@@tyryonolofing3405 . Actually, keeping housing and food prices low is the way to still pay the low wages and by that to speed up the capital growth. Russian government is hardworking and clever. Don’t forget, devastating situation after collapse of Soviet Union. What they managed, that was the optimal of what was possible. I wish Russians would be more appreciative of their government. I am saying it, because in West we have ideological idiots or clueless people in power. Many of us in America, think that Russians are lucky! I am not exaggerating.
@@alexsimpson79 well, there are some other troubles. Yep, government does works hard, but direction of the work is quite.. Well it's just questionable. Government doesn't consists of idiots, and yes, it's doesn't politically dictated - it can use any mean at any time, if they want, except for some too harsh of costly. But the trouble is in the foundations. Russia is essentially a country, which governed in all aspects by a people, who work for the state itself. They are mostly appointed by President of his office themselves, and they mustn't even consult with duma, except for government - but with constitutional supermajority, you guess what? Government is just appointed by President on his view. That also is truth for the highest and constitutional Court, region governors up to a date elections.. So well, this isn't like everything is ok. But government policy is based on a fact, that "a true Russian" mustn't be interested in politics. Slogans are just like "elect and forget". So not it's like all is super cool. Everyone has own troubles. Now it's time for Russians to understand, that if we won't act for our future - no one will care too much about it. Well, I guess, your lessons are different - about distinctions between what lays within science, what within politics, and what can be dictated by a Law. We have already know, what results when ideology messes up with science and intervents economy without any back thoughts. Nothing good at all, that's for sure. Also internet.. Well, this is a thing. Huge thing. He is a game changer for society, so I just hope for bright future, better for everyone.
@@tyryonolofing3405 thanks for your response. Yes , Russia today is the centralized government, but I would argue, that it is exactly what you need for time being, until certain goals will be achieved. Simply , because centralized governance is is the most effective! There is no doubt about it . Of course, the head should be the clever , intelligent and able of strategic thinking. You have exactly that! Now look at us in USA , look what’s going on in Washington, two party system is totally paralyzing normal functioning of the government, by constant power struggle and blocking each other’s agenda in order to make the opponent party appear the total loser. And in addition the House of Representatives, in another words the Congress and senate are fractured and corrupt by lobbyists ( which is literally official corruption, with official bribes! ) , lobbyists we have from military industrial, big Pharma, oil, tech and you name it and as well lobbyists wealthy groups that support Israel interests and there are from other countries too. US , as empire was simply accepting money and bribes from every direction possible. To maintain its hegemony it placed 800 military bases all over the world! We , the American people are living in colony, literally, many of us on the streets as homeless! I can go on and on about all the unimaginable wrongs and injustice that’s going on. Russia rise with dignity, mental normalcy and cleanliness and value of its culture and beauty. Just try to be fair and be happy!
@@alexsimpson79 I agree with you....The system in the USA is HYPOCRISY ,as democracy (which existed in Ancient Greece )was vastly different...In the USA you got the terror of the Satanic Trinity made up of the Big Business,Judiciary and the Politicians,whereas in the Ancient Greece they elected by Lottery (in your system they elect by wallet...) and those elected were the Best members of the Greek Society (men of the older age, of spotless reputation,husbands of one wife and with decent adult child/children) and they were charged with implementing what the Greek people decided by way of debates and referendums....In your system one can only elect pack of pre-selected proverbial '''puppets''' and they once elected do whatever they want ..so in the other words in the Ancient Greece they SERVED the people,while in your hypocrisy they terrorize the people...the mega rich don't pay the taxes ... why ? Because they got corrupt ''lawyers''....Look at your ''legal'' system where justice is traded like commodities for money,for to get ''justice'' one must put upfront a bagful of money... Sad
@@RicardoJPosada interesting! Born in the USA? Whenever I hear Or see Posada, Jorge Posada comes to mind. He was a cool NYY player at the days of Derek Jeter (they are friends actually). Well, welcome to Russia. Hope you like it!

