I like Konstantin. After the invasion he was the first guy I went to in order to learn about what was going on. He is so genuine and open to learning about Russia. He is really good for Russia: a voice for sanity
I like him too, he looks like a good man. The problem i have is with his vision of russia’s future. He waits for a follower of putin’s like he is to be delivered from another planet by aliens. The russian people in his vision have no agency of that whatsoever. In my opinion, until the russians will exit that state of deep unpolitisation in which they currently are, no good thing will ever come to russia. It will be a long and probably very painful process, but i do not believe there is another way
I want everybody to know that you tube demonetized Konstantin's videos without giving any explanation. If you can help him in any way do it. His work is outstanding and he's relentless in his efforts even putting his health and wellbeing in peril
He produced soft Russian propaganda up until February 2022. After having his 'Russia can do no wrong - it's just misunderstood' bubble burst, he will still deny Russia's responsibility for Crimea and the war in Donbas, the invasion of Georgia, Chechnya, Georgia again, and Moldova... If you ask him, he will say that WWII started in 1941. He denies the Soviet Union being Germany's ally and invading Poland together in 1939. He has heard about the Soviet Union invading Finland but doesn't understand the context (The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). In other words, he's still Russian.
Russia wins the propaganda war because so many in The West refuse to accept that Russia is entirely built upon lies and its operatives are incredibly good at creating believable propaganda.
Dear Konstantin. 2½ years ago we, your RUclips community, were very worried about you and constantly advised, or begged you, to leave the country. One day we got very worried. There was no live stream from you. The next day a big stone dropped from my heart - you were in Uzbekistan. I do believe you got out just before the window closed. I still feel relieved. After some time you were able to be united with your family. My prayers for you and your family. Warmest wishes from Denmark.
What a lovely story, isn’t it fantastic how people can support other people far away in another country and especially in times of crisis? There are definitely some benefits to social media. We can build communities of people who actually care what happens to other people fighting the good fight. 💙
@@Footmnch Yes, social media lets us build communities across the globe. The ruskies work hard on disrupting it in various ways, and unfortunately they're very good at it, but that should only make us working harder in strengthening those our communities.💙💛
Now I watched till the end, having at first only watched the 1st half. What an extraordinarily exciting, informative and insight-giving conversation. Pyotr's good yet sometimes naive questions, and Konstantin's precise and honest answers, at times surprising me though I've followed him since Mid-Febr. 2022. I find this a 'must watch' conversation, I'll bookmark it and recommend it to others. Thanks for this guest, Pyotr, I can't wait for parts 2 & 3.

Wow great interview! I've been subscribed to Inside Russia for about 2 years. Now.... just subscribed to Pyotr Kurzin. 👍 Konstantine really speaks from the heart with honesty. You can feel it. I pray this war stops sooner than later and that Ukraine and Russia both one day will be fully intact , sovereign , free , and Democratic nations who will help each other progress as partners alongside my country of America and all of the Democratic countries of the west. No country is perfect and America definitely has its problems and past sins but I pray that Dictatorships and totalitarian governments and war will all soon dissappear from existence on this Earth. Every nation helping each other? That be great. I also pray for Konstantine and his family to remain safe and not followed by strange KGB looking fellows. 🙏 🤲 🙏
I followed Konstantin when he was still filming inside Malls and around Moscow in Russia with his friend. Happier days. Much, much, much lighter and happier days.

HOW is he making a difference? He is an armchair protestor who rants anti-Pootin rhetoric that his -foolish- western audience loves to hear = sends him money That makes him a russian grifter. He isn't donating to the heroes and defenders suffering and dying inside Ukraine. I ask again: HOW IS HE MAKING A DIFFERENCE?
Have watched a couple videos with Konstantin. Found him very thoughtful and interesting. Great info on his background, family, move to Uzbekistan, etc ... Was always curious about his story and relationship to Russia.

I really appreciated this conversation! It was great to listen to the two of you talking. I watch both of you regularly and I'm learning so much. I'm very much looking forward to more of this! Thanks guys 🙏😊
Wow, I follow Konstantin already for years. From before the war started and you were able to get some extra info. I respect Konstantin very much. And I immediately subscribed to your channel also. Keep doing a good job. Nice interview, thumbs up.
