Thanks Danni.. thanks for asking these questions foreigners are dying to ask the russians - especially those who believe they are okay with the pseudo democracy called full fledged autocratic dictatorship... If russians are okay with all of Putin's critics being dead or in prison, then the problem isn't putin, but it's the russian population altogether

The last guy said that even if Putin dies, the people will demand someone similar. Sadly that might be true.
I agree with him totally, the leaders in turn oftentimes are just a reflection of the society they rule over.
@@afa78djd another factor is that Putin shaped society to be how they are so once he’s gone, they will want another person like him. Years of controlling the media and promoting certain rhetoric will shape the population.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson It wasn’t Putin that shaped this. This is how it’s been since even the Serf days. It’s been seen through Tsars, the leaders of the Soviet Union, and even Yeltsin before Putin.

@@kam2894 there was progress in the 90’s and early 00’s. To suggest that Putin has not gone backwards as he restricted more and more speech and basically eliminated any media that isn’t supporting him is a disingenuous argument.

The guy that said "that's just economics and the opposition couldn't stand the competition" doesn't understand what democracy is. The UK electoral system isn't perfect and could do with some reform. We have a weird system of an unelected House of Lords (second house) and first past the post vote instead of proportional representation. The UK is many, many times more democratic than Russia. I visited Russia in the year 2000 with college and Putin was in power. In that time we've had Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and in September we will have a new leader. Russia has had one leader. That isn't how competition works.
Tell me. Has the policy of Great Britain changed because of all these different politicians?)) You, as you were a pawn of the United States, have remained, you, as you were opponents of Russia, have remained. Your Western policy does not change. For you, democracy is just a convenient word.

Agreed, they think that it is about an economic, power, combat and survivability competition, they really don't understand that it should only be a political competition.

Seems the women have more balls than the men in Russia. Respect to them!
Nah. Coincidence. Or maybe deliberate fear for their health and freedom. As I could notice in Russia we still have a different attitude towards women even in terms of implementation of the laws.

"It changes the vector of development, it is such a path, it´s finite path to nowhere... sword of Damocles"
Such a wise man.
For that guy who complained that the question is "manipulative", you should've followed up with a non-manipulative question: "name a single Putin political opponent leader that isn't either dead or in jail" 🤣
Name one that is beside Navalny, because he takes money from the US.
Even among the current presidents on the whole planet, it is difficult to find a competitor for Putin, and you want Russia to have a competitor for him, statistically doubtful. Now do you understand why your wording is also incorrect?
@@bebochek8909 Wow, you are so screwed up! Thanks to very simple-minded, uneducated and easily manipulated people like you, unjust regimes like the Putler regime can establish themselves in the first place and exercise their terror against freedom and humanity. I'm absolutely sure that you would have been a very good support of the Nazis at that time too. But fortunately history has also shown again and again that such unjust regimes don't get very far only with simple-minded, uneducated, naive and mendacious supporters and in the end failure is inevitable. You you lack the cognitive requirements to understand this, but you will experience it!
I’ll name it right now: Grudinin (second after Putin in the 2018 elections), Zyuganov, Roizman (questionable). However, this is not so important when most of the top is one percent of Putin's brain. Putin, even declaring war on the entire West, managed to win))) I'm laughing so hard that the Europeans are now crying and shouting "get rid of Putin !!!" So far, the Russians have not particularly noticed the effect of the sanctions)) Very funny. Well, Europeans love to do it)) historically they have always loved to fight in Russia and fly back without a chance.
How much bread do you have there?)) In Russia, it costs 20 cents. And you?))
This is probably the most provocative interview you have ever made, and once again the females seems to show more bravery with their answers compared to their male counterparts. Good luck to you and stay safe, always.
I participated in a political campaign once - I handed out leaflets about one of the candidates outside a polling station. I found about half of women were willing to stop and listen to me for a few moments - even if they disagreed with my candidate. Virtually no men would - and some even got aggressive and confrontational (to be clear I did not block anyone's path which would be illegal). I learned a lot about the difference between men and women that day.
@@ExVeritateLibertas Don't quote me on that, but I believe women outpace men in political participation in the West (certainly in the US, and I think in Europe, NZ, Australia, Japan and SK).
@@ExVeritateLibertas I'm not sure you can read so much into one situation. Different people reacted differently to one particular person on the street one day.
This is due to the fact that men work more, think, and care about their reputation, and any joint will lead to the fact that the salary of a man will fall from $ 3,000 to $ 1,000. I personally do not need this)) I would rather agree with my government and be completely free)) A country in which you can make fun of anything except the government suits me as a whole. USA is a country where you can only make fun of the government and nothing else. LGBT people will destroy your career, black people will destroy your career, feminists will destroy your career, if you are a Trump supporter your career will be destroyed too. In Russia, you do not scold the authorities, for that you are completely free in your statements.)) Oh yes, a little liberal schoolboy, you now want to write me an answer, but believe me.

