Brother, you nailed it about Russia. Im a 62 year old man, retired army, retired Lutheran Pastor, My fiancé is a 57 year old Doctor who had been a Captain in the Soviet Army. When I traveled to Yekaterinburg where she lives I could not believe how clean the city was. very very little graffiti, no wierdos on the street, but the safety, I could not believe it. I have a conceal and carry weapon license for my state. my pistol goes wherever I go and most men at my Church were also armed. My Fiance and I would walk about a mile through the forest to get to Church and there were young women walking alone in this place. I asked my Fiance, how can this be, but she said, don't worry nothing will happen to them. For a Westerner you are also correct about the groceries, We filled up a grocery basket at the store and it was about $85. In the US this would have cost me $380 to $400. I looked at her gas and electric bill for the month and I asked, is this for a day. I'm not overexaggerating, her gas was about $& and her electric was about $15 for a month. No cost for water. In my town my water bill alone is $250 a month, my gas $85 a month, my electric depending on the month will be between $230 to $550 a month and garbage is $45 a month. But the food tasted so different. I took me a month to get used to it. I was not used to food that was not artificially colored and full of hormones and chemicals. The only thing I do not like, and this is because of the sanctions, but I have to physically carry my money into the country. I could go on and on but I am going back this December to get married, my furniture is already sold, then I will come back and sell my house which has doubled in price in 7 years. I am going to the land where the only place I see a rainbow is in the sky and not flying above my own countries flag. You nailed it brother. .
In the USSR, gas, water, and electricity were almost free. Education, medicine, and housing were definitely free and of a high standard. The state paid for everything. That's what I call a superpower. It was a social state of the highest order. There was nothing even close to this in terms of social security and social protection in other countries. Russians obviously remember this well and know that it is possible in principle. And Western people have been accustomed for centuries to a model where you have to pay for everything yourself, and they have been throwing mud at the USSR all the time.
Alternative to carrying cash into the country is crypto. The fees do eat away some small percentage though, but it's an option. Also, it's better to use the bigger platforms that have a good reputation.
Know that we really appreciate newcomers in Russia, if they dont spread hate, lgbt blm propaganda, basically anything that is socially destructive. Russian people think this way: if you are kind and respectful to others, they will be kind and respectful to you in turn.
Oh, I haven't heard so many kind words about my country for a long time!) Thanks, bro!🤝 Russia is not an ideal country, but if you value good human relations, then you will like it here!) Welcome to all the good people!🖐️❤️
There is no ideal country, I live in the Netherlands which is one of the wealthiest and safest in the world, and this society is sick in its own way. No country is perfect.
I love most their Patriotism, Traditions, sense of History with love and passion. Hauntingly beautiful music, Gregorian chorals, Ensembles, Orchestra, Folk Songs, War Songs and yes also Revolutionary music that is buynd to move you deeply. So are the Russian and Soviet movies which carry high humanistic values. And off course about everything you just praised. Never seen so many beutifully feminine dressed Women in any other county. May Father Moroz Bless you soon.
please, Gregorian chorals are Catholic, we have our own Orthodox church with Greek based tradition in singing initially, then Italian and German secular music influences, then purely Russian classical tradition developed
@@ЕваХаритонова-ц6л "Gregorian chorals are Catholic" That' s how superficial western reporters have changed that into ALL Church chorals, relted to Russia, with a wide Brush. So pardon my ignorance not looking deeper into that chorals topic.
There so called Patriotism is more like Imperialism and they lost there true Christian traditions right after the Soviet revolution there Neo Pagans and their history is cool but it's cheap they tricked other nations for most of there history the Russian Empire for example was a Knock off or replacement of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth which was a power for 300 years
The people who are moving to Russia are smart. They are getting a better value for the buck, and it's a beautiful place. Russia is not a perfect country, and neither one exists. People need to look beyond the mainstream media narrative, do their own research, and go see it for themselves. This RUclipsr, not sure of his name, is right.
One piece of advice in learning Russian or most any language is build a vocabulary. Most people will know what you are talking about. Grammer and other norms related to comprehension will eventually become apparent.
@@Freeliner75 If we imagine a situation where Asia becomes more attractive than Europe economically, in terms of security, etc. (which seems to be the case now) - the question of choosing a place to live becomes acute for a European. I don't think Russian is harder to learn than Chinese, for example. But I could be wrong.
@@End0fst0ry You are absolutely right. The more so that a Russian sentence can have ANY word order. And many English speakers who moved to Russia have already studied Russian, some of them even without attending special courses.

Russia is a hell hole of poverty, despair, and oppression. It has the highest suicide rate in the world other than Soweto. male life expectancy is 64 due to alcoholism, drug addiction, and AIDS. 25% of Russian homes don’t have indoor toilets are running water. 60% of Russian families spend more than 50% of their income on food and must spend the summer growing food on private plots in order to survive. Russia is the most Backwood of any developed country, and in many respects is a Third World country. 12.5 million Russians have left the country since 1991 million have left in the last three years. when the oil runs out so does Russia.
I also forgot to say that my fiance fills out a postcard on her own for her taxes. I have to use an accountant each year and my property taxes went up $400 this year so I am honored to pay $9300 in property taxes this year just to the state not even counting the federal Government.. No more I am done with it.
I read your other comment. If I were you, I would consider renting out my house in the USA. In Russia, you will live on this money without denying yourself anything. At the same time, the property in the USA will be preserved.
It's crazy. Our property taxes in Russia are like $150 a year (for 800 sq flat). Insurance is about the that as well. Our small US house in a low tax state is $3k per year.
Hello from Russia. Guys, I can explain to you why there is such a difference between Russia and the USA. Russia is a historically formed state. The Russian people created it on their lands, then gradually expanded the territory to the south and east, involving other peoples, but not destroying them, but preserving them. The USA is the opposite case. It is an artificially created state of the Anglo-Saxons on foreign lands. They seized these lands and killed almost all the local inhabitants. And then they built an ideal corporation for making money. Therefore, Russia and the USA have different goals. In Russia, the goal is to improve the life of its people. And in the USA it is to make money for the richest. And everything else is based on this. Why do 99% of people in Russia own real estate, while in the USA the percentage is very low? Because in the USA rich people earn money by renting housing, so they have been lobbying for such a system in construction for many decades, so that it would be very expensive to buy real estate. Or why in Russia there is a washing machine in every house, while in the USA there are common washing rooms? Again, it's about money, this is how they earn money. And so on.
Hello, I lived in Russia for seven years, I love Russia and Russians but your take on the history of the USA, compared to Russia, is totally wrong. Russian history is very similar to America's...a large proud Christian nation with a giant frontier to settle and a destiny to change the World. Russia conquered more land than America and killed far more to do so (far denser population centers back then), which I have no problem with. People own property at high rates in Russia because even the poorest were given a flat by the end of the CCCP. America is not designed to improve the lives of its own people, just make them money, what are you talking about, in America the lives are too improved, obesity and boredom from easy desk work, etc, being huge issues. The natives of America (Indians) today have recovered their numbers to several million, about the same as were in North America before Columbus came. America and Russia need to focus on the vast list of things that unite us, not artificially create cheap divisions. I love Russia and Russians and want America and Russia to once again become friends. Trump maybe can do it.
@@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf The Population of the 500 Nations, of North America was estimated at 40 Million towards the End of the Pre Columbian Period. They have bounced back to 22 Million of today. That includes mixed marriages with Status Indian, according to the Indian Affairs Office in Ottawa 2019, for Canada & USA. "Russia killed far more to do so" No, Russia did not , all Treaty's with the Nenets, Yakuts, Bashkirs, Tartars, Tuvans Mongols and so on, were largely respected, the famines of the early and late 1920's after the Bolshevik Revolution took place in Western Russia. In Siberia there where only famines after the Siberian Japanese occupation, by displaced Families, and far less than in the West of Russia. Anyway I like your general take on Relations, and gave you a Thumbs up.
@@ernstwiltmann6 I agree that Russia has gone to great lengths to preserve its far northern and Siberian tribes, the identities of the Tatars, Udmurts, etc, are still flourishing, but the population centers Russia conquered, to become what it is today, were larger than what was in North America at that time, so there is no way Russia killed less people to form its borders. Again, I have no problem with Yekaterina taking the South from Islam, or Ivan taking Kazan, etc. I do have a problem with falsely painting the foundation of the Russian State as something far more virtuous than that of the Unites States, which is ridiculous thing to even quantify. You are obviously very smart and thank you for the reply.
@@ernstwiltmann6 Again, America and Russia are far more alike than Russia and Europe. I think we share far more in common than not, and I look forward to a future alliance. China wants Siberia after all.
I am 25 and am learning russian for two reasons. One, my fathers grandfather was russian, my fathers grandmother was polish. I am white and not afraid to care about my heritage and lean about the history of my family. Two, yeah i am somewhere between centrist and conservative, leaning more toward conservative. Russia seems to be the only place where, basically speaking, regular straight white americans can be themselves. It is wild how the “popular” opinion in america seems so against the key demographic of the country. I would argue its not actually the popular opinion, its just the promoted opinion and the vast majority who feel this way are suppressed on social media and such
Welcome, pal! If someone told me in my soviet childhood, that american people would like to move to Russia - i rather thought it's insane But for now... I can't and won't judge what the situation in the west countries, sure there are a lots of pro and cons, but honestly here in Russia there are a lots of changes for last 10-20 years, i can't recognize some parts of my own city - Krasnodar, how beautifuil it became. Just google Krasnodar park, to get some view.
>I am white and not afraid to care about my heritage >regular straight white americans can be themselves If you plan on moving into Russia - all this bs exactly is what I recommend you to drop first thing
It’s much simpler, man. Right now Russia has a higher quality of living for ordinary people, than US. It was just opposite for 10 years ago, but things have changed.

