You have no idea how much I as an American appreciate these Videos. I grew up during the cold war and it's so nice to see that the Russian people are just like us.
Thank You
🇺🇲😁
I went there(USA) 4 times it was such an awesome country.
My most favorite city (among I visited) is Chicago.
kn goma although you wouldnt like some parts of that city...
Jody Swaney I love learning more & more about Russia!
Yeah, theyre ****SO***** lucky
Most of the world is. Unfortunately, the media will only let you see the parts that fit their agenda.
I'm Mexican and I absolutely love Russia, from years and years ago, I was there twice, in Moscow, and I can't wait to go back, I feel a soul connection with Russia.
@@davidzhabin I will trust me, it's just matter of time :) Best regards
@ I'm a fan!. Saludos
Not all that difficult to get a Soul type connection with many Russians.
If you see Russia outside of Moscow, the connection will be lost.
@@mayakstudios7292 I was in the Moscow region, Chernogolovka, the science institute... and i LOVED IT, for me that's true Russia and i love it
Found your channel by chance today. You are doing a great job showcasing Russia off the beaten track. Keep vlogging. All the best!
thank you

@@differentrussia. how many cities are there in Moscow anyway?
I want to eat there! When Iived in the State of Maryland we had a Russian market in my town that sold prepared Russian dishes. I fell in love with a lot of the food there. I really miss being able to go there to pick up lunches or a quick dinner. I hope your husbands mother is OK. It is scary to have to take a relative to the hospital.
Thank you for making these vlogs through the eye of a Russian. You show the organic life of how the Russian people lives. Also, I noticed the supermarkets are kept very clean and organized so unlike in the US...And Russian food looks delicious! Because of your videos I have put your beautiful country on my must travel list!
I dont know what kind of supermarkets you have there but if you ignore Walmart we have a lot of very nice supermarkets that are very nice clean and organized like the one in the video.
And in the uk
So clean and sparkling.........not that I have seen in the US. Wegmanns comes close but not as nice.
idk where in America you live LOL. But that's not the case in actual America.
welcome
Sorry to hear Alex's mother isn't well, I hope she gets better soon
😽🐿🕊
I hope so as well.
Hi Valeria. Thank you for your tour today. I enjoy seeing and enjoying Russia. I truly enjoy your showing and discussing prices. I too am price driven. Most interesting to me is the number of SUV’s on the road. I too drive a suv. Thank you for sharing and of course we all wish your mother in law the best of outcomes. John
Russian food is very good, even when I was there in the early 90s, and Russian winter in St Petersburg is incredible. I miss Pelmeni and Russian bread, also Champanski!!!!! There was no shops like this when I was there. But some how everything was good. Your vids are really nice. I like the village ones the most.
I love pelmeni! One of my favorite memories of my time in Russia was going to a friends dacha, foraging for mushrooms and making pelmeni. Though I like the pork and onion ones the best the mushroom pelmenis hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to seeing your family recipe. I will definitely try it. Really like your vids
Just came across this video by chance and I'm so glad I did. Very interesting and informative. Everything looks fantastic and I'd love to sample it one day. Your day to day life mirrors most everywhere else of course but are we aloud to believe that in Eurooe? Kind regards from England and i shall watch all your other videos with much interest. Keep posting and some more traditional Russian recipes for home cooking would be lovely! 😊
really nice video - i get to see what russia is like
Boy am I hungry after seeing all that lovely food.
Just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it. Russia looks so much more prosperous than we in the US are led to believe! And the inexpensive food there seems to be much healthier and better quality than our "burgers and fries." Your English is wonderful.
I wonder if such a store existed back in the 1970's or 1980's? Anybody know?
It was not poor in Soviet times either, just different. There are rich and poor areas in every country. Politians lied to us in so many ways and they still do more or less.
