Thank you for introducing us to Vasya in the Hay. I happened to find Eli & Ralf independently, but it was through your channel that I was led to Sergei. He does incredible work! Keep up the good work!!! Putting this information out there helps people like myself to convey it to our communities and friends circles. Every single bit of knowledge helps! 💚
Welcome Carmen, honestly I got loads of contents around Russia in the pipeline to share but it’s a bit complicated when you don’t have a loyal audience and this isn’t my job. Am privileged to travel around the country and will also think of the few lads here who support the channel so make sure you share with other communities and stay tuned.
Must agree and I think it’s the most beautiful city in Russia . Have visited some great places in and restaurant in St. Petersburg,just awesome place indeed for tourism!
Thanks for your insight. I could not help but wonder how the people of Russia would feel if such a beautiful city was razed to the ground like the beautiful cities and peaceful lives in Ukraine have been. My heart breaks.
*I will answer this question for you, there are no Ukrainian cities, there are Russian cities of Kyiv (the capital of ancient Russia) Odessa, Mariupol, Nikolaev, Kharkov, Dnipro (the old Russian name Yekaterinoslav), etc. There is not any Ukraine invented by the Bolsheviks and Lenin in 1922 , and so these are the territories of the Russian Empire!*
@@UltraTotenkopf If that is the case, why are you destroying your own cities and citizens rather than Ukrainian military installations? Either that’s a lie that you are embracing, or you are just plain murderous maniacs. Which is it?
Well, this can be imagined if Russia did not have a nuclear shield in the form of nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles. NATO countries would have already bombed St. Petersburg and Moscow, as they did with Belgrade. You can certainly imagine it, but why? this is not happening, a nuclear bomb is the best defense against the threat of NATO
Did you say how it was with peaceful life and cities in Ukraine? but what about the fact that the new Ukrainian government declared war on the civilians of Donbass in eastern Ukraine. For 9 years, the inhabitants of Donbass have been under shelling from Ukraine, simply because when there was an illegal armed coup in 2014, the inhabitants of Donbass wanted to join Russia, and in response, Ukraine sent its troops to Donbass. Yes, it’s sad when civilians in both Ukraine and Donbass suffer, but we hypocrite wrote only exclusively about poor Ukrainians, or you watch American propaganda in the form of CNN, where there are no facts, they only put pressure on pity, and at the same time announced an information blockade of Donbass. And if you are from the United States, what do you think about the destroyed civilian lives in Belgrade, when the United States and European countries bombed Yugoslavia, or when the United States killed civilians in Iraq, Iran, Libya, destroyed cities and the economy, led Libya into the Stone Age in general. p.s. I respect the self-determination of the inhabitants of Crimea and Donbass, and this is part of Russia, they deserve it. 9 years of suffering, all these 9 years Ukraine shelled the city of Donetsk, many lives were killed, but all of Europe and the USA were silent.
In Western Europe, the anti Russian propaganda runs 24h a day. And the feeling of cold got also worse for many people who can not afford to pay their bills. But ok, not -25 C like in St. Petersburg. But in Russia, you always have cheap gas to fire in the kitchen, or wood. No one will call you a Nazi just cos you are helping yourself and your family first.
@@dinodinosaur2930 The Brits and US are historically always against Russia. They make no difference between Russia and Soviet Union. And when innocent russian people are discriminated in the EU because of Putins war, then i doubt they are only angry about Putin. They support sanctions that will kill people of the russian federation, an also in Ucraine. Even their own western people, or people in Africa or Asia. If they were only against Putin they would not destroy Europe and the world... They want russia to adapt or vanish, because thy got an agenda which is not compatible with russian way of life.
@@fibboobbif Ukraine was the cultural center Russia... Your Brothers and Sisters... There was no Ukrainian Nazis wanting to invade Russia... The Ukrainian President is of a Jewish background my Friend... No Country for many, many years has ever wanted to bomb Russia... And right now Russia is stealing 25 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain, which is for export to 35 Countries in the world... PUTIN💩
Reporting Russia's misdemeanours is not propaganda, unless the reporting is untrue. As there are hundreds of journalists from all over the world observing what is happening in Ukraine, it is not difficult to establish objectively what is happening.
