Life in rural Russia six months after sanctions | With Lars

- Let's see if the unprecedented Western sanction against Russia had any economic impact on the lives of everyday Russians in the countryside! Check out this video I made together with Lars from @SurvivalRussia. Lars is a Dane who moved to Russia over a decade ago and settled in a small village in one of Russia’s poorest regions. He knows this country better than many people.

When I arrived in a Russian village in the Arkhangelsk region, I realized that if there was an apocalypse in big cities from the disconnection of electricity, then these guys (residents) would always survive! They have their own cattle, their own poultry, eggs, milk, potatoes, and so on!
Interestingly enough, that exact thought came across my mind when I was visiting this village where Lars lives. It certainly lacks city comforts and it’s very unlikely I would want to move to the countryside anytime soon, but their survival skills are something else
Russia is big enough and widespread in so many ways that it can be treated as an independent country.
It can be expected to make its own alliances. Doing that by force however, is not an option while it is so close to the European Union.
@@myparceltape1169 EU is caput.
Какие прекрасные слова! Труд человека, нас делает людьми! Пусть Вас бережёт Всевышний!
Зачем писать по английски? Если канал российский. Просто парень косит под американца.
It's a great honour to live with such strong and positive people in one country, i do! The best is yet to come
Thank you, comrade. Russia will prevail!
"Sanctions are a lame excuse for those who don't want to work" absolutely marvelous statement. Hard times create strong people.
Смотря подобные репортажи я чувствую неописуемую гордость и воодушевление. Не смотря на все трудности и тяготы, люди живущие в самой прекрасной стране всегда найдут выход.
😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂, at the end construction business owner gave very nice comment. “Putin promised to drop the prices and he delivered “😂😂😂
Good job Real Reporter, Lars and the guys are "super awesome" haha. Greetings from Portugal.
Very nice documetary i knew the people of Russia are hard working and always patriotic no matter what! Slavic Brothers!The Balkan is with you!
Well done Kostya. It's weird watching a video with me in it, which I have not edited myself. Great job to all involved.
Thank you, Lars! Really glad you liked it. It was pleasure filming you and your friends 👍
I followed you Lars as you asked.
You LIED to us Lars, your Mother In Law is NOT a Dragon, she actually looks like a very nice LADY. 😉
great video Lar's.... it was Awesome 😆 keep the videos coming. i also subscribed to Zhenya's channel 👍
You looked so rugged.. But still the ninjas and your beautiful wife got a bit more exposure.. We always love to see them now and then.. You are a great inspiration to me, at 70 I view the world as going to hell in a hand basket.. But you show me that there are still men and women all over this world that can still do what is right and be decent hard working folk survive and smile.. thanks brother..
If this is Russias poor comunity then it still looks much better than some of the poorer comunities in the U.S.
U can move to Russia
looking a lot better than detroit lol
No any homeless tents.
Can confirm this is much nicer than a lot of places I’ve seen in Alabama
Russia has not suffered much. Now the pipelines sabotage this will definitely hurt them and all of Europe.
very beautiful area and people, reminds me of rural Kentucky near where i live now. Be interested to see another video if possible for middle of a large city
Will do! Thanks for the feedback
In fact, I’m working on the second video from the same village that I shot six months later. Stay tuned for this one 👍
As Russian, I am shocked by the quality of the roads in this area and generally all over the country. Really, it was absolutely unimaginable before holy sanctions time.
I swear the environment reminds me of West Virginia or Kentucky or maybe Oklahoma 🤔 very beautiful crazy how similar Russia and America can be. The people as well just ordinary country people loving the country life. Shout out to all you Country boys out there no matter what country ☺️ much love from Florida lol
Totally agree! Strangely enough, the two countries are much alike. And yet we’ve come to this. Sad
P.S. Love Florida! Spent a summer in Panama City beach back in 2008, had a lot of fun
@@RealReporter Florida is nice but I do miss the 4 seasons up north especially during autumn season and Christmas season. Pumpkin spice weather some say. Something about it just feels at home sort of speak. And then Snow and eggnog lol
You're so right. Ordinary people have nothing to share. All conflicts are caused by so called "elites", who play their games.
You should visit Rota, Spain. It literally mirrors old Florida.
The blood is the same color in our veins brother. We just got to stop hating and start knowing each other. You'll be amazed how much you have in common with the plain Muslim, a communists, and others.
Well documented, rural people are like all people in the country regions around the world, they are very resilient and innovative.
This is true
That's what I'm supposed to be doing
Rural areas contribute vet little to innovation
If this was America people would be rioting…whinging and whining…and some weirdo probably even justify doing another school mass shooting…we do it even if gasoline prices go up 10cents a gallon…or our cell phone service goes out for a couple of hours…gotta hand it to the Russian people…they just smile and adapt and get on with it…God Bless
I'd add to that, most people in Russia are like people in the rest of the world, not only the outskirts xD We have our geniouses and businessmen, and we got our fools and crying babies.
Seeing Lars in a different context is a treat. The feel of this video is very different from what I get when i watch his channel
First time viewer of this channel and life of ordinary people on the other side. I can't say it's truly objective, how can it be? I can say it's thought provoking, reflective and eye opening for me. Thanks for sharing and god bless
