Eli is a very charming person and she is basically unpolitical. You should stop doing this kind witch hunting against her. What you do is very shameful.
no way. It seems oyu haven't look well on her videos aobut his family. She is the daughter of a military veteran(now defunct) who introduced her as promoting spetnaz, victory parade, and military is fully ally of Putin nowadays. She also hosted two weird interviews with a usa dissident tim Kirby, substancially promoting Putin's agenda.
@@AndreaBorto When we review why and where the British Empire attacked Russia in Crimea,
we can see that then as now the attack came from the West.
Putin as a KGB Analyst appears to understand the economic and sociological motivations for the G-7 attack that appears once again.
Any casual study of Russian History does reveal several attempts by Western Europe to gain access to Russian Assets.
Hitler was given a harsh lesson,
British Smartypants Yoohootubers should consider that fact?
@@danielhutchinson6604 seems you are twisting history for a purpose. Russia was first attacked by Napoleon when raw resources we need today were in little use. It was mainly a Napoleon's wish to punish the zar and expanding french empire . Then the west helped the white faction again the bolsheviks. Then the west HELPED Stalin against the nazi attack, the ONLY time russia was really attacked with a genocide wish and for its resources. After than, peace and free markets allowed the west to have access to cheap russian oil gas and other goods. Then the west renounced to russian oil becaise its profits finance the war in Ukraine. De facto nobody is dreaming of attacking Russia for its stuff, all the opposite: we are trying to leave them alone. This is a fact, you can't deny or twist it. Then if you think 2014 euromaidan was a coup d'etat, I ask you if it was normal of moscow put his puppets since 1991 to 2014 in ukraine. The truth is the only imperialist agent here ard the Muscovites.
Come on now! Be serious. Eli's channel is pure Kremlin propaganda.
If you can see through the propaganda the videos are enjoyable enough though untruthful
She herself may be charming...So?
@@daydays12 Basically her channel is not political. People like you cannot accept the fact that she do not denounce the russian regime with it's war in Ukraine. Deal with it. This is your problem. Ne need to condemn anybody on this basis.
You forgot to mention the annexation by Stalin of Bukovina and Bessarabia back in 1940 from Romania
For Conor's education - it was when the USSR stole North Bucovina and Bessarabia from Romania that Romania decided to join the Nazi cause. It might be that Antonescu was predisposed to join the Nazi's because he himself was (as far as I know) ultra-right-wing, and was able to accept the Legionnaires into the government (only to eject them a couple months later when they tried to overthrow the government). Another aspect is that Romanians have been fighting for survival against Slavs for hundreds of years.
@@DavidHerron nothing to do with the Nazi cause, more to do with the Ribbentrop- Molotov pact when Hitler took a big of Transilvania and Stalin Bukovina and Bessarabia , 2 thugs redrawing the borders of Europe as they wanted.
“On June 24, Nazi Germany, which had acknowledged the Soviet interest in Bessarabia in a secret protocol to the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, had been made aware prior to the planned ultimatum but did not inform the Romanian authorities and was willing to provide support”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_occupation_of_Bessarabia_and_Northern_Bukovina
He also forgot to mention the persecution and murder of Jewish people in Romania under the pro German WW2 Romanian regime.
Romania and Bulgaria then joined the Red Army in 1944 and took part in the conquests of Budapest and Hungary and Vienna and Austria.
How man nations did America annex ? Hawaii? Where else ?
The successor to the Polish Home army continued on resistance to Soviet oppression until the early 1960's. In post war Soviet films they are the bad guys - the bandits. But Andrzej Wajda's early films give an alternate view, particularly the classic Ashes and Diamonds. Some of the Ukrainian films give an inkling of the complexities of a country in effectively a civil war among nationalists, Soviets and Romanians. I doubt many countries have historically unwilling suffered so much at the hands of others than Ukraine and Poland. Until you have visited these countries you cannot really appreciate the true meaning of horror.
Largest percentage of any population lost during WW2 was the poles. 16 percent of the nation I believe. In modern day US that would've equivalent to around 60millon Americans.
The Ukrainian nationalists massacred 100,000 Poles in 1943/44 in Galicia and elsewhere
Important also to note that hundreds of thousands fought alongside the Red Army too in WW2.
The Czechoslovakian Legion who liberated Kiev with the Red Army, Berling’s 200,000 strong Polish Pro Communist Army, the Belarusian and Jewish Partizans, the Bulgarian army that was involved in the capture of Vienna, the Yugoslav Partizan army, the Greek Partizans and the Romanian’s who fought with the Red Army in Hungary.
Even the Finns changed sides in 1944 and ‘booted’ the Germans out.
As a percentage, you're doing great! That is, not enough Soviet people died? In total, some 27 million people.......What country are you from?
You can aprecccitte the true meaning of horror un the banana republica invades by usa laike Panamá Honduras el Salvador , ir un Alepo destroyed por un any Coty of Irak , Afganistán , Vietnam , Hiroshima etc , you ass
@@rjames3981 The Russian high command ordered that massacre, you brainwashed Russian simpleton.
Before the war, I thought her travels were not super interesting, but interesting enough. However, I got off the boat when the war started and mass graves were discovered, but she was in a store complaining about how sanctions had made it a little more difficult for her to buy her favourite products.
And saying obvious lies about that the medicines are under sanctions.
Speaking like a true citizen i guess. I wonder what Americans would say if any kind of sanction hit over Iraqistan
@@paudsmcmack3117 Whataboutism much? Also, since when did the US try to annex Iraq for ethno-nationalist and later expressed genocidal reasons? Who said an American blogger complaining about hypothetical sanctions while not openly opposing the invasion that sparked them would be free from blame? You might want to rethink your moral compass, mate. All imperialism is bad, especially that which openly terrorizes civilians as its main or even only goal. Just because US bad doesn't mean Russia good. That's child logic.
@@TF_Tony I mean we just install puppet leaders for one and force an entire nation out of thin air pushing out people that have been since the crucifixion (basically creating a hatred between usa flag toting patriots and all middle eastern people) but I guess we can sit on our high horse, that was a while ago. I wonder who bombed nordstream, and just take a look at all those American politicians doing business in Ukraine. It's easy to tell somone to watch thier moral compass when yours is neglected as well. Obviously Putin is invading but we are all fools to think that's the only thing happening here. Especially when eastern allies unite
@melky dew she can complain. Because sanction working on average citizens of Russia, not Putin.
Pfft. You are just living off her fame.
I guess you are a victim of Kremlin propaganda too
Did you know that in June 2022, "Eli" joined the Russian Geographical Society (RGS), a non-governmental organisation.
For ten years, the RGS’s honorary president has been SERGEI SHOIGU, Russia’s Defense Minister during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has headed its supervisory board since 2009, which also includes prominent oligarchs and high-ranking officials. State-owned companies like Gazprom are among its partners
You refer to Eli as a 'girl'. Would you like to be described as a 'boy' making videos? I think not. She is a woman. You have the right to be critical of Eli but in doing so do not use gender as a starting point for being dismissive. It undermines your valid premise that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is wholly wrong and the Russian people should recognise how the past is being used as justification for Putin and his acolytes to wage an imperialistic war. A nostalgic lens distorts this reality and you are right to highlight this.
My word, you do have a grievance ! I wish you a happier life.
You touched on the issue of whether Russia is committing Genocide in Ukraine CURRENTLY. I have read the UN Convention on Genocide carefully, and have compared it to Russia's actions. The Convention does not focus solely on deaths, but for example creating conditions where so horrid for a population that they flee, or the act of taking children from their native population and giving them for adoption into a host population. Both are ways to eradicate a culture without taking the step of large-scale murder.
I would like to hear your take - as a lawyer who formerly worked in International Relations - on what I've just said.
And, yes, I 100% agree with you having carefully read Timofey Sergeytsev's article in Ria Novosti, that in the Russian Elite there is a call for mass scale killing and/or reeducation of Ukrainians meant to eradicate the Ukraine government/culture/language/etc, and having read carefully the Wikipedia article on Russification in Ukraine, I know that this has been a project of Russian Empire / USSR / Russian Federation for 300+ years.
When I read up on Ukrainian Nationalism in the Wikipedia - I came away not knowing about Bandera's ideology, but knowing clearly that he stood for the principle of Ukraine being ruled by Ukrainians. The red/black flag coupled with the "Blood and Soil" phrase seems to have a different meaning from the similar Nazi phrase.
Who are the Fascists? The ones who are effectively fighting to protect their government and cultural identity from aggressors? Or the ones who want to destroy another culture, believing that other culture is less-than? I think it's the latter.
I’ll make a video on this next week 👍🏻😀
Russians do their usual plan of acting all confused and innocent as if they have no idea why every single nation around Russia hates them and many despise Russia for the vast amounts of death and destruction they caused. After "liberating" half of Europe from German control Russia just replaced one type of dictatorship with another in many ways worse. The Germans system never put the entire planet at imminent risk of being murdered in nuclear war. Soviet Russia was so evil they simply had to develop nuclear weapons which they knew was a risk to all humanity, even now Russia is busy developing more nuclear weapons that could be used even though there is no situation where launching nuclear weapons is better than not using them.Even if Russia is attacked the better option for them and the world is to not launch their nuclear weapons, so there is no point in Russia having them. Its time all those Russian nukes were removed now that Russia has demonstrated they dont have the intelligence to have a single nuke, never mind thousands of them. The entire world would be so much better off not being threatened with total death and destruction twice a week by Russia.
I think its time for the Russian empire to be broken up into around 23 new nations so that the those held under the dictatorship of Moscow can at last be the masters of their own destiny and vote for a government thats not thousands of miles away. There are nothing but advantages to breaking up this evil Russian dictatorship, its better for the planet and the people under the Russian empire, the quicker the break up of Russia the better for everyone.
We should replace Putin by russian Kennedy and "post- Putin" England will become a nuclear shithole.
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience Some backyard lawyers and pettifoggers have real problems now.
"this has been a project of Russian Empire / USSR / Russian Federation for 300+ years"
To expand, Russification isn't limited to Ukraine: you see the same pattern in the Baltic states, Crimea (the Tartars), Ossetia, Transnistria and so forth.
Alas, not entirely unique to Russia either. The Swedification of Scania when annexed form Denmark was particularly brutal, but as late as in the 1960's, the pupils in Tornedalen routinely had their fingers smacked with a ruler for speaking anything but Swedish, which is the direct reason neither I nor my cousins speak meankäli as our parents did not pass that along to us.
Let us not forget the Katyn Forrest massacre a mass murder of Poles committed by the NKVD (Russians) then blamed on the Nazi's. Certainly power unrestrained by individual morality somehow leads to a policy of extermination.
Yes, the Russians denied Katyn for years, like they deny everything, just like they denied Bucha and like they are denying the non-targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure. According to the Russians, the Ukrainians are bombing their own cities. And that's how the Russian population is brainwashed by the Kremlin regime.
Those were communist jews
@@d993s The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD in April and May 1940. If they killed them because they were communists then the Russians should have considered killing themselves. If they killed them because they were "jews" then they are as bad as Nazis . Which is it ? The fact remains Marxism is responsible for millions of deaths and is as bad as Nazism.
@@snappymcburpy7629 agreed. Some people attempt to separate communists, jews, and nazis, but they are all part of the zionist plan
@@snappymcburpy7629 also, only a small % of Russians were communists, the Russians were used and demonized just as the Germans were. Read some Solzhenitsyn
Hi Conor,
Well researched and eloquently presented. Her response to that is not exactly reflective. I commented previously at one of her clips and got trolled. I speak fluent Russian and do understand wetscher.
Shit happens? What is will researched?
Well, I always suspected Eli was getting state support and encouragement on some level, if not direct monetary support, to promote Russian culture to a younger and, strangely, more western audience. And frankly before the war started, I thought she was doing a good job at it. That is why I watched and even subscribed to her channel. Initially I think she was embarrassed by Putin's bloody conceit. But by now, she has simply fallen back into her default position, which is nationalistic. Always enjoy a Connor video.
No one gets to make a UA-cam video on the Spetznaz as she did without some help and sympathy. The remarkable video that was removed from her channel once the war started.
Nationalistic what is???
National or globalist??? Mmh?
Well, she has to be careful what she says show she does not wind up on the government shit list. Drill lies that she does not have access without a VPN which I’m pretty sure she’s using one to even be on UA-cam in the first place. I remember her doing a video with Niki Proshin Who has since left Russia. She hast to be careful what she says to not land her or her family in prison
@@MattyC62185not an excuse
@@MattyC62185absolutely. Its crazy reading people supporting Conor who can say what he wants while denouncing her who lives in an authoritarian country. And whats this nonsense about her getting paid? Isnt Conor at the same gig. Every youtuber is a prostitute, selling for money. Theres plenty of rich people and governments in the West pumping money into their pet youtubers.
my grandfather was a child when WW2 happened ( around 10 years) . he lived in a village in the south of Romania and both the German and Russian army have passed through his village. He said that Germans were nice and that they really liked eggs and they would always BUY eggs from the people from the village. But when the Russians came , the people from the village would soil the girls to make them unattractive and even hide them in the attic because the risk of being raped was very high. They soviet soldiers would just TAKE their food, animals and everything they wanted . I'm not trying to endorse the Nazi Germany, but Soviet Russia was probably as worse as Nazi Germany.
That really isn't the best comparison when you consider that Romania was an ally of Germany at the start of the war, and you had a fascist leader. Still, the Red Army was made of complete savages that would rape and pillage the lands they "liberated".
My Ukrainian granny had the same experience (born 1940). She said that the Germans were extremely intimidating (mostly bc of the language) and she was scared shitless of them when they entered their house. But she admitted there was nothing to be scared of - they were as polite as they could be, given the situation, only took what's necessary and without coercion, didn't kill or torture anyone in the village. I know that German army still committed atrocities in other places, but it was still MUCH, much rarer occasion than with ruZZians today
@@Li_Tobler why would nazi germans kill and loot Ukrainians who supported them?
My great grandfather from my grandfather’s side of the family was a soldier in the Romanian army during WWII lots of interesting stories about the war. However my great grandfather’s father (my great great grandfather) was a winemaker in Romania and he said when the Russians passed through his village, the Russians would just enter into any house or establishment and took whatever they wanted. They found out about my great great grandfather’s wine cellar and they stormed in there and drank nearly all the wine from their dirty stinky boots. That’s right, they took their boots off and used them as cups. My great great grandfather also said most of them were wearing clocks around their necks for some odd reason.
Now my great great grandmother from my grandmother’s side of the family owned a small pub during WWII and she said the Russian troops drank at her pub until they were past out drunk, and surprisingly they even paid for the drinks. However they overstayed their visit and my great uncle (my great great grandmother’s nephew) was getting mad that they were still in the pub, so he grabbed a bunch of soda foam and sprayed it on all the Russian soldiers until they cleared out of the pub. My great great grandmother said she was scared for her nephew’s life when he started spraying them with foam thinking that the Russian soldiers would kill him for that, but they were so drunk that couldn’t even stand let alone put up a fight.
You fail to mentioned that Nazi Germany and Romania were allies in WW2. How many USSR citizens and soldiers did Romania troops kill and victimize during WW2? 🤔 It’s propaganda here to compare German and USSR troop attitudes towards Romanians during WW2. Bottom line is many young males pump up with blood lust of war are going to victimize their enemies regardless of national origin. Even America the so called greatest military on Earth has had many incidents of it’s soldiers committing war crimes in Iraq and Vietnam.
As for Ellie perhaps she is trying to make everyone in the world outside of Russia become aware that the huge continent of Russia has many cultures, the most of which we are ignorant of. But all these people on that large continent are in the land of far away and themselves kept ignorant
Eli is stable;
she is apolitical when its comfortable
and she is nationalist also when it's comfortable
Most of ppl in central europe know that well describes most of russians.
I've watched a few of her travel videos and are really good. She doesn't hide things like the poor standards of living or avoids the more undersirable districts. The Real Russian Club done a really good video called propoganda explained which explains the ramping up of the Victory day propoganda in recent years and the effects on the people.
Thanks for recommending the Real Russian Club video on Victory Day. It was very candid about how Putin has perverted the day into a celebration of militaristic aggression. Yes, Daria can express her disgust because she is now in Colorado not Russia. But Niki Proshin who is still in Russia made exactly the same point in his Victory Day video live from Moscow! Niki finds a way of being critical of Putin while minimising the risk to himself. Eli on the other hand not only shows no criticism of Putin or the invasion whatsoever, her videos that address the special operation are super defensive and self-pitying and constantly accuse westerners of Russophobia.
She is great.
This guy has a clear problem.
He also seems to believe that only Russians are fed lies about WW2, etc. WHICH IS A JOKE, right??
For him West is the free world , the world of truths, that didn´t raped Africa, the Americas, Asia and india for centuries and Holomodor some secret that no one knows about...
And, seriouly, Eli has the right of loving her country.
By the way; take a look at " Lost in Moscow" youtube channel, it is FANTASTIC.
Shit happens? Which conditions?
@@pauldove966 that’s a fair assessment of her videos. I don’t condemn her for that though, she is Russian after all and it is difficult to admit that your country has been turned into a shit hole by ruthless fascists, but she should just stick to her travel vlogs. Her timid comments on Russias assault on Ukraine are helping nobody.
@@pauldove966 Are you going to pretend there is no Russophobia? When commentators on social media frequently refer to Russian conscripts as "Orks". Nazi dehumanising langusge. You can be anti Russian, but at least lets be honest.
A number of those cannons were gifted to Australia and I have seen a pair of them in Centennial Park in Sydney. These cannons had been used in the defense of Sevastopol in 1854 and 1855. The Russians had scuttled eight major warships to protect the harbour. Nearly 700 ships cannon from these warships were removed and became additional artillery located in defensive redoubts around Sevastopol.
But guns at Point Nepean that protect Port Philip bay that leads to Melbourne have a sign saying they were installed in early 1900,s to counter the threat of Russian invasion 😃
A you Tuber with 350K subscribers says what’s necessary to maintain the growth of the Chanel , why poke the bear when the You Tube income funds a nice Lifestyle
@@macmakka8214 I would say that bear has had a few pokes in her lifetime.
I just want to say...WOW!!! What a great source of objective info this channel is. And, I always have the exact feeling about Eli from Russia. She is a girl who doesn't feel any remorse and never show any empathy with what is happening in Ukraine, and someone who will feel very comfortable talking about the last fashion trend in Paris or London in the middle of a funeral without any problem :-( Thank you very much for your work.
Yep she is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I am mixed about Eli..
I had been watching her travel videos around Russia before the invasion of Ukraine.
She makes some very good ones.
I didn't think that she was political.
Most people have a pride in their country.. maybe take for granted what they are taught about their country's history etc without putting thought into it.
She did interview a horror of a foreigner in Russia who was stomach churching in his attitude to Ukraine and his support for it's destruction by Putin.
She let him speak but later did a joint video with another Russian vlogger who has since left the country and they discussed that interview because she got a lot of hate comments and accused of bring financed by the government or tourist board and a supporter of the war.
She described how she has always been totally self made instead and self supporting.
I keep in mind when assessing Russians that many are non political, don't get involved, as most people don't in other countries, and if they do they risk fines, loss of jobs or possible imprisonment.
How many Russians, not exposed by their job on social media, have just continued doing their job, living their lives, and if they are against the invasion of Ukraine don't say it for those reasons but are not cancelled for it because they are not online figures?
There seems a huge divorce in Russia between the political gangster rulers and elites and the ordinary civil society. People seem to just get on with their lives and avoid what the government may or may not be doing and public debate cannot happen.
Is Eli just doing that? Like probably most Russians?
Just continuing with her video job as always?
Is she guilty for not becoming a political opposition vlogger instead?
I don't know the answer.
Am I to judge her on that?
It's often easy for people in safe places, not directly affected by what is going on in another country to judge others.. others who may have to tread a fine line we don't fully know about.. between family, job, public and private survival requirements... Maybe not possible to talk about certain matters without falling out with family.. or even having to leave your country possibly never able to return.. as we know many Russians have been forced to do losing everything..
How many in Europe or North America would be willing to do that?
I don't know what Eli's views truly are on the invasion of Ukraine and I don't feel I can make a judgement of her apparent apolitical stance, or silence on political matters in Russia.. I'm not the one who would be putting my livelihood at risk - or possibly rejection by family if they are brainwashed by propaganda - by making an anti government statement if those are my feelings.
In comparison I know people not under the dangers of speaking out in the West and who could inform themselves but who have been brainwashed by Ritter and Redacted into believing the Putin propaganda about Ukraine.. which shocks and appals me..
Who is more guilty eh?
@@shooster5884 Yeah, but she has on her own made statements about "Russophobia" and the like, which we all know is the propaganda creation of the Kremlin. Any dislike of Russia in the West is the direct result of its actions, and there is no independent phenomenon of "Russophobia". She makes her income from UA-cam, so will not directly state her position as it would lose her 90% of her revenue, but her position is clear nevertheless.
Eli seems very unbiased ! Very neutral and she loves Russia ! This guy is a punk !
Eli is very normal ! Should she cry for Ukraine while Ukraine shows her men being blown up ?
@@rykson161 Eli tries to appear unbiased, it's true. But her bias is very evident. She had a whole video on the non-existent phenomenon of "Russophobia" for example.
Hi Conor. I'm also watching Russian bloggers living in Spanish speaking countries and all of a sudden, they seem to have been activated as Russian propagandists.
They can be split into 2 categories: the ones that are directly supporting the Russian politics (usually they made videos regarding the 9th of may filled with patriotism) and others that are ambiguous and don't adopt a clear tone.
For day-to-day news from Russia I watch the subtitled videos of Maxim Katz - he has a very clear position. I also watch the videos of Ilya Varlamov: he's a bit nostalgic for the Soviet Union, mocks the current politics and realities of Russia and criticizes (although on a more subtle tone) Putin's war.
This is a great video, I stopped watching her videos not long after the war started. It became obvious that she was pro ru. This video has given a lot of context! Thanks
Mmh, globalist Empire against multipolarism. Mmh
Ditto re: done with her videos once she started taking about the war.
Almost all of them are... Even if they pretend otherwise.
@@v1das007 Ukronazis will be abolished.
she is Russian , what do
you mean she is pro Russia ?
Russia did not win the war by itself. Russia likes to ignore the fact that the Western Allies had to commit huge naval and air resources to keep supply routes open, keep Japan off Russia's back and deny Germany important metals,oil and access to Russia''s back door. The strategic air war gave Germany no other choice than to put most of it''s resources into air defence, keeping a vast amount of materiel away from the Russian front. Russia relied on US vehicles for transport and the aircraft they received could have been enough to tip the scales. Stalin was so concerned about the narrative that he had the labels changed on American rations. Basically, Russia only had to operate in one theatre thanks to the Western Allies.
Everything is clear with you...That is, if it were not for the Americans, the USSR would have lost the war...America likes to appropriate victories for itself. Most Americans and Europeans think that it is not Russia but the Western allies who won the war, naturally led by the glorious United States....Young Japanese are often told that the Russians dropped atomic bombs on them, not the USA.....
Russia and Germany were collaborating long before 1939.
Nope, the USSR did have commercial and military agreements with the Weimar Republic but not with nazi Germany. This until the non-aggression pact that occurred right after the Munich agreements where Chekoslovakia was broken up by Nazi Germany and picked off by Poland.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣u
Yes they were, before the ziocons ruined everything
Poland is the enemy of Europe

