Origins of the Slavs

Slavic is the largest linguistic group in Europe, but what are the origins of the Slavic language and people? Where did they come from and how did they come to have such a prominent place in Europe? Looking at ancient history, archaeology, linguistics and genetics we investigate the origins of the Slavic people and how they came to possess the lands they now hold.

    The Slavs were not the last tribes of Europeans that accepted Christianity. Actually this process began in the VIII century in the south, and by the year 1000 all Slavic rulers were baptized. The last to be christened were Lithuanians, which happened gradually in the XIV century, and was fulfilled by the baptizing of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila who became the king of Poland and established the Polish Lithuanian Union. The pesants, however resisted christianization in a long time, as was also the case of Celtic and Germanic tribes.

    It seems to have been an Indo-European tradition too. It was similar among Germanic and Greek people to show hospitality. In the Norse saga “Thors visit to Jotunheim” Thor and Loki call for hospitality from a farmer and his family who must feed them as honoured guests. These traditions may go back to before our languages even separated.

    One of the possible reasons for this hospitality is that according to legend, the god Perun would often assume the form of a traveler and walk amongst his people to see how they conducted themselves. And if you refused him hospitality, you would be punished or cursed. So people assumed that a traveler might be their top god in disguise and spared no expense in accommodating them.

In Greek myth, there is a story where Zeus goes to a village, expecting hospitality. All the village but the last couple deny him it.

    The Northern Crusades, in terms of scale, were even larger than those for Jerusalem when considering the sheer number of warriors involved, a fact that is not widely known. Moreover, the atrocities committed by the Germans during the northern crusades served as just a prelude to the subsequent history of the region.

The slavs are the only ethnics in Europe who can destroy each other". Considering what happen in Ukraine just now he was right. Many of slavic countries hate Russians and are ready to join the West and go to war against them. The biggest haters seems to be Poles and Ukrainians.

    Minor correction for the use of the word 'slava': As you said, it means glory, but to get the meaning 'glory to', the next word needs the dativ case. So 'glory to god' is 'slava bogu'. 'Slava boga', on the other hand, means someting like 'glory of god' (in Russian at least). For 'Glory to Ukraine', it should be 'slava Ukraini' in Ukrainian (in Russian it would be 'slava Ukrainye'). 'Slava Ukraina' just means 'Glory Ukraine', which doesn't really mean anything. Good video!

No fewer crusaders took part in these campaigns than in the Middle East.

    Current theory is that Slavs originated somewhere at the border of modern day ukr. and Russia. However I must say, that there's an unspoken history which was known not so long ago. That the city of Great Novgorod, where Rurik established Russia, was originally called "Slovensk" and that original city was built there by Slavs around 5 thousand or so years ago.

  • @IvanMiticPlus

    All respect to this video. Slavs are the most underestimated group of people in Europe even though they represent the half of Europe and it's a shame that the world just started to get familiar with them. The most underestimated among them are the Southern Slavs on the Balkans. Even though we - the Southern Slavs are about 50% Slavs and 50% the old Europeans, we are among the first who adopted Christianity. There are many evidences the the first apostles had spreaded Christianity on the Balkans and the early Christians built the first churches there. Constantine The Great - Byzantine (Roman) emperor, born in the city of Niš (Serbia), was the one who made Christianity legal in the empire (4th century) and we can find a number of evidences of early Christianity all around Serbia and other Balkans countries. That's the reason why Serbian medieval kings and rulers were so devoted to faith and many of them became saints after they died. So it is very wrong to look for the roots of Christianity in Russia and or any other East European countries other then Serbia and Bulgaria and claiming how Slavs adopted Christianity later then Western European peoples. My advice - start making efforts in researching more about the history and pre-history of the Balkans, open your mind and stop listening to the British propaganda. You will be pleasantly surprised and find out that the whole history of Europe and European languages and its secrets lays here - in the Balkans that represents the true cradle of Europe. (The first permanent settlements in Europe, the first metallurgy, the first agriculture, the first alphabet, the first urban planning... many of those before the first known from the Middle East).

How to put it. Russian is the least mutually understandable Slavic language by the rest. There are even more similar parties between Ukrainian and Polish than there are between Ukrainian and Russian. So... Russian is not exactly the best language to pick for deep diving into Slavism and Slavic similarities. (Hence why you also use Germania for Germany rather than Nemci like the rest).

If they only checked the Serbian Ornamentics and Heraldics all around the Eastern German cities, Dresden as the main one, all would become better aware who founded Germany and why did Hitler first order to bomb the old National Library on 06.04.1941 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and flatten it with the soil.

    It can easily be imagined that Cucuten > Trypillian people became assimilated by the Yamna neighbours and that they spread as a minority lineage alongside haplogroups R1a and R1b as they advanced toward the Baltic with the Corded Ware expansion. Alternatively, I2-L621 lineages could have lived in relative isolation from the mainstream Proto-Indo-European society somewhere around Ukraine, Poland or Belarus, then as the centuries and millennia passed, would have blended with the predominantly R1a populations around them. The resulting amalgam would have become the ancestors of the Proto-Slavs.

What is absolutely certain is that they were not Indo-Europeans and cultural continuity with the subsequent population is not archaeologically confirmed.

    Real common Slavic term for "King" is another borrowing from Germanic - "Knyaz", "Knes", etc.,: - cf. Gothic "cyningas"- Protoslavs are believed to pass the period of subjugation to early Gothic state. "Kral" is seemingly a late borrowing, and, more likely, was initially used in the meaning of the "Great Ruler", "the Emperor" (Charlemagne).

