“I’m not interested in politics” means “I have really well developed political opinions, but I don’t want to ruffle any feathers by talking about it publicly”

I am English and have Russian relatives through marriage. In my experience, Russian people are hospitable and friendly, and once you are in their company, they are great fun to be around. Despite current politics and troubles, we should not hold anything against Russia or its people. Blame those in power on all sides, especially (NATO AKA USA).

Excellent video, my wife and I will retire in Russia, I’m English my wife is Russian we have a flat in Voronezh and a house in muchkapskyi. I love the village life it’s so relaxing. I don’t listen to western propaganda regarding how bad Russia is because 90% of the people telling this propaganda have never been to Russia

по поводу 5:10 момента с открывашкой Такого точно нет нигде более в мире, потому что это суперкрутая экосистема "крышка-банка-закаточный ключ-открывашка" была придумана советским оружейником Макаровым, создателем ПМ (Пистолета Макарова). Первая версия была с такой же банкой, но с многоразовой массивной стеклянной крышкой, удерживаемой на месте суровой П-образной скобой из нержавеющей стали (стекло было выбрано из-за температурной стойкости, предполагалось стерилизовать в автоклаве и хранить таким образом все продукты, в том числе мясные полуфабрикаты, тушенку, например) ; система была не слишком надёжной, крышки разбивались, у банок часто страдал буртик, за который держалась скоба, герметичность была довольно условной, нужна была недюжинная сила и ловкость чтобы скобу надеть руками. На пенсии жена Макарова увлеклась огородом, и при очередной неудачной попытке законсервировать плоды тяжких приусадебных трудов Николай Фёдорович, трудоголик по темпераменту, "вскипел", снова засел за чертежи и явил миру новый вариант, с крышкой из мягкой жести, устанавливаемой закаточной машинкой оригинальной конструкции. Модернизация вышла настолько годной, что экосистема существует в неизменном виде до сих пор и заслуженно любима домохозяйками всей нашей Родины! Слава Тульским Оружейникам!

I'm from a so-called NATO country and an EU candidate since the previous millennium, and our salaries are way worse than the Russian ones. But we sanctioned Russia, so life is great 💀

The hospitality of the Russian people is amazing. Russians are very loving and cooperative. Don't worry, everything will be fine soon. Love your country, support your country no matter what the situation is

"You're not against war, you're just against Russia's war". Sam is really a very intelligent guy. Much respect for him and love his videos! 🙂

Nice video ! I'm Dutch ( Netherlands ) for me the Russians are our brothers and sisters ! Best wishes from The Netherlands 🌷🌷🌷🇳🇱❤️🇷🇺

Paul made me smile and proud. I’m Irish 🇮🇪💚🇷🇺 Bravo Russia.

I watch and enjoy Sam, Daniel, Russell, and Lars. Like me, I think they got tired of all the BS in their countries. Like them, I hope to move to Russia too. Even as a kid, I never understood all the anti-Russian rhetoric, the cold war thinking. Every movie always had the bad guys as Russian.

When the SMO started, I was so afraid, deadly afraid I tell you, I couldn't sleep because I was so worried that our братушки in Russia are going to perish without MC'Donals and Coca Cola 😰😰😰 I cried myself to sleep every night thinking of those poor people who won't be able to enjoy those obviously essential products, poor people all they have there is resources and industry and sound minded people in charge ... and not a single rainbow flag!!! Imagine the horror! Poor Russians, I hope you will get through those dark times 🙏

Сэм мог бы быть гидом для иностранцев и организовывать туристические поездки, ведь Владимир входит в золотое кольцо.

Really glad this video happened. I've been watching Sam for over a year now. I have grown to like this small town life because of his videos.

I'm from South Africa but would love to visit Russia ✍🏾💯

Oh, I didn't know that Englishman Sam from Vladimir had already received Russian citizenship ;-) I am very happy for him.

My dream holiday is a visit to Moscow, a trip on the Trans-Siberian and trekking in Altai.

Сэм прекрасно понимает что в России и почему все эти блогеры сбежали, в России была целая промышленность обсерать страну за западные деньги, введя санкции на платежи сразу стало ясно кто патриот а кто наёмник.

