Well, you don't know who does what with Lidl's video and where it goes. They can film me, cool, I can film them. I for one want to live in a just world where everyone plays by the same rules. So there's that, number one. Secondly, unlike Lidl and other public installs, I am not trying to sneak around with my camera and film people in secret without them knowing or having an option to opt-out. In fact, the Lidl security guard asked me to not film the staff, and so I cut out a lot of material from the video and blurred the face of the only one I left in. Which was done out of curtesy and respect, kindly giving them an option to opt-out! Now, what do you think Lidl would've done if I ask them to turn off the cameras while I do my grocery shopping? So the implicit accusation of me doing something I did not have permission to do.. is sort of not true. Otherwise the request from the security guard would have been much different. However that may be, I would still argue that I need no one's "permission" to document what my eyes see in a public space, where there is (or should be) no expectation of privacy (and yes, I consider any building open to the public as being public space). People need to stop thinking of cameras as dangerous self-exploding bombs and take a chill pill.

Yeah, that is the same everywhere I think. Don't quote me, but in Sweden the distance used to be very short, like half a meter from the window of a house. And I believe they extended that, so the homeowner now has the right to push someone out of his garden. And it makes sense, of course. Where I was in the video was not someone's living quarter. Like I said in the video, I even thought the place was public. My personal preference is to stay as far away from other people as possible lol. What I do question strongly, is infringing on someone's living space, whether temporarily or permanently, for no reason, i.e. to solve a real problem. By the end of the day, we are all humans and we should strive to co-exist and to simply put it, be polite and friendly. What I often find is that me staying somewhere, anywhere, for a day or two is NEVER a "problem" to anyone. Then all of a sudden there's this invincible magic threshold, when if I stay longer, locals do their best to get rid of me. But seemingly, there is no real problem. What was so "disturbing" is simply the fact that I am a free person not paying rent (which is something we should all do, if you ask me!). I could literally give you several examples of where I have stayed legally parked on public land, still someone calls the police and sure enough, they show up to effectively try to intimidate me to leave. By the end of the day, the only rationale the tax-sponsored mafia had for disturbing my peace is "someone called", so they have to do the walk of shame and disperse. This is a dark side of human nature I wish I wouldn't have to experience.

It is very strange that you do not know the standard rules for crossing the border. Russia is a legal state. 1. If you don’t have Russian friends, then invitation letters are issued on various Internet forums, websites or travel agencies. 2. Tourists register in hotels, the procedure is streamlined there. They forward your passport information to the migration service or police office. Obviously, if you live in a mobile home, then you need to do this registration yourself. We live in the 21st century, there is the Internet, you can always find the addresses of government services. Even in English only this procedure can be completed. 3. Russia is a democratic country. Any actions, any relations with government authorities can and should (if necessary) be recorded on video. This is a public space; permission for video filming is not required by law. Any information about violations by government officials must be available to the public. We do not shelter criminals. 4. You can update your period of stay in Russia when crossing the border with the countries of Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China. 5. It’s strange that you didn’t think through such questions in advance.

Russia is the same as China regarding rights. You can do and say whatever you want until your soapbox get too big, then the rules change. Not to something bad, just to something different. If you step up onto a huge soapbox and shit all over the place, they will throw you out on your ass and elbows or put you in prison and try to exchange you for a political prisoner your home country has taken. But it is wisely to remember that violence is not monopolised by the state to the same degree as in western countries. If you piss someone off they can legally get away with being quite physical (I have to watch my words or youtube will auto delete my comment) as long as they can convince the judge, that you are a nasty person. Which they probably can since they are on home turf when it comes to values.

I have provoked the Russian police and KGB sorely and was only ever met with kindness and decency - my greatest respect to them - far better than in most Western countries time after time and I've never seen them lie, unlike the UK police. I have driven Russia East to West, North to South repeatedly: Remember you're talking theory, not experience, and seem paranoiac and almost mentally ill - i notice many Swedes are like that.

