What a guy! I was afraid of what you'd think when you saw the NY subway, having seen the Moscow Metro. No fake, no bullshit, you showed a person sleeping on the floor of the station, and all the ugliness -- but then you found something nice to say about it, that the trains aren't as loud as in Moscow. You're giving some of the most insightful pictures of New York I've seen. I hope you keep traveling the world if you want to. And what a great dad, to give your wife and daughter the experience!
Тенчо Тенчев The majority of people living in the US don't really know much of a difference and don't worry themselves about details - in their eyes everyone speaking Russian is a Russian :).
shay tuck They are not considered to be Russian. In the Soviet passport there was a place where they would write down a person's "nationality". A Jew living in the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic or the Kazah Soviet Socialist Republic, for example, was still a Jew, not a Russian or a Kazah. It was a messed up system where the definition of "nationality" is different from what you probably accustomed to. Even not a religious Jew was still a Jew, where his "Jewish nationality" was determined by his father's lineage. Your grandparents made a decision which they can't be blamed for - after all, it is difficult to be comfortable in the society where there is a strong believe that if anything bad even happens to them, it must be the Jews who caused it. I wonder if it is any different now
yes and that is why the jews leave that god forsaken land when they can. My great grandfather was a jew from russia who went into poland- thats how bad it was.
Keltic Sage that's dumb bro. don't get me wrong there are a lot of issues such as a the NSA but to act as if your some oppressed person is ridiculous. especially coming from someone in a western first world country. the government is gonna shut your speech down... well unless you live in Sweden or Canada lol. The only threat to our speech currently isn't the government but rather the SJW trash that comes out of western universities. The fact that ideologies such as anarcho-capitalist and libertarians is even a concept in the west goes to show how valued freedom is in the west. we need to focus on shutting the NSA down but let's not bullshit ourselves either and act like we are being persecuted
It's not dumb, but this is perhaps not obvious to anyone who has only experienced American Brand "freedom". Sure, it's a "free country" but there are a lot of things that will get you jailed or shut down here that nobody would bat an eye at in eastern Europe. The expression here is largely meaningless, but no more so than anywhere else.
Peter Roberts your gonna have to give examples because last time I check the government can't force you to do anything unless you break the law. maybe arguably the draft? Nor can they "shut you down for no reason" sure plenty of people get shut down. but its for breaking laws. I hope your not one of those fake libertarians that think that they have no freedom cus they can't jerk off in public.
You even responded like an American! Lol don't let it upset you, remember we are a little iffy concerning cameras (you know the whole NSA thing). Great videos, I'm enjoying these.
Bo88y Beretta The NSA not likely has anything to do with this :). The lady working in that store is probably doing so illegal and doesn't want to be caught on camera. That said, while filming is not illegal in a situation like this, it is still a nice gesture to ask permission to film.
This is just the second one of your videos in the US that I have watched. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one on Astoria. I like the fact that you are an honest reporter on what you see. You seem open to any experience, without a lot of preconceived notions getting in the way. I have to say, you were very kind to the New York City subway system, which I find pretty dirty and disgusting. I haven't had time yet, but I'm looking forward to the rest of your videos on the US. Nice job!
Wonderful episode Sergey! Interestingly enough, we have not been to Brighton Beach yet. So thank you for giving us a look in advance. Really great videography in this one! Always a pleasure to watch you work! We miss you my friend. Paul
It's extensive, and I think it's the best way to get around New York City--aside from walking. I use the subway whenever I go to the city. But it's ain't pretty.
There are almost 500 stations in the system, and there is art in many of them--mostly tile mosaics that depict something about the history of the city or some event. But the main stations in Manhattan that most tourists use are pretty uninteresting. I used to work in the city, so I rode the subway all the time. On the #1 Train, they had conductors who would give a continuous talk about the history of each part of the city we rode through, give people ideas about interesting things to see at each stop. That was fun. I remember musicians playing in the subway all the time. And watching people in the subway can be extremely entertaining. You'd be surprised how many famous people who live in New York City actually ride the subway or ride the buses or are just walking around the streets. I've spotted quite a few in past years. But you're right, it's built mostly to get the 6 million people who ride it each day from Point A to Point B. Not built for beauty. :)
I agree. You couldn't pay me to take a subway anywhere, but in Russia. Not only are their subway stations clean, but like museums with their art displays.
Haha this reminded me of Maddox video roasting NYC. It's good to get both sides of the spectrum. I for one like NYC myself, but then again have only ever visited.
i have been living here for 30 years. hard to move when my job is here. out of state, it is very hard to find work unless you are in IT or nursing. i do not like or dislike this place. it is a place where my work is and i just use what resources i have. i do love going for walks at dawn (i am there at about 5 a.m. at daybreak) and dusk nearly every day on the boardwalk from the start at brighton to the parachute drop at coney island. i LOVE seeing the small maltese dogs! i wonder if russia loves pets too?
Sergey, great video. I used to live in NJ and was always in New York shopping but I never visited Brighton Beach and now thanks to you I finally see what Brighton Beach is like. When filming in the U.S., you can generally film anywhere but when in a private establishment, sometimes the people get a little bent out of shape. Maybe they are afraid of being found by the police. Haha. I am so sorry that they hurt your feelings and on behalf of the rest of our citizens, I apologize. I hope that you get to celebrate a wonderful American Thanksgiving day here and I also hope that you get to experience a real American Thanksgiving dinner today. Keep up the great work Sergey, I guess that next I am off to the Staten Island Ferry with you. Thanks again my friend.
