Very interesting Russell of the Russia 🇷🇺 we don't see or about here in the west. Wishing you and your wife a wonderful Christmas and health Wealth and Happiness in 2025.
Thank you for your fantastic videos Russell. I've always had a fascination with Russia and would live to visit there one day. I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪 and don't know where my fascination with Russia came from 😂 I know only 2 people from Russia 🇷🇺 and they both came to Ireland to work and never left. We have about 80 000 Russians living in Ireland.. Most came 25yrs ago.The Russians here have integrated very well and are very nice hard working people.
I will be forever thankful to you, you changed my life I will continue to speak on your behalf for the world to hear that you saved me from huge financial debt with just a little trade, thank you Jihan Wu you're such a life saver

Jihan Wu is also my trade analyst, he has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns

Not even in a thousand years will we have a shopping mall of such beauty and magnitude here in Portugal. And another important thing I witnessed when I was in Moscow: the energy, happiness, security, cleanliness, etc. Happy Holidays!
shopping centers are dying already in the West. Same will happen in Russia...next generation online shopping only. The malls and stores will all go bankrupt...at least most of them
@@jerrylee4485 You are so wrong jerry! It's the opposite - online websites are dying, like Wish did. They are working on a net loss. Malls are recording increased foot traffic. People go in a mall to touch and try the product, to show off their new clothes, to interact with friends and new people.

Merry Xmas to all the Russian people from the USA. Especially to my Christian brothers and sisters who celebrate. I pray the new year brings us renewed peace and prosperity.
Christmas is the time of peace and goodwill among people. ALL people. Under the circumstances and regardless of your political views, you comment is grossly offensive and insensitive. Merry Christmas to you anyway.

