I am sorry that some bioheaps that think that they could rule millions destroy the chances of millions to live a descent life.
❤️ @ Konstantin.
LOTS OF RUSSIANS OUTSIDE RUSSIA, AND THOSE THAT ATTEND ORTHODOX CHURCHES, SUPPORT PUTIN AND CHEER FOR THE WAR. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
@INSIDERUSSIA ... Constantin, I'm just curious ...If a Russian outside of the US has an immediate family member living in the US who is a US citizen, can the family member in the US legally sponsor the immediate family member to go to the US? ... thanks
Every country's citizens are responsible for the government they allow to rule them.
Even in America we as citizens are responsible for the bad choices we currently have...it is our own fault and our responsibility to ourselves and our posterity to fix it. It is the challenge of our times.
Like Putin if it benefited the US government would sell their mother out, to stay in power😎
Dear Konstantin. I have written this message to you a lot of times. In Norway we had open borders for our russian and in the society in Kirkenes people lived together with people from Murmansk. It's nothing wrong with ordinary russian people and therefore the notthern border was open long time after the war started, but the Russian regime began sending waves of people with interests for military installations and a lot of scary situations happened near the oil istallations with russian people ofcourse sent from the regime. I dont know if this was to spy or for planning terror activities, but we had ships following the gaslines and flying drones at military installations. Maybe the Russian regime wanted to have our borders closed to prevent russians to fly the country, I don't know but we had too many scary situations made by the Russian regime. I'm sorry for that, but in Norway we wanted to have an open border until this happened. I understand that ordinary Russian people are disapointed but you have to blame the Putin regime for that. Best Regards from Norway
Yes and No it's people ,
All those police and Fsb agents had Parents all those soldiers who killed for the Motherland , it's not Putin it's been Rusia pt1 pt 2 pt3 on so on and on again , yes there are good people but they are locked up or dead, what about everyone saying enough is enough, parents scold the adult child with Motherland issues and realise we all live here.
How can it be Putin when 1/3 want Nuclear. Yes propergander what a nice excuse from feeling what is right and what is wrong.
This is how it was started in Ukraine, Russians with bad intentions came flooding in, next Russia claimed their people were being mistreated. This gave the excuse to attack Ukraine both times. Of course I do not believe that the people from the Breakfast Club are that way but countries are scared.
Ni gjördes alldeles rätt att stänga gränsen.
You basically had no choice. And so any other nation has no choice. There are spies and terrorists among the refugees. It's a fact.
So sorry for the decent people, as they indeed suffer under the deeds of the bad people. But this is wartime and they have got to understand, that the West simply wants to survive and be free too.
Norway is beloved around the world. I trust that Norway is doing what it must.
Russia bombed a children's hospital in Kiev today. A hospital that treated very sick children with cancer etc.
Russia will pay dearly for their crimes, unfortunately those who detest Putin and the war will also pay for decades to come.
Makes you sick, indeed.
So monstrous, so horrible, so Putin.
Here in Stellenbosch we have a very good University and seeing that it is South Africa, you should have no visa problems
It is absolutely evil. Russia is this Century's Nazi Germany. 1930s repeating itself.
I’ll never forget a video I saw refugee Ukrainian women protesting about the war, holding large photographs of their loved ones they lost who they were grieving for,
When all of a sudden 2 Russian women passing by them started saying derogatory things and laughing very hard at them.
The looks on the Ukrainian women’s’ faces.
It was one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen.
I know not all Russians are this way, but it’s undeniable that a large portion is. If Russians want to be a part of the world and be able to visit other countries, it doesn’t help at all for some to act like horrid, inhuman monsters!

There are plenty of Russians who oppose the war in Uzbekistan, Georgia, etc. who are not being rounded up (at least not yet) despite the pro-Putin stance of their governments. As for the 1990s, Konstantin explained that people could get visas but that it could be challenging. I studied in Moscow and when I returned home, I helped a university friend come and visit me. I also picked up a group of Russian students from the airport who stayed with us on their way to an agricultural college out West. You didn’t need dark connections to get a visa just a good reason and the belief you would return to Russia.

Thank you Konstantin for taking some responsibility for Russia’s invasion, but you didn’t make that terrible decision. I am a Ukrainian living in the USA and have family in Ukraine. The thing that makes me very angry are the lies that Putin tells his people and cuts them off from any other news that might convict him of these crimes. It will be a long time before Russians are trusted in this world and maybe it’s well deserved. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Konstantin lives in the city of Tashkent, just on the Russian border. Tashkent is in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan (old soviet republic) is a CLOSE friend with Russia. President of undemocratic Uzbekistan have friendly meetings with Putin (and Orban from Hungary). There are political prisoners in this country.
How is it possible that Konstantin can freely do anti Russia talks in a country like Uzbekistan , without FSB allowing it? It would be so easy for the Russians to kill Konstantin, if they wanted to do this.
More questions:
- how an average Russian without dark connections & money could get a US visa in the 90'? There were Thousands of homeless children living on Moscow streets, sniffing glue, doing prostitution ect., those days.
- how come, he had a successful business in energy sector, without close connection to FSB?

Russian people will have to pay for the crimes of the Russian Government's actions like the German people had to pay & the German people certainly lived with the shame during the 1980's when I lived there.
The Germans still live with the shame and guilt today. I would never say to anyone that I‘m proud to be German and when I‘m abroad I always hope that people don‘t realize I‘m German because they might be hostile towards me. And please note my parents were not even born when Hitler came into power, the were little children during WWII, so they didn‘t do anything wrong. And still I‘m carrying the guilt and so do my children. And this guilt is why we let so many migrants from completely different and very violent societies into our country, migrants that don‘t bother to integrate into our society. When are we finally done with the indulgence?
But it's important to let the "loosers" not pay to much. Otherwise it could lead to another war, like Germany after the first WW. The people have to see a perspective. Even if they acting very unfriendly now.
@@ralphwiggum4128 I agree re: WW1 example, it has to be judged without Vindictive action.

