Brother, you nailed it about Russia. Im a 62 year old man, retired army, retired Lutheran Pastor, My fiancé is a 57 year old Doctor who had been a Captain in the Soviet Army. When I traveled to Yekaterinburg where she lives I could not believe how clean the city was. very very little graffiti, no wierdos on the street, but the safety, I could not believe it. I have a conceal and carry weapon license for my state. my pistol goes wherever I go and most men at my Church were also armed. My Fiance and I would walk about a mile through the forest to get to Church and there were young women walking alone in this place. I asked my Fiance, how can this be, but she said, don't worry nothing will happen to them. For a Westerner you are also correct about the groceries, We filled up a grocery basket at the store and it was about $85. In the US this would have cost me $380 to $400. I looked at her gas and electric bill for the month and I asked, is this for a day. I'm not overexaggerating, her gas was about $& and her electric was about $15 for a month. No cost for water. In my town my water bill alone is $250 a month, my gas $85 a month, my electric depending on the month will be between $230 to $550 a month and garbage is $45 a month. But the food tasted so different. I took me a month to get used to it. I was not used to food that was not artificially colored and full of hormones and chemicals. The only thing I do not like, and this is because of the sanctions, but I have to physically carry my money into the country. I could go on and on but I am going back this December to get married, my furniture is already sold, then I will come back and sell my house which has doubled in price in 7 years. I am going to the land where the only place I see a rainbow is in the sky and not flying above my own countries flag. You nailed it brother. .
In the USSR, gas, water, and electricity were almost free. Education, medicine, and housing were definitely free and of a high standard. The state paid for everything. That's what I call a superpower. It was a social state of the highest order. There was nothing even close to this in terms of social security and social protection in other countries. Russians obviously remember this well and know that it is possible in principle. And Western people have been accustomed for centuries to a model where you have to pay for everything yourself, and they have been throwing mud at the USSR all the time.
Alternative to carrying cash into the country is crypto. The fees do eat away some small percentage though, but it's an option. Also, it's better to use the bigger platforms that have a good reputation.
So all the propaganda that America tells us how unsafe russia is for Americans is all bs? Cause I was to be with my girlfriend and she lives in Barnaul what are your thoughts about this?
The people who are moving to Russia are smart. They are getting a better value for the buck, and it's a beautiful place. Russia is not a perfect country, and neither one exists. People need to look beyond the mainstream media narrative, do their own research, and go see it for themselves. This UA-camr, not sure of his name, is right.
One piece of advice in learning Russian or most any language is build a vocabulary. Most people will know what you are talking about. Grammer and other norms related to comprehension will eventually become apparent.
@@Freeliner75 If we imagine a situation where Asia becomes more attractive than Europe economically, in terms of security, etc. (which seems to be the case now) - the question of choosing a place to live becomes acute for a European. I don't think Russian is harder to learn than Chinese, for example. But I could be wrong.
@@End0fst0ry You are absolutely right. The more so that a Russian sentence can have ANY word order. And many English speakers who moved to Russia have already studied Russian, some of them even without attending special courses.
I love most their Patriotism, Traditions, sense of History with love and passion. Hauntingly beautiful music, Gregorian chorals, Ensembles, Orchestra, Folk Songs, War Songs and yes also Revolutionary music that is buynd to move you deeply. So are the Russian and Soviet movies which carry high humanistic values. And off course about everything you just praised. Never seen so many beutifully feminine dressed Women in any other county. May Father Moroz Bless you soon.
please, Gregorian chorals are Catholic, we have our own Orthodox church with Greek based tradition in singing initially, then Italian and German secular music influences, then purely Russian classical tradition developed
@@ЕваХаритонова-ц6л "Gregorian chorals are Catholic" That' s how superficial western reporters have changed that into ALL Church chorals, relted to Russia, with a wide Brush. So pardon my ignorance not looking deeper into that chorals topic.
There so called Patriotism is more like Imperialism and they lost there true Christian traditions right after the Soviet revolution there Neo Pagans and their history is cool but it's cheap they tricked other nations for most of there history the Russian Empire for example was a Knock off or replacement of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth which was a power for 300 years
Hello! I’m Russian who lives in Los Angeles, CA, who been caught by propaganda of the liberal beliefs and moved to the US almost 4 years ago. Now I’ll get some things done and going to return back to Russia. It was an incredible experience living in the US and learnt English from the scratch by myself but also I got that I won’t never find a level of comfort and safety for my family here but in Russia. There’s no such big cities in the US like Moscow, Sankt-Petersburg, Kazan, Perm, Yekaterinburg and so on with even close level of safety like in Russia. Also service is much worser here in the US, unfortunately. Even compared to my small and modest town in Russia. Even bars, cafes and restaurants I cannot find anything similar by quality here in the US although I traveled a lot interstate. I was dreaming about another US. Sorry guys, but that is just my truth, don’t want to insult anyone. Welcome to Russia, then! There you are always safe even if someone doesn’t smile you like. :)

As a Russian, I love my country, but I want to warn the people who plan to move to my country: If you are running from something in your country and decided to move to Russia - it is incorrect decision (you wont be happy here because we have different problems), but if you move to Russia because you love/like in Russia certain things (style of live, culture, our beliefs - whatever) - then you made a correct decision and in this case I wish good luck
Good advice and sadly most Americans that move to Russia are running from something or another. Which is sad for both the individual and for Russia's taxpayer. They are only going to shift their issues onto Russia and are not really fixing the issues. High cost of living in the United States? Yeah momentary rise in prices due to inflation but incomes rose as well and even if incomes did not rise..........you can increase your skills and get a higher paying job or change the way you invest money if your retired and bring in more money that way. Moving to Russia to fix those issues is not really fixing the issues your just importing the issues with your move and not resolving them. At some point those issues will resurface again, though now your stuck in Russia with them. A lot of people are not really thinking here before they make the decision to move. Also, in regards to changing values in the United States..........very naive to think Russia will not also change in the future and will forever remain static with it's culture. The world does not work that way.
@@tallguy6055 wage increases in American are basically non-existent compared to inflations. It's not what you make it what you keep. Middle class are the new poor.

@@tallguy6055 Простите, что вам пришлось перевести это сообщение. Так как я работаю в специфическом месте в Москве, я каждый день слышу французскую и английскую речь. Треть всех моих коллег - иностранцы из стран запада.

У нас есть проблема с мигрантами из средней азии, которым положено бесплатное образование из-за старого пост-советского образования. И эти мигранты приезжают не из-за консервативных христианских ценностей, как ваши, а из-за экономических причин.

To be honest, I am always surprised by the fact that Americans leave the USA, I always thought that Americans are some of the most patriotic people on this planet. But anyway, welcome. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.
America is being slowly taken over by Bolskevek's as the Left holds the majority influence over all major social institutions. Those who advocate for traditional values or Conservatism are labeled as 'deplorables' by some or domestic terrorists by the current Administration. A good example of the double standard is Jan 6 compared to the 100 days of riots following the death of George Floyd. The latter was a 1000x more severe but hardly is mentioned while Jan 6 is brought up on a daily bases.
The UsA elite hate the Christian’s white people. Everybody can see they work against this group. Look the ilegal immigration. Is to make the country less Christianity.
People used to be patriotic, and some are still, but even among family which always said America was #1, never cared to even leave the country in their life, etc, they've now become disillusioned and think the USA is in decline and is not the best place, that it's been taken over by outsiders and criminal bureaucrats. They have hope Trump will change this, but even have begun to believe it's simply over for the USA.
It’s much simpler, man. Right now Russia has a higher quality of living for ordinary people, than US. It was just opposite for 10 years ago, but things have changed.
что ты несешь? я живу в России и тут нет института семь. русские женщины отвратитеотные, проститутки, агрессивные. двулмчные. какой интститут семьи? а как русских мужчин неавидят. хочется уехать из России из этой помойки мужененавистничества.
Know that we really appreciate newcomers in Russia, if they dont spread hate, lgbt blm propaganda, basically anything that is socially destructive. Russian people think this way: if you are kind and respectful to others, they will be kind and respectful to you in turn.
For Russian, I have been using "Russian Made Easy", the free part and it is working so well, I'm getting ready to get the purchase section. I'm 60 and it is working for me, I have a 40 minute drive home every day so it helps the time pass. I hope to purchase a ranch for sheep, there, in a year or so.
Hello from Russia. Guys, I can explain to you why there is such a difference between Russia and the USA. Russia is a historically formed state. The Russian people created it on their lands, then gradually expanded the territory to the south and east, involving other peoples, but not destroying them, but preserving them. The USA is the opposite case. It is an artificially created state of the Anglo-Saxons on foreign lands. They seized these lands and killed almost all the local inhabitants. And then they built an ideal corporation for making money. Therefore, Russia and the USA have different goals. In Russia, the goal is to improve the life of its people. And in the USA it is to make money for the richest. And everything else is based on this. Why do 99% of people in Russia own real estate, while in the USA the percentage is very low? Because in the USA rich people earn money by renting housing, so they have been lobbying for such a system in construction for many decades, so that it would be very expensive to buy real estate. Or why in Russia there is a washing machine in every house, while in the USA there are common washing rooms? Again, it's about money, this is how they earn money. And so on.
Hello, I lived in Russia for seven years, I love Russia and Russians but your take on the history of the USA, compared to Russia, is totally wrong. Russian history is very similar to America's...a large proud Christian nation with a giant frontier to settle and a destiny to change the World. Russia conquered more land than America and killed far more to do so (far denser population centers back then), which I have no problem with. People own property at high rates in Russia because even the poorest were given a flat by the end of the CCCP. America is not designed to improve the lives of its own people, just make them money, what are you talking about, in America the lives are too improved, obesity and boredom from easy desk work, etc, being huge issues. The natives of America (Indians) today have recovered their numbers to several million, about the same as were in North America before Columbus came. America and Russia need to focus on the vast list of things that unite us, not artificially create cheap divisions. I love Russia and Russians and want America and Russia to once again become friends. Trump maybe can do it.
@@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf The Population of the 500 Nations, of North America was estimated at 40 Million towards the End of the Pre Columbian Period. They have bounced back to 22 Million of today. That includes mixed marriages with Status Indian, according to the Indian Affairs Office in Ottawa 2019, for Canada & USA. "Russia killed far more to do so" No, Russia did not , all Treaty's with the Nenets, Yakuts, Bashkirs, Tartars, Tuvans Mongols and so on, were largely respected, the famines of the early and late 1920's after the Bolshevik Revolution took place in Western Russia. In Siberia there where only famines after the Siberian Japanese occupation, by displaced Families, and far less than in the West of Russia. Anyway I like your general take on Relations, and gave you a Thumbs up.
@@ernstwiltmann6 I agree that Russia has gone to great lengths to preserve its far northern and Siberian tribes, the identities of the Tatars, Udmurts, etc, are still flourishing, but the population centers Russia conquered, to become what it is today, were larger than what was in North America at that time, so there is no way Russia killed less people to form its borders. Again, I have no problem with Yekaterina taking the South from Islam, or Ivan taking Kazan, etc. I do have a problem with falsely painting the foundation of the Russian State as something far more virtuous than that of the Unites States, which is ridiculous thing to even quantify. You are obviously very smart and thank you for the reply.
@@ernstwiltmann6 Again, America and Russia are far more alike than Russia and Europe. I think we share far more in common than not, and I look forward to a future alliance. China wants Siberia after all.
I am 25 and am learning russian for two reasons. One, my fathers grandfather was russian, my fathers grandmother was polish. I am white and not afraid to care about my heritage and lean about the history of my family. Two, yeah i am somewhere between centrist and conservative, leaning more toward conservative. Russia seems to be the only place where, basically speaking, regular straight white americans can be themselves. It is wild how the “popular” opinion in america seems so against the key demographic of the country. I would argue its not actually the popular opinion, its just the promoted opinion and the vast majority who feel this way are suppressed on social media and such
Welcome, pal! If someone told me in my soviet childhood, that american people would like to move to Russia - i rather thought it's insane But for now... I can't and won't judge what the situation in the west countries, sure there are a lots of pro and cons, but honestly here in Russia there are a lots of changes for last 10-20 years, i can't recognize some parts of my own city - Krasnodar, how beautifuil it became. Just google Krasnodar park, to get some view.
>I am white and not afraid to care about my heritage >regular straight white americans can be themselves If you plan on moving into Russia - all this bs exactly is what I recommend you to drop first thing
Americans see Russians every day. In the NHL... They adore them. They love them. But for some reason they think that there are different Russians in Russia. And they don't think about why Russians return to Russia after their contracts end.Americans are amazing people, they believe TV and Hollywood.
We see the hundreds of thousands of Russians who live here and bad mouth Russia. It is not our fault but the government spreads propaganda along with the Russian immigrants. I believe Russia had a purge or exiled thousands in the 1990’s because that’s when they came
... while the rest of the world idolizes and emulates the 'great' 'Murica, so much so that they are willing to risk life and limb at a shot of living there albeit even briefly!

