Russia made a big mistake listening to western institutions like the IMF/World Bank by following the service based economic model. They should have done what China did and focused on industry which they could have done better than China. Once Russia had a competitive industrial base they could have gradually gone more into the service sector.
Hi Tom, thanks for the amazing video about consumer export products, but you forget the Russian energy export market of the Russian oil major’s. Maybe this is worth a new video.
"service based economic model" - that's not a thing. America has plenty of mfg, as does the rest of the developed world. The issue is employment. Western mfg is more automated, so the service sectors employ a greater number of people. That doesn't make the economy "based" on services. Google up export maps of the top-10 economies.
@@crazyirish__2171 Yea, except, it's about to help Intel, as government help is going to ensure they modernize and create the largest silicon manufacturing hub in the world.
Its never too late..and Russia should restart its manufacturing industry...They need to priortize products that are actually consumed by ordinary citizens
Vostok watches actually have a quite large fan base outside of Russia. After all its one of the few watch making companies in the world that produce their own movements. Great woke accent on Masha and the Bear, Slava, it was really funny :)
@@sisyphusvasilias3943 A watch movement (also known as a “calibre”) is the engine of a watch that acts as the powerhouse to make the watch and its functions operate. This internal mechanism moves the hands and powers any complications such as a chronograph, annual calendar or dual time zone.
@@sisyphusvasilias3943 The movement of a watch is simply the internal components of a watch that allows for it to tell time. The brand Vostok use automatic movements in their watches which does not utilise a battery but instead stores energy in a spring which is ultimately passed to the hands of the watch through a complex system of gears, wheels, levers and other parts such as lab created sapphire or rubies to tell time.
Russian Standard vodka is superb. I can buy it in Kalamazoo, Michigan for $17.29 for 750ml. It is my favorite. The beautiful bottle is a bonus, it is what attracted me to buy it to begin with but I was delighted to find out what great vodka it really is. I am an American and I love Russia.
Those of us who have been watching your videos for a long time know where your heart is concerning what is currently going on. Please do not take any of the rude comments personally.
@@railfanningpoints2.045 please move to Russia. You hate America. Perhaps you will prefer Russia, where journalists are murdered, 90 percent of people rent crappy apartments, there are no fair elections and many mayors are simply appointed by Putin's regime, owning guns is illegal, and the economy is weak. Please go.

Seven7 @RussianPlus You're one of the first people I thought of when this started. I feel so bad for you, praying you and your family stay safe, we'd love to have you back "down south USA" :) .... love your channel ...
Actually Yandex is very capable internet search engine. In case of criminality in EU and US, it shows whant google is censoring. Also there is Yandex Taxi services. It's like Uber.
Hey if RussianPlus taught me one thing it's that people are people and govts are govts. You have a huge heart and I know you have great message to share. Don't let the haters get in the way of your awesome channel
You are absolutely right. You mean the one new government right??? This s*** ain't going to end. They're going to ramp it up. Things are going to get weird all over the world. They are conspiring against the world. Psychological and physical warfare against humanity.
Hi from Brooklyn, NYC guys. Plenty of Tess and Greenfield tea in NYC at any NetCost Market. I tried both and they are good. I have been to your city of Ekaterinburg 5 times. I always have a good time there! Thanks for all the great info! 🙂
Our 7 year old grandson loves “Masha and The Bear”. I have watched many episodes with him on Netflix and I think it is a good kids show. Usually has a good moral to the story with a lot of excitement for the kids in between. ……Oh and I’ve got a Kalashnikov in the closet in addition to the one you shot at our parents home while you were in Georgia!!
I think that list can be a lot longer bro and I'm not talking about gas and oil. There is Yandex services, heavy machinery, forklifts, train wagons, tyres, ship navigation equipment, engines, planes, helicopters (recently to Japan) and a lot more. I think there's not much coverage on what's produced and exported from Russia, because the marketing industry has got a lot to learn from the West. People are just clueless of the country's manufacturing and exporting capabilities (I'm not talking about foreigners, but Russians).