To be honest, I am always surprised by the fact that Americans leave the USA, I always thought that Americans are some of the most patriotic people on this planet. But anyway, welcome. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.
America is being slowly taken over by Bolskevek's as the Left holds the majority influence over all major social institutions. Those who advocate for traditional values or Conservatism are labeled as 'deplorables' by some or domestic terrorists by the current Administration. A good example of the double standard is Jan 6 compared to the 100 days of riots following the death of George Floyd. The latter was a 1000x more severe but hardly is mentioned while Jan 6 is brought up on a daily bases.
The UsA elite hate the Christian’s white people. Everybody can see they work against this group. Look the ilegal immigration. Is to make the country less Christianity.
People used to be patriotic, and some are still, but even among family which always said America was #1, never cared to even leave the country in their life, etc, they've now become disillusioned and think the USA is in decline and is not the best place, that it's been taken over by outsiders and criminal bureaucrats. They have hope Trump will change this, but even have begun to believe it's simply over for the USA.
Немецкий философ Вальтер Шубарт О РУССКИХ «Западноевропейский человек рассматривает жизнь, как рабыню, которой он наступил ногой на шею… Он не смотрит с преданностью на небо, а, полный властолюбия, злыми враждебными глазами глядит вниз, на землю. Русский человек одержим не волей к власти, а чувством примирения и любви. Он исполнен не гневом и ненавистью, а глубочайшим доверием к сущности мира. Он видит в человеке не врага, а брата». Англичанин хочет видеть мир - как фабрику, француз - как салон, немец - как казарму, русский, - как церковь. Англичанин хочет добычи, француз - славы, немец - власти, русский - жертвы. Англичанин хочет наживаться от ближнего, француз - импонировать ближнему, немец - командовать ближним, а русский ничего от него не хочет. Он не желает превращать ближнего в свое средство. Это братство русского сердца и русской идеи. И это есть Евангелие будущего. Русский всечеловек есть носитель нового солидаризма. Прометеевский человек уже обречен смерти. Наступает эпоха Иоанновского человека - человека любви и свободы. Таково будущее русского народа. Запад движим неверием, страхом и себялюбием; русская душа движима верою, покоем и братством. Именно поэтому будущее принадлежит России… У европейца - человек человеку волк, всяк за себя, всяк сам себе бог; поэтому все против всех и все против Бога; и героичность его есть очень часто эксцесс себялюбия и гордости - личной или национальной. Это корыстный и хищный героизм. Европеец доволен, когда ему завидуют, и терпеть не может, чтобы его жалели, - это унижение. Поэтому он скрытен, притворяется, чопорен, чванлив и театрально надут - и когда русский это видит, то у него щемит на сердце. Русский подходит к своему ближнему непосредственно и тепло. Он сорадуется и сострадает. Он всегда склонен к расположению и доверию. Быстро сближается. Он естествен, и в этом его шарм. Он прост, интимен, склонен к откровенности, стремится быть полезным. Новый человек Европы не заметил, как он прошел через иудаизацию христианства и утратил и Бога и Христа. В России иное понимание Евангелия. Русские были христианами до своего обращения в христианство. Поэтому христианство распространилось в России не мечом, как у Карла Великого, а само, легко и быстро - избранием. Русское сердце было открыто не Ветхому, а именно Новому Завету. Так оно и осталось; в русской душе есть данные, делающие русского человека самым верным сыном Христа. Вот откуда русская национальная идея: спасение человечества придет из России. Это самая глубокая и самая широкая национальная идея из всех, имеющихся у других народов. Основная социальная идея русского народа такова: общество как церковь, как духовная общность, как свободное многообразие в любовном единстве, как мистическое Тело Христа… И ещё замечательно, что русское безбожие - иное, чем на Западе: оно не холодное сомнение, не безразличие, а огненный вызов Богу, трепещущее кощунство, восстание, жалоба на Бога, может быть, тоска по утерянном Боге. Самое безбожие носит у русских характер религиозного неистовства. И самое понимание Евангелия в России иное, чем на Западе: западное христианство болеет властолюбием - оно насильственно обращает в христианство, это воинственное, милитаризованное учение о Боге, дающем победу; это искажение Евангелия Ветхим Заветом и естественный переход от Ветхого Завета к безбожию… Можно сказать, что европеец - человек дела, а русский - человек души и сердца. И Европа есть страна деловитости, а Россия есть родина души. Душевный человек вчувствуется в ближнего и воспринимает его интуитивно и чутко; ему не важно происхождение, образование, партийность, профессия, титул и орден. И замечательно, когда неевропеец впервые приезжает в Россию, он бывает приятно изумлен и обрадован; а когда русский впервые приезжает в Европу - то он чувствует себя отрезвленным и разочарованным. Кто узнает русского лично - тот полюбит его. Пока европейца знаешь по его заслугам - до тех пор он тебе импонирует. Русский человек, может быть, и плохой делец, но братский чело
Очень интересно. Спасибо за такой комментарий. Подтверждаю слова немецкого философа. Год живу в Европе (Греция, Крит). Хотя здесь еще довольно сильны семейные традиции. Но, вопрос времени. Страна НАТО. Если бы я не вышла замуж за гражданина этой страны, я бы ни за что не уехала из России. И в принципе, в Душе я думаю, что я вернусь на Родину. Не могу представить ситуацию, что умру на чужбине.

For real. In Russia u can freely say that youre not gay and don't want to be. Not to mention in Russia kids always go to school freely without having to fear getting shot at by a school polluter
I can say that the window of opportunity for moving from Western countries to Russia can close at any moment. When these are large numbers, you can be sure that your governments will close it tightly. They are already making such moves difficult. For example, it is forbidden to transport euros from Europe to Russia. They may also not issue some of the necessary documents. But do not forget that now, due to the difference in currencies between the dollar, euro and ruble, a Westerner can easily buy housing in Russia and open a business. But this dollar bubble can burst at any moment. Even now, not all dollars are accepted for exchange in Russia, but only the latest series in perfect condition. What will happen in 2-3 years is unknown.
@@ГалинаБрагина-п2т it is the European Union which has put a ban on taking Euros from EU to Russia. (Note, I am not saying I agree with this). But you can take Dollars or UK £ although anything over $10,000 cash must be declared on entry to Russia.
The claim that Russia had no freedom is absurd and hinges on 2 things as far as I understand - 1) you can not spew rude statements against the government and 2) you can not run with bare naked ass out in the open. So what? What is the point of voting out PMs in Britain every year if nothing changes anyway. And how is UK a free country if you literally have no freedom of movement in the night coz it is so dmn unsafe

But I am also glad that Americans and Europeans come to our country, welcome. Greetings from Western Siberia, Russia.
living in city (like capital of region) and working mid-level software engineer in Moscow remotely you can easily buy one-bedroom apartment every year. Without any mortage. And you will have a quality of live close to that of Moscow. And in some areas even higher than in Moscow, for example, the quality of food, time in transportation, ecology. That's why you're not in a rat race loop.
Well, in general it's like that, beyond the individual details. Ah yes, there are also national republics like Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia. The laws of the Russian Federation also apply there, but since these are predominantly muslim republics, they have their own specifics and peculiarities. Europeans are usually not comfortable living there on a permanent basis.
Because of that European can choose any other region and Muslims can choose Muslim regions of Russia. Yeah, also Asians and Buddhist can choose Kalmikia or Buryatiya for living. And Muslim regions of Russia are very different. For example in the Tatarstan or in The Bashkortostan you can wear anything you want, you can find alcohol, pork and a lot of pubs or night clubs. Chechnya and Ingushetia are more Islamic regions. So don't worry and don't afraid and just choose what you want.
We have many more ethnical republics and regions which just like all other russian regions are multinational and multireligious, and where people live in mutual respect, friendship and support. It's all just a regular ordinary thing in Russia.

In Russia much more freedom and order now than in any otger countries! It is very different country than 10 years ago.👍 its clean, safe and cheap. We have canadian, australian, enlish german migrants who living in Russia pretty well😉
One big thing is that people here don't call the cops unless all other options are exhausted. If you misbehave in any way - you'll be warned a dozen times before things escalate. And cops themselves come to DO THEIR JOB. They're no babysitters nor psychiatrists. If they were called for nothing - the person calling will get in trouble (nothing serious but still). Such norm means that people will usually try to settle any conflicts on human-to-human level. And this common sense buffer is something US lacks greatly, where "I'll call the cops" and "I know my rights" is heard on daily basis.
@Alexxxxander Moscow will be the only city you can live a good life in besides st.petersburg moscow and st.pete are a bubble that doesn't really show what Russia really is the other 98% of Russia is people who live like it's the 16th century in huts in Siberia made out of wood and hay
I'm am British living in UK and retired and am seriously considering a move to Russia. I visited Russia in May this year and enjoyed every minute. Fabulous country and fabulous people.
Russia is a paradise for Western retirees due to the difference in exchange rates. By receiving a pension from the West and living in Russia, retirees can enjoy a very high standard of living (about 4-5 times greater than in their home country). If these retirees, in addition to their pension, earn income from renting their property in the West and spend the funds they receive in Russia, they will live like millionaires. This is not a joking matter. But I don't think this situation will last long. If the economic situation in the United States continues to worsen and the dollar's exchange rate against the ruble continues to fall, then the standard of living for Western pensioners in Russia may also decrease...
The rouble is falling to over 100 roubles to 1 usd. This is going to fuel the migration to Russia as retirees on a us pension or social security will live better than doctors and engineers. Russia needs to target this wealth and hopefully can secure Chinese migration away from the west as well.

