I love how you also included Germany's allies like Hungary, Italy and Romania in the Eastern Front.
They are very often overseen

Fun fact: the early US government also relied heavily on tax on alcohol. By the end of the 19th century up to 25% of the federal tax revenue came from alcohol sales. It is due to Prohibition that the federal income tax rose to become the primary source of revenue.

[Edmonton-ofec]

For anyone wondering, Michael I was made Tsar because his father was Patriarch Filaret of Moscow (granting some much needed religious legitimacy) and his grandaunt was Tsaritsa Anastasia, Ivan the Terrible’s first wife who he (rightfully, as testing of her remains in 1990s would reveal) believed was murdered by the boyars.

The Red Army won the Civil War for a number of reasons, the main one's being A. Public support, and B. Almost the entire Russian Imperial Army that had been fighting the First World War had joined the Red Army, while almost all the Imperial Officers formed their various White Armies from inexperienced rural peasants.

As a wise man once said...
"When the world needed him most, he returned"

[elijah]

Saint Petersburg was named after Saint Peter (the apostle), not after Peter The Great

[SirMilone]

Im from Germany and i learnt that "Katarina die Große" was a great Russian empress with german origins.
I think most Germans have a positive picture of her.

[aktonkulous]

Where did you get the fact that Slavs migrated from the east through the Eurasian steppes? Slavs are an indo European people that originate from eastern and or Central Europe

[chillibean]

I'm from New Zealand and during my history course we learned of Catherine the Great as a revolutionary for her time, yet extremely flawed monarch.

[Wrhk]

Thanks for the video, as a resident of one of the former republics of the USSR, it was interesting for me to see the view from the outside. But.. There are too many misconceptions

[vojtechdrabek]

Theory that Slavs came from east Asia is.... original. Currently accepted Slavic origins are around the Vistula and Dniester rivers, around current Belorussia/Ukraine.

[karrots]

Peter the great named his city after Saint Peter not after himself

[brianwhite]

Petrograd wasn't renamed Leningrad until after Lenin's death

[karry]

Seeing the records of Ivan Grozny, and then seeing the "achievements" of his European contemporary rulers...yeah, i'd rather have Grozny, by far the most humane king in all of Europe at the time.

[aliud]

Man, imagine a few rich people holding heavy influence over their country and its politics. Couldn't be us

[bloodkelp]

"Slavic tribes of the antiquity migrated to the Eastern European plain from the Eurasian steppes"
What?

[qamilr]

Slavic tribes migrating from Eurasian Plains? Never heard that theory before.

[thatonedemon]

The last part about Gorbačev I think is underinformative as it says nothing about the 1991 coup and how the people of the USSr voted to remain the union.
(PS. just for the record I aint a tankie, I just view that this is important to say.)

[MrJulpod]

The fact that you're back is genuinely the best news of my day !
Thank you for your amazing content, keep up the good work 🙏🏻

Oh wow this video coming on a Friday night has just made my day/week/month. Congrats on the birth of your baby girl. Isn’t it going to be wonderful when one day she can enjoy watching your material💜. I am a subscriber to Nebula already but haven’t visited in a while, thanks for the reminder because it’s really worth it. Being a child of the 70s, I loved watching documentaries on history. But you never got the insight into what goes into making these. It’s so nice to get a little personal greeting from the creator. Thank you, it is really appreciated!
