Simply glorious and majestic .How wonderful to share this with us for The festive season Thanks Russell for showing sharing and your informative and honest journeys in this unique country. One day the West will appreciate the majesty that is Russia. Cannot wait to visit ♥️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇦🇺
Hi Russell. We certainly don't have decorations anywhere near as good as those in Northampton UK. If you were to walk around on Christmas Day the place would be almost deserted compared to where you are. Love the videos, many thanks, Ian
I love your videos! I love seeing just the daily life of Russians. Very relatable, easy to watch. It’s videos like this that remind us all that we all are just humans trying to live life the best we all can. Have a very happy new year!
Professor, Moscow Center is in my “Heart”! So beautiful all the time you have sown your videos! I sing the praises of the cleanliness, beauty, engineering! Just as you said earlier, Many products are “Made in Russia” hence less expensive than the USA!
Now in Russia you can't find goods made in the US or EU countries, most of the goods are russian and a lot of chinese and belarusian. In some categories you can find goods from the former Soviet republics, Turkey, Latin America and other countries of the free non-Western world
VERY LOVELY, RUSSELL...I WAS IN TEARS FOR THE BEAUTY OF IT...OH MY GOODNESS...NOTHING LIKE THIS OVER HERE IN CANADA...YOU TRULY ARE BLESSED TO LIVE THERE...THANKYOU...SLAVA RUSSIA!...VANCOUVER, CANADA...🙏🏻
It looks like you enjoyed making this video for us. I hope your wife enjoyed her quiet day at home. I hope you and your wife had a wonderful New Year and Christmas. Best wishes to you both for 2025.
She loves it when I go out filming for the day. I have asked her over and over to come for a New Year walk, but I know for this video, it would have been too crowded. I am ok with it. I have walked these streets 100s of times before, so its a comfortable area I know my way around.
Thanks, it basically lasts for 10 days, where people have holidays. That's the main reason you see so many people in the city doing these walked like I am.
Just came home from there ☺️ and this location is not the only one in Moscow, there are much more of them in each and every part of the city, all are very beautiful and unique
Так и есть. В разных районах города есть новогодние локации где не только всё украшенно по новогоднему и продают разные вкусняшки и сувениры, но и проводят концерты, конкурсы и разные активные развлечения. Это всё организовано городскими властями.
Moscow at Christmas is absolutely stunning - thank you for the tour! You have a wonderful ability to film smoothly while providing off the cuff commentary that makes the viewer feel as if they are there with you. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
@@ЛеонидКалиниченко-ш2с A proč bych rozbíjel televizi? Mám oči a koukám a mám uši a poslouchám. Nebo to snad není video z Ruska? Přijeďte se podívat sem, jak se tady my máme "dobře".....

An absolutely wonderful place. Thanks Russel for bringing all this magic to our homes. I cannot understand why the US and it's western vassals hate Russia. Dear God let there be peace.
Big wow, it is so beautiful place 😍 ❤ and big wow, it is so beautiful christmass lights.I understand your wife dislikes a big crowd place as i am too .... Christmas Day and New Year's Day everywhere is closed completely here 😱 everyone is staying at home to do all cooking and resting and playing on toys and gifts and go church on Christmas day 😊 your place is great for tourist 😊
Russel I am new to your channel and I really enjoy the videos you make about Moscow I was wondering if you could show us other cities in Russia like Kazan Vladivostok Yekaterinburg and Rostov on Don and so on also It would be great to learn about different Russian republics with their unique languages cultures and ethnicities such as Chechen and Tatar cultures
@57Aurora I know Marina but she's Russian, and Russel is a foreigner and he showing the country from a foreigner's point of view, which is why I love his videos its more interesting to me.
Если Ростов ещё в разумных пределах досягаемости, то такие города как Владивосток очень проблематично показать. Туда поездка на поезде займет целую неделю в одну сторону)
Рассел я прошу вас начните посещать летом другие российские города. Под вашими видео часто пишут коментарии что все что вы показываете есть только в Москве а все остальные города России ужасные. Я как житель города Благовещенска на дальнем востоке хотел бы чтобы вы приехали и показали наш город в тысячах километров от Москвы у нас замечательная набережная и строится канатная дорога в Китай. Есть несколько торговых центов и парков. Вы могли бы попробовать китайскую кухню тут она особенная. Только приезжайте летом так как климат Дальнего востока зимой очень суровый.
