Foreign Youtubers Are Russian State Propaganda? Are they Paid By The Kremlin?  

Support my channel. By giving me a tip you are helping me to create more content. RU-vid pays me peanuts as my channel is under what is known as a shadow ban!

I am still waiting for the last 3 years for a man to come up to me and hand me a suitcase of money for all my videos.

Well, if I’m paid by the Kremlin I’m owed a load of back pay !! 🤣🤣

Foreign youtubers in China are also accused of getting payment from the government for reporting good news about China. 😅

Thanks Sam. I am British and have lived in Russia before with my Russian husband and children. We love Russia and are coming back. We found a great quality of life in Russia so we know you and the other youtubers are for real. We follow you, Russell, Expat American, Sasha Meets Russia, Canadians in Russia etc and enjoy the reminders of what it is like to live in Russia. Thanks to all of you for providing a counterbalance to the western anti-Russian propaganda - someone needs to shine a light on the truth about Russia. Many westerners are woefully ignorant about Russian culture, history, demographics, way of life etc and some suffer from a peculiar arrogance that their own countries do not have propaganda. You show Russia as it is but for many people this is at odds with what they are fed in the west so no suprise you get these ill-perceived comments. Big hugs to you all from the UK xx

Sam, thank you for doing what you are doing. People like you just help to reduce the chances of our world being blown up.

Hi Sam. You explained it very well. In Canada if we show the positives we call it tourism...If someone shows positives of Russia the negative people call it propaganda...Thats the difference. Have a good day and keep up the good work Sam..

Sam, you would be amazed to see and hear how many intelligent people in the West see Russia in a very positive light as opposed to their own countries!

I live in US and I don't believe a single word coming out of media nor our politicians

Of course, in any unclear situation, say that this is Russian propaganda. In addition, the Kremlin is so rich that it pays at least several billion people in the world. And if you need to blame someone, for example, if the light went out, a fence fell, the car’s engine stalled, a healthy tooth was removed, a thief broke into the house, you didn’t like the movie, and so on, then blame Putin or Russia for it. By the way, the Russians are so harsh that they elect the presidents of Western countries.😂😂😂

I live in Russia and can guarantee that what Sam says is true and objective Not propaganda Also have visited many places here so can speak with some balance of opinion Keep it up Sam!

Russia is not a paradise but i love it because its my motherland. Foreigners should come for a visit and get a feeling and then decide if they want to move here permanently. Sam shows it as it is. He has a common sense.

I got told I get paid 😅. I don't even live in Russia yet 😂😂

If I could count up the amount of times I have been accused of being a Polish/CIA/KGB/CIA agent, I'd be a millionaire by now.

I get these BS comments all the time, I guess truth hurts seeing normal life, beautiful people, and propably the most beautiful country - so I guess they think it must be politicized by the lowlifes :D Me personally I dont 'combat' anything, reality just does the trick naturally

I lived in both Moscow and Kiev. Loved them both

Sam I can confirm that I am also unpaid. I gave you a shoutout at the end of my latest video by the way - thanks mate!

they can't handle the truth...

Your videos are probably the most deep of the crowd) keep it coming

the garage says "Lenin 1870 - ∞" infinity sign, because Lenin is always alive)) You didn't catch the irony)These are the encrypted words of a song about Lenin

Мы не должны думать о том, как о нас подумают другие, если на западе говорят что в России плохо, то пусть они там и сидят у себя, а мы должны просто жить нашу собственную жизнь дальше. Мне у же давно стало фиолетово что о нас думают другие

Don’t worry Sam, keep doing what you do. There are always people (unhappy with themselves), that will accuse others of this and that. It’s envy, too scared to branch out in life, and are now bitter!

I am an African, I do not support any western persistent imperialist and provocative actions on other countries. Certainly side with Russia on objective arguments, have never been to, nor enjoyed a cent of a Russian Rubble. Does that mean I argue because I am paid? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Couldn't agree more with you.

Great stuff keep it coming Sam !!!!!

All people in Europe and the US that think for themself are considered foreign agents 😏

I'm really glad you've made this video, times are very difficult in the west, they've been difficult for a very long time but now shit hit the fan as they say, people are desperate to live a normal life, and desperation makes people blind. Sometimes you have to say the obvious to help some people.

If I were the KGB commissioner for work with immigrants, I would give you a free trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway instead of a cash bonus.

