The Russia Trip | Part 1

Hello Russian brothers from Serbia! 🇷🇺🇷🇸

I’m 59 years old and I’ve recently come to realize that I have been lied to my whole life.

ընտիր այց սպասված որպեսզի խաբված աշխարհը տեսներ իրականությունն :Կեցցեք ,ձեզ առողջություն հարգելիս🙏👍👋😍😊

If the world or people know who these Russians are, you should never hesitate to become friends with them. The fact that you have a friend, acquaintance, or partner in Russia will make you proud. Russia is home to some of the most honorable, genuine, and pure people I have ever encountered. ❤ ❤❤ I spent many years living in Russia, and all I can say is "YOU ARE THE BEST RUSSIAN" I love and I realy appreciate you ❤❤❤ Salute.. Yraaaaaaa🎉🎉🎉

This metro station is called Kievskaya, and is named after Kiev, capital of Ukraine. No one ever suggested to rename it after the war started.

Being in Moscow for just a few hours totally crushed the stereotype of Russian people. We were only there for a 4 hour layover on our way to dulles airport in Washington DC. I was carrying our 1 year old sleeping child and at the place where you put your shoes and belongings in trays to be x-rayed, I accidentally knocked over all the trays so they fell all over the floor, and a thug-looking guy came up to me, saying "it's okay, I help" and he picked up all the trays I had just knocked over. Then a few hours later at the boarding line, baby started crying and people just let us walk to the front of the line. Then after ticket checks, everybody had to take a short bus trip from the airport to the plane, and the bus had no heating or isolation at all in -20 degrees, so a lady came up, took off her scarf and wrapped our baby in it to warm him.

I'm an American. I've been through the whole Moscow Metro many times. I was in Moscow in 1992. It is beautiful, clean and the people are very well behaved. What I really liked in the Metro is the sweet woman's voice that announced every station in Russian that we were about to stop at.

I am from Spain and I lived for 5 years in Russia (I studied a physics degree in a city called Kazan. I learnt russian the first year and studied at the university the next 4, both completly for free). The people were incredibly nice. At the beginning I was afraid that given the fact that Spain is in NATO the people would be somehow hostile to me, but nevertheless I was treated so good. Their only reaction to my nationality was simple curiosity and some comments about football. The society is very conservative and respectful. You could be from any country or religion, as long as you don't breake the law and treat them with respect, they will show you respect back 100% of the times. Russians are good people, we don't need war with them, we only have to respect their values and to life in peace .

In 2005 my husband had an offer for a job in Moscow. As italians (we are from Milan), we were victims of western russofobic propaganda, but we acccepted to go, thinking that we could stay 1 or 2 years maximum. After 19 years we are still here and I have infinite love for the Russian people and this wonderful country. We feel blessed for this and my husband just got his Russian passport.❤

I spent a month in Russia, loved every minute of it! Media lies 100% about Russia ❤❤❤

Hello Russia our Slavic Brothers from Macedonia

Moscow and St. Petersburg are the most beautiful cities I've seen in my life and I've enjoyed every second in the subway, whilst in the US I did everything to avoid the subway at any cost...

Stay strong Russia. From 🇸🇪. Hope to see our hockey rivalry soon again! All the best

People, thank you for your kind words about my country🙏🙏, God bless you all with happiness, health and love

I admire russians they have a beautiful culture, history been writting by their bloods defending their country! They are friendly ppl actually, but westren medias accusing them as horrible ppl ! Salute from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 to Russia 🇷🇺

I can confirm. I was in Russia for the World Cup in 2018. It was amazing.

I moved from the UK to Russia a year ago. Main question: Would I ever move back to the UK? Answer: I can't see that happening within my lifetime, Russia is my home now.

I've been working 12years in russia i never been experience like rube people in the middle at the night. Safer comportable I' m Filipino and i'm proud living in Moscow russia.❤

I don't think Russians are bad. They defend their country, people and faith.

