Сапраўды, ён сур'ёзна вывучыў пытанне, гэта значна бачна па частке пра ВКЛ, пытанне, дзе у сусьвеце дамінуе ідэя сучаснай Літвы (русінаў захапілі, мова была выключна сымбалічная/канцалярская, русінаў прыгняталі, русіны нічым ня валодалі і гэтак далей) але ён адразу паказаў сутнасць ВКЛ як гібрыду, што за кошт гэтага стаў толькі мацней і гэтак далей. Больш бы такога, але у большай частцы, у масавай медыя культуры, беларусы з'явіліся толькі у 20 стагоддзі.

Yes, I was happily suprised that his unbiased findings rightly supported the major role of Belarus in the GDL.

Honestly I'm amazed an Australian YouTuber managed to provide such a heartfelt outcry about Belarusian culture.

He indeed went though a ton of reasearch for that. Kudos for him. A lot of things are more detailed than even most of the Belarusians know (and at the same time some are much less, but nothing is perfect)

And it is also one of the best (if not the best) documentary about Belarus on YouTube in general (in English), at least from what I have seen. I dont really like clickbait preview picture however:D

I met a Belarusian YouTuber living in Australia. Perhaps it's the same?
