Our western media tries to make the RU people out to be some sort of mind-numbed boogeyman, when in reality they look, sound, act, and feel just like the rest of the world. Sometimes we need reminding that people are the same reguardless of the flag.

Я хотел ответить на английском, но мне лень, так что переводчик в помощь. Я думаю, судить о рейтинге главы государства в рамках одного видео в KZread не очень корректно. Я уверен, что было опрошено гораздо больше людей, в том числе и те, кто давал положительные ответы, но они в видео не попали. Автор всегда волен править свой контент так, чтобы завоевать интерес у целевой аудитории. И потом, должность главы государства - это всегда неоднозначные мнения граждан. Нет такого человека, которого бы любили все. А уж президентов тем более. По крайней мере, у нас в стране не бегут разрушать всё на своём пути, чуть что не так, словно дикие обезьяны, как, например, во Франции, да даже в США. Да, бывают акции протестов, столкновения граждан с полицией, драки, потасовки, но по сравнению с тем, что имеет место быть в других странах, это просто небо и земля.

Not really... Putin is disconnected of the young generation who do not watch their tv propaganda. But their parents and grand parents do. He knows pretty well, that majority of Russia is still orientated to soviet times. That might be a huge problem for everyone under 25 but the others like this part to live in isolation. That's what they have been told and prepared for, especially in soviet times. They are like most of Trump supporters. Not interested in globalism, but in nationalism. So you are wrong when you say it's just Putin. It's not just Putin. Otherwise police, courts, opposition and his own party members would criticise his action. Putin prepared his machinery to be loyal and the others are silent because they are scared. The ones who do not accept that, leaving Russia. In total that means, that his dictatorship is making progress. There is a reason, why noone went on street when Putin changed their constitution in 2008 so he is now able to reign 6 years instead of 4. There is a reason, why noone went crazy (even the younger ones) when Putin did a referendum to get his years erased so he can reign till 2036. If you keep silent, you accept it. If you accept it, you are a part of this problem. So it's not Putin who attacked Ukraine, but the majority of RUSSIA. Many are unhappy because they do not understand why western countries sanction everyone. Especially the inhabitans suffer. For sure,.... as I mentioned before. They are responsible for that. Now let them suffer in isolation, so they can think about all these things happened in their country for the last 2 decades. Otherwise they will be same blind people as they are now.

Oh wait, we actually saw something similar when Cuba turned communist and the US threatened a nuclear war because of it. Also, why are you casually ignoring the fact that the Ukrainian government was supporting self declared nazi militias doing genocide in separatist regions with Russian majority? Even the US senate voted a bill in 2018 to stop providing weapons to Ukraine because of the Azov Battalion war crimes in the Donbas. Not only the Ukrainian government was supporting these groups they also integrated them to the National Guard and they were openly planning to take Crimea from Russia, even though Crimea has a Russian majority and it belonged to Russia before a Soviet leader granted it as a gift to Ukraine. Crimea and the Donbas are Russian regions and they are historically known as Little Russia. Russia should not let Russian people suffer under a regime that flirts with nazis.

Just search form "nationlism in Russia". If they want to defeat neo-nazis, they should stay in their own country. 2. Crimea is Russian? Who told you that? Crimea was always a part of soviet union. Chruschtschow gave it to Ukrainians, because most their inhabitants were Ukrainians. So borders were made by Soviets. The same is for Luhansk and Donezk. It's Ukraine. Just because in modern times these parts get more Russian because of pro-russian politics and economy, it's not Russia or your "Little-Russia". I didn't see that philosophy when Chechens were killed, when they wanted to have a separation of Russia. Refering to you Germany could take back Poland, baltic states as well as Kaliningrad. It was German since 13 century. In total, your argumentation is just bullshit. if this would be normal, every region or town would have the ability to go against their government. Texas, Bavaria, Catalonia could move violently against their governments and declare separation. That's not how politics work. That's how wars started in 18 century. When you see that Putin send over 1 million Caucasians to Crimea right after annexation, you can imagine why he needed them there to get his figures on his side. The next move is, Russia wants Alaska back because it has Russian past. ROFL. Go back to school.

