I saw you made a video with Natasha from yeah Russia just a few days ago too! What a week!!!! Like your videos. Your boyfriends Russian is amazing, he sounds Russian, it's incredible.
You should try doing it in reverse, go over to the UK and try speaking Russian, lol. If there's one place in the world where no-one is going to try and understand it's the UK. It's almost a badge of pride that you haven't got a clue what anyone is saying in a foreign language. You're too young to remember it but back when I was a kid there was some comedian who used to actually do that, I'm not sure if he was Russian but he spoke Russian and he used to go around doing Russian things and people thought he was bonkers. The one I remember is when he goes into a pub and says: "Можно мне пожалуйста водка." And the bar guy understands "vodka" and pours him a shot of vodka and he starts going through all the Russian toasts "за ваше доровье" etc. then "ещё раз", points at the glass for a refill and then he gets to one where he throws the glass into the fireplace and they think he's gone mad. He used to pretend he was a Russian sailor, iirc, he'd wear a тельняшка. No doubt it's somewhere on TH-cam. (I doubt any Russian would ever actually do that though.)

@@ElifromRussia Thanks for both of you, that was interesting!
Got a question: I wonder what they learn about the WW2 in UK, specifically if they know anything about the Eastern front?
Would be interesting to watch you both react together to this super popular video on TH-cam called The Fallen of WW2 by Neil Halloran (if you haven't seen it yet).
I am a 68 year old American and took the Russian language in high school..my very best subject.
Nice meeting with two tea nations..😄🫖🫖🇬🇧🇷🇺
Hi Eli, I am a software engineer from Austin, Texas USA. I often have TH-cam playing on my Television as background noise while working from home and this lead to running across your channel. I enjoy learning from your content and feel you do a great job of not only showing the cultural differences of Russian's and other nations but also just how similar we all truly are. Keep up the great content.
If you are visiting Moscow or St Petersburg with little Russian, its fine. If you are living in Moscow/St Petersburg for a while, or visiting other parts of Russia, learning Russian is important. English is barely spoken outside major cities
I think it's right to learn the language of the country you intend to live.
I guess this problem doesn't exist anymore now.
@@YannR34 why???
@@soumyaranjanpatro1131 because there is many more places I would like to visit before to go to Russia now.
It would be like, just before North Korea, or some others, same "style", countries. And I doubt I will have opportunities to see all the others before. I bet that tourism in Russia will not be a major issue in the coming years, decade(s) maybe.
@@YannR34 russia is nothing like north korea lol. The fact that people there can use social media and are free to enter and exit the country already makes it very different
Eli, your blogs are always interesting and informative with diverse content. You would make an excellent talk show host.
I cant believe what happened in Perm! Lots of love, prayers 🙏, and warm thoughts coming to you from all over the world.
I love how whenever girls 'talk' they always giggle. It's so cute.

@@ElifromRussia Priveyte Ruskiy Kak Dela?? Its nice to see you Laughing so Cute @Eli from Russia
This vid is a feline OD.
Feminine girls like this, yes. It's one of the marvels of the fairer sex, that warm feminine energy! Very light, laughing often. Compare this with the dour-faced stooges in say the USA or even parts of the UK, where their femininity has been stripped by feminist brainwashing and such nonsense. They no longer laugh! Sad to see.
@@harrypike5140 Are you alright?
Kat is adorable 😂 I’m from Russia but I live the United States. Russians absolutely love when you try to talk to them in English. When I lived there, I used to be so excited to finally be able to practice my English IRL. Russians love western tourists cuz I think a lot of us romanticize places like England and the United States.
who'd you move to the states?
@@thedmitryguy like...a lot of people? US is number one destination for immigrants
@@slava8617 I meant, HOW'd you move to the US
@@slava8617 sorry for the confusion
Wow!!. My two favourite bloggers in Russia in a collabo. These was very interesting indeed Eli. Much love from Botswana, Africa.
