ASMR - History of Saint Petersburg, part 1

Hi guys, I intended to present the history of Saint Petersburg in a single video, but I made so many digressions about the history of Russia before the reign of Peter the Great that it will take a second one. In this first part, I comment on the emergence of the Duchy of Muscovy and its transformation into Russia, its wars with its neighbors and in particular with Sweden, and the very first years of Saint Petersburg. Part 2 will cover the eventful history of the city until today, its transformation over time, and its cultural significance. I hope you will find it interesting, and as usual your comments are welcome.

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
