  1. You're right. And i as a russian living in Russia completely understand this. I just hope Putin won't last long. I can live like that for a couple of months, but after that... idk what i'm gonna do.

  5. Здравомыслящие россияне с тобой, Роман. ❤

  6. Yeah they aren't really middle class, mostly relatively poor. Cameraman/sound guys are middle-class probably.
    46
  7. I personally do think so. It's pretty obvious.
    41
  8. It's impossible to talk about Russia without mentioning any politics sadly.

  9. ​ @FreshPine-cz2sq  He loves money, not Russia There's no way he doesn't understand what's going on and who's paying him

  10. Yeah i remember that, glad he stopped doing this shit

  13. Спасибо, Роман, что не молчишь.

  14. Fun fact: number of political prisoners in Russia right now is more than two times higher than it ever was in post-Stalin USSR.

  18.  @natemartinez2745  I think i'm gonna try to protest but they're literally stopped arresting criminals to free up space for the protestors here in SPb... Thank you for your words of support, but Ukraine needs them more right now.

  20.  @SweatyFeetGirl  No he's not. Putin is.
    10
  21.  @SweatyFeetGirl  He never was a nazi (but he was a nationalist), he never stole money (this case was fabricated by kremlin) and he never said such things about muslims. I know what video you're talking about and yes it is questinable, but it clearly wasn't about muslims in general. Again - Navalny isn't a criminal and never was a nazi. Putin is a criminal.
    10
  22.  @SweatyFeetGirl  So now you're just straight up lying. Understood.

  23.  @danielb270  or Putin

  24.  @jamesrowlands8971  Meduza is actually popular in Russia. We need to use VPN though. I actually donated to them before the SWIFT thingy happened.
    9
  25. Yeah man, it's not scary to put yourself in danger, but family is a different story... And it's even worse since Russia's population is relatively poor, so you getting arrested = losing money = potentially losing your job = putting your family & kids in a very bad situation

  26. Аквадискотека, пацаны!

  27. That's funny and all but the truth is that he would be better president than Putin. Actually anyone would. So i agree, Roman for president! And i'm saying this as a russian.

  29. Спасибо! Я очень горжусь своими англоязычными блогерами-соотечественниками.

  30. Частично согласен, однако суть в том, что наше государство любит показательные репрессии - когда сажают одного, чтобы другие боялись, и с крупными публичными фигурами это тоже может произойти. Это русская рулетка, в любом случае.
    7
  31. ​ @lalita9041  He can get public disrespect in Russia though once the war is over, well a lot of Russian youth already hates him a lot, once the regime is gone he can get "cancelled" quickly.
    7
  32. Naah, honestly i don't think putin has even a year at this point, more like months.
    7
  33. I also did Sputnik, had the worst headaches ever both times on the next morning. Nothing else. I have antibodies and feel safer now, but i would prefer Pfizer or Moderna if i had a choice.
    6
  34. ​ @Isaac-ho8gh  Dude, hes own life got destroyed so he's been talking about that, it's he's own vlog after all, he was pro-Ukraine from the beginning
    6
  35. PERKELE!!! :D
    6
  36. What?
    6
  37.  @chillsy_pluto  I don't care about his physical state. I just know how unhappy people around him currently are, and with every day they become more and more unhappy.
    6
  38.  @fromthefire4176  Sputnik was rushed more than any other vaccine (since it is the first registered covid vaccine in the world - Putin wanted another geopolitical "victory") and the company who made it did basically nothing before. So if there's any vaccine to be worried about - it is indeed Sputnik. I took it and everything was fine, but if i had a choice i would have got Moderna or Pfizer, because with them you don't need to re-vaccinate every 6 month. They have stronger and long-lasting protection. mRNA vaccines are great.
    6
  39. Btw as a russian i'm kinda surprised at the amount of support putin gets from abroad. Like from russians living outside Russia, some (not all) Serbians etc. My guess is: if you consume russian propaganda from abroad, you don't know what life in putin's Russia is actually like, you just have some fantasy idea about it, so you tend to support putin more. It's strange how it works.
    6
  40.  @natemartinez2745  Героям Слава! 🇺🇦 I thank you for not blaming regular russians but please don't stop talking about the war. I think apart from protests in Russia and donations towards Ukraine next important thing you can do is constantly talk about the crimes of Putin. It's very important to inform everybody so politicians in western countries would have no choice but stop buying gas/oil from Putin.
    5
  41. Yes. Does Roman support it though? He's not, in any way.
    5
  42.  @wesswise28  This cancelling thing will literally do nothing, only create more conflict. If you really want to change something - protest about EU buying oil/gas from Russia.
    5
  43. It was even worse during the 80's and 90's, so people are kinda used to it. Funny thing, 90's are considered the most "free" time in the Russian history, but it's also one of the worst. That's one of the reasons why people don't believe in democracy here btw.
    5
  44.  @JerryCrow  Ehm, what are you talking about? I definitely hate pootin, but ANY citizenship is better than NO citizenship. Roman is allowed to stay in Georgia ONLY because of the russian passport, otherwise he would be kicked out.
    5
  45.  @Kav.  Ok - fair enough - and still, complete dehumanisation to the point of editing in funny music (what Roman described here) is a dangerous path. In fact, russian soldiers are only on ukrainian territory rn.
    5
  46.  @WakeUpItsTimeToDie  Я в России
    5
  47. He already explained it 1000 times - he still wants to visit his family in Russia. Calling it a "war" can potentially lead to arrest right on the border. The word needs to be said in a particular context though, but nobody knows what that context is exactly (basically majority of putin's laws work like that - you can't say for sure if something is illegal or not until they arrest you).