@@gidget8717 The GUM has always been a luxury mall. That means it was way better equipped and much more colorful and shiny than regular shops. Every socialist country had at least one luxury mall in the capital to show off. Foreign visitors, especially from capitalist countries, should get the impression that socialism is as capable as the western world when in comes to providing for the people. The shops where people really went shopping were plain, rather gray and depressing and had not nearly as many products as the GUM. Many things were scarce and hard to get. In socialism the companies belong to all people, so there was no competition between the manufacturers. Therefore the products as well as their packaging was very simple, not fancy and shiny at all. There was no need to enhance products to make customers buy (more). I grew up behind the Iron Curtain too and I experienced the same as those Russian neighbors. The first time in a western country I was so overwhelmed by all the colors, beautiful packaging, the mix of smells of washing powder, chewing gum etc., that it made me vomit when I came out of a supermarket. 😃
@@gidget8717 I grew up in the GDR. After the wall came down I lived in West Germany and for a short while in the US. After many years in the West I'm back in my home area now. In the GDR (former communist part of Germany) life wasn't as gray, dull and dangerous as western media usually made it look like. Like you said both systems have their pros and cons. Capitalism is based on competition and communism on community. So manufacturers in capitalist countries have to compete with many others who produce the same product. In communism however the goal was to provide for the people, meaning to produce only the amounts that are needed and that things should last as long as possible to save resources. That's the reason why our products and their packaging looked rather plain and not as colorful and maketing-designed as western things. And we didn't have such a vast variety. There were only around four types of coffeemakers on the market, only one type strawberry jam on the shelves and only three main washing powders (for white, colored and sensitive clothes) etc. So of course there was no need for giant supermarkets. Things like hairdryers and mixers were built to last for decades. Some of those items are still in use today, 30 years after the GDR existed. So this country was kind of accidentally environmental friendly. The industrial plants were not, of course. Luxury products were very expensive but available. Exotic fruits and generally things that could not be produced here (because of the climate) like coffee and cacao were often hard to get or of lower quality. The shops didn't look as beautiful as nowadays because it was not necessary. No perfumed stores and hardly any ingredients (colors, aromas) in food that make us buy more etc. West Germany was a shock with all its bright displays and scented things, plus the huge variety. The US topped even that. So much artificial stuff and aggressive marketing was just too much. I enjoy today's possibilities but I miss those long lasting appliances and to having to choose from only 3 or 4 types of a product is definitely healthier for us and better for our planet than having 80 types of each thing. All the excess and cheaply made stuff only lands in the landfills or pollutes everything when burned.
Kvass, please. ;-) There are so many interesting things to choose from. I'll try the pies and mushroom soup, I think. You find so many interesting things to share with us. I hope all goes well for Alex's mother. Hello from show covered Madison, WI (USA). Thanks for the visit.
Soup & salad combo sounds great, with a small pie & small cake for dessert! Very nice to see a clean mall with good lighting. Also a kids room sounds like a good idea. Kids get restless when on a long shopping event, so a place to play with other kids seems like a good idea!! Prices seem very similar to US prices, but to be honest most malls in my area of Los Angeles are more expensive then this food court in Russia. Also the food looks clean, well prepared & very healthy as well. Good job my friends in Russia!
You live in the US and you’ve never seen kids room in a shopping center? And in your neighborhood soda costs a dollar in a food court? I new LA was a city of contrasts, but I didn’t realize they were so extreme.
everything looks delicious!
Thank you for the great tour. I really like Russians a lot and I wish that they were our very best friends in the world. Greetings from Arizona.
The prices are so damn low and the food quality is also very good.
It's cheap for your wages, maybe. You have to remember that Russian wages are not as high as in your country. If the food seems cheap to you, that means local purchase power is very low. It's quite evident from the exchange rate as well: 1 US dollar is worth 61 rubles.
@@descoiatorul I am from Russia from a province (North Caucasus) and this food is also cheap for me, I don’t eat in such places at all, I eat pesticide-free products and meat from animals grown in small farms, and such food is more expensive. For example, a kilo of meat can cost about $ 20.