OMG! Sam is absolutely right. People in Russia are nice because they're nice not because they have to be nice. If they're not they're just not and that's it. You just go and find nicer people. And that jar of juice made me go AWWWW 🥲 Reminds me of my happy Soviet childhood 😊

Sam I’ve been following you and Constantine for some time now as well as, iEarlGrey Foreign Agent, Siberian Freedom, Lisa from Vladivostok and many others. I am also of the same view as you have on foreigners in Russia. I’d love to be living there. Wild Siberia is another that likes to know people. In a nutshell the West is trying to be and do what Russia used to be. Leaders need to be strong. The very reason I like and approve of Vladimir Putin. Russia would not be where it is today had Putin been a puppet of the oligarchs as Biden is. 🇷🇺 not only Russia, but the world need’s Vladimir Putin. And the likes of you and Constantine etc. Don’t let me down guys keep up the great work. Ray from Tauranga New Zealand

Outstanding video! More like this please. About smaller towns, the life in them, expats from the US and UK. Thank you. John, Usa

The ending specifically is what I’ve been saying for over 2 years. “You’re not against war, you’re against Russia” absolutely true.

Я из Владимира! Очень красивый и насыщенный историей(богатый) город!Обожаю свою родину.

Always wondered what Provincial Russia meant.. Theres no way 350,000 is a small town. Thats a medium city on the way to being a large city. I enjoyed the video the parts where Sam is trying to figure out how to bring water out of the water well hilarious. Can't believe hes been in Russia 20 years and never drank water from these things. Wishing him the best I understand times are hard. Cheers to Konstantin for bringing stories from all over the world but especially Russia.

I have been to both Russia and Ukraine. They have beautiful cities with nice places to visit. Both are beautiful people except for this situation. It's sad

Вы первый блогер, у которого я вижу такую степень непредвзятости. Есть мнение, или скорее концепция, что любой журналист так или иначе является пропагандистом по крайней мере своего мнения, какой контент он бы не публиковал. Но из всего ютуба, у вас этот момент, пожалуй, наиболее сведен к минимуму. Исходя из роликов, конечно, легко узнать какого мнения вы придерживаетесь, касаемо всего, что происходит, но вы никому никакую позицию стараетесь не внедрять. Лучший формат журналистики, как я думаю, подобен художественному произведению. Никто никого ничему не учит. Нам показывают историю, в которой есть вопрос. И он не задан под определённым углом, нацеленном на нужные выводы. Он просто есть, потому что так живут люди. Чем ближе журналистика к такому формату, тем ближе мир к осознанному и более менее объективному взгляду на мир и на людей, что в нем живут. Спасибо за ваш труд.

When russian say "я политикой не занимаюсь", it meens he is not a politician, but he has opinion on situation, if u ask him, and he can know alot about it. Casualy we dont force our view to other people.

awesome video, guys, hello from slovenia, us slavs should stick together more... fuck the politicians

Sam is a great man. “You are not against war, you are against Russian war”. Thanks for the video 😊

I went to school in Ivanovo, not far from Vladimir, from 1979-1981......used to hitchhike to Vladimir to catch the train into Moscow. Even though Brezhnev was in power and the USSR still existed, those two years were some of the best times of my life!

Thank you Real Reporter! Its so interesting the things you show us. Maybe you could ask the russian what they think about other countries, not only NATO. Like south america... am from Chile 🇨🇱 saludos!

Наш ❤ Владимир, уютный родной городок🇷🇺👍

The comments from the Russian store owners are priceless. For example "Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours but they won't let him run"...Also what Sam said about if you are against war you would leave your country because the US started a war against Iraq for no reason. This is true and I knew it was true when the war started. Seeing it happen, I asked myself what would stop the US from attacking other countries for little or no reasons using my tax dollars for weapons and "aid" to foreign countries instead of for schools and infrastructure at home. I thought it was best to leave the US so I did. Unfortunately I chose Germany thinking that with its history of WWII it would be reluctant to get involved in another war. I was wrong about that.

Sam puts out some excellent content that is non biased real life stuff about Russia and it’s people. Definitely worth subscribing to. 👍🏻

Давно смотрю ваши документы, у вас очень качественное видео и аудио, и очень интересные темы - привет из Словакии. /I have been watching your documents for a long time, you have very high-quality video and audio, and very interesting topics - greetings from Slovakia/

Я сейчас в командировке на севере и я уже заскучал по г.Владимиру.Это видео выскочило утром и как же приятно и тепло мне было на душе,посмотреть этот репортаж.❤

Happy Christmas Mother Russia, from IRELAND…..

