      I would like to hear what you think about europe? How aware you are about the situation in europe? It seems like they are using Russia, war and trying to create artificial crises to destroy western civilicazion. Especially europe and countries like Finland, Germany, France. I am a Finn myself and it has never looked this bad.

    Konstantin, thank you for telling the truth. My family lives in Kyiv and there are still missles being shot into Kyiv on a regular basis. This is no longer being reported in the news. My cousin lives in Canada and speaks to my family in Kyiv every day to see if they are still okay. This is extremely nerve-wracking to say the least. Slava Ukraini! Слава Україні! I know that there are good Russian people that never wanted this war. My heart bleeds for Ukrainians and good Russian people.

    Konstantin, I am an old man from Sweden. I very much appreciate your efforts to explain today's Russia. I have been several times to your country. I was shocked the first time, in 1976, to find out that the Russian people were not bloodthirsty, cold and unfriendly but like Spaniards, emotional, friendly and incredibly hospitable people. Now after the unprecedented invasion of Ukraine I stopped reading about Russia, stopped listening to Russian music and I instinctly mistrusted anything Russian. Thanks to human beings like you I am reminded of the fact that, no, I was not wrong about Russia. Many people are probably still warm and friendly the music and the language are probably still beautiful and I don't have to feel guilty of liking something Russian. My father could never feel at ease with Germans still 35 years after the second world war. Thanks in part to you I feel I will be able to reconnect mentally with Russia much faster than that.
    I feel very sorry for you and so many other Russians in exile. It is a tough life. But I am sure that from that diaspora will rise the future elite of Russia. You know that you Russians as a group cannot compete with the Ukrainians as regards the sympathy from us who have other nationalities. Our hearts are bleeding for the Ukrainians. But keep in mind that you play a decisive role as ambassadors for the true core of your country and over time you are the winners. If you have time, write a book about your experiences during this extraordinary phase of history. Good luck to you and your family and Glory to Ukraine.

    Konstantin. For me, the two most interesting things you talked about were population decline and the effect of PTSD. In 2014/15 I was travelling to Russia on business very often, so while I was just a business traveller, I was immersed in Russian life to a certain extent. The PTSD problem already existed. 30 million people were killed in the Russian civil war and purges, another 30 million in WW II. The men who returned from the front almost certainly suffered from PTSD, but received no treatment. This is why Putin's vision works. Even before 2022, Russians had a reputation for being aggressive alcoholics prone to excessive behaviour. They were known for having an almost feral survival instinct. They were known for their lack of morality. These are all symptoms exhibited by people with PTSD. The battlefield is now in their heads and they are fighting for their lives. Population: I remember my translator warning me that I was a very good "catch" for Russian ladies. She explained that outside of Moscow and St Petersburg, in small towns and villages, the villages were run by women because nearly all the men were alcoholics. Any man with a bit of drive and self discipline moved to Moscow. In Moscow there was still plenty of alcoholism, and before 2022, I saw statistics saying that Russian companies were more likely to have women on the board than many countries in the West. Why? Because Russians became feminists? Nope. There weren't enough competent, well educated and sober men to do the job. I saw this with my own eyes. Nearly all call center managers in Russia are women. The only men you see in senior positions are IT people. The population was falling long before the war started. The current situation will turbocharge this situation. Regarding negative population growth, China has the same problem, but there is a shortage of women. Could this be a solution? No. For reasons deeply ingrained in both Russian and Chinese culture, you are not going to see Russian women marrying and having kids with Chinese men in their millions. Even Putin's proposed summer camp exchanges with N Korea will not make that happen. Rusdians are leaving Rusdia because they know it's doomed. Not only did Captain Putin hit the iceberg with the Titanic, he backed off and hit it repeatedly to try and get it out of the way.

