Why I Moved to Russia 🇷🇺

As I look at the news reporting the chaos in the U.K. I reflect on my reasons for leaving to come to Moscow for a better life.

There are many reasons but here I will detail my top 5.

The UK is a dystopian nightmare nowadays. Cost of living is rising everyday, crime is rampant, the streets are full of homeless drunks and the knife crime is out of control at times. Some of the prices for train tickets from London to another city could buy a plane ticket to Spain or France. I envy you mate. Wish I could move to Russia. It's so clean & organised not to mention that there's no thuggery on the streets.

We are on the same downward spiral in the U.S. What I appreciate about Russia are the traditional values and the patriotism….

In 1938 at the Swiss publishing house "Vita Nova" was published the book, the work of the German philosopher Walter Shubart "Europa und die Seele des Ostens"/ «Europe and the Soul of the East», dedicated to the origins of the confrontation of civilizations of Europe as the West and Russia as the East. The book broke stereotypes of Western worldview. “Russia has proved to all mankind the inconsistency of the godless culture ... and, suffering for all, is purified itself from the alien that has suffocated it for centuries... Now begins the second act of drama. The road for the awakened forces of the East...”.
The European is drawn to specialization. The Russian - to holistic contemplation. The European is a dismembering analyst. The Russian is an all-reconciling synthetic. He does not seek to know more, but to understand the connection of things, to grasp the essence. The Russian is as capable as anyone - to merge poetry, science and religion; and in this - the future is behind him, and himself - the man of the future.
Walter Shubart proclaims the salvation of Europe by Russia and the “birth of Western-Eastern world culture». Shubart’s book is a fascinating essay about the national characters of the world’s leading peoples. Although the main thing for the author is the forthcoming transformation of mankind and the saving mission of the «healing Russian soul”.
“The Englishman looks at the world as his own enterprise, the Frenchman - as a salon, the German - as a barracks. The Russian looks at the surrounding world as the Divine Temple. The Englishman craves prey, the Frenchman for glory, the German for power, the Russian for sacrifice. For the Russian life is a sacrifice, a life of conscience... People have forgotten that life is a sacrifice, a submission of oneself or one’s ego higher purpose, cause or principle.
An Englishman wants to profit from his neighbor, a Frenchman wants to impress his neighbor, a German wants to command his neighbor, and a Russian wants nothing from him. He does not want to turn his neighbor into his means. This is the brotherhood of the Russian heart and the Russian idea. And this is the Gospel of the future.
Russian all-man is the bearer of new solidarism. Promethean man is already doomed to death. The epoch of the Ioannovsky man - a man of love and freedom. Such is the future of the Russian people. The West is driven by disbelief, fear and self-love; the Russian soul is driven by faith, peace and brotherhood. That is why the future belongs to Russia...
Characterizing the cultural and historical type of European and Russian man, V. Shubart uses the terms «promethean» and «gothic». The European has a «Promethean» moral constitution, which is based on the view of the world as an object, which should conquer, subdue, rebuild. Hence the eternal aggression of the West against the East, the desire of the West to «civilize» the East.
The book «Europe and the Soul of the East» (1938) was included by the German Nazis in the list of «undesirable and harmful literature. It burned on Nazi ritual bonfires.
I read this book in Russian translation. Shubart V. Evropa i dusha Vostoka = Europe and the soul of the East. Moskva : Russkaja ideja, 1997. 446 s.
Europa und die seele des Ostens / by Walter Schubart . Vita nova verlag, 1938.
L' Europa e l'anima dell'Oriente: Walter Schubart ; traduzione di Guido Gentilli. 1947, Edizioni di Comunità.

