While it usually turns out that the people are usually with views polar opposite of mine, I do enjoy a lot when the interviewer is welcomed inside someone's house/property which offers an additional glimpse into certain types of Russian villages/towns outside of the major cities and their suburbs
I hope that in Russia, in the government of the Russian state, too, eventually normal, sane people, real Russians will come (We are talking about the Russians/Slavic people and not about other peoples that live in the Russian Federation), because Russia, historically, culturally, in the form of the East Slavic ethnic origin of the Russians (and not in the person of the same supporters of Putin, the current rulers of the Russian state), in the form of Russian cultures, Russian culture, is also part of Europe. Russians, like Ukrainians, are the East Slavic people of Europe by ethnic origin. And of course, also, I wish Ukraine, the Ukrainian people all the best and peace... I myself am from my mother's side of Slavic-Ukrainian-Russian origin...
That last guy: "Russia is the most democratic country in the world!" A few minutes later: "Let's see what I just said because I don't want to face the consequences of it. I don't think I said anything bad anyway." I don't even need to comment on this....
Russia is a democratic country and I feel free and comfortable here and can do what i want. In democratic USA. , Canada or United Kingdom you would go to jail for saying the n*ger word.
@@julipancakes1153 Madam, you're in youtube comments section. When you finish watching an episode of a TV show, do you stare at the cupboard under the TV to read what others have to say about that show?
Every day I go to a local bakery here in south-east Poland, I walk past by a small old cemetery. There is a part of it dedicated to people who were murdered by the russian red army. It's a pretty sizeable part for "never attacking civilians".
And in most parts of the world, it's your allies The US, The UK, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands who murdered and oppressed millions but I guess as long as they didn't attack Poland, you're fine with them. This is one of the reason I'm not anti-Russia and do not care what they do because in wars, there's no good guys and bad guys, there's only sides. Russia ain't the bad guy, they are just not on your side due to some history your country shares with them. You have no issue align yourself with bad guys who did 100 times worse than Russia because those bad guys didn't hurt your country. In this conflict, I'm team Russia, not because I agree with their actions but because the "good guys" have hurt my country and Russia never did. Same thing most of you anti-Russia are doing.
''Our Russian soldiers would never do that, attack civilians, they aim to achieve peace through peaceful means.'' Propaganda works so well with older folks, its sad to see. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for intelligent people in this country.
"I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for intelligent people in this country." I think most intelligent people already fled Putin's failed country
@@cyberash3000 Russia’s been after Ukraine and other areas (i.e. the former Soviet Union) for several hundred years in order to make a defensible perimeter around Russia-proper. You know that right?
Every time they claim that the Russian army has never once targeted civilians, makes me cringe. They really should look back at their history and actually visit the countries that Russia has invaded and look at the scares they left behind.
@@alexsilent5603 But they destroyed existing buildings first, just like in Mariupol now. There's no justification, and rebuilding what the attackers destroyed is nothing to celebrate.
I am always amazed by how people living miserably in a frozen shithole talk about how fortunate they are to own all the resources, and how they should bring their world to the rest of us.
They’re deluded and starved of truthful information sources. The strange thing is, if they were to discover their tv lies to them every second breath, I think they still wouldn’t care. As the saying goes, it is easier to deceive someone a second time than to make them realise they were deceived in the first place.
First lady suggesting Russia should just attack anyone and everyone. These are simply people wanting to express their anger on others due to their unhappy life.
I think that most russians are like this...they have shitty lives and then they want to just screw others aswell , I live next to Russia and its soo funny when I see Russians in here who approve of this war and say how shitty European union is and NATO but when you tell them to go and live in Russia if EU is sooo bad then they say that they dont want to go :D:D:D I wonder why?
0:40 it's strange how you can have such an approach to eliminate an independent democratic state where similar people live, because poles are also slavs. how politics and propaganda can deceive a man, as a Pole I am terrified
@@jimbob7281 Well Jim Bob, I really did burst out laughing at that. I'll copy/paste it so that others can get a laugh too. """"" ....... Russia has contributed tremendous amounts to poland (any older pole will tell you this). Doubly so for ukraine. And make no mistake Poland is far from independent and democratic."""""
The west 60 years ago was still better than them now, and they believe themselves to be an authority telling others how to live. We in Ukraine said we've had enough of their influence and lifestyle and you see what happened
Dear foreign friends! I have already communicated in the comments, and I consider it important to write separately, as a person living in Russia, what is happening here. I was engaged in the analysis of the situation, daily views of various sources, lecturers, polls and studies on the topic of the war, and therefore I consider my experience quite unbiased (although it is not easy even for me to write scientifically and without emotions from what is happening here in 1984). So, the majority of Russians living in Russia really say that Putin is doing well and doing everything right (about 90% of the population). But this cannot be interpreted one-sidedly. Firstly, most people do it out of inertia and unwillingness/impossibility to study politics, which is normal, because it is unusual for people to be interested in politics if it does not concern them. Most Russians believe that politics does not concern them, because incomes, as a rule, do not fall (sanctions really do not work for ordinary people, since most of the population does not travel abroad, does not use foreign services, does not study science and does not read foreign sources). Almost the entire country, however, believes that there really are no independent courts in Russia, that everything around is bought. Therefore, Russians rarely go to court, do not fight for any rights (even for their own), are afraid of conflicts over poor public transport, unreasonably high rents, and so on. But at the same time, they believe that officials and the city administration are to blame. But not Putin! This is truly terrible. Most Russians say that war is bad, but they say that we had no choice, and the US and Ukrainians hate us. In general, this is already pleasing, if only because people do not approve of murders as such. There is a huge generational gap in Putin's approval. The generation of 20-30 years old as a whole will say that Putin is well done, but they will not particularly answer further questions, since they admit that they do not understand the topic. But in the 40+ generation, something terrible begins. They perceive Putin as a religious figure, on the level of their parents, believing that he is never wrong. They are desperately trying to justify his actions with the most stupid arguments. This is due to the Stockholm syndrome experienced in the nineties. They believe that democracy does not work, and the United States and the West allegedly did not help us and wanted us to be poor. Almost all films in Russia showed the nineties as a time of poverty and devastation. They are afraid of freedom, because it was at the beginning of the 2000s that huge economic growth began under Putin due to the increase in oil sales (obviously, Putin did not contribute to this, but they believe that it was him). It can be seen that these people have a neurosis, and they really believe that everyone wants to kill them, because the president said so. The scariest thing is that most of the people 40+ really think that beating their people to death with batons is the right thing to do. What to plant and poison the opposition - that's right. That directing a nuclear bomb at the United States is right. And the older the generation, the crazier their speeches become, and the level of aggression reaches the desire to kill the whole world. But! Not everyone is like that, but only a large part of the population. And this majority really does not want any rights either for themselves or for others. Therefore, it is worth understanding that even the Russians themselves suffer from them, and not just the Ukrainians. And that, therefore, you should not generalize to all Russians, because, generalizing, you do exactly the same thing, considering all people to be bad because of the majority (moreover, the middle-aged majority, which probably won’t even go to your countries). Secondly, there are many people who understand that Putin is insane. But it is these people who have critical thinking, they read the opposition media. And, as a rule, it is they who can find a good job, know foreign languages and emigrate. Therefore, it is impossible to calculate the exact number of Russians who are against the war. There is not even open data and an unambiguous opportunity to interpret the number of people who left. Russians are generally not inclined to be interested in politics. Political videos on TH-cam get very little views, and it's obvious that people really think they can't change anything. Russians don't like to read the opposition media, because they show all the bad things that are happening here. Their mood deteriorates, and they prefer to sit in the echo chamber, which says that everything is not so bad in Russia, that the West has its own propaganda, and we have our own. That not everything is so simple, and Ukraine also dressed up. All oppositionists are convinced that democracy will be brought on a silver platter. That the regime will weaken, the elites will want democracy, and this is where we will act (and they themselves do not know how they will act). Russians cannot unite in almost anything because of the totalitarian past and the authoritarian present. The opposition itself quarrels among themselves, and it is not clear how it can even come to power. So overall it's really bad. But if you consider all Russians as fascists, it will be even worse. Autocracy and the Soviet Union turns people into beasts, not vice versa. Therefore, fight for democracy in your countries, fight against right-wing populists who want to make the country great. What makes a country great is cooperation with others and respect for all people. Perhaps my generation (I'm 24) will also come to this if Putin's regime is replaced by something softer. But there is little hope for this, and hope is the only thing we have left among the zombie older generation who want to send us to the Middle Ages.
It feels to me like a lot of the war supporters in Russia outwardly think "Russia is great, so we should subjugate all these people so that they can live under the same great regime", but inwardly truly feel "everything is terrible, why should they get a shot at a good life when we can't? We should subjugate these people because if everyone is in a terrible situation, at least I won't be alone in it."
Contrary to what one of the interviewees said, the British don't hate Russians. We hate what your Government is doing to your people and most especially to Ukrainians. I'm 62 but not easily gaslighted. I didn't vote for Brexit or our fake ex pm Johnson. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine and Russia. You are all being abused and used by Putin.
Democracy isn't about free speech; that's a Republic. Democracy is power to the people. A Republic is rights to the people. Believe it or not, there have been totalitarian democracies, like ancient Greece.
@@Ranstone well I live in Sweden and here we have free speech and that "power to the people" you talk about. We also have rights, or "rights to the people" as you say. If you take one of those away, it's not a democratic country, believe it or not. Saying Russia is a democracy, is just denial from russians who don't want to acknowledge the fact that they live in a dictatorship. Either that, or they are just afraid of the consequences of being caught saying something negative about their government. Also a country can't be a dictatorship and a democracy at once. It's like saying a fruit is a banana and an apple.
@@Ranstone The contempory meaning of democracy in my view needs to include that periodically the voters get deciding who will rule and who will have the right to pass legislation. For that to happen in a meaningful way all adults have to be in a position to cast their ballots and there has to be free speech. Without free speech the voters will not hear a range of positions and will not be in a position to make informed choices. (BTW, if there have been totalitarian democracies - apartheid South Africa being a better example than ancient Greece - there have been far more totalitarian republics!!!!!!!!)
What else can they say, Russians I know are a very Patriotic people but are also good people, it is the leaders who are the Bastards in all of this, there are many people who are in Prison like Navalny who have given up their Freedom for the people, but I am afraid that many Western Powers did nothing, after What the Putin did in Salisbury England with Novichok, that should have been the wake up call, but everyone did nothing including our own lame Government in the UK, at that time and still now Many Russian Oligarchs owned vast swathes of London property and sent their Children to British Schools not only English but Welsh and Scottish to, Atlantic College in Glamorgan South Wales certainly had Politburo and Oligarch Children Educated there in the past. I think we would be afraid also and this Young Gentleman at least is making a go of doing something in Russia, Ukraine is a sad look in to the World of Mr Putin as he sees it, he should be reminded , that Billions of lives on this Planet see it differently ! Including in Russia.
"I'm not good at politics, but I want friendship and peace on Earth" There are actually some sparkling stars among the babushka's still. Just watching it gives some hope we are gonna survive the politicians and everything above.
"I think our country is the most democratic state in the world." "I think a lot of people share my perspective, but at the same time, I don't want to face the consequences for expressing it." I think his editing skills leave a lot to be desired.

