Life in rural Russia six months after sanctions | With Lars

- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2024
- Let's see if the unprecedented Western sanction against Russia had any economic impact on the lives of everyday Russians in the countryside! Check out this video I made together with Lars from @SurvivalRussia. Lars is a Dane who moved to Russia over a decade ago and settled in a small village in one of Russia’s poorest regions. He knows this country better than many people.

When I arrived in a Russian village in the Arkhangelsk region, I realized that if there was an apocalypse in big cities from the disconnection of electricity, then these guys (residents) would always survive! They have their own cattle, their own poultry, eggs, milk, potatoes, and so on!
Interestingly enough, that exact thought came across my mind when I was visiting this village where Lars lives. It certainly lacks city comforts and it’s very unlikely I would want to move to the countryside anytime soon, but their survival skills are something else
Russia is big enough and widespread in so many ways that it can be treated as an independent country.
It can be expected to make its own alliances. Doing that by force however, is not an option while it is so close to the European Union.
@@myparceltape1169 EU is caput.
Какие прекрасные слова! Труд человека, нас делает людьми! Пусть Вас бережёт Всевышний!
Зачем писать по английски? Если канал российский. Просто парень косит под американца.
😂😂😂😂, at the end construction business owner gave very nice comment. “Putin promised to drop the prices and he delivered “😂😂😂
It's a great honour to live with such strong and positive people in one country, i do! The best is yet to come
Thank you, comrade. Russia will prevail!
"Sanctions are a lame excuse for those who don't want to work" absolutely marvelous statement. Hard times create strong people.
Well done Kostya. It's weird watching a video with me in it, which I have not edited myself. Great job to all involved.
Thank you, Lars! Really glad you liked it. It was pleasure filming you and your friends 👍
I followed you Lars as you asked.
You LIED to us Lars, your Mother In Law is NOT a Dragon, she actually looks like a very nice LADY. 😉
great video Lar's.... it was Awesome 😆 keep the videos coming. i also subscribed to Zhenya's channel 👍
You looked so rugged.. But still the ninjas and your beautiful wife got a bit more exposure.. We always love to see them now and then.. You are a great inspiration to me, at 70 I view the world as going to hell in a hand basket.. But you show me that there are still men and women all over this world that can still do what is right and be decent hard working folk survive and smile.. thanks brother..
I swear the environment reminds me of West Virginia or Kentucky or maybe Oklahoma 🤔 very beautiful crazy how similar Russia and America can be. The people as well just ordinary country people loving the country life. Shout out to all you Country boys out there no matter what country ☺️ much love from Florida lol
Totally agree! Strangely enough, the two countries are much alike. And yet we’ve come to this. Sad
P.S. Love Florida! Spent a summer in Panama City beach back in 2008, had a lot of fun
@@RealReporter Florida is nice but I do miss the 4 seasons up north especially during autumn season and Christmas season. Pumpkin spice weather some say. Something about it just feels at home sort of speak. And then Snow and eggnog lol
You're so right. Ordinary people have nothing to share. All conflicts are caused by so called "elites", who play their games.
You should visit Rota, Spain. It literally mirrors old Florida.
The blood is the same color in our veins brother. We just got to stop hating and start knowing each other. You'll be amazed how much you have in common with the plain Muslim, a communists, and others.
Смотря подобные репортажи я чувствую неописуемую гордость и воодушевление. Не смотря на все трудности и тяготы, люди живущие в самой прекрасной стране всегда найдут выход.
😅😅😅
As Russian, I am shocked by the quality of the roads in this area and generally all over the country. Really, it was absolutely unimaginable before holy sanctions time.
If this is Russias poor comunity then it still looks much better than some of the poorer comunities in the U.S.
U can move to Russia
looking a lot better than detroit lol
No any homeless tents.
Can confirm this is much nicer than a lot of places I’ve seen in Alabama
Russia has not suffered much. Now the pipelines sabotage this will definitely hurt them and all of Europe.
Well documented, rural people are like all people in the country regions around the world, they are very resilient and innovative.
This is true
That's what I'm supposed to be doing
Rural areas contribute vet little to innovation
If this was America people would be rioting…whinging and whining…and some weirdo probably even justify doing another school mass shooting…we do it even if gasoline prices go up 10cents a gallon…or our cell phone service goes out for a couple of hours…gotta hand it to the Russian people…they just smile and adapt and get on with it…God Bless
I'd add to that, most people in Russia are like people in the rest of the world, not only the outskirts xD We have our geniouses and businessmen, and we got our fools and crying babies.
