@Darth Pepe No because in every strip club,bars,or brothels in europe like half of the women or even more are from Russia that's why. If Russia has such a tremendous economic growth why does that still happens
Imagine being their neighbour. That's how they think : "big countries have to dominate smaller countries". This whole thing about domination that they love. They are dominated in their own country but still want to dominate others.
@Darth Pepe You don´t need to you Wikipedia to grasp simple facts. Russia´s overall GDP is approximately like the GDP of Mexico so it´s far from being the super power it´s government and deluded population want it to be. And therefor Russia is also no 'competition' whatsoever for the West...

It seems like a lot of Russian people have no trust to other people or economical system. Everything, and all the relations, are seen as a zero-sum game where only the strong ones prevail.
It's strange though because I recently googled what the average I.Q level is in Russia and I think it was something like 100 points, which is pretty decent when compared worldwide, but then you listen to people (the majority) like this in video and you can't help but to think where that second zero comes from.

As a chinese I feel the same odd is happening in China as well. people have been taught so blind and ignorant, blocking out from the main stream’s value and nobody awared it. I feel so pathetic and hopeless from the government’s propaganda.
You shouldn't feel pathetic. Propaganda is powerful, and your government knows that better than most, but here in Europe propaganda also exists, one way or another. The fact you can distinguish the truth from propaganda while being bombarded with it everyday just shows you are not at all pathetic, quite the contrary, so don't be down on yourself. The chinese are strong people, stronger than their government for sure, so don't ever give up, the leashes will be broken soon enough.
propaganda is a problem everywhere because it tends to manipulate public opinion and that's why freedom speech is very important for us westerners because it allows everyone to be exposed to various worldviews and then be free to choose which one to support (not a perfect system but it works)
It does give me hope though that there are some intelligent Chinese and Russian people who can see what's happening. Lots of love and respect to you both.

Russian woman says about the West: "If they were happy, they wouldn't invade other people's houses and set their own rules there" Is it Opposite Day again in Soviet Russia?
Their lack of self-awareness and no sense of irony is staggering. This could be an actual scene from a sketch comedy show: "I hate the West!" yells a Russian man dismissively while wearing a NY Yankees baseball cap, Gucci sunglasses, Apple airpods dangling from his ears, a Nike swoosh on his T-shirt, H&M pants, Adidas sneakers, and carrying a blue IKEA shopping bag as he's about to walk into a KFC restaurant. The comedy writes itself! 🤣
I live in the Netherlands and we got a larger economy than the whole of russia. All they got now is a few big cities and even less very rich thieves. The rest has got nothing. Just bizar they don't depose putin...
This is the problem with the Russians. They think we’re obsessed with them. When the truth is the opposite. Nobody cares about Russia until they start being an imperialistic nuisance.
Korea has no natural resources, less than 1% the landmass of Russia, and has a higher GDP than Russia. Like.. wtf? Russia is by most accounts not even a "rich" country.
Sergey - "If they threaten us, we'll go as far as Berlin" Me - "Mate... Your guys couldn't even get to Kyiv! Sit down before your hurt yourself." Ukraine is holding you back with old NATO hand-me-down's... You've got practically no chance against the best modern equipment that we have now.
What I genuinely don't understand is why they so blindly believe to their state propaganda without even asking any question or double check what they here. I was Russian and I would have heard that "we're the strongest", I would like to know how much stronger we are compare to the others. So I would do an independent research to find the truth. Seemingly, almost not Russian is smart enough to do that.
The level of incoherence is just crazy. The main argument is "they want our ressources". The sanctions are mostly that they don't want to buy it anymore, so in a word : "they don't want to buy our ressources anymore because they want our ressources"... The level of schizophrenia goes from "we are the best country in the world, they are just jealous, they would like to be like us, strong and courageous" to " I can't speak about politics". But the best response, almost correct, was : " they like to conquer and crush. They are born like that, while we are different. We are wonderful and happy ". Indeed, that's the reason, it's because you are happy, when you shouldn't..
As a citizen of a former Warsaw pact county, we were a colony in the real meaning of it. Nothing was happening without the approval of Moscow, and when people disagree with it, tanks were sent in our cities.
We were colonies in the pure sense of this word. I remember stories told by my (Polish) parents and grandparents about the tons of charcoal, meat and other resources going to Russia by trains. They were draining us as much as they could.
@@PacekBrudnyPlacek 100% kurwa. As anyone who has lived in Poland knows the stories from people and museums, it wasn't just all the stuff you listed(meat ffs, you can understand coal as empires steal energy resources first but stealing like 90% of many types of Poland's meats was just tantamount to keeping the people underfed, desperate and dumbed down as hunger dumbs and numbs the wits-the malnutritioned are too busy queueing for and fighting for food to protest often, which is imo one reason why the occupation lasted 45 years rather than 10-20)..but the stories of queueing for toilet roll always get me the most, 4-5 hours for 1-2 rolls for a whole family, that's insane even by the communist standards of the time..people in the USSR FFS had toilet roll aplenty but Poles were below Russians and can wait 5 hours for rations and shitty greyed down versions of that...that is how they think of their neighbours, sure look how people in Mariupol wait 3-4 hours for bread and toiletries now, same shit, different decade.
well, my parents always saying in that times it was better in some ways, everyone had to work(or jail) everything was cheap, it was very easy to buy a house just from 3-4 average payrolls, it was just hard to get something from other states and hard to travel...In Czechoslovakia
I suspect by now, everyday Russians actually do understand what is happening in Ukraine. They're just not ready to accept responsibility for their horrific actions.
Of course they know and understand perfectly well, but they daren´t talk about the "special operation" AKA WAR on camera, fearing their comments will be spread around the whole world, which is of course what happens.
OMFG this is painful to watch&listen to. 😮💨 They seriously think that someone wants to grab their land, yet fail to see their own land-grabbing practices. And surely, they are sanctioned not because of invading another country and committing genocidal acts, but because they are soooo rich... (To be factual, their economy is comparable to Italy or Spain). They are so doomed 😭
Unsurprisingly none seem to be aware that Russia stole the Kamchatka region from China in the beginning of the 20th century, that it invaded Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968, etc.
it would be a "fun fact", if it wasn't: Even ww2 started for Russia in 1941, because Russia doesn't see a wrong doing in attacking other countries like taking apart Poland in 1939 TOGETHER with the Nazi regime. Only if someone is attacking Russia, like Hitler backstabbed Stalin in 1941, THEN it is called a war. Russians never expierenced what's right and wrong, like germany did, because it was overshadowed with sending 27 mio (!!) soviets to fight something like 5 mio nazis. Seriously, who loses 27 mio own people on a defense?
I agree, and this is the reason why the russian government and the russian people only understand / respect force and power. Ukraine cannot negotiate with russia because they Believe that they won't stop until they take the whole of Ukraine or or defeated militarily.
That question to the woman about why the U.S. didn’t try and colonize Russia during the 1990’s was brilliant. It blew apart the ridiculous argument that the West has any desire to “colonize” Russia.
Orwell’s 1984 in living colour. A public which passively accepts Kremlin NewSpeak. It’s actually horrifying how so many people can swallow so much crap 😢
Finished 1984 only a few weeks ago and I was exactly thinking the same as you did. I also read that this book is sold a lot more in Russia since so called special operation started. Guess a few people there start to understand. But way too less. I dont have a lot of hope for this country and to be honest I find it hard to wish them anything good

