@@maratshaydullin57 hey Akmet, in Moscow region, a house for 200m² on a piece of land 1000m² can be bought for the equivalent of £150k. In the UK, £150K buys you a tent.
@@wellardme yeah, in the US too. No wonder they're pushing the 'tiny home' phenomenon .. where people can't even stand upright in their so called bedroom and want you think that's normal.. adapt, crawl around like a pig, no way we want to curb greedy investor appetites and make houses affordable again, no.
All your words are on point! That's exactly why I love living here - in Russia in general and in Moscow in particular. If the "western world" tells me that I'm a bad guy - so be it, I love this "dark side" they claim we're on ;)
I live on Long Island and just took a trip to Phillipines, Hong Kong and Istanbul. All three can be better than NYC. The United States is basically third world. Go to BGC, Ortigas Center or Makati in the Phillipines and compare it to the top U. S. metro areas. Hong Kong is a bigger, MUCH safer Manhattan and while rents are through the roof you can still afford to eat out regularly. Istanbul's old city and Taksim Square is amazing and it even has a nightlife district .
Our heat is not from an excess of resources, but thanks to the technical organization - centralized heating from thermal power plants, in which heat is waste during electricity production. This is the legacy of the Soviet planned economy. У нас тепло не от избытка ресурсов, а благодаря технической организации - централизованное отопление от ТЭЦ, в которых тепло - отходы при производстве электроэнергии. Это наследие советской плановой экономики.
That is truly impressive. I really wish here in the USA, we would do things so wisely. Because so many of our poor die from the cold because heating can be so very expensive here. Thank you for sharing best wishes from Salem Massachusetts.
@@micirenea Well...remember those hot water tanks each has 5 years service life? Those are sold and bought and every one of those brings coins to a manufacturer and taxes to the governmind. Understand? Profit.
Ну, у этого есть и обратная сторона - довольно безобразные магистрали труб, обмотанные изоляцией, тянутся на километры. Как во всех больших централизованных системах там большие накладные расходы. Поэтому в новых многоэтажках застройщики ставят котельную на крыше - газ у нас действительно дешев. В итоге остается в основном экологический эффект - экономия топлива, а потребитель освобождается от экономии на тепле.
Госуслуги только для граждан РФ, для иностранцев пока такого нет. Но опять же, регистрация иностранных граждан не недостаток, а хоть какая-то гарантия безопасности

This "registration" thing is common across Europe. In Germany, you won't buy a sim card for your phone, let alone open a bank account or buy a monthly metro ticket if you are not officially registered at a specific address.
Not true. Anybody can get a SIM card by simply showing a passport. If you want to get a free phone with it or a contract for a longer period, that's different. You can get a one-month subway ticket from a machine without any ID, too. If you want to get the 49-euro ticket or a one-year subscription, you need proof of an address. Banks don't want to be scammed.
Yeah but in Europe a rental contract is generally enough to get registered, whereas in Russia it’s a pain in the butt. Plus most Russians don’t want to pay any taxes on their rental income (even 4%), so they’re afraid of officially registering someone.
Что меня убило, так это, налог на дождь!😂😂 А вот приводить извращенцев в детский сад можно, и насиловать их там можно!😡😡🤮🤮👎👎И не говорите,что этого не было в вашем парламенте женщина депутат об этом говорила.
Я бы не стал всю архитектуру советского периода выставлять в негативном ключе. Был сталинский период когда строили действительно величественные и красивые здания (пример: сталинские высотки) и был период урода Хрущева, когда испоганили всю страну. Так что, советская архитектура она очень разная.
Согласна, много красивых советских зданий, которые в сравнении с новыми постройками выигрывают. Может только у меня так, но мне нравится советский почерк в архитектуре: гранит, мозаика, абажуры 😮
@@efimovv кстати, хрущевки - надежное экономичное жилье. Есть недостатки, но и плюсов много. Фасады хрущевок не так плохи - нужно лишь их подкрашивать периодически и балконы запретить жильцам разные делать....ну можно было бы еще кровлю красивую придумать, что-нибудь типо полувальмы. А вот брежневки действительно уродливые и без шансов на излечение.
One of the cons of living in Moscow, map apps doesnt work in the center correctly most of the time because of security and conflict. But everything else is nicer then other big cities.
I'd also add that Moscow is pretty much well planned city, specifically, within the city there's a subway cobweb covering every corner, new surface trains making a perfect circle, buses, and so on, yet the city is massive, hence it takes time to get somewhere, however, you can estimate your trip accurately. And speaking of air quality, come on man, it also depends on where you live, for instance, I spend my youth and some more in Kuntsevo district (is it called a district?)), it's very green, almost entire area is a one big park zone, and then neighbouring one is called Krylatskoye, there's Moscow river, its "promenade", and park Fili, and past cycling track, etc. For sure, there's something we call "ебеня" like Kapotnya 😅 and there's this toxic congestion 24/7, you don't want to be there. But yeah, this is the idea. I moved out from Russia because of the DAMN COLD 🥶❄️🥶 Even though it's so warm inside, it's also DAMN COLD outside 😂😢 Just noty cup of 🍵. Anyways, very nice to listen to your perspective on things in Moscow, and Russia in general ❤ keep it up!! ✌️
pls ignore the trolls, don't try to make a video trying to win the trolls. when you make a list about 10 things you like - do so without trying to compromise the negative you think other people will like. registering when you first move in is a standard for all country that prioritize security for it's citizen. loving the videos about Russia, can't wait to visit someday.

