The Kyivan Rus was the Roman Empire of Eastern Europe. It was not a single people, but many tribes and lands that were ruled by a single city in what is now Ukraine. Russia didn't even exist back then, but formed as a vassal state of the Golden Horde of the Mongols. It existed as Moscovy for around 500 years, until Ivan the Terrible started to invade and annex the lands belonging to Novgorod and he adopted the earlier term Rus.

@@Genevybes Rus is no more an ethnic group or a complete state that the Roman Empire was an ethnic group or a complete. The Rus were an elite who ruled across a kingdom of many ethnic groups and nations. The Rus collapsed before Moscovy (Grand Duchy Of Moscow) was even formed. Moscovy didn't adopt the term Rus until after they invaded and took over the nation of Novgorod in the early 1500s. Moscow adopting the term 'Rus' is like Napoleon of France suddenly trying to claim the title Roman Emperor for the French. Claiming a title belonging to a previous people does not make that claim legitimate. Especially when the new nation was not formed by the earlier people. Moscow was not formed by the Rus as it was formed as a vassal state to the Golden Horde of the Mongols. That is the truth.

You correctly said that “Kievan Rus” is a term. However, subsequently, you used it on an ongoing basis to refer to the entire state, which is not correct. The state was called simply - Rus'. Without the prefix "Kyiv". Kyiv was the third capital of Rus'. Before Kyiv, the capitals were Ladoga and Novgorod - “Novgorod Rus', Ladoga Rus', etc. But these are all terms and nothing more (introduced into historical circulation in the 19th century) These are not separate states. As I said earlier, the state was simply called Rus. 0:32 - 1:00 No. This is not in the "primary Russian chronicle" It says different. There were 4 tribes. They invited the Varangians (Vikings) to reign. Three brothers came along with their clan (Varangians): The eldest is Rurik and the two younger ones are Sineus and Truvor. Rurik began to rule in Ladoga. Sineus is in Beloozero, and Truvor is in Izborsk. 2 years later, Sineus and Truovr died (it is not said why) and Rurik took over all power. Rurik did not found Kievan Rus Rurik founded Rus' and the Rurik dynasty. Kyiv as a city was captured much later, after the death of Rurik. Kyiv was captured and made the capital by Rurik's friend (and his son's regent) Knyaz Oleg the Prophet. Rurik was invited to reign in 862. Kyiv was captured by Oleg the Prophet in 882 2:30 Rus' was not an Empire. Rus'-Russia became an empire only in 1721. 9:45 Not the entire territory of Rus' was divided into principalities. The Novgorod Republic was founded in Novgorod (the second capital of Rus'). In case of war, the Novgorod Republic could call upon the Knyaz. For a limited period. However, the Knyaz in the Novgorod Republic did not have dictatorial powers. The republic was ruled by boyars (the upper class of the people). In general, the Novgorod Republic is one of the most interesting parts of Rus'. ____ Overall the video is good. Errors are not critical. They simply create confusion in perception and historical sequence.

You are forgetting that during the time of Novgorod there was no Kievan Rus'/Rus", they were still Varangians/Swedish Vikings.

@@drewdj45 You are doing exactly what I wrote about. Using erroneous wording, you get confused in history. By history in this case I mean the ancient Russian chronicles, known as the “Primary Russian Chronicle” I will not convince you that everything written in them is true. This is doubtful. However, this document dates back to the beginning of the 12th century (1110) and was written in Kyiv by the monk Nester. And this document is the only document that sheds light on the beginning of the formation of the state of Rus' from the point of view of the people closest to that time. There are no others, only the guesses and hypotheses of historians (some of which, by the way, I consider quite worthy) Therefore, if we speak from the point of view of this document (Primary Russian Chronicle), then Rus', as a state, arose in 862. Since the chronicle directly states: “In 862, the Slavic tribes invited Rurik from the Rus tribe to rule. The Russian land was named after their tribe. There are several important nuances here: 1. Rurik and the Varangians were called Rus by the Slavs. They believed that they were from the Rus tribe. (yes, this is apparently an erroneous name, but this is exactly what the Slavic tribes believed) 2. The Rurik family began with Rurik, which ruled Rus', and then the Russian kingdom until 1598. Yes, Novgorod has never been the capital of Kievan Rus. Since Kievan Rus never existed. Once again: this is a term. It was simply Rus'. And it was Novgorod (after Ladoga) that was the capital of Rus'. Once again, this is stated in the Primary Russian Chronicle. It does not say that Novgorod was precisely the capital. But the words are like this: "Rurik began to rule in Ladoga, and then founded and began to rule in Novgorod" Thus, the first city in which the first representative of the Rurik dynasty began to rule was Ladoga, then Novgorod. And since the Rurik dynasty comes from Rurik, Rurik and his invitation to rule is considered a landmark moment in Russian history. And this is the year 862.

