Amaya Mcfadden yes, he’s a troll from under a bridge waiting to kill us all. Please don’t judge but yes I like Pokémon go so it would’ve still been a hard choice but I would’ve gone with Hilary Clinton. In my school we got to vote for who we wanted. We all wanted Hilary Clinton as president . That was in each grade. I was in elementary.
All of the Russians saying they want to make peace and being friends with us (America), it makes me feel so happy!! I’ll be friends with all you Russians 🥰
Media is a broad example, give us some examples of media calling Russia a cold and scary place. Also, I’m sure Russia does the same to the US, every country has media that hates each other, you can’t avoid, every country I’ve been in I’ve seen anti-country media and it is mind boggling
I wanted to visit Russia but the media scared the crap out of me. & as a Mexican/ American I was told people there are racist. It was nice to see this video.
Destiny Kudelko Too bad your government keeps provoking Russia. You know what they say: "Don't touch a bear, and you'll be fine. Poke it and... Well you're screwed".
nothingg I'm afraid things wouldn't be better with any of the given alternatives. If you at least had a candidate who would be neutral towards Russia, most people would support him. However every single candidate had some sort of anti-Russian rhetoric, even Trump. I am not a Russian, so don't think I'm idolizing Putin. But he has proven to be more of a just leader than Trump or Obama, probably because he is a counter-balance to American imperialism. If Trump kept his promises of reconciliation, most of the world would support him. Right now, we don't know what to think.
despite politics, Americans actually think that Russia is really cool!! Y’all are really awesome in the eyes of the people. Your leader, not so much. But seriously, Americans definitely DO NOT hate Russians. Far from it!!
Yes but the major thing he gone to st. Petersburg and Moscow which are the more popular areas and tourist areas of Russia. The land itself is vast and big and the are some towns that are basically not even on a map. Health there's even one town that is living breathing radiation and the people who actually live in that particular Town Within 10 km actually get affected by the radiation. And I would highly suggest staying away from a certain area of Russia where the religious fundamentalist reside and butcher anyone who looks gay or looks out of place...
As a Russian I do not enjoy the Soviet Union jokes. And also... Russia isn't as bad as people make it out to be. We have way more freedoms than people think. We dont ride bears and neck bottles of vodka. We are just normal people.
I'm from America, but I'm really interested in Russian culture because we hear so much about politics in the news, but I'm more curious about the everyday lives of civilians. I'm learning the language (it's hard, but I'm making progress!) and I really enjoy Russian classical music and have been looking up traditional recipes. In times like this, I feel we need to be aware that the government does not always share the same views as the population, and I'm always eager to learn more about the country!
@@accordingtosophia we are just normal people. Everyone acts like we are Vodka drinking bear riding communists. We are just normal people People also think we can't speak English for some reason? But as you can see, we can. We are just normal people.
Arraik cruor. I agree, our country isn't an appropriate place for these types of people. On the other hand, most of our people don't give a damn about gays.
@@arraikcruor6407 We're, uh, very... Conservative when it comes to such matters. To be frank, publically pushing for stuff like same sex marriage or extreme gay rallies tend to be a reason for some conflict here because it is viewed as an attack on morals and family values, but if you just do your thing without bothering others, they won't bother you back.

OMFG THAT LAST PART FROM KOT LEOPOLD WAS. MY. CHILDHOOD. In all seriousness, as the daughter of Russian immigrants, this video is really important to me. Russians are just like you, and life in Russia can actually be really really hard, because as one of the women said, they need to make life better for themselves. They have the same struggles, needs, and wants as Americans. "
So true and I completely agree with you. I myself moved to Sweden from Saint Petersburg with my family when I was little, so Im pretty much swedified, but being of russian decent can bring so much negativity and hate your way even though you never ever did anything bad to anyone. It takes a lot to be respected and not judged and all the mistakes our forfathers and goverment has made is automatically our fault. No its not, thats why these kinds of videos are great because they show that there is more than one side to russia and that people and government are not always alike.
Valeriable same here in France. I'm half French, half Russian, born in Paris with a French name and it doesn't stop me from being classified as "Russian". This means getting constantly harassed, judged etc
Denis Richard for real? This is awful. I never know about harassment in the world if you partly Russian. Can u tell more about it? And what do think about this?
