How about a road trip down to Rostov on Don?
Hi Sam. As a Bulgarian, I have many reasons to like Russia and russians, see the history. I have been to this great country 4 times and I hope one day like this situation that is at the moment ends I will visit it again. Russia, which has been demonized in most cases in its history, is a country that people unknowingly are influenced by what they see in the media. One of the reasons I like Russia and the Russians is that they are patriotic and ready to sacrifice for the Motherland. And let those who think that they can erase the memory of a nation (Bulgarian) are very much mistaken. Not everything in this world is money.
Hi mate, thanks for sharing your thought! Great to know that you support Russia. My Dad visited Varna a few times in the early 90’s to deliver clothes to an orphanage. He said that the people are extremely friendly and hospitable
В 1985-1986 годах переписывалась с девочкой из г. Пловдив. Нам было по 12-13лет
I am a Bulgarian too. Russia is my favorite country. Always believed Russia will save the world. Never been there, I wish to... My dream is to visit all the places related to Dostoevsky in St Petersburg. Love the churches...

Хотя сейчас люди устали от всего.. и нет этого волшебного Петербурга, как 3-5-10 лет назад.. но он также прекрасен!

I thing for sure. Everyone feels a little bit nostalgic about Russia even if they've never been to the country. It is a special place
If you feel nostalgia for Russia, you no doubt feel the same for their old ally NAZI Germany.
Интересное наблюдение 🤔 может это какая-то генетическая память об общем прошлом...
I don't know why I'm pretty nostalgic to Russia as well?
Have you considered the possibility that you are just evil? You do have the mark of the beast in your moniker. I never went to NAZI Germany, but it was a special place as well.
Another brilliant video Sam 😊
My family and friends must think I have one of those Russification machines since I’m moving there soon too 👍🇷🇺
hahaha Tell them it's an online machine!!!! Thanks mate.
You have one of those russification machines.
really cool!!! That one guy was really good with his wood carving. I went to Suzdall last year and saw one church built in 1240!! They have like 60 churches there and the people were really nice. Thank you for the videos!
Dobriy vecher, Sam. Man, that was great. What a wonderful tour around that village. I like the simplicity. The mechanic/woodsmith guy was very welcoming and very talented. It's amazing what average, everyday people can do and often they get little recognition. You may fear bridges, Sam, but your work is a bridge, of sorts. A bridge for those of us who love learning about other cultures. Someday, God willing, I will be able to visit beautiful Russia. Blagosloveniya.

