Hello! The video is awesome, however, I want to point, that overall tone, along with the ending has somewhat of an ideological subtext… Some of the key highlights, that I’ve seen: 1) Alexander the Third didn’t just enforce strict control because “tsar bad”. That’s because his father, Alexander the Liberator, was brutally assassinated, just several years after the reformations. Alexander the Third had plenty of reasons to be cautious about the government’s ability to control the state. 2) Witte wasn’t just the Machiavellian figure, who somehow manoeuvred himself into higher positions: the guy was the one of the most educated among the elites, his other policies were really successful, and he is remembered like the one of the most effective policy makers in Russian history. The crash of the royal train happened, because the train (26 wagons with 2 locomotives) did not suit the railways. Also it was going almost 45 mph, for royal family to be on time. Witte was really not in charge. 3) the state approach towards the construction of the line was selected not to show, that private projects are inferior: this was due to the absence of private railroad projects of this size. There was a task, totally impossible for all the Russian railroad investors, the cost was too high

I was aboard the Trans-Siberian, Moscow to Beijing, during the winter of 2011. This was part of a bigger trip that I did that year where I went from Poland to Vietnam by train. Definetly cruising through Siberia was the highlight of trip. Watching the snow blanketed dachas fuming through their lil chimneys and then the frozen and limitless expanse of Russia itself. We also crossed a big desert, wich I think it was the western tip of the Gobi desert, and it was a pretty cool contrast after days of only white. The best view though was watching the sun rise over a complety icy "Lake Baikal" chef kiss Anyway, let me tell you was felt pretty special to me; the most fascinating part about riding aboard the Trans-Siberian is watching the people, day by day, while you go to the east, as their facial factions turn progressively more Asian. It's subtle, but totally noticeable. Every day (remember it's a 7 day trip) you get to see the changes , untill you reach China of course. That's something you would never experience, or even think about it, on a 10 hour flight from Moscow to Beijing. The train was almost empty and I made some good friends aboard,, ohh men good times! The arrival to Beijing Central station was quite the schock ! First time in China for me and you are right in the middle of the city. Feel freee to ask any question .. I like reminiscing about it!

Hello from Siberia! I am very glad that someone made a video about my Motherland. I didn't expect the English video to be the first on KZitem covering this topic though there is no Russian video covering the Trans-Siberian Railway theme as good as this one! Thanks for your job! As a student who studies History I should say that the video is very accurate and intersting even for me. I want add that during soviet period there was BAM built in the area. It goes across China's border. USSR needed to build it due to the high-risk escalation with CPR that would lead to Vladivostok and Khabarovsk cut off from mainland. Also, one of the key reasons for the start of the Russo-Japanese War was that the Russian Empire wanted to control Manchuria with its railway, but Japan was to conquer it first. Russo-Japanese war led to First Russian revolution and the strengthening of communist and socialst movements in Russia. Paradoxically - the project, which was designed to unite the country, led to a revolution and further dissociation!

Russians do not like to call themselves Russians, they prefer to assosiate themselves with the area or family heritage like "Siberian", "Northern", "Cossack", "Muscovite" and so on. I am Russian, but more often I call myself a Siberian. this is my mindset.

It seems pretty reasonable to me to build a railway connecting the east and west. It's good for travel, but also, logistics. Whenever people go into the frontier without any established support, it's difficult. I think it's easy to say it was about control or whatever, but it's really just about utilizing technology for all of the practical applications. I bet it's a really interesting route. It's very iconic and famous. I'm glad you made comparisons to the Panama canal, and showed the pictures of it's construction. It's a really fascinating project as well. Possibly more ambitious too honestly. But the railway is still really cool.

The transport of people and cargo over land by rail is more economical than across oceans by ship, in cost and in time. This is a key strategic and economic issue, as well as access to the resources of the interior. Ocean access is surely a strategic consideration, as well, though Russia’s only reliably warm water port is in Crimea. They were inspired by the example of the Transcontinental Railroad in the United States, and the Hamiltonian methods of its financing and construction.