I am sorry that the modern information war generated by the centuries-old confrontation of the cultures of Asia, Russia, East and West does not give us the opportunity to reason sensibly and, moreover, to understand each other. Americans live far across the ocean and are unlikely to be able to understand what it's like to live and think differently, like me, I'm not just their alter ego, I'm a different person, like my loved ones. We communicate in different languages and are also proud that we do not understand everything that is far away. Everyone knows about the USA from thousands of famous films, and everyone knows about us only from filtered news reports.

Thank you for this video. I like how you present them just as you now do. I am glad and admire that some Russian citizens were brave enough to speak. It seems that most of the young people interviewed want change but still unsure how this can happen. Beyond humans differences is still the desire for peace and normal existence. It does seem in some countries that the older hate and distrust is pushed into the citizens by current leaders and is not allowed to become the past ( Ccp China also does this to their citizens ). Peace in the World to all.

Eventhough it has been answered at one of the comments, I would like to state it again for the non Russian speakers: The interviewer repeats the opening question which is translated to English as "Is Putin a great guy?".

What kind of freadom is that when you can't slap your own kid if you can't control it? Or when they take your kid away because you don't allow your kid to participate at gay indoctrination classes at the school? Or when they publish fake news about the Ukraine situation and they block russian channels so we only see what they want to show us? How could we have never seen the Donesk genocide on TV when is 100% real? (kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWZ6ycOvg6W-mZs.html) We ony get to see what they chose to show us, independent TV stations is a mith, they are all controlled by the government when it gets to this kind of situations. I know the same happens on Russia but since the West is bragging about freedom, souldn't be different? You have the greatest president in the world, and you should be proud of him. We have grown up seing (propaganda) movies where Russians are painted as being the bad guys all the time, you have to forgive us if we believe the media when they present us their fake news. It happens that 145 millions of you Russians are sitting on 1/5 of all dry land in the world and western liders would like to see that changed. Lots of minerals in all that land, you should have been very rich if were not for the sanctions. A few years from now, essential minerals mining will start to dry in other parts of the world and tbe West will be forced to buy from you guys, your nation is poised to become rich. They would like to divide it before that happens. Stay strong!🤗

And it ALWAYS backfired. Putin is the last example. And btw, for 8 years there has been firing and shelling from both sides of the Donbass front, and Nazis on the ranks of both sides. Actually the Azov batallion has been suspiciously populated by RUSSIAN nazis for a while.....During 8 years in Donbass 3,393 civilians were killed (349 in 2016-2021)..... a total of 13,000 deaths and 1.5 million displaced people... It would have been in the hands of both countries (Rusia and Ukraine to end that war, they never did).... Now in 12 days there are between 500 and 2000 dead civilians, between 1000-13.000 total dead and 2 million displaced people. What a liberation!!!!! That is pretty much the same as the last 8 years but in two weeks....... With all, there is only one side carrying out a Verteidigungskrieg like its 1939.... Take your arguments and diligently shove them.

This is such a good channel. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻just keep up with the brave and good job

Love this video, very original, honest and fun. Thanks.

No matter what the answers are, and they do vary somewhat, there are several consistent ideas in this video. Frist, almost everyone interviewed seems 'nervous' at your questions (particularly about Putin). That in itself, says a lot about the 'feeling' of true freedom or lack of it in Russia. And secondly, almost to the person, when asked if they want Putin to continue to lead Russia, ALL the answers were a 'quick' NO! That, also, says volumes.

So, I am Russian but moved to Canada around ~2 years ago and watching these interviews hurt a lot... personally to me, the way they all answer, the way they sway and change the theme it's all so unbelievably familiar. Even if many of the people accept the state of things their answers just seem off and I can say for sure that I'd answer in exactly same way, even if I was against the government. Whether subconsciously or consciously the fear of persecution for your opinions always persisted, and growing up I tended to pick up the habits from other people - to always sway from difficult questions, never say anything definitively negative in regards to government and etc. It's only now after moving out I've started to see just how prevalent this culture of "endure, but never speak up" is at home. It's not unique to modern Russia either, I think we've adopted it from people who lived in USSR, who also adopted it from previous generations. So tl;dr things are a complete mess.

