Hello! Don't get me wrong. I'm not a US hater. I love the US and American cities. But right now American downtowns are not safe especially after dark. I was in Austin on June 12 and left just an hour before a mass shooting on Sixth Street took place that killed one man and injured 14 others. I could have been one of the victims! America is a fantastic country but right now it got itself into a dangerous situation when every weekend you have hundreds of people getting robbed, shot at and even killed. This is not the norm. And that's why Moscow felt so different after staying in the US for 2 months. Moscow and Russia have a lot of problems , too. No place is perfect. and I talk about them on this channel. Thanks !
That's why most Americans where I live in the Midwest leave the big cities the hell alone. I live 6 hours from Chicago but would not go there. Downtown Detroit has seen billions of dollars invested and is actually extremely safe and beautiful now. When we want a night out to get a taste of big city life and get out of the nice suburbs of Oakland County we go to downtown Detroit where there is a police presence everything is nice and clean and reasonably priced for the most part compared to most American large cities. Most American big cities are filled with ultra liberals at the helm and they have allowed the cities to become Shadows of what they used to be. It's sad. That's why you're seeing a large Exodus from many major American cities, The Exodus will only get worse before it gets better.
Hello from Finland. I have only visited some provincial cities in Russia such as Murmansk and Kandalaksha. Very safe and absolutely no problem walking in the streets after bars and restaurants. Never been to Moscow but I never had to be afraid while travelling Russia.
Hey! Isn't it safe in Finland? I live in Vyborg and have often been to Finland, it is very safe there. Only the city streets at night in Finland are empty, there are no people walking. It is sad.
Unfortunately, the distribution of finances in Russia is very uneven, so cities in different parts of the country can look like different planets. If you're not tired of Russia yet, try taking a ferry to St. Petersburg, it's quick and inexpensive (just don't drink too much there, haha, some Finns will get my joke). Hang out there a little, the city is very beautiful, many consider it the most attractive in Russia. Then you can get from there to Moscow by high-speed train "Sapsan" in 4 hours. And from Moscow, by local trains, travel along the "golden ring" of Russia - the ancient medieval cities, where centuries-old kremlin and other buildings have survived. It will also come out extremely inexpensive. Then you will seriously feel the spirit of Russia. Tervehdys Suomelle ja sen kansalle!
I wish more people in the US, UK and Australia saw more videos like this. The impression that most people have of Russia in Australia is very negative thanks to mainstream media and politicians.
I have to agree sadly, I'm a Queenslander and when I announced my 20q4 Odessey through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania & Poland (Finland was the only one people knew of but none could find it on a map), the first question people asked was "where?", and then "why would you want to go there, you should go to Paris"... no offence Paris & I love French people but the East is where my heart lies, I felt so at home in Lithuania, ive never had so many people with zero mutual intelligibility attemp and refuse to give up on communicating with me. Yeah they can be quiet, cold even but the minute they realise you know information about their country that anyone west of Poland probably wouldnt know and they warm right up
@@ratyjoona only Helsinki really but I had made friends by talking to people online before I came so within a couple of hours of arriving I had my first friend arrive and we went out to the second hand record shops. Because everyone loved in the suburbs I was using public transport to get around, i almost felt like a local, it was great, i loved it 😊
I know Russia has its problems but Moscow just has such a positive vibe to it (I lived there for 4 months and I've visited a couple of times since). Really left a part of my heart in Moscow and I hope to go back permanently someday.
As an American who has traveled extensively to most parts of the globe and lived abroad, I'm astounded at how little Americans know about the world outside of its borders, and especially about Russia. My comment is not about political ideology but just about knowledge. However, the less people know, the easier it is for governments to fool them.
I am an American and I have travelled in 104 countries and I am amazed how many Americans have never even been to another state; many don't even own a passport. But then there are the '"other" Americans like me. So like Baskin Robbins, I think we come in 31 different flavours. I now live between Greece and Italy, I have two homes, and I love it.
I have once met an American born late 20 something girl, claimed she doesn’t need to travel to learn the world, because she got everything she need to know from TV:(((!
Very right. Back in the day, I saw Jay Leno do a walk about in California asking young people questions about their country and about the world. They hardly knew which ocean was on each side of America , nor what countries bordered theirs. They were just living the great LA life, totally oblivious. Only one young guy could answer a question about anything outside of the US. He had learned something about Canada in a course at school. The young people lived only the internal life of their own spaces. We Canadians used to say about the States, that their minds nor their imaginations can rise above the 49th parallel. American existence! Wow!
As a person brought up to hate Russia I sure have fallen in love with your country! We have no reason to ever be enemies that has got to stop. Peace and Love from Mobile, Alabama!
You were never an enemy of russia but the US deep state needed/wanted you to believe that you are because you'd be learning too much about how the deep state is screwing Americans.
Not enough Americans travel internationally to realize how far we have fallen here. our cities and culture have been in decay for so long it just seems normal to us.
You have been taught for years that the United States has the best education and culture. In fact, this is not the case. I studied for a year in student exchange at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008 and was amazed at the limitations of American students. They know practically nothing about the history and culture of other countries, they are not interested in classical music, theater and visual arts. Many of them have never been to a theater or a classical music concert. This is very sad.
Absolutely so! When I came to the USA in 90-s and told my view on American culture and other subjects ...most ppl didn't want to listen to me and all they did was - defense and anger.
I love Moscow. I lived there for more than a year and often go there. It is super safe, super clean. People are very nice and polite. It feels like "civilisation". I'm from Paris and Paris has become a shadow of itself unfortunately.
Most people in the US and UK still believe Moscow is like it was during the USSR, I even got asked “if I got followed by the KGB” . I actually prefer Moscow to London.
When I moved to Moscow in early 2015, two of the first Tinder dates I had were with an ex-national TV (Russia One, later RT) newsreader and then a Federal Immigration Service inspector -- both very beautiful.I really had to wonder if it was some kind of set up! Well, anyway, both were fun and I'm still in fairly regular communication with both now, more than three years after leaving Russia.
True, I showed my dad a video of Moscow yesterday and he said he never expected it to look as it did. He thought it was a poor city filled with crime and derelict buildings.
When I first came to NY in late 90ths it was like WOW. Everything seemed perfect and amazing in comparison to the Russian cities. And even like 15 years ago Moscow was producing rather dull impression. Now Moscow looks way better than NY, streets, people, parks, gardens, opulent architecture, public transportation, activities, the whole infrastructure, reasonable prices, immaculately clean, very safe, no litter, no panhandlers, no weirdly looking people loitering etc.
Very true, it took Moscow only ten years to change so much! Also the US was a different country in the 90s, it was the golden age for American culture, I grew up watching American movies and listening to the American music, it was so rich in creativity, nowadays it's a money grabbing scheme nothing more
@@justappearances The 90s were 20 years into the great decay that has not stopped since the middle 70s. The infrastructure decades badly the peak of the middle class ended in 1972 and it has declined every year since that time. In the late 60s the middle class owned 67 of the wealth of the country and after 40 years of stagnant incomes, and cost of living increasing 400% and college increasing 1400% and medical care increasing 1900% the middle class held less than 6% of the wealth.. The wealth was moved to the very wealthy. 80 individuals in the US own more assets than the bottom 300 million combined
@@justappearances I left America for Russia in 2004. When I read things like you have written, it just makes me sad. I hope the country of my birth and my culture can find its soul once again.
@@ddharder it's kinda sad, perhaps history repeats itself on this planet over and over, it was sad to see great civilizations rise and fall, it happened to Romans, Greeks, Mongols etc, even Slavs in a way, maybe one day humanity will finally reach unity and there will no longer be countries or civilizations, but one planet for all to share, but if it happens it has to happen by consensus, not through wars or politics
One thing that stood out is how wide all the streets are - they aren't freeways, but just normal city streets - and yes, did notice how clean. It really changed my perspective. Thanks.
For more acquaintance with Russia, you can recommend several more channels. For example, the channel of the Australian Russell "Traveling with Russell", where he shows not only sights, but also ordinary life: shops, housing, transport, metro and much more. And also the channel "Window to Moscow" with walking tours of real Moscow without comments. Or the channels of the American Jackson Hinkle and his girlfriend Anna Linnikova, who also has her own channel under her name. There is the usual real Russia.
In 2019, I went to Moscow, SPB, Kazan, Vladimir, somewhat like you did in the US. I always feel safe, from violence and thief. Russian cities are clean, people are mainstream, unlike US cities which have large population of underclass detached from mainstream society.
Vladimir is definitely the worst of those. It's nice on the main st and up around the cathedral, but seemed a bit seedy near the railway station -- and that's the only place I ever found honest-to-goodness squat toilets. What Kazan has done around the kremlin and up the side of the river is really great. I enjoyed going to a car race meeting at the Kazan Ring, and they have a good technology business park there too.
@@BruceHoult I agree with your assessment of Vladimir. The area around railway station is a little rundown. Even in the rundown area, I didn’t fear for my safety, and I was in a foreign country. I felt uneasy quite sometimes on NYC or Atlanta subway.
You think Moscow has mainstream people? No, this is where the elites live , the rest of Russia is a dump, but even in the smallest American cities you can find modern technology