TheBaseFilms it is when in the metro you speak Russian and people stare at you with a mean look/change seat/tell you that you are a fuckin Ruski while nobody bothers about the guy talking Cambodian on the phone. It is when during the Skripal affair you get remarks like "you and your people will all be poisoned". It is when you make a mistake in French class and the teacher tells you to go back to Russia, even though you are French. It is when you get the "tell Putin to buy me a ticket" joke more than twice a day, every day, from May to June, right before the World Cup. It is my mother not finding a job in a Western company for 2 years because you see, Russian women are whores..... Etc
Reminds me of when my Russian ex-girlfriend tried to teach me Здравствуйте ("hello" in Russian) - it's a real tongue twister - she's gave up on me and was like..."Okay...you can just say Privyet"
Yankee in Siberia, I'm British and I wish I could come over and see Russia too! Wishing you happiness and success in your new home, God bless Russia and the U.S. I hope that those two great countries will one day be the greatest of friends. :) xxx
Знаю что поздно написал и скорее всего никто не прочтёт, но я рад что ведущему попалась такая умная девушка, которая по сути сказала все правильно, и не часто можно услышать такие правильные мысли, пусть даже они не очень радужные.
This video def. opened my eyes about Russia. Thank you for the positivity. I felt like there was so much negativity portrayed throughout media when it comes to politics and the mass of Russia. I didnt want to think that Russians were close-minded and rude people. I def. agree with the cat at the end of the video: it's best to get along with each other :)
Igor Zorin I'm not sure but the videos I've seen such as news reports and interviews were all negative against Russia/ portray them as rude. I think it's because of the differences in politics and the media can be a bit bias :/
Jennie Xu It stems back from the Cold War. If people don’t like a country’s government, they’ll always ask “but what about the people”...however, if you can manipulate people into believing most people are bad and deserve bad things.... you can justify anything politically. It’s decades old with them. Another example is the war in Iraq: the population was dehumanized leading up to the Iraq War to justify war in the country along with the imaginary weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein was bad, but would people agree with bombing people halfway across the world if they saw their humanity? No... Iranians and the Chinese are also ridiculed,demonized for political reasons...
I applause to you, calls a whole nation close minded yet didn't want to do a 5 minute research about the mentioned country outside of sources that are made to demonize that country. Are all westerners like that?
Jennie Xu That's why the "right wingers" always call western media "fake news". Because they are. Their job is to work for the interests of the western elite (corporations and banks). Russia is more or less a sovereign state with their own brains and stand in the plans of the elite for world domination, that's why Russia is portrayed as evil. Seriously, stop watching the media. Clear your brain from this garbage if you want to do a favor for yourself. If you want to know anything about a country, just pack your luggage and go for a trip, or ask those people who went to that country. Don't watch the news! Cheers!
Edgar Rätsep I never said that Russia is close- minded. I am just saying that where I am from, the news media always portrayed it that way. I'm saying that this video was very interactive with Russians which is something I dont often see on the news. I hope you understand.
mellis grand 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard at this, you do know that we have the natural ganja, scientists have started manipulating strains and doing crap, but we still good.
I had a student from Tyumen once, he said they also had bears at the outskirts of the city. So I guess we have them in cities in Syberia, perhaps in Ural. Not in Moscow though, if only in the zoo.
Autumm Dottir I think some outskirt areas here in the USA, especially like Alaska can see similar things....but obviously not in Chicago or NY or LA and you get the point.... People just exaggerate with them and that’s why they pointed it out! 😁
As a child when I didn't really have control over the media I saw, thought bad of Russia,but once I was able to learn and discover by myself, Russia's not that bad of a place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OMG , I hate the accent !!! I'm Russian but I have a British accent , and cause I'm blonde people assume that I am British , but when they here that I'm actually Russian they are like "whaaaaat ???"😂😂😂😂
And what did we learn from this video? It's the younger people who don't care about politital differences, who want to move forward from bad history, it's the young generation that wants peace, no matter in what country they live in. Yet, it's old people who rule those countries.
Maka chan Russian youth is not comparable to American youth. I mean we all want peace and reconciliation, but Americans and Russians (and Eastern Europeans in general) think differently. I can confirm, I am from Southeastern Europe, was in Russia, and Western ideals are disliked by a vast majority of people.
You should see the grammar ;) The language, especially written, is excruciatingly hard and I'm a native speaker... Speaking is fine and easy, but in writing the punctuation and word order may cause some pain (when someone doesn't know where the commas go)
I have always found it easy(the pronunciation). He did a pretty good job though. It's usually pretty hard for native English speakers to pronounce Russian words.
