That's awesome Big K! We get to hear how much 'it' has upset you every day, but it is easy to forget that there are tens of thousands of Russians in the same situation as you now too. What a brilliant way for your Russian friends to know that they're not hated by those of us outside of Russia and to build a new, better community for you and your friends. Give yourself a pat on the back.
@@allisonmarlow184 what the ppl their attacking!? - Great I'm glad their not on the battlefield but life in UZBEKISTAN looks nothing like this for people who live there. He is in the land of the 1%
Constantine glad you have a support group where you are at! I think you all are awesome standing for what you believe. Look at all the troops doing the same, just different! Stay safe!
@@INSIDERUSSIA Do you think there will be a new exodus in January when they will mobilize 700,000 new men? Hope you are enjoying your holiday. Looking forward to the next video. Long overdue ;-)
I can only imagine the toll this has taken on you Konstantin to leave your home and family, but at least you have mum with you. You look such a tough guy but your heart is tender, caring and so kind. Good to meet your friends. I like the café very much, a good ambience. May God bless you all x 🇬🇧
Thats freaking awesome brother! I dont have any idea what your going through or do i pretend to know. But i know the people at this club are having a wonderful time knowing that they are not alone an they have a friend like you to talk about there problems. Like you said its therapeutic and good for the soul! Best of luck to all of you
Some of us Westerners are starting to question the values of the West. I question our values and how liberal the West is at this point. But, I am not leaving, maybe, some of you Russians are more liberal minded than is good for your Country. They might not miss you since you left.
@@swsleeping you think the problem with the west is it’s too liberal? Sir let me introduce you to Russia where men are men pronouns are banned and daddy Putin definitely lifts
I really think categorizing equality, dignity, human rights, and democracy as “western values” is misleading. You can absolutely find people in the west who think we should be less tolerant of the marginalized and way more authoritarian. And I can’t imagine Konstantin turning away a trans person fleeing for their lives, or rejecting a family of two moms trying to save their son
The West has no values. Are you kidding me?? We let teachers and the left indoctrinate our children and convince them they are the wrong gender to which then they have surgeries to mutilate themselves. Great values.
A glimpse of the beautiful people of Russia. A Russian invasion of the local coffee shop for some conversation, encouragement and relaxation. A shame you had to uproot your lives. Say Hi to all your friends there and it was nice meeting them Konstantin. Thank your for such a heart warming video. Dale
I would love to be there hanging out. I tried to do that here in austin.. make a breakfast club, but nobody came. I think there are a number of reasons and I think it's sad that we cannot just meet new people and spend time talking
@@INSIDERUSSIA but that's so far away and expensive! Look online for a Russian community in Austin. There has to be one ... or find the nearest to Austin. I live in Oklahoma next to University of Science and Arts Oklahoma (USAO) I can ask around, I bet students know!
@@sumiland6445 Is there an Austin in Oklahoma? I assumed you were talking about Austin, Texas which is very far from Oklahoma especially for breakfast meetings. I lived in Austin, Texas for many years. I'm sure there are Russians there especially at the University of Texas.
@@sjbock @Sumiland well I live on the south side of town and I'm 55 years old. First, it would take an hour in traffic to get around ut. There's no place to park around there. Students do their own thing they're not going to be hanging out with someone my age. I really wanted to do it near me but where I live, most people speak Spanish instead of English and men are off working and women are at home taking care of the babies. Also in austin, people don't really do things that don't have alcohol involved.
You are doing a good job. A social group like that is really good for mental health, the bigger the difference the more important it becomes. I found it very, very hard when I suddenly found myself "stuck" in England "forever", from a quite different cultural and social background, not knowing enough English to communicate even many basic needs (so everyone treated me as the idiot of blond jokes). My education system was so different it made my qualifications worthless and I could not get a job which wasn't skull numbingly dull. From well-known and respected locally I became just one more of society's rejects with no value as a human being.. Just to speak my own language and communicate freely would have helped so much! Even better if they understood where I was coming from. But that was a time before the Internet. Phone calls were expensive, quick messages were not logical - you would save news and write long letters that took time and effort when you finally got around to it, lives and lifestyles became so different friends became more distant in each passing year, each absorbed in their own busy lives until only a small core of childhood friends would stay. Of course I recovered and rebuilt my life, but there are others that find the culture shock, being torn away from familiar surroundings too hard so they become depressed, maybe angry at the society, and start drinking or taking drugs - I have even known some committing a suicide.
