я удивлена что тут мало русских комментариев Но посмотрев это видео, мне правда хочется верить, что большинство людей рассуждают так же логично и с пониманием. Я так хочу верить что большинство людей не поддерживают слепую ярость к друг другу разжигаемую пропагандой с обеих сторон

As a Russian guy, I'm really grateful for this video, that most of the people understand, that it's all about politicians and not about people. Peace and Love for everybody.

"They don't have the same kind of access to information as we in the west do"... 😂

As Russian I want to say, that most Russians thinks the same. Some thinks you're good, some thinks you're bad, some thinks that there is a problem in government, some thinks you don't know what is actually going on.

As a Russian, i’m really touched hearing positive word, because propaganda says that there is total Russia phobia abroad

Me, in Russia: Laughing pretty hard understanding those britishers really think we in Russia don't have internet.

As Russian, I will say that i love my country, i love my language, i love to be here, i'm proud to be Russian. We have the opportunity to observe all of side of this conflict, on internet, in different chanells on youtube and by speaking with people. You don't know really what is going on here, you haven't border with Ukraine, with Donbass, with Krym.

Proud of my fellow Brits for these answers.

I m so glad to hear, that almost people in UK don’t hate us

As a Russian person, I can confirm that I wrote this comment with the help of a translator 😏

Such an amazing people right there, a lot of empathy and reflections I see. People from UK seems to be very smart and kind. Wish you all good luck and much love

There are two main things to be aware of with 'polls' in Russia. 1. They do them by phone, and most of the time the caller knows exactly who they're talking to, or it's easy enough to find out. They use landlines, and people are registered at those addresses. So, a survey on any situation relating to politics is seen to likely be being carried out by the state itself, and then there is a fear of what giving a truthful answer might lead to. Even if this is a mistaken view, this is people's perception. So how many of them, do you think, are going to say they don't support the current 'special military operation' when a declaration of such a point of view can potentially land you in prison for 15 years? True, it's a phone conversation, and not a public expression, so shouldn't land you in prison, but what's people's feeling all the same? And how might the law change? And might it come back to haunt them later? And what about all those people who went to demos and were 'outed' by the authorities and lost their jobs, etc? 2. There's a huge refusal rate for these surveys, so, if you were just to assume that only half of those refusing to answer were doing so because they didn't want to have to lie that they agree, i.e. they disagree, that would mean the vast majority are against the 'special military operation'. Because that would be maybe 45% of the population, compared to the maybe 10% who actually answer. It's hard to say what the agreement level is in Russia, but a big clue is that the government feels a compulsion to ban all disagreement, to close down all opposition media, and to imprison people for public declarations of disagreement. Why would they do that if they were confident of support? They've even just jailed someone for expressing his opinion in a private phone conversation. And the judiciary doesn't even follow their own laws any more, it's just arbitrary, and the people know this. So how many open expressions of disagreement do you think you're likely to get when you phone the house of someone to carry out a government survey, and when the passport details of that person are usually registered to that address and phone number? There's also the fact that they are always done via landlines, and it's generally the older generation, more conservative, and also far more likely to be watching state propaganda, who still use landlines these days. Russian opposition folks, like Max Katz or Mikail Khodorkovsky, or the TV Rain people, or Navalny's Team, or Gary Kasparov, etc., etc., etc., generally seem to agree that there's maybe a 15-20% support for the government's actions (that being, as these people fairly point out, from people also misled and misinformed via propaganda), maybe 25-30% disagreement, and everyone between is either in denial and doesn't intend to have any opinion, or is confused and doesn't really know. Another indicator is what kind of questions you ask. If you ask 'are you for or against the President's actions?' you get one statistic, but if you ask 'would you like the war to end tomorrow?', you get another.

So heartwarming

"They drink too much" if you think this way,i can say you never visit russia.

The part about poor Russians not getting correct info...get this. Most of Russians have friends/ relatives living in Ukraine, who can tell them everything about the reality of war. But, they: 1) think their relatives are brainwashed and are lying to them, 2) just ignore them. It's my personal experience.

Бля я каждый день смотрю скай ньюз, Фокс ньюз, the guardian и тд, там также одна пропаганда и искажение информации в свою пользу как и во всех странах😂😂 моей матери 70 лет но она пользуется vpn. Челы думают что тут каждый день смотрят телек, Соловьёва и тд. В наше время без телека можно сделать выводы, я понял что в каждой стране пропаганда и ложь

thank god.. thank god this type of understanding people exists.. was feeling guilty about what’s going on for the past 2 years and was ashamed about being russian. but now I just think that country doesn’t deserve the hate that was caused because of our government. peace and love to everybody from Russia.

