- Life in Ukraine is unrecognisable since Russia invaded in February 2022. But how has life in Russia changed since the invasion?
The BBC's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg, who lives in Moscow, reports on the shift he has seen in the country from day-to-day life to how Russia portrays its history to its people.

I live in Moscow. The correspondent is absolutely right when talking about the connections which the Russian government is making between the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and the war Ukraine. However, describing the current situation in Moscow as 'surreal' is exaggerated. Yes, it's expensive to repair a foreign car or to buy a MacBook in nowadays Russia. Yes, there are advertisements for the war. But other aspects of life and the general mood of Russians hasn't changed. They still go to work, go clubbing and do other hobbies. The reporter even uses same depressive music in the background to make it look even more sad where, in fact, it's not that bad. Wish to see less propaganda from BBC as foreigners may have incorrect understanding of the events happening in Moscow.
Agreed. I also live here, and it's clearly a last-ditch propaganda effort. The general mood of the people is "mildly inconvenienced" at best. I only watched because I knew it would be this bad. Lol. Meanwhile, Russian state-funded media is still totally censored in the West while this grandpa here complains so can eat the good pelmeni tonight)
Will never understand Russians. Lack of empathy and complete political apathy will get back at you
🤢🤮I hope your country will suffer 10 generations from now on. Sa imi sugi cariciul tarfa ruseasca.
@@wc1937 Yes this story is exaggerated, I've watched lots of videos showing Moscow as normal. But have you considered that you are also being fed propaganda? I'd say life definitely isn't normal for the people in Moscow that don't believe everything the Russian government tells them, I bet they feel isolated and cut off from even their loved ones who are completely deluded. Thoughts?
@@rogan6947 well you can't expect russian media filled with white angels when western media is filled with propaganda, right? Every media has their own propaganda to spread. Moreover, internet is available in russia, so none is isolated, they can surf internet to satisfy their curiosity. Just like how some people are deluded by their govt in western nations obviously there are some people who are deluded by russian govt there.
As a well known author once said “Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.'’
'History is written by the Victor' . Probably a better quote given the reputation of journalists lol
Reescribir la historia, ¿dónde vimos antes eso?

BBC controls the present obviously
Give me spice!
As an average Moscow resident, I can say that my life hasn’t changed at all.
Can you say something bad about the army on social medias ?
@@stanstankov9153 I live and Moscow, and in the start of war I supported Ukraine, and said many bad things about our army and leadership in social networks. And I'm all right. During the 15 months of the war in Russia, only 5,000 cases of "discrediting the army" were initiated, of which less than a thousand ended in criminal terms. The rest were fined. Russian social networks are full of Ukrainian bots and provacators, and they are dealt with by the people themselves, not law enforcement agencies.
Have you got your electronic draft letter get?
@@ElaborateTiger I am student, so I am free from army up to 2026. Also, I live in Moscow, and in mobilization scale in Moscow are much lower than in other parts of Russia. People from province are suffering much more. Nearly 400 thousand planned to be drafted to war this spring and summer
Yep.. still repressed and unable to have freedom of speech for fear of the archaic society controlling freaks you have in power over there.
The fact that they've already put it in their "hall of victory" (nice newspeak there), is mind-blowing. It's such an excellent example of why history needs to be constantly evaluated and reexamined, to make sure that truth is the priority.
Yes, this is too musc as for me (live in Moscow). But I also sadly surprised that Zelensky renamed Victory Day to Europe Day. It looks like he's letting us know that Ukraine was among the losers in WWII.
@@chloris6349 Ukraine is European.
@@Pfromm007 Россия тоже европейская страна, но отменять великий праздник как для российского так и для украинского народа, только потому что его отмечают русские - глупо. Праздник создан, чтобы почтить память погибших солдат, которые подарили нам жизнь, если бы не они нас бы и скорее всего вас бы тоже не было. Вклад каждой страны сражавшейся против нацистов важен. Ведь было очень много украинцев, которые внесли огромный вклад в защиту советских территорий. Но поймите, действия не только украинцев, но и других стран, по типу "внесём памятники, потому что это русские" неправильные, ведь некоторые страны начали существовать только после развала СССР, многим странам помог СССР во второй мировой, ведь многие страны не могли больше месяца сопротивляться Гитлеру, а сейчас снос памятников великих людей, спасших их страны - тупость. Тоже самое что сносить памятники поэтам, что они то вам сделали?? Они умерли сотни лет назад. Судите сами
In US, no one follows the rules you have mentioned.
Yes. Especially when you start to get a sense of the true depth of what is one very nasty rabbit hole.
This war is total madness .
All war is madness. How can it be anything but. Yet still we send the youth to fight.
It is not, the Jewlensky regime caused it, simple as. Although Russians should have just removed him and ended the story before it began.
Then stop sending weapons to Ukraine and let this war to end.
@@paulleach3612 I know probably you wouldnt, but people do defend their country without no orders, did you know that? do you think many Ukrainians would not fight if government wouldnt tell them? it would probably be an insurgency war, guerilla war, not regular force like it is now, but they would be fighting. and you would be watching how they get slowly hunted by those Z lowlifes.
@@alexsilent5603 stop dreaming you lowlife scum. Ukraine wont live by the Z pervert rules, do you understand? Z freaks cut heads and balls off for POWs. they are like ISIS but with snow.
Never travel to any country where they can arrest you and detain you indefinitely on some trumped up charges.

