Life in rural Russia six months after sanctions | With Lars
Ойын-сауық
Let's see if the unprecedented Western sanction against Russia had any economic impact on the lives of everyday Russians in the countryside! Check out this video I made together with Lars from @SurvivalRussia. Lars is a Dane who moved to Russia over a decade ago and settled in a small village in one of Russia’s poorest regions. He knows this country better than many people.

When I arrived in a Russian village in the Arkhangelsk region, I realized that if there was an apocalypse in big cities from the disconnection of electricity, then these guys (residents) would always survive! They have their own cattle, their own poultry, eggs, milk, potatoes, and so on!

Interestingly enough, that exact thought came across my mind when I was visiting this village where Lars lives. It certainly lacks city comforts and it’s very unlikely I would want to move to the countryside anytime soon, but their survival skills are something else

Russia is big enough and widespread in so many ways that it can be treated as an independent country. It can be expected to make its own alliances. Doing that by force however, is not an option while it is so close to the European Union.

Actually, the village where they live is in on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and it's a very good location for a village. It's just about 150 km from my village in Kotelnich district, where I bought a house in August) In my village I saw boar and moose footprints all the time on every street! And yes, it's a ve-ery forested land with lots of berries and mushrooms. People are self-sufficient there. Anyways, thanks for a good video)

What's interesting to me is that rural people from Russia feel very similar to rural people in the US. I think we have much more in common with them than we do with people in our cities.

This is exactly the sort of report I've been hoping for. My neighbors are foresters and small farmers, backyard mechanics, jack-of-all-trades. Money is always tight but their "make do" attitude usually carries the day. Our weather isn't as brutal but I see so many similarities. It would be great if you could do more reports like this, in even more depth. I get the impression that newcomers aren't that welcome -- around here, people tend to be a bit reserved but friendly to strangers. Then again, NW Washington has that reputation. Great job!

I am thinking the same thing about rural Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont -- there are a lot of similarities. Obviously, one huge difference is the opportunity to openly protest the war or complain about the lack of opportunity or things like decent health care. Makes me wonder what would have happened if the powers-that-be in Russia actually built a democracy in the 90's instead of looting the the carcass of the state and letting the Putin mafia take over. Would it be like a western European democracy, or would the rural poor feel isolated and marginalized, leaving them vulnerable to a Putin-type leader, anyway, the way we in the US have failed our own rural and working class people to the point where they can be convinced that Trump is their savior?

@@ambercrombie789 I was not going to bother replying to your question, as all too often this ends up as nothing more than endless, circular arguments: true MAGA believers are immune to evidence and reason, and life is too short to bother with such obduracy. However, since you asked in a non-confrontational way, I will respect the effort and try to limit this to less than essay length. Trump is a liar beyond even the routine definitions applied to pathology. It does not matter even when he is confronted with multiple sources documenting his lies, he will respond with MORE lies. Multiple fact-checking sources documented more than 30,000 lies over four years. The "what-about-ism" response is usually something like "all politicians lie": true enough, but his lack of shame reveals a profound lack of respect for "HIS" people, in addition to his disregard of law. Trump is disloyal, to "friends" (rather what he momentarily calls people who parrot whatever toxic nonsense he wants to amplify), family (he squandered millions in inheritance, and stole money from family: see Mary Trump.), and most important-to the nation he took an oath to serve and protect. Trump is profoundly inept: as impresario of a gambling casino, where customers freely give money with NO expectation of return, HE LOST MONEY. Trump's knowledge of history, economics, foreign affairs, military affairs, so woefully deficient and defiant of correction, reveals he either has a life-long learning disability, or is simply too stupid to care. He should never have been allowed to run for any office, and we can blame his enablers and that insane cadre of voters for sustaining this toxic liar and thief. I'm done.

Thank you very much for this insight in a rural Russian community. The feedback to the sanctions did not surprise me. Rural regions do not profite that much from economic booms but on the other hand do not suffer that much from setbacks either. Thats because they are much more self sustaining as your report pointed out quite nicely.

Thank you for a very interesting and educational video. Even though news sources here in the United States are many and varied, they naturally carry a bias toward our view of things in the Ukraine and Russia. Your showing us real people and their everyday lives is an important window to the effects of the war (excuse me "special operation"). The Russian people are not the cause of the problems, yet it is they who are hurt by it. Best wishes for your continued success. A final thought: One of the early clips in your video shows a woman shopkeeper adding up a customer's purchase using an abacus. When I was a kid 70 years ago, they taught us how to use one in grammar school! There were no calculators back then. An adding machine was big, clunky and expensive.