@@reorioOrion The term 'Russian land' in this context doesn't refer to a modern nation-state but rather to the territory where the events unfolded. Rurik and his Varangians were initially invited to help quell internal strife. However, it's crucial not to overlook the significant transformation from Rus' to Kievan Rus', with Kyiv playing a monumental role in the history of the Rus'/Slavic people. Delving into the Bygone Years, the legendary founding of Kyiv in 482 AD by Kyi and his siblings marks a pivotal moment (Could even be the first founded state, but It's not clearly stated). Rurik rules successively in Ladoga and Novgorod. The true zenith occurs when Oleg captures Kyiv, ushering in the era of Kievan Rus', as eloquently stated in the Chronicle: "Рѹ́сьскаѧ землѧ Києвскаѧ". The Bygone Years vividly depict Kyiv as the political and cultural nucleus of Rus'. It serves as a bustling center for trade, witnessing the development of the first legal system used by the Rus'-the Russkaya Pravda. Kyiv becomes the cradle of Rus' Christianity under Grand Prince Vladimir I, the numerous Princes residing in Kyiv play indispensable roles in shaping the political and cultural landscape. In light of these historical facts, referring to them as Kievan Rus' is not only appropriate but captures the essence of a transformative era.

Vladimir the Great (under whom Rus' adopted Christianity) was both the Knyaz of Kyiv and the Knyaz of Novgorod. He held both of these titles at the same time. Like other Knyazs. Of course, Kyiv plays a monumental role in the history of Rus'. "Let Kyiv be the mother of all Russian cities" Knyaz Oleg. Primary Russian chronicle. "The true zenith occurs when Oleg captures Kyiv, ushering in the era of Kievan Rus', as eloquently stated in the Chronicle: "Russian lands of Kiev." Let's say that this was the zenith of Rus'. But that was not its basis. Besides this, I have never seen the phrase “Russian land of Kiev” in the chronicles. There is no such thing there. And this simply cannot happen there, since Kyiv was not the only principality of Rus'. Kyiv was the capital and main principality. The second (until a certain time) was Novgorod and other principalities. There (if we are talking about the Primary Russian Chronicle) there is the following phrase: "HERE IS THE TALE OF THE PAST YEARS, WHERE THE RUSSIAN LAND CAME FROM, WHO BECAME THE FIRST PRINCIPAL IN Kyiv AND HOW THE RUSSIAN LAND ARISED." (This is the very beginning of the piece) The chronicler never once calls the Russian land the Russian land of Kyiv.

Also Rus people didn't use Scandinavian pantheon of Gods, they used Iranian one. They had a cult of sword, same as king Arthur. First kagan-imperor of Rus was Igor the Old (or Olderman).