Even iPhones have Russian components. these are some varieties of minerals, neon, which is used in the manufacture of components, and more. Boeing gets titanium from Russia. In fact, exports are quite significant, they just don't cover it.
I am not aware of how large the export market is for home or personal care products, but I enjoy shopping online for Russian candy, snacks, and a toothpaste called Natura Siberica.
Нужна вторая часть. Россия еще производит навигационной оборудование для кораблей, на российских ракетах доставляют иностранные спутники в космос,одна из российских компаний входит в 10 крупнейших по выпуску мобильных игр, да и в принципе российские компьютеные игры (вар тендер, спин тирес, тарков и тд.) и кино ( например сериал эпидемия и фильм майор гром попали на нетфликс это из тех что я помню)начинаю расходится по миру потихоньку. Согласен , в стране дерьма хоть лопатой греби, но то не многое хорошее нужно защищать и популизировать.
Во всех странах дерьма хватает, но Я нигде не видел столько критики собственной страны, как в России. Это какой-то комплекс. И это неправильно. Хотите жить лучше - перестаньте ныть, цепляйтесь за хорошее и развивайте это. Даже в прошлом видео Славы, где он рассказывал про города, почти под каждым он перечислял минусы. Зачем? Как будто в заморских городах нет проблем.
@@olegmikheev8655 вот прям 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 как надоели нытики уже, причем как правило это те, кто либо не был за границнй вообще, а еслии был - то только как турист по путевке.
@@olegmikheev8655 "Я нигде не видел столько критики собственной страны, как в России" В Польше похожая ситуация, может даже ещё сильнее проявляется. На иностранную публику поляки редко говорят о своей стране плохо, но если начать учить польский, то обнаруживается просто неисчерпаемый пласт нытья, и может показаться, что в Польше вообще нет ничего хорошего (что, конечно, не правда). Хз с чем это связано. Но, впрочем, ничто ведь не мешает ныть и развиваться одновременно.
OMG… is Greenfiels actually Russian! I’m flabbergasted… need to tell my husband about it as he’s a big fan of this brand. I prefer loose tea and another Russian brand but still good to know. Russia is a tea-drinking nation (for those who don’t know) although we’ve become coffee-drinkers as well. Best cup of cappuccino in your life might await you in Russia… please come and try.
I don't know why this video didnt show up on my timeline. I'm glad I came here to check it. In Brazil we have Stolichnaya and its kind of expensive. Well Masha and the bear is safe here no cancelling and my niece just love it. Now Ural Motos I think I learned about it from one of your videos and yes you don't buy it for being reliable you buy it because it looks AMAZING! I never saw one here but probably we have it somewhere. Nice to see you back man!!!!
What's made today when it comes to cameras, lenses, film, binoculars and optical instruments? Almost all vintage cameras and lenses of any interest were made in Japan, Germany or the Soviet Union.
I loved my Ladas I owned in the 90s before Lada pulled out of the U.K. I also liked my Zenit camera before I switched to digital 20 years ago! I have discovered where I can buy Baltika beer. The tea is harder to find, though.
Needed new tubes for a 40-year-old Fender guitar amp here in North Carolina. Bought Electro-Harmonix brand made in Saratov. Russian tubes considered the best. Молодец! As far as consumer electronics losing market after 1992, we don't even TRY to make any here in USA.
My uncle bought in the early 90s many products from Russia which were all excellent: Big fridge with a dispenser (unseen in Bulgaria) ; microwave (no body had such a thing in Bulgaria) , mixer (very rare) , big screen tv with a remout (remout control Tv were extremely rare in Bulgaria at that time). Stereo sound system with two columns blinking with the rhythm of the music (цветомузика). Lada oka- very reliable city car. Those products were excellent and i can only wonder why you Russians did not put efforts to develop them further.
Начало 90х было началом конца. Последующие 10 лет у нас пропали практически все заводы и фабрики. Медецина и образование умерли. Лучшие умы уехали из страны, а молодые парни гибли в гражданской войне. И это только часть проблем, которые решаются до сих пор. Такое бывает когда президент России в начале 90х с трибуны благословит Америку рассчитывая, что дружба будет взаимной.
