Disclaimer (because one isn't enough): We are not a group of professional researchers, at best we're people interested in the world around them and college students. We encourage all out viewers to use these videos as a stepping-stone to introduce themselves to whatever subculture the video above covers.
I should also note that I do not speak Russian, so my pronunciations may be off in whatever places I could not get an accurate pronunciation online for.
