'Buy me a coffee', use a VPN?
I am confused. Does the coffee link work for you in Russia or no? I know of others in Russia that use and it works.
in Canada many cites surfer similar salt-durt-mellted - snow condition///
You should tell them in reference to Vodka in the united Kingdom we drink Vodka Like real men By taking a Vodka enema up our southern most sphincter and then dare them to do just that LoL
Look for sponsors in Russia. Advertising within the video about russian services or products... you're fluent in russian, take advantage of it... for instance, how about local business from Vladimir???... also, cryptocurrency can be trade avoiding sanctions... there you go some tips...
My Family in UK are brainwashed to hate Russia, except me, Ive been watching Russian videos online for years.
Same, it's sad and all i can do is pity them. 🇬🇧❤🇷🇺️
What has Russia done to the British that they hate us so much? How can it be even possible?😢
My stephmother is a Russian and i am a Jew. I really love Russian Christians they kept the Anunaki out!
Yep, same here in the US. It's terrible. I bet almost no one watched the big Putin Interview a few weeks ago, and that was the most important interview of the 21st century IMO.
@@Windband1 And yet they ALL have an opinion about an interview they didn't watch, right? It's pretty absurd; they don't realize they are at least as propagandized as they believe Russians are.
Been in Russia for 18 years. I love this place but there are some things which annoy me
1) The dust. Russia doesn't have litter or graffiti everywhere. But the dust is insane.
2) Russians often complain about corruption and getting shafted by others. But most Russians never read instructions or contracts thus allowing themselves to get done over
3) From the last point. Russians have many rights but will never bother finding out about them. If they do, they ask a friend or relative.
4) The work ethic could be more efficient
5) Many Russians are amazing people, highly educated. But many over 30 are very immature when it comes to responsibility and accountability.
6) The winter can be a pain in the arse. Especially that time like now when the snow melts and everywhere is filthy for a couple of weeks.
Apart from that, i could list a million things that make Russia the best place to be. And in my 18 years, this country has changed so much in the right direction.
We’ve both been here for about the same amount of time so we’ve experienced the same things!
Instructions are for robots and not for Russians. Regarding work: this country still keeps some remnants of socialism, equal distribution of wealth, and this type of ideas. There are many proverbs: "the work is not wolf, it won't run to the forest", "the most of work at kolkhoz was done by horse but it never managed to become director", etc. The work probably could be more effective, but again, effective for who - company directors, company owners or .... I have lived in few countries, including China and I may say they seem to be very effective in their overseas image but not always it is reality, and their labor terms are awful compared to Russia, 5 days vacation after 2nd year of employment.. 5... it sounds like humiliation. 2 weeks of vacation in the US also doesnt seem to feel like a paradise. I feel sorry for Russians moving to the US, they don't get its different attitude, someone can be fired at 1 moment in the US corporate world.
Russia will never become 2nd West in terms of work efficiency, but as a Russian I justify such behavior.
Dust is awful, its soil composition, nothing can be done about and it is truly annoying.
15 years ago we saw many Europeans in Moscow as a corporate directors and management level. Well, some were nice, but some behaved as if they were governors of the colony. Maybe due to the stress of dealing with Russian employees, however Im happy all of them are out of the country )))) for next 20 years ) thats also a thing, I've noticed that after coming back, the national pride overhere is on a very high level. I'm not saying its good or bad, just saying ....
I admire people who stayed for such a long time in a non-native environment. Should be some spiritual connection
@wellardme @AnnaLianhua
Great comments, - well observed.
4. We have a seasonal type of living style. We can do impossible, heroic things in a short period of time but then we need a period of relaxation. It's a well-known fact, it has to do with the climate and survival strategy in that climate.
Here in South America, people are as brainwashed as your friends and relatives in the UK. People know nothing about Russia, China, Iran, etc, and they believe all sorts of crazy stuff.
For intance, last week my father said Russia is governed by the Communists. When I tried to explain that Putin is no Communist but a centrist politician, and that the Communist Party is relatively small, he just didn't believe me.
