Living in the USA right now with everything that is happening here don't be surprised if you start seeing a flood of dissidents escaping from the US to Russia in the nearer rather the later future.
ты во многом прав - сменить страну в принципе трудно. не туристом, а именно смена гражданства. и, как ты и сказал - у тебя есть причина, по которой ты хочешь жить здесь. но - получить гражданство США относительно реально только для мексиканцев. а вот всему восточному полушарию - нереально. это политика штатов - покупать мозги, а для низкоквалифицированной работы - есть "задний двор", с открытой границей.

As an American who has been coming to Russia regularly since 2018 and now living in Russia as an American expat since May of this year, I can say that everything Daniel pointed out in this video is 100% accurate. Immigrating to Russia is not easy especially if you’re from an “unfriendly country”. I’m immigrating because I’m marrying a Russian citizen. And even this process is lengthy and full of bureaucratic hurdles. You’ll need to learn the language, too as you’ll have to pass a language proficiency exam as part of your temporary residency application. It’s not easy but it’s worth it. Don’t come to Russia without preparation and having thought the matter through. Well done, Daniel!
@@Wild-Siberia your videos are full of insights and show Russia from the perspective of a westerner. My fiancé and I watch your videos together and she commented to me when we watched one of your early videos. She said, “Eddie, Daniel reminds me of you when you first came to Moscow. You are both in awe!” 😃 Suerte hermano!
А как Вы хотели? Я смотрела видео одной американки, которая приехала в Санкт-Петербург и очень возмущалась по поводу того, что в кафе персонал не говорит по-английски и нельзя рассчитаться долларами. Наивные глупые люди.
согласен , россия - многонациональное государство и русские не против учиться у других , но у нас приживается только полезное , ненужное и наносное отторгается @@antonbar5494
I am watching your videos, first of all I have to add the following 1. I have been married to Russia for 27 years. I love Russia and Russian people. Their culture , education and honesty 2. I live now in Tomsk. I go overseas for work but my home is in Russia. I am waiting for my Russian nationality 3. Russians will respect you as part of their own. Just respect Russia 4. Yes, Russia is cheap to live in and you have everything, even more than you ever imagined. Always remember having a job or contract project work like I do, brings you a significant amount of money. Never try to show off. Be professional I am adding this additional information. As of March the 5th 2024, I am a Russian National. Thank you President Putin
I love such comments that show how good humans can be when they are kind and normal to each other. You confirm a lot of the things I talk about on this channel. Thank you for this comment
As a moroccan I have visited both New York and Moscow within the last 5 years. Moscow is hands down far more advanced, clean, safe and charming. Traffic was overwhelming but the city is huge so understandable. I found out very quickly though that the metros in moscow is probably the most effecient I have ever experienced. NY subway however was a dump compared to it.
@@mohamedzaidkhairi7488 morally and culturally yes, but if you want a nice lifestyle with good oppotunities you should go for north western europe. However Western Europe is morally bankrupt. A lot of weird things going on there
Before moving to Russia (I'm not talking about tourism - everything is simple here: got a visa, took a cash and go ahead, there will be no problems at all) study the channels of foreigners who have already traveled this path. There are a lot of them on UA-cam and feel free to write to these people to find out all the details - they usually leave their contacts. Just be patient and wait for a response. Maybe Daniel will make a video review of such channels - he probably knows them (Joseph Rose, Justus Walker, Australians from Siberian Freedom channel who moved here to build a farm, etc. - they are very active on UA-cam)... And yes, if you want to move here, but do not want to merge into our culture and society and adapt to life here, you should not try. Just visit Russia as a tourist - it will be cool, tasty, fun.
I feel that I would need to go to Russia sooner or later, as it is not safe for someone like me in the States. I've been supporting Russia publicly for almost the past 10 years, since I was 15 years old. When I was 18, the Feds came and questioned me. If things continue to heat up with Russia, I fear the US government will take greater action against those who speak out. The one thing that prevented me from actually going to Russia years ago was my family. I didn't want to leave them, which is how I feel today. However, I fear I will not have the choice in the near future and will have to protect myself. Sadly, such choices have to be made, and are made by many people. Sometimes difficult decisions need to be made, but it would be better than becoming a political prisoner.
If you have documentary evidence that the government is putting pressure on you, you can apply for political asylum in Russia. I apologize for the Google translator) We don't have a paradise in Russia, but it's nice to live)
It makes sense, Daniel. Don't go anywhere without being prepared and informed, Russia, Ireland, Africa, it doesn't matter. You never want to go somewhere, even in your own country, without knowing what you are getting into. Great advice.
My grandma came too America with her parents and two sisters when she was just 3 years from Russia, I think, that’s why, I watch all kinds of videos from her land. She learned English but never stopped speaking her language. She told me so many stories. God bless all.
I am originally russian but live in Kazakhstan. Thank you for your channel. I am planning to move there soon. I feel like my mother Russia needs me now.
Another good route to Russia from the east coast is Uzbekistan Airways. I have used this many times over the 19 years with my wife from Tashkent and the flight is even better now. In the beginning there was a refuel stop in Belgrade or Riga, but now they go straight from JFK to Tashkent. It’s a 12 hr flight, but you are covering alot of miles fast. Transfer visas are readily available. Their flights to Russia include Moscow,Omsk, Ekaterinburg,St Petersburg, Novosibirsk AND Irkutsk.
There's also Air Astana (Kazakhstan owned) that has direct flights from JFK to Astana, capital of Kazakhstan. And from Astana it's much closer to fly to many parts of Russia than it is from Tashkent. Astana is actually in close proximity to Russian Siberia.
@@Wild-Siberia Hi I have some questions: - How about coming with the car? From Poland? - I heard I need health insurance. Can I get it at the boarder somehow? - And do I need insurrance for my car? Probably also easy to get at the boarder? Some background: Frist I want to visit Russia as a tourist. I am sick of the west and of Europe. I really consider living and becoming Russian. I am a very experienced engineer, unfortunately I only speak some Russian words, but I heard as a Pole it is easy to learn Russian. And I have two citizenships: German and Polish. Born Polish, lived 35 years in Germany, I hate both my countries. Especially this intolerance and russophobia. I lived 35 years in Germany. Never there was an issue with Russians. I experienced Russians as respectful and friendly. Oh and thank you in advance! :)
Thank you for your honesty and your informative video. I’m retired, 73 and have no intention of traveling to Russia. That said, I enjoy learning about Russia via Eli From Russia YT channel. Good luck to you and thanks again for your video.
Having worked in Russia in very late 90s and then from 2010 for a few years, I can say that the country vastly changed for the better. Let's not forget that USSR lost at least 27 million during WWII. It is estimated that during lawless 90s between 10 and 20 million were lost. In the late 90 we went everywhere with security services assigned. Today's Russia is not perfect but it's a country many are happy to live in for economic, cultural, religious, ecological, historic reasons. If one wants to come, then learn the language, culture, history. Respect where you live. Integrate! Come to Russia because you want to be there. Don't come to Russia if you are simply running away from something. Russia is a destination of one's soul. Thank you, Dan and Ksenia for a great video.❤
Your inside from different times to now is absolutely essential for people to understand how things are and how they will be. You’re really a cultured person Jay thank you for being part of this community.
@@Wild-Siberia Thank you, Dan. It's an honour. You are a person of distinguished background yourself. I admire your pragmatic lens on things and your open mind and love for all things living under God. I don't know how often you visit Kevin's Crimea channel. We sometimes talk about work or past work. A few there are either past or even present alumni of 3 letter agencies specialising in Russia and USSR. We would be really bad if we did not have good knowledge . Where we failed is in not getting infected with Russophobia, something many of our colleagues are sick with. Those of us healthy of mind are resorted to double lives, like Штирлиц. Ksenia can explain that one to you.
@@JayTulipoh, are you really am alumni of the 3- letter governmental secret agency? This is SO interesting! I wish we could sit down and talk in person one day 😍 Let me know if you'll be passing by Italy, Bolzano or maybe some day in Russia I might meet you😊 You now Scott Rit.. and Colonel McGreg..? They're of the military background and seem to be supporting Russia now. Though I don't really follow them.
@@oliviao3686 I am ex Israeli military and I am still working in the agency in Europe. That's why no real names, no social media accounts, and I am never in front of the camera on my UA-cam channel. I sadly don't have any plans to be in Italy. Hopefully in Russia next year. We did some scuba diving in Italy last year. Deep Joy wreck near Venice and HMS Milford Haven near Genoa. Condolences on the passing of a great Italian singer Toto Cutugnio. Italiano Vero! Forza Italia!
@@JayTulip aah, if you're still working than you absolutely need to be careful with what you say, I guess. Yeah, Italy is beautiful and Toto Cutugno was a talented singer loved across the world.
Very good advice! I am actually in Russia now for 2 mths on a private visa from my gf who has an apt. in Kaluga and with tourist visa in Canada where I live. I brought 2K$ US in cash which goes into a Sberbank account. Cdn$ are not accepted here. You can pay for most things using a card except for street vendors who take cash only. The shortest flight from eastern Canada is through Casablanca then Moscow about 13hrs not including layover. It is easy to take bus or train from the airports. As for language, I have been learning Russian for 2 yrs on my own and although I can speak and understand a little, it remains a difficult language. Don't think for a moment one can wing it with a tourist book of common expressions! Most people speak only Russian so another thing to prepare if you are travelling alone. Fortunately I'm with a native Russian and family which has helped enormously. Overall I love it here, I've spent time in Moscow, St.Peters, Kaluga. Everywhere I've been, everyone dresses well, streets are impeccably clean, lots of parks with playsets, fountains open all hours of the night. There seems to be little to no crime here, no vagrants or shady people where I've been. The sanctions don't seem to have affected much at least for food or things you might need on a trip. Best of luck if you come, there is a lot of beauty here.
Thanks so much for the personal input and your point of view is so unique! Thanks a lot for supporting the channel through this! By the way I own a 1966 mustang and I like your name 😂🙏🏻
My brother married a girl from Donetsk. Upon arrival, she applied for citizenship. Obtaining citizenship took 4 years. During this time, she managed to study at a medical institute and found a job in a sanatorium. The process of obtaining citizenship in Russia takes place only according to the law and it is the same for everyone. Both for former Ukrainians and for people from the USA. Yes, you will be able to have a good time with money here while on a tourist visa. But if you want to live here and do your business here, you will have to experience some inconveniences mainly related to the time of registration. But Russia is a country of law and they will not be able to refuse you if you are a law-abiding person and are ready to live here. Russian taxes are still the most lenient in the world. And in general, doing business here is very profitable. If you treat Russia and our laws well, Russia will become your homeland.
You can settle in Russia if you are married to a Russian, if you have a russian kid or if you are a sought after professional and if you speak enough Russian language. If you are young, you can apply for a student visa and stay for up to three years, unless i'm mistaken. As for bringing your money, there are solutions, but they change on a regular basis. So, yes, cash is the easy way. For Europeans or east coast Americans, you can travel to Russia through Erevan, Armenia too.
Easiest way is to open a Russian bank account and transfer money between countries via crypto (there are several services that will send crypto right to a Russian card). That's what I do, and it's even faster and lower fees than the ole' SWIFT days. But maybe not suitable for large amounts - but it's all legal (for now).
A new law they are about to introduce will allow to cancel your newly acquired citizenship if you avoid military service. But I'm sure it won't apply to white people and/or American citizens. Have fun. ✌
Честный анализ российской действительности. Руководство для желающих переехать. У нас уже создаются минианклавы по национальностям. Но это тупиковый путь. В России можно жить только ассимилировавшись в русскую культуру и язык.
А я не согласна. У нас есть немецкие деревни, балтийские деревни, есть национальные республики и это ПРЕКРАСНО. В этом как раз и заключается богатство России- в самых разных культурах и народах
@@oliviao3686. Если это так прекрасно, почему в Германии, Франции или Англии нет русских деревень? Это не только не прекрасно, но вообще не нужно ни одному государству. Так же, как ни одному государству не нужны секты на своей территории.
Es muy interesante hablar con la verdad y transparencia, esta presentación es para que gente se sienta mucho más seguro de hacer un viaje a RUSIA con más orientación y NO es para que se desanimen y da plena confianza de tomar decisiones determinantes. Felicidades Daniel Adalberto.
Да, видимо, всё что он сказал правда, НО если вы цените традиционные семейные ценности, ценности различных традиционных религий, кроме экстремистских течений, если вам дороги свобода и огромные просторы, то приезжайте в Россию и если вы приедете с открытым сердцем и желанием честно трудиться, то она примет вас с любовью. Во всем мире накаляется обстановка, поэтому примите с пониманием сложности и бюрократию в России, безопасность граждан превыше всего.
Какие традиционные семейные ценности? Российское общество оно из самых не традиционных в мире и уровень рождаемости крайне низкий. Это просто пропагандисктй бред от престарелых депутатов.
I have very long range plans for Russia. My passion is to develop young men & women, from ages of first readers to young adults, to pick up conversational Russian, & make periodic trips to Russia. I yearn for visits to the big cities, & the trans Siberian railroad & much more. I see myself having a place in an American village on a provisional basis. I will always be an American citizen. But I want my children who love travel to visit one of the most fantastic countries on this planet. After they have spent time in Russia, they will feel open to any place in the world. Travel not only broadens a soul, it helps create a sense of who you are in the universe. Sandy Rinaldi, Arkansas, US Army veteran 1971 to 1974, 27 OCT 23
There was a time that I wanted to visit Russia, so I could take trip on a trans Siberia railway, from Vladivostok to Moscow. I have put this trip on a back burner forever. Thanks for the video. From Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
Don't do it! Russia will destroy your plans, your life and your future! Review "Law Abiding Citizen" - you will meet sitizens like this every vizit! Keep away!
This video is great advice. As someone who is married to a lady from the other side of the world to my country (Australia, I married a Lithuanian), and who spent around 20 years working and living in Europe, I can say that nobody should immigrate to any country because they are unhappy with their own country. You stay and try to make it better, if you feel that way. The thing is, family is most important in life. Family and work are what determine your happiness. So, if you are going to move to a different country, you should have plans to make a new family there, and also to be a productive worker there. It doesn't matter what type of work, but working for a living is the only real way to integrate and build real relationships that will sustain your happiness. Working and paying taxes also means you are paying something to your new country, and carrying your weight. You also learn the language this way, unless your "job" is something totally freaky and weird, like being a youtube content creator. Another bit of advice is don't imagine people are impressed by someone who always talks down their home nation. People everywhere, from all walks of life, are smart. We all know what it means, if someone has nothing good to say about where they came from. It means they will have nothing good to say about where they are now, in a little while. Changing ones "home" country is hard. It is stressful and difficult, even at the best of times. If you are not doing it for love, and to start or sustain a family, my advice is not to do it at all. Lastly, do not be afraid to invest a bit of money with a law firm from the town or city where you intend to immigrate, to handle the paperwork. It is a great investment in your time and sanity, and the advice you will get will benefit you in all kinds of unexpected ways.
Stay and make it better? There is part where he talks about spoiled westerners that think everything is easy. I recognized that tone in your comment and that is ok. Just do not talk like that to people in Ukraine, Yemen, Sudan, Niger, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit...
Пошёл ты в опу. Вот и живи в своей Австралии, к0зёл. Ты дай этот совет украинцам. А то что вы русских к себе не пускаете, так вы за это ещё все ответите. Кто ты такой чтобы говорить мне где жить? Солнце светит всем, понял и жить я буду там где хочу
@tobystewart4403 "unless your "job" is something totally freaky and weird, like being a youtube content creator" - oh what an encouraging and polite comment under a video done by a UA-cam content creator!
If humans followed your recommendation, our ancestors would stay in one place trying to make it better and would be extinct long time ago. Luckily for us, our ancestors travelled far in search of a better life 😊
Many thanks to your valuable comment ✋🏼 I'm Saudi who lived in Australia from 2008-2012 as an international student. It was one of my best periods of my life as I have learned alot, studied hard and made many good friends Aussies and other nationalities. The weekends were full of joy, adventures and gatherings. It was just a memories of dream to me for the rest of my life. I also lived in the US for couple of years for training and education purposes.

