I'm fucking dying 😂 at the guy who said you can install a NATO base right in his bathroom if you want, so long as his hot water isn't shut off every summer, and so long as he actually gets a pension
I hope Russian people understand that we Finns do not have any negative feelings against the Russian people, only to the regime of Russia. Me myself know a lot of Russian people that I have met on trips in Russia and you guys are awesome. Hope the Russian people feel the same about the Finnish people. All love and we will get through this.
Hello! I'm just casual person from Russia. I like you finns! I hope my country will correct himself and get rid of the imperial past. Can i have friendship with you? I want to have friends from entire world, and now when a lot my fellow citizens went crazy i want to have friend from abroad. How you look on that?
Fffuck.. Don't be silly.. You guys haaaaate Russians.. With no historical context.. Just they are "subhumans" in the eyes of your germanic oppressors.. And you are desiring to be seen as European.. After a long time of not being considered such by your old masters.. So you hate Russians.. It is pathological.. Not something you would admit to... Even privately.
I would say, that every intellectual person knows, that the Russians aren´t to blame. I often wonder, how we people - different nations - can support Russians to get rid of the Kremlin orcs. I imagine a future, where we all together (with Russians!!!) rebuilt the Ukraine. Feel free to call me a dreamer. I wish, we all would start a movement. The "special peace operation" :-) Greets from Germany.
Good to see the younger Russian crowd with brains in their heads who don't want war. Ooops, I mean special operation which is fast turning into a not very special operation.
The best part about this video is the future generation seem to have some sense. Thats hope and in times like this thats everything. I hope you get the country you deserve.
The young have experienced less propaganda (over less time) and also usually have some other means of accessing western news - so while still subject to those accumulated messages - they at least know they are being lied to by their government & media right now... Of course they still need to be circumspect in what they say here...
Sure, the younger generations always seem hopeful. But in the end, they too fear the threat of death for not kneeling to Putin. As long as the police and armed forces remain on the side of dictators, dictators will remain in power.
LOL, I was expecting this question would come up just about right now! Much love & respect to the guy at 2:32 with the dreadlocks and holding a dogleash! The world (especially the so-called "Russian World") needs more people like him: Just wholesome folks with humility and also a sense of humour. 😇
These are so interesting, I'm a finn but due to the language barrier & other things I never really knew what Russians think and actually, we are all the same. Just regular people trying to survive
Because western governments use a diet version of authoritarian propaganda to make the “other” bad. During the Iraq war, all Arab Muslims were demonised and western propaganda in movies, games and tv shows fuelled the stereotypes.
that's mostly true russians are similar. there are just 2 differences 1) massive propaganda trying to blame everything on " enemy from outside" = people are exposed to constant claims how NATO want invade russia 2) they dont understand freedom .... russians went from strict monarchy to strict communist dictatorship so they are used to obey , thats why they rarely protest and majority doesn't care about situation
@@bsbdptsd it means evil spirit, similar as god damn that is used in USA. Perkele was old Finnish god of thunder and it stuck in the language despite Christianity taking over.
These interviews continue to give me hope. They show that ordinary Russians are reasonable and decent human beings, who love peace and still have a good sense of humor. Thanks again for your excellent work!
Maybe you did not listen properly but around half of russians seem utterly ignorant of what another war in europe could mean for their lives or humanity. Its highly likely to end in NATO involvement and thus a nuclear battle becomes possible.
Yes, there are reasonable and decent human beings in Russia, however there's numerous problems: 1. They are a minority...as smart people always are in every country. 2. The majority is uneducated and full of frustration = easy pray for propaganda = brain washed 3. All of them have been "apoliticized" for all of their lives. Those who'd like to change things, are too afraid or demoralized already. So as much as I hope that these folks will make a change when it's needed most, I'm pretty sure they will just apathetically watch everything go to sh*t.
You got it all wrong. They are so detached from government, so a single man can ruin it for them. It happens now and can and will happen in the future as long as they maintain that coward way of thinking.
I'm a Finnish, currently living in Saint Petersburg as an exchange student. I haven't talked with a single person who supports "special operation". Also, everyone here is super nice to me. Next week I'm going to Moscow, hope to encounter one of these interviewers. 😄
Well I've seen plenty of interviews of people outside those two cities (neither of which seem to have committed troops btw) and there's a marked difference.
Reading this thread, how is it that 'everyone' in russia apparently is against genocide in Ukraine, and yet they sure filled that stadium to celebrate the first invasion of Ukraine 8 years ago? Lots of cheering people at the VE day celebration, and yet who is imposing their fascistic will on their neighbour through brutal military force at the moment? The sheer hypocrisy of russians is mind-blowing.
I worked in Russia for a summer as a chef, the people there were friendly and I have nothing against Russian people. I hope their government stops the war and we can start working on stabilizing relationships and trade soon, so us normal people can go on with our lives. Say no to war. From Finland
Well, people in Berlin in September 1939 were also very nice and friendly. Whole families were sunbathing, taking advatage of the last few weeks of summer. And they were all for peace of course.
What's tragic now is that most of these conscripts are not needed to win the war, but rather to test the will power of the West. Now it will become a war of attrition and will power. Putin is hoping to hold the territory, sacrificing these conscripts hoping that the West will lose the collective will to continue. The coming winter will be Napoleonic for Europe.
Often in these 1420 videos, people say “I don’t care, I’m apolitical, it’s not my business” Refreshing to see the people in this video speak openly, and be engaged with the reality of the questions being postured
Yes, i noticed that too a lot in the videos. I guess in my homeland Germany you wouldn't get a single answere like that. Whenever i talk with someone they always have a opinion.
I'm Russian. I was doing my exchange program in Sweden. So I spent there 4 months which were the best time of my life. I finished my exchange program this year in January and was crying when I left Umeå. I met A LOT OF amazing Swedish friends and we still keep in touch. Jag älskar dej 💛 I'm so sad that now the government system has issues with Sweden and Finland. Hope everything will be okay. Guys, don't hate us, we against the war and violence.
1:50 "Yes" "Why?" "Try something new" *5 minutes later* "Hello, my UA-cam friends and subscribers. Today we are doing the Invade Poland Challenge. BUT WAIT! That's not all! At the same time we are going to have a special operation in Japan and Greenland! SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON AND HIT SUBSCRIBE"
Being from Russia and having relatives on both sides of the conflict is, really hard. Sadly, I have relatives that are Azov and multiple in Russian Army. I live in the States now and am upset that both my brother and sister are dead because of this conflict. I really hope people realize Russians are not bad people neither, are Ukrainians. Maybe, different ideology and views but we are all people. Ukraine has been separate from Russia for thirty year and earned their independence. This Operation has killed many good people on both sides. This Operation became personal when my sister and brother died. Forgive me for my English, but I hope people understand I have no ill feeling towards anyone. Enough blood has been spilled on our soils. If old men running the country and world would fight their own wars there wouldn't be any. Why did my brother have to fight in conflict that he wanted no part of, or my sister who was victim from moving to Ukraine for work? This is war, not Operation. Regime needs to absolve.
I am sorry for you. Hopefully soon Putin will stop feeling entitled to neighboring lands and will cease wars/mass murders. Thought honestly I doubt it…Russia has no democracy, no right to complain/protest, and no end is in sight.
I am sorry for your loss. I am also sorry for the millions of Ukrainians whose lives have been turned into a living hell. At least you can sleep safely in your lovely warm bed. As I do. Spare a thought for many Ukrainians who cannot do this because of Russian bombs raining down on them.
Sorry for your loss! I don’t have anything against the 20% who do not support/apolitical against Putin. The other 80% I view as the real nazis and not the fictional Jewish Nazis Russia thinks rules Ukraine.
Tell me where to send support, financial or other, to the dude with the dreadlocks and nose ring. He's got my respect. He said what he wanted without saying too much that might get him "detained" for awhile and got his point across perfectly. Bravo to both him and the others who gave an opinion. I cannot criticize those, however, who won't talk or are afraid to as we don't know what their pasts include and their pasts, like any one of us, may influence just how far they are willing to go in discussing topics that could get them in big trouble.
Lol, he won't get arrested, you watched too many CNN props Unauthorized mass gathering protest will get him arrested in russia not having for street opinion
He's actually gotten to the root of the problem. Ultimately its domestic politics that people care about. You can scare people for a time by fabricating an external enemy like Ukranian Nazis or Nato. Eventually however people will get tired of being scared of NATO and they'll be more concerned with why there is no hot water in their house and that their pension isn't enough to live on.
The guy with dreads and I would probably be great friends if we met. He's got a great sense of humor and solid attitude and isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Some 1420 videos get some pretty pro-war, pro-Putin crazy Russians on, but this video gave me some hope that there's a lot of decent Russians out there. With the question not being directly about the war in Ukraine, I think more people felt they could safely and honestly answer.
All these wars often contain much dehumanizing of “the other side” by higher powers. Good on you for exposing people as… well… people. What you’re doing is far more important than you know. Hopefully your efforts will help clear certain biases and stereotypes that shouldn’t even have been there in the first place.
It is a beautiful question, because a special operation in Finland or Sweden is purely speculative and, as such, not such a sensitive topic. That said, nearly all of us can "hear" the interviewees thoughts as they recognize the similar absurdity of a fictitious special operation in Finland or Sweden and the abhorrent reality of the special operation in Ukraine.
There is no doubt any reasons for any military operations in Sweden or Finland. We obviously have good relatioships. But i doubt if Swedish of Finnish people may be involved in conflict in Ukraine if it would arise further, or in other Nato actions. What is your opinion about that?
Nearly all believe what Russsain State Television tells them to think, and if State TV wants more "special patriotic operations" they will fall in line as told
@@annycheerful Good questions, and I don't know the answers. I have read that both Finland and Sweden are providing humanitarian aid and weapons to Ukraine, but I don't know how much, and I don't know how far they would go, if the conflict in Ukraine escalates. It's also an intriguing idea to consider if Finland and/or Sweden would engage directly to defend a NATO country before they actually join NATO. It remains to be seen (but actually I hope never to find out), if NATO or CSTO would really react in unity if under attack by a serious opponent.
Russia can't even occupy Ukraine, how the hell do they think they are going to do anything in Finland or Sweden when they are still bogged down in Ukraine....
@@ericblackwell9254 Thank you for your answer. This is all sad, i mean, all this story from very beginning, from every side. Like a stupid movie with no good end...and i guess covid restrictions affected so much in a bad way :( we became disconnected so much :( so afraid and isolated of each other :(
@@chadgaston8615 а потом на фашистскую Германию... вы забыли об этом??? Может поэтому вы были нейтральными??? А теперь опять с фашистами дружите??? ua-cam.com/video/NKSbn6FNyQ4/v-deo.html.
I wonder if the young guys at 1:13 and 1:51 even realize how much death and suffering these special operations inflict on everyone. As a kid, at night, I used to be afraid of two things; all the volcanoes on the planet erupting at the same time, and Russia coming over the border to Finland, destroying our infrastructure and way of life. I have nothing against the Russian people by the way. But ignorance, greed and lack of empathy in individuals are intolerable in a world of 8 billion people.
@@tamitu9818 If your answer to whether to start a war is, "Dunno, might be fun actually." I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm, even if you technically can't tell
First guy says if necessary, so in that scenario Finland or Sweden (idk what Sweden’s gonna do🤷🏽♂️) did something to warrant military action. Now of course, I can’t guarantee you what this guy considers “necessary” to be reasonable, but also you can’t tell anyone that what he considers necessary is inadequate and would result in reason-less military action. There are always two options in a dispute, compromise or takeover. One is done by talking and negotiating, the other is done by killing and controlling. When two stubborn parties collide, the violent way is bound to rule. So I’d say you’re right about ignorance, greed and lack of empathy being the cause of most violent action, but claiming it to be intolerable is very idealistic to say the least.
@@blanco7726 well, yes, thank you :) haven't considered myself an idealist in a while. I think it's just a heightened sense of what is right. It was just my opinion, was not stating a fact there. Also, Finland would never start a feud with Russia. If there ever was fighting on finnish soil again, it would be out of fear and ignorance. And not through Finland's actions. I'm pretty certain we don't have to worry about that though. Hopefully in decades.
I’m a Finn and have some Russian friends. Our relationship hasn’t changed. As we could see in this interview, there are some stupid ones, some afraid ones and some very understanding ones. As in all countries. The problem is never the people. It’s always bad leadership. The Russian people has been misled and frankly lied to in decades. If you live in a country that feed you this propaganda year after year, it’s obvious it will affect your believes. Those fortunate to have internet and a possibility to search different news from around the world will know better. That’s a reminder to all of us. Never trust your own countries news as the absolute truth. That goes for me too. News from other countries can give you broader perspective and make you look from other angles. I recently found a very neutral and objective news channel. Gravitas from india. Superb good journalism. Greetings from Finland!
"Our relationship hasn't changed". Until they attack you. I assure you, when they attack, you personally will be ready to kill them all. Not even those fucking hipsters on video. Because then these mobilization hipsters will go to the front to kill you.
Well, I have a friend who lives in Sweden for many years and she stayed in your informational field for long time. Now we are arguing a lot and it looks like many things are hidden from you. I can tell you same thing about western media, that they are heavy propaganda. And it looks to me world likes to play childish games. E.g. who says "your media is propaganda" louder or more times, those are winners. Am I correct?
Made me laugh :D Here in Finland trying something new means getting a new haircut or buying different roast of coffee - not invading another neighboring country :D
These people DESERVE BETTER. ..at least the vast majority. And these two guys talking loosely about another Z operation, they should move their aces "down there" (on the map) to seek and find glory or death, if they're so fond of their dear leader's foreign policy.
Nah, it's always poor, stupid, evil or jealous people. Their situation is so bad they want everyone around them to suffer for at least a little bit. They can't even comprehend a simple fact. Those people they hate would overcome difficulties and move on, but those bad people don't and become even more bad.
This is a hugely interesting and more so informative channel, the one thing it tells me is Russians are welcome in Europe if they want to be once they have new leaders. Given their resources they should offer their citizens a very high standard of living.
@@blank_line I don't know, man. These big city, well educated, young people of Moscow don't seem to be representative for the majority of russians. Listend to the intercepted phone calls from the front line. People from rural areas think totally differently. That's where the support for the war is still strong and nationalism running high.
It doesn't even matter if there's a new leader here or not. The important question is what kind of leader he is and what kind of political program he has. For it may turn out that we are angry at Putin now, and later a person even worse than him will come.
Right, the Russian government sure loves to shake their fists at every other country they interact with. It's time they learn threats and violence is not the way to get your wish.
Despite the serious topic, i loved some of the young people's humorous sarcastic answers...kind of kicking the regimes politics from behind with black humour! I wish us all more peaceful times ahead!
I think I finally understand why people of Russia always seem so unconcerned with the actions of their government, distant even. Because they don't recognize it as *their* government. Deep down they regard it as an occupational forces. A foreign entity, a terrorist group that has forcefully taken the power and holds the entire country hostage. Even those who go out of their way to support every initiative of the government - I feel that they want to serve, to be useful to the power that can crush them in one go. When you're taken hostage, you do everything that the terrorist says, just to stay alive. When your country is under the foreign rule, you cooperate with the occupants, just to save yourself and your family. You may call it cowardice, but at least this explains this behaviour.
Yes that's right, I live in Russia and consider Putin our main enemy. His government is not ours. His actions are not ours. He's like an extraterrestrial in a human skin. Disgusting. Hope he's really ill as they say. Some Russian zombies think they get better off if they join the strong one. But truly patriotic folks are against any wars.
As a Russian, I will say that our people do not associate themselves with the government, rather because we have no influence on their decisions. And we never had. So, the government's decisions are perceived as weather disasters: You can waste time being angry, swearing, but in any case, you'll just have to adapt.
Yet over 70% of Russians voted to elect Putin as president, making him the most popular president in the world. And most also support this military operation. I think you just brainwashed, which is understandable after the Russian news channel RT got censored in the West, making you unable to see the Russian side of the story. Maybe you can invest in VPN in order to access outside information?
Russians have never had democracy, they have no free speech or even right to complain/protest. They aren’t willing to fight for this either so the world will be worse than it could be.
I think this kind of interviews are opening some eyes, incite people to think a bit deeper, what the *beep* is going on. Glad to see the majority being sane, without any propaganda inoculated. @1420, you are doing a great job, thank you and respect.