I would like to explain why it may be beneficial for Westerners to consider moving to Russia at this time. However, this only applies to those who have their own property. The fact is, the exchange rate between the American dollar (and other western currencies) and the Russian ruble is currently very favorable. The Russian government intentionally lowers the value of the ruble in order to make more of their products and services more affordable for foreign buyers. For example, with $100, you can purchase 5-6 times more goods and services in Russia than in the US. If you sell your home in the US, you could potentially buy 5-6 homes in Russia (which would likely be made of stone, instead of plywood like in the US). This means that after selling your home and moving to Russia, you could purchase a beautiful stone home, a large piece of land, and still have funds left over for your own business endeavors.
Ты заблуждаешься. Не все дома в США стоят по миллиону долларов. Есть дома которые стоят 100 тысяч долларов. А это 10 миллионов рублей. Как раз на один дом в России денег хватит. Не все американцы долларовые миллионеры как ты думаешь. Всего 40% американцев имеют жилье в собственности, а остальные живут в арендованном жилье. Большинство американцев живут от зарплаты до зарплаты и у них кроме автомобиля ничего нет. А подержанный автомобиль в США можно продать примерно за 5 тысяч долларов. Этого хватит только на переезд в Россию и первые несколько месяцев жизни. Не все так прекрасно и радужно в США, как показывают в Голливудских фильмах.

There was talks everywhere about Russia selling natural resources and importing food. I remember, how few years ago Russia banned food imports from EU.

It seems there's more for you to understand about Russia's history, particularly regarding the millions who were forcibly relocated to Siberia. I'd suggest reading up on the harrowing experiences, including accounts of mothers resorting to making soup from deceased children to feed the surviving ones. and why was that in my recommended is what I would like to know.
It's not dangerous at all to visit if you come as a tourist and not to the areas bordering Ukraine, where Ukrainian drones are shot down at night. It may be more difficult to get a visa in today's situation. And it's better to come in spring or summer, winter is not to everyone's liking. There is no discrimination against USA citizens.
It is most certainly not dangerous, they would take an interest in you conversationally if you prove to not be a typically dimwitted North American, but dangerous? Most certainly not.
you really should visit Russia just to overcome all those propaganda bias inspired by your mass media. Honestly, it would not be easy just to come and find your place in Russia since lingua franca here is Russian and not English, and that can be a serious problem. But if you are an IT person - that simplifies things a lot since majority of Russian IT companies are English-speaking. Definitely you will lose in an absolute salary. USD 3000 is a normal salary for a middle+ - senior grade of IT specialist here. But. You can afford - housing, services, fitness, kindergarten, education and so on which is times less expensive here.
I've been to Russia a few times. I no longer live in the USA. Left 7 years ago. I love living in Mexico now. If you want to leave the USA, then do it whenever it suits you. The world in a big place.
Any reason you chose Mexico now? I'm considering moving there or setting up a home base there as the residency is easy and the location is good, but I'm not a big fan of the cities I've been to. Thinking of trying out life in Chiapas or other less developed states.
i live a month on 100$ lol its 10.000rub.. i mean food for a month. 2$ per month hot water, 5$ cold water, 15-20$ electricity and thats a lot cuz i use computer 24/7 charge phone vape electric stove not gas, gas stove would be 10times cheaper. 1000$ rent... u should be a millionaire XD better take mortgage if u can pay that summ monthly. most of my friends who rents apartments in different cities pay between 150-350$ per month
it is not life cost only - the main reason is that Russia is a Common Sense country - where family and traditional values are considered more important than those... promoted in the Western countries
Inflation and currency deval is a chronic issue in Russia. You are correct in saying that IT guys can have a premium life in Russia because of the general deficit for such specialists (many fled during mobilization of 2022) and higher than average salaries since the times when globalization worked. In general there are many opportunities in Russia because war economy created many deficits in domestic specialist "market". But you will have troubles transferring assets in and out of the country because of the sanctions.
You're wrong about the prices. They rising up 10-20% per year now. Housing and rent maybe for less, but still going up. Food got up to 20% rise recently for past 4 months for several categories (butter and meat especially).
Whenever any of you consider moving to Russia please do not expect it to be easy! Expect it to be hard! Remember as somebody said: We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
You said a lot of things correctly, but not about prices, especially for apartments. since 2018, the cost of housing HAS DOUBLED + times! It is much more difficult to buy a house now. But now it is more affordable to buy a house 15-30km from the city. About food prices is also a nuance. Prices are rising. For example, today milk in a local producer's shop for some reason has risen in price by 8% The oil rose too. Yes, maybe they will go down after a while. But there are constant price fluctuations. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about stability here. but the fact that no one stably stabs on the street, does not litter, does not shit, and generally the most adequate - yes. We are like that.
На счет общего закона не совсем правда. Наша страна разделена на разные субъекты и республики могут иметь свою коституцию и собсвенный язык. В то время как края, области, города федерального значиения , автономные области и округа могут иметь свой устав и законодательство. Так что эта система всё же немного напоминает ту, что в сша (в плане различий в законе), однако она не настолько выраженная и вы действительно спокойно можете перемещаться по стране без проблем. Однако всё же советую хотя бы почитать про места, куда вы планируете отправится. Потому что народов у нас много и все разные, никогда не знаешь где можешь случано обидеть кого-то или вести себя неправильно. Всё-таки уважение друг к другу довольно важная вещь.
I've been to Russia. Not good. China was better. America is best. I've lived in many countries, mastered 6 languages. I live in America because it's the best place overall.
Вы правы, в России наиболее полная свобода слова, на мой взгляд, но есть неколько важных правил, у нас запрещена пропоганда ЛГБТ и childfree, вы не можете говорить того, что посорит народы, живущие в нашей стране, у нас 180 этносов, и мы должны, и хотим жить мирно вместе, также вы не можете задевать религиозные чувства других людей, у нас живут люди нескольких религий, и мы уважаем другие взгляды на религию, кроме сект и псевдопророков, еще нельзя во время проведения военных действий, делать информационные выпады в сторону нашей армии, это неправильно, можно умеренно и конструктивно покритиковать, но знать меру.
Another thing you didn't mention is a debt-free living. I do not know if that is higher interest rates or more careful approach from Russian banks, but I do not think that Russians are under that much debt pressure. As for the politics or freedoms: I like as one guy noticed that you will always feel most free in a country where you agree with the government's policies. I believe that most Russians are in harmony with their government thus they do not have to self-censor or feel too involved and be passionate about politics.
Since 1st September it has been easier than ever for the citizens of 47 Western allied countries to move to Russia. Just apply for the Shared Values Visa at the Russian Embassy/consulate.
Living expenses are not cheap here for locals. For example, my mother's pension is 180 dollars per month. Despite of free medical care and owning her property, she cannot afford her medicines. Family values are strong here because it is a way to survive in retirement.
Ваша мать пенсионер. А пенсионеры во всех странах живут не богато. Или вы думаете, что в США пенсионеры живут прекрасно? Средняя пенсия в США 1000-1200 долларов, а этого хватает только на еду и оплату жилья, если оно есть. Если у пенсионера в США, нет своего жилья, то на аренду квартиры ему денег не хватит и придется идти в дом престарелых. А молодые люди в России зарабатывают от 50 тысяч и выше, а это уже 500 долларов и можно жить. Тоже не богато конечно, но не хуже чем в США. Я жил в США, там средняя зарплата 3500 долларов. Аренда обычной двухкомнатной квартиры 2000 долларов, медицинская страховка 250 долларов, страховка на автомобиль 150, интернет 100, телефон 100, электричество 100, бензин 100. Остается 700 долларов. Этого хватает только на самую дешевую еду на месяц. А вы не представляете какая дрянь, самая дешевая еда в США. Взять хотя бы хлеб, состав: мука, вода, соль. А там на этикетке хлеба 5 строчек. Там вся таблица Менделеева. У нас в любой Пятерочке продукты в два раза лучше. У них нормальные продукты называются "Органик" и они не по карману обычным людям. Не нужно судить о США по Голливудским фильмам.
А куда идти российскому пенсионеру, если у него нет своего жилья? Проблемы жителей США меня не волнуют, тоже в курсе, что там не рай земной и деньги на пальмах не растут. Я только написал, что у нас тоже нифига не дёшево, если учитывать уровень доходов и что традиционные ценности это привычный способ выживания, так как нет надежды на государство. Там по крайне мере реальная стабильность (без смены режимов, войн, деноминаций, заморозки вкладов, гиперинфляции обесценивания денег), при которой могут работать накопительные пенсионные программы типа 401к и roth ira.
@@vz5835 Да уж. Там стабильность. Без гиперинфляции, заморозки вкладов, накопительные пенсионные программы, которые никогда не сгорают и т.д. Только один вопрос. Откуда там тогда столько бомжей, если все так хорошо? Или вы реально верите в то, что всем этим людям нравится так жить, валятся на асфальте и ходить в туалет прям там же? Вам эта пропаганда уже мозг выжгла. Надо вам съездить и пожить в этой стабильности, чтоб розовые очки немного сползли с глаз. У нас тоже далеко не рай, но гораздо лучше и проще жить, чем там. В США хорошо было в 70-90е годы, но эти времена давно прошли.
Ваша мать живет в собственной квартире скорее всего , при этом "еле выживая на пенсию" .. А в Штатах многие "благополучные" американские пенсионеры торчат в домах престарелых . Сравните .
A little bit more information on the drug addiction and alcoholism problem (or non-problem) would be appreciated. The US is a complete mess in this category.
of couse we have, but I for instance have tot seen any person like you told for years, I travel a lot, I did not meet any homeless person for years in our streets. You can watch here on the website video about cities, not Moscow, may be 1000+ km from Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Tula, Grozny. Vladivostok, Petrozavodsk, Uzhnk-Sakhalinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan and etc, just pick the name from the map.
@@leeshole rent is very cheap in Russia, average Russian pay off for a new home during 4 years.during last 3 years Russia has bitten its own historical record for building new homes (including soviet times) And 40% families have 'dacha' (small summer houses with a bit of land), they are also available for rent, many of them are ok to live in winter. Statistics says that Russia has about 10 000 homeless people in sum ,in Moscow(the largest European capital) - 6000, but they live in shelters - 3-4 people in one room... Russia has almost the highest rate of home owner(thanks to the Soviet Union whe to be homeless was outlow)
It's true that there are some folks struggling with addiction and homelessness, but you're pretty unlikely to see them on the streets. Most people who've had a few too many are usually found in bars or nightclubs in the evening or at night.
@@leesholeОни никуда не делись. Есть, просто их стало гораздо меньше. В бомжи ведь попадают не только из за финансовых проблем. Причин много. Они и при СССР были. Сам видел. Но это был личный выбор и своеобразная судьба.
All true, but getting a decent rent for $1,000 in Moscow is not entirely true. At least not for a one-month stay. I‘m paying €50/day. So, perhaps for at least 6 months, one might get something for $1,000.
I pay some $600/month for a 70m² single bedroom flat in a historical building a 10 minute walk away from the Moscow State University (the Stalinist-era skyscraper). You could probably find something cheaper in other areas, but otherwise it's a very green and quiet neighborhood.
The future --Russia's government could change at any time--is there any secure future for development there, any real continuity of government. ? You might lose everything overnight..