@@weebarry668 yes it is very interesting to answer later when you know what happened actually. Please keep in mind the following: Chechnya is a part of Russian Federation. In Georgia we protected civilians of South Osetia that were killed by Georgian army (which attacked first). In 2015 we signed Minsk agreements with Ukraine to avoid big conflict and stop the war there. It was very simple - all territories stay in Ukraine but their government guarantees safety of Russian-speaking East of Ukraine and their right to speak their language. However, Ukraine wasn't interested in that at all. It is perfectly known fact that we will not allow NATO to be so close to our borders but they are strongly willing to do so. Ukraine wanted to gain from the West - and this is the result. Ukrainian government knew what would happen and they did what they did. The West continued to supply Ukraine with weapons instead of forcing them to act in accordance with Minsk agreements. They failed another agreement in Turkey in 2022. The US support any war that allows them to gain. And we perfectly see who is doing what. So we have no need to say anything against current foreign policy of our government that is doing everything to protect our country along it's borders. We dod not want our soldiers to die anywhere but the West was hardly working on organising another war conflict away from their own lands. We just have nothing to do but respond. That's it. P.S. Gulags were ceased by Nikita Khrushchev who was replaced in 1964.

Just found this channel due to the ongoing conflict and find it very useful to understand the perspective from the streets of Russia. One thing you don't get with news is unbiased neutrality, and it seems like this channel can provide that outlook from the people who matter most: the people. Would like to see the older generation highlighted more, however. I find it adds an interesting juxtaposition between perspectives since they have lived in the USSR in their lifetimes, and no matter their point of view/argument they usually say something wise in some way shape or form

@@cooltwittertag Of course, but it is your responsibility to separate the cold hard fact from the opinion that shrouds it. It's just difficult to do with mainstream media, and I think a channel where you ask the people, on the streets, of all age groups, questions about the realities of the situation they unwillingly find themselves in and seek their true opinions is something to be valued. It makes it that much easier to make that separation and serves as a valuable insight into lives you won't find anywhere else.

It obviously exists and you can't speak with a complete freedom on social media or other places in the Internet where many people can see or hear your opinion, but if you say something bad about government in the chat or just on the streets like here, I guess nothing scaring will happen.

So interesting, thank you.

Except one and his Oligarchs. Russia is a nation with massive natural resources. All Russians should have free world class education and healthcare. They all should have excellent infrastructure and well paying careers. They do not have these things because the political elites are stealing from the people. If that wasn’t bad enough now they attack and kill Ukrainians. Putin himself said Ukrainians and Russians are one people! With friends like Putin, who needs enemies.

Its same in alot of countries .. the public have a certain life then the leaders of said country live a different life and view of their country and its a shame .. if u removed leaders ability to attack or go into another country and just let country population mingle they prob would get on in the most part as most just want to live and live peaceful ... for the most part there alwas some people who are outside the norm.

Pay attention to the one detail: when these people are talking about "war" in Ukraine the sound is turned off. That is because of a new law about "fakes" - words like "war", "intervention", "invasion" are banned. Also, everything, that confronts official position, is considered to be a fake. By this law now you can get up to 15years of prison...

To anyone confused why so many said things like "he's ugly, not my type, bald" and etc. The word "great guy" ( красавчик - krasavchik) also means "handsome guy"

I'm impressed by how sharp these random people are. Most candid on-the-street interviews here about politics and world events result in simplistic views on what are complex, nuanced subjects. Opinions that you can often tell are sourced from an amalgam of corporate media talking points, late night "comedians" and online echo chambers. These Russian kids seem to have at least one finger on the pulse of realpolitik and express themselves well in that regard.
