Just a couple of years earlier when the Mongols attacked Russia and the Ukraine, Suzdal and Kiev were literally wiped off the face of the earth. It's fact.
sry bro but there are historican prove that German crusades killed women&children. Just like French,English crusades in Jerusalem they killed there EVERY person in the city nomatter if it was a child or a pregnant women. Those are facts. And i am sorry that you forgot our history, christians were way more evil then islam now is. and yes i am CRISTIAN.
agreed on the FACT that "hollywood and other sick cinemas" makes Germany look bad...
but you have to agree that Germany was one of the most aggressive nations out there (on Europe continent) They were and they are still the strongest and most diciplined people. And THAT was theyr power in the history. they were thursty for blood and for glory just like romains... I dont say they are worser then russians or americans. but they're more famouse in europe for their thurst for war
and about russians... i dont know about the most criminals but if u see russian 149 millions people( what did ya expect?)
in history russians were also blood thirsty but they were always busy with their islam wars thats why u barely heard of them in europe:)) only on late periode they became famous in europe..
It was a crusade of lithuanian catholics against russian orthodox christians who were part of Golden Horde - mongolian empire established by Chingis Khan. Joint russian-mongolian army under command of Saint Alexander Nevsky was able to defeat heavy armored teuthonic knights.
"In the 13th century, the first pan-Russian state (plus much of Ukraine) called Kievan Rus was destroyed by the Mongol hordes with their Muslim Turkish mercenary armies, leading to centuries of Muslim and Mongol domination until the 16th century, when Ivan the Terrible cemented the rebirth of Russia (in Moscow)."
I doubt that Mongols were muslims or had something to do with turks... Ukraine??? At these times there wasnt any Ukraine! description sounds like shit.
Basically, whoever is stupid enough to start a military campaign against the Russians can bet his ass that it's going to be his nation's last military campaign in a VERY long time, if ever again. And sure, it's always either the vast number of (poorly armed) Russians or the winter to blame the crushing defeat. The Teutonic Order, the Mongols, the French, the Nazis, they all broke their teeth and felt the wrath of the largest and mightiest Slavic tribe.
@SelfRapist the mongols had large success in Russian land, imposing taxation from all of russian principalities (included Novgorod). Only the progressive global decline of the Mongols Empire (caused mainly by internal issues) let Moscovia to conquerer the other russian states(Novgorod included) ,and, in the end, to banish the Golden Orde khanate from russia land and form the Russian Tsarate
@SelfRapist but they never conquered any lands and they didn't have any great generals like napoleon, wellington,... you just relied on the vastness of land and harsh seasons that's all nothing to be proud of just a proof of how weak the individual russian is,you are a shame for being a decendant of the scandinavian vikings
@yordi193 The decisive factor was the army but not the weather and the vastness of land,Wellington is not the great commander as Napoleon,Wellington has won only one battle against Napoleon together with the Prussian army,you do not know the history of Russia,in Russia there were many commander that won victory against the enemy,which was more than five times
dude...imperial they have beenknown for doing far worse things....to you its propaganda?to you the teutons were mother teresas helping the poles and the russians....sure....
to tlee somethibg to this imperial guard...who seems does not see that the teutons used their false crusades only for pillage rape destruction and of course killing innocent folk...when they faced the russians in a battle army against army they were smashed down...it was a hard won victory for alexander...but a great loss for russian lifes witch fought only aggains child killing and women rapaing whoresons of the holy roman reich...they showed their ,,german might that day...pathetic
@Rosso drop the term Aryan, unless you are reffering to an invasion of India that happened thousands of years before this. The Teutonic Order is a little over the top burning infants, but lets remember what the Germans were up to in 1938?