Americans see Russians every day. In the NHL... They adore them. They love them. But for some reason they think that there are different Russians in Russia. And they don't think about why Russians return to Russia after their contracts end.Americans are amazing people, they believe TV and Hollywood.
We see the hundreds of thousands of Russians who live here and bad mouth Russia. It is not our fault but the government spreads propaganda along with the Russian immigrants. I believe Russia had a purge or exiled thousands in the 1990’s because that’s when they came
home school? you can take the school program at home and still be enrolled in an educational institution, but you still have to come to school very rarely to write a test or to take exams at the end of the year... if that's what you meant, then that's it
@saikounikawaii oh ok thank you. Every state here has different laws about school at home but in general you don't have to be enrolled in the public school or go in to take tests but you can if you want to.
dude. I LITERALLY SAID that I REFUSED to hurt myself or anyone else in a workplace and 2 chicks who had it in for me (because my skin color -- white & because work ethic too high) called police and I was thrown in a psych ward charged with SAYING THE EXACT OPPOSITE, starved and basically raped in several kinds of ways, left for dead after escaping because my identity was completely stolen and I can't even tell the whole thing 20 years later because still nobody is listening for real. No lawyer, no phone call, held indefinitely, threatened with forced court ordered drugging FOR LIFE, no shit I literally had ZERO mental issues AT ALL before this happened but you bet I'm RIFE with them now. Its a multi-BILLION dollar industry that functions with impunity, and I don't GIVE A DAMN HOW BAD I AM CENSORED, I WILL NOT SHUT UP. If I hadn't been so badly damaged I would have hopped on an airplane and flown as far away from USA as humanly possible. This is how they keep their ugly secrets, they know they can do whatever they like with impunity. I'm still looking for a way out of the USA but damn sure will not go without connections after the living hell I have survived for the past 20 years inside the USA. This place is a grand porno on steroids. ESPECIALLY for WOMEN.
@@RoCK3rAD ...and what part of what I wrote would make you think something like that? Was it the being locked up because I'm white, or because I actually did my job and cared about that and the people I worked with and took care of? Or was it the part where I was trying to escape the mind control cult Christian "ministry" I was in trying to establish roots somewhere and wound up getting starved and abused instead -- or was it because there's literally no openings in homeless shelters at all and I'm not into being raped to stay alive, which is what all you creeps expect or else I "need" to be locked up? Don't threaten me, you pissy keyboard punk. Go back to your momma's basement and take another hit on your crack pipe. Garbage.

In Russia "you don't worry about politics, it's none if your business", You make it sound like politics us a burden, bro. Politics is a way to voice your opinion and your values and we get an equal say if we chose to particopate. Something tells me you have been indoctrinated to think more subserviently. Something tells me that your knowledge of american life is a bit limited.
I suspect the the video would be more realistic if it was based on more experiences with the culture and people. For example his claim that if you say someone bad you can get a knock on the door. He never heard of such a case so why stress that point. If you say something stupid your credibility drops and you loose the assumption of being honest. No one buys $100 grocery baskets, people like fresh food so shop often since within a 500 meters radius there will be a vast array og large and small grocery stores plus dozens of specialty stores that might only sell 300 types of tea or dairy products that have new deliveries every day so nothing in the shop is over 1-2 days old, fruits and vegetable stands or neighborhood butcher shops. A couple might spend $40 a week on food and all fresh, no GMO or chemicals to create long shelf life so the food is much healthier than in the west where mega grocery stores have to have food that can be a month old and not rotting due to gigantic distribution centers far from cities. Food in the US looks great but is far less nutritious due to large corporate food distribution 400 miles apart and any produce travels long distances to distribution centers then long trips to regional distribution centers. Tomoatos for example have to be picked green and then "ripened " chemically so the produce is firm enough for 1000 miles of travel and 1-2 weeks in the distribution centers. A normal ripe tomato has a lot of acid and that never developes in green tomatoes so they never have the rich full taste of one picked when ripe in your own garden. Americans are less healthy then Russians, part of that is due to the preservatives and chemicals added to the food to increase shelf life. It also has dropped fertility rates due to the dramatic drop in testosterone in American men due to the poor diet and preservatives used to increase shelf life. That does not impact just fertility but mental state and child development. Russian kids are smarter, healthier and happier than American kids. with many contributing caused the the food is a major cause, Sugar in everything is bad enough but surgar is expensive so chemical sweetener get kids addicted to it for all their life that increases profits for the medical and for processing industries. Those problems above are just part of the decline in children thriving and low fertility, and explosion of chronic conditions Americans have that Russians do not have. The better more accessible medical care, free of course, makes a big difference in general health and mental condition. Homelessness does not exist in Russia, most people own their home and the mental deterioration of millions of people every year in the US due to food, lack of care and lack of mental competence has turned cities in the US into very divided societies, those with mental capacity to life and those who are mentally impaired Russians are better educated, a 4th grader in Russia is typically 1-3 grade levels above American children, partly due to diet but mostly due to type of stimulation. The average 10 year old im Russia has seen a dozen world classs operas, ballets, museums, plays, art galleries so they are exposed to culture and really take to it when young, spend summers at the dacha(summer home most families have where grand mother and the kids go for the summer for being in nature, learning food growing , hiking, berry and mushroom gathering, growing food and flower gardens learning about life. A typical city or slum dwelling child in the US never sees nature or healthy neighborhoods. It is very obvious that better diet, more mental stimulation, the lack of stress, and ability to explore even large cities alone due to the safe conditions produce more competent teens and adults. If you visit Russia, talk to any young person and you will immediately see the difference, they are happy, smart, well mannered and have a lot of options to explore their interests. Those kids grow up to be competent adults and the wide range of interests and exposure to so much more than just a job task set. Americans get very narrow job specific education and know almost nothing about the overall human experience. Finding a 10 year old who had not experienced world class art or opera is rare, especially if they are in a city. Russians know so much more about the world that is true than Americans, because the government and media are not pushing narratives that are false. Very little of Russians believe is nonsense propaganda. Nothing presented on TV or social media in the US is true. Asking questions of basic history or society reveals whole societies which believe nonsense and they do not have the reasoning or logic skills to filter out the nonsense. For example the US has staged wars 202 times since 1950 and most of those are completely unknown by the people and those they do know are firm beliefs that are fully opposite of reality. It is not like that in Russia. These are my direct observation since my first visit to the USSR in 1976 and many visits after that and spending 3 months 2 times a year in most years of the 90s. When the new president was elected at the beginning of 2000, I gave away all my assets, that included 12 businesses 6 personal homes, large collection of restored Italian GTs, an airplane, a million dollars worth of horses and ranch, and moved to St Petersburg Russia and arrived on the same day the new president was sworn in. All I retained was one storage unit filled with awards (197 gold and Platinum record) and one Bora Maserati that was built from two chassis and registration was complicated, and about 100,000 photos from my world travels ) and all I took to St Petersburg were 2 suitcases and $6000. That was the first day of the rebirth of Russia after the terrible 90s. I had met the new president twice before and knew time to be the ultimate straight shooter, but also was going to have strong hostility from the US that had ruled Russia in the 90s. The new president would have a target on his back because despite wanting good relations with the Empire, his seeking to repair Russia was in direct conflict with the goals of Washington. It did not take long before he had upset Washington by trying to repair Russia and that anger and hostility increased continuously and growth, quality of life and services have improved every since year since 2000. For about 10 years the best place to start a small business or raise a child of the 93 countries I have spent time in, is Russia. Seeing the transformation from crashing crime ridden 90s to great quality of life and conditions to raise a family, no place tops Russia. He started from a weak position of 10 years of US meddling that created the vast income inequality and crime domination of Russian society. I have only been back to my native USA 5 times and seeing the decay, division and exploding homelessness is hard to witness. But the government has been captured by a small class of oligarchs who leve nothing left for the people. There are a thousand factions in the US and each one hates the other 999. It is a broken society, that can't tell the truth about anything. Europe is following their master into the dustbin of history. The future does not look bright for Europe or North America that is determined to start another war on Russia and China, all based on lies and will lose. Russia is a land of opportunity. Not speaking the language and having little money I started 3 businesses, two almost hobby businesses and a 3rd that in a year grew to 83 employees. A young family or a couple wanted to start family, Russia is the place to be. It is extremely friendly to young families and those starting a business. The odds are 3 to 1 advantage starting a business in Russia because the cost of living is so low that the cost of supporting the founder's family is so low that the business has a much longer runway turn profitable before starting capital runs out.. The tax system is helpful and any sort of business can have legal status such as street musician.
First of all It is only in one region. And, please read about where to buy alcoholic beverages in Canada for example or on territories in the US where native americans live.
1. I never really cared to much about the political aspects about anything until they really started hating men in the West. 2. Weirdly nice. Julia on her channel that always wants to leave Russia that points these things out in a hilarious way. 3. I am use to working 12-14 hours a day with just a bit of time to rest my head. This is accurate. 4. Intelligence. Most folks have no idea how many inventions and modern things like Lasik came out of Russia. 5. Politics is a big one for me. Imagine being a Veteran in America. It's weird. All I'm saying. 6. Quality of life? NO CONTEST. A dream for a retired person or Military retired. 7. *SAFETY* I'm going to just let this one out of the bag. If you look up Eli from Russia, that was about the closest encounter in that one region where everything is Islam based in that town where she was "Arrested" and held and had all her things searched through by police because someone said she was dealing drugs. That is the Closest I have ever seen of the Police acting in this manner inside of Russia. However, that's is like a DAILY occurrence here in America and MUCH more violent. That kind of fear from police is here with EVERYONE everyday. Unlike in other parts of the world where police are looked at on the same level as Fireman, that is NOT the case in America, Australia, & The U.K. Things have gotten to the point where the society is so low trust in the west, they would rather not have any police at all and that is from both sides of the isle if your an American. Both Conservatives and Liberals. Furthermore? Let's just get the elephant out of the room. The West is a DANGEROUS place to raise your children. Not going to go further into it.
If I was strong enough I would move to russia. I lived there 40 years ago for a few months. It was the Soviet Union. The population gave me a good response, there was nothing between the natives and me. If I was not sick and old (almost EOL) I would consider moving my but over to Russia.