As an American who has traveled extensively across Europe, North America, and Latin America, my trip to Moscow last fall stands out as a highlight. The city impressed me with its cleanliness, orderliness, and efficiency. The quality of service and food was exceptional, making Moscow one of my top favorite cities. I am looking forward to revisiting again later this year. Didn’t have not one issue at passport control entering nor departing the country. Met many amazing hospitable people. 🇺🇸🇷🇺💪🏼

I'm American. I moved to Saint Petersburg 9 years ago. If you think Moscow is nice take a trip to Saint Petersburg in the summer (or winter if you like snow). It's the most beautiful city in the world! Also, my wife is a real woman, not a feminist.

Moscow is the most beautiful city I’ve ever visited and the people are so friendly

It's crazy how years ago when I saw the movie about Snowden, and learned how he accidentally got trapped in Russia forever.. I felt really bad for him & imagined a grey, run down 3rd world country, stuck in the past. But now after seeing the reality of things, & seeing Putins more conservative/Russia-first values, their rule of law. And basically how they are the polar opposite of the liberal, progressive woke govt we have rn.. It doesnt seem nearly as bad as I imagined. 😅🤷‍♂️

Bless you Tucker for opening the doors to Russia for us little people. Thank you from Idaho

It’s clean, the arts depicted on the walls are beautiful. Orderly, civilized. New York is opposite of everything we saw in Russia. Thank you Tucker for sharing.

Russia would have been in no #1 if all the talent stayed back in Russia. With so much of talent migration, It is still a beautiful independent country. It proved the fact that world can live without US.

Russia is a great country and Russians are great. I dream about visiting it once in my life.

It has not changed, since I was there more than forty years ago. Beautiful, shiny, clean and orderly. Like a gem. Thanks Tucker for reporting on it.

Their culture has not been destroyed nor apologized for. My husband has been there and would love to return, so would I.

Русские такие: "Наше обычное метро, а что такого?"

I have been in Moscow and would love to return

When this video first came out, liberals were saying “Russian subways are only nice because Russia is a totalitarian police state” yet just today I read that the NYC subways are under martial law. Uniformed soldiers are now patrolling it with machine guns and searching random citizens. Even Russia doesn’t do that.

So funny watching Americans discover there's a world outside of America

I have been to Moscow and St Petersburg 3 times in the last seven yrs but Russia is a beautiful and amazing country. I felt safer there than l did in my 45 yrs in America. Russians do not hate American's the way the media tries to tell us, it's the opposite

Im arab and live in moscow, i like everyday and every moment i spent in this city. Very clean and luxury…. Thank you mr president Putin that you care about your country ❤.

Thank you! I live in Boston and we were just announced as the most rat populated city in the US 🤣..I was born in Russian and before moving to the US I only saw rats in a zoo

Leave the subway, look at the people. Dressed and look normal. No holes in jeans, blue hair, piercing and tatoos all over, almost naked. People look like people and not freaks.

My time in russia I love the metro and public transport system. Over 300 stations in moscow, and every single one of their stations is a work of art. They were absolutely master pieces. In the summer they employee street sweepers to sweep and wash all the monuments in the city. There is little trash in the city, and people got very angry at people for littering. I found the city an absolute dream, and if Texas were ever to stop being my home. Moscow would be the place I would love to call home. Привет друзья! Если я буду переехать в Россию, я буду открывать ресторан о Техаса.

This is what you have when you spend money to build your country rather than fight wars around the world.

The feeling of pride for my USSR OVERFILLED ME ! Those were the happiest days of my lifetime!!! I’m very proud and happy that I’ve been lucky enough to be born there ! ❤️my heart is left in the USSR 💔

I have met many Russian people, most are very intelligent, cultured, and have great senses of humor.