Very nice documetary i knew the people of Russia are hard working and always patriotic no matter what! Slavic Brothers!The Balkan is with you!
very beautiful area and people, reminds me of rural Kentucky near where i live now. Be interested to see another video if possible for middle of a large city
Will do! Thanks for the feedback
In fact, I’m working on the second video from the same village that I shot six months later. Stay tuned for this one 👍
Good job Real Reporter, Lars and the guys are "super awesome" haha. Greetings from Portugal.
Seeing Lars in a different context is a treat. The feel of this video is very different from what I get when i watch his channel
First time viewer of this channel and life of ordinary people on the other side. I can't say it's truly objective, how can it be? I can say it's thought provoking, reflective and eye opening for me. Thanks for sharing and god bless
100 years of propaganda doesn't change your mind overnight.
@@billiosi7448 You've in a closed system since 1917, not I. You needed to go to Moscow to get a permit to travel abroad, not I. You're the one with only access to government propaganda broadcast, not I. Yet, you have the audacity to say I live in a totalitarian regime!?
Slava Russia Forever, from Canadian friends!🥰🥰🥰
OK, I'm just a girl living in this village. Today we were told about this video in class. It's just great! I am very grateful to you!
11:06 it's so unusual to see a native it's so unusual to see a native Магнит in a RUclips video...
12:09 many of my relatives and the parents of my friends have worked here before. I remember what wonderful buns with cheese and garlic were here....😥I'm in a lot of pain.
13:24 typical grandmothers. how unflappable are the people around, I would be surprised.

Watching this without subtitles, I can improve my English :)
P.S. I use a translator👋
Hey there! I’m glad you liked the video. I really enjoyed my time in your village, people there were very nice and hospitable. Your English is very good, keep up the good work! Молодец 👏
What discussions take place in school regarding the situation in Ukraine?
It's the KGB, open up!!
I am a nurse man living in Girona, in Spain. I love Russia because my grandfather told me how russian soldiers helped in the spain war against fascism. and I hope the best for Russia and I wish Europe realized we are brothers
@@gorallogaia Russians and Spaniards are not brothers. Russians and Ukrainians are brothers. Makes the whole war even more screwed up
What's interesting to me is that rural people from Russia feel very similar to rural people in the US. I think we have much more in common with them than we do with people in our cities. Really impressed with their spirit of self reliance. Most governments tend to have crappy leadership, but it's not always a true reflection of its people. Wishing for peace in Russia/Ukraine.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin They don't value that privilege anymore. They forgot how it feels like.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin or here (the southeast US), you might get hate crimed for speaking the wrong way in tr-mp kinds of towns.
Yeah no we’re not. Those ppl are Nazi, psychos.. They hate us and they are for the war.. don’t be ignorant.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin not the only difference between us and Orcs.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin at least they don't have meth there.
Those farmes seem like really fine guys. I hope everything turns out for the better soon for everyone in Russia as well as in Western Europe and of course in Ukraine. It's whole thing is just such an bizzare nightmare.
with weapons they would not look like 'really fine guys' ..there are no good russians. We knew it on our experience.
Простите, а где вы взяли материал о нехватке товаров в сетевых магазинах после 24.02? Я такое наблюдал только в пандемию, и ограничения были только в пандмийный год, а после 24.02 я даже ограничений не помню.
This is exactly the sort of report I've been hoping for. My neighbors are foresters and small farmers, backyard mechanics, jack-of-all-trades. Money is always tight but their "make do" attitude usually carries the day. Our weather isn't as brutal but I see so many similarities. It would be great if you could do more reports like this, in even more depth. I get the impression that newcomers aren't that welcome -- around here, people tend to be a bit reserved but friendly to strangers. Then again, NW Washington has that reputation. Great job!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video, stay tuned for more 👍
I am thinking the same thing about rural Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont -- there are a lot of similarities.
Obviously, one huge difference is the opportunity to openly protest the war or complain about the lack of opportunity or things like decent health care.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if the powers-that-be in Russia actually built a democracy in the 90's instead of looting the the carcass of the state and letting the Putin mafia take over.
