Russians in Serbia | ARTE.tv Documentary 

IF you say that Serbia started war in own country (It was responding to KLA who were armed by west and making constant terrorist attack,my friends who were just 16 year old were killed by KLA roadside bomb) then you can also say that Ukraine started a war. You have always double standards based on your own interest and then twist a story how suits you.

14:33 How is a war in Kosovo fratricidal war? It is in a sense that all of us as humans are brothers but Albanians and Serbians not only aren't the same nation but we are not even in the same ethnolinguistic group. Also it's arguable that Milosevic started the Kosovo war, it's very easy to argue that he didn't because KLA started their terrorist attacks at Serbian police and civilian population long before 1996...

classic French propaganda ..half of the translation from Serbian to English is incorrect or the translation is missing ..perfectly to distort what was said

How's NATO business going these days?

Our country is a safe place for everyone, Ukranians and Russian and they are free to express their opinnions here, no one will harm them, i hope the war stops soon

Trying to change the attitude of people in Serbia is not only impossible, but also totally pointless.

Actually those guys at 1:33 are saying "your tagging signs like kids", none of them even attacked them for doing that which show they are not pro-putin just common sense Serbs watching it from cafe. If pro-Putin Serb saw that they would be beaten.

The guy in the beginning of the video was saying ''You are over 50 (years) and you use spray. Are you not ashamed?'' Nobody mentioned Putin.

We do not support Russia because we have “similar” culture. We are both Slavs and Orthodox Christian but there are many other reasons that you guys should explain as good journalists. We are Balkan South Slavs and much different then Russians but still that doesn’t change that we love them.

As a someone from Serbia who travelled both to Russia and almost all EU I have couple of things to write. First to all Russians who comes here and are doing their "revolutionary work" you will not change mind of local Serbs by drawing Ukrainian flags around the city neither you will change outcome of the war here, you may do it but in Moscow. When I travel I never tried to "teach a lesions" to locals despite me having a diametral point of view from theirs. I said this openly to all of my Russian friends in Belgrade and they can like it or not those are the facts. Secondly this guy with a Z t-shirt.. Bro why you are not going directly to the frontlines and show that you stand to what you are writing in a book? I much more admire those who went to the frontlines voluntarily from those "parade patriots" on both sides, neither is Russia fighting for Serbia in Ukraine right now neither Russia was fighting for Serbia when it was needed the most (excluding WW1 but that is totally different topic). I am ready to give direct historical proof on this and I know that you are reading so feel free to challenge me. Unfortunately Serbia today is country occupied by both East and West, it is country without its own word (like all Balkans anyway). Being a true Serb in Serbia today will soon become a second class citizenship while priority is given to fake "liberals" and fake "patriots" with deep influence from the outside and mass import of foreigners.

Ask him who does Crimea belong to. See if he instantly says Ukraine without hesitation.

all in gulag..Serbia accepted all Ukrainians, Russians, and Belarusians to live in Serbia, but this is disrespecting the state, talking on the street, protesting, Serbia remembers its history with the French, then the community,nato bombed us, and then they complain that their visas were not extended.

Seeing French tv doing an interview with Russians in Serbia supporting Ukraine is enough for me. We will always support Russia, in war or peace, doesn't matter. Also, nice try to present Serbia as a bad guy but thats what you French fries always do. Easily forgot about the past when Serbs and French people fought together

Don't write on the walls of my city. Both sides to calm down, don't bring your problems to my house

How did we start the war when Albanians wanted to secede from Serbia by starting an armed uprising since late 1996? I don't see them saying Ukraine started the war.

West lost one of its greatest allies when they bombed serbia in 1999!!!

This flick is way bellow Arte standards, people and events shown in this documentary are completely out of date. These events occured a year and a half ago and do not correspond to modern times at all... Litteraly, at a day of releasing of this video, in a streets of Belgrade happened pro-Ukraine gathering, followed by protest of right-wingers with some russian flags... For Serbs, freedoom is the name of the game, you can think and speak whatever you want, sometimes you can even block bridge and highway, and not a single punch will be given that day, not a spark of police brutallity... This movie is so out of touch, that some main protagonists seen here, dont live in Serbia for a long, long time, due to visa cancelation because of their political activities, excluding Putin and Z signs... Guys simply engaged in some local political agenda, provoking mayority of population, and they did all that exclusively for the sake of some NGO grants and to obtain a longterm visa/asylum in an EU country (read Germany/France/Scandinavia). You have a tens of thousand of well educated, polite, modern, liberal and hard working anti Putin Russians in serbian cities, who are living their lives in freedoom and safety, but Arte crew are too lazzy to explore and give us that angle... it's easier to recycle some year and a half old footages and to repeat stereotypes about the Serbs from the end of XX century and wars in ex-Yugoslavia... Lame, very lame...

