Do Russians think that China is dangerous? 

Thank you for mentioning your location. I sometimes assume that all of these videos are filmed near Moscow. Knowing where the city is located helps me understand how people in different parts of the country feel about current events.

I remember watching a documentary some years ago (in the 90s or 00s I think) where people in Blagoveshchensk and Heihe would walk across the frozen Amur in winter to go shopping in the opposite city. Not relevant, but to me, interesting. Wonder if it still happens. Keep up the great work 1420

As a Chinese, this video is very mind-opening and it answered many question I had on Russian people. Fun fact I found recently is that in Russian the word “China” is “Китай”or “Kithay”, name of a Chinese dynasty when it was not ruled by Han Chinese at all but Mongolians. It’s like a foreign nation still refer the Americans as the “Cherokees” or Russia as “Golden Horde” Edit: I found some of you get offended for this comment. This is simply a piece of info I found interesting, not blaming Russians for it. The Chinese did not call Russians by the right name either

Oh boy, what a trip you made! Hope you ll visit more remote cities in the near future, and some small places too!

Bro I was sooo happy when they call you handsome 😂😂😂😂😂

12:24 She hit the nail on the head. China’s friends are whomever is beneficial for them at any given moment. When the benefit ceases, so does the friendship.

Как житель Благовещенска, я рад, что хоть кто-то приехал в наш городок.

The way you ask overall questions and aren’t all in their Face Is so relieving to me.

LMAO. 6:55 Your question on the year of 1989 didn't get through. The girls was like "1980. What did he say??". Haven't finished the video just wanna say hi. I was born and raised in Harbin so it's quite an interesting episode for me. There were quite some Russian tourists as well in my hometown. We even have a...stalin park. Great stuff as always! Cheers.

You ask fantastic questions! You really try to get people to dig deep within themselves for their real opinions, not just what they are supposed to say.

More great interviews, always interesting, my daily dose of Russian people on the street, thanks!

This guy is Fantastic !!! I never miss any of his Videos.

Wow, finally my home town. The plane tickets there are ridiculously expensive now and the train from Moscow is 6-7 days. You must be really dedicated.

I really like the spirit of the people you interview. Down here in the trenches, we're all the same. That dude with the sun glasses is awesome. Sounds like he could tell some stories. Peace.

Having lived in China for some years, I agree with the girl who studied there. There are friendships though that will go beyond usefulness in material sense. In case of international relations however, China is a friend of China and nobody else.

I salute you young man, what you are doing here is both extremely bold but also extremely clever and insightful. Keep up this great work, it will make a difference. JK

Где-то в хейхе: "Хотите ли вы попасть в Благовещенск?"

First, I was amused Daniil missing out on a date. 💔Then I was shocked by a brave girl's t-shirt! Wow, kudos to her! ☮✌☮

It’s cool that you guys brought someone you interviewed to come back to be the interviewer

This is so interesting. Stay safe guys!

The woman wearing that shirt at 10:07: massive respect.

I like that you not only added the location tag to your video description but also keep mentioning at the beginning where they video gonna take place. therfor all this "do it outside of moscow/petersburg" stuff is over

This is one of your best videos so far. Very insightful.

Bravo young man. You impress me to no end with this channel. Your reward awaits somewhere out in your future...

Btw one of the reasons I watch this channel is just to look at how gorgeous and articulate the Russian people are. Also the background of Russian cities during summer is beautiful, so many green trees. The quality of camera is also amazing!

i speak chinese. the chinese girls misinterpreted what you said because they repeated "1980" instead of 1989 - the year of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Keep up the good work tovarisch! It is particularly interesting to hear perspectives from the Far East.

Пиво начало появляться, лол. Всё на всех полках мира - китайское! И все сидят и смотрят это видео с гаджетов/компуктеров, произведенных в Китае.

That girl at 12:30 is not stupid and extremely beautiful(without tons of makeup)kinda looks like Olivia Wilde

The irony of that girl at the end!NO WAR!Good job,1420!

Hmm... 3:19. She right! And there was old anecdote: "What will happen to Russia? What will happen to Russia? ... No one knows about that ... In the meantime, everything is calm on the Finno-Chinese border". In every joke there's a part of joke...

Nice essay and well thought of questions.

It is harder to be friends with trust than so easy to be enemies with hate. Say peace and say no to war.

What a wonderful video. Inspiring people and places. ; ) K

I'm proud of the girl in the T-shirt. Very brave. Thanks for another good episode.

