Россия - это одна из немногих стран, где радуга принадлежит детям!😂 Russia is one of the few countries where the rainbow belongs to children!😂

На днях ЕС и США ввели очередной пакет с санкциями, а мы положили этот пакет в пакет с пакетами😂😂😂

I've been studying the Russian language, history, culture and politics for the past three years. I've made some Russian speaker friends online, also I've made friends with some Russians who live in my town, Sarasota Florida. I was super surprised at how quickly they opened their hearts to me when I spoke their language to them. To a Russian it's a big deal when they hear a non-Russian trying to communicate in Russian. They understand and appreciate the struggle. LOL I love Russian people! ❤

🌈 Like one commenter wrote down here in Russian: Russia is one of the few countries where the rainbow belongs to children 🌈

Когда вы выучите русский, вы сможете общаться еще в Белоруссии, Азербайджане, Казахстане, Узбекистане, Киргизии, Туркмении, Армении, Грузии. Вас прекрасно поймут в Болгарии, Словакии, Сербии. Еще в Украине, Литве, Латвии, Эстонии, но, там некоторые, не очень умные, сделают вид что не понимают 😂😂😂

My fav youtuber in 2024. I’m moving to Russia soon to study.

Я живу на Украине. Родом из России и очень хочу мира и вернуться к нормальной жизни. Мы за 1 сутки могли приехать в Москву, за 9 часов долететь до Владивостока. Нас славян разрывают специально, так запад коллективный может спокойно поработить целую страну🙏🙏🙏 Спасибо вашей семье за правду и смелость🙏🙏🙏

Не надо ни кому ничего доказывать. Умные люди и так все понимают. Просто живите, просто показывайте ваш путь. Российские люди помогут.

It amazes me every time I watch your videos and notice how clean and tidy it is.I experienced it also when I was in Sochi for Xmas a year ago.Absolutely love Russia.🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Германия смотрит! Желаю удачи на русской земле!

God bless Putin and all the Russian people Love from Canada. Thank you for welcoming this wonderful family..

I can remember my first day in Russia.........I had traveled for 48 hours with no sleep from the other side of the world, and I could not get my contact in Russia on the phone.......to meet me at the end of my journey in Siberia. A complete stranger at the airport in Moscow who spoke no english, helped me (almost no russian) figure out that I had the wrong area code and then spoke to my contact about my flight number and time of arrival. Absolute champion.......who at least I could thank profusely in Russian.

I've really noticed the upbeat nice music 🎶 they play everywhere you go. Here in Canada they just play depressing sappy, sad music everywhere. The kids play area is unlike anything in canada aswell. Canada has changed so much in the last few years. It's a dump! Lol Russia is more focused on the humanity of life, and I appreciate 🙏🏻 that. Dropped off my passport application yesterday, and am still pursuing a move to Russia 🇷🇺 I love it. God bless. 🫶🙏🏻

My favorite country is Russia am planning to come in Russia next year ,Russia is beautiful, Great, clean,and have loving people .

Perth Australia here, great videos of Russia. Luv to U all and luv for all Russians!!

Enjoy your videos! I also enjoy reading the comments. The Russian people seem very positive and welcoming. I would break bread with them ❤

Every video i watch about Russia, Russia is very child-friendly all over the country.

It's amazing that my country is becoming a Noah's Ark for good people who profess traditional values. I'm very happy about this! Have a great day everyone!

Hi from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I’m jealous about you people if I’m young again I’m going to Russia 🇷🇺 ❤…..you make the right decision……for Christian people Russia 🇷🇺 is the best country in the world 🌎 ❤️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺🙏☦️🛐❤

Looks great overthere Arend the sanctions only affect us like here in the Netherlands, Never did know Rusia whas that nice, I hope you will find a good farm for you and your family. Regarts from the Netherlands.

