Hi my dear friend K, sending all my prayers to you, your, Natasha, your precious children, lovely mom and all your loved ones 🙏 Many hugs and lots of happiness to you all, with kindness and respect, G ❤️
@TheRussianDude in his last video talks about an organization named: Freedom of Russia Legion. I would like you to talk about this kind of organizations. Also, the volume on your videos is very low compare to the rest. I have to constantly turn the volume up when I watch your videos and down when the commercials come or after I finished watching.
You would never guess there was a thing wrong based on other bloggers who like to show you how much food is in the supermarkets and how happy everyone is.
Those supermarket videos have always been the most moronic things on RU-vid. All they achieve is to betray the ignorance of the person who made the video. All sanctions imposed on Russia were specifically designed not to impact the lives of normal Russians any more than necessary. Medication and food are specifically excluded from sanctions. Sanctioning food would have been useless anyway, because in that area Russia is fully self sufficient. The Russians can't make semiconductors, but they have potatoes, wheat and cabbage out the wazoo. A Russian supermarket is literally the absolute worst place to whiteness the impact of international sanctions. A Lada production plant would be one place we'd easily see the effects (plants that have not shut down entirely are operating part time), which is probably why you can't see those on RU-vid.
@Bombay Beach: There IS food in Russian "supermarkets" (hypermarkets) -- which make American supermarkets look like neighborhood convenience stores. And LOTS of food! Smaller local stores as well have plenty of food. FACT. As for "everyone being happy" -- probably not...but they don't DARE to say so. -- BR
@@a5cent medication may have been excluded but it's still really hard to get. I believe that you should be able to find Konstantin's live stream on that one. Oh. Maybe it's harder to find because it's a live stream and not a video. Yeah that's a problem. But there's only so much time. This one would have been only slightly better if there had been graphic of where the attacks inside of Russia had been instead of just saying north south west southwest or wherever. I know I haven't been keeping track. I don't know how far in they have gotten. I'm not really clear whether that matters. I guess if you can get as far as Moscow that's probably good enough. And It occurs to me now that I have no idea where Stalingrad is or was when it was named that unless they're calling it that again. Don't ask me. I've never paid attention to a war before. I definitely know more about this one than any other one... That's sad. And then again, who wants to know about war? And then again, do most wars have three or four armies on one side on one country? That seems strange but then again I remember that we did have Hessians in the American revolution. But all I remember they did bad was get drunk on Christmas or something. No that makes no sense. They must have been on the side of the British. Otherwise we wouldn't have been so happy about it
@@pamelajaye I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I admit I simplified the medication issue a bit. Chemicals have a wide range of usages, so some are indeed sanctioned. If sanctioned chemicals were used to produce medications inside Russia, that could now be a problem. Russia could still import those medications, but I'm pretty sure that would cost them more. So yes, it can get complicated. After Russia "discovered" how evil Stalin was, they erased most of him from Society. That is why Stalingrad is now called Volgagrad (it sits on the river Volga). Stalinism is returning to Russia again though.
@@a5cent Sorry, you're a m0ron! Food and medication are well sanctioned, that's why we have no more McDonalds, Pepsi and Coca Cola, thanks God! Aswell there are missing many medications that Russians used to have, so don't talk BS like the west did design these sanctions specially the way the people wouldn't suffer, it's just not true! The goal was that the people will suffer and overthrow Putin, but the opposite is the case! The western economics do suffer even more, Putin is stronger then ever, and Russian economy will benefit out of the sanctions the most! We replace the western products with our own, so basically, the sanctions is a bless for Russia. Thanks God the western diplomats were so dumb to not to recognise that!
Shame really, I was set to visit a colleague in Moscow April '22. Now, he's alive but I have lost my interest in visiting Russia completely, and my friend is unemployed. Very sad that a pratt like Putin has managed to ruin so many livelihoods.
Maybe 1/2 K. regular lives, say 3/week and 1/2 shorter ones like this for updates say 3/week. I think Konstantin takes a day off but not sure - but if not, he should! Thanks for this, Konstantin, so interesting. Oh, sh*t, Cannibals?! (BTW I know your English is excellent - one word I heard though … “rhetoric” you could listen to the sound on speaking dictionary.) Love and prayers (for protection and blessings etc.) for you and the fam. ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Great video Konstantin. I come to your channel to see the face of Russia that can be, and will be. The strength and honesty of people like you will prevail. The night is darkest just before dawn.
I recommend learning about the Free Russia Legion. They are a faction of thousands of Russians who have chosen to fight alongside the Ukrainians. Many of them went over to Ukraine during the start of the invasion. They are angry, even furious at the Kremlin for what it has done to both Ukraine and Russia, and many have sworn that they will not stop fighting against the Kremlin even after Ukraine wins the war. They bear a white-blue-white flag. In my opinion, more people should learn about the Free Russia Legion.