No Russian in St. Petersburg that I know would drink water out of the tap unless the building has a filter. Even if you say it’s safe, it tastes and smells terrible.
Вода для питья из под крана безопасна для питья. Но её нужно кипятить. В 80-х годах 20 века Невская вода считалась в Союзе одной из самых чистых. И детям в ленинградских школах на уроках химии учителя говорили,что пить воду из под крана можно.
@@RicardoJPosada All water in Russia is chlorinated and purified so many do not like its taste, but it is safe. There are old houses and areas where the pipelines are old and the water is sometimes rusty it might be worth treating.
@@RicardoJPosada Неправда. Вода из под крана в Питере и в Москве абсолютно безопасна для питья - я тому живой пример, пью ее так с детства, живу на два города(отец москвич, мама из Питера). И полно людей, которые наливают воду прямо из под крана. Другое дело, что в Питере вода очень мягкая, безвкусная и не особо приятная на вкус, московская вода лучше. А самая вкусная вода из под крана в Гатчине, имхо. Вообще, вода отличается в зависимости от города и региона, но в большинстве городов в России вы можете абсолютно спокойно пить воду из под крана.
Nice are you and hoping to know you better because you are a very good Russian guy. I wished the other Russian where also good. Greatings from Huub in the Netherlands
there's literally 3-4 pictures of him in Russia taken on the street,he lives a very private life and never gave an interview to a Russian tv as far as I know.Only video appearances to a few western conferences and nothing else.
@@dukebubblebutt5256 there is peanut butter in russian groceries. Marple syrup is rare but also available in bigger supermarkets. I live in St.Petersburg Russia.
Video gets blurry when u moving the camera quickly, which makes the spectator dizzy (you can fix this from the exposure triangle settings in the camera)
I think that is the best in the price-quality ratio, but not in quality. Best juice in Азбука Вкуса. It is premium grocery store, but it is expensive. Natural products also is in ВкусВилл

Hi Saghi, I have heard of people ordering things from Amazon to Russia but there’s an added fee. Here in Russia people use the Russian versions, so OZON.ru is one, and Yandex (the Russian google) has a lot of delivery services, like you can order groceries. The competition between all these companies is fierce right now since the market is new in Russia so you’ll find good deals everywhere. Perks of living in a freshly modernizing country I suppose
On Amazon, goods are expensive for Russia. There are a large number of Russian online stores where the same things are much cheaper. I don't know anyone around who would use Amazon. I think many do not even know what it is. Or many people order goods directly from China. It is twice cheaper if you buy this product in Russia. I ordered a flashlight from China for $ 5. But I saw it on Amazon for $ 18. That is, prices are overheated. This Product cannot cost that much. Well, as usual, this leads to the eternal dispute about the size of salaries in Europe and in Russia or China. Everything is relative. For one and the same job, I pay 100 dollars in Russia, and when I come to the United States, I find out that the same job costs 1100 dollars. Here's some information to think about. And so in everything - in the prices of food and goods. That is, my idea is that these goods and services cannot cost so much, in principle, since in another country the same work and the same goods are several times cheaper.
People would mostly use russian and chinese services of that kind. The kinds of Amazon and e-Bay will hardly get a foot in the door of the russian market there simply for the fact those russian and chinese services offer better deals and conditions for Russia.
Странно, что вы бекон в других магазинах не нашли - по моему, он везде продается... Творожные сырки не "с водой внутри", а это кисломолочный продукт - ферментированное молоко) Вроде йогурта. В Питере(и в Москве тоже) можете смело пить воду из под крана - я лично всю жизнь ее пью и кипячу на ней чай =) Многие марки, я думаю, будут незнакомы - в России подавляющее большинство продуктов местные. Да они даже в разных городах различаются. Я, например, живу в Москве, и когда я приезжаю в Питер к родственникам, я вижу незнакомые для меня местные питерские марки продуктов, которые я не видела в Москве.
