Those ramps on thw front of the buildings are mostly for strollers/baggies, granny shopping trolley bags and not puposely for wheelchair access but it can be used by wheelchair users too. Because most of these old buildings with 3 floors do not have lift access and there wouldn't be likey a wheelchair person living there even though there could be elderly ones with walkers possibly. But some disabled use crutches to go upstairs and park the wheelchair in the foyer of the buildings.

Of course, in any unclear situation, say that this is Russian propaganda. In addition, the Kremlin is so rich that it pays at least several billion people in the world. And if you need to blame someone, for example, if the light went out, a fence fell, the car’s engine stalled, a healthy tooth was removed, a thief broke into the house, you didn’t like the movie, and so on, then blame Putin or Russia for it. By the way, the Russians are so harsh that they elect the presidents of Western countries.😂😂😂

Very good video, but this goes both ways. Just as Russia has good places and bad places. The US has good places and bad places, yet I see so many Russians commenting about how bad the US is. One of the recent references I saw was “United States of Misery”. I ask them where they have visited in the US and they respond that they’ve never actually been there. They are basing their opinion of the US on the videos they see focusing on the homelessness. As a host of a Russian, I have great respect for Russian people and culture. I also know we are more alike than not and it’s time for us to see each other as common friends and not enemies, to realize each country has their positives and negatives, but this doesn’t define us as a people.

[@garry-t5056]

You have imparted some excellent advice here Sam for anyone contemplating moving to Russia from another country. Personally, the idea of you being employed as a propagandist by the Russian authorities had never entered my head. Your content is nothing like any of the propaganda put out by the official channels. I’m sure you are aware that the relative political stability enjoyed for the past 80 years by people living in the US and western Europe is now in turmoil to a degree, resulting in a sense of unease among many of the populous. I suspect that’s why there is now a greater interest being shown by people in making the move to Russia, you know, ‘the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence’. This, coupled with the fact that until recent decades Russia was completely off limits for westerners, has probably sparked the interest of many. As you quite rightly point out though, people should research, learn at least a bit of the language and have a few temporary stays, for at least a month at a time, before making the leap. Having worked in Moscow, albeit 30 years ago now, I can confirm that it is a completely different culture from the west or was back then. Some people will embrace it, adapt to it and love every bit of it and others will just find it is not for them. One thing I would like to question you on, and I am not having a go at you here, but you often mention that western media portrays Russia in a poor light. Whilst I agree that the actions of the Russian government on the world stage are firmly criticised, I have never seen any programmes/read any articles that are judgemental on the lives of ordinary Russian people. So, I don’t know where you get the idea that we are constantly being bombarded with anti-Russian propaganda. I know it’s now fashionable to knock the BBC, but I honestly cannot recall seeing/hearing any form of overt propaganda spread by them, regardless of what is said on the various social media platforms.

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

Hi, I’m jealous that you were able to visit Moscow in the 90’s and see what it was like. The anti Russian propaganda is ingrained into people’s minds. If you ask the average person what they think life is like in Russia, they will say that it’s pretty grim!

[@emilylightfoot8994]

I love the way you beat the KZbin algorithm with this one - it was literally the first video in my list when I opened KZbin this morning! (Your clips usually rank a little lower in my feed, or don't show up at all and I have to go looking for them). Keep up the propaganda you Russian propagandist, you!

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s about showing the bad or comparing Russia with America!

[@mariasofia5257]

When was the last time you visited the UK Sam? I immigrated to the UK 22 years ago from a country that had descended into chaos very quickly, and sadly I see the same happening here. It will take a very drastic change to turn this ship around now. I imagine many others, like myself, have been watching the Russian political and economical trajectory and know that it is a ship on a good course although perhaps not there yet. It is very courageous to pack your whole life and family off to a foreign country but as long as they have a solid plan and know it will be hard at first. Hard is better than having your children taken off you by a government that hates your God, your beliefs and just truth in general.

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

I completely understand you, but I honestly think that people are not willing to see the reality of Russia. I’m uploading a video about it today.

