  1. why not moving there then?
    27
  2.  @Lana.ru.  and when we know the history of Odesa, what does it matter for the people of the city today? Those people who founded Odesa are long dead. But hypothetically, if we know that Odesa was founded by Catherine the Great, should I draw conclusions out of it? With her being of German origin should we wonder if the city is German then?!? ;-) Well, and the city became part of Ukraine by establishing a separate Ukrainian entity, whether it was called Ukrainian Soviet Republic back then or similar. This was also 100 years ago.

  3. Dirk, what makes you support the Russian troops bombing and killing in Ukraine?
    11
  4.  @emmahawker5832  I hope, it will be for long! But with Putler around you have to be fearful that something could happen to this beautiful city.
    11
  5.  @sanfersGameChannel  Unfortunatly everybody rather looses in a actual war. The shame is that Putler counts on an exhaustion war and does not care at all how many young Russian men will die for his weird ideas.
    9
  6.  @Lana.ru.  what is Russian about Odesa?
    9
  7.  @Wild-Siberia  I don't know any Dutch, German, or Austrian or other central Europeans who "hate" Ukraine, Russia or the US. Most of them hate war and the senseless killing in Ukraine and they would hate, if Ruzzia would attack their countries, too.
    7
  8.  @Jusedss  All?!? It does not seem so obvious to me. According to census: by far most inhabitans are Ukrainian citizen and have no Russian citizenship. Are this 1 million non- existing or non-human? 71 % of the inhabitans don't consider themselves not as etnic Russians. Are those non- existing or non-human? 35 % don't even use Russian at home. Are those non- existing or non-human? Where does this ignorance or arrogance come from believing that everyone is or wants to become Russian. Does it comes frome decades or centuries of propaganda? I'm really curious.

  9.  @sanfersGameChannel  who of the commentators are you referring to?

  10.  @cristitanase6130  What is what? What is not? Not really detailed information the readers of the comments would benefit from.

  11.  @OutragedPufferfish  "Ever since this conflict started I've been dreaming of returning to Russia"
    4
  12.  @ОлегВладимирский-г9я  "we take, what belongs to us" ... really sounds like quotes from nazi Germany. Some RuZzians don't really realise how similar their aggressive and imperialistic argumentation is.
    3
  13.  @OutragedPufferfish  there might be a few reasons to move to Russia, like nature or remoteness or mentality ... but having the conflict as a reason is rather odd.
    3
  14. ​ @vera.1897  The Russian Federation is not the Soviet Union either and if an aggressive imperialistic dictator Putler deserve to own it, is an equal question. Noone likes fascists - yet why do Ruzzians not reflect their own fascist behaviour and gangs first is a question which arises.
    3
  15.  @OutragedPufferfish  how many Russian civilians were killed in "Donbass in 7 years"? And what did these Russians "civilians" do there in Ukraine? Were these Russian mercenaries by chance - financed and sent by Moscow?
    3
  16.  @iraqian-odessit  Nenka?!? What is this? You seem to assume and predict a lot ... could you assume Friday's lottery numbers by any chance as well and send them to me?! I promise,I will donate half the winning to Ukrainian refugees!

  17. when did the Nato attack Russia? is there an access to this parallel universe somewhere?

  18.  @cristitanase6130  an argumention without further added value.

  19. Actually, you should be able to have various options and be able to argue for the best way - and not be jailed for an opposing opinion like in Russia or not be dissed and excluded like in the US.