Great Video! Real Reporter really does a great job highlighing people and places. Sam is a really nice guy, and it shows in this video and also on his own channel. It's so nice to see such posative people in Russia.

Sam is a solid guy. His videos show the heart of the Russian people.

I'll subscribe to Sam's channel. His home looks absolutely awesome! Honestly, those pushing the seemingly undying Western anti-Russia political schtick can schtick it anywhere they like, just so long they aren't schticking it in my way. People are people, and the best of us are tired of being misled. Sam seems like a cheerful and level-headed fella, bless him. Thanks, Real Reporter, for bringing his channel to my attention, and for being real. Peace.

I m so happy to see collab b/w reporter and Sam! Happy new year guys!

Thanks a lot for the story! You make your videos hearty and sincere, and it's a key to a great gocumentary. Drinking juice from the jar was something absolutely awesome! So Russian, so provincial, so 'old-school' and nostalgic 👍Was so glad to see Sam and Paul) I'm subscribed to Sam's channel, I saw Paul at another channel, and It's great to see them again here) Good luck with your coaching, it's very serious and time-consuming work!

I love the way Russia has not even batted an eyelash with the American companies and made there way through 😊. Please me greatly

You were great Sam. Very interesting video. It brings up lots of good points about Russia.

I would love to visit Russia one day❤🇷🇺🇿🇦

Bravo Russia and its people 🎉❤

I visited St. Petersburg years ago. Very nice experience and only warm an welcoming people..... politics is one thing the ordinary people are something totally different. To this day I stay in contact with some of the people I met.

Wonderful work ❤ I hope one day I can visit Russia a beautiful country.

Дай Бог Победы! Слава России!С любовью из Польшы PL❤RU Вечная и светлая память о Героях России , навсегда останется с нами. Низкий поклон, вам дорогие.

Great vid! :) As a Muscovite I love the stories about the small towns of Russia. They look so cozy compared to the capital cities. Got bored with the random dudes in the comments writing long-reads about how not free and oppressed I am as a Russian citizen though. Lol

So wanna visit Mother Russia

Great work as usual, Constantine. I have to admit I laughed out loud when the shop owner compared our Joe Biden to your Boris Yeltsin.

Как всегда хороший репортаж) удивительно, что со временем вы нашли всех иностранцев, которых я смотрела до ваших видео. Про австралийскую семью, конечно, вам надо снять отдельный репортаж

Я одна из тех, кто смотрит видео Сэма постоянно! Про такого человека как Сэм в Англии бы сказали «a remarkable man” потому, что он очень добрый, приятный,искренне общается с людьми, помогает бабушке (совершенно незнакомому человеку кстати) и вообще, живет по совести. Таких людей сейчас крайне мало в любой стране )) Сэм, процветания и здоровья вам!❤

Россия 1000 лет жила без Кока-Колы и еще столько же проживет, и все будет хорошо. Если Запад хотел наказать Россию изъятием кока-колы, то все усилия напрасны)))

It is so refreshing to see real reporting about Russian people. I can't wait till I am able to visit. Maybe I will find a way to go fishing with Daniel.

I'd love to see Russia. It's remarkable.

US- Cost of living through the roof with 0 sanction Russia- Cost of living affordable with sanctions up to the neck

I am very impressed with the quality of the video. Its content doesn't surprise me, but the work done does. Also, I'm glad that we can calmly discuss politics with foreigners in the comments, learn their perspective. I hope I won't get banned here or end up in jail! 😄

I’ve been studying Russia for years now and so much would like to travel around the country for awhile to experience the country and people in person.

I just watch that video 2 hrs ago... The guys from Australia... ®️🇷🇺

I am glad to see you do an interview with Sam. He is a great guy. And I consider him a good friend.

Thank you Very warming up. With love from Canada.

I think you should give your business card with RU-vid channel name to each person you interview on the streets and in the stores, so they will know your channel, they will see themselves on RU-vid and you will get more subscribers :)

1:22 I live off a below average Russian salary… in an actual small Russian town in Siberia. Life is good 🤣🙏🏻

Brilliant video. 👍 I'm Sam's channel subscriber as well as yours 🙂. He's such a down to earth guy. Thanks for interviewing him ❤️ ❤❤. He just speaks common sense and puts it in simple words so anybody can understand. Brilliant content from both of you, I'm enjoying your videos, god bless ❤❤❤❤

I love Sam's channel, he is one of the kindest, most genuine person around!