Understanding how to decipher the cyrillic alphabet is a game changer. The future looks bright over there in Russia. It was a ballsy move in this political climate, but I think you made the right call for you & your family. The big man upstairs is surely proud of you.

Arend, you are doing pretty GOOD at reading Russian!! Fantastic!! Thanks again for the video!!

“Sanctions are killing this place” 😆😆😆😆Their shelves are fully stocked, more so than anyplace I’ve been to in Florida lately! Love this channel!!!

the kids' drawings at the end of the video made my day!

Эти люди видно, что целеустремленные, трудолюбивые😊Очень нравится, что они любят детей, заботятся о их будующем. Таких смелых людей надо поддерживать. Да Бог всё получится!

Greetings from Western New York state 👋 great video

Приветствую Вас! Я из России. Ваша семья удивительная! Смотрю все ваши видео, вы честные, хорошие люди! Хочу, чтобы у Вас всё получилось,что вы хотите! Всего доброго Вашей семье!!! ❤

Рисунок с женщиной и коромыслом, которая борется с мужчинами - это иллюстрация к местной легенде о женщине, которая пошла утром за водой и своим коромыслом забила 10 захватчиков. К сожалению, один из них убил женщину саблей. Поэтому одна из башен Кремля в Нижнем Новгороде называется Коромыслова.

The Art and craft stores are dangerous for me! If I get into one I will never get out without leaving behind at least $300 😂😂😂

16:39 - "Полесье" (Polesie) - Belarussian toy brand. Very good quality!!

Guys, don't get shy to ask people where to find all the products you need. It happens in every country). I struggled to find my usual stuff in Dublin, then we moved back to my husband's Australia and struggled to find the stuff we needed there😁. Now I'm back to my favorite home, Russia. It took me a couple of years to adjust again🤭🤷‍♀️. You will be just fine, take your time❤

I love your guys channel, seems that Russia is a real nice country.

If 'normal people' are hating on the normal people of Russia, I think they really need to take a step back and think about what they are being told and start to assess the motives of those that are telling them such things. 'God sees all' is a popular Russian expression.

By the way, you both are looking happy and relaxed. 😊😊

Wow! U can already read Russian!! You're progress is so fast! Congrats on that! You are a quick learner! Awesome! I can see that you still lack in vocabulary but your reading progression is impressive indeed! Rooting for you guys! ❤

Наблюдаю за этой семейкой и понимаю что они более русские чем многие из тех кто с рождения в России живёт... Ибо русский это состояние души !!

🇷🇺Good afternoon, Family, find out where in your city there are family clothing stores, where things are much cheaper and there are such stores and products. When you are Russians, the state will help you, everything will be fine. 👍

Great video's.. Thank you Russia, for advancing the rights and protection of children..🇷🇺✌️💯⭐️❤️🇷🇺✌️💯⭐️❤️🇷🇺

А ведь Анниса прекрасно справилась с ролью командира экипажа! У нас в России говорят, что муж голова, а жена шея. Куда шея повернет, туда и голова смотрит. Женщина- мать в семье это основа основ, фундамент, броня! Удачи вам, дорогие ребята и большого семейного счастья!

Youhave opened a window to Russia for western people despite the crazy propaganda on media. Thank you a lot for dispelling myths about Russia. Удачи и добра! 😊

Arend, I think you and Anneesa and the children , apart from feeling safe and secure, are going to have a lot of fun in Russia!

The sanctions never working;) you have a good day and your amazing family 😊

Russian American here. Has not been to Russia for 18 years. Loved the knitting and embroidery section. Michaels does not have such a selection in the USA. Thank you for showing this.

I really loved the art done by children. They are so talented. The mall is awesome, clean, and full of stuff! I loved the flight simulator! I would have had to try that, but I'm pretty sure I probably would have crashed! Lol!😂 Thank you for another wonderful video. God bless you and your family!

У тебя хорошие успехи в изучении русского языка.Молодец!

