So do you think 2 130 000 homeless people is a big number for a country like Russia?
I read that 0.17% of all Americans are homeless, or about 1 in 600.
Russia has about 143.4 million, so the same percentage would be about 582,000 people. So, your number seems high by a factor of 10 or so. Of course, this doesn't account for societal differences between our country.
One homeless person is one too many. Great video.
It seems like people are homeless in every country for the same reasons. We have same issues here in US, except a serious drug and mental health crisis too. Current strategies to address the issues are not effective, as evidenced by a growing number of homeless people.
It is just a little less than 1 percent. I think I would also like to know the poverty rate. Do poor people from the republics come to the cities to find work and just become homeless?
Well, there are good things AND bad things about every society in the world.
Thank you for this video.
I live outside of Edmonton Alberta Canada. Edmonton has a real homeless problem like most major cities and we have long cold winters. So many of our homeless people live in tents even in -30 weather. Most homeless people do not choose to live this way. A lot of homeless people are struggling with mental health issues as well as addiction issues. Homelessness is a real problem around the world with no easy fix.
A gently observant comment. Perhaps an alternative lifestyle i.e. Kibbutz structure, would have a place for those people uncomfortable in mainstream life (clearly for multiple reasons), is what we are missing.
2:00. So the Russian government can't walk and chew gum at the same time? (Your population count sounds like our Census--also done once every 10 years. Subject to politicisation.). 13:22. We don't have "heating lines" in the US. Old buildings used to have steam heat, with radiators, but you don't see that anymore. Heating is mostly electric now. Stand-alone residences, like farmhouses, might have a propane tank and heat with gas. Electricity is generated by coal, nuclear, solar, and wind power for the most part. In a way, your homeless people are lucky that you heat with hot water or steam. I'm guessing the pipes stay somewhat warm.
in northwest there are manholes that are warm at night......used to also sleep behind the club pool at the back because theyd have heat coming out from the dryers via vents....this from being a homeless street kid out of foster slavery.
I thought you we're leaving Russia before it's to late as country's are shutting there borders to Russian ordinary people witch I think it's very silly as the ordenery Russian are nice people. Please take care in Russia.
I like your videos for the insights into Russia. It's very interesting hearing from a citizen there. Thank you for sharing 😊
Sounds like the US census, which is also done every 10 years.
Oh, the same timing! Maybe that makes sense from statistics point of view.
Maybe it is a Latin word? Census.
Here's something interesting I learned. We have records for all the censuses in the past in the US, I think. Except 1890. Something burned down and everything was lost. Fun. So who knows where my relatives came from...
@@StPetersburgme yes. Every household receives a form in the mail to complete and mail back. The census workers go out to the households that don’t answer. Census workers are assigned to poll the homeless people too. Most homeless people have some kind of mailing address to get their disability/social security checks!
@@StPetersburgme it's also every 10 years in the UK
The word homeless is very relative word in Russia because in many cases several generations live together since the younger generation can't afford housing. So technically they are homeless but still have roof over their head (until relatives get fed up with them) 😄
In the USA the homeless population has exploded. Big cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans are overrun with homeless people. Drug use is rampant. Sleeping in store doorways, defecating on the streets, begging for money, stealing from stores to support their drug habits. Most of them have Mental illnesses. The Party in power celebrates them, and says they have rights to do these things and disturb and basically terrorize home and business owners. The police turn a blind eye to this. The USA is a country in decline, WOKENESS is the main culprit.
There are homeless people all over Canada, sadly.
If you want, check Lauren Southern’s recent video on the profitable “industry” behind homelessness. Set aside what opinion you might have on her personally, it’s a very eye opening piece.
I live near ottawa and I the last 4 years the number of homeless has exploded. Drug addiction has followed the same trajectory.
In what was a safe and clean city now has people pooping on the street in sight of parliament hill.
Because the Government gives them money to buy Drugs.
Children in other Countries they call it "age out of the system",leave with little bit on there own,no housing just leave its awful & sure Russia has to be awful with the cold tempatures.
Imo the youth law should be told for ppl to know the Law to give them a chance.
