Thank you for acknowledging what is happening to the extent that you can. As someone who is both Ukrainian and Russian, it has horrified and shocked me how many Russians don't seem to care whatsoever what their government and army is doing in Ukraine.
Privet Alina! I had watched you for about 2 years before the 24th Feb. Love your adventures. Commented a few times. My channel was called Letters To King then. Then lately I thought about you quite a few times remembering how you loved St Petersburg and Kiev where your family and how his event is tearing you apart. I'm kinda feeling the same way, torn apart. Love both Ukraine and Russia, what's happening is beyond tragedy. Feeling absolutely helpless. Thanks for commenting.
@@INSIDERUSSIA Yes, I'm very glad I got to do that trip then. I love Russia as a country and felt very welcome there, almost home in a sense. Now I don't know if I'll be going back anytime soon. It's very sad.
Watch what is going to happen in the west soon. Sanctions will hurt west as never before but russia will recover because they have energy which is needed for any progress. I wouldnt be nervous if stupid goods are not for sale in hypermarkets. Who cares? People in russia will adapt as they always do but I understand if a pampered boy/girl cries for not having their burger, fancy clothes or the latest phone, TV, sofa...
It is and will travel the globe, be prepared for no food, gasoline, electric power. A collapse of the world economy is in the making. No one person will be able to afford jack $hit!
@Nobody Important I am only saying as an old man, I've seen this before. Only, this time it will be worse than the great depression. I hope I am incorrect, however... the game has changed for all of us. Only time and experience ( for me) of such a warning will tell.
@@INSIDERUSSIA What you have seen are left over that needs to be consume after that no more..if there's another one that comes from China, it may no longer the original.
all he does is playing into the Western narrative of how things are bad now in Russia. But they really arent' that bad. Not worse than crises and inflation of almost 19% in Estonia, for instance. But yeah, good for him, I hope he monetises your silliness.
Here in Canada we are feeling the effects mainly at the gas pumps and on groceries. Whenever I find myself getting upset over high prices I think of the people of Ukraine, the lives lost, the injured, the suffering, people who have lost their homes and villages.
We're past peak oil anyway. Gas will only get more expensive from here on out. When you can get yourself a more efficient vehicle like a hybrid or electric you should. I'm seeing so many trucks just sitting at dealerships because they're so expensive to fill up the tank!
Here in the US it’s the same, high prices at the pumps. I’ve noticed groceries have really began to increase as well, but like you, I don’t get angry with the current situation. There’s so many that have it much worse by far. I really do hope for a solution to the suffering in Ukraine. I also hope the situation gets better in Russia too. Take care up north, hopefully we’ll see the world’s issues coming to a peaceful conclusion in the near future? Hang in there all….
You risk yourself showing us the truth. Hope you and your family keep safe, you are doing an outstanding job to show russians as people like everyone else, despite all the hate and distrust!
What are you people even talking about? He isn't risking anything, you can go to russia and look yourself anytime. You people really are completely media brainwashed.
You can really SEE that he wants to say more. I think he is brave to speak about "Special Operations in Ukraine" and problems in Russia. From outside it looks like that the people there are accustomed to feign ignorance. As a way to survive. He is doing the opposite, for someone who lives in Russia. Thank you and I hope that the people hear your voice!!!!!
ORRRRR it could be you who is kept ignorant by an absolute corp/state run media org whose only profit comes from ensuring endless conflicts which it promotes…… At some point you gotta realize it’s not the rest of the world that’s wrong it’s America Well baby boomers can’t live forever so one day we will have a responsible electorate not brainwashed into compliance
_I think he is brave to speak about "Special Operations in Ukraine" and problems in Russia._ Nothing brave about it. He is just milking you. It is all over Russian internet with all kinds of opinions and noone says "oh you are so brave" to each other. He is surelly safer than if he was American calling Biden a illegitimare president and elections rigged.
@@jeffreyd508 _The Special Financial Operation is in full swing. It won't stop until all objectives are met_ Yeah until EU economy completely collapses. That's US goal, to move EU businesses and $$$ to US.
I feel for everyone around the world who are struggling with inflation. I am Japanese American originally from LA and living in Japan now but prices of everything that you showed me are regular prices in Japan. Right now 3 onions will cost you around $4.50 which is crazy!
@@supernice_auto well my grandmother was sick so I came here 10 years ago but decided to stay for a while. It’s interesting learning about Japan and understanding the culture. Super safe here compared to the US and healthcare is great too so… I’ve always wanted to visit Florida!
@@tomokoz300 That's very interesting and I hope your grandmother is doing better now- life has a strange way of taking us in all sorts of different directions- how long did it take to 'adjust' to life there? Do you work in Japan as well?
Yes , western and countries close to Japan are expensive. But you get 10x more money than in Russia and that’s why it’s kinda cheap for us , but for them it’s like super expensive
@@farguy2517 I see! Thanks for enlightening me. I see that Russians make an average of 16k per year compared to Japan at 38k and America at 69k. We have a large senior population who work part time so I wonder if that makes our annual income lower? 🤔 Anyways, Japanese people make less than you would think.
Nice to see a Russian & an Aussie having a laugh together despite the fundamental seriousness of the content. Showing Friendships between Russians & Westerners is so so important right now. You’re a brave & very decent person. I’m in the comfort of America & have been depressed by the whole thing. Stay well & understand that your stance is so so important.
lol literally no one disliked the Russians before this nonsense, yes the west and east didn't trust each other but we got on and we loved the whole russian bear image, gopniks etc
Note that although some shops are selling products from companies that have left Russia, they are doing it mostly (or totally) from existing inventory. When that inventory is gone it will be hard to replace.
Hi, my friends. It's so brave of you both to talk out; it's been a great shock to us all, as we wonder what will happen and wish it would all stop. I hope it will return and pace with our nations,stay safe
It was good to listen to you. I think you are reminding us non-Russians that Russian people are just like us... so, I would say that you are communicating with the world. This situation won't last forever. Greetings from Finland!
@@INSIDERUSSIA No, thank YOU. This was a good reminder about the importance of communication between people. (I miss trips to St.Petersburgh :) So, what you are doing is important, for us "others" but also... sort of public relations on behalf of Russian people.
Konstantin, even Oskar Schindler felt that he wasn’t doing enough for the Jews in WW2. The answer to that is that we can only do what we can and trust me you are doing wonderfully well. None of us can predict where this will all lead or for how long or the outcome for any of us, and the only certainty is that there will be pain, all around. What you do is deeply appreciated!
I'm deeply surprised that with this amount of vocal scepticism and some criticism for current state of affairs you are allowed to let us see and understand what's happening.
@@INSIDERUSSIA Dear Sir: Your monologue at the end compels me to suggest to you with all due compassion that you could benefit from professional psychiatric services to overcome your profound Depression. If, in fact, you feel guilt for what is going on in Ukraine today then you are sadly delusional and in need of urgent help because, in Reality, as just one person you bear NO Responsibility at all. However, the psychiatric emergency that you are now apparently experiencing invalidates for me the whole first part of your video. How can I take seriously the social opinions of someone who is so obviously mentally ill ??? "Reality is just the Mental Illness that we all share in common." ... psychiatrist Erich Fromm. 1966.
😂 you should see the cost of living in the USA. Just go shopping for food. The shopping value of the dollar is been cut in half. I know you are aware of that but you prefer to be dishonest and bias.
@Mike King "products have only gone up by Cents" Ok Mike, now you are really being dishonest. The price of the fuel has gone up 100% in less than 5 months and the price of food is only a couple of pennies higher? The price of diesel fuel has gone up 100 % which is used to transport food and other goods. That increase is passed on to the consumers.
@@adrianadonis852 I don't know where you claim to be from. But other than gas, prices haven't changed much except for the pandemic almost 2 years ago. And Russia was hit by the pandemic harder than it was in the US.
Sounds like depression. I've been through it and finally out of it with medical help. Your doubt and feeling says you're not doing enough, but you are. Keep it up. If you need a break, find some happy time here and there. Make sure that happy time isn't addictive, like a chemical release or some addictive activity. This is now a long-term battle and you've got to keep yourself level headed no matter what happens. If not for yourself, then for your family. You now have to manage yourself more closely and with greater care. Have you considered gardening?
You are a wonderful human being, Konstantin. Thank you for allowing room for your conscience. Thank you for maintaining your humanity. Thank you for knowing the difference between right and wrong. Don't feel powerless, you're making a difference. Kind regards from the UK.
I thank you too Konstantin, you are a good person and very brave, I have subscribed and look forward to hearing your thoughts and commontary in the future. Best of wishes from Australia.
The fact that you can still tell the truth without being banned or censored make me think there is still hope for Russia. I respect you for your courage.
There is obviously self censorship. For example he had to call it a “special operation”. And he cannot discuss certain issues at all, only refer to them obliquely.
You feel like you are not doing enough. Trust me, you are doing something great and you deserve respect for openly showing what's going on around you and inside you.
I feel for him too but this is necessary. The Russian people must suffer in order for anything to change as no western nations will step in to help. The hope is that the crumbling economy forces them to back out.
Hi Constantine. Mate I agree with you totally, this military action is a tragedy for both sides the Ukrainian People and the Russian People. You are doing your bit . I worry about your openness may cause you problems with the Russian authorities. So please be Careful, same for Russel. Regards David Attridge Australia
@@comancheflyer4903He knows norhing about Russia. Hes showing that on his tucker interview takedown which proves he has no knowledge of history or what happened.
Much respect for your bravery Konstantin. One man has caused hardship for the Russian population as well as inflicting terror on the good people of Ukraine. You are not responsible for this tragedy my friend, however the whole world knows who is... You are a good man, stay safe my friend.
I don’t really agree that “one man” is causing this. It is a collective responsibility, and only if together it can be solved. A responsibility that passes on for generations.
@@llejk When a political system is overseen by a tyranical dictator and fear permeates throughout that system, then that one individual is the catalyst. You could, however, 'blame' the remaining population for allowing themselves to be brainwashed... that leads to a very different conversation. I respect your opinion, wherever you are in the world, stay safe.
so i'm from Algeria, pretty sure a country most of you have never heard of and i really relate to you on a very personal level because our country operates the same manner rassia does, the only difference is that russia is economically much more successful compared to mine free media is practically none existent and a lot of ppl here hate the west and think they are plotting our end everyday of the year thanks to the state propaganda I'm really desperate to do something about it but i lack the courage you have to act on it, and i love and respect your character for doing what you believe is the right thing to do regardless of the risks you are a good person/
I can promise you that as someone from the U.K. nobody in the west is plotting Algerias downfall. You have absolutely nothing we need and nothing to worry about.
@@oscargrainger2962 i know this for sure but the colonial past of most europe doesn't help and the state knows this very well, they weaponize these stories to make ppl feel like the west is still the same hostile environment it was back in WW2 and what came before. and its sad to see that a lots of my ppl fall for that. i wish that my country would stand one with the west on the issue of Ukraine but I'm afraid we are years away from a successful western political and economical model.
This is probably one of the more important things citizens of Russia can do. Information and truth from the inside broadcast out. It might not feel like much to you but this is huge and you're going to reach a lot of people. Just stay safe.
From Australia. Thank you for making and sharing this video and for speaking so openly and honestly about the psychological effects that the conflict is having on you. Your thoughts and feelings are totally understandable but please remember that this conflict was not started by ordinary Russian people and you are not at fault. Your videos are valuable and are making an important contribution. Please keep making them if it is safe to do so and please take care of your mental health.
@@youpup33 it's crazy isn't it to see those videos of people supporting it and saying it has to be done. What kind of propaganda are they being fed to think it's justified? Unbelievable
You have changed me, an average Australian. Allowing folks to hear your thoughts, and understand the ‘impotence’ many of us share … and to give others the opportunity to recognise that fault lies elsewhere than with the Russian people themselves. Dictatorships have a way of making everyone ‘responsible’.. it’s one of the methods of control. Don’t ever believe you’re not making a difference. Be careful… don’t put yourself at risk … you are a good soul. Always keep that front of mind.
It brings it home when you think it could happen to us. Dad's generation had the draft to go to 'Nam, and as unpopular as it was, we were dragged into with the Yanks for years.
it's soke5hing I find myself having.to remember that the people of a country are usually good a.d around of heart. it's the govt and especially their foreign polic y makers that cause all the strife and suffering.
I'm going to try and be careful with how I phrase this comment. Be careful with simplistic lines of thinking like this. There does seem to be some truth in the idea that populations often get the governments they deserve. It's easy to say that in regards to democracies, but this can often be the case with authoritarian states also. I appreciate how much of a brutal thing that is to say when you consider some of the governments that have existed, and do exist. I'm not naive to that. Ultimately collectives are comprised of individuals, and if every individual acts as if they can do nothing but crawl into their little hole; nothing improves. If every individual acts as though their actions matter, the situation can improve. It's a strange scenario, where, on one hand, you kind of are irrelevant and inconsequential as an individual - but on the other hand, by acting in defiance of that, you allow the chance for people just like you to change the world through your collective effort. The individual human being is the ultimate foundational piece of the largest social structures we have. We are dwarfed by them - but we comprise them. While there are situations where it's just "their" fault - we should always ask how it is our own fault first. Sometimes we enable bad people. It's easy to blame "that guy over there"; but difficult to blame yourself. “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
wow, i cant belive it. a russian citizen who is brave enough to do videos like this? i was born in Moscow, now i live with my parents in the Western Hemisphere. I am very impressed by your courage. People like you give me hope! very honorable! Береги себя! Abo + like!
I just happened to click on your video. I really appreciate you using your voice and being self reflective on an incredibly difficult situation. I recently visited Poland and saw first hand on the Ukrainian/Polish border the mass migration to escape. The stories of Survivors were so moving. I felt helpless but proud that I bore witness and continued to tell their stories when I got back to America. Stay strong. Always happy to connect.
All the victims of the world just go to the USA! The can raise taxes and use the money to create welfare programs for them and find jobs for them working for the government
The weight of this is felt by a lot of us who have little control. You’re speaking up and trying to inform. That’s important. Thanks very much for making this video. Мир тебе, мой друг.
Your last comments about "not knowing what else to do" really touched me. Think about this: your video got to me here in Brazil, to the other end of the world. Do you know when I'd get that kind of information? Never. So yes, you're doing a lot... thank you for sharing. I worry that exposing yourself like this might bring consequences to you and your family. Please stay safe.
That is such a loving thing to say. I really appreciate you offering him comfort. Showing him how he's already changed the lives of the people who see his content.
Indeed. I am not impressed by clips like these. It takes a hard struggle to obtain freedom. . Making a UA-cam clip and complaining while their army is looting and raping does not impress me at all.
I'm actually amazed he can be as honest as he is being without repercussions so far (and all the while, we know he's holding back more of what he'd like to tell us because he wants to keep trying to inform us as best he can, without problems with the Russian Government!!!!). Thank you for your honesty and efforts.
An American woman here saying my heart breaks for you and I can feel your compassion. I have subscribed and hope my tiny show of support for you will help your pain. Our heart pain for The Ukraine is overwhelming!! This has brought me to tears. We even have changed our house lights to blue and yellow as a show of our support for the Ukrainian people. Many people in our neighborhood have also changed their garage lights to blue and yellow. I know it is only a tiny thing, but we just had to show our love and support for these brave people. God Bless you all and we will pray for you.
@@aur485 She is a decent person because it is natural for people to sympathize with the weak who are being terrorized by someone more powerful. The sick zombies are all those Z(ombie) patriots who support Putin and his senseless war of conquest against Ukraine. Most of those on the internet are cowards who would send others to their war but don't want to go to war themselves.
@@davids5126 I know that it is normal for the Anglo-Saxon world and their slaves to sympathize with the terrorists who bombed Russians in eastern Ukraine for 8 years. You haven't revealed anything new to me.
Do not despair, as It is written: 2 Peter 3: 13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Thank you so much for sending out this message, you're a brave man. It's amazing to see that in these modern times, with all the information channels we have at our disposal, it is still possible for one man to shake up the entire world, both East and West, and push us in a direction we really did not want to go. I wish you the best of luck, stay safe!
@@moncheri4501 if you think the ordinary Russian citizen agrees with all this then you are just as misled as most of them. Does it sound like this man supports what is going on in Ukraine? He is brave for posting this because without people like him ordinary Russians would only have the corrupt state media to rely on.
Hugs from Germany. We know the feeling of guilt and shame but don't think for a moment that we don't know who is responsible and who isn't. Wishing you strength and that the situation will improve for all of us !
Put¡n's military is raping childeren, killing civilians, looting and executing people. Makes me sick to my stomach. Do you sympathy for the Russians? Not me. Russians stood by let Put¡n steal elections... Put that Puppet M£d£vd£v to skirt the law then turned around stole another election. Look at the incompetence of Put¡ns Military..... His corrupt Generals stole the money to modernize the military or somebody did. GREED! Good!!! Im glad somebody did. I'd hate to see Russia organized. There'd be more raping etc. If you ask me the real Nazi's are the Russian military and Puty Poo Put¡n is none other than a modern day HITLER. Let's not forget the mobile cremation trucks or are they called mobile showers? 🤔
Yes we know who is the one to blaim! , No bullshit that's the fault of people who started unlawful brutal and horrifying attack to the independent country crossed it's borders with military forces and capture their land , killing it's civilians with cryminal acts caught in the act. Do not pretend you don't know what's going on.. face the truth!!!
I understand the impulsiveness of this situation but don't you think there is another side of story that's relying more on your own brands and local industries ?
Greetings from Norway - you are giving the Russian people a face in the world. I personally appreciate that, and I believe it is important for the time after. Many wounds will need to heal, empathy is the best medicine, and in times like this that is in short stock. I believe you help with that. Thank you.
@Vintage Bollinger серьезно??? Репарации кому???? ua-cam.com/video/6S5Mv_ADPSE/v-deo.html. Вы вообще понимаете что происходит????? Нет!!! Вы слепые котята!!!
you're brave to show that there are actually Russians that are aware of what is going on. Pray that all of this ends soon, and everyone's life gets better again
well there are western citizens thats knows going on.. all the west crippling itself due to sanctions.. and yet all countrys tries to find loopholes in them to keep trading with russia.. yeee the west is breaking itself on purpose.. to support what ?? N4zis who bombed east ukraine for 8 years ?
It’s a tragedy for everyone affected, but your video, strength, and courage gives me hope. Konstantin, my best wishes to you, Russell, and both your families.
Are you dense? This is not a tragedy. If you want to see tragedy, go to Ukraine. This is just the consequence of the complacency of the russian people on a large scale over 30 years. It's a pity, that some have to share this fate, but that's the price of being part of a nation and getting payed dividends earlier.
You are doing whatever you can, you are a wonderful human being. Hopefully more and more people in Russia will wake up and realize what’s going on and the regime won’t feel as secure and supported. These are things that lead to change.
These psychotic communist regimes will let their people and everyone else rot before they relinquish their power. Whether the citizens wake up or not the regime is unlikely to change.
Your streams and videos are important. I'm from Sweden and thanks to your videos i feel more sympathy towards Russians. I'm sure im not the only one. Your work is important, i belive it will help shorten the time needed to normalise relations once this nightmare is over.
definitely a tough time for everyone on this planet, I hope the best for everyone affected by this madness... thx for the content and always try to stay positive and optimistic.
@@SuperGraficas I am not positive and Optimistic getting gas while that Potato President of ours Joe Biden can't keep the prices stable and low, I live in California USA. and it's run by a leftist governor, everything is high prices, there is no American Dream anymore if you want to come move to America while Leftist Liberal governments run the country lol
I work literally next to this shopping Moll since 2017 and occasionally go there for lunch. It was never full. There was always free spots at the food court.
Hang in there. The best way you can help is to keep producing these videos - you are a small, but still important, part of a broader movement. You're a civilian that didn't get to chose or vote for the decisions made by the people at the top, this is not your fault. Just please keep making videos!!! Peace, and stay safe, from New Zealand.
Hold on, Konstantin! You are an amazing man, I'm sending All my kindest wishes to you and your family! 💙 Your little party with Russel in that supermarket made me smile 😊 Let's hope that better days for All the people in both Russia and Ukraine are coming soon 🙏
This has been an enthralling video. I guess we get the pulse of an economy quite realistically from looking at the malls ( cars parked , shopping cart loads , the lighting and escalators turned off, and reduced trading hours commence ). Another apparent indicator in the 1930s was freight train lengths and frequency. We can't forget to t a ke note of the number of cranes in the cities as an indicator of optimism and prosperity . The top man has alway been psychopathic. We saw it for the kursk disaster in murmansk. The Chechnya affair was criminal. We kept our fingers crossed and hoped for the best , then journalists began to disappear. Russia could've had a prosperous thriving economy along with a new age of enlightenment but something held everything backwards.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this with the entire world. This documentary confirms what US government is telling us that Russia is suffering serious consequences for attacking Ukraine.
Something that I didn't hear mentioned in this piece, is that a lot of the people who were shopping in these more expensive places in Russia probably worked for western companies who have left Russia, so they no longer have the income to shop all the time. Some of them also probably left the country. It's really such a shame because Russia just until recently did have a lot of middle-class people living pretty well.
We are feeling your pain & extend our heartfelt support for your efforts to bring attention to the unimaginable suffering of the people in Ukraine & those in Russia who are aware of the situation in Slava
What about attention for people who suffered in Iraq, Siria, Libia, Afganistan, Yugoslavia and dozen more who NATO and US attacked because of "democracy" ?
If it's any consolation, I think a lot of us feel that we aren't doing enough in response to the situation in Ukraine - even those of us who aren't Russian! In any event, you are doing much more than most - in very difficult and precarious circumstances.You're a good guy who is a credit to his country...it's just perhaps, in a sad way, at the moment, your country doesn't deserve you (or at least *a few people* in it don't). You have a good heart - look after it and don't let it get crushed by the actions of those you have no control over. Take care.
I see what you are telling us BUT!!! I am from the good Ole U.S. Of A and let me point out something you might not know. Everything here has gone up at least tipple. Coffee that I have paid 5.99 is now on sale for 13.99. Gas is 5.00 a gallon. Potatoes for a 10 pound bag use to be 5.dollars and not it is 12.00. Hamburg use to be 2.99 a pound and is not 8.99 a pound. 3 pounds of Bacon I use to pay 9,00 is now 18.00.and 21.00 ... That is just about food now people are having rent issues . They use to pay 600 a month in rent now they must pay 1800. Light bills have gone up. I pay 100 just for net a month. We too are digging deeper in our pocket's
It’s a vicious cycle. The stores keep carrying less of what you want, forces you to go to Amazon, especially if, like me, you don’t live in a large city. I need quality athletic shoes, not Nike which are overpriced junk, but that’s all they sell here. So, I go to online retailers.
Hi Constantin, thank you for bringing us a little window on how the Russian people are being affected by what’s going on in Eastern Europe. I hope this craziness will stop soon for everybody’s sake. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've visited Russia a few times for business in recent years as an engineer and was always treated with kindness and respect. They knew I was from the US and seemed to have no ill will towards me at all. Good people. Hard working. Bad government. Democracy is messy as hell...but it sure beats a dictator.
Here in the USA, the office of the presidency is the dictatorship, then they just throw the president under the bus every four years so the people maintain confidence in the system. But people are waking up to it. This shit is all by design.
Russia and others countries are typically several years behind in the way of commercialism than most western countries. The dead or "Dying Malls" is not unusual. It is quite common in many US cities. Most malls will NEVER recover from this. Very informative and fascinating glimpse! You speak THE TRUTH. I fear for your safety and well being. Stay SAFE !
I disagree. While I respect and applaud this man, its an undeniable fact that things would be different if russians cared as much about what their government is doing as the rest of the world cares, going back years, not just months. Thumbs up to your comment and this video, but its clear now that one groups 'apolitical'ness/apathy/avoidance is another groups murdered, raped, and destroyed.
Sure the Russian people are walking around with their eyes closed…. Only they can change things in Russia… The Kremlin will not change direction until forced…
I understand you, even me in France I feel guilty that nothing was done in 2014 and I hope that there will be more and more people in your country who think like you, who act like you ! Stay safe
well problem is that 2014 things was actually done to cause all of this. if west kept their hands of of ukraine, no coup, no deaths and no tragedy we will witness for all this years...
I appreciate your message and I do believe that every single one of us whether we live in a persons country or not there is something we all can do every single one of us instead of only saying my prayers and thoughts we can be sending money through I relief efforts, we can try to find ways to take in refugees… we can protest, there is a lot we can do to help fellow humans
Good to see you together sharing ideas and having some fun in this sad mess. Take care and be positive. No one can take the freedom of a man who can read and has knowledge of himself and the world at large. You are free and always will be...you can never really go back once you know freedom. Much love to you and Russell from the USA.
Thanks for the insight guys, very interesting. Here in the UK we're not noticing any shortages of food or drink (at the moment), but prices have gone up here too, including for petrol, gas and electricity. Inflation is officially running at about 8%, but in reality it is higher. Just this week I have noticed in Lidl that grated (250g) cheese has increased from £2.49 to £2.75 - a 10% increase from one day to the next. Other items I've noticed have increased by as much as 30% in the last couple of months (sorry I can't think of examples), but many other items have stayed about the same, like bread, meats, fruit, vegetables etc. Ok they may have gone up 5% or so, but nothing too badly. But the supermarkets have definitely been taking advantage of the situation. This is all from my experience as the shopper in our family. I have noticed some things selling out, like pasta and rice (I think some people know what's coming), but nothing else really, but that will change I think. I have started stocking up again, while things are still plentiful and relatively cheap. Sadly, I think things are going to get progressively worse, very quickly, throughout the world. I don't give a shite what people think, this has all happened by design. Planned, caused and encouraged by The Powers That Be. No coincidence. Just like the last 2 years, every country is doing the same thing, at the same time, with the same results. Really makes you think.
I must confess I have been really angry at Russia and Russians. This has been an eye opener and I am hoping by watching more of your videos I will be better able to separate the people from the government - so thank you and be safe
We Americans went through this after 911....most of us just wanted to clean up the mess and forgive...but bush and gang wanted to destroy the middle east...so the world thought most Americans were evil but only half of America is evil as was evidenced by the election of the sadistic trump....half of any population is gonna lean towards evil unfortunately...most Russians are good people
so now you mad at russian government? at the government that help people to stay safe in LDNR, the government that trying to resist east NATO extension? you must be brainwashed
Comes from an American... Sweet home Alabama, Lord I'm comin' home to you... Double standards and even beyond I want to witness a day that Americans will get any sanctions what they have been doing for centuries... :D
It’s going to take many years for Russia to bounce back from this, both reputation and financially. Respect to you sir for being so honest and offering your insight on the situation.
It's actually the west that will take years to recover its economy and its reputation. You do realize only 40 countries support the sanctions dont you? 240 countries do not.
@@SeanKiernan420 Russia can survive without mecdonalds and ikea, they will recover, the west, and particularly the EU countries cant survive without russian gas and oil. We're already seeing the effects. Inflation, prices going up, and thats just the beginning.
Its going to take a hell of a lot longer for Ukraine to "bounce" back from their "situation", so I don't worry about the Russians and their present state of affairs. They made their own bed.
@@xstugee they didn’t, they are victims of the regime as well. If Ukrainians having it worse, doesn’t change the fact that there are millions of victims in Russia too. World is not black and white, never was, never will be.
You have put into words how many people especially here in Britain feel about the nightmare happening in Ukraine. We feel so helpless about the situation. Our parents had to live here when the Nazis (the real ones) were blitzing our beloved country whilst most of our men were fighting overseas, many of them never returned. Ukraine didn't ask to have their lives shattered, innocent people being thrown into mass graves, women being raped and life savings stolen & their houses destroyed along with precious memories. Thank you for showing us your reality and let's hope the Russian people will eventually get the courage to call the Kremlin to account, very soon. 🙏🏻🇺🇦🇬🇧
So someone with a wolfsangel, Hitler salute, swastika flag, torch, fairy tale, to pay homage to a Nazi perpetrator, don't you think that's Nazis? And also with the statement that Jews or Russians are not people. For you, these are not Nazis? Since 2014, every European and world reputable media has reported about the nationalist and corrupt side of Ukraine, this is attached via public broadcasting in Germany, BBC, aljazeera, time, Spiegel, Amnesty International etc.... Coincidentally, these have reported 2,014 to 2,022 over the nationalist Ukraine, and now all at once in three months we hear nothing and suddenly it is said that it all Russian propaganda. How strange. Should I send you the full link? The stupid is UA-cam would then delete the comment.
"survival Russia" is a family living on a farm in Siberia, the wife is a primary school teacher and Lars is a UA-cam vlogger. Despite the people in the area being obviously poor, they have an affluence that does not seem credible. Best wishes to you from Australia and I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! It's comforting to see a russian with a good heart and a perfectly adequate understanding of the state of the world. I think you show some signs of a clinical depression, and if your state gets worse you might not have the energy to make videos anymore. So please go to your physician for a checkup in time. I don't wish anyone to be clinically depressed, but I would actually like to see all russians react more like you - with humbleness and grief instead of resentment and denial. Your agony is obviously painful, but it's also a sign of real personal strength. The soul-searching attitude you display is actually the only way out for the russian people and the russian nation. Without a complete surrender and a profound atonement, Russia will remain a poor and despised outcast; not for years or decades, but for generations. And that would be a tragedy for everyone. Right now, you can at least take some pride in being a role model for your fellow-contrymen.
Fairdinkum Russia has nothing to repent for however the US, NATO. UK, Australia, New Zealand and other allies sins have reached outer darkness , there is no forgiveness for their global atrocities, leaving a trail of death and destruction all over the globe.
Thank-you for sharing the circumstances in Russia and, of course your feelings. Many people in the West understand how you feel and want peace. You are not responsible for this outrage. Keep expressing yourself through your videos. This will help.
Thank you for sharing! To see what is happening to the average citizen without all the media nonsense... it's so good that you can share with the world your daily life. I live in the U.S... South Dakota specifically, an already remote location by our standards. So if your videos are reaching me... you are doing something right. We need to see what good people like you are going through. PLEASE keep sharing as long as you possibly can.
This is so much different from some of the other Russian UA-camrs I've watched. Yes, they are feeling down, understandably, but they are pretty optimistic and show how well Russians and the Businesses are doing. They have also shown some other businesses that ARE closed down but also show other opportunities, that even if they are sanctioned, still operate under different terms/ rules. I guess it's like one UA-camr said. She is focusing on what is good and not on what is bad...
Well I’m happy to see that I’m happy to see the sanctions are working while my people in my country are dying and being raped sorry I have family in Russia too and it’s a devastation to everyone
Poor Russians! But as long they're able to get drunk on vodka on a daily basis and they're allowed to abuse their kids, they should be fine... #wewonttellmom
As much as I hate russia, I think those sanctions doesn't help the cause .. 99% of civilians have nothing to do with those "special operations" and pootin is completely uneffected by those sanctions, he has his own sources for everything .. so what's the point? What all those people have to do, is come together and knock pootin off the throne.
As an American with a Grandmother who came here from Russia to give her children more freedom and opportunity, it's heartbreaking to see all that is happening, and as always it's everyday Russians who will pay the price for things they have zero say in...💔 I pray for an end to this..
@@markomarkovic487 that’s true Marko, but prices here in the West have gone up maybe 10% in a year, looking at Konstantin’s video it looks like prices in Russia have gone up 200% in a few months. Even if that’s exaggerated it’s still many times more than in the West. Against a lower average income that’s got to hurt much more.
I agree- it's not the everyday Russians that should suffer, but those who instigate the conflicts. The same as in North Korea, the Middle East, etc. Hoping this ends soon.
This has been one of the best reports I’ve seen coming from inside Russia, together with reports from the 1420 channel. Why is it so good in my eyes? You show honest and actual footage of what’s going on and how this ‘special operation’ is hurting the civilians. And there is not much you or anyone else can do about it, just to show what’s going on. And believe me, what you show is perfectly understandable. Besides the reason that this ‘special operation’ got to be started, it is so useless and sad for all involved. I do feel for all of the people on both sides, and hope that the powers that be come to their senses and stop whatever they had in mind. There are only losers, starting with the people who didn’t want this in the first place. Please keep uploading these videos, so we can witness what this ‘event’ is doing to peaceful and sensible people.
@@verakehrli5636 I think that you might have been influenced too much by this so called ‘expert’. Might I point out that in every country you have so called ‘nazis’. People who have sympathy for Hitler and his extreme thoughts. But this guy you are pointing out to me in this video is not a real expert, and he’s proven to be paid for by the Russians. Please look at other sources too and use your common sense before you follow these kind of people.
I know it's hard on individual Russians but I do hope that more American brands close their Russian branches. One would hope that the pressure on the Russian economy would stop Putin's aggression. I fear for the brave people filming and posting videos critical of the regime. Be safe and be careful!
What a lovely heart warming story! May it continue to get worse exponentially until they leave The Ukraine and make FULL restitution including payments to the families of the people that they have murdered!
We are all with you, I’m American and most feel sick about this.. We do not have companies leaving but our prices have skyrocketed as well. Please keep yourself and family safe, above all remember this will end. Take care.
In the Netherlands prices rise as well. Building materials are sky rocketing. But europe is investing a lot in green energy now to get independent from Russia. It will be hard but we will get it.