@@sobakadrug07 kilo of beef? It is still inexpensive :)
For organic meat.
@@sobakadrug07 They use pesticides in Russia too?
@@descoiatorul you should also take into consideration that we dont have high taxes on dwelling, most ov us have own apartments( given free in Soviet times) if you want a new one you sell your old, add and buy bigger or newer, pensioners pay half , taxes for propety are nothing
What you are doing is very noble. You are encouraging peace between Russia and the west by exposing russian way of life to the west. Best wishes to you and your family.
WHAT!?
Thank you for sharing. I sponsor a Russian Festival every year here in Michigan USA, and I eat a lot of pelmeni and shashlik both days that weekend. And my town has a Russian Market where I buy Tarhun, or as Boris calls it "Chernobyl Rainwater", which I find very delicious.
Wow America needs to follow the Russian ways very clean no gmos How I would love to go there. Im so hungry 😋. Im going to make some buscht or beet soup. With smoked pork carrots greens eggs onions cellery 🥔
I would love to visit Russia and try all the marvelous food! Seeing the food is making me hungry and I just ate lunch! Great prices!
I really like your videos. Give Sheffield a big hug for me thank you
Those breads next to the soups looked interesting and yummy.
I have been watching these videos the past 2 days and I find them VERY interesting. I am working on a digital project where I am building dacha's in the Russian countryside. I am from the US and I needed to do some research to make sure I am accurately representing the architecture and landscape. These videos have been very helpful (especially the one where you are shopping for pre manufactured Dachas.
I have been watching the videos about life in the towns/cities surrounding Moscow. One thing I have noticed is how different the towns and neighborhoods develop in Russia compared to the US. Around Moscow it seems that new neighborhoods (8-30 story apartment towers) consider all the things needed to sustain that neighborhood, department stores, cafeterias, doctors office, playgrounds, etc. If a school doesn't exist yet, there is one soon to be built, oftentimes right in the center of the apartment tower complex. Even the department stores consider things for everyone, the cafeteria, the kids area, etc.
Russian neighborhoods are communities in every sense of the word.
New development in the United states is completely unlike this. First you would never find a store like the one in this video anywhere in the US. Ikea might be the closest thing we have. New neighborhoods are often nothing more than a sea of 1 to 2 story houses connected by sprawling winding roads. Schools are likely miles and miles away, and if you are in a suburban or rural area of less than 10,000 people, you are lucky to have any grocery store, and even more lucky if that store sells fresh produce. You will never find cafeterias, large seating areas, kids areas that are monitored or all the other necessary amenities people need. Instead, you might see McDonalds or some other unhealthy garbage in a separate building next to a gas station on the same lot. Everything is soo sprawled out, it is nearly impossible to survive without a vehicle. Car breaks down...tough. good luck being able to do anything.
I feel there is ALOT that US developers and planners can learn from this. Thank you for sharing!
You explained this well, thank you. (Connecticut resident)
Would you consider teaching us one new Russian word each video (In Cyrillic).
Reminds me of IKEA food court hehe. Great video btw
Yes! Just like our IKEA stores in England except the salads look so much better in Russia. My mouth is watering at those hot dishes. :)
Love your videos and love your music you're doing a good job girl!!!!
Me too...:)
Wonderful - the cafeteria reminds me very much of IKEA. Also the prices were less than in Houston, Texas where I live.
Like the way that you give Russian & US dollar comparison---nobody else does that. Your prices are very comparable---sometimes cheaper. The prepared food is probably more nutritious. Great presentation & great music. Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
Everyone comparing prices to the US but they seem similar to where I lived in Idaho. But maybe Idaho is like Russia, there’s even a city called Moscow haha.
I live in Russia and we have a village called Paris nearby.