No , respect yourself and mind your own business and no one will hurt you
Like Julian Assange did?
I live in Russia and, honestly, it hasn't changed a bit for me in these 14 month. Politicians are stating, soldiers are fighting, the frontline's standing still. The people are working, children are studying, foreigners are judging, everything's just the same. Most people including me are just tired of this neverending something happening in Ukraine. We just don't see any meaning in referencing the war most of the time, because we have no control over it anyway. The propaganda? It's always been there since its creation and it hasn't changed a bit. Nobody cares about "newspeak" or some stupid ideas, for everyone it's a war, not a SMO, but everyone's just staying in the comfort zone, because freaking 14 months have passed and nothing changed for most people.
Comments from foreigners on the Internet are mostly unauthentic and unfiting. Like, all these references to 1984 are just not true. It's as if a Russian would call USA 1984, and they would be just as right as you are. Still, it's only natural that foreigners are trying to take part in something they don't understand. There are also people in Russia that want Trump or Biden to win and for some reason care about whatever happens in the USA. I hope the war ends soon, and Ukrainians may experience peace at last.
Same, I live in the UK.
ну на счет скоро это вряд ли.Да и хрен знает как это закончить тут скорее что должно остаться только 2 восточно-славянских государства третий лишний(
While you all don’t care your president with his decision stole normal life from my family. Why do I have to suffer from your politicians? Mostly I see zero empathy from Russians. Many say «Ukrainians bomb themselves”. Will never understand Russians. Lack of empathy and complete apathy will get back at you
@@tetianabastyl756 Lol, but Ukr did bomb themselves while its people stood silent and did nothing to help those in the Eastern regions, this is objective truth, and it's why things have escalated to this point. No sympathy given, clown.

Yup that tone of voice is deliberate. It creates tension as if it's a very dangerous place. He's a good propagandist with many years of practice. The BBC is the best at brainwashing gullible people who never question their narrative. Find other sources outside of NATO to compare notes

@@billytheweasel US Karens and Hillbillies and radical Trumpers *ARE* rational compared to the average Russian (except the youth/internet generation).
Although it is indeed a very nice style to report events in Russia. He still holds that slightly biased opinion, especially during interviews with governmental officials (Mr. Lavrov), was quite rude at parts.
if this is British "gold" then there is no surprise in its fall from an empire that led the world to a noisy nothingness🤣😂🤣😂
This war between Russia and Ukraine is so unnecessary so many inncoent people have lost their lives and what for? The pain, suffering, food shortages and massive depression just heartbreaking for the innocent people in Russia and Ukraine
Lack of food in Russia... are you kidding me? Less watch this channel and TV in general ...
Yep - tell it to those who were winding up this war for last 2 decades (if I remember right it was not Russia who changed power in Ukraine twice - back in 2004 and in 2014 :) ), didn't stop Ukraine attacking Donbass for 8 years (more like Germany and France) and continues to wind up the hatred (see Steve Rosenberg reports :) ).
what for? This is a matter of honor and a matter of blood feud.
It wasn’t the west you can’t blame them for this one the only time the west caused Russia to invade a country was Georgia and that’s it the only time it happened. The Ukraine war is a war solely started by Putin and his cronies and that’s it nobody to blame for this except them
@@imcdim Donbass was stolen by Russia. There's no blaming Ukraine.

