- Many people are considering moving to Russia right now and all the youtube channels show life in Russia as very easy, but is this the truth? Is it very easy to live in Russia as a foreigner?

Чем человек умнее , тем он правдивее на Ютубе и тем меньше ему платят .
Закон жизни .
rubbish. remembering the follies of youth. I understand that this is stupidity. why forget for always. on the other hand, childhood friends are just childhood friends, they are friends in memory. You just have nothing to compare it with. We all move away from each other after school and in-school. everyone has different interests and plans. it turns out that this friendship is just common interests and common hobbies. this does not contradict friendship, but friendship will be new when new people with common interests appear. After moving to Russia, do not be upset that there are no mutual friends, Russians and Russians also disappear. And in general, you will find people like you who have also moved, with a common history. but then you will understand the common story is not important, the main thing is that the values are common. usually something similar is found among people in the same specialty. It is much more correct to be friends when there is a common cause, a common work, a common goal. You will be able to give yourself completely and immerse yourself in the team. but if you're looking for like-minded people with a common history, then everyone has their own separate story. and its own separate interpretation of the story. Infrastructure is what friends are.
Your actual revealing of the problems is something you made us wait ages to hear.. 😕
What a freaking nightmare!
Moving to any country , no matter what is difficult for new comers, culture, language, etc, only ppl making an honest effort will succeed
Well said! There are no short cuts
Even moving 100 km away can be difficult. From City to country side. Damn it has been very hard for me.. (Denmark)
Absolutely.
Dear Sam: Frequent viewer but first time commentator: Greetings from the West Coast USA. This topic is not only appropriate for Russia but anywhere in the World. This video is 10 /10 stars. You are absolutely correct nobody thinks about this part of moving to a country - the acclimation into a new society... This is the 1st thing you should consider before moving - How do I fit in and how can I make it. GOOD ON YOU SAM- YOU ARE VERY KEEN...
Please make a Part B. You deseve a Nobel Peace Prize for this...
Exactement!
General advice to anyone moving to another place (not to mention moving to another country): talk to people around you, ask questions about anything, don't think you are knowledgeable, experienced and smart - and you will surprised how much troubles and money you will save as a result.
My advice is to communicate and socialize as much as possible , ask questions and be friendly In time it becomes easier to adapt
100%
Hi Sam nice to see you! We been listen to travelling with Russel on RUclips. For last couple of years. The Museum the Trains. Wow. Very special. We have Russian in our family very nice Peroshke fried 😀 and as a young lady I had a very extremely nice birthday 🎂 omg so fancy layers of cream cheese cake 🙈 unbelievable wow. You know it's lovely to be so good to cook like that I'm so lucky to had have all this given to me. Woo! Hope to make it there. Nice experience. 🇦🇺🇱🇧✨From 🇦🇺 God bless. 💐
Thanks for telling it as it is. I am an Australian living in Russia, I have a Russian ex and I am very close to her family and have a network to help me. Now I am studying full time at university to earn a Russian degree so that I can obtain permanent residence here.
It is true about most landlords not wanting to register; but I got around the problem by signing long term lease agreements; which must be registered anyway, so I had no problems.
It can get lonely if you do not speak Russian or do not try to assimilate; I try hard to learn Russian and to live a Russian life, so that I adapt to their culture; now I am Russian in culture. It helps that I am at university and I get to meet people constantly.
I agree with you about the women here. After being here for a few years, the novelty of the pretty faces wear off; but in my case, the familiarity helps me date with more confidence. I am now more culturally Russian anyway.
Cheers mate. Keep it up. Не сломай!
Всё верно. Знание русского языка открывает путь к менталитету и характеру человека, а так же культуре. Английский язык прост и однообразен, поэтому есть много вещей, которые не доступны для понимания. Друзья в России имеют большое значение, ибо это те люди, на которых ты можешь рассчитывать и которые тебе помогут.
Русский человек никому не навязывает своих правил, но и не любит, когда ему навязывают свои правила (у нас своя демократия, свобода, культура, а Запад пытается нам навязать то, что любят они - это не правильно. Мы свободолюбивые люди)
How does earning a Russian degree help you to obtain permanent residency?
as a Russian (Moscow) landlord I can assure you (et al.) that Western tenants are probably the most welcomed category we just may dream of
Thank you for sharing your story and it’s interesting that we have similar observations about life here.
How old are you? What are you studying
I'm thinking on moving to Russia o Poland but I'm almost finishing my major in economics here in Mexico so I thought it will requiere a lot of time and money that I don't know if it's worth to spend all of my twenties studying. Btw I'm 23 years old.
Any Advice?
Правильно и верно. Нельзя очаровываться, чтобы не было разочарования. Чем больше правды и осознанности, тем проще.
Спасибо 🙏 хочу что люди знают что им ожидает
As he often does, Sam is spitting pure truth here. Nice job pointing out the ambiguous things/tasks that are often overlooked. I still have PTSD from my constant visits to the migration office. :)
Haha I have seen fights there between staff and immigrants!!! Thankfully now they have the talon system, prior to that it was literally Chaos for many years. They used to put a list on the door of names, then someone would throw away the list!!! And make a new one!!! Chaos!!!
