Ok, this is weird, but straight forward some mistakes: 1) slavs were hunter gathrers, but not nomads 2) you say there was no feudalism wooden castles functioned the same, villagers fled to the woods, while those close to cities - went to the city walls. 3) yes, most of cities' walls before the end of mongol yoke were wooden (majority, but not all), yet after 14th century this started to change in favor of stone kremlins remnants of which you can find still in some old cities (in most they were rebuilt later). 4) speaking of parliamentarism you miss out on Zemstva, which had substantial power when Romamovs just came to power. 5) no merchants, wat?! That was a whole set of classes under Peter's and Ekaterina II order of social classes. These don't undermine nor explained what happened in the second half of 19th century, 20th and modern russia simply because the revolution and fall of the soviet union changed the social layout drammatically.

I was today years old when I found out that some historians portray the Mongols in a favorable light..... They may have conquered the largest area of any army ever, but they did so at a tremendous human cost. Tens and dozens of millions of people from China to Persia to Russia to the Levant to Hungary were slaughtered in their insatiable thirst for plunder and tribute. They burned, destroyed and sacked possibly thousands of towns and cities, and enslaved and subjugated the people they conquered. Some places that they attacked took hundreds of years to recover, demographically and economically. Kind of a no-brainer that they were a negative force in human history.

economically, yes, but in terms of military, they caused a lot of progress, similar to how the ancient greeks and romans caused military development by conquering large areas. to resist the mongols, chinese and european states were forced to develop military material and tactics to resist their invasions, such as building stone walls and castles, improving military formations, and the creation of professional military forces, notably heavy infantry and cavalry. in western europe, mostly in france, this was forced by the moor invasions from iberia. in central europe, it was the nomadic tribes such as the bulgars and mongols that forced these developments. without these invasions, europe would not have gained the military and technological progress that lead to worldwide military dominance and colonialism.

Plus, up to 1970's almost everybody had a couple guns at home, quite hard to subdue the population. Nowadays, drug lords have guns and self-defense groups are becoming more common as corrupt officials do nothing.

Absolute nonsense and propaganda. As a Russian, I couldn't watch that past 10 minutes. 1. Medieval Russia built lots and lots of "castles", stone kremlin fortifications existed and exist to this day in most historically russian cities. 2. Russia never adopted the mongol tactics ofwarfare and rarely used cavalry. Russians were notorious for the use of infantry with polearms. Kremlins were wooden in early periods of medieval Russia, but not for the purpose of "burning it themselves", wooden walls were just cheap, and as soon as Russia encountered the mongols all the kremlins were transformed into stone ones. 3. "Muscovy" And "muscovite" are derogatory terns used by Poland-lithuania that didn't recognize the Tsardom of Russia, was at war with it for 300 years and had and has extreme animosity towards It. It has nothing to do with Russian history itself, if you want to use those terms - name your videos as "Polish outlook on Russian history" Instead of calling it Russian history.

В сравнении с тогдашней западной Европой Русь была достаточно бедной. Благодаря этому, экономическим последствиям монгольского ига и тесному соседству с кочевниками вообще, начиная с 15 века русское войско стремительно ориентализируется, и значительную его долю начинают составлять конные лучники, снаряженные куда легче своих славных предков времён битвы на Калке.

Europe had much more and much better arable lands with a much better climate, which made it possible to save up surplus food for getting the economy moving. Meanwhile, the Russians were busy not with economic development, but with survival. That applied also to the ruling class, with princes often going hungry themselves more than once in a season.

I would say this video is overall accurate, but there were a few glaring points that stood out to me as either inaccurate or exaggerated: 1) The real origin of Russian absolutism is not the Mongols but the Byzantine empire, where you had an autocratic emperor answering only to God who had no checks and balances on his authority. There is a reason why Russian rulers called themselves "tsar" (caesar) and not "khans". Indeed, the fact is that the Orthodox Church (brought over from Byzantium) was actually one of the strongest forces pushing for a more powerful central state - the reason why Ivan the Terrible became the first divinely-appointed "tsar" at just the age of 14, which laid the foundation for his tyranny later on, is because the Church hierarchy pushed for it. For this reason, I think it is a much more convincing argument that the Orthodox Church is to blame for Russian absolutism, and not the Mongols who left very little real impact on the laws and institutions of Russia. 2) The solidification of serfdom in Russia took place not under the Mongols, but more than 2 centuries after their arrival at the end of the 16th century, when Russian peasants gradually lost their right to leave their landlords. While slavery is one of the oldest institutions in Russian history, going back to the first legal codes of Kievan Rus, it is not accurate to say that serfdom was the result of Mongol influence - in fact, Russia ended up embracing serfdom just like countries like Poland-Lithuania which were much more "free"/decentralized at a state level. 3) Saying that Russia had no real "classes" is extremely inaccurate. In the 17th century, in fact, you had the start of a very rigid caste system that separated serfs from free peasants and townsmen/merchants, which was codified into law in the 1649 Ulozhenie. This system did not last forever, of course, and by 1917 both Moscow and St. Petersburg (and many other cities in Russia) had as big and respectable of a bourgeoisie as any comparable European city - and it is that same bourgeoisie which ended up spearheading the November and October revolutions. After looking at the sources for this video, I think it is clear that it is not based on a strong academic foundation, but is more rooted in shallow/mistaken claims made in popular history books, and particularly in the discredited "Mongol yoke" theory. For that reason, I would recommend anyone interested in an actual look at Russian history to read the "Cambridge History of Russia" series of volumes, which is about as accurate and detailed as you can get.