I think this video clearly shows what the vast majority of ordinary Russian people look like. Beautiful, elegant, calm, contented. PS. Thanks to Mosfilm for the extras.
Dream on. To most Russians it's hell. This is less than 1% of the country. It's like going to Sacs on 5th Avenue and saying, look at how America lives.
@drsmith9536 Muscovites are no more representative of the majority of Russians, than Parisians are representative of the majority of France or NYC is representative of the rest of the US.
@@jamierose4088 boy, there are 13 million people living just in Moscow, yet there are others like Saint Petersburg, Kazan, Sochi and etc., so it’s a bit more than 1%. In fact, I’d rather say it’s close to 1% that live in poverty
Very different than the United States , I very much enjoy your Russian videos. I love that it is so clean and well ordered there. I couldn’t help but notice that there isn’t alot of obesity there. It’s great that Russians are health conscious and don’t over indulge like so many here do.
In fact, 80% of our people don't care what they look like. It's just the constitution of the Russian body. Perhaps it is influenced by natural products. There may be a genetic legacy. We're just like that from birth. Perhaps there is an influence of national dishes. There, in terms of benefits, it's just 100%
Coming from the states, I found this fascinating. The restaurants alone were amazing. This mall appears to be even larger than our largest Mall of America. The people look prosperous. Your wife is beautiful, is she Russian?
Wow ! That’s a big tree 🌲. I have always wanted to visit Russia. Your wife is a gorgeous lady ! ❤ Thank you for showing me what it’s like in Russia. I watch Russian movies all the time. I think the reason I want to visit is because one of my high school teachers went to Russia and she showed us her videos and photos. She shared with us so much about Russian. And I just think it’s a beautiful country. I ended up going to college with a Russian lady. And she told me a lot about her life in Russia. And I learn from the movies I watch. It actually reminds me of the United States in many ways. The country villages remind me of where I grew up. Which was considered part of the city but it was more rural. Lower population back then in the 60/70’s when I grew up. It’s very busy there in Moscow ! And a nice mall. I think the United States malls are suffering really bad. The economy here is horrific. People can barely afford groceries. We have an online thrift store since 2009 and sales are terrible. Non of my Christmas items sold. I only sold 1 Hanukkah item. Usually I sell a lot. I’ll have stacks of packages going out especially in December. It’s nice to see Russia is doing so well. And the items selling are extremely nice. So yeah here in the USA malls are closing. Many stores are closing. thrift or discount stores can’t keep their door open. What once was a great income now people can’t make ends meet. Insurance companies are doubling prices. Taxes are the highest I may lifetime. Never seen an increase in taxes this high ever. The rate at which taxes went up the last 3 years is more than the rate over 25 years. So my husband who was retired back in 2019 went back to work in 2023. When our grocery bill doubled he went back and now in the last year our grocery bill has gone up about 75%. It’s too much for 3 1/2 yrs. I feel very sorry for the older population on fixed income with no ability to return to work. This makes me like Russia even more. Enjoy your beautiful festive holidays. We don’t celebrate Christmas but we like the spirit of Christmas and the lights and decor. I watch Christmas movies too. Hanukkah starts tomorrow night. I just wrapped gifts for family members. We shopped today to get everything for our holiday meals. A new grocery store opened near us and we were able to get lots of groceries on sale and manager specials. I think the cashier was impressed. We bought everything on sale. But that’s us. Always looking for a deal. lol. Y’all Take care ! Thanks again! Leslye - Tennessee USA 🇺🇸
Милая Лесли, Вы так хорошо все описали, что у меня даже слезы выступили на глазах! Пусть все будет хорошо у Вас и у Ваших родных! С Новогодними праздниками Вас! Удачи, покоя и счастья!
I am somewhat claustrophobic, but I would love to go to this shopping center just to experience it. In America we don't have malls like this. Thank you, Russell for another enjoyable video. Merry Christmas to you and your wife. Also Merry Christmas to all watching this wonderful video. ☺💖🌲🎅🇷🇺🇺🇸
I love the idea of a very tall aquarium. I love Moscow because it doesn't feel so isolating. There are many establishments where you can meet people or people watch even if you dont have a lot of money. And people are always just walking about.
We don't care about catolic Christmas in Russia, we buy presents for New Year and Christmas is on January 7, if you're religious. So, it's don't matter 3 days it before Christmas or it's already Christmas.
Christmasy decorations are simply breathtaking in moscow! Big contrast to here in the states.. In my hometown some decorations were stolen from front of our apt. Thats life eh😢 i want to wish you both a merry christmas and healthy new year🎄🎅
To make it clear - the main holiday in Russia is New Year, this year we have official 11 non working days starting from January 1. New Year is all-Russia holiday, when people meet friends and family to give presents to each other and celebrate. 34:28 Christmas as per Russian Orthodox Church Calendar is on January 7, also day off. But this is more religious and intimate event, people attend night services in churches, if they wish
Советская власть боролась с религией вы видите последствия борьбы с религией. Новый год действительно самый большой праздник в России. Это не религиозный праздник.
@@UrbSochi Сколько вам лет и насколько вы религиозны, если так переживаете о советских гонениях на религию спустя почти 40 лет? Все мои родственники состояли в партии и были крещёные, и посещали церковь когда хотели не под покровом ночи. 😁 Про работающие монастыри просто молчу
No garbage or stolen cars in the fish tank, no homeless raiding stores or the shoppers , such a fantastic family friendly place well worth defending. Merry Christmas happy new year and God bless all the brave military personnel who chose to defend this beautiful Nations way of life.
