Well done brave Russians for speaking out here, you represent the sensible and intelligence of all Russia, I wish there were more like you and this war will end.
#Time of your life This is just a "sample" of Russians expressing themselves. over No one is claiming this is a scientific opinion survey - but any such survey could not be objective if carried out by the Russian Government. State telephone surveys will get self-censored replies owing to the criminal sanctions that can be deployed against dissident opinions. Self-censorship will prevent any true picture of public opinion being captured.
There are very different comments coming from older Russians and people from rural areas. Most of these people in this video are from cities, are young, are educated and have information from other outside sources than just the State TV propaganda.
yup 140 million people that dont want war, only the couple hundred men in kremlin. wake the fuck up, if the majority didnt want opressors like that to rule then they would have removed them. its naive people like you that makes things like this happen.
01:45 - brave guy. I see very little - if anything - that separates US and Russian citizens. We're at the mercy of our shady governments. I feel sorry for us all.
It’s good to know, despite the best efforts of the Russian government that the truth is getting through to the Russian people and they’re forming their own opinions.
It does not rly..my father fought in lughansk almost 2 full years as a volunteer there from Serbia so yeah some ppl know some are just overwhelmed by propaganda and lies
@@MsLemons12 it's all about having a good internet connection and a VPN. The less well off rely on the TV and Radio for their news. Most of the soldiers are coming from places with less options.
I cant believe what I was hearing from some of the young men. They were very brave to speak their mind and I hope they will be left alone from the authorities.
"If we evaluate our history, we almost never lose" said one of the interviewees... This is one of the biggest mistakes in the evaluation of the generality of the Russian people in relation to their own history. Since the victories and conquests, at least since the foundation of the USSR, NEVER WERE IN FAVOR OF THE PEOPLE, but AGAINST THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE; not only in terms of the equality of rights and duties of those who govern and those who are governed, but also in relation to the freedom to be and to be.
Speaker at 3,40 has it right. "IF" NATO wanted to attack Russia, they would have done so in 1989 and/or 1991, when the place was in chaos. They did not attack! I understand Russian desire for buffer States between Russia and NATO, but there is an alternative. Forget paranoia, and learn to live in peace with neighbours, within secure borders.
If Russia had done that, Nato would probably be pretty much done. Still all allies that practices together just in case but no need for the big organization itself
Interesting video; it reveals the extent of ignorance in a few of those interviewed, the extent of critical thinking in some, and the courage of others.
It's not their fault. The people of Russia get very limited world wide news coverage. Russian government control the news. Its called propaganda. Ask Kim Jun Un
Correctly. Only I think you've been thinking a little bit about the wrong people. Those who are not addicted to the idea think critically. Accordingly, the ignorant are those who are stoned. And there are no brave ones in this video. The brave ones left for a special operation.
True, but how much critical thinking does it really take to come to the conclusion, as at 3:30, that if NATO wanted to attack Russia, it would have already done so.
@@ФреддиКрюгер-й1н Maybe some brave, but others desparate for the money. They were recruited from some of the poorest areas in Russia. They were farmers and workers from industrial plants and many who weren't employed at all. They had no idea what they were headed to. They weren't told that this Special mission included dying, now more than 20,000 Russian soldier lie dead in a country they didn't want to be in in the first place. Many called home crying to their mothers because they were afraid. That didn't make them cowards by any means. They were brave, braver than most I'd say. Brave enough to admit they were scared and wanted to go home. They were all young and didn't want to die but Putin obsession to conquer Ukraine has cost many a young man's lives. My heart just breaks for those who are already dead and those who soon will be. They didn't deserve this. Neither do the Russian people... even those too ignorant and blind that they beleive everything the government tells them. Because soon, every Russian will feel the pinch of poverty. And Putin will continue to take young men from their jobs, homes and families to continue this madness without a care in the world as to how many are just canon fodder.
Some brave people here. Nato is absolutely not interested in war with Russia. After the invasion of Ukraine Russia's neighbours are taking rational steps to protect themselves by joining Nato. It is an insurance policy that's all. Thank you for this illuminating video! (from London)
NATO was formed to keep Russia from beating up it’s little neighbors, don’t forget Russia was an ally of Nazi Germany in the beginning of the war, It’s still run by a holes just like the United States is also !!!!!
what? Russia tried to join NATO and was refused I wonder why? Russia (Soviet Union) suffered the most during WW2 and asked the west for funding in the Marshall Plan and the UK/US refused because they want a weak Russia. NATO whole alliance is based off on hating the Russians if Russia was to join NATO their whole alliance would be a sham.
Russia neighboring countries wants to join NATO not because they want attack Russia but because they don't want to be attacked by Russian government, as it happened in Ukraine or Georgia.
This are the minority of Educated Russia people. But the vast majority that is from rural areas, brainwashed and ignorant, they do suport Putin and war.
Yeah no one wants war. But if someone supports it, you need to know that they want "special operation" not war. Since they are all are very brainwashed.
Got to love the Russian people, no matter the amount of propaganda manipulation and darkness forced upon them they still persevere and break through the lies while embracing the truth 😇🤗🥲👍✌🤙
The guy who's a "lieutenant colonel in the soviet army" and thinks NATO is scared of Russia killed me. They think they're all that and underestimate NATO so much it's funny.
Yeah the other guy has it right, we haven't attacked because we don't want to attack them. Even if they didn't have nukes there would be very very very little support for attacking Russia...that was until they started attacking others.
@@endtimesaints7084 NATO is a defencive organisation. It does not invades. No NATO country as plans to invade Russia. Only Russia claims that to scare its population and for propaganda. Who in their right mind would want to invade Russia? Just why?
Fantastic video , I am from a nato country , and we feel the same , it’s not the people who hate each other just politicians causing trouble , we are seeing lots of casualties on both sides Ukrainian is destroyed, sorry for Russian lives lost as well as Ukrainian lives lost , it’s so sad for everyone 💖not just in Europe everywhere else as well .