I am 70 year,s old and have alway,s been thinking about Russia i rember the fifitie,s when the new,s had people fearing Russia even at a little age i did not believe it because my dad said they are like us and they want a good life for thEir family.they loved their little girl,s like my Dad and Mom loved me.
Please read and or see information on people living in sewers, the homeless of moscow, the disparities between rich and poor in this country. This video has 3 shades of rose colored glasses
Not gonna lie, I had a totally different perception of Moscow before watching this video and was probably due to US propaganda. I lived in Thailand for a few years and all of my friends from the USA thought Thailand was a third world country with huts and people living in the wild life and a bunch of prostitutes. The majority of prostitution is in Bangkok, that's it. It's crazy how Americans are brainwashed into thinking certain countries are not what they're actually are.
I'm a woman, I've been only once to Moscow but it felt like an alternate dimension, clean and the safest I've ever felt. The feeling of total safety is especially striking as other major European/American cities aren't like that. The center of Moscow is lit up perfectly at night, I would go back alone without hesitation. Good job Russia
One of my favorite videos of Moscow! What great coverage of all the fun and beautiful places to visit. While people say people don't look in the eye or smile, when Russians open up they are VERY friendly and warm people. Thank you for making this great video!
Coming from a developing world i feel so envious for how clean the streets are.. how smooth the roads are.. how clean the people look.. how vibrant the night looks.. and how relatively calm it is for being a city.. 😭
One must make the best with what one has. Try not to envy. I'm white, former middle class Canadian. Now lower middle class. Some things are my fault, other things are beyond my control. Here in Canada we are ruled by fools and self serving greed. In many ways it is a very corrupt society. I pray that this age of cruel men will come to an end. My hope is in the Lord Jesus, the Christ. Many laugh at me for such a belief. But I know it is true. Be thankful for what little you do have and make the best of it. May you find comfort in the Lord Jesus Christ.
@@luisfelix7989 Nope. The entire city is like this. Slums don't exist there. "Impoverished" areas are just areas with modest residential buildings, but they are as safe as the richest areas.
In Paris and Barcelona you're warned of pick pockets, muggings and sexual assaults. When I visited Berlin I felt on edge the entire time and was warned to avoid certain areas at night. Here in London a teenage boy was stabbed to death outside my flat a few weeks ago in broad daylight and I've come home to crow bar marks on my front door. I've not visited Russia, but I can say that Beijing and Tokyo were the safest cities I've ever visited and opened my eyes to what it can be like. It's not easy to come to terms with as Western Europeans and Americans who are raised to think our countries are the safest.
@@ЛюдмилаТ-щ3ч причем по Москве, ныне спокойно можно шататься, в любом её районе, а не только в её центре. Эксцессы, случаются весьма редко и это что то из ряда вон выходящее, в отличие от реалий конца восьмидесятых и всех девяностых. В те времена, легко можно было домой лишь в одном исподнем вернутся, после поздних прогулок, а уж ввязаться в какой нибудь конфликт вплоть до мордобоя, было делом обыденным, полно было народу на понтах и с взвинченными нервами.
China just sends anyone to "re-education" camps, basically concentration camps, that's how they solve anything. So is that what you would like as a solution?
Oh and as a traveller to Moskva (i went all by my lonesome self) i can defo confirm that Moskva is safe. Also at night. When you are by yourself and want to visit Moskva/Piterburg: do it. I felt awkward a bunch of times :)) because i didn't understand a word of what people were saying to me, but never unsafe.
As an American, I am impressed, Moscow seems like an amazing City. America...we are in big trouble, our decadence will be, and is, our demise. another thing I noticed is, no fat people, what the heck is going on in the US? This was really an eye opening video, I love America, I'm a Patriot, a Veteran, I'm 67yrs old, somehow, some way...we lost our way here. Also..everyone seems happy there, no depressing narcotic using homeless junkies camped in front of retail establishments, no heavy handed law enforcement, and I purposely kept looking, and didn't see surveillance cameras everywhere like here in the USA. Great video sir...but now I have to rethink absolutely everything!!!
Thank for the kind words about Moscow. A friend of mine lives in Florida, and she find it difficult to stay slim because there’s too much sugar in everything she can buy at a supermarket. Also healthy food is difficult to find, she notices.
@@showstopper2568 Fast Food places on every corner, I don't even think it's real food, it's just seasoned to be palatable and fill your stomach, but zero nutrition. Also, your President is laughing at us, and I have to agree with him. He loves his Country, a Nationalist...our President...not so much. Thank you for the reply show stopper.
There are more surveillance cameras in Moscow and they keep the city safe. It's the opposite, less cameras, more street crime like in America. More cameras means less police on the streets. In NY there are almost no cameras
The 1st thing that struck me when I visited Russia for the first was the beauty of Russian women. I've returned many times. : ) Great restaurants, great Supermarkets and malls, genuinely nice, smart and healthy people. And the feeling that crime is very rare or does not exist. I have always been treated with the respect that I deserve. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about my own country.
" _the feeling that crime is very rare or does not exist_ " Except of course within the kleptocratic and criminal government circles. Crime comes in many different flavours, and many of those flavours are not visible to most members of the public.
@@istvanglock7445 That's just it, it's away from the normal man, being brought up in the poorer parts of the UK I saw car robberies, stabbings, gang shootings, multiple friends have their homes and cars robbed, I personally have been jumped by a gang and ended up in hospital after nearly going partially blind, I have since then spent a lot of time in eastern Europe, I now live in Tbilisi, Georgia, I leave my doors unlocked when I go out and have not had a single problem, I can only talk from personal experience, but when you look at the crime statistics you soon understand why for the common man the world outside of the west is much safer. You're less likely to get murdered in Kigali, Rawanda than you are in London. The movies paint a pretty picture of such fractured and broken societies.
@@istvanglock7445which country has honest politicians? Name one. In the US where i live the government robs you to your face and there is nothing you can do about it.
In Russia people didn't turn snacks into meals. When I was in America I saw that children ate chips for lunch every day and washed them down with gallons of soda. That all was so wrong.
The market works that way. They sell mostly all bad stuff and almost force you to get it. Otherwise, you feel like a misfit constantly. Impossible to get some juice for example. Chips actually go as an addon to sandwiches or burgers.
I’m American - born and raised - and love my country and in my opinion this video is on point in its impressions of the USA. I live in Maryland and strongly attest to the homelessness, gun violence, carjackings and uncleanliness rampant in DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia - basically all the big cities up and down the East Coast and their metro areas. I can’t speak to other areas of the country except Chicago and Los Angeles which are also engulfed in these problems too. It’s absolutely awful. I support solutions and am willing to do my part. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the world and no where have I seen it as crappy as here in my own backyard. On a positive note, I am glad you were here again. There’s nothing like travel. Your entire channel is fantastic, I look forward to every video and I re-watch my favorite ones. 👍
It,is al,the Democrat liberal controlled cities especially the ones with a lot of “ minorities.” Those cities, and it is hundreds of them simply aren’t safe.
@@williamgill_esq.6487 @William Gill_Esq. What is happening in the US right now is that the deep state who sold american industries to China through wall street pressure and created the big wealth divide and the fake dead end service economy and real estate bubble from the fake FED money, saw the rage of the population growing starting from its most wild demographic and quickly found itself a scapegoat (the middle class hard working white people) to deflect reproaches away from its deep state core. The more threatened they felt the more hateful they have accelerate their hate propaganda on Ccasian people. YT trying hard to censor this.
I’m Russian but was raised in America. I want to go back to Moscow. I listen to a bunch of Russian music and it’s so amazing to hear the very same russian music I listen to be played on the streets of Moscow in restaurants haha.
I love Russian music. If Americans only knew how connected we are to their music. Irvin Berlin, George Gershwin, etc, all of Russian Jewish descent still influence what we listen to today.
I live in Moscow and when I visited LA it was a shocking experience. Nothing like my expectations of USA. It also felt REALLY dangerous. I literally had to cross the street every 3 minutes to avoid strange and aggressive people who obviously needed help not encouragement to continue like this. It also is dirty and smells really bad. I was afraid to walk at night, something I'd never felt in Moscow.
@@australialife2153 The high crime rate in such a large city as Los Angeles is rather strange. It's a metropolis and needs to be handled properly, which the US government and police don't do.
Moscow looks a lot different than how most in the West envision it. U.S. cities have sadly become dirty and full of crime in recent decades, though they weren't always like that. Also, I can't help but notice all the pretty women :D
I have to admit that Moscow is much more beautiful than I expected! Also, as an American, I have to admit to being embarrassed by the crime and homelessness allowed in American cities. That’s why I left Seattle.
I meet homeless people in Moscow sometimes. But when I visit London n 2018 I've met a WAY more homeless people there. Right in the center near Trafalgar. It shocked me. I couldn't understand how come there are so many homless people in such a rich country.
@@JoanDoris1 we do, and many people use public transportation, which means walking too. The US doesn't have reliable public transportation, there are a lot of situations when people have to drive in order to walk in the park..
Great city ,very romantic. I lived in Moscow for many years ,no homeless at all very safety for the ladies walking at night walking 🚶♀️ Now living in Hawaii islands. Also in Moscow very extremely clean city 👌 Absolutely great memories For me very important safety and clean
In the mid 90s , due to economic and political collapse after Ussr , my parents left Russia to seek a better life in USA. I fear soon i will be fleeing USA to seek a better life back in Russia 💀