Having a cat in Russia.....
Is the must ❤️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺❤️🐱❤️🐱
100%
Russian cat is an antidepressant..
finally someone talks common sense. others are afraid to talk about problems! you rule!!!
I want people to be aware of what they may encounter. I suppose it is difficult everywhere initially.
Finally. Sam as always dares to speak out! Respect for that!❤
What did he speak out about? Cats, dating? He made it sound like this was going to discuss serious issues.
Üdvözlöm Andrea! Meglepetés, hogy magyarral futok össze itt, ezen a csatornán. Erre mondjuk, hogy magyarok mindenütt vannak, igaz? 🙂

Мы наглядно видим проблемы у семьи из Австралии, живущих на Алтае. Они не дружат с соседями, не работает никто в той или иной организации, а потому они не понимают и не знают законы, правила и тд. Они как будто на острове. Чем быстрее их сын и дочь найдут друзей , тем быстрее они адаптируются в России. Пусть прочтут эти слова Сабрина и ее брат. ❤
И много так же хотят приезжать в России и так же жить. Из-за этого я переживаю и снимал сюжет
Социопаты. И сектанты
@@SamsRussianAdventures ''...хотят приезжать в Россию ...''
Ошибка австралийцев на Алтае в том, что они не изучали законы в России. купили землю сельхозназначения, начали строить на ней дом, не являясь крестьяно-фермерским хозяйством, что является нарушением закона. А семья Финстра в Нижнем Новгороде все шаги делали с адвокатом, и результат: построили дом, скоро им свет проведут, построят ферму и будут жить, работать.
В одном видео Джастас Уолкер отлично сказал: «у нас в России нет американских проблем, у нас есть российские проблемы»
С чего вы взяли , что они ни с кем не общаются ? В свое время они вскользь сказали , что помогали каким-то своим друзьям со строительством . А Сабрина преподает он-лайн разговорный английский для русских . То , что они немного скрытны и не обо всем говорят - это явно , но это их личное дело , что озвучивать - что нет . А насчет земли - странно , что им об этом никто не сказал раньше (хотя бы подписчики) , либо они не читают толком комментарии .
Tack!Honesty always pays off Sam. You are the best!❤
Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate your support.
Nah, lies pay more. Look at the popular youtubers, compare to Sam, make inference.
@@petunized Thats why i dont support them. I understand what you are saying but at the end the truth will win.
I have been several times to Ruusia, have a Russian wife and family there and feel like I am home when I am there and will be moving asap.
Yes! You have the vital support network which will make it much less stressful.
This is indeed a very important video.
I'm glad that you have addressed these issues, Sam, because they very important.
I've commented several times on your videos but I feel I need to make my comments here.
I've mentioned before I'm in Krasnagorsk, Moscow, and my wife is Russian. We have two grown-up sons, one of whom is in his final year at University here in Moscow.
Both myself and my wife watch your videos.
I've often said that in my opinion, you have a great love for all things Russian, in ways I've come to see you as though Russia was your destiny, a true Anglo-Russian man.
Because my wifes mother was taken sick and then her father suffered a heart attack, we relocated to Russia.
Now I love all things Russian, but even for me, there is no way I could have made the move here without the help of my wife. Like you l had to register with the Municipality, take a spoken test have medical tests including HIV test ( and married regardless ) dealing with translations of paperwork and passport, the immigration centre at Podolsk on 3 separate occasions.
Very stressful for me and my wife.
I remember watching your video regarding the farmers who had come from America and expecting just to move here, and I was bewildered because I knew what it involved .
I think it's fantastic that President Putin has offered people from the West the chance of a life here but at the same time I have to agree with you and say don't come here if you are trying to escape issues in your country of origin.
I've read many comments on sites where people are disillusioned and are saying " Russia here I come " because I don't think it's the right way.
But I do think it's wonderful for people who truly want to embrace Russia, it's people and culture.
Thanks for sharing your story again. Many foreigners don’t like to give credit to their wives because perhaps they feel less manly or something. I really appreciate your insights and opinion. Thank you 🙏
@SamsRussianAdventures you're very welcome Sam. We watched your videos whilst in England and when we would visit family here in both Moscow and Lipetsk. For me your videos have been invaluable to me to see an Englishman make his life in Russia. Truly inspirational. Thank you Sam.
Problems are part of living no matter what country you have moved to or live in
Sure but I can only prepare people for what it’s like in Russia
True and point taken🤝
At one time I was subscribed to the channel of the Spanish Nuria. She described her impressions of life in Russia (during her studies) in several stages (I will describe approximately, since I watched it a long time ago):
1. after arrival everything is in rosy colors; 😍
2. problems begin to emerge that you did not suspect before (+ this is not knowing the language, the difference in mentality, in food); 🤔
3. terrible depression begins, you want to give up everything and go to your homeland; 😖
4. everything gradually returns to normal, problems turn out to be solvable; 😏
5. you calm down, master the language, find the right job, start to live slowly, like all Russians and you start to like Life again..😁
According to her, this happens to most people who move to any country, not just Russia.