Another myth about Russians that can be debunked: every Russian is either very rude or very loud. I swear, every single Russian I’ve ever met has so extraordinarily nice and usually very shy. Maybe they’re just not confident in the language or maybe they’re just naturally shy, I don’t know. However, I can confirm that all of the ones I’ve met have always been very pleasant people. (They also don’t say comrade)
im puerto rican, and i am kinda sad that im american because they put alot of stereotypes on russians. they're actually really nice and good mannered, im learning russian and im hoping i can live there later on in my life even if i have an anime profile picture. до свидания!
@@mikhailaldebenev we also say "svet" for "light" and "world" in Russian. There's also "in the white light" which means "in the whole world". For example you can say "smb is alone in the white light" which would in this case mean that the person is all alone/only one in the whole world. I wonder if there are equivalents of it in other slavic languages.
This video makes me so happy. I love Russia. I studied in Saint Petersburg for a semester and loved it. I meet so many amazing people and I can't wait to return one day. But I am just so happy to see a video that finally shows how great Russians! There is so much negativity in the USA sometimes, that is nice to see something so positive
HOME!!! I'm from Moscow, Russia and it's a beautiful place to visit and to live in. The food is amazing and there's so many things to do as well. I hate the stigma that Russia has in the American media. Russian people are actually really nice when you get to know them better. Plus the culture and the history is absolutely beautiful. I'd recommend everyone visiting Moscow at least once in their life, believe me, you'll be surprised :)
@@user-oq1tr7ys5i you are a Russian troll. Spewing lies. The invasion of Crinea and south Ossetia prove the violent take your land mentality of the Russians. Who gives a crap on what everyday people say on the street? They support The dictator Putin 17 years and counting! So how can you say they are so kind and peaceful?? Hypocracy at its finest. Talk to the Baltic states, Estonia, latvia, lithuania , ect and or Poland , Romania, ect and why now they want nothing to do with Russia?? These are former USSR members who hate Russia for their brutal rule . The media is state run in Russia pure propaganda. Pure lies and the Russians know this. American press is truthful because it has much negative and positive stories which is balanced. The Russ8an press is for 25 years and tens of thousands of stories has zero negative or critical story on Putin or the Duna!! Hummm..only a low IQ idiot is confused who has a free and honest press.
I think it funny. The typical stereotypes around the world is that America is a country filled with crazy obese hillbillies wielding shotguns while doing donuts in pickup trucks and hating Russia while Russia is a country filled with bad ass bear riding AK wielding communists who hate Americans but in reality we both actually like each other and wanna get along
Ratings of Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump were down to 40%. Rating of Putin is over 80%. It is legit to separate people and government in the case of USA, not Russia. Positive relation of Russian people in 2017 by Levada survey: Putin - 83%, Brezhnev - 47%, Stalin - 46%, Lenin - 44%, Yeltsin - 17%, Gorbachev - 15%. Yet, traitors Yeltsin and Gorbachev are the only Russian leaders praised by the West.
I’m not American or Russian, but this is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. It’s crazy how politics can make it look like two countries are going to war. I’ve only been to Russia once, and I made a friend there who is probably the best person I’ve ever met. I’ve been to America, to visit some family, and also made amazing friends there. Both of these countries are not what they seem. They are full of kind and mostly welcoming people, and all we need in the end is for everyone to simply have a chat with each other. Put one person from every country beside each other and they’re bound to become the best of friends. What I see is people, not politics.
Well said. Governments, even in democracies, are not representative of the people. I think we all just want to live in safety and love our friends and family no matter where we’re from. Traveling makes you realize that we are not that different from each other- even if we live on opposite sides of the world, speak different languages, follow different religions… We’re all just people trying to get through our day.
@@belbetica Crimea practically always was a russian territory and the citizens of Crimea are happy, as they really become live better (it isn't propaganda because it's logical by only the fact of tourism and huge investments). Maybe it was an annexation, but it did good

Chinese people actually really respect the U.S., in terms of its economy, education, the standard of living, etc.. Perhaps the gov't holds stronger and stricter views, but not the people. Source, am Chinese.
Vince Chi isnt wrong actually. as a foreign student living in china for her studies, as my ethnicity background is chinese, people tend to look and treat me differently than my other friends who clearly look european/british/american. if he were to go there, hed definitely get a different treatment than i do even if we're both foreigners and sound so american just because of how he looks. you tend to even get a job easier if youre "white"
Katherine Rochester It might seem like (overseas Chinese) being treated worse, but the foreigner treatment is a special treatment. Foreigners are seen as guests, while overseas Chinese are just Chinese who have lost touch with China. South Koreans and Japanese are still highly treated as foreigners even though they are East Asian, due to their isolation from China.