No offense to this analysis, but it seems like a 'grass is greener on the other side' perspective. Our conservative values in Russia basically come down to no trans, and restrictions on gay propaganda in schools. Otherwise we have many of the same social problems as you guys (high divorce rates, high substance abuse rates, problems with illegal immigration, extremely low birth rate among ethnic Russians, degreening of cities, depopulation of rural areas, foods being filled with poisonous chemicals because its cheaper, etc.). The problem is we are part of the globalist system and like Western countries have very powerful oligarchs. The concepts many conservatives abhor ('15 minute cities', digital living, including digitsl currency, etc) are being actively pushed and marketed over here. Sorry if I've burst someone's bubble. Just want people not to be disappointed after realizing what's really happening in Russia.
Brother, you nailed it about Russia. Im a 62 year old man, retired army, retired Lutheran Pastor, My fiancé is a 57 year old Doctor who had been a Captain in the Soviet Army. When I traveled to Yekaterinburg where she lives I could not believe how clean the city was. very very little graffiti, no wierdos on the street, but the safety, I could not believe it. I have a conceal and carry weapon license for my state. my pistol goes wherever I go and most men at my Church were also armed. My Fiance and I would walk about a mile through the forest to get to Church and there were young women walking alone in this place. I asked my Fiance, how can this be, but she said, don't worry nothing will happen to them. For a Westerner you are also correct about the groceries, We filled up a grocery basket at the store and it was about $85. In the US this would have cost me $380 to $400. I looked at her gas and electric bill for the month and I asked, is this for a day. I'm not overexaggerating, her gas was about $& and her electric was about $15 for a month. No cost for water. In my town my water bill alone is $250 a month, my gas $85 a month, my electric depending on the month will be between $230 to $550 a month and garbage is $45 a month. But the food tasted so different. I took me a month to get used to it. I was not used to food that was not artificially colored and full of hormones and chemicals. The only thing I do not like, and this is because of the sanctions, but I have to physically carry my money into the country. I could go on and on but I am going back this December to get married, my furniture is already sold, then I will come back and sell my house which has doubled in price in 7 years. I am going to the land where the only place I see a rainbow is in the sky and not flying above my own countries flag. You nailed it brother. .
"and most men at my Church were also armed" You, good sir, have no idea how truly MERICAN that sounds now.
Best of luck to you my friend. Enjoy your life
In the USSR, gas, water, and electricity were almost free. Education, medicine, and housing were definitely free and of a high standard. The state paid for everything. That's what I call a superpower. It was a social state of the highest order. There was nothing even close to this in terms of social security and social protection in other countries. Russians obviously remember this well and know that it is possible in principle. And Western people have been accustomed for centuries to a model where you have to pay for everything yourself, and they have been throwing mud at the USSR all the time.

@@ЕваХаритонова-ц6л "Gregorian chorals are Catholic" That' s how superficial western reporters have changed that into ALL Church chorals, relted to Russia, with a wide Brush. So pardon my ignorance not looking deeper into that chorals topic.
There so called Patriotism is more like Imperialism and they lost there true Christian traditions right after the Soviet revolution there Neo Pagans and their history is cool but it's cheap they tricked other nations for most of there history the Russian Empire for example was a Knock off or replacement of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth which was a power for 300 years

The people who are moving to Russia are smart. They are getting a better value for the buck, and it's a beautiful place. Russia is not a perfect country, and neither one exists. People need to look beyond the mainstream media narrative, do their own research, and go see it for themselves. This RUclipsr, not sure of his name, is right.
the real problem is the language though - substantially more difficult to learn compared to english
@@Freeliner75 Yes, English is easy, that't why it became so widespread!😂❤
One piece of advice in learning Russian or most any language is build a vocabulary. Most people will know what you are talking about. Grammer and other norms related to comprehension will eventually become apparent.

Russia is a hell hole of poverty, despair, and oppression. It has the highest suicide rate in the world other than Soweto. male life expectancy is 64 due to alcoholism, drug addiction, and AIDS. 25% of Russian homes don’t have indoor toilets are running water. 60% of Russian families spend more than 50% of their income on food and must spend the summer growing food on private plots in order to survive. Russia is the most Backwood of any developed country, and in many respects is a Third World country. 12.5 million Russians have left the country since 1991 million have left in the last three years. when the oil runs out so does Russia.

I also forgot to say that my fiance fills out a postcard on her own for her taxes. I have to use an accountant each year and my property taxes went up $400 this year so I am honored to pay $9300 in property taxes this year just to the state not even counting the federal Government.. No more I am done with it.
I read your other comment. If I were you, I would consider renting out my house in the USA. In Russia, you will live on this money without denying yourself anything. At the same time, the property in the USA will be preserved.
It's crazy. Our property taxes in Russia are like $150 a year (for 800 sq flat). Insurance is about the that as well. Our small US house in a low tax state is $3k per year.
@cashcatz but what do you MAKE in Russia.
Hello from Russia. Guys, I can explain to you why there is such a difference between Russia and the USA.
Russia is a historically formed state. The Russian people created it on their lands, then gradually expanded the territory to the south and east, involving other peoples, but not destroying them, but preserving them.
The USA is the opposite case. It is an artificially created state of the Anglo-Saxons on foreign lands. They seized these lands and killed almost all the local inhabitants. And then they built an ideal corporation for making money.
Therefore, Russia and the USA have different goals. In Russia, the goal is to improve the life of its people. And in the USA it is to make money for the richest. And everything else is based on this.
Why do 99% of people in Russia own real estate, while in the USA the percentage is very low? Because in the USA rich people earn money by renting housing, so they have been lobbying for such a system in construction for many decades, so that it would be very expensive to buy real estate. Or why in Russia there is a washing machine in every house, while in the USA there are common washing rooms? Again, it's about money, this is how they earn money. And so on.
I am speechless….you are correct, start to finish!!!
The truth will set you free….
Hello, I lived in Russia for seven years, I love Russia and Russians but your take on the history of the USA, compared to Russia, is totally wrong. Russian history is very similar to America's...a large proud Christian nation with a giant frontier to settle and a destiny to change the World. Russia conquered more land than America and killed far more to do so (far denser population centers back then), which I have no problem with. People own property at high rates in Russia because even the poorest were given a flat by the end of the CCCP. America is not designed to improve the lives of its own people, just make them money, what are you talking about, in America the lives are too improved, obesity and boredom from easy desk work, etc, being huge issues. The natives of America (Indians) today have recovered their numbers to several million, about the same as were in North America before Columbus came. America and Russia need to focus on the vast list of things that unite us, not artificially create cheap divisions. I love Russia and Russians and want America and Russia to once again become friends. Trump maybe can do it.
@@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf The Population of the 500 Nations, of North America was estimated at 40 Million towards the End of the Pre Columbian Period. They have bounced back to 22 Million of today.