I watched this and immediately had to show my wife. All I could say about it to her was how saddening it was to see such beauty in a public system that we don't have here

Неужели люди просыпаются. Спасибо Такер. Жму руку🤝 Я рад что дожил до этого момента. Когда грязная ложь иностранных СМИ рушится на глазах. Это бесценно. Спасибо всем за теплые отзывы о моей стране. Люди на западе удивляются тому, что для нас норма. 🇷🇺

I was in Moscow in 2014 for few days and it was amazing actually! Western media keeps saying bs - back then was this thing with “Russia food shortages” - i went in every shop was loaded with food and people were enjoying live perfectly!!! 😅

I was born in Armenia when it was part of the Soviet Union. And we were brought up with discipline and taught to have manners and respect towards each other. A huge priority was given to education. 90% of the public on the metro had a book in their hand in Moscow back in the 80's and not much has changed even with the influence of the West and the so called "freedom". An ill mannered and uncultured people were looked down upon. Elite meant to be educated and well mannered. Russians have respect for their homeland, they love their motherland and it's evident in every aspect. I was there during the May 9th parade in 2019 and thousands of people marching for hours towards the Kremlin, not a piece of trash was found on the floor during the entire march. They have etiquette and a sense of responsibility for their country. And yes, the metro stations are like museums and the people keep it as such. We can ALL learn a thing or two in the US from Russians. They are not the enemy the West would like us to believe. Thank you for bringing the world's attention to reality.

Moscow metro - the best metro I ever saw. God bless you for your activity and honesty!

I'm Russian (38 years old). 1. Metro. I was surprised by the coverage of the security issue in the story and comments under the video. Yes, it is safe in the subway and other public places in Russia. The cost of one subway ride is 58 cent. I am surprised by the comment under the video that this is not the case in the USA and other developed countries. 2. McDonald's. I will say that it took about 3-6 months to restore its operation under new brand. Sometimes i eat there, the quality and taste is same. 3. Retail. Clothing brands are gone, but we still can buy it online. The most painful thing for me is that Steam has stopped working in Russia. But my wife is even happy about it😂

I live very far from Moscow - in the Urals - and our metro is also incredibly beautiful! Thank you, Tucker, for your interest in my country🫶

My deepest apologies to the people of Russia 🇷🇺 all my life I too have been told or see thru the eyes of the Media ugly Lies….. Thank you Tucker for showing us the Real truth and thank you for your videos for us …. What a beautiful country & people

Wow. As an American… I’m embarrassed at how little respect we have for our own country and its people.

I used to come to Moscow, to that very station. There are so many beautiful metro stations and all those busy mainline stations, which have been absolutely transformed since the end of the Soviet era, like St Pancras in London, full of shops and restaurants and cafes. You saw the electric busses behind Tucker? Russia is following China’s lead in electrifying public transport.

Worked in Russia. Far from Moscow. It's fabulous! The people are friendly. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Their Subway looks as nice if not nicer than some of our museums here in America 😐

Im from Czech republic and tbh Russia is one of the most beautiful countries Ive visited. Moscow, Saint Pt. were my fav. We have been to mountains too

Also, Moscow does not have zombies, no camping in the middle of the city, no men kissing eachother, no crazy people like most big cities in the US.

I have a friend who traveled to Russia and loved the subway stations. She said each one is different and they are very beautiful.

Imagine a country where the people so love and respect it that they take care of it. Outrageous!

We (USA) look like a third world country, comparatively.

Bernard Shaw 1931 “I expected to see a Russian worker and I found a Georgian gentleman,” said Shaw following their meeting. The writer was so impressed by his trip that before leaving the USSR he said: “Tomorrow I leave this land of hope and return to our Western countries - the countries of despair.”

The Saint Petersburg train stations were stunning in a similar way. Not to mention how efficient they are. I've been asking the same question for years... When I visited Russia in 2019 I brought 1000 dollars and couldn't spend it. I stayed right in the center of the city, drank excellent wine, had the freshest and most delicious food. Saw amazing sites. And I come back home... Being told how good I have it? It's all a lie. Our country is decaying, and if we don't do something, we will lose it entirely.

