Sorry for my English. I am from Russia, Siberia, I live near Lake Baikal. I like to watch videos about foreigners in Russia, their opinions, stories, reactions, and so on. We very often hear that the West and America do not like history, but more and more often I began to come across such foreign channels where they show and tell our story. And there are a lot of views on such channels and what else pleases, reading the comments, it is clear that you are very interested in it. Thank you to all of you, the authors of the channel, the authors of the comments, to all those who just watched these and other videos about Russia... It's a scary time right now, and I'm really pleased to know that so many people in the world want to know history.

Russian history is simply hardcore survival at all costs.

Imagine if you filmed a series in 8 seasons of 15 episodes of Russian history in the style of Game of Thrones, with all the battles, poisoning of the kings, all these pre-court underhanded games, intrigues, secrets

I am a Chinese college student, and I really love history, especially Russian history. I'm delighted that the blogger shared this historical content with us. I enjoyed watching it very much. Keep up the good work, and I will continue to support the blogger!

Russian history, it's can be hectic, chaotic, bloody and traumatic, but no one can say that it was ever boring.

Battle of the Ice is probably one of the coolest names given to a medeval battle in my opinion

Anyone here after the Putin interview with Tucker ? 😅

Russian history is truly fascinating. I never get bored learning about it.

Game of Thrones is a joke compared to this

I’m here because of Ukraine and Russia issue. Studying history is important to understand what is happening now. I hope you make more videos regarding history. I love all your videos ❤️

"Kievan Rus'" - combination of words, invented in 19th century. It indicates a time period, when Kiev was a main city on Rus's lands. There were other Ruses, named after main city of time period. It was ended as russian tsardom.

"But then Russia fought back" feels like it could be the national slogan.

His voice is so epic, dramatic and catastrophic, graceful and great - just like Russian history!

I have to say that I am Russian and I want to say to you " Thank you!" I really liked your video. I am pleased that foreigners are interested in the history of Russia. Keep making that video. I will definitely watch.

Also interesting to realize how many countries actually got independent through Russia's expansionism. Starting with Greece, over Bulgaria, Romania etc.

In 1812 Moscow not just was destroyed by fire. It was burned by Russians so French army could not stay there in winter. It's a important fact to know what russian people can sacrifice for victory

My professor in political science stood infront of the whole class and said that if we choose his course because we wanted to know more about politics then we were better of quitting the course. He said "if you want to know about politics you shouldn't study political science, you should be studying history"

I think im ready to pass Mr. Vlad’s history test now!

There has never been a state with the name "Kievan Rus". There was a state "Rus". The term "Kievan Rus" was introduced by the historian M. A. Maksimovich in his work "Where does the Russian land come from" (1837) in a narrowly geographical sense to designate the Kiev principality, on a par with such phrases as "Chervonnaya Rus", "Suzdal Rus" and etc.