Kidding me? US leaders are most corrupted in the world. Russia's Leader is not currupted and Russia's corruption is nothing comparng to American. But there it's called "lobbying of interests".
I can't imagine any Russian "officials" can beat the corruption of our American "officials". That's the one thing America is "great at" (unchallenged!)
@@eliasstockholm9165 Putin in very corrupt, the income gap is evidence of that. In America people earn let's say $60,000 a month. In Russia people are earning $500 a month. Big difference. Secondly there is democracy and 'free speech' in America. There's not as much in Russia.
Back in 2008 I saw the same cleanliness, so people don"t have to be super rich to dwell like socialized beings, this is not a matter of money but a matter of attitude. Every metropolis shall be like Moscow. Amazing city!
It seems that there have been no trams in this area of the city for a long time. Tram tracks remained mainly outside the Garden Ring. So there is a much greater risk of getting hit by a car or a bicycle. But this is not at all like getting hit by a tram:)

Welcome back, the new visa rules go into effect in late August so lost all nationalities will be visas good for staying in-country up to 6 months instead of the 30-day tourist visa, Americans get a 3-year visa as before that started in 2009.

Thanks for you video about Moscow. I am an American born and raised in NYC, which is a slum compared to what you show of Moscow. NYC was dangerous growing up. I was mugged several times over the years even at knife point right on Park Avenue (East 90th Street). My father called the police, who did nothing to find the criminals. All the police could say to my father was, "be happy your son is still alive". That's the day my father, a German immigrant who escaped from East Germany, decided to get out of the City. NYC is still dangerous as the world could see in 2020 riots. It is still a filthy, smelly place that is crazy expensive! Everything is outrageously expensive...food, housing, transportation, entertainment...EVERYTHING! NYC is run by inept and corrupt political ideologue (Bill DeBlasio). Quite honestly, I do not understand why a Muscovite would want to live in NYC. I avoid NY and all American cities for safety reasons. Moscow and St Petersburg look fantastic to me. The streets are clean with no graffiti. The people are well dressed and care about how they look. There are no homeless. The infrastructure is not rotten and crumbling like in NYC. Thanks for your videos, they make me want to visit Russia and imagine living in Moscow and St Petersburg. I CANNOT imagine living in NYC or Philadelphia, or Boston, or D.C, or, or , or. Please don't become like America.
Unfortunately the Western propaganda was and still is very strong in Russia. Lots of people have this image that everything that is good in Russia is just not good enough and in the west everything just has to be 100 times better. They believe that every American is super rich and there is just no such thing as corruption in the west, all politicians in the western countries do is just thinking on how to make lives of common people better and bla bla bla. This is pathetic, to be honest, that so many people in Russia are not able to appreciate the decency of life in Russia. It has to do with the fact that we have undergone a horrible experience in the 90's when our country merely dodged a bullet of a total disintegration and a civil war, and many people still can't believe that now we are on a rise. This will change after a generation or two, but for now it is what it is. I work in a international sphere so I meet so many Russians returning back from their emigration experience with their eyes opened on how good Russia and Moscow in particular actually is, and I also meet lots of foreigners who come to stay in Moscow because of their job and all of them only have great experiences. Of course there is a whole bunch of things that are yet to be improved and a whole lot of challenges for Russia in this time in history, but we are actually doing great and we are on the way to a great future, this is what's obvious to me.
Dude,,he didn't show the slums of moscow. Surely you are able to discern a mask placed over realities of big cities?? Really?? Everyone drives a nice car, and lives in a "utopian type" downtown society??
@@luisfelix7989 he didn't show the slums of Moscow, and he didn't compare Moscow to American slums. The comparison is about the cities not the slums. Go to LA or NYC, you will find homeless people in the city center, you will be mugged in the city. That's not the case in Moscow.
I first came to Moscow in 2016 as an exchange student, most of the city was stil old and a lot of construction. The major changes were because of the World Cup was coming, they completely renovated the city and street to be cleaner and more modern vary fast. I loved every seconds when I lived in this city.

When my fiance visited me in Chicago 3 years ago one of her comments was "Why are the young children so obese"? I could only reply because we have so many fast food joints on every block including smaller cities and towns.
There is direct corrolation in having low cognitive ability and low impulse control. That explains the high crime and the over weight people in large American cities

I love the idea of car sharing and so affordable over there. Wow, and Moscow is so clean. Refreshing not to see homeless people on the streets or doing drugs. The U.S.A, Canada and some European countries have too many homeless people but the worst I have seen was in Paris, France, whole families (refugees) living on the streets, I was shocked! Well, another great video. Thanks.
Once western people visit Russia they return home and never believe their propaganda machine again. Nothing claimed media or by politicians is actually true but once visiting the targetted countries, the visitor is not so easily fooled again. Same with China.
Well yes, Because Moscow isn’t a good representation of russia on a wide scale, There’s still lots of rampant poverty in Russia. And using Moscow to cover it up won’t work.
@@DivinesLegacy I also went to 10 other cities, also seen the country side of Russia in the month and a half I was there. Didn’t really see this “rampant poverty” you’re talking about dude .
@@TheLefion The good ol “Russia outside Moscow is bad” stereotype. I’ve also been to many different Russian cities and have seen the country side. It’s still very nice. No wonder Putin is so popular in Russia. The west can keep hating.
@@TheLefion I will just give you an example from my family. We live in a small town of 150 thousand people, my grandmother is 70 and my grandfather is 75. My grandmother worked for 25 years in a factory as an annealer of non-ferrous metals, gave it all her health and retired at 45. My grandfather worked 50 years in the same plant, by the way, he is a 6th class electrician. He worked until he was 70 because his pension wasn't enough, and when he got very old and couldn't work properly, he retired. Now the pension for two is 32 thousand rubles, that's ~$436. They live in the village in an old house, grow vegetables in their vegetable garden. As you understand, because of their advanced age and work at the factory, they are now very sick. They both have sick legs, the grandmother also has sick hands, they walk with a limp, the last money from their pension they give to their treatment, do you think this is a normal pension from the country to which they have devoted their lives? By the way, they praise Putin and hate the west thanks to the daily propaganda on TV. Here's a moment in the life of patriots from Russia.
What I have understood from this video, is that Moscow is a great city. It is beautiful and clean. People are safe and enjoying the evening. You do not have to fear for anything. It is wonderful.
I love Moscow. Even when I was there as an 18 year old in 1997 I saw the direction it was going. It was a little different back then but the energy of tbe tbe Moscovites was amazing. Plus the women were otherworldly. I would leave Chicago in a second to go to Moscow.

As someone who grew up in the big city of Philadelphia and lived there for 60 years of my life and now live in the south and in the country because I was fed up with that kind of city life that I saw, to see how beautiful and safe Moscow is is totally surprising from what we always hear. As someone who had a German mother and a Ukrainian father who both immigrated to the US, I was raised differently and still to this day feel different living here because we were raised similar to the way you were describing the people in Moscow. Having a Ukrainian dad who always talks bad about Russians and living in the US with all the propaganda, it gives me much pleasure to see how beautiful this city is and safe and the people also. One thing I noticed, I did not see people with tattoos all over their body which I find in this country has gotten out of hand and to me it’s very ugly and that’s not politically correct to say but I don’t really care because I was raised differently. My son grew up and is a father today and has two huge tattoos on his body which is just beyond my understanding.This video proves that there must be something going on right in the country. Even though I live in the country we are starting to see more and more homeless in our small towns. This is what happens in a country that gives out free money to everyone whereas when my parents immigrated here in the late 1940s they interviewed them and told them if they cannot afford to support themselves to get on the boat and turn around and go back to their countries. Many Russians immigrated to this country after communism left Russia and in Philadelphia we had huge supermarkets that we called Russian supermarkets. I would watch Russians as they brought food stamps given to them by this country to buy their food. We worked in this country and our pensions are low and they give out free money to people who just come here. My parents did not have that luxury so I was raised to work hard if I wanted to get ahead in life. I think the US knew what they were doing by giving out free money and people would become lazy and dependent on it. Very sad but I am learning that the Russian people are wonderful people. If my dad was still alive he’d be really mad at me for thinking that but that’s OK. The Russians that moved to this country probably were different because if I spoke English in those supermarkets they looked at me like I was not belonging there. I came there because the foods they had were the foods I grew up with. Your videos are quite entertaining and show us clearly that Russian people are safe. I loved the people in Germany too when I went to visit my relatives for the summer and I loved it there also because it was so different.People were very community minded and helped one another. I am finding in the country even where I live people are even more to themselves but still much nicer and Friendlier than the northern part of the US.
Please research; homeless in moscow, moscow slums, crime data per capita in moscow. As a tourist I'm sure you will be welcomed in nice hotels or airbnb.

