Rural Russians name a country they DON'T like:

Hi Daniil , may I suggest a question😊, it would be interesting to ask what country people would like to visit if they had an opportunity or would they like to travel, where and why ? 😅 I think it would be extremely interesting to see if this way of asking could elicit different answers from people 😊I’m very curious, what are your thoughts ? I Think your channel is phenomenal by the way!!
After watching this it’s no surprise how they act in Ukraine most seem like the walking dead….. Why do they think Russia is great if they have not been anywhere??
мне самому страшно от таких людей и заброшенных сел, во времена СССР строили заводы, фермы и вокруг них появлялись деревни как "село образующие" когда СССР развалился а предприятия закрылись это по сути брошенные территории на которых зачем то остались люди, кое где там есть газ, центральное водоснабжение есть. но во многие домах не проведено, живут в основном пенсионеры и деградирующие алкоголики не вполне похожие на людей_)) и таких сел с населением 1000-3000 человек полно
Ask people what they think about Slovakia.
@@domagojcelic3987 I think Russians treat Slovaks like brothers.
at least they treat the Slovaks better than they treat the Poles.
and the flag of Slovakia is very beautiful for Russians, hahahaha.
The lady saying: "I've never been abroad, but I know, our Russia, its better." Sums up this videos tone pretty well.
@Iron Man Do they look like they can afford it?
Almost all the people in this video are uneducated and poor people living in a Russian well, croaking how good the well is,
while the more learned people in cities like Moscow are educated and rich enough to go around the world and know how much better it is outside the well
@Iron Man Do any of them have 1000$ or 1000€ in their pockets? No insult but look at their appearance… 😅
A few hundred years later, they will be looking at 1420 videos to study how the Russian Federation collapsed
The Russian peasant are even more stupid than the trump mob
Russia is a huge country. Their time zones span 11 hours... and 11 decades.
11/10 - spot on!
Your arrogance is perverse. Just because you live in a richer society it means nothing.
These same opinions were given after Bush invaded Iraq in rural upstate NY.
Decades? You mean centuries, surely. People in this dump live like it’s the Middle Ages.

This village is like a time warp. I've never seen anyone carry buckets of water like that.
A lot of developing countries have wells - good form is to solely have a water bucket for collecting - that is use to fill containers/buckets that people bring - bad form is throwing buckets in water that are dirty on the outside. Their is a huge advantage to water collecting - the community of the well - easy way to met all in your village in a natural way . So less lonely people. All these wells are protected from outside - some countries with less resources will concrete around well on ground surface
@@nimblegoat most of those countries didn't have 45,000 nuclear weapons two generations ago
@@LOLHAMMER45678 Yeah I get your point - for a resource rich country like Russia, or Iran, Iraq etc etc - their people could all be well off middleclass . Russia squandering itself in Ukraine is not new - Spain's wealth from Inca gold , Bolivian Silver was squandered in no time - including war with England etc
You haven’t been or seen many developing countries still in many parts people walk like this daily to get water in a bucket . Till this day many countries.
I would say that almost 70% of the population of earth (might be more or less) is living like "that".
I am originally from Bosnia. From a small poor village. Since I have been living in Austria, I have become aware of how poor Bosnia actually is. But when I was in Russia in 2018, also in the rural area, I only realised how good we actually have it in Bosnia. No running water, no sanitary facilities, no sewage system. Russia is rich, but also so poor.
The oligarchs are rich.
Moscow and St. Petersburg are rich, that's centuries old tradition
Russia may be rich, as Norway! Guess what is the difference. It takes to much time to count them all. Culture, mindset, education,....most important not a Kremlin Gangster Mafia reinvesting in "Mega-Yachts" (that were acutally built in Germany, thx for that btw) and endless grift. The Norway State Pension Fund is the wealthiest one in the world. Just imagine were Ruzzia could be...they would not need fight a war...people would line up to become citizens!!!
But this actual Ruzzia just needs to be stopped, at all cost, with ALL MEANS!!
@@lg3org3 thats what i mean. Rich of oil and gas, but the oligarchs steal all the money
@@jknezevic95 Thats the funny thing, the oligarchs are hand picked from Putin and kick the money back ... The "Oligarchs" are rich from the countries natural resources which are front for Putin, hes literally been stealing from the country in quantity you cant imagine.
Honestly reminds me of some of the rural areas of Michigan (my home), both in their clear dilapidation and in that they're filled with people who are convinced nowhere else is better in the world. I think everyone is better off hearing from others around the world, even perspectives you may not know or enjoy, and that's why I love your channel!
Thank you for being honest - Americans are in the comments "shocked" at how people in rural areas (which are significantly poorer in every country in the world - all of them) are patriotic. This is found in every country in the world. Rural areas always have been and always will be more conservative/traditional and therefore patriotic. I am sure in rural Michigan you will find exact answers like this replaced with USA instead of Russia. But they act so shocked this is possible and think it's "brainwashing"
I mean, when you see the conditions these people live in, can you really be surprised by their answers? I can't say I'd care much for foreign countries if I were born into a situation like this
I come from a rural area too (not Russia) and people especially old people are like this too
Yeahh, they live in purity, never been abroad, and they say that their country is the best....
raral latinos are so sweet and very kind
They don't seem miserable. They seem to like their simple rural lifestyle.
@@poorsvids4738 Because they do not know life in another countries. They think that their life one of the best in the world..
This is probably the best/ most mind-blowing 1420 video ive ever seen
I love the brilliant logic. They say on the one hand that they have never been abroad but on the other hand they know without a doubt that Russia is the best.
@@asmael666 ...while taking water from a well. Russia is the best
All they hear about foreign countries comes from Russian state propaganda. That's all they think they need and care to know.