Thank you for appreciating my home country Russia. It is so underrated when it comes to tourism. Tourism is there but it is not on that level due to negative projections by the West which are exaggrated lies.
Западным политикам невыгодно, чтобы в Россию туристы приезжали и видели всё своими глазами, а потом спрашивали своё правительство, почему так много налогов с них берут, а в их городах грязно и небезопасно по сравнению с российскими городами. До сих пор в своих СМИ о России пишут и показывают, как будто мы до сих пор в 90-х застряли.
You forgot about traffic jams espessialy during rush hour. Yes, the problem with air is also due to traffic jams in the center. I am living at Elektrozavodskaya station. It's 15 minutes by metro to the center or 30 minutes by car. My neighbourhood is greener than the center and Moscow city (skyline). But i can say that it's better air quality if we are comparing with other city. Cause i lived in other big cities. I hate bureaucracy. When I opened an individual entrepreneur, employees filled out the paperwork for me. Even for Russians bureaucracy is tricky. That's why mayor decided to help people. Also you forget to say that we have got the best mayor in the world. He has created the best transport system in the world. And i can see that he's trying to solve all of this problems.
Moscow is officially recognized as the greenest megalopolis in the world. Also in Moscow there are so-called "green wedges". This was conceived back in the USSR. These are real forests within the city. There is nothing like this in any other megalopolis in the world. So the statement about the lack of parks is very controversial.
I disagree about the "not green" part. If it's important to you, just pick the area with parks around. Now it sounds like "I decided to live in the middle of Red Square, and it's just not enough trees". Well... Moscow is one of the greenest larger cities in Europe. Compare to Rome or Barcelona, or Paris. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow#Parks_and_landmarks
Soviet architecture is also beautiful....the parks...come on...the big 7 (sisters, was it?) buildings...I love it! Moscow is a perfect blend and it adequatelly represents a glorious often difficult but nonetheless impressive history. As a mega city yes it can and probably will get greener as it hopefully sustainably develops woth the rest of the country too.
It's surprisingly refreshing to see a regular American in Russia and not a "my wife divorced me after I gained 100 pounds and western woman are too woke so I moved to Siberia so I could have 10 kids" or "look how many things I can buy in the Russian grocery store, sanctions aren't working" content or the polar opposite of "look how poor babushkas in the village are with their $100 pensions" or "look how if you hold a blank sign up on red square you'll be taken to jail immediately". Keep it up! I spent 2 months in Peter and it was just like Helsinki or Berlin, with a wide range of people of every political or social viewpoint. The only downside is the view count on the clickbait is always going to be higher, especially because sometimes it gets botted up.
I lived and studies in Germany for two years. Berlin, to be exact. You know what? They don’t like pretty people. If you ever stay there, you’ll feel that, too. It’s in the air. The atmosphere. In Russia, they do. You are very pretty, too.
Fun Fact about Russia: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as either a puppet state of London or to be fully brought back into the fold of the British Empire. London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene. Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it. There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.