@@tomdh8394 true, his job is to serve anti russian propaganda not call out the west on their invasions of actually poor defenseless countries unlike ukraine a country with the largest nuclear plant in europe, it takes balls for russia to take on countries that are capable. while we in the west get dominated by goat herders in afghanistan and rice farmers in vietnam. we in the usa are the fascist empire we keep complaining about
Hoping this is resolved soon. Loss of life is horrible, regardless of which side...be safe.
Loss of Russian pondlife is never horrible. I hope they all die tbh. They cut a Ukrainians head off. They castrated another. This is how they treat people they call their "brothers" what do you think they'll so to others?
Every dead Russian is one less scumbucket we have to worry about.
Carolyn that's a very naive statement. The loss of the lives of a group of men man with weapons running at your home trying to kill you and your family is not something to mourn. The Ukrainians have been attacked in their own homes, have a think about how you'd react if that happened to you. You are equating evil people dying with good people dying.
I cried when that nazi soldier died said no one ever lol wtf

Thanks so much for posting.
Same, Russia will win this war and prevent WW3 from happening. If NATO controls Ukraine that means they will also control nuclear power plants there and that will cause a global crisis in Europe. Seriously if Cuba had nuclear power plant and the US would have done the same thing by attacking them. This is pure propaganda for the west to justify their action

Thanks for the report. However, I truly concerned about your security there. How are they still tolerate BBC there?
You're concerned because you believe in all BS from your media outlets, you don't ask yourself how the guy did that report freely? even thou he was talking BS too? ask yourself before to be concerned.
@@salimmazariboufares3118 The reporter is talking BS? Please explain
I guess he thought of the last sentences: " Nazi Germany attacked SU, but now Russia attacked Ukraine". This sentence gives you the impression Russia just attacked Ukraine because Russia is evil and wants to conquere Ukraine. And neglects the facts that Ukraine wanted to join a military alliance which sees Russia as an enemy. By the way there were constant fights in Donbas for years before the official starting day of this horrible war. So I guess he thought something like this. Each coin has two sides. Even if you do not mention the other.
@Broz Joszip if nato is so bad, why not attack NATO itself?
@@brozjoszip6401 Finland which has an 800km long border with Russia has joined NATO. Will Russia attack it? There are a couple or so of other smaller countries that joined NATO a long time ago. Why didn't Russia attack them? Your line of argument is not making sense.
He can't get over the fact that everything is fine.
No, one thing has changed, no McDonald's anymore.
Oh yeah - everything is fine alright! What a joke. When your only true allies are China, North Korea and Iran, and the rest of the world considers you criminals, it’s not going well. The country will be paying the price for decades because of Putin’s war

And now the idea of going to live in a western country has completely left my mind.
Do not forget that in WW2 the Soviet Union invaded Poland alongside Nazi Germany in September 1939. During WW2 they invaded other countries too. The sad part is, they kept those lands for nearly 50 years as "victors and liberators".
After 50 years they left. US is still there, calling their occupation "alliance".

There's only one word that really sums it up: sadness.
It really is sad what people from both sides are experiencing. Here's hoping that one day, this "special military operation" comes to a peaceful end.
Unfortunately, this is not why Western politicians seized power in Ukraine and set it against Russia. The West will continue to sponsor this war.
WAR*
Some Russians say they call it a "special operation " because the war hasn't even begun yet. Meaning no nukes and deaths in the hundred thousands yet. Scary.
There will no peace until Ukraine totally defeats russia on Ukrainian ground. Which will happen soon.

Of course they won't. It doesn't suit their narrative
the probably do not mention Finland either, these "liberators"
sighh did they? did they really? what is the point of spreading this crap? It was not in "alliance" with the nazis. It was a part of a demarcation agreement between the 2 blocs which was meant to ensure that they kept their distance from each other. So when the Germans broke that pact by invading Poland, the Soviets responded in kind to control the territory that they had ceded to Poland after the Polish-Russo war and which housed Ukrainians and Belarussians who were basically Soviets. Either you're uneducated or a troll.
Well, a lot of people in the West don't know that Russia started WW2 together with Germany. (Just google Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). Hitler attached from the West, Russia from the East, in September 1939. Only 2 years later, after Hitler betrayed Stalin, Russia reluctantly joined the Allies. In fact, any ne who studies history knows Russia has been one of the biggest aggressors in human history - not Germany.
Why didn't the Western allies declare war on BOTH NAZI GERMANY & USSR then?
Wow a clean pond

Shame on you..
The Majority of the Russian people have been filled with too much fear due to deaths , and imprisonment at every attempted uprising. The State controls , housing , medical , job market , pay , police , and prisons. The people are beaten down before they ever get to a point to rebel .

Not true we know however most of the Russian people don’t . SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦🇪🇺 Some do , but can’t fully convince others of the truth . Good Russian people are damed if they do rebel , and damed if they don’t rebel . This is why partisans do in secret what ever they can when they can .