Very nice answers. I'm impressed by the maturity of some of the interviewees. Especially this phrase: "violence never seems to solve problems. It makes them worse, more complicated". Hatred feeds only hatred, in an endless circle. Who has lost a relative, a child, or a friend will try to find ways to fill the emptiness left in him. It takes an extreme courage not to search for revenge.
I think this might be the turning point for Russian thinking, many of the people seemed to already question the usefulness of a 'special operation' in general
Agree entirely. Young people do not care about geographical/geopolitical boundaries, what happened eons ago or who did what to whom. They want peace and have meaningful lives. ✌️
We Finnish people like the people in Russia. So no any hard feelings against you, and I know that my friends feels the same. I just hope that you would have the coverment you really deserve so that none of us need to be afraid of any war ever.
As russian, I really want liberal government that will be dependent on the opinions of people. I want a government that will maintain public order and nothing more. Russians are very independent. They don't need "Shepherd" like Putin, who will decide, what it is better for them - war or peace.
Thanks for the videos, I think they are so importante! :) I think its strange thought that so many dont see they are responsible for their politics and has to act personally.
The more videos from 1420, the more respect I get for the the russian people! Swedes have nothing against russian people, just leadership! Hope we solve this… Love from 🇸🇪
Oh, so you have seen ten nice guys and it has formed your opinion? Should thousands of dead Ukrainians watch it too? Thousands of injured? Thousands of handicap? Thousands that lost their loved ones? Millions that lost their homes? I guess they also will fall in love with russia after watching these ten nice guys, which are deffinetely not representative of the whole russia.
exactly. this looks like some sort of urban alternative folk they were interviewing. Go ask ordinary Russians watching propaganda 24/7, you might get some different answers
It’s heartening, I have to admit, to see so many Russians speak out in this interview against the idea of “special situations”. Unlike many previous interviews on this channel.
The Russian people intrigue me so much. Thanks, much love from Ohio,USA 🇺🇸 I hope one day we can all just get along and think of grandeur goals like.. galactic goals not just petty territorial battles. Much love my fellow humans.
Please don't start operations in Finland or Sweden 😅 😂 Nor anywhere else for that matter. Love from Finland to all good Russian people and thanks for the video.
I still don't understand why any Russian would worry about NATO, regardless of whether or not that person thinks its threatening. Russia has the most nuclear weapons active and deployed of any nation on earth, around 1600 so nobody can ever invade Russia. Its protected.
@@minerran our propaganda says the USA and NATO hate Russia, Russians and want to destroy our country. Sounds crazy. But some people actually believe that only in Russia there are moral values and other countries envy.

