It looks very clean and well kept. People are wearing clothes, not shopping in pajamas looking like they just rolled out of bed. I’m also not seeing a sea of blue haired land whales, and I didn’t spot any men in dresses. I also didn’t see any homeless people in tents outside the entrance pandering for money and it doesn’t appear that patrons needs to step over syringes on the sidewalk outside the mall. WAY better than shopping in San Francisco!
People take a shower every day, wash in the bathroom, they do not save water. Cleanliness is the guarantee of health. And they change clothes every day, do not go dirty and sweaty. In Russia, people don't wear pajamas on the street. Homeless people are also rarely seen on the street. There are social shelters for them, where they are given documents, they are fed and treated free of charge, and they are provided with jobs. In Russia, normal marriages are man + woman. They do not litter on the streets, there are signs so that garbage is thrown into special bins for garbage
Saint Petersburg is one city that is on my bucket list to visit. I would love to see Palace Square and all the bridges and beautiful architects of the city.
Well lucky for you, you can do it any day. I see a lot of cars with finnish and Estonian licence plate in SPB lately. As far as I know Russian government not so racist like finnish government who banned me to come to Finland
I've been there, it is a beautiful city. The palaces are breathtaking, the Romanov palace is the Hermitage Museum. I was told when I was there, "If one looks at every display or exhibit for only one minute it will take between ten to eleven years to see everything". Catherine the Great's palace has a very large room covered in Amber. The czars had these palace projects mainly to provide work for hundreds of different trades and for national pride. Just this one city is a treat but there are many others though smaller throughout Russia.

I was on holiday in Moscow in 2017 and was truly impressed with the place. Easy to get about, even with a hire bicycle on the fantastic cycle infrastructure. Didn't see this mall but I did visit a super one near the old KGB building that impressed me. What surprised me the most was how safe you felt in the city.

Great video. The public funded CBC here in Canada would paint Russia as a slum and yet- here I see a mall cleaner and a more respectful atmosphere than anything in Canada which is rampant with crime. Thanks

Did you know that CSKA means "Central Sport Club of Army"? Their training centre is nearby, thus the name of the station. Also worth noting that metro station is relatively new and was constructed a few years after the mall. This is why back door suddenly became front one. Another interesting fact that before the opening of CSKA station there was a free shuttle bus to nearest station called Dinamo. And Dinamo is another popular russian soccer team, unresting honorable rival of CSKA soccer team.
There is a massive interest from many South American designers and brands in the upper segment trying to conduct business and establish there is not something that can happen in the blink of an eye due to chiefly the SWIFT disconnection HOWEVER many are using Dubai, Jedah and Istanbul as bridge to solve the problem. but as a international business development manager I can see a very bright future in re to the fashion industry relationship between the regions. Brazilian summerwear, Colombian Jeans and underwear, Peruvian cosmetics and fragance manufacturing, Argentinean Childrenwear, Mexican silver goods they all now got the chance to be known and that is a blessing for the people.
Brazilian summer clothes are very interesting, but here we have warm weather for 3-5 months a year, sometimes in January it is -25-30. There are no problems with trendy summer clothes, there are problems with trendy winter clothes, oddly enough. This is probably due to the fact that all modern fashion is designed for the climate in northern Italy.

