Just be glad that you weren't born as a Male, your concerns would be much larger than not being able to open a bank account. Many of the youth fled Russia, that's always an option. You're young and talented. You have the ability to make a life for yourself anywhere you want, your city truly is beautiful.
Ruxxian Banking system is part of the system supporting the SMO in Ukraine. So transfer the money and take a 500 hit. Then the system uses the deduction to fund the SMO. All of the citizens in the two major city-states support the SMO through their economic activity. The greater the activity the greater the support. This goes the same way in the opposing countries on the other side of the equation.
@@DJ-xs7ln its the bank. obvious russian banks have been hurt by the seizure by the EU and US of billions of dollars of their assets and Russians accounts frozen overseas, its just financial piracy. Costs have increased, they run a big risk of sanctions by processing Russians US dollar transactions. Dude it is a war, US isn't making any better for Ukraine by forcing Russia into an existential war. Sanctions regimes only force Russia to fight to the end because it is a death grip. What you don't get is that Russia and China only have small fractions of their trade with the US and Russian oil has been sent to China and India instead of Europe. Russia's resources will continue being its bread and butter. If you didn't know Russia has trillions of dollars of military assets from the cold war era. They have converted to a war economy so "50% of US dollars" means nothing to the Russian government since they can't deal with US banks anyway. They are dealing with BRICS countries and using resource commodities for trade and have dumped the USD from what has not been seized by the US through unilateral acts of piracy and other hostile acts of war such as physical seizure of Russian citizens assets.
The outdoor Pizza restaurant that was targeted by a Russian missile yesterday also looked like a beautiful peaceful place, just before it was destroyed.
And unfortunately 2 beautiful twin girls aged 14 lost their lives, amongst many others. I hope the sanctions against Russia start to bight even harder very soon.

@@mythicalrealms2102he US and Nato didn’t invade Ukraine and annex land twice in less than a decade nor are they committing war crimes on the daily in Ukraine. Make no mistake, all Russians are responsible and they deserve everything they’re getting.
Well you don't understand that the west overthrew Ukraines elected president, and outlawed Russians, their language and culture and was furthering a genocide in eastern Ukraine. The oppression of Russians was the cause of this, if Ukraine NATO backed government respected ethnic Russians some 30% of the prewar population of Ukraine none of this would have happened. Ukraine can surrender and propose protections for ethnic Russians at any time and recognize the Ethnic Russian areas of Ukraine as Russia. You have to understand that western backed ultranationalists hate Russians and want to destroy them for revenge for soviet era policies are extremists and do not respect human rights or the international coventant on civil and political rights. 30% of the prewar population of Ukraine was ethnic Russians any many were dual nationals as their parents were Russian or grandparents were Russian. Ukraine was not a country of ethic Ukrainians it was a mix of Jews, Ukrainians and Russians and mixes. The pro ethnic Ukrainians do not respect Russians right to language culture and history and have burned millions of Russian books destroyed their museums banned their language and engaging in human rights abuses on Russians.
The group of Ukrainian refugees I drove from Poland to Ireland all had dogs. A mother and daughter sat in the back with their dogs and a woman from Odessa sat in the front with hers. Her dog, Laylya, was... let's say she was choosy who to be friends with. But by the second day she decided she could tolerate me and would sleep in her human's lap as I drove. Towards the end of the second day we were on the final stretch on a rather nice French motorway. However the passing lane was a bit rougher than the travel lane. I noticed that Laylya would start shivering if I went into the passing lane. I looked up at her person questioningly because she had a little bit of English. She said "The road sounds like artillery. Like explosions in distance. Scared." She stroked Laylya reassuringly in a well-practised routine. I moved back to the travel lane and stuck to it the rest of the way. We had time and I didn't need to rush. Laylya settled back and slept. Best of luck with your banking issues. Must be hard.

Seen in the light of the war Russia has started against Ukraine, I´m happy to see that sanctions slowly starts to work. But Raiffeisen Bank shouldn´t do it at all, so maybe EU has to take a closer look at that.
Personally I think the sanctions should go further and deeper into the source. I do not have anything against this poster but maybe RUclips and other social media platforms and sponsors should not pay out money to content creators in Russia at all till this is over and restitution to Ukraine has been paid. Maybe we should shut off things like go fund me and the cam girl industry to all Russians as well. Only keep business flowing for limited commodities we need. Like fertilizer, some oil and gas, minerals, and food in cut back needed quantities. I personally have stopped drinking Russian vodka since this has happened.

