  1. With so many tornadoes and hurricanes, all houses in America should be built out of concrete or brick but then only the millionaires would be able to afford to buy a house. Profit is almost always a priority over safety in America.

  2. Crimea is not the only place with a warm climate. The mainland's Sochi, Gelendzhik and the whole of Krasnodar Krai also have warm climates (it does get snow in the winter but melts relatively quickly). Yaroslavl is north of Moscow, so it does get very cold. Just like America is not warm year-round everywhere, Russia is not cold everywhere.

  3. I'm still watching the interview you did with Arend. I was born and raised in Moscow but made the mistake of moving to America 24 years ago, and now all I can think about is moving back home. It will be challenging with our two boys with disabilities (thanks to American doctors), but I don't have much choice with our healthcare in America, which is beyond bad. Lack of safety in America is another reason for the move. I am subscribed to almost every English-speaking blogger who has moved to Russia and find new ones who are making the move. Many blessings to you and your family.

  4.  @donalkinsella4380 @donalkinsella4380 This is an unprovoked, senseless act of aggression. I've heard that a million times already. Yes, Crimea was part of Ukraine. Why did the people of Crimea want to join Russia? First, Ukraine's Parliament removed Russian as the second official language, barring its use in government and education. The Russian language has been spoken for centuries in Kiev and most of Ukraine, well before the Bolsheviks came to power. Do you know when Canada was founded? Canada is 157 years old. Well, Russian was spoken in most of Ukraine centuries before Canada began its existence, but because Uncle Sam, right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, decided that Ukraine should stay as far away from Russia as possible and paid its politicians to do this work, Ukraine started prosecuting those who did not want to lose its ties with Russia and the Russian language. Imagine that English speakers would do the same to the French speakers in Canada. That would never happen, right? But many thought that it was totally okay to do this to the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine. No, it is not okay. Staging a co-up paid for by a foreign government is NOT okay either. South-eastern Ukraine did not accept the co-up and the prohibition of the Russian language. They paid with their lives for it. Ukraine will never be part of NATO; no one in Russia will allow nukes at the Russian border; it is not going to happen. Ukraine gave up its nukes in 1991 and AGREED to be neutral politically, but of course, who remembers that, right? In 2014, Ukraine gave up its neutrality when politicians paid by the West came to power. Russia responded. Now, we are at the brink of WW3. STOP POKING THE BEAR.

  5.  @derpyeh9107  I looked online just for you, and here is what I found: Concrete currently is the only material that can hold up to severe tornados. For centuries, buildings constructed of brick have withstood the ravages of hurricanes, tornadoes, high winds, hail and punishing rain. When used in conjunction with modern building codes, brick homes can remain standing when others on the same block might be destroyed. (I am also a civil engineer by education and have common sense) As far as Russia is concerned, there are hardly ever any tornadoes or earthquakes in Russia, and there are no hurricanes.

  6. Разрушение страны начинается с неуважения к традициям и предкам, оно начинается с развала семейных ценностей и уничтожения духовности. Я живу в Америке 24 года. За это время страна очень сильно изменилась, хотя уже тогда видно было, куда всё идёт. Когда я приехала, не было радужных церквей (по крайней мере, я такое не помню), сейчас их становится всё больше. От моего дома в 10 минутах езды на здании церкви радужный флаг во всю высоту здания, не знаю, сколько там метров, это огромный флаг. Когда я приехала, в каждой тв программе не было принято приглашать нетрадиционные пары. Сейчас, в каждом выпуске передачи, скажем, о поиске жилья на 3 пары - одна радужная и так практически везде. Почти треть всей молодежи - радужные. Я не вижу будущее своих детей в этой стране.

  8. У Вас очень важный комментарий, поэтому я переведу для англоязычных. When a child is born, one of the parents can receive paid leave for up to 3 years to care for the child, which is why you see many women with strollers in parks (they don’t have to work; the state pays for them to stay home).

  9.  @donalkinsella4380  If a group of Russians MOVED to Florida????? KIEV has had ethnic Russians living there for centuries. Kiev WAS RUSSIA FOR CENTURIES with a predominantly Russian-speaking population, especially before the Bolsheviks came to power. Lenin was the one who founded a Ukrainian republic, may he bu-rn in he-ll. I did not read the rest of your comment either because it is clear to me that you know NOTHING about Russia and its history, yet you think you can argue with me and win the argument. You are comparing the incomparable, and I don't think continuing this pointless conversation is a good idea. I am done.

  11.  @alexbayer2365  I'll tell you this, at least 30 percent of Americans express a desire to leave the country but do not leave for the following reasons. 1. The IRS obliges every citizen to pay taxes to its treasury, regardless of their country of residence. 2. Americans are not told the truth about life in other countries. I only hear negative news about Europe and, of course, about Russia. 3. Their credit scores drop after leaving the country, and it takes a long time to restore them if the person wants to return to America.

  12.  @derpyeh9107  Yes, why would I bring up Russia? No reason at all. ANY concrete building is stronger than most American homes. I don't know what else to tell you.

