Family Guy is known to be a show that makes fun of different cultures, and Russia is no exception. There have been many Russian moments in Family Guy over the years, but recently in season 21 the show released entire Russian episodes: and they all take place in my Soviet hometown Chelyabinsk! As a Russian, I had to react to it. In this video we'll talk about how accurate it is, rate all the Russian jokes and look at Meg's life in Russia. Hope you enjoy and subscribe for more! Thx xoxo

YO YO NIGGA THIS MY FIRST COMMENT YEAHHHHHHHH
ASUP NIGAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS MY COMMENT
Z 4 life
As a person from Post USSR country myself , the only complaint i had for the episode's depiction of Russia is that Americans just assumed we live in the neighborhoods with private houses like they do , but the houses suck . While in reality , most people in Russia live in apartments .
did you not see the suburb area he was talking about at 5:48 seems pretty accurate to me
people living in apartments is really rare in Hollywood productions
I'm an American and I live in an apartment. Rent too damn high also. I wish I lived in a house so that I could build equity by paying off the mortgage, but I can't afford it right now :(
Im an American who rents my house to my girlfriend and her mom. Meanwhile I rent and live in a high rise apartment in downtown Miami so I get both of best worlds lol
As a person from former USSR myself - I would disagree with calling them "apartments", not even close, they are more like the projects in the Bronx
Family Guy is a truly equal opportunity offender. For every joke about a foreign culture, there are 10 jokes about Americans.
"Perfectly balanced, as all things shall be 👿"
I often just don't find Family Guy funny. Their jokes often feel like they're patting themselves on the back. It feels like they tried to make a something in-between Simpsons and South Park but it doesn't really work.
I hate Stewie...
And American Dad took those jokes and made a whole show outta it 😂
@@cyan_oxy6734 Family Guy is great. And American Dad. Cleveland show was alright as well.
I was a US Army Officer in Germany in 1990 as the Russian Army was leaving the former East Germany. I crossed into East Germany quite often to see the Russians leaving and met a Russian Lieutenant who cam from Chelyabinsk. I'll never forget those times! I hope that he is doing well today!
I was born in Munich in 86 to two American Army Officers (one NCO). My Dad was in MI and was on the other side of wall before and after it fell. I wonder if you knew each other.
Word on the street is your friend the Russian Army Lt got a red tranquilizer dart to the neck and locked up in Siberia for associating with a US Army Lt.

I ended up with a belt that a Russian Soldier sold in 1990 because they weren’t paying them and he didn’t have money to get home

Truly an American. Let me tell you a secret. Praying doesn't help.
It depends on what part of Chicago you live in.
The only crime I saw in Chicago when I was there two months ago was paying $19.74 for a small sandwich, chips and drink. But I was in O'Hare Airport...😂
As a person from Chelyabinsk, me and my friends couldn't stop laughing at this episode and we liked it a lot lol.
Yeah, I laughed almost as hard as when Dugyna lit up a cig. in her old man's car! Old man Duggy standing on the road side with hands on his head saying "Damn Dugyna! You ruined my lap top!"

I can say as a Canadian, Canadians love nothing more than when an American TV/show makes fun of Canada, especially when they did their research
From an American I can say we craft our jokes out of sheer love. Just friendly banter!
Apologize yourself!
The south park representation is Canada is hilarious lmao. The only thing I hate about American shows making fun of some countries are rather lazy and uncreative a lot of times. For example, the jokes they usually use about my country (you can guess it pretty easily) is that we are poor or about tech support scammers or about curry.
It's one of the few times we actually acknowledge your existence.
The stereotypes for both countries are fun. My son's in-laws are Hawaiian and when they visited my son and their daughter in Michigan, the first thing they wanted to do was visit Horseshoe Falls, Niagara Falls, Canada. When the friendly Canadian border guard said "Welcome to Canada, eh!", it made their trip.
As a Bavarian I can tell you that almost no American show should be taken seriously or you'll be offended all the time
What you being Bavarian has to do with that, just wondering.
@@Martsadog American stereotypes of Germans are often stereotypes of lederhosen-sporting Bavarians. So often that a sensitive but proud Bavarian's head would explode
@@kphaxx wait, they don't wear lederhosen and take mandatory yodeling classes? :(
As a Hessian, I can confirm that and can tell you that I don't only feel offended by Americans thinking we all wear Lederhosen and eat Bretzeln, but also by Bavaria and bavarian culture as a whole.
@@kphaxx Thanks for the answer, made me laugh thinking of that lederhosen bier drinking yodeling german with bratwurst on other hand.

