      That said, you're underselling your work and the impact it was having.... but quitting is where you make the call. When you're being quoted on US National news channels it's not because of hitting on women; it's because of the political impact the street interviews were exposing. Real "journalism".

      No, this was not about ordinary interviews, it was about the people and their behaviour, how they replied which means their faces, their reactions without knowing the language. We could see what attitude they had for or against your and the question
      it was a mirror of the society and you also found a balance to ask a second time politely or with a smile that sometimes you got answers of even those who did not wanna say what the had said in the first moment.
      Or you had chosen a more direct way to ask again , a more pushing one.
      But I can understand if you feel bored somehow cause you get for sure 90 times a uniform answer like from a child in school 2+2 = Lenin or whatever they would be trained to reply, just to get those 2 answers you can present to us like those voters who found the courage to say that there is no choice or democracy and that they voted against Putin.
      Maybe you start it from the other side like ask me anything, but for your interviews: What do you want me to ask russian citizens ?
      And from all those question you simply choose where you think it would be fun again to go out and ask people.
      So not like an obligation that you have to ask for these questions.
      If you might not know how to deal with that, then choose the best 10 questions you think would be worth to be asked and modiy it in such a way that they make sense to be asked in russia to foreigners to get a good reply. And if you had found 10 most promissing or even challenging answers then ask the communiy for a their opinion or put 4 questions in a poll, then the next 4 poll but for each poll a simililar distribution that not your best 4 questions would end in 1 poll and beat each other
      I guess people will love the kind of interaction and you have no obligation for anything, but you might find questions you never had thought about. If you think about germany then you might think maybe 90% christians, but that is not true cause eastern germany had no religion at all during communism and then thousands left the church and became agnostic when the abuse scandals became public over and over again.
      That's why I wonder how many people believe in the russian orthodox god / way. I have no clue, could check wikipedia, which would then most likely divicde the big russian country and what so ever ethnicities and religion, but you could form whatever question out of it what makes sense to get a replay or a broad variety. I do not even know if people would talk about it or if russians simply do not talk about religion due to Marx "religion is the opium for the people" if I remember right, but who knows if that has become a part of russian communism and if that had stayed after the collapse of the soviet union.
      Good luck and all the best for your "journey as an (street) interviewer" which by the way is a job here to make a living - even though with a structured questionaire for the marketing or image campaigns.

      Historic is really the word! Don't stop 1420 Daniil!
      First - You are recording history, and at an important time! All of those insights you are getting will be studied for centuries to come.
      Secondly - Even though it may seem trivial to you, for us (would say most of the rest of the world), after WW2 Russia/Soviets got behind the "wall" and did not make part of our lives in Europe that much, we knew you existed, expected you to get along in the "prosperous/free" way that we where going, and we knew that you had a lot of resources, and that in general you were a powerful country, but not that much about your culture, way of thinking, your intentions, what moves you, etc. I know tons much more about the Checz, Poles, and all the baltic than about Russia, so your channel is gold!
      May it seem boring to you, it's an important insight into your culture...and already recorded in the hall of history ;)

      What a pathetic explanation. I did find your street interviews interesting, and was hoping to see more, but clearly you have been influenced to stop, and for some reason you are indirectly apologizing? If you have a secret passage out of Russia, I would take it now. Clearly you will be "mobilized" and sent to your death in Ukraine if you remain. You offered some little hope that young Russians were willing to speak freely about your terrorist government, unfortunately the risk must be greater than the reward.

      We get so furious with the inhuman actions of the russian military, that we often forget that russia has many people who do not support this garbage at all. They were the ones chanting “Нет войне” (“no to war”) when it started. Many of them are still in russia, and still do not support putin or his ridiculous war.
      It has been GREAT to see this through Daniil’s eyes. I am grateful we got over two years of this, it is now part of the historical record. The fact that SO MANY OTHER CHANNELS use clips of his videos illustrates just how crucial they’ve been to getting the word out about how so many uncounted russians feel, genuinely. It took bravery on the part of those being interviewed, but especially of Daniil Orain.
      Regardless of his true reason(s) for quitting, I wish him well. He is a talented young man with a lot to offer. His talents could best be put to use in a creative role, perhaps in TV or film.

Russia needs creative minds like his… not necessarily to benefit putin, but for other things. There will always be a need for creative thinkers, and I imagine many of the ones they had before the war are now pushing up sunflowers in Ukraine. So, he has plenty of potential to do work that is beneficial for the people.

