Three things that hold me back. I don't know russian language at all. I could learn it but that's going to take at least 2 years. The weather, most of russia is winter snow 66% of the year. Salaries are low. But still i am considering it.
I’d love to live in Russia but how do you get a job do you find that having a yt channel is a good income and also how is finding a wife in Moscow if you do that
What a great channel, mate. It's clear you're you're enjoying life in an amazingly beautiful city. I agree with your points on ignoring the propaganda that Russians are bad? I haven't been to Russia but have travelled quite a fair wee bit and always find if your friendly, polite, and respectful, then it will be reciprocated. Keep up the good work and let's people know how good Moscow can be
I'm kicking myself, 62 years old and looking at the state of the UK. If I was younger I'd move to Russia in a heartbeat. Scotland isn't suffering the decline as fast as England but it's on its way. Propaganda here amazes me, we've been told we are the envy of the world for so long , my arse, and that Russia is evil and we should hate it. Well morals and values are going right down the shitter over here and from what I see Russia is one of the few places defying the brain rot. As I said I'm 62 so I'm unlikely to move by way of work but I'd dearly love to. I've been learning Russian for 20 months now and still don't feel confident but not giving up. Love your videos. Your a lucky man.
England has already gone down the shitter. it has GONE. its game over here. I dont like people who still keep saying oh its going and things are getting worse,. they have ALREADY gone worse, i hate it here too. shithole.
by the way sometimes months go by in the UK and i do not hear the english language anymore, it does not exist around here, here the language seems to be romanian, albanian, turkish, syrian, indian, Sri lankan. im in greater london
Highly recommend a 2-week seminar in Riga with Stanislov Chernishov. I think it's called Russian in Riga. I went twice, from USA, and now I am studying Russian in Moscow for 6 months. I'm older than you, so it's do-able.
So nice to hear you guys have been married for 20 years and are moving to Russia. I just came back from there last week and I want to move back there after 30 years overseas.
I am from the UK currently in Russia at the moment visiting for 3 weeks with my Russian wife and son, love it here. Thanks once again for having the balls to share this content despite all the narratives, keep up the great work mate.
I’m from an area in the U.S. with a big Slavic population. It is true that it is a non-smiling and initially reserved culture. But as is said in this video, once you have an “open door”, then you see the wonderfulness of the people. I’m lucky, my daughter in law is Russian❤
@@jackmade2027 Russians are more realistic. Fast friendships are made and easily lost in American culture. We are an optimistic people, and smiling is expected. My daughter in law loves me, and I know it is a deep love.
Your videos to me are like a breath of fresh air, I moved from Russia to the UK 19 years ago hoping to have a happy family. The one thing I got from it: two wonderful girls. And now I have to face it: I just don't like my life here and never did. I used to find reasons, to say "I must try harder"- but it is just not my country. Right now Iam in the tallinn in the hotel preparing for my flight back to the UK after staying in Moscow for three weeks and I feel totally sick already. I feel almost wretched, and finally I admit, i cannot continue living in the UK, I don't like Europe or any other country and Ive travelled a lot, the only way for me is my Homeland, this is the only place on earth when I feel alive, present, truly happy - it's undescribable. I am quite pragmatic however this is something physical even my body signals me. 😢 9 more months and I just hope to leave for Moscow ❤❤
The most amazing aspect of Moscow, is how very clean and orderly everything is, and most wonderful of all is no ugly graffiti anywhere. Truly a place where the citizens are very proud to be residents of Moscow.
It’s so true. When I come to Moscow from Vienna which is absolutely marred with graffiti, it’s such a pleasure to walk there, such a huge contrast. Moscow is impeccably clean and not only in downtown Moscow but in other districts as well.
Love Russia and Moscow. A beautiful place and beautiful people. The most beautiful women on earth. Kiwi here, amazing to hear that you have lived in NZ.
@alexvlasny9755 hahahahaha yea righto, what media channels have you being watching?? That's insane. I wasn't arrested the first time why would I be arrested the second time?
Come to St. Petersburg also and travel across Russia - I’ve been to Baikal, Kamchatka, Sochi, Caucasus etc. I’m from St. Petersburg ❤ my husband is from England, he adores St. Petersburg, and our metro stations were shocking for him - like underground palaces and only for 0,50 £ 😅
Moscow is a fantastic city. I have been there twice. Any American considering moving should start the process today to become part of a culture that values traditional beliefs.
Your videos are quite interesting. I'm 76, retire, and living near Chicago. If I was in my early 20s, I might consider Russia as a place to live. It's safer, cleaner, and devoid of the moral corruption and cultural rot that infests the USA at all levels.
I have been watching your channel and a few others these last few weeks, Russia looks great and the people seem to be amazing, with the way the UK is falling faster than brick dropped from a plane, i really want to get out of my own country, will have to wait till July next year as my daughter is in her last year of college.
Every time I watch videos on Russia and its cities and the countryside of Russia, I fall more and more in love with Russia 🇷🇺 Canada 🇨🇦 I guess you would feel more safe in Moscow than you would in Glasgow or Edinburgh Scottish Guy ? Moscow is a much larger city than the two Scottish cities combined.
Живу в Москве больше 20 лет. Я женщина.Никогда на меня никто не нападал, даже когда шла с работы одна на окраине города поздно вечером или ехала в метро с вокзала в 6 утра
So clean, reminds me of America before the 60s I In Baltimore, MD the rowhouse residence used to scrub the marble steps until they gleamed. Posted on X