Since the late 18th century, the British Empire has been involved in a number of genocides, either directly or indirectly. The most notable ones include the Herero and Namaqua genocide in German South-West Africa, the Great Famine in Ireland, and the Bengal famine of 1943. In total, it is estimated that the British Empire was responsible for the deaths of over 100 million people, making it one of the deadliest empires in history..

I feel sorry for the Russian people, they just want a peaceful life like everyone else

Saw this video a few weeks back why is it being repeated😂

Dont watching tv long time,It's nice to listen to UK people who think adequately, my respect👍

From the videos I've seen from Russia, all the old people miss the old USSR. They are also the ones watching TV and not poking around on the internet. Their TV and media is controlled by the government. Do you see the link?

Russians move out of Russia and for them Russia is still #1, that's what russians are like.

Кстати за время видео я часто слышала, что люди не знают, что говорят русским насчёт причин войны. У нас это объясняют тем, что под властью Украины есть донецкая и луганская Республика И на Украине существовала террористическая организация "Бандеровцы" эта организация около 8 лет терроризировала эти республики, даже есть словосочетание "дети Донбасса", которое говорит о многочисленеых детях на Донбассе, живших 8 лет в подвалах из-за бомбежек и правительство Украины поддерживало это. И несмотря на все переговоры это продолжалось и теперь Россия останавливает этот терроризм на Украине Ещё я слышала, что была какая-то причина связанная с Украиной и НАТО, кажется это было связано с необходимостью предотвращения размещения на территории Украины вооружённых сил США и НАТО, но я не углублялась в новости. Вот из того, что говорят новости по поводу войны. Если честно я перестала пытаться разобраться, где правда, а где нет. Мой учитель по истории очень сильно верит в историю про детей Донбасса, поэтому он пошел добровольно на войну, чтобы защитить этих детей. Поэтому все это у меня вызывает смешанные чувства. Война это такая вещь, где правду ты можешь не узнать и до конца жизни. Все страны выставляют все только в таком свете в каком им выгодно. Я просто в ужасе от того, как людей насильно сгребают на эти полигоны, затыкают рот митингующим и стравливают народы друг с другом. Это ужасно. Просто рада, что я девушка и меня насильно не отправят в армию

Не понимаю откуда взялась статистика, что 70% россиян поддерживают войну? Никто не хочет воевать, никто не хочет погибать или терять своих близких. Я живу в России, и абсолютно все мои близкие, друзья, знакомые не хотят этого

0:58 bro we have all informations) About war too

Shout out to Londoners for being level headed, rational people! 🙋🏽‍♀️ Love from Brooklyn, NYC 🇺🇸

Is Daniil Orain involved in this, or is it an homage?

Such a lovely people

Asking Brits who've literally enslaved most of the world at one point isn't a great moral compass

Конечно же рандомные англичане лучше знают что думают россияне😂

I am glad the Britons of 1939-1945 thought different from Britons today - otherwise my country would have been f*****. (Denmark)

I am Russian and I have the same information that people have in the so called west. I feel sorry for the people of so called west!

6:25 I love this socialist lady, she thinks Soviet Union was democratic😂 so naive and therefore so cute

Before the first mobilization, they treat well

Before Velvet revolution in year 1988 statistic told us 90 percent of czechoslovalians support and vote for communist party. Everyone knew its not true but thats how autocratic goverment work. Newertheless one year after we had democracy and communist party had support of less than 20 percent of population. Situation in Russia is similar to that i dare to say. It doesnt really matter how fantastic numbers russian goverment presents. You can bet your hat truth is very different.

My question to the people in the video would be: "What do you think of the role your country and your personal money played in this war?" The UK is not less to blame than the US or Putin in the current situation

🇵🇭🇷🇺🇵🇭🇷🇺🇵🇭🇷🇺 we love Russia💪💪

Они сами имеют информацию только из своих СМИ, и воображают, что мы знаем о ситуации на Украине оттуда же. Забавно, люди вроде разные и по полу, и по возрасту, а у большинства как одна пластинка в голове играет - "русские политики плохие", "авторитаризм", "у нас свободная пресса", "у них нет доступа к той информации, какая есть у нас" (на этом моменте просто порвало, если честно)))) Да уж, мы бы и хотели не иметь доступа к вашим вечным "хайли лайкли", но пока ситуация, мягко говоря, обратная.

Please do a video what Russian people know about Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Actually we are not Dino so much) and we looking on different media, cause know English)

"they drink too much" meanwhile alcohol consumption by country: 5) Germany -- 12,9 11) France -- 12,3 20) UK -- 11,5 27) Russia -- 11,2 man, you are too drunk, calm down c:

Look at North and South Korea, same nation, same mentality, some history and you can see what 24/7 state propaganda can do. I am sure that polls would also show how deeply they love Kim Jong-un and everything he stands for, even the real polls

People need to study geo politics.

