Wishing you both the best. You are both very talented people. I'm certain that whatever happens in Russia, you'll survive and do well. I'm certain that your love will endure also until the end. You are two wonderful people and examples of kindness and righteousness in your country. You are the type of people that I believe in in Russia.
Dear Max and Julia, I've always found your channel the most accessible and valuable for learning Russian. I understand both of you will have a tough time going forward. Best of luck with the hardships. And thanks for not supporting or downplaying the terrible things happening. Have a good day! Christiaan
Max, Yulia I rarely comment on TH-cam but I want to say that my heart is with you and all the people that are suffering this situation. I really love russian culture, language, cities... I always enjoy your channel and I've been following you since 2019 or 2020 when I started to learn russian. Thanks for all your videos. I will continue here, learning and supporting you guys. Wishing you the best!!! Stay strong!
I have been watching you both around 3 years now. You've helped me so much develop my russian with your incredible videos. Thank you so much. I wish nothing but the best for you and am certain that you will keep going no matter what. You are so strong I can't imagine being in a situation like this. Love from Canada
I have been watching your videos for around one year and I love them. And I love you for how brave you are being in shooting this one. Stay strong, I wish you the best. Saverio from Florence, Italy
Max and Yulia, I'm glad to see that you are safe and well, for the moment at least! Your comments are very thoughtful. They help me understand this tragedy better. I want you both to flourish wherever you are. You are welcome to North Carolina, if being here suits you. I look forward to your podcasts; they are superb--the best. And they are a wonderful way to learn Russian as well as learn about Russia.
Dear Yulia & Max: everytime I hear that more sanctions will be imposed on Russia I can't help feeling sorrow for you. 😢😢 I wish you the best of luck!!! Take good care of yourselves 💜💜💜
We subscribers love you guys so much, Max and Yulia. I am praying for peace and everyone this has affected in many different ways. It's horrible beyond belief.
hi Max and Julia, I will listen carefully to your video tomorrow. I can only say that as of now insanity is ruling Russia and I feel so sorry for sensible people like you.
I'm from Serbia and I know what are you going through, as well as Ukrainians. We had sanctions in Serbia and we in Bosnia (I'm Bosnian Serb who refugeed to Serbia during the Bosnian war ) had war. So everything I can say is you will survive, and keep your common sense. Keep your own truth in your hearts. You shell overcome. And keep your pride as well. You didn't want this war and you are still great nation. And you will be even better. Слава России! Слава Украине! Вы братья! Нет войне!
Just here to say: Russian with Max is such a great channel with a great couple behind it - a beautiful example of what Russia can offer, in stead of nihilist destruction. I learned so much from the videos. Can’t thank you enough. Юля -эти ногти..синее небо, золотые поля: мы будем их снова увидеть?
Max and Julia, thanks so much for this update, and for sharing your views with us. Will continue to support your project no matter what - really hope you guys can find a way forward and continue to help Russian learners around the world!
Для меня было облегчением узнать что вы оба в порядке, было действительно грустно видеть как мой учебный процесс затуманен этой бессмысленной политической игрой. тем более что у меня есть друг из питере и у него проблемы с интернетом а не могу общаться с ним ;__; у него тоже есть друзья в украине, довольно неудачное время для контакта с русской культурой. нормальные человек стремятся только к спокойной жизни со своими друзьями и со своей культурой, со своими повседневными проблемами, к сожалению над нами хотят играть в войну. Спасибо Макс, за дал мне знать что ты в порядке) буду продолжать учить русский язык, это моя зона комфорта 👋
Dear Max and Yulia, I've been following your channel for a couple of years already. Your videos have been very helpful to me to learn russian even though I prefer writing this message in english because I don't have the enough amount of fluency in russian to express myself correctly. 😅 I'm so glad that you are safe and well and even though here in Italy (but I guess it's the same in many other countries outside Russia) many people are against Russia, you are the living proof that any generalization is absolutely wrong. Being against the decisions of a government doesn't mean being against (or hate) its entire population. I send you a very big hug hoping that all this madness may come to an end quickly and that the situation can return to normal as soon as possibile. Stay safe my friends! 🙏
I am going to write in English as I am short of time.. I understood Yulia's thoughts very well - I also thought about this from the very beginning of the war, when (quite understandably) there was a very emotional reaction among the people in the west and in Poland for example (I live in the UK, but I am Polish), including some of my Polish friends - a reaction saying that 'all Russians are to blame, that there has always been something wrong with them, that all of them have imperial inclinations etc, and all that bullshit. This clearly shows a lot of people, most of them, think Russia is a homogenic territory, they do not understand how diverse it is in terms of its peoples, opinions, age groups, political inclinations etc, they do not understand its complexity, history, including the modern one, the challenges people who are against the government face etc. Most of these people have never been to Russia, never tried to understand it and its people better, and base their opinions on their feelings, what their family members told them about the 2nd world war (for example in Poland) etc. But they fail to see that there are millions of people, who are against the propaganda in Russia, against the government but their hands are tight and options to change something are very limited due to obvious reasons (being arrested, losing your job, being called a traitor, or even being killed). I totally agree it is easy to complain by someone sitting in their home in the west, being safe and having right to protest, that the Russians do not go to the streets and protests as they should to topple Putin's regime, and their opinion would be much different if they spent some time in Russia trying to understand the reality there. It has not been happening overnight, I agree, and maybe there was a moment the Russian people could have stopped Putin earlier, but personally I doubt it - the propaganda has been in operation for years, and despite heroic attempts (for example Navalny, or many other journalists in the past, like the journalists of Novaya Gazeta etc), the government has always been able to find a way to simply squash these attempts, to nip them in the bud). Maybe the geography of Russia is a problem? Maybe it is too big to get people together to protest against the government? Maybe it is to simply impossible to motivate so many different peoples with different ideas, ethnicities, a few thousands kms from Moscow to actually do something and go out and protest? I agree most of the people in Russia from the Russian glubinka live very poor, simple lives, with no skills to reason, to triangulate and check the information they get, they are very gaullible and believe what the federal media tell them. But there are definitely millions of Russians across the whole country who do not agree with what is happening, have never been agreeing, maybe half of the population, or maybe +-30%, it is difficult to know how many, but still it is millions of people, like you guys, who need our support, as what you do is heroic. I always try to educate my friends and family that we should not reduce the whole country with its whole population to what Kremlin is doing. And even if majority of Russians are now brainwashed, it needs to be recognized that other millions are in a very difficult situation as everyone is against them in their own country and on top of that people abroad are forgetting about them, too. Stay strong!
very sensible comment. It's a relieve to read it, thank you. Knowing Russian, I get access to many comments of hatred. I can undestand when they come from people who are being bombed, their emotions of fear and rage are taking over and I don't think I would be doing any better in their situation, but other nations? No, it's not ok.