Conor, how much do you know about Bandera to claim that the nationalists took part in the Holocaust?
Check out the Babi Yar massacre, the Lviv Pograms (and also the massacre of 100,000 Poles by Ukrainian nationalists in 1943/44 in Galicia)
She claims her videos are not a Russian propaganda. If her video about Grozny, this story of a Thousand and One Nights, is not a Russian propaganda, then I don't know what is.
I have watched these Russian interviews Russian street interviews for three months now, and I must tell you, while many of you seem sweet and inoffensive, there's no way I can't notice, NO ONE IS BOMBING THE STREETS YOU ARE FILMING ON. Or ANYWHERE in Russia. That no one since WW2 has actually invaded Russian soil, even then when YOU THOUGHT that included countries that have since decided, since the WALL fell, they wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. That they were sovereign countries. Yet, you have repeatedly attacked them. And the West has, stupidly chosen to look the other way. For various reasons, often civil war .BUT NOW, YOUR , AND I REPEAT, YOUR GOVERNMENT, has gone WAY TOO FAR. Ukrain was SUPPOSED to be a sister country. But from Feb 24, YOU HAVE BEEN, for ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, NOT JUST NAZI GERMANY, but so much WORSE than Nazi GERMANY.
SO ...all you "supposedly sweet people. I have to notice.. you are ALL IN CITIES where the western ECONOMIC influence, and affluence, are happening. The Russian boys that are dying, many horribly, burned to death in tanks, ARE ALL RURAL. The economic blooming of Russia never made it to RURAL RUSSIA. That is 5/6 of Russia. Most are economically desperate. The military seen as the only economic way out for THEIR FAMILY. THOSE ARE THE RUSSIAN BOYS, DYING HORRIBLY IN UKRAIN. But ALL OF YOU, FAT AND HAPPY IN THE CITIES...are unaffected by this. THE DEAD, ON BOTH SIDES. ARE STILL...DEAD. Your lack of interest only affects...their friends and loved ones. Because, you seem to feel, there is no end to...poor Russian boys. SO WHY SHOULD IT AFFECT YOU. IN WW2 Stalin threw Russian bodies against the Germans, until the Germans ran out of ammunition. Only the soldiers at the front had guns. The ones at the back were told "take the guns off the dead". What the hell makes you think you're NOT the guys at the back??? And since when did you become a country when POOR RUSSIAN BOYS ARE NOT YOU ???
@@andrewp8675THE WEST ONLY BOMBS PEOPLE WHO BOMB US FIRST. We are, for the most part, too busy going to parties and living our lives, to bomb anyone else. Plus, we think, for the most part, a lot of you are...nuts.So we try really hard not to spread ourselves too thin. Possibly, we might have another look at you. But I doubt it. There are just so many people AHEAD of you.
You are right sir or Miss. I am sorry for my governments involvement. You are a peaceful people and we are in the wrong. I am truly sorry.
@@JohnBuck-rc5te I'd like to explain something, since you seem a fair man, and receptive. No one except for Napolean and Hitler, has ever been stupid enough to think invading Russia was a good idea. And they lost. Badly.
And inspite of the paranoia carefully nutured by all you past leaders, to unify Russian people against a common enemy, to take their mind off their REAL problems....
...There is NO ONE in the West who spends any time plotting to invade your. country. It is not even remotely a "thing", much less part of our culture. I would have noticed.
The two World Wars were ghastly for everyone. Europe and America were determined that the human race would, FINALLY, never make that mistake agiain. Nuclear War was unthinkable, to the sane.
We would learn, also finally, to play nicely with others. As well as insure the safety of those now civilized enough to agree to this. Nice often comes off as weak, to a would be aggressor. The EU and NATO agreements, as well as others across the World, would be mostly ALL ABOUT THAT.
Unfortunately Russian leaders took exception to that. Communism they decided, would consume the World. So there was STILL someone who would destroy our way of life. I don't mean perfect. We are hardly that. But we try.
The Cold War years were terrifying. The posibility of Nuclear War should terrify anyone.
And if you look at a map of the time, you'll see, In sheer land mass alone, Russian influence, Communism, China included, seemed to be winning. In Asia, Africa, and South America. Our President Kennedy would see Russian Nukes in Cuba, right on our doorstep. Much smaller proxy Wars would be fought because of it. We won in South Korea. We lost in Vietnam.
It was 20 yrs between WW1and WW2. IT would be 40 yrs till 1990. And it was an uneasy peace, held together mostly with glue. We ALL knew that.
So it was with great relief in the West, when the WALL fell. Frankly, we were as startled as you. But you might listen to a Rock song at that time, that sums up our hopes for Russia, and Russians. It's"Winds of Change". It's poignant and sweet.
America has an extroidinary habit of extending a hand to former enemies, fairly quickly. A sort of all's forgiven lets move forward. Possibly because we are such a polyglot of nationalities. Or maybe because it is most practical.Japanese and Germans would be far better off, inspite of actually LOSING.. They would have a new very beneficial, direction. And they would run with it.
This would be Russia, we thought.
Putin would play Mr Nice Guy, to the World. Russia was in tatters, with hopes but no real direction, or idea how to get there.
Putin saw Russia seriously needed both Foreign investment, and foreign expertise. Unlike Germany or Japan, capitalism was not only an alien concept, but illegal.You were clueless.
We gave you McDonald's. They never expected a profit.They were too far from their wholesale supply line. It was illegal to take rubles out of Russia, anyway.
But McDonald's said, Hi. We are America. We are not scary. We are fun. We are only hamburger. You'll like us.
And you did.
McDonald's would be followed by others, and an introduction to the wonders of capitalism. Goods unheard of before A better, more comfortable life.
There would be, we thought, a real possibility of World Peace. Of leaders with shared goals and values. Of mutual commerce that would bind us together.
But Putin would play MR NICE GUY, until he didn't. Moldova and Georgia weren't NATO members.There was little we could do. But that would be a dress rehearsal for the invasion of Ukraine.
But, unlike the other two, Ukraine was in a position to fight back, themselves. "I don't need a ride out," Zalenski said. "I need ammunition."
Which is where we are now.
Connor I really appreciate how you how you have gave me and your viewers an education of the history of the Soviet Union during WW2 and compared it to todays war in the Ukraine and compassionately used Eli’s video to explain the Russian mentality of today. This video illustrates how intelligent you are and what drew me to your channel in the beginning. I applaud you on this video and I wish you continued success.
hear, hear, well said 👍 The Russian BOTs are going nuts 😆 they hate to hear the truth, it ruffles them so much that their only defenses are insults and scorn.
Important to note that the Soviets (led by a Georgian) only did a deal with Germany after their offer of a common front against Germany was rejected.
In 1938 (despite France and Britain backing down at Munich) the Soviets continued to offer military assistance to Czechoslovakia including 700 fighter aircraft and parachute regiments (if requested). This they hoped would force Germany to back down. Germany was weaker in 1938 than a year later. (Partly because they took all the Czechoslovakian military equipment)
Despite interest from the Czechoslovakian military the civilian government refused the Soviet offer, and simultaneously Poland attacked Czechoslovakia along with Germany. (Poland took 3 regions and already occupied the southern 3rd of Lithuania inc. Vilnius)
Realising they couldn’t trust Poland or the West the Soviets did a deal with Germany.
@@alexandros4703 Thanks appreciate it.
@@rjames3981 What's this, a history lecture?
I think this clown is just upset because Russia killed or captured all of his azov nazi buddies🤣🤣
I wouldn’t say that the Soviet Union collaborated. They both knew that they needed more time to prepare for a war.
Agreeing to divide the territories in between before invading from opposite sides (secret protocols to the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact) is clearly a form of 'collaborating' don't you think?