I moved to the U.K. from Brazil in 2006 and have been in Scotland, just outside Glasgow in Ayrshire since 2017. Things here are so bad now compared to 12 or so years ago that I am strongly considering Russia now. Thank you for the insight. 👍🏼🙂

Funny, I follow a few channels from Russia and you are correct. There is a different atmosphere there versus the U.S. and the UK. We have been thrown into utter chaos, in particular since 2020, and it’s getting worse. All your points are totally valid. Overall, in my opinion, Russia has their sh** together and the population is happier and working together. Instead of the west bashing Russia, we need to take a step back and acknowledge that we can learn from them (Russia). BTW, I’m a retired inner city teacher (NYC) and as much as I LOVE teaching, you can’t pay me enough to set foot in a classroom now. Great video and right on point!

[stevestone]

Spot on all counts. As an indigenous londoner I’m so glad you mentioned immigration, cos it’s destroyed my city. What was once a relatively crime-free and happy place to live has now descended into filthy overcrowded highly dysfunctional and violent hell-hole. If I were a younger man I’d move to Russia in a heartbeat. Hats off to you, I wish you well.

[gordonwatson]

You made a smart move Jim, at 62 it's sad to see the demise of Western society. If I was younger I'd be looking to leave this shitshow of a country. I wish you every success in life in Russia.

[Worldtraveler]

I’ve noticed that Russian cities are extremely clean and open. I’ve also noticed that it seems quite and peaceful

[Murrayoike]

💯 Agree with you. Russia a beautiful country with wonderful people

Hello everyone. I'm watching this video at six in the morning, and for some reason, when watching it, I remembered an event. Imagine the Kremlin, the northern wall, the memorial of eternal flame at the grave of the unknown soldier. There are always a lot of people there. And suddenly, when I approach the memorial, I realize that most likely an event is being prepared. Perhaps Putin will come to lay flowers or something else. And for security reasons, they had to push the crowd back twenty meters. Do you know how they pushed back the crowd? They did not fence the memorial with a chain, they did not fence the memorial with police tape. They just put female police officers in uniform in a chain around the memorial. They weren't standing shoulder to shoulder, there were ten meters between them. Just the women from the police office, no bulletproof vests, blue skirt, white blouse, office uniform, They did not shout "passage is prohibited." They just formed an invisible boundary, and no one crossed that boundary. Law and order in the highest form.

I am 44 and lived in the UK all my life. I hate the way it has gone. I don't feel safe here and it is very hard to get on and do well. I'd leave tomorrow if I could. My main concern is the UK is losing its identity and is overrun with immigrants that are nothing but a burden. I am so thankful I decided to never have children because the UK is one of the worst countries in the western world to bring kids up.

[AdamPayne]

I left the UK 25 years ago for Japan. Diff reasons but in hindsight, was a wise choice.

[vasilykotikov]

So many comments from the uk lads here, are silently occupying Russia? 😂 Tbh happy to hear that sane people come here!

[АнглийскийсБенджамином]

So happy I moved from the UK to Siberia, totally agree with you

[stealthspaniel]

Every reason that you gave is why the West is collapsing. Russia has gone back to basic, common sense living.

[rozzziee]

Lived in Russia for years. I can honestly say that there was not a leave out of place in moscow. Everything was so clean

[deanprecio]

Thanks for the insights mate, love from the UK

[GaryP-ss]

It's for reasons you point out, and several others, why my wife left USA in 2020 and I will be leaving in November (2024). I want to live someplace where the government takes care of citizens first and foremost. Laws enforced. Drugged out homeless are rare to find if at all. And so on and so forth . . . . I am not originally from USA. Last ~20-years it has declined dramatically. I cannot comprehend how anyone, regardless of political ideology, can accept what is going on. So happy you found a better life in Russia.

[tourdetrance]

Im an Australian that just returned from the U.K, it has a place in my heart as it is my ancestral homeland, i was disgusted at what i witnessed while there, crime ridden, flooded with immigrants who don't try and assimilate some parts are starting to feel like the middle east and a government that treats the native English like complete trash.

After watching your and other videos.
I would love to visit Russia and meet the Russian people.
It reminds me in many ways what it was like in my country 50 years ago. But more modern of course.
I am pretty sure I could live in Russia and be very happy.
Alas, My age stops me from doing that.
I will encourage as many people as I can to watch you videos.