  22. What is Amjoba?
    2
  23.  @OutragedPufferfish  good, and I already thought you dream of Putin at night ...?!
    2
  24. Because he talked about conflicts in Europe ... and Syria, Afghanistan or Iran are NOT in Europe!
    2
  25. (as the video also stated) ... there are about 400,000 Russian-born people living in the US now ... therefore your comment makes no sense.
    2
  26. Not even Russian can be that stupid to make the planet uninhabitable. What is the benefit to annex new territories, if they are nuclear contaminated in the end?
    2
  27. I puzzled: he has been living there for over 8 months with no other American around and he is not able speak one complete sentence of Russian. How will he judge what people think about the war in his town when he not even able to speak with them?
    2
  28. ​ Ольга  God forbids hopefully Odesa doesn't become Russian rubble like Mariupol or Bakhmut.
    2
  29. I hope there will be places in Ukraine where people can live in peace too.
    2
  30.  @X1oshi  far off from being greatest. Very unfortunate but true.
    2
  31. ​ @lpxGaidai  wow, the Russian adminstration repairs streets!!11! Maybe even roads they bombed into rubble before.... Who would of thought of this?! I'm sorry for your personal destiny ... but honestly who repaired the streets in the 30 years before - maybe the Ukrainian adminstration?!
    2
  32. His story is not very special or interesting... it is only interesting in a context of Russian / American propaganda.
    2
  33.  @valary2676  ... and Odesa was the capital of which territory? But anyhow it WAS... the same way the Zsar WAS ... and the Russian Empire WAS: But the modern Russian Federation has clearly imperialic characteristics. For me it already feels weird that they often officially display the imperial eagle and not design a modern ( or democratic or federal) eagle.
    2
  34. Well, it is hard to love things, when it it is difficult to get to know these places, when it is hard to enter Russia and when its aggressive politicians and policies frighten people.
    2
  35. @Ceroid most of US Americans speak English - but they are not England, even though some cities founded by English. Many areas and nations were under the Russian Crown like the Finns or Estonians - but that doesn't make them to Russians today. The Russian Crown, the Russian Empire and Russian Czar don't exist anymore - even though Putler thinks he could be a new Czar. Ukrainians are not Russian... they self determined that they want to be an independent nation in 1991 and even Crimea or Donbas chose to be a part of an independent Ukraine back then.
    2
  36.  @iraqian-odessit  good for you - don't give any piece of Odesa to Putler!
    2
  37. Is this a reverse universe - everything RuZzia does is now made by the US... ?
    2
  38.  @VitaliiKholmukhamedov  objectively viewed, one has to note that the Ukraine did not invade Russia, did not bomb Russian cities, did not commit war crimes on Russian territory, did not cause power shortages or drinking water problems for Russian citizens - just objectively speaking. Sure everything can be viewed from various perspectives - but when it comes to swapping victim and perpetrator a line will be crossed.
    2
  39.  @АленаЧеховских-ж8м  even if borders are not precise this is not an excuse to invade other countries, bomb cities and people. This is the 21st century btw and there are other ways to solve territorial issuses. This applies to Donbas and Crimea - both areas vorted in referendums in 1991 to be independent from the Soviet Union and part of an independent Ukraine. If you want to talke about referendum you need to talk about this as well.
    2
  40.  @sanfersGameChannel  yes, unfortunatly.
    2
  41.  @atkocuboatkocubo8729  who is "they"?
    2
  42.  @ALEXRUSSIANOCCUPANT  generalisation like "what the whole West does" just shows that someone hasn't study the situation in detail and is not willing to differenciate. Congrat for the own goal in the argumentation!
    2
  43.  @selenga1  When a woman is killed in the streets of Odesa the perpetrator should be found and punished. It doesn't help to bomb other cities like Mariupol and kill thousands there. It also doesn't help to send money, wappons and mercenaries from Russia to Donbas in order to create unrest for over 8 years. The aim of a discussion is not in agreeing in every detail. The goal could also be in exchanging information and facts on the topic or get to know and understand other perspectives towards the topic.

  46.  @vera.1897  yes, all !!111!!- even the trees, the birds, the rain and the sun, the poop in the toilet - everything is Russian!! Are you also Ruzzian? ...this comment was sarcastic, but this ignorant attitute with saying "all" just comes accross a arrogant sentences like : "Ukrainians are just dumb farmers - they don't know how to built and libve in a city - they don't deserve to live there" I really thought this ethnic arrogance we left behind in the last century.

  47.  @НинаКвят  Hello Idiot, nice to meet you! Greetings back to Odesa!

  48. ​​ @slavikb.4580  Listen pal, I'm not your freak. You should watch your Ukrainian. I don't speak Ukrainian nor do I live there. Though I met people who fled Russian bombings. It feels sick that in this war victims and perpetrators are often interchanged ... and people who speak up against the aggressive imperialistic Ruzzian behavior by attacking and killing people in Ukraine are suddenly the reason that the war continues... how confused by propaganda must someone be to write such stuff.

  50. ​ @ИзабеллаГаппоева  apparently, the famous opera house is designed by Fellner & Helmer architects from Vienna; the iconic Potemkin Stairs by by Italian architect Francesco Boffo; the Philharmonic Theater by Swiss born Architect Bernardazzi - well the seems very clear that Odesa is an Alpine-Italian city!!1!!!11🤣
    1
  51.  @МихаилУстинский  that seems totally unlogical that todays Ukraine is not the successor of the immediate predecessor on this territory before: the Ukrainian SSR and that for over 70 years - but insteadt the successor of some political entity which lasted only a few months over 100 years ago. You have to explain your thoughts behind it - otherwise none of the readers will understand your comment.
    1
  52.  @Jusedss  this "Russian" mental stage stuff just sounds really scary, ...as if the people of the Europe just need to "freed" from their identity, countries and goverments, probably also from their properties and houses by bombing to feel enlightened as "a Russian". Sound really worse as some Soviet era phrases.
    1
  53.  @Каракесек  can you explain what is ALL?
    1
  54. ​ @vitalyanovitalyano1881  so if I understand your argument correctly: "Russians are superior and the only one capable of building communication and industry, Ukrainians are just inferior farmers." It is interesting, how much Putler's propaganda sounds similar to the little Austrian 80 years ago and how many Russians embrace this pseudo-fascism - a thing they allegedly eager to fight in Ukraine, but cultivate themselves at home.
    1
  55.  @Каракесек  WHAT should I care for?
    1
  56. @Ceroid NOT A SINGLE Ukrainian has invaded the Russian Federation. What you just did is victim- perpetrator - reverse. Actually, with the Kiyv Rus having the longest tradition the Ukrainians could argue that half of Russia is yours, but they don't. We have the 21st century and people want to live in peace - and Germany doesn't invade the Netherlands, claiming these are the same people. France does not invade Belgium or Austria tries to capture South Tyrol from Italy. No Dane wants to conquer Southern Sweden. All of these could argue the same stuff you just did about Ukraine. But they don't. Because they DON'T perceive themselves as a an imperialistic, aggressive, superior country with an leader who is eager to play world power again.

