Apologies for the jolting intro to the stream. It appears the first 20 seconds of the stream was cut off for some reason.

I only discovered your channel a week ago and have already learned more about Eastern European history than in my previous 64 years.

[Elsneakakaze]

I love your content, deep dives about history is content for the soul

[arianemontemuro]

You all are totally amazing! ❤❤Thank you from a Serbian

[misterkefir]

Fan-tas-tic! Wonderful job as always, gentlemen. Cheers.

Waldemar is derivative of Vladimir....yes, slavic version is older..first Waldemar was danish king in 12 th century....his mom, who was kievan princess named him after her grandfather Vladimir Monomachos

I'm fascinated with this history ever since Putin asserted his version of Russia's origins and rights to territory. Are the maps you show available in high res versions? I could pore over them for hours. Thank you for this content!!

[mabusii]

I have a better education now. This is amazingly interesting. I knew nothing of east european history. Thanks for a very good job indeed !

[SuperSparv]

Great stream, very interesting. Any future plans on covering Lechistan?

[McYankee]

i really wish two of you would just do your own separate lectures because the interrupting is 99 times out of 100 counterproductive and maddening. maybe even just each speaker in sections one after another.

[Ciech_mate]

I really enjoyed this, I would love to know more about West slavs and early slavs. Thank you for what you have recorded though

[melfice]

Of note AM. I do wish one day you would also do some kind of Stream, perhaps as a kind of one off stream, on possible Finnish or Finno-Ugric people's history, if you ever touch on Scandinavia as well.

But that, I suppose is merely a wish from a small Finnish History fan. And I am very much aware how hard it is to find out about us, considering how Sweden did a number on our history and past.

Iv listend thru 3 times ;) my husband's really old uncle, told me his 'people' were KIPCHAK.
Iv been digging into maps and ur kind of educational shows. Also he mentioned they were 'mountain' people. Another documentary on the Mongols, had them winning many many battles against the the Mongols.

Lactose is a sugar that many people (especially Asians) cannot digest. When you ferment sugars they become alcohols. When lactose is fermented it becomes alcohol which Asians are particularly good at digesting.

[audree]

Talk more' Kipchak'
Who were they and who are they now??

[OEFArmy]

So what was the first capital of Rus again?

Только увидев данное видео в ленте Ютуба, я уже заранее знаю, ЧТО именно я увижу в комментах. Потому что они всегда одинаковы под любым видео про Русь.😂

AM cuts it off at the single most interesting point. Appreciate so much of his stuff and he’s incredibly intelligent but he’s had a major intellectual or mental blind spot with respect to a very critical component in world history and the contemporary world. I notice he’s slightly more comfortable discussing it now but only in a very mild, unprovocative manner and as an afterthought. That’s not enough to out the pieces together and explains his struggle in saying anything really different or worthwhile and insightful today, and the spiritual crisis he’s shared. I don’t blame him for it, but I’m angry it does this to our good ones.

[fadista]

This seems like an excellent production in many ways but honestly the speaker's gravelly voice was so distracting I could not listen to it. Maybe some sort of acoustic damper or something wpuld help.

[bootstompify]

On the "slave-slav" topic; I know you gents have said you put it to bed, but it sounds like you have it backwards. The theory is that slave comes from slav, but I think you're debunking slav coming from slave.