Strange, i live in Western europe and i do not see this on TV... 🧐🤷 Please show me your source to your claim... I call you.a big lieyer and spreader of misinformation 🤬
Вот тут прям в точку) да и я сам был когда-то либералом про-западником, и не видел ничего такого в НАТО, и в целом в России только плохое видел так же и в нашем прошлом только негатив видел. Потому что от государства что есть? Киселев-Соловьев, и всё, а я вот молодой и начинаю смотреть Навального, интересоваться политикой, что мне даст государство как альтернативное мнение? ничего, вообще с молодежью не хотят, не умеют, я не знаю)) А если и пытаются работать, то создают такой кринж как "совет-блоггеров" Где просто делают селфи для своего пиара, но не ставят цель именно работы с молодежью. Да, у нас молодежь она пропитана западной пропагандой, а что у нас есть как ответ? ну разве что Артемий Лебедев или Стас Ай как просто, но им не платит государство за выпуск роликов, они и критикую наше правительство, и за дело, но и не говорят в стиле "уу как тут страшно жить, высказываться нельзя" Да, у нас куча молодежи которая желает победы Украины и развала России. А всё благодаря тому, что наше государство не может в информационку, не умеет работать с молодежью. Я отошел от либерализма и про-западничества только благодаря другим блоггермам которые критиковали либералов и ловили их на лицемерии и вранье , то есть опять же частная инициатива, да и либералы сами же себя и погубили, просто со временем я начал замечать что не такие уж они и либералы, и несут много глупостей. Вот гость который был на видео Никки, какой же он лицемер)) заглянул на канал, он ещё и навальнист, и иностранной аудитроии говорит что в России нет свободы, и ему бедному пришлось уехать, и вообще как страшно жить в России.

👏👏👏 Great content Ralf & thank you Niki ... 30mins from me ...Russian Czar, Peter the Great, arrived in England in January 1698 and stayed in Sir John Evelyn's house, Sayes Court in Deptford for four months. This monument is erected near the royal shipyard where Peter the Great studied the English science of shipbuilding.
I hear that smaller communities are fairing better then the major cities, anyways you all seem like kind people, again I’m Canadian, and I hope this war ends sooner then later, my last boss was Russian and he is one of the kindest people I know. Anyways this city reminds me of out capital Ottawa. Beautiful buildings Edit: the sanctions are also hurting us all too, :( anyways Peace and unity ✌🏻❤️
Well, modern suburbs look good but smaller cities aren’t broad minded but peaceful.Can’t wait for the conflict to end as well as it’s hurting everyone to be fair
😁😁Niki knows you too?? He also knows Eli whom I watch too! If you guys knew Vika & Roman that would be almost all the vloggers I watch! I also took Niki’s suggestion and added Sergei from Vasa in the Hay! This is fantastic Ralf! 🌈🦄
Hi Ari, yes there are some awesome creators here in Russia but this conflict has really hit on us as we are forced to touch on topics we didn’t sign in for. I can’t wait for this situation around us to come to pass. Very few people can understand the intense stress we all are going through even as we can afford shelter .Whenever this community expands, we shall be getting out some exclusive contents for those interested so please share with others and stay safe.
@@Ducanralf hi Ralf! Absolutely! I agree. These are frightening days World wide as this affects us all, some worse than others. In the United States currently Russia and the Ukraine have become a tender spot by way of topics. I explain to my friends that this is the Russian government making these decisions and it has absolutely nothing to do with the common citizens and residents of the country. It was frightening to suddenly be cut off from my Russian friends via the Postal Service too. It was so abrupt. Now I can’t even send anything into Russia for any of my friends. A number of people I know from Russia have fled as well. Many of them have gone to Georgia and the surrounding areas like Uzbekistan and other parts of Asia. This is a devastating series of events and like you, I truly hope it ends soon. I worry about all of the vloggers that I’ve come to feel that I personally know just by watching the weekly postings. For me that makes it even more difficult emotionally because I know the longer this goes on the more opportunities exist for the situation in Russia in the day-to-day lives of average citizens to become more seriously damaged and even more difficulty with struggling to survive. Just know that there Are others like me here in the US that support you guys and care about what is happening in your lives as common citizens. We worry for all of you. Despite these political issues you are all our brothers and sisters too and I wish governments could understand that we are all connected and damaging one country is akin to damaging a part of the whole of the body and it will affect the entirety Not just one isolated section. It is like sticking a dagger into an organ and expecting the entire body to feel no affects from the injury. I support everything you are each doing to share your lives with us. The only cure to this poison is knowledge! The more you share, the more we learn and thusly we continue the process of sharing what we have learned with others in turn. It is only through compassion and a willingness to listen to one another that a difference can be made in our world. So please Keep Sharing and people like me, we will Also keep sharing what we learn. These are the things that manifest change for tomorrow. Keep fighting the good fight and people like myself will stand beside you! ✊🤜🤛 Much Love from the Great Lakes USA.