The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war. The name of the ship was called the CSS Shenandoah. Its surrender was at Liverpool England where Confederate Commander Bulloch was stationed. Bulloch was the head spy Chief for the Confederates and main go between for London, Montreal, and Richmond. He was heavily involved in the finance of the South with British banking and supplied the south with its warships as most of them were made by the British. He was good friends with those who drafted the Very discriminatory Confederate Constitution and those that would later create the 'Clan'. He was also heavily involved in the assassinations of Lincoln and his cabinet members. He was Also the Uncle to President Theodore Roosevelt (on his mothers side of course) and Teddy greatly looked up to him and learned much from him from a very early age. Teddy called him 'Uncle Jimmy'. This is where Teddy Roosevelt got the idea for the 'Eff Bee Eye' he modeled it almost exactly from Londons 'Em Eye Five'. Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.
I totally agree with all your reasons. But I'm pretty sure, the reason they make everyone coming into Russia, show proof of where they live, is to KEEP that very low crime rate VERY LOW! Very Smart!!
It’s not all just Soviet era architecture, correct? Also buildings and architecture from the imperial era as well, no? Also, a lot of the Orthodox churches date back way before the 19th century. Older than the U.S. I would imagine 😂. Thanks for sharing.
Саня, есть еще минус. Comparing to Paris or London, we in Moscow are now kinda cut off from the global stuff. Hip-hop concerts, streetwear brands, supply of best european cosmetics. It helped us to develop our own cool stuff, but still being able to order your favorite clothing in Europe and attend your favorite artist’s concert is a nice feeling. I mean we used to have Young Thug and Yung Lean and many more, but not anymore. But again, I’m sure post war all this will return to Moscow and our brands will compete with western ones, that would be awesome.
You can order anything european or american through delivery services like CDEK is offering (and others). You overpay, yes, but you pay in rubles and don't have any hassle at all. Also many european stuff is available either on Avito or Ozon. Capitalism is capitalism, money buys everything.
Good luck to you in our wonderful country; though of course, our country has some pros and cons, and dedenitelly many things should be improved for common people. ❤ I feel you will be fine!
A likable young man. What he is talking about is believable because it is all documented from other sources. I think it is extreme time for the powers in the United States and Canada to take action to reverse the downtrend. Let's start with the food supply to minimize excessive obesity, cause of endless health problems.
I used to live in Moscow, now in Germany and can second it. Compared to Russia, utilities are crazily expensive here. You can't use as much water, heating, electricity as you want to because you will need to get a loan to pay your bills afterwards.
Air quality is bad in winter, same as winter itself is dirty in Moscow. But indeed this can be negated by choosing the place smart, as all amazing Moscow services and infrastructure work pretty much everywhere.
Hey, Alexander, what are the analytics of posting videos in Russian and English interchangeably? I mostly post sports videos. But I've been thinking to possibly start a new channel for speaking.

