I love the history of Poland and Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Prussia, Norway, Denmark, Finland etc.....And I'm American. Maybe my interest in the Baltic/Scandinavian/Northern Slavic nations comes from my Norman ancestry, but that was a very long time ago.
There are too many foults in this movie for it to be acceptable. They havnt looked up swedish warfare at all. I can understand that they wanted to make Russia look good since its a propaganda movie. But they should have made sure to stay to the facts when it came to the battle! One bigger error for example is that Sweden had half the size of the Russian army which does not show at all. There are lots of errors in the battle and even more in the rest of the movie, just sad to look at...
@Bobmozg Yes the Swedish army was much more experienced since Charles XI made sure to train the soldiers during the peace period. Beacuse of a trauma he met when he was young and never wanted Sweden to go to war again. The gaint army Sweden was building during the period of peace was just to scare other countries from declaring war. But his son Charles XII was facinated by war and tactics. When Charles XI died and all Swedens old enemies declared war at ones he went on the offence.
@Bobmozg hmm the Swedes number? If you mean the number of soldiers on the battlefield at Poltava the Russians had 40000 soldiers and the Swedes had 17000.
The Swedes had 60000 experienced soldiers from the start. The soldiers the swedish army lost in battles on the way to Poltava was nothing compared to the numbers they lost from starvation and sickness. The russian army made sure to burn farms on the way, so that the Swedes wouldnt be able to get provisions from them.
@Bobmozg The only thing I say are what I know, I am not saying that the swedes should have won the battle. Infact they should have returned to Sweden with those odds against them. There was a lot of factors that made the Swedes lose, not only the numbers of the enemy army. You should look up some sites if this battle intrests you. I bet many english sites can give a good understanding. I havnt read any russian sites to see how the battle is potraited there, since I cant read russian.
This battle was far from what actually happened. But I guess they didn't have time for all the main parts of the battle to cut it down to a 20 min long battle,
What uneducated person call russian king coward.So,he does not know anything about this king. This is most brave and reforming king in whole imperial russian history.Perhaps this guy need to read more insted saing such stupid things!
Standing while enemy fires ypu was like bravery test in that times.And not every bullet came out from enemy's musket,it gave failure if it was loaded wrong.Soldiers also turned away the face before they puled the triger,because it could make them blind if barrel break due too high charge of gun powder into musket. So,ther was some percent of luck also.
Polish invaded Russia first.Russia did not atack Poland .All this suffering which poles had from russians later is just a payback. It's fault of polish,they have started this.
Russia and its allies, Denmark-Norway, Poland-Liethuania and Saxons declare war against us not other way. So Swedish Empire did not started this war. Swedish troops attacked in Russia because it was better fight in enemy land than in own land.
@Pandaonfire5 Nah dude it isn't. Its the russian drummer boys, ik it does look like a scene from the patriot and i think it would achcaly be close to the Battle Of Guilford Courthouse.
What logic in waiting when 1 army will shoot and after that shoot them? - its's clear that army which shoot 1-st has advantage because after their shot opposite army will has less people to "revenge" them.
@ReisorKlo I think that in this movie they made it to look more dramatic, in reality, i am pretty sure both sides wanted to be first to fire the shots, and often started firing while moving in closer.
One thing that confuses me is the fact that from what I can tell.. only the first line of Russian Troops fired... while the first and second Swedish lines fired.
It's really hard to fathom what's going on in the soldiers' mind when both sides stood facing each other and firing off. It just doesnt make sense to our contemporary minds.
Забавно заметить что и тупые пшеки комментируют то видео, видимо такие умственно отсталые засранцы всё ровно как всегда любят смотреть наши вещи... и дальше что сказать.. пшеки, шведы, финны сосите у нас член и фиг вам всем:)
if only wars were still fought this way.. with balls!!!! but with honor! take the field win the battle. take the capital win the war. i like this way of fighting because it has less innocent people killed.
@SpainBlood001 yea I understand you'r opinion but its also people losing there lives unecesery exualy leaders should duel agains eatchother with a sword and who ever wins is the victor of the war no more huge armies and uneceserie lives just a duel range in the un head cothers ( sorry for bad englich)
@mwillis1000 No.. it's the truth. Modern soldiers and military cant be compared to the older and more heroic age of warfare in toughness and courage. Roman-era , Medieval times, Napoleonic Wars.
Well, soldeirs today are trained for much longer and have mchtougher training, they have hev backpacks on (So need to be even fitter). But the toughest soldeirs ever, are either British SAS or Spartans.
@mwillis1000 I see the forefathers in warfare where more tougher then todays. Maybe our generation have much more tougher training but they cant never be as hardened as they were.
@mwillis1000 Walk intro a straight line of firing muskets and cannons blowing your friends to shreds within a meter of you. Thats how I see the scale.
@SpainBlood001 um what are you talking about? if you take a city the attackers rush in and everything inside is fair game, people, the garrison and kids. And usually a attacker had taken a city they would award there men by letting them have orgy's with the women inside the town.
You mean less innocent people killed in battle itself. What about looting and pillaging before and after? Remember what most of the central Europe looked like during the thirty years war?
@SpainBlood001 Why would I go to war, trained, enter the front-line, and be opened fire upon first as the first Russian infantry line like the one showed here? No doubt the way the wars were fought were honourable and and courageous but it was also highly stupid, unnecessary and primitive...