@@hansschwartz1480 For self-realization of a person. Have you watched the video? New horizons open up for a person, new opportunities appear. A person's opportunities are not necessarily money. First of all, it is self-realization and self-development. Money is only a pleasant bonus or a consequence of these opportunities.
@@hansschwartz1480 Many young Russians are leaving Russia en masse only on the pages of Western propaganda newspapers. Just as I have repeatedly read reports that there are no men on the streets of Russian cities. This is nonsense and a lie. But of course, this phenomenon partially existed, two years ago. But these people left Russia not because of a lack of prospects and a lack of opportunities, but because of their political views and mobilization. But now more than 70% of these people have already returned to Russia. What came first, the chicken or the egg? For some reason, for you, self-realization is first and foremost money, and only then develop with this money. But Russia is turning the card table upside down. First of all, morality and soul, and material goods are in second place. First, a person realizes himself, sets new goals, does not see barriers, spiritual uplift, a new outlook on life, a change in worldview, development, and only then money, as a consequence of all of the above. Russia is a country of opportunities because there are all the ways for a person to realize themselves, and if after that a person can earn money, then that is a big plus. Russia is about morality, soul and non-material benefits of a person, and Western civilization is money and a material worldview. Russia helps a person to develop But if you want to talk about material benefits in Russia. Then in Russia now there is a big shortage of specialists in any industry, because the Russian economy is growing and there are not enough people.
@@hansschwartz1480100% . A lot of these foreigners just spreading some nonsense propaganda. I’ve been to Russia every year. House in St Petersburg. It ain’t nothing like this Scottish man says it is. He talking some fantasy

I visited Russia and Moscow for 2 weeks this July. It really is a great country and people should see it for themselves, before they make up their opinion on it. And Moscow is a beautiful city.
I used to work in Rosyth dockyard 1981 to 1999 and remember all the crap we were told back then. If you were going on a visit or holiday to a non approved country you were grilled rotten and warned about being approached by shadowy people ready to extract secrets that were bad for Her Majesty's defence. Propaganda still embedded in the population to this day, despite the fact that our government are more dangerous to us than we'd ever believe. I've seen enough to know I'd rather live in Russia than experience the decline that's headed our way in the UK. Much as I love Scotland I'd be willing to leave it if the opportunity was available.
@@johnmccann7750 I fell in love with Scotland through the band Nazareth. I listened to their albums for a long time at home, in the car. And they came on tour to Russia quite often. I caught them in Sochi I think in 2016 (need to check on the properties of the photos). My friend and I were in the front rows of the hall where they performed. I still have exclusive photos that I took with a big Nikon DSLR right at McCafferty's point of view. Dan has since passed away and my friend moved to North Carolina and still lives there. He visited recently and we were at the bar reminiscing about old times. Even as a supporter of the western lifestyle, he noted that life was getting worse, his business (trading on amazon) was declining.

