    I've been following your videos for about a year, and I've consistently enjoyed the way you bring us into your experiences, regardless of the weather. You, Alex, and your dog personify the everyday life of an ordinary Russian, reminding viewers that your family shares the same needs and desires as anyone else around the globe. Thxu

      You can always come to Russia. Sure, you get the autocratic, fascist police state without rule of law, no political freedom and freedom of speech for free, where food prices and inflation are high, but at least the booze is cheap
      Correction, when the average income in 600$, 20$ isn't cheap either

    Any time I think I am missing episodes of videos for whatever reason, I just click on the title of the channel at the top of any video (in this case it's Different Russia Channel) and it will take you to a screen that has different aspects of the channel. One of them is "videos." Click on that. Videos will appear from newest to oldest.

    I'm from Tennessee, USA and I'll say that the size of the Jack Daniels bottle is smaller. We do 75CL or 750 ml here. Price at Total Wine is $22 for the fire. Black is $20. This of course depends on the location plus local sales tax. Excellent video! Guess you have low taxes on imports.

    Do you have second hand clothing stores, antique stores? I like to go to those type stores because the markup on new products is ridiculous. One persons trash is another persons treasure 🤣😂. The stores I go to have clean lightly used clothing , most are imported from the US and dispersed around the province at the store chain.
    I like your new hat, we have to find some fun these days and all the old rules on cloth in are gone away, we wear what we like now. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

    Every city, everywhere should plant apple trees or other fruit trees on city property. But in the U.S., they would say, "And who are you going to pay to clean up all the rotten apples? There will be rats and other vermin if you let the apples lie all over the ground and rot." Which is kind of true. I have a star fruit tree, and the squirrels, birds and rats dine on the fruit, throwing half-eaten fruit all over my car. The fruit, if not picked up in a timely manner, starts to smell like, well, rotten fruit. I also get fruit flies under the tree, and ants. So I do understand, but I still think fruit trees should be planted. Some people could just about live off of the free fruit if they had no money.

    alcohol prices in the US are largely taxes. when i was on guam island, the prices ranged about 10 to 25% of what is charged in the contiguous US (1976). a 6-pack of pepsi was $1.25, a pack of cigarettes was 0.30, and a 750ml of Maker's Mark whiskey was $1.35. so, if i had $3.00, i could party cheap! wonderful pleasant video! спасибо!