It's nice to see Special Financial Operation working. It will continue until all objectives are met. This is the perfect example of what the goals are, disrupting the lives of everyday people, just as the lives of innocent Ukrainians are disrupted, many times in a bloody, not financial way We call it "reciprocity".

It was not my intention to blame Svetlana. If I appear to do so please accept my apology. I am an American. Although it is changing most of my countrymen are blissfully ignorant as to what’s really going on. What my country is doing around the world is morally repugnant to the extreme. I’m starting a newspaper to expose people to the truth outside the propaganda machine. My government is a monstrous, evil killing machine that must be stopped.
I freshly saw a video of a foreign woman who is in Moscow at the moment. She has got the 3 accounts (EUR, USD RUB) in Raffaisen bank in Russia. Since a transfer in dollars is under an unbelievable fee she was advised using EUR accout instead. All in all the fees of transaction from JP Morgan (USA) to Raffaisen(Russia) were 40 USD for the an international transfer, 500 RUB as a service fee in Russian branch and the exchange rates USD to EUR. It took just two days for obtaining funds. She got it on Thursday this week. It appears a qood way doesn't it?
Hello, I am grateful to you for your attention and your time in creating, producing, and editing your fabulous videos. I am an old man in his late 70's and I have learned that adversity, difficulties and problems are an opportunity, a challenge, and an adventure. I believe that you are a very intelligent, creative lady, who has solved many problems in your life! In life, change is always constant. Change is like the waves of the ocean. You can not stop the waves from coming, but you can learn to surf. I believe in your capablities and determination!
reifeissen bank is austrian bank. it wont get sanctioned but they will probably leave Russia at one point. EDIT : i watched till the end and now i know you dont actualy talk about sancions for bank but kicking out of swift system. Let me give you advise. I am from Serbia and we had sanctions in 90s. There is only two ways out of your position, fight for better Russia or leave and live normal life. Sorry to tell you this but isolation of russia is going to be only bigger in the future, at least while putin is in power. good luck lady.
im sorry for your personal bank issue. but i am happy that it is very difficult now for the dollar, and other currrency flow into russia. hope that Raifessen will implement the EU sacntions soon. the best way is to get rid of the cleptocratic government in moscow
With a population of more than 5 million people St. Petersburg looks to have very clean subways and streets. Don't think you'd see that in U.S. Cites of comparable size.
I watched this video because I couldn´t believe that someone would be so unironically tactless... I was wrong. While Ukrainians are hiding in bomb shelters, this person worries about their bank problems... caused by a government she supports.... which cuts off income she receives from a company based in a country that her government openly hates.... For the record, there are many Russians who are not like this. I met people who left a year ago with nothing. Left their homes, their jobs, their families, left to wherever they could go...out of disgust at an unnecessary and genocidal war... and they made it. I´ve met too many Ukrainians to count that left their homes with as many belongings as they could carry, never knowing if they would see their homes and their loved ones again. People like that, Russian or Ukrainian deserve my sympathy. The person in the video? People like that are the reason we are where we are.
I could feel your pain. You have an expressive, readable face. Great video by the way, I like the way it’s edited, cutting to flowers and cats. “Summer snow” was particularly good. One knows these are good videos because they pop to one’s mind a whole day after seeing them. They definitely have a ‘come with me’ holiday like vibe. I so hope you get your money situation sorted. …life on this planet is sooooooo weird.

Have you considered putting the monetary aspect of your RUclips channel, in another person’s name, a westerner, so that your monies are paid into a foreign account that’s not constrained by these disgusting sanctions. You’d need to be able to trust that person. It’s an idea which could potentially work.

Best way for me as a US citizen is to use cash. if you happen to travel between Russia and a Western Country. For example, keep dollars in USA bank, withdraw cash, up to $10,000 I believe, and bring it with you to Russia. Most Russian banks are happy to exchange dollars to rubles and you use cash for everything. Back to the old days, keep money under the mattress!
You can receive RUclips payments by check. They will mail it to your home address. Then you can travel to a country that is not sanctioned and cash your checks there.
@@robertnunn634 she can open a bank account when she arrives in another country such as Germany or Estonia or any other country she chooses. I did this in Canada.