There's a Moscow in PA too, my Dad was from Moscow 👍🤣
Here in Michigan, USA that food would cost us 3x as much. Looks fantastic, thank you for sharing. ❤️
Are you ready to make 50 cents per 1 hour in Russia? Ha-ha- welcome to the Russia and your solary will be 50 cents per one hour;)))))
viktoriamarchenko414 - no thanks! Our normal i would guess is around $20.00 - $30.00 depending on your profession.
In Russia, for an hour you will receive at least three times more and give the state 13 percent of the earned income tax. And how much do you give to your state ? Probably 50 centers per hour earn Workers in Ukraine. But Russia and Ukraine have long been different States in Russia, even workers without education and special professional skills get more.
Many people from Ukraine are looking for a job in Russia
@@GreatLakesStacking Dont listen to some internet trolls. Average salary in Moscow region is 80 000/160 = 500 roubles or 8$ per hour.
Christine that isnt at all how economy works
High level of cleanliness (You Will not find in Italy, my homeland, at the same prices range).
Wonderful video providing insight into life in Russia. Please upload more!
That bread stuffed with cabbage, a bowl of that good mushroom soup, another bread stuffed with cabbage. One large coke on ice, another bread stuffed with cabbage, One glass of Hot tea , Sugar and lemon. another bread stuffed with cabbage, a link of good kelbasa type sausage. and to finish it all, a bread stuffed with cabbage. My Grandma's made the bread stuffed with cabbage and for the record it is , bar none the best thing I have ever ate. 100 percent peasent food and in this world of fine dining , expensive wines and such, that bread with cabbage is the best thing that holy God gave to us as food, 100 percent mana from heaven...
Neat and clean, very reasonable pricing. In America for $5 you get a burger or hot dog and fries, or a slice of pizza, and a drink.
In today's Cuenca, Ecuador you get a big fill of cooked food on a market for 2 to 3.
pizza 40 cm in Russia 8$. If the sale is one big and one small for the price of one.
Zig says all food prices will rise quickly globally, cant keep up with it!
Actually here in Florida in the USA I get all I can eat soup, salad, pizza, bread sticks, brownies, cinnamon rolls for $6. For $4, I can have two eggs any style, with wheat toast, grits or hash-brown potatoes. For $4, I could also have two eggs any style with two flap jack pan cakes and two strips of bacon. For $5, I can have a foot long sub with turkey, ham, pickles, lettuce, olives, lettuce with baby spinach, banana peppers and any spread or salad dressing I want and have it on a fresh baked wheat sub bun. For $5, I can have two fried fish and french fries and hush puppies or coleslaw salad or green beans or steamed broccoli. Yes, if I want I can have for $5 a hamburger, fries and tea or soda, but I am not limited to that. If I use coupons here in the USA I can get most of those meals for less or have a free iced tea or coffee with them.
People all over the world are pretty much the same. They sell for the crowed they are trying to attract. Some sell high, some sell medium and some sell low. I can go to any nations and find food affordably. So I am interested in other nations but I do not bash my own nation to make others look better. Each nations stand on it's own without needing people to bash other nations. I am enjoying her video very much.
Very beautiful , very clean and very appetizing !

Always wonderful to watch your presentations of your vyelikaya prekrasnaya strana, Rossiya! Sending good wishes for the health of your family, from Australia.
I really wanted to see such a video from Russia as its so refreshing to see the fabric of everyday life portrayed like this. The clips of abysmal driving, vodka inebriation and gang strongarm violence create a terrible PR image; yes we know that exists but it does in England too but thankfully it isn't a commonplace stereotype. Can we have more of this please? I would love to see life in some small rural villages so perhaps when I hit the subscribe button I will find them.
It made me Hungry watching your video. Everything looked so good... Thank-You for sharing your life with us.. I'm so sorry to hear Alex's mom isn't feeling well. I hope she gets better soon.
I hope your mom is well again Alex!
