Russian Shopping Mall 2 Years AFTER SANCTIONES 🇷🇺 

It's always fun to go shopping with you!

Good job, Sveta, a very interesting video and walk around of your hometown mall. Your English is excellent and it shows in your narration. Rest up and look forward to future video😊👍🏻

Love your channel. Keep up the good work! Excellent video editing.

Good to see you still on RU-vid. Don[t forget to take a vacation.

The Mall looked clean, smart and pleasant to wander around, not sure if the clothing would keep you warm with all that snow , must be the new 'Spring Collection' - Thanks for posting.

Another great video. Thank you.

I wish We had these great prices in the west. Everything is insane expensive the last couple of years. Even foodprices are all unaffoardable. 👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Thank you for the video!

So interesting, actually yes, some brands thought leaving Russia would impact people, but no, there are more important things in life than some western brands , which by the way all of them outsource their production to China . They left the whole market to local or alternative brands which are thriving. Dumb move by these global brands . Cheers , loved your video !!!

I love the walk around the mall in your town. Here, malls are dying by the day.

There is a store here in Tallahassee called Lofty Pursuits…they have breakfast, lunch and early dinners …but lots of toys, games and puzzles…as well as all the latest …what’s it called?Like frisbee golf…they make their own ice cream…about 20 different flavors…they make their own candy on a table behind the counter that you can watch them making…but I stop in about once a week for breakfast…friendly people ..

Hi svetlana. I love your clips, they make me feel very peaceful.

Hello from Alberta!

Excellent vidéo.

I know every clothes look good on you!❤

Good job, Sveta

OMG, I love Natura Siberica 😁 great products. Zarina has good basics but some items are a bit expensive

Still looking good…after all this time…you never go out of style…

Thanks beautiful.

Daher is run by a lebanese businessman based in the United Arab Emirates. You are very thorough. LC Waikiki is not that widespread. It bought out a french brand and is based around Southwest Turkiye in the tourist areas like Bodrum. Lots of Russian go there for holidays . Nice mall actually.

The BeFree Men's Hoodie with the unusual design is taken from the Japanese anime 'Attack on Titan'. It's one the more popular titles in recent times should viewers like that sort of thing.

Bravo et merci beaucoup Sveta ! Toujours agréable de voir quelque chose de beau, positif et intéressant sur la Russie ! Always good and fun to watch something nice, positive and interesting about Russia ! Всегда приятно и весело смотреть что-то хорошее, позитивное и интересное о России!

Excellent Svetlana, your videos are transparent and very interesting of what's happening. Hello from Australia 🦘🦘🦘.

Our malls are empty as well in the states. Used to be a big deal in the 90s in 2000s. But now, people don't go to malls

nice

I love watching Russian citizens compare food products to those in the US. News flash for all Russians, American food is no different than dog food, it’s all substance-like and GMO trash food. Russia at least has a law prohibiting GMO and substance-like foods from being sold in Russia. Also, shoes and clothing are made in Indonesia, China, etc., it’s no longer Made in USA.

13:16 Crazy expensive ??? Here Norgen Vaz (our best icecream) cost $8 or it used to cost $8.00 (600RUB) AUSTRALIA dollars. It was so expensive they now stop selling it in my town. I think you can still buy it but my guess is it's probably $10 for a double cone icecream. 🍦🍦😋

I'm gonna miss these videos if you end up moving. I do think it is ironic that the mall doesn't feel any different than here in the U.S. Haven't traveled much and will go to Russia.

The Lebanese Daher family runs Beirut-headquartered retail company Azadea, which has had a partnership with Zara in the Middle East since 1998 and works with other major global brands.

Dont forget the makeup when go to shop!!😘

9:12 I noticed that we can buy a high quality long t-shirt but the price is very high. My gf bought me a very nice Italian cotten shirt years ago. $300 Australia dollars. (18'000 RUB)

Love from sunny South Africa ❤❤❤❤❤

I meet you today in St Petersburg, you are very beautiful

It looks like what malls used to look like in the US. Amazon sucks! What I miss the most about malls is the social aspect and being able to meet lots of pretty girls... 😍😛

Wow Teleport guy was amazing 😂❤

I live in nyc and shop at H&M; not all merchandise is quality however, you could find some really nice pieces and custom jewelry; even real leather stylish booties and back in the day real leather blazers; the customers have to look 👀 and they will find; beautiful sweaters from $ 60 to $ 8 wow can’t wait until you live in USA 😊

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I have only been on the airport in Surgut back in 1990 or 1991. My colleagues in Gubkinskij used to drive there in weekends . Quite a trip but likely worth it !

