      He seems really broken like some soldiers after they get back from war, suffering from PTSD, trapped in their mind and needing someone to talk to about what happened, what they saw, what they had to do, etc. He seems traumatized by something that either happened to him or that he was forced to do. He seems like he might be in denial and trying to justify (in his own mind) what he was forced to do.

      I don’t think his experience of war is anything near what it is now. He has both his legs. As it is now, he would not get home intact during this war. He would be armless or legless or dead. That’s the only way unless you run.
      He has had 5 years to “take his sauna” and go back if that’s what he intended.
      And one other thing- Russia says it didn’t get involved until 2022. This man just made Putin a liar.

The Ukrainians were only stopped because of some stupid Western leaders forced them into accepting the Minsk Agreement, so they could cash in on their own deals with the Russians. What is going on now is because we didn't support Ukraine enough then. If anything, this is an unnecessary war, that should have been solved in 2014.

      I work at a hotel. There are lots of homeless people living around it, and almost all of the workers don't have their own place. They're shacked up with 2 or many more so they can afford rent.
      I don't know how they're doing it, but some families are getting money to stay at hotels. They're clearly on some sort of assistance, but not doing anything to better their situation. Taking full advantage of the hotel amenities, wrecking things, stealing hotel property.

    American here. I've lived most of my adult life in a rural area of California, America, which was so remote that I drove 45 minutes on a dirt road to go into town once a week to buy groceries and supplies. I didn't have much money but I didn't feel poor. So I think I understand these villages a little. There is some poverty in these Russian villages in terms of some older residents not having enough food or heat. But mostly the rest look like they are getting along ok. Their homes are not fancy, but they have all the usual appliances: tv, fridge, oven, hot water, etc. The main problems seem to be lack of access to jobs and medical care, social isolation, and no opportunities for young people. We have the same problems here in rural parts of America.

      Most have refrigerator like 30-40 years old, washing clothes with bare hands
      A lot of villages in Russia actually don't have gas, so they use cold water all the time. And so on.
      Yes, they used to such live, so they think it's enough, but only because they can't afford to travel somewhere else. Most of them perhaps even didn't see a sea in their lives, because it is too expensive for them to travel and spend a week in some places near the sea.
      Only the last person have not a bad salary, but only because he is a contract soldier.

      @@koreyardoin3695 I realize this isn’t much to offer, but you can try to get a remote (online) job to start. Seems like you have access to a computer and internet. Save up until you can afford to travel or move out of the area to somewhere you prefer and continue to build on your job experience from there. Don’t stay stagnant in an entry level position if you can help it and apply for positions even above what you may think you’re qualified for. Getting yourself into a company that pays for you to get a professional designation or license is definitely a way you can start. I took a financial, customer service position to start that allowed me to get my Series 7 financial license. Once I received that license, plenty of other, better paying job opportunities opened up from there. Many of the opportunities at that point are also remote jobs that will allow you to travel.
      Moral of the story is that you have to start somewhere, but keep building upon it.

    Now almost all of these people have passed away, maybe there are still people living like that in southern Italy. There are villages that lost all the youth, and ended up empty. Now you can buy those houses for 10-50k Euros, sold by the heirs who live in the town. If they are in a pleasant place you can make a B&B, but the rural lifestyle and minority languages die out very quickly and very easily.

      Do you also have permafrost there, polar nights - 60 Celsius and 11 time zones and an area of 17,000,000 + square kilometers? the problem of these villages is their remoteness from cities and the lack of full-fledged work in these villages, these places are very sparsely populated, there are villages where 30 people live, there are where 2000 or 5000 live, and at the same time they are mostly pensioners, therefore, in the understanding of a good life in the village, such a pensioner perceives the usual benefits, light, heating, water, products from the garden, personal household, the opportunity to buy fruits and other missing products, as well as the presence of minimal household appliances in the form of a washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven, kettle and similar things that are in every house in the city, in fact, these are people who do not work and live on money from the state and these money are enough only for food and clothes and things necessary in everyday life, those who breed animals, are engaged in forests, and the like. people can have a substantial income, but as a rule, it is already difficult for pensioners and they do not do this, they only keep animals for themselves in order to eat environmentally friendly solid products