Russian absolutism is a tendency linked to the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality, which would eventually become the Grand Principality of Moscow. Including pre-Mongol events such as the sacking of Kyiv and stronger princely authority in Vladimir and later Moscow, the Mongols granting Ivan I Kalita the privilege of Yarylk, or the right to gather tributary from the Christian principalities under the Golden Horde, including the Rus and the principalities established in the north by Kyiv, including Tver, Rostov, Beloozero and other colonial establishments that had by this time mostly Slavicised and Christianised their Finno-Uralic inhabitants. While the Muscovite Church and the Orthodox Byzantine tradition had a defining influence in the development of the Muscovite autocracy that we know all too well today, it only really gave a Christian face to an already long-established tradition of despotism and lawlessness (i.e. the decrees of the Tsar rather than any real law) that defined Muscovite civilisation in contrast to Rus. Serfdom was indeed not codified until the 17th century, but it existed in Muscovy well before then. English accounts of serfdom during the reign of Ivan IV show that serfdom and slavery were alive and well within Muscovy, regardless of whatever ukazy the Tsar gave at the time. To say that Muscovy had no codified class system is accurate, as there was a deep inequality between a peasant and the Grand Prince, and later Tsars, where the entire land under Muscovite rule was the property of the Grand Prince. This created a system of the autocrat and those he ruled, with the ruled divided into the simple divisions of the peasants, the clergy, and those who helped rule, those being the nobles. It is due to the modernising efforts of various emperors to take advantage of unseen talent to more efficiently and ruthlessly rule that we see the lessening of the caste system that was established in 1649, and indeed there would be a growing bourgeoisie in many cities by 1917, as you said. However, it is important to note that the caste system would continue to exist, this time in the form of the Party and those ruled by the Party, after 1918, as well as the continuation of the time-honoured tradition of brutal, cruel autocracy justified by what-about-isms and other bullshit. Lastly, the Mongol Yoke theory is not much of a theory. Much of our post-Soviet systems of power, including the idea of verticals and using them to consolidate power around oneself to prevent power going to any sort of opposition, is still a thriving strategy in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other post-Soviet dictatorships.

The author falsely calls Russian authoritarianism unique, as if it is something special, which has come from something special. This is not true. Anyone who is not too lazy to study the political system of France during the time of Napoleon III will see that it is very similar to the current political system of Russia. The whole "uniqueness" of Russia is in its backwardness. Russia does not have its own unique development path, it is on the same path as all other countries, only behind the advanced countries. But also ahead of many backward states.

