Those taxes are then sent to other countries and we don't even get scraps. Just look at the situation with the recent hurricane on the east coast.

    The huge plus of Russian laws and bureaucracy is that its all federal. So once you get a driver license, you are not required to exchange it if moving in another region.
    There is one tax code, one criminal code, one civil code for all the country, so you just cannot discover new laws and rules in each municipality, like in the USA, where each state has its traffic rules and so on.

      @@ivandemko3360 In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
      If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
      Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
      Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
      Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
      20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO
      NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
      We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
      Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
      Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
      Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
      Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
      Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
      Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
      Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
      Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
      Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
      There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
      The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
      Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
      Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
      The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
      The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.
      I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion.
      I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written.
      Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

    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

It resulted in allowing "Manteros" / "manteleros" to invade the commercial zones of Barcelona (killing business in the process). Ada Colau "allowed" the conversion of apartments into narcotic centers where drug addicts and drug dealers exchange goods also known as NARCO PISOS, Shoplifting and pickpocket was no longer a crime up to 400€ which only required a small fine. The criminals paid the fines and continued their crimes. Apartment squatters (OCUPAS) became protected persons which prevented owners from evicting the squatters FOR 2 YEARS which turned the apartment into NARCO pisos. So shoplifting and pickpockets funded the narco pisos which also housed the criminals which also kept the manteros protected. Barcelona is VERY DIRTY, VERY EXPENSIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.

      @@blackcat2628zd And what path should they have chosen? ;)
      They didn't have much of a choice. Total reflexivity. Putin did something, they responded, trying to preserve at least some relative independence and their choice of democracy, made back in the 90s. Inevitably falling into increasing dependence on the West (where Putin unwittingly pushed them), but this is the lesser of two evils.
      As is known, with Mr. Putin's rise to power in Russia and the establishment of his dictatorship there, the rebellious Chechnya was taken under control (Putin's first war). After which Putin turned his gaze to Ukraine. And decided to return Ukraine under his control. To put it in a stall.
      It is interesting to observe how Ukraine successfully wriggled out of it and resisted Mr. Putin, who has the resources of a huge country behind him. Economic and gas wars, diplomatic and political pressure, bribery and Kremlin agents of influence in Ukraine, and Kremlin propaganda (anti-Ukrainian and pro-Kremlin) did not help. Even the limited war with Russia in 2014-15 did not break Ukraine, Ukrainian society and Ukrainian elites. Just as a similar war broke Georgia at the time (which, out of fear, lay down under Putin). And even a full-scale invasion in 2022 (a war that Europe has not known since the Second World War) did not bring the Ukrainians to their knees. They are surprisingly successfully resisting, having lost only a few territories. Hats off. The Americans at the beginning of the war (in 2022) were sure that Ukraine would lose within a month. And they were very surprised by the result. xD
      ----------------------
      А какой путь они должны были выбрать? ;)
      У них не было особого выбора. Сплошная рефлексия. Путин что-то делал, они отвечали, пытаясь сохранить хоть какую-то относительную независимость и свой выбор демократии, сделанный ещё в 90-ые. Неизбежно попадая во всю большую зависимость от Запада (куда невольно толкал их Путин), но это меньшее из зол.
      Как известно, с приходом господина Путина к власти в России и с установления там его диктатуры, была взята под контроль непокорная Чечня (первая война Путина). После чего Путин обратил свой взор на Украину. И решил вернуть Украину под свой контроль. Поставить в стойло.
      Интересно наблюдать как Украина успешно выкручивалась и сопротивлялась господину Путину, за которым стоят ресурс огромной страны. Не помогли экономические и газовые войны, ни дипломатическое и политическое давление, ни подкуп и кремлёвские агенты влияния в Украине, ни кремлёвская пропаганда (антиукраинская и прокремлёвская). Даже ограниченная война с Россией 2014-15 годов не сломила Украину, украинское общество и украинские элиты. Так как сломила подобная же война Грузию в своё время (которая испугавшись легла под Путина). И даже полномасштабное вторжение в 2022 году (война которой не занала Европа с эпохи Второй Мировой Войны) не поставила Украинцев на колени. Они на удивление успешно сопротивляются, потеряв лишь немногие территории. Снимаю шляпу. Американцы в начале войны (в 2022 году) были уверены, что Украина проиграет в течении месяца. И очень удивились в результате. xD

      To be fair, Russia has a fairly soft fascist regime. It doesn't bother people. No more than in China. And if you don't do certain things that are dangerous to the government, you can even imagine that you live in a normal democratic country. In fact, many people in Russia simply ignore the existence of authoritarian power in their country. They don't watch TV or propaganda. And they live their own lives. There are many such highly developed people in Russia. ;)
      Although personally I prefer Ukraine. Kyiv or Odessa are my choice. These are two excellent Russian-speaking cities in Ukraine. But in a democracy.
      Справедливости ради, в России достаточно мягкий фашистский режим. Он не напрягает людей. Не больше чем в Китае. И если не делать некоторые вещи, опасные для власти, то можно даже представлять, что ты живёшь в нормальной демократической стране. Собственно многие люди в России просто игнорируют существование авторитарной власти в своей стране. Не смотрят телевизор и пропаганду. И живут своей жизнью.