@nick conder the part where the guy say that the west treat Russians as second class citizen in their country. Did you ever felt that or do you know where that feeling could come from ?
In Romania, when I was a child in the 90s, the general thought was that we are a particularly rich country in terms of natural resources. It seemed that this wealth made us different and superior to the rest of the countries and peoples of the world. I noticed this kind of thinking at school and through discussions with the adults around me. Even in discussions with my parents, and they were never nostalgic for the communist regime. Even from that age I had the impression that it was a way to mask the lack of self-respect of the romanian people. We were not aware of having done anything to be truly proud of in our history, so we preferred to delude ourselves with the supposed natural wealth of the geographical territory in which we lived. As if this wealth was our merit. Over the years, this kind of thinking seems to have gradually faded as people began to get over the trauma of the communist regime. Now I rarely hear such thinking in society. Since listening to the 1420 interviews, I have come to the conclusion that the russians are also suffers from a lack of self-respect to the extent that we were during the cold war. The supposed jealousy of others for "our" natural resources is ubiquitous. I feel now, in a way that I did not before February 24, 2022, how good it is that we are no longer slaves to the Kremlin
Very interesting comment! 👍 Yes, everything connected to Russia will rot and corrupt. We here in Estonia are super happy that we aren't anymore under the control of the Kremlin. Russians should keep their Russkii mir (Russian world) for themselves inside their borders and not export it.
Communist regimes and dictatorship în general thrive on nationalism, the last refuge of communism . People have been indoctrinated to think that their country is unique and coveted by the rest of the 'evil foreigners' . Almost a hundred years of this kind of ' daily diet' of propaganda in Russia and 50 years in the rest of Eastern Europe led to self delusion and a false sense of pride, when in fact quite the opposite was true. It was the best way that tinpot dictators, including the current one in Russia can keep their citizens in and can justify their crimes.
Bingo, excellent analysis. As Croatian I can confirm in ex Yugoslavia there was a similar thinking ("The West wanted Yugoslavia to break up because of resources"). Russians have a deep inferiority complex and they often balance between two different poles (over self confidence or deep shame). They don't have a healthy relationship with their country and that's really sad. I thought Croatians were problematic, but Russians are on another level of lack of self confidence. When it comes to your country, Romania's development in the last 30 years is impressive, from North Korea 2.0 you became one of the most stable and fastest growing countries in Europe.
This is a fascinating comment. Thank you. Being an Anglophone (US), another aspect of Russianism that is foreign to us is their references to “the Motherland,” meaning Russia. I did not hear it in this video though.
They exist with a mixture of inferiority complex and megalomania. Your analysis is spot on, that sense of national failure is also why they are obsessed with WWII as it is the only thing in their history which was "noble" (if your take on history is extremely black and white and you disregard the crimes the USSR committed against its neighbors before, during and after WWII).
It‘s because: I count 30 wars where Moscow has been involved since 1945. 1945 Sovjet - Japanese war 1946-1954 Indochina War 1950-1953 Korean War 1955-1975 Vietnam War 1953 East Germany uprising 1956 Hungarian Revolution 1961-1968 Vlora Incident 1968 Invasion of Czechoslovakia 1969 Zhenbao Island Incident 1969-1970 War of Attrition / Israel 1974-1991 Eritrean War 1975-1991 Angolan War 1977-1978 Somali War 1979-1989 Invasion of Afghanistan 1991-1993 Gerorgian War 1991-1992 South Ossetian War 1992-1993 Abkhazian War 1992 Transnistrian War 1992 East Progorodni Conflict 1992-1997 Tadjikistan War 1995-1996 1st Chechen War 1999 Dagestan War 1999-2009 2nd Chechen War 2008 Occupation of Ossetia and Abkhazia 2009-2017 North Caucasus conflicts 2014-Ongoing Invasion of Ukraine 2015-Ongoing Syrian War 2018-Ongoing Central African Republic War Now, since people here allways list conflicts amd civil wars and claim „NATO“ started it, like the Balkan civil war or the US intervention when Iraq invaded Kuwait - It‘s fair to list all wars Moscow started AND where part of. Also, since „my“ country has been involved in ZERO wars during this period of time, I am in the position to clearly say, Russia is a country constantly involved in conflicts and wars and therefore I strongly condemn it. Fair enough?

Also, I've lived in multiple places in the collective West where Russians lived. Have had Russians in my home, eaten with them, my kids were besties with them. Just two weeks ago I went to a school event for my kid, and we sat with a Russian family. No one is against normal Russian people, and no one wants your land. We have enough land and enough resources. The reason for the sanctions is to stop the illegal invasion and genocide in Ukraine. It's really that simple.
@@barriewatson5210 Most Russians I know live OUTside of Russia. That's the difference. I'm just continually shocked every time I hear these interviews. Until Russia invaded Ukraine, most people would approach a Russian person like they would anyone else--assume them to be a normal, functioning member of society. To scream that "everyone hates us just because we're Russian" is disingenuous/flat out false. But normal people object to invasions and genocide, no matter who is doing it. It's just so shocking that everyone on the planet can see this, yet inside Russia, there's little acknowledgement of the invasion and genocide. Whether willingly, or because they are daily bathed in propaganda and are truly clueless is something only God can judge. But yikes. What Ukraine is going through is horrifying. But the same process is rotting Russia from the inside and stealing their futures, too.

