The truth about the founding of Kiev is actually a combination of both theories. Kiev already existed before the Vikings arrived, but it was only a small, unimportant town. Only after the Vikings made it into their capital did Kiev grow into a large and important city. Also, this is not really a theory as much as historical fact since the history of Kiev is very well documented.

THE SPRADICK RED MOO demon thing They actually were that bad. According to Iranian scholars of that day (so the people who saw the brutality of the crusades first hand) it was (paraphrasing) : "The worst thing that ever happened to the Islamic community". There were instances of closing whole trade routes because the ground was soaked in human blood and excrement. Not to mention that the countryside in northern China was literally covered in human bones. The main difference is: That was in the Middle Ages. Massacres on whole towns (including children and animals) were not only a Mongol thing, that was everyone's thing. Mongols were Championship level Gold medalists in genocide, though. Btw I don't hate the Mongol Khaganate (or present day Mongolians - who should be proud of their heritage the same as other cultures are proud of their conquest). I am fascinated by them: Their skill, organization and strategy is something to admire, but let's not forget that in Iran alone the estimated number of deaths is between 10-15 million people and most of those numbers are because of massacres like those in Hamadan or Nishapur.

The word "slave" is derived from the Latin word "esclave", which is still pretty much the same word in Spanish (esclavo) and French (esclave). This word is comprised of the prefix "es" (for instance, es-cape, es-cort, es-calate, es-say, etc.,) meaning under or beneath and the suffix "clave" which means "key". The words put together literally translate into "under-key". The words esclave (under key), con-clave (with key) and en-clave (in key) all derive from the exact same suffix word "clave". The word "slave" never had any connection with the word "slav", which itself is just a foreign corruption of the word "Slovyanin".

Aurelius M. sound like Moscow propaganda !So your words costs nothing ...First before writing prove your "knowledge". Ukraine was known under the title "Ukraine" in 1918 as Ukrainan Peoples republic and Kossak state of Bohdan Khmelnytsky and also as Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Ruthenia which means Ukraine .Because Rus or Ruthenia is name that refer only to Kievan land or Ukraine and could not be refer to Moscovia because Moscovia never express himself in such name and it good proves by ancient literature . In those days always been said : "This one went from Novgorod in Kiev ,Rus " . Such words good show that Rus or Ruthenia was refer only to modern Ukraine ..Ukraine means in most use meaning"land"or "country" and this word well known from 12 century and in that time Ukraine does not "stand on border "because was self-sufficient and experienced a flourishing .Ethnonim ukrainians well known from 15 century and was second along with the ethnonym ruthenians . When Moscovia at Peter the 1 rulership in 18 century claiming the legacy of Kyivan princes Ukraine stole and assigned our name Rus and start use in greek form "Russia " and rename Moscovia in Russia and called themselves as "russians" . Ukrainians that were known as ruthenians or rusyns must somehow distinguish themselves because in russian and ukrainan it soudns equally and similarly and start used the second ancient name ukrainians and Ukraine instead of Rus more and more to end of 19 century and but untill 20 century especially in Poland and Slovakia ukrainians Ukrainian called Ruthenians and Ukraine Rus or Ruthenian land and our language ruthenian language.

I'm surprised that no one commented on the fact that John never mentions how Ivan the terrible's father died when he was three, and then his mother, who was acting as Ivan's regent, was probably poisoned by the boyars. Ivan was controlled and mistreated by the boyars until he began his rule. It's easy to just say that Ivan was terrible and earned the title but that is in no way the whole story.

I figured that a lot of people are kinda confused about the meaning of the word "Slav". The root "Slav" means "Glory" in all Slavic languages, except for Polish (most likely due to Swedish influence, though the Polish version "khwala" is synonymous and understandable in other Slavic languages) and Slovene. In my opinion he should have said that because he was studying Russian as he said. "Slavic" means "Glorious" which is why you can find a lot of important people's names that have the root "slav" in history of Russia, Belorussia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, and other Slavic cultures. One example: SLAU in Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia. Today's Czech name Vac'lav has the same root as its Russian version Viacheslav. It should make sense that Slavic cultures have been calling themselves not "slaves" but "the glorious". Slave and Slav seem alike but the groups of languages are way different and this "seeming" connection doesn't exist. In addition, Ivan IV's name in Russian sounds as "Grozny" which more precisely could be translated to English as "menacing/threatening" rather than "terrible". (Some additional info: Chechen capital is called "Grozny". The name was given by the Russians long time ago during conflicts of the Russian Empire and Ottoman Empire.)

