The young lady who mentioned the scientists and everything else was by far the best.
She has her own channel: youtube.com/@MilenaSimpleRussianGirl?si=P08g3zNTAVmYrqax
She was being snarky...and poking fun at Russia's technical backwardness.
What is Russia famous for? Sams adventures off course, and Melina!
Hahaha thanks
What a beautiful place and sunny weather . When the buildings and streets of this ancient city are repaired , it will be fine there .
I think they deliberately keep them in this condition as some are 1000 years old.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Well no. It 's just that the local authorities don 't have enough money for restoration . Not only ancient architectural monuments need restoration , but also the city as a whole , the urban infrastructure . But I have heard that there is a new state program for the restoration of ancient Russian cities to increase domestic tourist activity .
Not discussing current events when I think of Russia I think of Red Square and Tchaikovsky. My favorite composer by far.... Also some really good hockey players
Interesting. I think red square is the most famous Russian landmark
@@SamsRussianAdventures Definitely. Have you ever been there during a military parade?
@@NeoTemplar yes, but not in Moscow. I have a video about it. I can’t remember what it’s called.
Hello from deepest Nottingham,another great video showing that Russia/Russians are just like anyone else,despite our media's negativity,I would love to visit,and couldn't give a shit what anyone else thinks,if I were younger I'd probably want to move there myself.
Hope you come and Visit mate! Did you watch that series set in Nottingham? Actually could have been Mansfield. They said “eh up me duck” too much for my liking.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I did Sam,you rarely hear it nowadays,apart from a few old uns
@@SamsRussianAdventures not being able to fly direct put the cost of flying very high,I hear a cheaper way would be to fly to Estonia and cross the border with Russia on foot
@@andyb617 or to Riga and then get the train
Putin is looking for some more cannon fodder...if you can walk you're good to go!
Hi see you again, the environment is very clean well maintained. Thanks for sharing your interesting discussion with locals.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It's very clean here in the cities.
Yes I really like how clean every city seems to be. And I like it law and order! Plus such beautiful women! Their women appear to me to be great mothers and wives.
Thank you so much for this video. Russia is a great country! ❤❤❤🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤❤❤
It really is! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙏
a country much better than you expect it to be
100%
Thank you so much Sam. You showed us that Russian people finally have started to appreciate their country and now their value. I'm so glad to see it.
Russia has changed a lot over the last 20 years! Thank you!
Loved this more than I thought I would. Thanks for this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙏
Nice walk about Sam
Thanks!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Sam and thank you for another great video. I think that Milena is perfectly right: Russian writers, musicians, painters, scientists...are well known all over the world. Also its history is importanrt:;the Soviet times, the Russian Empire..Then for its different cultures, amazing landscapes, peoples and so on. A country that could offer more and more.
Totally agree! Milena is already confident on camera and so she’s able to remember things and not just panic like many others!
It's sad to see that Russians feel guilty sometimes when they talk about their country. But I think it's an amazing world player, has a great history and a beautifull Milena
its not feeling guilty Its normal human modesty thats inherent in Russians
It’s interesting to see if what they think Russia is famous for is the say as what people outside of Russia thinks.
As a Russian, I didn't see any guiltiness. We are just not very expressive and more "introverted" inherently
Well maybe my words should have been chosen more carefully. 😉 But like I wrote... Russia is a world power and has a rich history what makes it interesting. And Milena just makes my head spin 😁😁😁😁
@@stefbaldfish2982 no worries, thanks for the comment!
Wow, at 8:20 Melina Russian girl is back!
Nice to see her here.
Sam, your mic is perfect. 👍
Yes! We actually filmed this video in the summer!!!
Sam, I think it is very obvious by your video one thing Russia is famous for; it's beautiful women.
👍👍👍👍❤️🇷🇺
You are a lucky man Sam. Thanks for showing us so much
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Россия известна математической школой, балетом, вооружением, нефтью, газом и атомной энергетикой. И тем, что она 1/8 суши, конечно.
Поэтому спрвшиваю тебя, почему на улице никакой русский гражданин не хотел об этом поговорить?
👍👍👍

@@user-rw9dj3we1u ок, 1/8
That was a perfect day of interviewing, and it wasn't inhibiting by only speaking English to get replies. Nice for a themed language lesson.
The majority of my videos are in Russian. Glad you liked the video.