Thanks for sharing. I received a lot of hate for daring to suggest that moving to Russia is not plane sailing, thanks 🙏
Согласна с Вами. То, что рассказал автор канала, характерно для всех стран. Об этом говорят русскоязычные люди, переехавший в другие страны. Нурию тоже смотрю, она опять стала выкладывать новые видео
@@КатеринаВ-я1х обидка на русских у нее похоже прошла .. Она перестала выставлять видео с началом СВО .
@@amare_naturam У Нурии отец работал в полиции и она была популярна на российском ютубе и ТВ каналы ее ролики показывали. С началом СВО, я думаю, ей или папе объяснили люди из компетентных органов, что такое хорошо и что такое плохо для демократии. А сейчас папа на пенсии и снова разрешили любить Россию.
Hey! Wow I very agree with this comment! I feel the same!
Putin is my President! I have always been a Russian enthusiast. I love it. I would absolutely need a friend who speaks Russian and can guide me along the way. You have seen so much in 20 years, Sam!
Brilliant! That’s the attitude to have!
I also appreciate President Putin, I think he is one of the few very very good leaders in times, where there is a serious deficiency in leadership worldwide.
With that said, you have to realize, that if you move to live in Russia you won't live with Putin, you will be with yourself and with the people and the culture and the reality around you. So you better prepare in advance (watching Sam's videos is a great place to start!), if you are about to make the move.
Cheers.
Great Info, Sam! Not a gloomy video at all; just the reality of what moving & living in a new country will take.
Russians have been very hateful in the comments. Thanks 🙏
@@SamsRussianAdventures Thick Skin, Sam! Keep up the great content, Bub! 💪👍
@@SamsRussianAdventures I don't see anything hateful.
Social network is very important in any country. We do it naturally since our childhood and not always realise how difficult it is to build a network in a foreign country, especially if you are not teenager and have a language barrier. So, it is important to get yourself prepared and learn a few things in advance :1) Language 2) Culture ( do’s and dont’s) 3) Immigration law and paperwork. And it is important to get to know someone in Russia ( via internet or someone you know), so that if something bad or unexpected happened, you know whom you can ask for a help.
I think many people won’t know much before arriving. It’s my fear, but I could be wrong.
Some people are too naive, some people are over-confident, that can be reasons why many people might not do proper research and when they face issues, it becomes a huge shock for them.
I think that what you said is relevant when moving to any country in the world, everywhere you need to know the language, everywhere you need socialisation, otherwise you will be lonely, everywhere there are rules, traditions, orders, everywhere you can face misunderstanding. There is no place in the world where every foreigner can come and live his or her best life, everywhere you have to be patient, try and make efforts. But you are right that the one who is not ready for it is better to stay where he is. Moving to another country is always stress, overcoming, difficulties of adaptation. A Russian husband/wife or Russian friends, knowledge of the Russian language, and if you come on a work invitation - this is something that can make adaptation in a new place much easier
I suggest everyone to come here for work but most people have told me that they plan to move to a Russian village and I worry for them.
Everything you say Sam, is sound advice...
I encountered much of what you've described, when I moved to Bulgaria. I did exactly what you said - met a lady and got married, albeit, unintentionally. My wife has been a Godsend, when it comes to overcoming the bureaucracy here.
Initially though, I was able to hire a guy on an hourly basis, who knew how to accomplish what I needed and spoke the language.
I now feel a real part of our community (in an area of Varna). I'm retired, but we still have lots to do!
Wow! My dad travelled to Varna in 1995 and took clothes to an orphanage there. Thanks for sharing.
Not as easy for women. Glad you found a good partner
I agree that pointing out difficulties which immigrants may face in Russia is not criticism of Russia itself. Although, of course, no country is 100% perfect.
I have to say that the one thing I missed most when living in Russia was the British sense of humour. It really is unique!
Haha we are sarcastic!!!
@@SamsRussianAdventures Banter between friends may seem unbelievably rude to most non-Brits. Yet calling each other names and putting one's friends down can often indicate deep (albeit unspoken) affection.
A pulling-of-the-leg, such as calling a workmate 'a fat bar-steward' would probably not go down so well in Russia. Likewise, puns and innuendos may seem crass. The English language seems to lend itself to word play and double entendre.
Indeed, British humour may sometimes be sarcastic, but it can often be ironic or understated too.
British humour is a multifaceted phenomenon.
Russians sometimes don't understand English humor at all. For them, it's sometimes just not funny.
@@amare_naturam I think Sam is right about comedy being largely cultural, such as understanding references to films and Russian life in general. It's the same with a lot of English humour.
What a beautiful place you live in. The foliage is gorgeous.
Thank you. I love it too.
Awesome. Thank you for your openness and honesty Sam.
My pleasure! Thank you 🤩
This is how I always explain to friends about the US. Non biased realistic way, not even based in my personal experience, which has been all over the place. They don't believe me, they rather stick with what movies show them.