Very professional Eli, you really look like a TV host. As usual you look so elegant and refined. I'm glad you brought us gorgeous Kat again she is just adorable.
That was a fun experiment. The Russians seem to be a helpful people 😃❤️👍
I don't know wether they changed after the fall of Soviet Union or not. I still have this warm feeling about my stay in Leningrad and my experiences there. It was in 1969. I just arrived to study Russian at Leningrad Politechnical Institute .
I was at the Metro station trying to figure the system and what trains to get to my destination. I must have looked lost. I was. Ha ha ha.
Suddenly 2 teenage girls (14-15 years) approached me and offered their help. I was able to explain to they my destination. Without any hesitation they dragged me into the next train. We had many stops to change train lines. Leningrad's metro system is very elaborate and I believe the best and cleanest in the world.
Sorry, I live now in the Washington DC metro area. You call this a metro system? Lmao.
I was not even expressed by NY metro system. Sorry, let's go back to my story.
I suspect it took them 1 to 1 and half hours to bring me to my destination. At least same time to go back.
It's 52 years since then. I did not forget their kindness and never will.
When, later, any of my Russian co-students at Moscow Energy acted Institute acted funny I was quick to forgive them for the sake of those wonderful little girls.
"Shakespeare is boring", yes if you already read Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy then you really know how great Russian literature is, actually there are many people try to learn Russian language after reading Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy, so I encourage you to read them, they're really worth reading and eye-opening !
I read Dostoievsky and I converted to Orthodoxy :-D So what you are saying is true.
I haven’t read any Tolstoy, but I’ve read some some Dostoevsky and found I love his genius. My favorite of his novels so far (still reading through his works) is The Double. Tolstoy is on my list too. His works and genius have made me love pre-Soviet Russian literature.
Anna akhmatova " Poem with no heroes", she was a survivor of Stalin.
My English teachers always said Shakespeare would find it funny that his works were taught to children because a bunch of them are comedies with stuff like dick jokes, just in an older dialect of English
Come on Shakespeare boring? It was biggest influence on writes and play rights the World over! However your right Russian writers like Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, aren't so well known outside of writers and actors!
This was such an awesome video to watch and the two of you really collaborated so well together! It was also very informative! Thank you both!
She smiled a lot when asking Russian people for direction. Hopefully the Russians don't think she is crazy. I like her confidence! Good job!
I'm investigating for my channel covering life in Russia, it's about 4 years old and also I have about 200 videos yet the algorithm sill hasn't loved me yet as it did Eli. Can you help me? Can you take a look channel and see what is missing because I really want to improve. Almost everyone who views my videos leave incredible comments about how much they like my content
Hmmm...so smiling in Russia makes you seem "crazy"?
@@AK49IAN Only smiling at strangers
@@AK49IAN they don't have the same facial muscles as everyone else. They're physically unable to smilr
The last part of the video where you test English on the streets of Moscow is genius. I could watch this for hours. Probably exhausting to do and film, but I would love to see more of this!
I really enjoyed this informative conversation from two genuine and charismatic people.
So great; awesome memories! Thank you! :) I spent the last 2 weeks in Petersburg in excactly these situations. But we always figured a way out in russian / english / even german. So much fun! Great time.
Eli has a very good channel,always entertaining,and informative,she is an ambassador for the way the world should be
Elly ,You blog was so educational for me ,i was never taught much about Russia in school.I really enjoy watching it I think you are very creative, thank you for all of your hard work .I have learned so much about Russia because of you.😎
Your videos are very interesting ! I'm learning so much about your country.
Russian landlords aren’t as intimidating as I thought 😂
Mr ditkovich is scarier 😂
@@ElifromRussia search on TH-cam, mr ditkovich wants rent 😂
@@AusValue you are 2 months late, AGAIN!
Thats why the women like foreign men apparently. They were complaining about the ukranian men in other vids
It brings me joy to hear these two talk.