Sound is incredible with new mic. Big yes
I was switching between the microphones throughout but I can tell that it’s a lot better than without! Thanks for feedback
Hello!👋 is easy!! for the beautifullll Girls 😤😍👱👱👱👱❤👈 all the world knows that 😀and for the culture 😊👍👌
Thank you nice video
So true! Thanks! Glad you liked it.
My Top 10 for what Russia is famous for from the outside looking in:
1. Beautiful culture (undeniable)
2. Beautiful winters (yet challenging)
3. Beautiful landscapes (mountains, plains, swamps, frigid zones, beaches on the Black Sea)
4. Beautiful people (undeniable)
5. Beautiful language (one of the most spoken in the world along with Mandarin, English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali)
6. Top-notch architecture (undeniable)
7. Ancient history (goes back to the 9th century or so along with Eastern Orthodoxy)
8. Huge country (from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, Murmansk to Vladikavkaz, and Novosibirsk to Kamchatka)
9. Excellent food (all Slavic food is great, from Poland to Serbia and Slovenia to Russia)
10. Ballet & Books (Bolshoi to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky)
Only someone filled with hate could deny these things. I have studied about the Soviets and Russia all my life. Politics aside, all I have ever seen is a unbelievably interesting place and culture. I have never been to Russia (it is at the top of the list with a few other places). I have been close to Russia. It was in the plans to get to Russia before Covid hit. Hopefully sooner than later. God willing. Great job, Sam.
Mate, you are confused. Your thinking is ahistorical and anachronistic. Russia exists only from 1721. Please be aware of distinctions between Rus, Muscovy and Russia.
@@MK-lm6hb Duly noted. I understand the difference as best I can. I just didn't take time to go that deep. This could be stated about any ancient culture, though. Modern English, Russian, Chinese, Persian, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Ethiopian, Jewish, Egyptian, Greek, Iraqi, Syrian, Inca, and Mayan, etc. cultures are vastly different from their ancestors, but the cultural traits, complexes, systems, and transmission -- artifacts, sociofacts, mentifacts -- of those ancestors can still be found today in those societies. At least in part. The homogenization of many ancient cultures of the past has been diluted due to global trade that started in the Age of Exploration up to today's high-tech and highly connected world. I would make similar compliments about the UK. If Sam made videos there, too, I would compliment him on them. He is respectful and does a good job showing local culture.
@@creole-qy2om
No, Kievan Rus, Novgorod and Moscow are not "one prolonged culture". Just look at map, at time. These are different states, with completely different political culture in different time. Moscow was even at the beggining more Tartar, Mongolian and Ugrofinnic than Slavic. So Moscow needs now to justify its "tradition" by huge lie that it has "1000 years of tradition from Kiev".
Kievan Rus can't be precedessor of Moscow just because Moscow had occupied it for a few years. It was independent. And later that it stood part of Polish-Lithuanian Union for centuries - more than under Russian occupation.
@@justmynickname All my comments here are meant to be apolitical. I also don't understand a lot of intricate nuances between some cultures, so I keep quiet about it and learn. I understand the big picture often, but that doesn't tell the whole story. My comments were meant to encourage Sam and to share that I think Russian culture has a lot of beauty. To me, all folk cultures have a beauty about them. I grew up in a warmer climate, so cooler climate cultures have always intrigued me. Conversely, pop culture is very different. It's about making money and status only. It's of low value to overall quality of life. It constantly changes, and is meant to be cheaply consumed. I get all of it I can stand on a daily basis. This is why I enjoy learning about folk cultures. Finally, I place politics aside because discussing it on this platform isn't wise. I can't see you and look you in the eyes. You might be a nice person, but all I can do here is anger you. I choose not to do that. Have a nice day.
@@creole-qy2om
Ok. I may be angry, because of too much knowledge about Russian imperium.
Just think why any neighbouring Russia nation don't want to be a part of this "beatiful" culture of wars, concentration camps, huge state propaganda, "we never did anything wrong" and secret police which have centuries of tradition.
Then you will know why people so often get angry when you mention about "beatiful" Russian culture.
By the way which of these very important parts of Russian mentality and culture do you prefer: охра́нка or опричнина?
Hi Sam. the sound is a lot more clear. It is nice to see your having nice sunny weather. Here in Canada we are getting snow.
this is most likely a video from the summer we also have snow already fallen
Thanks for the feedback! I actually filmed this in August!!!!
I like this video 😊
Thanks!
От България с любов!

I would answer that Russia has an amazing 1000 - year history , full of large - scale events on a gigantic territory . Melodrama , drama , intrigue , tragedy , comedy , war , love , destruction , rebirth from the ashes , happiness is in Russian history .
