History of Moscow | Serhii Plokhy and Lex Fridman

What's his point? Russian people history doesn't start with Moscow.

привет friends! I know you guys have a job, but I hope you guys go back and watch Serhii's entire interview. Serhii Plokhy is an intelligent scholar and has a fascinating Ukrainian perspective.

There was no Moscow when Kyiv was at its peak

Привет друг seems Russia stole Ukraine's history 😮

Liar.

This guy is a Revisionist.If Ukraine was that great why dont the Ukies create an Empire from Vladivostok to Warsaw.

As justified as British calling Ireland theirs..lies and greed😂. Delusional n. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

@Lex You should talk to Grzegorz Braun

Сори гайс, но это лучший "историк", который есть для вас у Лехи.

An interesting question is why Kyiv was not restored as the capital of the new post-Mongol Rus'? My answer is because Kyiv was founded as a collection point for money from trade caravans passing along the Dnieper from Scandinavia to Byzantium. By the 15th century this trade route had lost its importance (fall of Byzantium). Accordingly, Kyiv lost its importance. Which was also quite riskily located - next to the steppes and Poland. Just from this time, the population of southern Rus' fell under Polish-Lithuanian influence and began to turn into what would later be called Ukraine.

Interesting comment on language variance in Slavic countries and each country being a separate entity. How do you explain the 5 eyes phenomenon - no non wasp country included.

bismillah, salam.islam only we a servant -slave lord ar rahman ar rahiim. we ALLAH right.never judging by state as other done himself allowing talk back.

Have you ever been told about king/tzar of Ukraine? Of course you haven't - cause there was no state of Ukraine only an area

wow, this guy took shit from his ass and told it...

NOVGOROD. Before Kyiv and Vladimir it was the city of Novgorod (Russia) that was the origin of Rus. I'd say that Kyiv was just an important detour on the way to Moscow.
This 'historian' implies that the city of Vladimir is the oldest is Russia, which is nonsense. Also, there was an unbroken line of fathers and sons ruling from Novgorod first, then from Kyiv, then Vladimir and finally Moscow. The same family, descended from Rurik, the Viking, who were the Great Princes of Novgorod, Kyiv, Vladimir and Moscow. Russian tsardom was the continuation of Kyivan Principality. Everything else is modern Ukrainian nationalist propaganda.

This is the true history of those lands. Thank you