Being bombed raped and murdered by her fellow Russians is really a terrible situation. And, of course, your comment is terribly oblivious of these facts, you twat.
@pascalbaute5835 Ukrainians who lost limbs after stepping on petal mines, which the Russian dispersed over Ukrainian cities, won't have a normal life again. Ukrainian who got blinded in rocket attacks won't have a normal life either. And women and children who were tortured and raped will bear the scars for the rest of their lives. Better restrict your compassion to that Russian bleached influencer, whose biggest worries are about keeping her lifestyle fueled by a braindead audience. Your compassion for Ukrainians is as fake as Svetlana's hair colour.
@anya_on you are far too merciful on those moronic followers of that Russian zomby. Just imagine this Monsieur Pascal Baute considers it a terrible situation that Svetlana's lifestyle, based on superficial videos, is threatened by sanctions. Whereas you have to endure Russian rocket assaults on Ukrainian cities. And when challenged his says, he hopes people will live together like before. He reminds me of Tom Lehrer's ironic song 'Let's not be beastly to the Germans'.
Please stop complaining, your country and government decided to thread Europe and the Western World with your nuclear weapons and army. Go and complain at your government, you did elect them.

Interesting video and I'm of two minds here. Thanks for the hard work creating content and showcasing your country. It's very interesting to join you on your ventures and I had hoped to travel in Russia, but I guess all bets are off. On the flip side I'm glad the banks are sanctioned and it's working. Now, this isn't any comfort to you and it's unfortunate for the work you are doing here but in the bigger picture, this makes me happy to hear this confirmation that things are blocked. The solution lies close to your home. If you are feeling isolated, well again, not something that in an ideal world is needed but right now, it is. It's not a consequence of your choosing but one or two people took decisions which have had far reaching consequences. This is how it's feeling. Not what you wanted to hear perhaps, but it is what it is. I'll still follow and I hope for humanities sake, it changes.
The Banksters want their cut of Russia just like Ukraine. Putin stopped that, hence the sanctions. Same old story. Don't fall for the vampyres' propaganda.
To open a bank account in Finland, you’ll typically need a valid passport or ID, proof of address, and sometimes a residence permit if you’re a non-EU citizen. Visit a bank branch in Finland, fill out an application, and provide the required documents. Some banks may allow you to start the process online. It’s always a good idea to contact the specific bank beforehand to confirm their requirements and process.
I can tell you how businesses are doing it. Russia has their own system called SPFS, a few banks in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey use it. They use that bank as an intermediary, that bank then uses SWIFT, via another intermediary (that you listed). Some businesses use Gazprom, which actually isn't sanctioned, because countries have to pay for oil and gas, fertilizer, etc. However, no retail bank will do SWIFT with them, these are transfers being done by countries and large businesses. Armenia banned non-residents from getting bank accounts. There is one bank in Kazakhstan that will do it, but it's stupidly expensive. Turkey is on the verge of economic collapse, so Kyrgyzstan is the best option. But what most people are doing is getting a foreign bank account wherever and then using Binance P2P. But Binance isn't going to last much longer and transferring money into Binance is very hard or impossible from a western bank account. I heard a bank or two in Dubai had connected to SPFS but for retail customers I'm going to guess the fees are stupid. Maybe your friend can ask around there.
I am sorry for your banking issues (although sanctions aren't that tough if you can still get around the issue)......that said.......all Russian people in Russia are responsible for your involvement (or lack of involvement) in the politicians you choose (or fail to choose) as representatives of your country and the activities those politicians get up to.