Great answer!!!
You're wrong. Kievan Rus, Novgorod and Moscow Principality are different states and political cultures.
I allow my life to unfold in harmony with the Universe'🎉
Mmmm…. Ok!
@MonkyDollqueen - Spoiler, You have no choice.
Did you know the Universe is beige, constantly expanding, is a weird shape, and that there is more anti-matter than there is matter.?
54% anti-matter to 50% matter. Which astrophysicists cannot explain.
I allow my pyjamas to unfold in harmony with the washing line when i put them out to dry.
Brilliant. Russia is famous for so many things. Brilliant nation and country.
Yes!!! Thanks 🙏
The microphone sounds great. Nice vid
Thanks mate!!!!
Vladimir looks absolutely beautiful in the sunshine Sam and, of course, it is one of the Golden Ring towns/cities steeped in history. I can fully understand why you love living there. Leaving politics aside, I think your interviewees just about covered everything for which Russia is famous. When I think of my time in Russia I always remember it being my first taste of real caviar and how it was commonly served as a garnish in restaurants.🍽👌
Thank you for your comment! Did you try both red and black caviar? I’m a fan of the red one but there are also many types and from many fish!
Yes, I tried both but preferred the black with a unique mild aromatic flavour. In one restaurant, as part of an entrée course where the table was laden with all manner of dishes, there were hard boiled eggs halved and garnished with the black caviar sprinkled on top. It took the humble egg to another level completely. We were entertained very well by our Russian client.
Another great video! Every town or village needs their 'Sam of the town'!
Haha thanks!
@@SamsRussianAdventures my pleasure!
Russia is famous for lots of things. hockey players, writers. artists. and of course vodka lol.
Cheap, low quality vodka maybe. The rest of that stuff doesn't matter.
Hockey!!! That’s one I forgot!!!
Thank 'YOU Sam❣️🤣🤣🤣...
Thanks 🙏
Русская культура литературоцентрична. Нигде так не превозносят поэтов и писателей, как у нас. Русский язык "создан" для литературы и поэзии.
The boy stood on the burning deck - his feet were full of blisters.
The flames came up and burnt his pants, and now he wears his sisters.
Мальчик стоял на горящей палубе - его ноги были в волдырях.
Пламя поднялось и сожгло его штаны, и теперь он носит свои сестры.
Perhaps but Russian literature is nihilistic. Dostoyevsky praises suffering as an essence of life, Tolstoy thinks obsessively about death, Chekhov writes that life is not worth living and Goncharov believes that doing nothing is better than being active in life. Russia has never developed a rational and empirical philosophy because their thought is essentially religious and irrational. Russia is a bizarre amalgame of Byzantium, Golden Horde and Europe with the European element being quite superficial.
@@MK-lm6hb I appreciate your knowledge of the literature but I have to say your narrative style places cultures in hierarchy. Every culture is unique, there is no one way how to live properly. You whether like the culture or nor. If you don't like then don't see Sam's video, there are a lot of other cultures you can learn and that resonates with you.
P.S. Every culture is an amalgame except the first tribe of homo sapiens
@@user-lx3kw9du9u Mate, I actually consider the Russian literature to be the best in the world precisely because of its irrationality.
The West has a vison of man which is rational, empirical and utilitarian. In contrast, Russians' man is irrational, torn by contradictory desires that cannot be reconciled and often having an urge for self-destruction. There is psychological depth in Russian literature which does not exist in any other literature.
Existential angst exists only in Russia. It is present in all Russian literary texts, starting with Gogol's Coat, through Dostoevsky's Notes from the underground, Pushkin's Onegin and Lermontov's Hero of our times.
However, while irrationalism gives depth to your literature, it makes you incapable of forming a modern nation and a functional state.
I love your literature and cinema (Tarkovsky, Sokurov) but I would never live in Russia. It is a cruel autocracy in which human lives matter little to your mad dictators.
Russia is the only country in the world which systematically humiliated, exiled and executed its greatest artists and intellectuals. And millions or ordinary Russians. Life is intense but cheap in Russia.
@@MK-lm6hb it's very interesting and symptomatic that while being an educated western person you are still prone to consider your way of living to be the best and the only one. That's not a good way to get along with other cultures btw, unless you have 800 military bases across the world however and local politicians dependant on money of international conglomerates 😀 In Russia, we call it 'dictatorship of liberal democracies".