Wut M1 Abrahams Tank doing?
She states her entire UA-cam Channel was demonetized on April 7th, 2023.
I dont begrudge your latest content creation tactic, i.e dropping names of popular youtubers in the title to get clicks. You're a content creator, you have to try stay relevant somehow, I get it. However, I think you're doing a very weak and disingenuous job to be brutally honest. You are essentially gas lighting these young youtubers because they are Russian while showing no understanding of their content over a period of years and the current situation they find themselves in.
I follow both Roman and Eli as well as several other Russian youtubers going back years. FYI there's another young Russian youtuber called Natasha's Adventures who has probably portrayed a braver more anti war outlook in her videos if that's what you're after. Ironically the you tuber you compared Roman against actually did leave Russia and did heavily redact comments and did boot people from his live chats for using the "w" word and not calling it a "special military operation". He also done quiet a lot of "moaning about the price of stuff after sanctions" videos. I understand completely why he done it, he needs to create content to earn money and also protect himself but you calling out Roman while pointing out this other guy as a better example just shows how little research you yourself done before putting your own video out. It reflects bad on your own credibility.
I also found comparing your own potential business move into Russia before the war to Romans situation completely outrageous. You are not making the same "hard choices". He is Russian, he lived there, has family there and his sole means of making a living is youtube content. Lets just say he has a lot more skin in the game than you and has a lot more to lose. It's not like he can just pack up and go to Galway when the going gets tough. Maybe you should head over to Russia and make anti war content from a rented apartment in a Russian city?
I really think you should stick to criticizing the likes of Gonzalo Lira and stop picking on young genuine Russians with mostly western outlooks who are doing their best to make a living under really difficult circumstances. At the very least, if you're going to do a hit piece on these guys at least watch all their content instead of cherry picking a few seconds of footage to justify putting their names in the title of your own video. Their content is a hell of a lot better and more valuable socially than cringey dating advice videos IMO.
As a fellow Irishman I want to see you do well but videos like this make it hard for me to support you. I mean you probably could have made the same video and raised the same points without making it a hit piece on Eli but you went for the click bait option at her expense for your own benefit.
P.s I also loved bald and Simons Syrian video, hopefully these guys can keep creating interesting content so you can keep piggy backing on their coat tails.
his pimp business is not doing too well recently. no one of his beta male clients is willing to spend money on his pic up artist tactics to get one of the ua money sucking whores. so you need to understand.
Yes Natasha produces more anti-war stuff. She talks of leaving Russia. Conor's analysis of Eli's judgement is warranted. This isn't a hit piece on Eli...
@@VL1975 it is 100% valid criticism esp cause she help Ukraine refugees and against war as stated many times.
@@VL1975 i agree
Great video! Thanks for your work. I was wondering where you'd make a video about her. The reality is, the Soviet KGB soldiers killed a whole lot of people in Western Ukraine, and it's all documented. Archives were declassified and a good historian Mark Solonin talked at length about it, offering scanned Soviet documents on his youtube channels.. We know the names of those KGB officers and Soviet Army officers that abducted people, tortured and killed them. In some cases the offending officers were also served notices of suspicion and met the same fate. Usually what was enough was a simple anonymous complaint by someone - called a "donos". Funnily enough the same practice is being observed right now in Russia against those who do not adhere to the current "party narrative"...
Ok, I hadn't seen that. It would have been interesting to have cross-referenced Eli's grandfather's name with that list of killers ... 😬
You are sarcastic about the liberation, I am not Russian nor do I support Putin or the Russian government, however are you suggesting that its was better during the nazi rule ?
Whether it was ‘better’ under Nazi or Soviet rule depended on who you were … both were objectively awful …
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience yes of course if you ask the Roma, people the jeweish people that were eradicated .... ofc not ...

