  • We will go from the very east to the very west of Russia and then to its capital, to see how people live in different parts of Russia. Let's make a research : what are the average salaries, how much people spend per month on food, renting an apartment, and other costs in Kamchatka, Kaliningrad and Moscow!

    As an American who lives in a rural area, I find your videos fascinating. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and we were taught that Russians were our mortal enemies who would rain down nuclear bombs at will. Now as a 50 something grandma, I am finding that your people are very much like our people in many ways. We all want to live a comfortable life. :). Your country is amazingly beautiful, I would love to visit one day when there is peace. Thank you for sharing

      Yeah, that would be great to move all over the world and visit and stay for a week. Even Russians coming and staying on a swap a home for two weeks or you pick the how long time to stay in USA. I love villages out in their country. I love the Kamchata in the east. Way more country, less people & roads & businesses. That's is called "Industry" in America. We don't live in the area of commerce. We live in residential areas for homes, apartments, no business families only for living not working. Except when you work from your home. Merry Christmas everyone especially in the Ukraine. I love all your beautiful outfits for the Santa Claus' he always looks so beautiful/handsome with all the hand sown beating on the hats especially.

We can't compare & have no idea, Not a clue. Also all this talk of "Sanctions" ? What the hell are those? If it's something of Russia attacking people not attacking them? Then stop attacking or stealing or raping or whatever it is your country leaders are doing to harm innocent people with their families sitting in their homes doing TV before bedtime & work with school for kids tomorrow, you shouldn't just arbitarily blow them up in their homes. That's not never what a voted in gov't. would do to it's people that put them in power in the first place. BEHAVE & leave them alone thru the Holy Days Holidays get it.

During my short visit to Russia, I got acquainted with the vast richness of Russian culture and hospitality. I was mesmerized to see the breathtaking architecture of Saint Petersburg. I fall deeply in love with the Gulf of Finland and Sosnovy Bor. The calmness of this little town hypnotized me, In Moscow, I was really fascinated by the greatness of Russian achievements. I know that it's not possible to experience Russia on a tightly scheduled tour and what I have experienced was a tiny fragment of what Russia truly is.

      @@user-ki3my8vx9j Yeah well actually we cannot entirely blame the governments. If a government it's rich, there are only two things that it can improve. One, the public infrastructure and services. And two, the salary of those who work in those areas, the public employees. Usually, these 2 things improve insignificantly simply because there is no magical jump in terms of economic growth of a country annually. So, for common people who work for the government, you can't expect a dream salary.
      As for the rest, that is the private area, as in "businesses" per your comments, well sadly, we can't blame them either. This is the only sector where you can improve your earning, but you have to be very hardworking or talented, or both. And as a business, of course it will try to squeeze you to the last drop to fill it pocket because... business.
      Russia is a developed country, but its GDP is not too impressive (as expected). Beside, the country is too large for its population. There are not many high population areas for the economy to take advantage of. Many even live in rural or remote parts of the country that are actually poor.
      Anyway, all I want to say it, I know that there are different parts of Russia with different living standards, I just did't expect to see many parts that are so familiar to the place where I live.

    HI Eli, from Las Vegas!!
    I found your channel about 2 weeks ago because I was looking for up-close views of modern Moscow, like a city walk/tour style. My ancestors on my mother's side of the family are from Russia-I do not know which part. I think my grandmother's generation was the first to speak English. My mom told me that her grandparents only ever spoke Russian. Myself, I grew up near DC during the Cold War years and I remember the USSR's dissolution in 1991. I was in high school. But, I remember being even young and very curious about why we were taught that all Russians were "bad" in our media. You can imagine it was quite vexing to me since I knew WE weren't bad and that was our heritage as well. I always had the sense that Russians were "real" people, with all the same worries, love for their families, celebrating holidays, etc, just like American people. So, this is all to say that I have always been fascinated about your country and your culture. Since finding your channel, I have watched almost all of your videos except for 2 so far. Thank you SO MUCH for putting in all the work to do these. You do an excellent job and they're so interesting and really give an insight to the people and traditions of your country. One day I hope to get to visit, I don't know if that will happen, but I hope so. In the meantime, I really just can't get enough of your channel!!

But never thought, someday I would see them in real (now at least I saw them on CZcams).

Also people are so humble and almost suffering like everyone else here in India.

