    She has done an amazing job of clearing up the conflict, as an American who watches more informed about the conflict history, it's something America needs to become more informed about. Thank her for me. Lovely story. I love to watch many Russian walking tours, and the people in the villages. And I share them. America has been so brainwashed about Russia. Sadly. It is like a new/old county that has amazing opportunities today. Beautiful story.

      As a Russian, I am very welcoming to all white foreigners. They don't have to follow "cultural frames". As to "rules", that is a bit vague because the current rules are unjust, so obviously they shouldn't be stealing but they sure can criticize the war.
      On the other hand, replacement immigration from Central Asia is highly unwelcome, regardless of whatever weird compliance principles they come up with.

      ​​@@TheAfroLev Просмотрел весь ролик ещё раз целиком, но ответа на вопрос: " как реально относятся русские к американцам? " , - в ролике нет даже близко. :) Вижу набор стандартных мыслей, присущих большинству более-менее вменяемых американцев . Американцы очень предсказуемы и полностью понятны. Сами же американцы ( за очень редкими исключениями) даже не в состоянии сформулировать вопрос, существенно ззатрагивающий миропонимание русских. Поэтому они в принципе не способны узнать как русские думают на самом деле - глубины не хватает. Тем более, что Россия очень разная и не ограничивается тонким слоем её клиентов. Простота общения происходит просто потому, что под европейцев и американцев русским легко подстроить стиль и лексику, - ну как под детей. Но это не означает, что дети понимают взрослых. Пару раз проводил эксперимент ииначинал общаться с ними без фильтра - результат один, - перегорание пробок, непонимание и истерика.

      If Moscow and St. Petersburg is not Russia 🇷🇺 then which country are they 🤔.
      You can say is not only Russia 🇷🇺 cities,towns or Region but saying Moscow (the capital of Russia 🇷🇺 federation and capital of Soviet Union) and St. Petersburg (the royal 👑 and cultural city of Russia 🇷🇺 federation) is not Russia 🇷🇺 doesn’t make sense.
      So calling Moscow Russia 🇷🇺 is 💯 % correct because Moscow is the heart of the Russia 🇷🇺 federation, if Moscow fail then the whole Russia 🇷🇺 federation fails but if and when Moscow succeed and prosper then the other part of Russia 🇷🇺 federation succeeds, and also when you hurt Moscow you hurt every part of Russia 🇷🇺 federation because citizens of all part of Russia 🇷🇺 federation live in Moscow and belong there, because Moscow belongs to every citizen of Russia 🇷🇺 federation and so to the capital of all the countries in the world 🌍, Soviet Union failed because Moscow failed, Moscow is the head/heart of the country (Russia federation). So you’re wrong.
