I hope this video will be useful for those who plan to visit Russia at this time, for people who (like me) struggled with transferring money to or from Russia, and for those who wondered what life is like in the most sanctioned country in the world. 📍 More videos: th-cam.com/video/ILsj2LDl10U/w-d-xo.html - Life in Russia after sanctions - ULTIMATE journey through the east to the west th-cam.com/video/Rec-kWEZC_A/w-d-xo.html - How Russians Really Live : GREY SOVIET BUILDINGS EXPLAINED!
Excerpt : "While the United States and its closest allies in Europe and Asia have imposed tough economic sanctions on Moscow, 87 percent of the world's population has declined to follow us. "
*America is able to place illegal, unethical, and biased sanctions on any country that refuses to take America's order or any country that tries to punish America's illegitimate child Israel and America's violent NATO allies, and America places those sanctions by applying the power of its currency called U.S.Dollar, but American dollar is not even the property of America but it's a property of Zionist Jewish Rothschild family of The U.K and Germany. Many American companies like Google, Instagram, TH-cam, Meta, Facebook, etc, are owned by Zionist Jews who have Russian, Ukrainian, German, British, and Polish backgrounds. Russian language is the second biggest language of Israel. Many Russian Jews who are not semetic have dual nationalities of Israel and Russia and Kremlin illegally and unethically allows them to leave Russia, to move to Israel, to keep dual nationalities of Russia and Israel, and to commit violent and non-violent crimes against Muslim individuals, against Muslim countries, against Palestinians, against Arab countries, against Arab Christians, and against the rest of the World, and recently Israeli Jews used Tajik militants to shoot down over 160 Russians during a concert at Moscow Theater. If Russia, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South American countries etc, want to avoid American sanctions then they will have to put their minds and hearts together to demolish American Dollar (USD), to create their own U.N, NATO, FATF, World Bank, IMF, Nobel Prize, UNESCO, I.C.C, and I.CJ plus they will have to close their air space, oceans, highways, and railway tracks for America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, European Union, NATO member countries, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Turkey, India, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Japan, South Korea, and Philippines.*
This shows that Washington is not connected to reality, there they think it is a big success. The independence from the west is much better it is going down hard.
@@RusGirlVlog No, its austrian bank. Tbh I literally bought their stock last year (around 13 eur/share) because they are sane and stayed in Russia. Russia will benefit in long term from many brands leaving and selling its already working branches to locals.
Hello from Iran 🇮🇷 the country that had the highest rate of sanctions before the said date. unfortunately unlike Russia the sanctions and government corruption effects the daily life of normal folks here a lot. prices has doubled up. accessing VPNs is harder than even before. and famous brands and using international banking system were never a thing here. and yes you won't get advertisements if you manage to find a working DNS instead of a VPN. I hope this comment find you well. hope someday all people will be able to live with peace and freedom.
You were alone. But things have a chance for change from now on. Apparently, the global majority is fed up with uni-polar neo-colonialism and sheer hubris of the globalists.

Russia is an amazing country. That’s why so many Americans are moving there. I wish I could move my family there. In the meantime, we are learning Russian. It’s a beautiful language.

I'm a Brit living in the UK and have just returned from 10 days in Russia. Everything Eli says is correct. I flew to Tallinn, Estonia and then took the coach to Saint Petersburg. I booked return coach travel before leaving UK as LuxExpress have a business base in Europe so cards work to pay them. The border at Narva/Ivangorod is pedestrian only so one coach drops you at the Estonian border crossing point and then another coach is on the other side of the river/bridge in Russia waiting to take you onwards. The advantage of this route is flights to Tallinn from UK are cheap and the return coach fare came to about £80. You also see a lot of the countries looking out the coach windows and the coaches were very comfortable with hot drinks, free bottled water and good Wifi. I stayed a couple of nights in SP and then took the train to Moscow which was a fantastic experience especially since on return I booked the Sapsan non stop train and the service in business class was awesome with breakfast part of the ticket. Train tickets were £59 going (economy class) and £95 returning (business class). Apart from wanting to see SP I stayed there for 2 nights to get a breather after the journey but I have known people get the train to Moscow as soon as they arrive on the coach in SP. If you do this it competes very well time wise versus flying to Turkey (from UK) and then taking a flight to Moscow. The flight option is also more expensive. One thing with the Yandex app for taxis you can go into the settings and select that you want to pay cash. I enjoyed every single minute of my time in Russia and the people I came into contact with were lovely and went out of their way to provide assistance when I needed it. Regarding the visa I was able to get an e-visa since I also hold an Irish (EU) passport. I applied on line and I received the e-visa after 3 days. It's valid for 60 days and the maximum stay is 16 days (for one visit) - remember day of arrival and day of departure count as days to the max 16 days. With the ramifications of the sanctions a trip takes some organising but it's well worth the effort. Also I was able to buy Roubles at a good rate from a company based in the UK.
Hello from America! In high school and college I became OBSESSED with Russian history, politics, and literature and I have held on to the hope to someday visit for myself!! Loved the vid
As a Russian, I should say, that our history is full of lies. So don't be so obsessed on it. We have a proverb in here ... Russia is a country with unpredictable past ... 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Hi, I worked 2 years in Lipetsk between 2002-2004 and, I have unforgettable memories about Russia and people. Each time I watch your video I remember my friends and wonderful times with them. Thanks a lot, and I hope one day I able to visit Lipetsk again to find my lovely friends
Grocery prices everywhere are higher than two years ago. Here in the US, my grocery costs have increased by 50%. Feeding a house full of teenage boys is now very expensive.
When governments print paper fiat currency, unfortunately this does happen. It doesn’t really help that we have the best economy in the world if we can’t buy the basic food stuff that we want, right?
I've just recently started looking for videos about Russia. Both my husband and I have had some ancestors who lived in Russia in the 1800s. But we don't hear about Russia nowadays. So, I want to learn more about what life is like in Russia. Most of us in America have lost trust in our mass media. So, it's much better to get news directly from an average person living in Russia. Thanks for your videos! I'm glad that I found you!
Because the liar and war criminal Putin the aggressor is attacking Ukraine. Russia will lose and collapse and this stupid person is talking about restricting her passport.
As Americans we will never find peace. We have been invading countries and killing people who did nothing to us for every day of my 74 years, including the coup we did that created the war against the people of Donbas and backed authentic Nazis. I spend a lot of time in Ukraine and the only president who was popularly elected was the one the US staged the coup against and created to attacked on Russian speakers. It is pretty hard to find any war, assassination or rigged election that the US did not arrange.
Putin wants piece everywhere, pieceof Ukraine , piece of Estonia etc etc, in Putinworld ,one man in Moscow owns half of Europe. He enjoys being a slave owner , he will never give it up.
Basic healthcare. It's atrocious in Canada. Unfortunately. Cost of labor vs quality is also not that good in Canada, especially when we are talking construction etc. Corruption is something that doesn't even exist in Canada compared to Russia. So here are points to Canada. Also people's genuine desire to help you is much more evident and common in Canada. Overall stability - military, economic, political is better in Canada. There are ideological differences - woke culture and laws in Canada vs censorship on anything regarding the people who hold power in Russia. Both are not good at all. But there are similarities too. Both countries struggle with their geographical positions, both have inhabitable areas, small population vs land size, dependency on natural resources, costly infrastructure etc.

