I believe lots of people have dashcams in Russia because people will willingly throw themselves in front of your car and make it look like an accident to get the money, so with a cam you can prove they are just dumb.
Not necesserely people throwing themselves in front of cars, that's quite a rare occurance, but there are a number of insurance scams and just a lot of people not willing to take responsibilty for their ineptitude and shitty driving habits.
Hey Simon! I love how you are not naturally grim and are genuinely shocked by all this. Love the new channel, Callum’s darkness and Jen’s taste in music. I would pay to see this granny face Juana Barrasa, do her story!
Fairly sure Simon's somehow set it up so Danny can only read content, can't post anything, unless it's to Simon. So letting him out after months and months of only wrighting bizzare Business Blaze and Casual Criminalist scripts for months... he might just end up as one of the unhinged and do something he's been reading about for years. Start a fire festival where people with cabins can hire in-door tents on an island that is in the middle of nowhere and get Kanyay West to fund it, bringing along moonshine along with a bevvy of "eastranged meats" for people to test...

We need to talk about your comments about schizophrenia. Having that diagnosis doesn't automatically make you dangerous or require you to be institutionalized. It's dangerous for people to be seen like that.
as someone who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and also never acted out any sort of violence, it does hurt a bit that this is how people view the illness as a whole. Especially when there have been murders done by people with depression, anxiety, ect. and their crimes aren’t associated with their mental health :/
I understand your frustration but it is true that *paranoid* schizophrenia is the only mental illness which increases someone's likelihood of committing violent crime. Trouble is that people lump all schizophrenics together.
In Russia you get central heating in all block of flats buildings (a network of pipes running boiling hot water and connected to radiator blocks in every room of each flat) - it provides cheap heating for the winter from huge heating plants around the city.. Since it’s a network of pipes running throughout the whole block of flats, when your neighbors make too much noise, people bang on the pipes (and the neighbors above and below can hear this loud banging) to alert the noise offender that somebody is pissed and they need to quite down..
yeah when someone starts drilling walls, and in apartment buildings someone always drilling the walls, crazy grannies start hammering the radiator so that the driller will hear. which only makes more crazy grannies bang on them because that will somehow stop the drillerman
A Russian friend of mine said that you get an insurance discount if you have a dash cam in your car. Mainly because there's a lot of insurance scammers that will do things that back into you and claim "you hit me and hurt my neck".
I heard that the reason why in Russia someone seems to have dash cams is because the traffic is so messed up and there were so many accidents and insurance claims that insurance companies made the dash cams mandatory to sort claims out. Makes for amazing TH-cam content.

I'm a huge fan of all your channels. I'm shocked at how little views u have for this channel. Its really great to listen to when chillin' or washing the dishes, when I'm doing pretty much any thing
"Do we really need to take her back to the apartment to have her cut up a dummy?" *Me* : "YES!" C/S: "I won't go into too much gruesome detail because you don't need that in your life right now." *Me* "You don't know me!"
It was almost impossible for me to continue listening after I heard the man was called as Samsonova 😂 But I'm happy that I'm not the only one who who noticed.
@@tammysiltanen884 As far as I know, it's mostly "ova" in Slavic languages, but maybe Russians also use the ending "aya". It's just "a" at the end of women's last names if the name is an adjective (in Czech for example, the name "happy", "vesely" becomes "vesela").
Right, hahaha? My grandpa was born in Ukraine, and he spoke Russian, (as well as Polish & English) but he was always VERY clear that they were different, LOL!
If you want to know more about that Chikatilo case HBO had an old special called "Citizen X". It's not completely accurate factually but does a good job showing it.
If your roommates leave dirty dishes in the sink forever you should just casually ask them when their moms coming by. When they ask what you mean you explain how you thought she would be coming over to clean up after you, since you clearly cant clean up after yourself. Bonus points if their moms dead.
Many drugs that are prescription in other countries are over-the-counter in Russia and pharmacists don't always ask for a prescription even for those that actually require it. And even if they asked, an elderly lady can act like she really needs this medication but misplaced her prescription or something... Though I think in the later years it became more strict at least in regards to psychoactive drugs and such.
Yep! My mom got sick whilst traveling in Russia, and was surprised that she was told to just go to the pharmacy and ask for antibiotics. She did, and got them, too!
@@maneckineckbeard1749 My friend had a totally opposite experience in the US. She fell and hit her knee and it was hurting really bad. So she went to a pharmacy but couldn't get anything for the pain. She was told to go to a doctor, but we were on a group tour with a very tight schedule so it was practically impossible. So in this regard, Russia is way more convenient. Oh, and by the way, some pharmacies started to refuse to sell antibiotics without a prescription since covid.
I own a phone repair shop, and the number of people I get coming in asking to disable their phone's 5G permanently because they get 'headaches' is vast.
I listen to TH-cam with earbuds at work and I've heard this one a couple of times. This is the first time I've watched it, and I must admit that I'm surprised at the volume of actual footage they were able to obtain. Despite "Granny" looking very much like she was described, it's still quite startling to see such a sweet old lady smiling at the camera, knowing who she was and what she did.
Great video! 2 small heads up, really minor. Her husbands last name would be "Samsonov" Not Chi-ka-li-to, it's "Chi-ka-ti-lo". Pls don't be annoyed, just 2 small mistakes, we're all human. Great video from the team!
Oh for sure you should do a show on Chikatilo, not only because it's such a stunning story of the incompetence of police at the time but also, let's be honest, because it makes you visibly uncomfortable, lol.
Granny: Wash the Dishes. Me: I'm kinda busy Grandma! Granny; (walks in room holding her favourite switchblade) Me: washes dishes, sweeps, mops, paints the kitchen, mows the lawn, washes the car and takes the dog out for a walk.
Of course, I would be listening to this while sitting with residents at the nursing home I work for. One of them was having a deep discussion with the man on her ceiling. Not my best choice in listening material. I did enjoy it though, even as I watched the resident carefully for signs of aggression. LOL!
Do one about the Swedish prime minister that was shot dead and the police messed up the investigation so they never found the culprit. I think it was in the 80's... Can't bother checking anything out, sorry.
My grandpa was Russian/Ukrainian, and he was hands-down the single toughest human being I've ever met. Ever. The guy would still chop wood & shovel snow, in his underwear, during howling blizzards...when he was in his late-80s and early 90s!! He also apparently once threw a guy twice his size through a window when the guy tried to rob my grandma at knifepoint. "Tough" is putting it very, VERY lightly. Russians are often, to quote my grandpa, "Strong like bear. Strong like bull." Oh, and as for the dashcam thing: I noticed the same thing, and asked a Russian friend. Her answer was that car insurance isn't required in the same way there as it is in the states, and that the police & justice system can still be really corrupt...so people all have dashcams in case they get into accidents, in order to be able to prove what actually happened.
It's been in a few movies. I think *maybe* it was also in "From Hell," and there's definitely at least a couple of others I've seen that feature that concept.
From what I remember: the reason that Russia has so many dashcams is because of a spike in fraudulent insurance claims in the early 2000's, and so drivers got dashcams to deter pedestrians from pressing charges for nonexistent injuries.
There's definitely been at least a couple of movies that feature that concept. I think maybe they did it in "From Hell," and I've also def seen it in other films.
While I can respect the opinions of people who suffered under the "communist" countries of the past, I think it needs to be said that what those places had was NOT Communism. To say that "communism sucks" while looking at those places is to say "totalitarianism sucks", and Totalitarianism is in direct contrast to the idea of a stateless classless society. Those places didn't even come close to socialism, The democratization of the workplace. These countries, from an academic perspective, enacted State Capitalism. In other words, they absorbed the structures laid out by capitalism into the governing body while said structures remained about the same, exploiting workers, and treating humans as a natural resource. No communist worth their salt will ever defend such an abhorrent structure. All that said, I love Simon's work and I hope we keep this awesome stuff coming.

