Nearly all Russians could not give a dam about Russian horrors UNTIL it started to impact their personal position or that of their loved ones with mobilisation. This is a fact.

[lynetteray]

But remember the bombings in Moscow in 1999. When I walked up to the front door of my new apartment building in late August 1999, I was stopped by two Babushki. I behaved, having been trained in Kazakhstan about the power of the Babushka. They asked me all kinds of questions and even told me to produce my passport. I complied. They let me through and remembered me afterwards. According to my colleagues at my new work place, the bombings were thought to be Russian government backed, even though Chechen rebels were implicated. Therefore, the Babushki were protecting Moscovite homes. So, Putin was actually messing around from day one. He had his plans and he was systematically carrying them forward.

Please pray for the 100, 000 (Russian count) Ukrainian children (around your sons age) that have been "liberated" from their parents, and sent to Russia for adoption and re-education in the Russian way...

Let's be real, I don't think that rural Russia was ever riding any "wealth waves" in the 2000s or ever. It was mostly the major cities. And even then, let's be real, it wasn't close to the 1st world wealth. For example, in 2007, the US GDP per capita was 5x (five) times more than Russia's... The EU average was 3x (three) times more than Russia's.

[psihopedia]

I'm Romanian and living in Romania. We had rough 90's ourselves in my country. Almost as bad as in Russia, with lawlessness and economical insecurity. But having this experience of dictatorship we've been afraid to return to "one-man-state" kind of system and most of us still have this phobia.

See, there is this problem with anyone who benefits from a "money wave" and everyone who can associate his name with prosperity or good times for the masses: they can always seize power and pursuade you easily into giving up your freedoms. This is not only possible but also probable to happen. Politicians love power!

And of course, it's often the case that people wake up way too late, when you could only return to a democratic system through bloodshed and anarchy. Who's ready for a violent revolution? That's why when we see small revolutions in the West we should actually be thankful and understand that it's much better than being unable to express ourselves even though they are considered "political instability and anarchy" by authoritarian systems.

What a contrast! Iranian women fight tyranny. Russian men run from tyranny.

[usagiynami]

You described very well how Russia ended up in the present situation.

[DomingoDeSantaClara]

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me."

Martin Neimoller

It's not difficult to see how Russia reached this point.

[newfaith]

143 millions of Russians felt helpless and hopeless but somehow 41 millions of Ukrainians didnt felt helpless and hopeless. Dont you see irony in this ?

[zeazevedo]

One of the things that annoys me the most in your videos is the fact that you always portray the Russian people as victims of circumstances, poor oppressed and helpless Russian people who can do nothing!
There are no inevitabilities, everything can be changed.
In a country like Russia, with millions of inhabitants, no government or regime can be maintained without the support or, at least, without the passivity and indifference of the majority of the population.
What is happening in Ukraine as well as everything that has ever happened in Russia, is the ultimate responsibility of the Russian people, who allow and always have allowed the atrocities that the government commits, even against its own people!
Putin is only in hot water because his goals in Ukraine have failed miserably. Had the vile attack on the Ukrainian nation succeeded, Putin would have been hailed and applauded by the entire Russian nation as a hero.
It is true that many fled Russia, but it is also true that this only happened when the risk of being mobilized for war became real. If that hadn't happened, I bet they would have gone on living their lives as if nothing had happened while the Ukrainian people were being slaughtered.

[AndyTube]

Germany has felt shame for WW2 for best part of 75 years. Will Russians feel the shame of the war in Ukraine? They should because what they have done and are still doing is very shameful.

[mat_lut]

I'm sorry to be a bit blunt, but honestly speaking, nobody outside Russia was really surprised of what happened. Of course, we were surprised by the stupidity of the act, since normally Putin has always been a very careful man. But we were not surprised by the fact that Russia was doing that. Why should we? It happened many other times before, even recently (2008 and 2014). And, sorry again, but everything was quite easy to forecast by analysing seriously what happened with the apartment bombings (especially the reports about Ryazan), what happened with the war on Chechnya and the chechen genocide, what happened with the school in Beslan (Police used flamethrowers) and with the theatre in Moscow. And, of course, what was happening with every journalist who dared to say something uncomfortable. Ah, not to mention what happened with the submarine disaster. And I'm not talking of the technical difficulties, but of the fact that if Russia would have TIMELY asked for help, then probably we would have saved some lives. But obviously, the lives of single people don't matter. Whether they are poor seamen or some residents of Ryazan or some theatre-goers or some school-children taken as hostages... Such a careless attitude towards human life was rather shocking to all of us, and made us always wonder "If a regime is so careless for the lives of its citizens, not only for the lives of some separatists or some dissidents, but also for the lives of normal citizens and even Army personnel, what is this regime capable of?". So basically the signs were all there. While these things were happening, we in the West (which is not perfect, yet, it's completely on another level), we were all wondering (still in '99) "Why the hell the Russians are so quiet about these things? Why don't they question them?". If only one, just one, of these things happened in any western Country, it would have ignited a revolution. And even if one would miss all of these sign, then, sorry, but after 2008 (Georgia) it was pretty clear that Russia was a dictatorship. And, even if one was missing that, then, let's say 2014. Even if you were hating Ukraine at that time, the fact that a "President" hated by his people and ousted by his people was seeking refuge in your Country, should have made you question a lot of things about your Country (I'm saying "you" in general, I'm not referring to poor Constantin, who is a good guy). And also, in 2014, who shot down the Malaysian plane? Uh? Ukraine? Why Ukraine? How could someone, some honest Russian, be so sure, back in 2014, that it was Ukraine? Why was necessarily the opponent, the one who did that?

