  1. Putin is God. Obama is Evil. Gayrope is going to Hell. <copy><paste>

  2. It’s very strange for me as a Russian that like 90% of apartments for rent in Europe(CZ , DE)have no furniture so you have to invest in furniture in your temporary place , in Russia it’s completely opposite tenants don’t want any expenses except for some small things like kettle or towels.

  3. Yeah no rule of law is one of the main reason why I left. Even if you are not related to any of political protest you just can’t plan your life or your business you can be arrested for let’s say “fraud” allegations get your business extorted from you and spend like 10 years in prison for the same stuff your neighbour doing every day. I mean is it worth it? Yeah there are some opportunities but there are no reasons to be law abiding in an environment like that where you can’t clearly say how you gonna get fckd up. Kafka-esque country if you will.

  4. You can’t really compare these projects in Russian big cities to so called “projects” in the US, these hoods will look hella suspicious for every suburban American but they are actually quite safe and clean. People living there do work actually and make more than average in most cases.

  5. LOL I basically moved to another city and my parents ignored every military guy coming into vicinity of their household until I'm 27.

  6. bald and bankrupt where are you lazy bastard go back uploading new videos yo

  7. Russia is now like #1 VPN and crypto country in the world. If you do it slowly (restrictions)people gonna improvise adapt overcome. Probably the first “parallel state” gonna declare independence by the Russians just because the primary one becomes too dysfunctional.

  8. I was in Georgia 2 weeks ago everyone were good with me, he just has to learn “Putin she khleo khle pirschi muteli scheveci” and he gonna be alright LOL, an Ukrainian colored cap or a bracelet will help too.

  9. - Can I have a cup of cappuccino and a bagel? Waitress: -You know Ruruk has passed his kingdom to Prince Oleg who was a regent of Igor….
    56
  10. Something is really happening, he's changing the laws to "protect ex-president and his buddies" like there is no tomorrow
    49
  11. Mick B climate-wise it's more like Northern California on average, it's much warmer than England from April through November. If you visit Sochi in February that's what you get often cold and windy(no snow though)
    48
  12. Coconut212 I think ruskies don't sitting on welfare unlike other immigrants from the Middle East or Africa. It's outrageous that those people are more welcomed in Eastern and Nothern EU counties than ruskies who don't want any government help just to be allowed to live in civilized country.
    43
  13. Actually I saw almost no Z symbols in Moscow this September. Even the car owners don’t want to wear the ribbon on their windshield(I’ve counted like 5% of cars wearing way less than in January. Aside from some rare building in city center Z was actually rare.
    43
  14. Gerard Depardeu , Steven Seagal, Roy Jones all those new Russians you should make a video about them!
    37
  15. Yep if you consider “normal”=“regular” but at the same time it’s hard to tell if this model of society is “sustainable” wasting so much of a talent and human potential in the 21st century when it becomes so important just to preserve old neo-feudal models based on selling natural resources. I believe countries won’t be able to afford their current ineffective and corrupt governments even in those western countries not to say Russia.
    37
  16. Ivan Matias Isasi Astigarraga because he finally made it outta the hood I mean Soviet Russia
    37
  17. Taxes is not that straightforward though, first if you have an average Russian salary of $600 per month it's 13% personal tax but in many developed countries salary that low is not even taxable, second , your employer is paying something like 43% to be able to pay you your $600 per month minus 13%....I would prefer people paying more and businesses(at least independent small and medium sized)paying less so people demand more for their taxes from the government, but government crooks don't like that idea.
    32
  18. I have lived in the outskirts of Moscow for more than 10 years. I regularly walking late evenings and nights but I rarely see someone aggressive or even suspicious, sometimes I see drunk hipsters(very rare) but they are peaceful af. Young girls walking lonely 1:00AM and they don't look scared at all. Unfortunately gopniks those marvelous creatures are extinct in my neighborhood I have never seen one for a very long time.
    29
  19. Bricks On Da Beat It's Chelyabinsk dude, median salary is like $400 per month.
    28
  20.  @sep0262  not true, 71% are supporters by a state poll, but many of them are afraid. The most reliable question people are less afraid to be honest about is “Do you think that thing going in right direction in our country?” it’s less than 50%.
    28
  21.  @tauno908  I believe it depends what guarantees you have with your rental agreement, in NYC some people live paying the same monthly price they paid in 1970’s until they die. In Russia the landlord can evict you anytime on a week notice even if you pay in time with no reason…so what you gonna do with all that furniture you bought … just leave it as a present to the landlord just evicted you despite you being a very good tenant.
    27
  22. C7Dvids gayropean
    25
  23. If you are on a good side of Putin and didn’t say anything recently against the regime you have nothing to be afraid about…it’s stupid to think the law is equal for anyone in Russia and if some of his cronies accidentally says “war” they gonna be put in jail or something.
    23
  24. SirOink in Russia it's in the bathroom/kitchen like 70%/30% , own washing mashing is pretty much essential for a russian, no one will tolerate a common washing machines for the entire building like they have in the United States or sometimes in Europe.
    22
  25. OMG Berlin looks like 10 times more "soviet" than Moscow LOL
    21
  26. seoreh that was craze , our grandfathers and grandmother could spend 5-10 monthly salaries on a fuckin carpet, it was like a symbol of well being I dunno why most of them were pretty tasteless piece of garbage. It kinda changed now in developed cities with our new generation but Russians still tend to waste their money on expensive wallpapers instead of just painting the walls.
    21
  27. Cykelpatrullen LOL I am a Russian and I love Peter Stormare, his Russian cosmonaut role was actually very funny and didn't have any negative connotations in the movie, I loved him in Siberian Education as well, though the whole movie was a huge LOL stereotype wise
    20
  28. A separate washer and dryer is an American thing I believe. It’s one thing in Europe and Russia.
    20
  29. Polish and Czech people are coming angry about calling them Eastern Europe LOL is like Kazakh people trying to prove that Borat is not actually from Kazakhstan in every Borat and Kazakhstan video LOL
    20
  30. BRRP Whut? Is it your personal bias or maybe you have some statistics? In the Czech Republic Russian emigrants definitely do not sit on welfare, many of them are actually IT and business people creating jobs or having a high payed jobs paying taxes etc.
    19
  31. A Jae In the Life of Day I guess Russia has way less street crime than Mexico though
    18
  32. Life in Russia won’t be the same like it was in the 2010s the economic and social effects of this war are still to come….so if you don’t have good connections to protect your rights and you don’t make huge profits from it it’s better to try build your life elsewhere.

  33. Со мной из Еревана в Тбилиси ехал чел которого допрашивали задавали такие вопросы, то что телефон проверяли не говорил, возможно проверяют нервничающих молодых людей, но телефон должен быть чистым, можно подписаться на соловьева и поставить временно зигу на заставку или обои чтобы сильно не копались.

  34. Алексей Волков надо было ушанку снять, и убрать из рук Калашников и бутылку водки, а потом уже протягивать британский паспорт :))
    17
  35. I"m a Russian from Russia but I'd rather vaccinated with a Pfizer vaccine, at least you can get a EU travel pass with it. I believe ethnic russians living in some other former USSR states watch too much russian tv propaganda though it's still kinda strange because many people who watch government tv in Russia actually do not trust the vaccine or vaccination in general.
    15
  36. Gayson Jiovanni It's like saying Americans are Europeans, aside from having a smaller part in Europe geographically Russia is multiethnic society
    15
  37. I’m not sure about today but ever several years ago they had a special jail block in of the Moscow main detention centers where they had “privileged conditions” for white Europeans and Americans so called “European Standards” by default while Central Asians and Russians themselves were held packed like sardines in a can in awful conditions(well you can arrange good conditions in a jail but only for serious money)
    13
  38. Cykelpatrullen Peter Stormare should be awarded "a honorary russian" award for his Russian achievements LOL...wait is Viggo Mortensen Swedish as well?
    12
  39. SebaBRUH what? no freedom of movement is much much worse than the situation where you have no guaranteed apartment. WTF the Jews were allowed to leave the Soviet Union in 1974 but other ethnicities were not, Soviet Union deserved to die!
    12
  40.  @luisvasconcelos1053  you can always apply for an asylum after your visa is expired (if Putin stays), Germany would probably give asylum to the Russians especially if Putin declares martial law

  41. Новости из Питера - кто то успешно и профессионально расчленил тело но тупо спалился во время транспортировки уклоняясь от падающих сосулек
    12
  42. I mean it’s a cultural thing…a “Slav” may sometimes look kinda Asian but if he has a slavic name chill attitude and speaks kinda with no accent he’s kinda “predictable” for the landlord. Chechechs usually more athletic have strong accent , wear beards and more like “tribe for life” attitude they could be decent but many landlords consider them unpredictable and not being law abiding kinda.
    11
  43. Slovenia and Montenegro are kinda underrated here. Supporting Ukraine is OK but the country is devastated even before the war cmon.
    11
  44. Year if you doing business in Russia you are a criminal by default and totally dependent on a goodwill of government related authorities. That’s by design if just can’t obey the laws and feel secure. You are forced to be a “criminal” to stay on a hook forever. Any business activity can be viewed as a “fraud” if they want.
    10
  45. Use VPN people you gonna need it sooner or later. China has failed to block VPNs completely , not to say Russia.
    10
  46. No it’s not a job here. But all Russians Homer “patriots” (usually 60+ ppl)really “believe” all Russian emigrants can do in America or “Europe” is washing local asses for two cents a month.
    10
  47.  @manbtm1  sanitary? But you stay in the hotels, AirBnb’s and completely fine with the fact you use furniture bed sheets towels that were used before….I suppose LOL, I don’t get what’s the problem with used furniture…fine you can buy new towels bed sheets etc if you want….LOL
    10
  48. What’s the problem with this? Some ethnic Kazakhs don’t speak Kazakh. A lot of ethnic Russians in southern Kazakhstan like Kyzylorda and Shymkent speak Kazakh because it’s good for business.