And the total debt of all countries of Africa amounts to "staggering" 1.8 trillion $.
      Knowing that same let's say Japan has 7 trillion $ debt and about 230% debt to GDP ratio, USA had 34 trillion debt and rougly about 110% debt to GDP ratio, I felt... I don't know... confused.

    this is the first time I have come across your channel. I don't normally watch introductory videos like this, but I thought I would give this one a shot because I, although not Russian, am Slavic (Serbia) I was born in Serbia and came to the US when I was 3.
    I never gave my Eastern European roots much consideration, at least not until certain key events in European history during the late '90s and early 2,000's.
    Even though the US and its nato bloc slave states provoked, and then directly intervened in Serbia/Montenegro causing untold devastation and loss of life, I was able to let that transgression go, because after all, I am also an American and a Patriot.
    Then 1999 war came where the US plus the 29 other most wealthy and militarized nations on earth (i.e. nato) got together to attack my birth country and to steal about 40% of our territory. with this stolen territory, the US would invent a nation that never before in the history of the world has existed; Kosovo.
    fine.
    2014 comes and I get to witness the US and its slave states (the cold war era nato-bloc countries) overthrow the democratically elected government of Ukraine in order to install their own extremist (nazi) leader.
    this american puppet President in Ukraine would go on to slaughter nearly 60,000 innocent civilians in Eastern Ukraine. he would then quickly move to ban the Russian language. speaking Russian in public would land you in prison amongst many other xenophobic, bigoted, and racist laws all geared to attack and destroy Russian culture and the lives of the ethnic Russian majority of Ukraine.
    2022, February.
    Biden declares that it's Ukraine's right to join NATO and if the United States wants to place nuclear weapons on the territory of any NATO member including Ukraine, then it is their right to do so...
    this violates a whole slew of international laws and completely violates the UN charter. what the US and their nato-bloc slave states are wanting to do with Ukraine is illegal.
    February 24th, 2022 Russia declares a special military operation and a limited incursion into Ukraine in order to liberate the ethnic Russian people from the dictatorial and fanatical grip of the American puppet government in Kiev.
    Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    however the sad part is is that none of this was ever necessary. American hubris is the reason there are now around 1 million dead ukrainians that never even wanted to fight this war, and 1/15 that amount in Russian deaths (50K)
    to you, my Orthodox friend and brother, I wish you the best. I pray for your nation, the Eastern Orthodox Church and all of its national branches and for all the brave souls Fighting in this awful conflict that was forced upon the Russian Federation and her people, In Jesus name Amen.

    As far as I can see, we have war in Ukraine because US went to Ukraine, promoted regime change there (it happend 2014), and US didn't support peaceful solution to tensions that followed.
    It is possible that US intentionally wanted draw Russia to war in Ukraine in order to weaken Russia and promote regime change also there. MSM in the west tells that Putin is guilty, but if you study more you see that US has had central role in events leading to the war and in ruining early peace. Russia did 2/2022 just pre-emptive strike.
    It wouldn't have been first time when US has wanted to hurt Russia in war. It has done so at least in Soviet-Afgan War and in Second Chechen War.
    Although you didn't became diplomat you can still do something to fix the world exposing what is the truth. US has done a lot of bad things in the world and it is still lying and acting like insane. US have to chance and the war end.(btw I am finnish)

Dividing it into separate countries is something they desire even more, as it is even easier to rule over the divided people, and before that they were going to first completely remove Russia's nukes.

    Totally agree. I just came back to England from Russia abt 6 weeks ago. I had 3 weeks of depression. I wasn't just visiting Moscow. I went to st petersburg and to balakovo. Its on volga river. And it was great. People are stylish, helpful and the general atmosphere is that of good life. Towns are well kept and clean. And the whole place is digitalised very impressively. I can't wait to go back. Speaking russian really helps though, which I do. 😉😁

      Looking at your channel, you're obviously Russian yourself, so of course you bring on the positives sides. "Towns are well kept and clean. And the whole place is digitalised very impressively." - Honestly, what world do you live in? All the footage I've seen of Russia (instead of the olympic Sochi and Moscow) have been digitalized very poorly, the infrastructure has looked like from 1960-1980 era. You should visit a Scandinavian country and then compare it to Russia.

I came back to England and had 3 weeks of depression. The roads are complete crap. Holes and bumps everywhere. General atmosphere of decline. And i live in a very expensive village just 10 min drive from the centre of Bristol. Taxes are extortionate. Public transport is terrible. Food is ... well. Trust me. You cant even imagine how far ahead Russia is. The usa is even worse. I generally can't stand people, who judge places without ever being there. Like yourself 😁

Evidently you have already made up your mind... basing on some mofo footage 🤣🤣🤣. UA-cam is fool of blogs where foreigners show lots of locations. On my part, I have a house in France. In a village about 3.5 hours drive south of Paris. Roads are still OK there but all the villages around degrading. Shops are closing down and buildings are disintegrating. In fact, I bought my house in a derelict state myself. By the way, I needed a cup for extractor hole in the roof. A particular one. I couldn't find it in france or in England. I found one in a diy shop in Russia. And not in Moscow of St petersburg, but In Balakovo😁

    If you're coming from New York or Chicago etc the winter is not going to be surprising at all. Very similar. In my experience as a Russian who lived in New York for 13 years, New York winter was harder for me to deal with than winter in Moscow because of the wind from the ocean and humidity in New York. That wind goes straight to your bones. 10 degrees Fahrenheit in Moscow and in New York feel VERY different, New York one feeling 10 times colder and uncomfortable. Russian winter is much softer to me because it's not humid and there is no ocean nearby🤷. Also flying 48 hours is a bit of a stretch I think. My flying experience with a layover (when it's not too long) is always about 20-24 hours. Time difference adds to it (+7 hours) but those hours you don't really travel, they just add on