@SpainBlood001 every war innocent people die.... the soldiers. wars are fought by people that dont know each other because someone says they have too. All war is bullshit honor no honor balls or vaginas it doesnt matter.
@SpainBlood001 Quite a romatisized view of things you got there.
Ever heard of foraging? Invading (and defending, for that matter) armies often sustained themselves by plundering and stealing whatever they could from the local countryside.
Not to mention all the diseases that would spread, and hunger when armies stole all the food.
There were plenty of innocent people dying in those days too, but the media wasn't around to tell you about it ;)
@SpainBlood001 Civilians were killed during this time period aswell if you look to Napoleon Wars French troops burn churchs with Spanish inside of them! Milions of Spaniards and Portuguese civilians died during the Peninsular War whole towns and villages burned down.
@SpainBlood001 It wasn't always as good and gentle as people sometimes think.
During the great norther war alone, Swedish raiding parties raided and destroyed hundreds of russian villages before the invasion of 1707. Russian soldiers also raided the swedish coast at the later stages of the war.
Every war in human history has had civilan casualties. But it's true that it could be more of a gentlemans war sometimes as well.
but the thing...it was the british who stopped further swedish humiliation by the russians...its was the royal navy who guarded the coasts of sweden when sweden it self was weak.
Swedish fire volley, Russians do g to stop them, kills 12 Russians, swedes stand there waiting to get massacred, russians fire volley, entire swedish army massacred
@AweSomeRussianOne Always? Russia has lost many times and won many times too. Ppl don't hate russia for their winnings, its the communism that ppl hate.
yes it is true that we Swedes were defeated but it was only for a few days earlier we had destroyed the first Russian army, and we were heavily weakened
who is best... always the same arguments.. sweden and russia has faught many wars with victories on both sides.. why try to end a peace that has lasted 200 years?.. cmon ppl.. im swedish.. and all i say is lets live at peace and understanding with our russian neighbours.. and russians with us swedes... youre neighbours.. ok.. i must admitt i find some of the things in this movie offensive towards swedes.. but then again.. some of our "propaganda" isn´t always polite towards russians either..
I love how the russians portray the swedes as the bad guys in this film. They fought after all a defensive war, and forget about general looting and swedes rapeing poor russian women. Looting was punishable by death in the swedish army, the russians sufferd because they buried or burned thier own food.
it will be dumbed if Russia presented it in the way that they lost more men,of course they are Portraying their Country......if Sweden made this movie it will be the same that Sweden showing bravery even at defeat.....but a country will not make a movie portraying their country lose.
@luftwaffe789456123 These movies do exists, most swedish films about the great northen war has a very sad tone and shows mostly suffering rather then patriotism and glory. You can take the 2nd german movie Stalingrad as another exampel and you see a humiliating defeat, not a glorious one.
Måste alla svenskar här låtsas att dom är doktorander i historia och hävda att dem vet allting om slaget vid Poltava. Ni är patetiska för den ända kunskapen ni har kommer från wikipedia. Sverige fick spö thats it, det är det enda man vet! Nu kan ni gå och äta bajs allihopa!
@mrbeast85 Understand this. It was known as the 'Gentlemen's way' of fighting. The rifles, or muskets they used were fired and had to be reloaded. Taking the chance as the other side reloaded their weapon, they fired. And it went back and forth. The bayonet charges were mostly used for or if the ammunitions were gone or ordered by the General staff. Swedish Military were more fancy this way. - Don't hate me for trying to clear up facts. xD
Why would two armies just stand there and politely take turns at shooting eachother then politely fix bayonets and charge eachother? This is NOT how armies operated on the battlefield durning this era. Its shown in other films too such as The Patriot and its not only inaccurate but it looks very very stupid. I don't expect films to be 100% authentic in everything they portray but I wish they would get some pretty basic, logical stuff right.
@mrbeast85 Apparently, before trench warfare existed... this is how they fought. Kind of sad, because I was also curious about it, and I found this out as I ranted at an American movie that portrayed the same strange strategy...
It was a bit that everyone may forgets in this war, it was denmark, poland and russia against sweden. and the pirates was against sweden as well. so pretty many against us in sweden and we had around 70 - 80 000 soldiers in the begining when they had 310 000. then the number went up on both sides.
@ostenab Vet nästan inget om piraterna i det stora nordiska kriget, allt jag vet var bara att svergie hade lite hjälp ifrån andra. Står det äns något om att Ryssland hade pirater på sin sida oxå? jag får wikipedia lite...
@12345678909269 sverige hade i vanliga fall hjälp av england, men inte i det här slaget. här var det enbart svenskar mot ryssland. och 16 000 mot 34 000.
This reminds me of a movie about the american revolution, i think the flag and drum scene gave it away, but I didn't hear "british grenafiers" as the scene took place.
@VikingOfSuecia Faktum är att filmen är korrekt i sitt beskrivande av slaget. Under Poltava användes få till inga av de normala taktiker som karolinerna normalt utförde vilket brukar skyllas på dålig befälsordning och bristande kommunikation.
Detta är också anledningen till varför svenskarna i filmen springer som yra höns, det är vad som hände.
i dot think that was entirely accurate, i mean its not like one army would fire a volley then wait for the other army to have a turn and then charge for the Melle, its tottally illogical to warfare.
@shiyboy4 Actually, historical accounts agree that that is how it happened. Swedish tactics at poltava was hilariously bad, since they did not do any of the stuff they usually did.