Paradoxically, the person seems friendly and kind at first, but then you realize what they really think when you ask them some questions.

      How did you get these statistics? I am living in Toronto (considerably the 2nd most expensive town in Canada after Vancouver), making below the median average wage of 18.50/hr. That makes me 2300 a month after tax. Paying 1500 a month for a bachelor unit all inclusive. Spending an average of 600 on food and certain necessary utilities and appliances. That still leaves me with 200 bucks for entertainment purposes. And this is a way below median wage lifestyle. Imagine if you had a job that pays you 25/hr.
      Yes life is more expensive than before. So does everywhere else. We are living in an inflating so called “post-war” circumstances and yet i am still able to survive on my own in Canada. What if I had a partner?
      From what I hear from these beautiful people in this video, life in Russia is still rather challenging.
      Yes, healthcare is not free here anymore as it used to be. But north america has the best most well equipped medical technologies and officers. I would rather argue that China probably has better healthcare because of their mentality and culture. And yes most healthcare services are free in Russia (So is in Canada still). However, healthcare is totally free in Norway too, and by statistics Norway is on of the healthiest country in the world. How is it that in an 2nd world country as Norway that has a fusional system of capitalism and socialism works and lives better than a world leading power country as Russia? Its not because of the sanctions. It is because of the countries systematic infrastructure of investing in government secret services over social norms. Does it sound like another power leading country? Yes it does, the USA!

    Thanks for the interesting video! Since we started our studies, a good friend and me planned to do a hitchhiking trip after finishing our studies through the former soviet territory including Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and heading toward Russia. I always wanted to experience the life in the countries that hadn´t been influenced by capitalism for so long. Unfortunately 2022 made it hard to follow this dream for "some reasons" so let´s hope the governments will conclude peace even though it will be a hard process. But beside our governments who may have tensions we are just human beings who are friendly in most of the cases regardless of whether we are from Russia, the US, Ukraine or Germany. So let´s pray for better days!

      Maybe but I'd consider Moscow to have one of the strongest middle classes of any city I've see after living in Europe since 2009 and traveling the world extensively. Most average Russians have life in decent apartments, and have some money for new clothes, going out to dinners and entertainment. Most middle-class Russians manage to take at least 1 or 2 trips abroad every year. Even the very best restaurants in the city are accessible to people leaving on an average salary if they manage their money well but that's certainly not the case in lace like NYC and LA or London.

Housing and Utilities are very expensive, but Alaskans make up for it by catching their dinner instead of buying it. Most people eat a lot of fish and game, berries (Fresh or Preserved). There's not much vegetable, but cabbage and potatoes grow pretty well there. The big goal in the fall is to get a moose, because that will feed a couple of families for most of the winter.

    I was in Kamtchatka for a nature trip for three. It was my most beautiful trip in my life. So I got a bit sentimental for a moment…

    I love how thought provoking this video is. The comments section provides such strong additional perspectives. Most of which support the interviews. With a few contrarian viewpoints. It will be fun to come back to the comments in a few days to see additional thoughts people from different parts of Russia & different parts of the world have to say. Thank you, Eli!

      Here's one extra thought. It is not for me to tell, how other people should live their life or what they like or dislike, but to help younger Russian audience to better understand (understanding is NOT the same as approval) the Western reaction to one very special operation, I say that in the West people do get judged according to what they tolerate. For example, if someone is NOT a pedophile itself/himself/herself, but the person tolerates pedophilia, the molesting of children, then in the West that person will get judged by others despite the fact that the person being judged does NOT molest children itself. With that context in mind, please draw Your own conclusion, how the attitude of some Russians looks from Western perspective and what that kind of judgement means in the longer term, like in years 2022 till 2080. I am NOT an Ukrainian. I am an Estonian, living in Estonia, which is part of the West. Thank You for reading my comment.

      @fleshnbone187 I think by their own standards the person above is a vicious murderer condoning mass murder of innocent people, destruction of their homes and livelihood, mass slander... the worst kind of person really. I would also assume the person above approves the crimes/mass murder and starvation of people in Yemen, since the US/West supports Saudi Arabia. Hell, I guess by their own standards this poor Estonian guy/girl should already be executed several times over. LOL. Interesting how they can live with themselves and be so righteous at the same time.