When the meteorite fell in Chelyabinsk back in 2013, Russians were joking that a man in Chelyabinsk promised his girl to bring a star down from the sky for her, and he actually kept his word.
That's gold.
I’m from Cheliabinsk and the meteorite fell right on my 8th birthday, and to this day all of my relatives still joke about it being a gift from the aliens lol
That would be an instant jackpot!

Family Guy writers probably watched your content and thought "Hey lets make an episode about the hometown of that friendly Russian neighbour guy!" And here we are, we got this gold content.

Yes they are totally subscribers.

Nah, Cheblyansk is world famous for being one of the most polluted areas, with high amount of poverty.. And it has proper winters too, which tends to make buildings dilapidated faster if not properly built or maintained. At least the buildings are reinforced concrete so they don't fall down. no matter how many decades you do NOTHING to fix them.
If those writers really followed Roman, I feel like they'd make at least some small reference to him... but then again, maybe they couldn't figure out something, that wouldn't have been too much obvious and on the nose.
The fact that the makers of Family Guy can make absolutely degrading jokes about the United States and not have to worry about being pursued by the government unlike in Russia speaks volumes
We may not always have fresh jokes, but that's because we can kill our jokes without ever needing a helmet.

I'm not Russian, but I also enjoy the national anthem. There's something strong and stoic about it.
True.. I'm British.. I haven't a clue what the words are... but it still sounds potent.
the music for this anthem was written by a Ukrainian composer

There is a fun fact that in Poland we have one factory city but in fact it's a district of Kraków that was build in USSR times, it's called Nowa Huta in literal translation it's "New Ironworks" and the design of this city was inspired by Chelyabinsk.
Here in Hungary all of our cities are factory cities, built by the USSR

If you actually think about it, Chelyabinsk is like Russian Springfield from the Simpsons.

It is mostly fictitious, but the actual Springfield it is based on is Springfield, Oregon, a suburb of Eugene.

The Russian/Soviet anthems are pretty banger as far as anthems go. Super catchy, and the lyrics are so optomistic. If only we had a world that lived up to such an anthem
Idk why but these two anthems are kinda nostalgic to me. I'm 13 and I'm the Czech republic. It doesn't make sense.
National socialist anthem is better
Even things you dislike can have good things. Nazi were shit but they had some schnazzy uniforms.
In school some collegues made a whole presentation about it, and our class debated on how good it was. Let's be honest, it's a goated hymn
its the same anthem as that of the USSR but with new lyrics.. the original was the anthem of the bolshevics
th-cam.com/video/t3pNPFp21xQ/w-d-xo.html
We also have "russian reversal" jokes.
Like: "In America, you can always find a party. In Russia Party always finds you!"
Or: "In America, you can break a law. In Russia law breaks you!"
Was surprised he didn't include the old Family Guy gag with the English/Russian GPS:
"At fork in road, turn left. In Soviet Russia, road forks you."
In America you can break the law, because there's no more room thanks to the highest incarceration rate in the world.
In capitalist america, the bank robs you! (Thats the only one I knew, pretty accurate though)
Those are Yakov Smirnoff jokes.
Oh, guy, I heard at least 1000 of this.
15:52 "Asbestos Western" is another joke that works on multiple levels. There's a town (and a former gulag) nearby Chelyabinsk (well, just about 300km away), which is called Asbest (famous for largest asbestos mine in the world).
that's half a russia away bro.
@@yeetyeet7070 Half? LOL Russia is like 9000Kilometers wide.. A simple google search tell u its 204 kilometers from Chelyabinsk to Asbest, and the trip takes around 3 hours. How is that half a russia away?
@@jimmiekarlsson4458 many people live in countries that are small enough to be considered as a city in the big ones like the US or Russia, so they don't grasp the distances.