I agree that Russia have complex history, many awful thing happened. So what? We need to go further. Come in Russia and you will see it became one of the best countries for a living. I travel all over the world and all countries are more or less the same, and modern Russia is one of the best in my opinion, especially in big cities. I have an opportunity to move to NL to work but I don't want to.
Dictators? Who else beyond Stalin? It's exaggerated. In fact, modern Russia is absolutely free, you can do and say whatever you want, no LGBT propaganda, no "cancel culture". Just normal live with a decent professional opportunities.
'We were the first ones in space!' - I expected to hear more people to say this.
In the country where I live, Russia is known for standing by us in our toughest times, and also for it being a superpower in Chess, as majority of the Grandmasters are from Russia.
Interesting! Never thought of chess!!!!
Sound is good.
Thanks! It was a bit all over the place though to be honest!!!
If i were able to move to another country Russia is on the top of my list and i would not care what other Canadians or anyone would think of me .
I cannot understand the American being worried about what people think. There is the option to do what the American politicians do.
Lie through their front teeth, the back teeth, & all the teeth in between.
**Indentured,.
Hey ya fellow hooser! Me too. Canada is on its last swirl before finally disappearing out of sight. The major bummer about Russia though is the weather...
@@yuyewu4699 в России есть регионы, в которых снега и холода не бывает никогда. Либо есть регионы с очень мягкими зимами.
@@bukvaremLike the West Coast in Canada...Vancouver and Victoria. I think that is why they are the most expensive places to live because every one wants to live there. Are you Russian? If so, do you have any opinion on the weather of the Far East, Vladivostok?
@@yuyewu4699 да, я - русский. На дальней Востоке и во Владивостоке зимы довольно прохладные. Я живу в Сибири, но думаю, что на дальнем Востоке, из-за близости океана, зимы немного влажные и ветреные. Очень мало бывает снега зимой, или его почти никогда не бывает, в таких регионах, как кавказские республики, краснодарский край, ростовская область и Крым. В Калининграде тоже зимы очень мягкие с малым количеством снега.
Hey Sam, have you ever done vlogs in St. Petersburg? I've always been curious to see what the place looks like and how the people there compare to those in Moscow.
I haven’t actually! I’m not really a fan of big cities but I’ll get round to it one day! Sergei Baklyakov is from there. He has a channel.
Great video Sam. Thank you for showing us summer shine again. Keep up the good work of showing us that Russians are just people like us. Brits have learnt not to speak politics to one another....the news just gets worse and worse....so no politics, just summer shine from now on.....ha!!!
Politics is so depressing! People have the illusion of thinking that they can control something. Politician’s do the work of their donators!!! We just complain
Россия известна своей самодостаточностью, ну и своей изюминкой - тройкой. Вы когда нибудь ездили на санях запряжённой тройкой?
Привет! Да ездил!
All good answers.
Yes!!!
Beautiful people who are not liars,their word is bond
I think that people think before they speak! I’d probably say that I hate a country and then realise that I don’t hate anyone but I don’t like certain aspects! By the time I realised they, it would be too late and the interviewer would have gone!!!
Спасибо Сэм ты крут как всегда❤

Hi Sam, the microphone sounds good, but didn't think the others were bad. Have you ever thought about giving out business cards to people with your channel name? Just an idea, people forget things easily. I know I do. Thanks for the video, and have a nice day!
Usually if people ask then I’ll show them the channel but my goal isn’t to get Russian subscribers. I made some business cards but I always forget them.
I've just seen you at Telegram.
Well done, all the eggs mustn't be in the same basket , just in case russophobia get worse.
I have 3 channels now and I’m creating a 4th and 5th soon!
In regards to the US guy worried about others in the US think of him, who cares what the narrow-minded sheeple think. As you know Sam I'm moving to Russia next year and don't care what Aussies think. All my friends are happy for me.
Looking forward to see you joining our country
Yes, he’s way overthinking things!!!! How long until you arrive?
From your videos Russia has many beautiful ladies!
When I think of Russia it's the wonderful old buildings, beautiful countryside and it's food and drink. The people seem very nice as well. I do own a Soviet rifle and it's very well made.
I don't think most Americans would mind that that guy moved to Russia. He could come back with no problem. We don't hate Russia. We dislike some of the politics. Wish the whole world would just learn to get along.
Another good one mate! Keep 'em coming!!! 😸😻❤
Yes! It’s such a shame that he worries about what people would think of him! Thank you!