This is great for all of you to get together and yes it is certainly very therapeutique like any support groups. I am happy you have had this idea to help you and everyone in these very difficult time. One day you will remember about this time where you were there trying to recover from this emigration from Russia all together...and you will enjoy these memories and even laugh of some of them. Hang on there everyone...life is still long and there is so much more to live. God bless you all.
We are being given a front row seat to your depression therapy. You have rightly chosen to help others, and in doing so have helped yourself. You are practicing the adage, "A burden shared is half a burden".
Great video really enjoyed seeing your group. One of things I really like about videos like this is that it shows us that no matter where you're from people are very similar and it's politics and religion that tears us apart. I'm hoping that all the Russians that left Russia will be able to return home someday. If they want to. Of course I'm also hoping that all those Russian can become a force for change in Russia in the future.
Seeing that joy of community, to me, felt like a breath of air. It made me smile to see how you are moving your life forward with positivity and joyous growth. This video also humanized the refugee saga for me. It felt like I was oddly realizing the obvious: that not everyone who took your path are identical to you. I sincerely hope you will dedicate some videos to INTERVIEWING INDIVIDUAL REFUGEES FOR THEIR IN-DEPTH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL STORIES. You might dedicate 20 minutes to their detailing their previous lives, transition, and hopes for the future. You then might then spend 10 minutes on your own in your apartment providing context for what they have said, such as the local city and culture of that person, what makes that story representative, and what makes that particular trek unique to the individual. Just a thought. ~~~ In response to your video on money, I wanted to suggest that while, of course, Americans also find questions of personal income rude, THE COLD CURIOSITY ANOUT YOUR UA-cam INCOME PROBABLY DOES NOT TARGET YOU. I think all UA-cam creators get those questions. I believe it targets UA-cam, Google, and Alphabet.

You have region-scale experience with major government energy investments. Your hospitality experience taught you needs of smaller business and local scales. As you set off in a new world on your own, have you considered the niche of transitioning businesses to solar or net-zero buildings? I can imagine you starting with small-scale solar retrofits as you grow your reputation to gain clients such as big-box chains, shopping centers, and corporate facilities. ~~~ I hope you are looking into the film I recommended, *the Experimenter* (2015).

There's body bags galore in Putin's war, Where blood and tears flow evermore, Innocent lives lost without a score, And peace a dream we can't restore. The world looks on with bated breath, As Putin plays his deadly game of death, A game he's played with cold finesse, Leaving families grieving in distress. The bombs keep falling, the guns keep firing, The sirens wail, the people are tiring, Of this endless cycle of violence and despair, That seems to have no end, no hope, no care. But we must not lose sight of the light, That shines within us, strong and bright, We must stand tall and fight the good fight, And work towards a future that's truly right. For though Putin's war may rage and roar, And body bags may fill the shore, We will not give up, we will not ignore, The power of love, of peace, of more.
What a great idea! And I adore Slava---follow his videos now since the pandemic 2019 started, adore his family also...Would hope this helps with your homesickness but sure you all miss your families. God bless & stay safe.
Thank you for taking us for breakfast. Your co-Russians all look like you may find in any towns/cities all over the world. One cannot say hey, that's a Russian. So glad to have met them. I noticed ? Vladimer had milk in his tea? We, South Africans drink milk and sugar in our tea. A great majority drink a cup of coffee in the morning. At 09h00 we have tea (well, I do - others will have coffee again) Throughout the day I will drink 4 different makes of tea. Chinese tea (which help with bowel movement), Ordinary Five Roses tea, Rooibos tea (typical to South Africa, it grows here and is the healthiest tea) and a cup (or 500 ml bottle) of Ginger tea - depending on the weather. In winter I drink a cup of tea with sugar and in summer I drink the same amount of tea, let it cool down and pour it into a bottle and fill it with cold water. This Ginger tea is a product of Taiwan and it is granules - not leaves. My youngest son decided at the age of 6 months that he doesn't like his milk. I tried another formula but he didn't want that either. Took him to my doctor and he said there's nothing wrong with him I must start giving him little bit more porridge in the morning and he can drink as much black rooibos tea with a little sugar in. At night I increased his food slightly, made him a bottle of rooibos tea and he grew up to be a very healthy boy.
