I thought I would make a trip to Moscow and Russia's largest shopping mall on a Saturday Evening. So show you what Russian Shoping Mall's are really like on the weekend. Showing everyone just how busy shopping malls get. The crowds and how many people are preparing for the up coming holidays in Russia.


Maybe you would like to help and support the channel, or even just buy my wife a coffee or lunch:

Not even in a thousand years will we have a shopping mall of such beauty and magnitude here in Portugal. And another important thing I witnessed when I was in Moscow: the energy, happiness, security, cleanliness, etc. Happy Holidays!

Your wife is beautiful and you make a beautiful couple merry Christmas

Beautiful, clean and safe. My son is there now. He spends 3 weeks during Christmas and in summer and fall with his wife and little boy. He comes back to the US with videos of all the beauty of Moscow. No smash and grad going on there. Shops can leave their merchandise out without worrying about it getting stolen. He would never go to NYC and shop, it's too dangerous, but in Moscow's mall he feels safe. He brought me beautiful ornaments and Icons from Moscow.

Merry Xmas to all the Russian people from the USA. Especially to my Christian brothers and sisters who celebrate. I pray the new year brings us renewed peace and prosperity.

Looks good Russell. I'm watching from Cebu in the Philippines. Let's all pray that 2025 becomes a year of peace.
Merry Christmas! 🌲

Very different than the United States, I very much enjoy your Russian videos. I love that it is so clean and well ordered there. I couldn’t help but notice that there isn’t alot of obesity there. It’s great that Russians are health conscious and don’t over indulge like so many here do.

I think this video clearly shows what the vast majority of ordinary Russian people look like. Beautiful, elegant, calm, contented.
PS. Thanks to Mosfilm for the extras.

Wow ! That’s a big tree 🌲. I have always wanted to visit Russia. Your wife is a gorgeous lady ! ❤
Thank you for showing me what it’s like in Russia. I watch Russian movies all the time. I think the reason I want to visit is because one of my high school teachers went to Russia and she showed us her videos and photos. She shared with us so much about Russian. And I just think it’s a beautiful country. I ended up going to college with a Russian lady. And she told me a lot about her life in Russia. And I learn from the movies I watch. It actually reminds me of the United States in many ways. The country villages remind me of where I grew up. Which was considered part of the city but it was more rural. Lower population back then in the 60/70’s when I grew up. It’s very busy there in Moscow ! And a nice mall. I think the United States malls are suffering really bad. The economy here is horrific. People can barely afford groceries. We have an online thrift store since 2009 and sales are terrible. Non of my Christmas items sold. I only sold 1 Hanukkah item. Usually I sell a lot. I’ll have stacks of packages going out especially in December. It’s nice to see Russia is doing so well. And the items selling are extremely nice. So yeah here in the USA malls are closing. Many stores are closing. thrift or discount stores can’t keep their door open. What once was a great income now people can’t make ends meet. Insurance companies are doubling prices. Taxes are the highest I may lifetime. Never seen an increase in taxes this high ever. The rate at which taxes went up the last 3 years is more than the rate over 25 years. So my husband who was retired back in 2019 went back to work in 2023. When our grocery bill doubled he went back and now in the last year our grocery bill has gone up about 75%. It’s too much for 3 1/2 yrs. I feel very sorry for the older population on fixed income with no ability to return to work. This makes me like Russia even more. Enjoy your beautiful festive holidays. We don’t celebrate Christmas but we like the spirit of Christmas and the lights and decor. I watch Christmas movies too. Hanukkah starts tomorrow night. I just wrapped gifts for family members. We shopped today to get everything for our holiday meals. A new grocery store opened near us and we were able to get lots of groceries on sale and manager specials. I think the cashier was impressed. We bought everything on sale. But that’s us. Always looking for a deal. lol.
Y’all Take care !
Thanks again! Leslye - Tennessee USA 🇺🇸

We don't care about catolic Christmas in Russia, we buy presents for New Year and Christmas is on January 7, if you're religious. So, it's don't matter 3 days it before Christmas or it's already Christmas.

[MaryMacElveen]

I am somewhat claustrophobic, but I would love to go to this shopping center just to experience it. In America we don't have malls like this. Thank you, Russell for another enjoyable video. Merry Christmas to you and your wife. Also Merry Christmas to all watching this wonderful video. ☺💖🌲🎅🇷🇺🇺🇸

No garbage or stolen cars in the fish tank, no homeless raiding stores or the shoppers, such a fantastic family friendly place well worth defending. Merry Christmas happy new year and God bless all the brave military personnel who chose to defend this beautiful Nations way of life.

Wow, Russians are really living extremely well. With the exception of Brazil, China and Iran, the rest of the world doesn't know how amazing Rissian life is in reality. It is so festive and happy.