Unfortunately the Russian people my wife and I met on holiday in Egypt were aggressive, impatient, greedy and many drank alcohol excessively. They would push in whilst queuing up for meals, hot drinks and to get on the tour bus. It’s lovely to meet Niki’s friends and see that most Russians are friendly and lovely people 🇷🇺🥳👍
I really don't like how Nikki tend to be anti Russia: he almost on every of his video demonizes russia, his homeland... Except he is seeking western audience, which of course may loose them with time Thumbs up Ralph for just being plain
I am a fan of Nikki, I am subscribed to him, but I 100% agree. And I think you are exactly correct: younger Russian bloggers have a huge bias towards the west and they cater to western audiences. I don't know why. I am American and myself support Russia!
I see what you mean but again variable opinions can only enhance any society. All we need is to respect others positions.I personally thing think some creators here turn to feed their audience with the right meal.See what I mean?Niki believes in what he says that’s why I respect ✊🏿 his stance .
@@Ducanralf I understand what you are saying, however, countless of times has he been static on his view about Russia. Does it mean there is no light coming out of Russia, or does it mean the govt actions are always bad. I really don't want to delve in much into politics, which is not what this video is all about, nonetheless, Russian govt, Vladimirs position towards the west is ideally perfect. Infact, categorically has the west and nato stated how they want to destroy Russia. I mean, has it come to that level they not only demonizes Russians even in diaspora, but they also stated it plain how they gladly want to annihilate Russia. And this is just solely from the western USA. Now, will a country as mighty as Russia folds it hands and do nothing. Will you allow the country you re living in being destroyed by the West. Look, am a Nigerian, I should be siding the west, but no, seeing what they do in other country that does not oblige to their rule, they invade and bomb...
Probably this Petersburger is used to buying in stores for the rich. I live in the suburbs of St. Petersburg and food prices in chain supermarkets have fallen in price by about 5% over the week. I love cheese and track its price. I will assume that "Nikki" himself does not go anywhere and his wife does it for him. Or he doesn't know how to cook. 🤷♂️
@@sharonharris9782 I looked at the price tags and made sure that food in the suburbs is cheaper than in the center of St. Petersburg. I'm sorry I hurt your Pokémon.
Really great vlog, you both really discussed some very important topics, mainly racism, a topic most people would like to avoid, you had the guts to discuss it. I am multi- racial black Russian, my father was born in Soviet Union in Rostov on Don, lived later in Leningrad then Moscow. My mother born in America. My parents knew a lot of great people from every nationality. My father did not have one prejudice bone in his body. After he married my mother, we lived in France then Germany but only after we traveled back to live in the United States, they both faced racism because my father was Russian and my mother was Black Irish and American Indian. I really think that there is much more racism in USA than anywhere in the world completely separating people from peace friendship and unity. Sad that it's all about money here as far as the sanctions there, this is happening everywhere here in New York, we had Manhattan Mall close all stores left and it has not re- opened we have what's called Macy's department store that has been around for decades. Also many stores that close here in the states are replaced with different stores although most stores are leaving for political reasons in Russia it is understandable people are upset. I really think that the western stores are just taking money from pockets and in the long run may be better to not worry about such stores, the Russian stores will be better, when I was growing up all of my nice clothes came from Russia. I think McDonald's will come back as Uncle Vanya's and everything will be fine😄
Le Pug 👍🏽 Thank you for your life story which has been special ...🙏 Are your Mom & Dad still alive❓ Your going to find racism in every Country but when the economy gets bad people get stressed, angry and want to blame someone sadly.
@@Ducanralf Thank You that would be great to share with others that there are people who have gone through the same issues who prevailed and lived great lives.
“I really think that the western stores are just taking money from pockets”……….Er…..That’s the basis of capitalism. They make and sell stuff and if you want it, you give them money……It’s easy to understand. Even for you.🤣
Ralf, amazing interview! The reason why Russians not racists I think is absence of Color persons too much in Russia and no history of relations between our nations.
Ральфс, ну.... ты нашёл местного бомжа... не знаю ,что он там "кушает" , но я не заметил резкого удорожания продуктов , ну кроме прям санкционных ) возможно он привык пить и кушать CocaCola , тут да .. стоить она стала на 300% больше.., всё остальное на уровне стандартной инфляции, а мне кажется я ещё больше стал покупать так как появляются свободные деньги.
Ну, это касается мнений, и, возможно, он сталкивается с чем-то трудным, чем многие. Правда в том, что когда были объявлены санкции, в бизнес-секторе была паника, но я думаю, что большинство из нас в России адаптировались к новой реальности. Не забудьте поделиться видео, чтобы мы могли услышать мнения разных людей.
