Russian Countryside - Going up North and Exploring

[@shaikharkongor7165]

I like Douglas, he have such a nice place, lots of vegetables and fruits. And he must be very tenderhearted, because he used to keep rabbits but not having a heart to Kill them for meat. Nice video. I had nice time touring Russian villages with you. God bless Russia, and God bless those villagers may they prospers in days to come. God bless you sir.

[@terryfennell3331]

yes it was really nice to see Douglas and his place. I really enjoyed it to see just nice people.I hope if someone comes by my place I would be just as nice.

[@robertrichard6107]

Beautiful, quaint and rustic home. Perhaps Douglas was named after Douglas Fairbanks the movie star? All those beautiful churches must have had huge rural populations. Footage reminds me of American mid-west, or great north central plains of Canada too.

@@baryka2015 I correspond with an American living in Russia. His name in Youtub is "Stan SPb". So his letter: I have been living in Russia, as an American native-born, for 19 years but visited many times since 1976 and have been here to watch the development from the chaotic 90s and post 2000, when Putin took office, I have never seen such a radical change in any large country. Corruption was the norm in the 90s, and average citizens just do not interact with it now. I have several small businesses in St Petersburg and up until about 2004 it was very difficult to do business without bribes and "favors" and my business was hurt by not being involved in that but the straight legal business critical mass hit the tipping point in 2004 or so when there was more legal business with real accounting records that made illegal business harder and harder continue since legal businesses could not account for transactions with illegal entities, there was no paper trail That kept growing until it must be very hard to conduct business illegally now The federal government has been very active in anti-corruption efforts and it really shows. It is now easier to start a small or mid-sized business now, be perfectly legal, and have it succeed far better than now in the US. Most small business fails in the US because of the very high costs of living means the owner burns through their starting capital very quickly on living expenses alone. Taxes are low, city and federal services are easily used, and burdensome red tape has been slashed. From the 90s to 2019, Russia is an easier place to live and have a good life than the USA for many reasons but it is just more honest, open and rational society. Education, housing, cost of transportation, medical care and access to culture is so much better now. Instead of vilifying Russia the US citizens really should look at it carefully to see how Russia turned itself around, but the US is so dominated by nonsense propaganda few people know that about 100 countries have overtaken the US in quality of life for the non-wealthy. It is fun, exciting, humane and a rational place to live and raise a family. I have watched it make the changes that have allowed this. At the same time I remember 35 years ago, the US was a great place to raise a family or start a small business. All that has broken down in a bitterly divided extremely corrupt, angry fearful society where free speech is threatened daily with many words or opinions that will end up causing attacks and violence and no one knows for sure where the next hostility will come from. The US is a stressed out bomb waiting to explode. economic security is one of the missing elements in US society for the 90% and from that lack of security and lack of opportunity, most people are leading difficult lives. The young people have a very bleak future awaiting them with starting life with mountains of debt, few living wage job prospects 20 years of college loans. Bankruptcy awaits if they get sick. Or, with no public transport, the cost of a car and related expenses and high cost of housing means never having the option to be debt free or travel, have savings or have a normal family of their own. But Americans who did not visit for an extended period will never know anything true about Russia. There are thousands of Americans living in Russia and I have met none who want to return to the US, it is just too crazy and angry after such an open friendly place like Russia. From myself I will add the following. I watched dozens of videos from foreigners living in Russia. Among them, a third are Americans. They always speak very positively about Russia.

I have never been to Russia and I also miss it so badly! What makes it so intensely beautiful? The wonderful spirits of the people and how it shows in their works. I know Russia has suffered terribly from rural depopulation, thanks partly to catastrophic "help" from the United States in the nineties. I know the people will carry on, despite the discouragements, and Russia is rising to a quiet prosperity it has never seen before. God Bless all. There is a lot more to life than six soft chairs, a 48" television, and three cars. Don't think America is a happy place !

The myth we have of them being hostile is completely wrong. Keep up the good work and happy travels.

