  • In this episode we have met Russian Old Believers who managed to escape from the Soviet Union after the October Revolution. Now they live in the middle of Brazil. Unlike farmers who live in Russia and grow cabbage, the Brazilian Old Believers grow avocados, corn, soybeans
    Many of these Old Believers want to return back to Russia, begin a new life in the Russian Far East.
    Our team went to Brazil to visit the people who left their motherland a hundred years ago. However, it turned out they are those few people who still live in the old Russia which was irrevocably lost after the October Revolution.

    Brazil isn't perfect, but man... i love this country, i love how all the different ethinicity live in harmony, Portugueses, Spanish, Japaneses, Koreans, Lebaneses, Germans, Afrikans, Italians, Ukranians, it's like he said in the end, it's almost like a mythical place, where everyone respects your religion and cultures, but also blends in to form another type of cultures. Amazing, i would not advise the Russians to go back to the Motherland, because Brazil is indeed a true Motherland ambracing all people.

Because Russia is the Christian, Byzantine name of the Baptism of ancient Rus, starting from the year of Baptism in 988 (A term adopted by all Christian churches in subsequent times of history)! Russian people and this Russian land were renamed by the Communists to Ukraine during the USSR years - not a Christian term!

    Russia has been going through profound changes since the end of Soviet Communism, including new respect for religion. Even Putin had a conversion experience and became a believer and built or. rebuilt 60K churches. So, in theory is it possible for the Old Believers to re-integrate in the new Russia, but outsiders do not know the reality.

    Well, the land is Brazil not Russia as the presenter seem to believe. The families came from Russia but now they are Brazilian nationals - as every person born in this country. So, if some want to return to Russia, fine. I hope they are as much (or even more) successful there as they were here owning their land, cars, planes, trucks, harvesters, tractors and being free to live according to their traditions. They do not make a fuss about themselves and this is great. And BTW, this is real Brazil not Rio de Janeiro. The countryside generates most of Brazil's income. Foreigners - as the journalist - have no clue about it so then comes the surprise when they venture inland. .
    Nice to see one of the families eating rice, black beans and "chuchu" (arroz, feijão e chuchu) - staples of the Brazilian diet that everyone will see all over this vast country!

    About going to Russia
    I hope they bring beatifull lifestyle with them to Russia.
    I trust the Lord
    To be with them
    When they are in Russia.
    Their children should be soldier in army.
    When I visited Russia in year 99. Mothers had fear because children in army had so hard time. Could even die.
    Now even fight in the war
    And culture of goverment and even othodox church is stronger then ever in surpressing.
    I pray walking with the Lord
    Will be spread in the lifes of them and them around them.
    And together with culture
    Living live with Christ
    Let that be the way they follow.
    I was there 2,5 months in year 1999 and was welcome in so many families. Met so nice people in Russia.
    I pray this russian brasilian people bring hope and future to Russia.
    And strength and inspiration
    And above all connection to the Lord.
    Then they invite us
    to fill a big hole
    in beautifull souls
    Holes in life of fellow Russians and also me in my life
    overthere and everywhere
    Where we lack purpose future and trust and knowing about eternity
    In train between irkutk and wladiwostock
    I met some soldiers from special forces. Some young man from far east and one bit older. Going to tsjetsjeni.
    We shared stories The oldest young man looked odd
    The young ones said' he sees the horrors he did in his glass"
    I asked do you look also like him when you come back.
    Sometimes I pray for the young soldiers. Now around 50 years.
    How are their lives now.
    Later I noticed most other people keeping distance from them.
    Only one old woman invited one soldier with them to listen to my stories. This young soldier slept between them in our 3,th class wagon.
    That s why I met this group.
    And I just listen and gave no judgment. Just because I was that way in my youth. I accepted him as a person. And shared his feeling of disgust of his own deeds.
    I got his cap when they got out of the train. So special gift.
    the value of life and basic needs for the normal people is so under thread there
    But then they share with me
    So many people give me a place to stay
    Wunderfull
    I slept one night in Hotel ( that was bad experience) further I was invited in homes.
    I see beautifull nature and big polution in other places. The amall villages with farms most very poor. I understand they invite this brasilian russians.
    I pray for the Russian people and the soldiers and all who I met
    Let their life conditions and goverment be turned upside
    That the endless endless space will be filled with villages and agriculture and happy faces.
    Let the Lord guide us
    Also in living with the changes the climate brings us. It is important to farm this endless lands and take care of the soil in a good way.

      My perception is the contrary. My Italian community simply does not exist, there is no "Italian" in Brazil, you're simply Brazilian. I don't know if it is because Italians have too much of a compatibility with the brazilian culture or is it because our community is just way too big to the point of not being noticeable.
      I've never traveled to the US but as far as i know, they indeed have a clear split of identity. It seems to be that there is an actual italian community there. Exactly the opposite we see with this Russian community.

    They should go back if they can. Russian Jews are a huge percentage in Israel already. Brazil can hoist the Red Star too in Brasilia, as their politics have shown. You were excluded from their core spiritual life so you could only observe and speak of their exterior cultural and materialist aspects. They will possibly form the nucleus of a revived Russian culture but most importantly a new spiritual Russian man in Christ, Yeshua the Messiah. That is my dream for them in the coming Millennium. Russia on its present course dictated from Moscow will self-destruct. You asked. I answered. Take it or leave it. The great Russian classic novelists I read at 19, not to mention music, art, architecture, created a love of Russia in me as a youth, her people and lands of almost endless variety meant more to me than this spirit-devouring land and ungodly, materialist culture I was taken to as a baby. I have been unable to leave. Nlw I am 81. They still can!
