@wildsiberian how do I stay in country longer. I'm married to a russian but websites are saying I can only stay 3 months then leave for 3 months to come back? From USA and a veteran as well.
@@Wild-Siberia Wow! Are you in Russia?! In Russia, you do not need to have residency, passport, citizenship, etc.. Go to the Taiga somewhere in 5 km ftom Sludanka and live there. Ksenia will go to home for food. BTW, Taiga means Wild Siberia ))))))) You and Mexicans, LA homeless folks and Americans are loud because of they are Free and they live in Freedom. We live in Russia. Russia is big Prison. And as Prisoners we try keep silence.(((((((((( You said Irkutsk does not have metro. Where is it? It is kidnapped by Msk. It is in Msk. So LA has own metro, Irkutsk does not.
My mom told me:”You have to look nice even you go for grocery shopping”. Она говорила, что это особенно важно в месте где тебя многие знают( деревня, маленький город, посёлок). Когда я приехала в США , я была типикал рашн. Теперь я особо не заморачиваюсь когда выхожу. Но знаете, с годами я поняла, что мама моя права. Следить за собой и хорошо выглядеть всегда не позволяет тебе опуститься, растёт достоинство, всегда хорошее настроение( потому что на это нужна энергия). Если женщина наряжается, значит у неё все хорошо).
I iron my clothes, the image is better pixelated self care = increased self esteem your lady is introvert you are extrovert, opposites attract. when the union gets to the mid to end if everything goes well the roles would flip, but that takes patience and love what attracts me to Russian women is maturity, us women mature slowly
@@muhammadx1670 no, personality types would never flip. She's not introvert. She's Russian. She's very confident. We are just not showy. Russian women are brought up according to 19th century Victorian etiquette where a Lady is reserved and calm and always well put together, regardless of her material means. Women in Russia still regard her husband to be in charge and it works, ensuring much better natural dynamics in the family. The Western elites ruined traditional roles and families on purpose so that they could better control and manipulate unhappy society
Hi guys, Eric from Pereslavl-Zalesskiy. I met my Russian wife in 2011 and we married in 2013 in the US. I screwed up the paperwork in my first attempt to bring her to Atlanta. The second attempt went great. We lived and worked there for 7 years before we returned to Russia. By the way, she received her US citizenship. I’m currently retired and receiving income regularly so money isn’t a problem, but with today’s situation we have to be aware of our finances. We love each other very much but we do have our arguments from time to time. After moving here I learned about the traditions and customs of Russian people and I respect their beliefs and I follow them myself. Your description of Americans is right on concerning how they present themselves in public. I’m looking forward to seeing how you two develop over the upcoming years. Keep her happy and she will have you back forever. Russian women are loyal to the ones they love.
@@user-em8mg6kz8qтам ключевые слова были, "к тем кого любят и кто их делает счастливыми". Так человек абсолютно прав. Не говоря уже о том, что loyal - это прежде всего преданный (в английском это два разных слова), и это так и вообще во сто крат. Да и в дружбе в целом с русским человеком, любого пола. Понятно, конечно, что 💩-люди везде есть. Но если говорить об общей тенденции, и к чему хотя бы люди все в большинстве своем стремятся и что считается достойным и правильным - у нас это действительно главное в отношениях с близкими любимыми людьми, преданность, отзывчивость, готовность прийти на помощь
Kseniya is a real russian girl : beautiful , proud, reserved and well - brought up ! For us, russian women, love is on the first place ! Not money. I like to sing at home.🎼 Russian lyrical songs , but some english too. Hello from Moscow region !
Ksenia has a typical Finno-Ugric appearance. It is possible that her ancestors came from Perm or Komi; she does not have a Slavic type of appearance. Passing the haplogroup test will confirm my arguments
@@MegaKubanoid привет из Якутии! Я поездил по России и заметил, что "типичной русской внешности" не существует. Русские везде разные, что у нас в Якутии, что в Свердловской области, что в Питере, или Новосибирске. Везде свой типаж. На Кубани не был, но уверен, что русские на Кубани внешне не такие как русские во Владивостоке, например, или в Новгороде.
@@MegaKubanoid Slavic peoples are ethnolinguistic group. It's not always about genetics. The fist Russian state Rus created by Ryuriks in 862 included Finno-Ugric tribes (Ves, Merya). Moreover, Finno-Ugric tribes came to Europe from Ural and Siberia.
I live in a small town, me and my wife from Moscow have been married for 4 years.. to her it still a big culture shock here in America.. we live as Russians..foreign men shouldn't expect a Russian woman to convert to their way of thinking because they will convert the man to the Russian traditions and expectations which I am very happy with))
Russia is very developed culturally. So many arts facilities are in Russia. There are so many great museums and theaters. And Russians are in general more educated and have not list common sense and ability to think critically-what people in the so called “west” are lacking. Russian culture in one of the greatest. The literature traditions are deeply rooted. And today, there are so many great writers. Read (in Russian) Victor Pelevin’s novels to see all the complexities of Russian civilization.
Happy Thanksgiving! As a husband of a Russian woman living in America, I do have plenty if advice I can give to men if you like, so here it goes from a Gen X American: 1.) Be the man your mother wants you to be. By that I mean dress nicely, stand up straight, for God's sake, shave! Dont look like crap. 2.) Don't be creepy! Don't send x rated pictures or talk about sex things while you are initally communicating! I cannot stress this enough! Its a huge turnoff for women and its bad behavior! 3.) Look again at rule #2. 4.) Get yourself in a financial position to be the sole provider. If youre going to stay in America, she cannot work for at LEAST 90 days. And with this thought... 5.) Have your own place, I know its double tough now, but you can do it. Be flexible in your housing/job choices. Be willing to relocate away from a city (cities in America really suck anyway) for a good job in cheaper areas of the USA like the Midwest or South. 6.) Patience, Patience, Patience. It will take time to meet your girl. There will be scammers, do NOT send money, do NOT "love bomb" or allow yourself to be lovebombed. This ties into the next point- 7.) If you meet on a dating site watch the site, see if they make you pay for all the little stuff. If they do, its a scam, the girls there are milking you. If you think you really met one, see if you can chat offsite via Skype etc. That shows genuine interest. 8.) Mind the time difference, we all gotta work. 9.) Dont let things escalate, this is not an American feminist. Nobody likes to fight, find solutions you can both agree on. 10.) You dont need to flash your stuff. Be real. Be a good man. Russian women appreciate strength from men. Be stoic and lead the family. Dont be jerk about it. Oh, and refer back to rule #2. Trust me. If asked I will tell why.
@@Wild-Siberia Don't fret about sounding like that. Russians would be extremely touched and would probably cry hearing you speak even mangled Russian. To us it's the sign of biggest respect and acceptance of our culture. Don't forget, Russians have been told for CENTURIES that they are second best and their Russian language is for peasants ! Until Russian revolution, for centuries Russia's official state language was French ! All the aristocrats spoke French as their first language, English and Greek as their second language. They spoke broken Russian and usually only to bark orders at their servants (the white slaves, Krepostnye). Russia was the last country to free their slaves who were native Russians. While Black and other foreigners in Russia were treated like Royalty. It's not until Alexander Pushkin who was quater black and quater French himself that Russian language was modernised and literature was written in Russian. Russians were brought up in an atmosphere of supplication before all foreigners from the Western countries. Even in the Soviet times, we didn't know, why but it was widely accepted that we are nothing and foreigners are above us. Thank GOD !!! the New generation of Russians don't feel like that any more. But if they hear an American speak Russian today, even really badly, it would mean a lot to them. Like that American regards people in Russia as equals by making an effort speaking in their language. So try it. Don't feel embarrassed. Your viewers will be honoured and will probably cry with joy! I'm not joking 😁👌
As a european living with my wife in Russia, i can relate to all this. The singing and whistling was strange for me at first but as you said, it is a matter of finding each other somewhere in the middle.
Вы очень красивая пара. Горжусь, что Ксения показывает нас с лучшей стороны! Она олицетворяет характер россиян- это скромность, доброжелательность, уважение, взаимовыручка, помощь незнакомым людям, милосердие! Вам действительно повезло с ней! Берегите Вашу девушку!
Thank you Ksenia and Daniel for sharing this with us; a very relevant and interesting topic. Having traveled a lot, and having being stationed in many different places. And working with Russian and Eastern European people, I know everything that you talked about here is true. There's not much family values left here in the"West" 😢🙏🤗 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
true, did anyone catch Iran President Raisi at the un general debate addressing the need to protect the family us is in terrible shape one needs just walk one block the filth is everywhere, literally and figuratively family is the only reason keeping me in place
You might not know but she's usually also aware of what to do in case of a nuclear missile attack and how to make face masks of medical gauze and cotton wool 😂 Especially those of the Soviet origin :))) A true Russian always has plans for the end of the world and after 😂😊
I first went to Russia in 2020, i met my Russian wife in Moscow, we were staying at the same hotel,i was backpacking,she was on business trip, we talked and after i left Russia we ,became Instagram friends,then i wanted to go back to Russia and meet her again but COVID ,😂 Russia closed its borders and i invited her to come to Mexico, and now we're married waiting for our first baby. my point is, If Y'all ooking for a Russian girlfriend, GO TO RUSSIA !!! that's my opinion.
American men want to marry Russian women because women in Russia are more mature, understanding, honoring men in their lives. They usually cook and take good care of themselves. They are great mothers. And the most valuable quality - women in Russia believe in faithfulness in marriage. When you marry a Russian woman, you have a partner for life, no matter what life brings you. Of course you can run into someone who is phony, but it is pretty rare.