Me after watching video : i still like russia 🗿
Does 2 times the minimal wage worth your life? I don't think so
Russia is a state of mind.
It should be noted, that for the majority who are happily under the sway of the propaganda it is definitely more or less normal life. Everything stated here only concerns the people who know and believe the truth, a large portion of which has already left the country
And what is the truth?
LMAO
They left not for the truth tinfoil hat man, they left because they are cowards they don't care for ukraine or Russia they do it so they can live longer.
@@doom-biden5405 That Russia is stuck living in the past.

Some of these people in Moscow are in for a rude awakening in the coming years.
Europe should remember Charles XXII, Napoleon, Hitler and believe in God.
That is what BBC want you to believe, bcoz they know most ppl are 🐑🐑🐑 and will believe anything they say.
If half of Russians died from starvation, Moscow would still live well. Regular Russians can't even be in Moscow area without permission. So, nope, Moscow won't awaken any time soon. Regions - maybe...

@@mikesamovarov4054 We manage that problem somewhat differently in the USA. The people living in rural supply regions get a whole different media narrative, basically telling them that godless liberals inhabit the cities, so they should stay home. But yes, keeping Johnny / Ivan down on the farm has been a societal problem everywhere for a long time.
Funny) Im from Russia and I have small question) If Russia is like North Korea without any freedom, how this speaker can walk and tell us about all horrors of it?
Steve do you worry about being arrested on charges of “espionage” ?
He doesn't seem to be sniffing around ammo factories trying to bribe locals for information. As long as he doesn't do stuff like that in any country (especially one in the middle of a war) I guess he'd be safe.
I won’t be surprised to wake up and he’s locked up too as a spy 🤦🏽♂️
I love how this is meant to show the russians as miserable. When it apears its life as normal in russia. The russian economy apears to wither the sanctions and even grow. Compare this to the us which may soon default on its debt and not too long ago put people under authoritarian covid restrictions.
This didn’t age well, lmao and don’t talk about authoritarianism you commie lover
Atleast no one died from fentanyl
It's a stark reminder that "Free and Fair Elections" are so important in a democracy!
Demagoguery has no place in a democratic society!
In the words of Benjamin Franklin we have a Republic " If we can keep it."
Thank your lucky stars you're not living in Russia right now.
I am surprised you were brave enough to film this there
Lmao what
Ahha, brave enough??? What is wrong with filming here??? People live here as they used to live... No one is in danger of dying or suffering:) Well, constant propaganda...
as a russian, I can say that nothing has changed. the only annoying thing is that we cannot pay with our cards in the shops of foreign countries. old brands (specialising on clothes and food) have new names, but they’re doing the same work and we do not really feel it on ourselves. like, who is going to die bc “coca-cola” is being called “coolcola”, lmao?
new generations of people (generally) do not care about it and keep living as usual-
It is very significant that you giggle at this while completely ignoring that your country is mass murdering innocent civilians that once were called your "brothers'". Europe also once thought we could build friendship and peace through trade. But who wants to trade with a monster? The consequences of this will make you giggle less once your economy collapses, which is inevitable. Have a nice future in your pariah state !
@@justthink8282 What else should we do? These innocent residents wish us death (not to the military, but to the whole nation). Do I need to start worrying about them? The first week I was really against the war, but the ukrainians convinced me.
@@dammmmzz They only wished death on you AFTER you occupied their country, destroyed properties, raped and murdered thousands of people. If you hadn't armed their separatists, annexed Crimea and started a full scale war, they would have lived a peaceful life. Even from Europe, not even being in the battlezone, I wish that Russians would experience just one day the anxiety of shelling, bombing and shooting in their neighborhood, so they know what they are inflicting on innocent civilians. Ukranians have lost all respect for Russians and for a long long time they will blame you, as Russians blamed Germans for the occupation and killing of their people. You have learned nothing from history. Didn't Russians wish death on the Germans ? So in your logic, your people deserved WW2...
@@justthink8282 wtf? this dude is an innocent civillian and does not even play a part in the war at all. what do you want him to do? march to putins office and tell him to stop? i get it you hate russia cause they invaded ukraine and everyone hates them. but telling some random guy on the internet that their country is a pariah state and a monster is a pretty bad way to go about it, immature even.
@@dammmmzz I doubt you would react to love towards people who are destroying your family, friends, home... And when you see ruskies like you saying they deserve it.