I grew up on the south side of Chicago near the huge factory district of Bedford Park in the 1970s. As soon as I saw the street of Chelyabinsk shown in the cartoon, I told my wife "That looks like where I grew up, why are they embarrassed?" I had no idea that the Russians compared Chelyabinsk with Chicago like that. The comparison is amazingly accurate!
Chelyabinsk was called as Ural Chicago because of massive "American" city's growth in the early 20 century. It had been inceased from 30k residents to 200k in 20 years.

I'm from Russia, and many cities here look like this, not just Chelyabinsk. If you think there are no such places in Moscow, you're very much mistaken. I have old videos of my neighborhood in Moscow in the nineties and they are not much different from 2023, except that there used to be more trees and greenery.
I visited St Petersburg in '92. It was quite an eyeopener, i'm Finnish so we knew something about the reality in Russia but it was way worse than i imagined. Everything was dirty and it felt quite unsafe. Someone was shot under our 2nd floor hotel window.... There was a hole in one of the main bridges where you could see the river below. It was the size of a basketball.. And food was just awful.
@@squidcaps4308 the 90s in Russia were definitely far more worse and dangerous than it is today. The criminal rate skyrocketed after the downfall of Soviet Union, it was pretty unsafe allmost everywhere as many criminal gangs and mafias started to rule the streets. Even my family had to deal with bandits and criminals back then.
I'm from Alabama and we have the same problem. There is a distinct line between the rich and poor just like Russia. The only difference is that is 90% humidity and 80°-90° degrees outside and tornados then the very next day it could be 50°-40°,Like I'm under severe thunderstorm warning right now as I'm typing this reply and my roof is leaking. Lol
I remember when I was in Moscow we found a great place with cheap drinks that didn't mind letting a bunch of Americans sit at a table for 5 hours. It sounded so great on paper (before smartphones) and it was a lovely establishment. The walk from the metro to the pub was where people would follow us to figure out how muggable we were. Cops too.
German here: My friend I just want to tell you that I am quite emotional about this whole situation because everybody seems to just "hate" the whole of russia which is not fair! I would love to once again visit the beautiful Russia and make new russian friends. This situation is so fucked up and I hate it. Much love from me to you my friend. Stay safe!

As someone who was born in Chelyabinsk, but raised in the United States. This is both incredibly surreal and hilarious at the same time. I probably shouldn't be so surprised because obviously Roman and the 2013 meteorite officially put Chelyabinsk on the map. But still I'm kind of shocked lol

They should make a Russian Family Guy spinoff and collab with Roman. He can be the voice of a character or maybe even be a cameo.
There already is a Russian version of family guy, a single movie called "Love & Doves." It features a Russian countryside family of a father, mother, grandparents, 3 daughters, and a grown-up son. The father was obsessed with bird-watching, and at some point he decided to go on vacation to Ukraine or Sochi or something, where he met this other woman and cheated with her. The funniest scenes in the movie was the reaction when the wife and the other woman met and started having a big fight.
Funfact: Meg is a sleeper agent which explains how she spoke Russian
Exactly! At least someone brought it up! 😂

