  25. Im Greek. I wanted to do a comparison of prices between your supermarkets (a country in war and under sanctions) with mine (a country in the Eurozone and a member of the different versions of EU since 1980). I understand that your supermarket was a rather posh one, so I will compare with one of our normal local chains, not discount supermarkets like Lidl etc. I wish you could be more detailed in your shopping list at the end, referencing weights and possibly the status of each brand in the market (cheap, regular, expensive, crazy expensive). I tried to do my best to match your list, where it was not possible i noted the alternative product or quantity available here. Ι used regular brands not private label ones. Fresh Milk 1lt = 1.71 eggs (six regular) = 1.86 Lentils 500gr = 1,63 (Backwheat is kinda exotic here so I replaced it with something as common in the Greek market. FYI 500gr of Backwheat is 2.46) Minced chicken 1k =6.90 Cheese (feta) 450gr= 6.00 Coca Cola 1.5lt= 1.77 Yogurt (3x cups of 200gr)= 3,72 Butter 250gr= 3,18 Tomatoes 1k= 1,60 cucumbers 1k= 0,64 Apples 1k = 2.00 Potatoes 1k = 0,88 Bread (one loaf)= 1.20 Chocolate bar 100gr = 1,58 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up to this point we are at 34,67 euros. Lets add your fancy smansy ice cream and pelmeni -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ice Cream 650gr = 13,34 Ravioli 250 gr = 4,55 (Pelmeni do not exist in Greece and Im quite sure that your packs are much much bigger, so I replaced them with ravioli) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grand total = 52,56 euros Im curious to see the total in other EU countries.

  167. Вы первый блогер, у которого я вижу такую степень непредвзятости. Есть мнение, или скорее концепция, что любой журналист так или иначе является пропагандистом по крайней мере своего мнения, какой контент он бы не публиковал. Но из всего ютуба, у вас этот момент, пожалуй, наиболее сведен к минимуму. Исходя из роликов, конечно, легко узнать какого мнения вы придерживаетесь, касаемо всего, что происходит, но вы никому никакую позицию стараетесь не внедрять. Лучший формат журналистики, как я думаю, подобен художественному произведению. Никто никого ничему не учит. Нам показывают историю, в которой есть вопрос. И он не задан под определённым углом, нацеленном на нужные выводы. Он просто есть, потому что так живут люди. Чем ближе журналистика к такому формату, тем ближе мир к осознанному и более менее объективному взгляду на мир и на людей, что в нем живут. Спасибо за ваш труд.

  178. Выражаю слова поддежки от всей глубины души участникам данного видео и слова благодарности Real Reporter за то, что осветил эту важную проблему. Также хочу добавить, что наша медицина совсем не безнадежна и она потихоньку адаптируется к тем вызовам, с которыми ей пришлось столкнуться. У меня бабушка тоже болеет сахарным диабетом и раньше пользовалась инсулином Лантус французского производства и немецким глюкометром Акку чек. Сейчас она использует все тотже Лантус, но уже российского производства и, соответственно, российский глюкометр Сателлит. Разницы вообще никакой. Сахар стабильно держится на одном уровне. Разница в показаниях глюкометров минимальна: две-три десятых, что не критично. Иностанную медтехнику и редкие препараты для лечения онкологических заболеваний, конечно, заместить будет гораздо труднее и на это уйдет не один год, но знаю, что и в этом направлении работа ведется (яркие тому примеы - российский томограф RTI FullScan и аппарат ИВЛ от холдинга Швабе). Поэтому желаю всем пациентам с тяжелыми заболеваниями найти способы доставки иностранных препаратов, а нашей медицине успехов на этом длинном и тернистом пути по достижению медицинского суверенитета страны. Дорогу осилит идущий!!!

  244. Божечки, моя любимая Воркута, обожаю этот город❤А мальчишкам надо вместо подушек санки взять, мы тоже в детстве катались на санках по дорогам и нас за шкирку вылавливали взрослые, чтобы под машину не попали. На санках можно маневрировать и тормозить руками. Но среди детей всегда было такое соревнование и нас ничто не останавливало. Я в шоке, что эта традиция сохранилась до сих пор))) Воркута это про людей, там самая главная ценность это ЛЮДИ! Если бы город продолжали развивать я бы туда вернулась, очень скучаю по моему родному городу! Там своя атмосфера и своя необыкновенная красота и за два дня этим не проникнуться. А ещё там есть пиццерия Гелиос, там специально приглашали поваров из Италии и построили специальную печь именно для пиццы, жаль что вы ее не попробовали, она просто восхитительная, я в центральной России такого не нашла. И кстати, на заброшенных поселках сейчас часто квест-игры проводят)))

  745. Wow, this was great Kostya! Very nice vid. I've been wondering about the cocky lawyer and how he's doing for quite some time - since your last vid and since the short you showed (with his cat running back in his shelter). He seemed a little bit less cocky now, but well, war will do that to a man, I guess. Still, his spirit seems far from broken. You really have a knack for this, Kostya: the pacing was good, the background music not too intrusive and fitting the mood. You asked some pertinent and interesting questions, which deals with the intellectual curiosity we have about him, his views, and the state of the war. But I'm also glad to see you didn't forget the "human touch", some emotional investment, in it. As I said earlier, it's those moments that grip people the most, after all, and your scene with him dancing with his girlfriend/wife on the empty plaza at night with the musician... really touching. Well done, Kostya. While the main Western media is demonizing Russian soldiers (and no doubt Ukrainian soldiers in Russian media), it's important to show we're all human, with all the same longings and wishes and dreams, whatever side of the fence you're on. I was really looking forward to this one, and I didn't get disappointment, and seen it's been a while, I think it's time for another coffee. ;-) Don't know how close you actually are with the cocky lawyer, but I hope you'll keep in touch with each other, even after the war has ended! And let's have a drink on the war ending soon in a peaceful way! Cheers!