Would it be like a western European democracy, or would the rural poor feel isolated and marginalized, leaving them vulnerable to a Putin-type leader, anyway, the way we in the US have failed our own rural and working class people to the point where they can be convinced that Trump is their savior?
@@johnnyrock70 Good points. Listening to the guy making hardware, and the brother farmers, I thought exactly the same thing! If they were here in rural PA, they'd likely be Trump voters, even if it didn't serve their interests. I hate Trump, but I get WHY he appealed to people who really have been left behind. Most of the family farms are owned by some corporation now.
@@ChrisGurin Why do you hate Trump? I don't want to argue but I do want to understand why. ?
@@ambercrombie789 I was not going to bother replying to your question, as all too often this ends up as nothing more than endless, circular arguments: true MAGA believers are immune to evidence and reason, and life is too short to bother with such obduracy. However, since you asked in a non-confrontational way, I will respect the effort and try to limit this to less than essay length.
Trump is a liar beyond even the routine definitions applied to pathology. It does not matter even when he is confronted with multiple sources documenting his lies, he will respond with MORE lies. Multiple fact-checking sources documented more than 30,000 lies over four years. The "what-about-ism" response is usually something like "all politicians lie": true enough, but his lack of shame reveals a profound lack of respect for "HIS" people, in addition to his disregard of law.
Trump is disloyal, to "friends" (rather what he momentarily calls people who parrot whatever toxic nonsense he wants to amplify), family (he squandered millions in inheritance, and stole money from family: see Mary Trump.), and most important-to the nation he took an oath to serve and protect.
Trump is profoundly inept: as impresario of a gambling casino, where customers freely give money with NO expectation of return, HE LOST MONEY. Trump's knowledge of history, economics, foreign affairs, military affairs, so woefully deficient and defiant of correction, reveals he either has a life-long learning disability, or is simply too stupid to care. He should never have been allowed to run for any office, and we can blame his enablers and that insane cadre of voters for sustaining this toxic liar and thief. I'm done.
Excellent video and I enjoyed seeing Lars and his family from another perspective as well as on the ground reporting. Also, great editing and footage!
Excellent to see some daily life and good people just trying to get by.
Amazing Video bratan . Basically i am from russia and Living now in germany . Im very happy to found Your channel !! You Are giving me a Taste und feeling of russia without being there . I wish you the best
Awesome! Thank you!
Why you live in that evil west? Why don't you live in your ruzzia?
@@mintofoods1179 what do you want ? Go and fight for glory ukraine . Why you werent so loud , by the Invasions in iraq or Afghanistan. You are russophob . Slava rossija
so isn't it a good time to come back?)
I loved this! I live on four acres in Michigan, collect mushrooms, heat with maple wood and wear mud boots most of the year. Inflation hits us, too! But, you have to laugh and carry on. I never did round bales for the horses due to moisture, but the Russian farms there are beautiful -- looked like Holstein cows -- good milkers! Tell Lars he is blessed! I'll check out Survival Russia -- I could use some tips!
This reminds me of Wolverine MI so much lol. Even the parts store and gas stations so much alike . Why have these sanctions made eggs in the US 3 dollars a doz .... GREEED
@Lars Hildebrandt you can thank Trudeau for that
@Lars Hildebrandt Charge more for your eggs then, people do understand that you have to make money to live.
Well Russia is doing pretty fine although USA sanctioned them. It was a wrong call to sanction Russia first. They should have opened and continued with talks. Rather than just shut Russia like that cuz Russia can survive anytime in fact their economy is strong.
@Lars Hildebrandt well we shall see how Russia can survive. Because many Asian countries already buying huge volumes of oil from Russia including India, china, Iran.. and now so many of Indian goods are also going into Russia bcuz I also do business as well and too many goods going into Russia now so this is opportunity for countries in Asia and like India to go in and boom the market. So I seriously believe Russian can do well and come out stronger than you think and even USA already feeling the inflation right now.
Thank you very much for this insight in a rural Russian community. The feedback to the sanctions did not surprise me. Rural regions do not profite that much from economic booms but on the other hand do not suffer that much from setbacks either. Thats because they are much more self sustaining as your report pointed out quite nicely.
How sad, then, that these people who do not ask to be so beholden to the outside world, will be asked to now send their sons to a faraway war that they have no interest in participating in.