Now I have to say Russian malls they’re very creative with them design-wise I also like that there’s grocery stores in them so I can do all my shopping
Many people like to spend their day off in the mall in the cold winter. They shop, go to the cinema, have lunch in restaurants or drink coffee with dessert in cafes, walk in boutiques.
@@gate7clamp After covid, online stores have also developed strongly in Russia. However, not so much that the shops are empty. But there is no problem with theft at all, compared to America. You have very strange rules with respect to robbers. They can literally steal openly, and you only have the right to call the police. In our country, if a thief is noticed, most likely ordinary people will catch him, hand him over to the guards, and only then they will wait for the police.
@@MrSpektraFantomYes, this is how our society works. The state has a monopoly on violence. You are only allowed to use force against someone if he obviously threatens your life or health.
Looks like the US sanctions have done nothing. In fact, Moscow looks so much cleaner and much more civilized than any big city in America. I'd love to live in such a society. Sadly, I'm trapped in the zoo with the animals
I'm from Yekaterinburg, can confirm we also have somewhat similar shopping malls in a lot of places. Although this is the biggest one in Moscow, but overall the quality is all the same. And they are only building more of them with the last years, in all districts. Once again saying how stupid is propaganda that Moscow is living far better than the rest of Russia.
I agree. Even in small cities in Russia they have huge shopping malls. I lived in a small city called Stavropol and we had huge mall maybe not equal like this but similar to this. Very huge that you can easily loose your way.

This Shopping Mall looks similar, almost identical to our Chadstone Centre here in Melbourne, Australia. In ours is not much traffic, because most people cannot effort the Fashion Brands, and our Chinese community does not buy much the foreign Brands anymore. It looks like people buying mostly online, and soon Shopping Malls will be deserted. The world is changing rapidly to a dull uncommunicative place between humans. Soon we all will be living robots. By now, we get asked on the phone or filling in a form, if we are a human or a robot. 😮Greetings enjoy your shopping. Prosperity, safety, and health to the Russian brothers and sisters with one of the most intelligent Government.
I'm from Indonesia and I think it's very normal to have Wine or Liquor stores in a mall since they're almost in every mall here, or at least in Jakarta and other big cities. Until I went abroad like Singapore and Malasia and Australia and suddenly I realized that it's pretty rare.
Most large malls in Australia have Coles or Woolworths. Most Coles stores have liquorland outlets attached and most Woolworths stores have Macs Liquor attached.

Sooner or later I hope we can work things out between the normal people who just want to live.
Dear Russell, there is another very big shopping mall in Moscow, namely Vegas Mall at Kashirka. Its at the crossroads of MKAD and Kashirskoye Highway, 24th km of the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road) - not too far away from the place you live if you drive east over the outer side of MKAD. Its gross built area is also 400,000 sq m which translated to 4,300,000 sq feet. And this mall is linked with a park of attractions. So maybe one day you'll be interested to make a video of it as well. The only difference between the two malls is that Aviapark lies deep inside the inner city of Moscow, whereas Vegas Mall sits on the outer side of the MKAD.
никто не станет строить в центре города такой ТРЦ, тупо нет места, так сложилось исторически. Если про Меги, Вегасы.. можно сказать, что они на окраине города, то про Авиапарк, Европейский.. вполне можно сказать, что они находятся в центре
@@NicolasValentinScotland In police country you do not have drunk or homeless people. At least not in the streets. We did not have them here when we were under Soviet rule as well. Would I like that times to come back? Never ever.
Лучше потратить свое время на Третьяковскую галерею или Пушкинский музей, чем по магазину ходить целый день. В пушкинском музее мировые шедевры, а в этом месте обычные товары, как везде.
I like that in Europe, even in Eastern Europe, they don’t let smart phones take over their lives, and still know how to be social at malls unlike in the west, we see malls dying because people rely so heavily on online shopping even though I know, Russia has Wildberry but people there tend to wanna go shopping and hang out with their friends It’s pretty much like how America used to be 15 years ago

It's a crazy big place. Even the park outside is a place you can spend a few hours taking a walk. Before you tackle the 500 shops, 2 level supermarket, 2 level hardware store and 17 screen cinemas. I forgot about the food court and ice skating.
It blows my mind just how much the mall there in Russia looks like ours fid back in the 80's & 90's. Yet if you go to most of our malls now are mostly empty and not that exciting nor inviting as they used to be.
It's truly sad how much our own government hates it's own citizens here. This country is nothing that our founding fathers had envisioned it to be. The core values, traditions, respect have been lost. I don't believe (never have) what the media says about Russia. I truly do feel that it's all a power grab and nothing more than the us putting their nose where it doesn't belong. I'm glad Russia has taken a stand against it!

