Kuban Cossacks were the direct descendants of Zaporozhian Cossacks. They were Ukrainians as well. Don Cossacks were close to Russians but still despised Muscowites and did not want them to settle on their territory. Some descendants of Don Cossacks became the infamous Russian Cossacks who captured Siberia and took part in Russian military expeditions to Europe (e.g. in Paris).

I've never heard about Maksym Kryvonis being potentially of Scottish origin. That's a very interesting detail! And not so improbable, as you might think. There was Scottish immigration to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - an interesting topic, worthy of its own video.

@@stormshadow5283 That's like saying "There's no ancient history of Italy and to speak of one is appropriation of Spanish history." Russia and Ukraine have a common origin in the Kyivan Rus', a state which included parts of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, but had its capital in Ukraine. After the fall of the Kyivan Rus' in the mid-13th century, Ukraine (Ruthenia) and Russia (Muscovy) were vassal states under the Mongol Golden Horde for decades, until Ukraine (Ruthenia) was conquered by Poland and Lithuania in the 14th century, while Muscovy remained under the Mongols until the late-15th. Russia only expanded partial control over Ukraine in the mid-late 17th century, and didn't fully incorporate it as a province of the Russian empire until the late-18th century. By that time, the Ukrainians had their own language, their own customs, and their own identity, and Russia had to actively suppress Ukrainian identity and send in Russian settlers in an effort to assimilate Ukraine into Russia. How ironic is it that you would compare speaking of Ukrainian history to claiming Native American or Australian history for settlers, when you are literally claiming that the history of Ukraine belongs to those who conquered them, suppressed their culture, and even sent settlers in an attempt to overwhelm their local identity? Who called parts of Ukraine "New Russia" just as the Spanish and English Empires called their American territories "New Spain" and 'New England"? Are you genuinely so stupid that you thought you were making a reasonable analogy, or did you know you were being a dishonest hack, and deliberately make the nonsense analogy in the hopes of confusing onlookers?

Khmelnytsky's uprising took place at the same time as the English Revolution. In some ways, these events are similar in the uprising of the new aristocracy, supported by burghers, against the existing state. Plus the religious factor: in England they are Catholics against Protestants, and in Ukraine - Catholics against Orthodox. But in Ukraine/Ruthenia/Cossack state, Muscovy intervened in this conflict, and after several decades of byzantine policy, was able to conquer Ukraine and later destroy the Commonwealth.

Not only Russia betrayed Cossacks. The western part of Hetmanate was just gifted by Russia to Poland despite Russia de facto had no rights on Hetmanate at all (it was just a protectorate and military alliance). But for Russian tsars it was like "we captured new land and this is Russia now". Moreover Ruthenia is much bigger land than just Hetmanate. Western Ruthenia still was under control of Poland and many Ruthenians were angered by the commonwealth of three nations since their land was just gifted to Polish nation.

I am glad a lot of people are volunteers in Ukraine from the region that has a lot of scores to settle with pro-Moscow Don boys. I also would argue that almost 400 years ago Khmelnytsky and Bohun did not truly understand what post-mongol yoke Moscow was or what it would become. Serfdom was terrible everywhere. Russia however just played cossacks against one another. Russia and Poland eventually destroyed in 1768-1775 all cossack hosts outside Danube and Don. Nicholas I eventually forced all remaining cossacks to bow to the tsar. Polish Iron Felix took care of what was left of cossacks. Iron Felix of Polish nobility just did what his ancestors had always done.

I as a Ukrainian feel this video even a bit too inaccurate as Poles were the same occupants on our land as russians did during Ruin. Even more, Poles were destroying our traditional cossack government while russians took the way of slow integration of our land in their country. Cossackhood was demolished in Poland in the 17th century, while in russia as far as one hundred years after Poles did. So, for better understanding, no one spoke russian in Ukraine during the Ruin YET. But Eastern Bank of the Dnipro Cossacks had economical relationships with russia, while Western Bank were relatively ready to give up in independence to have the ability to trade with Poles. That was the problem and no poles were 'hope' or 'help' or 'democracy' of some sort. Until modern days Poles were occupants even with russians in their hate on us. It's important to consider

Ukrainians/Cossacs proved to be the biggest pain in the butthole for the Commonwealth and the piece and stability of the whole region. You can blame only yourselves for enabling Moscovia to grow to Great Russian Empire.

Polish names are unpronouncable for English speaking communities so the spelling was changed to keep pronunciation intact. Raykiewicz in English sounds just like Rajkiewicz in Polish. Well I might argue about "cz" at the very end as poles pronounce it as hard "tsh" in English. "Raykiewitsh" would be the closest authentic pronunciation to "home", but its just too much of a mess to be honest.

After the collapse of the Golden Horde, the state collapsed and a bunch of free nomads appeared who did not belong to the same khan. They were called Cossacks. Some of them found service in Poland/Lithuania/Moscow state.

I mostly agree with everything said in this video except one thing. Before Khmelnytsky Uprising Cossacks where mostly a social class than ethnicity. Off course Cossacks play important role in the creation of modern Ukrainian nation but we cannot assume that Cossack uprising where Ukrainian Wars for independence. Besides modern notion of nation (any, not only Ukrainian) it is late 18th - early 19th century creation.

