Bribes and stealing, stories from the Russian-Georgian border

- In honour of hero, Ruslan Zinin.
I went to the Russian-Georgian border to try and hear the stories from the crossing Russians.
You can see my trip on the map on my Polarsteps: Noah Meconium
And extra clips on my Instagram: Meconiumnoah
Georgians lost 2 regions to Russia. I hope the Rus refugees are being respectful of this.
Russians doesnt know the word "respect". These people didnt care when russia invaded Georgia and stole land, murdered civilans etc, and didnt care when Ukrainians was attacked and murdered. But now, when the shit hits the fan, they flee to people they've earlier opressed and want shelter.
Do they understand the meaning of respectful? So far I have seen a lot of disrespect from Russians towards Ukrainians and Ukrainian supporters.
Im sure the Russian refuges will be educated on what really has been happening to their neighbours.
And Russia keeps stealing metres every week
Georgians often refuse to speak Russian, so when the Russians get there they have to speak English.
Whilst the stories are sad, I have to say that I do not feel sorry for the people of Russia. They should be staying home and freeing their country from the rule of gangsters like Putin & co.
Why do they only run away when *their lives* are in danger? Those thousands of innocent Ukrainians who were killed in recent months did not matter? Only when their lives are at risk? I can't understand this, sorry.
Also, you emphasize how much money people have to pay for this and that - look, that is just money. Believe me that those people that are killed in Ukraine every day would give everything they have to live just one more day with their loved ones.
Yes but in Russia, engaging in any public protest significantly increases your chances of accidentally falling out a 15 storey window.
@@emailofjamesw Why, getting killed while fighting a war that nobody wants besides of Putin is any better? What is the difference? Like actually haveing balls to stand up for yourself? The entire situation, how Russia is today and how it has been in the past 30 years, is to blame on the Russian people themselves, because they are the ones who allow it. Why don't we have it in western countries? Because we throw out anyone immediately who attempts even 1% of what Russian "leaders" do, though calling them gangsters would probably be closer to the truth. The bad example of Germany and Russia stands as an example in front of all of us, and trust me, we have all learned from it. Actually, talking of the Germans, it is exemplary how they teach about the bad choices of the past in schools to their children, while all that happens in Eastern Europe is acting as nothing has ever happened and looking the other way and minding your own business all the time. That way, you won't have your freedom. Never.
They'll go back when it's safe and do what the next guy tells them and whine about how they're not responsible and can do nothing like they have been for the last hundred years
@@emailofjamesw In the Czech Republic more than a million protested until they had freedom in the Velvet Revolution. In Ruzzia Ruzzians just run away...
Awfully harsh judgment. My mother had a funny saying when I was a kid when I would be judging someone else. She used to say, “Never judge an Indian until you walk a mile in their moccasins.“ I thought it was dorky when I was a kid but looking back, she was right. I don’t know that I would do anything different than what these guys have done if I were in their situation.
I have great compassion for these guys. They deserve sanctuary. They are political refugees. It doesn’t mean they can’t go back to Russia when Putin falls to try to form a better government, it just means they’re not willing to kill or be killed for a perverse and corrupt government. In a perfect world? Yeah it would be nice if they were organized and able to stand up to the megalithic monster that is their government and Armed Forces. But they’re just ordinary guys. They’re frightened and they’re trying to escape hell. I have great compassion for them as well as Ukrainians who are suffering. The whole situation is appalling.
Maybe Russians need to be as brave as Iranian women!
Victory, peace, Ukraine!

Great comment👏👏
Retarded comment
LOL
Thanks for sharing that, it was fascinating.
Only one day after filming ( i.e. after September 26th), this happened: “… Mobile draft offices have been set up near the busiest border checkpoints that hand out call-up papers to the men turned away at the border. A draft office was opened at 8:00 AM on 27 September near the Verkhny Lars checkpoint on the border with Georgia.”
Thank you for sharing, I feel for everyone right now. Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Kia Kaha, Be Strong Ukraine 🇺🇦

I wonder if Putin prefers to keep men in the country for possible mobilization or let dissenters leave in order to prevent protests and chaos.
Interest observation. Maybe Putin never considered the flight of so many. 🙄
these are not dissenters, they just don't want to go into the military to die. Putin has millions of men from the countryside and the Caucasus he can press into the military. He couldn't care less about the St Petersburg or Moscow smartphone bloggers and Telegram experts.
I feel for people but maybe it's time to stand up for whats right instead of running 😟
How? They are just ordinary guys with ordinary lives who aren’t in any organized resistance. I refuse to judge them for fleeing the wickedness. I’ll leave that to God.
apparently, they are drafting people who attend protests, I think if enough people run the country will not function thats actually what ended communism and caused them to build the iron curtain in the first place
@@maryvalentine9090 Stand up for Russia and sovereignty, not for the nazis in Ukraine and NATO lol
Agreed!
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this story.

ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
.. In OLD Orthodox Jewish Bible KABIR is mentioned...KABIR means (GREAT or MIGHTY GOD) in hebrew...but when translated in different languages translator removed KABIR word.....
Amazing story. Horrible situation for all those involved. Thanks for sharing!
Just a heads up.. your “about me” section on your channel says “these are vlogs about my defecation”.
There is only one definition for the word “defecation” and it means “to poop”.
So your “about me” section literally says “these are vlogs about my poop”.
You may want to change that and use a word that accurately describes what you are trying to say.
Thanks, but it's a joke on my name. You should google what meconium means, that will explain it.
@@TheMeconiumMan just googled it. Ew gross. 😳
@@TheMeconiumMan I almost did not watch your video as a former nurse I know what meconium is and if it was not this subject matter I would not have clicked on your channel. May want to consider a modification if you want to grow your channel.
@@MsRedsphere it symbolises the first "shit" I put online. Also it's a little bit funny, right?
The only good thing that might come out of this war would be Crimea, Georgia and Moldova being freed from Russian occupation. I understand why these people are fleeing but they hold some culpability for what their country is doing/has done to their neighbors via apathy and an unwillingness to stand up when it counted.
Putin is one man the myth the Russian people can't understand
They’re obviously chicken chits.
The people in russia who did stand up and protest are in jail - it's different to protest in a military state - the best thing they can do is join the military then surrender to Ukraine when they get to the frontlines
@@jreifsnyder2225, Do you believe that Putin can jail everyone in Russia?
They’re chicken chits. That’s a fact. 10 million Russians have left Russia. 300,000 left so far after mobilization. Russia’s entire military, including logistics is 1 million. If the Russians who left were to fight, they could very easily defeat the Russian military. Especially while they are busy losing to Ukraine.
@@jreifsnyder2225 Indeed. It's western mindset to think that they can just protest and force their government to do the "right" thing. I have friends who left Russia long before all this latest nightmare. Their stories are difficult for us westerners to believe. GULags are not "just" prisons ... I agree that the Russian people need to develop accountability; they do have a mindset to assign blame to deflect responsibility (I would argue a survival, self-preservation mechanism). And, I also think it's western shortsightedness to believe it's just a matter of not being apathetic - it's far more complex than that. Yes, I'm a westerner.
Slava Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes.
A cuáles héroes y de quién?? Intereses estadounidenses 😂🤑💲🤑💲 😃
Here is the famous 60kms russian convoy
Beautifull landscape, only circumstances of those people traped there are grim.
Interesting story, thank you!
Russians should accept mobilisation. This is the biggest opportunity to getting access to a gun inside Russia. Can you imagine if more than 300K Russians that fled actually got hold of guns through mobilisation, then turn them against putin? This would be a successful revolution from with in and perhaps bring peace worldwide
I really appreciate what ur doing--if u need anything I'm in San Francisco let me know here
Border police appears to be one of the most lucrative careers in Russia right now.
"Russian Refugee?"
Who attacked Russia?
Putin
@@marcinna8553 brilliant reply😊
Glad you tried and was interesting to get a first hand view of what is going on there. Keep trying no one else is doing this up close and personal account.
I was at that monastery in your background in May, did they provide any assistance like food or tea to the men?
Nope nothing
@@TheMeconiumMan missed opportunity. Sorry to hear that.
FYI Crimea is Ukraine currently occupied by Russia!
100%
Crimeans don't agree with you, and only their opinion matters. Mind your own business they would say
Crimea is Russia, get used to it.
@@prairieweasel you will wake up from your dreams
@@dosmundos3830 Odd comment, considering Russia can’t mind their own business and get the fuck out of Ukraine they are just in body bags
Great video of what it is like to live in and leave from Russia; these two men are lucky they had the means to escape; so many are not so lucky.
Hope all the young people leave Russia for now. They are the really patriots and they will build the new Russia, without war and full of love! God will help you, don’t worry, you are doing the right thing!
Most of them support Putler and the war, just won’t die for their beliefs…
@@stevemcgowen
I’m a steadfast Ukraine supporter.
I understand the resentment towards Russians in general.
But.
Why the blanket statement. Do “most” younger Russian Males, really support the Pootin Regime?
Really?
@@deviousdevil75 It's fact most do. Educated Ruzzians who speak English tend to be against the war and regime, but they are a small minority. There are many interviews and even videos of someone with a Ukrainian flag background going in chat groups with young Russians and the first thing the Ruzzians did was insult him and Ukrainians. I watch a lot of Ruzzian streamers and nearly all Ruzzian viewers in comments are in support of the war and their dictator. They only care about how the war has affected them. I have been to Ruzzia a few times and can tell you most people there think Ukraine is Ruzzia's and that Ukrainians are lesser people, as they call them.
@@deviousdevil75 y tú apoyas la extensión de l'OTAN por el mundo y sus saqueos a países débiles?? Y sus masacres a pueblos enteros?? Y sus sanciones porque no se corrompen??
Ya veo que no conoces de geopolítica mundial...
Ni de la pelea por los recursos de minerales, agua, gas petróleo etc etc que tienen un límite y son necesarios para progresar y hacer crecer una economía y bienestar de los pueblos.
Extiende tu visión el mundo son muchos más países en el mundo y está súper poblado que los recursos no alcanzan para tanta población
I am so amazing with your story. Glad you are out of Russia. You saved your self from Putin draft. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
All this suffering caused by a government with no accountability. We got rid of our idiot in the US. Russia needs to do the same so we all can live our lives without his stupid war.
Thank you for sharing. This was so interesting!
What was your impression of the people coming in? Are they people who are genuinely opposed to the war or are they people who are only opposed to being sent to Ukraine and possibly dying?
It's really hard to tell. But for the guys I spoke it was clear they were anti war. But also don't know if they would help the resistance.
@@TheMeconiumMan They're not. They are just going to chill out on the streets of Tbilisi until their money quickly runs out. Then wait and see what problems they are going to make for the Georgians who welcomed them in....
@@Telluwide I am sure that you would not want to go to Ukraine to kill people for no reason other than to please V V Putin. Give these guys a break. Young people don't want this, only babushkas.
@@Telluwide buena entrada de 💲💲💲🤑🤑 para los giorgianos. Y después los correrán. Así es en todo el mundo 🤑💲
Thank you, very informative.
This is a moment of confusion and a good thing to do to escape.🤔🤣😂😂😂 It's now or never.
The iron curtain is already falling.
You sound like a Dutch men
I am