  57.  @galiamarkova3775  really "Russia"? ... or rather death and devastation?!
    1
  58. ​ @АлександраАлександрова-р4ш ​ "Odesa WAS founded by Russians ..." Yes, WAS! But I did ask: what IS Russian about Odesa now? There is a difference between WAS and IS. Or is there no distinction, because only WAS exists in the Russian language - but no IS.
    1
  59.  @proego7  I don't really get the connection between Ukraine and Mexiko. Did the US annexed parts of Mexiko with the excuse they want to fight fascists? Or that Acapulco was founded by an US American empress? Or Mexico doesn't really exist, it was always the USA? Or Mexico needs to be attacked, since Alaska joint a defense organisation with Russia.
    1
  60.  @malcaniscsm5184  Exactly!
    1
  61.  @Funkbass1986  Well, now the US should bomb Mexico City just because you talked about it!!1!1! Exactly that would be the analogy to what Ruzzia did and still does. What did Putler achive with aggressive politics aganinst and alleged Nato expansion?? Finland joined Nato, Sweden is planning it, Nato countries support Ukraine, the Baltic states concentrate troops and equipment at the border, Poland and Germany increase their military budget. If there was a Russian policy trying to subpress expantion it went totally wrong to the opposite.

  64.  @an1ma_an1mus  if you are not able to speak in an civilised manner , I see no benefit in discussing with you. You can use your expression in your Siberian home but not in public here. You're such stereotypical loud Russian, who doesn't realise that smaller nations feel pushed aside by this aggressive behaviour. BTW, you did not even get the point: it doesn't matter which language Katharine spoke or which crown she wore, she is long dead and her empire is gone as well. What matters are the people who live today in Odesa und who want to live there in peace. If you want to deal with fascists and criminals look inside Russia first than somewhere else.

  65.  @selenga1  I'm a bit lost in translation, what you mean in your comments. If you have detailed information about Odesa - please share! That is the meaning of this dialogue: me asking a question + someone else can answer it and enlighten everyone since this thread is public. I don't speak Ukrainan nor do I care if you are imported or not.

  66.  @Lana.ru.  there was a peace treaty over Königsberg?? - I wonder, who made this treaty with who? One think is for sure, nobody did asked the local population before they were expelled.

  67. No, thanks! The rest of the world rather don't want such a "special" "rescue" by RuZzia like it is done right now in Ukraine!
    1
  68.  @selenga1  do you really think the US cares about Mexico and if the Mexican goverment or police kills people in Mexico? This is everyday life there. Do you really think the US would invade for this reason. Do you really think Putler cares about who said what to woman with buggy in which language? This were just welcomed insidences for his geopolitical and imperialistic ambition. How little he cares about Russian lifes you can see in the 200,000 dead young Russian men now.
    1
  69.  @Lana.ru.  nobody aked the people of Königsberg! Russia took land, art, every third factory, whole train tracks, agricultural good as repearations ... approx. worth 100 billion marks. They keep German soldiers in Gulag like camps up to 10 years. They even claimed it as reparations for other east block countries but nevrer gave a penny e.g. to Poland. But what has it to do with topic? Is Russia willing to pay reparations for all the things they destroyed in Ukrain?!

  70.  @____2279  the translation tool has difficulties with your comments: they sound poetic but hard to understand ... and seemed to be the same whataboutism propaganda like "lets destroy entire towns and kill everyone on the streets because Solowjow said that someone started something and that they eat coccaine for breakfast. well, you really wonder, when Ukrainian can't effort to repair their street how can they eat coccaine all day??

    1
  74. ​ @АленаЧеховских-ж8м  maybe the problems with Crimea is not the autonomy or the desire for it, but rather the annexation by Russia. Kosovo wasn't annex by Albania to draw a parallel.
    1
  75. ​ @АленаЧеховских-ж8м  well, internationally it is regarded as an Annexation by Russia. It is not up to me to blame here anyone, since Russia didn't kill many people or bombed entire cities to rubble for achieving this land gain. There are clear geopolitical intrests for Putler to possess Crimea: through it he secures a big chunk of Black Sea waters with potential gas and oil field and other strategic interests.

  76.  @RussianHomesteadGirl-kz6df  How little Pitler care for his people you see by the 200,000 young Russian men who are already dead as cannon fodder for his weird war plans. There is so much nonsense in your comment that it is not worth going in detail about it. I find it rather interesting were do you get this "alternative" narrative or "alternative" facts from? Do they tell this on Russian state TV? Is it from social media like VK, Telegram or TikTok? Or are these hear-say-stories from friends? I've red the fairly same wording a couple of time - can you earn a couple of bucks when you create an Youtube account and copy this here?

