This is how bad political polarization has gotten. People are willing to work with foreign totalitarian regimes over their domestic opponents. The enemy of my enemy. I've talked about this in my videos "An addendum to "stop idolizing russia" by NFKRZ & addressing Eli from Russia & Gonzalo Lira" and "An Addendum to WhatIfAltHist's A Study of Decadence: Why do people become Tankies?". Another commentator, Freedom Alternative, has a couple of videos called "Russia is not great [1/3] - Cultural Enrichment" and "Putin is a Progressive". His most important video is "What is Duginism and why it matters". Freedom Alternative knows how to appeal to right-wingers, as do I.
Those same Americans in the video would come crying to the US government to save them from "evil Russia" if they ended up speaking their mind a little too much and got locked up in Lefortovo.
Exactly. TBH I'm not one of those who was happy about the Griner exchange. Not because Brittney is black or a lesbian but because she made an adult decision to go over there for money knowing damn well who Vlad Putin is with drugs she knew were illegal there. Then our country gives Russia back an ex arms dealer while they are illegally invading another country. If and big if I were ever to go to Russia I'd assume the responsibility of doing so knowing I may have to improvise my escape from a hostile foreign nation.

@@AlexanderJohnLee I just love how the comment section on your latest video is basically people destroying you with basic knowledge and you having no come back to their critism. 😁👌
@@AlexanderJohnLee Imagine wanting a fascist ethnostate so bad that you'd move to Russia and make an arse out of yourself in front of millions of people giving absurd, ridiculous, Orwellian answers in an interview. Why can't you just own it? Are you afraid it'd land you in prison? You know one of the most corrupt countries in the world, run by a dictator, known for its oligarchs, isn't a meritocracy. You know Russia is one of the most propagandised countries in the world, entirely devoid of free speech, imprisoning citizens for criticising the government. You're not *that* sheltered from the truth. You're just a fascist ethnonationalist who think you've found your haven in Russia, while your strong daddy Putin sends hundreds of thousands of Russians to their deaths invading another country, which is the most textbook example of the consequences of fascism - yet, here you are, in Russia in fucking 2023, like a Nazi collaborator. Absolutely degenerate.
These are the kind of guys who go on vacation in Venezuela and want to move there because they stayed in a resort. Life is great when you have all the benefits without any of the hardships that a regular citizen would face.
Basically the same as anyone that visits third world countries, praising the 'amazing culture' and how life would be 'soooooo amazing' there. Fair enough some people actually would prefer a tougher life like that but for the most part, they are shielded from the hardships the local population has to endure.
Two comments here, just because: 1 - when someone says people in poorer countries are much more open and friendly, this comes from necessity. When you have very little, you need to share what little there is to survive. If you do not share, the next time you lack food (or money etc), no one will share with you. In a wealthy socitety you pay your taxes, knowing that everyone, including you. will be cared for when needed. Also, consider the difference between how you treat your neighbours and how you treat guests. 2 - This is a story of a guy that had a near death experience. During the time his heart was stopped, his soul was knocking on Heavens door. Gabriel told him it was not his time yet, but that he could take a look while he was there anyway, so first he was on a tour of Heaven. Lovely green hills,. cherubs (the cute angels) flying around playing ethereal music. But that was it, just an eternity of singing and praising the Lord. So he asked if the could se downstairs as well, and went to hell. Green hills, in the forms of golf courts. When he was done golfing, he bar was stocked with every spirit mankind had ever imagined, and the pool area was full of beautiful women ready to cater to his every whim. At this time, the man was resuscitated and returned to the realm of the living. Many decades later he once again was at the Pearly Gates,. and told that he had done well enough, he was welcome in. "Is it ok of I decline, downstairs was much better", the man asked. "If you really wish it so, but you will not be allowed back in again if you regret it." "No worries" thought the man, and down he went. The first week he was on the night shift cleaning the pool area. During the dayttime he was working in the cellar, stoking the furnace. There was no rest time for him, he worked all day and all night with no sleep. So he complained to the manager (we all know who that is?): "This is not at all who it was when I was here before." "Well," said the Dark Lord, "last time you were here as a tourist, now you came here to work."
Caracas has a crime rate of violent crimes like Europe had in the 1400s. When we were there in 2005, we weren't even allowed to stay in the city but were driven in buses to a tourist resort, because the city was too dangerous. It's incredible that they can be so clueless.
Dear sanity, that dude is such a hypocritical shit too. Not political? Literally is operating scammo crypto casino. An illegal activity in Russia with what is effectively a political statement going all in on crypto like that.

Self-centered is far too benign a term to describe these people. “As long as I’m okey-dokey while the others are getting shot, pushed out a window, poisoned, imprisoned or blown up, well, that’s just fine by me!” 😡
This is true of all nations, and all peoples. People mainly just want to live quiet peaceful lives, and are willing to submit to an authority, as long as the authority isn't too invasive of their lives. Lots of first world nations have committed sins, yet their people don't revolt, why is that? Are the people moral failures? Or is that just in Russia? Uniquely Russian problems?
That’s what I thought about them too. Hell, if they have something, or is something, they can give their services to Mother Russia with a FSB handler included.
I'm from Knoxville and I just want to say that this dude does not represent my hometown. I got a very good education in Tennessee and I have a great job with great benefits. I was not forced to listen to any of the crap that he is saying is shoved down his throat. The other guy who is American, if you watch the whole video, just wanted to hit on Russian women and have them serve him or at least that is what I got from the scammer.