As a Czech, let me assure you that the Warsaw Pact tanks that came to insure we remained part of the Warsaw Pact are proof that our membership was not a voluntary. Your question asking that woman why the west did not take over Russia in the 1990s was a master stroke.
What country would dare to colonize Russia when USSR fall, when they might be weak economically, but the military & nukes could be a headache? It's not really rocket science reasoning, just commonsense. US won't confront Russia directly, even until now. The goal has been to dismantle Russia into smaller states through indirect way, like using bordering countries & create chaos inside. It is a well documented goal that can be read in US Declassified docs, US leaders speeches & US subcon financed Think Tanks. It is hard for ordinary Russians, ofc. But foreign policy wise, Russia has exhausted their diplomatic channels. I think US will only stop being hostile to Russia, if Russia is divided into several independent countries with less military might. US, as a hegemon, will always consider Russia's military force as a threat to their national security. I do not judge them, in a realist point of view. On the other hand, this is also a National threat to Russia. As non Russian, I do not judge Russia, in a realist point of view.

Hi 1420 team. Another great video - thank you, guys 😊 Following on from this theme that runs through many of your videos, in which many of your participants claim that Russia has never attacked anyone, I'd be interested to know how Russians think their country became so big. Can you show them a picture of a map which shows the original size of Moscow, and ask them how they believe the country gained the territory it has today? I'm fascinated by their complete lack of knowledge when it comes to their history.
They all deserve everything thats going to come. Every hardship they will face will be deserved and yet they will still blame everyone else for the position they put themselves in.
No. They don't deserve anything bad. They are normal people who form their opinions based on their perception,same as we do. Trust me in the west the majority of people also Form their opinions based on news articles. We have the same potential to be misinformed.
It is a fine line. Although these people carry a collective, passive responsibility, I think that the worse they deserve is a "rude awakening" from their delusion. But no physical harm.
@@fullhousehero4038 No excuse. You simply dont start an offensive war with 200 000+ casualties without the majority of the population supporting it or being indifferent
@@fullhousehero4038 here informations, news and opinions are free tho, you can discuss every point of view with everyone and make yourself an idea based on evidence and actual facts. In Russia they get bombarded every day with propaganda and obvious fake news, also having a different opinion is not really possible, it's even dangerous
@@fullhousehero4038 What would it take it for you to form an opinion that could make you celebrate turning peaceful cities into rubble and telling to your grandson who's calling from the frontlines to kill all the civilians he sees? No, they deserve all the bad things that are coming for them, including physical harm. If a bully can't be persuaded or reasoned with he has to be kicked in the nuts. A criminal unwilling to desist will warrants a violent response. And a rabid dog has to be put down. Why do you think that the Russians are special in this regard?
Dear Russian viewers - if Ukraine had invaded Russia the world would be supporting you and sanctioning Ukraine instead. The world is against an aggressor invading a smaller neighbor based on flimsy rationales.
true enough, but also ''world'' u mean especially nato countries, what are just US dicksuckers and doing what US want...how many times was US in the war, since WW2 much more than Russia, and zero sanctions against them
Russians forget that the "evil west" helped THEM and gave THEM WEAPONS when Russia was invaded in 1941 and that was even after Stalin invaded and took half of Poland!
@@minerran and again after the USSR social experiment collapsed in the early 1990s. And again since the collapse with foreign investment from thousands of businesses that brought their expertise into Russia to help rebuild the country to provide a decent standard of living. And the lists go on...
@@minerran get the history right, Russia didnt took half of Poland, maybe max 30%, but I guess less, and also evil west joins the war just because of attacks from Japan...till then US didnt care, even Churchill asked for help and no answer from US
Yes,….. they figured it out! Myself, all My friends, we talk everyday about how jealous we are of Russians lol😂 Btw, my wife is Russian, she is a doctor here in the US, and definitely not treated as a second class citizen. What a bunch of BS
Its so frightening to see so many people with so little curiosity to question their situation. The level of self reflection goes to the level of a third grader - we have a big country with many resources so therefore everyone wants to crush us.
If it were to happen, a fight between an independent Texas, 30 million, and Russia, 150 million, would be won by Texas. It would not happen because Russia has resources. It would happen because Russia deployed its resources in a manner to cause disquiet abroad. Again.
It's the same in every country. “Russia blew up the Nord Stream because Russia evil”. It's short, it's sweet, you're told it by credible people, so you don't need to think about it anymore. Well, Russians should behave differently in this situation because the situation itself is extraordinary, but it doesn't happen for some reason. I still don't understand why, as a Russian. Not many people see that things aren't normal.
Yep, quite incredible. They claim to be growing, and just as well developed and advanced as any nation; Wearing Japanese headphones, Norwegian jacket (HH), US sunglasses, Chinese phone, watching a South Korean TV at home sitting on Swedish Furniture, driving a German Car...etc. etc. Perhaps they actually have Russian Vodka in the glass tho. A glass made in Italy....
@@jarls5890I'm 101% convinced Russians know they suck. I've never drunk a Russian under the table, but I betcha they would admit they *know* it's all a fucking FARCE If it was technically possible for me to drink a Russian under the table ;)
@@jarls5890 Take my upvote because that was hilarious lol. Brilliant! 😂😂 Edit: They claim Russia is so strong economically but they LITERALLY have no industries of significance. All of it is either weak or non-existent.. And then they use (mostly) Western products while saying the West sucks and wants to take over Russia lol.
And about the Ribbentrop Molotov Pact, following which the Baltic countries were occupied, this lady remained silent. Very unjust, greedy and evil people.
Now explain Guam, Hawaii, California, the Louisiana purchase, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo Bay, and many many more land acquisitions the USA has gone through.
These people are always saying people are jealous over their land and what they have. I follow this Russian fellow on social media, he's an engineer. A successful man. I, here in the US, am a server at a senior living community. I have seen where he lives and what his home looks like and I am obviously well aware of my living situation and I can certainly tell you that I am not jealous. These interviews are humorous and disturbing and baffling all at once.
