This video really hits on an emotional level. Again great work konstantin.

As lo g as they serve in a women's only unit, it's not a problem. Many Russian women served as snipers in the Great Patriotic War. Btw, in today's Russia, Russian women play a key role in keeping the country running.

Thank you for showing the complexity of the Russian people rather than enforcing stereotypes ❤

My grandmother was Russian, she was the kindest, most selfless and caring person I have ever known.

The ladies are strong and beautiful. Their hearts may have been shattered but they go forward. God bless them. 😊 🙏

A wonderful video! Gratitude for producing and sharing it! In my eyes, these women are all heroes. They are my sisters, and I love them! Slava Russia!!!

I'm gonna be honest this is exactly how I view traditional Russian women

Я так рад, что вы рассказываете правдивую историю. А не как некоторые придурки, которые не хотят, чтобы их демонетизировал YouTube.

Я голландец со словацкими корнями. Но я говорю по-русски, так как у меня есть друзья в Луганске и Мариуполе. И я знаю, что здесь правда. Так что продолжайте в том же духе. И молитесь, чтобы Господь продолжал благословлять Россию.

While women in the west are busy transforming themselves into being men and vice versa. There is a very huge chaos about what one is anymore as some just identify themselves as objects or animals. That is freedom for you in the west. Go REAL Russian men and women. We respect you here in Africa.

रसियाको आमाहरुले नै रसियालाई यहाँ सम्म जोगाएर ल्याएको हो, आजको रसियामा रसियन आमाहरुको ठूलो योगदान छ।

Quite the opposite of how feminists on the other side (heh) interpret feminism

As a Vietnam combat veteran my heart goes out to all those on both sides of this war. The deep scars of loss that last a lifetime.

I don't pithy these women, I admire them instead. Bold, feminine, brave, and above all, Loyal. May God bless them, may God bless the troops, and may God bless Russia.

Im both disturbed and impressed at the same time...

[ivangoran]

Умножайтесь, мои русские братья и сестры, чтобы умножить нашу радость оттого, что вы есть. Молю Бога о Вашем счастье и здоровье, а также о благополучии России. Привет из Сербии!

Sad to see those beautiful women with broken hearts, those children without their daddy.