The Russian gov ENCOURAGES the Arts.. big time. Their music, singers etc are really encouraged.

My Ukrainian friend Sveta always tell me that lots of Russians are leaving the country, and I said to her: look, it seems that there is the other way around because I've seen families from Australia, Germany, Canada, moving to Russia. I hope this video will help people like Sveta who have believed all the propaganda they have been fed, and realized that Russia is not the hell that they have been told.... Thanks for making this beautiful video. it is exactly what I saw when I visited SPB three years ago... Nice people, wonderful culture, and a very nice place where to live and raise a family...

can't wait to see your products on the shelves of malls like this 😉

You're a lucky man Arend, Aneesa is really sweet.

I also have never seen a stroller like that until I came to Russia. Russia has a lot of things that I have never seen in the States Age of Empires 2 : The Conquerors expansion Love that game! Haha! The game of my childhood

Спасибо, что уделили время детским рисункам.

The malls are nice in Russia. Our malls are dying here in the US. We still have ours, but it has empty areas. 😊❤

My local town has a 'mall' and there are only 7 shops occupying the place. One of them is a bakery and the other is a secondhand store. The major stores like WHSmiths and Wilkos have shut down leaving massive empty spaces. UK is sooo prosperous. NOT. Almost forgot to mention the main street looks derelict with more buildings sat empty than stores there too. It's almost a ghost town and it looks depressing.

I'm so glad I found your channel. Im sure you hear it all the time but your family is epic. I wish you all the happiness.

Привет из Сибири 🤝 здоровья и благополучия вашей семье!

Glad to see y’all out and about enjoying life and shopping around! ❤️ the malls look great! I miss them, I hope to go to Russia very soon

A great way to spend the weekend! The pilot's cap looks nice on Annessa! ❤

God Bless you and your precious family.

Table games are great. Fully agree with you here. Bless you guys. The Australians started the marathon called A new house in 90 days 😂. Good luck to them 🎉. There’s so much going on everywhere… 😊

Heartwarming for someone who learned Cyrrilic Alphabet when I was four years old, Arend! Keep on studying; eventually your brain will accomplish the task!

The drawings and paintings are wonderful.

Порадовали рисунки детей, вернее их содержание: в них суть того, что важно для нас в обычной жизни.

That was a cool mall tour. I've never seen a stroller like that one in the US or Europe, very ingenious. How's the vehicle search going? Have you transferred your driver's license yet? Is there a driving test, and is it in Russian? Can you give a tour of a building supply store, similar to Home Depot? I'm a tool and builder supply nut and would love to see their selections. Have you found a church to attend yet? Sending prayers to your family! ❤

В центре города должен быть снежный городок с ледяными скульптурами, огоньками, горками и каруселями. Возьмите туда детишек пока зима не кончилась. В каждом городе такие есть( или были).

Here in Russia rainbow belongs to children. It's actually a symbol of the childhood here, not pervert stuff.

Thanks for taking us with you to the mall! It is a beautiful mall, nicer than anything we have in Syracuse. A male that opened up when we were much younger is now closed, another one closed a few years ago. The "big " one still open is in poor condition and often is less visited than yours. Thanks again "captain ", nice flying with you!! Many blessings to you and your family!!

I’m from Nizhny and can help you with translation

Добрый день,наши любимчики ютуба,Аренд,Аннеса и Ваши милые ангелочки!Сердечный привет из Тюмени❤

Those stores look quite amazing to me😁realy beautiful and clean environment!👌🏻🤩

Привет из Новосибирска! Как приятно смотреть на любящих родителей и прекрасных детей! Дай Бог вам здоровья и сил!

Мало народу ещё и потому, что многие заказывают в интернет магазине Wildberees, OZON, и т.д. намного удобнее и цены на любой кошелёк.

Санки-коляска - это очень удобно. У моей и колеса и полозья для снега. Чтобы вчегда можно было переставить на колеса, где есть асфальт, а не снег.