4 month ago Ukrania was a beautiful country with peaceful people who went to work, raised their children, went to the bakery to buy bread for their families, celebrating birthdays and weddings...just like everyone in the world does. Children played on the playground, people walked in the park. One person changed it all!!!
o.k. that justifies all the murder and rape on civilians?? Torture and killings on innocent children????? Yes my dear! Keep watching russian national news and wait until Russia will be totally isolated like North Korea.
9 years ago the "beautiful" Ukraine was a country that started commiting genocide against another nation also living within Ukraine thereby breaching its own binding obligations under the UN Convention for the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide. So was it really beautiful? No, it wasn't. It was a country that opted for killing another nation instead of trying to find a democratic way out of a complicated situation. So, it was and is an ugly state. No wonder that this person had to start what he did so as to save that other nation... Absolutely, no wonder. You totally deserved what you get now.
Wavvv I shocked..So many brave Russian people said own ideas without afraid..And all of them clever from their president..Best regards to Russian people.. Nobody wants war with Russia ..And We love Russian peoples...
Muscovites may as well be a different nationality to the rest of Russia because they’re generally well informed, opinionated and west facing. Rural and provincial Russia (where Putin has his main support) is the opposite.
Most Mocovites under 40 have VPNs and can get news outside of Russian propoganda, however in the rest of Russia they just injest their news spoon fed to them propoganda and lies.
seems same as st. petersburg, young educated people silently opposing the war, but with no real chance to do anything about it. depressing situation. no wonder so many people try to leave.
You think in propaganda clichés. There are many million-plus cities in Russia with an educated population. And in general, look at the UN statistics showing the average level of education in countries, so as not to broadcast the nonsense that you wrote.
@@ownageDan and why shall they oposes it?

I love how most Russian interviewed have a good grasp on reality. Like one guy said, if NATO wanted to invade, they would have done so. NOBODY wants to invade Russia. People want to just get on with life, trade, travel, enjoy different cultures, etc. And anyone who thinks NATO is a toothless tiger and no match to Russia's military, they probably don't know how badly the Russian military has been doing in Ukraine. Soviet era equipment, poorly maintained, etc. And even with Putin's 6000+ nukes, it makes me wonder how effective even they would be. This mess in Ukraine is all because of one man's refusal to get past his Soviet era thinking. And innocent Ukrainians are paying for his ego with their lives, homes, and businesses. :(