To be honest, that looks like a lot of the shopping malls around where I live in the US. So much shopping is now moved online as the prices and convenience of home delivery has taken hold and is the new normal after the pandemic lockdowns.
There are many videos with shopping malls completely empty in the US. Try to look for the Californian based real estate agent, Jeremiah Babe channel. He have many videos with malls in California witch is completely deserted and empty.
The only reason they are open is because of their government cooking the books to perpetuate the myth that all is ok. As soon as people can't feed their families this facade will fail.
Great video! Wow, I was surprised at how empty the parking lot was at that large mall. Also at how many of the big-name stores that had closed- Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, Uni-Glo, and many others. And the price increases on staple food items at the supermarket- I was really surprised by that. One example was the bag of sugar- it costs 2X now than just 4 or 5 months ago. And many, many other food items cost much more than they did at the beginning of 2022, just 6 months ago. But things will probably get even worse before they get better, **IF** the situation over there gets better. I really, really hope that we aren't living through the very beginning of WW3 right now. Stay safe over there, and keep up the excellent videos! The videos give people living outside of Russia a glimpse of what daily life is like there. But, sad to say, I'm sure things are much, much worse in Ukraine, especially in the eastern and southeastern part of the country. The Russian military forces need to leave Ukraine, but of course that's not going to happen anytime soon. But I guess we can at least pray for peace in Ukraine. Keep up with your videos. They are good.
The true and heartfelt message at the end of this video is important for us to see. Even living in New Zealand, the safest country in the world, i feel the fear of an uncertain future for my children. These videos connect all the honest and kind hearted people of the world together.
My children immigrated to NZ but are sooo disturbing to learn that your pm is a proud member of the New World Order.....so we will stay on our knees...luckily my children knows God and are true believers.....hope NZ will stay a safe country.....all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