  770. Hahaha! Kostya, Kostya, Kostya... my man. A mere two months ago, you were telling me "Hey there, thanks for keeping an eye out for us – no Siberian detours yet! Haha We're still roaming free and sipping coffee on this side. So far, so good. :)" And now your voyage almost ended in the Siberian Gulags! So much for your free roaming! ;-) Well, j/k of course. But still I kinda understand where they're coming from; there have been covert operations by Ukrainian special forces with drones, there have been terrorist attacks in Moscow - did you ever make a vid or short about that, in fact? - and one could just as easily be spying and conveying drone footage to the spaghetti-eating enemies abroad, if not by the internet, then with the harddisk hidden under a pizza! It's funny how I said: make sure you don't end up in the Gulags! (after your vid about "What do you think of Putin?"), and now that media-woman also made the same joke in a way. 😛 That said, Arctic Ghost towns are the best. Even if there are no real ghosts there, they're the closest to seem to have ghosts! 🙂 Anyway, keep safe and out of the police's hands, and keep up the good work! Edit: oh yeah, both the atmosphere/vibe and "human touch" were, again, spot on! The kid with the accident at the exact time you were there.... what are the chances? Yet, it immediately gives it a human touch, and it's pretty wholesome you walked him home and even checked upon him later. Well done! You know, part of this vid gave the same vibes as the documentaries I saw about Chernobyl, where everything is deserted, but still in the state it was during the 80ies, in Soviet Russia style. It gives it both an eerie and a nostalgic mood, don't you think? It's like a place where time was frozen and only echos of the past remain. The deserted places you visited here gave a bit the same vibe - though the main city there still looked vibrant enough. Don't know... If Russia wants to keep these towns alive, there is only one way for it: give some job-opportunities in or around that city. If there is work, people will stay, and if there's more than enough work that pays decently, it will even gain population. If there's no work, then whatever one does as an embellishment of the town to attract people to stay, it won't work. Literally and figuratively.

  781. First of all, I would like to say a big thank you to the author of the channel and the team! The film turned out to be very family-friendly, warm and lamp-like (a good family film in the best sense of the word)! The axe in Joshua's hands when discussing the topic of LGBT is an epic moment (the author of the idea is to give out an Oscar, Ha ha)!))) And secondly, I would like to say a big thank you to the entire Australian family for their sincerity, honesty and adherence to their Truth and their Ideals! They are the embodiment of a real family, where I see the Head of the family, his loving wife and wonderful children! They make a very pleasant impression in every sense! The episode where John talks about his son's service in the Russian Army is a very powerful moment, very! It is precisely such emigrants that I am glad to see in our country - people who have come to share my values and ideals, and together with me to make OUR country even better! So yes, I say - Welcome OUR people!)) Прежде всего, я хотел бы сказать большое спасибо автору канала и команде! Фильм получился очень семейным, теплым и ламповым (хороший семейный фильм в лучшем смысле этого слова)! Топор в руках Джошуа при обсуждении темы ЛГБТ - это эпический момент (автор идеи - вручать "Оскар", ха-ха)!))) А во-вторых, я хотел бы сказать большое спасибо всей австралийской семье за их искренность, честность и приверженность своей Правде и своим идеалам! Они являются воплощением настоящей семьи, где я вижу главу семейства, его любящую жену и замечательных детей! Они производят очень приятное впечатление во всех смыслах! Эпизод, где Джон рассказывает о службе своего сына в Российской армии, - очень сильный момент, очень! Именно таких эмигрантов я рад видеть в нашей стране - людей, которые приехали, чтобы разделить мои ценности и идеалы и вместе со мной сделать НАШУ страну еще лучше! Так что да, я говорю - приветствуйте НАШИХ людей!))

  845. Жаль, что ты не знал,не видел Химмаш до 90-х годов. При въезде висел огромный плакат: Соцгородок высокой культуры. И это была правда! Он был чистый- пречистый, весь в зелени! Тополя, кусты акаций высажены были вдоль улиц стройными рядами; кусты сирени, розового шиповника и везде цветы! Везде! На площадях, в скверах, вдоль аллей и тротуарах, которые тогда были широкими и просторными. Бархатцы, настурция, огромные махровые виолы(у детской библиотеки), медуница,...разные- разные прекрасные! Все(!) дворы (без исключения!) были в цветах, кустах сирени, рябины. А с внешней стороны домов,повсеместно, рос боярышник и кусты с "волчьими" ягодами. А центральная аллея была зелёным тополиным шатром. Это был рай! Долго можно было бы описывать и говорить о парке "Культуры и отдыха", который дальше уходил в сосновый лес, поэтому не буду. Химмаш был лесной сказкой, которую,к сожалению, ты не видел. В 90-е годы это не был криминальный район, в силу небольших размеров и того, что, действительно, все друг-друга знали- просто распоясались хулиганы(такие есть везде). P. S. Я заметила, ❤️ , за одним исключением, не ставишь химмашевцам- им ты просто что-то отвечаешь. Дискриминейшен? Я понимаю, снималось для других- не сужу, но зарубочку сделала. Ты что-то потерял в душе, уехав из России. Я это чувствую. А может не смог впитать и сохранить, в силу возраста? Жаль...

  866. Thank you. As an American w/ fairly close ancestry to Ukraine & Poland (maternal grandparents), I have been sickened by the anti-Russian rhetoric by the west media, basically dehumanizing all Russians who have no real say (or even knowledge of day to day geopolitics) on these matters. It feels like there is something more going on and the everyday people of both countries are made to pay the price. I don’t know how I feel about Putin, he was KGB & rose through the ranks (he is no fool, he also clearly knows how to survive & thrive w/in a very suspicious & dangerous organization.. again, showing he is no fool & can strategically plan several steps ahead); he seems to be running Russia well, truly wanting to keep the traditions and culture, he seems to understand the importance of family & having children, & hasn’t allowed massive forces to invade Russia w/ its woke & anti-family ideology; however, he is also brutal against any threat to his seat of power, such as Alexei Navalny.. However, I do understand Putin hardline regarding NATO. This hardline in the sand is NOT new nor unreasonable. Putin has made it clear since the beginning-> any nation wouldn’t want a powerful military alliance on their border; if Russia (as an individual country) sought partnership w/ Mexico/ Canada/ or ‘Cuba’ to be allowed to place a small military base w/in, America would immediately call it an act of provocation (if not war), & would not tolerate it. There was no need for the west to give the message that NATO was genuinely considering Ukraine membership. There were many other options that could respect Russian sovereignty while growing trade friendships w/ Ukraine (it has also been stated that Ukraine’s massive corruption problems has been a major factor in not having stronger relationships with the West…. Corruption factors that Biden & his son along w/ John Kerry & others in that sphere, have personally greatly monetized their personal net worth 🤔🤫🤔). Building a friendship w/ Russia seems like the wiser choice. Pushing Russia into the arms of China seems like the absolute worse strategy. This entire confrontation could’ve been easily prevented, yet appeared to be intentionally created. If the true motivation for sanctions was to financially harm Russia, then flooding the market with oil would’ve been the wiser choice-> yet Biden did the exact opposite. Heck, he also pushed Russia off the US backed petro dollar, which harms 🇺🇸 far more than Russia. I’ve rambled enough.. there just seems to be more going on; an agenda that still resides somewhat in the shadows.