You're welcome! Thanks for comment and opinion. I will not celebrate American Thanksgiving because I am already in Russia but upload the videos just now because I never had a time and conditions to do that during the trip.
I've been to all the places where you walked. Most New Yorkers don't go to Brighton Beach because it is a long trip from Manhattan. It is much colder there in winter because of the proximity to the water and the strong winds that blow off of it. If you want authentic Russian products, it's the place to go. There are incredible bargains, especially on sweets. Before Easter, there are babushkas who set up tables on the sidewalk and sell their homemade traditional Easter bread.
You are so good at what you do! If you lived in America you could call your show Real America. You really capture the life in every moment . You are a true artist!
It's great to hear such an appreciation! But to say honest, if I had same experience as I have now before I started this channel, I wouldn't called it using the word "real". If you only knew how many people bothered me with that word for over four years since the beginning. Damn! As soon as there something they think in their opinion is not "real", they thurst me in it. :) Like... you go to Moscow? But Moscow is not real Russia! Same was about New York! It's not "real" America! And more than that, no matter where I have been in the US, I also everywhere heard this is still not America. And when I've heard that even in Omaha, I said I don't give a shit to what is real or not anymore :) I would better call the show "Hello America" or so.
Excellent! It's good for your audience outside of the USA to see what New York City is like. In many larger US cities the homeless do sleep on the ground like you showed. It's funny, if you go north into New York state, it is completely different than in NYC. Very beautiful in upstate New York. The guys were playing "handball".
even in my small rural Kentucky town we have homeless now, I see more and more homeless people every day in USA its now a 3rd World Nation with a few at the top living like gods
I am sure our subways were a shock to you. We do not care for our things, or our people as you so. Moscow metro is like a work of art compared to New York Metro
I kind of liked it, the dated looks, green steel, wooden roof. No-nonsense I prefer that over modern 'architectural' where you are all supposed to feel so enlightened or something to that effect. A more 'natural' look. And I like to see 'real' materials like steel or wood. When a bit of dirt doesn't make it ugly then it's good architecture.
The New York subway system was originally made up of lines owned and operated by three different companies: the IRT; the BMT; and the IND. Later the three lines were put under one administration and ownership. That may add to the confusion. The Moscow Metro is by contrast more rational, but it dates from the 1930's, whereas the NYC subway is much older and it shows. Old timers (such as myself) still refers to the IRT, BMT, and IND trains.
I feel the same way about Brighton Beach, Sergey. We may say Russia, Light. After being in Russia, and meeting you in Ufa, I won't even go back there. Nothing to see. I hope your visit was a good one. I look forward to you getting back to sharing the Real Russia with all of your fans. I would love someday to return to Russia. After being there a few times, and living there for 5 months, it is in my heart, my second home. Your Friend, Tom
sergea, I enjoyed your video on your visit to NYC and Brighton Beach. I am a little disappointed that you did not engage in casual conversation with other Russians there. You could have exchanged opinions on life in their neighborhood.
Sergey, I stumbled across your video and I love your St. Petersburg content! Yes, America is a free country, however, you were on private property. It is their store, and it is their rules. But, a policeman will never ask you for your passport for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I am very glad you had a chance to visit New York City. This is from somebody who was born in Kiev and came to this country 40 years ago.
Another thing- I am glad you have seen far more of the USA than just NYC. Most Americans don't consider NYC as "real" America. It is a small part only. Keep traveling.
Your comment in regards to "Taste of Russia" eatery. In the USA private operated businesses do have the right to set certain rules for example no use of cameras while inside. But outside on the sidewalk (public domain) you can use a camera all you want to record the front of the store since they are exposing that part of their business to the public.
You can film through their windows. You can even film through the windows of houses which is why there is a lot of hate on drones because perverts are buying drones and filming women.
Adding to this, if you just ask them and let them know what you are doing then most businesses will be cool with it. Some people, like myself, do not wish to be filmed.
I was a small boy here. We went walking on the boardwalk all the way down to Coney Island and my father played handball (the game you were watching). I remember eating a spinach soup called Schav. We finally moved to Los Angeles.
Those guys on the court are playing a game called handball. It's been around for decades here in the States. There are indoor and outdoor courts. I enjoyed your video.
Must have been nice for you guys to find the Russian area. I know I always loved it when I found another Canadian or Canadian related things when I travel abroad!
The sport you were watching is called Handball...I wish you had come in the summer. Brighton Beach has an amazing atmosphere in the summer when New Yorkers try to beat the heat by swimming.
I cannot hide there's a lot of outdated things with a flavour of 90's of Russia. Interesting that you will not find too much of that even in Russia itself these days. :)
I've found (in my fairly high level of international travel ) that the US is generally tolerant of photography. Russia was pretty good also. London on the other hand is awful - I was asked to leave a train station for taking photos. A subway performer ran after me being very belligerent. Also in Germany. So the US is at the top of (my) list for photo friendly IMHO.
You need to visit the gulf coast beaches in Florida. The beaches there are different than any beaches in the US. The sand is white as snow and the water is see through blue depending on the time of year. They are as close as it gets to Caribbean water without going to the Island
If establishments do not have a sign that says photography not permitted I would video in open establishment. If they say something to you then I would let them know I didn't see any signs and that you would like to give them free positive mention of their business and do not want to make it negative. With their help you can show their business in a positive way to a million viewers!
