I know this isn't the most scientific way to check if butter is available in Russia. Or if it's in Anti Theft containers. However, I think visiting 9 different stores should help to prove a point. Do they use anti theft containers on items in your country? Let me know. If you want to follow my daily life in Russia, why not join me on Tlelegram. t.me/travellingwithrussell
There are 2 standards for butter in Russia: 82.5% and 72.5% of fat. The first is tastier - the second is better for baking. This is a completely natural butter, not a spread or margarine. The other one is also for sale, but it costs much cheaper.
Here in the US, eggs must always be refrigerated. So I was surprised to see eggs being sold at room temperature. I did some research and it looks like the reason eggs must be refrigerated in the US is because they wash them before selling, to make them look more appealing. But washing the eggs strips them of the natural coatings on the eggs, so the eggs will spoil much faster. Therefore they are required to refrigerate the eggs. But it looks like if they just left the eggs alone after coming out of the chicken and don't wash them, they will remain fresh a long time without refrigeration.
Yep. Old rule - there is an easy wa to check whether an egg is still good involving putting it in a pot of water and see whether it swims.... but old rule is 30 days "fresh", then another 30 days if you boil them before the first 30 days.
Where I live in the US the closest place to buy garbage food is a gas station. If you need "real" food, you have to drive to one of the big supermarkets or go to a healthy food store and pay an arm and a leg for very little. The last time i visited Russia, i was amazed at the variety of food and even at the smallest local store. There is always a choice for affordable and healthy food.
@@SeanF-g5f I live in San Francisco and regularly visit Russia - even in San Francisco with a very good public transportation system I need to take a bus to get to the nearest grocery store, while in Russia there are 2-3 grocery stores within a 10-15 minute walk. In most US cities, and especially in the suburbs, you need to drive at least 20-30 minutes to buy food. Questions?
You will not find apartment block grocery stores like yours here in Canada. I can't say that there are absolutely none, but I have not seen any. Also, your apartment block grocery store is better stocked than what one would typically find in Canadian corner grocery stores. I know it is partly cultural differences, but the western propaganda about Russia is intellectually insulting.

Nice. You don’t find bulk liquor in the U.S. without anti theft devices. In some stores, liquor is in a separate locked room, in which an attendant must open and retrieve the item for the customer. It’s nice to see the city is void of garbage and debris on the streets. Thank you for the tours through the different markets. Russell, well done.
Most oc the cities around here used to be dry. There's liquor stores everywhere now and probably at least half the population hardly drinks. Quite a few people won't drink at all for various reasons.
Живу в России о проблемах с маслом узнал из комментариев к этому ролику. Прошу прощения, если кого огорчил, просто я уже лет 10 не смотрю телевизор, у меня его нет) Но я сегодня довольный, наконец-то нашёл, где у нас продаётся тыквенный сок и это просто удача, что по вкусу он как при СССР. Просто из-за низкого спроса на него, он пропадал с продажи. А он мне очень нравится.
Это в интернете сознательно разгоняют лживую информацию, что в России наступает дефицит и сливочное масло уже исчезло с прилавков или стоит по 700 рублей. Банальная информационная атака, чтобы панику создать. А многие верят в этот бред.
Телевизор тут ни при чëм. Только если украинский или американский. Какой-то хрен сказал жене укропропагандиста Гордона, что в России масло продают из-под полы и по большой цене. На Западе радостно подхватили и раздули.
Ну я узнал по роликам в сети с хохлами, которые на серьёзных щах рассказывают, что в России масла нет. "Москву и Санкт-Перебург ещё получше снабжают конечно, но в провинции...". Ржал как конь. Они видимо давно про ежей не вспоминали. Вот решили новую чушь пообсасывать.
Да они вообще не правильно поняли информацию и начали додумывать. У меня вот в Дикси у дома всё масло реально перенесли из большого холодильника в мелкий около касс. Может и другие магазины так поступили, от чего западные СМИ вдруг решили, что товар дефицитный. А по факту так сделали просто потому что уж очень много воров развелось, для которых это самый удобный товар. Маленькое и дорогое, вот по карманам и распихивали, а мы ж не в США, где это уже норма, наши действуют. Но воры то эти не от нужды, а просто потому что им там жить проще. Они это масло в промышленных масштабах пёрли, да перепродавали потом
I wish we had grocery stores near where we live. I think it’s cool that if you are in an apartment you could just go down the stairs and have everything there.

