  There appears to be something missing. The expansion of the Russian Empire began long before Peter the Great. I believe the conquest of Siberia began under Ivan the Terrible around 1580.

  I’m currently in a rabbit hole of Anglo-Saxon English history at the moment, so I’ve just found out that there was another English connection besides Queen Victoria. <br><br>Harold Godwinson’s daughter Gytha actually married the Rurik Prince Vladimir II, so their line carried all the way through to the Romanovs. <br><br>Many Anglo-Saxon dispossessed were scattered throughout Europe after 1066. The same applies to Edmund. Since there was a strong English presence in Novgorod and in Kiev after the Battle of Hastings.<br><br>Don’t know if anyone else is aware of this, but that’s pretty interesting.

  Awesome! A history lesson, &nbsp;the use of actors, silent Hollywood films, &nbsp;actual battle footage, all narrated by historians, &nbsp;makes this video a must see. There&apos;s something for everyone. &nbsp;War and Peace to this day. No loud music, &nbsp;even better. 10/10~☆♡

  Ioannes Severus was the first Russian Emperor. &nbsp;And he expanded Russia a lot more than Peter. &nbsp;However, Ivan&apos;s death led to the Time of Troubles. &nbsp;Still they should had started with him.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCUDn15OpeU&amp;t=1840">30:40</a>: Good documentary but as a weapons nerd I must point out the Lee-Enfield was used by the British army from 1895 to the 1950&apos;s, and the British used the Pattern 1853 Enfield in the Crimean War.

  Забавно наблюдать как на протяжении более 600ста лет англосаксов корежит при самом упоминании России и то, что ей достались эти угодья, пахотные земли и ресурсы. До сих пор западный мир скрежещет зубами от злобы, что не могут нагадить ещё больше русскому народу, который ничего плохого им не сделал
