Thanks Captain Obvious.

Good answer. Pity Marx trotsky Lenin Stalin and co started the Russian revolution too. Russia has lost generations of freedom and scores of millions dead, and exported the poison to Europe, China and elsewhere. How utterly sad. Hey but very few Russians today are bald! That’s great!

Yes, it is sad that after thousands of years humans still have primal instincts and are territorial, possessive, aggressive struggle for power, for being the "leader of the pack". I wish one day we'll grow out of that, but odds are that we'll exterminate each other before that happens.

Nooo apparently NOT everyone have the same respect for life!

Unfortunately, as long as there are people, there will be conflicts, there will be conflicts, there will be wars.

When you solve that kind of problem, corresponding bureaucracy must be gone, so... the preferred choice now is not to solve, but rather to keep the employment :)

Sadly it will take an exorbitant amount of time for men to unlearn to not be power hungry and aggressive. It’s not a slam on males, it’s just the current state.

True....👍

Yes, that lady spoke words of wisdom! .....................

It's really odd to me, she did not look like someone born before 1940 how would she know WWII? She seemed between 70 and 80 yo how long did the war carry on in cccp?

This isn't exactly what she says. She says that when people who didn't experience war watch the war news and see people they don't have the same emotions as her. They see it on the same level as they see movies but because she has been in war she actually sees real people

@Orc Hunter you know where he lives?

thank you for not blaming them, too many people are blaming them ESPECIALLY americans. i just feel bad for russians because they get so much hate for nothing, meanwhile everyone loves all of the americans of course.

@@endlessbleeding all wars are started by governments. The people rarely have a say in the matter. As I said I know the Russians I have met to be good by all standards. Of course there is always the bad apple in the bunch to spoil things. I never blame the people but rather the governments ruling them. History has taught all of us who is to blame.

My thoughts exactly, this is why these dudes are amazing they are capturing a feeling not bullshit propaganda just reality in time...

He's so used to being a serf on his knees, he doesn't know how to live independently without Mother government changing his diapers.

He expressed the feelings of so many people of his age. 50+ generation always remembers that phrase of one of the oligarchs that "some won't fit into the market, that's ok".

@@thulekovish8188 Thank You

He is poor obviously and has a poor man's logic. To blame your nation coz you have little money is kinda stupid. Anyone, especially in Moscow, can reach the good european level of salary.

so true

He also said that the best way to deal with temptation is to give into it. So he had it all figured out, didn't he? Except that he died deep in debt, of a wasting disease, in a cheap hotel in Paris. (Last words: "Either this wallpaper goes or I go.")

So well said.

What you just wrote could describe _any_ people, so of course its spot on. And it includes "those with a narrow interest and inflated egos" - they are people, and they are people from _our_ midst...

Ahh yes, the only people I like are the "good russians" who should be subservient to the west and lead meaningless lives eating junk food , watching marvel movies and playing video games all day. Ain't happening boyo. Putin is Russia. And we'll never be "good russians" ever again.

@@stinyg Count me in as a patriotic American but I never desired Russia be subservient to any nation let alone America or the West in general. In fact, I can't understand the posture so many Russians take trying to stand outside of the West when in fact it is part of the West. Your great leaders were European and looked to the West. The blood of most of your peoples are European rooted in the Slavic peoples. Vikings set up your early ruling house. Do Russians want to harken back to the subservience under the Golden Horde? That's the future your nation will fall into as you embrace Asia. I admired Putin before his invasion of Ukraine. His criticism of the West were for the most part accurate. In some ways Russia today is much like America was in the 1950s. My hope is that the West returns to its traditional roots. And that Russians give up imperial dreams of controlling Eastern Europe. I appreciate Russian security concerns and I blame Western liberals for poking the Russian Bear instead of building a fraternal order in Europe where American blood and treasure doesn't have to be spent keeping Western Europe free of Russian meddling. Russian power and influence can grow when her peoples are free to live under a democratic regime that resembles Poland and Hungary or the Baltic states. You are so blind not to see that Ukraine's people want that. They know enough about their own history and aspirations that they don't want the polluting Russian cultural forces that produced the Holodrome and Soviet society. Putin was smart enough to say the same. Now ordinary Russians have to be smart enough to say Not In My Name. Stop the war in Ukraine. Europe, Ukraine and Russia can have a wonderful future without an Imperial Russia. And I will gladly dismiss the same Soy Boys and SJWs and all the computer games you despise (I am afraid of them actually because so many look awesome.)

My biggest regrets are having deceived, and hurt people's feelings, because of my own selfishness.

Yes. I think we lost the chance. Never occurred to me that the fall of the iron curtain was a limited time event.