lol 4:45 First volleys were never taken at that close of range, usually a charge would be taken before that, not a straight up march.
And they're so polite:
Swedish: "After you"
Russians: "No, after you"
Russians: "I insist"
Swedish: "Alright" *gunfire*
Russians: "Our turn..."

I love how the russians portray the swedes as the bad guys in this film. They fought after all a defensive war, and forget about general looting and swedes rapeing poor russian women. Looting was punishable by death in the swedish army, the russians sufferd because they buried or burned thier own food.

it will be dumbed if Russia presented it in the way that they lost more men,of course they are Portraying their Country......if Sweden made this movie it will be the same that Sweden showing bravery even at defeat.....but a country will not make a movie portraying their country lose.

@luftwaffe789456123 These movies do exists, most swedish films about the great northen war has a very sad tone and shows mostly suffering rather then patriotism and glory. You can take the 2nd german movie Stalingrad as another exampel and you see a humiliating defeat, not a glorious one.

@mrbeast85 Understand this. It was known as the 'Gentlemen's way' of fighting. The rifles, or muskets they used were fired and had to be reloaded. Taking the chance as the other side reloaded their weapon, they fired. And it went back and forth. The bayonet charges were mostly used for or if the ammunitions were gone or ordered by the General staff. Swedish Military were more fancy this way. - Don't hate me for trying to clear up facts. xD

Why would two armies just stand there and politely take turns at shooting eachother then politely fix bayonets and charge eachother? This is NOT how armies operated on the battlefield durning this era. Its shown in other films too such as The Patriot and its not only inaccurate but it looks very very stupid. I don't expect films to be 100% authentic in everything they portray but I wish they would get some pretty basic, logical stuff right.
mrbeast85 1 year ago
@mrbeast85 Apparently, before trench warfare existed... this is how they fought. Kind of sad, because I was also curious about it, and I found this out as I ranted at an American movie that portrayed the same strange strategy...

It was a bit that everyone may forgets in this war, it was denmark, poland and russia against sweden. and the pirates was against sweden as well. so pretty many against us in sweden and we had around 70 - 80 000 soldiers in the begining when they had 310 000. then the number went up on both sides.
ostenab 1 year ago
@ostenab Hmm, No i think the pirates were with the swedes, Sweden had 1 500 madagaskar pirates on their side.
12345678909269 1 year ago
@12345678909269 1500 madagaskar pirates, mayby, but the other pirates?
and in this battle it was 34000 russians against 16000 swedish soldiers.

@ostenab Vet nästan inget om piraterna i det stora nordiska kriget, allt jag vet var bara att svergie hade lite hjälp ifrån andra. Står det äns något om att Ryssland hade pirater på sin sida oxå? jag får wikipedia lite...

@12345678909269 sverige hade i vanliga fall hjälp av england, men inte i det här slaget. här var det enbart svenskar mot ryssland. och 16 000 mot 34 000.

@VikingOfSuecia Faktum är att filmen är korrekt i sitt beskrivande av slaget. Under Poltava användes få till inga av de normala taktiker som karolinerna normalt utförde vilket brukar skyllas på dålig befälsordning och bristande kommunikation.
Detta är också anledningen till varför svenskarna i filmen springer som yra höns, det är vad som hände.
BrommaHerman 1 year ago
i dot think that was entirely accurate, i mean its not like one army would fire a volley then wait for the other army to have a turn and then charge for the Melle, its tottally illogical to warfare.