  49. I’m a Muscovite and I like St. Peterburgians(except for St. P cops they are O.C.)

  50. Yeah it’s kinda surreal and Kafka-esque.

  51. Dan Melbourne 95% of them are furnished, the furniture is often inherited and renters usually want a furnished apt.

  52. Виктория Кнутова It's up to me to decide if I am staying or leaving. It's my life.If my country doesn't allow me to leave it becomes my enemy. Freedom of movement is your essential right and your last resort to separate your future from your country which might not be going in the right direction.
    9
  53. The problem here VPN won’t completely solve this problems. There were caching servers inside Russia so most YouTube content didn’t require downloading from abroad. Now when you can only access YouTube through foreign VPNs all YouTube traffic have to be downloaded from abroad through VPNs and those cables going outside of Russia aren’t capable to withstand that increased additional VPN traffic.
    9
  54. Technically you are right. Russia didn’t directly.But Russia has been facilitating military pressure against the Ottomans that made nationalist revolts in Serbia and Montenegro way harder to suppress.
    9
  55. That’s a very good observation, Russian “hate” of the west is very childish and full of simping LOL.

  56. Valeri Roslyakov maybe your parents influenced you that many things in the new country is wrong and it's just different. 8 y.o. is not too late for total assimilation if your parents do not influence the process negatively. iMHO
    8
  57. R John I think it's the same safety level as for whites, it was more dangerous in the past in some areas but it was many years ago, there a lot of asians everywhere so they are blended in. Black people stick out a bit, not a lot of them, but I see them almost every day, they don't have a bad reputation or something but you can experience some curious stares from people never saw a black person, mostly in non touristy areas, other than that I wouldn't expect any special treatment based on skin color, you can experience a lack of stranger smiles or some other cultural things like everyone else of any skin color.

  58. Mick B just checked London, February averages are pretty stable(+5-7C daily highs) , in Sochi it could be anywhere from +5C to +20C daily highs in February.

  59.  @martinpospisil3747  as a Russian that learned some Czech I noticed that Russian actually have more borrowings from Dutch French and English than Czech(as far as I know the language been reconstructed in 1918 or a little bit later)….words of German origin…I don’t know I wouldn’t say I was overwhelmed by them…German influence is being felt but not so much in the language department.
    8
  60. Boris The Kitchen Knife in my time(mid 2000s) if you don't sign a military draft letter that should be handed to you personally , you can't be held criminally responsible. I dunno maybe they changed the laws since then.
    8
  61. Yeah, privacy, as far as I know buying a SIM card and using a CryptoATM in Germany is no privacy at all. If you cross the border into the Czech Republic it feels like you entering a libertarian paradise LOL
    8
  62. jonasxdufek I actually like CR better than Germany, you are doing pretty well , I think lower average salaries makes you competitive, the country is safe and your institutions are developed enough to be considered a developed country. I also like you saved your currency and staying away from euro and keeping welfare immigrants away. You also have bitcoinomats and SIM cards without stupid identifications, I think czechs have some kind of libertarian spirit or at least don't like oppressive and controlling government.
    8
  63. Grambo it's a complex issue, it's like overregulated in one area but the civil society is underdeveloped , the law is lax and rarely followed , usually not respected because many people think the elites don't follow the law why should I. it's not an anarchy it's a bad organization of our societies.

  64. George Aksich Running of the Jew has been cancelled by the Tulyakiv reforms when they allowed women to travel inside of bus and homosexuals don't have to wear blue hats.
    7
  65.  @torbendill6108  You know it’s very strange when people value one aspect of privacy and completely dismissing the others. Anyway I believe preserving that ability to pay in cash is a good thing for a society. It’s better to have a choice.
    7
  66. Lauri Toerni yes but German laws are really bad for the landlords so they are very picky if they choose a wrong person not paying it would take a lot of time to evict him. In Russia laws are more favorable for the landlords so no one will demand you have a full time job proofs if you want to rent a fking apartment.
    6
  67. Thanks God it's much much better in Moscow, my mom got surgery 2 times in Moscow and it's pretty good....European level(I have been in the hospitals in the Netherlands, Czechia) but last year I had to visit a hospital in a small city in Russia and it's awful...a disaster, 3rd world level
    6
  68. It's very hard to be disabled in Russia, most of them have to sit home all the time because Russian city infrastructure is not friendly for them, it's extremely hard to even get out of typical Russian apartment building by yourself on a wheelchair.
    6
  69. Fun fact: in Finnish “Ruotsi” that sounds kinda like Rus means Sweden LOL and that’s actually is one of the mainstream theories where the root word for Russia comes from LOL

  71. marios gianopoulos Russia is transcontinental but when we say Europe in Russia we usually mean EU+ couple of other countries like Norway and Switzerland.

  72.  @sollte1239  maybe I’m a lazy Russian but 6 month is not enough for me for ANY hustle with the furniture…if it’s at least 5-10 years good price guaranteed then maybe…I would have accepted some empty space in a good location.

  73. Michael Fuerstenberg yup, people often say that is "western thing" but in reality smiling on eye contact is American thing .
    6
  74. MarioDesigns the same goes for Moscow. They look civilized Mercedes minibuses whatever .You can pay by tapping a credit/transport card but it's still a pain in the ass if you are over 1.9m .Thank God there are enough buses in Moscow and you can ignore those minibuses.

  75. TheDAWinz man if I can make 3million dollars there within 1 year I would even move to Somalia. Russia has it's opportunities if you want to take risks. San Diego has a nice climate but if I can make x2 somewhere else I would probably move to a place like Russia,if it's x20 I would move to Iraq or Somalia.

  76. Pogroms were rampant during Alexander the 3rd reign(1880-90), not in the Soviet Union, educate yourself , Roman, in the Soviet Union Jews were restricted when it comes to getting an university degree in some areas(I'm not sure why), in modern Russia there are no restrictions for the Jews, they say it themselves they never felt better in Russia.

  77. Yeah, “progressive” my arse, businesses are receiving a little to no support but have to pay their employees while having no revenue, it’s not like Russian government are the ones writing checks.

  78. I liked when I visited it 3 month ago, and I’m a Russian LOL and spoke mostly Russian except for a local bank. I would say Georgians are those people you can get on a good side of pretty easily. But if they don’t know English and you still expect some top notch “service” from them you might be disappointed that’s just how it is in many places especially in the Caucasus. Treat those people like you want to be friends with them don’t demand service because “Ima customer you gonna serve me according to my expectation”. That’s the basic cultural thing you have to know about the Caucasus. They gonna do everything for a decent person, a friend but you often can’t expect those standards of western “service” applied to every customer. I think it’s cool there is a cultural diversity like that out there. This world would have been a boring place otherwise.

  79. Calling someone a “traitor” is a huge red flag and btw in America you can openly shit on American president and openly insult him, nothing gonna happen to you. You can rent a huge billboard along the road telling people “America is going to hell move to Argentina ASAP. Cohen’s emigration agency” , no one gonna do anything against Mr. Cohen, no one gonna open a criminal case against him no one gonna check his taxes outta the blue to find out he’s a tax evader because he did this controversial advertisement. YOU KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN IN RUSSIA IN THIS CASE.
    5
  80. Yep in English nationality means passport…in Russian the similar word(nacionalnost’)means ethnicity so even Russian people with good English mistakenly translate “nacionalnost’” as “nationality” just because it’s so similar.

  87.  @rockxaction  I believe tenants are very protected in Germany so they want to invest their time and money to make a rental apartment with naked water hookups and nothing else a liveable place….I mean buying a Kitchen setup and a Fridge for your rental apartment sounds absolutely crazy for a Russian….then.. if I decided to move to another city am I obliged to pay like a million euros to disassemble everything and pay someone to get it away from the apartment somewhere.