It’s frustrating and I think that some people are in for a shock. Many people have said that this video is negative and that I’m wrong to make it. They don’t want reality.
@@SamsRussianAdventures exactly. I am married, otherwise I would be looking for a Russian girlfriend and move there, considering what is coming to the US.
What you've explained about a girlfriend, I knew better, and hell for sure it helps when you don't know the language or how the country works. Girlfriend should be priority number one, except if you have tons of money for housing and else, so you can take your time to adapt and learn the language.
Мне кажется, рубящего правду Сэма смотреть интереснее, чем улыбающегося, пытающегося понравиться, и be nice Сэма. Так держать!
Я всегда показываю как и есть
Moving to Russia means hard working no free honey and milk ! Sam is right, he has experienced himself the scams and traps. God bless your hard work dear Sam in Vladimir.😊🐈The school period is a joyful childhood indeed.😁
I feel life is hard enough so I prefer if I get help and not additional issues on top. Hard work is necessary but I don’t enjoy so I try to keep that part to a minimum
We have a daughter that has little time for us, we live in a different state, so may be every couple years .we have no friends here, so we just have each other. so loneliness is not an issue.
In a different country you’ll feel more isolated because wherever you go you won’t understand people.
Сэм нарисовал не очень веселую картину, но блин, это так и есть по факту
Здесь хорошо! Люблю жить в России но здесь и есть сложности тоже
If you treat a woman as a free translator, your babysitter, someone who makes your life comfortable, you will never have a good relationship with her .
За одним исключением. Если женщина любит и понимает что это она будет делать долго. Но у значительной части жен есть серьезная проблема. Они не любят своих мужей.
@@АндрейЛарин-в6н знаете, ни одна женщинпа не будет любить мужчину, который просто ее использует. Как и наоборот.
@@molly35ru любовь это острое желание счастья другому человеку. Это глубокое внутреннее чувство, которое любящий внешне выражает своим особым заботливым отношением к любимому или к любимой. Брак это ведь не про любовь, брак это про расчет и про некоторую уверенность в том что расчёт оправдается. Если в расчет входит оказание поддержки то женщина наоборот довольна что мужчина привязан к ней её поддержкой ему.
Foreigners who marry a woman quickly will do this without thinking. You’ll find that the majority of western men who have married Russian women will agree with this statement
Да уж. Но может это у них так любовь проявляется? Как у самки богомола?
Thanks for your honesty. I think it is very irresponsible from a family, that has been in Russia only for a few month and speaks zero Russian to encourage other families to come with all their saving by claiming that Russia is the best place with best opportunities where everyone is friendly and helpfull.
👍👍👍
Конечно, каждому, кто хочет приехать в другую страну и жить там как граданин этой страны, необходимо тщательно изучить законы и обычаи, а так де возможности для бизнеса или поиска работы по найму.
Начальные знания языка так же необходимы.
Но чтобы изучить, должна быть выделена информация. А вот её ни кто не выкладывает.
Где-то когда то слышал. Прожив день, мглы написать целую книгу о стране, прожив месяц тетрадку, продив годв напишу только лист.
Almost every single channel does this and those who promote it the most are those who have a crazy amount of support here
In a country which is new to you legal issues are always bad because you don’t know how to respond the proper and effective way. It is also easy to get misinformed either intentionally by scammers or because you buy into rumors.
It can be very difficult in Russia initially
Escaping 'something is a very valid thing these days , I dont think thats needed thrown at us as a negative thing , freedoms and speech is being removed and its becoming dangerous in my home country
I've been talking with the cops at my work for quite some time and telling them that I've wanted out of this country for quite some time, but where would one go from America? Recently, after President Putin said that you could apply for spiritual asylum, Russia looks to be that place.
@@murphybrown666 Remember the saying: "If you don't change anything in your life, it means you are happy with it." Russians also say that water does not flow under a stone that lies...
Сэм, такие же проблемы обозначают русские эмигранты в США.
Да, кроме бюрократии, с которой всё-таки сложнее в России. Даже российские граждане испытывают изрядный геморрой с документами. Например, полученный в юности паспорт нужно обязательно заменять в 25 и в 45 лет, а затем уведомлять все организации о смене паспорта: работодателя, каждый банк где у вас открыт счёт и всех, кто хранит ваши паспортные данные. Иначе, например, банки блокируют счета и блокируют доступ к деньгам. При этом сама процедура замены паспорта тоже нетривиальна: пойди туда, не знаю куда, - сделай то, не знаю что. К примеру, портал Госуслуг отправил меня в отделение полиции (а нужно было в миграционную службу с торца того же отделения полиции), а затем мне надо было бродить среди неподписанных кабинетов миграционки и выяснять в какой из них мне нужно зайти к назначенному Госуслугами времени. Всё это муторно даже для гражданина, прекрасно владеющего языком и привыкшего к бюрократии.