Nice shopping center. Honestly would rather be there than in the west. Probably get better selection and prices. Good to see your wife in the video. Thank you both. Merry Christmas !!! to your wife, you and your followers.
Who cares what actual day of celebrating Jesus birthday, pple happy shopping in this amazing huge center, Russia is flourish! Clean, save, affordable, , pple witn normal faces, no weirdos, no trash, no homeless......love it!!❤
In Russia, Orthodox believers celebrate Christmas on January 7. This day is always considered a weekend and falls within the New Year holidays, which this year will be from December 29 to January 8. There are denominations in Russia that celebrate Christmas on December 25, but unlike the Orthodox majority, there are significantly fewer of them. But basically, for all Russians, without exception, the most excitement for buying gifts and shopping is associated exclusively with the New Year, which absolutely everyone in Russia celebrates with great joy and fun and in large companies. So all these people go in search of gifts for the New Year.
@@sergeysiberian9571 Russian Christmas is also 25 December. But the ortodox church use ancient calendar for 2000 years and it differ. Russians have also two New year celebrations by this reason. After second celebration they take the Christmas tree away.
@@VovaSidorOff Ну ты мне то не рассказывай как я у себя в России отмечаю Рождество и Новый год. И прежде чем нести пургу про Рождество и Новый год по старому календарю, ты задумайся, а почему Рождество по одному и тому же календарю если считать, то у тебя приходится на 25 декабря (т. е на две недели раньше православного в России), а старый Новый год уже 14 января (т.е. на две недели позже). Не задумывался почему так? Так вот прежде посчитай и подумай, а потом неси свою пургу, а лучше историю по этим событиям почитай, полезнее для тебя же будет.
@sergeysiberian9571 ты рамсы попутал, милок. Агрессивный что-то ты не в меру. У меня в России Рождество 25 декабря по нашему церковному календарю. А как у тебя мне похр. Можешь хоть на голове ходить.
Merry Christmas to you and your family ,i really enjoy watching your videos, Wow amazing the stories you hear about Russia it looks amazing, Greetings from Canada
Amaizing no garbage or crazy empty people. Maybe they even don't piss on walls in stores and smells normal. No junkies no drugs Are they in same world like we ? Have feeling they are normal and we on west we are Sick
в магазинах есть охрана, они наблюдают через скрытые камеры, чтобы ничего не украли. И за порядком. Притворяются покупателями, если не знаешь так сразу и не поймешь. И горе тому кто нарушит их правила. Обычно это заканчивается вызовом полиции. Дальше суд и приговор, в зависимости от ущерба.
@@lernaeanhydra5766 As you could notice not all are on the frontlines. And those who are, they are defending this clean culture from the filth that is coming from the so called west!
We r hungry here, In America, here no selection of food, all same chemical boxes year after year, dont want to leave Russia visiting last summer, so much healthy cheap food, affordable and quality!! Jealous!!
@annadecker2484 You're lucky...Here in Europe it's so bad, we've resorted to eating each other! We ate granny for Christmas lunch…She was a tough old bird.
Wow, Russians are really living extremely well. With the exception of Brazil, China and Iran, the rest of the world doesn't know how amazing Rissian life is in reality. It is so festive and happy.
In Russia Christmas is on January 7! The gifting ritual and family meals with trees take place on New Year. December 25 is a normal work day in Russia.
What no comments on how empty the malls are in Russia or how it's a "failed state" when you see all these people out shopping in a nice environment while busy, it looks very polite.
a few days before big party it is crowded...wow, what a suprise and the rest of the time the sales stuff if waiting for the customer of the day...just watch the other clips
Спасибо за интересные и красивые видео, вы снимаете даже лучше чем отечественные блогеры - под другим углом) С наступающим Рождеством, здоровья вам и вашей семье)🎉🎊🎄🎆🎇✨
Merry Christmas/New Year Russell and all. Great video! It's been years since we've seen such "plenty" in Britain and I don't think we've ever had it in Wales. Been a long time since I could even afford to go to London. Will have a look to see what gives there next. Blessings, peace on Earth and have the bestest holidays.
It is Christmas Eve today 24/12/2024 in the UK. It used to be a very busy day for food shopping as shops will be closed tomorrow... well, very few people food shopping this year, as if it is a normal working day.
А в России магазины работают и на Новый год и на Рождество!!! Открыты кафе, рестораны, общепиты!!! Вы не останетесь без продуктов, даже если их заранее не купили!!! Что хорошо в России, это то, что много магазинов работают в ночное время!!! Голодными не останетесь!!! Аптеки работают 24 часа в сутки!!! Рестораны и кафе до 3-4 часов ночи!!! Всё отлично!!! 🎄☃️❄️🎇💓💓💓🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@user-wi6cz4hh5b Its supermarkets in the South of the UK that I am talking about. And selection of food here is poor compared to that Russian supermarket.
Здесь в России не надо осторожничать!!! У нас нет того, что в США, АНГЛИИ, ФРАНЦИИ и т. д.!!! Спокойно,свободно,безопасно!!! Поэтому мне смешно читать ваши коментарии, призывающие к осторожности!!! Да, хорошо вам мозги промыли!!! У нас только в Москву каждый день прибывают до 2-х миллионов туристов!!! А по стране огромное множество!!! Так, что "осторожность" говорит сама за себя!!! 😂😂😂😂 🎄☃️❄️🎇💓💓💓🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@ЛюдмилаБехтяноваДобавлю свои 5копеек, раньше на переезд в рф, в месяц было 5-6семей, сейчас в день 5-6семей хотят переехать и получить ВНЖ. В России конечно есть проблеммы, но я думаю со временем, когда власть окончательно повернётся лицом к народу, будет всё решено.
The outdoor trees in the parks here are amazing. I want to show more of the decorations in Moscow, I am waiting for more snow. It's melted off the last few days with the 0c temps.
What a fun min-car dealership lol Chery (sic) electric cars from China ?!? And at 9:00 ... that columnar fish tank aquarium is huge! Think of the weight of the water, if each Gallon weighs about 8 lbs! (Apprx. 4 Liters equals about 3.79 Kilos?) And that Snow Globe television set is amazing! 10:30 Thanks for the great, interesting video tour!