That guy from TN seems like a conservative "incel".. thinking he'll breed with a white girl and preserve the white race,; as he failed with the liberal ones in the US.
I hold a degree in International Relations from a public American university. I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2012. No, I wasn't indoctrinated in "liberal" propaganda. Many of my classmates were openly conservative, with no negative consequences for that. Many of my professors were from places like Cuba and Iran, and they definitely didn't tow the American "woke liberal" line. That guy is full of shit.
@@mseeross considering that the guy claimed that this "liberal indoctrination" has been going on in American universities for the past 20-25 years, 2012 is recent enough to comment on his bullshit.
Lol I wonder which University? Obviously not ones in any major cities, where the woke virus has spread like wildfire. For example in Toronto Canada in my university, woke RTDs are everywhere. They even have a "black students only" group here. Plus as the guy mentioned, 2012? lmao. That's before the virus spread as much
@@Lavithz Healthcare is part of what people need, including me and you. In Europe (including Russia), at least, healthcare is free and pretty good (the quality of care does obviously depend where you live). If any disease is "easily curable" - e.g. an infection, then I can tell you that any of the healthcare systems in Europe and Russia will provide adequate antibiotics to treat said infection. This does get trickier when it comes to very complex and hard to treat diseases, unfortunately (but these are worldwide issues, sadly enough).
@@mabeSc hospitals in the United States are top notch and are on the cutting edge of technology which is oddly one of the reasons why healthcare is so expensive in the US. Even hospitals in rural areas you can receive top of the line treatment (which I have many times in those areas). Things like antibiotics and drugs are always ahead of the curve in the US because the US creates most of the new drugs and the United States is often first to market. As a result, the EU and other areas of the world get the benefit of being the second market which includes lower prices. The quality of care, technology, etc. isn't the issue in the United States; the access is the #1 problem.
@@chaost4544 I've never said that the quality of care or hospitals in the US is bad. Am also going to disagree with the US creating all of the new drugs. Europe launched the world into modernity in regards to medicines and medical treatment. A lot of the pharmaceutical giants that are funding new research and introduced various new drugs (even modern, widely used ones) are/were European (before being bought or introduced into US conglomerates). The guy responding to me thought I was talking only about food when I said "He ain't wrong" and that the state would let you rot away on top of not even having basic maternity wards - just reminded him that, even in Russia, healthcare is free...
@@crookcounty1978 I'd be very curious to know which instances of factual, structural and systemic black or "fEmAle" privilege you guys have to show outside of anecdotal experiences like that time when a woman (you know them as "females") was able to deny your advances and you were mad because you were nice to them.
I have lived on three continents and have had to learn five languages. All I can say is I love seeing these alt-right Americans moving to Russia. The more of these Americans move to Russia, the funnier the show will be. Can't wait!
People thinking that Russia is more free than America is like saying that North Korea is more free than South Korea. So sad to see the Nation which my family comes from has gone so far down hill. Its going to take a long time to get Russia back on track.
U saying that clearly proves u know nothing abt russia. Have u seen what russia looked like before? It looked terrible and there was almost zero infrastructure. If u go to any city or town in Russia u can see that it looks nothing like what it looked like 10 years ago and looks really modern and improved and projects are happening all over the country despite the war going on. And yet people still say that russia is not developing although its developing faster than it ever has before. Learn ur family's country better or visit before speaking.
The Tennessee kid is hilarious. Since 1776 we've had 45 Presidents, and yet America is the still here. I love how he is talking about Marxism and communism being the downfall of American education while speaking in Russia. Russian and it's predecessor the Soviet Union was renowned for it's ability to look objectively it's history. No repression at all during it's history or in recent times.
…do you think Russia is currently Communist? And no Marxism isn’t a “communist concept,” it’s the foundational intellectual material for most of what we think of as Communism; but it is entirely possible to engage in Marxist intellectual work without Communism (Marx’s work was mostly observation and description of Capitalism) and it’s entirely possible to be Communist without being Marxist (Anarchist Communists, for example). The kid is dumb but not for the reason you’re identifying.

I wish these guys could be honest. All they need to say is, "I'm treated better here than I am at home," and "The government's stance on family values align with mine." That's all they need to say.

@@flopunkt3665 You can have a traditional family. There's not a doubt about that. I think people on the right are uncomfortable about LGBTQ perspectives being taught in the classroom or included in media
i would say all of the guys in the video went to russia firstly for the women and everything else was an after thought.... me personally my dream is to have a russian wife ..i want to go to russia and find a beautiful russian woman and bring her back to the states and start a family with her.
Can I give you an old Cold War joke. A Russian and a American argue who has more freedom. The American argues, "I can go in front of the White House and give a speech where I call Eisenhower a "son of a bitch" and nothing will happen to me. The Russian says, that's nothing, "I can go to Red Square and give a speech and call Eisenhower a son of a bitch, and nothing will happen to me either".

He's just the dancing monkey to the long and subversive Kremlin waltz fed to him through his facebook media. Of course people will keep having him so long as he taps the tune.
This guy doesn't understand that the government sees him as valuable because he is a mouthpiece for their propaganda who can potentially be put on Russian media to demonstrate how "westerner white men escape America for safety and opportunity and stability in Russia". Some guy in the FSB watched the video from 1420 and immediately made a call to Perviy Kanal to see if they can get these guys on Solovyov. Of course people invite him to events because they can use him as a pawn or maybe even groom him to be a spy.

@@domerame5913 The so called ”woke culture” absolutely is a real issue in the West. It’s used to push for more and more moronic policies that harm these countries.

The level of Russian propaganda is also much worse than many Westerners realise.