The little about the history of the conflict , it is better since 1991 , but it will be enough from 2014 . When the Nazis , with the total support of the United States , committed a bloody coup and overthrew the legitimate President Yanukovych ., they immediately banned the Russian language .Donbass (a region close to Russia and populated by a Russian-speaking population) spoke out against , they voted for independence. Ukraine unleashed a bloody war in the Donbas, where 13 thousand civilians were killed. Type in the search for the Madonna of Donbass ! Zelenskiy defeated Poroshenko in the 2018 elections with 75% support from Ukrainians, promising to restore peace in the Donbas by any means and restore good relations with Russia, his main economic partner. At the time of the election, more than 50% of Ukrainians were in favor of restoring good relations with Russia. In many cities of Ukraine, Ukrainians supported the Russian team on football at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. And now, after 3 months, the policy of Zelensky, who has been on visits to many Western countries, is changing dramatically. And everyone's favorite humorist Zelensky gradually turns into Porosheko over the course of the year. Why ? Because both Poroshenko and Zelensky are most worried about their offshore accounts and are afraid of nationalists. Zelensky officially bans the Russian language throughout Ukraine, and control and penal services have been created that allow fines, including ordinary sellers and doctors who speak Russian. With the consent of the ambassadors of Western countries, he closed 3 TV channels that traditionally promote peace and restore relations with Russia. And now Zelensky has brought disaster to the whole of Ukraine. For 8 years now, Russia has been demanding the implementation of the Minsk agreements, which provided for the return of Donbass to Ukarina on the terms of amending the constitution with the federal status of Donbass and the possibility of electing a government, police and preserving the original Russian language. schools and the opportunity to communicate in Russian everywhere. In 2014, the Ukrainian army killed 13,000 civilians in the Donbass, but in the end suffered a complete defeat. Russia in 2104 could easily conquer Ukraine in a matter of days, but did not. It was Russia that forced the leaders of Donbass (I repeat the leaders of Donbass, not Ukraine) to sit down with Poroshenko and sign the Minsk agreements, which many in Russia considered treacherous. Even then, Donbass demanded that Russia recognize its independence. But Russia then did not take this step and gave Ukarina a chance. For eight years, Poroshenko and Zelensky shied away from implementing the Minsk agreements. And already this year, Zelensky and members of his government openly admitted that they were not going to fulfill these agreements. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine on open air called Donbass a cancerous tumor on the body of Ukraine. In January, under pressure from the United States and Britain, Zelensky escalated and moved troops to the line of demarcation with Donbass, as well as multiple launch rocket systems and large-caliber artillery (which is expressly prohibited by the Minsk agreements). Russia also pulled its troops to the Ukrainian border. Biden, Boris, and the Western media raised the cry for a Russian invasion precisely on the basis of what had been scripted ahead of time for Zelensky. Zelensky had to initiate an escalation of the conflict, at first he avoided it, then he was forced and the Ukrainian army began intensive shelling of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. Residents of Donbass found themselves again in 2014, when there were numerous casualties among the civilian population. It was the Ukrainian army, stuffed with Western weapons and instigated by the West, that unleashed the conflict. Of course, Russia was forced to react. And Russia responded. From the very beginning, the United States and Great Britain aspired to this scenario in order to accuse Russia of aggression and the imposition of sanctions. At the same time, what will happen to Ukraine does not concern them. The enemy has taken place, now Biden and Boris will unite their countries within and unite the collective West and tear Europe away from Russia.
No one will put you in jail for speaking out against a military operation. You can be prosecuted for libel and denigration of the army. You can tell the truth about failures or what you think about events and nothing will happen to you. But if you invent or repeat the lies spread by the Ukrainian media and the authorities about the numerous rapes of women and even children, then yes, you can be prosecuted. The West was shamefully silent about 8 years of shelling, tyranny and murders in the Donbass. In 2014, Ukraine lost but signed the Minsk Agreements registered with the UN. It is also very important to understand that Germany and France are the guarantors of the implementation of the Minsk agreements on the part of Ukarin, Russia acted as a guarantor on the part of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. In this situation, the United States and Britain encouraged Ukraine for 8 years to non-compliance with the Minsk agreements, and the guarantors of these agreements, Germany and France, not only did not fulfill their direct functions (to guarantee the implementation of the Minsk Agreements for Ukraine), but also shamefully turned a blind eye to numerous gross violations, murders, sabotage and terrorism such as the assassination of DPR head Alexander Zakharchenko, who signed the Minsk Agreements with Poroshenko. The total actions of Western countries have led to complete impunity for the Zelensky regime. Moreover, the politicians of Germany and France very often supported the Ukrainian propaganda that it was the Russians shelling the Donbass. The ambassadors of the US and Britain openly supported the ban on the Russian language and the closure of oppositional pro-Russian channels. And of course the West completely ignored the neo-Nazi movement and groups, just because they were aimed against Russian and pro-Russian people, politicians. And in the end, Russia was left with no choice but to intervene. During these 8 years, there was not a single Western correspondent for a major publication in the Donbass. No one in the West knows the horrific events of May 2, 2104, when protesters were burned alive in Odessa, the massacre of the entire police department in Mariupol and many other crimes of the Ukrainian regime. 13 thousand victims of the Ukrainian regime, including 256 children, is a huge number for a region of about 3 million people. How if you scale to the USA it is 1 million 300 thousand victims and 25 thousand children. You must realize this. Europe and the USA could easily prevent the conflict, the authorities of Ukarina are the pet dog of the USA. But the United States has always encouraged the conflict situation in Ukraine, and the United States also refused to the demands of Russia to provide a guarantee that Ukarina would not join NATO. Therefore, in Russia the vast majority is on the side of the people of Donbass.
Dear Max and Julia, I sincerely thank you for your such casual and straightforward talks! I have many friends in Russia and some in Ukraine. I know you both are brothers and sisters, good friends each other. I really hope you both will soon hug and shake hands once again as you have simply been doing so!
Good morning Max and Yulia from Texas! I want to say never apologize for being Russian as the media has pushed alot of hate. I have many friends in Ukraine and Russia that I care about greatly however the same people that intentionally divided my country by race is now using Ukrainians and Russians as pawns. May God bless you both and keep you strong.
Max and Yulia, my heart is totally broken after watching this video. You are wonderful and positive people who help thousands of students through this channel (the best Russian resource on TH-cam, in my point of view). You really helped me to engage in the study of the language again. I hope this absurd situation will be over soon. During my life, I had the privilege of being in personal contact with many Russians and could not empathize enough how unfair is to blame the common people for what is happening. Wish you both all the best. Warm regards from Brazil!
Also, for those that think that Americans don't understand. Please remember Martin Luther King Jr. “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.” "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." "If only to save ourselves from bitterness, we need the vision to see the ordeals of this generation as an opportunity to transfigure ourselves and American society. Let us not fear going to jail. If the officials threaten to arrest us for standing up for our rights, we must answer by saying that we are willing and prepared to fill up the jails of the South. Maybe it will take this willingness to stay in jail to arouse the dozing conscience of our nation."
The world is falling apart, I'll save any political banter and just say that I learned a lot from your videos. I've even learned a lot from Ukrainians. My teacher is Ukrainian. I hope one day all of this will end and to visit both Russia and Ukraine. To experience the cultures, good people and especially the food. Whatever happens from here on out я желаю вам удачи.
Dear Julia and Max I have followed your programmes for the last three years or so, and find your materials very refreshing and engaging. Just two nice people, doing some positive things that bring people closer to each other by engaging with the Russian language and culture. I am really sorry that you are experiencing these difficulties at the moment. It is always the wrong people, who end up suffering…love what you are doing continue to wish you well. Frank, Birmingham, UK.
Макс и Юлия. Я обычно не комментирую на Ютубе, но я думаю, что этот видео было познавательно. Во времена плохой информатции важно, чтобы мы всё были информированы. Спасибо за видео и я надеюсь, что все будет хорошо.
Thanks for talking about it so openly, glad not everyone is too scared! I'm in Sochi and I have a good life here but now I'm worried that the economy might get much worse in the coming months and I'm obviously not happy with the political situation either. Might have to end up going back to England and that'd really be a shame. I hope some diplomacy can somehow save us but I doubt it ...