    You know, I always feel sorry for these people. I am myself from Eastern Europe, it doesn't really matter from where.
    I didn't have a **very** bad life in my country, but I also couldn't get from one to two - for example, I could not afford my own home. I have moved to a Western European country. I've been living here for 12 years now. I work just as hard, as I did in my own country, but.... here I have my own house (another 8 years, and it'll be completely mine - in my country, I could never repay the bank loan in 20yrs...). I get a brand new car every 3 years (it's like a package that you need to subscribe to), this year I got an E Class Mercedes. So does my wife. She is driving a BMW 3. Our child gets everything that a child of his age deserves/wants. We have two holidays every year. And you know what? We're both simple workers. I work in a factory as a installer/repairman and she works in a warehouse, so no fancy jobs. Typical 8hrs/day job. I worked 12-14hrs 6 days a week in my own country, and I couldn't get 10% of what I have here.
    Anbd people, including some of my own family even, they don't understand what is it like to be treated fair at work, because they have never experienced the life I live in Western Europe. They can not even imagine, because all they can relate to is their own miserable jobs, where they are being underpaid and mistreated all the time. And I honestly feel sorry for them, for they are missing out on so many things in life...

Even the brickwork looked good. The exterior brickwork on the other house was well done, too, so it's obvious they have somebody in town or that comes to town that can build, just not much money to build much. The one house that the young guy rebuilt himself, with the log inner wall was quite nice, for that area.

Their washing habits are different to ours. People don't sweat as much in the cold anyway.

    I consider skid row poverty. My family grew up in houses somewhat like these on farmland in Texas. There’s extreme poverty in US and Russia. I just didn’t think this was a good example of that. Russian government should do more to get plumbing/water out to these people though instead of spending it all on two cities…That blue house the woman is speaking in front of is adorable. I’m not living in all that snow though…. If everyone was talking about the terrible snow ❄️I’d agree. Love your videos stay safe 1420 ❤

    GREAT episode. One of your best. Even if people did not say, what we (westerners) would like to hear. But the last guy is the typical Russian behavior I know: There's a public ME and a private ME. The public ME asks for the mobiks to come and not be afraid. The private ME looked, in view of his expieriences in UKR (2 or 3 times? What now), rather not so enthusiastic about his stay in UKR. But the way he treated the guests: Very welcoming. "Come in! Have a seat!" (to some "idiot" who comes from the big city with a camera - they can tell IMMEDIATELY by how you are dressed/behaving) and I am sure he also offered some tea. And a nice house. I have seen WAYYYYYYYYYYYY worse places in the country side that were sties! Also the lady on the street was very welcoming. And I liked it also that you showed that Russia consists of more than just Russians. Here: Chuvashs. THANK you.

    That last guy, Lyonia, seemed traumatized. A broken man. 💔 Maybe the answers he gave had been beaten into him.
    The way he humbly kept repeating the same things about not being scared of mobilization and him being just a simple village guy, that sounded like a forced confession under duress. Hopefully, he can move on from his experiences, without using alcohol to numb himself.

In 2014 he had a choice not to come, but he didn't mind earning bloody money for the renovation of his house. Destroyung Ukrainian houses to make his house better.

Him telling people there’s nothing to be scared of! Well, I guess if you’re not worried about being blasted to pieces all over a field then he’s right. A “normal” person would be quite worried about that. The elderly lady near the beginning was the only one that spoke honestly, in my opinion.

In that sense, it is much better than it used to be. I hope next generations will demand more than electricity, gas and a cow... Internet is the greatest thing that our generation got. I hope more people will learn how to use it.