  87. ​ @МихаилМихайлович-б5д so you've obviously never been to Mariupol!?! Who is the "West"? And why would that person urge Ukraine to join Nato? The most obvious think to stop the war would be if Russia would stop invading, attacking and bombing! Don't do this perfidious reverse game disguise who is the aggressor. How misanthropic must some one be to use rebuilding work as an excuse... how do you rebuild dead people? How do you rebuild a lost family member? How do you rebuild destroyed vistas?

Likewise Paris, Geneva, Brussells or Montreal are French speaking cities ... and still no French speaking leader feels the need to bomb St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral in Brussels. Definitly, there is something rotten in the state of Putler.

  100.  @Wild-Siberia  not greeting eachother - not even in a small village? That is unusual, since in a small community you often rely on eachother. Here in Germany you also greet people if you meet them in the wild / nature. The perseption is, when you greet each other you will remember that person better - and if something happens, people can easier say where this person was seen the last time etc.

  101. How little emphaty for people dying and suffering in Ukraine can someone have talking about "peaceful"? How much propaganda must someone watch talking about defense while attacking and invading other countries?!?

  102.  @Wild-Siberia  I was answering the comment above which was about Russia. The same way the video was about Russia as well as mentioning the war Russia executes in Ukraine. The dying and suffering of the people in Ukraine really troubles me. It also concerns me and I can relate to since there are Ukrainian refugees all around, even in my village. Neither the video was about Iraq nor was it topic in the comment. Using this whataboutism by you just reminds of Russian propaganda. Obviously you are already infected by it. Trying to put numbers of victims in relations to eachother just shows how little empathy you also have for the dying and suffering of the people in Ukraine and on what high horse you seemingly sit.

How arrogant and without emphaty can someone be sitting on his couch, playing computer games and saying: I don't care about people and some houses will be rebuilt. Maybe you should be sitting in a basement in Mariupol without your fast food and drinking water ... then we will see who's crying.

  105. "we"? ... anyhow, there is plenty of burnt ground and bombed rubble in Ukraine, where normal people wonder what Ruzzia wants to do with devastated strip of land. Is it only because of the oil, gas and coal fields beneath this burnt ground and adjacent sea area ?

Not even stupid teenagers think this way.

  120. Not Russia but Putler: is he looking to secure offshore gas and oil field for his oligarch clique? Is dreaming of a lost empire? Does he want to manipulate his shrinking population statistics by adding a few million Ukrainians? Or is he too big of a coward to admit that he f*cked up with this senseless war?

  123.  @Wild-Siberia  but Russian is probably the most logical with less exeptions when you stick to the rules ... and onces you know the rules. Therefore it important to really take grammar lessons. Since you speak German, did you notice that Russian adopted many German words? Sometimes the meaning shifted a little bit: Butterbrot, Schlagbaum, Glühwein, Perückenmacher, Stempel, Zifferblatt, Brandmauer, ...

  124. ​​ @Wild-Siberia  compared to other countries, for example in Europe the US has very few accents and people speak fairly similar with minor differences. Just compare is with the UK which just has a fifth of the population and a far greater variety of accents and dialects. Russian, despite the vast country seems fairly homogeneous too, and many you the Moscow accent as a guideline.
    1
  125.  @Wild-Siberia  I'm offering you just a different perspective, since you obviously haven't been to the various parts of the UK and I presented you the advantage of truly learning Russian since it is very similar in an enormous territory. You are welcome!

  126.  @Wild-Siberia  Native Americans in the US have or rather had their own indigenous languages. If they have an accent in American English probably depends on the individual. Is your mother tongue English or Spanish?

  129. Yes, peaceful in Siberia - not so much on the shores of the Black Sea or Dnepr.
    1
  130. Highly speculative... one thing is for sure: shame and disrespect is yours!
    1
  131.  @Last_Shinobi  I guess, you are proud, that RuZzia is killing people in Ukraine.
    1
  132. Have you been outside of Russia before?
    1
  133. You've clearly never been to Russia or watch Russian TV - otherwise you would know what true lying, propaganda and brainwashing is. That is so typical Western Europe: weeping about minor discomforts where the rest of the world would just shake their head about it.
    1
  134.  @fawkes7601  how do you know everyone else's view?!? Are you a psychic or a medium by any chance? Can you also speak with dead? For example with those from Butcha? Or can you forsee the future? It would be very kind if you could provide Friday's lottery numbers? I promise I'll donate half of the winnings to a reconstruction project in Ukraine.
    1
  135.  @Wild-Siberia  loosing 200,000 young men in the best working age (who are dead now) doesn't make a country stronger, but creates a huge gap. Plus half a million who fled for mobilisation and due to restrictions for creatives, press and sanctions. These were also young and creative folks which must have harmed Russian economy. Might be that the remaining rest believes "stronger" in the RuZZian propaganda - but that's abou it, what got "stronger" there.