@@ОнуфрийНечепуренко сочувствую Вашему несчастью
Ощущение что мы граждане разной России. Госуслуги предлагают выбрать отделение где Вы получите паспорт, а не навязывают что-то определенное. Если это не первый паспорт, то вмсем известно, что занимается ими миграционная служба. На первом этаже есть перечень кабинетов и вопросов, которыми они занимаются. А банк можно уведомить через приложение банка и Госуслуги. Ну и спросить кого-то из знакомых или даже людей в коридоре миграционки не сложно. Это то, что касается русскоговорящих и граждан. @@ОнуфрийНечепуренко
@@molly35ru В России почти для всего нужно разрешение и механизм выдачи этих разрешений таков, что каждый поход за справкой - это неформальный квест, когда надо найти кого-то и где-то в строго определённое время нужного дня, отстояв очередь. Например, на днях я узнавал что нужно для посещения местного городского стрельбища. Оказалось, нужны справки от психиатра и от нарколога, которые должны быть получены строго в специализированных городских больницах этого профиля. У этих справок ограниченный срок действия и получение каждой из них - геморрой. Либо нужно оформлять разрешение на оружие, что является ещё более геморройной процедурой. И это просто чтобы приехать на стрельбище и пострелять в мишени из арендованного там же оружия под присмотром инструктора.
Чего-то, я очень сомневаюсь что вы из Россиян!) Тем более в Госуслугах вообще нет проблем с любыми документами))
I love your channel. This is amazing because you tell about us all of the little details that are often overlooked by foreigners living abroad. Everybody jus talks about supermarket prices, education and the pretty places as well as transport but no one tells you about how is actually to build a life abroad, specially in Russia.
Excellent video, it would be interesting if you made a video about the economic reality people face when they decide to settle in Russia. Talk about the costs a family needs to pay to maintain themselves adequately each month. As you mentioned, other channels don't convey the reality of what people experience. Greetings from Colombia.
Thanks 🙏
I’ll have a think because for everyone the costs are different, depending on lifestyle.
You set a difficult task for Sam, because everyone's needs are different, families are different (big and small), but one thing is common for all citizens of Russia: 1. Medicine is free, calling an ambulance is free 2. School is free 3. Universities are both free and paid 4. Taxes are low 5. Utility bills are low compared to Western countries 6. Security is high. 7. There are no drug addicts or homeless people on the streets. If we talk about salaries, then, say, if a person lives alone, 60,000 roubles will be enough to live without needing anything, eating well, dressing well and paying all their monthly payments on time. The level of salaries varies from region to region. If we are talking about Moscow, 60,000 is a salary between low and average
Sam, I am the same as you. I talked my mom into buying me that Soviet watch they were selling back in the early 90's. I still have it. I have had Russia in my mind and heart since I was a young boy. My mom told me I would always say HET to her when she would ask me something ... lol. Still planning on immigrating there as soon as it is possible for me. Cheers!
😂 ❤👍
You sound like you would definitely succeed here!
@@SamsRussianAdventures Good to know. If this last job here doesn't work out, I will be on a plane.
I am also obsessed with Russia From my childhood I have also One black & white TV in my room in my childhood, also have one Air conditioner Buy From Peshawar, with my Grandmother, City Capital City of KPK Province Of Pakistan
Perfect bro!!! We are similar!
Oh, there's always problem and complex hoops to jump through when you move to another country regardless of which country you're going to.
I can only say from the standpoint of being an immigrant in Russia
Hi Ksusha! 😻 Looking good, glad to see you. Almost forgot, hi Sam. 😹
Haha she’s still here!
Sam is right, but the most difficult things in Russia for a foreigner is the language and bureaucracy. If you can deal with these two, the rest should be much easier.
I had the banking issue with them saying my passport was expired. I just showed them my army contract. It was sorted there and then at the desk.
I had the loneliness thing as well, I had to call a fellow brit ex pat just to crack the "ronnie pickering" joke.
As for Russian women, Ive given up and staying single.
Nice video, Sam, although, you could say it is not just about Russia, but about any foreign country one could decide to resetle... It is not just about that that administration and regulatons are differant, but also as foreigner, no matter what visa type you have, usually you have restrictions in comparison with domicile people. For instance, domicile person can enter bank, show ID and open account, get loan, etc. Foreigner usually needs several additional papers to do the same account oppening, loan can forgeth for years, and same additional conditions for buying properties, appling for scholl and job...
One who resetlles must be prepared on that and to be prepared it could take years with temporary (and restricted) status untill you come to permanent residency and more-less same status as domicile people in the eyes of administration (although the real equality comes only when you finally get citizenship). So it is hard even for one person alone, and it becames multiplicative harder if it is a whole familly...
And that is not just for Russia, for example, comparing to UK immigration laws and procedures (if you want to do it legally and not to be illegal emigrant), that could stretch on 10 years and more, Russian immigration procedure is quite simple, easy and very short...
So, resetling to aother country is not the same as resettlement inside one country. It is easy to get job in Bristol and transfere whole your life from London over the weakend, because everyting is the same, but moving to any other country is SEVERAL YEARS process, so people should be first very sure they want it, and then to prepare in advance for as much as they can on their journey to Russian (or any other country) journey...