Being homeless I'm sure isn't anything to be proud of. There could be abuse at there homes so who couldn't blame them & mental health might be part of thing's which they might be embarrassed to ask for help.
✌
You're back! Yea!
Yes, I'm finally back. However my voice is not very good sometimes.
@@StPetersburgme Keep getting better!
The homeless people in Russia would freeze to death as it gets very very cold in the Winter. Its a big shame. There are hundreds and thousands off people homeless in England well Milions. It's so sad to see. I think it's because off drug's or alcohol problems they won't pay rent just spend there money on the wrong thing's. But also young people run away from abuse at home by bad dads or man's. They are the ones that should have support to live a happy life.
Do you have churches that help homeless people? I know in a lot of other European countries it’s like this
Yes
The majority of homeless people in Russia have place where to live, but they just prefer to live out of society. Many of them have their apartments, many of the have their homes in rural areas and just don't want to live there, or just getting abandoned by their families cause they don't want to live a socially appropriate life. So it's more a question of personal choice, you and only you decide how to live your life. It's almost like if you ask Russians why their cities are so neglected, the answer is cause they decided to live this way to shift all of their responsibilities to local authorities or state in general and wait a miracle when someone will do everything for them.
Hello from India!
In the US population count is called census.
speacially children living in streets and sleepin underground is very sad.
People lose their jobs.
There are so many people whose first language is English, who cannot spell this word correctly.
Loose, which you would think is the correct spelling but it's not, is the opposite of tight. I think it is one of the most misspelled English words on the internet. And also "definitely." For some reason people can't spell that either.
Anyway, this is interesting. And it's nice to see you again. So much is happening...
Every few years we have a Census here in Canada. Age, number of occupants, etc..Not sure how many homeless we have, but I'm sure it has increased in the last few years. Sadly.
Our (US) Census in 2020, according to Pew Research, missed counting millions and was considered less accurate than the 2000 or 2010 Census. The proposal for 2030 Census is to use data our Government already has about people (which is extensive) and getting away from the filling out of forms and door to door visits from surveyors. The Census is of course critical to allocating resources. Thanks for the video.
Проверяйте информацию. Не доверяйте подобным "блогерам". Запомните главное, большинство так называемых "благотворительных организаций" на самом деле спонсируются с другой целью. Цифры так называемой "Ночлежки" взяты из головы, и намеренно выкладываются с целью дискредитировать власти России.
Министерство юстиции РФ опубликовало новый список иностранных агентов. Соответствующий реестр ведомства пополнили пять человек и три организации.
Среди них бывший руководитель благотворительной организации “Ночлежка” Григорий Свердлин и актриса Яна Троянова.
Homelessness is a global problem today, and it only appears to be getting worse. The social problems facing modern society only seem to worsen the situation. Mental illness and addictions only exacerbate the issues. The government in many developed countries spend a great deal of money to try to deal with the problem, but unfortunately the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In Vancouver, Canada millions of dollars per year have been spent funding societies to aid the homeless, with most of the money being paid to board members who have set themselves up as being the salvation that the homeless need. In the end human greed gets in the way of the good that could be done. Homelessness is only one concern that needs addressing to ease the plight of the street dwellers. Counselling, medical intervention, re-habilitation and other services need to be offered to attempt to ease the situation.
I hope that you are staying safe, and wish you all of the best in 2023.
If we extrapolate the Voronezh situation (and this is a middle province), it is clear that in fact there are no more than 30,000 homeless people in whole Russia. This is many times less than it was in the 1990s. (under Yeltsin), and even back in the 00s
Thank you, Ksenia. Very well done and enjoyed watching.
Thank you!
Только число либо ошибочное, либо ложное. На деле бездомных не более 30 тысяч.
Only the number is either wrong or false. In fact, there are no more than 30,000 homeless people.
@@StPetersburgme
If it's true, the number of homeless people in Russia is 130,000.Surely you can prove it with videos of people living under bridges .
Considering the number of apartments built during the Soviet Union(Right to housing), many apartments were even abandoned in small cities in Russia due to the decline in population.