@@Ducanralf I’ve been busy with work tbh but it’s good to see you still doing videos out there in Russia. With all the sanctions do you think you will stay in Russia?
This video created so many questions. It seemed like it started out as an advertisement to visit Russia which most can't do at this point. As an American, I can't see myself visiting a country that talks about nuking England and the US as if it was a viable option from Russian late night tv. There is nothing there that shows Americans are welcome in Russia. Niki was saying that Russians are not racist. I have been watching videos of going thru Russia and I don't see any blacks. If you watch videos of cities like New York and Chicago etc you will see black folks. You can't compare America with Russia in that aspect. It's hard to trust a white Russian's opinion on if Russians are racist if he has never experienced it himself. Chances are he never will. Changing the subject I see some comments about how Russian vloggers may use or twist the truth in Russia to get more viewers. I certainly believe this. I can see Russian vloggers showing what westerners want to see to get more views and money. But it's ok. Watching videos like this one are cheaper than subscribing to HBO.
Mark I see exactly what you mean. We all know giving birth is a painful but can’t understand to what extend is the pain. Niki is a nice lad and not naive about this as he has lived abroad. In regards to views, I have noticed many local creators show mostly the most destitute areas of Russia 🇷🇺 so as to please their American viewers. As an African I understand fully well that strategy but my channel wasn’t created for that purpose. I got some interesting footage at places I have visited in Russia but again, this crisis has hinder plans . Finally isn’t easy to stick to plan when you have a committed audience . Cheers
Pretty intellectually dishonest to say that Russia doesn’t have the race issues that the US has - Russia doesn’t have the racial diversity that the US has, either. The population of Russia is 144 million - only 70,000 of that population is black. The population in the US is 300 million - 38 million are black. It’s completely different. I’m not trying to justify the racial Problems that we have in the US. They are real and they are terrible and we must do better. But Russia doesn’t have a race problem because Russia doesn’t allow black people into the country. Let’s be real.
Was ok with your opinion until you use the phrase “allow black people into their country”. That’s not true,Russia people aren’t that hard on blacks since the past decade the have been a changed in the way immigrants are perceived in Russia “believe me”.The color issue isn’t a problem today but yes there are some primitive folks who will laugh after seeing a black from time to time.This must be my first video you saw. I got some interesting vlogs about real situation about Russia 🇷🇺. Make sure you share and stay put fir more videos about Russia
Bro, there are so many different nationality in Russia. Tatars, mongols, Chechens, Chinese and so many different cultures. I was in many countries and trust me, Russia is most diversity multi cultural..see have many languages are in Russia...go far east, travel with transsiberian railroad.
Ralf ganz im Ernst kann echt nicht verstehen wie du in dem Land Grade weiterleben kannst. Klar hast dein ganzes Umfeld und Beruf da aber ich könnte das jetzt nicht mehr.
I clearly understand your view but how those such move change the situation?Had some hard words and mails from some here about me staying but no one has never come out with a solution. You don’t go to war with bread sticks and hope to change something.We are all spectators of what’s going on so no need to judge others. Thanks for the comment Arne and stay safe .
@@Ducanralf Ich Weiß und eine gute Lösung gibt es auch nicht und ich kann dir natürlich auch nicht sagen was gut für dich ist kenne dich ja null allein das ist ja absurd. Nur was die Russische Regierung gestartet hat bricht mit allem was ich mir je In Europa unseres Jahrhunderts vorstellen hätte können. Es ist so bitter das wir zurück in den dunkelsten Zeiten des Kontinents zurück sind. Und das die russische Bevölkerung das alles mitmacht zu einem großen Teil ist als Deutscher aufgrund unserer Geschichte so bitter und herzzerreißend zu sehen.

It is a beautiful city, while another beautiful cultural historic cities in Ukraine are brutally destroyed by Russian armes and soldiers… the things are getting more and more expensive, but so as everywhere in Europe, thanks to the brutality of one evil person… and people in our neighbouring country are deprived of houses, families, foods, peace, and more… i loose words when ordinary Russians live as if almost normally… sad…
Are only cultural places important to you? but what about the lives of Ukrainians, or the lives of the inhabitants of Donbass. You are sad, but when the inhabitants of Donbass were shelled by Ukraine, you did not grieve.
i cant understand how russian people can be as it seens to be so relaxed living good life when their goverment killing innocent people erases citys, treathen lot of other countrys in Europe ..My trust of uprising Russian citizens is gone forever.. Russia become to be a new North korea
What are you talking about? and how Americans can live in peace when her country killed civilians in Yugoslavia, bombed Belgrade, schools and hospitals. And in the bombing of Belgrade, NATO countries took over. And just imagine the Americans lived a quiet life and even supported their country when the United States bombed and buoyed civilians in Iraq, Iran, Libya, etc. Even Ukrainians calmly allowed themselves to live when their government shells the east of Ukraine, declares war on the inhabitants of Donbass. And how can the inhabitants of Israel sleep peacefully when their rulers are killing the inhabitants of Palestine?