He doesn't care to answer that. A quick propaganda nonsense is all he is paid for.
How many Russian reporters are in the U.S. and openly criticize the government and the country? Ask this presenter...is it hard for him to live in Russia=) how tired I am of the U.S.
Not curious about the Russian supermarkets for food and other basic products? Why, for us to don't see in the West what various and plenty offer is waiting for the buyers? Fortunately, other people entered in the Russian supermarkets, recorded them and posted on UA-cam in English.
do they have poor , homeless people in Russia like we have in US? in Los Angeles there is more then 60,000 homeless people leaving on the street, come and see it.
@@romankrzanowski7843 - - I do not know what is happening in Russia about homelessness, but definitely in America that's a huge mess.
There are some homeless people in Russia, but definetly much fewer than 60 000. Unfortunately, for the majority of them homelessness is their own choice. There are a lot of organizations (state, private, religious) that are ready to help this people with temporary accommodation, restoration of documents and finding jobs, but they must be willing to get back to normal life: quit drinking, be interested in work and readjustment to the society. Not all of them are.
There are lots of soup kitchens for such people and charities, that provide them with second hand clothes; as all Russian citizens, homeless people are entitled to free medical help, even if they are unemployed, so a lot of them are happy with their "freedom".
@@user-ku3qg1gb7o - - Daria, what you wrote about Russia is in general, the same situation like in many other developed countries. Many of those people are simply complacent in that kind of life. By the way, in America we don't have free medical care, quite often you can lose your house to pay for medical bills. Hospital asking $23 thousand for a short visit to an emergency room is real, not invented.
Back to homeless, the disgusting British crews used to visit Bucharest, where I was born, from mid 1990's to mid 2010's, only and only to hunt with their camera for the homeless. While they were doing that, they were very careful to don't record any beautiful building, any great avenue or any decent person walking on the street.
@@romankrzanowski7843This is caused by D.U. I . Officers / corrupt court systems / Job stealing illegal immigrants/ , and bad decisions made by our non-foresighted President that issued the open border policy that allowed all of Americas enemies in without detection = HOMELESS PEOPLE /RUINED REPUTATIONS of people looking for work .

p. s. im scared
So, get ready to take back control of your country.. only way of escaping total mayhem
It’s definitely coming, it’s been coming for a while in Russia, change is needed.
Boot
Why can't Russians see that it's wrong to attack & annexes territories of sovereign UN member neighbors Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine? Russian attacks on Latvia, Lithuania & Estonia were unprovoked. What are u people thinking all these 25 years of Russian attacks on neighbors?

Right. He must go get the things done in Ukraine👍🏻
Put-in busy making Zelensky humble..
Victors write history… but nowadays everyone has a camera, something russia doesn’t seem to yet realize
But you never seen photos of Russian children killed by Ukrainian nazis in Donbass
A quarter of a century… you mean 25years?
That told us very little, if anything about life in Russia after 14months.
fr, all I saw was some dudes getting arrested and military recruitment signs/posters and other random crap. This video showed nothing related to how the average joe (or ivan) lives in their day to day life. At least show us a cherry picked person who lost their job working in McDonald's because of the war to make Russia look bad lmao.
Of course it's BBC and not RT news that pops up.
Your experiences... it is very cute. But nothing has really changed in Russia, Russians live, work and enjoy life. About the same as the Americans during the war in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya.
Why don't you ask foreigners like me ,a Brit who chose to live in Moscow. Your propoganda is really way off the truth. Moscow is doing well. Independent shops and cafes are springing up everywhere. No chains both metaphorically and in reality
Знаете, как мы живём? Также, только надежды ещё больше нет.

Don't judge Britain harshly because of one report. This is just one BBC journalist, not the whole country.
Haha a funny thing because we, Russians, think precisely the same about the great West. Just try to think why you do take his opinionfor the purest truth about country against which this man works and in which he works (and still working despite horror and despotism given his information, what should be strange, shouldn't be?)

@@natalialanskih3938 это слишком сложные мысли для западенцев
Comparing the actions of Soviet soldiers during ww2 to today is a disgrace to their memory.
Considering the mass deaths suffered and the desperate yet valiant defence of the then Soviet Ukrainian people, I think comparing their grandparents fight against fascism to their post-independence resistance of Russia deserves to be compared and admired.
Do you mean group rape of German women and killings of German businesspeople and city offiicals to set up pro-Soviet government?
Bad propoganda by BBC😂. Try harder
Surreal is the word. Moscow feels like a slowly deteriorating corpse and its people try their best to ignore the smell that just won't go away. I can't imagine how it is for a foreigner - before Gershkovich you at least felt like they were relatively safe.