@NerdyNerdMajor Reuniting Austria to the Fatherland? XD I dont believe you actualy suport the propaganda message of the video mate is propaganda is suposed to make the other side(Catholics Religion Fascist Nazis Capitalists etc) look bad
This film is propaganda. A role of Alex Nevsky in the history of Russia the disputable. He has preferred Tatars. There were Russian princes who preferred the Swedish influence, but they have lost. In modern Russians all the best that is from northern Aryans
@RossoMaxa1488 Alexander Nevsky saw the Teutonic Knights as a threat to Russian religious and cultural identity. The knights were members of a Roman Catholic military order, granted permission by the Pople to bring northeastern Europe under Roman Catholic domain. Russian people were devout Eastern Orthodox Christians and were will to fight to protect its culture. The Tartars only interest in collecting taxes and tributes from the Russians and would leave them alone as long as they were paid.
@MrLantean Actualy the Mongols woulnt leave them that alone the Mongols destroid entire cities and entrie Rus "kingdmons" like Kievan Rus so dont even compare what Mongols did to what Western Christians it was mongols that slaugther most of Rus people during Middle Ages more than half according to some historians! As for the suposed Pople permision for Teutonics Knigths conquer Russia is just big lie Teutonics had no aims to attack Novgord and Battle on Ice was mainly a battle betwen Novgord
and Local Balts(such as Estonians) that were the MAJORY of the army and Danish and Livonian Order Knigths there were no Teutonic Knigths present in battle!
What you can say is that Livonian Order Knigths were indeed present and since they were sub-branch of Teutonic Order they represent it but they were too few also there only 20 Livonian Knigths in battle the battle itself wasnt that big of deal only soviet movies like this make it so for propaganda purposes
@ImperialGuard9001 Although the Mongols had caused many destructions in Russia, they did not impose their culture on the Russian people. They appointed one Russian prince to rule other Russian princes and collect taxes and tribute on behalf of the Khan. The Teutonics were Roman Catholics and other forms of Christianity were heretics. They would forced the Russians to embrace the Roman Church and would loose their national identity.
@MrLantean Actualy the ones that never imposed their culture and religion were catholics! There was never serious crusade against novgoard as this battle shows
And you can discard that most of Rus People were pretty much exterminated during this time?!
Croatians became Catholic and didnt lose their national identy dont see how being catholic makes you lose your national identy
"Didnt imposed their religion and culture" On Russian people of course they imposed whatver they went xD I dont know why Novgord was never a targed like Lithunia or other Baltic Peoples but fact is Novogord never face a "real crusade" like lithunians had they had skirmish against Teutonic Order many times incited by local balts! They had wars with Sweden but were more of political order than religious kind
@ImperialGuard9001 Catholics believes that their church is the only true Christian faith. When Catholic crusaders established states in Greece and Palestine, they made the Orthodox Church a surbordinate church. Orthodox Christians were forced to accept the authority of the Pope. There were cases where Orthodox priests and monks were executed on the grounds of heresy. In Cyprus, 13 Orthodox monks were executed for refusing to make concessions with the Catholic Church.
@MrLantean I know I wasnt dennying anything of that sort I am just saing on topic of Novgord and Russian people they were never persecuted dont know if was for a strong state with novgord or for anny other reason I think do think Teutonics had quite "work" cut out for them with Baltic Peoples Lithunians Latvians Estonians Prussians etc and other peoples like "Asian" Steep People also they had conflit with catholic powers like Polish factions and Kalmar Union
@ImperialGuard9001 The Teutonic invasion of the Baltic states and northern Russia was part of the Northern Crusades. The Baltic population was pagan during 12th and 13th centuries and the Teutonic Knights were authorized by the Pope to bring them under the Church of Rome. Russians were faithful Orthodox Christians and saw the Teutonic Knights as a theat to their culture. The Mongols were still a powerful political entity and Nevsky maintained his friendship wih the Khan.
@ssnakessnake2 Hey dont ruin the propaganda soviet history XD It was crusade by unholy Papacy and made by Germans that were evil against the Proletarian State that was Novgord XD
Rus people( our ancestors were of Swedish germanic decent) but like United states who were british got away from Britain so did we. we're different. and yes i think we're the vikings.... they left sissy boys back at north. thats why northern nations became weak lol :)
im not hating i love all you north Europeans. but you gotta recognize, we got slavized,
dont' be so jealous neo-nazi kraut wannabe,russians where always slandering krauts vermins,Alexander Nevsky exterminate your beloved krauts killers.