What kinda freedom do you have in the US that you wouldn't have in Norway or Canada or Japan or Slovakia or anywhere else in the democratic world?? This freedom bullshit is literally the same propagandic nonsense slogan as "power to the workers / proletariat" was for the soviets. Freedom is an illusion and it's also very relative, and my fellow brainwashed americans are the living example of that. I suggest you travel to other countries, only then you will see the "freedom" you have in the US.
Amos ( the black guy) talking about the Woke is hilarious. He has no idea what the thoughts of most of people that complain about things being woke are about him🤣🤣🤣
Indeed! They can fight and die for "their" country, serving the "free" and conservative military of Russia! I've already heard that the Russian military has recruited some non-Russians to fight in Ukraine (although Ukraine itself is much better at convincing foreign volunteers to join them). Who knows? If these men visited Ukraine, perhaps the Americans in the International Legion of Ukraine can send their "greetings" to their countrymen!
Show me only one single Westerner, standing now on the Red Square, with a poster, where is written: „Peace in Ukraine ☮️ and International Understanding in a Liberal World🌈“ …if someone can show me this by only one person doing it for minimum one day, then i’ll believe that Russia is a free country!
This right here. Seen plenty of the so called "oppressed" people waving Russian flags, anti-LGBT slogans and the like in both Europe and the US. Meanwhile you get arrested for a blank paper in Russia. "More freedom" my ass.
The guy said "there are a lot more opportunities for young people in Russia". I was thinking: tell that to the young people who are on their way to the fr0nt l1nes in Ukraine.
Roman, I’m an American in Moscow and the big problem with this video is that all the foreigners interviewed are all MEN. The foreign women here in Moscow have MUCH different opinions 🥲 They need to interview foreigners other than these men who come here for “beautiful submissive and traditional Russian women”. The women do not agree with this bullshit I promise!!!!!
They show basically only those two dudes, so I assume they couldn't find better specimens, or selected them for their inanity. (As it is said: No one is useless, they alway can serve as bad examples.) While it would be interesting to see more reasons for people staying in russia during this time, I have to assume that some of them wither still have important things going on there or don't have the opportunity to leave at the moment. (Regards to Edward Snowden …)
That is a really astute observation. I just recently complained to another American friend (female) living in Russia that every Western blogger living here is bonkers. But I never noticed that they're all men.
I didn't come to Russia for the "women". I came to Russia for the opportunity, case in point, yesterday I won Sberbank's Blockchain hackathon. If you didn't come to Russia for the opportunity and the culture that's here why are you here? Why do you watch anti Russian TH-cam channels and still live in Russia? Cognitive dissonance much?
The complaints of these Americans in Russia boils down to "America isn't free anymore because I can't say the N-word or make gay jokes without someone calling me out. Also I'm hoping Russian women have lower standards 🥺"
Those mofkrs who are in love with Europe's Arkansas. Then stay in Europe's Arkansas my dudes nobody will miss ya if you want to live In a country where the president insults the intelligence of his people Everytime he rants about trannie parades or anglo saxons then stay in EU's Arkansas

I bet at least one of these wonderful Americans has an arrest warrant or a ton of debt collecters waiting for them back home. They left the US for a reason, and it might not just be about politics. If you ever study the backgrounds of the few American soldiers who fled to North Korea during the war, they all left family problems, poverty, and/or legal problems behind. The most recent soldier who ran into North Korea is exactly the same.
American society is built on debt. It's so ironic that you class criminals and people who have debt collectors after them together in the same sentence. That's the American way, get yourself in debt and pay it off, build your credit score and rinse and repeat. Keep consuming, it helps to keep the rich, rich and the poor, poor. In America credit is so important that you are lambasted and ridiculed for having a poor credit score and here you are, proof of that mentality. Being in debt isn't freedom, one day when you grow up you will understand that.

If God decided to punish me by dropping me in the middle of Russia and some random guy approached me and asked my opinion of Russia, I certainly would have nothing but good things to say. Especially if the conversation took place in a tea shop, on a table near the window.
I can see that. I'm sure that these guys in this video are well insulated from the trials of ordinary Russians. Plus they probably have a fairly good deal going. Low cost of living etc. Combined with the likelihood of them facing some blowback for speaking poorly about the Russian government, I wouldn't expect anyone to say anything negative about Russia's current situation. Still, it's hilarious to go above and beyond and to go on and make all those claims about the US being so repressive. That's probably why those two guys were probably featured so heavily.
Same here.. Hard agree.. Still their whine about US seems completely unnecessary.. I lived in US.. I chose my poor non EU Europe country (at least geographically), with lower salaries, but better benefits, and much, much cheaper cost of life and 40h work week over US, any day of the week..
Boy, have you nailed the Z Americans! We'd love to have you as a Russian American. America has always been about possibilities - possibilities you seem to see.
I swear the only thing these clowns say is "woke, woke, woke" like it means anything. I guess not hating gay, Trans people and minorities is woke and a bad thing to them.
Its just basically racist white christians.. in which the segregation era of white christian merica left behind or so, very evil vile era. As other pastors have qouted, "russia is a perfect breeding ground for keeping our white race pure". Since russians be soo white all the time. Its why they don't like the idea of people being alerted on how evil they are.. hence "woke". You don't need to be white.. you can be black, brown, whatever religion, its how the nazi's were, thinking they are apart of them. Conservative cultures work on obedience and authority. Hence why they prefer these type of cultures, when people are raised under it.