@@tgazhn9295 I know Russia tried to join NATO, but that's was the whole point of NATO - to protect smaller countries from the might of Russia after WWII. And they had good reason after it gobbled up surrounding countries. It was seen as a threat, and not unjustified with the likes of Lenin and then Stalin killing off, what was it, 20 million of their own people? Don't get me wrong, I know Russia fared worse in WWII than any other country. But I don't think any right thinking person believes for one minute that NATO, let alone Ukraine, had ANY thoughts of invading Russia.
@@tgazhn9295 I think you may have misunderstood. I was talking about before WWII, and after. Life in Russia was brutal under Stalin, and worse under Lenin. The point is, Russia liberated many countries in WWII, but then stayed and imposed their regime on them. As for forgiving other countries for atrocities, the worst offender was of course Germany, followed by Japan, but look at where they are today. Only just now, because of Putin, Germany has for the first time since WWII deployed, or supplied, arms to a foreign country. Sweden and Finland, who were opposed to joining NATO, are now joining. Putin aggression towards Ukraine is not only destroying parts of Ukraine, but this is, and will for some time, cause serious problems for other countries in ways such as food supply. Putin doesn't care about that though. Anyway, nothing I say will change your mind, and vice versa, so have a nice day.
Looks like u don’t understand what the reality is … sounds like u watch too much of the western media if you believe that Russia is loosing or not doing well…. About NATO, if nobody wants to evade Russia, why the hell they keep expanding NATO and been weaponising Ukraine since early 2000s ? Influenced their education system and providing military supervision etc? Just because what?they want to help Russia by creating problems on Russian borders? Do you know that NATO spy planes kept flying around Russian late 1990s almost everyday they cross Russian air space…so they did it because they can’t fly along their strict border lines?
It is amazing to me after watching many such videos,how many Russians believe that Russia can destroy all of their enemies with Nuclear weapons and only Russia will survive. Do they not understand radiation,fall out,nuclear winter?I for one would not want to survive,it will be a living hell.I pray for world peace,and that nobody will ever have to live in this scenario.
# Ryan Bruner Well said! This is the important point for us all to remember: that there are no winners in a nuclear exchange (God forbid!). I think many Russians think that as the most extensive country on Earth they are somehow well placed to survive a nuclear war, whereas Western countries like Britain would be utterly destroyed. This may be true but is a highly fallacious line of reasoning. If the Kremlin hit London and , say, Helsinki. at what cost would that be? - St Petersburg and Moscow would be destroyed! What use all those steppes then? So Russia survives! So what? It won't help Russia's historic centres of civilization having the Russian Federation stuck out in Siberia. Better to calm down, get over the post Soviet paranoia and join the community of nations. Russia can thrive there. Let's have peace. Russian oligarchs send their children to our Western schools and universities (Lavrov's step daughter graduated from a British university!) In their hearts Russians must know that this policy of nuclear confrontation is just wrong headed. Peace to the lovely people of Russia. And peace for Ukraine!
These are young Millenials, or "Woke" Russians. Many of them Followers of Alexei Navalny, who's in Prison for his opposition to Corruption and desire to create a Democracy. See his 60 Minute Interview with Leslie Stahl.
these people clearly said they're not politicians. Why would you ask politics to someone to doesn't know about it? Its like if you ask someone who is not a doctor how to cure a disease lol These people are not aware of the dangers that are upon their country! When you have people like Richard Black and Douglas Macgregor who are ex us marine and us army coronels, respectively, say Russia had no option, say NATO shouldnt exist because it is the worlds biggest threat to world peace, but yea, they know more than the coronels lol
Very brave Russians. These are the views of simple people caught up in the situation who have more wisdom then their leaders. NATO needs to sit down with Putin to sort this matter out. Old men make decisions to fight, young men fight and lose their lives. This madness must stop now.
These videos are a great help to remind everyone that Russia is more than it's military, Putin and the forigen ministery. From what has been shown these last few months, it seems there are plenty of ordinary Russians out there that would be much better candidates for diplomates than the official ones that are active today.
@@ОльгаБредлер Following the Maidan events from November 2013 to February 2014 that resulted in the departure of P resident Viktor Yanukovych and the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation,23 in early April 2014, groups of armed people began to seize government buildings across Donetsk and Luhansk regions. After gaining control over some settlements, these armed groups proclaimed the creation of the ‘Donetsk people’s republic’ and ‘Luhansk people’s republic’. On 11 May 2014, both self-proclaimed ‘republics’ held referendums to validate their ‘acts of independence’. On 27 February 2014, uniformed men without insignia took control of the Parliament of Crimea, which immediately dismissed the Government of Crimea. On 11 March 2014, the Parliaments of Crimea and Sevastopol adopted a joint Declaration of Independence, which united the entities to form the “Republic of Crimea”. Following a referendum on 16 March 2014 on the question of whether to seek integration into the Russian Federation, on 18 March 2014, the Russian Federation and the “Republic of Crimea” signed a “treaty of accession” effectively annexing the peninsula into the Russian Federation. The United Nations General Assembly declared the referendum invalid, underscoring that it could not form the basis for any alteration of the status of Crimea, and reaffirmed the sovereignty unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders (Resolution 68/262 of 27 March 2014). For more information concerning the context of the occupation of Crimea, see OHCHR, Report on the situation of human rights in the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine), paras. 20-28. For the issue of effective control over Crimea and legal analysis of the conduct of Russian military forces in Crimea, see European Court of Human Rights, Ukraine v. Russia (re Crimea), Decision (Grand Chamber), 16 December 2020, paras. 315-34 Very interested publication specially from page 12 "OHCHR estimates that from mid-April 2014 until 3 0 April 2021, armed groups and other actors of self-proclaimed ‘republics’ have detained from 4,300 to 4,700 individuals in the context of the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine."
Yeah, why would NATO want to attack Russia, what would we gain, nothing, that has nothing to do with being afraid, we keep hearing russians talk like they could destroy everything, forgetting the same would happen in retaliation if they were to attack NATO with either conventional weapons or nuclear, they live in lalala land, we have already seen how poor their army is, they can't even be considered a regional power anymore. Even putin himself has stated they would lose if they were to fight NATO directly.
Well the threat of a nuclear war scares both sides. Don't be fooled NATO and Russia have about the same amount of nukes and can only stop about 50%. By the end of it both sides would be obliterated and other countries like China and India would probably take our land. Not really something Russia or the US wants.
Nato is there to stop what Ukraine is now going through Finland and Sweden realise this and wanting to join Russias attack on Ukraine has made Nato stronger much stronger Finland has 200.000 army personel
The people who say we can't ever know the truth, we don't know what's really happening, have been indoctrinated into denying that an objective reality exists, the man on the bench and the young boy speaking their mind was incredibly brave.
What they mean is we cannot know what the deep reasons are, like who orchestrated all this war, who is benefiting from it, financially, economically and such. I mean, do you think you know what's happening beside the binary "russia attacked so russia is bad" which is oversimplification? The boy is just immature and gives a show, how tough he is.