Don't listen to the haters. Your videos are always entertaining! Even funnier that you have a southern accent because you learned English in Tennessee haha! What's going on is no reflection on you or Russia for that matter. You have every right to support or not support your country. It's all good.
Ladas were sold in India during soviet Era but not now. India can be a hot market for Ural motorcycles. Their design look like Jawa and Royal Enfield. These are most loved motorcycles now. Infact, Honda also had to make a motorcycle of such kind. The side car feature would definitely attract more customers as many families can't shift to cars because cars are expensive in India compared to motorcycles. And side cars are usually kept in scooters for handicapped ppl. I think Ural could definitely change the trend.
I am so sorry for you. You love your country and you did an incredible job showcasing such a big ass country. You truly discovered to me a Russia that I did not know. I really wanted to visit St Petersburg and Moscow, even Sochi and Georgia. I enjoyed your format, the interviews, and the outstanding camera work. Let’s not forget the research you did for the content. Now your videos will be a testament of a country before self destruction and international suicide. Few hours ago I was in front of your country’s embassy. It was late and cold, 9pm. About 20 Ucranians were shouting across the street to please stop the war. The feeling of impotence is immense. Just when the protest was finishing One of the male ucranians approached the small contingent of riot police posted in front of them. I could hear that The cops were telling war stories among them because one of them was deployed in Iraq as part of NATO operations. The ucranian excuse himself for interrupting the cops conversation but he really needed advise for body armor. Where to buy it. Etc etc. Cops explained to him that the body armour he needed was military grade and not available for civilians in Europe. Despite his inability to get proper armour, He looked determined to return to fight for his country. Wish you well. Be smart. When this is over Ill love to contact you so you can make a video about my city or country. Beers on me.
thanks George. whats happening is beyond understanding. i watch all telegram channels and see whats going on. tragedy, senseless war . things might get a lot worse
@@RussianPlus I think you are right mate, I've gotta felling that things are going to get alot worse. Maybe it's time to explore Australia, we're a fairly calm bunch down here✌️
Watched some other vlogs, in Russian goods stores along borders with Russia, Russian chocolates and candies also feature prominently. Kvass is also considered very Russian.
Very good and informative. Apart from all these, Russia exports lot of military gadgets, planes etc.But it is difficult to find a Russian white good product even in Russia. I visited Russia, purposefully asked for Russian make mobile phones, cameras even pens. Got a blank look from the seller. Hard to get. Ofcourse few countries like Romania I experienced that everything is Chienese barring Dacia car. In our country always good quality own products are available beside imported ones. Few people are also having sentiments to buy own country make products.
I bought Russian parakeet seeds in Italy, but they are hard to find in stores. Since my birds love it, does anybody know where I can buy it online? On the box it says "Classic вакннм корм для Волнистых Попугаев".
Ladas are my love 💙 But it is sad, that we can't actually call modern Ladas truely "Russian", because all these Ladas have mostly Nissan's details inside, and it is written in their documents... Haha, it is a big surprise for me, that Greenfield and Tess are Russian brands, I didn't know that. These are two my favourite tea brands and I've just had a cup of Greenfield Melissa tea.
I thought it would be interesting for Russians to know that too:). As far as Ladas go I think this partnership is really helping them improve quality so I’m all for it.
@@RussianPlus you are right, you've impressed most Russians, I suppose 😅 As for Ladas, I agree. This partnership is good for everyone - for the company itself and for consumers who can buy an inexpensive and at the same time high-quality car that will be easy to maintain and repair here.
Russian clothing brands including: Твое, Familia, INCITY, Zolla, Gloria Jeans, Смешные цены, O'STIN, Sela, Love Republic, Zarina, befree, Oodji and Finn flare are in some countries around Russia.
Thanks Слава I would love to see a Top Ten of Russian Heavy Manufacturing please. I recently learnt how many Trains/RailStock was produced in Russia and I was staggered. Also Shipbuilding, Nuclear Reactors, Agri-Technical, Submersibles, Aviation, Space/Satellites, Military etc. Manufacturing only though, so not Mineral and Energy Resource Industry which is well covered.