11.000 Makes more sense .
If you want to see what real homelessness is like please come to new york or Mumbai India. And see the truth
I just think you are just amazing person. Dobspato Newcastle Upon Tyne. England. 😘❤️
So grateful to see you post a video, again. Hope to see more content, soon. Take care.
Homelessness is an issue in every country. It is good to see, that support for the homeless exists.
Winter is very harsh in Russia and the life of people that are on the street, as opposed to those that don't have a home but have accomadation to sleep in at night, seems impossible. Sleeping in pipes is something I saw children do in a tv program on Mongolia. I did not think that would happen in Russia.
I hope they don't round them up to go to the war and die being sent over no man's land.
Ok, so why is the writing on your shirt backwards? I looks like mirror writing. I've see this before... Яight? Do you see it?
This is how my phone films. On the T-shirt it is a normal writing 😀
Hello Ksenia, once again you have a gift of humor. You make people feel good and laugh. Keep up the good 👍 work
Ksenia I am an American and I always wanted to go to Russia and still do I love the Russian people and I feel the Russian people feel the same way towards us.
I hope to visit one day your country it is so beautiful from the videos and pictures I’ve seen.
Добро пожаловать. (Кстати, воочию увидите, что у нас практически нет бомжей -- на всю страну реально не более 30 тысяч (я экстраполирую из положения в Воронеже, которое знаю довольно точно).
Great video! You tell it like it is. Keep up the good work!
Good video ✋ bye Knesia
That's a strange way they count the population!
In Ireland a large size population survey is left to every house weeks before. You are to fill it out on a particular day. Anyone in your house that day is listed and pages for each of them are included. So if you are away from home in some other house that night you would be included on that household form but in the pages about you.. to avoid double counting people. In the following weeks the firm will be collected by people employed just for this census form delivery and collection.
However, I do not know how they count the homeless people. Those staying in a homeless hostel could be easily counted but those sleeping on the street ... I don't know how they are counted.
Hi from UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I used to live in London (now moved up North) and of course being the Capital it has a large population of homeless. Generally speaking, our homeless don't really want help, they want food, and warm clothes and blankets, but they like to move around from place to place, and they form small communites (friends) mainly "drinking buddies". Some have health issues, some have mental health issues, some are on drugs (heroin/crack/amphetamines etc).
There are Charities who help the homeless, the biggest of which is called "Shelter" and also the "Salvation Army" These organizations get grants from the Govt. to feed and help homeless, some provide beds for them, but they can't live there permanently.
Of course, there are some homeless who have fallen into this situation from different means, and Don't want to be homeless. There are many organizations who offer help, mainly to women with children. The Govt. 'try' to house them, but there is very little housing to go around. Especially now, as we have a large influx of immigrants coming to UK and being given hotel rooms to stay in. It is a difficult problem to resolve 😒😒
This was an excellent video. I'm impressed. You are really finding your voice. I've always looked forward to all your uploads, but I will even more now. I hope all your plans are going well. I'm truly excited about what you will create in the future, when your circumstances will be less limiting.
Hi Xenia very good info where we live on farmland capitol ontario kent is 500 people homeless we build small hotels for them ..kisses
Very good video, Xsénia! In fact, I notice that the problems that homeless people have are the same in all countries. In Belgium, there are also many alcoholics, drug addicts and also asocials who refuse to be helped and it is their right, they cannot be forced! In Quebec, I had met a social worker who told me that in Montreal it was impossible to die of hunger or cold unless you refused to be helped. In Montreal, they are so many teenagers homeless in comparison with Belgium, France and Spain. You could also investigate homeless women abandoned by their husbands. Again, Ksénia, congratulations for your investigation and ... your empathy.
Who is more "asocial"? The one who has to sleep under a bridge or those who don't change it?
Hi Xenia, can you estimate the % of females among Russian Homeless people ?
In the USA, about 40% of homeless people actually have jobs, and 20% of them actually work full-time, but don't make enough money to afford a home.
There is also a lot of seniors living in their cars or a van, following the warm weather. Arizona desert in the winter. They will cross the border to Mexico for affordable dental work, eyeglasses, & some medicines.