I remember when I was in Russia they yelled at me not to film in the stores and markets on several occasions. I think they are worried that I was filming for their competitors.
in Russia... in theory the law is even more liberal than in the US. Even if it's your property but the property given for commercial activity where public is allowed, then you may film. Why? Because the law consider filming as source of getting an information which is protected by Constitution. From the point of view of Russian law... to film in the property doesn't mean to occupy that. Technically, it's same as if somebody will complain for you just watching the stuff in the store. When you film, you don't even touch. BUT... in practice I don't know why in Russia people are so afraid of cameras. And usually you have a problem explain anything to the security guard. Because for ordinary security guard the "law" of employer who pays him actual money is way higher than Constituion or other Law. :)
Thank you. I live in Brighton and LOVE it. I am studying Russian. Cannot wait to go to Russia!. You missed the Tashkent, the Net Cost, If you are there at night, you can see the Russian musicians. There are swimmers all year.
I like how he told he in Russian I was told its America a Free CountryGreat video I live 5 hrs away & haven't been to NYC much I hope to go sometime & check out that Taste of Russia place
Very excited to see you in America! I watch every one of your videos. The lady in the store was rude, you will likely see that attitude again during your holiday in America. Have fun with the family and be safe!
Sergey, you are providing the deepest look into the real USA! I've never been to NYC, and never knew there was such a nice looking beach there. I knew about Coney Island, but didn't realize there was such a nice beach at Brighton. And the picture of the beach, with the city in the background, is a completely new image of New York to me. I never knew! This is why sometimes it takes a foreigner to "see" things we never notice about ourselves. So glad you came to visit.
HAHA, I loved your response when you were told that you can't film in that shop. I'm sorry you had to experience that but like the comment below said you can you expect that kind of attitude in a big city. Great video though, I'm certainly looking forward to more videos from across the States.
The lady in the shop wasn't rude. She just said that Sergey hasn't asked for the permission but not in a rude way. And it's their shop so they determine the rules. I personnaly think she was right. Sergey should have asked.
I really enjoyed this video, Sergey. You have such an amazing way of bringing the true feel of the places you're filming, that it seems we are there with you. I'm sorry you got in trouble for filming, but I love your reaction! Again- great job!
Been to Brighton Beach a couple times myself during the summer. Lived on Cape Cod during the summers when I was a kid and the beach was walking distance away. Ocean high tide when the waves come in is beautiful especially when everything surrounding is quiet.
That woman in the "Taste of Russia" restaurant sounded like one of those people stopped by "Stop a Douchebag". - "Why are you filming?" - "Who are you to film me?" - " Put that camera away!" etc. So funny!
Sergey. I think those DVD's that you saw in front of that store are sold as "used", with some "pirated" as well. Notice also that there's a sign offering vinyl records. They are becoming popular in the US again. We are subscribers of 'Netflix' and we get 3 movie DVD's every week. They are still popular in the US.
+ElCid48 Vinyl is OK. I myself have a good collection of vinyl and turntables. No wonder vinyl is getting back because vinyl is true. It's quality. Analogue quality.
***** And now some companies are producing new turntables too. I have more than 200 vinyl records. Most of them Classical music that I inherited from my parents when they died. They are a treasure and still in good condition. I hope you could stay more time in the US and see more wonders. Thank you for your entertaining and educational videos. You are the best ambassador bringing understanding between two different cultures. BTW. Your English is VERY GOOD. Take care, friend.

From personal experience, grocery stores do not like you filming because they think you might be their competition. If you were a competing store you could get knowledge of their inventory and undercut the prices to drive them out of business. I have been yelled at for this at a Wegman's before. Sorry you had that experience.
well that seem like bullshit, i mean anyone can enter the store and take notes of the prices, dont need a camera for that. Sure with a camera is easier but still can be done by anyone just checking in like a "normal" customer.

I hope you enjoyed your stay in America. Please visit again soon, and it would be great to show you around Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We aren't as exciting as NY, but we have Amish.....LOL! Happy Thanksgiving and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for comment, I am glad you enjoyed the visit to the US. We had nothing to compain about there and I would love to get back one day. But definitely it's not going to happen soon. Travelling there is very expensive.
Real Russia I hope that expense will be less in the future, or maybe you will get so rich and popular from your channel that cost won't be an issue! I know there's 100s of years of history all over US, but if you want a peek into history in the southeast Pennsylvania, I'd love to have you next time. We are country folk. I'm working in West Chester today, where George Washington led his troops many years ago.... Have a great day and best health to you and your family! (It was great to see your daughter ride dirt bike! Now she wants one? )
Some people are not nice at all keep doing what your doing we love it and I'm happy your family got to come here is would love to come to Russia some day please keep them coming
Yes, I always keep the videos coming. Usually some slow in January because of unstoppable and too long New Year holidays but... starting from next week I will getting back on regular track.
That was a very good video about Brighton Beach, but when I think about Brighton Beach, I think of the Neal Simon play and later the movie with the same name. Brighton Beach Memoirs is a very good movie and I think you would enjoy it.
Never knew there was a distinct Russian neighbourhood in New York - it's very interesting. Just goes to show how culturally diverse the city is. The beach is nice too! Haven't seen that many of your US videos yet, but this is cool - keep it up. BTW, happy Christmas and New Year to you too!
Another great video Sergey! I look forward to your impressions of American driving from your trip. That should be interesting. Keep those awesome videos comming. :-)
he should set up a secondary business doing that, with this channel being his main income. that's a great idea. lot of us americans would love to use his service to safely navigate mother russia.