Being from Tennessee and going to Knoxville for university hearing this guy talk is craaaaaazy, Knoxville is one of the best schools in the south with some amazing teachers. Reminds me of when I took a Geology class there and one of the students got up and said "what if we don't think the earth is billions of years old" and the professor just told him you shouldn't be in college 😂 That's who I imagine these guys are. Hope they get hit with a dose of reality but having that american privilege in a different country can really shield you from how normal people actually live their lives. When I went to Colombia I felt so many privileges people that were from there didn't get it was really eye opening, I hope these people can open their eyes soon but I doubt it
I've been a professor for about 13 years now, and these guys talking about "woke ideology" "infecting" universities don't know what they are talking about. I don't know the political leanings of half the professors I work with, and most of them couldn't tell mine either. The only ones I was sure of were the diehard Trump supporters since they were the loudest about their beliefs. What I do know is that occasionally we get students who lived a very sheltered life and they sometimes struggle to adjust to the fact that most of what they know is not supported by data or facts. For example, my background is in economic history. I was covering antebellum tariffs, and one of my "proud Southern" students remarked about how tariffs caused the Civil War because "the North forced the South to pay the lion's share of tariffs". I pointed out that the North actually paid the bulk (over 80%) of the tariffs, which blew his mind since he had always been taught the opposite. Showed him the treasury archive records to prove it, so he pivoted to "well, tariff revenue isn't consumption. Northern ports collected more revenue, but then those goods likely made their way South, so it could still be true that the South shouldered the largest burden of tariffs." Good attempt and I applauded him for the idea, but then pointed out that because the South's population was 1/3rd that of the North, and half of that population were slaves who didn't consume much (if any) European goods, it wouldn't be possible unless the South consumed over 6 times more imported goods than Northerners. And we know from primary sources (records and statements from British and French merchants) that one reason Northern ports were preferred was the quicker access to the largest base of consumers, i.e. Northerners, who consumed far more imported goods than Southerners, who mainly relied on goods manufactured at home. We even looked at a list of the top imported goods into the US: wool, steel, tobacco, alcohol, and sugar. I pointed out that steel was clearly consumed more by the Northern factories and railroads, and thick wool winter jackets served little use in the deep South, and that the South had their own tobacco and sugar with little need of foreign imports. Indeed, tariffs on imported tobacco and sugar actually *helped* Southern farmers, while the tariffs on steel harmed Northern industries and consumers since it made manufactured goods and rails more expensive. Now, some students take in this information well and adjust their viewpoints to match the data. They realize they've been exposed to only one viewpoint and that the point of university is to expose yourself to new ideas and expand your sources of information. Happened to me too. I was raised in a very conservative and religious household, and being well-read, thought I was hot-shit and already knew everything. University crushed that arrogance and helped me realize the huge gaps in my knowledge. Other students, which I imagine these guys were similar, don't take it well at all. Instead they reject the facts as "woke" and even accuse their professors of being "woke" as well (when the vast majority are center-left in my experience). They don't learn much from university at all and purposely go through life ignoring anything that contradicts their views.
In addition to maybe not really understanding what life is like for most Russians, I also think just moving to a foreign country, especially when you are young, can be a pretty heady experience -- can feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland. I experienced this myself after visiting Japan as a high school student. I fell in love with the place, but it was only after living there for a few years later in life that I started to see how stressful and conformist the country was. I came back appreciating the U.S. a bit more.
Agree about Japan. I eas in love with Japan before i started working for a Japanese company in Europe and learning Japanse way of working/living. A lot of stress, a lot of presssure and even i would say opression.
14:00 what you're describing here rings some bell in my mind, we've looked at a math book from the NS times... Anyway short russian guy is reminding me so much to short austrian guy
Long time fan Roman and I agree with most things you said here but I disagree with what you said “westerners will never understand the hardships of poverty” as an American from the south I’ve grown up in poverty in underdeveloped areas where crime and murder is rampant and so have many Americans
I'm sorry to hear that but you can't compare Russia and USA at all. It is so much worse in Russia. You really should be thankful for being born in the USA.
I'd agree and disagree with both Roman and those guys. I've lived in Russia and Ukraine for many years (да, говорю по русский). I definitely can tell the US has changed a lot and the "woke culture" is taking over the country. It's not a question of hurting our feelings but in reality you can lose your job or get less opportunities if you don't fit their requirements. But in the other hand living in Russia as a foreigner is very different than living as a Russian citizen and yes you basically live in a bubble.
When i work with people from othet places, i ask a loooot of questions. My last job was awesome, i met people from lots of places. My boss was Romanian, who spoke often of a revolutionary war. Poverty. She did feel there was outside influence when i asked. She often bragged about a degree she recieved free due to her excellence in her field (engineering) Another guy was from Georgia, and he was the first to tell me the war was over western influnce of Ukrainian policies and the EU. He told me the main goal was to prevent Ukrainian EU membership. There was a very attractive girl from Crimea. What SHE told me was a lot of people miss USSR. She said her home had resorts and beaches and workers were treated with visits to relax and recuperate. She said they all spoke Russian , yet identified as independent. I can also say that all 3 had an incredible superiority issue. They kept to themselves, and were not shy about telling us how much better it is there vs here. They werent friendly to outsiders, and when they would show off pictures of their homes...the "beautiful " areas and landmarks...everything was always very plain, grey, stone, and unimpressive
a fifth of the population of Romania left as soon as they could after joining the EU because the corruption is so bad. They should never have been let in. Similarly Ukraine has a long way to go before its fit to join the EU.
«Educational system in Russia is better” me who cried 5 minutes after I woke up because of the thought that I had to go though all the horror at school again: “Really?”
To be honest, I must thank two Moscow universities for having learnt Russian to a level I could dream of. It's not that bad as long as you're self-aware of what you want to learn.
@@ДарийФедореев-э7т That reminds me of how some people assume everyone in Russia is Russian while ethnically linguistically and culturally Russian might be dominant it aint the sole Russian identity there are also Siberians and Caucasians
Btw he talked about how there's no racial tension in ruzzia. The only reason for that is that ruzzia almost completed its imperial project. It's minorities are so small and powerless and poor that it they don't have a voice to cause tension. DID EVERYONE FORGET THE CHECHEN WARS???
To answer you truthfully. Yes everyone forgets or doesn't learn about Chechen Wars. In fact I don't think wars about minorities were ever taken as a subject most of the time until it came about your nation which lived by one of a million circumstances. So yeah. It isn't closely studied enough to never repeat such tragedy ever again. Then again, people are maliciousness and use any justification no matter the morals, mentality, freedom or opinions.
@@tunahan4418 Sorry just that it doesn't really get commonly informed about. I just happened to be one of the people who didn't have their country informed of it.