I lived and worked there for years. Neither my values, nor my political views had anything to do with it. Russia offers a much higher overall quality of life. It is clean, safe, and has fantastic green spaces and a mind-blowing array of cultural offerings. People value education, tradition, and manners. That is why I stayed in Russia for five years, and hope to return in the future
Oh, I haven't heard so many kind words about my country for a long time!) Thanks, bro!🤝 Russia is not an ideal country, but if you value good human relations, then you will like it here!) Welcome to all the good people!🖐️❤️
There is no ideal country, I live in the Netherlands which is one of the wealthiest and safest in the world, and this society is sick in its own way. No country is perfect.
I also forgot to say that my fiance fills out a postcard on her own for her taxes. I have to use an accountant each year and my property taxes went up $400 this year so I am honored to pay $9300 in property taxes this year just to the state not even counting the federal Government.. No more I am done with it.
I read your other comment. If I were you, I would consider renting out my house in the USA. In Russia, you will live on this money without denying yourself anything. At the same time, the property in the USA will be preserved.
It's crazy. Our property taxes in Russia are like $150 a year (for 800 sq flat). Insurance is about the that as well. Our small US house in a low tax state is $3k per year.
в России налоги считает федеральная налоговая служба и присылает письмо в октябре все расписано надо оплатить до декабря.в письме есть qr код который ведёт в приложение вашего банка где вы также можете сравнить данные оплаты
In Russia you can just open the Tax Service App and push the “pay” button- all taxes counted and paid (with bank app). In this App you can also make corrections about your property- houses, cars, etc. I have a city apartment (far away from Moscow), and 0,3 acres land with a small house (dacha) , van, moto - my year taxes 35$ plus entrepreneurship taxes 700$ per year, no accountant needs. P.S. Also in my region we can get 2,5 acres per citizen for free from government. So free 5 acres for me and my wife. But this free land is 20 minutes from my city and i’m a little lazy now, already have a dacha and I’m a city-life man )
The claim that Russia had no freedom is absurd and hinges on 2 things as far as I understand - 1) you can not spew rude statements against the government and 2) you can not run with bare naked ass out in the open. So what? What is the point of voting out PMs in Britain every year if nothing changes anyway. And how is UK a free country if you literally have no freedom of movement in the night coz it is so dmn unsafe

My husband is from Russia - came to the US when he was 11. I really appreciate his family values and we’ve talked about moving to Russia. I don’t speak Russian but he and his family still speak it.
1. I never really cared to much about the political aspects about anything until they really started hating men in the West. 2. Weirdly nice. Julia on her channel that always wants to leave Russia that points these things out in a hilarious way. 3. I am use to working 12-14 hours a day with just a bit of time to rest my head. This is accurate. 4. Intelligence. Most folks have no idea how many inventions and modern things like Lasik came out of Russia. 5. Politics is a big one for me. Imagine being a Veteran in America. It's weird. All I'm saying. 6. Quality of life? NO CONTEST. A dream for a retired person or Military retired. 7. *SAFETY* I'm going to just let this one out of the bag. If you look up Eli from Russia, that was about the closest encounter in that one region where everything is Islam based in that town where she was "Arrested" and held and had all her things searched through by police because someone said she was dealing drugs. That is the Closest I have ever seen of the Police acting in this manner inside of Russia. However, that's is like a DAILY occurrence here in America and MUCH more violent. That kind of fear from police is here with EVERYONE everyday. Unlike in other parts of the world where police are looked at on the same level as Fireman, that is NOT the case in America, Australia, & The U.K. Things have gotten to the point where the society is so low trust in the west, they would rather not have any police at all and that is from both sides of the isle if your an American. Both Conservatives and Liberals. Furthermore? Let's just get the elephant out of the room. The West is a DANGEROUS place to raise your children. Not going to go further into it.
I can say that the window of opportunity for moving from Western countries to Russia can close at any moment. When these are large numbers, you can be sure that your governments will close it tightly. They are already making such moves difficult. For example, it is forbidden to transport euros from Europe to Russia. They may also not issue some of the necessary documents. But do not forget that now, due to the difference in currencies between the dollar, euro and ruble, a Westerner can easily buy housing in Russia and open a business. But this dollar bubble can burst at any moment. Even now, not all dollars are accepted for exchange in Russia, but only the latest series in perfect condition. What will happen in 2-3 years is unknown.
@@ГалинаБрагина-п2т it is the European Union which has put a ban on taking Euros from EU to Russia. (Note, I am not saying I agree with this). But you can take Dollars or UK £ although anything over $10,000 cash must be declared on entry to Russia.
There was talks everywhere about Russia selling natural resources and importing food. I remember, how few years ago Russia banned food imports from EU. Everybody was talking about Putin wanting to make own people to starve... EU is importing food worth 280 billions of Euros. Russia for 80 billions. It is Europe depends from food import, not Russia! Russia have everything!
@wumi2419 , yes, you are Right! For example washing machines. For some reason Russia is producing them... For years! In year 2016 (this is peak number) Russia exported about one million of these! RUSSIA EXPORTED product that EU was limiting for exporting it to Russia. Now you know, why Russians laugh when someone is talking about sanctions! BTW, major importer of Russian washing machines that year was (fanfares play) Italy!
@@voldemarvaglaots6690 according to Rosstat, the Russian government statistical service, 60% of Russians spend more than 50% of their income on food. Average male life expectancy is 64 years due to alcoholism and bad medical care. 20% of Russian homes don’t have running water or indoor toilets. Russia has the highest divorce rate in the world. I could go on and on. If you are Russian, you know you were talking nonsense.
I have been to the USA three times, the USA is a very beautiful country with amazing nature, the nature in the USA is very similar to the nature in Russia. If I had the opportunity to live in the US for at least for a while, I would have taken the chance. I would stay in Utah, Montana, Idaho or Florida. The world is big and beautiful. But I am also glad that Americans and Europeans come to our country, welcome. Greetings from Western Siberia, Russia.
One big thing is that people here don't call the cops unless all other options are exhausted. If you misbehave in any way - you'll be warned a dozen times before things escalate. And cops themselves come to DO THEIR JOB. They're no babysitters nor psychiatrists. If they were called for nothing - the person calling will get in trouble (nothing serious but still). Such norm means that people will usually try to settle any conflicts on human-to-human level. And this common sense buffer is something US lacks greatly, where "I'll call the cops" and "I know my rights" is heard on daily basis.
Russia is a hell hole of poverty, despair, and oppression. It has the highest suicide rate in the world other than Soweto. male life expectancy is 64 due to alcoholism, drug addiction, and AIDS. 25% of Russian homes don’t have indoor toilets are running water. 60% of Russian families spend more than 50% of their income on food and must spend the summer growing food on private plots in order to survive. Russia is the most Backwood of any developed country, and in many respects is a Third World country. 12.5 million Russians have left the country since 1991 million have left in the last three years. when the oil runs out so does Russia.
Немецкий философ Вальтер Шубарт О РУССКИХ «Западноевропейский человек рассматривает жизнь, как рабыню, которой он наступил ногой на шею… Он не смотрит с преданностью на небо, а, полный властолюбия, злыми враждебными глазами глядит вниз, на землю. Русский человек одержим не волей к власти, а чувством примирения и любви. Он исполнен не гневом и ненавистью, а глубочайшим доверием к сущности мира. Он видит в человеке не врага, а брата». Англичанин хочет видеть мир - как фабрику, француз - как салон, немец - как казарму, русский, - как церковь. Англичанин хочет добычи, француз - славы, немец - власти, русский - жертвы. Англичанин хочет наживаться от ближнего, француз - импонировать ближнему, немец - командовать ближним, а русский ничего от него не хочет. Он не желает превращать ближнего в свое средство. Это братство русского сердца и русской идеи. И это есть Евангелие будущего. Русский всечеловек есть носитель нового солидаризма. Прометеевский человек уже обречен смерти. Наступает эпоха Иоанновского человека - человека любви и свободы. Таково будущее русского народа. Запад движим неверием, страхом и себялюбием; русская душа движима верою, покоем и братством. Именно поэтому будущее принадлежит России… У европейца - человек человеку волк, всяк за себя, всяк сам себе бог; поэтому все против всех и все против Бога; и героичность его есть очень часто эксцесс себялюбия и гордости - личной или национальной. Это корыстный и хищный героизм. Европеец доволен, когда ему завидуют, и терпеть не может, чтобы его жалели, - это унижение. Поэтому он скрытен, притворяется, чопорен, чванлив и театрально надут - и когда русский это видит, то у него щемит на сердце. Русский подходит к своему ближнему непосредственно и тепло. Он сорадуется и сострадает. Он всегда склонен к расположению и доверию. Быстро сближается. Он естествен, и в этом его шарм. Он прост, интимен, склонен к откровенности, стремится быть полезным. Новый человек Европы не заметил, как он прошел через иудаизацию христианства и утратил и Бога и Христа. В России иное понимание Евангелия. Русские были христианами до своего обращения в христианство. Поэтому христианство распространилось в России не мечом, как у Карла Великого, а само, легко и быстро - избранием. Русское сердце было открыто не Ветхому, а именно Новому Завету. Так оно и осталось; в русской душе есть данные, делающие русского человека самым верным сыном Христа. Вот откуда русская национальная идея: спасение человечества придет из России. Это самая глубокая и самая широкая национальная идея из всех, имеющихся у других народов. Основная социальная идея русского народа такова: общество как церковь, как духовная общность, как свободное многообразие в любовном единстве, как мистическое Тело Христа… И ещё замечательно, что русское безбожие - иное, чем на Западе: оно не холодное сомнение, не безразличие, а огненный вызов Богу, трепещущее кощунство, восстание, жалоба на Бога, может быть, тоска по утерянном Боге. Самое безбожие носит у русских характер религиозного неистовства. И самое понимание Евангелия в России иное, чем на Западе: западное христианство болеет властолюбием - оно насильственно обращает в христианство, это воинственное, милитаризованное учение о Боге, дающем победу; это искажение Евангелия Ветхим Заветом и естественный переход от Ветхого Завета к безбожию… Можно сказать, что европеец - человек дела, а русский - человек души и сердца. И Европа есть страна деловитости, а Россия есть родина души. Душевный человек вчувствуется в ближнего и воспринимает его интуитивно и чутко; ему не важно происхождение, образование, партийность, профессия, титул и орден. И замечательно, когда неевропеец впервые приезжает в Россию, он бывает приятно изумлен и обрадован; а когда русский впервые приезжает в Европу - то он чувствует себя отрезвленным и разочарованным. Кто узнает русского лично - тот полюбит его. Пока европейца знаешь по его заслугам - до тех пор он тебе импонирует. Русский человек, может быть, и плохой делец, но братский чело
Очень интересно. Спасибо за такой комментарий. Подтверждаю слова немецкого философа. Год живу в Европе (Греция, Крит). Хотя здесь еще довольно сильны семейные традиции. Но, вопрос времени. Страна НАТО. Если бы я не вышла замуж за гражданина этой страны, я бы ни за что не уехала из России. И в принципе, в Душе я думаю, что я вернусь на Родину. Не могу представить ситуацию, что умру на чужбине.