  136. You will survive.
    1
  137. Free of democracy, free of true, independent elections, free of independent justice, free of uncensored media, free of the right for demonstration, free of opposing opinions, and sadly soon free of a generation of young men, sons and brothers... Free of so many things .... it truly must be one of the freest countries1!!!111!1!!
    1
  138. Who really cares about Russian internal affairs and how they end?! The thing is that attacking Ukraine is not an internal affair, even though Putler wants to give this impression in his speeches.
    1
  139. good for you!

  140.  @maxsaslt  I agree in doubting his opinions, but it is not up to you judging over his cognitive abilities.
    1
  141. You don't like Ukraine? just don't invade there!
    1
  142.  @indycoon  have you seen USA invading Ukraine? Or is that stuff Solowjow tells you every night?
    1
  143. Obviously drinking coke is more important for many Russians than the question if Ukrainians have drinking water in their bomb shelter.
    1
  144. and exactly this nucular and imperialistic Russian threats is what makes country after country to join Nato.
    1
  145. What so wrong about a snow covered village? This is just your perception. Most places in Western and Central Europe don't experience hardly any snow anymore and would have a romantic view on it.

  146. if a nuclear war begins, you will be better off by being dead right away.

  147. Hail Putler!!1!!
    1
  148. I've never came across such a story that a German journalist writes about people in Russia having no food ... let alone several. Sorry this is pretty much made up. German journalists do report from Eastern Ukraine how people still staying there, sit in their basement with no drinking water or without electricity and little food while you can hear the Russian granates outside. These are the true stories that matter. Nobody feels pity or cares if you have to bend down for Coca Cola in an Sibirian shop.
    1
  149. Russians also don't give a damn about people dying in Ukraine, I guess ... obviously, the main thing is if Pepsi is available.... Nicholas, maybe should question your RuZzian values?!
    1
  150. Who is "you"?
    1
  151. His nationality is clearly US - but he might Mexican by ethnicity.
    1
  152. So, how many did really apply for citizenship?
    1
  153.  @yurypetrov9763  some foreigners move there for study and from central Asian countries, but that many from Western Europe or the Americas do it, I've never heard so far and applying for Russian citizenship would be even less. Why would they do it? Even if someone choose to reside in Russia, but why would she or he give up there Western passport?!? It is much easier to travel with it than with a Russian one.
    1
  154.  @АлексейЛев-о6о  shall we change the comments in the thread to Ukrainian?
    1
  155. If he had to struggle for life like ordinary Russians it would be a different picture.
    1
  156.  @Wild-Siberia  whos grandparents?
    1
  157. You watched to much Ruzzian propaganda tv and have never been to the US. I'm certain.
    1
  158. Everybody is losing in a war - and even if it is a generation of young Russian who became cannon fodder.
    1
  159. well, the comment is hard to follow...
    1
  160.  @Wild-Siberia  spying on fishing spots?! ;-)
    1
  161. You are divorced before married? 🤔
    1
  162.  @АлефтинГринов  the 6 century? what? those people are 1,500 years dead! 1,500 years would be like 60 generation in between. I do believe already after 8 generations it is hard to proof that you are related to a certain person and from the same "blood".
    1
  163. is this the same sword which already has Ukrainian blood on it?
    1
  164. How much do Eastern politicians know?
    1
  165.  @barteosz86  But do you realise that yesterday's pupils in Poland you talk about are also Western politicians of today?!
    1
  166.  @ГалинаМакарова-к8ш  how do you, how life is in Europe? From Russian propaganda tales on Russian state TV? Btw, nobody freezes here, has not enough to eat, stopped showering, has skin diseases or fleas ...We don't have sex with turtles or are transformers - despite all the nonsense Russian TV tells you every night.
    1
  167. Ruzzia, Ruzzia, over all !11!!
    1
  168. There still foreign reporters around - but some get arrested, as just done in Jekaterienenburg.
    1
  169. Since he don't understand Russian tv (it is probably for the better when you see what Solowjow screams there every other day) , it can be only this what his partners and her family and friends tells him. It rather show how this propaganda is already ingrained in the common population.
    1
  170. Protesting for what? To finish destroying the country and killing people in Ukraine?!
    1
  171. I guess, those poisonous Western values are democracy, freedom of speech, indipendent justice, free elections etc. RuZzia is indeed a place removed from those poisons.
    1
  172.  @Wild-Siberia  US Americans just don't care what happens in a small town in Siberia.
    1
  173. it is really scary how homophobia is used as a propaganda tool in distracting and scapegoating in this senseless war. there are so many similarities between Solowjow and Göbbels.
    1
  174. I can imagine - a place for everyone. There are certainly "special recreation" camps, formely know as Gulag. There are probably possibilities to be alone with oneself, without social noise in "special rooms" and to feel every day ... of 8 years. Even celebrities do it! ... like Nawalny etc.
    1
  175.  @ОльгаМин-п6е  I've only travelled twice to the European part of Russia and I found the visa and travel restrictions offputting, especially that you could not spontaniously discover the country but had to proof in advance where you are on which day and where you staying. Maybe this has change meanwhile?? If opposition of protesters are send to a "labor camp" I imagine a Gulag- Maybe it has a different name nowadays - "special accomodation"!?
    1
  176. Which half of the world took up arms against Russia? Maybe in a parallel universe.... I wish half of the world speak out against Putler more clearly.
    1
  177. What is in Omsk?
    1
  178. what does that mean?
    1
  179. Relax until you're drafted...
    1
  180.  @Александр-э8д2у  since when has Putler my number?!?