Us in (America) some of us think bad of Russia, but a lot of us LOVE you guys. I hate the people who make fun of you, and think you’re scary. We are all humans, I hope to visit you guys one day, and I would love to be friends!❤️🇷🇺
Nowadays, in these hard sh## times, I'm so glad that there are some Americans who support Russian people. It's games of our governments. I think ordinary people from different countries shouldn't hate each other because of these political games. I'm an ordinary Russian. I just want peace and all this cr@p to end. There are no good or bad nations. People of one and the same nation can differ from each other. People from all over the world, I send my love and support to you regardless of where you live. Stay strong, don't give up. I hope that everything will be fine!

This makes me so happy to see! I have always loved Russia's beauty and language. Not only are the city's and buildings are beautiful but the people are too. I am an American and growing up I was always told how America and Russia do not get along or like eachother. Shoot, even still to this day people shame me or question me in a disgust tone as to why I want to visit there or why do I like it there. And I am 27 now... You ran into great people there who had nice things to say. Sadly I do not think that you would get the same positive feedbacks. Because I did get the chance to talk to one Russian over email who still lives there and he told me that it's the same over there. Russians are told bad things about us in the same way Americans hear about them. And he told me that many Russians has not nice things to say about us because of what they have always been told. If I could travel to one place, it would be to Russia. But I have believed that my dream will never come true. Plus I don't speak any Russian and had a VERY hard time trying to learn on my own. I don't have anyone to teach me and didnt have the option to learn when I was in school. So I have given up on my dreams to visit Russia one day and I only get to visit there with listening to their music and watching videos or seeing pictures. But this video here has spark my dream and wish to go there again. Now I feel like I must make sure to visit there one day and I must find a friend to come with me. Would love to meet a friend who is Russian and speaks English to translate for me and teach me some Russian language. Or to at least find an American who is fluent with Russia and can do the same. Thank you so much for bringing my dream back and for making this video! Let there be love between America and Russia. I hope the countries can be friends one day soon!
Come to Saint Petersburg, I'll help you and spend time with you, you don't have to learn Russian to come here, a lot of people in big cities speak English, so,welcome 😊
It's not true that in Russia they speak badly about Americans and treat them badly. I can bet anyone that if an American finds himself in a difficult situation in Russia, the Russian will do everything to help him.
its not that hot, but humidity is high (cause smart people in the government decided that just rain is not enough and started spraying the roads with water.)
Hi Russia! Despite our politics I really think your history and culture is amazing! I hope to go visit some day! Love from an American Gal! Also, just a small fun fact. Prior to WWII, we were great allies! I believe Russia aided the Union in the Civil War (along with Prussia) and the US helped supply the Red Army with food, equipment, and other basics during WWII! Hope one day we can be allies again! You guys are awesome!
I think Russians don't really care about foreigners but like not in a bad way. They just don't seem interested 😂 When I was there I did get a few strange looks from the elders but I think that was just because they are not used to seeing foreigners. It's a beautiful place and if you're thinking about visiting you absolutely should.
I think it's more of a generational thing. when I visited St. Petersburg a few years ago, I was treated like dirt by the older folks simply for being American. keep in mind that my family is from the former Soviet Union, and we all speak Russian. when older people found out we were visiting from the US, they acted like we were traitors to the motherland. young people (Millennials), on the other hand, were very accepting and kind and actually treated us like humans.

@@statusquo9520 as russian I can say that were still should be responsible for choosing this kinda government, cuz theres still a lot of conservative views walking around russia this days. Hopefully it will change with the new generation, cuz we have internet and it gives us a lot more freedom of speech and opinions (that government really afraid of)
why did this make me cry? - because - I know we are capable of so much more. - Stop the hate - make plans to visit other other peoples, other places, so that you may SEE and hear first hand. That others are not so different, OR filled with hatred.
As a Russian person I just want to thank you sincerely for this positive video. We are indeed open-minded and we are sick of propaganda. Thank you so much
Not all the people know how to pronounce this, unfortunately. The English teaching is quite poor in Russia. And some people know the right pronuciation but still use the wrong one just because they're used to it
My cousin married a Russian woman from St. Petersburg. She is very friendly, shares Russian culture, and treats her American friends to Russian cooking. This video shows how friendly Russians are.