I'm am British living in UK and retired and am seriously considering a move to Russia. I visited Russia in May this year and enjoyed every minute. Fabulous country and fabulous people.
Why you know so many facts about my country??😅 I thought foreigners image Russia how scary creepy place 😂 And yes Russia absolutely safe! I’m girl and I can be alone at night and no body touch me (I’m from Yekaterinburg)
The majority in tbe west are spooked by anti Russian propaganda from our govts, but a minority of us do love and appreciate Russia. And people increasingly do not trust our govts to act in our best interests. Our democracy is a fig leaf.
Another thing you didn't mention is a debt-free living. I do not know if that is higher interest rates or more careful approach from Russian banks, but I do not think that Russians are under that much debt pressure. As for the politics or freedoms: I like as one guy noticed that you will always feel most free in a country where you agree with the government's policies. I believe that most Russians are in harmony with their government thus they do not have to self-censor or feel too involved and be passionate about politics.
Люди всех стран, у нас в России много возможностей, много земли и ресурсов. Но у нас очень мало людей. Нам нужны те, кто хочет строить свою жизнь вместе с Россией. У нас есть много програм помогающих осваивать и заселять земли. Многие из нас не предвзяты ни к другим расам, ни к другим народам. Если вы полюбите Россию, Россия полюбит вас.
Russia is a paradise for Western retirees due to the difference in exchange rates. By receiving a pension from the West and living in Russia, retirees can enjoy a very high standard of living (about 4-5 times greater than in their home country). If these retirees, in addition to their pension, earn income from renting their property in the West and spend the funds they receive in Russia, they will live like millionaires. This is not a joking matter. But I don't think this situation will last long. If the economic situation in the United States continues to worsen and the dollar's exchange rate against the ruble continues to fall, then the standard of living for Western pensioners in Russia may also decrease...
The rouble is falling to over 100 roubles to 1 usd. This is going to fuel the migration to Russia as retirees on a us pension or social security will live better than doctors and engineers. Russia needs to target this wealth and hopefully can secure Chinese migration away from the west as well.
@@RoCK3rADDo you know how retirees can collect Social Security and still live in Russia? I have read that a retiree cannot become a Russian citizen or even a permanent resident. I can’t seem to find an answer. Thanks!
I would like to explain why it may be beneficial for Westerners to consider moving to Russia at this time. However, this only applies to those who have their own property. The fact is, the exchange rate between the American dollar (and other western currencies) and the Russian ruble is currently very favorable. The Russian government intentionally lowers the value of the ruble in order to make more of their products and services more affordable for foreign buyers. For example, with $100, you can purchase 5-6 times more goods and services in Russia than in the US. If you sell your home in the US, you could potentially buy 5-6 homes in Russia (which would likely be made of stone, instead of plywood like in the US). This means that after selling your home and moving to Russia, you could purchase a beautiful stone home, a large piece of land, and still have funds left over for your own business endeavors.
Ты заблуждаешься. Не все дома в США стоят по миллиону долларов. Есть дома которые стоят 100 тысяч долларов. А это 10 миллионов рублей. Как раз на один дом в России денег хватит. Не все американцы долларовые миллионеры как ты думаешь. Всего 40% американцев имеют жилье в собственности, а остальные живут в арендованном жилье. Большинство американцев живут от зарплаты до зарплаты и у них кроме автомобиля ничего нет. А подержанный автомобиль в США можно продать примерно за 5 тысяч долларов. Этого хватит только на переезд в Россию и первые несколько месяцев жизни. Не все так прекрасно и радужно в США, как показывают в Голливудских фильмах.
@@StrikeForce-Xну и ты в свою очередь не совсем прав, в России можно приобрести хороший каменный дом и за 500к рублей, да, это будет посёлок городского типа, но всё-же если сравнивать с фанерными домами которые ты описал, это подтверждает слова парня выше, продав один дом низкого качесва в сша ты можешь купить 4-5 домов такого же низкого(к слову не всегда) качества в россии.
@@MrYareyDemiurge Вы давно не смотрели цены. Любой неразваливающийся дом в 15 километрах от города стоит больше двух миллионов. Конечно в 70-100 километров от города, можно купить хороший дом и за 200 тысяч рублей. Но где там работать? А ездить 70 километров каждый день на работу нереально. Конечно в небольших поселках тоже есть какая то работа, но не для иностранца, который не знает русский язык. Иностранцам проще жить неподалеку от большого города, там ему проще найти работу. Я живу в Красноярске и любой дом в 10-15 километрах от города уже больше 2-х миллионов, а хороший дом от 5-ти.
На счет общего закона не совсем правда. Наша страна разделена на разные субъекты и республики могут иметь свою коституцию и собсвенный язык. В то время как края, области, города федерального значиения , автономные области и округа могут иметь свой устав и законодательство. Так что эта система всё же немного напоминает ту, что в сша (в плане различий в законе), однако она не настолько выраженная и вы действительно спокойно можете перемещаться по стране без проблем. Однако всё же советую хотя бы почитать про места, куда вы планируете отправится. Потому что народов у нас много и все разные, никогда не знаешь где можешь случано обидеть кого-то или вести себя неправильно. Всё-таки уважение друг к другу довольно важная вещь.
Этот чел явно просто наслушался пропаганды. Простой пример "Россия имеет сильное влияние церкви". Тем временем Польша в которой запрещены аборты. Сша в которой голосуют за Трампа и ходят в церковь по воскресеньем. Не забывая про то, что в РФ полно поклонников совка - режима с официальной религией атеизм. "Всё девшего" - Да вот только цены в Токио не сильно отличаются от Московских. К слову Японцы чтят императора и храмов на квадратный метр у их больше. Из всего, что он говорит выходит он поедет к на из-за коммуналки и не любви к ЛГБТ. А с учётом противоречий в обществе, правительство останется центристами. То есть в право движение так же вероятно как и в лево.
Все правильно он говорит. США - это Соединенные Государства Америки, где у каждого ГОСУДАРСТВА свои законы, буквально. По сравнению с этим, тот факт что в России где-то запрещено продавать алкоголь после 22:00, а где-то после 23:00 это мелочи. Я жил в разных местах в России, всё везде примерно одинаково по менталитету. Поэтому комментарий у вас честно говоря ни о чем.
@@chu_ri5470 Тебе напомнить про закон о защите чувств верующих? Такого в религиозном США даже представить не могут.

You said a lot of things correctly, but not about prices, especially for apartments. since 2018, the cost of housing HAS DOUBLED + times! It is much more difficult to buy a house now. But now it is more affordable to buy a house 15-30km from the city. About food prices is also a nuance. Prices are rising. For example, today milk in a local producer's shop for some reason has risen in price by 8% The oil rose too. Yes, maybe they will go down after a while. But there are constant price fluctuations. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about stability here. but the fact that no one stably stabs on the street, does not litter, does not shit, and generally the most adequate - yes. We are like that.
Россия широкая и большая её часть находится в средней климатической полосе с 4 сезонами года и коротким летом. Поэтому цены на продукты имеют сезонный характер. например у нас стоимость огурцов летом около 40-50р за кг, осенью 70-80, зимой, 100-120, весной 70 -80 и далее по циклу. сравнивать нужно годовой рост. те же огурцы 5-6 лет назад стоили 30-40 летом. но и зарплаты выросли. когда огурцы были 30-40 средняя зарплата (не та что в официальной статистике, а по личному наблюдению в среде родственников, друзей , знакомых) была 40-50 к . сейчас 60-70 к. и такие сезонные колебания свойственны множеству товаров. например молоко в бутылке. оно не материализуется само собой внутри из ниоткуда. его разливают на крупной ферме недалеко от города. свежее натуральное молоко 70-75р за литр. зимой 80-90. потому что стойла где живут нежные южно альпийские коровы , зимой нужно отапливать, увеличиваются расходы на энергию = увеличивается стоимость продукта. затем с весной цены возвращаются в прежнее значение , если за год не выросли цены на топливо. если цена топлива выросла, цена молока например может увеличится по сравнению с прежним годом в пределах 3-5 рублей за литр. потому что надо привезти корм на ферму, надо привезти пустые бутылки , надо развезти готовую продукцию, на всё нужно топливо. в принципе рост зарплат успевает за ростом цен. почему в России, нефтяном самодостаточном гиганте цены на топливо растут, медленно, но ежегодно и никогда не понижаются , это уже отдельная и сложная тема для разговора.
@@RoCK3rAD How do you imagine it? It is impossible to go to work in the USA and live in Russia at the same time. if you are an IT specialist, you can work remotely, but the monthly fee will be much lower because you are from Russia (It depends on how lucky you are and what your level is). for example, you receive 2000 USD per month, but you can safely and securely transfer this money (now) only through several intermediaries and paying a commission. as a result, you will get about 1000-1300. the same money can be earned remotely in Moscow and St. Petersburg, receiving it without problems and headaches.
What would be the estimated cost to rent a 3-bedroom house, approximately 100 square meters, in a safe, family-friendly, well-connected, middle-class area in a city or neighborhood that is not too expensive? I would like to know the price range in U.S. dollars or euros. Also, what do you consider to be the average monthly cost for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) with a moderate lifestyle, enough to cover basic expenses like housing, transportation, and food without overspending but also not limiting the essentials?

Well, in general it's like that, beyond the individual details. Ah yes, there are also national republics like Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia. The laws of the Russian Federation also apply there, but since these are predominantly muslim republics, they have their own specifics and peculiarities. Europeans are usually not comfortable living there on a permanent basis.
Because of that European can choose any other region and Muslims can choose Muslim regions of Russia. Yeah, also Asians and Buddhist can choose Kalmikia or Buryatiya for living. And Muslim regions of Russia are very different. For example in the Tatarstan or in The Bashkortostan you can wear anything you want, you can find alcohol, pork and a lot of pubs or night clubs. Chechnya and Ingushetia are more Islamic regions. So don't worry and don't afraid and just choose what you want.
We have many more ethnical republics and regions which just like all other russian regions are multinational and multireligious, and where people live in mutual respect, friendship and support. It's all just a regular ordinary thing in Russia.
Сразу видно что человек был в России от силы пару месяцев ну год максимум и дальше Москвы не ездил. В видео много недостоверной информации касаемо свободы слова и нарушений законов, в России как и в США запрещено критиковать власть за это могут хорошо оштрафовать и заблокировать аккаунт, да сперва могут предупредить а потом выписать штраф. Если на улице хулиганят то могут задержать до 15 суток если была драка и были пострадавшие. Касаемо цен, да если сравнивать с ценами в США и играться с курсом валюты то действительно в России дешевле но а если ты живешь в России и работаешь в России то не все так радужно если ты среднестатистический гражданин у которого уходит до 30% зарплаты на еду ,20% на коммунальные услуги это по самым скромным подсчетом с тем условием что есть в наличии собственное жилье а не арендованное, если еще арендовать жилье то от зарплаты остается примерно 5-10% на проезд, аптеку и все остальное. Цены в России каждый месяц повышаются ка и во всем мире. В общем видео сплошная дезинформация. It is immediately obvious that the person was in Russia for a couple of months, a year at most, and has not traveled further than Moscow. The video contains a lot of false information regarding freedom of speech and violations of laws. In Russia, as in the United States, it is forbidden to criticize the government. For this, they can fine you heavily and block your account. Yes, they can first warn you and then issue a fine. If you misbehave on the street, you can be detained for up to 15 days if there was a fight and there were victims. Regarding prices, yes, if you compare them with prices in the United States and play with the exchange rate, then it is indeed cheaper in Russia, but if you live in Russia and work in Russia, then not everything is so rosy. If you are an average citizen who spends up to 30% of your salary on food, 20% on utilities, this is according to the most conservative estimates, provided that you have your own home and not rented, if you also rent housing, then about 5-10% of your salary remains for travel, a pharmacy, and everything else. Prices in Russia are increasing every month, just like in the rest of the world. Overall, the video is full of misinformation.
Всё так, какое-то очень неадекватное понимание курса валют и реальных зарплат в России и США. На прожиточный минимум США в России можно жить как король, а вот наоборот не получится
Вы правы, в России наиболее полная свобода слова, на мой взгляд, но есть неколько важных правил, у нас запрещена пропоганда ЛГБТ и childfree, вы не можете говорить того, что посорит народы, живущие в нашей стране, у нас 180 этносов, и мы должны, и хотим жить мирно вместе, также вы не можете задевать религиозные чувства других людей, у нас живут люди нескольких религий, и мы уважаем другие взгляды на религию, кроме сект и псевдопророков, еще нельзя во время проведения военных действий, делать информационные выпады в сторону нашей армии, это неправильно, можно умеренно и конструктивно покритиковать, но знать меру.
Судя по списку, нет как таковой свободы слова 😅 но по факту свободы слова НЕТ НИГДЕ, в том числе в сша - попробуй выйти с плакатом «я против лгбт», сразу накажут

In Russia "you don't worry about politics, it's none if your business", You make it sound like politics us a burden, bro. Politics is a way to voice your opinion and your values and we get an equal say if we chose to particopate. Something tells me you have been indoctrinated to think more subserviently. Something tells me that your knowledge of american life is a bit limited.
This guy is genuinely a moron. I truly don't even know where to begin and don't feel like writing an essay explaining all the things he got wrong. But yeah, horrible video by someone incredibly sheltered in the west.
You're wrong about the prices. They rising up 10-20% per year now. Housing and rent maybe for less, but still going up. Food got up to 20% rise recently for past 4 months for several categories (butter and meat especially).
No offense to this analysis, but it seems like a 'grass is greener on the other side' perspective. Our conservative values in Russia basically come down to no trans, and restrictions on gay propaganda in schools. Otherwise we have many of the same social problems as you guys (high divorce rates, high substance abuse rates, problems with illegal immigration, extremely low birth rate among ethnic Russians, degreening of cities, depopulation of rural areas, foods being filled with poisonous chemicals because its cheaper, etc.). The problem is we are part of the globalist system and like Western countries have very powerful oligarchs. The concepts many conservatives abhor ('15 minute cities', digital living, including digitsl currency, etc) are being actively pushed and marketed over here. Sorry if I've burst someone's bubble. Just want people not to be disappointed after realizing what's really happening in Russia.
Продукты в России не наполнены ядовитыми химикатами. Наши продукты в общем и целом безопасны для здоровья. Кстати, абсолютно все американцы, которые побывали в России, отмечают этот момент.
This is what I've been saying to anyone conservative or traditional-minded... Nowhere on the planet has escaped the negative effects of globalism. At least, nowhere with any actual infrastructure or economy. And I really wanted to believe Russia was some kind of sanctuary for Westerners who had enough of their own governments turning against them. When I heard about the "asylum for westerners" act that was passed, I was initially excited but then remembered that in this world, there's nothing truly good. Everything has a downside. And God forbid, if it ever does come down to full-out WWIII, I would not want to be in Russia either getting drafted or working in their country while native Russians go to the frontlines.