Perhaps Russians have (and always had) a completely distorted vision of their Country, if they're always so sure that nothing seriously bad can be really done by Russia and if, when these bad things are indeed happening, they are always so surprised that they actually can't believe it...and mostly don't believe it, so, they blame someone else and hold as most probable the much less probable version of facts no matter how it implausible it is. Indeed Constantin is an enlightened man, since somehow he managed to get out of this spiral of "unthinkingness".

Thank you for today's stream. A++ commentary! INTERESTING and FASCINATING! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND TIME!! 😊 take care and God bless you and your family and friend's. Love from New York State 🗽 ❤❤❤

[joaomarreiros]

When you speak of the Golden years Konstantin, I think it is not correct to generalize the existence of a city urban middle and high class that enjoyed a "boom" of wealth, without mentioning the rural areas of the country where the only improvement was water and power and not everywhere, those people continued to live in poverty, a lot of them emigrate here, and here they stayed, a lot of them educated people. I understand those living in the great towns, with a lot of business and resources poring in, to "forgive", why I am unable to understand, losing some of their freedom and in exchange having more wealth or simple continuation of their ability to obtain it. Russia always continued to be a land of contrasts, from ostensive wealth to Spartan existence, and those that were poorer, supported people like Putin, some of them still do, for them the demand of blood from the Kremlin is as natural as it as always been, the "peasant" was always submissive, unfortunally for the Russian people itself. Having the "vertical of power" is a confirmation of everything I just said, the people in the bottom obey because they are conditioned to obey and they want some of the wealth others have, and for these people, simple things are wealth because they have none.
Sometimes we lose track of our reasoning when pursuing a goal, please do not make that mistake, step out of the frame, clear your feelings and experience, and then analyze the subject and when making a statement complete it. I would then say that the "middle and upper classes in Russia, and the lower classes that were getting jobs, houses, and better conditions, let themselves be dominated by the authoritarian figures like Putin that were able to slowly take control. The poorer and uneducated people of the rural areas, of the poorer areas, got simple things, like running water, electricity, some comfort, supermarkets and tv, and they just supported the current regime because it was either that or slave themselves to work for the oligarchs.
Because here in the West, we are practically the same age so we saw the same things from a totally different perspective, we saw nouveau rich people rising to wealth, we saw extremes of wealth and poverty, and not a progressive middle class, both from what we saw from the outside and from the people that came here to work in many areas of society, from doctors and other educated people to the people working in construction and cafés.
I think this is important, this aspect, because you need to clear this in order to transmit the idea I think you are trying to transmit, meaning, Russians were doing better, they wanted to keep things going that way, and they sold their soul to the devil, and now that devil is destroying the country and all it was able to obtain evolving from the downfall of the Soviet Union.
This is of course, merely my opinion.

[dcbradfo]

You summed up the last two decades better than anyone or any source I've seen. And the insights carry more weight because they come from you, somebody who lived it. Thank you for your honesty.

[theredscourge]

Russia has a state religion and state officials, all of which is permeated by former KGB officials. These KGB officials should have all been phased out starting in 2005. The fact that they were not is probably a large part of why Russia has been turned back toward the tyranny of the USSR just without the communism. That, and the fact that Russia was never really "defeated" after the Cold War the way that Japan and Germany were in WWII, and convinced to adopt a new system, to believe in that new system, and to back that new system with a strong constitution that cannot easily be changed. I have a Russian friend who believes the war in Ukraine is justified. I told him I learned that Denys Pushilin, the "leader" of the DPR, was a high up person in the MMM pyramid scheme, and he said "so what". I think this "so what" attitude about obvious corruption may be a large part of what took Russia right back down this same path.

[PAX-GT]

Wow thank you that info and your calm presentation is GOLD

[jaikyiv]

Nonsense. The USSR breaking apart was the best part that happened in our lives. Ruzzia, however, chose the wrong path. And you have happily supported this. Even in the way you describe these events today, there are plenty of imperialistic undertones.

There's a lot of work that you will need to do to understand what you have been doing for the past 20 years.

[danielmarkwell]

150, 000 children have been removed from Ukraine to Russia..what are your thoughts?

[sqweege]

I haven’t seen this stream yet. But my answer to the stream headline. One of the reasons Russia got where they are, is due to the usual answer from most Russian citizens……”I’m not interested in politics”. There’s no accountability for what the Russian government does.