Awwwe the last clip. Also, wow an actually positive video about Russia? 😅 I was getting a little nervous about all the Soviet Russia jokes I was about to endure in the video and comments
Alyasha, everything is still basically the same. Some people are a little crazy or nervous, but because they watch too much TV. The same as in the USA, I think. Russians are great friends for everyone, we just don’t like it when they put pressure on us, and we don’t leave other Russians in trouble (and actually not only Russians). So it is very sad to see how the world feeds on propaganda and behaves extremely unethically, and sometimes rudely, violates contractual relations, does not respect business relations at all. This speaks volumes. That culture, valor and honor which we read and heard about which were in Europe - it no longer exists. But it doesn't mean that we are the same that we are ready to just turn our backs to people when trouble comes. We never do that.
@@HISPEEDLEVEL I mean bombing a children's hospital and refusing the believe when ur son calls u from Ukraine and says he's been bombed and saying "no thays propaganda,Russian news says diffrently" is not exactly helping fellow humans out. My heart hurts for the Russian soldiers ,the young ones who didn't know they were being used as cannon fodder until too late. Who r just pawns. Who have called family crying and been videos being fed by ukranians. Reports just like this of China publics opinion and every country in the world are alike in so many ways. All except Russia. So Russia is the only truthful news? Makes no sense. But it easier to convince men of lies then it is to convince them they have been lied too. As an American who's government lies to me often once the lies r revealed it is shocking but it has also allowed me to learn how to find better unbiased ,independent news that shows more than one side of things. Russian people don't have that option and even get arrested right now for silly things that every other place sees as normal basic rights to speak against something bad ur government does. Protesters who r jsut walking being arrested. Atleast here protesters have to be violent to be arrested most of the time. 15 year sentence for speaking against the war. Whole TV stations walking off set an announcing it because they can't stand to report false news the government wants them too. I've seen the footage of babies in ICU beds stuck in basements in bad conditions. A little boy who's parents were killed. By Russian attacks walking by himself into Poland crying alone. This day and age there's no justifiable reason for any government to do this. So what if nato borders Russia? If they aren't interfering then what are they hurting by existing as neighbors? Nothing. Now if nato crossed into Russia or started "peacefully " getting rid of Russian gov I would see a reason for Russia to invade or retaliate. But nothing was done except for natos insolvent in places that were known to not be Russia years ago. It makes no sense to have "military operations " I'm ukraine when the majority of ukraine wants free of Russia. If someone in ukraine wants Russian gov then they could just go and live in Russia. If I disliked my government enough I would move to another place . It's logical. Ppl do it all the time. Now the ukranians are forced to be refugees and lose loved ones and hopefully go home to ukraine when Russia is done bothering them and then what do they get to go home too? Destruction and chaos. No body attacked Russia. Putin "thought" there was a threat with no actual threat being made against Russia and acted offensively. It's despicable.
And due to all this russians will suffer. Loss of luxuries but loss of imports and exports. Loss of the things that clearly upset putin as he called it economic warfare when he spoke. So if it scares him it obviously scares his people. Some people in this video said Russia was already for them so I can't imagine how it is now. It's jsut sad the good people of Russia suffer along side the ukranians who suffer because of one man's terrible devastating decision. U can't act casual about hundreds of civilian deaths.

I'm from America, but I'm really interested in Russian culture because we hear so much about politics in the news, but I'm more curious about the everyday lives of civilians. I'm learning the language (it's hard, but I'm making progress!) and I really enjoy Russian classical music and have been looking up traditional recipes. In times like this, I feel we need to be aware that the government does not always share the same views as the population, and I'm always eager to learn more about the country!
@@accordingtosophia we are just normal people. Everyone acts like we are Vodka drinking bear riding communists. We are just normal people
People also think we can't speak English for some reason? But as you can see, we can. We are just normal people.
What about homosexual rights? Isn't Russia anti homosexual.
Arraik cruor. I agree, our country isn't an appropriate place for these types of people. On the other hand, most of our people don't give a damn about gays.
@@arraikcruor6407 We're, uh, very... Conservative when it comes to such matters. To be frank, publically pushing for stuff like same sex marriage or extreme gay rallies tend to be a reason for some conflict here because it is viewed as an attack on morals and family values, but if you just do your thing without bothering others, they won't bother you back.

OMFG THAT LAST PART FROM KOT LEOPOLD WAS. MY. CHILDHOOD.