It is nice to see the people and the landscapes in the places you visit. Please record some more scenery and pictures of the buildings and streets. OK? Get some more commercial backgrounds when you interview people too. I like to see the people, and as I am studying Russian language, it helps me a lot when your translations are accurate. I have to play your videos at 75% speed --- just to hear the words, but I am learning. Thank-you.

Meanwhile Putin is threatening to nuke the world again, again. It must be Wednesday.

4:22 this guy is spot on. I`m from the UK and it breaks my heart to see whats happening in Ukraine, I`ve worked in Russia and loved my time there, I made many friends and it`s left a massive impression on me. Shame I`ll probably never get to return.

Cool to get perspectives from both near and far

10:44 - to tell kids all the time that 'there is always someone threatening you' - is a best way to make a nation of several millions of schizophreniacs and paranoids...

Asking people to their face if they know what happened in 1989 in China... what a good way to greet a Chinese

👍 Wow, thanks for informing us about these border cities, 1420! I'm actually surprised that you don't have more cities near each other considering your very long shared border.

That dude in the blue t-shirt by the 1945 sign is a genius! He understands it all! “They are waiting to see who wins between Russia and the USA and will clean up the winner”…. Buy that man a bells! Dialed in!

I hate these videos, because they break my 💔that we are tearing apart so much so quickly (I know that to Russian's it is not quick and has been going on/coming a long time, but to those of us in the west is seems abrupt). I wish it could have all turned out differently. 😔😔

Damn!!! As a civilized and well-educated Chinese mid-aged man, i nearly feel that i am transforming into a REAL DRAGON when hearing her saying:"We are together against the rest of the world"!!

You are a very brave young man. I wish you the best.

Starting becoming a fan of your video's...

Excellent idea of topic !

As an American I think all the great powers of the world need to work together to promote growth and sustainability not think of eachother as dangerous. If China, America, and Russia worked together they would be unstoppable

I must visit Russia one day. I remember visiting Bochum, Germany. I was at a bar drinking a business trip night away when two women at a table behind me recognized that I was an American. One was a very old woman. Seasoned. She had seen it before. Wise. The other was her daughter. I would learn through our introductionary pleasantries that she could speak english. They invited me to sit down to talk. Through about 20-30min of balled up conversations about my visit to Germany, why I was there and where had I'd been, she got to the point. "Do Americans hate us?" "Do Americans think that we Germans are Nazi's?" I could see the concern, resent, confusion and a yearn for resolve in her eyes. I emphatically shook my head and told her "No" and I explained to her that I cannot deny that some in the US still have older friends and family alive that may still a hold hatred against Germany through the eyes of the WWII. She understood. She then begrudgingly talked about some of her friends who still believed in what should be or should of been. I told her that while some Americans may still agree with this ideology, like her friends do, it is no different than those in the US still holding onto the hatred of the black or mexican americans living in the US. She couldn't understand this fully because we had freed slaves so long ago and Mexico was on our border. She even asked about Canadians. I told her they bring Maple Syrup when they cross over. It's like a bribe. She laughed. I explained that the vast majority of the US understands what happened in WWII and that we learned about it in our school books. However, the vast majority _also_ understand the fact that we live in a different time. We don't not forget the past, but we learn from it. We just want to grow, live together and have a future. She showed relief. We all took a shot of Jaeger together. She then opened up to me more about history and life lessons. There was so much more into this conversation. She was so wise and she made me think from perspectives I had not experienced on subjects I had never even thought about. I want you to know that we did have our differences. However, in the end, even with my explanation that my company would take the expenses, she picked up my bar tab (I had maybe 4 beers and 7 shots of Jaeger on it) and we hugged and parted our ways. One of the best conversations I have ever had in my life. I will keep the rest to myself. Someday, I hope to visit Russia and have one of these conversations. Instead of Jaeger, it will obviously be Vodka.

very refreshing to see real people . interview I follow ☮️

Your the man bro! What's up from New York

The questions to the guy in the Z baseball cap were hilarious.

This is fascinating, to see a Chinese city right on the horizon, the meeting point of 2 profoundly unique cultures

6:45... just a little ice-breaker question there

Way to go man! scoring during an interview 👏

You should have not forgotten her data ... ^^ Great videos

What was their full response at 6:58? The girl on the left asks her friend but the response is cut

Russian people not realizing that china plays the long game and is waiting for the right moment to take parts of the russian far east

I was there 15 years ago, there was only one tall building on the Chinese side… Now there is a whole city! Blagoveschensk stays the same…

-social credit

Wow that girl with "fuck the war" t shirt must have a LOT of courage

The lady from 12:28 onwards is amazing. I love her insight and thought processing. 💕

The girl you interviewed wearing the grey T-shirt is super cute ❤️

I applaud the woman in the FUCK THE WAR shirt. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi to the beautiful intelligent red head girl 13:00. You are so right, try not to loose hope, this nightmare must end somehow. Hopefully not with the use of Sarmat missiles, but who knows.