Moscow is great man, I completely agree. I am Russian, and I have left Western world because of the reasons you mentioned in part one. But, Russia wasn't in my list at all. I still remember what Russia is. So thanks but no thanks. Westeners are having a different feeling of what Russian community is. You have this sort of a aura that you see in this community. There's no. It's the same as when I came to Clownada, I felt that people are friendly and courteous and all that. I had the same deceptive feeling about the people, same as you are having right now. Don't buy into that my advice. Right now people in Russia at an age of 30ish, those are all complete braniwashed. I remember 90s and 2000, and believe me people were really street smarter then.

Moscow is cool. I would live there but I don't recognise your description of London at all. Londoners are from all regions and it's possible you don't understand English as spoken by the English with all our accents.

I will never understand why you love Moscow so much. That city is overrated honestly. And it’s so damn expensive to live there. Unless you have a cutthroat, selfish lifestyle where you are willing to work yourself to death go for it. This is just my perspective of that city. I do admire its beauty and history but even if I become wealthy in the far future that city is just a place for me to visit. Never ever to live there. You can find similar cities in Russia that are big but don’t have this hustle and bustle lifestyle you mentioned. Like Sevastopol Crimea, Krasnodar, or Habayarsk. And this is just me but if I become a wealthy man, I’d live in Crimea and just live the rest of my life subscription there. So peaceful, calm, and without the drama and bs of the Muscovite hustle and bustle.
Try to travel around Russia more and speak to locals outside of Moscow. I don't think it's fair to compare the whole US to Moscow, although it is fair to compare NYC to Moscow, I'd agree.

Ah yes, the classic “I’m just a dude living in Moscow, definitely not paid by RT” disclaimer-because nothing screams neutrality like starting with a defensive stance. But hey, let’s give you the benefit of the doubt. Let’s dive into your top reasons why Moscow is supposedly the best place on Earth. *“Moscow is a world-class city”* Sure, Moscow is big. No one’s arguing that. But calling it a "world-class city" because people drive Rolls-Royces and G-Wagons? That’s a bit like saying Las Vegas is a cultural mecca because it has a lot of neon lights. I mean, yes, there’s wealth in Moscow-conveniently concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs and politicians. You see Rolls-Royces; most Russians see the inside of a crowded metro. *“Low crime and chill vibes”* Low crime? In Moscow? That's cute. It’s true you might not get stabbed on your way to Starbucks like in certain parts of the U.S., but you’ve conveniently left out how "crime" works in Russia. You know, like when journalists fall out of windows or opposition leaders get poisoned. But sure, keep flexing about the lack of pickpockets. *“Moscow has a ‘hustle culture’”* I love the comparison to New York’s hustle. Yes, people are "hustling" in Moscow too… mostly trying to figure out how to survive under an authoritarian regime that throws you in jail for attending the wrong protest or posting the wrong thing on social media. Very entrepreneurial! *“World-class universities”* Ah, the Soviet experience, complete with peeling paint and a total disregard for personal space in dorm rooms. And while you’re bragging about Russia’s “world-class” education, let’s not forget that the Russian government is actively rewriting textbooks to erase inconvenient bits of history like, say, Stalin’s purges. But hey, at least you don’t get indoctrinated with “Marxist ideology,” right? Except when you do, but under a new name. *“Low crime and safe streets, again”* Wait, didn't we cover crime already? Oh, now it's about how you can walk around with a Rolex and not get mugged. Sure, as long as you steer clear of political dissent or, heaven forbid, speaking out against the government. In which case, you might not get mugged, but you could definitely get "invited" for a chat with the FSB. *“Beautiful architecture”* True, Moscow has beautiful Orthodox churches and historical buildings. And then there's also the delightful Soviet blocks that look like someone thought, "What if we made buildings look like they hate you?" Also, I guess you just get used to that state-sponsored dreariness after a while. *“It’s warm in the winter thanks to unlimited natural gas”* Wow, what a perk! Unlimited heat in the winter while Ukraine is being bombed for its energy infrastructure and Europe braces for gas shortages because Russia uses its “unlimited natural resources” as a geopolitical weapon. But sure, it’s cozy in Moscow! *“Bureaucracy is totally fine now, trust me”* Good to know Russian bureaucracy is a thing of the past! I’m sure all those Western expats will just glide through the immigration process like butter. Or maybe they'll get stuck in a web of outdated paperwork, arbitrary rules, and officials who may or may not show up on time. But no worries, as long as it’s "online" now. Russia, the land of efficient government services! So, to sum up: Yes, Moscow is big. Yes, it’s got rich people. But the image you’re painting of Russia is about as accurate as a state-sponsored news broadcast. You can spin all the perks of Moscow life you want, but we all know that behind the shiny cars and pretty churches is a crumbling system propped up by fear, propaganda, and a little too much “hustle” from the government. Enjoy your “Soviet experience”! 😏
Ukrainian bots make their money’s worth. I wonder how he learned to type in bold. Are there any more tricks? Like coloring the text to make it look like you donated? Like using AI to promote certain comments? On anti-Russia channels, comments with good arguments disappear from the front page after some time and can only be found chronologically. 1. You disprove a popular front-page comment by making an excellent and irrefutable point (or several comments) 2. You wait an hour. 3. You scroll all the way down - and aren't there!

