I did not believe western media before I went to Russia the first time. I went with an open mind and was still pleasantly surprised at just how friendly and helpful the Russian people were and how beautiful the country was.
There are a ton of stereotypes about Russia. The one I encountered the most was the Russian Mafia. I really thought Moscow would be like any other large metropolitan city. I was amazed how much safer it was.
You guys have been great in teaching us about the real Russia. No country is without its challenges, but strong values and a good sense of community are important in surviving what we’re seeing deteriorate us here in the states. I now understand the sacrifices needed to preserve those. Hope to visit and look you up one day, Eddie. Love the vids and keep em’ coming!
Greetings from a Russian! Subscribed to both of you! You are the voice of reason and common sense, your opinion is always interesting as a link between two different civilizations! Good luck to your channels and to you personally!
Ukrainian situation will escalate into WWIII of both sides using nuclear missiles to fulfill Nikita Khruschev's shoe banging speech of "We will Bury you" so Russian M-80 H bombs loaded on to hypersonic missiles able to evade defenses and Americans too pampered in cocoons of sensitive consumerist entitlements what chance does the United States have? Please abolish NATO and cede Europe east of a Paris Norway line to Hungary and Russia in exchange for Russia ceding an area between Amur and Tumen Rivers to the United States? Ironically Russians & Americans are mirror images of how in of Americas as far west as New Zealand Europeans or Whites took wives and land from Asiatic Mongols while Eastern Europe as far west as Italy Asiatic Mongols took wives and lad from Europeans or Whites since "Scientific American" November 1991 had a genetic chart to prove how Koreans or Arirang Hankuk and Manchurians or Manchu Tungus are genetically closer to Europeans than are Semites or Middle Easterners. it is a Bradbury police military news entertainment complex of newscasters who are sportscasters to give blow by blow coverage of battles as de facto gladiator games to provide bread & circuses to a welfare state's roar of a crowd just like blood sport of how ancient Rome was an elected democracy pf partisan political parties and bureaucrats who cowardly hid behind others sent to battle. NATO is using Ukraine for Atwoodian invitro fertilization surrogate pregnancies to breed reverse eugenic golems of cannon fodder.
Russians are taught Americans are ":Meshenkin's Concert"(1949) about a girl who purchases an African Pygmy "Tom" for a baby doll while Americans are taught Russians are "Natasha & Boris" having a agricultural rail transit fetish and a "Taxi" episode where Andy Kaufman portrayed an auto mechanic Serbian immigrant Laikta whose mother says "Skinny American woman since you need large communist woman who can chop wood" of a "Cold War" argument of monuments versus consumer goods. Did you see "Silk Stockings"(1957) where Mexican actress Cyd Charisse portrays KGB agent Ninotchka who has to retrieve a defector portrayed by Peter Lorrie so she says "Silk is for parachutes to recover missiles or "Iron Petticoat" with Catherine Hepburn?
