I am of the generation that remembers the food queues in Russia. I remember Kruschev banging his shoe on the table. Nureyev defected in an airport and danced for us all. I remember McDonald's opening in Russia. We lived in hope but the ogligarchs grabbed the earths bounties. We are very aware of what Russia is like.

I protested outside the Russian Embassy In Canberra waving a blue & yellow flag. Other flags were Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Australian and Hungarian. It was encouraging to hear the car horns blaring their support for Ukraine as they passed. It was peaceful. I will be turning up again. I liked the way the Ukrainians sang. One person was considered an honorary Ukrainian for raising $70,000 to buy mine detecting equipment.

Just a few questions for the negative folks commenting: Is your country being invaded? Do you live in a totalitarian state? Are you a refugee? Is your country being bombed every day, missiles killing civilians? Do you live in fear of being killed every day? Is a foreign country creating a crisis with killing so many parents that there is a crisis with orphans? Is your income either gone or vastly diminished? Was your business smashed to pieces with bombs. Is your infrastructure being attacked? Electricity? Water? Gas? Just wondering.

[@ashleygoggs5679]

Problem is its not black and white. Putin has a hold over his people. he keeps a fine rope on the poverty line making sure his people care more about their way of life, working to pay the bills and providing for their families etc. many russians do not have time to think about things like politics and freedoms. Some may think this is stupid, but those who think its stupid dont live a life like this and dont understand how massive that is and how it gives putin free reign over the country. The people arnt invested in what hes doing they are invested in living. In rural parts of russia it wouldnt surprise me of the didnt even know there was a war going on. Poorer towns and villages done even have a toilet in their house. One thing worth mentioning is by demonizing the russian people we once again push them into the hands of putin. Its like when the west was fighting Isis, Taliban and Alqaeda. Terrorism branded mid easterns with the terrorist brush, they became alientated and fell more susceptible to being indoctrinated into joining these terrorist cells. This is the same in russia, the more the west alienates russian the more we push them towards putins agendas and his brainwashing propaganda. By causing hate we are feeding the cycle and it only ends up further benefiting Putin. At the same time by not allowing russians to leave their country even if itsbecuase they evade mobilisation this is causing russia enormous brain drain. They are loosing young, intelligent minds, minds that dont want to fuel a war machine, this is good for ukraine and its good for the west as we tap into knowledge and development. Another reason it benefits ukraine is it effects the russian economy, the less people in russia the less money there is meaning the war fund gets smaller drawing putin close to draining his resources. The more we take from russia the better it is for everyone, the west taps into newer intelligent minds, the economy collapses making putins war more and more unsustainable and for russia, it shows that putins war is hurting russia more then it is benefitting them. When putin starts to take everything this is when the people will start to think about their future.

There's a very good independent Russian KZbin channel 1420 that does lots of interviews e.g. on the streets of Moscow and various rural regions. It seems that so-called ordinary Russians are either too scared to say anything about politics or they believe all the official propaganda what they see on Russian tv channels. Especially older people on the countryside seem to act and think like they still live in the Soviet Union. It is quite revealing to see how passive most of Russians are, and many of them seem to believe Putin knows the best no matter what happens in Russia or Ukraine. Personally I think it very important to support Ukraine all the possible ways to win the war. Ukrainians are fighting for the whole free Europe, and Putin's plans need to be stopped. Finally, Olga, you are doing the great work on your channel!

[@Olga_Reznikova]

Yes, I guess 1420 will show you that majority exactly supports the war, so people are aware of what is happening and they are fine with that. Based on their answers you can understand why 143 millions can not do anything against government - because they are very fine with everything.

While they are not on the streets in Moscow openly protesting about the govt, they are not locked up (silenced) behind bars either.

Even when the situation stabilized, there were questions: What would you do? What will happen next? And for Americans like myself, this is the only war I can remember (and I'm an old guy) that was unambiguous - freedom vs. tyranny. No grey area.

Those are very valid points. I'd like to point out that even in Europe and North America a lot of people fall into the apathetic category, meaning they don't care about the government as long as they're not affected by its actions. The US came very close to a coup by a man who is as dangerous as Putin. Over a few decades, any country could become "Russia" with the right propaganda and power hungry "leader". All of the Russian KZbinrs I watch have left Russia, except one. Her name is Svetlana and she stated that she'll continue making videos about Russia that are mostly not political, except the occasional walk in the mall showing the impact of sanctions (there aren't many in her world). I'm not sure, but think she might have powerful supporters that aren't disclosed. You are genuine, that's why I like you and will keep following you.

But by being passive and not changing the situation of the war does not provide much difference from those who actively support it, and actively engage in it. I wish things were different, but for now, that's just what the situation is. Brave Ukrainian soldiers, men, women, and children, are dying to actively fight against the cruel and unjust death and destruction caused by putin-ork. Keep fighting the good fight.