  93. Those ones who are tough and scary have very limited tools to be an actor. Acting is actually a very disrespected job for the Russian crime world. I mean who is tough and scary in Western movies anyway?

  96. As a Russian and kinda moderate privacy enthusiast I’ve been hearing like bad news about Australia last years.. I mean privacy and encryption laws etc. At least America is is still kinda back and forth game and they still resist some bad laws despite corporations and government agencies being very powerful compared to Australia.
    4
  97. IshiAza Ishev those kind of apartments are usually about 50% of local median salary so it's $400 per month, and average salary is about 30% higher than that. In Moscow you can rent the similar place for $450-500(outskirts of the city though).
    4
  98. As a Russian I really don’t get why some western conservatives like today’s Russia. Aside from not having things like “woke” and LGBT “agenda” there is not much in Russia that looks like healthy pragmatic American conservatism. There are more important things that American conservatives should hate - invasive government…state dominant economy, no rule of law, questionable property rights, propaganda averywhere etc.
    4
  99. Aliens did 9/11 who cares about some young dude speaking English, most of those dudes never go to vote, he won't affect "negatively" a single person of a target group that always votes - government workers, police, army, retired folks,40+ women, USSR old farts, conservatives/strong government lovers patriots. It is not North Korea for Gods sake, you can say whatever you want within the law if you can only reach a small group of people who actually barely vote.
    4
  100. letecmig I agree with what you said, we have to admit it and do the same process Germans did to the Nazis...not even to make friends, just to move forward, unfortunately it's more "reasonable" for the Russian ruling elites to sell hate and "besieged fortress" agenda by justifying everything Soviet Union did .

  101. jay Man nobody knows when the EU as a whole would recognize the Russian certificates, so far only Hungary recognize them. We have no proven data that mDNA vaccines is more of a health risk than Stupnik V or any other vector vaccines.

  107. Being progressive/liberal can mean totally different things in the US and Russia for example. Like in America conservatives support economic freedom along with cultural conservatism, while in Russia conservatives like big government dick in their ass along with cultural conservatism. I'm OK with American laissez-faire conservatives but when it comes to Russia I think most common type of Russian conservatives are morons because there is not much worth conserving in Russia when it comes to institutions, economy, governance ,check and balances etc.

  108.  @jimmys8205  don’t listen to those news it’s just a mass manipulation….Russia is too connected to the west, all Russians “ aggressive” politicians have their kids studying in “evil” USA/UK. The west needs a bogeyman Russia needs a scapegoat to deflect peoples attention from “domestic agenda”

  114.  @StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe do you realised only a few countries introduced ban of Russian passport holders for visiting for touristic purposes(Baltic States, Poland , Czech R, Finland(not sure about that one) but since it’s a Schengen area you can cross the Schengen border in Austria or Germany for example and then buy a ticket to Poland or Czech R. there are no regular border control inside of that Schengen Area.
    3
  115. Many would argue that countries like America with so many checks and balances and democratic traditions would not allow something like “Patriot Act” or another shady freedom and privacy restricting shit happened. In authoritarian underdeveloped shitholes like Russia it’s just more blatant and stupid. You freedom is under attack constantly.

  117.  @lj2265  what’s the point of going to Canada if you are rich? It’s a heavily taxed country, I know many Chinese upper middle class are moving there but for me Canada is a country you can benefit from if you are a highly skilled employee, not an “investor”.
    3
  118. No one create anything decent in a lawless chekist shithole environment, I am really shocked how many people in Russia I’ve considered being not stupid are saying “we will overcome”, yeah sure just like Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. People’s talents don’t mean sht when you have a totalitarian lawless environment no one will develop sht they only gonna steal government money dedicated for that “development”.

  120. Russian equivalent of a Latin American "gringo" . The same connotations, I mean lightly dismissive, not very offensive. I mean you use something like "commies, "ruskies", something in that category, but it can be used even without much negative feelings LOL as a jokingly lightly dismissive slang word.

  121. I'm not sure if it's "premeditated" within the context of Russian law, his intent for murder is not that obvious so most likely he's been charged with "unintentional murder" so it's not that harsh despite the consequences. If you run somebody over in a car on a crosswalk it's usually 2-3 years in prison if it's "unintentional" if you drunk probably a little bit more.

  122. Portugal has a great climate and kinda low crime but it’s crazy overpriced when it comes to rent. There are a ton of digital nomads even Americans. There are small Russian digital nomad community located primarily around Cascais. Murricans usually love Porto.

  125. Good decision bro, Russia will become something of North Korea, Venezuela and Iran, something in the middle of those 3. There is no good way out of it. Many Russians just don’t realize how bad is gonna get in 3 to 6 months .I warned all people I know who have any savings or skills to get out ASAP. The leadership is completely delusional and just flushed Russian economy down the toilet out of blue for no potential gains. My own parents are completely brainwashed by TV and government “optimists”.

  127. If you mean the same way Finland defeated the Soviet Union then maybe…but Finland has lost 10% of their territory while preserving it’s independence. I don’t think we gonna see Ukrainian tanks in Moscow.

  128. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t spoon feed the oppressive regime with one hand and demand it’s citizens to revolt against still very strong oppressive government with another

  129. Mateusz Czesław Jan Paweł Burczak Finney II that's normal, but you can be progressive in one area and conservative in another ... I mean even being progressive/liberal can mean totally different things in the US and Russia for example. Like in America conservatives support economic freedom along with cultural conservatism, while in Russia conservatives like big government dick in their ass along with cultural conservatism.

  130. There is no point in any counter movement at this point. 95% people try to live their own lives, my Moscow friends has been saying “Actually we don’t live in Russia we only go to Russia every day to buy some groceries that’s it”.

  132.  @tauno908  that’s interesting, I was looking for an apartment in Estonia some time ago and most of them were furnished(unlike CZ or DE) if I remember so 3 weeks don’t make the tenants believe buying some serious furniture is a good idea in Estonia LOL.
    3
  133.  @AlexKall  are you from Germany? It is nice to see people help each other like that. Many Russians have lost their solidarity and trust for each other, that’s the result of USSR collapse and it’s ideology was based on trust and solidarity(formally) so many Russians abandoned those things.
    3
  134. Russia is quickly becoming ultra Kafka-esque idiotic country that forces people to show off their “patriotism” and even those people who are really kinda patriotic(beyond the war in Ukraine) realize that most people just want money and to be left alone 99% don’t believe in all that BS and most only formally comply for a mythical chance to be left alone.
    3
  135. People still families in Russia, including NHL players that were expressing the opposition point of view in the past are often reluctant now because you really don’t know how much time the regime will hold up and there are certain situations when you have to go back to Russia for family reasons etc. More people gonna speak out as soon as they see the collapse is inevitable and imminent but for now it’s kinda pointless, you burn the bridges but that won’t get millions of people to the streets and overthrow the regime so many famous Russians are still kinda soft on the issue even if they oppose it.

  138. That's stupid, you chances to be mistreated by the authorities as western foreigner is much much lower than if you were a russian. I would have preferred to live in Russia as a western foreigner honestly, 100%, as an American you are not 100% untouchable if you commit some crime but you won't have to worry about getting tortured by the police as a crime suspect or tortured in prison though living conditions in Russian prisons are considered torture by itself by the EU even without physical torture. I know there was a jail section in Moscow for western foreigners(SIZO #4) where they had living conditions comparable with EU standards.

  140. WorstCommenter2008 the only hope we have that Russia is so corrupt those money reserved for surveillance projects will be stolen so they steal 80% of that money and with the remaining 20% they buy some unreliable useless shit equipment that won't work. I'm not kidding. Corruption is our only hope.

  141. Kajus Skučas Look it was a lot of shit in the past. But blaming today's regular Russians for what's been done during the Soviet time or RE times is kinda crazy. Russians were not exempt from all that shit government thrown at people(Russian or not)... that's kinda stupid, ethnic Russians faced the same oppressive shit like any other people(maybe even more), don't be a pussy.

  144. Basically if you don’t rent but rather have an apartment you can survive on $400, utilities in Russia is not that expensive ,like $100 per month or even cheaper. You can survive on $300 if you stick to buying potatoes, eggs,carrot, pasta,chicken, flour, grains groceries like that even considering food inflation.

Not sure about his Patreon money. You are also totally wrong about moving somewhere to the West because his "shithole" environment is making him interesting for the majority of his viewers. No one would watch Bald and Bankrupt if he was a regular travel vlogger visiting the most touristy places.
    2
  148. Yeah it is a very good observation, it’s just a total madness when you can get in trouble for one thing “just because” and the next day some people openly doing the same thing and they got nothing. It’s a terror tactic you can’t say for sure what you what’s dangerous and what’s not even harsh but clear rules is easiler for your psyche and here you can get yourself into trouble by doing things formally still legal. They will find a way.
    2
  149. The ugly truth…If Putin didn’t attack Ukraine the “good old west” would have allowed to do everything he wants with his citizens(torture etc) they just continue doing business with him like usual. Now they blame regular Russians because the corrupt regime they spoon fed all those 20 years not demanding anything in return… for that money just “broken bad” and started some unpredictable mess outside.

