"Spar" stores do exist in the UK, but they look like a shabby caricature compared to this Russian version. In UK Spar will be fairly poorly stocked. Not very well maintained and prices often higher than normal for no reason at all, other than them being open later than other stores. The lavish selection of fresh fruit and veg. you never get in UK stores Spar or another brand. Even most expensive stores such as Wholefood Market in London are much smaller with very limited selection and range of products. And London is where people actually have money in the UK. The rest of the country apparently includes 9 out of 10 Europe's most poor and deprived regions (and this is official data).
It's because Russia is a much larger country with very well developed agriculture and food production. That's also the reason why food there is so cheap.
Funny thing ist that our European companies are opening more interesting, next level shops in „poor and bad“ Russia, while we don’t get anything of that (I live in Germany). We don’t have these fancy hypermarkets with huge restaurants/cafés, hundreds of warm made dishes to go over the counter or pickled foods which you can buy per gram. We have the same old Lidl and Aldi sh*t we already had 30 years ago. I just don’t get it. How all of that makes any sense?
Hello. A grocery store like yours in Germany won't work for long in Russia, because we Russians are demanding of service and goods. Business adapts to our mentality and our "wants". That's why we have such a wide range of goods and services. I recently drove all over Norway by car, and in a small town any coffee shop is already at its best in terms of quality and service, unlike Norwegian ones. In general, everything depends only on you. With respect from Russia.
Because I am noticing that Europeans have gotten really complacent as consumers. They have accepted the fact that things aren’t improving and everything is getting more expensive, while quality and selection have been steadily degraded!

Impressive market. Glad some foreign businesses have wisely continued to operate in Russia. It's a very good market and consumers there spend. How is inflation? In the West it is high. Shoppers here shop online or use discount stores. Amazon, Walmart and Target do well. Keep on doing honest reports on Russia. I want honest information.
Food inflation has dropped very sharply. compared to the end of 2022 and 2023. There is even deflation on many products now. And salaries are rising every quarter. So there are very few poor people. There are no homeless people at all. I'm not lying.
The share of domestic products in retail chains exceeded 90% in 2023. At the same time, the level of customer loyalty to domestic products was 91%. Let you not be misled by goods of foreign brands, almost all of them are produced in Russia.
There are western farmers moving to Russia as the earth is very good for growing vegetables etc. The Russian vegetables etc seem to be a lot larger than in UK. As far as I’m aware there’s a strict law on Russian farmers are not allowed to spray their land with any type of artificial spray etc. This is good for the land and consumers health. Recently within the last few years farmers from Canada and Australia are literally building their own homes on their recently bought land,which isn’t the norm in Russia. Russian farmers normally live in a village with their land outside the village, but I think more Russian farmers will follow suit.
In most cases, it is impractical to raise buildings outside the settlement. It would makes it much harder and more expensive to connect to electricity, water, internet, to get emergency medical support, etc. Mobile phones may not work far from populated areas. Also it is harder to register the non-production buildings on agriculture designated land, private or not. The bureaucracy may get nasty here. It varies on the regions though, like in Siberian wild lands no one truly cares about independent ways you live because everything is decentralized in general, you are naturally left lone. Good for technocratic civilization haters, privacy zealots, and close to nature isolated communities. There are many native communities and locals in Siberia which live peaceful by traditional hunting and non-mechanized farming to this day. But yeah, in general, big communities village alike is a preferred way of settlement in Russia.

I just shared this on all of my Social Media platforms. Just looking at this video, I am starving. As for Sanctions, if people want to make money, they will disregard sanctions.
Where I live in England Spar is no bigger than a local mini market. As far as I’m aware,there’s no more Shopping Centres being built as there’s a slow down in the economy. Some towns have less visits to shopping centres thus they are practically empty/closed shops. Some shops open, but intend to be high end, so their footfall are less, & intend to close within 2 years.I think some companies are being financially hit for withdrawal from Russian market. If you look at the average customer in Russia then companies who continue to trade in Russia if it’s direct or indirectly know they have made the right choice. Even Macron told French businesses to continue to trade within Russia.
I’m from north east of England and I kind of agree. Our town centres definitely have a lot of shops closing down but I don’t agree it’s down to the economy. It’s mainly because the internet has took over and you will always find the best deals online. Most people in my area simply don’t go into town anymore. It’s easier, cheaper and our deliveries so fast it’s just stupid to waste your time going into town. Going into town shopping is very old fashioned now and it’s a thing of the past.

