In the 61st episode of "Real Russia" we have been inside of the big supermarket in Ufa, the capital of Bashkortostan Republic of Russia.
But in this video we are getting inside of so called "neighborhood store". This is a kind of food and everyday products stores located in a massive living districts for a quick access of it's citizens.
We have visited one of DIXY stores at Rustaveli Street in Moscow, not far from "Dmitrovskaya" Metro Station where we live.
DIXY is one of Russia's leading retailers of foods and everyday products with almost 200 stores in Moscow.
And one special things about DIXY is a full disclosure policy for filming. You don't have to ask anyone to film inside of their stores. In their streets doors they have a stickers with a friendly image of the camera and caption: "You can [film] here".
But the main idea of this episode is to show where people in Russia make shopping if they won't go far and up-to-date for March, 2014 prices for the most popular products in Moscow.

I don't know why but I always love watching people just go around and do normal things like shopping in their own country. I love seeing how each country is unique in their own ways. Nice video
I do that when I'm really stoned. Its super interesting and relaxing.
@@stuff8605 never even thought of that thanks

It's so cool to see how Russia's culture is like.
So happy to see and learn about Russia.
+Richard Escobedo ...Hey, Richard, we're also in SA! Love "No fake and no bullshit"! 210!!!!!
Nothing says Russia in 2017 more than workers lined up to piss against a building on a busy street in the middle of the day. 0.26
I agree I'm from dallas
I watch this too, interesting. Greetings from Corpus Christi TX.
They are not peeing, they are applying color dye on the building!
Good idea with lockers up front and the cashier gets to sit down. I also noticed many products packaged in more eco friendly containers. Very interesting, thank you for sharing!
Cashiers sit at aldi. The lockers are cool.
jet guy not always "gals".
Well in Baltimore they would steal the keys to the loxkers
Natalie Junge it's happening the cashiers at the Aldis stores sit down as well
I like bagged mayonnaise!
No fake and no bullshit!I love your videos! Toronto, Canada!
InfoSecGuru False, I live in Toronto and have lived in Moscow.
Canada is cheaper and stuff r of much better quality.
And in this edition of ‘youtube’s algorithm for weird insomniacs’ we watch some russian dude buy groceries.
It's actually interesting. One for the algorithm.
с учетом что в долларах цены стали в 2 раза дешевле
:D
going to grocery stores in other countries is my favorite thing to do when I travel
@Robert because you are here for a reason. If you are not feeling connection and purpose of your life, then something inside is blocking you (trauma and beliefs generally). Life unfolds according to what we already have inside. And it can be incredible. There are ways to work through blocks. One of them is Theta healing. Look it up and good luck! 🤗
PS I hope you will feel better soon. And God/universe loves you. However cheesy that sounds...
I work in a grocery store and i can tell just from this video that the store is well maintained. The shelves are neat. Everything is well stocked and pulled forward, everything in neat rows. That takes a lot of work to keep everything looking that way. Nothing wrong with this place.
Informative and interesting video.I enjoy all your episodes, always seeing something never before seen here.Keep up the good work, Sergey & Sergey.
Good job just started watching your videos. your delivery and content are natural and easygoing that is, you have a friendly relaxed nature. keep up the good work.

It's so cool to see how Russia's culture is like.
So happy to see and learn about Russia.
Thank you for your tour- you are intelligent, well dressed and have great manners.... The prices here are very similar ,but we rarely run into people who can speak even English so fluently... and knowing that your native tongue is Russian- you do an EXCELLENT job. Again- Thank you.
the prices might be the same but who knows people in russia might make less money than in the usa, iam guessing they make 500-800$ a month or less.35$ might be a lot for that.
Yes....that's a great point.
+Jose Avila Moscow is with Saint Peterburg the most expensive city in Russia, the salarys are more bigger in this cities too

