[@1420channel]

I see that 1420’s videos are reposted on Reddit, and those reposts contain cut versions with only negative responses from interviewees. Nobody reposts positive responses because apparently nobody is interested in it! Negative videos usually “sell better” just like the news; while this video has less aggressive people than in the previous videos, my gut feeling tells me, this video will reach less people! Hence, less people will see that there are some sane people. People only need to see babushkas who’re willing to ****** everyone, including babies. This comment is a reminder to not use “Russians” with any following adjective in a sentence. For example, “Russians are bad”, “Russians are cool” and so on. Just like with any other nationality, it’s too many people to put them in one box. "But Ukrainian children are dying and women are being raped, how can you say that Russians are not bad??!!” - for those of you who’re willing to write this, I’d recommend to calm down, turn off the computer and go to park for a walk ❤ Also!

It is all ridiculous. There are troubling conditions in Finland as in every country but the Finns agree to deny them and hide them. One of them is the privatization of child services and increasing abuse, which is mentions often on Finnish radio. There are several other issues that Finns do not let out.

[@MindVersusMisery]

I'm from Sweden, and let me tell you: Sweden WOULD NEVER have joined NATO if it wasn't for the invasion of Ukraine and Putins aggression towards the West. The public opinion in Sweden took a 180 degree turn when Putin decided to invade Ukraine and started to show aggression towards Sweden by invading the air space over Gotland with fighter jets. Sweden has been at peace for over 200 years and even managed to not get involved during the 2nd world war. Our joining of NATO is just an assurance of safety, and nothing else! I fucking hate war, and don't consider people of any country to be my enemy. And us joining NATO is unfortunate because spending a lot of money to expand the military is just a waste of money, that could have been used for education and health care, IMO.

[@pavelpolyakov1266]

Joining the NATO makes Sweden true enemy to Russia. Don't make wrong decision and keep your neutrality. The Russo-Ukrainian war started in 2014 with Donetsk, Lugansk rocket shelling and Crimean blockade due to Crimean decision to leave Ukraine as they had tensions for almost 20 years.

[@JakeBassCZ]

Joining NATO usually meant a sharp drop in military spending, because countries specialize and rely on collective defense. A lot of NATO countries in Europe have underfunded militaries - because nobody expected a major conventional war. Sweden - as a neutral country - has a sizable military that won't have to be expanded very much, nor does it need any rearmament for NATO standards as its' massive arms industry helps set NATO standards. In fact, Swedish arms industry might rise to new heights in the coming years because of new contracts for fighter jets, IFVs, ATGMs, MANPADS and warships.

[@TheLustmord88]

Calling it invasion is like calling "invasion" soviet offensive in Germany in 1945, forgetting what was happening for previous 4 years. You didn't bomb Donbass and didn't openly plan to attack Russia. So like any other country in the world, you don't have reasons to wait for russian invasion. But joining NATO will mean that it will be your duty to join USA aggression against Russia. Just like these poor stupid hohols, you are signed to be cannon fodder in conflict for USA interests.

[@rorychivers8769]

Your military spending, along with Finland's is still a powerful deterrent, make no mistake, and keeping in mind that if it ever came to it, neither country would want to have to sit patiently and wait for NATO reinforcements to drive over the Oresund bridge while Russia is right next door, or the first thing that would happen is NATO would have to violently de-occupy both countries, after god only knows what would have been inflicted on you in the meantime

Most of the Russian troops are in Ukraine, who's protecting the NATO border? Nobody, because there's no threat of invasion. Not from Poland, not from Finland, not from the US. Ridiculous.

You are actually wrong about most of. The initial group is fighting in Ukraine, plus the mobilized one. Mostly contract soldiers left the regular army, and those who are called up for a year mostly stayed in Russia. And don't forget that we have 5 million security forces in our country. However, I doubt that they will go to war with Finland seriously, of course. They guard the government more. Nevertheless, the current grouping of our troops in Ukraine is smaller than the Ukrainian army. So you are mistaken: there is someone to guard the borders with Nato.

(From an american) This is amazing work. I commend you all. This kind of journalism is ABSOLUTELY needed. I've never donated or paid for a comment before (whatever you call this) but I feel a NEED to support you and your channel in some way. I feel it is crucial to 1. Explain to the west the thoughts of the general Russian population 2. Allow us to see the good...the bad...and the ugly of the discourse that happens within....and 3. and most likely most importantly allows us to relate to these human beings. No matter if it's because they make me laugh or if it makes me want to cry. In the end that's the common denominator. We are all human beings and we must find common ground. This current world situation is tense and scary but this channel has allowed insight for me and at times a sense of relief as well as a sense a despair. But I've come to realize it's just the nature of the world we live in right now. As JFK said.."We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

True if we want to unify and move forward into the future we need to break the idea of borders. We are all human, and we are all the same.