Dear Russell, thank you for not speaking ill of our country, respecting its cultural heritage and honestly showing how we live here. We are proud of our country and are always glad to see guests from other countries. The Russian people are very hospitable. We just don't like being laughed at and considered a third world country. Thanks for the great video, I didn't know that we had opened such a wonderful shopping center in Kuzminki. And I haven't seen the area for a long time, before it was really gray and impoverished, like any suburb, but now I see a big difference.
But the masked Russian police would still haul you away for saying anything the government doesn't like, given a fake trial and sent to prison for 20 years. I'll take freedom any day over a supermarket.
People should not allow their government and their hypocrisy media to dictate the narrative for you just ignore their noise and lies and live your lives
Again, the U.S. imposed sanctions are having no effect in Russia. A beautiful brand new Dutch supermarket now operating in Russia. And Russell presented a couple of days ago a “Magnificent Church,” (Russian Army Cathedral), in which is only a few years old. It appears Russia is on the rise both domestically and internationally. Fact: Russia does not have a national sovereign debt of 35 Trillion Dollars either.

Russia has so many supermarkets. I am honestly surprised, even surpassing the UK in quality and variety. England also has Spar but no way near as big! I am Spartan!
Putting a quarter in at Aldi for a cart is not a problem You get your quarter back when you return your cart. Some shoppers even give away a quarter to a fellow shopper. This way Aldi doesnt have to worry about carts left in the parking lot and neither do customers.
Верно. Правда, придётся нести свои покупки до своей машины в руках. В России, специальный работник магазина ходит по стоянке и собирает тележки за людьми. Человек зарабатывает деньги, а покупатели довозят свои покупки до своего автомобиля с комфортом.
Hi Russ, here in Perth are shops closing, not opening new ones. To buy decent food, I have to travel around in 3 different shops or suburbs to obtain what I want. Very hard to get decent bread loaf without holes. Viva 🇷🇺
I was surprised how good eurospar is. We have a smaller one in our district (Ramenki) the cafe/ restraunt also has an amazing amount if food choice. Also was in st petersburgh last week and they have a good euro spar there. Strangely when im in uk spar is generally no where near as good as the ones in Russia. Possibly spar/ eurospar are two different companies.. unsure.
@Hugomagoogo1203 It's not about the names of the stores or their owners, it's about the suppliers of goods for them! Russian grocery stores are 80-90 percent made up of Russian food manufacturing even if they belong to western owners, this makes the difference in the assortment in stores!
Witam. Podoba mi się że przy każdej cenie produktu jest flaga kraju z którego pochodzi, w Polsce jest to nie do pomyślenia! Wręcz supermarkety ukrywają pochodzenie produktu. Obecnie Polskę zalewa produkcja żywności z Ukrainy, ludzie nie chcą tego kupować, dlatego wszystko jest sprzedawane jako pochodzące z Polski! Dla nas to jest dramat! Nigdy nie wiesz czego możesz się spodziewać.

I'm fascinated by the big green dinosaur pacing by the entrance 🦕. I love that they can sit at the checkout, that should be allowed for all cashiers here in Canada. This week 18 eggs on sale for $4.75. If I was that I'd be heading for this grocery store. So many ready to eat foods, yum. When I see products in Russia that I can get here and they are a fraction of the price I pay it really makes my blood boil. Most of our bread baked in store is $3.00+. lol, guess I'm a Spartan.
Hey Russel, as a fellow Australian. Firstly, I enjoy your videos. But I have to say that im disgusted with our country. They talk about Russia being the most sanctioned country in the world. The cost of living in Australia at the moment is ridiculous. The prices that you show for everyday items compared to Australian prices, we are sanctioned, we are being destroyed by our government. The lies and the BS we are being told, makes me sad. We once had what was called the lucky country. I dont feel very lucky anymore, our government is destroying this country, and i don't feel like I have a place anymore. Keep up the great videos, you give us hope.
I agree that the prices are high in Australia, but compared to their wages their prices a very high..Some of the wages in Australia in a fortnight are the same as some Russians would earn in 3 months..