The lack of bourgeoisie in Tolstoy's novel was obviously overcome by 1913, moreover, in 1917 the Bolsheviks believed that there was an excess of bourgeoisie and tried to solve this problem by shooting. As for the difference in the paths of development of the colonizing countries and the colonized countries, of course one cannot expect that the former colonies will start their development from scratch and go through the era of the birth of capitalism and bourgeois revolutions, they went through these stages as provinces of the empire. But one way or another, the laws of development are common to all.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO READ: To be honest, another attempt to give a simplified explanation of complex socio-political, economic and historical processes. Russia survived the period of medieval feudalism in the same way (although we did not have stone castles, there were many fortresses: both wooden and stone). We also had specific principalities, where the vassals of the Grand Duke ruled. Often these were the younger brothers of the Prince, nobility from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Russia or from the Horde and its later fragments. Peasants had to pay taxes (obrok), which were both food and cash, and work for a certain time of the year on the fields of the feudal lord (barschina). For the fact that the feudal lord owns the land and receives food along with money, he had to serve the Prince militarily with his horses, people and weapons (appear to the Prince "konno, lyudno i oruzhno"). The last specific principality was liquidated under Tsar Fyodor the Blessed at the end of the 16th century, but the nobles and boyars continued to serve the tsar on the same principle. Some historians even draw analogies: the serfs were serfs for the nobility, just as the nobles were serfs for the Prince and Tsar. The situation will change radically after Peter the Great. The regular army will finally appear after Peter and His Grandfather and Father (Mikhail I & Alexei I). In the reign of Elizabeth the Merciful, the nobles will actually cease to be serfs of the Monarch, and there will be almost no wars for 20 years. Therefore, already under Peter the Third and Catherine the Great, two important documents (very similar in essence) will be issued that will allow the nobility not to serve the Monarch without fail; including civil service. The historian Vasily Klyuchevsky said better than others about this: “The day after the Manifesto on the Liberty of the Nobility, a decree on the Liberty of the Peasantry was to follow.” But this was not done. The peasants were still required to work for the nobles for another 99 years. I also want to say that in Russia serfdom developed VERY LATE. In Russia, 1497 is usually considered the date of the beginning of the enslavement of the peasants, when Ivan the Great introduced his Sudebnik (Code of Laws to judge (sudit')). But then the peasants were simply limited in the transition from working for one feudal lord to another. The Day of St. George the Victorious was celebrated in Russia 2 times a year: April 23 (May 6) and November 26 (December 9). A week before November 26 and within a week after it, the peasants could change the owner and pay a special tax to the former owner for this. That is, only 2 weeks a year, the state opened such an opportunity for the peasants. And it is late in the fall - when the crop is harvested, and it is too early to sow a new one. In 1550 Ivan the Terrible introduces his Sudebnik. Then he increased that tax. And in 1581 he introduces "Forbidden years", when the peasants in some years could not change their master. In 1597, Fyodor the Blessed introduced a 5-year term for the search for fugitive peasants. And in 1607, Vasily Shuisky increased this period to 15 years. In 1649, the Zemsky Sobor adopted the Council Code, which made the search for fugitives indefinite. It is 1649 that is considered in Russia by most historians as the final year of the introduction of serfdom, except for the theory of the decree of 1592, which has no direct evidence and almost no supporters. It is important to point out here that enslavement since 1581 was carried out solely due to the fact that the Russian economy was in crisis after the Oprichnina, and then also after the Time of Troubles and during constant wars with the Crimea, Poland and Sweden. Speaking about the Church, it is important to understand that for a long time the metropolitan was sent to Russia by Byzantium or the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, which caused scandals and quarrels for a very long time. Often Patriarchs in Russia were elected against the will of the Tsar, and in 1700 the Church lost a Patriarch altogether for 217 years. Also, the Church often stood up in opposition to the royal power. So it was under the Oprichnina, so it was at the beginning of the reign of Peter the Great, so it was during the feudal internecine strife of the princes. (The Church, by the way, also had its own peasants and was an important economic actor that could only be strangled under Catherine the Great.)

Localism / mestnichestvo - the principle according to which the nobility received positions NOT because of favoritism, but because of the degree of nobility of the family. At the same time, the historian Dmitry Volodikhin believes that despite the obvious flaws, localism at the very least reconciled the serving aristocrats, determining who could apply for which official level. The nobility of the Russian state consisted of the old Moscow aristocracy, princely families from the annexed Russian lands, fugitive Lithuanian-Russian princes and serving Tatar princes. According to the researcher, without a regulatory system, noble people would now and then arrange strife and coups, arguing for a place at the helm of power. Thus, localism protected the Russian state from difficult internal wars. The oprichnina didn't start like that at all. Tsar Ivan escaped from Moscow and took the treasury with him. The people, of course, were very surprised and even frightened, since the Tsar refused to rule the country; he sent 2 letters to the capital. In one, he turned to the people and said that he did not hold evil "on the simple good people". In another letter he sent to the boyars, Ivan accused them of many evil deeds. According to Russian Wikipedia: "After reading the message of the Tsar in Moscow, the anti-boyar situation sharply escalated - thousands of Muscovites came to the Kremlin, enraged by the betrayals of the boyars named in the message, and the Boyar Duma had no choice but to ask Ivan to return to the kingdom." At the same time, historians (like Skrynnikov) note that the split between the tsar and the elite was heating up for a long time. Many managed to escape abroad, someone was caught but forgiven, someone was exiled to a monastery, some lands were taken from someone, etc. Although the oprichnina existed after 1572, it was changed, and terror was brought to naught, because. in 1571, the Crimean hordes burned Moscow, and the Oprichnina army simply fled. By the way, there are studies that show that Ivan did not achieve anything by terror, because the boyars did not lose their enormous influence and privileges. So the author of the video exaggerates the horrors of Oprichnina. And boyar families have always been few historically. They were in the Boyar Duma - the council under the Tsar. Well, speaking of journalists; you can find similar listings for many other countries in Europe. Russia is not alone here, and journalists are killed not only by the authorities - media figures stepped on toes to many people. As for Novgorod, the local republic very quickly became a plutocracy and an oligarchy. And Russian goods, by the way, were often not allowed into Europe. In addition, trade was barter, not monetary. Already in the 15th century, the Hansa fell into decline, and in the second half of the 16th century it completely bent - therefore, Russia would hardly have been so cool and democratic if it had developed not on the basis of Moscow, but of Novgorod, which militarily was VERY weak. Even as part of "despotic" Moscow, Novgorod actively traded with the Hansa. Novgorod tried to leave Moscow and go to Lithuania - they called for one of the Lithuanian princes to rule. Many soldiers did not want to fight for the boyars they hated, and the personal army of the Novgorod lord generally stood inactive throughout the battle in 1471. After the battle, Ivan III moved with the main army to Novgorod. Meanwhile, there was no help from Lithuania. The people sent the archbishop to ask the prince for mercy. As a result, Novgorod renounced communication with the Lithuanian sovereign, ceded part of the Dvina land to the Grand Duke and undertook to pay an indemnity. Ivan dealt with many representatives of the local nobility, taking away their lands, and exiling them to the central regions of the country (this is not the Gulag, as the author of the video says, Moscow is located in Central Russia). In 1477-78 Novgorod was finally annexed. In 1477, a group of pro-Moscow Novgorod boyars sent a petition to Ivan III asking him to take power in Novgorod into his own hands. Delighted by this proposal, the prince sent ambassadors to Novgorod to find out what kind of government they would like. Veche spoke in favor of maintaining the existing order. After that, Ivan III set out on a new campaign - Novgorod lost again. As for Parliaments, there were almost none in Europe either. Estates General in France is no better than Zemsky Sobors in Russia. The feeding system reached its greatest development in the 14th-15th centuries (and from the author’s video it comes as if it existed in the new Russia after 1480 and right up to Peter the Great). Russian Wiki: "Feeding gave rise to arbitrariness and abuse of local authorities interested in enrichment during their stay in the feeders. Therefore, already from the 15th century, the Moscow Grand Dukes regulated the income of feeders by issuing special “kormlenny`kh” and statutory letters. At the end of the 15th - beginning of the 16th century, natural feed was converted into cash. As a result of the zemstvo reform of 1555-56, the feeding system was abolished. In 1555, a decree was issued on the abolition of feedings, which was applied, however, not immediately and not everywhere: sources continue to mention feedings during the second half of the 16th century. Fees for the maintenance of feeders have been converted into a special tax in favor of the treasury (“kormleny`i` okup”), set at a certain amount for various categories of land." Increasing the retirement age is more than normal in today's world. Even if Russia were more developed, this would postpone the reform, but would not cancel it. In Russia, every year there are more and more pensioners per working person - the population is rapidly aging due to demographic pits. Russia has a solidary system of pensions: the pensions of current pensioners are partly state money, and partly taxes from working citizens in favor of the Pension Fund of Russia. Well, to expose everything as if the only thing she did was to squeeze all the juice out of the common people, it’s completely wrong. Peasants are property and an instrument of earning. It is unprofitable for the owner that they be poor and hungry - such peasants do not work well. The owner helps his peasants when, for example, their house burned down. The owner gives them tools and seeds if necessary. And that further... And some strange comparison with China: he says, their bureaucracy controlled the Emperor, while our Tsars did whatever they wanted. The aristocracy in the same way limited the Royal Power, being a significant counterbalance to the central power. Many Russian rulers could not realize one or another of their ideas only for the reason that most of the aristocrats were against it, some of them were killed.