Who asked you what you want like or don't like? Most youtubers LIKE to make a living from RUclips alone. IF YOU GOT IT YOU GOT IT. IF NOT? KEEP CRYING.
Svetlana, I am a retired American and I love learning about Russia from your videos and it makes me sad to see your financial challenges due to sanctions caused by the war with Ukraine. pray that the war ends and that things become easier for you and the Russian people
@@VivianRisingOfficial let's start stopping being racist against Russians, cuz without my country (mine, and I should not talk according to you) Ukraine would have not existed anymore
That is so frustrating… Is it not possible for you to enter into a neighboring country to open up a bank account where there are no sanctions? That way you could possibly receive and withdraw your money? You may have to visit that bank in person every few months, but at least you could access your money….
And what may be the root cause for this frustration? I live in a russia- neighboring country and f*ck me if we let anyone from there cross our border....
Seems YT is paying a pittance now anyway, people that used to earn ok on a channel must rely on direct support/patrons. Even without any sanctions issue.
Go to a country that is not sanctioned and open account and does not sanction Russia such as BRICS . then wire from that bank to your bank at home. So you sould have 2 banks. One inside your home and one outside. Then you do not suffer high fees.
After Russia's complete defeat in the war against Ukraine, there will be an opportunity to reverse sanctions against banks after reparations are paid by Russia.The quicker the victory, the quicker things will return towards normal.😊
Svetlana, don't take this personally, but the more bad news I hear about Russia, the happier the world and I are. I hope the sanctions go beyond the war (which I foresee will be over soon because the Russian armies are getting weaker and weaker). Also, all Russians should PAY to rebuild Ukraine and take chivalry lessons from the West for the next century or more. Russians have made themselves second-class citizens before the world by supporting the war or doing nothing to change the political status quo in Russia in the last twenty years. For that, all Russians are going to have to pay. Sorry for the honesty, but I'm sure you Russians are used to it.
timsummer, take no offense, don't take this personally as you say, and in all respect for you ..... but if we follow your sheer and SYMETRIC (hopefully) logic, BEFORE Russia is to rebuild Ukraine, we should first make sure that this last country has been freed from the dictatorial rule of its cynical corrupt president, AND next we should first call out to us and uk to repay for the innumerable crimes of war and appalling destruction, genocides and other senseless mass murders by them conducted on five continents for the last three centuries , including destruction of a large number of priceless archaeological and architectural treasures in Canada, in Iraq, in Syria, AND us and uk should equally pay their share for the rebuilding of Ukraine, since they, in the first place, did everything possible to TRIGGER this war which is right now procuring enormous obvious advantages to both of them, considering they have been fuelling the conflict by providing large quantities of weapons and ammunition, which, by the way, have contributed a significant share of the destruction going on in eastern Ukraine.
@@xsc1000 Sorry and take no offense what soever but I don't get you because you don't specify what you deem funny propaganda lies here. Please be more specific if you mean to be understood.
Sanctions should only seize and auction off all property owned by all the perpetrators of invading their neighbors and killing them which should be limited to everyone in the military or government that voted in favor it. They should keep a list of them, and not bother everyone else. Especially not people who protested it or refused to join the army.
Its not sanctions. Your country first have shown itself as wildly unpredictable and now is just sinking. Any reasonable companies and banks lost hope for safe profits and they are limiting their operations to bare minimum. And it will get worse, much worse.

