😨Король ШВЕЦІЇ шукав свою історію на ХЕРСОНЩИНІ! 200 років пройшло, а МИ - ЗБЕРЕГЛИ!

Imagine: southern Ukraine, Kherson region, an ordinary village at first glance, Zmiivka. But it was here in 2008 that King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden came to hear something that had almost disappeared in his homeland - the Old Swedish language, preserved by the descendants of colonists in the steppes of Ukraine. But the story of Zmiivka is not only about the Swedes. It is also about deportations, Soviet terror, the insidious methods of the NKVD, the forced resettlement of the Boykos, the struggle to preserve traditions and memory. This is the story of how the destinies of different peoples intertwined in one village, which empires tried to break, resettle, and erase. 00:19 - Visit of the King of Sweden to Ukraine 02:02 - How the Swedes ended up in the steppes of Ukraine 03:15 - Letters dictated by the NKVD 05:19 - Hunger, repression and the trials of war 07:28 - Deportation of Boykos to the Kherson region in 1951 10:05 - First impressions of the displaced 13:02 - Revival of churches and coexistence of different communities in Zmiivka 15:41 - Kherson region after the annexation of Crimea 16:49 - How a pro-Russian scenario was prepared in the region 17:46 - Village self-defense Become a sponsor of this channel and get a badge!    / @ukrainian.history   #history #war