Very informative Slava! Thank you so much. I enjoy many different Russian kielbasa and cheeses when I visit NE Philly, Bell's Market on Bustleton Ave as well as Net Cost Market. Also Euro Market in Broomall Pa has many great Russian foods and sweets!
I always take a long time to check out your videos and always upset myself that I waited. You do a great job and I think the magic behind your great videos, is your contagious smile, excellent English language skill and dependable research. I never question if you have the facts, because I know you do not lie or inflate the truth. So, with so much fakeness and deception, it is a true joy to encounter people who offer the world, a genuine, "What you see, is what you get," presentation. I'm not sure about Russian products in the US. Is Smearnoff Ice familiar? It is considered a flavored beer.
Interesting video. Funny what you mention about Masha and the Bear. I've seen it. Personally as a "senior", I think a lot of modern parents don't understand that kids _do really know_ the difference between reality and cartoon. I and millions of kids grew up laughing, yes actually laughing, at Wile E. Coyote unsuccessfully attempting to blow to smithereens, smash, or otherwise obliterate Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny getting the best of Tasmanian Devil and Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam constantly shooting his guns and his mouth, and later on Bart Simpson engaging in all kinds of reprobate behavior. And weren't The Three Stooges nothing less than live action cartoon antics? And after all that and more I and millions of other kids who _still_ enjoy them didn't and haven't become psychopaths or anti-social. Even today, SpongeBob is one of the most known cartoons around the world _precisely because_ of its irreverent humor. Well, that's my rant. One class of export that maybe should have been in this list is Russian fine porcelain china, particularly the cobalt blue variety. I've seen this here in the US and in many other countries.
We have the tea, we have the vodkas (not a great fan of vodka), Baltika isn't bad, but i prefer our own beer. I use to consume a lot of Russian sauerkraut and pickles, and also canned codfish liver - yummy!! I would love to have one Kalash but it's illegal, LOL!
I bought a work coat once, maybe 20 years ago, that was made in Russia, brand was Black Duck...it was a good coat comparable to the Carhartt branded ones. I'd buy another coat made in Russia if I ever come across them again. I would think Russia would have instant credibility with cold weather gear.
I’m in Iowa, USA and 20 years ago a man I knew bought a Ural because it had an old motorcycle look and a side car. After a very short time he had to have the engine rebuilt and replace some major internal components. He wasn’t too upset though because the motorcycle wasn’t very expensive to start with.
This is true, because in the USSR, and later in Russia, most of the equipment had the prefix “do it yourself” due to frequent breakdowns. What we have really always done well is the weapon.😂
@@YAe71 Автомобили Лада выпускаемые на экспорт отличались высочайшим уровнем надежности, до сих пор на них ездят в Венесуэле и Кубе и эти владельцы говорят, что (идеальные для нас) "японцы" в их условиях давно уже сгнили, а Лада рулит. Просто заводы для внутреннего рынка уже тогда находились под властью "тольяттинской мафии", которая заставляла изготавливать брак на уровне специалистов в заводе (под шантажом находились токаря и фрезеровщики, вместе с приемщиками, они вынуждены были делать детали не в допуск), ориентируясь на продажу запчастей. Также Вы не упоминаете мирный атом, в этой отрасли СССР обогнал весь мир уже более чем на 30 лет!
Russian tea used to be (still is?) something different from the English tea. I was a kid in the 1990 when my family got as a gift some Russian tea from USSR. Those were the last years of USSR. One of my relatives visited a Soviet republic and brought some products. First, the tea, that had a very nice special taste. Searching on Amazon, it seems there are many brands selling Russian style tea, I wonder if it has that taste. Other products from USSR I got were fishing line, I was into fishing, and playing cards with very cool Russian artwork and Russian letters. Back to tea, I googled and found Kusmi Tea a brand of Russian tea, but headquartered in Paris, it has some very traditional packaging and art. Look for example at the round flat tin of Kusmi Tea Anastasia. It is strange that in Russia they try to present themselves as English while in the West, Russian tea still has a good reputation and a demand.
Hey there, Russians also make some of the best combat flight sims, such as Digital Combat Simulator and the Il - 2 series. I also bought some Natura Siberica cosmetics for men for myself and my dad, and they were great!