I’ve only lived as a foreigner in Russia and so I can only give my opinion on Russia. The amount of documentation required here in Russia is way more than in the UK, I’m just trying to prepare people for this. I’m sure it’s difficult in other countries too.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Вы только что написали что как иностранец в Британии вы не жили.
Наконец-то, адекватный комментарий! 👍
@@SamsRussianAdventures Yea, but you are not aware that it is mainly because you are a foreigner, regular born Russian don't have to gather and bother with so much documents and paperwork for everything. Yea, they also must to bother with some paperwork in their everyday life, but for foreigner with status of immigrant it is always paperwork x 5 for the same thing, and that is how it is in almost any country. Did you ever bother to check migration regulatives of UK, USA or Cannada. They are living nightmares. One of the reasons why that countries have tones of illegal emmigrants is because it is much easier (and much cheaper) to be illegal than legal there... With 10 years minimum living under variouse restriction before you get more-less same rights as domicile residents.
My friend had applied in UK for temporary residence, it was 5 year minimum at that time before you could apply further for permanent residency, and during that time you are banned from leaving UK borders. He got refused after first aplication so he had to extend it 5 more years of temporary residence. He practically lived 10 years in sort of house arrest, with ban for travelling, driving, owning home or estate... not to mention if he had just one minor law breaking he could lose his residency status and be deported instantly... He finnaly got his citizenship after 15 years of process... And trust me, he also had t odrug arround tones of documents.
P. S. I am aware that something, like opening business in Russia, demand far more paperwork and time than in western countries, but I am also very alergic on western non-paper "efficiency", where you can open company on the internet, without any proving or checking by anyone are you capable to do what you claim you are doing and without any guaranties that you have to present in case you brake a law or hurt third party with your activity...
Correct.
Moving countries as expat the company will take care of paperwork, registration, taxes, health insurance, guarantee rental contracts, pay for real estate agent, ....
As a private citizen, one needs to take care of that, and without some immigration agency/ lawyer, things get complex soon and some may even be reasons that can wipe visa. And that support costs a pretty penny.
As for loneliness, it can get pretty bad in Moscow, a 20 million city(considering suburbs), nobody is waiting for a foreigner
I’m Russian, and I still feel lonely when my wife is not around 😂. So, it is not the feeling which only specific to immigrants 😂.
@@igory3789 as a Russian speaking Italian I wanted to be left alone by the ladies in Moscow, way too much interest ... Lol
I once went with a vegetable market with a friend near Peredelkino outside Moscow. When I told a lady I was Italian, she screamed to all other ladies to come and see an Italian. About 50 came.
Lol

Sage advice Sam. It's natural for us to idealize things from afar, I've been guilty of it so many times daydreaming about a country and then when I arrived it could never live up to those unrealistic expectations. It would take a perspective shift to embrace the adventure that the imperfections of each place presents.
Thanks for sharing!! I think it’s important to share everything because people see all the videos made by foreigners and just see everything as perfect and a simple life without problems
@@SamsRussianAdventures it's appreciated👍
Very informative Video, Sam, thank you. When ever you move to a new country, you will encounter some problems. I moved from Germany to America many, many years ago and also had problems, even though, they may not be the same as moving to Russia. The good thing - after a while these problems hopefully go away.
It’s never easy moving to another country, I moved to China and now a full time resident. If you want to do something, just do it no matter how difficult it is! And yes, of course you will always be a guest in a foreign country, that’s a given if you weren’t born there. They won’t roll out the welcome mat just for you. I wish more immigrants would understand that basic concept. Immigrating to another country is not a right but a privilege, and I am grateful for that privilege everyday! Be respectful, follow the customs, values and traditions, in other words integrate
Its like listening a German speaking about the everyday life problems in Germany in 1940, without ever mentioning war or Hitler.
Wow! They’ve brainwashed you so much that you are commenting stupid things on social media. Don’t be a sheep, use your own brain.
@@SamsRussianAdventures красиво ответил ! :)
Thanks Sam for your sage advice
Any time
I have a Russian wife, we have an own appartment and our Family house is almost finished.
So you have a support structure which makes a huge difference. 👍
Best video you've made. I've been to Moscow a couple of times as a tourist and I did feel the cultural loneliness.
Thanks, it’s interesting that other people feel it too!
Sam is intelligent man and you shared what you exactly experienced in all these years i hope i will get my visa invitation soon, goodwishes for your next videos )
Thank you! I want people to be prepared
SMASHED IT!! Well done mate. My channel fits your description but I agree with what you’ve said. It’s not personal, it’s brutally honest, and I love that!
Great video Sam..😎
Коты все в сборе? Никто не потерялся?
Sam happen to agree 100 percent with you, my wife borne in Moscow married 35 years and we were here in the 90’s came back 5 years ago
Thanks for sharing this

This is good information. It can be hard just moving from one place to another in the same country. Things aren't exactly the same and you have to find your way to become familiar with the place, the people and the atmosphere.
Russia is a stickler for documents!!!!
@@SamsRussianAdventures I can tell you that is not the only country. We went to Australia on workvisa and boy do they like their documents. Just signing for the lease on a house took 1 hour 🙃.