  897.  @RealReporter  Извините, что опять выкапываю эту тему. Мне вспомнилось наше обсуждение, когда я читал информацию по принципу "аффекта" и обдумывал личное поведение в подобных ситуациях. Как я теперь понимаю, подход к подобному сбору мнений, полностью зависит от приследуемых вами целей. Следовательно, с моей стороны было некорректно пытаться навязывать вам другие методы, дающие другие результаты. Когда степень успешности работы и интереса к ней, оценивается количеством просмотров - совершенно справедливо и логично получать материал именно подобным образом. Вероятность получения неожиданного и интересного мнения намного выше. В широком смысле, повторяются процессы развития печатных изданий, где изначально задачи информирования целевой аудитории, со временем были заменены успокаивающе - развлекательными. Так как в реальности, большинство людей в конечном счёте, хочет подтверждения своей существующей точки зрения и эпотажных, но не значимых скандалов. Слушать как адекватные люди говорят рациональные вещи, да к тому же противоречащие их мнению в и так ограниченное свободное время - это как добровольно после работы учиться на заочном отделении, причём никаких дипломов и сертификатов за это не дадут. Так что прошу прощения за то, что навязывал вам свою точку зрения. Хотел лишь упомянуть, что судя по успеху Joe Rogan и подобных людей, запрос в обществе на объективную а не развлекательную журналистику, вероятно сильно недооценен.

  1049. I think what we're seeing right now is the rendering of the professional army as obsolete or damn near. A professional and sharp officer corps is what is needed to win battles now and a lot less so high end equipment. We are seeing conscript soldiers being made to work for both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war. They've done this with drones, fortifications, excellent defensive tactics and strategies. Both sides started with professional, first class armies and now Ukraine is scraping the bottom of the barrel and Russia is going through volunteers and second rate soldiers too. We saw this with the Ukrainian offensive and now we see it with the Russian Avdiivka offensive. Although I think the Russian offensive will be more successful, it is because they have limited, realistic goals, but we aren't seeing a need for a 3:1 attacker advantage anymore, we are seeing a need for much higher now or alternative means of smaller scale, squad, semi platoon and platoon actions being most successful. While I believe armor still has a place on the battlefield, it's use on mass has to be well concealed and operations for use of large scale armor should be limited to initial breaching operations and then a planned entrenchment or continuation of the operation with using mostly infantry as anything more with large amounts of armored vehicles will just be a waste, until changes are made to compensate for modern munitions and anti armor tactics. Concerning Israel and their effect on the Ukraine war, the emphasis is going to shift to Israel. That's just a given, it's already happening, they've been a heavily backed western state since their conception and I unfortunately don't see that changing anytime soon and depending on how ground operations in Gaza go, if Lebanon gets involved in the conflict as well, if the surrounding Arab states turn sour and cut their progressive relations with Israel, all of these things will contribute to Israeli stress and the need for more American financial and military aid as the country cannot and could never sustain itself under its own power. Of course there is also the potential for a third serious problem either in Africa or Asia where American intervention will be needed as well, like say, Taiwan. If all of these things go on at once, it'll spell disaster for American foreign policy and for all western back countries involved. America supports EVERYONE and if they can't support the west and NATO, then the balance of power will shift. I sincerely do hope this to happen for America's sake as American military intervention has been an absolute disaster for any country involved, the Americans have in the past done very well politically, so hopefully this will mean a few decades where America chooses to use words over bullets

  1058. This was a very interesting video, especially since Im Greek Orthodox. From the little I read on the subject, the Russians took Orthodoxy to 11, inventing more and more austere rules to the point of verging on heresy. So the Patriarch of Constantinople had to call the Russian church to get back in line. For example crossing yourself with two fingers was never a thing in the original church and its something reserved only for the iconography as a gesture of blessing by a saint or Christ. Speaking about Jesus btw, in Greek its IHΣΟΥΣ (in the middle ages it would be written as ΙΗCOYC) so again the ''old believers'' are quite neoteristic by shortening the name by one letter. I suppose that their custom of eating raw fish can be related to the IXΘΥΣ (fish) acronym (IHΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΘΕΟΥ ΥΙΟΣ ΣΩΤΗΡ =Jesus Christ God's Son Saviour). This phrase was related to the persecuted christians who used it as a code, many times just drawing a very simple shape of fish. I guess they see themselves as persecuted but maybe miss what the acronym really means? Im using capital Greek letters cause they are easier for non Greeks to understand them btw. Im really interested to know how the Soviet state interacted with these self exiled people. Were they left alone, or was there an effort to ''civilize'' them?I would also like to know whats their relation to the modern Russian state. They seem to live completely autonomous, without expecting from the state to provide any kind of infrastructure. Does that make them living outside the traditional social contract between a state and its citizens? Do they still have all the obligations of a ''normal'' Russian citizen?