100 years of propaganda doesn't change your mind overnight.
@@billiosi7448 You've in a closed system since 1917, not I. You needed to go to Moscow to get a permit to travel abroad, not I. You're the one with only access to government propaganda broadcast, not I. Yet, you have the audacity to say I live in a totalitarian regime!?
Slava Russia Forever, from Canadian friends!🥰🥰🥰
Excellent to see some daily life and good people just trying to get by.
Great video with lot of valuable and REAL infos!
Thanks to all people in this video!
Thank you for sharing!
Простите, а где вы взяли материал о нехватке товаров в сетевых магазинах после 24.02? Я такое наблюдал только в пандемию, и ограничения были только в пандмийный год, а после 24.02 я даже ограничений не помню.
Dude you need more subs this is the best REAL report I’ve ever seen.
This is exactly the sort of report I've been hoping for. My neighbors are foresters and small farmers, backyard mechanics, jack-of-all-trades. Money is always tight but their "make do" attitude usually carries the day. Our weather isn't as brutal but I see so many similarities. It would be great if you could do more reports like this, in even more depth. I get the impression that newcomers aren't that welcome -- around here, people tend to be a bit reserved but friendly to strangers. Then again, NW Washington has that reputation. Great job!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video, stay tuned for more 👍
I am thinking the same thing about rural Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont -- there are a lot of similarities.
Obviously, one huge difference is the opportunity to openly protest the war or complain about the lack of opportunity or things like decent health care.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if the powers-that-be in Russia actually built a democracy in the 90's instead of looting the the carcass of the state and letting the Putin mafia take over.
Would it be like a western European democracy, or would the rural poor feel isolated and marginalized, leaving them vulnerable to a Putin-type leader, anyway, the way we in the US have failed our own rural and working class people to the point where they can be convinced that Trump is their savior?
@@johnnyrock70 Good points. Listening to the guy making hardware, and the brother farmers, I thought exactly the same thing! If they were here in rural PA, they'd likely be Trump voters, even if it didn't serve their interests. I hate Trump, but I get WHY he appealed to people who really have been left behind. Most of the family farms are owned by some corporation now.
@@ChrisGurin Why do you hate Trump? I don't want to argue but I do want to understand why. ?
@@ambercrombie789 I was not going to bother replying to your question, as all too often this ends up as nothing more than endless, circular arguments: true MAGA believers are immune to evidence and reason, and life is too short to bother with such obduracy. However, since you asked in a non-confrontational way, I will respect the effort and try to limit this to less than essay length.
Trump is a liar beyond even the routine definitions applied to pathology. It does not matter even when he is confronted with multiple sources documenting his lies, he will respond with MORE lies. Multiple fact-checking sources documented more than 30,000 lies over four years. The "what-about-ism" response is usually something like "all politicians lie": true enough, but his lack of shame reveals a profound lack of respect for "HIS" people, in addition to his disregard of law.
Trump is disloyal, to "friends" (rather what he momentarily calls people who parrot whatever toxic nonsense he wants to amplify), family (he squandered millions in inheritance, and stole money from family: see Mary Trump.), and most important-to the nation he took an oath to serve and protect.
Trump is profoundly inept: as impresario of a gambling casino, where customers freely give money with NO expectation of return, HE LOST MONEY. Trump's knowledge of history, economics, foreign affairs, military affairs, so woefully deficient and defiant of correction, reveals he either has a life-long learning disability, or is simply too stupid to care. He should never have been allowed to run for any office, and we can blame his enablers and that insane cadre of voters for sustaining this toxic liar and thief. I'm done.
What's interesting to me is that rural people from Russia feel very similar to rural people in the US. I think we have much more in common with them than we do with people in our cities. Really impressed with their spirit of self reliance. Most governments tend to have crappy leadership, but it's not always a true reflection of its people. Wishing for peace in Russia/Ukraine.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin They don't value that privilege anymore. They forgot how it feels like.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin or here (the southeast US), you might get hate crimed for speaking the wrong way in tr-mp kinds of towns.
Yeah no we’re not. Those ppl are Nazi, psychos.. They hate us and they are for the war.. don’t be ignorant.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin not the only difference between us and Orcs.
@McLovin2021 Mclovin at least they don't have meth there.
Actually, the village where they live is in on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and it's a very good location for a village. It's just about 150 km from my village in Kotelnich district, where I bought a house in August) In my village I saw boar and moose footprints all the time on every street! And yes, it's a ve-ery forested land with lots of berries and mushrooms. People are self-sufficient there. Anyways, thanks for a good video)
Amazing Video bratan . Basically i am from russia and Living now in germany . Im very happy to found Your channel !! You Are giving me a Taste und feeling of russia without being there . I wish you the best
Awesome! Thank you!