Konstantin has been waiting for this penultimate moment for a long time now. Hopefully he can restore the integrity and spirit of his country with the help of his conversation, insightful journalism and advocacy.
Thanks for the podcast with Konstantin, yes I subbed to your channel and have watched Inside Russia for years. You have had some great guests on your channel, so thank you. All the best
So nice to meet Konstantin in this context. Thank you Pyotr! I follow Konstantin on his channel "Inside Russia". He shows us that moral will cost if we truelly want to follow our inner moral.
The person from Crimea who was sentenced to an extended prison stay for a single sentence they posted online 10 years ago, I think, to live in Russia, you have to say, "Politics and war are none of my business." That is what I have heard people from Moscow say in interviews. I have heard people from the Russian Press say, "I don't want to go to prison" followed by a way of saying, "No comment" How crazy that whole countries live under that type of oppression!!!
Great interview. Quality discussion. Superb insight as always from Konstantin. If you keep up this standard of content, it will only get better for your channel. I hope so!!
I dont believe anyone could tell us more insightfully about russia than konstantin. Nobody knows more about what is actually going on. This huy is brilliant and i watch his eye opening videos regularly.
Konstantin's storytelling is extremely valuable for an English-speaking audience that only hears American right wing talking points. If he could go on all the US bro podcasts, I believe it would change hearts and minds about Putin's Russia.
👍 Good conversation. & Konstantin is a good guy. Been following his channel since before the full scale invasion.. I remember how scattered he was as he realized what was happening..🙄
That was such an interesting conversation; thank you for inviting us to hear it. I feel such empathy for K about his feelings towards Russia. I had the same mix of disappointment in and anger against my home country. To answer one of his questions, why were so many compatriots brain- washed but not him? In addition to the answers you two came up with, I found these to explain my case: my parents raised me to stand up & speak out; I spent 2 years post-varsity studying in UK & France, as well as living for another two in countries neighbouring mine that had different systems; when I returned to my home country, which I had loved so much, I tended to look sideways at it, not entirely trusting it to be as beloved as before. Last two factors: I make decisions much more according to how I think than how I feel, so instead of just falling back into being a loving, loyal daughter, I considered, weighed up the different factors; I was put into a position where I was brought face to face with the discrepancies, the moral choices before me were not anything I had sought out. And then I was scared, scared I would cost my husband his job (in a very pleasant & high quality bubble), & scared I'd be picked up by the security police & imprisoned. It was all making me sick. Sooooo...we left.
Heartfelt! I don't know where you are from but it's always good, when you feel you have a tribe, a family of F similar experience. It's good to feel less peculiar, especially when you realise morality on your side!
When cycling through central Asia the most hospital country was Uzbekistan. I was sick suffering from a bacterial stomach flammation I got in Turmenistan and a family in beautiful Samarkand took me in for a week so I could recover. I fondly remember their hospitality.
Very well produced. Starting with snippets of talking points is a great way to suck in the viewer. I've been watching Konstantin's channel since the war started.
KONSTANTIN IS A MOST HONOURABLE AND INFORMED PERSON I HAVE WATCHED AND LISTENED TO SINCE THE INVASION OF UKRAINE BY RUSSIA. HE IS THE BRAVEST AND DEAREST PERSON WHO HAS HAD TO REINVENT HIMSELF PROFESSIONALLY AND HAS LET THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FOLLOWED HIM INTO HIS LIFE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING HIM ON YOUR SHOW. HE IS SUCH AN ASSET FOR MORE PEOPLE TO HEAR FROM HIM.
Thank you, I thought that was really good. Philip Ittner backs up what Konstantin says about the general Russian attitude to the war, so it’s great to have a Russian Expat confirm. I enjoy Konstantines show too.
@@MichaelS-t8k take note that Pyotr believes that Russians support the gen0cide because they are brainwashed. Konstantin rightly contends that they have agency. A deplorable position merits a harsh rebuke.
@@MichaelS-t8k I take a harsh position towards the apologists and supporters of war criminals. Criminals have agency, which was Konstantin’s point of departure from Pyotr. If Konstantin is wrong, humanity is doomed.
