Eli, please know that you are one of the very few sources left that people around the globe can still access who consistently and professionally illustrate reality. Truth about different cultures. Truth about travel. Your work enables those who are restricted from traveling in the manner we used to, a wonderful method of staying connected. You must keep doing what you’re doing. We all must. I cannot change the political realities anywhere. You’ve always presented both sides. That must continue. Your example of always learning and sharing is an inspiration for many others. It’s very difficult to set-aside the propaganda from east and west, study the history of how we arrived where we find ourselves, and assist those caught in the cross-fire. As a military veteran, I have no words for the common Russian and Ukrainian families who are paying the ultimate price. It’s beyond tragic. All I’m trying to do is try and understand how all the pieces perhaps fit together. I’m a student of history. Your videos help me continue to expand that knowledge. As a creator, you must do as you believe best. You matter, and are deeply appreciated by so many. Health and prosperity. Your heart is documenting a certainly unsettling era. You are journaling an extraordinary personal chapter for world history. Be well. Stay safe. Take one day at a time. Your efforts must survive these days of uncertainty. Thank you for providing a link by which those of us who appreciate your work may contribute to its continued success. 🇷🇺☺️

Lately I've been watching Russian KZbinrs with much interest. It confirms to me my impression that people all over the world are much the same. I am an old Cold War military retired person (retired in 1991 after the Soviet Union was dissolved), and I'm well aware of both media and government's use of propaganda to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, we live in a world run by politicians. The best we can do is try to select the best ones when we vote, but that's no guarantee we'll get the best ones if they lie to us. There's too many bad actors in the world today for me to live to see a day the world is at peace. You are young, so I hope for you and all the young people out there, that you see a day when there is truly peace in the world. Just so you know, stores may not be closing here in the USA, but our prices are also going up 10 to 50 percent depending on the product. Events in the world effect prices worldwide, due to supply and demand and impacts on the supply chain. Our leaders tell us it's the price we must pay to influence events on the world stage. That may work for the politicians and the rich, but the less fortunate always suffer with price inflation and devalued currency. May God help us all.

You're absolutely right Eli. As an American, I can tell you definitively that Americans who HATE Russians, are, in fact, the same leftist ignorants who HATE their fellow Americans who are conservative and feel grateful for their country. These hateful leftist people and their woke cultists are indoctrinated by their democrat government and their corporate media propaganda machine. They have been HATING on Russia since their criminal queen Hillary lost to Trump. Trump in turn was falsely accused of being a puppet of Putin and colluding with Russia. Even though Hillary made millions selling Putin American uranium. All false accusations for political gain and voter manipulation of the ignorant leftist mobs. They all ignore, for example, that the coup d'etat and Maidan massacre in Kyiv in 2014 was launched by Obama and his imbecile Ukraine grifting clown Biden. All in an effort to install NATO in Ukraine. The grifters in D.C. and the military industrial complex now want to prolong the war because there's much money to be made off the backs of the poor people of Ukraine who on average make $300 U.S. per month, while a single Javelin missile costs $175,000+ U.S. Do the math...

This city is bleeding. More than two thousand civilians have been killed by Russian bombs and Russian soldiers during this Russian war. Taken under complete siege by Russian troops, it heroically continues to resist with no light, no heat, no water, no food, no medicine. During this time, 72 children were born here. Thirty-five boys and thirty-seven girls. Life in the midst of death. Light in the dark. But how long will these babies survive without help? How long will their little hearts resist?

Your culture and people have fascinated me since the 90's when I had a friend go on a missionary trip over there. The photos and stories he told of the beauty and people was just truly amazing. We, as Americans, have been brain washed that the Russians are all evil and mean people. I see that it couldn't be further from the truth. As a now retired combat Infantryman, we were taught the same thing about Iraqi's and other middle eastern people.

I'm not suggesting the US going into certain countries and especially the aftermath of their action was either well thought out and there were actions perpetrated by US military personnel that was illegal, some of which have been brought to justice, but there were legitimate reasons (whether you personally and with them or not). The reasons given by Putin as to the "special military exercises" aka invasion in Ukraine makes no sense. To free Ukraine from neo Nazis that have overthrown their government? It's just not true.