Of course regular Russians are not at fault for this war. So many people don't understand that this war is ultimately between the ruling classes of these countries, not ordinary citizens, even though it's ordinary citizens who get sent to do the fighting. Capitalism always has to expand profits - ultimately this means that capitalists (the big business owners) in any given country eventually must look outside their own country for more markets to enter, resources to extract, cheaper labor to exploit. With the ways the global economy has shifted in the past several years, NATO countries have increasing interest in controlling Eastern Europe, as do Russia and China, their main competitors. This is why international war happens under global capitalism -- the competition between the ruling classes of different countries eventually comes to blows as they seek to control other parts of the world. There is only so much pie and the capitalist classes of different countries are fighting to get bigger slices of it. It's so frustrating to see, at least here in the US, so many Americans, even the "progressives," falling for the blatant Russophobia that's being pushed, using "Russians" as if it's a synonym for "evil people" and acting like cheerleaders for the US, NATO, Ukrainian ruling class etc like any of them have the interests of regular people in Ukraine (or anywhere) at heart. Yes, _Ukraine's right to self determination is very important_, but NATO isn't really defending that, they're defending their own influence over Ukraine. And this conflict gives NATO an excuse to sabotage Russia's economy at the expense of ordinary people's lives, which once again is not because they care about the people of Ukraine, but because they want to destroy Russia as an international competitor in global capitalism. Regular people all over the world have to stop picking a "side" in these imperialist wars like we're picking a sports team and understand that none of these sides are fighting for _us_. We as working people have to organize together on an international scale to stop imperialist wars like these. Until we do they will keep popping up all over the world. It is the inevitable result of a global economy based on competition and exploitation. Max and Yulia, I wish you both health and safety. Love from the US.
I would like to add a point to the discussion on whether learning the Russian language makes sense in the current circumstances. This time I will not talk about motivation or anything like that. I am from Poland and here most people are doing what they can in order to help the Ukranian refugees. And ironically, people who speak Russian can help more. Those who speak both Polish and Russian can easily communicate with the Ukranians. At the beginning I was afraid the Ukranians would avoid using the language of the agressor but on the contrary being able to communicate seems to be the most important thing at the moment. Actually, I know many people who have started to work on their Russian daily in order to be of more help to those who need it.
I think it's a myth that Ukrainians ever tried to suppress the Russian language, I am a foreigner living in Kiev for 6 years and I only ever spoke Russian, In the whole time one person complained but that was when i first arrived and i wasn't that long after Crimea. I am here during this war and some people have switched to Ukrainian but most still speak Russian as before.

@@Phoenix-ov5gg It is worth considering that Kiev was once the capital of Kievan Rus" long before anyone heard of Moscow. So it is even hard to argue that Russian should be considered as a foreign language in these parts.
Hi Max and Julia! All the best for the both of you! I have placed an order for your website and will wait very patiently until the bans get lifted so I can pay for your wonderful course. I hope it will happen soon because that would mean this terrible war would be over. You are very brave people, you are not alone! Take good care! Best and good luck from Holland!
Hello Julya and Max, I have not seen any aggressive emotions against Russians here in Berlin and I hope I never will. I respect you and thank you for all you do ! I enjoy it all.
Your explanation of why Russia has always encompassed polarised views was so helpful. Anyone familiar with Russian literature of the 19th century would recognise many of the points you made.
I feel so heart-broken with this situation. Julia, I used to follow Max before you arrived in the scenery. He has such a charming fantasy, he cheers me up.(don't get me wrong, I could be his mother!) Both of you rejoice my spirits. You're brave. Keep on .I"ll stay in touch. A warm greeting from France. Michèle
Thank You both for being so brave ! I wish you all the luck in the world. Yesterdays live-stream was so full of bugs, I could not watch it. It stopped every few seconds and Firefox showed a cryptic error-message.
Мах здравствуйте как у вас дела? Я татар кто жит в США, ваши канал помогает мне вспомнить мой родной язык, за это большое спасибо! Можете дайте мне link to podcast. Я хочу послушать!! Большой спасибо я люблю что вы и Юля делаете!!!
In Britain people were brainwashed into hating the Polish Romanians and Bulgarians and thus voted for Brexit now the same people are brainwashed into hating the Russians and unconditionally loving the Ukrainians. But the reality is different and there are good and bad people on either side. Racism on the other hand just creates a distorted image of fear towards an 'other'. Yes we should help Ukrainian refugees but what about Russian politic refugees???? People just like switching their brain off and listen to mainstream media.
Интересный стрим, спасибо большое. Я молодой человек из России, давно слушаю вас (иногда), приятно видеть по-настоящему патриотичных (в хорошем смысле) умных людей. Лично у меня всегда были проблемы с поиском и анализом различной политической информации Лет в 13-14 был за нынешнюю власть, потом стал пересматривать взгляды, какое-то время (до осени 2020) был оппозиционером А потом начал рассуждать на тему того, что я не проверяю никаким образом инфу, которую воспринимаю Я разочаровался в самом действии - интересоваться политикой и сейчас я довольно аполитичен О многих последних новостях узнавал от близких, сам легко умею изолироваться от СМИ и нынешней шумихи (наверное, поэтому сохранил большую часть нервов, не поддавшись сильной панике) Очень понравилась теория о разделении людей на 2 группы Я чувствую, что скорее склонен к "коллективистам", но здесь важна та самая общая идея А нынешняя идея войны это тотальный 3,14здеts Надеюсь, у меня в будущем будет больше времени и желания учиться сверять различные источники информации, дабы уметь распознавать достойные источники информации Но сейчас мне не до этого, да и желанием не блещу Найти бы время на более простые хобби Удачи и терпения вам, Максим и Юлия!
Привет из Ижевска) я венгр, прилетел 22 февраля а сейчас не могу вернуться домой. В Ижевске все в порядке, люди спокойные, в заведениях насколько я помню речь вообще не идёт о спецоперации. И Макс, касательно финансовой поддержки, скачай битпей и могу тебя регулярно поддерживать с помощью криптовалют, я уверен что многие из твоих подписчиков тоже могут себе это позволить, которые до сих пор обычным путём поддерживали. Я тебе очень благодарен, я с твоей помощью выучил русский и по сей день смотрю твои видосы. Всего доброго, хорошей работы!
Guys: You reminded me of those early "wild-west" days of the internet. In the late 90s or early 2000s I paid a small subscription fee and downloaded about 1000 movies. I gathered a Russian catalog w many soviet era films and discovered a lot of great Russian talents. (pity the resolution is quite poor!)
Мне очень нравятся ваши ролики. Сейчас больше, чем когда-либо. Спасибо вам большое за эти ролики. Надеюсь, что ваша деятельность не приведет к "неприятностям".Если в какой-то момент вам придется покинуть Россию, пожалуйста, приезжайте к нам в Германию. Нам нужны такие люди, как вы.
К сожалению, я нажал не ту кнопку и отправил сообщение преждевременно! Трудно представить, как должно быть там в России, и ощущение того что общество рушится вокруг одного и все его планы и ожидания на будущее ставятся под сомнение. Я чувствую усталое отчаяние в ваших голосах, несмотря на ваши попытки сохранить позитивный тон. Есть также ощущение бессилия повлиять на событие. С наилучшими пожеланиями. Грэям.
Thank you for speaking so openly about the current situation. You say you can understand why people are turning against 'the Russians'. I think that every educated and intelligent person should be able to distinguish between the ambitions of a political leader and the rest of the population. There is no reason at all to feel aggression towards Russia in general. All the best to you from Germany.
Макс, пожалуйста, держи нас в курсе того, как мы можем продолжать поддерживать тебя и твой проект во время этого кошмара. Позднее - я только что увидел твою страницу по поводу поддержки, так на Патреон мы можем поддержать проект, да? Хорошо.
Макс и Юлия, здорово чуваки! Это я Кристофер. Через последний четыре года я сидел мой диван и смотрел вы сделали видео из России. Четыре года! Тогда я не представит не мог что сегодня мы будем так ситуации. Ну вот короче, не слышите у людей которые есть плохо слова. Я знаю что вы хорошо людей. Пожалуйста берегите себя, я надеюсь что вы все скорее будет хорошо нет, я знаю!!! Большая любвь! Спасибо за уроки!!!!