I’m from Poland and we all know how it looks like in Russia but watching this really breaks my heart.
Those people could have had really better life if not for corruption.
It all looks sad and grey but you must notice how beautiful the architecture of some of the houses is.
Once again, thanks for showing the truth Danill.
Greetings from Poland
So sad and depressing. Peasants.
Always grey weather.
Nice you Saw that. There Must have Been better and Brighter days there

It's the alcohol that's the key. Perhaps their government prefers that they are perpetually drunk but widespread Fetal Alcohol Syndrome produces a population that wants to murder, pillage and rape because they are physiologically incapable of self control.
You have a level of courage to do this. Keep doing the good work out there
amazingly great journalism 👍
That drunk guy at the end man... drinking because all his friends are gone. And volunteering because he has nothing left. I feel for him
Drinking is the way of life in these villages. Regardless where friends are.
Death in Ukraine will be a blessing for him. Will put an end to a meaningless existence in hopeless poverty.
Russians should worship Putin. He found the fastest and most effective way to bring people out of the darkness of a miserable existence on the sidelines of civilization.
Yeah, it truly is remarkably sad :/ A people, without hope, without dreams, without purpose, mentally imprisoned, by their own government and society. And now they're being sent to slaughter by reasons they don't even know.
yep he'd be drinking anyways, especially when you have to fetch your own water, alcohol is less work.
Becoming recruited into military is a standard way to try and get out into the world in such poor far away circumstances.
Rural Russia is like a time warp.
The juxtaposed position of the people filling water buckets from a well, yet saying Russia is the best place is something to behold. I’m practically lost for words. And the drunk at the end volunteering to go to the front, kind of sums up Russia.
Потому что для нас счастье не в деньгах как на западе, это деревенские люди благодарят за всё. Впрочем, чего у них нет? Дома? Одежды? Еды? А что ещё нужно? Машины? Дворцы? Золотые туалеты? Как говорил Господь - "Трудно войти богатому в Царство Божие".

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, thank you so much. You are just great. You are so cool to do all these interviews that are so different from each other.
I've lived and seen every part, region of Turkey, from the biggest cities like Istanbul to some villages without electricity and running water. I've also lived in Poland for a while. So from all that experience I can say ignorance is really a bliss. The more opportunities and the bigger the cities, there were always more complains and sadness. I'm not saying these people live the life they deserve of course not. I feel really bad for them because they don't get to live their lives fully. But I will say, in those towns where there was no electricity and water, the smallest things made people's lives. I remember I had a basketball and invited the kids from the town to play, I've never seen happier people in my life. I hope these people could also experience those small things at least. Love from Turkey to all those people.
Спасибо вам за сочувствие этому народу, мне больно видеть,как живёт мой народ и не способен понять всю горечь своего положения
These guys couldn't look more miserable.
To understand Russians ,you have to read their history and climate in the deep, resilience runs in their blood.
Fascinating to see how different rural Russia is to the cities. Almost a totally different country/culture
those he interviewed aren't even Russian, they're Chuvash, but yeah
Almost a totally different era. The Middle Ages are alive and well in rural Russia.
@@dajdasdq Is Chuvashia not in Russia?
@@dayglodoggy it is, unfortunately.
@@dayglodoggy The Chuvash Republic, or Chuvashia, is a federal subject of Russia in Eastern Europe. It is the homeland of the Chuvash people, a Turkic ethnic group. Its capital is the city of Cheboksary. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 1,251,619.Wikipedia