Dezerteri sto nagore posredno podrzavaju naciste

Kao stari titl majstor, uvijek se sjetim onog potpisa koji je počinjao sa "Preveo i prilagodio" a završavao sa imenom prevodioca, međutim, ovaj francuski prevodilac je više "prilagodio" nego što je prevodio - klasična zapadna sloboda medija... Edit: Hoću i ovo da pomenem, dobrodošli su i Rusi, i Ukrajinci, i Bjelorusi, I Kinezi, bez obzira na njihove lične stavove prema ratu koji im uništava živote. Što se mene tiče, ako imamo dvojezične table, sa natpisima na srpskom i engleskom jeziku - možemo dodati i ruski jezik. Neka su živi i zdravi, neka dođu u miru i žive sa nama u miru.

Only you leave Serbs and Serbia alone. You have so many problems in France.Take care of your country. De Gaulle woud be ashamed considering what kind of politics you are promoting in a World. Learn the history!

Some people here in Serbia support Russia because they see the war in Ukraine as war against NATO, not against Ukraine itself, that is why they support it, they also haven't seen the war crimes that some Russian units committed, or how corrupt Putin is. Also, you've shown the wrong map of Serbia, Kosovo is part of Serbia by the international law, this is one of the other reason why some Serbs support Putin, because the west has double standards, they're preaching international law in Ukraine, but they're ignoring it here by supporting "Kosovo".

Čime se ova braća bave ahahaha Došli u Srbiju da precrtavaju slovo Z po banderama

Why not move to Ukraine?

Kosovo is Serbia, map is wrong.

Budala ,od tolikoh Rusa on nam je došao😂

Kosovo is Serbia, Your map is wrong!! Correct that Arte!

Xaxaxaxaaxa doso u Beograd o meni da prica sta cu ja da prodajem. Mrs xaxaxaxa

Blah, when was this filmed? 🤪 AFAIR, this man was forbidden to enter Serbia, since july last year.

Ziveo Putin🇷🇺🤎🇷🇺

19:44 I can understand various views on politics, politicians different wars or whatever, but a person to say that they cut off their parents from their lives like a burden because they have a political disagreement is mind boggling... That, to me, tells all I need to know about that person...

Every western countries are full,like everywhere Ukrainian flags. Who give you rights to come to Serbia and remove Z. Serbian people has rights to choose the side. We love Russia, we love Putina. We love Ukrainian people also. Here in Canada more and more people are turning towards Russia like every day. Specially since Trudeau had in part ex SS Nazi. Finally Canadian figured out that many Ukrainian supporting Nazi, Bandera..

So sad to see how normal people's life get ruined just because of crazy politicians.

this is an old video and not a good one

24.4.1999. AGRESORI

Serbian guy selling his book and Russian guy finding a way to Germany.

We have many Russians in Bulgaria too now. We feel like brothers BUT Bulgarian society is not consistent in supporting Putin. I believe more than half are agains Putin but the few that support Putin are louder in the social media, however humanitarian visas has been issued to some Russians too so , Russians are welcome with Ukrainians and everyone who is against Putin

Bravo, amis serbes! !uttons contra le fascisme ukrainien!!

Я с Петербурга,пусть этот журналюга попытается такое вытворить у меня - он потеряет здоровье

Interesting documentation.

From an outsider looking in, I think that needlessly rubbing salt in wounds is disrespectful. My opinion.

as a Canadian who has been to serbia , serbia is a beautiful place with friendly people and you can find people from anyplace in the world , they are just good people who are trying to do the right thing , their gov does a great balancing act between the west and everyone else . And puts their people first unlike the rest of the worlds leaders. but yes focus on Russia and Ukraine capital of child trafficking .

Western Propaganda losing

Any chance of you investing in an English dubber like most none English channels like DW Documentaries, keeping up with subtitles is not easy and disorientating.

Do you know, Arte. In Serbia are a group of french people, too in a village.

srbi nisu izazvali rat i zao nam je nevino stradalih ukrainaca ali ovaj rat je zahvaljujuci natou a putin je bio primoran na to ocigledno ,zasto samo amnerika da pokazuje silu kada je i rusija ima

If they are against Putin how come you Western Europeans don't take them? Instead they are forced to exile to places like Serbia.

The brothers speak in english😂

you do not have to become PhD to comprehend wars ambitions of USA regime of imperialism, the regime addicted to wars. just asked the people of Serbia etc. about USA regime

This is bullshit. The guzs at the beginning of program were objecting that he was sprazing and damaging property. it is clear from what they said.

Good documentary Arte! 👏🏻

Milan is a very interesting an generous person.

❤🇷🇺🇵🇸❤

URAAAAA. KAZE BEOGRAD?!!