"Childrens climbing frame" Shows Electricity Pylon. lol...😂😂

I enjoy all of the videos that the Brits/Americans and Australians do. Of course, I am jealous that I am not living over there myself. Most propaganda comes from the western governments...they have an obsession with hating Russia, the greatest country in the world.

Sam, you have no moral responsibility to prevent people from taking foolish risks. While it may or may not work out, moving somewhere without properly vetting it is just foolish.

Because the climate is umbereable to bring up children, one thing that has been happening in USA for more than 40 year going on is the dissapearance of children, my sister was living in Palo Alto California where my niece was born, and she was absolutamente obsessed taking care of her boys, pregnant as she was, between the milk cartoons and posters searching for lost children. If you add to that all the education imposed to them about sexuality, genders even pornography...........

Can you do a tour of Putin's yacht next please Sam, I know you're all secretly ballin' with Kremlin money lol.

Nobody was more positive about Russia than "Bald And Bankrupt". Before him I had not one clue of what Russia was like. I only knew the negative our government shoved down our throats all my life. I especially know now that everything they tell us here is a lie. The reason you have an audience my bet is because of Bald drawing attention to Russia. I Love Russia and in reality they are my people my bloodline. Our hearts melt when we see the beautiful people there in Russia. Such beautiful souls there. I miss Bald so much. And He truly Loves Russia. Please have Mr. Putin bring him back! And For You Sam, Keep up the GOOD work!

@ 17:40, that's read as "1870 to infinity."

Hold on a second why did you hide all the bears drinking vodka in this vid ?

If telling the truth is 'propaganda' then I'd like to be a propagandist too!

8:24 ''Why you need us to show you the bad, you can go to the BBC and watch the bad'' Great quote by Sam. :)

Excellent video my wife is russian and i have been to russia and can only speak positive about it from my time there

Funny how there are claims that people take money from Russia but there are no people saying "Russia tried to pay me but I refused"

I wonder where the propaganda is in today's video for example. The suburbs shown in it look so unmaintained.

Sam here is business idea If someone wants to come to Russia permanently and interested about certain aspects of life in there, you can do virtual tours for them in real time of things they want to see. Btw the neighborhood you showed is just amazing. I am packing my suitcases now 😊

I see Constantine as informative from a Russian now living in a foreign country. I see you and others as Russia is now. Wide sideways, unbelievable architecture and history, parks, and mostly very clean. Maybe they need to also watch Vaysa in the Hey to see the villages and pensioners.

Good job on surpassing 50k subscribers 👍🏻

Вам на заметку, скоро для новых иностранцев приехавших в Россию sim и банковские карты будут выдавать только после снятия биометрии (безопасность граждан важнее так хоть все под контролем будет) Все старые дома пойдут под снос в течении 10 лет (если конечно они не принадлежат частным лицам) План по благоустройству любого города можно посмотреть в администрации (по закону часть строек должна быть одобрена жителями района, просто так ничего не построить масштабного)

good job sam, all those videos of beautiful elegant russian women will never get old to me

Hello, Sam, me too Russian Propaganda 👌😂 I want to mention that actually RU-vid (western company) makes huge money on us because they take a chunk of our income

The homes in Vladimir have nice⚘️ neat gardens. But in the fields it is all weeds.😂🌱🌱🌱

Hi Sam, this is the best video ive see from an expat in Russia for a long time. very true to life both good and bad parts of Russia, I know this as i see it as i visit Astrakhan every year since 2008, well done sam, well presented 👍

I'm Canadian and love Russia. All my comments get deleted immediately.

Very good video, but this goes both ways. Just as Russia has good places and bad places. The US has good places and bad places, yet I see so many Russians commenting about how bad the US is. One of the recent references I saw was “United States of Misery”. I ask them where they have visited in the US and they respond that they’ve never actually been there. They are basing their opinion of the US on the videos they see focusing on the homelessness. As a host of a Russian, I have great respect for Russian people and culture. I also know we are more alike than not and it’s time for us to see each other as common friends and not enemies, to realize each country has their positives and negatives, but this doesn’t define us as a people.

@SamsRussianAdventures, 17:40 about Lenin - it's not 00, it's an infinity.