Вы оба храбры, что высказываете свое мнение. Несмотря на то, что вы не сказали ничего экстремального, я понимаю, что даже такое простое видео, в этих дни может быть небезопасно. Слушая вас, у меня возникает то же чувство, что и когда я слушаю Екатерину Шульман, но она говорит намного быстрее😅
Желаю вам всего хорошего и много силы! Спасибо, что вы тратили столько времени, чтобы всё так хорошо объяснить 🙏 Вы очень очень смелые и хорошие люди! Привет из Германии! 😊
Happy to see you both again 💕!!! keep the spirit high and again you show us the opportunity to see the prospects from the Russian youth and the people in general who are mostly against that unnecessary war!And Max,your channel is very important and useful to educate the public of what Russia is all about, the history,beauty, the utter intelligence and as a whole the greatness of Russia and let's hope of a free Russia because it's about time to stop the hate between the nations, let's listen to Peter Gabriel and his title track, GAMES WITHOUT FRONTIERS,WAR WITHOUT TEARS,spot on!!!nabukov,chekov,two of the greatest litteratures of our contemporary, great poets as well !!!so let's keep in touch,so maybe I can sent you some great classics and exchange the culture that is the most important bound there is,you are both courageous and bold to keep sharing your thoughts!!keep safe and be careful and try to stay informed by the most credible sources!!! greetings from Belgium, Bernard sending you the very best wishes and regards 🙏⛅⛅⛅✌️👌🍻
Хотя мне не нужно изучать русский, но всё равно приятно было посмотреть на адекватных и симпатичных людей с неискаженной логикой и ценностями(что в наше время очень важно). Сегодня разговаривал со своим другом, живущим в Германии и подумал, что там война чувствуется больше, даже если ты совсем не смотришь ТВ или Интернет. Потому что, выходя на улицу, видишь украинские флаги, периодически проводятся митинги в поддержку Украины, созданы центры приема украинских беженцев, а в центре города на большом экране передают новости, не искаженные пропагандой. У нас же делают вид как будто ничего не происходит, а просто какая-то "спецоперация" с невнятными целями.
Привет) уже долго смотрю ваши видео. Мне интересно и может это интересная тема для следующего видео, как россияне сейчас уезжают из России, ну какие преимущества/недостатки от этого, что нужно чтобы делать это и почему вы это не делаете? Мне было бы просто интересно )) удачи вам!
Больше спасибо for your continuing to send messages from Russia. You guys are the worlds link to the average people in Russian. You are very brave to speak to the world. We wish you all the best, be safe and take care
Max and Julia - Please keep the lines of communication open. I don't blame average Russians for this mess and I think that holds true for the vast majority of people in this country (USA). You guys are great ambassadors for average Russian people - most of whom are appalled at what is happening in Ukraine. Keep your heads down - I would not want to log in one day and be greeted with a shut down YT channel. Let's just get through the next few months. Ok? Cheers and keep up the good work.
Dear Max, Dear Julia, all the very best to both of you. We are all very much with you, don't be annoyed by negative comments, that happens, but you can be sure that the overwhelming majority of all Russian language students are very close to you! You are wonderful teachers, wonderful people, and русский народ гораздо сильнее своего бесполезного и бездумного руководства. Желаю тебе всего самого наилучшего и оставайся верным тебе. Но вы должны постараться скорее выбраться из России.
Also sorry for mire messages but I recently deleted Fb and Instagram and from someone who has a Cyber Security back ground let me tell you these social media platforms have been used like a weapon against humanity. In fact they even had psychological tests to see if they could cause us to be depressed and addicted in the past which I think is truly evil.
Макс, Юля, я очень за вас переживаю. Пожалуйста, уезжайте как можно скорее. Это не время для "поживём-увидим." Уже понятно куда все катится в России. Я изучала русский язык и историю с 15-и лет (мне сейчас 30 с чем-то), и прям с детства любуюсь русской культурой. Последние 10 лет, видно что место для свобоного мышления и самовыражения в России постепенно уменшалось, а теперь совсем исчезает, надеюсь не навсегда.
Вы молодцы! Я следую много учителей русского языка и большинство из них боится прямо говорить о трагедии Украины и России. Я сам не знаю если будучи на вашем месте, я был бы так храбрым. Держитесь и помните что весь мир не против вас, а против одного человека и его ближайшего круга
Макс, в Китае ждали Гон Конга и тоже ждали Makao много лет. Они теперь ждут Тайгуана. Не надо войне. Мир!!!! Я живу в Аргентине, и изучаю русский язык. Моя бабушка была русская и мой дедушка, украйнец Извините мои ошибок.
Друзья, когда люди думают что они не могут ничего делать, чтобы изменить ситуацию, это большая победа тоталитарного режима. Кто вас будет спасать? :( знаете, митинги во Франции тоже иногда были жестокими, полиция была жестокой, смотрите жёлтые жилеты. Ситуация очень серьёзна. Вы не виноваты, но всё равно у вас есть историческая ответственность. Я мирный человек как вас. Найди́те ваш путь. Успеха вам.
I also would like to say that your channel helps me immensely in my work with Ukrainian refugees because all of them speak and understand Russian but not all of them speak English. Thank you!
No English subtitles unfortunately. In addition to teaching the Russian language, your opinion of young Russians living in Russia is of great interest to the outside world.
Thank you for being such awesome lovable humans. Hope all will be ok for you, that you'll be able to have a great wedding soon. Yulia , I love your nail polish ! I see them blue and yellow. 💙💛 If it's case, wow I admire you ! You are "living dangerously and courageously" . xox
An excellent video...balanced, intelligent and senisble. It is tough- my former Russia teacher had to flee Irpin...2 of her neighbours kids were killed...my other teacher is trapped in Kyiv....both taught me Russian-the language of the guy firing the shells.....It is easy for us sitting in comfortable democracies to judge...but a friend driving from Finland toSt. Peter during the week was stopped and teh Russian guard asked to look at his phone...checking social media for negative comments about the invasion or 'special operation'....luckily he didn't find any. As with the girl in Nizhny with the piece of paper....My fear is this...Unless the regime is removed then Russia will slip more and more to North Korea...ever more paranoid and more brutal with its own people. That's just the way it is and the choices available. Above all you guys take care and stay safe in this world of Franz Kafka and shadow.

Наш замечательный учитель, возможно, поможет вам определить видео, которым должен следовать новичок, я имею в виду из ваших видео, чтобы он мог слышать русский язык
I hope that Russian aggression ends soon and both sides can go back into recovering. In any case please don't forget that even though Russia has committed crimes, many people around the world are non the less interested in learning Russian. I don't think that has changed much. So please continue making high quality content and keep up with what you're doing!
@@sunsim8197 thanks, mr. I am American and can see that my country's government interferes in dozens of countries around the world. The men who run this country (the ones we'll rarely see) want to take over the world. Putin is right about the new world order!
Нет войнe! Желаю силы украинскому народу. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 И желаю мужества российским протестующим.🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 No war! Strength to the Ukrainian people. And courage to the Russian protestors.
Haha - why did I expect the normally great English subtitles from the live video? I'll circle back when I can use them to help my нехорошо русский язык.

Wishing you both the best. You are both very talented people. I'm certain that whatever happens in Russia, you'll survive and do well. I'm certain that your love will endure also until the end. You are two wonderful people and examples of kindness and righteousness in your country. You are the type of people that I believe in in Russia.
Я согласен! 😎
In El Salvador we pray for you.
Dear Max and Julia, I've always found your channel the most accessible and valuable for learning Russian. I understand both of you will have a tough time going forward. Best of luck with the hardships. And thanks for not supporting or downplaying the terrible things happening.
