The author misleads his viewers. There are no territorial disputes between Latvia, Estonia and Russia. They were settled in 2007. Latvia recognized the legality of the entry of the Pytalovsky district into Russia, and Estonia recognized the city of Ivangorod as Russian. Finland signed a peace treaty with Russia, according to which the border was demarcated. The Finnish authorities do not make any official claims against Russia.

By the way, Russia does not consider Transnistria, South Ossetia and Abkhazia as its territory. Moreover, she considers Transnistria to be part of Moldova and stands only for granting real autonomy to this rebellious region. As for South Ossetia and Abkhazia, it recognizes their independence from Georgia (all the more strange that Georgians are protesting against the liberation of the Caucasian peoples from national oppression, the Georgians themselves have separated from Russia and nothing, let them now learn the lessons of separatism on their own skin).

As a Finn I would like to add something to the territorial dispute with Russia. The territory most focused on is Karelia. Finland officially stopped claiming the territory in the 1970s and the leadership at the time allowed the Soviet Union to control those territories (although the USSR doesn't exist anymore which might change things?). Those Finnish politicians who want Karelia returned are a minority and the return of Karelia is not in the nation's official policy. Under the Russian rule Karelia and the city of Vyborg have been severely neglected by the Russian government (officials and St. Petersburg get most of the funding in the area) and the regions infastructure is generally not up to Finnish standards. Upon the return of Karelia, it would be an unpleasant undertaking to build up the regions infastructure as it would be quite costly for the economy. There are also some 300 000 Russians in the region and it would take time and money to integrate them to Finnish society (Finland can't just go ahead and force them to be Finnish or kick them out, as that would harm the international reputation of the nation) Boris Yeltsin did indeed offer to sell the territory in 1991, but the Finnish politicians probably didn't want to buy land from a nation that was unstable at the time (the fall of the soviet union ruined the economy even further and civil unrest was high) I'd also like to note that this is from my point of view as a Finnish person. If there are any Russians in this comment section I'd gladly hear their opinion on the matter, as long as it doesn't turn into an endless sh*tshow of insults and personal attacks.

Major correction! Russo-Georgian conflict in Abkhazia and Samachablo (Not South Ossetia, that's a fictional name) didn't start in 2008, but in 1992. In fact, this was mainly caused by Stalin's decision in 1931 to declare Abkhazia as an independent Soviet republic and started exiling and replacing population of ethnic Christian Abkhazians with Muslim Circassians, and giving them the special "Abkhazian residency" documents that only they had in the entire USSR. As a Georgian himself, he knew perfectly how to destabilise his own countr,y and he hit us where the biggest tension was, and where it hurt us the most. He understood that Georgians were the least culturally tied with other Soviet nations (because of language, culture and ethnicity) and always went an extra mile to make sure we were "properly controlled". It was his biggest priority since Georgia staying under USSR meant him staying in power. If his own country was not under control, he'd risk his position as Secretary General. So this conflict was actually brewing for 60 years before it exploded in 1992 when Yeltsin and the "Neo-KGB" picked up Stalin's playbook again, which now is like a Bible to Putin...

@@xxxDeus No you did not. Georgia is a country with an insular culture, completely unrelated to Russia, ethnically, linguistically or culturally. Only thing Russia and Georgia have in common is religion, and Georgia adopted the Orthodox Christianity a thousand years before Russia... Russia is an empire. There is a big difference... I just explained a 90 year long operation of exiling 250,000 people from their homes from a region that has the population of 300,000 people. You can't equate it to Russia that has over 100 million people, over 100 languages, more than 10 religions, countless ethnicities and so on. All of these cultures and ethnicities were made part of the federation (union before that, and empire before that) with conquest. That is why every state of Russia has the right to leave the federation. Similarly, even Abkhazia has the right to do so, but you can't mass exile and ethnically cleanse 300,000 Abkhazians, then settle 300,000 other people, call them "new Abkhazians" and then make that request for them using the puppet government... That's my point! There is a reason why even Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and other MAIN allies of Russia (and Russia-depended states) don't recognise Abkhazia as an independent country AT ALL. Even Iran that has been historically Georgia's biggest enemy recognises Abkhazia as part of Georgia. Out of 192 countries in the UN, 189 recognise Abkhazia as part of Georgia. The only countries who don't (except for Russia) are Nauru and Nicaragua. I mean, there is no arguement for this, these two countries are literally the whole world away and has never had any relations with any countries from Caucasus. This is by far THE MOST undisputed conflict in the last 200 years, literally the whole world agrees so you can't reduce it to a mere linguistic trick of if A>B so A1>B1...