  48. 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

  49.  @willpickering5829  Again, what are you trying to achieve? What's the end goal here?
    4
  50.  @willpickering5829  To ensure Putin's regime stability? That's it?
    4
  51. Yes, but in the Russian-speaking segment they were flooded with the same government-run propaganda, sometimes pretending to be regular vloggers/bloggers, sometimes not. And if you're openly anti-government vlogger/blogger, especially if you try to step into politics, you better be ready to have lots of troubles. So it didn't actually matter that much. + add the fact that majority of the population is apolitical and uses Youtube & other social media for entertainment and not politics. So it wasn't much of a threat to Putin. It is now though, so Youtube may be blocked soon. BUT... they can't block just certain channels or videos, they need to block the whole platform, and that'll cause troubles with google services as a whole, including Android-smartphones. So... Maybe they won't do it.
    4
  52.  @Crabbucke  Well, propaganda machine's been working in that direction for 8 years straight, so not surprising at all.
    4
  53. Well, there's actually no homeless people in the Moscow center nowadays.
    4
  54. As Navalny said, it doesn't matter if you'll vote or no, what matters is to agitate people against Putin.
    4
  55. As a russian i wanna say this: stop caring about us, that's our problem, distribute your energy in a smart way - fight against RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT and our STATE PROPAGANDA. I'm not in a position to give ukrainians advice on what to do, but if i was i'd say stop attacking Ovsyannikova, Nurlan Saburov or Max Katz, or even ordinary russians who repeat our state propaganda because they're too brainwashed - that will not make a difference. From my standpoint it seems like ukrainians are fighting the so called "good russians" or "normal russians" more than actual bad russians who are guilty for this mess. Sure, all russians are responsible, but fight those who are GUILTY before shitting on those who are RESPONSIBLE - this way you'll hurt putin more. Soloviev, Skabeeva, Goblin Puchkov and other tens of thousands russian propagandists should recieve your hate FIRST, in my humble opinion. But again, i'm not in a position to give advice here.

  56.  @frfoljek68  but there's nothing wrong about being a femboy i see some femboys here in Saint-Petersburg and they are pretty cool, mostly weebs and gamers

  58.  @koala.justakoala4287  Ah, the good old "good Russian is a dead or imprisoned Russian" mentality. How cute. Honestly, it doesn't trigger me anymore, at all. I just ignore such braindead takes.

  59.  @slavchick2602  Vlad Vexler has a lot of great videos about that if you're interested.

  60. He literally has no passport other than russian. And it's FAR from easy to get a different one.
    4
  61.  @JerryCrow  You know nothing about how passports work.
    4
  62. Roman's family is still in Russia and can't leave. If he starts speaking against Putin too openly he may put them in danger. Look up "Yuri Zhdanov" and his situation.
    4
  63. They were trying to ban "rainbow ice cream" lol
    4
  64. Wrong
    4
  65. It may be necessary for ukrainians and as a russian i respect that, but i actually see more of that from the west and not Ukraine.
    3
  66.  @gus2600  Well, he needs to make some videos about the war but he can't really do it because police will definitely knock on his door if he does (heck, they already might do it considering his previous video), remember that he lives in Russia. I guess talking about sanctions and life in russia during the war and showing how effective sanctions are is a good compromise. That's some useful info at least, right? I can't really blame Roman. But i'm also russian so...
    3
  67. There are lots of them, but nobody's giving them media attention because it's not important right now.
    3
  68. So you're ok with helping Putin?
    3
  69.  @willpickering5829  Well maybe you need an explanation... It only ensures political stability inside Russia & strengthens the Putin regime. The goal of sanctions was exactly the opposite.

  70. I'm pretty sure it doesn't really matter when used in other languages.

  71. Where r u from?

  72.  @max2000warrior  Some russian propaganda is actually smart. There's different layers to it, different people are doing it for different people.

  73. Piracy is huge in Russia, always has been. Well, not so much in the last couple of years before the invasion, but now it's huge again. We have a lot of good & safe torrent sites where moderators check for viruses, everything is named a certain way, split by categories, etc. etc. Take rutracker as an example. Obviously i'm not saying that piracy is good, it is bad, but Russians won't miss any movies, shows, games, music or anything else because they know how to access anything for free. That's one reason why gaming consoles such as Playstation or XBox aren't popular in Russia - it's way harder to pirate games there. So everyone's playing on windows PC.
    3
  74. The most appropriate place for that would be Ukraine. Oh wait...
    3
  75. Business in Russia? Well, good luck with that. Hope you won't end up in prison.

