    Excellent job, Sam. As usual.
    A few observations, if you don't mind:
    1. We watch your channel because of you and your genuine approach to everyday life in Vladimir. Your videos don't have to be slick or perfect. That's part of the charm.
    2. The Russian culture is an ancient culture. It has survived whatever has come its way. Folk cultures find a way to survive. Pop culture is always changing and is far more vulnerable to the strong winds of geopolitical, natural, and economic forces.
    3. This was a very interesting video. Small and inconspicuous shops full of products that locals enjoy.
    4. Maybe you could focus a few videos on local cuisine -- pelmeni or dried fish -- and go and find different places that serve it and/or even a Babushka that can explain to foreigners how to make it?
    5. Get those t-shirts made -- Sam's Russian Adventures with the seal of Vladimir on it. Maybe one with "Babushka Life" on it. All with how to find you on different platforms on them.
    6. There seem to be lots of churches around. Exploring them is always nice. Lots of history to explore in these buildings.
    7. When the snow melts and warms up, maybe a few videos on local nature, if it makes logistical sense.
    8. Never give up. Ever. You never know what these struggles are preparing you for down the road. You might become a documentarian. Remember, most of the world is filled with average, everyday people who enjoy seeing how other average, everyday people live. No matter the culture or the country. We're inundated with how the rich live and it's a fake, cold life being sold as a great life. There's nothing great about it. In the end, we all individually leave here the same -- in a cold wooden, plastic, aluminum, or steel box. Then we face God for judgment. How many likes on social media or how much money we had will mean nothing.

    Your home town looks beautiful. It reminds me of the little farming towns surrounding Cape Town a little more inland like Ceres Valley and Paarl and Stellenbosch here in South Africa. Dramatic landscapes featuring mountains and valleys and tall forest trees growing thick in the cloudy distance, though I'm sure it gets far colder there than I can imagine. You are very lucky I think. Those quaint little shops run by apparently good-natured and amicable people. It all seems quite pacific, wholesome and down-to-earth. I also think it inspiring the way your neighbors regard the absence of international brands that quite frankly I couldn't care less for either. "We can't get that, so we sell the Russian alternative and it's just fine. The same, even. But shame, the pensioners seem to struggle a little more." I do like your channel.

      The outside temperature would dispel any associations with Cape Town very quickly. ;)
      I spent two years in Northern Natal and traveled all around the country and it was partly the wonderful hot weather than made me move to similar climes here in the US. Lived too long in Canada, always being cold. I don't know what it's now but I was stunned by how friendly the people were in South Africa. Not at all a place like I had expected from reading western press about the country - but is that not almost always the case?

I don't doubt you for a second, although I'm also sure I have no idea what living in places where such temperatures are the norm must do to a person after a while. It does look beautiful there. Maybe it's that savage sort of beauty.
      South Africans are indeed generally friendly people. Our issues are much like those of many others around the globe, ith perhaps an emphasis on frustrating levels of past and proven government corruption and the close proximity of concentrations of wealth and poverty. It can be a hopeful place, too. I've always had a hunch that at some point, this country's gonna facilitate the achievement of great, great things the effects of which will ripple across the globe. I just don't know when. May not even be in my lifetime. But the potential is here, among the people, waiting to be teased out by some beautiful sight, event, both. What happened here in the '90s was special. Got to see that happen. We'll see.

      @@markwarrensprawson Well said. I also have had the thought that South Africa has this great potential. It is such a rich land and my father used to marvel and say "you can put a dead stick in the ground here, and it will grow". I lived many years in southern and then central Ontario, in British Columbia in the Okanagen Valley and near the Arctic Circle in the North West Territories. It was a great pleasure to move to North Carolina. Just a few days ago it was T-shirt weather for three days, though now it's in the high 50's F. It's an hour and a half to the beach and an hour and a half to the mountains, from the central Piedmont region where we live. Oddly enough the part I enjoy most now is the prevalence of sunny days.

However, I remember driving from England and taking a beautiful country road through central Wales that finally ended at Aberystwyth and along the route it very much reminded me of places I saw in South Africa in 1976, except of course for the sunshine!

But as you can see, everything is in perfect order with food and other necessary goods even in the smallest and perhaps three times unnecessary villages. There are thousands of unnecessary villages in Russia that have long since become obsolete, and it is not so easy to give them a second life, to come up with a new need for their existence. In the states, the existence of such settlements would simply not be possible. In America, no one would repair and maintain power lines or water supplies for them, or supply them with food and essential goods. But Russia lives differently.

В сельских магазинах, народа конечно меньше и торговать не свежим мясом не будут. Так как магазины не большие, то и на складах места для хранения нет, а это означает, что просроченных товаров нет.

Many village shops in UK closed owing to increase in car ownership, the home freezer and bulk buying power of large supermarkets meaning prices uncompetitve.

Please tell your story, the differences between your place in England and in Russia, why are you here, why is not Moscow, tell about your friends there and here. I want to see your personal story as well, your thoughts, it’s so important for getting closer with bloggers. Good luck with your channel 🎉

    That looks like an Indian owned shop down the road from me, just a bit. It has a touch of everything you might need if you can't get into a larger town. I live in Florida. That shop also reminds me of a 'general store' I used to visit in N. Florida.

    The shop opposite the church around 18:12 said ‘Otkpbito’ above the door. I know _’Otkrivenya’_ means ‘Revelation’. Does it mean ‘reveal’, or ‘open’.? Working it out empirically. Well done Sam. - a slew of ads, and romping past 20,000 views in under a day

    Hi Sam, great video. You were at the top of my recommendations! I am not an expert on videos, but another idea is maybe there are small automotive/motorcycle shops you can check out. I would have loved it if you were regularly coming into my shop to see what I was working on. Not talking about a big busy shop like where you bring your vehicle. If you bring alcohol, how could they not like you. Just an idea. I like watching your videos so don't stop. Pet Ksusha for me 😺

    Local shops often carry more local products, because farmers and other producers can get a foot in the door.

    I live in Las Vegas & we have ONE Russian store (actually it’s in Henderson, Nevada) & it looks just like the store you’re in.
    To answer your question about Russians coming into an American grocery store, most Russians run away.
    I was staying in San Diego & heard a Russian couple talking & I said “hello” in Russian & they both looked at me like I was KGB.
    I’m happy to know my Russian could still get me arrested & released.

    Great video! I love seeing the small out of the way shops. I am in the US mid west. When I was a kid we had several small shops what we called mom and pop grocery stores. Each one was unique in it's own way. Now they are all gone. It's all big box stores now. I have been following Russell for awhile now. He does good work too. I just saw his Russian swimming club one. I don't see how Russians get into the water when it's like zero degrees outside. Interesting though.
