@@alexsnow5092 I never heard that one in my life and i'm from Serbia . Anyhow people spread the wrong data over the YT in order to get likes etc as y know for sure. Reason why people support Russia is simple because we were under the attacks of NATO for 78 days and before + after they had ugly propaganda made from 90% of lies about us including the reason for that war was fake 100% and there is a movie made by one German media 20 years ago ''it all started with a lie'' that explains it well what is all about and then people might understand the reaction of majority of Serbian population. Moreover it's a question of human rights aka West made a huge mistake to violate those rights by cutting of Russian media, by attacking Russian students, products and by supporting the anti Russian hysteria were people trews bottles of vodka, cats even etc it 's crazy and it looked like it's 1940 again. In general Serbs support Russians right to protect their people in Donbas etc since that conflict started long ago. also the Russia is only force with China that guarantee the UN declaration about Kosovo and is our land, Terrorists have burned over 150 churches over there and monasteries during the 2004 and before that they did some war crimes by killing civilians and nobody cared about it from NATO.

That mixture of European architecture and communist blocks can be found all over the former commy countries, not just Serbia🙂 As for why Serbs like Russia but not all Serbs are Z, from just meeting Serbs I think it’s more about what NATO did to Serbia and still does, so it’s more about hating NATO and the US rather than liking Putin. Maybe Roman’s generation are less like that because some weren’t even born at the time but the bombing of Belgrad left deep scars on many.

Both Novi Sad (Újvidék) and Bratislava (Pozsony) was part of the Hungarian Kingdom through 920 years. Definately they look same. The difference is that Bratislava was the capitol of Hungary through 350 years, and looks not so provincial as Novi Sad. Also Bratislava have real gothic churches (not neogothic as here), and it’s architecture more like “Viennese baroque”, in Novi Sad some provincial historism.)

Seeing Putin t-shirts and coffee mug for sale at the street market was a little weird. However, that was the only odd part.

A TUG OG WAR Dear Roman, I cannot express my gratitude for making and posting this video in collab/hanging out session with Janjoš! As he said very wisely, the Z faction is just louder but not more robust, not at all! We have this tug of war between two factions, Z and anti-Z, to put it for brevity's sake, but conversing with people who're Putin fandom, it usually comes to this - he stood up to the evil, degenerate West. He is so powerful, respected, and beloved. I would then say:"What about the sanctions, people struggling, people running away?" They would say that it just proves that it proves that they want to destroy the real faith and that sanctions will unite the Russians in the fight, even forgetting to provide food for their kids or some type of lunacy like that. Also, when they would describe themselves as Russofiles, I would start to speak with them in Russian. They would stand mute. I would ask which is their favorite Russian novel. They would remain mute. After that, I would ask which is their favorite composer. They would try to find some excuses. I would finally ask who is their favorite Russian pop star, including the Soviet era. They would look at me confused and call out. Basically, it is not Russia they love or support, it's their idea of Russia that doesn't exist, it might as well be Oz or Neverland. Gotta say I love Russian people and Russian culture, architecture, and many climates it has. However, I feel deep empathy for both Russians and Ukrainians in this terrible "special operation" and for some time, I couldn't even listen to my beloved Russian pop or classical music. It hurts me, I feel that they're my kin but I can do nothing but spread awareness and pray. I never write blocks in the comment section but this means a lot to me because you have an international audience so I hope that they will see your collab video, maybe even read my comment and understand the real picture. And the real picture is always messier and more complex. And also, God knows Serbia needs more good PR! :DDD Роман, большое спасибо! Edit: I will like the video but STAY OUT OF THAT HOLE!