  150. MasterAdam100 isn't lefty? he proposed a punishment if the person doesn't have an job, if you don't pay a welfare to those people it's perfectly ok but it's beyond stupid to force people to get formally employed it's their damn business, and there are a lot of that kind of Soviet stupidity in Belarus.

  155. Man that fact that you lived an oppressive regime doesn’t mean you know the rules it collapses by. The regime change in Czechoslovakia only happened because the black knight(the Soviet Union) has started to collapse and lost their grip. No human sacrifices would have had any effect BEFORE this happened. Now you say you don’t respect people because they don’t fight and waste their life before their fight has any chance to be successful. Of course you can do it for your personal reasons to make your life meaningful but from a practical standpoint it’s a waste of your sacrifice the majority of the Russian people NEED an economic and social collapse to become think differently and those Russians like us who already think different don’t want to share that struggle that we don’t need because we have changed but the state and the majority have not.
    2
  156. I don’t watch TV but from what they (ppl. who do) commenting online they have been told all kind of ridiculous sht you mentioned that Ukrainian people are suffering under a “Nazi regime” and those “Nazi groups “ are destroying their own cities. Basically the Russian society is split one part doesn’t believe it but often had to keep their mouth shut and formally comply…other part will believe any crazy sht the propaganda will tell them. But the majority just want too live their lives hoping for the better and keep their thinking out of it as much as possible. Like if you can’t do much about it why stressing yourself….

  157. It always amazes me how almost all of those long term rentals in the west have like no furniture whatsoever so I have to buy everything on top of my rent and think what I have to do with all that stuff if I move somewhere else. It’s crazy that furnished apartments are not at least 50% of the market. 90% of Russians would hate invest in anything significant for their rental apt.

If you blended in so much that you have no accent in Russian(I dunno if it's possible LOL) and don't look like a foreigner you can be replied in Ukrainian assuming you can understand. I can't even imagine that you gonna be harassed in any way unless you openly despise them and praise Putin(in any language). I can't imagine that you will be mistreated in any way only because you learn Russian LOL.

  166. Eric Rimón I see thank you for that link, very interesting. Just wandering were you been born in Finland or just moved there? Free public healthcare is not very good in Russia(except for Moscow), the problem is you can't trust private healthcare as well, I mean you should have some connection who can recommend a specific doctor and you should be savvy and smart yourself otherwise you will be ripped off, you just can't trust "the system" LOL

  167. Yeah exactly…the irony is …they demand us to rise up against the government and get xx years in jail and your kids being put into orphanage because of this….on the other hand they still provide s-loads of money for the regime! They still respect legitimacy of Putin and Russian “authorities”, extradite ppl. back to Russia(Russia has withdrawn from all human rights conventions but EU still honor Russian bogus “requests” against their citizens in exile are still respected by Interpol and Russian citizens being extradited back to Russia not because they have broken the law in a new country but because of political or another type of fake prosecution and made up cases for “crimes” in Russia) WTF is that?

  170. N M Serbia is an exception, there is no propaganda against Serbia or Montenegro. Many view them like as brothers for historical reasons/religious reasons. Slovenia ,Greece and Slovakia are kinda neutral as well by the media, Roman is lying that someone hates them. Czech R. was also viewed neutral until media started to demonize them. The only states often demonized in the media are Baltics, Poland , Ukraine, sometimes U.K. and USA.
    2
  171. I believe most people think 2006-2012 were “normal” like everything is more or less developing people getting richer and the government is kinda “lazy” to restrict personal freedoms and producing violence…people having their plans not related to their government antics. Now it’s all gone. From 2012-2021 it was still kinda OK, personal freedoms being slowly restricted but people could still make money, travel to the west, services were booming people though ok no political freedoms but it’s still kinda OK.
    2
  172. It’s hilarious to me some western conservatives are falling for it. Look Russia is not a “conservative America”, it’s not Texas or Florida. If you are an American conservative you should value economic freedom and citizen being allowed to be self sustainable and Russia is anything BUT. It looks like Americans so tired with LGBT/Woke agenda etc. at their home front they have no clue what iRussia is about. It’s amazing many Americans kinda sympathetic towards Russia just because Biden/Liberals/Leftists use it a political distraction tool or maybe because Putin “promotes” some “traditional values” to justify his Kafka-esque hypocritic authoritarian sht.

  177.  @JakobVirgil  Yep, Sergey Bodrov jr. did look like a highschooler for sure LOL but he’s not an experienced gangster in the movie just a regular guy that “forced” to deal with violence, like a tough soul hidden under his nerdy appearance. He is not a typical “gangster” in Russian movies by any means.

  178. Not really, the whole concept of gopniks is to make a victim feel themselves so weak , having no dignity or self respect so they handle their valuables to the gopnik. Gopniks act more like a hardcore versions of high school bullies than someone who would do an armed robbery. Many of them would eventually do something like that though but it’s kinda a different “role”, gopniks role is to humiliate you , make you to give up your stuff without any direct physical threats directly linked to your unwillingness to give your stuff to them ”for couple of hours”, they either take your stuff from you without any violence(just by giving you some “hints” of violence)or beat you up without taking your stuff. That’s the point. They can do both but it’s not a classic gop-stop they got their name from.

  181. Please make a video about those NOD idiots who are trying to convince anyone that Putin is good he just can't do anything because Russia is occupied by the US and good fella Putin just can't even fire a single minister because they are all protected by law emposed on Russia by the West in the 90s. They are even bigger idiots than those who believe Soviet Union still exists and Russia is a fake country/company encorporated in Delaware.

  182. I would say Russia is still a major geopolitical player and not bad from a tactical standpoint....but it's inability to grow it's own economic elite that would view Russia as a safe place and ready to invest long term here really hurt Russia's future.

  183. Western politics are hypocrites, I am 100% Russian just tell me why all these scum(Russian government figures , propaganda guys, all people that made their fortunes from government related operations) are allowed to have their assets in your countries, you should rob everyone that touched Russian government-related money you have your money laundering laws that allows you to do anything, it's a Fn joke I'm an independent IT entrepreneur and never touched any government money but western banks just torture me with their AMLs while big Russian boys just having fun...wtf?

It’s a matter of time when police gonna “find” some drugs in your pocket and demand ransom things like that. But most people gonna wait till the last moment believing that “I keep low profile everything gonna be fine”.

  192. Slavs only! Damn it's still widespread, but at least it's not like in Germany where you can't rent anything even if you have a lot of money they want you to be officially employed or something...sounds weird in 2020 when a lot of people freelancing. In Russia all you need is 2-3 months of rent the landlord doesn't care about your fuckin job or something.

  210. harald19811 median salary in Chelyabinsk is about $400 per month, average maybe $500 per month, I guess a very small economy class babushka's apt. is about 50% of median salary , that's valid for any Russian city incl. Moscow, where the rent starts from $500 per month.

Keeping dollars in a Russian bank account is kinda dumb, they haven’t been paying any significant interest anyway and many smart people were screaming “your dollars will be forcibly converted into roubles using the “patriotic” rate”. Smart people been legalising their income in the West last 10 years at least and got a residence permit or a citizenship by now. Russia was moving toward the hellhole since 2012.

  214. You can blame the Russians who don’t want to sacrifice their lives to stop the war all you want but it’s like to complain about the weather. Authoritarian systems just work like that you can’t force the Russians to act and sacrifice their life and freedom by shaming them across the intrnet. Russian gonna act only when the system weakens before that it’s just a suicidal behaviour. That great the west has spoon fed Putin for 20 years they didn’t care about civil rights or checks and balances in Russia and now they blame regular Russians that just want to live their lives.

  215. Roman wtf man keeping your savings in Russian rouble? It's not Zimbabwe or something but even last 20 years or so shows that rouble gets devalued 2-3 times very quickly every 5-10 years. This time(not now but within 3-5 years) the government assholes might even ban foreign currency to be available freely to the citizens so it would be more easy to rob people by doing some kind of currency reform or hyperinflation.

  223. Georgia has been switching from Russian to English as a second language for political reasons, people in many small countries don’t have enough content in their native language so usually those countries who don’t have a global language as their mother tongue tend to learn a global language. Young Russians learn it too because it give them some opportunities at least it’s much easier to travel and do business outside of Russia.

