What politician is walking down the street or through the Kremlin, sees an unknown teenager, approaches, lifts the teenager's shirt, bare the teenager's chest and kisses the teenager's bare chest and belly and without asking permission or the fathers?. This is normal? We already know that Putin likes to kill, but does Putin like the raw, naked flesh of an unknown teenager? Does Putin have a teenage mind and think of teenagers? What is this? m.ua-cam.com/video/3_O7BZgp3lc/v-deo.html
It should be phrased like "which country would you like to travel to the most?" so that we can see which countries they like. When you ask them their favourite country, they feel as if their patriotism is being tested so they resort to saying Russia.
Well you could have a favourite country without wanting to travel there, right? The question is very ambiguous, which also is what makes it interesting. If the question is about where they want to travel the most, it's a whole other question being answered
The question "what country do you like most?" is very different to "which country would you like to travel to the most?". If you want to know what country they like most, well, you obviously ask the first one. It's way more interesting like that anyway, because you see that people in many other countries don't think (or worse feel the need to think) of their country first.
I think he evolved to that question organically because I've noticed in many interviews ....especially as he goes into more rural areas, no one has left Russia .

You dont get important thing from her answer. Due to such kind of mistrust Russians mostly do not believe in state propaganda. So, image of Russians which is showed for you by brainwashed media isnt correct at all.
Your content is amazing. I donated with Venmo. I learned about your channel while working on Matt McCray's play, "Special Millitary Operation." I've learned so much about the Russian people by watching 1420. I'm amazed by how much average Russians are like average Americans. We all want the same things, really: love, safety, shelter, food, and a country we can be proud of. I look forward to seeing more.
I had the luck to visit Moscow and St Petersburg 15 years ago as a teenager. Russians looked very "tough", very cold, not smiling at all, discreet ... But when you get to talk and to know them ... WOW, it's a whole new world, they have such kind and warm hearts, they are brave and honest, in a total contrast with how they appear first !
My aunt travelled a lot in Russia, and in Ukraine, and in both countries what she loved the most were the people. *In 2014* she also went to *Crimea* but she only stayed for a week (later others came but with the intention to stay).
@@gregowski_pl Of course. I took a boat between Moscow and St Petersburg which stopped and smaller cities and villages : Dubna, Ouglitch, Goritsy, Kizhi, Mandrogui ...
Estonia is a very nice, clean and civilized place to visit, but it also lacks rich culture like Italy or France. This is also true about other Protestant nations like Sweden, Finland or Switzerland.
The last woman made a very thoughtful point. On the one hand, I have admired all the young people who are able to think independently and critically in forming their own opinions about current events and Russian policy in general. But on the other hand, I think of the conditions under which this must have developed. It represents an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust that has been forced on the people through propaganda and corruption, and this distrust must seep into other aspects of Russian life, making people feel isolated and generally affecting how happy it is possible for them to feel.
As russian i love to read crazy abstract conclusions about our society from foreigners. There is no atmosphere of 100% suspicion and distrust. In some situations people will help you and will be very positive and friendly, in some cases or situations they prefer not to participate. It is not about propaganda or corruption
@@ГлебУстинов-ш5м I didn't say 100% distrust. That's like setting up a straw man. It's just something I've reflected on a lot because it's an important cultural difference. I've read Russian people say and have been directly told by Russian people that this feeling of distrust and observation of corruption in government is why so few Russian people want to talk about or participate in politics, for example. It feels like a very risky thing to do, especially when they see how people can be punished for getting involved or working to improve their own country. I read that the last important Russian opposition leader (who was not imprisoned yet), Yevgeny Roizman, was arrested and charged for criticizing the war today. That carries a prison sentence that is higher than the sentence given for murder. Maxim Katz commented that not even the Soviets would have been this open with their suppression ua-cam.com/video/cFmPLgxnfJg/v-deo.html
@@ГлебУстинов-ш5м Sure. If you say hello to a stranger even in NY (famously rude city for the US), 90% you will get hello and a smile back. Try it in moscow. They will look at you as if you are nuts and just walk away. 99%. I don't care what causes this attitude. It is what it is. I actually never meet a friendly ruzzian. They come here and transplant their attitude. To the point that if they block my way in the supermarket I will only say "excuse me" once, and then I scream "move, ruzzian". That does the trick. For everybody else I assume they did not hear me the first time, which is 99% the case. For the ruzzians I know I was just too polite, so they feel they can ignore me. Difference in the attitude on one side causes a difference in the attitude on the other side. And this creates a lot of really rude and unhappy people in ruzzia, and a lot of people who are not crazy about ruzzians elsewhere.
@@wall-edoll8515 What makes her opinion less valid than yours? Whatever Putin might think or want, she still has freedom between her ears and in her heart. Very simply: A person loses respect for themselves when they either permit or else participate in acts that violate their own morals and values. This has knock-on effects that yes, make a person more angry, more unhappy, more selfish, more vulnerable to addiction and most importantly, more likely to dehumanize others since they have, themselves, come to feel less human.

Man, the last answer about the Moscow people was extremely similar to what said another girl who moved from Moscow to Slovakia and gave an interview recently. She moved cca 5 years ago but visits her family in Moscow regularly so she knows what's up. She didn't like the rough mentality of Moscow people compared to, as she said, "friendly Slovaks" which suprised me as I don't consider Slovaks to be very friendly. But now I see it's all about levels.
May be you dont know, but people in Russia, even in Moscow region are constantly depressed due to climate. Just imagine - 7-8 months of the year grey is most common colour.
@@torgashok Read carefully. She's not my friend (where did you read that?). She's a Moscow-born girl where she lived for her entire life up untill her 20's. She had a successfull bussiness there and a good life. But she also travelled a lot across the Europe and ended up with her boy friend in Slovakia (they split up but she stayed despite that). After those 5 years she gained a different perspective and ability to compare the mentalities objectively. That's all.

