Can rural russians feel the sanctions? Harsh reality: food, houses, relations

- Russian people often say: Moscow is not Russia... And this is true for other big russian citites as well.
Majority of russians live in countryside - small towns, villages... And life there is so far from life in cities .
DO people in rural Russia can really feel the heaviness of ongoing sanctions? Or they simply have nothing to lose?...
My family is from the country. It seems to me that people who live in the country may be seen as poor but more often than not when times get tough they are the ones that are able to make it through the hard times.
Worldwide...its always the country women that are resourceful
This is why during war and a pandemic, people flee into the countryside.
agreed!
How can we send you money?
Fun fact - most of our common comfort home-foods in the US date back to the Great Depression. I'm talking Baked Beans, Chipped Beef on Toast, Cornbread, Potato soup... Dense bean, rice, and cheese dishes often come from that era.
This video stopped me in my tracks. What incredibly beautiful, resilient souls making a good go in terrible circumstances. Thankyou for sharing this, the food looks delicious. Sending love and good thoughts from Australia 🇦🇺🤍
Women are so alike in all countries.In a perfect world,more women would be leaders.Tamara,can smile,like most of us.Lovely honest video.Greetings from Ireland💚
Thank you for sharing these lovely and strong women’s stories. Love from the USA.❤
Enjoyed your video very much, thanks!
Love Russia , love Russians . Lovely people ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
Yes people in the U.S are watching 😉
Hello from USA!
I want to them send lots of sugar for that black current jam!
These women are very much like the past generation of women in my family. Our meals as children were not fancy. Lots of vegetables, eggs, bread, pies, homemade preserves, and a freshly killed chicken on Sundays. Everything we ate was home grown or homemade, like the pickles, preserves, pies and cakes. God Bless you ladies, long life and happiness to you all.
Not fancy but the best food there is. Nothing beats a homecooked simple meal-no fancy restaurant can come close with their Michelin stars :)
You grew up in country . 1950 OR earlier ?
Country people always make it. They're resilient. Simplicity is the key
Agree
I would not say simple.. its the opposite. City people are simple, like when electric goes down they don't know what to do. Can't even start a fire without a lighter or matches Etc
@@FIN86fi Many people come from the countryside to the town. There is no way to do it in the town.
@@deniseproxima2601 But sure if you have 2 left hands, then yes it's not possible.
@@FIN86fi Most is forbidden. You can't fish in concrete. All other must be bought. Most open fire: forbidden.
Reminds me of my grandmas life in the Arctic part of Sweden.
Greetings from Sweden - the food looks Delicious btw!
Thank you for sharing this video. These women are very nice and Easter is so important for them, a great moment to be with their families.
That was an awesome video! Thank you to all those women and Tamara for sharing their lives and homes with us. The food looked amazing. Thank you from the U.S.

Amazing how the ladies share vegetables to cook, we all suffer in this world because of the decisions of those in power.
This has to be one of the most beautiful videos I have seen, for many reasons. I have lived some of my childhood in much of the same way, only in America. A beautiful and strong people, these women have been through much of the Hell life provides and still have the strength to smile and provide for each other. I hope others can see the beauty in the spirit of these people. What a wonderful, honest story you have provided. Thank you so much.
Please tell Tamara not only have people from the US seen her but I'm from the UK and I'm pretty sure she will be seen all over the world. What a wonderful village - I wish my neighbours were like this. When I moved in here I went and introduced myself to my neighbours and welcomed them round for coffee etc and they're just not interested. Makes me sad tbh
whatever negative marketing russians are getting these days most are amazing people . all who have visited them say they are great people . So happy to see this nice video . After the conflict i will visit russia .
Cold blooded people - Anglo Saxons
Naomi Sherred, I moved here almost 3 years ago. My next door neighbors speak the same language I do in addition to English. I thought we would be friends and maybe share cooking tips. No. They seem to have plenty of friends and don't want to know anybody else. Oh well, disappointed but don't care, their loss.
😍
Did anyone else notice how healthy the 'simple' food is? My granny in southeast Missouri USA used to go into the woods an 'cut greens'...forage for edible plants. She was poor but always had amazing food and you never went hungry.