  231. If you work online what's the point of living in Russia(if you don't want to master the language)? The climate is Meh, yeah you can rent an apartment for $200 per month in some city like Pskov or Novgorod and survive paying another $200-300 for food but what's the point?
    2
  232. zytrik I dunno bro, I have lived in Czechia for like almost a year and I barely improved my language just because I work online and my everyday communication volume was very low(supermarkets etc) so if you want to improve your language you have to think how you gonna involve naturally in using the language without a local job...living in a country is not enough. P.S. why do you want to live close to Lithuania though ... yeah it's maybe cheap but it's kind of depressive. Try Sochi LOL.

  240. jay Man I got vaccinated with Sputnik V in February, now they say it's necessary to do it again in 6 month or so...but some people say RE-vaccination with vector vaccines are questionable that's why I would like to do it with a mRNA vaccine and get a EU travel pass along the way. I believe RE-vaccination with a different vaccine makes more sense when it comes to your protection against those new varieties....

  241. Rigoletto Blah I won't agree with your "check and balances" and "pressure groups" point. Of course those things do exists. But in the end there are different interest groups and those countries have more complicated statistics at least. Even in Argentina they have a way more advanced statistics than Russia. In Russia they trying to hide everything, just look at Russia's Covid death numbers for the last month, looks hella suspicious and statistically impossible. No negative info about Sputnik usage, other vaccines included mRNA has reported numerous negative cases but Russia haven't reported anything even minor incidents just to look credible and trustworthy. I'm sure Russian scientists are still capable to make a good vaccine but the system itself is a total mess that even failed to make a trustworthy statistics and report some minor negatives to look more credible.

Game-Caliber well women tend to overdress that's true , but tasteless overdressing is often criticized and made fun of in Russia itself, I don't see much of expensive furs or something in my everyday life in Moscow now, maybe some corrupt officials and their wife are kinda dressing flamboyant going to French ski resorts or something but not regular russians now LOL. Being talkative - I don't know, I feel like Russians are kinda reserved at first, I often talk more with some Americans or Australians than my fellow Ruskis when I travel.
    2
  245. Yeah but there are no functional financial market in Russia anymore so the imports are largely stopped while Russian exporters were forced to sell 80% of their currency they got for their exports so here is the result, won’t be for long. It’s actually pretty amazing thing that technically savvy Russians can buy crypto(incl. stablecoins) for rubles these times using p2p at pretty decent rate.

  246. Max Demyanov that's something strange going on with your babushka, you shouldn't get any draft letters because the military get your file(and your first check up) during your high school years. So if you left when you was 7 you shouldn't even be in their database. Sometimes when you move to another home in Russia and want to get a residential registration stamp/or passport and you are 18-27 they gonna require you registered with the local military. Those are the only possibilities to find yourself in a database.

Russia has some services that are good enough for a 1st world country, but in general we are on the same level as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Iran, Kazakhstan those kind of countries. Yes some things are significantly better but in general I would put Russia into this category.
    1
  263. Yeah but Crimea itself was basically bloodless. The Donbass in 2014 was not but most Russians were convincing themselves it’s not the Russian army but “Russian-backed pro-russian separatists”. Overall people don’t feel the pain if it’s somewhere else, Syria Ukraine or Afghanistan and find their ways to cope.

  264. Jason Hunter No, Russians are very curious about the outside world actually not like Americans at all. Russian news etc. is dominated by foreign -related agenda, to distract people from their domestic failures. It's nothing alike USA. In America 95% of all news are domestic related, in Russia it's the opposite. It's hilarious how russian talk shows are 90% about Ukraine, Europe , USA problems but not domestic issues.

Putin has nothing to do with WW2 and uses WW2 and people feelings to justify every bs thing he is doing he is just using “respect to Soviet sacrifice” to bail himself out of every mistake he makes, corruption, nepotism etc.

  273. opportunity for what? For a blue collar employee, scientist or university professor - maybe, but you can run an international or online business from anywhere in the world these days, developing markets often have better business opportunities and way cheaper cost of living. St. Petersburg, aside from a shitty climate and a lack of sunny days is not a bad choice for a freelancer that is not into Thailand like heat.

Some think that Czechs are overly salty and sensitive about 1968, and the media instigates all those "ww2 disrespect monuments"things. Other than that the attitude among the regular people are pretty chill. Hating Slovakia, are you kidding me? I would say that Poland and Baltic states are often viewed by propaganda as "pain in the ass" I mean "salty countries that gonna do everything to irritate and "provoke" Russia. But that's it. I have met both Baltic and Polish people and it was quite comfortable if I'm not arrogant and respect those countries why they should hate me just because I was born in Russia LOL.

But if you are a tourist it's highly unlikely something bad is going to happen to you because of your race these days. Racial profiling among cops is a common thing(they usually target people from Central Asia for immigration/documents check. If you look at newspaper real estate rent section you may see a lot of "slavs only" allowed remarks. That's pretty much all the racism you can face in Russia these days.

  285. Justin well freedom has a lot of different dimensions, in most of those dimensions Russia sucks but some like tax freedom were rated pretty high, basically some laws are not strictly enforced so in some cases people feel free because they can get away with some situations so they believe they face less restrictions compare to the West just because nobody cares and the rule of law is not always that strict.
    1
  286. Justin I don't have any premise for you to believe in, overall business climate sucks in Russia, but you can still get away with a lot of things you can't in the West due to lack of regulation/loose enforcement and you don't always have to be an oligarch. It got substantially worse though last 3-4 years for regular Ivans when it comes to tax freedom. When it was a lot of money inflows from Russia's commodity exports the government turned a blind eye on how some small fish are making their money. Now they are trying to make small fish like freelancers to pay their taxes too.

  287. Liutauras Grybauskas My friend no sane educated person would watch Russian TV now. They promote hatred against everyone , their only goal is to show how it's terrible outside so people get distracted from their own Russian problems.

Countries like Germany, France and Italy usually viewed neutral or neutral-positive ,sometimes criticized as well but with no hatred.

Capitalism works just fine in many former socialist countries like Czech Republic. It is not about capitalism.

  290. Сергей Сергей people deserve what they have, they want one man like Stalin to restore law and order but refuse to make their little battle about anything even insignificant, I would say that those societies are so sick and immature they gonna be in pain one way or another, even if a good kind of Stalin appears he will eventually die and everyone will suffer because law and order was guaranteed by one man and people haven't learned anything.

  295. Jake Nicholls that's crazy, maybe it's just democratic states like NY or Cali where you can't evict person in need if he lost his source of income. In Russia they ask for a security deposit if some furniture or equipment is really expensive plus 2 month rent ahead(first and last month of your rent). Some landlords don't like young single males so if you are not nerdy enough the agent might not call you back. Other than that no background check or job questions. You have to pay like half of per month rent to the re agent for their services as well.
    1
  296. Jake Nicholls if there a few or no renter protection why the landlords require a background checks and job proofs like in Germany? I have heard that at least NY landlords are very picky and there are some kind of renter protection, so Russian newcomers complaining they have problems even if they are ready to pay for 6 months ahead.

  305. 942mattu Neutral-Positive, a nice country, some admire your ability to keep your countryside tidy with infrastructure well maintained."Russian patriots" often use excuses like "We can't keep our countryside tidy and well maintained because we are a Nothern country so we have awful climate". So they are advised to cross the border and look how the same climate stops the Finns from taking good care of their land. So I have never heard anything bad about Finland. I guess we Russians respect their independence and don't consider that Finns owe anything to us, unlike other countries that were a part of RE, or soviet sphere of influence in Europe. I'm afraid most young Russians have no idea that Finland was a part of RE for 100 years LOL.

  309. Danny Roth I have some friends who faced police arrests and further prosecution in the US, I tend to believe most of American police brutality are provoked , in Russia police is kinda soft in some situations American police would shoot you on spot but the American police rarely uses physical torture to the suspect to get his guilt clause in written form or some evidence, which is common in Russia. Though I believe a speedy trial amendment is widely violated in America you can still get a fair trial while in Russia no chance unless you find a way to bribe the judge. It's just like 0.4% of all suspects will be released from a court room as "not guilty". I believe is Stalins time is was like 9% or something LOL.

It’s a country when a openly Nazi person could teach “patriotism” lectures in school explaining kids how it’s so important to find nazism in Ukraine. I mean there is a layer of hypocrisy in politics everywhere but only in Russia the Kafka-esque side of life so blatant and overwhelming.

What is considered a middle class in your country? How you define if you a middle class or not?

  337. Joseph Joestar I mean even the craziest Ukrainian nationalists do realize that a tourist foreigner much more likely to speak Russian that Unkrainian, so if you have an accent in Russian and let them know you are a tourist the chances some Ukrainian will be irritated that you speak Russian are slim to none. In the western provinces of the country where Ukrainian is significant you can start in English and switch to Russian that the strategy I would use to position yourself better to those who probably have some kind of a "strong national identity". Using a couple of words in Ukrainian wouldn't hurt though.

