Maria Petrova I’ve included a little tidbit of history of the Kievan Rus in my second video from Russia, How to Travel: St Petersburg. The goal for St Petersburg was to explore the history of Russia from its early tribal formation until the end of tsardom; How to Travel: Moscow explores the history of Russia from the Soviet era until 2019.

@Armando Problemas Have you ever been to Moscow? You can’t find those “Soviet” things if you’re not looking for them on purpose as the KZbinr did. Except of Lenin Mausoleum. I meant those vodka cafe, super soviet hotel.. Get rid of Lenin Mausoleum? That’s a really good idea. We often talk about it in Russia. I don’t know why but the dead body is still there. btw Stalin doesn’t have a mausoleum now. And I don’t remember if I ever seen any Stalin Monument here. We don’t have so many Soviet reminders. That’s why I didn’t like the video. It didn’t show Russia. It showed post USSR. And not every Soviet reminders and spots are stupid. It’s our history. We need to know and remember it. The reminders don’t speak. We’re creating thoughts looking at “the reminders”. And all the thoughts are different. P.S. History is written by winners. There’s always a good side and bad one.

How did you find getting around without Russian? I've been living here for 5 years, but couldn't even imagine trying to navigate the city without any Russian (which I'm guessing explains why you were mostly in pretty touristy places). If you ever come back, hit me up and I can show you some better spots! Moscow is a gem of a city, but on limited time it's really hard to actually get a feel for it without either a lot of prior experience or a local friend to show you around.

Certainly helps to be able to read Cyrillic (to be able to at least sound out names of places). Otherwise a few simple words I Russian seemed to get us around just fine.

I’ll be applying for 3 tourist visas! Any advices regarding the travel insurance? I heard U.S citizens do not need it!

[@howtotravel-tv]

Usually, your medical insurance at home will cover entry requirements. But (of course things are changing…) be sure to double check. I would recommend using a visa service for a Russian visa, ask your service to help you determine insurance requirements. More info here: www.tataaig.com/travel-insurance/travel-insurance-russia

Since the 1st January there is an e-visa to get in to Russia. No need of invitation, just your passport (international, of course) and answering some question about for what reason you want to visit the country. This visa allows you to stay inside Russia for 16 days as a tourist.

Unpopular Opinion good question: even though many Russians were willing to have open (and sometimes critical) conversations with us about their government, the topic of homophobia was definitely not a focus. I would personally assume, as in many places, the government’s perspective is usually very different from the people’s’ perspective.

[@strawberryhaze8836]

@@howtotravel-tv I didn't know that they're allowed to criticise the government. Do they have any gay clubs of some sort?

[@howtotravel-tv]

Unpopular Opinion I personally don’t know of any, but a quick search popped up a bunch in Moscow.

[@Visinski]

Never been to Moscow but it is on my list 😁 Keep up the good work with the vlog 😌🙏

[@howtotravel-tv]

One of my favorites ever!!

[@ТрампизКиева]

[@ASightToSee]

Fantastic video! Just subscribed! I really hope I get to film in Russia one day! Looks so beautiful!

[@howtotravel-tv]

Hope you get the chance to go soon!

[@nicolasfernandez6686]

Hopefully I will visit Moscow after the end of the war with Ukraine

Ничего себе) чебуречная "Дружба" на Сухаревской, я туда уже 25 лет хожу) Молодцы что зашли, место культовое.

[@ПодробноО]

Хорошо снято! Хороший монтаж и интересно подобраная музыка 🙂.

[@МаринаЗвягина-я3ю]

I was born in Moscow and I love my city :) You made really nice video, although there are many beautiful places which are not connected with USSR... If you said about them more it would be great! Anyway, thanks :)

[@howtotravel-tv]

Looking forward for our next trip back to explore more.

[@Vasily_Perov]

Amazing!

[@msdussadee]

Looks so much fun!

[@howtotravel-tv]

Not bad for a weekend trip!

[@Smogmopster]

I don't understand why this has so many down votes? Nice video and nice editing, it was fun to watch!

[@chrisb3976]

When you go to Russia how much money should you save up lol.

[@howtotravel-tv]

Depends on your travel style! In this case, I only spent $40 on airfare. Hotel doesn’t need to exceed $150usd/night, meals don’t need to exceed approx $20-$35usd. But... if you want to dine at White Rabbit, you should plan on $300-$500usd.

[@javierflores6691]

This video should be called "Two gays in a place they don't like"

[@howtotravel-tv]

No idea how you got the impression that we didn’t like it.

[@luket3452]

I bet one week there would cost a year’s mortgage

[@bulat_shams]

January of 2019?

[@howtotravel-tv]

Yep. Back when we could travel....

[@chrisb3976]

When they were tasting the food lol.

[@howtotravel-tv]

😳

[@yelenasergeyeva157]

This was disgusting. Russians do not eat that much food and do not mix the food how they did. This was just disgusting and sad that the producers of this video did not focus on the beauty of the city and good Russian food, but picked up the weirdest items. It was painful to watch. I wish they had stomachaches and diarrhea.

[@crueladdict8332]

Thanks for mentioning Nemtsov memorial, he was one of scarce amount of things that our nation could be proud of

[@sammiegirl883]

Goes to another country and insults it. Tisk tisk.

[@howtotravel-tv]

Get out there and explore! Expect to embrace things that are funny, or weird, and enjoy the differences. And by the way, be bold enough to say something about internationally condemned politics and rights violations. And take all of that with a shot of vodka and chase it with a little background in history.

[@bwwcode6166]

Samantha Thompson your name is fake, We know you are from russia... you country is an evil, the world will be a better place without Russia

[@cianakril]

"Not easy to get there". Say thanks to US authorities and the hellish requirements they put on the Russian tourists the Russian government is mirroring eventually. Would you come from any other county, besides Britain, it would be much easier.

[@howtotravel-tv]

Very glad we were able to visit, hoping many people people will be able to.

[@salt251]

Really? Lol I remember going to Russia and it was a flight first from the US and it flew to London and then another plane flew to Moscow.

[@mchayka]

k if eneone wants it that i was born in russia but live in the us i speak fluent russian and english