A few days ago, my 16-year-old nephew told his parents that he is tired of learning French and would like to learn Russian instead. The family was in shock!!!
Yes, once here or on a similar channel one person wrote something like Wow, how cool, Russia should be allowed entrepreneurship so that it would be the best... I would spit out my tea if I was drinking it at the time I read it 😅
Russians don 't like communists , they are populists and liars .
"and that the Communist Party is relatively small, he just didn't believe me"
Tell him the simple truth, that the Russian communist party is the main opposition in Russia.
While Putin, he's basically Tager Erlander and the Swedish Social democrats of the 1960s. Which i really wish we could have back.
While the Russian communists are nowhere near Soviet era communists.
"Here in South America, people are as brainwashed as your friends and relatives in the UK."
Latin America is still vastly less indoctrinated. You would be scared if you saw what has become normal here in Sweden.
putin literally tries to build new USSR. Yes, he is Communist and always was
Putin is a Centerist? What the hell are you smoking. Yes, I guess I understand, because most South American countries are like Russia, Autocratic. You don't understand Democracy.
Take some Political Science courses to open your mind.
Canadian here, considering moving to Russia. Your videos are very informative. Thank you!
Canadian here, bye. Have you seen... Canadian parents who wanted to raise their 8 kids with "traditional values" moved to Russia. Wife now says, "I'm ready to jump on a plane and get out of here."
The grass is not always greener!
You cannot just move to Russia. Its not that simple. You need an invite. It is not easy
@richardpaquette8429 what are you talking about ? Why do you catch this phrase out of context ? Arend s family stays , you are a bot
@@richardpaquette8429 after all she’s not kept hostage, isn’t she? They can go back any time, though the route may be difficult but it’s a way home so possiblye to tolerate
@@lidiapannacotta Well I'm not a bot. You missed the main point of my comment...
The grass is not always greener! On many different lists of "Best Country to Live In"
Russia isn't even in the top twenty. Me personally, I would not have used the word HATE to describe things I dislike. I did not say they left but Aneessa did say she "I'm ready to jump on a plane and get out of here." After all who would be stupid enough to go to a country to start a new life without learning the language. But now the local authorities are helping that special family.
People feel better in summer because they get a lot of vitamin D from the sun. In winter take a vitamin D you'll feel better.
Vit D is very important esp from the natural sun
Не сказал бы. Я родился и вырос в Петербурге,и когда я еду на юг - мне очень плохо,плохое самочувствие из-за солнца и жары. Все зависит от места рождения. И,кстати,северяне менее привержены к онкологическим заболеваниям. Слишком много ультрафиолетовых лучей от солнца активирует раковые клетки. Это доказано учеными
@@user-sw7ov6ne1f Sorry let me explain better. White people that don't go outside a lot have low vitamin if they don't go outside. Since white people are light skin we are able to absorb vitamin D very fast even if its just our face exposed to the sun light.
Also you can get vitamin D from the foods you eat also. So if you get a good amount of vitamin D from foods your all set.
If you are from the North your blood will be thicker and will have to thin out before you can get use to the area. A lot of people have this issue that live in America that are from Boston or New York and move to Florida.
My sister was in Florida for ten years and even at high 70's or 80 degrees she would not put on the air conditioner. My parents went down to Florida and said its too hot down there.
One of my friends said it can take a year or two just so your blood to thin out and get use to the heat.
I have slowly convinced my friends not to hate on Russia so much. They are seeing the truth finally. Really enjoy your videos Sam!
Thanks. It’s not their fault though. People are conditioned to hate Russia and also not to believe anyone who tells them otherwise!
Relax, the majority of Russians hate Russia.
@@zz675oor Whatever!
@@SamsRussianAdventures I have always loved Russia for various reasons. That has not changed. But I hate Putin and his clique. That is also possible.
