I was born in 72 and remember the days of the cold war. We were taught in schools that Russia was the enemy. I learned differently, however, when I visited Russia for the first time. It us refreshing to see people, on both sides, realizing that we cannot be held responsible for what our leaders say and do. I have many friends in Russia, and consider them family. If only people.would see past the political smoke screens they would realize we are all the same, we all want the same out of life.

[@dalepremo3695]

This is an outstanding format and it is really encouraging to see and hear what people think. These ordinary people bear no ill will to the average person in America and their attitudes on this are very mature. Essentially, "they" are "us." I salute them and feel the same as they do. Once again, it shows how average, everyday people feel about their fellow world residents. It's despotic, incompetent and corrupt world leaders that people have disdain for, and that's as it should be. And kudos to Nina - she was fabulous!

[@nazariy9208]

would you salute them if russia was bombing your country?

[@dalepremo3695]

​@@nazariy9208 Of course I would. That's the whole point of both the video and my comments. Those people interviewed were mostly just decent, fair, open-minded and understand everyday common people and I respected them as would any decent and honest person like you, as well, I'm sure. Justifiable hate for the enemy is best reserved for governments; i.e. evil, corrupt leaders, politicians and similar individuals and groups that betray their countries for lust for greed and/or power. I think those people interviewed recognized that and they deserve credit. I wish we all could be as perceptive and wise as they are.

​ It's your choice to stay were you are. I almost mentioned this before, but hoped at the time that it would be unnecessary. Having been bombed myself many years ago, and while certainly fearing and hating it, I still stand by my principles. You know nothing about me and yet you "doubt" what I say. That takes some nerve, but is not surprising for someone who can't distinguish between civilians and leaders/combatants. To answer your question about what's the matter with the American government - it's that they should have ever sent weapons or money to a country where America has no strategic interest and even more that they would continue to fund a country of ingrates with corrupt leaders that betray their own people. BTW, IF you're in a country without electricity, which I could say I doubt if I were like you, it looks like you have enough "electricity" to post propaganda.

[@wdepaepe]

I like the "street talks" channel where Nina tries to figure out what the Russians think of the Americans (I am Dutch). However I would have liked that Nina asked the WHY question more: 0:58 "I think they are deprived of the truth" WHY do you think that? 1:05 "they are the ones who are confused" WHY? 1:17 "I'm disgusted with them" WHY? "Their behavior..." (too vague). I understand that asking deeper questions may lead to an awkward situation with a strange interviewer in the street. But now, all I have learned is that many Russians think Americans are people too (no surprise I think), but they (= the Russians) feel sorry that they (= the Americans) are being manipulated. Why do the Russians think that? PS: I am a big fan of your deep dive reports 👍

[@mvarbanoff]

I used to work for American companies for 12 years , talking to more than 70000 American citizens. All i can say is Americans are very, very, very naive and ignorant. So much , that they've already detached from the rest of the world. And naive person can harm you, without his own knowledge of doing so. Just like Germans and Japanese realized how they've been led in WW2. I hope that answers all your questions.

[@Ste_VO]

Fantastic reporting! Keep it up! Nice new format! Welcome Nina!

[@Deetroiter]

I’d like them to know that majority of Americans feel the same way about them. No hate or negative opinions about them, that they’re just people living in a different country. I know myself any Russian I’ve ever met has been extremely kind, generous, and thoughtful. A bit strong in character sometimes, but they’d literally give you the shirt off of their back without a second thought if you needed it. I believe it’s our governments who keep stirring the pot and don’t want it’s citizens to get along for whatever reason. Now, in the internet age we can all see through the nonsense and see that each of us really have so much more in common than difference. Let the governments hate each other. That’s their problem.

You mistyped stay and said say, which is funny because free speech is not a part of Russia. People get arrested for putting up flowers after war crimes killed a bunch of innocent people.

Western democracies are not like terrorist states, with an evil dictator, who commit genocide on their neighbours. Although the average people may be similar, the state controlled media dominates people's viewpoint in one, where in the other there is freedom of choice. Not saying that there are no lies of brainwashing, put people do have more freedom of choice.

The fact that they are so quick to defend the ear-tickling narratives they have been fed with their mother's milk that tells them that they are so exceptional that they may operate beyond judgment of good or evil does not bode well for the weight of their karmic load or the final disposition of their souls.