great video, much better than politics :) show us more russian architecture its releally interesting . Most people in USA & Europe are not familiar with Russian architecture... Greetings from Bosnia & Hercegovina
Скажу больше. Большинство жителей США и Европы знают о России исключительно из голливудский пропаганды.
Yup I agree also, Sam's videos about politics are cringy, and they usually get waaay less views
Loved the Statue...!!! Bloody Awesome..!! and the Post Office was cool.. Hell Sam..!!! It was all eye opening..!! Cool...
Glad you enjoyed it! The post office actually still works! I got there after closing time! I will return another day to film inside!
You should come back in summer and film this place again, it'll probably look great with all the people barbecuing. Also, I think that three headed dragon and the knight (bogatyr) are from the story of Ilya Muromets.
Even though I am over 70 years of age, I would love to move to Russia. I just need the money. Lucky you!
The cost of living is cheaper in Russia than in most places.
How do you access your money.......I think others go in and out of the country and have another bank account in a nearby place...Hungary, Turkey, etc. That could get expensive.
@@junerobertson4389 In Russia, prisons provide full board and robes free of charge. So you will not need money.
Fanny thing is that I do the same thing when I film my town UpState NY: the backyards, small streets, farm fields that's what I love to see and film.
Isn't there a famous, and very old church in Suzdal? I have been intensely interested in Russia since I was small. These glimpses of how ordinary Russians live and the occasional interactions with people are priceless. Thank you.
There are many. I’ve filmed there many times and I’m going there again tomorrow
Great video Sam! My ultimate goal is to live in Russia! I ve been a few times and just love there! Tks from Brazil!🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Hi Sam, I'm a huge fan of your channel! If you can, I'd love to see you explore the life of Abram Petrovich Gannibal, Peter the Great's adopted 100%AfricanSon and Pushkin's great-grandfather.
400 years ago, while people like him would be inchains or toiling in fetters inEurope. InRussia, he became ChiefMilitaryEngineer and General-in-Chief, with a fascinating story that deserves a deep dive. It would be amazing if you could visit his former residence and give us a tour, revealing more about his extraordinary life and contributions to history.
Thanks for sharing. I will look into it.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I have also always held an affinity for whatRussia and Peter the G, did for him, as well as theUSSR's role in helping liberate manyAfrican nations (though the work was incomplete due to its collapse). His Ru-wiki page is a treasure trove and good starting point.
А его правнук стал великим русским поэтом Александром Сергеевичем Пушкиным.
@@user-se3gv6bu9g Yes. Many in his family were impressive even his sons Gen. Ivan and Osip Abramovich Gannibal - of Mikhailovskoye.
Pretty interesting look on more rural Russia. The architecture is indeed interesting.
Great video Sam! Thank you very much! Your videos are a great guide for people who want to get to know Russia better. 👍❤️🇷🇺❤️👍
There is a difference between a "kolhoz" and a "sovhoz".
"Kolhoz" was a cooperative whose members are the owners of their share. They do not receive a salary - they receive their share of the cooperative's profits.
"Sovhoz" was a state enterprise for the production of agricultural products. Workers were hired in the same way as in any factory and received a salary.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve asked this question many times and the only explanation I have been given is that Kolhoz was made in the prewar years and Sovhoz was a later thing. I really appreciate you letting me know about this.
@@SamsRussianAdventures This is partly true: in the 1960s (under Stalin’s successor Nikita Khrushchev), many collective farms (cooperatives, kolhozes) that had existed since pre-WWII times were reorganized into state farms (sovhozes).
This was done not only in agriculture, but also in industry (in the production of consumer goods).
In other words, under Stalin there was more private commercial initiative in agriculture and industry, and there was less state monopoly than under Khrushchev and after him.
Interesting!!..I hope that you can convey to the Russian people that we do not support the Western persecution of Russia.
I fully support the Russian people in their struggle against Western interference in their country
The green house owner is awesome and making various arts from wood . The mosaic house is artful too. This town is not crowded like Vladimir but lively productive, with Disney like statues. Thanks for sharing.😁
I grew up in an old Lead mining town. the mines were closing, and the houses were row houses of the shotgun variety. which meant they were rectangular, and the front door lined up with the back and you could fire a shotgun through it and not hit a wall, hence the name, and as a bit of mischief some boys dragged a tractor tire to the top of the chat dump (which was piled mine waste) and as the things that boys often do, it went from adventure to misadventure when they lost control of the tire. the chat dump was 200 feet high, and picking up speed as it went the tire rolled through the backdoor of a shotgun house and out the front door. and a good time was had by all.
hahaha boys will be boys! Thanks for sharing!
I like snippets about everyday local history always very interesting.
очень смешно
Awesome!!!!!! This the same views like in any other developed country in the world, but better and cleaner than most low places in Europe or America. Clean and nice, now compare to the worst places in USA ?? Kensington??? . Or any other places in Europe or scanfinavia like Helsingborg in Sweden , where I live t, dirty city, here you have to avoid dog shit . Every 2 meters. People don’t understand? A big country have everything, but in any level Russia is better, from the luxury skyscrapers of Moscow to the farmers houses around, the poorer small cities in the country
Hi Daniel. I'm glad you liked the video and that you like Russia. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
собачьего 💩 на улицах во дворах тоже полно😣. Весной, когда снег тает- особенного. Мусор всякий из под снега появляется, но в апреле, в городе и во дворах домов начинаются уборки. Мы называем это "субботник" и становится чисто. Очень уже хочется тепла и лета☀
Ну, Вы нас не перехваливайте, нам есть куда ещё стремиться в плане чистоты и благоустройства, но жизнь действительно меняется в лучшую сторону.
Виды России очень меняются в зависимости от времени года, сейчас с началом весны будет очень грязно, потом грязь уберут, трава взойдёт и летняя Россия тоже будет выглядеть прекрасно.
Ваш город посмотрел на панорамах google - он мне показался достаточно уютным.
28:28 It's not a bucket. Baba Yaga flies around in a mortar, rowing in the air with the pestle (in fact I was shocked to see her carrying a broomstick instead).
It's actually the first time I ever saw her in a mortar! I always saw her with the broom.