Take care my friend and to who ever is reading my comment and all best 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Greetings from East Coast US! I am of full East European decent, everything you need to know is my heart and soul resides in Russia. Growing up in a Russian Orthodox Parish community, it shaped me a lot. Glory to God, I am becoming even more involved in my church as well as the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate. I have been learning the language for a couple of years now. Russia was my dream country to visit (at least), not because it's easier, cheaper, etc, but because it holds a unique charm within my heart With that being said, my family and I decided to wait on the idea of visiting because of the current situations, and this video kinda solidified that decision. I still pray that one day we will get to see this gorgeous country in flesh. Мы любим вас!
This video was meant to show the reality, it’s common sense this video showed that Russia is a country of law. Also if in the future America and Russia don’t grant each other travel visas this may be bad if you plan on visiting. Wishing you the best 🤝🏻🙏🏻
@@FrostOperator90-YT ну ты уж постарайся побыстрее! У тебя есть в России знакомые, родственники? Одному конечно плохо, тяжело. Не в смысле опасно, а в смысле - если не знаешь куда сходить, все ноги стопчешь. )) А у меня в Сакраменто родственники живут. Много раз звали к себе в гости. Но я так и не собрался съездит к ним.

The best thing for a foreigner with an "expensive" currency is to earn money in an expensive country (for example, remotely), and physically be in Russia and spend much cheaper in rubles
@@Wild-Siberia I would like to visit for sure, if the situation will be settled. What do you think about joing the military in a NATO country, if I still love russia? Always wanted to be a soldier, but don't want to fight against russia. Would like to know from a vet!
@@ILIJA2002 I doubt they make you fight anyone, none of European countries plans to fight anyone, being send anywhere is more of way to get additional money, no one will force you to do that. Tho if you live in country that borders russia, you might prepare yourself in case of becoming next country to invade.
@@ILIJA2002Bad news, if your country is in NATO, and chooses to engage with Russia, you may very well be sent somewhere you don't want to be and then all bets regarding your life expectancy are off.
@@ILIJA2002 I guess you can see the issue yourself: "join the military in a NATO country" and "don't want to fight against Russia", if you can't let me help you: NATO was created to ultimately fight the Soviet Union (today named Russia), so to join a military and won't fight the enemy, what sense does that make ?
My wife and I recently spent 2weeks in Estonia and was told that it was easy to travel by bus from Estonia to St Petersburg Russia if you already have a visa. It’s easy to fly to Estonia from anywhere in Europe so that might be an option for some people. We live in Spain so that is how we plan to go once we have visas.
Also from Helsinki you can catch a buss to SPB. Ecolines, Lux Express and Sovtransauto have many daily departures. Plus smaller minibus companies also have daily routes.
Actually similar options exist in all three Baltic States plus Helsinki . Guess it’s whichever you prefer. But coming from Western Europe or the USA that would avoid the expensive airfares brought on by the sanctions.
I just checked Ecolines website and the fare listed travelling from Helsinki to SPB is 97€ for 6 and half hours while travelling from Tallinn Estonia is listed at 40€ for about the same length of time. So if airfares to Helsinki or Tallinn are similar it could influence the decision.
Все правильно сказано. Могу еще добавить, что надо уважать страну и население. Лучший показатель это знание языка. Если вы вежливы и добры, то вам ответят тем же. Но не нужно забывать, что негативные люди есть везде. Не хвастайтесь русским людям о своих капиталах, не рассказывайте о своих доходах. Будьте благоразумны, изучайте историю и географию того места где хотите проживать. И тогда ваша жизнь будет максимально безопасна и благополучна.
@@АлёнаАфанасович-ж2г А почему это Вас так задевает? Всех надо уважать. Кого раздражают русские, тому не следует приезжать в Россию, а кого раздражают американцы, тому не следует приезжать в США. Приехали в чужую страну, уважайте местных и они начнут Вас уважать, и станете своими.
I want to move to Russia 1) I want leave US culture and live in Orthodox Country 2) It’s a BEAUTIFUL country. 3) I love their art, music and literature. 4) It’s safe and not filled with crazy Americans. (I’m from NY lol). I hate to diss my heritage, but I have NEVER fit in here. I have always vibed with the Russians in the US bc I’m really introverted and mind my biz. 5) I want to visit their monasteries and churches 6) I want to possibly attend their realistic art academy. Thank you for your info brotha!
Hey brother . Great segment with truth bombs. Been following your channel for a few months now. I'm also a retired Vet ( Canadian military) . Been thinking about getting out to Russia Mainly to learn the language and study the culture of Orthodox Christianity as I am also Eastern Orthodox. Any information about the church culture there would be much appreciated. Cheers
Cheers brother. And thank you for your service as well. Yes I have been intrigued by the Baikal region largely based on your reviews and videos. It looks like a slice of heaven man. My parents actually live in Cali. LA , me and my son will be heading there for Christmas to visit them. If you're States side in the holiday season we should have a beer brother ☺️👍
Нужно понимать, что приезжая в Россию, вы приезжаете в многонациональную страну, в империю, если вам угодно. Не оскорбляй жителей, чти законы и все будет хорошо😊
на словах "многонациональная страна", на деле косые взгляды в сторону азиатов или кавказцев. Квартиры сдают только "лицам славянской внншности". И да, за общение на украинском языке сколько сейчас лет дают?

