"The Bear never attacks first" 😂😂😂
What !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s some hot escorts in Russia
And they cheap
my thoughts exactly. that's so un-true
And she’s a teacher 😵💫
Yes, Russia is only defending itself against an aggression from USA and their Ukrainian lackeys.
I find it telling that when the Soviet Union fell, the only country that thought the Cold War was over was....Russia.
That face when you realise that its not an anti communist alliance but anti russian American puppet system.
source please
I can’t reply for gordanstewart, but anybody senior members in the military knew that Russia was continuing its SSBN patrols off the coasts of North America. The Cold War didn’t stop…they just cut numbers of obsolete equipment, kept the newer stuff in service, and continued developing. The promising projects. The lying and naïve Western press invented the “peace dividend” and focused on how wonderful Russia was opening up and developing…Nobody, in public, asked how a lowly Lt. Colonel KGB officer became the new dictator for life…so, from a military perspective, nobody thought things had fundamentally changed.
If they had free and fair elections and a free press then they could join us as a civilised nation. Russia is not free and Putin is a murderous lying dictator.
This is untrue. Really you could argue the opposite, the West perceived Russia as becoming less relevant, this is what some Russians don't like, they want to be seen as a world power. The West very much perceived the cold war was over. But with a population comparable to Mexico and an economy the size of Australia, this isn't happening. Putin wants to return Russia to soviet era economy, power and respect and that's what his invasion(s) are all about.
How is it that the BBC Russia corresondent, Steve Rosenberg, can travel freely and apparently report uncensored in Russia while the UK close down Russia Today and other Russian media outlets? It would be interesting to see the equivalent exercise in UK by a prominent Russian reporter. It seems that for relations to improve between Russia and the west, the west (mainly US) would prefer a return of another Boris Yeltsin and Russia would like the west to strictly adhere to the UN Charter and International Law.
Putin is ok with Rosenberg, but they turfed out Sarah Rainsford. BTW isn't it odd that Steve Rosenberg and Sarah Rainsford have the same initials and the same amount of letters in their names 🤔
The Russians just give him enough rope so he can again highlight BBC as a state owned propaganda machine
I appreciate Russia on this 👏
I'm not sure, but I think they must have some respect for Steve. He knows russian language and culture very well and has lived there for a long time.
@@emilydavison2053 The tragedy is that a person who knows the Russian language and culture makes such propaganda and biased reports. What can we say about the ordinary Western man in the street, who usually does not know anything about Russia at all
No, there is no hatred and cannot be. Politicians constantly mess things up and it's very sad. Ordinary people have no problems with each other. Peace to all of us. Best regards from Russia.
Do you mean one puting kills Ukrainians every day? How about more than one hundred thousands orks who have commited atrocities in Ukraine since Feb. 2022? Also, I have problems with Russians who tell me what language I should speak in Ukraien.
The ordinary people will be the ones beating each other in the name of the glorious state, not the politicians.
@@DrMrPersonGuy Maybe yes, maybe no. In any case, the root of all these disagreements and other chaos that is now happening in the world does not come from ordinary people.
@@-Egor- there's no maybe about it. The politicians aren't the ones making up the police/army/guard/fsb/media/economy. Your empty words mean nothing if you go along with the government and do nothing to fix it.
@@DrMrPersonGuy Your "brilliant" conclusions do not make you smart, please do not write what you do not know for sure. I repeat once again for special “adepts of thought” the root of all this is initially not in ordinary people, your conclusions are erroneous.
I'm sick of these terrorist/kidnapper logic from Russians.
"If you haven't helped the victim, this crime would've been over by now"
"If you do as I say, this will be over quick"

@happyelephant5384 would United states tolerate Russian missiles in Cuba, a couple of minutes away from Washington?
I worked in Russia til April of last year. It's much more westernized than people believe. I literally met more pro-Soviet style people in the US and UK. Which is why there has been a mass exodus of young people from Russia and why basically everyone I knew doesn't live there anymore
Imagine Russia planning military base in Mexico what would they do or Cuba if anyone remembers that’s situation
@@wrysagb9330 I keep seeing this ridiculous comparison and it makes no sense. The USA is not going to invade and try to annex parts of Mexico, whereas Russia has a history of illegally invading and trying to annex parts of neighbouring countries.

