In just 2 years he has understood India so well. Respect
Two Russians speaking fluent english and they are so sharp. Wonderful 👍👍
Is this something to brag about. Indians speak good English ...no one compliments them.
😔🤧@@ananyanegi9423
@@ananyanegi9423lol
@@ananyanegi9423 actually Russians do not speak English because it is an west language.
@@ananyanegi9423U don't have to be pessimistic, he's just complimenting
Very interesting Russian man. He knows Bengaluru.
You are doing the things as a foreigner in India which no one has done. I hope you get recognized for the love you have shown to us . Thanks Max. And your amazing guest.❤
Thank you 🙌
This guy really understood India than most foreigners and why Indian people have a warm attitude towards Russians
I'm currently in Russia and the taxi driver asked me...are there multi-storey buildings in India?😂😂😂
Similarly I was asked does india make windsheeter warm clothes fashionable ones 10 years back. today most of products you find in stores abroad made in India😊
It's not funny that we have marketed ourselves so poorly. We constantly feel happy accepting oscars and pulitzers for poverty documentaries and journalism.
You should have said we just had one multi storied bulldozer by Yogi Baba and he does it almost daily😂😂😂
In Mauritius a guy asked do your malls have AC. India is a very poor country as per him. He did not have much knowledge, India is helping Mauritius financially
Ha ha 😂 😂
As a civil engineer, and my father who was also a civil engineer, have studied many structural engineering books by Russian authors. Also, Indians are voracious readers. And many have read books like the Brothers Karmazov and War and Peace.
Also Asimov.
We had a Russian book called “Mother” when I was a kid in 80s that my dad was reading. Don’t know who the author is.
@@VG-bf9cy Back in the day, when my uncles were studying Engineering, they had a monthly subscription to Sputnik - the Russian space magazine.
200 years together by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and fourth political theory by Dugin are the extent of my russian reading for now. :p Excluding classics like you mentioned ofcourse.
@@VG-bf9cy Maxim Gorky wrote The Mother.
Yes you are very right friend....soviat union supported india....we never forget.....and we will pass this information and learn aor child to respect russian.
He is very accurate and precise while talking , thinking at twice speed before speaking
🔥
As an Indian, I find it funny how Westerns plundered India and since independence they call us "extremely poor"😅
India is not poor, it's just rank very much at the end of the economic spectrum, absolutely not poor
@@douglaswong6975You are same like the one he is describing
Gdp wise india may be rich but the majority of the population does not benefit from this.
At that time in history and for the majority of it, the strong looted the weak. Thats how it went. That was normalcy.
Ofcourse does not excuse the looting.
Sins of the parent are not the fault of the child.
It has been enough time since independence. Indian leaders are holding india back primarily, amongst all the other factors.
Love and blessings!
@@douglaswong6975 Douglas ....your daughter has married Bbc because average d size of your species is very small.
Exactly 😂😂.. Give us back the money those looters looted before bad mouthing abt my country.🤨
Max Mate, This Is Your one of Top 5 Interviews.
George Is Fantastic Person 🇷🇺🤝🇮🇳👍
Absolutely. George says everything indians wants to hear. It feels good
Amazed by the guest’s knowledge, research, reasoning. One of the best interviews on the channel
Можно сказать лучшее, автор канала, пригласите его вновь
Excellent Interview. Amazing understanding about India. Huge respect to him.
Ura Russia 🇷🇺 love from bharat 🇮🇳 ❤️ ♥️
One of the best videos of your channel...U r a great interviewer & know exactly what & how 2 ask...The observations by guest about Indian society are perfect... He's very talented, smart ... Indians love & trust Russia due to the past history when Rus helped us during our difficult times... Just help an Indian, individual in his/ her difficult time, and he/ she will never forget you... That's the part of culture...
i want to know your secret behind finding such a sharp minded individuals for these interviews , they are so articulate in presenting their view as if they are presenting a ted talk. kudos for your effort for bringing out this content to us
Very knowledgeable, well-traveled & well-spoken guest! I especially liked the comparisons with Africa and his observations about family, business and individual differences about the countries he lived in! 👍
Yes India is beautiful and for everyone's everything and everyone is safe , and india is very very very very cheap and affordable and advanced ❤ new india, ❤
India is not safe for a woman, even a small of woman to travel by themselves.
safe? yes, it's safe if you are a cow
India is not country 😂 it's union of States
It was more then 50 years ago that USSR helped India, we were really poor then as England looted and ruined us, with the war on west side with pakistan and US & Uk planning to attack from the the east side, but USSR sent its fleet to the east to protect India and till this date it is not forgotten. That is why, not being rude or anything, we also know attacking another country is not right, we Indians are supporting Russia even after they attacked Ukraine, sorry people of Ukraine, USSR helped us during our worst time, nothing against you.