Consumer products sold in these markets aren't sanctioned. That's why this video is kind of propaganda, "look sanctions aren't affecting". Well, no sh.. Those international consumer brands which have left Russia is because of reputational issues, not because of sanctions.
Very different in terms of crowd compared to malls in the Philippines. Malls here, specially in Metro Manila are always very crowded, specially on weekends. The atmosphere in that mall is very relaxing.
RUSSIA has a better standard of living than USA , cost for food is 1/3 of USA supermarkets , loads of stock ! Housing is 1//8 much less than USA, Amazing !❤
Some of these stores are, themselves, as large as a Walmart is. So clean, modern, and orderly with an amazing variety of everything- in contrast to so much in the US. If you can't find it here, you probably can get along better without it. Adelante Rusia!
I do love a good walkabout! And thank you for using the term "brutalist". So very few know what that word means. 😀❤ There are more stores open - and more people shopping - in AviaPark than our mall (two, actually) that we occasionally visit in the Phoenix area.

Hello Russel - greetings from Poland. I'm a British living just outside Warsaw. I'm married to a lovely Polish lady. I'm astonished. No, astounded by your video. We've been fed total propaganda by the West and Polish media. We're told shops are empty because of sanctions. People are queueing for food. Even fighting for food! What a total load of rubbish. A superb shopping mall. Clean well stocked full of people. Exactly the opposite that we are told here in Poland. A million thanks for opening my eyes.
Greetings from Russia. I was in Warsaw in 2019 and I really liked it. They lie everywhere now. This is politics. They tell you about empty shelves in stores, and they tell us how you are freezing without Russian gas. The truth is always in the middle, isn't it?
Gee, I thought Russia was just "a gas station with nukes," or in the words of the late John "Songbird" McCain, "a gas station masquerading as a country." This mall is far nicer and more vibrant than any mall I've seen in the U.S. It's missing a few features common in the freak shows here, like the vacant shops, dilapidation and so-called humans walking around with asses hanging out of their pants. A trip to a mall here is a nauseating and dangerous experience. If I didn't know better, I might begin to doubt what CNN and MSNBC have taught us Americans about Russia. I might even doubt what I've heard about the brilliance and effectiveness of "Shower Daddy" Biden's sanctions campaign against Russia.
Wow it is very easy to change your opinion all it took is one video to convince you the whole country is great. Also check out the “American Dream” mall it has skiing and a water park inside.
@@strasbourgerelsass1467 I travel a lot in Russia and not only. Even in the smallest, remote cities of Russia, you will not find empty shelves. Yes, there will be no fashion boutiques, but the shops, even rural ones, will be clean and tidy.
Auchan is a large french chain of stores, present in many countries. Mainly in Europe, Russia, Asia and a little in South America. Decathlon and Tefal are also French brands. :)
I am curious. How it is that you can be in Russia? You work there? Have you got visa? All we living in Europe cannot go anyway, it is strictly forbidden by EU bastards.
If you have a great desire to come to Russia, then apply for a visa and fly with a transfer to Dubai or Belgrade or Istanbul. No more obstacles. There are very friendly, kind people in Russia. The main thing is not to dictate your rules at their house and then everything will be fine and completely safe. Have less doubts and go ahead, learn a new culture 🙂
I remember the 80s when the shopping mall was a culture like in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. We would make a special trip on Saturday to a nearby larger town with a mall especially to get our hair cut by a hairstylist (🙄80s) which was something better than mom! Also it was a refuge from the heat!
Good job, Russell. Lived in St Petersburg for several years, and was so very impressed with all parts of Russian life, specially the people and culture. The West has so distorted the minds of the people.. unless one travels there, one will never truly know how amazing Russia is.