RuAF actually did the 'winter offensive' (Bakhmut, Aveevka, Vuhledar and forests west of Kreminna). Though neither of the objectives, like destroying the Balhmut detachment, occupying at least Bakhmut and endangereng Siversk, isolating Avdeevka, breaking at Vuhledar, reaching at least Zarichne, were not archived despite large cost in manpower and equipment. So: yes - it is a 'counteroffensive', though I'd rather expect a few weeks of preparations more. I'm more concerned about the deportations. Russia had that lovely, well developed practice of 'extermination by deportation' well known by its all unfortunate neighbours or (willing or not) subjects.
How heartbreaking this must be for you to watch. At the same time, there's hope in knowing that only after what is corrupt collapses can a rebuilding begin. I'm praying for your country.
Konstantin, you're correct, and don't forget about the private army from GasPron. you have captured phone calls that speak to everything you've spoke of. plus a few other things i've heard and you can confirm it, some who'ved been mobilized aren't in arms factories to make equipment for the military. and the economic tsunami you've spoke of is coming with reports are that 73% of government cash reserves are gone, certain foods are becoming unavailible, gas prices are creeping up, and unrest is forming.
Special K You have gone to the next level. Delivery most excellent! Enjoyed the format fast hitting points. Very bold, very informative, and insightful. Thank you.
I believe that each and every Russian person is responsible for the horrific crimes being committed in Ukraine every single day. It’s my firm conviction that each Russian civilian has a moral responsibility to put a stop to what is happening in Ukraine. The simple fact is, if the women of Iran can protest, then so too can Russians. But the problem is, they have neither the desire nor the will to ease the Ukrainian’s suffering. They are far too selfish, and as long as things are okay in Moscow and St. Petersburg, it’s fine by them. I have watched literally thousands of interviews with these people and listened to hundreds of their private phone calls. I know these people well enough to know about their severe lack of empathy, and that the only thing they respect, is pain. At least 40% of Russia’s 140 million population is absolutely pro-war and pro-Putin. Only 30% are against it, with the other 30% somewhere in between. Russia’s attack on Ukraine is not only an attack on a sovereign state, it is an attack on every man, woman, and child throughout the entire world.
Most Russians have a spine of a fish stick, even at work they don't dare to criticize the boss. Remember the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu, so STAND UP and fight!!
Consider these additions to the already capable Ukranian Defence force... 250+ modern tanks plus1650 military armoured vehicles of all kinds... 120,000 fully trained by NATO and 60,000 receiving training right now with military pay of €3000 a month per person... 1200 self propelled & field guns, anti-aircraft systems & large calibre mortars... 10,000 drone operators trained and equipped with drones and bombs... Millions of rounds of ammunition, 100,000 artillery shells, 3000 gps accurate excalibur rounds... 500 x 1000 & 2000 lbs bombs with glide kits to enable cheap dumb bombs able to fly 30-60 km's from aircraft release with accuracy within metres... and a nice bright dry spell of weather to give all of the above the ability to charge, intercept and destroy anything in their way to reach the Sea of Asov and cut off Crimea from the land bridge! Slava Ukraine! Love from the UK.
You got that Info Out of a Fantasy book? Lol sorry i forgot must be from your highlyProfessional Secret Service. You Know Russia Runs Out of missiles etc.Double Lol😅by the Way Russia has around 3000 Tanks at least and many more Soldiers Not to speak of other Gear.
What a difficult position to be in. You don’t want your countrymen killed and yet you don’t want innocent Ukrainians killed. There are innocent people among the soldiers I’m sure.
What a great insight you give, first time I've seen you but after watching just one video from you I put you up the top with 3 or 4 other others. Please make more video.
So pretty much what we all thought would happen to Russia in the end! The US is not going to allow Putin to continue with his aggression…period, & that was the bottom line from day one! That’s all we need to understand! I am still holding to my prediction of late August/Sept major downfall inside Russia…leading to the new Russia! 18 months from Feb 24th!
I guess, no more reading between the lines is required, huh? I absolutely agree with all your thoughts about the whole situation, except perhaps for the (imminent) start of the counter-offensive (I think - and hope - they are taking all the time needed to do it right with the least amount of losses possible). That being said: you can be proud of yourself, Konstantin. My deepest respect. You are the sort of Russians I would love to welcome among us. Respectable (and respectful), kindhearted, intelligent and with the brain cells being all present and doing their job well, and willing to work hard, help, and speak out. In exchange, I would like to see Mr. P liberating us from his fandom (not limited to Russians) that is living among us and apparently trapped at home without the ability to leave for the holy land beyond the Iron Curtain Remastered. I hope you and your family are doing well. Always be careful and stay safe - and far away from certain places. All my best. As always. P.S. Just curious: have you thought about returning to the US, this time for staying?
For the law-abiding peaceful citizens of free countries Inside Russia presents an optimistic picture in this video, and persuasively. Thanks! It will be a pleasure to see oligarchs stripped of their ill-gotten benefits from supporting the despicable Putin. Unfortunately this video also describes a pitiable, potentially chaotic situation for the innocent, clearsighted Russians who have long understood what was being done to Ukraine, and indeed to Russia.