Russian anthem does sound pretty damn majestic. In the film Hunt For Red October, the submarine crew is singing it, and they sounded great.
Fun factoids: that film came on UK TV about a year ago, after Feb 22, and I started watching it largely because of Sean Connery's fantastically funny Glaswegian Latvian accent. But right at the start of the film he (captain of the sub) has to murder the KGB officer in his cabin... and (as you may remember) the KGB officer is called ... "PUTIN"! A few minutes later, Sean is talking to the other officers in the mess and says these words: "You'd better follow my plansh [sic - Connery] ... if you don't want to end up like Putin!". That was amazing enough.
Anyway it then came on UK TV AGAIN, about 2 months ago, and for that moment in the mess alone I started watching ... but to my amazement, when it got to the scene in the mess they actually CUT that line "If you don't want to end up like Putin". After seeing this YT vid I assume that must be because the TV channel managers were afraid of FSB squads arriving and firing darts at their necks.
Yes! That Red October scene is what first impressed me with the majesty of the Russian anthem. Just wish Russia lived up to its greatness.
No shame for liking the anthem, it's a pretty damn good one.

"meg turned disney"
That's because disney owns family guy now
Well yeah - Disney does own it now, but original songs were a staple of the show for a long-ass time before that. It just shows that Roman wasn't very familiar with Family Guy before, because they've written, produced and animated - and still continue to - various musical numbers all the time.
It's basically the case with anything Seth MacFarlane does; whether it's Family Guy, American Dad, the Cleveland Show etc.
Really?! 😳 And they haven't ruined it yet!?!🤯

Imagine getting offended by family guy . Seth and the other writers take far more jabs at the US than any other culture . But they do go after everyone , which is great . Honestly I’d say it’s an honor to get a mention in family guy or south park
I mean, it's what they do. It's still funny though. It's kinda like how old school cartoons would do it. During WW2, Universal studios, Disney, Warner bros and others did it to the Germans, Italians, Japanese and others.
🚜💙💛
As a finnish person, I must agree that it should be taken as honor to be included in these shows, and my country was literally nuked in South Park. That said, I have my minor problems with our depiction in the episode. Mainly that the country's architecture (can be seen from window when Randy calls to Finland) was more central european looking. Also finnish english-accent is usually depicted as either german-like or as russian-like (german-like in this episode) whereas finns speak with more destinct accent since finnish isn't indo-european language. Also, what native english speakers would perhaps call finglish, finns themselves call 'rally english' (named in honour of finnish WRC rally drivers, look up 'up to the ass of Timo' from TH-cam for accent reference). But the nuking part was hilarious.
Lol yeah the place I'm moving never gets a nod so it's definitely cool to see them mention other places haha
Seth MacFarlane actually hasn't written for family guy for over a decade. He still does the voices though obviously.
I think the part about the priest declaring Ukraine part of Russia is a take on the stance of the Orthodox Church, for example patriarch Kirill of Moscow is very pro-war, which is an odd position for a religious person to take.
The russian orthodox church is literally the FSB
Religion has been used plenty of times to justify violence.
Not really, whenever Billy Graham went to Washington to pray with the President you knew we are about to f**k someone up.
Theres a huge split going on atm in the orthodox church, those in ukraine have mostly declared independence from russia.

The French one is probably best, everyone dies heroically in it.

Mila is a darling. Her rendition of the American accent in Russian is hilarious 😁
Just in case for those not in the know: Russian is Mila's native language, she speaks it perfectly IRL (albeit with a typical Southern Russian/Ukrainian accent), and it certainly takes her artistic chops to sound like a stereotypical American when speaking Russian.
Her Russian is good, but far from perfect. The way she speaks here is exactly the way I heard her speak in real life.
@@alexbrasovan no self respecting american would ever speak russian, i refuse to believe such an accent exists
@@alexbrasovan Mila makes some mistakes in russian grammar, but she speaks accent free russian in her interviews.
She's from Cernăuți...vey eclectic city.
@@matthewfors114 No one is gonna like your cringe comment.
Not gonna lie when they brought up Chelyabink I was like "Hey! That's where Roman is from!"
The song is amazing mockup of the "Bonjour" song from Beaty and the beast 😂
Meg was kidnapped and replaced with a Russian spy earlier on in the series. Never thought they'd ever reference that quick joke.
Chelyabinsk was called as Ural Chicago because of massive "American" city's growth in the early 20 century. It had been inceased from 30k residents to 200k in 20 years.
From Chelyabinsk with love =)
When he said: "Your city smells like sh...t"
That would mean it's also the New York of Ural.

