I was Told Moscow Russia is Too Dangerous | Russia 2024 

Ездют и ездют иностранцы. От них медведей приходится прятать с снег круглый год убирать, листья в зеленый цвет красить. Это очень неудобно. И медеведи депрессуют.

The most dangerous thing in Russia is a very high chance to fall in love with the Russian language. It is the treasure of the mankind

As a person who grew up in St. Petersburg, I am ashamed of old man who did not hold the door. Please be careful with you camera.

Чувак реально наслаждается жизнью, судя по его видео он уже пол мира объездил

Вам попался невоспитанный человек на выходе из метро - у нас принято придерживать двери, чтобы не ударить следом идущего человека. Хорошо что с камерой все ок

In Russia is better to use "Yandex maps" instead of "Google maps". It is local software and much more accurate. It has English interface also.

So a little story here. I traveled to the US in 2014 as a Work&Travel student from Russia. After landing in NYC, i was trying to save some money and find a cheaper way to go from the airport to the Grand Central Station (I needed to go to Boston and to Provincetown afterwards). I was kinda short on money that's why I haven't used the train. And I was COMPLETELY lost in the middle of nowhere several hours later. I didn't have a SIM-card, so i was buying coffee in McDonalds to use their WiFi there and figure out where the hell should I go. I was scared because that didn't look like a good neighbourhood at all. (I was 19 yo) But thank god I found a very nice lady (black if it matters) at around 12 am standing at the bus stop. I asked her for help and she not even walked with me to the right bus stop but also payed for me since I didn't have a card and gave me some other useful advices. God bless that lady and her family. The point is: there are a lot of good people everywhere around the world, don't judge others based on their skin colour or religion or whatever. Welcome to Russia, my friend!

As someone from Panama who backed pack Europe and spent a Month around Russia last year I have to say it was my favorite destination. Russians are among the most polite people I’ve ever met in my life. I think Putin and his actions and the U.S. has branded them horribly. I can’t wait to go back there soon.

No graffiti! No homeless addicts or thugs. No garbage on the ground. No poop and pee.

Заметьте, сеть Украинских ресторанов - в Москве. Стёкол ни кто не бьет, не поджигают, свастиками не разрисовывают, не пикетируют, красной краской не заливают, сотрудников не избивают... а с достоинством ходят туда обедать, часто целыми компаниями. Так кто в этом мире дикари?

What many people say about small towns in Russia and that only the capital is beautiful is NOT TRUE. I’m from a small city in the north of Russia (in Khmao) and our city is super clean, yes, there’s not a lot of entertainment, but there are beautiful places for walking, crime is low. It’s cold, of course, but I love my city. I’ve been to many cities in Russia, in different regions, and everywhere it was very pleasant, safe, no drug addicts and clean With love from Russia

I am enjoying your videos showcasing your trip to Russia. One day I will visit there. BTW - I am a Black woman who has traveled the 4 corners of the world. When I visited China I was frequently photographed, and many people wanted to practice their English with me. I had a great time in China and was treated like a rock star. Keep your videos coming. Safe travels.🙋🏾‍♀️🌎

Какой хороший лапочка Сам со всем разобрался, гуляет, кушает, радуется ^^ Побольше бы таких

Я от смеха чуть не умер когда субтитры перевели эти 2 булочки как "две лыжи для педофилов"

Hi, the sour cream was for your soup, it makes it creamy, but also cools it off. A Russian tradition 😊

Hi my name is Stefan and i from Republic of Moldova the pos sovietic country of USSSR. The all people in Moldova speak russian leanguage, maybe 98% and i living in Moscow 5 years. 100% this city is most famous. Sorry for my english but i wont say to all people who living in USA, don’t listen the bad word obout Russia, Don’t listen to your media, they deliberately impose on you the theory that Russia is bad.

Даже забавно смотреть, как приезжие иностранцы сначала боятся ходить по улице.)) У нас в России безопаснее, чем во многих странах Европы.

My friend sent me this video and asked if the $5 bucks for a 50 gig cell-plan is real. Told him I have an unlimited plan for $8. I think I broke his world lol.

