  1. 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.

  2.  @Crabbucke  Well, propaganda machine's been working in that direction for 8 years straight, so not surprising at all.

  3. Well, there's actually no homeless people in the Moscow center nowadays.

  4. As Navalny said, it doesn't matter if you'll vote or no, what matters is to agitate people against Putin.

  5. 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.

  8.  @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.

  10. He literally has no passport other than russian. And it's FAR from easy to get a different one.

  11.  @JerryCrow  You know nothing about how passports work.

  12. 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.

  13. They were trying to ban "rainbow ice cream" lol

  14. Wrong

  15. 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.

  16.  @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...

  17. There are lots of them, but nobody's giving them media attention because it's not important right now.

  18. So you're ok with helping Putin?

  19.  @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.

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

  23. 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.

  24. The most appropriate place for that would be Ukraine. Oh wait...

  25. Business in Russia? Well, good luck with that. Hope you won't end up in prison.

  26. He still wants to visit his relatives in Russia, he doesn't want to get arrested on the border.

  27. ​ @kostya-m They pay taxes in Russia if they make money in Russia. Simple as that.

  28. 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.

  29.  @caim3465  Yes and no. It was, but it wasn't THAT bad in the 90's. Vova is just making it worse every year.

  30. 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.

  31.  @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.

  32.  @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.

  33.  @strafniki1080  That's how Putin is still being in power. So we, russians, should not fear.

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36.  @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.

  37.  @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.

  38.  @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.

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

  40. 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.

  42. 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.

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

  45. 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.

  46. У него уже много лет такие взгляды. И я свои тоже изменил постепенно. Этот год особенно хорошо открыл глаза на реалии путинской России.

  47. This isn't it

  48.  @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.

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