Russians are still coming to America's southern border by the many thousands. Four weeks ago we ate at an Italian restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama. I have to survey restaurants for my books, with recipes & travel etc. We had a waiter from Russia a male. Most interesting. Sunday just few days ago we went back to try their new menu and again survey them and this time, a female in her late 50's or so, came to take our order. She had an Italian accent, but she was Russian. I said, as we too travel all over the world, you have an interesting accent. She said, "I am Russian!" She had an interesting cross accent, as she lived in Turin, Italy for many years, but her parents were still in Russia. She lives with her son and his wife in Birmingham, as he is finishing his doctorate at UAB Medical School in Radiology. As an X professor, I studied with some of them, as people in pre-med were smart and great at those lab test preparation study periods. So, she helps them with the kids and also with money from wage and tips, etc. She was for sure happy to be in America and she loved working at this wonderful quality Italian restaurant, and she said their staff was also the best she ever worked in Italy or America. Putin is now destroying Russia in every way, as they had it all natural resources, vast energy for export, and for a short while a little acceptance, (not real trust, as Russia has a long history of aggression toward neighbors), but now there are few nations who want to do business with Russia. On a book research tour for a month pre-Covid-19 we went to all the northern E.U. nations and then over a week into St. Petersburg and the contrast went from smiles in Europe to NO smiles anywhere in Russia, even then. Go figure, as St. Petersburg is the crown jewel of Russia and yet the people knew things were still not reflective of a true democracy, even then. Russia is Kaput! The coming breakdown will be far worse than 91' when they lost many parts of Russian territory and their population went from over 300 million to half that. This time it will be a cake walk compared to the breakup of the Soviet Union. They deserve all that is coming to them, as they started this needless war against their peaceful little democratic neighbor!
Someone visiting Putin's Russia in 2019 is a bit like those who boasted taking a holiday in Germany after Czechoslovakia and Austria were annexed.
Prayers for the babies in Kyiv today. Was sad watching the children brought out on gurneys. Putin is pure evil.
So was the bloke who carried out the orders.
I first visited Ukraine in 2003, at that time because of what I learned of Russian interfering in Ukrainian politics and because of its strategic position and history that Russia would never allow Ukraine the freedom its people desired.
i have friends in Russia and have been warning them for years of the direction of travel of Russia and with what I know of Putin's life story it was clear he was on an authoritarian path of total control of Russia. Despite my warnings , they scorned my views which was surprising considering Russia's history under the tsars and communist rule. When i spoke of the assassination of Litvinenko in the UK they did not believe it was by Putin's hand.
Russia now is a pariah and the majority of Russians still support the SMO and Putin. I have no sympathy for Russia and most Russians , the suffering they are experiencing now has been brought upon themselves.
The US admits to spending $5 billion dollars interfering in Ukrainian politics before 2014. But that's okay to you?
@@user-wj6dt5bq3w And over many years ruzzia has spent and continues to spend billions interfering in the politics and elections of many European countries and the US . Is that ok with you? Ruzzia is starting to reap what it has sown.

The US has been at fault, the British Empire has been at fault, Colonial France has been at fault. The list goes on and on. So what?
The people rose, and governments fell.
We should expect nothing short of that from the Russians.
@@user-wj6dt5bq3w Please can you provide links to be able to research your point?

Yes the audacity of Russians to start acting like Crimea is russian is disgusting, that includes Konstantin.
Right. And that wasn't the first act of aggression by Russia either. Russia is never not at war
@@henriikkak2091
Remember Tbilisi, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia in 2008 and prior during Shevernadze when Russian troops killed 10,000+ on Rustevelli Avenue
I was thinking the same thing. That was the defining moment.
@@alyonapetrova694 A tragic event on April 9, 1989, where Soviet troops used violence against demonstrators on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, Georgia, resulting in the death of 21 people and injuries to hundreds.
This event is known as the April 9 tragedy or the massacre of Tbilisi. This incident does not involve the killing of 10,000+ people.
YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB REPORTING THE NEWS INSIDE RUSSIA. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE, YOU ARE DOING GREAT WORK.
Dear Konstantin, for what I understand, Russia as a country has only very briefly known democracy. It has been under authoritarian rule for centuries if not since very remote times.
So this way of seeing the world is deeply ingrained in the customs and mentality of the people.
You've traveled enough to know how mentalities differ from place to place and that what people consider to be hard reality in one place is only a strange custom for people with a different life experience.
So that's an explanation for many Russians not really being able to envision freedom or democracy.
As a teacher told us many years ago to answer a question about why the Chinese people accepted the tyrannical rule Communist Party. He said that for millenia China had belonged to the Emperor and he had power of life and death over everyone in the country. Then the Communist Party came, it owned the entire country and had power of life and death over everyone. For the population, nothing really changed and they continued to accept it.
It feels to me as an ignorant foreigner that with the 1917 revolution, a tyrannical leadership class was replaced with another tyrannical leadership class that was almost the same except for using different justifications for their rule.
Even the fact that the nomenclatura and their special advantages and stores have kept going on up to now is to me another sign that for a large part of the population, most changes have been cosmetic more than anything else, and all the absurd rules have continued the same except for some window dressing.
Centuries ago, people went to complain about their misery and beg to the local "noble" or landowner, now they complain and beg to governors or to the new emperor.
So I pity them and at the same time, everyone has ethical choices to make in life. Yes or no to accept certain things or not. Do we still have a heart or not. Are we still human beings or not. Everyone in the world with this type of choices at some point, if not regularly.
Now you are exiled, your ties with your very wide family have been torn, your sense of community and belonging has been damaged. I know firsthand how much this can hurt.
You're a family person, your success in the US at the job you had at the hotel in Maine seems to have been linked in part to your natural ability and desire to connect with visitors and to wanting to make them feel welcome.
You bring this everywhere with you, including to your YT channel. You probably already know it: this is one of your very special qualities.
I can easily imagine your hurt and grieving at being in exile, which is so contrary to your nature.
Clearly your qualities as a family man by essence brought you to create the Tashkent Breakfast Club and many more projects.
Personally, I'm somewhat good at stating the obvious. 😏🤣
It has never known democracy.
Russia abandoned communism and adopted crony capitalism but there was never any real change politically.
Thanks for your interesting comment.
I wish you the best, Konstantin.🙏🏻