Hoping you guys well from america and hoping this nightmare will end soon and i , as a father of four children in their 20s, send my utmost condolences to all Russian and ukranian parents for your losses. i am truly sorry
I am glad that you can get together with Russian people and share time and try to enjoy yourselves. I live in Los Angeles and get together with friends or family only a few times a year. I call friends on the phone much more often than meeting them in person. I hardly use email or text messages and prefer to talk on the phone. Take care of yourself and your family.
Hello from Canada. I am a 70-year-old male. I subscribed to your channel a while ago. The reason I did is you have helped me a great deal to NOT hate all Russians. This is so important to me as I have always believed that most folks all over the world want the same things. Warmth, safety, food, and a roof over our heads. This attack on Ukraine and all the things that are happening there almost had me convinced that perhaps that war that we all fear is the thing we need. So the world can start over. Now I can spend some time with you and come back to where I belong, knowing that I was right and there are good Russians and lots of them. I ask my Creator to let the forces of good defeat evil. I know you may never read this Constantine but I needed to write it. When the dust settles you might want to look at Canada as a good place to settle. We want skilled immigrants, unlike our southern neighbour. Carl
Hi Carl, southern neighbor here, I agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAID. Even if Konstantin didn't get to read your comment, I did, and wholeheartedly agree, thank you!
God bless all Rossiya... thank you for showing this simple day in life morning breakfast in beautiful Uzbekistan, bro. I really hope all the madness ends soon and all people can feel more confident and ambitious and motivated to just live in their home place of choice or travel without such extreme caution and worries ✌🔛 Spacibo . Love
Ok, I'm confused. I just saw Slava there, but I thought he was in Kazakhstan...? LOVE Konstantin's Breakfast Club! (And they all speak English! So cool.) You keep on doing the right thing for the right reason, and you're a uniter by nature. It warms my heart and makes me proud to "know" you. 🇺🇸🌴
Hey what’s up friends. I was part of this video also 😊 we used to sit outside but now that it got a little colder we have to be inside. Lots of great people come and it’s always interesting to hear other people stories so yeah.
Lovely people :) Russian demographics implosion is the biggest threat to Russia. One or no kids. And now a war worsening the situation. I’ve done my part, three blue eyed daughters :)
I am really shocked about some comments here. How can you not see that these people are also refugees? Just because one can afford a fried egg in a restaurant once in a while does not mean they are happy about leaving their home, family, career, culture and their whole life behind. To me, one who leaves his home against their will to avoid being arrested or killed or being forced to kill is a refugee. Ukrainians might suffer a terrible life right now, but I certainly wouldn't want to carry the burden of the people in the video, despite coffee and sausage in a cozy place.
It’s so good that you socialize with others like yourself. They look like nice people who have one thing in common. My wish is that all of you find safety, security, happiness 😊and prosperity outside of Russia. 👍👊👫
Inside Russia, I’m a refugee from Laos to the USA 40 years ago. It was horrible to go through. You are an immigrant now and suffering but I’m sure not as bad as us and those Ukrainian. Putin will never ever bless by God. His life will end exactly like Hitler for the millions crimes he committed in Ukraine.
@@INSIDERUSSIA Sorry brother, for some reason I didnt notice since UA-cam changed the interface. Your live videos were in a different section! I just noticed! I was checking the video section.
This is the most positive video you have made in a long time. Well done. A small group, Im sure there are many many more who would love to get together
I think this was my favourite video of yours yet, Konstantin! What a mentally and emotionally intelligent and socially uplifting idea to build this amazing support group! Very well done‼️ I wish you all peace, success, better days ahead knowing you're not alone and years of friendship ahead that you may never have had in common otherwise! Something good out of something bad! 👏👏👏🙏✝️💜🧡💛
I missed your recent streams since I started my new job recently. There's so much to learn about it and I'm too exhausted to deal with "SMO" or related topics lately. I'm so glad you found yourself a getaway. Best wishes from Germany. 😊
I still wonder what the real motives are for the Russians who fled abroad after the announcement of the mobilisation. Is it because they don't agree with Putin's policy, is it because they didn't want to be sent to Ukraine with guns, or is it just because of the personal risk of being injured or killed? I would assume the last point will be the biggest reason. The case is different with the Russians who had to leave their country in the spring because they had problems with the police during demonstrations against the war. The reasons are clearer there. Then I wonder how many FSB personnel were sent along? It is well known that the FSB is particularly keen to send its employees to foreign countries where large groups of Russians live. Sometimes there are dissidents among them and they have to be monitored, and it is also easier to organise pro-Putin demonstrations that way.