      Brilliant observations. It’s even worse. Every day now young Russian men in the prime of life are dying in Ukraine by the hundreds, or more. Some time ago I saw a video showing how Russia is becoming a nation of villages of women, children, old men, and the disabled. The men are gone. I hope they are hiding their teen age boys. Germany put them on the front line in late ‘44 and early ‘45. I remember the stories of G.I.s turning over the bodies of Germans they shot as they moved toward Berlin. They broke into sobbing when they saw they’d killed 15-year-olds.

    As a Romanian who lives abroad, I know exactly what it’s like for people to hold prejudices against you because of your nationality. I have felt discrimination and was made to feel second class many times before. I often hide my origin because I just want to be seen as an equal human being. Ironically, even my Russian ex girlfriend’s family never accepted me because of this. While I am embarrassed to publicly declare my nationality, I display my national pride tenfold online anonymously. This duplicity is an unfair circumstance, but I’ve accepted that this is how things are because most people will categorize you otherwise. So when you said that you feel like a second class citizen, it instantly struck a chord.
    You have a platform where you can reach many people. They get to know your thoughts, opinions and emotions. People see the goodness in you before they see your nationality. And that is a powerful tool to break stereotypes not just for you as an individual, but for other Russians as well.

      Don’t know where you live, but I’m an American born in the USA. I moved a good distance across the country. After being hit with the same thing a couple of times, I stopped answering where were you born with my birthplace. I simply answered “Oh, I moved here from-“ and gave the name of the last state I’d lived in, one more acceptable to the natives. Or, I’d retort breezily “Well, where do you think I’m from?” Results were hilarious. Mentally I kept track of the answers. When I got to 14-15, I stopped keeping track. Only one person ever guessed my state of origin correctly. I got answers from north, south, east. I’m not originally from the far west so in that regard answers were correct. But generally people had me born all up and down the Mississippi to the Midwest and over to the East Coast, nearly half the country! I had known that people project, but until this experience I hadn’t realized how much people project based solely on the sound of another’s voice. It’s not you, Dacia, it’s them. Blessings.

    I think Constantine hit the nail on the head with this one. It has become worse than a madman at the helm, Russia is becoming a multi headed hydra, not because the people themselves are bad, but because of the brainwashing and the need for survival. As the world moves forward, Russia will become poor and more isolated, and it’s so cool friends will seek to take advantage of them, especially countries like China and Iran, and even North Korea. This will further accelerate the isolation, it is extremely sad. Where at one point, Russia was considered a culture with sudo European and Asian roots, it has now become a rogue nation.

      The geographic isolation has had an historic influence, I agree. Poland and Ukraine (the original 'Rus') both had major N-S and E-W trade routes intersecting. So they've never had any kind of isolation. The Baltics & Poland were members of the Hanseatic League.... so again major exposure to other peoples & cultures for the entirety of their history. When the Mongols left Moscow they took most trade activity wïh them. Worse, Moscovia didn't have much to interest their neighbors to the west & southwest. Ukraine, Poland, & the Baltics were all net exporters of food; western Europe was happy to buy/trade.

      ​​@@johnbui6530I think you meant Unemployment is low and that employment is high. But you're right. The job market is tight. Anyone wanting to work today in America can find work. Many Northern and Western states have raised the minimum wage to $15 per hour, with some considering raising it to $20 per hour and this for unskilled labor. For skilled labor like engineers, software, management, etc., there are millions of unfilled jobs. I know we need to close the border, but the 20 million or so illegals are not eligible for social security, Medicare, etc, but must pay into it. They do the jobs most Americans don't want, won't take. Picking vegetables in the hot sun? If we kick them out we'd better have robots ready to do it. I don't like illegal immigration at all. But without it America would be in sharp demographic decline, meaning fewer workers every year and more retired folks like me depending on social security, which will go belly up within 15 years. What then. I wish our country had better leaders like when I was growing up. They were far from perfect, God knows. But they were better able to reach across the aisle and compromise.