I’ve followed Konstantin over the past 3 or 4 years now, I too like him and appreciate his opinions. I would like an interviewer (maybe you Pyotr) to ask him outright how he would like this Russian war against Ukraine to end, whether he supports the “west” aiding Ukraine in an attempt to win against the aggressor, whether NATO should become involved, whether some sort of Ukrainian capitulation agreement should be reached, whether Russian “liberated” territory should be given up, whether Ukraine should insist on reclaiming Crimea, so, so many questions I haven’t heard anyone ask him. God bless you both, and thank you for your insights. Personally, I’ve thought from the beginning (let’s say from 2014) that the “western” coalition (not necessarily NATO but whatever) should have stepped in hard and put an end to Putin’s erosion of eastern Ukraine. Our lack of courage and action has led Putin to think that we don’t care anymore, and the “western aid” in sanctions and military support of Ukraine (little and late though it’s been) has come as a shock to Putin. I want Ukraine to win their freedom or at the least a just and fair settlement (but that is sadly a fairytale) Slavă Ukraine 🇺🇦 Love and greetings from a Brit in voluntary exile in Romania (for 24 years) ❤️🇷🇴
Thanks for having Konstantine on you show Pyotr! Konstantine is such an asset for valid information with very regular updates etc. And he is also a nice & humble person!
Konstantine is a must to listen to with his no BS talk , he brings hope that at least one Russian & his family are wide awake to the reality of whats happening inside Russia . He presents a great show akin in quality to Jake Bro both a must hear on life & consequences of this war for Russia huge mistake in invading Ukraine .
this guy knows russia well. He knows the corrupt system russia is. you need to bring him back repeatedly to really give us all russian side of this conflict. Bravo on having him as a guest learned so much for this guy
I am British, born of a Czech father. I am approach 70 years old. I do not recall there ever being a time when Russia was not a problem. Where "problem" is actual existential threat. You know, Cold War, nuclear threat, Cuban crisis, tanks rolling into Prague in 1968, people being killed trying to escape the iron curtain all the way through to annexing Crimea and Donbas and now the full out war in Europe. My Czech father was born in 1914 and would tell much the same about Russia. He had to send his new British wife back to England after WWII and escape hiding in a good train when Russia moved in shortly after the war. I sometimes wonder when was that happen time when Russia was aligning with the west, building a democracy, space stations and all that. It was such a short time I seem to have missed it in my busy life. It all very sad. I too have always thought it would be great if Russia and the west got on and worked together. Great for Russia, great for the world-. And why not, Moskovites are ethnically and culturally similar, they are Christians and so on,. Which over decades always led me to the same thought ""what the hell is wrong with Russia and Russians that makes them so broken and bad".
There was a short time just before the wall fell or after during a period of "glasnost" and "perestroika" where there was enough camaderie and professionalism in the soviet air force that they allowed some British Airmen to visit their country. The story is told on the BBC but after that the veil of suspicion and imperialism descended.
@@MichaelS-t8k Interesting. Sounds like those stories of British and German troops ceasing fire and coming out of their trenches to play football on Christmas Day. Sweet but short.
You may not know about this. While serving in Germany in 1968 due to the Russian moving into Prague. Our forces thought that it was an invasion towards the west. We actually moved the nuclear missiles to their war time location, that's just how seriously we took the threat. As luck would have it nothing happened. We were escorts for the missiles and as a 18 year old frightened the life out of me.
I agree with Konstine. Each of us been to make a decision to be aware of what is really happening around us, to pay attention to to what is going on and how it is affecting us and how we are affecting it. We can avoid the society around us, form a bubble around us and avoid everything that makes us uncomfortable. The alternative is to be aware of our surroundings and be responsible citizens and try to improve the world around us. I suppose there is a third alternative where a person makes the choice to be aware, but does so to find advantages for ourselves, rather than the people around them. Only one person alone can make one’s decision to choose how one will live life, that, of course, is the individual.
Thank you, I thought that was really good. Philip Ittner backs up what Constantine says about the general Russian attitude to the war, so it’s great to have a Russian Expat confirm. I enjoy Konstantine’s show too.
I follow Constantine inside Russia for a long time….it’s good to get an inside perspective…..it’s not the Russian people its their leader Putin….there needs to be massive change in Russia.