Foreigners find English speaking people speak too fast to understand- your words flow easily when you speak in your mother tongue, no matter the language 😁. The good thing about social media is that we're uncovering the lies we've been fed for far too long. A Polish YTuber I'm subscribed to wants to move to Russia too.
Good advice. I wish someone on such videos would focus on the Russian Orthodox Churches which i love. I wish i could see inside each one . And even get glimpses of the services , but i recognize the unlikelyhood of that. Because of the beauty and holiness of the services. As a convert to the Orthodox Church who first attended services in Moscow and St. Petersburg, they would be my first loves if i could go back, which i cannot now..☦️💜☦️
There are almost no Russians in Brooklyn. They don't move there. The Russian speaking population in Brooklyn are Jewish immigrants who immigrated from the USSR (Mostly Odessa, Ukraine) back in the 1970s and the 1980s. Their children (who also still speak Russian) were mostly born and raised in Brooklyn. These Jewish people have nothing to do with Russia or Russians, neither culturally nor in terms of ethnicity. The dialect of the Russian language that they speak is also very different from Russian spoken in Russia. It sounds very funny and weird to any Russian. In recent years there have also been a lot of Russian speaking immigrants in Brooklyn from other republics of the former Soviet Union, like Uzbekistan or Tajikistan. They also have nothing to do with Russia or Russians. Now, if you want to see real Russians from Russia in the US, you need to go to Miami (Sunny Isles, Hallandale, Hollywood and Brickell). That's where most real Russian immigrants are, especially from Moscow. Boca Raton, FL also has a huge Russian community. The second largest concentration of Russians is San Jose, California, because of the IT industry. Also, Russians usually live among Americans in most major US cities, like in Seattle, Chicago, Austin, Charlotte, Tampa, San Diego, etc. Many Russians do not live in the Russian speaking communities in the US.
@@elena79rus …… sorry, but I have to disagree. I was born and raised in Brooklyn and now live on Staten Island. Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay have a huge Russian population - almost 90,000, hence the nick name of “Little Odesa”. The large Jewish Russian population lives in areas like Boro Park, Williamsburg (the largest Orthodox Jewish population in NYC), and a few areas on Staten Island, plus huge communities in upstate NY. The Russian Orthodox (Christian) have been most recently been coming to Staten Island within the last decade or so. My neighbor and his family emigrated from Russia to Staten Island about 20 years ago. At the time, none of them spoke fluent English, but their sons integrated smoothly into the school system here and have gone on to very successful jobs now with NASA. They are Russian Orthodox (Christian). The Russian population on Staten Island is slightly less than in Brooklyn and as far as I know, there aren’t any Orthodox churches on Staten Island, but several beautiful cathedrals in Brooklyn. Actually, according to the latest population data for 2024, New York has the highest at 357K, California is second at 354K and Florida is third, with just about 2/3s that amount (196K). Anyway…… the point is, Russia has often been depicted as some dark, nefarious, unfriendly-to-outsiders place by the media, but recent videos by Russian citizens, as well as non-Russians living there now, show a very different place - one of law and order, strong family structure, rich culture etc. it is looking very inviting, especially as we see life here in the US take a sharp turn away from traditions and culture as it heads to more woke agendas at warp speed. My husband is of Lithuanian decent, and I taught in a Greek Orthodox school for many years, so the Russian culture, having several similar traits, has always interested me,coming from a totally different background of NY Irish/Scottish/Sicilian 😊 ~> which is why I follow several channels here.
I moved to the UK from Slovakia in 2011 and I like it here. People are friendly and welcoming as long as you respect the British culture. My parents are in Slovakia and they are more than happy living there. They have their own house with a big garden, which is the most important thing for them as a retired couple in their early 60s. Maybe I will move back when I get old, but for now, I am happy here in the UK. I love that I can spend time in both countries. I like how busy the UK is (population of Slovakia equals to 1/2 of London), you can always find something to do + the architecture, museums, the way of life, the people, but I also enjoy the mountains in Slovakia, proper 4 season and how laid back Slovaks are. Skiing, hiking, mountain biking...it's another level and I miss that sometimes, so I visit often. Speaking of Russia, I would love to visit one day. Since they introduced an electronic visa to Russia, it should be a bit easier now :)
I’d love to visit Russia, so much history and culture. People need to look into history and keep an open mind and try things for themselves. They’ll be surprised
Love the sound of Scottish English ) thanks for saying such a nice things about Russians ! We will always welcome everyone, who’s coming to Russia with good intentions !
Прям такие туземцы как индейцы, некежиток комунизма-либерализма навязанных Западом . Вы там жили хотя бы 10 лет? Они другие, для них Россия это территория, место для колонизации.
Greetings, mate. Russian is a very very difficult language and the russians are well aware of that and are not very demanding like the french, for example, it goes by itself that it's very very hard for a foreigner to learn it even on a basic level. So the only important thing really is the idea and the vibe when you try to comunicate to people in a foreign language, the grammar and the pronounciation really don't count that much, the only important thing is comunicating intelligent ideas with a good vibe, the rest is details. P.S. Learning english for years and then listening to a scottish person speak english and not being able to understand a word, not even where a word starts and ends was a real shock, lol. So I feel your pain about coming to Russia and having problems understanding the locals that speak not quite like at russian lessons at a language school :) Really good content, nice job!
Very interesting videos you are making. Moscow seems very clean and litter free and graffiti free. Of course Russia is such a huge country and quite fascinating.
Greetings from Serbia! Sitting here and envying you on living in Russia. I wonder why is it that you didn't feel quite at home in Serbia? So could you please do like a cross reference about all those countries, what were the pluses and what was a no-no for you. Cheers and best of luck! ;)
I found it harder to make friend in Serbia and of course I didn’t speak any of the language. Although I am still in contact with people from there. I lived one year in Belgrade
@@scottishguyinmoscow Oh, so sorry to hear that you had a hard time making friends in Serbia and Belgrade of all places. That is the last thing I expected to hear, honestly. Still, as a person from Belgrade, who has many, many international friends, I am really sorry that you didn't feel at home here. Hope you'll still come when you can, and that we will improve on second impression, even if you don't remain living here. And thank you for replying. :)
@@Clockworkg1rl This sister (not a brother) is not exactly sure what you mean. :) I would love to live in Russia, been there several times, know many people... For me too, it's the only place outside of Serbian lands where I feel at home. I know what it's like, and wish I could part-take in that. :) And as for envy, it's not bad envy, and it's not really envy - it's admiration, really. :)))