Hi Svetlana, 🇱🇧 yes we have the Daher clothes brand in Lebanon, yes they are not as fashionable, rather they are more a classy timeless style , come to Lebanon, we have the best rooftop bar.

Surgut is provably wealthiest city per capita in Russia. Surgutneftegas is $10bln net revenue oil company, located here.

Hi Svetlana, it’s lovely to see you again, I think the prices of clothing and footwear are fairly similar to the west, as always you have to pay extra for quality goods, the difference I have noticed is alcohol prices which tend to be less than in the UK, I would like to know if the cost of having a car is more expensive than before the sanctions and travelling around on public transport, my most annoying thing in this country is the prices of fuel for heating and fuel for my car, it looks like you and your friend may have got your daily steps for the day by walking around the shopping centre so very well done, looking forward to seeing you again ❤

ice cream looks nice and jesus those phone prices have fun with your friends and beautiful as always 😍😍

I really hope that I will be able to meet a beautiful Christian Russian woman May God grant my petition

Looks like the shopping mall is managing quite nicely without some western brands.... You still make shopping interesting. But I thought you were going to the USA?

Love your videos. I think the Russian people are doing just fine. There have been a lot of hardships in the past but Russians are very resilient.

Surgut has a very high standard of living.People have high salaries there Not representative for Russia

Grazie.

Nice shopping with m you Svetlana

But Starbucks is owned by Indian 🇮🇳 then why it banned in Russia 🇷🇺 ❤️ form India 🇮🇳

Thank you so much for another very informative video Lady Svetlana…The prices of clothing and food in Siberia are extremely low compared to what you will find in the USA…I would say 50% to sometimes 75 % cheaper so I would suggest that you renew your wardrobe in Russia before you come to the USA. Thank you again for all you do and have a wonderful week! 💐

She said “ men’s sector “ love it !!!!

Hello from California. Zdrastvuite. Dobre utra Dobre den, Dobre vecher. Good videos, Svetlana . Happy Easter from our channel * Sally Alexandria & Alex* Australian Parakeets Stars 🎊 ❤🎉

Hi svetlana can you make video of your vissa interview in Warsaw poland 🇵🇱 what questions you been ask and how was your impression about the interview for k1 vissa

Hi thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful information and the beautiful country of Russia💐💐💐💐 congratulations wishing yous the very best in your travels and everything 😊 Migdalia 😊

How they went with Stars Coffee instead of Czarbucks is a total fail....

Very interesting. Quite expensive tbh especially considering income there. I'm curious about the cars on display there in the mall, there's so many lol. Was it always like that?

Wow, you still have snow?

Prices are high but it looks like plenty of inventory and variety. I guess to really compare, we have to know the average salaries in the area.

I am loving it !

Huge shopping centre and in Siberia, unbelievable, thinking u should get that black top,spashiba ❤❤❤

Hi Svetlana, how r u? V beautiful video. I like your video. From Pakistan 🇵🇰🌹

Amazing. I was a bit disappointed you never modeled some of that skimpy underwear. quit disappointed. Those prices are cheap compared to ours.

Love her beautiful hair😊

One thing shoppers can do to make low quality clothing last longer, is to sew / restitch all the sewn seams, which will ensure they don't come apart after a few washes. I know for a fact that more inflation is coming, but it isn't just a "your country" thing, it's global and I'm convinced it's all by design. Take care dear lady. 🤗

I wish you would go visit Bangkok…downtown, they have a mall called CENTRAL…six stories high with lots of escalators…even an APPLE store…

Blonde got lost in a shopping mall, ha ha ha, that story never gets off all over the World. Hm yes, I did notice that the "quality" of the goods is not as it use to be, same as the food portions got smaller and carry same price.But You in Siberia, so to by a T-shirt is like "CRAZY" !!! do they have specialty stores for Siberia?like for northern climate? in Canada they have special brands that makes Northern stuff for cold place, but they make T-shirts too, and they are very well made and heavy, I still have some and they are more than 15 years old and still good, these stores are not only in Canada but sells only in the North. And it looks like the prices at the mall are about the same as in the USA. TH, and yes we do have stores that are just out of INSANE about the prices, but there not in every mall and cost of shopping in them is mind blowing.....I shop there only for Christmas. TH

Gees just watched crazy Sergei shopping

I find it odd Russian cites are written in English on the shirts.

