What do you think? Cool challenge? Or nah?

[daniil_lozhkin]

Wow, it's very surprising to see you here. I am your subscriber from Russia. Great performance!

[tracymiller]

That was a super cool challenge. You did great. I've always wanted to visit Moscow.

[artsiberia]

Hello from Russia (Novosibirsk oblast). Thanks for video. I remembered that staff by myself some time ago. But I used a little more information. Russia consists of 8 federal districts, each with several regions (what you memorized). Each district has it's center.

[priitsan]

Impressive memory, and equally impressive assholery by russia to put annexed Ukrainian land as their territory on the map (Herson, Zaporizhzhia, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk).

[x]

seems like it was fun, a lot of the hardships you had sounded normal for being on a tv program, doesn't seem like you were pressed into anything that would've been legitimately weird for you--i am very surprised that, as boring as you thought it was, you were basically the second place finish that means that it did at least seem very impressive. I find it pretty impressive your mnemonics worked well through a language barrier, that's a really nice thing for you to experience. I wonder how much it falls apart or stays together in languages with a less romanized alphabet like Chinese, Arabaic, etc. I think a big part of the wow factor was the fact you were foreign and the fact you memorized SO MUCH in such a small span, it was a lot from their perspective including mine.

[NimThree]

Good for you! Interesting experience and definitely wasn't boring

[ЂорђеСекулић]

Great job man, I'm impressed. 👏

[rupanugapmishra]

video idea learning russian in 15 days....?

[frontendprotogy]

Well, When did Russia went from: "US will collapse and we will establish Peoples republic of Texas" to "Look American here lets cheer him"

15:45 - Did you really expect to be treated fairly in Russia?!! On Russian television?!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[smoovindagroov]

You think the same people that trick you by putting a couple extra zip codes wouldn't also intentionally have you put Crimea on the map? Okay...

Other thing I noticed is, Nelson is probably the only memory mnemonics guy I can think of that doesn't try to learn every language being spoken around him.

[RuslanSkiraUkraine]

Nelson, I find your channel during the course "Learning How to Learn" many years ago. You motivate me to, become an endless learner. And I watched all the videos from your trips. And now, I left my country because russians destroyed my home in Volchansk. And bombing Kharkiv daily. Unfortunately, you will get support from 140 million country and I wish you became a journalist and travel at least to Kharkiv(Ukraine) and Belgorod(russia) to understand what are you doing.

[janzon]

The jury before voiting said that it is a pity that they don't have the right to vote, after the voting Evgeny asked the host if he would allow the Chinese couple to take part in the final, he asked the other jury members if they agree and everyone agreed. That was the reason they presented on TV, maybe there was another one off camera.

Apart from that, congratulations Nelson, I was also second in this program in my episode :)

⁠ Hi Nelson. I rediscovered your channel recently and was similarly surprised by this video. I think it’s fair to say that there’s reason for people to be confused. In a comment you say it wasn’t about the money, but in another comment and in the video you say money was a big determinant in competing. You also say you were there for the challenge, and I get that but if I want a challenge I just do a crossword, I don’t travel to a country actively occupying another country and partake in their entertainment. Also you say this decision wasn’t political. I know you think it isn’t, but the decision to go is not apolitical. You mention the crimea situation, and another comment said that the map had Ukraine regions in it but I’m not certain, and I don’t get how you can’t see this as not a simple hand wave laugh it off comment. If you were Ukrainian or had a sexuality that Russia views as inhuman would you have competed just because you love travel or the challenge of it? Do you have any further thoughts a few months on? I know you don’t agree with the politics of Russia and are kind of saying that people gotta live, but I think the situation is above that. Keeping this video up is a wild look for your channel without any further comment so I’d be interested to hear your points.

[Dragonfly-jojr]

I used to be your follower, Nelson, until I saw this video. It was a shock to me that you accepted that disgusting invitation from russia.

I was born in russia, and my parents and brother still live there. For more than 20 years, I've been living in Ukraine, and I adore this wonderful country. Every single day and night, I'm hiding my little daughters in the bathroom while russian rockets are flying over my house.

I will never go to russia again. The people who live there keep voting for their crazy government and support this awful war, whether silently or actively.

Sorry, but it’s unbearable for me to follow your channel after realizing how careless you are, despite being so smart. That's a pity

[dimaaaaaaa]

Смотрю это здесь, а не по телеку у себя в России😂

[MurtagBY]

I am your subscriber from Belarus. And I never forget my shopping list 😂

[falconx]

Give the money to the American and get thrown in jail. 😂