In provincial towns of Russia a minimal salary is about 200$ month. Not a lot of money, of course, but you can get a room for 50$. Rent is very cheap. Most of homeless guys in Russia just like that lifestyle
20 % of all homeless full time jobs?
Or 20% of the 40% that have jobs?
@@brianconnolly5649 my understanding is of all.
Ksenia, thank you for your video. I think the homeless in Russia have similar issues to the homeless in the USA. I worked as a mental health nurse many years ago, and a large percentage of homeless people struggle with mental illness. Most also have addictions, whether it be alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. I'm glad that Russia does provide food and medical care for their homeless population. This is also done in the US, although many do not utilize all of the services that they should. Perhaps the homeless people of Russia are more plentiful in warmer areas? If I were homeless, I wouldn't want to live in a cold area. I know that there are more homeless people in San Francisco and areas of Southern California where the temperature is more stable.
Thank you for sharing! Yes, I think homeless people around the world have the same issues and the reasons why they end up on streets.
As for warmer Regions of Russia, I don't know the exact situation. But I think the police there can be brutal the homeless because those regions are resort regions. And I think the officials there don't want tourists to get disappointed with seeing lots of people living on streets.
LA has around 66,000 homeless people. Compare that to the closest big city on the east coast near me with only 6,000. When I worked in Philadelphia the homeless would sleep on sidewalks where the hot air came up from the subways. On dark streets you could trip over them. America needs more low income housing. They say we have 580,000 homeless.
@@rbspider Yes I don't see as many homeless people in Boston as we have many shelters its also quite cold for 4 months of the year so there are many Shelters. I've noticed many more homeless people in both LA and San Francisco but its both warmer and higher population there too compared to New England Area. Boston is a Major Tourist Center especially for both Europe and Asia plus from Within the USA we also don't want our image ruined either but e also tend to have better social services historically. Another issue in CA is the high cost of Real Estate with Housing averages $ 2.5 Million for single family home in LA, San Diego and SF/Silicon Valley Areas.
I’m from south part of Russia, and it’s not much different between amount of homeless at cold or warm areas ! They do often find some shelters to stay at .
@@rbspider На самом деле в России не более 30 тысяч бездомных. И это вполне можно удостоверить.
You should go for a walk in a Democrat run city in America and check out the homeless encampments. Russia has homeless like every country but not even close to the problem America has
Is it possible to present statistics about „family values” in Russia? Putin and Russian church are claiming Russia (contrary to the collective West, which is wild and nihilistic in their opinion) is protecting traditional values-family life, respect for seniors, minors etc. I am wondering what are current statistics about number of divorces, abondoned children, alimony debts, cruelty towards old people. Just wondering how these numbers look.
❤️❤️..luv watching your vids
Thank you! I/m glad you like my work!
What i dont understand is why the dont count the registered people in the town. In the Netherlands everyone is registered.
Interesting topic, this video
That was an interesting video Thanks for putting it out.
I enjoyed your video. It is interesting to learn about the lives of people that live in Russia
Только видео неточное. Бездомных в России (сужу по Воронежу, и экстраполирую) -- не более 30 тыс.
Another place homeless people can go in Russia it's so-called "working house". They can get a job there and a place to stay and eat for free.
What kind of work do they do there? It sounds like a positive approach. Are these places funded by the government?
@@SilkeFauve I heard they do construction work and cleaning. No, it's not govt project.
They are 120.000russian dead..... Helo... do you care..???
Excellent video! You’re so smart and aware of bigger issues! Well done!
Do you think you draw unnecessary attention to walk outside filming in English?
Baklykov does it for hours every day. When I was in Russia young people were very interested in practicing their English with me. I found total strangers friendly and extremely well informed about both Russian and international history and culture. Wonderful country!
It's very dangerous. If the KGB know than someone speaks in English, that person will be imprisoned forever!
How about poverty rate in the territories? Can you tell us why do you Russians have this enormous problem with drinking and so many drunk people?
They don't.
@@LochEden they do
It's a big problem here in the U.S., too. Maybe in Russia, because it gets extremely cold for so long every year, some people drink to warm up and to tolerate "cabin fever."
As a Norwegian these comparative numbers shocked me because I expected the opposite.