Nice report Svetlana, I know someone from Surgut, funny to see this city. The prices are extremely high for most items, while I am used to our high prices in Europe. I actually never go to large shopping centers anymore. I don't care about fashion myself and mainly buy outdoor clothing. When are you going to travel again? Good luck with your nice videos.

Svetlana ❤ please go shopping to Victorias Secret or Ann Summers if they have those in Russia 😉😍😊

Russia s/h renamed Starbucks as "Tsarbucks" and used a silhouette of Catherine the Great.

After 15 years of being employed as a Mc donald worker and building maintenance. I walk out of the store over a 40 watt light bulb. Long story. Employer was a prick and a miser. He was selling the franchise to another chain. Well for months I been asking them to buy a 40 watt light bulb. Nope they did not. It got dangerous to work in the freezer area where we needed it. It was pitch dark inside the freezer. I simply refuse to go inside the dark freezer. Words were exchange and the threat of being fired . I just walk out .

Would I be correct in concluding that clothing companies in Russia are selling lower quality goods to try and keep prices low?

Small city Surgut with 400.000 people? OK. Peace & Love to everybody.

Hello watching from the Philippines..Do u have tiktok account?Coz I saw your vids uploaded in there not sure if its your own account.

gray crop jacket, gray and white striped sweater, finished up with the gray mini skirt. i would have to see them together but what do you say!? and just for the record that was Not a horrible video it was one that i really enjoyed.

I think the mall looks clean & organized from what we see ..the prices are high considering the average wages of Russians however they are high in Canada as well but slightly more in line with the earning power ...all in all ...these sanctions have not done what they intended ..it appears Russia has has been able to circumvent the restrictions ...and underneath it all the retailers are still there as you mention the store clerk indicating even if product is unseen they can get it ...money talks everything else walks!

I can’t imagine after the oil shortage starts putting inflation down the markets

Actually there is an investigation going on in Poland because the Hong Kong enterprise that Reserved allegedly sold its Russian shopping infractructure happens to be its subsidiary underneath. So all these former Polish now rebranded brands/shops are still Polish. Good day.

Whether western brands are gone or not, it would be fair to say that younger Russian consumers still feel an afinity to western retailers and lifestyles - or putting it another way, they are unlikely to prefer Chinese retailers and lifestyles anytime soon.

Bautiful nails! 😍which nailshap is that ? Square or squoval? 💅

hi can we use credit cards (visa, master...) in Russia now?

What is the average salary of a person who would shop in this mall? That might give me a better perspective on affordability for Russians. Maybe you have that covered in another video?

Grande Svetlana, video molto bello che dimostra che la Russia non ha bisogno di nessuno i negozi sono pieni di merci tu sei stupenda come sempre anche se non hai votato Putin, ho visto il video, TVB ❤❤

I doubt this would be any interset to you, but never buy Levis. They are garbage. I've worn Wrangler for 3 years straight doing professional logging, & they are still good. (I have 2 pairs)

Nice video 😊

🥰🥰🥰

I am very curious Svetlana and I hope that you reply. Since you consider Surgut, at a population of 400,000, a small town, how did you feel when you were at the University of Kansas (28,000 students) in Manhattan, Kansas (54,000 people)? Very tiny places in comparison to St. Petersburg (around 5 million people) where you feel comfortable. I live in Sioux City, Iowa, the hometown of Kirk Hinrich who played basketball at the University of Kansas from 1999 - 2003. Kirk’s uniform number #10 was retired by the U of K in 2009. Kirk was the first-round number 7 overall NBA draft pick in 2003 and was drafted by the Chicago Bulls.

Surprised to see so many signs in English.

So many western brand garments are made in China. During the day they manufacture Levis and at night the Russian brand, same exact garment. lol