Once again, Eli always shows interesting and very useful videos for people all over the world to watch. Yes, you are really great at choosing broadcast topics, Eli!
I just discovered this channel recently and subscribed immediately! It is amazing how broad Eli comes around many aspects of Russian culture and life in Russia in general. Im 30 years old from Denmark and i've spent my mid twenties studying Russian studies at the University of Copenhagen, where i had the chance to go on exchange twice to Ekaterinburg (2018) and Moscow (2019) respectively. I even lived for a short time (3 months) with my Russian ex girlfriend in Kaluga. My experiences in Russia have been so amazing and life changing both in terms of adapting (as well being welcomed) to a new culture and personal development. Russian people might seem a little cold at first, but as soon as you get to know them they can be the warmest, loyal and most affectionate people you will ever meet! The Russians i met were ordinary Russians (like the ones appearing in most of Eli's videos) with average-paid jobs, and despite their lack of privilege, these people would spent their free time borrowing their friends cars (or bicycles) to take me out on the countryside (Derevnya) and show me the beautiful nature of Mother Russia. They would as well spend a whole day showing me every metro station in the bigger cities, or take me to war museums while explaining Russian mentality. It's truly sad how Russia and its people are being displayed as enemies in Western media.. Keep up the fantastic work Eli! with your content you are creating the best diplomatic tool/bridge for Russian-interested foreigners to understand Russian culture and Russians on a deeper level - by also showing how powerful culture is and something that people can relate to on a mass level. Hope to go back one day! Peace.
I have Russian friends here in Europe. Their skills are so outstanding they’ve been brought here. And what you are showing is literally what they are telling me. They even invited me to see Russia by myself to discover people and the culture. Honestly, I am super bitter because all this current context isn’t belonging to us, people and by that I mean citizens of the world… If there were no politics and social engineering we’d certainly see more « humanity » and just human beings bonding.
Please allow me to correct you. Russia spans two continents: one part is in Europe, and the other is considered part of Asia. Therefore, we refer to it as a Eurasian country. By "Europe," I meant the countries of the EU. There's no need to frame it in a way that conveys negative feelings. Even if it makes you feel superior or better with yourself…
@@irisbrejean8019 You're absolutely correct. Personally I also think that calling Russia a European country is wrong to an extent: we're simultaneously European and Asian in our ways, and that's one of the aspects that makes us unique. Russia is Eurasian, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm really glad you've had such a great experience with your friends!
As much as I like your idealism the fact that Russia has illegally invaded and occupied another country doesn't go away. What should Ukraine do in your opinion? Just let them and give them their land? In this case the peaceful world you are dreaming of would just belong to its strongest members. Wherever people live together need to be rules and wherever rules are is politics. We can't do without it, for better or worse.
We love you Eli and Russia from Kabul, Afghanistan. I can understand you since we also live under sanctions and that is affecting the lives of ordinary people who have nothing to do with politics and the authorities. I have no idea why politicians punish ordinary people for things they haven`t done. Unfortunately, we are all victims of politics at the end of the day.
Hello my friend. The purpose of sanctioning a country is for creating an atmosphere of difficult living. The west hope for an uprising in the sanctioned country. They always want someone who is obedient to the west's directive to be in power.
stay out of politics, praise Allah, follow his messenger, pledge allegiance to his family. May Allah protect you. Remember this life is only a trial. It ends and is almost meaningless.
@@esmailkhodadoost9933 life is meaningful. The meaning of life is the Love of God. The meaning of life is the love of one human being to another, of a mother to a child, of a husband to a spouse, etc. Even the love to see the sunrise, the green grass, the flowers and all of the amazing nature, that God created for us. The meaning of life is to love your family, relatives, friends and all, who you know. To repent from sin and to hope for the Mercy of God and for eternal life in God's Love with all people.

In CANADA our WEF communist dictator has tripled house prices and put food up 50 % with 4 carbon taxes.. He sends $ 2 billion in weaponry to the URKS but has no money for our army vets.
Eli, what a great video. People adapt, they find ways to continue. It's a shame such problems and issues turn up in the world, and are beyond most of our control. After all, we are all flesh and blood, we should be able to get on peacefully. Don't lose hope, and keep a sense of humour. Russia is a wonderful country (What little I visited), the people friendly and welcoming (The few I met). More people need to travel and have open minds, you find that we are all the same. Differences are not to be feared but welcomed, talk, and we can all find some common ground. Peace.
Politics is not far from you, it decides almost everything in your life. This is the biggest mistake to think about moving away from politics. The biggest mistake is for good people to walk away and remain silent. This is the greatest desire of bad politicians, dictators...
The key word being "NOW". 😅 I'm from southern Europe but a friend of mine works in a general store in Murmansk. During winter he sticks his hands into the drinks refrigerator to warm himself up. 😂😂😂
Hi there! I also live in Siberia (the south of the region, the city of Krasnoyarsk), and the summer weather here is pure hell. The heat hits so suddenly and so hard that I hardly feel alive, constantly in physical discomfort. Now it's +35°C (95°F). I... just hug the ice packs and dream about when this will all be over.🥴😵💫☠☠☠
Privet Eli, I really appreciate you making this vlog. I just stumbled on this somehow and kept watching. You are doing a good job of showing the reality in Russia.
I have visited Russia in October 2024 and it's a beautiful country and I had no problem in Russia and felt it as my second home . I enjoyed every second of my life and people welcomed me in their hone for lunch and dinner . Much love from India