​ @gurglejug627 I don't know about your specific examples, but I agree with the overall sentiment, in so far that the Western world is corrupt; the law is sometimes not just dubious (what even is "hate speech") but also interpreted and discriminatorily enforced. In particular, police and other officials seem to have a "get out of jail" free card. I can give you one example relevant in my own life. I do legal parking, as far as I am aware of, most of the time. But it is common for armed and angry police to come and try to intimidate me to leave the place because "someone called". It's pretty much the norm if I stay for 3-4 days or longer. Each time I remind them of their duty to uphold the law, rather than to act like a private mafia organization. I also kindly ask them to go after the caller and hold them accountable for filing a false police report, and of course hold themselves accountable for unjust harassment of a civilian. This never happens (because the actual LAW doesn't seem to matter to these people). Instead, they always do the walk of shame out of there, and so the cycle repeats itself the next parking I do.

@@themartinandersson I totally agree with you there. Years ago I was with a Swedish girlfriend in the north of England, 'in the middle of nowhere' when police and a forest ranger came blazing up the valley. They asked what we were doing up there late at night (it was just getting dark) on a public footpath and right of way (we intended to camp but they didn't know that) - they threatened to shoot me - I'm not joking, they said, quoting precisely "you WILL be shot" because you may be a poacher, detained and grilled me for ages, totally unlawfully. And i have seen far, far worse. I have seen more abuse (much of it VERY serious) of the law in England than in any other country, having travelled much of the world. But yeah, go to Russia, forget the propagandic crap - I have had the most wonderful experiences there, time after time. And think carefully about expressions like 'blackmail and bribery' - we pay taxes, they pay by 'who you know' and it often works out far more reasonably their way, both in terms of money and in interpersonal care - practical on the spot solutions to help you and get you on your way. Just try not to be openly camp - it's just not in their culture, and don't flaunt wealth too much - the Russians don't despise wealth per-se, but they do despise people flaunting it or being arrogant - they prefer educated/interesting/experienced conversations - even the street urchins - and people there are more important than possessions. And remember Sweden invaded Russia last, not the other way way around, and Russians have VERY long memories - but all good you do for them, all humility will be paid back tenfold. The people to avoid are the heavy drinkers, and as a foreigner NEVER drink in public, never ever, as the Russians read body language very well (a kickback from the Soviet Era) and you WILL become a target of n'er do wells, but if you stay with people in their homes you will be very well looked after and the hospitality and kindness of the people is wonderful - something we have totally forgotten, to our shame, in the West. The police are usually very helpful and will often offer safe parking, same with the KGB/FSB - though because of the present SMO that may not be the case now. Don't hate them for being cautious of foreigners when one looks back at history and the number of countries which have invaded Russia, maliciously and cruelly (and they ALL got a good kicking in the end). Bon voyage.

You said, "... the more countries trade with each other, the less they're likely to go to war with each other..." Well, this isn't always true. Russia had extensive trade ties with Ukraine. Ukraine became increasingly democratic since ~2000 while Russia became increasingly authoritarian.Yes, Ukraine had plenty of corruption and attempts to rig elections by Yanukovich and others in between, but the trend in Ukraine has been toward free elections and free speech. Ukrainian businessmen and the government recognized that there was more economic opportunity trading with the EU than with Russia. For example, Navtogaz of Ukraine had plans to develop the huge Yuzivska gas field in Donbas as well as gas fields off the coast of Crimea. Then Russia invaded Crimea and Donbas in 2014. Russia occupied the gas fields in the Black Sea, and their invasion of Donbas made gas development of the Yuzivska field unsafe and unviable. Those development projects would have competed with Russian Gazprom, and Putin was unwilling to allow Ukraine to export gas to the EU in competition with Russia's Gazprom. Then around 2017, Ukraine's national electric company -- Ukrenergo -- started to plan to cut its electrical connection with Russia and integrate with the EU grid to sell electricity to the EU from Ukraine's extensive nuclear, hydro, coal, gas and some other renewable electrical generation capacity. This export of electricity would have also competed with Gazprom's sale of gas to the EU for electrical generation. Ukraine finally cut its connection with Russia's grid on Feb 24, 2022, and 4 hours later Russia's army invaded. Ukraine actually started exporting electricity to the EU a little bit in 2022 a few months after it connected with the EU grid, but this became impossible because Russia occupied Ukraine's biggest nuclear plant, bombed Ukraine's biggest hydro electric plants, and then started a large campaign to destroy Ukraine's remaining electrical generation and transmission infrastructure. Ukraine had EXTENSIVE economic ties with Russia. Many Russian industries were dependent on Ukrainian supply chains. Ukrainian companies made engines for Russian helicopters and also Russian ships. These economic ties didn't make war less likely. What actually happened was that Putin and his mafia state simply wanted to seize Ukraine's industry for themselves so they could control it completely. I bring this up to challenge the assumption that economic ties generally foster peace. It's not always true. When a small nation has trade ties with a bigger imperialist nation, the big country with the big army might decide to invade and simply steal the smaller country's industries and infrastructure. I'm a Polish citizen. I actually have several close friends who grew up in Russia. I don't really have ill-will toward Russian people, although I strongly condemn their autocratic and imperialist government. I would not have any issues with Russians in Kaliningrad entering my country IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE FACT that the Russian government actively commits sabotage in Poland to try to destabilize my country. There are Russian spies in Poland. Some of them keep getting caught. I have personally found some online accounts of Russians living in Poland by dubious means that engage in spying operations to film movements of NATO troops in Poland as well as transport of materials through Poland to Ukraine. So look, I empathize with Russians trapped in Kaliningrad, but I don't believe that Poland can let them travel freely in our country because Russia continues to send spies to commit espionage in my country. I have always wanted to visit Kaliningrad, but I won't do it because I think it's simply unsafe. Russia imprisons westerners all the time and sometimes holds them hostage to swap them for Russian spies imprisoned in the USA or EU. There are a lot of fascinating countries to visit in Europe, and now is not the time to go visit Russia. Go to Ukraine instead! Otherwise, enjoy Poland.