  13.  @alexbayer2365  The United States does not keep track of emigration and counts of Americans abroad are thus only available based on statistics kept by the destination countries. 9,400,000 (2018, est.)

  16. Got to a point where you talked about marrying a Russian. It is a good idea not only for younger people but for people of all ages. Yes, it is mostly men who come to Russia through marriage, and those who do really enjoy living in Russia. It is important to find a wife who is fluent in English, though, so you know who you are marrying. Most men want traditional roles in the family when they are the heads of households. That's the biggest reason for the move for many.

  17. I believe you guys have a young daughter. Are you bringing her with you, or will you leave her with her grandparents in Russia? I think you guys would get so much more done if she stayed in Russia if your inlaws are able to take care of her. Just sharing some thoughts, not giving advice.

  18.  @alexbayer2365  If you are a U.S. citizen or resident living or traveling outside the United States, you generally are required to file income tax returns, estate tax returns, and gift tax returns and pay estimated tax in the same way as those residing in the United States.

  19.  @alexbayer2365  И, конечно, ютуб удалил мои ответы Вам. На английском сохранил, а на русском удалил. Показали бы они мне ХОТЬ ОДНО нарушение правил ютуба в моих ответах. Хоть одно. Наивные те, кто думает, что тут нет жесткой цензуры. А теперь мои ответы на английском тоже удалены. Ну и ладно. Значит, так надо.

  27. I am a Russian living in America. I've heard many Russians say they wished they were foreigners in their country because Russians almost always treat foreigners, especially from developed countries, much better than they treat each other. I know this for a fact. When I return to Russia, I might have to pretend to be a foreigner, at least occasionally, to be treated like royalty, LOL.

  28.  @alexbayer2365  Я Вам так скажу, не менее 30 процентов американцев изъявляет желание уехать из страны, но не уезжает по следующим причинам. 1. американская налоговая служба обязует платить налоги в свою казну каждого гражданина своей страны, не зависимо от страны проживания. 2. американцам не говорят правду о жизни в других странах. Я слышу только негативные новости о Европе и, разумеется, о России. 3. кредитный рейтинг сразу падает вниз после отъезда из страны и его приходится долго восстанавливать, если человек захочет вернуться в Америку. Америка научилась очень хорошо защищать себя от утечки населения, но с каждым годом больше и больше людей, благодаря интернету, который сложнее контролировать, узнают о жизни в других странах и уезжают из страны. Как Вы думаете, почему американское прав-во скрывает данные об эмиграции из страны? Я потратила полчаса, чтобы найти эту информацию на английском языке. Ее просто нет. Обычно, если есть информация на просторах интернета, у меня занимает меньше минуты ее найти. Зато в страну едут ВСЕ бедные из латинской америки и бедных азиатских стран, беженцы едут, где воен ные конф-кты. Европейцы даже боятся приехать в гости, не то что навсегда в Америку. Приехав в эту страну, россияне будут среди самых беднейших слоев населения бороться за выживание. И на кой это надо? Чтобы выжить физически? Не смешите мои тапочки. В любой даунтаун практически любого штата вы носа не покажете после наступления темноты. НИКТО вам тут не гарантирует безопасноть.

America has become very good at preventing Americans from leaving the country, but every year, more and more people, thanks to the Internet, which is more difficult to control, learn about life in other countries and leave the country. Who comes to America anymore? The Europeans do not even want to visit it. It is mostly poor people and refugees who move to America. When arriving in this country, Russians will be among the poorest segments of the population, struggling to survive. And why is this necessary? To survive physically? Don't make my slippers laugh. You know America is not safe, especially after dark in most downtowns.

  31.  @tatasto3809  За какими плюшками? Мой сын - высококлассный специалист, которых не хватает в России. У меня другая миссия. Вы в курсе, сколько русской молодежи либо уехало, либо хочет уехать из России в Америку? ВЫ будете им объяснять, какая жизнь в Америке или всё-таки больше поверят тем, кто в Америке жил ни один десяток лет и знает жизнь изнутри? Вот именно таким образом я и буду служить на благо России. Ясно? Я уже принесла пользу России тем, что где только могу, рассказываю о жизни в Америке, привожу статисти-ку, которую большинство Россиян в глаза не видели. Я уже приношу пользу и знаю, что именно из-за моих комментариев многие люди передумали уезжать из России. Такие, как Вы, которые не видят дальше своего носа, это не понимают и не поймут.

  36.  @tallguy6055 @tallguy6055 As a Russian, I drank unpasteurized milk as a child every day (from my neighbor's cows in the village where I'd spend my summers). You don't just randomly drink that kind of milk unless you know it is safe. Russia gets tornadoes and strong wings, but not as many as America, which is a blessing.

  37.  @tallguy6055  I never said that everyone in the cities should drink raw milk. It is not doable. All I am saying is that raw milk is better for you from a nutritional standpoint. Not all houses get hit by big objects during a tornado. Strong winds cause the most damage.