Today Moscow is the cleanest, most comfortable, the most cultured, most partying metropolis in the world! Welcome to the best city in the world! And be sure to come to St. Petersburg - the most beautiful city on the planet Earth!
@@romanz9342 The only city in the world with more museums, theaters, ballet, arts and concert halls per capita is St. Petersburg. Not sure how you define culture.
I'm from NZ and visited LA for a month a few years ago and it was really sad how many homeless people there were all over the city. Blocks and blocks and blocks of them in the downtown and under every bridge you would see them even further out in the inner suburbs. The US certainly has the money to help those people but no willpower it seems. A lot of cities around the world have homelessness, I know that, but the sheer scale over there in the wealthiest country in the world is ridiculous. If the US spent even 1% what they do on their military I'm sure it could be ended within 10 years. Such a shame.
LA ain’t a tourist Mecca . Go visit New York . Leaving aside the social problem of homeless people , veterans, insurance etc the US is absolutely amazing and a dream country to live in for million people out there.
If you traveled to Sydney or Brisbane you could see crowds of homeless people too tho. Or a major problem with ppl from Victoria that are poor and homeless . Every country has homeless and lots of other issues
@@australialife2153 the extent of homeless in the US is too high, considering how much wealth is there. Sydney doesn't compare to San Francisco or L.A.
Как бы кто не говорил что Беларусь это не страна для жизни что это дыра но в Беларуси нет толпами наркоманов мы можем ходить спокойно днём и ночью по улицам,дают льготные кредиты всем нуждающим на квартиру и дома,сидят три года с маленьким ребенком и получаю пособие до 3 лет.большенсво людей живет очень даже и неплохо.
Вообще-то многие москвичи и россияне на каникулы едут в Беларусь. Ни одного отрицательного отзыва не слышала. Всегда восхищение и удивление тому, как у вас чисто и аккуратно, насколько процветает деревня. Удивляло, что вы чуть своими руками страну не погубили.
Вот тут иностранцы удивляются чистоте в Москве и российских городах, а россияне удивляются чистоте в Беларуси. Так что родине моей мамы - большой привет. Вы огромные молодцы, что сохранили свою промышленность и не дали разворовать страну олигархату
Я считал что Москва и Россия - очень чистые. Но когда я приехал в Белоруссию, я понял что такое настоящая чистота. В любой деревне, в любом городке было так чисто, что невозможно было в это поверить. Как-то я остановился в кармане для парковки грузовиков, остановился чтобы поймать сигнал навигатора и бродил по этой зоне с сигаретой в зубах, пытаясь понять куда ехать. Когда я докурил сигарету, понял что некуда выкинуть окурок, - всё было настолько чисто, несмотря на отсутствие урн, как будто Господь только что создал эту стоянку и люди ещё не успели её загадить. Пришлось завернуть окурок в чек с заправки и положить в карман. Потом я выбросил его в урну в Минске. Поздравляю, у вас наверное самая чистая страна на земле, а людей более доброжелательных и светлых я не встречал вообще нигде!
Great in depth video as always. Moscow, Russia is a conservative Republican Americans apotheosis. 1. Clean 2. CrimeLESS 3. CommUNITY From my experience in Russia, I was accepted like family. The Russkie affection I was spoiled with is only compared to my stay in southern Brazil. The cultural ego mindset compared from NYer to a Moscowite is like comparing beer to vodka in the aspect where one is fizzy and trivial & takes a while to deliver a point while the other is sanguine & slams the point with sharp wit. I love Russia and wish to explore it more.
Lol.Russia is more Left wing than failed State US. 1) Russia(campared to US) has Affordable Housing 2) Has afforable Education(US now has nearly 1.8 trillion Student Debt) with extremly high literacy rate compared to US 3) Has Med4all which US lacks 4) Has Paid Leave Which also US lacks. 5) In Russia Govt controls most basic needs of Pubic which is Privatized in US. 6) Russia have love for Soviet & Support communist in Global South which US oppose.
Now this was an excellent video! I learned so much from this especially in comparison to the US where I live. Moscow appears to be a beautiful city and well laid out. Thank you for making such an extensive and interesting video! I know you put a lot of time and effort into these and the quality really shows.

@B Fen She was intolerant of any criticism of nyc, liberal extremism ideology, the precursor to woke and cancel movements, broad swiping totalitarian thinking. Are you a totalitarian ?
Was the worst part of the video. I was so embarrassed for her - a real clown. Starstruck?!? Over bigger clown Gwen Paltrow? Hope most Russian girls aren’t like her.
@@blancavelasquez9859 Your liberal extremist ideology is spreading like a disease all over the USA. It brings me joy to see New Yorkers suffer from their own ideology.
What a beautiful city. I left England in the 80's, I didn't live in London, but visited..interesting but expensive to do anything. Now many parts don't look European anymore. Moscow retains the European look & culture. I could happily live there. Lived in NZ, about one hour driving north of Auckland. NZ is beautiful too & people are generally very friendly.
Come to Russia. Here you will definitely find a place to your liking, because in Russia there are both megacities and quiet cities with spiritual warmth. But, everywhere is equally clean, safe and interesting. Russia today is the best place on Earth.

Because the center of Moscow is an expensive place for wealthy people and tourists. Beggars, invalids and old people have nothing to do there. Such a beautiful picture for propaganda. Disabled people in Russia stay at home because the country has no infrastructure for them and they are extremely poor. Real Russia begins outside the center of Moscow.
@@nemosius What place are you writing from? The 1990s? lol All those places in the central Moscow are free - parks, walking streets, fountain shows, even ice skating rinks during winter. Any resident of the 15 mil. city (which is bigger than population of most European countries) can just buy a 0.60c ride to the downtown using the gorgeous subway system and have all the fun there. And most Russian large cities downtowns have similar things to offer as well.
I rent a daily apartment for rent in Moscow. In particular, on Vernadsky Avenue. in 2018, Brazilians settled in for a couple of days at the FIFA World Cup. The first thing they asked me was if it was a safe area. To be honest, I was puzzled. I didn't know what to say to them. Since I didn't understand their question. I don't understand what it means not a safe area in Moscow. There are no unsafe areas in Moscow.
You could simply say "its all fine, there's no unsafe areas, this is not Brazil" and we would understand. In Brazil you can be robbed or kidnapped just by leaving the airport, even the police are corrupt here.
I've been to Russia 3 different times, including multiple cities in the Siberian region. I loved the different aspects and character of the country. I'm in Washington D.C and already experienced a lot of areas in the U.S. I want to move to Moscow, I'm so convinced. I have duel-citizenship (U.S & Italian). I just need to commit and research how to get it done. If anybody has any info / suggestions on moving I'd appreciate it.
I think it will be hard. Look for Chanels of Australian people (they are members of one family) who decided to move to Russia. Now they try to get documents and they make videos about it
There are a lot of people in Russia who moved here from all over the world. They have their blogs on RUclips and you can try to find them. Their stories are different and you can learn a lot from them. 😊