@@HughCorbyCruick Ask Biden and his dolts to stop messing around in other countries!!!
@@HughCorbyCruick Faraway war? It's being waged next door, in Ukraine. The West started the war with a 2014 coup organized by the US State Department/George Soros, then installed their puppet. The West wants to steal Ukrainian oil & gas, force regime change in Russia, then steal Russia's oil and gas.
@@HughCorbyCruick Are trying to say that rich people have interest in sending their sons to wars? Either that, or you just have a flawed logic or little understanding of how life works, or both.
@@MarkLee1 I said nothing about rich (or poor) people and I think you do not understand what I am saying.
Actually, the village where they live is in on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and it's a very good location for a village. It's just about 150 km from my village in Kotelnich district, where I bought a house in August) In my village I saw boar and moose footprints all the time on every street! And yes, it's a ve-ery forested land with lots of berries and mushrooms. People are self-sufficient there. Anyways, thanks for a good video)
Dude you need more subs this is the best REAL report I’ve ever seen.
Great video with lot of valuable and REAL infos!
Thanks to all people in this video!
Thank you for sharing!
Great video. Always support Lars. Glad to see some are doing ok and even well during this time.
Thank you :)
It is amazing, that Lars looks so Russian))) no difference, only appearance and the accent show that he isn’t local. But manners, way of speaking are so Russian)))
In my place if you want to insult a person, you say "you look like Russian". So only in a freaking RuZZian upside down world such things could be "amazing"...
There is no ruzzian nation. That's the mentality. Only ruzzki can come to other countries, occupy them , kill millions, and had no guilty of that, because they @rulers of the world@ and their culture is above other.
@@mintofoods1179 Well, not only them. Some African (and even Asian) tribes are alright with doing that. But, yeah, that's the same level of ancient and unevolved mentality.
I found it to be similar in Donegal (Ireland), people with large gardens and multiple jobs for income, cutting peat for fuel and making their own drink (poitin).
It's so satisfying attending an honest and unbiased report. The truth enlight and unify the human kind. Keep it up, my friend...
Thanks for saying this. I appreciate it 🤝

As a Dane myself, it was so fun to see Lars on this channel! the way he looks and talks, remind me so much of other guys of his age. even his Poster reminded me of some of my fathers friends! combine it with the Russian backdrop is just somthing i couldn't imagine:D
Two things that amaze me about Russia are how big the country is and how many resources it has.

В Америке все еще очень дорого. Наше правительство причиняет нам боль больше, чем россиянам
Thank you for a very interesting and educational video. Even though news sources here in the United States are many and varied, they naturally carry a bias toward our view of things in the Ukraine and Russia. Your showing us real people and their everyday lives is an important window to the effects of the war (excuse me "special operation"). The Russian people are not the cause of the problems, yet it is they who are hurt by it. Best wishes for your continued success.
A final thought: One of the early clips in your video shows a woman shopkeeper adding up a customer's purchase using an abacus. When I was a kid 70 years ago, they taught us how to use one in grammar school! There were no calculators back then. An adding machine was big, clunky and expensive. At least the abacus will still work if the power goes out!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Yeah, I was surprised to see an abacus, like a throwback to the 90… 😁
But aren't the soldiers, carrying out the orders of their madman and psycho, putty russians? They come from the homes and families that you watched in russia. They have a choice, and hopefully they will pay for the choice they make by fertilizing the fields in Ukraine with their remains!
Lars is absolutely great..
Love him
Uk 🇬🇧 fan..
Believe every word Lars would say..
Caused a smile, your surprise about nails, screws. There are a huge number of companies producing this product in Russia (Seversial, Forest, MP-Region, Pact-NN, Pact-Ural, etc.) Shortly before 02/24/12, many companies were selling this product for export..
This is a nice change for you, Lars! I'm usually FREEZING to death watching your videos...thanks!
Loved this. I have been following Lars for years and this was great. I love what you are doing - I''m in (subscribed)... Keep up the great work!
I love survival Russia! Been following him since almost the start.
hello kosya, a good friend, I'm glad that you visited me and Lars, I will be glad to wait for a visit.
Женя, привет! Я тоже рад, отлично поснимали 🤝
Simple and full of nature. I love it. One Love from Jamaica
Very good video!! I quite enjoyed it. Quick thing though, always remember to check for audio in both ears
Interesting video. It seems a lot like living in a small low income town here in the US. Even the last part where Lars says "the government might be shit but it's ours". That sounded exactly like something I would hear around town if we were in their situation. People are people and the similarities show it.