Several years ago we went on Baltic cruise. We visited Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Estonia and Russia (Sant Petersburg). My husband has physical disabilities. And only in Russia he was very limited. I guess people with disabilities don’t exist in Russia… Also, I am very aware how many abandoned children in Russia live in orphan homes, not being adapted. And somebody talking about “high morality” in Russia???
That’s a real problem in Russia, mobility for handicapped. As for the orphans there’s a huge program that allowed to reduce the number of orphans by 30% in five years, and most of them now live in families, not orphanages. Also when an orphan turns 18 he is provided with housing from the government for free.
I am Russian, 22 years old. There are few people who want to raise other people's children. And those that exist are taken from dysfunctional families, alcoholics, drug addicts, etc. After 18 years, the state gives orphans an apartment and all sorts of benefits.
@thetimekillerx Well, about the apartments, it’s definitely true, since I did an internship in the city administration. It often happens that parents who abandoned their children then claim their apartment allocated by the state.
yeah dude same. Sometimes when I talk to my parents and we argue about something, it's just so bad, it's almost like talking to a wall. If it's my mom, there's simply no taking an L and admitting that she's wrong, never (given that the points I made are really solid). I call it the queen effect. Whenever they're asked a question that's about to ruin everything they said, they would try and avoid it at all costs, even if they're asked numerous times. The only important thing for them from what I can tell is to have the last word and leave, which always implies "I'm badass and I'm the only one who's right" when they do that. It's honestly pretty sad. I feel like they think younger ones can't have an opinion and be right at anything. Being older than their kids on the other hand makes them feel somewhat superior. I kind of understand where it comes from, maybe it's because they were born and raised in USSR, but that's no excuse. There's simply no way for you to "live" like that, only exist. When things like what I'm talking about rn happen, it all becomes obvious why people are the way they are, they just never gave it a second thought. I feel sorry for bringing this up in a video like this, but I also felt like I had to say it because it's overall a very common thing and needs to be discussed.
Very nice and correct young lady at the end.In most of America people will come up to meet you , say hi, and ask if they can help. We also have a large group of Russians that live and work here. I have worked with many and I love their work ethic of getting the job done not always the way one might think but it gets done. As an American (and I think I speak for a lots of us) we as a people have no problem with the Russian people. We have a problem with their government that thinks that they can tell you what to do and you will just do it without question, that is a problem. The Russian people that have moved here love the freedom to speak and move all they want. The lady and her family that live next door to me are lovely people and very nice Russian family

Years/lives spent under surveillance and the KGB/FSB power of feast has led to what the last girls said in thd video. Those are the symptoms.
If you search longer, you will also find people in Berlin who really like Russia (Putin, the system, etc.): Either old GDR veterans who enjoyed the complete dictatorship education and cried when Erich Honecker had to step down. Or new rights where there is generally "too much democracy" (e.g. fans of the AfD party). Interesting: Among the new right-wingers who support Putin's policies are a number of exiled Russians - late resettlers from the Soviet Union. This group of people doesn't think Russia is good enough to live in, but at the same time they think Putin, his wars, and his hatred are a good thing. This extremist group of Russia Today consumers really creeps me out.
"This group of people doesn't think Russia is good enough to live in, but at the same time they think Putin, his wars, and his hatred are a good thing." Or may be they simply left collapsed USSR when it was really hard to live, and now they have quite a lot of roots in Germany, so they have no reason to go back to Russia, even though life in Russia greatly improved?
@@FlyLoriens That can be possible. But there is also a tendency among some of the resettlers to isolate themselves from German society. With the (gift of) German citizenship, the precious (not financial but legal and social, liberal) achievements in Germany are underestimated and devalued by some. The problem in this group is not the "roots" they put down in Germany, but the lack of roots in the democratic and constitutional ideals in their new German homeland. Fortunately, this group of people is only a minority.
I can confirm that. these people also exist in Austria. I'm sorry to say this, but Russia has never been taught democracy. It is insane what these people say. The Austrian Freedom Party and the Lega Nord in Italy are even financed by dubious oil deals and other tactics that do everything they can to undermine our democracy. Nothing against the people from russia, but the politics of your fascist dictator annoys me as an austrian. and yes: i am allowed to call him that, because first of all i am a freaking professional in anti-fascist information, and the dictator from russia fulfills almost all the characteristics that come into question for fascism.
Not really. If He ask 100 germans 90% will be against russia. And only maybe germans with russian or right wing perspectiv will love it. But in the end they all like living in germany more than in russia. No one want to move to russia.

How stupid you are ! When today's youth comes to power, they will already be old. All the young people are "for all the good, against all the bad " , but in life it's not like if you do good to someone, at the same time you always do bad to someone.
It's ok when older generation is nuts. Their time shall come. But when younger generation is nuts the country is doomed. Hopefully younger generation in Russia is not as ignorant as the older.
@@s7a7yC Russian youth policy under Putin is not competent. It's a mixture of propaganda and boredom. President Yeltsin and Medvedev fared better. And in Soviet times there were pioneers, this is not an attainable level. Today, the Internet is being destroyed in Russia, and this is the basic point. No wonder young people are with Navalny.
I lived in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for 11 years. What most people of the former Soviet Union don't realize is that the rest of the world doesn't think about them at all. They think that it's an obsession with Westerners to "beat Russia" or whatever. But most westerners don't even consider Russia important (except when they are actively at war or whatever). That isn't to say that the western governments don't consider Russia, but the public would NEVER be in support of extreme measure against Russia if they weren't declaring war, etc. Russians think the CIA and the US government are involved in all sorts of plots, and they probably do finance opposition in Russia and a hundred other countries, but Russia is not high on any priority lists.
I’ve noticed that the more authoritarian a country is, the more people name their own country as their favorite. You can see the same in the US, the Republican Party voters (right wing) will easily make US as their favorite while more left leaning democrat voters are more likely to name other countries around the world .
It was a little sad to hear that last girl speak. Imagine living in a country where the default mindset is to distrust the motives of everyone around you. I remember my father telling me, "Around every corner, there is someone who wants to help you." Not in Russia, apparently.
no need to draw conclusions about the country only on the comment of one girl. In fact, there are many people here who are ready to help you at any moment. Yes, there are individuals who treat everyone with distrust, but mostly they are those who were brought up in the nineties and the crisis that arose after the collapse of the USSR.
Russia's future lies with the young generation, and not with these outdated cold war relics who are currently in power. Until they and their mindsets are gone, Russia will not be able to move forward and catch up with the rest of us.