Your friend is so theatrical, no wonder she likes New York :) Moscow is amazing, almost as amazing as Russian girls :) I'd pick Moskva over New York without blinking ;) Cheers from Croatia!
I just watched this and yesterday another vid on a different channel taken in Moscow . What I noticed is people looked healthy , and friendly . But how clean the city looks . I watched your kroniburg and that was clean . America was like that in the early sixties . It's all declining now and sadly strange . Thank you .in USA .
This was an eye opener , im very impressed , very clean and beautiful . I had thought all major cities had their funk zone. Not the case here .. great video thanks!
Love Russia,I was there two times,once in Moscow and once in St.Petersburg and I hope I can come there again,because I feel me very good there,I am from Czech rep,of course it would be better to have some friends there,I was alone and with some friends from Russia it would be much better.
Russian cities are beautiful, safe and ideal places to live and enjoy life. Again I thank you and your lovely wife for taking the time to show what life is really like in your wonderful country. I would love to spend the rest of my retirement living in your country. God bless you and your family!
@Adam, don't talk nonsense. Visited many cities of Russia, everywhere is clean and beautiful. Visited: Kaluga, Sochi, Yoshkar-Ola, Saransk, Kazan, Yaroslavl, Belgorod, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Tomsk, Yekaterinburg and other cities.
This is the one of the most enlightening vids I've seen showing a real street level immersive sense of Moscow life and living... in the summer, of course. Especially the conversation with Katya was informative and entertaining.
SF too. Turned on a side street and all filthy tents, car fire around the corner; then these lib mayors go home to their expensive all white neighborhoods after destroying our once great cities.🤮💩
I have been living in NYC all my life and I am not ashamed to say this video literally reveals the weakness and patheticness of NYC. It's literally like comparing Heaven to Hell.
Everything he said about New York is so right. I've been there one, would never wish to go back. The city itself is so smell, so trashy, and yeah Homelessness is a big deal in the US.
EXCELLENT! I am 88 yo Mexican-American, born poor in a desert mining town. I became a successful professional, retired comfortably in my own home. Being Mexican-American, I have a huge familia that includes many good people. I admire Russians because we were allies during WW2 and learned they were great patriots, tough, cultured, and that they suffered horrible tragedies and came back strong. As a young man, I learned many things about Russians that impressed me very much.... 👏 in fields like the sciences, mathematics, literature, music, dance, and philosophy. America is a great country too, but is in a steep decline due to the combined unintended consequences of politicians trying social engineer people. America has a huge problem with hedonism and immorality... Americans have destroyed the traditional "familia" that included love and decent , sane, cultured parenting within a supporting network of kin, neighbors, and professionals. The very things that I note Russians seem to have. Americans, to me, are super stressed, hedonistic, materialistic, and emotionally superficial.... many Americans are educated but still "ignorant" about important things right under their noses. For about 60 years, Americans have raised children to be spoiled brats who remain this way until their 50s! Some never really grow up and die before their parents because of drugs, suicide, or stress-related medical conditions including obesity and heart attacks. One big American problem is Blacks.... They have been brain washed and in many ways pampered to become "victims" of White racism. So, in part consequence, they are angry, hedonistic, childish, criminogenic, and do not have a sense of shame in public conduct. Some Blacks try to correct the negatives, but to little avail, because they are overwhelmed by their adult "children" who waste their material and human resources on hedonistic even criminal pursuits. Blacks are much overrepresented in prisons for all kinds of crimes. RUclips videos of Black neighborhoods and zones are available in quantity for anyone to see my negative allegations. Blacks even have their own language and distinct culture to separate themselves from mainstream Americans. @Russians: America is in social and moral decline. Our politicians are reflective of this. The President and Vice President (for example) arranged with a combination 😈 evil agents to steal a Presidential Election! How horrible is that? Russian, I know you too have problems, all nations do, but overall you seem healthier, happier, more civilized , less spoiled, more law abiding, healthier, and educated than we Americans. Finally, I hope you avoid going the ways America has in the last 60 years. PAZ, amigos 💘😻💜💛
Ваши наблюдения очень интересны и правильны. Многие люди не спешат заводить детей, до тех пор, пока "не встанут на ноги". Такое удается далеко не всегда, а когда удается, то появляется один, максиму два ребенка. А что бы нация не выраждалась, нужно чтобы из двух людей, получалось минимум три. Мой дед был столяром, бабушка маляром в Южном речном порте в Москве. За свою трудовую карьеру они получили бесплатно от компании три квартиры в Москве. То были времена коммунистического Советского Союза, со своими лишениями и недостатками, но в ту пору у людей было самое главное - вера в светлое будущее, этого сейчас очень не хватает.
Менталитет - вот что разделяет людей разных рас. Культура и история,наоборот,объединяет. Менталитет формируется под воздействием культуры и истории . Значит,люди двух противоположных менталитетов встречаются в одном ареале, и если их начнёт со временем (в историческом промежутке) объединять одна культура, для одной из сторон новая, то менталитет будет похожим - конфликты исчезнут, люди научатся жить вместе: создавать семьи, обустраивать города, работать для будущего своих детей.
Very good video, thank you! I was in Moscow in January of 1981 so it was nice to see the huge huge changes. While Moscow is seeing its Hey Day the vast majority of American cities are at their lowest. America is quickly becoming a third world country.
The city of Moscow looks so beautiful and clean, too....I have never traveled outside the US...so, I have been sheltered from the world, but, my eyes are opened by videos like yours! Thank you so much. 💕

I am Russian. I have been living in Moscow the most part of my life. I am sure definitely that Moscow is the best city of the world. Safe, beautiful, comfortable, clean, friendly etc. Welcome to Moscow! No doubt, you will enjoy your time.
A different take is that Russia's cities are normal, whereas American cities are not! It's not just Russia where it is safe to walk the streets. You can do the same in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, etc.
Yes there are some bad neighborhoods in the bigger cities in America but the 99.9% of the rest of the country is as safe as anywhere in the world. Some would say it has been done this way on purpose. Ghettoization.
It is funny to think why here in my country, if young women clad up attractively go out for a walk at night, they are in danger of being harassed or raped. Have to say we are living in scandinavian social state that is so much advertised and praised (remember Bernie Sanders and his thoughts about scandinavia) but there still is something very wrong.
@@RandomDudeOne absolutely false. America is unsafe almost everywhere and i am not an outsider, i know from experience. Without sounding obvious, the US demographics directly tells you why. Russia has low diversity and that is NOT a crime. Look at Japanese no crime and again no diversity. What if the diversity becomes more than 3/4 of the population, look at South Africa one of the most dangerous country on earth. What if the whole country is 'diversity' only, travel to haiiti, write your will first. Ever wondered why Brazil was never able to raise above crime and poverty ? demographics.
@@DanielMcGuire I'm sure it is, diversity prefers to move to larger cities, when your city is on the map, expect diversity to start to move in, and problems to start.

Hello! Don't get me wrong. I'm not a US hater. I love the US and American cities. But right now American downtowns are not safe especially after dark. I was in Austin on June 12 and left just an hour before a mass shooting on Sixth Street took place that killed one man and injured 14 others. I could have been one of the victims!
America is a fantastic country but right now it got itself into a dangerous situation when every weekend you have hundreds of people getting robbed, shot at and even killed.
This is not the norm. And that's why Moscow felt so different after staying in the US for 2 months. Moscow and Russia have a lot of problems , too. No place is perfect. and I talk about them on this channel. Thanks !
It's great that you made it in time and stayed safe in Austin! Very strange to hear about the crime. That's not America I know!
Not every downtown is unsafe….
That's why most Americans where I live in the Midwest leave the big cities the hell alone. I live 6 hours from Chicago but would not go there. Downtown Detroit has seen billions of dollars invested and is actually extremely safe and beautiful now. When we want a night out to get a taste of big city life and get out of the nice suburbs of Oakland County we go to downtown Detroit where there is a police presence everything is nice and clean and reasonably priced for the most part compared to most American large cities. Most American big cities are filled with ultra liberals at the helm and they have allowed the cities to become Shadows of what they used to be. It's sad. That's why you're seeing a large Exodus from many major American cities, The Exodus will only get worse before it gets better.
We know why US cities are unsafe and Russian cities aren’t. I bet you do too. 😉
@@k1_w3 And it isn't because of the Second Amendment.
Hello from Finland. I have only visited some provincial cities in Russia such as Murmansk and Kandalaksha. Very safe and absolutely no problem walking in the streets after bars and restaurants. Never been to Moscow but I never had to be afraid while travelling Russia.
Murmansk is getto🤷♂️
Hey! Isn't it safe in Finland? I live in Vyborg and have often been to Finland, it is very safe there.
Only the city streets at night in Finland are empty, there are no people walking. It is sad.
Glad you’ve felt safe here))
Unfortunately, the distribution of finances in Russia is very uneven, so cities in different parts of the country can look like different planets. If you're not tired of Russia yet, try taking a ferry to St. Petersburg, it's quick and inexpensive (just don't drink too much there, haha, some Finns will get my joke). Hang out there a little, the city is very beautiful, many consider it the most attractive in Russia. Then you can get from there to Moscow by high-speed train "Sapsan" in 4 hours. And from Moscow, by local trains, travel along the "golden ring" of Russia - the ancient medieval cities, where centuries-old kremlin and other buildings have survived. It will also come out extremely inexpensive. Then you will seriously feel the spirit of Russia.