Omg cashiers get to sIT DOWN?! My legs kill me after cashiering all day;-; Standing for 10 hours straight. I envy them!
Lol where are you from that cashiers have to stand up right??
See no sense to stand. I live all my life in Russia and always they sit and it is never caused any problems. More than that probably relaxed cashiers have a better mood and more power to do their for just faster.
America does not look after its citizens in terms of health or comfort in the work force :-/
@@idylledoll In no shape, form or fashion does the U.S care for its people. Actually, the U.S sets out to make life deliberately hard on its fellow Americans. No love here, no kind of way.
Envy? You probably make 10 times more money than they do.
Lol planning a motorcycle trip from Dublin Ireland to Moscow Russia for next year. Fitting I come across a video like this! Thanks for putting this up!
As a grocery store employee, thank you for putting everything back in the right place! It boils my blood when my department is trashed.
I am unable to travel, so I love to visit your country this way. Thank You

I very much enjoyed Russian markets, both large and small. My favorites were actually the smaller markets in the countryside and near villages. They were run by families and had a beautiful selection of items. The workers were helpful and polite even though they were wary of me (speaking English).
***** Hey guys, I recognize a lot of the same brands of products at your store that we find in our local grocery stores. That surprised me some. It resembles some of the smaller groceries here in many ways. Biggest difference I noticed is that the cashier is allowed to sit down, which is great. I don't recall seeing that here. Really glad they have a "camera friendly" policy!
Warmest greetings from USA!!
Paul
Paul, why they can not sit? You are not the first person to talk about it.
Whyyyyyyy
Volga Las
I really do not know why this practice exists. I suspect it is about presenting an enthusiastic appearance to customers. All I know is that it is not common practice in the USA. I think it should be, because standing all day in one spot is very difficult.
RealUnitedStatesVlog
Спасибо.
So I thought, it is not very good for health...
Volga Las
I agree. I am working in a retail store recently (temporarily) and I am on my feet about 9 hours a day. It is very tiring, and bad for the back and feet.