Its completely bizarre that Russia is hunting out Ukrainian "nationalists" while promoting Russian nationalism. It makes less than no sense that for a Ukrainian to be patriotic is a crime, but for a Russian to not be patriotic is also a crime. As if Ukrainians don't have the right to be proud of their country and Russians don't have the right to not be proud of their country. If any Russians reading this could help me understand this disconnect, and why Russians are right and Ukrainians are wrong for loving their country, please let me know.
You must be kidding, are not you? Where did you learn that in Russia not to be patriotic is any kind of crime? Just a few years ago term patriot in Russia was insult meaning slightly stupid person. If you love your country it's ok, but if you start to kill Russians, it's no ok. That's what bandera scum started in 2014 (Odessa massacre happened just a 9 days before Lugansk and Donetsk referendums, and greatly increased amounts of "separatists" support) and Ukrainians did nothing to stop it. Do you know, that 1/3 of Russian army in Ukraine consist of Ukrainians, and quite a lot of Ukrainian journalists and politicians now totally support Russian army? Im not even talking that governor of Nikolayev openly said that he suspect EVERY citizen of his city as proRussian. May be you simply dont know some things about this conflict, which mainstream medias do not show you, isn't it? Your all look over Russia is quite insane, you live in fantasy world, Russians are typical Europeans, they are not people from other planet. One of the most popular motto in Ukraine since 2013 (even before Crimea) was 'Kill Russians with knifes". If you think it's ok (they just love their country), just change Russians to Jews to realize full deepness of your misunderstanding.
It's not like they don't give Ukrainians the right to be patriotic and love their country. They don't give them the right to be Ukrainians and have a country.
I live in Norway. Since the 24th of February, it will be harder for you to visit us than before. I just hope that if you decide to visit us, you will be mindful of your attitudes towards the war in Ukraine and other actions done by the criminal regime in the Kremlin. Some Russian tourists have harassed Ukrainians abroad or been rude to the locals. I'm not implying that's something you'd do, I'm just saying that we are vigilant about these issues now.
I think there is a difference between the country you love most and the ones you consider your favourites. That is, if you are not indoctrinated to believe your country is something it is not. Home is always home whether you like it or not. It can be a bit like an abusive parent, sometimes, in that you might not like how it functions and you know you get bullied by it but it made you what you are and you love it for that. A favourite country though is a place that fulfils all your dreams. Has what makes you feel good, weather, or exotic beaches, or is full of colour and energy, or has landscapes to die for or food you can delight in. There’s a difference. Quite a big one, because you can love your country even if you are thoroughly ashamed of it. You can also love it enough to criticise it or disagree with its actions when it is wrong. The kind of thing again we might do with a parent whether they are good or bad, we can still criticise if it is wrong. It is odd to me to see people who I am pretty sure actually do have reservations about their nation just go on automatic when they are asked a question which in their minds should not be asked let alone answered. What a social destroyer it must be!
Really well said. There definitely is a distinction. Usually 1420 is very good in how they phrase their questions. This one kind of missed the mark. Maybe it was just a language error.
Exactly as you say, things are complex! The reason why I didn't like (!?) Russians, is why they chose Putin as president the first time in about year 2000! He didn't have a "white" background at all! There use to be much talk of maffia bosses all over the world, but P. is second to none, totally in a class of its own. That's why the fall will be fom a very high height! Will he survive? In the middle of the 1990ies he was very close to be put in jail, because of his businesses/robberies... About 2008-9, I think, I thought about visiting Mikhail Khodorkovski when he was in jail, because I knew where he was imprisoned, and it wasn't very far away. I visited this small town/village in 2006. What should I say more? The latest president elections in USA show also how easy it is to indoctrinate people, to spread fake news. USA is no exception, far from that! But at least I expect more from the Americans! I have, I think, about 100(!) not very distant relatives there... and one close that works at the Apple HQ, and the biggest(?) owner lives just around the corner. I hope people think twice before they put their votes next time. Think big! Things that are important for the country, are probably good for you too.
In Russia, of course, there are many problems. But what country has no problems at all? But in Russia there really is a lot of good things, for which you love her, not only because this country is your homeland. If you exclude Russia, then I like Norway. I was there once. I liked the climate (I don’t like it when it’s hot), I liked the nature (the sea and the fjords), I liked that Oslo is a small and not overcrowded city without traffic jams and 99% of the houses are no higher than the fifth floor. People are also friendly and beautiful with wheaten hair. But even in Russia there are seas, mountains and small, not overpopulated cities. I dream of moving from Moscow to Zelenogradsk and settling in a house on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
Let's be fair and say that the people of all 3 big superpowers - Russia, USA and China - are indoctrinated. They all often brag how their country is "the greatest in the world. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Russia is a very interesting country with a differentiated culture. I know Moscow, Saint Peterburg, Nizhni Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, Ekaterimburg, Anapa, Sochi... I know Crimea up and down but I won't say is Russia despite what history tells, they don't deserve to keep it. I learned Russian for many years and know lots of Russians. What they lack is freedom and self-criticism, but many there don't value it, they prefer what they think is a strong leader to keep the country strong. They also think politics is not for them and that the government is the one to think and decide. Surely they are patriotic, but sometimes in a very bad sense, justifying anything their government tells them. I think Russia has the disgrace of having their historical development stopped by communism and they could not resume their evolution towards becoming a free country yet. They have culture and intelligence, as any Western christian country had, but they were cut off from their natural path to be a really great and free country.
and every time in history certain changes were introduced from outside, communism was thought up and it seems that it was Western leaders who instilled in Russia.
"I know Crimea up and down but I won't say is Russia despite what history tells, they don't deserve to keep it." History says Crimea is Ukrainian (and Tatar).