Здравствуйте Ели. Я Пол и я англичанин. Я изучал русскую историю в школе. Ленин, Сталин ……….. скоро я буду жить в Питере. Спасибо за твоё видео 😊
So much fun to watch:) I dream of visiting Moscow one day and this video was helpful with showing me how it would be as an English speaker. Dostoyevsky is a wonderful writer unfortunately here in Canada we learned nothing of Russia. I am particularly interested in Russian culture especially the arts. Dance, language, and especially music. I really enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing.
CBC is a total trash and russophobic media.
Go to UBC
I'm American but I feel the same way
Moscow is a brutal hellhole. If you are open-minded, the people will think that you are a weirdo.
Eli, you are a Star. You are so creative and have a pleasant, approachable and positive personality. Keep it up! A little feedback about the sound quality, not sure why but it wasn’t the best (some echo?). Anyways, that’s it :).
In the bigger cities of both Russia and Ukraine it is amazing how many people speak excellent English. You can be trying to indicate to a sales person what you are looking for, and suddenly hear someone nearby say, "If you would like, I will try to help." That person then proceeds to help immensely.
Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Pasternak, and Solzhenitsyn ought to be required reading everywhere! ♥️🇨🇦
why you put Solzhenitsyn here
@@aur485 : IMO, Solzhenitsyn` s "Gulag Archipelago " is an essential read because it provides insights into brutal totalitarianism, Comunist type. I considerate it a serious warning for Americans, because the Democrat Party is taking America in that direction via "feel good" ideas and policies. One day, we Americans will wake up and .... well, read the book.
@@meteor2012able It's fairytale, fiction. Brutal totalitarianism has been and is in America.
POLITE PEOPLE are in Russia; and these interviews are amazing content for a British audience! / / \ \ Keep up the great work!
Hi David, I'm investigating for my channel concerning life in Russia, it's going on 4 years now and I have over 200 videos yet the algorithm hasn't promoted me so far as it did Eli. Can you help me? Can you take a look channel and see how I can improve because I really want to improve. just about everyone who found my videos leave brilliant comments about how much they love my videos
Just don't cross Putin or you will be poisoned to death
I always wondered about the "w" and "v" distinction, because my family from Eastern Europe have no difficulty making either sound, but they reverse which words they use them in. Same thing for the "ee" sound versus "ih" sound. I feel like they speak English better than me sometimes, though, because they use more precise wording and are more careful about pronunciation. And the accents are so beautiful. I've heard an American accent does not sound so pretty when we speak other languages.
As a child growing up watching US TV, it took me a while to understand the UK accent and their choice of English words.
Eli, what a great video! This makes me want to travel to Russia even more now 😃😃😃😃
In school in France, we had almost no Shakespeare, but we did read Tolstoy's war and peace and also Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment as well as some German authors in addition to French authors (and English authors, too, just not much foreign theatre, only French theatre.)
We also studied the Grand Inquisitor in philosophy class.
When I was at school…some years ago now. Russia came up in geography and history. We learned about superpowers, USSR, the Cuban missile crisis and a lot about WW2 and The USSRs part in that.
History seems to be taught really badly in the UK, but did plant the interest in me because I love history now!
Let’s not discuss foreign languages in England - we don’t even learn other British languages like Welsh or Gaelic let alone Russian!
Ого! Модные ютуб-девчонки, говорят о насущном.. Радует одно - мне кажется, мы "о них", всё-таки, знаем больше, чем они о нас.. Рано или поздно, это будет нашим конкурентным преимуществом :)
I feel sorry for your landlord, maybe can include him in the next video so he can be a famous TH-camr too haha
Hi Eli, I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos. Your channel is very good ^^/
Very nice video, Eli, very interesting and informative. Thanks.
You must do a video on navigating the Moscow Metro. I loved visiting Moscow and found the Metro easy to use. But some visitors found it daunting.
I definitely enjoyed this vlog with Kat Sullivan, You guys are really good together, You Eli took Kat of the hook from buying a chain saw😎
@@ElifromRussia Yeah I saw that and you came to the rescue, obviously Kat living in an apartment does not need one.