Dude, the only problem with Russia that you mentioned is bureaucracy. The rest of the problems concern immigration to any country.
I agree, I’m just telling people what to expect
Regarding rentals, that's why people are purchasing a home. And if you working anywhere you hook on to a different language you actually learn faster that way. I remember I was visiting the old country and only after four days you just click on to different words because your there that is why . Just another way to communicate you say. It's good to know especially nice your brain loves it. My uncle knows many languages as a child he was from Holland and lived in war times moved many times very hard times no food as was hard to find work anywhere. So enjoy life and its humble people around you. Remember we all under Gods hevean no one ownes we all here on lease so have a beautiful time no matter were your are Thanks ✌️❣️ truth 🙏
The majority of people that I have spoken to want to buy a house in a village but none of these people have ever visited Russia. I think it’s a bit crazy to purchase a house in a country that they have not even visited. They don’t plan to work here and so they won’t have any support. I worry for people.
I have moved a lot in my life and adapt to new locales quickly.
You are already half Russian practically 👍
Правильное видео и полезное. А то было противно смотреть все эти годы бесчисленные розовые и сопливые ролики о Западе всяких Птушкиных и прочих Одуванов. Потом люди насмотревшись реально ехали и ахеривали что там жизнь не сказочка с единорогами, а жёсткая и суровая. Здешнюю жизнь тоже слишком приукрашать не надо.
Просто надо показать правду! Спасибо 🙏
I was always amused by some Westerners demonstrating a surprising black-white mentality. Some of them even describe Russia as absolutely perfect. I mean, come on, be realistic. Nothing is perfect in this world. Expecting perfection is a straightforward way to dissatisfaction and failure. Prepare yourself for the real picture.
I received quite a bit of hate for this video but more from Russians who took the video offensively somehow 🤷🏻♂️
No, Russia is not perfect. It has the highest suicide rate in the world other than Soweto. Average male life expectancy is 64 years due to alcoholism drug addiction and AIDS. 25% of Russian homes don’t have running water or indoor toilets. the country is run by a brutal tyrant, who is waging war in his peaceful neighbors but that’s nothing new. No Russia is not perfect.

10:10 The building is extremely interesting.
It must be at least 7 floors, Sam i cant get over it. - you could do an entire video on it.
Beautiful day there, stunning flawless blue sky.
It's always an adventure, I have been living in Spain since 1982 but we went back and
I missed Spain, we came back, when my hubby died I went back but didn't adapt I came back to Spain. visited my family in Argentine several times, but I feel better here.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! You are amazing! 😻
Sam ,you give us the straight scoop. I truly apricate you.
Thanks, I’m just trying to be honest
Well said Sam! Much appreciated and salutation from Romania!
Just be realistic and honest and that is it no matter where you are.
👍👍👍
Сэм, ты красивый мужик. Найди себе русскую православную женщину. Не общайся с либералками во всяких богемных местах. Заведи знакомство с верующими людьми. И ты откроешь настоящую Россию, а не этот постсоаетский суррогат.
Спасибо 🙏 я в поиске!
I needed to see this video. I still love Russia. I Pray for Russia. Maybe someday I'll move here in my old age of course, but you never really know.
I hope you come here and love it like I do Stuart.
Great video, Sam, and it's very necessary. I live in England, dating a Russian woman from Bashkortostan. She is open to living in England with me, but expectation that we would visit Russia periodically. It's good to know life there is not utopia as some You Tube channels suggest 😊
The thing is, one really needs to know the language if you're going there without a pre-existing network of friends and family....

Самое главное не опускать рук, не унывать, а в терпении потихоньку двигаться вперёд....

One of the best videos for along time thank you Sam
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a bit of a sad topic today!
Wise words Sam.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you Sam for all this information. It is always a great pleasure to watch your videos, even though I am not interesting in moving to Russia, maybe in a future time like a tourist! I love the place where you live. It is very nice!! Keep it up 🍀💕🪻

Заставить каждого переселенца писать эссе на тему "Матушка-Москва бьёт с носка".=)

@@SamsRussianAdventures ну, бьют-то не по паспорту, а по морде.(с)=)
Местные в любой стране не стремятся выстраивать глубокие отношения, потому что это энергозатратно, если ты уехал из одной страны в другую, то так же можешь уехать снова, какой смысл строить отношения с человеком который с высокой долей вероятности уедет? Поверхностные отношения, возможно. Плюс ко всему у эмигрантов много эмигрантских проблем, и они с радостью переложили бы часть этой ноши на местного друга, а ему это зачем? Незачем. Людей бывает объединяет вера, религия, они оба стремятся к Богу, таким людям проще, потому что они друг на друга смотрят не как местный, и мигрант, а скорее как на духовных братьев. Но много ли с Запада приезжает именно таких людей? Даже христианство на Западе, сильно отличается от православия в России. На Западе если ты богат, значит Бог тебя любит, а беден, значит не очень. Тут они проводят черту между своим и чужим. Пример святых, которые прожили львиную доли своей жизни без гроша в кармане, но прославились своей молитвой и сподвижничеством для них не в счет. Бог для западного человека, зачастую это банкомат, для выдачи денег, славы, индульгенций, что для русского человека выглядит скверно. Вот и выходит, то что выходит. Приезжайте с деньгами, платите за консультации, и наслаждайтесь тем чего нет у вас, и терпите недостатки. Возможно станет лучше, но гарантии вам никто не даст.