This is nonsense! They hate cooking, despise men, who they want to destroy, and are scruffy, dirty and are full.of filthy language. They are frivolous and immature. They are not well educated. They say they are, but they are not. It seems.you've been reading CZcams comments and watching videos that have convinced you. You believe what you want to believe rather than the truth.
As an American man of Russian heritage, I would say that marrying a Russian woman is different. The culture itself just like she said, I think most of it has to do with the culture. I noticed when my grandparents were here, their relationship was based more on trust. It is very interesting but a very unique thing. I grew up here in the states, but I am planning on moving to Russia when I am done with school as a PA-c. I have always felt more of a connection to Russia as compared to the United States.
I can relate with you, having a Russian girlfriend is not that easy especially at first haha ,but there are some advantages of dating one tho ,one of them is that they are real and stand by you in hard times
@@abrachupacabra is there a point to praises which aren't grounded in truth ? I just indicated that the initial comment was at best an over simplification of things.
It is just different when two different cultures mix together. As long as there is strong bond in between with lot of love, understanding and patience, we all will be able to live in harmony. Our best of wishes to you Dan and Ksenia.
Hey Dan & Ksenia... awesome video. I married in Russia a few years ago and remembered the "you need to bring the singleness certificate from your country" at the ZAGS office... hahaha... Oh man... I went through a lot of paperwork, translations, legalization stuff, etc... I am self-educated in international law (Hague Convention) and so on... I did register every single visit to Russia at the Police Station... and waited for hours for that, after a 28hrs flight and jetlag... Unfortunately, my marriage ended last year, however we have an 8 yo son... I won´t mind to meet a new Russian woman... because, and answering Ksenia´s question, I admire the russian culture, the language, the beauty of women loyal to their husbands (when a man shows is strong enough to protect and support the family) ... I wish I could meet with you one day in Siberia.. I want to go to the Baykal... if you come to the US... I´m on the east coast... Reach to me anytime... as always... good job guys!... Keep it up!... всегда вперед!
@LitoGeorge not sure what you want to know... getting further into personal details in a public stream is not appropriate.. so... what concerns you and why?
I think its quite simple really. As a separated guy, I view women with extreme caution now. If marriage to a Russian woman was so great, then why did it end? Arent you burned?
I was born in the Czech republic. two cultural differences that were very hard for me to get used to were 1: all the stupid grinning people in the west do and 2: small talk. Both of these are perceived in my culture as a show of shallow and simple kind of person. Now I'm used to it for the most part, but still hate talking about the weather and other empty things. On the other side, we Czechs are perceived by Western cultures to be much too direct, very un-diplomatic and surly.
You could replace the word "Czech" with "Russian" and be spot on with what the Russians are like. All Slavic nations are very similar: direct and not smiling without a reason.
Geez, This sounds like heaven to me. Its fine to say nice day or something like that, but life is so MUCH more interesting when you discuss the more important things. I struggle in Canada. Most folks are afraid of the deeper stuff it seems. Or, they dramatise the little they have been through. Very spoiled country.
I have heard from a friend of mine whose wife is Russian, that it is because of their conservative nature and Christian backgrounds. And let me just say it is the entire country not just the women. These things are important to them and it appeals to us because we simply do not see it a lot around here these days. My friends wife is from Pskov. She seems very reserved and not attention seeking. Dresses well. I have also heard about the hectare program which catches my imagination, just don't know how it works for Americans. I don't speak the language. I am a typical older wolf just looking for land, peace and quiet on a few acreas in the woods. Near water would be fine!!. I would probably come across as one of the dirty hippie fellows, but I am who I am. Not trying to impress anyone.
Russia is diffrent than US.Russia is diffrent than Mexico also.Mexicans we are more friendly,calm,we like having a good time.Its just a diffrent culture.
I lived six years with my translator. I already had a taste for European food, so I took to Russian food very easy. Most Slavic females have traditional values, have skills and education. Sadly lacking in western woman. The only problem I had was being shaken down by police in front of the St. Petersburg airport.
I am happy for you guys :) i hope it won't be to hard to get the paper stuff done for the wedding. I am from Germany (although my dad is also Ukrainian) and my wife is also from Ukraine. We had some quite similar experiences. It was kind of funny, that a lot of people thought I would be rich (just because I am German) and my wife would be a gold digger. But in reality am I just a regular working/middle class man and we fall in love. We had also some difficulties to get married. I needed the exact same paper (that I am not married in Germany) and it was quite not easy to get it. But it was worth it. So I wish you all the best and I hope you manage to get married. PS i hate politics and have friends from Russia and Ukraine - great mentality :)
I AM CUBAN AND WE HAVE GREAT ADMIRATION FOR THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR VAST AND RICH CULTURE AND HISTORY, AND MANY OF OUR COMRADES MARRIED RUSSIAN WOMEN AND CUBAN WOMEN WITH RUSSIANS AND THEY CONTINUE TO DO SO AND SO FAR EVERYTHING IS OK
I think it’s because women in Russia still believe in family, the world has gotten crazy. I see even in China women and women. I saw something on the subway in Chongqing, it’s out there homosexuality. Even if you don’t get married in Russia just the fact that tradition is valued.
@@Wild-Siberia it’s sad bro, its as if they are going to take down the establishment with homosexuality. I’m sorry even if I’m having a hard time in a place where I can see normality in the gender. I rather prefer that to what is going on in a lot of country, it’s one of things I like about Russia not backing down. That’s my reason I think a lot of men are seeking Russian women, and this situation has gotten so political. I just want to world to know, this guy is not part of the movement.
I was determined to find a Russian woman, couldn't find one here so I was getting ready to go to Russia. Finally found her after months of prayer, here, and thankfully she had dual citizenship already. But yeah, different citizenship does make it a little more complicated. You get her a ring yet, man?
@@Wild-Siberiawe're in the US right now, but if everything goes well, we will be in Moscow this upcoming Sunday. Didn't I see you were planning a trip to Moscow? Or did that already take place? We'd love to meet you and Ksenia.
Ещё мы поем группами, когда веселимся (не обязательно пьяными). Например, если отдыхаем на шашлыках в группе друзей)) последний раз мы пели с друзьями военные песни, когда возвращались со свадьбы. Но в автобусе, на котором мы ехали со свадьбы, были только гости с этой же свадьбы, поэтому это было нормально)
У меня под окнами на днях такие деятели появились в 5 утра и орали на весь квартал "Выйду ночью в поле с конем" 😂 Причем сначала я думала про них исключительно матерно, а под конец практически подпевала 🤣🤣🤣
I met a Russian lady when I was in the Army. She was beautiful, lovable, kind, and heartwarming. Unfortunately 911 happened and we got separated. I really miss her. 😢
I can tell that Ksenia loves you, Daniel. I can also tell she is a wise young woman for whom being happy is more important than being right. You guys are fortunate to have found each other. When you guys have kids, they will be much happier and healthier in Russia. By staying there, you are making the right choice. Speaking from bad experience, unfortunately, American healthcare ruined my boys' health.
The Russian woman said, "Wow! Ksenia looks 25. I thought you were 10 years older". Я использовал онлайн-переводчик, чтобы помочь с английским. Это типа весело :)
my wife tells me i cant whistle inside the house, Russian bad luck i guess. as far as Russian food, i like pretty much everything my wife makes, only issue is shuba. i am not sure if i spelled that right but its like fish and mayo, and beets. she is cooking a lot more mexican now, her caldo de rez and menudo which are not easy to make. she makes the best green pozole.
Daniel, probably you have dual citizenship. A friend of mine with Mexican citizenship as well with US got married in Mexico for Russian woman. After that they just updated their status in the USA. It was a great wedding and I was their photographer. I fell in love for Mexico and after that I decide to spend more time there, so I stayed for another six months. One of the best time in my life, now I am looking forward to go again, but first on my bucket list is Sankt Petersburg. I have a couple of good Facebook friends there and want to meet them in the real life. Just an idea, probably if you do the wedding in Mexico will be way easier.
Hello, guys! Xenia, I made all the same remarks to my future husband when he visiting Russia. Lol. And when I heard this from you, this circumstance made me smile. A little nostalgia from the memories. Don't listen to anyone, everyone still finds ways to meet, life goes on. Visas are also being issued for both brides and wives. Moscow has completed issuing visas in the summer of 2021. But everyone successfully receives visas in other countries of the world and Europe as well. Rumors about Russophobia are greatly exaggerated. (this is being dispersed in the media that are unfriendly to us). In addition, horror stories are written by people who either do not know anything themselves, or it is profitable for them to intimidate you. Go ahead, look for opportunities, there are enough of them in reality, the main desire. And be both happy. Thanks for the video.❤😁
On big thing-in the US, half of women are obese!! It was so difficult to even talk to a woman who wasn’t very overweight or obese. Thank God I found a beautiful, young, fit, and feminine Russian girl! She never gets offended when I tell her women should be in shape when they’re young. Obviously men should also be in shape!
I think that two points are important, fix your arm problem in Russian hospital treatment, and change your passport to Mexican citizen. You can give Spanish besides English lessons. Good luck and wishing you both a good future . God bless you.
@@aizhongwen I did not know. that detail and as someone who has lived in five countries now it drives me crazy how many Americans think it is so easy to do. No, it is a tremendously difficult thing even when one does uproot to a culture that one already knows and where employment is to be had due to citizenship. I will also say that there is no "best" country out there. It's all a set of personal values and what one wants to gain and to lose.
