What I love most about this video is the heavy use of maps, so helpful.

That whole line about choosing Christianity over Islam because he can't give up the pleasure of drink cracked me up.

In the Swedish language, Russia is called Ryssland. Greetings from Sweden.

As a russian, I can say it’s the most accurate video in youtube about our history and origin, just reminded to me school history lesson in Russia. Cool, thank you, author. Non-biased and non-propoganded, best video in youtube about Russia’s origin.

How can an avid youtube historybuff guy like me only now stumble upon this gem of a history channel? Only 57.3K subscribers since 2013 yet having such good material? Your being held back... Algorithim may be doing you wrong, my new friend.

Great vid covering up to about 1600. Would be nice to see followup vids covering in detail 1600 to present.

Greetings Kevin, I happily stumbled upon this very informative video, the music, maps, et all, gives me nothing but joy in my heart. I live on the southern tip of India, of Jewish Portuguese descent.When i watched this video, I had gone back in time, understood about Slavic historical facts and just had nothing but love for this beautiful country, Russia. Congratulations on this great piece of history, am happy that someone had taken so much effort to put this video out, just when the world is at war, WW3. This video will be sent to my friends and family for sure. Wishing you well, Kevin. Kudos! Love from Kerala, subcontinent.

Thank you for a great video! The most unbiased history video of the matter I've seen on Youtube

Fascinating and timely release. I learned more and enjoyed this far more than a lecture I watched on Slavic origins not too long ago.

Very interesting. In the last century because of the super power friction this interesting history has been quashed and by revealing this fascinating saga you have helped me to understand the region better. Thank you.

Valdemaar the Great was a Danish king, the first person with the name Valdemar. He was born in Rus, he got a tranditional Rus' royal name. Since he was a son of a Danish prince (and a princess of Rus's Kiev) he came back to his father's land and became a scandinavian ruler after a civil war. That's how the name Vladimir turns to the name Valdemar.

I'm Asian appreciated much how you delivered historical origins on your YOU TUBE CHANNEL...good narrator...and well presented....compared to those vloggers who are more showing of their faces while talking that we cannot fully understand the story of what they're featuring into...that makes me bored and search for more informative just like yours...GOD BLESS

Such a fascinating complicated history that people should realy do far more research on. Great video and very easy to understand with your use of maps, pictures of relics etc.
