Borderlands | The Animated History of Ukraine

Thanks to Jabzy for helping me out with this video, check out his video over at

LINKS

The nation who whose very name means Borderland has been home to nomads for millenia. As a pawn in the games of larger European powers, how did Ukraine become the complex geopolitical entity it is today? Cossacks, Tatars, Mongols and Vikings only scratch the surface of this ancient land

15:07 "We're not at the end of Ukraine's story. Nor are we ever. We're only in the middle of its most recent chapter." .... Huh, who would have thunk, right?

As a Ukrainian, I can claim that most of the information in this video is spot on! (except some minor mistakes or simplifications, but I guess that most of us are ok with that) Thank you very much for remaking the previous version with a much deeper look into our history and culture! Good job! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

I had to watch this because I work with 2 Ukrainian guys. They are hard workers, with a pleasant, friendly manner. They both lived under Soviet rule, and have a unique point of view. I figured I'd learn a LITTLE about their narional history.

“We’re not at the end of Ukraine’s story”.

How true.

There is a small Ukrianian community in the Philippines

Kyivan Rus age and Cossack age is such a fine soil for cinematography and PC culture. I am yet to see some Assassin's Creed set in Kyivan Rus' or some Netflix movie in some scenic Ukrainian historical sites.

tldr: Ukraine's been going through it for centuries. Damn, can we give them a break or something 😭

It's Kyiv, not Kiev. You give a proper ukrainian name, but then transliterate it according to russian language.

I'm from Dumfries in the south of Scotland, during the war there was a large camp outside of Lockerbie where lots of Ukranian soldiers who faught for Germany were held. After the war the Soviets asked for them to be handed over to them, fearing they'd be executed the British government catagorised them as Captured Enemy Combatants rather then POWs and refused to hand them over. Many emigrated to the United States but many others settled in the area, there is a memorial and chapel built by them just outside of Lockerbie and Ukranian surnames like Striciw are common in the area.

Ive been to Ukraine twice, the first time during a general European trip, and the second time a year later because i fell in love with the country so much. Hopefully i can go again as soon as possible after the pandemic 💙💛

[dafuh]

I love how detailed your characters are. You even have one with Yulia Tymoshenko's hair!

[harvestblades]

As an American with strong roots to pre WWII Lithuania as well as Eastern Europe in general, & who homeschools several kids this video was a great way to give them some brief history of the region, & it's conflicts as we sit here in Feb 2022.

[claudioify]

Watching this video now, explains lots of things, making the situation even sadder.
Stay strong, stay hopeful Ukraine 🇺🇦

Hello to our Ukrainian brothers from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🖤🇺🇦

You can see from 10:00 to 11:30 that there was a town Baturin near Kyiv in Ukraine, and in the 1800-th and further there no town there. Yep, Russian military destroyed that town completely shortly after the victory.

Fun fact: "horde" actually comes from the middle-Mongolian word for temple. It seems to have been extended to mean any large, public gathering place for fellowship, and then (in Turkish, in particular) it was retracted again to mean a camp, and then a group of Mongolic nomads who would normally set up such a camp. It comes from the same root as "Urdu, " the name of the language, which is a contraction of the phrase "zaban-i-urdu, " meaning "language of the camps."

Super informative. Helps you understand the distinction between the Ukrainian and Russian identities.