Wow the way this video ended was SO powerful and so telling! This was filmed and edited masterfully. I really appreciate this level of pure journalism 🙏🏽
@@Danny_ll True; but of course in this case it is arguably counterbalanced by the fact that there is not much more moral hazard here than there is ambiguity that jailing and whacking people for opposing a hostile autocracy also shapes a narrative ...
@TFactory yes the pause was almost as if it was for comical effect. Think that’s what made it so funny. But in reality it isn’t funny, it’s a little sad to see. Like you say these people are his core support and they don’t have a pot to pi$$ in and he couldn’t give a toss about them either.
Of course he had to pause.... he had to scour his memory for the last 20 years! And now we know the good news that he doesn't have to shit in a bucket. Glory to Russia, etc.
It's not funny, though. So many Russians have no clue what's really going on and those who do often deny it. If you think a moment like 6:10 is funny, remember that that delusion is the result of massive propaganda, censorship, oppression, and ignorance. People are dying every single day in Ukraine thanks to ignorance and intolerance that is showcased by people like this. The "democratic" guy is just a tragedy of being lied to and believing it. People calling Putin a hero or great leader should be saddening and disgusting to anyone with a heart.
The Russians were formed from East Slavic tribes, and their cultural ancestry is based in Kievan Rus'. Genetically, the majority of Russians are identical to their East and West Slavic counterparts; unlike northern Russians, who belong to the Northern European Baltic gene pool.
Gotta love the guy who said that Russia is the most democratic country in the world...and then told Daniil to let him help edit his interview for fear of getting in trouble for what he might have said. Hah!
Question: Are other countries responsible for all of Russia’s problems? People say Russians will always blame others and never take responsibility for causing our own problems.
Of course other countries are responsible for all Russia problems. If other countries would not be so dangerously free and provocatively developed then Russia would not look like undeveloped shythole country that it is! Therefore it is Russian tradition to invade every few years one of its neighbors to bring them to "Ruski Mir" level of existence so that Russian dont feel alone in their misery.
Yes, even out in the sticks; his anxiety to self censor is diagnostic of the totalitarian state that Russia is. So much for it being “the most democratic country in the world,”
Great video, as always. You are a very respectful journalist, which was the first thing that made your videos stick out to me. You ask loaded questions but never interrupt or argue anything. It is very admirable.
"''I love everyone and all countries'' ''...our allies I mean''" All 5 of them. You know you're on the wrong side of history when your handful of friends include North Korea and Iran
The more I watch the more I realize that it is useless. The people won´t tell you what they think. How do I know? I am Czech. And I know how it was before 1989. If a reporter asked you something on the streets you would just autamatically go with the government line. And you would say something completely different behind closed doors. Like the last guy. And I understand why Daniil doesn´t want to compromise him. We have absoulutely no clue how many questioned people say what they trully think. The level of oppression in Russia is reaching those in former Soviet Union once again.That beying said I still am amaized by the cruelty of Russians. They have it in them. Already in 1844 a Czech writer K.H. Borovsky wrote this: "I went to Russia as a Slav and came back as a Czech. It's a country of misery, squalor, booze and extensive literary works about misery, squalor and booze. I can testify that the Russians think of other Slavs not in a brotherly way, but in a dishonest and selfish way. I prefer the Hungarians, who fight us openly, to the Russians, who approach us with a Judas kiss and then put us in their pocket. These gentlemen begin to say and write Slavic instead of Russian, so that they may say Russian instead of Slavic.
Back in 1987 I was traveling a bit off piste in CZ. I needed to extend my visa. An ordinary procedure, involving exchanging a some Western currency per day for a stamp. This was in a small garrison town, and I had to find a police station with «foreign police» service. Not easy. The hotel manager told me to drive to a part of town out in the suburbs. There I saw uniforms all over the place and various, unidentified, but very official gates. Stopped a guy in airforce uniform, a lieutenant. He spoke some English. Told him what I needed to do, he was not sure and started pointing at different uniforms. - That is the traffic police, hm. No. That is the military police, hm. No. That is the criminal police. Hm. No. I pointed at a guy in a different uniform, a formal outfit with tie: - What about him? I asked. The lieutenant looked at me, with a wry smile, and mustered his best English: - No, he’s one of those fucking Russians! (direct quote) We both laughed, and he finally found the correct police station sign. They could help me.
@@MrRadimson Well they DO lots of stuff in Ukraine and we have intercepted phone calls in Ukraine from Russian soldiers that heavily reflect the views on this channel.