I am going to go back to the Globus cafe after this coming week. Once the crowd get a little easier. I went in at the end of this video, but there was too many people to even find a place to sit.
All we are missing here in Moscow is a bit more snow. However for this sort of video, your busy looking up at the lights, decorations and trees anyway. ))
Moscow's budget is bigger than that of some European countries, so all such events, all the decorations, the organisation - everything is paid for from the city budget
Getting a ticket is near impossible at this time of year. I would have to sell my car to afford a ticket for the coming few weeks, and dust off my suit to get inside. I would really love to film in there. You need to convince my wife to pay for a ticket first, unless you want to sponsor a ticket to the nutcracker.
@@TravellingwithRussell Russell, there are guided tours to the Bolshoi Theatre. You can even see the backstage and the rehearsal. The prices are reasonable.
Professor, I have an audience of “One” when I am driven into Washington D.C. for my Health Care. I sing the praises of Russia… My audience of “Drivers” smile and nod because no one else praises Beautiful Russia and its lovely people!
Professor, I shared the beautiful New Metro Station “Green Lin” with my friend at SS Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church. Highly recommend in that her beautiful 14 year of son …learn Trains in Russia!
That's because most councils plus the government in Australia are trying to destroy Christmas, it's pathetic to see how our traditions are being eroded
It is beautiful and can see a lot of effort made for all these decorations. Also like seeing what people are wearing and all the lovely outfits. You are lucky to be there. From NZ
I think it would be right to allow graphiti to be painted on the walls of the stores of companies that have supposedly left Russia so that they look, well, like downtown San Francisco, for example.....
That's the thing, it seems like the street with all the upscale stores looked cleaner than ever. Of course a few are closed, but it was a perfect way to repurpose the street for the holidays.
@@TravellingwithRussell You dodged that bullet. lol. I agree. Whatever you call this season it is sort of magical, you can check your problems at the door for a few days, and just enjoy the season.
Wow. It looks busier and more popular than 'New Years Day' in this video. I understand from videos I've seen that Christmas is very much supposed to be the 'Religious' holiday in Russia, with New Year being more significant for celebrations. Out of curiosity, are there clear religious connotations that distinguish them. I mean can you feel it in the bones? Here in Britain, at least in London... I'm not sure people even recognize it as having anything to do with religion anymore!
В ночь с 6 на 7 января у нас проводят праздничную службу во всех православных храмах, на которых присутствует и руководство нашей России. А я пошла в храм рядом со своим домом утром 7 января, зажгла свечи, помолилась, долго любовалась украшениями храма. Очень красиво украсили и сам храм, и дворик около храма. К вечеру ко мне пришли мои дети с поздравлениями. Так обычно празднуют Рождество в семьях России. Когда были живы мои родители, Я приезжала к ним в маленькое село, расположенное посреди огромного леса и мы с мамой ночью шли на службу в Храм. Дорогу освещали фонариками, шли по сугробам, не замечая мороза, и нам было так весело!
Professor, kindly give my best wishes to E. Please know, USA in certain areas have a “Spike in COVID cases! E is with you in your heart! She is very happy!
@@TravellingwithRussell Yes, Russell. I wish you could visit a church in Moscow someday for a service celebrating the Birth of Christ. This is the real way Orthodox Christians celebrate Rozhdestvo....
Hey Russell! 😊 Came here to thank you and to say that Snegurochka is not Ded Moroz's granddaughter! Snegurochka in fact is a girl who froze to death. Ded Moroz calls her vnuchka because it's a word used by older people to address any young girl 😊
я живу в России, мне 60 лет и я впервые слышу, что Дед Мороз гуляет с покойником на детских праздниках. Где Вы взяли эту информацию? Единственная сказка на эту тему приходит на ум, где бездетные муж с женой слепили себе из снега девочку, она ожила, а весной растаяла, прыгая через костер.У Островского есть сказка "Снегурочка" по мотивам сказок Афанасьева, там она дочка Деда Мороза и Весны. Пожилые люди у нас не обращаются ко всем молодым девушкам "внучка", чаще просто "девушка", к детям "деточка" или "детё"
@@НаталияБоброва-з7ц не помню исследователя, но в фольклоре народов севера Дед Мороз ( а до того - Север / Карачун/ Трескун и тд) - вовсе не добродушный герой. И посох его превращал людей и непослушных детей в ледышки. Это кстати, частично сохранилось, например, в Нидерландах, где детей пугают, что непослушных заберут в мешке к чертям. Так вот. В язычестве был обряд жертвоприношения - молодую девушку свозили в лес, привязывали к дереву, а через неделю проверяли, принял ли Карачун жертву. Если принял, то деревню не тронет: и избы не промерзнут, и люди выживут. Есть ещё теория, что нерадивые матери сносили больных девочек в лес, чтобы лесные духи забрали к себе, в счастливый мир, где ребёнок будет здоров. Конечно, зимой ребёнок не выживал. А трупы считались не настоящими детьми, а ребёнком феи. Это в Швеции так было, например. В общем, есть много теорий. Про Островского - да, конечно, но это уже литература) а есть ещё фольклор, язычество и тд.