      I also started watching because I was thinking how the hell are Russians okay with what Putin is doing..?! And gradually I saw either the disengagement, the sense of hopless powerlessness, the fear of stepping out of line or the total ignorance and fragile puffed up pride of the brainwashed who just don't know anything beyond the nightly TV propaganda. I began to understand they arent like us... because they live in a very different society, with very different experiences and expectations. I began to see most people, even those who expressed the vilest ideas, as victims of a kind of repression that most in the West can't imagine, not just a physical freedom but a mental freedom. I detest Putin all the more for it... he's robbed these people not just of the wealth of their natural resources but of a proper sense of self and freedom to develop their full potential with a peaceful and prosperous future.

The most people who against the war just don't participate in such kind of polls. So it's basically pointless and gives false perception about mood of common russian people.

As a matter of fact, currently it is not a country where one can openly protest without repercussions. The judiciary is not indipendent from the political establishment. And competition at political level is non existent. Of course, if you do not protest, keep your mouth shut and get on living your life, it is not a very different place than most. Same can probably be said for North Korea, or China. However, things might be changing. For many years Putin was happy with a 60% of the population getting on with stuff and being left alone, provided they were not politically active they had the guarantee that their body and security would be respected. Now there is a chance that he might need to move towards a more totalitarian approach.

This video by Daniil is clearly what that was, although less apology and more “this is the real reason I quit doing this”. Let’s just let him off the hook, he’s done so much. Perhaps to a super-creative mind like his, this was the best way to get off the hook with the government. He says he’s done, then I believe him - he’s done. That’s it. Time to move on.

      Russia is more than free (give examples of “not freedom”) The war of the West against Russia did not weaken it even economically, but on the contrary united people among themselves due to external aggression, and the country is multinational and the enemies are trying to create discord between different people on the basis of religion, appearance and language, but the strength of the Russian Federation lies precisely in the fact that the peoples inhabiting it were not suppressed and did not “Russify”, preserving their culture and language and freedom. Regarding Ukraine, it was the United States that staged an armed coup there, overthrowing the elected president, killed the military and removed all the judges, and then went with weapons against those who did not accept the coup, starting to kill Russians in their own cities in the east of Ukraine, take the same Lugansk, it was founded by Catherine 2 and built factories there for the war with Napoleon, a typically Russian city with a Russian population, which ended up in Ukraine during the collapse of the USSR (although people voted for preserving the USSR, in the same Crimea there was a referendum on staying with the Russian Federation during the collapse of the USSR, all they didn’t give a damn about it) so by killing Russians, banning their language and promoting NATO in these cities and throwing the Black Sea Fleet out of Crimea and the Black Sea, how could there be any other reaction other than war? everyone knew this, and that we see at the head of the war the same people who carried out the coup d'etat - the USA and Western countries supplying weapons, but the Russian Federation is to blame and it is not free, so it should fall apart into free pieces, lubricate the anus with cream and sit peacefully, nothing missed it?

    Was Daniil approached and explained by "certain men" that the street interviews are "not interesting"? This is the only explanation as it makes no sense otherwise. These interviews are so interesting to the world audience that they had to make a small fortune on this channel. Such a decision is weird without any external influence...

    Daniil, it feels like we are through the looking glass now. I'm so sorry for you Daniil. This feels coerced and unnatural. You have been brave before but clearly you are under pressure at this time. Be well brother and may you and all people in Russia and everywhere have true freedom of speech and free democratic society someday soon. To have this requires brave individuals like you to challenge the system.

      If this was true...he would be in provisory jail waiting for a trial, and then end up spending a few years in jail.
      He would not do an explanation interview.
      Did you watch his new videos?
      "Liberal is an offensive word in Russia"
      "New wave of journalists arrests in Russia"
      If he was taken by the FSB he would not be allowed to publish those either !
      And once again he would be in jail, not outside in the sun.
      He's in Georgia, not in Russia anymore.
      I have the feeling he won't go back..(and he shouldn't)

Your videos have really been so valuable in regards to showing a perspective that maybe isn't heard from or seen very often. Both in regards to you bringing up these thought-provoking questions to your own people, but also allowing us around the world to see it and learn from it. I have no doubt you'll be able to put together some awesome projects in the future. Keep fighting the good fight Daniil!

    Daniil, thank you for everything from just me personally, in the UK. I know that theres a bit of a running commentary in this section, some jokes some serious about any pressure that you may or may not be under from the authorities in Russia.
    All I will say though is that it was great to get the Russian peoples various perspectives on different issues, especially with whats going on now. If the authorities are reading this message, to you I will say that this channel was a positive thing. We saw the good humanity of everyone, even if they had different views. This is a positive beacon for future hope as it ultimately brings us all closer together, which means we can hopefully find common ground and in turn lasting peace.
    Thanks Daniil, now stay out of trouble! ;)