I don't know if this helps anything, but I'd like to explain about the reasoning for visa restrictions from non-Russian perspective. First, many Russian politicians and oligarchs, many of whom visibly support putin and the war have for a long time owned apartments and houses abroad for repeated trips there. Now, it would look very bad if people who support crimes and suffering elsewhere would be able to freely travel on vacation and have fun themselves. Apparently attempts are made to deal with such individuals individually, based on how there have been also "false positives"; in some cases citizens of EU countries have had to go to their bank with short notice to prove again who they are, to show that they are not the Russian politician or oligarch who had just been personally targeted with sanctions, and that they just happen to have a similar name because of ancestry. So it seems that it's not easy to target foreign citizens individually; I suppose that because there are no globally coordinated ID numbers, people in such cases have to be targeted only by their name, and that's a problem because almost always there would be multiple people with the same name in the world.
Second, there have been cases where Russians who had been issued visas have disturbed Ukraine-supporting demonstrations by waving Russian flags and shouting pro-Russia slogans. Again, that's a very bad look. So, while majority of Russians willing to travel abroad can be anti-war, there are some bad apples who just want to evade sanctions or don't want to be drafted themselves, but otherwise are indifferent or even pro-war. And determining what each of the hundreds of thousands or millions of applicants actually thinks would require impossible mind-reading skills. That's why countries are defaulting to the side of denial of visas, to avoid the troublemakers.
So basically Russians having hard time to go abroad is largely caused by the few bad apples who ruin it for everyone.
@@user-pd7ud8kr6q You posted your concern more than enough times. You wrote: "Konstantin lives in the city of Tashkent, just on the Russian border." WHAT MAP ARE YOU LOOKING AT? Look again.

Around 2010 We had 3 young, Russian roommates in Boston. It was both a positve and negative experience from my point of view. The two boys were very nice interesting 19 year olds. The girl was a piece of work with a unique brainwashed mindset. She'd been taken from her family and recruited into a gymnastics program at the age of 5. That was basically where she grew up and only visited her family twice a year. She told me with full belief that Putin would take over America without firing one bullet...hmmm. Yeah, meanwhile the boys loved everything about the USA. I felt often that they'd been deprived throughout their lives of things we so take for granted. It was one of the boys birthdays, he adored basket ball. And even though he was turning 20, I ordered a muti-level chocolate cake with a basket ball court theme top, with little nets and players, etc. Like you would for a much younger kid. I did it because I thought he might think it was silly fun. I never could have imagined his reaction. It was overwhelming. He literally fell to his knees and cried tears of joy. To be honest it kind of freaked me out. He was so emotional and told me he'd never had a birthday cake or party. That he'd never seen a cake such as this, and how much he loved it. In all the years I raised my own kids, I'd never had even one so grateful for a cake. I often think of the boys and what they must be experiencing. I wonder if they were able to get out. The two Alexi's and Ekaterina. I wonder if they are all alive and how they are doing. I wish we'd stayed in touch, but life moved on and was complicated. I am sorry for all of the innocent. So much pain, destruction and death with no actual purpose, as if there could be any. All of it, so unneccessary. It's like burning down the house, then crying about how old it is outside, only it was your neighbor's house. This is what happens when the populous drowns itself in everclear, and allows an evil dictator to take over. Whatever happened to the "good old days" full of assinations and revolution? Sitting and crying over coffee never got the job done. I just wonder how much longer can this go on? The price of Karma is so high. China, same. You can't kill 20 million world wide and get away with it.
As a German, we are a few generations ahead, still shouldering the responsibility of the actions of our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. And still the virus is creeping back in looking at the horrible disgusting AfD success over here.
As a descendant of European settlers in the Americas, I too feel that way at times.
I’m from former East Germany and moved to Australia right after the unification and can’t believe people would fall again for the AFD madness in the new German federal states, so I really do understand Konstantin’s worries for the future of his Motherland. Don’t get me wrong even I was growing up in a communist country where most rules and laws were guided from the USSR and I’m still didn’t turn into a communist . Because of Putin’s war I don’t hate every single Russian citizen , but I would rather say I dislike most of them except these Russians who really try to show they opposition against Putin’s politics in Russia or in exile like Konstantin .
And the extremist right in the USA.

With 33% of the Russian population supporting nuclear bombing of Ukraine, that only supports the difficulty with travel. How would a counselor granting visas determine if any Russian requesting travel is included in that 33%? It would be a harsh belief system to willingly accept into any country and give that person a visa. What concepts are being taught in Russia that supports this level of hatred for Ukraine? Ukraine just wanted to be a democracy which was its status, yet Russia was not going to let that continue? We cannot understand it in USA.
Genocidal propaganda on TV 24/7 has had its effect. It's not just Ukrainians, though. Poles, Balts, and Estonians are being vilified as well.
No word of warning from our Russian friends about this. They think it's normal