So this borrowing from Gothic had been "re-borrowed" by Latin-speaking population in Carpatian region.

Influence that can be felt even today în the pronunciation of words and many words and expressions. It's also correct that from early 19th century, the romanians were heavily influenced by the western ideas at that time and was a direct response to the Ottoman and Tsarist empires imposing their own influence.

    Scientists say that the more diluted a substance is the more it's molecules try to imprint their own characteristics on the surrounding atoms. With this in mind it is not uncommon for people to gravitate or incline to take interest or even preference to the culture with the smallest percentage of their D.N.A. I saw one guy on KZread about D.N.A testimonies say he was surprised at his 1% Italian D.N.A as he had always loved Italian food and culture. For me this was no surprise and is why I'm watching this video with 1.8% Slavic D.N.A. Before I had my D.N.A done I use to do Cossack dancing and my favorite drink was Vodka.

    Thank you for this excellent video on Slavs. It was very well done with respect to the Slavic people, for which I thank you. It’s very tragic that there is a war between Russia and Ukraine. I am Russian on my mother’s side, born and raised in Russia, and I happened to be very against war between Slavic nations. I think ancient history of Slavic people is very murky. Officially Slavic people emerged in the fifth century, and the origins of Slavic people is debated even now it’s always some mystery, lack of sources, lack of evidence they say, but the first human settlement on the territory of Russia dates back to the Oldowan period in the early Lower Paleolithic. I am referring to settlement of Sungir carbon dating to about 30,000 years old. It consisted of a large Upper Paleolithic settlement and a cemetery with a number of well-preserved burials. Another interesting detail has to do with my birth place, Rostov-on-Don, the river Don was once called Tanais, and according to official information Rostov-on-Don was an ancient Greek city in the Don river delta, called the Maeotian marshes in classical antiquity. I don’t remember exactly what source, but someone connected the mythological Amazon female warriors to the area of Rostov on Don. I know it sounds ridiculous, because we all think that the Amazon female fighters were in Greece, but it’s not so ridiculous when you learn that Rostov-on-Don is a hotbed for archaeologists. There has been many burials discovered in that area of female warriors. One place even had three generations of such female warriors buried along with their horses, weapons and garments. The female warriors resembled something Scythians or Sarmatians, and I believe it has connection with the fact that this is also the place of the Don Cossacks who were also a horse warrior people. My mother comes from generations of Don Cossacks

    1. A report of the envoy of the Duke of Milan from 1454 calls Skanderbeg "an Albanian Christian" ("quello Sanderbech...è christiano Albanexe"). 2. The Italian humanist and poet Antonio Bonfini Asculano (1427-1502) calls Skanderbeg an "Albanian prince" ("Sandorbegum Albanensem Principem"). 3. Even the Venetians never questioned his Albanian origins. In 1464, a Venetian senator angrily said of Skanderbeg, that "we do not trust him at all, because he is Albanian, treacherous and dangerous" ("nuy non si fidamo di luy per niente, perche è Albanese et è traditore et tristo!"). 4. In 1464, the Duke of Milan, Francesco Sforza, wrote a letter to Skanderbeg, addressing him with these words: "The excellent and powerful lord, like our dear brother, the Albanian lord Gjergj Kastrioti, called Skanderbeg" . ("Illustri et potenti Domino tanquam fratri nostro carissimo Domino Georgio Castriot aliter Scanderbeg albanesi"). 5. In a letter from Giovanni Antonio, the prince of Taranto, on October 31, 1460, at the beginning of the letter he addresses Skanderbeg with these words: "Giovanni Antonio, prince of Taranto, sends greetings to George the Albanian!" ("Ioannes Antonius princeps Tarenti Georgio Albano salutem!"). He goes on to say: "Italian blood is not afraid of the Albanian face!" (nec faciam Albanam timebit Italicus sanguis!") and other such insults to the Albanians. Likewise Ottoman sources, historians and chroniclers, describe him as being Albanian: Asikpasazade (1400-1484) Tursun Beg (1420-1499) Mehmed Nesri (1450-1520) Idris Bitlisi (1457-1520) Ibn Kemal (1468-1534) Sadeddin Efendi (1536-1599) Mustafa Ali (1541-1600) Solakzade (1592-1658) and others, all describe him as being an Albanian (arnavud). Hoca Sâdeddin Efendi (1536-1599), in his Tacü't-Tevarih, says: “The Albanian ruler had a handsome son named Iskender, whose bodily figure inspired love, while his attractive face was an expression of his beauty and grace.” Ibn Kemal, historian of the Turkish court during Skanderbeg’s wars, writes: “The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battlefield, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse…” Skanderbeg’s own testimony, however, is stronger than both Western and Ottoman sources combined. So what excatly did he say about himself? Let’s see how he replied to the albanophobe cited above, namely Giovanni Antionio of Taranto who had insulted the Albanian nation: “Moreover, you scorn our people, and compared the Albanians to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with only insults. It would seem you know nothing of the origins of our race. Our elders were the Epirotes from whence Pyrrhus himself came forth, the might of whom the Romans could barely withstand. Those very Epirotes whom with their weapons set forth and conquered Taranto and much of Italy. There exists no challenge to their might from the likes of the Tarantines, a species of wet men born only to catch fish. And since you proclaim Albania as part of Macedonia, you grant also then, our elders as nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great, defeating all the people that came before them with great ease. From those men descend these who you now call sheep. But the nature of things have not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?”