YES ,MY GRANDMA DID TOO, WE WOULD FIND ALL THE EDIBLE HERBS AND MAKE SPAGHETTI , THEY KNEW HOW TO SURVIVE
No, i didn't notice. Judging by the size of the ladies I wouldn't say it's healthy.
@@ciprianpopa1503 loads of sugar. russian babushkas love their sweets, and they add tons of sugar in their tea as well. Apart from the abusive use of sugar, their diet is healthy, with loads of herbs, veggies, fish and dairy.
There is a difference between large size people in Russia and the US.
In Russia they can be overweight and still pretty fit.
You won't find people who look like huge balloons full of water, which is very common in the US.
@@ekaterinalokshina2043 I agree. Country women have muscle. Not the sculpted gym kind but the manual labor kind. That same manual labor means they rarely get fat like pampered city dwellers. Carrying a few extra kilos also helps when food gets short.
Reminds me %100 of rural Mexico visiting my grandmother this is exactly the same.
Russian food looks tasty and plentiful and its wonderful how the neighbours all work together and unite.....thank you for this fantastic video,showing Russian people and their culture
Around 26,000 Russian troops have been killed since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has said in its latest update.
Over the past day, Russia suffered the greatest losses in the Avdiivka direction, north of the Ukrainian city of Donetsk.
It claims Russia has also lost approximately:
• 1,170 tanks
• 2,808 armoured combat vehicles
• 519 artillery systems
• 185 multiple launch rocket systems
• 87 anti-aircraft warfare systems
• 199 aircraft
• 158 helicopters
• 1,980 vehicles and fuel tankers
• 12 boats/cutters
• 380 drones
• 41 units of special equipment and 94 cruise missiles
Yes RURAL life is self reliant, things are common and way of life is beautiful. People are turning towards country life after last year's covid19 epidemic.
The fish is a turn off tbh but the vegetables look great
Jesus Christ. This is such propoganda bullshit. These people are being sent to die in Ukraine. 30,000 dead soldiers so far. They don't even have indoor plumbing, most houses are nothing like this. It's disgraceful how the rural communities live like subhumans while those in Moscow are protected by the elite
He visto que Rusia es una sociedad muy arraigada al concepto de familia muy unida. Me encanta su cultura, quisiera ir a visitar Rusia en algún momento.
So satisfying 😌 to watch. I miss my childhood 😢 I almost live like that when I was a kid in Philippines 🇵🇭 I can relate. Everything was fresh food from the backyard. I didn't appreciate it then but now being in america I miss the old times especially the foods.
I love how they all work together to live.
Thank you for this video. Tamara is so sweet. Country life in Russia is so common with country life in Cyprus. I remember as a child when we had weddings in the village and people that time were more poor, all people brings a basket of food and things needed for the wedding to the house of groom and bride. All people were helping to prepare the food for all the guests. Sometimes guests were more that 2000. Also I remember that the milk of the goats was given every day to one house by the neighbors and the women were helping to make the traditional Cypriot cheese called halloumi. We have also icons in the wall for Jesus, photos from family members etc. Even fish soup recipe is the same. But the life of Tamara is more difficult. Big Hugs and may God bless you !
How nice, thanks for sharing😊
Watching from the UK ... Stay strong as women across the world understand and know the only thing we can do right now is keep caring for our families and hope that things change. x
Great to see you Tamara! Rural folks the world over are the salt of the earth. May the creator of heaven and earth bless you and your family with Peace and Prosperity. From a military veteran in the USA✌🤝
Not only US people see you, I live in Switzerland 🇨🇭 and I’m really impressed about the life of these women. They’re really strong!
I hope, there will be peace soon and that the politicians stop being insane!
They are insane, in a greedy narcissistic sociopathic way. Including the globalists.
✌🏾
Most of Russian population support Russian agression towards Ukraine
And I'm Italian! Please say hello to these ladies from us!
I am a 75 year old American Grandpa. I grew up very poor, having an outhouse and an outside pump, where we had to pump all of our water by hand. Filled the wash tubs to be brought inside for bathing, cooking and laundry. I would take any one of these women to live with me, as today I have a wonderful country home with all of the modern conveniences. The food looked delicious.