I think it was squash they were playing? Hard to tell. Or maybe their own game they made. Love the video , I went to New York City a few years ago, but never made it to the beach! Very nice :)
Your videos are the "Real deal". What you see is what you get kind of thing. I like a lot you videos. I believe that not all stores will like to be filmed without permition. Be careful. I will be visiting NY in the future, could you talk about the subway card you used?
Thank you for comment! in Russia... in theory the law is even more liberal than that.

Everything is pretty understandable.
I loved what you said to the придурок in "Taste of Russia." You should have gone советский мальчик on them. You speak better English than many New Yawkahs (New Yorkers.) Da!
When you are out in the street , that is considered public property and thus you are free to record. When you go into a particular store, that is considered private property and the owners may ask you not to record. If you ask the owners or the workers for permission to record, they may say yes. Better to ask if it's Ok to record when you go into a place.IMO

Enjoying your videos. As you go from different parts of the US you will see how each area is unique and different. Furthermore, all New York City residents are not the way some people have commented about them. Many of them are friendly and hospitable. They are just driven and focused. Of course, as you get out of the cities to the towns and smaller areas the people are totally different. Sergey, you will also have a lot of people on who hear who don't like the US. Therefore, their comments will be negative. I've traveled the world and the US is still one of the greatest places to live. Looking forward to the other videos.
There are borderline homeless but it's very rare. Parents almost never kick out their kids no matter how they get old. And even rent and mortgage itself doesn't really exist in Russia. It's more like you either own the apartment or house or not. At least that's what my Russian friends told me.
will victoria post her videos? also sorry that you were yelled at for filming... sometimes businesses don't want their buildings filmed because sometimes thieves will film the businesses they plan to rob. it helps them get a better view of their target and helps them formulate a plan. however, your "i heard america was a free country" comeback was hilarious
She still never posted anything. But when she will I will give an announce about it on my channel. Even though her vlog is going to be very very amateur for now :)
Cool video! Hope you are enjoying America. Filming in public spaces is a little different from private spaces. A store is considered private property, much like a house, and sometimes store managers don't want people filming. Unlike most of America, people in New York tend to be assholes, so hopefully they weren't too mean about it.
Yes, definitely I enjoyed the States. I had nothing to complain about there. in Russia... in theory the law is even more liberal than that.

filming the store would only bring more people like me to visit Brighton Russian neighborhood and buy from their store their good looking foods looks yummy.
They seem like do not get used to look forward to much! :) These days such a complants seem ridiculous because if you need to film for something bad you may just buy glasses with absolutely hidden camera mounted it.

I hope so too and will keep doing my best for that.
It must be very interesting as a Russian to find a Russian community in the US. Great episode.
Тенчо Тенчев The majority of people living in the US don't really know much of a difference and don't worry themselves about details - in their eyes everyone speaking Russian is a Russian :).
and so jews are not russians to you. No wonder they flee russia-
and no wonder all of my grandparents left europe- thank god.
shay tuck They are not considered to be Russian. In the Soviet passport there was a place where they would write down a person's "nationality". A Jew living in the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic or the Kazah Soviet Socialist Republic, for example, was still a Jew, not a Russian or a Kazah.

I wonder if it is any different now
yes and that is why the jews leave that god forsaken land when they can. My great grandfather was a jew from russia who went into poland- thats how bad it was.
That had to be the first time in a long time I heard someone say "It's a free country" - and not from a Murican - and not in English...
"free country" is just an illusion anyway, if you attempt to act on your "freedoms" you'll be shut down quick
Keltic Sage
that's dumb bro. don't get me wrong there are a lot of issues such as a the NSA but to act as if your some oppressed person is ridiculous. especially coming from someone in a western first world country. the government is gonna shut your speech down... well unless you live in Sweden or Canada lol.

your gonna have to give examples because last time I check the government can't force you to do anything unless you break the law. maybe arguably the draft? Nor can they "shut you down for no reason" sure plenty of people get shut down. but its for breaking laws. I hope your not one of those fake libertarians that think that they have no freedom cus they can't jerk off in public.
that is so awesome to be able to watch it from your point of view
thanks!
Sergey: some people are not polite at all, this is great what you are doing 😃
+Canadian kid thanks
You even responded like an American! Lol don't let it upset you, remember we are a little iffy concerning cameras (you know the whole NSA thing). Great videos, I'm enjoying these.
Thanks!
Bo88y Beretta The NSA not likely has anything to do with this :). The lady working in that store is probably doing so illegal and doesn't want to be caught on camera. That said, while filming is not illegal in a situation like this, it is still a nice gesture to ask permission to film.
In America, whether or not you can film is the decision of the owner of the business. You can film in any public spaces.
This is just the second one of your videos in the US that I have watched. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one on Astoria. I like the fact that you are an honest reporter on what you see. You seem open to any experience, without a lot of preconceived notions getting in the way. I have to say, you were very kind to the New York City subway system, which I find pretty dirty and disgusting. I haven't had time yet, but I'm looking forward to the rest of your videos on the US. Nice job!
+PerthTowne thanks! But I must say you've missed the video from Times Square :)
***** I'll go back and look at that one as well. I intend to look at all of them!
+PerthTowne to make sure you're not missing any episode from the US, watch through the play list called "Real Russia In The US".