This vid to me shows how Russians interact with other people. And it's pretty much the same around the world. Thanks for the effort Sam.
Thanks! In the UK I found that almost everyone refused to answer any questions
@@SamsRussianAdventures , really?. British are a bit different then. I was just talking to a Brit a few weeks ago & said "i'd appreciate being called British instead of European because UK is not in Europe." Is this concept real with British people or he was just fooling around?
I would say the sound is way better,that’s 10 seconds into the video.
Yes, I had many mic problems with this video so part was without the mic and then I had wind noise to remove.
You can't understand Russia with your mind, you can't measure it with a common yard: It (she) has a special posture - you can only believe in Russia.
These lines of the poem - one of the characteristics of the Russian state and the mentality of Russians - have become a well-known literary image of the "mysterious Russian soul", which has a romantic character.
According to some bibliographic sources, this poem was written by Fyodor Tyutchev (November 28) on December 10, 1866.
Умом Россию не понять, Аршином общим не измерить: У ней особенная стать - в Россию можно только верить.
Эти строки - одна из характеристик российского государства и менталитета русских - стали известным литературным образом «загадочной русской души», носящим романтический характер.
По некоторым библиографическим источникам, данное стихотворение было написано Фёдором Тютчевым (28 ноября) 10 декабря 1866 года.
Haha it sounds about right!!!!
😊
👍🇷🇺👍
Sam. Don't ask them "Can I ask you a question?". They will always be reluctant to answer. Instead, just ask the question and they will readily respond.
I’ve tried that. Some people become very angry for filming them without asking permission first.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I'm sure that it's because you have a foreign accent. I'm sure that if you were a native Russian they would be far more amenable to open chatting. I also have a feeling that they may think that you will interview them and post negatively on some anti Russian network such as the BBC or CNN.
Russia is famous for you Sam!
Haha Thanks mate!
Interesting that only one person mentioned science, culture, art and literature! I would add Vacuum Tubes (Valves) for guitar amps.
A lot of people don’t want to be interviewed! They just say the first thing that comes into their head to get the interview over with.
вакуумные бомбы тоже можно добавить
I'm shocked nobody said vodka 🤪
Haha one person said vodka and bears! By the way, I have a telegram group for my channel where I share daily life here in Russia and you can ask me any questions. t.me/samsrussianadventures
It's funny how the answers are diffirent when a russian person asks or a foreigner asks this question =)
And the universaly correct answer is on 5:48 .
People don’t trust foreigners because they fully expect a person to twist their answers. I think that people think before they speak! I’d probably say that I hate a country and then realise that I don’t hate anyone but I don’t like certain aspects! By the time I realised they, it would be too late and the interviewer would have gone!!!
Vodka and bears was the right answer. The other answers is what people WANT Russia to be famous for.
I think Putin too and snow.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Snow is in alot of places....Putin i wouldnt say is famous....he is a known leader and i like what he has done for russia but i wouldnt ever call him famous.
Family was in the fur business for about 50 years. I've been out of it for at least the last 70 years but back then Russia was famous for its high quality furs. I don't know about Russia and its furs today?
The majority of furs now are synthetic because of modern mentality!
@@SamsRussianAdventures Yes. I could have taken over the business in 1980 but going over the books it wasn’t worth it.
10:54 I will never understand why America not only hates Russia, but the virulence of that hatred. Modern Russia is not the USSR of the Cold War! Subbed.
Thanks Stuart! Welcome aboard! It’s all about money! The US is run by the corporations who donate money to presidents and then lobby for things which benefit them. The Ukraine conflict for example, is very profitable for American weapons companies. The tax payer money goes to them and many people in congress have shares in those companies. America also sells weapons to all its NATO allies! Then they have taken over the European gas market too. The American elites make the money! It’s a shame
Anyone whose head cannot be put to a gun or bought with money is a dangerous enemy of the United States in this world. It is obvious. The US doesn't care about democracy or human rights, it wants control. Russia is an obvious obstacle to this
I like the answer “We won the world war” because it’s true.
The suffering of the Russian people during that war was unbelievable.
Russia (USSR) beat Hitler, not Britain & America. 😊
I’d say everyone did it together but the Soviets sacrificed the most
Pretty Girls
👍👍👍👍
Do you think they could tell you were British and expected you to have a negative attitude to Russia? In the UK, most of us probably hurry on by because we'd think you were trying to get us to set up a new, big Direct Debit. However we're approached, that's usually how it ends 🤣The first thing I think of is that massive book 'War and Peace' I bought when I was 14 believing I would finish it. I don't know any other country that's produced such a huge novel.
