Did Sanctions Actually Hit Russian Families and How Exactly

- Sanctions have hit Russian and Russian people hard and, of course, the way of life we used to have just months ago is different now.
But how much did things change? Is anything getting better or even worse now? What is the actual affect on different sides of being a family man in Russia?

........and what do you say to the many everyday citizens who do not have sufficient food and water, or a roof over their head? Poverty and suffering know no country boarders, nor discriminate among genders, races, ages, orientations, or political beliefs. I get your point, it's just that I really wish that we would all do something more proactive than just stay quiet and pretend to be thankful that it isn't us starving and homeless. ☯️
I think we all have the same needs whether you live in Russia or the USA or some other country. We all want to take care of our families work and live in peace.
Not sure about US, looks like your country went totally crazy with all that 'green', BLM and LGBT nonsense
The Russians, all of them, bear the sin of their invasion. I wish for Russia what they have sown.
Orcs don't have the same needs as people.
They are war criminals.
Yeah too bad Ukraine can't live in the same peace thanks to Poutine.
@@farzana6676 Do you know, who is S.Bandera?
Here in Australia the sanctions are hitting us hard in the form of high cost of energy, rent, healthcare and groceries. Oh wait…that’s not sanctions, it’s corporate greed.
We are under sanctions, from the corporate elite.
I watched one of these but groceries were being shown he said he was spending about 3000 rubles a month what he bought I don't see how he could feed a family of 3 I don't know but 1000 rubles is 17 dollars US.....that's extremely cheap.
Spiderman@The sanctions made by the European governements are actually hurting poor and middle class people more! Now the state have to help people, because they can´t pay their gas/electric bills... food and gasolin is rising, seems like only the rich is getting richer from this "crisis" And big corporations are paying and lobbying with the politicans, so it makes you wonder who these "politicians" actually represent... big business seems like the short answer.
We have it good here mate. Don't you dare complain! This is paradise.
@@thedappercook No one lives in paradise, mate. That is childish, jingoistic garbage. I’ve met people all over the world who think there country and life is the best.
I’m English and I started learning Russian about 4-5 days ago. It’s quite challenging but I do like to push myself. My hope is that one day I can visit Russia and see their beautiful history and cities. Thank-you for your videos!
Спасибо и удачи!😊
@@_tntpig_ ohh don’t worry I know, the grammar is the real tough part, so many different cases to learn. Although I feel like I’ll prioritise vocabulary over it, as a lot of people have told me, you can sound like Yoda in Russia and the people there would most often understand you if you have the right vocab.
Hungarian is harder
@@roeyearl9431 Right.This language came to Europe from the northern Urals.The Khanty and Mansi peoples live there and their language is the parent of Hungarian.
You can come to Russia and learn the language here. You will learn Russian much faster in Russia.