As somebody who got back from Russia 3 weeks ago and did plenty of grocery shopping in various Russian cities, I really don't understand the purpose of the butter propaganda. I obviously didn't go to every grocery store in Russia, but the ones I did shop in, which included Magnit, other supermarkets and bodegas known as "produktes", were clean, very well stocked and relative to New York, downright cheap. There was, of course, plenty of butter everywhere and at better than fair prices, at least compared to NY. I'm a huge fan of Russian butter, which used to be available in NY, albeit at exorbitant prices, because of the high quality and amazing taste. I will say, Russian butter, due to it's high fat content, is probably not the healthiest, but health be damned, spread that buttery goodness on all manner of excellent Russian bread, especially the dark variety. By the way Russell, thank you for your video on the transit exhibit in Moscow. Based on that video my Russian wife and I went to the exhibit and were were glad we did. Russian public transportation is first class, especially relative to NY, and we were amazed at the quality and quantity of public transportation options. The Moscow in Soviet times exhibit was breathtaking and literally brought a tear to my wife. I actually took a picture of me trying to buy potatoes from the babushka and trying to pay in dollars. She was very good natured and actually wrapped some up for the photo. So, thanks again and keep up the good work! Молодец!

Hi there. In Finland our state broadcaster YLE puts out regularly false inaccurate statements about Russia furthermore most people realize and understand this arrogance about YLE and have completely abandoned watching their made up stories about Russia. On a personal note I promote good neighborly friendship with our Russian friends, unlike YLE that try to promote negativity about Russia.
I don't know why we even bother to explain to Americans what life is like in Eastern Europe!? All these European nations have a millennial history and have achieved cohesion long ago, individuals have a strong sense of belonging and a sense of obligation to help and support each other. American, first of all, is not a nationality but only a citizenship, the American society is made up of mutually unrelated individuals, extremely selfish individuals, cohesion does not exist and everything is exclusively subordinated to personal interest! In Eastern Europe, people protect common goods "because it is ours, common"... In the US, people are arrogant towards the common good "because it's not mine..."!

You need a video from the UK store, any store, and you'll noticed that most of stores have anti theft tag on almost everything! Some items are even closed individually in plastic boxes! Like beef, alcohol! Hats up in front of Russians for being so well educated!
Not the case in my neck of the woods yet (SW London), although the Waitrose in Twickenham has the trolleys all chained up because apparently people are stealing them. 😂 I don't think it's the case of education, it's just that there is a very different culture there, some things are just not done. In the UK we seem to silently condone the petty criminal and anti-social behaviours and most people would just look the other way. Not the case there, in my experience. People generally are more considerate and well-behaved in public, no kids of all ages running amok, people give up seats for the elderly without being asked - small things like that. In the UK at large people seem to have forgotten how to behave like civilised human beings. 😢
@elizadi3137 I don't know how to explain it, but here many people don't have "conscience" anymore. Sadly. Besides, there is a great divide between the "haves" and "have nots", plus a lot of people coming from a socially, economically and culturally vastly different backgrounds and never integrating into the indigenous society. It's a path to destruction and, sadly, I see little way out of it...

Hey Russell, those tiny eggs with the dark spots are quail (bird) eggs. They are very tasty and healthy. The fact is, one quail egg is equal to one chicken egg by all the elements, but size is smaller. Pros: quail eggs do not have salmonella. Never. It's because the body temp of quial bird is higher than chicken body, and salmonella just can't exist there. Cons: quail eggs are way more expensive, and one have to spend more time to peel 'em boiled. You have to try it someday. 😋
I do not get the idea with butter. I mean, arguing that the Russian economy has problems with high tech - I can get that to SOME degree. But Russia is a MAJOR agricultural powerhouse. OBVIOUSLY, they have cows, which OBVIOUSLY means they have Milk, Butter, Cheeses - not necessarily all kinds of cheese, but in general. It makes ZERO sense to assume Russia does not have Butter. By that same logic you can argue they have no natural gas. They also have bread - they do not export all the wheat and starve at home.