Для чего у вас так дурят людей? У обычного русского человека обычно квартира в городе и дом за городом, самый большой % собственников жилья в России. Нигде в мире нет больше людей живущих в своей недвижимости. Кроме того квартплата в такой недвижимости обычно около 40-50$ в месяц. При этом у нас зима минус 20-30 градусов и мы ходим дома в майке, потому что тепло.

Ужас был в 90-ые, когда Горбачев нас предал и развалил страну. Вы бы удивились, увидев, как выглядела наша страна до развала.

All we have in our town centre are gangs of marauding drugged up zombies aggressively begging and threatening people.
@@George-hs2zm The reason is not in online trading, but in the root - in the decline in the standard of living, which the authorities deliberately hide. It's just that for a long time America and the whole West lived at the expense of the rest of the planet and at the expense of unsecured money printing. And now this period is ending. Therefore, those who earn money live better, and those who lived at the expense of others and at the expense of loans (i.e. loans from the future) will live worse. And every year it gets worse and worse. Americans and Europeans are already beginning to feel this in the form of a reduction in production and inflation, and the real consequences are still ahead. So there is only one way out of this - to flee to normal developing countries. At the same time, escape from gender madness

Not to mention, Russia has the breathtaking *“Golden Ring”* popular tourist route where Russia once started out as a country, with numerous 1000+ year old cathedrals and monasteries. *Stalingrad* (now Volgograd) - the legendary city in which the most important and game changing battle of WW2 happened with its astounding WW2 heritage. *Grozny* - fantastic city in the Caucasus. *Siberia* - often called “the most precious gem in the Russian imperial crown” and “the lungs of the planet” with its fantastic taiga and wilderness, with numerous national parks. *Altai* - in the heart of Asia with terrific lakes and mountains, *Karelia* - with fascinating Scandinavian landscapes, *lake Baikal* - the deepest lake in the world with unforgettable nature, *Kamchatka* - in the Far East with its incredible volcanoes and so on and so forth.

Also worth noting that metro station is relatively new and was constructed a few years after the mall. This is why back door suddenly became front one.

Dear Russell, there is another very big shopping mall in Moscow, namely Vegas Mall at Kashirka. Its at the crossroads of MKAD and Kashirskoye Highway, 24th km of the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road) - not too far away from the place you live if you drive east over the outer side of MKAD. Its gross built area is also 400,000 sq m which translated to 4,300,000 sq feet. And this mall is linked with a park of attractions. So maybe one day you'll be interested to make a video of it as well. The only difference between the two malls is that Aviapark lies deep inside the inner city of Moscow, whereas Vegas Mall sits on the outer side of the MKAD.