78% of Ukrainians have relatives or friends who were wounded or died because of Russian invasion into Ukraine. 64% of Ukrainians have at least one close relative or friend who was wounded. 63% of Ukrainians have at least one close relative or friend who died in the full-scale invasion.

Why are you not blaming the US that created the conflict in 2014. Russia had nothing to do with the Obama/Biden coup that ended democracy and installed the first authentic Nazi saturated government that has been murdering 10s of thousands of Russian speakers in the region. Russia only entered after being begged by DPR and LPR to come in and stop the war. Why were you not protesting that violation of all international law? Russia is close to ending it. You can't be that misinformed to think Putin started this. Russia is finishing it however.

Don't get me wrong, I used to live in Moscow for some years and overall had a wonderful time. But the government, the leadership and corruption that whole structure has been and still is awful and makes the Russian people suffer. (who let it all happen, by the way) Same with the war.

Ruxxian Banking system is part of the system supporting the SMO in Ukraine. So transfer the money and take a 500 hit. Then the system uses the deduction to fund the SMO. All of the citizens in the two major city-states support the SMO through their economic activity. The greater the activity the greater the support. This goes the same way in the opposing countries on the other side of the equation.
@@DJ-xs7ln its the bank. obvious russian banks have been hurt by the seizure by the EU and US of billions of dollars of their assets and Russians accounts frozen overseas, its just financial piracy. Costs have increased, they run a big risk of sanctions by processing Russians US dollar transactions. Dude it is a war, US isn't making any better for Ukraine by forcing Russia into an existential war. Sanctions regimes only force Russia to fight to the end because it is a death grip. What you don't get is that Russia and China only have small fractions of their trade with the US and Russian oil has been sent to China and India instead of Europe. Russia's resources will continue being its bread and butter. If you didn't know Russia has trillions of dollars of military assets from the cold war era. They have converted to a war economy so "50% of US dollars" means nothing to the Russian government since they can't deal with US banks anyway. They are dealing with BRICS countries and using resource commodities for trade and have dumped the USD from what has not been seized by the US through unilateral acts of piracy and other hostile acts of war such as physical seizure of Russian citizens assets.
only a tiny percentage left Russia so try to post facts instead of LIES.

Well you don't understand that the west overthrew Ukraines elected president, and outlawed Russians, their language and culture and was furthering a genocide in eastern Ukraine. The oppression of Russians was the cause of this, if Ukraine NATO backed government respected ethnic Russians some 30% of the prewar population of Ukraine none of this would have happened. Ukraine can surrender and propose protections for ethnic Russians at any time and recognize the Ethnic Russian areas of Ukraine as Russia. You have to understand that western backed ultranationalists hate Russians and want to destroy them for revenge for soviet era policies are extremists and do not respect human rights or the international coventant on civil and political rights. 30% of the prewar population of Ukraine was ethnic Russians any many were dual nationals as their parents were Russian or grandparents were Russian. Ukraine was not a country of ethic Ukrainians it was a mix of Jews, Ukrainians and Russians and mixes. The pro ethnic Ukrainians do not respect Russians right to language culture and history and have burned millions of Russian books destroyed their museums banned their language and engaging in human rights abuses on Russians.

The group of Ukrainian refugees I drove from Poland to Ireland all had dogs. A mother and daughter sat in the back with their dogs and a woman from Odessa sat in the front with hers. Her dog, Laylya, was... let's say she was choosy who to be friends with. But by the second day she decided she could tolerate me and would sleep in her human's lap as I drove.
Towards the end of the second day we were on the final stretch on a rather nice French motorway. However the passing lane was a bit rougher than the travel lane. I noticed that Laylya would start shivering if I went into the passing lane. I looked up at her person questioningly because she had a little bit of English. She said "The road sounds like artillery. Like explosions in distance. Scared." She stroked Laylya reassuringly in a well-practised routine. I moved back to the travel lane and stuck to it the rest of the way. We had time and I didn't need to rush. Laylya settled back and slept.
Best of luck with your banking issues. Must be hard.
Aww, Laylya. Thank you for helping that family and including the dog.

Lovely sirniki - I lived in Russia for 7 years and loved the sirniki. 😋 Sorry about your difficulties with the bank though.
Seen in the light of the war Russia has started against Ukraine, I´m happy to see that sanctions slowly starts to work. But Raiffeisen Bank shouldn´t do it at all, so maybe EU has to take a closer look at that.
Personally I think the sanctions should go further and deeper into the source. I do not have anything against this poster but maybe RUclips and other social media platforms and sponsors should not pay out money to content creators in Russia at all till this is over and restitution to Ukraine has been paid. Maybe we should shut off things like go fund me and the cam girl industry to all Russians as well. Only keep business flowing for limited commodities we need. Like fertilizer, some oil and gas, minerals, and food in cut back needed quantities. I personally have stopped drinking Russian vodka since this has happened.

Since a transfer in dollars is under an unbelievable fee she was advised using EUR accout instead. All in all the fees of transaction from JP Morgan (USA) to Raffaisen(Russia) were 40 USD for the an international transfer, 500 RUB as a service fee in Russian branch and the exchange rates USD to EUR. It took just two days for obtaining funds. She got it on Thursday this week. It appears a qood way doesn't it?

There is only two ways out of your position, fight for better Russia or leave and live normal life.

I watched this video because I couldn´t believe that someone would be so unironically tactless... I was wrong. While Ukrainians are hiding in bomb shelters, this person worries about their bank problems... caused by a government she supports.... which cuts off income she receives from a company based in a country that her government openly hates....
For the record, there are many Russians who are not like this. I met people who left a year ago with nothing. Left their homes, their jobs, their families, left to wherever they could go...out of disgust at an unnecessary and genocidal war... and they made it. I´ve met too many Ukrainians to count that left their homes with as many belongings as they could carry, never knowing if they would see their homes and their loved ones again. People like that, Russian or Ukrainian deserve my sympathy. The person in the video? People like that are the reason we are where we are.
I could feel your pain. You have an expressive, readable face.
Great video by the way, I like the way it’s edited, cutting to flowers and cats. “Summer snow” was particularly good.