Been to Russia many times for about a month at a time. Everything Daniel says here is absolutely true. Last time I was there was in April 2023. It was much more difficult for me, as an American, on that trip. I was held for many hours and questioned quite a lot. (It's a story all on its own that I won't detail here.) But I did fly into Moscow from Tbilisi via Minsk (still not direct flights from Tbilisi that I can find.) I left via bus through Tallinn, Estonia. This is a much easier route despite the 7 hour bus ride. Easier time at passport control, and really an easier travel day. Later, I just flew to next destination from Tallinn airport. Like Daniel, I brought a pile of cash. They never asked to see it, just asked how much I brought. I was asked several times if I was in Russia to work, so again, Daniel is right on about that - they are very concerned about this. An EXTREMELY important note about American dollars: Only bring $100 bills, and get them crispy clean. If they are marked or worn in any way, they will be rejected and not accepted for exchange. Seriously. One of my bills had a tiny pen dot the size of a period and it was rejected. Also, it's better to take it to a good currency exchange and then take the rubles to the bank if you intend to open an account. Currency exchanges will offer a better rate than the bank. At currency exchange, you need to provide passport to do the exchange if it's over $500, and there's a ceiling to how much you can exchange this way in total during your stay. Better to just exchange $500 at a time, because they don't even ask for passport for that amount. If you really need more, just leave and come back to the exchange later - even the same day is OK. I was in St Petersburg and Moscow, but in smaller towns, a good currency exchange might be harder to find. Daniel mentioned the need for a visa. When I left Russia via Estonia, I met an American woman in passport control. She was trying to get into Russia without a visa. I don't know how her story ended because I left before she did. But she said she was "seeking asylum" in Russia because of some kind of persecution in America. I think she was a little cuckoo bananas, and doubt that she got in. Great videos Daniel, really appreciate your channel.
I don't know if I'll ending up doing this, but one of my dreams is to restart an optics company in Russia called Intes. The people who ran the company retired, but it was one of the greatest telescope manufacturers in the world. As a physicist, I developed an interest in the Maksutov telescope, and these optics were specially made by Russian engineers. They were incredibly well made scopes, with surface accuracy on the mirrors well above what most companies could make at the time. Intes also had connections to the military, and I wonder if the rest of the company actually got absorbed after the people that ran it retired. These scopes go for thousands of dollars, and are a rare collector item now.
Я переехал в Россию, когда все считали, что у неё нет будущего. Но, у меня было чувство, что я переезжаю домой. Это был 1992 год. На самом деле, я не очень люблю людей, которые едут за "хорошей жизнью". Граждане должны бороться за процветание своей страны, прежде всего, и верить в свою страну. Но, я понимаю, что сегодня, в некоторых странах легально бороться против сумасшедшего либерализма практически невозможно. Что же... Россия не против принять законопослушных, трудолюбивых, нормальных людей. Россия приняла немецких мигрантов, французских, когда-то. Из США приезжали в советскую Россию американские инженеры, чтобы помочь построить заводы. Многие остались тут жить. Но, надо понимать, что Россия находится на острие борьбы с западными элитами за своё выживание и вы можете пострадать. Если у вас с этим нет проблем, то можно смело переезжать

You reminded me my loved sister. She found her place in mountains of Petegorsk. And she fell in love in this place so much that told me that she feels jelous to everyone who comes to this presious place. She is very afraid that this town can be spoiled by tourists and rude people. So her behaviour makes me filling to go there as soon as possible to see everything by my own eyes. I feel the same watching your videos about Baikal and Slydanka, don't know why.😅
My town cannot be spoiled by anything as long as the town is responsible and honorable. this is the most important thing don’t blame tourist for things which we ourselves do also tourism is good for our town economy.
@@DavidAr-l8v she is Russian. She lived all her life in metropolis, and one day she came to Pyatigorsk as a tourist.

@@Wild-Siberia My elder brother was in Moscow for short visit from Holland in 1959 where he attended university. He said a mysterious city, he saw no people, only his guide .😉
If you are ready to work, become a foreign language teacher. There are a lot of foreign language courses in Russia; every parent wants their child to know at least English. Language schools will help you with both a visa and housing. Native speakers are especially valued in Russia. American English courses are also popular. In Russian public schools they teach classical British English, it is complex and incomprehensible. Therefore, people often take English courses at private training centers. Even if you don’t know Russian, you will still be of interest to different language schools. But when you learn Russian, your income will increase. Even in small cities, the salary of a native speaker will be above $1000. But in small towns life is much cheaper, rent is $150-200.

Yup! It’s not the 1990’s!! Russia has self respect and demands to be seen as equal with due respect. Russia clawed its way out of hell to become a powerful, good country. I did my visa by myself with the consulate. I got advice like you are giving. This is good common sense.
The common sense stuff goes out the window for many. They need a reality check too about why they want to come. Many men have messaged me about finding women, as if this is the only thing they want.
The new is the well-forgotten old... Since the time of Peter the Great, foreigners have moved to Russia, getting jobs as teachers, entering military service. And they had a wonderful career. English, Scots, Germans, Dutch... The list is huge. All of Europe.
Привет Ден, как всегда отличное и очень содержательное видео, я надеюсь что люди, которые захотят сюда приехать, будут руководствоваться им. Мне, как жителю этой страны интересно общаться с людьми из других стран и поддерживаю то, что бы люди приезжали в эту страну. А тебе Ден, всего самого лучшего и чтобы ты наконец построил свой дом на берегу Байкала. Удачи вам с Ксенией!

I've been interested in visiting Russia on a holiday for months now it's such a beautiful country especially the cities and full of history and contrasting architecture though I'm not sure if it would be wise for me to go in the current political climate as I am from Ireland if you have any advice I would be grateful
Excelente video! Soy ecuatoriano. He viajado vsrias veces por Europa. Estudié mi postgrado en Estsdos Unidos. Nunca había pensado siquiera en viajar a Rusia. Pero en este par de años he abierto los ojos. Rusia me parece un país extraotdinario. Lo que mss me impresiona es cómo salieron del abismo de los 1990s, cuando reinaban las mafias y la corrupción, hasta convertirse en un país moderno, próspero, seguro.... y sin las atrocidades sociales que afectan a occidente. Por eso estoy atendiendo el idioma ruso y espero poder visitar Rusia el próximo año.
wow saludos hermano me encanta leer mensajes en español! En este canal de vez en cuando hablo español y sabes que pues se me está olvidando. Total ojalá que pueda regresar!
Blessings. I don't even know how I stumbled onto this channel -- maybe the interview with Putin engaged me initially. For whatever reason, I am glad to have found this channel, I appreciate the insight and information you share, and I am so very impressed by your tenacity in both love and labor. Very best to you y su amor!
Good day thanks for the comment thanks for the support. This video was made with common sense just incase people didn’t know that Russia has a lot of it. I made many videos inside of Russia I hope you enjoy some of them 🙏🏻
I'm russian and my husband is Ecuadorian we are in the process of obtaining residence documents for my husband its quite difficult you have to be patient and calmly do whatever they ask, good luck guys
Thanks for the info. I've been watching a couple of your videos and found them very informative. We would love to visit Russia particularly Moscow and St Petersburg but because of those damned sanctions it will make it a lot harder to do so. I had discovered Turkey to probably be the best route from the UK to Russia but will keep watching your videos to keep up to date with all the info on travel. Thanks again.
If you’re going from the UK Turkey is the best entrance. planning ahead for prices is best for sure but Moscow and Saint Petersburg is a must visit! I’ve seen Peter last year I’ll see Moscow this year! I’m excite!
If you're based in UK, you can: a) fly to Finland / Helsinki and take a bus to St-Petersburg; b) fly to Estonia / Tallinn and take a bus to St-Petersburg; c) fly to Lithuania / Vilnius, take a bus to Minsk, and from there - a train or a plane to Moscow; d) fly to Oslo, then to Kirkenes, and take a bus to Murmansk. Not needed to go to Turkey, really...
We would love it if you each did a video about setting up a small business in Russia and the nuances of networking and cross-cultural management. Pretty please! ☺️
I am an American/German dual citizen who is just curios about what life in Russia might be like. I know that the President and the Chancellor are not making a tourist visa easy but I'm still wondering what it would be like to live in Russia for three weeks before returning to where I can live legally full time?
Basucally, treat Russia and Russians as equals, and you're going to have a good time. I have a good friend of mine from Texas who came here as a tourist initially, but later on got a working visa and lives just fine working as a translator and tutor.
My friend is with someone in Russia, and she's been in Canada with him for a few years. They're contemplating moving to Russia now. It's extremely hard to do, and they're feeling disheartened.
Are they married? If they are, the Canadian spouse can get a family multiple entry visa. Then when they come, they apply for temporary residence which lasts 5 yours but after the first year of temporary residence, he can apply for permanent residence. The only paperwork problem is APOSTILIZING the criminal check needed for the temporary residence. Canada has not joined the other countries and it's a kind of complicated process.
@@Victoriaghh If they are in Canada and seriously considering getting married, then just get married officially, do the paperwork for family visa and have a big wedding reception with family in Russia 😁😁.

I don't think people from the "West" realise how different the culture is in Eastern Europe. Maybe it's a throwback to USSR times, USSR ruled Eastern Europe. As an Irishman living in Bulgaria for over a decade, it is still hard at times, but it is worth it. Eastern Europe, for the most part is Slavic in culture. Never forget this. Slavs are very industrious people, clever, intelligent, practical, gentle. Never mistake this gentleness for weakness. At all times be respectful. Will add as an edit, Cyrillic is easy to learn, it's very phonetic. Not easy to pronounce the words. Even after a decade I still struggle with Bulgarian when trying to speak it. What you learn in books, you don't hear on the streets. My Dublin accent kills Bulgarian, but it's great fun, at times!!
Can you imagine how hard is for us when you realise that there are languages where writting and spellng have parted their way 5-6 hundreds of years ago ;).
What I find funny, eastern europe is also the place where people hate russia (country, not people) the most, mainly due to russian occupation until 1991.
excellent! i follow a few channels of expats in Russia that show how good life can be, i want to visit Russia as a tourist so this kind of video will give me an idea of what i need to do. getting to Russia via Georgia gives me an idea of where to start so i can work out the cost of travel, then i will research where to stay how much cash etc. it will require saving my pennys for the trip so hopefully next year or maybe 2025 it will happen.
I apologize in advance for my English - I write through Google translator. In fact, there are many states that have direct flights to Russia: Turkey, Egypt, UAE, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Israel, Qatar, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Abkhazia , Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Cyprus. Yes, the list changes periodically, but the world lives not only in Europe :) All adequate people are welcome to Russia, there will be enough space and work for everyone.
There is a list of professions whose holders in Russia receive citizenship under a simplified scheme (there is this document on the Internet). As far as I remember, this applies to the professions of construction, automotive, bridge construction, IT technology specialists, medicine, teaching in schools.. I don’t understand the full list.
If you are a good person, you will not be alone in Russia, especially if you look for contacts and learn Russian. If you are a pensioner and have a permanent pension, then you need to settle near the border with Kazakhstan or Mongolia in order to travel abroad and receive your pension (in Russia it is now difficult with international transfers). If your pension payments are more than $1000 per month, then you can count on a wonderful old age in Russia. You can live both in the city and in the countryside (for example, on the shores of Lake Baikal). You can also purchase (or take a long-term lease) a plot of land and engage in some kind of farming (both for small income and for pleasure). The most important thing is to resolve everything correctly with documents for a long-term stay in the country.@@1Channel1
I'm 55 and would move to Russia in a heart beat if I was 20 years younger. There is something about the Russian people and culture. That the west has truly lost, these people have suffered for hundreds of years and have more heart and maturity than I see anywhere in the west. God bless Russia and her people 🙏
Самое главное ты упустил: НЕ ПРИЕЗЖАЙ в Россию, если ты русофоб или считаешь русских "дикарями, которых следует учить как правильно думать и жить". Твой снобизм и высокомерие будут стоить тебе ОЧЕНЬ ДОРОГО!🧐😡

And also the American Justice Walker is a farmer, there is generally its own diaspora, also in a remote area of the Altai Mountains. look at his channel, how many people turn to him.

