Thank you for the translation. I have read all those afore mentioned comments and will definitely be dressing better this year. Thank you all for your concern.

@@BackyardRussia Настоящий сибиряк не тот кто не боится мороза, а тот кто тепло одевается.

@@user-dl7nl8td2j I will translate so that he can understand - Great sibirian man is not the one who is not afraid to freeze but the one who knows how to dress warm.

Also be sure to moisturize face, lips and hands well. I have found recently that putting part of a cotton ball in your ear canals is an excellent way to keep your ears warm. Wool socks will always keep your feet warm, even when wet.💓

@@ladyfuschia4729 Thanks for the tip on cotton in the ears. I hadn't heard that. I'm from Texas and sometimes my ears get very cold. I like ear muffs too.

Ignorance is certainly bliss

May be a prop I know people who left Russia way diff stories think about it

It depence compleet where u live. in some towns they not even have a chopping mail or store. they depend on little trucks and the food that they deliver is minimal and mostly from bad quality

it was that way in 1973 when i was there, shelves were bare in the USSR 😞

@@gringoreno it's not a prop. The Russian people already overthrew the government once. What makes you think they would put up with such bad conditions now? But to people that don't want to believe no evidence on earth would convince them besides them visiting themselves.

All rhetorics it’s for Americans, I let you on a secret, to biggest economy investing in Russia , it’s Germany and America, Russia becomes third country after Mexico and Canada to supply oil and gas to America, or and grains too, so it’s Government policy to find big country to hate, but it’s only done fore internal American market.

Ditto from Australia. ❤️🐨

Nobody in Russia watches news and doesn't interest about what happens in foreign countries

That would be nice wouldn't it 😊😊

Well, you should come to Moscow, or St. Petersburg, or Kazan, or Grozny, etc))) Or at least watch some tour videos of these. I bet you'll be amazed much more.

Amazing, isn’t it? Hey, why can’t they let US test things to see if they work?? Simple yet brilliant! Sure gives Walmart a run for its $$$!!!

@@user-bg6lk7zv9f Believe me...if I had the $$$ to travel to Moscow, I would have been back to Massachusetts by now! Actually thought of seriously looking into it! Except how do you know where to go? The place is HUGE!!!

@@immaggiethesenilegoldenret7918 Moscow and Saint Petersburg are a good start :) Aeroflot has some pretty affordable plane tickets. Its like $600 roundtrip from NYC. Getting a Russian visa can be pretty complicated though.

And this is SIBERIA, the Alaska of Russia. So you can just imagine Moscow.

I wish you to live in this country!

I think most people would get along if left alone. The problems are at the top where greed and lust for power cause wars and hate. The few make life miserable for the multitude.

Hello Friend 👋 Yes, You absolutely right, I live in Los Angeles long time and I never have seen that giants stores with huge assortment and products choose 👍 Most products in Russian grocery stores from Europe and very much quality but in US most grocery domestic and China but available from Asian Countries too ☝ Best Regards from Los Angeles 🍸

Hello, i'm from Russia and also have been to LA, and i should say than this store is unusual large, it is MEGA mall group, these stores always built in a complex with IKEA and its amount no more than 10 in the whole Russia. Other shops is quite smaller. In US everything brilliant with such stores, very good ready-to-cook stuff, salads, body care, cosmetics. Exept gmo vegetables, it looks some strange, too good, too green

but Russian earns too less than in North America

It looks like Fred Meyer

@@lynnpayne9519 My first thought was Fred Meyer!