I am aware of the people that died under the Goulags of Stalin ,,, However account all the people that died by the axis power it was not a nice thing ..
Eli also did a video of Koningsberg after the Poles stopped calling it by the Soviet name
I strongly disagree with you in the specific sense that you falsely claim that supposedly Eli is supporting Russian government war or vice versa.
She is not into politics at all.
She focuses on strictly promoting her culture the Russian culture and wants to show world wide the positive aspect of Russia and what her people values.
Victory day was way long before the invasion of Russian government and Russian army against Ukraine.
Victory day originally all Slavic countries united in an effort to defeat the Nazis to protect Slavic families.
However unfortunately the Russian government now is trying to politicize Victory day.(but Eli did not say that)
As for spetznaz it was not because of Ukraine invasion.
I asked her to make a video of it back then.
She did made the video to show me what is like in Spetznaz.
She is not promoting war nor otherwise
She never made official statement about the war.
That being said.
I am against the war itself.
There is something you specifically addressed which is true that Nazis and Communists in earlier part before world war 2 started were working themselves together for the socialist cause although different approaches.
However Eli never promoted nor wanted to politicize anything in her videos.
For her point of view, victory day is important because her grandfather went to defend the Slavic people.
She is a personal friend of mine.
Many people misundersood her
She is very goodwill and has friends from Ukraine.
She is not into politics she said it several times.
Do not blame her.
You cannot blame her.
When she created those particular videos was because i asked her.

@@DemitriLakes i never said those particular elements you wrote (racism, colianism, slavery etc) to be supposedly logical at all.
No.

I do not see the relevancy of using the specific word dogma. Since dogma has nothing to do with this topics....

