      Slavs maybe Slavs, but us Germans can't think of any side dish apart from potatoes either. And soup is very important , too. Chicken-noodle-soup is considered medicine for every possible ailment. And we also have hundreds of stews which we also call soup. We eat lots of cabbage, red beet and herring as well. So not such a big difference.

    Incredibly healthy food! I've been watching a lot of these Russian vlogs and two things: The entire county seems amazingly clean and free of any kind of trash. That and the roads and streets are flawless! Everywhere. They're also huge with lane after lane of access. I'm sick of propaganda fed to Americans by Americans about the rest of the world. Russia looks like a proud and beautiful country with an amazing history.

You cannot read in such magazines about Gulag, famine in Ukraine, soviet secret police NKVD, millions of people killed during WWII and purges in 1930s etc. etc. Believe me - I have spent my whole childhood in a communist country dependent from USSR.

I later saw two cats at the Hermitage and was told that many cats lived there and had good care. I bought beautiful cat cups, cat dolls, cat post cards and there were paintings of cats.
      Friends in Canada who later received the post-card- paintings of the cats remarked on their beauty.

    Great video. I am fortunate, as an American, to be married to a Russian (originally from near Kazan). The experience has been amazing, and we are shortly moving to Russia for a few years to spend time with her side of the family. People ask me all the time what Russian food is like, and I tell them that they have probably been eating the same things in America without realizing it. And yes, soup is in the soul of the country (we eat soup at least 3-4 days a week). Apartments in Russia are much better constructed than in America (you don't hear your neighbor use his toilet at 2 o'clock in the morning!). And Marina is correct about the metro train stations...they are complete works of art. I drove my wife crazy wanting to spend time photographing the various train stations in Moscow. I could spend a week just traveling the metro for photographic opportunities. Thanks for the video!

      Funny you mention that. CNN just did a documentary on life in Russia. They talked about the quality of life, quality education and the low crime rates in Russia. Interesting enough they also mentioned that the minimum wage in Russia exceeds the American min wage when you factor in cost of living. CNN, when they showed the military in the streets, was in Crimea.

    This is not how the average Russian lives. Like most Northern countries. there is not the wide choice of vegetables/ fruit as Southern countries, so tends to be monotonous. Outside of Moscow. the standard of living drops dramatically. Russia is very cultural and the people are educated. I think this video is very misleading. But, I would return for another visit. Nice country!!

    • @PaulV.

      That video hasnt been filmed in Moscow. And there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in Russian stores. In today world everything is easily imported from other countries not to mention local products. Russia is large and Southern parts of Russia have basically the same climate as France or Spain.

      I agree with Paul V. - I came to my home country Russia after 4 years not living here and I saw so many changes. One of them - lots of imported fruits and vegetables. I agree that traditional selection does not offer a large variety. Generally, we are conservative and we like to eat what we grow in our gardens. ) But nowadays it has been changing. Russia has been becoming similar to the U.S. in many aspects that I can clearly see (for instance, eating out becomes so common, it was not that popular in the past).

And if you add starch - it will turn out "kissel". And if you mix the jam in water, you will get jam in the water.

    I really love your video. Especially that cute kitty cat. I am an American who has a huge love for Russia. I practically have no choice to love Russia as much as I do. Seeing that I am part Russian myself. All thanks to my late father's side of the family. Who is as far as I still know is of Russian, Polish, and Austrian ancestry. Where my Mother's side is of German, English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry. And I have always considered myself more Russian and Polish than the other 5 countries I am a part of. I so totally wish I could go to Russia. Even though I can only speak a little bit of Russian. But the 2 places I would so love to see the most is St. Basil's Cathedral and The Amber Room. But unfortunately for me I can only see and hear things about Russia either through the tv and the internet. Because of my slight fear of flying and the lack of money. Going to Russia is out of the question for me. But I am glad that my late aunt got to see Russia sometime back in the 70s. And after seeing this video I now know where my love for potatoes comes from. Since I am always eating something that is potato related. Preferably the seasoned potato wedges that I love to make.