I’m not a political expert, but the fact that most Americans who are critical of their government still stay safely in the US and have their careers intact, but Russians who are critical of their government are either jailed, “suicided”, or outside their homeland (like Roman) to save their lives should say something with how “free” Russia is.
@@reform-revolution Russia is exactly like the woke mob and radical left in terms of censorship and speech-related red tape. Like with China, if you want to say anything political of any kind, even critical of the woke mob, you need to wade through tons of bureaucracy and be lucky for a government office to approve your speech.
@@gasmaskmanne except its not ... Its as basic as it gets in terms of freedom America is roughly 60th on the freedom index Again better then russia and a lot of nations but we arent the freest by any measure
Your knowing glances to your audience when the interviewees make clueless statements are gold! Cracks me up practically every time. Thanks for lifting the curtain.
The irony is that if you talk to actual educators in the US, you'll find that while the woke stuff can get tiring, the real problem is, as always, state sponsored censorship, like in Florida. These people just don't want to have to live in a world where their is are challenged, they aren't actually about freedom.
The problem is that woke doesn't mean anything and never did. It's just people crying about women and black people in movies or gays in video games. And it's evolved into saying slavery was bad is woke. Mentioning Jim crow is woke, people should have proper rights and freedoms is leftist propaganda etc
@@MrInuhanyou123 woke is real. Identity politics is real. They are both taken to extremes and end up bad when done so as well. The thing is woke has been co-opted by the right as a dog whistle. I would say woke is recognizing the importance and relevance of subjective relativistic experience of others, which often looks the same as empathy. Just taken too far, it becomes silly and even destructive. For instance, to take it to an extreme, you can empathize with and pity the homicidally delusional schizophrenic, but still recognize it's better for everyone if he's monitored by professionals in a controlled environment. Woke taken to far is saying that poor guy should be let out and allowed to live his truth. The right goes to the other extreme and says only their perspective matters and empathy is for pussies. Wokeness, like capitalism, is good in moderation.
@@uppercueryan rampant, ethnic tension, violent crime, the fact that everything is on affordable, except for luxury goods, and frankly, if you get paid in US dollars and spend it in rubles your standard of living doubles. America is a horrible nation compared to Russia. Everybody mocks Americans until they need the checkbook to open up so they can lose the war against Russia in slow speed instead of instantaneously. SlavaUkraine, everybody because spending billions of dollars on a military operation 6000 miles away from many of the heartland of the United States it’s some thing the US has indoctrinated it people to believe in.
Thanks for bringing light to Daniil's 1420 channel. I've been a viewer of his for over 6 years during the start of my Russian language learning journey. His exposure has been amazing and so well-deserved. I also recommend "Street Talk," previously known as "Moscow Streets." Street Talk has been around since almost the exact same time as 1420 and have just as much interesting content available.
@@itemushmush No, he is completely neutral, the problem with Russian public is they're easily tricked. When you "agree" with them they won't shut down and stop talking. He is actually a very very skilled interviewer in this respect. Daniil is actually a centrist. Good question though!
You can't trust the street talk stuff, do not take it as their true opinion. Russians have every reason in the world to not speak truthfully. Exceptions do exist, but are quite rare.
Kara-Murza compared his case to show trials from the Stalin era.[96] In his closing speech before the court, he said: "I know that the day will come when the darkness over our country will be gone. When the war [in Ukraine] will be called a war, and the usurper [in the Kremlin] will be called a usurper; when those who have ignited this war will be called criminals instead of those who tried to stop it... And then our people will open their eyes and shudder at the sight of the horrific crimes committed in their names."[95]
Sometimes I think there are people that love living in an authoritarian system if the points align with their beliefs but if you confront them about it they him-haw around it with bs like what these guys said.
Please can we send Tim Pool? He is an avid Putin supporter and complains incessantly about US American tolerance for diversity. When these guys lose favor and privileges under Putin or his successor they will be asking for help from the US embassy. Thanks for your work, and I wish you the best!
Yes indeed; I saw the original video and several issues came to mind. On the one hand, I don't believe a foreigner should criticize the host nation, so great if these people are happy in Russia; on the other hand, criticizing their own country from abroad is more than crass if they still hold US citizenship. Finally, these Americans are really obsessed with wokeness. I can't remember ever thinking about this concept except when someone of their ilk, claiming to combat it, shoves it down my throat. You can navigate Western Europe fine outside abysses of wokeness.
But don't you find it strange that Roman is piling on these guys and accusing them of racism etc, when he has never lived in America and never experienced western culture 'up front'? He doesn't ask why these people are saying what they are saying, merely implied that they are Z supporting 'NPC's'. At least the Americans have lived in both Russia and America, in that sense their experience should lend itself to a stronger comparison.
@@mseerossThey are definitely "racist" they just don't know it. If diversity and inclusion are Marxist values you don't have values. They seem to think white people are being punished somehow. It is racist in a roundabout way.
@mseeross be honest bro, if you're also an American these people are woke obsessed and aren't reflecting life or culture here accurately when they say white men are being punished here.
I'm an American living in Thailand now and one common theme is that it's pretty easy to not really connect to local perspective as a foreigner, or to get swept up in one biased side of complex issues. These guys are clearly intentionally turning a blind eye to issues there, so it's just an extreme case. It reminds me of that TH-camr Serpentza saying how great China was, then flipping that to how awful it is once he was forced to leave the country. Communicating both perspectives gets TH-cam clicks, but there is a less black and white larger picture. The US has pros and cons too, they're just not well captured in these video statements.
@@AimForMyHead81 I get what you mean. there are a half dozen stereotypical categories of foreigners living in Thailand for different reasons, so really you need to push the potential implication flagging down a level, but it does kind of apply in different forms across most of them.
From Serpentza's perspective I'm sure China felt great when he was there in the early 2000's it was opening up to the west and coming from South Africa the opportunities had to be fantastic. Then things began to get more closed with Xi rising and anti west sentiment along with being a foreigner if you are critical the government there will harass you and he was eventually forced out. People just want to live their lives and have the opportunity to survive and thrive that's why plenty say nothing negative and some even get money from the government to push their narrative. It isn't right but then again as a foreigner what right do you have to involve yourself in a situation that at worst for you means deportation but for your local friends and coworkers could mean execution.
The expats living in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan usually talk about both the pros and cons in their TH-cam channels. But those expats living in china talk like cons don’t exist there. If they are not living in the white monkey bubble they must be straightly working for the Chinese propaganda agency 😂 I heard these days Thailand has surpassed china in many economic and technology developments and I wish there’s going to be real good expat TH-camrs in Thailand making real videos about Thailand like those in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan
Hi Roman, just wanted to throw this out there, you’re content in the last year has been killer! As an American it’s great to get insight on Russian culture and politics. Keep up the great work!
Roman doesn't provide an insight into Russian culture and politics, he is just trying to make a living on TH-cam by telling Western audiences what they want to hear about Russia. He is not any different from a US person who moved to Russia and is liked by the locals, because he or she is giving them "insights" on the American culture and politics that cater to their bias. Roman is trying too hard though :) I am not saying that he is not entertaining, but Roman twists a lot of things to further his narrative, thus giving people outside of Russia an inaccurate representation of the place. Point is, the man had left Russia because he was afraid of getting drafted. Nothing wrong with that, lot's of Americans fled the country during the Vietnam war for the same reason. Now he has to generate views, accumulate likes and ask for donations to eat and pay rent, so he sells what general populous in the West are eager to buy. Honestly, I think Roman's personal story will have a sad ending - he won't go back to Russia, not because "the regime" will prosecute him :), but because his country has changed since the beginning of the war, and people like him are now considered to be cowards, traitors, and generally a target for jokes and pokes for those who have stayed behind and are saying FU to the collective West. Now, that's only part of his problem, the second part is that no matter how much he works on his accent and tries to demonstratively separate himself from Russia, he will always be perceived as Russian :) Sad story, really, the man who is despised by his own "tribe" and will never be accepted as an equal into the "western tribe". Even his livelihood, this YT channel, can be taken way at any time if enough Ukrainians decide they just simply don't like him and report this channel for whatever reasons. It actually happens all the time, Ukrainians get together and gang up on Russian channels, even if just for sh*ts and giggles, and continue filling reports and that chanel gets shut. Just because we are the victims and Russian mofos are the aggressors :))) He is not alone in his anger though, all of the Russian liberals are facing the same problem now: no matter how loudly they scream that Putin is evil and Russia is sh*t, they are still outsiders, and not to be trusted and treated as part of the West :)
@@dmitry3909 How can you be sure of what you just wrote? You don’t have a window into Roman’s mind, we as viewers can trust him solely upon the basis of what he shares in his videos as he has done nothing to indicate that he is not being honest.
@@NaomiVirshboHe can sincerely believe in what he says. But I and many other Russians cannot help but cringe at what he says. And this is not because we are somehow wrong or washed out by propaganda, it is designed for our grandmothers and simply does not work, no, it’s just that there is a head on our shoulders, unlike Roman)
I love how people think America is so great and America does not kill innocent people and steal money and do shady stuff that American people would be sick if they found out. They point fingers at other countries and make up lies.
@@connectine Completely decontextualized. "Stay woke" is much more recent as it dates to the 20th century and it was brought back as both a legitimate slogan and as a meme. In the early 2010s you'd see tumblr posts and twitter screencaps of parodies of conspiracies punctuated by "stay woke my brothers".
America is generally more free in a political way but he's not wrong in that you MUST think a certain way or you get branded a bad person, even if your views are completely innocuous.
You get branded everywhere for saying certain truths, but for example: I can say on the internet that the king or prime minister here in Sweden is a POS. Nothing will happen to me. Try to say that about the psychopath dwarf in the Kremlin, if you're a Russian still in Russia.
If you think about it, they don't have more freedoms, they just have the freedoms they want, the Social freedom to openly speak agains the lgbt community, say the n word, stuff like that, and that freedom for them is more important than democracy or the right to criticize the government. Even though you have these freedoms in the west and the government won't persecute you for saying your opinion.
How can NFKRZ judge wether or not the RU is better or wrose than the US, when NFKRZ has never been to the US. Ironically, NFKRZ has always ended up showing Russia in a good light while trying to make it look bad.