According to the UN, in the fourth quarter of 2022, 11 million people which is 7.8% of the resident population of Russia lived under the poverty line. By the end of 2022 Russia, there were 11,285 homeless people, which is almost 6 times less than in 2010 (64,077). This is evidenced by the data Rosstat released in January 2023. Which is approx. 50x less than in the U-S-A. However I should add, the UN still uses the 2010 figure of 64,077.
There are 37.9 million Americans living in abject poverty, accounting for 11.6% of the total population, according to the U-S. Census Bureau.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) counted around 582,000 Americans experiencing homelessness in 2022.
The number reported by the Census Bureau is based on the official poverty measure, which has remained virtually unchanged since the mid-1960s when things like washing machines were luxuries and the metrics for measuring poverty were less stringent than current UN metrics. So typically it's expected that this number is probably higher if the UN criteria is used.
People who find shelter in abandoned buildings are called squatters. Tbh I’m not sure they are included in statistics in other countries either if they are not registered as homeless with a shelter or other types of charitable organizations.
Glad to have you back and that you are ok!
In Norway, with a population of 5,5 Million, there are 3325 homeless people. Meaning, they don't have a regular registered address and live in a shelter. In that sense, only people that select not to use a shelter is actually homeless.
So, yes, it is possible and if the oil and gas money was used on yhe people, it would be the same result in Russia.
I watch the entire video, I thought you were going to show us some homeless people but you didn’t maybe Putin new that you were going to come filming them and he decided to hide them. Me I’m leaving in the US I can show homeless people at any time any season
Thank you. Great information.
(Des)information. And in fact there are no more than 30,000 homeless people in whole Russia.
Thank you for the video on homelessness in Russia Ksenia. It was very interesting and informativeI live in the US and we have no visibility into that situation in Russia. It seems like it is a problems in many countries and I haven't seen any real progress in solving it. I was missing your videos, so I am very happy to see that you are still doing them.
Только число невероятно завышено. Если б было столько -- бомжи были бы повсюду, а их нет (даже в подвалах, хотя при Ельцине они жили там массово).
So glad to see you back, Ksenia! Thanks for your insights on this subject. You have a smart way of deconstructing issues and presenting them. Your hair is getting so long and looks lovely. Hugs, as always, from Kansas USA❤🌻🙋♀🌈
Dear Ksenia. You are a wonderful one. I vere your energy.
Called "Orphanages."
But do orphanages really exist anymore, in the USA I mean. Now we have foster care and group homes and intake centers I think. I only hear about them on TV shows. Medical dramas. My mother was in foster homes when she was little even though she had parents. The state took her away from her parents, along with five of her siblings, and they were in foster care for 6 years I think. She always wanted to go home, but she said that wasn't any better, when it finally happened. There were six more kids. And the same mother. She said her father was nice but he had too many children and not enough time.
Now I will know!
Good informative video, as usual. I'll be looking forward to your next one.
in fact there are no more than 30,000 homeless in whole Russia.
I made census in my country and we don't count homeless people, it's very difficult to do so.
I think it’s sad that communism didn’t have words like homelessness where capitalism still does.
Thank you Ksenia!!
This was definitely an eye opener.
There is the same problem in the US
No society is perfect.
You are beautiful.
In fact there are no more than 30,000 homeless people in whole Russia.
You mentioned alcoholism and mental health as root causes. We have an abundance of what you mentioned showing up in suburban Colorado. Our problem is compounded with people addicted to heroin, crack and a small portion are just very unfortunate. America, land of the free, home of the mass shooter.
In fact there are no more than 30,000 homeless people in whole Russia
Could they have been mobilized to reduce that number?
Thank you for the insight into the situation in Russia. In the UK we have a “census” every 10 years, the last being in 2021. Like most countries there are a considerable number of homeless here also.
I feel grateful to have a roof over my head. On RUclips, the channel “Invisible People” is thought provoking, how ordinary people can easily find themselves out on the street.
Где и когда в России гулять индийцам старше 55 лет?

I think the reasons for homelessness are the same in Any country.
P.S. I love your long hair. It really suits you. It's a beautiful chocolate colour and so thick, just stunning.