I posed this question under another comment, but I have a burning question. I’m a 64-year-old (U.S. citizen) woman planning on retiring in Russia in a few years. Is it possible to collect Social Security in Russia? Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Thank you so much.
If you get Russian citizenship, you will receive all pensions and benefits, as well as free medicine. But it is unlikely that work experience in the United States will be taken into account and the pension will be social, now it is about $ 140 per month. Pension for women from the age of 63. Now there is a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship.
Если только у вас американская пенсия, в России нет пособий и поэтому все работают, а пенсионеры получают небольшую пенсию. Квартплата 50$ аренда квартиры 300$ медицина бесплатная. Продукты дешёвые. На 10$ в день будете сыты.
I'm American and I've been living in Russia since 2013. I love Russia. Some of what this UA-camr says is not true, or exaggerated. The divorce rate is high and there is a demographic crisis going on 30 years now. In terms or free speech, there are a lot of things you cannot say. Most of the rest is pretty accurately. Especially about social values. People are very respectful and mild-mannered here.
What you're saying about inflation and immigration is simply not true. I've been here since 2013. Immigration is so out of control and the authorities are finally doing something about it after the massacre at Crocus City Hall. In public kindergartens, there are classes of 40 kids where only 3 or 4 kids are Russian! Also inflation is crazy. Prices have doubles or more since 2022. I literally just came back from Perekrostok. A 5L of water is 159 rubles! I flew to Thailand in 2016 for 60k rubles. The same flight now is 350k rubles! Russia is amazing and I am proud to be a Russian citizen, but do not lie to people and do not conceal the problems we face. We cannot solve problems if we don't admit that they exist!
Since 1st September it has been easier than ever for the citizens of 47 Western allied countries to move to Russia. Just apply for the Shared Values Visa at the Russian Embassy/consulate.

It seems there's more for you to understand about Russia's history, particularly regarding the millions who were forcibly relocated to Siberia. I'd suggest reading up on the harrowing experiences, including accounts of mothers resorting to making soup from deceased children to feed the surviving ones. and why was that in my recommended is what I would like to know.
It's not dangerous at all to visit if you come as a tourist and not to the areas bordering Ukraine, where Ukrainian drones are shot down at night. It may be more difficult to get a visa in today's situation. And it's better to come in spring or summer, winter is not to everyone's liking. There is no discrimination against USA citizens.
It is most certainly not dangerous, they would take an interest in you conversationally if you prove to not be a typically dimwitted North American, but dangerous? Most certainly not.
you really should visit Russia just to overcome all those propaganda bias inspired by your mass media. Honestly, it would not be easy just to come and find your place in Russia since lingua franca here is Russian and not English, and that can be a serious problem. But if you are an IT person - that simplifies things a lot since majority of Russian IT companies are English-speaking. Definitely you will lose in an absolute salary. USD 3000 is a normal salary for a middle+ - senior grade of IT specialist here. But. You can afford - housing, services, fitness, kindergarten, education and so on which is times less expensive here.

i live a month on 100$ lol its 10.000rub.. i mean food for a month. 2$ per month hot water, 5$ cold water, 15-20$ electricity and thats a lot cuz i use computer 24/7 charge phone vape electric stove not gas, gas stove would be 10times cheaper. 1000$ rent... u should be a millionaire XD better take mortgage if u can pay that summ monthly. most of my friends who rents apartments in different cities pay between 150-350$ per month
it is not life cost only - the main reason is that Russia is a Common Sense country - where family and traditional values are considered more important than those... promoted in the Western countries
Living expenses are not cheap here for locals. For example, my mother's pension is 180 dollars per month. Despite of free medical care and owning her property, she cannot afford her medicines. Family values are strong here because it is a way to survive in retirement.
Ваша мать пенсионер. А пенсионеры во всех странах живут не богато. Или вы думаете, что в США пенсионеры живут прекрасно? Средняя пенсия в США 1000-1200 долларов, а этого хватает только на еду и оплату жилья, если оно есть. Если у пенсионера в США, нет своего жилья, то на аренду квартиры ему денег не хватит и придется идти в дом престарелых. А молодые люди в России зарабатывают от 50 тысяч и выше, а это уже 500 долларов и можно жить. Тоже не богато конечно, но не хуже чем в США. Я жил в США, там средняя зарплата 3500 долларов. Аренда обычной двухкомнатной квартиры 2000 долларов, медицинская страховка 250 долларов, страховка на автомобиль 150, интернет 100, телефон 100, электричество 100, бензин 100. Остается 700 долларов. Этого хватает только на самую дешевую еду на месяц. А вы не представляете какая дрянь, самая дешевая еда в США. Взять хотя бы хлеб, состав: мука, вода, соль. А там на этикетке хлеба 5 строчек. Там вся таблица Менделеева. У нас в любой Пятерочке продукты в два раза лучше. У них нормальные продукты называются "Органик" и они не по карману обычным людям. Не нужно судить о США по Голливудским фильмам.
А куда идти российскому пенсионеру, если у него нет своего жилья? Проблемы жителей США меня не волнуют, тоже в курсе, что там не рай земной и деньги на пальмах не растут. Я только написал, что у нас тоже нифига не дёшево, если учитывать уровень доходов и что традиционные ценности это привычный способ выживания, так как нет надежды на государство. Там по крайне мере реальная стабильность (без смены режимов, войн, деноминаций, заморозки вкладов, гиперинфляции обесценивания денег), при которой могут работать накопительные пенсионные программы типа 401к и roth ira.
@@vz5835 Да уж. Там стабильность. Без гиперинфляции, заморозки вкладов, накопительные пенсионные программы, которые никогда не сгорают и т.д. Только один вопрос. Откуда там тогда столько бомжей, если все так хорошо? Или вы реально верите в то, что всем этим людям нравится так жить, валятся на асфальте и ходить в туалет прям там же? Вам эта пропаганда уже мозг выжгла. Надо вам съездить и пожить в этой стабильности, чтоб розовые очки немного сползли с глаз. У нас тоже далеко не рай, но гораздо лучше и проще жить, чем там. В США хорошо было в 70-90е годы, но эти времена давно прошли.
Ваша мать живет в собственной квартире скорее всего , при этом "еле выживая на пенсию" .. А в Штатах многие "благополучные" американские пенсионеры торчат в домах престарелых . Сравните .
I agree with you, I would move to Russia too but my husband has fallen into the rabbit hole, watches CNN and is of jewish Russian descent who holds negative views of the old Soviet Union, whereas I’m pro-Russia, pro their culture, society and Christian beliefs…I’m Christian myself and respect Russia’s strong family values…🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺💪🇷🇺✌️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺💪🇷🇺✌️
Russian here. Im 35 yer old from Novosibirsk. Im a recruiter. A lot of what is said is true, but there are few things you should consider if moving to Russia. First is our wages. The prices are lower than you accustomed to, but the wages also lower. Of course, it depends on what is your profession, what job you do for living but in general lower. Second is price for estate: it is also very high, not like in USA but still unaffordable for most of population totally. Third: it is capitalism here and as such it feells the crysis the same way as in ANY capitalist country so the prices a going up every year conciderably. On the good side of things are our legacy from USSR: free healthcare , free schools (univercity to som degree to but mostly commercial now especialy if univercity is good). Also we are indeed mostly nice and civilazed people, just do not idealize us in that regard when concidering immigration to Russian. Do some thorough research of your own before moving. Concider every goods and bads of such desicion and onely than do move to Russia. Also we got some thery beutifful nature (places like Altay ore Baycal and many others).
I'm Russian, born and live in one of big cities with over 1M citizens. Never seen an American or other foreigner who's native language is English, but many Indians / Africans who studying here. Where are all these Americans? I myself prefer to live in Russia rather than US (never tried though), but honestly, i tend to think that this is all paid propaganda, since i started to notice too many videos from small channels like this about Americans moving to Russia in my youtube feed. You never know where is propaganda these days...
I'm a middle-american Conservative Christian there's a lot of big families that are supporting themselves by their own business and their civilized and don't cause trouble 35 to 40 million of the population I love my country and I hate to see what's happened to it but it used to not be this way it's changed so much in the past 25 years I'm 55 so I know and I don't live in New York or the coastal cities if you haven't visited Middle America you don't know America that well.
How much is the monthly income of the normal Russian outside of the big city of Moscow or St. Petersburg? and how many Rubels are you getting for one US-Dollar right now?
104.10 Russian Ruble and living outside of big cities is most likely cheaper but also have low paying jobs, why move to russia to live in small town anyway
Я конечно не имею права судить, ибо в Штатах никогда не жил, но когда речь зашла об инфляции в РФ и США, выводы автора совсем никак не соотносятся с официальными выкладками всемирного банка и МВФ. Инфляция в России за 2024-ый год была была очень высокой. Аналогично было и в 2022-ом и 2014-ом.
Inflation and currency deval is a chronic issue in Russia. You are correct in saying that IT guys can have a premium life in Russia because of the general deficit for such specialists (many fled during mobilization of 2022) and higher than average salaries since the times when globalization worked. In general there are many opportunities in Russia because war economy created many deficits in domestic specialist "market". But you will have troubles transferring assets in and out of the country because of the sanctions.
Of course, enjoy the benefits and incredible convenience and comfort of living in Russia, because all the costs are on those with a Russian passport. After all, you will not be called up to army. Isn't it the point?
Speaking of which, is it possible for a U.S. citizen on Social Security to still get their benefits? I know that one cannot become a permanent resident or citizen of Russia and still collect Social Security. Do you know how I can find out information about this? I am 64 and am planning on moving to Russia when I retire.
You are making sense on why 'traditional' Russia could appeal to many westerners, in particular Americans. Another reason could be the 'purity' of Russia. Unlike many western countries which are very diverse, perhaps to the breaking point, with all the immigrants from African and central and south American countries seeking a better life, Russia has been exempted from this influx of different racial and ethnic groups for the most part. Not a value judgement, just an observation, in which the appeal is understandable. Good luck everyone!
@@billlewandowski-e9y Russia is not a traditional society and it has 173 ethnic groups. Only 71% of the population of Russia consists of ethnic Russians. The reactionary Russian Orthodox Church was crushed by the Soviets, and it has never recovered its former popularity.
@@billlewandowski-e9y thank you. I already saw it. I closely follow the various channels about Russia, some of which contain brilliant, but false propaganda about the country.