In Russia, there are laws according to which the authorities may have questions for you, but he simply asks questions without imposing his point of view, you have been very much promoted, literally comparing North Korea with Russia, where they can eliminate those who are not liked, but cover it up with real laws that the stupid opposition could not take into account, since all their power is Twitter and empty chatter

@Bojan Koturanovic The 20 percent of the population left in donbas are ukranian people. If russia hadnt invaded dunbas in 2014 there would be no death. Instead it appears it is all kremlin knows todo.. Start wars to grab land and power. They did a great job dealing with the terrorists in the school in 2004... Cant even accept their own fault in the deaths of so many children.
You guys are really brave to ask stuff like that, please stay safe and best regards from Spain
@Bojan Koturanovic because I find 1420's videos really interesting and informative, that is why I care about the channel.
He isn’t Russia he’s a Russian learn to separate the 2
@Bojan Koturanovic Can't speak for him, but my guess would be that José most likely cares because he is not conceptually trapped inside the moronic, paranoid world view promulgated for many decades by NKVD/KGB/FSB propaganda, as you (and Putin) appear to be. For God sake wake up. You've been sold a lie and that lie is seriously stunting you.
King M's response is good too. I.e. you could benefit from pondering the function of that word "Russia" within the wording of your question. (BTW the same applies when any other country name is substituted.) What does a "friend of Belgium" mean, for example? And what are the implication of X being (or not) a "friend of Belgium" for X's feelings of concern (or not) for the well-being of some individual Belgian citizen? For the mind not stunted by political indoctrination, such questions cannot have the simple answers that you seem to expect.
@Bojan Koturanovic As a Spaniard, I can also answer this easily, because I care about the well-being of good people regardless of the country they are from, and even more so in the case of those who are putting themselves in danger in order to do the right thing.
@Bojan Koturanovic What does it mean to you to be "a friend of Russia"?
Brave guys

An interesting question would be asking “Wha is Putin’s greatest quality? And his greatest flaw?” The idea is to see what his supporters would criticize him for without feeling the question has bias.
exactly!. that actually would be a good question! Most questions here unfortunately drive people into answering it from a certain point of view, and many decline to answer.
they still know that dissent comes with a baton over the head or a stay in the state run motel.
Putin's dignity is his ability to convince and lead. I have never seen a stronger energy. And the disadvantage is its softness, it lacks rigidity.
@@danascully6670 sorry, you're mistaken, that's not "dignity" that's insecurity from a despot leader who's lieing to his nation clinging to power his ego won't let go of.
@@mark-ish this is a virtue that every president must have, otherwise no one will listen to him at all. And what you wrote about Putin is nonsense, which makes no sense to comment.
The "constructive criticism" was invented in Poland (or introduced from USSR) in sixties - it exactly means you can complain but you can't blame government for this. We didn't buy this shit.
It was something recycled from the first stages of the Bolshevik party. In the 20s they adopted the principle of "democratic centralism" which invited this "constructive criticism" - provide everybody fell in line once a decision was reached.
@@vijek6435 a century later, it's small man syndrome who doesn't take kindly to insubordination.
Maciek, it's not a polish invention. It' was and it is an unavoidable product of every authoritarian form of ruling. It's nothing else as a perverse changing of meaning of the word "criticism". You are allowed to criticize as long as the ruler likes your way of thinking. If not, your way will be declared destructive and you will be called an enemy of the country and the people. And prosecuted.