Even the bible mentioned the specific word dogma for a reason.
I will need to find it and will do so later.
I am a regular Eli watcher. I have found her channel a non-political travel channel. We are all allowed to be non-political.
I disagree. If you mean showing Z or supporting Putin,you're right. But if you read between the lines, she did a lot of videos against the sanctions from a selfish point of view, tim kirby's interviews(he is a putin supporter nut speaking only about politics) then the spetnaz video (she deleted it,basically she glorified russian army) it is enough to deduct she is pro military /government/ not so war supporter but only because it damage her business. She doesn't care about ukrainians.
@@AndreaBorto she may or may not care about Ukrainians. But her channel is not about Ukrainians. It is about her travels as a Russian woman, both within Russia, and without. And that is just fine. Not everything has to be about the war. As for the Spetsnaz, they have a long history unrelated to the current war against Ukraine. Indeed, from all accounts, Putin has ruined the Spetsnaz in Ukraine.
@@blafonovision4342 maybe you missed a couple of my points. There are a lot of russian channels about life in russian villages, russian cousine, or bloggers like eli. None of them are subject to western criticism. Why? Well, if you stick to russian cousine, nail art, gardening of course is a nonsense attacking them. Showing a russian village can be just a doc. ELI massively promoted russian destinations suggesting people going for holidays, work, living. You are promoting your country which has an organisation called state. If you are apolitical you shouldn't ever posting video about spetnaz, victory day, tim kirby, do you understand this point? Other russian vloggers posting general content about their life in russia took distances from the war and eli or svetlana from russia were the only silent. So if they spoke against despite putin's law about free speech, if she doesn't speak it means she supports the war. She did 3 shorts criticizing the war but only because sanctions hurt her business. And she was angry at the west too. Surely this doesn't make her a good person,after all she just wanna be flattened, have lot of money and thinking only about herself. If you think the sweet mask she has on camera is enough to classify her as a good girl you have a problem understanding people. If she can spend 5000-10000 dollars for every trip,plus having usa bonds it means she could have 100k or 200k in bank accounts. Strangely huge amoubt of money at 26yo, with a demonetized youtube channels. She should have millions of subscribers for such figure.
She has actively made propaganda from the start: interviewing RT anti-western journalists, promoting Russia as resiliant to sanctions and much more. She is a state owned mouthpiece with blood on her hands! And you are an accomplice by supporting her!
@@AndreaBorto You're unhinged. She doesn't owe you a platform. She's an individual, lmao.
Interesting family history! I just discovered Eli in the last month or so but I got the impression she didn't like the war. But she does seem very pro-Russian and your explanation clarifies her mindset. I mean her grandfather was in Russian special forces! So I couldn't imagine she isn't against Putin's war.
I stumbled on one of her videos -- one was more than enough -- where she was yammering on about volunteering to help refugees from Donetsk and Lugansk. Not once did she mention why those people were refugees: It's a footnote to the current war, but a day or two before the Russian invasion, those people were rousted from their homes and told to hit the streets and head east, because (according to the Kremlin) an invasion *from* Ukraine was imminent.
It was a pure propaganda stunt, ginned up to manufacture a cassus belli. Arguably those refugees (nearly all pensioners, women, children) were the very first people to be displaced by Putin's little adventure -- in the name of "protecting" them, naturally.
And darling little Eli mentioned this not at all. It was enough to convince me that she's got no integrity, so why bother watching? Anyway I'm glad to see her dishonesty and complicity skewered in this video.
She is Russian!
EDIT: If you watch other videos, she's very careful not to call it a war. I think she's against it but obviously can't say it.
@@VL1975 There are other Russian UA-cam producers *in* Russia who've made it clear that they're against the president-for-life's invasion, even if they have to avoid using the (suddenly verboten) word "war". Not her. She's complicit.
And again, the vid that I saw was a self-serving performance about her supposedly helping refugees without a single mention of *why* they were refugees. Dishonesty? Cowardice? Does it matter?
All she ever says is "don't blame all Russians for what their government does." She's NEVER expressed any kind of concern or remorse over the fate of the Ukrainians... it's mostly about how horrible "Russophobia" is.
It's extremely hypocritical of an Irishman to criticize a Russian civilian for not being sufficiently anti war while living in Russia
Most Irish citizens living Ireland either said that English are bearing the brunt of the colonization or they refused to report the IRA members or activities to the authorities
We can't expect her to overthrow the government or to speak out against the regime, risking retaliation. However, that doesn't mean she needs to spread propaganda. I can't say whether she is a Kremlim puppet or not, but it is a fact that she spreads things here and there that can be classified as propaganda. One instance would be telling people that life in Russia is great and the sanctions have not changed anything in the grocery store, while not mentioning that situation outside of Moscow. On top of that, her channel is filled with Russian bots and trolls. Completely filled with them. She seems to be fine with them. She is trying to portray an image of Russia, that is just not the reality of the majority of the country. That is generally the notion the Kremlin is pushing.
Sorry to hear Kirby was sent to see a psychologist, while at high school, because he was unstable and a would be threat. I understand Eli being uncomfortable around him...
"He grew up in a rundown suburb of Cleveland, where his father struggled with deadbeat clients in the furniture-refinishing business and saw their house plummet in value when the neighborhood was hit by white flight, he says. Mr. Kirby says his upbringing as a white minority in his neighborhood left him "uncomfortable" in polite society and hostile to authority. In high school, he says, he was forced by school administrators to pay weekly visits to a psychologist after he was identified by fellow students as someone "who would pull off a Columbine shooting."
Its funny, I started watching Eli from Russia about a year ago, and considered her channel mostly a travel vlog. I've stopped watching her channel since the invasion because I find her most recent videos to be somewhat repugnant. I did take some time to watch some of her older videos and was a little surprised when I saw the video that she made about Chechnya. When she made the statement that Kadyrov saved the people of Chechnya from despotism it really told me everything I needed to know about Eli from Russia and her channel. As far as Russian state TV, I think people around the world should see what they are saying on it the same way people around the world needed to watch the, Why We Fight series that was produced during World War 2. Anytime people have doubts about supporting Ukraine in this conflict, they need to listen to what the Russians are saying.
I have watched Eli from Russia for a couple of years. I have always enjoyed her posts. Of course she is proud of her grandfathers service in WW2. I am proud of my fathers service in WW2. He was in the US Army Air Corp which became the US Air Force. So many people, including you apparently, want to hold other people responsible for the actions of their ancestors. You don't seem to realize we are all products of the time and place that we exist. No one in the US brings up or cares which side of the US Civil War their ancestors fought on. If this is all you got on Eli, you ain't got nothing. The USSR lost more soldiers in WW2 than any of the Western countries. Ireland was a neutral country.
She's proud of her grandfather who, inter alia, partook in the post-WW2 holodomor in the west of Ukraine without any consideration for the connection to the current war of imperial aggression by Russia against Ukraine ...
It caught my attention when I read your line criticising him of apparently wanting to hold other people responsible for the actions of their ancestors. Nowhere in this video is that even suggested. I found it interesting because it is an often used line in discussions of slavery and White privilege in america, and I am surprised that it is being applied in this context, I am confident you are familiar with it, and have had many times argued it in that exact context. Merely for discussing the ancestors negatively, there is an immediate response that it is not allowed, that it is somehow blaming the current generation. Some states are passing legislation that forbid the discussion of history in a particular way, so that it doesn't make the descendants feel guilt, and are even revising the way it is presented. This movement of the US conservative party reminded me of the conservative party in Japan revising the history of the imperial army, so that the Japanese only feel pride for being Japanese, resulting in the censoring of high school textbooks of the atrocities committed by Japan. Anyhow, I thought it bizarre that this exact line has spilled over here. He was criticising her for how she interprets and spreads information about the past, much like some americans do, for example those who subscribe to the lost cause of the confederacy. This criticism is not an attempt to make them feel guilty for what the ancestors did, but rather wanting them to speak honestly about the past, even if it means that you don't get to feel pride over it, but it is not a desire to hold other people responsible.
You have to separate things.
What Russia did or did not in WW2 is not relevant for present situation.
One /you can be proud of your ancestors, this is fair and normal. One can also be quite nationalistic. This is fine, if you don't promote imperialistic wishes. Or carry out occupying countries.
Even many German people are proud of grandfathers. Not the nazi regime, just the grandfather. Most of them were just soldiers loving family.
Putin, however, has been put in office by elite.
5 % of population who stole 90 % of values.
This regime suppresses the people with violence and cencorship.
Eli is just a propaganda figure. Trying to show a theatre, which does not exist. It is her job.
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience was before WW2 and not just in Ukraine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor
@@marik81 there was an additional famine caused by the Soviet authorities post-WW2 in the areas that they had newly annexed (including western Ukraine), in addition to, to the crushing of the Ukrainian resistance to Soviet occupation. This is what Eli’s grandfather purportedly took part in and that she’s so proud of.
One minor point in a great analysis. There was a border dispute between Mexico and the Republic of Texas going back to the war for independence of 1836. It simmered when Texas joined the USA. Mexican soldiers invaded Texas and attacked a Cavalry Regiment that was fortifying defenses due to Mexican statements. the Mexican War of 1848 was a decisive American Victory. The USA did take some territory as a war prize. So, classifying it as an Imperial war is not really on the mark.
Thanks for the input on that war. 👍🏻
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience You’re welcome. History is my passion after work.
👍 i have watched some of the Eli videos since Putin's War on Ukraine. She immediately struck me a little as a "Tokyo Rose." It looks like it might even be produced in collaboration with the Kremlin. I have found other Russian UA-camrs that have left Russia so they can speak freely--they seem to be more authentic. I have had several Russian teachers and love the people---but something is a bit off about this Eli character.
Colaboration???? What do you mean?
Putin ends the war in Ukraine. At least hope so.
It is a bit off. I agree.
Difficult to see the other side when you are overrun by your own news sources. I like the honesty and integrity of Eli as seen in her videos.
@@Ikke999 Right now, US/UK citizens have lost interest and focus on Russia and Ukraine. So no news sources overrunning this issue. People have lost interest. And opinions have, and will change. My opinion on this Vlogger has not--she doesn't seem genuine. Seems contrived.

When tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainian civilians are being slaughtered right now because of Russia's insanely aggressive invasion, then a UA-camr like Eli who makes money out of promoting Russian culture and heritage - including several videos about the special operation and sanctions - absolutely has a moral obligation to tell the truth about Putin's depravity.

Her videos are well done and allows to acquires some insight of Russian culture and everyday life and customs on the country.
In That video about the celebrations of the Patriotic War she make reference to another russian youtuber friend that simultaneously report on the celebrations in Moscow (Niki Proshin). It is an interesting video that shows that the citizens of Moscow did not have access to the celebrations in the red square.

So what's your point?
Nikki has actually mentioned way more about protests and his (possible) disagreement with the Russian invasion than Eli ever has. Nikki is very cautious and fragmented in his discussion of this, but he does bring it up. Eli makes it sound as if she's upset about something but she's never mentioned any concern about the invasion other than the horrible impact of 'Russophobia'.
@@kabardinka1 Nikki is a boring fool that believes in the western " Free World" concept and propaganda and is afraid of loosing followers if he does not of the majority of the " I support the current thing" expect.

