Я, как русский, по себе могу сказать, что я тоже лучше отношусь к иностранцам. Я их не делю на иностранцев с Запада или Азии или ещё откуда-нибудь. Точнее, не лучше отношусь, а внимательней. И это не из-за мягкой силы, у меня нет иллюзий по поводу жизни на Западе. Просто иностранец является гостем и может чего-то не знать или не понимать как тут всё устроено и возможно, с моей стороны, потребуется более внимательное к нему отношение. Также вы правы, что русские люди, в основном, любопытны и интересуются окружающим миром. Мне всегда интересно, когда иностранцы рассказывают о своей стране, культуре, обычаях.

Western propaganda has always demonized and stupefied Russians in the eyes of Americans. In the USSR and Russia, Americans were not demonized, on the contrary, they were considered a worthy rival in all areas of human development. For example, in Soviet times we loved to read a lot and besides Russian classics, we knew from childhood who Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn were. They read the novels of Fenimore Cooper and Jack London, and many, many others. We have made films and theatrical productions based on plays by American and other Western playwrights. None of this was forbidden. In the USSR, all this broadened their horizons, and with the advent of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, young people became massively interested in Western music. We knew a lot more about you than you knew about us. But, as a nation that lost 30 million dead people in World War II, we knew who the American missiles were aimed at, and against whom the NATO bloc was being created. Later, with the advent of video recorders, everyone started binge-watching what you were watching. Well, the era of the Internet has generally erased all boundaries, and people began to communicate directly. It seems to me that modern youth, in general, except for language There is no difference between the barrier that can be easily overcome with the help of an online translator. They listen to the same music and watch the same movies. and they play the same games. Any people can be fooled and misled by propaganda, which is why we distinguish between the policies of governments in different countries and ordinary people, who in fact have nothing to share.

Russia is beautiful and magnificent

I didn’t had to take multiple loans for studying in the USA. Just start at your local community college first. There is FAFSA so if you don’t have enough money tuition is paid for you by Uncle Sam no loan but a grant.

Sydney is a wonderful pretty lady student . Her experience in Russian life is very pleasant, as folks and government are not against foreigners. Thanks Eddie, Kevin and Sydney for your interesting talks. Happy newyear 2025 for all of you.❤🙏🌷

It's a pity there are no English subs for the video.

I don’t see any homeless people lying about not crack heads.

Open border Asylum is legal

As being Russian, I'm ashamed that I've never been to Yaroslavl. I need to fix this when I get a chance. Great video, Eddie!!! 😀👍

Как правило, при транскрибировании имени Sydney на русский предпочтителен вариант Сидни для женщин и Сидней для мужчин (если, конечно, это не персональный выбор самого человека). Но это моя маленькая проф. деформация как филолога и редактора) в целом, очень понравилась беседа, вкратце и по делу. Сидни(ей) (ну вот, теперь я в западне) производит приятное впечатление, желаю ей удачи во всех начинаниях. Ps Словения уан лав!

Friend, as much as we orthodox accept and love you are person, as a man, we look at roman-catholic "church" as wrong teaching, so essentially as heresy. It is what it is. Its not all Christianity.

8:55 Русские парни улыбаются девушкам. Это нормально. Так они проявляют симпатию к противоположному полу

Wonderful topic I wish we had more channels talking about education in Russia🎉 have a good new year break

The life of students in the USSR was beautiful. I claim it as a former student!❤❤❤

Some Russians compare Russian streets to the streets in Hollywood movies, which is far from reality.

...а теперь выяснилось, что сша и есть главный фашист.

You will forgive me but if that is Russia, I wonder if you know what you are teaching people, it is ugly that place to live

Русия е една от малкото останали чисти стилни и неопорочени държави в света. Монако Франция Италия Гърция и т.н нямат този лукс от простор и красиви елегантни млади хора . Тук живота се усеща с пълна сила. Свободата на духа е заразяваща. Така беше и в България докато бяхме със СССР. Сега в ЕС сме нещастни. Там всичко е изкуствено пошло и захабено.За САЩ да не говорим. С обич от България 🇧🇬❤️🇷🇺

Мой родной город)

One of the best videos yet

Thank you for another wonderful video from inside beautiful Russia.

Thank you very much for great video. big fun of your channel. From Florida with love to My Mother Russia!:))

Quaint town nice old core

Probably safer to walk the streets there than the US but I'm sure I would get in trouble there using my penchant for free speech.

I live 'bout 2 hours away from Yaroslavl. I've visited this city in 2018 last time. Summer's the best season to visit Yaroslavl.

Приветствую, Эдди! Хорошее видео, но про город, его историю, архитектуру, традиции, культуру, его людей, невозможно, конечно, рассказать в таком коротком ролике. Но начало положено. ;) Еще есть вопрос порожденный любопытством, если можно. Это видео снято под эгидой президентского фонда культурных инициатив? С наступающим Новым Годом! Добра тебе!

Nice that history is celebrated, not cancelled.

Welcome Home Eddie! Another Great video! Thank You for all the Magnificent things and places You show here! 👍🤜🤛 I hope You ate PLENTY Chorizo, while You were back in Texas and Mexico 😁

I've been to Yaroslavl about 35 years ago. Do not remember much. I wish I could visit it again. It is different now and I've changed too so it would be nice to recall my first visit and may be see a glimpse of myself 35 years younger!

I have been travelling to Russia for 15 years now. I love Russia, i have been to Murmansk, Grosny, UFA, Vladivostok, Crimea, Perm, Kazan, Kaliningrad (meet my wife there) Kind and helpful people, i have nothing negatively to say. Just love for Russia❤

The bear with spear statue is beautiful.❤

The white cathedral is epic with golden arched roof. Thanks for your spectacular views. A happy new year for you and your loved ones. ❤️🌷💔🙏💕

And to you from Canada!

Dear Eduardo: Let's eñjoy a Peaceful & Sweet Ñew Year for Wife & fa*ily. desde España

I love going to Nuevo Progresso (Las Flores).

Вы прикиньте насколько там пропаганда хорошо работает, что люди колеблются ехать или нет, у нас люди обычно колеблются поехать за границу или нет из-за отсутствии денег))

Thank you for sharing !