Thanks for addressing that issue. Even though I have watched hundreds of foreign English speaking video's about life in Russia, I too at times wonder if what I see is 100 % true because it is such a contrast from the USSR era of propaganda and life then. Russia has made a tremendous change for the good since that time thanks to President Putin. I realize you have been showing the not so glamorous part of town as you walked! I enjoy your honesty and humor.

thx for talking about this topic and yes i agree on showing the good and the bad !! balance is the best thing to do !!

I like that you show the gritty parts in this video. I feel it makes sense to check out a country before you move.

Sam, you should do a video on how you came to, or went about, learning to speak Russian. I have been studying the language for a couple of years, and though I could probably manage to communicate enough to get around, order food, get a taxi, etc., I would struggle to have an in depth conversation in Russian. It is, in my opinion, a difficult language to learn and become fluent in, but I am committed to doing just that. I would be interested in learning about your struggles in doing this.

Those who sell themselves can only think that everyone else is sold out.

We have just as many derelict buildings in the USA as any other country! And the woke shit is getting old really fast! People are pissed at the government! And the crazy people we have here! I think I would feel safer in Russia than USA! But I never been there! I would like to come but I’m to old for a more like that!

OK your channel is being 'promoted' or at least not hidden - this video was in my Home Feed. Possibly because you mentioned the words 'Russian...Propaganda'. Perhaps - just an idea - stick at least a subheading 'Russian Propaganda' in every video you upload. 😁 You might then well find your viewer--numbers go up. Good luck Sam. Keep up the great work.

‘Some goal posts with a children’s climbing frame behind it’ *_/Laughs/_* Great video.

The Real Reporter used to work for RT (Russia Today).

Sam, we in mi6 are very proud of you, because you are still in the game, not busted. Keep up snooping around

I would come to check the winter first if I can stand it coming from the tropics.

The area you walked through is not bad at all. It needs some TLC, that's all. Ramps are not common in Russia, even in older buildings in Moscow

Думаю в любом крупном российском городе от миллиона человек нормальный человек может устроится.Если еще есть какой то пассивный доход на родине,или пенсия,то вообще замечательно из за разницы в стоимости жизни.

Sam, this is one of your best videos yet. A ton of respect, as always.

Question: doesn't this scenery of yards around block of flats in provincial Russian town make you depressed? I must confess, they make me a bit depressed, even though I am Russian.

I'm from Serbia and I visited twice Russia: on FB and here on RU-vidr I was told literally at least 100 times I am paid to make positive comments about Russia. 🙄 My answer is always: 'OK, where should I send my invoice?' 😁

When was the last time you visited the UK Sam? I immigrated to the UK 22 years ago from a country that had descended into chaos very quickly, and sadly I see the same happening here. It will take a very drastic change to turn this ship around now. I imagine many others, like myself, have been watching the Russian political and economical trajectory and know that it is a ship on a good course although perhaps not there yet. It is very courageous to pack your whole life and family off to a foreign country but as long as they have a solid plan and know it will be hard at first. Hard is better than having your children taken off you by a government that hates your God, your beliefs and just truth in general.

Да такой формат очень отличается от других! Более глубокий анализ ситуации… но без политики. Хочу еще!

17:36 It's not "zero-zero", it's just infinity symbol: ∞

There is not only an elephant in the room, you got the whole herd there.

why won'tresidents of those buildings paint them? Is it that expensive? Or they expect VVP to do that? A fresh coat of pain would make a huge difference.

Yes. And I want in please. We have a family. Please hire us!

Hello, how can you get paid when they said that Russia is a failed state with no money ?

Правильно, нельзя показывать только красную площадь,надо показывать все уровни жизни в России

Hi Sam, great video. Having been to Russia several times and being married to a Russian woman I am so great full fo your content. I personally think that you show modern Russia accurately.

Their immigration service would not want to grant a visa to someone who might have trouble integrating there. If you know the country, you would be more likely to get one.

Всем платят, даже русским платят. Чтобы они ходили по улицам, ездили в метро и ходили в магазины 😂 Что касается переезда в Россию, то как я вижу, есть идеальных 3 варианта. 1) Это найти работу до переезда. Например как Gabrielle Duvoisin 2) Если у вас есть недвижимость без долгов, то можно сдать ее в аренду и на эти деньги жить в России. Ну или другой пассивный доход, типа пенсионных выплат. 3) Ну и само собой, если у вас есть хорошие знакомые/жена/родственники или участие в какой то программе как задумал Tim Kirby например. На счет Countryside Acres - этот человек очень смелый, целеустремленный, идейный и мужественный. Поэтому у него все получится. Но далеко не все способны преодолевать препятствия в жизни, поэтому этот пример не для всех. Для тех кто не любит напрягаться - вариант N2 со сдачей своей недвижимости в аренду.