I grew up in the mountains of Southern West Virginia on a farm ..our closets neighbors were a mile away ..we had thousands of acres of woods surrounding the farm. We carried water from a spring about 2 city blocks away ( when you Cary water you don’t wast it ) we had outside toilet and cooked on wood stove and heated with coal. We actually dug our own coal from a mine my grandpa had dug into the mountain side. Our only modern conveniences was electric. It was a hard but great life being self sufficient.
You remind me of my Father in law who passed on in his nineties leaving his wife of many years and now is 99 yrs.. He kept my mother in law happy with gathering off the ocean of seafood and her gardening.
I am twenty years younger than you and I lived the same way when I was younger. As much as those were meaningful times loaded with wonderful memories, I am very grateful for any modern conveniences. However, with things Going to pot, I am glad I have skills.
How sweet you are.thanks for nice thoughts.
Doesn't this food look fabulous! Delicious & healthy.
The sanctions are meant to hurt the government not the people. It's good to see these folks making the best of the situation.
Cold toilet = outhouse in the US. We (at my house and many poor rural Americans) had an indoor version of that for 6 years, last year we got indoor plumbing. We heat with wood too. I hate the mess but it works really well and I never worry about the supply running out.
Your birch are beautiful, ours only have little buds right now.
Because you live in Alaska
@@tamarakolomyichenko1248 it's not just Alaska. The rural experience is pretty universal. We just have more cold on average than other states.
@@tamarakolomyichenko1248 unless you meant the birch...that is absolutely because I'm in this part of Alaska
@@grannykiminalaska thank you for comment and God Bless
The sanctions are meant to hurt the government not the people¸. But it is vice-versa. It hits ordinary people first.
I’m in the US. I hope very very soon there is peace again and prices return to normal for all.
Thank you for making this video.
Also my cat said hello to the pretty fluffy white cat 😘
It's sad that their family life seems so fragmented. Alcoholism, wars, divorce. The daughter who survived the war, but couldn't talk about what she'd seen. Another daughter died in a bike accident, and her boyfriend went out and killed himself. Wow. Hard life, and then the poverty. It's good they have community in this place. We pray for the Russian people. I know their life is hard now. I'm not certain it's going to get better any time soon. Thank you for this video.
For people living remotely in Russian province, life is same as it was. They do not consume as many goods and services as on the west. They grow vegetables and make food for winter. Lots is socialisation with neighbours in the village. This is now it has always been and they are not aware of any other life
Russia and its people may God bless you. The Russian countryside, the most beautiful on this earth. Simplicity of living is what we should all strive for.
The “Russian people”, as you refer to them, support the war on Ukraine and do not deserve our admiration.
Hard life. We were happy to get out during Communist era. And we had it better then the average family.
strong Russian people 🤗🤗🤗
Beautifully narrated vlog
Cheers from 🇨🇦 🍁 Canada
Thank you ❤
Im in Canada too! 🇨🇦 very interesting!!
Thank you for the video. I spent quite a few years living in the GDR (East Germany) and I traveled to the USSR on several occasions, from the Baltic States to Crimea and even Central Asia. Villages are the life and soul of Russia; Moscow is its own beast. I myself live alone in the empty western plains of Nebraska in a small village that resembles many of the small villages across Russia (wheat fields, corn, cattle and harvesting combines slowing down traffic! My life is not much different: limited budget, growing my own food when I can, helping my older neighbors with their canning, baking and even their cattle. I love it. I may be poor by the standards and live below the poverty line, but I feel blessed and I own everything I have. It s a simpler, more satisfying life. The irony is we can feed ourselves if things get bad, which is more than 90% of the country can say.
It's not so easy. My grandparents knew this live, but the environment chanced with time. Today, on the same place, it would be impossible.
Thank you for sharing little sister. Love to all the beautiful women of that village. Salute to you ALL from America. I hope this reaches you and those you love in great health and happiness❤️🙏
Thankyou for sharing this, here in the UK, the media is negative of Russia but obsessed with the Oligarchs. We know nothing of its people and your sufferings. Anyone of these ladies, could be my mother, aunt cousin or sister. Much love to you all. And the food!!! Oh my my mouth was watering . Sending you love support and my support to you all. Feeling humbled right now, here in the UK
Thank you so much!!