Gee, I thought Russia was just "a gas station with nukes," or in the words of the late John "Songbird" McCain, "a gas station masquerading as a country." This mall is far nicer and more vibrant than any mall I've seen in the U.S. It's missing a few features common in the freak shows here, like the vacant shops, dilapidation and so-called humans walking around with asses hanging out of their pants. A trip to a mall here is a nauseating and dangerous experience. If I didn't know better, I might begin to doubt what CNN and MSNBC have taught us Americans about Russia. I might even doubt what I've heard about the brilliance and effectiveness of "Shower Daddy" Biden's sanctions campaign against Russia.
Wow it is very easy to change your opinion all it took is one video to convince you the whole country is great. Also check out the “American Dream” mall it has skiing and a water park inside.
@@JakeSDN I didn't change my opinion. I did mock the lies that we're told every day.
Holycrap... this is the capital and biggest city in Russia. Go in a smaller town and you see how life was 50 years ago. 🙋🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@strasbourgerelsass1467 I travel a lot in Russia and not only. Even in the smallest, remote cities of Russia, you will not find empty shelves. Yes, there will be no fashion boutiques, but the shops, even rural ones, will be clean and tidy.
@@vladimirnikolskiy Sure. And I am God. 😆😉
Auchan is a large french chain of stores, present in many countries. Mainly in Europe, Russia, Asia and a little in South America. Decathlon and Tefal are also French brands. :)
40% of Europe is Russia!
I thought this is russian stores
I always enjoy your mall trips!
Glad you like them! Thanks Nancy. :))
no one is buying anything
I am curious. How it is that you can be in Russia? You work there? Have you got visa? All we living in Europe cannot go anyway, it is strictly forbidden by EU bastards.
If you have a great desire to come to Russia, then apply for a visa and fly with a transfer to Dubai or Belgrade or Istanbul. No more obstacles. There are very friendly, kind people in Russia. The main thing is not to dictate your rules at their house and then everything will be fine and completely safe. Have less doubts and go ahead, learn a new culture 🙂
Рассел спасибо за ваш позитив он заразителен , видео отличное как всегда !!!
Russia looks cleaner than the cleanest place in US.
Thanks for making the comparison.
Miami beach is also clean.
I remember the 80s when the shopping mall was a culture like in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. We would make a special trip on Saturday to a nearby larger town with a mall especially to get our hair cut by a hairstylist (🙄80s) which was something better than mom! Also it was a refuge from the heat!
In Russia, people just go to the mall. Not a special trip.
Good job, Russell. Lived in St Petersburg for several years, and was so very impressed with all parts of Russian life, specially the people and culture. The West has so distorted the minds of the people.. unless one travels there, one will never truly know how amazing Russia is.
I would say it is Putin that has distorted the west's image of Russia, due to his aggression to neighboring countries.
🇷🇺👍
Happy you're back in Russia Russell.
Didn't know there was a Tefal store (interesting), The mall looks so clean and tidy.
Ужасные сковородки делают Tefal
that is because there is no customers . the mall is very quiet you see.
@@NicolasValentinScotlanddon't cry hohol😂

Great work Russell.
I’d been led to believe that Russia was a land of uncivilised Orcs that couldn’t even buy a pair of sneekers.
They’re just like us down here in Australia.
Look how far they’ve come in 20 short years.
Can’t wait to visit.👍
Welcome to the richest, cleanest and safest country with a rich history, culture, architecture. And kind, welcoming and responsive people. You will probably be surprised at the difference between reality and the picture that the Western media show you.
In general, welcome! Kind and good people are always very welcome in Russia.
@@БорисНогин-к7у Thank you.
Being from Australia we don’t have much culture or history down here.
I look forward to visiting your country one day in the not too distant future.
Для чего у вас так дурят людей? У обычного русского человека обычно квартира в городе и дом за городом, самый большой % собственников жилья в России. Нигде в мире нет больше людей живущих в своей недвижимости. Кроме того квартплата в такой недвижимости обычно около 40-50$ в месяц. При этом у нас зима минус 20-30 градусов и мы ходим дома в майке, потому что тепло.
Мы и до этого много чего достигли. Мне не нравится, что нашу страну, если и признают цивилизованной, то будто бы она добилась этого сейчас, а вот раньше был ужас. Это неправда. Ужас был в 90-ые, когда Горбачев нас предал и развалил страну. Вы бы удивились, увидев, как выглядела наша страна до развала. Советский союз был очень прогрессивной страной, где все было нацелено на благополучную жизнь обычных людей
@@linda777elle вы правы и самая большая наша ценность это люди, я только сейчас понимаю насколько мы были благороднее, целеустремленнее, много общались, наши дома были открыты, а ключи мы оставляли под ковриками. Потому что наши ценности были не материальные.
The place is spotlessly clean and tidy, nice spot. Thank you.
And meanwhile, malls here in the U.S. are full of empty storefronts and the malls themselves are gradually shutting down everywhere.
Bigger malls like this will always be popular in Russia. There more of a destination, than purely a place to go and shop.
@carltice544, no disrespect to our American cousins intended but like here in the UK, our economies are screwed. Our finances are so stretched with the cost of living. Our high streets yrs ago were bustling but now most of the big chains have moved or gone out of business altogether. All we have in our town centre are gangs of marauding drugged up zombies aggressively begging and threatening people.
@@George-hs2zm The reason is not in online trading, but in the root - in the decline in the standard of living, which the authorities deliberately hide. It's just that for a long time America and the whole West lived at the expense of the rest of the planet and at the expense of unsecured money printing.
And now this period is ending. Therefore, those who earn money live better, and those who lived at the expense of others and at the expense of loans (i.e. loans from the future) will live worse. And every year it gets worse and worse. Americans and Europeans are already beginning to feel this in the form of a reduction in production and inflation, and the real consequences are still ahead.
So there is only one way out of this - to flee to normal developing countries. At the same time, escape from gender madness
Have sanctions been imposed against the United States? Iran? Iraq? Libya, and no, no, North Korea for sure!
Чисто, уютно, понятно и люди вокруг хорошие. Прям как у нас Красной площади и в Галерее а Краснодаре. И девчонки вокруг огонь. Понимаю опять иностранца. Красавчик.
@@monumentaltravel3745скоро и там все наладится, не переживай