Most Americans haven’t either. Europeans travel more than Russians but Russians travel more than Americans which is crazy since America is far richer than Russia.

:10 says it all. The last young lady was incredibly insightful, every conversation I heard while in Russia sounded like an argument, a haggling negotiation. A Russian I know once told me, if you want to survive in Russia, you need to know how to "spin"(lie). I found that depressing. We all lie to some degree, but to enshrine it as a state institution is an ugly look.
Strange opinion. I have been living in Russia since my birth, and at the same time I do not like and do not know how to lie. I can be wrong, but I deliberately lie very rarely and then I feel a sense of discomfort. I wouldn't say my life is bad.
You should have asked them,apart from Russia, which is your favourite country? But I rather suspect the answer will be the same as most Russians haven't travelled outside of Russia.
Maybe you could have asked the lady that could not speak English in Russian. Old people from east Germany and Berlin learned Russian at school but not English
Very few people from East Germany can speak Russian fluently. They were forced to learn Russian and most didn't like it - so were their skills. Most of them only remember some words and very basic phrases today. Merkel is one of the few exceptions, but she never spoke Russian in public since she became Chancellor, maybe her skills are not that good either. ;-)
I could tell that she knew the question and just didn't want to talk so "No English" is a standard brush off in my opinion. I experienced this when I went on a vacation there.
@@elainewhite3059 People in Berlin that grew up during the GDR time are mostly really not able to speak English. Like I stated before they learned Russian and not English at school.
If Russia the best country in the world, why do russians leave to work in europe? The russian said for money, so european countries are more developed and have better economies? wouldnt that make them better.
Russians are learning so much about their culture. How it is the land of the lost, the land of the pofigists it means they don't care about anything that is not their own, the land that produces the to Lada. What are they good for?
Ukraine has such a potential that, not constantly attacked or invigilated by russia, it will only need help few years after victorious war. Later on Ukraine will be fine and get rapid economic growth.
One thing is evident from your videos, The young people in Russia, mostly, are aware of the world around them and their own country. They are not as constrained and afraid of the state as their parents. They are smarter than their parents. Change is coming to Russia. There is hope. Great job on your channel.
I think you are partly right, but also wrong at the same time. I’m 25 years old, I’m from the central part of Russia, I’ll say this, the quality of education has dropped sharply compared to the USSR from personal experience with communication with older generations, and in general, at work, I encounter that, despite a master’s degree with honors, I have to study after university (self-study ) in order to stay afloat and compete with the older generation, on the other hand, the older generation (for example, my parents) have a very hard time with the Internet and modern technologies in general, for example, my father uses the Internet only for work or to find out the news, for communication the Internet in general does not use.
It's crazy how many of them said "Russia". In the UK I don't think many people would answer the country they live in. I think most would answer somewhere with good weather and beaches and cheap prices. Even English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish nationalists would probably not say their home country.
I love Russia, but I don't like our government, president and politics. I don't want to move, although I have possibility to leave. My parents don't have such possibility, my granny doesn't have. I just hope it all gonna be over. Im ready to reconstruct and repair our country after Putin and his "team".
Путин в России многое отремонтировал уже. Значительно улучшил состояние дорог. Я надеюсь вы жили при Горбачёве и Ельцине, и пишете это, опираясь на свой опыт. Потому что Россия 80 и 90х годов, и Россия сейчас - две большие разницы, во многом благодаря Путину.
"country with high morals" - it's so awful that these people who say things like this are so ignorant that their country has destroyed the lives of so many people for absolutely no legitimate reason - "High morals"... This isn't a question about individuals in the country, it's about the country. There are good people in Russia, but as the entity of the country? High morals - yeah, no.

@@YujiroHanmaaaa No, because they literally sound French, the accent and especially the intonation. I'm French that's why it's so recognizable for me. And actually their English is pretty good.
I had a Kazakh girlfriend. We had all kinds of problems because she always thought that whenever I said something, I meant something else. If I mentioned a problem with some celebrity couple, it probably actually meant us. If I talked about something being expensive, it probably meant that she wanted expensive things or something else like that. Ironically, our other problems came from me not being tactful enough and saying things she didn't want to hear. So I was both too honest and dishonest at the same time.
@@99ron30 You could be right. But I'm an "open book" so many of my problems come from saying TOO MUCH. There isn't much "between the lines" with me. But I noticed that with people of former Soviet Union (and many Asian nations), it's just standard procedure to read between the lines.
I admire the way some of the young people in Russia in these videos express their views, like the woman at the end. It makes me more hopeful for the future. It seems clear that there is a shift in values between generations.