I’m shocked at Americans’ ignorance. By any chance do you know that Novosibirsk is a very modern, beautiful and progressive city? It’s one of the biggest cities in Russia, 3rd largest city to be more precise. Siberia isn’t only primal forests, taiga and wild nature, for crying out loud. It’s the most populous city in Siberia and Asian Russia, with a population of 1,612,833 as of the 2018 census. Novosibirsk grew bigger and bigger thanks to the Trans-Siberian Railway. It’s a network of railways connecting Western Russia to the Russian Far East. It is the longest railway line in the world, with a length of over 9,289 kilometres (5,772 miles), starting from the capital Moscow, the largest city in Europe, and ending at Vladivostok, on the Pacific Ocean. Novosibirsk grew rapidly into a major transport, commercial, and industrial hub. Under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, Novosibirsk became one of the largest industrial centers of Siberia. Following the outbreak of World War II, the city hosted many factories relocated from European Russia. Novosibirsk is home to the headquarters of numerous Russian corporations, the neo-Byzantine Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, as well as the world-renowned Novosibirsk Zoo. It is served by Tolmachevo Airport, the busiest airport in Siberia.

Absolutely! I've stayed in many towns within the UK but couldn't find any good tea display in stores. I mean here un Russia we believe that tea's hometown is England and to my surprise I've discovered that we drink way more tea in comparison with the UK. Besides, it's much better quality cause we don't mix it up with milk. Mostly we prefer lemon tea, herbal ones or pure black in leaves. Tea bags are believed to be trash so that we prefer consuming tea leaves. I pick mint in my garden, dry and add the leaves to the tea pot. So that my black tea mixes up with mint flavour and smells and tastes absolutely amazing.)

@@user-mg6yi6pn3j i am Polish , and the tea selections i Poland are much better than what I can find in the west. But I think the best brand of Tea i know is a Singaporean brand , TWG . Its a real boutique of a store when you in and buy your tea.

Yeah in western europe to buy classic Ahmad tea I have to go to Indian shop🤡💩🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Russians dont drink vodka. Russians drink tea 20 times per day.

Maybe "taking the whole family on a grocery-shopping-experience" is a solely Aussie thing? Especially in such extreme weather/climatic condition! In this example, again, the entire Aussie family out "doing the grocery shop". Child abuse in my opinion.

And the shoppers are slimmer than the ones at our Walmart.☺️

You should move to Siberia I want to see you make a difference... Russia had a very rough time in the 90s they're slowly rebuilding Thank God for that looks like a lot of busy people going to work in crazy weather... and they could use your help volunteer with the roadwork if you're concerned about Siberia not having a wide enough road for you.

@@joaquinstabbington673 news flash Russia is still recovering from the 90s... not everything will be perfect especially in Siberia can you at least appreciate that the people are doing better... why so negative?

@@brianreinhardt4050 there were no 'shortages' of _anything_ necessary There was absolutely the same except for, well, no modern day tech sold, and maybe less of cheap goods from China (well, if you don't trust me, watch some Obama on CNN suggesting 7 years ago that Russia's economy is in tatters due to sanctions, bla-bla-bla and see some dire pic by a photo-guy from CNN), plus the banana from colonies which weren't there, neither colonies nor bananas

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. If you watch closely the blinkers are flashing showing that the car was running before we went out. Even in Australia I liked to do that when it's cold. Again thanks for watching and we appreciate the advice. There are so many new things to learn about living in a cold climate. 😀

except in Lidl...! that is where cashiers do it :)

@4Freedom4All Cashiers have scales so they can check the weight and also they are trained to distinguish goods. And such huge stores have tons of cameras and security.

Yes we also have the same in the Netherlands. And we also have the plugs near the lamps. And our checkout people sit down too and we pack our own bags

In the Netherlands we had the same system in the 1990's but in the last decade its changed, to weighing at the check out. To avoid fraude discussion.

@4Freedom4All it is not in all groceries like this.

I believe this is less important within modern engine oils.

@@juliansydney9819 No it is not. Your engine oil sits in the bottom of the pan on a cold start. It’s thick due to the cold. It does not circulate as well when first pumped. Even the synthetic oils get cold. Use your common sense, the rest of the car needs to heat up as well; glass, plastic, gear oil, tires are flat on the ground and need to round out. Cold is really, really hard on equipment.

Thank you. I am blessed and grateful for every day. The cold is not too bad if you dress properly. I had to fix my car in -20 outside and that wasn't super pleasant as I couldn't wear gloves for that. Thanks for watching and God bless.