Yes, quite literally it is a pain! Cashier is a lot more demanding job than most people realize. Frequently a cashier also works close to the door, and in winter is exposed to a lot of cold from the door opening frequently. It can be a very unpleasant job.
Even though this is an older video from 2014 I enjoyed it very much. I was surprised at how expensive coffee and tea is at first but then I remembered coffee has gotten fairly expensive in America as well in 2019. Great video guys!
TIDE is still expensive there... Its high in the US too.
That Tea he Showed us is Expensive it's "Ahmed Tea" it's 10$ in the U.S it's the brand I'm sure Lipton Tea if he had it, it would have been similar prices! They're prices are better than ours
Commenting late, but one of the reasons why coffee is becoming super expensive is because most of the farmers are having to deal with mold known as coffee rust. Also, deforestation, climate change, and soil quality is playing a huge part as well. In about a decade, coffee will be 700x the cost it is now.
So expensive. If you take into account that the average Russian earns about 200 to 500 a month.
Mmm my favourite... leg of the Kitchen.
Yeah, I found that funny too but we'll forgive him, English is not his mother tongue... lol Gee, some of the things he bought were cheaper than in Quebec, Canada...
I smiled too but hey, this guy obviously doesn't live in an English speaking country and Russians aren't known to speak English well, so I'm giving him a big thumb up.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Southern Fried Kitchen is good too and Roasted Kitchen. His English is much better than my speaking Russian would be. I chop up Spanish all the time. I saw an Asian restaurant menu with Fried Lice instead of Rice being offered, and they say it that way too when speaking English.
Nothing like Walmart. No screaming kids or people in pajamas.
Means nothing is good there😝
Pamela Mojo Fabulous Do you have a problem with what people wear in public?
@@CaptchaNeon yes I do.
Pamela Mojo Fabulous Strange, I thought you were there to shop, not judge other people for how they look. There are jobs out there where you get paid to be a snob, going to the shops isn’t one of them.
@@CaptchaNeonI can say and think any thing I want. Just like the pajama wearing braless wonders I see lerkng in Walmart. Sorry to burst your bubble but people judge others in looks, dress, speech. It is a cruel world .
Sergey , you did a wonderful job on this video. Very informative! You're helping break through stereotypes and propaganda that people have of your country. Keep up the videos.🌹
Speaking as a retired Business School Professor and notorious skinflint when it comes to shopping, the prices of the goods is maybe 25% to 50% more than here in the United States. However, what doesn't get discussed in this video is the average hourly wage in Ufa compared to the average minimum wage here in the USA. THAT's the difference. So food is much more expensive in Mother Russia.
@Mor Dor Duly noted. Thank you for your reply!
hi, still a fan after all this time. can you show cooking at home? What is an average home cooked meal? Do you mostly fry, bake, boil food etc. thank you. love you!!!!!
As always, terrific and instructive! So great!!
Thank you, Bob!
***** Sergey, have you thought about a road trip to California? Do it or the people of Russia? I live in San Diego, a few miles from the Mexican border. The desert to the East would be perfect for an episode. Much of it is below sea level, many different types of cactus, very few animals of any kind, only coyotes, roadrunners, rattlesnakes etc.. There are hundreds of natural caves to explore and escape the desert heat. Come on over with your family, and I will be your guide! Love what you do my friend!
Andrew Phillips But you can ask?
And as in the United States for a foreign tourist, you can look at the tornado?? "Tornado Alley"
I am Russian, but since childhood I dream to see the tornado, f 5!!
Roman Gennadievich Roman, I have lived in California my entire life. We don't see many tornados here. I have seen two up high in the clouds, but didn't touch the ground. But we do have occasional earthquakes!
Andrew Phillips I don't know whether it is possible in the USA to hitchhike??
I've heard all kinds of conflicting information on this subject, in some States can and others cannot, some where even the police could pick.
That's really cool!!! I love your channel. It let's me explore your beautiful country through your videos!!! Greetings from U.S.A!!!
One of the most coolest vids I’ve seen over the years and keep hoping you make more videos like this
it's amazing how there is no annoying music and loud announces, very quiet and clean! nice!
I like listening to Russians speaking English. Their accent goes easy on the ears unlike some others.
terrafirma91 I agree, but must admit that all accents spoken by the female gender is far easier on the ears.
Evil Fan Don't hate your accent ! Accents are cool 👍🏼

Welcome to the US to all people with accents .
Thank for making our boring lives more interesting.
Very much agree. It actually sounds cool. I like. I would actually like to learn Russian myself.
It feels like paradise compared to Indian accent.