@@janedman What you wrote is not a convincing argument, try to better substantiate your point of view. You can't just write me "you're brainwashed by propaganda" No, dude, that's not how it works, your statement is not a counterargument.

Giving you new information loss of Russian soldiers lost as of today at 5:33 is 30,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in this conflict in Ukraine we find that this has become a grueling slugging match between both forces both forces have been losing equipment and men in this useless conflict that should have never happened Europe and the United States and many other nations around the world are helping Ukraine and would- have been helping with humanitarian needs and weapons or ammunition or supplies that is badly needed but it is not flowing in like a flood it is piecemeal you have to give the Ukrainian People Credit they are standing their ground giving as good as they get Russian military forces are paying very heavy for every foot of ground ukrainians are making them pay in blood now you can join the Russian army anybody who wants to at the age of 50 years old they have bumped the edge up higher soon Putin will allow crippled old people using walkers to join as well Putin is getting desperate instead of bringing an end to this stupid conflict and making peace with the world I'm bringing an end to this conflict and rebuilding Russia's economy it he continues with this stupid conflict that is only wasting good human life for nothing on both sides what a damn waste so thought I'd pass this on to you so you can see what's going on you probably know that already but sometimes the information doesn't get through like it should this is not a lie this is the truth that we know the truth according to the UN and several other sources that are passing the information good luck Nikki give my best to your parents don't give up hope there's always a chance that this could end tomorrow
Your source of dead rate of russian soldier? You should be protest to your govt tp stop sending weapons and your tax money to nazis regime Elensky Govt to killed civillian in Donbass.

I hear that smaller communities are fairing better then the major cities, anyways you all seem like kind people, again I’m Canadian, and I hope this war ends sooner then later, my last boss was Russian and he is one of the kindest people I know. Anyways this city reminds me of out capital Ottawa. Beautiful buildings
Edit: the sanctions are also hurting us all too, :( anyways Peace and unity ✌🏻❤️
Well, modern suburbs look good but smaller cities aren’t broad minded but peaceful.Can’t wait for the conflict to end as well as it’s hurting everyone to be fair
I used to buy Rice for 40 Rubles / 900 Grams. But now it's 120 Rubles. Up by 300%. God Damn it !!
And with the strong ruble it might become more expensive 🤨
😁😁Niki knows you too?? He also knows Eli whom I watch too! If you guys knew Vika & Roman that would be almost all the vloggers I watch! I also took Niki’s suggestion and added Sergei from Vasa in the Hay! This is fantastic Ralf! 🌈🦄
Hi Ari, yes there are some awesome creators here in Russia but this conflict has really hit on us as we are forced to touch on topics we didn’t sign in for. I can’t wait for this situation around us to come to pass. Very few people can understand the intense stress we all are going through even as we can afford shelter .Whenever this community expands, we shall be getting out some exclusive contents for those interested so please share with others and stay safe.
@@Ducanralf hi Ralf! Absolutely! I agree. These are frightening days World wide as this affects us all, some worse than others. In the United States currently Russia and the Ukraine have become a tender spot by way of topics. I explain to my friends that this is the Russian government making these decisions and it has absolutely nothing to do with the common citizens and residents of the country. It was frightening to suddenly be cut off from my Russian friends via the Postal Service too. It was so abrupt. Now I can’t even send anything into Russia for any of my friends. A number of people I know from Russia have fled as well. Many of them have gone to Georgia and the surrounding areas like Uzbekistan and other parts of Asia. This is a devastating series of events and like you, I truly hope it ends soon. I worry about all of the vloggers that I’ve come to feel that I personally know just by watching the weekly postings. For me that makes it even more difficult emotionally because I know the longer this goes on the more opportunities exist for the situation in Russia in the day-to-day lives of average citizens to become more seriously damaged and even more difficulty with struggling to survive. Just know that there Are others like me here in the US that support you guys and care about what is happening in your lives as common citizens. We worry for all of you. Despite these political issues you are all our brothers and sisters too and I wish governments could understand that we are all connected and damaging one country is akin to damaging a part of the whole of the body and it will affect the entirety Not just one isolated section. It is like sticking a dagger into an organ and expecting the entire body to feel no affects from the injury. I support everything you are each doing to share your lives with us. The only cure to this poison is knowledge! The more you share, the more we learn and thusly we continue the process of sharing what we have learned with others in turn. It is only through compassion and a willingness to listen to one another that a difference can be made in our world. So please Keep Sharing and people like me, we will Also keep sharing what we learn. These are the things that manifest change for tomorrow. Keep fighting the good fight and people like myself will stand beside you! ✊🤜🤛 Much Love from the Great Lakes USA.

