When I arrived in a Russian village in the Arkhangelsk region, I realized that if there was an apocalypse in big cities from the disconnection of electricity, then these guys (residents) would always survive! They have their own cattle, their own poultry, eggs, milk, potatoes, and so on!
Interestingly enough, that exact thought came across my mind when I was visiting this village where Lars lives. It certainly lacks city comforts and it’s very unlikely I would want to move to the countryside anytime soon, but their survival skills are something else
Russia is big enough and widespread in so many ways that it can be treated as an independent country. It can be expected to make its own alliances. Doing that by force however, is not an option while it is so close to the European Union.
You looked so rugged.. But still the ninjas and your beautiful wife got a bit more exposure.. We always love to see them now and then.. You are a great inspiration to me, at 70 I view the world as going to hell in a hand basket.. But you show me that there are still men and women all over this world that can still do what is right and be decent hard working folk survive and smile.. thanks brother..
Смотря подобные репортажи я чувствую неописуемую гордость и воодушевление. Не смотря на все трудности и тяготы, люди живущие в самой прекрасной стране всегда найдут выход.
I swear the environment reminds me of West Virginia or Kentucky or maybe Oklahoma 🤔 very beautiful crazy how similar Russia and America can be. The people as well just ordinary country people loving the country life. Shout out to all you Country boys out there no matter what country ☺️ much love from Florida lol
Totally agree! Strangely enough, the two countries are much alike. And yet we’ve come to this. Sad P.S. Love Florida! Spent a summer in Panama City beach back in 2008, had a lot of fun
@@RealReporter Florida is nice but I do miss the 4 seasons up north especially during autumn season and Christmas season. Pumpkin spice weather some say. Something about it just feels at home sort of speak. And then Snow and eggnog lol
The blood is the same color in our veins brother. We just got to stop hating and start knowing each other. You'll be amazed how much you have in common with the plain Muslim, a communists, and others.
If this was America people would be rioting…whinging and whining…and some weirdo probably even justify doing another school mass shooting…we do it even if gasoline prices go up 10cents a gallon…or our cell phone service goes out for a couple of hours…gotta hand it to the Russian people…they just smile and adapt and get on with it…God Bless
I'd add to that, most people in Russia are like people in the rest of the world, not only the outskirts xD We have our geniouses and businessmen, and we got our fools and crying babies.
very beautiful area and people, reminds me of rural Kentucky near where i live now. Be interested to see another video if possible for middle of a large city
Will do! Thanks for the feedback In fact, I’m working on the second video from the same village that I shot six months later. Stay tuned for this one 👍
What's interesting to me is that rural people from Russia feel very similar to rural people in the US. I think we have much more in common with them than we do with people in our cities. Really impressed with their spirit of self reliance. Most governments tend to have crappy leadership, but it's not always a true reflection of its people. Wishing for peace in Russia/Ukraine.
OK, I'm just a girl living in this village. Today we were told about this video in class. It's just great! I am very grateful to you! 11:06 it's so unusual to see a native it's so unusual to see a native Магнит in a RU-vid video... 12:09 many of my relatives and the parents of my friends have worked here before. I remember what wonderful buns with cheese and garlic were here....😥I'm in a lot of pain. 13:24 typical grandmothers. how unflappable are the people around, I would be surprised. 16:14 relatives панельки Watching this without subtitles, I can improve my English :) P.S. I use a translator👋
Hey there! I’m glad you liked the video. I really enjoyed my time in your village, people there were very nice and hospitable. Your English is very good, keep up the good work! Молодец 👏
I am a nurse man living in Girona, in Spain. I love Russia because my grandfather told me how russian soldiers helped in the spain war against fascism. and I hope the best for Russia and I wish Europe realized we are brothers
First time viewer of this channel and life of ordinary people on the other side. I can't say it's truly objective, how can it be? I can say it's thought provoking, reflective and eye opening for me. Thanks for sharing and god bless
@@billiosi7448 You've in a closed system since 1917, not I. You needed to go to Moscow to get a permit to travel abroad, not I. You're the one with only access to government propaganda broadcast, not I. Yet, you have the audacity to say I live in a totalitarian regime!?