Life is a rollercoaster and God stops it falling off the rails
When ever any one shift any where, There are Problem all Over World
Agree 👍
Interesting, looking forward to when you do the video about moving to Russia at or over the age of sixty-five, will happily pay something for that.
The first issue with people who "escape" is that they do not realize that they themselves are the root cause of their problems.
When they get into a new relationship, a new job, or a different country, the problems come back again and again.
Therefor my advice to anyone in any situation that you want to get out of... know yourself !!!!! And that is damn hard.
Not in every case. There are many things that we cannot control, such as a country's politics, economics, foreign policies, etc. Furthermore, if someone escapes an abusive relationship (be it with their partner or their government), it doesn't mean that they will replicate those conditions next time round: the victim should not be blamed.
The new relaxed rules for residency are targeting those who want to escape the woke culture of the west.
@@SamsRussianAdventures True. However.
If these people want to "escape", then what are they actually escaping from?
Wish you good luck.
Thank you!
About the humor I understand you completely, we are still living in Czechia, who will understand the dutch humor? Nobody
What said Is totally true
So many people were angry with my words! Thank you 🙏
Moving to Russia and living there permanently is not a journey without bumps on the road, there are many and some are unreasonable and incomprehensible. It is also clear that if you have enough money to smooth out the potholes on the road, then the journey may be a little more comfortable, but it will hardly be completely without bumps.
Thanks for your wisdom.
My pleasure! 😇
@@SamsRussianAdventures I always look forward to seeing your videos.
У меня возникает чувство, будто многие из вас думают, что соизволив приехать сюда, вы для нас как сладкие подарки на Новый Год. Это не так, если, конечно, не ориентироваться на экзальтированных дамочек, ставящих десяток ❤ под каждым новым видео эмигрантов на RUclips. Большинству нашего населения абсолютно нет до вас никакого дела, поэтому, готовясь переехать сюда, изучайте язык, хотя бы на начальном уровне, миграционное законодательство, думайте, где и кем будете работать и где жить, а не подыскивать себе добросердечную русскую лохушку.
Просто всех каналов показывают именно так.
Самая большая проблема - нарваться на мошенников, которые обещают помочь с переездом и убегают с вашими деньгами. Всё остальное-ерунда
Не знаю кто так и сделал. Я бы сказал что самый большой проблем это разница с менталитетом и трудностями получить документы
This channel should focus on more positive aspects and entice people who are less interested in paperwork and more interested in building families and infrastructure
I focus on all aspects. Everyone will need to do the paperwork! It doesn’t matter who they are!
Sounds like for a foreigner, moving to Russia is a learning experience, like all countries. My biggest worry is having access to my money. Many people tell me, transfer it with crypto, but crypto is so volatile, I don't know. As for friends, I moved away from the area I grew up, so I really don't have friends where I live now. I have co-workers, but not any real friends. I'll be starting over when I get to Russia, and that's fine with me. Hey, maybe I'll be popular, being the new American in town! 😐😐

@@westernwanderer8397 это заблуждение. На самом деле Вы можете привезти с собой любую сумму, а 10 000 долларов США это максимум, который не нужно декларировать на таможне.
@@westernwanderer8397Привозить можно больше, чем $10000, если иметь документ подтверждения, например закрытие счёта в банке или продажи дома.
Сэм, ты конечно нагнал жути. Это называется адаптация. Такое случается при переезде в любую страну мира. А насчет поддержки и общения, то почему бы англоязычным экспатам не создать свою группу в ТГ-канале, общаться, назначать встречи, помогать решать проблемы. Человек не может жить в вакууме, в любом случае ему надо будет заводить знакомства, общаться с людьми.
Сэм просто очень одинок. Либералки и блудные связи замучили и опустошили.
И чего? Я так и сказал. Просто никто об этом не говорит. Вы не читаете что это важно что приезжающие людях заранее знают о проблемах которые здесь им сталкиваются? Или пусть они просто приедут и страдают? Хочу что они к этому подготовятся
If coming to Russia is such a problem and the weather in winter is so bad, why would anybody want to come on their own to Russia in the first place? We share no common goals, language, religion or culture. I can understand a young professional person married to a young professional Russian girl with family in Russia for support but otherwise it seems like escapism to me, like joining the French Foreign Legion!
Так же мы думаем и о твоей стране!
Where are you from?
I love my life here and am so glad that I came here but the mentality is different and I want people to be prepared
This is a very useful video.
This is on of your best videos
Thank you 🙏
You're a really smart guy Sam, I love your content, it's honest, no bs and really well made.
I've got a Russian wife and two little ones that live here in Australia. Someday I would like to experience living in Moscow for a bit. Currently learning Russian.