00:17 Karin Ritter o.O Welcome to Germany, Danil :) Lol classic Berlin- mostly tourists you talked to😅 and the lady who said she doesn't understand english actually had an eastern european accent. Assuming she is from russia herself 🤣
In my country (Slovakia) lot of people thinks Russia is better country then west countries, because they have higher "morality". I would like to know what "morality" means for these people. People which are saying this are usually in my opinion people with lowest "morality. With no tolerance to others and with no empathy. They are rude and hatefull in the public and on the internet. They don't visiting culture events, they mostly only hating them. They have no ideas, no solutions for problems just complaining all the time how everything is bad and not good enough. And they just play how high morale they have and everybody else is sick.
So sad that Russia has such a cultured history artistically, but a long history of aggression and war. Your people are thoughtful and articulate, but always wary of ulterior motives in others.
I'm surprised none of them said China which is their closest ally now, and that nobody said Ukraine, which they apparently like so much they're trying so hard to conquer it.

@Sheikh Shaq I don't think racism is unusual in homogeneous countries/regions. In most European countries you can't see if a person come from Denmark or Norway, or Germany or France. On the other hand you can see if the person come from Middle East or northern Africa, and then you think that they can do anything... In Helsinki one of the deputy mayors is a young Afghan lady (born in Afghanistan) and then you think the Afghan people are quite good guys! I know from Sweden, as I have lived there for 35 years that you have difficulties to get, a good job, if your name is "strange". It doesn't not matter if you are born in Sweden or not. When they see your name on the application they put it to the side. If the same person present it self with a genuine Swedish name, he/she is called for an interview! That's not very good at all, and the address where you live make it even worse! All with strange names are not affected, but it is sad as it is. When people moved to America 100-150 years ago, many or most(?) changed their names. That's why Pamela Anderson isn't Pamela Hyytyäinen (Finnish)! And the mother of Matt Damon isn't Carlsson-Pajari (Swedish/Finnish) instead Nancy Carls(s)on-Paige!
@Sheikh Shaq It depends on what you mean by racism and homogeneous? When I think of Europe, I firstly think of EU (and UK), and the rest is eastern Europe. Then I don't think I live in northern Europe, I live in a Nordic country or in two Nordic countries. What do you call it when people don't like that you talk an other language or if you speak with a different accent?

It should be phrased like "which country would you like to travel to the most?" so that we can see which countries they like. When you ask them their favourite country, they feel as if their patriotism is being tested so they resort to saying Russia.
This is a good point.
Well you could have a favourite country without wanting to travel there, right? The question is very ambiguous, which also is what makes it interesting. If the question is about where they want to travel the most, it's a whole other question being answered
The question "what country do you like most?" is very different to "which country would you like to travel to the most?". If you want to know what country they like most, well, you obviously ask the first one. It's way more interesting like that anyway, because you see that people in many other countries don't think (or worse feel the need to think) of their country first.

Estonia is a very nice, clean and civilized place to visit, but it also lacks rich culture like Italy or France. This is also true about other Protestant nations like Sweden, Finland or Switzerland.
The last woman made a very thoughtful point. On the one hand, I have admired all the young people who are able to think independently and critically in forming their own opinions about current events and Russian policy in general. But on the other hand, I think of the conditions under which this must have developed. It represents an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust that has been forced on the people through propaganda and corruption, and this distrust must seep into other aspects of Russian life, making people feel isolated and generally affecting how happy it is possible for them to feel.
As russian i love to read crazy abstract conclusions about our society from foreigners. There is no atmosphere of 100% suspicion and distrust. In some situations people will help you and will be very positive and friendly, in some cases or situations they prefer not to participate. It is not about propaganda or corruption
@@ГлебУстинов-ш5м I didn't say 100% distrust. That's like setting up a straw man.
It's just something I've reflected on a lot because it's an important cultural difference. I've read Russian people say and have been directly told by Russian people that this feeling of distrust and observation of corruption in government is why so few Russian people want to talk about or participate in politics, for example. It feels like a very risky thing to do, especially when they see how people can be punished for getting involved or working to improve their own country.
I read that the last important Russian opposition leader (who was not imprisoned yet), Yevgeny Roizman, was arrested and charged for criticizing the war today. That carries a prison sentence that is higher than the sentence given for murder.

They will look at you as if you are nuts and just walk away. 99%. I don't care what causes this attitude. It is what it is. I actually never meet a friendly ruzzian. They come here and transplant their attitude. To the point that if they block my way in the supermarket I will only say "excuse me" once, and then I scream "move, ruzzian". That does the trick. For everybody else I assume they did not hear me the first time, which is 99% the case. For the ruzzians I know I was just too polite, so they feel they can ignore me. Difference in the attitude on one side causes a difference in the attitude on the other side. And this creates a lot of really rude and unhappy people in ruzzia, and a lot of people who are not crazy about ruzzians elsewhere.
This is an essential element of a totalitarian state. Fear and isolation are its two main characteristics.
@@wall-edoll8515 What makes her opinion less valid than yours? Whatever Putin might think or want, she still has freedom between her ears and in her heart.
Very simply: A person loses respect for themselves when they either permit or else participate in acts that violate their own morals and values. This has knock-on effects that yes, make a person more angry, more unhappy, more selfish, more vulnerable to addiction and most importantly, more likely to dehumanize others since they have, themselves, come to feel less human.

Several years ago we went on Baltic cruise.
We visited Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Estonia and Russia (Sant Petersburg). My husband has physical disabilities. And only in Russia he was very limited. I guess people with disabilities don’t exist in Russia…
Also, I am very aware how many abandoned children in Russia live in orphan homes, not being adapted.
And somebody talking about “high morality” in Russia???
That’s a real problem in Russia, mobility for handicapped. As for the orphans there’s a huge program that allowed to reduce the number of orphans by 30% in five years, and most of them now live in families, not orphanages. Also when an orphan turns 18 he is provided with housing from the government for free.
They don't care about disabled, sick and weak people in Russia. That's how good it is obvously.
That's what communism left behind. This also happened in my country, a former communist, now in the EU. We still have problems....
I am Russian, 22 years old. There are few people who want to raise other people's children. And those that exist are taken from dysfunctional families, alcoholics, drug addicts, etc. After 18 years, the state gives orphans an apartment and all sorts of benefits.
@thetimekillerx Well, about the apartments, it’s definitely true, since I did an internship in the city administration. It often happens that parents who abandoned their children then claim their apartment allocated by the state.