Soon you'll have less food in the UK and will need those recipes, courtesy of Brexit and Johnson and his cronies. I'm British and never fail to wonder just how apathetic UK people are, and how they just accept 💩without bothering to do anything about it... Stupid!!
We are all the same. We are all humans in this world together. This is why war is so senseless. ❤️
Muy cierto la propaganda mal intencionada de los medios nos está vendiendo que la sociedad Rusa es la peor del mundo.Pero viendo vídeos como esto noto a una gente muy alegre, generosa y optimista. La esencia de la sociedad está en la familia. Me alegra encontrar videos como este en el contexto actual que todo lo tienen restringido.
Such sweet people. Thank you for showing their way of life. The food looks amazing! I pray things get easier for them. Hello from Silicon Valley, California, US. Thank you for this great video.

Privet Ladies. Thank you for sharing your house and cooking with the rest of the world. Lots of hugs and kisses from me in Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺
I live in the USA, but my childhood life was much like this. I lived in a rural area, so the toilet was outside (an outhouse). The water pump was also outside, and it was a hand-operated type.
These women remind me very much of my mother who passed away in late 2022. I cared for her all the way to her last breath. It gave my life a noble purpose. I wish I could go to this village and try to help those women, too. There is no way to replace my loss, but there is honor in caring for all the other old mothers and grandmothers. Please send them my best wishes if you can. ♥️
you have a golden heart god bless you
That Mom can save the world from government- she's awesome!
I live in the US and can confirm yes, we see you! Everything looks super tasty, and I love watching people make good home cooked meals. The ingredients all look so fresh too. It's time to start the garden where I live, and we just planted potatoes in containers.
Be nice if there Ukrainian ppl still has homes and gardens to enjoy too!
Cause these babushkas did it. 🙄
Can you Americans whose consent has done been manufactured please keep you mouths shut and stop embarrassing the rest of us? If these rural Russians deserve to be treated like this because of Ukraine, how do you live with yourself knowing your government has done far, FAR worse? Here’s an incomplete list:
Vietnam
Iraq
Afghanistan
Chile (ever heard of a little man named Pinochet)
Argentina (dirty wars)
Iran-Contra affair
Iran itself (maybe if we hadn’t put a puppet in, they wouldn’t have felt the need to have a revolution!)
Libya
Yemen
Or, I’m sorry, do none of those many MANY countries I mentioned not matter to you cause they ain’t European?
Gtfo. Go watch something else if you don’t like it. It would be nice if Iraqi ppl still has homes and gardens to enjoy, too! Be nice if Afghani people still had homes and gardens to enjoy, too!
Wow.... I wanna try that bread with the eggs and green onions inside!! Any of her breads look so delicious. Also I just wanna say that there are good and bad people everywhere. So there's no reason for anyone to hate on the Russian people themselves. Just like people don't like what U.S.A. does also! Politics are not the people's fault. Plus no matter what the elected officials say they're gonna do, or blah, blah, blah. But most generally nothing ever happens the way the politicians says it will go. Once they get in power they do whatever they want!! So yeah! I just wish everyone the best. And hoping for peace for all of us! Thanks for the video, and I'll keep praying for the people of Ukraine and Russia both!! I know that the majority of people do not wish for war!!
Years ago when I was at university in Wales, the government was promoting nuclear power and how it was so cheap they would be almost giving it away. They encouraged people to get rid of their coal and wood burning fires. By the time I lived there it was rare to rent a house with solid fuel and the electric heating was so expensive we could never afford to turn it on. Fortunately it doesn’t get as extremely cold in the UK as it does in Russia. It’s best to be as self sufficient as possible, as fortunes change it is the resilient who thrive. Strangely enough I was just talking to a friend about mackerel fishing before watching this as I have just bought a new fishing reel👍 you can’t beat it fresh out of the sea and eaten on the beach.
Just like my family in Brazil,all polish including my mother,I grew up eating polish food and at home my mom use to make it,god bless and watch over these beautyful people

Thank you for sharing this video with us. Tamara seems like a good mother who cares about her children and fellow villagers. Her daughter Natasha also seems like a nice lady. It would be nice to see them in one of Dr. Lucy’s massage videos in the future. I hope you are all doing well, and I’ll make sure to keep on praying for you guys❤️
Excellent commentary and editing!👌 Video quality keeps improving. I love this type of content. Thanks for sharing!