If I felt the need of hearing bad mouthing Russia, all I have to do is turn on some TV.
I follow Russian youtubers, like I follow others from other countries, to see their lives and countries, open my mid to diferent points of view, and not to hear ECO from western talking points.
Actually I find quite interesting the people that FLOCK to Russian channels in the hopes of seeing them talking badly about their own Country and into the belief that the only reason they they don´t is because they are afraid of being arrested... lol . Some westerns are a walking joke and literally can´t see that many Russians love Russia.
Watch a Channel called " LOST IN MOSCOW"... Full of clean and beatiful places, happy people,loving parents, really joyfull children and a general sense of relaxation LONG GONE in most western cities.
Do you seriously think that the words of this Proshin are authoritative for us. A person is simply sick with Russophobia! Yes, it is really difficult for ordinary Muscovites to get to the stands on Red Square for the holiday during the parade itself, since there are delegations from all regions of our vast country, heads and representatives of many friendly states and you will agree that we must ensure their safety! And after the parade, TENS of THOUSANDS of Moscow residents calmly pass with photos of their relatives who died in the war as part of the immortal regiment!
Nikki is an VERY INFANTILE westerns pleaser , that says what westerns with Russophobia want to hear. And also he seems to believe that the so called free world really exists …
Go tell that to the Canadian truckers , Dutch farmers , German and British journalist that got their assets frozen for trying to use their so called freedom of choice and expression …

Eli seems to touch lightly on politics. you seem intent on denouncing every youtuber that does not share your rose-colored glassed view of Ukraine. The invasion was not justified but Ukraine was NOT some liberal democracy. it is rated as the most corrupt country in Europe and like Russia, Oligarchs run the show. Why is Ukraine so corrupt?

@@surijosuperbaby Could you write in the larger letters please, I'm visually impaired, thanks.
What are u talking about?
Eli is a professional TV journalist. She's doing her job well.
She is a Tatar, yet she loves to promote all Russian values, and how they brought so much "prosperity" to the ethnicities that were subjugated to the Soviet dominance.
@@quilmesdaveYou write about something you don't understand. Russians and Tatars have been living in a common state for 500 years.
I have done a collaboration with Eli from Russia and spend a hell of a time with her.She just love her country just as everyone would.
She doesn't just 'love' Russia, she is supporting Russian imperialism during their invasion of Ukraine to end Ukrainians ... in this video, she basically venerates her grandfather for his participation in the mass murder of Ukrainians after WW2 by calling him a 'hero' for his involvement ... he's no more a 'hero' than the Germans who took part in the holocaust ... 🤮
She is Russian Propaganda, nothing subtle about it. I watched a few of her videos and wanted to puke.
Everytime I watch one of these videos I feel like I uncover a whole new level of Russian failure. Even if it isn't related to the topics in the video, I guess its Connors way of thinking about things that sets me thought process in the right directions.
I was thinking if you were to tell me about the status of both Russia and Ukraine leading up to maidan and then told me what the future was going hold I would have said "what! NO absolutely DONOT do that Russia" I mean swiping Crimea and pumping guns into the donbas is just about the worst possible strategy of every one that's available. How short sighted can you be. Even if you end up with both territories the damage you will have done to the Russian brand. My god. If UKRAINE is like a brother, and they are currently suffering from a crisis the LAST thing you should do is sneak in there and start fucking things up. Itt.might makeup feel good in the moment but littery everyone's gonna see what u did and hate you. Maybe you should use your considerable military and resources help stabilize Ukraine. There are so many areas where you can help UKRAINE. They discovered oil and gas they need help monetizing it. They have no standing army,you should be able to help them build one, they want to hold yanikovich responsible to show would be corrupt politicians that it won't be tolerated anymore you could turn him over to the Ukraine as a Goodwill gesture. You could tell Ukraine they don't have to close between the west and Russian economic plans. Let's deevise a brand new plan that involves Russia, Ukraine and the west. It will be custom Taylor'ed to suit the needs of all parties and most importantly the Ukrainian position. They could have worked out a deal where the people of the donbas are able to have protections outside of the normal ukranian constitution and in exchange Russia agrees to rehonor their commitment to respect ukranian borders. I mean once again I would be absolutely disgusted I'm my leaders if I was Russia. The are the biggest country in the world., Right next to Ukraine, with historical ties. Yet they were completely unable to achieve a single meaningfull objective in 8 years
Shit happens? What are you doing discover?
Ah, she should be more like Agent Nesty?
She very clearly has some access/funding that comes with strings attached. I would say a soft or part time propagandist. They help her do her hobby of being a youtube traveller. Why not, seems like fun job. In exchange she pushes weird videos or themes when required and doesn’t think twice about it cause its good for her.
Thank you
The Charge of the Light Brigade
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
II
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
III
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.
IV
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
V
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
VI
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

The non-agression pact between nazi Germany and the USSR is the consequence of the Munich agreements between nazi Germany, France and the UK. Stalin offered 100.000 troops to curtail Hitler's expansion but the western powers expected nazi Germany to invade the USSR, the Lebensraum and General Plan Ost was well known to them. For this, they declined. So you are projecting the standard anti-communist western propaganda.

This is kind of pathetic video for you as a youtuber, you are basically targeting Russians for being Russian, those UA-camrs are actually against the war which is very brave from them, actually the Russians who support the war think the same way as you do, how ironic, you have so much more in common with Graham Philips than you think.
Actually Conor comes off as a supporter and apologist of the Zelenky regime. He does not even delve into their very questionable politics and ATO against the Donbass.
The 'witch hunt', call them out comments from the conformity crew have started to appear. She clearly appears on lots of peoples suggested videos, this suggests she would have hundreds of hours of content which people find engaging. To nit pick a few minutes of historical naivety, lack of knowledge in specialized topics from maybe hundreds of hours of online content and to create a dedicated video of this drop in the ocean, there's just something very compimentary about that for Eli.. similar to a reverse Streisand effect.
@@ramonmercader5862 yes he needs a place to run his pimp business. so he needs to burry himself deep into the colon of the selenskyj regime and the ua oligrachs.

Russia is loosing war in Ukraine
Это ваша версия истории , с которой я не согласен .
Crimea attempted in 1992 at the time of the Soviet Union breakup to be come independent as only 15% of the population were ethnic Ukrainians. Ukraine rejected this and stopped Crimea holding a referendum on independence. Crimea had been part of Russia for almost 2 centuries since its capture from the Ottoman Empire until Khrushchev gave it to the Ukraine in the 1950's which wasn't an issue at the time as they were all part of the USSR.
And the Crimean Tatars?
@@Paulareous The Tatars are about 10% of the population. The largest ethnic group in Crimea is Russian at about 65%.
@@no_triggerwarning9953 from Wikipedia: All 240,000 Crimean Tatars were deported en masse, in a form of collective punishment, on 17-18 May 1944 as "special settlers" to the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic and other distant parts of the Soviet Union.
@@no_triggerwarning9953 And why are they only 10% now?
This guy forgets ! Eli is Russian !!!
Thankyou for being another person exposing her Conor, i always new that she is a sociopath, I've called her out on several occasions
Next, i'll ask that she leave Russia behind in her promoting of ITand escape to Georgia, or somewhere else just to redeem herself! because she's only getting deeper!
I did a couple of Eli’s on UA-cam after the war started. She surprised me too, I made her the suggestion to visit Mariupol on her next travel. Seems to be very interesting.
Mariupol is being rebuilt as we speak. The people there are happy that the Russians have taken it over.
🇷🇺❤️🇷🇸🇷🇺❤️🇷🇸🇷🇺❤️🇷🇸
That sugar baby? Kremlin propagandist.
Conor Clyne, first thank you for this video; second: it is time soon to be there to help the Ukrainians reconstruct the country
UA-cam made me aware of Eli's channel back in February or March. Unfortunately,she has skewed opinions or is promoting them under duress [did the FSB come knocking on her father's door and threaten her family?].She revealed in one of her early videos that she was once was planning a career as a military translator,but she was told that if she did so that she would be given access to classified information and not allowed to leave Russia. Her videos seem staged and coordinated in a way that indicates she is probably being assisted in making them [by the Russian government?]. Unfortunately,she is being turned into a sort of scapegoat for the sins of the Russian government and will have to live with her youtube legacy if she ever travels abroad. I feel very,very sorry for her nonetheless.
Military translator?this chick is full of surprises, it seems she is a scanner of opportunities,or being so popular that someone else give these tips to her...
@@AndreaBorto I know that she did a video in Grozny in the Chechen Republic some time ago.It started on Vladimir Putin Boulevard in downtown Grozny. Later she meets a random American at a restaurant. She appears to have gone alone and says that US State Dept. and Canadian Federal Government advisories about the Chechen Republic are "propaganda". However, another Russian youtuber, Dari Step, did a video of the Chechen Republic at the same time. If you compare the two videos it becomes obvious that Eli did not go alone and was accompanied by Dari and the "random" " American". Then ,in Eli's video, two Chechen women who do not show their faces act as a guide to Eli. Were they afraid of reprisals for guiding a Russian youtuber? Are they even Chechen women? We see them at a distance with their backs turned to the camera. I hope Eli and her family and friends are safe,but there is something really weird going on here. Also,the Putin -puppet regime that controls Chechnya has a really,really bad human rights record. However, US and Canada are supposedly putting out "propaganda" on their official websites. Dari Step claims to have left Russia and is now in Istanbul Turkey.
@@tubalcain1039I know Dari Step's channel and it puzzled me when I saw Dari + Eli together in chechenia, doing two different verison of the same tour. About Eli: you don't have to be worried about her, she hasn't made clear her political stances and of course languages and travels in Russia or abroad are not political matter and she has a point on this BUT it is also clear from conor's exposed material about eli's speznatz video and the odd two interviews with RT "journalist" Tim Kirby and later on her confidences on telegram where she doesn't understand why russians and foreigners are ashamed by kremlin's war on Ukraine and why do they move in Georgia, etc. so she positevely has political opinion and she is proud of her grandfather's military career (he basically staitoned in Ukraine preventing revolt for independence) so she has a pro-kremlin background and while she's not a putin's hooligan she discreetly approve the SO. The point is: I think we all enjoyed videos form eli and other russian youtubers because we wanted to know more about the big country but we like to see an honest chronicle so eli's videos seem too much sugar coating and staged and she has done so much travels in very remote region of russia so I think, as in every semi dictatorship, someone proposed eli and dari and others to join a program of promoting Russia's image and tourism which is not bad but here in the west a gov/regional sponsorship is ALWAYS made clear in the credits, so you are aware it is presented in a favourable view. It is deceiving luring people in some regions that are dangerous. Of course chechenia is not dangerous if someone invite you and give you drivers, two female guides, a marriage event, but if USA , Italy foreign departments issued warnings who do you trust must? It is not western prop, there are surely risks UNLESS you are invited and protected by the chechen autorities. Dari did the xerox copies of eli's videos (komi rep, chechenia, russian artic, etc.) but at some point dari "step" out of russia in istanbul , not clearly if to avoid santions or just in disagree about the war. So It is quite difficult to understand who trust. in an hyperbole, dari could act as a spy, or just be western paranoia because maybe she agreed to take money promoting russia and after cutting bridges when the regime showed its ugly face. I'm quite puzzled and to me only 1420, niki proshin and maybe natasha seems very trustful unless discovering some news. Anyway, in dictatorship people could always have murky relationship with autorities..
don't worry aobut eli, she has got a jobon russian geo society so she has good ties with institutions. Prob she was "compensated" because she said youtube revenus could not be transfer to her gov bank account.
@@AndreaBorto None of us have control over which time,place and family we are born in to. We are all conditioned and influenced by our backgrounds. I don't think Eli is a bad person and I wish her well,but I think we all know what is going on...
Hmm, thanks for your insights. I like Eli's channel but haven't seen those episodes.
Which episodes? Some advisors have strange habits. Others should be thrown out very fast.
Putin' s Russia is doing that in Ukraine:
m.ua-cam.com/video/iQExgALv9wI/v-deo.html
Just FYI, Connor is making this video in Ireland. Eli lives in RUSSIA , a place where currently if you disagree with the official views of the Ministry of defense you can go to jail for 15 years. A place where the strongest candidate against Vladimir Putin is in prison for at least the next nine years. Note that he was poisoned and almost died by Putin‘s thugs.
Props to Connor for a great video but I don’t think he would be producing anything like this if he was sitting in Russia right now.
Please understand, the question Russians are being asked regarding Ukraine is “do you support our presidents special military operation in Ukraine to rid our Ukrainian brothers and sisters of Nazis, or would you like to spend the next 15 years in prison?“
She has the choice about what content to make and where to live … if she wants to promote Russia then she needs to take into account how much this war has tarnished Russia’s brand in the West, in particular … it’s like promoting Germany or the Soviet Union in circa 1939 … 🤷🏼
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience yes she has a choice of course. From watching her videos I’ve learned her elderly father has a heart condition and lives by himself. She has family in Russia she cares about. Would you be a better person if she move to Ireland and criticize the Russian government from there instead of staying in Russia to try to make things better? I don’t know.
My take on her videos is there a mostly about life in Russia and the diversity of “ Russian“ cultures. She covers Chechen weddings, Tatar customs etc. etc.
I think pointing out facts of Russian history that are not pointed out by Eli in her videos is great and is a public service. But Maybe you’re a little too hard on her. After all, she lives in a country where there is no independent news at the moment. Independent journalist in the past I’ve had a habit of falling out of windows. People Putin views as enemies seem to die of polonium poisoning. Navalney didn’t die but will likely die in prison :-(. Thankfully, this kind of stuff doesn’t happen in Ireland where you live and I think that’s a valid consideration.
Her video titled “what are Russians ashamed of“ is about the gulags.