Curiously, I think I'd fit well on the mood side of things since my default mood is neutral, slightly leaning towards negative even. I don't really smile at people unless I actually find it humorous. I greet people with a 2-3 second soft grin accompanied with a nod of the head, a handshake, or a kiss on the cheek if we're talking about close female friends. I'm definitely not a happy go lucky person, but that's more of a personality thing and less of a cultural thing in my case.
I am from Russia. When I am looking this videos I start to understand that single person from each nationality actually is friendly, openminded and wants to explore other culture. It looks like politics force all this hate and wars between countries. I want peace and prosperity for all world for each country for each local. Humanity achieve so much, we need to make one more step. I love my mother land and I happy that someone from other continent can see all the beauty of Russia without stereotypes. Thank you!
It's not just the Russian girls, western males now prefer eastern women because once they make a commitment with you they stick by you through thick and thin. Senia you got yourself a good man. God bless , may you both live a happy loving life.
Hi guys! Today I found your channel and watched several videos - very sincere and warm. I told my husband about you at lunch, and he said that he already knows about your story, Daniel.👋 And it is funny thing about the whistle. When my french husband whistles in the house, I tell my inner superstitious dwarf to enjoy the melody and be silent. 😸(because in Russia there is a superstition - if you whistle at home, you will not have money) Documents for marriage are difficult and long, we were working towards being together for more than a year from different countries! But this path is worth going through together, it made our relationship stronger. I wish you happiness, keep making videos!
This comment made me laugh about the whistling! Thanks for the support on this channel it means a lot to us! I hope that you and your husband are well! I wish you the same happiness!
Good luck to both of you! Everything will work out. You just have to have patience! I am from Siberia as well (Tomsk). My American husband and I have been married for 26 years now. We have lived in USA and visited Russia many times. All that you are going through is very similar to what we have gone through. It's all about compromise, patience, and, of course, love! Best wishes to you two, and if you are ever in Texas, we would love to meet you!
Amazing to know other people are watching with similar stories! If ksenia is ever allowed into America I have nothing but great friends in Texas and I’d be going there. Thanks for watching hello to you and your husband 🙏🏻
Daniel, good luck to you and Kseniia! I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. My sibling also served in the MC in Iraq, and Afghanistan as a contractor (on the Helmund base). My hubby is Russian--we got married in Russia 10 yrs ago and I had to get that "Spravka" from the US Embassy in Moscow, then get it legalized by the МИД in Russia. My cousin did things a little easier, he married a Finnish woman in Las Vegas. All she had was her passport and an expired tourist visa, but the chapel still performed the ceremony 😂 Btw, be mindful of the expiration dates/validity of your documents when you plan your trip back to Russia! I tried to get a temporary residency permit (РВП), but my certificate from the FBI (справка об отсуствии судимости), which had to be Apostilled by the US State Department, expired by the time I submitted my paperwork in Russia... it was good for 6 months until Russia changed the law and then it was suddenly only good for 3 months and already expired when I went to submit everything 😢 Next time I apply for residency, I will probably hire a Russian lawyer to help me and double-check everything. Because we're already married and in the states, I have also looked into applying for Russian residency while still here, i.e. submitting the paperwork to the Russian Embassy in DC, but I would still have to do the medical exam and Russian civics/language/history test once arriving in Russia (medical within 30 days of arrival). Not sure what your strategy is, but I hope it works for you both! We had to come back to the US, because it was easier for me to get hubby a US visa than for me to get a Russian residency permit. However, the laws are changing and hopefully for our benefit 😅 God bless you and thank you for your service! 🙏✝️
yes! we were taught from childhood that it is impossible to whistle in the house. there are many other funny old customs and prohibitions that must be observed
Сестра моего друга в Белоруссии познакомилась тут у нас с американским пастором (они организовывали у нас летний лагерь для отдыха детей) и вышла за него замуж через несколько лет, после достижения совершеннолетия, уехала в США. Когда мы собирались вместе с ними, с друзьями, этот пастор Харрисон, рассказал, что его поразили белорусские девушки тем, что в возрасте 17-18 лет абсолютное большинство из них - наивные, чистые дети, воспитанные в традициях и без опыта сексуальных отношений, что у нас считается в старшей школе абсолютно нормальным.
Im trying to woo one right now living in belgrade, shes amazing i just dont know if i can overcome my anxiety of traveling to go see her. You two give me hope that its possible.
Btw. My wife and me don't have many problems about anything,only what she doesn't like is that in Serbia everyone is smoking inside ,which i understand because i hate it too ,we have pretty similar cultures so we had luck ,little cultural differences nothing special 😁
Это замечательно, что русские женщины щепетильно ухаживают за собой, и с особым пристрастие следят за своей внешностью, ибо женщина - это прекрасный цветок, это украшение человечества. Цветок всегда должен оставаться прекрасным, благоухающим, нежным цветком. На заурядность, грубость и серость, я могу и в зеркало посмотреть 😁))
I think our southern russian regions have similar "loud and open" cultures, same as in U.S or Europe, where the norther you go, the "calmer and stiffer" the people are and vice versa.
You two look good together and I hope it works out. Funny when you mentioned that you were loud to her. First time I met my wife (Russian) she said the same thing, but later. Loud, obnoxious American. haha But it's true. I lived in St Petersburg for 3 years before coming back to the states with her, and when I got hear everybody was SO LOUD.
The old standards and traditions are lost in the western civilization. There is no more dignity. The only hope is in Russia. We mightyly hope the old traditions win.
Hello from the U.S. I just found your channel today and have been binge watching. I love all things Russian and it is where my ancestors came from. You have a beautiful woman my friend. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Peace from the U.S. ✌
Welcome my friend please try watching the classics and work your way back to recent times. As I’m not in Russia at the moment getting my new visa to go back
Hi guys, I'm a French-born Canadian of African descent. I want to say that I appreciate this video and agree with your assertion on the cultural differences. I was told the best women to marry outside of our Congolese community are German and Russian women because of their traditional values. I've read that Bulgaria and Romania are good, too. I never fixed a car tire before, but I would be open to learning how to. What advice would you give to someone like me who is open to foreign women?
Bro! It is very helpful and makes things just normal that you are not so much gringo, but mostly real world man as Mexican. No doubt you definitely can be Siberian, if not already. Things will be learned when mental core is healthy. So, welcome home, to the land of unlimited freshness.
Marriage takes a lot of work no matter where you are from. Most western men seeking women in Eastern Europe/Russia do so for the exact reasons you stated. Eastern women tend not to let themselves go to seed after they marry. The rest of these guys think that Eastern women don't care if the man is over 40, bald and morbidly obese, which I find hilarious because physical attraction works both ways boys. I would love to travel to Russia because I love the culture and were my mother's family is from.
Thank you for posting these videos with both of your opinions on various topics. I hope you know that anyone who is a decent person would not hold the actions of the government against the citizens of that country no matter what country they live in. I live in the US and am a veteran of the US Navy and I regularly correspond with Russian citizens on Facebook. We belong to an international motorcycle group and that common interest bridges political gaps. None of us completely agree with everything that our respective governments do.
Did you ever get lucky meeting Ksenia! She has taught you so much about her amazing country. I hope you solve all issues and get married next year. (Even Brits say that Americans are loud but they are not as loud as Germans!).
I just found your channel. Love it so far!!. I am American but have recently discovered my Russian/Ukrainian heritage. The accent is one thing that always intrigues Americans, there are certain ways native Russian speakers say English wrong but it sounds so cute. I have been talking to a girl from St. Petersberg for awhile but with sanctions (no direct flights anymore) and finances I am unable to make it over there to meet her. BTW Ksenia is beautiful. One lucky man!!
About papers from US: you not only have to get the certificate of absence of marriage in US, but also have to legalize it by getting an apostille on that certificate in accordance with The Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. And It is possible to legalize a document only within the country of document origin. Oh, and Russia do not accept electronic apostilles, only the one made on paper with proper signs and seals. And after that you need to do a notary translation of all this in Russia.
We like Russian women because they still see man is the one that needs to care and protect and take the role and women is still women and not trying to be the man. Russian women is still women and real man respect and love that. ( Just hope it can stay that way and not go with the flow in other parts of the world)❤ Russian women!
Ohhhhh you're practicing your editing skills? or you found someone to do it for you? Very nice addition to the video. The topic was amazing ♥ I am very sorry for treats, for me Russian is doing the Gods work, protecting religion, fighting against globalists and imperialists.
My fiance (4yrs, met in Brooklyn), is from Novosibirsk, I visited 1 month September-2021. Olesia is always afraid of the cold, even in July in New York City.
I was in Yekaterinberg in June 2012. Lots of young beautiful skinny white women wearing short dresses and stilettos. Easy to understand the attraction by western man. I met an American in Moscow whose ex wife was Russian and dated many Russians. He told me many were gold diggers and the society is corrupt from top down to bottom up.