Dear Konstantine. I want you to know that your videos are being heard across the world. Despite the vast majority of negative outcomes for your country and the sad leadership that guides it, there are many examples of beacons of light such as you. You are an example of that beacon which will grow over time and one day transform your nation into a looked upon nation. I just want to say that despite dark times of extreme pain and shame, your vocal videos are making all of us love those like you who can display the upmost honesty and integrity which even in the most successful countries is not seen. It is this ability to come forth and admit the ugliest and shameful that makes humans propel forward. I commend you for your time and sacrifice that you are doing, not just for the Russian nation, but for humanity as a whole. Please keep doing what you’re doing and rest assured that your videos inspire us (the other side of the world) to help everyone who is in this situation - guilty or not. We need to unite and help one another.
Thank you❤️
Russian brainwashing is very, very effective. A dear friend moved from Russia to Canada around 2008. We raised our daughters together, spent hours discussing politics as we watched our kids take swimming lessons, etc. Her pride in Russia is unshaken, despite having access to so much information. A few years before the war she could return to Russia. However, she decided to stay in Canada because her daughter needed extensive medical care. Deep down, she knew Canada was the better place to be. She is a good person, but her critical thought is somewhere else. We remain friends, but she pities my ignorance. If she represents most Russians, it will take generations for the culture to change. And perhaps it will be necessary for Russia to collapse into smaller countries for this to happen.
Do you not have American children in the States that could sponsor you into the US? Once in, you could then sponsor your family with Natasha. Sad as it is, this is the story of so many displaced people in the past. In fact, Radio Free Europe was effective after WW2 because so many displaced people wrote and spoke to the countrymen they left behind. Russia will need people like you to help it rebuild and reeducate.
You’re correct. It will take generations for these Russians to change that imperialistic, Soviet “brainwashed” mindset. The same for a Russian family living next door. Everyday they tell me they HATE America and Russia is the best, but they won’t leave.
Sad, and I have given a lot of thought about racism. That is the wrong term, and I am not sure what to call it, but I believe it comes from a time when survival of your own ethnic group gene-pool was paramount, anyone not from your village was an outsider and was to be run off or killed as a threat. That attitude is not so severe (yet) but is very much still present in us. Tourism is going to suffer for a while now.
@@donscheid97 We evolved in small groups. It started 10s of millions of years ago when you consider how our primate cousins behave. Our brains evolved along with our bodies. We are now neurologically predisposed to respond to the narratives we are born into. Mindlessly if we don't acknowledge our predisposition and act without thinking. Call it mythology, or cultural traditions, or even the memory of historical wrongs. But we are all hardwired to accept the stories of our group, the isms of the day. Scientists like Robert Sapolsky get into the details, if you're into that kind of stuff. He writes popular books and has made many of his university lectures available on RUclips. I hope our "instincts" don't lead us to greater war.
It is like that for Australia, but I do not know about America.
Gross. But the Western media plays its part by constantly getting played by the Kremlin. They given endless oxygen to their eyes due to both naiveté as well as their desire to appear perfectly neutral even at the cost of distorting the truth and confusing people.

With great sorrow I find your commentary wise and I have no choice but to agree.