      This is a naive view of war.
      As an example of why this is so, I will use Finland, my very own home country. At the beginning of the continuation war, the 2nd of the 3 Finnish wars in WW2, the Finnish army numbered 476,000. By the end of the war, the army had 544,000 soldiers.
      Finland had suffered around 220,000 casualties as dead and wounded.
      What gives? How can it be possible that an army could stay at the same size, or as with Finland, even grow while suffering heavy casualties?
      There were no undead zombies fighting for Finland, nor did the soldiers split in two to make copies of themselves. The army just kept on bringing new people as the already existing soldiers kept dying.
      Soldiers die. As they die, new soldiers are recruited and mobilized. Russia will continue to recruit and mobilize for as long as the war lasts (read: as long as the soldiers keep on dying) and 600k-700k soldiers in Ukraine is pretty much a minimal requirement to keep up operations on such a large front.
      Unless some massive upheaval completely disrupts Russia's ability to generate manpower, regardless of how many Russians die, there will be around 700k veterans of the war fresh off the field when the war ends.

I cannot tell more about the Czech's . However I can tell you about the DDR. Ulbricht and then Honecker . Mein Gott, when there was a fresh cut of meat, like beef almost was never available, then there was a line around the block in odrer to get a quarter pound or less like 100 grams. Then Bananas, Oranges, the same, lines around the block and when you weren't in line by 4 a.m forget about it you won't see any. Potatoes were available at times, pork was available at times , some vegetables seasonally, at times. Almost always get in line and wait. Then the citizens of the German Democratic Republic . Democratic, sure, human rights were kicked to the curb, and you had to be careful of your Neighbors not to turn you in. The STASI was the succession of the GESTAPO. West TV/ Radio was verboten. Get caught and 2 years in jail. Then you got out and you then requested to be allowed to leave for West germany. You then automatically were Jailed again and if you got lucky the West German Government paid about $ 500K Deutsche Marks per Person that wanted to leave. Same as North Korea, now , maybe a smitch better but only a little. So all you Putin Lovers, is that what you want.

    The Russian soldiers returning from the war will be returning in shame because they know what they've been doing is wrong and the people in their towns and cities, neighbourhoods and families know that what they have been doing is wrong. Some were coerced into going into the army and some joined up because of the good money. The reason won't matter because wrong is wrong. So they will return in shame and with PTSD so, yes, they will likely never recover and will not be able to lead a normal and peaceful life. On the other hand, the Ukrainian soldiers will return as heroes, as the defenders of their people, as the courageous men and women that they are, fighting to save their country from the attackers. They will also suffer with PTSD and all the trauma of war, but they will have the support of their families, friends and fellow Ukrainians. And they know they are on the side of good. They have a much better chance of a good life in spite of what they have experienced.

    I think there are three groups of Russians as regards attitudes towards the war: ~ 20% Z-patriots; ~ 20% anti-war; and ~ 60% zombies.
    The zombies are those who will do what they are told to do by the State but who prefer not to think about politics. Though I have provided specific percentages, the "~" symbol is important and cannot be dropped at the present time.
    If we talk about an underlying imperialistic mindset, which acts as the bedrock mental state of the Russian people, which in turn underlies the foundation upon which the war machine is built and operates, I think the percentage of Russians who have this mindset is ~~ 90% .

      Many of my professors in college said a fundamental part of the problem is that Muscovy never experienced the Renaissance and Enlightenment. The rest of Europe and other parts of the world moved on; Russia stagnated.
      When Peter the Great ruled Russia he dragged most of the population from the 1200's to the 1700's. IIRC, even he thought it would be traumatic for the population but believed to let them continue to live in the Feudal Era would be worse in the long run.
      I'm not an expert on the influence of Mongol Rule. However, the fact remains large parts of society remain in the Fudal Era.

    Konstantin-- I agree with you that there are going to be huge changes in the Russian Federation, and it will require generations. "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." I see echoes of the period from the Ukraine War (1850's) through the Russian Civil War (1920's). I am old enough to remember Russian emigres who fled after the Revolution, and were said to still admire and support Nicholas II. When I think of Russia, I still think of the Soviet Union, a great power; I then must remind myself that is living in the past. There is a famous movie (I don't recall its name) set in Shanghai during the 1930's; one of the principal characters asks a bartender (evidently a Russian emigre) where he is from, and he replies "wherever I can get a passport." I shouldn't be surprised if Siberia devolves into several buffer states independent of Russia. I do not expect to live long enough to see how it all turns out. Please accept my sincere condolences.
    P.S.: Things are also looking very bad for China.