I accidentally found your video and I am glad you are sharing this. I arrived in Yekaterinburg few days ago after being away for 9 months. I had to deal with right VPN but I also found there's no much difference as before in terms of living quality. But, yes, shops are with full of quality products and there are more new modern apartments being built. New restaurants are open, which I really enjoyed today. I think the life here became even better. People will find jobs since companies need to replace foreign brands and products with local brands and products. Thank you for your report.
This made me nostalgic for when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's. We had the best, most fun, playground equipment, considered dangerous today. It seemed like the whole culture was centered around kids. I see that in Russia now.
I came from the United Kingdom originally but have lived in Australia for many years. It makes one wonder why there's the continued degree of friction or mistrust between Russia and the 'West' (or is it the rest?). I look at people in the video walking around, shopping, kids playing and apart from the the very noticeable big blocks of apartments (flats/units) that could be anywhere in many places in Australia. I didn't see anyone who looked like they wanted world domination!
Thanks for sharing.
100% the people of Every country are essentially the same just want to get on with life.. unfortunately war is declared by those who won't have to go to war.
It's not Russia that wants world domination. It's the US that wants to dominate Europe with NATO expansion which lead to Ukraine war.
@@vikramnandakumaran2434 NATO expansion didn't cause this war, Putins ego did, when he compared himself to Peter the great it became the one time in his life that he let the truth slip, land grab nothing more.
@@aus3492 stop propagating fake news .he also said he liked American democracy . Does that mean he is a democrat. Politicians say all sorts of things .he decided to invade Ukraine in 2022 after US said no to all of his proposals
@@aus3492 I can't understand why when the United States destroyed Iraq and killed 500,000 children by inventing a false reason, you didn't talk about that war? Why, when the United States destroyed Libya by inventing a reason and turned a rich secular state into one of the poor countries, did you not talk about that war? Why were you silent when the USA destroyed Yugoslavia? And why are you now accusing Putin, who has at least six reasons, including violation of the NATO Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1990?
Russians consider such statements extremely hypocritical and such people make them angry.
I always hoped with the internet and people all over the world being able to communicate and find the real truths that there would be more peace in the world. Most governments spit out so much propaganda they turn people against people, and unless you try to learn the truth, you may never know why you are “supposed” to dislike another county or the people…who are usually just like you.
Meanwhile zelensky is being forced by uncle Sam & his foot soldiers at NATO to use Ukrainians as canon fodder in hopes to weaken Russia via proxy war... This is the ugly truth of the matter
@Brandon Loves The Movies there's nothing positive in Europe at the moment, Dutch farmers are being forced to have their farms destroyed by government, while the rest of Europe goes back to coal after decades of billions essentially wasted on net zero projects which could've developed society, it's all gone to sh*t... Recession plus winter next...
Nope, you Americans are the enemy of most nations including Russia, no matter how friendly you act, you always will be an Enemy no matter how friendly you act
@@user-nq4qs2yc5d lol, America's allies are the majority of puppets in Europe & the NATO collective. The rest of the world has seen America for what it is, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, European economy can collapse for all they care, along with their self serving foreign policy directed by an already decaying United states.
I never expected Russia to make a move, but now that they did, it's time to tear the dollar hegemony. China won't miss.
Amen at the end of days we are all mankind and our leaders in a global scale are corrupt to the core.
Not to worry, you'll do just fine without Coca-Cola, Ikea, iPhones and all the other gadgets of western consumer society.
You'll come out stronger and more independent as a nation.
That's probably what really matters.
Thank you Zangieff, for your open honest comment's, I think we all agree from those all over the planet , who are following blogger's from Russia that we are all essentially the same. Through fate we could be currently in your situation, therefore we hope we see the day, when your lives are back to normal and you can raise your family and further your career. All the best from Perth WA
Hi mate, I want to make a video about how the reality of the effects of sanctions on Russia compares to what is being shown in the News around the world. It would be great to get an insight as to what is being said by your media, so that I can make a video and compare it to the realty.
one of the most honest youtubers that i have ever watched,love your videos,russia seems like how it was in my childhood,people were always outside,really got some nostalgia from your videos thank you
I would like to see the rural side of Russia ,you are making great content about your country .much love from South Africa
The villages or the small towns?
An Australian farming family sold their farm and moved to Russia. Here they are visiting the farm of an American who has been living in Russia for a long time. They have rural Russian life on many videos.

Great video. Thank you very much.
Great video, i wish you and your family good fortune.
Thinking of my own city in the UK (Birmingham) we also have shops underneath our apartment blocks. The parks you have out there are great and the kids look as though they are having fun - what is cool is seeing tables for chess and for table tennis which we tend not to have here.
In reality, we are all the same as we strive for the same things, its just our cultures that are different.
I follow Alex and Valeria on the Different Russia channel and learnt from them that you can buy an apartment that has the utilities and is just a shell and that the home owner employs someone like Alex to turn it into a home. I have also noticed that there are playgrounds for the children around the apartment blocks.
I hope that your job stays secure Zangieff and thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us. One day, I hope to visit - it has been a dream of mine to visit St Basil's in Moscow.
Yeah Birmingham is a shithole just like London now. I got out of London in 2017 after living their for 37 years. The reason why the decline will hit the West harder is because they have further to fall
Our leaders are who ruin everything. Clearly we were all created equal to thrive under whatever conditions support our cultural values. It’s the people at the top who ruin it for the vast majority by imposing their agenda
Good luck with your dream, man. I hope as well to visit Russia one day.
there aren't many parks like that in Russia Denise..
Also in Ukraine has many park ...perhaps if are not bomb from Russian

It’s funny how, though specific details change from place to place, in general people have the same daily concerns and it’s the governments who always make problems. Seems to me that most folks just want to do their job, go home and put their feet up with the family. Not constantly he meddling in the affairs of people they have never met for nebulous reasons.