The "Loan Lease" that the US just gave Ukraine, do the Russian people know who else the US have given this to before? It was Russia in WWII, we sent Russia over 35% of all the weapons you used, all the ammo, all the machines of war, all the medicines- we did that for you, are ally at the time. Should never forget what we did for you.
You are funny man . Yes usa and ussr were allies but only bc they have to defeat nazis together. Do you think usa give weapons for "just helping" policy or you think that usa could have defeat Germany alone?
You yankie should be silent. After nuclear bombs om Hiroshima, Nagasaki, after your aggressions and invasions on Yugoslavia, Yemen, Syria, Lybia... wherever you are there is a problem and war. S I L E N C E yank. You better stay away from Europe and the world and focus on playing baseball or whatever you do over there in Us.
What you see here is relatively affluent, educated Russians in a major city..Opinions may differ in a smaller provincial town... Not really a criticism of Russia, most countries are the same.
Everybody should be able to say their opinion and criticism, but it has to be with a good reason, in a constructive manner. That helps to have less conflicts, better relationships and to improve whichever situation.
Politics and political leadership affect virtually everything in your life, so the guy who says he doesn't involve himself in politics is just ignorant, and frankly, part of the problem.

For a counter video, it would be very interesting to hear what the people that live in remote villages think of NATO. It seems in Russia, as in most countries, the well-to-do and educated population are more open-minded and realistic whereas the rural population tends to believe more falsehoods from the state. For the record, Nato is not afraid of Russia, they are afraid of the nukes.
......for the record....do we think that their nuclear capabilities are any better than the military equipment and tactics we have seen so far ?? An attempt at a nuclear launch - that failed miserably - would be the total end of an already weak Russian state. If they think that going nuclear is their last resort....and it fails.....then what ?? .... break out the sticks and stones ?? I think that they are full of sh!t......
American congress just passed a bill to help Ukraine today. That bill is $40 billion dollars helping Ukraine in military, economy, refugees, etc... even paying Ukraine's government employees and soldiers salary. What country on earth gives too much money? Only America is so generous to give that much amount of money. Japan gives loan. No free money. May be $100 million.
If you add up all the Military strengths between Russia China and India against NATO. You will find in most categories NATO is still dominant except for a few shortcomings
I wish we had more people here in Canada that had understanding like some of your interviewees. To understand and know that you cannot trust the news or your government regardless of where you are from, and know that they never have your best interests in mind. What you hear and what actually happens are two different things. I think in the end we just need to understand modern politics is extremely toxic and we need to find a way to fix it. All while keeping corporations out of the back pocket of politics. Harder done than said I know...
Why do you assume that all governments are mad? Russians have no control over their government, they can't vote Putin out, elections are rigged and you can't use the courts and rule of law to defend yourself from the Russian government, as there is no rule of law. You can't compare the situation of people living in Russia and that of citizens of functional democracies like Australia, Germany, the UK, USA and most EU members.
it’s weird the inconsistencies in any country. In many countries, the centre’s security would instantly throw you out for not having permission to film / interview. In Russia, on the one hand you can’t hold up a blank sheet of paper, but on the other hand you can do things like this.

