And 1 book is falsely translated from Greek to Latin so it apperes that "Slavs invaded Balkan" while in Greek says "They made uprising/rebellion"...
In official history "Slav" is coined "umbrella" term that will start to appear around 6 century...

@Everything you can imagine is real
The fact that the byzantines continued to call themself romans, because they wanted to be associated to the great Roman empire, doesn't mean they were.
The byzantines were greeks in population, culture, religion, language..... Basically in everything.
The eastern roman empire remained roman just for a few centurys, with Eraclius we can say it started the byzantine empire.
@@ludovicomichelangeli1908 and the romans had been adopters of greek culture and religion too. The eastern empire was split from west only by name and conquest. Two halves ruled by two emperors of one empire. The byzantines *are* the romans, there is no distinction between them, only cultural shift (as with all nations) over the centuries.
@@ludovicomichelangeli1908 The ethnic Greeks who called themselves Roman in the Byzantine did so becuse they believed Rome was an idea that whoever believed it can have it and carry its legacy regardless of ethnic background
Olga's fire-attack on the Drevylans may be the first account of an air-strike, over 900 years before the Wright brothers managed their first flight.
I knew that Ghengis Khan (I think? Maybe one of his descendants?) did something similar when he could not invest a city, had no idea about Olga's story! I wonder if they got the idea from her!!!
imagine that the first flight from wright brothers to the moon landing was just 66 years! WHAT_THE_FUCK_
An interesting note about the "Proto-Slavs", is that they were originally single-celled creatures that utilized their store of mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) to create protective coverings known as "track suits", that provided warmth and comfort while they squatted.
As a slav myself, it's excellent that you make the documentaries on the lesser-known topic too. Thanks!
@divyanshu bhandari that's a very strange interpretation of fun fact
They made several videos about Kievan Rus. They are obviously being paid.
as a slav myself, the russinas copied ukrainian history and sold it as theirs, so calling the slavs or the rus russians is wrong!
I hope you will encourage your fellow Slavs to get along and not invade each other so the world is not burnt to a crisp in a nuclear war...

Erm, GOT was literally based on the Wars of the Roses, G.R.R. Martin has literally stated this in multiple interviews. No dragons obviously, but much of the politics and the various backstabbing was as, if not more batshit insane in real life in Medieval Europe as it is in GoT!!!

Bold statement, to put it mildly.
The Slavic God of the sun was called Yarlo. Interestingly enough, one of my grandfathers comes from a small village in Northwest Bulgaria called Yarlovitsa. It is amazing that this "divine" toponym from pre-Christian times survived...
what does vitsa mean
@@Deguu68 If something in Slavic ends in "tsa" like (Borovitsa, Yarlovitsa, Kamenitsa and etc.) this is a type of feminine vocative case ending, and is used like a place of something. Borovitsa means a place with alot of pines.
Yarilo
CITy names tend to not change very often.another option to preserve language is to pread it into mountains
In Serbia he is called Yarilo. (Yara = heat)
Never knew much about the Rus until now. Great documentary!
K&G has been in my feed for a long time. Foolishly, I haven't subscribed until now. These long-form videos about relatively obscure topics (from an American perspective) show your team's dedication to education.
THIS. IS. CONTENT!
The quality of this 2 hour documentary is stunning!
I'm making something closer to documentaries than this.
Olga was a force of whatever nature you worship. She was intelligent, active, and decisive. A person to be studied in all of her decisions. They were grounded and well thought out. Easily as admirable as any male war leader.
As one with a passion for History and Ancient Historical Cultures in particular, I have struck a Gold mine in finding this Program.
You are a rear find in someone who has the ability to pack so much Historical information of some large stories in a small timefraim, without sacrificing important events and accompanying facts.
Thanks for your dedication to this genre of History.
Blessings.

Yeah, itâs amazing! Even though this video is not based on authors findings but simply taken from official russian history book for students⌠and is completely lie
@@divotevs youre absolutely right . novgorod was never in Rus. Even theyre writings from the novgorod times say they werent. unfortunately russin empire rewrote that history as did the soviet union and subsequently putin did.

I really watched this history documentary because of the current situation in Ukraine and Russia. I'm really curious in regards of the history of the two countries and now my question was somewhat answered by this documentary. Great documentary.
Read Texe Mars "serpent people"
A great book, often referenced, is "the Gates of Europe" by Serhii Plokhy. This documentary summarizes the first 5 chapters or so...
I'm here for the same reason..actually have a strong desire to learn the history of how these two countries got to the killing of each other today...
So sad what's happening to the Ukrainian peoples.
Great cartoons, apparently, well sponsored.. Sadly, it is a yet another historical fake that russian federation propaganda tries to spread. Please, look for other sources.
P.S. we need to be critical to information sources. Have it cross one's mind, why Kyiv (that's proper spelling of my home city) in this video seemed to be so insignificant, gave its name to the whole Kyivan Rus?