I agree. It's sad I have always had interest in Russia and try to be open minded. I also ignore the news.@@SamsRussianAdventures

Hi Sam, I'm a Russian who has been living in the Netherlands for 23 years, now I'm 33 and finally made the decision to sell my house and move back to Russia together with my wife. The main reason for that is the growing discrimination of Russians in the Netherlands and I don't want my kid's to experience the same level of bluntness and ignorance. Plus, Russia is the only place where the cold weather makes you appreciate the warmth of your babushka's borsht even more. Time to embrace the motherland and its unique blend of chaos and coziness! До скорых встреч и удачи тебе и твоей семье, может как нибудь встретимся на улицах Владимира :)
Such interesting insights into life in Russia as a foreigner. Thanks for sharing your unique perspective.
Enjoying your video. Personally, I enjoy the honest content and will come back for more.
I think the major issue here Sam is 'integration' . From watching your videos I can see you have integrated into the Russian way of life and have learnt the language, People are people no matter where you are and some of them can be condescending to incomers of course. At least where you are the differences between the British and Russian ordinary everyday people are minimal. Politicians and propaganda spoil everything. I haven't watched TV for over 14 years nor listened to BBC radio broadcasts and I'm a lot more open minded and content than I used to be. I do however know exactly what's going on around the globe and I know the history of Russia's present conflict issues of which I've attempted to pass on to the uninformed ( with little positive results). If I was 20 years younger, I'd be joining you out there believe me.
Same here, we cancelled our TV licence in 2014, I try and read all media sources, it is painfull sometimes, but we need to know what the other side believes. I am often surprised to find myself in agreement with those I thought my "enemy". The greatest danger to the powerful is that we down here get along and so they keep stoking devision.
@@mariasofia5257 We call it lievision for a reason!
That horrible in between winter and springtime, where the snow is melting and turns into a mucky mess, reminds me of a funny saying a friend used to say... "I'm as pure as the driven slush". 😄
Slush..slush .🤔 🤩 🍓 Strawberry slushi, frozen margarita..
В 2018 году мы отдыхали с семьей на Кипре. в России в это время как раз проходил чемпионат мира по футболу. В гостинице было много россиян, англичан. Были немцы , поляки . Это была небольшая гостиница и мы все в каком то смысле сдружились , ведь , как известно спорт объединяет. Ну так вот матч Россия - Испания. Напряжение было настолько велико , так что один разгоряченный болельщик потерял сознание не совладав со своим волнением( стоит отметить , что это был англичанин по имени Гарри- прекраснейший человек ) . Исход матча решился на последнем ударе пенальти и это была победа сборной России. Всей гостиницей мы праздновали эту победу и поздравляли друг друга. Как же это было здорово... А теперь даже не вериться, что такое было с нами. Война ,война , война , русские убийцы , санкции, санкции , санкции . Мир сошел с ума.
Спасибо тебе дорогой друг Сэм за твои видео о России. Дай Бог тебе здоровья
Как это точно - ‘мир сошел с ума’😢полностью согласен
Corporate Globalists are making their coordinated attack on The People’s world. (The tyrannical World Economic Forum, U.N. "agenda 2030", W.H.O. "One Health System", dangerous "jabs", the International Bankster Elite, etc.) This is OUR world, folks! The People’s world!! NOT the Corporate Globalist Cabal’s world!! In solidarity and common purpose, Rise, Resist, and Reclaim for The People of the World EVERYWHERE!!
Западный мир всегда был сумасшедшим в отношении России. Автор этого канала Сэм - всего лишь исключение из общего правила.
Не мир сошел с ума. А россияне со своим полоумным фюрером. Удивительное непонимание поступков и следствий. Не стали бы россиняе фашистами и не напали на Украину - жили бы себе дальше. Привыкайте, это не скоро закончится. Никто не любит фашистов и нацистов. Еще ваши правнуки будут стыдиться того, что вы с вашим фюрером натворили и извиняться за вас.