I don't really like the Family Guy, but as a Russian I find this episode hilarious and at the same time kinda accurate
You are such a bridge. I love the offensive humor of Fam Guy… and I would like to see more like this…..
The show is named "The Griffins" in Czech Republic, too. Maybe the general idea you mentioned was used in more post-Soviet countries as well.
"family guy" is idiomatic in American English and almost certainly doesn't have a good translation in most languages.
its called Perepea here in estonia :D which translates to The head of the family :D
@@jurgenkoks9142 Same in Polish - Głowa rodziny, Head of the family.
@@RobespierreThePoof There is a perfect translation in russian: "семьянин"
@@RobespierreThePoof in polish the show is called “głowa rodziny” which means “head of the family”
You are absolutely allowed to like the Russian anthem. It is a superb piece of music and transcends politics simply by being epic.
Indeed! I don't know if that song will outlive the current political system of Russia, but if it does, I wouldn't be entirely surprised! It's catchy enough to be used by both the USSR and modern-day Russia!
you're missing the point. it was a remark on how much current russian government and personally putin made everything about them. this is why roman had to say this
@@leonbishop7404 I don't see how I'm missing the point though. I was literally saying that politics should not pervert his feelings towards the song, that would include what anyone else uses the song for. I'm a patriotic American and despise anything remotely "communist" but I still listen to that anthem on occasion simply because its brilliant and I find it interesting, its irrelevant whether or not Putin happens to agree.
It is Soviet anthem rebranded. When Putin came to power he brought it back. Russian anthem was different.
I dislike the Russian national anthem. It's not just because it's a Commie anthem with new lyrics but it's loud and brash and hurts my ears...
I'm as American as they come, apple pie, baseball, 4th of July, and all that shit but the Russian National Anthem is a beautiful piece of music, there's no doubt about that. Great video, Roman, keep 'em comming.
yea it is the best national anthem in the world
appart from the apple pie and baseball didnt orginate in America ^^ cant remember if 4th of July did xD
@1resser, Apple pie is English. Baseball, on the other hand, created in America.
17:18 "The idea of a Russian guy defrauding a privileged American girl to get a green card and move there is pretty funny to me". Dude, ... you had me laughing there harder than that whole Family Guy episode. 🤣🤣🤣
Bonus points: referring to a low middle class girl from Rhode Island as "privileged", HA HA HA
Bro compared to Eastern Europe she might as well be from Beverly Hills
My sister (we're Americans) had a boyfriend from North Macedonia who one day said she had to marry him in 2 days. Turns out, he wanted a green card because
he ended up marrying another American lady two days later. He still wanted to date my sister after that.
I'm italian and family guy jokes about my country are so funny to me, because mostly are true 😬😂
N9, it's because you are a traitor to your people and an American wannabe who doesn't care about his Roman and Etruscan culture 👉🇺🇲🧟♂️
"We now return to Cutting in Line in Front of Italians".
"That Italian family at that table is awfully quiet".
Hearing Meg speak Russians was really cool especially considering that Mila Kunis is Ukrainian.
the only thing is that they didn't translate the joke properly back into Russian.
The proper version would be "Можно вывезти девушку из Новосибирска, но нельзя вывезти Новосибирск из девушки".
It's an ironic phrases meaning that people from a provincial town can leave it, but it never really "leaves them" (their culture and behavior stays the same)
