Excellent presentation, I am learning so much from this war. Once I found the idea of a Tsar of all the Russias appealing, but this was a romantic delusion. We (UK) used to think of THE Ukraine and THE Crimea as being parts of Russia, and Cossacks being elite Russian troops. Belarus was very confusing and we ignored the whole concept. We weren't even taught about the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. We did know about Muscovy, but thought of it as the seed of Russia.
Sorry about that, most embarrassing. You have the right of it, thank you.
Perhaps we should officially rename Russia as Mordor.
I call Russians fucking Zombies at this point in time.
As for video, mostly found it one of more confusing ones on here.
In Denmark, we currently use the name 'Rusland' (=Land of Rus) about Russia. As far as I know the term 'Rus' goes back to "Kievan Rus" which was founded by Oleg of Novgorod, a descendant of Rurik. I have read that DNA analysis have shown descendants of Rurik to be of Scandinavian origin. I know, that there are different opinions about this part of history.
I am current reading "Nestorkrøniken " (=Повість временних лет?) dated to around 1113, in which the period of 850-1110 is covered.
I think there are strong connections between Scandinavians and Rus people. In Denmark we have had kings with the name of 'Valdemar' which is similar to 'Vladimir' or 'Volodomyr'
Officially we can change it to Moskowia, unofficially – orcland. In LT, older generations say and in history books we sometimes find the name "maskoliai" for "moskovites".
Btw, in Lithuanian we've always called Ukraine Ukraina. We even pronounce it very similarly to the way Ukrainians do.
What i call Moscow isn't politically correct jeje.But what you said is 100% correct.great channel y thanks for the info
I like how you interleave videos in which you condemn the distortion of history and videos in which you distort it yourself.
More Ukrainian mythology to the god of Ukrainian mythology!
Same Muscovites, my family migrated to the US in 1900
My family emigrated to the USA in 1958 after 10 years in Argentina and always referred to Ruzzians as Moscali. We have to stop the theft of our Ukrainian history!
I have to say that as someone with only a basic knowledge of Russian history, it never any made sense to me that the Russia of the Czars after 250 years of the Monguls wasa continuation of Keivan Rus. I think referring to them as Moscowians is an excellent idea. In fact everything about Putin is similar to a Mongul warlord, rather than a civilised head of state.
We should call Moscow moscovado wich is a type of brown sugar.
you look so cuddly in your hoodies L😂L
In the US we'd call this a "rip off." So, Kyiv Rus is the original. Moscowia is a very weak attempt at imitation? Слава Україні!
Lachy złe? niewystarczająco pomagają?
ruZZia go home
Thank you so much for your affords 💙💛
UK here. I call Moskovia. The United Federation of Fascists and the people Russo-Nazis. It drives the bots "bonkers".
Thanks Anna, interesting.
In spoken language, I only call them curse words. In written form ruZZia, but the idea of a new name isn't a bad one. 💩tin would be the Führer of mos🐄ia.
Well it is interesting because Ukraine was called Russia before 1917 from when Ukraine was classed as a country.
Funny: the Ukrainians are not free to call Russia as they please in their own language on their own soil, not touching one centimeter of Moscovia soil,
but the Russians pretends to eradicate the Ukrainian name not only from their dictionary but also from the face of the Earth; literally, according to Solovyov and many Russian former general currently members of Duma, and of course according to Aexander Dugin and his friends
Muscovy?
Excellent video! Wish this could be shown on TV in US! Yes, Ukrainians do need to speak about this more! The misunderstanding of this is held by many in US, even some lawmakers; and esp by those (but not exclusively), who call Russia & Ukraine "brothers," and advocate for peace/negotiations on this principle. I'd say probably 50 to 80%, or more, of Americans don't know what you just presented. Majority of people believe Russia came first, and can't be convinced otherwise. Propaganda over the years? "World power." More likely, lack of education. I'm older, and was better educated, but we covered very little European/world history.