No, Russia and Japan are not still at war. While it is true that they haven't yet signed a formal peace treaty, the Soviet-Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956 states: 1. The state of war between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan shall cease on the date on which this Declaration enters into force and peace, friendship and good-neighborly relations between them shall be restored. The Declaration was ratified by both governments and went into effect Dec 12, 1956. It is clause 9 of the Declaration that Japan has long accused USSR (and now Russia) of violating and is the reason there is no peace treaty. 9. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan agree to continue, after the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan, negotiations for the conclusion of a Peace Treaty. In this connexion, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, desiring to meet the wishes of Japan and taking into consideration the interests of the Japanese State, agrees to transfer to Japan the Habomai Islands and the island of Shikotan, the actual transfer of these islands to Japan to take place after the conclusion of a Peace Treaty between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan.

You have 3 errors in the video. 1. Russia did not claim and now does not claim the territories of Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. 2. Russia DID NOT INVADE Transnistria. Transnistria declared its independence in 1991, at the moment when ALL countries of the USSR declared their independence. The troops that are currently there have ALREADY been there since the days of the USSR. 3. On March 31, 1991, Georgia declared its independence. Already on December 22, 1991, an armed coup took place in Georgia and a civil war began. Under these conditions, Abkhazia declared its independence on July 23, 1992. On August 10, 1992, Georgia launched a military invasion of Abkhazia. At the same time, Abkhazia was supported by independent Ichkeria (Chechnya). One of the well-known military leaders of Abkhazia is Shamil Basayev, later a Chechen militant and terrorist. Until 1993, Russia supported Georgia in this conflict. Moreover, on September 19, 1993, it was Russian troops who helped the legitimately elected President of Georgia Shevardnadze escape from Sukhum, where he was surrounded by Abkhaz troops and could be killed.

Pereiaslavl agreement has been concluded between Moscovia and Ukraine (part of Poland at that time) not in 1954, but in 1654, in the times of Bohdan Khmelnitsky and Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov and didn’t absolutely take Crimean question into account, because Crimea has been a satellite of the Ottoman Empire at that time.

China disputes the treaties of the 1850s with Russia as China was coerced to sign then. Siberia was conquered by the Mongols. At the end of Mongol era, 'Tartars' governed Siberia and even Kazan. The Soviet Union had Tartar states. From the time of Peter the Great, Russia with superior weapons gradually conquered Tartar land west of the Urals, than east of the Urals. China needs resources including water, China wants Siberia and hopes to get it in a time of instability in Russia. In the 1990s China was not ready, but is largely ready now thanks to conflict with India, Taiwan and the South China Sea.

yea soviet dispute not russia

in estonia it's not an everyday topic, but it's still something that has been talked about for all those 32 years in the context of a border treaty with russia. there's still no ratified one basically because of completely different understanding of history from both sides. russia recognised this territory as ours with tartu peace treaty in 1920 (when war of independence ended with estonian victory), that's the last document of reference and estonia also uses it. we don't officially even want that land back, we're just like "ok you said it was ours in the og document, but we're giving it up, can we just have a border treaty". russia however doesn't recognise it because they don't recognise the continuation of the estonian state (like the rest of the world does) since 1918 and soviet union as illegal occupation, for them estonia is as old as our regained independence only and everything before that "doesn't matter" and is even offensive to refer to so they removed their signature🙃 fun neighbour to have

It's the same as asking: "what would the U.S need to print more money when debts is already up to their ears"