Russia. A great country with great people! Yes there are problems like any country but unlike us in the UK, Russia is moving in the right direction.
These sanctions are unjustified, the irony is your probably more free out there in Russia than you would be in the UK right now...
English man sentenced to 2 years prison for putting up tiny stickers " Its alright to be white"
Get real.
Look what just happened to Sam Melia. I think you are right.
LOL. No. Dare him so say anything against war, russian government and putin. He will be thrown in prison next day and his russian viewers from this page will rat him out to KGB.
@@yankeeapple5615 2 years prison for many prominent stickers inciting hatred towards immigrants or 7 years prison for 5 small stickers in a supermarket inciting awareness of your own government's war policy.
sanctions are about separating people, not about fighting corruption. dirty roads are a disaster, but it's getting better with years as new districts are built, replacing older from Soviet period.
we all live in one big world, travel and see for yourself how people live and what they think, respect other opinions how you respect other skin colors, and we all will live in peace!

I found all you vloggers in Russia right after Tucker Carlson interviewed with Putin.
That’s brilliant! Though I’ve had this channel for 7 years now!!!! Welcome 🙏
Я с Донбасса. Почему Вы не видали как нас убивала украина?
А когда Россия пришла нас защитить то весь мир против России. России не нужна Европа. Америке нужна слабая Россия. Но мы народ Донбасса Русский народ.
@@user-yl9sw4ed2f I know of these RUclipsrs. If you on and look at Konstantin for example then you will see that he started his channel by saying that he left the US and moved back to Russia. His business was massively affected by sanctions and so I understand his pain. NFKRZ decided to leave Russia when it became difficult to receive youtube money without paying a huge commission due to sanctions. It’s sanctions which affected them both. I completely understand that you are brainwashed into thinking that Russia is a place where you can’t say anything that goes against the agenda. In the US, thousands have been arrested for protesting against the US support of Israel. People have been put in prison for protesting against the police brutality and racism.
I love your videos, and love russia even more beacuse of you. Thank you man!!!!!!!
Hi Sam! Love your videos, your kind attitude and honest portrayal of life in Russia. These algorithms are indeed nasty, but you're doing a great job. Please keep it up! Telling the truth is so important.
Speaking of those people you mention closer to the end of this video - not all of us Russians are like that!😅 Also, trust me, these people don't intend to be mean or something. They just want to impress you in such a somewhat odd manner. Don't hesitate and challenge them in return - you can just say hey, let's see who's better at banya/shashlik here mate! Thing is, we love a good competition and a good laugh, and as soon as you turn it all into a bit of fun, you are guaranteed to make some new friends. Afterwards, you'll probably see those people's better sides, too😉
Vladimir looks so cozy and nice. I've only been there once, in winter, and there was so much snow! We don't always have that much snow where I live.
Btw, come over to Saratov and see the Volga one day - I'm sure you'll have a lot to show to your viewers here, too!
Wishing you best of luck with your channel and thank you for your amazing work!
@katheriner - Yes, aye. Sam can say ‘i have been here half my life’.
Great comment though.
I applaud you for your stance and how you explain the hypocrisy of the western world. By now you know for sure who the bad guy is. Well, you certainly don't have snow in the UK and you don't know what it is :) But on the other hand you have rain and bad weather, so it's not better in the UK either. I like that you have your own opinion and defend it with your videos. Regards from Bulgaria
Thanks!
Wow! David!!! Thank you so much for your generosity! You are very kind!!! Amazing!
Gj supporting Sam!
@@user-yl9sw4ed2f it’s a typical response from someone who is too tight to ever help anyone.
Some of these things are counter intuitive because fans of your channel are probably over the politics, and don't necessarily need to see the shallow things such as pretty girls (its not like there's a shortage of that online)... so don't forget us people who are just interested in the life and times of a regular British guy living in a small city in Russia and what goes on there.
Many of the True Humans are over the "politics" as we are too involved in LIFE.