You are one of the good guys. Well traveled and have an understanding of the world and most important a conscience and a good heart. What disturbs me the most is watching and listening to the hatred your fellow country men and women have for Ukraine people. I think envy and their own poverty drive these feeling.
Primarily people are buying into the “Nazi” theme that is being perpetuated in your country. Or in other words, if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance,baffle them with bullshit. Todays people only know about Nazism from history. It’s done, it’s over. Never be another Nazi in this world . Stay strong. Good video by the way.
I agree these guys have beautiful hearts and I know that there are Russian people that feel the same they are so sad and devastated horrified and feel empowered to do anything. I think it’s important for all of us across the world to do anything in our power to help the Russians that are actively resisting. I think discussions like these bring us closer to brainstorming how we can support those who are dissenters.
@@INSIDERUSSIA I have been making numerous comments my heart goes out to you I know that you are not many other Russians are completely heartbroken horrified dismayed and feel a sense of a deep guilt for what is happening. I completely appreciate what you were doing
Thank you for sharing and acknowledging what is happening in Russia and Ukraine. I hope this bloodshed stops sooner than later as well. Take care of yourself.
This feeling of helplessness you have is shared by thinking people all over the world. We are all horrified and in anguish about what is happening in Ukraine. It is important to remember that there is very little we can do to stop it. What we can do, and what should bring us comfort, is to give to causes which help in areas of conflict around the world. I live in Canada and I am well aware that my situation is vastly different from yours. I feel your pain with regard to the uncertainty you are going through with your job. I also think the combined stresses of everything are affecting you emotionally. You need to talk to a professional if possible; and maintain strong bonds and communication with your family and friends. Remember, the common people the world over want peace and friendship with each other; we are all striving for the same thing, a peaceful life. Keep doing these videos and don't lose hope. Know that you are doing everything you can within your power to help and like the rest of us, we can only do that and wait for the storm to pass. Pray if you believe, seek inner peace in nature if that is your path. Stay strong; if you are not strong, you cannot help others. I am thinking of you.
This is so good for the Russian people that their money is not going to the western oligarchs who use slaves to manufacture all that tat. Every one of those stores are western corporations. They need to close permanently. It would be good for Canada too if they stop buying the rubbish that is poisoning the world.
We’ll said, many of us everyday americans only wish for peace & prosperity for the people of the world. I personally don’t go in for politics and blaming. The powerful ones that control the decisions have to live with their choices, while many of us regular people are just members of the world’s population. When I see the destruction and death, I only see a waste, no matter who’s fault it is, it’s just a waste. Take care everyone, everywhere. Hopefully sometime soon we can go back to living in peace?
KONSTANTIN, the last couple of years have been really hard...pandemic, political unrest (in the U.S.), climate change, inflation, and now Ukraine. I know so many people who are exhausted from all the stress. And I can only imagine how you must be feeling with the economy in Russia starting to feel the sanctions. I tell my friends, and my family, that there is not much you can do about the news in the world that is depressing. But you *can* do something in your own circle of people (friends, family, neighbours) by bringing positive energy wherever you go and with whomever you meet. A smile, a cheerful greeting, whistling songs, all sorts of things like that. Try not to focus on the world so much, but instead focus on your loved ones, and people you meet. Spread love, and it will reduce the fear around you. Hang in there my big Russian teddy bear! You are a good man and the world needs more of you.
I can hear the pain in your voice. Imagine what Ukraine is going through with the total destruction of their peaceful country. Hundreds and hundreds of Ukrainian troops seem to be disappearing. Have yet to hear of a death toll. Can’t believe this is happening in the 21st century!! So shocked how the world has shrugged their shoulders………hence the Sanctions against the country with the invading army, Russia.
Ukraine a peaceful country, you are having a laugh. The OSCE monitoring the Dombass recorded over 1000 violations of the ceasefire by Ukrainian forces 2 days before the liberation armies of the the DPR, LPR and Russian forces started the special military operation to free the Donbass peoples from Ukrainian aggression and oppression .
From an American. I feel for the average people everywhere! Our problems are no comparison to yours but we are having HUGE hikes in the price of food, gasoline, building materials and on and on. Wishing you and your families the best.
The prices in Canada and the US have gone up crazy, don't just think it is Russia only because of western sanctions. The sanctions hit Canada and the US worse than Russia.
I think many Russians feel inside the same like you. Be proud that you at least are doing something about it, and not just ignoring what is going on. It will be a few difficult years, but let us pray that it will become better soon.
Exactly I give them so much credit for trying to do anything at all. Every single human being can do something within their power to create change even though they may feel powerless they aren’t powerless and these two guys are demonstrating that they can in fact reach out and spread messages.