As for AI, if it’s promoting comments like yours, I’d say it needs a tune-up.

Also, sorting by "newest first" might reveal something even more shocking: it’s called time. But hey, your comments won’t go missing on RuTube for sure-maybe it’s time to switch!

disagree with you about worldclass universities...we had to study a lot of garbage things that is absolutely useless... all of those classes were required. studying at university turned out to be a waste of time. A completed degree and even knowledge don't garantee that you can find a job in your field. I'd rather take educational loan to be better educated and have perspectives.

Да, я тоже обратила внимание про зелень, мне кажется в некоторых районах Москвы даже лесополоса есть не маленькой площади и парков много
@@vimax_b да, мало зелини, думаю в лондоне или в париже больше. Москва просто мега город

This "registration" thing is common across Europe. In Germany, you won't buy a sim card for your phone, let alone open a bank account or buy a monthly metro ticket if you are not officially registered at a specific address.
When you move to Germany, you're required by law to register within two weeks; otherwise, you may have to pay a fine.
Not true. Anybody can get a SIM card by simply showing a passport. If you want to get a free phone with it or a contract for a longer period, that's different. You can get a one-month subway ticket from a machine without any ID, too. If you want to get the 49-euro ticket or a one-year subscription, you need proof of an address. Banks don't want to be scammed.
Yeah but in Europe a rental contract is generally enough to get registered, whereas in Russia it’s a pain in the butt. Plus most Russians don’t want to pay any taxes on their rental income (even 4%), so they’re afraid of officially registering someone.

Я бы не стал всю архитектуру советского периода выставлять в негативном ключе. Был сталинский период когда строили действительно величественные и красивые здания (пример: сталинские высотки) и был период урода Хрущева, когда испоганили всю страну. Так что, советская архитектура она очень разная.
Так Хрущев забил на красоту радио количества. Население росло, нужно было обеспечить народ жильем
@@JamieMoonJM Хрущевки начали разрабатывать ещё при Сталине, при нём только массовое строительство развернули.
По повод учисто советской архитектуры есть ещё конструктивизм и модернизм, которые так же незаслуженно забывают.
Согласна, много красивых советских зданий, которые в сравнении с новыми постройками выигрывают. Может только у меня так, но мне нравится советский почерк в архитектуре: гранит, мозаика, абажуры 😮
@@efimovv кстати, хрущевки - надежное экономичное жилье. Есть недостатки, но и плюсов много. Фасады хрущевок не так плохи - нужно лишь их подкрашивать периодически и балконы запретить жильцам разные делать....ну можно было бы еще кровлю красивую придумать, что-нибудь типо полувальмы. А вот брежневки действительно уродливые и без шансов на излечение.
One of the cons of living in Moscow, map apps doesnt work in the center correctly most of the time because of security and conflict. But everything else is nicer then other big cities.
I'd also add that Moscow is pretty much well planned city, specifically, within the city there's a subway cobweb covering every corner, new surface trains making a perfect circle, buses, and so on, yet the city is massive, hence it takes time to get somewhere, however, you can estimate your trip accurately. And speaking of air quality, come on man, it also depends on where you live, for instance, I spend my youth and some more in Kuntsevo district (is it called a district?)), it's very green, almost entire area is a one big park zone, and then neighbouring one is called Krylatskoye, there's Moscow river, its "promenade", and park Fili, and past cycling track, etc. For sure, there's something we call "ебеня" like Kapotnya 😅 and there's this toxic congestion 24/7, you don't want to be there. But yeah, this is the idea. I moved out from Russia because of the DAMN COLD 🥶❄️🥶 Even though it's so warm inside, it's also DAMN COLD outside 😂😢 Just noty cup of 🍵. Anyways, very nice to listen to your perspective on things in Moscow, and Russia in general ❤ keep it up!! ✌️
pls ignore the trolls, don't try to make a video trying to win the trolls. when you make a list about 10 things you like - do so without trying to compromise the negative you think other people will like. registering when you first move in is a standard for all country that prioritize security for it's citizen. loving the videos about Russia, can't wait to visit someday.

