I used occasionally to do business trips to Russia 2002-2010. It was clear that in case of illness/ emergency, a private clinic was the only safe option. Best part of those trips was the return flight from St.Petersburg to Helsinki :)

Ivan you are definitely spot on about what you’re sharing. I think it’s just bots or trolls trying to put a downer on what’s the reality! Moscow and St Petersburg are showcases for Russia. The foreigners seldom get to go and see and experience real Russian living for the lion’s share of the population. You couldn’t pay me to go there!!

A college professor of mine was working for the US State Department as a translator in Moscow in the seventies when he got a horrible ear ache and went for help. They thought he was a Russian and sent him away with curses. Later, he could stand it no longer and tried again. This time they figured out that he was American and took excellent care of him- fixed him right up... and apologized for thinking he was a Russian.
I had similar experience in Simferopol Crimea. I wanted to get to another town via train. I didnt even get near to the "lady" selling tickets. She screamed at me from 15m away.

Really good plain speaking...We have a National Health Service too. It has its problems especially since money has been stripped from it over the last 14 years, but our Dr's are paid well and the nurses care and it basically sometimes works!

Around 30 years ago I read a story about a westerner living in Russia during their economic boom period. He was riding his motorcycle home one night and was in an accident that broke his leg. An ambulance came for him. The ambulance driver was so drunk he could barely drive. He and the attendant tried to pick up this guy with a broken leg, dropped him and caused further injury. They took him to a hospital like Ivan described where he was treated by a Russian doctor. After he left the hospital he had to fly to Europe to repair the damage caused by the ambulance driver, attendant and the doctor at the hospital. No thank you!
Wow. What a coincidence. The same thing happened to my brother in Calif. But, he wasn't a rich guy who could fly to another country, and also pay the medical.

@DeniseDDS - And that is precisely why it currently takes a long time for a Russian citizen, to be accepted as a Resident Alien by the DHS = they are coming from a "corrupt country" so why would they also "not be corrupt" is the general feeling. The State Department also feels that way somewhat. This is especially the case since 18 months ago shortly after Russia attacked Ukraine; however, as difficult as it is with a POTUS represented by the Democratic Party, it will be almost impossible if Donald J. Trump; who as a White Nationalist is "anti-immigrant" (whether an Immigrant lands legally or illegally, by the way) becomes President again. Thankfully, all the algorithims point to the Democratic Party POTUS candidates winning on November 5 as of today.

Brit here who lives in London. Believe me, I am grateful I live in a free country and very happy I was born in Glasgow and not Rostov. I do appreciate what we have over here. I can't imagine how depressing it must be to be a modern Russian who's seeing the country slide back into dark, repressive times. Particularly because for a while, it looked as if Russia might be taking a genuinely free turn.
@babylonmustfall You still don't get it and apparently don't have a clue what's happened in Russia at all. Hint: there was no political freedom ever and any freedom of expression or protest disappeared around 2010. Nothing to do with a physical war. Only the latest, more brutal opression of all freedoms possible are turned to eleven since 2022. Foundation for this shizofascist regime was put in decades ago and usesva mix of Soviet KGB, cheka rat and more modern time-refined means of governance and violent control. You didn't see nothing close to that ex.g. in America or other democratic countries (even if the wars they take part in are not on their soil) while they're actively fight wars. On freedoms, a hybrid WW3 between Russia and its true terrorist allies are in full swing by now, there is no major difference in wartime circumstances between any NATO member or Russia. However you see the differences in measures taken during this war (which Kremlin confirms by many statements), which is incomparable between Russia and its proxy enemies. Only comparable between the former and its closest dictatorship allies.
Hey Ivan, that Soviet style apartment brought back memories for me. I worked in Moscow in the early 1990s and one of the apartments I stayed in was just like that, in one of the Khrushchev blocks. In those days, the district heating system could not cope with the demands from the whole of the city in winter time, so on a rota system districts were shut off for a week or two at a time. I remember it was -20C outside and there was only a couple of electric convector heaters with which to get some warmth in the place. Obviously, I expect it isn't as primitive as that now though.