[@andersandersson3689]

​@@tusk4339 The existence of borders is not the problem. Our idea of their purpose is. If we allow everybody to communicate, conduct trade and travel across borders, fine, I see little problem with that. But as borders are also used to limit the territory under the control of a single government, and to confine separate jurisdictions, removing said borders would lead to a world population under the same government and the same laws, with nowhere to escape should that government deteriorate into a tyranny. When your government makes bad decisions, and you criticise them for that, they may ask you to give a single example of a government that is doing better, and you can't find one, because there is no other government to compare to. The worst place in the world is simultaneously the best one. The right to seek asylum in a different country is no more. Why? Because it's no longer needed due to the government being perfect, or because the concept of "different country" has evaporated? "To form a more perfect union": which are the two most important words in that phrase? I'd say its "a" (indefinite form, one of many possible) and "more" (a comparison with something else). Pluralism. The very force that makes business work (competition), democracy (elections), even refridgerators work due to the contrast between hot and cold. To be human is to be different.

After all, he pretends that Ukraine was under NATO influence and that this was a threat to us, but then surely two countries joining NATO are also a threat, so Russians should logically expect him to attack them too and he can't afford that. Of course, he could find a way to talk about it and to justify not attacking them, but it would make his propaganda less logical and since there are Russians who are becoming a bit more critical about Ukraine, maybe he doesn't want to show them another proof that his propaganda is just BS...

Of course I won't press the button but I will threaten to do so to make everyone more afraid of me.

Imagine how weak I would look to the whole neighbourhood if I just gave up! I must either get hold of the whole house or somehow come up with a way to leave and make it look like I won. So far I haven't succeeded in either and the neighbour is getting newer and better defence equipment all the time so I think I will just make more threats to everyone until I figure something out.

When saying "Russians" and, as you say, pull out and negative adjective in front or after, it's also wrong. Would I do the same mistake as I did in my teenage years? No way.

It would be good to one day see them join the rest of the Western world so we can all work together and combine talents to achieve greater things.

[@Rollmops94]

Just today I thought the same thing. I think humanity is progressing. The future shines bright.

[@geeewiz2231]

Russia was on that route until Putin took over.

[@socius1061]

I imagine they will be sent to the trenches without training, once students are not exempt from the draft anymore. If the war isn't over by then. Then as Russia seems to do, they will try to zerg rush the Ukrainians, with the soldiers dead or dying, since Russia doesn't really take care of their wounded. It's a long, excruciatingly horrible way to die.

[@katastrofskyy]

Dude at 02:00 literally said "there has never been a case of a NATO country showing aggression against other countries". How about: Bosnia and Herzegovina 1995-1996, Serbia/Kosovo 1999, Afghanistan 2001, Iraq 2003, Libya 2011. Also Ivory Coast, Mali, Central African Republic... I am not rooting for Russia by any means. But let's not be hypocrites and pretend NATO (mostly USA) doesn't run it's narrative in the world.

[@victorlloyd5271]

The woman starting at 10:45 is the person whom I thought makes the most sense. Thank you again, Daniil

[@TheHalhalhal]

Thank you for your work Daniil. It would be nice to know what part of the population supports the Government. Is it 80% or maybe only 20%.

[@bamereg]

The hope I have is that the young people who are making sense will live longer than their Soviet-loving countrymen, and that they might be able to eventually make Russia a normal country free from paranoia or narcissist leaders.

[@LordDamianus]

Russia will never be normal. Jesus, why do people in the civilized West believe that Russia and Russians will change? So naive. We Poles know Russia and its people better than any other country.

[@gustsword6588]

the young people are currently being forced in the military where they're dying for the most part. There's really very little hope for little folk with no money or power. We can't even leave, really.

[@angelsackson]

What… with lgbt rainbow freaks and diversity quotas? Rather it stay Russian. The west and Europe have stabbed their ethnic people in the back. Russia hasn’t.

[@elliotjung1766]

Russia is not a country, it is an empire. Countries are Tatarstan, Komi, Buriatia, Udmurtia, Checnya etc. They are all occupied.

[@Savetheplanet802]

Correct 🙏🏽

[@TSKNBgaming]

As a Finnish man this is calming to see, because i feel like the current propaganda has made people go nuts especially old people. Just like in this video, all the people with brains understand that war benefits nobody it just makes lose-lose situations no matter which side "wins".

[@sdu9340]

This is why Russia can still change. The younger generation seems to be able to stop seeing the west as enemies

[@gringopapi6985]

wrong, Raytheon wins

[@rivality100]

We have to take seriously the fact that Russia can attack here and therefore we have to show that we are not backing down but fighting back

[@jimjimsom3776]

maybe Russians said the same BS about Ukraine and then they all turned into Z zombis and was rejoicing in the streets when Russia in 2014 took crimea and east Ukraine and now in 2022 the same Z zombi mentality took over ,.. but now 12 months later and massive trucks loads of dead RuZZian army solders are coming back to Russia now they talk pace and understanding DONT BE AN NAVIE IDIOT !!

[@hjula87]

Same here as a Swede. I dont view the Russian people as enemies and hope that peace can be reached soon.

[@timboslice0137]

As a Swede we would never have joined Nato if Russia did not have started the ”Special Operation in Ukraine”. Iam personally against Nato but i understand why we joined after 200+ years of Neutrality and peace. I wish peace for everyone in 2024

[@gregcosta6965]

I loved that old lady with the beret:)) great knowledge and spirit.