johnnymcblaze So grateful in US we have dollar stores.
Omg u didn't go there ,but funny 😂😂😂🌷🌺💖
Naaahh nah nah that's cheap compared to the US
I'm intrigued that there are so many American brands there. I could almost feel at home.
Right?
HunterXray You clearly haven’t seen the candy and soft drink aisles here in Eurasia, almost all of it is American.
It's American brand, European flavours produced in Eastern Europe then exported across the eu/russian region, you would be disappointed I'm afraid.
This is very similar to Poland. Except it's easier for Americans to fly to, you only need a passport.
Ismail Khayam why
I noticed many brands that we see here in the US: Lays, Pringles, etc. Undoubtedly every store in Russia is going to sell Coke and Pepsi as well.
One major distributor of foods and household items (cleaning supplies, etc.) is based right here in Cincinnati, and is known as P&G (Proctor and Gamble). They got their start back in the 1800's with soap, and have since grown to become a massive distributor handling such items as the Pringles you showed in your video.
If I were to read the fine print on everything found inside a typical American store, a considerable portion (maybe 10 - 20%) would be under the P&G company brand. This is a massive amount to come from a single source.
And I thought they make only сleaning and maintenance products.
*****
interesting...I would have thought most other countries sell products from their own countries..I thought most canadian markets would sell canadian labels & brands, whether national or local brands but nevertheless canadian.
I noticed that too. Tons of American products especially in the household items section.
***** The amount of Western European or American brands in this Russian supermarket is quite scary. I have heard that Russians love those Western brands. This Russian store has more German branded goods than the typically discount store in Germany has. Here in Germany I always try to don't buy overprices branded products, it's seems much more difficult to avoide those products in Russia.
***** But if you look in a typically American grocery store, there are so many European brands. I wouldn't be surprised if most Americans don't know what products are from an American company or from an European company. It's the same over here. Most Germans probably think that "Kraft" and "Ferrero" are German companies. I have seen a video where an American couple in a french hypermarket was astonished that they sell Axe deodorants. They didn't know that this is a European product.
That was really interesting! Nice to compare, lots of similar brands and quite cheap for some things.
it's been a while since I watched a video of yours, I didn't see this one & its from 2014. I will continue to watch more of your videos.
All that food would be approximately $43 here in Canada going off the usd. Seems pretty close to what I'd pay for that here. Nice video.
Thank you, James!
Subscribe and make sure to watch hundreds of other of videos I have filmed.
Canada in rural area is parasitized by the shell companies for the royal family
This video is about 3 years old. That same food in Russia today would cost about $15-20 USD or around $18-25 CAD.
hi Sergey, I'm going to subscribe and like every video just to pay for this one, it's awesome. I also wonder if you have a video about wages because that is like the other half of the equation. For example I am a welder in canada and have a paycheck every two weeks ( 80 hours work ) of $1700
Third, I can still go back to school to specialize.
Some of those prices seem like good deals... but $4 for Pringles? Damn...
Looks like a ALDI store here in the US
Bextar636 It should because ALDI originated in Europe. It’s design is based off of some European style grocery stores
Doesn't look like aldi at all. Even aldi looks more fancy

Go play CS GO u will change ur mind
He forgot to say it so I will say it for him "This is the real Russia with'a no fake and no Bullshit!!"
Interesting that your cashiers at the store sit down while here in the USA they are all expected to remain standing. Most of the prices seem comparable to the usa although your coffee is expensive! Thanks for the tour.
+swimbait1 You're welcome! I think it's a good thing that the cashiers in Russia are sitting. Because I am sure it's pretty tiring to stand up all the day long.
+swimbait1 I think the US is alone in that. In Europe they sit down as well. Doesn't seem worth the money if you have to stand all day.
+Real Russia Yeah, man, there's some weird stigma in the U.S. where if you're not standing, you're not working! It's kind of ridiculous. I mean there are plenty of desk jobs where people sit all day, but I see no reason why cashiers, who are stuck in one place anyway should have to stand alllll day with no option to sit down except for a 15-30min break time.
+swimbait1- Many people here in the US who stand in their jobs all day often contract ailments to their legs and body, due to stresses that can affect a person the rest of their lives. I've told many employers about this with blank stares. There is no rule anywhere or even in the Holy Bible that says you must stand for many hours in jobs that don't require it to complete your tasks. Just like the Mexicans who think a person there must work for 15-18 hours 6 days a week, and anything less is looked down among the employers.
+Swimbait1 The counters and register areas are not even built for cashiers to be sitting. There are circumstances where cashiers are allowed to sit but those are the exception not the rule.I have worked in supermarkets and gas stations for several years in the USA. The place I work at is crazy busy I do not have time to sit. I could not even do my job unless cashier area is done over.
Keep up the great work guys. Love from Australia♡♥
Thanks a lot and best regards back from Russia!
In Australia there are 2 shops Woolworths and Coles and basically were ever you go there are right next to each other and they sell the same shit but different prices like Smith Original chips is in Coles $3.46 and in Woolworths $3.43. Woolworths is way better. :D
Sergey, just a note to say I really love your channel as a new subscriber. Thank you!
That store doesn't depress me just looks like a clean neighborhood store you should see some local shops look like shitholes .
It reminds me of Aldi. I love these small stores. In and out with out the fuss.
Yeah, just come to Detroit
Reminds me of grocery stores in the 90s in the US.