Agree, pretty girls from all over the world are saturating the internet, I can easily see a different naked one every day. I watch these ( Sam) type videos to escape the pretty girls who only talent is sitting in a car putting on make up, talking crap, or tidying up her room, or her early morning routine, talentless, but have female privilege.
As for the last reason, it seems it’s time to introduce award badges so that Russians or friends understand what level you are at) For example, “level 1”: I was in the bathhouse, ate shish kebab, drank vodka. “Level 2”: jumped into an ice hole, climbed a pole to get gifts for Maslenitsa. “level 3”: I was sick with a hangover after drinking, I drank again in the morning to get rid of the consequences. ... ... "Level 5": why are you bothering me? I am Russian! 😂😂

Здравствуйте, вы знаете блогера с канала Шекспир плачет? Он англичанин живет в России много лет в Санкт-Петербурге. Снимает интервью с иностранцами что живут в России. Обрусевшие?
yes
Don't eat yellow snow, lol. I love the fact that Russia has 4 seasons. Where I am in Australia we have 2 seasons, hot humid summer and cooler summer.
I understand what you are saying about the expats there. I for one, will immerse myself in Russian culture. This is one of the main draws to Russia. There are expats who don't even make an effort to learn the language. Hell, I'm still in the US and I feel I speak more Russian than some expats there! Make an effin effort! If for anything, for the courtesy of it.
It doesn't matter what language he speaks. In Russia, it does not matter much, knowledge of the Russian language is necessary in order to make life more comfortable. But if a person is comfortable without knowing Russian, this is his own business. I knew a British man who had lived in Russia for many years, but his knowledge of Russian was so poor that he could not even order coffee in a restaurant.
@@DIOS-M Personally, I don't understand how it is possible to live in another country for years and not learn the local language and still feel comfortable. I won't go into details, but I have heard of a man who married a local woman (not in Russia and not a Russian woman), had several children with her, and still hasn't learned the local language decades later.
If it's important for them to find a bride here, but they don't care about the country/culture/language itself - yes, this is ignorance. And laziness. And perhaps low intelligence = inability to learn another language). Nevertheless, the number of brides for him will decrease, because some girls will not be happy with this ignorance.
@@ortolitore1522 In USA many Mexicans dont speak no English despite living here for years. You can go to a large Farmers Market and ask employees about something and they dont understand a word in English 😄 Some people just dont want to learn, too bad for them.

Well done Sam, hang in there, I'm from Ireland and watch your videos from time to time but will now subscribe to help you that little bit more. How have you managed to get by without speaking Russian as that surely is a requirement to becoming a citizen. I too have a fascination with Russia and am coming over at the end of April 2024 but sadly the e-visa only allows me 16 days in the country. I've booked into a Hotel in Moscow for 4 days and then will visit a friend in Kursk so that I can experience rural culture and the way of life in the smaller Cities and Villages . I would love to chat you personally to ask a few added questions that I feel is not befitting under the general comment section.

I know we don't get that much snow in the UK but I absolutely agree, I like the snow when we get it but that period of time at the end when it turns to slush with all the dirt and road salt mixed in is just nasty and depressing.
But we celebrate spring more joyfully
As an Australian my number one complaint is the long winter but it was so bleeding obvious it was going to be an issue before I went to Russia. Kinda like a sailor complaining about the ocean. ;-)
The Jimmy Dore Show has just done a video on Oscars pushing anti Russian hatred. Best documentary gets worthless Oscar for hate speech.
Happy First Day of Real Spring to everyone according to the Julian calendar (-13 days from the current Gregorian calendar). ☺💯
Good video Sam, really enjouyed it. Realy like the funny brainwashing thing. Keep up the good work and take care. :)
I really think, little by little, the tide is starting to turn Sam. Some of us are waking up and realising we have been brainwashed for so long and are trying to look beyond that and learn for ourselves. Which is why I love channels like yours that are open and honest and show us the real Russia. My eyes have been truly opened to Russian culture architecture and the landscape. I really hope one day I will be able to visit and explore for myself. Keep up the good 👍
Great video, mate! Thank you, you're spot on with these thoughts. Lots of respect for what you're doing in Russia. Lots of respect for your courage with being a "foreigner", just lots of respect altogether. Keep plugging away, and, maybe soon, we westerners will realise that you're on the right side of history. I'm not the only one who does. People are changing more quickly than you might think. All the very best, pal!