On the flip side I'm glad the banks are sanctioned and it's working. Now, this isn't any comfort to you and it's unfortunate for the work you are doing here but in the bigger picture, this makes me happy to hear this confirmation that things are blocked. The solution lies close to your home. If you are feeling isolated, well again, not something that in an ideal world is needed but right now, it is. It's not a consequence of your choosing but one or two people took decisions which have had far reaching consequences. This is how it's feeling.
Not what you wanted to hear perhaps, but it is what it is. I'll still follow and I hope for humanities sake, it changes.
The Banksters want their cut of Russia just like Ukraine. Putin stopped that, hence the sanctions. Same old story. Don't fall for the vampyres' propaganda.
To open a bank account in Finland, you’ll typically need a valid passport or ID, proof of address, and sometimes a residence permit if you’re a non-EU citizen. Visit a bank branch in Finland, fill out an application, and provide the required documents. Some banks may allow you to start the process online. It’s always a good idea to contact the specific bank beforehand to confirm their requirements and process.
I can tell you how businesses are doing it. Russia has their own system called SPFS, a few banks in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey use it. They use that bank as an intermediary, that bank then uses SWIFT, via another intermediary (that you listed). Some businesses use Gazprom, which actually isn't sanctioned, because countries have to pay for oil and gas, fertilizer, etc. However, no retail bank will do SWIFT with them, these are transfers being done by countries and large businesses. Armenia banned non-residents from getting bank accounts. There is one bank in Kazakhstan that will do it, but it's stupidly expensive. Turkey is on the verge of economic collapse, so Kyrgyzstan is the best option. But what most people are doing is getting a foreign bank account wherever and then using Binance P2P. But Binance isn't going to last much longer and transferring money into Binance is very hard or impossible from a western bank account. I heard a bank or two in Dubai had connected to SPFS but for retail customers I'm going to guess the fees are stupid. Maybe your friend can ask around there.
I am sorry for your banking issues (although sanctions aren't that tough if you can still get around the issue)......that said.......all Russian people in Russia are responsible for your involvement (or lack of involvement) in the politicians you choose (or fail to choose) as representatives of your country and the activities those politicians get up to.

After Russia's complete defeat in the war against Ukraine, there will be an opportunity to reverse sanctions against banks after reparations are paid by Russia.The quicker the victory, the quicker things will return towards normal.😊
I also think Russia will have to pay billions of dollars in reparations, but not very optimistic they actually will
Svetlana, don't take this personally, but the more bad news I hear about Russia, the happier the world and I are. I hope the sanctions go beyond the war (which I foresee will be over soon because the Russian armies are getting weaker and weaker). Also, all Russians should PAY to rebuild Ukraine and take chivalry lessons from the West for the next century or more. Russians have made themselves second-class citizens before the world by supporting the war or doing nothing to change the political status quo in Russia in the last twenty years. For that, all Russians are going to have to pay. Sorry for the honesty, but I'm sure you Russians are used to it.
timsummer, take no offense, don't take this personally as you say, and in all respect for you ..... but if we follow your sheer and SYMETRIC (hopefully) logic, BEFORE Russia is to rebuild Ukraine, we should first make sure that this last country has been freed from the dictatorial rule of its cynical corrupt president, AND next we should first call out to us and uk to repay for the innumerable crimes of war and appalling destruction, genocides and other senseless mass murders by them conducted on five continents for the last three centuries , including destruction of a large number of priceless archaeological and architectural treasures in Canada, in Iraq, in Syria, AND us and uk should equally pay their share for the rebuilding of Ukraine, since they, in the first place, did everything possible to TRIGGER this war which is right now procuring enormous obvious advantages to both of them, considering they have been fuelling the conflict by providing large quantities of weapons and ammunition, which, by the way, have contributed a significant share of the destruction going on in eastern Ukraine.