Have a good day! Christiaan
Max, Yulia I rarely comment on TH-cam but I want to say that my heart is with you and all the people that are suffering this situation. I really love russian culture, language, cities... I always enjoy your channel and I've been following you since 2019 or 2020 when I started to learn russian. Thanks for all your videos. I will continue here, learning and supporting you guys. Wishing you the best!!! Stay strong!
I have been watching you both around 3 years now. You've helped me so much develop my russian with your incredible videos. Thank you so much. I wish nothing but the best for you and am certain that you will keep going no matter what. You are so strong I can't imagine being in a situation like this. Love from Canada
I have been watching your videos for around one year and I love them. And I love you for how brave you are being in shooting this one. Stay strong, I wish you the best. Saverio from Florence, Italy
Also from Canada , be well , we will get on the other side sometime, hopefully soon, hugs from Toronto
Max and Yulia, I'm glad to see that you are safe and well, for the moment at least! Your comments are very thoughtful. They help me understand this tragedy better. I want you both to flourish wherever you are. You are welcome to North Carolina, if being here suits you. I look forward to your podcasts; they are superb--the best. And they are a wonderful way to learn Russian as well as learn about Russia.
Dear Yulia & Max: everytime I hear that more sanctions will be imposed on Russia I can't help feeling sorrow for you. 😢😢 I wish you the best of luck!!! Take good care of yourselves 💜💜💜
В России всем похую на ваши санкции.
We subscribers love you guys so much, Max and Yulia. I am praying for peace and everyone this has affected in many different ways. It's horrible beyond belief.
hi Max and Julia, I will listen carefully to your video tomorrow. I can only say that as of now insanity is ruling Russia and I feel so sorry for sensible people like you.
I'm from Serbia and I know what are you going through, as well as Ukrainians. We had sanctions in Serbia and we in Bosnia (I'm Bosnian Serb who refugeed to Serbia during the Bosnian war ) had war. So everything I can say is you will survive, and keep your common sense. Keep your own truth in your hearts. You shell overcome. And keep your pride as well. You didn't want this war and you are still great nation. And you will be even better. Слава России! Слава Украине! Вы братья! Нет войне!
From what I know, more than half of russians obt for this war.

Just here to say: Russian with Max is such a great channel with a great couple behind it - a beautiful example of what Russia can offer, in stead of nihilist destruction. I learned so much from the videos. Can’t thank you enough.
Юля -эти ногти..синее небо, золотые поля: мы будем их снова увидеть?
Max and Julia, thanks so much for this update, and for sharing your views with us. Will continue to support your project no matter what - really hope you guys can find a way forward and continue to help Russian learners around the world!
Для меня было облегчением узнать что вы оба в порядке, было действительно грустно видеть как мой учебный процесс затуманен этой бессмысленной политической игрой. тем более что у меня есть друг из питере и у него проблемы с интернетом а не могу общаться с ним ;__; у него тоже есть друзья в украине, довольно неудачное время для контакта с русской культурой.
нормальные человек стремятся только к спокойной жизни со своими друзьями и со своей культурой, со своими повседневными проблемами, к сожалению над нами хотят играть в войну.
Спасибо Макс, за дал мне знать что ты в порядке) буду продолжать учить русский язык, это моя зона комфорта 👋
Dear Max and Yulia, I've been following your channel for a couple of years already. Your videos have been very helpful to me to learn russian even though I prefer writing this message in english because I don't have the enough amount of fluency in russian to express myself correctly. 😅 I'm so glad that you are safe and well and even though here in Italy (but I guess it's the same in many other countries outside Russia) many people are against Russia, you are the living proof that any generalization is absolutely wrong. Being against the decisions of a government doesn't mean being against (or hate) its entire population. I send you a very big hug hoping that all this madness may come to an end quickly and that the situation can return to normal as soon as possibile. Stay safe my friends! 🙏
Thank you very much for your courage and your clarity, both of you. Your perspective is valuable. молодецкий!
Thank you to both of you! You are very brave, and I wish you the best.
I am going to write in English as I am short of time.. I understood Yulia's thoughts very well - I also thought about this from the very beginning of the war, when (quite understandably) there was a very emotional reaction among the people in the west and in Poland for example (I live in the UK, but I am Polish), including some of my Polish friends - a reaction saying that 'all Russians are to blame, that there has always been something wrong with them, that all of them have imperial inclinations etc, and all that bullshit. This clearly shows a lot of people, most of them, think Russia is a homogenic territory, they do not understand how diverse it is in terms of its peoples, opinions, age groups, political inclinations etc, they do not understand its complexity, history, including the modern one, the challenges people who are against the government face etc. Most of these people have never been to Russia, never tried to understand it and its people better, and base their opinions on their feelings, what their family members told them about the 2nd world war (for example in Poland) etc. But they fail to see that there are millions of people, who are against the propaganda in Russia, against the government but their hands are tight and options to change something are very limited due to obvious reasons (being arrested, losing your job, being called a traitor, or even being killed). I totally agree it is easy to complain by someone sitting in their home in the west, being safe and having right to protest, that the Russians do not go to the streets and protests as they should to topple Putin's regime, and their opinion would be much different if they spent some time in Russia trying to understand the reality there. It has not been happening overnight, I agree, and maybe there was a moment the Russian people could have stopped Putin earlier, but personally I doubt it - the propaganda has been in operation for years, and despite heroic attempts (for example Navalny, or many other journalists in the past, like the journalists of Novaya Gazeta etc), the government has always been able to find a way to simply squash these attempts, to nip them in the bud). Maybe the geography of Russia is a problem? Maybe it is too big to get people together to protest against the government? Maybe it is to simply impossible to motivate so many different peoples with different ideas, ethnicities, a few thousands kms from Moscow to actually do something and go out and protest? I agree most of the people in Russia from the Russian glubinka live very poor, simple lives, with no skills to reason, to triangulate and check the information they get, they are very gaullible and believe what the federal media tell them. But there are definitely millions of Russians across the whole country who do not agree with what is happening, have never been agreeing, maybe half of the population, or maybe +-30%, it is difficult to know how many, but still it is millions of people, like you guys, who need our support, as what you do is heroic. I always try to educate my friends and family that we should not reduce the whole country with its whole population to what Kremlin is doing. And even if majority of Russians are now brainwashed, it needs to be recognized that other millions are in a very difficult situation as everyone is against them in their own country and on top of that people abroad are forgetting about them, too. Stay strong!
very sensible comment. It's a relieve to read it, thank you. Knowing Russian, I get access to many comments of hatred. I can undestand when they come from people who are being bombed, their emotions of fear and rage are taking over and I don't think I would be doing any better in their situation, but other nations? No, it's not ok.
The little about the history of the conflict , it is better since 1991 , but it will be enough from 2014 . When the Nazis , with the total support of the United States , committed a bloody coup and overthrew the legitimate President Yanukovych ., they immediately banned the Russian language .Donbass (a region close to Russia and populated by a Russian-speaking population) spoke out against , they voted for independence. Ukraine unleashed a bloody war in the Donbas, where 13 thousand civilians were killed. Type in the search for the Madonna of Donbass !
