- Have Western sanctions finally worked? Is the long-term effect from sanctions already felt in Russia’s poorest communities? To find out, I traveled to the same Russian village I visited six months ago to see what exactly had happened to the people that claimed sanctions weren’t a big deal.

Grandma have clear understanding of real situation.
Русская геополитика - это выжившая из ума старушка, которая сидит в разваливающемся доме без электричества, с пенсией, которой хватает только на еду, но зато с умным видом пересказывает маразм из телевизора, который сам себе противоречит.
Бабушка хоть и не оратор но сказала в приципе очень важную вещь, что Меркель что Олаф что Порошенко сами высказались никто их не тянул за язык...Они эти годы готовились к войне и минские соглашения для них была лишь отсрочка к наступлению.

И ещё я три недели не могу продать новый глушитель для машины на сайте объявлений! Цена небольшая, но никто не покупает потому что запчастей очень много.
One note, "Dobryi Cola" at 20:46 is not "kinda like Cola", but literally the original Coca-Cola.
The "Dobry" brand belonged to the Coca Cola Company and they simply began to release the original cola, fanta and sprite under the same brand. Even a bottle of "Dobry" Cola is literally a bottle of the original Fanta, and another cool fact is that it has become cheaper than the original Cola
I agree. Tastes exactly the same. But Coca Cola claims they use a slightly different recipe or something. But who can check it anyway 🤷🏼♂️
Наверное, в оригинале они втайне продолжают использовать листья коки)
Когда говорят о кока-коле, я слушаю равнодушно. За мою достаточно долгую жизнь я пробовала колу пару раз, и она напомнила мне какую-то галимую химию, которая несет опасность для здоровья 😂. Так что с колой все предельно ясно. Так же я не знаю цен на мясо, рыбу, яйца, птицу и их производные. А то, что я употребляю ( в том числе качественные фермерские- сливочное масло, сыры, Сметану, творог и проч.), я всегда могу себе позволить, даже если цена на них значительно вырастит. Так же продолжают поступать в магазины различные виды орехов, отборные овощи и фрукты. Муки и всяческих круп полно. Ягоды- клубнику, малину и черную смородину замораживаю в сезон из расчета на 9 месяцев и кушаю круглый год. Так что на моем столе ничего не исчезло и ничего сильно не подорожало, слава Богу. Я простая тетка с Кавказского региона, которая любит вкусненько покушать. Хотя, конечно, я признаю, что многие людям продукты стали обходиться дороже, но на сколько- не могу сказать, все зависит от того, чем человек питается.
@@i8Hardcore the original does still use Coca leaf extract. I believe most cola sodas do use coca leaf extracts still. In the US there’s a company that sells the extracted flavors to Coca Cola and the leftover extracted cocaine to a medical company, for refinement for use in surgeries and medicine… probably same thing in Russia
в оригинале все еще используется экстракт листьев коки. Я считаю, что в большинстве газированных напитков колы все еще используются экстракты листьев коки. В США есть компания, которая продает извлеченные ароматизаторы Coca Cola, а оставшийся кокаин медицинской компании для переработки для использования в хирургии и медицине… вероятно, то же самое и в России.

Wow, I’m so surprised that a babushka from rural Russia knows about the Angela Merkel thing. Many people with access to social media don’t.
It would be interesting to do the price comparisons in some of the countries that sanctioned Russia.
The people with social media do have access, but when you only see Anti-Russian and pro Ukrainian Western media for the past 12 months, certain facts go missing in the algorithm.
You only see what appeals to your own biases, even if certain facts are removed and replaced by propaganda, which makes the person feel better, brmecaise the content is tailor made for them.
This is why social media needs to be banned. It is creating a society that we won't even recognize in 10 years.
@@bubba842 nah, it’s not social media’s fault, social media offers you more than one side, people just lack critical thinking skills completely. In school we were taught to verify multiple sources when writing the most basic essay. It’s easy to find a lot of anti-war commentators, either on youtube, on rumble or Twitter, unless you’re plain stupid and don’t want to find them. Like those people who cover their ears so they don’t listen to spoilers.
And the interview with Merkel was even available on paper iirc