🫡🇷🇺 I live here and so I have to give my honor to Russia while I’m here. My mother raised me to be like this being disrespectful to Russia is a disrespect to my own mother 😆
Dan, thank you for your video, and for your channel. I am also interested in expatriating to Russia, just beginning the process. I'm glad I found this resource, and watched this video first.
In my city of Ufa I know an Italian from Italy who married Russian girl and started a bakery 10 years ago. I used to buy focaccia bread from him. Now he owns a restaurant chain Elio. Sure we had pizza joints in Ufa. But real Italian pizza from real Italian man is a whole different matter. I miss Mexican tacos and burritos. We don't have that in Ufa. So.
I would assume the correct spices at least would be available in stores since so many countries use the same spices, just mixed differently. Ok maybe not jalapenos but you can get them dried online or plant some. But peppers are available in Georgian goods stores for sure. Look at a Mexican recipe, it's easy. Probably have better sour cream and cheese too.
An article I read a while back. If I'm not mistaken, it said that the U.S. is already concerned that there are American propagandists who are calling for relocation, especially to the territory of the Russian Federation 😅
На ютубе может видели белобрысый еврей русскоговорящий видео записывает какой рай в США. Так он на этом хорошо зарабытывает, на русских мигрантах. Может и от государства дают ему. Интересно, сколько на его сказки повелись... А потом бомжуют в гетто..
I am an Aussie living in Russia on a student visa (the best visa in my opinion; renewable while in Russia and last on a year per year basis); I came as my girl friend is Russian. I used to live in Moscow, now I live in Volgograd due to the better southern weather there. I am actually visiting Irkustk now on university holidays. Siberia is a cool Place and you are lucky to live here. I have no problems with money as I have passive rental income from Australia; and I just transfer it to Russia via crypto. Yes I agree that westerners should not come to Russia, expecting special treatment from girls; I think you will agree with me that most Russian girls prefer a Russian man. However, if you are a western guy who makes the effort to learn Russian and adapt to Russian life: it will be easier to get a nice girl. Wish you luck bro: i need it too 😃
Im from the USA and I am living in Novorossiysk! Glad to see a fellow westerner somewhat nearby. I was in Volgograd just last month for a short vacation. Beautiful and historic city.
Do you mind if I ask which bank and crypto exchange? I was transferring money to my Sberbank account, but the ANZ was delaying transfers for 24 hours which doesn’t work for crypto.
You can fly to Russia from Dubai, UAE to several cities inside Russia via Emirates, Fly Dubai, Air Arabia and several Russian airlines too. CASH INFO: You can bring as much cash money as you like, there is no limit. The only thing is that anything over $10,000 you just have to declare it at the Red Channel when going through customs. This is true for pretty much any country in the world except UAE where you have to declare anything over $35,000. That's all. People assume that $10,000 is the limit which is not true. I did this a few times, true story. Also make sure you bring clean, preferably brand new notes, or notes that do not have any markings on them. It's easier to get those cashed at any bank.
Like you mentioned, I was able to open Russian checking account with Sper Bank using my tourist visa. Russian friend accompanied me when I opened an account with Sper Bank. For me it's more convenient paying with a debit card. Side note, most Gym memberships are more expensive than American gyms. Especially the nicer ones in Russia.
Will add it here as it´s related. As for sim card/bank account: get Russian sim card first, then the bank account. Your phone number will be connected to your account and you have access to the account via an app. No idea what would happen if you go to the bank and do NOT have a Russian phone number. Opening an account took me 30min. My chosen bank even have me a card right then and there. Heard that for some banks it takes some time (days).
Hola Siberian Hermano! Great insight! The bureaucracy here is tough, the language is hard, the sanctions make life difficult but when you stand on the land or swim in the lake with the sun on your face, it is all worth while!
4:14 Yes! That is very true, thank you for saying that last point. Russia is not right place at all for egocentric people looking for easier life. If people come with such wrong reasons it will quickly turn into unpleasant experience for both that person and locals that have them around. You know, in videos of many people of former immigrants that come back to Russia nowdays, often the most upvoted comments are along lines of people's observation that to the west people were leaving for money and to Russia people are leaving for the soul. And in this case people would have so much better experience. It's only in this case I think all other aspects like financial side, documents and everything else will eventually fall into place too, because local people will also embrace them and will be helping them along their way
How can you get "help" where no one is qualified for anything? Even for basic householding maintenace stuff? Lots of men around my grandmas dacha and they can't fix anything for SH*T. I had to get back into the matters and fix the entire plumbing. Recently no one could replace the damn lawn trimmer cord, I was walking around and calling them f****ts out loud after it took half a minute to change it. Men cannot sew clothes, cut wood, grow food. They are all fat, drunk, and emasculated just like in the US. Sorry, people coming to Russia, you are on your own.
By the way, direct flights are also available from Serbia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Dubai and Egypt...to name a few more. If you're coming from the west coast of N.America, I suggest Hong Kong and from the east coast, Dubai and Turkey seem to offer the most options. Regardless of what route you take from home...it is VERY important to get a direct flight into Russia from whatever Russia friendly country you leave from. You do not want to transit thru any country that has sanctioned Russia. I also suggest buying the ticket for the leg that gets you to Russia separately from the rest of your trip. You probably don't want your official travel itinerary to include a Russian destination. Do your research. Flying to Russia is not like going anywhere else you have been.
Love the channel. Keep up the good work. I’m 60 and studying Russian here in the US via italki, but I would love to study Russian in Russia. Am I too old to get a student visa? Is there an age limit on students? Thanks in advance.
@@Wild-Siberia yes! You can withdraw from your Citi debit card based in the U.S. up to 30 000 roubles per one transaction. However it’s not working with other banks. I tried to withdraw from TD bank debit card and it did not work.
Hi Daniel. I am a new subscriber. I found you through Real Reporter. Thank you for providing us with honest answers about Russia. I wanted to ask you: how did you find your way from LA to Russia? And, how did find your way to Slyudyanka? You probably have answered those questions in another video but I haven't had the chance to view them yet. Anyway, thanks again and we hope you will have a nice Thanksgiving. Looking forward to more videos. Our best to you from Burlington, West Virginia. John
my friend thanks for your support I found in the Afghanistan war for various campaigns. Afghanistan is a hot place after I left a Military, I left the United States. I lived in countries like Germany, Bulgaria, Spain, Costa Rica Mexico, amongst other countries. As a young man, I watched National Geographic channel There was a portion where they talked about Siberian, how miserable it was how hard it was to survive there. So I travel to Russia now because of Russia I went for Siberia. My trip was supposed to happen 2019 at the end of it in winter. But then Covid shut everything down. I waited years to travel and in 2022 the war started so I said forget it I won’t wait any longer and I just flew. I chose Irkutsk for its location deep in Siberia. I meant my woman by chance and look I made a video about this. That is how I ended up in Slydanka. Her father’s from there we went to visit him. I enjoyed fishing, and I enjoyed the small town life. I hope that answers your questions
I wonder if it's easier for people from South America to come to Russia? Ive watched documentary about russian orthodox coming back to Russia from Bolivia/Brasil - they even got some land from Rus government to build a farm on but it took them some time.
Yeah, they’re ethnically Russians, so they’re emigrated specifically by the program which was destined for them, as their ancestors lived in Russia, and they’re strong farmers.
Hola @quasisaur, yes Bolivian citizens can travel to Russia without a visa. Though the reciprocal step has been made only in September 2016, after GazProm won some huge tender re. working at Bolivian natural gaz. Prior to that timepoint, getting a Bolivian visa for Russian citizens was a nightmare - with a mandatory criminal records check, yellow fewer vaccination, 10 working days wait and $80 costs.
I think Siberia is such a good place to come for living because here are many different nations, religions and cultures lives together. But if you're not ready to its harsh climate and for 6 month of winter(this can be really hard for not prepared person) then don't come. But you of course can try and taste it by yourself.
I agree 4-6 months of cold winter can break some people 😅 for me I consider January February and some parts of March the worst colder months. late January early February it’s very cold 🤌🏻
And the most important skill for anybody moving to another country is patience and humility. You might think a country is inefficient and slow in dealing paperwork and maybe are are liable to become frustrated at having to make many copies, photos and prove the same details over and over, but, remember you are a guest. During my time living in S.E. Asia and the M.E. I learned that you can make a lot of friends in the queues and that patience and cooperation goes a long way when dealing with bureaucracy because the people behind the desk will reciprocate and make it easier for you too. Oh and, make sure you know how to obtain Police reports for the countries you have lived in recently. This can be a slow process and needs to be completed 100% correctly.
Looking at the video thumbnail, I first thought, “Another one of *those* videos, huh?”, and checked it out of curiosity, expecting hate or phobia, etc. It turns out that this is neither a pessimistic nor an optimistic view, but a very true warning for those who plan to visit my homeland. Good job, man.
600$/month is enough in the most Russian cities. But not enough in St. Petersburg or especially Moscow. Yes, you wont die, you still can rent apartment with roommates and eat bare minimum. But expect struggles if you have less than 1000$/mo in Moscow (80% will go just for the rent)
@@Wild-Siberia : Once upon a time, the flights were really cheap, around a couple of hundred bucks. Now with the situation in the Donbas, elevated fuel prices, and limited competition the prices have jumped to around $500. Yet, it is still the cheapest option, being three to four times cheaper than some competitors.
Dan, try touching on the topic of starting a business) I think a lot of people who are thinking about moving are thinking about this. Perhaps someone has a desire to open a business which they cannot build in their own country, but will be able to realize it in Russia.

"Без бумажки ты букашка" which can be translated as "With no paper you are bug, pal" :D Ksenia is right~ Legal procedures in Russia are strict (by the way, we got one of the most shrinked court procedures timings for example)... And if you don't make paper deeds clear, then it's gotta bite you or make some troubles soon.
Оригинал - именно "букашка" ибо отличается от "бумажка" всего двумя буквами, точнее указывает на незначительность и малость человека без документов, да и лучше рифмуется. "Какашка" - вообще более "детское", чтоли, слово и не вписывается во взрослую поговорку о документах.
It's not as bad as you may think. There is always someone who can help or explain what you can do. I've had experience with Canadian officials who just refuse to talk to you.
are the legal processes in the country strict?are you an idiot?I have been living here since birth and openly say that in Russia everything is done through the ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're the man dan! I visited Russia in 2018 for a 3 week holiday during summer and visited Irkutsk, Baikal Lake, Moscow and St Petersburg, it was fantastic. I'm super interested in what you think about the socialism in Russia, such as healthcare, those cheap canteens, and other aspects that are remnants of communist policies.
1 acre of land in the USA, roughly $18,000 USD 1 acre of land in Russia $300-500 USD. The American Dream is no longer achievable in the US. You can start a business and build a house in Russia.

Dear Daniel, Would you consider making another video explaining what you now know about coming to Russia prepared to be a permanent Russian citizen as a single person. I don't mind traveling outside Russia every 6 months. Thanks-John Luke
I Can give a run down in what my life has been but I’m currently working in that process you mentioned so I’ll ask a friend and convey the message. I try to speak on points I already know or do research on it. this is an important topic which you’ve pointed out. I’ll add it to a priority list.