You never know what the winter will bring to Russia with UKR getting busy wrecking electric power stations and oil depots and refineries going kaboom!😂
Treatment is free but you still have to feed yourself, provide own toiletries, even your own thermometer. We had to do all this in Russia.The whole of the hospital was mouldy,most of us decided to leave the hospital to grab something to eat and when we returned our uncle was dead... strange cos he was ok when we left him
same in Sanya in China, but the termometer was provided, but that was it ! you dont even get a pot to piss in, the beds are 80 years old and yes, mold all over the place,
Sounds so familar the story of Evalina :( I spent also a night at the beginning of this year into hospital emergency, cause there was no free beds. (yes, in germany such things happen too. But we got good doctors! I was treated very good.) You did right to take her in a private hospital to help her. I hope she get well and no problems any more!
Sounds like the country I live in (Canada) when it comes to "free" healthcare. I spent 20 hours in emergency with a burst appendix. Could not get any pain medication and had to lie in a hallway because pain was to severe to stand or sit. After finally seeing a doctor they were quite happy to give me morphine and a bed however. We do have pretty hospitals.

Good delivery style. I agree with you. I've travelled extensively on business and not too many places that are as good as the USA to live! My parents brought us to USA, I was 11. Best thing they could have ever done for their kids.....
I was in a hospital in 2001 in the intensive care. That meant a room for myself with a device above the door to purify the air. The device was nearly invisible because of dust and dirt. There was no toilet but in another room alongside mine stood a bucket which was emptied every morning outside into a hole. After 3 days i got dismissed with a bill of fls. 90,00,so E 45,00.There were no given meals whatsoever. A friend had to provide my food.
Yes Ivan…I was in Russia long time ago ,and their clinic sucks,however,being a tourist ,their art and history were quite rich and interesting .The metro were lined with sculpture which I have never seen anywhere .
This is why I'm so glad to live in Canada. My buddy had his cataracts removed, knees replaced, new teeth, pacemaker and finally a heart transplant. All payed by the Ontario government. We now have free dental plans as well. 🇨🇦
@@antonioangeloviii4748 You obviously don't understand how publicly funded health care works. Americans are under the assumption that people are paying huge taxes for this. In reality it's not much more than Americans pay in taxes, plus we don't have to pay high insurance payments every month or pay any co-pays (whatever the heck that is). Americans are the only developed country that puts their citizens in debt when they are most vulnerable. America is capable of having this health care, it's whether or not you want to continue being a slave to the greedy insurance companies.
Another woman who was pregnant and went to the free hospital because she needed to be in hospital for a day and night, it was crazy, she had to take her own dishes, bedding, medication and it looked like something from the 2nd world war in my country. The worst equipment I’ve ever seen, no electric beds, for sure, no tvs on your bed , no tray tables that go over the beds, It was a nightmare, fortunately she got to go to the better hospital in a bigger town and a specialist pregnancy and birthing hospital to actually have her baby but her husband wasn’t allowed in unless he paid a bunch of money. I’m glad you took Evelina to the better hospital, it would have been terrible if they sterilized her without permission. Scary!
Keep doing what you are doing, Ivan. You are a natural at this. I and others actually comment to you personally by using your name. That is great as people are relating to you like someone they know. Do not let trolls bother you but you did a great job in debunking what they said. I know you are Russian as i started following you long before you left Russia. How is the other guy who went along with you and Evelina before you left? I wondered if he was mute as he never said a word, lol.
So nice, when people, that never have been to real russia tell a russian, that they know russia better than a russian person. I have been living in a real russian obshage (student hostel) in a russiam city (that excludes petersburg and moscow as they are different from the rest). Also I have visited familys that lived in that typical soviet appartments. 3 weeks in Novosibirsk, 2 weeks Moscow. 2 days Kazan.
Ivan new subscriber here, I think you are more American than Russian because you speak your mind and you are smart and funny as hell. I hope you get to go live wherever you want and are happy in your new living place. I would love to have a beer with you because I think you would be the life of the party. If you need any help in the future ask your friends here. We are all rich Americans 😂❤
You have a way of telling the truth without exaggeration, that hits harder than high-profile mainstream channels. Keep on being yourself, sanctioned Ivan. 👍
I always enjoy your videos, Ivan, and you always make me smile. I think a little humour is good knowing the sad state of affairs in your home country. It must make you sad and angry, I can’t imagine. ❤️🇨🇦
Back in the day, I visited Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg. Being a broke student at the time, I managed to fund my trip by selling a couple of inexpensive digital watches on the black market and made a 10-fold profit. It was an unforgettable experience! However, upon departure, I found myself with an excess of Russian currency (back then, Russian customs had strict rules against leaving with more money than you entered with). So, spotting an elderly woman cleaning the streets nearby, I decided to give her all my rubles. To my astonishment, she burst into tears! It dawned on me that what I had given her was equivalent to three months' wages for her. It was nice to leave and leave all that madness behind.