Yeah I see that, but the big difference is that here in Australia if our government decides to wage war as an associate or on their own we the citizens can object and protest without being jailed or killed. And if that doesn't work we can vote them out of office.
@@mirriulahwaterdog Australia is not a factor to compare with Russia, USA is, lets compare their wars ( 10 times as many wars , many more people killed ( mostly civilians including carpet bombing, napalm, drone bombing civilian weddings, torturing raping POW, lets not forget NUKES on civlian cities after ww2 was already over,al international laws broken...) ...You can protest as much as you like, both parties do same ...Just pretending you have a choice
@@Pr0jectIGI I am more than aware of the injustices of the world mate... But today I am aware of an unjust war by Putin's Russia on Ukrainian civilians causing death and destruction on a massive scale. Stay safe, strong and FREE Ukraine.
@@Pr0jectIGI We can argue the necessity of using atom bombs in Japan, BUT WWII was not over, and do we hear about all the places that Russia is in atm? the places where they send their Nazi millitary aka Wagner and so on? ooooh thats right, Pooptin say he dont know who Wagner is, even though their leader is one of hes close friends, and their benefactor is a oligark that putin probably gets sucked of by on a regular basis, but he probably never heard of him before either. atleast America tell the soldiers mothers that their sons have been killed, atleast America pay the soldiers their salery, atleast Americans isnt raping and executing civilians as a thing to pass time, atleast the Americans dosnt steal kithen appliances and send home, atleast the Americans isnt brest fed with propaganda, and atleast Americans are allowed to think for themself, Atleast Americans can vote their government out. I could go on forever.. but to what use?
@@plainlazy8254 Sorry he just controls the RF not only Russia.
People will always find ways to survive .... basic needs will always be met, especially in a country like Russia with a lot of energy reserves and natural resources. The sanctions will lower overall quality of living compared to unsanctioned countries but it wont prevent living. They will effect the rich and modern cultural centers more than rural russia which was already poor to begin with. Good video
Hopefully the Ukrainian people in their destroyed towns and cities with no gas or electricity will somehow survive the winter too
And then the recruitment began. :)
@@Mighty_Samurai yea we will see how it works out.
Certainly the poor rural areas will be the ones who absorb the real cost of this war .... death and injury.
Will they just accept it?? Take one for the motherland while Putin and the rich keep eating caviar?
Even the quality of living will increase over time as there are countries China or India who are increasing trade with Russia.
This "poor rural Russia" feeds the whole world
Not taking a handout is not pride. It is self-respect, and respect for you, as not to take advantage. It is however called dignity. Very big difference from pride.
I live in the U.S. an I stop eating cherries it got so expensive $20 a bag which it use to be $3 a bag😢
Damn it, $20 for a bag!
Italian products e.g. olive oil, were always expensive. Even in my country(Serbia), which is relatively closer to Italy, than it's to Russia( in geographical terms), is expensive(~16$). They price their crap like it's solid gold, but complain when someone else do the same...
Yeah, sounds familiar
hahahahahaha
Here in the Netherlands a 1L bottle of Italian olive oil is €5, €10 if it's a advertising brand, like Bertolli. It used to be €3 and €6..... before the war. So it has gone up, but it's still affordable if you buy the house brand

It took about a decade when Reaganomics took effect and things really fell apart in Russia during the Cold War. It's anyone's guess what's gonna happen this time. Even if Russians pull out of Ukraine I doubt the sanctions will be lifted.
Lets see what happens in Germany once their current gas stocks run out.

is it federal government are killing kids in Ukraine or wonderful russian's people?
now I am calling russia's people - orks and russia - mordor
and this "reporter" did not ask wonderful people about american's people and you missed a lot of "cool" information about yourself
@@victorgasil494 Apparently, the decrepitude of the mind of your American president turned out to be pandemic and infected many. Living overseas, neither you nor most Americans have any idea what fascism is from which the USSR saved the whole world by paying twenty-six million lives of its citizens. Now America has staged a coup in Ukraine, overthrew the elected government and planted the seeds of fascism-Nazism in Ukraine. We Russians don't need it, so we will destroy fascism whenever and wherever it raises its head. You, like well-fed parrots in a cage, repeat only those words that the owner of your cage tells you. But bird flu has infected his brain and you are infected too.
