A man in a rustic red sweatshirt is seated on a tan leather couch, holding a small, thick book with gold-edged pages. He rapidly flips through the pages, then tears out a page with a map on it, holding it up to the camera. He appears frustrated by the map's size.

"Russia, here we go. It's like this page and this page. This is Russia. It's huge. It doesn't even fit on one of these pages. I ripped the page."

The man leans forward, then the scene quickly cuts to a black and white animation of a globe, with Russia highlighted in white. The animation then transitions to various vibrant and diverse scenes of Russia, including St. Basil's Cathedral, people climbing a skyscraper, military parades, traditional dancers, a man eating ice, a bear in a river, people swimming in a snowy lake, and a city at night.

"Let's look at Russia."

Setting: Russia — varied, from bright daylight to nighttime city lights

The scene transitions from a satellite view of a city to a wider shot of Russia, then to a snowy landscape with tents and sleds, followed by women in green traditional dresses dancing in a field, an aerial view of a river flowing through a forest, and a woman having her headscarf adjusted by an older woman. The scene continues to show groups of people in traditional attire and diverse natural landscapes of Russia, including mountains and forests.

"But wait, yes, this is Russia, but Russia is also this, and this, and this. This one country encompasses over 100 languages, spread across 11 time zones."

The video displays aerial views of vast, snow-covered mountains and expansive green plains, emphasizing the immense size of Russia. The scene transitions to an animated map of Russia, with fiery red and icy blue colors spreading across its borders, highlighting its enormity. The title 'WHY IS RUSSIA SO DAMN BIG?' appears prominently on screen.

"I mean, the place is freaking huge. Countries aren't really supposed to be this big. So how did this happen? How did Russia become so damn big?"

The video cuts back to the man on the couch, explaining country sizes. He gestures with his hands as he talks. Animated maps then appear, showing the outlines of Monaco, Belgium, France, Texas, and the continental USA, with their respective sizes in square kilometers displayed on screen.

"Countries come in all shapes and sizes. You have really small countries like here in Europe, the country of Monaco is tiny. It's literally two square kilometers, like smaller than most cities. Now that's obviously an outlier. So let's look at a more average-sized country like Belgium, more like 11,000 square kilometers. Then you have even bigger countries like France, like 550,000 square kilometers. Over here in the United States, where everything is apparently bigger, you have states that are bigger than France, like the state of Texas is 695,000 square kilometers. All 48 of these continental United States are huge by European standards, at least. This whole continental United States is 8 million square kilometers."

The man on the couch continues to explain, using animated maps to illustrate the relative sizes of countries. A circle representing an 'average' country is shown on the USA map, then Canada is highlighted, followed by Russia, which dwarfs all others. A bar chart displays the area of the largest countries, with Russia at the top.

"So you have all these different sizes of countries. The average sort of looks like this. And then you have the second largest country on Earth, which is Canada, huge. But now, take a look at the size of the largest country on Earth. Russia is huge. It is more than double the size of the continental United States. 17 million square kilometers. Makes up 1/8 of the total habitable area on Earth. And it's almost double the next biggest country on this list. I mean, it's mind-blowing."

The video displays a satellite map of Europe and Asia, with Russia highlighted in red. The borders of Europe, Turkey, China, and North Korea are highlighted as the narrator describes Russia's extensive geographical connections.

"Russia is a part of Europe. It also shares a beach line with Turkey. But then you go all the way over here, and it has an extensive border with China and North Korea."

The map continues to zoom and pan, showing the vastness of Russia's borders. It highlights the proximity of Russia to the USA across the Bering Strait, showing two small islands between the two countries, with a distance of 3.7 km indicated.

"Keep going, and it stretches all the way up here to where you could literally swim from Russia to the United States, assuming you can swim, you know, like two and a half miles."

The man on the couch returns to the screen, emphasizing the immense size of Russia with hand gestures and a serious expression. He then explains that Russia wasn't always this large.

"So yeah, Russia is freaking huge. It's giant. But not that long ago, Russia wasn't huge. In fact, relative to empires and their borders, Russia was kind of a small fish. And that's the story I want to tell you."

Setting: living room — soft, natural light

The video transitions to a map of Europe, highlighting a small orange area labeled 'KIEVAN RUS'. The map then shows a green path of flat grasslands extending eastward, illustrating an easy route for armies. The scene cuts to an aerial view of vast grasslands with a winding river, followed by a depiction of horsemen riding across a green landscape, and an ancient painting of warriors on horseback.

"A thousand years ago, Russia looked like this. A loose group of Slavic peoples who were a growing and prosperous society here in Eastern Europe. But they had a pretty big weakness, and that weakness looked like this. These are flat grasslands, which are very easy to cross if you're an army looking to pillage land."

