👑Would YOU Rule HERE?!🇷🇺SEE What a RUSSIAN Palace in Saint Petersburg Looks Like with an AMERICAN!🇺🇸 

Thanks Ron! See you soon.

I knew Pushkin was part African but I did not study how. Thanks for the details!

@@expatamerican3234 You're wellcome and keep up the good work. Your videos are getting better and better :)

Прадед Пушкина был с севера Африки, а там живут не чернокожие, а арабы. Виноваты ли они перед пришедшей с запада политкорректностью, что не являются чернокожими? Сам же Пушкин, судя по сохранившимся данным, был светловолос. Однако в последние годы на художники на своих картинах стали изображать его смуглым, словно он сам родом из Африки, а не его предок. Однако он запомнился из-за своего творчества, а не из-за родословной. Так писать мог только русский человек, а его родословная его личное дело.

@@АлександрИлоев-т7ы Светловолосый Пушкин? Вы бредите. Посетите в Петербурге его дом на Мойке. В экспозиции хранится прядь волос Пушкина, состриженная с тела по просьбе Ивана Тургенева. Ну или погуглите. Пушкин был темно-русым.

@@ЮлияБондаренко-ф4яВы пишете "Пушкин был темно-русым" - что и требовалось доказать. То есть, от основного населения не отличался.

Probably

в Мире!

I'd say - one of the most beatifull😊

​@@Натали-ц2фАкстись! Не один из..., а самый!!!

Glad to hear it ;)

Привет, Игорь! :)

@@sergeypopov8279 :)

Мы постараемся. Спасибо.

Yeah. It is so nice.

This is my 5th time to Russia. I just have not left.

@@expatamerican3234 And why would you leave? You children are getting a good education and also learning good values. Also all the other benefits of living in a safe country.

@@deniserothwell6325 I’m not planning on it ;)

Thanks for the comment. Hopefully more from the west will here about us ;)

@@expatamerican3234 Yes. I have been sharing your videos with friends.

@@MicheleMikalaRossArtist thanks so much! I’m also setting up collaborations with other RU-vidrs so this should help as well.

@@expatamerican3234 great idea!

@@MicheleMikalaRossArtist yes I posted one recently right before this Saint Petersburg series.

Oh really! I’m happy to hear it. I told Sveta and it is a nice city.

Great! Thanks for your comment.

Their main residence was the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. And this is just a small, humble summer house. Just for outdoor relaxation. 😆

Yes! Too small and humble for me. I personally need something bigger ;)

@expatamerican3234 True, not enough space. :)

​@@СимонВизенталь-ы7ь no este es el palacio de catalina la emperatriz esposa del gran zar pedro el grande

Thanks for your kind words.

I agree. I like the gold room.

Да

Usually you can pick your language but at this place on this day it was not a choice.

​@@expatamerican3234Strange. Though, you can find the English audio in the Internet.

The curator of the Hermitage saved a lot of the art during the revolution, by giving the tour to the revolutionaries about the history and the heritage of the people. So it was preserved for generations., unlike in France where a lot of history was destroyed or in the museum of Baghdad by the American forces.

A RUSSIAN RIVER CRUISE is my #1 Vacation choice right now.

Цена такого круиза😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

@@user-el33 я не знаю

Цена разных зависит от класса параход

​@@user-el33определенно надо попробовать лучшего, а именно Мустай Карим,и и на север Валаам, Кижи, Соловки.

Ух ты! Спасибо, что поделились.

Часом не где пышечная? Или рядом с дачей А. С Пушкина?

хорошо живете)

@@user-gd9bi2hg5m спасибо

Yes ;)

Oh thanks for the details.

Thanks Matt. I agree.

Thank you very much!

Спасибо большое

Oh you should see our next video soon where we walk around the center.

If you run around the city, then one day is enough for you, and if you want to see it, then as a rule foreigners come for 3 days. The first day is spent on trips on the subway, walking along the canals, on barges, Peter and Paul fortress.On the second day they go to Tsarskoye Selo or Peterhof. All this takes a lot of time and to enjoy it you still need at least 2 days

@@dunbay0509 Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

Haha! Good question. Josiah the Cameraman has been taking care of them. Along with 10 years of Drama Theatre training he is also certified as a Child Care teacher in the State of Florida. BUT right now we are on vacation with Kristoff and Maksim in a new Russian place for this channel and we will post it in 3 to 5 videos from now ;) You can actually catch a glimpse of it on our Telegram channel with Aurora.

The older children take turns watching them:)

Sveta and I had 3 business trips in the first 2 weeks of summer which gave us a lot of video content. You will see the kids soon. They have also been in the recent shorts.