You are doing great work. It looks like the answers really depend which neighbourhood you are in. Some people give me hope but some people are just depressing to listen to
Why on earth would anyone want the 'Russian way' of living. I have Russian and Kazakh family and outside of the main cities especially I just see a country stuck in the 19th century, but whether in or out of the city everything is dependent on corruption and who you know. Dreadful.

Steve Rosenberg, BBC's Russia Editor in Moscow does a weekly review of the Russian Press . He usually posts it on Twitter #ReadingRussia, or look for him on the BBC News website.
There is a huge educational task ahead of telling the Russians how extremely distorting the Kremlin's propaganda has been. And a year-long process of self-examination afterwards.
@@yidiandianpang: Yes. Immediately after WW2, many Germans thought that the only thing the Nazis had done wrong was lose the war. It took a generation to change their minds.
That's one of the most profound issues facing Russia and the RoW after this war… and Fred is right, it will take a least a generation. Germany managed that kind of self-examination, but only after total military defeat. Japan has done it half-heartedly. Not much to build on, i'm afraid. It's going to be one heck of a task.
This is not our job we have no buisness and we would be seen as propagandists if we tried. This has to happen inside russia itself we just need to supply the information. We dont want to hurt russia we have never wanted to hurt russia we just want it to be less of a wildcard. Right now russia is like the lion roaming the neighbours yard it seems tame but we All know it will strike.
It baffles me how some Russians so nonchalantly talking about the annihilation of other countries and its people just because their policies doesnt align or kowtowing to Russia. The clear lack of empathy in these people is very concerning.
I wish the interviews were longer and more in depth tho. So many of these people have had their boys taken away to war where they most likely died or are about to die anyway. The amount of trauma these families have been carrying for centuries, it doesn't surprise me these people are nonchalant about it. This is their reality. It's easy to dehumanize people during wars but don't forget they are real people too.
He provoked them into saying that by asking leading questions continuously until they agreed with him. Most people in Russia don't think the Ukraine war is about "bringing Russia" to Ukraine, he just kept repeating that line trying to provoke patriotic sentiment in people so that they would eventually say something he was looking for. He was even suggesting countries in order to get lines from people like "Poland? Yeah sure. Let's blast them". He's just trying to coax people into saying certain things so he can portray Russians as the jingoistic neanderthals that he thinks they are. Biased channel with a political agenda.
It's so nice that Russian Federation has peacefull military, it's the first of such to exist. Usually I'd imagine soldiers carrying rifle, and being trained to kill with no remorse, such a fantastic country Russian Federation is, to make peacefull military.
I like your biting irony! 😊 But interestingly recently I had a conversation with a member of the German Bundeswehr who was about to be retired a few weeks later and who had to take part in some missions like Afghanistan. He to told that under no means they were allowed to shoot even if they were spitted at and we're aggressively threatened. Only at real shootings they were allowed to fight back; he said that it was not easy for him and his comrades.

The casual bloodthirstiness of the older generation is really sad and alarming. Of course not all people are like that, but I am not used to hearing that at ALL, ever, from anyone, so it's really disturbing to hear a sweet little grandma come out with that sort of thing. The closest thing I can think of is once when I was in Germany, supervising a bunch of teenagers on a trip. We were visiting a religious building and a teen girl wanted to ask for prayers for someone she knew. One of the workers in the building, an older lady, immediately started scolding her harshly for being in a part of the building she didn't think teenagers should be in. One of the other leaders of our group (a German in his 20s or maybe 30) made sure the teenager was all right after that exchange, and then came to me (a foreigner) to talk about it. "This grandma was raised in a generation without love," he told me by way of explanation. I think of that when I see these elderly people talk so casually about murdering people in other countries. Perhaps they were raised in a generation without love. And so their relationship with authority is unhealthy, they are unable to understand why all of this is wrong, and they don't understand how things could change. They are thinking on survival level only. And to those who do not want to harm others and who are against war, all too often, they are blinded by the media telling them that they are the ones being attacked, not the other way around. (I always want to ask these people, what part of Russia did Ukraine invade? In which oblast of Russia is there a battle going on with NATO? The answer is none, of course...) The good thing about Germany is that the younger generation DID change. I wish Russia luck (and I wish for them a lot of smart 24 year olds with brains and perseverance to change things).
Smart comment - When I was a kid and was severely chastised by older people, my mom would smile, tell me not to be bothered and that "Those people had a tough life."
That is exactly what RuZZia is about,-- hatred to all of its neighbours, and hatred to the US, and "love" for their Putler Khan! Ukrainians protested on the Maidan and DEMANDED change----Georgians recently are doing the same! RuZZians seem to ALLOW Putlers to exist (although there is a minority who do oppose) , but not only exist, but support and want to drag others down to their level or destroy them! Sorry for those few RuZZians who are normal--but RuZZians ARE guilty!--Instead of FIGHTING against their government for their OWN freedom--they WILLINGLY go to DIE in neighbouring countries TO KILL, TORTURE, MURDER, RAPE, and GENOCIDE!--You can make up all sorts of EXCUSES for them but this is TRUE---------RuZZians are willing to die to KILL, but UNWILLING to die to PREVENT killing!
Lots of people around the world grow up without love in dire situations and aren't murderous assholes. Trying to tolerate and excuse such people is why fascism is on the rise.
you have a good understanding of the situation. I have been thinking about this for many years, but you probably explained it better than me! if you read what repressions and sufferings were in the USSR, you will understand these people, for the most part they were serfs all their lives and the first freedom was in 1992, it did not last long and in 2008 it became clear to many that the Chekists would not give up power. People are atomized and unhappy, the USSR is the most terrible experiment on the territory of the whole of Europe! from 1918 to 1953, more than 40 million people died, in repressions and resettlements alone, Stalin killed more than 14 million people, but in fact, there is no exact data, perhaps these figures should be multiplied by 2 !! The Holodomor in Russia and in Kazakhstan and Ukraine is a separate calculation. most are slaves and their living conditions are terrible, aesthetically and physically. nihilism and lack of thinking due to lowness and atmosphere. Moscow has been destroying Russia for several centuries now.... For Russia, the decuentralization and autonomy of the regions is obligatory....otherwise it will be an endless circle of darkness and violence. The country needs to be divided, but the West of Europe does not want this, it could be done, but the EU countries strengthened and contributed to the worst 'gopnik' from Europe ..

