Another great video. It's nice that Russians can focus on a lengthy Chritmas season. In the US, there is a lot going on from Halloween, to Thanksgiving, to Christmas, then New Years. The decorations in Russia are stunning. Your video was a perfect start to the Christmas Season.
I've been living in Moscow all my life. I'm 31 years old and nevertheless It's very interesting for me to watch your stunning videos. Thank u so much Russel
Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to make these types of videos and visit place I know so well from all the years I've lived here. Which to you and I are normal local places. But to put them on social media and show them to the world, i really does open the world up just that little bit more.
Very glad to see the Christmas season in Russia. Shelves well stocked and variety of choices. Love it. Haven't visited Russian yet, but plan to very soon. Would enjoy it. Thank you for the video.
Moscow, Russia is beautiful, gorgeous! I hope one day to visit Moscow, Russia. Thank you Russell. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you Russell and all of the Russian people. From USA.💯❤️🇷🇺🇺🇲🙏🎄🎁🎅🤶☃️
When I was a kid, I always wanted to visit New York at Christmas. But as a fully grown, middle-aged man, I would absolutely love to visit Moscow at Christmastime. If only circumstances were different. But thanks for allowing us to visit from afar.
Russia is an exquisite country. I admire mainly the architecture. Amazed by the hundreds of shopping centers. I hate to fly but someday i want to visit❤
Absolutely do! We in Russia welcome all good people! Apart from architecture, we have STUNNING nature in the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East. That's just for starters :)))
Hello, mate! :))) I'm a Russian who's lived in the USA and Canada but never been to Australia. How's Russian Chrismas/New Year shopping diffent from Australian? Except that Christmas is actually your Aussie summer, right? :)) Thank you for the love and respect you have for Russia and our culture!
Looks wonderful, I'd love to visit Moscow and St Petersburg. Lots of people shopping like we used to see in the UK. Thanks for giving us a taste of Christmas in Russia.
31:40 - they are New year's hares, and they are very traditional in Russia (and before that in the USSR). 2 traditional chocolate figurines in Russia for New Year are Father Frost and a hare. We do not have an easter's bunny here as a traditional symbol. It is possible to buy an easter's bunny, but they are always from the West. The symbol for Easter in Russia are eggs, and much less often chickens. By the way chocolate eggs have no connections for us to Easter, they are just cholocate eggs, a type of sweet.
The trolls are called "gnomes" throughout Scandinavia and in the US. My mom grew up in an area with many Russian immigrants in the US and we always keep our tree up through Epiphany, since so many in the area celebrated that as "Russian Christmas". Thank you for sharing this! I think it's important for people here in the US to be able to see what life in Russia is really like in a way that isn't through the lens of what the US government tells us. Keep up the great work! 😊
@@jerrylee4485 Please go with your political view somewhere else!! Dictator!?!? Let's not start mentioning so called democratic Germany and Europe. As democracy is a BIG MYTHE !!
for a foreigner, yes Ruble ROE is nice for tourists. Russians always need to watch their back if some officer of military recruiting service is walking behind you. The economy problems, no freedom of speech, no free elections, population decrease, brain drain, infrastructure falling apart etc etc for a day or two you can be blinded by nice christmas lights, but not for longer
Who are you trying to kid I have lived and worked all over the world the celebrate eastern orthodox Christmas for a start. The people are some of the rudest most inconsiderate I have ever encountered and it takes some going to beat the English in the rude stakes. The food is absolute garbage. Only place I have ever been to a Russian restaurant ordered 3 courses each course thinking surely the next course has got to be better. But nope paid the bill left and looked for another restaurant Italian it was still rubbish but at least it was just edible. I couldn't wait to leave the place and will never be going back.
Hey Russell love seeing the Russia dolls I’ve have two small ones and one large my mum bought me mine years ago they are lovely what a fantastic place thank you for sharing ❤
Asan is a monster of a supermarket! I could already feel a fight with my wife over putting "unneeded" things into the buggy. 😆😆😆(She shops with a list and if it is not on the list you are probably not going to get it).
Thank you Russell each time I see your channel it is just so inspiring informative and unique . I cannot wait to visit in 2025 using some of what you have taught me as my itinerary Greetings from a fellow Aussie !🇦🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🙏
Thank you for this video. The Russians must really love Christmas. Some of those decorations are so special. They must cost a fortune, they look like they are handmade wood carvings or something. Never seen anywhere that is so into Christmas. Love it!