Good editing.. Thanks
Thanks pal
Unfortunately the Russian people my wife and I met on holiday in Egypt were aggressive, impatient, greedy and many drank alcohol excessively. They would push in whilst queuing up for meals, hot drinks and to get on the tour bus.
It’s lovely to meet Niki’s friends and see that most Russians are friendly and lovely people 🇷🇺🥳👍
not all are such Russian people we are kind and friendly it all depends on the person there are good and bad people everywhere😄
Every country have their own pigs in herd)
Awesome video... Thank you!, it have subscribed to this channel. 👍🏻👌
Welcome J M and big thanks . Also make sure you share with others and stay put.
I really don't like how Nikki tend to be anti Russia: he almost on every of his video demonizes russia, his homeland... Except he is seeking western audience, which of course may loose them with time
Thumbs up Ralph for just being plain
I am a fan of Nikki, I am subscribed to him, but I 100% agree. And I think you are exactly correct: younger Russian bloggers have a huge bias towards the west and they cater to western audiences. I don't know why. I am American and myself support Russia!
Just saying the truth .
I see what you mean but again variable opinions can only enhance any society. All we need is to respect others positions.I personally thing think some creators here turn to feed their audience with the right meal.See what I mean?Niki believes in what he says that’s why I respect ✊🏿 his stance .
@@Ducanralf
I understand what you are saying, however, countless of times has he been static on his view about Russia. Does it mean there is no light coming out of Russia, or does it mean the govt actions are always bad.
I really don't want to delve in much into politics, which is not what this video is all about, nonetheless, Russian govt, Vladimirs position towards the west is ideally perfect. Infact, categorically has the west and nato stated how they want to destroy Russia. I mean, has it come to that level they not only demonizes Russians even in diaspora, but they also stated it plain how they gladly want to annihilate Russia. And this is just solely from the western USA. Now, will a country as mighty as Russia folds it hands and do nothing. Will you allow the country you re living in being destroyed by the West.
Look, am a Nigerian, I should be siding the west, but no, seeing what they do in other country that does not oblige to their rule, they invade and bomb...
He is young he probably have no idea of world politics
Probably this Petersburger is used to buying in stores for the rich. I live in the suburbs of St. Petersburg and food prices in chain supermarkets have fallen in price by about 5% over the week. I love cheese and track its price. I will assume that "Nikki" himself does not go anywhere and his wife does it for him. Or he doesn't know how to cook. 🤷♂️
You'd be wrong thinking that .
You obviously know nothing about Nikki!
@@sharonharris9782 I looked at the price tags and made sure that food in the suburbs is cheaper than in the center of St. Petersburg. I'm sorry I hurt your Pokémon.
Really great vlog, you both really discussed some very important topics, mainly racism, a topic most people would like to avoid, you had the guts to discuss it. I am multi- racial black Russian, my father was born in Soviet Union in Rostov on Don, lived later in Leningrad then Moscow. My mother born in America. My parents knew a lot of great people from every nationality. My father did not have one prejudice bone in his body. After he married my mother, we lived in France then Germany but only after we traveled back to live in the United States, they both faced racism because my father was Russian and my mother was Black Irish and American Indian. I really think that there is much more racism in USA than anywhere in the world completely separating people from peace friendship and unity. Sad that it's all about money here as far as the sanctions there, this is happening everywhere here in New York, we had Manhattan Mall close all stores left and it has not re- opened we have what's called Macy's department store that has been around for decades. Also many stores that close here in the states are replaced with different stores although most stores are leaving for political reasons in Russia it is understandable people are upset. I really think that the western stores are just taking money from pockets and in the long run may be better to not worry about such stores, the Russian stores will be better, when I was growing up all of my nice clothes came from Russia. I think McDonald's will come back as Uncle Vanya's and everything will be fine😄
Le Pug 👍🏽 Thank you for your life story which has been special ...🙏 Are your Mom & Dad still alive❓
Your going to find racism in every Country but when the economy gets bad people get stressed, angry and want to blame someone sadly.
Wow what a story , would love to share it with others.
@@Ducanralf Thank You that would be great to share with others that there are people who have gone through the same issues who prevailed and lived great lives.