Good that Natasha can now join you for the breakfast club you have created. Creating a network of like minded people is what is needed . You will be able to support each other in these difficult times .
@@julientihema8896 I wonder if you think I was referring to the other Natasha. I was actually referring to Konstantin's wife , now that she is in Uzbekistan 🙂 I have watched (the other) Natasha and Zack as well and it's good they also got out
It's Great that So many of You meet and discuss, Chill, including Ukrainians, Help each other as I encourage networking for the Good of All! Such unstable times for You All, so sad that the poorer people cannot escape immobilisation and are forced to fight and die as fodder! Kids! My heart breaks for all! Ukraine did not ask for this! Only like minded people like Yourself and like minded Ukrainians can rebuild Russia and Ukraine independently to allow independent growth with respect for each other and improve the lives of all! X
Personal decency at the breakfast table is a powerful force for good. Thank you for sharing. Humanity around the world is suffering for many reasons that are not all about military actions, so in my humble opinion it is of utmost importance for all of us to maintain human decency in history’s dark hours.
Wishing and praying that one day Russia will be a genuine republic and democracy led by wise leaders & politicians who have their best interest at heart, her people free to imagine, to live, to love & to dream and make their dreams come true and be able to live decently with all the amenities and comforts of modern life so those who want to come back will be back in a country at peace with herself & her neighbors, a fully functional and peaceful member amongst the family of nations and renouncing war once and for all as a means to solve problems.
Dude.... that guy is supporting Putin and invasion on Ukraine. He just doesn't want to be drafted. that's the problem with Russia. He gave the "Z" many supports
Your English vocabulary and accent is so good I forget that it is your second language. It must be comforting for you to have a chat in Russian every day.
Konstantin - I'm so glad see you're back - Thought you had been apprehended and couldn't speak no more - But alas - I was wrong and I hope see more uploads from you.
Good morning Konstantin I like the idea of you Russian citizens meeting daily you can always support and exchange ideas now that's wonderful wishing you all my best wishes for returning to a safe and sane Russian
When you told that guy he wasn't smiling he made a face like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 😅 No hard feelings, was just the first thing that came to my mind. Props to you for organizing this. I hope very much that by your arguments and your kind and empathetic aura you get some constructive discussion going in that group.
Morning Konstantin. I like the way you are helping people and I am following your work since the beginning, that's why I have need to say what I am about to say, because I notice you started doing it more often. Why do you bring religion to a table? Asking someone if he believes in God is actually really inappropriate, it is personal, you are putting someone in position to justify himself in either way. Like asking someone if he is gay or what sex position he/she prefers. As atheist, whenever asked I feel pressured to defend myself and my stance. It is not lightweight theme and brings conflict between people. Religion is separating peope not unifying. It's also a society control mechanism. Seneca: "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful".
That's so nice. It would be interesting to hear more about the Russian speaking community in Tashkent, and about the general sentiment at the moment.
Yes. I would also like to hear more about the Russians opinion, that Kremlin will allegedly mobilize 700,000 new recruits in January?
That's awesome Big K! We get to hear how much 'it' has upset you every day, but it is easy to forget that there are tens of thousands of Russians in the same situation as you now too. What a brilliant way for your Russian friends to know that they're not hated by those of us outside of Russia and to build a new, better community for you and your friends. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Try HUNDREDS of thousands of Russians in the same situation.

Thank you for inviting us to the breakfast club. Much appreciated!
Future Russia needs more people like you, whose understand and appreciate the values of the west. Stay strong!

There's body bags galore in Putin's war,
Where blood and tears flow evermore,
Innocent lives lost without a score,
And peace a dream we can't restore.
The world looks on with bated breath,
As Putin plays his deadly game of death,
A game he's played with cold finesse,
Leaving families grieving in distress.
The bombs keep falling, the guns keep firing,
The sirens wail, the people are tiring,
Of this endless cycle of violence and despair,
That seems to have no end, no hope, no care.