My favourite episode, the interviewer did well not to laugh. They are all very patriotic and love their motherland but it looks like a village from a horror film
Horror film 😊
Yeah, I'm sure I visited this village in Half Life 2 or something
I don't think I would feel like laughing in that situation. This is one of the most depressing videos I've ever seen.
That's not cool, they are good people and that is their home!
I wouldn’t call them patriots of Russia, because Chuvashia is literally a colony of Russia, so they have their language, their traditions, but they have to live under rules of Russia. They even have to go to become murderers and die in the senseless war.
I appreciate this video from an entertainment point of view. This was amazing, please do more ❤
"Nothing beats Russia!"
*Proceeds to cart water from a well like medieval peasants*
Seeing this makes me feel so grateful to live in my country in the times we are now. Our villages and general life in Estonia had conditions and looked pretty much the same like in this video, when we were under USSR. If you go to these rural areas in Estonia today, after we have been independent again for 31 years, there are new roads everywhere, street lights, roads for pedestrians, houses that have been renovated and have working water and electricity systems and activities for people to do besides drinking away their misery. Citizens can apply to get financial support for the work they need to do on their households etc. Until you go/visit elsewhere or have access to see and hear the possibilities and rights that you should have, you cant even wish or require them and you will just blindly accept the minimum your manipulative ruler is feeding you.
So happy for Baltic countries to be truly freed from communist regime and hidden soviets in the government... Russia nowadays is still totally overwhelmed with soviet remnants who found a new 'russian' identity but actually just keep making our lives miserable and it just drives me insane. To look at these rural people for example, living in the worst damn poverty you could imagine and still keeping Communist party' flags. Guys, cmon, these are the symbols of people who made you to live THIS life... Hope someday we'll also be able to successfully tear down all these fuckers in the government and clear ourselves from the soviet and current bullshit we're having. Sorry for the longread.
Greets from Moscow
Wow, this is strange to read, considering that Estonia was one of the most funded regions in the Soviet Union. My grandparents were in one of these regions, while in the rest of the Soviet Union there was a shortage of almost all goods, in their opinion, "there shelves were bursting with a choice of products and other things," but maybe they lived so badly. You were very right.
Estonia and the rest of the Baltic states have 0 natural resources, minuscule populations and territory and yet look at them now. And up to this day many Russians claim that these countries would have been broke if not for the USSR... more like they would be already on par with neighbouring Finland. It's enough to have a glance over the minimum/average wages in these countries as compared to Russia to get an idea of why size does not matter.
@@crocolagerfelden6142
It's the fault of the Russian mentality that doesn't strive for improvement but instead the destruction of those who do improve. An almost completely irredeemable culture tbh. A dead end of human civilization.
@@crocolagerfelden6142 It's so sad to look at it, because Russia could be really developed and technologically advanced, but my people are used to living in bad conditions and under a bloody dictator. Most of them are also terribly lazy and "apolitical". I hope that all this will end someday, people will wake up and realize what they have done, and something will change in their mentality

It’s fascinating to see how rural people live and their attitudes in modern Russia, probably not much has changed in their living conditions for decades. My only visit to Russia (actually the former USSR) was in the early-mid-1980s when I took the International Train from Beijing to Moscow, where I spent several days, then the onward train to London from Hook of Holland, passing through Poland, the former East Germany (passing through East then West Berlin - what a contrast!), then West Germany and on into the Netherlands. What struck me most when passing through the USSR, we joined the trans-Siberian at Ulan Ude, was the absence of paved roads in most of the villages the train passed through and even some of the larger towns/cities where the train stopped only had a few paved roads in central areas near the railway station. It was only in the section from Moscow to the Polish border that there were more paved roads in villages/towns we passed through, although even there were mostly unpaved roads. I was particularly interested by a remark from one of your interviewees about successes of the USSR military mentioned Afghanistan amongst them - well that is certainly a ‘novel’ interpretation of what happened there, as indeed it would be for my own country (the UK, I am British) in the last 150 years and more recently the US/UK and western allies in Afghanistan too, no foreign power/army has ever succeeded except very temporarily in subduing far less conquering that country. What is particularly interesting in your video interviews is both how patriotic most people are (most people in western countries are too), but how ignorant most seem to be about the world outside Russia (or the former USSR) and how the media/propaganda to which they have access colours their views. Also how hard their lives are, specially older people who have mostly never seen or even imagined anything much different.
I come from Italy and I have travelled there extensively. If you would go ask these same questions in a remote, impoverished village in southern Italy, they would all make a list of countries and places that are better and immediately point out all of the problems of village. All of this despite them having sewers, running water, electricity, roads, and being much more advanced compared to this russian village. If these people were to actually understand how poor they are and how rich Moscow is, and how much better off Russia could be, they would revolt immediately. I guess ignorance is bliss
They know how rich Moscow is - it's rammed up their nose on TV and in the papers(photos and text).
Ciao, vengo dalla Russia, ho iniziato da poco a imparare l'italiano. Com'è ora in Italia, probabilmente difficile in questo momento?