  76. He still wants to visit his relatives in Russia, he doesn't want to get arrested on the border.
    3
  77. ​ @kostya-m They pay taxes in Russia if they make money in Russia. Simple as that.
    3
  78. Roman's family is still in Russia and can't leave. If Roman starts speaking against Putin too openly he may put them in danger. Look up "Yuri Zhdanov" and his situation. Roman is showing us a real situation from russian POV and that's valuable as well. Stop your hate please.
    3
  79.  @caim3465  Yes and no. It was, but it wasn't THAT bad in the 90's. Vova is just making it worse every year.
    3
  80. He's self-censoring only because he still wants to visit his relatives in Russia. If you're using terminology that russian government doesn't approve of too much, you may be arrested right on the border.
    3
  81.  @koala.justakoala4287  Those who ever "fought the guards alongside these people" are either jailed or killed, so yes, your take is literally "good Russian is either dead or imprisoned Russian", it's not a meme, it's literally your position. 5,000 of Berkut police doesn't even compare to hundreds of thousands (literally) of national guard members & no doubt, if needed, an army. We literally need an army to fight all that. We don't have an army. Responsibility by association is one thing, guilt is another. Do what you want, i don't feel guilty and never will.
    3
  82.  @koala.justakoala4287  I'm not a hero and i'm not ready to die, especially in vain, that's true. There's currently three groups of people in Russia ~20% anti-war, ~10-15% Z-fascists and like 60% of apolitical confused swamp. 20% of anti-war is indeed a lot, but they are desorganized and spread throughout the whole (big) country, so unless we wake up those 60% of confused peeps there's literally zero reason to risk our lifes. 2024 presidential elections is a possible (and probably last) chance for big organized protests in Russia (yes, Russian elections are a big fraud, but still, they are an organizing force when people actually wake up, keep in mind what happened in Belarus after an election), so IMO we need to wait for 2024. Even if Putin cancels elections, it will cause a big turbulance. Unfortunately for Russians and especially Ukrainians, i can't see any changes happening before 2024. However, i highly doubt that putinism will survive 2024.
    3
  83.  @strafniki1080  That's how Putin is still being in power. So we, russians, should not fear.
    3
  84. They won't until putin's propaganda shuts down. Same in Russia. This propaganda machine is too rich & powerful & effective. The only way to fight it is to shut it down completely.
    3
  85. His whole family is in Russia, he wants to visit them sometime + Georgia declined his application, so he only has 6-month tourist visa, he might need to go back to Russia anyway.
    3
  86.  @Kav.  Nobody's saying that Ukraine/Ukrainians shouldn't do it - as a russian i'm convinced they can do anything they want to win. Just seeing that coming from westerners who support Ukraine is pretty weird to me.
    3
  87.  @berlineczka  I'm pretty sure a war/invasion is also technically a conflict. But since Roman can't say "those words" in his videos i agree that we SHOULD use them in the comments. So yeah, invasion is the most descriptive word.
    3
  88.  @captainbalderdash5412  Yeah, people have been doing it for years when value of life wasn't that important OR they were dying from hunger anyway. It's way different in 21st century in a country with educated people who don't die from hunger.

  89. Original flag, Lukashenko changed it in the 90's. I don't know why.

  90. They mostly let people choose between money and being fired. Being fired, especially in distant regions of Russia, means extreme poverty for you & your family.

  92. In fact, russian president hasn't changed for 22 years, not 14. (Medvedev doesn't count since he's putin's puppet) Also dictatorship has nothing to do with being right-wing. USSR was mostly left dictatorship. putin himself was more of a centrist-populist for his first 2 terms, but he's definitely right-wing right now, i agree. But Roman was comparing Poland to other developed european countries, not Russia - it's obvious that Roman doesn't like putin's Russia. But compared to, say, Czech Republic, Poland is very right-wing, with all the abortion laws etc. Hell, abortions are completely legal even in Russia.

  93. Watch Roman's video about polls in Russia and how it works.

  95. There's not that much ACTIVE pro-putin people left in Russia. There's a lot of paid ones, but they are government workers at this point, for example self-proclaimed "Cossacks" movement.

  97. This isn't it

  98.  @luisalfonso20  He's probably talking about putin, sadly. Most pro-russian foreigners are often times actually just pro-putin. And in my opinion, being pro-putin equals being anti-russian. For me, as a russian, this is really disturbing.

  99.  @kensukefan47  Alright, i can see your latest comments through my mobile app. You're defending putin everywhere. Good luck my boy.

  101. Oligarchs have no taste, Roman has some

  102.  @stevemcgowen  Keep in mind that in Russia most of the "vaccinated" just bought their "covid passport" from doctors without actually getting vaccinated (some say every third person). So situation is way worse than you think. Also official death stats are way lower than unofficial ones that are more believable.
    2
  103.  @stevemcgowen  Yep.

  104. There can only be guesses, what's the point The thing is: it's way less important than western media make it look.

  105.  @michaelslowmin  Too small of a target to make any kind of impact, so from CIA, FSS/FSB or SSU/SBU standpoint it's a complete waste of resources. Looks like a volunteering from either russians or ukrainians.

  109. Well tbf it's just a candidate status - it doesn't mean anything at all. They could be a candidate for 100 years or more, theoretically. I hope they will be accepted eventually, but i doubt it'll happen soon.

  110. Where did he support Russia?

  111. Ah, and you still can buy Steam & Epic Games keys. Not directly from them though, and it's a little more expensive.

  112. There's no Kazakhstan in the list, so no, he doesn't think so.
    2
  113. Elected? lmao

  114. ​ @Crabbucke  Oh, you're a Russian citizen with a Ukrainian last name? That's interesting. I think the West underestimates the amount of Russian-Ukrainians living in Russia.

  116. Perkele! (whatever that means, it's the only finnish word i know sorry)

  117. He's a typical authoritarian leader - he treats people as a danger. And treats Russia as his personal wallet for him and his friends. Sad, but true.

  118. Just some mad drunk. It happens sometimes, even when there's no war.
    2
  119. As a Russian i must say this video is least "problematic". They joke about the same stuff on Federal TV (government TV) sometimes...
    2
  120. 80% of Russian population live in the European part of Russia, west of Ural mountains. But Siberia is in Asia, yes, not so much culturally though and even ethnically. Buryats are probably the most Asian people of Russia.
    2
  121. For 6 months i think, yes. Same with vaccines - you have to revaccinate every 6 months if you want your QR-code. But... You have to prove you had covid, and it's ain't cheap.

  130. You can't be more wrong. My country now has more chances for a better future than ever before, because putin's regime is killing itself right now. Essentially putin commited suicide on february 24th. I know it's kinda weird to talk about better future for russia while innocent ukrainians are dying, but i believe without this mess putin's regime could've stayed for another 30 years wich is also a very tragic outcome. I'm glad EU finally woke up and decided to stop financing this monster. But let's be honest - the west should've done it in 2012 (Bolotnaya Protests) or after Crimea in 2014.
    2
  131.  @michaelbarbarich3965  I assure you, Russia has a lot of pro-democratic, anti-imperialistic, humanistically-oriented people and politicians. They are being silenced, threatened, jailed and even killed, a lot of them fled as soon as the war started. putin's machine of repressions is strong and full of money, but thanks to brave Ukrainians and western sanctions this might not be the case for much longer. putin built this system gradually for 20 years around himself, so it can't function without him - this isn't ideology-based USSR or something, this is personalist dictatorship, so as soon as putin's gone we will have a decent chance to turn things around. If you're interested in russian perspective on current events, i highly recommend checking out Max Katz (Максим Кац) and his channel - he started adding english subtitles to his videos recently (you need to turn them on though).