840 years after, Marshal Stalin and Marshal Zhukov have destroyed your shithead germans dogs ! :)
germans from teutons to ss where only good at one thing: killing innocent women and childrens..so it doesn't matter now, germany will be muslims in another 30 years hahaha ! :D
@Iranien87 Shut up if I recal it correctly the only ones that got exterminated in this time by Mongols and then by several factions during WW1 and WWII and WWII itself were the Soviets! I just love it how mighy soviet army werent even able to take out a smal country like FINLAND For peace sake! You talk the talk can you walk the walk friend? And News Flash Russia has having the same immigrant low birth problemas as rest of Europe and one of worst economical crisis on Europe
@Iranien87 Also Stalin didnt just exterminated Germans he extermianted quite a few of his people(Soviet People Several Nations)! USSR isnt only anti Fascist NS German whatver is also Anti Russian! If Communists had their own there will be no Russian people nowsdays! So realy pay attencion to what hell you are talking about! And Alexander didnt extermanited squad! He was great leader but battle of ice was smal victory for Russian People compared to other like Stand at Ugra river
No it wasnt! Catholic Crusade to Exterminate Norther Europe? XDLOL Of course not! This wasnt even a Crusade or Serioues military expedtion by Teutonic Order there were none Teutonic Knigths in this battle!
@ssnakessnake1 No Russians had no Religion they were Atheists XD at least thats how movie make them dont know if anyone notices but there is little to none reference to the Ordotox Church of Russia this on purpose on other hand Teutonic Feature Cruces and Priests often the movie is suposed to show that religion is bad aswell especealy Catholocism
I am polish and as you know i may dont like crusaders but i have to say that it propaganda, they made very strong country on the Baltic seaside, good organization made them avaible to attack Lithuania and Poland who where much bigger kingdoms. But they are still murderers in our minds...
Yes, but you had not only the European nobles and their knights, but there are also the Military Orders, and that is what I meant by organization. These particular Crusaders are members of the Military Order of St. Mary, also known as the Teutonic Knights. And according to my last psych evaluation, I am perfectly sane, but thank you for your concern. :-)
They should remake this movie. With a better soundtrack PLEASE but same music of course. And don't be so heavy on any anti christian stuff since I'll bet all these teutonics wanted was LAND (and Rus wanted to keep their orthodox christianity-AND their land).
@vllmer Teutonics had no intention of conquering Novgord. This was made by Eisenstein by Stalin command it was propaganda not real history is still one best pieces of cinema!
Well actually it was more like 1000 German knights and 3000 latvian allies. But still, u dont understand the importance at that time that army could make. nations were made and broken with less. It was a very important battle indeed!
Most funny thing is, this "great historic battle of lake peipus" in which thousands of german Deutschritter have been slaughtered, lately was recognized more likely as an little skirmish between about 300 Deutschritter and some more domestics. Yeah...man likes to tell big storys. I guess most of the great ancient battles were pumped up a little.
Reminds me of some Nazi.propaganda movies, or some u.s. "Hun" movies from WW1. Well i guess this bullshit is the same everywhere. But its enough to push up emotions on many stupid people.
Fuck stalin! He made the soviet people have economic problems. And second, the movie proves only that europe was in chaos because of disease, poverty, and holy wars.
it would be the next king or count etc. in the thinking of this time. It was very common everywhere to kill the kings familiy - even within the families.
And this is an historic film about German occupation of christian cleric armies (Kreuzritterorden). Its the christian cross you see on their uniforms.