In Russia, you do not need to have residency, passport, citizenship, etc..

your lady is introvert you are extrovert, opposites attract. when the union gets to the mid to end if everything goes well the roles would flip, but that takes patience and love
what attracts me to Russian women is maturity, us women mature slowly
@@muhammadx1670 no, personality types would never flip. She's not introvert. She's Russian. She's very confident. We are just not showy. Russian women are brought up according to 19th century Victorian etiquette where a Lady is reserved and calm and always well put together, regardless of her material means. Women in Russia still regard her husband to be in charge and it works, ensuring much better natural dynamics in the family.
The Western elites ruined traditional roles and families on purpose so that they could better control and manipulate unhappy society
Hi guys, Eric from Pereslavl-Zalesskiy. I met my Russian wife in 2011 and we married in 2013 in the US. I screwed up the paperwork in my first attempt to bring her to Atlanta. The second attempt went great. We lived and worked there for 7 years before we returned to Russia. By the way, she received her US citizenship. I’m currently retired and receiving income regularly so money isn’t a problem, but with today’s situation we have to be aware of our finances. We love each other very much but we do have our arguments from time to time. After moving here I learned about the traditions and customs of Russian people and I respect their beliefs and I follow them myself. Your description of Americans is right on concerning how they present themselves in public.
I’m looking forward to seeing how you two develop over the upcoming years. Keep her happy and she will have you back forever. Russian women are loyal to the ones they love.