Most of them make the point that they don’t dare speak frankly. I would say this would have Putin foaming at the mouth.

Многие русские любят говорить что НАТО приближается к границем России. Но не понимают что Россия не уважает маленькие страны типа Литва, Латвия, Эстония, Болгария, Польша, Грузия и другие. Эти страны не имеют никакой защиты против России, и именно из-за этого они рвутся к НАТО чтобы не попасть под оккупацию России. Веть практика показывает что Россия хотела бы завоевать эти страны. После развала СССР, русские напали дважды на Чечню, Грузия, Азербайджан, Осетия, и Абхазия,Молдова. Сегодня Украина попала на такой капкан как и другие страны что написал. Многие нехотят жить вместе с РФ и эта надо понимать. Потому что Россия как самая большая страна где самые большие природные ресурсы занимает все лишь 2 процента экономики мира. Наживаются не большая групировка всем богатством страны. Воровство и нищета ввезде. Республика Якутия, самый большой регион России, там очень много ресурсов, но местные живут довольно плохо так как вывозят оттуда все что могут Москвичи. Эта разве справедливо?
Strange they are completely clueless that Ukraine is claiming a piece of Russian territory (Crimea) while at the same time seeking support from NATO. I live in Canada and apparently I know a lot more about what's going on in Donbas, what went on in 2014, the threat of getting Russia out of Crimea and the problem that will cause for them
It seems like you know a lot of Russian propaganda; as far as knowledge of reality, that’s something you clearly lack. Either the propaganda from fringe elements in your society or a complete ineptitude in differentiating between real and fiction has shaped your troglodytic opinion. Especially when it’s more than clear that even numerous Russian youth are capable of seeing the truth regardless of the fantastical Russian propagandist claims you seem to have been so easily indoctrinated by. Additionally, saying something is yours after you forcefully take it claiming historical ownership of something that’s been historically owned by many non-Russians for longer periods of time and prior to any Russian tsar it’s conquest. Sadly, you’re likely one of those Canadian-nationalist or fringe conspiracy theorist supporters who regurgitates whatever fits the current narrative you’re spew out.
I support NATO's intervention in Kosovo. There were many interviews from international observers on the ground, many disucssions and they concluded it was time to stop the Serbs' genocide. Full support. What I do not support are unilateral actions by the US and Brits for example in Iraq. That is, however, not NATO's doing.
While the Iraq War was a mistake, it's not even remotely comparable to the invasion of Ukraine. That has to be stressed. Under Saddam, Iraq had been developing different kinds of WMDs for decades (biological, chemical and nuclear). He dismantled those programs under UN sanctions. Then he stopped cooperating with the UN inspectors and there was uncertainty as to why.
@@pawelstuglik4737 An illegal war is an illegal war. Whether the US attacked after lies about existing WMD in Iraq or Putin lies about a Nazi-government in Ukraine, I fail to see how these wars are "not even remotely comparable".
@@pawelstuglik4737 You're partially right, in the sense it was not a mistake, as I said, there has been a fraud goin' on.....ask Tony Blair. Anyway, I agree on the fact that Ukraine case is utterly different.

I love this video. It's amazing how the people in this video can see through the propaganda. Russians in general do not deserve to be tarred by the brush deserved to Putin. Love to them, to Russia but of course also to the Ukrainians.
smart guys? funny) if Nato wasn't a threat, Russia would have been allowed to join. by the way, NATO was created for the confrontation of Russia(soviet union but who cares). russia needs smart people, just like any other country, but it's definitely not these guys.
@@mikhaildoronin1331 Yes, NATO has been established to keep Soviet Union away from democratic countries and stop its imperialistic goals. It is defensive organization, so if RU wouldn't want to seek its goals by attacking, occupying another countries NATO wouldn't be threat for them. So, if you agree that RU is willing to expand its borders while occupying sovereign countries then yes, NATO is threat for RU. If RU do not have such goals, then the threat is artificial in order to manage society by fear of common enemy. When everyone believes that there is an enemy nobody complains why there is no roads, no plumbing in houses, poor education, low wages etc. In all those questions there is one answer, the country need all money for bigger and stronger army. And there with such high corruption those crazy amount of money do not even reach army. It is crazy how fu*ked up RU is.
@@ZhylvisLT thanks for your pasta. this is some kind of "cri de coeur?)

I believe that every country pursues its own vile goals. and it's terrible. Peace be with you, man
@@mikhaildoronin1331 I do not try to change your perception, you are raised in fear of NATO, so you can not reprogram your mind. I just will add one things.

There are countries with their will to join, not vise-versa.