I can't believe you actually found pasta sauce! I had to get "ketchup for spaghetti" and try to make pasta sauce out of that; it wasn't very good, and I didn't know at the time how to make it from scratch. However, if you make some homemade cheeseburgers (they'll call them "Gomburgers") your Russian friends will love them. The only burgers they're familiarly with are from McDonald's. Back when I was there (1999-2003) there was a popular street food of Turkish origin, and they were everywhere, called "Shashleek" - chicken cooked on a spin, shaved off into a pita with vegetables and some kind of cucumber sauce for about 16 rubles; amazing! I wonder fi those are still around? If you see any, give it a try.
Shashleek are definitely still around! Yeah I still have trouble finding pasta sauce, and arrabbiata is my favorite but they still make it super bland and sweet. I found a market where I can buy hot chili peppers and I throw those into a frying pan with the sauce
It is called SHAWARMA - meat and veggies wrapped in lavash bread. It is still VERY popular in Russia. Also he does not need to cook hamburgers as they are sold EVERYWHERE in Russia - McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Carl's Junior are opened pretty much in every city in Russia. Also every meat restaurant has burgers. It shows that you have not been in Russia for a long time.
I've never been to Russia but, from what native Russian youtubers have said in their videos, you should not drink the tap water in Russia without using some sort of special filter.
They are right! I should have made that clearer in the video, my friends and I never drink the tap water unless it is boiled. You won't get seriously ill from drinking it form the tap, but you can definitely tell it is not very clean from the taste. You should buy your water at the grocery store to be safe :)
In fact it depends on the place.St.Petersburg is notorious for bad tap water. Just as many big cities. Some smaller places, villages and so on might have great drinking water coming out of a faucet. Filtering though has become so popular, that some newly built houses have an extra faucet, next to the normal one for drinking water pre-installed where the water would go through a filter. Some people would install those on their own or buy an extra filtering decanter for drinking water.
@@RicardoJPosada These are the consequences of Soviet agitation. Since the 50s, we have been convinced that the safest water is boiled. (this makes sense, so dangerous intestinal diseases were defeated)
The water which is coming out of waste waste treatment plants is normally very good, however due to a long and sometimes very old city pipes system it can be contaminated with too much iron oxide and bacteria which accumulate in some stagnant zones of the pipe system. In order to avoid bacteria contamination water treatment plants add chlorine to the water. It is a combination of chlorine and iron oxide which gives unpleasant taste of the city water, but otherwise it is safe enough to drink, but not tasty. So if you want water without unpleasant taste, you can use bottled water or install a filter just before your tap.
@@RicardoJPosada магазины не любят, когда у них кто-то снимает на видео. особенно могут быть против магазины с одеждой. они боятся, что кто-то найдёт у них подделку, на бренды.
@@RicardoJPosada Oh wow I see. Thanks for the speedy reply. Last question: what phone is then one use to record this video? It can be seen in the elevator mirror shot.
A lot of people have antibodies already and there’s a big surplus of vaccines, cases are very low and the country has been closed to foreigners for a long time!
I just remind those foreigners who want to say that prices are very low in Russia: Our salaries are much lower than abroad. The low prices of the products do not cover the difference.
Это слово с вариативным ударением, верны оба варианта. ТвОрог впервые появилось ещё у Даля как региональный новгородский вариант, зафиксировано у Аванесова/Ожегова в издании словаря 1955 года. Три словаря (Резниченко, Скворцова, Лопатин) считают твОрог - основным вариантом. Еськова и Каленчук - вторым допустимым. И только в книге «Русское словесное ударение» М. В. Зарвы указывается только вариант творОг.
@@RicardoJPosada both variants are used (depending on the city or even on the family) and its fine to say either way. I also say tvOrog. I'm originally from south.