The map shows the Mongol Empire expanding across Asia in red, following the green path of grasslands. Images of Mongol warriors on horseback, a historical painting depicting the invasion and burning of cities, and close-ups of frightened faces from the painting are shown.

"And that's exactly what a group of horse-riding warriors did. These guys were the Mongols, and they basically used this path of flat grasslands to traverse across Asia and expand their empire. 40,000 of these Mongol guys on horses with bows and arrows eventually made it all the way here to the Slavic peoples of Russia. Here, here's an image of them invading the cities and burning them down, conquering these people. Look how scared these people look. I mean, I would be too if 40,000 Mongols on horseback rode into my city."

Text: "KIEVAN RUS"

The map shows the Kievan Rus' territory being taken over by the Mongol Empire, with cracks appearing in the Kievan Rus' area. Historical paintings depict people paying taxes to Mongol rulers and a map of the Golden Horde empire. The scene then cuts to the man on the couch, explaining the rise of Moscow.

"Anyway, so the Mongols take over this little block of Slavic people, and it really weakens their society. It breaks up all the cities that were sort of collaborating with each other. And now they're paying taxes to the Mongols, like this empire that was from super far away, like on the other side of the world. But there was one city in this area that was particularly ready to fight back. They were quietly getting more powerful. This city was called Muscovy, or Moscow, eventually. And it became the regional epicenter for trading fur, which is a thing that was becoming all the rage in Europe."

The man on the couch explains Moscow's rise. Historical paintings depict battles with gunpowder and guns, and then the Mongol Empire is shown on a map, starting to crack and shrink. More historical paintings show fierce warriors on horseback.

"Moscow was also learning how to use gunpowder and guns and technology from Europe. And before long, they were able to punch back against the Mongols, whose big-ass empire was getting really big and hard to maintain, and it sort of starting to crack. And Moscow was there to take advantage of this. I mean, let's be honest. There's only so long you can keep an empire that looks like this together. Way too big. I mean, this is the biggest land empire in history. But it didn't last long, even though they had these badass warriors on horseback. Anyway."

The map shows Muscovy expanding eastward, pushing back the Mongols. On-screen text displays a quote from Moscow. The map then highlights the Ural Mountains as a natural border, with a cartoon speech bubble saying 'NICE' from the 'EUROPE' side. The man on the couch explains the strategic importance of natural borders.

"So yeah, Moscow started punching back. They had fur money, and they had gunpowder, and they were having success pushing the Mongols out and moving east. One thing's for sure, said Moscow, which was soon becoming the Russian Empire, "We are not going to let anyone sneak up on us again like the Mongols did!" And everyone over here sort of chuckled in European and said, "Don't you realize that the only way to keep people out is to have like mountains and water to protect you?" And the Russians were like, "Oh yeah, you mean like these?" And the Europeans were like, "Nice.""

The man on the couch explains Russia's expansion. The map shows Muscovy growing into Russia, with the Ural Mountains forming a natural border. A green overlay appears, highlighting a 'HUGE GAP' in the mountains, indicating a flaw in the natural defense. Red lines then show invasion routes through this gap towards Moscow. The man expresses frustration at this vulnerability.

"So Moscow, which was just a city, but is now becoming the Russian Empire, starts expanding towards these mountains. And soon they have like a nice empire-sized set of borders. Some mountains for protection. They have an economy of fur. They have technology and commerce. They're getting rich. Things were looking good for Russia. But wait a minute. Can we overlay that green layer on the map that shows the superhighway of grasslands that the Mongols used to invade? Yeah, that one. That one. Ugh, look, there's a flaw in the plan. Nice try, Russia, but you see that this natural border, which is great, has a huge gap of flat grasslands that people can easily pass directly on their way to Moscow."

The man on the couch explains Russia's continued expansion. The map shows Muscovy expanding into Russia, with the Ural Mountains as a partial border. The scene then cuts to historical portraits of Ivan the Terrible, emphasizing his ambition to expand Russia eastward beyond the mountains. The map then shows Russia expanding past the Ural Mountains.

"So it's the middle of the 1500s. Moscow has beat back the Mongols, is expanding east. They're doing their fur thing. They find kind of a natural border, but it doesn't really work. So they're still looking for a natural border or water or something to buffer their country to the east. And then this terrible guy comes into power. His name was literally Ivan the Terrible. And he had some pretty big ambitions for expanding Russia. He's like, "Dude, we don't need to stop at these mountains. Let's see how far we can push this thing east." Way past the mountains."