@@harmless6813 I get it, but what we're talking about here is "moral arrogance", demanding others simply die or suffer in a futile gesture which we probably would not do ourselves with our comforts, safety, and laws. The time to avoid these situations is BEFORE they ripen. Like stopping WWI, not treating Germany so harshly after WWI, and helping all the Soviet States (including Russia) to develop once their dictatorship collapsed. Then you don't end up with all-powerful states in which people need to die resisting. But there are politicians and industries that want conflict, so long-term humanitarian planning rarely occurs worldwide. I'm just saying that the time to resist was BEFORE there was a dictatorial lock on power. I think telling people to fall on their own swords at this point is unrealistic, and doesn't truly help address the problem of dictatorial power which is now, unfortunately, already established.

F*** that noise. Russia is a bully and America hates bullies. America hates Russia now. It’s people need to feel what Ukrainian civilians are feeling. So sure make them feel accepted and when they come to America, let them get treated like they test Ukrainians🤫🤫🤫

Hi Eli! That really nice from you to share your expérience. I'm a french citizen living in Québec for almost 25 years now. I love the way you talk about your country and "The world" Yes there is so much to do to make people understand that life doesn't revolve around money and job, but first of all (I believe), it is about harmony. You have a beautiful heart and soul. The best to you Eli!

[@prempoojaran]

Eli, I watches several of your videos in the last few months, you’ve managed to show people Russia through your eyes and experience. I’ve loved how you show every day life and events, you have a very good story telling techniques and it comes from your heart. Every nation has good and bad , and we all know it. You have been a bridge to various cultures and a wonderful one at that👍❤️love from the States.

@Lilo is the baddest You cannot ban VPN practically speaking, as it is a software that establishes a private network so it is more secure so that people not only know where you actually are but you can also exchange information via secure network, which VPN is actually used as. Most software companies and financial institutions use VPN when you work from home outside of your company location (outside of your company network). It is not only used to hide where you are, it is used more to communicate information securely so no one else on WWW can see your email or messages other than the intended recipient(s).

I can’t help but commend you on your way commenting. This is what promotes peace. We speak our minds in a respectful manner instead of insults and name calling.

Oh Eli, thank you for being a beautiful optimist in this sick world. I can see why you stay in Russia of course. Keep doing your work - it helps us. We need more people like you.

You are a kind person, I can tell. Just feel blessed that your homes are not being bombed and your friends and family do not have to leave your country for fear of dying. Pray for Ukraine.

It is not the people to blame it is the government leaders.

[@MultiDoolin]

@@dwainerdjon5559 Your statement is absurd. Ukraine has wanted to be in NATO because Russia is aggressively trying to claim their country. They took Crimea, and now have attacked Ukraine WITHOUT PROVOCATION. Wake up to this stupid war. Russians will be hated by the world forever!

I’m learning Russian so thanks for putting the transliteration alongside the Russian. When I watch videos I look at the words and try and get comfortable with the alphabet.

[@jackiegraham4072]

Don’t let trolls make you feel bad for living your life. You are Russian and have every right to share personal experiences and opinions of your own country. Wether people agree with it or not.

Could you have a word with your God and ask HIM to give the Ukrainians more manpads and ATGMs. Oh, and more freezer trucks - they can only get 350 Russians into each in Dnipro. Much obliged.

Eli, no need to apologize for your content. Every country has good sides and bad sides. I watch your channel for the positive side of Russia. I’m glad you are continuing to do videos. Nothing wrong with being proud of your country and your people.

[@Lachlan_n]

i mean sure all countrys have bad sides... but mass genoicide of civillians and the biggest war since ww2 is certainly a "bad side"

[@Raja-mc3zt]

@@Lachlan_n Well, I doubt Russia will feel safe if NATO missiles are being deployed on their borders. So for sure they will be provoked. Especially when the West could work their way to destabilise democratically elected government of Ukraine and install their puppet government. NATO now advocating for peace very well know they were t trying all means to trigger this war over two decades.

I have enjoyed your videos all morning. They are beautiful and I enjoy seeing a side of Russia from a native. We are all confronted with difficult decisions these days. Hate never gets us anywhere anyway. I prefer optimism as well. I too am waiting for peace.