I still can't believe this is happening in my country. Back in 2018, we all had fun together in the squares of our cities at the World Cup, welcomed foreign guests with joy, supported each other ...
And now my best friend is forced to go to a criminal war, because he thinks that the country is in danger. But I can't argue with him, if only because it won't change anything and will only break our friendship more. What will happen next, I'm afraid to imagine
man its so sad seeing this, i was looking at a concert in 1991 by metallica and other names about two years ago, i like music alot lol its my thing, there were just so many people enjoying the show, russians and other countries, they all united as great friends, it was amazing seeing all those people at peace with one another, now their sons are kiling each other again, its so sad to see knowing that at one point they could have been friends, like hell i had a russian friend on a game i used to play with, he was a bit older than me, and we stopped talking just due to doing other things, even tho im given a narritive that russians are attacking the ukraine and all the evil bs. i cant stop thinking about the fact that "the bad guys" in my media is one of my old friends, i would never think to hurt him. and i just cant fathom that people are doing this to each other
Yes that's all very sad, but I guess it's up to the aliens to fix russia, not you.
He will get a storm shadow missile through his front window an die
Aye we love you very much. Please stay safe and I hope that soon we will be all united again. Much love from Germany 🖤
Чм 2018 это вообще позор. Он показал что Россия это мировой бордель
I think people underestimate the effectiveness of propaganda and it's true purpose. There seems to be an assumption that if people don't fully believe what is being told to them, then propaganda has failed. However, the goal of propaganda is not to change how someone thinks, but rather how they act. A person can remain skeptical at their core, but so long as they espouse the correct narrative and demonstrate the preferred action (or inaction), then the message has done it's job.
Not only the Russians, the whole world hates the gringo and anglosaxon pestilence 🤮🇬🇧🤮🇺🇸
You think people underestimate the effectiveness of propaganda. So you feel like Western propaganda is stuffing Russophobia into you - right?
Just like you've been banned from watching Russian media. Now, your thoughts are totally aligned to the central narrative.
Welcome to Crimea. I can met you. ) Come and you’ll see the total lie about this region in your media.
Best wishes from Crimea ❤
@@KaterinaKattt Prime example of somebody who doesn't realize they are being fed propaganda. Russian (speaking) population of Crimea was onboard with joining Russia, but that russian population was a minority, and yet Russia annexed Crimea. That's illegal. Hypothetically if 5% of Karelians want to join Finland, is Finland allowed to attack Russia and take it by force?
You don’t attack a country and expect not be attacked back , what world are they living in

@@abbymedina7310 When was the last time Americans "ATTACKED" a country, destroying it on purpose in order to STEAL LAND?
Iraq? nope, they were trying to help by deposing a vile dictator.
Syria? nope, they were helping to topple the thugs in ISIS.
Afghanistan? nope, they were helping the locals now suppressed by the taliban because Americans arent active in Afghanistan.
on and on, Americans do things out of their own self interest AND the interest of others. They DO help other countries, often, they spend billions helping other countries. Where are the Americans in these countries? Have the Americans stolen a bunch of land that im unaware of?
russia is destroying Ukraine and trying to steal their land. Americans never stole others' land. russia is a poor country that needs to offset their shittiness with parts of other countries, typical soviet style take over.
You are oh so right so the West and Ukraine should not complain there is a war
As an American I wish this war never started. Cant we just all respect each other?
Tell that to your colonial government hypocrite american racist!!
America started this with nato.
Bro xD there is no poor country in the world that hasn't got touched by americans and french and uk u reasons why some other counties poor just like small counters near Russia
Hardly when USA is choking everyone else... I wish you USA citizens to feel on your backs what your leaders are doing to everyine else.
@@prajwal1341 No NATO country is fighting in Ukraine. For the first two months of Russian attacks, Ukraine stood alone. Ukraine, alone, repelled Russian soldiers from Kyiv with no outside help. Russia attacked Ukraine with no NATO in Ukraine. And there are still no NATO soldiers in Ukraine. What has changed is Ukraine has received weapons from NATO members, but NATO has not participated.
NATO is as involved in Ukraine as Iran and North Korea. They have only delivered weapons.
Years ago I visited Russia and the majority of my time was spent in the homes of average Russian families. I was greeted by great hospitality and curiosity. At one point I was in a rural village speaking English and some of the neighbors and neighborhood children were quite excited to have an American visit their little village. In fact one young boy spent the entire day giving me Russian language lessons. The most interesting thing politically was when a conversation about the upcoming US election (McCain vs Obama) came up. They wanted to know my opinions on the two, who I was going to vote for and they freely shared their thoughts on the two. When I turned around and asked a simple question about Putin…WOW. Conversation came to a complete stop. The older folks just had a look of fear on their face, others looked around suspicious and what not…not because of Putin per se, but because of their own childhoods growing up. One of the young adults in the room said, “The older generation does not talk about Russian politics.” My experience is that most “every day people” from almost any country likes the “every day people” from other countries…but they can’t always say it.
Worrying thing is why was a old American travelling over to Russia to spend an entire day to be with a young boy ??? Are you sick in your head ?
Not only the Russians, the whole world hates the gringo and anglosaxon pestilence 🤮🇬🇧🤮🇺🇸
Omg what a bullshit about putin part😂
You should try fiction writing. Pretty good at it
Don’t speak about Putin with Americans, may be. Any way sounds very strange. We speak about him enough.