But we must not lose sight of the light,
That shines within us, strong and bright,
We must stand tall and fight the good fight,
And work towards a future that's truly right.
For though Putin's war may rage and roar,
And body bags may fill the shore,
We will not give up, we will not ignore,
The power of love, of peace, of more.

My youngest son decided at the age of 6 months that he doesn't like his milk. I tried another formula but he didn't want that either. Took him to my doctor and he said there's nothing wrong with him I must start giving him little bit more porridge in the morning and he can drink as much black rooibos tea with a little sugar in. At night I increased his food slightly, made him a bottle of rooibos tea and he grew up to be a very healthy boy.
Congrats to everyone for getting away in time. I hope the war ends quickly for everyone's sake.
It's so great to see everyone supporting each other, in such difficult times.
Sweet! Great to see your fellow travelers being able to connect. 😎
Hoping you guys well from america and hoping this nightmare will end soon and i , as a father of four children in their 20s, send my utmost condolences to all Russian and ukranian parents for your losses. i am truly sorry
I am glad that you can get together with Russian people and share time and try to enjoy yourselves. I live in Los Angeles and get together with friends or family only a few times a year. I call friends on the phone much more often than meeting them in person. I hardly use email or text messages and prefer to talk on the phone. Take care of yourself and your family.
I'd rather live in Russia than California.
Hello from Canada. I am a 70-year-old male. I subscribed to your channel a while ago. The reason I did is you have helped me a great deal to NOT hate all Russians. This is so important to me as I have always believed that most folks all over the world want the same things. Warmth, safety, food, and a roof over our heads. This attack on Ukraine and all the things that are happening there almost had me convinced that perhaps that war that we all fear is the thing we need. So the world can start over. Now I can spend some time with you and come back to where I belong, knowing that I was right and there are good Russians and lots of them. I ask my Creator to let the forces of good defeat evil. I know you may never read this Constantine but I needed to write it. When the dust settles you might want to look at Canada as a good place to settle. We want skilled immigrants, unlike our southern neighbour.
Carl
Hi Carl, southern neighbor here, I agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAID. Even if Konstantin didn't get to read your comment, I did, and wholeheartedly agree, thank you!
I'm very skilled but can't travel there and wouldn't love my motherland
God bless all Rossiya... thank you for showing this simple day in life morning breakfast in beautiful Uzbekistan, bro. I really hope all the madness ends soon and all people can feel more confident and ambitious and motivated to just live in their home place of choice or travel without such extreme caution and worries ✌🔛 Spacibo . Love
Ok, I'm confused. I just saw Slava there, but I thought he was in Kazakhstan...?
LOVE Konstantin's Breakfast Club! (And they all speak English! So cool.) You keep on doing the right thing for the right reason, and you're a uniter by nature. It warms my heart and makes me proud to "know" you. 🇺🇸🌴
Weir done Konstantine, such important networking support, the meeting of sane Russians.
It is SO GOOD to see you doing this! This is VERY therapeutic to do this! Thank you for sharing your life with us! Much 💜 & 🙏🏻❣️
Hey what’s up friends. I was part of this video also 😊 we used to sit outside but now that it got a little colder we have to be inside. Lots of great people come and it’s always interesting to hear other people stories so yeah.
Lovely people :)
Russian demographics implosion is the biggest threat to Russia. One or no kids. And now a war worsening the situation.
I’ve done my part, three blue eyed daughters :)
Great stream! Good to meet everyone! Best wishes for success in Uzbekistan!)
I am really shocked about some comments here. How can you not see that these people are also refugees? Just because one can afford a fried egg in a restaurant once in a while does not mean they are happy about leaving their home, family, career, culture and their whole life behind.
To me, one who leaves his home against their will to avoid being arrested or killed or being forced to kill is a refugee. Ukrainians might suffer a terrible life right now, but I certainly wouldn't want to carry the burden of the people in the video, despite coffee and sausage in a cozy place.
Wonderful people and purpose! Thanks for sharing!
Heart warming! Wonderful community supporting each other
Russian Breakfast Club - you are creating a valuable support system which will benefit many❤️
Thank you Joi. 29 real people so far
@Joi and they all seem to enJoi 😉 it so much. I would love to see more of this ❤️
@@prettylakeguy Carey, totally agree.