I have been saying this for years. I've been called anti American by smooth brains. Check mate.

Amazing, how propaganda works. Yes, our mother Russia is not perfect, but at least as a woman I feel safe walking down the streets at nighttime, can lean on my government as a pregnant and a couple of years after delivery, can have free medical care and on and on and on. Thank god comment section shows that people still have their own opinions and can assess the situation. Love ya

Thank you, Tucker Carlson. Moscow, the capital of Russia, is a beautiful and huge city. I have only one thing to say to you Americans. Travel to Russia, it's a very interesting and beautiful country. I can confirm. Greetings from Mongolia.

I had a Russian flight instructor who grew up in Moscow. She briefly lived in new york as well. I asked her what Moscow was like. She responded: “it’s cleaner, safer, and more beautiful.” She is correct.

Welcome to our country and our capital, we are glad to see all the good friends of our country. Best regards from Russia, Moscow.

I was lucky to visit Moscow in 1981 as a teenager, and one memory is how beautiful the metro stations were.

Читая комментарии, я убеждаюсь в том, что все народы мира хотят жить в мире и дружбе.

Thank you for real journalism Mr Carlson

Was there for the 2018 world cup. Beautiful city and people. Nothing how the media portrays it.

Beautiful, clean and inviting.

WOW!! I'M TOTALLY SHOCKED.. THAT CAN'T BE RUSSIA, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

Wow…it’s breathtaking! It’s so clean and orderly. Mosaics, paintings, chandeliers, beautiful filigree work….it’s beautiful!

Even the people look nicer, dress nicer. No pants falling off the ass. Our government really sucks. Our media sucks.

Russia is such a beautiful country. Idk why Americans want to destroy this beautiful country and this civilisation. Hope peace prevails and American politicians stop hating Russia.

I'm speechless!! We expect this about their opera houses and Theatres...but the Metro !!!👀🔥🔥🔥

Omg! Those poor Russians. No filth, excrement, drug addicts, crime and a metro that looks like a palace. The public looks healthy and well dressed. The conditions are unbearable….NOT

Это было очень скромное и робкое прикосновение Такера к России,потому что он не знал,что из себя представляет эта страна. Россию можно исследовать всю жизнь и каждый раз открывать для себя что-то новое и прекрасное. Надеюсь это не последняя поездка Такера в Россию. Привет всем из Беларуси 🤗🇧🇾 Надеюсь,что когда-нибудь начнут говорить правду и о моей стране, а не будут запугивать людей "страшным диктатором" Лукашенко. Я лично через год опять пойду выбирать в президенты своего уважаемого "диктатора". Дай Бог ему крепкого здоровья

Thank you Tucker Carlson.

New Yorkers would turn that place into a garbage can/toilet in less than one day.

I'm moving to Russia next week for work, can't wait to experience a different place and people apart from my everyday surroundings.

as a Russian i can say that many cities in Russia have nice metro stations

In New York State, there’s nothing last for 70 years. If it is, it’s old and cracks everywhere. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What’s crazy is the fact that Tucker has to justify his statements every time he says something that paints Russian in a positive light to minimize the criticism he will get for pointing out these objective realities of this country. Keep telling the truth, Tucker!!!! We support you!❤

Mr. Tucker: I'm watching from Japan. Your journalistic spirit has changed the way I see the world. From now on, even if there is a lot of pressure and criticism, I will do my best without giving up.

Wow. Looks like a museum ❤.

As an American, Tucker fan, I have avoided watching this video because of the rage it makes me feel towards my own government

My God, it looks like a museum. It's gorgeous. Trump was right waaaay back in June of 2015 when describing our crumbling infrastructure and how other parts of the world were leaving us in the dust.

OMG! I am floored! How beautiful is the Moscow train and station!! Obviously, the people have so much more respect and honor for themselves, their ancestors, and their country, than we have (maybe ever), but for sure than in the last 50 years! Thank you, Tucker.

