      @@civzation471 I don't think that this will be Putin's end. Russia is a police state. Their police receive a pretty good salary in relation of the normal Russian income. They will never allow to overturn Putin and his administration.
      Putin will fall, when his young generation refuse to fight for autocratic Russian regime. The question is, are young Russians courageous enough to stay their man OR will they do as they told and die in Ukraine.

      The name “military tattoo” dates back to the 17th century. It is from the phrase “doe den tap toe”, which translates into “turn off the tap”. The phrase refers to a signal made by trumpeters and drummers to announce to in-keepers by military garrisons to stop giving soldiers beers so they can return to the barracks

    In the U.K. it’s called a military tattoo. The most famous one being the Edinburgh Military Tattoo which takes place during the Edinburgh Festival. The term comes from the early 17th-century Dutch phrase doe den tap toe, a signal sounded by drummers or trumpeters to instruct innkeepers near military garrisons to stop serving beer and for soldiers to return to their barracks and is unrelated to the Tahitian origins of an ink tattoo.

Hope Depressed Russian is doing fine, and hope she stayed in S. Petersburg for a stay. She seemed so unhappy in the far east. Be well Niki, and hope things do not change too much in coming weeks. But would still consider schooling overseas if you can. Who knows what the future holds of citizens of Russia, or what Putin may say in his speech, as I do now wish you in any war or operation so to speak. TY

    Russia has come a long way from what I recall living in East Germany until 1951. We went to West Germany a few months before the wall went up. It is in the past. Let it rest. I am glad to see that life in Russia is modern and up to date. Hopefully you can get this present problem resolved and life can be brighter for all of us. Stay safe!

      "Life in Russia is modern and up to date". Surely you only have to see a few places in Moscow to say such a thing. How wrong you are... Most of Russia is living even worse than in the Soviet Union. For some people, a modern day toilet is considered a luxury. But even in Moscow itself, everything is just made for the show. Like you have seen these scyscrapers were made just a few kilometers away from a massive amount of poor soviet buildings.

    I landed in Moscow in 1976 on an Aeroflot plane with my American high school trip and the quick descent hurt my ear so bad that it resulted in a busted ear drum. Can’t swim to the bottom of the deep end anymore or deep sea dive but the experience was still incredible. How many people visited Russia during the 70’s? Not many. Went to Moscow, Kiev (yes that Kiev) and Leningrad (yes it was called Leningrad not St. Petersburg). Saw Lenin in his tomb but it was a glass room outside of the Kremlin and they hit us with batons if we put our hands in our pockets (it was cold) because it was considered disrespectful but we didn’t know what the problem was!

      I visited Russia in the early 80 s , when I was a kid, Leningrad, Moscow etc. Im from Sweden, not very far from Russia, even have Russian descent like 150 years ago. Anyway, it was a culture chock and I remember there was not very much on the shelfs in the store. Maybe its diffrent nowadays, more modern but I wouldn't visit because I dont want to support Putins regim and visit the country etc. But I do beleive the general Russian person is very nice and goodhearted...

    About the tattoo thing, tattoo is one of those confusing English words that has two totally different meanings. In this case it doesn’t mean a tattoo like you have on your body, but a military tattoo, which is like a performance or display featuring military bands, often from all over the world, where they march and play drums, bagpipes, etc. It is a pretty obscure term really, but they are quite popular in some parts of Europe and Especially the U.K.
    And great channel by the way, as a westerner today it is so weird to see just how similar Russia is in so many ways.