If it's my mom, there's simply no taking an L and admitting that she's wrong, never (given that the points I made are really solid). I call it the queen effect. Whenever they're asked a question that's about to ruin everything they said, they would try and avoid it at all costs, even if they're asked numerous times. The only important thing for them from what I can tell is to have the last word and leave, which always implies "I'm badass and I'm the only one who's right" when they do that.
It's honestly pretty sad. I feel like they think younger ones can't have an opinion and be right at anything. Being older than their kids on the other hand makes them feel somewhat superior. I kind of understand where it comes from, maybe it's because they were born and raised in USSR, but that's no excuse. There's simply no way for you to "live" like that, only exist. When things like what I'm talking about rn happen, it all becomes obvious why people are the way they are, they just never gave it a second thought.

If you search longer, you will also find people in Berlin who really like Russia (Putin, the system, etc.): Either old GDR veterans who enjoyed the complete dictatorship education and cried when Erich Honecker had to step down. Or new rights where there is generally "too much democracy" (e.g. fans of the AfD party).

"This group of people doesn't think Russia is good enough to live in, but at the same time they think Putin, his wars, and his hatred are a good thing."
Or may be they simply left collapsed USSR when it was really hard to live, and now they have quite a lot of roots in Germany, so they have no reason to go back to Russia, even though life in Russia greatly improved?
@@FlyLoriens That can be possible.
But there is also a tendency among some of the resettlers to isolate themselves from German society. With the (gift of) German citizenship, the precious (not financial but legal and social, liberal) achievements in Germany are underestimated and devalued by some. The problem in this group is not the "roots" they put down in Germany, but the lack of roots in the democratic and constitutional ideals in their new German homeland.
Fortunately, this group of people is only a minority.
I can confirm that. these people also exist in Austria. I'm sorry to say this, but Russia has never been taught democracy. It is insane what these people say.

I feel bad for the youth of Russia, most are obviously free-minded, unlike their parents and grandparents who unfortunately are the political class of the country. I feel there is no hope for Russia, unless younger people take over the government.
You're right. The situation is aggravated by the fact that in Russia there are a lot of pensioners and very few young people. The country is dying.
@@РептилоидАнархист This could be said about many countries, including my own. It's understandable for young people to seek better life elsewhere, but it's bad for their homelands...
How stupid you are ! When today's youth comes to power, they will already be old. All the young people are "for all the good, against all the bad " , but in life it's not like if you do good to someone, at the same time you always do bad to someone.
It's ok when older generation is nuts. Their time shall come. But when younger generation is nuts the country is doomed. Hopefully younger generation in Russia is not as ignorant as the older.
@@s7a7yC Russian youth policy under Putin is not competent. It's a mixture of propaganda and boredom. President Yeltsin and Medvedev fared better. And in Soviet times there were pioneers, this is not an attainable level. Today, the Internet is being destroyed in Russia, and this is the basic point. No wonder young people are with Navalny.
I live in Russia and I love the UK a lot! I thank you for your superb channel! It's really amazing.
I lived in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for 11 years. What most people of the former Soviet Union don't realize is that the rest of the world doesn't think about them at all. They think that it's an obsession with Westerners to "beat Russia" or whatever. But most westerners don't even consider Russia important (except when they are actively at war or whatever).
That isn't to say that the western governments don't consider Russia, but the public would NEVER be in support of extreme measure against Russia if they weren't declaring war, etc. Russians think the CIA and the US government are involved in all sorts of plots, and they probably do finance opposition in Russia and a hundred other countries, but Russia is not high on any priority lists.
I’ve noticed that the more authoritarian a country is, the more people name their own country as their favorite. You can see the same in the US, the Republican Party voters (right wing) will easily make US as their favorite while more left leaning democrat voters are more likely to name other countries around the world .
It was a little sad to hear that last girl speak. Imagine living in a country where the default mindset is to distrust the motives of everyone around you. I remember my father telling me, "Around every corner, there is someone who wants to help you." Not in Russia, apparently.
no need to draw conclusions about the country only on the comment of one girl. In fact, there are many people here who are ready to help you at any moment. Yes, there are individuals who treat everyone with distrust, but mostly they are those who were brought up in the nineties and the crisis that arose after the collapse of the USSR.
Russia's future lies with the young generation, and not with these outdated cold war relics who are currently in power. Until they and their mindsets are gone, Russia will not be able to move forward and catch up with the rest of us.

Its completely bizarre that Russia is hunting out Ukrainian "nationalists" while promoting Russian nationalism. It makes less than no sense that for a Ukrainian to be patriotic is a crime, but for a Russian to not be patriotic is also a crime. As if Ukrainians don't have the right to be proud of their country and Russians don't have the right to not be proud of their country. If any Russians reading this could help me understand this disconnect, and why Russians are right and Ukrainians are wrong for loving their country, please let me know.
Very simple, the kremlin told them so.
You must be kidding, are not you?
Where did you learn that in Russia not to be patriotic is any kind of crime? Just a few years ago term patriot in Russia was insult meaning slightly stupid person.
If you love your country it's ok, but if you start to kill Russians, it's no ok. That's what bandera scum started in 2014 (Odessa massacre happened just a 9 days before Lugansk and Donetsk referendums, and greatly increased amounts of "separatists" support) and Ukrainians did nothing to stop it. Do you know, that 1/3 of Russian army in Ukraine consist of Ukrainians, and quite a lot of Ukrainian journalists and politicians now totally support Russian army? Im not even talking that governor of Nikolayev openly said that he suspect EVERY citizen of his city as proRussian.
May be you simply dont know some things about this conflict, which mainstream medias do not show you, isn't it?
Your all look over Russia is quite insane, you live in fantasy world, Russians are typical Europeans, they are not people from other planet.
One of the most popular motto in Ukraine since 2013 (even before Crimea) was 'Kill Russians with knifes". If you think it's ok (they just love their country), just change Russians to Jews to realize full deepness of your misunderstanding.
there is nothing wrong with nationalism, but when it is based on hatred of another nationality, this raises questions
It's not like they don't give Ukrainians the right to be patriotic and love their country. They don't give them the right to be Ukrainians and have a country.