I was impressed on how many people actually helped.
The walk in the city asking the people in English was funny))
A little throwback to my own vacation in Moskva & Peterburg. Although i was able to get around just fine.
Activating my phone in Russia was the most difficult thing for me because i forgot to inform myself in advance. Totally forgot !
I really enjoyed that interview. Excellent job. Thank you. 🙏
Nice and cool entherview
Greetings from Brazil
As far as I am aware the 'th' sound comes from Scandinavian, and the Thorn and Eth letters (that would represent the voiced and unvoiced 'th' in Old English) still exist as distinct letters in Icelandic. No mainland European language, as far as I am aware, has those sounds.
Spanish does, I think?
I'm Scottish and live in a small town in the south of Russia. My experiences Vs Kat in Moscow is pretty large, I think in Moscow it's more easier to get around since it's more of an international city
It’s like comparing Edinburgh with Arbroath
Hope your experience of Russia in small town is not much worse than in central regions !! 🤔 Mostly people see Moscow and think that Russia is all the same everywhere ... It is as stupid as thinking that US is the same everywhere as in New York.
I already watched this video before, but I just saw the news about the shooting in Perm and wanted to share my sympathies. I hope no one you know was affected. Much love from New Zealand.
Thank you. A very interesting video. Yours always are.
At 25:00 minutes the young and others were very friendly when trying to explain where was the metro.
Very nice video Eli. Best of luck!
Fascinating culture! Thanks Elina
Eli ! You are making interesting videos. Thank you.
Great perspectives, thank you.
In America, many students do not read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky or Chekhov until we are at the University, but some of us read them in high school if we are advanced students. Sometimes the literature we read is a choice. In high school I read "Don Quixote" in Spanish and then in English, but it was my choice.
What a beautiful video. I always wanted a video on this topic
Great video. Thanks Eli!
Hey Eli, I was watching on TH-cam “ The Largest SuperYachts of Monaco Yacht Show,” some extremely rich people are in the video, one lady was wearing a shirt just like the one you have own. You wear it well and could fit right in among the richest people in the highest society. The way you present yourself, your wonderful personality, education, mannerisms, taking care of yourself by physical exercise, you could marry a Prince and make him very happy. I hope you do find your Prince Charming someday if you haven’t already. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
This is a great video !! Please ...more , more, more !!
Hi Mate, I'm researching for my channel covering life in Russia, it's 4 years old and I have about 200 videos yet the algorithm sill hasn't promoted me yet like it did Eli. Can you help me?

Hope your TH-cam channel becomes the TOP 10 TH-cam channel because , world needs beautiful Russia to be shown for people around the world . Russia has wonderful art and culture . Russia has a rich ancient history . WORLD AND INDIA LOVES RUSSIA
I grew up in germany and learned the language with my family (half american, half german) but settled down back in the states. when I would visit germany and spoke in german, they detected my rough german and answered back in english. lol. I speak well enough to get by but i'm getting rusty now that I haven't used it in so long since my grandparents passed away. Last time i was there was 2003. love your channel.
Thank you. Very educational.
😄😄😄👍🏻I really liked the last part of the video, kat was great!!!! A fantastic video Eli, I really liked it!!! 😊😉😉
@@ElifromRussia 😄😄😄👍🏻Super
I wish I could be there with you. When people asked "do you speak English" I really should have been there.
In my Grammar School in Essex, in the UK in the 1960s we learned French, German, Russian, Latin and Greek, but now, I believe that I'm correct in saying that there is no compulsion to learn a foreign language, which I think is disgraceful, but not really surprising, for the attitude I hear from kids in the UK is, "why should I bother when every country speaks English".
I think that Europe is better off without us.
As a Portuguese, it makes me sad that the UK left the EU. We've been brothers and strong allies for like 500 years or so
Clever exercise on the street - creative informative channel - thank you!
I'm researching for my channel about life in Russia, it's around 4 years old and also I have over 200 videos however the algorithm sill hasn't found me yet as it did Eli. Can you help me?