🎄🌲Thankyou for showings this. I've never see anything positively about Russia (and China plus others) from the western mainstream media. I quit washing them all together. This video of yours bought smiling to me. ☃️❄⛄ Merry Christmas to you, your lovely wife , family and friends. 🎆
Fantastic mall. Looks very busy. Notice there's Chinese Chery cars displayed. Chery has reported massive sales growth in Russia. I bet Russia doesn't have a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs like the USA. Like to visit Russia but ive heard it's not easy to get a visa like China. I'm returning to China next year where I can travel visa free for 30 days. 👍
@@mihailraskin2912 That's good news for everyone else who don't live in the greatest, freest, exceptional, democratic nation in the world ( they say even in the universe) should get a visa 🌞👍
It looks like a nice mall that's busy with many shoppers? Many shopping malls and stores in the U.S. in states like California are closing because of out of control shoplifting, theft and crime.
В России нет рождественского дерева. Нарядные ёлки это атрибут Нового года. Рождество 7 января и христиане идут в церковь, молиться и радоваться рождению Бога на Земле. Рождество в России это не шоппинг и не подарки. Рождество в России это духовный праздник. Новый год это праздник материального мира и ожидание чуда и счастья.
@@krino2 Так пусть учатся называть в России вещи своими именами и правильно переводить названия... А это им для будующих исправлений перевода: ORTHODOX Christianity Ivan the TERRIBLE RED Square
В России елку всегда наряжали на Рождество! В советские времена в рамках борьбы с религией пытались отменить елки, но в итоге оставили их уже как светский новогодний атрибут. Сейчас, когда религия не запрещена, елки - и новогодний, и рожденственский символ.
@@spacetraveller9399 Ну так надо же уважать реалии сегодняшнего дня... Да, так получилось, что елка стала новогодней. И не только из-за гонений на религию в СССР, а ещё из-за перехода государства (но не Православной Церькови) на григорианской календарь...
Esperando que este Próximo Año traiga Paz, Solidaridad y Amor a todo los Pueblos del Mundo 🌎 En el Nombre de Dios Padre, Dios Hijo y El Espíritu Santo, Amén! 🙏🙌🙌
I have finally seen black people passing by in your video❤. Is it ur camera or are Russians generally this clean and well dressed all the time? No weirdos
Yeah, Russells videos are always edited by the KGB using AI to show Russians clean and well dressed before releasing on RUclips.... In reality, it's exactly like Skid Row in L.A... And even worse, there are drunk bears playing balalaikas in the snowy streets of Moscow...
Always be clean (Russian proverb: "Cleanliness is the key to health") - this has been inherent in us since childhood. Culture, education, cleanliness and religiosity! Proper family values (dad is a man and a woman is a mother). Special, boundless care for children (Russian proverb: Children are our EVERYTHING!!!).
There's no Amazon in Russia....Few visit the mostly closed down Malls in America. Most just shop on Amazon and get their gifts delivered to their door. It's nice to see shopping again. It's also nice to see the young people looking normal without a hundreds of earrings and tattoos on their faces and bodies. The environment in Russia appears to be leaps and bounds more wholesome compared to America. I love your videos!!! Keep em coming my friend. ❤
в России есть Вайлдбериз, Озон , Яндекс маркет, Сбермаркет и многое другое. Поэтому торговым центрам сейчас нелегко, меньше народу, чем обычно. Но они у нас не закрываются. У нас нет ограбления, как в сша. Иногда бывают мелкие кражи , но это очень- очень редко.