@1420channel Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Firstly thank you for your courage in making and posting these videos which provide us all with an honest account of the average Russian person's thoughts on current affairs. I often think the fastest route to world peace would be to force average citizens into dialogue with their counterparts in supposed "Rival" nations. I think the veil of antagonism would quickly fall when each realises the other just wishes to live their lives in peace with dignity and governments would find it harder to justify acts of aggression through fearmongering. The technology is there to support such a movement but I know such transparency would not be welcomed by many regimes worldwide. One thing that interests me most from the responses I've seen in your videos is how Russian people view western values to be "Unacceptable". It seems to me that most of this concerns western tolerance to alternative lifestyles (Which if they have been paying attention they would know are still quite divisive in the west - See wokism and culture wars). But the key western values that I would like to hear them rebuke are the right to assembly and the right to free speech. Could you ask them for their thoughts on these western values? Regardless of your views on any topic, how can you take pride in a nation that is afraid of dissenting voices? That won't tolerate disagreement and threatens it's own people with detainment or worse should they speak against their government? True nationalism is not loving one's nation blindly. It is critiquing your nation continuously. Only then can you build a better "motherland" for all of her citizens.
@@WangAiHua I respectfully disagree and would say both are an issue here. I agree the Russian campaign appears to be driven by Putin and his supporters apparent wish to retake Historical lands of the Russian empire - and he alluded to this himself in his 2021 essay on Ukraine. But from these videos, popular support in Russia seems to be sustained on siege mentality nationalism borne out of a patriotic duty to protect the "motherland". Authoritarian regimes always rely on blind nationalism like this convincing their population that they are acting in national interests and any objections are unpatriotic. Whereas in truth, the most patriotic thing any citizen can do is question whether their government is truly acting in the best interest of it's people. This is why the people of Ukraine and even western volunteers are easily motivated to join this conflict. They see this as a war between freedom and oppression, and in defending freedom they protect their countries and their peoples from tyranny. Russia on the other hand requires conscription, mercenaries or threats of imprisonment to field an army. Nationalism is a dangerous thing and often used as a cheap trick by governments to foment hate of "others". All countries need to recognise this.
I definitely have hallucinations. Perhaps those delicious mushrooms from yesterday? The lady at 06:00 - 06:20 says that Russian soldiers do their duty without resorting to violence. They use peaceful means, they don't want to kill. Do you see the same or it's just me?

Za to, żeby jego dzieci nigdy nie poznały i nie zobaczyły tego świata, nie miały pojęcia o cywilizacji oraz nie miały dostępu do normalnej medycyny. Walczy za to, aby mamy i babcie żołnierzy szukały jedzenia na śmietniku obok sklepu. Walczą za wieczną nędzę, za hańbę, za śmierć wszystkich nadziei.

@@CristinaVillegas-lo7jk Let's not forget Hitler built the autobahns. Which German leader has done more for infrastructure, eh?...... Yeah, most people in rural areas live in an alternate reality. There's a reason the saying exists that there are two Russias.
And just at the same time the Russian Army Invaded, go figure...... 'Give my Head Peace' as we say in Ireland 🇮🇪 in response to such depravity and utter stupidity....

When I lived in rural North Carolina, the attitudes of the local citizens and the stoic living conditions sounded and looked just about the same as was depicted here...just less snow 🌄. The United States may in fact be more "free" than Russia, but that doesn't mean that many of our citizens put in the effort to be the best they can be. Our real Worldwide common enemies are ignorance and indifference.
I can assure you that N Carolina bears no resemblance to the mid 29th century. People from N Carolina wouldn’t join the Army to get the opportunity to invade Mexico and the chance to steal a toilet bowl from say, Acapulco.

But at least the North Carolinians didn't have to worry about the KGB / FSB taking them off to the gulag; nor were they lied to on an industrial basis the way these people in Russia think that if any apartment building has been bombed, it was the Ukrainians who did it - when their own government has methodically destroyed thousands of apartment blocks in Ukraine...but only after they first obliterate the children's shelters and maternity hospitals.

Go after America, indeed. 🤯 Still, it seems that the casualties are starting to make an impact of the minds of some of the older people, who seem to be all that’s left in this place. The men (who may have served in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Syria etc) seem to have a slightly more grounded view than some of the women. The last guy’s anxiety to self-censor is very telling.
It was one of the very few videos where there were OLD rural people openly critizing the war and being very pessimistic about the outcome. Even a man! I can only remember some brave бабушка in another rural video being that critical
Seriously love this channel. You guys are doing a great job of bringing us the raw truth about how common Russian people think and feel. I sincerely hope that you stay safe while you continue to bring us these invaluable insights 😀
But many of these who you see here, they already know they are lied to constantly. In some of them, their vehemence and brusqueness is a signal that they are reciting their lines obediently, they are demonstrative of their obedience. In fact something that continues from Soviet times is that people are “tested” in a sense, handed utterly ridiculous propaganda. Think about that moment when Sergei Lavrov said (at the G20 in Delhi) with a straight face that Ukraine started the war. The audience laughed in surprise, scandalized at the sheer effrontery of his ridiculous statement. But it was made to be shown in Russia, where the response will be edited out. Every Russian who watched on TV on February 26 2022 reports that Russia had now almost reached Kyiv in its lightning-strike “special operation” (or who remember how Russian troops were sent into Crimea) will have understood this is their new line of opinion: Ukraine attacked us. And they will recite it. Some dutifully, and the more timid ones - vehemently, with more conviction the more frightened they are to wrongthink. Go back and read 1984. It may seem trite to say so, but Orwell completely understood this mentality.
Short version. The timid and insecure get their sense of security from knowing they are reciting the “correct” view. The more convincing, the more irreproachable, the more deeply reassuring.
wow the lady at ~ 06:00.... I wonder how she would react if she found out that big cities like Mariupol are bombed to dust (including the theatre in Mariupol with 600 dead children and women) and that 350 civilians were executed in Butcha (and many other example).
She wouldn't change her mind, because she is convinced that Ukraines destroyed Mariupol and slaughtered their own people themselves only in order to make anti-russian propaganda.
Oh my god! Seriously? Do you expect me to keep a tank and air-defences under my bed just in case to give to Ukraine!? Like, what I'm gonna do - catch artillery shells and bullets with my bare hands to protect civilians or what?

