    This video was shot 4 weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. I am devastated by what is happening and my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this war. If you want to help, my friends ‪@YesTheory‬are currently in Poland and have started a GoFundMe to help Ukrainian refugees with food, water, and necessities. They have already raised $500,000, and 100% of proceeds are going directly to help save lives: Donate here: bit.ly/3N5jQGJ
    Okay, now onto the description of the video... Riding on the Trans-Siberian Train has been a bucket list adventure for me for as long as I can remember (8 years?). The train starts in Moscow and then travels 10,000 kilometers Eastbound across Siberia until it ends in Vladivostok. I was lucky enough to catch Trans-Siberian train for a 30-hour leg - from Irkutsk to Novosibirsk - and it was one of the wildest travel experiences of my life. Even in the middle of winter, where temperatures were around -30C, I couldn’t believe how scenic the views were out the window. It felt like a dream!
    On the Trans-Siberian train, I met two incredible characters - Gregory (the train conductor) and Sacha (the drunk passenger) who I shared the entire experience with. I will never forget this train ride. It was the journey of a lifetime, and I can’t wait to (hopefully) finish the rest of the adventure someday soon. Siberia is truly a remarkable place. Thank you for watching.

      You are right. Alas, Russia is so much more than just Putin and the Kremlin. Russia is also citizens who support this war and pretend there are no war crimes or just enjoy those crimes. Russia is also soldiers who didn't reject to invade in another country and to shoot in civilians. Russia is that pilot who droped bomb to theatre in Mariupol where mothers was hiding with their children and where word "children" was written in the backyard. Russia is teachers who explain in schools why war against Ukraine is good. Russia is journalist who continue to spread disgusting propaganda. It's so much more than Putin and the Kremlin indeed.

    I was in Ukraine at almost exactly the same time as you were shooting this video in Russia. I'm still in a semi state of shock after recent events. I'm still comprehending how lucky I am to have made it out at all and in one piece; some of my friends and family weren't so fortunate. I love both these countries and the people dearly. I'm struggling for words honestly, but I'm glad you enjoyed Russia as much as I have and that you can see past the agendas of governments and see the majority of people as wonderful individuals like yourself, who don't want any sort of conflict.
    Stay safe Drew and everyone, wherever you are. Hope all's well.

      I agree. Imagine if it was any other drug. The disconnect in the way people almost promote drinking too much and think someone whose drunk is great entertainment do not gel with the reality of life with or as an addict of any chemical. The way the media portrays drinkers and drink and advertises it frequently make life more of a challenge for anyone who is struggling with a substance use disorder. Thankyou for picking up on the problem in your comment. Any substance issue is not fun , not glamorous, only makes life miserable and still the image of the successful , sociable drunk are foisted upon us daily. It is insensitive and can be triggering for anyone trying to remain sober. For those of you fighting the good fight keep it simple and just for today!

    Thank you for helping the people of Ukraine through this video. I am Romanian but also 25% Ukrainian, living in the US. The Transsiberian was my No. 1 bucket list item but there will probably be at least a decade or who knows how long before I can make it come true. Putin starting this war is the most horrible thing contemporary history could make us face. 😞

This ain't selection you have to talk about all the war in the world weather the news address it or not well im just to get a point across and dont take this is a harsh manner but sometimes think of the things which people dont car about to get them to start thinking of the innocent lives being lost around the world not just in one specific spot ( UKRAINE ).

    I took the second-class Trans-Siberian train in the summer of 1998 with my friend Mario and we had four people in the cabin, a Russian Navy captain Alexandr and his 13-year old daughter Maria. 9,219 km, 6 1/2 days, and a complete delight. We made friends with the bottles of vodka we brought. We learned a trick, chase vodka with a pickle or a cucumber and it mitigates the harsh vodka taste. We had no showers at all in second class and there was a drought in Vladivostok when we got there. A minder, or a Provodnik, kept an eagle eye on us the whole time, especially a the stops. He made sure we did not stray too far from the train. We did manage to sponge bathe at each of the stops.

    By the way, I have a recommendation for you, once this war is over and it’s safe to travel to Ukraine again, you should spend like a week in western Ukraine, there there’s a lot of really nice places and a very European vibe. I would especially suggest the Carpathian, city named Lviv and city named Ivano Frankivsk. There are also many beautiful old castles around the place. Just a idea though.