Nationalism invariably means thinking that your country is superior to others. It is not to be confused with patriotism.
Im from Russia and i love scandinavian countries omg, i wish i could visit them one day ! I also dream about traveling to Brasil
Brasil is awsome.
You cant visit them until putin is gone and you fix Ukraine
You can come but hopefully your country doesn't make you to :/
Good luck on Brazil, you’ll need it
I live in Norway. Since the 24th of February, it will be harder for you to visit us than before. I just hope that if you decide to visit us, you will be mindful of your attitudes towards the war in Ukraine and other actions done by the criminal regime in the Kremlin. Some Russian tourists have harassed Ukrainians abroad or been rude to the locals. I'm not implying that's something you'd do, I'm just saying that we are vigilant about these issues now.
I think there is a difference between the country you love most and the ones you consider your favourites. That is, if you are not indoctrinated to believe your country is something it is not. Home is always home whether you like it or not. It can be a bit like an abusive parent, sometimes, in that you might not like how it functions and you know you get bullied by it but it made you what you are and you love it for that. A favourite country though is a place that fulfils all your dreams. Has what makes you feel good, weather, or exotic beaches, or is full of colour and energy, or has landscapes to die for or food you can delight in. There’s a difference. Quite a big one, because you can love your country even if you are thoroughly ashamed of it. You can also love it enough to criticise it or disagree with its actions when it is wrong. The kind of thing again we might do with a parent whether they are good or bad, we can still criticise if it is wrong. It is odd to me to see people who I am pretty sure actually do have reservations about their nation just go on automatic when they are asked a question which in their minds should not be asked let alone answered. What a social destroyer it must be!
Really well said. There definitely is a distinction. Usually 1420 is very good in how they phrase their questions. This one kind of missed the mark. Maybe it was just a language error.
Exactly as you say, things are complex!
The reason why I didn't like (!?) Russians, is why they chose Putin as president the first time in about year 2000! He didn't have a "white" background at all!
There use to be much talk of maffia bosses all over the world, but P. is second to none, totally in a class of its own. That's why the fall will be fom a very high height! Will he survive?
In the middle of the 1990ies he was very close to be put in jail, because of his businesses/robberies...
About 2008-9, I think, I thought about visiting Mikhail Khodorkovski when he was in jail, because I knew where he was imprisoned, and it wasn't very far away. I visited this small town/village in 2006.
What should I say more?
The latest president elections in USA show also how easy it is to indoctrinate people, to spread fake news. USA is no exception, far from that! But at least I expect more from the Americans! I have, I think, about 100(!) not very distant relatives there... and one close that works at the Apple HQ, and the biggest(?) owner lives just around the corner.
I hope people think twice before they put their votes next time. Think big! Things that are important for the country, are probably good for you too.
Home is wherever you make it, not where you were born with no control over.
In Russia, of course, there are many problems. But what country has no problems at all? But in Russia there really is a lot of good things, for which you love her, not only because this country is your homeland.
If you exclude Russia, then I like Norway. I was there once. I liked the climate (I don’t like it when it’s hot), I liked the nature (the sea and the fjords), I liked that Oslo is a small and not overcrowded city without traffic jams and 99% of the houses are no higher than the fifth floor. People are also friendly and beautiful with wheaten hair.
But even in Russia there are seas, mountains and small, not overpopulated cities. I dream of moving from Moscow to Zelenogradsk and settling in a house on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
Let's be fair and say that the people of all 3 big superpowers - Russia, USA and China - are indoctrinated. They all often brag how their country is "the greatest in the world. Couldn't be further from the truth.
Totally relate to the last girl's remarks. My experience exactly.
I have a Russian friend that emigrated to New Zealand 30 years ago as a young woman. A few years back she took a friend for a trip through Russia, on her return she said she felt watched the entire time she was there.

It is interesting that Germans would probably rarely name Germany as their favorite country but a lot of Russians naming Russia. Shows how nationalistic some countries are (same for China, India, USA, etc.).
Come on, liking the country you grew up in best, or that you even deliberately chose to live in, is hardly "nationalist" by itself.
Theoretically nothing. But if your country is Putinistan 2022, everything.
Agree with you. Germans are usually no nationalists. E.g. my favorite countries are Canada, Thailand and Switzerland. It's not Germany, but I'm German.