Watch videos of the Russian countryside. It looks like they're stuck in the late 1800's. They carry buckets of water from outdoor wells and have no indoor pumbing and only dirt roads. Not even a grocery store in sight. They rely on a van coming by every once in a while to sell items they need. This is not a joke. Most of the houses are dilapitated or in poor condition. They look like they haven't seen a lick of paint since Stalin's times. People there sell milk and and other farm products to survive, and one of the few things they can do out there is get piss drunk and watch state propaganda about Putler's "glorious Russia" and the "evil West" who wants to destroy them.
Aren't you jealous of this engineer's overgrown ego? If you were as blind as he is, seeing the US flag would make your day, and hearing the calling sound of the American Bald Eagle™ would make you come without stimulation. Don't you dream of such a life? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 PS dozens of people have died in my country to get rid of Russian "protection", so I'm sorta on the fence with the jokes
where are all the western immigrants if we're so jealous? i have never met anyone in my life who would rather live in russia. we have an idiom for things that are poorly and carelessly repaired or produced. we say that was made russian.
"Russia never attacked anyone" always gets me. Countries invaded by Russia in the past 100 years: (many of them multiple times) • Estonia • Latvia • Lithuania • Georgia • Moldova • Chechnya • Afghanistan • Romania • Poland • Finland • Ukraine • China • Japan • (not even counting here anything that happened during WW2) • Vietnam • Cambodia • Laos • Korea • Hungary • Czechoslovakia • Egypt-Israel war • Eritrea • Somalia Last 30 years: • Georgia • Moldova • Ossetia • Tajikistan • Chechnya • Dagestan • Chechnya (again) • Georgia (again) • Ukraine • Syria • Central African Republic • Ukraine (again)
After WWII, the US helped Western Europe and Germany to rebuild with the Marshall Plan, Germany underwent a process of denazification and education reform, resulting in Germany being one of the leading countries in the world today. None of this will happen to Russia - the world will help Ukraine after the war, and Russia and its completely inadequate people will face a century of poverty and misery. As an EU citizen who lived in Russia for ten years, I hope that the small number of normal Russians will be able to leave the country and start their lives again in some normal country
The irony is that France, England and Russia most of all wanted to slice up Germany and claim it as spoils of war, but the US prevented the first two from doing so, and Russia did of course create East Germany and build that infernal, and failed wall in Berlin. But you are correct that there will be no Marshall Plan after this Russian aggression, and all the Russians with the same mindset as the people in this video will somehow blame the West (and not Putin) for the collapse of their brilliant economy.
this is completely wrong. germany was copmpletely bombed out and totally destroyed, yet they got only a tiny fraction from the marshal plan. you can see that france or England got 8x more money over. they had drained the technology and advancements out. germany did it on themselves with the KfW Kredit. That is still existant today. thats all. the Prussian state and the states afterwards were better in education so they simply always had superior manpower per capita.
We have enough problems with migration today don't need more problems unless they work hard. Russians in other countries like Estonia have a bad reputation for being agents of chaos and squatting. Don't see how people still in Russia will be welcomed like those who fled.
......and don't forget - - Russia is one of our top tourist destinations ! and we buy thousands of imported cars like Lada because their technology is cutting edge ! //s
I dream of the Russian achievement called "life expectancy". Russian men retire at 65, and - statistically - die three years later. Meanwhile me, born in Poland , have numerous friends in their 80's.
you heard that all of this was probably out of the need for selfdefence. They a big belt of other territory to protect themselves from the vicious west... so eastern part of Poland had to be included, just like the Baltics after WW2... it was a necessity for peace. Don't you understand that ? Ironie off
As a german, i feel this is similar to what ordinary german people that lived through WW2 must have told themselves and others. And now i realized why... they are too scared to look the truth in the eye. They all know! Acknowledging the truth of the matter would be an acknowledgement of one's own involvement (or lack thereof because of political passivity) and responsibility for the actions of one's leadership.
It's actually hard to blame them for that, because psychologically it's a really hard pill to swallow. Imagine someone loving, trusting, believing in, and caring for somebody for their whole life only to find out one day that the person (country in that case) is capable of such terrible crimes and does it everyday. It's just a defense mechanism, to believe in any nonsence to justify what your country does, rather just admit that you've been mistaken and lied to for your whole life, and that someone you love is a monster.
My Grandfather left Germany when Hitler came to power, he then fought against Germany. I am tempted to leave the west for the same reasons. This conflict was planned and provoked by the US. Read this US report from 2019, it goes into a lot of detail.
This is why Russia needs to be defeated big time, just like Germany was in 1945. If it doesn't, then the war will rage a new in a couple of years only this time it'll be much worse - just like Germany starting WW2 after being a loosing party in WW1.
The general German public has proven with perfect clarity the internal integrity that they possessed! They did look hard into their soul and they chose to make a path correction, and that correction has made it second most desired place to immigrate to next to the USA!!! The big difference between the German of WWII and the Russian public tofsy is that Russia will continue to write their own narrative, their own books and their own history of events and they will continue to be the way they are! They will continue to refuse to look deep into themselves and see that they need to find some integrity and make a path correction! They never will do it!
Once, my bicycle was stolen - some days later I found it parked in the street, locked to a fence. I went home and got some pliers and went to cut the wire. I cut it, and was removing the bike, when a guy came - very angry - why I was destoying his lock? I told him it was my bike and I that I didn't care about his lock - he could call the police, if he liked. This did not calm him down very much, he still felt wronged (luckily, the situation didn't turn violent and was kind of subdued). He knew that he had stolen the bike, and he knew that I knew he had stolen it, but he felt intimidated by me - that I had the audacity to react and take back my bike- and even destroying his property (the lock). I get the same kind of logic from many Russian people being interviewed about the situation - they don't really acknowledge the dominant wrong that was done - Russia's army invading Ukraine - and instead focus on the wrongs done to them (as result of the dominant wrong), and they want retribution against Ukraine and the "West". Propaganda and stupidity go hand in hand. Sorry for the long rant - I have watched hundreds of these videos (thank you, 1420), and it has been irking me endlessly
I think lots of people understand that their standard of living isn't the best. But instead of complaining, they rather tell each other how great their country is. Refined Copium.