***** Thank you, Sergey!
Wonderful episode Sergey! Interestingly enough, we have not been to Brighton Beach yet. So thank you for giving us a look in advance. Really great videography in this one! Always a pleasure to watch you work! We miss you my friend. Paul
Thanks! :)
RealUnitedStatesVlog You have a cool Vlog I have to say. I' m a new subscriber now :) Hello from Russia to nice people!
for me as a tourist, metro Moscow is much prettier than NY subway.
It's extensive, and I think it's the best way to get around New York City--aside from walking. I use the subway whenever I go to the city. But it's ain't pretty.
The NY subway looks just functional. The architects seem not to aim beauty. Pity.
The New York Metro is a sh#t hole to begin with.
There are almost 500 stations in the system, and there is art in many of them--mostly tile mosaics that depict something about the history of the city or some event. But the main stations in Manhattan that most tourists use are pretty uninteresting. I used to work in the city, so I rode the subway all the time. On the #1 Train, they had conductors who would give a continuous talk about the history of each part of the city we rode through, give people ideas about interesting things to see at each stop. That was fun. I remember musicians playing in the subway all the time. And watching people in the subway can be extremely entertaining. You'd be surprised how many famous people who live in New York City actually ride the subway or ride the buses or are just walking around the streets. I've spotted quite a few in past years. But you're right, it's built mostly to get the 6 million people who ride it each day from Point A to Point B. Not built for beauty. :)
I agree. You couldn't pay me to take a subway anywhere, but in Russia. Not only are their subway stations clean, but like museums with their art displays.
Hello and love from Brighton beach!! You are my favorite channel
I really hate New York City. Definitely one of the most overrated cities in the world in my opinion. You couldn't pay me to live there.
How long did you live there for?
Haha this reminded me of Maddox video roasting NYC. It's good to get both sides of the spectrum. I for one like NYC myself, but then again have only ever visited.
lol
i have been living here for 30 years. hard to move when my job is here. out of state, it is very hard to find work unless you are in IT or nursing. i do not like or dislike this place. it is a place where my work is and i just use what resources i have. i do love going for walks at dawn (i am there at about 5 a.m. at daybreak) and dusk nearly every day on the boardwalk from the start at brighton to the parachute drop at coney island. i LOVE seeing the small maltese dogs! i wonder if russia loves pets too?
Where do you live at?
Your reaction to the store owner was totally American! Love it!
Haha!
Sergey, great video. I used to live in NJ and was always in New York shopping but I never visited Brighton Beach and now thanks to you I finally see what Brighton Beach is like. When filming in the U.S., you can generally film anywhere but when in a private establishment, sometimes the people get a little bent out of shape. Maybe they are afraid of being found by the police. Haha. I am so sorry that they hurt your feelings and on behalf of the rest of our citizens, I apologize.
I hope that you get to celebrate a wonderful American Thanksgiving day here and I also hope that you get to experience a real American Thanksgiving dinner today. Keep up the great work Sergey, I guess that next I am off to the Staten Island Ferry with you. Thanks again my friend.
You're welcome! Thanks for comment and opinion.
I will not celebrate American Thanksgiving because I am already in Russia but upload the videos just now because I never had a time and conditions to do that during the trip.
Loved it! I really enjoyed that you went to a russian community in NYC.
Thanks
I've been to all the places where you walked. Most New Yorkers don't go to Brighton Beach because it is a long trip from Manhattan. It is much colder there in winter because of the proximity to the water and the strong winds that blow off of it. If you want authentic Russian products, it's the place to go. There are incredible bargains, especially on sweets. Before Easter, there are babushkas who set up tables on the sidewalk and sell their homemade traditional Easter bread.
You are so good at what you do! If you lived in America you could call your show Real America. You really capture the life in every moment . You are a true artist!
It's great to hear such an appreciation!
But to say honest, if I had same experience as I have now before I started this channel, I wouldn't called it using the word "real". If you only knew how many people bothered me with that word for over four years since the beginning. Damn! As soon as there something they think in their opinion is not "real", they thurst me in it. :)
Like... you go to Moscow? But Moscow is not real Russia! Same was about New York! It's not "real" America! And more than that, no matter where I have been in the US, I also everywhere heard this is still not America. And when I've heard that even in Omaha, I said I don't give a shit to what is real or not anymore :)
I would better call the show "Hello America" or so.
It's always a joy to hear your lovely positive perspective.
thanks!
The world needs this channel and more like it!
Yes, would be good! :)
Excellent! It's good for your audience outside of the USA to see what New York City is like. In many larger US cities the homeless do sleep on the ground like you showed. It's funny, if you go north into New York state, it is completely different than in NYC. Very beautiful in upstate New York. The guys were playing "handball".
+Clark T thanks for feedback and info!
Yes I can confirm it's nice and very different in upstate NY versus NYC. there are a few ugly cities as well like Schenectady and Troy.
Handball is pretty popular sport here.
even in my small rural Kentucky town we have homeless now, I see more and more homeless people every day in USA its now a 3rd World Nation with a few at the top living like gods
I am sure our subways were a shock to you. We do not care for our things, or our people as you so. Moscow metro is like a work of art compared to New York Metro
I kind of liked it, the dated looks, green steel, wooden roof. No-nonsense I prefer that over modern 'architectural' where you are all supposed to feel so enlightened or something to that effect. A more 'natural' look. And I like to see 'real' materials like steel or wood. When a bit of dirt doesn't make it ugly then it's good architecture.
But the main thing it perfectly makes it's main function of transporting people from point A to point B.