I traveled to St Petersburg years ago for work, it was absolutely beautiful. I've traveled to most of the larger cities within the US and I was so impressed with how clean Russia was, no graffiti, no bums laying around on the streets, no pan handlers on the street corners, etc, etc.

Ich war vor weniger als einem Jahr in Russland und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Sehr nette Leute, schöne Architektur, gute Atmosphäre. Ich möchte dort noch einmal vorbeischauen

Solyanka without cream... you're arrested for food crime ))

I like how much beauty the Russians put in everything - subway stations, building architecture, what a beautiful city and country for all of us to enjoy. Peace from California.

Смотрели вместе с медведем с русскими субтитрами. На 6:16 я подавился чёрной икрой, пришлось запивать самогоном. Медведь от удивления порвал баян. Хорошо, что реактор в подвале не остановился.

I've started watching a lot of videos from Moscow. I'm always impressed with how clean the city appears.

As a Russian, I would like to thank you for visiting our country and hope you will have the best trip!

Moscow is much nicer and safer than New York City can ever be.

I'm so sorry that man didn't hold a door for you🥺here in Russia it's really uncommon, people usually are more careful, but yeah same happens to me sometimes❤

I have lived in Moscow for 22 years. It was so nice to see tourists in town. Locals always kind and helpful for tourists. Russians are very welcome people. I miss my hometown, thank you Sly for this videovlog

Жесть! Иностранец разобрался в нашем метро быстрее меня😂😂😂 Молодец, бро!

Dude, its just weird to hear you always keep saying about "Oh, other people have cameras, im good then" You can film whatever you want, just be respectful. Most people dont give a crap about you filming them or surroundings. Ill recommend not to film police but in Moscow they pretty cool with that, some shop's administration might be unhappy too, but usually people will approach you and politely tell you not to film here. Its like you missing the vibe by keep trying not to bother people. Just chill, if Russians wouldn't like something, you'll know about it ) From Russia, with love

Biggest threat when it comes to travel king to Russia at this point is going back to a western country and speaking good about anything in Russia.

Что многие люди говорят про маленькие города и что только столица красивая- это НЕПРАВДА. Я из небольшого города на севере России (в Хмао) и у нас супер чистый город, да, развлечений не много, но красивые места для прогулок есть, преступность низкая. Холодно конечно, но люблю свой город. Была во многих городах России, в разных регионах и везде было очень приятно, неопасно и чисто. With love from Russia ❤️

This debit card was delivered to his home in the morning and issued immediately. And he is a foreigner. Have you seen something like that anywhere else? No. Top service

The Russian women look just like American women... Except they are thin, tall, and beautiful.

If you are still in Russia, be sure to try going to a restaurant with Georgian food. This is great.

я из Мексики, но хочу поехать в Россию скоро, выглядит спокойно и хорошо моя русская подруга сказала мне она тоже не думала все было бы спокойной, потому что новости в Европе (она живёт в Грузии) и тд всегда рассказать ситуация очень плохая в России

the guy who slapped the door could not notice you. it is usually common to keep the door so the next person can go

The translation of the top comment: Foreigners are coming and coming. We have to hide bears from them, clear the snow all year round, and paint the leaves green. That's really annoying. And the bears get depressed.

Приезжай еще, мужик! У нас классно и мы всегда рады гостям )

Bro, the solyanka and pies are good, but at the Korchma, you should have ordered borscht with lard and onions, and for the main course, some kind of dumplings. The berry vodka you mentioned isn't actually vodka, but a regular liqueur, usually drunk as an aperitif before a meal. Just like in Italy, they might drink limoncello before having dessert. I wish you to get good emotions from your trip!

You have been in my country, Thailand🇹🇭 . If you think Thailand is safe place. Russia is much safer! I know what I am talking about. I have been living in Russia almost 15 years and will live here forever. I go to Thailand every few years for traveling. I love my country but choose to live in Russia🇷🇺

Записанный список блюд национальной кухни - это так мило)

Hello, Sly, thank you for video. I recommend you to ride on tram route 39. This route crossing throw beautiful and historical locations of Moscow. For example, Chistye Prudy (Чистые пруды). While you're ride on tram you can see the variety of city and architecture

that was such a nice video, it’s really interesting to look at the city i live in from a foreigner’s perspective. hope you enjoyed your trip!