@@user-em8mg6kz8qтам ключевые слова были, "к тем кого любят и кто их делает счастливыми". Так человек абсолютно прав. Не говоря уже о том, что loyal - это прежде всего преданный (в английском это два разных слова), и это так и вообще во сто крат. Да и в дружбе в целом с русским человеком, любого пола. Понятно, конечно, что 💩-люди везде есть. Но если говорить об общей тенденции, и к чему хотя бы люди все в большинстве своем стремятся и что считается достойным и правильным - у нас это действительно главное в отношениях с близкими любимыми людьми, преданность, отзывчивость, готовность прийти на помощь

Ksenia has a typical Finno-Ugric appearance. It is possible that her ancestors came from Perm or Komi; she does not have a Slavic type of appearance. Passing the haplogroup test will confirm my arguments
@@MegaKubanoid привет из Якутии! Я поездил по России и заметил, что "типичной русской внешности" не существует. Русские везде разные, что у нас в Якутии, что в Свердловской области, что в Питере, или Новосибирске. Везде свой типаж. На Кубани не был, но уверен, что русские на Кубани внешне не такие как русские во Владивостоке, например, или в Новгороде.
@@MegaKubanoid Slavic peoples are ethnolinguistic group. It's not always about genetics. The fist Russian state Rus created by Ryuriks in 862 included Finno-Ugric tribes (Ves, Merya). Moreover, Finno-Ugric tribes came to Europe from Ural and Siberia.

thank you very much 🙏🏻
Russia is very developed culturally. So many arts facilities are in Russia. There are so many great museums and theaters. And Russians are in general more educated and have not list common sense and ability to think critically-what people in the so called “west” are lacking. Russian culture in one of the greatest. The literature traditions are deeply rooted. And today, there are so many great writers. Read (in Russian) Victor Pelevin’s novels to see all the complexities of Russian civilization.
Happy Thanksgiving!
As a husband of a Russian woman living in America, I do have plenty if advice I can give to men if you like, so here it goes from a Gen X American:
1.) Be the man your mother wants you to be. By that I mean dress nicely, stand up straight, for God's sake, shave! Dont look like crap.
2.) Don't be creepy! Don't send x rated pictures or talk about sex things while you are initally communicating! I cannot stress this enough! Its a huge turnoff for women and its bad behavior!
3.) Look again at rule #2.
4.) Get yourself in a financial position to be the sole provider. If youre going to stay in America, she cannot work for at LEAST 90 days. And with this thought...
5.) Have your own place, I know its double tough now, but you can do it. Be flexible in your housing/job choices. Be willing to relocate away from a city (cities in America really suck anyway) for a good job in cheaper areas of the USA like the Midwest or South.
6.) Patience, Patience, Patience. It will take time to meet your girl. There will be scammers, do NOT send money, do NOT "love bomb" or allow yourself to be lovebombed. This ties into the next point-
7.) If you meet on a dating site watch the site, see if they make you pay for all the little stuff. If they do, its a scam, the girls there are milking you. If you think you really met one, see if you can chat offsite via Skype etc. That shows genuine interest.
8.) Mind the time difference, we all gotta work.
9.) Dont let things escalate, this is not an American feminist. Nobody likes to fight, find solutions you can both agree on.
10.) You dont need to flash your stuff. Be real. Be a good man. Russian women appreciate strength from men. Be stoic and lead the family. Dont be jerk about it. Oh, and refer back to rule #2. Trust me. If asked I will tell why.
This is amazing how Ksenia 's English improving with each video 👍with things developing so fast we might soon hear Dan speak Russian as well 😊
I use Russian every day I’m just very embarrassed to do it in camera because I use it like a cave man child
Thank you ☺️
@@Wild-Siberia Don't fret about sounding like that. Russians would be extremely touched and would probably cry hearing you speak even mangled Russian. To us it's the sign of biggest respect and acceptance of our culture. Don't forget, Russians have been told for CENTURIES that they are second best and their Russian language is for peasants !
Until Russian revolution, for centuries Russia's official state language was French ! All the aristocrats spoke French as their first language, English and Greek as their second language. They spoke broken Russian and usually only to bark orders at their servants (the white slaves, Krepostnye). Russia was the last country to free their slaves who were native Russians. While Black and other foreigners in Russia were treated like Royalty.
It's not until Alexander Pushkin who was quater black and quater French himself that Russian language was modernised and literature was written in Russian.
Russians were brought up in an atmosphere of supplication before all foreigners from the Western countries. Even in the Soviet times, we didn't know, why but it was widely accepted that we are nothing and foreigners are above us.
Thank GOD !!! the New generation of Russians don't feel like that any more.
But if they hear an American speak Russian today, even really badly, it would mean a lot to them. Like that American regards people in Russia as equals by making an effort speaking in their language.
So try it. Don't feel embarrassed. Your viewers will be honoured and will probably cry with joy!
I'm not joking 😁👌