🎉 Hello from Scotland Another great video that is informative by you, and that street lighting looks great. It appears Moscow and Glasgow Scotland, are experiencing similar weather over the past few weeks and it even snowed here about a week ago too. Lol😂
@ i love your videos which part of australia are you from btw? also could you please make a video of how russian gas station stores look like (if you havent done that already!)
Hoping for an improvement in global politics, so a Londoner like me can see beautiful Moscow without feeling a bit apprehensive. Definitely, it's got a lot of charm. The stores, very clean, don't see the loads of security guards there chasing shoplifters we're plagued with😅
Вот и проявилась разница восприятия, определяющая разницу названий: для Расселла это украшения к Рождеству, а для нас - к Новому году 🙂 Потому что в нашей российской традиции Рождество уже более чем сотню лет наступает ПОСЛЕ Нового года 🙃 (Церковный календарь до сих пор Юлианский, 13 дней разницы с Григорианским, а переход на Григорианский случился всего 106 лет назад, поэтому Новый год по старому стилю, тот самый "Старый Новый год" в ночь с 13 на 14 января, мы все еще празднуем с большим удовольствием, ибо праздников много не бывает 😊) Это просто интересный факт, в первую очередь для иностранцев, которые нажмут "перевести" под моим комментарием 🙃
@ОльгаЛазарева-ф3м я вообще из полумусульманско-полуправославного региона, у нас двойной набор религиозных праздников 😊 Друг друга поздравляем, и радостно, и выходной никогда не лишний 👌
@@albinaildanova3366 не, ну я лично только за, если б еще один набор выходных был 🙃 А так со всеми общаемся. В протестантской церкви у нас в городе проходят отличные органные концерты, а в костел меня однажды приглашали на камерный концерт барочной музыки. "Музыка на воде" в такой акустике - это что-то 😊
@@silwen9412вообще-то у нас рождественские считается как те и все те к новому году. А кто более глубоко, то 7 января . но все праздники и гуляния начинаются примерно с 25 декабря. Все это определяется, как Новый год. 🎄 такая уникальная общая новогодняя и рождественская программа празднования ознаменованая новым годом. 🎄🎉😊
Everything is so beautiful. Wonderful atmosphere and vibrant. All of the love and care put into the craftsmanship and designs of everything is blowing my mind. Here in America all of the products are so generic and plastic. Plastic everywhere. I really want to visit Russia
Since I live here in Russia now, my wife and I celebrate both dates. Although really in January is the main holidays in Russia. Also on the 31st December as well, we all wait for the chimes on Red Square at 12am.
In Russia, people congratulate each other on the joyful and bright holiday of the Nativity of Christ. I wish everyone peace, goodness, health and God's blessing. 🙏 ✨👼 🎄☃️
If someone wants to pay for travel expenses to visit these regions, of course I can. Most require you to stay overnight. I also dont have a car, so i rely on public transport to get there.
My first Christmas Tree of the year again thank you Russell love to see the bright blues and reds I know it's Russia! Love the the walk abouts Guum the first tree 🌲of the season chocolates🍫🍫🍫🍫🍬🍬🍬🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭....🐍s
Russell, thank you for New Year mood😊 This is my favourite holiday, but in my family , we start decorating the windows of our apartment with electric garlands in early December , unlike our neighbours. Someone's windows glow with New Year's lights all year round 😂 We put up and decorate Christmas tree on the eve of New Year 🕛 Also thank you for interesting video! I was especially impressed with the New year's (Christmas) toys in GUM.
Ok, so perhaps they have allowed them to be sold in America now. I was just reading the ones they sell now are called Kinder Joy, slightly different to the original ones, which are eggs with toys inside.
question. since most Russians live in Apartments/Flats. Where the in the world would people store all their Christmas decorations??? From what I see most flats/apartments have very limited areas for storage for normal things like clothing, bedding, shoes, and not many people have extra spare rooms, and there are no basements, and yard sheds. So I am perplexed.
Спасибо вам, Рассел за то, что показываете нашу страну всему миру такой, какая она есть на самом деле! Для нас главный праздник - это Новый Год. К нему мы готовимся, украшаем все и покупаем подарки. Рождество Христово - через неделю после НГ 7 января. И это тихий домашний праздник. А еще мы отмечаем Старый новый год 14 января, потом Крещение... а там и до весны можно дотянуть😊
So beautiful and festive! Also the "trolls" are actually called "gnomes" in America. I have several in my Christmas collection. I really would love to visit Moscow someday and pray relations with our government become much better with our new administration. Many American citizens recognize that we are similar in many ways in that we love our Country and just want to be left alone to live a good life. Anyhow thanks for the window into your beautiful city and wishing you a Merry Christmas ❤