"If we evaluate our history, we almost never lose" said one of the interviewees... This is one of the biggest mistakes in the evaluation of the generality of the Russian people in relation to their own history. Since the victories and conquests, at least since the foundation of the USSR, NEVER WERE IN FAVOR OF THE PEOPLE, but AGAINST THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE; not only in terms of the equality of rights and duties of those who govern and those who are governed, but also in relation to the freedom to be and to be.
They are legends in their own minds.
Also, when you have a government that rewrites history at will, you can always be victorious.

I understand Russian desire for buffer States between Russia and NATO, but there is an alternative. Forget paranoia, and learn to live in peace with neighbours, within secure borders.
They had the chance to join NATO, but they didn't ask for an invitation. Its all made up by Putler.

True, but how much critical thinking does it really take to come to the conclusion, as at 3:30, that if NATO wanted to attack Russia, it would have already done so.
@@ФреддиКрюгер-й1н Maybe some brave, but others desparate for the money. They were recruited from some of the poorest areas in Russia. They were farmers and workers from industrial plants and many who weren't employed at all. They had no idea what they were headed to. They weren't told that this Special mission included dying, now more than 20,000 Russian soldier lie dead in a country they didn't want to be in in the first place. Many called home crying to their mothers because they were afraid. That didn't make them cowards by any means. They were brave, braver than most I'd say. Brave enough to admit they were scared and wanted to go home. They were all young and didn't want to die but Putin obsession to conquer Ukraine has cost many a young man's lives. My heart just breaks for those who are already dead and those who soon will be. They didn't deserve this. Neither do the Russian people... even those too ignorant and blind that they beleive everything the government tells them. Because soon, every Russian will feel the pinch of poverty. And Putin will continue to take young men from their jobs, homes and families to continue this madness without a care in the world as to how many are just canon fodder.
Some brave people here. Nato is absolutely not interested in war with Russia. After the invasion of Ukraine Russia's neighbours are taking rational steps to protect themselves by joining Nato. It is an insurance policy that's all. Thank you for this illuminating video! (from London)

Why would NATO want Russia anyway....Other than its resources, it is a failed state.
NATO is a warmonger. They promised they wouldn't expand. Even Pope Francis said it himself

Only just now, because of Putin, Germany has for the first time since WWII deployed, or supplied, arms to a foreign country. Sweden and Finland, who were opposed to joining NATO, are now joining. Putin aggression towards Ukraine is not only destroying parts of Ukraine, but this is, and will for some time, cause serious problems for other countries in ways such as food supply. Putin doesn't care about that though. Anyway, nothing I say will change your mind, and vice versa, so have a nice day.
Looks like u don’t understand what the reality is … sounds like u watch too much of the western media if you believe that Russia is loosing or not doing well…. About NATO, if nobody wants to evade Russia, why the hell they keep expanding NATO and been weaponising Ukraine since early 2000s ? Influenced their education system and providing military supervision etc? Just because what?they want to help Russia by creating problems on Russian borders? Do you know that NATO spy planes kept flying around Russian late 1990s almost everyday they cross Russian air space…so they did it because they can’t fly along their strict border lines?
It is amazing to me after watching many such videos,how many Russians believe that Russia can destroy all of their enemies with Nuclear weapons and only Russia will survive.

# Ryan Bruner Well said! This is the important point for us all to remember: that there are no winners in a nuclear exchange (God forbid!). I think many Russians think that as the most extensive country on Earth they are somehow well placed to survive a nuclear war, whereas Western countries like Britain would be utterly destroyed. This may be true but is a highly fallacious line of reasoning. If the Kremlin hit London and , say, Helsinki. at what cost would that be? - St Petersburg and Moscow would be destroyed! What use all those steppes then? So Russia survives! So what? It won't help Russia's historic centres of civilization having the Russian Federation stuck out in Siberia. Better to calm down, get over the post Soviet paranoia and join the community of nations. Russia can thrive there. Let's have peace. Russian oligarchs send their children to our Western schools and universities (Lavrov's step daughter graduated from a British university!) In their hearts Russians must know that this policy of nuclear confrontation is just wrong headed. Peace to the lovely people of Russia. And peace for Ukraine!

resulted in the departure of P resident Viktor Yanukovych and the occupation of
Crimea by the Russian Federation,23 in early April 2014, groups of armed people
began to seize government buildings across Donetsk and Luhansk regions. After