Thank you for acknowledging everything that is going on and ensuring your own safety first. In the past few decades, what our governments decides to do is not a reflection of the people. Unfortuantely, it is WE THE PEOPLE that get affected the most. High ranking government officials just sit in comfort while we suffer. I hope you stay safe and I look forward to seeing more from you. Thank you for your service in speaking with the rest of the world.
Gotta love the tandem you guys have: the rational Ozzy and the defeatist Russian. Says a lot about how people from different countries respond to crises.
Thank you for your sincerity. Good to hear how a Russian citizen feels about this. Please keep making videos and sharing more about Russia and your life there. Stay strong. Be well.
exactly, REVOLT! go to the streets (esp.Kremlin) every single day, express your displeasure and anger for this totalitarian. When they (military) use deadly force, you all fight with it too, molotov cocktails, home made bomb, knives, hammers etc etc
Sir, the world knows this “Special Operations” in Ukraine is not done in the Russian peoples name. This is in just one persons name. The West can only do so much and unfortunately it impacts the people. I wish you well and I hope we can go back to normality soon. Much respect Sir and kind regards.
The dread you feel... Has been my normal feeling as American since 2016. The dread of "why is my government misbehaving" and what does it mean for my personal safety. "What can I do?" I ask this every day when I do not want to get out of bed. Every day, people in my country use guns and kill other citizens because of built up frustration. You and I have one option. One choice. We get up, put clothes on, and walk into each day one foot in front of the other. Your stream is important! You, a good human who is Russian were able to speak to another human in America - and we both face the dread of evil people while longing for a world where everyone looks for the good in other people.
It's a shame really. This video shows clearly that a russian/western friendship or even brotherhood is possible and yet politicians deny this. Konstantin, if you are reading this, you mentioned you felt like you were helpless and not able to do anything to help the situation. With this video alone, showing russian/western friendship, you are doing more than you can ever imagine.
Not being a politician, honesty dictates: when a “brother” invades a home, the parents of a little girl hide her in a garbage can. Here she can hear her father being tortured and killed, her mother attacked and killed, and her brother forcibly taken to an undisclosed location in Russian territory. Governments begin and end wars. But wars are fought by individuals - person to person. And many victims will never call Russia “brother.” 2/3 of all Ukrainian children are refugees; i.e. homeless. Russians make very poor brothers.
The worst part is seeing America politicans try to be friendly to Russia, only for Russian politicians to completely shut them down every single second. Its insanity sometimes. Letting Americans awkwardly march on the red square for V day celebrations was honestly supposed to be a landmark in human history. Russia and America are basically next door neighbhors. Its such a shame sometimes.
Maladyetz for your honesty. I lived and worked in Russia from 1990-96. The changes have been amazing. I stay in touch with students and friends from many of the CIS republics. I sense your collective empathy and the pain of conscience, and hope you find a way to preserve your health through all of this. From life experience, I feel it is a fine balance between recognizing suffering, being aware, and ....simultaneously cultivating a maybe paradoxical inner peace, simply in order to stay healthy. I am not sure how to articulate it. Feeling responsible for one's nation...must be a rare choice. Empathy has always been a path to walk cautiously. Stay healthy. Continue your Maladyetz ways. The video is Zamechatelnye.
Hang in there and let's hope this is over soon. We need more like you to share your experiences as a Russian in Russia. Hope is the last thing that leaves us, without hope we can just lay down and die. You got yourself a new subscriber! /Love from Sweden
@@Bertiesghost Sadly not. And it's gonna get worse before it gets better. :/ Russia, Ukraine and the poorer countries relying on food from these regions will be the ones worst off. But it's affecting everybody.
Foreign companies had to leave and close all business. On May 12, a decree of nationalization of all the properties left was made. The prices are lowered due to the excessive quantity in the warehouses. This person absolutely does not know what he is talking about.
I can only imagine how it would feel to see your homeland destroying itself. Russia could be a great country but it's so off course and terrible. You said it when you said you continue to pray. It's really all we common folks can do. It's out of our hands and it's scary to think how this could all turn out. I know that most of us here don't think that the average Russian is responsible for this mess. And you certainly can't say or do much as the penalties are terrible. I feel for you but stay strong and keep telling the story of what's happening and keep the world informed. Thank you for doing what you can and it's more than you realise.