It's awesome how your residential buildings have shops on the ground floor. Here in the US that's not really a thing, except for like older buildings in bigger cities that have been remodeled....but even then, it's usually some super bougie restaurant that nobody ever goes to, and it ends up closing. The apartment buildings I've lived in, I would have loved to be able to just take the elevator down to get to the liquor store, or pharmacy, or market.
Moscow looks nicer than LA
We have shops like that in the uk
I know only few good projects, where there is good shopping and services infrastructure. One project of round residence has shopping centre on ground floor, with supermarket, post office, pharmacy, drugstore, laundry, restaurant, fastfood, farmers market etc... accessible with elevator from residential part.
But this is very rare, 90% of those projects are simple developer's Mordor.
Not sure where you live but in the largest cities it’s very common to have stores at street level and at subway level of large residential buildings.
Common in every single village town and city in North west Europe
Every single town centre in UK has this
Thank you for this video Zangieff. I dream of a day when I'm retired to ride a motorcycle from Vladivostok to St.Petersburg. I hope things stay good for Russian people. Respect from the US.

I really like your videos Zangieff! I think many other CZcamsrs feel pressured to show how bad sanctions are in Russia. I don't think they are trying to tell lies or whatever. Maybe they just think that is what people in the west want to see. In contrast to that, you are showing the stores as they are and telling us how your personal situation is. Things are different in Russia now but not a catastrophe.

Great video!!!
It would be interesting if people from other countries (Germany, Poland, UK, Netherlands, etc) reported on how things changed in their everyday lives over the past few months.
I can say from Italy that we are proud to help Ukraine
Women Ukraine raped and children too from Russian Soldiers!!! Are you thinking about this during your days?
Germany here. Food prices some going up significantly, other products barely. Energy costs skyrocketing. Rents I don't know, but more or less everything will be affected to some degree.
Small businesses closing is always an ongoing thing.
I have been downtrodden by the rotten system for a long time, so my life hasn't changed that much - same misery with a bit extra stress.
People protest, but they are too few, too late (reactionary), they don't have much say in this US-controlled oligarchy, and are stupid enough to vote a head of state into office AFTER he had several major corruption scandals.
If the utter lack of hope and the rage about people's foolishness wasn't giving me chronic burnout, I'd have done everything to move to Russia long ago.
The most interesting thing will be in winter. Just follow the events :-)
@@Siberian_Bear72 Do you think that in January the white bears walk around the Brandenburg Gate or around the Eiffel Tower?
@@TakAndrzejPolak If some commentators are still writing about brown bears on the streets of Russian cities, then you can expect anything in the media next winter. But the queues at the Polish "Bogdanka" for coal for heating homes speak eloquently about the problems of the coming winter in Europe.

Thank you Zangieff. Real soul!
These are not sanctions, but special economic operations to help the Russian economy become more independant from the west.
That's interesting.
Elvira Nabiullina, head of the Central Bank of Russia,
predicts Russia's economy should fully recover from
the sanctions by 2024, and she tends to be a bit of a
pessimist. In any case, the Russians have survived
a lot worse for much longer periods of time.
@@Llewellyn2844 she doesn't predict. She hopes that the things will change in the USA government and therefore a new narrative will follow.