Yo, this dude is telling the truth. I grew up behind Iron Curtain. If you didn’t pay you were sick, if you lay in a hospital cockroaches ran over you, if you sit on a toilet you get 🤮crabs, I’ve lost baby due to Chernobyl, what a chaos. If I didn’t pay under the table my son wouldn’t walk properly. It is all true, that’s how I grew up in Czechoslovakia. I also understand, very hard to believe it until you live it. ✌️ well said about the freedom of speech, I am very lucky I’ve left and am thankful for living good life. Simple life but I can breath.
I love your channel Ivan. You and Evalina are great people. Sending positive thoughts your way and I hope you both make it to the US. Keep doing what your doing. Lots of love from the USA 🇺🇲😘
I can’t believe the stupidity and naïveté of some people. But they know more than YOU. Gotta be kidding. Ivan, I believe you. I know people I have common sense and you know what you’re talking about.
As a man living in the state that was under soviet ocupation (Czechoslovakia/Czech republic) I have no problem to believe Ivan that Russia improved since soviet times but only little bit (chut-chut ;-) ).
Ivan, I think you said you are 27 years old. You are so smart! Maybe genius! Keep keeping us educated. I’m 72 and I’m so impressed with your unique skills and personality ❤
Ivan to think i never thought you could do a channel like this as opposed to dull videos on a day in my life (again) cars (again) what i have eaten (again).
I remember when I was in Russia many years ago and in September the heating system went on. Temperatures outside were above 20, so totally nuts. Also, hot water was not available during a certain period during the day, so we used a big pan we filled up with water and cook that on the stove and used that to bath ourselves.
Great content thank you - expecting lots of the dissent are from bots or paid posters. Keep it coming- also bravo to you for saving your lady from that terrible fate.
russia is the greatest country on earth they make so much... vodka. and there is beautiful roads.. in 3 whole cities.. and its nice and warm.. 6 weeks a year.
In the Atlanta Georgia metro area for twice the money an apartment complex had a swimming pool, tennis courts, a club house and a bar. Many were on the Chattahoochee River where you go down the river in a rubber raft, intertube, canoe, or a kayak. In the summer time beer keg parties are common.🍻
Don’t worry about the pro-Russian commentators in the West. You are, of course, right and I think many of them are not thinking logically. Your videos are great. Don’t forget too much about Thailand, too.
I have Russian relatives and during Covid one of them got pretty bad Covid, so naturally they took her to a hospital. But the chief doctor didn't want to take her to the hospital as if she died then the doctor would look bad! My relatives had to find another hospital to take her to and still grease things up a bit...
Ivan. I am a fan of your channel. I am a veteran of the US Army. I was a participant of the gulf war in 92. I understand your decision to leave Russia to avoid participation in an Ilegal war. I like your videos at the Lada dealer in Moscow. I also liked your video at the classic car museum in Moscow and how you were excited to see some American Classics. I could picture you being in America and owning a car dealership. I also thought it was cool see your love of Cadallacs. NOt too many of those in Moscow these days I bet. You stated that you would like to come to America. Your english is very good and as a language major I know how hard it is to learn a foriegn language. You should look into coming to Florida USA. I live in a city called Vero Beach. We have many golf resorts. We have nice warm weather. You should be used to it by now after your stay in Thialand. You should apply for a seasonal visa worker at a florida golf resort. In my city we have many high end private golf clubs. They always look for temp workers for the season. if you act now you could be here for November. Everyone comes here for our winters.They are spectacular. If you can get a work visa you could come earn a lot of money in 6 months and do youtube in Florida. If you get a work visa maybee you could extend at season's end. We have many lovely beaches and great weather. Check out the Moorings private golf club or the Redsticks golf club. Im sure you could be a server or a bartender they make good money. That is what I do. I commend you for your wisdom and not being sucked into going to war for the Mad Man at the helm. The situation in Ukreane is Insane. Hopefully one day I can go see Russia and meet all the good people there, I am sure there are many. I made friends with a few young Russian girls who were studying in the states. They were very intelligent and i was impressed. I can remember when the Soviet Union fell and the vibe between America and Russia was cool. We even sent a bunch of famous Americans to go there and do a concert with Ozzy, Billy Joel, and even Motley Crue. Hopefully one day we can all live in Peace again. My email is billmueller 2024@hotmail.com. my cell is 772-925-9042. Text me if you want to reach out. God bless you lets pray for peace and a world where greed and ambition does not create death , destruction and Chaos. I am also a surfer and I would like for you to do a video about surfing in Thailand. Are you near there? good luck buddy.