  1184. Nice seeing you take up the pace and frequency of your vids, Kostya! As of yet, it seems to pay off quite well! Truth be told, in the west here, we've got plenty of inflation as well. It's come down a bit, but at some point used to be 8%. Not sure about the average of the last 2-3 years, with the gas-prices rising (even when my country wasn't directly buying much from Russia, energy prices still went up). Maybe around 4-5%? that's still the double of what it used to be. 30-35% is way higher, though, so I guess Russia DOES suffer more from inflation. As you said, that's understandable if it's imports, especially for goods that are brought inside Russia through other countries (sanction-evasion systems). But if it's homemade, it's difficult to account for. If Putin says it's because of higher wages, doesn't this make it a chicken or the egg problem? (Ba-dum; pun intended! ;-) ). I'm glad you made another "economic detective" vid; been a while. I thought maybe you would drop this theme, because the last time you made one of the economy of Russia wasn't the best in the effort vs reward department, as you told, I believe. But I think it's good to differentiate a bit. BTW, I heard the workforce-shortage (cause of your 2,8% unemployment) was alleviated a bit by the fact that many of the hundredthousands that fled Russia to escape the draft are now returning. Is this true? Estimates are about 60% returned, and it's still ongoing, so maybe it'll reach 80-90%. That would mean, that about 400-500000 of mostly young males, came back. That should have helped a little, at least - if any of this is true. Maybe it could be grounds for another vid. ;-) As for other "sanctions/economic" vids, you still have the Chinese cars and the Russian aviation theme you can explore further, as said prior. So still enough subjects to explore! 🙂

  1379. To me, it's up to the people if they want to support a store/brand or not. I'm not pissed either way about companies either staying or leaving. What is frustrating is the hypocrisy and the typical Capitalist way. Say one thing, while doing the morally reprehensible thing at the same time. However, it's such a morally grey area that it's hard for me to judge any of it. One family losing the ability to support themselves and dying from lack of medication/food/water/shelter, whatever it may be... That's quite reprehensible. It's none of these company's faults that Russia decided to start a war with a neighbouring nation. It's also not the fault of the people of Russia. I feel bad for the people in both countries. Nothing is pleasant about the situation and I just hope we don't demonize the innocent civilians like we did for two decades with Middle Eastern and Muslim peoples. Russian and Ukrainian citizens have nothing to do with this. Neither do the companies. Boycott whatever brands based on your personal beliefs, but please, people, don't become prejudiced towards people over something they have no control over. People's actions need to speak for themselves. Judge people by their individual merits. This is coming from a highly concerned Canadian who just wishes all of this to end. I know it's not that simple, but I really wish it was. I also already don't buy any of this materialistic shit and unnecessary garbage food; so don't come at me like I'm some Russian sympathizer. I empathize with the people who have nothing to do with any of this as a human being. I don't give a shit where you're from, it's not right to punish people for actions they haven't themselves taken part in. P.S. You did a great job in this video. This was extremely informative and interesting to watch. You've got a great presence in front of the camera and I'm glad I managed to find your channel because of it. The more legitimate news we can have in this world, the better we will all be for it. Sensationalism needs to die a quick death.

  1506. Greetings from Montreal. You know, men wage war, and never suffer the consequences for their decisions. And I don't think the plight of everyday citizens weigh on them, as part of those consequences. I'm sad for people who suffer needlessly because of one man's decisions and those who support him in those decisions. I take life saving drugs myself for a long time now. Diabetes drugs are just some of them, so I know what it must feel like not to be able to know you will have those drugs in the long term. I am saddened by war, and those who suffer indirectly because of it. You are not alone. Know you are in my thoughts from Canada. Привет из Монреаля. Вы знаете, мужчины ведут войну и никогда не страдают от последствий своих решений. И я не думаю, что бедственное положение обычных граждан влияет на них как часть этих последствий. Мне грустно за людей, которые напрасно страдают из-за решений одного человека и тех, кто поддерживает его в этих решениях. Я сама принимаю спасительные препараты уже давно. Лекарства от диабета — это лишь некоторые из них, поэтому я знаю, каково это, когда ты не знаешь, что будешь принимать эти лекарства в долгосрочной перспективе. Я опечален войной и теми, кто косвенно от нее страдает. Вы не одиноки. Знай, ты в моих мыслях из Канады.

  1662.  @RealReporter  Ok, Kostya, I'm gonna try one more time... because my posts always seem to get deleted by YT algorithm, and I don't know why. this is what I said, about a week ago already: Bit later than expected, but here I go! The concept/angle you use in your vid comes as a surprise. I mean, I knew it was going to be about the financial aspect, but you brought it much more back to earth than I imagined. Like... even go as far as "smuggling" some money back and forth, and showing this. Hope you don't get in any trouble for that. :-p The vid was interesting on a cerebral level, as most of your "economic" vids are (I imagine this will go into your playlist of "life in Russia after the sanctions?). I like the formula, here. A little bit of history, a little bit of the "grand scheme of things" which handles the broader aspects and insights, and a little bit of down-to-earth "I'll show you a concrete example how to deal with it". This gives it a fairly broad appeal, because it gives several different multilayered aspects on how to look at the same issue. I hope you'll use the same formula with your tank-based vid. 3:14 Now, now, Kostya! Are you still going on about that? It's almost like it was a trauma... Nah, I can't imagine you really feeling THAT depressed about it! I'm a fairly good judge of character, and you seem to me like a person whom bounces back really quickly! ;-) Besides, as I told you, that Vorkuta vid isn't doing THAT bad. It has 191 K views; not that shabby at all! (I'll say more about that per email, when I got some time). 3:55 You're very welcome! And yes, as said, it's sometimes difficult to know why some vids score much better than others, for no apparent reason. It does not necessarily has to do with the quality of the vid. But overall, you're doing not bad. Even the Dan one has 140K by now. no betterhelp needed! I'll provide that service for free! :-) I also note you brought back the cameo of the Russian Jean Claude Vandamme. I must say... I mean, he looks cool and all, but also a bit...shifty? Shady? He could play in any movie as a gangsta boss, if he puts on a pair of sunglasses... But really... walking around with some dodgy bag full of hard cash... that looks darn dubious. (But it's good for extra attention to your vid, though!) Didn't know nor imagine it was THAT hard to change your money in Russia, or that EU money could get confiscated (by the EU, not Russia, if I understand correctly?) That was real interesting. You see, Kostya, that's what makes these kind of vids so compelling; it gives us a totally new look on how things really are in Russia. It's like: where can you actually see this stuff otherwise, as a Westerner? You hardly find anything about that, not even on YT. It's really a great niche you have found there, Kostya. hope this vid does well. Don't know how this will help the EU, though. Since direct flights aren't possible, wouldn't anyone go first to Turkey or some other third country, and THEN enter Russia? and wouldn't you then be able to bring Euro's or dollars with you without any problem? So I don't get this policy at all. What is the point of it, if it's de facto not really doing anything? Also... why, exactly, does the money need to be in SUCH a completely mint and perfect state? That wasn't entirely clear to me neither. I mean, you say it's because Russia doesn't want to stockpile it because it can't use it... but... the Euro, and certainly the Dollar, is a world currency; surely they can always use it, if they buy something abroad ? Anway, nice seeing another vid of you! BTW, planning to do something more about the BRICS summit as well - maybe a short vid one? Or are you already busy with a longer one about something else?