Thank you for your video and heartfelt comments. Over the past several months, I’ve wondered what the Russian people know and think about the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine. Here in the US, we are also sick watching the death and destruction in Ukraine and pray for peace.
Really ? Have you been watching for 8 years ? The Ukrainians have been killing Donbass people for 8 years . 16 thousand civilians killed . You seem not very interested in that . Or it was not shown on American tv .
Just remember that not all is as seems when portrayed by western MSM…it is so so easy for them to portray a particular narrative with images and words.
Russian people know A LOT more about Ukraine than people in the West. It is taking you "past several months" to get wonder. And people in Russia have been seeing the crimes, murders of russians in Ukraine, growing fascism in the neighboring country for 8 YEARS!
Thank you for acknowledging what is happening to the extent that you can. As someone who is both Ukrainian and Russian, it has horrified and shocked me how many Russians don't seem to care whatsoever what their government and army is doing in Ukraine.
Privet Alina! I had watched you for about 2 years before the 24th Feb. Love your adventures. Commented a few times. My channel was called Letters To King then.
Then lately I thought about you quite a few times remembering how you loved St Petersburg and Kiev where your family and how his event is tearing you apart. I'm kinda feeling the same way, torn apart. Love both Ukraine and Russia, what's happening is beyond tragedy. Feeling absolutely helpless. Thanks for commenting.