It is legitimately painful that you had to use some pictures of "anime" "cossacks" instead of what Cossacks actually looked like at the time. Maksym Krivonos also wasn't Scottish in any capacity. I am skimming over your video and you either make mistakes, or lie. The division between the pro-Russian and pro-Polish cossacks even early on were along the Dnieper river. Vyhovskiy wasn't actually very popular and represented a smaller part of the cossacks. He "won" his position by usurping, and pro-Russian cossacks to the east of dnieper fought him and did not let him advance eastwards. In fact, he wasn't even popular west of dnieper and anti-Russian Cossack regiments were generally smaller than the pro-Russian ones, if I recall correctly for both instances of anti-Russian uprisings, both under Vyhovskiy and Yuri Khmelnitskiy.

What I'd like to know is did any of these various Cossack groups identify as 'Ukrainian'. I suspect very few did. Ukraine was just a name for a borderland, a contested area on the map...in fact that's what the name means.

I’m not the biggest fan of Khrushchev (although he is definitely better than Stalin and Brezhnev) but he’s probably the only ruler of a Russian empire (yep I called the USSR a Russian empire) who seemed to tolerate Ukraine. His granddaughter even said he would be appalled by Putin’s actions. So while he is certainly an enemy to Hungary, he really isn’t to Ukraine.

Thanks for the information. However to note, this doesn't help Ukraine's case. As by this line, Ukraine's historical claim would surrender its claims on the Crimean/tatar lands, Odessa, and some lands in the west if Poland cares for it. More so, it would imply neutrality since the Cossacks stood against West and East alike. Which seems pretty much Putin's primary wishlist, and goes significantly further than the concessionist stance (Odessa making a big difference).

You are missing very important period of "Kievan Rus" 882-1240. This is where the state from which ukrainian nationality is mostly originated from. And first invation of ancestors of Russia on Ukraine has happend at 1169.

Of course, we are Slavic brothers, and those Cossacks are fucking savages

we have been fighting the barbaric orient for the centuries , we Litwins know the drill ... "Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."-gonzague de reynold, 19501 In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.- thomas gomart, 20062 "

A couple of things, Ukrainians and Cossacks aren't as simple as being one, for example the Soviet union forced Cossacks to learn Ukrainian as a way to suppress local dialects and Cossack culture. The civil wars often had little concept of nationalism before the birth of the concept. The Russian civil war wasn't nearly as straight forward as outlined, white officers were surprised by the loyalty of many Cossacks to the old regime though other factions had little and Cossacks as a whole were largely reactive, settling down with agreements before taking up arms when the red started murdering civilians on mass with the clear intent of genocide. Cossacks due to their unique social structures played a very different role to Ukrainians in the war (though both were extensively victimised, though the Cossacks were even more pointedly so, the jews also got special attention but likely not with orders from the top but rather anti-Semitism adding on to the depravity of the Soviet troops).

@@dmytrodelen Source is the book The Cossacks by Shane O’Rourke. Yes they were an estate (which is why I didn’t bother replying to the first chap, he is correct) under the Tsars but that doesn’t mean they were simply analogous to the people around them, they had a very unique culture, unique social structures which the Tsar’s were unable to properly replicate via population transfers and the induction of outsiders into the estate in other regions. They were largely self contained communities and even in the west where they had much more of a history with and among Ukrainians the main similarity was the fierce loyalty to the orthodox church, given how proud the cossacks were however of their uniqueness it would be wrong to think they were not distinct from the wider surrounding population. Wrangel is the the officer who seemed to show the most surprise over cossack loyalties which was likely because he had long served with them and viewed them as being freedom loving and having separatist sympathies (it should be noted that in many this separatism did not pay consideration to Ukrainians but was the independence of cossacks as a people). I should have also mentioned (especially as I left a half mangled sentence in there) that the were little groups of cossacks in all factions of the civil war and large groups in certain factions during certain period’s. Cossacks certainly are (and were) important to Ukrainian nationalism but the situation was a lot more convoluted on the cossack side of things and the soviets despite their treatment of Ukrainians made the attempt to turn cossacks into Ukrainians, Russians or corpses (an effort paid off in destroying all historical continuity at least).

@@vorynrosethorn903 i appreciate your extended responce. I won't deny this historian work, of course, since I neither read it nor am I a professional historian myself. Plus, I agree with some of the things you described. However, I would argue against completely differentiating Cossacks from Ukrainians. After all, at first you weren’t born Cossack, you become him. And naturally only peasants from Ukraine and rarely from Poland were pursuing Cossack way of life. Then, when this group of people became much more influential you could say they become an estate or even elite of the society. But that society was always Ukrainian. You can find it in their documents. Khmelnytsky considered himself the Prince of Ruthenia. And as you might now the term of Ruthenia gradually and naturally evolved into Ukraine. They consider themselves either Ruthenians or Ukrainians and you can check it by googling Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk from 1710 (if there’s a good translation)

Khmelnytsky did not sign anything with Russians, the Pereiaslav agreement was one between the Rus’ and the Muscovites. Then later Muscovy rebranded itself as “Russia” and Muscovites where forced to call themselves Russian.