It is. You really must visit if you get the chance. You will want to stay.
I love the idea of a very tall aquarium. I love Moscow because it doesn't feel so isolating. There are many establishments where you can meet people or people watch even if you dont have a lot of money. And people are always just walking about.
We don't care about catolic Christmas in Russia, we buy presents for New Year and Christmas is on January 7, if you're religious. So, it's don't matter 3 days it before Christmas or it's already Christmas.
Exactly!
The Russian Catholics and many Christians do care so there. Thats just you.
Christmas is always Roman Catholic paganism if you know the story.😂
Nice festive vibe... Pretty Xmas trees. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Christmasy decorations are simply breathtaking in moscow! Big contrast to here in the states.. In my hometown some decorations were stolen from front of our apt. Thats life eh😢 i want to wish you both a merry christmas and healthy new year🎄🎅

Merry Christmas and a healthy and successful new year! Greetings from Australia ❤
To make it clear - the main holiday in Russia is New Year, this year we have official 11 non working days starting from January 1. New Year is all-Russia holiday, when people meet friends and family to give presents to each other and celebrate. 34:28 Christmas as per Russian Orthodox Church Calendar is on January 7, also day off. But this is more religious and intimate event, people attend night services in churches, if they wish

In Russia, Orthodox believers celebrate Christmas on January 7. This day is always considered a weekend and falls within the New Year holidays, which this year will be from December 29 to January 8. There are denominations in Russia that celebrate Christmas on December 25, but unlike the Orthodox majority, there are significantly fewer of them. But basically, for all Russians, without exception, the most excitement for buying gifts and shopping is associated exclusively with the New Year, which absolutely everyone in Russia celebrates with great joy and fun and in large companies. So all these people go in search of gifts for the New Year.
@@sergeysiberian9571 Russian Christmas is also 25 December. But the ortodox church use ancient calendar for 2000 years and it differ. Russians have also two New year celebrations by this reason. After second celebration they take the Christmas tree away.
@@VovaSidorOff Ну ты мне то не рассказывай как я у себя в России отмечаю Рождество и Новый год. И прежде чем нести пургу про Рождество и Новый год по старому календарю, ты задумайся, а почему Рождество по одному и тому же календарю если считать, то у тебя приходится на 25 декабря (т. е на две недели раньше православного в России), а старый Новый год уже 14 января (т.е. на две недели позже). Не задумывался почему так? Так вот прежде посчитай и подумай, а потом неси свою пургу, а лучше историю по этим событиям почитай, полезнее для тебя же будет.
@sergeysiberian9571 ты рамсы попутал, милок. Агрессивный что-то ты не в меру. У меня в России Рождество 25 декабря по нашему церковному календарю. А как у тебя мне похр. Можешь хоть на голове ходить.