@@ryankenyon5010 Most hourly jobs are weekly. Some are bi-weekly, because that is a loophole to avoid paying overtime in some states. I am paid bi-monthly, but am salaried.
We also had free healthcare in Denmark and I heard sometimes we don’t have enough space in the rooms for the hospital beds for the patients in rooms and then they place some of the patients at the hallway with a bed.

Ivan you are very smart to leave your Country which is heading straight back to The SOVIET UNION. Thank God you're outta There I really enjoy watching you
I am not surprised it cost $300+ to rent a decent apartment near Moscow since the real estate prices have boomed in Russia and income to C.OL. ratio deteriated. The national numbers of real estate sales has plumetted throughout Russia over the last three years. Dutchies were the big purchase about a year ago.
They start now at $500 for a shabby old small apartment, the numbers you are saying is people that have had that apartment for a number of years. Moscow is expensive.
Hello from the States where our healthcare system is an embarassing failure but for other reasons so I had to fact check you and I went onto google maps Street View in some random city on the outskirts of Moscow and sure enough, unkempt grass, ambulance that looked pretty rough, it had some rust, not as bad as the one you showed but certainly not one where the ride costs $900-1,500 USD. You weren't kidding.

Particularly because for a while, it looked as if Russia might be taking a genuinely free turn.
It’s especially frustrating because Russia has so much potential.
When countries are in serious military situations it seems freedoms become limited, doesn't matter what country you live in that will happen.
@babylonmustfall
You still don't get it and apparently don't have a clue what's happened in Russia at all. Hint: there was no political freedom ever and any freedom of expression or protest disappeared around 2010. Nothing to do with a physical war. Only the latest, more brutal opression of all freedoms possible are turned to eleven since 2022. Foundation for this shizofascist regime was put in decades ago and usesva mix of Soviet KGB, cheka rat and more modern time-refined means of governance and violent control. You didn't see nothing close to that ex.g. in America or other democratic countries (even if the wars they take part in are not on their soil) while they're actively fight wars. On freedoms, a hybrid WW3 between Russia and its true terrorist allies are in full swing by now, there is no major difference in wartime circumstances between any NATO member or Russia. However you see the differences in measures taken during this war (which Kremlin confirms by many statements), which is incomparable between Russia and its proxy enemies. Only comparable between the former and its closest dictatorship allies.
Hey Ivan, that Soviet style apartment brought back memories for me. I worked in Moscow in the early 1990s and one of the apartments I stayed in was just like that, in one of the Khrushchev blocks. In those days, the district heating system could not cope with the demands from the whole of the city in winter time, so on a rota system districts were shut off for a week or two at a time. I remember it was -20C outside and there was only a couple of electric convector heaters with which to get some warmth in the place. Obviously, I expect it isn't as primitive as that now though.
You never know what the winter will bring to Russia with UKR getting busy wrecking electric power stations and oil depots and refineries going kaboom!😂
Ivan, The light looks better without the new light. love your streams. Best wishes to You and Evelina
Treatment is free but you still have to feed yourself, provide own toiletries, even your own thermometer. We had to do all this in Russia.The whole of the hospital was mouldy,most of us decided to leave the hospital to grab something to eat and when we returned our uncle was dead... strange cos he was ok when we left him
OMG! 😢
same in Sanya in China, but the termometer was provided, but that was it ! you dont even get a pot to piss in, the beds are 80 years old and yes, mold all over the place,
Thanks for another informative video about Russian reality.
Great video !
Sounds so familar the story of Evalina :( I spent also a night at the beginning of this year into hospital emergency, cause there was no free beds. (yes, in germany such things happen too. But we got good doctors! I was treated very good.) You did right to take her in a private hospital to help her. I hope she get well and no problems any more!
I like watching your videos Ivan, keep them coming
Sounds like the country I live in (Canada) when it comes to "free" healthcare. I spent 20 hours in emergency with a burst appendix. Could not get any pain medication and had to lie in a hallway because pain was to severe to stand or sit.