Thank you Valde for nice words:)
1420 definitely has some big balls.
Funny though how many people keep going with the I don't know enough, or I am not political cop out. I thought Russia was supposed to be the last bastion of strong men.
The women in Russia seem to be stronger actually.
1420 is kgb agents
Yeah, police is searching for him almost 2 years now, cannot catch him tho 😂
I can guarantee you that they are already on FSB list. When Russia will lose in Ukraine and Nazi-Russia will isolate themself from the liberal world, these people will be make resposible for the loss.
What fucking balls, dude, this topic is not punishable by law and they won't put you in jail for this, what these buzzers are coming up with for themselves is that the government is crushing the opposition and this is only in Russia. Fuck, any government puts pressure on its opposition look at Trump, how the FBI came to him with searches before the congressional elections or wherever Republicans win on all issues, this can also be called the pressure of Democrats on the opposition party
women have nothing to fear, nor they pose even a slightest danger to the government (0, zero, nada, rien), men can be beaten up or raped if they go into prison, because in case of revolution it's men who will organize it and will bear the onus of actual fighting, while women's faces will be on all the colorful posters
I have a former classmate who right-now is inside jail for political activity, and last i've read about him he was constantly beaten up and had inmates "approaching" him, most likely on prison-higherups orders, and he most certainly wasnt even a high profile guy... You don't often hear such stories about female activists, some even manage live normal life, they from protest to 7 days in the cell, then to begging money for a new laptop on twitter, unless they dig info on big people of course.
last guy is absolutely ridiculous, firstly, think about 1991 and massive number of people on the streets of moscow, secondly, think about all of the hundred thousands of people in 2011 or in winter when navalny came back to russia, lastly, to say that russians have some sort of “gEnES” is basically saying that africans are meant to be slaves or columbians are meant to be cocaine producers, this is a complete nonsense and bullshit, as a russian who went and goes on rallies i can say that this guy is just a clown. you should not ever listen people who say that somebody is bad because of genes, these people are no more than idiots or racists. dictatorship in spain ended like 45 years ago, dictatorship in portugal ended about 50 years ago, if one man controls everything and kills or puts behind bars everyone who is against him, it’s not the people who are guilty and have “bAd GEnEs”, it’s dictator
I don't think he meant it literally - I just visited Slovakia and was surprised how many people thought that 'strong leader' would solve their political problems. I think he meant that type of thinking.
People don't realise that democracies are 'advanced' because they are stable in long run - not because they are the most efficient.
Russia was just getting started when Putin took the wheel.
Тот чел просто клоун и русофоб, который сам, наверное, ни на один митинг не ходил и наблюдателем не был, но всех называет рабами
The last guy was 100% right. RuSSians indeed have serf mentality. You're talking about "hundreds of thousands of people"? Or about the ~700 people in the airport waiting for Navalny? RuSSia is a country of 140 million :D 80% percent of RuSSians support the war and putin. RuSSIa never had democracy, nor rule of law, nor human rights, nor respect for private property. And it probably won't have it in the next 50 years.
He actually has a point. Not about genes, but history. Russians are used to autocracy
He is just resentful of his fellow russians who voted for Putin
I watch your channel because 1: I am so impressed with the attitudes of young Russians, so smart and well informed and 2: You are super brave to ask these important questions at a time when your government is trying to go in reverse towards a long lost and failed regime of authoritariasm.
Young Russians are “smart and well informed”??? Did you even watch this video?
@@godfrapp_ exactly for some reason people seem to think cause they saw some old grandma's cheering on putin once that only the old do it. The reality is that every age supports and opposes him. In many of his question videos you get pretty equal old and young repeating the tv propaganda.
@@raymaster yes, but there is a clear difference nevertheless.
There are barely any older Russians opposing the war.
Among younger Russians, the share of anti-war and anti-Putin attitudes is very large, yet there are also those that support, but significantly less than among the older ones