Eli and kat I enjoyed your chat it was very nice and educational lots of love girls 😘😘
The street segment was great
Delightful! And very interesting. Your channel, and Natasha's (Yeah Russia), and a few others have certainly given me new appreciation for the Russian people.
I love these videos and typically have no trouble hearing them. This one though is particularly hard to hear. Since I see no audio pick-up equipment clipped to clothing, I assume that equipment is in the foreground. Perhaps that distance is giving the reverberation effect being heard here. That, or this older set of ears here is the issue.
I agree Eli. The sound on your other videos was so great it was disappointing this one didn't work as well.
🙏❤️❤️🌲🌲🌎 keep our world green and love everything and everyone ❤️🙏
The atmosphere is so cool
Hi Eli, great video. Very Elegant outfit and congratulations to your hair dresser ! From my personal experience, many native English speakers have problems pronouncing the Russian letter -X- . And yes, Moscow is not cheap, but I heard that it can be a lot fun 😊
You are wonderfull, both of you. Keep up the good work.
Your "Landlord" is way too soft hehehe... Kat is sooo cute... as well as you too Eli...!! An interesting experiment about the percentage of people able to speak English in Moskow, I could tell maybe 1 out of 10, do speak English or at least try in this video; when I visited Moskow in 1995, I hardly found 1 person that could speak English out of 20 or more that I asked to. That time I got to the airport by "Miracle" virtually...
Holy cow; in high school (as a Senior, in USA, Alabama) we had to read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn -- great authors but they took SO LONG to read (and the NAMEs, oh my).
We students were terrified of English class that year!
We were told that the brothers in Brothers Karamazov are common Russian archetypes. Do you agree?
Absolutely not! I’m telling you this as a Russian.
You're both so cute.Thank you.
9:34 Russian literature has never been on the English school curriculum. Unlike in the USA we only study books written in English in our English classes (in the United States where they do sometimes study great Russian novels in translation, I have heard).
The only chance to study foreign literature at school was if you took French or German A Level. Those were the only foreign languages available at my school. (This was back in the 1980s by the way 🤪!) Spanish was a pretty rare language in schools (I would have liked to do Spanish).
The only other language I ever heard of being taught in state schools was... wait for it... RUSSIAN🤪 but this was pretty rare. I would have **loved** to learn Russian. Russian literature is the best in the world (in my opinion) and I was fascinated with life in Eastern Bloc countries.
I finally started learning Russian a month ago, but all I can say so far is спасибо, большой, хорошо, телевизор and хомяк🐹‼️
the street questions was so funny to watch, i had the same issue with my near zero russian. i could find people with pretty rough english but i did also experience many more people who didnt speak english at all. I found the younger people spoke English a bit more. Im doing my best to speak russian so when i return to moscow i can meet more people
Nice way how you ended an interview which turned into a social reaction experiment!
Tolstoy, Chekov, Dostoevsky and other classic Russian authors are generally studied at university level in the main English-speaking countries - UK, Australia, New Zealand, US etc.
How about you guys make a video of Londoners speaking Russian, or any language other than English? I wonder how would that turn out :)
I think Russians were very friendly and helpful, and spoke English well enough to help a foreigner in need.
The young lady you interviewed obviously hadn't read any Russian literature but I, and my friends at school and University, were familiar with & had read works by Tolstoy (definitely regarded as one of the world's great authors), Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn and TV when I was young had plays like The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya & The Three Sisters (Checkov) from time to time - and those plays are performed in theatres frequently in the UK.
Russian composers are well known in the UK.
So some Russian culture is known here..
Good video though!
there are two types of verb in English: regular and irregular. Regular verbs subdivide into strong and weak verbs. "to be" is irregular but "to swim" is regular but strong. Germanic languages follow these rules. Swim, swam, swum [German: schwimmen, schwamm, geschwommen]. The changes in the vowels are regular. There are many examples. As an example of a regular weak verb: cook, cooked, cooked.