You haven't said about banking system in Russia. Which is probably the most convenient for you could ever find. You can order bank card and it will be delivered to you the next day. And then the most comfortable mobile banking app is at your disposal.
A little bit more information on the drug addiction and alcoholism problem (or non-problem) would be appreciated. The US is a complete mess in this category.
of couse we have, but I for instance have tot seen any person like you told for years, I travel a lot, I did not meet any homeless person for years in our streets. You can watch here on the website video about cities, not Moscow, may be 1000+ km from Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Tula, Grozny. Vladivostok, Petrozavodsk, Uzhnk-Sakhalinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan and etc, just pick the name from the map.
@@leeshole rent is very cheap in Russia, average Russian pay off for a new home during 4 years.during last 3 years Russia has bitten its own historical record for building new homes (including soviet times) And 40% families have 'dacha' (small summer houses with a bit of land), they are also available for rent, many of them are ok to live in winter. Statistics says that Russia has about 10 000 homeless people in sum ,in Moscow(the largest European capital) - 6000, but they live in shelters - 3-4 people in one room... Russia has almost the highest rate of home owner(thanks to the Soviet Union whe to be homeless was outlow)
It's true that there are some folks struggling with addiction and homelessness, but you're pretty unlikely to see them on the streets. Most people who've had a few too many are usually found in bars or nightclubs in the evening or at night.
@@leesholeОни никуда не делись. Есть, просто их стало гораздо меньше. В бомжи ведь попадают не только из за финансовых проблем. Причин много. Они и при СССР были. Сам видел. Но это был личный выбор и своеобразная судьба.
In Russia much more freedom and order now than in any otger countries! It is very different country than 10 years ago.👍 its clean, safe and cheap. We have canadian, australian, enlish german migrants who living in Russia pretty well😉
I can understand Americans who are Orthodox ,conservative and from Russian heritage wanting to live there. It in no way is for everyone. I'm Hispanic and the weather alone is a big no!! Culturally totally different. None of the same traditions, music, art, literature, language, food, Religious holidays. It would be depressing. I live in Sonoma County California a beautiful place. Fantastic weather, charming old Town, surrounded by like minded people who are artists, farmers, friendly people. Great food, breath taking landscape and peaceful.
Каждому свое. Но всё вами описанное есть и в России. А погода - это просто данность. Мы привыкли и любим наши 4 сезона. Что касается культуры и тд. - Россия это целая цивилизация в плане культуры. Без России нет мировой культуры.
All those descriptions are nice about Russia but it's real hard to ignore the fact that over the past 2 decades so many, many Russians have chosen to leave their country for good. It's hard to ignore the fact that Russia is ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world from the bottom to its very top: lots and lots of greed, graft, kickbacks, blackmail, money laundering, intimidation. It's hard to ignore the fact that back in the 90's, Putin allowed a very few elite men to buy for pennies on the dollar much of Russia's natural resource wealth and large infrastructures for pennies on the dollar WITH THE PROVISO THAT HE GET A KICKBACK. All of those kickbacks went to fund his, and long time cronies with lavish lifestyles (mansions on the Rivieras, castles on the Black Sea, yachts, and HUGE bank accounts in the west). It's hard to ignore the fact that retired people are so happy to tell you about the raise in their monthly pensions from $230.00 to $250, when those very few oligarchs and Putin cronies are skimming so much state natural resource wealth right out from under all of the average citizens' noses. It's hard to ignore the fact that there is NO freedom of speech, freedom of the press, transparent elections or fair jury by one's peers. When a dissenter is brave enough to make publicly known the true political state of affairs or attempt to run for an office, that person is quite often shot in Red Square, mysteriously falling from balconies, thrown into a gulag, or poisoned with deadly nerve agents, It's hard to ignore the fact that many Russian citizens have been so brainwashed to the point of going along with INVADING the sovereign nation of the Ukraine, murder many of its citizens, destroy much of the cities in the invaded territory, and kidnap thousands of innocent citizens living there. It's hard to ignore the fact that just like sheep, Russian citizens chose to believe that this war is just due to the pervasive presence of Nazis in the Ukraine when in reality the Ukraine has as its president a Jew!! It's hard to ignore the fact that many average Russian citizens chose not to question and critically consider the actions of their country and acknowledge what they truly are: criminal. It's hard to ignore the fact that Russia has one of the highest rates of alcoholism in the world. You just have to wonder what all that ill gotten, stolen money now in western bank accounts could have done: rehab establishments, clinics, lower income housing, more financial aid to qualified families, tuition assistants, increases in monthly pensions. It's hard to ignore the fact that Putin has spent and continues to spend SO MUCH MONEY FUNDING THIS WAR WITH THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF THE UKRAINE WHEN IT COULD HAVE GONE TO THE AVERAGE RUSSIAN CITIZEN in the form of better roads, more schools, more teachers, more scientists, more IT experts, more hospitals, more colleges, more money put toward environmental cleanup........... YES! THE USA HAS MANY SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL PROBLEMS AND ISSUES BUT IT IS RANKED NUMBER ONE WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION. . SO MANY, MANY PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE HERE, WHERE YOU DON'T GO TO JAIL FOR DEMONSTRATING OR DEFAMING ITS COUNTRY'S LEADERS, WHERE YOU CAN WORK HARD AND HAVE A BETTER LIFE AND WHERE YOU CAN RUN FOR AN OFFICE AND DO YOUR UTMOST TO MAKE IT BETTER. YES, THE USA HAS PROPAGANDA BUT IT ALSO HAS AVAILABLE FOR ANY INTERESTED CITIZEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SURF THE NET, READ A NEWSPAPER OR TURN ON THE TV AND FIND POINTS OF VIEW FROM ALL SIDES. ANYONE CAN GET ON UA-cam, ESTABLISH A CHANEL AND TELL THE LISTENERS HIS/HER POINT OF VIEW. YES THE USA HAS PROBLEMS WITHIN ITS LEGAL SYSTEM; BUT THE UNDERLYING PILLARS OF LAW HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND THERE IS IN PLACE A SYSTEM THAT RECTIFYS/MODIFIES/CREATES LAWS WHEN CHANGE IS MANDATED....EVEN IF IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME. YES, THE USA HAS MUCH WEALTH IN MANY FORMS. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST GENEROUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. FROM THE VERY TOP TO THE AVERAGE CITIZEN. AMERICANS DONATE TO MANY CAUSES ALL AROUND THE WORLD. YES THE USA HAS NAZIS AMONG ITS POPULATION. THIS COUNTRY TOLERATES THEM ALONG WITH RIGHT WING NUTS, LGBTQS,, COMMUNISTS, RELIGIOUS CULTS,. THEY END UP ON THE FRINGES OF SOCIETY. IF THEY OBEY THE RULES, THEY ARE NOT PUT IN SOME GULAG SYSTEM. IT'S CALLED TOLERANCE AND IT'S ALLOWED HERE. YES THE AMERICAN FORM OF DEMOCRACY IS "MESSY." THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS ADMINISTERED BY HUMANS, WHO ONE WAY OR ANOTHER MAKE MISTAKES OR TRY TO CHEAT THE SYSTEM. NOT ALL CRIMINALS ARE CAUGHT. NOT ALL GREED, GRAFT AND CORRUPTION IS EXPOSED. BUT WHEN IT IS , THE SYSTEM DOES ITS BEST TO MAKE IT KNOWN AND DEALT WITH.... SOMETIMES FOR THE GOOD AND SOMETIMES NOT. BUT IN THE END, THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS MOVES FORWARD WITH THE UNDERLYING GOAL OF UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION AND ALL OF ITS LAWS, RULES AND RIGHTS. YES THE USA HAS INVADED OTHER COUNTRIES. IT DID SO TO END WARS: JAPAN AND KOREA.... AND LOOK AT THOSE COUNTRIES NOW!!! IN VIETNAM,, JUST IMAGINE WHAT THIS COUNTRY MIGHT BE LIKE TODAY HAD OUR COUNTRY SUCCEEDED. IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN ANOTHER ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE JUST LIKE JAPAN AND KOREA. MANY AMERICANS EXPOSE THE ILLEGALITY OF INVADING IRAQ AND THE RECENT DISASTROUS EXIT FROM AFGHANISTAN. BUT IN THE USA, ANY AMERICAN CAN STATE PUBLICLY HIS/HER POINT OF VIEW REGARDING THESE TWO INVASIONS AND WARS AND NOT END UP IN JAIL. I'LL TAKE THE USA AND ALL OF ITS MANY PROBLEMS OVER ANY LIFE IN RUSSIA WHERE THE NEWS IS ALL PROPAGANDA, CORRUPTION IS UBIQUITOUS, AND WHERE A VERY, VERY FOREIGNERS/IMMIGRANTS CHOSE TO CALL HOME ..... AFTER ALL, WHO WANTS TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU MIGHT SAY OR DO WHEN IT COULD LEAD TO TRUMPED UP CHARGES AND A GULAG.
Getting married - yes, sticking together for the rest of your life - no so much. Divorce rates were pretty high in the Soviet times and I think they remained so. But I do not necessarily see that as something going against family values. That is just life.
I've been to Russia a few times. I no longer live in the USA. Left 7 years ago. I love living in Mexico now. If you want to leave the USA, then do it whenever it suits you. The world in a big place.
Any reason you chose Mexico now? I'm considering moving there or setting up a home base there as the residency is easy and the location is good, but I'm not a big fan of the cities I've been to. Thinking of trying out life in Chiapas or other less developed states.
to move to russia, I was told you need to know russian fluently, I have a girl we been long distance relationship for almost 8 months and I really want to go there, Your thought should I just go? Russia has free healthcare to lol
Brother, you nailed it about Russia. Im a 62 year old man, retired army, retired Lutheran Pastor, My fiancé is a 57 year old Doctor who had been a Captain in the Soviet Army. When I traveled to Yekaterinburg where she lives I could not believe how clean the city was. very very little graffiti, no wierdos on the street, but the safety, I could not believe it. I have a conceal and carry weapon license for my state. my pistol goes wherever I go and most men at my Church were also armed. My Fiance and I would walk about a mile through the forest to get to Church and there were young women walking alone in this place. I asked my Fiance, how can this be, but she said, don't worry nothing will happen to them. For a Westerner you are also correct about the groceries, We filled up a grocery basket at the store and it was about $85. In the US this would have cost me $380 to $400. I looked at her gas and electric bill for the month and I asked, is this for a day. I'm not overexaggerating, her gas was about $& and her electric was about $15 for a month. No cost for water. In my town my water bill alone is $250 a month, my gas $85 a month, my electric depending on the month will be between $230 to $550 a month and garbage is $45 a month. But the food tasted so different. I took me a month to get used to it. I was not used to food that was not artificially colored and full of hormones and chemicals. The only thing I do not like, and this is because of the sanctions, but I have to physically carry my money into the country. I could go on and on but I am going back this December to get married, my furniture is already sold, then I will come back and sell my house which has doubled in price in 7 years. I am going to the land where the only place I see a rainbow is in the sky and not flying above my own countries flag. You nailed it brother. .
"and most men at my Church were also armed" You, good sir, have no idea how truly MERICAN that sounds now.
Best of luck to you my friend. Enjoy your life
In the USSR, gas, water, and electricity were almost free. Education, medicine, and housing were definitely free and of a high standard. The state paid for everything. That's what I call a superpower. It was a social state of the highest order. There was nothing even close to this in terms of social security and social protection in other countries. Russians obviously remember this well and know that it is possible in principle. And Western people have been accustomed for centuries to a model where you have to pay for everything yourself, and they have been throwing mud at the USSR all the time.

The people who are moving to Russia are smart. They are getting a better value for the buck, and it's a beautiful place. Russia is not a perfect country, and neither one exists. People need to look beyond the mainstream media narrative, do their own research, and go see it for themselves. This UA-camr, not sure of his name, is right.
the real problem is the language though - substantially more difficult to learn compared to english
@@Freeliner75 Yes, English is easy, that't why it became so widespread!😂❤
One piece of advice in learning Russian or most any language is build a vocabulary. Most people will know what you are talking about. Grammer and other norms related to comprehension will eventually become apparent.
@@Freeliner75 If we imagine a situation where Asia becomes more attractive than Europe economically, in terms of security, etc. (which seems to be the case now) - the question of choosing a place to live becomes acute for a European. I don't think Russian is harder to learn than Chinese, for example. But I could be wrong.
@@End0fst0ry You are absolutely right. The more so that a Russian sentence can have ANY word order. And many English speakers who moved to Russia have already studied Russian, some of them even without attending special courses.
I love most their Patriotism, Traditions, sense of History with love and passion. Hauntingly beautiful music, Gregorian chorals, Ensembles, Orchestra, Folk Songs, War Songs and yes also Revolutionary music that is buynd to move you deeply. So are the Russian and Soviet movies which carry high humanistic values. And off course about everything you just praised. Never seen so many beutifully feminine dressed Women in any other county. May Father Moroz Bless you soon.
please, Gregorian chorals are Catholic, we have our own Orthodox church with Greek based tradition in singing initially, then Italian and German secular music influences, then purely Russian classical tradition developed
@@ЕваХаритонова-ц6л "Gregorian chorals are Catholic" That' s how superficial western reporters have changed that into ALL Church chorals, relted to Russia, with a wide Brush. So pardon my ignorance not looking deeper into that chorals topic.
There so called Patriotism is more like Imperialism and they lost there true Christian traditions right after the Soviet revolution there Neo Pagans and their history is cool but it's cheap they tricked other nations for most of there history the Russian Empire for example was a Knock off or replacement of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth which was a power for 300 years

Hello! I’m Russian who lives in Los Angeles, CA, who been caught by propaganda of the liberal beliefs and moved to the US almost 4 years ago. Now I’ll get some things done and going to return back to Russia. It was an incredible experience living in the US and learnt English from the scratch by myself but also I got that I won’t never find a level of comfort and safety for my family here but in Russia. There’s no such big cities in the US like Moscow, Sankt-Petersburg, Kazan, Perm, Yekaterinburg and so on with even close level of safety like in Russia. Also service is much worser here in the US, unfortunately. Even compared to my small and modest town in Russia. Even bars, cafes and restaurants I cannot find anything similar by quality here in the US although I traveled a lot interstate. I was dreaming about another US. Sorry guys, but that is just my truth, don’t want to insult anyone. Welcome to Russia, then! There you are always safe even if someone doesn’t smile you like. :)

As a Russian, I love my country, but I want to warn the people who plan to move to my country: If you are running from something in your country and decided to move to Russia - it is incorrect decision (you wont be happy here because we have different problems), but if you move to Russia because you love/like in Russia certain things (style of live, culture, our beliefs - whatever) - then you made a correct decision and in this case I wish good luck
Good advice and sadly most Americans that move to Russia are running from something or another. Which is sad for both the individual and for Russia's taxpayer. They are only going to shift their issues onto Russia and are not really fixing the issues. High cost of living in the United States? Yeah momentary rise in prices due to inflation but incomes rose as well and even if incomes did not rise..........you can increase your skills and get a higher paying job or change the way you invest money if your retired and bring in more money that way. Moving to Russia to fix those issues is not really fixing the issues your just importing the issues with your move and not resolving them. At some point those issues will resurface again, though now your stuck in Russia with them. A lot of people are not really thinking here before they make the decision to move. Also, in regards to changing values in the United States..........very naive to think Russia will not also change in the future and will forever remain static with it's culture. The world does not work that way.