With all due respect, you have not fully researched the subject before making this video. While you have covered a lot of info, and addressed many questions, especially about the poor conditions of workers, very-very well, there are 3 main gaps in your story: 1. The Trans-Siberian Railway was a colonial project. Its goal was to connect Moscow with Vladivostok (and later Dalian) *through Harbin*. At the start, the Russians did not even contemplate a line along Amur and Ussuri rivers (which have extensive flooding, and thus the railway has to be built far away from the rivers, deep in the Taiga forest) that overall lengthened the line by more than 1,000 km. The plan all along was to annex Manchuria to Russia. You failed to even mention this symbiotic relationship between Imperial/Colonial interests, and the Trans-Siberian Railway, without which the project would have never materialized. 2. Witte was selected minister, and appointed head of the project, because of his prior results in running the SW portion of Russian Imperial Railways during the 1877-78 Russo-Ottoman war. Witte organized a clockwork supply for the Russian army, while introducing draconian measures on rules that had to be respected by the railway workers, which resulted in minimal number of accidents. Witte was practically a nobody, and he had very poor connections and appetite to participate in Russian politicking. He was ruthless in his own way, by being very strict with those that broke rules, or by taking money away from anything he deemed a waste, but you called him a "Machiavellian figure", which was the opposite of the reality. 3. Your maps are misleading. In the 19th century, Siberia was the area between Ural Mountains and the Yenisei River. On your maps, Siberia is colored the same as metropolitan Russia, while it wasn't even called Russia (but Siberia) at the time. The area east of Yenisei River was called Eastern Siberia. Let me emphasize: at the time there wasn't a western and an eastern Siberia, but Siberia and E Siberia. You should have colored much more in blue, and much less in red (while Central Asia you should have better left grey). And your arrows should have been precisely crossing the Ural. If you ever improve your video, you might also want to add a sentence about Siberia's population doubling in the years of the TransSib construction. Non-convicts were persuaded to move to Siberia by being given land along the railway. This had the unwanted effect of works on the TransSib being halted for a couple months a year due to seeding and harvest seasons, when workers would leave en mass to tend to their fields. Overall, however, this is a good video. It is just not final, you did about 80-90% of your job. It can be improved, and then it would be excellent. Please, don't take my criticism as a negative. You chose a complex topic, not an easy one, and the 80% you did are very good.

2:36 The quote does not mean that “evil tsarism” is afraid of the separation of Siberia (at that time there was almost no population), but that Siberia will be included in a single economic space and will allow this region to be populated. The Trans-Siberian Railway was not a “tsar’s whim”, but a project developed since the mid-19th century, including by foreign engineers, which became the basis for the industrial and economic boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And, by the way, in the Russian Empire there were many railways, partially or completely built with private funds. But it’s more pleasant and easier to use the old clichés “Stalin, vodka, communism, etc,” right?

How did you learn to write scripts like this? They are amazing. Do you think this writing style can be applicable to a historical paper? I really want to write history on level like you do.

Absolutely fabulous video. I always appreciate when westerners manage to maintain an unbiased, clear view of Russian history. I thought I knew quite a bit about the trans Siberian - I rode it as a young man when "the USSR" was what we called the nation we now refer to as Russia - but I still learned quite a bit from this video. Also, your graphics are absolutely top notch, I'll be sharing your videos around. You really deserve a bigger audience, I'm very lucky KZitem recommended your channel.

Absolutely brilliant quality, though I do think you went somewhat light on details of the construction itself. Still, much room to grow and I can't be the only one to see a glittering future for this channel

I swear if you upload this in russian you will get so much more views, because most russian people already know the historical background behind the railway construction and would be very interested. We don't get so much details in russian schools about these things. Thank you for this video!

Your comparison of the trans-siberian railroad to the transcontinental railroad is almost wholly invalid. First, the rural Russian landscape isn't perpetually frozen. It has an amicable climate during the summer months. More importantly, during that season there is plenty of water available. Third, you're comparing it to ONE transcontinental railroad project and not ALL of them, particularly the ones that languished for a long period of time such as the Southern Pacific line that crosses the Sonoran desert to Los Angeles. This was proposed around 1850 but wasn't finished for another 40 years after a bunch of fits and starts. Lastly, the whole comparison of how quickly a thing is finished as a metric of it's technical dificulty is a logical fallacy to begin with.