"Russia killed far more to do so" No, Russia did not , all Treaty's with the Nenets, Yakuts, Bashkirs, Tartars, Tuvans Mongols and so on, were largely respected, the famines of the early and late 1920's after the Bolshevik Revolution took place in Western Russia. In Siberia there where only famines after the Siberian Japanese occupation, by displaced Families, and far less than in the West of Russia. Anyway I like your general take on Relations, and gave you a Thumbs up.
@@ernstwiltmann6 I agree that Russia has gone to great lengths to preserve its far northern and Siberian tribes, the identities of the Tatars, Udmurts, etc, are still flourishing, but the population centers Russia conquered, to become what it is today, were larger than what was in North America at that time, so there is no way Russia killed less people to form its borders. Again, I have no problem with Yekaterina taking the South from Islam, or Ivan taking Kazan, etc. I do have a problem with falsely painting the foundation of the Russian State as something far more virtuous than that of the Unites States, which is ridiculous thing to even quantify. You are obviously very smart and thank you for the reply.

To be honest, I am always surprised by the fact that Americans leave the USA, I always thought that Americans are some of the most patriotic people on this planet. But anyway, welcome. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.
America is being slowly taken over by Bolskevek's as the Left holds the majority influence over all major social institutions. Those who advocate for traditional values or Conservatism are labeled as 'deplorables' by some or domestic terrorists by the current Administration. A good example of the double standard is Jan 6 compared to the 100 days of riots following the death of George Floyd. The latter was a 1000x more severe but hardly is mentioned while Jan 6 is brought up on a daily bases.
It is a different country than the one I grew up.
The UsA elite hate the Christian’s white people. Everybody can see they work against this group. Look the ilegal immigration. Is to make the country less Christianity.
People used to be patriotic, and some are still, but even among family which always said America was #1, never cared to even leave the country in their life, etc, they've now become disillusioned and think the USA is in decline and is not the best place, that it's been taken over by outsiders and criminal bureaucrats.
They have hope Trump will change this, but even have begun to believe it's simply over for the USA.

Немецкий философ Вальтер Шубарт О РУССКИХ
«Западноевропейский человек рассматривает жизнь, как рабыню, которой он наступил ногой на шею… Он не смотрит с преданностью на небо, а, полный властолюбия, злыми враждебными глазами глядит вниз, на землю. Русский человек одержим не волей к власти, а чувством примирения и любви. Он исполнен не гневом и ненавистью, а глубочайшим доверием к сущности мира. Он видит в человеке не врага, а брата».
Англичанин хочет видеть мир - как фабрику, француз - как салон, немец - как казарму, русский, - как церковь. Англичанин хочет добычи, француз - славы, немец - власти, русский - жертвы.
Англичанин хочет наживаться от ближнего, француз - импонировать ближнему, немец - командовать ближним, а русский ничего от него не хочет. Он не желает превращать ближнего в свое средство. Это братство русского сердца и русской идеи. И это есть Евангелие будущего. Русский всечеловек есть носитель нового солидаризма. Прометеевский человек уже обречен смерти. Наступает эпоха Иоанновского человека - человека любви и свободы. Таково будущее русского народа.
Запад движим неверием, страхом и себялюбием; русская душа движима верою, покоем и братством. Именно поэтому будущее принадлежит России…
У европейца - человек человеку волк, всяк за себя, всяк сам себе бог; поэтому все против всех и все против Бога; и героичность его есть очень часто эксцесс себялюбия и гордости - личной или национальной. Это корыстный и хищный героизм. Европеец доволен, когда ему завидуют, и терпеть не может, чтобы его жалели, - это унижение. Поэтому он скрытен, притворяется, чопорен, чванлив и театрально надут - и когда русский это видит, то у него щемит на сердце.
Русский подходит к своему ближнему непосредственно и тепло. Он сорадуется и сострадает. Он всегда склонен к расположению и доверию. Быстро сближается. Он естествен, и в этом его шарм. Он прост, интимен, склонен к откровенности, стремится быть полезным.
Новый человек Европы не заметил, как он прошел через иудаизацию христианства и утратил и Бога и Христа. В России иное понимание Евангелия.
Русские были христианами до своего обращения в христианство. Поэтому христианство распространилось в России не мечом, как у Карла Великого, а само, легко и быстро - избранием.
Русское сердце было открыто не Ветхому, а именно Новому Завету. Так оно и осталось; в русской душе есть данные, делающие русского человека самым верным сыном Христа.
Вот откуда русская национальная идея: спасение человечества придет из России. Это самая глубокая и самая широкая национальная идея из всех, имеющихся у других народов.
Основная социальная идея русского народа такова: общество как церковь, как духовная общность, как свободное многообразие в любовном единстве, как мистическое Тело Христа…
И ещё замечательно, что русское безбожие - иное, чем на Западе: оно не холодное сомнение, не безразличие, а огненный вызов Богу, трепещущее кощунство, восстание, жалоба на Бога, может быть, тоска по утерянном Боге. Самое безбожие носит у русских характер религиозного неистовства.
И самое понимание Евангелия в России иное, чем на Западе: западное христианство болеет властолюбием - оно насильственно обращает в христианство, это воинственное, милитаризованное учение о Боге, дающем победу; это искажение Евангелия Ветхим Заветом и естественный переход от Ветхого Завета к безбожию…
Можно сказать, что европеец - человек дела, а русский - человек души и сердца. И Европа есть страна деловитости, а Россия есть родина души.
Душевный человек вчувствуется в ближнего и воспринимает его интуитивно и чутко; ему не важно происхождение, образование, партийность, профессия, титул и орден.
И замечательно, когда неевропеец впервые приезжает в Россию, он бывает приятно изумлен и обрадован; а когда русский впервые приезжает в Европу - то он чувствует себя отрезвленным и разочарованным.
Кто узнает русского лично - тот полюбит его. Пока европейца знаешь по его заслугам - до тех пор он тебе импонирует.
Русский человек, может быть, и плохой делец, но братский чело
про распространение христианства... честно сомневаюсь, что это легко далось. И еще жалко артифактов предыдущих верований, которые были уничтожены
Согласен. После прихода христианства мы потеряли довольно большой пласт народной культуры 😒
Очень интересно. Спасибо за такой комментарий. Подтверждаю слова немецкого философа. Год живу в Европе (Греция, Крит). Хотя здесь еще довольно сильны семейные традиции. Но, вопрос времени. Страна НАТО. Если бы я не вышла замуж за гражданина этой страны, я бы ни за что не уехала из России. И в принципе, в Душе я думаю, что я вернусь на Родину. Не могу представить ситуацию, что умру на чужбине.

I can say that the window of opportunity for moving from Western countries to Russia can close at any moment. When these are large numbers, you can be sure that your governments will close it tightly. They are already making such moves difficult. For example, it is forbidden to transport euros from Europe to Russia. They may also not issue some of the necessary documents. But do not forget that now, due to the difference in currencies between the dollar, euro and ruble, a Westerner can easily buy housing in Russia and open a business. But this dollar bubble can burst at any moment. Even now, not all dollars are accepted for exchange in Russia, but only the latest series in perfect condition.

That's why you're not in a rat race loop.
yes
Well, in general it's like that, beyond the individual details. Ah yes, there are also national republics like Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia. The laws of the Russian Federation also apply there, but since these are predominantly muslim republics, they have their own specifics and peculiarities. Europeans are usually not comfortable living there on a permanent basis.
Because of that European can choose any other region and Muslims can choose Muslim regions of Russia. Yeah, also Asians and Buddhist can choose Kalmikia or Buryatiya for living. And Muslim regions of Russia are very different. For example in the Tatarstan or in The Bashkortostan you can wear anything you want, you can find alcohol, pork and a lot of pubs or night clubs. Chechnya and Ingushetia are more Islamic regions. So don't worry and don't afraid and just choose what you want.
We have many more ethnical republics and regions which just like all other russian regions are multinational and multireligious, and where people live in mutual respect, friendship and support. It's all just a regular ordinary thing in Russia.

One big thing is that people here don't call the cops unless all other options are exhausted. If you misbehave in any way - you'll be warned a dozen times before things escalate. And cops themselves come to DO THEIR JOB. They're no babysitters nor psychiatrists. If they were called for nothing - the person calling will get in trouble (nothing serious but still). Such norm means that people will usually try to settle any conflicts on human-to-human level. And this common sense buffer is something US lacks greatly, where "I'll call the cops" and "I know my rights" is heard on daily basis.

Russia is a paradise for Western retirees due to the difference in exchange rates. By receiving a pension from the West and living in Russia, retirees can enjoy a very high standard of living (about 4-5 times greater than in their home country). If these retirees, in addition to their pension, earn income from renting their property in the West and spend the funds they receive in Russia, they will live like millionaires. This is not a joking matter. But I don't think this situation will last long. If the economic situation in the United States continues to worsen and the dollar's exchange rate against the ruble continues to fall, then the standard of living for Western pensioners in Russia may also decrease...
The rouble is falling to over 100 roubles to 1 usd. This is going to fuel the migration to Russia as retirees on a us pension or social security will live better than doctors and engineers. Russia needs to target this wealth and hopefully can secure Chinese migration away from the west as well.
Not even that, the big thing is the US is going to cancel all payments to anyone living in Russia.

