    Majority of those people are Russian speaking, but not actually from Russia. A lot from pre and post soviet countries. Majority are from Ukraine. They even used to call it little Odessa because it's near the Ocean and full of Ukrainians. Also majority are Jews. Almost all ethnic Russians are orthodox christians, and they're very rare in Brighton.

      Admiral Ackbar Yeah, Odessa mainly speaks Russian (78%) despite the fact that majority of Odessa are Ukrainians (62%). A sort of cultural paradox. But im curious what is actual percentage of Russian born people in Brighton beach

      That's right. I used to live in the area. Many of them are from, as you stated, former-USSR. Jews are majority and I have noticed many Kazakhs as well. I like the area especially Sheepheads Bay area. Like most immigrants, they keep it to themselves and pretty nice people. I tried to flirt with some girls and had a little hard time since they don't speak English very well, but they were never rude. I wonder where are those actual Russians Orthodox Christians live in NYC? I am just curious. I miss that area. For some reason, I have a huge interest in Slavs and Balkans history. Russia and her people had a long history and contributed art, literature, science and many others. I think Russiya is coming back.

    Hello. This seems like a great place to stroll around. Like it is a small village in the middle of a big city. Looks so cozy, people seem so relaxed and simple. As if time stood still and you are back in the days when everybody got along and there was no drug abuse or violence or any other obscenities. Just a clean environment, good people and then of course , right next to the beach. If I could , I'd be there right now! Would have a good time just overhearing people speak Russian, glimpsing into those fur- stores whilst hearing that beautiful music and eating typical dishes. Thanks so much for sharing such a nice video. Spasiba ! 😄👍🍀❤️🌷 Congratulations from Belgium 🇧🇪

    Interesting place to visit once in a blue moon. My observations: an appreciable portion of people who live in Brighton Beach are retirees living in subsidized housing; very difficult to own a car there due to parking limitations - not uncommon to park blocks and blocks away; extremely cold during winter months due to the winds blowing off the ocean; everyone there is dressed to the nines all the time so they won't be gossiped on; densely populated area offers no privacy; many shady people there

      Leave these decrepit Ukrainian Jews themselves. Let them live in this lousy place under the railway

    I have a Russian background, so I will feel just like in Russia once I get to the streets of "little moscow"

    Походу многие здесь даже из своего воображаемого мира (гипермаркеты, хорошие дороги) никогда не выбирались, не говоря уже о Кызыле или там Брайтоне

    Вот именно, что даже в шахтерских городках Кузбасса, уже давно нет такого колхоза, как у вас на Брайтоне. Чувак, вы там плотно в 80-х 20 века, засели, выбирайтесь давайте.)

    I always wanted to live in Brighton Beach. I'm sure it is expensive.

      You really don't want to. Unless you have really good connections with the people, you will either be an outcast or treated like trash. Hell even most Russian-speaking people who live in that neighborhood are treated horribly. Visiting Brighton Beach is fine. Living there is another story.