We see the same thing what you are explaining here from the flip side. the reason for strict visa appliances is because we noticed that a lot of Russian who fled Russia became the worst propagandists in our country. I think coming in as a political refugee has options but apart from that its about the Kremlin's actions at this point
And yes the kremlin was targeting that hospital. I was watching a livestream by JohnnyFD who lives in Kyiv and went to the location to help put that they had to leave because they even wanted to double tap the location but the attack was stopped by air defenses. I'm also at a point I might sign up to assist the Dutch military to set up more defenses and prepare for the F16 operation and I'm 47 now. It's this serious I'm afraid
It's been a long time I've seen a Russian openly speak like you do and I thank you for it. Some Russian news is also operating from Amsterdam now. Many likeminded Russians seem to live here now
You are doing great Konstantin, go on and take care
Hi Konstantin. This was an interesting topic. As I see it, in the 90s and a bit into the 2000s, there was a great fear of huge immigration from Russia if visas were easy to get. And at the start there were also many criminals who came, which was of course not desirable. Many also feared the political direction Russia would take and therefore did not want Russian infiltrators into Europe or North America. Then came a period of good cooperation between the West and Russia, when the borders actually became almost completely open between Russians in North West Russia and Norway/Finland. Now there are actually many thousands of Russians living in Norway and Finland as a result of this close cooperation.
Today, there is a real fear that some of those who fled Russia in 2022 and 2023 may be infiltrators for the Russian intelligence (GRU). In particular, this fear is to be found within the western countries bordering Russia. A fear that is rooted in reality. We see that after 2 years of the Ukraine invasion, the Russian spy activity has increased sharply and the number of Russian people who are caught for such activity is increasing. There are relatively few in the Western world who do not understand that very many Russians come here for honest purposes and that these would be an enrichment for our communities. Many in the West hope that in the future we can have a more humanitarian approach to immigration from Russia, especially for those fleeing for political reasons. At the same time, those who come to the west must expect to be subject to the spotlight of Western intelligence for a long time. Best wishes to you and your family.
The passport is the least of the average Russians concern.
It was another self-pitying video, with more mock prayers. The videos are mostly about how terrible this war has proven for Russians and basically the money in their pocket, whether in Russia or elsewhere. Frankly, I don't care about that. We're told that sanctions have impoverished Russians. 30% don't have a passport, so around 40 million have a passport. In 2023, 9 million Russians went on holiday to Turkey, UAE and Thailand. Thats up 30-40% on 2022. So much for life getting tough back home.
I think what you’re feeling is the exact feeling the Germans felt right after WWII. I had the opportunity to talk to such individual a long time ago. The guilt of what his government & people did to others was unbearable, even if he wasn’t directly involved in it. That man passed away 15 years ago, but he told me he will hold onto that guilt until the day he died.
I hope you don’t feel the same. You’ve taken your action to tell the world & your government that you don’t agree with what Putin is doing, and sometimes, that’s the best you can do.
The best content about Russia and Ukraine hands down
About Russia, not Ukraine.
Your daughter was denied a US visa not because she's Russian, but because she doesn't currently reside in Russia. Immigration officers view people who left Russia, especially after 2022, as potential illegal immigrants with no strong ties to their home country, which is a requirement for non-immigrant visas. US immigration officers don't have anything against Russians, and the war doesn't concern them at all. It's just a calculated policy aimed at reducing the number of illegal immigrants and refugees entering the US. Russians who continue to live in Russia can still get a Schengen or even a US visa quite easily, regardless of whether they support the war or not. It's a different story for those who have left Russia for other countries. Once again, people who don't support Putin have to bear the burden of the war they didn't start and don't support, while wealthy Russians who continue to enjoy their lives in Moscow can still travel around the world quite easily. If this is not a total failure of Western policy regarding Russia, I don't know what is. And don't get me wrong, I don't think Russians who still live in Russia should be banned from international travel just because of that. I believe in everyone being innocent unless proven guilty. But it's unfair that they get to enjoy their lives while other people who are, on average, much more pro-Western always have to take the punishment for crimes they didn't commit.
Hi Konstantin, looong time watcher, but I rarely comment... Just wanted to say, hang in there. Always remember "This too shall pass", even when it seems impossible. I believe we are around the same age and I'm sure you remember the early 90's when it was just barely but very unlikely for Russians to travel to the US. With time it became easier and easier. It will happen again and your daughter will be able to come too, it's just a matter of the times we are living in, it's not forever and it will normalize again. I'm sure this is really hard for your kids here too, sending lots of love to you and your family! We see the good work you are doing and it DOES matter!
PS: I used to go to OOB Maine in the summers as a kid and went last yr w/ family (looove the Salt Water Taffy ), I'm a Vermonter so very nearby! Beautiful place and you will get to us in New England again!! ❤
Thank you, Jasmine ❤️
What would have happened if a million men and their families had protested instead of fleeing? But I think there was no potential for that because it appears many Russians fled because they did not want to fight, not because they opposed Russian aggression.
My working assumption is that there's much overlap between those 2 groups. If, for example, NATO and the US had invaded Russia, I suspect many of those people would want to stay and fight. Not everyone, of course. Towards the beginning of the war, I watched the media of a couple of people who stayed and protested, but I lost track after they were arrested, sentenced and imprisoned.
Also Putin throws people who stand against him in prison or sometimes he kills them. It's likely most of the Russians who left don't want to go to prison or die. It's very easy for us in America or Europe to say we would have stayed and stood against Putin no matter prison of death...but it's not true or realistic. The vast majority of people just want to keep their heads down and keep their families safe. The kind of people who stay and stand and fight are a rare breed in all of humanity not just Russia. It's one thing to sit safely in London for example and criticize these Russians for leaving Russia instead of staying to fight Putin... but you would have left to to save your family instead of fighting Putin too.
I sometimes wonder how many of the Russians that fled the country had supported the war, waved flags etc until they thought they might get mobilised