I have to agree sadly, I'm a Queenslander and when I announced my 20q4 Odessey through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania & Poland (Finland was the only one people knew of but none could find it on a map), the first question people asked was "where?", and then "why would you want to go there, you should go to Paris"... no offence Paris & I love French people but the East is where my heart lies, I felt so at home in Lithuania, ive never had so many people with zero mutual intelligibility attemp and refuse to give up on communicating with me. Yeah they can be quiet, cold even but the minute they realise you know information about their country that anyone west of Poland probably wouldnt know and they warm right up

I know Russia has its problems but Moscow just has such a positive vibe to it (I lived there for 4 months and I've visited a couple of times since). Really left a part of my heart in Moscow and I hope to go back permanently someday.
As an American who has traveled extensively to most parts of the globe and lived abroad, I'm astounded at how little Americans know about the world outside of its borders, and especially about Russia. My comment is not about political ideology but just about knowledge. However, the less people know, the easier it is for governments to fool them.
I am an American and I have travelled in 104 countries and I am amazed how many Americans have never even been to another state; many don't even own a passport. But then there are the '"other" Americans like me. So like Baskin Robbins, I think we come in 31 different flavours. I now live between Greece and Italy, I have two homes, and I love it.
terrible TRAFFIC NOISE

I have once met an American born late 20 something girl, claimed she doesn’t need to travel to learn the world, because she got everything she need to know from TV:(((!
Very right. Back in the day, I saw Jay Leno do a walk about in California asking young people questions about their country and about the world. They hardly knew which ocean was on each side of America , nor what countries bordered theirs.
They were just living the great LA life, totally oblivious.
Only one young guy could answer a question about anything outside of the US. He had learned something about Canada in a course at school.
The young people lived only the internal life of their own spaces.
We Canadians used to say about the States, that their minds nor their imaginations can rise above the 49th parallel.

Wow!

Not enough Americans travel internationally to realize how far we have fallen here. our cities and culture have been in decay for so long it just seems normal to us.
You have been taught for years that the United States has the best education and culture. In fact, this is not the case. I studied for a year in student exchange at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008 and was amazed at the limitations of American students.

Absolutely so! When I came to the USA in 90-s and told my view on American culture and other subjects ...most ppl didn't want to listen to me and all they did was - defense and anger.
Moscow looks beautiful. A lot of young people on the streets.
I love Moscow. I lived there for more than a year and often go there. It is super safe, super clean. People are very nice and polite. It feels like "civilisation". I'm from Paris and Paris has become a shadow of itself unfortunately.
Hello
So trump was right about Paris
Jeez, we look up to Paris considering it as a role model. You surprised me a lot.
In Paris the crackheads exploded due to illegal immigration
In light of recent events I'll pass.
Most people in the US and UK still believe Moscow is like it was during the USSR, I even got asked “if I got followed by the KGB” . I actually prefer Moscow to London.
When I moved to Moscow in early 2015, two of the first Tinder dates I had were with an ex-national TV (Russia One, later RT) newsreader and then a Federal Immigration Service inspector -- both very beautiful.I really had to wonder if it was some kind of set up! Well, anyway, both were fun and I'm still in fairly regular communication with both now, more than three years after leaving Russia.
True, I showed my dad a video of Moscow yesterday and he said he never expected it to look as it did. He thought it was a poor city filled with crime and derelict buildings.
I think most people understand that the elites have sucked the country dry and took all the money to Moscow, their paradise, from the serfs and plebs
These who hold these wrong beliefs are clearly ignorant, uneducated people who never been to Moscow
Westerners lose their propaganda view of Moscow once they visit.
When I first came to NY in late 90ths it was like WOW. Everything seemed perfect and amazing in comparison to the Russian cities. And even like 15 years ago Moscow was producing rather dull impression.
Now Moscow looks way better than NY, streets, people, parks, gardens, opulent architecture, public transportation, activities, the whole infrastructure, reasonable prices, immaculately clean, very safe, no litter, no panhandlers, no weirdly looking people loitering etc.
Very true, it took Moscow only ten years to change so much! Also the US was a different country in the 90s, it was the golden age for American culture, I grew up watching American movies and listening to the American music, it was so rich in creativity, nowadays it's a money grabbing scheme nothing more
@@justappearances The 90s were 20 years into the great decay that has not stopped since the middle 70s. The infrastructure decades badly the peak of the middle class ended in 1972 and it has declined every year since that time. In the late 60s the middle class owned 67 of the wealth of the country and after 40 years of stagnant incomes, and cost of living increasing 400% and college increasing 1400% and medical care increasing 1900% the middle class held less than 6% of the wealth.. The wealth was moved to the very wealthy. 80 individuals in the US own more assets than the bottom 300 million combined
@Duke Wayne Correct. Pillaged.
@@justappearances I left America for Russia in 2004. When I read things like you have written, it just makes me sad. I hope the country of my birth and my culture can find its soul once again.
@@ddharder it's kinda sad, perhaps history repeats itself on this planet over and over, it was sad to see great civilizations rise and fall, it happened to Romans, Greeks, Mongols etc, even Slavs in a way, maybe one day humanity will finally reach unity and there will no longer be countries or civilizations, but one planet for all to share, but if it happens it has to happen by consensus, not through wars or politics

Moscow isn'r Russia. It's a parasiting on Russia, like metropoly, where all behing Ural mountains is a Moscow colony.
One thing that stood out is how wide all the streets are - they aren't freeways, but just normal city streets - and yes, did notice how clean. It really changed my perspective. Thanks.
For more acquaintance with Russia, you can recommend several more channels. For example, the channel of the Australian Russell "Traveling with Russell", where he shows not only sights, but also ordinary life: shops, housing, transport, metro and much more. And also the channel "Window to Moscow" with walking tours of real Moscow without comments. Or the channels of the American Jackson Hinkle and his girlfriend Anna Linnikova, who also has her own channel under her name. There is the usual real Russia.
In 2019, I went to Moscow, SPB, Kazan, Vladimir, somewhat like you did in the US. I always feel safe, from violence and thief. Russian cities are clean, people are mainstream, unlike US cities which have large population of underclass detached from mainstream society.
Vladimir is definitely the worst of those. It's nice on the main st and up around the cathedral, but seemed a bit seedy near the railway station -- and that's the only place I ever found honest-to-goodness squat toilets. What Kazan has done around the kremlin and up the side of the river is really great. I enjoyed going to a car race meeting at the Kazan Ring, and they have a good technology business park there too.
@@BruceHoult I agree with your assessment of Vladimir. The area around railway station is a little rundown. Even in the rundown area, I didn’t fear for my safety, and I was in a foreign country. I felt uneasy quite sometimes on NYC or Atlanta subway.
You think Moscow has mainstream people? No, this is where the elites live , the rest of Russia is a dump, but even in the smallest American cities you can find modern technology
@@TKUA11 If you watch this channel regularly, you would know the rest of Russia is NOT a dump.
Not even underclass, just criminals and primitives.

Not gonna lie, I had a totally different perception of Moscow before watching this video and was probably due to US propaganda. I lived in Thailand for a few years and all of my friends from the USA thought Thailand was a third world country with huts and people living in the wild life and a bunch of prostitutes. The majority of prostitution is in Bangkok, that's it. It's crazy how Americans are brainwashed into thinking certain countries are not what they're actually are.
Dang, I was sure you were gonna lie.
Americans also believe diversity is a strength... Till they get shot
We aren't brainwashed. We just dont care because we don't have to lmao
But Thailand IS a third world country, 😂
Yes. Propoganda at it's best. Sad how much the US population really is in the dark about how other people all over the world live, think, etc..
I'm a woman, I've been only once to Moscow but it felt like an alternate dimension, clean and the safest I've ever felt. The feeling of total safety is especially striking as other major European/American cities aren't like that. The center of Moscow is lit up perfectly at night, I would go back alone without hesitation. Good job Russia
That's because Moscow is all white. Can't say the same for any major US city however. Smaller cities with white majorities in the US are still safe.

One of my favorite videos of Moscow! What great coverage of all the fun and beautiful places to visit. While people say people don't look in the eye or smile, when Russians open up they are VERY friendly and warm people. Thank you for making this great video!
Coming from a developing world i feel so envious for how clean the streets are.. how smooth the roads are.. how clean the people look.. how vibrant the night looks.. and how relatively calm it is for being a city.. 😭
One must make the best with what one has. Try not to envy. I'm white, former middle class Canadian. Now lower middle class. Some things are my fault, other things are beyond my control. Here in Canada we are ruled by fools and self serving greed. In many ways it is a very corrupt society. I pray that this age of cruel men will come to an end. My hope is in the Lord Jesus, the Christ. Many laugh at me for such a belief. But I know it is true. Be thankful for what little you do have and make the best of it. May you find comfort in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's the clean part of the city. It has slums and impoverished areas just like any other city.

Well said Chris.
I feel the same as you.

@@luisfelix7989 Nope. The entire city is like this. Slums don't exist there. "Impoverished" areas are just areas with modest residential buildings, but they are as safe as the richest areas.
In Paris and Barcelona you're warned of pick pockets, muggings and sexual assaults. When I visited Berlin I felt on edge the entire time and was warned to avoid certain areas at night. Here in London a teenage boy was stabbed to death outside my flat a few weeks ago in broad daylight and I've come home to crow bar marks on my front door.
I've not visited Russia, but I can say that Beijing and Tokyo were the safest cities I've ever visited and opened my eyes to what it can be like.

There are more surveillance cameras in Moscow and they keep the city safe. It's the opposite, less cameras, more street crime like in America. More cameras means less police on the streets. In NY there are almost no cameras
The 1st thing that struck me when I visited Russia for the first was the beauty of Russian women.

