For the average Ukrainian, knowledge of their own history begins with the period of Rus. Most people know the main stages of this period and the names of the most famous princes - Vladimir, Yaroslav. But what happened before Rus? After all, for centuries before the emergence of the Rus state, various peoples and tribes lived on our lands. What do we know about them: did they have their own state, their own traditions, who were the ancestors of modern Ukrainians in reality, and was there, as Russian propaganda claims, some kind of triune people of Ukrainians, Russians, and Belarusians? The answers to these questions are in the new episode of "Real History" with Akim Galimov "What Happened Before Rus".

00:00 - Introduction
01:07 - The myth of the common cradle of three brotherly peoples
16:27 - Did Ukrainians try to create a state before Rus?
20:06 - Nomadic peoples and their state formations

In the project "Real History" Akim Galimov creates videos on important historical topics that Russia speculates on. We want you to know the truth about the agreements signed by Khmelnytsky with Russia. About how Russia annexed and artificially imposed Russian policy on Ukrainian territories. About the ruthlessness of the punitive system of the Russian Empire and the USSR. What connects Ukraine and Crimea. You need to hear the truth so that you never again succumb to the Kremlin's manipulations. In addition, it's time to tell Ukrainians the true stories of its heroes. Bandera, Chornovil, Plahotniuc – these and other people gave their lives for an independent, free Ukraine.