This is exactly the sort of report I've been hoping for. My neighbors are foresters and small farmers, backyard mechanics, jack-of-all-trades. Money is always tight but their "make do" attitude usually carries the day. Our weather isn't as brutal but I see so many similarities. It would be great if you could do more reports like this, in even more depth. I get the impression that newcomers aren't that welcome -- around here, people tend to be a bit reserved but friendly to strangers. Then again, NW Washington has that reputation. Great job!
I am thinking the same thing about rural Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont -- there are a lot of similarities. Obviously, one huge difference is the opportunity to openly protest the war or complain about the lack of opportunity or things like decent health care. Makes me wonder what would have happened if the powers-that-be in Russia actually built a democracy in the 90's instead of looting the the carcass of the state and letting the Putin mafia take over. Would it be like a western European democracy, or would the rural poor feel isolated and marginalized, leaving them vulnerable to a Putin-type leader, anyway, the way we in the US have failed our own rural and working class people to the point where they can be convinced that Trump is their savior?
@@johnnyrock70 Good points. Listening to the guy making hardware, and the brother farmers, I thought exactly the same thing! If they were here in rural PA, they'd likely be Trump voters, even if it didn't serve their interests. I hate Trump, but I get WHY he appealed to people who really have been left behind. Most of the family farms are owned by some corporation now.
@@ambercrombie789 I was not going to bother replying to your question, as all too often this ends up as nothing more than endless, circular arguments: true MAGA believers are immune to evidence and reason, and life is too short to bother with such obduracy. However, since you asked in a non-confrontational way, I will respect the effort and try to limit this to less than essay length. Trump is a liar beyond even the routine definitions applied to pathology. It does not matter even when he is confronted with multiple sources documenting his lies, he will respond with MORE lies. Multiple fact-checking sources documented more than 30,000 lies over four years. The "what-about-ism" response is usually something like "all politicians lie": true enough, but his lack of shame reveals a profound lack of respect for "HIS" people, in addition to his disregard of law. Trump is disloyal, to "friends" (rather what he momentarily calls people who parrot whatever toxic nonsense he wants to amplify), family (he squandered millions in inheritance, and stole money from family: see Mary Trump.), and most important-to the nation he took an oath to serve and protect. Trump is profoundly inept: as impresario of a gambling casino, where customers freely give money with NO expectation of return, HE LOST MONEY. Trump's knowledge of history, economics, foreign affairs, military affairs, so woefully deficient and defiant of correction, reveals he either has a life-long learning disability, or is simply too stupid to care. He should never have been allowed to run for any office, and we can blame his enablers and that insane cadre of voters for sustaining this toxic liar and thief. I'm done.
Украина 8 лет бомбила своих же людей на востоке своей же страны. Мерзавцы которые стояли у власти в Украине любили рассказывать что это делала Россия. Когда Россия пришла на самом деле, те же мерзавцы стали вопить что на них напали. Получили что хотели.
Actually, the village where they live is in on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and it's a very good location for a village. It's just about 150 km from my village in Kotelnich district, where I bought a house in August) In my village I saw boar and moose footprints all the time on every street! And yes, it's a ve-ery forested land with lots of berries and mushrooms. People are self-sufficient there. Anyways, thanks for a good video)
Thank you very much for this insight in a rural Russian community. The feedback to the sanctions did not surprise me. Rural regions do not profite that much from economic booms but on the other hand do not suffer that much from setbacks either. Thats because they are much more self sustaining as your report pointed out quite nicely.
How sad, then, that these people who do not ask to be so beholden to the outside world, will be asked to now send their sons to a faraway war that they have no interest in participating in.
@@HughCorbyCruick Faraway war? It's being waged next door, in Ukraine. The West started the war with a 2014 coup organized by the US State Department/George Soros, then installed their puppet. The West wants to steal Ukrainian oil & gas, force regime change in Russia, then steal Russia's oil and gas.
@@HughCorbyCruick Are trying to say that rich people have interest in sending their sons to wars? Either that, or you just have a flawed logic or little understanding of how life works, or both.