@@frankozrin5611 Young Russians like to exercise their minds, but have limited knowledge. As they get older, they learn how the outside world really works and their opinions change. That is roughly the explanation for the old/young divide. TV propaganda is a factor, but not nearly as much as in Western countries.
Thank you for your videos! Until the "Special Operation" began, I only paid attention to your part of the world peripherally.... meaning not really at all besides news headlines. I'm glad there are people like you out there to show us what people in your country really think... and not even about politics and "Special Operations" all the time. You have plenty of videos about just everyday topics as well which I find fascinating for some reason. So thank you again!
Also, thank you for recommending Kirill's channel. His videos are great and I hope he keeps it up! It's really interesting to see his perspective on how he and his family have been impacted.
Sergei Shoigu is not side-lined. He is dead already. After tortured, he was forced to suicide. When hanging, his organs were taken out of his body alive as per KGB Putin killer request. Typical Adolf Putin Kill em all.
Saw a few of your videos, and this one was great at getting some interesting, and opposing at times, views out of the interviewees.Getting someone a platform, getting someone to think his position through before answering, and articulating the dorment/repressed thoughts. Keep up the good work!
I wish that I could get in your videos and with brutal honesty answer those questions. Btw I live in Moscow, but never saw you, well maybe one day.
I loved that question, provocative as it should be!!
I wish you good luck and hope no criminal charges will be against you and your crew ✊

@@faster7116 yes, of course, Russia is a such a free country that no one wants to comment on politics 😂
So, everybody knows about Navalny because he's such a high-profile "cause célèbre". But have you heard of Kara-Murza? Do you know anything about his work and his opinions? He too survived several poisoning attempts (ordered by you-know-who ☠), and he too was interned in a high-security prison camp immediately upon his voluntary return from exile.
Here's another idea for questions to ask people on the street:
- Now that Russia has been expelled from UEFA/FIFA, Wimbledon, the International Hockey Federation etc etc etc, should Russia, Belarus and Iran arrange their own separate sporting events? Should North Korea be invited to join, or would that give Russia a bad reputation internationally? What do you think of Russia's chances in various sports such as ice hockey, tennis, soccer, Formula 1 etc etc
- Do you like the band Little Big, who recently left Russia?
- Do you like the tennis player Daria Kasatkina, who recently left Russia?
I think Russia could create other tournaments in conjunction with other countries or other forms of interaction to replace tournaments. I think we should be open to co-sporting events with any country that has athletes and if they want to compete with our athletes, I don't think country or nationality should matter.
I watched some little big clips and they were cool.
I don't know anything about Daria Kasatkina, I'm not fond of tennis.
Any person should have his own position, you should not be guided by the positions of other people and start from their views.

People will lose interest and it will just be the good old totalitarian state it has been for years. The worst punishment the west will give - is to forget Russia for good! Certainly it will never be trusted again now. We have learnt too much about the Russian people themselves. "You make your bed and you lie in it"
As a Russian, I absolutely disagree with the last dude. Sounds insulting. Look at Korea. The same genetically identical people, but two absolutely opposite systems - the Northern total Dictatorship and the southern liberal democracy. Moreover, we have a very huge genetic diversity to speak such nonsense.
Politicised genetics has a history in russia, at least going back to the “idea” of Trofim Lysenko. Crazy stuff.
Oh well, N-Korea has been N-Korea for less than 100 years. Russia has been Russia for 1000 years. Not much has changed and still you go for an autoritarian dictator every time. Sure there are some individuals who are interested in the idea of democracy, but I'm sure they will be deleted in the next Great Purge.

