An American In Moscow - Will They Arrest Me? (

Russia. Ever since the invasion began in 2022, this country has effectively been shut off to the Western world. Flights between Europe and Russia were halted. Trade was stopped. Most border crossings were closed.
And yet I found myself at one of the few crossings that remained open: Narva, in far eastern Estonia. I had never been to Russia, and as an American, now definitely wasn't the best time to change that. But no one knows what the future may hold. I was on a trip across Eurasia, and there was no way I could just ignore the world's largest country. I spent a month getting the visa, and worked on my Russian for half a year.
This is the first chapter of my journey across Russia to the Far East. I was beyond nervous. What did America's old Cold War foe have in store for me..
It turns out, the complete opposite of what I expected.

Absolutely. I visited numerous countries (incl China and Cuba) during Dubya's presidency and everyone was wonderfully nice to me on a personal level, but many shared their problems with US leaders. They explained, very clearly, the same notion you shared: there's a huge distinction between the people of a country and that country's leaders. People are friends, governments are not given the benefit of the doubt for obvious reasons.

A little remark abot the bridge is that its called 'Troitsky' not 'Trotsky', and got its name because of the 'Troitsky Sqare' which is connected to. And the 'Troitsky Sqare' got its name from the "Troitsky Cathredral" which used to be there, but was demolished by the bolsheviks in 1932. And the world ''Troitsky' translates as 'Three' or 'in the name of the Three' and it comes from the christianity the Three Holy Hierarchs - Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, John Chrysostom.

Haiti like America has its own culture and history, its music etc. It's time to turn the page. I am Canadian and when people say to me "ok but where are you really from" it insults me. After 300 years I think I can say that I am just Canadian.

[@huangwu2563]

@@balbutie As a Chinese who lived in the UK for more than 15 years, I fully understand what you said and I also understand why the OP says "New York"--for the same reason you have mentioned. As you said it, you, and probably the the OP as well, have been living in your continent for more than 300 years and 300 years is long enough to develop rich history and culture of your own. Your father lives there. Your father's father lived there. North America is your home and your ancestors home. You are ORIGINALLY from North America. When some people asks you "where are you really from" it may have an implied meaning that you are "settlers", which really offends to many white Americans. Also, in today's western world, racial equality is so much advocated. In this discourse, asking for a person's ethnicity can sometimes be offending. Example, a colleague of mine, who is black, use to teach English in China and he said he was often asked by his students which country he is from, and when he answered UK/London the Chinese students were sometimes dissatisfied and asked "where are you really from" or "where are you originally from". I guess in most of Europe and North America, people wouldn't ask him "where are you originally from" after he said he is from the UK. And besides, when that Russian auntie asked the OP what ethnicity he is, she is actually expecting an answer like "Anglo-Saxon", "Dutch" or "Irish", which is rather impossible for a white American to provide an answer, because the European ancestry of many (if not most) Americans are so "mixed" that it’s difficult to trace it back to just one country. I quoted -New York ethnicity- here just for fun, not meaning that I think there is anything wrong with OP's answer of "New York".

Don't loose that yellow small paper they gave you on the border , they will ask for it again when/if you exit 😂 (or you will have to fill in paperwork again) also <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="146">2:26</a> "raznie" means "different kind" (as in both)

I think it's just fair to say that whether in the US, Europe or Russia, we are all just living in our very own little simulations. Except for the men at the frontline of course who are bearing the brunt of this madness...

[@tumyp38]

Couple corrections: at the beginnig of the video lady said there's all kinds of people there, not Russian, the name of the bridge is Troitsky witch means The Trinity bridge

[@johnnyhunter4345]

My favorite video you have done. Russia surprisingly clean and neat. No graffiti, homeless, trash, dogs...

[@buc991]

They are all exist, just not so visible on the facade part because police drives all this away from visible places, if you go a bit from the usual path you will see it, especially not in Moscow where all money are going.

In Canada, a train ride between 2 major cities (Toronto-Montreal), 400mi apart would cost about 450$ USD for non-business class cramped between 3 other people in your 'aisle'.

John Reed, an American who was involved in the Russian revolution and knew Lenin, Trotsky, et al is buried in the Kremlin; the only American granted that honor. There is an excellent 1981 film about him called "Reds" for those interested.

Russia was a great country to visit & live in for a while. Overall a lovely people. Just like America, a crap government. When I was there of course, in Moscow, one could get Roubles, Euros and Dollars from the ATMs. In the Provinces I lives with my friends in their towns. Beautiful place. I could not see the tomb of Lenin because, my friend told me, "his nose fell off." Red Square and the Cathedrals in the Kremlin are spectacular. My friends are Tatars, and they would not let me visit St Basil's. In Moscow, if you refer to being in Russia, EVERYONE will tell you "Moscow is not Russia."

Хватит нести чушь, основанную на российском опыте 90-х. В таком случае, Лондон - не Англия, Париж - не Франция. Москва - это не просто Россия, а столица!