Because Putin wrongfully with full intent, commanded the MURDERED of thousands of babies, children and innocent civilians in Ukraine! THATS WHY! Currently, the Russian people are no more knowledgeable about what is truthfully going on than the Nazis were. The government keeps them in the dark just like most governments; including ours in America! If Russia was so strong, then explain to me all the devastated villages I see on RUclips were people survive in ABSOLUTE and horrific poverty. My best friend in the whole world lived in Smolensk with his mother and they barely managed to live. Then one day he was sitting in a park and a riot came by him along with the police. HE WAS BRUTALLY BEATEN TO DEATH!!! He was the most kind and innocent human being I have ever known. He was only 26 and would have been a great Russian poet!!!! RUSSIA MURDERED HIM AND NOW HIS MOTHER HAS NO ONE! AND I HAVE LOST THE GREATEST PERSON IN ALL THE WORLD! AT THE LAST DAY IN HEAVEN, I WILL STAND IN FRONT OF GOD AND CONDEMN RUSSIA AND ITS IGNORANT PEOPLES.
and it's not even true, they are and were even before their war in ukraine far away from growth. It was not a decline either, but it is not what you calla growth - i seriously cannot laugh anymore after those last two years, normally i would
the absence of free journalism for more than 10 years has been weaning our people from thinking outside the box, a minority resorts to the Internet in search of the truth, the majority of Russians are still focused on external factors, and not on internal self-development. This is a common thing when incomes are not high enough, and the economy is in decline, there is no freedom of speech, but then there is authoritarian power.
@user-yb9yn7ny5n so if Russia also decided to bomb Ukraine to "end active part of conflict" (of Ukraine bombing Donbas for 8 years) without taking land - would you also say that Russia is a good guy?
It's increasingly painful for me to watch these interviews as the war goes on. Initially I felt a strong sense of respect and even admiration of the russian people from when I studied and worked in the army and navy, even from the perspective of being an adversary. I've never referred to russians as enemies. All that has gradually changed since I'm discovering the nature of the ordinary russian through your videos. Never would I have believed the citizens of Russia would allow the madness to continue for so long, and any hope for common sense of themselves and respect towards other people is quickly fading. I'll think twice again before considering Russia a great nation, sadly. EDIT: And apologies to those handfuls of sane Russians you've managed to find amongst them, as well as all those enlightened enough to flee the country, and of course your team. Thanks for your work.
Everyone writes that the Russian people are bad. But for some reason they don’t write about US citizens and the army. When they bombed civilians in Serbia with carpet bombing. Why were you silent then? And when, under the pretext of developing nuclear weapons, Iraq was bombed and how many human lives were lost. which then no sanctions were imposed against the United States. Everyone was silent
There are no “great nations” in the world. We are all humans and there are good, bad and both people. Having a passport of a certain country doesn’t really change anything. I have three, but my thoughts and actions are just my own.
It's like fkin nightmare to witness how people are so willingly manipulated into respeaking whatever shit no matter how crazy it is. I'm however leaning towards that maybe this is an exclusivly in Russia over time developed characteristic. Watching 1420, at times you get this feeling that Russians actually deserve to be this buttfked by their government.
Throughout history, Russians had a very special relationship with people who wield power. Tzars and emperors were referred to as “The Lord’s Anointed”, the one who reigns by the divine right, and their power was believed to be sacred. That's why these days the Russian “government” is thought to be a separate, almost miraculous entity, something entirely different from the people. As a result of this unhealthy relationship with the government, the regular Russian person is born with a rare genetic malfunction: an inborn submission to any authority.
Now ask yourself how manipulated the general public has been in the PRC or North Korea. The answer isn't a pleasant one when you add all those countries together. ~
@@christianevanherck6023 To be fair. The deification of kings and leaders isn't something that is specific to Russia. Although I definitely agree that today's Russians seem like absolute sheep. They want to seem proud and strong, but yet they love being on a leash. Letting Papa Putler do the thinking and applauding whatever he does.
I like this stuff at the 2:00 mark, the dude talking about how "everybody" wants Russia's resources. I've heard that repeated often in the interviews on this channel. But you know, there is one country which really REALLY wants your resources Russia, and that county also happens to now be in a "friendship w/o limits" relationship with you. What's even more interesting, you're holding on to some of their "historic land". Udachi!
@@mikegee729 Russia's influence in central Asia is fading, while China's is growing there. Meanwhile Russia's Siberian population keeps shrinking, while the Chinese are increasingly setting up businesses and farms across the border. The writing is on the wall with all that.
The weather is getting warmer, and the interviews are becoming, well, a bit more interesting. You guys protect yourselves and keep up the good work. Peace from Chicago.
They *are* aware. Their answers aren't what they really think, it's that their ego replies. Get them to open up - the proverbial vodka may help - and you'll find out they do know their country is shite, nothing else.
You know I think it is not so simple. They do not consider themselves as subjects with influence on political system or history. So they are in a comfortable position of not being responsible as individuals. In totalitarian states, if you are not a hero or suicidal you learn to live with fear and resignation and you call it "being apolitical". It's always "us and them" and you are beyond all suspicions because you always can claim the innocence resulting of being a victim of the system when things will go wrong. It is interesting to look on Russian mindset in regard to crimes of the past. In the Stalinist Era millions of Russians became victims of the terror regime and lived paralyzed by fear for decades. When Stalin died the victims were rehabilitated but no one spoke about perpetrators. When Millions are killed someone had to kill them, right? Year after year passed and no one wanted justice and punishment of perpetrators and accomplices of the regime. As if nothing happened. Some identified themselves with victims, no one with killers. As if Stalin killed all these people in his free time. So don't ask if they are unaware of what they've done. It's never us, it's always them. These who keep power, who make decisions. Average Russian is not a citizen because he had never chance to become one. He loves his country and is proud of being Russian. Wrongdoers are always the others.
@@eremstemero8823 😮 Russia have been living with this for centuries. They have this mindset that no one in Russia would cause them suffering and all of their sufferings are/were because of others maybe bec. they think they are more superior than others and/or because of jealousy. Either way, they have superiority complex and victim mentality.