What are you talking about lmao?? Russia indoctrinating children that “Putin good, Zelensky bad. If you disagree then you go dead” shows it in a good light?
I enjoy TH-cam travel videos and people on the street type interviews but I have noticed that many of the people and organizations doing them have a tendency to take whatever the person they’re interviewing says about themselves or particular issues at face value and then frame those narratives as “the real story” or some kind of infallible truth in contrast to a supposedly false narrative. It’s fine to get people’s perspectives but you can’t just assume everything an a person says is gospel. That’s especially true of people like this in the video.

These are the kind of guys who go on vacation in Venezuela and want to move there because they stayed in a resort. Life is great when you have all the benefits without any of the hardships that a regular citizen would face.
Basically the same as anyone that visits third world countries, praising the 'amazing culture' and how life would be 'soooooo amazing' there.
Fair enough some people actually would prefer a tougher life like that but for the most part, they are shielded from the hardships the local population has to endure.
Two comments here, just because:
1 - when someone says people in poorer countries are much more open and friendly, this comes from necessity. When you have very little, you need to share what little there is to survive. If you do not share, the next time you lack food (or money etc), no one will share with you. In a wealthy socitety you pay your taxes, knowing that everyone, including you. will be cared for when needed. Also, consider the difference between how you treat your neighbours and how you treat guests.
2 - This is a story of a guy that had a near death experience.
During the time his heart was stopped, his soul was knocking on Heavens door. Gabriel told him it was not his time yet, but that he could take a look while he was there anyway, so first he was on a tour of Heaven.
Lovely green hills,. cherubs (the cute angels) flying around playing ethereal music. But that was it, just an eternity of singing and praising the Lord.
So he asked if the could se downstairs as well, and went to hell.
Green hills, in the forms of golf courts. When he was done golfing, he bar was stocked with every spirit mankind had ever imagined, and the pool area was full of beautiful women ready to cater to his every whim.
At this time, the man was resuscitated and returned to the realm of the living.
Many decades later he once again was at the Pearly Gates,. and told that he had done well enough, he was welcome in.
"Is it ok of I decline, downstairs was much better", the man asked.
"If you really wish it so, but you will not be allowed back in again if you regret it."
"No worries" thought the man, and down he went.
The first week he was on the night shift cleaning the pool area.
During the dayttime he was working in the cellar, stoking the furnace.
There was no rest time for him, he worked all day and all night with no sleep.
So he complained to the manager (we all know who that is?):
"This is not at all who it was when I was here before."
"Well," said the Dark Lord, "last time you were here as a tourist, now you came here to work."
Caracas has a crime rate of violent crimes like Europe had in the 1400s. When we were there in 2005, we weren't even allowed to stay in the city but were driven in buses to a tourist resort, because the city was too dangerous. It's incredible that they can be so clueless.

This does get trickier when it comes to very complex and hard to treat diseases, unfortunately (but these are worldwide issues, sadly enough).
@@mabeSc hospitals in the United States are top notch and are on the cutting edge of technology which is oddly one of the reasons why healthcare is so expensive in the US. Even hospitals in rural areas you can receive top of the line treatment (which I have many times in those areas). Things like antibiotics and drugs are always ahead of the curve in the US because the US creates most of the new drugs and the United States is often first to market. As a result, the EU and other areas of the world get the benefit of being the second market which includes lower prices. The quality of care, technology, etc. isn't the issue in the United States; the access is the #1 problem.
@@chaost4544 I've never said that the quality of care or hospitals in the US is bad.
Am also going to disagree with the US creating all of the new drugs. Europe launched the world into modernity in regards to medicines and medical treatment. A lot of the pharmaceutical giants that are funding new research and introduced various new drugs (even modern, widely used ones) are/were European (before being bought or introduced into US conglomerates).