@@robertlund5694 then why do they accept this? Moscow and Saint Petersburg are rich because all the wealth of this huge country is concentrated there. The people living where the resources that make Moscow rich are extracted live in poverty, while Moscovites are rich because of poor peoples work
@@user-rh1er8fb4z difficile in che senso? Le bollette sono alte, ma per il resto non è più difficile rispetto ad altri tempi. In Italia le persone si lamentano sempre, ma credo si viva bene. L'unico problema sono i salari bassi e il costo della vita alto. Per il resto non ci si può lamentare. Se hai un buon lavoro vivi meglio che in Germania, secondo me. Adesso si trova lavoro facilmente ma purtroppo non è ben pagato. Spero che verrai presto in Italia :)
I always wondered what would happen if you had a time machine and gave people living in the 18th century a TV.
Rural Russia seems to come close.
The people in europe in the 18th century lived arguably better lives. The workload was harder for sure, but they didn't drown their human spirit in vodka to distract themselves from their bad living conditions. No they tried to improve them.
Russians instead of improving themselves seem to have this mentality to make others as miserable as themselves instead.
That's why they're destined to fail, even if they succeeded in destroying everyone who's more prosperous than themselves.

No running water in a village in a rich country in 2022? "It's better to be silent" from the elderly woman who's going to have to carry her water to her house. "I've been drinking 5 days in a row, blyat!" from the man who's going to volunteer for the army.
Mind blown
Now imagine being a boy from one of these villages or migrant towns in February with sick or eldery parents and no future. They come and tell you they will pay you 1,000 euros a month to be on a 3-6 month contract and just have to do some training in Belarus or guard the checkpoint in south of Russia. Next thing you know you are in a BMP in ukraine being shelled by artiliary you knew nothing about and seeing bodies and limbs flying everywhere.

I’m not telling you that nobody supports Putin, no. People do, but many MANY people are afraid to say something against our government. The reason why you see mostly people who supports Putin in these interviews, is that they (the supporters) are NOT afraid to speak for obvious reasons. And the others are. But if you live in Moscow, trust me, you are always surrounded by different points of view and yes we do have independent media (that is beeing oppresed all the time) and many liberal young and not-so-young people!

The home was from about 1900, but had been upgraded with electricity, well with electric pump, indoor plumbing, etc. Her neighbors were good people who would look out for each other. No drunks were seen on the street or nearby town. Rural life can be a nice way to live. Although it does limit your exposure to other countries, foreigners, technology, cultures, etc. With the mobilization, Russia appears to be echoing The Hunger Games, where people from the poor districts must offer up their children to die, while the rich in Moscow and Saint Petersburg enjoy their luxuries like plumbing.
@@milkman713 *patpat* yes grandpa, time to go to bed and stop ranting about these damn democrats that are the ones saying it used to be normal for a single working man to take care of his whole family :3.
Not gonna lie. Since Reagan, you guys had a serious downfall '-'.
@@milkman713 I think you are talking about Appalachia. And the Democrats are trying to help the less fortunate. The Corporations (sponsors of the GOP) are the ones who have sent business to China and the GOP are trying to protect their sponsors by trying to blame it all on the Dems. Meanwhile they are also trying to stop you from voting, because they don't believe in majority rule. The only ones who talk about civil war are the Trumpists.

I agree, the poor young men are just fodder for the russian army and putin, u wont c university students or young men in good jobs in the army, sooo sad ,
The 'Hunger Games' analogy is very insightful.