      "Windows
      Movie Maker" or other simple, easy to use (not complicated apps), with which you could cut shorter or add few words presentation at the beginning of every of his videos to explain how important is that hundreds of millions of people should see his videos and Konstantin should make them available to be downloaded and uploaded to many other channels by many people to spread the knowledge faster so that people could prevent the evil or Russia from becoming one more "North Korea".

      The russian federation will start on its rebuild far behind it's starting line after the fall of the USSR. The population is smaller and rapidly shrinking. It's influence among the former USSR states is diminishing. It's infrastructure is more run down and, and parts of it is collapsing and will start collapsing within a few years. It's economy is weaker, so is it's earning potential. It's standing is vastly decreased. It's ability to get investors will be vastly diminished for a very long time to come, and it'd possibly of getting good deals smaller. It's trustworthiness is in shambles. And it will enter the next rebuild with very little sympathy and willingness to be helpfull. It will be further behind in many important fields in science and tech than it was..... Russia will have a very tough time. For a long time.
      Last time, I sent clothes to Russia. It was a collection. This time I will rather burn it, than sending it to Russia. My personal policy towards Russia will be if you can afford submarines, oligarchs and bombs, you can afford t clothes your people. If you prioritise differently, that's your problem. Not mine. There was a time when I thought Russia had changed. I screamed up when Russia was trashed. I was obviously the fool. Russia will most likely not be able to make me trust it ever again.
      The invasion of Ukraine, was the start of the ultimate disaster for Russia.

      Alcoholism is such a major russian problem, if putin had an ounce of brains he would legalize medical marijuana for pain relief. Consider the amount of handicapped war veterans returning, missing a limb! Already the Russian Federation is having supply issues with prosthetics. Treating pain patients and PTSD with alcohol with only increase the amount of violence, crime and domestic disturbance already endemic in russian households. I thought putin wanted to increase the birth rate? This will decrease it. Medical marijuana treats pain effectively and helps chill out violence and domestic abuse. Does putin want more babies or not? He really doesn’t have a clue about family values, everything he does increases violence, crime and misery inside russia. Mordor is not a happy place.

    My personal experience informs me that it will take longer than two generations to change the Russian mindset.
    I live in the US in Washington State. There is a large Eastern European community that has immigrated to my community. Including my next door neighbors who are from Belarus. The majority are from Russia and Belarus. A lot of them work in the construction field. I worked for the largest plumbing and industrial supply company in the region for 25 years before I retired. I worked in sales so I have had a lot of interactions with more than just my neighbors.
    The one thing that I have noticed is that although they like the money they make
    and living the good life, they seem to hate Americans and the west in general. They only associate with members of their own community and the same goes for their children. They pass on their hatred to their kids in much the same way America has passed on its racism through multiple generations.
    Although they live in America, they don’t seem to have any interest in adopting American culture which is the polar opposite of just about every other ethnic group that has immigrated to America. Others become “Americanized” within a generation or less.
    I can only imagine the mindset of Russians who only have generations worth of propaganda as their guide and no first hand experience.

    The USA went through this process after the Viet Nam War and it was both painful and long lasting. I was a little too young but remember it well. The public really wasn’t behind the war. Many soldiers returned from war traumatized by the experience, only to find that the Country they had fought for didn’t appreciate their sacrifice. This created huge problems for society. That generation is only now starting to die out. My point is, Russia will go through something infinitely worse. American casualties in Viet Nam were 58k. Russian casualties in Ukraine: ? … Still Climbing! How can Russian Authorities possibly justify the sacrifice to the Russian People? At the same time coping with a generation of wounded veterans who are likely to be pissed off. Somebody has to be held accountable. In my opinion, the next 40 years of Russian history look grim.