Oh man, this makes me so sad to see so many stupid people, but thank you for your courageous work. I've lived in Russia and spoken to many Russians so it's not a surprise for me. Your audience will note the difference between the comments of younger people and these older morons. Well done but there's nothing happy here.
I’m sure that it is only Russian Octogenarians in the Russian military running around Ukraine, torturing civilians, raping women and kidnapping the children. Damn these old folks are the cause of it.
''Stupidity'' is part of human nature, sadly. We have 1 foot in intelligence. The other foot in our instincts and emotions...like all other animals. Dangerous mix.
"I saw on tv yesterday that (Ukraine) bombed a new apartment building .... Ukraine bombed civilians .... our Russian soldiers never do that .... they never attack civilians .... they aim to achieve peace through peaceful means .... our Russian soldiers don't want to kill people." The affect of total propaganda and even beyond that , logical reasoning that Russia could invade a country , wage a war of terror against civilians for over a year , is both chilling and unbelievable.
In many of your videos, I admire how there are always people who invite you into their homes or yards as if you are a good friend. Often, those with the least have the most to give.
I feel like its almost pointless talking to those people. Theyre so deep in their fantasy world, no amount of reasoning can bring them back into reality. Even if they found out whats actually happening, theyre too invested in their made up story to let go
The truth is the Russian people need to be forced to see the atrocities that their country is doing just like the allies did In Germany after the war Germans were Taken and forced to see the concentration camps near their towns and What really happened Then they could no longer be ostriches and stick their head in the sand they were forced To face that evil they had become. Russians need to see it in person. places like Butcha. hear the children that had been raped and tortured If that doesn't change them then there's no hope for the Russian people Until they die off And the good ones that are left rebuild
The vast bulk of the Russian population have only known two things in almost a 1000 years. Slavery and then serfdom ( Under the Tsar, The CP and the current kleptocracy.)
I watch these interviews with a heavy heart. Sadly they leave me with no hope that attitudes will change. There is just too many years of indoctrination embedded in many generations of Russians.
Indoctrination is just an EXCUSE!---Both for RuZZians as well as others to explain RuZZia's barbarism! Ukrainians protested on the Maidan and DEMANDED change----Georgians recently are doing the same! RuZZians seem to ALLOW Putlers to exist (although there is a minority who do oppose) , but not only exist, but support and want to drag others down to their level or destroy them! Sorry for those few RuZZians who are normal--but RuZZians ARE guilty!--Instead of FIGHTING against their government for their OWN freedom--they WILLINGLY go to DIE in neighbouring countries TO KILL, TORTURE, MURDER, RAPE, and GENOCIDE!--You can make up all sorts of EXCUSES for them but this is TRUE---------RuZZians are willing to die to KILL, but UNWILLING to die to PREVENT killing!

I hope that in Russia, in the government of the Russian state, too, eventually normal, sane people, real Russians will come (We are talking about the Russians/Slavic people and not about other peoples that live in the Russian Federation), because Russia, historically, culturally, in the form of the East Slavic ethnic origin of the Russians (and not in the person of the same supporters of Putin, the current rulers of the Russian state), in the form of Russian cultures, Russian culture, is also part of Europe. Russians, like Ukrainians, are the East Slavic people of Europe by ethnic origin.
And of course, also, I wish Ukraine, the Ukrainian people all the best and peace...
I myself am from my mother's side of Slavic-Ukrainian-Russian origin...

„Russian soldiers never attack civilians”
here in Poland, our grandparents and grandmothers have a different opinion…
Every day I go to a local bakery here in south-east Poland, I walk past by a small old cemetery. There is a part of it dedicated to people who were murdered by the russian red army. It's a pretty sizeable part for "never attacking civilians".
also in latvia
Im estonian and never forget what russians did
not only in Poland my friend, sadly it's the story I've been hearing as well from my grandparents
And in most parts of the world, it's your allies The US, The UK, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands who murdered and oppressed millions but I guess as long as they didn't attack Poland, you're fine with them. This is one of the reason I'm not anti-Russia and do not care what they do because in wars, there's no good guys and bad guys, there's only sides. Russia ain't the bad guy, they are just not on your side due to some history your country shares with them. You have no issue align yourself with bad guys who did 100 times worse than Russia because those bad guys didn't hurt your country. In this conflict, I'm team Russia, not because I agree with their actions but because the "good guys" have hurt my country and Russia never did. Same thing most of you anti-Russia are doing.
''Our Russian soldiers would never do that, attack civilians, they aim to achieve peace through peaceful means.''

Dear foreign friends! I have already communicated in the comments, and I consider it important to write separately, as a person living in Russia, what is happening here. I was engaged in the analysis of the situation, daily views of various sources, lecturers, polls and studies on the topic of the war, and therefore I consider my experience quite unbiased (although it is not easy even for me to write scientifically and without emotions from what is happening here in 1984).
So, the majority of Russians living in Russia really say that Putin is doing well and doing everything right (about 90% of the population). But this cannot be interpreted one-sidedly.
Firstly, most people do it out of inertia and unwillingness/impossibility to study politics, which is normal, because it is unusual for people to be interested in politics if it does not concern them.
Most Russians believe that politics does not concern them, because incomes, as a rule, do not fall (sanctions really do not work for ordinary people, since most of the population does not travel abroad, does not use foreign services, does not study science and does not read foreign sources).
Almost the entire country, however, believes that there really are no independent courts in Russia, that everything around is bought. Therefore, Russians rarely go to court, do not fight for any rights (even for their own), are afraid of conflicts over poor public transport, unreasonably high rents, and so on. But at the same time, they believe that officials and the city administration are to blame. But not Putin! This is truly terrible.
Most Russians say that war is bad, but they say that we had no choice, and the US and Ukrainians hate us. In general, this is already pleasing, if only because people do not approve of murders as such.
There is a huge generational gap in Putin's approval.
The generation of 20-30 years old as a whole will say that Putin is well done, but they will not particularly answer further questions, since they admit that they do not understand the topic.
But in the 40+ generation, something terrible begins. They perceive Putin as a religious figure, on the level of their parents, believing that he is never wrong. They are desperately trying to justify his actions with the most stupid arguments.
This is due to the Stockholm syndrome experienced in the nineties. They believe that democracy does not work, and the United States and the West allegedly did not help us and wanted us to be poor. Almost all films in Russia showed the nineties as a time of poverty and devastation. They are afraid of freedom, because it was at the beginning of the 2000s that huge economic growth began under Putin due to the increase in oil sales (obviously, Putin did not contribute to this, but they believe that it was him). It can be seen that these people have a neurosis, and they really believe that everyone wants to kill them, because the president said so.
The scariest thing is that most of the people 40+ really think that beating their people to death with batons is the right thing to do. What to plant and poison the opposition - that's right. That directing a nuclear bomb at the United States is right. And the older the generation, the crazier their speeches become, and the level of aggression reaches the desire to kill the whole world.
But! Not everyone is like that, but only a large part of the population. And this majority really does not want any rights either for themselves or for others. Therefore, it is worth understanding that even the Russians themselves suffer from them, and not just the Ukrainians. And that, therefore, you should not generalize to all Russians, because, generalizing, you do exactly the same thing, considering all people to be bad because of the majority (moreover, the middle-aged majority, which probably won’t even go to your countries).
Secondly, there are many people who understand that Putin is insane. But it is these people who have critical thinking, they read the opposition media. And, as a rule, it is they who can find a good job, know foreign languages and emigrate. Therefore, it is impossible to calculate the exact number of Russians who are against the war. There is not even open data and an unambiguous opportunity to interpret the number of people who left.
Russians are generally not inclined to be interested in politics. Political videos on TH-cam get very little views, and it's obvious that people really think they can't change anything. Russians don't like to read the opposition media, because they show all the bad things that are happening here. Their mood deteriorates, and they prefer to sit in the echo chamber, which says that everything is not so bad in Russia, that the West has its own propaganda, and we have our own. That not everything is so simple, and Ukraine also dressed up.
All oppositionists are convinced that democracy will be brought on a silver platter. That the regime will weaken, the elites will want democracy, and this is where we will act (and they themselves do not know how they will act). Russians cannot unite in almost anything because of the totalitarian past and the authoritarian present. The opposition itself quarrels among themselves, and it is not clear how it can even come to power.
So overall it's really bad. But if you consider all Russians as fascists, it will be even worse. Autocracy and the Soviet Union turns people into beasts, not vice versa.
Therefore, fight for democracy in your countries, fight against right-wing populists who want to make the country great. What makes a country great is cooperation with others and respect for all people. Perhaps my generation (I'm 24) will also come to this if Putin's regime is replaced by something softer. But there is little hope for this, and hope is the only thing we have left among the zombie older generation who want to send us to the Middle Ages.
It feels to me like a lot of the war supporters in Russia outwardly think "Russia is great, so we should subjugate all these people so that they can live under the same great regime", but inwardly truly feel "everything is terrible, why should they get a shot at a good life when we can't? We should subjugate these people because if everyone is in a terrible situation, at least I won't be alone in it."
Thanks for taking the time to explain this. It makes a lot of sense, but also very depressing

