    I`m from Poland.

I myself come from a small polish town, where it looks very similar. People mind their own business, there is local exchange based trade, everything is very peaceful.I love watching such vids, because it shows that common people are not that different from each other.

    I lived in Russia for 10 months in 2022-2023 and loved it. Although I was in St. Petersburg and Moscow, most of my time living there was in a Siberian town. I found Russians to be well mannered, calm, really intelligent, funny, polite, and sincere. Some places are super modern, others super old school and 'country'. I like that it is not a 'woke' society, that they are sensible, and that the prices are more than fair....cheap even. The only thing that I personally didn't like, was typical Russian food. But, there are always places to eat out that are from other countries (Chinese, Thai, Italian etc). I would totally live there again. *Edited to add that most of the world actually did not sanction Russia or call them the "bad guys". Only about 40 countries sanctioned them. Much of the world outside of the West love and respect Russia and Russians very much.

      When my wife and I were on holiday in the Maldives in November 2022, we met a wonderful young couple from Portland, USA. The guy's name was Michael and his girlfriend was Sarah. It so happened that our houses on the ocean were nearby. In our numerous conversations, I did not notice any hatred towards us, I did not notice the arrogance that the ruling elites of the United States have, they are very pleasant and adequate people, we answered them in the same way. We talked a lot, they told us about their lives, we told them about ours, one day our conversation led us to the topic of Ukraine, I said to Michael: Michael, I listened to everything you say about this conflict, and I want to tell you that you know absolutely nothing, it’s difficult for you to figure it out listening to all this nonsense that CNN and BBC are pouring into you 24/7, in order to understand this conflict you need to understand Ukrainians and Russians, know their mentality, know how we lived in Soviet times and after the collapse of the Soviet union, what role the West played after the collapse of the Soviet Union both in relation to Russia and in relation to Ukraine, there are a lot of subtleties that cannot simply be ignored, February 24, 2022 is the tip of the iceberg. We did not return to this topic again. We laughed a lot, danced, drank a little :), we just had a wonderful vacation in the company of wonderful people. We invited them to come to us in Moscow, and they invited us to theirs too. I always wanted to go as a tourist to the USA, see the places where famous films were filmed, visit different cities and communicate with the people who live there, I’m sure there are a lot of good people in the USA, in Russia we are always happy to have such people. I wish everyone happiness, good luck and peaceful skies.

    I've travelled from St Petersberg to Volgadonsk to Sochi and many towns-cities inbetween. The Russian countryside is beautiful.
    If you decide to move here, Please try to learn, at least speaking Russian. I am going through that learning curve now and as an Englishman, it's not easy but to permanently live here you must 1st pass the RVP 3 yr temporary visa which involves audio, written and conversational questions.
    Got my test very soon and if i pass, then at least i won't need to leave Russia every year to obtain a new Visa from Britain via the Russian Consulate.

    What about the American economy? I come from a Russian Armenian family. We’ve moved to USA Florida back in 1994 to be close to our family. I love America and the essence of the country is patriotism, love of freedom, Christian western values. However lately things have been drastically changing in the negative direction. Everything is much much more expensive, and I mean everything. It’s getting very hard for regular everyday Americans to live in America. Also let’s not forget the massive social degradation, and all of the degeneracy that’s being pushed on the public here. Russia seems to be a better place for conservative Christian Americans, because We are currently experiencing a spiritual war, and Russia is one of the biggest players in this war, a war between nations who stand with God and those who are godless. Russia definitely stands with God. I was born and raised in Russia Rostov on Don, and every one there grew at least part of their food, everyone had a plot of land or multiple plots of land which they have utilized for growing food

I moved to Vladivostok Russia after retiring from 41 years of service to the American government as a former Marine and Department of Defense Army employee with over 30 years being stationed overseas in various countries. I can honestly say that out of all the countries I have lived and worked at, the Russian people are the only people to have welcomed me with open arms and have helped me to navigate the In's and Outs of living in Russia with only being able to speak a little bit of Russian at the moment. The only threats to me are coming from my own country and the west with their sanctions, particularly with the banking sanctions in getting my retirement pensions into Russia. Thanks to my Russian friends, I am able to do so 😊. I have made Russia and Vladivostok my home. I love it here. I stay busy volunteering to try and give back to the Russian people a fraction of what they have given me. ❤

Can also use crypto. No issues with owning or buying property in Russia. Naturally there are laws about foreigners owning land in Russia but it's possible as I own my house and the land it's built on.

