A brief look at the origins and history of Russia and the Russian people and the complexity of the region due to its common origins but rich history. My compassion goes out to all those affected by the situation in the region.

I hope it’s more palatable than Putin’s presentation of Russia’s history during the Carlson interview.
This fellow refers to original sources, and exhibits the apparent thoroughness of a serious historian. I listened to only part of Putin’s version of history to Tucker. When it became too much BS, I shut it off. Don’t know if the narrator has it all right. But he packaged it as one who knows from whence he speaks.
No, no, no. You are not allowed to look at the historical context of Russia/Ukraine.
Russia/Putin bad.
That’s all you allowed to say otherwise you are a Putinista.
I see. And that’s why I posted this video, because I’m so narrow-minded.
Putin gooood!. Zelensky baaaad!.
Otherwise you’re a globalist.
I was being facetious but you have revealed your true colors.
Nice European date structure.
Under Russian logic we will be handing Louisiana back to the French.
We need only go back to 1991. What happened before that doesn’t really matter.
That is really a GREAT site and his other videos are fantastic! He is thorough and uses factual sources; archeological, biological ( DNA ), and historical records going as far back as possible.
We only need to go back to the 2014 CIA color revolution.
No, Zeepers are globalist-blind.
History causes a lot of trouble.
Homo Sapiens stole pretty much everything from the Neanderthals.
It was not pretty. It was not peaceful.
If anyone wants to understand Russia, read Dostoesky. he gave up on these people a 140 years ago.
Sucks to lose, doesnt it?
He had over a year fr Biden energy policy being published days after taking office.
i’m going to boil down the complexity.
Russia is a gas station the size of 1 1/2 NY with 140million people.
Putin was crying under MAGA oil policy.
Under whackjob Dem energy policy, they enriched him enough to pay for another invasion. US energy policy vs US tax dollars in the most contrived conflict of all time.
Little different than oil spiking to $140 or something in 2013 and Putin invading in 2014.
The entire rest is a dog and pony show.
You deserve what the CIA has in store for you.
The rest of us don’t.
This is perfectly accurate. It does not however dwell much on the nature of modern nationality.
Everywhere on Earth there has been such an ebb and flow of language, culture and power structures. However this does not go very far towards a justification for political legitimacy.
I don’t know how accurate. He knows more than I do, but I note that he glosses over a lot. I’d like to hear more about the period that the Khazars were in possession of Kiev, but he’s more interested in the Russian people as opposed to other peoples in the region, such as the Khazar empire, and the migration of the Ruthenians from Poland and their evolution into the modern Ukrainians. Nor does he speak at all about the Crimean Tartars. Russians are just one major ethnic group, and that’s his focus.
Politics and legitimacy are the end result of history, and everyone has an opinion about it. The history is of greater interest to me. I have books, but my time is limited, so I listen to videos while I exercise and work at my trade.
What does that mean? Aren't they the biggest country in the world in land area, and a lot bigger than the city or state of New York in population?
I want to hear more about the Vendians and the Slavs. Are they two separate ethnicities today, or did they merge like the Normans and the Saxons?
Oh, and yeah. It’s all Biden’s fault. He greenlighted the pipeline that Trump had shut down, and thereby f@#$ed over Ukraine. When, to his surprise and chagrine, Ukraine withstood the invasion and kept fighting, he was embarrassed into helping Ukraine, but very expensively and very badly, causing civil war on Free Republic. But the history is what interests me, apart from the modern politics.