To be honest, I am always surprised by the fact that Americans leave the USA, I always thought that Americans are some of the most patriotic people on this planet. But anyway, welcome. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.
America is being slowly taken over by Bolskevek's as the Left holds the majority influence over all major social institutions. Those who advocate for traditional values or Conservatism are labeled as 'deplorables' by some or domestic terrorists by the current Administration. A good example of the double standard is Jan 6 compared to the 100 days of riots following the death of George Floyd. The latter was a 1000x more severe but hardly is mentioned while Jan 6 is brought up on a daily bases.
It is a different country than the one I grew up.
The UsA elite hate the Christian’s white people. Everybody can see they work against this group. Look the ilegal immigration. Is to make the country less Christianity.
People used to be patriotic, and some are still, but even among family which always said America was #1, never cared to even leave the country in their life, etc, they've now become disillusioned and think the USA is in decline and is not the best place, that it's been taken over by outsiders and criminal bureaucrats.

Really, you too dude?! I'm originally from California and just moved to Kazan. Where are you?
Know that we really appreciate newcomers in Russia, if they dont spread hate, lgbt blm propaganda, basically anything that is socially destructive.
Russian people think this way: if you are kind and respectful to others, they will be kind and respectful to you in turn.
Do you know any Russian? This is my biggest problem that, I only know English. How are you getting alone with language?
For Russian, I have been using "Russian Made Easy", the free part and it is working so well, I'm getting ready to get the purchase section. I'm 60 and it is working for me, I have a 40 minute drive home every day so it helps the time pass.

Hello from Russia. Guys, I can explain to you why there is such a difference between Russia and the USA.
Russia is a historically formed state. The Russian people created it on their lands, then gradually expanded the territory to the south and east, involving other peoples, but not destroying them, but preserving them.
The USA is the opposite case. It is an artificially created state of the Anglo-Saxons on foreign lands. They seized these lands and killed almost all the local inhabitants. And then they built an ideal corporation for making money.
Therefore, Russia and the USA have different goals. In Russia, the goal is to improve the life of its people. And in the USA it is to make money for the richest. And everything else is based on this.
Why do 99% of people in Russia own real estate, while in the USA the percentage is very low? Because in the USA rich people earn money by renting housing, so they have been lobbying for such a system in construction for many decades, so that it would be very expensive to buy real estate. Or why in Russia there is a washing machine in every house, while in the USA there are common washing rooms? Again, it's about money, this is how they earn money. And so on.
I am speechless….you are correct, start to finish!!!
The truth will set you free….
Hello, I lived in Russia for seven years, I love Russia and Russians but your take on the history of the USA, compared to Russia, is totally wrong. Russian history is very similar to America's...a large proud Christian nation with a giant frontier to settle and a destiny to change the World. Russia conquered more land than America and killed far more to do so (far denser population centers back then), which I have no problem with. People own property at high rates in Russia because even the poorest were given a flat by the end of the CCCP. America is not designed to improve the lives of its own people, just make them money, what are you talking about, in America the lives are too improved, obesity and boredom from easy desk work, etc, being huge issues. The natives of America (Indians) today have recovered their numbers to several million, about the same as were in North America before Columbus came. America and Russia need to focus on the vast list of things that unite us, not artificially create cheap divisions. I love Russia and Russians and want America and Russia to once again become friends. Trump maybe can do it.
@@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf The Population of the 500 Nations, of North America was estimated at 40 Million towards the End of the Pre Columbian Period. They have bounced back to 22 Million of today. That includes mixed marriages with Status Indian, according to the Indian Affairs Office in Ottawa 2019, for Canada & USA.
"Russia killed far more to do so" No, Russia did not , all Treaty's with the Nenets, Yakuts, Bashkirs, Tartars, Tuvans Mongols and so on, were largely respected, the famines of the early and late 1920's after the Bolshevik Revolution took place in Western Russia. In Siberia there where only famines after the Siberian Japanese occupation, by displaced Families, and far less than in the West of Russia. Anyway I like your general take on Relations, and gave you a Thumbs up.
@@ernstwiltmann6 I agree that Russia has gone to great lengths to preserve its far northern and Siberian tribes, the identities of the Tatars, Udmurts, etc, are still flourishing, but the population centers Russia conquered, to become what it is today, were larger than what was in North America at that time, so there is no way Russia killed less people to form its borders. Again, I have no problem with Yekaterina taking the South from Islam, or Ivan taking Kazan, etc. I do have a problem with falsely painting the foundation of the Russian State as something far more virtuous than that of the Unites States, which is ridiculous thing to even quantify. You are obviously very smart and thank you for the reply.
@@ernstwiltmann6 Again, America and Russia are far more alike than Russia and Europe. I think we share far more in common than not, and I look forward to a future alliance. China wants Siberia after all.

I read your other comment. If I were you, I would consider renting out my house in the USA. In Russia, you will live on this money without denying yourself anything. At the same time, the property in the USA will be preserved.
It's crazy. Our property taxes in Russia are like $150 a year (for 800 sq flat). Insurance is about the that as well. Our small US house in a low tax state is $3k per year.
@cashcatz but what do you MAKE in Russia.
в России налоги считает федеральная налоговая служба и присылает письмо в октябре все расписано надо оплатить до декабря.в письме есть qr код который ведёт в приложение вашего банка где вы также можете сравнить данные оплаты
In Russia you can just open the Tax Service App and push the “pay” button- all taxes counted and paid (with bank app). In this App you can also make corrections about your property- houses, cars, etc.
I have a city apartment (far away from Moscow), and 0,3 acres land with a small house (dacha) , van, moto - my year taxes 35$ plus entrepreneurship taxes 700$ per year, no accountant needs.
P.S. Also in my region we can get 2,5 acres per citizen for free from government. So free 5 acres for me and my wife. But this free land is 20 minutes from my city and i’m a little lazy now, already have a dacha and I’m a city-life man )
The claim that Russia had no freedom is absurd and hinges on 2 things as far as I understand - 1) you can not spew rude statements against the government and 2) you can not run with bare naked ass out in the open.

And how is UK a free country if you literally have no freedom of movement in the night coz it is so dmn unsafe

If you look up Eli from Russia, that was about the closest encounter in that one region where everything is Islam based in that town where she was "Arrested" and held and had all her things searched through by police because someone said she was dealing drugs.

However, that's is like a DAILY occurrence here in America and MUCH more violent.
That kind of fear from police is here with EVERYONE everyday.
Unlike in other parts of the world where police are looked at on the same level as Fireman, that is NOT the case in America, Australia, & The U.K.

I can say that the window of opportunity for moving from Western countries to Russia can close at any moment. When these are large numbers, you can be sure that your governments will close it tightly. They are already making such moves difficult. For example, it is forbidden to transport euros from Europe to Russia. They may also not issue some of the necessary documents. But do not forget that now, due to the difference in currencies between the dollar, euro and ruble, a Westerner can easily buy housing in Russia and open a business. But this dollar bubble can burst at any moment. Even now, not all dollars are accepted for exchange in Russia, but only the latest series in perfect condition. What will happen in 2-3 years is unknown.

One big thing is that people here don't call the cops unless all other options are exhausted. If you misbehave in any way - you'll be warned a dozen times before things escalate. And cops themselves come to DO THEIR JOB. They're no babysitters nor psychiatrists. If they were called for nothing - the person calling will get in trouble (nothing serious but still). Such norm means that people will usually try to settle any conflicts on human-to-human level. And this common sense buffer is something US lacks greatly, where "I'll call the cops" and "I know my rights" is heard on daily basis.

Немецкий философ Вальтер Шубарт О РУССКИХ
«Западноевропейский человек рассматривает жизнь, как рабыню, которой он наступил ногой на шею… Он не смотрит с преданностью на небо, а, полный властолюбия, злыми враждебными глазами глядит вниз, на землю. Русский человек одержим не волей к власти, а чувством примирения и любви. Он исполнен не гневом и ненавистью, а глубочайшим доверием к сущности мира. Он видит в человеке не врага, а брата».
Англичанин хочет видеть мир - как фабрику, француз - как салон, немец - как казарму, русский, - как церковь. Англичанин хочет добычи, француз - славы, немец - власти, русский - жертвы.
Англичанин хочет наживаться от ближнего, француз - импонировать ближнему, немец - командовать ближним, а русский ничего от него не хочет. Он не желает превращать ближнего в свое средство. Это братство русского сердца и русской идеи. И это есть Евангелие будущего. Русский всечеловек есть носитель нового солидаризма. Прометеевский человек уже обречен смерти. Наступает эпоха Иоанновского человека - человека любви и свободы. Таково будущее русского народа.
Запад движим неверием, страхом и себялюбием; русская душа движима верою, покоем и братством. Именно поэтому будущее принадлежит России…
У европейца - человек человеку волк, всяк за себя, всяк сам себе бог; поэтому все против всех и все против Бога; и героичность его есть очень часто эксцесс себялюбия и гордости - личной или национальной. Это корыстный и хищный героизм. Европеец доволен, когда ему завидуют, и терпеть не может, чтобы его жалели, - это унижение. Поэтому он скрытен, притворяется, чопорен, чванлив и театрально надут - и когда русский это видит, то у него щемит на сердце.
Русский подходит к своему ближнему непосредственно и тепло. Он сорадуется и сострадает. Он всегда склонен к расположению и доверию. Быстро сближается. Он естествен, и в этом его шарм. Он прост, интимен, склонен к откровенности, стремится быть полезным.
Новый человек Европы не заметил, как он прошел через иудаизацию христианства и утратил и Бога и Христа. В России иное понимание Евангелия.
Русские были христианами до своего обращения в христианство. Поэтому христианство распространилось в России не мечом, как у Карла Великого, а само, легко и быстро - избранием.
Русское сердце было открыто не Ветхому, а именно Новому Завету. Так оно и осталось; в русской душе есть данные, делающие русского человека самым верным сыном Христа.
Вот откуда русская национальная идея: спасение человечества придет из России. Это самая глубокая и самая широкая национальная идея из всех, имеющихся у других народов.
Основная социальная идея русского народа такова: общество как церковь, как духовная общность, как свободное многообразие в любовном единстве, как мистическое Тело Христа…
И ещё замечательно, что русское безбожие - иное, чем на Западе: оно не холодное сомнение, не безразличие, а огненный вызов Богу, трепещущее кощунство, восстание, жалоба на Бога, может быть, тоска по утерянном Боге. Самое безбожие носит у русских характер религиозного неистовства.
И самое понимание Евангелия в России иное, чем на Западе: западное христианство болеет властолюбием - оно насильственно обращает в христианство, это воинственное, милитаризованное учение о Боге, дающем победу; это искажение Евангелия Ветхим Заветом и естественный переход от Ветхого Завета к безбожию…
Можно сказать, что европеец - человек дела, а русский - человек души и сердца. И Европа есть страна деловитости, а Россия есть родина души.
Душевный человек вчувствуется в ближнего и воспринимает его интуитивно и чутко; ему не важно происхождение, образование, партийность, профессия, титул и орден.
И замечательно, когда неевропеец впервые приезжает в Россию, он бывает приятно изумлен и обрадован; а когда русский впервые приезжает в Европу - то он чувствует себя отрезвленным и разочарованным.
Кто узнает русского лично - тот полюбит его. Пока европейца знаешь по его заслугам - до тех пор он тебе импонирует.
Русский человек, может быть, и плохой делец, но братский чело
про распространение христианства... честно сомневаюсь, что это легко далось. И еще жалко артифактов предыдущих верований, которые были уничтожены
Согласен. После прихода христианства мы потеряли довольно большой пласт народной культуры 😒
Очень интересно. Спасибо за такой комментарий. Подтверждаю слова немецкого философа. Год живу в Европе (Греция, Крит). Хотя здесь еще довольно сильны семейные традиции. Но, вопрос времени.

Another thing you didn't mention is a debt-free living. I do not know if that is higher interest rates or more careful approach from Russian banks, but I do not think that Russians are under that much debt pressure.
As for the politics or freedoms: I like as one guy noticed that you will always feel most free in a country where you agree with the government's policies. I believe that most Russians are in harmony with their government thus they do not have to self-censor or feel too involved and be passionate about politics.

Russia is a paradise for Western retirees due to the difference in exchange rates. By receiving a pension from the West and living in Russia, retirees can enjoy a very high standard of living (about 4-5 times greater than in their home country). If these retirees, in addition to their pension, earn income from renting their property in the West and spend the funds they receive in Russia, they will live like millionaires. This is not a joking matter. But I don't think this situation will last long. If the economic situation in the United States continues to worsen and the dollar's exchange rate against the ruble continues to fall, then the standard of living for Western pensioners in Russia may also decrease...
The rouble is falling to over 100 roubles to 1 usd. This is going to fuel the migration to Russia as retirees on a us pension or social security will live better than doctors and engineers. Russia needs to target this wealth and hopefully can secure Chinese migration away from the west as well.
Not even that, the big thing is the US is going to cancel all payments to anyone living in Russia.