Ye no wtf are you talking😭😭russia is a huge country with barely any communication to the east there are people in siberia who still think the czar is still in power meanwhile america has the largest network of telecommunication lines on the planet💀💀 plus most people in the US aren't native and there families have usually immigrated from other countries

This video is art
We are starting to get people like that too here in Australia
Sometimes I watch these and think our values and priorities in life aren’t so different. Then I watch ones like this and just stare in disbelief for 9 minutes.
Please keep them coming
Sometimes I watch US movies and tv series from the sixties and seventies, or even from just twenty years ago, and recognize the values, ideas and sensibiblities in those: they're overlapping with our own northern European culture, Then I watch people who fanatically believe in Donald Trump or who are busy defending him, turning reality inside out to protect the ideas they share, and I'm just gaping in disbelief (at least that's my first reaction). Then I know we have nothing in common with what America seems to have become.
@@louise_rose Yes yes, Americans are well aware that Europeans are taught from a very early age to hate the US and that it, not China, not Russia, is the great evil in the world. You come here to visit, you have a wonderful vacation, many of you immigrate here, but then you still return to Europe spewing you hatred for all things America. It's not the US slaughtering Ukrainians, but instead saving them. And you have your own versions of Donald Trump right on your doorsteps in Hungary, Poland, Italy etc...but just like the deluded uneducated people in this video, you still hate America.
Why the disbelief? Lol
In America there are people like this specially in rural areas
@@louise_rose WHOA THERE Louise. Dial it back a bit. In case you didn't notice, the INTELLIGENT portion of the US kicked his sorry butt out, in a BIG way. But yes, the disbelief part, totally with you. Frankly, I don't see all that many governments of the world looking very smart right now. Come visit America, I can guarantee it isn't what you think it is. There's good and bad though, no doubt, just like everywhere else. And Tramp was a freakin embarrassment. He almost turned this country into a total piece of crap.
@@MrJdsenior Yes, it is about disbelief! America is a great nation in so many ways and I'm quite aware that Trump was legally booted out in a free, fair and safe election two years ago - also, that most of the candidates he backed this time around *lost* in their states to sane democrats. Amen to that! It's about disbelief, anger and shock for me too - I personally don't have to live with friends and family who believe in Trump or see him wrecking the politics of my own country (Sweden), but watching his clownish government and the folks who seem to buy into everything he says and does, even from the other side of the ocean, was still disturbing (I'll admit the show was sometimes very entertaining too, but I never lost sight of how dangerous the guy is). This is not what we expected the US to be. I hope the country still can recover over time.
The hard lesson of the 2020 election, I think, is that around 30% of those who are likely to vote in the US are completely fine with a POTUS who behaves, talks and make policies like Trump, who is as racist and sneering at the idea of judicial safety, legal propriety and the right to have good. working courts as he is, who is as waist deep into corruption as he is. They don't really care as long as it's their guy and they feel he embodies their hope for a "re-WASPed America". And they would bet on a new guy in that vein even after Trump is gone.
I agree many governments all around the western world are looking dodgy and less than smart over the last decade (my own country included).

Awesome work my friend. Maybe mention China next time if you could?😅 thanks!
Wow what images..its like a different world to me.
This is how Ukraine was in my rural village back when I was little. Now 20 years later almost all the younger people have traveled to Europe and work there and come back to rebuild in Ukraine. Its almost insane how quickly the culture has changed in less than a generation.
And no wonder ukrainians dont want the russians back in power to turn back the clock 20 years
Rebuild Ukraine? Where? In Kiev or Odessa? Ukranian cities and villiges not much better.
@@karinaivankova4099 hi there Vladolf Putler ZZZombie
I'm looking forward to seeing Ukraine become as prosperous and integrated as the rest of Europe after the war. It's going to get drowned in western cash investment and become one of the best places to live in the world.
And sadly, over the border I suspect pocket scenes of grinding 1930s style poverty will continue to exist due to 0 political will to ever change it. Russians coming to Ukraine in the future will arrive like barbarians gawping in wonder at the gates of Rome.
ahahahahahhahahah ципсо тобой гордится
In the 1990s I was travelling through Russia. Nothing has changed in the rural areas, no development. Greetings from Austria
I get the feeling nothing has changed in rural Russia since the 1890's.
естественно,всё развитие идет в крупные города
@@Onnarashi From 1990s - maybe yes, but definitely not from 1890s, then there would be no electricity in this village, but there is
@@F_A_F123 If you have electricity, a submersible well pump is cheap. Every rural house around me has one in their own well. I don't think they have reliable electricity.
@@skyrider2515 Cities attract more investment everywhere in the world compared to the countryside yet I have not seen anything as deprived as this, at least not in Europe.
This looks like that Resident Evil 4 village.
The absence of curiosity is astonishing!
Fuck, this was hard to watch. These villages are soo eerie, like time never changes; a german ww2 soldier popping into view would have not seemed out of place.
Thats also a good excuse why there is no running water. The last division of german ww2 soldiers ambushed their construction convoy.
Or a Napoleontic soldier... a Tatar or a Mongol.