I too am on diet at the moment. Christmas time leaves its marks on me. I try intervall fasting. So I can only eat between 12:00 and 20:00. And not so much calories of course. It works well.
I'm from a small town in Panamá, Central America ....... There was there small shops and people were creative ..... My grandfather told me just he has to get are cloths and salt. He produced everything: coffee, honey from sugar cane, milk from a small flock, corn, rice, chicken, etc. He was very smart hard worker and people visit him to listen his knowloedge.
You have a fantastic channel.
So informative. Thanks !
Very nice and cheap. I liked the soup. I was charged £5.00 for a bowl of mushroom soup in the printworks in Manchester England.. Thats 422 Russian rubles. Ouch.
it is very expensive))

@@vika-viktoria9738 Why is your salary so small? Maybe you're a lazy or a person with disabilities? If not, then you try to get up from the couch and find a job with a decent salary for a healthy man. Believe me in Russia it is possible. I, an ordinary woman, have a salary much more than 50 cents per hour.
@@vika-viktoria9738 nobody earns 50c per hour in Russia even in some poor remote villages. The average salary in Moscow region is 80 000/160 = 500roubles or 8$ per hour. And you know it perfectly. But you libertards will never miss a chance to spread some nonsense and lies about your own country cause you hate it. On the other hand that is also why people like you will never come to power in Russia cause everyone there knows your trashy nature.
The food looks amaze!
I now live in Jacksonville Florida and we have several buffet restaurants called Golden Corral and for $8 at lunch you can have all you can eat 200 plus items including 30 plus meat dishes. Dinner price is around $11. Also our Chinese buffets are around $7 to $8 at lunch time. Dinner price is about $10. These Chinese buffet are half Chinese food and half American and other international food items. You can do takeout boxes at both types of buffet restaurants at around $4 to $5 per pound of food.
Thanks for the cafeteria tour, Valerie. I'm vegan and it looks like my choices would be very limited, but that's true in most of the US as well, except for in some cities, depending on the region. Possibly in Moscow there might be more available for me, but it's hard to say without investigating. The food you showed looked to be of very nice quality, and I'm glad to see it available to residents there. My family is from a former Iron Curtain country in Eastern Europe and I know what conditions were like there and in Russia during the Cold War period. All best to you and Alex and keep up the good work! I've become a regular viewer and appreciate your videos.
Egg and cabbage pie sounds real good.
This is Great everything looks Great and Tasty!
Could use some shashlik!
Thanks for the lunch tour! Really cool!
The food is amazing, hearty and not prohibitively expensive. Thank you for such an interesting piece of life here.
Spoiled for choice! It all looks yummy 😋. Hello from England UK ✋

thank you . She is fine now
I have a whole new respect for Russia and their food and people..What a beautiful place
Nice spread! Looks good. Thanks for sharing
So nice to keep in touch with you Dear Valeria❤️❤️❤️
It's so weird to watch this. I'm 62. I was raised during the cold war. I still have images of how the US government tried to portray Russia in my mind. This cafeteria looks just like anywhere in the US. It doesn't seem foreign at all other than the language on the signs.
I'm 55 - I was in Leningrad as a Russian language student back in 1991. I can tell you that things have definately changed since then!
I'm curious though. If Russia was able to lift their standard of living such a huge amount over the past 28 years how come the average Americans standard of living has remained neutral or declined?
I too am 62 and raised in Canada. I lived and worked in the former Soviet Union as I mentioned in my comment above. You cannot compare the malls and food of upper middle class Russians to what the rest of that country has on offer. And to say 'it looks like the US' - well, go to some small city or the countryside and you'll see that NOTHING looks like the US. Rich Russians live a life that has no connection to the rest of their fellow countrymen. The rest of that vast country is poor, shabby, and often very hungry. Go visit a sick colleague in a state hospital after he has had surgery and you'll see.