This film may not be completely historically correct, but still is based on facts. Eisenstein was simply mirroring the truth and the danger, that germans posed to Russia in those days...
calm down, this may be a historical drama but this was made in 1938 in SOVIET RUSSIA when German-Russian relations began to deteriorate before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Since the Teutonic Order consisted of Northern Germans, the Soviets wanted to show the reenactment of Nevskii's victory over the German crusaders as a warning: Even with their powerful armies the Russians will eventually overpower and destroy them should they tempt to cross them. Remember, it's all propaganda
Pfft. Knights Teutonic never we're that merciless to Christians. Pagans and Muslims, thats another story. But if you where Catholic, Orthodox or even Jewish, you spared yourself from that fate. Unless the Pope wished it otherwise.
so what you say. Russia does not attack Teutones, but they attacked Russia. battle with Teutonic Chudskoe-Lake preceded the looting of Pskov. and Novgorod the Great, would also be sacked as Constantinople once. they are not fighting against the Orthodox ...
"...Leave us alone: you have not read Those bloody tablets; Mute to you are the Kremlin and Praga; Unthinkingly you are beguiled By the valor of a desperate struggle - And you hate us . . . And for what? Reply: is it because On the ruins of blazing Moscow We did not acknowledge the insolent will Of him under whom you quaked? Because we hurled into the abyss The idol heavy-looming over kingdoms, And with our blood redeemed Europe's freedom, honour, and peace?..."
"....Or is it new to us to be at odds with Europe? Or has the Russian grown unused to victories? Are there too few of us? Or will, from Perm to Tauris, From frigid crags of Finland to the flaming Colchis, From the shaken Kremlin To stagnant China's walls, Flashing with steely bristle, Not rise the Russian land? Send then to us, oh, bards, Your sons enraged: There's room for them in Russia's fields, 'Mid graves that are not strange to them." Alexander Pushkin, "To the slanderers of Russia" (1831)
You guys are right, I should have paid more attention to what I was commenting on. I had also just watched several other videos in a grouping about battle of Saule and Arkona etc. so I guess that I was confused about what I was watching with this one. I accept the pointy hat award!
pro-stalin or pro-hitler discussion aside: I see this as pro-Heathen propaganda. Heathenism is an issue more pertainant to euroculture than debates about ww2, imo. Slava Perun, slava Rus! Hailsa to the Heathen Folk of europa!
This is a timely propaganda piece commissioned by Stalin against the German threat. Ironically, Stalin himself suppressed the film after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-Aggression Pact in Moscow.
It was shown extensively in theaters again after the German invasion of Russia.
How come German didn't wear snowshoes or skates.Swiming glasses would help too. By 1941they have learned but with similar result. What's wrong with them ?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This movie is complete propaganda. The russians were always interviening with countries in that region, thats why the teutons attacked them. Well fought by the russians though.
He was being sarcastic douchefag. The Teotunic Order slaughtered anyone non-Catholic. The Baltic Pagans and the Russians happened to be Orthodox so as far as the Order was conserned, they were to be converted or slaughtered too.
LMAO German faggot. Thats why we completely destroyed your MASTER RACE's all POWERFUL military. Your an idiot. History repeats itself and your too dumb to realise that. Whenever a foreign army crosses into Russian Imperial and Soviet lands, we shall destroy you and drive you back to where you came from. In your case, Berlin. I cant beleive our soldiers gave the Berlinians bread and water after we had won. Should have shoved all you idiot degenerates into your own gas chambers and burned Berlin.
I never said it wasn't...It was a remarkable acheivement. France fell in 3 weeks. But the courage of the men and women of the Soviet Union provailed. History repeats itself.
Who cares? We beat you (most powerful army at the time), destroyed your armies, stole your advcanced technology and scientists. We can do that because we defeated you fair and square. Julius Caesar once said; "The conquerers may do what they please with the vanquished." So yeah, you lose - get over it.
Thats hilarious! But hey america conquered you without firing a shot! When has Russia or any country taken on the world and defeated so many armies. Answer is Never. Whats hilarious is Russians like you, look at Nevesky as he is your hero yet you stupid russian killed your monarchy. Russia threw away your christanity, and were left with nothing. It was the Russian martial arts which stemed from Christian orthodox teaching that saved you in the end.