Slava! My parents brought a beautiful desk clock from Russia in 1976 (then cccp). They were allowed to only shop at ^dollor shop^. The clock's brand was Slava!
«Иногда Я скажу о каком-либо народе и царстве, что погублю его; но если народ этот обратится от своих злых дел, Я отложу то зло, которое помыслил сделать ему» (Иер.18:7-8). Дорогие соотечественники! Наша армия ведет полномасштабные боевые действия в другой стране, сбрасывая бомбы и ракеты на города соседней нам Украины. Как верующие люди, мы оцениваем происходящее как тяжкий грех братоубийства - грех Каина, поднявшего руку на своего брата Авеля. Никакие политические интересы и цели не могут оправдать смерть невинных людей. Умирают старики, женщины, дети. Гибнут военные с обеих сторон, уничтожаются города и инфраструктура. Кроме военных целей, снаряды и бомбы разрушают больницы, гражданские здания и жилые дома. Множество людей стали беженцами, районы боевых действий находятся на грани гуманитарной катастрофы. Вдобавок к кровопролитию, вторжение в суверенную Украину посягает на свободу самоопределения ее граждан. Между нашими народами сеется ненависть, которая создаст пропасть отчуждения и вражды на поколения вперед. Война разрушает не только Украину, но и Россию - ее людей, ее экономику, ее нравственность, ее будущее. Священное Писание призывает нас “удерживать руки от зла и искать пути мира” и предостерегает, что “сеющий зло пожнет его”. Если мы действительно хотим опираться на духовные ценности, сейчас крайне важно прислушаться к словам Иисуса Христа: “Вложи меч в ножны твои, ибо взявший меч от меча и погибнет”. Сказано также: "Не скоро совершается суд над худыми делами; от этого и не страшится сердце сынов человеческих делать зло". Но Божий суд беспристрастен и неотвратим. Сегодня наступил момент, когда каждый из нас должен называть вещи своими именами. Пока у нас еще есть шанс избежать наказания свыше и не допустить краха своей страны. Нам необходимо принести покаяние за совершенное прежде всего перед Богом и затем перед народом Украины. Нужно отказаться от лжи и ненависти. Мы призываем власти нашей страны к прекращению этого бессмысленного кровопролития!
I remember the Russian winter hats like "Ushanka". I goggled it. It is not only Russian, yet it is associated with Russia. Talented designers can improve the design actually create many variants of it, make it fashionable and maybe export it although the market won't be that big.
always enjoyed these videos. it even got me interested in visiting the country, but what is currently happening will change Russia for worse and tourism will not be a thing anymore. the videos will be like an archive of what it once was.
@@RussianPlus I don’t understand Putin, how does he ever thinks to win from this? Even if he “wins” the war. Looking back in 50 years, everybody will realize that this was the moment Russia truly lost Ukraine forever…. Putin may win the war, but he has lost the hearts and minds of Ukraine for ever, they won’t forget…
I love your channel and it has changed my perception of the people of Russia. I appreciate the tough position that Russian vloggers face. Many Americans do not properly appreciate the freedom of speech that our Constitution provides. It does not stop the federal government from violating our rights but it does provide a course of action to protect our rights. Your portrayal of everyday Americans and Russians seems very even handed and shows that our peoples have much in common. I have found that the same is true of the Ukrainian people and it is a shame that the actions of governments frequently betray the character of their citizens.
The only products from I’ve actually seen in the US is the Stoly vodka and Kapersky anti virus software. Of course I know about Ladas but I’ve never seen one in the US.