Great video. Russia must not struggle for food ever with such resources. Btw prices of food in the nonEU Europe precisely the Balkans are crazy: our local producers are hardly price competitive even if quality is ok and at the same time imports are getting more and expensive. Come winter time we work for food and heating costs since most ppl use electricity and when carbon tax per kg of Co2/KWh kicks in in 2026 we will be kaput as regular ppl have no means to switch to "green" heating options even if it's a thing. We are mostly living in apartment buildings so using coal and wood is not really an option esp. when you either have no elevator in older or a chimney in newly built ones. For comparison butter 250 gr of good quality is cca 4.5 Eur while salaries are in the gutter, inflation rampant and only ppl having some decent living standards are either public employees (mid level and up) and corrupt politicians stealing on public procurement or dishonest businessmen evading taxes and not paying workers fully or legally at all. This is a never ending nightmare. I hope other ppl have it easier...smh
Food isn't cheap in Russia if you are looking at their incomes. And I really want to see that country that charges 4.50 for 250g butter since even in der the UK it's way cheaper.
@cehaem2 I didn't say food was was cheap. Nothing is cheap these days. I said Russia need not struggle as they can produce a lot of food even export, there should never be shortages. As for prices, Idk ab UK but price of quality butter and food in general (as well as services) is as I wrote i.e. high and going up for countries that import food which is why I said prices are insane and out of control here.

But as you know, we only have 3 real coices here in OZ, not mentioning the two minor brands that exist. So, based on that, everything is WAY more expensive in rural Queensland compared to Brisbane, and compared to Russia, our prices are hideous . I love your podcast. Keep up the great work

Except for the language everything in he shops looks modern, and the packaging is western or Japanese quality. There’s a ton of products to choose from. Russia food seems to be thriving. The consumers don’t look like they’re hurting for choice.
200 gram package 65% fat butter costs around €2 here in Romania, with 72% - 82% fat about €2.50 more or less, in the video there I saw some incredibly cheap butter assortments, 72% fat package at the price of 50₽=50 €urocents , even at 82% I saw that you have some cheaper assortments, although most of them still around €2.50 , all in all, there you have a wider range of selection.
Eggs are only refrigerated in the USA as far as I understand. This is because eggs in USA are being processed through industrial car-wash style machines and this removes natural protective films which keep eggs free from bacteria penetrating the shell. In Europe eggs are not processed and therefore do not require refrigeration. UK supermarkets don't refrigerate eggs.
They are not "processed", they are just washed. Technically, the US system is better as ir prevents accidental contamination AFTER you have broken the shell but now with the source of potential contamination being practically removed there really isn't much difference. BTW. In the Soviet Union people would also refrigerate their eggs. Fridges would have an egg compartment on the door
@@cehaem2 How is it better? US eggs expire very quickly because their shell has been stripped of protection. They get contaminated easily and spoiled easily and that's why they need refrigeration. A waste of money and time for everyone from sellers to consumers.
Вблизи моего дома 15-17 магазинов разной еды. Мы любим натуральное. Предпочитаю все покупать на деревенском ранке. 3$ 1 кг свинины. 7$ 1 кг говядины. 3,5 $ 1 кг куриных грудок. Люблю только натуральное молоко, которое хранится не больше 3 дней. Стоимость 0,80$ 1 литр
To get a pack of 200 grams of butter, you will need 25-40 liters of milk, depending on the fat content. It is clear that natural butter is expensive. Чтобы получить 1 пачку масла 200 грамм, требуется 25-40 литров молока (зависит от жирности), поэтому масло дорогое.
The claim is laughable. In the UK, almost everything is moving toward anti-theft packaging. Go shopping in the UK, and you will see whole shelves of meat, fish, cheese, butter, and alcohol being swept into large carrier bags with no attempt to stop the theft, and apparently, no chance of the police turning up!
I think that depends on where you live and shop tbh. Several of my local Waitrose stores have not yet resorted to such measures, although the expensive items (e.g. prime beef) have security tags. Loca Sainsbury's shops have more of these, ditto Tesco and M&S. Can't speak for other stores, unfortunately. The thing is that people are just brazen and I've witnessed more than once someone just grabbing items and running out of the door, with security men chasing after them. If that happens in an affluent area (Richmond), imagine what's going on in the less well to do areas!!
In Canada, Montreal the butter is either in-house brand or a trade mark. That's it...in a store you get only 2 butter brands. Same for all diary products. If you want something else, you go to another supermarket and get their in-house product, plus the same brand you found earlier. So, there is no variety, there are no multiple producers. That means, Canada is a totalitarian, centralized country where businesses do not thrive. The only department where there is truly diversity is beer. There you get dozens of products from multiple local and international producers.