After finally seeing a doctor they were quite happy to give me morphine and a bed however.
We do have pretty hospitals.
Do Ivan and his girlfriend a favor by liking and commenting on this to increase the algorithm. Ivan deserves the 100k plaque

Good delivery style. I agree with you. I've travelled extensively on business and not too many places that are as good as the USA to live! My parents brought us to USA, I was 11. Best thing they could have ever done for their kids.....
I was in a hospital in 2001 in the intensive care. That meant a room for myself with a device above the door to purify the air. The device was nearly invisible because of dust and dirt. There was no toilet but in another room alongside mine stood a bucket which was emptied every morning outside into a hole. After 3 days i got dismissed with a bill of fls. 90,00,so E 45,00.There were no given meals whatsoever. A friend had to provide my food.
Yes Ivan…I was in Russia long time ago ,and their clinic sucks,however,being a tourist ,their art and history were quite rich and interesting .The metro were lined with sculpture which I have never seen anywhere .
There is a story why the metro was built to look like a luxury castle while the people went hungry.
Thanks for another interesting video! ❤
U have a great sense of humor brother... keep it up 🤘😄
Btw, i was Mr Z BEFORE the letter was hijacked by the evil empire. Coincidence only✌️😆
This is why I'm so glad to live in Canada. My buddy had his cataracts removed, knees replaced, new teeth, pacemaker and finally a heart transplant. All payed by the Ontario government. We now have free dental plans as well. 🇨🇦
Not paid for by the government, because the government has no money of its own. It’s paid for by the citizens who are obligated to pay taxes.
who paid for his heart transplant
. some poor volunteer in China. I'm assuming.
@@antonioangeloviii4748 You obviously don't understand how publicly funded health care works. Americans are under the assumption that people are paying huge taxes for this. In reality it's not much more than Americans pay in taxes, plus we don't have to pay high insurance payments every month or pay any co-pays (whatever the heck that is). Americans are the only developed country that puts their citizens in debt when they are most vulnerable. America is capable of having this health care, it's whether or not you want to continue being a slave to the greedy insurance companies.
Free dental plans in Canada are for basic services and are for low income people only.
You don't know how lucky you are,!
Another woman who was pregnant and went to the free hospital because she needed to be in hospital for a day and night, it was crazy, she had to take her own dishes, bedding, medication and it looked like something from the 2nd world war in my country. The worst equipment I’ve ever seen, no electric beds, for sure, no tvs on your bed , no tray tables that go over the beds, It was a nightmare, fortunately she got to go to the better hospital in a bigger town and a specialist pregnancy and birthing hospital to actually have her baby but her husband wasn’t allowed in unless he paid a bunch of money.
I’m glad you took Evelina to the better hospital, it would have been terrible if they sterilized her without permission. Scary!
Keep doing what you are doing, Ivan. You are a natural at this. I and others actually comment to you personally by using your name. That is great as people are relating to you like someone they know.
Do not let trolls bother you but you did a great job in debunking what they said. I know you are Russian as i started following you long before you left Russia. How is the other guy who went along with you and Evelina before you left? I wondered if he was mute as he never said a word, lol.
So nice, when people, that never have been to real russia tell a russian, that they know russia better than a russian person.
I have been living in a real russian obshage (student hostel) in a russiam city (that excludes petersburg and moscow as they are different from the rest). Also I have visited familys that lived in that typical soviet appartments. 3 weeks in Novosibirsk, 2 weeks Moscow. 2 days Kazan.
Please keep doing the regular videos too.
I love your videos about the place you live.
Ivan new subscriber here, I think you are more American than Russian because you speak your mind and you are smart and funny as hell. I hope you get to go live wherever you want and are happy in your new living place. I would love to have a beer with you because I think you would be the life of the party. If you need any help in the future ask your friends here. We are all rich Americans 😂❤
Sure you are .
Ivan lived in Ireland with an Irish family,he's definitely picked up the Irish blarney,not American at all!😅
thanks for update!
You have a way of telling the truth without exaggeration, that hits harder than
high-profile mainstream channels. Keep on being yourself, sanctioned Ivan. 👍
Thx for the video!
Thank you for your thoughts on this subject Ivan. Hello to Evalina 💐
Good video Ivan.Found your experience with the Hospital troubling.Glad Evelina is ok.Enjoy your channel.
In the Soviet era, house calls were common, because clinic space was so limited.
Thanks for the humor with honesty.