Learning how to manage food production during different types of economic times is a major skill.
Yes, prepping is important. And thinking in advance
Hello from a viewer in Connecticut USA! I wish I could have some of that currant juice- yum! How smart these women are! All these beautiful dishes that come from food they grow with their own hands. ❤️Women Power 💪
Why no gas? Economics. Why lay a gas line 10 miles through the wilderness for 5 or 10 households? It costs money to maintain that gas line too. How is that practical? Many places are like that and not just Russia. My own hometown in Montana has a problem. When I grew up there the town had about 4000 people. Now there is less than 800. The dam and power generation plant there is over 100 years old and in poor shape. The cost to do what is necessary to keep it running is staggering expensive. Far more than the town and county can afford. What is to be done? Economics people, economics.
So it's not only russian problem... so sad people suffering everywhere and good places like yours turns into ruins.
@@patrushevs_stories obviously sanctions are affecting Russia, it's the point of them. However, EVERY Country is currently suffering from high costs of living, food prices going up. We're all having to live frugally and, in UK, cooking oil and other things are being rationed. Greedy farmers threaten to stop keeping chickens for selling eggs to supermarkets, because they want higher payment, and are not getting it. People can grow their own vegetables and fruit, I do. And I'm getting chickens. If everyone did it, and shared or sold crops between them the farmers would soon stop whining!!
@@jacqueline8559 The point of the sanctions IS to make Russians suffer, true that is. Apparently it's not having the desired outcome though while at the same time other innocents are getting the backwash. Your Britain is hurting from what I am hearing. I think the people in the cities are going to be hit hardest. The folk in the countryside less so. I wish you and yours the best. We're on a runaway train and the morons driving it have no clue what they're doing up there.
@@patrushevs_stories Societies change. Russia has seen huge changes as has mine. Never forget that Russia and Russians are great, noble and an asset to humanity. Many in the west know why this war is happening and who is responsible. Russia has to do this or the mad dogs of the west will do it to Russia.
They could have a gas program like propane tanks for monthly exchange. There are ways if they really wanted it.
Tamara, thank you for opening your home and friends to us! I can see that you are an amazing cook and Baker and that comes from years of practice. You are a beautiful person! I'm from Chicago and Houston in the United States! God bless you!
I don’t know about rural Russians feeling the sanctions but going to the market here in America 🇺🇸 you would think Biden put the sanctions on us and not 🇷🇺 Russia
Can’t wait for the day to come when all demons from Washington and all top monsters will hit lake of 🔥

Beautiful women. In the past I would have been moved by their simple lives and lack of men to care for them. Today my thoughts are for those in Ukraine.

Why do you delete comments that relieve the devastating reality of mass rapes by Russian army in Ukraine?
We don't delete any comments except abusing or offensive. But due to new policy youtube can moderate comments and delete them 🙄
@@patrushevs_stories Interesting. Maybe the reality is then too abusing or offensive. I just posted news publish by YLE (National Broadcasting Company of Finland) about the devastating reality and horrors going on in Ukraine. About the behaviour and practices of russian solders err. war criminals. Pure evil.
I began to watch these Russian English-translated videos (I mean, this and other UA-cam channels) since the sad events of the Ukrainian war. It’s surprising how similar country people are everywhere, regardless of borders. It’s also obvious how well meaning and honest people from the country happens to be, especially women who have to double their strength to uphold their homes when men can’t or aren’t present.
If it were up to these people there would be no "special military operations" and only well wishes among brothers and sisters from other nations.
How soldiers from these peaceful regions learn to be so cruel and detached from other people’s human suffering is beyond me. But then I understand that they are mistreated and even virtually tortured by their own commanders, making them the monsters they never dreamed to be.
Add to that that they have to face as enemies common people who see them as the destroyers of every village, the killers of every man, women, children there, and there is little left of the country soldiers rural and more innocent previous selves. They are hated or dreaded on the invaded lands and as such, bonds are irremediably broken.
War would be the biggest monster of them all, if there was a competition.