To buy butter I go to a wholesale market in the vicinity of Moscow ring road. I usually buy 5 kg pack. There is a vast choice of butter - from Belarus, Altai in Siberia, or some localities in Lipetsk, Tambov or else. Last time in September 5 kg cost me 3,000 Roubles (approx.$30). I chop it into more convenient portions of 0.5 kg and store it in freezer. On this market I also buy cheese, chocolate, meat deli products and smoked fish. It comes cheaper to supply there.
I think I visited Globus Supermarket when I staying on the outskirts of St Petersburg. Love their massive supermarkets, much more exciting than the UK ones. The eggs you mentioned, I believe these are quael eggs.
You will see these "hypermarkets" all over Eastern Europe. They are usually located at shopping malls in the outskirts which sucks because a) getting there takes ages b) without a car you are basically skrewed. These malls sucked a lot of business oout of the city centres. Nowadays it's better but back in the 90s and early 2000s your only option would be an expensive convenience store. When I was in uni in the late 90s I did my weekly shopping once a week which would take me probably around 3,5h.
It would be much more interesting if the comments came from rael accounts. Half the comments in English r from nato bots; half the comments in Russian r from Russian-speaking nato bots. Maybe a couple Russian bots as well; grossly outnumbered as usual.
Thanks Russel. Our cheap (like home brand) butter in Australia (Coles, Wollies, Aldi) is $7 for 500g now. Other brands are more expensive though you don't see such a huge price variance like what you show there! The cheap eggs here are about $5.50 to $7 a dozen but you could pay &10/dozen. Cage eggs are cheaper but it would be hard to find any less than $4/dozen. Food is not locked up here and I've never heard about butter being locked up anywhere. The shops look normal there compared to here though I still can't get over the alcohol being sold at the grocery store there.
Each winter season there is the butter price rise and in spring for eggs )) Not pleasent but I tolerated already - it is not a surprise, because I eat much of these 2 products 😂
Yet again Russell, in your supermarket videos, I can’t get over the differences in prices between Russia & the UK😢 It’s nonsense & cruel how high our food costs are & especially 🥚. You used to a few years back, buy these & make cheap omelettes, scrambled eggs etc., but no longer😮

@@jerrylee4485 By the way, weren't you the one laughing at my words about Russia beating enemies on all fronts? Here are some statistics especially for you: in November 2024 alone, the valiant Russian troops liberated more territory from nationalists than in the whole of 2023.
Viola is the new name of Valio which left Russia. Good luck😂😂 Butter in glass cans which you saw is melted butter. Normally we have two standars - 82.5 and 72.5% of fat. Melted is close to 100% and used exclusively for cooking. Interesing that in ALL stores shown, there are goods "by weight" - mostly candies, fruits and vegetables. Chocolate candies are more expensive than butter but... You put them into a bag by yourself and weight by yourself. What are you talking about, anti-theft boxes? It is only for caviar and sometimes for very expensive olive oil.
Eggs on the shelf in my part of London. A high-end brand of butter, Lurpak, which sells for about £7GBP in the large 750g size was security tagged. I have not noticed if it still is. Some typical media coverage was around the high price and comparing it with much cheaper butter; failing to point out that the cheaper butter was in smaller size packs!
Hey Russell-Love your channel! Russia is far different from what I thought it would be like. I love that apartment buildings have grocery stores in them!
такие магазины на каждом углу и работают без выходных праздников, а некоторые 24 часа в сутки, есть возможность и заказать доставку на дом, просто позвонив по телефону.
In 2024 the Russian economy has overtaken Japan to become the fourth largest in the world in PPP terms (purchasing power parity). PPPs provide a more accurate measure of living standards. Even the IMF estimates their economy will grow faster than the likes of US, UK and Germany this year. Now, how did that happen? 🤔
@@DanaDikaiosyne An extremely important development that deserves a separate investigation is the that has broken out BETWEEN RUSSIAN CENTRAL BANK AND RUSSIA’S MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. And there are first victims already. Looks like the iron woman Elvira Nabuilina starts losing influence. She’s facing hostile actions from the MIC of Russia headed by Putin’s old friend Sergey Chemezov. She has been able to fend off the attacks - until now. Her most trusted first deputy Kseniaya Udaeva, the woman in charge of Russia’s Central Bank (she was the one doing all the work), Russia’s smartest economist with a PhD in economics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology QUIT her position today. Most likely was forced to quit. It doesn’t matter really, she’s out of the job. She quit soon after another key member of Nabuilina’s team Kirill Tremasov quit his position at the central Bank. Nabuilina is in trouble. The question that remains is will she lose her job, or freedom as well, or else? Popcorn is ready, I keep watching. -Another news is butter and eggs. Russians love butter. But not all can afford it now. Butter prices are skyrocketing. The minister of agriculture is very angry at butter producers. October 23rd, he called an emergency industry leaders meeting and threatened them to keep butter prices low. I wonder how they will be able to do that? On top of that, first imports of butter have started arriving to Russia from Turkey. First 20 000 metric tons. This is a developing crisis (a serious one) and a shame at the time. I’ve been talking of how Russians cannot create own technologies, say gas turbines or car engines and transmittions. For goodness sake, they can’t even produce butter! Learn how to make butter first and stop buying it from Turkey! The same goes about eggs too. The egg crisis is back. The prices have been sharply increasing in Recent weeks. I have a feeling the Turkish will be shipping eggs to Russia too.
Thanks for honest presentation of my homeland. I come here to relax when I get overwhelmed by crazy stuff in videos of people who have never been to Russia, but claim to know everything about it.