  136.  @vcprocles  oh yeah i remember it was hilarious

  137. Exactly. A lot of resources + factories from soviet times and yet we live like this. And it's 100% Putin's fault at this point.

  138. Ehm... It's EU, right? No chance a regular russian will get a permission right now.
    2
  139.    You can get a refugee status only if you were arrested for political views and documented it, anti-war and anti-putin views that is. Yes. I think it's completely normal and there shouldn't be a discussion about it.

  142. I'm pretty sure a lot of Ukrainians would consider Roman himself an FSB-agent and a so-called "good Russian", so i wouldn't advise him to touch this topic...
    2
  143. Yea it's all about elections & populism. Sadly, when it comes to support for Ukraine, it often times ends up being the same thing... Well, usually it's "lots of words of support to score political cookie point, but little to no action".

  144. Ah so that's why sushi with decent salmon became so expensive...

  145. He still wants to visit his relatives in Russia
    2
  146. I'm not Roman but as an average anti-putin russian i'll give you my answer. Before the war i doubt it might've happened in the near future because putin's regime was full of western money, but now Russia has a slight chance to become a democracy. Essentially putin's regime commited suicide on february 24th. I'm not happy about it since the war is not worth it, but it is what it is. Ukraine now has a chance to join the EU & become a great country, and Russia has a chance to get rid of this imperial plague.

  147. Max Katz actually did his own poll and it was 95% who refused to answer after hearing the question.

  150.  @yourgod010101  This government won't stay for long, i assure you.
    2
  151. But we literally did? Hundreds of big anti-government, anti-Putin protests since 2012, including big anti-Crimea annexation & Donbas war protests in 2014 led by Boris Nemtsov. A lot of them were crushed by force, leaders & protesters locked up or killed (some of them are in jail to this day). Russian TV & news were forced to be silent about all of this. The west did nothing, buiseness with Putin as usual.

  161. You definitely can visit some big cities and it can be enjoyable, but i wouldn't recommend going to the places Bald visits. I'm russian living in Russia and i'm scared of some of those places myself lol.

  162.  @Kav.  Yeah - you're in your 20's - and you've only seen putin's Russia. All that stuff didn't happen during Yeltsin's time (like, at all, completely nothing, zero). I don't see russian soldiers as my fathers/sons/relatives, i see them only as the worst kind of my compatriots. I felt pity for them during the first 2 weeks when they were thrown into Ukraine without any explanation - after that i slowly started hating them (and rightfully so). Again, i can see why some act like this, but still, dehumanisation as a concept in social media when you aren't directly at war (like Ukraine) is a direct first step to fascism & becoming putin's Russia #2. I understand why it happens, i just don't think it's a great thing.

  165. And then if he won't talk about it at all as you suggest, there will be 100 000 people complaining about him being silent. Whatever he does, he loses, unless he puts himself or his family in danger. Cool bro. What about millions of dollars for gas and oil coming from EU to sponsor putin's war? Yes, it is still happening, but problem is definitely Roman and his anti-war vlogs just because he still wants to visit his relatives in russia and so he's very careful with terminology (while we all understand what he really means). Bruh.

    2
  169.  @captainbalderdash5412  Yes i know that, but the fact is that it was even able to escalate. Putin wouldn't allow that. It's mass arrests right away and blocked roads/squares - people just can't gather anywhere to begin with.

People live way better in Poland, Lithuania etc. BUT i was talking about our local government in St. Petersburg to begin with, so what are you talking about exactly?

  192.  @enhifhupwq  What are you talking about? I'm just trying to understand why he said 200M. Maybe he also meant those russians who aren't in Russia.
    2
  193.  @enhifhupwq  Well, either way he's wrong. ~110M of russians live in Russia and ~25M outside, so ~135M in total. But tbh, 200M or 135M - it doesn't matter that much. Still a lot of people.

  194.  @the_orientalist-g1y  Я частично понимаю, что ты имеешь в виду - по уровню жизни две столицы (и ещё некоторые крупные города) опережают некоторые страны из списка. Но, беря во внимание текущую обстановку, я и сам не смог бы поместить Россию выше хоть какой-либо страны, а поскольку Роман тоже россиянин, думаю, у него такие же чувства. Откровенно говоря, по уровню жизни и Украина не заслуживает столь высокого места, но этот список не только про уровень жизни. С чем я в корне не согласен - твоё высказывание про геополитику. Внешняя политика - это про поиск союзников и экономических партнёров, а не про расширение территории государства. У нас сейчас во главе страны не геополитик, а обыкновенный шизик.

  204. How can you know why russians flee exactly? Also, how would you separate actual political immigrants from economical ones? And even economical immigrants hurt putin's ecomony, btw. "Sanctions are meant to have russian citizen feel the impact" eh, no? They are meant to hurt putin's war machine so he can't continue the war. "Revenge on russian citizens" mentality wouldn't work and it's destructive. Imagine if someone was fighting putin from 2012 (Bolotnaya protests) and now the whole world wants to hurt him and wouldn't let him leave Russia & escape putin's machine of repressions, that's kind of insane, right?
    1
  205. Btw, "revenge on russian citizens" and "let's hurt russians" approach actually helps putin and his propaganda.
    1
  206.  @YujiroHanmaaaa  >never ever have leave before invasion Well, maybe they flee exactly because of invasion? Seems logical, right? You don't want to pay taxes to putin and sponsor his war -> you leave Russia and pay taxes in a different place
    1
  207.  @YujiroHanmaaaa  A lot of them know why they get sanctioned. Attitude is "oh well, we can't do anything about it so let's continue living our lifes". People don't want to go to jail for protesting/stating their opinion.