There have been many very large and dramatic wars on our land in recent centuries. This changes the mentality. On the one hand, we have seen many times that you can only save yourself together, you cannot survive in a big trouble alone and you need to help those who are nearby. It is a shame not to help. On the other hand, Russians can become very unpleasant people if you really anger them and become an enemy. Friends and enemies are real concepts in Russia. In addition, the ancient tradition of helping a foreign wanderer is still strong in Russia.
I think in western countries people don't really make friends and stay away from others as much as they can to avoid ratting on non existen things so they use small talk instead. And if they make friends it's because they've decided you are their personal slave, not because you are equal. Friendshiping in west is a lottle bit mad.
It takes amazing courage to make the plunge that you did. Someone like yourself who is capable of working hard and managing uncertainty can do quite well. Good for you and keep it up, glad to see the channel growing!
you have no idea what you can see in gym... and they are even not a pro, just a regular girls... so pretty, so sexy... it is candy shop for your eyes 🤩🤪
Your opening my eyes here my friend, the stereotype we are fed from the uk establishment and media about Russia is not surprisingly a load of guff., I’m 62 and would definitely consider moving there. Can’t believe how quite it looks in a major city like Moscow, beautifully kept, the vid you did in the park with the chess sets out that would last 2 minutes in uk parks for me speaks volumes.
Oh , you ve got that idiot.....mmmmm, Piers Morgan , I think. What an ass. I wonder if hi thinks that ppl in England as stupid as hi is😂😂😂 anyway ❤❤❤ from motherRussia, good luck with moving
Люди в Москве автоматически начинают говорить быстрее, даже если приезжают из маленьких городов, где речь и ритм жизни более размеренный. Я это на себе испытал, поэтому с уверенностью могу сказать, что это так. Когда возвращаюсь в свой город - мне требуется некоторое время, чтобы моя речь снова замедлилась.
Я был в Москве, там действительно быстро всё, надо улавливать. Много молодых энергичных людей. Я раньше тоже быстро говорил, многие меня поправляли, сейчас с возрастом медленнее.
@@kihyunm6375 да для того, чтобы это выяснить на собственом опыте - поживите год в маленьком городе и год в Москве. Тут и исследования не нужны, всё так и есть) Можно в гости пригласить кого-нибудь из Москвы или Питера, если Вы живёте в маленьком городе - пойдите на прогулку, Вам придётся догонять гостя :D
I heard Putin passed a bill allowing foreigners who are unhappy under Western neoliberalism to move there. Do you know anything about this? I would love to move to Russia!
The monument to children victims of adult vices is an interesting one! There was a lot of controversy when it was just erected, as tradition of monuments with negative connotation was almost nonexistent in Russia. Local residents didn't like the monument and told it was ugly. I like it though, I think the artist was genuine in expressing this idea.
This is my favorite monument in Moscow. I am a local resident. 😁 It would be interesting if they let blogger through the fence and allowed us to film the monument up close.
I know what you mean. I can imagine a child asking what this monument means. It lacks innocence and it could be taken both ways. I think the best thing about it, is that it sends a clear message to parents.
Hi, I can only echo what you say about the Russian people: warm and kind, and within their family (I am married to a Russian woman for nearly 30 years) most caring and empathetic. I am German, we are (still) living in Germany - and quite a few of the German people are just the contrary…keep posting your nice and informative videos, that help to educate those who were never ever in Russia!
Have YOU of the concept called "The Quality-of-Life Index"? In the USA the major cities have a declining Quality-of Life Index as I have experienced it in Philadelphia and in Louisville. Luckly with my wife and myself having the wealth to escape those two cities we NOW live in Eastern Tennessee and our quality-of-life is NOW back to what it was when I was growing up in Kentucky. I can see that Moscow has a high quality-of-life for those Russians who can afford to live there. About the language, I see that there are portable language translators or apps you can have on YOUR AI equipped phone. The new Samsung phones have apps that can translate in real time the spoken words of Russians into English and that is what someone can do if they lack the ability and the time to invest in learning to speak and understand a new language. Being a retired person who has just moved into a new community I would love to come and visit Moscow and stay for a year and find out how the Russians in Moscow live. I can already tell that I would love to explore the Moscow Metro and its cultural sites.

