This was VERY brief and VERY one-sided history. I think the one who made this video should have used more reliable sourses of information than based the video on the material of the film. Films (even if claimed to be documentary) often disagree with history.

By the way, despite the common belief, we are friendly, kind-hearted, hospitable, humorous, SANE and POLITE. If you think we are not being polite while talking to you, mind that our neutral intonation SOUNDS rude to you) In fact, it isn't.

@kuraraShotai9 Yeah its good for propaganda and imposing the point of view which is beneficial to those who have the power at the moment. Dont really care about explaining for 3 pages if youre missing the point of what i meant.

[kuraraShotai9]

@urka666 geez, someone's being cynical here am I wrong? besides, the history channel is suppose to be cinematic, to catch people's attention, and can actually be very useful if someone wants to see a quick glimpse at history of whatever they want in general, and there is nothing wrong with being emotional, it makes people inspired to strive for what they want in life 8that, and being very ambicious, or is that the same thing?)

[kuraraShotai9]

@ZimoP ...simply focusing on one part of the subject, like when learning about, i don't know, the Spanish-American war; in spain, students will likely know more about what the spanish did an maybe make the americans look like the "bad guys", and vice versa in the american schools. If people really want to learn history, they can find out about events through history books and historically-accurate websites on the inernet.

[kuraraShotai9]

@ZimoP well, I may not know much about russian history, since i have not had that kind of education (limited to an american public school, wish it had more history books or even mangas i could read, the school library sucks), but just about every nation has done that to another nation at least once, and it's common knowledge that the school systems mainly teach students about the "good" parts in history of their own nation, it doesn't mean they're denying it, it could just mean that they are...

[kuraraShotai9]

@imarekena you're good *thumbs up*, no wrong translation

Ok, ty, I know stereotypes are a bad argument. And I know its extremely important to make a difference between individuals and the policies of a state.

I oppose the Russian state as we know it today, because it's grown at the expense of many small peoples, including mine.

The last 1000 years have been a losing struggle of survival for the finno-ugric peoples.

The reason I choose to whine about this is because I feel people are not aware enough.

@kuraraShotai9 Learn to read. I didnt bash on any country. And the comment was about the general western view of russian history, not about this particular video. History channels try to make history entertaining like a feature film in order to attract the audience.Its all a bunch of generalizations and emotional crap. Wouldnt really recommend them to anyone.

А снег в России не красный, а белый))) А ещё мокрый и тает, ибо сейчас в Москве -3 (джунгли, ХХ__)))

That is result of cold war (or how it's called in America?0-0)..