😂

You lived in France you should know that eggs are not refrigerated nor the milk. I live in Fance and many things refrigerated in North America are not over here.

in contrast to France in Siberia, it is cold only outside, it is hot in the houses, so we open windows in winter to ventilate the room. We have central heating in Russia, it is a unique system in the whole world. And we do not save water, we use it as much as we like.

Dude... You ever heard of warm clothes? People use that sometimes you know.

Yeah lots of people have said that. I've heard that by law you have to be able to see the number plate/license plate clearly also the lights, at all times and that the car must be free of snow and ice. I just don't want any trouble with russian police (or police in general). I don't mind looking a bit silly if it makes someone have a bit of a laugh. 😜 thanks for watching. 🙏

Give the guy a break. Come to Northern Canada where average winter temperatures are minus 40-50 in the winter and sometimes even colder than Siberia and try clearing off the snow off of your car! Do you have block heaters in your cars? Do you plug your cars in during the winter? I thought it really weird at first, but am used to it now. Thankfully it's summer now.

A considerate and sensible driver, those drivers with windows and lights obscured, roof and wipers laden with snow and/or ice show little consideration for the safety of themselves of themselves or others and little care for their vehicle. Here you would be heading for a ticket at best or an accident and a ticket. Well done the Aussie driver.

@@ctgctg1 well about the temperature it depends on what part of Canada and what part of Siberia.. I think the coldest populated city (along with the coldest place on Earth) are in Siberia..

@@splifstar85 hi from the coldest city in the world, which is Yakutsk. You are right, geographically it is in Siberia. North-Eastern part of Siberia. Coldest inhabited place which is Oymyakon is also in Yakutia. Etenne! (means Good luck! in Yakut language)

Are your store have less variety than ours?

@@DontMansion Yes. The toilet paper section, a the aisle of pens for example. That’s far more than what’s in our stores

@@floridastitcher1 every time my parents come to visit me here in the US, they ask me to take them to a store to buy pens. Because variety and quality is better here (for the record, I live in a tiny village in the US, and they leave in a large city with a population of over one million people). So I am not sure exactly what you are talking about. Maybe in a place in the middle of nowhere with just a Walmart store or a Dollar store there is less variety. But you should realize that this code was taken in a populated and well-developed area. Any similar area in the US will have the same (or better) variety in stores. Not to mention that the sanctions (and more importantly “counter sanctions”) have definitely made situation with variety in Russian stores worse than it used to be in 2011-2013.

@@rukram8130 What do you know about sanctions? Do you still believe President Obama's words that Russia's economy is torn to shreds? The media feed you their propaganda! And in this video they show it as it is. Do you think that if there is no assortment in other stores, then people will not come to this store and leave the shelves empty? You don't have a critical point of view!

@@rukram8130 Fact is, the statian mediatrash is lying about Russia because they cannot afford that americans understand how the deep state is controlling their lives which would become apparent by comparison to Russian life. They want to keep Russia as enemy. The media is the enemy.

American media and politicians all want us to believe everyone else in the world are living in extreme poverty and stand in line for rations. It's sad really.

I believe in the more habitable areas of Rusdia many people grow their own foid and sell the excess in local markets...so supermarkets arent stocked with as much as in Siberia...nor woukd they be as big. I wish l was young enough to move to Russia...

This store is certainly more well-stocked and cleaner than my local Walmart. The produce section is always bare, all the aisles have big empty sections. Stuff is just thrown wherever, nothing is where it's supposed to be.

When he’s enter the meat distribution facility, he would weigh his truck “empty” them proceed to get filled up with meat for stores. This meant he could take on 50lbs of meat he could sell on the side. The meat that got to the stores was prevails or stolen before it would even get to the display case.

Сразу обнаружили, что в Австралии не бывали. выше 50 по Цельсию там летом бывает. Почти как в Дели в мае.