Yesterday I read in the news that Putin signed a law simplifying the relocation of foreigners from Western countries to Russia. I don't know the details because I've been a Muscovite since birth and I don't need it, but perhaps if someone is interested, they can contact the website of the Russian embassy in your country for clarification.
id rather a tarantula lay eggs in my ear than freeze my arse off in almost darkness... in a concrete jungle for a majority of the year, sounds really appealing....
Moscow citizen here, have never seen that monument with children playing, interesting place, curious to go there, thx for showing it. Also just subbed, keep it up
Ur so right about the language... my guy is russian he speaks all the time to me in russian because he said when i take u home I want you to feel comfortable.
That detail with the tree where people can put their lockets tells you something very important. I always thought bridges look messy with all those lockets on them, which is not pleasant for the eye and breaks the aesthetics of the outside environment. Simple solutions like that just make a lot of difference, because you want to walk around clean and nice-looking streets and bridges. Seeing that clean environment itself educates people to respect it, kids see clean street they will never trou their garbage outside the bin. This respect for the environment and the people surrounding you is very much gone in Western countries.
At the end of the day, what matters is how better off you feel. How far does your money go, how safe and clean are your streets, how much trust and friendliness do you feel from strangers, and how inspired by your surroundings you are, and how much access do you have to things that make you materially better off - Moscow offers it all. Sure, the West can offer every material good possible, but compared to the other factors, that's basically all it can offer.
Russia IS on MY List and I TOTALLY agree with you: I've been traveling to my Second Home of Thailand for over thirty years now and consider Chiang Mai my Second Home! My Thai is hardly fluent but I DO speak and understand enough to get around and have truly come to love the Kingdom of Thailand as deeply as I do. I have had similar feelings in Cambodia, Vietnam & China and I believe Russia has the same potential! Best wishes from the States, my good man!🙂
Would you like to live in Moscow? Would you prefer to visit?
Love to visit it but probably couldn't because I got no cash, cheers from Vietnam 🎉