Winter fuel, especially diesel, is usually always a little more expensive in Russia because additional additives are added to it so that it does not lose its properties in severe frosts (conventional/summer diesel fuel can only be used up to -10). By the way, there on the video you can see that before the price of diesel fuel, a blue snowflake on the sign at the gas station, this just shows that they are pouring winter fuel and you can not be afraid that it will freeze.
Именно. И зимнее дизтопливо в Центральной России это до -39С, а сорт «Арктика» в Сибири и на Дальнем Востоке вообще до -69С! Отсюда и разница в цене с летним.
In my city, diesel prices didn't change since Ukrainian conflict started. Before that they changed prices almost every day +- several kopeeks
I would guess that diesel prices have risen partly due to increased demand by the Russian military that's needed to fight the war against NATO. Almost all Russian heavy equipment (excluding the T-80) runs on diesel fuel. There's likely increased foreign demand for diesel as well.
Another excellent video. What a range of diversity & interests in a winter rural self supporting village in Russia. This is outstanding selection of themes & insights. People are endlessly fascinating & resourceful. We all adapt & learn our way forward. The elderly lady at the end is my hero. She has so much to teach us all.

Когда говорят о санкциях, я вспоминаю историю с одним печерским старцем, которого одна раба Божия попросила наложить на нее епитимью. А старец улыбнулся, обнял ее и сказал: «Ты знаешь, дорогая, жить в современной России - это уже епитимья, хватит с тебя ее, живи в России». О том, что наш народ можно напугать санкциями, могут думать только американцы, потому что то, что мы пережили в историческом плане, в 20-м веке, это такие трагедии, что нам, по сути, их санкции - это ягодки или цветочки.
Если бы они наложили санкции в 90ые ("святые" для некоторых мразей), то сейчас, как в том анекдоте, "банка Кока-колы стоила бы 5 копеек" - то есть трансформация и возрождение страны произошли бы быстрее.

Hi, I work in supply management department at one of the largest car repair centers in Russia (and no, not in Moscow, not even close). Situation with spare parts is steadily improving, the 100-300% price hike that we expirienced at the start of 2022 is long gone and prices are somewhat going down. There are still some deficit, especially for british or american models, but they were in a similiar situation even before the SMO. China actually produces many good quality analogues for spare parts, so it's also a plus. Of course a regular person might not be able to buy some parts made for rare brands and models, you need to have a contract with a distribution service to be able to do so.
I specialize for trucks and other heavy cars. Volvo parts are usually not so hard to come by, actually. Something like Scania could be on more of an expensive side, but the main problem with that is always the waiting time for your order to arrive.
So, the situation is manageble. Been through worse.

That's how good people who have experienced living in Soviet Era, they were thought to be self sufficient.

I do not know if many will disagree with her. Maybe those who are watching msnbc or cnn will totally opposed her even her living alone and eating good and healthy food. And the bread, that was home made which you can not expect perhaps to someone in the west to make one without a modern oven.

I'm from South Africa and I love Russia. I love Russia long time ago when I started understanding what "cold war" was. I realised that usa has deviled Russia in order to gain economic advantage by labelling Russia as an axis of evil and made sure that their media propagate this evil ideology so as to prevent potential investors not to go to Russia and thereafter lied that communism as an economic system is failing. All was a lie from this weasels. China never used slavery to create wealth for itself then used it to develop itself like these evils of the west has done. They created a wealth through slavery to create large wealth reserves to be able to fund their so called capitalist economy which is pseudo economy because it has promoted cheap labour and exploitation of hardworking citizens only to create a few financial elites which ultimately control and influence the government policies to work to their advantage in sustaining their exploitative businesses and they call it democracy where people elect the executives but technically it is not a democracy because citizen elect presidents for instance who have been identified, funded and publicised and advertised these businesses and ultimately these presidents are beholden to them and not the citizens. How dare then do we call such an arrangement a democracy. american citizens and eu's are the most stupid and gullible according to me. Those who are middle class scholars and aggressively promoting usa as a great country upholding it's american dream are actually doing so because this kind of a pseudo system is benefitting them as well, so they are happy with it.