    Hello Constantin! I´m dutch Paul from Spain. I have really 'enjoyed' your show again and although I´ve learned a lot from you lately before this one, this one has been 'the best' AND 'the worst'. The best for being more complete and the worst because the picture is even worse than I had in my mind for Russia. The problem 'how Russia will be able to get on its feet again 'without stepping in the same shit again in the future'. The more I thought about it the more I realised how difficult it would be. I dont´t have emotional ties with Russia but as a social-scientist my approach was more a kind of challenging puzzle. Before your contribution I just saw my idea was that 'all going very well' it would need at least 10 years to get everything on the right track only. After having seen your 'summary' today' my fear is that youre estimate de 'at least two generations' is more realistic to get into an 'overall situation that is some kind of relatively stable democracy'. Being 77 years old now I´m not going to live the day Russia will be more or less out of the shit it is in now. At best I can be a witness of Russia moving in the right direction AND that in the right way. The right way will be necessarily the slow way. I´m hoping for the best for Russia and Ucraine ... with my fingers crossed for you all to have a lot of 'luck' that this will start asap!!!

WHAT COULD BE DONE TO CHANGE FROM REMAINING OR BECOMING ANOTHER "NORTH KOREA" ? ? ? The answer is simple: tell everyone you can tell, and together tell Konstantin to make available every video older than one week (or older than one month) to be allowed (unopposed by him) to be posted on your channel and on many other people's channels, by downloading the video, and uploading it again with a changed title, and if you wish, to make it shorter by cutting it short by using
      "Windows
      Movie Maker" or other simple, easy to use (not complicated apps), with which you could cut shorter or add few words presentation at the beginning of every of his videos to explain how important is that hundreds of millions of people should see his videos and Konstantin should make them available to be downloaded and uploaded to many other channels by many people to spread the knowledge faster so that people could prevent the evil or Russia from becoming one more "North Korea".

      Konstantin is A LIGHT (CONCERNING WHAT IS GOING ON IN RUSSIA) IN A DARK WORLD. WE HOPE THAT YOU READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE TO THE END, SINCE IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU AND FOR MOST PEOPLE ON EARTH. The history proved that all those Russian dictators (as any other dictators from other nations [dictators with deeds like the Russian dictators]) , have ended sooner or later condemned and known as black stains in history, and their hope for fame into history has evaporated, inside Russia and outside Russia when later ( 50 or 100 or more years later ) other kind of people comes and expose the evil of Putin as was exposed also about Lenin, and Stalin, but you
      Konstantin
      for as long as your video uploads (if) will remain preserved into history, and your voice will remain famous into the history's voice record of truth and light (when is concerning) about what is going on in Russia in present times, YOU WILL REMAIN MENTIONED INTO HISTORY WITH A FAME AND POSITIVE CREDIT. Better daily reporting job (about Russia), than yours, at this point in time, does not exist from anyone else as a public daily report. Men like Putin and his Kremlin Corrupt men and Putin's mafia, will envy the positive (good, great) history credit
      that
      you will receive into history and that is possible only through all those videos that you have recorded and uploaded revealing only the light and the truth. But that is why we encourage you to increase the chances that your videos (and through them, you) could survive long time many hundreds of years into history by uploading all your older than one week videos, also to other world-wide video platforms like Vimeo, Rumble and others. Otherwise you should do what Christian Prince
      on his
      UA-cam channel "Christian Prince" did by saying to his subscribers: "any of you who desire, you have my permission to download, save and upload my videos in your own (non-profit) channels and platforms, so that they could get seen much faster world-wide by hundreds of millions of people"; Be wise Konstantin and upload your videos on all platforms to be triple the exposure of being seen by three times more people, or do like Christian Prince did to have his video
      seen by
      1000 times many more people (by hundreds of millions). Your videos have such needs because are time sensitive unlike his videos. Make them available to be seen now by hundreds of times many more people, now when the videos are not too old, and so that your videos could survive when some platforms get pressured to apply censure (or) video platform who may get (sold or bought) in order for the truth to be suppressed or erased. Much the more is important for your
      videos
      to do the same (like Christian Prince did and now tens or hundreds of channels have unloaded his videos and many of them even got translated in different languages, ) but for you is important to have all your past videos seen now by at least half a billion people on earth, because unlike Christian Prince 's videos that are entirely timeless (being no time based and time sensitive, time perishable news like yours are,) but his are based on timeless sensitive biblical knowledge and
      quran
      so called "knowledge" that people will click to see when they bump on the video or by chance gets to see their titles, and won't matter the upload date. The upload date of your news matter very much because your videos are "today's secular world news reporting" about today's Russia while is in today's conflict war in Ukraine, and once it gets very old upload dated, ... even if some people may bump into the titles of your videos, but because having old upload dates, they won't
      want to
      see months or years old news, and not many would click on them. And just with this one single channel of yours, you won't get to have tens of millions to hundreds of millions of people world wide to see your videos now when are important to be seen (and not 10 years from now when won't matter as much to affect any change in people's knowledge or
      deeds
      now when it matters the most). And it is very important to get to have hundreds of millions of people world wide to see your videos now, this year and the next and not after 10 years when your news video are no more relevant because are not biblical and quran without expiration date knowledge, or expiration date professional trade scientific knowledge to always be attractive and valid to see since has no expiration dates like Russian news has.

