[@marcinlis8965]

Great video. I really enjoyed watching it, Russian people seem to be very friendly and they smile a lot. It makes me want to come to Russia. :)

[@Scrat335]

Russians are learning to smile at non Russians. Normally they don't smile like westerners. It makes them feel like the village idiot and they say "a smile without reason is a waste". It's considered insincere. I happen to agree, it's annoying to have everyone smiling at you when they don't really mean it and couldn't care less.

[@magicmark1837]

Scrat335 ....perhaps you are often looking through yourself when you assume others who are smiling are insincere and couldn't care less.

[@Scrat335]

@@magicmark1837 Been on every continent but Australia. Just last night finished a 2500 mile loop through the American West. Normal people don't just smile at strangers unless they're pressured in some way. Cashiers for instance. The good thing is with normal people you can always get a smile. You just have to take the time and make the effort .

Kyle's Russian is actually so good. People don't understand how hard learning Russian is.

[@ethiop_frum]

You can't learn Russian, if You not in Russia. Why? Because You can't fall in Russian language. Russian is far brother of Lingva Latina! But our Alphabet was dedicated from Greece (bros. Kirill and Methodius). That is cause of your problems. Vale, amicus!

[@gumshew2007]

The food festival reminded me of the ones we have in the US, very family oriented, lots of food vendors with music entertainment. I'm not a big alcohol drinker but many festivals have alcohol served, however, we don't see the alcohol related violence at the festivals. As for the oysters, my family was raised eating oysters except that I can't stand oysters. Looks like people had a great time, a lot of fun, thanks for posting and sharing.

"Imposed sanctions on it's own people" by imposing sanctions on foreign companies to ensure local business growth? Interesting way of putting it.

[@vulgarisopinio]

Mocsk Yeah, that was a very strange statement.

[@samable2853]

He is anti-russia, this is not first time he making inappropriate political statement to undermine russia, it makes me wonder if he is a true russian .

[@vulgarisopinio]

sam able I think he is what they call a “liberal” in Russia (or more rudely “liberast”) - a pro-western person opposed to the current government. There are particularly many “liberals” in Ekaterinburg - the hometown of the former president Boris Yeltsin.

[@MisanthropyFerret]

the thing is our "business" is mostly government-related. I was able to buy french Brie in Auchan for kinda 200 roubles/0.5kg before sanctions. Now i don`t even eat brie because of tripled price and terrible, horrifying taste of "russian brie"

[@vulgarisopinio]

MisanthropyFerret When did you acquire such a love for Brie that you can’t survive without it? In my opinion this is one of the most overhyped types of cheese

[@stevenguien5479]

Oh dear, how Russian go to the food festival without piroski and kvas ? I used to study in Leningrad, back to early 80s, and our breakfast in hurry and on the way to the university, was always piroski either filled with pork or cabbage, actually the latter was my favorite! Sad to hear from some of my friends who visit Russia recently, they said no more piroski on the street of St Petersburg and even hard to find my lovely refreshment of old times - kvas!

[@snejok888]

[@orim298s]

Great video about local food. Looks like it was not easy to transition from imported foods to domestic production, but it did help the locals get into the market which they otherwise would not have. Sometimes you need a stimulant to bring innovation when you do not have what people want. Thanks for showing them.

[@allanhawkins4578]

Looked like a great day out, I am with you on this. why no Russian food? I love Russian food, which is good because I have a Russian girlfriend, so I pretty much have to like Russian food.

Lol, government sanctions their own people? If you want your cheese that you miss so much, ask your Western friends to send you. Cheer to all Russian farmers who, instead of walking around and complaining on youtube, are working to replace the products that were once imported and help their country to achieve self-sufficiency.

[@samable2853]

[@igory3789]

I liked to watch your channel untill the comment about imposing sanctions against own people. What a f.. you are talking about? The sanctions you mentioned were introduced in response to US /EU sanctions and were directed to diary and meat products import. And that was a huge step to give Russian market back to Russians. I thought you are a decent Russian, but you are not in fact. Your channel not on my watch list anymore. Bye.

Russia is a country that flies into space, builds airplanes, ships and nuclear plants and has its own search engine... It would be naive to think Russians can't can produce any pathetic Swiss cheese if they really want to. Except they won't call it "Swiss" cheese.

[@WRXMSK]

@@igory3789 He probably shares liberalist bullshit ideas spread by scumbags like Navalniy. But in reality Russia did replace imported food with a local one, and made this as an answer to the sanctions imposed by US and their European obedient doggies. Russia is becoming more and more self sufficient and that's good. Even regarding European, especially Italian cheeses, which I do like much, at first I was quite upset, but after a couple of years I discovered that our local cheesemakers are able to produce cheeses almost as good as the Italian ones. This regards mostly to soft cheeses, and there is a lot of space for improvement of the quality of aged cheeses however

[@evgenybadredinov1562]

Great video indeed. Very realistic. A valuable piece of evidence precisely because of its unpolished character. Not sure what exactly the vlogger referred to by saying the Russian government "imposed sanctions against its own people". As far as I know, the Russian government has been providing incentives for the development of domestic farming, in response to Western sanctions. And this has been a big success, particularly given the decades of failed agricultural policies during the Soviet and early post-Soviet period.

I would like to attend a Russian food festival. It makes sense that Russians would like to try cuisine other than Russian cuisine. I sent one of my Russian friends a recipe for American chili (with beans). He found the ingredients and made it for dinner one day. I think he had mixed feelings about it but his wife hated it! 😄 I want to experience as much of this interesting country as I can from Moscow to Vladivostok! What a place!

[@RussianPlus]

Actually I love American chili. One of my favorite American foods. Can you send me your recipe?

[@wardrm5598]

​@@RussianPlus Here is the recipe for you Slava. This is a fairly traditional recipe with beans. Some don't like it with beans but beans do add to the flavor and comfort factor. It is a perfect meal on cold winter days! Kyle might be able to help you with this. ) Cowboy Chili Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef 1 large onion chopped 2 10 oz. cans Rotel (we used chunky), drained 1 Rotel can water (these are simply a can of diced chile peppers) 1 15 oz can tomato sauce 1 16 oz can kidney beans, drained (or your bean choice) 1/3 cup chile powder (not sure if you have chile power or a substitute in your city but it needs something like chili powder ½ tsp cumin 2 tsp oregano powder 2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika 2 tsp salt 3 tsp minced garlic Instructions In a large pot brown the hamburger over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper or seasoning of your choice, to taste. As the meat begins to brown, stir in the onions. Continue cooking until the meat has fully browned and onions are tender. If there is a lot of excess grease, drain. Stir in the Rotel, water, tomato sauce, beans, chipotle peppers or relish. Stir in the seasonings. Adjust taste, if needed. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil. Boil a couple minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve warm with cheese, onions, sour cream, etc. (You may add shredded cheese and/or cream on top.) Enjoy.

Man, be proud of your country!! The govt didn’t impose sanctions on its own people. Instead, the government saw the stupidity in giving away Russia’s foreign exchange to other countries and helping making them rich whilst Russia was being treated like trash. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say and the reverse sanctions has helped Russia become self reliant and developed its own industries instead of relying on others and being subjected to unjustified sanctions. Plenty of of other countries facing the same situation should learn from Russia. No one can do it better than yourself and Russia has proven that.
