The Russian population, as smart and creative and interesting they might be, have absolutely no political meaning. They are political zombies. That's why this war can never end aslong as the 0.5% of the political people in Russia want it to end

For patriotism, you don't need to support your government. But you do need to support your countrymen. Whether it is as a soldier, as a partisan, as a politician as an activist, or as a saboteur. You're not doing any of this for any government. You're not doing any of this for the soil you grew up on. But you're doing it for the people who you share it with.

Hi. i am 19, Russian and I live in Moscow. I hate the war and I strongly oppose the current russian government, I am afraid of the police and I realise that the political, social and economical situation in Russia will be worsening in the nearest future. But I find the thought of leaving my country absolutely insufferable. This is my home, this is where my friends and family live and this is where I belong. I understand why people are leaving this place. They do not want to support war, they do not see their future here and they are afraid. So am I. But I do not plan on moving, because what happens to Russia and Russian society is my responsibility as well as all the other people here. I want to be a part of the great future of this country. I love Russia with all my heart. I believe that it will once become free and will prosper. Russia does not belong to its filthy oligarchy, greedy politicians, army and Vladimir Putin. It belongs to me and I belong to Russia. Peace and love. Russia Will Be Free

German DAF (German as a foreign language) teacher here. I've seen two full introductory courses worth of Ukrainians here (Volkshochschule Stuttgart), but only 5 males. One was around 18, probably below, and came with his mother, two were old and two were maybe in their thirties, though at least one of them has since gone back to Ukraine. I suspect he simply accompanied his wife to see she'd be okay and checked out the course, because he could. No, Ukrainian men aren't fleeing. Not their country, at least. Not in sizable numbers.

I'm in Poland right now and there is a very interesting development here. Till February 24th there were 1.5 Million Ukrainian residents here, mostly male, young and working as a result of work-related immigration in the 6 last years. Now Poland gave shelter to approx. 2.5 Millions of refugees, almost completely women, children and old people. The economy suffers heavily because the male Ukrainians returned to their homeland in order to defend it. No one forced them to. There was a mass exodus of males in the first weeks of the war. Explaining that Ukrainians fight because they can't leave seems to be a part of Russian originated defamation campaign trying to present Ukrainians as cowards or victims of the Nazi-clique which sends them to the front lines. They are not cowards, they are brave beyond understanding.

There are different types of state, which appeared under the influence of religion, climate and population of the territory. The most popular are European and Asian. European states are good because they provide a good standard of living for an individual and respect freedom, there is democracy. In Asian countries, it is proclaimed that the common good is more important than the personal. Dictatorships often arise in such states, but each phenomenon has "+" and "-". The Asian state system is able to mobilize and give a strong rebuff to the enemy. Mostly Slavs (Europeans) live in Russia, but Russia is the border of Europe and Asia, and at different times it was either an Asian or a European country. In the Middle Ages, Russia was conquered by Genghis Khan and subsequently Russia was a European state with an Asian form of state. Ukraine at that time was not conquered by Genghis Khan and remained more European. Therefore, many people in Russia believe in a collective path to the good of Russia.

@@bjornh4664 Yeah I get all that, but by doing this you keep feeding this Russia vs US stigma/rivalry. By doing this he also frames the question in a particular way as we all know Russia and the US have a certain history, whereas it would be more neutral to talk why people flee in general.
I really enjoy your interviews. Seems to be a mix bag of opinions. In rural areas people seem to be more content and satisfied with their lives. In Urban areas it appears lots of young people are hoping for a better future. But older ones are more content. Probably similar in a lot of countries.
“Freedom is being strangled here”, It couldn’t be said any better.
I had a Russian girlfriend who insisted on sleeping without air conditioning on 80 degree F summer nights because she never had it in Russia and it’s “not natural.” So she had to sleep nice and “natural” on the couch because there’s no way I was turning that shit off in the bedroom. 🤗

I knew a Russian nurse who run with her family from Russia to Prague just after Gorbachev time. They were working in Russia, in the hospital, but no salary . For long months. They fell in Prague like living in heaven.They supported their mother in Russia. She did not get her pension for 2 years. She had to burn all her furniture in the winter - not to freeze. And other old lady, in a little rural house… She said she is very lucky. Each winter she has enough cabbage and old dry bread from the summer, so she is not starving. She was really very happy about it. Putin came and helped them out of this mess. The state slowly started working again . I know old people LOVE HIM!!! It looks that young people do to.
Keep doing the good work

I would ask those young guys (especially that one who didn't see the war) if they will be ready to send own children to war.
To the lady's point of Jews being first allowed to leave, that is exactly true. My boyfriend was in the group in 1989. He didn't leave because he couldn't adapt as that lady says. He and his whole family left because why would any smart person continue to live in Russia? Especially as a Jewish where you were constantly 'shit' on? And Russias not racist.....that's just 1 example. Believe me, they hate blacks, jews, Asians. Don't let Putin fool ya with all his Ukraine is racist and we are not and must help those people pppfftt. Russia is HUGELY racist!1 And yes, I know America is racist too. We have idiots here, but we KNOW we have racist problems and admit to them. But on a whole, US is a far more tolerant country

Great vlog ! You very brave !
trust me, its the same people i met in russia whos happy and grateful to the government for the fact that they have to survive on their extremely small salary, work 24/7, never being able to afford vacations abroad and so on. old veterans or just hundreds of thousands elderly people here live in a worse conditions than homeless in some canada.. and u can see them everyday going to supermarket, counting their last penny to buy a loaf of bread. those are the exact moments when u realize u dont want such government in ur life.. the one that will never care bout its own nation. was really glad to hear rational explanation from the open-minded part of older generation

What 's the lie , I haven 't seen one who couldn 't buy bread here . If you are working or retired , you have no problems , so it is everywhere . For example, I receive a pension of $ 165 per month and do not experience any problems in anything , because we need to look not at the salary level , but at purchasing power parity.

Be careful man. You are definitely on the list of people they plan to take down when attention decreases on your channel. Just timing. What you do is important, thank you fir that. You better have solid contingency plans bro.

an interesting topic for reflection, and as usual you can look at it from different angles. On the one hand, they left and God bless them, the fish is looking for where it is deeper, and the person is where it is better. on the other hand, it is important to understand who left, where they left and for what reasons
