  • We will go from the very east to the very west of Russia and then to its capital, to see how people live in different parts of Russia. Let's make a research : what are the average salaries, how much people spend per month on food, renting an apartment, and other costs in Kamchatka, Kaliningrad and Moscow!

    As an American who lives in a rural area, I find your videos fascinating. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and we were taught that Russians were our mortal enemies who would rain down nuclear bombs at will. Now as a 50 something grandma, I am finding that your people are very much like our people in many ways. We all want to live a comfortable life. :). Your country is amazingly beautiful, I would love to visit one day when there is peace. Thank you for sharing

We can't compare & have no idea, Not a clue. Also all this talk of "Sanctions" ? What the hell are those? If it's something of Russia attacking people not attacking them? Then stop attacking or stealing or raping or whatever it is your country leaders are doing to harm innocent people with their families sitting in their homes doing TV before bedtime & work with school for kids tomorrow, you shouldn't just arbitarily blow them up in their homes. That's not never what a voted in gov't. would do to it's people that put them in power in the first place. BEHAVE & leave them alone thru the Holy Days Holidays get it. If not Holy that's OK but with freedom, leave others alone doing what they think is Holy.

    I was in Russia from 5th September to 12th September this year. I went there to represent my country, Bangladesh in an international fishing tournament organized by ROSATOM. During my short visit to Russia, I got acquainted with the vast richness of Russian culture and hospitality. I was mesmerized to see the breathtaking architecture of Saint Petersburg. I fall deeply in love with the Gulf of Finland and Sosnovy Bor. The calmness of this little town hypnotized me, In Moscow, I was really fascinated by the greatness of Russian achievements. I know that it's not possible to experience Russia on a tightly scheduled tour and what I have experienced was a tiny fragment of what Russia truly is. Anyways, I'll be there again and be completely submerged in the deep treasures of Mother Russia.

      Yeah, bro, it's very intriguing, especially considering that in countries with relatively high salaries correspondingly higher monthly spendings. Governments and businesses orginized things in such a way, that people in common earn only as mush as to pay for food, for rent, or for the mortgage in a best case, and continue to work

    • @khaiphamba5991
      @khaiphamba5991 Год назад +6

      @@Взглядглазамимусульманина Yeah well actually we cannot entirely blame the governments. If a government it's rich, there are only two things that it can improve. One, the public infrastructure and services. And two, the salary of those who work in those areas, the public employees. Usually, these 2 things improve insignificantly simply because there is no magical jump in terms of economic growth of a country annually. So, for common people who work for the government, you can't expect a dream salary.
      As for the rest, that is the private area, as in "businesses" per your comments, well sadly, we can't blame them either. This is the only sector where you can improve your earning, but you have to be very hardworking or talented, or both. And as a business, of course it will try to squeeze you to the last drop to fill it pocket because... business.
      Russia is a developed country, but its GDP is not too impressive (as expected). Beside, the country is too large for its population. There are not many high population areas for the economy to take advantage of. Many even live in rural or remote parts of the country that are actually poor.
      Anyway, all I want to say it, I know that there are different parts of Russia with different living standards, I just did't expect to see many parts that are so familiar to the place where I live.

    HI Eli, from Las Vegas!!
    I found your channel about 2 weeks ago because I was looking for up-close views of modern Moscow, like a city walk/tour style. My ancestors on my mother's side of the family are from Russia-I do not know which part. I think my grandmother's generation was the first to speak English. My mom told me that her grandparents only ever spoke Russian. Myself, I grew up near DC during the Cold War years and I remember the USSR's dissolution in 1991. I was in high school. But, I remember being even young and very curious about why we were taught that all Russians were "bad" in our media. You can imagine it was quite vexing to me since I knew WE weren't bad and that was our heritage as well. I always had the sense that Russians were "real" people, with all the same worries, love for their families, celebrating holidays, etc, just like American people. So, this is all to say that I have always been fascinated about your country and your culture. Since finding your channel, I have watched almost all of your videos except for 2 so far. Thank you SO MUCH for putting in all the work to do these. You do an excellent job and they're so interesting and really give an insight to the people and traditions of your country. One day I hope to get to visit, I don't know if that will happen, but I hope so. In the meantime, I really just can't get enough of your channel!!