You have to understand that the vast majority of Russians don't care about politics in their own country, never mind the geopolitics of the world. The country is so vast that you can drive for weeks and never actually cross into another country. Moreover, Putin's deal with the population is basically 'stay out of politics and we'll stay out of your business' and since anyone involved with politics gets harassed and sometimes assassinated, they can see he means it. So most Russians either don't care or pretend they don't care, and of the ones that do care, at least half of them are out there cheering Putin on anyway. So there was never going to be a protest no matter who stayed. Russia has revolutions, not protests. And revolutions build slowly and then they happen all at once. To get a revolution that deposes Putin, there would have to be something significant that happens and that suddenly and unpredictably turns a large portion of the people toward politics. The last revolution had its conditions set by a humiliating war with Japan in which Russia sailed the Baltic Fleet to the Pacific where Japan promptly and easily destroyed it entirely. This got people wondering if the their government was competent. Then Tsar Nicolas started to get worried about his critics and began trying to repress dissent. Meanwhile people endured a quick decline in their standard of living, destroyed by shortages and high inflation thanks to WW1. Then the military essentially collapsed due to unrest in the ranks caused by their meat wave strategy. Finally, this one guy named Lenin started making a little noise and quickly that noise became the sound of crowds. And the rest is history. And now we can see that history is repeating itself with Putin. We just need to see Russian living standards decline a bit more and for the Army to finally revolt against the meat wave strategy to have a near perfect rhyme with 1917. If those two things happen, another Lenin will emerge and Putin will be dethroned. The scary thing about this is that we don't know if this new Lenin will be the sort that advocates rapprochement with the West, or one that wants the nukes to fly.
1 million more protesters wouldn't make a difference. Russia has over 3 million men in the police forces. Plus another million in the FSB and the national guard. So, the 1 million protesters would swiftly turn into 300k prisoners, 300k emigrated and 300k cannon fodder for the Ukraine front.
What you'd really need is either a 10-20 million strong peaceful uprising or about 10-15 percent of the adult population. That is not realistic, given the extent of the government propaganda for the past 24 years. Or a smaller, more professional force that skips the whole protest phase (didn't work in Russia before in 2011, 2018, didn't work in Belarus 2020, and is not working in Georgia at the moment). You'd need a very capable force that proceeds straight to what the Soviets called "active measures". Probably 50,000 for Moscow, 10,000 for St Petersburg and a thousand or so for smaller centers. It'd get really nasty. I don't think that is realistic either.
So the change has to come from the Ukraine battlefield.
Russia was eager to make certain the nuclear silos it had put into Ukraine under the Soviet System were removed when the Soviet system collapsed.
The Soviet head honchos under the USSR were pleased it had placed nuclear missiles in a satellite country, so that country would be attacked first during the cold war rather than Moscow.
Plus the newly freed Russians openly acknowledged they did not want Ukraine, as an independent country, to possess nuclear warheads which they could use against Russia to deter Russian agression.
In exchange for Ukraine giving up the nuclear arms, a defensive asset of considerable value to Ukraine, Russia promised - openly, heartily and willingly - to Ukraine and to the world, they would never invade Ukraine. The "Ukraine" Russia referred to included Crimea and the eastern sections of Ukraine - famous now as the area of war invaded by "little green men".
No one in the rest of the world has forgotten this promise to Ukraine AND to the world, including Europe and the US.
Putin has now wickedly and openly broken, to the great dishonor of the Russian people, the promise that was made in the name of the Russian people.
Russia's people have to ask themselves what they want as a future country. There are millions of People across the globe who understand we cannot have war in this modern world. We must have other ways of confronting self-serving agression other than constantly going to military force. Sanctioning a country might cause hardship and anxiety but life for millions is not blown to smithereens by sanctions. Bothersome sanctions do not kill millions of humans, plants, fish, animals. War does.
Citizens get what they demand. All powerful people want to stay in power even though they do not deserve it. No where is this more obvious than in government.
Russians, decide where the authority to govern YOU comes from. Ask this question: Who has the right to ordain , establish, institute governing power over YOU. Is it a Czar? Is it a religion? Is it a single person or a group of people or is it the governed themselves? The answer for everyone who wants to stymie dictators has to be: The Governed.
The catch is this: If it is the governed that hold the ultimate authority, the governed must know how to execute that authority. There are always people who will offer many "golden gifts" if only they were given power (authority) to rule.
Russia, make no mistake about how hard it is to design, implement, defend, renew, correct, reward a functioning democracy. It is a skill, an art, a purpose for living, a whole lot of work, often a costly endeavor, a threat to others and a blessing so worth it, many have died in its pursuit.
Thank you Konstantin, for your very important contribution giving insight to what is happening inside Russia. Even as a Russian, your knowledge of individual persons and conditions in Russia is impressive. However, when it comes to Norway, closing its border to Russians, it is not that straight forward as you indicated. Norway did this after Finland had done the same. We were scared that all of those by the Finnish border would come up north and cross into Finnmark. Finnmark has few inhabitants and could not handle large numbers of immigrants. There were certainly other reasons also. The following text from a Finnish person on this tread explains what actually was the situation: "......... Russia kept sending immigrant waves (organized by authorities) over the border". I am uncertain whether Finland has opened their borders again. I don't think so.
Otherwise, I am surprised by the behavior of the numerous Russians in Norway, and in other countries with Russians. Given the situation I would expect protests from local Russians in front of the Russian embassy, against the illegal invasion and war. I can't recall having heard of or seen any of that. On the contrary, on social media, many of the Russians I know of seem to be of the opinion that Putin had just cause to invade Ukraine. How about the "Breakfast club" - has that stood protesting in front of the Russian embassy in Uzbekistan? I am sure that you are aware that there are reasons restaurant owners put up signs on their doors "Russians not welcome" in several countries. Well, I guess I have said enough. However, I certainly think you hold a high standard. Keep safe.
Please keep doing what you doing Konstantine. You are my window of reason and facts into the daily madness. I know many people who follow your channel and rely on your insights to combat the propaganda. Thank you! 🙌
I can respect the fact that you take responsibility, I agree with you fully. Obviously, I view you as being better than those that stayed behind, at least you are aware and did something about it now, yes it is too late, but better late than never!
You speak out against Russia and I can appreciate that too...
Not all could afford to leave, but Russians that have remained for the most part strongly support Putin and their government and they cannot be trusted. Konstantin was out as early as possible as he could see the truth about his country and that what Russia was and is doing is truly horrific. He’s never made excuses for Russias behavior. These people should not have to suffer or be judged for the sins of Putin. Konstantin is not a mad dog and should not feel guilt that their president became a madman. The only thing I will say is that Russians should have seen this happening in 2014, but even the West did not take that seriously enough.
@@teresas8173 - Of course he should, as he rightfully pointed out, he was complicit in enabling Putin, whether it was intentional or not. This isn't the first time Putin did something like this, now is it! Not the first time Russia has done something like this, they have a long history of it!
Even if you're not directly involved it's normal and right to feel a level of guilt about that. He also understands that this has a knock on effect with his ability to travel now. But also understands it's not a hatred towards Russians as a whole, like when he explained to the border guard in Israel his views and situation, he was let through.
I think he understands the situation very well and I think he hit the nail on the head.
If you could not afford to go, the least you could do then is protest and/or refuse to go! Yes, it means you might be beaten, might be sent to prison or even killed... But those people I can also respect, even more so than Konstantin.
@@teresas8173 - TheirTube is deleting my comments again, as usual, pathetic platform, so I'll need to break it up, so I can even have a hint at what their problem is!