Еще важный момент: рожденные в США ( и в некоторых других странах) дети автоматически получают гражданство, даже если родители - не граждане. В России приехать и "родить ребенка ради гражданства" - не прокатит. Рожать у нас бесплатно (если хочешь - можно платно или даже дома), но вот бумажной волокиты с посольствами потом много. Вообще, есть уже сейчас консультанты (из тех, кто уже прошел путь оформления гражданства), которые помогают выбрать лучший вариант офомления гражданства, рвп и т.д., помогают с документами (список которых может меняться), сроками их подачи и инстанциями.
Hi Dan! Glad to hear you again. That's a very nice idea for a video. As a Russian i agree with all you say, though had little doubts about "going all out" on 100 dollars a week. About 4 years in my hometown a good pizza cost about 6-7 euros (with today's exchange rate), sushi sets were starting at that price more or less. I am told that since then the prices have risen a lot + if you consider that one has to have breakfast, lunch and dinner outside, 100 dollars doesn't seem like enough to go all out. If you eat modestly or buy ready- made foods in hypermarkets, that definitely should be enough though
Im very humble perhaps this is why I miscalculate.. for me going all out means I eat outside every day instead of cooking which a meal for 1 person can be about 10 dollars at most meaning 70 per week with extra 30 to mess around with food 😂
Пицца и суши не выросли. Сто долл вполне хватит 1-3 чел в неделю. Смотря, что есть. Всегда есть свежие недорогие местные овощи, крупы, мясо и рыба. Это почти 30000₽ в мес на еду. На лобстеров каждый день не хватит, но на нормальное питание-более чем. Мы вчера в воскресенье ходили своей семьей в небольшой ресторанчик, нас 2 взрослых и 3 ребенка.

@@yuliabalashova3866 а вы где живёте, извините меня? Я брала одной себе пиццу за 600 руб, чай около 200 руб- уже 800 руб с человека, если больше ничего не брать. И это было 4 года назад. Сейчас пицца стоит сильно дороже. А если ты завтракаешь- обедаешь и ужинаешь в ресторане, то умножь это все на 3. Пусть обед- ужин -1600 руб, по ценам 4-летней давности+ завтрак, рублей 250-300, если на брать форель на завтрак, в день получается почти 2000 руб/ чел. В неделю -14000. Это не шикуя.

We spend about 14,000 run per week for three adults and three children in small town in Sverdlovskaya (at current exchange rates, about $155. There’s no going out except to the occasional cafe, as my daughter has a newborn. Prices would be much higher in the big cities though.

Hey. Love the info you provide. Keep it coming. To add to this info. Flights directly into Russia. I would normally go one of a couple of routes via Dubai. 1 emirates Dubai to Moscow. And any connection there after. 2 Dubai (with Rossiya) direct to Sochi 3 Dubai via Istanbul then Rossiya to Sochi. Transit via Georgia requires a visa so ads a extra level of complexity. Via Dubai direct to Sochi means only have to worry about the RF entry requirements.

Some say, taking flight to Helsinki, capital of Finland and taking a bus from there into Russian city of Vyborg, is the other way of getting in. Not sure whether it is true or not. But the topic is hot and your approach to talk about solving problems on the ground is even hotter. I am an American of Russian descent, know firsthand that if you come to Russia without respect to its law and traditions of its people , you will be humbled fast. Направление правильное, желаю всяческой удачи и мирного неба.
🙏🏻 if this route is open I wish everyone luck Finland is sort of rude for travelers last I heard who were going to Russia thanks for watching the video and giving insight on other routes
This is the most convenient route to quickly get to St. Petersburg. We used to go to Europe through Finland. From my house to the Finnish border is about 3.5 hours by car. But you definitely need to know whether they are now allowed through Finland to Russia. I think they've gone a little crazy.
Finland now is being submitted to NATO which is not benefiting to the relationship with Russia, so we can reasonably expect some possible frictions at the border crossings. But, given the history of relations between the two countries, we will overcome that too. The smart thing to do before the diving is to know how deep the waters are. So, do your research. This channel will help. Good-speed.
@@GVK000 Finland, being in EU and Schengen, doesn't allow foreigners to "export" currency in cash (EUR or USD) to Russian Federation (remember: sanctions!). The maximum amount permitted per person, when crossing Finnish customs at Vaalimaa is 300 (in rare cases 500) EUR. Though some travellers before have e-mailed to Finnish customs authorities, and got a reply that they can take 100 EUR per day of stay... But anyway, for those who will be bringing piles of cash this route - as well as the routes via EE / Tallinn, LV / Vilnius, and NO/ Kirkenes - is definitely NOT recommended.
I love all the help you give. I'm just learning Russian because I enjoy it, but it's great to know these specifics in case my new language skills lead me there.

We're retired and get Social Security and non-taxable income. Do the same rules apply and would we not be able to continue to get our income because it would be sanctioned? And how about Medical? Can we purchase medical insurance? (Sorry, new viewer)
yes you can get medical attention here but I will for sure figure this out much better for you. as far as pension money from your native country the best way to receive it is through banking with a friendly country near by. taking out in cash and coming back in. I promise as soon as there’s news on this sort of thing which can help I will talk about it. thanks for subscribing to the channel the support doesn’t go unnoticed!
Ambulance service. is free in Russia. The cost of annual medical insurance will be start at 600 USD in . For example: without insurance the full cost of "Coronary artery bypass grafting in conditions of artificial circulation with valve plastic/prosthetics or aneurysmectomy" is 2 873 usd (258 500 rub).
Даниэль молодчага как всегда, всё разложил по полкам! Кстати про Байкал.. Моя учительница испанского в школе в мае 1963 года была в составе группы переводчиков у Фиделя Кастро,когда тот приезжал в Иркутск.Ну естественно Фиделя повезли в Листвянку,омулем кормить(там ему еще и медвежонка подарили) Так вот, Фидель сказал,что если бы ему пришлось жить в СССР, он обязательно бы жил на Байкале...
That’s brilliant thank you for the knowledge and history lesson. Mexico helped Fidel gain a country and Mexico also was good friends with Russia for so long. I wish more Mexicans came as tourists to Baikal, our ancestors are said to come from the shores thousands and thousands of years ago

Living in the USA right now with everything that is happening here don't be surprised if you start seeing a flood of dissidents escaping from the US to Russia in the nearer rather the later future.
ты во многом прав - сменить страну в принципе трудно. не туристом, а именно смена гражданства. и, как ты и сказал - у тебя есть причина, по которой ты хочешь жить здесь.
но - получить гражданство США относительно реально только для мексиканцев.
а вот всему восточному полушарию - нереально. это политика штатов - покупать мозги, а для низкоквалифицированной работы - есть "задний двор", с открытой границей.

As an American who has been coming to Russia regularly since 2018 and now living in Russia as an American expat since May of this year, I can say that everything Daniel pointed out in this video is 100% accurate.
Immigrating to Russia is not easy especially if you’re from an “unfriendly country”. I’m immigrating because I’m marrying a Russian citizen. And even this process is lengthy and full of bureaucratic hurdles. You’ll need to learn the language, too as you’ll have to pass a language proficiency exam as part of your temporary residency application. It’s not easy but it’s worth it. Don’t come to Russia without preparation and having thought the matter through.
Well done, Daniel!
I am so thankful for community members like you who will call me out if Im lying! This is important thanks for the confirmation!
@@Wild-Siberia your videos are full of insights and show Russia from the perspective of a westerner. My fiancé and I watch your videos together and she commented to me when we watched one of your early videos. She said, “Eddie, Daniel reminds me of you when you first came to Moscow. You are both in awe!” 😃
Suerte hermano!

А как Вы хотели? Я смотрела видео одной американки, которая приехала в Санкт-Петербург и очень возмущалась по поводу того, что в кафе персонал не говорит по-английски и нельзя рассчитаться долларами. Наивные глупые люди.
Like in every country, you have to learn the language if you want to immigrate and pass exam, nothing special 🤷
I'd add one more. Do not come here with your eyes and heart shut. If you are not willing to listen and understand the country, don't come.
Great advice
yes!
Главное, не пытайтесь учить русских, а учитесь у них сами.

I am watching your videos, first of all I have to add the following
1. I have been married to Russia for 27 years. I love Russia and Russian people. Their culture , education and honesty
2. I live now in Tomsk. I go overseas for work but my home is in Russia. I am waiting for my Russian nationality
3. Russians will respect you as part of their own. Just respect Russia
4. Yes, Russia is cheap to live in and you have everything, even more than you ever imagined. Always remember having a job or contract project work like I do, brings you a significant amount of money. Never try to show off. Be professional
I am adding this additional information. As of March the 5th 2024, I am a Russian National. Thank you President Putin

As a moroccan I have visited both New York and Moscow within the last 5 years. Moscow is hands down far more advanced, clean, safe and charming. Traffic was overwhelming but the city is huge so understandable.

Before moving to Russia (I'm not talking about tourism - everything is simple here: got a visa, took a cash and go ahead, there will be no problems at all) study the channels of foreigners who have already traveled this path. There are a lot of them on UA-cam and feel free to write to these people to find out all the details - they usually leave their contacts. Just be patient and wait for a response. Maybe Daniel will make a video review of such channels - he probably knows them (Joseph Rose, Justus Walker, Australians from Siberian Freedom channel who moved here to build a farm, etc. - they are very active on UA-cam)... And yes, if you want to move here, but do not want to merge into our culture and society and adapt to life here, you should not try. Just visit Russia as a tourist - it will be cool, tasty, fun.
exactly the thing I say the most come as a Tourist first!
I don’t want to be part of a country which behaves as Ruzzia does at the moment.
@@svensulzmann4282 and don't
@@svensulzmann4282 No one is calling you here, so your “I don’t want” is of no interest to anyone.
@@darthgoha still it is important to contextualize for completeness sake.
I feel that I would need to go to Russia sooner or later, as it is not safe for someone like me in the States. I've been supporting Russia publicly for almost the past 10 years, since I was 15 years old. When I was 18, the Feds came and questioned me. If things continue to heat up with Russia, I fear the US government will take greater action against those who speak out. The one thing that prevented me from actually going to Russia years ago was my family. I didn't want to leave them, which is how I feel today. However, I fear I will not have the choice in the near future and will have to protect myself. Sadly, such choices have to be made, and are made by many people. Sometimes difficult decisions need to be made, but it would be better than becoming a political prisoner.
If you have documentary evidence that the government is putting pressure on you, you can apply for political asylum in Russia. I apologize for the Google translator) We don't have a paradise in Russia, but it's nice to live)

Another good route to Russia from the east coast is Uzbekistan Airways. I have used this many times over the 19 years with my wife from Tashkent and the flight is even better now. In the beginning there was a refuel stop in Belgrade or Riga, but now they go straight from JFK to Tashkent. It’s a 12 hr flight, but you are covering alot of miles fast. Transfer visas are readily available. Their flights to Russia include Moscow,Omsk, Ekaterinburg,St Petersburg, Novosibirsk AND Irkutsk.
Thanks for adding this to the comment section this is very usefull
There's also Air Astana (Kazakhstan owned) that has direct flights from JFK to Astana, capital of Kazakhstan. And from Astana it's much closer to fly to many parts of Russia than it is from Tashkent. Astana is actually in close proximity to Russian Siberia.
Dubai also
@@Wild-Siberia Hi I have some questions:
- How about coming with the car? From Poland?
- I heard I need health insurance. Can I get it at the boarder somehow?
- And do I need insurrance for my car? Probably also easy to get at the boarder?
Some background: Frist I want to visit Russia as a tourist. I am sick of the west and of Europe. I really consider living and becoming Russian. I am a very experienced engineer, unfortunately I only speak some Russian words, but I heard as a Pole it is easy to learn Russian. And I have two citizenships: German and Polish. Born Polish, lived 35 years in Germany, I hate both my countries. Especially this intolerance and russophobia. I lived 35 years in Germany. Never there was an issue with Russians. I experienced Russians as respectful and friendly.