Also, I wish I could speak Ukrainian as well as you speak English.🥰😍😘🤩

True, unfortunately many russian KZbinrs or foreigners making videos in russia mix the two differences in their videos, and the people commenting do to, this happens in almost all the videos I see!

Insane government does not last for long without support of population. The best example- Belarus. They also have dictator, but he doesn't dare to send their soldiers to Ukraine. Even with constant pressure from Putin - he can not, because he knows they will not fight.

The other children in her orphanage in russia told her that Her American family was going to Harvest her Organ's !!!! At 19 I laughed, now at 34 its Terrifying to think that men her age in Russia were told the same Lies! The Indoctrination of fear starts at a young age! Its horrifying and sickening to think that Ukrainian Children, were stolen and brought to Russian Orphanages to be Terrorized with the same horrifying LIES.

I have Ukrainian cousins on my mom's side who are now living in California. I can't understand why more Russians aren't protesting this war.

I'd claim that the concept of 'passive deniability' is one that needs careful unpacking... yet... and even though I do not agree completely with Thomas Mann... I do agree with his point about collective responsibility... albeit with some reservations... So to paraphrase Mann... "The collective people of a nation must be collectively responsible for what they and their nation collectively do." I'm not just talking about individuals... we have courts for them. You see, we cannot put nations on trial... IMO, we are not qualified to do this. A nation must put itself on 'trial.'

Eli from Russia just goes to remote places & does historical stuff like you used too.

I watch you and Anna from Ukraine but my favorite Ukrainian Channel is "Creative Couple" & they do not speak English.

[@janjohansen9361]

My wife is Russian by citizenship (ethnically very mixed but mostly Eastern European (both Russian and Ukranian) and Urallic and she also was born in the Udmurt republic and of course was never taught the Udmurt language as everything was and still is Russified and it is a slowly dying language unfortunely imo) but has lived in Scandinavia since 1996 and the last time we went to Russia was 2007. We saw a lot of stuff how it began changing for the worse but of course back then we didn't really expect like invading Ukraine would happen.....UNTIL 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia, we understood that anything can happen. Then we learned more about Transnistria also and yeah...here we are. Of course my wife, since she has never lived in Russia during Putins regime, aren't that capable of doing anything real about it except from some postings on her Facebook. But one thing is a fact - she hates Putin and Z patriots with passion. There are some people she dosen't really hate because they go back for a long long time, but she is frustrated with and wanna shake up, and scream open your eyes god dammit and see what the hell is going on. Not only hate Putin with Passion, but cried when she learned that Russia invaded Ukraine, and we try to donate for charity to Ukraine both militarily and civilian when we can effort to do so and how much we can donate varies. The point is she is a thinking person. There are people in the west, who are Russians, has lived here since the 1990's and still are voting for Putin, which is just unbelivable and it makes you think, what the hell are they really doing here, especially a huge part of Putins propeganda are anti-west, and if they as people hates us so much, then why not move back and live in their imaginary paradise and see what it's like? I am not saying Russians should be banned from Europe, but if living in Europe and giving in for Putins propeganda and vote for him, knowing that hating Europe is a huge part of it, and extreme nationalism, then I really think they should live in that "paradise" if they really think it is so much better. At least my wife has a thinking brain and the heart on it's right place. And I totally agree with most of your message in this video. Keep up the good work.

You are right. I was surprised that there is basically no change in the Russian society and the behave in Politics and Military. There is actually no change in treating people, others and there owns. I'm old enough to listen and remember the stories of my mother in law fleeing from the Russians in WWII, stories about shooting and raping of civilians, young female children and elder women. My grandfather, my father and my uncle told me about Russian soldiers, running into the German gun fire and if they turned around the were shot by there own comrades. I don't want to play down the German fault of starting the war against the Soviet Union but it is so devastating, that the Russian society seems to stalled in this former times. It's still part of the Russians way to conquer and to delete a complete society, humiliate people were ever they can. The war against the Ucraine today shows, how primitive Russians tactics are. Killing and destroy as much as you can and in case of success start the Genozid. What they are doing to your country is a crime and I hope, that the Russians have to pay the price for it sometimes in the future.

People who are influenced by influencers are easily impressionable. It's trivial. No cultured and intellectually gifted person needs to be influenced by youtubers, tiktokers and instagrammers because they form their critical spirit in other ways and by other sources. Moreover, I understand very well the anger and hatred Ukrainians may feel towards Russia and Russian citizens who don't actively rebel against Putin's regime, but I would like to point out it's very easy to judge and condemn them in this way. Such complex social and geopolitical issues are not resolved by a video shot at home or by the instinctive comments of users. It's too pretentious to establish who is good and who is bad in this way. We are all influenced by political propaganda, no one excluded. Even those who are not influenced by influencers are somehow influenced by other forms of propaganda. No one is excluded, not even culturally and intellectually gifted people who don't listen to influencers. I'm neither bad nor good.