@@Psyriusmusic Then keep believing in Unicorns and Fairies. I, unlike you, use russian majority social media, I communicate with a lot of russians and I can confidently say that majority of them hate Ukraine and Ukrainians with passion. The statistics of public support is not that far away from truth.
That guy at 1:47 is welcome to try something new in Finland any time. And that´s not even new Soviet Union already tried it and it didn´t work that well. If Russia tried it now it would be WW3 for sure.
Can we all collectively agree as a human race .. No more special operations !? Peace and Love going forward. War needs to be left in the past along with the people who want and love it.
Well most would agree with that, however, war might not be so easy to leave in the past. Democracies still have to be able to protect themselves from radicals, like the Kremlin, CCP, theocrats, or any sort of radical authoritarian state. Even if every nation were to become a democracy and humanity united, it's not impossible that there could be totalitarian Imperialist alien civilizations out there, if there are, war is probably going to be a thing for a long time.
"I don't want this and what the authorities decide is none of my business'. Still can't wrap my head around the apathy toward their government driving them backwards. Though props to the folks that do get it and speak out against it
@ind0ctr1n3 whose fault it that? How did they get to a point where they are scared of the their own government. Apathy is a dictator/autocrats best friend.
The state spends about $2 billion a year just officially to make people not interested in politics. Unofficial, corrupt, expenses are several times higher, it seems to me. They achieved this result in about 20 years, and before that, 70 years of the Soviet Union. Between them, we had freedom of speech.
@ind0ctr1n3 Lol. There's a big difference between getting shot and getting arrested for 15 days. And I do know what I'm talking about :) And when your government starts the war that kills and cripples thousands, when hundreds of children and parents have to watch each other being raped, humiliated and shot, complaining about arrest is something to be ashamed of
Well to be fair you interviewed relatively intelligent city dwellers. If you asked the same question some where far away in the country side, I bet the answers would be a hell lot different.
I didn't expect the overwhelming majority of the people interviewed takin' the question seriously !.....if interviewed, I would have answered with a laugh !
I've no idea how you are getting away with making these videos in Russia at the moment, but I'm very glad that you are. They reveal an important truth to anyone who watches them. That we are all pretty much the same, concerned with what affects our and our loved ones lives far more than 'what our relationship with Russia/Finland/Sweden/Britain/USA are'. That our leaders obsession with the intentions of everyone elses leaders are not healthy for any of us. As those youngish men said, we're more concerned about hot water and Justin Beiber concerts. We should all try to live in that world, where problems are smallish and solvable. It would make things much nicer for everyone.
@ we are living in the world where companies can see our data, not only government. It is bad but it is our reality, sad but true. I dont care really, i am not politician, so ia doing nothing bad, and live with no fear.
As a Swede, we dont and never had a problem with russians. We have a problem with Putin. Remeber that the rus was scandinavian vikings, keivrus was founded by scandinavian vikings
It's sad that the world is so affected by the actions of just a few men (not just Russia). We should never leave so much power in the hands of so few with no checks and balances. These few men are harmful out of all proportion to the wishes of the people in this world.
Your videos make me respect the Russian people deeply. Most Russians are decent, intelligent and moral people. I hope they indicate a future peaceful Russia, solidly on the side of democracy and human rights vs. the trublion nation it has increasingly become under the current regime and its criminal leader. Russians and Russia deserve so much better but only they can choose their destiny.
So,if Russian people are amazing, why NATO wants to locate their missiles on Russian border?For killing them like it did before in different countries?
When you perceive a nation as very decent and moral simply because some of them (youngsters) don't admit an urge to attack another country in the middle of a war caused by their homeland, then your bar is super low;)