Thanks, interesting about War and Peace! 100% people know in foreign and expect me to twist whatever they will say into a negative answer, because that’s what foreign media does.
4:22 I would dress up in a suit in order to be more approachable with these people. Just wearing a T-shit probably puts them on guard.
That would make me look more like a foreign journalist. I’m a vlogger.
Love your videos 👍❤️🇷🇺💯
Glad you like them! Thanks!
The Hungarian answer. Russia is famous for the winter, snow and cold.
Haha I think that is a universal answer!!!!
Why don`t you get a DJI Mic2 ?
They are only good if you don’t plan your speak with other people. I have them and use them for interviews. But for on the spot questions the mics are no good.
What city is this?
Vladimir and Suzdal
Slightly echoey...compared to your previous stuff. Also it pifks up more ambient background sound. And its very sensitive to wind, manbe it was a very windy day. a wind sock maybe? IMHO Keep to your original eqpt.
Some parts were with the mic and some were without, I hand wind noise to remove too. I’m constantly receiving complaints that without the mic, the sound is bad.
As for the American who was reluctant to travel to Russia, it certainly is a moral quandry whether it is justifiable to contribute to the Russian economy by travelling there and spending money. We are upholding sanctions against Russia for a reason.
It’s full stupidity not to travel because of international political games. By your logic, US should not have even one tourist because this country initiated much more wars / much more killed innocents than any other
Не беспокойтесь - западные страны гораздо больше нам платят за газ и нефть, которые покупают через третьи руки. При этом санкции как будто соблюдаются, для галочки.
moral?! pwahahaaaaa!
@@wrongIQ
No moral. Only business 😂
But at the same time you are not against your own government’s involvement in constant war? They have you fooled. Your tax payer money is going to the weapons companies and their shareholders
Видео с лета?
Агар много чего снимал и пока не загрузил
Сэм, а ты в Суздале был?
Сначала во Владимире а потом в Суздале
My first ideas are not fair and not flattering, but I grew up during the Cold War, so I always think of dictators and vodka. This is unfair because Russians are very sincere and Russia as mentioned in the video has produced an awful lot of thinkers, writers, composers, and.... alcohol signed, a fat American
Haha don’t be hard on yourself!!! I wouldn’t have said composers or writers!!!
Sound is not as good.
It was up and down! With and without the mic! Wind noise! Thanks for your feedback
Ask them you want to be uTube famous and then ask a question! It’s the approach! They don’t know why you’re filming! Maybe you need a channel shirt to wear?
I’ve tried the youtube one! They turn me down even more often!!!!
Это Владимир
👍👍👍
Vodka bears ballet and writing co-ordinates on nzi passports. Oh, and scaring Joseph McCarthy.
total aggressive propaganda of lgbt "values", absolutely strange, ugly, mentally ill society ..absolute degradation and moral decline is what your world outside Russia is famous for
Haha the red scare!!!!
Sam, I suggest you do this test ... try dressing up more, maybe wear a nice shirt with a collar. Ask Melena for help. She will know what looks good on you. Then try approaching people on the street with your questions and see if more are willing to stop and talk to you. I think you'll soon discover that your appearance can really make a big difference when approaching strangers.
It was 30+ degrees. I was wearing shorts and t-shirt. I think Russians are far more likely to trust a blogger than someone who looks like a foreign journalist.
Уважаемый автор, возможно Вам будет интересно субъективное мнение русского жителя, почему многие не захотели общаться на улице с вами. Некоторые видео сняты ночью, в это время к девушке подходит неизвестный большой мужчина, женщина может бояться вас и не хотеть никаких вопросов. Также ваш вопрос не ожидаемый и поэтому люди часто говорят чтото очень простое что Россия большая. Вы могли бы представиться сказать что вы блоггер иностранец снимаете о России, это могло дать больше доверия к вам и тогда думаю люди бы чаще Вам отвечали. Семейная пара много вам рассказала так как им было безопаснее из-за наличия в паре мужчины и они не сильно торопились , видно мужчине понравился ваш вопрос. Успеха в съёмке хороших видео!!
Go Russia!

Did you know Tetris was invented by a Russian desinger?...
Yes! Have you watched the movie?

Maybe it's a good question to ask in the streets, do they realise Tetris was invented by a Russian.