@@Anon-y4whey'we chosen the wrong town for the joke. Novosibirsk is not provincial at all, in fact its 3rd largest metro area, just after Moscow and St. Petersburg. It would be better to choose smth like Tambov, Uryupinsk or Novokuznetsk as an example of truly provincial town.
@@ЕвгенийЗубарев-р3щ Yeah, I think something like Perm or Vologda would suit better
You are kinda missing the point here. Mila Kunis is a Jewish American born in USSR. She has nothing to do with Ukraine and does not consider herself UKRAINIAN. In fact she always mentioned her RUSSIAN food, cartoons and heritage.
@@Anon-y4w Perm is also a big city. Vologda suits ideally.
Mila moved to US from Chelyabinsk when she was 16. She was telling Judy Dench on the Graham Norton show.
8:45 in the media those huge towers are always shown as some illustration of polluting but those towers are cooling towers, not some poisoning gases rising from them, but pure water steam.
They are next to power plants and they condense the steam in them to regain water for the plant. So If you see these kind of huge towers next to a power plant that's a good sign because that means they recycle the water from the used steam and the plant uses less water.
So those huge tower actually makes the power plant more enviroment friendly.
It would be even more efficient if they used district heating to cool the water.
@@CTimmerman they do in Russia. Electric plants (heat-electric centrals) dump only excessive heat there. It always baffled me why central heating connected to powerplants is not so common in other places, where the energy is more expensive, including China.
Even from an AnCap perspective, you can sell electricity AND heat to the customers + your grid won't be destroyed by the demand in case of an extreme cold. Heating pipes won't burst in flames no matter how much residential demand is there, unlike the electrical grid. And you can bill accordingly.
Remember that in one episode they made a joke about Meg being killed and getting replaced by a Russian lookalike. So that explains why she speaks Russian
hey Roman ! on a serious note .....who else did put Cheliabinsk on the map ? and yes the producers of these episodes did very likely study your content . your fan base is bigger than you think man !
I don't doubt that the FG writers watch Roman's vids. Especially to find some humour in this terrible situation.
However, the falling star literally put Chelyabinsk on people's maps internationally. Especially as at the time, russia was opening up more, and the videos of the event were so widespread, yet no one perished.
My guy the Tractor Factory! Also from Chelyabinsk
Well there was a meteorite in 2013 that officially put Chelyabinsk on the map. Not trying to diminish Roman's work here but he only started talking about his city in like 2017.
Chelyabinsk was a "Secret City" during the Soviet days due to its economy revolving around making military weapons and nukes. It wasn't meant to be known by the general Western public and it fairly succeeded in that regard...
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 Yep! But not just one city, there were many other cities in the Chelyabinsk region and the Soviet Union where people were tracked and it wasn't easy to enter or leave them.
Good luck to you man, like your content!
As a person from Poland i can assure you, we have far more than 3 jokes about Russia
As a Hungarian I can assure we can add more, but our government doesn't like them nowadays.
Long one, but:
Finally Obama gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.
When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Obama got to call USA so cheaply. The devil smiled and replied: "Since Trump took over, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call."
We dont have jokes about Poland (at least i havent heard such)
@@Daikini0Orban is such a c*nt
@@aaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyeah, it is true. People's in Russian don't know much about Poland. Maybe something from news and that's all.