Glad you enjoyed it!
The dragons in the garden made me laugh. If you put those in your garden in the UK, some council bureaucrat would be threatening you with everything imaginable within hours. Yeah. Democracy eh?
These were in the grounds of a roadside cafe!
The less populated the area, the less anyone gives a shit. In this village, as you can see, the amount of shit given is negative. But the rule of thumb is that if it's your own house, you can welcome people to fuck right off (practically, but not necessarily legally; it may or may not bite you in the ass if you want to sell it). However, if you install a door in a non-approved place in a block of flats, firemen will come and make you destroy it.
Wow, Sam. Something inique. Never saw 3-level pannel buildings with 1-level jumpers. Thank You! )))
I was surprised by the small house with the A-Frame roofs.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I think that was a local project for that territory. A kind of of privileged houses to invite good-skilled workers, as that guy said.
I would like to visit Russia but in the summer time i can't stand cold weather we don't have the best of weather in the uk either but its not as cold as Russia,
Thanks for sharing 👍
You should definitely come and visit! If you stay for long enough then the cold no longer feels cold.
Летом в России тепло, а в некоторых местах жарко
Приезжайте в Россию летом. На большей части России летом очень тёплая погода, в некоторых местах даже слишком жаркая, в том числе и в Сибири. Но, бывает и холодное лето, с дождями. Заранее не угадаешь.
In Krasnodar (this is the south of Russia ) the daytime temperature is +15 degrees Celsius , dandelions, phlox, primroses, lilies of the valley , violets, hellebores are in bloom . We have a very mild climate. And in summer it is +40 , very hot and humid . Snow falls in winter and melts quickly , although it is sometimes cold. Russia has different climatic zones and 12 time zones. So do not be afraid of the cold, come to the Krasnodar Territory in winter. I recommend Sochi to visit, an evergreen city on the Black Sea coast.
minus 30 in Canada is not as bad as minus 9 UK. moisture in the wind they say. I have lived in UK winters and could not understand how it was colder than ontario
Vlog is great! But let’s appreciate for a second those fluffy clouds! Beautiful.😍
The channel is moving along nicely Sam. Lots of adverts and it was 'promoted' by CZcams in that this episode appeared in my 'home' page feed or whatever on CZcams it is called. So well done!! Nice to see a Lada from Blackburn - my home town - in the Suzdal area. It has made a long journey from the Atlantic coast of Europe - you can see the Ribble Estuary and the Irish Sea from high ground around Blackburn - - to the other side of Europe; East of Moscow. Marvellous road trip the guy must have done. Something I wouldn't mind doing myself.
Excelent Video again Sam thanks (watched it during my meal, wich is so spicey i havent even finished it yet) ATB!
Glad you enjoyed it! The meal and the video! I love spicy food too.
That's great to hear the truth and see it all for ourselves !!! Thank you Sam!

Fascinating video!!!!
I really love this kind of lets-see-what-we-find-on-the-road trips.
As a guy from South America I had no idea about northern winters until I went to college in the US. I used to ride a bicycle in summer and fall, but when winter arrived, I could no longer use the bicycle, and just left it outside. Obviosly it rotted and becane crap.
So, in this video I looked in horror at those cars buried in the snow. Do people just abandon them? Why not putting them inside garages during the winter? Will those cars be somewhat usable when the snow melts?
I'm guessing the cars are no longer working and they have been in the same place for years! Or maybe they just don't like to drive them in winter. The snow is dry and it becomes more like an igloo.
The person may not have a garage; it may not be their only car; it may or may not rot depending on the climate; russian cars are a pain regardless of whether it's running or not, you'll be under it in any case, but it's not hard to get them back running.
My second car is currently buried in snow, because i toasted the engine last summer. Ask me in a couple of months.
Не у всех есть гаражи, у некоторых, может быть гараж на 1 машину, а есть еще одна машина, которую некуда ставить.
In the USA , such houses cost millions of dollars .
Thank you very much Sam for another nice and informative video. It was really interesting to see this former Soviet collective farm and its surroundings. Excellent video and take care❤.
I had one of the brick shaped ladas 20 years ago 1 year old steering felt like it was in cement but what a solid reliable car 🚗 👏 block from Russia bought it from me for good money as apparently thay stopped manufactureing them in Russia and they came to UK to buy them back😅😮
I knew people who shipped them back to Russia! Was funny to see the Blackburn motors sticker in the rear windscreen
@SamsRussianAdventures yes ha ha that's what reminded me
27:48
A mermaid and a cat, an oak tree with a golden chain - this is from Pushkin’s fairy tale. This is actually a poem that children learn in school.
I used to go from Ivanovo to Suzdal about once every two months....ancient town, the monestary there was founded 1024. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! It's been a long time since i lived in Ivanovo 1979-1981
I really enjoyed the tour Sam thank you.

