Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.

My wife is from Komsomolsk. I’m from California. Most of the Russians I’ve met are from outside of the European part of the country. I’ve always said that I found more personality similarities between Eastern Russians and Americans than with the European friends I’ve made. I think that’s why my wife and I have had such a strong marriage despite the language and cultural differences. 20+ years into this journey and I could not wish for a better partner.

[@stariyczedun]

I'm from Amur region of the Russian Far East, right on the Chinese border. There are a lot of traits we far easterners share with Americans - this is a settler colony in the end. We are all 2nd-3rd gen migrants from other parts of Russia \ USSR. People here are more open and friendly, with entrepreneurial pioneer spirit still in them. And we sure do love our cars, Far East culture is probably the most car centric in Russia.

With university I once went on a linguistic expedition to a remote village in Arkhangelsk Oblast to record their accent. For example, they say 'moloko' instead of the standard pronunciation 'malako'. On the whole though, it's incredible how little difference there is with Russian in different regions. Almost everyone (especially if they're educated) speak with basically the same accent from Moscow to Kamchatka.

[@Mortablunt]

Вот да, that’s “Okanie”. Я тоже так говорю, а потому что русский мы четвёртый язык.

[@SerpMolot]

Don't be fooled by modern "linguists" pretending the Moscow dialect is the norm. It's not. Moloko is pronounced with a schwa, not an "ah". But considering how most people nowadays are becoming increasingly less intelligent and less educated, you hear the takeover of standard Russia pronunciation by this village-sounding Moscow dialect.

[@frenzalrhomb6919]

​@SerpMolot As a native English (Australian English) speaker, I can't think of how you can pronounce "moloko" and add the "schwa," sound as you describe.

[@SerpMolot]

@@frenzalrhomb6919 I don't know the ins and outs of Australian pronunciation, but think of the sounds in the words "bUtter" and "sUpply" in the General American accent. Phonetically, I might be mistaken in calling it the schwa sound, but it is something between an "ah" and an "o". Try to not force the pronunciation of each syllable in "moloko" but say it, instead, "lazily".

That's because the Soviets forced everybody to speak the same near-literature level variant of Russian language.

In my humble opinion, one of the best places to live in the Russian Far East in the south of Sakhalin island. It has extremely beautiful nature, plenty of seashore areas, and the andministrative center of the region, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, has both good developing infrastructure and a lot of money from Moscow as the Sakhalin region is an important oil production site. It also has lots of local dairy products and vegetables and berries. A truly great place to leave in.

[@eugenic12]

it doesn’t have money from Moscow, a very wrong opinion. Sakhalin lives in poverty due to giving up most of its resources to Moscow

[@haitanie100sure]

@@eugenic12 Now that I think about it, you're right. However, I personally think that south Sakhalin is still a nice place to live, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and it's surroundings at least. Nicer than Vladivostok for sure, that city is very surely not for everyone. I'm sad that my region doesn't get as much money and attention from the centre as it deserves, but I'm happy that it's at least has some development and it it not deserting as rapidly as some other regions are. I hope that people here would be able to live a good life for many years from now on.

[@haitanie100sure]

Moreover, I can't think of any regions in Russia getting much development now. I would be happy if you could provide any examples of what you know, because from what I can see, if it's not Sakhalin and other resources-rich places, it's probably nothing esle. Aside from probably Moscow. Regions rich in natural resources really give everything to the centre, but for what purpose? It's too sad to know.