Very normal for sure.
They all are on the frontlines now lol.
в магазинах есть охрана, они наблюдают через скрытые камеры, чтобы ничего не украли. И за порядком. Притворяются покупателями, если не знаешь так сразу и не поймешь. И горе тому кто нарушит их правила. Обычно это заканчивается вызовом полиции. Дальше суд и приговор, в зависимости от ущерба.
И это нормально, Данна, законопослушным гражданам ничего не угрожает. Чистота и порядок!

In Russia Christmas is on January 7! The gifting ritual and family meals with trees take place on New Year. December 25 is a normal work day in Russia.
Да, но у нас есть и католики, которые празднуют Рождество 25 декабря.
Love your videos! Keep posting more.
What no comments on how empty the malls are in Russia or how it's a "failed state" when you see all these people out shopping in a nice environment while busy, it looks very polite.

Hi Russell.Happy Xmas thanks for all the interesting videos through the year
Merry Christmas/New Year Russell and all. Great video! It's been years since we've seen such "plenty" in Britain and I don't think we've ever had it in Wales. Been a long time since I could even afford to go to London. Will have a look to see what gives there next. Blessings, peace on Earth and have the bestest holidays.
Congratulations Russell for your channel and your wife Blessings from the United States 🇺🇸👌
It was so nice to see your wife! I'm with her, I hate shopping in malls as well. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
Thank you Russell for the wonderful video!! So beautiful there!
I wanna move and live in Russia❤
It is Christmas Eve today 24/12/2024 in the UK. It used to be a very busy day for food shopping as shops will be closed tomorrow... well, very few people food shopping this year, as if it is a normal working day.
Where I am you can’t move for shoppers.
А в России магазины работают и на Новый год и на Рождество!!! Открыты кафе, рестораны, общепиты!!! Вы не останетесь без продуктов, даже если их заранее не купили!!! Что хорошо в России, это то, что много магазинов работают в ночное время!!! Голодными не останетесь!!! Аптеки работают 24 часа в сутки!!! Рестораны и кафе до 3-4 часов ночи!!! Всё отлично!!!

It's not true in Birmingham, which is packed with Christmas shoppers!
@@user-wi6cz4hh5b Its supermarkets in the South of the UK that I am talking about. And selection of food here is poor compared to that Russian supermarket.

Здесь в России не надо осторожничать!!! У нас нет того, что в США, АНГЛИИ, ФРАНЦИИ и т. д.!!! Спокойно,свободно,безопасно!!! Поэтому мне смешно читать ваши коментарии, призывающие к осторожности!!!

It's almost bankrupt
just look at (sad) faces! nuff said
Are you serious? The GDP of Russia is less than the state of California or Texas.
Это не грустные лица, это озабоченные лица, не все подарки нашли! Придется идти в другой магазин.
It's funny how malls in the states have closed, especially indoor malls. The one left are the outdoor shopping centers. That was a beautiful tree!
The outdoor trees in the parks here are amazing. I want to show more of the decorations in Moscow, I am waiting for more snow. It's melted off the last few days with the 0c temps.
why are they closed?
@moetocafe People shop online so much malls can't compete. No malls have closed in my area but in the middle of the country many have.
On line shopping has decimated the malls.....it's a real shame bc malls were great for socialization. @moetocafe

It's not worth listening to what western media say about Russia! I can only watch BBC stories about space, they are well done! The rest is propaganda!
Люди везде одинаковые, это политики разные
Fantastic mall. Looks very busy.
Notice there's Chinese Chery cars displayed.
Chery has reported massive sales growth in Russia. I bet Russia doesn't have a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs like the USA. Like to visit Russia but ive heard it's not easy to get a visa like China. I'm returning to China next year where I can travel visa free for 30 days. 👍