Konstantin - a new kind of underground railway... in good company Harriet Tubman and many of her fellow conductors. Be safe and blessed for your deeds.
I like Constantine. No nonsense reality. Having more people like Constantine and you as well Pyotr is what Putin fears the most. The fact the KGB is posting and following James Bond style means you could replace Putin with ease yourselves
A very interesting talk between two very informed people. Thanks for bring up so much that isn't talked about anywhere else. Russia is much more than just an enemy they are a country of conflict and a history of many different leaders who were so destructive to the Russian people.. Somehow this must be overcome if Russia is to every be a country that learn that war isn't the best policy and conquest only leads to never ending suffering.
Konstantin is a great guest and you two do well together. Thanks. I highly value what Konstantin says about BOTH Russia and America. He has helped me to appreciate my country as I tend to take it for granted. Sincerely, Pete

Thank you, I thought that was really good. Philip Ittner backs up what Konstantin says about the general Russian attitude to the war, so it’s great to have a Russian Expat confirm. I enjoy Konstantines show too.
Thank your for having this guest
Contrast the naive positions of Pyotr with the wisdom and credibility of the excellent Konstantin.
Very clearly different
harsh but that is your opinion, which starkly contrasts my own; c'est la vie
@@MichaelS-t8k take note that Pyotr believes that Russians support the gen0cide because they are brainwashed. Konstantin rightly contends that they have agency. A deplorable position merits a harsh rebuke.
@@MichaelS-t8k I take a harsh position towards the apologists and supporters of war criminals. Criminals have agency, which was Konstantin’s point of departure from Pyotr. If Konstantin is wrong, humanity is doomed.
Excellent video & Guest K. I have been following K. (Inside Russian), for over 2 years. Excellent YT channel, I highly recommend it!!!!
Awesome, thank you! Comments like these make my day 😎
I’ve followed Konstantin over the past 3 or 4 years now, I too like him and appreciate his opinions.
I would like an interviewer (maybe you Pyotr) to ask him outright how he would like this Russian war against Ukraine to end, whether he supports the “west” aiding Ukraine in an attempt to win against the aggressor, whether NATO should become involved, whether some sort of Ukrainian capitulation agreement should be reached, whether Russian “liberated” territory should be given up, whether Ukraine should insist on reclaiming Crimea, so, so many questions I haven’t heard anyone ask him.
God bless you both, and thank you for your insights.
Personally, I’ve thought from the beginning (let’s say from 2014) that the “western” coalition (not necessarily NATO but whatever) should have stepped in hard and put an end to Putin’s erosion of eastern Ukraine.
Our lack of courage and action has led Putin to think that we don’t care anymore, and the “western aid” in sanctions and military support of Ukraine (little and late though it’s been) has come as a shock to Putin.
I want Ukraine to win their freedom or at the least a just and fair settlement (but that is sadly a fairytale)
Slavă Ukraine 🇺🇦
Love and greetings from a Brit in voluntary exile in Romania (for 24 years) ❤️🇷🇴
thank you gentlemen, you both have really good channels, great that you have collaborated here, cheers from Canada.
You are so very appreciated in the UK Konstantin. Keep up the fine work. One day you will be free to return - God wiĺling.
Excellent show. I have been following
Konstantin for 3 years
Thanks for having Konstantine on you show Pyotr!
Konstantine is such an asset for valid information with very regular updates etc. And he is also a nice & humble person!
Konstantine is a must to listen to with his no BS talk , he brings hope that at least one Russian & his family are wide awake to the reality of whats happening inside Russia .
He presents a great show akin in quality to Jake Bro both a must hear on life & consequences of this war for Russia huge mistake in invading Ukraine .
Great guest. Thank you.
I remember when K had like 150k subs...

Thanks Konstantin. How I wish more Russians should watch your channel.
I’ve been watching Constantine since he loved his country. He’s a good man.
this guy knows russia well. He knows the corrupt system russia is. you need to bring him back repeatedly to really give us all russian side of this conflict. Bravo on having him as a guest learned so much for this guy
I am British, born of a Czech father. I am approach 70 years old. I do not recall there ever being a time when Russia was not a problem. Where "problem" is actual existential threat. You know, Cold War, nuclear threat, Cuban crisis, tanks rolling into Prague in 1968, people being killed trying to escape the iron curtain all the way through to annexing Crimea and Donbas and now the full out war in Europe.
