Do you hate Americans? Russians speak out after 9 months of sanctions 

So proud of my people. No hate, no racism. I am proud to share the land with these people and being Russian myself. We have good chances and perspectives with such citizens!

I was born in 72 and remember the days of the cold war. We were taught in schools that Russia was the enemy. I learned differently, however, when I visited Russia for the first time. It us refreshing to see people, on both sides, realizing that we cannot be held responsible for what our leaders say and do. I have many friends in Russia, and consider them family. If only people.would see past the political smoke screens they would realize we are all the same, we all want the same out of life.

Im an American Who moved to Russia 9 months ago. Ive been treated so good while I've been here even though I speak no Russian people are so friendly. Russians have no hate for Americans like Americans have hate for Russians.

Being the son of my Russian mother I've experienced both worlds. All governments have thier own agenda. But the people are the same. We both want peace and happiness and to live our lives. Oh and listen to death metal. At least me and my friends in Russia do 🤘🏻 lol

Какой-то некорректный вопрос "Вы ненавидите американцев". Сразу установка на негативный комментарий. Дальше куда корректнее в ролике "как вы относитесь к американцам?". И последний респондент ответил лучше всех. Нине старалась, в следующий раз получится лучше, я уверен.

This goes to prove that despite stupidity of governments people can still get along.

2:25 "because they are smarter than their leader" 😂

I'm always skeptical about this sort of videos cause you never know what the selection is, but I was surprised by this one anyway! I woulda expected a lot more prejudice and hostility: I saw some guy interviewing Poles about Russians - there was so much venom and hate, some ppl were literally wishing death to regular citizens - so if your interview doesn't tell a lot about the whole nation, it does show something positive!

These interviews are much appreciated & there is a big audience for them, especially regarding Russian public opinion. I hope you keep doing it. ❤ Hearing what people think is the best way to peace, no matter "what side" you believe is ultimately right. If we're not (ultimately) working towards A Lasting Peace, what even is our goal? ^^ ❤

Americans, Chinese, Russians, etc.; we're all beholden to someone else's motives and ambitions. We should all be able to get along. I do not find any of these people to be my enemy, only friends I haven't met yet.

We appreciate this channel for the honest and concise information. Keep up the good work.

This is an outstanding format and it is really encouraging to see and hear what people think. These ordinary people bear no ill will to the average person in America and their attitudes on this are very mature. Essentially, "they" are "us." I salute them and feel the same as they do. Once again, it shows how average, everyday people feel about their fellow world residents. It's despotic, incompetent and corrupt world leaders that people have disdain for, and that's as it should be. And kudos to Nina - she was fabulous!

Nina. Good job. Not easy talking to people on their way down the street.

This is really good. Thank you for this!

This is a very good understanding of what is going on in the world. Russians seem to be correctly informed and made good conclusion. I as an American citizen also lived in Russia this type of understanding makes me proud of knowing the Russians first hand.

Thank you Nina and thank you both for sharing. Hope you are blessed in your endeavors. Keep up the great work it’s good to see the updates in between the regular videos can’t wait for the next! Till next time from The states.

I like the "street talks" channel where Nina tries to figure out what the Russians think of the Americans (I am Dutch). However I would have liked that Nina asked the WHY question more: 0:58 "I think they are deprived of the truth" WHY do you think that? 1:05 "they are the ones who are confused" WHY? 1:17 "I'm disgusted with them" WHY? "Their behavior..." (too vague). I understand that asking deeper questions may lead to an awkward situation with a strange interviewer in the street. But now, all I have learned is that many Russians think Americans are people too (no surprise I think), but they (= the Russians) feel sorry that they (= the Americans) are being manipulated. Why do the Russians think that? PS: I am a big fan of your deep dive reports 👍

Thank you , RR . Thank you , Nina , A good idea , looking forward to more uploads . 🐺

By the way, you can see that most of this video was filmed on the campus of the Moscow State University and some parts of the video - right in front of the university dormitory (Ramenki district). So most of the young people interviewed are probably students

Hey I really appreciate all the great content that you are making and how you are showing us things that we otherwise wouldn't be able to see! Thank you for that. In this video though, I think it would have been better (from a journalism point of view) to ask an open question instead of a closed question. Anyway, just a small side note because you mentioned that Nina studies journalism. Thank you, stay safe and don't change :)

Fantastic reporting! Keep it up! Nice new format! Welcome Nina!

I’m glad that most of them don’t see the common person as bad but that the government is as corrupt and inept as a government can be. We the people should join together and tell government screw off.