5:00 None of the Warsaw pact countries were allied with Russia voluntarily. In the Baltics, the choice was that you either "join" the Soviet Union and submit to Moscow or we send in the tanks. NATO is completely democratic and both the governments and the people support NATO.
Poland is the best example. We fought with Bolsheviks and won in 1921(they still haven't paid us reparations under the Treaty of Riga), then they invaded us with nazis in 1939, killed 20 thousands of Elite in Katyń, sent million to Siberia and then they were liberating. XD Of course Red Army during so called liberation was raping, killing Poles, they were stealing everything they could pick up from the ground. After war they were hunting down Underground Army members, torturing them and killing with the shoot in the back of the head. They falsified voting and installed communism...

It seems like a lot of Russian people have no trust to other people or economical system. Everything, and all the relations, are seen as a zero-sum game where only the strong ones prevail.
In a few years, Putin will die, and things will be changed in a good direction for Russia.

The West doesn't really understand just how low the bar of an ordinary Russian is. "I'm not starving, which means my country is awesome!".
It's strange though because I recently googled what the average I.Q level is in Russia and I think it was something like 100 points, which is pretty decent when compared worldwide, but then you listen to people (the majority) like this in video and you can't help but to think where that second zero comes from.
@@fireboy1996 IQ is technical problem solving. The people that "fixed" Russia's economy in the 90s probably had a very high IQ average, but zero social understanding. Sometimes, being "smart" can make you believe you know more than you are actually capable of understanding as a human stuck in a specific context.
IQ has no relation to critical thinking, which is a skill that has to be taught.

As a chinese, I agree with you, so pathetic
propaganda is a problem everywhere because it tends to manipulate public opinion and that's why freedom speech is very important for us westerners because it allows everyone to be exposed to various worldviews and then be free to choose which one to support (not a perfect system but it works)

What I genuinely don't understand is why they so blindly believe to their state propaganda without even asking any question or double check what they here. I was Russian and I would have heard that "we're the strongest", I would like to know how much stronger we are compare to the others. So I would do an independent research to find the truth. Seemingly, almost not Russian is smart enough to do that.
The level of incoherence is just crazy. The main argument is "they want our ressources". The sanctions are mostly that they don't want to buy it anymore, so in a word : "they don't want to buy our ressources anymore because they want our ressources"... The level of schizophrenia goes from "we are the best country in the world, they are just jealous, they would like to be like us, strong and courageous" to " I can't speak about politics". But the best response, almost correct, was : " they like to conquer and crush. They are born like that, while we are different. We are wonderful and happy ". Indeed, that's the reason, it's because you are happy, when you shouldn't..
As a citizen of a former Warsaw pact county, we were a colony in the real meaning of it. Nothing was happening without the approval of Moscow, and when people disagree with it, tanks were sent in our cities.
We were colonies in the pure sense of this word. I remember stories told by my (Polish) parents and grandparents about the tons of charcoal, meat and other resources going to Russia by trains. They were draining us as much as they could.

As anyone who has lived in Poland knows the stories from people and museums, it wasn't just all the stuff you listed(meat ffs, you can understand coal as empires steal energy resources first but stealing like 90% of many types of Poland's meats was just tantamount to keeping the people underfed, desperate and dumbed down as hunger dumbs and numbs the wits-the malnutritioned are too busy queueing for and fighting for food to protest often, which is imo one reason why the occupation lasted 45 years rather than 10-20)..but the stories of queueing for toilet roll always get me the most, 4-5 hours for 1-2 rolls for a whole family, that's insane even by the communist standards of the time..people in the USSR FFS had toilet roll aplenty but Poles were below Russians and can wait 5 hours for rations and shitty greyed down versions of that...that is how they think of their neighbours, sure look how people in Mariupol wait 3-4 hours for bread and toiletries now, same shit, different decade.
well, my parents always saying in that times it was better in some ways, everyone had to work(or jail) everything was cheap, it was very easy to buy a house just from 3-4 average payrolls, it was just hard to get something from other states and hard to travel...In Czechoslovakia
It's sad that they really don't understand what is happening in Ukraine and why sanctions exist.
Not sad, pathetic and disgusting...

I suspect by now, everyday Russians actually do understand what is happening in Ukraine. They're just not ready to accept responsibility for their horrific actions.

In Romania, when I was a child in the 90s, the general thought was that we are a particularly rich country in terms of natural resources. It seemed that this wealth made us different and superior to the rest of the countries and peoples of the world.
I noticed this kind of thinking at school and through discussions with the adults around me. Even in discussions with my parents, and they were never nostalgic for the communist regime.
Even from that age I had the impression that it was a way to mask the lack of self-respect of the romanian people. We were not aware of having done anything to be truly proud of in our history, so we preferred to delude ourselves with the supposed natural wealth of the geographical territory in which we lived. As if this wealth was our merit.
Over the years, this kind of thinking seems to have gradually faded as people began to get over the trauma of the communist regime. Now I rarely hear such thinking in society.
Since listening to the 1420 interviews, I have come to the conclusion that the russians are also suffers from a lack of self-respect to the extent that we were during the cold war. The supposed jealousy of others for "our" natural resources is ubiquitous.
I feel now, in a way that I did not before February 24, 2022, how good it is that we are no longer slaves to the Kremlin
Very interesting comment! 👍 Yes, everything connected to Russia will rot and corrupt. We here in Estonia are super happy that we aren't anymore under the control of the Kremlin. Russians should keep their Russkii mir (Russian world) for themselves inside their borders and not export it.
Communist regimes and dictatorship în general thrive on nationalism, the last refuge of communism . People have been indoctrinated to think that their country is unique and coveted by the rest of the 'evil foreigners' . Almost a hundred years of this kind of ' daily diet' of propaganda in Russia and 50 years in the rest of Eastern Europe led to self delusion and a false sense of pride, when in fact quite the opposite was true. It was the best way that tinpot dictators, including the current one in Russia can keep their citizens in and can justify their crimes.
Bingo, excellent analysis. As Croatian I can confirm in ex Yugoslavia there was a similar thinking ("The West wanted Yugoslavia to break up because of resources"). Russians have a deep inferiority complex and they often balance between two different poles (over self confidence or deep shame). They don't have a healthy relationship with their country and that's really sad. I thought Croatians were problematic, but Russians are on another level of lack of self confidence.
When it comes to your country, Romania's development in the last 30 years is impressive, from North Korea 2.0 you became one of the most stable and fastest growing countries in Europe.
This is a fascinating comment. Thank you.
Being an Anglophone (US), another aspect of Russianism that is foreign to us is their references to “the Motherland,” meaning Russia. I did not hear it in this video though.
They exist with a mixture of inferiority complex and megalomania. Your analysis is spot on, that sense of national failure is also why they are obsessed with WWII as it is the only thing in their history which was "noble" (if your take on history is extremely black and white and you disregard the crimes the USSR committed against its neighbors before, during and after WWII).
God, he said they'd done nothing wrong, no hope for that country.