@@НаталияБоброва-з7ц про пожилых - я и не говорила, что всё так говорят. Вы ещё недостаточно в летах, наверное) Но я замечала, что некоторые так обращаются:" Внучок, помоги! " , " Спасибо, внученька"
@@sofyalindunen820 слишком категорично Вы заявили о том, что Снегурочка не внучка и при чем здесь Нидерланды и Швеция к Деду Морозу! Мы говорим о сегодняшнем восприятии символов, а Вы жуть нагнали про умерших детей. "Где дом, где река?" Уместнее было вспомнить, что Деда Мороза многие считают Николаем Угодником.
You could see it on everyone's faces at the events from the start of the video. It was themed around the famous movies and tv shows they put on every year. So many people watch them, and know them so well.
Professor, Kalla Christouyenna! That meant “Good Christian is born, I loved your Sweat & Tears reply…Russel Lee, I must not fall…and …kindly explain to my poor body…Please don’t hurt!
My goodness! Russia is wonderful at Christmas! It's almost like it's not a backward country, invading others and poisoning its opponents overseas. Merry Christmas, Russell! С Рождеством Христовым! В Кремле Вас одобряют.
for some reason there is no translation from vodka to english in the comments like most channels and its a pain to install a russian keyboard to transulate vodka from the comments is there a fearure that u Russell enable in your comments so it will transulate?
A philosophical question: What motivates a australian man to make propaganda for a country, which annexed 20% of another country? And, would he do the same for China if China would annex his hometown in Australia?
Being from WA, most of the North West and the mines are owned by the Chinese. Look at how much housing they own across Australia as well. As for why I am here, I came 10 years ago and fell in love with a Russian Women.
@@TravellingwithRussellI hoped you understand the difference of annexing a country with thousands of dead people and milliones of refugees and "mines and houses owned by Chinese".
We celebrate all our winter holidays: New Year, Christmas, "Old" New Year, etc. The times have changed, and it is worth to consider. Better to be silent than to show yourself to the complete ignorant 🤦♀️
Рождество в советское время Не было запрещено! Просто тогда как и сейчас Рождество это религиозный духовный праздник а не как у вас светский и Санта Клаус а об Иисусе вы все забыли 😢

Came here to thank you and to say that Snegurochka is not Ded Moroz's granddaughter!
Snegurochka in fact is a girl who froze to death. Ded Moroz calls her vnuchka because it's a word used by older people to address any young girl 😊
я живу в России, мне 60 лет и я впервые слышу, что Дед Мороз гуляет с покойником на детских праздниках. Где Вы взяли эту информацию? Единственная сказка на эту тему приходит на ум, где бездетные муж с женой слепили себе из снега девочку, она ожила, а весной растаяла, прыгая через костер.У Островского есть сказка "Снегурочка" по мотивам сказок Афанасьева, там она дочка Деда Мороза и Весны. Пожилые люди у нас не обращаются ко всем молодым девушкам "внучка", чаще просто "девушка", к детям "деточка" или "детё"
София прекращайте уже бухать! Праздники уже кончились 🤭
@@НаталияБоброва-з7ц не помню исследователя, но в фольклоре народов севера Дед Мороз ( а до того - Север / Карачун/ Трескун и тд) - вовсе не добродушный герой. И посох его превращал людей и непослушных детей в ледышки. Это кстати, частично сохранилось, например, в Нидерландах, где детей пугают, что непослушных заберут в мешке к чертям.
Так вот. В язычестве был обряд жертвоприношения - молодую девушку свозили в лес, привязывали к дереву, а через неделю проверяли, принял ли Карачун жертву. Если принял, то деревню не тронет: и избы не промерзнут, и люди выживут.