Sam looks like a very nice guy

great video, make a video about an Australian family who live in Altai !!!

Интересно) С вашим мнением полностью согласен и по поводу войны, санкций, уровня жизни. У нас в России к сожалению многие не любят учиться или работать, впрочем наверное как и везде. Но плохо то что эти люди не понимают почему они живут не очень хорошо. В России можно добиться успеха и богатства, я и мои друзья так же были обычными студентами без денег и сейчас уже все профессионалы, директоры и все при деньгах

Loving your excellent documentary journalism...truth and art at its finest

Good old freedom of speech vs freedom of after speech

Love the sincerity and honesty of your video, real people, living in a real village. In the last 70 years, Russia invaded 2 countries. In the last 70 years US and EU attacked, bombed, or invaded 52 countries. And financed multiple coup and assassination's of dully democratically elected officials, leaders, ministers, and judges. I wonder who's on the side of peace. LOL NATO brought back Lybia, Syria, Lebanon, Grenada, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela to the stone ages. Invaded the poor Grenada 3 times, killed on millions people in Indonesia in a CIA/US financed revolution.

The problem with freedom of speech in Australia (much of the west) is that whether you protest or run as a third party or independent candidate in election, you will not get publicity. And if you do get publicity it will portray and slander you as some sort of freak or trouble maker. Aside from that there are many lobby groups, and methods of co-opting decision makers.

Ppl of Vladimir seem friendly, politically sound & have 'nation first' attitude. Thanks to perspective shared by immigrants, now residents of Vladimir, on effect of sanctions on Russian economy. Best Regds

Никакой разницы между колами, ребят, не обманывайте себя 😂

Great video and best regards to Sam ! Smart and free will people like him never will let them led like sheep by mainstream media and this video prove it ! Cheers guys !

Great reporting. As for sanctions where it affects the Russian way of life. It seems that they adapt to a new budget and live within their means. That is a plus in my opinion. Too many in the USA live beyond their means and put alot of purchases on credit. That spells disaster. He seems happy to be living in Russia and thats all that matters. 😊

Добро пожаловать в нашу страну всех адекватных, здравомыслящих и хороших людей. Мы всем вам рады и примем как хороших друзей🤝

such a beautiful country

I love the different perspective that your channel gives. Who knows what's propaganda and what's not. I'm thankful I'm able to see the different sides to the complex stories.

Another great insightful video💚✌

Thank you very much for your video, it's really truthful and realistic . Best wishes.

Nice video! Sam rocks! Thanks for sharing your presentation here.

I wish I moved to Russia a long time ago , I'm ex pat Brit family moved to New Zealand in 1974 I always liked Russia 🇷🇺 especially now that Vladimir Putin is in control he is the best President in the world of our time. Russia is on the Right side of HISTORY and morality, stay strong Russia 🇷🇺 Love you ❤😊

Great content. All so true. Thanks!

Awesome....thank you for this gem of a video ❤

Another great video. Sam’s a stand up guy! We need more free thinkers like Sam, and less hypocrites. Thank you for all you do, both of you!

Желаю Сэму закончить строительство своего дома !

Thank you for creating this video. 😊 I grew-up in rural small town America so I can relate to small town life or culture. I enjoy learning about other societies or cultures around the world like Russia too.

Absolutely fascinating I was already following this guy and this video made me get to know him that much more good work real reporter!

I greatly enjoyed your video, thank you.

Excellent documentary, thanks.

Your content is aways excellent.

Love your channel, brother. Greetings from Sweden.

Blimey! Thanks Sam. Love it!

Я сам был в шоке от Владимира. Сколько раз проезжал мимо на поезде и видел серую изнанку. А тут заехал на машине с другой стороны - совершенно другой город! "Водонапорная башня" в начале туристической улицы - всем рекомендую. И пиццерию с чугунным мальчиком у крыльца

Small town with 350 thousand people. :) It's like Belfast or Coventry, and I'd like to know anyone calling them "small towns". :)

Aaaa! Our Sam is in here😊! Sam, great video and you are as charming and kind as always ❤