    1
  181.  @Александр-э8д2у  I doubt that I'm going to burst, rather I need to puke when Putler is on the phone.
    1
  182.  @ferzrrn2  but if annex a Crimea, a Donbass or two or some other external territory every 5 years you have an instant increase of population and you could keep up the overall poulation of Russia in the statistic ... Maybe that is the reason behind some "special agression" - Putler wants to manipulate the bad statistics?
    1
  183. Are you also not against Ukrainians or people from the Caucasus?! One gets a different impression overall...
    1
  184. ​​ @Alexei_1973 he largest immigrant group from Russia to Germany are Russia-Germans and their families. Those Russia-Germans are statistically the best integrated of all immigrant groups, mastering German, having good school results and gaining good jobs.
    1
  185.  @Wild-Siberia  the title of the video often gives away the topic of the video: "... on life in Russia after sanctions"
    1
  186.  @RealReporter  don't worry. It is just a fine line between telling a story around Daniel fishing and showing pretty pictures of Lake Baikal ... and him becoming a focal piont in a geopolitical discussion. There are chances in it, but certainly also risks.
    1
  187. excellent description😂
    1
  188.  @gia2442  well, you can maybe go to a store or order in a restaurant, but you are excluded from conversation locals have about social and political issues. In the video Daniel makes assumptions about what people think about the current situation in Russia. The is hard to judge without having any clue of Russian.
    1
  189.  @gia2442  so he knows what she tells, and this has to be good for the entire town and country?!
    1
  190.  @gia2442  that is an assumption. And even though if they visit them he can't talk with them in Russian ans has to hope for his girlfriend to translate.
    1
  191.  @gia2442  I doubt that he would understand much in a political discussion. I've learned Russian in school for 7 years and would struggle to engage in a discussion about political, social, economical or military issues. Though I would be able to shop on a market and say what I want or ask where the fish are from.
    1
  192.  @gia2442  I don't assume he is lying itentionally. I just reckon, he just expresses his personal view and a very limited impression of the situation in Russia. To draw a broader picture he would need to understand more of the media and need to communicate with more people.
    1
  193.  @gia2442  ... and don't forget what usually does day by day. Most likely he meets more fish than people on a daily basis, plus he films videos in English. If he would have a job where he constantly needs to interact with Russian speakers for 8 hours his Russian would be much better. The luck of Russian skills just illustrate how little interaction he has with Russian speakers.
    1
  194. 99% of the rest of the world would like to understand the conflict as well... but it's lacking reasoning.
    1
  195. one has do realise that Russians really believe this and see themselves this way. They have no antenna for the way they treated and still treat smaller ethnic groups and nations inside and adjacent to their empire.
    1
  196. They should send Putler to The Hague. He is life threatening, not brown sugar water.
    1
  197.  @ctotam7839  what is the point of destroying the whole planet for a few hundred nazis? That is as insane as Putler destroying a neighbouring country in the search of nazi. He could have started to fight the nazis within Russia girst. No, instead he uses them for his own "special" aggression.
    1
  198. how much can you earn with protests in Moscow? Do protesters get some money as well to buy a CocaCola?
    1
  199.  @СергейПупкин-у9ш  why should I ? I did not claim otherwise...
    1
  200.  @Freakadelko  How are you so optimistic? Without any Russian sign for an interest in ceasefire or retreat it looks more like ir will continue for years to come.
    1
  201. Where do you get free lunches?
    1
  202.  @janusz4695  and this has to do with what? Do Ukrainian refugees get their food?
    1
  203.  @janusz4695  and giving free linches is bad and a "fail"?
    1
  204.  @pickleeggs3340  what have you done "in movies"?
    1
  205. it illustrates the double standard and that the all this "fighting nazis" is just a Russian propaganda excuse to do what you want.
    1
  206. ​ @Wild-Siberia  being on tourist visa, do you just use a travel health insurance? Or how does it work when you stay for so long in Russia with the possibility of going sick.
    1
  207. I wonder if people who get bombs on their heads - within or next to Russia - if Grossny or Mariupol - find it as "peaceful"?! I wonder if all the people who are killed or inprisoned just for having an opposing oppion, enjoy that "peace" on the cemetery or in prison that much?!
    1
  208. In the last decades rather the opposite direction is rather common ... leaving Siberia ... leaving Russia ... moving to the US. People like Daniel are just interesting because they are a rare examples despite the mainstream.
    1
  209. What a nonsense! Young Russian men are dying because they are send (often badly skilled) with no reason to Ukraine.
    1
  210. Due to Russia's aggression more countries joining Nato and frugal countries spent more on defense and weapons. Well done, Ruzzia!!1!1!!!
    1
  211. ​ @user-.....zvi4i have you seen street interviews with fellow Russians? Very interesting: 2 third won't answer at all or they say something that they are "apolitical". 1 quarter struggles not to use the wrong words or say their opinion directly. And the last 10% just repeat phrases say have seen on state tv or from Solojow like parrots. That gives a deep impression how "freely" you can express your own opinion in today's Ruzzia.
    1
  212.  @user-.....zvi4i  what is a LGBT aggression? And what would have it or Biden to do with this video? Is this some whataboutism of you? And how do you know how many videos or interviews I've seen? I can tell you: I've seen many. Interestingly in interviews done on the streets of Ukraine people speak more freely, with more reason, sense and logic then the odd situations you see in Russia ... and all that despite the alleged "fascist conditions" in Ukraine. Honestly, there so many things which reminds me in Vladimir 's policies of Adolf not anywhere else.