P.S. I use a translator👋
Hey there! I’m glad you liked the video. I really enjoyed my time in your village, people there were very nice and hospitable. Your English is very good, keep up the good work! Молодец 👏
What discussions take place in school regarding the situation in Ukraine?
It's the KGB, open up!!
I am a nurse man living in Girona, in Spain. I love Russia because my grandfather told me how russian soldiers helped in the spain war against fascism. and I hope the best for Russia and I wish Europe realized we are brothers
@@gorallogaia Russians and Spaniards are not brothers. Russians and Ukrainians are brothers. Makes the whole war even more screwed up
Lars is absolutely great..
Love him
Uk 🇬🇧 fan..
Believe every word Lars would say..
As a Dane myself, it was so fun to see Lars on this channel! the way he looks and talks, remind me so much of other guys of his age. even his Poster reminded me of some of my fathers friends! combine it with the Russian backdrop is just somthing i couldn't imagine:D
Those farmes seem like really fine guys. I hope everything turns out for the better soon for everyone in Russia as well as in Western Europe and of course in Ukraine. It's whole thing is just such an bizzare nightmare.
with weapons they would not look like 'really fine guys' ..there are no good russians. We knew it on our experience.
Great to see two of my favorite channels getting some outside attention. Great content.
I really enjoy Lars channel his family and of course the Boss dog always supervising the making of videos and keeping everyone safe. I pray this insanity of war will end .
Simple and full of nature. I love it. One Love from Jamaica
I found it to be similar in Donegal (Ireland), people with large gardens and multiple jobs for income, cutting peat for fuel and making their own drink (poitin).
I loved this! I live on four acres in Michigan, collect mushrooms, heat with maple wood and wear mud boots most of the year. Inflation hits us, too! But, you have to laugh and carry on. I never did round bales for the horses due to moisture, but the Russian farms there are beautiful -- looked like Holstein cows -- good milkers! Tell Lars he is blessed! I'll check out Survival Russia -- I could use some tips!
This reminds me of Wolverine MI so much lol. Even the parts store and gas stations so much alike . Why have these sanctions made eggs in the US 3 dollars a doz .... GREEED
@Lars Hildebrandt you can thank Trudeau for that
@Lars Hildebrandt Charge more for your eggs then, people do understand that you have to make money to live.
Well Russia is doing pretty fine although USA sanctioned them. It was a wrong call to sanction Russia first. They should have opened and continued with talks. Rather than just shut Russia like that cuz Russia can survive anytime in fact their economy is strong.
@Lars Hildebrandt well we shall see how Russia can survive. Because many Asian countries already buying huge volumes of oil from Russia including India, china, Iran.. and now so many of Indian goods are also going into Russia bcuz I also do business as well and too many goods going into Russia now so this is opportunity for countries in Asia and like India to go in and boom the market. So I seriously believe Russian can do well and come out stronger than you think and even USA already feeling the inflation right now.
hello kosya, a good friend, I'm glad that you visited me and Lars, I will be glad to wait for a visit.
Женя, привет! Я тоже рад, отлично поснимали 🤝
my right ear enjoyed this.
It is amazing, that Lars looks so Russian))) no difference, only appearance and the accent show that he isn’t local. But manners, way of speaking are so Russian)))
In my place if you want to insult a person, you say "you look like Russian". So only in a freaking RuZZian upside down world such things could be "amazing"...
There is no ruzzian nation. That's the mentality. Only ruzzki can come to other countries, occupy them , kill millions, and had no guilty of that, because they @rulers of the world@ and their culture is above other.
@@mintofoods1179 Well, not only them. Some African (and even Asian) tribes are alright with doing that. But, yeah, that's the same level of ancient and unevolved mentality.
It's so satisfying attending an honest and unbiased report. The truth enlight and unify the human kind. Keep it up, my friend...
Thanks for saying this. I appreciate it 🤝
This guy is biased he thought russians are suffering but he got a rude shook, pathetic