My Czech father was born in 1914 and would tell much the same about Russia. He had to send his new British wife back to England after WWII and escape hiding in a good train when Russia moved in shortly after the war.
I sometimes wonder when was that happen time when Russia was aligning with the west, building a democracy, space stations and all that. It was such a short time I seem to have missed it in my busy life.
It all very sad. I too have always thought it would be great if Russia and the west got on and worked together. Great for Russia, great for the world-. And why not, Moskovites are ethnically and culturally similar, they are Christians and so on,. Which over decades always led me to the same thought ""what the hell is wrong with Russia and Russians that makes them so broken and bad".
There was a short time just before the wall fell or after during a period of "glasnost" and "perestroika" where there was enough camaderie and professionalism in the soviet air force that they allowed some British Airmen to visit their country. The story is told on the BBC but after that the veil of suspicion and imperialism descended.
@@MichaelS-t8k Interesting. Sounds like those stories of British and German troops ceasing fire and coming out of their trenches to play football on Christmas Day. Sweet but short.
You may not know about this. While serving in Germany in 1968 due to the Russian moving into Prague. Our forces thought that it was an invasion towards the west. We actually moved the nuclear missiles to their war time location, that's just how seriously we took the threat. As luck would have it nothing happened. We were escorts for the missiles and as a 18 year old frightened the life out of me.
It’s the way they are brought up. Selfish and power hungry, no place for anyone else. Once a leader gets into power it’s all about him.
Moscow is not Russia but you can see it from there
You are a bridge thank you!
Subscribed to Inside Russia and look forward to hearing more from Konstantin, to whom I also wish the best of luck and success.
I agree with Konstine. Each of us been to make a decision to be aware of what is really happening around us, to pay attention to to what is going on and how it is affecting us and how we are affecting it.
We can avoid the society around us, form a bubble around us and avoid everything that makes us uncomfortable.
The alternative is to be aware of our surroundings and be responsible citizens and try to improve the world around us.
I suppose there is a third alternative where a person makes the choice to be aware, but does so to find advantages for ourselves, rather than the people around them.
Only one person alone can make one’s decision to choose how one will live life, that, of course, is the individual.
Thank you, I thought that was really good. Philip Ittner backs up what Constantine says about the general Russian attitude to the war, so it’s great to have a Russian Expat confirm. I enjoy Konstantine’s show too.
I follow Constantine inside Russia for a long time….it’s good to get an inside perspective…..it’s not the Russian people its their leader Putin….there needs to be massive change in Russia.
❤Konstitin is THE MAN!
Constantine seems like a decent guy but the war actually started in 2014 when Russia took Crmea and then sent liitle green men into donbass
Nice conversation!
Glad you enjoyed it! Drop it a share if you like
Konstantin - a new kind of underground railway... in good company Harriet Tubman and many of her fellow conductors. Be safe and blessed for your deeds.
A very brave family to uproot in very dangerous times.
It would have been more dangerous to have stayed.
Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent podcast. Informative.
Very informative views and opinions
I like Constantine. No nonsense reality. Having more people like Constantine and you as well Pyotr is what Putin fears the most. The fact the KGB is posting and following James Bond style means you could replace Putin with ease yourselves
Konstantin made a very important point: Building bridges for the time after Putin, when peace comes back. Thank you Konstantin
Konstantin is a great man!
A very interesting talk between two very informed people. Thanks for bring up so much that isn't talked about anywhere else. Russia is much more than just an enemy they are a country of conflict and a history of many different leaders who were so destructive to the Russian people.. Somehow this must be overcome if Russia is to every be a country that learn that war isn't the best policy and conquest only leads to never ending suffering.
100%we care & love you for all you do in the best point of truthful & honesty for all gods goods ,blessings to you and your family members.
Konstantin drinks proper tea 🙂
. . . and finally: it wasn't only Putin but also many/ the majority of the Silowiki/ upper class who supported this sad and bad development . . .
Konstantin is a great guest and you two do well together. Thanks. I highly value what Konstantin says about BOTH Russia and America. He has helped me to appreciate my country as I tend to take it for granted.
Sincerely,
Pete
