Hey, you hypocrits! You should better look at your hypocritical society. You initiated this war in ukraina, you supply weapons to Zionist regime of zelinsky, which kills people of Russia and ukraina. I hope everyone of those who support zelinsky and his Zionists will take a Retribution.

American has had its soldiers at war for the better half of this century. We don’t see this type of reporting from the BBC about that. Subtle propaganda; he managed to find only people who opposed the war… In every country there are people who are pro and anti war….

Totally true

Indeed my friend, western media at it's finest😅... nothing more than propaganda and misinformation. It's truly sad to see so many people fooled by these "news" outlets.

I'm sure most westerns would say the same thing about their politicians as well

What is your hopes? - I do not have anything to say. - Oh, yea you do not have hopes.. understand. Facepalm.

Many old Russian people don't have hopes or don't think about future. The reason is not only in present country situation, it's part of mentality. Parents of these generation lived in Stalin's period: they didn't know - they will die or not tomorrow, they just lived in present day, they didn't have hopes and dreams (we have many aphorisms against hopes, opinions and dreams). This worldview was passed on to children.

@@241kyle Then maybe we should actually do something about it instead of following their games.

I asked the same question! Also Russians hate the British and Americans... It's weird 🤔

It’s been 33 years since Soviet Union sir. You are talking about the bare minimum change for this long

Actually, under Gorbachev and Yeltsin and even the first 10 years of Putin's rule, Russia was quite free and democratic, but in the last 10 years, Putin's Russia has become more and more repressive, and maybe in the next 10 years it will be like the Soviet Union.

​@@tatichib3031great change has taken place in the Russian Federation lose the hate-filled propaganda. the western elites (especially. USA) want you to keep your hatred. it interferes with making more change possible.

Wait for a couple of years to see how it changes back. Not sure you have noticed, bit the have intriduced a conservative pro-government censorship, banned Instagram and are about to ban RU-vid with more to come

Everything as usual. They surveyed 100 people and only showed the answers of those whose answers the BBC liked. The BBC has long since sunk to the level of the German Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter. Worthy students of Joseph Goebbels. You won't find a single interview that was broadcast live on the BBC. They always cut out words that they might like.

Haven't you heard of RU-vid?

Well said, often the people are forgotten on the field of political discourse and just a tool to fuel that is abused.

Can confirm as a Russian student - haven't had any problems like this in the last two years - and I live far away from the capital. No drastic increase in prices either - would definetely feel it, having not that much money to spend

He was talking about prices going up but that carton of eggs is $2.30 in my currency, id have to pay $10 for them here

Britain and USA dont! They make propaganda everywhere and begin wars

Steve Rosenberg has spent half his life living in Russia, I expect he knows rather more than you. The full report is much longer than this clip.

​@@1maico1coolstory

No, a handful of people can't represent an entire country but when is the last time that you saw a news report that included interviews with 5,000 people carefully selected to get a balanced view of a situation? No matter what the news story there are always only a handful of people interviewed because logistically a reporter can't include interviews with hundreds or thousands of people in a news story. And obviously foreign reporters are very constrained doing news stories in Russia now. It's a very dangerous activity to be involved in.

Grimsby and Peterborough.. 🤣 I think you’ll find some upbeat champions there. British resolve is first class.

True, true

Who are these 'us'? ...Anti-Russian propagandists who expect the world to believe in the western media b.s.? Did USA drop nuclear bombs on innocent people in Japan for the sake of humanity? Did USA drop chemical weapons on innocent people in Vietnam for the sake of humanity? Did the USA liberate Kuwait for the sake of humanity or oil? Did the USA invade Iraq in 2003 for the sake of humanity? (where the fuck is freedom and democracy in Iraq?)....Piss off @Vport

Are you sure she is not a spokesman for the Kremlin? They use little old ladies. In the late 1970's I was in the large Gorky Park in Moscow The only person there was a little old lady sitting on a bench, a Russian Soldier came by and I handed him some paperwork, the minute I handed him this, this old lady pointed at me and him and the Police turned up from no-where and surrounded him, the old lady was a spy for the Kremlin.