Thank you for your honesty and your informative video. I’m retired, 73 and have no intention of traveling to Russia. That said, I enjoy learning about Russia via Eli From Russia YT channel. Good luck to you and thanks again for your video.
Having worked in Russia in very late 90s and then from 2010 for a few years, I can say that the country vastly changed for the better. Let's not forget that USSR lost at least 27 million during WWII. It is estimated that during lawless 90s between 10 and 20 million were lost. In the late 90 we went everywhere with security services assigned. Today's Russia is not perfect but it's a country many are happy to live in for economic, cultural, religious, ecological, historic reasons. If one wants to come, then learn the language, culture, history. Respect where you live. Integrate! Come to Russia because you want to be there. Don't come to Russia if you are simply running away from something. Russia is a destination of one's soul. Thank you, Dan and Ksenia for a great video.❤

@@Wild-Siberia Thank you, Dan. It's an honour. You are a person of distinguished background yourself. I admire your pragmatic lens on things and your open mind and love for all things living under God. I don't know how often you visit Kevin's Crimea channel. We sometimes talk about work or past work. A few there are either past or even present alumni of 3 letter agencies specialising in Russia and USSR. We would be really bad if we did not have good knowledge . Where we failed is in not getting infected with Russophobia, something many of our colleagues are sick with. Those of us healthy of mind are resorted to double lives, like Штирлиц. Ksenia can explain that one to you.

Thanks for the information
Very good advice! I am actually in Russia now for 2 mths on a private visa from my gf who has an apt. in Kaluga and with tourist visa in Canada where I live. I brought 2K$ US in cash which goes into a Sberbank account. Cdn$ are not accepted here. You can pay for most things using a card except for street vendors who take cash only. The shortest flight from eastern Canada is through Casablanca then Moscow about 13hrs not including layover. It is easy to take bus or train from the airports. As for language, I have been learning Russian for 2 yrs on my own and although I can speak and understand a little, it remains a difficult language. Don't think for a moment one can wing it with a tourist book of common expressions! Most people speak only Russian so another thing to prepare if you are travelling alone. Fortunately I'm with a native Russian and family which has helped enormously. Overall I love it here, I've spent time in Moscow, St.Peters, Kaluga. Everywhere I've been, everyone dresses well, streets are impeccably clean, lots of parks with playsets, fountains open all hours of the night. There seems to be little to no crime here, no vagrants or shady people where I've been. The sanctions don't seem to have affected much at least for food or things you might need on a trip. Best of luck if you come, there is a lot of beauty here.
Thanks so much for the personal input and your point of view is so unique! Thanks a lot for supporting the channel through this! By the way I own a 1966 mustang and I like your name 😂🙏🏻

My brother married a girl from Donetsk. Upon arrival, she applied for citizenship. Obtaining citizenship took 4 years. During this time, she managed to study at a medical institute and found a job in a sanatorium. The process of obtaining citizenship in Russia takes place only according to the law and it is the same for everyone. Both for former Ukrainians and for people from the USA. Yes, you will be able to have a good time with money here while on a tourist visa. But if you want to live here and do your business here, you will have to experience some inconveniences mainly related to the time of registration. But Russia is a country of law and they will not be able to refuse you if you are a law-abiding person and are ready to live here. Russian taxes are still the most lenient in the world. And in general, doing business here is very profitable. If you treat Russia and our laws well, Russia will become your homeland.
Желаю Вам добра и удачи🍀❤
This is good, no?
You can settle in Russia if you are married to a Russian, if you have a russian kid or if you are a sought after professional and if you speak enough Russian language.
If you are young, you can apply for a student visa and stay for up to three years, unless i'm mistaken.
As for bringing your money, there are solutions, but they change on a regular basis. So, yes, cash is the easy way.
For Europeans or east coast Americans, you can travel to Russia through Erevan, Armenia too.
Yes this is all true and thanks for adding it to the comment section ;D
My pleasure Dan :-) @@Wild-Siberia
Easiest way is to open a Russian bank account and transfer money between countries via crypto (there are several services that will send crypto right to a Russian card). That's what I do, and it's even faster and lower fees than the ole' SWIFT days. But maybe not suitable for large amounts - but it's all legal (for now).
A new law they are about to introduce will allow to cancel your newly acquired citizenship if you avoid military service. But I'm sure it won't apply to white people and/or American citizens. Have fun. ✌

Try to get Student visa. You can learnt Russian and work then. And after you can apply for residence.
I have very long range plans for Russia. My passion is to develop young men & women, from ages of first readers to young adults, to pick up conversational Russian, & make periodic trips to Russia. I yearn for visits to the big cities, & the trans Siberian railroad & much more. I see myself having a place in an American village on a provisional basis. I will always be an American citizen. But I want my children who love travel to visit one of the most fantastic countries on this planet. After they have spent time in Russia, they will feel open to any place in the world.

There was a time that I wanted to visit Russia, so I could take trip on a trans Siberia railway, from Vladivostok to Moscow. I have put this trip on a back burner forever. Thanks for the video. From Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
Don't do it! Russia will destroy your plans, your life and your future! Review "Law Abiding Citizen" - you will meet sitizens like this every vizit! Keep away!
This video is great advice. As someone who is married to a lady from the other side of the world to my country (Australia, I married a Lithuanian), and who spent around 20 years working and living in Europe, I can say that nobody should immigrate to any country because they are unhappy with their own country. You stay and try to make it better, if you feel that way.
The thing is, family is most important in life. Family and work are what determine your happiness. So, if you are going to move to a different country, you should have plans to make a new family there, and also to be a productive worker there. It doesn't matter what type of work, but working for a living is the only real way to integrate and build real relationships that will sustain your happiness. Working and paying taxes also means you are paying something to your new country, and carrying your weight. You also learn the language this way, unless your "job" is something totally freaky and weird, like being a youtube content creator.
Another bit of advice is don't imagine people are impressed by someone who always talks down their home nation. People everywhere, from all walks of life, are smart. We all know what it means, if someone has nothing good to say about where they came from. It means they will have nothing good to say about where they are now, in a little while.
Changing ones "home" country is hard. It is stressful and difficult, even at the best of times. If you are not doing it for love, and to start or sustain a family, my advice is not to do it at all.
Lastly, do not be afraid to invest a bit of money with a law firm from the town or city where you intend to immigrate, to handle the paperwork. It is a great investment in your time and sanity, and the advice you will get will benefit you in all kinds of unexpected ways.
Stay and make it better? There is part where he talks about spoiled westerners that think everything is easy. I recognized that tone in your comment and that is ok. Just do not talk like that to people in Ukraine, Yemen, Sudan, Niger, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit...

Greetings from East Coast US!
I am of full East European decent, everything you need to know is my heart and soul resides in Russia.
Growing up in a Russian Orthodox Parish community, it shaped me a lot. Glory to God, I am becoming even more involved in my church as well as the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate.
I have been learning the language for a couple of years now.
Russia was my dream country to visit (at least), not because it's easier, cheaper, etc, but because it holds a unique charm within my heart
With that being said, my family and I decided to wait on the idea of visiting because of the current situations, and this video kinda solidified that decision. I still pray that one day we will get to see this gorgeous country in flesh.
Мы любим вас!

My wife and I recently spent 2weeks in Estonia and was told that it was easy to travel by bus from Estonia to St Petersburg Russia if you already have a visa. It’s easy to fly to Estonia from anywhere in Europe so that might be an option for some people. We live in Spain so that is how we plan to go once we have visas.
Also from Helsinki you can catch a buss to SPB. Ecolines, Lux Express and Sovtransauto have many daily departures. Plus smaller minibus companies also have daily routes.
This is all good news I hope it’s all still working now
@@Wild-Siberiait is
Actually similar options exist in all three Baltic States plus Helsinki . Guess it’s whichever you prefer. But coming from Western Europe or the USA that would avoid the expensive airfares brought on by the sanctions.
I just checked Ecolines website and the fare listed travelling from Helsinki to SPB is 97€ for 6 and half hours while travelling from Tallinn Estonia is listed at 40€ for about the same length of time. So if airfares to Helsinki or Tallinn are similar it could influence the decision.

I have always vibed with the Russians in the US bc I’m really introverted and mind my biz. 5) I want to visit their monasteries and churches 6) I want to possibly attend their realistic art academy.
Thank you for your info brotha!
Удачи!
Привет!

Hey brother . Great segment with truth bombs. Been following your channel for a few months now. I'm also a retired Vet ( Canadian military) . Been thinking about getting out to Russia Mainly to learn the language and study the culture of Orthodox Christianity as I am also Eastern Orthodox. Any information about the church culture there would be much appreciated. Cheers
first of all thanks for your service and thanks for the support on this channel! remember if you ever visit Baikal you’ve got a guide here 🙏🏻
Cheers brother. And thank you for your service as well. Yes I have been intrigued by the Baikal region largely based on your reviews and videos. It looks like a slice of heaven man. My parents actually live in Cali. LA , me and my son will be heading there for Christmas to visit them. If you're States side in the holiday season we should have a beer brother ☺️👍

Нужно понимать, что приезжая в Россию, вы приезжаете в многонациональную страну, в империю, если вам угодно. Не оскорбляй жителей, чти законы и все будет хорошо😊

на словах "многонациональная страна", на деле косые взгляды в сторону азиатов или кавказцев. Квартиры сдают только "лицам славянской внншности". И да, за общение на украинском языке сколько сейчас лет дают?

Been to Russia many times for about a month at a time. Everything Daniel says here is absolutely true. Last time I was there was in April 2023. It was much more difficult for me, as an American, on that trip. I was held for many hours and questioned quite a lot. (It's a story all on its own that I won't detail here.) But I did fly into Moscow from Tbilisi via Minsk (still not direct flights from Tbilisi that I can find.) I left via bus through Tallinn, Estonia. This is a much easier route despite the 7 hour bus ride. Easier time at passport control, and really an easier travel day. Later, I just flew to next destination from Tallinn airport.
Like Daniel, I brought a pile of cash. They never asked to see it, just asked how much I brought. I was asked several times if I was in Russia to work, so again, Daniel is right on about that - they are very concerned about this.
An EXTREMELY important note about American dollars: Only bring $100 bills, and get them crispy clean. If they are marked or worn in any way, they will be rejected and not accepted for exchange. Seriously. One of my bills had a tiny pen dot the size of a period and it was rejected. Also, it's better to take it to a good currency exchange and then take the rubles to the bank if you intend to open an account. Currency exchanges will offer a better rate than the bank. At currency exchange, you need to provide passport to do the exchange if it's over $500, and there's a ceiling to how much you can exchange this way in total during your stay. Better to just exchange $500 at a time, because they don't even ask for passport for that amount. If you really need more, just leave and come back to the exchange later - even the same day is OK. I was in St Petersburg and Moscow, but in smaller towns, a good currency exchange might be harder to find.
Daniel mentioned the need for a visa. When I left Russia via Estonia, I met an American woman in passport control. She was trying to get into Russia without a visa. I don't know how her story ended because I left before she did. But she said she was "seeking asylum" in Russia because of some kind of persecution in America. I think she was a little cuckoo bananas, and doubt that she got in.
Great videos Daniel, really appreciate your channel.