    1
  213. protesting against madness in Siberia?!? What?
    1
  214.  @arsenasvarov1400  yeah, bombing civilians in Ukraine is mad indeed. But what should the international students have learned in Sibiria: how to mind your on business? how to not care what the state of Russia does in Ukraine? Or how to show no emphaty toward ukrainian civilians as long as my own mobilisation is not concerned?!?
    1
  215.  @arsenasvarov1400  dudnik, why do write your stuff here publicly, if you don't want a reaction? Since it is hard for you to read and write long paragraphs, it would have been easier to tell it to your hairdresser and he would have agreed for sure.
    1
  216. ​​ @Wild-Siberia  at least try to start learning it. Can you at least read the letters and some signs? For an English/Spanish speaker Russian can be an obstacle, but many conjugation and declinations follow straight forward rules with less exceptions than in other Slavic languages. But if you don't familiarize yourself with these rules, you will never set a foot into this language. I don't how it would be if you start without grammar just to begin to speak it.
    1
  217.  @Wild-Siberia  are your comments comedy? Well, the war in Ukraine is no laughing matter for me. If I'm allegedly in every conversation, than you must be in 450% of the conversations, roughly guessing. I wonder, why you write so much here publicly, if you don't want an reaction? The video at least gives the impression that you can't take part in a simple conversation with a market lady and grocery guy, let alone discussing politics or war fare.
    1
  218. well, that makes you wonder, why RuZZia doesn't let neighboring countries and people live in peace and tranquility?!
    1
  219. Russian law also "protects" husbands in this way that it is not a crime to beat up your wife - just an administrative offence. Yearly about 14,000 Russian wifes die due to domestic violence.
    1
  220. There is a demographic problem in Russia, I guess. Too many migrating because they can't stand Putin's regime or don't want to fight for it. Too few children. Low life expectancy: men often die of alcohol... and women because they are beaten to death by their husbands or boyfriends. There is quite something rotten in the state of Russia!
    1
  221. they are manipulated by lizzard people!11!!1
    1
  222.  @user-Z1958  it is the right for every human to speak up against attacks, bombing and killing. Also Russia signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. this includes also the Right for Life, Freedom and Security.
    1
  223.  @user-Z1958  but do realise that the topic of the video here is Russia and the consequences of Russia attacking Ukraine. The US didn't attack Russia and didn't interfered with internal affairs in Russia. About 98% of humanity does not regard attacking Ukraine as an "internal Russian affair".
    1
  224.  @Wild-Siberia  ... and I have no idea to which of my comments you are answering to? You are hard to follow ... especially here, since I haven't even adressed you in this thread. Try to mention what you are regarding to or which specific argument you are adressing.
    1
  225.  @Wild-Siberia  is this a question? if so, please apply a question mark to it then. For me it is not worthwhile to argue about who killed more people in Afghanistan. If you would stress how many children could go savely to school because of your job and how many civilian didn't get hurt because of you cleaning up land mines, that would be something people could relate to. Playing war is not self purpose.
    1
  226.  @asdf1238hgf  it is really the worst that the Orthodox patriarch in Moscow is backing Putler's aggression. It is so not-christian to attack other countries and kill people there. Maybe many Ruzzians should truly question their faith!
    1
  227. Of course, bending down for coke is nearly as dramatic as sitting in a basement in Ukraine without drinking water while you here the eruptions outside.... (it is a shame thar Russians often come across self-centered with little empathy for those people Russia attacks)
    1
  228. Fighting in Afghanistan is probably one of a few things Russians and US Americans share.
    1
  229. this is a bit far fetched. well, all ancestors of the people commenting here are from Africa.
    1
  230. Russians are totally different in this way. Look how many left the country and even after the mobilisation ... they don't want to follow their master and become cannon fodder.
    1
  231. Maybe the price varies whether you can speak Russian or not?!
    1
  232.  @LongMax  Russia should have apples too. And store them in a warehouse (usually cool with extra CO2) is not a rocketscience. My self picked apples from the garden usually last until Easter. Btw, there was a guy called Mitschurin who did experiments on the cold hardinest of fruit tree in the last century to establish apples even in Siberia.
    1
  233. If everything is so perfect, why is there so much domestic violence in Russia? Why are 14,000 wives killed by their Russian husbands yearly? Why do so many Russian men leave their woman and kids behind, not paying any aliment? Why does in this perfect Russia the special operator Putler changes the law that domestic violence is not a crime anymore?
    1
  234. ​ @Wild-Siberia  honestly? then Africa would be a safer bet.
    1
  235. Strange Russian perception of world! Who has stolen anything from Russia in the 1990? I guess, for some Russian the wish for right of independence of e.g. Baltic states is "stealing" . And when they have problems with LGBT right they throw bombs on Ukraine... were weird idea of "peace-loving"! I can totally understand that many people in former Soviet republics don't want this "Russian love".
    1
  236. Have you ever tried to enter Russia without a complicated visa process?!
    1
  237. свобода -freedom?!? Freedom of speech? Freedom to protest? Free elections? Free journalism? Free, indipendent justice? Are you sure it is RuZZia?
    1
  238. Obviously there are more who need treatment, considering their state of mind after decades of Ruzzian propaganda.
    1
  239. People in Ukraine also want to live and work in peace ... but RuZZia doesn't let them.
    1
  240. Mexico is in America, duh!