“What the authority decides is none of my business.” Shame to see this attitude so prevalent in Russia. Edit: maybe it’s not so prevalent. clearly there’s a ton of very intelligent passionate Russians. I just notice in every video I see a person make a statement like that. Love your videos! Thanks for uploading! Stay safe.
Our government are like occupants. They only care about themselves while robbing us of our resources, of our children. They are too strong and well armed for regular unarmed people to fight off, so a lot of ppl just choose to join the strong or become apathetic. Only some folks still fight. Who have enough money are running away from the country
I think it is often out of fear of the govt. So it's sort of a disclaimer to their opinion. Even more so with those who say they are not qualified to give an opinion. Getting in trouble for speaking out can be a real thing there, so it seems.

@@dagg65 I don't think so. They just don't care. Maybe because they think they can not make a difference. Lots of people around the world are like that, but I guess it is better than being all for the war just to be a patriot. Both are forms of sticking your head in the sand.
@@АлександрПаршаков-о6х. I do not speak or read Russian, for that I apologise. Why is Russia so worried about NATO? NATO is a completely DEFFENSIVE treaty. It is designed to provide mutual military aid ONLY when a member country is attacked. It cannot be used to support individual countries initiating a war. No support from NATO would be given to any individual country invading Russia. Only if a member country is invaded will NATO come to their aid. So if Russia does not invade a member of NATO, Russia has nothing to worry about. I repeat, NATO is a DEFENSIVE treaty, NOT an offensive treaty.
@@geoffhiggins742 NATO conducted military operations and bombed several countries. I can say that NATO is an aggressive bloc. NATO's main enemy is Russia. if Finland and Sweden join NATO, they will become our enemies
@@АлександрПаршаков-о6х you are wrong. NATO has never invaded another sovereign state. It has provided security to countries that have asked for help. It has policed certain sea areas to limit the actions of pirates. It has provided no fly airspace to stop Libyan aircraft bombing civilians. It tried to help the legitimate government in Afghanistan against the Taliban (and failed because the people of Afghanistan preferred the Taliban). At no time can NATO be accused of invasion. Russia on the other hand has recently invaded a neighboring country. If Russia stays within her own borders she has absolutely nothing to fear from NATO. Fear your own government instead, that would be a much more sensible thing for Russian people to do.
most people in the world just want peace and to be allowed to live their lives. It's too bad Putin places his ego and pages in the history books above the lives of others and his own people.
1420 is an excellent channel. Speaking as an old guy, well, 30+ years after the fall of the Berlin Wall / Iron Curtain and the USSR and until two months ago: - Former Soviet block countries (mostly) and Russia elected democratic governments - Former Soviet block countries (mostly) and Russia enjoy freedoms of press, assembly, speech - Former Soviet clock countries (mostly) and Russia enjoy vastly improved economic conditions from Soviet days - NATO did not threaten Russia one inch Now, thanks to their leader and his small ring of sycophants: - Worst death to civilians and young soldiers since WWII / Stalin - Russian citizens often now give guarded answers for fear of imprisonment - Russian free press is eliminated - Russia faces unprecedented sanctions from nearly every country - Russia has lost most customers for its products - NATO has expanded based on fear of further Russian invasions of free countries
And on the other hand, with an open and free system and scrupulous rule of law, Russia would invade Europe…by purchasing it with the immense riches they would soon have. Russia is poised to be an wild success, wealthier than Germany maybe, but is held back by its system of government. I worry that they (generally) are born to be ruled, preferring to live under a strict 'dad' instead of being adults.
@@strmbambam NATO wouldn't have to lift a finger if Russia/USSR kept it's peepee in it's pants and stopped attempting to conquer it's neighbours every 5 minutes.
It would be interesting to know how many people were asked at all, and how many of them refused to comment or to be filmed. As in, did the percentage of people who agreed to answer increase over the past couple of weeks, or stay largely the same?
You have to realize that this youtube channel is still atleast partially bound by the Russian governments interests, even if its allowed to exist without restrictions it is still in Russias best interest to make these videos as positive towards the general Russian peoples as possible. And therefore its also important for the creators of this channel to maintain that perspective, regardless of the interviews being genuine or not. Peace
Agreed. Clips are fantastic of course, and 1420 does them really well, but let's have stats too. Without stats it's like knowing only that "There's money in my wallet." Ok, there's money…but how much money? Five dollars is money.

BREAKING NEWS: Finnish Parliament has voted for joining NATO alliance; Out of 200: 188 for joining, 8 against (Edit) BREAKING NEWS: The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Finland has just signed the Finland´s application to join in NATO.
Now Pootin said he has no problem with them joining NATO, only with new bases in their countries. They've already said that like Norway, there will be no NATO bases and no nukes in their territory. So Pootin's empty threats and then roll backs again. Pitiful.

Russia works this way - there is genius, idiots, maniacs and demoralised masses.. The genius creates.. So we get classical music or science or advanced rockets and pioneering space.. The maniacs plot and steal and scheme so you get kgb, nkvd, gru, ect ect and oppression and fear, brutality, the idiots shout and bellow at things that confuse them.. They can rally a mob and burn a man for thinking to much or loot some Palace of the maniacs of its gold and gems.. But they cannot organise and soon fall back to drinking in their filthy huts.. And then there is the oppressed masses who inside yearn for civility but with such companions they cannot quite touch it... The genius Russians never can have power.. Because they are ernest in their persutes of science or art or such.. So it's left to the fools and the maniacs... Or genius maniacs... Even worse.. Or maniac fools.. Also dastardly.. And the apathetic ones.. They can NEVER have power. A strong maniac would just strike them down "SILENCE SHEEP!" such is Russians lot... Being attacked continuously by surrounding countries for many centuries made it so.. Reasonable people were rushed, carried off, sold by invaders, killed.. Maniacs fought tooth and nail like animals.. And fools followed them of the edge into oblivion many times.. So Russia is a product of such pressure.. "evolution" so to say.. The mest example of Russian madness is the ussr.. Its just the way Russia is.. Hard to change.