I tried to reply to your email but doing so now. I have a lot of Christian friends in Russia but the ordinary people are being deceived by Putin and his government, Russia invaded Ukraine and has mass murdered men, women and children, it has been genocide, that is why the West is opposed to what he has been doing. Nothing can justify their war crimes.

I surprised they found anyone at all to comment, the people are to afraid to speak their mind..... couldn't use the word war without fear of arrest

@@ukchatman4920 well, this is not war if you look at the economic perspective. Ukraine, neither Russia, cut off trade. In the moment of war, countries stop to trade. Ukraine keeps pumping Russian gas to Europe lol

@Readthis880 а кто по вашему честен?

@@user-fe4zf5hz6yNobody in the major journalism is 'honest', every outlet has their agenda (obviously)

The food inflation rate is currently 2.9% in the US and 7.21% in Russia (source Trading Economics database)

Does turkey become more expensive in America before Thanksgiving? The reporter chose an "amazing" time to estimate inflation in Rossia: before the New Year, when we buy products before the long New Year holidays. It is customary for us to gather for the New Year with the whole family and friends, this is especially true for the older generation. That’s why all products always become more expensive in december.

we have very beautiful cities in Russia, look at what Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Sochi, Kazan and dozens more look like

Remember that West is supplying money and weapons while Ukraine is providing manpower. Its a stalemate for a reason. close to a million soldiers dead( combined) and still no resolution in sight. Every war ends behind the negotiation table and this one will too.

Не забывайте что РОССИЯ может Европу стереть за пару часов потому что нам она не нужна , а территория Украины это исконно Российская земля и мы её бережно будем освобождать от хохлонацистов !

Russia has no intention to goto war with Europe/NATO because that would be a nuclear war - not conventional. If it was a conventional war, Russia would still win at an alarming cost to millions.

@@Den9ait is pretty good to loose 500000 troops and not call it a war

*People are very much the same across the world. Living in peace with good neighbours, raising a family, creative opportunities surrounded by love*. Majority of russians are not the same as people across the world. Far from it. Never have been and never will be. They are ignorant, xenophobic, monolingual, uneducated. At the same time they are always ready to lie, bluff, occupie, destroy, torture, loot, kill, make war on their neighbours to enslave those nations. How else they've become so big.

Yeah almost like Russia is better able to produce food within it's borders than an island

Western sh it is still selling in ruzzia.western clowns

@@onusbaum Prices in Russia have increased by 20-25% in two years, and not 2 times. This is less than in other Eastern European countries. In the UK, consumer prices have risen by around 15-20% in two years. And qualified specialists do not run away, but, on the contrary, return; you have old data.

The sanctions have not reduced Russia's ability to sell oil and gas. The oil is now being bought by India and China, demonstrating what these countries think of the need to sanction Russia as a response to an illegal invasion. If it is not possible to blockade the export of oil and gas from Russia, then sanctions with the intention of depriving Russia of revenue to finance the war are pointless. The sanctions have, on the other hand, caused serious problems to western economies. We are evidently governed by fools.

@@onusbaum I confirm the words above.

Бедных людей найти можно везде, но если сравнивать голые факты, например ввп на душу населения: рф - 12к долларов, Англия - 50к долларов, Америка - 70к долларов.

Мы отстаем от сша и других развитых стран, по меньшей мере, на 40-60 лет.

I'm glad you brought that up. How absurd.

@@rodneyagesa1851 When it comes to the truth, the Russians are suddenly like shy deer. Then you notice the fear of the government. Therefore, you shouldn't ask too much at once.

russian mentality.

Why should the British know about this? The English shouldn't think about it. They should think about holy Ukraine and give Ukraine billions of dollars.

You can grow lots of your own food. But it's true, don't vote for bad people that will not represent your interests over the very rich.

Where does the money go? To the war machine? But all over the world is steep inflation, even in countries not at war?

@@Maratreason "They should think about holy Ukraine and give Ukraine billions of dollars." - agreed. if we Brit's put a selfish view on it then it is better to send money (pounds or dollars) to Ukraine than our people/troops. :)

@@Maratreason When you're walking down the street and you see an adult beating a weaker individual, do you just ignore it or do you step in to help? While intervening may result in minor injuries and make you late for a meeting, it could also potentially save someone's life - that’s literally what the civilized world is doing right now - trying to save the life of the weaker one which was attacked with no reasons whatsoever. And yes, it’s more important than the consumer prices for people with high morale, empathy and principles

Aren't you overreacting a bit? No need for tears running down. I can tell it's hell for them to live right now, at least not a comfortable time. The same I can say in Ukraine but that's not what the vid is about. I once was in moscow and now it seems the life of the city is far gone, which mirrors the feeling of the people. We Ukrainians don't want war but ig some people forget not all russians are with the kremlin's decisions...