    To explain. i'm a 62 year old Brit living in the UK but we emigrated to Western Australia in the early 70's and lived in Forrestfield.
    These videos show that present day Russia is like it was in Oz in the Early 70's.
    By that I mean everyone trusted everyone.
    Everything was brutally raw but exciting (You'd die if you wandered off the beaten track carelessly) with wooden delicatessen huts along the highway in what appeared random places.
    Nobody judged anyone. Were all in this together.
    I loved it (Life takes some funny twists and turns) but I've come to realise that here in the West we really do live in the Empire of Lies.
    All my life I was given the impression that Russia (USSR) is the bogeyman but if the conflict in Ukraine has done anything it has lifted the veil of deceit from my eyes.

Moscow was a bit iffy, still ok but the outskirts of St Petersburg, I probably was invited inside more peoples homes than I have been anywhere else. Spending the night at a friends Dacha and watching the wolves in the nearby woods in the morning was very special. Great memories of the place.

    I was just in Russia for a few weeks and this thing they say about more freedom makes sense. If compared to US or EU. A grinding bureacracy is eating up people's freedom in these places. Slowly but surely. The war on cash and privacy is one big thing that is happening in the West. Russian banks however don't treat their customers like potential criminals. The government does not seem to hunt black market money either, unless you are taking huge amounts. That's what some small business people said. They take a little on the side and then pay taxes on the rest so it looks legitimate.
    I could move for sure. Vyborg was a nice place. I like to fish and go out in nature. Moscow is interesting, but I think I am more of a dacha person. I should settle in the countryside.

      You’re totally right about taxes, it’s hilarious - Russians are very libertarian and try to avoid them despite their low levels. I think this is why on paper, Russians don’t make much money. But nobody I know makes the stated minimum salary.

    I spent most of the last 4 years in Russia, drove a UK registered car for the last year. Got stopped alot by traffic cops. Always showed my Irish passport before my car documents. Politely mentioning that we are not NATO members. Moscow cops can be a bit intimidating and more likely to come up with some kind of reason to 'fine' me.
    Spent alot of time in Kaluga, met good people, used to go to pubs & chat with locals (shout out to Rocket 🚀 Pub and Snatch Bar!)
    Moved to GB in April 23 and don't really like it, housing in Dublin is ridiculously expensive so now I'm moving to Spain this month. Would have stayed in Russia a few more years if the mother of my son (unplanned at least by me!) hadn't become a Banderite extremist (she was born in UA but lived in Moscow 20 years with RU nationality). She's been in Spain a few months now on her UA passport.
    Russians are our European cousins, Americans are not! (Although individuals must be judged on their own actions, not their government's)... We need to build business and cultural ties ASAP.
    I miss lots of things about Russia, especially the no nonsense, no smalltalk attitude of people. No BS talk about the weather or football, either we talk about real things or don't talk at all.
    I don't know if I will go back now that my son isn't there anymore and my best friend died (alcoholic relapse after years of sobriety). I have great memories that I will cherish.

    I love American down to earth curiousity when they travel. This town is actually called Pereaslavl Zalessky. It was founded by Rus colonists from the original Pereaslavl on the Dnepr. Zalessky means 'Beyond the forest' with reference to the lands in the north-east that were well protected from raids by the vast Taiga that streched all the way from beyond the Ural mountains. The church is called the cathedral of transfiguration of the savior, and is a UNESCO world heritage site, built from white stone in the classical Byzantine/Rus style. There were no quarries anywhere near these marsh lands so the stones had to be transported from far away at a very large expense, and by order of the princes directly.