Fantastic video again Sam.
It has been a nightmare going back to England via Turkey.
To transport our cat to Moscow cost over £3800. Sanctions have caused us problems. It's the ordinary people who suffer not the politicians who made up this infair and unjust sanctions.
Please continue your fantastic videos. They are great .
We travel to Moscow from London at least once a year and don’t see really big problem going via Istanbul - interesting city, good food, warm sea. Of course it costs more but stopovers in Istanbul are added benefits.

I've done that "Press Record" thing too. I used to video weddings and I noticed it half way through the reception.
I nearly died at the possibility i'd major goofed and couldn't check it until the next day.
Miraculously I'd done it whilst walking around the reception getting candid shots !
Taught me a lesson though... Check and double check that record icon is in the corner !
I have read many a review of Go-Pro machines with the user stating exactly this very issue.
I am unsure the benefit over a GoPro and a top end iPhone. I must try it or look for reviews of side by side comparison.

that's some cool looking house at 2:08. you should try to make a video just about it: if it's old - then about its history, if it's a new one - maybe take an interview with an owner to ask them why did they build one

Enjoyed hearing your insights about living in Russia.
I lived in the Philippines for 6 years but I was never able to form a circle of expat friends.
I did love living there though. I met many intriguing Filipina women.
I could go on and on but some of the expats are not friend material...so was better off a semi hermit...always loved my solitude anyway.
Happy Trails Sam...
I have recently bumped to one more freshly baked channel called "Home in Russia". One more American/Australian couple and 6 kids moved to Russia from the USA last month...Not much content's in there for now, however let's support that brave family with the subscribtion.
Hi, I saw it just now, though I think they moved here a year ago and only just started their channel 2 weeks ago.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I rewatched their story you were right, they moved last September to Russia, about half a year ago...

I used to subscribe to many of those Russian RUclipsrs. But canceled them. There were so many that were bad mouthing their own Mother Russia...and stated..."I have left Russia"...Well...Sorry...I have left your channel.
I would rather watch videos about your Country, Cities, Homes, Cuisine, Art, Culture, Fashion..Really everything. You have a great following. Keep up what you're doing and what makes you happy.
God Bless
Yes, it happen the same to me... Many Russian pro-west talking bad about Russia ... Disagreeable..
15:15 This happens pretty much in most places when a non-native is present except in Switzerland and a few NorthernEuropean areas where you'll pretty much be ignored/invisible even when you try to interact with them ...then you'll beg for that annoying local 'friendliness'. 😂
Love the video Sam.. Feel hypnotised and the need to buy you lots of coffeeeeeee 🥴
100% agree with you Sam about sanctions, they seem to be biased and clearly unfair..
Other countries perform the same actions as Russia ie USA but they don't get sanctioned.
If sanctions are going to be applied, they need to be applied by an independent body, not by the country with the loudest voice.
I thought the sanctions are not only ineffective but making Russia stronger.
Why should Europe or the USA have friendly relations with a country that threatens nuclear war ?
How many times has Russia said it will launch a nuclear attack on Berlin, London etc ?
How many times have the Free World threatened Russia with a nuclear attack ? Never !
Who is the aggressor ?

sanctions are an act of war which is why they're never fair
Россия никогда не делала то же что и США. Ты что-то путаешь.
Something I want to add here. I grew up in the 1960's and graduated high school in 1981. During all that time most of us were worried about the possibility of nuclear war. After graduating I got a job and had other things to worry about but the cold war was always with me.
