    You all are so funny. So happy for you. My grandfather escaped Russia through the iron curtain with help from the underground railroad. His wife and baby had to swim a river in route to escape as Russia had closed the borders. He made a good life for his family. Be free and happy.

    So glad you guys got out - as a mother of 2 sons 18 & 26 (from New Zealand) I am so sad for what you Russian boys are having to go through and after what we have seen since Feb, 100% back your choice to get out so you don't have to kill anyone or be killed in a pointless, illegal, horrific war. I hope you stay safe and find a safe haven until its safe to go home.

      The fact that he was able to avoid the mobilization of Army reserves (he went AWOL) and return to RU months later proves their country is more free than the US. Tens of Thousands of Americans were jailed for avoiding the Korean and Vietnam war drafts and tens of thousands more were jailed for protesting the wars because of the tyrannical "Espionage and Sedition Act" which bans speech that criticizes US military actions. This is why Julian Assange (not even an American citizen) was almost illegally jailed by the US government before escaping to the Ecuador embassy. Until Ecuador decided to hand him over to the English government.

    So glad you were able to sell it! And so sorry that your life has been uprooted. It just takes one evil man to ruin the lives of many. We respect you and pray that you are safe. You will be. Keep your spirits up. The world is on your side buddy!!!

    Amazing video! You documented the journey so many Russians have had to make via that route to avoid mobilization. I haven't seen any similar of that historic drive escape route. Definitely the good care you take of the car proved invaluable to making sure you made it without car problems. It's appalling that so many have had to leave home, jobs, family, friends, country because of Putin... ...Ukrainians and Russians fleeing their countries from what Putin is doing ..and it's madness. Well done on that epic drive. The last time I watched people drive through Georgia to Turkey was such a different trip - English couple Marian and Chris of Tread the Globe TH-cam channel. .. how world affairs have changed since then.. I hope your girlfriend and the cats will get safely out ... and that this war all ends soon.

    Glad you're safe. That GM motor in the Cadillac and Chevy Suburban's is amazing. I have one that has 308,000 miles on it and newer one that has 155,000 miles on it. They run awesome - not sure the kilometers conversion but you do the math, and you'll see awesome. stay safe- this is a bad thing going on- probably for the rest of our lives, especially for that part of the world. This is life changing for you folks. Also- challenges for the world. Brace for long term impact.

      496,000 Km.... 249,000 Km ... conversion is 1.609km per mile, simplified to 8-5 ratio. 55mph = 88kmph, for example.

    Thank god you are out !! Thank god!!! And I’m so pleased you went with friends on your own I wouldn’t trust the border guards. I’m anxious just seeing you sitting at the border on the Georgia side - knowing what we know now it must have seemed crazy at the time but you so did the right thing. PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON all of you !!!!!

    I still have family in Russia and Ukraine. My dad's side of the family escaped and came to America after WW2 was over. Luckily I was born here. I joined u.s. army when I turned 18 and served 4 years 11 bravo, came back and went into law enforcement until I got covid and then started having health issues. Glad you guys seen through the propaganda and got out. Be safe and take care brother.

      U guys ought not pay a 1 Minute of silence for Putin victims. U 3 ought pay 24 hours of not Eating Or drinking even water! Before U act like U care of Dead destroyed families! But I Bet U cannot do it!
      I bet the 3-4 of U could have stayed & Burnt many Local Russian Gov't Bldgs Instead of acting like Wussy Heroes - when crying Toddlers were Traumatized by Horrific Bombings before dying!

    Ivan, I have been following your journey, looks like you're having some fun in Thailand, I am happy for you Ivan, hope you buy a good car in Thailand if you keep making the videos you're going to be a TH-cam star, like I have said to you before don't drive a motorcycle in Thailand it's too dangerous, I have seen so many people in an accident.
    Good luck Ivan and keep making the videos.