Thank you! Very interesting information.
На самом деле -- примерно 30 000 бездомных.
Your heating is much different in Russia. In the states, each building provides their own heat. It is not piped into the building.
those are hot water pipes.
Thank you for this thoughtful and informative program. In the States, the majority of homeless people are suffering from mental illness and/or substance abuse problems. It is true that a certain percentage of them do not want or seek any assistance that may be available to them. It seems to be a problem that is almost without a solution, even though many governmental organizations and charities have tried to alleviate homeless in their communities. There are actually some cities and states that provide one way bus tickets to homeless people in their area to relocate to other cities or states, thus moving the "problem" out of their localities but not dealing with it effectively. I appreciate your thoughts regarding this situation in Russia as you seem to be objective about it but not judgmental.
these places just pretend to have "services". the reality is they pocket most of the money and are not housing people because there really is no housing. santa cruz NGO is like this and if you go there they dont even feed 90 percent of the people only a small selection who happen to live in the pallet houses........yeah dude if you spent one day going throught that nonsense you would obviously have no choice but to continue homelessness and then eventually just stop trying at these "services". food boxes are nice if you can actually cook it. most homeless cannot but some have there cars to live in......carcentric america yay.
In the US, many homeless people are lacking in basic mental stability. There were mental hospitals that have closed down over the last 20-30 years in the area I live in and have been replaced with new housing units. I think a lot these individuals actually choose to live on the streets and have no real interest in attempting to live in a social society. They have just lost all hope and motivation to do otherwise. Many try to beg on streets with cardboard signs asking for donations. I do not see how these people can even be helped out of their situation. Many social organizations and churches aid these individuals with clothes blankets and food.
Not all 'unfortunate' people are easily provided for, yet perhaps an alternative lifestyle i.e. Kibbutz structure, would have a place for individuals uncomfortable with mainstream life, in our societies? There is a case to be made that modern life is not suitable in all situations.
im homeless in america, which is currently waging war on homelessness but obviously not as good as russia is... but still, hearing your voice has me wanting to somehow smuggle myself into russia. covid saw how little housing protection americans have had and for me..after back injury logging i havent been able to find anything. it probably didnt help that i was a no good foster kid that nobody wanted so i have been on the streets off and on since childhood. its hard when alone.
The same is here in EU too...
Thank you for this informative and interesting video. You have the qualities of a good journalist here, and in some of your other videos. You try to be honest and objective, showing us what you see with your own eyes and camera, making it clear about when you are giving us your own opinions or when you are citing information from government or other sources, and you tell us what you think without telling us what to think.

Hello Ksenia. Unfortunately homeless are everywhere and I think that their life is very hard, especially in winter. Happily in Italy there are many associations which give them a suitable shelter and food, but most of the time they refuse this help and prefer living along the streets of a city and they are mainly foreigners. Anyway it is a big problem. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

Thank you for sharing some of the problems that you face in Russia. For those of us who have only visited for a short time or who have never had a chance to visit yet, it is easy to assume that it is a paradise when compared to the problems we are so familiar with at home.

I'm watching this in 2024. I think that this video was very well thought out and very informative. Thank you! I hope all is going well for you.
You should check out my city ottawa canada. If i showed you where the homeless gather in our capital( 1000000 people), they're everywhere. They frequently overdose on the sidewalk. Sometimes the poop on the street in broad daylight. Cold here too.
Very informative and sadly I think the way they count in all countries is underestimated. One homeless person is too many. Thank you for sharing your life with others, I love your humanity
Russia is ranked place 96th in life expectancy, that gives you a good indication of how hostile it's government realy is to thr population. Not seeing homeless people can as well mean that the lawa against them are very harsh in that place.
Strange that these people talk about the homeless in Russia, and yet not a single homeless individual is shown! Shouldn't this video be titled "Invisible homeless people in Russia?" Can people get arrested in Russia for feeding the homeless as happens to be the law in the United States? Also, the alleged homeless men @13:24 appear to be workers inspecting the pipeline.