In all seriousness, as the daughter of Russian immigrants, this video is really important to me. Russians are just like you, and life in Russia can actually be really really hard, because as one of the women said, they need to make life better for themselves. They have the same struggles, needs, and wants as Americans. "
So true and I completely agree with you. I myself moved to Sweden from Saint Petersburg with my family when I was little, so Im pretty much swedified, but being of russian decent can bring so much negativity and hate your way even though you never ever did anything bad to anyone. It takes a lot to be respected and not judged and all the mistakes our forfathers and goverment has made is automatically our fault. No its not, thats why these kinds of videos are great because they show that there is more than one side to russia and that people and government are not always alike.
Valeriable same here in France. I'm half French, half Russian, born in Paris with a French name and it doesn't stop me from being classified as "Russian". This means getting constantly harassed, judged etc
Denis Richard for real? This is awful. I never know about harassment in the world if you partly Russian. Can u tell more about it? And what do think about this?
TheBaseFilms it is when in the metro you speak Russian and people stare at you with a mean look/change seat/tell you that you are a fuckin Ruski while nobody bothers about the guy talking Cambodian on the phone. It is when during the Skripal affair you get remarks like "you and your people will all be poisoned". It is when you make a mistake in French class and the teacher tells you to go back to Russia, even though you are French. It is when you get the "tell Putin to buy me a ticket" joke more than twice a day, every day, from May to June, right before the World Cup. It is my mother not finding a job in a Western company for 2 years because you see, Russian women are whores..... Etc
Denis Richard looks like German in 1930’s and their attitude to Jews, terrible.

This video def. opened my eyes about Russia. Thank you for the positivity. I felt like there was so much negativity portrayed throughout media when it comes to politics and the mass of Russia. I didnt want to think that Russians were close-minded and rude people. I def. agree with the cat at the end of the video: it's best to get along with each other :)
Igor Zorin I'm not sure but the videos I've seen such as news reports and interviews were all negative against Russia/ portray them as rude. I think it's because of the differences in politics and the media can be a bit bias :/
Jennie Xu It stems back from the Cold War. If people don’t like a country’s government, they’ll always ask “but what about the people”...however, if you can manipulate people into believing most people are bad and deserve bad things.... you can justify anything politically.
It’s decades old with them. Another example is the war in Iraq: the population was dehumanized leading up to the Iraq War to justify war in the country along with the imaginary weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein was bad, but would people agree with bombing people halfway across the world if they saw their humanity? No...
Iranians and the Chinese are also ridiculed,demonized for political reasons...
I applause to you, calls a whole nation close minded yet didn't want to do a 5 minute research about the mentioned country outside of sources that are made to demonize that country. Are all westerners like that?
Jennie Xu
That's why the "right wingers" always call western media "fake news". Because they are. Their job is to work for the interests of the western elite (corporations and banks). Russia is more or less a sovereign state with their own brains and stand in the plans of the elite for world domination, that's why Russia is portrayed as evil. Seriously, stop watching the media. Clear your brain from this garbage if you want to do a favor for yourself. If you want to know anything about a country, just pack your luggage and go for a trip, or ask those people who went to that country. Don't watch the news! Cheers!
Edgar Rätsep I never said that Russia is close- minded. I am just saying that where I am from, the news media always portrayed it that way. I'm saying that this video was very interactive with Russians which is something I dont often see on the news. I hope you understand.

And what did we learn from this video? It's the younger people who don't care about politital differences, who want to move forward from bad history, it's the young generation that wants peace, no matter in what country they live in. Yet, it's old people who rule those countries.
Maka chan Russian youth is not comparable to American youth. I mean we all want peace and reconciliation, but Americans and Russians (and Eastern Europeans in general) think differently. I can confirm, I am from Southeastern Europe, was in Russia, and Western ideals are disliked by a vast majority of people.
Maka chan there was a literal old man in the video talking about peace so clearly you learned nothing
Unrelentless Peice of Fangirl well he certainly wasn’t young
Maka chan same with most countries I guess
Maka Chan! Yuuri On Ice lover,eh?

Another myth about Russians that can be debunked: every Russian is either very rude or very loud.

I’m not American or Russian, but this is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. It’s crazy how politics can make it look like two countries are going to war. I’ve only been to Russia once, and I made a friend there who is probably the best person I’ve ever met. I’ve been to America, to visit some family, and also made amazing friends there. Both of these countries are not what they seem. They are full of kind and mostly welcoming people, and all we need in the end is for everyone to simply have a chat with each other. Put one person from every country beside each other and they’re bound to become the best of friends. What I see is people, not politics.