Welcome, Nina, and thank you for helping us understand the thinking of the Russian people. Now, my observations (having traveled and lived abroad extensively) is this: the importance of a free press for the public to gain information. I think in Russia, the free press has been stopped by the government. So, older folks that only use TV are getting only government propaganda. Younger folks, and mainly mostly urban, not rural, use other internet methods to get news, so they tend to get a more balanced view. Of course there are always exceptions. In the US, we have a free and open press, but most of the 24-hour press tends to bias one way or the other. Therefore, if a person only gets their news from one source, then their thinking will have that bias. Unfortunately that is most Americans. Also, the social media algorithms tend to push more content into our news feeds that supports what we have already been watching. The goal of social media companies is to keep us watching their content, and they know that getting us angry, to one side or another, will keep us watching their content. So we have to be careful to keep using unbiased media, or to keep a balance in what we watch. Most people don't do that, so you tend to see people that are very right wing or very left wing, and the old days of compromise and dignified respect in media and politics are nearly gone.

My family survived in 1990s because of American help. I'm still grateful to them for humanitarian aid, for save place to many people from Russia, especially scientists. If any disaster G-d forbid happens to america I would personally welcome them and send humanitarian aid. We also have large religious ties. A lot of Jewish, Buddhist, thelemic, Wiccan teachers in Russia are from US or learned from US teachers. I have friends who live in US or made startups there.

[@MetallicReg]

Be careful. Americans think that they have freedoms that they actually don’t. And they think that they know the social dynamics in other countries better than the people living in them. It is sadly a very close minded thinking over there that is pushed by extremely propagandist and selective reporting (which many Americans only understand once they immigrated to some European country). While there are other limits in such countries like in this case - people are oftentimes aware of them. Especially the Internet age has allowed to put many things into perspective. This wasn’t as successful for US though since they are caught up in their own bubble.

[@AndreasConfirmed]

What you have in the West is an illusion of freedom and democracy. In the times of the Cold War there was definitely more freedom in the West than in USSR, but now it has changed. I am living in Germany, and I think there is more freedom in Russia than in Germany right now.

I feel the same way about their government but as people they're among the most friendly you could possibly find. I've only been to the US a couple times but I've always been treated very well, talked to by complete strangers, got invited to bbqs, college parties etc while there. I even had an American gf for some time in Japan. I can't say the same thing about Russians (but also Germans and Scandinavians), they tend to be too direct and sometimes rude. Even on Aeroflot and at the airport in Moscow very few people greeted me with a smile. I'm not saying I don't like Russians, I just find it hard to communicate with them. But I'm half Italian and half Japanese and in both countries people aren't very direct and you're supposed to read between the lines so it's probably just the fact that I'm not used to very direct people.

[@sergeymas2545]

This is a feature of our mentality. We even have a saying "laughter for no reason is a sign of foolishness." It is not customary for us to always smile at everyone even when we meet. Russians are also often considered rude because of the peculiarities of our language and the construction of sentences in it. For example, at our dinner table it is customary not to ask, but to demand, as it were, to serve salt. When "pass me the salt please" is used in English, we would normally say "give me the salt please". And such a speech construction sounds rude in English.

The absence of hypocrisy is not rudeness. With a smile, we meet those whom we are really happy to see: friends, relatives, acquaintances, and so on.

[@claudiusgothicus1568]

@@vladimirsavinov Being kind to people is not hypocrisy. It is a way for everyone to feel comfortable with his surroundings. Being rude on the other hand is neither directness nor honesty. It is simply primitivism. By the way, I know very well americans and russians. Russians are not only unpolite but also often very selfish and unwelcoming. They tend not to keep promises and often work behind the scenes. This what historically is called a byzantine-type culture. Germans are the same. The scandinavians not.

[@vladimirsavinov]

@@claudiusgothicus1568 Smiling at everyone in a row is not a manifestation of kindness. And such behavior has nothing to do with politeness. You are engaged in substitution of concepts and izuitism. You claim that you are not hypocritical, while ignoring the fact that the substitution of concepts is one of the forms of hypocrisy. And after that, you accuse the Russians of selfishness and impoliteness and unreliability. Do you even realize that with such statements you yourself discredit what you write? How can you trust the statements of a person like you if you are simply unable to understand the difference between a smile, politeness and rudeness? Have you ever heard of such things as cultural differences? Or are people in the West too arrogant to admit that their cultural characteristics are not international? In our culture, it is considered normal to be straightforward, to smile at those whom you are glad to see, and not at everyone.

Главное, чтобы войны подальше от них происходили, поэтому им плевать. Но, есть и другие люди, образованные, которые все понимают, держали в руках книги, но их меньшинство, к сожалению.