The USSR used to produce tons of tiny scale model cars and trucks. It was mainly for its internal market I suppose since the markings engraved underneath, as well as on the individual boxes, were all done in Russian. Today if you do a Web search for Russian scale models you get thousands and thousands of Ladas, GAZ, ZIS, Zil and Mokvitch on sites like eBay or Amazon. Scale model car collectors in Europe and some other countries seem to love them. In front of me on my desk I have a 1/43 scale model of a Moskvitch 412 that says CCCP underneath it. I bought it during a summer vacation in Finland. It is a very well made model with only a tiny fault in the paint job. Its castings are superb and it rolls really well. When I think of Russian workmanship and quality consumer goods I think of those scale model cars and of Fabergé jewelry. Yes, Fabergé did not only do eggs for the tsars. They also did less costly jewelry and sold it in stores in many countries. In Canada we stopped importing Ladas in 1998. In fact the Lada company stopped exporting them because the Canadian road safety regulations kept getting more and more strict for automakers. The same thing had happened years before to Canadian importations from Britain and France. Citroens, Renaults and Peugeots all disappeared because of the more severe safety regulations. Only the Koreans, the Japanese and the Germans survived and even managed to take more Canadian market share from the Americans. The competition between automakers from these 4 countries is ferocious. The Ladas didn't have a chance.
@@brianhughes1209 Do not say that! I am Italian from Turin and I love freedom. I watched that video weeks ago and I am very sorry for what has happened to Ukranian people and I do not support any terrible action made by Russian Government
God bless you Slava. Ignore the people who are too simple minded to understand the difference between governments and citizens. I'm about 30 minutes from Blacksburg Virginia where you filmed the video with the Amish.
Here in Germany I only use Russian razor blades which are cheap and pretty long lasting... As motorcycle enthusiast I know of course about the Ural motorcycles. They still use the BMW Boxer engine concept which they copied in license formerly before WW2. Still the same engine concept but of course a more modern version nowadays... I also like to see them... :)
I have Kaspersky for antivirus ... but as for the tea I guess the reason for those companies marketing their products as British is bcz British Tea is the standard for quality tea regardless if you are from russia or not ... good job in covering everything, it was interesting!
Ignore any rude comments. If Putin keeps this up, Russia is going to go through a really tough time. I wish you and all the good people of Russia, good luck. I hope you are taking necessary actions right now for the tough times that might come. It's always regular people that get hurt by war :( God bless and stay strong ^^
Hi dude I, am proud to be a Russian on my mom's blood and even have a last name that is in esquire by faith to a Russian general. But was born in USSR Kiev, and am planning on going somewhere else because life is not exceptionate to checkpoints. Discrimination is not uncommon poor social security and low setting economy is undermining core for reality where sobriety and evaluation for class ambiguousness as well as patriot based product to commerce replica is unmastered. It makes it impossible to understand what makes me locally accept competently and apparently uncomfortable 😣 is ratio for slow competitions in many unreformed stashed fields of projectile realization. Thus a small country that is for 30 plus years should have toppled up instead of underdodging.....so on top of own reasons, I have made a decision to travel else wherever perhaps Russia. Thanks for the updates by video, it helps much to be informed. I am trying to get a Russian view of specific life style in its own parts of different territory, so maybe it would be be cool if you show off some tradition specific bids of probability expected upon arrival for long term to cities in different places in country.
From the last 3 years I'm starting to love Russian people , and right now I'm deeply sorry and worry about you and all other good peoples of Russia, can't imagine when sanction take effect 😭
Ничего,переживём)теперь мы хорошо видим мир во всей красе,печально когда мир реагирует так грубо,на то что Россия угомоняет нацистов при этом подставляется под пули,чтобы не попасть по гражданским,в то время сама армия Украины ставит ракетные комплексы во дворах где обычные люди и прячется за ними,давит на своих древних танках машины,а потом западные сми говорят,что это русские так делают,когда Украина сама стреляет ракетами по самолетам и не справляется с выстрелом и попадает в дома,чтобы опять обвинить Россию и наверно никому не интересно когда Украина бомбит 8 лет юго восток своей страны!!!
Russia had these problems with Russian Revolution and communism destroying and abandoning most of the previous culture and brands, then with the collapse of USSR most of the culture, products and brands created during that period were abandoned and destroyed as well, so they have to start yet again. This radical changes were disastrous for Russia. And things are not looking too good with the West keen of containing Russia (meaning sabotaging and slowing its normal development). Also this type of leadership is very problematic when it comes to succession. The succession of Putin will bring great dangers for Russia including the worse scenarios possible like civil wars and separatism. Unless he knows what he's doing and there is a powerful guy ready to fill the gap.