this reminds me of how many old Soviet contacts I had in the early 1990's at U of Toronto, Latvians, Estonians and Russians alltogether and pretty positive, then in the late 1990's with again lots of old Soviet contacts, at another school in Texas, the mood was so positive towards a bright future cooperating with Russia - I remted an apartment from a "Russian missionary from Novasibeirsk"and yet my apartment mate cautioned us about being too rosy towards Russia and now he seems to have been spot on - interestingly he now lives at the north end of the main island of Japan and he is well aware of both the north Korean and Russian threats. As a person who has never really travelle much I frequently underestimate the trepidation that so many migrants face even though I have had connections with illegals and refugees etc. and thinking about how easy it is to get into the USA, Canada here remains one of your greatest sources of illegal migrants, no kidding look it up if you don't believe me, those green cards are difficult to acquire and lots of people and companies take short cuts for sure.
Konstantin lives in the city of Tashkent, just on the Russian border. Tashkent is in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan (old soviet republic) is a CLOSE friend with Russia. President of undemocratic Uzbekistan have friendly meetings with Putin (and Orban from Hungary). There are political prisoners in this country.
How is it possible that Konstantin can freely do anti Russia talks in a country like Uzbekistan , without FSB allowing it? It would be so easy for the Russians to kill Konstantin, if they wanted to do this.
More questions:
- how an average Russian without dark connections & money could get a US visa in the 90'? There were Thousands of homeless children living on Moscow streets, sniffing glue, doing prostitution ect., those days.
- how come, he had a successful business in energy sector, without close connection to FSB?
@@user-pd7ud8kr6q You think, when you repeat your nonsense on and on, we would believe it? We don't fall for RuZZian propaganda!
Yes. Konstantin. The immigration process is very complicated. It took 17 years to bring my sister-in-law going the completely legal route.
It is very difficult and complex.
What happened now to russia must be a lesson to every country that starting the war will have a worst consequences .listen. Iran, china , north korea this is a wake up call to all of you.thank you konstantin for your work god bless u and your family
I was thinking how good it was for you and your friends and family being alllowed in Uzbekistan, till you said how difficult it may be to get your passport renewed. Hope you all will be blessed, not cursed, and be accepted..🙏
Blessed? Should Russia's crimes against humanity go unpunished again? Nothing learned?
@@henriikkak2091 NO russia should not be forgiven. But, not all russians believe that what their government is doing is right. You can't condemn all for the sins of others.
@@Ceba-pw8hkmany in Germany and Japan believed in their country during WWII but eventually after a couple of generations many were forgiven. The thing is can they show remorse and forgive themselves?
The Norwegian ban on Russians is due to several incidents, one being Russia flooding the RU/NOR border up north with immigrants. Amongst said immigrants, there were people "hired" by SVR RF, promised money and/or citizenship for information, pictures and the like.
They were sent over the border in Finnmark, "Storskog" riding bicycles during winter. - This was in '15.
Since then we've had several incidents with Russian citizens coming over, taking pictures and gathering intel. (also post UA invasion)
Funnily enough, it's not just been one sided, a Norwegian citizen was in '17 condemned for spying and spent a couple of years in Lefortovo before being sent home in an exchange with Lithuania in '19.
Do you think putin is a mad man ?,????...GOD BLESS YOU FROM THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 🇮🇪 🙏
You are a beautiful person. Thank you so much for what you do. You are HOPE...
Dear Konstantin don't let this get you down.I support you and your team 100% you are doing great work and your news and points of view I love/like!!! I send you a smile from my heart ❤️ Michael
Has the Tashkent Breakfast Club done anything to raise funds for Ukraine? It occurred to me today that there's a lot of talk on social media, but action...?
I think they already have their own problems. Some of them might. It's not your concern. They aren't responsible for Putin's bad deeds. We've to uphold our own values. I support Ukraine since the problems in the Donbass and the airplane incident. Still, I've some Russian friends. No friends of Putin.
@@elkiebeerepoot5829 I wasn't criticizing so much as legitimately wondering...outside of 1420 there hasn't been a lot of info about the true leanings of the Russian public. I suspect this will become a bigger deal over the next few months than it has been.
@@elkiebeerepoot5829 They find time to go on holiday to Dubai and Israel.
I admire your humility about your responsibility/guilt for the current horrible situation and your feeling that you should have done more, however this flies in the face of the people like Navalny who tried but died. It really would have taken so much more support from the regular people to change anything. And people know that protest usually ends up with jail and/or death. There were large protests in the bigger cities right after Russia invaded Ukraine. What happened then? Please don't carry the weight of your fellow countrymen's failures on your shoulders alone.
By Russian inaction, by Russians who disagreed with the vertical of power leaving, the first cohort to leave is ALWAYS the rich and powerful before things go against people. My granny fled the Bolsheviks, I now understand why, and how she did it with only the clothes on her back, unable to speak English she stowed aboard a swedish merchant ship, god only knows how, shinning up the anchor chain, sleeping in a lifeboat?? She was 17 years old and scared, I can only imagine how Russians feel, but she had nothing to lose, only her life if she stayed, her personality was awesome, but I had no idea how she survived to get to Liverpool, just before WW2, I like her to a butterfly, she flew away to a sunnier garden, she died when I was five, but I cry hearing how Russians like her are being treated, RIP XXX
Thank you! From New York State USA. Great job!
Greetings from Finland. The closed border hurts us too. But what else can we do, as Russia kept sending immigrant waves (organized by authorities) over the border. We would love to have the old co-operation, tourists, visitors, music groups visiting over both ways... but it takes long. At the moment Russia is spreading propaganda of us, constantly telling lies and turning the public opinion 180 degrees. We used to be friends, now we are called with all kind of names...
Russias fast becoming an Island.
Shouldn't the Russian government be happy to see the opposition leaving? If I was a dictator I would love to see people who strongly disagree leave and stay away.
Yes, it's difficult to be a Russian immigrant right now. I have a number of friends, who got out of Russia some years ago and several recent ones who we're helping settle in. They're carrying the "scarlet letter," a Russian Passport and emotionally a lot of guilt too. Your problem with Israeli Border Security probably boils down to the historical poor treatment of Russian Jews in Russia, goes back 100's of years. If you had been a Russian Jew fleeing Russia for Israel, the reception would have been more welcoming.
Keep doing this K
You doing a good job for your people letting us know god bless you from ukxx