*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*
You can find both butter and margarine, and their mixture (spread). The law prescribes their exact separation, so when buying butter, you can be sure that you are buying butter, and not a mixture with margarine. Physically, they are usually next to each other, but the pack always clearly states what it is. Plus there is the composition - for butter, it is always cream. What is shown in the video is butter. The minimum price for a pack of 180 grams with a fat content of 72% is 1.2 US dollars (at the rate of 1 dollar = 100 rubles). You can pay more - up to 2 dollars. Butter with 82% fat content is a little more expensive - for the same pack it is already about 1.5 dollars and up to 2.5. Large chains often have their own farms and production facilities, which allows them to keep the price a little lower than when purchasing from third-party manufacturers. So the minimum bar is just the own products of the retail chain. At the maximum, these are goods from different manufacturers, most often imported; transportation affects. But there is a myth that everyone lies and counterfeits products. This is a religious belief - there is no force that could convince people otherwise. This allows you to sell for 2 dollars what you can buy for 1.2. Well, there are also Ukrainian bots that are ready to lie about everything that concerns Russia. There can be a lot of them in such channels - this must be remembered; they have a whole government department that officially maintains bots on their payroll.
In Seattle eggs are refrigerated due to being washed first so the protective coating has been removed and is more susceptible to harmful bacteria, in Europe they aren't washed and can be left out.
No items are locked up where I stay but a few miles away I think there might be. It’s just a poverty thing, not a country thing. Butter was sensitive to inflation a while back though which is why it was protected. Very expensive and rare, $10 per pack at 1 point.
Considering the fact that there have been sanctions in place for quite some time now there still seem to be plenty of western goods on sale in those stores and they also seem to be pretty well stocked !
@@shellbythesea12 the pack sizes in Russels clips are around 200 to 200 grams. This means in Russia 1 pound also costs around 4 to 5 USD. And guess what comes now....look at Russian salaries and compare to Canada or USA. Russia is going down the drain

I know this isn't the most scientific way to check if butter is available in Russia. Or if it's in Anti Theft containers. However, I think visiting 9 different stores should help to prove a point. Do they use anti theft containers on items in your country? Let me know.

There are 2 standards for butter in Russia: 82.5% and 72.5% of fat. The first is tastier - the second is better for baking. This is a completely natural butter, not a spread or margarine. The other one is also for sale, but it costs much cheaper.

Here in the US, eggs must always be refrigerated. So I was surprised to see eggs being sold at room temperature. I did some research and it looks like the reason eggs must be refrigerated in the US is because they wash them before selling, to make them look more appealing. But washing the eggs strips them of the natural coatings on the eggs, so the eggs will spoil much faster. Therefore they are required to refrigerate the eggs. But it looks like if they just left the eggs alone after coming out of the chicken and don't wash them, they will remain fresh a long time without refrigeration.
Never sold from fridges here in UK.
Germany the same...no eggs in fridges
@@jerrylee4485it's an American only thing to wash the eggs
Yep. Old rule - there is an easy wa to check whether an egg is still good involving putting it in a pot of water and see whether it swims.... but old rule is 30 days "fresh", then another 30 days if you boil them before the first 30 days.