@@Pelaaja20 But it was the nobles and the army who overthrew rulers in Russia that they did not like during the entire 18th century. So Catherine the First, and Anna Ioannovna, and Elizabeth Petrovna, and Catherine the Great ascended the throne. It was the nobles who did not allow Catherine the Great to begin the process of emancipating the peasants. She wrote about this to Baron Melchior Grimm (if I remember correctly). She said that she would immediately be stoned to death for trying to abolish serfdom. Her husband Peter III was also overthrown by the nobles and the guards. Her son (Paul the First) was killed in the same way by aristocratic conspirators in 1801. After his death, a joke arose that in Europe autocracy is limited by parliaments, while in Russia it is limited by a noose around the neck of the Tsar. Catherine's grandson - Alexander the Blessed - created 2 advisory bodies with him: the Private Committee and the State Council. The first was disbanded over time. The second had many predecessors, but the State Council then existed in this format until 1917, even having been the upper house of Parliament. It was the State Council that prevented the Tsar from implementing projects to abolish serfdom. Under Catherine's other grandson and Alexander's brother, Nicholas I the Unforgettable, the reorganization of the country's economy began and the first serious steps were taken to emancipate the peasants and grant them certain rights. During these decades, a series of reforms were wilyly introduced that would legally abolish serfdom in 1861 and make it die out completely by the early 1900s. But Nicholas the First was indeed a military man by education and strongly crushed liberal ideas in the country, however, he was also afraid to anger the nobles. Moreover, since the time of Catherine the Great, city and noble self-government began to develop normally in the country for the first time. After the reforms of Alexander II the Liberator in the 1860s, it intensified and strengthened even more. If the terrorists had not blown it up, then perhaps His Son and Grandson would not have strengthened their power and crushed the opposition...