-Poland?! we know, polish people killed Russians by using fake tsar, and in return, we liberated them from nazis rather than doing the same as they did with us in the past.
-In Syria, USA, and NATO in Syria before Russia, Russia came to Syria by a request from an elected government in 205 but who invited NATO and USA in 2012?! from 2012 and 2015, ISIS controlled more than 70% of Syria, it's not weird because Wikileaks say, USA made ISIS and supported. but after Russia came to Syria, 5% of Syrian lands were under the control, of ISIS and ISIS lives in regions under the occupation of the USA.

Because Ukraine ultra nationalists forces killed around 15,000 ethnic Russians in the Donbas between the 2014 coup and the beginning of the Russian offensive? …….. could be that maybe?
Propaganda rots the brains of Russians. They’re in a cult where they’re made to believe up is down and left is right. This is why they have some of the highest rates of drug use, alcoholism, domestic violence, rape
Because fascists from Ukraine burnt people alive in Odessa in 2014.

Hey 'purple micordot' are you sure you didn't mistake that row of shrubs for russians.

It's very sad that one man whose life doesn't have many years left is subjecting Russia and the world to such an awful destiny
It is not just one man. It is Russia, and Russia must take responsibility not pass it off by saying, they were powerless and Putin did it. Who flies those missile missions? Who shoots people from tanks and artillery pieces? Who sits idly by while genocide is taking place in their name. What about the nameless, faceless Russians that are in the process of "re-educating" all those stolen children within the Russian population. It is Russia! Russia not Putin!
This is so true...

I hope everything will get better soon 😔
Because the majority of Russians voted and support Putin, the modern Hitler committing genocide in Ukraine - due to his delusion that Russia deserved their lands.
Your people supported the pain and suffering inflicted on Ukraine through elections and thus we don’t like Russians at all

@Алина, yo ukries are so dumb. You are loosing at all fronts, except media one, but still manage to do this performances. People of Donbass have a lot to say to you, who've shelled them for almost a decade.
Russia invaded Ukraine exactly because you, majority of Russians, did not talk and did not touch on the topic of politics. Your imbevalent behavouse casued Putin to belive he can do anything he wants. As Ukrainian, I want Russians to get out of my country and leave Ukrainians alone for good.
The problem with Russia is those who are in power. I have been to Russia a few times and found the people very friendly. It is Putin and his greed for power that has made Russia what it is today.
The West produces their own demons which they then heroically fight for decades.
people in power but also russians (especialy elders) are very naive and easily monipultated by the state media propaganda system which putin have built in the last 20 years. putins propaganda is maybe the best in world honestly. in many ways its much more effective than Nazi Germany propaganda.
People are the same everywhere but I cannot give a free pass to Russian citizens who stand by idle and quiet while Russia brutally slaughters innocent civilians in an unprovoked senseless war. Through their lack of action Russian citizens are complicit in Russia’s war crimes!
Which was tolerated by the apathy of the many.
The problem with the West is who is in power there. The stupidity and greed of the authorities of Western countries create problems for Russia and the whole world.
It’s like the partner in an abusive relationship, but refuses to accept the relationship is abusive!!! Typical of some people who trust so easily and always ready to forgive their abusers!!!!! 😢😢😢
BBC switched off comments on their Australian war crime accused why is that? Russia bad Putin bad focus exclusively on their war crimes, we're the "good" side in all this.
It's not abusive. Russia invests heavily into newly captured territories. We almost finished a beautiful school in Mariupol for 1100 pupils. We're investing into education, sport, giving maternity capital to parents with children. And so much more. Feel free to go there and ask locals about Russia. Many people on the occupied territories will say positive things.