America never even set foot on our land. And the Kremlin authorised countries that had been Russian for up to 600 years ie. Ukraine, Belarus to form their own independant nation. America won shit all. Russia alone is more powerful than America now. And Nevesky is not a 'hero'. People like the philosophers, mathematicians and writers of Russia are the famous ones. Religion is just a beleif, who cares. And id like to see America take on the Third Reich at full strength. They would be slaughtered.
And yours is a fascist-nazi version then. The mongols would have conquered everyone if Ogodai Khan hadn't died and his Generals like Subotai who were poised to destroy the Holy Roman Empire weren't told to go back to the capital Beijing. The Germans conquered the Roman Empire, Scandinavia and England (Saxons, Angles). But they never pushed farther than Lithuania in the East with Prussia being the most Easternmost province.
No Russian there in Berlin committed mass rape on old women, little girls and murdered priets. Yes they did bring bread afterwards, but that was after they raped and murdered families. Face it you Russians were lead by the worst devil of all in Stalin and the Jew commie order. Its historical FACT. And know I don't have any problems with russians in general, good luck in Chechnia though.
The 'commies' disliked the jews just like Hitler. And Stalin was Georgian. Everyone knows that Stalin was a monster. The government, now a federation acknowleged what he did and paid victims of his crimes as compensation and has apologized. Just like the Germans did with the Jewish people after WWII. Rape? No. Rape was punished by death. Looting however yes. Not as if the Germans didnt do the same to our towns and cities. In Leningrad they stole so much gold and silver statues aswell as artwork.
Your soldiers killed 20 million Russian civilians. All because they weren't Aryan. How about we kill 20 million Germans for not being Slavic? Not fair is it. LOL...no problems with Russia...perhaps but your brain definitely. Chehcnya was won over 6 years ago and Grozny has been rebuilt it is completely peaceful there now. Look at pictures and videos. If radical Muslims started killing your people and soldiers within your country, im pretty sure you would send soldiers to stop the rebellion too.
20 million civilians, they were not all civilians first off, but actual combatants or partizans. Russia lost alot of civilians because your government brought that on it self with bad marxist ideology that was retarded. Example of this would be what your people willing did to the army before the war even started, in killing all its officers before the war started. Sorry but communist self sabotaged their own country.
No 20 million civilians and 10 million active military personnel. There was no government. Stalin was supreme ruler and he destroyed the army's officers in the late 30's. Stalin WAS the government, he WAS the law. But if Stalin hadnt modernized Russia, we might never have won.
No your wrong again you don't know what your talking about, and its your own country...lol.
Stalin didn't modernize shit he kept you back, along with the whole Soviet government. Face it! This video is made by stupid communists the irony in this movie is putride!
Your an idiot, under the Tsar, Russia was 200 years behind the countries of western europe technologically. Stalin modernized the nation with economic reforms that cost the lives of millions but was well worth it. You lost the argument and are resorting to abuse and provokation. You simply are stupid. Get some facts. Learn some history and quit embarrassing yourself and your country. If all Germans are like you, no wonder you put Hitler into power.
Your so stupid! With a statement like Stalin version of modernizing was worth it, I can't discuss with a stupid potatoes brain like you. Buddy the only history you know is Soviet lies and exaggerations, do us a favour and kill yourself you stupid athiest.
Soviet lies? HAHA. I hate communism and what it did to the people of the countries. But Stalins 3 five year plans of economic reform modernized the Soviet Union. Google it and look at the statistics and facts. He turned Russia into a economic powerhouse. All your doing now is just being aggresive and offensive because you know you lost the argument so de everyone a favour and read some history books.
It wasn't an economic power house buddy! There modernization mostly came from remenants of the old gaurd of Russia and Germany. Sorry but its true! I know many Russians, and have been there in moscow.
No it wasn't lmao. Stalin built the White Sea Canal. He made Russia produce more pig-iron, steel, coal and electricity than ever before. He re-designed agriculture from feudalistic and self-servingness into modern production and urbanized the country building many industrial cities to provide work. And it beat the British Empire, the US and Germany in Oil production and came second to the US with electricity, steel and iron production-beating Germany and the British Empire. Those are the FACTS.