I don't know if I'll ending up doing this, but one of my dreams is to restart an optics company in Russia called Intes. The people who ran the company retired, but it was one of the greatest telescope manufacturers in the world. As a physicist, I developed an interest in the Maksutov telescope, and these optics were specially made by Russian engineers. They were incredibly well made scopes, with surface accuracy on the mirrors well above what most companies could make at the time. Intes also had connections to the military, and I wonder if the rest of the company actually got absorbed after the people that ran it retired. These scopes go for thousands of dollars, and are a rare collector item now.
you have to try
never hesitate buddy,you really want to do it and like it, then do it👍
Я переехал в Россию, когда все считали, что у неё нет будущего. Но, у меня было чувство, что я переезжаю домой. Это был 1992 год. На самом деле, я не очень люблю людей, которые едут за "хорошей жизнью". Граждане должны бороться за процветание своей страны, прежде всего, и верить в свою страну. Но, я понимаю, что сегодня, в некоторых странах легально бороться против сумасшедшего либерализма практически невозможно. Что же... Россия не против принять законопослушных, трудолюбивых, нормальных людей. Россия приняла немецких мигрантов, французских, когда-то. Из США приезжали в советскую Россию американские инженеры, чтобы помочь построить заводы. Многие остались тут жить. Но, надо понимать, что Россия находится на острие борьбы с западными элитами за своё выживание и вы можете пострадать. Если у вас с этим нет проблем, то можно смело переезжать

And she fell in love in this place so much that told me that she feels jelous to everyone who comes to this presious place. She is very afraid that this town can be spoiled by tourists and rude people. So her behaviour makes me filling to go there as soon as possible to see everything by my own eyes.

It's never too late to start life from scratch. It all depends on your desire.
If you are ready to work, become a foreign language teacher. There are a lot of foreign language courses in Russia; every parent wants their child to know at least English. Language schools will help you with both a visa and housing.
Native speakers are especially valued in Russia. American English courses are also popular. In Russian public schools they teach classical British English, it is complex and incomprehensible. Therefore, people often take English courses at private training centers.
Even if you don’t know Russian, you will still be of interest to different language schools. But when you learn Russian, your income will increase.
Even in small cities, the salary of a native speaker will be above $1000. But in small towns life is much cheaper, rent is $150-200.

Soy ecuatoriano. He viajado vsrias veces por Europa. Estudié mi postgrado en Estsdos Unidos. Nunca había pensado siquiera en viajar a Rusia.
Pero en este par de años he abierto los ojos. Rusia me parece un país extraotdinario. Lo que mss me impresiona es cómo salieron del abismo de los 1990s, cuando reinaban las mafias y la corrupción, hasta convertirse en un país moderno, próspero, seguro.... y sin las atrocidades sociales que afectan a occidente. Por eso estoy atendiendo el idioma ruso y espero poder visitar Rusia el próximo año.

You really need to come as a tourist first and enjoy the country. See it for yourself. That is what I tell everybody.
Basucally, treat Russia and Russians as equals, and you're going to have a good time. I have a good friend of mine from Texas who came here as a tourist initially, but later on got a working visa and lives just fine working as a translator and tutor.

Are they married? If they are, the Canadian spouse can get a family multiple entry visa. Then when they come, they apply for temporary residence which lasts 5 yours but after the first year of temporary residence, he can apply for permanent residence. The only paperwork problem is APOSTILIZING the criminal check needed for the temporary residence. Canada has not joined the other countries and it's a kind of complicated process.

I don't think people from the "West" realise how different the culture is in Eastern Europe. Maybe it's a throwback to USSR times, USSR ruled Eastern Europe. As an Irishman living in Bulgaria for over a decade, it is still hard at times, but it is worth it. Eastern Europe, for the most part is Slavic in culture. Never forget this. Slavs are very industrious people, clever, intelligent, practical, gentle. Never mistake this gentleness for weakness. At all times be respectful. Will add as an edit, Cyrillic is easy to learn, it's very phonetic. Not easy to pronounce the words. Even after a decade I still struggle with Bulgarian when trying to speak it. What you learn in books, you don't hear on the streets. My Dublin accent kills Bulgarian, but it's great fun, at times!!
😅 i don’t think even some of your people on the island understand
I’ve a broad Australian accent and it kills Russian pronunciation. It takes people a while to realise that I’m speaking Russian.

In fact, there are many states that have direct flights to Russia: Turkey, Egypt, UAE, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Israel, Qatar, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Abkhazia , Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Cyprus.

There is a list of professions whose holders in Russia receive citizenship under a simplified scheme (there is this document on the Internet). As far as I remember, this applies to the professions of construction, automotive, bridge construction, IT technology specialists, medicine, teaching in schools.. I don’t understand the full list.
If you are a good person, you will not be alone in Russia, especially if you look for contacts and learn Russian. If you are a pensioner and have a permanent pension, then you need to settle near the border with Kazakhstan or Mongolia in order to travel abroad and receive your pension (in Russia it is now difficult with international transfers). If your pension payments are more than $1000 per month, then you can count on a wonderful old age in Russia. You can live both in the city and in the countryside (for example, on the shores of Lake Baikal). You can also purchase (or take a long-term lease) a plot of land and engage in some kind of farming (both for small income and for pleasure). The most important thing is to resolve everything correctly with documents for a long-term stay in the country.@@1Channel1

In my city of Ufa I know an Italian from Italy who married Russian girl and started a bakery 10 years ago. I used to buy focaccia bread from him. Now he owns a restaurant chain Elio. Sure we had pizza joints in Ufa. But real Italian pizza from real Italian man is a whole different matter. I miss Mexican tacos and burritos. We don't have that in Ufa. So.
Yes it's hard to make Mexican food in Russia even in Saint Petersburg there was no real Mexican food I will see and visit Moscow to check in October!
I would assume the correct spices at least would be available in stores since so many countries use the same spices, just mixed differently. Ok maybe not jalapenos but you can get them dried online or plant some. But peppers are available in Georgian goods stores for sure. Look at a Mexican recipe, it's easy. Probably have better sour cream and cheese too.

You can fly to Russia from Dubai, UAE to several cities inside Russia via Emirates, Fly Dubai, Air Arabia and several Russian airlines too.
CASH INFO: You can bring as much cash money as you like, there is no limit. The only thing is that anything over $10,000 you just have to declare it at the Red Channel when going through customs. This is true for pretty much any country in the world except UAE where you have to declare anything over $35,000. That's all. People assume that $10,000 is the limit which is not true. I did this a few times, true story. Also make sure you bring clean, preferably brand new notes, or notes that do not have any markings on them. It's easier to get those cashed at any bank.
you reminded me to talk about this!
Like you mentioned, I was able to open Russian checking account with Sper Bank using my tourist visa. Russian friend accompanied me when I opened an account with Sper Bank. For me it's more convenient paying with a debit card. Side note, most Gym memberships are more expensive than American gyms. Especially the nicer ones in Russia.
Will add it here as it´s related. As for sim card/bank account: get Russian sim card first, then the bank account. Your phone number will be connected to your account and you have access to the account via an app. No idea what would happen if you go to the bank and do NOT have a Russian phone number. Opening an account took me 30min. My chosen bank even have me a card right then and there. Heard that for some banks it takes some time (days).

You know, in videos of many people of former immigrants that come back to Russia nowdays, often the most upvoted comments are along lines of people's observation that to the west people were leaving for money and to Russia people are leaving for the soul. And in this case people would have so much better experience. It's only in this case I think all other aspects like financial side, documents and everything else will eventually fall into place too, because local people will also embrace them and will be helping them along their way

How can you get "help" where no one is qualified for anything? Even for basic householding maintenace stuff? Lots of men around my grandmas dacha and they can't fix anything for SH*T. I had to get back into the matters and fix the entire plumbing. Recently no one could replace the damn lawn trimmer cord, I was walking around and calling them f****ts out loud after it took half a minute to change it. Men cannot sew clothes, cut wood, grow food. They are all fat, drunk, and emasculated just like in the US. Sorry, people coming to Russia, you are on your own.
Awesome man, I love it dude. I really want to visit russia and I appreciate all you pointers! Thank you!
Thanks for watching f
By the way, direct flights are also available from Serbia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Dubai and Egypt...to name a few more. If you're coming from the west coast of N.America, I suggest Hong Kong and from the east coast, Dubai and Turkey seem to offer the most options.
Regardless of what route you take from home...it is VERY important to get a direct flight into Russia from whatever Russia friendly country you leave from. You do not want to transit thru any country that has sanctioned Russia.
I also suggest buying the ticket for the leg that gets you to Russia separately from the rest of your trip. You probably don't want your official travel itinerary to include a Russian destination.
Do your research. Flying to Russia is not like going anywhere else you have been.
very good advice good job friend 🙏🏻🫡
Love the channel. Keep up the good work. I’m 60 and studying Russian here in the US via italki, but I would love to study Russian in Russia. Am I too old to get a student visa? Is there an age limit on students? Thanks in advance.
I'll have to ask around thats a brilliant question! Amazing I never thought about that!
In Moscow we have a Citi bank. I’m able to withdraw money in roubles from my Citi bank debit card that I opened in the States.
They convert dollars from your checking account into roubles. And the exchange rate isn’t that bad.
No way...
@@Wild-Siberia yes! You can withdraw from your Citi debit card based in the U.S. up to 30 000 roubles per one transaction. However it’s not working with other banks. I tried to withdraw from TD bank debit card and it did not work.

Hi Daniel. I am a new subscriber. I found you through Real Reporter. Thank you for providing us with honest answers about Russia. I wanted to ask you: how did you find your way from LA to Russia? And, how did find your way to Slyudyanka? You probably have answered those questions in another video but I haven't had the chance to view them yet. Anyway, thanks again and we hope you will have a nice Thanksgiving. Looking forward to more videos. Our best to you from Burlington, West Virginia. John
my friend thanks for your support
I found in the Afghanistan war for various campaigns. Afghanistan is a hot place after I left a Military, I left the United States.
I lived in countries like Germany, Bulgaria, Spain, Costa Rica Mexico, amongst other countries.
As a young man, I watched National Geographic channel There was a portion where they talked about Siberian, how miserable it was how hard it was to survive there.
So I travel to Russia now because of Russia I went for Siberia. My trip was supposed to happen 2019 at the end of it in winter. But then Covid shut everything down.
I waited years to travel and in 2022 the war started so I said forget it I won’t wait any longer and I just flew. I chose Irkutsk for its location deep in Siberia.
I meant my woman by chance and look I made a video about this. That is how I ended up in Slydanka. Her father’s from there we went to visit him. I enjoyed fishing, and I enjoyed the small town life.
I hope that answers your questions
Yes it did, Daniel, thank you for your reply. I look forward to your new videos and wish you well. Good luck fishing too! John, WV