I've learned so much since full-scale invasion started, but I'm a person who really likes history, and has delved into much WWII history. US is such a young country compared to Europe, and seems to "forget," history didn't start with us. It's challenging, as world history complicated, and very difficult to find good, accurate sources. More and more history being rewritten, results depending on author's views. My son is a history teacher with a Master's, who teaches at high school level, and studied very little European/world history. I found errors in his college history books. Seems many don't understand importance of history, esp world history, and its study. More might support Ukraine if understood accurate history.
Hope sometime, maybe I missed it, you can go into even further detail on this subject. I keep meaning to watch Yale Professor Snyder's history of Ukraine. A good thing out of this horrible war, is American universities looking at and redoing their Russian studies courses, as realize they're centered from perspective of Russia as a "global power," and what little history about Ukraine is thrown into these courses. Many universities planning to offer first ever Ukrainian history courses. And, as Russian language had been only one offered due to emphasis on Russian history, now colleges considering offering Ukrainian language too.
I personally found the Kyiv-Rus history complex (am getting better!), and many, who don't know better or look into it, use the "Rus" part to make Ukraine be a part or originate from Russia. Almost impossible to get people to understand that Moscow came later, or Kyiv-Rus is Ukrainian roots. Online propagandists do a good job of altering this. So, it's very good to speak on this. So sad Russia steals your history, as it currently robs your territory of its culture, artifacts and history. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇸🇺🇦🕯
Anna the Educator….Orcovia will be defeated…..Slavia Ukraine 🇺🇦
While I generally agree with your take on history of your region, I disagree with a slightly racist take from your explanation. The tartar people are generally understood to be from Central Asia and I believe it may be offensive to generalize their cultural norms and compare them to Russians. I have heard Russians use racism to refer to Central Asian people and I hope that you can find a more inclusive way to refer to their culture.
There are some very fascinating facts shared here. Most people wont know, but history does tend to turn on decisions and choices like the ones Anna is explaining. As much as these decisions have influenced Russia for centuries, much of the world has been unclear about these facts for centuries. These are very important historical facts to understand the reality we are living in. Thankyou to everyone involved in Annas channel for educating the world every day. The world is with you. We are proud of you and we love you. Slava Ukraini.
ORCOVIA
yeah to Orchadistan
I used to call the country Russia, but now it's Moscowia, But the military are still Orcs! orcs?
So Muscovy calling themselves "Russia" is kind of like if the UK completely broke up, but the English kept calling themselves "Britain", and using this historical legacy as an excuse to invade Ireland (Ukraine) or try to annex Scotland (Belarus).
I think Orcland is good.
How does Belarus fit in? My people came from an area that's been called Belarus, Poland, Russia, Lithuania at some point or another. That place had many masters.
.;I like Orcland, although I'm not sure if my neighbors across the Tasman Sea would like it. The largest city in New Zealand is already called Auckland🤣🤣🤣. The pronunciation is exactly the same, I like it!
Ukrainians. Clever like Cats.
Muscovites. Corrupt as a poisonous caterpillar.
Know the difference!
I favor calling Russia Mordor. The word mordant connotes death or dead. It is where orcs came from in Lord of the Rings.
Orcland is definitely the best name for the land of the followers of the Putin 👌
Dear Anna. You could call Ukraine Ruthenia !
This video explains the real history of kiev-Rus and Muskovia quite well as does your video
Slava Ukraini
🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦

You might use the term "principalities" for the "many small lands" around the historic territory of the Kievan Rus.
Ukrainians an Belarusians are the true descendants of the Rus
You know one thing I found alittle humorous was Ukrainians calling these invaders orcs…I initially thought they meant orchs. Check the Latin meaning
In Finland we call Russia Venäjä and in old people call russians moskovits. There was many fennic nations inside russia but most of those are russified today.
Fascist trying to rewrite history
i follow your hand gestures – as well as words
We should adopt Muscovia at the new name in English.
Make Rus Kyivan Again! 😉