I hate that I’m an NPC saying this. But I hate suffering and I’m glad they found their way. People who are trying to improve their lives matter a lot to me. So this video makes me incredibly happy. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your spirit is what we love. NEVER STOP!!!! From the us with love. ❤️
The famine in Russia is only in your lying media. We live here better than any Western country, and many times over. And yes, we have practically no beggars or homeless people.
This video was much more than simply helpful, it is incredibly important! The world needs someone like you to remind them that we average people are all the same and I sincerely hope that we can all be friends again one day. I just hope that TH-cam allows this video to remain available for any open minded westerner that cares about humanity so see 🙏

Hello Elina, just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for showing us a bit of life in Russia, the supermarkets, shopping, etc. I live in the U.S. and didn't personally have a clue how sanctions might effect day to day life for normal citizens. Russia looks like a beautiful country and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
@@pavelukraine4929As a person living in Western Europe and Russia, I can confirm that pensions are indeed small. On average, it is 200-270 euros. This is only enough for food, utilities and inexpensive clothing. I categorically disagree with prices and salaries. The average salary is 700-800 euros, but since transport, food, restaurants, services are cheaper, it is about 2000-2200 euros after taxes in Germany. Personally, I am more comfortable in Russia for 4000 euros than in Germany for 9000 euros. The standard of living is the same, but most services are better quality. Except for beer 😅
Hi, Eli. I'm glad to watch your video because I ever used to love Russians. The inhabitans of my country never had hate foreigners but the opposite. We are open arms to recieve them. I'm a man that follows of your channel to know more and more things about Russia. My english is at elementary level but is enough to understand. You speak very well, slowly, sweety, and with an excelent pronunciation that is a real pleasure to watch this videos. I'm from Buenos Aires city of Argentina. Here we speak spanish only but your channel is a real link for me to understand the life and the heart of the lovely Russian people. Dear Eli, I send you a huge embrace and don't give up. We need you remain uploading your beautiful videos. Excuse my bad writing. Greetings.❤
Thank you, Eli. This is my first video from you and I am so impressed that I subscribed. I'm looking forward to watching and learning more. I am an American citizen from Southern California who no longer understands my country. Praying for peace.

yep, no one does. we thought we understood america. we had faith in it without even thinking about it. we were brought up by it: hollywood and pop music essentially but even literature. us in the rest of the west. 'not america'. slowly is all began to go wrong. suspicious and strange things. Kennedy assassinations. Vietnam. 9/11... different things different times different places... and now it is totally out of the ballpark... completely and utterly insane... I think it needs the people. They do not participate in a democracy hence there is no democracy hence there's rule by an insane cabal with their own interests at heart and they are such stupid greedy blind eventually self destructive interests.. We need the american people but they don't seem to realise that. Brought up by hollywood in fantasyland: marvel comics and the wild west and fundamental christianity they only ever seem to plead for a saviour. they want someone - 'someone' to 'do something'. they want civil wars over which someone it will be... they just don't seem to get it: the answer lies with them. they need to run their own country as they are supposed to do in a democracy. they need to wake up, smarten up, real quick. there is a way: abrogard.com/blog/2023/12/25/dont-write-to-congress/ these tools would be adaptable to the purpose, perhaps are all ready right now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_voting_system
Your videos are truly interesting, your probably better off over there than we are here in the UK. It's really good to be able to see a normal person from any country talking about how it is to live there so thank you. Your English is very good too 😊
Thank you very much for all the details. I have been in Russia many times, but its been almost 10 years. The cities and people are great and exploring Russia was always wonderful. It's definitely a very unique experience!
You're lucky you were not there in January, it got down to -38c, pretty brutal but still such a nice place to be. I will be back there again (from England) in a couple of weeks, I cant wait.
Have you tried joining an English speaking club? They are quite nice here in Kazan. It might be a good way to find someone to talk to unless you've been lucky enough to come across a person with decent English:)
Just the stores, not goods. But what does it change anyway : i'm not sure these sanctions have any effects and whould they have any they'll make people struggle: not leaders even if nobody's innocent!
Thank you very much for your Videos, Eli. It is so nice to see how people live in different parts of the World. You certainly doing your bit to bringing us closer together.
I experienced real joy casually speaking my native English with Turkish youth at a "Kultur School." Your English is great; why can some people speak it well and some do not? Thanks for helping.
I can't learn a foreign language to save my life. The most I can accomplish is temporarily damaging my ability to speak English. It's not for lack of trying. There are many dimensions of intelligence, and some people fall short in language acquisition.
You are fantastic and very courageous! As an American, I am ashamed of our scapegoating of Russia for the financial interests that dictate the policies of our government. I really appreciate your attempt to bridge the gap between peoples and countries. BTW - Your English is amazing, and I hope you get the chance one day to see that not all people in my country are as mean-spirited as our sanctions suggest. Blessings on your work! I thrilled you've found a way to make a living doing what you love!!!

It's great that you are keeping strong during this crazy time, Russia needs citizens like you to inspire others, to set an example and lead the way. Excellent content. 👍👍👍
Brilliant Eli. You have probably helped many people wishing to travel to Russia and its many regions. I posted on another channels comments, that here in my local mall in Sydney, Australia, there was a money exchange and i could still get Russian Rubles.. So much for Australian sanctions. Remember Australia is a convict prison of Britain, that is now run by multi National Corporations. So any sanctions and opinions of the senior management of AusCorp, are not necessarily the opinions of our peoples here. Take care, stay safe Eli.

