[Ozark-nquu]

As a veteran of the US Army and the Iraq war, you are definitely not a traitor. You inspire me to come visit Russia myself.

[StanisławKarbowski]

Я поляк. Мои предки попали в Россию через войны с Российской империей. Попавший в плен и арестованы были сысланы в Сибирь. Но русский народ не отнешься к нам плохо. Помог приспособиться и выжить. Это когда чужой становится своим. Вся Сибирь состоит из разных народов. Русских, немцев, украинцев, поляков, евреев, тюрских народов, китайцев, корейцев. Короче всех не пересчесть. Но они все едины. Как и вся Россия. Своих не бросаем.

Вот никак не ожидал, что американец мексиканского происхождения так доступно мне, русскому, объяснит почему я люблю Россию. Спасибо тебе, брат!

Дэн, ты хороший человек, будь счастлив в России с Ксенией.Я афганская пуштунка и ты воевал в моей стране, Я выросла в Кабуле.Держись солдат, тебе помогут в России, там блестящие врачи, они помогали нам афганцем.Эти совецкие люди много доя нас сделали, строили, дороги, фабрики, школы, больницы.Очень люблю советских людей.Удачи солдат, Аллах велик!❤

Daniel, I'm with you, Bro. Maybe it's this whole world, but I am so over it. I used to be patriotic, but that has faded. I see all the evil our government does and how far it has strayed from tradition values. Yes, I have always been infatuated with Russia, but that has not changed my view of the US. I see Russia as one of the last places left where they still hold onto the values I do. In a few more years, I'm taking an early retirement and leaving the US.

I am from ukraine, i am living in ukraine now, but i am dreaming about Russia, not like country to live, but like Religion, Ideas, People, Nature, Siberia, Something that acts like challenge for me, that calls me and asking: "Do you want to become real man, to achieve something strong in Spirit and live life like a human"? I cant describe all my feelings on. There are things that like magnet to my soul.

Just like you, I’m a former US Marine and my parents where immigrants (Colombian to be exact). I married a Russian and have also loved abroad for years. I’ll be going to a former Soviet Republic for a year in the next two weeks. Many of my good friends today are Russian. For some reason I tend to get a long great with Russians because I find them to be very sincere and honest when you get to know them. Obviously every culture will have its bad apples but to be honest, I’ve never had any problems with Russia and I don’t consider Russia to be a natural enemy of ours. I think we do share much in common but I will say that I can appreciate the Russian soul. Also, I will say that in many regards the American Dream is dead. We are not the country we used to be. Sure, we can debate on why this is the case but I think for many people, they are realizing that we are living in a bubble that will pop at any moment. I don’t consider you a traitor at all. I think you are a patriot and one who has done his share for the US and now is trying to give something back to Russia. Just like you, I too might leave the US, not because I hate the US or because I’m a “traitor”. It’s because I don’t like what our country is becoming and I want to go where I’ll be happier.

До слез братуха. А это значит, что русская душа породнила нас. Мы её дети. Мы говорим на одном языке. Счастья и мира вам с Ксенией!

I’m an entrepreneur in America and I’m sick of paying taxes to our evil government.

[maxchel]

Россия стоит того, что бы там жить и растить детей. Я буду рад, если ты станешь нашим гражданином. Мне нравится твои рассуждения. Я уважаю тебя. Искренность твоих слов меня впечатляет. Пусть Россия даст тебе силы. И здоровье будет крепким.

As a Canadian, former infantry rifleman (never deployed), I can honestly say that I don't see you as a traitor, or anything of the sort. My mother was an American, my dad Canadian I care very much for both countries. At 70 I can say, our countries turned on us. They work tirelessly to subvert our freedom, to keep us under their thumb. I respect President Putin far more than any of our leaders here in the west. I wish you the all the best. Keep the ethos of the Core, "Always Faithful".

[alexm]

As a Russian, I think it will be an honor for us to have you as a compatriot.

[yourgopnikcomrade]

You are in your element in Russia, Dan.
You are a very inspirational person and Russia allowed that talent of yours to flourish. Now you are a positive presence in the lives of thousands of people around the world.

This is so weird, because while I was doing tourism in Russia - I felt like I was finally home. I do not speak their language, nor do I understand their culture and I hate winter by all means. Yet, I somehow felt home, it was a very emotional feeling for me - because despite living in US and being born in South America. I just could not understand why I felt this emotion inside of me, my only resolved so far is that in a previous life I was a Russian soldier. I do not really believe in reincarnation but I just can not understand the emotion I had while in Saransk. I do not think you betrayed US, if anything the system has failed you, therefore the country has failed you. When I was 20 I nearly joined the Air Force, if it wasn't that they asked me to acquired a paper from my college and my counselor was a US Army veteran from Vietnam who persuaded me to not join. He also felt like the country has failed him and apparently not much has been done to remedy that.

As an American 20-year Navy veteran living in Barnaul, Russia (5 years next month), I greatly enjoy and appreciate your videos. In this particular video I actually learned something that I've been trying to understand about the Russian soul. My wife is a senior doctor who is very serious in her profession, yet earns the equivalent of only $350 per month. I am also severely disabled and so I deal with a lot of other doctors, as well. It always amazes me how dedicated they are while earning so little! Your explanation of the Russian soul put it all into perspective for me and I thank you. They are not at all motivated by material wealth or prestige but by honor to their families, their colleagues, their God and their country. I love this about the Russian people. Every day that I can get out, I see case after case of strangers helping each other without waiting for thanks. It's happened to me many, many times, in fact. Most recently, I fell while walking my dog and a young, very petite lady helped me to my feet, then disappeared before I could thank her properly. Thanks again for your work, and tell me how I might be able to help you keep it going.

Вот и думаю. В России нет никакой мечты получить высшее образование. Это не проблема, а всего лишь личный выбор. И для этого не нужно как-то напрягать родителей, это можно сделать самостоятельно, как я и мои сестра и брат. Есть бюджетные места, есть заочное образование. Да и жизнь студентов гораздо дешевле, чем в Америке.

[kalpetkoff]

Daniel, you aren't a traitor. You're a hero by any definition. Embrace Russia, Russia already embraced you. Success is ahead of you and your future family. You're a fighter with a great soul.

[motorbikemadness]

You are definitley NOT a traitor. I have also lost the dream of being here in the U.S. I am planning to come to Russia on a work visa (welder). I have thought about Russia ever since I was in high school (1985). I am half Slavic (Polish) so maybe that is the reason Russia calls me. I wish you well Daniel. I hope we see you back in Russia soon.

[Лораброн]

Ты такой искренний и настоящий, что слушая тебя, у меня слезы на глазах. Ты познал истину, парень. Хорошо, когда у тебя есть дом, где тебя всегда любят и ждут, накрыт стол и веселятся твои дети. Где бы он ни был, в Сибири, или в Австралии, или в Мексике. Счастья и благоденствия тебе и твоей семье! Добро пожаловать в Россию!