Why am I not surprised to see Simon hosting another channel I didn’t know existed and has hundreds of thousands of subs
You have discovered a legendary weapon, "baba yaga's bloody bone saw'
Ha!
I ate a sandwich at work on lunch while listening to this.
Not bothered. 👍💯👌
Here from tiktok
I love the dark wit! Such a great series! :)
Do one about the Swedish prime minister that was shot dead and the police messed up the investigation so they never found the culprit. I think it was in the 80's... Can't bother checking anything out, sorry.
My grandpa was Russian/Ukrainian, and he was hands-down the single toughest human being I've ever met. Ever. The guy would still chop wood & shovel snow, in his underwear, during howling blizzards...when he was in his late-80s and early 90s!! He also apparently once threw a guy twice his size through a window when the guy tried to rob my grandma at knifepoint.
"Tough" is putting it very, VERY lightly. Russians are often, to quote my grandpa, "Strong like bear. Strong like bull."
Oh, and as for the dashcam thing: I noticed the same thing, and asked a Russian friend. Her answer was that car insurance isn't required in the same way there as it is in the states, and that the police & justice system can still be really corrupt...so people all have dashcams in case they get into accidents, in order to be able to prove what actually happened.
I thought this was the title of a video from the hub.
ooooh what interesting music choices this time around!
They did the "dead man eye projector" thing in Will Smith's "Wild Wild West". It was terrible
I swear I thought it was a more high budget sci-fi movie. Weird...
I just saw an episode of Criminal Minds that made mention of it. (I'm really enjoying that show).
It's been in a few movies. I think *maybe* it was also in "From Hell," and there's definitely at least a couple of others I've seen that feature that concept.
From what I remember: the reason that Russia has so many dashcams is because of a spike in fraudulent insurance claims in the early 2000's, and so drivers got dashcams to deter pedestrians from pressing charges for nonexistent injuries.
The movie you're referring to, what the eyes has a projector, is wild wild west with Will Smith. Or at least they had a similar scene LOL
Yes! They use the head of the Colonel to see who killed him.
Thank you haha Thought i might of been having a false memory hahaha
There's definitely been at least a couple of movies that feature that concept. I think maybe they did it in "From Hell," and I've also def seen it in other films.
Always love your vids!
While I can respect the opinions of people who suffered under the "communist" countries of the past, I think it needs to be said that what those places had was NOT Communism. To say that "communism sucks" while looking at those places is to say "totalitarianism sucks", and Totalitarianism is in direct contrast to the idea of a stateless classless society. Those places didn't even come close to socialism, The democratization of the workplace. These countries, from an academic perspective, enacted State Capitalism. In other words, they absorbed the structures laid out by capitalism into the governing body while said structures remained about the same, exploiting workers, and treating humans as a natural resource. No communist worth their salt will ever defend such an abhorrent structure.
All that said, I love Simon's work and I hope we keep this awesome stuff coming.
Thank you Simon, you guys do a great job. I read a lot of history. I can tell you guys are doing accurate research. Keep up the good work.
You need to do a video about Junko Furuta
I don't know. That's a story that still makes my heart feel heavy.
Damn...
No one deserves the horror she endured.
Poor girl.
I learned how much of a rag the Daily Mail is from non other than John Cleese!