Democracy isn't about free speech; that's a Republic.
Democracy is power to the people.
A Republic is rights to the people.
Believe it or not, there have been totalitarian democracies, like ancient Greece.
@@Ranstone well I live in Sweden and here we have free speech and that "power to the people" you talk about. We also have rights, or "rights to the people" as you say.
If you take one of those away, it's not a democratic country, believe it or not.
Saying Russia is a democracy, is just denial from russians who don't want to acknowledge the fact that they live in a dictatorship. Either that, or they are just afraid of the consequences of being caught saying something negative about their government.
Also a country can't be a dictatorship and a democracy at once. It's like saying a fruit is a banana and an apple.
@@Ranstone The contempory meaning of democracy in my view needs to include that periodically the voters get deciding who will rule and who will have the right to pass legislation. For that to happen in a meaningful way all adults have to be in a position to cast their ballots and there has to be free speech. Without free speech the voters will not hear a range of positions and will not be in a position to make informed choices.
(BTW, if there have been totalitarian democracies - apartheid South Africa being a better example than ancient Greece - there have been far more totalitarian republics!!!!!!!!)
What else can they say, Russians I know are a very Patriotic people but are also good people, it is the leaders who are the Bastards in all of this, there are many people who are in Prison like Navalny who have given up their Freedom for the people, but I am afraid that many Western Powers did nothing, after What the Putin did in Salisbury England with Novichok, that should have been the wake up call, but everyone did nothing including our own lame Government in the UK, at that time and still now Many Russian Oligarchs owned vast swathes of London property and sent their Children to British Schools not only English but Welsh and Scottish to, Atlantic College in Glamorgan South Wales certainly had Politburo and Oligarch Children Educated there in the past.

The Russians were formed from East Slavic tribes, and their cultural ancestry is based in Kievan Rus'. Genetically, the majority of Russians are identical to their East and West Slavic counterparts; unlike northern Russians, who belong to the Northern European Baltic gene pool.
Gotta love the guy who said that Russia is the most democratic country in the world...and then told Daniil to let him help edit his interview for fear of getting in trouble for what he might have said. Hah!

Question: Are other countries responsible for all of Russia’s problems? People say Russians will always blame others and never take responsibility for causing our own problems.
That‘s right.
That most dictatorship, police states are doing.
Always! Therefore they want to nuke them!
Of course other countries are responsible for all Russia problems. If other countries would not be so dangerously free and provocatively developed then Russia would not look like undeveloped shythole country that it is! Therefore it is Russian tradition to invade every few years one of its neighbors to bring them to "Ruski Mir" level of existence so that Russian dont feel alone in their misery.
Russia caused the Nazi invasion of itself? Russia caused the invasion after WW1 and the sanctions after Lenin was elected?
Interesting that the last old man is worried about what he said earlier and hoped that he stuck to the script his leader expects him to say
That was the saddest part to me.
Especially after saying that Russia was the most democratic nation in the world!
Yes, even out in the sticks; his anxiety to self censor is diagnostic of the totalitarian state that Russia is. So much for it being “the most democratic country in the world,”
That's how it works in most democratic countries, all clear...

The more I watch the more I realize that it is useless. The people won´t tell you what they think. How do I know? I am Czech. And I know how it was before 1989. If a reporter asked you something on the streets you would just autamatically go with the government line. And you would say something completely different behind closed doors. Like the last guy. And I understand why Daniil doesn´t want to compromise him. We have absoulutely no clue how many questioned people say what they trully think. The level of oppression in Russia is reaching those in former Soviet Union once again.That beying said I still am amaized by the cruelty of Russians. They have it in them. Already in 1844 a Czech writer K.H. Borovsky wrote this: "I went to Russia as a Slav and came back as a Czech. It's a country of misery, squalor, booze and extensive literary works about misery, squalor and booze. I can testify that the Russians think of other Slavs not in a brotherly way, but in a dishonest and selfish way. I prefer the Hungarians, who fight us openly, to the Russians, who approach us with a Judas kiss and then put us in their pocket. These gentlemen begin to say and write Slavic instead of Russian, so that they may say Russian instead of Slavic.
Your population was always generally better educated than Russia's as well.
Back in 1987 I was traveling a bit off piste in CZ. I needed to extend my visa. An ordinary procedure, involving exchanging a some Western currency per day for a stamp.
This was in a small garrison town, and I had to find a police station with «foreign police» service. Not easy.
The hotel manager told me to drive to a part of town out in the suburbs. There I saw uniforms all over the place and various, unidentified, but very official gates.
Stopped a guy in airforce uniform, a lieutenant. He spoke some English. Told him what I needed to do, he was not sure and started pointing at different uniforms.
- That is the traffic police, hm. No. That is the military police, hm. No. That is the criminal police. Hm. No.
I pointed at a guy in a different uniform, a formal outfit with tie:
- What about him? I asked.
The lieutenant looked at me, with a wry smile, and mustered his best English:
- No, he’s one of those fucking Russians! (direct quote)
We both laughed, and he finally found the correct police station sign. They could help me.

Steve Rosenberg, BBC's Russia Editor in Moscow does a weekly review of the Russian Press . He usually posts it on Twitter #ReadingRussia, or look for him on the BBC News website.
There is a huge educational task ahead of telling the Russians how extremely distorting the Kremlin's propaganda has been. And a year-long process of self-examination afterwards.
Nahhhh, let them live like that for 50 years like eastern EU countries did under them. Let them suffer!
It will take at least a generation.
@@yidiandianpang: Yes. Immediately after WW2, many Germans thought that the only thing the Nazis had done wrong was lose the war. It took a generation to change their minds.
That's one of the most profound issues facing Russia and the RoW after this war… and Fred is right, it will take a least a generation. Germany managed that kind of self-examination, but only after total military defeat. Japan has done it half-heartedly. Not much to build on, i'm afraid. It's going to be one heck of a task.
This is not our job we have no buisness and we would be seen as propagandists if we tried. This has to happen inside russia itself we just need to supply the information. We dont want to hurt russia we have never wanted to hurt russia we just want it to be less of a wildcard. Right now russia is like the lion roaming the neighbours yard it seems tame but we All know it will strike.
It baffles me how some Russians so nonchalantly talking about the annihilation of other countries and its people just because their policies doesnt align or kowtowing to Russia. The clear lack of empathy in these people is very concerning.
Why not?
Please tell me you aren't from the US...
I wish the interviews were longer and more in depth tho. So many of these people have had their boys taken away to war where they most likely died or are about to die anyway. The amount of trauma these families have been carrying for centuries, it doesn't surprise me these people are nonchalant about it. This is their reality. It's easy to dehumanize people during wars but don't forget they are real people too.
He provoked them into saying that by asking leading questions continuously until they agreed with him. Most people in Russia don't think the Ukraine war is about "bringing Russia" to Ukraine, he just kept repeating that line trying to provoke patriotic sentiment in people so that they would eventually say something he was looking for. He was even suggesting countries in order to get lines from people like "Poland? Yeah sure. Let's blast them". He's just trying to coax people into saying certain things so he can portray Russians as the jingoistic neanderthals that he thinks they are. Biased channel with a political agenda.
It's so nice that Russian Federation has peacefull military, it's the first of such to exist. Usually I'd imagine soldiers carrying rifle, and being trained to kill with no remorse, such a fantastic country Russian Federation is, to make peacefull military.