  338. The country is super nice and extremely beautiful and people speaks good English there. But it’s also extremely expensive for someone who makes average Eastern European money as a freelancer etc. or even 2-3x of that.

TTIG well when we say sex tourism I doesn't necessary mean enslaved women/minors/brothels etc...you can travel abroad and meet young women roaming free "in the wild" looking for sugar daddy , interesting foreigner or for another reasons, many people call it a sex tourism too, but I have no problem with it as long as it is legal and consent, I don't think it's some kind of "exploiting a woman".

  341. Aditya Bora what's the point? I like his content, why should I be interested in his sex life, many celebs have those stories around them all their life, some are a total bs from their haters, some are exaggerated to absolute nonsense...should we investigate every irrelevant bs we find on the Internet....
    1
  342. TTIG not often but rather sometimes, maybe it's more typical for SE Asia or Latin America(those negative aspects of sex tourism) but in some countries like Russia and Ukraine you can just hook up with a local 18+ women ....but ppl. call that "sex tourism" as well but the difference is immense.

  343. Leonderlie "normal" is not much more than a statistical category, women are looking for a rich husband, they "hunt" men using practical and cynical approach, I don't like when women are forced to work in cheap brothels run by the criminals but if you date a rich foreigner willingly I won't call it "exploiting women" anymore than a man and a woman exploiting each other in any other "normal" dating/sex life. But people still call it a "sex tourism" with some negative connotations. I don't get it. As long as there is no violence ,no criminals forcing women to work for money I am ok with it.

  346. Raian Levy cool, I have a question, how much did the dollar prices of Argentinian real estate(apartments etc.) dropped last years? Are there any web sites where I can see a chart?
    1
  347. Raian Levy I see but if you have 50% of annual inflation in pesos, dollar prices for some goods like apartments should fall as well because people gonna have less dollars so if I keep the same price in dollars like 2-3 years ago no one gonna buy it. For example my Moscow apt. was like $300K in 2008, in 2015 it dropped to $110K, while USD was like 24--->84
    1
  348. Raian Levy are the cryptocurrencies popular in Argentina? I mean you have an "official" and a "black market" rate now, right? If I take my foreign card to the bank and use ATM, I gonna get a very bad rate, but if I have $100 in cash I can get a better rate if I sell it to some exchange guys on the street, correct?

  349. Ali Bandi whut? I'm 40 (almost) and most of my former female classmates(like 95%) are outta shape to say the least. I get that they take a huge burden of working and taking care of their family but I still believe many white western women aging much better. Most Russian women tend to "relax" once they got married and they still tend to get married in their early 20's outside of major cities.

You should have had a Deng Xiaoping type reforms not later than early 197x which your beloved communist party just failed to do.

What’s the point of living in Cali if you are a freelancer basically, it’s ok if you are an employee like software engineer or looking for some investments for your big IT project but it makes no sense for a freelancer it’s expensive and you can’t get a resident status as a freelancer like in Portugal, you show them you make €700 per month as a freelancer and you can get your residence permit. Basically the same climate as Cali but much cheaper.

  373. If you are talking about Russia as a whole as a system that kinda falls back to it’s negative historical track your words might have some value but when you start talking about the “Russians” your words are loosing credibility just because Russians are very different from each other and have different values you just see them in one colour because of your historical perception and stereotypes maybe because of your lack of understanding how authoritarian regimes work.

If you have a passport you can apply for a visa, as far as I know even if you apply for a residence permit they don't ask you for a criminal record confirmation from your home country and there is no way Britain would share the criminal records of it's citizens with Russia, they even refused to share tax information on Russian citizens who reside in Britain.

  380. cucumber when I applied for a long term residential visa in the Czech Republic they asked for a "certificate" from Russia that my criminal history is clear(it was) but they have no technical capability to verify the certificate...you know what I mean)))). BTW ,there are companies in Russia that can help you with long term business visa if a regular tourist visa is not enough for you.

So Poland, Baltic states and Ukraine are portrayed as some kind of obsessed with that Russian threat beyond any logical reason. Many people are OK with them though considering those countries somehow indoctrinated against anything Russian unlike their more reasonable Western European buddies.
    1
  383. mateusz molenda you Central Europeans get one thing wrong you tend to forget that unlike those Nazis who targeted outsiders, the main victim of the communist regime were Russians themselves, so when I keep hearing that whining I think buddy you haven't seen real shit and real atrocities, as much as it was sucks in Central Europe it was much much worse in Russia, it's not like Russians lived in prosperity because Russia robbed all the republics and satellite states at gunpoint.

  384. Most people who “support” the war don’t support it from a practical standpoint or from the point of hatred…they just don’t want to admit Putin has made a strategic mistake and they will have to pay for that.

  400. Jeffrey Bozko cool, if you can have a liveable space for EUR500 with average salaries like 2000-3000 a month it's cool because in Russia it's usually about 50% of local median salary, in Moscow median salary is something like $1000(and average is always like 30%more) so liveable apartment in good condition starts at $500 per month.

The only reason Russians keep coming is EU is not visa free for Russia, but you can stay a whole year in Georgia with no paperwork, then get on a visa run to Turkey or Armenia get a new stamp and here we go another year in Georgia. Those Russians who have a residence permit in EU usually relocate to EU.

  404. Dude, if the West wanted Russia to become a "part of the family" they could do it easily in the 90's right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now they are sorta "not happy" with Putin and his "thieves" misbehaving dude you created Putin by mismanaging Russia relations in the 90's. The west has all the tools to make Russia a "bigger Poland" but they choose the same lazy ass deterrence strategy as they did against the Soviet Union. You can listen Vladimir Pozner if you want a deeper look on that perspective. BTW the West is still very welcoming and kind to a government related money from Russia when you see government crooks and their families use their money in the west but you, a common Russian see some restrictions against you...you become kinda angry. The west was never committed enough to become friends with the Russian people and force Russian elites to make their country "civilized". It was super easy to do in the 90's , now it's gonna be harder but I doubt the commitment is there.

  405.  @ataksnajpera actually “I’m an American” “I’m British” etc. are nouns WHEN TRANSLATED to our languages from English but the same word is also used as an adjective next to the nouns in English so it could be an adjective as well. BTW In Polish “jazyk rossijski” sounds very funny for a Russian person too. In Czech “rusak” is kinda slightly derogatory but “jazyk rusky” is an official name for a Russian language.

I still don't think that local Estonian Russians not learning the language is a big deal. Maybe they believe that they not gonna get much of an bonus opportunity if they knew the language. I'm an ethnic Russian from Kazakhstan and I respect Kazakh people. But I don't believe that Kazakh knowledge give me any significant advantage. No disrespect here.

  415. Beachcomber1993 Many counties have more than 1 official language(Switzerland, Canada etc.). Many countries where it's not official(like the USA) the minorities can do many things in their language(like passing a driving license exam in Russian in New York, or Spanish in California). If the person want more opportunity like government job they can learn the language but "forcing" it is just stupid, people have to be genuinely interested learning the language, it is kinda stupid for a practical people like Estonians to hate on the local russian grandma that she didn't learn the language yet, it won't do any good for the local russians in making them hungry to learn estonian LOL.

  422. Crubino man , conservatism in Russia would disappoint 99% of American conservatives because it's not only about those cultural values. American conservatives strife for economic freedom and small government, Russian conservatives(both communism lovers and Russian Empire lovers) are the opposite. I believe economy and governance are more important than cultural things.
    1
  423. Crubino it's a matter of perspective, if you hear every day that you should tolerate bad governance and bad treatment of independent economic agents just because "at least we preserve our conservative cultural values so shut up" that's f up man. I'm perfectly OK with American conservatives but their view of Russian conservatives as themselves just speaking Russian language is very far from the true. Russia is not a conservative paradise they think it is. I would love Russian conservatives were the same as American conservatives. They are not!
    1
  424. Crubino bailing out rich CEOs or using government mechanisms as a tool to get unfair competitive advantage are definitely not "conservative values" in America and I totally agree. I support everything that makes people more independent from the government (and big corporations)that's my main "values" (conservative by American standards)unfortunately mr. Putin did nothing to improve that situation, on the opposite he does everything to restrict small players and keep people dependent on big players(aka oligarchs)and the government to keep them under control. Most American conservatives would hate him if they knew what's going on besides that "cultural conservatism bs" from Putin.

  433.  @RandomUser-om4up  Russia has no monopoly over natural resources Russian export volume doesn’t guarantee it’s currency a world status. There a lot of commodity rich countries and their currency share in world trade is close no none. Russia could only win if she hacks the system she can’t win plain by the rules of those countries that have world reserve currency. The only way to hack the system is to provide any available economic agents to transfer money in roubles without any control.