This was from summer. I have lots of content that I film throughout the year. I just edit it when I have time.
what the OPEN peoples )))
Some days they are and some days not!!!!
Russia is famous for so many things, it's impossible to list in a short way.
In my country - Bulgaria - the accent is on the Russian history and culture. Russia liberated us from the then Ottoman empire - for which my people are forever grateful.
It is a shame, that my country is under the direct command of the USA at the moment, "thanks" to our prostitute politicians, who act as colonial governors, not as representatives of a free and proud nation. They make me feel so uncomfortable, because of the evils they do. They betray our country and interests for decades to come, such a shame.
I hope Russian people can understand and not hate us.
Russian are slow to express congeniality
I wouldn’t say so, but perhaps compared to people where you live. In the UK, almost everyone ignored me when I tried to make a video there.
Russia is famous from Gulag, Stalin, World revolution, atomic threat 😢
Oh wow! I’m sorry you feel that way. There was a treaty called Start. It’s the strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. The US refused to renew it when it expired. I think the only reason Russia would use such a weapon is it was invaded by NATO, it’s mutual assured destruction. I hope you can find some things that are positive about Russia. I could say that the US is famous for Guantanamo illegal jails, constant war, racism, police brutality and mass shootings but, I’m not only aware of the negative aspects
@@SamsRussianAdventures I do not know if you know or not but the word гулаг is an acronym for Главное Управление Исправительное-Трудовых Лагерей.
@@michaelmckelvey5122 interesting! I love how Russia has so many acronyms!
Russia is famous for its literature, ballet, folk songs...And USSR was also famous to giving weapons to South East communists to overthrow capitalist or monarchy countries in the 1950-70's.
Interesting how everyone has different opinions as to what Russia is famous for! By the way, I have a telegram group for my channel where I share daily life here in Russia and you can ask me any questions. t.me/samsrussianadventures
What is Russia famous for? It's utter isolation...other than that how would anyone know? It's like asking what North Korea is famous for.
You must have seen more than that on the news?
@@SamsRussianAdventures No, based on street interviews like in '1420 by Daniil Orain'. I am amazed at the naive, biased responses, utter lack of knowledge on how Russians are viewed by people outside of Russia. A lot of it is explained by Russia's low standard of living and inability to travel outside of the Country. Very few older Russians have left their cities much less the Country. The ones that do can only afford to travel to low cost destinations like Egypt, Turkey or the Baltic Countries. Doesn't really give an understanding of how they are viewed in Countries like Canada, the US, France, Australia or New Zealand.
@@lornewazny7152 Americans can’t find their own country on the map! Just because people don’t agree with what you are taught on the news it does not mean that it’s wrong
@@SamsRussianAdventures That's utterly BS...Where did you pick up that gem? From some US late night talk show like Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon taken from street interviews (done in jest)... Americans due to their standard of living, travel almost as much as Europeans even with their more favorable vacation time. I've been to over 15 countries alone from Australia to Mexico. My sister is currently in Northern Italy. In addition the US offers so much variety from tropical Hawaii to our Pacific Rain Forest. Many Americans do not have to leave the Country to experience vistas like the Grand Canyon or the Rocky Mountains. It is not like your tiny island in the UK...
What is Russia famous for? Казоцкий
Это что?
Russia is famous for people's ignorance about their ignorance towards Russia. People are totally ignorant and oblivious about their ignorance about Russia. Russia is a country we love to hate, but subtly realize that we need Russia.
Is Russia populated by attractive women? Is that what Russia should be famous for?
Perhaps! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
If they ignore you say I want to see your papers! Like KGB!
He can't do it. Most of Russians knows their rights, nobody does it easy
Hahaha 🤣
Rude people...like the lady that didn't even respond and just kept walking.
I guess where you live everybody is different. I know that in the UK and the US, the people are much more rude.
@@SamsRussianAdventures How much time have you spent in the US? When, for how long and what part of the Country? I've watched a lot of your videos and am amazed at how rude Russians are. Half utterly ignore you when you ask them an easy question. With most Russians in government 'make work jobs', time can't be an issue....
@@lornewazny7152 I must say that I totally agree with you one hundred percent and have written very much myself on this post and on others where Sam asks people in the street and he gets about one successful 'kill' out of about every ten people he tries to stop and talk to. Some of the older generations can be nice but as you say, on the whole, they are a very strange lot indeed! I always remember talking to an old retired Metropolitan Police sergeant who was a radio operator on the convoys to Russia during the Second World War. This was back in 1979 and I told him that I was about to sit G.C.E. 'A' level Russian but he was not very impressed or stirred. I can still remember his words and reaction to this day: ''We used to go into port to unload our ships and they came on board and gave us a polka dance as a way of saying 'thank you' but there was really very little love between us.'''