Most importantly I don't like muslims and i agree with the war with chechnia, Russia should have killed them all. Putin was to soft on them, but politics rule the day. The muslims are a beast example Beslan. All muslims should be anilated! Islam is radical.
I knew you were crazy. I don't like Muslims that much but some are good people. Like the Armenians and other Soviet muslims like Kazakhstan. Some arab muslims are ok but they are to radical and extreme. But we did not attack Chechnya because they're muslim, but because they wanted to create their own state within Russian territory and rebelled. So we sent the military to quash the rebellion which turned into a short war. But it is over now and Gronzy has been rebuilt into a nice city again.
I think your the crazy one kid spouting of historical innacuracies and wish thinking. Secoundly Russia had an ambundance in all natural resources, if they were not at the top of the heap it would literally mean that russia would so inafficient that it would be like sitting next to a gold pile,and not be able to pick up a shuvel and put it in a wheel barrel. Look after the soviet union their industry was pathetic. You just need to shed all the soviet brainwashing that still lingers in your mind.
You are ridiculously obnoxious to the facts. GOOGLE it. Why do you think even America was afraid of the Soviet Union? Why do you think we defeated YOU. The greatest military power in the world in 1941...And we didnt win those resouces. We conquered those terretories back in the Imperial days.
Also your logic of some muslim arabs are okay, is just a stupid childish opinion. Your generation is brought up on the diet of imaginating the world will get along. You must agree with George Bush and tony blair policy that Islam is peacefull.
Islam is not peaceful. But some people are. 80% of the Muslim world is violent and intollerant of other religions. These are the people i do not like. Some of them are ok though. The world will never get along. Violence and war has been running in the veins of humans since the dawn of time. Oh and fuck George Bush the Imperial fascist and fuck Tony Blair the incompetent imbecile.
the soviet union did then sort of starve west berlin mind later on and nato sorta saved their asses, well if everyoen could just kjeeep their armies in their borders things would be fine aye
Ukrainian history does start from Kiev Rus, and modern russians should not be regarded as the people that lived through it, their moscovians, Ukrainians and belorussians should go by their name, ruthenians. rusyny.
Kiev was founded by the vikings, and novgorod was never called russian until it came under control of Kiev, which at that time was called russia, so Ukrainiains are real russians? what?
actually 1941. They made the movie after Germany attack Soviet Union, like u said for propaganda purpose to show the Soviet soldiers that Russia had always beat Germans and will win again
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Russia? Funny wording. Someone not familiar with Eastern Europe might think that Moscow had anything to do with this battle.
It was the Novgorod Republic led by Nevsky that fought against crusaders. Moscow later attacked this republic, conquered it, and completely annihilated it, killing almost every citizen and sending the rest far away. Russia? Ha?
Russians are fond of showing off themselves at someone else's expense.
its quiet exagerated some things in this movie/for example throwing children in fire/ but i guess for that time, during ww2 it had great propoganda afect

I doubt that Mongols were muslims or had something to do with turks... Ukraine??? At these times there wasnt any Ukraine! description sounds like shit.
HappyRoger123 1 year ago
Basically, whoever is stupid enough to start a military campaign against the Russians can bet his ass that it's going to be his nation's last military campaign in a VERY long time, if ever again. And sure, it's always either the vast number of (poorly armed) Russians or the winter to blame the crushing defeat. The Teutonic Order, the Mongols, the French, the Nazis, they all broke their teeth and felt the wrath of the largest and mightiest Slavic tribe.

This film is propaganda. A role of Alex Nevsky in the history of Russia the disputable. He has preferred Tatars. There were Russian princes who preferred the Swedish influence, but they have lost. In modern Russians all the best that is from northern Aryans

@RossoMaxa1488 Alexander Nevsky saw the Teutonic Knights as a threat to Russian religious and cultural identity. The knights were members of a Roman Catholic military order, granted permission by the Pople to bring northeastern Europe under Roman Catholic domain. Russian people were devout Eastern Orthodox Christians and were will to fight to protect its culture. The Tartars only interest in collecting taxes and tributes from the Russians and would leave them alone as long as they were paid.