  1690. Woohoo! the vid I was waiting on! Further comments after I watched it! ;-) Edit: ok, watched it. It was again a fun and interesting vid, and your editing really is on pro-level, I would say: even regulr TV networks wouldn't be able to offer much better. One thing I'm a bit confused though, is you calling the airplane "MS". I always figured it was MC, with the C pronounced as...well, C. (Sounding like "see"). Is it a Russian letter, mayhaps, or why is the "C" pronounced as "S"? 13:57 Nono, you can't fool us! It's because you are a spy/ Russian propagandist paid by the Kremlin. Or was it the Orthodox Church? Whatever; you're what the fat American will say you are! (cue, next vid of him "analyzing" once again your "soft propaganda"). ;-) One thing I do find slightly disappointing however, is that you were pretty limited in your research, or should I say "examples" of airplanes and aviation-capabilities of Russia. I sort of expected you to shed more of a light on the whole Russian aviation and it's progress (or lack thereof); how it is doing, what airplanes they try to build or muster to keep going, etc. There are a lot of aviation projects and airplanes being build or planned or refitted, and not only the MC-21. But sadly, you didn't touch on any of them. I mean, I understand of course that you focus on that one, since you gained access after months of trying - so of course, you'd want to show this feat. But still, it wouldn't have hurt if you mentioned some others airplanes and attempts of Russia to remain self-sufficient in the aero-space domain, even if only in passing. Ah well, maybe next time. Also; is there no possibility for Russia to buy Chinese components, in the meantime that they develop everything on their own soil? What is the most realistic timetable for the MC-21 to go into serial production, if they have to build all the parts themselves? Can other planes be brought "online" faster than the MC-21? There are still a lot of questions I'm left with, and I could easily have watched another hour of it without getting bored. ;-) Well, anyway, I hope this vid does well too, and one coffee coming up! I see I'm being mentioned at 7:39! (Indirectly, as a "non-patreon supporter" :-p )

  2105. Nice one, Kostya! I was just going to contact you to see how things were going (since it took a while for your next vid), or you published one. I didn't see this coming (I thought the tanks would be the next ;-), but as soon as I saw it at the start, I was thinking: oho, Kostya is making a "Caspian seamonster" style vid! And lo and behold, a bit later you made a reference to it in your vid yourself! Yes, this is definitely in the same genre/class of vids, and with a bit of luck, it will be a success as well. These technical-military special projects usually have a big appeal to a male audience. Of course, as we've discussed before: you're never actually sure what is going to become a hit and what not. It's DOES seem to start a bit slow, or am I wrong? Maybe I'm comparing to much with the Abrams one. did your ekranoplane-vid also started slow and then gathered millions of views along the way, or did it fly of the charts the moment you published it? What does your history analytics say? I do think that some of your vids that drew less attention than you hoped, will slowly accumulate and keep accumulating views, while other might take off right away, but viewcount will drop faster once the point of contemporary interest (hype) gets less. I'm wondering if you see that corroborated in your analytics? Also: was that boy ACTUALLY you from some old footage, or did you pick up some nephew or something? ;-) And about the V-12: couldn't they have maintained and use it for very heavy workloads? Like, say, the UMR modules of the Angara rocket? I mean, look at the Antonov An-225 (before it got destroyed): sure it was too unwieldy and costly to use for regular freight, but there WAS a niche market for very heavy payloads, which only that airplane could carry. Wouldn't it have been possible for the V-12 to do the same? Nice that that old engineer made a museum out of it, at least. Hopefully, your vid will maybe lead to some more visitors to them as well! Your editing was really good, once again, though I would suggest being careful of not using too much or to long of the same standard "special effects" in the transitions between parts of your vid. But maybe that's just me. Still, it was great and interesting vid, Kostya; keep up the good work! (I'm actually feeling a bit isck today, so I'll leave it at that, as comment :-).

