  • Vladimir Putin came to power as Russian millennials were coming into the world. Everything they know about their homeland has been shaped by Putin’s authoritarian regime. Some revere him. But others long for democratic change.
    Boris Yeltsin stood down as the first President of the Russian Federation on New Year’s Eve 1999, just hours before the millennial celebrations began. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin stepped in as caretaker president and pledged to protect freedom of speech and the press and property rights. Since then, Putin has consolidated his grip on Russia and his promises have become just empty words.
    More and more Russians, particularly the young, are opposed to Putin’s authoritarian regime. Even though they have only ever known the former KGB officer as their leader, like their counterparts in the West, they have access via the Internet to information that is suppressed in the Russian media.
    This film asks young people from St. Petersburg to Eastern Siberia how they feel about life in today’s more powerful yet also more unstable country. Some are fanatical Putin supporters, while others are opposition activists. We look behind the barbed wire around a closed Siberian city, visit a Muslim village in Tatarstan, and talk to young Muscovites. And we also see how the Russian education system instils children with the regime’s propaganda from an early age.

    So sad Kamilla thinks that she's been bullied because she's the bulliable type. Nobody has the right of bullying.
    It's not her fault. She's swimming against the tide. She's the kind of human that eventually changes the world. Be brave dear, many of us look for people like you just to get the strenght to carry on.

      She seems like the type that would, sadly, be bullied in any country. She’s a shy, bookish looking tomboy with intellectual interests typical of someone twice her age. In high school aged kids, those are not popular traits.

      @Candi How the hell do you know if she’s being bullied. The vast majority of people in the west don’t teach young children anything about LGBTQ. It’s just a myth the right wing in every country uses to try and scare the masses. Their evidence is usually from some expensive school in an ultra liberal enclave with a crazy SJ streak in their curriculum. But 95% of kids aren’t getting that stuff. It is true though that the LGBTQ community has a disproportionately loud voice in the media and they seem to think everything should be about them. They’ve become a selfish, spoiled and entitled community.

      Sadly it works precisely like that - some kind of personalities (of acting, of behaviour) provoce tension for bullying. I am not supporting bullying since I was bullyied myself but it just happens. You need to learn and become able to prevent it, to deflect it and in best to prevent it effectively from happening to others. There is actually even the way on how to bully someone and help him or her to immprove himself or herself, but it's what we call 'vyšší dívčí' :) Like it's kind of an Art and it's neccessary to know what you are doing and to feel your 'victim'. The trick, simply said is precisely in 'stopping being a victim' since it's kinda of mindset.
      And yeah, regimes like that one of Moscovia impose this mindset of bully/victim into minds of it's subjects.

      We have not been gifted with freedom. We take actions to keep freedom. We stand on the achievements of previous generations. Russians removed the royal family and got themselves the Soviet Union, then, they decided the Soviet Union was no good , and changed it , so now they can keep working on change. I am sick of seeing Russians complaining left and right and wherever they go they are proud of being Russians and they replicate the same corrupt, dishonest practices they have in Russia… do they really want change ?, I do not think so. They only want to become rich and engrossing their wealth. Nations like India wanted change and the whole nation managed to drive the mighty British away….
      Russians breed in culture of distrust and dishonesty through out history.

    Wow, what a difference in 'teaching styles', proper teaching is presenting all the available information and letting each person form their own opinions. This guy at 17:50 just says, 'yes you are right, this is what I believe, I expect you to believe and think the same.'
    I've heard similar examples of students being taught at Beijing University where students are told what the material is, told what to think and are never allowed to ask questions even if it is simply because they want to better understand the material they are being shown. Westerners who attend that university are kept away from other students during classes because they will ask questions.

      I grew up in Romania, they tried to indoctrinate us from Kindergarten.
      I went to University in Germany, there were many Chinese students there. I lived in a dorm, every week a shipment of Chinese newspapers came for the Chinese students. You didn't have to read Chinese to understand they were propaganda, you could tell by the pictures.
      The Chinese students were allowed to go to classes, but they were banned from making foreign friends. They were not allowed to go to parties, or take part in other activities that were not related to school, like sports, or trips.
      Every time a new Chinese student moved in the dorm, there were the same people around them. At first I thought they were family members, but I soon realized they were secret police.
      Unfortunately there was a high amount of Chinese students that committed suicide, one almost every month in my university alone. They had to put fences on dorm windows to discourage jumping.

      When I made my paperwork to get my student visa, I was sent to a foreign student organization to get to know the people there, they told me to contact them if I have any questions or issues.
      They told me that 25% of foreign students end up suffering from stress, anxiety or depression, due to the pressure of studying abroad, financial issues, home sickness, etc.
      I have to admit, it did get pretty stressful and lonely, living in a foreign country. Having to study in a foreign language, in a foreign school system is hard, even if you speak the language.
      I ended up asking for a break semester at one point, and went home for a few months.
      So I guess the Chinese students were hit pretty hard, because most of them spoke bad German, they had to take private classes to learn the language first, they had to pay for those classes and for all other expenses, so they had to take a job, if their family wasn't rich.
      They weren't allowed to be friends with non-Chinese students, which made them feel even lonelier.
      I looked it up, apparently suicide is a problem in Chinese universities too.

He is so rich, he won't suffer. You are going to. And it doesn't help, suffering means more hate generated, nothing else.

They tend to hate you, bc they know on a level your right. And they know fixing it will require change which is something they aren't ready to do. They've gotten so comfortable with their "normal". Change would also require admitting wrong doing on their part which most people with an inflated sense of self wont be comfortable doing bc they are more worried about being perceived as a good person instead of actually molding their actions to try to be a good person!