I would say, that every intellectual person knows, that the Russians aren´t to blame. I often wonder, how we people - different nations - can support Russians to get rid of the Kremlin orcs. I imagine a future, where we all together (with Russians!!!) rebuilt the Ukraine. Feel free to call me a dreamer. I wish, we all would start a movement. The "special peace operation" :-) Greets from Germany.

Of course they still need to be circumspect in what they say here...
Check out the other videos on the channel. Your hope in future generations of Russians will quickly vanish.
@@WangMingGe lmao true. This seemed like a pretty advanced part of Russia where young people are more or less intelligent
Sure, the younger generations always seem hopeful. But in the end, they too fear the threat of death for not kneeling to Putin. As long as the police and armed forces remain on the side of dictators, dictators will remain in power.
LOL, I was expecting this question would come up just about right now! Much love & respect to the guy at 2:32 with the dreadlocks and holding a dogleash! The world (especially the so-called "Russian World") needs more people like him: Just wholesome folks with humility and also a sense of humour. 😇

These are so interesting, I'm a finn but due to the language barrier & other things I never really knew what Russians think and actually, we are all the same. Just regular people trying to survive
Because western governments use a diet version of authoritarian propaganda to make the “other” bad. During the Iraq war, all Arab Muslims were demonised and western propaganda in movies, games and tv shows fuelled the stereotypes.
I often watch show called "dudesons" where they use word "perkele". What does that mean?
that's mostly true russians are similar.
there are just 2 differences
1) massive propaganda trying to blame everything on " enemy from outside" = people are exposed to constant claims how NATO want invade russia
2) they dont understand freedom .... russians went from strict monarchy to strict communist dictatorship
so they are used to obey , thats why they rarely protest and majority doesn't care about situation
@@bsbdptsd it means evil spirit, similar as god damn that is used in USA. Perkele was old Finnish god of thunder and it stuck in the language despite Christianity taking over.

These interviews continue to give me hope. They show that ordinary Russians are reasonable and decent human beings, who love peace and still have a good sense of humor. Thanks again for your excellent work!
The butchers and rapists of Bucha were "ordinary russians. Putin wasn't there.
Maybe you did not listen properly but around half of russians seem utterly ignorant of what another war in europe could mean for their lives or humanity.
Its highly likely to end in NATO involvement and thus a nuclear battle becomes possible.
DITTO
Yes, there are reasonable and decent human beings in Russia, however there's numerous problems:
1. They are a minority...as smart people always are in every country.
2. The majority is uneducated and full of frustration = easy pray for propaganda = brain washed
3. All of them have been "apoliticized" for all of their lives. Those who'd like to change things, are too afraid or demoralized already.
So as much as I hope that these folks will make a change when it's needed most, I'm pretty sure they will just apathetically watch everything go to sh*t.
You got it all wrong. They are so detached from government, so a single man can ruin it for them. It happens now and can and will happen in the future as long as they maintain that coward way of thinking.

Reading this thread, how is it that 'everyone' in russia apparently is against genocide in Ukraine, and yet they sure filled that stadium to celebrate the first invasion of Ukraine 8 years ago? Lots of cheering people at the VE day celebration, and yet who is imposing their fascistic will on their neighbour through brutal military force at the moment? The sheer hypocrisy of russians is mind-blowing.
I worked in Russia for a summer as a chef, the people there were friendly and I have nothing against Russian people. I hope their government stops the war and we can start working on stabilizing relationships and trade soon, so us normal people can go on with our lives. Say no to war. From Finland

@Maxim Lehmann bullshit
@Maxim Lehmann I'm sorry you feel that way.
Well, people in Berlin in September 1939 were also very nice and friendly. Whole families were sunbathing, taking advatage of the last few weeks of summer. And they were all for peace of course.
@Maxim Lehmann Ukraine is not a Natomember. It does not even meet the natocriteria. So your comment was really stupid.
So tragic to see so many young men unaware just how close they are to being conscripted into the army by a madman.
Ouch, this did not age well.
Well....
Good call
Jeez, you really shouldn't have given pootin that idea!😬
What's tragic now is that most of these conscripts are not needed to win the war, but rather to test the will power of the West. Now it will become a war of attrition and will power. Putin is hoping to hold the territory, sacrificing these conscripts hoping that the West will lose the collective will to continue. The coming winter will be Napoleonic for Europe.

Being from Russia and having relatives on both sides of the conflict is, really hard. Sadly, I have relatives that are Azov and multiple in Russian Army. I live in the States now and am upset that both my brother and sister are dead because of this conflict. I really hope people realize Russians are not bad people neither, are Ukrainians. Maybe, different ideology and views but we are all people. Ukraine has been separate from Russia for thirty year and earned their independence. This Operation has killed many good people on both sides. This Operation became personal when my sister and brother died. Forgive me for my English, but I hope people understand I have no ill feeling towards anyone. Enough blood has been spilled on our soils. If old men running the country and world would fight their own wars there wouldn't be any. Why did my brother have to fight in conflict that he wanted no part of, or my sister who was victim from moving to Ukraine for work? This is war, not Operation. Regime needs to absolve.
I am very sorry to know of your losses; I hope for peace soon.
I am sorry for you. Hopefully soon Putin will stop feeling entitled to neighboring lands and will cease wars/mass murders. Thought honestly I doubt it…Russia has no democracy, no right to complain/protest, and no end is in sight.
I am sorry for your loss. I am also sorry for the millions of Ukrainians whose lives have been turned into a living hell. At least you can sleep safely in your lovely warm bed. As I do. Spare a thought for many Ukrainians who cannot do this because of Russian bombs raining down on them.
I am very sorry for your loss, that is devastating. 😢
Sorry for your loss! I don’t have anything against the 20% who do not support/apolitical against Putin. The other 80% I view as the real nazis and not the fictional Jewish Nazis Russia thinks rules Ukraine.
Tell me where to send support, financial or other, to the dude with the dreadlocks and nose ring. He's got my respect. He said what he wanted without saying too much that might get him "detained" for awhile and got his point across perfectly. Bravo to both him and the others who gave an opinion. I cannot criticize those, however, who won't talk or are afraid to as we don't know what their pasts include and their pasts, like any one of us, may influence just how far they are willing to go in discussing topics that could get them in big trouble.

He's actually gotten to the root of the problem. Ultimately its domestic politics that people care about. You can scare people for a time by fabricating an external enemy like Ukranian Nazis or Nato. Eventually however people will get tired of being scared of NATO and they'll be more concerned with why there is no hot water in their house and that their pension isn't enough to live on.