Also if we really look into it. Novgorod wasn't really Slavic, it was actually Finnic.
Zemskiy sobor was not a "Counsel of aristocrats", it included people's representatives from different classes and from different parts of country. The word "zemskiy" itself means, there were firstly representatives from regions (zemlya in that context means the place, where people live - a city, a village, a region). Also I don't think you can call Novgorod's Veche a parlament, cuz there were not only representatives, there were all the people of Novgorod with equal rights formally, though there was a real power in those, who could buy votes (merchants and aristocrats). And though the Moscow really ended the Novgorod's reign, you shouldn't forget that Novgorod wasn't and couldn't become the center of gathering territories: it was never intended to and it couldn't make a some kind of alliance with the Pskov city, similar to Novgorod state. They even fought sometimes. Novgorod was a great city with interesting state structures, but they were never oriented onto something other than trading, crafting and raiding neighbours because of nature of those, giving them the state power. BTW, funny to see the picture-reference to "Бурлаки на Волге" (Burlaks at Volga), which was painting the realities of tsar's Russia when author mentions the teeeeerrribleee "GULAGs"!

Kuptsy and fabricants did not have any political rights in Russia, they were dirt even in comparison with bancrupt aristocrats, real rise of merchants and fabrikants began only in late 19th after abolishment of serfod, creation of a real court system and start of modernization of Russia before that any person in Russia was just a property of a tsar

На самом деле влияние Орды на политическую и военную организацию Московского государства переоценено. Даже не так, этого влияния не было вовсе. Киевская Русь распалась из-за обнищания Киева, который был богат благодаря торговли востока и запада, через Каспийское море, Волгу и Балтийское море, а также торговли между Византией и Балтийским регионом. Первый крестовый поход установил прямую торговлю запада и востока, четвертый крестовый поход уничтожил Византию. Самыми могущественными князьями на Руси, стали князья Владимирского княжества. В отличии от Новгорода на их земле не было больших и богатых торговых городов, в отличие от юго-западной Руси, земля была менее пригодной для сельского хозяйства, из-за чего здесь родовая аристократия была менее слабой и не могла навязать свою волю князю. Поэтому ещё до прихода монголов, Боголюбский и Долгорукий вполне себе авторитарные князи, в духе будущих московских князей. В плане политической культуры, начиная с Владимира Великого, заканчивая Алексеем Михайловичем, Россия полностью ориентировалась на политическую культуру Византии. Россия пыталась в прямом смысле стать аналогом Византии, очень многие вещи перенимали именно оттуда. И титул Царь, принятый Иваном Грозным, это титул, которым русские называли византийских императоров. Хана Орды тоже называли царем, а не ханом. То есть с точки зрения русской политической культуры, хан был равен византийским императорам. То есть не Русь встроилась в политическую культуру Орды, а новая реальность была встроена в уже существующую русскую политическую систему. Что касается армии, то здесь функционально она являлась полным аналогом западных рыцарей, с точки зрения материальной культуры, ориентировались опять таки на Византию. Ориентализация русской армии произошла во вторую половину 15 века, когда Орда уже развалилась и сохраняла свое господство над Русью исключительно формально. Никакой цели перенимать восточный тип кавалерии не было. Просто земли, которую активно начали раздавать дворянам, не хватало, что бы купить боевого коня и рыцарские, тяжёлые доспехи. Поэтому начали покупать более дешёвые татарские аналоги, которые были по сути турецким доспехом. В очень короткое время, с точки зрения материальной культуры, русские воины стали похожи на турецких тимариотов. А было ли вообще влияние Орды на Русь? Было. Очень большое влияние Орды в части финансов и экономики. В частности, большинство тюркских заимствований в русском языке, связаны с экономикой и финансами. Из-за Орды была выстроена налоговая система, которая обеспечивала сбор налога в пользу Хана. После поражения Орды, система никуда не делась. Поэтому на Руси мы не видим борьбы власти и общества за право сбора регулярного налога, как это было во Франции..

Major correction: Kyivan Rus' wasn't a cultural birthplace of Russia and wasn't destroyed by Mongols. Kyivan Rus' was more like a confederate state in 12-13th centuries, with principalites having semi-autonomous status. Modern day Russia was born in Vladimir-Suzdal principality and simply ruled over Rus' southern lands in Golden Horde days. Kyivan Rus' cultural legacy instead moved south to Galycia-Volhynia (Kingdom of Ruthenia) and later merged into Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Northern principalities opposed southern Kyivan rulers, opposed Constantinople (even founding their own unrecognized orthodox metropolitanate) and allied themselves with enemies of the Rus' to gain power in the state.

Russia certainly has an autocratic history, but the idea that meritocracy was irrelevant is absurd. Peter the Great had defective artillery manufacturers test-fire their own cannons, cutting down on corruption there (mostly cheap metal substitution). Everyone competent and useful was promoted, including former Ottoman slaves, like Pushkin's grandfather. The old empire might not have had a strong artisan base, but Peter imported the Volga Deutsch in the 18th century. Catherine later sponsored Euler. Various academies became very prestigious places, and a strong lift for social mobility. In fact, it's this over-educated (in theories) upper-middle class that really led the Revolution. All the 19th and early 20th century literary classics (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Chekhov's plays) all point to an active society with many internal divisions and an active intellectual life. I think this video is a reasonable critique of pre-Peter Russia, but the state changed a LOT under and after him.