Unfortunately there will be no peace until Washington stops trying to crash Russia and take control of the resources. It was close to accomplishing that in the 90s but when Putin was elected he saved the country from destruction and the neocons have hated him ever since and created entire false narrative that everyone in the west has heard constantly since 2000. So Russia knows it will never be left alone so has disconnected from the US and its yapping puddle UK. For a long time Putin thought he could negotiate with the US but now there is finally realization that it will never happy so trade and any interaction with the west is useless and Russia has the largest trade pact in history as trading partners. Russia will not keep western tourists out but the US allows very few Russians to tour the US and eventually there will be bans on all BRICS member state citizens but BRICS represents the majority of world population, innovation, production and patents. Having most of the world trade in currencies not from the US is going to force the US to either destroy the majority of countries or learn to focus on the concerns of Americans instead of spending all their money on trying to be the world Hegemon. There are no other choices...leave other countries alone and trade with all as members instead of controlling the entire world, focusing on the making the lives better for average Americans who current lead more limited lifestyles than many other countries. Address the extreme poverty and crushing debt families have. The average family in the US has a lower standard of living then their parents did. With the extreme debt there is nothing left in family assets to give the children a leg up. The majority of Russians over 20 own their homes and have a degree with no debt. So young Russians travel a lot more and have a positive net worth. The average American 20 year old has debt that will never be paid off, The current generation of 20 something's will be the first generation of Americans who will never own a home or not have crimpling debt. If one lived an average life in the US vs Russia, there would be a dramatic difference in options, the Russia would like have a free home and only pay utilities, and $5/mo for high speed internet. They would not buy into subscription TV and its $200 a mo., but be an active participant in society because with in walking distance there is so much more to do than in the US that is free or very low cost so you do not see young adults watch tv unless in a pub with friends for a football game. or go to games or join a team. But there are a thousands other activities in every city. If one is bored in a Russian city they probably do not have a pulse. Where I typing this I am 10 minutes walking to 234 drama theaters, 550 English style pubs with good food and live music in many of them, 13,000 4-5 star rated restaurants of every national cuisine one could imagine(Trip Advisor visitor ratings, a dozen ballet theaters, 473 museums, 184 are major world class museums, more cruising canals than Venice, dozens of poetry venues, dance clubs, social clubs beaches, open air dance, many jazz clubs many art museums parks that are open all day and night...600 of them, safe beautiful and zero crime. and much more. And almost all free...the rides in the amusement parks cost...lectures. One feature not found in the west is simple socalizing anywhere and never having a hostile reaction, people get a long and males and females like each other and treat each other with respect. That is something that died a long time about in the west. And none of this requires a car. Public transportation is great, cheap frequent goes where you want to go, and Taxis are cheap . I would wager a great deal that one out on foot in the cities here would be a heck of a lot more fun, safer, much cheaper, and stress compared to anyplace you offer from the west
After Vietnam won its independence it should be ashamed of supporting what's Russia is doing to Ukraine and supporting the same thing that was not acceptable to happen to Vietnam
but don't forget that this is a capital of russia, where life by itself is pretty abundant, if you have a lot of money of course. there's also a saying that "moscow and russia are two different countries" meaning that you simply shouldn't forget that moscow is a gigantic megapolis and things there are different from regular russian cities
@@lk9204вообще нет. Откуда этот бред пошел вообще? Была в Москве, СПБ, Казани, Нижнем Новгороде, Новосибирске, Екатеринбурге, Калининграде и Зеленоградске, Сочи, Геленджик, Севастополь. Жизнь во всем перечисленных городах одинаково хороша. Зп соотносятся с ценами в магазинах. Единственное, что отличает Москву от всех остальных - наличие бизнес-центра Москва-сити и очень развитый метрополитен. ВСЁ. Больше скажу, маленький тихий Зеленоградск на берегу моря мне понравился больше всех миллионников и даже больше Мадрида, в котором была относительно недавно, из-за чего и могу их сравнить. Ещё один плюс Москвы - много путей развития карьеры, если ты хочешь стать госслужащим или актером/артистом. Просто потому, что там административный центр и куча театров/киностудий. Но это свойственно любой столице. Так поясни мне пж, откуда пошел этот высер про Москву?
Wow, Eli. First of all, i want to tell you that i just discovered you and your channel here on TH-cam a couple of days ago and I find your videos to be so entertaining, informative and a delight to watch. I am a world traveler that has traveled to 24 countries since 2016, speak 4 languages and have always been intrigued by your country. I love Dostoyevsky and the music of Dimitri Shostakovich, so yes....Russia has always piqued my interest in many ways. I even almost came to Russia in 2019 but did not have enough time to fit Moscow into my travel intinerary. Fast forward to now. Once the war with Ukraine started i became very discouraged about ever coming to Russia but your videos have helped change that the past few days. Thanks for awakening some hope in me, Eli! This video especially has made me realise it is possible to visit Russia and I want to say thank you so much for the information in the second half. Now i may even decide to begin learning to speak and read some Russian in the coming months. I will keep watching your videos and who knows, maybe next year I come to Russia? Maybe!! Keep creating your wonderful videos and I will keep warching.....Jerry 😎
I've watched and enjoyed you're videos for a long time, and thank you for keeping up the great work. Wishing you and your country all the best and hope for peace and stability soon. I love seeing the truth and the resilience and adaptation to all the sanctions. It's remarkable and put a smile on my face.

Hi Eli. I am from England and am a big fan of yours. I have learned a lot of great things about Russia and to be honest its not that much different to England in the most important ways. You are a wonderful diplomat for your country, long may you and your country prosper, if only we could get some of your good oil prices, out prices are going through the roof!

Singapore sanctioned Russia for invading Ukraine, which led to export controls and financial transaction restrictions. In retaliation, Russia labeled Singapore as an "unfriendly country."