[@wat-ch]

@@EttaKamenatios -Most of Far East were originally 'Asian' populated. -Slavs have literally no reason to go far off over the Urals, whatmore to the Far East. Some are in Siberia in sort of punishment (exile). -Nearer to Moscow/StPetersburg, more things are accessible (ex. sea trade). Far East is basically cutting yourself from major population centres back then while still in Russia. If you're allergic to meeting people, Russian Far East is the place to be. - America, Canada, Australia and NZ are white British settlers settled by British government policies. Russian government policies to settle in Far East were mostly happening during Soviet times. Russian even skipped Far East for California because of fur trade. -For land claim, Russia told the natives to admit to be Russian instead of replacing them. See about Chukchi people. Sorry for long reply, basically sum up why I am surprised at a quite likely significant Slav majority in the Russian Far East.

the thing is that buryat population was divided into three regions of russia during soviet times due to panmongolism allegations (tysm stalin) considering we are one of the most famous and populated ethnicity here: irkutsk oblast', buryat republic and zabaikalsky krai. in each region everyone knows that it was a place where once buryat people lived (whole Baikal region with its river systems and to the begining of Amur river).

Если вкратце: при империи все были +- на своих местах. Особенно если ты был в ладах с короной. Пересылали в основном русских преступников или заговорщиков, таких как декабристы (Я сейчас живу там, где они отбывали наказание). При СССР наоборот население часто перемешивалось. Коренным народам дали образование, а некоторым и письменность. После чего в ход пошла программа "Молодой специалист", где молодых людей раскидывало по всей стране туда, где не хватало рабочих рук. Помимо этого усовершенствовалась система воинской повинности и многие солдаты после дембеля возвращались в места службы. Заключённых всё также отправляли, но уже реже и в специальные трудовые лагеря в среднем на 3-5 лет. Что касается депортации, то это эхо войны. Крымские татары были на 80% коллаборационистами и их сослали подальше от фронта. Поволжских немцев просто испугались. Также очень многих людей эвакуировали во время войны вместе с предприятиями и они по итогу остались здесь. Вообще, тема ВОВ слишком обширная и одновременно больная для нашей страны

@@Alfonse-dm6ht But it's true. Up to 80% of the Crimean Tatar population were associated with collaborationism or were their relatives, so they were taken away from there. This is evident from the memos from the NKVD, political officers in the army and local councils.

Yes, but I think that was actually during imperial times, during the revolution the area was known as Green Ukraine. In 1897 census South Ussuri Okrug was 33.6% Russian, 25.2% Ukrainian, 17.1% Chinese, 17.9% Korean. In 1939 Ussuri Oblast was 67.4% Russian and 27.4% Ukrainian In 1959 Primorsky Krai was 81.15% Russian, 13.8% Ukrainian In 1989 it was 86.9% Russian, 8.2% Ukrainian In 2010 it was 92.5% Russian , 2.76% Ukrainian.

[@yumallah]

@@greasher926 Yeah, it was mostly in Tsarist days. And the reason for it is because until the Trans-Siberian railway was built, the easiest way to get from the European part of Russia to the Far East was by sea, and the main Russian sea port for routes towards Asia was Odessa, so many Ukrainians went there.

i have never heard куня being linked to 姑娘" (gūniang). they dont even sound similar. phonetically куня is much more similar to cunnie which is likely the origin. further more the only times i heard it in use was a slur/slang for female genitalia. so this checks out to me. where di you get your interpretation from? your friend sounds right to me that you are wrong.

He actually said that he never heard such a word used in Vladivostok, nothing about its origin. But if there are so many mentions of it in local press then I guess it is used by some people. And I have to disagree with your "cunnie" theory. Simply because that word is pronounced completely differently, with an /ʌ/ sound. Chinese word sounds really similar to "куня" and both have /u/ sound instead chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=guniang There are also some scientific papers that also claim that this word came from China: Цзян Сюехуа.

Every country is more or less the same. People do not like the capital. Amsterdam is our capital. In Amsterdam you can use English in stead of Dutch. When you go to a Cafe the waitress can be Russian, American or Indonesian. The Filippines. Who cares. What is the problem? Empty space does not exist. Huntergathers need 'empty space'. Townees think in problems. We think in solutions. Btw, my country had colonies in the past spread over large distances. Much larger than than the Russians Federatie nowadays. We reached them with simple wooden sailingships, without an engine of course. It took months to get to the Dutch East Indies and Deshima in the bay of Nagasaki.