And Ukraine helped Pakistan by fuelling their war planes while the Pakistan was in war with India, showing it's strong support to Pakistan.
India Isnt for beginners, extream poverty rate is below 1% even tho gdp is low still better then all, proud of my country 🇮🇳❤️
Please compare how poverty is defined here as compared to other places!
@@domovoi_0
World Bank, IMF etc have data on this
India is slum 😂
I accept we are densely populated and not as rich as the so-called "west" but this is the fact not a single disease is endemic or an outbreak from India . I don't want to barge about India , INDIA was, is and will be GREAT every Indian feels , believes, knows it. The world will know the sooner the better .
India is so great all the talented Indians have left or can't wait to leave the country.
@@aero.l iam a talented Indian still in India 😅 no plans of moving
@@msdolly6101981good we don’t want you to here sh*thing on streets
Born and lived in Uk my whole life. I am talented and I am moving to India from London, permanently!

Great video. Lots of thanks to you Max❤
i m from india......such a real image of india is portray ❤✅
Candid, natural and informative interview.
This is GOLDEN content. Thanks a lot Max. Love is who you are now.
My god he understood India more than a Indian..
❤ For USSR (Russia) love You dear Russian brothers and sisters ❤
Your editing is top-notch, Mr. Max. Really like your camera angles and other context-based snippets, graphics etc. that you insert in your videos.
🙏
Yeah its good study material. Editing that you don't notice is good editing.
Personally too many quick cuts for me in a few places.
Nitpick: mic noise floor. :p Love the bird sounds though.
We Indians in general, and the people of Kerala state in particular had a good habit of extensive general reading and we are familiar with all the prominent Russian writers and their books.
In the early 1960s there was a special drive in our state under the stewardship of Mr. P.N. Panickar, the then head of Kerala State Library Council, to set up libraries in each and every village under the local bodies . During that time, a lot of Russian journals & literary books of famous authors were easily available.
I think George has a good understanding of India, Indians and Indian culture. My 2 cents to this whole episode.
1. A अतिथि देवो भव | atithi devo bhav. This is one mantra which Indians have been following for ages, although there might be some decline to this because of nuclear family, modern western culture influence but still it very much relevant. Just to give you a sense of Indian psyche of selfless sacrifice. on an average if you visit any family in the country, even the family doesn't have much money still he will try to offer you the best he can have in house.
During the Ram mandir construction the board went to each and everyone. There was a poor lady and I she had a net worth of only Rs 20 only, literally she had nothing left with her. So she donated all the money the temple construction, the money collector refused to take the money. when the mandir was built, she was invited by the board to attend the opening of the mandir.
1. B Indians remember who were there during the hard times, so he will always find a support for Russia, Israel and there is a distrust for the USA, China and Pakistan for obvious reasons.
2. Compared to Europe, Indian environment is not good for health, unless you get used to it or get some vaccine. Almost everyone get TB vaccine/ BCG-vaccine because if you're not vaccinated then you will catch it and this is because dust is everywhere. India doesn't epidemic kind of situation for disease but still there are some pockets where you can find some infections. For example, you will get malaria, dengue etc. in some pockets of the country. Again, I lived in those area and didn't acquire it even once in my life. so how much aware you're will impact your health.
3. Indians are accustomed to the chaos and we don't find it chaotic at all. we just know which lever works, where. while crossing a road, we know when hand signal works and when we have to increase the speed to avoid the collision etc. Bikers, 4 wheelers etc. manages such situation, I think given the current system, ratio wise India must be having a lower accident ratio. (definitely India has higher accidental deaths in absolute sense).
4. Bargaining and discounts are the Indian way of life, specially Indian mom can get extremely severe discounts. Life if a street vendor is selling some jeans at Rs 1000, then any mom get it for Rs 300-400. Some holds for vendors, relationship matters.
Great conversation, nice video.
Nice interview
Great interview great insights thank u
very professional
Ohh god...he is just indian ..understands india very well...jst love him..grt
Max its all about values rituals and culture. India has rich heritage. India is blessed.