Jim Bruce I do not think that thinking people will believe your lies about Russia.
I live in rural Ohio. Everywhere I look I see people in decrepit buildings. As for hospitals, without insurance you don't get surgery. Private hospital or public. Things are not going well in middle America outside of the wealthy parts of the cities.
I love the Russian people. They have endured so much hardship and misfortune for centuries. The food looks great. May all Russians have plenty of everything.
It's amazing how far quality of life has progressed since I visited in 1976 . Then , fresh vegetables and deserts were almost unknown and people would spend half their day waiting in line for awful bread and other low quality food staples . The government was the sole supplier of everything , so the consumer suffered badly . Glad to see the changes and how much happier the people look.
I follow channels in Thailand and their food, like yours, makes me salivate. Still amazed at the number of US brands in your stores. The companies must have factories in Russia which employ local citizens.
There are Coca-Cola plants in Russia, but very few people drink American carbonated drinks, mostly young people, in Russia these drinks are considered harmful to health, so the same Coca-Cola at its plants in Russia produces drinks according to local recipes.
So you rave about Russian food then get excited that US brands have factories in Russian making US-style food - no contradiction in realities afoot for you my little millennial?
@@cerberus6654 Do you know the difference in scatology and Shinola Shoe Polish? Since you do not know my age, how can you call me a millennial? You are a troll.
@@davidcraddock7011 The 'millennial' comment was egregious and I apologize.
Sure - many has factories here. Pepsi from 1970-ies, Coca Cola since 1990-ies, also Lay's, McDonalds localised for more then 90 per cent, 3M, Boeing, Procer&Gamble.... you name it :))
It’s so clean
Love these videos. A market store here in Adelaide Australia used to sell piroshki. My favourite treat in winter!
This Is Truly Awesome !!! Thanks Again, Valeria
Give it up for Russia. This was a country in total chaos and in shambles only 20 years ago - no food, long lines, crime, disorder, collapsed industries, hunger, etc. Today Russia has turned its economy and society around and all those chaotic times are a thing of the past. Yes, there’s still some ways to go but your country must be commended for pulling itself together and coming back from the brink of disaster. Keep it up.
Thanks Alex and Valeria! hope mom is ok..very enticing shopping trip! Will be glad to see your cooking! Love from Arkansas!

Your videos are so informative and enjoyable. Love seeing other cultures, especially food ways. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Hi Valeria, I enjoyed seeing the cafeteria. It is interesting that in cafeteria things are priced individually, but in buffet it is one price. That is just how it works. Cafeterias are rare in the states these days. I got excited when I saw the carrot salad, I knew I would see it! It is one of my favorite salads. I still love it today. I think my Russian grandparents introduced me to it, I don't quite remember. I only recently learned that it has Russian origin! I'm glad for that, but I have yet to try many other Russian foods. We don't have any where I live. I like to try the original first and then when I make it myself I can be sure it is the same. I have not even had Blinis. I wish we had a Russian restaurant or cafeteria or something here.
It is good that more large stores are having children places in Russia. The only place here that has that is Ikea. (Did you know that Ikea stores in the states are smaller than in Russia? Still a pretty good size, but smaller).
I am sorry to hear that Alex's mother is ill. I hope she will be ok. Please let us know.
Spasibo Valeria. Sorry I can not write in Russian.
Maybe someone should publish a book in English of Russian cuisine. It all looks delicious

I certainly enjoyed this particular chapter. The food looks tasty, but you mentioned that you would give us a recipe of how you made a certain dish. I must have missed that. Could you possibly post that here?
Wonderful to see these things in Russia! Much more like America than I imagined. Thank you for sharing! A warm hello from Florida USA!
Hi😊My name is Evgeniya.I am 23 years old
I also make a video about life in Russia 🇷🇺
Another great video, interesting how similar the prices are to what I have found in many other countries. Just goes to show how far you can travel and language apart, get by. Real people really living.