I loved this! I live on four acres in Michigan, collect mushrooms, heat with maple wood and wear mud boots most of the year. Inflation hits us, too! But, you have to laugh and carry on. I never did round bales for the horses due to moisture, but the Russian farms there are beautiful -- looked like Holstein cows -- good milkers! Tell Lars he is blessed! I'll check out Survival Russia -- I could use some tips!
This reminds me of Wolverine MI so much lol. Even the parts store and gas stations so much alike . Why have these sanctions made eggs in the US 3 dollars a doz .... GREEED
Well Russia is doing pretty fine although USA sanctioned them. It was a wrong call to sanction Russia first. They should have opened and continued with talks. Rather than just shut Russia like that cuz Russia can survive anytime in fact their economy is strong.
@Lars Hildebrandt well we shall see how Russia can survive. Because many Asian countries already buying huge volumes of oil from Russia including India, china, Iran.. and now so many of Indian goods are also going into Russia bcuz I also do business as well and too many goods going into Russia now so this is opportunity for countries in Asia and like India to go in and boom the market. So I seriously believe Russian can do well and come out stronger than you think and even USA already feeling the inflation right now.
As a Dane myself, it was so fun to see Lars on this channel! the way he looks and talks, remind me so much of other guys of his age. even his Poster reminded me of some of my fathers friends! combine it with the Russian backdrop is just somthing i couldn't imagine:D
As Russian, I am shocked by the quality of the roads in this area and generally all over the country. Really, it was absolutely unimaginable before holy sanctions time.
Interesting video. It seems a lot like living in a small low income town here in the US. Even the last part where Lars says "the government might be shit but it's ours". That sounded exactly like something I would hear around town if we were in their situation. People are people and the similarities show it.
Yeah I see that, but the big difference is that here in Australia if our government decides to wage war as an associate or on their own we the citizens can object and protest without being jailed or killed. And if that doesn't work we can vote them out of office.
@@mirriulahwaterdog Australia is not a factor to compare with Russia, USA is, lets compare their wars ( 10 times as many wars , many more people killed ( mostly civilians including carpet bombing, napalm, drone bombing civilian weddings, torturing raping POW, lets not forget NUKES on civlian cities after ww2 was already over,al international laws broken...) ...You can protest as much as you like, both parties do same ...Just pretending you have a choice
@@Pr0jectIGI I am more than aware of the injustices of the world mate... But today I am aware of an unjust war by Putin's Russia on Ukrainian civilians causing death and destruction on a massive scale. Stay safe, strong and FREE Ukraine.
@@Pr0jectIGI We can argue the necessity of using atom bombs in Japan, BUT WWII was not over, and do we hear about all the places that Russia is in atm? the places where they send their Nazi millitary aka Wagner and so on? ooooh thats right, Pooptin say he dont know who Wagner is, even though their leader is one of hes close friends, and their benefactor is a oligark that putin probably gets sucked of by on a regular basis, but he probably never heard of him before either. atleast America tell the soldiers mothers that their sons have been killed, atleast America pay the soldiers their salery, atleast Americans isnt raping and executing civilians as a thing to pass time, atleast the Americans dosnt steal kithen appliances and send home, atleast the Americans isnt brest fed with propaganda, and atleast Americans are allowed to think for themself, Atleast Americans can vote their government out. I could go on forever.. but to what use?
Not taking a handout is not pride. It is self-respect, and respect for you, as not to take advantage. It is however called dignity. Very big difference from pride.
Italian products e.g. olive oil, were always expensive. Even in my country(Serbia), which is relatively closer to Italy, than it's to Russia( in geographical terms), is expensive(~16$). They price their crap like it's solid gold, but complain when someone else do the same...