Ich lebe im größten Bundesland von Deutschland, in Nordrhein Westfalen. Unsere Innenstädte sehen inzwischen furchbar aus, viele Geschäfte sind geschlossen, neue eröffnen nicht. Erst recht keine Einkaufszentren, denn auch in den alten sind viele Geschäfte geschlossen. Das Sortiment der Supermärkte ist sehr überschaubar, teilweise ist nicht alles immer erhältlich. Wir müssen nicht verhungern, aber es ist traurig, wie sehr die Sanktionen Deutschland geschadet haben. 😢 Glückwunsch an Russland, die sehr kluge und gute Politiker haben, im Gegensatz zu diesen Clowns, die Deutschland regieren. 🤬🤮
Спасибо, Рассел! Всегда с удовольствием смотрю твои ролики. Я живу во Владивостоке, нас тоже не удивить такими супермаркетами, они похожи на наши, ну может, наши чуть скромнее по сравнению со столицей, но не принципиально!😄 У нас сегодня весь день было ужасно жарко и влажно, а у Вас?

In general, the entire southeastern direction of Moscow is considered not the most prestigious)
insane amount of choice Russell in your video. Here in Dublin after the inflation discounted foods have disappeared. And they put new smart meter for electricity which gives out larger electricity bill, twice larger mate. 600 euro for a room in summer, but we pay as if we are heating 6 houses. Let that sink in mate baby Russell.

You have no Freedom im the West its an illusion. Look what they did with Jan 6 people and Trump getting shot etc... deep state controls the USA @JohnnyDiamond1958
Eggs are insanely expensive in the UK. My standard M&S pack of 6 eggs is always £3.50. There are slightly cheaper versions but there you are going to eat fake eggs with anti-biotics, all sorts of non-organic egg problems and it will actually look like it was made in China in a chemical plant. Whenever I tried these cheaper eggs they were so bad. I had to throw them away.
Here in Florida Aldi Supermarkets are expanding heavily. Publix is the dominant supermarket and they are opening some stores that are offering many upscale features. Aldi cashiers have stools to sit on.
@@lauren6889 That was the reason why we in Germany and actually everywhere in Europe are trying to prevent this. Once you get used to it, everyone benefits and there will always be available parking space.
Thumbs up to Russell! Some 15 years ago on this same place in Kuzminki there was a Levi's wear outlet where I bought myself a Levi's jacket and a pair of blue jeans. Now in this premise a Subway cafe is located.
I love in Boston. No new supermarkets opening here, shopping malls are empty and many of them are closing down in Massachusetts, US. People are shopping online hoping to get better deals. Very depressing here honesrly.
I live in America on a fixed income, really fixed. The prices of food and utilities are skyrocketing. We are assaulted by propaganda from the government and media. The government agencies are out of control, the people are losing their rights. If I could afford it and was 25 years younger I would go to Russia in a heartbeat. Great videos! Keep up the good work!
In the UK it is the cheaper end of the market, Lidl, and Aldi, who are opening new stores. Checkout staff, in most supermarkets have the option to sit down, that is when you can find a staffed checkout! For some years now they have installed more and more self-checkouts, for obvious reasons! Personally, I refuse to use them; I am trying to protect staff jobs and, the supermarket does not pay me to operate checkouts!
Once upon a time in Russia there was a worker (elevator operator) in every elevator, now all elevators are automatic and nothing terrible has happened. The same with cashiers, self-service checkout is more convenient for me, I do everything quickly and without a queue, and the cashier will be able to find a new job, we have no problems with work in Russia.
From the Netherlands here, home of the Euro Spar. I am very jealous because what I have seen here is far better than what we are accustomed to here in the Netherlands. Also, the price for 10 eggs is around 3 EURO for lesser quality. French stick bread here is about 1 EURO to 1,50 depending on where you buy it. Sanctions are only for propaganda because I have a Lukoil gas station about 5 minutes drive from my house. One more thing is that butcher stations are being faced out in the Netherlands and sliced cold cuts are not sliced in front of you, not even in the brand-name stores.
@4:19 the country you are wondering about is Portugal. Green and red flag with a shield in the middle. Portugal has great food, olive oil, wines, beaches, castles, history and... Go there and see!...
Long videos are fine when the subject merits it. No problem at all. After all each viewer can choose how long to watch and to pause, skip forward or truncate their viewing at any time.
Кузьминки - это далеко не центр Москвы, это считай окраина, которая находится почти у МКАДа. Все, что за пределами МКАДа, считается Подмосковьем. Станция метро Кузьминки.
For me, longer videos are better. I don't watch TV, but enjoy watching even 5+ hours of live streams where someone doesn't try to sell me something. Eggs 30 pack here at Costco are about A$12 and bread about A$8 for 2. Otherwise I believe other Australian Super Markets are even more expensive, except ALDI, but, I don't shop there, because even though they have multiple registers they will have only one open, so that staff at the register doesn't have free time. And yes, only Aldi staff are allowed to sit down while serving Costco, Woolworths,Coles and IGA must stand the whole day.
🇺🇲 Great shopping video! The entrance looked like malls in America, which were very popular from the 1970's thru early 2000's; but are mostly dead now, unfortunately 😢
New Zealand where I live: 1-dozen eggs = NZ$11.99 = US$7.50 Holy Cow! Think I'm moving to Moscow! Aussie wine ~uuuugh! LOL The Russians have good taste! LOL This Russian supermarket is better than any New Zealand one. And we pride ourselves on our fresh organic food and produce. Much more variety!
@@rvnhty we usually don't know, how much they are paying, because our bookkeeper gives us a sum with all taxes already subtracted from that unknown sum (we don't have to pay anything further, if one has only one job, also we usually don't send the incomes report to the tax police). People in Moscow usually get ~$1200-1500 of clean money monthly.
The Spar was founded in 1932 in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, by Adiaan van Well. There are 13000 shops in 48 countries. Strangely though they are small in Holland and the most expensive supermarket. They can be found inside gas stations as well. The formula is the same world wide.
A very nice supermarket with a great selection of ready-to-eat foods. Hopefully, they don't put artificial preservatives, flavor enhancers and other inhuman stuff in them...
There are different products, with and without preservatives. You can always choose for yourself. In Russia, the trend is to reduce the amount of additives, people pay attention to this. Therefore, manufacturers try to add as little as possible, especially in the middle and high price segment.
Привет! У нас развита торговля и уже довольно старый район, поэтому, у нас редко что-то новое открывают. У нас все есть. Хотелось бы некоторые магазины иметь поблизости, но это уже моя лень возмущается))))
The reason that beer costs less than soft drink in Russia vs what you'd see in other countries, eg, Australia is this. For most countries, tax or levy is imposed on alcoholic beverages depending on the alcohol concentrations. Usually there isn't such additional tax-levy for soft drink. In Russia, likely there isn't such tax-levy on alcoholic beverages. Indeed, perhaps there is some tax-levy on soft drink or they have imported items are much more popular so domestic soft drink brands put up prices as comparison vs imported brands.