How can you say russian people are wonderful, they have a history of being barbarians, under Lenin, under stalin. Or maybe you didn't read your history when under stalin, they murdered through starvation, several million Ukrainians in 1931-33. So you say they are wonderful, in destroying a country and its people, in case you haven't watched the news, that Ukraine I am referring to! As I recall, it is russia and russians that invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. They are destroying cities, villages, schools, churches, homes, hospitals, power sources. raping women, children, even men, torturing civilians, stealing anything they can, and you manage to find them "wonderful" .I didn't know that "wonderful people act that way?? Suggest you google the term wonderful , for you next article.

Thanks for providing us with another point of view, independent reporter.
Thank you for this comment! This is really nice to hear
Haha, when getting that camera shot of Lars at the beginning, where he is crossing his arms, quite a few mosquitoes are landing on his hand and face and he doesn't move to swat them. Awesome! I would think fuel would be the only commodity that went down.
Sugar, salt and vinegar are things to have on hand if you are preserving your own food. Love this place, would like to visit for a few weeks. Go camping, fishing and hunting with the locals.
The half empty store is simmilar to Czech COOP shops in villages, many have only amouts that local population migh need every weekend
This is absolutely epic documenting.
Thanks man!
Nice seeing fields without bomb craters. Ukraine used to have a nice countryside before Russian bombs came.
Украина 8 лет бомбила своих же людей на востоке своей же страны. Мерзавцы которые стояли у власти в Украине любили рассказывать что это делала Россия. Когда Россия пришла на самом деле, те же мерзавцы стали вопить что на них напали. Получили что хотели.
Great video! I already follow Lars at Survival Russia and have always enjoyed the content. I've been to Russia many times but never to Siberia and would love to visit someday. Thanks again!
I am from Russia and I will say something similar: If historically unfriendly countries want to force us to change the government, it means we have the right government😁. Of course, there are a lot of questions about internal management, but now they all go far into the background.
So how to you feel about Russia using deadly force to change other countries governments? I guessing you are ok with that as you've got "the right government".
We want you to stop thinking you own the world and can bash other people
@@ananamu2248 If you had told the Americans that, it would have been true and I would have supported it.😁
In the future, Americans will have fewer opportunities to wage wars around the world and change governments in other countries. Russia and China will step up their opposition to this expansive American policy.
Your logic is completely backwards and faulty. The exact opposite is true. If your government was a really good government, there would be no reason to want it changed. 🤷♀️
Your government just preemptively attacked and invaded a sovereign country because that country is teaching children to speak the Ukranian language. You do not see something wrong with that?
Your government has rounded up and put in jail at least 20,000 Russian citizens for protesting the war out on the sidewalks. You do not see something wrong with doing that?
Your government is putting Russian citizens in jail for 20 years for calling the "special operation" a war. TWENTY YEARS IN JAIL. You do not see something wrong with that?
My friend, if you do not see that these are problems with your government, you are blind.
Here in America, in the 1960s, the citizens held large protests out in the streets against the Vietnam "special operation." Was there any fear that our government would round up all of the protesters and make them disappear?
No! The American government is the servant of its citizens. You know what the American government did about the protests?
They stopped the war.
Furthermore, these "unfriendly countries" that you conjure up are purely in your imagination. Every country wants to be friends with Russia. 🤷♂️
Also . . .
The United States does not have an "expansive policy" -- but China does. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️
@@Matthew_Loutner My logic is precisely logic, and not a retelling of propaganda for unintelligent housewives, as you do. Let me remind you who imposed sanctions against the Russians and wants to change the government: these are the countries of the NATO military alliance.
Let me remind you a little more: this alliance was created against the USSR. But when the threat of war with the USSR disappeared, the alliance remained and began expanding, encircling Russia.
And let me remind you again: most wars and coups in the world occur at least with the participation of these very NATO countries led by the United States, and are often directly organized by them. China is a kitten against the background of the American death machine🤨
My right ear found this very Interesting. keep up the good work :)
Thanks for relaying this to outsiders. I subscribed to Lars & the brother's channels.
My prayers are that this conflict ends quickly. My heart breaks every time I hear about Russians and Ukrainians suffering.