American men want to marry Russian women because women in Russia are more mature, understanding, honoring men in their lives. They usually cook and take good care of themselves. They are great mothers. And the most valuable quality - women in Russia believe in faithfulness in marriage. When you marry a Russian woman, you have a partner for life, no matter what life brings you. Of course you can run into someone who is phony, but it is pretty rare.
This is nonsense! They hate cooking, despise men, who they want to destroy, and are scruffy, dirty and are full.of filthy language. They are frivolous and immature. They are not well educated. They say they are, but they are not. It seems.you've been reading CZcams comments and watching videos that have convinced you. You believe what you want to believe rather than the truth.
As an American man of Russian heritage, I would say that marrying a Russian woman is different. The culture itself just like she said, I think most of it has to do with the culture. I noticed when my grandparents were here, their relationship was based more on trust. It is very interesting but a very unique thing. I grew up here in the states, but I am planning on moving to Russia when I am done with school as a PA-c. I have always felt more of a connection to Russia as compared to the United States.
This is an awesome
testimony thanks so much

Thank yoU!
Hey Dan & Ksenia... awesome video. I married in Russia a few years ago and remembered the "you need to bring the singleness certificate from your country" at the ZAGS office... hahaha... Oh man... I went through a lot of paperwork, translations, legalization stuff, etc... I am self-educated in international law (Hague Convention) and so on... I did register every single visit to Russia at the Police Station... and waited for hours for that, after a 28hrs flight and jetlag... Unfortunately, my marriage ended last year, however we have an 8 yo son... I won´t mind to meet a new Russian woman... because, and answering Ksenia´s question, I admire the russian culture, the language, the beauty of women loyal to their husbands (when a man shows is strong enough to protect and support the family) ... I wish I could meet with you one day in Siberia.. I want to go to the Baykal... if you come to the US... I´m on the east coast... Reach to me anytime... as always... good job guys!... Keep it up!... всегда вперед!
the paper work I’m not looking forward for it! thanks for sharing your experience!! I hope many others read
So you married a Russian woman then. Why did it end? Personal question, but you were personal here :)
@LitoGeorge not sure what you want to know... getting further into personal details in a public stream is not appropriate.. so... what concerns you and why?
I think its quite simple really. As a separated guy, I view women with extreme caution now. If marriage to a Russian woman was so great, then why did it end? Arent you burned?
@LitoGeorge yeah..nah... as a stubborn dunkey I dind develop any misogyny...😄
I was born in the Czech republic. two cultural differences that were very hard for me to get used to were 1: all the stupid grinning people in the west do and 2: small talk. Both of these are perceived in my culture as a show of shallow and simple kind of person. Now I'm used to it for the most part, but still hate talking about the weather and other empty things. On the other side, we Czechs are perceived by Western cultures to be much too direct, very un-diplomatic and surly.
sounds normal
I like Eastern European approach. It seems more honest
Slavs 😃😅
You could replace the word "Czech" with "Russian" and be spot on with what the Russians are like. All Slavic nations are very similar: direct and not smiling without a reason.
Geez, This sounds like heaven to me. Its fine to say nice day or something like that, but life is so MUCH more interesting when you discuss the more important things. I struggle in Canada. Most folks are afraid of the deeper stuff it seems. Or, they dramatise the little they have been through. Very spoiled country.
I have heard from a friend of mine whose wife is Russian, that it is because of their conservative nature and Christian backgrounds. And let me just say it is the entire country not just the women. These things are important to them and it appeals to us because we simply do not see it a lot around here these days. My friends wife is from Pskov. She seems very reserved and not attention seeking. Dresses well.
I have also heard about the hectare program which catches my imagination, just don't know how it works for Americans. I don't speak the language. I am a typical older wolf just looking for land, peace and quiet on a few acreas in the woods. Near water would be fine!!. I would probably come across as one of the dirty hippie fellows, but I am who I am. Not trying to impress anyone.
No you don't understand, the people she's seen and ive seen are literal teenage hippies who backpack and don't shower for long time. I doubt its you 😂
Ну чтож,наверное вы внушаете уважения🤣
Russia is diffrent than US.Russia is diffrent than Mexico also.Mexicans we are more friendly,calm,we like having a good time.Its just a diffrent culture.
I lived six years with my translator. I already had a taste for European food, so I took to Russian food very easy.
Most Slavic females have traditional values, have skills and education. Sadly lacking in western woman.
The only problem I had was being shaken down by police in front of the St. Petersburg airport.
Thats insane 6 years?
The only criminals I know of in Russia are the police. Militia if you prefer.
I am happy for you guys :) i hope it won't be to hard to get the paper stuff done for the wedding. I am from Germany (although my dad is also Ukrainian) and my wife is also from Ukraine. We had some quite similar experiences. It was kind of funny, that a lot of people thought I would be rich (just because I am German) and my wife would be a gold digger. But in reality am I just a regular working/middle class man and we fall in love. We had also some difficulties to get married. I needed the exact same paper (that I am not married in Germany) and it was quite not easy to get it. But it was worth it. So I wish you all the best and I hope you manage to get married.
PS i hate politics and have friends from Russia and Ukraine - great mentality :)

I think it’s because women in Russia still believe in family, the world has gotten crazy. I see even in China women and women. I saw something on the subway in Chongqing, it’s out there homosexuality. Even if you don’t get married in Russia just the fact that tradition is valued.

@@Wild-Siberia it’s sad bro, its as if they are going to take down the establishment with homosexuality. I’m sorry even if I’m having a hard time in a place where I can see normality in the gender.

That’s my reason I think a lot of men are seeking Russian women, and this situation has gotten so political. I just want to world to know, this guy is not part of the movement.

