    The New Years holidays is a big celebration in Russia, and there is a ton of entertainment and shows being produced around the Christmas season. One good example is an annual show "Goluboi Ogonek", which has been running since the USSR days. This year, however, the show took a massive turn: instead of being good family fun, it became Russian propaganda: the show was a compilation of Russian propaganda music (by SHAMAN our beloved), "patriotic" speeches, distasteful jokes about Ukraine and overall turned into a Z fever dream. In today's video we are going to react to the 2023 Russian New Years TV show and see how a family holiday is being used to push the Z agenda. Smash like and subscribe for more!

    As an American who has been studying Russian for years it is very bittersweet to see Solovyov dancing to Zelenskiy singing. You're spot on in saying this is the Russia we lost. I really wanted to visit Ukraine too and figured knowing Russian would help. Now they don't want to speak Russian and the ones who speak it as a first language are starting to switch to Ukrainian. Russia could be so cool if only they let their people be free. They make badass rap music and their gov just censors it when they could use it to make people love Russia. Such a shame.

      @subhankarbaral9236 Před rokem +13

      The thing is Russia needs massive introspection, about itself and it's views on how they see the world. First of all, you need to understand that Russia suffered worst due to Mongolian, French, Swedish and Nazi Germans to develop an extreme paranoia with the belief that the world is out there to colonize and enslave Russia because of its extensive resources, many of them still not discovered.
      So, while the Baltics joined NATO out of their own will, Russia sees it as NATO encroaching near their boundaries. That's why, it keeps threatening Baltics to somehow make Baltics fear for their safety.
      So, I don't know what can be done to get Russia out of that paranoia because increasing NATO deployment actually didn't help to secure Russian regional security concerns.
      Second, people really don't realize that while West is busy in liberating Ukraine, Russia actually is increasing its presence in Arctic. Recent reports show Russia deploying nuclear class submarines and ships posing as ice-cutters there. In short, Russia pretty much controls Arctic. The real war is actually coming and it will be over Arctic.

As Elie Wiesal said "Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
      Once any so-called Russian opposition develops backbone and acts in a similar manner to Iranian schoolgirls perhaps the west will recognise there is indeed some opposition within Russian.

She died six years ago now and I'm glad she doesn't have to see this... This would have broken her... Our family has broken apart due to some people eating up all that Z bullshit...

      A rather strange and self-deprecating position. When a citizen of any country says that "thank you to everyone outside my country that does not treat me like shit," it sounds ridiculous, because initially there are no prerequisites for this, unless the person himself is shit. It is quite difficult for a normal Russian to be in Georgia now. I was there on vacation in the summer, and Georgia has changed a lot, prices have increased enormously, the attitude towards Russians has become lower than the baseboard (if compared with what it was a year or two ago). A rather strange attitude towards people who want to relax or live there, spend their money there, but to hear rudeness and dislike. Neighboring Turkey and Azerbaijan are still more comfortable in this regard (cheaper and quieter), not everywhere, but still.

      @@GrantW01 -7c to -10c in Helsinki today.. though, I had to dial down the thermostat because we're on municipal central heating so it's good to save some energy for someone else.. it's hot enough as it is. The hot water comes from the coal power plants, they circulate the excess heat through the city that works as a heatsink.. much cheaper than electric heating. If you have electric heating the indirect water circulation system is "better" because you can heat up the water in night time when electricity is cheapest. If you have direct heating you only store the heat in the air inside the building but it's not nearly as efficient as storing the heat in liquid.
      A heat pump (aka. air conditioner) is slightly more efficient since you are not converting electricity into heat but transferring it, funny fact: even if it is -20c outside, there is still heat you can transfer to inside with the heat pump. The cheapest (to operate) is to drill a deep hole.. then pump the heat from underground, the ground is already positive temperatures 2m deep.. but deeper hole, more heat.. just pump it out of the ground and heat your house. Drilling that hole plus equipment will cost 40-50k euros, though..