Zelenskiy defeated Poroshenko in the 2018 elections with 75% support from Ukrainians, promising to restore peace in the Donbas by any means and restore good relations with Russia, his main economic partner. At the time of the election, more than 50% of Ukrainians were in favor of restoring good relations with Russia. In many cities of Ukraine, Ukrainians supported the Russian team on football at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. And now, after 3 months, the policy of Zelensky, who has been on visits to many Western countries, is changing dramatically. And everyone's favorite humorist Zelensky gradually turns into Porosheko over the course of the year. Why ? Because both Poroshenko and Zelensky are most worried about their offshore accounts and are afraid of nationalists. Zelensky officially bans the Russian language throughout Ukraine, and control and penal services have been created that allow fines, including ordinary sellers and doctors who speak Russian. With the consent of the ambassadors of Western countries, he closed 3 TV channels that traditionally promote peace and restore relations with Russia. And now Zelensky has brought disaster to the whole of Ukraine. For 8 years now, Russia has been demanding the implementation of the Minsk agreements, which provided for the return of Donbass to Ukarina on the terms of amending the constitution with the federal status of Donbass and the possibility of electing a government, police and preserving the original Russian language. schools and the opportunity to communicate in Russian everywhere. In 2014, the Ukrainian army killed 13,000 civilians in the Donbass, but in the end suffered a complete defeat. Russia in 2104 could easily conquer Ukraine in a matter of days, but did not. It was Russia that forced the leaders of Donbass (I repeat the leaders of Donbass, not Ukraine) to sit down with Poroshenko and sign the Minsk agreements, which many in Russia considered treacherous. Even then, Donbass demanded that Russia recognize its independence. But Russia then did not take this step and gave Ukarina a chance. For eight years, Poroshenko and Zelensky shied away from implementing the Minsk agreements. And already this year, Zelensky and members of his government openly admitted that they were not going to fulfill these agreements. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine on open air called Donbass a cancerous tumor on the body of Ukraine. In January, under pressure from the United States and Britain, Zelensky escalated and moved troops to the line of demarcation with Donbass, as well as multiple launch rocket systems and large-caliber artillery (which is expressly prohibited by the Minsk agreements). Russia also pulled its troops to the Ukrainian border. Biden, Boris, and the Western media raised the cry for a Russian invasion precisely on the basis of what had been scripted ahead of time for Zelensky. Zelensky had to initiate an escalation of the conflict, at first he avoided it, then he was forced and the Ukrainian army began intensive shelling of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. Residents of Donbass found themselves again in 2014, when there were numerous casualties among the civilian population. It was the Ukrainian army, stuffed with Western weapons and instigated by the West, that unleashed the conflict. Of course, Russia was forced to react. And Russia responded. From the very beginning, the United States and Great Britain aspired to this scenario in order to accuse Russia of aggression and the imposition of sanctions. At the same time, what will happen to Ukraine does not concern them. The enemy has taken place, now Biden and Boris will unite their countries within and unite the collective West and tear Europe away from Russia.
No one will put you in jail for speaking out against a military operation. You can be prosecuted for libel and denigration of the army. You can tell the truth about failures or what you think about events and nothing will happen to you. But if you invent or repeat the lies spread by the Ukrainian media and the authorities about the numerous rapes of women and even children, then yes, you can be prosecuted. The West was shamefully silent about 8 years of shelling, tyranny and murders in the Donbass. In 2014, Ukraine lost but signed the Minsk Agreements registered with the UN. It is also very important to understand that Germany and France are the guarantors of the implementation of the Minsk agreements on the part of Ukarin, Russia acted as a guarantor on the part of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. In this situation, the United States and Britain encouraged Ukraine for 8 years to non-compliance with the Minsk agreements, and the guarantors of these agreements, Germany and France, not only did not fulfill their direct functions (to guarantee the implementation of the Minsk Agreements for Ukraine), but also shamefully turned a blind eye to numerous gross violations, murders, sabotage and terrorism such as the assassination of DPR head Alexander Zakharchenko, who signed the Minsk Agreements with Poroshenko. The total actions of Western countries have led to complete impunity for the Zelensky regime. Moreover, the politicians of Germany and France very often supported the Ukrainian propaganda that it was the Russians shelling the Donbass. The ambassadors of the US and Britain openly supported the ban on the Russian language and the closure of oppositional pro-Russian channels. And of course the West completely ignored the neo-Nazi movement and groups, just because they were aimed against Russian and pro-Russian people, politicians. And in the end, Russia was left with no choice but to intervene. During these 8 years, there was not a single Western correspondent for a major publication in the Donbass. No one in the West knows the horrific events of May 2, 2104, when protesters were burned alive in Odessa, the massacre of the entire police department in Mariupol and many other crimes of the Ukrainian regime. 13 thousand victims of the Ukrainian regime, including 256 children, is a huge number for a region of about 3 million people. How if you scale to the USA it is 1 million 300 thousand victims and 25 thousand children. You must realize this. Europe and the USA could easily prevent the conflict, the authorities of Ukarina are the pet dog of the USA. But the United States has always encouraged the conflict situation in Ukraine, and the United States also refused to the demands of Russia to provide a guarantee that Ukarina would not join NATO. Therefore, in Russia
the vast majority is on the side of the people of Donbass.
Dear Max and Julia, I sincerely thank you for your such casual and straightforward talks! I have many friends in Russia and some in Ukraine. I know you both are brothers and sisters, good friends each other. I really hope you both will soon hug and shake hands once again as you have simply been doing so!
Good morning Max and Yulia from Texas! I want to say never apologize for being Russian as the media has pushed alot of hate. I have many friends in Ukraine and Russia that I care about greatly however the same people that intentionally divided my country by race is now using Ukrainians and Russians as pawns. May God bless you both and keep you strong.
Max and Yulia, my heart is totally broken after watching this video. You are wonderful and positive people who help thousands of students through this channel (the best Russian resource on TH-cam, in my point of view). You really helped me to engage in the study of the language again. I hope this absurd situation will be over soon. During my life, I had the privilege of being in personal contact with many Russians and could not empathize enough how unfair is to blame the common people for what is happening. Wish you both all the best. Warm regards from Brazil!
Also, for those that think that Americans don't understand. Please remember Martin Luther King Jr. “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
"If only to save ourselves from bitterness, we need the vision to see the ordeals of this generation as an opportunity to transfigure ourselves and American society. Let us not fear going to jail. If the officials threaten to arrest us for standing up for our rights, we must answer by saying that we are willing and prepared to fill up the jails of the South. Maybe it will take this willingness to stay in jail to arouse the dozing conscience of our nation."
Good to see you both! I'm glad you are safe!
Я очень рад видеть, что у вас все в порядке. Две недели, когда мы не виделись со всеми вами, это долгий срок!
The world is falling apart, I'll save any political banter and just say that I learned a lot from your videos. I've even learned a lot from Ukrainians. My teacher is Ukrainian.
I hope one day all of this will end and to visit both Russia and Ukraine. To experience the cultures, good people and especially the food.
Whatever happens from here on out я желаю вам удачи.
Dear Julia and Max
I have followed your programmes for the last three years or so, and find your materials very refreshing and engaging. Just two nice people, doing some positive things that bring people closer to each other by engaging with the Russian language and culture. I am really sorry that you are experiencing these difficulties at the moment. It is always the wrong people, who end up suffering…love what you are doing continue to wish you well. Frank, Birmingham, UK.
Макс и Юлия. Я обычно не комментирую на Ютубе, но я думаю, что этот видео было познавательно. Во времена плохой информатции важно, чтобы мы всё были информированы. Спасибо за видео и я надеюсь, что все будет хорошо.
Thanks for talking about it so openly, glad not everyone is too scared! I'm in Sochi and I have a good life here but now I'm worried that the economy might get much worse in the coming months and I'm obviously not happy with the political situation either. Might have to end up going back to England and that'd really be a shame. I hope some diplomacy can somehow save us but I doubt it ...
Спасибо за видео. Я знаю что вы делаете всё что вы можете, и это не ваша вина. Надеюсь, что война скоро закончится и всё вернётся в норму
I hope you two make it out and end up somewhere you are safe. Thanks for the years of lessons, and the bravery now
Please add subtitles in English & Russian . We can learn many new words from this video . Thanks for everything 🙏

Привет Макс и Юлия. Очень интересным подкаст но тоже грустно и без сомнения, трудно готовить.