  219. Germany after WW2 somehow did pretty good (relatively), considering they killed millions. I assume the US will do the same with Russia as it did with western Germany and will help grow it's economy back up, so that Russia would help with China later. Of course, after Putin & all his bootlickers go to jail.

  220.  @vaaramaissalsPicture  They can't be a democracy? Why? Germany after WW2 could.
    1
  221.  @vaaramaissalsPicture  I know Russia because i'm russian and i live in Russia. Russia actually was a democracy for a short period of time in the 90's, and before that it was pretty close to democracy from year 1136 to 1478 (Novgorod Republic), when Europe was nowhere near a democracy. Russian youth right now (30 y.o. and younger) are in majority anti-putin and pro-democratic and even pro-west if you will, look up Alexei Navalny and his movement for example. Also, there's a reason why putin's trying to pretend he's a democratic leader - people actually don't want another monarchy/dictatorship.
    1
  222.  @vaaramaissalsPicture  "why not act on it?" - repressions, propaganda, threats, if you try to organize big protests they just stop the metro, close all streets and arrest every one who's trying to go there. Putin's propaganda/repressions machine is full of money, they have LOTS of money, wich came... From the EU. Btw, in the 90's people actually "acted on it" and collapsed the USSR.
    1
  223. Also, Navalny is in jail only as long as putin is in power. And putin won't last long imo.
    1
  224.  @vaaramaissalsPicture  As Navalny said, there's no reason why Russia can't be a democracy - just look at North and South Koreas. They are the same people living under completely different regimes.
    1
  225.  @vaaramaissalsPicture  "next dictator" won't happen instantly because the whole system was built for 20 years around 1 person, and that is putin himself. Courts, FSB, police, army, oligarchs - everything works in balance just because 1 man is in power for more than 20 years. Btw, you say russians do "absolutely nothing" about it - it's a lie. And throughout history they always did something - they ended monarchy, they ended communism, now it's time to end autocracy.

  228. The reason why there's no protests currently (apart from huge repressions) is the fact that the lifestyle hasn't changed much. Prices are up but not dramatically, you can still buy most stuff & pay with your card etc.

They can't make RuTube & VK Video work as good as Youtube so 99% of Russians prefer Youtube, if they ban it, it would result in millions of Russians downloading VPN services & getting access not only to their favourite fashion & food blogs on YouTube, but also to all western media. Our government doesn't want that to happen. So i doubt they will ban YouTube unless the regime is about to fall.

  245.  @videooldlady  Youtube is google, an USA-based company with decent privacy protection + my account is empty. Here i can say that putin and a large percent of russian officials & army are war criminals and should face tribunal without getting myself in trouble. I can also say that the Russian Federation in it's current form is a terrorist state without getting in trouble. I write this everywhere for around 4 months (since Bucha happened) and i'm still fine. If they would ask me on the street - it's a different story, i would be careful of course. I should save myself until the day X happens, then i will help our democratic opposition (Navalny, Khodorkovsky, Kasparov etc.) to take power.

Roman isn't either, but he still wants to visit his relatives there, and who knows how long putin's regime will be able to survive, so i kind of understand Roman here. Yes, if you're using "wrong" terminology regarding the situation, they may arrest you. If you oppose putin too much, they may even go after your relatives in Russia (Ivan Zhdanov - Oleg Zhdanov situation).
    1
  259.  @raynekelly1386  Well, it's risky. The word "war" only matters if it's being used in particular context, and you can't exactly know what that context is - as with many laws in Russia created in putin's era, there's a big freedom of interpretation. I hope that explains why some use it and some don't.

  274. Oh yeah, another Russia-expert entered the chat. Dude, the only thing that can realistically happen is Chechen republic leaving. And everybody in Moscow will be happy about it (not joking). There are some regions in Siberia like Tyva and Buryatia that for the most part aren't ethnically Russian (they do have a lot of mixed families though), but they have no economy to speak of (yes, they don't even have lots of oil field or gas there) so their only choice for a decent life is to join China (is it really better though? They don't speak Chinese).
    1
  275.  @jesustyronechrist2330  I don't know what will happen, there's a lot of different scenarios, collapse of RF being one of the most unlikely ones. Almost as unlikely as Russia capturing Kyiv. And imperialism is bad, of course. However, Siberia didn't show any meaningful signs of separatism in the 90's after the USSR collapse, when economy was 1000 times worse and there was a chain reaction of "leaving the USSR" among republics. Since then they became even more ethnically mixed and economically dependant on other regions of Russia because of how market economy works (it's not only oil and gas, believe it or not, there are services and buiseness of different kinds). Do they like Moscow (politically)? No. Nobody likes Moscow in Russia. Do they want autonomy? Yes, definitely. Do they want to be a separate state? Some might, but definitely not a majority. Majority wants real federalism and real democracy, that's it. And people in Moscow also want it, and not an aggressive expansionism-driven empire.

  289.  @SgtxAnus  On the one hand you're right, but on the other what can regular russian do to change anything? At this point nothing - it's too late already. We had our chance to overthrow Putin in 2012 but we missed it (Bolotnaya protests). It's impossible to do since then - putin's police machine is way too strong.

  293. "you and all russians are dictators and communists bc putin is" is far more common western take than you might think. Believe me i'm anti-putin/anti-invasion russian living in Russia.

Considering what Roman's doing here - he said multiple times that he's talking about american (far) right movements & conservatives and he even said that it's not all of them.

