Pope: "Oh, actually we can't provide you with anything right now but we'll give you this shiny new crow." Danylo: "...I'm converting back to Orthodoxy." Pope: "What?! You can't do that! We demand you convert back to Catholicism immediately!" Danylo: "What're you going to do? Have that army you promised to help fight the Mongols but all of a sudden can't muster come and attack me instead? Oh wait."

It's crazy absolute mind blowing how much fighting took place back in those days. I think they were way more crafty in war and the sword and bow then we can even imagine. Just think of alllll these years of swordmanship.

Excellent video 📹 We wait for the next part.

Anyone who has played Total War Medieval 1 knows that the Ukrainians/Rus should have built the biggest fortresses possible in Volga-Bulgaria and the Chimera and filled it with a ton of Halberdiers with gold armour and gold weaponry (but not enough to be starved out in a few turns). If they did this the Mongols would have all stood in archery range of the walls and sent units one by one to hit the gates with swords whilst standing under pouring boiling oil until the swords eventually made the portcullis suddenly disappear. Then they would be all killed in turn by the Halberdiers. Just talking from personal experience.

Welp, we have another set of royal brothers, civil war time! Romanovich brothers: We don't do that here.

They weren't proto-italians, they were already italians. That's way i said "Ruthenians", as then we know we're talking about the Rus that would, throughout centuries, become the Ukrainians. The Portuguese were once the same as the Galicians (in Galiza, Spain, both descendents of the inhabitants in the Northwest corner of Iberia), same language, culture and costumes. But through historical events, as the roman conquest of Iberia and the consequent divide of the peninsula with the roman provinces of Lusitania and Gallaecia, and later disputes between aristocratic families, churches and others, the soon to be Portuguese rebelled from Galiza and expanded south. Is somewhat similar with the Kievan Rus... A group that would later split between the Ukranians and Russians (as well the Belarusians... The almost always forgotten brother of the 3).

Good,

Seeing one of the brothers portraits all I see is Liam neeson.

I don't understand butthurt reactions in the comments over calling Ruthenians under the king Danylo proto-Ukrainians. Proto-Belarusians were a part of Lithuania back then. Proto-Russians -- part of Golden Horde as Vladimir-Suzdal Duchy. Proto-Ukrainians were a part of Ruthenian Kingdom. Later that Kingdom was annexed into Polish-Luthuanian Commonwealth and Ukrainian identity was formed in the midst of the Poles and Lithuanians. Or you don't understand modern meaning of the prefix "proto"? Nowadays, we have come to understand it as "before", rather than "first". Like, proto-Greeks before the Bronze Age were not Greek and didn't call themselves this way. Yet we call them proto-Greeks in the books.

After the fall of the Sassanids ( who fought off the Khazarians during their entire existence) Khazarians became a headache for the Rus people around the Caspian sea . Interestingly the " Rus vikings" were the ones who destroyed the khazar khaganat once and for all .

@Technocratos That's not what their neighbors believed,.... in fact ,they were considered so " uncivilized ", that th Sassanid Persians built the Derbent Fortifications at the northwestern Caucasian borders of Persia just in order to prevent them from plundering the villiges , ....The Russ Vikings had same problems with the khazars at their mutual southern borders . They were causing same troubles for the Arab Islamic khalifat that replaced the Sassanid empire . We even have Roman reports of how khazarian influential people caused corruption in the Roman/ Catholic church.

The Kievan Rus are Ruthenians as much as the Principalities of Novgorod, Chernigov, Smolensk, Vladimir-Suzdal, Pereyaslavl, Polotsk, Galicia-Volhynia, Murom-Razan, Turov and later Tver, Moscow, etc. Ukrainians on the other hand are a mix of both Ruthenian Ancestory and that of Scythians, Sarmatians, Khazars, Polovtsy (Cumans), Tatars, Circassians and several other cultures who inhabited the Pontic-Caspian Steppe, south of Kiev. Areas controlled by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania after driving out the Mongols of the Golden Horde before being conquered again by Moscow from Poland-Lithuania. How can you still call yourselves historians after blatantly rewriting history and applying this pseudo terminology. You should be charged for spreading misinformation, it's a disgrace.

Most Rusyns still live in their native land, just under the new rebranded name. "Zorya Halytska", the official press organ of the Supreme Rusyn Council in Lemberg (Lviv): _"We, the Galician Rusyns, belong to the great Rusyn nation, and consists of 15 million people, out of which two and a half million live in Galicia.

Omelian Ohonovsky was a professor of the Rusyn language and literature at University of Lemberg. Here is what he wrote in 1886: _"We are a separate nation and call ourselves Rusyns since the 10th century. The name "Moscow" had become the opposite of the name "Rus" in the 12th century when a separate Duchy of Suzdal had been formed to the north of Rus. And later the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which in the 16th century had become the Tsardom of Muscovy. Our homeland was defined by the name "Rus" until the 17th century, when the Muscovite tsars began to call their lands and also left-bank Ukraine by this name. Thus our homeland lost its name due to the will of strong tsars and was forced to look for another one in order not to disappear without a trace. But all other names meant only a part of our homeland. Such names were "Little Rus" (opposite of Great Rus or Muscovy), "Southern Rus", "The Cossack Hetmanate". The best name is "Ukraine" because it means most of our homeland. That’s why some Rusyn patriots call the whole Rus - Ukraine and therefore the Rusyn language - Ukrainian."_ Ohonovsky, O. (1886).

By the 20th century terms like "Ruthenian", "Podolian", or "Volhynian" were anachronistic and gave way to "Ukrainian". It was also used to describe the Cossack Hetmanate.

Same sh*t. All synonyms.

Ukraine is Rus'. Even before the 19th century, Ukrainians still called themselves Ruthenians or Rus'. the country that is now called "Russia" is Muscovian Tsardom , which was renamed "Russia" by Tsar Peter I in 1720 in order to steal the history of the Rus in this way, to which these wild Finno-Ugric people have nothing to do (at most, as a colony of the Rus in the Middle Ages that paid tribute to Kiev ). that's all. but it's hard for Europeans to understand because they confuse the concepts of RUS and RUSSIA, thinking that they are one and the same.

If that were the case, would Tsar Peter name the land Finland or Urgic? I find it hard to swallow my friend. Peter as I know had wars against the Finnish, why would he attack his "Finnish homeland" why would his subjects speak a Slavic tongue? Did Peter go about educating the Fins and Ugric populations in Moscovia a new tongue? As you know Peter had a German pedigree backround as many dynasties do even to this day. Do you think Prussia attempted to steal the Rus name? And who was Rurik to you? And what is your position on the people of Finland today?