It's the Khokhals who write such comments, any city near Moscow and not only will beat Kiev.
Jaws. The Jawish people spread this propaganda against Russia.
Thank you for appreciating my home country Russia. It is so underrated when it comes to tourism. Tourism is there but it is not on that level due to negative projections by the West which are exaggrated lies.
Западным политикам невыгодно, чтобы в Россию туристы приезжали и видели всё своими глазами, а потом спрашивали своё правительство, почему так много налогов с них берут, а в их городах грязно и небезопасно по сравнению с российскими городами. До сих пор в своих СМИ о России пишут и показывают, как будто мы до сих пор в 90-х застряли.
You forgot about traffic jams espessialy during rush hour. Yes, the problem with air is also due to traffic jams in the center. I am living at Elektrozavodskaya station. It's 15 minutes by metro to the center or 30 minutes by car. My neighbourhood is greener than the center and Moscow city (skyline). But i can say that it's better air quality if we are comparing with other city. Cause i lived in other big cities. I hate bureaucracy. When I opened an individual entrepreneur, employees filled out the paperwork for me. Even for Russians bureaucracy is tricky. That's why mayor decided to help people. Also you forget to say that we have got the best mayor in the world. He has created the best transport system in the world. And i can see that he's trying to solve all of this problems.
Moscow is officially recognized as the greenest megalopolis in the world. Also in Moscow there are so-called "green wedges". This was conceived back in the USSR. These are real forests within the city. There is nothing like this in any other megalopolis in the world. So the statement about the lack of parks is very controversial.
I disagree about the "not green" part. If it's important to you, just pick the area with parks around. Now it sounds like "I decided to live in the middle of Red Square, and it's just not enough trees". Well... Moscow is one of the greenest larger cities in Europe. Compare to Rome or Barcelona, or Paris. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow#Parks_and_landmarks
Since you work in the IT industry: can you speak about Russian IT industry, how is the culture, how many liberals are there, how are the wages etc.
Soviet architecture is also beautiful....the parks...come on...the big 7 (sisters, was it?) buildings...I love it! Moscow is a perfect blend and it adequatelly represents a glorious often difficult but nonetheless impressive history. As a mega city yes it can and probably will get greener as it hopefully sustainably develops woth the rest of the country too.
Hey, "soviet" architecture is monumental, man!
Btw, there ARE synonyms for "sketchy". Try a few.

It's surprisingly refreshing to see a regular American in Russia and not a "my wife divorced me after I gained 100 pounds and western woman are too woke so I moved to Siberia so I could have 10 kids" or "look how many things I can buy in the Russian grocery store, sanctions aren't working" content or the polar opposite of "look how poor babushkas in the village are with their $100 pensions" or "look how if you hold a blank sign up on red square you'll be taken to jail immediately".

Fun Fact about Russia: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as either a puppet state of London or to be fully brought back into the fold of the British Empire.
London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene.
Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it.
There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.
The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war. The name of the ship was called the CSS Shenandoah. Its surrender was at Liverpool England where Confederate Commander Bulloch was stationed.
Bulloch was the head spy Chief for the Confederates and main go between for London, Montreal, and Richmond. He was heavily involved in the finance of the South with British banking and supplied the south with its warships as most of them were made by the British. He was good friends with those who drafted the Very discriminatory Confederate Constitution and those that would later create the 'Clan'. He was also heavily involved in the assassinations of Lincoln and his cabinet members. He was Also the Uncle to President Theodore Roosevelt (on his mothers side of course) and Teddy greatly looked up to him and learned much from him from a very early age. Teddy called him 'Uncle Jimmy'. This is where Teddy Roosevelt got the idea for the 'Eff Bee Eye' he modeled it almost exactly from Londons 'Em Eye Five'.
Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.
Interesting indeed!