These people really TEACH how to do beautiful art!

Это Россия🇷🇺и этим все сказано! ❤ Хорошего дня вам и вашей семье

Привет из Казахстана!❤ Я рад за вас, желаю счастья,здоровья вам и вашим детям!

I live in the city center of a large Russian city, St Petersburg, where there was not much land to build large mall since the old buildings are too beautiful and historic to tear down for malls but we do have one that was built about 15 years ago and outside the city center many were built in high rise residential areas. So those living our in the sleeping districts have malls like these so there is less need to go to the city center for shopping. So those living out further have much more convenient lives than 20 years ago. That also had the benefit for the historic city center to have less traffic and continue to have their many small shops on every block. I never needed or wanted a car after moving to St Petersburg from California 24years ago and never having lived in a city before, able to walk everywhere or use the very convenient public transportation really improves quality of life by not having a car and increases social and cultural interaction by 100x at least. I always valued having property and being more self sufficient so my old friends were surprised by my reports of loving city center life. In the US, crime poverty and dirt is the main product of cities with very distinct districts that separated people by wealth and security. But here it i so safe, and everyone gets along, with unlimited access to culture and social activities I find I love it. Any area of the city is a mix of wealth and interests and everyone gets along so walking home from a night of dancing or late night dinner after opera or drama is a pleasant safe thing to do here while back in the US it would be foolhardy and life threatening. That additional feeling of security and the calm it brings makes interacting with strangers or exploring new areas represents real freedom unknown in the US where suspicion is the default state.

Мне всё больше нравится этот канадец. По менталитету он как "добрая открытая душа". Такие в России быстро станут своими✌🏻

People writing "there are no people" don't realize the size of the facilities to estimate the number of people inside

Канады! Познают Россию, изучают её и ходят по окружающему миру их, магазины, улицы, люди.... И не какой пропаганды ЛГБТ-сообщества.....

Вы сделали правильный выбор и ваши дети будут вам благодарны за это ! Живите в любви , счастья и добра вашей милой семье ! Наша Россия Матушка милосердна и открыта для таких людей, как вы ! Успехов вам в изучении нашего красивого и богатого русспого языка ! Творите, радуйтесь жизни и примите нашу русскаю душу! Обнимаю вас, друзья и Бог вам в помощь ! ❤🇷🇺❤

I think that both of you are teaching your children very important things right now: not to be afraid to change lives, not to take on adventures, to explore this world with open heart! No matter how your way here turns out, your children have already found out a treasure - to reflect

Какая музыка красивая... спокойная и нежная.... пусть жизнь ваша у нас в России будет благополучной и спокойной, дети растут и развиваются, у нас в России очень много делается чтобы дети развивались и росли в нормальных, традиционных условиях... удач вам....

Excellent! We also looked at what was in the store in another region. I also love quilting and embroidery. We have no shortage of goods. It's good that Anissa brought the threads with her. DMC threads are now very expensive, and you are now living on rubles. Yes, you need to visit different markets to remember prices, compare them, look at the quality of goods and their terms. Have a great weekend!

Купите себе Лото,мы всегда играем всей семьей в эту игру😜

the shelves are more full there than in Montreal that's for sure . Our stores got really pathetic here. food and dept. stores even Walmart is yukky here. cheaper to buy online now compared to going to the stores . I just want to add I am really enjoying to your videos and LOVE the way you guys think. Your ideas are correct and right . too bad we all cant escape Canada right now . I agree with what you feeling about what the heck is going on here and across the world. God Bless you and Keep you ALL safe . Much affection from MTL Canada .

you're great, 👍. If you are thinking of making a large purchase, and in order not to pay for delivery, I can help you with this, I have a 3-meter passenger trailer. I also advise you to go to the city of Chkalovsk to visit the museum of the famous pilot.