Interesting that you also added Karelia to the list, as this would imply an active dispute, however this is not the case. Both Finland and Russia agree on the current borders and no active disputes exist. Besides that, most Finnish people, except for fringe right-wing groups, but those exist in every country, also do not want Karelia back, even if it would be offered to them, as it is a poor and underdeveloped area of Russia, with a majority Russian population; in many ways it is comparable to Kaliningrad / Königsberg, as in, it is a territory that would cost a lot to integrate, develop and bring up to the standard of Finland / Germany, while not being an economically strong area that would be able to justify those spendings over the long-term. Whenever there are talks about Karelia or Königsberg returning to Finland & Germany, it's not much more than a revanchist mind-game over the hypothetical redrawing of borders, whose permanence was agreed upon multiple decades ago, rather than having anything to do with reality and the actual facts on the ground. Otherwise, great video, I enjoyed it.

If you watch the news in Japan especially in Hokkaido, you will see that the 4 islands (Etorofu, Shikotan, Kunashiri, Habomai) are always a part of Japan whenever the map of Japan is showed in the news. I do believe returning the islands to Japan will inevitably be better for the inhabitants and development of the islands since Russia cares so little in the far east except for Vladivostok and the oil field in northern Sakhalin.

Maybe, give the 4 Islands to Ainu People as a gift, please.

Japan-Russia territorial dispute is quite a mess. 1) Russia gave up Kuril for entire control of Sakhalin 2) USSR joined war against Japan exactly for those islands, however, Japan sees that agreement as "invalid" because it didn't sign it up (lol) 3) Japan also renounced the ownership of Kuril islands, however, it didn't say who now owns them. This little "hole" allows them to have a legal right to Kurils and is also supported by very those who had agreed to give it away to USSR 4) Declaration of 1956 states that Japan can get two out of 4 islands back after the peace would be made. Japan did so because USA decided to meet Chinese officials without consulting with Japan, basically a way of saying "we can do our own foreign policy too, if you don't regard us as allies". The government who made that declaration was thrown out and a new one started asking for all 4 islands before the peace agreement again 5) After the relations had worsened, USSR renounced the territorial dispute. After the fall of USSR, however, in exchange for loans a new Russian state admitted the issue again. Both sides agreed to use declaration of 1956 as a basis of talks 6) Up to 200X, the talks had no result and the issue was buried. Japan also stopped calling Kurils "occupied territories" up until 2022 7) There were some agreements made between Japan and Russia regarding cooperation on the Islands (agriculture, visits without visas, some businesses). However, mostly it was just a topic to start talks when the main theme of those said talks would be entirely something else (energy resources mostly) 8) In 2022 the talks were put to an end again because Russia views Japan as an "unfriendly" state (because Japan follows whatever USA's policy, which currently is an enemy to Russia), however, a lot of cultural and energy cooperation is still present since Japan doesn't want to end up in Germany's situation, having too much reliance on Saudi's resources As a bonus, Japan wasn't really following the sanctions of 2014-2015. They've found A LOT of ways to bypass them and even started to strengthen the ties with Russia. Russia needs Japan to fight off Chinese influence within itself, Japan needs Russia for it's resources and to not let China to control it, since that would put any of their regional hegemony ideas to an end. Also, as an another bonus, whenever areas are "occupied" by Russian peacemakers currently, they aren't much different from Kosovo's situation. Most of the times those have exactly the same justification.The current international law was functioning only for a few years after it's establishment while everyone had their own internal problems to solve after WW2. Afterwards, we just started to have lots of armed conflicts instead of full-scale wars.

The ones disputed with Ukraine like Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk are mainly ethnic Russian.

Basically what Russia does after 1991: - their russification in each of former USSR republics led to the fact that there are a lot of people who speak Russian - today they claim that "you speak Russian = you are Russian" (try to use this logic in "you speak English = you are English" in case you are Canadian or even Indian, but you just know the language) - the same with religion: "if you share Russian Orthodox church = you are Russian" - so then they say "there is a lot of Russian in Ukraine, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Moldova, Kazakstan, etc. We need to "protect" them" - they take a part of a land with their army - they make up referendums with several collaborators who are ok with doing this because of sharing Russian ideas or just for money. And fake voting says: "the people of this territory want to unite with Russia". So their politics have this lame excuse "we just protect our people" This scenario was played many times: in Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine. This method they use to bind countries and do not give them a chance to unite with the western world, like Europe or US. They don't give a shit about people (their houses might be destroyed, they might die from lack of medicine or hunger - real case from Donetsk). They don't even need resources or land or factories - they destroy everything, like a horde of orcs. What they need is only "greatness".