I see this videos and I really don’t get it… Such a rich country and people live in backwards ways… Why not provide sewer/gas/electricity/paved roads?
Greeting from New Jersey USA!! They looks super nice and am glad I came across your video. It is not their fault what is going on, just like americans are not responsible for their idiot leaders. Glad they already have the skill and knowledge to get through the hard times. I'm not so sure about the people here, if real hard times came to USA I think many would not know how to bake their own bread let alone know how to survive!!
Our leader in the USA is not in the least bit comparable to putin who is killing innocent peaceful civilians who are in no way Nazis. Our leader is a good man with a warm heart who are helping those people and even letting them into the USA as they have no homes and no food to eat with relatives as they are dead. I’m sorry, that’s just my feelings.
@@Betts711 yea the members of the American government are angels 😆 🤣
@@crochetbitznknits2066 Join in with Putin. He will fit in well with you. I bake my own bread and know very much how to survive. Why don’t you leave. Oh wait, just noticed you say your from USA, but do not talk as such in your first comment, so I see, a troll! I block all trolls!
@@Betts711 lol your gettin awfully twisted up for no reason. I never said I liked putin so that makes no sense. I can see you love Biden but I didn't even mention him in my comment, i said leaders which includes past as well. So relax.

Its great that people all over the world recognise that politics and normal people 2 different things.All nations are great and wonderful, we all hope for peace.We have great and beautiful country and I personally dream about times when my mortherland will be recognised like peaceful country and people from US will come to see our country,maybe to stay here and live with all orther nations.
So happy to see your videos. Hope you continue to vlog more often. The Greeks love mackerel. Sorry, for what the Greek government is doing right now.
Beautiful to see women supporting each other. Women are strong and survivors. I believe that the world would be a better place if it would be run by women. The food looks delicious, greetings to TAMARA from Switzerland 🇨🇭. Thank you for this amazing video which helps us understand the regular Russians and to see the similarities among cultures. 🙏🏼🍀💕☮️

Deepest condolences on the loss of your daughter 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💐💐💐
Thank you!❤
Настоящее люди!!! Honest living, even in very difficult circumstances. These women are strong and have learned to survive one circumstance after another. My condolences to the woman who is still suffering from the war trauma. What a terrible thing. Ordinary people just want to get on with life, which by itself is already an uphill battle. May the politicians see sense and stop playing with peoples lives.
I just discovered your channel and was very pleasantly surprised. Thank you for sharing with us interesting people and their life stories. Greetings from Serbia. 💕
My brothers house is very similar, in rural Alaska. He hauls water in, uses an outhouse, wood for heat. He shoots a moose every year for meat, and catches a large number of salmon in season. Veggies have to be store bought, the growing season is too short.

Thank you for such a beautiful video.
I wish I could be there to celebrate with you all. I also wish that I could somehow ease your troubles.

Tamara, thank you for letting us into your home. I’m in Western Australia.
How many people understand WHY there are sanctions? I didn't see a television there, so they likely don't know (or don't want to know) about the war in Ukraine. It would be wonderful if these people could see how rural Ukrainians are living during the war. They are not that different.
They used to have a good life like this in Ukraine. Stop Putin's war.
tell them yes... we saw them in America.....wish we could all sit and eat together....there would be no war
Excellent documentary about village life in Russia!
I wish that I was able to come and live for one year with the women in this village. Not only to share their camaraderie and delicious food. Also to share in a hard winter and a spring where we could plant vegetables together. I think about billionaires and then I think about them not having indoor plumbing.
I am a woman from Canada and I admire these lovely, strong women and their friendship, food and laughter.
Really interesting vlog. And Really lovely people in the vlog. Sadly the young people will never grow with such traditions. Hello from London, England 🇬🇧
Многое чему я не верю. Да в преодоленых краях жизнь трудна но кстати такое везде и не только в России. Санкции или не санкции, жизнь обычных людей которые просто хотят жить, никак не меняется так как исходные проблемы то остаются имею ввиду зарплаты, пенсии, коммуналки и т.п
Беда в том что в странах бывшего союза и в западных странах всё жизненно необходимое тесно связан с курсом валюты. Вот это и осложняет жизнь и бытьё человека.