Wow

And one more thing if I may. Your wife told about two original paintings from the Amber room, that were returned from the Germany. As far as I remember there was one "painting" and one small table or chest. There were originally four paintings (or rather four Florentine mosaics) depicting five sences - touch and smell, sight, hearing and taste. They were not drawn but laid out of small stones of different colour. And our restorers had to recreate those by only a couple of fuzzy black and white photos. Imagine their feelings, when one of those original mosaics was found and they finally can compare them both? And discover that color of the stones is virtually identicall on them both? I can imagine that it was huge relief for them. For if they have guessed colors on that mosaic almost perfectly, it means that the whole Amber room, which they were recreating based on those same black and white photos looks almost indistiguishable from the original. And one more interesting fact for you. The Room was restored partially with the funds, raised by baron Eduard Oleg Alexandrovitch von Falz-Fein, russian aristocrat, who was born before the Revolution. He saw original Amber room before it was stolen. And after he saw recreated room, he said that it looks better. Which is probably true since it was never properly restored from Peter I times til the Second World War. And amber doesn't like heat from the stoves, which were the only means of warming the palace for two centuries.

В 1837 году была построена первая железная дорога, которая соединила Санкт-Петербург с Царским селом и поездка стала не такой длинной, как вы говорите.

@@МаргаритаСоколова-ы8л Я говорил, как долго длилась поездка?

Pushkin officially became part of Leningrad city in 1938. Much much more than 20 years ago. I was born in Pushkin in 1980 and even during that time it was part of Leningrad

;)

I agree

Why thank you ;)

Я надеюсь, ему за это заплатят ;)

А я думаю, что ему не разрешают играть дома поэтому он вынужден ходить в этот парк уже 30 лет :)))

@@baltoon хаха

@@baltoon он играет для того чтоб сделать атмосферу лучше так приятнее с музыкой гулять

😅

I agree ;)

Yes. Amazing.

Ух ты! Спасибо, что поделились.

Wow! What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks so much!

Да, дворцы в Петергофе и Царском селе строились как русский Версаль, но превзошли оригинал по красоте и богатству!

@@ЛизаХ-л2г ♥

Вау. Спасибо, что поделились. I agree.

A great deal better than Versaille.

@@watchdog3301 have you been?

Thank you! It was so nice.

Очень спасибо большое

Спасибо большое

Спасибо большое

Oh wow! Thanks for saying hello.

I just looked at pictures. It is beautiful.

What do you mean? Parks without vagrants and crime?

@@expatamerican3234 the tsardom

@@BozheTsaryaKhrani it is the very least romantic

@@expatamerican3234 i mean catherine wasnt the greatest but most the romanovs were good Nicholas i & ii and alexander iii were great vladimir was amazing then the powers at be destroyed them with the soviets and now they are somewhere in between hopefully they can go back to the good ol days

@@BozheTsaryaKhrani thanks for all these details

Thanks for sharing!

Wow! That is cool. It looked old fashioned but I was not sure if it was actually old or if the factory just kept making it the same way.

​@@expatamerican3234 if the factory produces the same production as in soviet time it's equal to antiques 🤣

@@shevlad :)

;)

Sorry to hear it.

Ты хочешь сказать, что старый стиль странный?

@@expatamerican3234 сидения деревянные, окна старые_)) я такой поезд видел в далеком детстве и думал такие остались где то в глухихи деревнях, не ожидал такое увидеть

@@user-hq4rc7jb5z Да. Я тоже. Я видел этот стиль только в тематических парках 50-летней давности.

Мне нравится и то, и другое, но я понимаю, что вы имеете в виду.

@@expatamerican3234 Кстати, Екатерининский парк отрывается вечером бесплатно для всех, вроде после 18ти. Несколько часов открыт, местные жители гуляют.

Обязательно посетите Александровский дворец в Пушкине. Он ещё ламповее. В нем я первый раз почувствовал ощущение, что здесь действительно могли бы жить люди. Очень уютные интерьеры, стильно и со вкусом

Thanks! I would like to.

Ух ты!

You are the first to answer the question and also you are smart to first understand the burden that would come with it. I agree when visiting these places you must just be surrendered and take your visit is casually as you can because there is too much to see. It is better just to appreciate the atmosphere.

I agree

Россия большая

Thanks for sharing

Хаха

This is the same one. According to the pictures on display it was on fire inside but the structure did not collapse. Share this video 😎❄️

Thanks.

Nice!

Спасибо за информацию

Haha! I should have done that when I was living in Florida ;)

Wow! Very cool! Thanks for the comment. This is one of 3 videos on the Petersburg playlist.

Haha

Спасибо большое

Thanks ❤️

Yes💪🏻

Что ж, тогда продолжайте практиковать свой английский ;)

I don’t recall but I agree it is very beautiful.

Я не понимаю

Спасибо большое

Sveta told me English was not a choice this day. Usually at museums they have different language choices.