      Ukraine will be like Vietnam, the shame and guilt of a war that was a lie

    Putin's visit to North Korea reminds me of 1971 Ceausescu's visit to North Korea... After that visit hell came to Romania, because he wanted what the supreme leader had! To be like a God! I fear Putin wants the same thing! To become the supreme leader of Russia! I see nothing but suffering in the future of the ordinary russian!

    I love you, brother. PTSD can get us all. When you're not safe in your dreams, it's hell on earth. 💚, the green is for mental health. Nobody ever has to suffer alone.

    My family is mainly Polish, so as a people, we have had an interesting relationship with Russia's Dictators. But after hearing your opinion, I'm am truly Heart Broken for the Innocent Russian Civilians, and the Future they will face. I can not believe I am saying this, but I really am PRAYING GOD will be merciful to the Innocent People of Russia. And HOPEFULLY, Sanity will return soon to the Russian Government.

    Dear Konstantin. I completely understand your need for joking. When you are working deep into this tragedy every day your ability for gallow humor is a needed ability. I have always used gallopp humor to "stay alive" in difficult situations and my use of gallow humor is the reason why i haven't been deeply depressed and kept a relatively good moode after I was paralyzed, disabled and now have been bedrideen for nearly three years from too high dose of corona vaccine. And my situation is peanuts against what you are going through. Thanks for your incredible work Konstantin. Best Regards from Arne in Norway

    I really enjoy hearing your point of view.
    I started watching all the information I could find about the Russian invasion of Ukraine as soon as it started. I could not believe it. My experiences of Russian encounters while I have visited Thailand left me less than impressed. Rude people.

    I agree with you about Russia and its economy but I think we will see some provinces break away from Russia to become its own countries

    I am not familiar withn this subject but I guess that the main problem for former frontline soldiers is not having been exposed to death.
    These people have experienced that the lives of Russian soldiers are worth exactly nothing to Russia. They have experienced meat wave attacks, being sent to attack without equipment, wounded soldiers not being rescued (or even been killed), Russian soldiers being tortured or killed by their superior officers, war crimes being ordered, executed and not just not persecuted but being rewarded.
    They have experienced an extreme version of the two strongest political rivals of Putin being killed by the state without anyone being punished for that. They have experienced the Russian scorched earth warfare. And having returned from the war they experience being treated like sh*t by the state and most people. They probably realize they are damaged goods now, were not good for anything before the war (because those are the people who volunteer) and now have even less chances to get a good job, ever. Or relationship.