@@TheMeconiumMan waar kom je vandaan?

The Russian people deserve better than putin!!! Gods speed 🙏
At the end of the day Russia is HUGE in terms of population. Even if a million flees, total Russian reserve is 25 million people... 25-1 not a significant difference.
146 million total population and shrinking but 25 million men could be forced to fight.
@@wegder population just increased by 8 million dumbass
Russians! Wake tf up! Organise and get your country back!!
Fleeing and stealing, the Russian way....
You want him to kill Ukrainians? Why?
Dont forget raping and killing
Thanks for this testimony.. Courage!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your time & video on this situation! 👏
60km traffic jam....OMG that is history...thx for the saga...
not too long ago they were in a 40km traffic jam on the way to Kyiv 😁
Stay Safe Young Man....
that is so awful what you all have to go through. You explain the situation very well. Thank you for telling us so well.
Good work. Subscribing
Thank you for informing ❤. I am planning to go in a trip, but I am confused if I can pass from Georgia side to Russia by bicycle or by walking in the low convenient area in mountain. Is there any problem with the borders in the mountains there?
Thank you for your efforts
X military men are been called up .no body else
Stay Safe♥️
Why are you living : Afraid of the meat grinder?
Or don't wanna fight to a foreing country?
It is not the same thing. There are no debates in your country, no oppositions.
What will you do in neightbour countries that your regime could have even invade and annex?
Warm Greeting from Bali
russians vloggers who flee the immobilisation should send financial support to ukraine army. if not better they go back home and fight putin.
I hope Europe will help these brave people. UK needs workers, a lot of these people seem educated and skilled. We should be supporting them.
Brave? you mean how actually?
brave? they are literally fleeing from the chance to be brave.
@@SantomPh if you want to fight for Putin then off you go
I hope thee refugees will not turn out to be for Russia when Russia calls for referendum.
Did you have to bribe the officers,it's commonplace there.
Pray pray to Jesus Christ to lead you to safety, young man! God is real!
If you escaped to Georgia as a russian for the russians you are welcome, but if you speak for putin in Geogia well...
Viva Putin 🤝❤️🙏🙏
Niffo zit aan de views hoor
Bro, wtf is up with that name? 🤢🤮
Take care be safe
Thank u
I love you guys
Good video
Thank you for your work, great story. However, hard to feel bad for those guys. They're not against the war, they're against dying.
Love you Brave Warriors♥️♥️♥️💫💫💫💫♥️♥️♥️✊🏻✊🏻
Great stories. Thanks for the video
Good video !
The Orcs must die
Funny how you call them "refugees". Ukraine hasn't bombed their houses or didn't invade them, they aren't refugees. Georgians became the real refugees after Russia orchestrated Abkhazian and Ossetian separatism and more than 300,000 Georgians had to leave their homes. Ukrainians became the real refugees after Russia invaded them. The citizens of Russia aren't refugees, they are runaways from the conscription in the war some of them still supports. They flee to the country that their own motherland Russia has occupied since 2008.
You should fight
Really, why exactly?
Go back to your home
I'm not Russian