@@M.Ramakers lol enJoi 🤣
It’s so good that you socialize with others like yourself. They look like nice people who have one thing in common. My wish is that all of you find safety, security, happiness 😊and prosperity outside of Russia. 👍👊👫
That is Absolutely Cool!!! Great group of people and looks like fun... More videos like this are appreciated!!!
That’s wonderful to have a support group where everyone shares their stories and get Hope from each other. God bless them 🙏🏼🕊
This is awesome! I love it! We are 100% with you!
bullshit
looks like a holiday trip
they play their role as a victim very well
It’s all very tone deaf.
So good to see you all supporting each other. Keep it up
Inside Russia,
I’m a refugee from Laos to the USA 40 years ago. It was horrible to go through. You are an immigrant now and suffering but I’m sure not as bad as us and those Ukrainian. Putin will never ever bless by God. His life will end exactly like Hitler for the millions crimes he committed in Ukraine.
Hello Lee. You are absolutely right. I am not suffering as bad as Ukrainians are or you did. But I am suffering nevertheless. I have lost my home.
@@INSIDERUSSIA glad to see you are doing well brother. hope to see you post again sometime !
@@SinghCapital Thank you Raj! Post again sometimes? I post every day
@@INSIDERUSSIA Sorry brother, for some reason I didnt notice since UA-cam changed the interface. Your live videos were in a different section! I just noticed! I was checking the video section.
Fantastic idea , always good to have a community 🌻
This is the most positive video you have made in a long time. Well done. A small group, Im sure there are many many more who would love to get together
I think this was my favourite video of yours yet, Konstantin!
What a mentally and emotionally intelligent and socially uplifting idea to build this amazing support group!
Very well done‼️
I wish you all peace, success, better days ahead knowing you're not alone and years of friendship ahead that you may never have had in common otherwise!
Something good out of something bad! 👏👏👏🙏✝️💜🧡💛
So glad to see you all have a good time together.
I missed your recent streams since I started my new job recently. There's so much to learn about it and I'm too exhausted to deal with "SMO" or related topics lately. I'm so glad you found yourself a getaway. Best wishes from Germany. 😊
I still wonder what the real motives are for the Russians who fled abroad after the announcement of the mobilisation. Is it because they don't agree with Putin's policy, is it because they didn't want to be sent to Ukraine with guns, or is it just because of the personal risk of being injured or killed? I would assume the last point will be the biggest reason.
The case is different with the Russians who had to leave their country in the spring because they had problems with the police during demonstrations against the war. The reasons are clearer there.
Then I wonder how many FSB personnel were sent along? It is well known that the FSB is particularly keen to send its employees to foreign countries where large groups of Russians live. Sometimes there are dissidents among them and they have to be monitored, and it is also easier to organise pro-Putin demonstrations that way.
That's a pretty scary possibility...
Good that Natasha can now join you for the breakfast club you have created. Creating a network of like minded people is what is needed . You will be able to support each other in these difficult times .
I actually like Natasha and Zack its very clear where they stand 💙💛
@@julientihema8896 I wonder if you think I was referring to the other Natasha. I was actually referring to Konstantin's wife , now that she is in Uzbekistan 🙂 I have watched (the other) Natasha and Zack as well and it's good they also got out
Nice group. I wonder if Aida knows that the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi composed an Opera named Aida. It became his most performed Opera ever.
It's Great that So many of You meet and discuss, Chill, including Ukrainians, Help each other as I encourage networking for the Good of All! Such unstable times for You All, so sad that the poorer people cannot escape immobilisation and are forced to fight and die as fodder! Kids! My heart breaks for all! Ukraine did not ask for this! Only like minded people like Yourself and like minded Ukrainians can rebuild Russia and Ukraine independently to allow independent growth with respect for each other and improve the lives of all! X
Excellent vlog. Great to see you all together and supporting each other during this crisis 💪🏼🍽️🥞🍳👍
Personal decency at the breakfast table is a powerful force for good. Thank you for sharing. Humanity around the world is suffering for many reasons that are not all about military actions, so in my humble opinion it is of utmost importance for all of us to maintain human decency in history’s dark hours.
Beautiful and heartening to see. You are helping each other and that is what life is about. God Bless you all.
Congratulations on finding and contributing to a good support group. I hope it continues to flourish.