You can still go. It may be a little harder now but its still possible.

I am Russian and I hope with the end of the war, you will come to us. If you want then you can contact me I will help you. I will make a tour, help with the language, money (their value)

You got this, next time you have free time read that book you always promised a family member you would...trust me it helped me.

I'm right there with you, Wonderror

@Orc Hunter Fair enough, but you gotta admit the cities are definitely something else. I'm a sucker for that mix of gritty Khrushchyovkas and grandiose Soviet architecture/urban planning. For some that would be a depressing sight; to me it feels magical. It's the perfect setting for cool subcultures and beautiful, authentic people. And yeah, Russian girls are definitely hot; so are the guys. Often, their carefree, no-bullshit outlook on life just adds to their beauty. That's something we terribly lack over here. I myself wish I could be more like that.

well, I must say that the million-plus cities are now being looked after very well. take even Nizhny Novgorod or Kazan, very well-groomed. but in general, for those who want to see the historical part, as a rule, it is advised to go along the "golden ring"

Моя учительница английского языка ходила на ее концерт, объясняя именно тем, что это "юность"

If you didn't have a specific profession you wanted to pursue then the cost of college wouldn't have been worth the "experience ". Sounds like you are doing fine so be happy.

true its about the experience

@@charlesdudek7713 I disagree with you Charles. College opened my eyes to a world of ideas and history. College introduced me to wonders in science and philosophy. I think the value to me was inestimable.

@K1lostream if it is your biggest regret maybe you can work on it and good to uni in the future ☺

@@victorlloyd5271 That's fine to disagree. Everybody takes away something different. For me it was good and I put my children through both college and grad school. We all knew what discipline we wanted to pursue and we ended up in our desired careers. There are some though who make a poor choice of a major, one which will likely end up in a dead end or low paying job. If that person had to pay for college he now has debt. I don't think college is the be all and end all for everybody. We do need people in the trades such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians and so on. Those people make decent money and in some cases are better off than SOME that attended college They shouldn't feel regret if they are doing well otherwise. We can disagree.

Thats how Russians smile

The problem isn't that they want a return to the real Soviet Union - lines, bribes, shortages, autarky, fear - but that they want to return to a mythological USSR that never existed - smiling shop owners, soldiers singing, joyous pubs, etc. I studied in the USSR (in both Moscow and Pyatigorsk) and for me it was an absolute poverty safari.

May i ask which country you are from ?

I spent only a few days travelling in East Germany during the cold winter of December 1970, and was shocked at how genuinely happy the people were that I met in social circumstances. Perhaps that is the type of memories the old guy has.

@@heekyungkim8147 Of course you may, I'm from the USA. I'm not saying I agree with the guy, I'm just saying I can agree with the melancholy he seemed to genuinely express.

You guys say that there is no information propaganda in your country (though each and every country shows only what's beneficial for their government). Your comments say otherwise. Of course the Cold War is still going on but is it a good reason to hate people? USA bombed Iraq, Yugoslavia, Somali, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Afghanistan, etc. Unfortunately, people forgot about it. But I see no reason to hate civilian population.

It has improved since 2000-2005, back then a lot of people smoked, but then Russia started promoting healthier lifestyle, you couldn’t smoke in restaurants or anywhere inside, in the streets, and slowly the number of smokers dropped significantly. I’m wondering if people are starting to smoke more again. Might be connected with Covid lockdowns and now the situation is worse because of the war. Like if you look at the number of drug overdose deaths in the US it has risen significantly in 2020. People are poorly coping with stress everywhere.

in Russia, it is often fashionable to see children who smoke and drink alcohol. And yes, of course not in the center of Moscow or a large city because he can be caught, but a fine does not often arrive for garbage, nor for that if you go out with a "no war" poster, they will stop you at the same second and tear up their poster. There is a lot of crime in the country, but they are not fighting it as they are fighting people who oppose the war

Some people ask "Do you regret things you've done, or things you didn't do." I definitely regret the first more. I feel lucky, and had more amazing experiences than anyone could hope for, so things I never did, I'm fine with that. Mostly I trust my intuition that avoids things that feel foreign to me, like drugs and alcohol, or unsafe sexual behavior. Perhaps someday I'll regret I won't have kids, but again, there seems to be plenty of kids alive in the world, and while we're dependent upon one-time fossil fuels for our civilization, I don't feel good adding more kids to our coming precipice.

similar feeling, I was looking forward to visit St.Petersburg and other towns until .....their dictator sucks people are nice

When i look at them i also see ordinary young people who just want to live and enjoy their lives, like we all want to do.

No need to decide for them what they are going to regret later. Life behind the Iron Curtain can last decades and new generations won't know what was before the war.