Great restaurants, great Supermarkets and malls, genuinely nice, smart and healthy people. And the feeling that crime is very rare or does not exist.

I’m American - born and raised - and love my country and in my opinion this video is on point in its impressions of the USA. I live in Maryland and strongly attest to the homelessness, gun violence, carjackings and uncleanliness rampant in DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia - basically all the big cities up and down the East Coast and their metro areas. I can’t speak to other areas of the country except Chicago and Los Angeles which are also engulfed in these problems too. It’s absolutely awful. I support solutions and am willing to do my part.

I was mugged several times over the years even at knife point right on Park Avenue (East 90th Street). My father called the police, who did nothing to find the criminals. All the police could say to my father was, "be happy your son is still alive". That's the day my father, a German immigrant who escaped from East Germany, decided to get out of the City.

Unfortunately the Western propaganda was and still is very strong in Russia. Lots of people have this image that everything that is good in Russia is just not good enough and in the west everything just has to be 100 times better. They believe that every American is super rich and there is just no such thing as corruption in the west, all politicians in the western countries do is just thinking on how to make lives of common people better and bla bla bla. This is pathetic, to be honest, that so many people in Russia are not able to appreciate the decency of life in Russia.
It has to do with the fact that we have undergone a horrible experience in the 90's when our country merely dodged a bullet of a total disintegration and a civil war, and many people still can't believe that now we are on a rise. This will change after a generation or two, but for now it is what it is. I work in a international sphere so I meet so many Russians returning back from their emigration experience with their eyes opened on how good Russia and Moscow in particular actually is, and I also meet lots of foreigners who come to stay in Moscow because of their job and all of them only have great experiences. Of course there is a whole bunch of things that are yet to be improved and a whole lot of challenges for Russia in this time in history, but we are actually doing great and we are on the way to a great future, this is what's obvious to me.

I’ve always dreamed about visiting Moscow. The streets look so clean and the people look fascinating ❤.
For more acquaintance with Russia, you can recommend several more channels. For example, the channel of the Australian Russell "Traveling with Russell", where he shows not only sights, but also ordinary life: shops, housing, transport, metro and much more. And also the channel "Window to Moscow" with walking tours of real Moscow without comments. Or the channels of the American Jackson Hinkle and his girlfriend Anna Linnikova, who also has her own channel under her name. There is the usual real Russia.
It is gorgeous there in Moscow, absolutely beautiful.
It is such a positive and uplifting atmosphere, I can feel it.
Great video! Having travelled to Moscow a few times you can definitely taste the difference in the better quality of food and the lack of obese people compared to the USA. When my fiance visited me in Chicago 3 years ago one of her comments was "Why are the young children so obese"? I could only reply because we have so many fast food joints on every block including smaller cities and towns.
The food in Moscow is SO good! The restaurants are amazing.
There is direct corrolation in having low cognitive ability and low impulse control.
That explains the high crime and the over weight people in large American cities
@@jamesdallas1493 lol there is so much crime in Russia and a lot of them do much more walking and cant afford as much food there with the low wages as in the US. Their lives arent as hectic as in the US either
@@AWtify prices for food are same as in Poland/Estonia. There is nothing "free". And education is not a propaganda.
Didn't see walls of graffiti in this area, which is a huge positive to making someone feel safe and the city clean

I love the idea of car sharing and so affordable over there. Wow, and Moscow is so clean. Refreshing not to see homeless people on the streets or doing drugs. The U.S.A, Canada and some European countries have too many homeless people but the worst I have seen was in Paris, France, whole families (refugees) living on the streets, I was shocked!

I went to Moscow for the 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP and it was a beautiful city, nice people, nothing how we westerners see Russia.
Once western people visit Russia they return home and never believe their propaganda machine again. Nothing claimed media or by politicians is actually true but once visiting the targetted countries, the visitor is not so easily fooled again. Same with China.
Well yes, Because Moscow isn’t a good representation of russia on a wide scale, There’s still lots of rampant poverty in Russia. And using Moscow to cover it up won’t work.
@@DivinesLegacy I also went to 10 other cities, also seen the country side of Russia in the month and a half I was there. Didn’t really see this “rampant poverty” you’re talking about dude .
@@TheLefion The good ol “Russia outside Moscow is bad” stereotype. I’ve also been to many different Russian cities and have seen the country side. It’s still very nice. No wonder Putin is so popular in Russia. The west can keep hating.
@@TheLefion I will just give you an example from my family. We live in a small town of 150 thousand people, my grandmother is 70 and my grandfather is 75. My grandmother worked for 25 years in a factory as an annealer of non-ferrous metals, gave it all her health and retired at 45. My grandfather worked 50 years in the same plant, by the way, he is a 6th class electrician. He worked until he was 70 because his pension wasn't enough, and when he got very old and couldn't work properly, he retired. Now the pension for two is 32 thousand rubles, that's ~$436. They live in the village in an old house, grow vegetables in their vegetable garden. As you understand, because of their advanced age and work at the factory, they are now very sick. They both have sick legs, the grandmother also has sick hands, they walk with a limp, the last money from their pension they give to their treatment, do you think this is a normal pension from the country to which they have devoted their lives? By the way, they praise Putin and hate the west thanks to the daily propaganda on TV. Here's a moment in the life of patriots from Russia.
What I have understood from this video, is that Moscow is a great city. It is beautiful and clean. People are safe and enjoying the evening. You do not have to fear for anything. It is wonderful.
I love Moscow. Even when I was there as an 18 year old in 1997 I saw the direction it was going. It was a little different back then but the energy of tbe tbe Moscovites was amazing. Plus the women were otherworldly. I would leave Chicago in a second to go to Moscow.

As someone who grew up in the big city of Philadelphia and lived there for 60 years of my life and now live in the south and in the country because I was fed up with that kind of city life that I saw, to see how beautiful and safe Moscow is is totally surprising from what we always hear. As someone who had a German mother and a Ukrainian father who both immigrated to the US, I was raised differently and still to this day feel different living here because we were raised similar to the way you were describing the people in Moscow. Having a Ukrainian dad who always talks bad about Russians and living in the US with all the propaganda, it gives me much pleasure to see how beautiful this city is and safe and the people also. One thing I noticed, I did not see people with tattoos all over their body which I find in this country has gotten out of hand and to me it’s very ugly and that’s not politically correct to say but I don’t really care because I was raised differently. My son grew up and is a father today and has two huge tattoos on his body which is just beyond my understanding.This video proves that there must be something going on right in the country. Even though I live in the country we are starting to see more and more homeless in our small towns. This is what happens in a country that gives out free money to everyone whereas when my parents immigrated here in the late 1940s they interviewed them and told them if they cannot afford to support themselves to get on the boat and turn around and go back to their countries. Many Russians immigrated to this country after communism left Russia and in Philadelphia we had huge supermarkets that we called Russian supermarkets. I would watch Russians as they brought food stamps given to them by this country to buy their food. We worked in this country and our pensions are low and they give out free money to people who just come here. My parents did not have that luxury so I was raised to work hard if I wanted to get ahead in life. I think the US knew what they were doing by giving out free money and people would become lazy and dependent on it. Very sad but I am learning that the Russian people are wonderful people. If my dad was still alive he’d be really mad at me for thinking that but that’s OK. The Russians that moved to this country probably were different because if I spoke English in those supermarkets they looked at me like I was not belonging there. I came there because the foods they had were the foods I grew up with. Your videos are quite entertaining and show us clearly that Russian people are safe. I loved the people in Germany too when I went to visit my relatives for the summer and I loved it there also because it was so different.People were very community minded and helped one another. I am finding in the country even where I live people are even more to themselves but still much nicer and Friendlier than the northern part of the US.

I'm from NZ and visited LA for a month a few years ago and it was really sad how many homeless people there were all over the city. Blocks and blocks and blocks of them in the downtown and under every bridge you would see them even further out in the inner suburbs. The US certainly has the money to help those people but no willpower it seems. A lot of cities around the world have homelessness, I know that, but the sheer scale over there in the wealthiest country in the world is ridiculous. If the US spent even 1% what they do on their military I'm sure it could be ended within 10 years. Such a shame.
Well said!
No. I'm afraid the problem is democrats/communists who promote that bullshit.
LA ain’t a tourist Mecca . Go visit New York . Leaving aside the social problem of homeless people , veterans, insurance etc the US is absolutely amazing and a dream country to live in for million people out there.
If you traveled to Sydney or Brisbane you could see crowds of homeless people too tho. Or a major problem with ppl from Victoria that are poor and homeless . Every country has homeless and lots of other issues

Именно по этой причине мы были так удивлены, когда у вас начались беспорядки.
Вообще-то многие москвичи и россияне на каникулы едут в Беларусь. Ни одного отрицательного отзыва не слышала. Всегда восхищение и удивление тому, как у вас чисто и аккуратно, насколько процветает деревня. Удивляло, что вы чуть своими руками страну не погубили.
Вот тут иностранцы удивляются чистоте в Москве и российских городах, а россияне удивляются чистоте в Беларуси. Так что родине моей мамы - большой привет. Вы огромные молодцы, что сохранили свою промышленность и не дали разворовать страну олигархату
Я считал что Москва и Россия - очень чистые. Но когда я приехал в Белоруссию, я понял что такое настоящая чистота. В любой деревне, в любом городке было так чисто, что невозможно было в это поверить. Как-то я остановился в кармане для парковки грузовиков, остановился чтобы поймать сигнал навигатора и бродил по этой зоне с сигаретой в зубах, пытаясь понять куда ехать. Когда я докурил сигарету, понял что некуда выкинуть окурок, - всё было настолько чисто, несмотря на отсутствие урн, как будто Господь только что создал эту стоянку и люди ещё не успели её загадить. Пришлось завернуть окурок в чек с заправки и положить в карман. Потом я выбросил его в урну в Минске. Поздравляю, у вас наверное самая чистая страна на земле, а людей более доброжелательных и светлых я не встречал вообще нигде!