This was very interesting. It also shows how much people could truly live without if they have the skills and do not think like spoiled kids. My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc here and in western Europe grew up with not having many things "essential" for life today. Imagine what would happen to many if they didn't have TV, internet, or smartphones. Imagine if they had to walk or ride a bike instead of driving a luxury car. That's nothing. I grew up learning from parents who were born and raised in WWII-occupied Italy. It's good for people to think about what they truly need now because it may not be available in the future.
So true! The generation that lived through WWII and the post war period was very resilient. It’s rare nowadays
@@RealReporter I even forgot to mention the fact that my mom grew up without running water and heat. They had to go to a spring, fill up a jar, carry it on their heads up a hill and use it for cooking, drinking, and cleaning. Laundry was done at a river.

We are fortunate here in having relatively cheap gasoline (petrol) (about 2.80 to 3.00 USD per gallon in the city, maybe ten or twenty cents cheaper out in the country), but the diesel prices are insane. 5 to 6 USD per gallon easily in the last year, and they have been consistently that high. Gas prices have gone as high as 4 USD or more in the last year - a lot of fluctuations in naphtha crack margins, but diesel isn't going down, both in the US and internationally. I have one colleague with a diesel F-350 truck that has started carpooling with his wife to reduce his fuel expenditures.
I don't purchase wood, but grocery prices have increased dramatically, to the point that I have altered a lot of my purchasing patterns. I used to infrequently eat out, but now I practically never do just because of the price. Due to avian flu outbreaks, chicken and eggs are much more expensive - a dozen eggs is between $3.75 and $4.00 for the 'inexpensive' eggs, and chicken is $3 to $4 per pound in bulk. I used to get more canned chicken, but the price has gone up between 50 and 75%, so I have started buying bulk chicken and freezing to reduce the price to something more reasonable. Salmon prices are also definitely up - $10 or $11 per lb. Beef prices are also way up - I bought some halal beef steak a month back for about $10 per lb. It's definitely impacting people. I volunteer at several local food banks, and the demand has been higher for food in the last year.
Keep making the great content.
I have enjoyed this video. Normal people, normal life.
I'm just going to say that the auto parts store employee is a very smart guy. He didn't provide exhaustive arguments but he knows what's going on.
He's just saying the Russian perspective which is on the news in Russia but I'm more inclined to believe the Russian narrative then the US narrative on this particular situation.
He's "very smart" for regurgitating Russian state propaganda? Uh... okay, then...
Awesome :)
Thank you, my friend! It was an amazing trip and I was so glad to see you all, guys 💪
My grandmother, who lived in Florida during the Great Depression, used to say that they were very poor BEFORE the depression, and they were very poor DURING the depression and so they never noticed any difference because nothing changed for them in poor rural Florida. I guess it is just that way for those of us who are poor; there isn't much lower we can go (Heaven forbid).
exactly if you dont have anything what can change like the gran is not gonna notice the sactions just because she just live still in soviet russia bassicly
.....and the very rich notice no difference in daily life, other than a few possible blips on his bottom line...................................
@@blackiedekat2612 how do you know?
We were poor in the Soviet Union, but the 90s were terrible, we felt it very well. Now Russia is a paradise, compared to the 90s. The return of the 90s is the main fear of Russians.
We are still poor in rural Florida. My family is north of Ponce de Leon Florida and just south of the line of Geneva Alabama. No industry, no manufacturing of any kind here. It's still a depression here.
Некуда бежать?... Странно мне слышать матери такие рассуждения!! Мой сын сказал, придёт повестка, пойду на фронт, но бегать это не моё!! И я горжусь своим сыном, воспитала Мужчину!!! Который не убежит в тяжёлую минуту и не бросит ни меня, ни свою семью!! А ещё и защитит!!
Мужчина это Мужество в первую очередь!! Нет у многих нравственности и морали, многие не понимают, что идёт война с Америкой. Думают, что в Америке, Европе травка зеленее, солнце ярче, но так сильно заблуждаются!! Ну хотя, если хотят ходить в бабских тряпках и мерится шмотьем фирменным, если хотят менять пол, насиловать животных, детей, деревья, жрать тараканов, то тогда конечно... В американскую мечту бегите и не оглядывайтесь, туда вам и дорога!!!