The most amazing aspect of Moscow, is how very clean and orderly everything is, and most wonderful of all is no ugly graffiti anywhere. Truly a place where the citizens are very proud to be residents of Moscow.
there is grafitti. not as much as in US, but its there. I see it every day
It’s so true. When I come to Moscow from Vienna which is absolutely marred with graffiti, it’s such a pleasure to walk there, such a huge contrast. Moscow is impeccably clean and not only in downtown Moscow but in other districts as well.

Moscow is a spectacular city. I admire your independence of mind and spirit.
Moscow is a fantastic city. I have been there twice. Any American considering moving should start the process today to become part of a culture that values traditional beliefs.
A law that says if u beat your woman up u get a 4000 Ruble fine. Some values
Traditional values like racism and homophobia. Evil.
Your videos are quite interesting. I'm 76, retire, and living near Chicago. If I was in my early 20s, I might consider Russia as a place to live. It's safer, cleaner, and devoid of the moral corruption and cultural rot that infests the USA at all levels.

Russia is a country of opportunities.
@@hansschwartz1480 For self-realization of a person. Have you watched the video? New horizons open up for a person, new opportunities appear. A person's opportunities are not necessarily money. First of all, it is self-realization and self-development. Money is only a pleasant bonus or a consequence of these opportunities.
@@hansschwartz1480 Many young Russians are leaving Russia en masse only on the pages of Western propaganda newspapers. Just as I have repeatedly read reports that there are no men on the streets of Russian cities. This is nonsense and a lie.
But of course, this phenomenon partially existed, two years ago. But these people left Russia not because of a lack of prospects and a lack of opportunities, but because of their political views and mobilization. But now more than 70% of these people have already returned to Russia.
What came first, the chicken or the egg? For some reason, for you, self-realization is first and foremost money, and only then develop with this money. But Russia is turning the card table upside down. First of all, morality and soul, and material goods are in second place. First, a person realizes himself, sets new goals, does not see barriers, spiritual uplift, a new outlook on life, a change in worldview, development, and only then money, as a consequence of all of the above. Russia is a country of opportunities because there are all the ways for a person to realize themselves, and if after that a person can earn money, then that is a big plus. Russia is about morality, soul and non-material benefits of a person, and Western civilization is money and a material worldview.
Russia helps a person to develop
But if you want to talk about material benefits in Russia. Then in Russia now there is a big shortage of specialists in any industry, because the Russian economy is growing and there are not enough people.

@alexvlasny9755 Hello troll say hello to the failed West
I visited Russia and Moscow for 2 weeks this July. It really is a great country and people should see it for themselves, before they make up their opinion on it. And Moscow is a beautiful city.
Point 4 stood out for me. I'm 60 now, and wish someone had said that 30 years ago. Never too late though.
Yes!
I used to work in Rosyth dockyard 1981 to 1999 and remember all the crap we were told back then. If you were going on a visit or holiday to a non approved country you were grilled rotten and warned about being approached by shadowy people ready to extract secrets that were bad for Her Majesty's defence. Propaganda still embedded in the population to this day, despite the fact that our government are more dangerous to us than we'd ever believe. I've seen enough to know I'd rather live in Russia than experience the decline that's headed our way in the UK. Much as I love Scotland I'd be willing to leave it if the opportunity was available.

Foreigners find English speaking people speak too fast to understand- your words flow easily when you speak in your mother tongue, no matter the language 😁. The good thing about social media is that we're uncovering the lies we've been fed for far too long. A Polish YTuber I'm subscribed to wants to move to Russia too.

