  1.  @imperialik  Who taught you that having empathy requires a person to stop enjoying life? Almost sounds like you have little experience with empathy.

  2. 👍 You're an exact representation of why Poland is a cool country today. (Not perfect, cool. Perfect isn't out there anywhere.)

  3.  @СергейМонин-д7с  It's the opposite. Russia is a spin-off from Ukraine.

  4. ​ @overseer7385  "Ukraine also did horrible things in Donbass" Bro, they did battle with armed separatists backed by Moscow. They didn't go hunting harmless Russian speakers. Wtf would Russia do if there were militant Ukrainians in Belgorod trying to split it off to join Ukraine? Who t.f. started this shit in 2014? Russia. Show some pride, man. Don't let anyone poison your mind. :)

  5.  @crescencianominas2387  Yes! Nuclear is great, coal is a terrific temporary expedient. American and other LNG is arriving in large quantities by ship. Rich, well-organized Europe will look after itself just fine. Poor, poorly-run Russia faces bleak decades ahead, and is making an incredible mistake running into the arms of China. (Xi: "Come to papa, my poor little one. Papa will take care of you. Heh-heh-heh.")

  6.  @user-lv5bt3nt3r  Perhaps oddly, I never think of it as Russia proper. To me it's like the Guam of Russia, not that that makes it a mere footnote. But sure, if you like, it's another border with NATO. I also left out the tiny Russia-Norway frontier.

  8. Perhaps you could've mentioned to every person that China and India voted yes on the UN resolution.   (Also Brazil, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Vietnam...)

  9. Yeah, she's brilliant. The child of very smart parents, obviously, and grandparents too. An able mind doesn't come out of nowhere.

  10. For a couple of years my very quick friend, about 30 years of age, made hundreds of dollars every day playing poker online. To do this he adapted his schedule to when lots of Russians were playing. His reason, and the reason, according to him, that he made so much money: Russians very seldom fold.

  11. That's true. Sanctions are slow poison, not a sword.

  12. Germany attacked the USSR: "This violated previous agreements, so we can conclude that we were not allies." Her husband cheats on her:  "This violated previous agreements, so we can conclude that we were never married."😂

  13.  @imperialik  Just as I thought, you know zero about empathy. And from the sound of it I don't think you really understand what's wrong with hypocrisy either.

  14. "Even if your country is not right during the war, you must not talk negatively about it." Then the man or boy who said this must surely not resent the German public during WWII for their support of their leader. By his own moral standard of patriotic duty he has to admire them. Indeed, the punishment Russians dealt to German women and girls must greatly disturb him, for they were noble patriots themselves. Correct?

  15. Vladimir, 53: "The inviolability of private property came to us from the West!" Response: "What about the theft of entire countries? Is that ok?" Vladimir: "Of course it's ok, If Russia does it. Don't you have any harder questions than that? In a thousand years Russia has never done anything wrong. Have a nice day!"

  17. Anastasia [my paraphrase]: "Russia invades whomever it likes. It is liberation. If they want to call it occupation, well, that's their opinion." 😂 By that logic a man could assault her and say it was true love. She would then say, "No, it was violence." To which he would reply, "Well, that's your opinion."

  18.  @user-lv5bt3nt3r  Poland borders on Belarus. You're thinking of the USSR.

  19. By 'integrated' do you mean 'sent in to take up a lot of land, move into the nicer houses, and start running things,' by any chance?
    16
  20. "They aim to dismantle a large, powerful nation." "They dislike such a powerful nation." 😂Once again I'm reminded of the classic SCTV skit What Fits Into Russia. (Two hilariously worthwhile minutes of Russian jingoism starring Dave Thomas.)

  21. Tsar.

  22. Don't take it at face value. Most of the time it's defensive and not actually true. If you lived there you might say such things too. Bonus speculation: If you start young and talk like that enough times, you might end up authentically being that way. Everybody thinks behaviour—for instance what you say—reflects belief, but a lot of the time belief follows behaviour.

  23.  NAFO_POWER  Countless Europeans are admirers of Klimt. So he spent $100 on a print, so what? You showed up here to post over and over trying to destroy Daniil's reputation over ridiculous nothings. But we know why accounts like yours show up.👎

  24. Hannibal Lecter: "Agreed. I would avoid him."

  25. Reminds me of someone I know who made crap-tons of money playing poker online, specifically targeting Russian players by time of day. He told me they bluff and never fold, carrying on until they're out of money.

  26.  @Fujin-wr1qm  You're entitled to your pet fears, prejudices and imaginative scenarios. I won't involve myself in entertaining them. It would be too much like a conversation with the excitable Vladimir Solovyev.

  27. #85 at 8:42 underrated herself outrageously. My favourite face here, yet adamant that she's not beautiful. Surely it was just reflexive good manners?