He to told that under no means they were allowed to shoot even if they were spitted at and we're aggressively threatened. Only at real shootings they were allowed to fight back; he said that it was not easy for him and his comrades.

The casual bloodthirstiness of the older generation is really sad and alarming. Of course not all people are like that, but I am not used to hearing that at ALL, ever, from anyone, so it's really disturbing to hear a sweet little grandma come out with that sort of thing. The closest thing I can think of is once when I was in Germany, supervising a bunch of teenagers on a trip. We were visiting a religious building and a teen girl wanted to ask for prayers for someone she knew. One of the workers in the building, an older lady, immediately started scolding her harshly for being in a part of the building she didn't think teenagers should be in. One of the other leaders of our group (a German in his 20s or maybe 30) made sure the teenager was all right after that exchange, and then came to me (a foreigner) to talk about it. "This grandma was raised in a generation without love," he told me by way of explanation. I think of that when I see these elderly people talk so casually about murdering people in other countries. Perhaps they were raised in a generation without love. And so their relationship with authority is unhealthy, they are unable to understand why all of this is wrong, and they don't understand how things could change. They are thinking on survival level only. And to those who do not want to harm others and who are against war, all too often, they are blinded by the media telling them that they are the ones being attacked, not the other way around. (I always want to ask these people, what part of Russia did Ukraine invade? In which oblast of Russia is there a battle going on with NATO? The answer is none, of course...)
The good thing about Germany is that the younger generation DID change. I wish Russia luck (and I wish for them a lot of smart 24 year olds with brains and perseverance to change things).

That is exactly what RuZZia is about,-- hatred to all of its neighbours, and hatred to the US, and "love" for their Putler Khan!
Ukrainians protested on the Maidan and DEMANDED change----Georgians recently are doing the same! RuZZians seem to ALLOW Putlers to exist (although there is a minority who do oppose) , but not only exist, but support and want to drag others down to their level or destroy them!
Sorry for those few RuZZians who are normal--but RuZZians ARE guilty!--Instead of FIGHTING against their government for their OWN freedom--they WILLINGLY go to DIE in neighbouring countries TO KILL, TORTURE, MURDER, RAPE, and GENOCIDE!--You can make up all sorts of EXCUSES for them but this is TRUE---------RuZZians are willing to die to KILL, but UNWILLING to die to PREVENT killing!
Lots of people around the world grow up without love in dire situations and aren't murderous assholes. Trying to tolerate and excuse such people is why fascism is on the rise.
you have a good understanding of the situation. I have been thinking about this for many years, but you probably explained it better than me! if you read what repressions and sufferings were in the USSR, you will understand these people, for the most part they were serfs all their lives and the first freedom was in 1992, it did not last long and in 2008 it became clear to many that the Chekists would not give up power. People are atomized and unhappy, the USSR is the most terrible experiment on the territory of the whole of Europe! from 1918 to 1953, more than 40 million people died, in repressions and resettlements alone, Stalin killed more than 14 million people, but in fact, there is no exact data, perhaps these figures should be multiplied by 2 !! The Holodomor in Russia and in Kazakhstan and Ukraine is a separate calculation. most are slaves and their living conditions are terrible, aesthetically and physically. nihilism and lack of thinking due to lowness and atmosphere. Moscow has been destroying Russia for several centuries now.... For Russia, the decuentralization and autonomy of the regions is obligatory....otherwise it will be an endless circle of darkness and violence. The country needs to be divided, but the West of Europe does not want this, it could be done, but the EU countries strengthened and contributed to the worst 'gopnik' from Europe ..

@1420channel
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Firstly thank you for your courage in making and posting these videos which provide us all with an honest account of the average Russian person's thoughts on current affairs. I often think the fastest route to world peace would be to force average citizens into dialogue with their counterparts in supposed "Rival" nations. I think the veil of antagonism would quickly fall when each realises the other just wishes to live their lives in peace with dignity and governments would find it harder to justify acts of aggression through fearmongering. The technology is there to support such a movement but I know such transparency would not be welcomed by many regimes worldwide.
One thing that interests me most from the responses I've seen in your videos is how Russian people view western values to be "Unacceptable". It seems to me that most of this concerns western tolerance to alternative lifestyles (Which if they have been paying attention they would know are still quite divisive in the west - See wokism and culture wars). But the key western values that I would like to hear them rebuke are the right to assembly and the right to free speech. Could you ask them for their thoughts on these western values? Regardless of your views on any topic, how can you take pride in a nation that is afraid of dissenting voices? That won't tolerate disagreement and threatens it's own people with detainment or worse should they speak against their government?
True nationalism is not loving one's nation blindly. It is critiquing your nation continuously. Only then can you build a better "motherland" for all of her citizens.

Nationalism is not the problem---that is a misnomer ---IMPERIALISM is the problem!
Nationalism always ends in fashism and if it takes one or two generations. It's simply how it is and it's never healthy.
@@WangAiHua I respectfully disagree and would say both are an issue here.
I agree the Russian campaign appears to be driven by Putin and his supporters apparent wish to retake Historical lands of the Russian empire - and he alluded to this himself in his 2021 essay on Ukraine.
But from these videos, popular support in Russia seems to be sustained on siege mentality nationalism borne out of a patriotic duty to protect the "motherland". Authoritarian regimes always rely on blind nationalism like this convincing their population that they are acting in national interests and any objections are unpatriotic. Whereas in truth, the most patriotic thing any citizen can do is question whether their government is truly acting in the best interest of it's people. This is why the people of Ukraine and even western volunteers are easily motivated to join this conflict. They see this as a war between freedom and oppression, and in defending freedom they protect their countries and their peoples from tyranny. Russia on the other hand requires conscription, mercenaries or threats of imprisonment to field an army.
Nationalism is a dangerous thing and often used as a cheap trick by governments to foment hate of "others". All countries need to recognise this.
I definitely have hallucinations. Perhaps those delicious mushrooms from yesterday? The lady at 06:00 - 06:20 says that Russian soldiers do their duty without resorting to violence. They use peaceful means, they don't want to kill. Do you see the same or it's just me?