Russia is a very interesting country with a differentiated culture. I know Moscow, Saint Peterburg, Nizhni Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, Ekaterimburg, Anapa, Sochi... I know Crimea up and down but I won't say is Russia despite what history tells, they don't deserve to keep it. I learned Russian for many years and know lots of Russians. What they lack is freedom and self-criticism, but many there don't value it, they prefer what they think is a strong leader to keep the country strong. They also think politics is not for them and that the government is the one to think and decide. Surely they are patriotic, but sometimes in a very bad sense, justifying anything their government tells them. I think Russia has the disgrace of having their historical development stopped by communism and they could not resume their evolution towards becoming a free country yet. They have culture and intelligence, as any Western christian country had, but they were cut off from their natural path to be a really great and free country.
and every time in history certain changes were introduced from outside, communism was thought up and it seems that it was Western leaders who instilled in Russia.
"I know Crimea up and down but I won't say is Russia despite what history tells, they don't deserve to keep it."
History says Crimea is Ukrainian (and Tatar).
@@daark1799 That's very typical of the Russian mindset, to think the rest of countries plot against Russia. The times of the Cold War are over and only the paranoia survives in Russia because it is a useful tool for Putin. Millions of Russian tourists came to Spain, my Russian teachers lived here for many years and NEVER had a problem, they were welcomed. Even today there is no problem with Russians as citizens. Wake up.
@@РоманПопов-ч6щ And the Soviet Union collapsed. I met Valentina Tereshkova in the Russian embassy in Madrid once but still, Russian mindset is that of sacrificing everything for military might and propaganda, but eventually they lost the space race. I would not be proud of some feats or of the communism when many families lived in the same communalka, sharing only one toilet. And millions and millions of people died starved or stayed in force labor camps of the state (gulag). Waiting list of years to receive a flat... No, no good life for the real potential and resources of Russia, but without understanding of individual freedom is impossible. Corruption kills potential and is used by those in power, who rob you. I have seen the average living standard of Russians in Russia, and it is not the same as that of any European country. Oligarchs are not so many and surely they are not patriotic enough to share their wealth with other Russians
@@РоманПопов-ч6щ Всего перечисленного можно было бы добиться и без коммунистов, при этом сохраняя десятки миллионов жизней, русскую культуру и христианскую мораль общества.

Very few people from East Germany can speak Russian fluently. They were forced to learn Russian and most didn't like it - so were their skills. Most of them only remember some words and very basic phrases today. Merkel is one of the few exceptions, but she never spoke Russian in public since she became Chancellor, maybe her skills are not that good either. ;-)

Sending love to all of Russia!
Hugs from USA 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
asking people who have never been to another country as they are poor and now with sanctions they never will
That guy on the left at 5:25 is a KGB agent. No doubt about that.
Классно!) снимай побольше видео из других стран, интересно посмотреть
Guy saying high morality almost made me spit out my coffee.
Sure dude, enjoy your VERY MORAL gay parades and ,, freedom " if such thing even exists.
Why?
I'm surprised none of them said China which is their closest ally now, and that nobody said Ukraine, which they apparently like so much they're trying so hard to conquer it.
Никто не пытается завоевать Украину. Зачем нам их долги, пусть платят сами.
I love how every time this question comes there are people who laugh and say/joke
- "RUSSIA" 😀
- "Why?"
- "Uhh.."😐
Awww... i really liked the leopard hairstyle A LOT😄🤌🏻
01:55, 02:57 and maybe other ones: believe me, these are NOT german locals (as you stated in 01:27).
True, only two of those he interviewed were german.🤣

@@kota20058Kitakinki I have no problem with your opinion, but your opinion has nothing to do with my reply which I posted here initially ("Not all interviewed people are german locals"). Please read my reply again, then you understand:

Japan is nice, but I really like Brazil too. Both have great people, but in different ways. Japanese are super nice and helpful, but it takes a bit to really warm up to them. Brazilians, on the other hand, are super warm and fun-loving. But Brazil has problems that Japan doesn't.

@Sheikh Shaq Trains. If you know you know
@Sheikh Shaq I don't think racism is unusual in homogeneous countries/regions.
In most European countries you can't see if a person come from Denmark or Norway, or Germany or France. On the other hand you can see if the person come from Middle East or northern Africa, and then you think that they can do anything...
In Helsinki one of the deputy mayors is a young Afghan lady (born in Afghanistan) and then you think the Afghan people are quite good guys!
I know from Sweden, as I have lived there for 35 years that you have difficulties to get, a good job, if your name is "strange". It doesn't not matter if you are born in Sweden or not. When they see your name on the application they put it to the side.
If the same person present it self with a genuine Swedish name, he/she is called for an interview! That's not very good at all, and the address where you live make it even worse!
All with strange names are not affected, but it is sad as it is.
When people moved to America 100-150 years ago, many or most(?) changed their names. That's why Pamela Anderson isn't Pamela Hyytyäinen (Finnish)! And the mother of Matt Damon isn't Carlsson-Pajari (Swedish/Finnish) instead Nancy Carls(s)on-Paige!
🇧🇷🇯🇵
@Sheikh Shaq It depends on what you mean by racism and homogeneous? When I think of Europe, I firstly think of EU (and UK), and the rest is eastern Europe. Then I don't think I live in northern Europe, I live in a Nordic country or in two Nordic countries. What do you call it when people don't like that you talk an other language or if you speak with a different accent?
I'm learning more about Russia with each passing day or week. But, the last comment about betrayal may explain why Russia (or the Russian leadership) is so leery of NATO. They think it's an aggressive organization, but it's not. So, thousands and thousands of people are dying because of this misconception.
Russian leadership aint delusional about NATO, their population is.
@@vi9397 Viewed neutrally, NATO is a defense alliance. It doesnt invade other countries without permission of UN and its not obligated to do so unless member being under attack.
And please dont list/lecture USA invasions they are 2 different things. One is institution one is country (i know they are same to you, but they are not)
@@vi9397 Have you ever even tried understand backstory or some explanation what lead into this Yugoslavia thing? I havent watch these videos and i know nothing about Yugoslavia but i think you should. If you still blame NATO for everything i cant help you.

@@niklasleandr Got an argument to back that assertion up?
@@vi9397 So let's have some examples of NATO aggression from its 73 year history. We'll compare it with instances of Russian aggression from the Putin era.
1:12 „high morality“ :D :D
North Korea, of course. They try hard to become NK 2.