[@Khamomil]

Douglas was such a fine, friendly man! I bet people feel lonely at times and are happy to see a stranger passing through. I loved his estate, how the buildings formed a cosy courtyard and led to the garden. wonderful place everything is so clean, because the population density is very small, that's the good side: a clean nature with wild edibles at every season, nothing ugly in sight to ruin the landscape. People may be forgotten by the politicians but in a sense it's lucky for them. compared to my country France where there are so many rules and regulations and buying land and building a house is fraught with innumerable occasions for rip-offs and red tape... at least over there you can breathe! I'd like to see how it is in the winter time. Looking at the map, there are no big cities North of Yekaterinburg, only small villages.

[@shafit4046]

They are not alone! Is the hospitality and warmth is the product of loneliness? Is it possible that if I meet a friendly person in France, he is lonely? Just when you go to the country or to the country after a long Russian winter, you want to take a break from the city bustle and crowds. But this rarely happens: we are used to communicating with neighbors, friends, and always welcome guests. It's not from loneliness, it's from our fathers, grandfathers, forefathers...- this Russia.

Blessings for the man called Douglas B! Kind and caring people like him make me want to see more of this world...before it is destroyed by the greedy and selfish.

I born in village, grow in village and want to spend rest of life in village and love country side very much

What lovely people. Douglas' home is beatiful and you can see how much they care for it. Great tour!

[@tamasmarcuis4455]

A Russian with a Scottish name Douglas. Meaning Dark River. I heard a story of a 19th century English traveller in Russia who met a man with the surname Makinnan. From the Scottish MacKinnon or Son of the Fair one. The man had no idea it was Scottish or who his ancestor might have been.

[@terencemalik6415]

Kids at school learn about that poet. And have to memorize his verses too. www.rbth.com/arts/2014/10/16/the_scottish_roots_of_great_russian_poet_lermontov_40663.html

[@snab032]

And of course, George Learmonth is the ancestor of the great Russian poet Lermontov, equivalent to the great Pushkin. Which unfortunately like Pushkin was killed in a duel at a young age.

Отличный ролик. Люблю старые деревни, теплом от них веет. У нас в Карелии их тоже много с такими вот бабушками и дедушками, но они потихоньку вымирают. Сейчас все чаще современные поселки встречаются, бездушные, стерильные, но зато комфортабельные.

Another trip to the Russian countryside. I'm enjoying these honestly 1:41 pine nuts merchants 2:30 Lubov Pavlovna in Krasnogorskoe village 4:28 Merkushino village 7:32 Verhoturye 11:05 a village near Bogdanovich 12:38 Douglas Borisovich - the friendliest man you'll ever meet :)

I might pay him a visit this spring or summer. I hope he's doing well

That lovely man, Douglas! I hope he gets to see himself on TV! It seems so much like America when I was young in the 1950s. I truly love the Russian people because they are so much like me. ❤️👵🏻🇺🇸

🌷🕊️🐦‍🔥💚 I saw some of your videos one after another, and they are so beautiful and real. I'm German. I like the natural way you present your country. One can feel the love for your country. One day I want to travel around Russia . There are so many beautiful people. I love Russia and its people. I am learning the Russian language but Russian videos I don't understand yet. Therefore I enjoy your videos in English. You're doing a great job being an ambassador for your country... and the world.♥️🪆🌿👑🔆💚🕊️🌷

I love these videos and I appreciate your candor and honesty. Russia may have it's challenges, but here in the USA we do too! We have serious drug addiction problems too, and mental health issues as well - which leads to homelessness and despair This is not something unique but rather common everywhere. Because I point this out - does not make me less of a patriot! I love my country as you do too - we are just more real about it. We can enjoy the beauty and wonderful things but we are not afraid to address the challenges. You sir, are the truest Russian patriot is know. Thank you and please keep making this content ! I keep honey bees here and would to travel in Russia to learn from the people. God Bless!

How are you friend

[@jamainebuzzar671]

I've always have an interest in Russia and seeing these Vidoes has up that interest even more. That tour by Douglass was pretty awesome and that was a nice gesture i might add. The Russian people are pretty kool unlike what is portrayed on mainstream media. I should say that the Country side in Russia reminds me of what use to be my Country life here in Jamaica.👌👍

Very interesting video. That guy had a beautiful flower garden. With influences from his artistic father, I expect.