  312. Those are the uneducated and poor people from the regions who are willing to kill people for money, no wonder some of them will be war criminals. It doesn't say anything about russians but says a lot about the current state of russia and the state of russian army. Also, that fact makes russian government & army generals 1000 times more guilty because they knew this would happen.

  313.  @vladbronnikov9813  I am russian living in Russia and i have to disagree. From what i see it's now closer to 50/50, and those 50% who actually support/neutral about it are brainwashed with propaganda, so they don't believe in russian war crimes etc. But other 50% are inactive not only because they are scared of being arrested/losing their job, but because they are convinced they are a minority, convinced not only by their state TV but also by the west and ukrainians, so they think they can't change anything and remain inactive. It's called atomized society and it keeps putin in power, sadly.

  314. Why does he always say "piss" at the end?
    1
  315. 2014 Crimea annexation is a great example. Sanctions were cosmetic.

  316.  @DarkOneCFH  Nope. It was Russia in the 90's image.

  317. He's russian not ukrainian

  318. It doesn't really work like that Big masses of people can't be that smart and strategic
    1
  319.  @winstonchurchill9467  Also, there couldn't be another Stalin because politburo replaced fully autocratic power (right after Stalin, for good reasons obviously) - so my thinking is that USSR would've collapsed near 1990 - 2000 either way, with Gorbachev or after him - politburo can't be too crazy like Stalin/Putin/Ivan IV just because it's more of a collective decision making.

  320. Most of those russians make money via internet so i don't think it would be a problem.

  321.  @sep0262  Believe me if they didn't have a stable income they would've stayed in Russia. Russia is pretty huge in IT.

  322.    Nope, most arrests are for 15 days. You can get a refugee status after that.

  323. Eh, in reality you can.

  324. You're confusing ethnicity with nationality.
    1
  325. I'm Russian and i'm not pro-war or pro-putin, but i can explain vatnik's mentality. They have as much nukes as USA, so they have to crush the evil west until it's too late. Especially USA. They see themselves as saviors of the world bringing the new world order where USA's policies would stay in Canada+Western Europe+Australia max, while Russia/China would rule the rest of the world. It's more about the USA than Ukraine or anything else.

  326. He's been anti-putin for years. Even before the invasion.

  327. He has a gopnik plushie now

  328. Eh, if you're very conservative maybe i get your point, BUT it was relevant until mobilisation. Now living in Russia is too dangerous since they can send you to the frontlines.

  329.  @shipovnik89  I hope so, since i am Russian and i currently live in Russia. If they come after me i'll show them your comment.

  331. He's choosing his words carefully

  332. Жыве Беларусь! Лайк Роману!
    1
  333. Nah it doesn't really work like that. Plus he was in Saint-Petersburg, putin avoids getting his troops from big cities - it's poor & distant regions in absolute majority (more than 90% of all troops). People would be mad if coffins start coming into big developed cities, so putin avoids that - he's kind of smart in an evil way.
    1
  334.  @signe_stilett  Nah, i still think you need to be Ukrainian to do that. Remember: Roman is Russian. I don't want him to get 1000 comments about how he as well is a putin's puppet pushing kremlin's narrative about "good russians" into the western brains. Let the Ukrainian youtubers discuss this topic.

  339. Putin won't nuke anyone. He's too scared of his own death.

  340.  @ExcessCongruence  Roman at least did SOMETHING. Roman still has relatives/family in Russia and wants to visit them sometimes. Not everybody's situation is the same.
    1
  341. But he is though
    1
  342. I'm russian - i assume it won't be anything big - putin can't do anything at this point. he has pretty much no economy, pretty much no army and very small % of people in russia actually want to fight and die for putin (like, pretty much 0) Also his generals & closest friends won't let him use nukes - they also don't want to die So... i don't know how and when, but putin will lose sooner or later
    1
  343. Yeah it's closer to 50/50 or 40/60.
    1
  344. Your username fits well
    1
  345. One small example: he won't pay his taxes to putin by living in Georgia.
    1
  346. That's one way to give putin ACTUAL 90% support instead of a fake 90% support.
    1
  347. In fact he wants them to have more, since he needs more population

  348. Stockholm Syndrome at it's finest.

  349.  @k.v.7681  Well, in case with those propaganda artists - it is just greed on their part.
    1
  350. Thing is, there are not many conscripts in Ukraine. Maybe there will be more later, but it's a pretty small %. Definitely less than 1/10. Most of them are still inside Russia.
    1
  351. He's in Georgia right now, so he's safe.

  352. Navalny is actually very popular in Russia. I'd say more popular than any of the guys you mentioned.

  353.  @pietrolauria9001  dude i know who they are, i'm russian living in Russia.
    1
  354. Change the russian government and start doing anti-propaganda un-brainwashing tv shows. That's all. You fight TV with better TV.
    1
  355. Navalny's team are willing to do that btw.
    1
  356.  @koala.justakoala4287  But I wasn't silent since i hit 18? And what would my protest do now, exactly? Nothing. I'll just be in jail and that's it, like Yashin or Navalny, except nobody would even write about me or know about me. Currently in Russia you can only protest alone, there's literally 0% chance to organize anything, as soon as you post about organizing it - police is already there and taking people 1 by 1 as they come.
    1
  357.  @koala.justakoala4287  Fighting with OMON is a self-sacrifice, nothing else. Objectively. Also, people hate violence & violent protests, so they tend NOT TO JOIN violent protests, not "join them only when it becomes violent". Your logic is completely flawed. Actually, you're exactly repeating Kremlin's propaganda tactics here.
    1
  358.  @koala.justakoala4287  Nope, not because people didn't back off, but because they saw an opportunity to actually succeed. There's no such feeling in Russia, hopefully, it will appear near 2024.
    1
  359.  @koala.justakoala4287  2024
    1
  360.  @koala.justakoala4287  It won't be punishments and it won't be reparations. Reparations are only possible if you conquer Moscow and it won't happen. Otherwise it's a voluntary compensations and not reparations. And punishments... What are those "punishments"? It's a weird term, not exactly sure what you mean by that.
    1
  361.  @koala.justakoala4287  Also, do you really think you're encouraging protests in Russia by spreading such messages? If anything, you're only helping Putin and actually, IMO, hurting Ukraine. Just look at what you did: "protests in Russia won't happen", "we hate you, you're all guilty", "you and your offsprings will be PUNISHED" It doesn't even make sense. If protests in Russia won't happen and it's all "hoping and coping", then how will Ukraine win exactly? What reparations are we talking about then? It's a war for 10-20 years to come if protests in Russia won't happen. Putin has enough resources to make & buy basic rockets and drones for DECADES.