French propaganda, hello Brice Taton 😂

How can you be an academic pursuing a Ph.D and be for political repression and brutality is beyond me. Granted - US imperialism is horrible. But that doesn't justify Russian crimes in Ukraine and against her own people. Academics in itself is in a mess. Intelligent thinking is as rare as it was during the 1500's.

Russians in Serbia against Putin are courageous.. support from TX.

ДОБРО ПОЖАЛОВАТЬ В СЕРБИЮ ВЛАДИМИР. Не рисуйте на флагах украинские флаги, пожалуйста. Потому что в Сербии много людей, которые поклоняются Путину. Я его не обожаю, но и не ненавижу. Дело в том, что Путин вытащил Россию из грязи. Когда Путин пришел к власти, Россия разваливалась, но в буквальном смысле. Среди бела дня часто появлялись преступники с фантомами. в табачный киоск и забрать деньги. Люди массово бежали, в основном в Америку, Германию, Монако и на побережье Франции. ВВП или валовой внутренний продукт составлял 1200 долларов на душу населения. Именно столько имеют сегодня в Мали или Бурунди, в Африке. Беднейшие страны Африки. За 10 лет правления Путина ВВП увеличился более чем в 10 раз. Она выросла до 20 000 долларов. А это значит, что качество жизни граждан заметно улучшилось, несколько. В настоящее время он составляет 35 000 долларов на душу населения. Путин резко сократил коррупцию по сравнению с началом своего правления. Но высокий уровень коррупции остался и не только не снижается, оно уже постепенно растет. Путин окружил себя коррумпированными людьми. Все губернаторы округов коррумпированы. Большое количество министров, секретарей... Это самый большой недостаток правления Путина. Война с Украиной началась в 2014 году, а не 2 года назад. Война была неизбежна. Путин решил провести его на территории Украины, а не на территории России. Пожалуйста. Если у вас есть необходимость заняться активизмом. Вы можете сделать прямую трансляцию в социальных сетях или аналогично. Не подвергайте себя слишком сильному воздействию на улицах, потому что там есть сумасшедшие, готовые драться, часто с помощью металлических прутьев. Вам это не нужно. Вы сами знаете, что в Сербии рады всем русским. Независимо от политических убеждений. Однако. Повсюду есть те, кто одержим какой-то идеологией или личностью и готов из-за этого нанести серьёзные телесные повреждения, а может быть, даже неосознанно убить. В Сербии вам на 3000% рады и вы в безопасности, просто не делайте публично того, что может спровоцировать этих людей. Другие примут вас такими, какие вы есть, с той идеологией и образом мышления, которые у вас есть.

minority is not majority

Russia is under attack “for being Orthodox”? Where do they get these stories?

🤣🤣🤣

Very interesting documentary. We almost never hear of the Russian dissidents fleeing to Serbia. Usually it's Central Asian countries or Georgia. In my opinion, the main reason for such a small number of Russians in Serbia, compared to Georgia or Uzbekistan for example, besides the fact that nobody speaks Russian in Serbia, is its bad reputation as basically a Russian puppet state. I don't think that's really the case tho, at least when it comes to my experience from visiting Serbia last year and talking to folks there. It would appear that these christian nationalists are in reality a tiny minority. When it comes to Serbia's general political attitude towards Russia, it is positive but only at the level of sentiment. Otherwise that country is led by a typical realpolitik mindset and its own interests, which more often than not match with the EU interests. At the very least, Serbian leadership's behaviour in foreign politics is rational, thus we can talk to them, cooperate with them and it is indeed what we're doing. In my view, Hungary is a much bigger problem with its dilettante behavior.

I have asked couple of Serbian Putin supporters why they support Putin, and they answered something about pan-slavic brotherhood. But the Ukrainians are Slavic too, so why are they not considered brothers?

Ne treb.te nam vi ,sa v.šom takozvanom t.l.vizijom.

RuZZians and Zerbs. 😂

Well done ARTE.tv ,👏

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

FSB and DB watching ...👀🖥📝😎😂😂😂

Lets be honest here, we need to put some humanity glasses on this situation. These people are in a state of Limbo between Russia and the west, They escaped Russia and Europe denies them. Its a very difficult situation for these people, but it seems that Russians do find loopholes to have a EU Visa. I think Europe may have to relaxing their policy on allowing Russian refugee's EU Visa's and settlement in Europe. Only for those that are fleeing Russia and letting them integrate into Europe.. In order to change the game of the war, you need people to support you from the opposite side so that changes happen much faster. As Serbia are considered?, Europe should stop any investment immediately for Serbia. Serbia's stupid balancing games has costed Europe more money then Serbia actually working towards Europe. If it means that Balkan countries except for Serbia can have EU membership then i'm all for it..

False framing.

There is no place for Serbia in EU

Russian nest 🇷🇸🪺