The guy with dreads and I would probably be great friends if we met. He's got a great sense of humor and solid attitude and isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Some 1420 videos get some pretty pro-war, pro-Putin crazy Russians on, but this video gave me some hope that there's a lot of decent Russians out there. With the question not being directly about the war in Ukraine, I think more people felt they could safely and honestly answer.
One-sided coverage is problematic either way. Whether you agree with them or not.
At least that's what I think...
Pay less attention for what he's saying, more what he's doing.
Hitler also considered people who disagreed with his opinions terrible and vile.

timestamp?
Glad to see that several of the interviewees saw the humor in the question.
All these wars often contain much dehumanizing of “the other side” by higher powers. Good on you for exposing people as… well… people.
What you’re doing is far more important than you know. Hopefully your efforts will help clear certain biases and stereotypes that shouldn’t even have been there in the first place.
It is a beautiful question, because a special operation in Finland or Sweden is purely speculative and, as such, not such a sensitive topic. That said, nearly all of us can "hear" the interviewees thoughts as they recognize the similar absurdity of a fictitious special operation in Finland or Sweden and the abhorrent reality of the special operation in Ukraine.
There is no doubt any reasons for any military operations in Sweden or Finland. We obviously have good relatioships. But i doubt if Swedish of Finnish people may be involved in conflict in Ukraine if it would arise further, or in other Nato actions. What is your opinion about that?
Nearly all believe what Russsain State Television tells them to think, and if State TV wants more "special patriotic operations" they will fall in line as told
@@annycheerful Good questions, and I don't know the answers. I have read that both Finland and Sweden are providing humanitarian aid and weapons to Ukraine, but I don't know how much, and I don't know how far they would go, if the conflict in Ukraine escalates. It's also an intriguing idea to consider if Finland and/or Sweden would engage directly to defend a NATO country before they actually join NATO. It remains to be seen (but actually I hope never to find out), if NATO or CSTO would really react in unity if under attack by a serious opponent.
Russia can't even occupy Ukraine, how the hell do they think they are going to do anything in Finland or Sweden when they are still bogged down in Ukraine....

@@tamitu9818 If your answer to whether to start a war is, "Dunno, might be fun actually." I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm, even if you technically can't tell
First guy says if necessary, so in that scenario Finland or Sweden (idk what Sweden’s gonna do🤷🏽♂️) did something to warrant military action. Now of course, I can’t guarantee you what this guy considers “necessary” to be reasonable, but also you can’t tell anyone that what he considers necessary is inadequate and would result in reason-less military action.
There are always two options in a dispute, compromise or takeover. One is done by talking and negotiating, the other is done by killing and controlling. When two stubborn parties collide, the violent way is bound to rule. So I’d say you’re right about ignorance, greed and lack of empathy being the cause of most violent action, but claiming it to be intolerable is very idealistic to say the least.
@@blanco7726 well, yes, thank you :) haven't considered myself an idealist in a while. I think it's just a heightened sense of what is right. It was just my opinion, was not stating a fact there.
Also, Finland would never start a feud with Russia. If there ever was fighting on finnish soil again, it would be out of fear and ignorance. And not through Finland's actions.

I’m a Finn and have some Russian friends. Our relationship hasn’t changed. As we could see in this interview, there are some stupid ones, some afraid ones and some very understanding ones. As in all countries. The problem is never the people. It’s always bad leadership.
The Russian people has been misled and frankly lied to in decades. If you live in a country that feed you this propaganda year after year, it’s obvious it will affect your believes. Those fortunate to have internet and a possibility to search different news from around the world will know better.
That’s a reminder to all of us. Never trust your own countries news as the absolute truth. That goes for me too. News from other countries can give you broader perspective and make you look from other angles. I recently found a very neutral and objective news channel. Gravitas from india. Superb good journalism.

"Our relationship hasn't changed". Until they attack you. I assure you, when they attack, you personally will be ready to kill them all. Not even those fucking hipsters on video. Because then these mobilization hipsters will go to the front to kill you.

Actually I don't think that for Russia joining Europe is a good idea.
It doesn't even matter if there's a new leader here or not. The important question is what kind of leader he is and what kind of political program he has. For it may turn out that we are angry at Putin now, and later a person even worse than him will come.

That Russia was "threatened" in any way was just propaganda btw to get public support for the war.

I think I finally understand why people of Russia always seem so unconcerned with the actions of their government, distant even.
Because they don't recognize it as *their* government.
Deep down they regard it as an occupational forces. A foreign entity, a terrorist group that has forcefully taken the power and holds the entire country hostage.
Even those who go out of their way to support every initiative of the government - I feel that they want to serve, to be useful to the power that can crush them in one go.
When you're taken hostage, you do everything that the terrorist says, just to stay alive. When your country is under the foreign rule, you cooperate with the occupants, just to save yourself and your family.
You may call it cowardice, but at least this explains this behaviour.
Yes that's right, I live in Russia and consider Putin our main enemy. His government is not ours. His actions are not ours. He's like an extraterrestrial in a human skin. Disgusting. Hope he's really ill as they say.
Some Russian zombies think they get better off if they join the strong one. But truly patriotic folks are against any wars.
As a Russian, I will say that our people do not associate themselves with the government, rather because we have no influence on their decisions. And we never had. So, the government's decisions are perceived as weather disasters: You can waste time being angry, swearing, but in any case, you'll just have to adapt.
nice try, ukrainean with fresh agenda from british psy op's
Yet over 70% of Russians voted to elect Putin as president, making him the most popular president in the world. And most also support this military operation.
I think you just brainwashed, which is understandable after the Russian news channel RT got censored in the West, making you unable to see the Russian side of the story. Maybe you can invest in VPN in order to access outside information?
Russians have never had democracy, they have no free speech or even right to complain/protest. They aren’t willing to fight for this either so the world will be worse than it could be.

Parerea mea.
Very nice answers. I'm impressed by the maturity of some of the interviewees.
Especially this phrase: "violence never seems to solve problems. It makes them worse, more complicated".
Hatred feeds only hatred, in an endless circle.
Who has lost a relative, a child, or a friend will try to find ways to fill the emptiness left in him. It takes an extreme courage not to search for revenge.
My man’s answered the question “to try something new” as if the question was “why would you try chocolate ice cream over vanilla?” Crazy.
I think this might be the turning point for Russian thinking, many of the people seemed to already question the usefulness of a 'special operation' in general
Agree entirely. Young people do not care about geographical/geopolitical boundaries, what happened eons ago or who did what to whom. They want peace and have meaningful lives. ✌️
@@marikalathem813 but they will go and vote putin anyway so it doesnt matter
@@alanea5860 there's no free voting in Russia, the government just draw the numbers they like. Don't know anybody who ever voted for Putin.
This is urban ppl, Russia is big
Doesn't matter what you think, only actions count since the elections are rigged
Basic fact: average citizens don’t care about politics unless it affects them directly. Most people just want to survive/enjoy life.
We Finnish people like the people in Russia. So no any hard feelings against you, and I know that my friends feels the same. I just hope that you would have the coverment you really deserve so that none of us need to be afraid of any war ever.
thank you!! to the marketplace with this comment - t. just one finnish dude
well, we were same people of Russia together for a while. Glad you are not big enougnt to have our problems with rulers, huh
@HonsuAman : we both know why Finland applied to NATO with Sweden...
As russian, I really want liberal government that will be dependent on the opinions of people. I want a government that will maintain public order and nothing more. Russians are very independent. They don't need "Shepherd" like Putin, who will decide, what it is better for them - war or peace.
@HonsuAman : we left the theoretical part when Russia started "special operation". Do you think that it's just a casual thing to do?
Thanks for the videos, I think they are so importante! :) I think its strange thought that so many dont see they are responsible for their politics and has to act personally.
Great question. Such bright and wonderful people. They truly deserve a better government.
Really? I don't think they deserve it as long as they don't speak up.
they clearly don't believe they do.
Lol some of them are politically illiterate
You get the government you deserve, the one they deserve is the one they have
West already brought us "better" government in 90s, so please never again.
The more videos from 1420, the more respect I get for the the russian people! Swedes have nothing against russian people, just leadership! Hope we solve this… Love from 🇸🇪
Exactly right, there seems to be a lot of well informed, considerate people in these videos. 😁
Love from Ru ❤️