The New York subway system was originally made up of lines owned and operated by three different companies: the IRT; the BMT; and the IND. Later the three lines were put under one administration and ownership. That may add to the confusion. The Moscow
Metro is by contrast more rational, but it dates from the 1930's, whereas the NYC subway is much older and it shows. Old timers (such as myself) still refers to the IRT, BMT, and IND trains.
I feel the same way about Brighton Beach, Sergey. We may say Russia, Light. After being in Russia, and meeting you in Ufa, I won't even go back there. Nothing to see. I hope your visit was a good one. I look forward to you getting back to sharing the Real Russia with all of your fans. I would love someday to return to Russia. After being there a few times, and living there for 5 months, it is in my heart, my second home. Your Friend, Tom
Welcome back to Russia and Ufa, Tom!
My regards to you and your family!
I hope you got lots of video of your drive across the USA (can't wait!!!) and of course I hope you and your family enjoyed it.
+Question Mark just stay tuned :)
Real Russia
I hope y'all went to Texas. It's a nice state.
Welcome to NYC. If you have time, you should arrange a fan meet up for your New Yorker fans.
I tried to. But I announced it too late and gave too little time for people to arrange their time. So only one guy Adam came :)
sergea, I enjoyed your video on your visit to NYC and Brighton Beach. I am a little disappointed that you did not engage in casual conversation with other Russians there. You could have exchanged opinions on life in their neighborhood.
Sorry for your disappointment.
Sergey, I stumbled across your video and I love your St. Petersburg content! Yes, America is a free country, however, you were on private property. It is their store, and it is their rules. But, a policeman will never ask you for your passport for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I am very glad you had a chance to visit New York City. This is from somebody who was born in Kiev and came to this country 40 years ago.
I just subscribed. Your English is great, and I like your no bull**** attitude too.
Another thing- I am glad you have seen far more of the USA than just NYC. Most Americans don't consider NYC as "real" America. It is a small part only. Keep traveling.
Your comment in regards to "Taste of Russia" eatery. In the USA private operated businesses do have the right to set certain rules for example no use of cameras while inside. But outside on the sidewalk (public domain) you can use a camera all you want to record the front of the store since they are exposing that part of their business to the public.
You can film through their windows. You can even film through the windows of houses which is why there is a lot of hate on drones because perverts are buying drones and filming women.
Adding to this, if you just ask them and let them know what you are doing then most businesses will be cool with it. Some people, like myself, do not wish to be filmed.
tsangpogorge The business itself is privately owned.
I don't think it is rented from the city. Rented from Trump or another owner like him.
The classic subway. NYC it's a total experience. And shame on that russian shop.
these arent russians sir, these are ukrainian jews from backward-ass villages, we true Russians aren't rude like that.
ilya Kozlov Oh! Didn't know, sorry. Then shame on that ukrainian shop! :)
I guess you've never watched Stop a Douchbag here on youtube? There are rude people everywhere, and someone's religion has nothing to do with it.
:)
When you hear them speak Russian is it with any different accent then you'd be use to hearing? Just found your channel today, really enjoying it.
Real NY, with no fake and no bullshit.
Yes
I was a small boy here. We went walking on the boardwalk all the way down to Coney Island and my father played handball (the game you were watching). I remember eating a spinach soup called Schav. We finally moved to Los Angeles.
Fucking love your channel! Your videos are pretty pleasuring to watch... :)
Thanks so much!
Those guys on the court are playing a game called handball. It's been around for decades here in the States. There are indoor and outdoor courts. I enjoyed your video.
I recognize that area from Grand Theft Auto 4.
I used to play that game too.
Must have been nice for you guys to find the Russian area. I know I always loved it when I found another Canadian or Canadian related things when I travel abroad!
The sport you were watching is called Handball...I wish you had come in the summer. Brighton Beach has an amazing atmosphere in the summer when New Yorkers try to beat the heat by swimming.
Gotcha
Always seeing your sweet little girl appear out of nowhere makes me think she is an angel protecting you.
When i visited NY i didn't like Brighton at all. its like frozen soviet style of life in its worst times. (i'm a russian).
I cannot hide there's a lot of outdated things with a flavour of 90's of Russia. Interesting that you will not find too much of that even in Russia itself these days. :)
the girls are also snobs!
I've found (in my fairly high level of international travel ) that the US is generally tolerant of photography. Russia was pretty good also. London on the other hand is awful - I was asked to leave a train station for taking photos. A subway performer ran after me being very belligerent. Also in Germany. So the US is at the top of (my) list for photo friendly IMHO.
Yes, the only complaint I've got about filming is that Russian store :)
You need to visit the gulf coast beaches in Florida. The beaches there are different than any beaches in the US. The sand is white as snow and the water is see through blue depending on the time of year. They are as close as it gets to Caribbean water without going to the Island
I hope to visit Florida and sounthern states when and if it will happen for us to come to America again.
If establishments do not have a sign that says photography not permitted I would video in open establishment. If they say something to you then I would let them know I didn't see any signs and that you would like to give them free positive mention of their business and do not want to make it negative. With their help you can show their business in a positive way to a million viewers!
Usually they never look that far :)
Awesome, I'm really enjoying your opinion on the various aspects of American life!
Thanks!
I remember when I was in Russia they yelled at me not to film in the stores and markets on several occasions. I think they are worried that I was filming for their competitors.
in Russia... in theory the law is even more liberal than in the US. Even if it's your property but the property given for commercial activity where public is allowed, then you may film.
Why? Because the law consider filming as source of getting an information which is protected by Constitution.