I'd counter by saying that meritocracy was only authorized when it served the purpose of the Czar and again mostly as way to keep his/her underlying nobility on its tow. Merit was only understood as serving the purpose of existing power, not as challenging it and even less as serving the peasant mass. The Volga Deutsch mostly existed as a controlled and controllable experiment somewhat disconnected from the rest of Russian society, by design. The rise of intellectual (urban) life was likely understood initially as an epiphenomenon of little incidence on the general way of doing things beyond the city walls. Of course this took a different turn once serfdom was abolished and cities became hotspots of cross-class intellectual debate. And while one might read the socialist troubles and the Revolution as proof of a functioning intellectual meritocracy. One can also look at it as the result of only a partial one coming to terms with its own contradictions, that is: meritocracy only sponsors social mobility up to bourgeois status but the higher strata of society (nobility) remains out of reach regardless of merit or wealth. And like in all places where a taste of social mobility was granted it eventually explodes in social challenges for the Man/Woman on top (e.g. English or French Revolution). So yes the state changed after Peter, but in that Russia tried to have it both ways: economic dynamism through some meritocracy while maintaining the Czar's power base of stable aristocracy and absolutism. This never works. Freedom always reshapes power structures. Post-revolution Russia has since alternated between phases of somewhat liberalization (which tend to create disorder has no institution beyond the state can give it a framework) and phase of brutal stabilization orchestrated by the man on top. Even to this day any accumulation of power - regardless of the means, maybe allowed through the modicum of meritocracy - by a regular Russian eventually ends up as a dilemma: integrating the power structure supporting the Man on top or being crushed by it.

And now all you need to do, author, is to spend at least a little bit of time learning something about the structure of the Mongolian government. Oh, you mean to say that Russians have adopted the principle of heavy centralisation around a singular ruler figure from the Mongols, right? From the Mongols whose 'ruler figure' was elective at that time! That's right, Khans were elected by Kurultai, the council of Mongolian chiefs. Has Russia ever had a political institution similar to Kurultai? No, the closest thing we had was Land Assembly, which was managing different issues. The Mongolian Empire was way more decentralised than Russian principalities during its suzerainty over us. This basically disrupts the consistency of everything the author says in the first half of this video. You simply cannot adopt something from someone who doesn't actually have it! Even his example with the order of subordination between the army, the central government and the aristocrats in Russia, where the aristocrats really were left out, actually makes Russia look nothing like the Mongolian Empire, where the aristocrats DID HAVE their own armies under command. And then he tells us about "oprichnina" as a governmental structure, the data about which comes neither from Russian, nor from any other Eastern European sources. The fact that the Soviets decided to recognise the fact of its existence doesn't actually prove anything. Russian sources do mention "oprichnina", but only as a term that refers to the personal land of Tsar and his government in general. I'm getting tired of listening to all these meaningless historical parallels. Modern Russia is a country where you shouldn't rely on state pention, but gather savings instead. Should I even begin explaining, why the retired people of Russia have no savings? Collapse of the USSR, numourous economical crisises... No? Doesn't ring the bell? I'm not trying to say that economical inequality in Russia is insignificant, it's very significant, but what does the state have to do with it? Seize everything from the rich and give it to the poor? It doesn't work like that. Those peaople are legit businessmen today, who pay taxes and don't affect the political life of the country. Well, most of them don't. The peasants were indeed abused by the nobylity, but was their life that bad? Despite the fact that it was hard for a serf to protect their rights, and yes they actually had some rights, their life was pretty simple and the job was not that hard. An average peasant back then was working way less hours a day than a modern employee. Although that depended on the kind of job they were assigned to by their landlord, but even those who were working in fields were not really that busy most of the time, since they had only 2 crop seasons per year at best, usually there was only one crop season. But yeah, that was unpaid labour with little comfort to talk about. And what he says in the end serves as the last nail in the coffin for his unbiasedness:"In Russia, the further you go up in the ranks of government, the more corrupt state officials become..." And I feel a bit timid to ask, what is this information based on? I, as a citizen of Russia who was born and raised in Siberia, obviously have witnessed cases of corruption, but mostly at the local level. Firstly, not all governmental structures are vulnerable to bribes, and secondly, here the situation is just like in China, if we choose to believe what you said about it.
The biggest irony with the effect of the Church on democracy in the difference between the Western vs Eastern dichotomy was the former divvied up the power of the monarch and the lords by granting them the legitimacy and the right of kings and lordship through the grace of god - the Catholic Church had a hand in the draft of the Magna Carta in the 13th century, and their insistence of the Church's role being made discrete in the form of legislated rights and powers that were distinct from the barons is sometimes cited as a marker that would inspire the role of the separation of church and state. In a way, the albeit intolerable influence of the western Church we've grown so accustomed to ridicule as decrepit and backwards compared to modern institutions may well have actually been the primitive force that was able to push for exchange of powers through civil debate rather than brute force between our "moral" institutions and secular estates.