You mentioned the Volga car...back in the 70's they sold them in Belgium with either Landrover or Perkins Diesel Engines...one to tell your Russian friends. 15 years ago a German was still importing Volgas new into Germany, had quite a following, also the UAZ Buhanka has a western following.
What an excellent video. Thanks!
Before I move there I would like to visit. Maybe this year or next.
Thats brilliant!
You can't just move to Russia. lol
Zucker Carlsberg just visited.
Great video, Sam! Lovely to see the Russian villages, so peaceful and I like that feeling like they are stuck in time.
Anyway, that thing hanging that you were asking what it was... it was like a string of some electrical "boxes". It's where you connect the electricity wires to change direction or connect with other wires. I have them in my Soviet era house too, maybe it's more likely to see them in the countryside then in the city nowadays 😊
Thanks! 😃 they looked like something completely foreign to me! I agree about being stuck in time. Nothing new there for 30 years.

Old style Soviet electrical distribution boxes for wiring inside walls. There were so many of them, that many russian children used them as toys for keeping something inside some 20-30 years ago.
Cool
An epic old town a lot of snow, in spring maybe more pretty with green gardens. Town houses are in soviet style. I love the old houses and ancient buildings. Thanks for sharing your walk through the snow.!😉
Beautiful skyline with clouds.
Thank you for showing different areas and buildings.
Those old strings of whatever that rattle may have at one point in time been an old burglary system that would make sound when someone breached that area. Trip wire warning system.
Very cool the gent let you tour his property. Very nice shotgun. Good for home defense.
The tire on the tree could be a habitat for birds or squirrels or someone's basketball hoop.
The barbecue attractions were interesting.
That old post office is unique and old and beautiful in its own ways. But heating it is probably a nightmare.
I only went once, St Petersburg in November 2016 and was spellbound by its beauty. I hope I can return one day so I can take in more magical city’s. The Russians have so much to be proud of. Putin would certainly get my vote, we can only dream of a leader like him it Britain! Be lucky Sam. Great content.

3:50 She travelled a long way! 😄
Not seen snow in over 40 years, and like it that way.
Nothing better then a 40C summer’s afternoon thunderstorm.
Cool roadside attractions. Love the dragon and UFO. We still have a few of the old ones along what used to be Route 66 --- I have a small town near me that has giant hand built objects like pencils and swings. It's known for this -- they even have the largest balsa wood model glider.
What an epic turn that video took when you spotted that dragon. You have got to go back there in summer. Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes! It was incredible! I liked the UFO best though!
That was very interesting place, the road stop castle style was absolute badass. It is nice see the same kind of style of dragon as we have here, guess is common in slavic mythology, fairy tales to have one with three heads.
Many thanks for the next great video from the country side - just real life. The old post office was probably teleported from XIX century - incredible building. Greetings!
Residents in rural areas look very unfriendly. But they are actually very sociable and kind. It's so unusual.
especially "friendly" are so called "americans" each of whom is under drugs and keeps a pistol in their pockets ...as friendly* is the police there
I also love the old wooden houses with all the traditional decorations on the outside of the houses.
I totally agree! There are romantic!