Daniel, probably you have dual citizenship. A friend of mine with Mexican citizenship as well with US got married in Mexico for Russian woman. After that they just updated their status in the USA. It was a great wedding and I was their photographer. I fell in love for Mexico and after that I decide to spend more time there, so I stayed for another six months. One of the best time in my life, now I am looking forward to go again, but first on my bucket list is Sankt Petersburg. I have a couple of good Facebook friends there and want to meet them in the real life. Just an idea, probably if you do the wedding in Mexico will be way easier.
Well the plan is to get her Mexican Citizenship for sure!
Hello, guys! Xenia, I made all the same remarks to my future husband when he visiting Russia. Lol. And when I heard this from you, this circumstance made me smile. A little nostalgia from the memories. Don't listen to anyone, everyone still finds ways to meet, life goes on. Visas are also being issued for both brides and wives. Moscow has completed issuing visas in the summer of 2021. But everyone successfully receives visas in other countries of the world and Europe as well. Rumors about Russophobia are greatly exaggerated. (this is being dispersed in the media that are unfriendly to us). In addition, horror stories are written by people who either do not know anything themselves, or it is profitable for them to intimidate you. Go ahead, look for opportunities, there are enough of them in reality, the main desire. And be both happy. Thanks for the video.❤😁

Easiest is to date within own culture. However, reality is relationships between two humans are difficult in nature.

Curiously, I think I'd fit well on the mood side of things since my default mood is neutral, slightly leaning towards negative even. I don't really smile at people unless I actually find it humorous. I greet people with a 2-3 second soft grin accompanied with a nod of the head, a handshake, or a kiss on the cheek if we're talking about close female friends. I'm definitely not a happy go lucky person, but that's more of a personality thing and less of a cultural thing in my case.

Hi guys! Today I found your channel and watched several videos - very sincere and warm. I told my husband about you at lunch, and he said that he already knows about your story, Daniel.👋
And it is funny thing about the whistle. When my french husband whistles in the house, I tell my inner superstitious dwarf to enjoy the melody and be silent. 😸(because in Russia there is a superstition - if you whistle at home, you will not have money)
Documents for marriage are difficult and long, we were working towards being together for more than a year from different countries! But this path is worth going through together, it made our relationship stronger. I wish you happiness, keep making videos!
This comment made me laugh about the whistling! Thanks for the support on this channel it means a lot to us! I hope that you and your husband are well! I wish you the same happiness!

