Kazan is a clean, beautiful and modern city. Tatars are super friendly people and I really enjoyed my time in Kazan as an American.

Even though I’m from Ukraine 🇺🇦, I still love watching these videos about Russia. I love its beautiful landscapes and culture! It’s just so heartbreaking for me that we’re hating on each other so much. I truly hope that there’s a slightest chance of peace between our nations. Time will heal🙏🏻

the more anti Russian propaganda we get here in the West, the more I'm interested to learn about Russia. Your work is a tremendously valuable service to your country!

[eltrovar]

A people and a culture proud of its roots and its history doesn't need to crush others to exist. It welcomes diversity. That's how you know the Russians are a great people. Love from France !

Как татарин из соседней башкирии хочу сказать, что обожаю наше татарское внутринациональное разнообразие. Хитрые купцы и наемники-мишари, работящие крестьяне и осваиватели природы- крящены и тептяри(я например), просвещенные и утонченные-казанлы. Но все мы едины, несмотря ни на разность менталитетов, ни на разность диалектов, ни на разность религий. А еще нас любят большинство соседей. Марийцы, чуваши и удмурты чувствуют себя как дома.

Warm Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭 I love Russia and it's culture. More vlogs!

[chrisnorthern]

I love the way you make no mention of the Owl on your shoulder, because it is obviously so totally normal a thing to have happen.

[sergefa]

I'm half Tatar and Half Russian and I really enjoy your videos.Thanks. I love Russia!

[slamtilt]

We have an expression here in New Zealand, "Don't leave home till you've seen the country". That would be impossible for you to do as Russia is so large and could take a lifetime to see it all. I'm enjoying your travel vlogs. Keep them going.

As a tatar yourself, you certainly feel so much at home in Kazan. And, by the look of it Kazan is a clean and beautiful city. Thanks

[joselitorosales]

I’m from India and have studied here in Kazan for 6 years for my medicine Doctor degree. Came up to your channel and then this video, Kazan was like my second home. Watching your video filled my heart with utter joy and just more love for Tatarstan, Kazan and Russia. Keep making such videos. Love from India ❤