Hello and thank you for this video! Nice to have perspective!
I'm writing from Bulgaria, a country that has supported sanctions and is a member of the EU. Here are the prices the for Bulgarian citizens, since the war started, for anyone interested:
- Fuel per 1L: Diesel was around 1.80-90 Euro when the war started, now 1.40-45 euros. Gasoline/Benzin was 1.50-70, now is 1.20 - 30 euros.
- Food prices have been on the increase since the war started, and haven't stopped yet. For comparison, 1 liter of Cow Milk is 1.80 - 2.00 Euro, and 1 loaf of bread is 0.80 - 1.00 Eur for the cheapest brand! 1kg of Chicken Breast is around 8 - 10 euros, and 1kg of Beef is around 12 euros for the cheapest cuts!
- Firewood and coal - Firewood is currently around 75-100 euros per cubic meter and reached around 150-160euros in October / November. Russian Donbas coal was 400eur per ton, and now it may be 500+++ euros per ton.
- A leffe beer which is 330ml, not the 500ml shown in the video is 1.65euros
- Minimum salary in the country is 390.00 Euros and the minimum pension is around 200-250.00 Euros.🥲🥲🥲
"Every Regime will go to great lengths to protect itself if and when it is needed - in the meantime we can play democracy". - Amazing words from your friend Lars!

Thank you for a nice comment!
This content is helpful; it shows you real provincial Russia, people in agriculture, local business, the people who have been the silent backbone of the country for generations
My relatives In Russia are living a better life then I am , their inflation rate is lower then in the EU and America, the sanctions have had minimal effect and have made life in Europe and america worse then in rural Russia, the sanctions have backfired miserably by the rest of the world and our Russian citizens are far better off now then ever before ,we are showing the brix countries will prevail and why the American dollar and nato expansion is the real evil
They allways were and allways will be. Brave people to do those things in such a hostile climate.

@@TheBoris1971 It's obviously 'approved'
It's pretty funny that the guy who works at the auto parts store in a tiny town out in the middle of nowhere knows and understands quite a lot more than you do about how the world works.
Probably because he doesnt' live in a place where globalist media control the agenda.
I noticed this as well when I traveled through Turkey where some random bus driver would blow me away with his incites about how the world works with his broken English lol
Thanks for the video. Truly we don't really feel the sanctions in our regular life. I think sanctions just made us stronger, consolidate. And one important thing - we finally started to see the beauty of Russia, it's all around us! We finally understood that we cat travel not around the world, but inside our own country. Because Russia is so big and beautiful and different and great!
So thanks fo sanctions! We need this kick in the ass😂

@@micheldeslandes4339 it is Russia's business whether he is killing people in donbas or not. now go and play democracy in your beloved west...
@@micheldeslandes4339 > Maidan was a great example of how to do it.
Maidan is a great example of how double standards work in practice: the same event in the US is called "January 6 attempted coup", Wikipedia defines it as "January 6 United States Capitol attack", yet the Maidan is somehow a "revolution of conscience". One would need a single fact about that "conscience" to draw their own conscious conculsion on the matter devoid of propaganda: on the Sunday weekend day of February 23, 2014, a day after the democratically elected president had to flee the country saving his life from the hands of armed rioters chasing him, the newly established members of the Ukrainian Parliament had found nothing more pressing and important on their agenda than to repeal existing minority language laws, that were designed to protect the rights of the russian-speaking majority of the eastern part of the country to use their native language officially in all public administration matters. So much for Ukrainian self-determination that easily gets forgotten once the folks demanding it happen to live in the politically inconvenient regions. The events in Crimea had begun four days after that "conscious" move in Kiyv.
> It never ceases to amaze me what a high price people will pay to protect their ego!
Indeed! Like the egos of those who deprive Ukrainian 18+ male population from their natural right to decide for themselves and leave the country if they don't feel like fighting for the territory they might not get a chance to live on, and like those who are currently catching and sending those unfortunate souls into a war grinder for the political benefits of their self-proclaimed revolutionary leaders.
I'm from rural New Mexico in USA. For about that much hard wood ( kinda of ) it would cost about $400 USD. Soft pine, $150 - $200 USD. It was cheaper but because of the war gas prices went up, costing more to harvest it.
Бабуля 😊 Здоровья и Долгих лет 🙏
As a Texan, USA I agree completely with the auto dealer comments. More news and information is coming out but being suppressed as always.
Nice report,I somehow expected that it's like this and I'm happy that you confirmed it. Nice people, not at all fanatic, thinking logical by themselves. May God bless them and you too. Спасибо!!!
Slava Mother Russia , my friends. From Greece.
Great video. The size of the pension is interesting. My mother (Czech Republic)has 720 usd, but a litre of petrol here costs 1,80 usd, 1kW/hour 0,4 usd, 250g of butter costs 2,7 usd. There is not much German beer here because we make better :) . Recently it came out that a lot of companies didn't leave Russia, they just suspended production. Only a fool would voluntarily get rid of such a market. And a little pearl in the end. The Czech Republic has stopped taking Russian gas. It started taking the much more expensive Norwegian gas and people's boilers started clogging up because it is worse and has more hydrogen sulfide. ...... Unfortunately, the way I see it, Ukraine will take the worst of it. EU second, Russia third and the US best... Europe will take it for America. ....
Well it is Europe's neck of the woods. They should.
Don't forget to thank ur government that they sold their own countries.