Today I found a channel with US military films called Nuclear Vault. I saw a B-52 bomber drop an actual H-bomb in one of the early 60's tests and Minuteman ICBM's taking off in unarmed test flights. Those images brought back the old fears very quickly.
I pray we do not see those things for real.
grate vid sam ;) and totely agree. second point about falling out with people even tho you live here but they chose to listen to tv more..... had that my self a few times lol
Удивительно, что мне давно не приходили уведомления о твоих новых видео. Но тут я увидел в строке уведомлений моего телефона, что ты ненавидешь что-то в России. В итоге просиотрев твой ролик я полностью согласен с твоими словами. RUclips действительно рекомендует видео с негативным посылом о России.
I also experienced a long hiatus in notifications from this channel but the first one that I received after this famine, a few weeks ago, was entitled 'Why I love Russia, and why you will love Russia too'.
Well, I for one, really enjoy and value your videos, Sam. 🇨🇦🇷🇺
We want to learn about people there. We have been lied to for decades and it’s time for the truth! Thank you for showing us !!
So glad I found your channel 😊
I am a American and I don't believe anything what they are saying about Russia like to come to Russia one day.
This honest video got you a new sub. I’m an ex pat Brit living on the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦 I can sympathize about those Russian winters
Interesting fact, Sam. While i was watching that video it freesed for several times. All videos on RUclips i watched before and after worked properly)))
Always nice to see a different perspective on life in Russia.
My russian pharmacist in Copenhagen says she moved cause of the bureaucracy, 😊, she is clever and sweet.
Thanks for sharing, when did she move?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Love Sam, actually she moved from Belarus to Copenhagen, but she said Belarus is also Russia, I start to believe every human can find his/hers favourite country in this world, mostly every country has it's own charm. Too bad people are slaves of whatever country they come from. It should be more free to move between countries. Too bad the US & UK have to believe they had God-like status .
truly reason - sausage
Having lived in The Netherlands for many years, I recognise a few of the things you mentioned in the last 20 mins of your video....the remarks and criticisms that you received. I have had the same experience as yourself... and it took me a while to realise that the majority of this may just be banter. I have you ever tried giving them some "push back".. i.e taking the micky out of them ? I'm pretty sure that they would appreciate it..
Thank you for your videos Sam!
В городе Мариуполь есть блогер, которая как раз ставит негативные заголовки, типа "Смотрите что натворила Россия!", видео набирают нормальное количество просмотров, но в самом видео позитив
Посмотрев от русского говорящего вроде.
Russia bombed Mariupol into oblivion killing thousands.
@@redrev674 you need to watch the RUclipsr from there. Might be a difficult watch for you though.
@@SamsRussianAdventures You can get a direct unbiased view of Mariupol on Google Earth. It is indeed a difficult watch.
The Financial Times also had an article on the reconstruction a few days ago under the title 'Inside Mariupol: Russia's new Potemkin village'.

Well if bill C-36 passes in Canada you can go to jail for life if someone deems you committed hate speach against them or an organization. For anyone especially podcasts or RUclips videos. 😢
I’m not Canadian but read a lot of backlash against C-36. Is it going to pass?
@@run2fire most likely it will with the NDP backing up the Liberal minority government. We can’t get an election here fast enough. As of April the first the carbon tax will go from 60 to 83 % so everything will be triple the cost. From food to fuel to heat your home gas will be like $1:83 a litre in some provinces. It’s insane.
Sam, I watch your videos for the blunt honesty you present. Thank you, sir!
I want you to know that I and so many people love the content you produce because of your honesty.
I have been married to a Russian for over 20 years.

Should you have been questioned because you used a word? Even if you discussed real plans, no one would show any sign to will catch you red-handed.
Thank youfor these sober and objective views.
The secondary effects of sanctions are interesting, but that and other things related to politics are not primary or secondary reasons for watching your channel. The proliferation of anti-Russian propaganda channels and their content repels me. What a pity the powers that be find whipping herds of people up into hating other people they don't know so useful. Greetings from Texas, and best wishes to you and your Russian friends.