I would like to explain why it may be beneficial for Westerners to consider moving to Russia at this time. However, this only applies to those who have their own property. The fact is, the exchange rate between the American dollar (and other western currencies) and the Russian ruble is currently very favorable. The Russian government intentionally lowers the value of the ruble in order to make more of their products and services more affordable for foreign buyers. For example, with $100, you can purchase 5-6 times more goods and services in Russia than in the US. If you sell your home in the US, you could potentially buy 5-6 homes in Russia (which would likely be made of stone, instead of plywood like in the US). This means that after selling your home and moving to Russia, you could purchase a beautiful stone home, a large piece of land, and still have funds left over for your own business endeavors.
Ты заблуждаешься. Не все дома в США стоят по миллиону долларов. Есть дома которые стоят 100 тысяч долларов. А это 10 миллионов рублей. Как раз на один дом в России денег хватит. Не все американцы долларовые миллионеры как ты думаешь. Всего 40% американцев имеют жилье в собственности, а остальные живут в арендованном жилье. Большинство американцев живут от зарплаты до зарплаты и у них кроме автомобиля ничего нет. А подержанный автомобиль в США можно продать примерно за 5 тысяч долларов. Этого хватит только на переезд в Россию и первые несколько месяцев жизни. Не все так прекрасно и радужно в США, как показывают в Голливудских фильмах.

На счет общего закона не совсем правда. Наша страна разделена на разные субъекты и республики могут иметь свою коституцию и собсвенный язык. В то время как края, области, города федерального значиения , автономные области и округа могут иметь свой устав и законодательство. Так что эта система всё же немного напоминает ту, что в сша (в плане различий в законе), однако она не настолько выраженная и вы действительно спокойно можете перемещаться по стране без проблем. Однако всё же советую хотя бы почитать про места, куда вы планируете отправится. Потому что народов у нас много и все разные, никогда не знаешь где можешь случано обидеть кого-то или вести себя неправильно. Всё-таки уважение друг к другу довольно важная вещь.
Этот чел явно просто наслушался пропаганды. Простой пример "Россия имеет сильное влияние церкви". Тем временем Польша в которой запрещены аборты.

You said a lot of things correctly, but not about prices, especially for apartments.
since 2018, the cost of housing HAS DOUBLED + times!
It is much more difficult to buy a house now.
But now it is more affordable to buy a house 15-30km from the city.
About food prices is also a nuance. Prices are rising. For example, today milk in a local producer's shop for some reason has risen in price by 8%
The oil rose too.
Yes, maybe they will go down after a while. But there are constant price fluctuations. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about stability here.
but the fact that no one stably stabs on the street, does not litter, does not shit, and generally the most adequate - yes. We are like that.
Price is no factor because Americans have a lot more disposable money than the Russians due to exchange rate currently being 100 roubles to 1 usd
Россия широкая и большая её часть находится в средней климатической полосе с 4 сезонами года и коротким летом. Поэтому цены на продукты имеют сезонный характер. например у нас стоимость огурцов летом около 40-50р за кг, осенью 70-80, зимой, 100-120, весной 70 -80 и далее по циклу. сравнивать нужно годовой рост. те же огурцы 5-6 лет назад стоили 30-40 летом. но и зарплаты выросли. когда огурцы были 30-40 средняя зарплата (не та что в официальной статистике, а по личному наблюдению в среде родственников, друзей , знакомых) была 40-50 к . сейчас 60-70 к.
и такие сезонные колебания свойственны множеству товаров. например молоко в бутылке. оно не материализуется само собой внутри из ниоткуда. его разливают на крупной ферме недалеко от города. свежее натуральное молоко 70-75р за литр. зимой 80-90. потому что стойла где живут нежные южно альпийские коровы , зимой нужно отапливать, увеличиваются расходы на энергию = увеличивается стоимость продукта. затем с весной цены возвращаются в прежнее значение , если за год не выросли цены на топливо. если цена топлива выросла, цена молока например может увеличится по сравнению с прежним годом в пределах 3-5 рублей за литр. потому что надо привезти корм на ферму, надо привезти пустые бутылки , надо развезти готовую продукцию, на всё нужно топливо. в принципе рост зарплат успевает за ростом цен. почему в России, нефтяном самодостаточном гиганте цены на топливо растут, медленно, но ежегодно и никогда не понижаются , это уже отдельная и сложная тема для разговора.
@@RoCK3rAD How do you imagine it? It is impossible to go to work in the USA and live in Russia at the same time. if you are an IT specialist, you can work remotely, but the monthly fee will be much lower because you are from Russia (It depends on how lucky you are and what your level is). for example, you receive 2000 USD per month, but you can safely and securely transfer this money (now) only through several intermediaries and paying a commission. as a result, you will get about 1000-1300. the same money can be earned remotely in Moscow and St. Petersburg, receiving it without problems and headaches.

Well, in general it's like that, beyond the individual details. Ah yes, there are also national republics like Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia. The laws of the Russian Federation also apply there, but since these are predominantly muslim republics, they have their own specifics and peculiarities. Europeans are usually not comfortable living there on a permanent basis.
Because of that European can choose any other region and Muslims can choose Muslim regions of Russia. Yeah, also Asians and Buddhist can choose Kalmikia or Buryatiya for living. And Muslim regions of Russia are very different. For example in the Tatarstan or in The Bashkortostan you can wear anything you want, you can find alcohol, pork and a lot of pubs or night clubs. Chechnya and Ingushetia are more Islamic regions. So don't worry and don't afraid and just choose what you want.
We have many more ethnical republics and regions which just like all other russian regions are multinational and multireligious, and where people live in mutual respect, friendship and support. It's all just a regular ordinary thing in Russia.
Сразу видно что человек был в России от силы пару месяцев ну год максимум и дальше Москвы не ездил.
В видео много недостоверной информации касаемо свободы слова и нарушений законов, в России как и в США запрещено критиковать власть за это могут хорошо оштрафовать и заблокировать аккаунт, да сперва могут предупредить а потом выписать штраф. Если на улице хулиганят то могут задержать до 15 суток если была драка и были пострадавшие.
Касаемо цен, да если сравнивать с ценами в США и играться с курсом валюты то действительно в России дешевле но а если ты живешь в России и работаешь в России то не все так радужно если ты среднестатистический гражданин у которого уходит до 30% зарплаты на еду ,20% на коммунальные услуги это по самым скромным подсчетом с тем условием что есть в наличии собственное жилье а не арендованное, если еще арендовать жилье то от зарплаты остается примерно 5-10% на проезд, аптеку и все остальное. Цены в России каждый месяц повышаются ка и во всем мире. В общем видео сплошная дезинформация.
It is immediately obvious that the person was in Russia for a couple of months, a year at most, and has not traveled further than Moscow.
The video contains a lot of false information regarding freedom of speech and violations of laws. In Russia, as in the United States, it is forbidden to criticize the government. For this, they can fine you heavily and block your account. Yes, they can first warn you and then issue a fine. If you misbehave on the street, you can be detained for up to 15 days if there was a fight and there were victims.
Regarding prices, yes, if you compare them with prices in the United States and play with the exchange rate, then it is indeed cheaper in Russia, but if you live in Russia and work in Russia, then not everything is so rosy. If you are an average citizen who spends up to 30% of your salary on food, 20% on utilities, this is according to the most conservative estimates, provided that you have your own home and not rented, if you also rent housing, then about 5-10% of your salary remains for travel, a pharmacy, and everything else. Prices in Russia are increasing every month, just like in the rest of the world. Overall, the video is full of misinformation.

No offense to this analysis, but it seems like a 'grass is greener on the other side' perspective. Our conservative values in Russia basically come down to no trans, and restrictions on gay propaganda in schools. Otherwise we have many of the same social problems as you guys (high divorce rates, high substance abuse rates, problems with illegal immigration, extremely low birth rate among ethnic Russians, degreening of cities, depopulation of rural areas, foods being filled with poisonous chemicals because its cheaper, etc.). The problem is we are part of the globalist system and like Western countries have very powerful oligarchs. The concepts many conservatives abhor ('15 minute cities', digital living, including digitsl currency, etc) are being actively pushed and marketed over here.
Sorry if I've burst someone's bubble. Just want people not to be disappointed after realizing what's really happening in Russia.

If you get Russian citizenship, you will receive all pensions and benefits, as well as free medicine. But it is unlikely that work experience in the United States will be taken into account and the pension will be social, now it is about $ 140 per month. Pension for women from the age of 63. Now there is a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship.

It's not dangerous at all to visit if you come as a tourist and not to the areas bordering Ukraine, where Ukrainian drones are shot down at night.

It is most certainly not dangerous, they would take an interest in you conversationally if you prove to not be a typically dimwitted North American, but dangerous? Most certainly not.
you really should visit Russia just to overcome all those propaganda bias inspired by your mass media. Honestly, it would not be easy just to come and find your place in Russia since lingua franca here is Russian and not English, and that can be a serious problem. But if you are an IT person - that simplifies things a lot since majority of Russian IT companies are English-speaking. Definitely you will lose in an absolute salary. USD 3000 is a normal salary for a middle+ - senior grade of IT specialist here. But. You can afford - housing, services, fitness, kindergarten, education and so on which is times less expensive here.

А молодые люди в России зарабатывают от 50 тысяч и выше, а это уже 500 долларов и можно жить. Тоже не богато конечно, но не хуже чем в США. Я жил в США, там средняя зарплата 3500 долларов. Аренда обычной двухкомнатной квартиры 2000 долларов, медицинская страховка 250 долларов, страховка на автомобиль 150, интернет 100, телефон 100, электричество 100, бензин 100. Остается 700 долларов. Этого хватает только на самую дешевую еду на месяц. А вы не представляете какая дрянь, самая дешевая еда в США. Взять хотя бы хлеб, состав: мука, вода, соль. А там на этикетке хлеба 5 строчек. Там вся таблица Менделеева. У нас в любой Пятерочке продукты в два раза лучше. У них нормальные продукты называются "Органик" и они не по карману обычным людям. Не нужно судить о США по Голливудским фильмам.
А куда идти российскому пенсионеру, если у него нет своего жилья? Проблемы жителей США меня не волнуют, тоже в курсе, что там не рай земной и деньги на пальмах не растут. Я только написал, что у нас тоже нифига не дёшево, если учитывать уровень доходов и что традиционные ценности это привычный способ выживания, так как нет надежды на государство. Там по крайне мере реальная стабильность (без смены режимов, войн, деноминаций, заморозки вкладов, гиперинфляции обесценивания денег), при которой могут работать накопительные пенсионные программы типа 401к и roth ira.
@@vz5835 Да уж. Там стабильность. Без гиперинфляции, заморозки вкладов, накопительные пенсионные программы, которые никогда не сгорают и т.д. Только один вопрос. Откуда там тогда столько бомжей, если все так хорошо? Или вы реально верите в то, что всем этим людям нравится так жить, валятся на асфальте и ходить в туалет прям там же? Вам эта пропаганда уже мозг выжгла. Надо вам съездить и пожить в этой стабильности, чтоб розовые очки немного сползли с глаз. У нас тоже далеко не рай, но гораздо лучше и проще жить, чем там. В США хорошо было в 70-90е годы, но эти времена давно прошли.
Ваша мать живет в собственной квартире скорее всего , при этом "еле выживая на пенсию" .. А в Штатах многие "благополучные" американские пенсионеры торчат в домах престарелых . Сравните .
@@vz5835 как правило российские пенсионеры ВСЕ обеспечены жильем , советским , которое было приватизировано уже в наше время . Ведь ТАК ?
I agree with you, I would move to Russia too but my husband has fallen into the rabbit hole, watches CNN and is of jewish Russian descent who holds negative views of the old Soviet Union, whereas I’m pro-Russia, pro their culture, society and Christian beliefs…I’m Christian myself and respect Russia’s strong family values…🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺💪🇷🇺✌️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺💪🇷🇺✌️