Wow. Did not expect such a poor research from this channel. Lot's of misconception here: 1. Many of these conflicts are not based around Russians and Russian language. Gagauz people are ethnic minority in Moldova who speak Gagauz language. However, they along with Transnitria were equally oppressed by Moldova and were forced to adopt Romanian/Moldovan language that ignited the conflict. 2. The same applies to South Ossetia. More populous (and prosperous) North Ossetia is a part of Russia. The primary driver was reunification with North Ossetia. 3. As for Donetsk and Lugansk. Despite having around 50% of ethnic Ukrainians the regions are predominantly Russian speaking. As a result even Ukrainians from these parts of Ukraine do not always fit in. Therefore some of more nationalistic inhabitants of western Ukraine have a special slur for them: кацап (katsap). So naturally people in Donbass did not approve of forced separation from Russia. And a bit of a curious personal note here. My ex is from Donetsk. She misses the "inhumane and oppressive to nations" USSR despite she was born long after the collapse. Why? Because being closely tied both to Ukraine and Russia means she had friends both in Russia and Ukraine. And back in USSR days nothing stopped one from jumping the train in Moscow and seeing friends in Kiev. And since the dissolution of SU they were basically forced to abandon close ones from either side, first by Ukraine, then by Russia.

@@jack_the_stripper I'm saying Donbas is not a separate identity from the rest of Ukraine. Most people there may speak Russian, but ethnic Russians aren't the majority there, not even close. Donetsk even had a sizable pro-Maidan movement. And speaking Russian is not unique in Ukraine, guess what language is predominantly spoken by the AFU.

@@Owen_loves_Butters that is something I do agree with Politics aside, I really hate how this stupid war is severing ties between friendly people. Was really sad having to part ways with colleagues from Ukraine Hope one day our people will be friends again

Russia has more than enough land, I’m not sure why they keep threatening their neighbors.

You didn't talk about the disputes with China over Vladivostok and Siberia

As a person who knows at least a little history, I know that now we have no territorial claims with China. The only territorial claim of China is Tuva, and then it is not the PRC, but Taiwan that claims it. And so the fact that China wants Siberia is nonsense, which is VERY popular in the West.

I suppose you mean no harm. However, please, don't call aggressive invasion of Russia - "territorial dispute". Hundreds of thousands of people (some I knew personally) died because of this war. It's no dispute - it's a genocidal war to destroy entire country's identity, language, culture and most importantly - Ukraine's future

Artur is absolutely right. I was talking to a lot of Ukrainians here in Germany and all were talking about the same. The Russian "Orc-army" is systematically torturing, raping and killing civilians, they're bombing hospitals, kindergartens, schools and universities, attacking critical infrastructure for international food supply, spread anti-humans mines everywhere, attacked a dam and caused an ecological disaster and even give a shit about their own peoples lives. Russia has turned since February 2022 in a fascist, genocidal, terror dictatorship, so it should be our duty to stop the mad men in the Kremlin. Chamberlain tried to soften Hitler in giving up Czechoslovakia or allowed Hitler to join with Austria. We all know how it ended. There is no discussion or compromise possible with aggressive dictators, because the only language they understand is violence. The two "alternative media" people below that comment should please educate themselves or just f*** off

@@allangibson8494 The Greeks are still there. Most of the Greeks that left Crimea and ukraine as a whole is because of the Soviets. The Greeks were there since the time of Miletus and its colonies and remained till this day. But lets say the control of crimea by the greeks stopped with the fall of the byzantine empire. Still that means they controlled the area from the 6th centure bc till the 12th century Ad. That's 1800 years. Greeks had both the first states there and the area belonged to them for the most time. I do consider it as Greek as macedonia, crete, athens, sparta . epirus ,constantinople ect ect