Completely agree with POV with Mr. George. He understood India and Indian very well. We love Russians. They helped us when no one was around. Wishing you happy stay in India. Thank you, Max for the video. Looking forward to such good content.
Excellent talk between to knowledgeable people. I'd wish that all russians was like this (go to Thailand and see for yourself). They are not, but here we are listening to two very clever and humble people. I love it. Chhers from Denmark
Another wonderful interview. This person understand more Indian than othe folks you inteview it seems with respective to professionalism
Good show.
George from Russia - Thank you for your frank views
I wish you were President of Russia
I loved his answer when asked about what's the meaning of life for him
Everything he said is on point. Fantastic observation. 👍👍👍
Супер 👍
Very good best of luck
Smart guy compare to so called expert foreigners who feels with biases.

Correct analysis by this gentleman

One of the best video. To understand India and Indians , one should watch it. I like the video.
Well you have targeted a very nice genre, you are pleasing whole India.
Круто, данного человека интересно слушать, я бы послушал бы вновь, но на Русском языке 👍
Outspoken super speech.

To Russia with love. Both you guys are really smart and speak English very well. God bless you'll. Have a wonderful stay in India.
Very interesting interaction. Nice to see that both have adapted to the Indian style of not wearing their shoes in the house. 😊
7:57 Thank you so much for this. Caring about these little things, It shows how much dedication and heart ❤ you pour into making these videos.
Happy stay in India ❤️
india seems amazing. I would love to spend a a a week there exploring
Our Government is doing better in every sectors, so our India is going ahead fast, I think, after 2030 our India will be changed completely, then no nation will hate India, Thanks for presenting this video, love and respect from WestBengal, India.
Lol. Bro, India need to increase it softpower through movies, songs, technology, education and many more. Also foreign media always show bad side of India. Until they show good side of India foreigners will always hate India
Vladimir Suteev, the author was part of curriculam for primary school story books. I am in my 50s but stll vividly remeber the illustrations 🙏.
I read his books now to my daughter
@@MaxChernov we also used to got to read free space magazines named 'Sputnik' from Russian Bhavan in our town. How can Indians ever forget the favours from Russians 🙏
I Really like how the Guest is taking out the Positive Aspects from small things of what he observed. it's true that West have to Change it's perception towards india.india has changed a lot in past decade and still constantly evolving towards Global power.
Beautiful video. I am a Bangalorean too
Omg this guy understood bangalore so well
❤
There are several options available if I search for the orthodox churches in Bengaluru on Google. However, I had no idea what an Orthodox church was. In any case, I truly enjoy your conversations with each other. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and transparency regarding Bangalore.❤❤❤
George is really a process and structure guy, so it’s easy to listen to him even though English is not his native language

Did he said 1.5 lakh. Price apartment. If its per month.
Thats way too much high i have ever heard.
Our house is 250 yards and our rent of one floor is 25000 Rupees 😅
wow..sounds like a tough boss ..you cant fool around
Hey @Max Chernov, curious what is demographic split of viewers of videos you create about India?
These are some amazing insights about India, and as an Indian, thank you for doing this :)
i think that too but it's quite good by foreigners india is 1/5th population of world world oldest religion 3.2M like European union but single country extremist government on 2027 3rd largest gdp country 4th powerfull military a. still low income country but 3rd ppp on 2040 -45 middle income country then take too high higher gdp like china did 👍👍you should no about india also actually i m indian but i don't know much about other states quite fascinating
Great episode. If your guest is reading the comments, there is a large community of Orthodox Christians in India. They are called Syrian Orthodox/Nazranis/Malankara Orthodox communities in Kerala. Since Christianity came to these communities much before colonialism, they have imbibed several local Hindu traditions into their traditions. I believe they have several churches in Bangalore too, if you want to explore it.
I would suggest you to make a specific video on UPI.
I left India forever and gave up indian citizenship .
I became Polish Citizen basically european citizen and life is heaven here
Good for you
This is called brain drain. :d
Its very true. I miss these bird coices in western countries. In india from the morning i see birds, their voices, i play with street dogs and cows. many times my street dogs sit with me when m in sadness because of some life challenges. they are so lovable that they understand m not happy today. they try to give me hug and cheer me up. i miss that in west. I literally had 18-20 dogs waiting for me everyday in India around my home 😂😂
There are Indian orthodox churches in all major cities, and a good number of christian population in Kerala. And allmost all people in the northeast are Christians , protestants.