      Maybe but I'd consider Moscow to have one of the strongest middle classes of any city I've see after living in Europe since 2009 and traveling the world extensively. Most average Russians have life in decent apartments, and have some money for new clothes, going out to dinners and entertainment. Most middle-class Russians manage to take at least 1 or 2 trips abroad every year. Even the very best restaurants in the city are accessible to people leaving on an average salary if they manage their money well but that's certainly not the case in lace like NYC and LA or London.

      Totally true, I live in Vračar Belgrade but from Liverpool, married Serb girl, and they're so like us. But having worked in Rostov, Serbs and Russians (average person) have zero idea about hiw the West works. We're not all friends, unfortunately. My hometown refuses an English identity, has closer historical ties with Ireland, Scotland has a Nationalist government, so does Wales, Northern Irelands assembly was won by pro united Irish. There's a whole county in South West UK called Cornwall with its own flag n lingo. The Western side of UK is Celtic not Anglo......I'd be here all day with examples. Peace n love from Beograd

We own a house valued around 350€k but if you move 15 km away from Helsinki the same one would be 500-600k€ and if you move directly to Helsinki center, the same one would be over 1 million €.

    I used to live in Anchorage, Alaska, which is across the Bering Sea from Kamchatka. The video from Kamchatka looks a lot like Alaska. Housing and Utilities are very expensive, but Alaskans make up for it by catching their dinner instead of buying it. Most people eat a lot of fish and game, berries (Fresh or Preserved). There's not much vegetable, but cabbage and potatoes grow pretty well there. The big goal in the fall is to get a moose, because that will feed a couple of families for most of the winter.

      Here's one extra thought. It is not for me to tell, how other people should live their life or what they like or dislike, but to help younger Russian audience to better understand (understanding is NOT the same as approval) the Western reaction to one very special operation, I say that in the West people do get judged according to what they tolerate. For example, if someone is NOT a pedophile itself/himself/herself, but the person tolerates pedophilia, the molesting of children, then in the West that person will get judged by others despite the fact that the person being judged does NOT molest children itself. With that context in mind, please draw Your own conclusion, how the attitude of some Russians looks from Western perspective and what that kind of judgement means in the longer term, like in years 2022 till 2080. I am NOT an Ukrainian. I am an Estonian, living in Estonia, which is part of the West. Thank You for reading my comment.

I would say that both salaries and costs here are higher, but, given the relative numbers you have provided, I do not think that average people in USA or even most of Europe are any less exploited than the people you interviewed. I'm not even talking about poorer places like most of asia or africa...

    Great video, Eli! You have travelled the world, so you know that any capital city, or major city is going to be expensive, no matter where in the world you are. It actually seems that the necessities are quite similar to the west. Of course, it depends on one's perception of what is "necessary". I love the way you have created your own path. For me, you are a perfect example that entrepreneurship is alive and well in Russia. Keep up the great work! 🙂

    It is fascinating to see how much difference there is and how different the expectations of the people are. After seeing these 3 places, I would go for Kamchatka, when choosing the place to live. But yeah, nobody really knows what it's like until you really live there.

    • @beliberden
      @beliberden Год назад

      Why doesn't anyone know? I am Russian, I lived in Kamchatka and in the Moscow region, so I can compare. You probably noticed that in Kamchatka people unanimously estimate a normal income at 200K USD. If you have this income and you work remotely - yes, you can try to move anywhere.
      If there is a problem with money, I will say that it is better not to go to Kamchatka. Only as a tourist and only for a short time. Because otherwise you can find out many details that are better not to know. For example, in the capital of Kamchatka - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - the southern part of the city is occupied by a "bad area". And if you find yourself there, you can find out, for example, that even taxi drivers from a good area do not want to go there. Guess why?

    I would say life is very hard for the average Russian given rising inflation and stagnant wages. This is not only characteristic of Russia but of many countries in Europe and North America.