I would like to explain why it may be beneficial for Westerners to consider moving to Russia at this time. However, this only applies to those who have their own property. The fact is, the exchange rate between the American dollar (and other western currencies) and the Russian ruble is currently very favorable. The Russian government intentionally lowers the value of the ruble in order to make more of their products and services more affordable for foreign buyers. For example, with $100, you can purchase 5-6 times more goods and services in Russia than in the US. If you sell your home in the US, you could potentially buy 5-6 homes in Russia (which would likely be made of stone, instead of plywood like in the US). This means that after selling your home and moving to Russia, you could purchase a beautiful stone home, a large piece of land, and still have funds left over for your own business endeavors.
Ты заблуждаешься. Не все дома в США стоят по миллиону долларов. Есть дома которые стоят 100 тысяч долларов. А это 10 миллионов рублей. Как раз на один дом в России денег хватит. Не все американцы долларовые миллионеры как ты думаешь. Всего 40% американцев имеют жилье в собственности, а остальные живут в арендованном жилье. Большинство американцев живут от зарплаты до зарплаты и у них кроме автомобиля ничего нет. А подержанный автомобиль в США можно продать примерно за 5 тысяч долларов. Этого хватит только на переезд в Россию и первые несколько месяцев жизни. Не все так прекрасно и радужно в США, как показывают в Голливудских фильмах.

It seems there's more for you to understand about Russia's history, particularly regarding the millions who were forcibly relocated to Siberia. I'd suggest reading up on the harrowing experiences, including accounts of mothers resorting to making soup from deceased children to feed the surviving ones. and why was that in my recommended is what I would like to know.
@@danr8472 what's the hell is wrong with you?
It's not dangerous at all to visit if you come as a tourist and not to the areas bordering Ukraine, where Ukrainian drones are shot down at night. It may be more difficult to get a visa in today's situation. And it's better to come in spring or summer, winter is not to everyone's liking. There is no discrimination against USA citizens.
It is most certainly not dangerous, they would take an interest in you conversationally if you prove to not be a typically dimwitted North American, but dangerous? Most certainly not.
you really should visit Russia just to overcome all those propaganda bias inspired by your mass media. Honestly, it would not be easy just to come and find your place in Russia since lingua franca here is Russian and not English, and that can be a serious problem. But if you are an IT person - that simplifies things a lot since majority of Russian IT companies are English-speaking. Definitely you will lose in an absolute salary. USD 3000 is a normal salary for a middle+ - senior grade of IT specialist here. But. You can afford - housing, services, fitness, kindergarten, education and so on which is times less expensive here.
I've been to Russia a few times. I no longer live in the USA. Left 7 years ago. I love living in Mexico now. If you want to leave the USA, then do it whenever it suits you. The world in a big place.
Any reason you chose Mexico now?
I'm considering moving there or setting up a home base there as the residency is easy and the location is good, but I'm not a big fan of the cities I've been to. Thinking of trying out life in Chiapas or other less developed states.
If I were younger and had more money I would be there. It’s so beautiful. I’ve seen several videos by people living there and it’s very impressive.
"they believe in sticking together" Idk what you talking about, divorce rate in Russia is high af
i live a month on 100$ lol its 10.000rub.. i mean food for a month. 2$ per month hot water, 5$ cold water, 15-20$ electricity and thats a lot cuz i use computer 24/7 charge phone vape electric stove not gas, gas stove would be 10times cheaper. 1000$ rent... u should be a millionaire XD better take mortgage if u can pay that summ monthly. most of my friends who rents apartments in different cities pay between 150-350$ per month
it is not life cost only - the main reason is that Russia is a Common Sense country - where family and traditional values are considered more important than those... promoted in the Western countries

Inflation and currency deval is a chronic issue in Russia. You are correct in saying that IT guys can have a premium life in Russia because of the general deficit for such specialists (many fled during mobilization of 2022) and higher than average salaries since the times when globalization worked. In general there are many opportunities in Russia because war economy created many deficits in domestic specialist "market". But you will have troubles transferring assets in and out of the country because of the sanctions.
You're wrong about the prices. They rising up 10-20% per year now. Housing and rent maybe for less, but still going up. Food got up to 20% rise recently for past 4 months for several categories (butter and meat especially).
Some of the reasons you listed are thr reasons i am looking at moving from Australia to either a Romania or Georgia.
Whenever any of you consider moving to Russia please do not expect it to be easy! Expect it to be hard!
Remember as somebody said: We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
Easy answer. Russia is better and the best!
You said a lot of things correctly, but not about prices, especially for apartments.
since 2018, the cost of housing HAS DOUBLED + times!
It is much more difficult to buy a house now.
But now it is more affordable to buy a house 15-30km from the city.
About food prices is also a nuance. Prices are rising. For example, today milk in a local producer's shop for some reason has risen in price by 8%
The oil rose too.
Yes, maybe they will go down after a while. But there are constant price fluctuations. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about stability here.
but the fact that no one stably stabs on the street, does not litter, does not shit, and generally the most adequate - yes. We are like that.
Price is no factor because Americans have a lot more disposable money than the Russians due to exchange rate currently being 100 roubles to 1 usd
На счет общего закона не совсем правда. Наша страна разделена на разные субъекты и республики могут иметь свою коституцию и собсвенный язык. В то время как края, области, города федерального значиения , автономные области и округа могут иметь свой устав и законодательство. Так что эта система всё же немного напоминает ту, что в сша (в плане различий в законе), однако она не настолько выраженная и вы действительно спокойно можете перемещаться по стране без проблем. Однако всё же советую хотя бы почитать про места, куда вы планируете отправится. Потому что народов у нас много и все разные, никогда не знаешь где можешь случано обидеть кого-то или вести себя неправильно. Всё-таки уважение друг к другу довольно важная вещь.
I've been to Russia. Not good. China was better. America is best. I've lived in many countries, mastered 6 languages. I live in America because it's the best place overall.
So just stay there,please,nobody ask you to move to Russia😎

Вы правы, в России наиболее полная свобода слова, на мой взгляд, но есть неколько важных правил, у нас запрещена пропоганда ЛГБТ и childfree, вы не можете говорить того, что посорит народы, живущие в нашей стране, у нас 180 этносов, и мы должны, и хотим жить мирно вместе, также вы не можете задевать религиозные чувства других людей, у нас живут люди нескольких религий, и мы уважаем другие взгляды на религию, кроме сект и псевдопророков, еще нельзя во время проведения военных действий, делать информационные выпады в сторону нашей армии, это неправильно, можно умеренно и конструктивно покритиковать, но знать меру.

Another thing you didn't mention is a debt-free living. I do not know if that is higher interest rates or more careful approach from Russian banks, but I do not think that Russians are under that much debt pressure.
As for the politics or freedoms: I like as one guy noticed that you will always feel most free in a country where you agree with the government's policies. I believe that most Russians are in harmony with their government thus they do not have to self-censor or feel too involved and be passionate about politics.

I want to move to Russia so badly
sober up
A perfect description. I have lived in 9 countries and now in a former Soviet republic. Russians are exactly like that.
Living expenses are not cheap here for locals. For example, my mother's pension is 180 dollars per month.
Despite of free medical care and owning her property, she cannot afford her medicines. Family values are strong here because it is a way to survive in retirement.
Ваша мать пенсионер. А пенсионеры во всех странах живут не богато. Или вы думаете, что в США пенсионеры живут прекрасно? Средняя пенсия в США 1000-1200 долларов, а этого хватает только на еду и оплату жилья, если оно есть. Если у пенсионера в США, нет своего жилья, то на аренду квартиры ему денег не хватит и придется идти в дом престарелых. А молодые люди в России зарабатывают от 50 тысяч и выше, а это уже 500 долларов и можно жить. Тоже не богато конечно, но не хуже чем в США. Я жил в США, там средняя зарплата 3500 долларов. Аренда обычной двухкомнатной квартиры 2000 долларов, медицинская страховка 250 долларов, страховка на автомобиль 150, интернет 100, телефон 100, электричество 100, бензин 100. Остается 700 долларов. Этого хватает только на самую дешевую еду на месяц. А вы не представляете какая дрянь, самая дешевая еда в США. Взять хотя бы хлеб, состав: мука, вода, соль. А там на этикетке хлеба 5 строчек. Там вся таблица Менделеева. У нас в любой Пятерочке продукты в два раза лучше. У них нормальные продукты называются "Органик" и они не по карману обычным людям. Не нужно судить о США по Голливудским фильмам.
А куда идти российскому пенсионеру, если у него нет своего жилья? Проблемы жителей США меня не волнуют, тоже в курсе, что там не рай земной и деньги на пальмах не растут. Я только написал, что у нас тоже нифига не дёшево, если учитывать уровень доходов и что традиционные ценности это привычный способ выживания, так как нет надежды на государство. Там по крайне мере реальная стабильность (без смены режимов, войн, деноминаций, заморозки вкладов, гиперинфляции обесценивания денег), при которой могут работать накопительные пенсионные программы типа 401к и roth ira.
@@vz5835 Да уж. Там стабильность. Без гиперинфляции, заморозки вкладов, накопительные пенсионные программы, которые никогда не сгорают и т.д. Только один вопрос. Откуда там тогда столько бомжей, если все так хорошо? Или вы реально верите в то, что всем этим людям нравится так жить, валятся на асфальте и ходить в туалет прям там же? Вам эта пропаганда уже мозг выжгла. Надо вам съездить и пожить в этой стабильности, чтоб розовые очки немного сползли с глаз. У нас тоже далеко не рай, но гораздо лучше и проще жить, чем там. В США хорошо было в 70-90е годы, но эти времена давно прошли.