Parliaments of Crimea and Sevastopol adopted a joint Declaration of Independence, which
united the entities to form the “Republic of Crimea”. Following a referendum on 16 March
2014 on the question of whether to seek integration into the Russian Federation, on 18 March
2014, the Russian Federation and the “Republic of Crimea” signed a “treaty of accession”
effectively annexing the peninsula into the Russian Federation. The United Nations General
Assembly declared the referendum invalid, underscoring that it could not form the basis for
any alteration of the status of Crimea, and reaffirmed the sovereignty unity and territorial

NATO does not want to attack, but it is not afraid. We don't want war just the same. Spread love🤗
Yeah, why would NATO want to attack Russia, what would we gain, nothing, that has nothing to do with being afraid, we keep hearing russians talk like they could destroy everything, forgetting the same would happen in retaliation if they were to attack NATO with either conventional weapons or nuclear, they live in lalala land, we have already seen how poor their army is, they can't even be considered a regional power anymore. Even putin himself has stated they would lose if they were to fight NATO directly.

@@michaelnjensen Putin is bluffing to cause disruption in the states citizens trust in their government. Which would cause unrest. War games.
Well the threat of a nuclear war scares both sides. Don't be fooled NATO and Russia have about the same amount of nukes and can only stop about 50%. By the end of it both sides would be obliterated and other countries like China and India would probably take our land. Not really something Russia or the US wants.
Nato is there to stop what Ukraine is now going through Finland and Sweden realise this and wanting to join Russias attack on Ukraine has made Nato stronger much stronger Finland has 200.000 army personel

The first question to ask these people is surely do they know what NATO is or what they understand it is.
It's doubtful more than 1% of Russians do.
Look how many in this video don't understand Mutual Assured Destruction.
The young people in the interview seem to have a healthier mindset than their elders
"Just big men pursuing their own interests" all over the world and at any time in recorded history that has been the one truth.
The people who say we can't ever know the truth, we don't know what's really happening, have been indoctrinated into denying that an objective reality exists, the man on the bench and the young boy speaking their mind was incredibly brave.
What they mean is we cannot know what the deep reasons are, like who orchestrated all this war, who is benefiting from it, financially, economically and such. I mean, do you think you know what's happening beside the binary "russia attacked so russia is bad" which is oversimplification?
The boy is just immature and gives a show, how tough he is.
...and you know the truth?

So good to see there are many smart russian people. and honestly i believed that before see this video. let us, the people, be friends, lets solve this difficult crisis. greetings from germany.
Excellent interviews. Good questions and fairly complete answers. Some of the answers seem guarded; But under the circumstances, why not?
For a counter video, it would be very interesting to hear what the people that live in remote villages think of NATO. It seems in Russia, as in most countries, the well-to-do and educated population are more open-minded and realistic whereas the rural population tends to believe more falsehoods from the state.
For the record, Nato is not afraid of Russia, they are afraid of the nukes.
💯
......for the record....do we think that their nuclear capabilities are any better than the military equipment and tactics we have seen so far ??
An attempt at a nuclear launch - that failed miserably - would be the total end of an already weak Russian state. If they think that going
nuclear is their last resort....and it fails.....then what ?? .... break out the sticks and stones ?? I think that they are full of sh!t......
People in remote villages wont av heard of NATO Russian TV does everything it can from showing these people how real people live in the west
It is the same in most countries. Less educated people are more prone to fall for official propaganda.
Some Russians don't realise that without Nukes Russia is no match for Nato.
American congress just passed a bill to help Ukraine today. That bill is $40 billion dollars helping Ukraine in military, economy, refugees, etc... even paying Ukraine's government employees and soldiers salary. What country on earth gives too much money? Only America is so generous to give that much amount of money. Japan gives loan. No free money. May be $100 million.
To be honest here I m neither a supporter of NATO nor Russia ,but Russia can't defeat NATO .Regards from Northeast India
If you add up all the Military strengths between Russia China and India against NATO. You will find in most categories NATO is still dominant except for a few shortcomings
Ask Russians what do they think of themselves.
I wish we had more people here in Canada that had understanding like some of your interviewees. To understand and know that you cannot trust the news or your government regardless of where you are from, and know that they never have your best interests in mind. What you hear and what actually happens are two different things. I think in the end we just need to understand modern politics is extremely toxic and we need to find a way to fix it. All while keeping corporations out of the back pocket of politics. Harder done than said I know...
Nato isn't afraid, but only sane.
That young Russian lady is spot on for all peoples on earth. No citizen can control the madness of our governments.
its kids killing, raping, murdering for sport darren from Assie land
Why do you assume that all governments are mad? Russians have no control over their government, they can't vote Putin out, elections are rigged and you can't use the courts and rule of law to defend yourself from the Russian government, as there is no rule of law. You can't compare the situation of people living in Russia and that of citizens of functional democracies like Australia, Germany, the UK, USA and most EU members.
Nonsense. Obama for instance won over McCain who wanted to bomb Iran. It is an infantile way for her to evade responsibility.

