Nobody Wants To See Real Russia | Life outside Moscow

It seems that there are two main groups of viewers, those which hate Russia and think that anything which shows Russia as a good place is propaganda. The other are those who love Russia and consider anyone who shows anything but red sqaure, as anti Russian propaganda!

Support my channel. By giving me a tip you are helping me to create more content. Youtube pays me peanuts as my channel is under what is known as a shadow ban! Truth doesn’t pay much!

Hi, Sam! I say all this "real Russia" thing is a complete misconception. The point is that not only is Russia so big, but also it is incredibly diverse in terms of life standard, culture, climate, you name it. Therefore, when you say that a shabby building in Vladimir suburb is "real Russia", I will say "yes" to that. It is real and unique two-storey Russia. Yet it is merely one of its sides. If you say that your friend's gorgeous house is "real Russia", of course it is! Moscow city is real Russia, and Optina monastery is real Russia.

To sum up, real Russia is the spirit and our tradition, our values, and, unfortunately, our flaws, expressed in a great variety of ways. Those who say that only cool Moscow is real Russia, they do not know my country and cannot rightly love it. And only those who accept it entirely can boast that love.

Сэм, ты прав. Просто снимай то что тебя окружает. Это и есть настоящая жизнь.

Even old houses are very picturesque with surrounding green. Looks peaceful and sweet

[BradleyLarcher]

I like the old style houses. They carry a lot of history

In Russia, 5-year-old children walk on the playground without parental supervision. You can walk late in the evening or at night and not be afraid of a thief or a rapist.

Hi Sam, I don't usually leave a comment on your Video's but I like watching some of your videos. I like how you show Russia where you live. I like seeing all different types of Russia. I'm a Black American woman and I always thoght Russia is a very interesting country. Keep up the Good Work Sam.

[BankLawyer]

100 years later Sam will be known as a chronicler of Russia. Thank you, Sam.

[robertbarr]

Ok, Sam. you got me now. after viewing your vids for a while. I finally subscribed, liked, commented and shared. All I'm looking for is honesty, the good the bad and in between. Every country has all three. I appreciate you. Keep up the good work!

Sam, these comfortable houses were built on the site of shacks similar to those that stand nearby. So with your video you show that Russia is developing and the welfare of the people is growing. Unevenly, but growing. I am sure that new beautiful houses will be built in the near future on the site of the old houses surrounded by cottages.

Privyet, Sam. I watch your videos because you are genuine. What convinced me you were real is when I first watched one of your videos and you described Russia as a "land of contrasts, " and that's what you loved about it. BTW, the older "dacha-like" houses are the best. You have a YT channel and struggle to make people happy. Imagine running a town, city, or country? Superb job, Sam. Blagosloveniya.

If people think this is bad they should see where i live in the UK 🤣

Small minds cannot grasp the big picture. There are poor areas middle income places, and rich areas in America and perhaps in all countries.

I like seeing the old houses with all the strange and interesting details .

Здравствуйте.
Открою вам страшную тайну )))
Как русская, я обожаю именно такие старые деревянные дома, а не новые коттеджи. Дело в том что в России у каждого человека есть возможность жить так как он хочет (пока это соответствует законам и совести конечно) и в таком доме как ему хочется. Поэтому такой большой контраст и разные стили и размеры домов. Это и правда зависит не только от достатка, но и от желаний, предпочтений и то, что человек считает для себя уютом )))
И с одной стороны я радуюсь когда вижу новое благоустройство и новые вылизанные коттеджи, а с другой в такой идеальной обстановке мне было бы душно....
Моей душе нужен старый бабушкин домик с резными ставнями и запахом бревен и досок, запах грозы в небе, разнотравье и песчаная дорога, по которой можно идти босиком )

Just keep doing what you’re doing. That’s why I subbed to your channel. As an American, I want to see your content as it’s something I can trust. You show things as they are in their simple forms. People are people and if we could collectively stop being absolutely crazy, we would all see that. If I did in my country what you do in yours, it would have striking similarities.

[buiteboeroutfiltrationist]

Well, you do not have to try and please anyone. Just do exactly what you do! Being from South Africa we know all very well how much what people think about countries = is all in their own imaginations/minds. So yes, forget the trolls and enjoy showing your thoughts, your experiences, and your life in Russia.

The place is safer and more gorgeous than Manhattan and Los Angeles combined

I live in the appalachian mountains of east Tennessee, we have everything from multi million dollar mansions to shacks with no electricity, it's all real east Tennessee. 💯🤣🇺🇲 I would expect Russia to be the same. ❤ from 🇺🇸😁

Sam, I love your videos. Yes, Russia is a country of contrasts, this is manifested in literally everything.
Our family has a house in the village. We didn’t come there for a long time and it fell into disrepair, the fence was rickety, the barn had collapsed, the area was overgrown with grass. If someone took a photograph of our house, he could sign it as “real poor Russia.” But then my parents retired and decided to live in the village. The whole family built a new, large, beautiful house with all the amenities, and put up a new fence. Now my parents live in this house in winter. Perhaps someone will say about our house that oligarchs live in it. 😂
When I was little, my parents had 3 country houses in different villages, which they inherited. They sold 2 houses.
My friend lives in a typical village house, which from the outside looks old. But inside it has a shower, toilet and good repair. Appearances are deceiving.
I would also like to note for those who don’t know: many Russians live in cities, and only come to their dachas (individual houses) in the summer for a few days or don’t come there for several years. It makes no sense for them to invest heavily financially in a house in which they spend 2 weeks a year.
I have never understood people, especially Westerners, who judge the well-being of Russian citizens by the appearance of their country house.