Hey, Sam, have you been looking into RuTube monetization rules ? It says, you need only 5k views total for them to look into your channel to allow monetization. Smaller platform for sure, but you can try to ask your viewers to watch your content there also to boost views.
His audience is English speakers in the West, and they don’t use RuTube.
Love your videos Sam,like to see how the common normal people live,
I appreciate your work, Sam.
Looks very much like Canada’s "Winter grime", Sam! Focus on the sky and the smiles of the people!
Thanks for sharing brother 🙏
My two cents. The videos from Russia are always talking about sanctions and the impact of sanctions. Personally, as an American, I can get that via Google and looking at the issues Russia faces with it's 2024 Budget, Decline of Gold Reserves, troubles with Oil sales and production, flat health care and education budgets, etc. Also, being in Russia yourself, you are never going to cover that 100% because your focus is in other areas. The RUclips videos from Russia in the supermarkets done by others are really patronizing to me personally and presume I am stupid. So avoid those, I have an Economics minor. What I want to see more as an American is Russian Apartments, Transit Systems, life in Russia. You can drop the politics as well, I can get that via the media or one on one contact with Russians living in Russia (easy to do via the internet). So that is my two cents on this topic.
Thanks mate! I honestly am tired of politics and sanctions but those are the two subjects which bring in the views! That’s why I get burned out because I’m tired to make videos about these topics.
Enjoy your informative video keep it up
I agree a lot of people in my country are brainwashed when it comes to Russia.
Im not 1 of those people, having said that i think it works both ways a lot of Russians will be brainwashed about the west its not all 1 sided.
Having travelled myself i have come to learn people will be people no matter what country your from or living in there's good and bad everywhere.
Good video sam thanks for sharing 👍
TYPICAL GROCERY STORES MENTIONED :D:D:
🤣🤣🤣
Another great video! Very raw and honest. Maybe you should "blacken" one eye and say "you Fell down".. lol. Stuff like that!?
Hey Sam Not everyone looks through the Main Stream Media's lenses when it comes to Russia. I believe most Russian people are good and just want to raise their families.
Sam, you're an honest guy in a dishonest world. The power of big tech is really scary, not the power of the imagined Russia. I just don't understand the level of prejudice being applied by the Western propaganda machine.
Keep up your good work mate.
I was watching a video by Michael Collins who said there was an alternative to paypal but actually russian.
I really enjoy your videos, especially on sunny days with blue skys. My area in Canada is heavily "con-trailed", I noticed though that they dissipate in Russia, I wonder why that is?
So far, you've been saying what you don't like about western media. What is it about Russia that you don't like? Do you like the plumbing? The electrical grid? Road maintenance?
Ive also recorded a video of this topic (just to clear in advance) you know why D:
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I made a video about NFKRZ but I was scared to upload it and I copied this thumbnail from Dan!!!!
@@SamsRussianAdventuresNFKRZ очень отвратительный парень. Из-за него Бенджамин из канала bald and bankrupt лишился права на въезд в Россию.
NFKRZ предатель Родины, который потянул за собой ни в чем невиновного британца.
Сэм, дело не в том что вас хотят обидеть, вы просто их не понимаете, разница в менталитете, мы русские если угощаем, то от души, и хотим может быть чем то удивить иностранца, развеять стереотипы о нас русских. Вы же более сдержаны, и вас некоторая фамильярность может раздражать.
Есть которые гостеприимные и есть которые просто мозги делают.
@@SamsRussianAdventures ой, это очень даже понятно, у нас мало иностранцев, поэтому люди некоторые себя неестественно ведут
@@user-ym6ft8dj3j да, думаю, что люди просто не привыкли и иногда ведут себя странно (но не злобно!)
@@SamsRussianAdventuresВ России по-другому воспринимают вежливость, просто будьте немного резким и честным, чтобы сразу поняли кто есть кто.