  2141.  @RealReporter  Was going to answer yesterday, but it was too late in the evening, so I'll do it now. I'm not too sure what you mean by "format". You mean the format in which it is presented, or the format of the content itself? Because I think you're pretty on the sweet spot with most of your vids here. I don't think you should change too much with the format that has the most success, though... it's always nice to try some alternatives out to see how those pan out (just don't switch it from one to the other completely, because people are animals of habit. And if a new format wouldn't strike any interest, but you've switched completely, it will cost you viewers. So I suggest, if you want to do it, to try out things gradually. And, well, I understand you Kostya. While it's all fun and what not, and in some cases may even be considered a form of art, it's also true that, in the end of the day, if you want to sustain yourself and your channel, you need pecunia. Money is needed, and the job we do must rake in enough, whether we want to acknowledge that or not. So I understand your concerns. To help you, I've been going over your vids and your shorts (I still don't get any message when they're put on, strangely enough) to see how many views each one of them got, to see if there's a "genre" that is most liked. What I noticed is, that... it's very difficult to see a pattern, and the question why something is popular while another isn't, is difficult to answer. You're most popular one, is actually about the "sea-monster" (ekranoplan) - had little to nothing to do with the themes of your later vids. That said, generally speaking, the vids about Western sanctions, and their effect (or lack thereof) are pretty popular as well. The cocky lawyer is pretty popular as well. There's one vid about Wagner that has few hits, which surprised me, until I remembered it was flagged, and you couldn't watch it unless you had an account that said you were an adult and what not. Which make sit clear that, as much as the content is important, the presentation - even the thumbnail and title - is very important (as is not being flagged). But I'm sure you're well aware of that as well. It's the reason why your vid where in the title both "Putin" and "Carlson" was mentioned, was a pretty high hit as well. Content wise... maybe you could go for a re-visit of the "sanctions" theme; you revisited it with the food-stores and shops like MCDonalds and such, but not with cars. So maybe going back how the deal is now with Chinese cars wouldn't be bad. And if you ever buy a new car, be SURE to document/film it as well! ;-) If you want something completely new to try out, maybe try a "street-food" theme like some have done in china; these always seem possible as well. Or at least typical Russian foods, or showing rural life of a babushka and interview her to know her views on the war/world. Or something along those lines... you know, something typical Russian that you can't find anywhere else. This excites us Westerners the most, because it's exotic in a way, AND it gives great opportunity to incorporate the "human touch" into your vids as well. That's also one of the big reasons people get invested, after all. If you're looking for a bit more of an intellectual-economic angle - I noticed some interest with you to do that, seen your deep-dive vid about the economics of Russia, and your short about the Northern Searoute of Russia... what about a deep dive into the Eurasian Canal that has been much spoken about? To link the Caspian Sea with the Black Sea? That seems very interesting as well, and you could do a deep dive into the pro's and cons of the project, and the conditions to be fulfilled to become a reality. Or maybe you could pick a technical-wonder topic again, like your ekranoplan, and, say visit/show a tour of Vostochny Cosmodrome, and who knows, maybe even interview some guys there that can shed a light on the future space-plans of Russia? Or what about the much vaunted new airplanes Russia claimed would replace the Western airplanes? The Il-96-400M, the MC-21 and the Superjet-100, the Tu-204SM, the Ilyushin Il-114-300, etc... Where are all those planes? What happened to them? Ar they actually flying and being used by the Russian populace, or what is holding them back. If Russia wants to be self-sufficient, they need to get things moving in this regard. Aren't the Russian Boeing and Airbus airplanes lacking in parts, nowadays - so how is the Russian aviation coping? As a more general format for your channel... I think I mentioned this before: I feel that there's a need to make shorter but more frequent vids. And I don't mean shorts. I mean regular vids. Because the shorts are cool and all, but are just appetizers at best. I remember you being a bit disappointment a short of you only got 20000 views, but actually, for a short that ain't that bad. But it will (almost) never garner 100+K views, like vids do. You regular (long) vids are usually great, but they take too long and you need to keep the attention of your viewers in the meantime. If made the comparison with the fish,last time, didn't I? That you need some bait to keep the fish around, and then your long vids is what hooks them. ;-) Your "hooking" is pretty alright me thinks, it's just the "throwing bait" that lacks a bit. A weekly vid would do the trick, but I realize you don't have the possibility (as of yet) to do that with your current set-up). Maybe your "news-gathering/commenting would do the trick. Or a weekly short interview with guest of some sort? Something that is easy, and still relatively interesting. IT won't gather the views of your long vids, but it's a cost-benefit thing, since you shouldn't spend too much time on making these neither. And, as said, it's also useful for keeping more people checking out your chan regularly. Well, that was my two cents about it; hoped it helped!

  2153. Holland beginning 2022 car petrol= € 244 a litre/ dec. 2023 € 1,99 a i=litre./ Diesel more expensive / bread at the bakery =€ 2,50 a loaf. Meat: beef, minced meat, sausages, cheeses, porc, chicken very expensive. Sports clubs: expensive ,are not for the poor. Eggs : € 2,60 for 10 eggs. Butter:= € 2, 60 250 gramms.. Lots of products come from East Europe People with a car and enough petrol go to farmers to buy fruit and vegetables. Restaurants very expensive a coffee € 2,60. Milk from Holland 2 X more expensive than milk from Eastern Europe. Marlboro € 9,-- for 20 cigarettes. For older people the situation is worse. Cute country this Holland. but if we are talking about untouched nature with fresh water lakes and many animals, you can better be in Great Russia in the Springtime and summer. For many concerts of all kinds of instruments and young and older musicians you really have to be in Russia - I see them on youtube every week. Public use of drugs or growing cannabis plants is prohibited. Shops where you can buy cannabis are legal (are called coffee shops). The land of the farmers is taken away and sold because more houses have to be built there for refugees with a provisional status: they have no work and get everything for free and have a short waiting time. Even at legalized protests, the police hit quite often and quickly. Hotels and B&Bs expensive ! Fishing fleet almost halved because of the environment. Cute country but no longer a social Paradise here, unfortunately. Most Universities teach in English now, as I said: expensive unless you have rich parents. I met with your famous pianist Alexander Malofeev (21) in Amsterdam Oct. 1st 2022. He now lives in Germany because of travel problems from Russia to the rest of the world. He comes from Moscow and told me he missed Russia and his family very much. Have I given you enough information now? (Netherlands) 1 small wrap with 1 piece of chicken and lettuce + 1 tiny apple pie total costs € 8.50 at Mc. Donald's. 200 grams of beef costs € 4.50 + 21% tax in the cheapest supermarket The "ALDI". Stay in Russia an enjoy you great nature parcs after winter!

  2306. Костя. Первый раз в жизни я не распознал русского по английскому языку- когда смотрел твоё видео о староверах... Я ошибся (подумал, что ты-канадец, или американец), но мне было приятно это осознать. Не хвастаюсь, просто, чтобы ты понял всю приятность моей ошибки... Иранцы меня принимали за иранца, когда я с ними говорил на фарси, индусы меня принимали за англичанина (по английскому языку), канадцы- за американца, а китайцы- почему то за француза (по моему английскому)... Чё к чему?.. Вроде я не гундосил, не картавил... Ну да ладно. Сейчас я "присел" на арабский- и это-кайф... Арабский язык-это кайф. Языки я осваиваю в точности, как и ты, я сразу усёк твой "подход"... Как ты и сам знаешь- это самый верный подход для "простых любопытных". Желаю тебе, Константин, всяческих ништяков в том деле, которое ты делаешь. Всё круто, на очень высоком уровне. Удачи и новых достижений!

  2356. Another great video you made! In your videos you bring up things that are taboo in the West. Here you show a Brit and an Irishman, who clearly say why they live in Russia and why they stay there. I assume that it has become more difficult for some because of the sanctions imposed by the West, but in your videos you also let others speak for whom the sanctions have almost no effect. The fact that Russians are flexible and adapt to every sanction is remarkable. The Brit in the video has lost a lot because of the sanctions, but still refuses to leave Russia, which proves to me once again that Western leaders live in a different world and do not want to change anything about it. How stupid are they really? The conflict in Ukraine goes much further than that, much further than the Russian "annexation" of Crimea in 2014. That is what people in the West do not see. Here in the West, many lies are being spread about Russia, which are spread by the media and which people simply believe, without doing a reality check. I think that is a very dangerous trend. I like the Russians very much and feel connected to you. It is time that more is listened to Russia and that people should have more respect for the largest country in the world. The West must get rid of this colonial mentality. If you know history, you also know that the West has been causing death, destruction, slave labor, extermination of indigenous peoples and so on for centuries. People have already forgotten that here. The West should be severely punished for that!