Thanks! 💗

Watching this the day of my AP World history midterm!

I was waiting so long. Thanks for a video about Rus, it's interesting to see how people from USA think about history of my country. What about video about Russian Empire? Something about the Katherine 2 may be.

About the nickname of Ivan IV - 'The Terrible'. In English language it may be have the meaning such as bad, but in Russian it mean something else. The etymology of this word came from word 'гроза', which mean nature phenomenon 'lighting'. So, in Russian the meaning of the Ivan's nickname means severe, strict, something which may be frightened you, but you adored it in the same time.

This is good. Perhaps a vid about Nogai Khan and the Golden Horde during his reign might be interesting as it pertains to Russian and the Mongols.

There is in XII century slavic people dont spoke in English (like and other world). 2. Word "Slavic" in slavic launguages came from word "Slava" - that mean in English "Glory". Also, this word "Slava"(Glory) you can hear many times in russian hymn and civil slogans.

Russian being an East Slavic language has nothing to do with the fact that the original Rus' people were a Viking tribe and that the Kievan Rus' federation was founded and ruled by the Varangian (Viking) Rurik Dynasty. Likewise, Franks were West Germanic but French is a Latin language spoken by the Gallo-Roman people who kept the ethnonym of their Germanic rulers, and Bulghars were a Turkic people but Bulgarian is a South Slavic language spoken by the Thraco-Slav people who kept the ethnonym of their rulers.

+Zaya Earthling Exactly my thoughts! As far as I know, the normanist theory is still mainstream, except in Russia...

Just gonna leave this here for the ppl who read your comment in the future. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarians (go and do some research if you are offended by a wiki link - youll get the same resault) "Overall Until recently the Bulgarians were believed to be a tribe of Turkic origin, but the results of the study had failed to show any Turkic connection, showing that the Bulgarian population is genetically purely Indo-European and stands closest to the group of the Slavic peoples with closest genetic similarities found with the Croats, Poles and Ukrainians; the scientists reckon that Thracian and Bulgar DNA is also present in case the Bulgars were genetically unlike the Turkic peoples and originated in Eastern Iran.[76][77] According to other scientists, such as the Bulgarian Family Tree DNA Group Administrator, the Pelasgian (pre-Thracian) descent and Hg I are numerically the most significant parts of the Bulgarian population." So ye, update your self-thought history for future commenting.

viks4an But that was exactly the whole point! The Bulghars, a Turkic tribe, conquered a largely Slavic population and imposed their demonym on the people (now: Bulgarian), but not their language. The Franks, a Germanic tribe, conquered a largely Romano-Gallic population and imposed their demonym on the people (now: French), but not their language. The Roslagen Varangians, a Norse tribe, conquered a largely Slavic population and imposed their demonym on the people (now: Russian), but not their language. Same things! Is that really so hard to understand?

Legit surprised at the beginning when you spoke Russian. All I thought was, "Hey, this American can speak with not that bad of an accent. Good job my friend, care to join me for some kanyak?"

yay the monolinguals my favorite exception.

The Vikings did found the Kievan Rus, however they only ruled as a Norse-speaking elite minority for a few generations before they gradually "Slavisized". A few examples of the remaining norse influence can be found in Russian names, such as Vladimir (from Valdemar), Ivan (from Ivar) and Olga (from Helga). Other examples are the Russian suffix of 'grad' in city names (i.e. Volgograd) coming from gård/gärd/gard. Also, the Ukrainian word for council (rada) can be traced to the Norse "råd", which shows the increased Norse influence on Ukraine than the Russian version of the word - "soviet".

On the contrary, "Valdemar" came from the slavic "Vladimir" (vladet' - to rule, mir - world). A lot of slavic names end with "mir". Also "Ivan" is just a common christian name and it has many analogues in other languages (John, Evan, Sean, Juan, Jean, Johann, Hans, Giovanni, etc...) But you're right about "Olga" and there was a male version "Oleg" (from Hélgi). Also the most Scandinavic name in Russia is Igor (from Yngvarr). And i'm not sure about norse influence when it comes to similarities between "grad" and "gard". I think they are similar because it is an ancient word that comes from Indo-European language family.

Meanwhile Rurikd dynasty rueld Russia since 862 until 16th century. Last Rurikids ruled as Russian Tsars meanwhile no one ever heard of Ukraine- Borderland.