The so called ”woke culture” absolutely is a real issue in the West.
It’s used to push for more and more moronic policies that harm these countries. Media gets away with disgusting lies etc. etc.
That being said, it can’t really be compared to living under the Russian authoritarian system where dissenters and journalists are threatened, imprisoned and murdered by the state. The level of Russian propaganda is also much worse than many Westerners realise.

It is not difficult to think why Scott Ritter has found a safe haven from Russia when you look at his criminal record.
American society is built on debt.

In America credit is so important that you are lambasted and ridiculed for having a poor credit score and here you are, proof of that mentality.

I've been a professor for about 13 years now, and these guys talking about "woke ideology" "infecting" universities don't know what they are talking about. I don't know the political leanings of half the professors I work with, and most of them couldn't tell mine either. The only ones I was sure of were the diehard Trump supporters since they were the loudest about their beliefs. What I do know is that occasionally we get students who lived a very sheltered life and they sometimes struggle to adjust to the fact that most of what they know is not supported by data or facts.
For example, my background is in economic history. I was covering antebellum tariffs, and one of my "proud Southern" students remarked about how tariffs caused the Civil War because "the North forced the South to pay the lion's share of tariffs". I pointed out that the North actually paid the bulk (over 80%) of the tariffs, which blew his mind since he had always been taught the opposite. Showed him the treasury archive records to prove it, so he pivoted to "well, tariff revenue isn't consumption. Northern ports collected more revenue, but then those goods likely made their way South, so it could still be true that the South shouldered the largest burden of tariffs."
Good attempt and I applauded him for the idea, but then pointed out that because the South's population was 1/3rd that of the North, and half of that population were slaves who didn't consume much (if any) European goods, it wouldn't be possible unless the South consumed over 6 times more imported goods than Northerners. And we know from primary sources (records and statements from British and French merchants) that one reason Northern ports were preferred was the quicker access to the largest base of consumers, i.e. Northerners, who consumed far more imported goods than Southerners, who mainly relied on goods manufactured at home.
We even looked at a list of the top imported goods into the US: wool, steel, tobacco, alcohol, and sugar. I pointed out that steel was clearly consumed more by the Northern factories and railroads, and thick wool winter jackets served little use in the deep South, and that the South had their own tobacco and sugar with little need of foreign imports. Indeed, tariffs on imported tobacco and sugar actually *helped* Southern farmers, while the tariffs on steel harmed Northern industries and consumers since it made manufactured goods and rails more expensive.
Now, some students take in this information well and adjust their viewpoints to match the data. They realize they've been exposed to only one viewpoint and that the point of university is to expose yourself to new ideas and expand your sources of information. Happened to me too. I was raised in a very conservative and religious household, and being well-read, thought I was hot-shit and already knew everything. University crushed that arrogance and helped me realize the huge gaps in my knowledge.
Other students, which I imagine these guys were similar, don't take it well at all. Instead they reject the facts as "woke" and even accuse their professors of being "woke" as well (when the vast majority are center-left in my experience). They don't learn much from university at all and purposely go through life ignoring anything that contradicts their views.

In addition to maybe not really understanding what life is like for most Russians, I also think just moving to a foreign country, especially when you are young, can be a pretty heady experience -- can feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland. I experienced this myself after visiting Japan as a high school student. I fell in love with the place, but it was only after living there for a few years later in life that I started to see how stressful and conformist the country was. I came back appreciating the U.S. a bit more.
I lived in Hawaii when I was in kindergarten and first grade and it’s probably about as close as you can get to Japan without leaving the US.

I've lived in Russia and Ukraine for many years (да, говорю по русский). I definitely can tell the US has changed a lot and the "woke culture" is taking over the country. It's not a question of hurting our feelings but in reality you can lose your job or get less opportunities if you don't fit their requirements. But in the other hand living in Russia as a foreigner is very different than living as a Russian citizen and yes you basically live in a bubble.

When i work with people from othet places, i ask a loooot of questions. My last job was awesome, i met people from lots of places. My boss was Romanian, who spoke often of a revolutionary war. Poverty. She did feel there was outside influence when i asked. She often bragged about a degree she recieved free due to her excellence in her field (engineering)
Another guy was from Georgia, and he was the first to tell me the war was over western influnce of Ukrainian policies and the EU. He told me the main goal was to prevent Ukrainian EU membership.
There was a very attractive girl from Crimea. What SHE told me was a lot of people miss USSR. She said her home had resorts and beaches and workers were treated with visits to relax and recuperate. She said they all spoke Russian , yet identified as independent.
I can also say that all 3 had an incredible superiority issue. They kept to themselves, and were not shy about telling us how much better it is there vs here. They werent friendly to outsiders, and when they would show off pictures of their homes...the "beautiful " areas and landmarks...everything was always very plain, grey, stone, and unimpressive
a fifth of the population of Romania left as soon as they could after joining the EU because the corruption is so bad. They should never have been let in. Similarly Ukraine has a long way to go before its fit to join the EU.

Yes everyone forgets or doesn't learn about Chechen Wars.

I’m not a political expert, but the fact that most Americans who are critical of their government still stay safely in the US and have their careers intact, but Russians who are critical of their government are either jailed, “suicided”, or outside their homeland (like Roman) to save their lives should say something with how “free” Russia is.

Something tells me the crypto guy also does some Nigerian Prince work as a side gig.
The irony is that if you talk to actual educators in the US, you'll find that while the woke stuff can get tiring, the real problem is, as always, state sponsored censorship, like in Florida. These people just don't want to have to live in a world where their is are challenged, they aren't actually about freedom.
The problem is that woke doesn't mean anything and never did. It's just people crying about women and black people in movies or gays in video games. And it's evolved into saying slavery was bad is woke. Mentioning Jim crow is woke, people should have proper rights and freedoms is leftist propaganda etc
@@MrInuhanyou123 woke is real. Identity politics is real. They are both taken to extremes and end up bad when done so as well. The thing is woke has been co-opted by the right as a dog whistle. I would say woke is recognizing the importance and relevance of subjective relativistic experience of others, which often looks the same as empathy. Just taken too far, it becomes silly and even destructive. For instance, to take it to an extreme, you can empathize with and pity the homicidally delusional schizophrenic, but still recognize it's better for everyone if he's monitored by professionals in a controlled environment. Woke taken to far is saying that poor guy should be let out and allowed to live his truth. The right goes to the other extreme and says only their perspective matters and empathy is for pussies. Wokeness, like capitalism, is good in moderation.