I've only heard of two of these products: Kalashkinov and Vodka. I don't care for vodka, but I understand it's used to make White Russian and Black Russian cocktails. I'll have to try those sometime. There seems to be some Russian beers for sale at certain stores in Arizona, If I see Baltika Beer, I'll give it a try, because I enjoy a cold beer on a hot day. I never heard of Greenfield Tea, so I looked it up on the Internet. This product has gotten great reviews! Since I love green tea, I'll see if I can find some. I thought that Kvas (also Kvass) also sold well in Russia. Perhaps you can talk about that. I've never had it, but I'd like to try it.
Kvass is the name of a group of drinks with a special manufacturing technology. There are many flavors of kvass. It's like beer. Different people like different tastes. Need to try.
Thanks for making this video. Nice to know other Russian brands that I can support, except for the weapons LOL. Ural motorcycle looks cool! Keep promoting Russian brands/products.
Russian made machine-tooling and agricultural machinery (including high end harvesters, tractors) are some other good examples, although most of those are for internal market, but still. Also, you could cite any of the big military industry sectors, aircrafts or anti-air systems are huge exports of russia. Naval shipyards is another big sector, be it military or new families of tankers etc. Russia being caricatured as "living off gas exports" is becoming annoying as fucc, norway & canada have a bigger share of their GDP made up of oil exports than russia, it's a fact, and yet nobody berates those countries for it. Russia is also leading in various minerals exports, metals, and has record high cereal production for years, big part of it exported. Oh and, Russia makes and exports excellent nuclear energy reactors, and is leading in research and developement for future techs in this area. Also, don't forget Russia is a huge player in the space industry, still exporting rocket engines to the USA, or simply renting space travels to various private or state entities from all over the world, to launch their goods (satelites most of the time) into space.
As a neighbour of Russia, we have of course some of Russian products available, however, due to the idiotic sanctions ordered by the ever stupid usa we suffer hugely - more than anyone in the EU - so the selection is getting lesser and lesser.
In St. Petersburg there is a network of grocery stores "Pyramid" that sells goods from Finland, despite the fact that the export of food from Europe is prohibited here :). Apparently they belong to one of the officials close to Putin.
I was following this channel for more than a year, since it is showing a lot of curious and insightful stuff about Russia, a tough, but in the same time fascinating country. And it really pisses me off how both ordinary innocent Russians and Ukrainians got drawn in a senseless war, destruction and sanctions because of both the utter political incompetence of Zelensky and the KGB megalomaniac ego of Putin. Stay strong and oppose the war madness till the end, Northern comrades. Love from the Balkans!
@Joro Marinov I am miffed at your comparison between Zelensky and the Puts. I find it offensive that you would do this. There is a huge difference between invading and being invaded. You must not have any idea of what has motivated Puts. His invasion was inevitable. There was nothing Zelensky was ever going to be able to do about it. No offense, but is your head in the sand? Any a child could understand that under the circumstances (Putins evil motivations and his misguided perception of how the West would react) the war was on. Whew. C'mon man! Did you think that talks were possible? Did you think Zelensky could have made a deal? Are you that afraid of death? Why have you done this? Really. Please explain if you can.
I have no quarrel with the great Russian people but with its government. My heart aches at what hardships you will endure because of this. You are a great ambassador of your country.
I came here from Natasha's channel. I'm looking forward to watching some of your old videos. I'm thinking this video might need an update soon too, unfortunately. PS, a mate has a Ural with sidecar and he loves it - he rides it more than his Indian. It's VERRRRY slow, but huge fun. Cheers.
I buy Russian Standard and Stolichnaya vodka from my local shop here in England, it's great stuff. Also, best wishes to you and your family RussianPlus at the current time. I've been watching your channel for a few years now and I'm sure if people like you were in charge over there the world would be a much better place right now!
The most common product you can see here is Russian Standard Vodka for certain. You can literally buy it from any liquor store. How ever we do also have typical Russian supermarket and Russian gift store in Toronto where you can see quite a lot Russian goods there.