    I live in a large city that has small town kindness between people and would feel comfortable almost any place in Russia because as the subjects of this video said, there is more personal freedom here in Russia than my native USA. I moved from northern California at the beginning of 2000 and after visiting 92 countries it was very plain to see that the US was in a downward spiral that has only accelerated. I have been more accepted here in St Petersburg than every in the US because the nature of the society here is to not judge people by any trait other than their character. It does not matter if one is any race, religion, politics, country of origin, career, or wealth, the only traits that determines whether one is embraced is character. I was successful in a wide range of activities and fields in California so I could afford to insulate myself from the extreme division and anger towards any thought or behavior but based on travel to less common tourist destination I could see the radical difference in aggression, division and hate that fills the collective west compared to regions of the world that the US targeted in its 273 wars, regime change and aggression all over the world. Dishonesty is the primary trait of US culture. It was not always that way, but since the many wars the US started in South East Asia in the 60s and then in the early 70s in the US where the middle class has been crashing ever since, when corporations and a few very wealthy people took over the policies and tools of government, the decline in quality of life has been steep and dramatic. It is not a happy or honest society. Propaganda and distortion is so intense in the US, people have gone crazy. That has filtered down to all the countries the US controls. Being in a country were people and the government is honest is a big change for Americans, Brits, Canadians etc who move here. Once you experience the genuine comradely and treatment as a valued member of the community, it is really hard to return to the US. I have only been back 5 times in 23 years and each time see an accelerating decline between visits.
    There are many differences, people are better educated, and more broadly educated, and FAR more cultured. It is hard to find a 10 year old who has not experienced great opera ballet visited world class museums, or drama. Those are important parts of the social and personal development in Russia. Culture is as intergrated into whole life as eating or spending summers at the family dacha that most families have regardless of their income. Most people over 20 own their home. They have no college debt or medical debt. No need for a car with excellent cheap clean safe public transport, very few debt contracts. The food is natural without chemical, or GMO, and reasonably priced. My sister still in California has 100 or more bills every month that would not exist here. She pays Concast $240 a month for slow internet and cable TV. Living in the suburbs, other than TV there is nothing else but fast food and chain grocery stores, and homeless everywhere makes ever taking a walk risky for an older retired woman.. I pay $6 a month without a contract, for 330mb/s fiber optic cable into my home, unmetered, and if I wanted 178 channels of TV I could simply pay $2 more. I do not even know anyone who watches TV because real life is right down the street or in the 600 parks in this city which has more world class leading museums than all North America combined. 230 drama theaters, 54 classical music theaters
    I have literally a thousand friends here and meet new interesting people every day just by walking from my city center apartment in any direction. Russian cities are farm more social and affordable to have a superior life which is not available at all for 99% of Americans. I have zero conflicts with people. I go out to clubs, rock, jazz clubs, cultural exchange events, daily or just walk in any direction and end up getting to know new people. I am older but well integrated into the entire age spectrum. Most of my friends are in the 18-40 age range, I am 74, because we share a more interests in common. The sexes get along, and genuinely like each other. There are not any of the 67 genders like in the US, you are male or female, and who who you are attracted to is your business, no one cares. Being gay is not a different class, it is simply who one happens to be attracted to so there is little or no concern to other. Most of my closest friends are women. For those who want to start a family, the services and assistance is amazing, everything is free, and long paid family leave can start in the first 3 months of pregnancy and young families are given grants to buy a larger home. Having a second child brings even more state benefits.
    There are 182 different cultures that make up Russia and they all get along.
    If someone wants to move to rural area they can get free land and they get clear title to it if they develop it in any way within a 5 year period. It is easy, fast, simple and cheap to start a new business. Without a doubt, raising a family is easier and far less expensive here compared to the US. Americans can't even imagine how free life is when you have no debt.

      Perhaps immediately after WWII, but for the last 30 years, there have been on average 2 school shootings a week in the USA, Since Columbine, basically.
      America might have been relatively "peaceful" within it's borders, barring the regular firearm murders every day up and down the country. But then, lynching blacks was finally banned, and the native Americans were already genocided. Leaving few people left to kill, except each other, which is frowned upon by a certain percentage of the population.
      They have, however, continued their tradition of murder and death and destruction and plundering ABROAD. But, as it's happing at an average distance of 10,000 miles away from American soil, and as the propaganda spewing plutocrat owned legacy media doesn't report it and the American government falsely imprisions those who try to (Assange), one could say that America is relatively peaceful, if one didn't know any better and just stayed in ones suburban Westchester community.

And at the same time, everyone, there are 34 churches, and some of them fascinate with their beauty.

However, if you have already touched upon the topic of war, in order to justify Russian citizens I would like to say the following: 1) yes, in Russia there are people who turn a blind eye to the war and justify it, but these are people 50+ years old who are susceptible to propaganda. 2) I relate to the younger generation and among my peers everyone has a bad attitude towards the war in Ukraine, primarily because ANY war is bad, since in ANY war people die first. When I write about this city, its peculiarity would have attracted me even before the war. One should not think that all Russian citizens support the war; the entire younger generation has long learned to filter the huge volumes of propaganda that come from both the Russian government and the governments of other countries. War never changes. What it was like 2000 years ago is how it remains, with its horrors and crimes against humanity on both sides, unfortunately this is human nature.

I met a lady at a clothes shop and there was a calendar with a bunch of putin's face & so on, I asked the store keeper about it which thankfully she spoke english and much obliged in answering my questions about putin, she said that he was a strong man that Russia needs & he's a handsome, good, & incorruptable president. She even shared a fun fact about cats saving parts of leningrad during the siege.
      At some point I'd like to travel to North Korea with a friend, more so because it'll be a funny story a interesting one.