I have moved to Moscow from San Diego 6 years ago. Never regretted it!

Moscow is the cleanest, greenest and safest metropolis in Europe and the Americas

Great views , hope you will enjoy your trip ! Got a bit nostalgic about this city )

Thank you for taking me back home, man. Miss it more than anything else.

Place looks incredible! No tents, junkies, graffiti. Shops are open not boarded up. No trash on the streets. Puts any major US city to shame. Certainly doesn’t tally up with the lies we are fed!

Congrats to you. Former cold war Marine here. Wanted to see what it was like with my own two eyes. What a pleasant surprise. I've been there 8 times since 2014. Mainly the far east. Beautiful place, but the winter is no joke. 😀 I don't speak Russian either. The girls are seemingly everywhere, and quite friendly. Great food, restaurants, malls and coffee shops. Like culture shock coming from the U.S. Clearly, no perfect place on this planet.. But, clearly the Russians are doing something right all right.

Wow, man, I have just watched your so many videos with travels, it is amazing

first of all thanks for the vidéo, haven't been in russia for the last 25 years !! many things changed. Also want to notice your high level of education, i respect that pretty much and it's nice to see that kind of staff. Hope you enjoyed your trip. thx again. cya

Так необычно каждый раз смотреть на реакцию иностранцев на то, что тебе, как русскому, кажется уже таким обычным и привычным. Прикольно)

Какой приятный и уважительный парень, плюс явно готовился к поездке, видно что прилично ориентируешься в реалиях. Респект тебе. И добро пожаловать в Россию

You are very experienced traveler! Even made list of local food. I wish i had such skills

Great video, man! Please, lets more!

Welcome to Russia, my friend!

Sly , I would like to invite you to an African place this weekend. There’d be lots of African students that study here in Moscow universities. You could film a different Moscow experience

That’s amazing and first experience for me as a local in Russia. Watching your video because I want to see my country with your eyes. And all your feelings and vibes about it’s totally beautiful. Really appreciate that you saw what we saw every day living here. Always welcome 🫶

That was a good ad of Taras Bulba ))) I want to go there again. Very nice restaurants. The staff even can do some performance with songs and little dances for birthdays. Sometimes they greet you with a shot of alcohol right at a doorstep )

Russia is one of the safest places, Moscow is super safe for women (I am a woman and lived there for 5 years), and would sometimes come home at 3,4 in the morning when I would go out. Never had any problems.

Love Russia, from Vietnam 🇷🇺❤🇻🇳

Broooo. Korchma is my favorite place. I'm glad you chose this restaurant!

6:58 another one for the road:D а всего день прошел, уже на дорожку пошла)

Это возмутительно! Он съел солянку без сметаны!

From Russian living in Canada, jealous of your trip. Have been in Moscow 25 years ago. Back then it was a dangerous place. Not anymore, thanks to someone who can’t be named. Enjoy your trip.

Right on brotha, great video. My wife is Russian. she's from St. Petersburg. She's going back in a few months to visit her folks. I had been hesitant to go because of everything going on, but doesn't seem bad as long as you don't do anything stupid.

Thanks. Beautiful city & country. You ARE fortunate!

Welcome to Russia, my friend. And remember, if you behaive with respect to other people and history, you definitely be treated with big respect and friendly

First of all fantastic videos. Moscow is absolutely stunning. Thank you. I am completely blown away. It’s unlike anything that I had pictures in my mind. Then the most insane part is I cannot believe the prices you are paying for everything. I live in Nairobi and the cost is 3 times at least for everything you need. The people are just fantastic and classy. I cannot wait to go to Russia. It has jumped to the top of my list. Cannot thank you enough.

Есть чем гордиться! Вырос, жил и буду жить в Крыму, никуда нахер не уеду! Тут весь кайф - природа, курорты, люди и достойная инфраструктура (с приходом россии), а хочется севера - поедем в москву, спб и другие крутые города / регионы России.