I was surprised by the number of American Brand Products available. The prices are generally slightly higher than my local Kroger here in Kentucky. It seemed to have a decent selection of items for a small store.
More expensive and he jas to bag it himself
Thx1138sober : I will agree with this statement I shop Krogers all the time and yes they are higher in price than he thinks.
Well ya, it costs MORE to ship (LET'S HOPE IT'S MADE IN 🇺🇸) American made products to Russia tho 😢
Gee, I live in the northeast, which has a high cost of living and I found these prices around half of what I pay in Vermont!
@@Timenow1 they are not. In fact, most of them doesn't have anything in common with the original US food. All of them are made in Russia. You won't find anything imported in such stores.

Thank you for comment, Garnet
Thanks this is fascinating. From an Australian perspective, we all have cars and drive to the food stores mostly. Some inner city residents may not drive as they most likely will be near a food store. But very much like USA, we are a very urbanized society and so need to drive everywhere.
Stephen Woods Driving everywhere is not a sign of a very urbanized society. It is a sign of a society based on car ownership. Most urbanized societies that do not have miles of land to waste have concentrated on public transportation and neighborhood shopping. Many people in those societies have never even learned how to drive because they don't need that skill. My sister-in-law and her mother never learned how to drive because they had mass transit. It was the post WWII suburbanites and the farm dwellers who needed to have a car in the US because of a lack of public transportation.
If you are an '"urbanized" society, you do not need a car, you just walk or take public transport. It is suburbia, where people are driving to all places.
Its pretty cool to see everyday life in other parts of our world. Funny how watching something as simple as you grocery shopping to be very informative. Great video my dude!!! 👍✌ Thanks for the education!!!
The packaging on a lot of products is eco-friendly and this was uploaded back in 2014. The US/Western world can learn a thing or two. Great video.

Noticed the eggs are not refrigerated, much like many other countries.
In America, out in the country, we don't refrigerate fresh eggs for a long time. But once they get cold, they need to stay cold.
Yep it's because they have been washed
These still have the poop on them.
I have chickens, there's no room in the fridge. Plus if we decide to incubate them, we haven't damaged the embryo.
If the girls are allowed to roam and you keep the nests clean, poop is usually not a problem.
$4 for pringles? jesus that's hella expensive
2014 year, we have at this year 25 rub per dollar
Just convert it, or try to look at real price at video, 119 rub for pringles
They export Pringles from a half of the world, so in Russia there are extra tax and cargo fees in price.
Hadrian Hugh - now the exchange rate has changed. now you can buy Pringles for 1.6$, Jesus has heard you! )))
pringles are like $1.50 a can at Wal-Mart here in the US
This was very cool. Your food is less expensive than in America, yet it was all pretty much the same. Those same items would have been well over 50$ American dollars here.
In 2014, when video recorded, one dollar was ~35 roubles, and when u wrote this comment, dollar was 70 roubles

I live in Kentucky and yes, our moonshine rocks. I love it when my face goes numb from it. I've had the brown and the clear. For some reason the brown has always been better for me. I asked and was told it's just burnt sugar to give it color for camouflage. I don't claim to be a maker or expert but I sure do love it, especially when it's brown.
Thank You so much for sharing this simple task. I have always wanted to learn the culture of Russia, the every day living and things Russians are comparisons to American Lifestyles. You Rock! I subscribed and can't wait to see more about Russia. Oh, by the way, My dream is to one day visit Russia.
Hello everyone!! I just found these guys and 1 video and I'm hooked!🐠🐠🦈🦈Thanks guys !!
Some stuff seems surprisingly expensive there!
Autumn Aurora its Moscow, everyone knows that Moscow city small shops are expensive, but wages in the city are big too, but going away from the city or huge stors are much much cheaper
Its a middle man market. It looks like they buy the products from private growers and outside the country. I doubt they can grow summer crops there.
Not really. Average out pretty close.
our economy is stronger hense 1000 Russian bucks = 35 american dollars
Gmo
The cashier seemed much more friendly than the ones at my local store in Utah. We have a misconception here where we generally think of Russians as unfriendly and aloof.
Because of video record
Correct. There is unstoppable anti-Russian propaganda all the time.