​@@user-lt7er2xk1tпосле Белгорода Украину трясет вторые сутки - можешь снова плакать от радости.

It's massively cherry picked with only negatives stated explicitly and the rest of normality just mentioned broadly. Few specific people interviewed, happy people are ignored, unhappy and worried are prioritized, old women who don't look well off, a guy who's fishing in winter. The guy happily running is barely seen for a second in the background, a guy who looks sad on ice is focused on. Ads for military service are focused on, but not in proportion to how prominent they actually are. No broad coverage of social groups and opinions. Out of the ordinary price increases on eggs and tomatoes are stated, but the averages for the rest of food aren't. The actual effects on GDP PPP per capita aren't mentioned. With tragic music to complete the same negative narrative. To put it simply, this is an example of propaganda. And the fact that it's delivered by a soft spoken man who looks caring and trustworthy is just another part of making it convincing

There are no Nazis in Ukraine. Your government is lying to you, using your patriotism and WW2 glory to bolster your support for an unjust war. The real reason your country is invading Ukraine is because Putin does not want to lose Ukraine as a puppet state.

Yeah, but your government isn't too keen on going forward with the war.. right? And what about the 'new territories'? I don't see much going on around for two years lol!

@@williet.3058 Neither the people nor the government are interested in war. It would be better if there was no war. Unfortunately, during eight years of civil war in Ukraine, no one listened to Russia. I'm talking about the agreements signed in Minsk. According to intelligence data, Ukraine was preparing a major offensive against Lugansk, Donetsk and Crimea. Russia launched a preemptive strike by launching Operation Z. The goals of Operation Z were to minimize casualties of personnel and civilians, demilitarize and rid Ukraine of Nazism. Haste in war leads to unjustified losses. The first months of the war showed this.

Unfortunately most of the Russians are brainwashed by state media to believe in their propaganda. Only absolute catastrophe will bring some sense to average Russians.

That`s not twisted.

Russians do not want this war, I'm sure about that. Of 140 million people maybe a couple of thousand idiots want this madness. The guy who said that is risking his life, pitty you do not understand.

your alternative truth aka Kremlin propaganda has nothing to do with the facts.

I believe he meant the government started it, not regular people

Add the rest of the food, and the rent. And here's your 150 pounds of pension to pay for it all...

@@fjslfhalfhkdjfh buying enough eggs to have two a day for breakfast costs only 2.93% of that pension a month. Meaning total cost of food is around 10-15% of the allotted 150 pounds. Average Russian rent (at the low end) is 5,000 rubbles (£43.12). Therefore, 150 pounds a month in Russia is enough to live off of. Remember, pension by itself is not supposed to make you rich. An inability to save before retirement may tighten your budget, however - 150 pounds a month in Russia is more than enough to survive

*For 10, not for dozen.

Compare the prices to the wages and then it can easily be seen if the price is a tragedy or not.

She said her pension was 150 dollars a month that's peasants living standard so she can't buy eggs now ,old age pension in Greece is definitely morev

eggs in Russia have risen in price not from inflation, but from seasonal shortages, bird food has risen in price by winter and eggs have become more expensive. Soon the price will fall again when there will be a harvest, if not to the level that was, then 30-40 cents for sure

@nash_stile that's funny ,the harvest only ended a few months ago and their out of bird food already ? Next Harvest is july/Aug

@@John316OBrian-cm4fj the feed has not run out, but such is the reality that our agricultural goods always become more expensive by winter. and they get cheaper by spring. Grains, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

We are in a war. And the reason is the strangle-hold which Putin wants to put on our Gas supplies, plus all the other issues stemming from Russia.

A year ago he came to my town. After investigating I found that the interviews were pre-arranged with anti Russian critics. So while it may appear to be innocent accidental interactions, I can assure you that it’s not.