Саня, есть еще минус. Comparing to Paris or London, we in Moscow are now kinda cut off from the global stuff. Hip-hop concerts, streetwear brands, supply of best european cosmetics. It helped us to develop our own cool stuff, but still being able to order your favorite clothing in Europe and attend your favorite artist’s concert is a nice feeling. I mean we used to have Young Thug and Yung Lean and many more, but not anymore. But again, I’m sure post war all this will return to Moscow and our brands will compete with western ones, that would be awesome.
You can order anything european or american through delivery services like CDEK is offering (and others). You overpay, yes, but you pay in rubles and don't have any hassle at all. Also many european stuff is available either on Avito or Ozon. Capitalism is capitalism, money buys everything.

I used to live in Moscow, now in Germany and can second it. Compared to Russia, utilities are crazily expensive here. You can't use as much water, heating, electricity as you want to because you will need to get a loan to pay your bills afterwards.
Air quality is bad in winter, same as winter itself is dirty in Moscow. But indeed this can be negated by choosing the place smart, as all amazing Moscow services and infrastructure work pretty much everywhere.

I will never understand why you love Moscow so much. That city is overrated honestly. And it’s so damn expensive to live there. Unless you have a cutthroat, selfish lifestyle where you are willing to work yourself to death go for it. This is just my perspective of that city. I do admire its beauty and history but even if I become wealthy in the far future that city is just a place for me to visit. Never ever to live there. You can find similar cities in Russia that are big but don’t have this hustle and bustle lifestyle you mentioned. Like Sevastopol Crimea, Krasnodar, or Habayarsk. And this is just me but if I become a wealthy man, I’d live in Crimea and just live the rest of my life subscription there. So peaceful, calm, and without the drama and bs of the Muscovite hustle and bustle.

but you DID interviews with RT and you have connections there. so I call BS, you are on their payroll
you are a total idiot 🙄 lololol 😄
Так, а на СВО когда пойдем?
Ah yes, the classic “I’m just a dude living in Moscow, definitely not paid by RT” disclaimer-because nothing screams neutrality like starting with a defensive stance. But hey, let’s give you the benefit of the doubt. Let’s dive into your top reasons why Moscow is supposedly the best place on Earth.
*“Moscow is a world-class city”*
Sure, Moscow is big. No one’s arguing that. But calling it a "world-class city" because people drive Rolls-Royces and G-Wagons? That’s a bit like saying Las Vegas is a cultural mecca because it has a lot of neon lights. I mean, yes, there’s wealth in Moscow-conveniently concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs and politicians. You see Rolls-Royces; most Russians see the inside of a crowded metro.
*“Low crime and chill vibes”*
Low crime? In Moscow? That's cute. It’s true you might not get stabbed on your way to Starbucks like in certain parts of the U.S., but you’ve conveniently left out how "crime" works in Russia. You know, like when journalists fall out of windows or opposition leaders get poisoned. But sure, keep flexing about the lack of pickpockets.
*“Moscow has a ‘hustle culture’”*
I love the comparison to New York’s hustle. Yes, people are "hustling" in Moscow too… mostly trying to figure out how to survive under an authoritarian regime that throws you in jail for attending the wrong protest or posting the wrong thing on social media. Very entrepreneurial!
*“World-class universities”*
Ah, the Soviet experience, complete with peeling paint and a total disregard for personal space in dorm rooms. And while you’re bragging about Russia’s “world-class” education, let’s not forget that the Russian government is actively rewriting textbooks to erase inconvenient bits of history like, say, Stalin’s purges. But hey, at least you don’t get indoctrinated with “Marxist ideology,” right? Except when you do, but under a new name.
*“Low crime and safe streets, again”*
Wait, didn't we cover crime already? Oh, now it's about how you can walk around with a Rolex and not get mugged. Sure, as long as you steer clear of political dissent or, heaven forbid, speaking out against the government. In which case, you might not get mugged, but you could definitely get "invited" for a chat with the FSB.
*“Beautiful architecture”*
True, Moscow has beautiful Orthodox churches and historical buildings. And then there's also the delightful Soviet blocks that look like someone thought, "What if we made buildings look like they hate you?" Also, I guess you just get used to that state-sponsored dreariness after a while.
*“It’s warm in the winter thanks to unlimited natural gas”*
Wow, what a perk! Unlimited heat in the winter while Ukraine is being bombed for its energy infrastructure and Europe braces for gas shortages because Russia uses its “unlimited natural resources” as a geopolitical weapon. But sure, it’s cozy in Moscow!
*“Bureaucracy is totally fine now, trust me”*
Good to know Russian bureaucracy is a thing of the past! I’m sure all those Western expats will just glide through the immigration process like butter. Or maybe they'll get stuck in a web of outdated paperwork, arbitrary rules, and officials who may or may not show up on time. But no worries, as long as it’s "online" now. Russia, the land of efficient government services!
So, to sum up: Yes, Moscow is big. Yes, it’s got rich people. But the image you’re painting of Russia is about as accurate as a state-sponsored news broadcast. You can spin all the perks of Moscow life you want, but we all know that behind the shiny cars and pretty churches is a crumbling system propped up by fear, propaganda, and a little too much “hustle” from the government. Enjoy your “Soviet experience”! 😏
Ukrainian bots make their money’s worth. I wonder how he learned to type in bold. Are there any more tricks? Like coloring the text to make it look like you donated? Like using AI to promote certain comments?
On anti-Russia channels, comments with good arguments disappear from the front page after some time and can only be found chronologically. 1. You disprove a popular front-page comment by making an excellent and irrefutable point (or several comments) 2. You wait an hour. 3. You scroll all the way down - and aren't there! You sort the comments by “newest first” - there they are; but no one gets to see them anymore.

