use refers to the first Russian navy ship called Oryol (Eagle) which was built in 1667 for protection of trading ships in Caspian sea. And it's unclear in which order or in which shape the colors were but according to receipt books cloth of red, blue and white was used. It's unknown why these colors was used but it's a theory that they was using the red, blue and white cloths because it was the only available colors in the town (Dedinovo) where they was building the ship cuz it was colors of city's flag. I failed to finding the flag of town because nowadays it's this ship (Oryol) portrayed on the flag of Dedinovo. Also it is theory that even before this The Dutch Republic gifted a ship to Russia and since Russia never had ships before sailors just switched colors of the Dutch flag (but this is one of the most obscure theories). Later in 1694 it was documented that it was stripes with gold two-headed eagle (coat of arms of tsar of Moscow, basically the coat of arms of Romanov dynasty). In 1710 Peter The Great presented new flag for Russian navy (white field with blue saltire) and tricolor (white, blue, red stripes) became a flag of trading fleet.
      So Russian started to use white, blue and red before Peter The Great came to power but Peter definitely finished the establishment of these colors as main ones.

      As someone who was brought up in the UK, I agree with you. Large sections of history were omitted, and in fact were actually misleading through omission. I would not say weird however. As I grow older, and understand more of the world, and become more cynical, this is exactly as expected. The UK education system (presumably like all others in the world?) weights the syllabus to that of it's own interests. For example, when taught about WW2, the "Eastern Front" was taught as a side-show of the war in Europe, not the main event due to politics as this was the time of the Cold War still. This is a shame because over inflating the real British sacrifices made during the War, lessens them. History should be history, but it is often revised for political gain.

    “With the Russian Empire teetering on the brink of collapse, the tsarist regime responded to the crises with its usual incompetence and obstinacy. The basic problem was that Nicholas himself remained totally oblivious to the extremity of the situation. While the country sank deeper into chaos he continued to fill his diary with terse and trivial notes on the weather, the company at tea and the number of birds he had shot that day. When Bulygin suggested that political concessions might be needed to calm the country, Nicholas was taken aback and told the Minister: 'One would think you are afraid a revolution will break out.' 'Your majesty,' came the reply, 'the revolution has already begun.”

    Very interesting. Note strikes that broke out in 1905 lead to the establishment of the Soviets (workers Councils). The czar was forced to set up the Dumas (Parliament) as a byproduct of this strike movement and the establishment of the soviets. The leader the worker Council was a guy named Leon Trotsky, he was sent to siberia after the defeat of the strike movement. He escape and fast forward he opposed the first world war and then organised the 1917 october revolution.
    1905 and 1917 both very big historic events in Russian history.

      Additionally it may be huge, but most is wasteland. Such regions can't really rebel effectively even if they wanted to, there's litlle there to invade for, and government tends to have limited influence in those far reaches anyway.

      the first uprise was was made by the independent Albanian pashas from the Ali pasha of ionaninna and others there was no greece and serbia at that time...in reality the so-called Greek war of independence it was a religious civil war between Albanians...practically between Arvanites vs Albanians of egypt and Suliotes vs Ali pasha of ioannina ..

    "WW1 started because some guy got assassinated" come on dude.., tyrannies and invasions always are done under some pretext. The real reasons are usually more complex, intricate, many times boil to either greed, some kind of self preservation or other ambitions.

    The video is fine but it paints the steppe nomads and tribes as innocent victims of russian imperialism
    Even before russia was a thing, the early slavs were constantly raided by the nomads. The pechenegs, khazars, alans, bolghars, cumans, turks and many others raided nonstop the russian countryside and towns, even taking slavs as slaves. And that's only before the mongols... The russian expansion into the eurasian steppes was not imperialism, it was to secure their borders and their own people.
