      This is a very Western way of looking at it, and speaing as a Slavic Eastern European myself, would say it's highly unlikely (though who knows, maybe there are altruistic ex police chiefs out in the Siberian wilderness still). It's far more likely they plied him with currency and lots of vodka.

      You are exactly right. But, they would say something balanced that would mess with Smith's infantile geopolitical drama. Smith knows he has to be investigating something profoundly "dangerous", or he is just a tourist in Russia. Remember, this guy is making entertainment. He starts with a preconceived story, and goes out to tell it. It's not journalism.

      @@catatoblob8598 That Russia is not a communist state any more, and that focusing upon Russia as an ideological enemy of the west inverts the doctrine of the cold war absolutely, to the very significant benefit of global marxism, and to the detriment of the western culture of christian liberty.
      If Russians are wicked when they promote godless totalitarianism, and they are yet more wicked when they don't, it follows that they must be inherently wicked, presumably due to their ethnicity.
      That is abhorrent, on moral terms, and catastrophic, in strategic terms, according to established western values. Obviously it suits sino-marxists perfectly well.

    Since there is so much speculation about the half-assed blurring, I gotta say it caught my eye too. I really hope the guy did not get into any trouble for appearing on this footage. If so it lies on the journalists conscience, whatever might have taken place later on.
    On the other hand, the guy didnt say much, as far as we know, but thats beside the point, as someone already mentioned.
    The blurring could, and should have been done in a proper way, which really is something some Vice &Co should pay more attention to in the future. I find most of these programs both as entertaining, and informative otherwise, but this particular problem has to be addressed for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, this is not some isolated incident I,ve noticed, either.
    You dont have to be some professional foreignaffairs- guru to understand the importance of this issue, and the possible repercussions involved for All of those who appear on camera, no matter where it goes.

      I think I see what you mean. Yes in a way it always lies on the perpetrators consience, that is true.
      But you do realize totalitarian regimes have a draconian chain of command where there is no shortage of all sorts of "volunteers".
      The issue here is that this poor workers life is on the line If someone Enables the regimes henchmen to identify this man.
      Who in this case happens to be in a very precarious situation from the get-go since his family is probably also in danger, if he is compromised and caught.
      The journalist Always has a moral obligation towards his sources. He&Co has to do absolutely Everything in his power to protect his sources.
      How would you have handled this particular problem if I may ask ?

    I can’t help but talk about the drunkard from their couple day train ride, he was very unsettling the whole time. Drunk people are very aggressive and annoying. It seems like they were trying to take any small thing as disrespectful just so they can fight you, and that’s a fact. I’m sure that drunkard from the train was craving a fight, to show his dominance and distain for other’s that aren’t Russian. In all honesty, confrontation is like a pastime to them, drinking and fighting go hand in hand. You know that drunkard completely spoiled the Vice crew’s couple day train ride, I can’t blame them though. I *LOVE* this short documentary type content, it almost felt like they were gaining more and more companions to help them through their trip after every episode, just like a television show, video game, movie or anime. 😂 *NOW* this is very informative and entertaining.