Most of them make the point that they don’t dare speak frankly. I would say this would have Putin foaming at the mouth.
Some of the people were kindly about what they perceived and a few others were the type of idiots that would be fed into the Ukrainian meat grinder .

Mature Russians…..as usual. The pain we are putting them through is totally insane. Citizens should not pay for the disagreements and power struggles between powerful politicians or economic interests. Peace and diplomacy is the only civil way to resolve difficult differences.
I have worked with Russian people and they are fair and helpful people. It is trully a shame this war was waged. Business is better than war.

В конце 1998 - начале 1999 года насилие в Югославии обострилось без какой-либо реакции со стороны ООН. Из-за этой нерешительности Контактная группа НАТО начала переговоры со сторонами 6 февраля 1999 года в Рамбуйе, Франция. Соглашение было достигнуто 19 марта 1999 г., но сразу же было отвергнуто Югославией. Поскольку югославское насилие в Косово усилилось, тогдашний генеральный секретарь НАТО лорд Джордж Робертсон предложил Североатлантическому совету активировать операцию Allied Force. 23 марта 1999 года Североатлантический совет одобрил операцию Allied Force, и в ту же ночь были совершены первые воздушные налеты.
Действия операции НАТО Allied Force включали следующие цели:
Положить конец всему насилию и репрессиям в Косово посредством воздушные действия против всех военизированных целей.
Обеспечить вывод всех сербских вооруженных сил, полиции и военизированных формирований из Косово.
Обеспечить соблюдение соглашения о размещении международных вооруженных сил в Косово.
Обеспечение безопасного возвращения всех беженцев и предоставление беспрепятственной гуманитарной помощи.
Принудить Сербию принять Соглашение Рамбуйе в качестве основы для политического соглашения по Косово.
Многие русские любят говорить что НАТО приближается к границем России. Но не понимают что Россия не уважает маленькие страны типа Литва, Латвия, Эстония, Болгария, Польша, Грузия и другие. Эти страны не имеют никакой защиты против России, и именно из-за этого они рвутся к НАТО чтобы не попасть под оккупацию России. Веть практика показывает что Россия хотела бы завоевать эти страны. После развала СССР, русские напали дважды на Чечню, Грузия, Азербайджан, Осетия, и Абхазия,Молдова.
Сегодня Украина попала на такой капкан как и другие страны что написал. Многие нехотят жить вместе с РФ и эта надо понимать.

It seems like you know a lot of Russian propaganda; as far as knowledge of reality, that’s something you clearly lack. Either the propaganda from fringe elements in your society or a complete ineptitude in differentiating between real and fiction has shaped your troglodytic opinion. Especially when it’s more than clear that even numerous Russian youth are capable of seeing the truth regardless of the fantastical Russian propagandist claims you seem to have been so easily indoctrinated by. Additionally, saying something is yours after you forcefully take it claiming historical ownership of something that’s been historically owned by many non-Russians for longer periods of time and prior to any Russian tsar it’s conquest. Sadly, you’re likely one of those Canadian-nationalist or fringe conspiracy theorist supporters who regurgitates whatever fits the current narrative you’re spew out.
Very brave and highly intelligent impressed
I support NATO's intervention in Kosovo. There were many interviews from international observers on the ground, many disucssions and they concluded it was time to stop the Serbs' genocide. Full support. What I do not support are unilateral actions by the US and Brits for example in Iraq. That is, however, not NATO's doing.
Damn straight. Those wars were as unjust as this one.
While the Iraq War was a mistake, it's not even remotely comparable to the invasion of Ukraine. That has to be stressed. Under Saddam, Iraq had been developing different kinds of WMDs for decades (biological, chemical and nuclear). He dismantled those programs under UN sanctions. Then he stopped cooperating with the UN inspectors and there was uncertainty as to why.
@@pawelstuglik4737 An illegal war is an illegal war. Whether the US attacked after lies about existing WMD in Iraq or Putin lies about a Nazi-government in Ukraine, I fail to see how these wars are "not even remotely comparable".

@@pawelstuglik4737 You're partially right, in the sense it was not a mistake, as I said, there has been a fraud goin' on.....ask Tony Blair. Anyway, I agree on the fact that Ukraine case is utterly different.

If RU do not have such goals, then the threat is artificial in order to manage society by fear of common enemy. When everyone believes that there is an enemy nobody complains why there is no roads, no plumbing in houses, poor education, low wages etc. In all those questions there is one answer, the country need all money for bigger and stronger army.
