What don't you like about Russia? Survey of Russians
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Join us in Vladivostok as we hit the streets to conduct a candid survey on the perceptions and concerns of Russians about their own country. We asked the tough questions: What aspects of Russia do you dislike, and how do you think it can be changed? Why do some believe that authorities aren't making necessary changes, and what options do people feel are left when everything seems to be deteriorating?
The responses are diverse and thought-provoking. Some delve into global issues such as the conflict in Ukraine and express concerns about the political climate resembling a dictatorship due to perceived limitations on freedom of speech in Russia. Others share personal struggles, while a few find nothing negative to say about their homeland.
Uncover the complexities of Russian perspectives as we explore the majority's grievances with Putin's policies and the deteriorating conditions across various sectors, both economic and cultural. Is there a common ground, or is Russia a nation divided in its views? Watch to gain insights into the multifaceted opinions shaping the narrative of modern Russia

First dislike is that russians have stolen hundreds/thousands of Ukrainian children.
Second is that they invaded another country for no reason and seem to be murdering/bombing/marauding/looting indiscriminately.
Other than that I have no problems with russians.
“we will be friends with Ukraine in the future” Which future? The alternative one? They will remember what you have done for generations. They'll write books about it. They'll erect monuments. They'll never forget.
I wonder how much of such wishful thinking Russians have. Ukrainians becoming friends again, fixing relations with any of the Western countries, having any sanctions lifted... all that while Russia keeps stolen people and territory.
normal ruSSian stupidity
Nor will the rest of the sane world!🇺🇦🇬🇧
Not you not Ukraine don't need friends like you😡
Don't care
Haha, guy in black hat a badass, who did putin bring up from it's knees, his friends? :D
Bravo, keep doing your Videos!
8:40 Right, and I believe in Santa Claus. 🧑🎄😂
I don't see the point in scolding the authorities, so it's about us, about our mentality.
You should ask what Russians think about convicts and ordinary soldiers returning from the war. Are they afraid of an increase in crime?
There is no limit to perfection (but Russia comes close). What a model citizen. 😂
Millatchi ruslar
the thoughtful woman at 5:35 "Russia has not developed in recent years in any way". No more a concise description could have been spoken. Of all the things she hated most it was the cruelty to animals.. She is ok with the cruelty to humans domestically and internationally?
Russian political apathy astounds me.... to their credit self preservation is a powerful tonic
Then compare to west cancel culture, woke and repressive freedom of speech, stopping presidents candidates ie; Trump, no border security… problems LBGTI and gay martigras where the parade offensively….kids see all these weirdo as if public display pushing bounds is normal, think Russia is doing good for citizens.
Countrys politicans are representing the people. People are complaining about those politicans. In this case weak, scared people that only follow one man to the grave.
Reminds me of amerika, Trump leaves Biden moves in and not a damn thing changes, have you noticed that or is it the sheer hate of somebody that you never met in your life just because CNN said sooo???
Nothing changes because people are not even trying. Voting is important! It will have an affect eventually.
No, Russia’s problem is far past just being solvable by voting somebody else in. Who? The regime won’t even let people like Nadezhdin to candidate, let alone true opposition.
Organised resistence, general strike, unification of the scattered opposition and demand for reformation. That’s what will work, like it worked in our, Central European countries in the late ‘80s.
But for that, the nation must be united. And that’s the problem-Russia simply _isn’t_ one nation. Russians are merely people who happen to live in Russia. What do Moscowites have in common with Buriats? Chechens? Etc… And so, I am, unfortunately, very sceptical about reformation of the Russian state.

For that to be true, you have to have elections. Instead, Putin (like most other dictators) just makes a circus of 'voting', that gives an appearance of elections. But no independent candidates (opposition leaders get killed, imprisoned or have to run from the country), no free press/TV and election campaign in them, no rallies allowed, no critique of the ruling party, no safeguards against ruling party adding ballots for themselves, or reporting whatever voting data they want. So trying to change anything by just voting in Russian 'elections' is about as smart, as going to a movie and believing that acting on the screen is reality.
He is a dictator. Election is not an election at all, its all propaganda
What a "funny" joke at 09:55. There are some thinking russians after all.
Russia became a fascist state and people are still willing to vote for Putin. That's pretty disgusting...
It seems that a lot of Russians don't know what fascism or Nazism are. They've got this picture that's been painted into their heads for years, including every May 9th, that Nazism is what the Red Army defeated in 1945, so by its very nature, Russia could never become Nazi. That's why it's so easy to convince them that the Russian regime is opposing Nazism rather than embodying it. They simply can't see what's in front of their faces every day.
Israil - the fascist state
"Russia has the right to suppress political movements in other, sovereign nations." Nazi thinking abounds in Russia, where older citizens seem stuck in some Hilterian parallel universe.