As an American these people have some very intelligent answers and I also have no negative things to say about Russians

I’d like them to know that majority of Americans feel the same way about them. No hate or negative opinions about them, that they’re just people living in a different country. I know myself any Russian I’ve ever met has been extremely kind, generous, and thoughtful. A bit strong in character sometimes, but they’d literally give you the shirt off of their back without a second thought if you needed it. I believe it’s our governments who keep stirring the pot and don’t want it’s citizens to get along for whatever reason. Now, in the internet age we can all see through the nonsense and see that each of us really have so much more in common than difference. Let the governments hate each other. That’s their problem. The people will just enjoy each other! 🇺🇸 🤝 🇷🇺

as an american i dont blame the russian people i want to travel to russia so bad i love learning about the people and the country hope war ends soon with peace so i can travel soon much love

Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Great work! Keep going!

Keep up the good work guys!

Nina, welcome to the family.. I think it is great you have come to help.. Tell the people you meet that they are right (as far as this American is concerned) We are like them and they are like us.. we, all of us, just want to be happy and live in peace and safety.. Thanks for doing this. I look forward to more of your street reporting..

Thanks for such thoughtful videos! I lived in the States in 2008 during presidential elections, I studied there. And I understood that they are very naive people. They believe their politicians, while in Russia such things don't work. But they are really kind and I do have a lot of friends from the US.

I think in inclement weather it would be good if many of these interviews were inside rather than outside during the winter, it seems that most people seem to be in a big hurry to get out of the cold.

Nina, you are an excellent journalist.

Very refreshing

I'm American and i don't get the sense the Americans hate Russians. I think it's the opposite. Americans really just hate other Americans 😅

Great idea...i love the Asian Boss channel...somewhat like this with questions about America/China...of course, they like Chinese, Americans, but...the governments are a totally different thing...Interesting that some people were guarded here. If this reporter were in Chicago, there'd be a line of happy talkers!

Well done the new reporter

Хороший канал, показывает две точки зрения как положено, не освещает все однобоко. У вас ,я думаю, хорошая перспектива по развитию. Вы та самая мягкая сила, которая может донести достоверную информацию иностранцам и нам показать их позицию

There are good and great people from every country. We all want a safe and good life. Love for all people of this earth. Peace to all.

Such a amazing Start keep it going ❤️

Надо было лучше спросить:"как Вы думаете,Михаил Задорнов был прав,когда говорил про американцев "Ну тупые!"?

I'm american But I'm not USian I hate it so much when worldians indulge US exceptionalism by naming them americans

Thank you for this. Subscribed and recommending to others.

There is a big difference between hatred and contempt.

I don't hate Russians either. I'm an American living in Chicago and along with your channel and others, I've been able to see modern Russia and find out about Russia in almost real time. Spasiba!

Hellooooooo Nina 😜 Please don’t hate me because I am an American.

I love people but I hate politicians.

We regular folks around the world can ALWAYS get along and love each other. Its always and has always been the ego filled sociopaths in charge that can never get along. If we can change that formula we may have world peace.

Nina, ask more open ended questions. When you ask "Do you hate Americans?" you're showing a bias in the question itself. Better to ask "What do you think of Americans?" which is neutral and allows the listener to not think you're trying to steer them to answer in a negative way.

Good idea, didn't work well, but it was worth a try. Biggest problem is we all want the same thing, a place to say, enough to eat and a place where we can walk safely down the streets. The only problem is All our Governments have a different idea.

I am from Russia, now I live in the city of Temryuk. Although there is no hatred towards them in Russia, I hate them.

Best wishes for your journalistic effort. I hope that you get a million viewers on your channel soon.

Took a holiday in Asian Russia over 15 years ago. Great people.

Well done Nina. I like this kind of aspect of interviews. A little like the 1420 channel in Russia.

Well done Nina 👍👍👍👍

Most Americans don't even think about russia

хороший канал. желаю скорейшего развития.

The Russian people seem to be mostly private with thier opinions but understand that genuine information is not always available to the masses. Thanks for posting. Welcome to your new associate.

EXCELENT...GREETINGS TO YOU ALL FROM USA AND MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 ❤️

Hate is the wrong word. Disdain is the right one.

This should be in trends

If people of each country were to sit togather and resolve international issues the world will be a much wonderful place. It's when we leave things for politicians that things go bad. Even UN is useless cause there is no conference and body of ordinary citizens to look at international relations. We need to drive this concept to its execution and every govt which is elected by these same people will oppose such ideas.

I love Russian people

Great format, i find it very disheartening that so few of my countrymen as so few questions regarding the leadership. Even after their repeated disinformation..

Nice video Nina 😃👍

When the respondents said "they don't know the truth" it would have been interesting to understand what truth in particular they are referring to

As American I just wanna I love & fully support Russia wish I had the money move there cuz I would have moved there yesterday I no longer wanna be associate whit the US of terrorist

Welcome Nina - great job

It's true. The people are smarter than their leaders. A tragedy of the human condition, perhaps.

Oh the irony ,

Nice vid! Thanks

Kudos

The regular people are the same as us. Some good some bad. I'm disgusted with both governments. I like this short format. Longform is fine also.

