Where did Russia come from? - Alex Gendler

there are many mistakes here. first of all, Russia is not Rus, it was a part of it because it was a colony "Zalisya/behind the forests". after the baptism of Rus, the modern lands of Russia were for the circulation of slaves and were given from the Moksha and Finno-Ugric tribes. Russia as such begins its history with the arrival of the Mongols in the 13th century. and was called the Moscow principality by the way. The history of the great Kiev with the princes and lands they began to appropriate in the 18th century.

1:48 Oleg is not Rurik's son. He would have been a regent because Igor, Rurik's son, was young.

A faintly comic hugely oversimplified version, which completely ignores the contribution of Peter 1st expanding his territory beyond the Urals into the eastern lands. This silly account doesn’t even mention the Tartars and the Cossacks.

It was not a hoard, it was a horde. Subs need fixing.

Byzantine did not create their literacy. Their alphabet is called Cyrillic or "Кирилица" made in Bulgaria.

Слава России!Z Z Z🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺☦️☦️☦️⬛🟧⬛

the font used makes Россия look like Россня 4:40

Hey, I'm from Russia and I'm interested in history. Frankly speaking, I'm so proud of myself that now I can listen to the historical information in English. When I imagine I'd been learning history only in russian, now I feel I'm gorgeous. Thanks for this magnificent video, really nice drawing 🤌🫦

2:31 That is like the most Russian thing I have ever heard LOL

⚡️👾🌞🐱🇨🇳🇪🇺

4:35 Россия!

Oleg is not the son of Rurik, its just regent of the real Rurik son

The worst video on the entire channel. A mixture of propaganda and myths. Zero historical accuracy. It's the same as telling the story of the birth of the Roman Empire when asked how France came to be, or telling the story of the founding of London when asked how the United States came to be.

жесть. для кого этот бред? )) ох уж этот дикий запад... всё тупеют и тупеют.

Someone else unified them but this idiots destroyed it

I'm a teacher

Hi

Impirealism, deporting, killings, sending to Gulags

We all know that

Russia didn’t come from kievan Rus, Ukraine did

Oleg was not Rurik's son, Igor was

История которой никогда не было.

1:58 "Kievan Russ was born " - it is absolutely fake. Kievan russ as terminology was invented in 19 century, and mean "time of Russ existing, when capital was Kiev". It is never was the state.
So if you tell about Kievan Russ, so tell also about Novgorod Russ, about Ladoga Russ. Or dont tell it at all.
It is very important, because this history falsification run war today

Russians are sons of Mongols, Ukrainians are Vikings 😎

2:28 Islam

Russians are Europeans who colonized massiave lands in asia, next question

2:27 I sure love spreading disinformation 🔥🔥

Apparently Rus is the name of the Viking horsemen

orthodox by default xD

So Putin was right!!! Kiev belongs to Russia

This video is a collection of mistakes.
Modern Russia comes from foundation of Moscow city in 12th century, and it was called Moskowia until 18th century, when they have stolen the name related to Kyivan Rus from modern Ukraine, occupying it after occupation and genocide of Novgorod in 15th century.
Therefore, Kyivan Rus founded before 9th century is the origin of modern Ukraine but not Russia.
Moreover, Kyivan Rus had dukes before the mythic Rurik and Oleg. The last ones known as Askold and Dir were killed by Oleg.
Furthermore, as seen from the name the first and only capital of the Kyivan Rus was Kyiv but not Kiev and of course not Novgorod, which name meaning New City proves that it cannot be the first capital.
Finally, citizens of Moskowia and modern Russia were and are not Slavs. They originated from Hungaro-Finnish group and just speak Slavic language, which is actually closer to Bulgarian than to Ukrainian or Belorussian despite being placed with the last two in the same group.

Another historical word parade. You’re basically rebuilding a medieval chronicle with vocabulary instead of armies. Fine. Meanings, straight and solid.

Polytheistic religion

Subjugation
The act of bringing people under control by force, domination, or oppression.

Ukraine is not even on the map

*history of Ukraine

The legacy of Rus is Ukraine and Belarus, and russia is a thief who is trying to steal not only your land, but also your history

Kyiv existed already 1500 years ago, but swedish vikings, slavic and finnish tribes expanded it enormously... My blessings and Sankta Iryna/Anna of Kyiv-Rus who was actually born in Sweden. She had eight siblings.. Descendents today, probably Ace of Base-siblings, who are spiritual......🟡🔵🟡🔵🟡🔵🟡🔵🟡

Kyiv Rus = Ukraine and Belarus

One thing to clearify. Oleg wasn't Rurik's son. He was his relative or sworn brother. Igor was Rurik's son

Wow this is relevant in 2025 and as I understand this information here, my opinion is Russia 🇷🇺 has been right all along. Kiev was the capital of Rus 😮😮😮

Московити не слов'яни, а яхи. Стаття "ВОРОГ ЯКИЙ ЗАВЖДИ МАСКУВАВСЯ ПІД ДРУГА". Шукайте в інтернеті.
Хто такі яхи і до чого тут татари Батия?
Яка ціль міфу про єдиний народ з українцями?
Варто прочитати і знати...

You don't need to renounce and distance yourself from your own history🇺🇦, even when the conquering state🇷🇺 uses it
against you.
This is not Russia🇺🇦.
This is Muscovy🇷🇺.
Russia🇬🇷 is the Greek name for the Ukrainian medieval state of Rus🇺🇦(838–1240).The Greek name🇬🇷🇺🇦 that the Muscovites🇷🇺 stole from the Ruthenians🇺🇦 and illegally appropriated in 1721.
Muscovy🇷🇺 is the real name of the conquering state that steals🇷🇺 the history, culture, and traditions
of another state and then appropriates them for itself. Calling Muscovy🇷🇺
Russia🇺🇦 is the same as calling the United States of America🇺🇸 Great Britain🇬🇧.