Hey, SS went to KGB (NKVD) school in 30ies. When you combine 1917, 1932-1933, 1937, 60-80ies you get way way beyond 10 mil ppl dead. It's the root of hitlerian universe!
I keep trying to imagine,,I'm a Russian and I live in Russia.
How fucked up could my own mind be, and would I be as pro Putin as these ignorant old people?
Scary.
Over the past 50 years, America has invaded everywhere and suppressed the thinking of many peoples.
🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️no comment!🇺🇦🇬🇧
Even russians who recognize the problem have been completely suppressed. I know its easy for me to say living in a country with such freedoms but at some point the dangers of not resisting hsve to be worse than the dangers of resistance.
Some of the units sent to the war have a 95% mortality rate. It's beyond me why they don't turn their guns on their commanders.
Excellent interviews. Well done. Where was this? One person implied that it was Vladivostok
Yes- in Vladivostok (:
You can see in the description, right next to the date of publishing and view count, there is a geo tag as well.
Looks like Kiev in Ukraine lol lol
Power to the people.
Yes but people need Help to learn how they can hold Power in their Hand...for ever. It's hard Work to stabelize democracy for everybody.✌️
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini!
Ok
Regarding animal cruelty, then Russia keep saying that they are fighting for Christian family values and against the evil of the West, but at the same time Russia is one of few countries in the World where bestiality is legal, and the Russian top brass all seem to be adulterer, not being true to their wife.
Welcome to Russian hypocrisy, its way more hypocritical you'll ever encounter in the west. Moreover, many top billionaires and some politicians in Russia are open gays. "Law for thee, but not for me".
Wow, that's deep!
Bestiality aside, look up "станции притравки собак" (ИТС) - hope you get triggered badly enough that you stop leaving inane comments for a while :-)
Totally random question, but does anyone have any idea why one guy was out in the street topless, when everyone else was wrapped up in their winter clothes? 😮
He had a Russian sauna hat on...
@@johanswede8200😂 If he'd just left a sauna, I hope he'd put some trousers on before coming out into the street 😂
10:27 I don't understand. She has to vote for the current President because she works for the government? The governmental powers and institutions are not (at least in western democracies) dependent on one person in power. The President doesn't own them. She is not obliged to vote for the sitting President.
Well, I suppose this is how it is now in Russia.😢
She knows she's not ordinary people. Not KGB aristocracy, but close. Putin is the guarantee 'siloviki' will get their unfair share. She is 'silovik'. Would you ask same question for SS officer? There were probably some secretaries within SS structures too.
I think dear lady Ukraine 🇺🇦 will hate Russia for a thousand years.
Ukrainians will hate the US, which dragged them into this war
Never seen so much self censorship. I’m going to vote for the same president that’s been in power for the last 20 years because I want change……Brilliant! Well he did change to his credit…..changed the constitution….laws ect.
I am happy for every Russian who can relieve himself, even outside his home. But please don't do it in Ukraine.
The girl complaining about holes in the road...she could donate some of her lip filler......
You're obviously envious of her beauty! I bet you don't have sugar daddy, unlike her too.
No worries, all is fine, elections with no choice, no problem, no demonstrations they're not allowed, don't want to get beaten up by the police, no problem, I'll just stay at home.,.........
Intervention from outside? Perhaps the Russian legion within ukriane.
Starting to look like north korea light.
People thing everything go better ...no, all money go to war. Now we see how long Russian money enough.
4:26 - To ask "what have pensioners ever done to increase their pension" is pretty funny to me. Well they've worked most of their lives, i guess.
(i don't want to throw any shade on that women and even support the sentiment of silently complaining doesn't do much, the sentence is still baffling to me... and maybe it was just lost a bit in translation.)
I am sad that Russia exit to be honest…
There is clearly a wrong focus in the Russian politics.
Would like to go and see Moscow and St Petersburg looks really nice just don't mention the war or politics and think you would be ok.
Please can you ask about how many Russians they think have died in the Ukrainian war.?.
That is what i heard from Tucker Carlson. You have the best outdoor toilets. The US has nothing like it 😮
Chickens🤢
The fish does rot from the head down......
And Russia has now been rotting for 25 years....
Imagine how amazing Russia could of been with a real democracy running the country and doing everything for the betterment of Russia and her people...!!
Modern day dictatorship, it will be interesting to know how people will look at this in long future. Russia has one of the biggest intellectual minds, very well educated nation but still, one man managed to take the all country to himself and take control over every aspect and decisions. He become so powerful that he cannot be challenged without serious consequences ( jail or death).
They should vote for me. I’m not Russian but have just as good of chance of winning as Putin’s hand picked opponents lol
Vladivostok isn't sending their best
I'm begging Russians, please don't help Eastern European countries ever again!!!