Thanks for bringing light to Daniil's 1420 channel. I've been a viewer of his for over 6 years during the start of my Russian language learning journey. His exposure has been amazing and so well-deserved. I also recommend "Street Talk," previously known as "Moscow Streets." Street Talk has been around since almost the exact same time as 1420 and have just as much interesting content available.
am absolutely out-of-the-loop with him, but the way he was presenting their opinions seems that he agreed?
@@itemushmush No, he is completely neutral, the problem with Russian public is they're easily tricked. When you "agree" with them they won't shut down and stop talking. He is actually a very very skilled interviewer in this respect. Daniil is actually a centrist. Good question though!
You can't trust the street talk stuff, do not take it as their true opinion. Russians have every reason in the world to not speak truthfully. Exceptions do exist, but are quite rare.
Kara-Murza compared his case to show trials from the Stalin era.[96] In his closing speech before the court, he said: "I know that the day will come when the darkness over our country will be gone. When the war [in Ukraine] will be called a war, and the usurper [in the Kremlin] will be called a usurper; when those who have ignited this war will be called criminals instead of those who tried to stop it... And then our people will open their eyes and shudder at the sight of the horrific crimes committed in their names."[95]
Sometimes I think there are people that love living in an authoritarian system if the points align with their beliefs but if you confront them about it they him-haw around it with bs like what these guys said.

Yes indeed; I saw the original video and several issues came to mind. On the one hand, I don't believe a foreigner should criticize the host nation, so great if these people are happy in Russia; on the other hand, criticizing their own country from abroad is more than crass if they still hold US citizenship. Finally, these Americans are really obsessed with wokeness. I can't remember ever thinking about this concept except when someone of their ilk, claiming to combat it, shoves it down my throat. You can navigate Western Europe fine outside abysses of wokeness.
But don't you find it strange that Roman is piling on these guys and accusing them of racism etc, when he has never lived in America and never experienced western culture 'up front'? He doesn't ask why these people are saying what they are saying, merely implied that they are Z supporting 'NPC's'. At least the Americans have lived in both Russia and America, in that sense their experience should lend itself to a stronger comparison.

@@mseerossThey are definitely "racist" they just don't know it. If diversity and inclusion are Marxist values you don't have values. They seem to think white people are being punished somehow. It is racist in a roundabout way.

I'm an American living in Thailand now and one common theme is that it's pretty easy to not really connect to local perspective as a foreigner, or to get swept up in one biased side of complex issues. These guys are clearly intentionally turning a blind eye to issues there, so it's just an extreme case. It reminds me of that TH-camr Serpentza saying how great China was, then flipping that to how awful it is once he was forced to leave the country. Communicating both perspectives gets TH-cam clicks, but there is a less black and white larger picture. The US has pros and cons too, they're just not well captured in these video statements.
American living in Thailand? That's a major red flag 😂
@@AimForMyHead81 I get what you mean. there are a half dozen stereotypical categories of foreigners living in Thailand for different reasons, so really you need to push the potential implication flagging down a level, but it does kind of apply in different forms across most of them.
From Serpentza's perspective I'm sure China felt great when he was there in the early 2000's it was opening up to the west and coming from South Africa the opportunities had to be fantastic. Then things began to get more closed with Xi rising and anti west sentiment along with being a foreigner if you are critical the government there will harass you and he was eventually forced out. People just want to live their lives and have the opportunity to survive and thrive that's why plenty say nothing negative and some even get money from the government to push their narrative. It isn't right but then again as a foreigner what right do you have to involve yourself in a situation that at worst for you means deportation but for your local friends and coworkers could mean execution.
Serpentza did the right thing. In what world would you not flip your opinion if you are forced to leave the country you live in due to hostility?
The expats living in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan usually talk about both the pros and cons in their TH-cam channels. But those expats living in china talk like cons don’t exist there.

Hi Roman, just wanted to throw this out there, you’re content in the last year has been killer! As an American it’s great to get insight on Russian culture and politics. Keep up the great work!
Roman doesn't provide an insight into Russian culture and politics, he is just trying to make a living on TH-cam by telling Western audiences what they want to hear about Russia. He is not any different from a US person who moved to Russia and is liked by the locals, because he or she is giving them "insights" on the American culture and politics that cater to their bias. Roman is trying too hard though :) I am not saying that he is not entertaining, but Roman twists a lot of things to further his narrative, thus giving people outside of Russia an inaccurate representation of the place. Point is, the man had left Russia because he was afraid of getting drafted. Nothing wrong with that, lot's of Americans fled the country during the Vietnam war for the same reason. Now he has to generate views, accumulate likes and ask for donations to eat and pay rent, so he sells what general populous in the West are eager to buy. Honestly, I think Roman's personal story will have a sad ending - he won't go back to Russia, not because "the regime" will prosecute him :), but because his country has changed since the beginning of the war, and people like him are now considered to be cowards, traitors, and generally a target for jokes and pokes for those who have stayed behind and are saying FU to the collective West. Now, that's only part of his problem, the second part is that no matter how much he works on his accent and tries to demonstratively separate himself from Russia, he will always be perceived as Russian :) Sad story, really, the man who is despised by his own "tribe" and will never be accepted as an equal into the "western tribe". Even his livelihood, this YT channel, can be taken way at any time if enough Ukrainians decide they just simply don't like him and report this channel for whatever reasons. It actually happens all the time, Ukrainians get together and gang up on Russian channels, even if just for sh*ts and giggles, and continue filling reports and that chanel gets shut. Just because we are the victims and Russian mofos are the aggressors :))) He is not alone in his anger though, all of the Russian liberals are facing the same problem now: no matter how loudly they scream that Putin is evil and Russia is sh*t, they are still outsiders, and not to be trusted and treated as part of the West :)

I enjoy TH-cam travel videos and people on the street type interviews but I have noticed that many of the people and organizations doing them have a tendency to take whatever the person they’re interviewing says about themselves or particular issues at face value and then frame those narratives as “the real story” or some kind of infallible truth in contrast to a supposedly false narrative.