Есть ещё теория, что нерадивые матери сносили больных девочек в лес, чтобы лесные духи забрали к себе, в счастливый мир, где ребёнок будет здоров. Конечно, зимой ребёнок не выживал. А трупы считались не настоящими детьми, а ребёнком феи. Это в Швеции так было, например.
В общем, есть много теорий. Про Островского - да, конечно, но это уже литература) а есть ещё фольклор, язычество и тд.
@@НаталияБоброва-з7ц про пожилых - я и не говорила, что всё так говорят. Вы ещё недостаточно в летах, наверное) Но я замечала, что некоторые так обращаются:" Внучок, помоги! " , " Спасибо, внученька"
@@sofyalindunen820 слишком категорично Вы заявили о том, что Снегурочка не внучка и при чем здесь Нидерланды и Швеция к Деду Морозу! Мы говорим о сегодняшнем восприятии символов, а Вы жуть нагнали про умерших детей. "Где дом, где река?" Уместнее было вспомнить, что Деда Мороза многие считают Николаем Угодником.
Рассел, спасибо за красивые видео о красивой Москве!!
👍
Wow I saw a few Russians smiling at the Christmas stuff. That's rare, a smile. Merry Christmas Russians.
You could see it on everyone's faces at the events from the start of the video. It was themed around the famous movies and tv shows they put on every year. So many people watch them, and know them so well.
Yeah, Russians are a very healthy nation... We smile if there is a real reason for it....
We have a saying: "Laughing without a reason is a sign of stupidity." (Смеяться без причины - признак дурачины)
@@TravellingwithRussell It was very nice to see
@@Sergey_Bezhentsev Probably not too often these days...
I feel sorry for those who have to work during the holiday.
Professor, Kalla Christouyenna! That meant “Good Christian is born, I loved your Sweat & Tears reply…Russel Lee, I must not fall…and …kindly explain to my poor body…Please don’t hurt!
Ваша жена - интроверт, скорее всего.

I heard Russians are getting relatively wealthy from the death benefits. It's great to see the affluence in Russia!
Твоя лживая пропаганда и СМИ ещё не такое скажут!🤭
The obvious....
My goodness! Russia is wonderful at Christmas! It's almost like it's not a backward country, invading others and poisoning its opponents overseas. Merry Christmas, Russell! С Рождеством Христовым! В Кремле Вас одобряют.
what happened to all the giant Z's i used to see in the video's of miscow?
На Рождество Христово они неуместны. Вам так не кажется?
@ can you say that in english? i cant read vodka!
@izdaleb I would love to know which videos were showing them. Vs. going to an American city and seeing the "Uncle Sam Needs You" posters.
@@izdaleb🤡🤡🤡🫵🤭
for some reason there is no translation from vodka to english in the comments like most channels and its a pain to install a russian keyboard to transulate vodka from the comments is there a fearure that u Russell enable in your comments so it will transulate?
Одни туристы. Нет там сосквичей!
Вы всех опросили 😂, кто откуда там ? Москвичи там , где хотят быть , не переживайте за нас .
A philosophical question: What motivates a australian man to make propaganda for a country, which annexed 20% of another country? And, would he do the same for China if China would annex his hometown in Australia?
Being from WA, most of the North West and the mines are owned by the Chinese. Look at how much housing they own across Australia as well. As for why I am here, I came 10 years ago and fell in love with a Russian Women.
@@TravellingwithRussellI hoped you understand the difference of annexing a country with thousands of dead people and milliones of refugees and "mines and houses owned by Chinese".
Насмешил (20% изъявили желание жить с Россией, референдум показал что все по закону) Посмотрим что будет с Гренландией Канадой Мексикой и Панамой
Greenland? Canada? Panama?
@@tarifkunde может тебе написать список куда вторгались США и НАТО и сколько они убили мирных жителей?
This is Russian propaganda.
Езжай в Украину и поживи там.
Come on Russell, get with the picture.
They don't Celebrate it.
CHRISTMAS was banned during soviet times.
They Celebrate New Year
Вы знаток России?!?... Или просто злопыхатель?...
We celebrate all our winter holidays: New Year, Christmas, "Old" New Year, etc. The times have changed, and it is worth to consider.
Better to be silent than to show yourself to the complete ignorant 🤦♀️
Рождество в советское время Не было запрещено! Просто тогда как и сейчас Рождество это религиозный духовный праздник а не как у вас светский и Санта Клаус а об Иисусе вы все забыли 😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🤡
@@АНДРЕЙ3500👍Great comment!