Живу в России о проблемах с маслом узнал из комментариев к этому ролику. Прошу прощения, если кого огорчил, просто я уже лет 10 не смотрю телевизор, у меня его нет)
Но я сегодня довольный, наконец-то нашёл, где у нас продаётся тыквенный сок и это просто удача, что по вкусу он как при СССР. Просто из-за низкого спроса на него, он пропадал с продажи. А он мне очень нравится.
Это в интернете сознательно разгоняют лживую информацию, что в России наступает дефицит и сливочное масло уже исчезло с прилавков или стоит по 700 рублей. Банальная информационная атака, чтобы панику создать. А многие верят в этот бред.
Вкус детства.
Телевизор тут ни при чëм. Только если украинский или американский. Какой-то хрен сказал жене укропропагандиста Гордона, что в России масло продают из-под полы и по большой цене. На Западе радостно подхватили и раздули.
Ну я узнал по роликам в сети с хохлами, которые на серьёзных щах рассказывают, что в России масла нет. "Москву и Санкт-Перебург ещё получше снабжают конечно, но в провинции...". Ржал как конь. Они видимо давно про ежей не вспоминали. Вот решили новую чушь пообсасывать.
Да они вообще не правильно поняли информацию и начали додумывать. У меня вот в Дикси у дома всё масло реально перенесли из большого холодильника в мелкий около касс. Может и другие магазины так поступили, от чего западные СМИ вдруг решили, что товар дефицитный. А по факту так сделали просто потому что уж очень много воров развелось, для которых это самый удобный товар. Маленькое и дорогое, вот по карманам и распихивали, а мы ж не в США, где это уже норма, наши действуют. Но воры то эти не от нужды, а просто потому что им там жить проще. Они это масло в промышленных масштабах пёрли, да перепродавали потом
I wish we had grocery stores near where we live. I think it’s cool that if you are in an apartment you could just go down the stairs and have everything there.

I make Ghee myself. Melt butter in hot water, let it cool down below freezing point in fridge, make a hole in frozen butter and drain the excess water from below it. Repeat 3 times. You have perfect Ghee butter cheep.

Glad to see it's all peaches and cream in Russia! (Sorry ,I meant butter...)
As somebody who got back from Russia 3 weeks ago and did plenty of grocery shopping in various Russian cities, I really don't understand the purpose of the butter propaganda. I obviously didn't go to every grocery store in Russia, but the ones I did shop in, which included Magnit, other supermarkets and bodegas known as "produktes", were clean, very well stocked and relative to New York, downright cheap. There was, of course, plenty of butter everywhere and at better than fair prices, at least compared to NY. I'm a huge fan of Russian butter, which used to be available in NY, albeit at exorbitant prices, because of the high quality and amazing taste. I will say, Russian butter, due to it's high fat content, is probably not the healthiest, but health be damned, spread that buttery goodness on all manner of excellent Russian bread, especially the dark variety.
By the way Russell, thank you for your video on the transit exhibit in Moscow. Based on that video my Russian wife and I went to the exhibit and were were glad we did. Russian public transportation is first class, especially relative to NY, and we were amazed at the quality and quantity of public transportation options. The Moscow in Soviet times exhibit was breathtaking and literally brought a tear to my wife. I actually took a picture of me trying to buy potatoes from the babushka and trying to pay in dollars. She was very good natured and actually wrapped some up for the photo. So, thanks again and keep up the good work! Молодец!

In the UK we seem to silently condone the petty criminal and anti-social behaviours and most people would just look the other way. Not the case there, in my experience. People generally are more considerate and well-behaved in public, no kids of all ages running amok, people give up seats for the elderly without being asked - small things like that.

Hey Russell, those tiny eggs with the dark spots are quail (bird) eggs. They are very tasty and healthy. The fact is, one quail egg is equal to one chicken egg by all the elements, but size is smaller. Pros: quail eggs do not have salmonella. Never. It's because the body temp of quial bird is higher than chicken body, and salmonella just can't exist there. Cons: quail eggs are way more expensive, and one have to spend more time to peel 'em boiled. You have to try it someday. 😋
Перепелиные яйца полезны в сыром виде. Я покупаю их у частного продавца, прямо из-под перепёлки.
this is complete nonsense, quail eggs have roughly the same protein and kcal as chicken eggs per weight. And quail eggs can have salmonella.