Think about that moment when Sergei Lavrov said (at the G20 in Delhi) with a straight face that Ukraine started the war. The audience laughed in surprise, scandalized at the sheer effrontery of his ridiculous statement. But it was made to be shown in Russia, where the response will be edited out.
Every Russian who watched on TV on February 26 2022 reports that Russia had now almost reached Kyiv in its lightning-strike “special operation” (or who remember how Russian troops were sent into Crimea) will have understood this is their new line of opinion: Ukraine attacked us. And they will recite it. Some dutifully, and the more timid ones - vehemently, with more conviction the more frightened they are to wrongthink.
Go back and read 1984. It may seem trite to say so, but Orwell completely understood this mentality.
Short version. The timid and insecure get their sense of security from knowing they are reciting the “correct” view.
The more convincing, the more irreproachable, the more deeply reassuring.
@@eh1702 There is no absolute "correct" view anyway
@@silverblood6328 In Russia there assuredly is.
It is literally a criminal offense now, to give another view.
Just what i expected. Greets from Finland ;)
wow the lady at ~ 06:00.... I wonder how she would react if she found out that big cities like Mariupol are bombed to dust (including the theatre in Mariupol with 600 dead children and women) and that 350 civilians were executed in Butcha (and many other example).
She wouldn't change her mind, because she is convinced that Ukraines destroyed Mariupol and slaughtered their own people themselves only in order to make anti-russian propaganda.
She knows. She is convinced it’s Ukrainian Nazis who did this.
She wouldn't believe him. She would say it was fake news just like rural people over 50 who vote republican in America do.
She will respond that Ukranians did it to themselves and staged the videos with paid actors.
I am sure she knows!
Daniil, ask people two questions: Do they speak truth on Russian TV? and Did they speak truth on Soviet Union TV?
Soviet union has collapsed more than 30 years ago. Do you think anyone remember shit?
@@Born2kill102 Yes, a lot of people do, because they were almost adults when it collapsed.
There no such thing as "truth" and "reality" in Russian culture.
@@LMB222How's your ghost of kyiv education going?
@@natureblank1401 Ask the crews of the Moskva, they’ll know.
"простой руский народ абсолютно адекватный"
Im crying
@6:00 a good followup question would've been "If our soldiers attacked civilians, would it be shown on TV?"
If the Russian people seen it they would just say it was propaganda and it was fake it wasn't real
Oh my god! Seriously? Do you expect me to keep a tank and air-defences under my bed just in case to give to Ukraine!? Like, what I'm gonna do - catch artillery shells and bullets with my bare hands to protect civilians or what?
@@СергейМонин-д7с I was expecting that elderly russian woman to examine her media literacy skills (I know it's a tall order).
Your response confuses me a bit tbh.
"They never attack civilians".
That's naive thinking. Every army does that even if it's 1 civilian
That babushka spoke the truth.. Long live the babushka..
@@tescobakery1927 The Russian army have an absolutely horrible track record for rape, torture and murder of civilians.
@@mattyboy59 If they consider there are not civilians in Ukraine.
Сколько США убило мирных людей в Ираке или в Югославии или в Хиросиме и Нагасаки или это другое?
Thanks.👍👍
Wow that last one was great. Most normal, functioning person showing casual support for Putin and every choice government is making, then wants to check the footage to make sure he didnt say anything too bad about the state.
This might well be one of the most important youtube channels about this "Special Supercalifragilistic Military Operation". There are many many good ones, but this one is absolutely essential!
Insightful as always. Keep it up.
As a Turkish i was thinking that Erdoğan is pro Putin.😄
no no they are just both assholes... its like a bro code
He's got splinters in his ass.
Or he is just a 2 faced Sultan,backstabber.
I just cannot imagine what would happen if Russia was stupid enough to try and take Turkey on. 😂😂😂😂
@@caterine837 They might lose all convicted criminals.
"Let the youth answer these questions", wonderful answer from the older generation.
"Our soldiers never do that." Boy, is this woman going to have a shocker.
Putin: My dear comrades, everything will be ok! We have Steven Seagal on our side. He will teach us how to eat carrots and grow belly fat
Rural Russians: "Let's make everything worse."
That shovel clearing the flooded entrance immediately after the dude said Putin built a sewage system. 😂
Промыли мозги очень многим людям, но радует, что адекватных становится больше
Это США промыла мозги многим. Слава России 🇷🇺🇷🇺Z
Сколько адекватных, никто не знает.
Именно поэтому все второстепенные каналы «адекватов» потеряли просмотры, а основные каналы (дуд, начальный лайв, Кац) наполнились однотипными комментариями ?
то ли адекватных больше, то ли неадекватных... меньше :)
Oh man, this makes me so sad to see so many stupid people, but thank you for your courageous work. I've lived in Russia and spoken to many Russians so it's not a surprise for me. Your audience will note the difference between the comments of younger people and these older morons. Well done but there's nothing happy here.
I’m sure that it is only Russian Octogenarians in the Russian military running around Ukraine, torturing civilians, raping women and kidnapping the children.
Damn these old folks are the cause of it.
''Stupidity'' is part of human nature, sadly. We have 1 foot in intelligence. The other foot in our instincts and emotions...like all other animals. Dangerous mix.
"I saw on tv yesterday that (Ukraine) bombed a new apartment building .... Ukraine bombed civilians ....
our Russian soldiers never do that .... they never attack civilians .... they aim to achieve peace through peaceful means ....
our Russian soldiers don't want to kill people." The affect of total propaganda and even beyond that , logical
reasoning that Russia could invade a country , wage a war of terror against civilians for over a year , is both chilling and unbelievable.
In many of your videos, I admire how there are always people who invite you into their homes or yards as if you are a good friend. Often, those with the least have the most to give.
Haha! They don't want to be seen
Tacy sa Rosjanie. W gruncie rzeczy dobrzy ludzie. Tylko ich wlasny kraj robi im tak wielka krzywde.
Hmmm their heads are sick tho.
Most ruzzians are mentally sick!
You should end every interview with the question: " Do you watch TV everyday ? "
Daniil, great work.
I feel like its almost pointless talking to those people. Theyre so deep in their fantasy world, no amount of reasoning can bring them back into reality. Even if they found out whats actually happening, theyre too invested in their made up story to let go
The truth is the Russian people need to be forced to see the atrocities that their country is doing just like the allies did In Germany after the war Germans were Taken and forced to see the concentration camps near their towns and What really happened Then they could no longer be ostriches and stick their head in the sand they were forced To face that evil they had become. Russians need to see it in person. places like Butcha. hear the children that had been raped and tortured If that doesn't change them then there's no hope for the Russian people Until they die off And the good ones that are left rebuild
The vast bulk of the Russian population have only known two things in almost a 1000 years.
Slavery and then serfdom ( Under the Tsar, The CP and the current kleptocracy.)
What has Putin done for us.........ermm, ermmm ... the roads are a little bit better )
The aqueducts?
Sanitation 😊
THANK YOU THANK YOU FROM ONTARIO CANADA! KEEP ON AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!
I watch these interviews with a heavy heart. Sadly they leave me with no hope that attitudes will change. There is just too many years of indoctrination embedded in many generations of Russians.
switch off TV propaganda in a 3 months it will change. Happened during Football world cupt in 2018(19?)
Indeed you nazi nato isis talmud therorists Will change your satanists theefs heart on the ruins of your CApitols..... From serbian
U always have no hope. U shouldn't have for dropping bombs😏
Indoctrination is just an EXCUSE!---Both for RuZZians as well as others to explain RuZZia's barbarism!
Ukrainians protested on the Maidan and DEMANDED change----Georgians recently are doing the same! RuZZians seem to ALLOW Putlers to exist (although there is a minority who do oppose) , but not only exist, but support and want to drag others down to their level or destroy them!
Sorry for those few RuZZians who are normal--but RuZZians ARE guilty!--Instead of FIGHTING against their government for their OWN freedom--they WILLINGLY go to DIE in neighbouring countries TO KILL, TORTURE, MURDER, RAPE, and GENOCIDE!--You can make up all sorts of EXCUSES for them but this is TRUE---------RuZZians are willing to die to KILL, but UNWILLING to die to PREVENT killing!
What kind of answers are you looking for? I just don't know what you expect 🤔