Lars, it seems that everything in your village is so far so good. But I think that, every now and then, you may still wonder how this all will end - how is your village and Family after, say, five to ten years. Because as a clever Danish guy, you will surely understand that these sanctions will stay as long as this Putin's lethal regime is in power in Russia. So thinking something else is just self-delusion...
@@pavlik_morozov_1932 Putin’s regime is only lethal to its enemies . Older people remember what a hell hole Russia was under western stooge Yeltsin . There will be no going back to that
The illegal sanctions have backfired on the west and helped make Russia more independent .
You haven’t been listening to people in the video have you . They are doing just fine ?
You should be asking how Europe and America will be doing in five to ten years with no cheap Russian energy and their debt ridden system collapsing .
And look at western “ lethal “ regimes that destroyed many countries in the last22 years eg Iraq , Libya , Afghanistan etc before sprouting your BS here
@@pavlik_morozov_1932 Nah, Europe is on the block this time. West thinks mr P is a dictator. Well he won with 60 something % of the vote. So maybe reconsider the staying power of the russians . And if you compare the prices of goods and services you'll understand the delusion of russias economic weakness. Allways underappreciated in the west.
Also one year of war and is withstanding all that the west throw at them ....and is weak?
They used allready the biggest weapon the $ (swift) , so now..what nukes? Will see. Scary times tho if we'll see 2030 we might be ok for a while.
@@trevorcrook5753 Already now, just after less than a year from the invasion, Putin's deadly saldo is more than 100K dead and crippled Russian young men.

My pleasure! Thank you for your comment ❤️
You spend a lot of time on your videos and information. Once again great video.
You asked about fuel. We pay $3.68 a gallon which is close to 3 liters in Eastern Washington. It's better price than it was last year. Last year it was $5.25 to $4.63. Unfortunately, I work in the country so I drive 144 kilometers daily round trip 4 days a week and 3 days off. Lately, 5 days a week and two days off. America has a shortage of good workers wanting to work. It adds up to me fueling twice a week costing me $80 USD.
You asked what we pay for timber. Well...6500 rubles for that cart is a heck of a deal. We pay $460 for a quarter of that. So probably $1280 USD for that full cart.
As for food costs. It's a mess. Everything has gone up in price. Chicken, beef, and eggs are most costly right now. Shortages on certain medications. This has been going on now for almost a year. I cook my own Russian food recipes a friend taught me and I don't eat out much. Refuse to pay the high cost.
In the end. You just march on and deal with it.
Thanks sharing!
Go live in russia then lol
@@pirmenybe Already working on that. Have to be able to support myself in retirement. Can't just move there without having my funds in place before hand.
A gallon is 3.8 liters.

Beer is expensive (heavily taxed) $20 for a dozen. Produce high in winter (we import it). Pensions $5,500 (government and work pensions). Standard of living is higher.