Well said. Governments, even in democracies, are not representative of the people. I think we all just want to live in safety and love our friends and family no matter where we’re from. Traveling makes you realize that we are not that different from each other- even if we live on opposite sides of the world, speak different languages, follow different religions… We’re all just people trying to get through our day.

It might seem like (overseas Chinese) being treated worse, but the foreigner treatment is a special treatment. Foreigners are seen as guests, while overseas Chinese are just Chinese who have lost touch with China.
South Koreans and Japanese are still highly treated as foreigners even though they are East Asian, due to their isolation from China.

This makes me so happy to see! I have always loved Russia's beauty and language. Not only are the city's and buildings are beautiful but the people are too. I am an American and growing up I was always told how America and Russia do not get along or like eachother. Shoot, even still to this day people shame me or question me in a disgust tone as to why I want to visit there or why do I like it there. And I am 27 now... You ran into great people there who had nice things to say. Sadly I do not think that you would get the same positive feedbacks. Because I did get the chance to talk to one Russian over email who still lives there and he told me that it's the same over there. Russians are told bad things about us in the same way Americans hear about them. And he told me that many Russians has not nice things to say about us because of what they have always been told. If I could travel to one place, it would be to Russia. But I have believed that my dream will never come true. Plus I don't speak any Russian and had a VERY hard time trying to learn on my own. I don't have anyone to teach me and didnt have the option to learn when I was in school. So I have given up on my dreams to visit Russia one day and I only get to visit there with listening to their music and watching videos or seeing pictures. But this video here has spark my dream and wish to go there again. Now I feel like I must make sure to visit there one day and I must find a friend to come with me. Would love to meet a friend who is Russian and speaks English to translate for me and teach me some Russian language. Or to at least find an American who is fluent with Russia and can do the same. Thank you so much for bringing my dream back and for making this video!
Let there be love between America and Russia. I hope the countries can be friends one day soon!

I think Russians don't really care about foreigners but like not in a bad way. They just don't seem interested 😂 When I was there I did get a few strange looks from the elders but I think that was just because they are not used to seeing foreigners. It's a beautiful place and if you're thinking about visiting you absolutely should.
I think it's more of a generational thing. when I visited St. Petersburg a few years ago, I was treated like dirt by the older folks simply for being American. keep in mind that my family is from the former Soviet Union, and we all speak Russian. when older people found out we were visiting from the US, they acted like we were traitors to the motherland. young people (Millennials), on the other hand, were very accepting and kind and actually treated us like humans.
@@eliza1826 🙄 Again
@@englishstudent2810 why not
@@eliza1826 yes, of course 😕
русским просто пофигу на всех, даже на самих себя(((
Russian simply don't care on all, even on themselves(((

You cannot delete them from history
frengt terma Obviously they’re talking about nowadays... Forget the past
@@frengtterma4102 so now you have to blame modern germany for world war? What the point? Its only history! Git gud and go forward
@@frengtterma4102 she said “there is”, not “there was”.
There *was* a country called Soviet Russia, but there *is* no country called Soviet Russia, only Russian Federation.
Lots of love from India to Russia❤️🇮🇳
YOU'RE SOOOO LUCKY I'M RUSSIAN BUT NEVER BEEN TO RUSSIA BUT I LOVED THIS VIDEO
The Cookie Legend same ): I’ve always spoken fluent Russian in KENTUCKY until I started school
Russian but never been to Russia. Nice
- AtomiKaL - Yeah, it's happens . Because I'm Russian, but I live in Lithuania and went to Russian speaking school, but I never had a chance to visit Russia.
TheFlamingTorpedo I've been to England though 😏
The Cookie Legend me too, I have been in Ohio my whole life
I like this guy. Buzzfeed should let him host more content.
This video made me cry
Pozdrowienia z Polski dla Rosjan 💜😭
💖💖💖
Shut up. Poland hate Russia
@@ЛераПарфоменко It`s not their fault that their gov brainwashing them. I like Polish musicians, lots of quality stuff there.
@@statusquo9520 as russian I can say that were still should be responsible for choosing this kinda government, cuz theres still a lot of conservative views walking around russia this days. Hopefully it will change with the new generation, cuz we have internet and it gives us a lot more freedom of speech and opinions (that government really afraid of)
I’ve always respected the Russian people and especially their military. Some of the most badass and toughest warriors💪
why did this make me cry? - because - I know we are capable of so much more. - Stop the hate - make plans to visit other other peoples, other places, so that you may SEE and hear first hand. That others are not so different, OR filled with hatred.