I live in Csnada and was shocked to see how these people live. No running water, sewage systems,mud roads and the number of drunks. It makes me feel very fortunate for what I have. The thing that shocked me the most was the blind love they have for a country that obviously dosen't give a damn about them. They remind me of zombies. I feel bad for them.
lol, they are literally ZZZombies. The next Zombie movie should simply film life there.
The shittier the country/leader is, the more fanatical the compensational 'love' for it
Orcs perhaps? I completely understand why Ukrainians have started calling them Orcs. You could take these people off the street and wouldn't have to teach them a thing and they could absolutely nail the part of playing the Orcs in Lord of the Rings.
You could pay them in VODAK
If they are trapped there, it would make them depressed if they thought about how bad they live. So they don't want to admit it
One word - wow.
I think this is the first video from you guys that’s actually made me cry. I don’t need to say more, the film says it all.
What? Why??
@@vule656 I can relate. They took that mindset from their parents who took the mindset from their grand parents. To most of them how and where they live now there is no way out to broaden the horizon. If you have any empathy it makes you kind of sad. I can even have empathy with people who seemingly don't feel or cannot feel or show empathy. It's just such a waste.

Моя родная деревня. Очень грустно видеть. Автору большой респект!
Почему грустно?
Наверное, грустно из-за того, насколько плоха ситуация. В других странах условия жизни (даже в сельской местности) намного лучше, чем в этой русской деревне. Также печально, что эти люди ослеплены националистической ложью или слишком боятся говорить то, во что верят.

That's how i want to grow old. Not like a drunk frustrated alcoholic.
Wow, speechless. This is some amazing content. Very depressing though. Now I understand why Russian guys from these areas go to fight in my country - because they have nothing better in their life, they have nothing to lose. And obviously they would steal as much as they can. Hard to believe in this stuff in the 21st century, but it’s true. Didn’t realize how much better off than these areas we were in Ukraine until the war had started. What a contrast. I really don’t want to see these guys roaming around my hometown Odessa though.

Those people are only self sufficient to a degree, if they're cutt off from their surrounding villages and a really bad and long winter comes knocking they'll starve as well. After a really bad catastrophe they'll probably even suffer more than us simply because they lack ressources and the connection to other places .

When the Soviet Union was, we had everything we needed, and when you and your shit democracy destroyed our country, created discord between nations
@@user-fl1ij9ic6n I am sorry to inform you, but it was your own people who made the "democracy" after the fall of USSR so shit by making an autocracy instead. You all let USSR happen in the first place, then you let USSR fall and you let Yeltsin to make mockery of democratic parliament, Putin and his mafia do whatever they want (take away more of your freedoms, democratic principles, etc.) by still not caring about politics and giving him too much power over you. You all are to blame.
Seen from the point of view of Russians and the pre-1991 economy, the end of the Soviet Union meant losing half the population of the country, half the base of working people, taxpayers, the domestic market etc. They lost much of the best farmland of the country too. On top of all that, there was a chaotic series of crashes during the 1990s when doctrinary neo-liberal "experts" were brought in to "reform the Russian economy".
I can assure you, if the US had been forced through those kinds of changes, with Texas, Cali and the western pacific states seceding and turned their backs on the "rump USA", which had practically gone bust, then a *lot* of US towns, farms and industries would have gone bust in the process too, and you would have seen massive decay in many places (including the sainted but expensive US military and your cherished navy!),
And the answer to this is not "Meh, we're simply the best, the US can never go bust or be shaken by serious convulsions".
Can anyone tell me what the flag says @3:14 please? I'm assuming it has something to do for Soviet era support with the hammer and sicle - ?