I can only agree with you. Thank you a million times for the time you took and all the knowledge you shared. I pinned your comment. As I am sure you understand, given how incredibly smart and detailed you seem to be, I was mostly speaking about sanctions in general. Ukraine is a good example of when the equation between economic trade and peace is simply not true. I think it is pretty obvious why Russia invaded Ukraine. In real life in front of the camera, I did touch on this a little bit, but decided to edit it out from the video, because that isn't what the video is about. The question why Russia invaded Ukraine in the first place and the abhorrent nature/ethics of the war is a different topic. There's only so much one can include in a short KZbin video lol. Generally speaking, the west has been shooting ever-lasting sanctions across the world for a long time, and largely, they have not accomplished the intended goal. My concern is the same with using medicine that doesn't bite; the body will grow immunity towards the medicine instead. About locking people up in Kaliningrad. I absolutely understand your perspective, and I am glad you just made that public. I did hear the same from many Poles I spoke with, so seemingly a popular opinion over there. I don't fully blame the west here. Really, it is Russia by the end of the day that has made every other bordering nation scared like crazy for their imperialist agenda (a rational fear, I am sure we both agree on!). Poland may have one line of argumentation, and I believe Lithuania is aiming for a general "de-russification", I think (haven't investigated this further). I personally, of course, can't help feeling very bad for anyone wrongfully "jailed". I have a little bit of a credence much like the doctor, "first do no harm". I have a feeling that the number of sabotage attacks and similar nefarious acts from Russian agents inside Poland has not been reduced even though Kaliningrad is being contained? I don't generally believe in border control, except for excluding permanent migrants based on too much of a cultural misfit. Look, I want you to know that your comment means a whole lot. Not just to me, but to anyone else reading video comments. I am very happy you took time and shared so many facts and insights.

Yes, Sir! This was one of the game plans. Or be in the region for less than 3 days (registration required after 3 or 7 days, not sure which). Although it would be a little bit of an insurance, I am pretty sure they would just tell me that they don't care because they are not the Federal Migration Service. But at least I would count on blindly not getting into troubles due to the obvious effort of myself to comply. The big problem for me currently is exchanging money lol. I went to two exchange offices who said no. But I am not sure if that is because they didn't speak a word English or because they didn't have any rubles 😂

You are very wrong about economic growth in Russia and that sanctions do not work. Economic growth in Russia results solely from the increase in arms production, production has decreased in other sectors, including the production and export of gas, crude oil and fuels - GAZPROM, the sponsor of the Champions League, has been recording a loss for the second year because its production and sales of gas fell by half, compared to 2021. Russia has replaced a European customer (for oil and gas) with a customer from China and India who forces large discounts, pays late and not in dollars or euros but in rupees or yuan. The sanctions primarily affect the Russian arms industry and production, which must import Western parts and components via Turkey and Kazakhstan - much more expensively and in smaller quantities. And in some cases, such as passenger aviation, this is not possible at all, because Boeing and Airbus strictly control the sale of their parts. The fact that Russia appropriated all the leased planes is a different story. Russian supermarkets are well stocked because there are no direct sanctions on food and medicines, and by checking the operation of sanctions there, you will confirm your (false) belief that sanctions make no sense. In dictatorships such as Russia, Iran or Cuba, the so-called an ordinary person doesn't matter anyway - the regime focuses on maintaining power and eliminating all those who can take that power away from it. As a result, sanctions hit the regime and its needs, which are a priority, not the well-being of ordinary people.