Factually incorrect on many levels. Again it only focuses on the time of the Varangian conquest and forward with no consideration of the differing cultures in the areas that would be ruled by the Varangians as the Kyivan-Rus. The Finno-Ugric tribes in the North in what would largely become the principalities Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal, and the Eastern Slavic tribes to the South the balance of Kyivan-Rus principalities. The gradual disintegration of the Kyivan-Rus state started after the death of Yaroslav the Wise with many princes ruling over different territories and of course the fighting that came with it for power, though none ever attained a unified state again. The final death of the Kyivan-Rus was the sacking of Kyiv in 1240CE by the Mongols. The principality of Vladimir-Suzdal (later Muscovy) fell two years earlier in 1380CE, and was was a vassal to the Mongols thereafter until 1552CE. The principality(ies) of Galicia-Volhynia had a brief period of vassalage to the Mongols, but was able to regain its independence under King Danylo the first king of all Rus (aka the Kingdom of Ruthenia). Eventually this became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1349CE. The Polish-Lithuanians eventually gained the territories of the principalities of Polotsk, Smolensk, Chernigov, Pereyalsav and Kyiv (the majority of the former Kyivan-Rus Lands) from the Mongols. We all know that periods of rule by one group of people over another does not make a unified people. Scottish, Welsh or Irish are not English, the French are not Roman, nor are the Israelities (take your pick of) Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Roman or Turkish. These previous tribal differences and the difference in rule help account for the large degree of mutual intelligibility between Belarussian and Ukrainian vs the two when compared to Muscovite (russian), and why they are not or never were the same people.

Rurik was a Russian who founded the Rurik dynasty. The Rurik dynasty ruled Rus', then the Russian kingdom and was interrupted only in 1598. Much later than the end of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. Ivan the Terrible and his son were the last, legitimate, Russian rulers of the Russian kingdom. Ivan the Terrible and his son are direct descendants of Rurik, the founder of Rus'. There is no contradiction here. After the death of the son of Ivan the Terrible, a civil war began in the Russian Kingdom. The civil war ended with a new dynasty being chosen to the throne - the Romanovs. The first Romanov Tsar, took the title of Ivan the Terrible and his son. Thus, the history of Rus' continued in the Russian Kingdom, which became the Russian Empire, which was created by the great-great-grandson of the first Romanov - Peter the Great. The Russian Empire included Ladoga, Novgorod, Kyiv, Vladimir and Moscow. All these cities are former capitals of Ancient Rus'. This is direct succession.

There is not a word in the "Primary Russian Chronicle" that Rurik attacked Byzantium or other states. As well as the fact that he was in contact with them. So why should it be on their documents? Question: "Primary Russian Chronicle" begins with the words: "This is a story about where and how the Russian land arose" This is exactly a Russian chronicle. So why do you simply call it “Primary Chronicle”? 2. "No one after legend about Rurik was called "Rurikid" in the Chronicle. And there were no ruler of Rus who was called Rurik, although the names were very important in those days and there were many sons of rulers with names of their fathers and grandfathers like Sviatoslav, Yaroslav etc." a) None of the princes with the name Svyatoslav are named after their father. b) None of the princes with the name Yaroslav are named after their father. Only 1 - Yaroslav the 3rd is named after his grandfather Yaroslav the 2nd. c) After Rurik, there was a prince with the name of Rurik. Rurik Rostislavich. Prince of Novgorod and Grand Duke of Kiev (title meaning ruler of Rus') 1137-1215. 3. "To say that Russia is Rus is like say that Romania (Transilvania) is Roman Empire. Or like say that English people are Romans, because part of Britain was under the rule of Roman Empire for a certain period of time." Russia is Rus' not only because it occupies part of the territory of Rus'. Not only because it has the same name as Rus'. The Russian Empire is Rus' because it has direct dynastic, territorial, religious and power succession from Rus'. The Russian Empire was founded from the Russian Kingdom, which was founded from Rus'. The Russian Kingdom was Orthodox, like Rus' (after 988) The rulers of the Russian Kingdom belong to the Rurik dynasty. These are their direct heirs. The rulers of Rus', the Russian Kingdom and the Russian Empire were Russian princes. Since Rurik, the founder of the dynasty, was a Varangian from the Rus tribe. The rulers of the Russian Kingdom bore the title: "Sovereign, Tsar and Grand Duke of All Rus'" The same title was borne by representatives of the Romanov dynasty, after the Rurik dynasty and before Peter the Great. The title "Grand Duke of All Rus'" was borne by the leaders of Rus'. This is all - direct inheritance of traditions, power, religion, title, territories, language, nationality, blood. 4. "Kyivian Rus is Ukraine, another lands were inhabited by another tribes (also non-Slavic, who had different cultures) and they were just under the rule of Rus and paid tribute to Kyiv. In the 11-12th centuries they became more independent and their own states formed, and people from those lands didn't call themselves Rus." a) “Kievan Rus” is a historical term coined by the Russian historian Solovyov in the 19th century. Such a state never existed. There was a state of Rus'. b) The name Ukraine as a state arose only in 1917. Neither the name nor the terminology contains the root “Rus”. The nationality of Ukraine is Ukrainians, not Russians. Ukraine is not Rus' and has nothing in common with it. This is directly indicated by its name and the name of its nationality. If Ukraine thought that its history was the history of Rus', it would be called Rus'.