@insiderussia - Ukraine is at no point on offensive. Defensive Offensive maybe, but remember that Ukraine is not the aggressor and should not be described as such. 🇺🇦🐾💙🐱💙🐾🇺🇦
This must break your heart. You love your country yet Ukrainians are your friends and brothers. This whole war has been a disaster for so many. The Ukrainian offensive is already very successful. This will hopefully wake up the people in Russia
Hi Konstantin, it sounds like you are finally letting go old mate. Bloody good to see. Keep up the good work my friend, your family and your country are gonna need you now more then ever, not that I'd blame you if you never wanted to have anything to do with Russia and it's z-heads ever again. Good luck my man and "Hare Bol", if you know what I mean....
Thanks Constantin for such a clear, honest narrative. You are talking about your Motherland and that must hurt deep down but I hope most, outside of Russia, don’t blame ordinary people for what’s happening. If Putin’s insiders don’t put an end to this madness soon then it will take a revolution and that in turn will take bravery beyond anything the free world understands. God bless. ❤
Wow - coming from a person 15 months ago a loyal and successful Russian, this episode was a full condemnation of Putin's regime. Truly hope you are able to stand clear of the coming tsunami.
Sadly this is not funny at all. Regardless if Wagner, Russian Troops, Mobilized, or Chechnya Troops fight with each other. But do agree Chechnya most likely will turn on Putin or even Moscow, Russia not sure. This is terrible, war is never good for humanity, and that drone should never of worked over the Kremlin so it was Russia to me. Thanks Konstantin, your update is appreciated. Be well my friend.
Iron dome save my life for days .I personaly expirienced 2021 ,walking in park 40 km from Gaza start the syrens .Park had huge open area and threes at the side ,first bunker was distant 2 min runing uphill .After 20 seconds came rockets and I was face on the ground and just saw seven rockets distroyed over the park by Iron dome .
It’s so sad to hear this but Russians unfortunately have lived through times like these before. I’m afraid it’s going to have to get a lot worse before any real change will come.
Watching this after Wagner group has been reported to turn towards Russia. Interesting that you called this. Been watching for a while. But stopped recently. Need to go back and watch what I've missed.
I really hope that Counteroffensive will wait untill they give peace a chance. Tens of thousands people will die for a few kilometers of waste land. People get real, this war is going nowhere. Only towards death and destruction.
I wouldn't expect the Ukrainian ground offensive to start for some time yet. The Ukrainian army has been getting training over the past year from NATO and the US to fight in the western style. If you recall when the Us and the western allies invaded Iraq they spent over 6 weeks prior to that in bombing them constantly from the air. Only then did the ground forces go in. By the time they did, the Iraqi army was begging to surrender. I'm not saying the Ukrainians can bring that kind if force to bear. But I would expect at least 6 weeks, probably longer, of drone attacks against oil depots and other logistical hubs before any major ground movement happens.
6 hours, uh, we're 2 weeks later. I, for one hope that Ukraine will be able to retake at least as much as the eastern parts they got stolen as possible, but don't really think they can retake it all, not Crimea, and to the eyes of the countries helping, they won't say it, but they already consider Crimea is now part of Russia (which will have so many other problems, so, it's probably just temporary before Rusha, maybe explodes in what was regions before Rusha took it all...). And someone that explained things with maps and some things that did happen during history, showed that the new frontiers will be decided by the front line and may move less and less.
Konstantin, you never mention the Ukrainians that Ruzzia has increasingly begun to draft as cannon fodder in temporarily occupied areas such as Crimea most recently. Which is horrific, but makes the situation for the Russian army even more complex and risky.
Ahoj Konstantin.Can you little bit explain if was legal that Jelcin gave his mandat from people to Putin? Second question is ,has Russia constitutional court?And who elected prosecutors and police chef?Does the president or the parliament approve the laws?Thank you for answer.
You should do more of these. Americans love Gangster shows whether its the Old West, the Mafia, Fuedal Japan or Russian Leadership. Also, we have a hard time understanding the corruption and how that is possible. Especially when it come to equiping the Army or security in general. Corruption stories where truth is crazier then fiction is a big seller. Love the Content. Stay with it.
I like this swift news like formula. Like all other stuff U make Konstantine👏 All the best from Poland to very rare Russian I trully respect. Hope, Russia will come back to normal one day…
I'm glad to see you're still doing well Konstantin, I'm also very glad you got your family and yourself out. Your content does show that there are some intelligent and human Russians out there. I'm sorry a madman has tarnished your heritage. Hopefully that can and will change soon.
The Washington Post says Prigoshin has been meeting with Ukrainian Intelligence telling them if he will withdraw from Bakhmut, he will give them all the Russian Army positions. Unfortunately, since the news made this public this will not be able to be done. I hope Ukraine captures Prigoshin. He will turn on a dime; just give him cash. Repulsive as the thought of this is, information from him could be very highly valued.