There is a armenian Orthodox church in Kolkata. I went there 6. January for Christmas service.
I m living in Kolkata.
I guess Russian Orthodox is different from Syrian Orthodox. There is even Serbian and Greek Orthodox, but they all seem to have their own distinct churches.
Goa too 👍 goa is Christian majority state
@@raaziya2839 So ? What has Goa being a Christian majority state got to do with anything. Goans are mostly Catholic - far from Orthodox Christians.
This Russian understands the situation in India very well. Instead of subscribing to clichés, he seems to have reasoned out various things and come to unique (but true) conclusions
It is great to hear from George about his perceptions about his experiences in India, especially Bangalore. He is bang on! kudos!! About Orthodox Christians in India …. Oriental Orthodoxy in India comprises millions especially in Kerala and Tamil Nadu with large number of Orthodox churches across major and minor cities where Keralites reside. The Indian Orthodox Church or The Malankara Orthodox Church is the main Orthodox denomination in India. This is an autocephalous Oriental Orthodox Church headquartered in Kottayam in Kerala. They have very close relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church. There are more than 15-20 Orthodox Church’s in Bangalore, including Indira Nagar.
It's bengaluru halka bevarsigala
Russians who want to do international trade but are constrained from doing it from Russia due to sanctions by the west can consider starting a business in India. We consider Russians as friends just like we consider Israelis as friends. Tibetans are more than friends. We have cultural affinity with them. Chinese are more like competitors. There is only one country we consider as our enemy and I think the whole world knows which one.
Nice, India and Russia always very good friend.
Even i also read russian books, during our childhood time many russian used to visit our school
Thank you Max for doing this. I Really enjoyed this interaction! I am from Bangalore and as a child I remember that there was a USSR Festival in Bangalore in 1987 and I had been to some stadium to witness that. I had never seen such grandeur in terms of clothes and ballet performances. It was spectacular!!
You are from North india, not bengaluru. Bengaluru people are only kannadigas.
You are not from Bangalore 😂😂 you are migrant from North India 😂
India and Russia is great friends ❤❤❤❤
Some Indian Catholics, the Kerala Mar Thoma, are older than European Christianity.
You must mean the syrian orthodox community.
Very important point mentioned at 20:55, The biggest difference for the Eastern and Western cultures is their concepts of Time beliefs. Hinduism, which is the philosophical origin point of almost all Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, and many smaller religions, treats Time as cyclical. Kāla Chakra is a frequently occurring term in everyday conversation of Hindus, meaning the cycle of Time. The Sanskrit term for the Universe, Brahmānda, conceives of the Cosmos as an egg. The Sanskrit term for the material world, Saṃsāra, itself means ‘the cycle of birth and death’, as opposed to Nirvāṇa, which means liberation from this cycle.
India is Country of Peace-loving, Caring,Community living Nature---Be it Fellow Mankind OR Nature,example you were talking about Wild Lives' presence even in the heart of the Bustling City like Bangalore and Also You'll experience in many Modern Cities- May sounds strange !!Love n Enjoyed Your Frank & Meaningful Conversations For World To See❤
Welcome to your brother's Country 🙏🇮🇳🙏🇮🇳
One of the reasons why most of the Indians have basic knowledge about Soviet Union is, till 90’s Russian literature of all types from Maxim Gorky, Leo Tolstoy to Karl Marx’s Das Capital used to be published and distributed at discounted rates in all major Indian languages by Progressive Publishers, Moscow. In fact it has had more impact in people to people relationship of both India and Soviet Union.
you should interview mariechug if she's here. She's travelled almost all of India and lived for a few months. Also, she's the most cheerful person you will come across.
Она не сможет высказать то, что сказали тут
Look at Syrian Christian Orthodox in Kerala... very similar..they go back to St Thomas who traveled to India.
No Russian service.. mostly Malayalam..some in English
Orthodox Christianity is orginally from Greece
Have grown up reading Russian children story books like Misha, Sputnik etc.in 80's as well. 🙋
India is nt poor its temple nd gurudwars can feed the whole homeless nd hungry people of west .
When you cross the road you should look left and right. Its a fact especially in big cities people are more focussed about reaching their destination than following traffic rules seriously 😂...also a proof of how densely our cities are populated.
We Really need to solve our hygiene issue.
You should go to Bethel AG international church , which is in Bangalore. You will really enjoy a lot.