That was funny man, There's nothing wrong in being proud to be Russian Roman. You can be a proud Russian and still disagree with what Putin and the Z nut jobs are doing. All the best mate !👍

I had to laugh out loud about the healthcare joke at 14:20. Those silly Americans with their overly expensive healthcare 😂
Man, you are playing a very important role in these unfortunate times. Divisions, hate and polarization are sky high, we need bridges and connections to the ground.
You did it in a very laid back way with great humor. That "I meeeeeeeaaaaan" cracked me up.

Что общего у русских с Западом, так это то, что нас обоих заменяют собственные правительства. На западе у них открыты границы для африканцев и арабов. В России тебя заменяют чуркой.
I appreciate this kind of reaction content where you actually provide cultural context. Nice surprise!
Mila Kunis actually immigrated from Ukraine to the US when she was around 4. Her first language I believe was Russian. I don't think the family spoke Ukranian.
Great video.
I was annoyed the names on the gravestones were Ivan Ivanovich and Ivana Ivanovich, when it should be Ivana Ivanovna.
Strange, as you say everything else was pretty accurate.
It's interesting when you say "I don't feel it", when referring to smell. My wife is Russian and she says the same thing. It must be something about how smell translates from Russian to English.
Yeah! We "feel" the smell.
As a Russian with C1 English, I haven't even noticed that I've been saying "I feel" referring to smells all the time.. Makes sense since in Russian we say "to feel smell" like "I feel the smell of sweat", not "I smell sweat", etc.
Yeah, to feel and to smell (to smell a smell) is literally the same word in Russian. There is a distinct verb for to smell, but what it means is to breathe the air near something on purpose of smelling the smell of it (doesn't translate too well to english). I think, it comes from how we learn non native languages, we essentially start from first thinking of what we want to say in our native language, then translate it to English and only then say it. Takes some practice to start forming ideas right away in English. I don't have this problem though, probably because I was a bit shy to speak a language I barely knew and because of it had predominantly listening and reading practice with almost no speaking or writing practice when I was starting to learn english
@@__username1I think the word you are looking for is “sniff.”
@@ChronicUnderachiever420 Yep, that's the word, thanks
It was good to see you honestly just enjoying it. Not a lot of stress or anything, just enjoying the satirical part of it.
Brian is usually politically aware according to the lore of the show
It was a joke on politically aware people ignoring the war and trying to force an unequal peace
@@angelcabeza6464 Yep, the "pacifism" that we can see in some left well thinking sphere, I found it pretty spot on.
@@trartalacrem It's like forcing the chickens to live in peace with the foxes, while the foxes are crying about chickens eating all their food. That is the best analogy possible regarding the political discourse regarding russia's invasion of ukraine. The only solution is to get the foxes out of the chicken coup.
@@trartalacrem I think "right" are more for this "peace". Just look at what trump said before. All radical trumpists are into "give rusia what it wants", "we owe nothing to ukraine" and "our own people must be in priority"(that's not bad, but in such context it sounds more like populism).
@@worldspam5682
Yes, the majority of this people are definitely coming from the right and from my European perspective i would call it far right. But Brian represents the left "elitist" tendency liberal in the show and you have some people in this sphere of influence that use the same arguments such as "if you want peace don't give more weapons to Ukraine". In some country like Italy and Germany it can get very weird, seeing in some protest real neo-nazis side by side with some old school leftist in "anti war rallies". Cheers.
I think the Russian anthem is by far the best national anthem out of all the countries. When they play it in the Red October movie it's kick ass.
I prefer the French one, but yes both are pretty hard hitting. A shame that Russia went back to using the same anthem as the Soviet one with different lyrics though. But then again, that's basically modern Russia overall.
I was born in Russia and was adopted in 96 I have family still there and hope to go back and see them soon. Love ur channel and watch every episode
Just so you know there was an episode you missed that involves a Russian spy who looks 1:1 like Meg and kills the original Meg and replaced her, so technically this Meg is Russian
Which would explain her fluent Russian and her implication that she grew up in Chelyabinsk.
Chelyabinsk is basically like the Detriot of Russia from what I hear from NFKRZ
First time I ever heard the Russian Anthem was while watching The Hunt for Red October (really awesome film that was probably banned in Russia because it was about a Russian submarine captain and his officers who attempt to defect to America with the latest Russian first strike nuclear sub). At one point, they all started singing, and their singing slowly melded into a professional men's choir singing 4 part a Capela. I have no idea what the words say, but the music really is top tier.
The movie is based off the 1975 mutiny aboard the Soviet destroyer Storozhevoy... So probably...
i thought he was gonna watch a russian version of family guy lol
I think that anyone who's grown up in a Russian provincial town can easily recognize the area from the beginning of the video. It's kinda similar to the 'спальный район' or 'bedroom suburb', densely filled with 'kruschyovka' tenements from 1960s. Literally every post-Soviet city or town has one or more of those.
Sorry if a dumb question, but does this mean it is bedrooms only? Like shared bathroom and kitchen?
@@tylerriojas6250 No. Ha-ha-ha))) It's a populated area that is primarily residential rather than commercial or industrial
@@Алехандро-ъ6л ohhh it's a building design from 1960s . I'm dumb. We have like buildings with shared kitchen and bathrooms lol
I think this episode makes the one where Meg was replaced by a Russian lookalike canon! I'm surprised no one caught on!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Russian man with hair this long. Majestic.