Great to get out and enjoy different surroundings, good for your mental health and your friends to meet!😊
Thanks for sharing Konstantin! Good to see the fellowship and support for each other...
Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your joy. Nice smile today Konstantin.
It looks like a very nice bunch of people to be around with. So glad to see you smile 👍
Nice to know you've found some fellowship in these difficult times.
I would love to visit Uzbekistan…I have neighbors from there in the US city I live in and have heard so many good things about their home country..
Thank you for sharing. Prayers for them all.
The food looks awesome! The group get together is a great idea. Nice way to network and socialize.
I wonder if there’s also Russian Breakfast Clubs in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, LA, DC, Chicago, Miami, Houston, etc.
Not sure. It was my idea and I went ahead and started inviting people
Yea it’s called Netcost Market in Philadelphia and Brooklyn NY
Wishing and praying that one day Russia will be a genuine republic and democracy led by wise leaders & politicians who have their best interest at heart, her people free to imagine, to live, to love & to dream and make their dreams come true and be able to live decently with all the amenities and comforts of modern life so those who want to come back will be back in a country at peace with herself & her neighbors, a fully functional and peaceful member amongst the family of nations and renouncing war once and for all as a means to solve problems.
Dude.... that guy is supporting Putin and invasion on Ukraine. He just doesn't want to be drafted. that's the problem with Russia. He gave the "Z" many supports
Yes, you always mention Breakfast Club, finally get to see what it looks like. Awesome!
Great to see you and your compatriots making lives for yourselves there. All the very best to you.
Your English vocabulary and accent is so good I forget that it is your second language. It must be comforting for you to have a chat in Russian every day.
His English is excellent. He lived in the US for about 10 years during his 20s. He talks about his life in the US in other videos.
Good on you mate, it's important to socialise a little for your spirit. Love from Australia
Konstantin - I'm so glad see you're back - Thought you had been apprehended and couldn't speak no more - But alas - I was wrong and I hope see more uploads from you.
What? Apprehended by who?
Kazakhstani People did not like the Russian Propaganda "Z".
I'm so glad you all are safe and not forced to fight in this horrible war.
You NEVER WALK ALONE Constantin ! ❤❤❤❤ Graet to see you and your friends ! From The Netherlands - With love 🤗🤗
I am so happy you have a group of friends. It is good to hear you own language & have things in common.
Thanks for the FIRST (haha) posting of the Russian Breakfast Club!
Ukrainians have breakfast in Kherson today.👍👍. Happy for you guys .Been in Russia two years served as conscript 1988-1990.
YOU must have quite a story to tell!
Thankyou for the breakfast club insight. I would love to join you all for a breakfast. Respect from Australia
Good morning Konstantin I like the idea of you Russian citizens meeting daily you can always support and exchange ideas now that's wonderful wishing you all my best wishes for returning to a safe and sane Russian
That are no Russians. They smile 😱😁 Just kidding. Thanks for showing us
Russians outside Russia smile you know :)
Hearing of the horrors in kherson at the hands of Russian soldiers not looking good.
Thank you for sharing your life and situation. I would love to get in contact and support you and your compatriots.
When you told that guy he wasn't smiling he made a face like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 😅 No hard feelings, was just the first thing that came to my mind.
Props to you for organizing this. I hope very much that by your arguments and your kind and empathetic aura you get some constructive discussion going in that group.
Russia has moved away from these people, and anyone with honesty and awareness.
Please give our love to all your friends and the wonderful people who run this cafe. We care about you and your country.
Morning Konstantin. I like the way you are helping people and I am following your work since the beginning, that's why I have need to say what I am about to say, because I notice you started doing it more often. Why do you bring religion to a table? Asking someone if he believes in God is actually really inappropriate, it is personal, you are putting someone in position to justify himself in either way. Like asking someone if he is gay or what sex position he/she prefers. As atheist, whenever asked I feel pressured to defend myself and my stance. It is not lightweight theme and brings conflict between people. Religion is separating peope not unifying. It's also a society control mechanism. Seneca: "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful".
You put a happy face on it, bit I think it's tragic. All good people whose lives have been needlessly uprooted. Good luck to all of you.
Здорово! 😍 Great! Greetings from Norway to the whole group!
HI Mr. K
The video put a smile on my face from beginning to end
Well done!