The war started in 2014. You're bit late to the show.
Russians aren’t suffering. They are responsible for the suffering. Just like the Germans back in WW2.
@@Inception1338 bravo my friend - 2014, but nobody is allowed to speak about that
@@davorin5428 everybody with access to the internet can research that. It requires a functioning brain though.
The only way the conflict will end is if the Russian People rise up, like they did in 1917 and 1991, and demand Change. If the Russian People don't care about their own soldiers invading their brother-country and committing war crimes like the Nazis, then WE will MAKE them care about it, and completely collapse their Economy . Sanctions are just the beginning.
Конфликт закончится только в том случае, если русский народ поднимется, как это было в 1917 и 1991 годах, и потребует Перемен. Если русский народ не заботится о том, что его собственные солдаты вторгаются в его братскую страну и совершают военные преступления, как нацисты, то МЫ ЗАСТАВИМ им заботиться об этом и полностью разрушим их экономику. Санкции - это только начало.
Also thank you for making a nice unbiased, true reporting video. I appreciate your efforts. This is great!
Good work, my right ear really enjoyed it.
Interesting insight. Thanks for sharing !
ХАА родные Места, знакомые люди! Дай бог, чтоб этот ролик посмотрели жители Европы! и приехали жить как Ларс). Все как есть. Спасибо.
Для чего им ехать в те места?

🇻🇳🤝🇷🇺 I think Russia stills have many loyalty Friends and support around the world.✌️👍
Thank you for that video.
Great video, the world needs more REAL REPORTERs
Thank you! I appreciate it 🤝
Instead of doing actual journalism, mainstream media nowadays just choose to repeat garbage headlines. Thats why no one trusts them.
According to the license plates, they're in Kirov Oblast where my ex-wife is from. Kirov isn't much of a city and most people want to leave, but compared to the countryside in that region, it's like Vancouver. It's not really necessary to go that far away from civilization but alas, some people have family there, which keeps them from opting for farm life in a place with better soil (Rostov Oblast), sunnier weather (Krasnodar Krai), better access to Europe (Kaliningrad Oblast) or more interesting local history (Yaroslavl Oblast). I remember taking a plane via Kirov's local airport once and there was literally a dog sleeping in front of the terminal. Granted, it was 7:00 am. I've got to say that I love their traditional Russian brick oven there.
We are all human we should be able to live peace . It's the few at the top that want war not the people
Thank you for your insight.
@@dalegowler6436 Then they should come out and denounce the war publicly. Correct?
The war is not against Ukraine it's against the so called elites and nazis
>"and most people want to leave..."
So it's exactly like Vancouver?
very pleasant to only have sound on one ear, thanks guys!
Well done sir! Very interesting, had my adhd turned off for 20 mins 😂
A strange concept is that the fuel in Russian is less inflated than Canada and USA... making me wonder who the sanctions really effect in that regard.
It’s almost like the new world order is actually against free hardworking people.
Sound is all coming out of one side. Sound not great.
russia is one of the largest fuel producing countries. so external sanctions can not really have an influence
@@henryganzer4685 So is Canada, we have way more than we can use!
@@jay90374 Yet, we pay more for gas than the states. Wonder who gets rich off that deal? It ain't western Canada.
Lars sent me here from Montana, USA!!
Finally, we see "The Dragon"!!!!
GET OUT AND GET IT DONE! DO SOMETHING AWESOME! -Lars
Thank you for this video. I love these kind of content. Greetings from Hungary! 🙂
Greetings! Great to have a subscriber from Hungary 👍
Lars said I should check out your channel and I have now subscribed after watching this video. Nice to see things outside of the narrow lense of the Mainstream media outlets here in the US. I've always been of the opinion that many of my fellow Americans still view Russian as the Soviet Union was viewed. In many ways our nation has adopted policies that have more in common with that former nation than on the principles it was founded upon here in 1776. Nice job.
Well I have to agree with you there and I also subbed to the real reporter before I read this comment.
@@paddor How about those executive orders, eh?
Actually some of those principals were not as they seem. King George the third was not the bully we've made him out to be. He wanted to protect the indians, he was against slavery and was against and did not practice the things that the constitution implied that the british were guilty of doing. George Washington on the other hand was raring to take over the land the Indians were living on. And was happy to use slave labor to build his home (Monticello) and the White House. Good ole Thomas Jefferson had sex with a young black woman and had a secret passage way built to clandestinely have access to her. When visiting Europe he sold a devoted slave so he could have the money to buy some rare books. Andrew Jackson positively loved slavery. Not the greatest of people I would say.