Real cool stuff.
I legit comment this on almost every video of yours, but your entire production team needs to be picked up. The way you guys tell the story, and allow the viewers to get sucked into the storyline is 100% on point. History channel could take a hint or two and sign you guys onto their platform!

Honestly this story specifically i was interested in (the tv series Viking got me curious about it), and could I not agree with you more
By far, the best history channel on youtube and one of the best educational contents online. I mean i don't event watch Netflix anymore, I just play Kings and Generals on the big TV for hours. Best docu-series ever.

This is impressive planning and high level management. Before coffee this morning, I failed to notice the length of this upload and therefore note that this is a compilation of content I have already watched. While I have watched the same stories multiple times as presented on several different channels, I usually avoid watching the same edutainment content multiple times from the same source. As usual for this channel, the storytelling is so fantastic I scarcely noticed the fact that I had already watched the content from the start. Honestly (and this is my main point in writing), I noticed the first musical transition formula around 20 minutes in and then noticed the length of the upload at this point. Later transitions were less noticeable. Maybe I am being too imaginative in my assumptions, but I get the impression that this upload's storytelling and flow is more planned than the typical compilation type of content on YT. You know, the type that is clearly an afterthought in planning and flow. If this is the case and this compilation was the storyboard plan from the start, first, bravo, this is a very impressive step in the growth of storytelling skills here. Even after my realization about having watched this before, I could not stop rewatching after being drawn in to the story.
Also, as a bit of constructive feedback along this line of thought (and totally unnecessary), if you could mask the original episode ending musical crescendo just a tiny bit better, I would probably only notice the length of time I have watched after a much longer stretch of time, if at all. For a new viewer or anyone that has not already watched the original first upload, I imagine this is a mute point. However, as someone that routinely avoids rewatching content for what I perceive as emotional frivolity, if you can get someone like me to overlook such a bias, I think you may really break out into the type of content many people want to watch multiple times just for the emotional roller-coaster ride, like how some people watch animation films from the traditional corporate media professional studios.
- That's just my intuitive take as a general viewer. I think all you would really need to do is design the background music at one level higher where you simply replace the final segments from individual episodes with something slightly more subtle and transitional to help blend in the slower pace of the next episode. This would be something like the last 2% of polish on this type of compilation. This is already honestly one of the best compilations I have ever watched, and one of the only ones I have ever watched despite having already watched piecemeal. Thanks for the upload, and congratulations on the state of your art.

As a Norwegian its so weird to hear this part of history, both how totally alien to the homogenic north this story of wave after wave of different peoples crossing east and west, some disappeared into the lists of time, some being prominent even today, is, and also how big a role people from Scandinavia played.
The north isn't as homogenic as you might think and the Scandinavian influence is somewhat overblown due to Germanic bias during the intial research (19th century)

There is a mistake in this video, the golden horn is not a strait nor connects with Sea of Marmara it is a harbour coming off the Bosphorus strait (which connects to the Sea of Marmara). The golden horn could be used as a place of refuge for Byzantine ships during an attack and is a physical barrier for forces attempting to attack Constantinople. Great video though !
If someone came up to me and said "let me tell you all about the history of Kievan Rus in the middle ages, it'll be fun" I would never have believed them.

@@fedorevdokimenko3978 Rus and Russia isn't the same thing though
@@PUARockstar "Rus" is a diminutive name for the word "Russia". "Russia" - so in ancient times the Greeks called Rus. With the adoption of Orthodoxy from the Eastern Roman Empire, the Russians themselves gradually began to call themselves the word "Russia".
@@Ekaterina_Samsonova Rus was the lands of Kyiv. Muscovy never became the Rus, yet alone its capital.
@@PUARockstar don't be embarrassed. As a Russian, I will give you an excursion into our history: a state called "Kievan Rus" never existed. This is a toponym (same as "Moscow Rus", "Vladimir-Sudal Rus", "Novgorod Rus", "Carpathian Rus", "Chervonnaya Rus", etc.), which was introduced by Russian historiographers of the 19th century Klyuchevsky, Kostomarov and Ilovaisky to designate certain periods and principalities in the general history of the formation of the Russian state. It was just Rus, not "Kievan Rus". Such a state as "Muscovy" also never existed. It was the Russian State, not "Muscovy".
@@Ekaterina_Samsonova Rus was the name given to the northmen who conquered the local slavic tribes and forced them into a slave master relationship.

Thanks so much K&G, I've been looking for some good approachable stuff on the Pre-Medieval Rus for a while now, but even amongst trade press history it's a hard topic to find anything on. I'd only wonder if you have a bibliography or sources document that you publish somewhere?
Cyril and Methodius arrived in Rome in 868, where the new pope, Adrian II, took their side and formally authorized the use of the Slavic liturgy. When Cyril died in 869, Adrian sent Methodius back to the Slavs as his legate and archbishop of Sirmium. Methodius's ecclesiastical province included all of Moravia.