Countries have rules about allowing people in to work. That's not easy for anyone especially if they think you're trying to escape your country with no plan to return.

After the Federation of Fear collapses russian passports will cease to exist .
How the world will cope with this anybodies guess but after the actions of putin's sleeper agents and putin sympathisers I would imagine holding a russian passport will be worth nothing and expatriate russian will either have to go back to the Federation of Fear or become stateless and apply for citizenship of the country they reside in .
Remember you are in the minority of ex-patriate russians.
I have 3 friends who have russian ( or belarusan ) origins
Most have been in Australia for over 60 years but all of them identify with putin, believe putin is in the absolute right and Ukraine has no right to exist .
I have been to an Australia -Russia friendship society function and again at least several hundred people there all believe the war is Ukraine's fault , American provoked and they were holding charity drives to buy support supplies for the russian soldiers .
So will people like this be welcome in any country ?
as far as who is to blame , yes the russian population has some burden of responsibility
However the real criminals are the Western shareholders of the Western companies who raced into russia to shove their piggy noses in the profit trough and suck as much up as possible .
And you should know this because you were involved in that pig sty .
No one said boo to putin because all they wanted was the cash so they ignored all of the tell tale signs of putin turning the fledgling democracy into a dictatorship.
No one gave a tinkers curse just so long as they could stand up at the Annual General meetings and announce record profits every year .
Only yesterday a belarusian tried to set the Royal castle in Oslo ablaze. For what?? Norway has a very small population. It pose no threat to Ruzzia or Belarus in any way. I did my military service 40 years ago. During the cold war. We were forbidden to say Russia was the potential aggressor. ,,, but we all knew. Russia was invited to join the western way of life. In all matters. The west spent billions to access Russia. And what happened? Oh boy; we are very naive in the west. So do not be disappointed in the west. We are unable to filter the real Russian refugees from the Russian Spies and terrorists. And apparently there are plenty of them. Russia has to figure this out themselves. Sorry; we can't do because most Russians had decided to follow the path of share evil.
Best reply.

Dear Konstantin, greetings from the U.K. This is not your fault! Any nation is vulnerable to a fall into tyranny, we all have 20/20 hindsight. All citizens can be complacent in the face of evil dictators, you often use the phrase ‘boiling the frog’. This transition happened slowly, step by step, there was no single moment of transition, it was drip, drip, drip. Blessings to you and your loved ones.
We are facing this in the US. Our children will curse us for allowing the rise of Christian nationalism.
It is not about you who fled the war, it is about keeping people representing Russian state that want to hurt us out. No simple way to know the difference and then innocent people are affected too.
I am a child of the cold war. During the Cuban missile crisis, my Mother(who went through WWII) made sure we had a supply of food. Forgive me if I believe the stereotype of Russian people is that of loud, cruel and drunken and just plain mean and aggressive. I am sorry that your family is going through this, but there is a great cultural divide.

Wondering if things would be any different if the million or so that left Russia, stayed and fought against the regime?
Good question. I tried
Yes this things would be different. They would be expunged.
Who knows but realistically at that point it probably was too late. The real defeat was a slow process of Russians being too complacent and giving Putin that much power. Voting with your feet is a legitimate form of political protest.
Yeah.... I wonder about this too, but I don't blame those who got out for making that move.
The system in Russia has been deliberately set up to prevent any uprising. There are informants everywhere, you never know whom you can trust, there are honeypot groups set up to catch potential opposition, and a harsh punishment.
I think Konstantin is wrong about the Visas. During the Soviet times no-one trusted Russia or Russians. If a Russian travelled abroad it was usually believed it was because it was to do something bad like to be a spy or even to kill someone for the Kremlin.
When the USSR fell apart it took time for that distrust to improve. In the early 90s the large number of Russian criminals did not help. The issuing of visas had very little to do with money.
As time went on trust improved and it became easier for russians to travel.
Since Russia started its land grab war and especially since Russia targeted civilians in Ukraine all trust in Russia and Russians has been lost.
Russia has proved again that it can NEVER be trusted.
it has way more years of mutual trust with the outside, so I don't think your argument is valid.

@@user-pd7ud8kr6q You posted your concern more than enough times. You wrote: "Konstantin lives in the city of Tashkent, just on the Russian border." WHAT MAP ARE YOU LOOKING AT? Look again. It's more than 1500 Km away. Also, you should be aware that Russia's influence in Uzbekistan has weakened considerably due to the Russian attack on Ukraine, and Konstantin's channel is only one example of rising anti-Russian sentiment within Uzbekistan.
I know of one family who hired a foreign company to help get a visa, but it was just a scam to take their money. It is very disheartening to find that as governments get larger (beyond a village or town size council and mayor), they care less and less about their own people and more about how much power they have and how much money they can get.
QUESTION how will the russians that left the country change their russian passports when they expire( obviously russian passports are given by the russian state you will just go to the russian embassy for new passports?
I was wondering that, too.
Most may very well claim refugee status on assumption of persecution upon returning.
It's done on line per Nikki Proshin who was able to renew his from Thailand
It is possible to request it in an embassy. There may be challenges, but it has been possible so far.
Go to the Embassy in the country you live in.
Thanks for sharing how you're feelings with us tonight. You have done so much for Ukraine, for the Breakfast Club, your family. We ALL appreciate you so much, we love you for you. Brighter days will come soon, ✨️
It’s very sad man, thank you for the updates.take care of your self 😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤
Lots of love and support for all of you trying to survive in such difficult times.
You should be able to show you work online to prove that you are not a "normal" Russian who just quietly accept the criminal doing of Russia,
to get access to western countries for you and your family.
Your work against the insanity is so important and would clear any suspicion of you being part of the dangerous part of Russia.
My thoughts is that US & Western counties dont want to import "Russian values" and most will have an impossible task to prove that they dont are supporting the "Russian world" but you can.
I wish you and your family the best.
Konstantin lives in the city of Tashkent, just on the Russian border. Tashkent is in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan (old soviet republic) is a CLOSE friend with Russia. President of undemocratic Uzbekistan have friendly meetings with Putin (and Orban from Hungary). There are political prisoners in this country.
How is it possible that Konstantin can freely do anti Russia talks in a country like Uzbekistan , without FSB allowing it? It would be so easy for the Russians to kill Konstantin, if they wanted to do this.