Great video, there are a few points tat I kinda disagree on a bit. 1) 7:59 using castles to make the point that that the russians adopted mongol tactics to me feels to me to be a bit lacking, in that the nature of warfare in the large plains of Russia isn't conducive to building castles and that the usage of cavalry was key. A similar ish story can be told with the usage of cavalry by the Poles (Winged Hussar ftw) which also saw more cavalry and less castles and sieges compared to Western Europe. 2) On the what-if of the Novgorod Republic - a bit of a disagreement on a conceptual basis in that would a state that developed from the Novgorod republic be "Russia" or an entity that we would agree that would take the form similar to that of Russia that we see today? This is very much speculation but would such a state expand into the form of Russia? 3) On the chinese system getting less corrupt as you go up - I don't think less corrupt is the correct term to use here, but more that the incentives of higher officials is very different to that at the provincial level, since at the higher levels their power are in a sense the power of the state, not the power of the individual alone and therefore have to in a sense play along to the rules of the state. Xi jinping cannot rule without the Party, he has control of it now but even the Party will outlive him. The same cannot be said of Putin and whatever structures he uses to maintain power. On the whole, a lot of what I think made Russia is not just the nature of Mongol rule in Russia (which you also noted seems to be an exception to what Mongols did elsewhere, which was to assimilate), I kinda wonder what made that the case, almost as though Russia was the frontier lands for the Mongols and that characterised the nature of their rule there. And on some level I think the nature of the Russian geography itself drives the logic of how its systems adapt and develope

China essentially shifted to be a chimera of its old values but with corrupted elements of Communism in which I daresay, far beyond the level of "corruption" in which the Russians (as the USSR) ever attained as their means and scale of the masses they can exploit is huge. Despite their massive population and resource potential, the current diplomatic ineptitude of the CCP is slowly catching up into them and a self-perpetuating disaster bigger than the Cultural Revolution will be inevitable in Xi's China.

In relation to the mongol rule in russia, maybe the mongols did not assimilate into russian culture because of its decentralised nature, remember these were still princely states with largely different customs and rivalries with each other so it must've made sense to simply appoint a grand prince to sort this out for them. The nearby steppes may have also been a factor, the mongols could easily exert their influence over most major cities and since they preferred the plains they could still retain their lifestyle without sacrificing control over the princes. This is in contrast with mongol rule china and persia where they were forced to move their administrative centres further inland which meant a nomadic lifestyle simply was not possible.

The fact that Kiev was outside the Russian lands for a long time makes the descendants of the inhabitants of the Lithuanian era of Kiev not descendants of Kievan Rus directly.

Kraut makes an interesting point about the Mongols, personally I find them fascinating but I think part of the reason why they are seen as a positive force by some historians and KZreadrs is because for a long time they got demonized to the extreme by western culture and media, to the point where it was basically shorthand for monster or brute to be compared to mongols, I'm thinking of Tolkien's orcs as a specific example, or course to an that means studying the mongol empire has more in common with studying the British or Spanish empire, right down to the millions of people killed by plague

Your comparison to European empires imo is pretty accurate. The details are of course different, but as far as general concepts the mongols and the Europeans starting at the industrial revolution are very comparable. They killed a ton of people along the way of making massive empires, but then what they did for the world completely and irreversibly altered history and greatly advances technology and the whole world's economy (except the mongols ofc didn't effect the americas and the Europeans fucked up all of Africa but Ethiopia, who screwed themselves over by being an empire in their own right and then keeping that land to this day, and also the middle east)

The part about north-eastern principalities isn't true. Kiev started to lose its importance since the Rus became more and more fragmented and Kiev needed strong defences provided by a relatively centralized state to avoid nomad raids. + Kiev was the center of many feudal wars so it's people suffered from that too, especially the rural folk. The climate was also getting warmer at the time which made settling in the north easier. And lastly, the trade routes also changed, so Kiev was gradually losing its status of a trade hub. There's much more to it than just "Mongols came, Kiev ded" because many cities were rebuilt and restored much of their previous glory, but not Kiev despite the fact that, if anything, it would've been safer after the invasion since Mongols wouldn't constantly attack and pillage their own tributaries. And yeah, the Russians build wooden fortresses long before the Mongols since the wood was just much more easily accessible

Russia is a country that has never in it's entire history had a genuine democratic government. Currently, knowing many russians, the people there have actively been primed against western liberal democracies. Thus I don't belive that we'lI see a democratic Russia for at least another generation. I know many young Russians who simultaneously adore many forms of western wealth, like cars and entertainment, and despise the "sinking degenerate west". These people are found mostly on the Putinist side, but plenty of people supporting Navalny and the opposition also think the same way. Many also see China in a similar way as many Europeans still saw America some decades ago, a land of fast economic growth and opportunity. I was talking to a girl a while back who said that she would not want to move to the USA due to her not getting along very well with feminists, but would be open to moving to China, this despite the objectively more discriminatory nature of the mainland Chinese people.