Unfortunately, this is just a sample of young generation.
Oh, so you have seen ten nice guys and it has formed your opinion? Should thousands of dead Ukrainians watch it too? Thousands of injured? Thousands of handicap? Thousands that lost their loved ones? Millions that lost their homes? I guess they also will fall in love with russia after watching these ten nice guys, which are deffinetely not representative of the whole russia.
It would be interesting to hear these questions asked in small and medium sized cities.
@Global Ez that's a good question to russians the invasion of czechoslovakia, Afghanistan, and current russian forces in Syria and Ukraine. Hm..
exactly. this looks like some sort of urban alternative folk they were interviewing. Go ask ordinary Russians watching propaganda 24/7, you might get some different answers
After following your channel for a while now, looks like attitudes are finally changing. Thank God.
It’s heartening, I have to admit, to see so many Russians speak out in this interview against the idea of “special situations”. Unlike many previous interviews on this channel.
The Russian people intrigue me so much. Thanks, much love from Ohio,USA 🇺🇸 I hope one day we can all just get along and think of grandeur goals like.. galactic goals not just petty territorial battles. Much love my fellow humans.

I still don't understand why any Russian would worry about NATO, regardless of whether or not that person thinks its threatening. Russia has the most nuclear weapons active and deployed of any nation on earth, around 1600 so nobody can ever invade Russia. Its protected.
@@minerran our propaganda says the USA and NATO hate Russia, Russians and want to destroy our country.

You are doing great work! Thanks from sweden!
Please do a video specifically about what Russians think of Sweden, would be really interesting to hear, as a Swede..
That guy at 1:47 is welcome to try something new in Finland any time. And that´s not even new Soviet Union already tried it and it didn´t work that well. If Russia tried it now it would be WW3 for sure.
If he wants to try something new...let him go to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and try it out instead of his cushy life now
Can we all collectively agree as a human race .. No more special operations !? Peace and Love going forward. War needs to be left in the past along with the people who want and love it.
No. If you cross the line we will destroy you. Violence will be met with violence. We learned from hitler, never again! 🇺🇦
Well most would agree with that, however, war might not be so easy to leave in the past. Democracies still have to be able to protect themselves from radicals, like the Kremlin, CCP, theocrats, or any sort of radical authoritarian state. Even if every nation were to become a democracy and humanity united, it's not impossible that there could be totalitarian Imperialist alien civilizations out there, if there are, war is probably going to be a thing for a long time.
"I don't want this and what the authorities decide is none of my business'. Still can't wrap my head around the apathy toward their government driving them backwards. Though props to the folks that do get it and speak out against it
The gene pool of the non-apathic russians was largely destroyed by Stalin purges and before that, by the tzars.
@ind0ctr1n3 whose fault it that? How did they get to a point where they are scared of the their own government.
Apathy is a dictator/autocrats best friend.
@ind0ctr1n3 It's not how it is in Russia ffs
The state spends about $2 billion a year just officially to make people not interested in politics. Unofficial, corrupt, expenses are several times higher, it seems to me. They achieved this result in about 20 years, and before that, 70 years of the Soviet Union. Between them, we had freedom of speech.
@ind0ctr1n3 Lol. There's a big difference between getting shot and getting arrested for 15 days. And I do know what I'm talking about :) And when your government starts the war that kills and cripples thousands, when hundreds of children and parents have to watch each other being raped, humiliated and shot, complaining about arrest is something to be ashamed of
Well to be fair you interviewed relatively intelligent city dwellers. If you asked the same question some where far away in the country side, I bet the answers would be a hell lot different.
I didn't expect the overwhelming majority of the people interviewed takin' the question seriously !.....if interviewed, I would have answered with a laugh !
I've no idea how you are getting away with making these videos in Russia at the moment, but I'm very glad that you are. They reveal an important truth to anyone who watches them. That we are all pretty much the same, concerned with what affects our and our loved ones lives far more than 'what our relationship with Russia/Finland/Sweden/Britain/USA are'. That our leaders obsession with the intentions of everyone elses leaders are not healthy for any of us. As those youngish men said, we're more concerned about hot water and Justin Beiber concerts. We should all try to live in that world, where problems are smallish and solvable. It would make things much nicer for everyone.
Man i live here and we can easily talk about these topics. But if u are polititian, it is hard. We are not North Korea🇰🇷
@ you know it better then me, yeap.
@ of course, tell me why you know that?
@ we are living in the world where companies can see our data, not only government. It is bad but it is our reality, sad but true. I dont care really, i am not politician, so ia doing nothing bad, and live with no fear.
I think the Justin Bieber part was sacrcasm
As a Swede, we dont and never had a problem with russians.
We have a problem with Putin.
Remeber that the rus was scandinavian vikings, keivrus was founded by scandinavian vikings
Russia was not founded by Vikings from Scandinavia, it was rather united by them.
They weren't Scandinavian vikings, they were only united by the Scandinavians.
If you now say you are a swede and not a russian, i think this should be a reason for a special operation because of your nationalism.
It's sad that the world is so affected by the actions of just a few men (not just Russia). We should never leave so much power in the hands of so few with no checks and balances. These few men are harmful out of all proportion to the wishes of the people in this world.
Kievian Rus is a fake. Don't say this bullshit.
2:37 "Can I have a NATO base installed right in my house, please?" Priceless!
Your videos make me respect the Russian people deeply. Most Russians are decent, intelligent and moral people. I hope they indicate a future peaceful Russia, solidly on the side of democracy and human rights vs. the trublion nation it has increasingly become under the current regime and its criminal leader. Russians and Russia deserve so much better but only they can choose their destiny.
мы стали лучше жить чем в 90 и начале 00, так что всё нормально.
These are city russians i imagine further away from the main cities many people would have a very different opinion
So,if Russian people are amazing, why NATO wants to locate their missiles on Russian border?For killing them like it did before in different countries?
When you perceive a nation as very decent and moral simply because some of them (youngsters) don't admit an urge to attack another country in the middle of a war caused by their homeland, then your bar is super low;)
@@urszulawrona6049 fair point, though this isn't meant to be a scientific poll, just a provocative question for people who _agree to participate_ 🤷♀️ Consider, also, the history of USSR and Finland that none of them seem to be bringing up... 🙄
We live on One planet, the only planet where life exist. Humanity needs to learn how to respekt each other and live in peace. How hard can it be for politicians to understand? We want a living peaceful planet.
“What the authority decides is none of my business.” Shame to see this attitude so prevalent in Russia.
Edit: maybe it’s not so prevalent. clearly there’s a ton of very intelligent passionate Russians. I just notice in every video I see a person make a statement like that. Love your videos! Thanks for uploading! Stay safe.
I personally know 2 people who say that and both of them went through.... a lot. I would react the same as you did if I wasn't told about their past
Our government are like occupants. They only care about themselves while robbing us of our resources, of our children. They are too strong and well armed for regular unarmed people to fight off, so a lot of ppl just choose to join the strong or become apathetic. Only some folks still fight. Who have enough money are running away from the country
That is how lack of free speech looks like. Speaking against the regime can land them in prison.
I think the reason of this is because they simply can't do anything so they are detached and don't care because the don't have any kind of power
I think it is often out of fear of the govt. So it's sort of a disclaimer to their opinion. Even more so with those who say they are not qualified to give an opinion. Getting in trouble for speaking out can be a real thing there, so it seems.
One of the things I love about this channel is how it highlights the Russain sense of humor. You guys are funny as f**k. Full of humor and sarcasm, very down to earth people. Love from Kenya
Another great question & answer video. I can see Russian youth know truth. Change will come with young people improving Russia-freedom of rights.
1:50 "We should start a new war." / "Why?" / "Gee, I dunno, I'm kind of bored..."