@@user-fc5be2xo8j А чему Вы удивляетесь? Огромная часть Казахстана это бывшая Сибирь, Хрущев же перенес границы РСФСР на север ради освоения целины. А в 1915-м году почти вся территория нынешних среднеазиатских республик Российской империи называлась Киргизским Краем, именно Киргизским, звучит странно, но правда. Почти никто не знает подобных фактов истории, не учили нас.

@@user-uq7nz8jd2k Что такое "асвальт" ? Сковорода, масло для приготовления яичницы?

Oh, this is propaganda! In Russia, it is very full-fledged, not without problems, of course. So medicine is free. I am now on sick leave, I was referred to a gastroenterologist on the same day, an ultrasound examination was scheduled for a week and a fibrogastoscopy 10 days later. Before that, they did a blood test for 15 indicators and an ECG. Also, I often apply for a fee, as it is inexpensive and immediately. Sick leave is paid to me 100 of my salary. Also, my relative underwent spinal cord surgery quickly and well during the month of waiting with the replacement of a vertebra with a titanium one (it did not work) and for another, several eye surgeries are free. We have a vacation of 28 days and many holidays. My mother and I have 2 months since she is a teacher, and I am a certain doctor. The decree is 3.5 years old, but only 2 of them are paid (exactly 1 year and 9 months)

You are welcome. Thanks for watching

I was thinking it looked like Minnesota where you have to scrape snow, chop ice on vehicle 😆

Here in Britain that would be regarded as a serious traffic violation, dangerous and downright stupid.

@@stephenspencer8224 here also, it's infuriating

Here in maine and was thinking..... why is he brushing his car off!!!!!😂😂😂

@@juliewilbur647 LOL

Welcome 🌿

interesting

Glad you enjoyed the vid. Russia is not like most people think. And winter is a really nice time of year of you don't stay at home inside.

I never knew a Russian and Australian accent sounded so similar...

Uhhh.... Yeah Russia !!!!!!!! Michael Phelps has a fairly thick us accent

He does kinda look like Michael Phelps but cuter than Phelps

Congrats you have a new baby on the way.

I thought it was Borat’s brother

Yeah winter here is pretty easy. Obviously hard to work outside. But it's only further north where it gets really cold

Thanks for watching. We are glad you enjoyed it

I have special memories of grocery stores I've been in in out of the way places. Some have a spirit or vibe that sets them apart.

Lol wow

Unless you work for Monsanto.

@@markberryhill2715 sour grapes

The only bad thing about GMO is that seed producer can make plants infertile, so farmers have to buy seeds from them over and over. The most fruits and vegetables you know could be considered as gene modified because they were bred by selection over centuries.

@@evilbabai7083 so due to your logic , humans are also gmo

@@x1m7ntq5w um, no, because as far as I know no one has intentionally bred certain human over generations to get a particular genetic traits in a specimen. But that's what breeders do with animals, so basically yeah, Holstein Friesians cow or Border Leicester sheep are pretty much had their genes modified in a certain way to get the required livestock and commercial value. GMO in general does the same, except it doesn't requires generations over generations to achieve the result, yet there is a possibility to insert the genes that could've otherwise naturally occur in the organism with a chance of a wandering black hole hitting the Earth, but even in worst scenario there would be no harm to human consuming GMO products (unless GMO results the product containing unwanted chemical compounds), because our digestive system is physically unable to transfer any generic material from the food into our body - when you recycle books into a fuel bricks, the information contained in them won't effect the end product in any way. In order for GMO to be safe, it should meet the general safety requirements and that's it - the danger of GMO is in how it's used, not how it's made, same as all-natural or selected/bred organisms. If you look deeper, the only difference between those instances evolution-wise is time required for certain gene to emerge.

Young folks here, especially boys dress very lightly. They can wear sneakers with short socks, sweatpants and no head cover and stay like that in -20C on a wind.

Спасибо большое )

Рассмешили вы меня.))))You made me laugh....Greetings from Moscow.))))

In the same building we also have the hardware store Leroy Merlin which is the same size as Auchan but with everything for DIY house repair. And even bigger IKEA where you can literally get lost.

It looks Exactly like Walmart in the United States.