From the point of view of Russian law... to film in the property doesn't mean to occupy that. Technically, it's same as if somebody will complain for you just watching the stuff in the store. When you film, you don't even touch.
BUT... in practice I don't know why in Russia people are so afraid of cameras. And usually you have a problem explain anything to the security guard. Because for ordinary security guard the "law" of employer who pays him actual money is way higher than Constituion or other Law. :)
Thank you. I live in Brighton and LOVE it. I am studying Russian. Cannot wait to go to Russia!. You missed the Tashkent, the Net Cost, If you are there at night, you can see the Russian musicians. There are swimmers all year.
I like how he told he in Russian I was told its America a Free CountryGreat video I live 5 hrs away & haven't been to NYC much I hope to go sometime & check out that Taste of Russia place
Lol. Vika looks so happy to see a beach, since there's barely any in Roccia.
No, we have a lot of beaches in Russia and even in Ufa, but sea is not everywhere.
Oh. Sorry for my false assumption. :(
Very excited to see you in America! I watch every one of your videos. The lady in the store was rude, you will likely see that attitude again during your holiday in America. Have fun with the family and be safe!
Thanks!
I died after you told her that it was a free country in Russian. LOL greetings from a America!!
Sergey, you are providing the deepest look into the real USA! I've never been to NYC, and never knew there was such a nice looking beach there. I knew about Coney Island, but didn't realize there was such a nice beach at Brighton. And the picture of the beach, with the city in the background, is a completely new image of New York to me. I never knew! This is why sometimes it takes a foreigner to "see" things we never notice about ourselves. So glad you came to visit.
I was glad to visit too. We had nothing to complain about. Nice to see my insights becomes interesting enough even for Americans themselves.
Sergey...they were playing "handball," a very popular NYC game. I used to play it when I was younger..
Got it. Thanks for info!
Really looking forward to the rest of this series ! Good Job !
I did my best. Thanks.
HAHA, I loved your response when you were told that you can't film in that shop. I'm sorry you had to experience that but like the comment below said you can you expect that kind of attitude in a big city.
Great video though, I'm certainly looking forward to more videos from across the States.
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed all the rest videos!
The lady in the shop wasn't rude. She just said that Sergey hasn't asked for the permission but not in a rude way. And it's their shop so they determine the rules. I personnaly think she was right. Sergey should have asked.
I really enjoyed this video, Sergey. You have such an amazing way of bringing the true feel of the places you're filming, that it seems we are there with you. I'm sorry you got in trouble for filming, but I love your reaction! Again- great job!
Not a big deal! :) Anyway, finally I've got a good video.
Been to Brighton Beach a couple times myself during the summer. Lived on Cape Cod during the summers when I was a kid and the beach was walking distance away. Ocean high tide when the waves come in is beautiful especially when everything surrounding is quiet.
That woman in the "Taste of Russia" restaurant sounded like one of those people stopped by "Stop a Douchebag".
- "Why are you filming?"
- "Who are you to film me?"
- " Put that camera away!"
etc.
So funny!
LOL
очень нравятся ваши видео, спасибо
Cool..!!!! Sergey .... You are the man....!!!!
Thannks!
Sergey. I think those DVD's that you saw in front of that store are sold as "used", with some "pirated" as well. Notice also that there's a sign offering vinyl records. They are becoming popular in the US again.
We are subscribers of 'Netflix' and we get 3 movie DVD's every week. They are still popular in the US.
+ElCid48 Vinyl is OK. I myself have a good collection of vinyl and turntables. No wonder vinyl is getting back because vinyl is true. It's quality. Analogue quality.
*****
And now some companies are producing new turntables too.
I have more than 200 vinyl records. Most of them Classical music that I inherited from my parents when they died. They are a treasure and still in good condition.
I hope you could stay more time in the US and see more wonders.
Thank you for your entertaining and educational videos. You are the best ambassador bringing understanding between two different cultures.
BTW. Your English is VERY GOOD.
Take care, friend.
Thanks!
No permission needed to film in public.
MUST ask in a private business.

These videos are so good. I can't wait for the Chicago videos!
thanks!
I enjoyed every second of this video!
Happy to hear that!
From personal experience, grocery stores do not like you filming because they think you might be their competition. If you were a competing store you could get knowledge of their inventory and undercut the prices to drive them out of business. I have been yelled at for this at a Wegman's before. Sorry you had that experience.
well that seem like bullshit, i mean anyone can enter the store and take notes of the prices, dont need a camera for that. Sure with a camera is easier but still can be done by anyone just checking in like a "normal" customer.
Well said!

Very interesting video, I liked your visit in the shop - it was like from past CCCP ! Thanks from finland
Nice episode. What I like about "Real Russia" is that it is genuine. Enjoy yourself.
Thanks!
On the way to Brighton beach today! Thanks for the video!
I hope you enjoyed your stay in America. Please visit again soon, and it would be great to show you around Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We aren't as exciting as NY, but we have Amish.....LOL! Happy Thanksgiving and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for comment, I am glad you enjoyed the visit to the US. We had nothing to compain about there and I would love to get back one day. But definitely it's not going to happen soon. Travelling there is very expensive.
Real Russia I hope that expense will be less in the future, or maybe you will get so rich and popular from your channel that cost won't be an issue! I know there's 100s of years of history all over US, but if you want a peek into history in the southeast Pennsylvania, I'd love to have you next time. We are country folk. I'm working in West Chester today, where George Washington led his troops many years ago....