Thank you very much for this insight in a rural Russian community. The feedback to the sanctions did not surprise me. Rural regions do not profite that much from economic booms but on the other hand do not suffer that much from setbacks either. Thats because they are much more self sustaining as your report pointed out quite nicely.
How sad, then, that these people who do not ask to be so beholden to the outside world, will be asked to now send their sons to a faraway war that they have no interest in participating in.
@@HughCorbyCruick Ask Biden and his dolts to stop messing around in other countries!!!
@@HughCorbyCruick Faraway war? It's being waged next door, in Ukraine. The West started the war with a 2014 coup organized by the US State Department/George Soros, then installed their puppet. The West wants to steal Ukrainian oil & gas, force regime change in Russia, then steal Russia's oil and gas.
@@HughCorbyCruick Are trying to say that rich people have interest in sending their sons to wars? Either that, or you just have a flawed logic or little understanding of how life works, or both.
@@MarkLee1 I said nothing about rich (or poor) people and I think you do not understand what I am saying.

Caused a smile, your surprise about nails, screws. There are a huge number of companies producing this product in Russia (Seversial, Forest, MP-Region, Pact-NN, Pact-Ural, etc.) Shortly before 02/24/12, many companies were selling this product for export..
Interesting insight. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for providing us with another point of view, independent reporter.
Thank you for this comment! This is really nice to hear
Hey, guys! Hope you liked the video. I had a great time shooting it together with Lars. He’s awesome!
Sorry, about the sound. It’s was already too late when I noticed this
Lars recommended you so I'm giving your channel a chance. Very good western accent btw.
Да Бог с ним со звуком. Качественный контент в 100 раз важнее! Главное что у вас получился отличный, хорошо сбалансированный репортаж!
Hey it was fine brother.. as always you find the strangest person in the taiga to hang out with.. Lars is a real man..
It's interesting how you seem to have obtained an American accent and Lars speaks English with a Danish accent.
I enjoyed your video, it just anger's me how the hell the west has a cheek to put sanctions on Russia, have they forgotten about the illegal war they've been involved in, you know so called weapons of mass destruction, bull shit wars in Afghanistan, Syria, ect you could go on. I'm from England but I don't buy into the propaganda, for me it's a war by design to increase the cost of living to pay for money lost during there ridiculous lock downs. I'm glad to here that most Russians won't turn on there own government don't sing to the tune of western politicians. They try and brainwash us to hate each other, turn everyday people into enemies and I for one will not be fooled, I have know problem with Russian people only greedy government's who in this day and age still want to rule the world, the western politicians are know different than Russian politicians, all out to line there own pockets. Us ordinary people are stronger if we stick together rather than be tricked into hating each other.

Love Lars. This is exciting insight
Italian products e.g. olive oil, were always expensive. Even in my country(Serbia), which is relatively closer to Italy, than it's to Russia( in geographical terms), is expensive(~16$). They price their crap like it's solid gold, but complain when someone else do the same...
Yeah, sounds familiar
hahahahahaha
Here in the Netherlands a 1L bottle of Italian olive oil is €5, €10 if it's a advertising brand, like Bertolli. It used to be €3 and €6..... before the war. So it has gone up, but it's still affordable if you buy the house brand

Interesting video. It seems a lot like living in a small low income town here in the US. Even the last part where Lars says "the government might be shit but it's ours". That sounded exactly like something I would hear around town if we were in their situation. People are people and the similarities show it.
Yeah I see that, but the big difference is that here in Australia if our government decides to wage war as an associate or on their own we the citizens can object and protest without being jailed or killed. And if that doesn't work we can vote them out of office.
@@mirriulahwaterdog Australia is not a factor to compare with Russia, USA is, lets compare their wars ( 10 times as many wars , many more people killed ( mostly civilians including carpet bombing, napalm, drone bombing civilian weddings, torturing raping POW, lets not forget NUKES on civlian cities after ww2 was already over,al international laws broken...) ...You can protest as much as you like, both parties do same ...Just pretending you have a choice