Now, since people here allways list conflicts amd civil wars and claim „NATO“ started it, like the Balkan civil war or the US intervention when Iraq invaded Kuwait - It‘s fair to list all wars Moscow started AND where part of.

Just two weeks ago I went to a school event for my kid, and we sat with a Russian family. No one is against normal Russian people, and no one wants your land. We have enough land and enough resources. The reason for the sanctions is to stop the illegal invasion and genocide in Ukraine. It's really that simple.

@@barriewatson5210 Most Russians I know live OUTside of Russia. That's the difference. I'm just continually shocked every time I hear these interviews. Until Russia invaded Ukraine, most people would approach a Russian person like they would anyone else--assume them to be a normal, functioning member of society. To scream that "everyone hates us just because we're Russian" is disingenuous/flat out false. But normal people object to invasions and genocide, no matter who is doing it. It's just so shocking that everyone on the planet can see this, yet inside Russia, there's little acknowledgement of the invasion and genocide. Whether willingly, or because they are daily bathed in propaganda and are truly clueless is something only God can judge. But yikes. What Ukraine is going through is horrifying. But the same process is rotting Russia from the inside and stealing their futures, too.

It's scary and sad to hear whole nation of lunatics. They live in total illusion.
It is Russia which created Putin, not the opposite.
The sheer political naīvety is breathtaking. “Conquering, enslaving and crushing” has always been the Russian way.
As a Czech, let me assure you that the Warsaw Pact tanks that came to insure we remained part of the Warsaw Pact are proof that our membership was not a voluntary. Your question asking that woman why the west did not take over Russia in the 1990s was a master stroke.
Well she was stupid. They didnt need to attack Russia since America rigged and put their puppet Yeltsin in charge.
What country would dare to colonize Russia when USSR fall, when they might be weak economically, but the military & nukes could be a headache? It's not really rocket science reasoning, just commonsense.
US won't confront Russia directly, even until now. The goal has been to dismantle Russia into smaller states through indirect way, like using bordering countries & create chaos inside. It is a well documented goal that can be read in US Declassified docs, US leaders speeches & US subcon financed Think Tanks.
It is hard for ordinary Russians, ofc. But foreign policy wise, Russia has exhausted their diplomatic channels. I think US will only stop being hostile to Russia, if Russia is divided into several independent countries with less military might.
US, as a hegemon, will always consider Russia's military force as a threat to their national security. I do not judge them, in a realist point of view. On the other hand, this is also a National threat to Russia. As non Russian, I do not judge Russia, in a realist point of view.

As an american, I can tell you the following (sarcasm engage): Everyone I know in America thinks about Russia, is jealous of their strength and resources, and afraid of their powerful military. We all wish we could live in an outdated authoritarian regime that invades its neighbors, etc. Also we see Russia as a rising power, not one that is collapsing with no intervention.

Hi 1420 team. Another great video - thank you, guys 😊 Following on from this theme that runs through many of your videos, in which many of your participants claim that Russia has never attacked anyone, I'd be interested to know how Russians think their country became so big. Can you show them a picture of a map which shows the original size of Moscow, and ask them how they believe the country gained the territory it has today? I'm fascinated by their complete lack of knowledge when it comes to their history.
They all deserve everything thats going to come. Every hardship they will face will be deserved and yet they will still blame everyone else for the position they put themselves in.
No. They don't deserve anything bad. They are normal people who form their opinions based on their perception,same as we do. Trust me in the west the majority of people also Form their opinions based on news articles. We have the same potential to be misinformed.
It is a fine line. Although these people carry a collective, passive responsibility, I think that the worse they deserve is a "rude awakening" from their delusion. But no physical harm.

Its so frightening to see so many people with so little curiosity to question their situation. The level of self reflection goes to the level of a third grader - we have a big country with many resources so therefore everyone wants to crush us.
If it were to happen, a fight between an independent Texas, 30 million, and Russia, 150 million, would be won by Texas. It would not happen because Russia has resources. It would happen because Russia deployed its resources in a manner to cause disquiet abroad. Again.
It's the same in every country. “Russia blew up the Nord Stream because Russia evil”. It's short, it's sweet, you're told it by credible people, so you don't need to think about it anymore.
Well, Russians should behave differently in this situation because the situation itself is extraordinary, but it doesn't happen for some reason. I still don't understand why, as a Russian. Not many people see that things aren't normal.
There is no hope for a normal Russia.....best the world drives them out of Ukraine and then stop any dealings with them and throw the key away

These people are always saying people are jealous over their land and what they have. I follow this Russian fellow on social media, he's an engineer. A successful man. I, here in the US, am a server at a senior living community. I have seen where he lives and what his home looks like and I am obviously well aware of my living situation and I can certainly tell you that I am not jealous. These interviews are humorous and disturbing and baffling all at once.
Watch videos of the Russian countryside. It looks like they're stuck in the late 1800's. They carry buckets of water from outdoor wells and have no indoor pumbing and only dirt roads. Not even a grocery store in sight. They rely on a van coming by every once in a while to sell items they need. This is not a joke.
Most of the houses are dilapitated or in poor condition. They look like they haven't seen a lick of paint since Stalin's times. People there sell milk and and other farm products to survive, and one of the few things they can do out there is get piss drunk and watch state propaganda about Putler's "glorious Russia" and the "evil West" who wants to destroy them.
Neither am i. I rather live under a bridge than in this ignorant society.
Aren't you jealous of this engineer's overgrown ego?
If you were as blind as he is, seeing the US flag would make your day, and hearing the calling sound of the American Bald Eagle™ would make you come without stimulation.