???
@@totomorenodosal !!!
Its not what Russia is its what Russia and the world should of been
I've heard that Mr Putin doesn't like your videos. 😉
in china also: toilet outside!
Мне не нравятся люди в России! Посмотрите на Американца Джастаса Уолкера, приехал в Россию, с условным 1 млн рублей, все на себе строит, создал хозяйство, трудится, радуется жизни.
А нашим лишь бы на жизнь жаловаться. Стоит дедок, в новой куртке, чисто одетый, красивая улица! И все ему жизнь не нравится. Ох бля.
Russian literally look like some devil warrior
Lol
Why did the American Nazis invade Syria?
In this Valentine’s Day, let’s remember the difference between Hitler and Donald Trump: Hitler had a wife who loved him
Antipathy of Romeo and Juliet ! You are crazy !
Recycled bits
4:30 он заявил свое несогласие с таким положением, а ему власть затыкнула рот, так понятна мысль?🤨
10:47 ну оно и видно по физиономии
After Nadezhin wasn't allowed to run there really is nobody yo vote for. All who are not benefitting from current government should boycott it so he will see how much support he got before they fix the numbers.
@@mikatimonen5449 well, now that the results are all in - what do you think? How did the boycott work?
@@knopkaplay0507Well the queues shows that there is opposition that don't show in the results as the ones counting the votes made the numbers look good. It worked as a marker the elections wasn't democratical. More like a one man show.
@@mikatimonen5449 well, if the queues at the voting station I went to are any indication - he got a lot of support, and the "boycotting"/protesting crowd was predominantly non-Russian, so their votes wouldn't have counted anyway. I'd say I don't have reasons to believe Putin's results at that polling station (around 60%) were inaccurate or tempered with. And that's in Washington, of all places.
@@knopkaplay0507 In Stockholm Russian embassy all had Russian passports but almost all didn't vote for him. Perhaps they are no longer Russian since the moved abroad? Or since they they didn't vote for HIM? There were proven tampering. Like in a Belgorod district where he got all votes despite all voters had been evacuated 😀 Then how do prove that digital voting wasn't tampered with without reading the code that was run on the computers. But the biggest reason for not being a free democratic election isn't the counting of votes. It's lack of free media and lack of real oppositional candidates.
@@mikatimonen5449 well, speaking of Stockholm syndrome :-)
What were the results for Stockholm, out of interest? How many people actually managed to vote? How long was the wait?
In DC the vast majority of protesters were Ukrainian, plus a sizeable group of white-blue-white Russians who held a 3-hour concert with the stage right at the gate. They didn't vote (boycotted), and by the end of it
directly confronted the people waiting in line to vote. For me it was more of a curious thing to do, simply Tom see what voting was like abroad - my preferred candidate was not in the running, so my plan was to vote for Slutsky - but watching this crap storm as captive audience for 2 hours ultimately made me change my mind :)
I see many homeless young people in London ! I see many flower spots of murðered young people in London. I see many drug addicts and alcoholics in London ! Totally neglected and rejected, pssing away silently ! And more yound people going that way in the capital of UK . .
and your point is??? No homeless, drug addicts and drunk people living in Moscow? Or New York or Bombay??? Do you live on a different planet?
@@lococholo2857for your brain it is impossible . CIA and MI6 have the apparatus to rid the woorld of drug pandemic instead of engineering velvet revolutions .
@john7267. Re IMF 2024 Russia ranks #12 in total GDP. Having a shitton of Oil doesn’t make Russia a great economy-it just makes it an economy with a shitton of oil. Russias projected growth despite massive stimulation through military expenditure is expected to decline to 1.1%. (Feb 7 2024). More tellingly in terms of productivity per hour (2019 data from “Our World in Data”) Ireland 🎉is #1 with $125/hr; US is #6 with $73.70/hr and Russia is #42 with $29.55/hr😢. Of course, most importantly would be distribution of GDP/person. That’s a long study as it’s not so amenable to averaging.
I don't know how many there were in queue but when asking who they would vote for 9 out of 10 said any other than grandfather khuylo or blank. Rest said him or said it was secret even if wasn't. Anyway they Putin supporters were suprised over the long queue. I wasn't there that day but media didn't report of any protestors. Might been a few but the protest was really going there to vote by giving them the finger. And why would Ukrainian disturb that?
I think there are about 30k Russians in Sweden. I would guess only a few thousand went there. Many didn't care as their vote wouldn't matter anyway. Some others had to far to the embassy. My Russian gf despite we live walking distance from the embassy didn't vote simply because she never want to have something to do with that country ever again. Besides she don't have a valid passport. As many Russians she has relatives in Ukraine and she don't think they are nazis
@@mikatimonen5449 wait... 9 out of 10 - but you were NOT there that day, so... How do you know?