The video shows a map of Russia expanding into Siberia, then transitions to aerial views of snowy forests and frozen rivers. The man on the couch explains the discovery of Siberia and the value of fur. Images of bears and wolves in snowy landscapes are shown, illustrating the source of the fur. The map of Russia then overlays a snowy forest, with the Ural Mountains highlighted.

"What he finds on the other side of these mountains is a very sparsely populated land of ice called Siberia. There wasn't a lot of people here, and the people that were there weren't super resistant to this Russian takeover. The main thing that the Russians had to fight against was the cold. But with cold comes furry animals who have thick coats of fur, which again was incredibly valuable in European markets. And that helped fuel this race to just keep going east."

The man on the couch expresses his thoughts on Russia's relentless expansion. The map shows Russia expanding further eastward, reaching the Pacific Ocean and then moving into Alaska. Historical paintings depict Russian expeditions and interactions with indigenous people. On-screen text displays a quote from a government official about the 'erotic' nature of expansion. The man reacts with a puzzled expression.

"Is it just me or are they sort of overcompensating? Like, yeah, we get it. You got invaded by the Mongols, and like you want to like make sure it doesn't happen again, but like settle down. They just kept moving east till eventually they reached the Pacific Ocean, the edge of the world. But they didn't stop there. They just kept going. I mean, listen, this is so far away from the original starting point of Moscow. And it started to get to the point where the government back in Moscow was sort of sending out expeditions, not really sure what they were doing and what they were taking over because they couldn't really like stay in touch with them. They were just sort of hoping for the best. After one Russian dude went out on an expedition and conquered some remote city in the Far East, a government official back in Moscow said, "Nobody really knows why he did that and to what end. There is, however, something erotic taking place in the borders of our empire..." Erotic. I guess that's one way to talk about it."

The man on the couch explains the unique nature of Russian imperialism. Historical paintings depict Russians negotiating with indigenous tribes, then engaging in violent conflict when met with resistance. The man emphasizes that many tribes willingly joined the empire, retaining their cultural identities. The map of Russia then shows various colored regions representing diverse cultures and languages within the empire.

"But here's the most interesting part to me about this Russian imperialism that is very different than most imperialism that I've looked into. When the Russians would find a tribe or a people or a culture that was very different than theirs because they were so far from home, they first tried to negotiate with them and convince them to join the Russian Empire. If people resisted, it got very predictable imperialism very quickly. But a lot of tribes didn't resist, and they found it beneficial to be a part of this growing empire. So this empire grew without a lot of conflict, and in the process, enveloping a lot of cultures that sort of kept their identity, their language, their culture far, far away from Moscow."

The man on the couch explains Russia's current administrative divisions. The map of Russia shows 85 colored territories, with 22 republics highlighted. The scene transitions to various cultural performances and landscapes from these republics, including children dancing, people in traditional attire, and a person playing a drum. The man emphasizes the diverse and unique styles within Russia.

"Because of this, Russia today is, yes, this huge landmass, but perhaps a better way to look at it is this. Russia today is divided into 85 territories. 22 of these territories are actually called republics. They have their own official language, their own legislature, and basically are totally independent from Russia, except for in international affairs. It's like 22 countries within a country, all with their own unique style. So yeah, while Russia is this, there's also other versions of Russia, and I want to show you some of those."

The man on the couch introduces the Republic of Sakha. The map shows Sakha highlighted in green, with its name displayed. The scene transitions to images of people in traditional attire, reindeer herders, and a child, emphasizing their distinct appearance from typical Russians. The capital city, Yakutsk, is shown in snowy landscapes, highlighting its extreme cold. Images of giant diamond mines are displayed, and the map of Sakha reappears.

"Stop one, let's look at the Republic of Sakha. It's located way in the east, and it's huge, 3.1 million square kilometers. Massive. This place is in a time zone six hours ahead of Moscow. The people here don't look like Putin at all. Their ancestors are not from the original Moscow Russia area. And they speak their own Northern Siberian Turkic language as well. The capital of this Russian Republic is way up here. It's called Yakutsk. It's the coldest large city on Earth, with an average temperature of minus eight degrees centigrade. And this whole region is full of these giant holes. In these holes, they're looking for diamonds. 25% of the world's diamonds are mined in this republic. So yeah, this is Russia."

The map highlights Dagestan in green, with its name displayed. The scene transitions to aerial views of mountainous, dry landscapes with villages, emphasizing the unique climate and terrain. Images of people in traditional Dagestani attire, including women in headscarves and men in fur hats, are shown. A mosque minaret is also visible. The man on the couch explains the linguistic and religious diversity of Dagestan.