Gosh those lights are almost touching the peoples heads, on that street at the start of the video, I am amazed vandals didn't pull them down to the ground.
@@TravellingwithRussell no, it's not relevant at all for Russians! Russian Christmas is on 7th January. New Year and Christmas are different celebrates. And it's important for the Russians, yeah.
Great video and beautiful holiday sights. A cultural question for your subscribers. I live in the US and have traveled to numerous states. It is common when visiting shopping areas or walking down crowded streets, to see most people either carrying their cell phone or using it to talk, text or just surf. It's as if US citizens' are addicted to their cell phones. Yet when I watch your videos of Russia, I rarely see anyone with a cell phone in hand or in use even though I'm sure they own one. Why is that? Thank you and I look forward to visiting Russia in the future. I look forward to your Christmas in Moscow video.
When is the right time to start putting up your holiday decorations? November, December or maybe even Janurary if your here in Russia. Do you make a point of going to the shops to look for new items to display, or do you go into the cobard and pull out last years stuff? let me know in the comments.

You are wrong. Please check your google.

Actually in scandinavia we dont celebrate santa claus, we celebrate the ”tomte”. Which is a pagan thing.

The high today is going to be 24 C and overnight low 13 C where I live.
It didn't even get over 0c today in Moscow.
That pastry at 4 min looks like kurtos kalacs
ITS CHRISTMAS DECOR DUDEE
Gosh those lights are almost touching the peoples heads, on that street at the start of the video, I am amazed vandals didn't pull them down to the ground.
New Year, bro. New Year, not Christmas.
It's all relevant, depending on what you celebrate.
@@TravellingwithRussell no, it's not relevant at all for Russians! Russian Christmas is on 7th January. New Year and Christmas are different celebrates. And it's important for the Russians, yeah.
@@TravellingwithRussellRussians celebrate New Year
Have some nice Soviet style supper at stolovaya 57 in GUM!
JUST WAIT UNTIL JANUARY 😅😅😅😅 DAMNNN CROWD HASSLE IN THE MARKET
Great video and beautiful holiday sights. A cultural question for your subscribers. I live in the US and have traveled to numerous states. It is common when visiting shopping areas or walking down crowded streets, to see most people either carrying their cell phone or using it to talk, text or just surf. It's as if US citizens' are addicted to their cell phones. Yet when I watch your videos of Russia, I rarely see anyone with a cell phone in hand or in use even though I'm sure they own one. Why is that? Thank you and I look forward to visiting Russia in the future. I look forward to your Christmas in Moscow video.
Да ладно!? В России тоже все в телефонах сидят как зомби! особенно в транспорте!
А раньше ведь читали книги!
Hardware store was the best
There is more selection there in Russia than here in Canada. Also the stores are so huge, one really needs comfortable shoes.
That's for sure, especially in the larger shopping malls.
Are you going to celebrate Russian Christmas period or Western Christmas period. Also how will our dockers go in2025?
Have you ever seen Nativity scenes in this mall? I know there are Christians in Russia. Thank you for any responses.

Only beautiful russia ❤💐⚘🌷🇷🇺