Living overseas, neither you nor most Americans have any idea what fascism is from which the USSR saved the whole world by paying twenty-six million lives of its citizens. Now America has staged a coup in Ukraine, overthrew the elected government and planted the seeds of fascism-Nazism in Ukraine. We Russians don't need it, so we will destroy fascism whenever and wherever it raises its head. You, like well-fed parrots in a cage, repeat only those words that the owner of your cage tells you.

How can you say russian people are wonderful, they have a history of being barbarians, under Lenin, under stalin. Or maybe you didn't read your history when under stalin, they murdered through starvation, several million Ukrainians in 1931-33. So you say they are wonderful, in destroying a country and its people, in case you haven't watched the news, that Ukraine I am referring to! As I recall, it is russia and russians that invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. They are destroying cities, villages, schools, churches, homes, hospitals, power sources. raping women, children, even men, torturing civilians, stealing anything they can, and you manage to find them "wonderful" .I didn't know that "wonderful people act that way?? Suggest you google the term wonderful , for you next article.

I visited the old USSR in 1988. Besides spending time in Moscow and Leningrad, I took the Trans-Siberian Railroad all the way to Irkutsk, so undoubtedly passed the station the author here left the train at. Back then, there were no supermarkets. In fact except for foreign currency stores, there was almost nothing to buy in the whole country. Even the foreign currency stores had maybe 5% as many goods, even in Moscow, as the supermarket shown in the video. It was impossible to get a good cup of coffee or a iced soft drink in the height of summer. They didn't exist. Food, even on our relatively upscale tour, was generally horrible unless you liked smoked cod and beets.. To see how things have changed over the last 35 years in Russia is why there won't be any uprising against Putin. The people's lives are infinitely better than they were in Soviet times...over even pre-Putin times.

@@williamyoung9401 I think many people living in the West have grossly underestimated the resolve and fortitude of the average Russian citizen. Many like Putin, some may certainly not like him. However, if you bothered to ask the average Russian if they feel a change in their government is for the West to decide...they would react rather defensively. As for becoming the next North Korea...this I highly doubt. One only needs to look at a map to quickly understand the scope and breadth of Russia's resources to weather these sanctions. Rather, we should all be concerned that these economic sanctions have only served to polarize the BRICS nations against the Western economic block. They are trading amongst themselves, now. This will only serve to accelerate the decline of the USD as a global currency reserve. Fundamentally, this move does not bode well for the average American, as a net importer of goods. IMHO.
Lars said I should check out your channel and I have now subscribed after watching this video. Nice to see things outside of the narrow lense of the Mainstream media outlets here in the US. I've always been of the opinion that many of my fellow Americans still view Russian as the Soviet Union was viewed. In many ways our nation has adopted policies that have more in common with that former nation than on the principles it was founded upon here in 1776. Nice job.

Actually some of those principals were not as they seem. King George the third was not the bully we've made him out to be. He wanted to protect the indians, he was against slavery and was against and did not practice the things that the constitution implied that the british were guilty of doing. George Washington on the other hand was raring to take over the land the Indians were living on. And was happy to use slave labor to build his home (Monticello) and the White House. Good ole Thomas Jefferson had sex with a young black woman and had a secret passage way built to clandestinely have access to her. When visiting Europe he sold a devoted slave so he could have the money to buy some rare books. Andrew Jackson positively loved slavery. Not the greatest of people I would say.

Moscow is like another world, yes it is a beautifull city but people are mostly dumb, full of propaganda shit and think that they own the world (the same will be in EVERY Capital City of the World).

Like the farmers from USA could come to Russia and learn something new and vice versa. Or a SpaceProgram with China, USA and build rockets to try to colonize the planets and not other countries! OR like China, Japan, Korea could also make some Exchange of Technology Program OR/AND Greece, Turkey, Italy could make some kind of combined tourism program.

Lars sent me.🙂 I would assume the main difference in the price of foodstuffs would be those that are produced domestically versus truly imported. For example Coca Cola is a US brand, but with some exceptions, they usually setup shop where they're distributing their products. Even if they "pull out of the country" the factory is still in Russia. The Russian enterprise could still produce the same product with no changes.