Shout out to Brooklyn! (Native Brooklynite here). There is a very large Russian population in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
Great video today!!
There are almost no Russians in Brooklyn. They don't move there. The Russian speaking population in Brooklyn are Jewish immigrants who immigrated from the USSR (Mostly Odessa, Ukraine) back in the 1970s and the 1980s. Their children (who also still speak Russian) were mostly born and raised in Brooklyn. These Jewish people have nothing to do with Russia or Russians, neither culturally nor in terms of ethnicity. The dialect of the Russian language that they speak is also very different from Russian spoken in Russia. It sounds very funny and weird to any Russian.
In recent years there have also been a lot of Russian speaking immigrants in Brooklyn from other republics of the former Soviet Union, like Uzbekistan or Tajikistan. They also have nothing to do with Russia or Russians.
Now, if you want to see real Russians from Russia in the US, you need to go to Miami (Sunny Isles, Hallandale, Hollywood and Brickell). That's where most real Russian immigrants are, especially from Moscow. Boca Raton, FL also has a huge Russian community. The second largest concentration of Russians is San Jose, California, because of the IT industry. Also, Russians usually live among Americans in most major US cities, like in Seattle, Chicago, Austin, Charlotte, Tampa, San Diego, etc. Many Russians do not live in the Russian speaking communities in the US.
@@elena79rus …… sorry, but I have to disagree. I was born and raised in Brooklyn and now live on Staten Island. Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay have a huge Russian population - almost 90,000, hence the nick name of “Little Odesa”. The large Jewish Russian population lives in areas like Boro Park, Williamsburg (the largest Orthodox Jewish population in NYC), and a few areas on Staten Island, plus huge communities in upstate NY. The Russian Orthodox (Christian) have been most recently been coming to Staten Island within the last decade or so. My neighbor and his family emigrated from Russia to Staten Island about 20 years ago. At the time, none of them spoke fluent English, but their sons integrated smoothly into the school system here and have gone on to very successful jobs now with NASA. They are Russian Orthodox (Christian). The Russian population on Staten Island is slightly less than in Brooklyn and as far as I know, there aren’t any Orthodox churches on Staten Island, but several beautiful cathedrals in Brooklyn. Actually, according to the latest population data for 2024, New York has the highest at 357K, California is second at 354K and Florida is third, with just about 2/3s that amount (196K). Anyway…… the point is, Russia has often been depicted as some dark, nefarious, unfriendly-to-outsiders place by the media, but recent videos by Russian citizens, as well as non-Russians living there now, show a very different place - one of law and order, strong family structure, rich culture etc. it is looking very inviting, especially as we see life here in the US take a sharp turn away from traditions and culture as it heads to more woke agendas at warp speed. My husband is of Lithuanian decent, and I taught in a Greek Orthodox school for many years, so the Russian culture, having several similar traits, has always interested me,coming from a totally different background of NY Irish/Scottish/Sicilian 😊 ~> which is why I follow several channels here.
I moved to the UK from Slovakia in 2011 and I like it here. People are friendly and welcoming as long as you respect the British culture. My parents are in Slovakia and they are more than happy living there. They have their own house with a big garden, which is the most important thing for them as a retired couple in their early 60s. Maybe I will move back when I get old, but for now, I am happy here in the UK. I love that I can spend time in both countries. I like how busy the UK is (population of Slovakia equals to 1/2 of London), you can always find something to do + the architecture, museums, the way of life, the people, but I also enjoy the mountains in Slovakia, proper 4 season and how laid back Slovaks are. Skiing, hiking, mountain biking...it's another level and I miss that sometimes, so I visit often. Speaking of Russia, I would love to visit one day. Since they introduced an electronic visa to Russia, it should be a bit easier now :)

well said. Choose the life you want and go for it!
Greetings, mate. Russian is a very very difficult language and the russians are well aware of that and are not very demanding like the french, for example, it goes by itself that it's very very hard for a foreigner to learn it even on a basic level. So the only important thing really is the idea and the vibe when you try to comunicate to people in a foreign language, the grammar and the pronounciation really don't count that much, the only important thing is comunicating intelligent ideas with a good vibe, the rest is details.
P.S.
Learning english for years and then listening to a scottish person speak english and not being able to understand a word, not even where a word starts and ends was a real shock, lol. So I feel your pain about coming to Russia and having problems understanding the locals that speak not quite like at russian lessons at a language school :) Really good content, nice job!