@Lars Hildebrandt and Obama increased funding for the patriot act. And Obama fully funded theNSA to spy on citizens. Democrats are evil
Tell me you don't know history without telling me you don't know know history.
What an awesome video. Well done…Fred
The guy with the factory producing screws is impressive. A worthwhile video.
i was in MOSCOW and even thing look normal
Normal, but that you mean impoverished?
Good people & what looks like honest reporting from beginning to end. I could taste the mushrooms. I never liked mushrooms or beets until I worked in Russia. I love Russia & my Russian friends. it makes me sad that I will probably never be able to return to Russia in my lifetime. Thank you...jt
Too bad Putin is destroying Ukraine and Russia and Russia's global reputation.
So good video, thanks
Thanks for posting.
I think the previous struggles of Russians has prepared them for hardships that many other countries would not have been prepared for. They are definitely hard working and resourceful.
Putin will mobilize them soon, then we will see how happy they are
@@jamesgough3938 when the people will understand that one thing, that russians are against this war! The real russians! Every video that I see, of a reporter/youtuber asking people about what they think of war is either in Moscow or St.Petersburg....like for real? go to Kamchatka, Vladivostok, Saratovsk, Kazan, etc and ask the locals there how do they feel about it....Almost everyone will tell you that this war has no meaning. Moscow is like another world, yes it is a beautifull city but people are mostly dumb, full of propaganda shit and think that they own the world (the same will be in EVERY Capital City of the World). Am for real! Like there is no better thing than to live with everyone in peace and exchange the joys of life, the experiences, the culture, the food, the technology, etc. Like imagine if russia would make an exhange program with USA for the farmers! Like the farmers from USA could come to Russia and learn something new and vice versa. Or a SpaceProgram with China, USA and build rockets to try to colonize the planets and not other countries! OR like China, Japan, Korea could also make some Exchange of Technology Program OR/AND Greece, Turkey, Italy could make some kind of combined tourism program. Like this world is full of oportunities, why cant we all enjoy it without conflict, wars, hegemony and stop wasting our lives on things we dont love/want to do. It's really sad and I really hope that someday it changes. I dont believe it will, but I really HOPE it. HOPE is always there....Wish you all peace, stay safe.
Excellent video! I appreciate the opportunity to see real people in Russia and how they are doing. Glad people are finding ways to do well, hopefully the less fortunate will also find a way to make it through these tough times.
What tough times??? They've done nothing it's literally their fault. Ignorant, nationalistic cowards.. in other words Russian fascists
Hopefully they realize it's time to get rid of Putin, the new Hitler. The tough times will not ned until he is gone and the war is over.
Такие братья классные 😊
I've been a subscriber to Survival Russia for years, I watch them every week.
Hey, guys! Hope you liked the video. I had a great time shooting it together with Lars. He’s awesome!
Sorry, about the sound. It’s was already too late when I noticed this
Lars recommended you so I'm giving your channel a chance. Very good western accent btw.
Да Бог с ним со звуком. Качественный контент в 100 раз важнее! Главное что у вас получился отличный, хорошо сбалансированный репортаж!
Hey it was fine brother.. as always you find the strangest person in the taiga to hang out with.. Lars is a real man..
It's interesting how you seem to have obtained an American accent and Lars speaks English with a Danish accent.
I enjoyed your video, it just anger's me how the hell the west has a cheek to put sanctions on Russia, have they forgotten about the illegal war they've been involved in, you know so called weapons of mass destruction, bull shit wars in Afghanistan, Syria, ect you could go on. I'm from England but I don't buy into the propaganda, for me it's a war by design to increase the cost of living to pay for money lost during there ridiculous lock downs. I'm glad to here that most Russians won't turn on there own government don't sing to the tune of western politicians. They try and brainwash us to hate each other, turn everyday people into enemies and I for one will not be fooled, I have know problem with Russian people only greedy government's who in this day and age still want to rule the world, the western politicians are know different than Russian politicians, all out to line there own pockets. Us ordinary people are stronger if we stick together rather than be tricked into hating each other.