Watch what is going to happen in the west soon. Sanctions will hurt west as never before but russia will recover because they have energy which is needed for any progress. I wouldnt be nervous if stupid goods are not for sale in hypermarkets. Who cares? People in russia will adapt as they always do but I understand if a pampered boy/girl cries for not having their burger, fancy clothes or the latest phone, TV, sofa...

I wonder what the shopping experience is like in Mariupol. I am going to guess IKEA of Mariupol would be at least somewhat less busy than normal.

You suffer so that they can suffer.
Here in the US it’s the same, high prices at the pumps. I’ve noticed groceries have really began to increase as well, but like you, I don’t get angry with the current situation.

You are NOT responsible Konstantin. You are a bright light in a dark country.
Note that although some shops are selling products from companies that have left Russia, they are doing it mostly (or totally) from existing inventory. When that inventory is gone it will be hard to replace.
Hi, my friends. It's so brave of you both to talk out; it's been a great shock to us all, as we wonder what will happen and wish it would all stop. I hope it will return and pace with our nations,stay safe
It was good to listen to you. I think you are reminding us non-Russians that Russian people are just like us... so, I would say that you are communicating with the world. This situation won't last forever. Greetings from Finland!
Thank you!
@@INSIDERUSSIA No, thank YOU. This was a good reminder about the importance of communication between people. (I miss trips to St.Petersburgh :) So, what you are doing is important, for us "others" but also... sort of public relations on behalf of Russian people.
Konstantin, even Oskar Schindler felt that he wasn’t doing enough for the Jews in WW2. The answer to that is that we can only do what we can and trust me you are doing wonderfully well. None of us can predict where this will all lead or for how long or the outcome for any of us, and the only certainty is that there will be pain, all around. What you do is deeply appreciated!
@@missmerrily4830 Well said. I completely agree.
I'm deeply surprised that with this amount of vocal scepticism and some criticism for current state of affairs you are allowed to let us see and understand what's happening.
Please don’t take this upon yourself. You are doing everything possible. The world is in pain.
Thank you!

@Mike King "products have only gone up by Cents"
Ok Mike, now you are really being dishonest. The price of the fuel has gone up 100% in less than 5 months and the price of food is only a couple of pennies higher?
The price of diesel fuel has gone up 100 % which is used to transport food and other goods. That increase is passed on to the consumers.
@@adrianadonis852 I don't know where you claim to be from. But other than gas, prices haven't changed much except for the pandemic almost 2 years ago. And Russia was hit by the pandemic harder than it was in the US.
Sounds like depression. I've been through it and finally out of it with medical help. Your doubt and feeling says you're not doing enough, but you are. Keep it up. If you need a break, find some happy time here and there. Make sure that happy time isn't addictive, like a chemical release or some addictive activity.
This is now a long-term battle and you've got to keep yourself level headed no matter what happens. If not for yourself, then for your family. You now have to manage yourself more closely and with greater care. Have you considered gardening?
You are a wonderful human being, Konstantin. Thank you for allowing room for your conscience. Thank you for maintaining your humanity. Thank you for knowing the difference between right and wrong. Don't feel powerless, you're making a difference. Kind regards from the UK.
I thank you too Konstantin, you are a good person and very brave, I have subscribed and look forward to hearing your thoughts and commontary in the future. Best of wishes from Australia.
The fact that you can still tell the truth without being banned or censored make me think there is still hope for Russia. I respect you for your courage.

Yeah, thanks for the content, mate. Keep your chin up, it's a great country, just a few bad decision makers.
That's because he didn't actually criticism the Russian government directly.
I probably wouldn't either if I lived there...
There is obviously self censorship. For example he had to call it a “special operation”. And he cannot discuss certain issues at all, only refer to them obliquely.
Forcing people to censor themselves is SUCCESSFUL censorship.
You feel like you are not doing enough. Trust me, you are doing something great and you deserve respect for openly showing what's going on around you and inside you.
I feel for him too but this is necessary. The Russian people must suffer in order for anything to change as no western nations will step in to help. The hope is that the crumbling economy forces them to back out.

You have changed me, an average Australian. Allowing folks to hear your thoughts, and understand the ‘impotence’ many of us share … and to give others the opportunity to recognise that fault lies elsewhere than with the Russian people themselves. Dictatorships have a way of making everyone ‘responsible’.. it’s one of the methods of control.
Don’t ever believe you’re not making a difference. Be careful… don’t put yourself at risk … you are a good soul. Always keep that front of mind.
It brings it home when you think it could happen to us. Dad's generation had the draft to go to 'Nam, and as unpopular as it was, we were dragged into with the Yanks for years.
Remember the Russians have had this type of government for around 100 years, I don't sympathise with them.
you sound very impotent
it's soke5hing I find myself having.to remember that the people of a country are usually good a.d around of heart. it's the govt and especially their foreign polic y makers that cause all the strife and suffering.
I'm going to try and be careful with how I phrase this comment. Be careful with simplistic lines of thinking like this. There does seem to be some truth in the idea that populations often get the governments they deserve. It's easy to say that in regards to democracies, but this can often be the case with authoritarian states also. I appreciate how much of a brutal thing that is to say when you consider some of the governments that have existed, and do exist. I'm not naive to that.
Ultimately collectives are comprised of individuals, and if every individual acts as if they can do nothing but crawl into their little hole; nothing improves. If every individual acts as though their actions matter, the situation can improve. It's a strange scenario, where, on one hand, you kind of are irrelevant and inconsequential as an individual - but on the other hand, by acting in defiance of that, you allow the chance for people just like you to change the world through your collective effort. The individual human being is the ultimate foundational piece of the largest social structures we have. We are dwarfed by them - but we comprise them.
While there are situations where it's just "their" fault - we should always ask how it is our own fault first. Sometimes we enable bad people. It's easy to blame "that guy over there"; but difficult to blame yourself.

This has been an enthralling video. I guess we get the pulse of an economy quite realistically from looking at the malls ( cars parked , shopping cart loads , the lighting and escalators turned off, and reduced trading hours commence ). Another apparent indicator in the 1930s was freight train lengths and frequency. We can't forget to t a ke note of the number of cranes in the cities as an indicator of optimism and prosperity . The top man has alway been psychopathic. We saw it for the kursk disaster in murmansk. The Chechnya affair was criminal. We kept our fingers crossed and hoped for the best , then journalists began to disappear. Russia could've had a prosperous thriving economy along with a new age of enlightenment but something held everything backwards.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this with the entire world. This documentary confirms what US government is telling us that Russia is suffering serious consequences for attacking Ukraine.
US leaders are liars.
Вы верите своему правительству - убийце?
Something that I didn't hear mentioned in this piece, is that a lot of the people who were shopping in these more expensive places in Russia probably worked for western companies who have left Russia, so they no longer have the income to shop all the time. Some of them also probably left the country. It's really such a shame because Russia just until recently did have a lot of middle-class people living pretty well.
There are companies like McDonalds that is still paying, @ least until they can unload their interest in a communist regime.