PS dozens of people have died in my country to get rid of Russian "protection", so I'm sorta on the fence with the jokes

After WWII, the US helped Western Europe and Germany to rebuild with the Marshall Plan, Germany underwent a process of denazification and education reform, resulting in Germany being one of the leading countries in the world today. None of this will happen to Russia - the world will help Ukraine after the war, and Russia and its completely inadequate people will face a century of poverty and misery. As an EU citizen who lived in Russia for ten years, I hope that the small number of normal Russians will be able to leave the country and start their lives again in some normal country
The irony is that France, England and Russia most of all wanted to slice up Germany and claim it as spoils of war, but the US prevented the first two from doing so, and Russia did of course create East Germany and build that infernal, and failed wall in Berlin. But you are correct that there will be no Marshall Plan after this Russian aggression, and all the Russians with the same mindset as the people in this video will somehow blame the West (and not Putin) for the collapse of their brilliant economy.
this is completely wrong. germany was copmpletely bombed out and totally destroyed, yet they got only a tiny fraction from the marshal plan. you can see that france or England got 8x more money over. they had drained the technology and advancements out. germany did it on themselves with the KfW Kredit. That is still existant today. thats all.
the Prussian state and the states afterwards were better in education so they simply always had superior manpower per capita.
We have enough problems with migration today don't need more problems unless they work hard. Russians in other countries like Estonia have a bad reputation for being agents of chaos and squatting. Don't see how people still in Russia will be welcomed like those who fled.
Well if you refuse to use your brain that's what happens. China will own Siberia soon & Moscow will continue to poop behind the trees.
Wow, ask the countries that were part of the Soviet Union? They begged for Nato membership & they will say they were abused & enslaved by Russia.

They all know!
Acknowledging the truth of the matter would be an acknowledgement of one's own involvement (or lack thereof because of political passivity) and responsibility for the actions of one's leadership.
It's actually hard to blame them for that, because psychologically it's a really hard pill to swallow. Imagine someone loving, trusting, believing in, and caring for somebody for their whole life only to find out one day that the person (country in that case) is capable of such terrible crimes and does it everyday. It's just a defense mechanism, to believe in any nonsence to justify what your country does, rather just admit that you've been mistaken and lied to for your whole life, and that someone you love is a monster.
My Grandfather left Germany when Hitler came to power, he then fought against Germany. I am tempted to leave the west for the same reasons. This conflict was planned and provoked by the US. Read this US report from 2019, it goes into a lot of detail.
This is why Russia needs to be defeated big time, just like Germany was in 1945. If it doesn't, then the war will rage a new in a couple of years only this time it'll be much worse - just like Germany starting WW2 after being a loosing party in WW1.

The general German public has proven with perfect clarity the internal integrity that they possessed! They did look hard into their soul and they chose to make a path correction, and that correction has made it second most desired place to immigrate to next to the USA!!! The big difference between the German of WWII and the Russian public tofsy is that Russia will continue to write their own narrative, their own books and their own history of events and they will continue to be the way they are! They will continue to refuse to look deep into themselves and see that they need to find some integrity and make a path correction! They never will do it!
Once, my bicycle was stolen - some days later I found it parked in the street, locked to a fence. I went home and got some pliers and went to cut the wire. I cut it, and was removing the bike, when a guy came - very angry - why I was destoying his lock? I told him it was my bike and I that I didn't care about his lock - he could call the police, if he liked. This did not calm him down very much, he still felt wronged (luckily, the situation didn't turn violent and was kind of subdued).
He knew that he had stolen the bike, and he knew that I knew he had stolen it, but he felt intimidated by me - that I had the audacity to react and take back my bike- and even destroying his property (the lock).
I get the same kind of logic from many Russian people being interviewed about the situation - they don't really acknowledge the dominant wrong that was done - Russia's army invading Ukraine - and instead focus on the wrongs done to them (as result of the dominant wrong), and they want retribution against Ukraine and the "West".
Propaganda and stupidity go hand in hand.

the absence of free journalism for more than 10 years has been weaning our people from thinking outside the box, a minority resorts to the Internet in search of the truth, the majority of Russians are still focused on external factors, and not on internal self-development.

I've never referred to russians as enemies. All that has gradually changed since I'm discovering the nature of the ordinary russian through your videos. Never would I have believed the citizens of Russia would allow the madness to continue for so long, and any hope for common sense of themselves and respect towards other people is quickly fading. I'll think twice again before considering Russia a great nation, sadly.

Watching 1420, at times you get this feeling that Russians actually deserve to be this buttfked by their government.
Throughout history, Russians had a very special relationship with people who wield power. Tzars and emperors were referred to as “The Lord’s Anointed”, the one who reigns by the divine right, and their power was believed to be sacred. That's why these days the Russian “government” is thought to be a separate, almost miraculous entity, something entirely different from the people. As a result of this unhealthy relationship with the government, the regular Russian person is born with a rare genetic malfunction: an inborn submission to any authority.
Now ask yourself how manipulated the general public has been in the PRC or North Korea. The answer isn't a pleasant one when you add all those countries together. ~
@@christianevanherck6023 To be fair. The deification of kings and leaders isn't something that is specific to Russia. Although I definitely agree that today's Russians seem like absolute sheep.

They *are* aware. Their answers aren't what they really think, it's that their ego replies.
Get them to open up - the proverbial vodka may help - and you'll find out they do know their country is shite, nothing else.
You know I think it is not so simple. They do not consider themselves as subjects with influence on political system or history. So they are in a comfortable position of not being responsible as individuals. In totalitarian states, if you are not a hero or suicidal you learn to live with fear and resignation and you call it "being apolitical". It's always "us and them" and you are beyond all suspicions because you always can claim the innocence resulting of being a victim of the system when things will go wrong.
It is interesting to look on Russian mindset in regard to crimes of the past. In the Stalinist Era millions of Russians became victims of the terror regime and lived paralyzed by fear for decades. When Stalin died the victims were rehabilitated but no one spoke about perpetrators. When Millions are killed someone had to kill them, right? Year after year passed and no one wanted justice and punishment of perpetrators and accomplices of the regime. As if nothing happened. Some identified themselves with victims, no one with killers. As if Stalin killed all these people in his free time.
So don't ask if they are unaware of what they've done. It's never us, it's always them. These who keep power, who make decisions. Average Russian is not a citizen because he had never chance to become one. He loves his country and is proud of being Russian. Wrongdoers are always the others.