I wonder if it's easier for people from South America to come to Russia? Ive watched documentary about russian orthodox coming back to Russia from Bolivia/Brasil - they even got some land from Rus government to build a farm on but it took them some time.
A lot of countries from south america can visit Russia without paper visa! I linked a list on the comment section.
Yeah, they’re ethnically Russians, so they’re emigrated specifically by the program which was destined for them, as their ancestors lived in Russia, and they’re strong farmers.
Hola @quasisaur, yes Bolivian citizens can travel to Russia without a visa. Though the reciprocal step has been made only in September 2016, after GazProm won some huge tender re. working at Bolivian natural gaz. Prior to that timepoint, getting a Bolivian visa for Russian citizens was a nightmare - with a mandatory criminal records check, yellow fewer vaccination, 10 working days wait and $80 costs.
I think Siberia is such a good place to come for living because here are many different nations, religions and cultures lives together. But if you're not ready to its harsh climate and for 6 month of winter(this can be really hard for not prepared person) then don't come. But you of course can try and taste it by yourself.
I agree 4-6 months of cold winter can break some
people 😅 for me I consider January February and some parts of March the worst colder months. late January early February it’s very cold 🤌🏻
And the most important skill for anybody moving to another country is patience and humility. You might think a country is inefficient and slow in dealing paperwork and maybe are are liable to become frustrated at having to make many copies, photos and prove the same details over and over, but, remember you are a guest. During my time living in S.E. Asia and the M.E. I learned that you can make a lot of friends in the queues and that patience and cooperation goes a long way when dealing with bureaucracy because the people behind the desk will reciprocate and make it easier for you too.
Oh and, make sure you know how to obtain Police reports for the countries you have lived in recently. This can be a slow process and needs to be completed 100% correctly.
This is true! Always be humble
Looking at the video thumbnail, I first thought, “Another one of *those* videos, huh?”, and checked it out of curiosity, expecting hate or phobia, etc. It turns out that this is neither a pessimistic nor an optimistic view, but a very true warning for those who plan to visit my homeland. Good job, man.
Thanks a lot it’s literally the reasons why not to go to Russia
600$/month is enough in the most Russian cities. But not enough in St. Petersburg or especially Moscow.
Yes, you wont die, you still can rent apartment with roommates and eat bare minimum. But expect struggles if you have less than 1000$/mo in Moscow (80% will go just for the rent)
Смотря где жить. Сейчас $1000 это условно 90 тысяч, нормальную квартиру можно спокойно снимать за 40000 р. (≈ $350-400)
For flights from the North American east coast the most expedient route is through Istanbul, Turkey.
This is correct ;D
@@Wild-Siberia : Once upon a time, the flights were really cheap, around a couple of hundred bucks. Now with the situation in the Donbas, elevated fuel prices, and limited competition the prices have jumped to around $500. Yet, it is still the cheapest option, being three to four times cheaper than some competitors.
Direct flights to Russia from Dubai, Abu Dhabi , Sharjah , Muscat , Bahrain and Egypt as well !!
Also do check out direct flights from Delhi (India)
Dan, try touching on the topic of starting a business)
I think a lot of people who are thinking about moving are thinking about this. Perhaps someone has a desire to open a business which they cannot build in their own country, but will be able to realize it in Russia.
Yes I will do my research on this especially because next year I will try to start my own!
@@Wild-Siberia
so NEXT year you're going to open your own business? and until that time, (i.e., for a whole year), are you going to live from morning to evening picking your fingers in the ass?

"Без бумажки ты букашка" which can be translated as "With no paper you are bug, pal" :D
Ksenia is right~ Legal procedures in Russia are strict (by the way, we got one of the most shrinked court procedures timings for example)... And if you don't make paper deeds clear, then it's gotta bite you or make some troubles soon.
не надо разводить толерастию. какашка не букашка.
Оригинал - именно "букашка" ибо отличается от "бумажка" всего двумя буквами, точнее указывает на незначительность и малость человека без документов, да и лучше рифмуется. "Какашка" - вообще более "детское", чтоли, слово и не вписывается во взрослую поговорку о документах.
ну да, оригинал написал Маяковский, а народ, как всегда, подредактировал.
It's not as bad as you may think. There is always someone who can help or explain what you can do. I've had experience with Canadian officials who just refuse to talk to you.
are the legal processes in the country strict?are you an idiot?I have been living here since birth and openly say that in Russia everything is done through the ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're the man dan! I visited Russia in 2018 for a 3 week holiday during summer and visited Irkutsk, Baikal Lake, Moscow and St Petersburg, it was fantastic. I'm super interested in what you think about the socialism in Russia, such as healthcare, those cheap canteens, and other aspects that are remnants of communist policies.
Im working on a video on healthcare actually thanks for watching im so happy you saw baikal!
Нет здесь больше социализма. Америка убила все хорошее, что было.

This is a good video. I agree with this video 100% Overall yea great job Daniel, shout out to your fiancée ksenia and to the channel.
Thanks so much for the positive review! Your support means a lot!
Dear Daniel, Would you consider making another video explaining what you now know about coming to Russia prepared to be a permanent Russian citizen as a single person. I don't mind traveling outside Russia every 6 months. Thanks-John Luke
I Can give a run down in what my life has been but I’m currently working in that process you mentioned so I’ll ask a friend and convey the message. I try to speak on points I already know or do research on it.
this is an important topic which you’ve pointed out. I’ll add it to a priority list.
@@Wild-Siberia / Yes, I figured since you want to help foreigners navigate around the Lake Baikal area that you would be researching these important traveling details! Thank you and Ksenia for all you are doing to make coming to Russia a nice experience for foreigners! I am so happy that you found one another...it was as though God put you two together at just the right time❤ Dios he bendiga hermano!
First thing that you need to do is find an exemption to the quota system. Highly qualified Specialist or Student are probably you best options.
Еще важный момент: рожденные в США ( и в некоторых других странах) дети автоматически получают гражданство, даже если родители - не граждане. В России приехать и "родить ребенка ради гражданства" - не прокатит. Рожать у нас бесплатно (если хочешь - можно платно или даже дома), но вот бумажной волокиты с посольствами потом много.
Вообще, есть уже сейчас консультанты (из тех, кто уже прошел путь оформления гражданства), которые помогают выбрать лучший вариант офомления гражданства, рвп и т.д., помогают с документами (список которых может меняться), сроками их подачи и инстанциями.
Dan does reply to every comment I post. He recently helped me fill out my visa form. %100 amazing human being.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's right, I totally agree!!!Also, if you are carrying cash, do not forget to declare everything correctly!!!
Yes always tell the truth!
...under $10K is green channel anyway.
Hi Dan! Glad to hear you again.
That's a very nice idea for a video.
As a Russian i agree with all you say, though had little doubts about "going all out" on 100 dollars a week. About 4 years in my hometown a good pizza cost about 6-7 euros (with today's exchange rate), sushi sets were starting at that price more or less. I am told that since then the prices have risen a lot + if you consider that one has to have breakfast, lunch and dinner outside, 100 dollars doesn't seem like enough to go all out.
If you eat modestly or buy ready- made foods in hypermarkets, that definitely should be enough though
Im very humble perhaps this is why I miscalculate.. for me going all out means I eat outside every day instead of cooking which a meal for 1 person can be about 10 dollars at most meaning 70 per week with extra 30 to mess around with food 😂
Пицца и суши не выросли. Сто долл вполне хватит 1-3 чел в неделю. Смотря, что есть. Всегда есть свежие недорогие местные овощи, крупы, мясо и рыба. Это почти 30000₽ в мес на еду. На лобстеров каждый день не хватит, но на нормальное питание-более чем. Мы вчера в воскресенье ходили своей семьей в небольшой ресторанчик, нас 2 взрослых и 3 ребенка. Сьели: 2 супа, 2 паста карбонара, мохито безалкогольный, молочный коктейль, судак (рыба) с овощами, стейк свиной с овощами, картошка фри с сосисками детскими и овощами, компот. За все это мы заплатили 3000₽ (40 долл)
@@yuliabalashova3866 а вы где живёте, извините меня?
Я брала одной себе пиццу за 600 руб, чай около 200 руб- уже 800 руб с человека, если больше ничего не брать. И это было 4 года назад. Сейчас пицца стоит сильно дороже. А если ты завтракаешь- обедаешь и ужинаешь в ресторане, то умножь это все на 3. Пусть обед- ужин -1600 руб, по ценам 4-летней давности+ завтрак, рублей 250-300, если на брать форель на завтрак, в день получается почти 2000 руб/ чел. В неделю -14000. Это не шикуя.
А, если бы внимательно слушали, то знали бы, что он сказал "если шиковать". Так что ваши примеры неадекватны.
@WildSiberian yes, Dan, you're extremely humble, even for Russia 😄
We spend about 14,000 run per week for three adults and three children in small town in Sverdlovskaya (at current exchange rates, about $155. There’s no going out except to the occasional cafe, as my daughter has a newborn. Prices would be much higher in the big cities though.

Hey. Love the info you provide. Keep it coming.
To add to this info. Flights directly into Russia. I would normally go one of a couple of routes via Dubai.
1 emirates Dubai to Moscow. And any connection there after.
2 Dubai (with Rossiya) direct to Sochi
3 Dubai via Istanbul then Rossiya to Sochi.
Transit via Georgia requires a visa so ads a extra level of complexity. Via Dubai direct to Sochi means only have to worry about the RF entry requirements.
Great tips! thanks for taking the time to share knowledge!
Emirates subsidiary Fly Dubai offers flights to many regional cities. I use it to Yekat

Some say, taking flight to Helsinki, capital of Finland and taking a bus from there into Russian city of Vyborg, is the other way of getting in. Not sure whether it is true or not. But the topic is hot and your approach to talk about solving problems on the ground is even hotter. I am an American of Russian descent, know firsthand that if you come to Russia without respect to its law and traditions of its people , you will be humbled fast.
Направление правильное, желаю всяческой удачи и мирного неба.
🙏🏻 if this route is open I wish everyone luck Finland is sort of rude for travelers last I heard who were going to Russia thanks for watching the video and giving insight on other routes
This is the most convenient route to quickly get to St. Petersburg. We used to go to Europe through Finland. From my house to the Finnish border is about 3.5 hours by car. But you definitely need to know whether they are now allowed through Finland to Russia. I think they've gone a little crazy.
Finland now is being submitted to NATO which is not benefiting to the relationship with Russia, so we can reasonably expect some possible frictions at the border crossings.
But, given the history of relations between the two countries, we will overcome that too. The smart thing to do before the diving is to know how deep the waters are. So, do your research. This channel will help.
Good-speed.
@@GVK000 Finland, being in EU and Schengen, doesn't allow foreigners to "export" currency in cash (EUR or USD) to Russian Federation (remember: sanctions!). The maximum amount permitted per person, when crossing Finnish customs at Vaalimaa is 300 (in rare cases 500) EUR. Though some travellers before have e-mailed to Finnish customs authorities, and got a reply that they can take 100 EUR per day of stay... But anyway, for those who will be bringing piles of cash this route - as well as the routes via EE / Tallinn, LV / Vilnius, and NO/ Kirkenes - is definitely NOT recommended.
Finland has closed its border with the Russian Federation. The best option is Türkiye and Dubai.
I love all the help you give. I'm just learning Russian because I enjoy it, but it's great to know these specifics in case my new language skills lead me there.
What you're sharing is valuable pertinent information.

We're retired and get Social Security and non-taxable income. Do the same rules apply and would we not be able to continue to get our income because it would be sanctioned? And how about Medical? Can we purchase medical insurance? (Sorry, new viewer)
yes you can get medical attention here but I will for sure figure this out much better for you.
as far as pension money from your native country the best way to receive it is through banking with a friendly country near by. taking out in cash and coming back in.
I promise as soon as there’s news on this sort of thing which can help I will talk about it. thanks for subscribing to the channel the support doesn’t go unnoticed!
Ambulance service. is free in Russia. The cost of annual medical insurance will be start at 600 USD in . For example: without insurance the full cost of "Coronary artery bypass grafting in conditions of artificial circulation with valve plastic/prosthetics or aneurysmectomy" is 2 873 usd (258 500 rub).
Экстренные случаи решают в России бесплатно. Например, если вы сломали руку, у вас даже не спросят документы. Просто наложат гипс.