I see what you are telling us BUT!!! I am from the good Ole U.S. Of A and let me point out something you might not know. Everything here has gone up at least tipple. Coffee that I have paid 5.99 is now on sale for 13.99. Gas is 5.00 a gallon. Potatoes for a 10 pound bag use to be 5.dollars and not it is 12.00. Hamburg use to be 2.99 a pound and is not 8.99 a pound. 3 pounds of Bacon I use to pay 9,00 is now 18.00.and 21.00 ... That is just about food now people are having rent issues . They use to pay 600 a month in rent now they must pay 1800. Light bills have gone up. I pay 100 just for net a month. We too are digging deeper in our pocket's
the malls are empty in usa too, but for a different reason. No sanctions but stores cannot compete with amazon or other online stores
Only the high-end malls seem to be doing well.
This is the beginning of the end for Russian mall too
Not in Russia
Interesting.
It’s a vicious cycle. The stores keep carrying less of what you want, forces you to go to Amazon, especially if, like me, you don’t live in a large city. I need quality athletic shoes, not Nike which are overpriced junk, but that’s all they sell here. So, I go to online retailers.

I've visited Russia a few times for business in recent years as an engineer and was always treated with kindness and respect. They knew I was from the US and seemed to have no ill will towards me at all. Good people. Hard working. Bad government.
Democracy is messy as hell...but it sure beats a dictator.
Thank you very much for your warm words. God bless you.
Here in the USA, the office of the presidency is the dictatorship, then they just throw the president under the bus every four years so the people maintain confidence in the system. But people are waking up to it. This shit is all by design.
Russia and others countries are typically several years behind in the way of commercialism than most western countries.
The dead or "Dying Malls" is not unusual. It is quite common in many US cities. Most malls will NEVER recover from this.
Very informative and fascinating glimpse! You speak THE TRUTH. I fear for your safety and well being. Stay SAFE !
You shouldn't feel guilty mate, also we all know it has nothing to do with the majority of Russian public.
Great video keep uploading please 🙏
I disagree. While I respect and applaud this man, its an undeniable fact that things would be different if russians cared as much about what their government is doing as the rest of the world cares, going back years, not just months. Thumbs up to your comment and this video, but its clear now that one groups 'apolitical'ness/apathy/avoidance is another groups murdered, raped, and destroyed.
Sure the Russian people are walking around with their eyes closed….
Only they can change things in Russia… The Kremlin will not change direction until forced…

well problem is that 2014 things was actually done to cause all of this. if west kept their hands of of ukraine, no coup, no deaths and no tragedy we will witness for all this years...
I appreciate your message and I do believe that every single one of us whether we live in a persons country or not there is something we all can do every single one of us instead of only saying my prayers and thoughts we can be sending money through I relief efforts, we can try to find ways to take in refugees… we can protest, there is a lot we can do to help fellow humans

Thanks for the insight guys, very interesting. Here in the UK we're not noticing any shortages of food or drink (at the moment), but prices have gone up here too, including for petrol, gas and electricity. Inflation is officially running at about 8%, but in reality it is higher. Just this week I have noticed in Lidl that grated (250g) cheese has increased from £2.49 to £2.75 - a 10% increase from one day to the next. Other items I've noticed have increased by as much as 30% in the last couple of months (sorry I can't think of examples), but many other items have stayed about the same, like bread, meats, fruit, vegetables etc. Ok they may have gone up 5% or so, but nothing too badly. But the supermarkets have definitely been taking advantage of the situation. This is all from my experience as the shopper in our family. I have noticed some things selling out, like pasta and rice (I think some people know what's coming), but nothing else really, but that will change I think. I have started stocking up again, while things are still plentiful and relatively cheap. Sadly, I think things are going to get progressively worse, very quickly, throughout the world. I don't give a shite what people think, this has all happened by design. Planned, caused and encouraged by The Powers That Be. No coincidence. Just like the last 2 years, every country is doing the same thing, at the same time, with the same results. Really makes you think.

I must confess I have been really angry at Russia and Russians. This has been an eye opener and I am hoping by watching more of your videos I will be better able to separate the people from the government - so thank you and be safe
We Americans went through this after 911....most of us just wanted to clean up the mess and forgive...but bush and gang wanted to destroy the middle east...so the world thought most Americans were evil but only half of America is evil as was evidenced by the election of the sadistic trump....half of any population is gonna lean towards evil unfortunately...most Russians are good people
so now you mad at russian government? at the government that help people to stay safe in LDNR, the government that trying to resist east NATO extension? you must be brainwashed
Are you angry at your neighbours when USA wreaks havoc on middle eastern countries based on lies (weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist)?
You should meet Americans
Comes from an American... Sweet home Alabama, Lord I'm comin' home to you... Double standards and even beyond I want to witness a day that Americans will get any sanctions what they have been doing for centuries... :D
It’s going to take many years for Russia to bounce back from this, both reputation and financially. Respect to you sir for being so honest and offering your insight on the situation.
It's actually the west that will take years to recover its economy and its reputation. You do realize only 40 countries support the sanctions dont you? 240 countries do not.

@Charles White typo, wanted to type 140. but that should have been 153 + 2. I stand corrected.
Its going to take a hell of a lot longer for Ukraine to "bounce" back from their "situation", so I don't worry about the Russians and their present state of affairs. They made their

You have put into words how many people especially here in Britain feel about the nightmare happening in Ukraine. We feel so helpless about the situation. Our parents had to live here when the Nazis (the real ones) were blitzing our beloved country whilst most of our men were fighting overseas, many of them never returned. Ukraine didn't ask to have their lives shattered, innocent people being thrown into mass graves, women being raped and life savings stolen & their houses destroyed along with precious memories. Thank you for showing us your reality and let's hope the Russian people will eventually get the courage to call the Kremlin to account, very soon. 🙏🏻🇺🇦🇬🇧

@@davidjames2145 It´s only a question about WW2 which I don´t understand.
So someone with a wolfsangel, Hitler salute, swastika flag, torch, fairy tale, to pay homage to a Nazi perpetrator, don't you think that's Nazis? And also with the statement that Jews or Russians are not people. For you, these are not Nazis? Since 2014, every European and world reputable media has reported about the nationalist and corrupt side of Ukraine, this is attached via public broadcasting in Germany, BBC, aljazeera, time, Spiegel, Amnesty International etc....
Coincidentally, these have reported 2,014 to 2,022 over the nationalist Ukraine, and now all at once in three months we hear nothing and suddenly it is said that it all Russian propaganda. How strange. Should I send you the full link? The stupid is UA-cam would then delete the comment.
"survival Russia" is a family living on a farm in Siberia, the wife is a primary school teacher and Lars is a UA-cam vlogger. Despite the people in the area being obviously poor, they have an affluence that does not seem credible. Best wishes to you from Australia and I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! It's comforting to see a russian with a good heart and a perfectly adequate understanding of the state of the world. I think you show some signs of a clinical depression, and if your state gets worse you might not have the energy to make videos anymore. So please go to your physician for a checkup in time.
I don't wish anyone to be clinically depressed, but I would actually like to see all russians react more like you - with humbleness and grief instead of resentment and denial. Your agony is obviously painful, but it's also a sign of real personal strength. The soul-searching attitude you display is actually the only way out for the russian people and the russian nation. Without a complete surrender and a profound atonement, Russia will remain a poor and despised outcast; not for years or decades, but for generations. And that would be a tragedy for everyone.
Right now, you can at least take some pride in being a role model for your fellow-contrymen.
Fairdinkum Russia has nothing to repent for however the US, NATO. UK, Australia, New Zealand and other allies sins have reached outer darkness , there is no forgiveness for their global atrocities, leaving a trail of death and destruction all over the globe.
The hell are you talking about, America killed more people in their “special operations” all over the world then Moscow has people in it!
Thank-you for sharing the circumstances in Russia and, of course your feelings. Many people in the West understand how you feel and want peace. You are not responsible for this outrage. Keep expressing yourself through your videos. This will help.
Thank you for sharing! To see what is happening to the average citizen without all the media nonsense... it's so good that you can share with the world your daily life. I live in the U.S... South Dakota specifically, an already remote location by our standards. So if your videos are reaching me... you are doing something right. We need to see what good people like you are going through. PLEASE keep sharing as long as you possibly can.

@@Ilona_N May be true, but certainly ironic. America has the greatest number of obese people than any nation.
This is so much different from some of the other Russian UA-camrs I've watched. Yes, they are feeling down, understandably, but they are pretty optimistic and show how well Russians and the Businesses are doing. They have also shown some other businesses that ARE closed down but also show other opportunities, that even if they are sanctioned, still operate under different terms/ rules. I guess it's like one UA-camr said. She is focusing on what is good and not on what is bad...
Well I’m happy to see that I’m happy to see the sanctions are working while my people in my country are dying and being raped sorry I have family in Russia too and it’s a devastation to everyone
Poor Russians!
But as long they're able to get drunk on vodka on a daily basis and they're allowed to abuse their kids, they should be fine...