While the branch Spar is Dutch, the company is actually based in South Africa. I read about them in the Polish media because the chain is shutting down its operation here.
Не смотрите на название. Фактически, это русская сеть, её хозяин русский. Когда-то он взял название по франшизе, но от иностранного осталось только название. Сейчас он развивается самостоятельно без участия европы
It looks like Spar Russia is owned by Russian public company X5 Group. Not S. African nor Dutch. Only the brand name is probably licensed from the original Dutch Spar.
Do you have a source? After a tiny bit investigation it looks like the polish media most likely confused the south african The SPAR Group Limited with spar international b.v. That's probably because spar group operated in Poland (until 2023 when they sold it, most likely to the company spar sp z.o.o. since they are mentioned in the copyright of the polish site.) (It looks like wikipedia might not be correct)
In Canada most of the grocery items went up50% , and some doubled. I definitely can’t see in my budget. Unfortunately majority shoppers salary didn’t increase at all . 10:50
the spar is a Dutch brand, I live in the Netherlands, Amsterdam there you only have a few small tourist Spar shops, not as nice and big as this Spar, very nice! and the eggs in Amsterdam cost something like €2.80 a box of six eggs😘

Also it is harder to register the non-production buildings on agriculture designated land, private or not. The bureaucracy may get nasty here. It varies on the regions though, like in Siberian wild lands no one truly cares about independent ways you live because everything is decentralized in general, you are naturally left lone. Good for technocratic civilization haters, privacy zealots, and close to nature isolated communities. There are many native communities and locals in Siberia which live peaceful by traditional hunting and non-mechanized farming to this day. But yeah, in general, big communities village alike is a preferred way of settlement in Russia.