Excellent video, Eli. Thank you. I had hoped to travel to Russia in summer 2022, but that didn’t work out! I lived and worked in Russia for years, married a Russian woman I met in Leningrad, and we have a beautiful daughter. I hope to visit Russia again soon - if only to have coffee in Cafe Zinger in Dom Knigi on Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, and look across at the magnificent Kazansky Sobor. The information you provided is super helpful. Желаю Вам успехов!
Hello there! From Syria 🇸🇾 The third most sanctioned country in the world. I have stayed in Syria even after the beginning of the crisis even today! My experience with Syria with being sanctions imposed by the west. Has been highly difficult. The topics that said in the video like Internet were quite the same happening here. But we never banned any platform. The platform banned us. But us Syrians that stayed have power because we never left. We have fought through difficult times yet refuse to flee. That is something called power through us. Others fled. We stayed. We fought against the west powerfully and we succeeded. We will never forget. I love Russia and respect everything to them! 🇸🇾❤️🇷🇺
@@xcvb213 It is hard to explain with one word. We have the same worldview. The internal feeling what is right and what is wrong. Some inernal code. Same with India, Serbia, Iran, China. We are on the one side of history. For traditional values.
you fought against the west ? HAHAHAHH you kid you have no idea what you are talking about. syria is a third world country with people that barely have food. what have you succeeded lol. plus you talk sh1t about the WEST, while speaking ENGLISH. hahahah how funny is that ? 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely fascinated by your content even though I am originally from and currently back in Russia. I guess it’s the way you present yourself - with such ease and honesty. Also, it’s so curious to observe the everyday things we encounter or the things we know being delivered in English. Makes me feel like a foreigner wanting to go to Russia. Anyway, you’re doing great, you go girl! Very excited to have stumbled upon your channel.
Never crossed border of russia (born here). Most she said in the video true (mayby everything). Nothing bad will happen to you if you dont brake the law. The law not really different from other countres exept lgbt things and drugs. LGBT officialy prohibited but in practice police dont touch even lgbt clubs and you can do anything at your home while you dont public things that breaks those kind of laws. Mostly this law exists for protecting childs. Our gowerment knows that 1-5% ppl cant do anything with teir sexual orientation and dont touch them. Nobody will jail you if you joke somthing like "Nice nuts bro" even publicly (even in the internet).
I hope this video will be useful for those who plan to visit Russia at this time, for people who (like me) struggled with transferring money to or from Russia, and for those who wondered what life is like in the most sanctioned country in the world.

What you experience can also be explained by this article : "Nearly 90 Percent of the World Isn't Following Us on Ukraine".
Excerpt : "While the United States and its closest allies in Europe and Asia have imposed tough economic sanctions on Moscow, 87 percent of the world's population has declined to follow us. "
*America is able to place illegal, unethical, and biased sanctions on any country that refuses to take America's order or any country that tries to punish America's illegitimate child Israel and America's violent NATO allies, and America places those sanctions by applying the power of its currency called U.S.Dollar, but American dollar is not even the property of America but it's a property of Zionist Jewish Rothschild family of The U.K and Germany. Many American companies like Google, Instagram, TH-cam, Meta, Facebook, etc, are owned by Zionist Jews who have Russian, Ukrainian, German, British, and Polish backgrounds. Russian language is the second biggest language of Israel. Many Russian Jews who are not semetic have dual nationalities of Israel and Russia and Kremlin illegally and unethically allows them to leave Russia, to move to Israel, to keep dual nationalities of Russia and Israel, and to commit violent and non-violent crimes against Muslim individuals, against Muslim countries, against Palestinians, against Arab countries, against Arab Christians, and against the rest of the World, and recently Israeli Jews used Tajik militants to shoot down over 160 Russians during a concert at Moscow Theater. If Russia, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South American countries etc, want to avoid American sanctions then they will have to put their minds and hearts together to demolish American Dollar (USD), to create their own U.N, NATO, FATF, World Bank, IMF, Nobel Prize, UNESCO, I.C.C, and I.CJ plus they will have to close their air space, oceans, highways, and railway tracks for America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, European Union, NATO member countries, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Turkey, India, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Japan, South Korea, and Philippines.*

I'm a Brit living in the UK and have just returned from 10 days in Russia. Everything Eli says is correct. I flew to Tallinn, Estonia and then took the coach to Saint Petersburg. I booked return coach travel before leaving UK as LuxExpress have a business base in Europe so cards work to pay them. The border at Narva/Ivangorod is pedestrian only so one coach drops you at the Estonian border crossing point and then another coach is on the other side of the river/bridge in Russia waiting to take you onwards.
The advantage of this route is flights to Tallinn from UK are cheap and the return coach fare came to about £80. You also see a lot of the countries looking out the coach windows and the coaches were very comfortable with hot drinks, free bottled water and good Wifi. I stayed a couple of nights in SP and then took the train to Moscow which was a fantastic experience especially since on return I booked the Sapsan non stop train and the service in business class was awesome with breakfast part of the ticket.
Train tickets were £59 going (economy class) and £95 returning (business class).
Apart from wanting to see SP I stayed there for 2 nights to get a breather after the journey but I have known people get the train to Moscow as soon as they arrive on the coach in SP. If you do this it competes very well time wise versus flying to Turkey (from UK) and then taking a flight to Moscow. The flight option is also more expensive.
One thing with the Yandex app for taxis you can go into the settings and select that you want to pay cash.
I enjoyed every single minute of my time in Russia and the people I came into contact with were lovely and went out of their way to provide assistance when I needed it.
Regarding the visa I was able to get an e-visa since I also hold an Irish (EU) passport. I applied on line and I received the e-visa after 3 days. It's valid for 60 days and the maximum stay is 16 days (for one visit) - remember day of arrival and day of departure count as days to the max 16 days.
With the ramifications of the sanctions a trip takes some organising but it's well worth the effort. Also I was able to buy Roubles at a good rate from a company based in the UK.
Thanks for the information. So your UK credit cards don't work in Russia? I couldn't find anyone who would exchange £ for Rubles since the proxy war
Are you from NI?

So if you are a British citizen what made you to come back to the UK if you liked everything there so much? SPB today is not SPB 10 years ago …

Hi Eli, thanks so much for the tips and information.
I've just recently started looking for videos about Russia. Both my husband and I have had some ancestors who lived in Russia in the 1800s. But we don't hear about Russia nowadays. So, I want to learn more about what life is like in Russia. Most of us in America have lost trust in our mass media. So, it's much better to get news directly from an average person living in Russia. Thanks for your videos! I'm glad that I found you!
Much love from Arizona, Eli! I’m glad you’re doing well and the sanctions don’t affect you directly. May we all find peace one day

Because the liar and war criminal Putin the aggressor is attacking Ukraine. Russia will lose and collapse and this stupid person is talking about restricting her passport.
As Americans we will never find peace. We have been invading countries and killing people who did nothing to us for every day of my 74 years, including the coup we did that created the war against the people of Donbas and backed authentic Nazis. I spend a lot of time in Ukraine and the only president who was popularly elected was the one the US staged the coup against and created to attacked on Russian speakers. It is pretty hard to find any war, assassination or rigged election that the US did not arrange.
Putin wants piece, piece of Ukraine, piece of Latvia etc etc kinda like Hitler huh
Putin wants piece everywhere, pieceof Ukraine , piece of Estonia etc etc, in Putinworld ,one man in Moscow owns half of Europe. He enjoys being a slave owner , he will never give it up.