of couse we have, but I for instance have tot seen any person like you told for years, I travel a lot, I did not meet any homeless person for years in our streets.

feels like they all died 20 years ago.. no homeless cuz u cant live outside in winter
@@leeshole rent is very cheap in Russia, average Russian pay off for a new home during 4 years.during last 3 years Russia has bitten its own historical record for building new homes (including soviet times) And 40% families have 'dacha' (small summer houses with a bit of land), they are also available for rent, many of them are ok to live in winter. Statistics says that Russia has about 10 000 homeless people in sum ,in Moscow(the largest European capital) - 6000, but they live in shelters - 3-4 people in one room... Russia has almost the highest rate of home owner(thanks to the Soviet Union whe to be homeless was outlow)
It's true that there are some folks struggling with addiction and homelessness, but you're pretty unlikely to see them on the streets. Most people who've had a few too many are usually found in bars or nightclubs in the evening or at night.
@@leesholeОни никуда не делись. Есть, просто их стало гораздо меньше. В бомжи ведь попадают не только из за финансовых проблем. Причин много. Они и при СССР были. Сам видел. Но это был личный выбор и своеобразная судьба.
All true, but getting a decent rent for $1,000 in Moscow is not entirely true. At least not for a one-month stay. I‘m paying €50/day. So, perhaps for at least 6 months, one might get something for $1,000.
Daily is always way more costly - Moscow - you can get from 500US$ - $800 will get a good location near a Metro (walking distance etc
Стоимость еще зависит от удаленности от метро и района города. ( чем ближе к центру, тем как правило, дороже)
Yeah, Moscow rent prices skyrocketed this year. But there still a lot of good and rather cheap prepositions.
I pay some $600/month for a 70m² single bedroom flat in a historical building a 10 minute walk away from the Moscow State University (the Stalinist-era skyscraper). You could probably find something cheaper in other areas, but otherwise it's a very green and quiet neighborhood.

Thank you ❤ in name of humanity
I suspect the the video would be more realistic if it was based on more experiences with the culture and people. For example his claim that if you say someone bad you can get a knock on the door. He never heard of such a case so why stress that point. If you say something stupid your credibility drops and you loose the assumption of being honest. No one buys $100 grocery baskets, people like fresh food so shop often since within a 500 meters radius there will be a vast array og large and small grocery stores plus dozens of specialty stores that might only sell 300 types of tea or dairy products that have new deliveries every day so nothing in the shop is over 1-2 days old, fruits and vegetable stands or neighborhood butcher shops. A couple might spend $40 a week on food and all fresh, no GMO or chemicals to create long shelf life so the food is much healthier than in the west where mega grocery stores have to have food that can be a month old and not rotting due to gigantic distribution centers far from cities. Food in the US looks great but is far less nutritious due to large corporate food distribution 400 miles apart and any produce travels long distances to distribution centers then long trips to regional distribution centers. Tomoatos for example have to be picked green and then "ripened " chemically so the produce is firm enough for 1000 miles of travel and 1-2 weeks in the distribution centers. A normal ripe tomato has a lot of acid and that never developes in green tomatoes so they never have the rich full taste of one picked when ripe in your own garden. Americans are less healthy then Russians, part of that is due to the preservatives and chemicals added to the food to increase shelf life. It also has dropped fertility rates due to the dramatic drop in testosterone in American men due to the poor diet and preservatives used to increase shelf life. That does not impact just fertility but mental state and child development. Russian kids are smarter, healthier and happier than American kids. with many contributing caused the the food is a major cause, Sugar in everything is bad enough but surgar is expensive so chemical sweetener get kids addicted to it for all their life that increases profits for the medical and for processing industries.
Those problems above are just part of the decline in children thriving and low fertility, and explosion of chronic conditions Americans have that Russians do not have.
The better more accessible medical care, free of course, makes a big difference in general health and mental condition. Homelessness does not exist in Russia, most people own their home and the mental deterioration of millions of people every year in the US due to food, lack of care and lack of mental competence has turned cities in the US into very divided societies, those with mental capacity to life and those who are mentally impaired
Russians are better educated, a 4th grader in Russia is typically 1-3 grade levels above American children, partly due to diet but mostly due to type of stimulation. The average 10 year old im Russia has seen a dozen world classs operas, ballets, museums, plays, art galleries so they are exposed to culture and really take to it when young, spend summers at the dacha(summer home most families have where grand mother and the kids go for the summer for being in nature, learning food growing , hiking, berry and mushroom gathering, growing food and flower gardens learning about life. A typical city or slum dwelling child in the US never sees nature or healthy neighborhoods.
It is very obvious that better diet, more mental stimulation, the lack of stress, and ability to explore even large cities alone due to the safe conditions produce more competent teens and adults. If you visit Russia, talk to any young person and you will immediately see the difference, they are happy, smart, well mannered and have a lot of options to explore their interests. Those kids grow up to be competent adults and the wide range of interests and exposure to so much more than just a job task set. Americans get very narrow job specific education and know almost nothing about the overall human experience. Finding a 10 year old who had not experienced world class art or opera is rare, especially if they are in a city. Russians know so much more about the world that is true than Americans, because the government and media are not pushing narratives that are false. Very little of Russians believe is nonsense propaganda. Nothing presented on TV or social media in the US is true. Asking questions of basic history or society reveals whole societies which believe nonsense and they do not have the reasoning or logic skills to filter out the nonsense. For example the US has staged wars 202 times since 1950 and most of those are completely unknown by the people and those they do know are firm beliefs that are fully opposite of reality. It is not like that in Russia.
These are my direct observation since my first visit to the USSR in 1976 and many visits after that and spending 3 months 2 times a year in most years of the 90s. When the new president was elected at the beginning of 2000, I gave away all my assets, that included 12 businesses 6 personal homes, large collection of restored Italian GTs, an airplane, a million dollars worth of horses and ranch, and moved to St Petersburg Russia and arrived on the same day the new president was sworn in. All I retained was one storage unit filled with awards (197 gold and Platinum record) and one Bora Maserati that was built from two chassis and registration was complicated, and about 100,000 photos from my world travels ) and all I took to St Petersburg were 2 suitcases and $6000. That was the first day of the rebirth of Russia after the terrible 90s. I had met the new president twice before and knew time to be the ultimate straight shooter, but also was going to have strong hostility from the US that had ruled Russia in the 90s. The new president would have a target on his back because despite wanting good relations with the Empire, his seeking to repair Russia was in direct conflict with the goals of Washington. It did not take long before he had upset Washington by trying to repair Russia and that anger and hostility increased continuously and growth, quality of life and services have improved every since year since 2000. For about 10 years the best place to start a small business or raise a child of the 93 countries I have spent time in, is Russia. Seeing the transformation from crashing crime ridden 90s to great quality of life and conditions to raise a family, no place tops Russia. He started from a weak position of 10 years of US meddling that created the vast income inequality and crime domination of Russian society. I have only been back to my native USA 5 times and seeing the decay, division and exploding homelessness is hard to witness. But the government has been captured by a small class of oligarchs who leve nothing left for the people. There are a thousand factions in the US and each one hates the other 999. It is a broken society, that can't tell the truth about anything. Europe is following their master into the dustbin of history. The future does not look bright for Europe or North America that is determined to start another war on Russia and China, all based on lies and will lose.
Russia is a land of opportunity. Not speaking the language and having little money I started 3 businesses, two almost hobby businesses and a 3rd that in a year grew to 83 employees. A young family or a couple wanted to start family, Russia is the place to be. It is extremely friendly to young families and those starting a business. The odds are 3 to 1 advantage starting a business in Russia because the cost of living is so low that the cost of supporting the founder's family is so low that the business has a much longer runway turn profitable before starting capital runs out.. The tax system is helpful and any sort of business can have legal status such as street musician.

If you look up Eli from Russia, that was about the closest encounter in that one region where everything is Islam based in that town where she was "Arrested" and held and had all her things searched through by police because someone said she was dealing drugs.
That is the Closest I have ever seen of the Police acting in this manner inside of Russia.
However, that's is like a DAILY occurrence here in America and MUCH more violent.
That kind of fear from police is here with EVERYONE everyday.
Unlike in other parts of the world where police are looked at on the same level as Fireman, that is NOT the case in America, Australia, & The U.K.
Things have gotten to the point where the society is so low trust in the west, they would rather not have any police at all and that is from both sides of the isle if your an American. Both Conservatives and Liberals.

No offense to this analysis, but it seems like a 'grass is greener on the other side' perspective. Our conservative values in Russia basically come down to no trans, and restrictions on gay propaganda in schools. Otherwise we have many of the same social problems as you guys (high divorce rates, high substance abuse rates, problems with illegal immigration, extremely low birth rate among ethnic Russians, degreening of cities, depopulation of rural areas, foods being filled with poisonous chemicals because its cheaper, etc.).

The concepts many conservatives abhor ('15 minute cities', digital living, including digitsl currency, etc) are being actively pushed and marketed over here.

Good morning, KGB isn't existing for 30 years now.