Isn’t it odd - we all just sit here acting hard done by and yet we don’t actually make a move to help the situation. Imagine the world we could have if the normal, good people (rich and poor) took a stand and made life what it should be 😢
When the 1% rules the 99%.... you'd think we'd have done it by now!
What the fuck are you going to do?
The people you talk of vote for some of the worst politicians on the scene today. So WTF are you talking about ?
We are helping the situation we're giving weapons to the good guys.
Politics is the mechanism that manages the power to do that. It's not about the politicians, so much as war isn't about the soldiers. Just two people trying to make any fundamental change at a state level is politics. We don't just magically know what's right and wrong. Try to think of something that is absolutely right and good - you'll find a group of people in your country that believe in the complete opposite. You'll also find people that disagree with it being absolute even if they agree in principle, and there's even a different kind of people that will argue with you on how such right and wrong should be established in the country. To make matters even more complicated, people can change their opinions and stances and even ally with different groups once their own loses out or is threatened by a bigger one.
Now a simple 9-5 job person will probably want to ignore all that and just do what they can, right? That's fine and all, but these complications will not ignore *you*. The moment this person tries to do even one thing they think is best, they're joining a group. They'll become the target of an enemy group, and even their own group may attempt to get closer to this person and cause more and more complications in their life. It's so intimidating! There is no escape, and that's why there's such a high number of politically apathetic people in a lot of countries. The moment you try making life "what it should be" you're a target and may end up in a place of responsibility where your actions can affect entire countries.

Of course they don’t. They envy Europeans and Americans that’s why they visit other countries if they can afford it.
Some of those towns were twinned because the people helped each other in times of hardship, it had nothing to do with government policy, it was between people, the Russian embassy in London posted this before the Ukraine war started, and it explained how women from England sent supplies to women in Russia during WW2 when they were struggling

Why would you refer to the monument as "so-called "?
Politics and propaganda is hell of a scary thing, it makes some ppl so outta touch with reality. And it’s a shame because I’ve met some really gd ppl, but once u try talking sense into them they take any kinda these disagreements as personal attacks.
This isn’t limited to Russia.
At the same time I pity those who didn’t agree with their government view but suffer the reputation non the less
It’s also funny how I find myself not wanting to find out what their views are on the subject when I met a Russian in my uni. In fear that what if they agreed with their government… I’d rather not know
Thats why democratic values have built in safe guards like 4 year double term limits etc so we dont get power hungry dictators ruling our countries, UNLIKE RUSSIA and other dictatorships.
It is a scary thing. Russians, Americans, British are are so in touch with reality because of propaganda.
True, met some people who are not the same political view as I am. She have this conservative mindset, so she favor countries like Russia at some point because in Russia "they punish the LGBTQ community" but at the same time she said she recognize them and respect their identity. Also she even said at the start of the war that Russia can conquer the world but to do that, there would be war and killing of people. Its ironic because shes religious and to be religious, you should condemn any killings and war. She doesnt make sense to me at all.
And why exactly are you so sure that you're not the one who's out of touch with reality? :) Have you personally been to Russia or Ukraine?
Why wouldn't you want to know their views? I always am interested in seeing how other people view things. Not just for empathy purposes, but you can't persuade the other side if you can't logically understand what their beliefs and their goals are.
It's like a sport, you have to understand that your opponent wants to win the game, and what they see as the best way to do that. Writing off their goals and how they see the game as propaganda and brainwashing and not the "true" reason they are doing things because it conflicts with your goal to win the game isn't a good strategy for you to win.
"The Bear never attacks first!" Unless it thinks it can, then it might... or if its just hungry...
If Russia is a bear, then its rabid, starving and angry due to its own actions.

Smart reporting.
Never attacks first? Right ok 😂
i agree.
She said Russian bear….Lady,,, Russia is so far from being a powerful military that the bear you’re talking about is more like a cub. If that!!!
you have no clue what your talking about, Naive .... NATO is only good at bombing innocent civilians in the dessert, and fighting farmers with AK´s. Pretty impressive, that Russia managed to repel a counteroffensive, of NATO trained and equiped troops (supported by 40 countries). You need a harsh reality check, instead of consuming 1 source of information (western propaganda). Russia is still advancing, while fighting with shovels,right? Avdiivka is a matter of time, Just like Bakhmut🤣
the citizens may like eachother, but the government does not care.
why won't the BBC provide audio translation? As a blind person content like this is incredibly frustrating
ask the thug ( putin ) why he doesn't want other people to have a view
It is same, that was in Germany 39-45 years. 😢 Read Haffner "History of the 1st german"
The difference is that Germans admited in the atrocities some of their government did. But russians will never admit in their atrocities. Will forever continue screaming abour defences and about the bear that "will not attack first"...
Why do you think people shouldn't help each other even in distress?