Where I live in England Spar is no bigger than a local mini market. As far as I’m aware,there’s no more Shopping Centres being built as there’s a slow down in the economy. Some towns have less visits to shopping centres thus they are practically empty/closed shops. Some shops open, but intend to be high end, so their footfall are less, & intend to close within 2 years.I think some companies are being financially hit for withdrawal from Russian market. If you look at the average customer in Russia then companies who continue to trade in Russia if it’s direct or indirectly know they have made the right choice. Even Macron told French businesses to continue to trade within Russia.
I’m from north east of England and I kind of agree. Our town centres definitely have a lot of shops closing down but I don’t agree it’s down to the economy. It’s mainly because the internet has took over and you will always find the best deals online. Most people in my area simply don’t go into town anymore. It’s easier, cheaper and our deliveries so fast it’s just stupid to waste your time going into town. Going into town shopping is very old fashioned now and it’s a thing of the past.

Again, the U.S. imposed sanctions are having no effect in Russia. A beautiful brand new Dutch supermarket now operating in Russia. And Russell presented a couple of days ago a “Magnificent Church,” (Russian Army Cathedral), in which is only a few years old. It appears Russia is on the rise both domestically and internationally. Fact: Russia does not have a national sovereign debt of 35 Trillion Dollars either.

Hey Russel, as a fellow Australian. Firstly, I enjoy your videos. But I have to say that im disgusted with our country. They talk about Russia being the most sanctioned country in the world. The cost of living in Australia at the moment is ridiculous. The prices that you show for everyday items compared to Australian prices, we are sanctioned, we are being destroyed by our government. The lies and the BS we are being told, makes me sad. We once had what was called the lucky country. I dont feel very lucky anymore, our government is destroying this country, and i don't feel like I have a place anymore. Keep up the great videos, you give us hope.
I agree that the prices are high in Australia, but compared to their wages their prices a very high..Some of the wages in Australia in a fortnight are the same as some Russians would earn in 3 months..

The reason that beer costs less than soft drink in Russia vs what you'd see in other countries, eg, Australia is this.
For most countries, tax or levy is imposed on alcoholic beverages depending on the alcohol concentrations.
Usually there isn't such additional tax-levy for soft drink.
In Russia, likely there isn't such tax-levy on alcoholic beverages.
Indeed, perhaps there is some tax-levy on soft drink or they have imported items are much more popular so domestic soft drink brands put up prices as comparison vs imported brands.
I think they imposes taxes on sugary based drinks.

While the branch Spar is Dutch, the company is actually based in South Africa. I read about them in the Polish media because the chain is shutting down its operation here.
Не смотрите на название. Фактически, это русская сеть, её хозяин русский. Когда-то он взял название по франшизе, но от иностранного осталось только название. Сейчас он развивается самостоятельно без участия европы
It looks like Spar Russia is owned by Russian public company X5 Group. Not S. African nor Dutch. Only the brand name is probably licensed from the original Dutch Spar.
Do you have a source?
After a tiny bit investigation it looks like the polish media most likely confused the south african The SPAR Group Limited with spar international b.v.
That's probably because spar group operated in Poland (until 2023 when they sold it, most likely to the company spar sp z.o.o. since they are mentioned in the copyright of the polish site.)

In Canada most of the grocery items went up50% , and some doubled. I definitely can’t see in my budget. Unfortunately majority shoppers salary didn’t increase at all . 10:50
Nice to know about eurospar.
Our children like to watch your videos 👫🇷🇺 🫶
Our corrupt politicians think that a boycot hurt , but it helps your economy
I cant believe the selection you have in Russia I live on the goldcoast qld and our shops aren't a patch on them
And this is just one store. Where I live, we have 7 supermarkets in walking distance from our place. th-cam.com/video/Tg4eFSGLsmU/w-d-xo.html
It's because there is much more stuff grows in Russia and agriculture and food production are very well developed.
the spar is a Dutch brand, I live in the Netherlands, Amsterdam there you only have a few small tourist Spar shops, not as nice and big as this Spar, very nice! and the eggs in Amsterdam cost something like €2.80 a box of six eggs😘