Nice guy. Wish you well.
Zangieff, I live in Australia and I raised a family while I was paying a mortgage. Both my wife and I were working and some months, we were strugling to keep our heads above water. Some people might think that life is easy in Australia or America, but that is not true for most people. Clearly, it is also hard to raise a family and pay a mortgage in Moscow too, but life is not easy anywhere in this world, and in some countries, it is less easy than others.
On another note, I notice that in Russian cities most people live in small apartments. How is it that a country like Russia, with the biggest land mass in the world, and people do not live in normal homes. Surely, your government can make land very affordable for families to build a home, because Russia is a vast country and there is plenty of land.
Russians simply love their apartments - we have apts for any taste and income level, it's also the matter of proximity to work or school or entertainment, and good city planning. Even those who buy mansions in the suburbs often sell them and come back to the city for the sake of convenience.
Depends on the city or the town people live in. In towns living is a house is common. In big cities everyone lives in condos and many people own a cottage in a countryside. If you live in house in Moscow, you will end up with commuting 3 hours one way to your work.
Dear Burt, Russia is indeed large and there’s a lot of land they can use. There are many government programs which people can use, such as “free hectares” across the country. Any citizen may claim 1 hectare of land free of charge (depending on the region there may be differences in purposes for the land, but generally the land can be used to build a house for living, for gardens, for agriculture/farming, and many other types of businesses). So, a family of 4 may get 4 hectares free of charge. The condition is - you gotta use the land, you can’t just get it free of charge from the government and then resell it later on, to prevent fraud, the govt gives you a free “lease” for 5 years, if after 5 years you used the land - you’ve built a house or business etc - then you get it officially transferred to your full ownership. This is just one of the Governments land schemes. The thing with cities though, it is virtually impossible to allow people to have stand alone houses. Think of it, Moscow has over 12 million residents, that’s roughly half of the population of Australia living in ONE city. Can you imagine what would happen if all of them had villas and houses? The size of Moscow would stretch beyond imaginable and would cause massive infrastructure issues. So this is what large megapolis living is like, it’s got nothing to do with the availability of land in the country. + as much as Russians like to whinge/cry about their “terrible” life, the absolute majority of them have a townhouse called “dacha”. This is a sort of a summer house, or simply house located outside of the city where you can grow anything you like, have bbqs, and do whatever etc. so this too plays a huge role, it’s not just stone jungles for them. In Australia, only a few people can afford a second holiday house, it is considered luxury. In Russia, they all have it and it’s considered “average” ordinary thing.
I would also like to say this: russians have been brainwashed by the western media for 2 decades, they get the general perception of the western countries as what you’d see in Hollywood - they assume everything is super lavish and luxurious, people don’t have to work, they get super high salaries and their costs of living are next to nothing. Of course this is not true, but this is the general perception Russians have. So, when they compare their life to this western illusion - they think that everything is absolutely terrible about their country. They don’t know what they have and they’re eager to black wash it not realising that what they have is GOLD and is SO MUCH BETTER than in most of western countries.
Anywhere in the world u will find condos and apartments in major cities rather than landed terraces. Be it in Moscow, Sydney, NY, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Milan anywhere in the world. Its a fact. Juz use common sense to understand why.

Thanks for showing around such a beautiful place of Russia during the hard time. 😀👍👍
It's great to see people are still interested in learning about Russia.
An honest guy, so I subbed!
Oh no. The tree @12:03...is sick. Branches with no leaves. The trees look like that here in the Boston, MA area. The trees are sick and dying on a massive scale and "no one seems to notice". First time here on your channel. I would have loved to see your reaction to my local (Boston) Russian "Babushka Grocery" stores. I'm talking a a few years ago when I took my Latvian father to either "Babushka" (poor quality) or "Bazaar" (good quality) grocery stores. We could always tell the older customers who grew up in the old Soviet Union. No smiles. No eye contact. Interesting to see from a Moscow Family perspective. Good show.
5 STARS!

I love the idea of having cafes and stores in the ground floor of residential buildings. I remember seeing this in Moscow, Minsk, and some other cities in former USSR. Thanks for the nice video Zangieff. You're such a great vlogger!!
This is a very Chinese type development . Very common in China .
Nicer Colour tho.
This type of development is standard in East Asia like China or Korea.
In Berlin also
Hey 👋 thank you for this informative CZcams session…. It’s been good to see the way every day people are living! And glad to hear food remains more or else accessible
Love your vided bro. Keep up the good vibes Zangieff from Trinidad & Tobago with love.
Thanks 😊
This deserves much more views, but I don't think YT would allow that to happen.
I know this feeling. I have been making honest videos about Russia for years and youtube does not like it!!!