The biggest problem is that most of the Russian people _simply don't care_ about the systematic war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in their name! They suddenly become anti-war when they are handed mobilization papers, though! Even then most seem to think they are somehow inately better people, especially compared with their slavic neighbors.

Who is the stunning Elton John 7:54

As Russian and I agree it is difficult to say to people where I came from. It is hard even for my husband (not Russian) to introduce me to others. On one hand I feel ashamed, on other hand I never know what reaction to expect from people.

Not all Russians drink. Wtf stop with the stereotype

nice people.

"Putin's weirdo" as a russian I so agree 😭

Amusing. They think their media is telling the truth ? No media does lol.

5:45 This man knows too much about our world

I lived in Russia all my childhood and youth, no offense to Russians, but I can say for sure that the people are like their president - Putin, at least most of them.

You only asked left wing people their views so that is why this is not a true opinion.

The Brits , thinks the west media , tells them the truth .. 😂😂😂

citizens of the world 👌

Комментарий на польском английском о том, что русские террористы😂 русские не получают ту же информацию что и мы на западе, смотря это видео? Любые государственные сми вещают пропаганду в любой стране) интернет все так же открыт для прочтения информации из разных источников.

2:00, pure example of an npc right here, hopelessly lost, so many things to say here but i just cba

How naive there are lol, luckily they hadn't one border with Russia

If you listen to intercepted phone calls you see just how 'nice' they are.

почему они адекватнее русских? хочу жить в европе

Decent people, but so brainwashed!

70? lol)) greater than 80:D

Russia yes, beautiful country and culture, Putin no.

Thanks to Brittish people for understanding what is really happening inside of Russia

Respect to britain

Реально есть такие кто поддерживает войну, но их точно не 60-70%. Все боятся.

it's funny to see all these npc's in this vid who think they are being told the truth😂😂😂

Good, UK. 🇬🇧

What do you call a leader without any followers? Just a guy, taking a walk. Any time I hear this 'it's the dear leader, other Russians are blameless ' argument, I remember it's not just Putin committing war crimes in Ukraine, it's tens and hundreds of thousands of 'regular Russians'. Did they get there less informed than some other soldiers? Sure. But how they behave is up to the individuals. Murder, rape and plunder is not an easy thing to think about. It's much easier to just dismiss them as 'misinformed'. In war men become monsters.

you really put a ruzzian flag beside a ukrainian flag on a tshirt…. I don’t know what to say to you…. nice video otherwise

You may press the thumbs down. The originator will get. The orc's are on record for having no concern on even the youngest Ukrainians dying.

I get the idea behind saying cant neccisarily trust the opinion polls, but regardless some could still say what their views are of those ruzzians that support the invasion of Ukraine. Its also great that many people in the UK have had some good experiences with Russians/ruZZians, theyve got to realize Russians studying or living in the UK especially prior to the invasion arent typical Russians, just like those from any British living in the US arent typical British since like the British most Russians not move to another country or study in another country, those that do will more likely be inclined to western societal norms if theyre living in the west. For instance would these same people still think a good portion of Russians are good when 43% want to make gay and lesbian activities illegal with 20% wanting gays and lesbians exterminated. While yes 47% do want equal (at least in 2019) for lgbt people, the other half of the country doesnt. One could say this is only one issue so it can be worked around, but its likely not the only issue that thered be a clear divergence on, and after how many issues does it take to at least recognize that half the population are ruzzians who regardless of any attempts to educate, to try to open their eyes to try and give them accurate information, theyll never accept it and will refuse to change. At best one could say I like those Russians who hate Putin and recognize the war crimes being committed by their countries government & that russians had opportunities to avoid this but became complacent, while I detest those ruzzians who regardless of facts they will never accept the reality of whats occurring; that its more likely that the younger a Russian is the more likely the can see whats actually occurring while the older they are the less likely theyll admit ruzzia is committing war crimes. So based on statistics it more likely that even if a person has been brain washed by their govt, the majority (since most ruzzians arent youth) allowed that to happen by allowing themselves to become complacent. They went in front of tanks in massive protests in 1991, in 1993, in 1917 putting their lives at risk in all 3 instances, being pacifist protesters obviously isnt going to work in russia as evident by any of the protests in the 2000s, 1905 and to an extent with the Decembrists. Saying peaceful protesting doesnt work is an excuse not to put their lives on the line because its easier to say nothing and save your own hide while people in another country are having war crimes committed against them by a government that you and your fellow citizens allowed to consolidate power. Just like with the English and American Civil Wars, it sucks but sometimes you have to fight your own people and accept the risk of death otherwise at best only people in your own country will suffer if its citizens refuse to rise up, at worst your country will continue to commit acts of genocide

Uk is not a free country to express your opinions.

Slava Ukraini!

Adolf Putlier doesn't approve of this video 🤬