В Азии в отличии от этого ничего не зависит от курса валют. Большинство граждан во всей своей жизни даже иностранных купюр не видели. Инфляция конечно усугубает жизнь но жизнь продолжается и никаких санкции или запретов не мешают жить человеку.
Санкции= это шантаж под бредом что в санкциях сдохнет общества.
Такого не будет и это уже видно. Сам этот ролик прекрасно показывает что жизнь не меняется, еда есть, друзья помогающие друг другу есть и жизнь есть!! Вот этого изменить санкциям не удастся
great video -- very interesting to see this. sad that the country's leaders treat its citizens so badly, but they are a resilient people, especially in rural areas.
Believe me having money and living in the city won’t make live easier or happier many people die committing suiced and are rich.
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) - Dozens of Ukrainians were feared dead Sunday after a Russian bomb flattened a school sheltering about 90 people in its basement, while Ukrainian fighters held out at the battered Mariupol steel plant as Moscow's forces rushed to seize it ahead of Russia's Victory Day holiday.
And all they are wondering is if USA will see their video. It’s always USA fault, but lots of countries added sanctions to stop putin and his evil doings. Brainwashed that it’s all USA fault and Ukrainians are Nazis! Crazy!
OMG. Pirozhki with eggs and scallion. I would give up averything in my life to get some......delicious!
I wish their life was easier but I do admire the uncomplicated and sharing aspects to it. We're so disconnected these days in the UK and I must admit it was lovely to see the women sharing their food and time together.
Hello from Canada Montréal.....it look like you have Nice heart....Best luck.from a man asking question about War...God blesse you all Mamouska And Natacha live well..
And their president is eating like a king
I forgot to mention when I watched this video 2 months ago, something important that might help the women there. Since they don't have flushing toilets, they can use wood shavings to cover up their wastes in the toilet. It will not smell bad anymore and it helps to break it down. It will be a composting toilet then and so life changing for them. I hope that helps.
Beautiful people
Your talents are endless ... this looks absolutely delicious!! 💗Love the way you commentate yourself love of baking and family. Xxxxx
1:53. Yes! I'm in America and see you. =) Hello! I hope someone shows you the comments and messages here.
Aside from the toilet; I don't see this as a rough life quite honestly; mackerel, cheap cakes and bread, homegrown vegetables, your own house, wood for heating and when it is summer and spring, green countryside around you...... I would say they are living much better and more comfortable than city dwellers
watching from Philippines..thanks for uploading the video..seeing this makes me feel sad why our world never stop war 😕
I am an American, but some of my roots go back to Russia. You are no different then we are. Matter of fact many Americans would love to be able to cook as a village does in your country. I love the fact I can grow my own foods and have chickens, ducks, my dogs and cats. Lol. Food is such a blessing when we put so much love into it. So hold your heads high! Many prayers headed your way. I know we are all in the same situation financially wise. When will society wake up and be one? When will America's get back to a village coming together as one? Soon I hope, because as a society in this big world, we are all failing each other. Much love and prayers.
Reminds me of my wife's babushka's house. but quite a change from life in moscow but has its advantages, and yes, alcohol is quite a problem in rural areas
These beautiful people in there wonderful homes,its like stepping back in time to basic honest living, a realness ,a warm colourful home) that's not a Westernised White,cream,artificial,a coldness like those in the west" a Russian home you can eat rest play sleep
A good life is not only about material abundance and these people are not poor. They just live a simple, balanced and free life, in harmony with nature and in communion with people around them and God. Of course they have their problems, but this is what life is about - oscillating between good and bad, fighting to overcome obstacles and become a better person. As others said, during hard times, these people will be the survivors.
I can’t help but notice how overweight the Russian women are. In the US it seems to be the same problem. Yet their food seems to be nutritious unlike most American food.
Their homes are very dated and old fashioned, reminds me of something from over 60 years ago from my Grandparents homes, but then if many of these women are on their own it’s hardly surprising if they don’t have much. It’s really nice they get together in a community spirit though, and the fact they are in the countryside is a blessing too. The fact that so many Russian men seem to drink so heavily that it affects the basis of their families is very depressing.
We don't have hate towards each other ....the people don't need Dictators and wars. Get rid of tyrannical Governments