@@nemosius 100%

All those places in the central Moscow are free - parks, walking streets, fountain shows, even ice skating rinks during winter. Any resident of the 15 mil. city (which is bigger than population of most European countries) can just buy a 0.60c ride to the downtown using the gorgeous subway system and have all the fun there. And most Russian large cities downtowns have similar things to offer as well.
I rent a daily apartment for rent in Moscow. In particular, on Vernadsky Avenue. in 2018, Brazilians settled in for a couple of days at the FIFA World Cup. The first thing they asked me was if it was a safe area. To be honest, I was puzzled. I didn't know what to say to them. Since I didn't understand their question. I don't understand what it means not a safe area in Moscow. There are no unsafe areas in Moscow.
Why is the murder rate in Russia so higher than in western Europe?
You could simply say "its all fine, there's no unsafe areas, this is not Brazil" and we would understand. In Brazil you can be robbed or kidnapped just by leaving the airport, even the police are corrupt here.
I've been to Russia 3 different times, including multiple cities in the Siberian region. I loved the different aspects and character of the country.

EXCELLENT! I am 88 yo Mexican-American, born poor in a desert mining town. I became a successful professional, retired comfortably in my own home. Being Mexican-American, I have a huge familia that includes many good people.
I admire Russians because we were allies during WW2 and learned they were great patriots, tough, cultured, and that they suffered horrible tragedies and came back strong. As a young man, I learned many things about Russians that impressed me very much.... 👏 in fields like the sciences, mathematics, literature, music, dance, and philosophy.
America is a great country too, but is in a steep decline due to the combined unintended consequences of politicians trying social engineer people. America has a huge problem with hedonism and immorality... Americans have destroyed the traditional "familia" that included love and decent , sane, cultured parenting within a supporting network of kin, neighbors, and professionals. The very things that I note Russians seem to have.
Americans, to me, are super stressed, hedonistic, materialistic, and emotionally superficial.... many Americans are educated but still "ignorant" about important things right under their noses. For about 60 years, Americans have raised children to be spoiled brats who remain this way until their 50s! Some never really grow up and die before their parents because of drugs, suicide, or stress-related medical conditions including obesity and heart attacks.
One big American problem is Blacks.... They have been brain washed and in many ways pampered to become "victims" of White racism. So, in part consequence, they are angry, hedonistic, childish, criminogenic, and do not have a sense of shame in public conduct. Some Blacks try to correct the negatives, but to little avail, because they are overwhelmed by their adult "children" who waste their material and human resources on hedonistic even criminal pursuits. Blacks are much overrepresented in prisons for all kinds of crimes. RUclips videos of Black neighborhoods and zones are available in quantity for anyone to see my negative allegations. Blacks even have their own language and distinct culture to separate themselves from mainstream Americans.
@Russians: America is in social and moral decline. Our politicians are reflective of this. The President and Vice President (for example) arranged with a combination 😈 evil agents to steal a Presidential Election! How horrible is that?
Russian, I know you too have problems, all nations do, but overall you seem healthier, happier, more civilized , less spoiled, more law abiding, healthier, and educated than we Americans. Finally, I hope you avoid going the ways America has in the last 60 years.
PAZ, amigos 💘😻💜💛

Perfect observation...
Bingo!!!
Ваши наблюдения очень интересны и правильны. Многие люди не спешат заводить детей, до тех пор, пока "не встанут на ноги". Такое удается далеко не всегда, а когда удается, то появляется один, максиму два ребенка. А что бы нация не выраждалась, нужно чтобы из двух людей, получалось минимум три. Мой дед был столяром, бабушка маляром в Южном речном порте в Москве. За свою трудовую карьеру они получили бесплатно от компании три квартиры в Москве. То были времена коммунистического Советского Союза, со своими лишениями и недостатками, но в ту пору у людей было самое главное - вера в светлое будущее, этого сейчас очень не хватает.
Менталитет - вот что разделяет людей разных рас. Культура и история,наоборот,объединяет. Менталитет формируется под воздействием культуры и истории . Значит,люди двух противоположных менталитетов встречаются в одном ареале, и если их начнёт со временем (в историческом промежутке) объединять одна культура, для одной из сторон новая, то менталитет будет похожим - конфликты исчезнут, люди научатся жить вместе: создавать семьи, обустраивать города, работать для будущего своих детей.
Very good video, thank you! I was in Moscow in January of 1981 so it was nice to see the huge huge changes. While Moscow is seeing its Hey Day the vast majority of American cities are at their lowest. America is quickly becoming a third world country.

Today Russia is the best place on the planet. This has been repeatedly confirmed by international ratings in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In addition, there are a huge number of other places in Russia: Sochi, Kazan, Grozny, Vladivostok, Yaroslavl, Altai, Baikal, etc., etc.
Welcome to Russia - the cleanest and safest country in the world with 1000 years of history and the richest culture.
For more acquaintance with Russia, you can recommend several more channels. For example, the channel of the Australian Russell "Traveling with Russell", where he shows not only sights, but also ordinary life: shops, housing, transport, metro and much more. And also the channel "Window to Moscow" with walking tours of real Moscow without comments. Or the channels of the American Jackson Hinkle and his girlfriend Anna Linnikova, who also has her own channel under her name. There is the usual real Russia.
I am Russian. I have been living in Moscow the most part of my life. I am sure definitely that Moscow is the best city of the world. Safe, beautiful, comfortable, clean, friendly etc. Welcome to Moscow! No doubt, you will enjoy your time.
no, it's a shit city
@@pavelmolchanov7156 тебе лишь бы обосрать свою Родину, навальновский бот.
@@olegmikheev8655 ты путибот. В России никогда не было хорошо. Читай литературу. Но в 90-е была хотя бы свобода
@@pavelmolchanov7156 омг, с тобой всё ясно. Даже продолжать этот разговор не буду.
@@olegmikheev8655 всего доброго !
Russia is such a beautiful place, with a cultured and civilised people. A true beacon of culture and civilisation to the world.
Too bad about the lack of political freedom.
@@adscri you're brainwashed by your media. Russians have too much freedom of speech and political freedom, of course
Sure if you make more then 500,000 a year and live in one of the major cities. If you live anywhere else or make less then that your shit out of luck.
@@doomslayer1984 same applies in Ireland. Everything goes to Dublin and the rest of the country is ignored, forgotten about or looked down on.
@@alinabogdanova9554 that why Putin is still in power?
A different take is that Russia's cities are normal, whereas American cities are not! It's not just Russia where it is safe to walk the streets. You can do the same in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, etc.
Yes there are some bad neighborhoods in the bigger cities in America but the 99.9% of the rest of the country is as safe as anywhere in the world. Some would say it has been done this way on purpose. Ghettoization.
It is funny to think why here in my country, if young women clad up attractively go out for a walk at night, they are in danger of being harassed or raped. Have to say we are living in scandinavian social state that is so much advertised and praised (remember Bernie Sanders and his thoughts about scandinavia) but there still is something very wrong.
@@RandomDudeOne absolutely false. America is unsafe almost everywhere and i am not an outsider, i know from experience. Without sounding obvious, the US demographics directly tells you why. Russia has low diversity and that is NOT a crime. Look at Japanese no crime and again no diversity. What if the diversity becomes more than 3/4 of the population, look at South Africa one of the most dangerous country on earth. What if the whole country is 'diversity' only, travel to haiiti, write your will first. Ever wondered why Brazil was never able to raise above crime and poverty ? demographics.
@@ericastier1646 My town and village are quiet and peaceful as could be
@@DanielMcGuire I'm sure it is, diversity prefers to move to larger cities, when your city is on the map, expect diversity to start to move in, and problems to start.
I love channels like yours that cut through the US propaganda about Russia. Thank you☺️
That's good when people learn something about our country from such videos, not only from the news.
