Moving to Russia: worth it? | Day 807 ft. ​⁠

Recently the russian propagandists launched a new interesting campaign, calling to immigrate to Russian Federation. I decided to ask my friend Ivan about his opinion on this.

[@ninemoonplanet]

Thank YOU Ivan for being patient with the questions, the people who are so curious about the ordinary people in Russia. Thank YOU Starsky for having Ivan speak openly and freely. Ivan is so right, if the theft and corruption from the Oblast administration to the Kremlin was stopped completely, that country would be one of the more prosperous in the world. Unfortunately it will never be until the corruption, thefts and abuses quit.

[@U.H8]

Ivan is a good guy!Taking care of his family and a big animal lover😻Wish him all the best 🇸🇪👍🏻

[@annebalderston2520]

I love that he loves animals. I wish everyone did. The animals in Ukraine are suffering horribly from Putin’s evil war. They are helpless and innocent and have no voice. “War is not healthy for children and other living things”.💔❤️‍🩹🐈🦮

@@StarskyUA Why is there one single Russian oil and gas pipeline, ship, facility still standing ? Americans want to help, but if Ukraine is not going full force to win this then our support will lessen.... The draft age in Ukraine needs to be changed...... In USA it is 18 yrs old ....... Like I said, either get with this and win it or dont get upset when support weakens ....... Russia can not fight if they do not have money ..... and more

@@StarskyUA The majority of Americans are clean so we have avoided a police state. But we have corruption and increased tolerance of criminality, which will swing back and increase police power. A people who deserve democracy don't have to be watched and suppressed.

[@moru5500]

@@StarskyUA Ivan is a fishy guy Starsky. I used to watch him, when he fled to Turkey, at the time he actually had some good insight on some of the new nonsense, authoritarian laws that were and still are rolling out from the Kremlin. Not his usual 80% of content which is eating and driving. But he basically scammed his viewers. People donated to him, thinking that they are helping him to start a new life and he himself was very worried and alarming about russia. Then he started going somewhere, video after video, with no context as to what is going on, driving...somewhere. And then surprise-surprise, he was back at russia. Gone were all the worries and he even started to make some videos about the same subjects that the propagandists do. Going to that tasty mac or whatever, food prices, new russian lada soft promo and so on. Now he wasn't worried about being mobilized at all, laughing it off. Some even started thinking that he might have become a Kremlin influencer and got a promised exception from being mobilized, for him to have such a change of attitude. To be fair, his takes seemed to be his own at least, he wasn't praising everything to high heavens. Still, at minimum, he milked his viewers with false pretenses and I wouldn't be surprised if Thailand is his second vacation and he'll go back to russia again like nothing happened.

I'm delighted to see you together on this video.

[@stevebusfield199]

Ivan needs to be careful. The only country that has more FSB than Russia is Thailand, lol. They might slip some Novichok in his Pad Kra Pao. Awesome guy though, he's all about living life to the fullest, making friends and not enemies. I wish him great success with his channel.

[@dannydetonator]

I heard similar notions about Germany. Ok, idk intelligence on Thailand, but German one says there are more Russian agents, covert, official, unofficial and open ones, than at any time during the Cold War. I'm afraid it's not better in US, i would bet it's worse but not advertised. There is some protection by counter-intelligence and LEO, but many defectors have been killed with strong LEO in Europe too. The safest countries are probably those with harshest anti-russian-influence laws like where i'm from. Baltic states.

[@annebalderston2520]

I hope our friend Ivan can go to a safer country than Thailand.🙏🏻

[@stevebusfield199]

@@annebalderston2520 I think Thailand is very safe, compared to US or Central/South America. Only negative I see is the heat...it must get tiresome at times.

My favorite person on KZbin is Andri (aka Starsky) together with the kid from Russia Sanctioned Ivan . I’ve been following Ivan for a few months cautiously . He’s a well spoken interesting 25 year old . It’s refreshing to get prospectives from both sides in an interview. Well done both of you .

If you were not aware Commander, Jake in the U.S. (from his channel) raised over $100, 000 USD for Ukrainian defenders to buy about 15 trucks so that troops can have vehicles for various purposes on the front lines-mainly to E-VAC. injured personnel. His goal was $40,000 USD because it was his 40th BD. Blew right that goal. Amazing.

[@AJ-Lohinska]

Thank you so much for doing this livestream, Starsky and Ivan (and the Mods, of course). If only all russians could see how being civil can bring something positive, and be of mutually educational benefit to everyone. It may be as awkward for Ivan, and some russians, as it is for many of us right now. But I think your guest will have a good understanding of why that is. So it was good of him to be here with us all tonight. We just hate russia's wars on other nations, as anyone sensible would in the 21st century. There were some excellent questions asked by chat tonight, and by Andrii. Very interesting! My big concern is always going to be for the children and younger generations in any country because they inherit whatever state we leave our own countries in for *them;* not for ourselves. That was why I asked the question I did, hopefully in a way that wasn't too awkward for Ivan to answer, in that at some point there will be a change in who is in office inside russia. Thank you so much for answering that well, Ivan. I think it's sad that many inside russia won't get the chance to get to know the whole world, one way or another, be that via internet or travel, and even if they do, what can they do to affect their own nations' future! In my opinion, it's good to know that some people care about how their own country is seen on the global stage, with regard to international relationships worldwide; and not just how it's seen by a percentage of the whole world. That doesn't seem like a healthy way to be in modern times. 'nuff said! Thx YT/Starsky's chat family 💙✌💛

This was an interesting perspective with Ivan. I've watched a few of his videos over winter. He seems to be the forever optimist. This is good, one day he may be able to go back home to lead his generation into the future rather than the old Soviets wanting to keep the status quo still.

[@shawnelljenkins1563]

That was one of the best shows yet. Thank you both! Going to check out his channel. Ivan is blessed to have grandparents who wanted more for him, and for him to be educated in another country. He pretty much nailed it when he said some people have lived in their own little village their entire lives and that is all they will ever know. Moving around, visiting other places, meeting people from different cultures, sharing ideas and experiences is the only way to open your mind to anything new and/or different. I also liked the story of his history teacher explaining you need more than one source of information to get a clearer picture of the truth.

Greetings, @OperatorStarsky and Ivan, Thank you for your excellent program here.; balanced expertly between hard truths and lighter bits. I hope in the future there will be more conversations with Ivan and yourself here on your program. With lighter bits in mind, it brought a smile to my heart to hear that you, Starsky, have a Jeep Cherokee. My Jeep Cherokee (Sport) is a 1996 and I will not trade her for anything else. As my Jeep is red, I named her "Lucille" in honor of Lucille Ball, who was not only a red-head and a very talented comedian, but also a very business savvy and strong woman. Take care out there, Starsky, stay safe and stay alive. I continue to send what support I can to Ukraine, and my prayers as well. Divinity grant now Ukraine Victory, Peace, Healing, Freedom and Sovereignty, Forever; Bless all the Ukrainian Defenders, Good People and their Pets-Animals; Blessed Be. "Cap'n" Toni with my Pups Lady Coco and Miss Carly, in Spirit Lady Maya, and All the Animal-Kids of the lil Haus... Pennsylvania, USA....

This was an important collaboration to have. Enjoyed watching it. Konstantin from “inside russia” would absolutely be a good guest. He is very honest, heartfelt and intelligent. Has a deep perspective of Russia from a middle aged boomer perspective.

Actually, Konstantin is slow on his own live stream. When he talks on the channel Silicon Curtain he is not slow. By the way Operators Starsky was a guest on Silicon Curtain as well as Jake Broe.
