Hey everyone! A couple things: Make sure to follow me on Twitch! I stream on Tuesdays at 9 PM and Fridays at 12 PM (Central Daylight Time) @ twitch.tv/chicagogeographer Also, if you'd like to see a country played next time, leave a comment!
11:11 If you knew that "Город" means city, you would get the 4th round, where it says "Город Сергиев Посад" with some kind of pebbles (which is quite often in Russia).
"driving school" sign - let me try and find that city! :D i swear i found Blagoveshchensk cemetery in r4 and pinned it down in far east city of Blagoveshchensk and earned 2 points!!! R5 was kinda no chance to find, those villages were too small.
Great try, especially for not being able to read Cyrillic! Obviously finding the right things to transliterate is tricky, as your efforts to read "driving school" in Round 3 prove! :) A useful tip is that there aren't many areas in Russia that have small rural roads covered in Street View like in the final round, and when that's combined with flat steppes and that "depths of Russia" feel, it's usually around Chelyabinsk.
Thanks for the tip! I swear one of these days I'll teach myself the Cyrillic alphabet. Eventually quarantine boredom will catch up to me and I'll do it lol
While scrolling through some village part of a town after getting 2 tiny towns out of 3 questions "We are getting some urban locations here today". Also that indeed was a bus, not a van. And those words on busses were "Мострансавто" - "MosTransAuto", they operate buses in areas around Moscow.
I don't have a way to remember that Ш is Sh, but think of Л as lambda. It's often handwritten like Λ, and there's a chance you'll see it stylized that way on a sign.
you would've gotten 4th round, you've seen "the city of St. Sergi" made out of flowers, and the first city which correlates with St.Sergi is Sergiev-Posad
13:28 - The landscape is extremely flat, birches and fields. It looks like western siberian plain. Bad roads and poor even by russian standards - it looks like Zauralie(Kurgan Oblast). and at 14:56 you can see Шатрово. It is small town in the north-west part of Kurgan Region.
Hard cyrillic letters: Д = D Ё = Yo Ж = Zh З = Z Л = L, П = P - it's different letters! Н = N Р = R Ф = F Х = Kh Ц = Ts Ч = Ch Ш = Sh Щ = Shch Ъ, Ь = ' Ы = ı Э = Eh Ю = Yu Я = Ya Try Ukraine next time (sorry for bad English)
It says "Р. Люксембург" Rosa Luxembourg is a polish Marxist. In every city we have square of Lenin, street Karl Marx, Engels Street or prospect and etc, even cities is named after communists, like Kaliningrad or Ulyanovsk.

a trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Leonardo Jake Definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for since december myself :)
- "Medical services" sign
- I think it is Surgut
Dude you are playing Russia without knowing Russian? Mad respect!
you took driving school in the name of the city. Its funny
11:11 If you knew that "Город" means city, you would get the 4th round, where it says "Город Сергиев Посад" with some kind of pebbles (which is quite often in Russia).
Well, it says "Город преподобного Сергия" ("City of St. Sergius") and it’s quite difficult to guess the real name of the city even for a Russian)
Когда я увидел надпись "Город преподобного Сергия" я сразу подумал про Сергиев Посад

So funny that I spent so long searching for that lol. Too bad about Blagoveshchensk cemetery as well. Thanks for playing and watching!
This is very funny to watch when you know Russian. When you thought auto school was a name of a city 😭😭
And when you thought that services is a name of a city too

Oh god, I live near Penza and it was unexpected for me to see my city!

Забавно смотреть, как люди читают наш язык. Особенно "Пенза" заставила улыбнуться
Выпал когда он автошколу как город искал😂😂😂😂😂
2:18 Lord this is where I live, I was shocked when you got this place
I love Geowizard a lot but you are fast becoming my favourite GeoGuessr TH-camr, love from the UK
You are very naturally funny and incredibly clever, so keep it up man, don’t know how you did this well in Russia when it all looks the same
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it :) And thanks for watching!

11:08 'город' = city of
Okay, I'm just glad my city is here. With so many cities, it's not that easy lol
You are lucky, I usually (at least 1/5 round) get like 1000km long road in the middle of forest without any sings or villages nearby)))
Самара на связи !
11:10 that was a city name that you decided to ignore
And In the lower left-hand corner at 9:10
haha, it's so funny to watch the reaction of foreigners to Russian cities and language =)
Nice try! I hope one time you will visit Russia. There are a lot of beautiful (and not really) cities here. As for me, I hope I will visit USA
I got 20 222 points in total. (I`m Russian)
Awesome!
@@ChicagoGeographer Not really. I didnt recognize Sergiev Posad (guessed as Yaroslavl some north) and no chance at all at R5