Have a great day and best health to you and your family! (It was great to see your daughter ride dirt bike! Now she wants one? )
Some people are not nice at all keep doing what your doing we love it and I'm happy your family got to come here is would love to come to Russia some day please keep them coming
Yes, I always keep the videos coming. Usually some slow in January because of unstoppable and too long New Year holidays but... starting from next week I will getting back on regular track.
A new favorite episode now!
good!
That was a very good video about Brighton Beach, but when I think about Brighton Beach, I think of the Neal Simon play and later the movie with the same name. Brighton Beach Memoirs is a very good movie and I think you would enjoy it.
Thank you!
Some stores will tell you that no filming is allowed but there is no law against it, just up to the owner.
Never knew there was a distinct Russian neighbourhood in New York - it's very interesting. Just goes to show how culturally diverse the city is. The beach is nice too! Haven't seen that many of your US videos yet, but this is cool - keep it up. BTW, happy Christmas and New Year to you too!
Happy belated Christmas and Happy New Year! and ever Happy Old New Year! :)
Love your videos Sergey! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for love! Definitely I will keep my work going.
Thank you Serguey, you are such a nice guy!
Love your videos!
Hey Sergey, what camera have you used this time? what gear did you get for this one? I liked it a lot
Another great video Sergey! I look forward to your impressions of American driving from your trip. That should be interesting. Keep those awesome videos comming. :-)
Sure I will! Thank you very much for watching, commenting and appreciation.
I'm enjoying your videos very much. Thank you.
If I ever travel to Moscow, I will pay you very well to be my tour guide. You are awesome. I enjoy your videos very much!
he should set up a secondary business doing that, with this channel being his main income. that's a great idea. lot of us americans would love to use his service to safely navigate mother russia.
That was good - just like being there. In Brighton Beach.
It was interesting experience.
Very good documentary. Can't wait for ep4! ♥
Thanks!
You need an electric skateboard to travel around on like how youtube channel Casey Neistat has done on his vlogs. He lives and works in New York.
Been there many times. yes old habits die hard with the permission. I have missed it thank you
True
If you're a grafitti artist ,New Yorh City is the place to be,it's everywhere!
I think it was squash they were playing? Hard to tell. Or maybe their own game they made. Love the video , I went to New York City a few years ago, but never made it to the beach! Very nice :)
Thansk!
Your videos are the "Real deal". What you see is what you get kind of thing.
I like a lot you videos.
I believe that not all stores will like to be filmed without permition. Be careful.
I will be visiting NY in the future, could you talk about the subway card you used?
Thank you for comment!

What about card... you just go to that machine, pay with credit card and get the metro card. Everything is pretty understandable.
I loved what you said to the придурок in "Taste of Russia." You should have gone советский мальчик on them. You speak better English than many New Yawkahs (New Yorkers.) Da!
Thanks!
When you are out in the street , that is considered public property and thus you are free to record. When you go into a particular store, that is considered private property and the owners may ask you not to record. If you ask the owners or the workers for permission to record, they may say yes. Better to ask if it's Ok to record when you go into a place.IMO

Thank's for good video :)
Always welcome!
Very good channel :) memories from NY come back..
Enjoying your videos. As you go from different parts of the US you will see how each area is unique and different. Furthermore, all New York City residents are not the way some people have commented about them. Many of them are friendly and hospitable. They are just driven and focused. Of course, as you get out of the cities to the towns and smaller areas the people are totally different.
Sergey, you will also have a lot of people on who hear who don't like the US. Therefore, their comments will be negative.
I've traveled the world and the US is still one of the greatest places to live.
Looking forward to the other videos.
Thanks! Stay tuned and keep watching...
Is there no homeless in Russia?
There are borderline homeless but it's very rare. Parents almost never kick out their kids no matter how they get old. And even rent and mortgage itself doesn't really exist in Russia. It's more like you either own the apartment or house or not. At least that's what my Russian friends told me.
Your so awesome!!! Your daughter is beautiful, can't wait to see more and more videos
Such a shame they didnt let you film in the store.
It's not that never let me to film there but they asked why I never asked them for permission.
will victoria post her videos? also sorry that you were yelled at for filming... sometimes businesses don't want their buildings filmed because sometimes thieves will film the businesses they plan to rob. it helps them get a better view of their target and helps them formulate a plan. however, your "i heard america was a free country" comeback was hilarious
She still never posted anything. But when she will I will give an announce about it on my channel. Even though her vlog is going to be very very amateur for now :)
***** awesome!!! thanks! i don't think anyone cares about her skill level! she's a funny kid either way.
Did you ever get to Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood or the Russian neighborhood around the Sunset and Richmond areas in San Francisco?
I think NYC could benefit from a trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg metro systems.
Cool video! Hope you are enjoying America.
Filming in public spaces is a little different from private spaces. A store is considered private property, much like a house, and sometimes store managers don't want people filming. Unlike most of America, people in New York tend to be assholes, so hopefully they weren't too mean about it.
Yes, definitely I enjoyed the States. I had nothing to complain about there.

That homeless guy sleeping on the ground at 0:31 :D
Another great video comrade!
filming the store would only bring more people like me to visit Brighton Russian neighborhood and buy from their store their good looking foods looks yummy.
They seem like do not get used to look forward to much! :) These days such a complants seem ridiculous because if you need to film for something bad you may just buy glasses with absolutely hidden camera mounted it.
I'm America there is no filming or pictures allowed in big corp stores such as Walmart and Target.