  241. Actually, it is better to deliver the baby already in the States - in this way it already has US citizenship.
    1
  242. well, the reality in Russia is - there are many single mums, and guys leaving the woman alone, don't aknowlegde paternity and don't pay any alimony due to a weak position of women in the Russian legal sytem. He obviously has no idea of the situation of a potential mother in Russia.
    1
  243. What is Ukrs? I've heard of Orks before...
    1
  244. what you don't see but can expect is the dead of tens of thousands. ...and makes you wonder how many permille were those allegded "nazis" amoung them?!
    1
  245. I don't see many hospitable, warm people listen to Russians with little emphaty for Ukrainians being bombed and how they don't care as long as they are not drafted and nobody attacks Russia.
    1
  246.  @nerd1000ify  there are also neo nazis in Russia. Who would invate Russia using this excuse?
    1
  247.  @mery_s_derevni  I only see a few who decide what to do and what to say in public
    1
  248. )) it is probably what Solojow just told the Russian public (or screams as usual) in Russian prime time TV.
    1
  249. True, it is far away from the front line, Russia mostly don't show emphaty for people dying in Ukraine plus no media will notice these protests because it is somewhere in nowhere.
    1
  250. Yeah right, Ukrainian children just making up the bombing notice while sitting the school's shelter room.... these are just friendly Russian fireworks outside!!1!!1!
    1
  251.  @Wild-Siberia  well, not for Europeans... you need to apply for a visa together with an invitation of a person residing in Russia or an attestation of a hotel where and when exactly you staying in advance. This makes it not easy for people who don't know anybody in Russia or want to discover unplanned the country on their own. Additionally there are warnings for people with dual citizenship: those who have also Russian citizenship can be drafted right at entering Russia. Also there warnings to visit regions neighbouring Ukraine or traveling Crimea. Electronical short term visa are not available anymore. Also EU citizens can experience hour long questions at the border or even arrest without reasoning. You have to keep in mind that Europeans can travel freely on most of the continent, in 27 countries they even have to show a passport or there is no border control. In other they don't to have to apply for a visa. They don't spend several hundreds of euros on a visa but rather on their travel. The condition for travelling Russia are just off-putting. Well, I guess this might be also the intentions from the Russian administration.
    1
  252. I guess, that was the biggest surprise so far for Putler.
    1
  253. But what is there to spy in Siberian woodlands?
    1
  254. I wonder, who that guy "the west" is and would kind of lies that should be he is telling? I 've never heard anything about Sljudjanka in any media before ... not even lies 😂!

  255. Coca Cola is just a symbol. An in the end sanctions are more about technology transfer and heavy machinery from the West. And this is nothing you would see in a display of a supermarket.
    1
  256. But not in Europe.
    1
  257. How much does Nato pay per person for going to a demonstration?? Does the amount depend how many hours you protest? Do you get the money after the demonstration with the non-existent Swift-money transfer? Or do you get paid with CocaCola? Or does the Russian police give out cash after arresting?

  258. Bvikal - is this the fish?

  259.  @dimaringdead  okay, sorry, I got it. I was mistaken by the spelling... is "gud" actually Russian word, btw ?
    1
  260.  @dimaringdead  good is "gut" in German - not "gud".
    1
  261. Have you spoken with a lot of Ukrainians or at least a few, if they want to be "one people" with you? There is so much bitterness among them that Russians don't even care that people in Ukraine are bombed. And they rightfully ask if they could ever live again respectfully with such neighbors?!
    1
  262. Seriously ... the biggest military conflict in Europe since WW2. Now, get your world map and look up, which of the countries listed are in Europe?!?