[@gertlarsson9285]

Good to hear that most of the youth have down to earth opinion on what’s going on🙏 Is so sad to have war in these times when we should focus on better the environment and so in.,, now every country spend more and more money on guns instead 😩 I just hope that there would be a wise person in Russia that dares to stand up against Putin and gather the people and stop this madness

[@bigwinboard]

As a Swede I don’t want war and I believe most Russians don’t want either. Life is short, we should try and make the best of it. Please, no wars 😢

[@Kafalassi92]

Everybody lose at war only dumb people want war

[@xnomadx9588]

Sweden and Finlands have much stronger and modernized armies than Ukraine, they'll naturally be supported by the west with more equipment and advanced weapons than Ukraine since Sweden and Finlands aren't as corrupt as Ukraine and are generally more trust worthy. So Russia has no business attacking Finland and Sweden it would get crushed.

[@etgerg]

​@@xnomadx9588 Bla-bla-bla, another Napoleon from coach😁

[@scottbaron121]

As an American...Too late, kid. This is what the world is...and what it's always been. The Soviets are doing Soviet things. As they've ALWAYS done. I KNOW...the younger generation wants things to be different and doesn't understand why things can't be different. I suggest you study European history. Clearly you haven't or you wouldn't be so confused right now. Frankly, as an American...it gets annoying having to get involved with European non-sense. WHY do we have to be the "World Police"? Why can't you Euros handle your business and not have to rely on "big brother" to fight your fights!?

[@zoemayacastillo]

@@scottbaron121 no one cares that you’re an American, Scott.

[@ShortTastic8]

10:16 THIS!

[@Alsicufe]

TO be blunt, if you have over almost 2 years difficulty "crushing Ukraine" and on your knees threatining Finland and Sweden at the same time? A famous historic person did this once and it didn't end well with 2 open fronts. ANd above all, reconsider the losses of your fellow neighbors and kinsmen....

[@Jewish223]

Nobody even thinks about your Finland. If we talk about losses, they are 10 to 1 in favor of the Russians. And because of Avdeevka even less

[@Anna-vt8yl]

@@Jewish223 ruzzia thinks about 🇫🇮, ruzzia threatens 🇫🇮 every other day, so yha; ruzzia is thinking about 🇫🇮 & not in a good & nice way either. ruzzia is a fallen fake state. Their international relations are ☠️, their economy is ☠️ & there’s nothing they can do to change it at this point 🤗 🇸🇪🫶🏻🇺🇦

[@itsthedaywalker]

@6:20 Oh, she assumes/claims NATO is the aggressor. Can I ask when exactly did NATO show aggression for all these years? Can anyone tell? Just give one example. I guess you can't. This is a very dangerous concept. You just can't assume someone is the aggressor and start aggressing. This is definetely not the way. If it would, the world had already gone into the WW3 by now. You can't (and should NOT) attack anyone just because you think it's the aggressor and dangerous. It cannot be called "self defense" if noone is attacking you. But that is preciesly what is Russia doing right now. And this is the real danger and the reason why Russia must be stopped.

[@Sayitlikitiz101]

A militarily unprepared Finland was a true nightmare for Russia during the Winter War, Russia paid a horrendous price for achieving a nominal victory. Since, Finland has had +80 years of meticulous preparedness for a war with Russia. The Finns have built entire underground cities that can host their population and allow them to concentrate on 1 thing: killing the enemy. Finland still has universal miitary service and can field an army of +1M in no time. Russia wishes!

[@darkmage7280]

Actually our wartime strength is 280,000, but it can be expanded.

[@bobbylong8348]

yah, Finland remembers and hates mother Russia!

[@iljakarppinen8352]

Yeah it can be extended up to 980 000

[@keesko5740]

A war with Finland give the Finnish the possebility to concur back lost territory of WW2,and they are not like Ukrain but fully ready to repel any attack from RuZZia

[@dagnytaggart2027]

It's true, but russians don't know about this.

[@anywhohey]

Good to see that at least younger russians have their own sources and are able to filter information.

[@kibervatniki7552]

How do you know how Russians think? About 5% of the surveyed people publish in such videos.

[@lomejordepolonia]

Thank you very much for this most interesting material and congratulations for reaching so many independent thinking peaople in Russia!

[@calbackk]

As a Finn seeing this gives me at least some hope. In time, and I hope soon, we need to rebuild our relation with Russia, but on equal terms this time. We are not interested in the kind of forced "friendship" we had with the Sovjet Union. Nobody except our communists believed in it, albeit that common Russians, unaware of the real circumstances, seem to have believed it more sincerely. Right now however, any relation is not possible. You cannot have any relations with a man who has caused the death of about 500.000 people in just the last few years. Generally many Russians in your videos seem like intelligent and capable people, even those who support Putin. But there seem to be some crucial factor in their society that makes them succumb to brutal dictatorships time and again. Finding and curing that ill would be beneficial for the entire planet.
