Vuk VuksanovićGUEST
In the mid-19th century, a whole set of revolutionaries combating not just against the Ottoman Empire, but also against the Habsburg Empire, as well as the Russian Empire, were conspiring and coordinating with Serbia.
Vuk VuksanovićGUEST

Vuk VuksanovićGUEST
They were frequently weary.
Vuk VuksanovićGUEST
If we allow the independence of the Serbs and other Balkan nations, will that also involve a stronger Russian presence in the Balkans to fill in the vacuum? The Russians at the same time were frequently aiding South Slavic nations in their struggles against the Ottomans, but at the same time, they were also frequently treating them as a bargaining chip.
Patrick McAfeeNARRATOR
In the course of this mission they attended the historic Rome Congress of the oppressed Habsburg nationalities, and they took a prominent part in the establishment of the Inter-Allied Commission, which waged propaganda warfare against Austria-Hungary.
Patrick McAfeeNARRATOR
The subsequent conduct of this campaign necessitated keeping in close touch with the different national organizations of the oppressed Habsburg races, Poles, Czechoslovaks, Southern Slavs, Rumains, throughout 1918, and they were able to render signal services to these peoples as well as to the Allies.

So it is certain that the anthropological type of the Ukrainians differs essentially from the Russian and Polish types.
Luke HamiltonNARRATOR
This difference, as early as in the 80s of the last century, drew the attention of the famous geographer Recluse, who noticed a closer kinship of the Ukrainians with the Southern Slavs.
Luke HamiltonNARRATOR