@Dadalux If you do not understand, the answer was to a specific thought. Without deepening about the freedom of other countries or the lack of freedom in a particular one. If it seems strange that I am commenting not on the question that was voiced, then the strange thinking is clearly not mine. Want to talk about the topic you asked? About freedom and a gift? Ok, let's. What is an example of a country that did not use any means other than its own people to achieve freedom? + an example of a country where in only one 20th century it was destroyed: 1. 50 million people in several wars, 2. about 6 million repressions 3. where 3 revolutions took place in succession in 15 years, which did not lead to the correct results with losses of about 10 million? (by the way, for these three reasons, the most promising gene pool was actively destroyed. Russia is a country of women, have you ever heard of this?) + an example of a country that has been ignored by a human rights court for 30 years (and not only this organization, but others as well), because he does not want to cover the problems of the state-exporter of resources, so as not to quarrel with its president? + the country became free, because the people wanted it that way, and the empire / union did not collapse / did it become difficult to contain the colonies? This time. Territorial dispersion, from this there is no cohesion of the people. Russia is not a little Poland or the Czech Republic. The people themselves are abandoned - and this is a problem. This is two. Well, let's at least dwell on this) By the way, only China is suitable for all this according to the criteria, but maybe you can name someone else, I may be off topic. Freedom, of course, does not come as a gift. But there are reasons why people, destroyed by life, spit on freedom. I do not justify the Russians from the point of view that they are energetic in politics, moreover, I hate and despise them for it. But the fact that they want some peace without barricades is understandable. Of course, they still have to face the consequences, but they are now trying not to think about it.
@@annavladimirovna3171 France switched to Democracy in 19 century, one simple revolution. You had your chance in 90' but you showed that Russian nation as a whole lack personal responsability and moral ground to sustain a working democracy.

Young Russians are so much wiser and better informed than the oldies who are deciding the young ones’ future, but won’t live long enough to be in it.
Of the wise and brave, the women are the bravest and most insightful. If only the old men in charge had their attitude & brains. In all countries. But particularly in countries where women are NOT equal and there is no political opposition to stop the killings.

A few are buried in the UK. It is fascinating to see how most of the people have little understanding of how a government can work with an effective opposition. That is obviously because during thousands of years of development, Russia has never experienced it.
of course, no one even guesses, it’s so hidden, as you apparently don’t guess, that most of these people are sitting fucking under the real articles of the criminal code of Russia, and some of them, so that the * free, democratic * West doesn’t even come close to arrange any revoort of power and didn’t come to what happened in Ukraine, didn’t arrange a color revolution, and there wouldn’t be a total upheaval and chaos in the country, which overtook Ukraine, which is “100 times more democratic than Russia”, but why in 30 years after leaving the USSR everything got poorer and poorer (google the statistics of the standard of living, the economy of Ukraine from 1991 to 2022). bro, many residents of Russia (not all) understand what the coming to power of some kind of pro-Western opposition that rides on populism will lead to.

Fingers crossed, I guess.
Russians do just fine in other countries.
So you can take the Russian out of Russia, and take the Russia out of a Russian.
I've recently read the news, that from the next year in russian schools it will be necessary to raise russian flag and sing a hymn every week. Also there will be special patriotic lessons from the 1st grade, they want to make patriotic zombies from russian children. So glad that I've already finished school.