I bet there are many more homeless people if you consider the unlivable shacks people in out in rural areas
I bet the Russians haven't got the equivalent of a Kensington Avenue Philidalphia, not even close.
This is the first video I have watched on this channel. Thank you for talking about the homeless people in Russia. For the past three years I have been following many different Russian vloggers, and they have posted many videos showing cities and towns all across Russia.--east, west, central, north, and south. I can't recall ever once seeing a homeless person in any of these videos. I think the vloggers want to show the good side of Russia. I must admit that I was impressed with how clean and modern many cities and towns in Russia look. I was impressed with the quality of public transportation. I was impressed with so many people and families walking everywhere and enjoying life. I was impressed with the architecture and the parks. I was impressed with The People's Friendship University in Moscow, and that there are students from all over the world to include India and Africa. I was impressed with the beauty of Russia in all regions of the country. I was impressed with the diverse cultures and customs and cuisine. And as for the Russian vloggers, I am impressed with how kind and intelligent and well educated they are. They have pointed out that most Russians are friendly people no matter where you go (even though they don't smile as much as Americans). But I also admit that I have been puzzled about not seeing homeless people. So your video helped me to understand that there is indeed a homeless problem in Russia, and it seems to be more severe than in America, which has about 600,000 homeless people. Since I have lived in several American cities that have homeless people, here is my observation about why they are homeless: alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness, people released from prison who can't find a job, and poverty. Some people are homeless simply because they are poor, meaning they can't afford to rent a home. There are homeless shelters in all American cities, but they are not adequate. Children and families with children receive priority, however, which is good. In conclusion, I find Russia a most impressive country and the people there not much different than people in America. Even so, there is one person in Russia with whom I am not impressed, and he will probably go down in history as making one of the most stupid decisions that any leader has ever made. I am subscribing to this channel, because I want to hear more about what you have to say about Russia from your perspective.
I live in Voronezh, we have a movement to help the homeless - "Rassvet". I was involved in helping when I was younger. What can I say. There are very few homeless people. You understand this especially when you remember the 90s and 00s - then they were inhabited by stations, basements, heating mains, abandoned houses, etc. But already 5 years ago, Rassvet began to count about 100, maximum 200 homeless people (according to requests to rooming houses, this is about 100 people for the winter, well, according to calls from citizens (according to a poster with a telephone "I saw a homeless person - call Rassvet" we we will help him), but, of course, the calls were sometimes duplicated. Distributions of hot food and warm clothes (and other things) were collected by 30-35 people. It is significant that now there are practically no homeless people in the basements, there are very few who beg on the street or on the porch near the church (and before they literally crowded).Voronezh is a city of a million people, in a rather warm climate (and, again: the basement is always at the service of the homeless, so their absence in the basements is a significant indicator of a change in the situation for the better ). If we extrapolate the Voronezh situation (and this is a middle province), it is clear that in fact there are no more than 30,000 homeless people in whole Russia.
Informative video.
It's very cold there to leave someone homeless. In relatively hot places like Rome or London is full of them.
Definitely have missed you Ksenia. The video was worth the wait! It was so windy, making technical difficulties, but despite this, you overcame and could be heard! This was so thoughtfully put together. Touchingly real and heartfelt. St. Petersburg me, moves from strength to strength! Perhaps more can be done to alleviate this crisis.✨💚
Russian people are very good people down to the earth very modest thanks for your information .
Watt Russian think about the footage of Russia rebuilding Mariupol?
Дамочка за 22 минуты трындежа не показала ни одного бездомного. В Канаде тоже холодный климат, но бомжей видно повсюду. В России я не вижу бомжей уже лет 15.
Respect From Indonesia, Love Russia from indonesia
THIS IS A PROBLEM ALL OVER THE PLANET PEOPLE HATE AND DON'T CARE IT IS TIME TO RETURN TO GOD JESUS CHRIST !!!!☦☦☦
Do you have charitable organisations in Russia? Not connected with the government?
Ksenia, you are cute but you need to know what are the right days to shoot video. Too windy
do a video on transportation, what do russians do with cars, is it common for city residents to own new cars?
Where do Russia people live if they don’t have place to live
a lot of homeless men because wives kick them out