As to Ukrainians - there is a group of UA supporters that have been coming to the embassy every two weeks for two years now to protest. That same crowd arrived on the day of the elections, plus a group of very vocal wbw people with mics, music, stage, and all. None of them went into the embassy to vote. As a result, 63% for Putin. So how did the whole "giving them the finger" work, again?
@@knopkaplay0507 That is what the journalists said and interviewed people said. Of course if they asked only 10 the real number might be different. One can never know for 100% sure anything not even if self there. The ones doing the counting knows the real number. From valid ballots there might been 60% for Putin but how many were invalid? What some in the queue said they would do is to write Navalny, Khuylo Putin or something else on ballots. The finger was to the ones doing the counting as I understand it.
And how do you know it was 63%? Were you there doing the counting?
@@mikatimonen5449 no, I was not there during the counting - but I had volunteered as "independent" observer at Russian elections before - so I know that, armed with the not-so-secret ID number of the precinct, you can look up all the pertinent information (including, btw, the exact number of invalidated ballots). I might be wrong - it's been some time now, - but I think it was 63% for P., give or take.
I don't doubt that in other countries, especially the ones hosting the bulk of "relocantski" crowd (Georgia, Serbia, Armenia, Kazakhstan) the results might have been different.
Anyways, it was a fun experience ...Good weather, good conversations, some decent people watching.
I'm now planning another trip back - will try to get there around the time of US elections to take a look at proper democratic procedures:-)
@@knopkaplay0507
@knopkaplay0507 Yes you can surely look up official statistics but without beeing there you cannot know how data is created. So how many votes where invalid officially among votes abroad?
What I wonder is why patriots live in unfriendly countries and helping their economy instead of their own?
And what changed since you did see the process is digital voting. Read about voting districts in Duma elections where one oppositional was leading but when digital voting was counted it was suprisingly United Russia candidate that won. How is the digital voting system checked for beeing correct?
But then again it is not only the voting process that decides if an election is democratic or not it is the whole country's system with laws, media, freedom of political parties etc. that matters.
I don't consider USA a full democracy.
@@mikatimonen5449 what are you saying, though? I was at the voting station, spent some 2+ hours waiting in line, had plenty of time to talk to the people in line, hung.out in the embassy as I cast my ballot. The official results for that station do not surprise me one bit, so I have no reason to believe the results were tampered with - ergo, I don't need to know how data was created, etc, etc. Do you have reasons to disagree with the results? Then I'd say the burden of proof is on you.
All I'm saying is that the boycott didn't work, and also that the whole experience made me respect our oppositional figures a little less.
WE ARE RUSSIAN NOT PUTIN REZYM. WE ARE LOVE ALL PEOPLES IN THE WORLD. WE VERY SAD TO ALL CRIMINAL ACTION PUTIN REZYM. SORRY TO UKRAINE, GEORGIA, BELARUS PEOPLES. 🙏
Their poor situation can be explained in the following points :
1) Russia is still paying the consequences of the collpase of URRS. After the fall of the Berlin's wall an aggressive and gigantic privatizazion campaign was performed following the neoliberistic ideology. Thanks to the privatization the Oligarchs became very rich and powerfull instead the population became very poor. Putin stop this privatization campagin of the State and started to collaboration with the non american alligned Countries.
2) 90% of the russian economy is based on oil,gas,carbon,rare metals and military weapons. Most of the money is spent for defense since Russia is fighting against NATO since the 1950 so many Countries against only one. Iran is in the same situation since is fighting for its freedom from the american tyrannic and neoliberistic Empire. Moreover the russian economy will prospere and diversifies thanks to Putin and thanks to the collaboration with the BRICS Countries.
3) Russia is under sanctions form the West.
4)The West is falling apart, in particualr Europe. At the moment life in Russia is difficult but the future is bright because the BRICS will dominate the World. German economy for example is at the end, life in USA or in Canada is a nightmere.
Nationalists
Путин молодец! 90 процентов россиян поддерживают своего Президента Путина! Россия, вперёд!!!!
According to the IMF Russias economy is not in decline. In its annual report on the world economy Russia is likely to move up from fourth place to fifth place in the top ten economies of the world with a projected growth of 2.6% the best in Europe. Britains GDP projected to be 0.5% . The IMF is not a western media outlet dispensing propaganda
Because they use 60% of their budget into making weapon and equipment for the war. Their wealthfund is almost empthy, going into the war. Its not sustaniable at all. In the short run it will boost but it its draining russian economy in the long run. War is expensive. People die, people move to other countries. Soldiers goes mad an gets back into socioty, the effects will be bad in the long run.
Diversion of a third of your productive capacity from the private sector to a brutal, genocidal war does not represent an improvement of real GDP.