First viewer and liker from Zambia

I concur with the older couple who are disgusted by the behavior of the Americans. One doesn't grasp how deeply ignorant of geography and world history is the average American until you live in the United States. The degree of moral complicity that the People share with the members of the Money/Power Club for the carnage they have committed is an open question. The fact that they are so quick to defend the ear-tickling narratives they have been fed with their mother's milk that tells them that they are so exceptional that they may operate beyond judgment of good or evil does not bode well for the weight of their karmic load or the final disposition of their souls.

The US has sent artillery too Ukraine, MLRS Systems too, this cant reach 1200 miles

I apologize for our leaders (US) against the Russian Federation for their profit $$$$$$$$$ and their new world order

At least we agree on one thing...I don't like our Govt. either. Arizona, USA

I haven't seen the long form but these are interesting. Sometimes my attention span is only this long. Sometimes I also watch 1420. This seems similar but you are going to stay in the big city? Or cities? Out in the boondocks things may be different.

My family survived in 1990s because of American help. I'm still grateful to them for humanitarian aid, for save place to many people from Russia, especially scientists. If any disaster G-d forbid happens to america I would personally welcome them and send humanitarian aid. We also have large religious ties. A lot of Jewish, Buddhist, thelemic, Wiccan teachers in Russia are from US or learned from US teachers. I have friends who live in US or made startups there.

Комментарий для продвижения канала. Это ДОЛЖНО быть популярным.

Very interesting. Nothing scientific about this quick survey, but it looks like more people from my part of the world (french canadian) have a bad opinion of Americans than Russians, mostly about politics.

Ordinary people from all of the world are not enemies. But politics did all for this. Peace for all.

Same in Canada

Welcome, Nina, and thank you for helping us understand the thinking of the Russian people. Now, my observations (having traveled and lived abroad extensively) is this: the importance of a free press for the public to gain information. I think in Russia, the free press has been stopped by the government. So, older folks that only use TV are getting only government propaganda. Younger folks, and mainly mostly urban, not rural, use other internet methods to get news, so they tend to get a more balanced view. Of course there are always exceptions. In the US, we have a free and open press, but most of the 24-hour press tends to bias one way or the other. Therefore, if a person only gets their news from one source, then their thinking will have that bias. Unfortunately that is most Americans. Also, the social media algorithms tend to push more content into our news feeds that supports what we have already been watching. The goal of social media companies is to keep us watching their content, and they know that getting us angry, to one side or another, will keep us watching their content. So we have to be careful to keep using unbiased media, or to keep a balance in what we watch. Most people don't do that, so you tend to see people that are very right wing or very left wing, and the old days of compromise and dignified respect in media and politics are nearly gone.

Interview your stat run tv presenters and tell me who’s brain washed then.

Questions that were asked here seem quite vague. Should have asked about the specifics like the view about American government and sanctions. And may be asking people for a minute of their time would be more nicer way to approach.

I am a Filipino!! Yes, we are all humans.. I subscribed because I felt interested on the very different views of Russians after watching your content. I believe they are very positive and be welcomed more in this world. I hope I can visit this place, Thanks, and great content!

Я из России, и я всех люблю, и американцев тоже!

Interviews are good as its always better to hear from real people rather than media driven propaganda. But the problem is that you've posed the wrong question as its silly to have such a generalised question and labelling every single American the same - they're all different. Ask better questions next time! Journalism 101.

we are not confused

The people of America feel the same way about the government

It's heart warming to know that Russian people will, for the most part, not automatically condemn us for the actions of the warmongers who run our government. Thank you Nina, and know that more and more Americans are waking up because of videos like this.

Какие красивые люди у нас !

The streets signs make me think of Aldi.

Old style of reporting plus a little bit of this segment is inserted in between will be nice.

All well said it is the people who make a country an I am fine with Russian people, we all brothers an sisters of Earth

Лет 15 назад я смотрел шуточный опрос блогеров в России и сша о нанесении превентивного ядерного удара по нашей и их стране, просили подписать петицию. Все американцы без исключения подписали эту петицию, а один сказал: "Я подписываю, не подведи, брат!" А в России эту петицию не подписал ни один человек! Как вы думаете, как я должен относиться к америке и американцам???

People throughout the world want the same things that make living worthwhile...families, friendships, freedom and its responsibilities, and peace. Governments manipulate people to retain and increase their power.

Wow❤

I feel the same way about their government but as people they're among the most friendly you could possibly find. I've only been to the US a couple times but I've always been treated very well, talked to by complete strangers, got invited to bbqs, college parties etc while there. I even had an American gf for some time in Japan. I can't say the same thing about Russians (but also Germans and Scandinavians), they tend to be too direct and sometimes rude. Even on Aeroflot and at the airport in Moscow very few people greeted me with a smile. I'm not saying I don't like Russians, I just find it hard to communicate with them. But I'm half Italian and half Japanese and in both countries people aren't very direct and you're supposed to read between the lines so it's probably just the fact that I'm not used to very direct people.