The Russian people are the only ones who will force a change in direction their country has taken but somehow I don't feel this will happen anytime soon as they have a very apathetic stance towards their governance.
They are apathetic to them being sent to KILL Ukrainians!--Perhaps some would rather not--inconvenient!
Putin's ideological slavery is a very hard mindset to shake off.
They are used to authoritarian rule since Stalin, so I don't think they are kind of people who had a willing to fight for Democracy,

Zelenskiy had a peace agreement 16 months ago but that didn't suit the political elites so Boris Johnson was dispatched immediately to tell Zelenskiy not to go with this peace deal!
The BBC will NEVER report this...
Finally some real comments and not British npc
peace deal from Putin is worth nothing. Just a stalemate and time to recoup resources and attack again.. quite boring Edit: Real peace deal MUST include third party countries, one East, one West and some in between working for both sides.. Good peace deal would include countries: RU, UA, US, China, Brazil, Turkiye, India (maybe)
Don't know about any peace agreement, but if Boris Johnson was "sent", I'd be very surprised.
He was fighting for his political life, and the greatest PR that could be gained would to be seen at the heart of a major conflict. Especially offering help to the victims.
Boris was there for the good of Boris.
@@mikebutler6308 Did you know Boris has interests outside his political career that he acquired using his political position?
He directly profits from the war, that's why he scuppered the peace deal.

As a Russian citizen I do want to have strong relationships with the west. Despite the fact our countries (leaders and “elites”) are having problems I believe Russia is part of the European civilisation and we should have being somehow united by this common sense. I hope these dark days shall have passed quickly enough for better future for all of us.
I wish Russia would become a cool place where people can be free.

As a Brit, I of course condemn what the Russian government is doing in Ukraine, and I'm not a fan of the domestic policies cracking down on protesters and even banning people from referring to the invasion as a "war", for instance.
However personally, I've never met a Russian I didn't like. You're a country of good people ran by a maniac.

No, they don't. You've been fooled. You don't get that kind of media freedom in the West.
RT is banned in the UK
In Russia, in general, there is much less censorship than you think (certainly less than in Western countries). But the fact is that Steve does not objectively reflect Russian reality - he only says what Western politicians want to hear
@@user-zh2od7ug5t That really does take the biscuit!
How many independent news outlets have been closed down by the Russian authorities? Isn't that the ultimate censorship?

There is nothing to hate or not to as we are all neighbours and we should encourage to love our neighbours and live with peace and support each others as together will accomplish many thing not divided among us as it's has nothing to bring but only destruction
The Russian public Mostly says its wrong to remove the monument, and the government let it be their because its history, and history never pick sides. But it cant be said for Europe removing amd canibalising soveit monuments. Just show their intellectual level.
Thank you for watching and for your comments.
Thank you for your gratitude
But not for the licence fee
I fear it is too much to hope for that media in the UK would provide a clear presentation of the Russian perspective. I guess that kind of perspective would be as unlikely to be found on our media as the Western perspective would be found on Russian media. It feels like through the media our governments are telling us what to think.
If this really is you then thanks for all your reports from Russia.
Thanks for your report, Steve. And so many previous ones.
May I also say, I was very moved by your comments at the end of the recently rebroadcast (perhaps by mistake) "Private Passions" radio programme in which you featured, and I certainly hope those sentiments come to reality.
Thank you. I really can't quite understand how you are allowed to stay in Russia?
The question is not whether they hate it or not. The question must be to get the red card when they try to break another player's leg.
There are a lot of people here against this terrible war and the Putin regime, but they are afraid to speak and act openly because of the huge prison terms even for the phrase “No to war”. Please don't believe the opinion polls that say the majority support this madness. I hope that someday Russia will become a normal democratic country that chooses peace instead of destruction.

Thanks for showing that there are different people and different angles of view. A lot of generalizations and propaganda slogans nowadays, but the reality is different on the ground.
A bear never attacks first but Russia attacked Ukraine 😂
That town might be a bit too close to Moscow. What do they think in Khabarovsk or Chita or Irkutsk? When I visited there 30+ years ago, they seemed to be peace loving people with no love for Moscow. Just wanting to get on with their lives. Moscow was a different world they said. Maybe that's not true now. I don't know but I'd wager all people around the world want is to live peacefully.

We must always, no matter what, work towards peace. We are all human beings and should be looking after one another. More than anything, we’ve got to work together to look after our planet. Cutting ties is not the way to go about it, we should cooperate, accept our differences and find common ground. The human race will always be better off for it
First step is to say no to NATO expansion. It’s causing a regional war now and may cause WW3.
Ask Russia to remove all its troops from Ukraine and only then you can talk peace talks.