As a person raised in Chelyabinsk, I enjoyed watching this video so much
My grandma had carpets on the walls and we're not even close to being from a Soviet country haha. We are from Switzerland but our part of the country used to be very poor until the early to mid 20th century and there's a few similarities with eastern countries because of it like the widespread use of sunflower oil and rye products, beets are also a big thing here since that's how we used to get all our sugar. Some aspects of the culture too like old ladies used to wear headscarves
Carpets on walls are to isolate noise coming from the neighboring appartement. Was very useful in the old soviet buildings.
Covers up holes and cracks too.
It‘s just warmer with a carpet on the wall.
"beats are also a big thing here since that's how we used to get all our sugar." I think you mean beets (as in sugar beets). "Beats" are slang for music and, while music can be sweet, you can eat that sweetness ;-)
@@hughmungus1767 Yes, my bad haha. I'll fix that, thanks
Every one likes the soviet hymne. Not because of the text, but because of the melody. It is epic.
Russia uses the same music, but the lyrics changed from Soviet times.
Что не так с советским текстом?
@@karlwalther It is socialistic. You could even say communistic. Tge text would actually be alright if the government of the "DDR" (=East Germany), which declared itself to be socialist, had not done certain things such as having people spied on by the Stasi, forbidding people to travel to a Western country such as the "BRD" (=West Germany) (i.e. possibly to their relatives) and trying to abolish Christianity. Didn't people also die of starvation in the Soviet Union when Stalin was governing it? I am really not a Nazi, but communism and socialism always have a bitter taste for me. The reasons mentioned above are only my personal reasons. I am well aware that there are socialists in the world that are not like the "DDR"-government or Stalin. And besides, I think it is possible that there are even more reasons not to like socialists and/or communists.
@@hfitfxhfhfufgugugu6589 Stasi pretty much the continuation of the SS but under Communism and yes a lot of country are socialist today a lot of European country follow what they Call Democratic socialism and almost all frist world country follow some part of it such as Healthcare, Worker Rights, Welfare state etc only a few Frist world country will rather not follow any socialist value like America
@@hfitfxhfhfufgugugu6589Думаю Россия не может поддерживать социализм, потому что она слишком большая для этого и у нас мало людей, да и в целом чистый социализм не возможен, поэтому я считаю что китайцы гении ведь они сделали сраный капитал-социализм, они совмести противоположное и у них отлично вышло.

Rug on the wall is a pretty central Asia thing we had those in the old times in the Turkey too(It is a tradition that came from our Turkic ancestors). It has practical reason for it too basically heat insulation and it was working pretty okay. We have different patterns and thickness for wall rugs tho. Since real rugs is pretty heavy for the wall and painting like depictions works better for walls rather than symmetric patterns. Nowadays it is seen as a tacky thing but it is because they are not many who produce new modern patterns that fit modern furniture since there is no demand.
This is a great channel. I am glad that I found it.