Good luck to both of you! Everything will work out. You just have to have patience! I am from Siberia as well (Tomsk). My American husband and I have been married for 26 years now. We have lived in USA and visited Russia many times. All that you are going through is very similar to what we have gone through. It's all about compromise, patience, and, of course, love! Best wishes to you two, and if you are ever in Texas, we would love to meet you!
Amazing to know other people are watching with similar stories! If ksenia is ever allowed into America I have nothing but great friends in Texas and I’d be going there.
Thanks for watching hello to you and your husband 🙏🏻
Daniel, good luck to you and Kseniia! I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. My sibling also served in the MC in Iraq, and Afghanistan as a contractor (on the Helmund base). My hubby is Russian--we got married in Russia 10 yrs ago and I had to get that "Spravka" from the US Embassy in Moscow, then get it legalized by the МИД in Russia. My cousin did things a little easier, he married a Finnish woman in Las Vegas. All she had was her passport and an expired tourist visa, but the chapel still performed the ceremony 😂 Btw, be mindful of the expiration dates/validity of your documents when you plan your trip back to Russia! I tried to get a temporary residency permit (РВП), but my certificate from the FBI (справка об отсуствии судимости), which had to be Apostilled by the US State Department, expired by the time I submitted my paperwork in Russia... it was good for 6 months until Russia changed the law and then it was suddenly only good for 3 months and already expired when I went to submit everything 😢 Next time I apply for residency, I will probably hire a Russian lawyer to help me and double-check everything. Because we're already married and in the states, I have also looked into applying for Russian residency while still here, i.e. submitting the paperwork to the Russian Embassy in DC, but I would still have to do the medical exam and Russian civics/language/history test once arriving in Russia (medical within 30 days of arrival). Not sure what your strategy is, but I hope it works for you both! We had to come back to the US, because it was easier for me to get hubby a US visa than for me to get a Russian residency permit. However, the laws are changing and hopefully for our benefit 😅 God bless you and thank you for your service! 🙏✝️
thanks 🙏🏻🫡
Even after 12 years, if I whistle while working in the house or outside (absentmindedly), Olga goes, "Ahhhhh!" :)
🤣 it’s crazy!
Все правильно. Не свисти, а то денег не будет)
yes! we were taught from childhood that it is impossible to whistle in the house.
there are many other funny old customs and prohibitions that must be observed
I'm still waiting for my Russian girl 🇷🇺🫡
😂🙏🏻 Tons of them in Russia ;D
@@Wild-Siberia measuring beauty in tons is some new method, surely :)
@@Wild-Siberia тонны это маленько не культурно амиго☝
Stay away from orthodox women
I m here! ;)
Сестра моего друга в Белоруссии познакомилась тут у нас с американским пастором (они организовывали у нас летний лагерь для отдыха детей) и вышла за него замуж через несколько лет, после достижения совершеннолетия, уехала в США. Когда мы собирались вместе с ними, с друзьями, этот пастор Харрисон, рассказал, что его поразили белорусские девушки тем, что в возрасте 17-18 лет абсолютное большинство из них - наивные, чистые дети, воспитанные в традициях и без опыта сексуальных отношений, что у нас считается в старшей школе абсолютно нормальным.
That is very cool
Звучит будто этот пастор грумер-педофил
Im trying to woo one right now living in belgrade, shes amazing i just dont know if i can overcome my anxiety of traveling to go see her. You two give me hope that its possible.
You guys are awesome! ❤ Best wishes from Japan!
THANK YOU! What part of JAPAN!? we will visit maybe next year if we don't go to Korea we want to see Japan!
Thank you so much 🫶🏻
You both are a perfect match
The best of luck to you both
You are so kind thank you!
Good video Daniel, thanks for sharing, God bless brother !
🫡
Here I agree with you 100% my brother.
🙏🏻
My guess would be family values as a reason many want to marry a Russian woman
Yea I think so
Btw. My wife and me don't have many problems about anything,only what she doesn't like is that in Serbia everyone is smoking inside ,which i understand because i hate it too ,we have pretty similar cultures so we had luck ,little cultural differences nothing special 😁
I hate that! it happens here in Russia too it’s disgusting
@@Wild-Siberia But In Serbia, it's in Cafes , Restaurants,bars ,pubs 🫣
EXCELLENT VIDEO.
Thank you very much!
Good to see❤❤
Это замечательно, что русские женщины щепетильно ухаживают за собой, и с особым пристрастие следят за своей внешностью, ибо женщина - это прекрасный цветок, это украшение человечества. Цветок всегда должен оставаться прекрасным, благоухающим, нежным цветком. На заурядность, грубость и серость, я могу и в зеркало посмотреть 😁))
☝🏻🙏🏻🇷🇺
Cool and funny video!
🙏🏻
100% spot on. I know as I have seen exactly the same scenarios.
Привет Дэн и Ксюша,я думаю все у вас будет хорошо
thank you 🙏🏻
I think our southern russian regions have similar "loud and open" cultures, same as in U.S or Europe, where the norther you go, the "calmer and stiffer" the people are and vice versa.
I've also noticed that. The further up north the more stiff and formal people are. Is it the temperature?
You two look good together and I hope it works out. Funny when you mentioned that you were loud to her. First time I met my wife (Russian) she said the same thing, but later. Loud, obnoxious American. haha But it's true. I lived in St Petersburg for 3 years before coming back to the states with her, and when I got hear everybody was SO LOUD.
I like borch, they always sell it at the county fair in Hillsboro Kansas
" многие думаю, что я его переводчик" мой google translation ахах
Можно ещё сказать, что это мой навигатор😅
it’s true many people confuse her for this
The old standards and traditions are lost in the western civilization. There is no more dignity. The only hope is in Russia. We mightyly hope the old traditions win.
💕💕💕💕 love from Poland to both of you
Thanks Sabina 🙏🏻 we send the love back to you I hope you’re well
@@Wild-Siberia I found your channel today by accident. Have you talked already about Russian men? what are they like as husbands and fathers?
You're from California in Montana. The girls are like well-kept girls. Neat!
Great video. You guys are an amazing couple
Thank you so much! tacos soon 🫡 November
@@Wild-Siberia Just had two for lunch from a truck/trailer "La Traila"....one barbacoa and one al pastor🤩
I married a Russian girl because I was looking for a woman. Not my equal.
😅
Hello from the U.S. I just found your channel today and have been binge watching. I love all things Russian and it is where my ancestors came from. You have a beautiful woman my friend. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Peace from the U.S. ✌
Welcome my friend please try watching the classics and work your way back to recent times. As I’m not in Russia at the moment getting my new visa to go back
That look ksenia gave you, she knows you 😅
Hi guys, I'm a French-born Canadian of African descent. I want to say that I appreciate this video and agree with your assertion on the cultural differences. I was told the best women to marry outside of our Congolese community are German and Russian women because of their traditional values. I've read that Bulgaria and Romania are good, too. I never fixed a car tire before, but I would be open to learning how to. What advice would you give to someone like me who is open to foreign women?
Bro! It is very helpful and makes things just normal that you are not so much gringo, but mostly real world man as Mexican. No doubt you definitely can be Siberian, if not already. Things will be learned when mental core is healthy. So, welcome home, to the land of unlimited freshness.
I’m Siberian Mexican American 😝🇲🇽❤️🇷🇺❤️🇺🇸
Marriage takes a lot of work no matter where you are from. Most western men seeking women in Eastern Europe/Russia do so for the exact reasons you stated. Eastern women tend not to let themselves go to seed after they marry. The rest of these guys think that Eastern women don't care if the man is over 40, bald and morbidly obese, which I find hilarious because physical attraction works both ways boys. I would love to travel to Russia because I love the culture and were my mother's family is from.
this is true!
@@Wild-Siberia I tried to explain this to a friend of mine back in the 1990's when they were wild with it. "Dude, she is Russian, not blind!😗😗😁
Thank you for posting these videos with both of your opinions on various topics.
I hope you know that anyone who is a decent person would not hold the actions of the government against the citizens of that country no matter what country they live in.
I live in the US and am a veteran of the US Navy and I regularly correspond with Russian citizens on Facebook. We belong to an international motorcycle group and that common interest bridges political gaps.
None of us completely agree with everything that our respective governments do.
Live in peace, always love, never give up on your dreams, life is too short, and you only get one life, make the best of it 😊
Did you ever get lucky meeting Ksenia! She has taught you so much about her amazing country. I hope you solve all issues and get married next year. (Even Brits say that Americans are loud but they are not as loud as Germans!).
You two are such lovely people guys ❤ keep cool, you have beautiful souls and that's all that matters ❤ big Love ❤
Thank you so much!! Thanks really for your kindness
I just found your channel. Love it so far!!. I am American but have recently discovered my Russian/Ukrainian heritage. The accent is one thing that always intrigues Americans, there are certain ways native Russian speakers say English wrong but it sounds so cute. I have been talking to a girl from St. Petersberg for awhile but with sanctions (no direct flights anymore) and finances I am unable to make it over there to meet her. BTW Ksenia is beautiful. One lucky man!!
my friend it’s easy to get to Russia and Americans have the best visa rights with Russia
My favorite channel!
Thank you for all the support you’ve given us honestly you’re invited to the wedding 🤌🏻
Молодцы. Совет да любовь!
🙏🏻
About papers from US: you not only have to get the certificate of absence of marriage in US, but also have to legalize it by getting an apostille on that certificate in accordance with The Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. And It is possible to legalize a document only within the country of document origin. Oh, and Russia do not accept electronic apostilles, only the one made on paper with proper signs and seals. And after that you need to do a notary translation of all this in Russia.
all correct which is why I’ll be back 😔
Ksenia is an intelligent beautiful calm woman.
You have done well Daniel.😊.Best wishes and Gods love to you both
🤝🏻🙏🏻 thank you
We like Russian women because they still see man is the one that needs to care and protect and take the role and women is still women and not trying to be the man. Russian women is still women and real man respect and love that. ( Just hope it can stay that way and not go with the flow in other parts of the world)❤ Russian women!
Ohhhhh you're practicing your editing skills? or you found someone to do it for you? Very nice addition to the video.
The topic was amazing ♥
I am very sorry for treats, for me Russian is doing the Gods work, protecting religion, fighting against globalists and imperialists.
Im just doing the same things I do editing nothing changed
Ahhhhhhh it's finally going to happen
Onee Chan x Onii Chan ❤😂😅
My fiance (4yrs, met in Brooklyn), is from Novosibirsk, I visited 1 month September-2021. Olesia is always afraid of the cold, even in July in New York City.
I was in Yekaterinberg in June 2012. Lots of young beautiful skinny white women wearing short dresses and stilettos. Easy to understand the attraction by western man. I met an American in Moscow whose ex wife was Russian and dated many Russians. He told me many were gold diggers and the society is corrupt from top down to bottom up.
You Kids are working it out.. Traveling and having fun.. Keep up the good work.. You are like Ambassadress for Russia and Americans to get along.. (especially during these war times)..
Thanks for the support we will be traveling soon