Connor, thank you very much for The reply and for putting quality content out on the web! I really do appreciate it.
You sure have penchant for attacking other, more successful, Tubers ?!
Do you judge success by views?
I really enjoy her cultural videos. I also enjoy Russian ballet and dance. However, I’m not stupid enough to appreciate their politics and imperialism. I just take what I enjoy from the videos and don’t worry about her motives. She is in a very tight box there and has to be very careful what she says.
I like Eli's videos. Russia is a very beautifull country. And i think it is normal that she like her country.
Eli did go overseas for part of her education. But the vast majority of her education was in Russia under the force of lies taught in the Russian schools. That happened when she was in a critical time of life for her. This was her teenage years. During this time, when you are taught the lies as she was, overcoming them requires a mind that is measured in 1 of hundreds of millions. Eli has a good mind. Sadly the effects of her education are clear in her VLOG. But she is not like Martin Luther King Jr. She is not destined to change the world for good. So much of the worlds evil stems from wrong thinking based on lies. The exact same problem exists in Western education. Should I write the books needed to expose the lies in Russia and the West? Why? No one would read them. I chose to think clearly about all people on both sides of the war. In this fundamental, we are all the same. We all suffer the same ills. I offer to all the gift of thinking clearly. "Think what is right and good." Be generous in the way you think of the evil in this world. We have no power against this war or the evil fundamentals that are it's source until we change our thinking first. Be kind and generous to those in the West. Be kind and generous to Eli. Karma comes back and the world is blessed. I invite all to join me - think clearly and generously.
We were taught christopher columbus was a hero back in school and wehad an immense proud being the nation of who discovered america to europe and the old world. I was in disbelief watching his statues being torn apart.then I learned about he did something bad to natives so still i feel.bad but I can understand who is not celebrating him in america. So if I did this why russians still believe in the craps served by RT and propaganda?

@@hawaiian529 please suggest me of her videos replenish with Putin propagenda
I watch her and a few others, mainly for their shopping centre walks, so I can see and publicise (on Twitter) which Western brands (mostly French, Italian and a few US), are still open and trading in Russia. I've given up listening to most of them. I feel a degree of sympathy for them though, while supporting sanctions 100%. They've been lied to for so loing, now and historically, it seems they're conditioned to never really know what's going on, or to assume anyting that seems to be anti Russian is propaganda. Russian TV is like North Korean TV, but with Fox News production levels. That said, sanction the absolute shit out of them, It's the only way to get the peoples' attention.
Not exactly, they still have acess to UA-cam. But, yeah, Russian TV now is basically propaganda to the putin's regime.
UA-camrs like Eli from Russia have still access to western media through UA-cam (she has internet and she's fluent in english). And if they have a VPN, they can still access to western (public or private) TV.
Right..
And you are fed only with TRUTHS right??
The worst case cenario of being a slave is when you are led into believe that you are free...
By the way, the sanctions are meant to hit YOU, the peasant, and get into your carbon digital pass without you noticing what is really going on by believing that you are standing are full of virtues.
That´s the magic of the " free world" propaganda and the sadness of ignorance.
I'm glad you made that point about 20 million Soviets who died in WWll because more Ukrainians died than any other nationality in the Soviet Union.

Oh I keep forgetting to mention this to you. I may have missed it but have you ever watched Russian Roulette the 100 part series by VICE and specifically Simon Ostrovsky. He was in the donbas from crimea through MH17 ..I mean if people think Patrick Lancaster is showing real deal on the ground reports. This vice series blows that out of the water. It won an Emmy it was so good. I mean it even shows him being detained by seperateist and held and tortured for 3 days
Highly highly recommend watching the Russian Roulette series - which actually started with the Russian takeover in Crimea. There was a related documentary he created, Selfie Soldiers, that documented postings on VK (Russia's equivalent to Facebook) by Russian soldiers, traced some of them into their involvement with the Battle of Debaltseva in 2015, and then he flew to far East Russia to a Tuvan city to try and talk with one of those soldiers.
Simon is currently reporting for PBS News Hour and NY Times,
@@DavidHerron I really don't think you could have done a better job at documenting what was happening there. Simon is perfectly suited for the role. He knew when to push and when to pull. And he always seemed to be in the right spot. I also appreciate the fact that he spent what seemed like a pretty equal amount of time showcasing the seprestist and the ukranians. When you watch a bunch in a row the juxtaposition between the two factions is really apparent. Nearly Everytime he's around seperateist hes in danger. Hes told not to film,men are wearing mask, being abducted lol. I know the seperateist have alot more to lose but I guess that's the point right. When youre on the side of truth and good you don't have to worry about those things.
@@DavidHerron also when this invasion happend everyone was scrambling to learn somting about the conflict and all I kept hearing was about John mershimer why the west is to blame. And no one was talking about Russian roulette. I know why. Because it's easy to pop on a 1 hour lecture that tells you everything you want to here. Its alot harder to watch many videos that leave it up to the viewer to extract mortality
Yes Russian Roulette and particularly Simon Ostrovsky's work is just an amazing piece of videoing history!! By far the best reporting I have even seen (it needs a degree of incredible bravery to achieve what they did!)
For me, Victory Day only represents bad values as well and enslavement. As well Tolaritarianism and the glorification of war.
I would like to see him and Eli sit down and have a discussion about this
She would not be able too. Her " beautifull" country would arrest her because sitting down to discuss war propaganda would entail her having to admit there is a war.

