CONSULTATION / MENTORSHIP
I realize that my channel isn't the biggest and won't be for a while but there is a lot of knowledge I have acquired over a few years of being on youtube and I do have advice to offer - either with regards to starting a channel or video production.

[팀보]

you tiptoed around the debates around that area's history very well! thanks for another video

[bretthorting]

I will be going back to Siberia in April 2023, and plan on visiting Vladivostok, and then heading more north on the Road of Bones P-504 to Yakutsk, Oymyakon and Magadan. Great content as always, and excited for your next video.

[dereky.]

Just a note, video at 7:52 to 7:59 is not of Japanese forces in 1905, but Chinese KMT forces (under Chiang Kai-Shek, also shown in footage) in the late 1930's.

This video and the one about Khabarovsk are great documents about the Russian Far East. Can you also make a video about Yuzhno-Sahalinsk, the city with Japanese influence ?

[YeehawOutlaw]

The original name of Vladivostok was ‘Haishenwai’ before the Russians was there.

[Razzle_Dazzle-]

Vladivostok has nothing to do with Japan as the title suggest. Even during the Russo-Japanese war, Vladivostok was left untouched

[RUHappyATM]

Am surprised you didn't mention the Soviet–Japanese border conflicts of the 1930's.

[MrJumpster]

Nice job especially historical content! Hope to visit there in a few years! Thx Jim USA

In July 1918, the United States, France and Great Britain asked the Japanese government to take part in a joint intervention in Siberia. The US has proposed that each ally send 7, 000 soldiers. The Tokyo military headquarters developed ambitious plans for a military expedition to Siberia, and also persuaded China to agree to Japanese intervention in Northern Manchuria. Instead of 7 thousand soldiers, Japan sent 12 thousand, a naval squadron and military aircraft for Vladivostok. Within a few months, Japan increased the number of troops to more than 75 thousand. a man, and advanced along the Siberian Railway to the Trans-Baikal region between Amur and Baikal. At the end of the First World War, in November 1918, Japanese soldiers occupied all harbors and major cities in Russia and in Primorye and Eastern Siberia.

if you started telling, then tell everything and don't jump like a flea. You didn't tell a lot of facts, you hid them, and some of them turned over. You also say that Russia dropped nuclear bombs on Japan in 1945.

Your story does not mention the full role of the US and European countries in Vladivostok until 1922 !

I LOVE your wall map. Who makes it, as i've been looking for a large, detailed wall map

[xewmonm]

A large part of the information is incorrect. Some of them are just assumptions some of them are completely wrong. You should do your research before teaching others.

[andrewcorns]

Brilliant video can you do Voronezh next please

[Max-tjfv]

Thank you, great video. And yes you were right, almost all cars that were imported to Vladivostok before 2020 were cut in half and then welded back together to avoid paying import taxes. Now as far as I know its no longer legal

[murom]

Great video! Do one about Smolensk, it is my wonder town :)

[hazanghideyoshi]

love your video. good job . next can you make video about russian city of petropavlovsk-kamchatsky in kamchatka peninsula. that city is lot more far far east than vladivostok. it would be interesting to see. i gladly hit subscribe button

[danielefabbro]

Vladivostok was always a strategic port of Far Orient.
We can consider it the "third capital" of Russia after Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

[alexvig]

Again, another bad take on history on your part.
The reason Japan didn't strike at the USSR was because they were already beat by the Soviets during the Battle of Khalkin Gol. They tried to take advantage of the Soviet regime not being well-established yet, but it backfired on them in 1938. They signed a treaty with Joseph Stalin that in case of a war in Europe, Japan wouldn't attack the USSR and the Japanese honored it. In fact, it was Joseph Stalin who broke this peace agreement with Japan by declaring war on the in 1945 to take over Manchuria, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.

This is one of the best historical mini documentary of Russia's far east. Amazing work

Широка страна моя родная
Много в ней лесов, полей и рек
Я другой такой страны не знаю,
Где так вольно дышит человек
