I want to make a comment- whoever keeps telling Russell to show things further from the city- whoever is telling him to find something more "typical" - Some people dont understand that in Russia the population is much more city oriented. If you are in between cities, you may find "worse" stores somewhere but it would be like judging based on a general store in the middle of nowhere rural new england and being like "So.. this is how typical people really live" And its just not the case. I can tell you when I was traveling around and went to Russia - and went to Kemerovo which is not a tiny place but its a typical siberian city- nowhere NEAR the size of even Novosibirsk, let alone Moscow- there were multiple big lot stores, a huge fancy market called Continent Vkus which would be similar to like a Wegmans I would say, as a comparison of someone who lives in the northeast but basically tons of premium food, and a good number of smaller markets which excellent variety and choice especially in produce like Mushrooms - just blew my mind that you could buy like more than half a dozen varieties of mushroom by weight, fresh, since you could NOT in Massachusetts.... And I went to Moscow and saw a HUGE supermarket inside a mall .... I cant confirm which it was but it was big and basically right off the metro there. That was literally better and bigger and more substantial than any supermarket in the Boston area etc. It just was. And that was 15 years ago. Anyone who keeps looking to confirm some pre-existing One more thing to note - the small carts, the people buying only a few items at a time. Russians do not STOCKPILE food they buy what they want because for instance - bread- they dont buy 3 loafs of wonderbread and keep it int he house for a month like americans, they buy fresh bread, and so they're already at the market. They also have grocery stores literally in the bottom of their apartment buildings and all along public transit routes. The "load up the Toyota Sequoia with 700 dollars worth of groceries and fill the fridge, freezer chest and cabinets once a month all at once" mentality does not exist there, its a different lifestyle.

Don't show this to Ursula Vonderlein, otherwise her washing machine chip will burn out in her head!

Russell, your well crafted videos tell the world the truth about what's really happening in Russia. This work is very important on many levels. Thank you, sir! 👍❤

I like that the cashiers get to sit down. I always thought it cruel to make cashiers stand all day.

In the UK I haven't seen a supermarket to compare with this one! So many choices and everything nicely laid out! Also smartly turned out ladies on the checkout's (register's). Many thank's Russell for another great video!

In Russia, literally every street house has a grocery store. 50% of them work around the clock

Grocery stores are located 50 meters from each other

It is unacceptable for a Russian person to drive 10 km by car to the store for shopping. Everything is within walking distance

Our stores, literally, are our refrigerators and warehouses in the house

In order to buy food, cigarettes and drinks, it is enough to leave the house at any time of the day and walk 15-50 meters

Food delivery - around the clock

Socially, it is very convenient to live in Russia

I live in the UK and I am staggered at the amount of choice and products that you have in your supermarkets.
I was sat watching with my husband with my mouth open! Completely dumbfounded. OMG.
I have never seen as many items in a supermarket.

It's sad to see Russians suffering so much.... must be painful having so many choices!

Like I said above, I am Russian living in US. I do go to Russia quite often and it is not Moscow. Last year I had to stay in my apartment in Krasnodar for a year. Because of my health condition I could only shop at a tiny store on the first floor of our building. So? It is tiny but it has literally everything! I didn't suffer from not being able to shop in the supermarkets like OKEY or ASHAN.
I was born in the Soviet Union, grew up there so i know the difference.

That's a gorgeous Super Market.
I live in Michigan US. Our bread is terribly expensive. Our markets don't compare to yours.

Hi Russell! This huge store is amazing. Nothing like that would be called “typical supermarket” here in Tokyo. They’re small and similar with no much varieties. Thanks for another great video!
Cheers!

Russel makes a simple supermarket video look like National Geographic :) I can't stop watching it though I'm a Russian and I'm not into food, lol

[ramiroescamilla]

I am amaze to see they got more variety’s than we have in the United States.

I don't live in a major city with nicer stores but I'm blown away at the presentation and how organized and full the shelves are. It is very nice

I've lived right outside New Orleans my entire life, and when you were looking at the eggs I thought to myself what it would be like making a gumbo over in Russia and if I'd be able to find the right ingredients. A couple seconds later you walked over to the Tabasco and my jaw dropped😅

"Добрый" cola is produced by Multon, and their owner is Coca-Cola. "Любимый" cola produced by Pepsi. So none of them left the Russian market, US vassals left, but many US companies remained 😆