Too bad Putin is destroying Ukraine and Russia and Russia's global reputation.
Thank you. I really enjoyed your video.
those food prices are cheaper then in the usa right now.
People will always find ways to survive .... basic needs will always be met, especially in a country like Russia with a lot of energy reserves and natural resources. The sanctions will lower overall quality of living compared to unsanctioned countries but it wont prevent living. They will effect the rich and modern cultural centers more than rural russia which was already poor to begin with. Good video
Hopefully the Ukrainian people in their destroyed towns and cities with no gas or electricity will somehow survive the winter too
And then the recruitment began. :)
@@Mighty_Samurai yea we will see how it works out.
Certainly the poor rural areas will be the ones who absorb the real cost of this war .... death and injury.
Will they just accept it?? Take one for the motherland while Putin and the rich keep eating caviar?
Even the quality of living will increase over time as there are countries China or India who are increasing trade with Russia.
This "poor rural Russia" feeds the whole world

Thank you for educating my right ear!
I am from Russia and I will say something similar: If historically unfriendly countries want to force us to change the government, it means we have the right government😁. Of course, there are a lot of questions about internal management, but now they all go far into the background.
So how to you feel about Russia using deadly force to change other countries governments? I guessing you are ok with that as you've got "the right government".
We want you to stop thinking you own the world and can bash other people
@@ananamu2248 If you had told the Americans that, it would have been true and I would have supported it.😁
In the future, Americans will have fewer opportunities to wage wars around the world and change governments in other countries. Russia and China will step up their opposition to this expansive American policy.
Your logic is completely backwards and faulty. The exact opposite is true. If your government was a really good government, there would be no reason to want it changed. 🤷♀️
Your government just preemptively attacked and invaded a sovereign country because that country is teaching children to speak the Ukranian language. You do not see something wrong with that?
Your government has rounded up and put in jail at least 20,000 Russian citizens for protesting the war out on the sidewalks. You do not see something wrong with doing that?
Your government is putting Russian citizens in jail for 20 years for calling the "special operation" a war. TWENTY YEARS IN JAIL. You do not see something wrong with that?
My friend, if you do not see that these are problems with your government, you are blind.
Here in America, in the 1960s, the citizens held large protests out in the streets against the Vietnam "special operation." Was there any fear that our government would round up all of the protesters and make them disappear?
No! The American government is the servant of its citizens. You know what the American government did about the protests?
They stopped the war.
Furthermore, these "unfriendly countries" that you conjure up are purely in your imagination. Every country wants to be friends with Russia. 🤷♂️

The United States does not have an "expansive policy" -- but China does. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️
@@Matthew_Loutner My logic is precisely logic, and not a retelling of propaganda for unintelligent housewives, as you do. Let me remind you who imposed sanctions against the Russians and wants to change the government: these are the countries of the NATO military alliance.
Let me remind you a little more: this alliance was created against the USSR. But when the threat of war with the USSR disappeared, the alliance remained and began expanding, encircling Russia.
And let me remind you again: most wars and coups in the world occur at least with the participation of these very NATO countries led by the United States, and are often directly organized by them. China is a kitten against the background of the American death machine🤨
This is legit reporting. Thank you! I've always thought the Russian people were and are wonderful. Federal governments- not so much-- from any country including ours in the U.S. Thank you for this update on the ground.
is it federal government are killing kids in Ukraine or wonderful russian's people?
now I am calling russia's people - orks and russia - mordor
and this "reporter" did not ask wonderful people about american's people and you missed a lot of "cool" information about yourself
@@victorgasil494 Apparently, the decrepitude of the mind of your American president turned out to be pandemic and infected many. Living overseas, neither you nor most Americans have any idea what fascism is from which the USSR saved the whole world by paying twenty-six million lives of its citizens. Now America has staged a coup in Ukraine, overthrew the elected government and planted the seeds of fascism-Nazism in Ukraine. We Russians don't need it, so we will destroy fascism whenever and wherever it raises its head. You, like well-fed parrots in a cage, repeat only those words that the owner of your cage tells you. But bird flu has infected his brain and you are infected too.
How can you say russian people are wonderful, they have a history of being barbarians, under Lenin, under stalin. Or maybe you didn't read your history when under stalin, they murdered through starvation, several million Ukrainians in 1931-33. So you say they are wonderful, in destroying a country and its people, in case you haven't watched the news, that Ukraine I am referring to! As I recall, it is russia and russians that invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. They are destroying cities, villages, schools, churches, homes, hospitals, power sources. raping women, children, even men, torturing civilians, stealing anything they can, and you manage to find them "wonderful" .I didn't know that "wonderful people act that way?? Suggest you google the term wonderful , for you next article.