“I really think that the western stores are just taking money from pockets”……….Er…..That’s the basis of capitalism. They make and sell stuff and if you want it, you give them money……It’s easy to understand. Even for you.🤣
How did you get away with those colours, I was expecting you to get picked up by the cops?
While the colors looks similar to Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag on video, the yellow is gold and Russian police aren zombie’s.
As more information comes across I will send it to you
Good man, thanks Douglas . Many forget YT is a community and am ready to listen to both side of story !
Cool thumbnail, cool dudes 😎😎
Thanks a lot dear
@@Ducanralf 💙✊
Ralf, amazing interview! The reason why Russians not racists I think is absence of Color persons too much in Russia and no history of relations between our nations.
Thanks mate and I think you have a point but again stay tuned on Niki’s interviewing me. He might share the video sometime
Inflation in South East Asia have a deep impact in our daily lives too.
So you clearly see what we mean?
Ральфс, ну.... ты нашёл местного бомжа... не знаю ,что он там "кушает" , но я не заметил резкого удорожания продуктов , ну кроме прям санкционных ) возможно он привык пить и кушать CocaCola , тут да .. стоить она стала на 300% больше.., всё остальное на уровне стандартной инфляции, а мне кажется я ещё больше стал покупать так как появляются свободные деньги.
Ну, это касается мнений, и, возможно, он сталкивается с чем-то трудным, чем многие. Правда в том, что когда были объявлены санкции, в бизнес-секторе была паника, но я думаю, что большинство из нас в России адаптировались к новой реальности. Не забудьте поделиться видео, чтобы мы могли услышать мнения разных людей.
Hi Niki!
Good video Ralf
Thanks mate, where have you been all these while. Glad to read from you.
@@Ducanralf I’ve been busy with work tbh but it’s good to see you still doing videos out there in Russia. With all the sanctions do you think you will stay in Russia?
Do you have any friends in the operation? Do you know anyone who has lost someone from it?
Personally No!
Wow, I think you just don't get it. Nobody is going to come to Russia now.
Your opinion Is legit just like others but let’s see John !
Mentioning to be friendly to friends, only in RuZZia.

This video created so many questions. It seemed like it started out as an advertisement to visit Russia which most can't do at this point. As an American, I can't see myself visiting a country that talks about nuking England and the US as if it was a viable option from Russian late night tv. There is nothing there that shows Americans are welcome in Russia. Niki was saying that Russians are not racist. I have been watching videos of going thru Russia and I don't see any blacks. If you watch videos of cities like New York and Chicago etc you will see black folks. You can't compare America with Russia in that aspect. It's hard to trust a white Russian's opinion on if Russians are racist if he has never experienced it himself. Chances are he never will. Changing the subject I see some comments about how Russian vloggers may use or twist the truth in Russia to get more viewers. I certainly believe this. I can see Russian vloggers showing what westerners want to see to get more views and money. But it's ok. Watching videos like this one are cheaper than subscribing to HBO.
Mark I see exactly what you mean. We all know giving birth is a painful but can’t understand to what extend is the pain. Niki is a nice lad and not naive about this as he has lived abroad. In regards to views, I have noticed many local creators show mostly the most destitute areas of Russia 🇷🇺 so as to please their American viewers. As an African I understand fully well that strategy but my channel wasn’t created for that purpose. I got some interesting footage at places I have visited in Russia but again, this crisis has hinder plans . Finally isn’t easy to stick to plan when you have a committed audience . Cheers
Nikkis shirt means he is posted to serve in russian navy😆😆😆😆😆 good luck guys
😂
No, Russian navy shirt has different stripes.
Yellow/blue jacket, I see what u did there :D
Nothing political as it was the warmest cloth I had around.
Your government can feed the citizens if they want to. Russia can afford it .
Pretty intellectually dishonest to say that Russia doesn’t have the race issues that the US has - Russia doesn’t have the racial diversity that the US has, either. The population of Russia is 144 million - only 70,000 of that population is black.
The population in the US is 300 million - 38 million are black. It’s completely different. I’m not trying to justify the racial Problems that we have in the US. They are real and they are terrible and we must do better.
But Russia doesn’t have a race problem because Russia doesn’t allow black people into the country. Let’s be real.
Was ok with your opinion until you use the phrase “allow black people into their country”. That’s not true,Russia people aren’t that hard on blacks since the past decade the have been a changed in the way immigrants are perceived in Russia “believe me”.The color issue isn’t a problem today but yes there are some primitive folks who will laugh after seeing a black from time to time.This must be my first video you saw. I got some interesting vlogs about real situation about Russia 🇷🇺. Make sure you share and stay put fir more videos about Russia
In russia 190+ types ethenic people living 🤦
"Russia does not let blacks into the country" - this characterized you as absolutely ignorant of the situation in Russia.😂
@@Ducanralf what would be a better way to say it? With only 70,000 it would suggest that you don’t have an endemic black population.