So, tell me again, what is YOUR problem?
I’m sure Russian conscripts would rather be doing something better with their lives also
@@paulc3749 Absolutely, they would prefer to search a bank account instead of going to die miserably for just nothing ....
The victime are on both sides, one side looses their relatives, homes, everything, the other side has problems to find a bank account. But just one side is responsible for the mess. The Russian population needs to wake up soon and change in a way that we all can enjoy beautiful woman in beautiful sceneries again ...
@@japetbu3487 , wars of this size are a lot more complicated than ‘one side being responsible’ You having a pop at Svetlana is not going make Putin stop his war
@@paulc3749but she could at least try stopping to support the regime with her taxes.
Btw in history there weren’t many cases of a clearer war responsibility than this
@@tdrs1765 thanks, my speech.
@paulc3749 Paying taxes from income of the rotten west attacking the innocent motherland, not even trying to change the regime with going to vote (I'm aware that elections in Russia are falsified, but not even to try?), not one critical word despite her coverage is to much for me.
Each and everybody is obliged to do what can be expected to do, even if they cannot change the world alone. Otherwise, they are guilty as well. The problem is not Putin only and will not disapear with Putin alone ....
But I agree, there are worse channels. At least Svetlana shows that sanctions are working. Other Russian channels neglect even this.
Simple question: do you want the war to be stopped by Russia?
Why would Russia stop the war?? They haven't completed their goals yet. When that happens, they'll stop the war. Until then, war.
@@mythicalrealms2102 You speak the truth. I'm from America, and we cause many problems in the World. Also, we have so many problems here because of the corrupt politicians. Our hope is that Trump will win the next election and stop the war and sanctions. We will have a great country soon, I hope. Best to you and the Russian people.
@@mythicalrealms2102It is a very fair question to ask.

NFG. I suppose you can always be thankful that a Russian missile didn't demolish your home while you were out suffering in the peaceful surroundings of your city.
Great video I wish you the best!