I always enjoy your videos, Ivan, and you always make me smile. I think a little humour is good knowing the sad state of affairs in your home country. It must make you sad and angry, I can’t imagine. ❤️🇨🇦
Back in the day, I visited Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg. Being a broke student at the time, I managed to fund my trip by selling a couple of inexpensive digital watches on the black market and made a 10-fold profit. It was an unforgettable experience! However, upon departure, I found myself with an excess of Russian currency (back then, Russian customs had strict rules against leaving with more money than you entered with). So, spotting an elderly woman cleaning the streets nearby, I decided to give her all my rubles. To my astonishment, she burst into tears! It dawned on me that what I had given her was equivalent to three months' wages for her. It was nice to leave and leave all that madness behind.
I hope you and Evelina have all the kids she wants, once you get to the States.
Yo, this dude is telling the truth.
I grew up behind Iron Curtain.
If you didn’t pay you were sick, if you lay in a hospital cockroaches ran over you, if you sit on a toilet you get 🤮crabs, I’ve lost baby due to Chernobyl, what a chaos.
If I didn’t pay under the table my son wouldn’t walk properly.
It is all true, that’s how I grew up in Czechoslovakia.
I also understand, very hard to believe it until you live it.
✌️ well said about the freedom of speech, I am very lucky I’ve left and am thankful for living good life. Simple life but I can breath.
As Ivan says, very, very nice! 💗
I love your channel Ivan. You and Evalina are great people. Sending positive thoughts your way and I hope you both make it to the US. Keep doing what your doing. Lots of love from the USA 🇺🇲😘
I can’t believe the stupidity and naïveté of some people. But they know more than YOU. Gotta be kidding.
Ivan, I believe you. I know people I have common sense and you know what you’re talking about.
Glory to Ukraine from Romania.
Героям слава🔱
As a man living in the state that was under soviet ocupation (Czechoslovakia/Czech republic) I have no problem to believe Ivan that Russia improved since soviet times but only little bit (chut-chut ;-) ).
What are you and Evelina doing for health care in Thailand? Local health insurance? What is the cost? What about when you were in Turkey?
Ivan, I think you said you are 27 years old. You are so smart! Maybe genius! Keep keeping us educated. I’m 72 and I’m so impressed with your unique skills and personality ❤
Ivan to think i never thought you could do a channel like this as opposed to dull videos on a day in my life (again) cars (again) what i have eaten (again).
Thank you Ivan. Enjoy your work.
Thank you for sharing reality with people who don't research anything and live in lotus land. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I had a Russian doctor for awhile. He had very poor bedside manners. He lost his license to practice in Canada after awhile.
I remember when I was in Russia many years ago and in September the heating system went on. Temperatures outside were above 20, so totally nuts. Also, hot water was not available during a certain period during the day, so we used a big pan we filled up with water and cook that on the stove and used that to bath ourselves.
Hot water was not available at certain times of the day.
When was this? In what part of Russia?
@@BoxerDogs over 20 years ago. Can't remember the name of the city exactly but niet of Moscow.
@@JDSchuitemaker Maybe things have gotten better since then?

Great content thank you - expecting lots of the dissent are from bots or paid posters. Keep it coming- also bravo to you for saving your lady from that terrible fate.
russia is the greatest country on earth they make so much... vodka.
and there is beautiful roads.. in 3 whole cities..
and its nice and warm.. 6 weeks a year.
🤣😂🤣😂
Russian Vodka is like drinking battery acid its terrible
Russian country side is very varied and also beautiful,it's just a shame about the people running it!
In the Atlanta Georgia metro area for twice the money an apartment complex had a swimming pool, tennis courts, a club house and a bar. Many were on the Chattahoochee River where you go down the river in a rubber raft, intertube, canoe, or a kayak. In the summer time beer keg parties are common.🍻
Don’t worry about the pro-Russian commentators in the West. You are, of course, right and I think many of them are not thinking logically. Your videos are great. Don’t forget too much about Thailand, too.
American here! I just moved to Sudzha almost a month ago! It’s brilliant all the people are so nice.
You do you Ivan🇸🇪👍🏻If people want to move to Papi Putler it’s much empty space…..
I have Russian relatives and during Covid one of them got pretty bad Covid, so naturally they took her to a hospital. But the chief doctor didn't want to take her to the hospital as if she died then the doctor would look bad! My relatives had to find another hospital to take her to and still grease things up a bit...