"Germany was called Prussia, its also similar name to russia, why dont you call russians descendents of Prussia?" It's not about names. The history is about cause-effect links. "Moscow calls itself third Rome, but it was not originated from Roman empire." It was called itself the IIId Rome in the spiritual sense. "Moscow city was created from Finland and Asian tribes." LIES. Finnish and Asian genetics in Moscow and people around genetics is minimal. It only grows far up North. And Kiev was created by Turkic Khazar and Scythian-Sarmatian(Iranian)+Slavic=Polyane mix. So what? You are Iranian?

no, from the historical investigations, the word ‘Ukraine’ (Україна) derives from the word ‘країнаʼ, which means country. there’re plenty independent resources to check this. this term actually was first met in the XII century literature and has nothing to do with the russian version of history.

Sorry they got stuff wrong. Vikings were mainly R1b1, and then I1a male haplotypes and Slavs are mainly R1A1, but also I2A, and also Slavs are mixed with baltic peoples, who are mainly i2A, and Fino-Urgic peoples, which includes R1A1, i2a, and N1C (a gene from Siberia and China), although this is smaller admixture in these groups and people can have this and be blue yeded and blond.. In fact the male line that founded the Rurik dynasty was N1C. Slavic, baltic and Fino-Ugric people i the north in Baltic sea had a similar lifestyle, but not exact same, to the Nordic Vikings which creates this ridiculous confusion

Ukraine was not influenced by the Mongols. The video almost did not tell about the division of nations after the Mongol attack on Kyiv. It was the ancestors of modern Russians who paid tribute to the Mongols and were influenced by them. After the destruction of Kyiv, the ancestors of Ukrainians moved to the Principality of Galicia-Volyn. The king Danylo ruled there. He was also a Rurikian and had the title of King of the Rusyns. Ukrainians were more influenced by Poland and Lithuania.

Russians lived in Rus and they spoke Russian language and they lived in Russian cities: Kiev, Chernigov, Lubech, Rostov, Novgorod. Rus is Ρωσία in Greeks, and Ρωσία is Russia in English transliteration. The root Rus suffix s and Greek ending ia - Russia. The same dynasty, faith, culture, language, uninterrupted history. Thus, the difference between Rus and Russia is the same as between Ρωσία and Ρωσία. Ukraine means borderland. 😭

The video is not complete. After the Mongol attack, Russia was divided. It was this event that contributed to the emergence of modern Russians and Ukrainians. You told about the Muscovites (modern Russians) who submitted to the Mongols and paid them tribute. But where the history of the King Danil a Galician who moved to Lviv and had the title of King of Rus` and the subsequent fate of those Ruthenians is connected with the Lithuanian royalist and the commonwealth. Either remove the name Ukraine from there or add about this

The names of the three brothers who founded the Rurik dynasty: Rurik. Sineus. Truvor. They were succeeded by Oleg. Oleg was succeeded by Igor. These are Slavic variants of Scandinavian names. It's already been proven I don’t know where you got your data from, but it contradicts banal logic.