Here in the Netherlands a 1L bottle of Italian olive oil is €5, €10 if it's a advertising brand, like Bertolli. It used to be €3 and €6..... before the war. So it has gone up, but it's still affordable if you buy the house brand
This is legit reporting. Thank you! I've always thought the Russian people were and are wonderful. Federal governments- not so much-- from any country including ours in the U.S. Thank you for this update on the ground.
is it federal government are killing kids in Ukraine or wonderful russian's people? now I am calling russia's people - orks and russia - mordor and this "reporter" did not ask wonderful people about american's people and you missed a lot of "cool" information about yourself
@@victorgasil494 Apparently, the decrepitude of the mind of your American president turned out to be pandemic and infected many. Living overseas, neither you nor most Americans have any idea what fascism is from which the USSR saved the whole world by paying twenty-six million lives of its citizens. Now America has staged a coup in Ukraine, overthrew the elected government and planted the seeds of fascism-Nazism in Ukraine. We Russians don't need it, so we will destroy fascism whenever and wherever it raises its head. You, like well-fed parrots in a cage, repeat only those words that the owner of your cage tells you. But bird flu has infected his brain and you are infected too.
How can you say russian people are wonderful, they have a history of being barbarians, under Lenin, under stalin. Or maybe you didn't read your history when under stalin, they murdered through starvation, several million Ukrainians in 1931-33. So you say they are wonderful, in destroying a country and its people, in case you haven't watched the news, that Ukraine I am referring to! As I recall, it is russia and russians that invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. They are destroying cities, villages, schools, churches, homes, hospitals, power sources. raping women, children, even men, torturing civilians, stealing anything they can, and you manage to find them "wonderful" .I didn't know that "wonderful people act that way?? Suggest you google the term wonderful , for you next article.
People will always find ways to survive .... basic needs will always be met, especially in a country like Russia with a lot of energy reserves and natural resources. The sanctions will lower overall quality of living compared to unsanctioned countries but it wont prevent living. They will effect the rich and modern cultural centers more than rural russia which was already poor to begin with. Good video
@@Mighty_Samurai yea we will see how it works out. Certainly the poor rural areas will be the ones who absorb the real cost of this war .... death and injury. Will they just accept it?? Take one for the motherland while Putin and the rich keep eating caviar?
I found it to be similar in Donegal (Ireland), people with large gardens and multiple jobs for income, cutting peat for fuel and making their own drink (poitin).
Hey, guys! Hope you liked the video. I had a great time shooting it together with Lars. He’s awesome! Sorry, about the sound. It’s was already too late when I noticed this
I enjoyed your video, it just anger's me how the hell the west has a cheek to put sanctions on Russia, have they forgotten about the illegal war they've been involved in, you know so called weapons of mass destruction, bull shit wars in Afghanistan, Syria, ect you could go on. I'm from England but I don't buy into the propaganda, for me it's a war by design to increase the cost of living to pay for money lost during there ridiculous lock downs. I'm glad to here that most Russians won't turn on there own government don't sing to the tune of western politicians. They try and brainwash us to hate each other, turn everyday people into enemies and I for one will not be fooled, I have know problem with Russian people only greedy government's who in this day and age still want to rule the world, the western politicians are know different than Russian politicians, all out to line there own pockets. Us ordinary people are stronger if we stick together rather than be tricked into hating each other.

Thank you for a very interesting and educational video. Even though news sources here in the United States are many and varied, they naturally carry a bias toward our view of things in the Ukraine and Russia. Your showing us real people and their everyday lives is an important window to the effects of the war (excuse me "special operation"). The Russian people are not the cause of the problems, yet it is they who are hurt by it. Best wishes for your continued success. A final thought: One of the early clips in your video shows a woman shopkeeper adding up a customer's purchase using an abacus. When I was a kid 70 years ago, they taught us how to use one in grammar school! There were no calculators back then. An adding machine was big, clunky and expensive. At least the abacus will still work if the power goes out!!!
But aren't the soldiers, carrying out the orders of their madman and psycho, putty russians? They come from the homes and families that you watched in russia. They have a choice, and hopefully they will pay for the choice they make by fertilizing the fields in Ukraine with their remains!
It took about a decade when Reaganomics took effect and things really fell apart in Russia during the Cold War. It's anyone's guess what's gonna happen this time. Even if Russians pull out of Ukraine I doubt the sanctions will be lifted.