An extremely one-sided narrative. The author kept silent about Novgorod Rus and Oleg's capture of Kiev. The author also discredited the unification of Russia under the rule of Moscow and kept silent about the liberation from the Mongol yoke. In order to collect all the lands, to prevent threats from the West and East of Russia, strict centralization was necessary.These processes were not unreasonable. While manufacturers in France and England could afford to develop competition and open markets, Russia was involved in the struggle for survival. Nomadic raids, the intervention of Poland and Sweden, a tough confrontation with the Ottomans - these are the reasons for the harsh authoritarian rule. In addition, Russia did not break off relations with Byzantium - the second one simply did not exist. It fell under the onslaught of conquerors from the east. Russia, on the other hand, accepted the sister, if memory serves, of the last emperor of Byzantium and supported and in many ways equaled the Byzantine order in its country. What happened when "liberal" forces came to power in Russia? The rejection of victory over Prussia and the transfer of all conquered lands to it under Peter 3, the destruction of the state as such under Gorbachev and utter chaos under Yeltsin. I do not want to see Russia weak, I am a simple patriot from among the younger generation, youth. Russia will be strong and united!
It is a good video and really explains much, BUT there is a huge mistake you made there 4:20. The fact is, there was no shift from Kiev to what is now known as Moscow. The principalities of the North-East such as Suzdal didn't really associate themselves with Kiev by the time the Mongols came. In fact, the leader of Suzdal - Andrey Boholubskiy had burned Kiev to the ground and pillaged it like some sort of a FOREIGN capital before the Horde conquered everything. North-eastern "Rus" principalities had been doing their own thing independently from Kiev for a long time before the Mongols came around. Russia originates not from the shift from Kiev to Moscow, but from the reign of Boholubskiy, who (kinda) declared his independence by burning Kiev in 1169.

While it is true that the Mongols dealt the final blow to destroy the Kievan Rus, it is important to remember that by the time they came it was already crumbling. The reason for that was that the Crusades had severely crippled Byzantium, disrupting trade across the Varangian-Greek route and thus destroying the main incentive for the Rus to remain a unified state.

As a person who is a little familiar with the history of his own country, I will say that the author of the video is talking nonsense from the very beginning. Kiev lost its strength and power long before it was burned by the Mongols. He had already been smashed and burned many times before in feudal wars between different branches of the Rurikovich, who claimed his throne. Besides, Russia had big problems with nomads even before the Golden Horde came to us. Various nomadic peoples came to the Kiev Principality and plundered it. And because of the permanent civil war in the twelfth century, there was often no one to protect him. The Vladimir-Suzdal Principality, from which the Moscow Kingdom later grew, established itself as a new center of power when Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, who renounced the throne of Kiev, which his father had conquered, built new cities there and established a clear vertical of power. And about the fact that the Mongols allegedly brought some kind of terribly tyrannical control system, because of which we are suffering here to this day. No, as there was feudalism in Russia, which did not differ in principle from that in other Eastern European states, and remained after the arrival of the Mongols. The problem is that the Mongols greatly slowed down our economic development, which is why by the fifteenth century we had just entered the usual, developed feudalism that existed in Western Europe back in the thirteenth century. With his characteristic harsh exploitation of the peasants. A paradoxical situation arose when in Europe the strengthening of the state destroyed feudal lords and feudal relations, in Russia, on the contrary, the state promoted the development of feudal relations. Because of this, in many ways, serfdom was abolished so late. The monarchy and the nobility were inextricably linked with each other, and the third estate was quite weak and could not adequately influence the policy of the state. Of course, I understand that it is always more convenient to find a certain "root of evil" and throw stamps instead of studying the issue normally, but it was genuinely unpleasant for me to stumble upon this video that broadcasts ancient myths like mammoth shit.

The moment that sticks out to me as a "what-if" for Russia is the death of Alexander II. It was Alexander II's rule that saw the abolition of serfdom. Up until an assassination attempt in 1866, the Tsar had introduced a number of liberal reforms that included local elections of judges and governing councils. He took a more reactionary turn after the assassination attempt, but even so he was in 1881 about to accept some legal reforms that he himself acknowledged as "the first steps towards a constitution" . But he was killed. An anarchist bombing attempt did him in in 1881, and that experience was a huge factor in the firm reactionary turn of his son and grandson, Alexander III and Nicholas II. It makes me wonder what if Alexander II had lived longer? Would he have seen the creation of a Russian Constitution?

I would like to point out that tethering this north-east migration solely to mongol invasion is a mistake. The migration started a century before the invasion. The reasons were compound: the feudal fragmentation and Cuman raids. The migration of power to north-east was pretty much cemented in 1169 by Mstislav Alexeevich the son of Vladimir-Suzdal principal sacking of Kiev and moving the de facto capital to Vladimir. Kiev still was treated as a de jure seat of the Great Knyaz, but most of them since that time didn't reside there and ruled Kiev by means of appointing vassals. Mongol invasion indeed is important, but don't make it as if it is the only thing. Especially concerning the emergence of north east. It was set to be long before.