I do not get the idea with butter. I mean, arguing that the Russian economy has problems with high tech - I can get that to SOME degree. But Russia is a MAJOR agricultural powerhouse. OBVIOUSLY, they have cows, which OBVIOUSLY means they have Milk, Butter, Cheeses - not necessarily all kinds of cheese, but in general. It makes ZERO sense to assume Russia does not have Butter. By that same logic you can argue they have no natural gas. They also have bread - they do not export all the wheat and starve at home.

Great video. Russia must not struggle for food ever with such resources. Btw prices of food in the nonEU Europe precisely the Balkans are crazy:
our local producers are hardly price competitive even if quality is ok and at the same time imports are getting more and expensive. Come winter time we work for food and heating costs since most ppl use electricity and when carbon tax per kg of Co2/KWh kicks in in 2026 we will be kaput as regular ppl have no means to switch to "green" heating options even if it's a thing.
We are mostly living in apartment buildings so using coal and wood is not really an option esp. when you either have no elevator in older or a chimney in newly built ones.
For comparison butter 250 gr of good quality is cca 4.5 Eur while salaries are in the gutter, inflation rampant and only ppl having some decent living standards are either public employees (mid level and up) and corrupt politicians stealing on public procurement or dishonest businessmen evading taxes and not paying workers fully or legally at all.
This is a never ending nightmare. I hope other ppl have it easier...smh
Food isn't cheap in Russia if you are looking at their incomes. And I really want to see that country that charges 4.50 for 250g butter since even in der the UK it's way cheaper.
@cehaem2 I didn't say food was was cheap. Nothing is cheap these days. I said Russia need not struggle as they can produce a lot of food even export, there should never be shortages.
As for prices, Idk ab UK but price of quality butter and food in general (as well as services) is as I wrote i.e. high and going up for countries that import food which is why I said prices are insane and out of control here. Idk what else to tell you except look it up. Prices are online and easy to google 250 gr meggle butter konzum bosnia unless your intention is to argue in which case pls pass me by. Cheers

I went to Russia a few times and always had a pleasant experience. I visited a huge Lake that was a Lake formed by natural springs for most part, so clean and you could drink the Water right out of the Lake. People behaved responsible, didn't throw Trash around, it was clean all around. Russian are more aware and proud of there surroundings and country .There cusine is amazing and very, very close to the southern German cusine.

Except for the language everything in he shops looks modern, and the packaging is western or Japanese quality. There’s a ton of products to choose from. Russia food seems to be thriving. The consumers don’t look like they’re hurting for choice.
200 gram package 65% fat butter costs around €2 here in Romania, with 72% - 82% fat about €2.50 more or less, in the video there I saw some incredibly cheap butter assortments, 72% fat package at the price of 50₽=50 €urocents , even at 82% I saw that you have some cheaper assortments, although most of them still around €2.50 , all in all, there you have a wider range of selection.
This cheap 0.5$ butter is margarine/palm oil slope.
Eggs are only refrigerated in the USA as far as I understand. This is because eggs in USA are being processed through industrial car-wash style machines and this removes natural protective films which keep eggs free from bacteria penetrating the shell. In Europe eggs are not processed and therefore do not require refrigeration. UK supermarkets don't refrigerate eggs.
и в России тоже не хранятся в холоде
They are not "processed", they are just washed. Technically, the US system is better as ir prevents accidental contamination AFTER you have broken the shell but now with the source of potential contamination being practically removed there really isn't much difference. BTW. In the Soviet Union people would also refrigerate their eggs. Fridges would have an egg compartment on the door
@@cehaem2 How is it better? US eggs expire very quickly because their shell has been stripped of protection. They get contaminated easily and spoiled easily and that's why they need refrigeration. A waste of money and time for everyone from sellers to consumers.

Why on earth would butter be that hard to get or that expensive
Its literally just shaking milk= butter
To get a pack of 200 grams of butter, you will need 25-40 liters of milk, depending on the fat content. It is clear that natural butter is expensive.

