    Hey y'all, I'm not in Moscow anymore, but I really appreciate all of your comments and the fact that you still keep up with my videos from my time in Russia! It was an incredible year, and I'm now back to being based in Texas, closer to family. Here's the link to my latest life update: ua-cam.com/video/mMr2kYjW6V4/v-deo.html

    Rachel, I moved to Russia in 2002 (never having been there, nor speaking the language) and I stayed until 2019. It was one of the best periods of my life. I miss Moscow terribly. When the weather is decent, it's one of the best places you can live. There is an adjustment period with culture shock, but once you've acclimated yourself it really is one of the best places to live, and I consider moving back every day. Enjoy learning Russian and exploring this alternate universe.

    Hi from Malaysia. Was in Moscow and in a provincial city in Russia for about a month during Christmas to verify for myself the claims by western media that the Russian economy was in tatters and the effects of the sanctions.

      @@gboete Some criticise, but a lot more of the people I talked to (online for years before finally meeting them) who constantly criticised Putin have turned around and are now fully in support of Putin and their government, despite its associated problems. I couldn't believe it myself at first. Many were against Putin even more when he started crossing the border into Ukraine, but as soon as the 1st/2nd sanctions package were applied - they turned around and started to fully support their president.
      Oh by the way my conclusion is summed up and very clearly implied in my second last sentence.

      @@gboete Putin knows what he is doing and everything he does is positive, right, correct and in full interest and support of his country and people. He is a true leader and real president and I entirely agree and am aligned in with his values by simply protecting Russia's political sovereignty and territory from unjust outsiders opinion, opposition, and ignorant influence and possible external intervention from ukraine, west, usa, europe, and on nato. Putin must not be rejected! Life in Russia goes on as normal and actually is better and not more difficult, the Russian economy is the fastest growing and one of the most prosperity in the whole entire WORLD, but america wants to make you think that they are the strongest ever superpower.

Though it sounds scary, Russian is the most beautiful language that I ever know.

    Welcome to Russia! If you can try to spend some time traveling to other regions to get a wide view of this vast country, possibly a series of for RT. I am also from from the US but moved to St Petersburg in 2000 not long after Putin because president but the signs of change for the better wee seen very soon after taking office so I felt confident in the future of Russia and my optimism was not misplaced It has been exciting seeing growth and increased quality of life every year.. I visited often in the 1990s and a few times in the USSR era..
    One thing you will notice is how much more relaxed and lower stress people have, and although Moscow is a lot more expensive than any other city, living without debt is something Americans really can't imagine. Another unbelievable difference , to Americans is despite the 182 different cultures that make up Russia, everyone gets along and others do not care if you are of a different religion, race, color, politics, gender, status, people do not judge you on any of that, and they look to your character as the only gauge.
    So go out and enjoy the unity and good nature of Russian society..

Серафим Саровский говорил что антихрист будет евреем из России, это правда, но он не сможет подчинить страну себе. Он подчинит себе весь мир кроме России и славянских стран. В России потом будет второй царь от Бога, архангел Михаил, он уничтожает антихриста и Вавилонскую блудницу. Этот царь описан в Даниила 12:1 (11:44 описывает как антихрист слышит слухи с севера и востока и эти слухи пугают его - это описание слухов во войне на Севере и России против Китая).