I like Your 'Talk Show Format' !
I am Croatian and I can speak some words in Russian. My favorite words are: Gopnik, Hardbasseri, blyaaat and Privet. Spasibo🙏🏻
Hi! I'm russian) what is hardbasseri???😂
@@nevagerber2434 I am not Russian but I did study at московский Энергечитский Институт имени Ленина and speak Russian. This word does not look or sound Russian. I think our Croatian friend has invented it. By the way he also mentioned bilaat as a Russian word. I think he meant blyad Блядь which is Kurva in Cerbo-crоatian.
He also wrote Gopnik. I think he meant Gornik. He mixed the Russian letter R (written as P) with Latin/English letter P.
Gornik (Горник) means mountaineer.
@@ab1858 No, gopnik is a russian slang word, it's like bandit in Russia but they also have sort of subculture compared to regular bandits and thugs.
@@JOHNVS7 I still don't think there is a Russian word Gopnik even in slang. But, hey, the only Russian person here is Neva, I would like her to clarify.
I love Eli channel.
I love this channel. Russians always seemed so cold to me me. I’m very patriotically American but I love world culture. It’s awesome to see a Russian that is just a really nice, happy, smiling person. We would gladly accept Russian friends in America, just not so sure how much Americans would be accepted in Russia.
But this definitely makes me want to visit Russia - the people actually seem so nice
Americans are being brainwashed on daily basis about Russia and other countries. The USA media are just terrible.
@@pstrazz8 Russians will treat you like family if they get to know you and like you. But just walking up to a Russian in the street smiling and saying hello and you'll typically get a cold reaction. Russians are hard on the outside and soft on the inside like coconuts.
The mixing of the languages is fun. In Canada we call it Roonglish (this is more of the pronounciation, but its supposed to be spelled Runglish). Russia langauge is very unique and that's why we love it. The alphabet allows for borrow words from other languages. We would spell it in Cyrillic but the pronounciation would be very close. I used to learn Mandarin with my X gf. Except I would write it in Russian and then actully practice the pronounciation because "hard" and "soft" sounds wouldn't be enough to explain the actual sound.
But in general Cyrillic can basically transcribe the words and just additional phonetics and practice are needed for proper pronounciation.
Thanks!
We didn’t read any Russian authors here in the US during high school. They were always praised but never taught. In college, I was only assigned Turgenev and Trotsky. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Akhmatova et al... I had to come to on my own.
Cool concept!
Thanks for your videos. I don't normally subscribe but have a Russian girlfriend and your videos help me understand the culture. I would love to see more on Izhevsk.
Kat Sullivan is so beautiful, what a dress.... Elegant and Beautiful 😍

Hi Eli Have you been to Australia we have more than 20000 people of Russian origin here. Your videos are very interesting and enlighteningkeep them coming . We were always shown the Russians to be the bad guys I believe that young people such as yourself are doing a great thing for your country in showing the world what a great country Russia really is and encouraging people to come see for themselves. Very well done Thank you
well said mate
It’s very dangerous for your country 😂…maybe they need independent in near future from you.
32:35 Ladies, a chain saw "for like the hedges"? 😁 Unless the hedge is totally overgrown, you don´t need a chain saw, but a hedge trimmer.👍
Hi Eli thenku this vidio
This is a very good video and fun to watch without speaking Russian language
Hi😊😊I am from Indonesia and glad to see your videos😊😊👍👍👍👍💖💖💖
Have you been interested in Russia for long? I'd be fascinated to know your opinion. I'm likewise a big fan of this channel and I likewise create vlogs about life in Russia. Unfortunately the youtube algorithm has not been as favourable to me yet. Almost anyone who enjoys my content states that it is excellent, yet very few are able to watch it. Can you be brutally honest and say just how I can make it better? I value your sincere viewpoint.
regarding the first portion of the video - It sounds as though the microphone is either from within the camera or attached to the camera. You should get a long cable to attach a microphone too so that you can put the microphone nearer to you as it is very echoey.