Thanks for an interesting video.
The more I travel then the more I realise that people’s needs the world over are basically the same.
There have been many very large and dramatic wars on our land in recent centuries. This changes the mentality. On the one hand, we have seen many times that you can only save yourself together, you cannot survive in a big trouble alone and you need to help those who are nearby. It is a shame not to help.
On the other hand, Russians can become very unpleasant people if you really anger them and become an enemy. Friends and enemies are real concepts in Russia.
In addition, the ancient tradition of helping a foreign wanderer is still strong in Russia.
I think in western countries people don't really make friends and stay away from others as much as they can to avoid ratting on non existen things so they use small talk instead. And if they make friends it's because they've decided you are their personal slave, not because you are equal. Friendshiping in west is a lottle bit mad.

Люди в Москве автоматически начинают говорить быстрее, даже если приезжают из маленьких городов, где речь и ритм жизни более размеренный. Я это на себе испытал, поэтому с уверенностью могу сказать, что это так.
Когда возвращаюсь в свой город - мне требуется некоторое время, чтобы моя речь снова замедлилась.

@@ipand1011 быстро потому, что расстояния большие и всюду надо успевать. Это не связано с энергичностью молодых людей. Это влияние среды.

I heard Putin passed a bill allowing foreigners who are unhappy under Western neoliberalism to move there. Do you know anything about this? I would love to move to Russia!
The monument to children victims of adult vices is an interesting one! There was a lot of controversy when it was just erected, as tradition of monuments with negative connotation was almost nonexistent in Russia. Local residents didn't like the monument and told it was ugly. I like it though, I think the artist was genuine in expressing this idea.
This is my favorite monument in Moscow. I am a local resident. 😁
It would be interesting if they let blogger through the fence and allowed us to film the monument up close.
I know what you mean. I can imagine a child asking what this monument means. It lacks innocence and it could be taken both ways. I think the best thing about it, is that it sends a clear message to parents.
Спасибо тебе за хорошие слова. Всех благ!

Hi, I can only echo what you say about the Russian people: warm and kind, and within their family (I am married to a Russian woman for nearly 30 years) most caring and empathetic. I am German, we are (still) living in Germany - and quite a few of the German people are just the contrary…keep posting your nice and informative videos, that help to educate those who were never ever in Russia!
It's definitely noticed about the image of people. Thank you
Have YOU of the concept called "The Quality-of-Life Index"? In the USA the major cities have a declining Quality-of Life Index as I have experienced it in Philadelphia and in Louisville. Luckly with my wife and myself having the wealth to escape those two cities we NOW live in Eastern Tennessee and our quality-of-life is NOW back to what it was when I was growing up in Kentucky. I can see that Moscow has a high quality-of-life for those Russians who can afford to live there. About the language, I see that there are portable language translators or apps you can have on YOUR AI equipped phone. The new Samsung phones have apps that can translate in real time the spoken words of Russians into English and that is what someone can do if they lack the ability and the time to invest in learning to speak and understand a new language. Being a retired person who has just moved into a new community I would love to come and visit Moscow and stay for a year and find out how the Russians in Moscow live. I can already tell that I would love to explore the Moscow Metro and its cultural sites.
loved those swings you passed by

What an interesting mesaje of that monument!
That detail with the tree where people can put their lockets tells you something very important. I always thought bridges look messy with all those lockets on them, which is not pleasant for the eye and breaks the aesthetics of the outside environment. Simple solutions like that just make a lot of difference, because you want to walk around clean and nice-looking streets and bridges. Seeing that clean environment itself educates people to respect it, kids see clean street they will never trou their garbage outside the bin. This respect for the environment and the people surrounding you is very much gone in Western countries.
Cleanliness is the easiest and cheapest way to make any city look better
Thank you for the video.
Brilliant video. Did similar but from Edinburgh to Madrid. Don’t regret a single thing.
At the end of the day, what matters is how better off you feel. How far does your money go, how safe and clean are your streets, how much trust and friendliness do you feel from strangers, and how inspired by your surroundings you are, and how much access do you have to things that make you materially better off - Moscow offers it all. Sure, the West can offer every material good possible, but compared to the other factors, that's basically all it can offer.
