[@wherewewent]

Рамиль - практичный человек. Большой, как ему. Я не русский, я индиец. Судя по моим ограниченным знаниям, без такого лидера, как Путин, Россия будет плохо эксплуатироваться ЕС и США. Примеров много. Вы уже можете видеть, что они достигли ваших границ, добавив постсоветские республики в ЕС, хотя они не равноправные страны. Тем самым первоначальный ЕС получил подушку между ними и Россией.

[@RussianPlus]

Thanks a bunch

[@wherewewent]

Ramil is a practical man. A big like to him. I am not Russian, I am Indian. Based on my limited knowledge, without a leader like Putin, Russia will be exploited badly by EU and USA. Examples are many. You can already see that they have reached your borders by adding post soviet republics in EU although they are not equal countries. By doing that the original EU got a cushion between them and Russia.

[@owand5017]

Putin’s strong stance to the other powers of the world is his positive side. But exploitation wise Putin puts big business owners in power who are corrupt and often steal big sums of money meant for public use. The problem with having strong leaders is that people who are given so much power always become corrupt.

[@wherewewent]

@@owand5017 The fact is that big business corporates are controlling every countries. It is impossible to find a leader who got 100% support of the citizens. In my opinion a leader who fend off the wolves and protect the country will be less corrupt. In this context both Putin and Trump are equally good. The media may bash Trump everyday but he thinks America first. That is a good leadership. That's why Trump got elected despite the worldwide media campaign against him !!.

They complained because they were being lied to about the severity of the virus. Lied to about the vaccines and forced to quit there jobs or were fired for not taking the vaccine. Also what does it matter if people complained, this is America we are allowed to complain if we dont like being lied to by our government.

That is an amazing video. You through your videos have shown us in the West a good picture of the people. I was surprised, happily so, how honest your relatives were in their comments. I am 72 and was always told how ruthless and cold Russians were. I follow several musicians and their family members on social media. It is good to hear that your people want much the same as us here in America. A government that is not our masters. To be happy, have a purpose and freedom to be successful in our businesses.

First time I came across your channel about 10 years ago, I was looking for a Russian alphabet and your " Russian ABC " on a green screen came to my attention and it is still one of the best source of learning Russian alphabet.

@@cirnolol9243 what the difference between Bashkirs and Tatars? As far as I know they are both predominantly of Muslim religion.

[@Zuzyandr]

About 50% russians, slightly less than 30% tatars and about 15-20% bashkirs. Also many tatars and bashkirs which living in cities speak only russian and don't understand their own languages.

[@Zuzyandr]

​@@paulsdancing5429 tatar and bashkir languages very similar - they mutually understandable. But history and traditional economy types of this nations is different. Now it's not noticeably, but historically tatars mostly is peasants and townspeople and bashkirs is nomadic and seminomadic breeders. Also tatars have more european appearance (commonly, but you can find caucasian bashkir and mongoloid tatar because both nations have many different tribes as their ancestors).

В России у вас 13% фиксированного подоходного налога. В такой стране, как Финляндия, около 50%. И это действительно коррупция в правительстве :)