Great interview with the Chinese girls. Well done!

Interesting video

The guy you interviewed next to the MTB boat seemed pretty switched on. The young lady who said that, in her experience, the Chinese in the work-place tend to be duplicit (smile in the face/stab in the back), may re-enforce some of his remarks. FFS's let us stop fighting and live in peace and security. No more paranoid, neurotic Dictators. Peace and respect for differences must rule us under the guidance of wise, honest, engaging leaders. No more lies. No more Trump, Putin, Kim Jong Il, et cetera. None of them have people's best interests as part of their agendas. They are evil at heart and mentally de-ranged.

The guy at 4:50 is right. China is growing Russia is shrinking. China will need more resources. I think Russia is worried about the wrong country.

There is one thing that I realize after watching this video, "I love all people".

Did you feel like telling that guy to quit fidgeting with his jacket? I did lol

Love your videos. I love meeting Russian people and feeling a connection with them. Please go to rural Russia and interview there!!!

he got the interview and the digits, my man! 🤜🤛

Best video you made, and travel all the way to Chinese border! Bravo!

Excellent!!!!

The guy with glases (10:38) is completely right. Why are they in Russia always talking about enemies!? Paranoia.

For China, there isn’t mutual trust, only temporary beneficiary. This is true for all other countries.

It would have been more interesting if you had went to the Chinese city on the other side of the river and interviewed the people there.

nice as always

Thank you for the good work! As a Chinese, I found that we do share a lot of similarities in term of values and mindsets.

Is it me or is Russia becoming too dependent on China(economically)?

the real question is where did 1420 cop that bucket hat? asking for a friend

Una película muy interesante sobre China: "Election" (Johnnie To).

Your interviewees seemed to have forgotten that Russia was one of those colonists taking advantage of a vulnerable China when they pondered on whether China was a threat to them. In 1904, it was Japan who opened the attack on Russia, not China. For centuries, it was the Europeans treating you as THE enemy, not China.

i have a question for us in the west i would like to see..."what would it take for you to stop hating Russia and in brace them with open arms in friendship?"

Another point except for skyscrapers that impressed me is that they have strong culture, they are very family orientated. And for me it was fun to experience but it would be difficult to assimilate. I met an Austrian woman who travelled there and studied. She was single, never had kids, didnt keep in touch with her parents, in her 50s. It was funny to listen to her conversation with her Chinese acquaintance how it is good to have strong family ties, you dont feel lonely, you get married on time and have kids. And 28 yo Chinese woman was complaining that she was being persuaded to get married, that she wants to pursue her art career (they both were artists) and stay single. And Austrian woman told her that Chinese one was lucky to have a family to look after her))) I hope Chinese will stay this way - with strong family ties

Damn I haven't seen a amphetamine user in your videos before. This was the first one and I wonder if it's because it's so close to China? Cause a lot of it comes from there right now, at least into EU

6:46 -1000 Social credit score. He acutally asked "What happend in 1989?", No boundaries haha!

DANIIL ORLAIN: This is a great educational video. I learned something new about the Chinese city that is across the street from a Russian city. It made me think of West Berlin and East Berlin during the Soviet era.

Wow that guy with the jacket was really nervous

Stalin used to send prisoners to dig potatoes in Siberia, and now Chinese is going to "take over" Siberia? You know over 90% of Chinese population lives in the southeast part of mainland? Why would someone willing to leave warm cities and dig potatoes in ice field? LOL

Interesting to see the disparate opinions of the Russians just within this one city and how they express them in their clothes. Particularly the contrast between the guy at 2:27 with the woman at 10:07.

China will always look after China’s interests. They are not an active ally of Russia, abstaining on most of the UN votes regarding the invasion of Ukraine. China is very unlikely to invade Russia in the foreseeable future, preferring to flex it’s economic muscle. It may like having Russia’s business where it can get it, but it needs the business of the much bigger Western economies, hence it’s neutral positioning.

"There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests" Lord Palmerston British statesman and Prime Minister

That girl with the slogan on her t shirt is very very brave.

I really do like the vids, as an American it really does make me feel bad an ashamed that people in that region of the world dislike the west and Americans, just want to let y'all know that there are alot of good people here just like there, and of course their are really terrible people here, much like anywhere in the world, Best wishes to all and hope to see more good vids here

Please do survey in Chelyabinsk, Chita, Tuva, Dagestan.

6:51 BROOOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I enjoy this video.
