Russian is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, but it was not always universally spoken in Russia itself. Only 200 years ago, the entire nobility of the Russian Empire spoke only French! And this fashion lasted almost 100 years. Let us examine where this trend came from, why it lasted so long, and what it has to do with Peter the Great's desire to marry off his daughter. • Special thanks to my Patrons: • Giovanni Zayas; Kirill Klimuk; Simon Böse; Steak221; Steven; Yelizaveta Zakharova; Adam Stakhanov; Bálint Hegyi; Devon Hodgson; Joseph; Max; Michael Cottow; Mike Pearce; Ravenghast; Sarah McMaster; Triskelia; Petar Kerelov; Yuval Carmon. • If you'd like to support the channel: • 💵 Patreon (early access to videos) - / setarko • 🪙 BTC - bc1qh8szz62crxu9ylg2jx9dz3t6vzzjdw2rheft2m • 🪙 ETH - 0x19F11A86adf1ec4DDebEC0f27982805B1d1aba67 • 🪙 USDT (TRC20) - TYG76yndvrDD8WM9TtkBGauT7682esKZfu • 🪙 Other crypto - https://nowpayments.io/donation/setarko • Links: • Discord - / discord • Twitter - / setarkoyt • Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life. • • Free Stock Footage provided by Videvo.net and Videezy.com.