  438. Well Russia has to be babysitted by the west after the Cold War the same way West Germany was babysitted after WW2. You have to watch out some negative tendencies don’t re-establish themselves. You can’t blame the Russian people that they didn’t defend their freedom because they got it pretty easy didn’t value it much over material well being and didn’t have any democratic traditions since like 800 years ago in Novgorod Republic. They had a mentality of 10 years old(being a citizen wise). They have to be babysitted and guided.

Charlie No-Face actually it's not that widespread, I walk a lot around Moscow and maybe I felt the smell a couple of times only, I would say some progressive hipsters might smoke but ppl. are generally afraid to get jailed because they (cops)gonna see it as a "possession with the intent of distribution". It is actually horrible because prisons are filled with a lot of docile hipster kids that ordered 10 grams of mj in the darknet for their own consumption. I don't think the government will loose it up anytime in the nearest future because they are confident that mj consumption forces people to consume heavy drugs in the future. So the majority of ppl. follow and believe it though I think it's a statistical fallacy and a dogma.

  477. Yeah eventually the orders won’t get through we can call it “an administrative collapse” no one wants to take a risk and responsibility to execute orders from an authority that is about to collapse. But it takes time for the regime to deteriorate to this point. So far the regime is still perceived as “strong” and definitely not at it’s breaking point so people expect not following those orders presents a way bigger risk. Putin probably gonna rule another 10 years and you gonna lose everything if you don’t comply.

Their attitude is like "well we defeated the nazis who were an absolute evil, other things doesn't matter that much". I mean both old and new generations don't really want to know the true...the old ones just want to be proud for the past not sad or sorry. The new ones do not really care about history.

  490. As a Russian it’s hilarious to me to see some American “conservatives” that actually believe Russia and Putin are “doing good” because some minor things they feel negative about that exist in the US but don’t exist in Russia. My friends you have to fully understand the full scale of situation in Russia first. If you are a real American conservative you will hate everything about the situation in Russia(esp. if you consider that govt. dck in your arse is a part (a centrepiece actually)of Russian “conservative” agenda.)Putinism has nothing in common with real American conservatism, it has some “decorations” like ANTI-LGBT but you will hate it in every way that really impacts your life.
    1
  491. Yeah, that's corrects. But I would put the natural process of economic decentralization first. Only those people who could sustain themselves without government help will eventually require freedom/better governance/institutions(you don't have live abroad for that) . Poor people dependent on the government only want government parenting , strong hand etc. Russian economy is 70% government related and it's getting even worse as many believe government sees independent economic agents as a treat.

  492. Sure why not

  493. What I like about some countries like Czechia...they had their politician having their public events wearing masks. Meanwhile in Russia they want you to wear masks but every public events like government meeting or press conferences they are standing without masks...I mean if you want from your common people to comply you should show them that you follow the same rules...and they like...nah it's for peasants LOL

  508. But you can find a niche where you can make a lot of money even in Somalia. Russia has been making a shitload of money selling natural resources so there were some opportunities. Yeah Russia was authoritarian but it was quite nice before 2022. Since then people are coping.

  511. that’s total BS as a early millennial the 00’s were great in Russia the big guys did their business and didn’t interfere into our business(independent middle class) everything was booming. The 10’s were OK there were some consumer pluses(like developed service economy created by INDEPENDENT MIDDLE CLASS) but there were already a negative trend government getting more invasive into our life. In 202x all our lives have been ruined and became unpredictable. We don’t want to blame America or anything. We don’t want to trust the government. We want to be left alone and we want for our life to be a result of our choices, not the government choices, you understand? America has nothing to do with it.

No one will guarantee people will be allowed to leave freely in the future not to mention repressions(even against people not politically active), limitations(internet etc) etc. Nothing good is ahead for Russia as long as that regime stays. People believing their rights will be the same (even as of January 2022) are just plain stupid.

  518. Man late 00’s and 10’s Moscow was very good from consumer point of view , price to quality for middle class , services etc. Sure it was authoritarian but it was probably among the best authoritarian state along with Singapore etc. It’s still kinda OK(Moscow) but the future is not good.

  526. People caring about their well being is not that bad there are people of high moral values that can’t sleep if some people are dying somewhere but most people are not that sensitive of course they care about their well being and their family more than people dying, it sounds like it’s very different in America etc. but it’s not. People have to feel the price of this war before they gonna wake up. The price of the Crimean annexation was very limited so many people still believe it wont be much worse this time.

  527. How it's reported? Well Russia will impose the following sanctions: 1. Czech beer and knedliks imports will be banned 2. Skoda auto Russian owners will be executed by quartering, the families will be sent to Siberia 3. Russia will ban Russian souvenirs to be sold in the center of Prague 4. Russia will ban the use of the Russian language in Karlovy Vary 5. In worse case scenario we will take mr. Zeman back home to Moscow

  528. SF1NX I get your point but Moscow has changed a lot and now it's very comfortable for living and from consumers standpoint. Russian institutions(justice, property protection,police , penitentiary) though are not improving , sometimes got even worse.
    1
  529. SF1NX I have lived in Europe (Austria, Spain, Czech Republic) and I can definitely say Moscow is more lively and exciting and has more to offer. Europe is good when you are a family man and trying to live your safe boring life or a grandma/grandpa with some good medical insurance and retirement money. Other than that Moscow is more vibrant and has more opportunities. Though I realize that Russian government might go really crazy and kafkaesque one day so you must have your escape plan ready.

  538. G. Dub Crimea was a different situation Ukraine was in a political crisis so you could annex it with no hustle plus most Russians considered Crimea's transfer to the Ukraine during the soviet time as "not legitimate". Now Russians don't want any hustle plus the regime itself is afraid to lose the sacred "stability" if something go wrong in a full scaled war. Putin likes the status quo(slow pace proxy/hybrid warfare). So all bark no bite.

  544. Mám rád vlaky Europe is a continent geographically, but in a common speech in different countries like Russia, United States or Brazil could mean different things. In Russia "I'm going to Europe" means "I'm going to EU/Schengen country", not "I'm going west of the Ural Mountains" so "Europe" primarily used in a political sense not geographical 95% of the time.

  547. When it comes to consumerism it’s European, when it comes to governance and civil society it’s more like Central Asian people don’t know how to be a responsible citizens. As some Russians say “We don’t live in Russia we only go to Russia to the grocery store to buy some food”. Actually I really surprised how a society with it’s civil institutions and checks and balances this bad somehow works kinda OK and didn’t go full chaos mode.

  550. neves bird If you watch mainstream media and "support"/not questioning their arguments you are a victim, doesn't matter if it's Putins propaganda or the "Western" one. The difference it's still a lot more of "checks and balances" in the West so in autocratic societies propaganda affects you more if you fell for it and make bad decisions because of it. Still from my experience "victims" of "western propaganda" are more pro-active with their life and victims of Putins propaganda are more passive-aggressive.

  553. The EU countries have a ton of Ukrainian refugees unfortunately many won’t provide an asylum for the Russians unless you have a strong case of political prosecution).Maybe if Putin declares martial law some countries like Germany will give an asylum to the Russians able to flee.

  557. There are some India fans(people who visited this country and fell in love for some reason), people who didn't visit are usually neutral unless they are into some part of Indian -related culture (cuisine, yoga etc)...many Russians also generally avoid countries they consider "too crowded". Other than that Russians are usually neutral towards India as a country/politically.

Christopher Coonan possession of 6 grams or less is a fine/no criminal offense but it's more complicated than that, if you pass your joint to your friend it doesn't matter if it is 1 gram or 6, it is considered "distribution" a criminal offense, anyway I wouldn't trust law enforcement to abide law in Russia, they could find "intent of distribution" in your actions , they can falsify the evidence if they want the judge will turn a blind eye on any bs they gonna present. nfkrz had a video about this problem.

  568. Charles P Look, "conservatives" and "liberals" as groups have a very different outlook and connotations in the US and Russia. As a Russian person I even kinda like American conservatives but Russian "conservatives" are different animals that have not much in common aside from some cultural side of conservatism. I mean it's totally messed up in Russia, for example I mostly share libertarian-right views as it represented in America but in Russia most people would say I'm a liberal just because my views on economy and government are not conservative IN RUSSIA, though I don't like "cultural Marxism". Once again you have to realize Russian "conservatives" are mostly morons just because there are not much of a good things worth to "conserve" to begin with.

  569. No, I would prefer to live in Russia as an American actually.

I doubt he gonna answer here you should try his instagram, the questions are good though...human rights when it comes to fair trial, police tortures, jail conditions, the rule of law - definitely one other Russia's glaring problems and the main reason many Russians feel vulnerable and unsafe, unfortunately most people don't care much until it affects them personally so no improvements in those areas are expected.

  576. FilFee where do you live in Prague? They offered me a 2K+K in Vinohrady for 18000kc but it was a while ago like 8 years ago.