I think university students who need English practice would not mind to spend an hour or two to help as an interpreter and basically help to adjust to a new place. I think it's a win - win situation.

Ну хоть кто-то снимает настоящую Россию, а не Москву)

Keep up the good work! Unbiased insights and practical considerations about living in Russia are much needed. (I think it really helps that you don't live in Moscow or St Petersburg.)

"A goalpost with a children's climbing frame behind it." Made my day)) In soviet russia, the frame climb you.

Enjoyed seeing the suburbs of Vladimir in early summer. Funky and flaking and gloriously post Soviet in its understated way, but pristine and seemingly devoid of litter. Great visuals. Noted your angst about being a foreigner in Russia and how westerners might construe it. Enough thanks. Let’s meets some Russians please. 😊

Сэм, вы всё не правильно делаете! Если вы хотите получать деньги за пропаганду, то вы должны ругать Россию!

Hi Sam , try if you like to make a video about the kids of work that are possible for the foreigners to get in Russia.

I’m Ethiopian 🇪🇹 and I’m Russian 🇷🇺 Propagandist , already my Twitter & RU-vid is Blocked with out any hate speech words! But still I am really happy 😃

Sam that graffiti about Lenin was not 00 it was the symbol for infinity.

I love the way you beat the RU-vid algorithm with this one - it was literally the first video in my list when I opened RU-vid this morning! (Your clips usually rank a little lower in my feed, or don't show up at all and I have to go looking for them). Keep up the propaganda you Russian propagandist, you!

You talk a lot of sense. Another great video

You are based Sam, not to many people like you today

Percentage wise (from my visits to Russia) it is much better in Russia than many western countries at this time.

Awesome video, great analysis. You are doing everything right. Here’s another argument - Russia is full of foreign tourists and they also shoot videos and then go home, and they also have videos with positive Russia. Somehow these videos of theirs don’t really fit in with Western media guidelines. They desperately need footage of Russia from the 90s (poor, dirty, in rags, without an army, with an outstretched hand begging for alms from the IMF, when a physics professor sells socks and buttons on the market, with empty shelves in stores and stuff like that) . But the experience of this period was invaluable. The Russians took off their rose-colored glasses. They, the Soviet people, were as hypernaive as children in relation to the West. The reality of capitalism quickly corrected their brains and they came to understand what the West really is. And they didn't really like it. And then the Russians were even more surprised when the moral values ​​of the West began to degrade into real Satanism (and what should I call everything that is going on there in terms of morality and spirituality, this is pure Satanism). In the West they really think that Russians eat potato peelings and beg.

Absolutely first come and see, check it out BEFORE moving to Russia or anywhere else! Thanks for this video ❤

Сэм, ты хороший человек. Ты так легко и понятно объяснил эту проблему, гуляя не в красивом, но всё так же безопасном районе. Если бы вам всем платил Путин, это были бы совсем другие истории. Честный человек всегда счастлив, его душа чиста.

Most are probably taking about their own personal experiences and nothing more. Learning about other countries is fascinating and interesting! Thanks for the video!

Isn’t it funny the most hate propaganda has been against China and Russia. This only made me more curious. And what amazing beautiful countries they are. I watch some RU-vidrs on China and Russia. You are doing a great job showing the true Russia. I also follow the Australian family. Definitely both on my bucket list list.

I never thought that but hopefully the controversy can spark up more viewership. I’ve always thought that Russia is no different than America when it comes down to daily life.

Great video and great work, Sam. Maybe some people need some cold water on their wishful fire. On the other hand, when you feel the pull and have the courage to leave everything behind and take a leap of faith, then probably a higher force is guiding you...

I always look in the background of the videos whether it's the dogs roaming the streets, the balconies with dirty clothes draped over the handrails, an old tv satellite dish, even rusty "U-Haul" trucks. (I'm not as into Russian toilets as you are) I viewed the rebuttal Real Reporter did and it was much better than the one critiquing him. Keep on with your videos and celebrate when you get to 50K viewers, almost there! 🎥👍