As a Canadian, I don't see differences between your country and mine worth dying for. I hope peace comes soon.
AFAIK Canada has never invaded a neighbour ... Small difference between russia and china ...
Basic healthcare. It's atrocious in Canada. Unfortunately.
Cost of labor vs quality is also not that good in Canada, especially when we are talking construction etc.
Corruption is something that doesn't even exist in Canada compared to Russia. So here are points to Canada.
Also people's genuine desire to help you is much more evident and common in Canada.
Overall stability - military, economic, political is better in Canada.
There are ideological differences - woke culture and laws in Canada vs censorship on anything regarding the people who hold power in Russia. Both are not good at all.
But there are similarities too. Both countries struggle with their geographical positions, both have inhabitable areas, small population vs land size, dependency on natural resources, costly infrastructure etc.

Once again, Eli always shows interesting and very useful videos for people all over the world to watch. Yes, you are really great at choosing broadcast topics, Eli!
Shut up nice boy
I just discovered this channel recently and subscribed immediately! It is amazing how broad Eli comes around many aspects of Russian culture and life in Russia in general. Im 30 years old from Denmark and i've spent my mid twenties studying Russian studies at the University of Copenhagen, where i had the chance to go on exchange twice to Ekaterinburg (2018) and Moscow (2019) respectively. I even lived for a short time (3 months) with my Russian ex girlfriend in Kaluga. My experiences in Russia have been so amazing and life changing both in terms of adapting (as well being welcomed) to a new culture and personal development. Russian people might seem a little cold at first, but as soon as you get to know them they can be the warmest, loyal and most affectionate people you will ever meet! The Russians i met were ordinary Russians (like the ones appearing in most of Eli's videos) with average-paid jobs, and despite their lack of privilege, these people would spent their free time borrowing their friends cars (or bicycles) to take me out on the countryside (Derevnya) and show me the beautiful nature of Mother Russia. They would as well spend a whole day showing me every metro station in the bigger cities, or take me to war museums while explaining Russian mentality. It's truly sad how Russia and its people are being displayed as enemies in Western media.. Keep up the fantastic work Eli! with your content you are creating the best diplomatic tool/bridge for Russian-interested foreigners to understand Russian culture and Russians on a deeper level - by also showing how powerful culture is and something that people can relate to on a mass level. Hope to go back one day! Peace.
I have Russian friends here in Europe. Their skills are so outstanding they’ve been brought here. And what you are showing is literally what they are telling me. They even invited me to see Russia by myself to discover people and the culture. Honestly, I am super bitter because all this current context isn’t belonging to us, people and by that I mean citizens of the world… If there were no politics and social engineering we’d certainly see more « humanity » and just human beings bonding.
Please allow me to correct you. Russia spans two continents: one part is in Europe, and the other is considered part of Asia. Therefore, we refer to it as a Eurasian country. By "Europe," I meant the countries of the EU. There's no need to frame it in a way that conveys negative feelings. Even if it makes you feel superior or better with yourself…
@@irisbrejean8019 You're absolutely correct. Personally I also think that calling Russia a European country is wrong to an extent: we're simultaneously European and Asian in our ways, and that's one of the aspects that makes us unique. Russia is Eurasian, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm really glad you've had such a great experience with your friends!

As much as I like your idealism the fact that Russia has illegally invaded and occupied another country doesn't go away. What should Ukraine do in your opinion?

We love you Eli and Russia from Kabul, Afghanistan. I can understand you since we also live under sanctions and that is affecting the lives of ordinary people who have nothing to do with politics and the authorities. I have no idea why politicians punish ordinary people for things they haven`t done. Unfortunately, we are all victims of politics at the end of the day.
Hello my friend. The purpose of sanctioning a country is for creating an atmosphere of difficult living. The west hope for an uprising in the sanctioned country. They always want someone who is obedient to the west's directive to be in power.
why your people, when come here to EU behave like criminals? I thought Islam teaches people better and to respect the law and other people?
Because America, that's why.

This is only enough for food, utilities and inexpensive clothing. I categorically disagree with prices and salaries. The average salary is 700-800 euros, but since transport, food, restaurants, services are cheaper, it is about 2000-2200 euros after taxes in Germany. Personally, I am more comfortable in Russia for 4000 euros than in Germany for 9000 euros. The standard of living is the same, but most services are better quality. Except for beer 😅
Hi, Eli. I'm glad to watch your video because I ever used to love Russians. The inhabitans of my country never had hate foreigners but the opposite. We are open arms to recieve them. I'm a man that follows of your channel to know more and more things about Russia. My english is at elementary level but is enough to understand. You speak very well, slowly, sweety, and with an excelent pronunciation that is a real pleasure to watch this videos. I'm from Buenos Aires city of Argentina. Here we speak spanish only but your channel is a real link for me to understand the life and the heart of the lovely Russian people. Dear Eli, I send you a huge embrace and don't give up. We need you remain uploading your beautiful videos. Excuse my bad writing. Greetings.❤
Your English is quite good, but write "your" instead of "her". tus videos, no sus videos
@@RichardWagner-hi4zn Muchas gracias por la sugerencia. Saludos.
I believe its important to separate the leadership from the people. I have met wonderful people all over the world but their governments? Draconian.
Hello from USA. Good videos! Thank you ❤
This was eye opening! Thanks for your insight. :)
I like your channel and your positive attitude) Keep it going!👍
Thank you, Eli. This is my first video from you and I am so impressed that I subscribed. I'm looking forward to watching and learning more. I am an American citizen from Southern California who no longer understands my country. Praying for peace.