@@lornewazny7152 I’ve only been to the US once. My subscribers tell me about their experiences of life in the US
@@SamsRussianAdventures Where in the US.? The US is so large the experience in Chicago or the Midwest is completely different from the New York or the East Coast. People here actually will smile at you when you pass them on the street. And making assumptions from second hand comments from people whose only impression may be a movie on Netflix? Hardly something to take stock in.
Sam, why do you wear a hat with a Soviet star in your channel photo? It is offensive to Russians and non-Russians alike. Would you wear a hat with a swastika/hakenkreutz in Germany? Do you need a lesson how inhuman communism was?
This is a hat that is used for the banya. Russians immediately understand that this is a banya hat and this type of souvenir is on sale all over Russia. The red star is used on Russian military hardware. Many of my friends have the same hat too, it’s nothing like the Swastika. The Soviet Union wasn’t an evil empire! Soviet symbols are not considered evil! But I suppose everything can be considered evil if a person looks for it.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I beg to differ. Millions of Russians and non-Russians were executed and died of hunger and exhaustion in gulags. Their executioners wore the same hats you wear. Wearing such hats today is callous and disrespectful to the victims of communism.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I do not quite understand how you write ''The Soviet Union wasn't an evil empire'' as it certainly was-Lenin himself was a ruthless revolutionary. However, there is the expression 'might is right.' In this light, I suppose had Hitler won the Second World War, today, the nazi swastika would be a banner of pride and military prowess. America claims: 'all men are equal before God' so why do all the original inhabitants of America before the European man came live in isolation on reservations? Enough said?
@@michaelmckelvey5122 if the Soviets hadn’t sacrificed so many, you most likely would be living under Nazi rule right now.
Russia is infamous. Reasons? Autocracy (samodzerhavie), imperialism, colonialism, militarism, shameless lying in politics, harshness and lack of manners in everyday life of ordinary Russians, insularity and hatred towards Europe and the US, a besieged fortress syndrome, submissiveness of Russians towards the authorities, cult of suffering and death, nihilism.
You’ve been watching way too much news. The sad thing is that the news you watch is written to help keep you blinded from the truth. The only way you can see the truth is if you actually do research for yourself. The lies in your media has you turned into a clone.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Mate, I've studied Russian literature and history for decades. I have a suggestion to you, read a poem "The Scythians" by Blok.
Вы словно Великобританию описали😂
@@MK-lm6hb Then try and watch some alternative news in English on youtube.
@@jamesfrench6053 Yes, indeed. I find it despicable that people born and raised in democratic countries go to Russia and praise an autocratic and repressive regime. I wonder what their motivation is.
Famous for cruel governance and a fearful populace many of whom dare not even comment on the record to an Englishman.
I tried to ask questions in the UK and everyone was rude and the only people who would answer were foreigners!
Oh dear, I wonder if there is a common denominator in your qualitative sociological research? 😬 @@SamsRussianAdventures
@@handsomenumber1393😂 it's not difficult for you to make stupid comments about other country.
@@handsomenumber1393 it’s for the viewers!
@handsomenumber - Pfft.
Come on over to Glasgow and walk around with a camcorder asking locals questions. I’ll wait for the results.
You could stick with the half-Gigabyte memory card, but you might go hog wild & break out the 1 Gigabyte memory card.
[Going by your thumbnail, you may have already done so, and interrupted a delightful young local female heading out there with bottle of breakfast, i mean Buckfast in her right hand.]
the most hated country right now
It’s crazy because that should be the country who is always at war but one country’s forever war is always marketed differently.
@donfluso - ikr, they should be mindlessly handing out billions of dollars to nazi idiots waving stupid IKEA flags.
Raises a country’s profile no end.
Any sexy ‘weapons inspectors’ over yonder around your parts recently don.?
Я думала самая ненавистная Израиль right now🤢
@donfluso9042
No most love Russia the great motherland u hating Russia is just a minority Just because media make it look like all are hating Russia and politicians, don´t make it true perhaps you should ask people and see what they really thinks for yourself
shhhhh you mere nobody lol some lousy mongrel rom nowhere
To get the best results it is better to ask that there than outside.
Where?