Awesome video Sam. Beautiful buildings, scenery, skies, video and location and houses. Really really well made upload.
3:50 I bought a new car in Blackburn, Lancashire England the day Michael Jackson died. It was a sunny Thursday. I drove back up home, M6, M74, at quite a bracing speed, back to Glasgow to the house.
I watched BBC Question Time at 10,30pm their ‘hour of solving all problems’, then David Dimbleby said at the end that “the entertainer Michael Jackson has died”.
And the entire audience, and everyone at home completely forgot everything, every subject and discussion, that was spoken about in the programme. Nuts.
___
14:05 Sam those are electricity junction boxes. Cables joined together - then to a single source. A ‘junction box’.
I like those square Lada cars, very roomy, (based on the Fiat 124) - that white one was minted. You never see those on Britain’s roads, but they used to be 4, 5, 6 grand new. Now some car parts cost that.
The private garage guy was very interesting, knew the area’s history and is skill at work, engineering and repairing.
In Polish, ‘smok’ is ‘dragon’ but it can also mean ‘smoke’.
Such quiet areas, that is extremely appealing.
7 foot snow drifts at the roadside, provincial awesomeness.
Excellent video Sam, great journey. Well made and well paced. Such a fine wee group of neighbourhoods and very interesting people.
At this point you should probably do a video on how you've kept that car on the road... what's the MOT like in Russia? 😉
It's similar to in the UK but you can get around it!
Since quite recently, MOT is only mandatory for commercial vehicles, and for private vehicles only when changing ownership. For years and years it had been very corrupt, you'd just get your insurance agent to sort it out for you, or pay someone with an MOT license a very small fee. It is still corrupt now though.
Parts for relatively popular cars are not that difficult to come by, but the prices have shot up.
I have an old and a relatively rare car these days, and some things are a proper pain in the ass to get, you have to really set up schemes involving neighbouring countries, other things are not. I've heard that Mercedes are a particular bitch to own these days, but everything is doable in the end. Just takes a lot of time.
@@zloychechen5150 That is interesting. What's the deal with everyone in Russia having a dashcam? At least it seems that way. Is it required by insurers?
@@seniorslaphead8336 i can't tell you whether it gives you a discount (i think not), but the legislation regarding accidents is used in a way that you can turn from being in the right to being in the wrong in no time. For example, someone changed lanes in front of you and went hard on the brakes immediately. If you don't have any footage of it, you're in the wrong, because in any rear-ending the fault is on the one who's behind by default. Cop encounters is another thing that was more prevalent a few years back, but, to this day, you never now.
Not nearly everyone has them though. I'm convinced that it's just that they caught on a lot sooner here than elsewhere.
@Zloychechen - Well done with the dashboard cameras. Sensible.
I saw a meteor slam into Earth from one. Count 5 or 10 seconds later and all the building windows shattered in with the shockwave.
Unbelievable if it was not recorded on multiple cameras, vehicle and fixed.
The horseshoe should have been the other way up. If the ends point down all the luck runs out.

@@SamsRussianAdventuresTry clickbait. Pagan traditions throughout all Russia?👻 And in the preview there is a smoking cross that served as a frame basis for a scarecrow.
14:10 Это советские распаечные коробки (для распределения электропроводки), а для чего из них гирлянду сделали - у меня нет идей. Возможно, у этого не было цели.
22:40 Это баскетбольное кольцо! Кажется, там не было дна.
Вау не ожидал что будет баскетбольные кольца!!!!!
The houses & settlement looked very interesting and amazing. But at the same time it was sad 😢 to see how dead the place had become after the factory 🏭 & farm had closed.
You definitely need to go back during summer!
"I'm a Russian man, I go to Banya" and seeing you without a shirt reminded me of a thing we used to say in Germany. "Ich habe drei Haare auf der Brust, ich bin ein Bär" 🤣
translation: I've got three hair on my chest, I'm a bear
and bear's got nothing to do with the Urban Dictionary meaning 😆but the literal meaning
Haha 😛 I’m trying to become a different Russian stereotype after visiting the propaganda machine at the end of my videos! I’m running out of characters!
A highly interesting video. I liked the children's amusement park, the conversation with the man, and the hero statue. I noticed that the phrase "That is sick" is positive, not negative as here in the US.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, in the UK, sick is slang for good. Like bad in the US!