Ооо... Как только вы зашли в Иголочку, я прняла, что Анисса там может долго находится. Помните вы были в торговом центре Небо, так вот, там есть еще больше магазин для рукоделия, Леонардо называется))) Мне туда тоже заходить не стоит 😅

You are amazing, guys and the way you are trying to adapt to a new country and culture is incredible! It took me almost five years to feel somehow comfortable in Canada when we immigrated in 90th🤷‍♀️. Don’t give up! I am Belorussian Canadian and I wish I can go back one day…

Аренд, купили ли вы одежду (комбинезоны) для себя? Я работаю в магазине мужской одежды. Если бы я знала ваши размеры и рост, то могла бы вам подыскать что то по размеру и выслать в подарок.Я живу в Санкт-Петербурге.

Привет с Новороссийска шахматы это круто 👍

In Russia, digitalization is at a high level. Now, for city dwellers, a smartphone is a necessary tool. Most payments are made through a smartphone (shops, websites, services). So sooner or later you will still have to learn both computers and other gadgets. Progress does not stand still; everything is developing at a rapid pace.

There is a cruel fact about Western sanctions to Russia: most of the things you have at home and concider it Western brands are actually not produced in West, but in China, South East Asia, India... So there is literary no problem to get that stuff from countries that actually produce them.. There is, of course, some high technology products taht are indeed hit with sanctions, but that is automotive industry, aircraft etc, that kind of final products, but hit in the sence it is hard to get that brands, for instance, Indian Mahindra couldn't wait for Western brands to get out of Russia for agricultur machines market. But you will see yourself when you start to acqure them, you still can buy, let's say, westrn brand tractor, no problem, but because it is now acquired from third country (country that doesn't apply sanctions to Russia buy them from Western countries and resell it to Russia markat), it loses concurency on market, being more expensive (due to middlemen) than, for instance Indian or Chinese products without middlemen (but of course, the best price would be domestic Russian final product). So either way, being totally absent, or finding some round way to still be present on Russian market, Western brands are losing market big time, and same with food sanctions to Russia in 2014, once they lost it, there is practically no chance for return. P. S. In that 2014. Russia was biggest importer of food in Europe, and thanks to that sanction, today, just 8 years later, Russia is one of the biggest food exporter in the world. That could explain to you why farmers are very welcomed, becuse they didn't even yet scratch agricultural potential of their wast lands... Because Russians figure it out, who control basic necessities --energy, food, raw materials, everyday technologies -- and is able to make them cheap and accessable to everyone, don't need millitary and wars to influence the world.

Аренд полюбил Анессу наверно за улыбку. Как прекрасно Анесса улыбается. 😊👍. Очень красиво

Посмотрел ваш разговор с Филином, было очень интересно🙂

The more that I see of Russia, the more I would like to visit. Everything seems to be so much cleaner, especially the fast food places and even the employees are dressed nice. The hyper food stores there look amazing! I could spend all day in one of those.

God bless your family! 👏I wish you soon will buy a farm and start your own farming business near Nizhnii Novgorod👍

Yes, someone wrote below about sanctions, they do not scare us from the word at all - that's the way it is, we live the way we used to live, and even better.I'm finally home, I also live in Nizhny Novgorod, and we also went to the New Era shopping center, bought a blanket for the bed and a big soft cat for me. So yes, there are few people in our stores on weekdays, everyone is working, children are in schools and kindergartens, weekends most often fall on Saturday and Sunday. So yes, I came and looked at you, and drawings are often posted in the mall - this is a competition for children, then they are awarded.What you were watching was about ecology and nature.I am always glad to see and hear from you

Аренд пошёл по проторенной тропке Экспата и Рассела - рассказывает про магазины ) ЗЫ: Приятно видеть, что Анисса последнее время повеселела, на первых роликах прям угрюмая была ) I've noticed that Arend is good to listen to at 0.75 )

I love Russia, I wish very much to live there one day.