  362.  @koala.justakoala4287  I have my position on this issue, but i won't reveal it to you.

  364. @Kal17 I have some suspicion Koala may be Russian. Prigozhin's bots love pretending to be Ukrainians & demoralize Russians.
    1
  365. It's not easy. Putin was doing everything from the start of 2000's to avoid that. Before destroying other countries putin destroyed any political life in Russia.
    1
  366.  @Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968  Hmm... Putin & his TV only celebrates WW2 victory but not the revolution, not really. Since he came in power it became less and less of a celebration. Anyway, another revolution is not impossible, but ONLY after his machine of repressions loses decent amount of money. So... Sanctions. More sanctions please. And i'm saying this as a russian living in Russia. Oil & gas embargo should be done and fast.
    1
  367. Actual russian culture is mainly anti-war right now. Even Пугачёва is anti-war, also Little Big and many more. It's just some miserable old & irrelevant stars doing it for money.

  368. Don't forget Max Katz. He's a friend of Varlamov's but far more political.

  369.  @simonacinghita7719  He's doing english subs by the way. Highly recommend.
    1
  370. he is
    1
  371. No way. Putin won't be able to start another war after Ukraine. And if you ask me, putin has a couple of months left and then Russia will experience huge democratic change.
    1
  372. This. As a russian myself, i 100% agree.
    1
  373. He already talked about it - he still wants to visit his family in Russia so he can't be too vocal. A reminder: up to 15 years of jail for calling it a war
    1
  374. From a russian POV (my pov) actively simping for Ukraine may be beneficial if you're in the EU/US/EN since democratic governments there NEED public pressure in order to continue providing weapons to Ukraine. And letting Russia win here is a direct path into more wars later.
    1
  375.  @JerryCrow  Georgia was literally invaded by Russia and 20% of it's territorry is occupied, so it's very much an anti-russia & anti-putin state. And yet, russian citizenship still works there, as it should. Because the world is more complicated than you think. Regular citizens doesn't equal the government. Regular citizens doesn't equal war criminals. Regular citizens doesn't necessarily support the whole thing. True russian patriots protest & go to jail (they would never burn their passport). Your analogy with nazi germany doesn't work because regular german citizens weren't condemned & considered nazis after the war.
    1
  376. See? No official war declaration even now. You know why? (Some) Russians support this "patriotic" BS theater on the TV called "Special Military Operation Against Nazis" and not an actual war. Putin can't officially declare anything because he fears his own people. He can't use nukes because he fears for his own life. He can't do anything at this point but lose, and now he will try to prolong his time. Your job is to ensure your western politicians won't back off like Macron, since you actually have some influence on your country politics. I'm russian and i'm not ready to go to prison yet since i'm no hero, but i think my job is to educate some people like you on what's actually going on - RIGHT NOW YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING TO STOP THE WAR - any sanctions are possible now. You can even use your military to free Ukraine, you can even kìll putin at this point. He can't do anything - he already lost.
    1
  377. Lmao actually true

  378. A couple of years... Not 30+ years.

  381. Are professional killers that helpless though? I'm pretty sure if done in a sneaky way nuclear threat isn't an issue.
    1
  382.  @ralucachelaru9541  I'm from Russia and i'm 100% sure this won't result in a nuclear disaster. People around Putin are afraid of nukes and they probably would be happy if he just "vanishes".
    1
  383. When it's going for 20 years from all possible sources (all TV channels, radio stations, newspapers and now even all not-blocked online media) some ppl who don't want to think critically might believe some of it. Mainly old guys + low education folks.
    1
  384. Because not being half-ukrainian is pretty uncommon in ru. Also, there's a lot of examples of half-jewish reasonable russians, look at Max Katz or Garry Kasparov. Mikhail Khodorkovsky is pure russian i'm pretty sure, more than half of Navalny's team are pure russians. Also, if you have relatives in Ukraine it's easier & faster to break through putin's propaganda & lies, obviously.
    1
  385.  @ukaszwalczak1154  And Stalin was georgian. Doesn't mean that all georgians are bad, right? Same as Hitler & germans.

  389. It will be a suicide for Putin, so here in Russia we don't believe he's actually gonna do anything. He just manipulates western leaders so they would talk to him that way.

  395. Eh, only small % left. But those who left can at least talk freely & spread their message, including spreading it among russians. A lot of those who left already talked enough to end up in jail on return, and you say it's right to send them back? Also, a lot of those who left had enough money to leave - a lot of them are IT guys etc., sending them back would fill up putin's economy. If you think you can FORCE people into violent revolution, think twice.

    1
  401.  @captainbalderdash5412  They didn't have Putin in power also. Look at Lukashenko and Belarus - Lukashenko is way closer to Putin in terms of repressions.
    1
  402.  @captainbalderdash5412  The reason why Ukraine succeeded is that it was already pretty close to democracy with free media etc, and also Yanukovich didn't have such power as Putin or Lukashenko.
    1
  403.  @captainbalderdash5412  "if i was russian, i would blah blah" - yeah, you know how arrogant you sound? Russia is a peak autocracy with a lot of factors in play. Come live here for a couple of years and then we'll talk. Or better yet, come here with your whole family. Reminder: 15 years of jail for calling it a war and not "special operation"
    1
  404.  @captainbalderdash5412  Also, it all escalated after Yanukovich ran away. Lukashenko didn't run and mass protests eventually died off due to mass repressions. Putin obviously has nowhere to run now.