Thank you for a reminder of holidays past. I live in central Florida and the only stores that look like that are grocery stores
Merry Xmas Russell. Let's hope 2025 brings some peace to the world.
I like your videos mate , hopefully I can visit Russia next year . Keep up the good work 😊
Looks amazing God bless Russia ❤
Hi Russell, can you also show how the shopping mall inside Moscow City looks like now? It should be nicely decorated as well.
It looks like a nice mall that's busy with many shoppers? Many shopping malls and stores in the U.S. in states like California are closing because of out of control shoplifting, theft and crime.
Hopefully, your shopping malls and stores will reopen soon without the fear of theft!
Very informative
Last time i was in Moscow was in 2018 december amazing how nothing seems to have change regarding all that is going on

В России нет рождественского дерева. Нарядные ёлки это атрибут Нового года. Рождество 7 января и христиане идут в церковь, молиться и радоваться рождению Бога на Земле. Рождество в России это не шоппинг и не подарки. Рождество в России это духовный праздник. Новый год это праздник материального мира и ожидание чуда и счастья.
Это бесполезно объяснять им...
Так наряженная елка на английский так и переводится, у них нет новогодней елки.
@@krino2
Так пусть учатся называть в России вещи своими именами и правильно переводить названия...
А это им для будующих исправлений перевода:
ORTHODOX Christianity
Ivan the TERRIBLE
RED Square
В России елку всегда наряжали на Рождество! В советские времена в рамках борьбы с религией пытались отменить елки, но в итоге оставили их уже как светский новогодний атрибут. Сейчас, когда религия не запрещена, елки - и новогодний, и рожденственский символ.
@@spacetraveller9399
Ну так надо же уважать реалии сегодняшнего дня... Да, так получилось, что елка стала новогодней. И не только из-за гонений на религию в СССР, а ещё из-за перехода государства (но не Православной Церькови) на григорианской календарь...
Norway looks like 3rd world country compared to Russia but they keep criticizing them and they are being advertised as "rich and advanced" country :-)

I have finally seen black people passing by in your video❤. Is it ur camera or are Russians generally this clean and well dressed all the time? No weirdos
Yeah, Russells videos are always edited by the KGB using AI to show Russians clean and well dressed before releasing on RUclips.... In reality, it's exactly like Skid Row in L.A... And even worse, there are drunk bears playing balalaikas in the snowy streets of Moscow...
special camera filters
Везде чисто. Приезжайте в гости, увидите всё сами.
Always be clean (Russian proverb: "Cleanliness is the key to health") - this has been inherent in us since childhood. Culture, education, cleanliness and religiosity! Proper family values (dad is a man and a woman is a mother). Special, boundless care for children (Russian proverb: Children are our EVERYTHING!!!).
Always beautiful and Moscow is a beautiful city..
That tree is amazing ❤ gorgeous. Merry Christmas 🎄
BRAVO Well Done 🎉
Thank you for sharing 🎄
There's no Amazon in Russia....Few visit the mostly closed down Malls in America. Most just shop on Amazon and get their gifts delivered to their door. It's nice to see shopping again. It's also nice to see the young people looking normal without a hundreds of earrings and tattoos on their faces and bodies. The environment in Russia appears to be leaps and bounds more wholesome compared to America. I love your videos!!! Keep em coming my friend. ❤
в России есть Вайлдбериз, Озон , Яндекс маркет, Сбермаркет и многое другое. Поэтому торговым центрам сейчас нелегко, меньше народу, чем обычно. Но они у нас не закрываются. У нас нет ограбления, как в сша. Иногда бывают мелкие кражи , но это очень- очень редко.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Russell have a wonderful time ❤