I’m praying for you Peace and Safety Svetlana God Bless You 🌹
I'm praying for peace and safety of Ukraine.
I bet God doesn't give a horsecrap about your prayers for this braindead Russian zombie without any compassion for Ukrainian victims of Russian aggression and war crimes.
Svetlana tell mr.pootin thank you very much😂
Normal citizens in every country always pay the price of there political leaders.
We get blamed for the actions of the Politicians and Elite in our countries. Yet all we want to do is live our lives and not be forced into things. 🙏🏽 Sveltana
small price to pay to be in a free country without gmo, graphene, arson or forced v . they are killing us over here and planning on taking over the world. God help Russia
Towards the end of the video are you referring to USD500?
God bless you sweetie 😘🇺🇸😘
Whenever I watch your videos I keep being reminded of Ukraine.
I have seen several Russian RUclips creators who went to Georgia and opened a bank account so they could receive their RUclips payments. This was last year so I'm not sure if this is still possible. If wouldn't hurt to research this option. Svetlana, you are a strong, resourceful and positive person and I have confidence that you will be successful in opening an account without exorbitant fees. Take care and remember that you have many people worldwide sending you positive thoughts and prayers to you. 🫂
👍✋👋
last time i checked georgian banks offered high interest savings accounts aswell....something like 9%....that was a year or 2 before covid tho
@@stevestevens502better than 50% commission as she said. this is a blackmail, not a commission
It was all the liberals who fled to Georgia the protesters
More Erima please 🙏!
Could be worse, you could be stuck in Russia in the middle of a civil war.
Hi 👋🏻 Svetlana 😊 Stop the war is the best solution for everyone 👍🏻 Now Putin is talking with Kim Jon Un about ammunition we better all pray 🙏 for peace ✌🏻 Good luck 🤞🏻🏴
IMHO it's unfair when sanctions affect ordinary, honest, hardworking people who have no direct influence on the decisions of their political leaders. Hopefully this situation will change soon. Hang in there, Svetlana.
The German people tried that one after WW2 - we didn't know anything, we couldn't do anything - but the world said Yes you did, and they have been apologizing ever since....
Good morning! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe!
Sorry to hear about ur troubles I remember you saying you had an American husband which means you should be a dual citizen and can just open a Chase bank account
What ever happened to that guy?
@@josephblomeister3040 I honestly don't know I remember her saying she was leaving Russia with her husband who's American and she went to a bunch of Russia friendly countries then normal videos resumes so I'm thinking it didn't work out.
@@josephblomeister3040 oh he knows what he’s doing😆
It's very sad what Russia has done to Ukraine and all the death and horror Putin has done. I love your channel and try to keep politics out of your channel but this is all because of Putin. Stay safe and hope everything works it's way out soon.
The reason why she and almost all the other Russians stay away from anything politically related is what has caused the current state of things!
@@christianmusso629 US censorship? The only problems is due to US sanctions and dealing with US corporations.
Why are you not blaming the US that created the conflict in 2014. Russia had nothing to do with the Obama/Biden coup that ended democracy and installed the first authentic Nazi saturated government that has been murdering 10s of thousands of Russian speakers in the region. Russia only entered after being begged by DPR and LPR to come in and stop the war. Why were you not protesting that violation of all international law? Russia is close to ending it. You can't be that misinformed to think Putin started this. Russia is finishing it however.
Ukraine participated in that Iraq invasion. Did you feel pity for the people of Iraq 🇮🇶
@@christianmusso629 Ukraine participated in that Iraq invasion. Did you feel pity for the people of Iraq 🇮🇶
I'm happy to see that sanctions work and are felt for ruzzian citizzens. Slava Ukraini!
Why would you show such hatred towards the general populous of any nation? You sound like a brainwashed NPC.
here 1.40$ not much but this get me Nasi Lemak, from Malaysia with Love..
This is really sweet! Thank you😊
Doesn't come unexpected, yet I feel sorry for you. Hope this is another eye opener to help see which country you really live in. Don't get me wrong, I used to live in Moscow for some years and overall had a wonderful time. But the government, the leadership and corruption that whole structure has been and still is awful and makes the Russian people suffer. (who let it all happen, by the way) Same with the war. From outside we can only watch and hope that Putin and his entourage will soon be overthrown and punished the one or other way. Prigoschin was hopefully a starting point in that direction.....
That's what sanctions are for!
I am totally shocked that Raiffeisen, an Austrian bank does undermine the sanctions!
I hope this will be stopped soon.
😢 Hopefully, it will all get better.
I hope it is better for Ukraine and the Russian people finally stop their support for Putin.
@@slavicmelodies9614 After what they have done and their support for Putin I would like things to get worse for Russia
@@slavicmelodies9614 Wrong I do not speak for the west, wrong again I did not say all 145 million Russians. I would like the Russians to stand up against the war and stop their support in killing women and children.
@@slavicmelodies9614 Do you really think that will help ? I want this war to stop, you seem to want my family and country destroyed like Ukraine, I am sure Putin is thankful for your support.
i am sure somebody already suggested it
but why don’t you open a bank account in kazakhstan or kyrgyzstan
Why you cannot open a bank account abroad, maybe by foreign residency or without, after 3 months you are considered resident. Ask "nomad capitalist" he knows a lot, or do more research which country you can open one. In Kirkiz Kazakstan , Azer , Turkey, georgian,, Dubai, Armenian, Uzbek , or maybe name your friend ' s bank not yourself on the beneficiary of your income, that she can bring your money regularly on her visit. No ucrainean bank left in Crimeea that still works?
every Russian citizen should have to pay 95% of their income to Ukraine for reparations, and this should be forever
Every American should have to pay 95% of their income to Ukraine for reparations. Fixed it for you,
l guess using the brain isn't your strong suit
@@mistercointreau5247 When did America invade Ukraine?
@@sinistersilverado965 America instigated the coup of 2014. They have trained the Ukraine army since that time. And boy, they really, really wanted this war to happen. But the war has not gone too well for them. Screw America and screw the so called special relationship.
I'm sorry you are going through such a difficult time with getting money in Banks being under sanctions. Hopefully it will all work out for you very soon. You know it is always the way it works it is the people who suffer for the government decisions no matter what country. Thank you for the video please be safe and careful
In the middle of a war there is no satisfying everyone. Everyone has their own point of view. I know from going to Russia that it is not the Russian people that made this happen. But you know everyone blames all the people not the government.
@robertnunn634 They do not have robust political engagement in Russia. Most people don't participate. In the West, we are schooled to vote and actively encouraged to do so, ok perhaps not in the US, but the rest off us are.