It’s good to see that young Russians are no different to young people in other countries. They don’t want war, just peace and cooperation
Too many of them are indifferent and let awful things happen in their name.
@@chinarello2928 I believe they want to take a stand against the war but the risk of punishment is too high
@@dagg65 I don't think so. They just don't care. Maybe because they think they can not make a difference. Lots of people around the world are like that, but I guess it is better than being all for the war just to be a patriot. Both are forms of sticking your head in the sand.
Very intelligent answers.
As a Finn I just want to live in peace with all our neighbors. And absolutely nobody should want a nuclear war.
Зачем ваша страна вступает в НАТО? Россия не представляет угрозы для финнов, но после вступления- будет
@@АлександрПаршаков-о6х. I do not speak or read Russian, for that I apologise. Why is Russia so worried about NATO? NATO is a completely DEFFENSIVE treaty. It is designed to provide mutual military aid ONLY when a member country is attacked. It cannot be used to support individual countries initiating a war. No support from NATO would be given to any individual country invading Russia. Only if a member country is invaded will NATO come to their aid. So if Russia does not invade a member of NATO, Russia has nothing to worry about. I repeat, NATO is a DEFENSIVE treaty, NOT an offensive treaty.
@@geoffhiggins742 NATO conducted military operations and bombed several countries. I can say that NATO is an aggressive bloc. NATO's main enemy is Russia. if Finland and Sweden join NATO, they will become our enemies
@@АлександрПаршаков-о6х you are wrong. NATO has never invaded another sovereign state. It has provided security to countries that have asked for help. It has policed certain sea areas to limit the actions of pirates. It has provided no fly airspace to stop Libyan aircraft bombing civilians. It tried to help the legitimate government in Afghanistan against the Taliban (and failed because the people of Afghanistan preferred the Taliban). At no time can NATO be accused of invasion. Russia on the other hand has recently invaded a neighboring country. If Russia stays within her own borders she has absolutely nothing to fear from NATO. Fear your own government instead, that would be a much more sensible thing for Russian people to do.
@@АлександрПаршаков-о6х I am an English man, the United Kingdom is a member of NATO. This does not make me consider you my enemy.
There is some hope in the younger generation! Thanks
Many good people here

most people in the world just want peace and to be allowed to live their lives. It's too bad Putin places his ego and pages in the history books above the lives of others and his own people.
England and the USA are doing everything to prevent peace
Really valuable videos, thank you.
1420 is an excellent channel. Speaking as an old guy, well, 30+ years after the fall of the Berlin Wall / Iron Curtain and the USSR and until two months ago:
- Former Soviet block countries (mostly) and Russia elected democratic governments
- Former Soviet block countries (mostly) and Russia enjoy freedoms of press, assembly, speech
- Former Soviet clock countries (mostly) and Russia enjoy vastly improved economic conditions from Soviet days
- NATO did not threaten Russia one inch
Now, thanks to their leader and his small ring of sycophants:
- Worst death to civilians and young soldiers since WWII / Stalin
- Russian citizens often now give guarded answers for fear of imprisonment
- Russian free press is eliminated
- Russia faces unprecedented sanctions from nearly every country
- Russia has lost most customers for its products
- NATO has expanded based on fear of further Russian invasions of free countries
pretty much sums it up 👍
абсолютная ахинея. ну и срань же у вас в головах. а самое главное ведь верят что правы, такое полотно выкатил
NATO did not threaten Russia? yes you lie
And on the other hand, with an open and free system and scrupulous rule of law, Russia would invade Europe…by purchasing it with the immense riches they would soon have. Russia is poised to be an wild success, wealthier than Germany maybe, but is held back by its system of government. I worry that they (generally) are born to be ruled, preferring to live under a strict 'dad' instead of being adults.
@@strmbambam NATO wouldn't have to lift a finger if Russia/USSR kept it's peepee in it's pants and stopped attempting to conquer it's neighbours every 5 minutes.
It would be interesting to know how many people were asked at all, and how many of them refused to comment or to be filmed.
As in, did the percentage of people who agreed to answer increase over the past couple of weeks, or stay largely the same?
You have to realize that this youtube channel is still atleast partially bound by the Russian governments interests, even if its allowed to exist without restrictions it is still in Russias best interest to make these videos as positive towards the general Russian peoples as possible.
And therefore its also important for the creators of this channel to maintain that perspective, regardless of the interviews being genuine or not.
Peace
Agreed. Clips are fantastic of course, and 1420 does them really well, but let's have stats too.
Without stats it's like knowing only that "There's money in my wallet." Ok, there's money…but how much money? Five dollars is money.
You can check another surveys, on the channel "Максим Кац" for example. Many people just don't answer
@@BigBodyBiggolo how would you know that? english-speaking channels on Russian topics stay mostly under the radar, and this one in particular isn't bound by anything. stop saying nonsense if you have no idea

The maniacs plot and steal and scheme so you get kgb, nkvd, gru, ect ect and oppression and fear, brutality, the idiots shout and bellow at things that confuse them.. They can rally a mob and burn a man for thinking to much or loot some Palace of the maniacs of its gold and gems.. But they cannot organise and soon fall back to drinking in their filthy huts.. And then there is the oppressed masses who inside yearn for civility but with such companions they cannot quite touch it... The genius Russians never can have power.. Because they are ernest in their persutes of science or art or such.. So it's left to the fools and the maniacs... Or genius maniacs... Even worse.. Or maniac fools.. Also dastardly.. And the apathetic ones.. They can NEVER have power. A strong maniac would just strike them down "SILENCE SHEEP!" such is Russians lot... Being attacked continuously by surrounding countries for many centuries made it so.. Reasonable people were rushed, carried off, sold by invaders, killed.. Maniacs fought tooth and nail like animals.. And fools followed them of the edge into oblivion many times.. So Russia is a product of such pressure.. "evolution" so to say.. The mest example of Russian madness is the ussr.. Its just the way Russia is.. Hard to change.