Now, in dollar terms, all products are more than two times cheaper. I am amazed at how expensive it was then compared to today!
I think the guy is lying
$4 for Pringles! 😨 $1 here
I like the lockers, very convenient.
This was a cute little store but seemed so quiet or maybe it was just a slow time of the day.
I saw Lipton tea😁my favorite!
Thanks for this nice informative video💙🇺🇸
@@rayjennings3637😲 oh no! Lol
What's the popular tea now there? I'll see if they have it here in the U.S. and try it😉
Growing up in Southeastern U.S., we always drank Lipton but as long as it's sweet, I'll try another 😁
Most family people prefer to buy a week supply of food in a big stores like Walmart - here we got Auchan, Lenta, Okey. th-cam.com/video/Tfs_xU9fGE4/w-d-xo.html
Stores like this mostly used for buying something you forgot to buy in a big store, or like you suddenly want a bottle of soda. Or for singles who don't plan for a week ahead.
@@angelg.8462 Personally, I prefer Luzianne Tea. Very excellent southern brand.
@@tinasan3870 oh yes, I like sweet Luzianne tea too!!😉
Pringles is concidered 'luxury' brand here in Russia for some odd reason.
It's one of the most expensive snack here.
I like how this store allows their cashiers to sit. In 90% of US based retail stores, you have to stand the entire shift.
It's unhealthy to stand for hours on end. In every UK supermarket you'll find chairs at every cashiers till.
stand? wtf? lol
@@MegaJoojee I know. Labor laws in America are so backwards
Wow very informative! It is interesting that the cashiers are sitting. I’m from Texas, and usually the cashiers stand. There’s a store here called Aldi’s (it’s European but I don’t know which country) and the cashiers sit and customers have to bring their own bags. I looks comfortable to sit. It is so cool to see this. Great video!
For everyone watching this in the USA, I actually did the math on the price tags and they are about half of every price he said. For example if he said it cost $3 American dollars it actually is only $1.50 in 2017 currency conversion.
Correct. The video filmed 3 years ago when exchange rate was different. Now that cart would cost not $35 but about $20. But once prices are growing too.... so with an inflation maybe roughly $25-27.
25....jeez for that bag full? that'd be cheaper than here in the USA
Looks like our well deserved sanctions are working.
Christopher Michaud Well did you also considered the average salary in russia?
What about 3:46 "the leg of a kitchen"? Lol
Your fruit is cheaper then in Oklahoma. The meat is cheaper here. Chips, tea and coffee high there. Milk and can food toilet paper and soup about the same. Cashiers stand here and we have micro-chips in the packages so that the security wont freak when you have a bag not from them. In many ways i like the new Russia better then the new U.S. Seems the world flipped over.
Good to see you both looking well. Thanks.
About the same here in Connecticut.
xxHANNONxx Stick to your guns over there. Oklahoma's support your 2nd amendment right.
Exactly! Some things higher here, some things lower there! It's true, Russia, has become the way we wish America was. If I was younger and single, I would be in Russia already!
hellavadeal I'm taking the kids out runnin and gunnin this Sunday, except the little one. The gun culture was almost non existent here 15 years ago, but now guns are sexier than Prada and Madison Ave. The Marxist democrats are loosing local elections big time. Hopefully we can clean them out at the state level, and launch investigations into to these half mafia, half federal creatures. Considering that CT is nothing more these days than a suburb of NY city, it'll be an up hill battle pressing back against the kind of money they can put into campaigns.
My town was taken over by Tea party style republicans, our new mayor owns an auto shop, I think it's our first mayor that's not a lawyer. It looks like a lot of the changes they made are going to lead to fraud indictments, but the paper trail is so thick, I'm not sure if it'll ever be unwound. On the plus side, the police just got a whole lot nicer, the employees at city hall appear to actually be working now, the construction projects are getting finished instead of being endless money pits and the big tax increases the town swore it needed are starting to look like they'll be tax decreases.