Ivan. I am a fan of your channel. I am a veteran of the US Army. I was a participant of the gulf war in 92. I understand your decision to leave Russia to avoid participation in an Ilegal war. I like your videos at the Lada dealer in Moscow. I also liked your video at the classic car museum in Moscow and how you were excited to see some American Classics. I could picture you being in America and owning a car dealership. I also thought it was cool see your love of Cadallacs. NOt too many of those in Moscow these days I bet. You stated that you would like to come to America. Your english is very good and as a language major I know how hard it is to learn a foriegn language. You should look into coming to
Florida USA. I live in a city called Vero Beach. We have many golf resorts. We have nice warm weather. You should be used to it by now after your stay in Thialand. You should apply for a seasonal visa worker at a florida golf resort. In my city we have many high end private golf clubs. They always look for temp workers for the season. if you act now you could be here for November. Everyone comes here for our winters.They are spectacular. If you can get a work visa you could come earn a lot of money in 6 months and do youtube in Florida. If you get a work visa maybee you could extend at season's end. We have many lovely beaches and great weather. Check out the Moorings private golf club or the Redsticks golf club. Im sure you could be a server or a bartender they make good money. That is what I do. I commend you for your wisdom and not being sucked into going to war for the Mad Man at the helm. The situation in Ukreane is Insane. Hopefully one day I can go see Russia and meet all the good people there, I am sure there are many. I made friends with a few young Russian girls who were studying in the states. They were very intelligent and i was impressed. I can remember when the Soviet Union fell and the vibe between America and Russia was cool. We even sent a bunch of famous Americans to go there and do a concert with Ozzy, Billy Joel, and even Motley Crue. Hopefully one day we can all live in Peace again. My email is billmueller 2024@hotmail.com. my cell is 772-925-9042. Text me if you want to reach out. God bless you lets pray for peace and a world where greed and ambition does not create death , destruction and Chaos. I am also a surfer and I would like for you to do a video about surfing in Thailand. Are you near there? good luck buddy.
I’m from mass USA and I like it here
It's a good idea to include "per month" since in many places, like the US, we often get paid WEEKLY.
Where? Every job I've ever had has paid every two weeks. I've lived in five states and I'm 52. Never gotten paid by the week.
@@ryankenyon5010 there is a few , but yes bi weekly is the norm
You are correct. I haven't been paid in so long, I forgot!
@@ryankenyon5010 Most hourly jobs are weekly. Some are bi-weekly, because that is a loophole to avoid paying overtime in some states. I am paid bi-monthly, but am salaried.
@@JohnBerthoty You and me both, my friend! 😂
Thank you for your insight and wisdom. Keep up the good work and effort ...
Added bonus, go to the hospital and get a free disease.
Laughed like crazy at that one. Good vid
Lovely video Ivan.
We also had free healthcare in Denmark and I heard sometimes we don’t have enough space in the rooms for the hospital beds for the patients in rooms and then they place some of the patients at the hallway with a bed.
Thanks for telling truth about Russia. I been watching your channel since 2022
Look forward to seeing you and your family make it to the States. I for one am Definitely not foolishness enough to think it's better there. No Thank You!!!

you are so right: we don't realise enough how free we are in the western world. Keep commenting on the reality of living in Russia!
Thanks for an update!
I could not agree with you more. Thanks for the info.
Same hospital problem in Romania.
Ivan you are very smart to leave your Country which is heading straight back to The SOVIET UNION. Thank God you're outta There I really enjoy watching you
I was in a hospital in Siberia in the winter of 2000
I am not surprised it cost $300+ to rent a decent apartment near Moscow since the real estate prices have boomed in Russia and income to C.OL. ratio deteriated. The national numbers of real estate sales has plumetted throughout Russia over the last three years. Dutchies were the big purchase about a year ago.
They start now at $500 for a shabby old small apartment, the numbers you are saying is people that have had that apartment for a number of years. Moscow is expensive.
I like you and you are right freedom is everything and being able to say what you think about your apartment or whatever is important
Hello from the States where our healthcare system is an embarassing failure but for other reasons so I had to fact check you and I went onto google maps Street View in some random city on the outskirts of Moscow and sure enough, unkempt grass, ambulance that looked pretty rough, it had some rust, not as bad as the one you showed but certainly not one where the ride costs $900-1,500 USD. You weren't kidding.
Helloy man , i see ur western education , google make shots 10-15 years ago