  577. Do you know that Russian government all those years supported all substantial globalist agenda, vaccines, money control(so called AML) etc. you are a fool if you think Russia is ANTI-NWO just because it doesn’t allow gay parades doesn’t have cancel culture or something like that.

  578. marektln I think China is doing better in that are keeping low profile, getting assets around the world and economic leverage while Russia making too much noise buying politicians for political lobbying and staying a "player" but I'm not sure those investments are effective in most cases.
    1
  579. marektln I think Chinese influence are more practical, they are less prone to lose money in some geopolitical games they can't really afford, while Russia having less than 2% of worlds GDP playing too much of big boy games instead of developing some kind of sustainable economic growth and raising a national economic elite that would consider Russia their home long term.

  585. You haven't been in Nur-Sultan(Astana) my friend, that's the city built for cars, not for people, Moscow is relatively nice it has nice public areas you can enjoy walking around.

  586. I highly doubt it because there is no exit strategy from the situation other than regime change. It’s a “frontier market” from now on with basically no rule of law and shrinking domestic market. The war being frozen only means more domestic repressions and government control.

  598. Mor Dor you have self esteem issues , I'm Russian and I don't feel any disrespect, I can't imagine how he can please you and stay funny British way at the same time. You can say Varlamovs vlogs from Africa etc. are a bit disrespectful (and people love it)but I can't see the same attitude in Bald's videos. He's not dissing Russia he is showing it as it is. You are fucking biased.

  600. letecmig LOL the thing you telling here is a known phenomena, there are some memes in Russia how a pro-western, liberal emigrant finally crosses the border and suddenly starts to like Russia, Stalin, Putin etc. it's all fun and games but being Russian I kinda feel it myself to a certain extent. The more I live outside of Russia the more secure I feel I wouldn't say I was starting to like Putin but it certainly gives you another perspective of Russia not being that bad. P.S. I don't watch any TV or another type of "patriotic" propaganda.
    1
  601. letecmig maybe the Russian regime hasn't became that harsh yet. I know people from Cuba and Venezuela emigrated to the States usually hate the regime in their homeland. I'm not sure about people from China and Vietnam in Europe. People from Iran those who haven't "burned the bridges" completely could be kinda tolerant to their regime. The Turks in Germany often support Erdogan. Maybe the Russians are not that "uniquely irrational" as you think. If the person was really harassed by the regime he would probably hate it, maybe there are not that many of them yet those who really "escaped" from Russia.

  602. MHTRIfreedom 95% are furnished, Russians usually like it ready to go.
    1
  603. MHTRIfreedom I dunno, most Russians think " if you wanna change something seriously you should buy your own apt"., people don't want to invest their time and money seriously improving property they don't own, maybe because they feel their rent is not secure long term(most l.t. rental agreements are for 11 months) , usually it prolonged automatically but you still could be asked to find another place any time by the landlord.

  607. There is no average Russians. There are people who watch state TV and those who don’t there are no middle ground. If you want to know what happens with those who do you can learn about Germany in 1930s and Goebbels’ propaganda.

  609. Russia Far East is very different some regions are predominantly slavic and some(ethnic republics) are predominantly Asian descent. However other than these minorities sometimes know their local language and know some local traditions like eating sliced frozen fish , when it comes to consumer behaviour it’s kinda close to the rest of the country if you discount being a bit poor😅 like Tuva on average.

  610. Max Demyanov if you have a Russian birth certificate and were born in Russia/Russian SSR you should be able to get your Russian passport just contact your local Russian consulate. P.S. Having a second citizenship will make it impossible for you to serve in Russian army unless you hide it.

  613. Frank Woods most leftist do support private property and small business now, even the Communist Party of Russia. American leftists like Scandinavian models not Soviet Union's.

  621. Smart geeks sometimes choose android over iPhone for non-economic reasons anywhere but in 80% cases in countries like Russia it’s “why pay $1K for the same functions I can have for $200-300” so in Russia, except for some computer geeks and other “hackers” usually if you can afford an iPhone without sacrificing much you usually have one. But some countries like Finland is pretty android heavy while not being poor I like it.

  622. It’s called indoctrination. Both US and Russia are not the best at leaving people alone without indoctrination in one way or another…I’m not sure if there is a country where their public education are completely free of this BS doesn’t matter if’s a fake “patriotism”, homerism , woke-ism or tansgenderism.

  624. It’s outrageous how western legal system still respects Kafka-esque Russian “laws” when you can be declared a criminal for discrediting Putin, baking bagels, protesting and even still reviewing Russian requests for extradition. Citizens should always have the benefit of a doubt in this situation when Russian legal system becomes so bad it should not be respected at all. But Putin still allowed to do a human branding of his “peasants” while his “western enemies” totally respect his right to do just that.

  625.  @AlexKall  that’s something Russians would do in the past/Soviet times (getting your family and friend to help you out like that) but not anymore no one gonna waste their time to help you save a couple hundred bucks for pizza or whatever LOL

  626. Russians love for Finland is a well known phenomena, it’s like one of the least hated countries(I guess for being practical and keeping low profile when it comes to “annoying” the Russian politicians so Finland barely gets any negative propaganda)

  628. Stan Torren it's really depends on a country. In America the general direction is from a small government to a big government so liberals(progressive)are viewed as a big government fans, though to be more appealing in the US they incorporated a lot of "personal freedoms" that "kinda" come with big government and economic freedoms' restrictions. Communism is traditionally viewed as a big government concept , at least in real life "transition to communism includes heavy government involvement", so they have that in common.

  631. Holodomor is not a holocaust in any way . I'm from a Russian family that lived in Kazakhstan, we starved like anyone else, many people died. Many people were hit by the famine in the southern regions of Russia(Volga) not just "the republics" that is a fact that kinda neglects those accusations it was some kind of ethnic cleansing or genocide. It's politicized beyond any reason and I'm an anti soviet guy.
    1
  632. Taxi drivers usually speak Russian, but it’s better that you have something like Ukraine colored cap or something but I have never seen a bad attitude…some people are “cold” when you speak Russian that’s it. Urban youth speaks english. Bank employees may speak Russian to you but when a new client come in and asks “do you speak Russian?” the same person who spoke perfect Russian with her previous client often says no. It’s funny.

  633. He's a boring hypocrite his early videos from UfA were OK but I don't know who's watching his boring Saint P. bs. with him sitting at the restaurants for hours with his relatives. He couldn't stay away from the politics and showed his political indoctrination.
    1
  634. Fire Wall It's a lie that Roman has never said anything good about Russia. He has a separate video with the pluses of Russia. For sure negativity sells but we have to ask ourselfves if it's really "a negativity" when an overall image of the Russian people improves. Sergey Baklykov openly criticized Bald and Bankrupt(then cowardly deleted his video) for showing "the ugly side of Russia" but in fact people see how warm kind and welcoming Russian people are and many wanted to visit Russia after his videos. Is it a "negativity"? People just don't want to see some boring BS like sitting in a good restaurant of Saint P. for hours, people want to see how people live harsh conditions but remain warm, welcoming and kind. Roman shows that some Russians (though kinda opossitionally indocrinated) still able to think outside of the "party line", which also improves the image of the Russian people that "you can't judge them as the same they could have different beliefs and attitude". I believe it's important to understand that every Russian person doesn't represent "the party line" so if a foreigner who doesnt support rUssian foreign policy sees a Russian person he assumes a person who could have different beliefs and attitude.
    1
  635. Fire Wall I don't agree that Roman and Bald and Bankrupt sell hate, you can easily look at the comment section under those videos and see that their viewers are feeling sympathy towards common people in general. Where is the hate they indoctrinate among their viewers ? Show me! Even those foreigners who live in so called "russophobic" countries like Poland and Lithuania see that you can "hate" Russia as a "political player" but there in no need to hate Russian individuals because they are different! Is it a negative?hell no! If I go to Poland and Lithuania I want to be treated as an individual not connected with my country's politics! So your assumption that they sell hate or negativity is very stupid. People want to see real life not glitz and glamour(there are a ton of video bloggers for that already). They show no despise toward common people , and the government has deserved every piece of shit we throw at them...everywhere...Russia ...America doesn't matter, we should have no mercy towards them, don't confuse showing government's mismanagement for an "insult" towards the country and the people, it's extremely stupid. If you have a pile of shit in the center of your city you should clean it up or demand your government to do this...don't blame a videoblogger filming that pile of shit because it actually increases a probability of that shit to get removed.

  657. You got one thing wrong here this is not meth :) I mean empires collapse for natural causes but it takes time just remember the Roman Empire incl. Byzantium. So the Russian Empire has been collapsing for more than 100 years as of today and it’s gonna probably take another 50-100 years. I wish it was easier(this process)for the neighbouring nations slavs or not but I believe it was a mistake Russia was mismanaged by the West in the 90’s so not it kinda transpired but the Ukrainian situation is def. speeding up the process that could have taken decades otherwise.