[@joe_ninety_one5076]

A few points. Only a small proportion of people should criticise you for showing Russia as it is. There cannot be many people who object to this. It is perfectly legitimate. You are correct in honestly pointing out that as a guest in a foreign country you consider it to be impolite to show the negatives, or many of them anyway. You are admitting to an understandable bias. There is no shame in this. Everybody in the world is biased for one reason or another. You are incorrect in saying that this is necessary to correct bias in the western media. The western media carry very few stories about how horrible life is in Russia. Most negative stories are on a political level, which you expats generally (and sensibly) steer well clear of. The advice on 'try before you buy' when considering immigration to Russia is very sensible. Good luck, Sam.

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

Thanks for your feedback. The average British citizen is conditioned throughout his life to think that Russia is a horrible place with lack of choice in the shops, poor infrastructure and girls who are desperate to leave.

In 19 hours you got more than 10 thousands views on a video you made just walking around your neighborhood( Having 50 K subscribers certainly helps)Wow, it sounds like success.😊. At 17:40 it says Lenin 1870 to "infinity" and not double zeros followed by the " hammer and sickle sign.( probably written by some hard core Communist) Anyways, if this is your neighborhood then how much rent do you pay? Can you show us the inside of your flat?

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

Hi mate, I don’t live in this area. I rent a house in another part of town. I am building a house currently. You can see it from t other videos.

[@rayray2615]

​@@SamsRussianAdventures Hi Sam. Thanks for your reply. In that case you can show us your rented house and how much is its rent. Yes, I saw your video in which you show your unfinished house and the different options you are considering. Here are my 2 cents 😉 1. Sit quietly on your couch, put your feet up,relax and sip on a nice cup of tea/coffee and cosider this, 2. What type of house will make you happy? its size, interior, type of windows, guest house with banya ets. 3.I think the smart thing to do is to ( if you can get the money) is to make the small guest house with banya on your proprty and then start to live there rent free with the feelings of ownership and control. Now you have time to get the financing to finish the main building. 4. Learn skills to do stuff like painting, plumbing ,electric work etc which will come handy to save money. So let me know what do you think about this strategy?

[@DIREWOLFx75]

"showing the bad already" And about a magnitude more "bad" that doesn't actually exist at all or at "best" not outside of rare fringe or weird oneoff cases. "20 years" Which also means you've pretty much lived in Russia from when it WAS just out of the really bad turn of the 90s and then seen all the improvements since then. . And yeah, just instantly moving to another nation without having ever even been there? That's ALWAYS a BAD BAD idea. It will generally work fine if it's between nations that are very similar and lots of people understand the languages, like here Sweden and Norway and Denmark, but to somewhere you have no idea of the language OR the culture and don't really know anyone? That's bad regardless what nation. OTOH, based on what i have seen and based on personal contacts in Russia, the opportunities to get a better life are blatantly better in Russia than many "richer western" nations. It's absolutely not a place to go if your intention is to "send money back home", simple because wages in Russia are low compared to most developed nations. However, the costs of living are even lower than the wages, so you can either live nicer or save up for something big like a house, considerably faster. There are exceptions of course and they're more notable now and the last 2+ years than ever, but they can generally be avoided. "Lenin" Not zeroes. 1870-INFINITY. A horizontal symmetric 8 is the infinity sign. And yes, walkie-talkies is a nice format, well except for when whoever is holding the camera is moving it around too much(no problem with that for you if you can keep this steady), it's great getting to see views, landscapes, buildings, people, everything you would never get to see otherwise.

Thanks for addressing that issue. Even though I have watched hundreds of foreign English speaking video's about life in Russia, I too at times wonder if what I see is 100 % true because it is such a contrast from the USSR era of propaganda and life then. Russia has made a tremendous change for the good since that time thanks to President Putin. I realize you have been showing the not so glamorous part of town as you walked!

So my two cents, nice of you to make a video like this but in my view, it's futile. I have found about 85-90% of the audience on KZbin in both Russia and the United States are just gullible beyond belief. Absolutely no critical thinking skills. I like Discord because I find the people more geniuine there and I'll still do internet gaming with Russians. KZbin though, your not going to persuade a lot of people. As for Real Reporter, I think he sunk his own ship over time. Putting his point of view on the table, too many flashy graphics and background music. It's not a TV channel and too much of that is a turn off for me.