  2481. 01:56 Heey i have an Astra H Sedan '12MY to. Be honest, as an owner who maintain my car by myself in m own garage, i've realized, that today's problem of owning a European Car in Russia is not about the lack of spare parts, but about lacks of qualiy spare parts. Last weekend i had a problem with the leackage of antifreeze (it's well known problem for overy owner of GM with EcoTec engines since the middle of 2000's). And guess what, it was caused by the quality of parts. In the summer of last year i've reassembled oil-cooler (the block on the engine's block (lol) where coolant and oil goes on parallel channels for temperatur exchange). I've bought the new thermostat with aluminium body, and the pack of gaskets for oil-cooler, with GM labels with holograms and all that shit. They have lasted just a year (or around 15 000 km), and then all my underhood space were in oil and antifreeze again. The prices has been rised in roubles, but the quality significantly dropped down. At this time i bought a cheap gaskets, thermostat and bunch of other staff that made in Taiwan, and doesn't see any sense of trying to find an overpriced "original" spareparts. Chinese manufacturers started faking very look-like OEM labels and marks on parts, but they're not OEM, but being selled everywhere (even in big spare parts retailers) as OEM. What about workshops, there also feels some lack of a good specialists there, so after that MOST of repairs of my own car i decided to do by myself. I've also bought some diagnostic equipment for old Opels, and now helping other owners to repair their cars (i've learned how to properly maintain an Easytronic automatized transmission, and my clients very happy, when their "freaky robot" drives smooth again). I've thinked about to change my Astra for something 4x4, but, unfortunately, i can't afford to buy a newer and better car with price higher than 800 000 - 900 000 RUB (approx. 10-11k USD now), and if you will look deep to the market of used cars, most of them are dead, even not bad maintained, because people with low incomes started to spend much less on maintaining of their own cars, and in most cases, even cheap car often buys with the last money. And don't look over on Moscow roads, where whe have visibility of "mostly brand new cars on the roads are there". This visibility it's just because of people who used to drive upper-middle class cars (big European, USA and Japanes SUV's, and other things like premium sedans) are trading them in for a brand new Chinese cars, because they hope that at least it's warranty (5 years mostly) there will be no any headache with them. Resuming my example: the car market in Russia is not quiet dead or lowed to the level of African countries, but staying on it's knees now, and in nearest future will sure not stand up. P.S.: your language is very well, especially that you speak with no any accent. I've subscribed. Cheers from Moscow, Zelenograd.

  2491.  @RealReporter  Yes, true, true, I suggested also more vids, like once a week, to get a stable audience coming back and back - and also financially this would be a good thing. But, I was rather thinking that, maybe you can attempt a mix? As you said, the street talks are a way to get extra content more fast and (relatively) more easy. So my thoughts about that was, that maybe you could go for a weekly "more easy" approach, like you did with the streettalks and the showing the (lack of) effect of the sanctions by showing the Russian shops, etc.. And in the meantime, for the long hole, maybe a much longer one that lends itself to "taking its time" (like the economic one you made) each month, or each 2-3 months? That way, you'd have the best of both worlds, me thinks. Of course, it's easier said than done, no doubt, and I don't know your current workload. ;-) From a business-perspective, it's not bad to jump at contemporary issues, like with the killing of Prigozhin: with such a hot topic when it happened, you're right to drop everything, and make use of the hype/interest of that moment. That would be another example of something "fast paced" and "relatively easy to make". But the long, in-depth high-quality stuff can't be neglected neither; many relish in that as well, after all. It's like... the weekly vids would be the bait to keep the fish around, and the long vids would be that which you hook the fish with, if I had to use an analogy. ;-) That's how I see your channel grow the most, but that's just my opinion, of course, and I know in practice a lot of things can come in between. Curious about those future cards you speak of! Also glad to see my coffee arrived well. I just used your old mail that you gave me; wasn't sure it was still ok.

  2503.  @RealReporter  I think ex-pats vids do have an appeal on their own, especially from foreigners or fellow-countrymen. It's because we can see how they live there, and an insight in why they went to (or stay in) Russia during these peculiar times. It may also appeal to Russians, because they give a different, or at least "non-Russian" view on things, like the war. So I do think they're fun and interesting, albeit less than your cocky-lawyer comes back, me thinks. And for me the "rural" life take on things (including the war) is very interesting as well - because slightly alien, sometimes. And a bit nostalgic too, since those small villages with old machinery have a way of living that reminds me of that of my grandmother, when I was a child. So I liked the scene and comments of the "babuska" in one of your vids (hopefully I spelled that right ;-) ). But anyway, I think my other comment got a bit lost in all the rest (I really should limit my posts), so I'll paste my thoughts about the vid (and my suggestions) here again: "Well... It was interesting, and the guy surely gives some insights in the matter. I would largely agree that, while there is propaganda from both sides, Ukraine is not winning this war. Maybe the Russians aren't either, but that just means there's a stalemate. And he correctly points out, if it comes to grinding, the bigger fish wins in the end. So anyway, it was fairly interesting, and, I suspect, a reasonably "light" vid to make, but I'm still hoping your next one will be back to the inner parts of Russia. There are so many interesting topics to hear from the Russian common folks: how do they think about the war, how do they see (the death of) Prigozhin (a hero, a villain whom killed Russian soldiers? What do they think about the latest explanation for his death?). Or less somber: what do people think about the Belt and Silk Road initiative of China? Do they see anything of it? What do they think of the influx of Chinese goods (like the cars you mentioned)? Do they think Chinese products are getting good? Also another take would be to "re-do" some older footage, where you go visit your former interviewees and let them react on the vids you made of them, and what they think of it, or want to add something to it. Also, to check up on them and see how they're doing. In this respect, maybe you could check-up on the other draftees and soldiers that you first interviewed, if possible. I mean, you did it for the cocky lawyer, and your re-take when he came back was a blast. I mean, really, that vid rocked. I didn't check, but that would probably be one of your most successful vids? You could do this with the others you interviewed in the original vid as well. There was another young bloke out there, who said he was going to be a gunner or sniper or something? What happened to him? What are his experiences so far? Etc. Just putting some ideas out there, for if you're starting to wonder what to do next. ;-)" The ex-pats vids are cool to, though, so I would recommend to keep some variety in your vids. The economic ones, and the "western brands leaving but not really" were interesting to watch as well. Oh, and I jsut discovered your short with the cat of the cocky lawyer: nice and sweet! Don't know how I missed that.