@MrLantean Actualy the Mongols woulnt leave them that alone the Mongols destroid entire cities and entrie Rus "kingdmons" like Kievan Rus so dont even compare what Mongols did to what Western Christians it was mongols that slaugther most of Rus people during Middle Ages more than half according to some historians! As for the suposed Pople permision for Teutonics Knigths conquer Russia is just big lie Teutonics had no aims to attack Novgord and Battle on Ice was mainly a battle betwen Novgord
ImperialGuard9001 1 year ago
and Local Balts(such as Estonians) that were the MAJORY of the army and Danish and Livonian Order Knigths there were no Teutonic Knigths present in battle!
What you can say is that Livonian Order Knigths were indeed present and since they were sub-branch of Teutonic Order they represent it but they were too few also there only 20 Livonian Knigths in battle the battle itself wasnt that big of deal only soviet movies like this make it so for propaganda purposes
ImperialGuard9001 1 year ago
@ImperialGuard9001 Although the Mongols had caused many destructions in Russia, they did not impose their culture on the Russian people. They appointed one Russian prince to rule other Russian princes and collect taxes and tribute on behalf of the Khan. The Teutonics were Roman Catholics and other forms of Christianity were heretics. They would forced the Russians to embrace the Roman Church and would loose their national identity.

@MrLantean Actualy the ones that never imposed their culture and religion were catholics! There was never serious crusade against novgoard as this battle shows
And you can discard that most of Rus People were pretty much exterminated during this time?!

"Didnt imposed their religion and culture" On Russian people of course they imposed whatver they went xD I dont know why Novgord was never a targed like Lithunia or other Baltic Peoples but fact is Novogord never face a "real crusade" like lithunians had they had skirmish against Teutonic Order many times incited by local balts! They had wars with Sweden but were more of political order than religious kind
ImperialGuard9001 1 year ago
@ImperialGuard9001 Catholics believes that their church is the only true Christian faith. When Catholic crusaders established states in Greece and Palestine, they made the Orthodox Church a surbordinate church. Orthodox Christians were forced to accept the authority of the Pope. There were cases where Orthodox priests and monks were executed on the grounds of heresy. In Cyprus, 13 Orthodox monks were executed for refusing to make concessions with the Catholic Church.

@MrLantean I know I wasnt dennying anything of that sort I am just saing on topic of Novgord and Russian people they were never persecuted dont know if was for a strong state with novgord or for anny other reason I think do think Teutonics had quite "work" cut out for them with Baltic Peoples Lithunians Latvians Estonians Prussians etc and other peoples like "Asian" Steep People also they had conflit with catholic powers like Polish factions and Kalmar Union

@ImperialGuard9001 The Teutonic invasion of the Baltic states and northern Russia was part of the Northern Crusades.

Russians were faithful Orthodox Christians and saw the Teutonic Knights as a theat to their culture. The Mongols were still a powerful political entity and Nevsky maintained his friendship wih the Khan.

calm down, this may be a historical drama but this was made in 1938 in SOVIET RUSSIA when German-Russian relations began to deteriorate before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Since the Teutonic Order consisted of Northern Germans, the Soviets wanted to show the reenactment of Nevskii's victory over the German crusaders as a warning: Even with their powerful armies the Russians will eventually overpower and destroy them should they tempt to cross them. Remember, it's all propaganda

How can Russians claim this victory to themselves, when they actually killed all citizens of Novgorod who fought in this battle?
In fact, Russians finished what German Crusaders failed to achieve.

Russia? Funny wording. Someone not familiar with Eastern Europe might think that Moscow had anything to do with this battle.
It was the Novgorod Republic led by Nevsky that fought against crusaders. Moscow later attacked this republic, conquered it, and completely annihilated it, killing almost every citizen and sending the rest far away. Russia? Ha?
Russians are fond of showing off themselves at someone else's expense.