As a Russian person I just want to thank you sincerely for this positive video. We are indeed open-minded and we are sick of propaganda. Thank you so much
2:39 the way she said "slipknot" 😭
Not all the people know how to pronounce this, unfortunately. The English teaching is quite poor in Russia. And some people know the right pronuciation but still use the wrong one just because they're used to it
My cousin married a Russian woman from St. Petersburg. She is very friendly, shares Russian culture, and treats her American friends to Russian cooking. This video shows how friendly Russians are.
A follow-up update to this video would very interesting.
Awwwe the last clip. Also, wow an actually positive video about Russia? 😅 I was getting a little nervous about all the Soviet Russia jokes I was about to endure in the video and comments
Would love to hear from some of them now
Alyasha, everything is still basically the same. Some people are a little crazy or nervous, but because they watch too much TV. The same as in the USA, I think. Russians are great friends for everyone, we just don’t like it when they put pressure on us, and we don’t leave other Russians in trouble (and actually not only Russians). So it is very sad to see how the world feeds on propaganda and behaves extremely unethically, and sometimes rudely, violates contractual relations, does not respect business relations at all. This speaks volumes. That culture, valor and honor which we read and heard about which were in Europe - it no longer exists. But it doesn't mean that we are the same that we are ready to just turn our backs to people when trouble comes. We never do that.
@@HISPEEDLEVEL I mean bombing a children's hospital and refusing the believe when ur son calls u from Ukraine and says he's been bombed and saying "no thays propaganda,Russian news says diffrently" is not exactly helping fellow humans out. My heart hurts for the Russian soldiers ,the young ones who didn't know they were being used as cannon fodder until too late. Who r just pawns. Who have called family crying and been videos being fed by ukranians. Reports just like this of China publics opinion and every country in the world are alike in so many ways. All except Russia. So Russia is the only truthful news? Makes no sense. But it easier to convince men of lies then it is to convince them they have been lied too. As an American who's government lies to me often once the lies r revealed it is shocking but it has also allowed me to learn how to find better unbiased ,independent news that shows more than one side of things. Russian people don't have that option and even get arrested right now for silly things that every other place sees as normal basic rights to speak against something bad ur government does. Protesters who r jsut walking being arrested. Atleast here protesters have to be violent to be arrested most of the time. 15 year sentence for speaking against the war. Whole TV stations walking off set an announcing it because they can't stand to report false news the government wants them too. I've seen the footage of babies in ICU beds stuck in basements in bad conditions. A little boy who's parents were killed. By Russian attacks walking by himself into Poland crying alone. This day and age there's no justifiable reason for any government to do this. So what if nato borders Russia? If they aren't interfering then what are they hurting by existing as neighbors? Nothing. Now if nato crossed into Russia or started "peacefully " getting rid of Russian gov I would see a reason for Russia to invade or retaliate. But nothing was done except for natos insolvent in places that were known to not be Russia years ago. It makes no sense to have "military operations " I'm ukraine when the majority of ukraine wants free of Russia. If someone in ukraine wants Russian gov then they could just go and live in Russia. If I disliked my government enough I would move to another place . It's logical. Ppl do it all the time. Now the ukranians are forced to be refugees and lose loved ones and hopefully go home to ukraine when Russia is done bothering them and then what do they get to go home too? Destruction and chaos. No body attacked Russia. Putin "thought" there was a threat with no actual threat being made against Russia and acted offensively. It's despicable.
And due to all this russians will suffer. Loss of luxuries but loss of imports and exports. Loss of the things that clearly upset putin as he called it economic warfare when he spoke. So if it scares him it obviously scares his people. Some people in this video said Russia was already for them so I can't imagine how it is now. It's jsut sad the good people of Russia suffer along side the ukranians who suffer because of one man's terrible devastating decision. U can't act casual about hundreds of civilian deaths.
I've so many russian friends and they're super cool
Sometimes politics really change the way how u view a person... That's really sad
Politics really ruin our lives
Когда начали отвечать на вопросы про музыку,казалось,что это 2008
More videos like this!!!
This actually changed my view on Russia lol. Have more respect for them
Hopefully the negative stigma we've learned fades away do to prejudices. Unfortunately the media and government controls what we know.
@@MajiaMexicana The media in the US isn’t controlled by the governement by any means, but a Russian told me that in Russia the government controls the media and tells their citizens that we America hate them
Thank you for making this video man!