  2587. This is an important video, the right one. Konstantin touched in passing on the fact that our bosses could prepare for what is coming if our country quarrels with our Western partners in a dangerous international process. Thirty-two years have passed since the end of the USSR. Thirty-two years since an inefficient planned economy could create 40% of the world's civilian air force and a measly 20% of the world's industrial production. The state led by stupid communists produced: agricultural products, machine tools, textiles, audio equipment, cameras, televisions and an endless list of medical products. The Communists were idiots, they should have just bought everything from the West! The video features Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven (Aven and Potanin burn in hell, if hell exists), and there was also Anatoly Chubais and Yegor Gaidar. These people - Gaidar, Chubais, Aven, Potanin, as Chubais aptly put it - did everything to "hammer the last nail in the coffin of communism". They ruined and sold off our industry. As a result, our country can not only not produce medicines necessary for human survival, but also the components and precursors to create drugs! Everything we can, we buy from China. Let's thank these honorable gentlemen, they do not know how to drive cars and hire cleaning ladies. We should also thank those who have been selling our irreplaceable natural resources for 30 years and lived by the Gaidar legacy - "We will buy everything abroad". Thank you, our godly bosses, with such gentlemen it becomes unclear why last year we lost 1 million people, while this year by 650 thousand souls. After all, they are doing everything right, we love them and believe them. I express my support to the people shown in this video and hope that they have enough strength and luck to survive these difficult times and our favorite bosses. ==RUS== Это важное видео, правильное. Константин вскользь затронул тему о том, что наши начальники могли бы подготовиться к тому, что грядёт, если наша страна поссорится с западными партнерами по опасному международному процессу. 32 года прошло с конца СССР. 32 года с того момента как неэффективная плановая экономика могла создать 40% мирового гражданского авиафлота и жалкие 20% мирового промышленного производства. Госсударство возглавляемое тупыми коммунистами выпускало: сельхоз тезнику, станки, текстиль, аудиотехнику, фотоаппараты, телевизоры и бесконечный перечень медицинской продукции. Коммунисты - идиоты, нужно было просто купить всё на западе! На видео присутствует Михаил Фридман и Пётр Авен (Авену и Потанину гореть в аду, если ад существует), а был ещё Анатолий Чубайс и Егор Гайдар. Эти люди: Гайдар, Чубайс, Авен, Потанин по меткому выражению Чубайса делали всё, чтобы "забить последний гвоздь в крышку гроба коммунизма". Разрушили и распродали нашу индустрию. В результате наша страна не только не может произвести сами лекарства, нужные для выживания людей, но и компоненты и прикурсоры для создания лекарств! Всё что можем, закупаем в Китае. Скажем этим достопочтенным господам спасибо, они ведь не знают как водить машины и нанять уборщиц. А так же тем, кто продавая 30 лет наши невосполнимые природные ресурсы жили по заветам Гайдара: "Мы всё купим за рубежом", спасибо вам, наши богоданные начальники, с такими господами становится непонятно, почему в прошлом году нас стало меньше на 1 миллион человек, а в этом году на 650 тысяч душ. Ведь они всё делают правильно, мы их любим и им верим. Людям, показанным в этом видео я выражаю свою поддержку и надеюсь, что им хватит сил и везения пережить и эти непростые времена и наших любимых начальников.

  2601. Автора канала "Real Reporter" благодарю за прекрасный фильм, за интересное путешествие в гости к старообрядцам. Самое сердце Великой Сибири, потрясающие виды природы, мощная и красивая река Енисей. Конечно, жители этих таёжных деревень уже совсем не такие, какими были их предки 300 лет назад. От влияния современной цивилизации никуда не деться. Обычаи уже не так строго соблюдаются. И, как заметил житель деревни Илья, строгие обычаи, веру нужно соблюдать, поддерживать, а это довольно трудно. Я рад, что участники этой замечательной экспедиции добрались до пункта назначения, сняли такой великолепный видеорепортаж. И даже вместе со старообрядцами сидели в их доме в гостях за одним столом , пили свежее молоко и кушали сырую рыбу. Конечно, это было для них непривычно. Но, самое глвное - о чём это говорит? Что грани понемногу стираются, строгие обычаи предков с каждым поколением понемногу забываются и происходит незаметное примирение. Еще раз благодарю автора канала и его друга за это увлекательное путешествие в Сибирь.

  2873. Nice vid as always, Kostya. For some reason, it reminded me of your vid of the "old believers" you made a while back. ;-) It had the same vibe. While I understand the more conservative views of this family, I don't actually share their strong belief in God and all that (I'm a bit too logical for that ;-)), and I also don't know if I would choose Russia as a shelter. I have a more laissez-faire attitude: as long as others don't bother me, I don't bother others, and for the rest, it's just enjoying your own life and those close around you. As for societal problems: every society has it. In the West, it's become too woke, true, but I mean.. no disrespect, Kostya, but Russia is pretty autocratic. I'm sure you can have a nice life there, as long as you don't go against the authorities too much and can deal with a rather high level of corruption (though I guess in every day life of normal civilians, this isn't really all that pronounced?) Still... main reasons thusfar in all your "ex-pats and foreigners that came to live in Russia" vids, two themes are noticeable: they do it for the gorgeous nature and calmness of rural Russia - away from the Western hectic life, and/or for societal-ideological (or belief) reasons - away from the Western Woke-ism. I can understand both reasons, but their choice seems a bit drastic, in my view. Also, if all the conservatives would leave, leftist woke-ism gets free reign and remains unopposed here: not a good thing, imho. But well, to each his or her own. The father is even prepared for military service in Russia if it came down to it, it would seem. Which reminds me: I wanted to ask this for a long time, Kostya; if you were drafted, what would you do? Would you go to the front? Would you stop with your vids, or rather make vids of your experiences on the front and keep your social media channels active?