Which. Of course not.
I feel you are suffering from a tinge of jealousy of Eli success.
there are a lot of more successful youtubers than conor, but he blamed eli for a reason.
Not at all. Eli's videos are propaganda.
Do you think RT is independent?
Is he gay? That might be the reason.
I've watched her channel for quite sometime, way back before the current war. She has and continues to show life within Russia and her travels to other countries too. Since the start of this war she's referenced it several times, as best she could under the current limitations of doing so within Russia. Not once has she EVER promoted, agreed, nor condoned Putin/Russia's actions. She even interviewed a pro-Putin American whack-a-doo living in Russia. Her facial expressions alone when he spoke let you know exactly where her heart is.
She has a lot to lose if she escapes Russia- family and finances. My sister-in-law is from St. Pete now living in the US. She got out several years ago but is now cutoff from her family and finances she left behind because of Putin's war. Not all Russians are bad my friend.
It appears you've attempted to get views by disparaging someone else with a larger and more popular viewer base. I'll cover your same treatment of NFKRZ on that video's comments.
If you want to berate Russian vloggers that are pro-Putin, go take a whack at Sergey Baklykov and his channel Baklykov. Live ua-cam.com/video/QbFM7Y1B6Cg/v-deo.html This guy originally had some pretty decent content walking the streets of St. Pete showing Russian life. I had to unsubscribe from him when he became an arrogant, condescending, sarcastic, douchebag with his attempts at comedy in multiple videos mocking his unaffected lifestyle under sanctions. He's a full on "whatabouter" whenever he's questioned about the invasion of Ukraine. Pro-Putin POS that deserves your negative review.
Leave Eli and NFKRZ be, they are a few of the good ones. Just watch ALL their videos in their ENTIRETY not just snippets you can mold to meet your agenda that all Russians suck and are propagandists.
I chose their videos because they are Russians who don’t appear to support the war but were not willing to take risks to oppose it and both whined on UA-cam as if they were ‘victims’ … the only way ultimately to have peace is if there is a change of system in Russia otherwise Russia will continue to attack its neighbors when they disagree with them.
As for other ‘worse’ Russian UA-camrs, sure I could react to all of them but what’s the point if they openly support the war? 🤷🏼
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience So you do understand the possible consequences of those risks for them if they were to openly and singlehandedly express their dislike for the war/Putin, right? Unfortunately it will take the masses of unhappy Russians to change their country not just a couple of vloggers spending 15yrs in the gulag for posting a video on their channel that Putin sucks.
Again, your videos appear to be an attempt to garner views by bashing popular Russian vloggers that OPPOSE Putin's war and are stuck in a shitty situation. And yes, they are victims of being born into a backwards ass country with a bastard ruler and it's hell trying to change the system because that's how they designed the system.
@@Anonymous_User_Incognito it’s their country and their entire careers are built around commentary on Russia and in fact, Eli actively promotes Russia as a destination for foreigners … I made the analogy to Niemöller’s poem because it’s apt in this case. Too many Russians have turned a blind eye to this war of imperial aggression because they are not willing to do anything about it in spite of the consequences … same as in Germany in the 1930s …
And the crickets chirped. 🦗
The End
@@ConorClyneTsarExperience I have been watching NFKRZ since 2016 and he is from the young generation whose parents did not like to publically about politics. This has left a mark on him because he did mention somewhere in his videos Russians in the Soviet era people disappeared when they spoke against the government something which Eli also mentioned in her Gulag video (if I remember correctly). NFKRZ is unlike other brainwashed Russians and he showed it time and time again by talking about the corruption of buisness men and politics numerous times even before the war started. Even before the war started Roman has been very careful with his wording for many years when he talks about Russian politics which is something he also mentioned in one of his videos when the war started. Russian citizen like him, even if they live abroad, try to either avoid political conversations on camera or are very careful with their wording because they dont want their relatives get in trouble with authorities something Roman also explained. This is exactly why Russians like Eli, Niki, Roman etc. can't directly tell their viewers donate money for Ukraine.

She was not promoting nothing englishman. She was showing something that would be interesing for everyone. Stop your sick mansplaining. Also you're english and white. Your people have enough blood of innocents.
THEY ARE THE WORST.... ENGLAND INVADED ONE TIME OR ANOTHER ,90% OF THE WORLD AND TO THE DAY USES THE US AS WAR MUSCLE...
THE BRITISH CROWN OWNS 1/6 OF THE PLANET, TAX FREE, AND LAUDRIES MONEY TO THE ROTHCHILDS THAT, BY THE WAY, SPONSORED HITLER SO THEY COULD HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE, LIKE CATTLE, READY TO INVADE PALESTINE WITH WESTERN CULTURE... Israel wasn´t about or for the jews, the same way now this war now is not about Ukraine.
It's hilarious calling him "Englishman" when he from a country that was invaded by Great Britain. You don't know your history, do you?
@@martinfox3478 Both are pigs.
👏👏👏 couldn’t agree more. Leave the girl alone.
@@martinfox3478 Good reply!
Amazing video, the content is accurate and realistic. Thanks Conor. It would be great a similar video on the Spanish Z propagandists, the worst thing I saw in my life in UA-cam.
I don't want to take away anything from her grandfather's service, or assume the worst, but it is really strange for her to bring up that he fought against Ukrainian "nationalists" after Russia invaded Ukraine, and then to just say he's a hero to her.
Not strange. Honest.
Why is it strange?
@@yyyy12344 Unless she wants her audience to associate Ukraine with Nazis, it’s irrelevant to the point of the video.
Yes...I think that it is no surprise that in June 2022 Elina Bakunova ( Eli from Russia) joined the Russian Geographical Society (RGS), a non-governmental organisation. For ten years, the RGS’s honorary president has been Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s Defense Minister during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has headed its supervisory board since 2009, which also includes prominent oligarchs and high-ranking officials. State-owned companies like Gazprom are among its partners.
Also..how can she travel and film so easily everywhere and even in Georgia find people who love Russia.
Her two videos from Chechnya were a travesty.
Bandera is not controversial figure he was Clearly a bad man he is only being called good by some special people when his men killed Russians and ironically Ukrainians as well
She is a young meryl streep . 1 of the sexiest actresss in all history of Hollywood
She is charming and attractive I agree!!!!!
I don't know whether you know it or no, I won't be surprised if you familiar with it, but this concept of the "Great Patriotic War" was made up in 1965, in twenty years time after World War II ended. That year, it was the first time when Victory Day (it was intentionally "postponed" from 8th of May to 9th) was widely celebrated in Soviet Union. Before this, there weren't even an attempts to celebrate it, because a lot of survivor veterans were still relatively young and perfectly remembered all the horrors of this war. That there wasn't a lot to be proud, it was just a long sequence of mass murders, rapings, lootings and other war crimes from both sides. They knew that actually war isn't only about heroism, honour, nobility and bravery; it's mostly a blood, dirt, fear, intestines sticking out of stomach, torn up bodies, cut off legs, hands and heads. But new generation was growing up, and Communist party decided to create such a holiday for them "to get them remembered a great feat of Soviet people". For this purpose, they dropped off only a part of world war since 22nd of June 1941 when Germany invaded USSR, and called it a "Great Patriotic War". Soviets skipped an "awkward' part of it when they divided seized territories of Eastern and Central Europe with Germany: they've already basically participated in the war not only by seizing but also by murdering (Katyn' massacre) and deporting many thousands of Poles, Ukrainians, people from the Baltic states (mostly Latvians) to Siberia and sending them to Gulag. They deliberately diminished a role of American lend lease to create a facade of "decisive contribution by USSR in defeating a Nazism" by writing in a history books that an overall share of lend lease was only 4% while actually it was just huge. Soviet Union simply couldn't have resist without lend lease. And gradually a Victory Day became the main holiday in Soviet Union, probably, right after New Year. And there was an interesting tendency observed in Soviet Union and Russia: the less achievements they had, the bigger and pompous this "holiday" became, with all these foolish parades, they tried to create an impression for their citizens and for all the world that USSR was almost the only one who defeated Nazis. Especially in the latest years of Putin it acquired blatantly ugly forms with fake veterans and the same fake "grandfathers on sticks" (with photos of them) in the hands of "immortal Regiment" procession participants (and most of them didn't even knew the names of their "grandfathers" who were fighting in this war). So, the last 5-6 years conscious people call it a "победобесие" ("victory-madness"). But most of Russian people, and this Eli among them, take this "victory-madness" for granted, not even thinking that maybe it's worth to celebrate it in some other way. Just as a Memorial Day, without these noisy processions.
Beside Britain should be excluded from England.
England is a norman, anglo-saxon country, they are frisians with some french words.
Don't touch our holy holiday! None of your damn business! We have a memorial day on June 22, when we were attacked. And Victory Day is May 9, when we won, and it's none of your business how we celebrate it!
@@Миокардыч you can do whatever you like as long as you aren’t scheming to assault your neighbors.
@@Миокардыч You are all murderers, every one of you! победа на Украине
@@Миокардыч You celebrate by lying to yourselves, as usual. Read some accurate history books from anywhere else in the world about the horror that Russia is and has always been.
26:17 Alexei Zhuravlyov, leader of the far right Rodina (motherland) party, which he founded along with former deputy prime minister of Russia and current head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin and others in 2003, originally created by the Kremlin to steal votes from the even more deranged National Bolshevik Party in the 2003 elections (founded by Aleksandr Dugin and others) before that party was banned in 2007. Rodina later merged with several other parties in 2006, it is now used by the Kremlin as a controlled opposition.
Very professionally edited camera work, including what seems to be video shot by an expensive drone, interviews with literal Russian propagandists without telling us who they work for, her odd access to the Russian special forces during conflict, the fact that she travels literally everywhere in Russia and tries to paint as nice a picture of Russia as possible, all while running a UA-cam channel of only 300,000 subscribers with a job as a coordinator of a Russian speaking club for foreigners? Combine that with what you've said in this video and I can come up with only one conclusion:
YES. Something is weird about her channel. Exactly what that is, I don't know. I've unsubbed from her. The interview she did with the American who works for RT without mentioning even once that works for RT made me question everything I'd seen on her channel before.
Interestingly her topics preemptive of Putin speeches. Siberia should be the new travel destination according to Putin. Her trolls attack everyone who has a critical view of her clips
I remember she did a video about the LGBT community in Russia and claimed that it's safe to visit Russia if you're LGBT. She was deffo talking out of her ass on that one.
@@michcalder88 If you are LBGT and want to visit Russia, you should make sure you're ready for any problems and challenges. There are many places in this world that won't welcome you with open arms, so get over it.