Things are starting to turn around a little bit here, hopefully it's not too little, to late. And the best part is, all the scumbags that voted for the commie gun control, are chitting their pants and want the state to pay for round the clock security like the governor has!
John Harrison That's sadly the truth, and I'm getting sick of being called racist or anti gay for complaining about it.
Total price to today's exchange rate, the final price was around 24 USD and about 18 GBP, real cheap
easy way cheaper than where I live.
I appreciate this video a lot! Just found your channel, I'm so happy, this is exactly what I've been looking for, simple point and shoot, relaxed yet informative videos on real, everyday Russia.
Thank you, can't wait to watch all of your videos!
Prices seem very similar to the grocery stores here in San Francisco,
this is 5yrs ago.much cheaper in uk, tea very expensive even veg.
according to the date, this video was shot in 2014 years. Now prices have become somewhat higher in rubles, but if you count in dollars, many products have become even almost two times cheaper, judging by the price tags. The same bananas cost exactly the same today, that is, they are twice cheaper in dollars. The same can be said about the eggs. But perhaps in this trading network prices at the time were higher than in others. There are many other, both national and regional chains of stores, where prices are perhaps lower. There are huge chain stores where you buy for a week or more. There prices are even lower and a huge selection. In General, the average supermarket chain will be much more spacious, shown in this video and a lot of them within walking distance. There where I live, two supermarkets not further 200 meters. And they are literally located in the same building, which is quite rare. These are the stores of two large national supermarket chains. To another network supermarket 400-500 meters. And there's another bigger one, about the same distance, where I rarely go. And this is a common situation. In Russian cities really quite dense buildings and it allows you to place quite close to a few supermarkets. And it remains cost-effective. Strange things with the dollar to the ruble. When the ruble falls, most local producers, as well as those who make foreign brands under license or even import across the border, cannot raise prices adequately. If and raise, then slowly. So such movements in the exchange rate of the national currency give an advantage to local producers to displace imported goods, the prices of which for some reason could not adjust to the market
NY is same..
Is San Francisco really covered in shit as you walk in the streets?
Maxumized can’t figure out if you’re joking or not but maintenance workers get paid 6 figures a year to wash the streets of human feces early each morning- we have a homeless epidemic- amp.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-poop-patrol-employees-make-184000-a-year-2018-8
Kitchen legs are definitely my favorite food. LMAO this video series is wonderful and your English is actually quite good. I just happened to get a kick out of that. I had a Russian friend I used to game with say the boss we were fighting punched him with his foot. It's the little things like that that crack me up, stay with me, and make me glad I've got friends from all over the world.
Oh my heart. I spent a summer in Moscow studying Russian and I left part of myself there. 😍 We always shopped at the street vendors (bumaga tualyet 😂😂😂). Take us through the banya! Hahaha not American at all, it one of my favorite parts of Moskvye. ❤️😘Ochen horosho.
In one summer you will not learn enough RUSSIAN language.I been staring 9 years in school as second language and for me was a HELL.Much easy I did French then RUSSIAN.And because I never use this language now in NYC I 👂 RUSSIAN tolling and I start to take back this language and very interesting they told me that I have no accent.They good people but I don't like the language,German the same since I am in USA I forget it.When I don't use language u forget it.
@@timofte566 I took a year of Russian in college. Also took 4 years of french. I had no problem getting around France in my 20s. Loved Russia so much though. I haven't spoken either in 20 years. My daughter is learning Japanese now.☺️
@@mycupoverflows7811 Good for you.
Thank you .. Sergey Baklykov....Facinating view I have never seen a supermarket and price in Russia . very cool.