"Next stop, down here is Dagestan, which borders the countries of Azerbaijan and Georgia. The climate here is so different than what I think of when I think of Russia. It is hot and dry, and people here speak 13 different official languages besides Russian. Plus, there's a bunch of unofficial languages. And 83% of the people here identify as Muslim, which again, like, I don't think of Muslims in Russia, but this is Russia."

The map highlights Chechnya in red, with its name displayed. The scene transitions to images of Russian soldiers and rebel groups in conflict, including helicopters and bombings. The man on the couch expresses his reluctance to delve into the political complexities and violence of Chechnya, wanting to focus on cultural diversity instead. He gestures to stop the flow of negative imagery.

"It's right next to Chechnya, which is another part of Russia, which is politically and culturally very much doing its own thing. The people here declared independence in the 90s, which caused rebel groups to militarize, and then there was war and terrorist attacks, and people died, and Putin may or may not have planned a bombing to frame Chechnyan terrorists to then go to war with them so he could get approval ratings so he could take over the country, becoming authoritarian. No, no, wait, no, I'm not going down the freaking rabbit hole. I'm doing one of those fun geography videos where we talk about cultural diversity and and like borders and history and not this stuff. Come on. Just this once. Can I just go into a video without having to talk about the fact that some people are really terrible?"

The map highlights Dagestan again, and the scene transitions to various images of Dagestani people in traditional clothing, showcasing their unique fashion culture. Children in headscarves and traditional outfits are shown, as well as men in fur hats and long coats.

"Anyway, so Dagestan down here has all these different languages and people so different than what I think about when I think of Russia. Plus, I mean, look at this fashion culture."

The map highlights the Komi Republic in green, with the Ural Mountains forming its eastern border. The scene transitions to aerial views of lush forests, wide rivers, and an archway in a field, showcasing Komi's natural beauty. Historical black and white photos of Gulag camps and prisoners are shown, contrasting with the natural beauty. The scene then shifts to snow-covered rock formations, with a person hiking and another ice climbing, defying local legends.

"Okay, so there's a republic here right on these mountains, these mountains that we talked about that were sort of a good natural border but had a big hole in them. The Ural Mountains. This is the Komi Republic. The main thing about this republic is, it doesn't look like the sort of ice-swept Moscow streets that I'm used to of Russia. This place is known for its natural beauty. Beautiful landscapes. And where the Gulags were, the brutal Russian prisons during the Soviet times, where they would do terrible things. Anyway, there's these beautiful rock formations that are super unique, and people aren't supposed to climb on them because there's some legend and it's bad luck, but of course, foreigners show up and do stupid things, and they couldn't resist, and here they are. Anyway, this is Russia."

"Okay, a couple more. You have this Republic of Kalmykia. You just need to look at this place and its people to know that this feels very different than what you think of as Russia. And yet, this is Russia. Mother Russia has been sort of brutal to these people over the years, trying to erase their culture, but even still, they persist."

A news anchor then speaks in a Turkic language.

"Last one I want to talk about is called Tuva. It's down here. Here's Putin visiting Tuva a while back. This is another place where Russian ethnicity and language is a minority. The people here are more related to the Mongols, and they speak a Turkic language called Tuvan, which sounds like this."

The video displays a montage of diverse Russian landscapes and cultural scenes, including Moscow's cityscape, traditional dancers, children on horseback, and snowy rock formations. The map of Russia with its colored territories reappears, emphasizing the country's vastness and cultural mosaic. The man on the couch summarizes the video's main points, inviting viewers to share their knowledge about Russia's diverse regions. He mentions his fascination with Russia stemming from a previous video about Navalny, and expresses a desire to visit, but also a concern about potential repercussions.

"So yeah, the upshot here is that this is Russia, but so is this, and this, and this, and this. Russia got really big as they were searching for a border and for fur. And they just kept expanding their empire, enveloping all of the people and cultures that came with it. Okay, let me just be clear about something. Russia is giant. This video is not 15 hours long. And so, I was able to give a very brief overview of the history. The history is so much more mind-bendingly complicated. It's like Game of Thrones on steroids. Not to mention, today's Russia is also so much more diverse, like a mosaic of cultures and languages that I was able to give a little overview for. But I know that a lot of you watching are thinking, why isn't he mentioning fill in the blank? I want to hear from you, like what are the parts of Russia that you know about that I didn't mention here? That are the most interesting or the most surprising that are more different from the Russia that we sort of think of. Let me know in the comments. I got I got fascinated with Russia as we did the Navalny video a while back, and I'm now becoming deeper and deeper into this place and where it came from and what it looks like today. I've never visited, and I want to, so maybe I can't though because I did that Navalny video, and they'll be angry at me if I go there. Anyway, I hadn't thought about that."