SHE TALKS ABOUT POLITICS, BUT THEN BANS PEOPLE FROM GVING HER AN ANSWER, REGARDING THE SANCTIONS IN RUSSIA. (MORONIC) CLEARLY ANOTHER RED DIAPER BABY. 🤣🤣🤣😅😆😄🙂
yep, no one does. we thought we understood america. we had faith in it without even thinking about it. we were brought up by it: hollywood and pop music essentially but even literature. us in the rest of the west. 'not america'.
slowly is all began to go wrong. suspicious and strange things. Kennedy assassinations. Vietnam. 9/11... different things different times different places... and now it is totally out of the ballpark... completely and utterly insane...
I think it needs the people.
They do not participate in a democracy hence there is no democracy hence there's rule by an insane cabal with their own interests at heart and they are such stupid greedy blind eventually self destructive interests..
We need the american people but they don't seem to realise that.
Brought up by hollywood in fantasyland: marvel comics and the wild west and fundamental christianity they only ever seem to plead for a saviour. they want someone - 'someone' to 'do something'. they want civil wars over which someone it will be... they just don't seem to get it: the answer lies with them.
they need to run their own country as they are supposed to do in a democracy. they need to wake up, smarten up, real quick.

Go and move to Russia. It's nice. Many gulgags many cameras, no freedom of press, many journalists imprisoned. Nice.
Your videos are truly interesting, your probably better off over there than we are here in the UK. It's really good to be able to see a normal person from any country talking about how it is to live there so thank you. Your English is very good too 😊
Thank you very much for all the details. I have been in Russia many times, but its been almost 10 years. The cities and people are great and exploring Russia was always wonderful. It's definitely a very unique experience!
Much better now.
Love your channel !! Best wishes for all peaceful people in the World
Congratulations. Graet explanetion. Thank you .
THATS A LOT OF WONDERFULL AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION,VERY NICE OF YOU MAKING THIS VIDEO
Superb video. A wealth of information. Thank you.
As an Aussie living in Kazan for the last 3 months it has been such a pleasure being here.
You're lucky you were not there in January, it got down to -38c, pretty brutal but still such a nice place to be. I will be back there again (from England) in a couple of weeks, I cant wait.
@@stapleyp 38 не было😁, но эта зима в Казани трахнула абсолютно всех🙃
@stapleyp we came on a 40 degree day in Perth to minus 21 here. We've being looking after my wife's aging mum and starting to get to know the place.
I was in Kazan last month, I really liked the city. I didn't like the taxi drivers, they drive like racers.
Have you tried joining an English speaking club? They are quite nice here in Kazan. It might be a good way to find someone to talk to unless you've been lucky enough to come across a person with decent English:)
The FOOD sector did not suffer ANY direct SANCTIONS. In fact, one of the largest food retailers in Russia is the FRENCH AUCHAN
Just the stores, not goods.
But what does it change anyway : i'm not sure these sanctions have any effects and whould they have any they'll make people struggle: not leaders even if nobody's innocent!

Thank you very much for your Videos, Eli. It is so nice to see how people live in different parts of the World. You certainly doing your bit to bringing us closer together.
Another excellent video Eli. Very useful tips. Thanks for being so open and generous with your info.
Hi Eli
I’m not travelling to Russia but this video is really good I feel like alot of people will find this so helpful
I experienced real joy casually speaking my native English with Turkish youth at a "Kultur School."
Your English is great; why can some people speak it well and some do not? Thanks for helping.
I can't learn a foreign language to save my life. The most I can accomplish is temporarily damaging my ability to speak English. It's not for lack of trying. There are many dimensions of intelligence, and some people fall short in language acquisition.
You are fantastic and very courageous! As an American, I am ashamed of our scapegoating of Russia for the financial interests that dictate the policies of our government. I really appreciate your attempt to bridge the gap between peoples and countries. BTW - Your English is amazing, and I hope you get the chance one day to see that not all people in my country are as mean-spirited as our sanctions suggest. Blessings on your work! I thrilled you've found a way to make a living doing what you love!!!
They do it to each other. America doesn't hold all the blame. It's all about wanting the top dog position. And as we know, it's only the citizens who suffer the consequences.

Very Informative Video, Thanks Eli from Australia, planning to visit Russia in the next couple of years.
Wow you have made a seriously useful video for tourists coming to Russia. Maybe you should change the title or include something in the thumbnail so that tourists can find this informative video. It's great that you are keeping strong during this crazy time, Russia needs citizens like you to inspire others, to set an example and lead the way. Excellent content. 👍👍👍
Brilliant Eli. You have probably helped many people wishing to travel to Russia and its many regions. I posted on another channels comments, that here in my local mall in Sydney, Australia, there was a money exchange and i could still get Russian Rubles.. So much for Australian sanctions.
Remember Australia is a convict prison of Britain, that is now run by multi National Corporations. So any sanctions and opinions of the senior management of AusCorp, are not necessarily the opinions of our peoples here. Take care, stay safe Eli.

Unfortunately there will be no peace until Washington stops trying to crash Russia and take control of the resources. It was close to accomplishing that in the 90s but when Putin was elected he saved the country from destruction and the neocons have hated him ever since and created entire false narrative that everyone in the west has heard constantly since 2000. So Russia knows it will never be left alone so has disconnected from the US and its yapping puddle UK. For a long time Putin thought he could negotiate with the US but now there is finally realization that it will never happy so trade and any interaction with the west is useless and Russia has the largest trade pact in history as trading partners. Russia will not keep western tourists out but the US allows very few Russians to tour the US and eventually there will be bans on all BRICS member state citizens but BRICS represents the majority of world population, innovation, production and patents. Having most of the world trade in currencies not from the US is going to force the US to either destroy the majority of countries or learn to focus on the concerns of Americans instead of spending all their money on trying to be the world Hegemon. There are no other choices...leave other countries alone and trade with all as members instead of controlling the entire world, focusing on the making the lives better for average Americans who current lead more limited lifestyles than many other countries. Address the extreme poverty and crushing debt families have. The average family in the US has a lower standard of living then their parents did. With the extreme debt there is nothing left in family assets to give the children a leg up. The majority of Russians over 20 own their homes and have a degree with no debt. So young Russians travel a lot more and have a positive net worth. The average American 20 year old has debt that will never be paid off, The current generation of 20 something's will be the first generation of Americans who will never own a home or not have crimpling debt. If one lived an average life in the US vs Russia, there would be a dramatic difference in options, the Russia would like have a free home and only pay utilities, and $5/mo for high speed internet. They would not buy into subscription TV and its $200 a mo., but be an active participant in society because with in walking distance there is so much more to do than in the US that is free or very low cost so you do not see young adults watch tv unless in a pub with friends for a football game. or go to games or join a team. But there are a thousands other activities in every city. If one is bored in a Russian city they probably do not have a pulse. Where I typing this I am 10 minutes walking to 234 drama theaters, 550 English style pubs with good food and live music in many of them, 13,000 4-5 star rated restaurants of every national cuisine one could imagine(Trip Advisor visitor ratings, a dozen ballet theaters, 473 museums, 184 are major world class museums, more cruising canals than Venice, dozens of poetry venues, dance clubs, social clubs beaches, open air dance, many jazz clubs many art museums parks that are open all day and night...600 of them, safe beautiful and zero crime. and much more. And almost all free...the rides in the amusement parks cost...lectures. One feature not found in the west is simple socalizing anywhere and never having a hostile reaction, people get a long and males and females like each other and treat each other with respect. That is something that died a long time about in the west. And none of this requires a car. Public transportation is great, cheap frequent goes where you want to go, and Taxis are cheap . I would wager a great deal that one out on foot in the cities here would be a heck of a lot more fun, safer, much cheaper, and stress compared to anyplace you offer from the west
The sanctions will end as soon as Russia ends its brutal war of aggression in Ukraine and withdraws its troops to its own country.