The only way the conflict will end is if the Russian People rise up, like they did in 1917 and 1991, and demand Change. If the Russian People don't care about their own soldiers invading their brother-country and committing war crimes like the Nazis, then WE will MAKE them care about it, and completely collapse their Economy . Sanctions are just the beginning. Конфликт закончится только в том случае, если русский народ поднимется, как это было в 1917 и 1991 годах, и потребует Перемен. Если русский народ не заботится о том, что его собственные солдаты вторгаются в его братскую страну и совершают военные преступления, как нацисты, то МЫ ЗАСТАВИМ им заботиться об этом и полностью разрушим их экономику. Санкции - это только начало.
I visited the old USSR in 1988. Besides spending time in Moscow and Leningrad, I took the Trans-Siberian Railroad all the way to Irkutsk, so undoubtedly passed the station the author here left the train at. Back then, there were no supermarkets. In fact except for foreign currency stores, there was almost nothing to buy in the whole country. Even the foreign currency stores had maybe 5% as many goods, even in Moscow, as the supermarket shown in the video. It was impossible to get a good cup of coffee or a iced soft drink in the height of summer. They didn't exist. Food, even on our relatively upscale tour, was generally horrible unless you liked smoked cod and beets.. To see how things have changed over the last 35 years in Russia is why there won't be any uprising against Putin. The people's lives are infinitely better than they were in Soviet times...over even pre-Putin times.
Until they're used to the "good" life and we take it away from them. Enjoy being the new North Korea of the world, Russia. Пока они не привыкнут к "хорошей" жизни и мы ее у них не отнимем. Наслаждайтесь тем, что вы - новая Северная Корея мира, Россия.
@@williamyoung9401 I think many people living in the West have grossly underestimated the resolve and fortitude of the average Russian citizen. Many like Putin, some may certainly not like him. However, if you bothered to ask the average Russian if they feel a change in their government is for the West to decide...they would react rather defensively. As for becoming the next North Korea...this I highly doubt. One only needs to look at a map to quickly understand the scope and breadth of Russia's resources to weather these sanctions. Rather, we should all be concerned that these economic sanctions have only served to polarize the BRICS nations against the Western economic block. They are trading amongst themselves, now. This will only serve to accelerate the decline of the USD as a global currency reserve. Fundamentally, this move does not bode well for the average American, as a net importer of goods. IMHO.
I think the previous struggles of Russians has prepared them for hardships that many other countries would not have been prepared for. They are definitely hard working and resourceful.
@@jamesgough3938 when the people will understand that one thing, that russians are against this war! The real russians! Every video that I see, of a reporter/youtuber asking people about what they think of war is either in Moscow or St.Petersburg....like for real? go to Kamchatka, Vladivostok, Saratovsk, Kazan, etc and ask the locals there how do they feel about it....Almost everyone will tell you that this war has no meaning. Moscow is like another world, yes it is a beautifull city but people are mostly dumb, full of propaganda shit and think that they own the world (the same will be in EVERY Capital City of the World). Am for real! Like there is no better thing than to live with everyone in peace and exchange the joys of life, the experiences, the culture, the food, the technology, etc. Like imagine if russia would make an exhange program with USA for the farmers! Like the farmers from USA could come to Russia and learn something new and vice versa. Or a SpaceProgram with China, USA and build rockets to try to colonize the planets and not other countries! OR like China, Japan, Korea could also make some Exchange of Technology Program OR/AND Greece, Turkey, Italy could make some kind of combined tourism program. Like this world is full of oportunities, why cant we all enjoy it without conflict, wars, hegemony and stop wasting our lives on things we dont love/want to do.

According to the license plates, they're in Kirov Oblast where my ex-wife is from. Kirov isn't much of a city and most people want to leave, but compared to the countryside in that region, it's like Vancouver. It's not really necessary to go that far away from civilization but alas, some people have family there, which keeps them from opting for farm life in a place with better soil (Rostov Oblast), sunnier weather (Krasnodar Krai), better access to Europe (Kaliningrad Oblast) or more interesting local history (Yaroslavl Oblast). I remember taking a plane via Kirov's local airport once and there was literally a dog sleeping in front of the terminal. Granted, it was 7:00 am. I've got to say that I love their traditional Russian brick oven there.