  28. "It's dangerous here." Yeah, that's what people on a vacation want: plenty of danger.😄

  29.  @ludovitstur9045  You say Russia is stuck in the 19th century. I'd say it definitely has one foot parked around 1740.

  30.  @mitchyoung93  That's not what PPP adjusts for. It adjusts for the price of things in local currency vis-à-vis the market exchange rate, which has nothing to do with "inflated values of thin[g]s like real estate, insurance, etc." In simple terms, it 'corrects' for bizarre exchange rates. Things like house prices that are sky-high in local currency sail through the PPP calculation completely unaffected, no matter how much (or little) difference they might make to a potential purchaser with foreign currency.

  31. The kid who said "burger" stole my heart and made my day. Just priceless. 1420, you're doing a great job in every way. 👏

  32. Quite a bit of good chat. Your open manner put people at ease, it appeared.

  33. Another way to put it: "You don't oppose the government or how things are, and they leave you alone = Freedom"
    14
  34.  @СергейМонин-д7с  Hilarious. Actually Russia gets a freedom score of 20, between Congo and Vietnam, and lower than Kazakhstan at 23. Ukraine gets 60.

  35. Proposed question: "What do you think happens if Putin doesn't wake up tomorrow?"
    14
  36.  @everready800  That pipeline was never going to go into service anyway. Europe is done with Russia. So the West couldn't care less about it at this point, as it's now a pipeline to nowhere. So Putin surely did it simply for the sake of generating opinions like yours. (Anyway, it could simply be repaired if somehow relations were ever restored in decades to come.) Non-issue.

  37. Simple eloquence; clear, sober and penetrating. Thanks, Dorian.

  38. ​ @RockyB2b  "[S]anctions have failed." No one claims sanctions are a sword. They are economic slow poison. Patchy sanctions on South Africa over apartheid began in 1962 but were not ramped up by major powers until mid-1984. Lo and behold, six years later, citing economic instability, South Africa released Nelson Mandela. Apartheid ended a year later. In the case of Iran, it is very difficult to assert that the current unrest could arise amid prosperity. North Korea's intransigence despite heavy sanctions is easily explained: China relishes North Korea much as a drug dealer adores his pit bull, and so maintains it in good health. It could be imagined that China will do the same for Russia, but there is little evidence of that at present. It does buy Russian oil, but it does so in the manner of a frenemy. It pays so little for it that Russia makes scanty or no profits from the sales. The resulting lack of reinvestment capital likely means production will fall, since it is a fact of the oil business everywhere that maintenance is expensive and old wells are always running dry. So even China's 'support' looks like slow poison. It probably likes the idea of a weak Russia about as much as the West now does.

  39. Always top-quality discussion, humor, thought, analysis and all the rest. Penetrating questions plus incisive and challenging follow-ups. Great editing, pacing, translation, subtitles, camera work, graphics, bla-bla-bla. [yawn] Frankly, it's all becoming a bit boring. Can we please have stupid trash once in a while? 😂 Just kidding. Thanks very much, Daniil, Artyom and everybody at 1420. Keep it up! — DP, a happy subscriber

  43. 👍Daniil, you're terribly young to have such skill at being serious and amusing at the same time. 👏👏 Quite uncommon. (But I've seen it multiple times among people both of whose parents are professors.) Carry on! And promise to stay in the public eye for decades. We need serious-and-amusing to keep us on this earth.

  44. Excellent interviewing, camera work, video quality, sound quality, music, editing, translation, graphics…the works. This kind of thing is never done better.

  45. He could be a famous or semi-famous DJ or musical performer. There's a reason Putin made an example of P. Riot. It was to scare other people in the same line of work and related ones. It could also just be a matter of "I'm starting out, I'm a little bit known, and I wanna have a career, dude."

  46.  @mitchyoung93  Try to read more carefully. The term "vis-à vis" was important for proper comprehension there. Also, try not to say "LOL". It makes you sound about 13.

  47. Btw, English Montrealers think they're the holders of that title and I think they're right. (William Shatner, Leonard Cohen, Dick Pound, Oscar Peterson, Glenn Ford, Stephen Pinker, Mordecai Richler, e.g.) Gorgeous accent.

  48. A lot of replies that he'll stay for a long time (decades, forever), as though he's 45 or 50. 🤨 But he turns 70 in two months.

  49.  @fukpoeslaw3613  Political freedoms, including freedom of speech, past 10 years (imo): UK: Approx. 9.6 ---> 9.3 Russia: Approx. 4.5 ---> 3.5 I love how you employ the word problem in such an egalitarian fashion! 😂 Such a fair man.

  50.  @redford4ever  Current Russian GDP growth is phantom growth. Massive war spending registers as higher GDP. But it will evaporate when the war stops, Russia being left with a withered private sector, meaning lower GDP. As for German "stagflation," its inflation is 2.0% vs. Russia's (official) 8.5%.