I find Russian culture and daily life very interesting. This video is a clear look at what i am curious about! This is perfect!
but don't forget that this is a capital of russia, where life by itself is pretty abundant, if you have a lot of money of course.
there's also a saying that "moscow and russia are two different countries" meaning that you simply shouldn't forget that moscow is a gigantic megapolis and things there are different from regular russian cities
@@lk9204вообще нет. Откуда этот бред пошел вообще? Была в Москве, СПБ, Казани, Нижнем Новгороде, Новосибирске, Екатеринбурге, Калининграде и Зеленоградске, Сочи, Геленджик, Севастополь. Жизнь во всем перечисленных городах одинаково хороша. Зп соотносятся с ценами в магазинах. Единственное, что отличает Москву от всех остальных - наличие бизнес-центра Москва-сити и очень развитый метрополитен. ВСЁ.
Больше скажу, маленький тихий Зеленоградск на берегу моря мне понравился больше всех миллионников и даже больше Мадрида, в котором была относительно недавно, из-за чего и могу их сравнить.
Ещё один плюс Москвы - много путей развития карьеры, если ты хочешь стать госслужащим или актером/артистом. Просто потому, что там административный центр и куча театров/киностудий. Но это свойственно любой столице.
Так поясни мне пж, откуда пошел этот высер про Москву?
Wow, Eli. First of all, i want to tell you that i just discovered you and your channel here on TH-cam a couple of days ago and I find your videos to be so entertaining, informative and a delight to watch. I am a world traveler that has traveled to 24 countries since 2016, speak 4 languages and have always been intrigued by your country. I love Dostoyevsky and the music of Dimitri Shostakovich, so yes....Russia has always piqued my interest in many ways. I even almost came to Russia in 2019 but did not have enough time to fit Moscow into my travel intinerary. Fast forward to now. Once the war with Ukraine started i became very discouraged about ever coming to Russia but your videos have helped change that the past few days. Thanks for awakening some hope in me, Eli! This video especially has made me realise it is possible to visit Russia and I want to say thank you so much for the information in the second half. Now i may even decide to begin learning to speak and read some Russian in the coming months. I will keep watching your videos and who knows, maybe next year I come to Russia? Maybe!! Keep creating your wonderful videos and I will keep warching.....Jerry 😎
Your videos are good specially this one is very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I've watched and enjoyed you're videos for a long time, and thank you for keeping up the great work. Wishing you and your country all the best and hope for peace and stability soon.
I love seeing the truth and the resilience and adaptation to all the sanctions. It's remarkable and put a smile on my face.
Great information thank you. Cannot wait to visit soon.

Singapore sanctioned Russia for invading Ukraine, which led to export controls and financial transaction restrictions. In retaliation, Russia labeled Singapore as an "unfriendly country."
Singapore shouldn't be a stooge of America. Did Singapore sanction Israel for killing 40,000 civilians in 9 months ?
Were they (Singapore) forced to do that, or did they do that with enthusiasm?
@@nathanhiggers4606 Putin is an illegitimate unelected FSB thug and war criminal responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands, ruining his country and causing a trillion in damages in Ukraine.

Hello there! From Syria 🇸🇾 The third most sanctioned country in the world. I have stayed in Syria even after the beginning of the crisis even today!
My experience with Syria with being sanctions imposed by the west.
Has been highly difficult.
The topics that said in the video like Internet were quite the same happening here.
But we never banned any platform.
The platform banned us.
But us Syrians that stayed have power because we never left. We have fought through difficult times yet refuse to flee.
That is something called power through us.
Others fled.
We stayed.
We fought against the west powerfully and we succeeded. We will never forget.
I love Russia and respect everything to them! 🇸🇾❤️🇷🇺
Why is Syria so close with Russia?
@@xcvb213because they’re both countries built on dictatorships
@@xcvb213 It is hard to explain with one word. We have the same worldview. The internal feeling what is right and what is wrong. Some inernal code. Same with India, Serbia, Iran, China. We are on the one side of history. For traditional values.

Just want to send gratitude and respect for what I consider the best kind of journalism.
Absolutely fascinated by your content even though I am originally from and currently back in Russia. I guess it’s the way you present yourself - with such ease and honesty. Also, it’s so curious to observe the everyday things we encounter or the things we know being delivered in English. Makes me feel like a foreigner wanting to go to Russia.
Anyway, you’re doing great, you go girl! Very excited to have stumbled upon your channel.
Never crossed border of russia (born here). Most she said in the video true (mayby everything).
Nothing bad will happen to you if you dont brake the law. The law not really different from other countres exept lgbt things and drugs. LGBT officialy prohibited but in practice police dont touch even lgbt clubs and you can do anything at your home while you dont public things that breaks those kind of laws. Mostly this law exists for protecting childs. Our gowerment knows that 1-5% ppl cant do anything with teir sexual orientation and dont touch them.
Nobody will jail you if you joke somthing like "Nice nuts bro" even publicly (even in the internet).