The claim is laughable. In the UK, almost everything is moving toward anti-theft packaging. Go shopping in the UK, and you will see whole shelves of meat, fish, cheese, butter, and alcohol being swept into large carrier bags with no attempt to stop the theft, and apparently, no chance of the police turning up!
I think that depends on where you live and shop tbh. Several of my local Waitrose stores have not yet resorted to such measures, although the expensive items (e.g. prime beef) have security tags. Loca Sainsbury's shops have more of these, ditto Tesco and M&S. Can't speak for other stores, unfortunately. The thing is that people are just brazen and I've witnessed more than once someone just grabbing items and running out of the door, with security men chasing after them. If that happens in an affluent area (Richmond), imagine what's going on in the less well to do areas!!
In Canada, Montreal the butter is either in-house brand or a trade mark.
That's it...in a store you get only 2 butter brands.
Same for all diary products.
If you want something else, you go to another supermarket and get their in-house product, plus the same brand you found earlier.
So, there is no variety, there are no multiple producers.
That means, Canada is a totalitarian, centralized country where businesses do not thrive.
The only department where there is truly diversity is beer.
There you get dozens of products from multiple local and international producers.

To buy butter I go to a wholesale market in the vicinity of Moscow ring road. I usually buy 5 kg pack. There is a vast choice of butter - from Belarus, Altai in Siberia, or some localities in Lipetsk, Tambov or else. Last time in September 5 kg cost me 3,000 Roubles (approx.$30). I chop it into more convenient portions of 0.5 kg and store it in freezer. On this market I also buy cheese, chocolate, meat deli products and smoked fish. It comes cheaper to supply there.
I think I visited Globus Supermarket when I staying on the outskirts of St Petersburg. Love their massive supermarkets, much more exciting than the UK ones. The eggs you mentioned, I believe these are quael eggs.
You will see these "hypermarkets" all over Eastern Europe. They are usually located at shopping malls in the outskirts which sucks because a) getting there takes ages b) without a car you are basically skrewed. These malls sucked a lot of business oout of the city centres. Nowadays it's better but back in the 90s and early 2000s your only option would be an expensive convenience store. When I was in uni in the late 90s I did my weekly shopping once a week which would take me probably around 3,5h.

Thanks Russel. Our cheap (like home brand) butter in Australia (Coles, Wollies, Aldi) is $7 for 500g now. Other brands are more expensive though you don't see such a huge price variance like what you show there! The cheap eggs here are about $5.50 to $7 a dozen but you could pay &10/dozen. Cage eggs are cheaper but it would be hard to find any less than $4/dozen. Food is not locked up here and I've never heard about butter being locked up anywhere. The shops look normal there compared to here though I still can't get over the alcohol being sold at the grocery store there.

She has been able to fend off the attacks - until now.

Most likely was forced to quit. It doesn’t matter really, she’s out of the job. She quit soon after another key member of Nabuilina’s team Kirill Tremasov quit his position at the central Bank.
Nabuilina is in trouble. The question that remains is will she lose her job, or freedom as well, or else? Popcorn is ready, I keep watching.
-Another news is butter and eggs. Russians love butter. But not all can afford it now. Butter prices are skyrocketing. The minister of agriculture is very angry at butter producers. October 23rd, he called an emergency industry leaders meeting and threatened them to keep butter prices low. I wonder how they will be able to do that? On top of that, first imports of butter have started arriving to Russia from Turkey. First 20 000 metric tons.
This is a developing crisis (a serious one) and a shame at the time. I’ve been talking of how Russians cannot create own technologies, say gas turbines or car engines and transmittions. For goodness sake, they can’t even produce butter! Learn how to make butter first and stop buying it from Turkey!

You can find both butter and margarine, and their mixture (spread). The law prescribes their exact separation, so when buying butter, you can be sure that you are buying butter, and not a mixture with margarine.
Physically, they are usually next to each other, but the pack always clearly states what it is. Plus there is the composition - for butter, it is always cream.
What is shown in the video is butter. The minimum price for a pack of 180 grams with a fat content of 72% is 1.2 US dollars (at the rate of 1 dollar = 100 rubles). You can pay more - up to 2 dollars.
Butter with 82% fat content is a little more expensive - for the same pack it is already about 1.5 dollars and up to 2.5.
Large chains often have their own farms and production facilities, which allows them to keep the price a little lower than when purchasing from third-party manufacturers. So the minimum bar is just the own products of the retail chain. At the maximum, these are goods from different manufacturers, most often imported; transportation affects.
But there is a myth that everyone lies and counterfeits products. This is a religious belief - there is no force that could convince people otherwise. This allows you to sell for 2 dollars what you can buy for 1.2. Well, there are also Ukrainian bots that are ready to lie about everything that concerns Russia.