Это не самая Примечательная станция в Москве)) Посмотрите фото станции Площадь Революции, Комсомольская или Маяковская) и это далеко не все! Привет Американцам из России 🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸

I am an Orthodox Christian and a member of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), with our mother Church being the Russian Orthodox Church. My parish is St. Seraphim in Dallas, TX, which serves as the Cathedral for the Southern United States. We celebrate the Eastern Byzantine Rite, reflecting the traditions and culture of the Russian Orthodox Church. Our parish architecture and many of our parishioners have Russian roots. Through my faith and community, I have come to recognize discrepancies in how the US media portrays Russia. I believe that the narrative often pushed by Western media does not accurately reflect the reality and strengths of Russia. It is important for people to seek out diverse perspectives and understand the broader context beyond what is presented by mainstream media.

i’m 66 year old man, i got tears in my eyes, because of how sad our country has become. it’s so upsetting to watch it happen.. we have lost our country.

My motherland! Moscow is the most beautiful place!

We need more folks like you and Elon Muck, Tucker! Way to go! Hi from Saint Petersburg, Russia! Hello everybody!💌🥰

i was there in moscow and saint peterburg when our sultan visited president putin on official state visit as a media rep. i was educated in Uk and US. loughborough in UK and Christian university of journalism, texas. i can tell u this. moscow is nicer. i wish i had studied there. but becoz my scholarship is either to go UK, US and Australia. i chosen to go UK and then US. but people in east asia is beginning to go to russia to study, even of they have to pay themselves. mostly in space engineering, architecture or agriculture. like most of us here, i want my country to join BRICS.

I have been living in Moscow for the past 2 years. Prior to Moscow I had lived in Italy and Austria. I can confirm from my personal experience that Moscow is one of the best and safe cities to live…You can walk outside at 2 am without a shred of fear of being mugged. You have 24/7 working services and Very effective transportation system. 4 mins maximum and the next metro train is in. The beauty of life is you don’t need to be rich or be a higher income earner to have a good , modern apartment to live in…anyone who has visited this city would attest to this. This is the reality our media don’t tell us

I was in Moscow in 2013, and now, 11 years later, it's even better than it ever was, judging by that footage.

As a Russian man from Moscow, I hope that the times will come when Americans will come to my city and we will eat barbecue together and drink good vodka.

BTW, Kievskaya was (and is, and always will be) named after Kiev - Ukrainian capital, and there was not a single idea of renaming it ever. At 2:03 you can see a mosaic of a tractor, driven by a ukrainian guy, dressed in "vyshyvanka" (UA national style shirt, which is now one of the symbols of UA independence, all so-called UA-patriots wear it all over the world on every special date), and woman next to him also wears the same style clothes. Also everybody can scroll though the pano of that station in WWW, showing many different pictures of Soviet republic Ukraina. Anyone may check, that during Soviet times there were many local newspapers published in Ukrainian language, plenty of books, songs, etc... This is the most clear answer for all that bull**it, that "mova" (UA language) and all local symbols were strictly banned in USSR. Almost half of Soviet government were ukrainians almost all the times. As for me, Kievskaya is not the most beautiful underground station in Moscow. Google for Mayakovskaya (Grand Prize of the 1939 World's Fair), Komsomolskaya, Novoslobodskaya... But for the moment Tucker's choice is obvious. P.S. and yes, we have our fully own-built trains, air-conditioned, with nose-to-tail pass through, touch screens with plenty of info, route hints, and other valuable info, individual free USB charging slots, and yes the cost of a single ride to any destination is 0.6 Euro, and could be reduced down to 0.4 Euro, once you decide to pay with "face-pay" (requires face recognition argeement from passenger's side). All Moscow pensioners are admitted for free, having special social cards.

And that's not even the most beautiful station in Moscow, each one is unique and most importantly clean.