      All the worst dictators fight for peace. From Hitler, Stalin, or Robespierrerre. It's just that they are willing to wage wars and sacrifice thousands or even millions of lives (not their own of course) to achieve a world where they have absolute power and all forms of opposition are eliminated. Call it peace by terror.

      In the recent history, the US have invaded more sovereign nations than any other country in the world. Sanctions and embargoes forced upon weaker nations by the US have caused millions of death by hunger throughout world. The US is forcing most nations through intimidation, corruption and assassination to trade their own resources using the US dollars (petro-dollar) just take it's "cut" upon every commercial transaction amongst nations. I think, all things considered, it's only normal that they think the American people could want them harms. And don't forget that US military bases are all around Russia, surrounding them, and ready to invade. Like in Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Czechoslovakia, etc... One could wonder how safe it is to NOT be prepared for an invasion from the US... I understand the point of many people saying it's because of the corrupted politician and that it's not the people's fault because they don't want this. But the thing is, who's paying those politicians? The taxpayers. Who's sponsoring the US army so they can wage their war as they please? The taxpayers. So at this point, even if the American people aren't directly involved in those wars, they are directly responsible since their the one financing them...

      Everyone knows American media is far more left wing liberal dominated today. CNN, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, NYTs, Vox, Vice, Huff Post...all liberal and absolutely not ‘nationalistic’. Even federally funded PBS is shifting to the left lately. You have even the NBA protesting the national anthem, how can you call that ‘nationalistic’?
      Then on the right there is Fox News however I wouldn’t call Fox nationalistic nor would I call it pro war.

    I'm 19 years old and my whole life I've been living in siberian part of Russia. It's not uncommon to hear phrase "You were born under Putin and you'll die under him" here. The massive amounts of forest sold to China and then it was covered up by the forest fire just recently was heard around the globe, i think.
    I knew everything that was happening here, and watching this just made me confirm it more. I never will say that some countries are perfect, yet it should be a concern when some African countries have a better life expectancy than "the power state" Russia. It's truly sad and im glad that this video exists. I truly hope that it'll be very popular and people outside will see everything that's happening here, and maybe just at least a little bit it'll be easier for us, knowing that people out there hope for our better future.
    I don't know when, but I hope that it'll happen soon.

      Russias fiber as a society, people and history is one of invasion, victory and strong centralized authority. I dont think westerners truly understand the destruction, terror, misery, and uprooting that Russia and china endured-and not only survived, but came out victorious-during their trial by fire (WWII). A scale tha test no western nation has ever endured, let alone experience ever in their history as a nation state.
      Russia, by every metric, is in a better overall position than any time in probably its entire history-better than the imperial Tsarist rule, communist rule, etc.-and those that lived through communist rule, and the misery that was the 1990s know this. For only a single generation since the russian federation has existed, where they are, is astounding. Russia will continue to show the world that agasint lost odds, that's they will survive and even thrive (relative to any other time in Russias histroy).
      All things considered (and theres a century's worth of instability and trauma) Russia, and China, will be fine, given the historical realities and baggage these states will forever have shackled around their ankle.

    Russia is ruled by 50-60 years old people. People with half military half prison mentality. They are ruling the country based on their aggressively coloured understanding of world. They are absolutely different from young generation. Our values are different. Generation in Russia in general are very different from each other because in last 50 year a lot of things happen in our country. I’d say we (people at +-20 y.o) have different mentality from mentality that our parents and grandparents have. That’s why there are values dissonance in Russian society. Young people want changing, freedom even revolution, older once want safety, stability and just not to become even poorer that they are now.
    And one more important result of situation in Russia is brain drain. I’m studying in Vladivostok in Far Eastern Federal University, I’m studying Regional Studies. We have about 60 students in our group and most of us wants to leave Russia and same situation is with all other students of all occupations in whole country. Isn’t it a tragedy?

      Don't really see brain drain as an issue. Russians get the appreciation and comfort they deserve, while they in return strengthen the weakened immune system of recipient countries. Russia could be used as a breeding ground for ideologically independent white people who would migrate to countries like Germany, Canada, and the US to help save them from the rabid anti-white collapse. Russian immigrants would be much more capable of resisting BLM bullying, for example, as opposed to the local whites brainwashed at their cultural marxist universities.

      Oligarchy in USA is in the system. You don't even think about corruption because it is just how the things are.
      If big business bribes politicians to make decisions in Russia, it's called corruption. In USA it's called lobbying.
      Also which one is it - either Putin is a dictator, has all the power. Or the country is run by the oligarchs, and Putin is just a puppet and not the problem (but for some reason people still want to see him overthrown).
      If Oligarchs would be in charge in Russia, then Crimea would not have happened. And the relationship with the west would be ok.

    Dear Russian kids, I feel exactly like you, and I live in a democratic and free Europe. Unfortunately, the problem goes beyond our means because it concerns a generation caste that has now passed which does not understand the pains and worries of youth. If you had more "freedom of speech" like us, rest assured that other problems would arise (such as in Europe the offense from freedom of opinion is no longer distinguished) and so on. It is a generational problem, which will never be understood, and which is felt in all latitudes. Either way DW you are great.

Putin, as is clear in Crimea, Georgia, Ukraine, and elsewhere, dreams of recreating the Soviet Union whether officially or just by sphere of influences. But that is not going to be acceptable in the 21st century when independence of government is not only totally feasible, but morally justified for a nation to want to be able to govern themselves fully and independently. "Russia" does not get to lay claim to other countries like Ukraine just because they were part of the Soviet Union, they were given independence.