Thank you for a lovely video, haven’t been to the centre for ages❤

You're correct, Sly. Russia is not all white. It's a multinational state with over 190 ethnic groups. The majority are ethnic Russians, at around 80% of the population, who are considered white. However, there are many other significant minorities (Tatars, Ukrainians, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Armenians, Chechens). These groups come from various backgrounds and may not be classified as white. Russia spans a large part of northern Asia and Europe, so the ethnicities reflect that diversity. Ethnicity and physical appearance aren't always perfectly aligned, especially in a multinational country like Russia. Russia's long history has led to mixing between groups, so people may have features from multiple ethnicities.

In Russia you can film in any business open for public that means in any store/ Moreover it's against the law to prohibit filming

Cool Vibes Family you doing some Big Thanks Champ 🏆

This video exploded. Congrats Sly!

Russia is dangerously beautiful

Приятно что люди приезжают к нам в Россию. Не верте во всякую пропоганду. По возможности проверяйте сами.

I would be really happy to see you in Kazan! One of the cities in Russia. Thanks for your vlog. I was very happy to see something good on RU-vid :)

Thanks for visiting!

I like to see how people are surprised that Moscow is so “clean”. I thought this should be the case in all capitals, right?

You absolutely must add blini and borscht to your must try food list!

Great video, thanks!! It was interesting to see a foreigner's point of view of Moscow. Hope you liked every dish you had in those restaurants. How about St. Petersburg? Do you have plans visiting it? I think it is more beautiful and has it's own history.. And great places too. Also visiting smaller towns can help you to understand our identity. Hope you have fun here!😉

8:12 "I'm too loud." Omg, this is so wholesome. Thank You very much, sir, for being such a respectful bloke

You're not the only one who's been told that. In 2018, before the World Cup, the BBC did not hesitate to intimidate the audience with Russia, which left the national team with almost no fans

That tasty spread was pork back fat, mildly salted and minced with garlic.

Be sure to visit Сoffeemania (the best coffee in Europe) and the Gorynich restaurant (try the borscht)

The streets are very clean. I love clean streets. Привет from Italy.

Узнал от иностранного туриста, что мороженое в ГУМе стоит дешевле, чем в поездах РЖД 😮😅 Хорошего времяпровождения, брат ✊

Good job bro. Nice vlog. I'm from south part of Russia abd never was in Moscow, but this video is so smooth

good luck sir with your adventure!

Bro, i highly recommend you to put sour cream to any dish if it goes with it! Solyanka, borsch, pelmeny, vareniki, khinkali e.t.c. So a taste of the dish would be totaly complete and as it should be

C 'est une ville super clean , pas d'insécurité , et propre ! Ce n'est pas comme Paris ou Londres qui sont de véritables poubelles avec la misère et la violence de tous cotés! Merci pour la vidéo.

first sip of solyanka. then take a bite of black bread with soup. my man! ) btw you should mix sour cream with solyanka or other soups - it's the thing

3:17 I'm glad u liked Moscow streets vibe 😊

Извини за наших людей которые фоткаются рядом с тобой как будто ты не такой как все. Они не со зла, просто многие люди в кремль приезжают из других городов, и они никогда не видели темнокожих.) добро пожаловать в Россию бро!)

The thing about Russia is that in the media like movies they make the country look very drab and dark in color. When you go there it's very vibrant, It's like a veil of propaganda has been lifted. Many tourists sites lacked English when i last went there, I thought it was an oversight back then in 2018 but looking at what has happened the last 2 years i think it was intentional.

Thanks for visiting my hometown brudda ❤

I don't personally like solyanka, so I'd recommend to start with borsch. It's also quite specific but I've seen many foreign people who tried it and liked it. Also, there's kharcho, it's good but spicy. A pea soup is also tasty, it usually goes with smoked ribs and it's such a good mix I love it. And a summer soup, okroshka, try it with kvass. They'll literally pour the kvass into the soup, it might sound strange but just try it on a hot summer day and you'll fall in love 😊

Мы уважаем всех, кто уважает нашу культуру и закон💪
