Hi! I just discovered your channel and it is interesting how you see things. Greetings from Chile. Ps: I love Russian culture and I learnt some things about it with you, thanks.
You're right. Up until 1991 it was the same country, at least technically, so all the infrastructures, architecture and pretty much all the rest was same or very similar.
"Meg" is voiced by actress Mila Kunis, who speaks Russian because she is native Ukrainian, after two decades of telling everyone she was Russian. 🪆 But anyways, great reactions, dude/comrade! 👍
Maybe Ukrainian and Russian languages and cultures have some history in common...??? Do you know anything at all about history? The recent war has also affected this....
@@johnhyth7646 Mila started doing Meg's voice after another lady had for 1st & 2nd seasons, & when Fam Guy got back on Fox after being cancelled, Kunis was hired.✌️
Truly i do not know what to say, i have russians friends who live in Russia, and it is not like that maybe some things yes, like you mentioned, i do not come and live in Russia because for me its a bit cold, i like warmer places, but i would like to visit one day 😊 thank you for your videos 😊
As always thank you for your feedback 🙂 And yes, surely it is not all like that, some thing are a bit exaggerated, and some are just a parody, and also much would depend on one's personal experience.
I guess any country has such kind of places. It's just that in Russia it is all over the place. Some are due to the loss of ex-Soviet industry, some are due to unstable economy of the region in modern days.
Just out of curiosity, why do you say comrade at the beginning of your videos? I only ask because the only association I have with the word and Russia is the Soviets. Is it a reference to that (like a joke) or does the word have a different association now?
Exactly as you said, it's like a reference to the Soviets, as most westerners would associate me with it anyways. Besides, for me it's a way to diversify the more common greetings, and kinda create my own little thing to help people remember me better.
@@oldb0y79 Absolutely fits the Soviet meme, but it's also just a word for companion. Since it's fascinating, all the origins actually describe a room-mate / domestic partner. "one who shares the same room," hence "a close companion," from French camarade (16c.), from Spanish camarada "chamber mate," or Italian camerata "a partner," from Latin camera "vaulted room, chamber". And on the etymology(этимология - Hopefully that google translates well, as I know you have great English understanding, but it's an uncommon word) website, it mentions the reasoning for comrade used by communists was to for-go prefixes like "mister" or "miss". edit to add - It's essential a very progressive gender neutral prefix, which is surprising for it to come from Russia (that may be my media biases at work there, I apologise), but I guess it's easy to distinguish gender by the surname anyway, with all the ovich's and ovna's
@@its-aydonus6842 you are absolutely right, great insight, your knowledge is impressive! As far as I know, communists did really introduce this word as an alternative to "misseur" and "madame", taken from French and used during the later imperial era in Russia. At the same time it was supposed to symbolize companionship and connection between common people. However formally another term "citizen" was more preferable in official matters.
@@oldb0y79 Citizen is a great word, I think it is used weirdly as even the police would technically be citizens(as it is just, resident of the area), I guess it also makes the job easier. "I am not working as a citizen, but as an arm of the government. This is not me, it is my official duties", so the police do not get recognition as a citizen while carrying out their tasks. Either way, fantastic reaction comrade. (I am one to joke about the soviet comrade at home as well, but now that I know it's origins, it has a slight romantacism to the word)
4:57 Я вижу "колонку", из которой в советские времена качали воду (в деревнях они и по сей день ещё остались и даже работают, правда подключены они к водонапорным башням и качать воду не нужно - просто нажать на рычаг, чтобы открыть клапан), но зачем нужна бадья рядом с ней? Она напоминает мне о похожих ёмкостях для воды, которые устанавливали на входе в здание, чтобы мыть грязную обувь. В любом случае, мне кажется в этом кадре смешали эти две вещи по незнанию. Только что дошло, что эта бадья для стирки и/или полоскания вещей. Возможно. :)
Ну да, типичная колонка. Корыто сбоку может ещё предназначаться для питья скотины, но, в любом случае, думаю, тут американцы по незнанию её прилепили, для пущего колорита. Хотя кто его знает...
I just thought about something. Let's assume aliens are real and I wonder if and when they find the space dogs if they think the dogs are like rocket scientists and if they come to earth if they would ignore humans and try talking to the dogs. What do you know about space "woof" it must be some kind of encrypted speech😂 idk I just feel like if we went to Mars and found animals in space suits sealed in a spacecraft I would think that animal was super intelligent.
We do value those things, however our younger generations are getting more and more westernized, with more focus on individualism and money. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just an evolution of things. As for our height - hard to say...I am 6 feet tall and I am considered average in Russia.
Not really. But your guess was cool. HK stands for Hong Kong and 86 stands for 66666666, which in their culture means the biggest degree of coolness, and is just a lucky number. Many street racers in Hong Kong and Canton would use this plate for city runs instead of their real plates (anyways if police gets, whatever plate you have - you're in trouble), both bikes and cars BTW.
@@oldb0y79 I see, I figured with the Japanese theme of items around it I thought it was a good guess lol. Interesting to hear about the Hong Kong stuff!
@@burakoshimazaki Yep, you were close. And I admire your ability to observe. I like Asian style in general, that's why there are so many Japanese and Chinese references in my decoration.

The city for this episode of Family guy is supposed to be in Chelyabinsk. Maybe that's why you see so much industrial areas.
Oh, that makes sense😉
I love watching because I also learn stuff about Russia

Welcome to the channel! 😁
Believe me I was in Uzbekistan and i can vouch they also got a lot of these…..soviet Russia effect I guess

That girl needs her own spin-off show from family guy for sure😐
Absolutely. Meg is so underrated. She could do a better spin off not worse than Cleveland if not better 👍

@@oldb0y79 it is true, i agree with you, i think every country has its good and bad things, i believe we should respect everyone 😊🙏
you can find places here in the states like that. mostly in areas that lost factories and have started to shrink in population
I guess any country has such kind of places. It's just that in Russia it is all over the place. Some are due to the loss of ex-Soviet industry, some are due to unstable economy of the region in modern days.
I prefer bare ground here in America so much water is wasted on people’s lawns instead of growing actual food plants
well said cheers from scotland
Hehe cheers from Russia😉
I learned aa new Russian word the other day.....(Buhanka).
That's a good one, can have multiple meanings, one is a bun as in a bun of bread, one is a name of an old model of one Russian car.
@@oldb0y79 I thought it was an old van.
I want to see your reaction to when Meg gets her Russian husband arrested
Eventually I will do a reaction to that whole episode

Hahahahaha I like your way of thinking 🤣🤣🤣
i always thought on the Russians are they value family tradition religion and most of all very Tall maybe same or taller than yao ming

Is Russia Rice people or Potato people?
Definitely potato! And freshly baked bread!😏
I noticed your number plate AE-86. Are you a fan of drifting, Tsuchiya Keiichi, or the 86 platform (old or new) in general?