Bro, there are so many different nationality in Russia. Tatars, mongols, Chechens, Chinese and so many different cultures. I was in many countries and trust me, Russia is most diversity multi cultural..see have many languages are in Russia...go far east, travel with transsiberian railroad.
Ralf ganz im Ernst kann echt nicht verstehen wie du in dem Land Grade weiterleben kannst. Klar hast dein ganzes Umfeld und Beruf da aber ich könnte das jetzt nicht mehr.
I clearly understand your view but how those such move change the situation?Had some hard words and mails from some here about me staying but no one has never come out with a solution. You don’t go to war with bread sticks and hope to change something.We are all spectators of what’s going on so no need to judge others. Thanks for the comment Arne and stay safe .
@@Ducanralf Ich Weiß und eine gute Lösung gibt es auch nicht und ich kann dir natürlich auch nicht sagen was gut für dich ist kenne dich ja null allein das ist ja absurd. Nur was die Russische Regierung gestartet hat bricht mit allem was ich mir je In Europa unseres Jahrhunderts vorstellen hätte können. Es ist so bitter das wir zurück in den dunkelsten Zeiten des Kontinents zurück sind. Und das die russische Bevölkerung das alles mitmacht zu einem großen Teil ist als Deutscher aufgrund unserer Geschichte so bitter und herzzerreißend zu sehen.
And why in Russia it is impossible to live further? Could you explain your point of view in more detail and argue?
For cultural I rather go to Kiyv and keep my own passport lolz
The beauty of life is choice, but respect others as well . Thanks for the comment

Russia not racist? Mate, go to Ukraine, then talk again!
Russians welcoming literal millions of Ukrainians at their own welfare system expense are raising brows, but still not surprised by zombie comment.
It is a beautiful city, while another beautiful cultural historic cities in Ukraine are brutally destroyed by Russian armes and soldiers… the things are getting more and more expensive, but so as everywhere in Europe, thanks to the brutality of one evil person… and people in our neighbouring country are deprived of houses, families, foods, peace, and more… i loose words when ordinary Russians live as if almost normally… sad…
Tough times Michell, can’t spot praying for peace ☮️
Are only cultural places important to you? but what about the lives of Ukrainians, or the lives of the inhabitants of Donbass.
You are sad, but when the inhabitants of Donbass were shelled by Ukraine, you did not grieve.
i cant understand how russian people can be as it seens to be so relaxed living good life when their goverment killing innocent people erases citys, treathen lot of other countrys in Europe ..My trust of uprising Russian citizens is gone forever.. Russia become to be a new North korea
Life isn’t as easy as we see it for real. If you know you know !
What are you talking about? and how Americans can live in peace when her country killed civilians in Yugoslavia, bombed Belgrade, schools and hospitals. And in the bombing of Belgrade, NATO countries took over.
And just imagine the Americans lived a quiet life and even supported their country when the United States bombed and buoyed civilians in Iraq, Iran, Libya, etc.
Even Ukrainians calmly allowed themselves to live when their government shells the east of Ukraine, declares war on the inhabitants of Donbass.
And how can the inhabitants of Israel sleep peacefully when their rulers are killing the inhabitants of Palestine?

Giving you new information loss of Russian soldiers lost as of today at 5:33 is 30,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in this conflict in Ukraine we find that this has become a grueling slugging match between both forces both forces have been losing equipment and men in this useless conflict that should have never happened Europe and the United States and many other nations around the world are helping Ukraine and would- have been helping with humanitarian needs and weapons or ammunition or supplies that is badly needed but it is not flowing in like a flood it is piecemeal you have to give the Ukrainian People Credit they are standing their ground giving as good as they get Russian military forces are paying very heavy for every foot of ground ukrainians are making them pay in blood now you can join the Russian army anybody who wants to at the age of 50 years old they have bumped the edge up higher soon Putin will allow crippled old people using walkers to join as well Putin is getting desperate instead of bringing an end to this stupid conflict and making peace with the world I'm bringing an end to this conflict and rebuilding Russia's economy it he continues with this stupid conflict that is only wasting good human life for nothing on both sides what a damn waste so thought I'd pass this on to you so you can see what's going on you probably know that already but sometimes the information doesn't get through like it should this is not a lie this is the truth that we know the truth according to the UN and several other sources that are passing the information good luck Nikki give my best to your parents don't give up hope there's always a chance that this could end tomorrow