@@monumentaltravel3745 почему человека из прекрасного дома в Азии волнует то, чем занимаются русские? Почему русским должно быть интересно то, что о них думает какой-то далекий человек из Азии ?

Hi Russell nice to see that shopping center again it’s huge and thanks for showing it again and what’s going on there
No worries. I know you liked seeing the scuba diver as well.
Ukrainians would be happy to be able to walk through their shopping malls so peacefully...
Who cares about them kholkhol
They do
Good job!! Love watching
Thanks so much!
Good job for exposning us to aviapark.
Great video Russell. Please keep safe from any drone attack.
Auchan it's French and not my favorite in France Yukk thought French firms were supposed to stop all business with Russia ..what an hypocrisy all of this ..as you've shown they jsut changed their names and business as usual..meanwhile in France almost a dozen of brands "aimed at middle class" have gone bankrupt and town centers in mid size towns are dying because of shops closing !
🤫
I miss ❤ xmas time in Moscow . Wish i will come back one day
There is still Christmas in Russia, not Xmas.
Nicely filmed video Russell. Good to see an Aussie perspective of Mother Russia too.....pss, I bet most viewers can't tell an Aussie accent from a Pommy, so that's our little secret. Funny, but I've been watching Eli from Russia's videos of her trip to Australia a few months ago, as well. Use to enjoy Mr Balds vids too, as he use to go to the back and beyond of Russia. Are you going to do more videos outside of Moscow, and show us other cities and countryside. Do you speak Russian? What is an Aussie doing over there?
I believe that the majority of Russians would think he is American. British accent is way too different from American . Plus, Russians preferred to copy American accent, for some reason…
@@phoenixjoe5520 Probably. But I would think most of his video viewers would be non Russian. That was whom my comment was aimed at. And to give a boost to Russell, for making these videos as well.
God bless 🙏 President Putin and Russia 🇷🇺. It's a beautiful country with great people. 🇷🇺🇷🇺👍
Karaca is a type of a Deer in Turkish (Capreolus capreolus), as you can tell from the sign, just FYI 😁👍 It is a smaller breed, that can be found in Anatolia and in Caucasus mostly.
Just because the western media said something it must be TRUE !!! The all knowing truth !! 😂
Народу сейчас ещё мало, так как начался сезон отпусков.
I'm astounded by the multi culturism, cleanliness and civility of Russia. Just show's you the skewed propaganda of the West. I automatically have assumed you can't visit since the NATO scam in a nearby country. Happy days. May get there soon. From Ireland 🇮🇪
В России любят ирландцев.
Russel try to go there in weekend even in Winter and our friends here are going to see how full of people is the shopping and shops