Of course regular Russians are not at fault for this war. So many people don't understand that this war is ultimately between the ruling classes of these countries, not ordinary citizens, even though it's ordinary citizens who get sent to do the fighting. Capitalism always has to expand profits - ultimately this means that capitalists (the big business owners) in any given country eventually must look outside their own country for more markets to enter, resources to extract, cheaper labor to exploit. With the ways the global economy has shifted in the past several years, NATO countries have increasing interest in controlling Eastern Europe, as do Russia and China, their main competitors. This is why international war happens under global capitalism -- the competition between the ruling classes of different countries eventually comes to blows as they seek to control other parts of the world. There is only so much pie and the capitalist classes of different countries are fighting to get bigger slices of it.
It's so frustrating to see, at least here in the US, so many Americans, even the "progressives," falling for the blatant Russophobia that's being pushed, using "Russians" as if it's a synonym for "evil people" and acting like cheerleaders for the US, NATO, Ukrainian ruling class etc like any of them have the interests of regular people in Ukraine (or anywhere) at heart. Yes, _Ukraine's right to self determination is very important_, but NATO isn't really defending that, they're defending their own influence over Ukraine. And this conflict gives NATO an excuse to sabotage Russia's economy at the expense of ordinary people's lives, which once again is not because they care about the people of Ukraine, but because they want to destroy Russia as an international competitor in global capitalism. Regular people all over the world have to stop picking a "side" in these imperialist wars like we're picking a sports team and understand that none of these sides are fighting for _us_. We as working people have to organize together on an international scale to stop imperialist wars like these. Until we do they will keep popping up all over the world. It is the inevitable result of a global economy based on competition and exploitation.
Max and Yulia, I wish you both health and safety. Love from the US.
You are a wise person.
Respect from Greece.
I would like to add a point to the discussion on whether learning the Russian language makes sense in the current circumstances. This time I will not talk about motivation or anything like that. I am from Poland and here most people are doing what they can in order to help the Ukranian refugees. And ironically, people who speak Russian can help more. Those who speak both Polish and Russian can easily communicate with the Ukranians. At the beginning I was afraid the Ukranians would avoid using the language of the agressor but on the contrary being able to communicate seems to be the most important thing at the moment. Actually, I know many people who have started to work on their Russian daily in order to be of more help to those who need it.
I think it's a myth that Ukrainians ever tried to suppress the Russian language, I am a foreigner living in Kiev for 6 years and I only ever spoke Russian, In the whole time one person complained but that was when i first arrived and i wasn't that long after Crimea. I am here during this war and some people have switched to Ukrainian but most still speak Russian as before.
@@Phoenix-ov5gg It is worth considering that Kiev was once the capital of Kievan Rus" long before anyone heard of Moscow. So it is even hard to argue that Russian should be considered as a foreign language in these parts.
Hi Max and Julia! All the best for the both of you! I have placed an order for your website and will wait very patiently until the bans get lifted so I can pay for your wonderful course. I hope it will happen soon because that would mean this terrible war would be over. You are very brave people, you are not alone! Take good care! Best and good luck from Holland!

Your explanation of why Russia has always encompassed polarised views was so helpful. Anyone familiar with Russian literature of the 19th century would recognise many of the points you made.
I feel so heart-broken with this situation.

In Britain people were brainwashed into hating the Polish Romanians and Bulgarians and thus voted for Brexit now the same people are brainwashed into hating the Russians and unconditionally loving the Ukrainians. But the reality is different and there are good and bad people on either side. Racism on the other hand just creates a distorted image of fear towards an 'other'. Yes we should help Ukrainian refugees but what about Russian politic refugees???? People just like switching their brain off and listen to mainstream media.
спасибо, что вы так откровенно говорили. Пусть у вас всё будет хорошо! Пожалуйста, продолжайте с проектом. ваша работа важна!
I am so happy to see You. I wish you all the best. ❤️❤️❤️
Интересный стрим, спасибо большое. Я молодой человек из России, давно слушаю вас (иногда), приятно видеть по-настоящему патриотичных (в хорошем смысле) умных людей. Лично у меня всегда были проблемы с поиском и анализом различной политической информации
Лет в 13-14 был за нынешнюю власть, потом стал пересматривать взгляды, какое-то время (до осени 2020) был оппозиционером
А потом начал рассуждать на тему того, что я не проверяю никаким образом инфу, которую воспринимаю
Я разочаровался в самом действии - интересоваться политикой и сейчас я довольно аполитичен
О многих последних новостях узнавал от близких, сам легко умею изолироваться от СМИ и нынешней шумихи (наверное, поэтому сохранил большую часть нервов, не поддавшись сильной панике)
Очень понравилась теория о разделении людей на 2 группы
Я чувствую, что скорее склонен к "коллективистам", но здесь важна та самая общая идея
А нынешняя идея войны это тотальный 3,14здеts
Надеюсь, у меня в будущем будет больше времени и желания учиться сверять различные источники информации, дабы уметь распознавать достойные источники информации
Но сейчас мне не до этого, да и желанием не блещу
Найти бы время на более простые хобби
Удачи и терпения вам, Максим и Юлия!
I hope TH-cam isn't blocked. Good look to both of you. Я люблю вас!
Hi, please stay safe we love you and you both are great persons!

Привет Макс, что что случилось с с английским текстом? Был вчера но не вижу его сегодня.
Привет из Ижевска) я венгр, прилетел 22 февраля а сейчас не могу вернуться домой. В Ижевске все в порядке, люди спокойные, в заведениях насколько я помню речь вообще не идёт о спецоперации. И Макс, касательно финансовой поддержки, скачай битпей и могу тебя регулярно поддерживать с помощью криптовалют, я уверен что многие из твоих подписчиков тоже могут себе это позволить, которые до сих пор обычным путём поддерживали. Я тебе очень благодарен, я с твоей помощью выучил русский и по сей день смотрю твои видосы. Всего доброго, хорошей работы!
Guys: You reminded me of those early "wild-west" days of the internet. In the late 90s or early 2000s I paid a small subscription fee and downloaded about 1000 movies. I gathered a Russian catalog w many soviet era films and discovered a lot of great Russian talents. (pity the resolution is quite poor!)
Hi Max where is your watch have you sold it?
Мне очень нравятся ваши ролики. Сейчас больше, чем когда-либо. Спасибо вам большое за эти ролики. Надеюсь, что ваша деятельность не приведет к "неприятностям".Если в какой-то момент вам придется покинуть Россию, пожалуйста, приезжайте к нам в Германию. Нам нужны такие люди, как вы.
Привет Макс и Юля, что вы сказали в первую 7 секунд? Спасибо
Желаю вам всего самого хорошего. Надеюсь что с вами все будет хорошо. Вы замечательные люди!
Спасибо большое за ваше великодушие.
К сожалению, я нажал не ту кнопку и отправил сообщение преждевременно! Трудно представить, как должно быть там в России, и ощущение того что общество рушится вокруг одного и все его планы и ожидания на будущее ставятся под сомнение. Я чувствую усталое отчаяние в ваших голосах, несмотря на ваши попытки сохранить позитивный тон. Есть также ощущение бессилия повлиять на событие. С наилучшими пожеланиями. Грэям.

Hello, Julia and Max! Я очень рада 😀 видеть вас обоих и то что вы снимаете видео!!! 🌸🌸🌸take good care of yourselves xxxL
Thank you for speaking so openly about the current situation. You say you can understand why people are turning against 'the Russians'. I think that every educated and intelligent person should be able to distinguish between the ambitions of a political leader and the rest of the population. There is no reason at all to feel aggression towards Russia in general. All the best to you from Germany.
Макс, пожалуйста, держи нас в курсе того, как мы можем продолжать поддерживать тебя и твой проект во время этого кошмара. Позднее - я только что увидел твою страницу по поводу поддержки, так на Патреон мы можем поддержать проект, да? Хорошо.