  412.  @dzhellek  it may be related to the number 2, because some sources (mainly russian) say that invasion was originally planned to start on 22.02.2022 in 2:22. Kremlin likes numerology.
    1
  413.  @krunoslavkovacec1842  that's why some people in Russia continue to believe in putin's propaganda btw, because they know if they disagree they gonna have a mental breakdown. Max Katz made a video about this exact issue yesterday.
    1
  414. You're delusional
    1
  415. He still wants to visit his relatives (parents) sometime. What if putin stays in power for another 10-20 years?
    1
  416.  @YouYubeEnjoyerNum1  Yeah. Your point being?..
    1
  417.  @YouYubeEnjoyerNum1  Well, Navalny also used some racial slurs, but it doesn't make him less of an opposition to putin, right? Being in opposition to putin doesn't equal not using racial slurs, especially considering that Navalny is half-ukraininan and Roman also has a ukrainian ancestry from Odesa. If you've watched Roman for at least last 4-5 years you would know he's been anti-putin. So no, it is not a lie on his part. In short - if you're ukrainian - yeah, i can understand your points and i respect that. If you aren't ukrainian i don't really understand why you're so salty here.

    1
  421. Yeah, basically
    1
  422. But russians do protest. Level of political repressions is insane though. Basically if you go to protest you 100% guaranteed end up in jail (from 15 days to 15 years) and lose your job.
    1
  423.  @PrypjatFox  Well then go ahead, come to russia and protest.
    1
  424. Well, yes. Dehumanizing as a concept is bad. It's a propaganda & manipulation tool and nothing else.
    1
  425. Judging by the channels you're subbed to you're ukrainian, and dehumanizing is a big part of ukrainian war propaganda, it's relatively OK in that particular case. There's no other option sadly. But when westerners start doing it - it's unnecessary and can backfire.
    1
  426.  @Gambol_25  I'm not concerned about their wellbeing. Dehumanizing as a concept is still bad though, if there's an option you better off treating them as an evil enemy who deserves death, but not as not-humans - it will be better for YOUR OWN mental health & your own future, and if you're on the battlefield - your own safety. I know a guy from Kharkiv (he's fighting rn) who's fully in support of this mentality - i'm basically speaking his words.
    1
  427.  @Gambol_25  That's understandable, but i do hope you also realize this isn't healthy & not normal. But again, it's understandable considering what russian soldiers did & continue to do, especially coming from ukrainians.
    1
  428.  @Gambol_25  "When you spend so long trapped in darkness, you find that the darkness begins to stare back." It's a sad thing. Just curious, do you believe in God?

  432. I'm not a fan, but a lot of people admire Oxxxymiron .
    1
  433. Eh, you might be surprised, but there's actually more people like Roman in Russia than true Z-patriots, if we overlook the apolitical majority. They just don't have a voice (well, we can count Navalny and Yashin who are in jail maybe), while Z-people are given all possible instruments including TV, troll factories and government money.
    1
  434. He can't because he still wants to visit his family sometime. Also, if he starts being too vocal, he may put them (his family) in danger. Happened to Ivan Zhdanov and his dad Yuri Zhdanov (who's now in jail).
    1
  435. Nothing special, usual eastern-european authoritarianism Very typical post-communist government
    1
  436. Yes, and guess what? Putin was one of the mafia members! Well, he was protecting them.
    1
  437. Russian media doesn't talk about it
    1
  438. Remember when Putin said "borders of Russia are endless"? I guess for them every culture/religion is traditional Russian.
    1
  439. If only putin actually cared about sanctions
    1
  440. ​​ @henning8737  Well, it depends really. Don't share your opinion on politics would be a great advice (unless it aligns with Kremlin's world view). Otherwise it's probably gonna be safe.
    1
  441.  @henning8737  Well, our authorities have a tendency to touch only those who "stand out" too much, for example have a blog with large audience, participate in political activism, share their opinion etc, and even then they just deport you in 99% of cases. So... Yes it's relatively safe. BUT. I would still wait until the war is frozen, it is a good idea to wait a bit.

  448.  @mbrenneman0411  He mentioned some stuff in his previous videos. I don't think he will be making a whole video about it - right now is not the right time

  450. 1st and it's a bad take, obviously
    1
  451. I did not read your whole message, i laughed out loud at "vote putin out" and stopped reading. We are 10000000 times more likely to kill him than vote him out, his whole regime is built around the fact that you can't vote him out.
    1
  452.  @TyGoesFast  He can't be too open about the war in Ukraine because of censorship laws so it would be weird if he starts to actively fight with hate against russians. It would seem like he works for putin or something. Right now is not the right time. Once the war is over & putin loses he may address this issue.

  459. These aren't Z-Russians portrayed here, this is just regular poor clueless Russians. They don't really care about any ideas, they just want some money to survive. This doesn't excuse them of course, just makes the situation a lot more sad.

  460.  @east-efficiency  Ehm... That's how it is - they check your criminal record on the border (in the airport) and if you have an opened case they arrest you.
    1
  461. You gotta understand, even russians that support pootin are mostly the victims of his propaganda. Sure, Ukrainians are the true victims here and all attention should be on them, but we shouldn't fight agression with agression if we are NOT on the battlefield. We should support ukrainians & help normal russians fight with putin & his propaganda.
    1
  462. Even those who support it, they can't see the whole picture through the lens of russian propaganda. In fact, they see the opposite.