Thank you, it's a little strange to watch this video without acknowledging the Russian military is leveling villages just like this in Ukraine; and killing women and children that look just like Lars' wife and children while they're at it.
@@christophercousins184 things could have been different if the US and Europe had not supported the coup d'état in Kyiv in 2014. By the way, what are the Ukrainian military doing with the Ukrainian village that the Russian troops have entered?
@@christophercousins184 since 2014 it has been Ukrainian military leveling Donbass cities and villages.

The Russians are liberators of their own historic land, and most people on these lands welcome them as such.
I bought a house in a village 150 km from Lars. I learned that by chance when started watching his channel. Well, my village has 3-storey brick buildings and 1-storey semi-detached brick houses. I bought my half for $2700, it's 76 sq m, which is a big flat, and is easy to heat. We all have central plumbing, and all 3-storey buildings also have central heating. I have an opportunity to connect my house to the central heating system, and I'm saving up for that. Plus we have good Internet, a nursing station, a library with a concert hall for 1000 seats, a big 3-storey school and a kindergarden. It's a just a village in the forest built for loggers and peat extraction. Villages are very different.
Проблема России, да и любой страны в барыгах, в условиях, когда нет конкурентов ставят цены как хотят. Я живу в западной Сибири, цены как прежде, на что-то упали. А в таких посёлках и деревнях нет конкуренции, вот и издеваются над людьми.
Возможно фермерам стоит взять пример с Сергея. Каким-то образом найти и купить китайский аналог , который будет в разы дешевле и скорее всего не хуже в качестве.
Я живиу в Курске, работаю на рынке, а живу в деревне, цены в городе ниже, а в деревне выше на продукты. Но электричество, газ, в деревне меньше стоят в два раза. Вода своя две колонки. Так что продукты сами выращиваем земли хватает и продаем еще, и зарабатываем на рынке нормально. Так что санкции не как не повлияли на нас.))))))

Sugar, salt and vinegar are things to have on hand if you are preserving your own food. Love this place, would like to visit for a few weeks. Go camping, fishing and hunting with the locals.
I don’t understand some bloggers who recalculate the cost of Russian goods in dollars or euros, because our salary is in rubles. The cost of diesel fuel, for example, in January 2022 in my region was about 55 rubles per liter, now in August the same amount. But in January, the dollar exchange rate was 77 rubles per dollar, now it's 57, and wages have not decreased. And now, based on the exchange rate, you conclude that fuel has risen in price by 27%. The same goes for food..! This is some nonsense!
Lars sent me.🙂 I would assume the main difference in the price of foodstuffs would be those that are produced domestically versus truly imported. For example Coca Cola is a US brand, but with some exceptions, they usually setup shop where they're distributing their products. Even if they "pull out of the country" the factory is still in Russia. The Russian enterprise could still produce the same product with no changes.
Things like soda, food, McDonald’s are easy to substitute, it’s true. When it comes to cars, airplanes parts - it’s a little bit more difficult 😅 Maybe, it’s a story for another video. We’ll see how this one play out
@@RealReporter I've seen videos where Lars fabricated some parts himself, I'm sure they can't make everything but it shows the sort of can-do attitude that Russians have.
@@Jamal_Tyrone That attitude will encourage them to never become reliant on imported goods again. Even if it means accepting less efficient designs. Having equipment that is guaranteed to be reparable if it breaks down. Is better than having a super high tech machine that sits idle because there are no spare parts. The pandemic and now the spat with Ukraine is having the same effect everywhere. People trying to reverse the trend of global supply chains. A serious setback to the move towards globalisation. ALWAYS BUY LOCAL PRODUCTS WHEN POSSIBLE. EVEN IF IT COSTS A LITTLE MORE. It pays off in the long term.
Hej Lars. Godt at se en Dansk der lever og fungere i Rusland. Må du og din familie leve lykkeligt. Også dejligt at se det dejlige store land og menneskerne der, var der bare fred i verden og vi kunne fungere på tværs af grænser. 👍