Макс и Юлия, здорово чуваки! Это я Кристофер. Через последний четыре года я сидел мой диван и смотрел вы сделали видео из России. Четыре года! Тогда я не представит не мог что сегодня мы будем так ситуации. Ну вот короче, не слышите у людей которые есть плохо слова. Я знаю что вы хорошо людей. Пожалуйста берегите себя, я надеюсь что вы все скорее будет хорошо нет, я знаю!!! Большая любвь! Спасибо за уроки!!!!
I hope you guys are ok..and I hope you add English subtitles
For sure
Вы оба храбры, что высказываете свое мнение. Несмотря на то, что вы не сказали ничего экстремального, я понимаю, что даже такое простое видео, в этих дни может быть небезопасно. Слушая вас, у меня возникает то же чувство, что и когда я слушаю Екатерину Шульман, но она говорит намного быстрее😅

Хотя мне не нужно изучать русский, но всё равно приятно было посмотреть на адекватных и симпатичных людей с неискаженной логикой и ценностями(что в наше время очень важно). Сегодня разговаривал со своим другом, живущим в Германии и подумал, что там война чувствуется больше, даже если ты совсем не смотришь ТВ или Интернет. Потому что, выходя на улицу, видишь украинские флаги, периодически проводятся митинги в поддержку Украины, созданы центры приема украинских беженцев, а в центре города на большом экране передают новости, не искаженные пропагандой. У нас же делают вид как будто ничего не происходит, а просто какая-то "спецоперация" с невнятными целями.
Привет) уже долго смотрю ваши видео. Мне интересно и может это интересная тема для следующего видео, как россияне сейчас уезжают из России, ну какие преимущества/недостатки от этого, что нужно чтобы делать это и почему вы это не делаете? Мне было бы просто интересно )) удачи вам!
Ochen rada vas videt!
Больше спасибо for your continuing to send messages from Russia. You guys are the worlds link to the average people in Russian. You are very brave to speak to the world. We wish you all the best, be safe and take care
I weep for those affected, in any country. May this war - or whatever you want to call it - end soon.
Я очень рада видеть вас снова
How can we help you?
Max and Julia - Please keep the lines of communication open. I don't blame average Russians for this mess and I think that holds true for the vast majority of people in this country (USA). You guys are great ambassadors for average Russian people - most of whom are appalled at what is happening in Ukraine. Keep your heads down - I would not want to log in one day and be greeted with a shut down YT channel. Let's just get through the next few months. Ok? Cheers and keep up the good work.
Dear Max, Dear Julia, all the very best to both of you. We are all very much with you, don't be annoyed by negative comments, that happens, but you can be sure that the overwhelming majority of all Russian language students are very close to you! You are wonderful teachers, wonderful people, and русский народ гораздо сильнее своего бесполезного и бездумного руководства. Желаю тебе всего самого наилучшего и оставайся верным тебе. Но вы должны постараться скорее выбраться из России.
Also sorry for mire messages but I recently deleted Fb and Instagram and from someone who has a Cyber Security back ground let me tell you these social media platforms have been used like a weapon against humanity. In fact they even had psychological tests to see if they could cause us to be depressed and addicted in the past which I think is truly evil.
Макс, Юля, я очень за вас переживаю. Пожалуйста, уезжайте как можно скорее. Это не время для "поживём-увидим." Уже понятно куда все катится в России. Я изучала русский язык и историю с 15-и лет (мне сейчас 30 с чем-то), и прям с детства любуюсь русской культурой. Последние 10 лет, видно что место для свобоного мышления и самовыражения в России постепенно уменшалось, а теперь совсем исчезает, надеюсь не навсегда.
Вы молодцы! Я следую много учителей русского языка и большинство из них боится прямо говорить о трагедии Украины и России. Я сам не знаю если будучи на вашем месте, я был бы так храбрым. Держитесь и помните что весь мир не против вас, а против одного человека и его ближайшего круга
Макс, в Китае ждали Гон Конга и тоже ждали Makao много лет. Они теперь ждут Тайгуана.
Не надо войне. Мир!!!!
Я живу в Аргентине, и изучаю русский язык. Моя бабушка была русская и мой дедушка, украйнец Извините мои ошибок.
Друзья, когда люди думают что они не могут ничего делать, чтобы изменить ситуацию, это большая победа тоталитарного режима. Кто вас будет спасать? :( знаете, митинги во Франции тоже иногда были жестокими, полиция была жестокой, смотрите жёлтые жилеты. Ситуация очень серьёзна. Вы не виноваты, но всё равно у вас есть историческая ответственность. Я мирный человек как вас. Найди́те ваш путь. Успеха вам.
мы вас любим, как настоящие друзья, ка семья. мы не хотим вас терять. будте осторожны. заботитесь о себе.😘
Я готов послать вам немножко чтобы тестирование Биткойн кошелёк. Только нужно подать адрес, на пример, на канале телеграммы. Вы супер!
30:18 This is very sad :( I, for one, admire the courage of those Russians who are against the war.
I also would like to say that your channel helps me immensely in my work with Ukrainian refugees because all of them speak and understand Russian but not all of them speak English. Thank you!
No English subtitles unfortunately. In addition to teaching the Russian language, your opinion of young Russians living in Russia is of great interest to the outside world.
Ваш подписчик из России. Желаю удачи и терпения
Оно нам всем русским пригодится
Thank you for being such awesome lovable humans. Hope all will be ok for you, that you'll be able to have a great wedding soon. Yulia , I love your nail polish ! I see them blue and yellow. 💙💛 If it's case, wow I admire you ! You are "living dangerously and courageously" . xox
An excellent video...balanced, intelligent and senisble. It is tough- my former Russia teacher had to flee Irpin...2 of her neighbours kids were killed...my other teacher is trapped in Kyiv....both taught me Russian-the language of the guy firing the shells.....It is easy for us sitting in comfortable democracies to judge...but a friend driving from Finland toSt. Peter during the week was stopped and teh Russian guard asked to look at his phone...checking social media for negative comments about the invasion or 'special operation'....luckily he didn't find any. As with the girl in Nizhny with the piece of paper....My fear is this...Unless the regime is removed then Russia will slip more and more to North Korea...ever more paranoid and more brutal with its own people. That's just the way it is and the choices available. Above all you guys take care and stay safe in this world of Franz Kafka and shadow.
As Czech I just want to say.. Franz Kafka was Czech not russian :)
@@lillimala9574 oh yes indeed...he was Czech...I was referring to this authoritarian world he describes in the Trial where no one knew where they stood in relation to the state
Ah ok my bad, sorry :) I didn't pay attention in the right direction. 😅
Наш замечательный учитель, возможно, поможет вам определить видео, которым должен следовать новичок, я имею в виду из ваших видео, чтобы он мог слышать русский язык
Пострайтесь не смотреть телевизор !В конце все будет хорошо ! 🙏🙏
Мах ! У вас актуальная новость о России и хороший взгляд по решению ситуации.
I hope that Russian aggression ends soon and both sides can go back into recovering. In any case please don't forget that even though Russia has committed crimes, many people around the world are non the less interested in learning Russian. I don't think that has changed much.
So please continue making high quality content and keep up with what you're doing!
@@sunsim8197 thanks, mr. I am American and can see that my country's government interferes in dozens of countries around the world. The men who run this country (the ones we'll rarely see) want to take over the world. Putin is right about the new world order!
Нет войнe!
Желаю силы украинскому народу. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
И желаю мужества российским протестующим.🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
No war!
Strength to the Ukrainian people.
And courage to the Russian protestors.
You two are simply the best… and I’ve learned so much Russian so quickly! Thank you!!
вы молодцы
Удачи и всего доброго из Румынии!
Haha - why did I expect the normally great English subtitles from the live video? I'll circle back when I can use them to help my нехорошо русский язык.