It’s a horrible tragedy. Words can’t even begin to explain or understand. America is praying and we stand with Ukraine
Because of one crazy man.
As much as I hate russia, I think those sanctions doesn't help the cause .. 99% of civilians have nothing to do with those "special operations" and pootin is completely uneffected by those sanctions, he has his own sources for everything .. so what's the point? What all those people have to do, is come together and knock pootin off the throne.
I’m so very sorry.
As an American with a Grandmother who came here from Russia to give her children more freedom and opportunity, it's heartbreaking to see all that is happening, and as always it's everyday Russians who will pay the price for things they have zero say in...💔 I pray for an end to this..
You will have higher inflation, less gas, oil and other raw materials...Everyday Westerners will also pay some price...
@@markomarkovic487 that’s true Marko, but prices here in the West have gone up maybe 10% in a year, looking at Konstantin’s video it looks like prices in Russia have gone up 200% in a few months. Even if that’s exaggerated it’s still many times more than in the West. Against a lower average income that’s got to hurt much more.
I agree- it's not the everyday Russians that should suffer, but those who instigate the conflicts. The same as in North Korea, the Middle East, etc. Hoping this ends soon.
This has been one of the best reports I’ve seen coming from inside Russia, together with reports from the 1420 channel. Why is it so good in my eyes? You show honest and actual footage of what’s going on and how this ‘special operation’ is hurting the civilians. And there is not much you or anyone else can do about it, just to show what’s going on. And believe me, what you show is perfectly understandable. Besides the reason that this ‘special operation’ got to be started, it is so useless and sad for all involved. I do feel for all of the people on both sides, and hope that the powers that be come to their senses and stop whatever they had in mind. There are only losers, starting with the people who didn’t want this in the first place. Please keep uploading these videos, so we can witness what this ‘event’ is doing to peaceful and sensible people.

To be honest, that looks like a lot of the shopping malls around where I live in the US. So much shopping is now moved online as the prices and convenience of home delivery has taken hold and is the new normal after the pandemic lockdowns.
I was going to say the same thing. This looks better than most malls in America nowadays.
Some one who thinks!
Agree with the statement about the mall. And the grocery shelves are fuller than the ones in my area of the US are on a Sunday afternoon as well.
There are many videos with shopping malls completely empty in the US. Try to look for the Californian based real estate agent, Jeremiah Babe channel. He have many videos with malls in California witch is completely deserted and empty.
The only reason they are open is because of their government cooking the books to perpetuate the myth that all is ok. As soon as people can't feed their families this facade will fail.
Great video! Wow, I was surprised at how empty the parking lot was at that large mall. Also at how many of the big-name stores that had closed- Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, Uni-Glo, and many others. And the price increases on staple food items at the supermarket- I was really surprised by that. One example was the bag of sugar- it costs 2X now than just 4 or 5 months ago. And many, many other food items cost much more than they did at the beginning of 2022, just 6 months ago. But things will probably get even worse before they get better, **IF** the situation over there gets better. I really, really hope that we aren't living through the very beginning of WW3 right now. Stay safe over there, and keep up the excellent videos! The videos give people living outside of Russia a glimpse of what daily life is like there. But, sad to say, I'm sure things are much, much worse in Ukraine, especially in the eastern and southeastern part of the country. The Russian military forces need to leave Ukraine, but of course that's not going to happen anytime soon. But I guess we can at least pray for peace in Ukraine. Keep up with your videos. They are good.
The true and heartfelt message at the end of this video is important for us to see. Even living in New Zealand, the safest country in the world, i feel the fear of an uncertain future for my children. These videos connect all the honest and kind hearted people of the world together.

Good to see someone in russia actually showing whats really happening. Appreciate it. I will subscribe just because of this.
Good job sir.
You are one of the good guys. Well traveled and have an understanding of the world and most important a conscience and a good heart. What disturbs me the most is watching and listening to the hatred your fellow country men and women have for Ukraine people. I think envy and their own poverty drive these feeling.
It's all messed up now :(
Primarily people are buying into the “Nazi” theme that is being perpetuated in your country. Or in other words, if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance,baffle them with bullshit. Todays people only know about Nazism from history. It’s done, it’s over. Never be another Nazi in this world . Stay strong. Good video by the way.
I agree these guys have beautiful hearts and I know that there are Russian people that feel the same they are so sad and devastated horrified and feel empowered to do anything. I think it’s important for all of us across the world to do anything in our power to help the Russians that are actively resisting. I think discussions like these bring us closer to brainstorming how we can support those who are dissenters.
@@INSIDERUSSIA I have been making numerous comments my heart goes out to you I know that you are not many other Russians are completely heartbroken horrified dismayed and feel a sense of a deep guilt for what is happening. I completely appreciate what you were doing
Thank you for sharing and acknowledging what is happening in Russia and Ukraine. I hope this bloodshed stops sooner than later as well. Take care of yourself.
This feeling of helplessness you have is shared by thinking people all over the world. We are all horrified and in anguish about what is happening in Ukraine. It is important to remember that there is very little we can do to stop it. What we can do, and what should bring us comfort, is to give to causes which help in areas of conflict around the world. I live in Canada and I am well aware that my situation is vastly different from yours. I feel your pain with regard to the uncertainty you are going through with your job. I also think the combined stresses of everything are affecting you emotionally. You need to talk to a professional if possible; and maintain strong bonds and communication with your family and friends. Remember, the common people the world over want peace and friendship with each other; we are all striving for the same thing, a peaceful life. Keep doing these videos and don't lose hope. Know that you are doing everything you can within your power to help and like the rest of us, we can only do that and wait for the storm to pass. Pray if you believe, seek inner peace in nature if that is your path. Stay strong; if you are not strong, you cannot help others. I am thinking of you.
American meddling in other countries democracy has caused all of it.
This is so good for the Russian people that their money is not going to the western oligarchs who use slaves to manufacture all that tat. Every one of those stores are western corporations. They need to close permanently. It would be good for Canada too if they stop buying the rubbish that is poisoning the world.
We’ll said, many of us everyday americans only wish for peace & prosperity for the people of the world. I personally don’t go in for politics and blaming. The powerful ones that control the decisions have to live with their choices, while many of us regular people are just members of the world’s population. When I see the destruction and death, I only see a waste, no matter who’s fault it is, it’s just a waste. Take care everyone, everywhere. Hopefully sometime soon we can go back to living in peace?
Karen Burrows. God bless you
KONSTANTIN, the last couple of years have been really hard...pandemic, political unrest (in the U.S.), climate change, inflation, and now Ukraine. I know so many people who are exhausted from all the stress. And I can only imagine how you must be feeling with the economy in Russia starting to feel the sanctions.
I tell my friends, and my family, that there is not much you can do about the news in the world that is depressing. But you *can* do something in your own circle of people (friends, family, neighbours) by bringing positive energy wherever you go and with whomever you meet. A smile, a cheerful greeting, whistling songs, all sorts of things like that. Try not to focus on the world so much, but instead focus on your loved ones, and people you meet.
Spread love, and it will reduce the fear around you. Hang in there my big Russian teddy bear! You are a good man and the world needs more of you.

Thank you, my friend! Glad to hear this
Not being a politician, honesty dictates: when a “brother” invades a home, the parents of a little girl hide her in a garbage can. Here she can hear her father being tortured and killed, her mother attacked and killed, and her brother forcibly taken to an undisclosed location in Russian territory.
Governments begin and end wars. But wars are fought by individuals - person to person. And many victims will never call Russia “brother.” 2/3 of all Ukrainian children are refugees; i.e. homeless. Russians make very poor brothers.
The worst part is seeing America politicans try to be friendly to Russia, only for Russian politicians to completely shut them down every single second. Its insanity sometimes.
Letting Americans awkwardly march on the red square for V day celebrations was honestly supposed to be a landmark in human history. Russia and America are basically next door neighbhors. Its such a shame sometimes.
Maladyetz for your honesty. I lived and worked in Russia from 1990-96. The changes have been amazing. I stay in touch with students and friends from many of the CIS republics.
I sense your collective empathy and the pain of conscience, and hope you find a way to preserve your health through all of this. From life experience, I feel it is a fine balance between recognizing suffering, being aware, and ....simultaneously cultivating a maybe paradoxical inner peace, simply in order to stay healthy. I am not sure how to articulate it. Feeling responsible for one's nation...must be a rare choice.
Empathy has always been a path to walk cautiously.

Likely WE here in the west know far more about what Russia is doing in Ukraine than the Russian people do.
Really ? Have you been watching for 8 years ? The Ukrainians have been killing Donbass people for 8 years . 16 thousand civilians killed . You seem not very interested in that . Or it was not shown on American tv .
Just remember that not all is as seems when portrayed by western MSM…it is so so easy for them to portray a particular narrative with images and words.
Russian people know A LOT more about Ukraine than people in the West. It is taking you "past several months" to get wonder. And people in Russia have been seeing the crimes, murders of russians in Ukraine, growing fascism in the neighboring country for 8 YEARS!