    Hey young fella, you've got a subscriber for yourself here.
    I'm from Kyrgyzstan, and by extension have this "russian part of me", you got the idea. We grew up reading russian literature, watching all the stuff that you guys watch in Russia. When we were young and dumb teenagers we used to be huge fans of Brigada show. Every friends circle would have one Sasha bely, Kosmos, Muxa etc. It was so sad for me to realize that pretty much all of the russian media personi that we used to like and look up to, turned out to be spineless whores of putin's regime. But the other day I found out that Smolyaninov from the Brigade is a decent guy and had balls to speak up and even actively plays is anti-war clips etc. So, it was nice to see that not all is lost. And likewise, young guys like you also give me hope that maybe we (as in, culturally russian people), will have enough manpower to pull our people out of this shithole mentality when they get unplugged from the Matrix.
    Keep up the good work, brother! Big bear hugs to you, and stay safe wherever you are. (and please don't freeze to death if god forbid you're not in russia right now lol )

Central Asia states are adjacent to Russia and China and there will be no forthcoming western aid if they were to invade. In addition, poor countries like the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan are still reliant on worker remittances from Russia. Ukraine is make great and brave strides, but its location is infinitely better and it has a history of "otherness".

      Even in my country I meet people that should know better but somehow believe Ukraine is the bad guy. They say "there are no good guys". (Okay, if there are no goodguys then are there no badguys?) They complain about Zelensky getting person of the year, about all the money going to Ukraine (well it aint going to Afghanistan anymore now is it?), and saying "there are no good-guys". These people have conservative convictions that are unfortunately turned to the wills of others (pundits and putin) that pretend to have the same values. Conservatism here struggles to not suffocate on the hard pushed liberal propaganda ideology the six ( I know, only six right?) media companies and academia/scientific community, so conservatives flock to anybody that is anti SGW or anti LGBT or anti woke. Unfortunately that also includes genuine Kremlin shills it seems. People that don't have the genuine love of God in their hearts. Maybe they see themselves (maybe because of Iraq and Afghanistan) in all the Russian propagandists that will be tried at the Hague.

      I personally felt it had a “the military is watching” vibe. Like a precursor to martial law. It was hard to watch. The military was in control and tonight we were watching old patriotic crap songs. And why was the champagne so clear? No drinking either I guess.

    Thanks for explaining that Zelenski was on that 2013 clip because I have Prosopagnosia(Face blindness) and I honestly wouldn't have recognized him on my own dude. Just felt like saying this because it's a thing I'm dealing with in life and I really appreciate you pointing this out, thanks.

    Roman, really love your videos :) although the reality you are presenting from Russia is scary as f***. All of them: tv, propaganda, concerts organized over there remind me of communist Romania...and we all know how that ended on a Christmas Eve... Getting back to nowadays: this was a warm winter also for us, but gas was not a problem here as we have our own resources mostly. Just subscribed and still have plenty to watch on your channel!

      He was the first song after Putin's message on new year, and song was such a fat piece of propaganda it was rediculous lol, my parents only watch Russian TV on NY and sure enough this guy was in there, it was quite an obscure experience.

    I especially like the heating museum "joke": There is actually already a "heating museum" in Vienna. It shows the history of heating and how complicated, big and dirty heating used to be. Sometimes also beautiful, with elaborate stoves custom built for restaurants etc. but it mostly shows the advancements made in heating in order to have a cleaner, more efficient and more climate friendly society. And, yes, the plan already was that in the future gas boilers will only have its place in museums like that, to show the outdated historical heating methods and their shortcomings. Thanks to Putin this time will now come faster.

    I am helping Ukrainian refugees in my home town in the Netherlands with learning Dutch. Having studied in Russia about 10 years ago, this is so painful to see. I have heard such harrowing stories about what Russian forces have done in Ukraine. I really hope these naZis will be driven out of Ukraine AND Russia after that. Такой ты молодец, Роман. Всего тебе хорошего!

      As a ukranian who has been living in Italy all my life, i got an opportunity to help my ukranians people and teach their kids italian and help them to adopt to the italian culture and environment. This was actually pretty nice for both me and them, since they liked it.... but what i found interesting is that even kids from eastern ukraine, like donetsk and mariupol are pretty much patriotic, all of them were patriotic, they would sing songs and the ukranian hymn daily.... even i am not as patriotic as them (even tho they were the same age as me when i first came to italy) still this is pretty interesting, this war has united ukranians more than ever...