Russian here. Im 35 yer old from Novosibirsk. Im a recruiter. A lot of what is said is true, but there are few things you should consider if moving to Russia. First is our wages. The prices are lower than you accustomed to, but the wages also lower. Of course, it depends on what is your profession, what job you do for living but in general lower. Second is price for estate: it is also very high, not like in USA but still unaffordable for most of population totally. Third: it is capitalism here and as such it feells the crysis the same way as in ANY capitalist country so the prices a going up every year conciderably. On the good side of things are our legacy from USSR: free healthcare , free schools (univercity to som degree to but mostly commercial now especialy if univercity is good). Also we are indeed mostly nice and civilazed people, just do not idealize us in that regard when concidering immigration to Russian. Do some thorough research of your own before moving. Concider every goods and bads of such desicion and onely than do move to Russia. Also we got some thery beutifful nature (places like Altay ore Baycal and many others).
I'm Russian, born and live in one of big cities with over 1M citizens. Never seen an American or other foreigner who's native language is English, but many Indians / Africans who studying here. Where are all these Americans? I myself prefer to live in Russia rather than US (never tried though), but honestly, i tend to think that this is all paid propaganda, since i started to notice too many videos from small channels like this about Americans moving to Russia in my youtube feed. You never know where is propaganda these days...
如果说俄罗斯的好话，很难得到平台的推荐成为大频道与此同时，为什么美国人来的少，因为美国是宣传的中心，他们以为自己生活在最好的地方。你所质疑的地方很好，但是你的结论只是出于对美国强大的幻想的前提上，你甚至不愿意思考有任何一点美国责任的可能性
I'm a middle-american Conservative Christian there's a lot of big families that are supporting themselves by their own business and their civilized and don't cause trouble 35 to 40 million of the population I love my country and I hate to see what's happened to it but it used to not be this way it's changed so much in the past 25 years I'm 55 so I know and I don't live in New York or the coastal cities if you haven't visited Middle America you don't know America that well.
A perfect description. I have lived in 9 countries and now in a former Soviet republic. Russians are exactly like that.
Amen!
How much is the monthly income of the normal Russian outside of the big city of Moscow or St. Petersburg? and how many Rubels are you getting for one US-Dollar right now?
104.10 Russian Ruble and living outside of big cities is most likely cheaper but also have low paying jobs, why move to russia to live in small town anyway
2:37 this is truthful
It is facts 💯 👏 👌 😊
I’ve been three times in Russia and it was exactly what I saw and felt when I was there

Я конечно не имею права судить, ибо в Штатах никогда не жил, но когда речь зашла об инфляции в РФ и США, выводы автора совсем никак не соотносятся с официальными выкладками всемирного банка и МВФ. Инфляция в России за 2024-ый год была была очень высокой. Аналогично было и в 2022-ом и 2014-ом.
Inflation and currency deval is a chronic issue in Russia. You are correct in saying that IT guys can have a premium life in Russia because of the general deficit for such specialists (many fled during mobilization of 2022) and higher than average salaries since the times when globalization worked. In general there are many opportunities in Russia because war economy created many deficits in domestic specialist "market". But you will have troubles transferring assets in and out of the country because of the sanctions.
Of course, enjoy the benefits and incredible convenience and comfort of living in Russia, because all the costs are on those with a Russian passport. After all, you will not be called up to army.
Isn't it the point?
On social security income from US you can live well in Russia not so much in US.
Speaking of which, is it possible for a U.S. citizen on Social Security to still get their benefits? I know that one cannot become a permanent resident or citizen of Russia and still collect Social Security. Do you know how I can find out information about this? I am 64 and am planning on moving to Russia when I retire.
You are making sense on why 'traditional' Russia could appeal to many westerners, in particular Americans. Another reason could be the 'purity' of Russia. Unlike many western countries which are very diverse, perhaps to the breaking point, with all the immigrants from African and central and south American countries seeking a better life, Russia has been exempted from this influx of different racial and ethnic groups for the most part. Not a value judgement, just an observation, in which the appeal is understandable. Good luck everyone!
@@billlewandowski-e9y Russia is not a traditional society and it has 173 ethnic groups. Only 71% of the population of Russia consists of ethnic Russians. The reactionary Russian Orthodox Church was crushed by the Soviets, and it has never recovered its former popularity.

You haven't said about banking system in Russia. Which is probably the most convenient for you could ever find. You can order bank card and it will be delivered to you the next day. And then the most comfortable mobile banking app is at your disposal.
A little bit more information on the drug addiction and alcoholism problem (or non-problem) would be appreciated. The US is a complete mess in this category.
of couse we have, but I for instance have tot seen any person like you told for years, I travel a lot, I did not meet any homeless person for years in our streets. You can watch here on the website video about cities, not Moscow, may be 1000+ km from Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Tula, Grozny. Vladivostok, Petrozavodsk, Uzhnk-Sakhalinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan and etc, just pick the name from the map.
feels like they all died 20 years ago.. no homeless cuz u cant live outside in winter
@@leeshole rent is very cheap in Russia, average Russian pay off for a new home during 4 years.during last 3 years Russia has bitten its own historical record for building new homes (including soviet times) And 40% families have 'dacha' (small summer houses with a bit of land), they are also available for rent, many of them are ok to live in winter. Statistics says that Russia has about 10 000 homeless people in sum ,in Moscow(the largest European capital) - 6000, but they live in shelters - 3-4 people in one room... Russia has almost the highest rate of home owner(thanks to the Soviet Union whe to be homeless was outlow)
It's true that there are some folks struggling with addiction and homelessness, but you're pretty unlikely to see them on the streets. Most people who've had a few too many are usually found in bars or nightclubs in the evening or at night.
@@leesholeОни никуда не делись. Есть, просто их стало гораздо меньше. В бомжи ведь попадают не только из за финансовых проблем. Причин много. Они и при СССР были. Сам видел. Но это был личный выбор и своеобразная судьба.
Am Russian, and am so glad ppl have interest to.my lovely land! Yes he saying truth, and you mast see my country feel her soul by urself guys❤❤❤❤❤
In Russia much more freedom and order now than in any otger countries!
It is very different country than 10 years ago.👍 its clean, safe and cheap.
We have canadian, australian, enlish german migrants who living in Russia pretty well😉
I can understand Americans who are Orthodox ,conservative and from Russian heritage wanting to live there. It in no way is for everyone. I'm Hispanic and the weather alone is a big no!! Culturally totally different. None of the same traditions, music, art, literature, language, food, Religious holidays. It would be depressing. I live in Sonoma County California a beautiful place. Fantastic weather, charming old Town, surrounded by like minded people who are artists, farmers, friendly people. Great food, breath taking landscape and peaceful.
Каждому свое. Но всё вами описанное есть и в России. А погода - это просто данность. Мы привыкли и любим наши 4 сезона. Что касается культуры и тд. - Россия это целая цивилизация в плане культуры. Без России нет мировой культуры.

that was no accident
All those descriptions are nice about Russia but it's real hard to ignore the fact that over the past 2 decades so many, many Russians have chosen to leave their country for good. It's hard to ignore the fact that Russia is ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world from the bottom to its very top: lots and lots of greed, graft, kickbacks, blackmail, money laundering, intimidation.
It's hard to ignore the fact that back in the 90's, Putin allowed a very few elite men to buy for pennies on the dollar much of Russia's natural resource wealth and large infrastructures for pennies on the dollar WITH THE PROVISO THAT HE GET A KICKBACK. All of those kickbacks went to fund his, and long time cronies with lavish lifestyles (mansions on the Rivieras, castles on the Black Sea, yachts, and HUGE bank accounts in the west).
It's hard to ignore the fact that retired people are so happy to tell you about the raise in their monthly pensions from $230.00 to $250, when those very few oligarchs and Putin cronies are skimming so much state natural resource wealth right out from under all of the average citizens' noses.
It's hard to ignore the fact that there is NO freedom of speech, freedom of the press, transparent elections or fair jury by one's peers. When a dissenter is brave enough to make publicly known the true political state of affairs or attempt to run for an office, that person is quite often shot in Red Square, mysteriously falling from balconies, thrown into a gulag, or poisoned with deadly nerve agents,
It's hard to ignore the fact that many Russian citizens have been so brainwashed to the point of going along with INVADING the sovereign nation of the Ukraine, murder many of its citizens, destroy much of the cities in the invaded territory, and kidnap thousands of innocent citizens living there. It's hard to ignore the fact that just like sheep, Russian citizens chose to believe that this war is just due to the pervasive presence of Nazis in the Ukraine when in reality the Ukraine has as its president a Jew!! It's hard to ignore the fact that many average Russian citizens chose not to question and critically consider the actions of their country and acknowledge what they truly are: criminal.
It's hard to ignore the fact that Russia has one of the highest rates of alcoholism in the world. You just have to wonder what all that ill gotten, stolen money now in western bank accounts could have done: rehab establishments, clinics, lower income housing, more financial aid to qualified families, tuition assistants, increases in monthly pensions.
It's hard to ignore the fact that Putin has spent and continues to spend SO MUCH MONEY FUNDING THIS WAR WITH THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF THE UKRAINE WHEN IT COULD HAVE GONE TO THE AVERAGE RUSSIAN CITIZEN in the form of better roads, more schools, more teachers, more scientists, more IT experts, more hospitals, more colleges, more money put toward environmental cleanup...........
YES! THE USA HAS MANY SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL PROBLEMS AND ISSUES BUT IT IS RANKED NUMBER ONE WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION. . SO MANY, MANY PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE HERE, WHERE YOU DON'T GO TO JAIL FOR DEMONSTRATING OR DEFAMING ITS COUNTRY'S LEADERS, WHERE YOU CAN WORK HARD AND HAVE A BETTER LIFE AND WHERE YOU CAN RUN FOR AN OFFICE AND DO YOUR UTMOST TO MAKE IT BETTER.
YES, THE USA HAS PROPAGANDA BUT IT ALSO HAS AVAILABLE FOR ANY INTERESTED CITIZEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SURF THE NET, READ A NEWSPAPER OR TURN ON THE TV AND FIND POINTS OF VIEW FROM ALL SIDES. ANYONE CAN GET ON UA-cam, ESTABLISH A CHANEL AND TELL THE LISTENERS HIS/HER POINT OF VIEW.
YES THE USA HAS PROBLEMS WITHIN ITS LEGAL SYSTEM; BUT THE UNDERLYING PILLARS OF LAW HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND THERE IS IN PLACE A SYSTEM THAT RECTIFYS/MODIFIES/CREATES LAWS WHEN CHANGE IS MANDATED....EVEN IF IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME.
YES, THE USA HAS MUCH WEALTH IN MANY FORMS. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST GENEROUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. FROM THE VERY TOP TO THE AVERAGE CITIZEN. AMERICANS DONATE TO MANY CAUSES ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
YES THE USA HAS NAZIS AMONG ITS POPULATION. THIS COUNTRY TOLERATES THEM ALONG WITH RIGHT WING NUTS, LGBTQS,, COMMUNISTS, RELIGIOUS CULTS,. THEY END UP ON THE FRINGES OF SOCIETY. IF THEY OBEY THE RULES, THEY ARE NOT PUT IN SOME GULAG SYSTEM. IT'S CALLED TOLERANCE AND IT'S ALLOWED HERE.
YES THE AMERICAN FORM OF DEMOCRACY IS "MESSY." THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS ADMINISTERED BY HUMANS, WHO ONE WAY OR ANOTHER MAKE MISTAKES OR TRY TO CHEAT THE SYSTEM. NOT ALL CRIMINALS ARE CAUGHT. NOT ALL GREED, GRAFT AND CORRUPTION IS EXPOSED. BUT WHEN IT IS , THE SYSTEM DOES ITS BEST TO MAKE IT KNOWN AND DEALT WITH.... SOMETIMES FOR THE GOOD AND SOMETIMES NOT. BUT IN THE END, THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS MOVES FORWARD WITH THE UNDERLYING GOAL OF UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION AND ALL OF ITS LAWS, RULES AND RIGHTS.
YES THE USA HAS INVADED OTHER COUNTRIES. IT DID SO TO END WARS: JAPAN AND KOREA.... AND LOOK AT THOSE COUNTRIES NOW!!! IN VIETNAM,, JUST IMAGINE WHAT THIS COUNTRY MIGHT BE LIKE TODAY HAD OUR COUNTRY SUCCEEDED. IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN ANOTHER ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE JUST LIKE JAPAN AND KOREA. MANY AMERICANS EXPOSE THE ILLEGALITY OF INVADING IRAQ AND THE RECENT DISASTROUS EXIT FROM AFGHANISTAN. BUT IN THE USA, ANY AMERICAN CAN STATE PUBLICLY HIS/HER POINT OF VIEW REGARDING THESE TWO INVASIONS AND WARS AND NOT END UP IN JAIL.
I'LL TAKE THE USA AND ALL OF ITS MANY PROBLEMS OVER ANY LIFE IN RUSSIA WHERE THE NEWS IS ALL PROPAGANDA, CORRUPTION IS UBIQUITOUS, AND WHERE A VERY, VERY FOREIGNERS/IMMIGRANTS CHOSE TO CALL HOME ..... AFTER ALL, WHO WANTS TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU MIGHT SAY OR DO WHEN IT COULD LEAD TO TRUMPED UP CHARGES AND A GULAG.

Getting married - yes, sticking together for the rest of your life - no so much. Divorce rates were pretty high in the Soviet times and I think they remained so. But I do not necessarily see that as something going against family values. That is just life.

I'm considering moving there or setting up a home base there as the residency is easy and the location is good, but I'm not a big fan of the cities I've been to. Thinking of trying out life in Chiapas or other less developed states.