Absolutely correct point about manipulation in the question itself.
Great video again❤️🇫🇮
The fact that they're so afraid of how the question is formulated shows how dystopian it has gotten in Russia.
I mean, its not like they go after the people directly but you do not want to be around Putin's men talking about such stuff. You know...he is Russia's president years now for a reason. There is a reason he is a meme, there is a lot of fanatism mixed in here, does that mean this is dictatorship? It is understandable to assume and think so but the majority of people do not care as you can see. They technically aprove it because otherwise they could had revolted and threw him out years ago. But his rule is ideal for them, those who think otherwise are basically a minority at this point, or they seem like one. Russian people are very vocal and active about politics, there is also a reason they had so many revolutions throughout their history second only to the French. They are not idiots to just tolerate someone they do not like. Russia of all countries have a really big strength of character. You can not bend them easily. Nazi's couldn't even by force, who are you to do so and indirectly promote propagandistic ideas?
If Russia was such a dystopia then they would had been reacting, its not like they need a Westerners's help to do so.
Do not mess with the bear. We shouldn't be caring about this entire Ukraine-Russia war in the first place.
Its their war let them sort it out. Sure send humanitarian support and all that but no weapons on either side. Why weapons? Once you do its technically an indirect declaration of war on the opposing side.
Γιατι ρε "γαμημενε" στελνεις πολεμικο εξοπλισμο; Ενω εδω εχουμε αλλα δικα μας θεματα με τον γειτωνα στο Αιγαιο Πελαγος. Ελεος πια, κοινη λογικη μηδεν και τωρα αυτο το πλασμα ειναι προθυπουργος δηλαδη;
It’s a stupid question, “opposition” was so bad, since 2000’
One person to follow (as that girl said) is exactly what you DON'T need. Look at the history of every country throughout time to see what happens when people follow a powerful leader. I'll give you my definition of democracy shall I? It is when people, without needing to resort to violence, can remove whoever is in charge.
I'm American but my wife is Vietnamese and so I live in Vietnam. Though she's a communist party member, she has her private disagreements with the government. But as I've learned from her and observing in VN, simply protesting against an authoritarian state "just doesn't work" (her words). So I feel considerate of some of the interviewees here, but it's very hard to see what they can do to fix the situation. You can't just expect someone to throw away their life in a futile effort for reform.
That’s what the second amendment is for
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Im a lawyer, and a pretty highly educated one at that. So I know something about the second amendment. Your comment is not totally wrong, but not totally right either. There are a number of legal theories as to how to approach constitututional interpretation: plain language, original intent, textualism, historicism . . . all are somewhat valid. I'd humbly suggest the best view is to see the idea of that amendment was to give individual citizens the right to weapons, a limited right because ALL rights are limited rights, but the unfettered access to assault weapons and so forth that we have in many US states now is a pretty obvious overstatement of those rights. As to overthrowing the government, that's a nice mythology for American independence but I'm not sure I buy the theory that in 2022, the US will solve its political problems by massacring one another. You really think that? Just offering my humble view.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming The hundreds of pages of transcribed notes taken during the debates between the Founders explain that the 2nd Amendment is solely about having a well-regulated militia to defend America at a time there were no plans for a standing professional army. What you believe the 2nd is for is addressed by the Founders in Article III, Section III, Clause 1, of the Constitution and tells you exactly what they think of your belief.
The "sword of Democles" guy sees things so clearly. So perceptive.
I think you would've gotten more answers if you asked "are there opposition figures (to our government/to Putin) in our country who are not dead/jailed/in exile?"
There was one Alexei Navalny. They tried to kill him and he is now in prison for life
The younger Russians know what’s going on but they seem helpless to change anything.

To be fair the question is indeed phrased in such a way that it presumes the person answering it already agrees on the opposition being either in jail or dead. It'd be better to ask why they think Boris Nemtsov is dead, or Anna Politkovskaya, or why Navalny is in prison etc.

The last dude seen in this video is hilarious. Two of my coworkers here in the US are Russian-born. They feel comfortable living in a society different from what, according to this dude, their "genetics" predisposed them to.
Some interesting details in how he words it though. He often says "them" instead of "us" when talking about these characteristics, which to me subtly says he does not want it to be that way, but he has been disappointed in his compatriots enough to not have too much hope. He kind of sounded a bit resentful about this. Behind every cynic there is a disillusioned idealist.
@@patriark in my opinion the last guy says "them" instead of "us" in order to separate himself from them. Basically he said those Russians are "built differently ''unlike him which is very rude and arrogant.