As for AI, if it’s promoting comments like yours, I’d say it needs a tune-up. And about those disappearing "excellent" arguments-maybe they vanish because they don’t hold up when the facts are checked? Just a thought. Also, sorting by "newest first" might reveal something even more shocking: it’s called time. But hey, your comments won’t go missing on RuTube for sure-maybe it’s time to switch!

disagree with you about worldclass universities...we had to study a lot of garbage things that is absolutely useless... all of those classes were required. studying at university turned out to be a waste of time.

Такому уже не помочь
@@IrenaV-c4p почему не помочь? Можете дать мне гринку или хотя бы рабочую визу
I've done that. Freedom at least in the US is a meme. But indeed go ahead and try! By the way - the American mindset is that you do it yourself, not wait until the opportunity falls into your open mouth. Do you have it?
Радуется жизни в России а сам гадит по-тихоньку России. Это моë личное впечатлентие после просмотра некоторых видосов. Его любимое слово sketchy
Москва может и лучше Лондона, но есть, например Париж, который во многом лучше Москвы (в архитектуре например)
Может быть если бы Париж не был таким грязным 😢
@@DrLubaLee все будет хорошо, главное смотреть с оптимизмом) Главное это любовь к своему городу, ухаживать и улучшать его.
Чем лучше? Просто бренд раскрученный. Я вот во Франции когда была, думала, сейчас поем знаменитой французской кухни. Господи, такой претенциозной, пафосной и, при этом, невкусной еды я потом больше нигде не ела. К счастью.
Россия умеет перенимать все хорошее, что есть у других. И делать это круче, лучше, комфортнее, вкуснее, удобнее, быстрее, смертоноснее и так далее.
Балет, оружие, космос, атомная промышленность, медицина, АйТи, архитектура, музеи, спорт.
Все умеем. Кроме саморекламы :)
Paris is overrun with terrorism and outsiders and infected with the woke virus. To each his own...
@@_k1mjke Ну если сравнивать с Францией, со всеми пунктами я согласен, за искл атомной эн. Франция тоже в лидерах в этой отрасли)
И не соглашусь, что французская кухня не вкусная... вы видимо только в одном месте поели и все
Извините, не хотел на вас давить правда))) Чисто мое субъективное мнение
what about freedom and protesting against the regime? Yeah right, that's a prison sentence......
What about freedom in Europe protesting against uncontrolled migration and LGBT regime? Yeah right, that's prison sentence...
Lmao. You are so out of reality
Are you protesting against the regime in the "west"? How fast are you getting fired from your job if you say anything against the prevailing western narrative?
А если все устраивает,зачем протестовать?😂😂 В США тоже протестовали ворвавшись в парламент ,и что получилось? 😂😂😂
Egalitarianism and its consequences... Protesting against the regime is an essential part of human life now.