Thank you for your detailed comment. In the video, I did not comment on sanctions against Russia as it pertains to the war, well, except locking up the people in Kaliningrad which is one sanction I would like to vehemently dismiss as being dumb in every shape and form imaginable (I am talking about short-term cross-border tourism, not long-term Russian immigration or rather the goal to "derussify" bordering states). One can only speculate what the war capability of Russia would have been without the sanctions, and in this regard I personally reason that the sanctions have probably been effective (to some level of degree). Or in other words, Russia would have been "more successful" without the Western sanctions. I am negative towards sanctions in general - which was emphasized, I hoped, by a burn-in comment at 11:35. I do agree that Russia's GDP growth is fueled by the war, which is what I meant by the burnt-in video comment "one could argue they are borrowing from their own future" at 10:23. Well, one could also argue that the level of innovation that was forced upon them as Western companies and services left the market, will yield positive results for many years to come. See, this is a very tricky subject. Again, I am only against sanctions generally speaking. You wrote that "sanctions hit the regime and its needs, which are a priority, not the well-being of ordinary people". This is a form of willful thinking, or superstition, in my opinion. The reality (?) is quite the opposite, of which Iran and Cuba are good examples of. For how many more years do you want to sanction these countries (read; PEOPLE) before confessing that no intended change took place? Take Russia, as another example. Putin's approval rate has shoot up since the war in Ukraine. Why on earth we seem to believe that by punishing a regime's subordinates they will become friendly towards us I don't know. In my opinion, it will have the opposite effect. The regime's propaganda of the West being an enemy is only strengthen.

@@themartinandersson But the World does not end in the West - Iran or Cuba can and do trade freely with the rest of the world (BRICKS) - "ordinary people" can be supplied with food, clothing, medicines, phones and whatever they need. Western sanctions on the supply of higher technologies, weapons, processors, military and industrial electronics hit the regimes - their military and industrial capabilities. Moreover, regimes can buy similar things, e.g. in China, as long as China wants to sell them. The US has recently been tightening the financial noose around Russia, threatening sanctions against banks that handle transactions with Russia - this turns out to be very effective and most banks in Turkey, China and other countries are withdrawing from business with Russians so as not to lose access to the Western financial system (SWIFT) and to many times larger transactions with West.

Its quite harsh for us to sanction the shit out of them, which in reality mainly hurts the average Russian and barely touches the Kreml elite which avoids sanctions through countries as Kazak, Armenia, China, Turkey etc. :/ Very strong of you to try and drive a RV through Kaliningrad, modigt :)

In special cases yes. But 99% of the people are locked up. I agree that the sanctions hurt regular people like crazy, whilst the elite are barely touched. I can't remember exactly how much but the Russian elite's assets frozen abroad is no more than something like 1-1.5% of their wealth (but don't quote me lol). I.e. they probably don't care very much! Inflation is higher 😂 Maybe that was a bad example, because this is a niche and well-targeted sanction (something I am not necessarily against). But the point is that even when we target individuals the sanction still doesn't accomplish it's intended goal, which - I believe - is extremely rare. I can give you another example. We don't export necessarily replacement components for civilian aircraft any more. So Russia's airplane accidents have skyrocketed. Civilian people literally dying. Of course one could argue that Russia shouldn't be flying unsafe airplanes and simply stop all their air traffic lol, but this I suppose is one thing we can count on them not doing. So we are culpable. It's very hard to dismiss responsibility. Oh the outcry we hear when just one airplane falls out of the sky in the Western world for whatever reason. Now civilian Russian airplanes are dropping like bird shit because of our sanctions and we don't hear a thing about it.

Also, why would you want to go to Kaliningrad, see the rural low GDP areas? Cheap vodka? Any why with a vehicle, risky considering we (EU members) started confiscating russian reg-cars recently.
