@shalapay5712 "Citizens of Ukraine have been collecting war tax since 2014. " that may have to do with the fact that Russian soldiers are on Ukrainian territory from exactly 2014... and why exactly independent country like Ukraine have to do what Russia wants? And if we using Law of the Jungle:the stronger is always right->then Russia should be quiet and do what USA wants!

@МихаилАлексеев-г2к Considering Russian Empire size and its population it was never great, not to mention "the greatest"... and the fact that it was trying to do more of the same even in the era of WW1 is solid prove of that. Plenty of great empires were standing strong for thousands of years and not by making people sufer for the Tsar than any other country in that time... Roman empire was building roads everywhere and you can actualy find them and see them even today in the same time Russia is the biggest country in the world and first highways were build by Putin and plenty of roads looks like some 4X4 wehicles test field...

@starcapture3040 "for free housing,health care,schools ,free water and electricity. for millions of people that was good thing." Ten people per room was typical housing for people in Soviet Union for a very very long time...

@unnamed2000 "My mother says that my grandfather saved money, and could buy her and each of her 5 sisters" LoL You only forgot to explain why he was not actualy buying any homes for his 5 kids... that was not a legal income that he could present to the government by doing all this purchase.... later that curency lost its value because the value was artificialy increased by the horible USSR laws->that is why for example your grandfather could not exchange this rubles into dollars and not care what is the actual value of the ruble->and that is why most rich people in Russia nowdays have money in banks in dollars and euro not in ruble...

VAZ-2101 "Zhiguli" (sold as the Lada 1200/1300 in export markets) = Fiat 124R. USSR was not even able to produce semi-decent car, every other car before if they were any good they all made from parts that were direct copy of parts made in the West... so then simply purchased licence for Fiat and was making its versions for so many decades after all Fiat 124 in Italy were allready to tadet to have any success... Oil, coal and other raw materials are the only export that matters from Russia nowdays... and the reason for that is the "high tech" industry of Soviet Union completly not interested in producing stuff for the workers only stuff for its military... and that contrast so well with the guy that said in the video that he want USSR to be back because how important the worker was back then!

@pyttpytts2690 Yea it is kinda funy that the only president of Russia with spine and some moral standards is considered as one of the worst and used as a scapegoat to explain why the communism failed in USSR...

@ransomcoates546 " born in Poznan in the 1880’s." Greater Poland uprising"->1918-1919 was a military insurrection of Poles in the Greater Poland region (German: Grand Duchy of Posen or Provinz Posen) against German rule. The uprising had a significant effect on the Treaty of Versailles, which granted a reconstituted Second Polish Republic the area won by the Polish insurrectionists. The region had been part of the Kingdom of Poland and then Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth before the 1793 Second Partition of Poland when it was annexed by the German Kingdom of Prussia. It had also, following the 1806 Greater Poland Uprising, been part of the Duchy of Warsaw (1807–1815), a French puppet state during the Napoleonic Wars. So the real question is what is wrong with your historical education?! Or was your grand mother born in Poznań but educated in USA and you whining here about something else?

@ransomcoates546 "Organic work (Polish: praca organiczna) was a phrase adopted from Herbert Spencer by 19th-century Polish Positivists to denote the concept that the nation's vital powers should be devoted to labour ("work from the foundations"), rather than to fruitless national uprisings against the overwhelming militaries of the partitioning empires. The basic goals of organic work included educating the Polish masses and increasing their economic potential, which was intended to turn the Polish lower classes into a modern nation and to end the population's Germanisation and Russification, pursued by the partitioning occupiers. Increasing oppression by Russia after failed national uprisings (the November Uprising of 1830–1831 and the January Uprising of 1863–1864) finally convinced Polish leaders that the insurrections had been premature at best and perhaps fundamentally misguided and counterproductive.[2] During the decades that followed, Poles largely forsook the goal of immediate independence and turned instead to fortifying the nation through the subtler means of education, economic development and modernization. That approach took the name "organic work" because of its philosophy of strengthening Polish society at the grassroots level and was influenced by Positivism. For some, the adoption of organic work meant permanent resignation to foreign rule, but many advocates recommended it as a strategy to combat repression and to await an eventual opportunity for the achievement of self-government." You can find rest of the rticle on wikipedia...

@elangelyt7738 So short comment and in the same time so full of things that contradicts themself... Why not mention Opium Wars to prove your point? 🤣 Also love how u use the example of British colony speaking English to show that it have nothing to do with colonialism of British Empire. All the parts of India that in Ancient Rome were described as the richest parts thx to your "international language"-> ofc not because of the British colonialism->are nowdays the poorest parts of India... The country was doing so well for thousands of years before you came and worked hard to exploit it....->but hey i bet that in your mind the most important part is that now English language is very popular there... LoL

@azzurriling6099 If you are standing next to some very bad criminals then you are less of a criminal then? What the fact that some other country was doing something bad on the other side of the planet have to do with this Russian vs. Ukraine situation? Ukrainians are now slaves of Russian governent because America did somwere something wrong? btw.: "The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances comprises three identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994, to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. The memorandum prohibited the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations." As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons"

When Belarus territory was part of the richest country by the GDP per capita it was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth not Russian Empire... and its english name is kinda biased as its proper name was "Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów"="Republic of Both Nations"->more personal freedoms and laws for citizens than in any other country at that time... and yes plenty of Germans and Russians was runing awey to Poland to be free and not a property of the single guy that is in charge of his native country...

@saintman9460 "there was no russian colonialism." LoL, all the people relocated to Siberia or other unhabited Russian territories were no slaves or sign of the worst kind of colonialism? Or is it ok because you were doing that to Slavic people and it is not ok only when you doing it to non-Europeans?

@saintman9460 "old part of Russia till these territories were separated" Kiev state is twice as old as "Russia" and the nobles in Moscow that all of the suden invented the idea that some kid left by the last ruler of Dutchy of Moscovia is now the Tsar of all Ruthenia where out of their minds... and the best prove of that is the what this kid(Ivan the Terrible) did to them later... Or are you trying to claim/prove that over twice as old Ruthenian city=Kiev should be the new capital of the Ruthenia/ Russia?!
