The news media and biased stories of how other countries and their people are only seems to promote an “us versus them” or pointing out our differences. I think we should have more shows like this, not just on utube but on television as well. I wish we could all see how similar we really are and how much we have in common.

Almost everything is produced in Russia with very rare exceptions. For example, in recent years I have only seen a Pringles made in Poland and a couple more candies from Germany. All other popular brands, in my experience, are manufactured in Russia.

Never saw something like that in stores in my city (St.Petersburg, Russia) although there is a definite rise of green initiatives and places where you can take your stuff to recycle (some types of plastic, carton packaging (tetra pack), paper, glass, metal, batteries, old clothes etc) for a couple of years now, and I see more and more people doing that.

there is not as much processed food in post-soviet countries, due to many factors. I guess we still value farmers markets and even buying straight from the farmer. Our farming is also different, lacking a lot of technology and additional fertilizers when compared to western countries. this makes our food tastier and more "bio" lets say. But food industry was never so much into making instant food, because people didn't like the idea and didn't see the need for it. For example in Poland, which is post-soviet as well, there are some instant meals, but far far far less variety than in US or UK, and even now, that the idea of instant meals is developing, factories try to create healthier options. so you can find frozen pasta dishes, soup mixes or pre-packaged curry with rice, but fewer additional or chemical ingredients in it.

I haven't encountered any broken ones yet, in these double packs, but it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Thank you for being so nice! Years ago, I studied Russian language in school, and my teacher was a Catholic nun. We cooked borscht for a lesson one day.

That sounds like a memorable experience.

I visited Russia in 1988 (yes I am 61yo) and I remember people in line out of stores. We asked what they are going to buy and they didn’t know..maybe toilet paper, onions, potato or shoes!! Then perestroika and wall down and now luckily you have plenty of grocery and stuff. I bet your grandma or grandpa will remember that time. I visited Moscow and Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg and I was fascinated by your art and monuments and history.

Me watching this: “Oooh she buys the same brand pasta as me 😄”

I think many Europeans can relate to this video because your supermarkets look the same as ours 😁 Loved this video! ☺️

The easiest way to have Russian/Slavic food is... to cook at home. There are so many channels on youtube of how Russian women make pre-cooked food, frozen food, canning, etc. I lived in the US for some 15 years and I haven't become a big fan of American cuisine. At the beginning many dishes and food was new and I wanted to taste many of them, but very quickly I realized that I missed home food. So I started to cook myself. Not only did I eat familiar food, but it was much cheaper to cook from scratch. You certainly cannot cook everything and some food can be found only in stores, but by cooking yourself you can have up to 80% of your home life style.

At first I was surprised that the fruit was so expensive compared to where I am in Australia. But then I was surprised how much cheaper everything else is! I guess the fruit is cheaper for us because it's grown locally, but most of the other things we import which pushes the price up.

Hi Vika🙋I am from the Czech Republic. I am sure that you know that our countries do not have a great history.
