I left Russia over a year ago, looking for a life in a more free and open country. Since then, I've been looking for a new country to live in. However, thanks to Wealthy Expat here on You Tube I no longer have to do that! It turns out that Russia is actually a country people want to move to to escape "woke culture". In fact, Wealthy Expat has done a few videos explaining how moving to countries with no human rights is BASED because these countries have no WOKENESS. Yes, this is yet another case of an American conservative idolizing Russia and Eastern Europe and their perceived "traditional values", with a fanbase full of lonely men who think they'll find themselves a wife in Belarus. As a Russian, I thought it would be fun to react to. Let's check out Wealthy Expat's "Best Countries to Escape Woke Culture" video and see what it's all about.

That their definition of an ideal "Traditional Values" culture seems to match their sexual tastes seems to be a common thread.
I recall another guy making a list of "better" countries to migrate in basically ranking it on how attractive their women were, along with how easy it was to find hookups or how willing their women were to marry western expats. And nor was anything was actually based upon hard data or statistics, just pure opinion.
Normally I'd try and search up which idiot in the manosphere said that, but I'm afraid of my search results getting tainted.

I've already reacted to Andrew Tate and his awful opinions on Russia and Putin on this channel, and today we're doing it again! This time Andrew Tate went on Tucker Carlson, and among many topics, they also discussed Russia and Ukraine. As a Russian, I am almost convinced that they are literally spreading Russian propaganda after watching it. So, what are the newest takes of Tucker Carlson & Andrew Tate on Russia? And what does this Tucker interview expose about the American right and their sympathies towards Russia?

Since Russia is a country that is isolated from the West to a certain degree, a lot of Westerners are interested in what Russian people think. As a result of this, many Russian street interview channels started becoming popular on You Tube, such as 1420 and Moscow Streets. I do personally enjoy a lot of this content, however, I believe that these Russian interviews should be taken with a grain of salt and shouldn't be treated as an actual representation of the public opinion in Russia, since it is a country with a lot of censorship and no free speech. I've already talked about this in my video about if 80% of Russians really support the 'special operation' - polls are not a very reliable source in a dictatorship, and street interviews suffer from the same issue. So, let's talk about censorship and persecution in Russia, as well as discuss the problem with Russian street interviews!

I mean, that’s a problem with street interviews in general. The person doing the interviews will always handpick the answers so what’s in the final cut isn’t necessarily representative.

We have reacted to a lot of awful Russian propaganda on this channel, and in today's video we're about to see one of the worst ones yet. RT recently created a propaganda video smearing Germany, essentially describing Germans as completely broke because of their financial support for Ukraine, as well as calling Ukrainians and Germans N*zis. Best part is: all of this was made for people to think the video was made in Germany by Af D to make fun of the German government. Let's see what Russian propaganda has come up with this time and react to it from a Russian perspective!

We've already talked about Westerners who idolize Russia and support Putin on this channel, as well as Z Westerners who create Russian propaganda on how life in Russia is actually so much better than the West. Recently I stumbled across a video on the 1420 Russian street interview channel, in which various foreigners are interviewed on living in Russia. Some of them had decent reasons, but a few Americans in this video had some insane takes: essentially saying that Russia is a conservative paradise with no "WOKE CULTURE", and that Russia actually has more freedom than America. As a Russian who lived in Russia my entire life, I find this very ironic. So, let's react to a few Z Americans living in Russia and see why they moved to Moscow!

Modern Putin's Russia is known for it's anti-Western ideology and propaganda. However, that has not always been the case. Not many people today remember that at the start of his rule Vladimir Putin wanted to join NATO and wanted to be friends with the West - even calling the USA & Europe allies and thinking of Russia joining EU. The young Vladimir Putin also had more democratic views at the time. However, throughout many years the relationship between Russia and NATO deteriorated, and Putin, who was once a friend of the West, became an adversary. So, why did Putin want to join NATO in the first place? What went wrong? And how is Ukraine related to all of this? Let's examine the history of Vladimir Putin and his relationship with the West.

On this channel we've already talked about how Russia banned Instagram & Facebook, as well as how Russia has full control of Russian social media and Russian TV, spreading propaganda through them. However, not many people in the West know that Russia actually has the power to control and ban content that they don't like on You Tube and other Western platforms! And yes, Russia still has that power, even now. All of this is very worrying and could possibly be very damaging to freedom of speech and information in Russia and the world. So, in today's video we'll look at a few examples of how Russia still has control over Western social media, what this could mean for YOU, and discuss what could be done!

I left Russia 1.5 years ago. Since then, I have felt a lot of conflicting things regarding my country: hopelessness, anger, disappointment, longing and love. I've been making comedic and analytical videos about Russia and Russian propaganda, and the nature of my content leads some people to believe that I actually HATE Russia and I'm some kind of Russophobia ambassador. In today's video we'll be discussing my honest feelings on modern Russia and what I want for the Russian people. It's very simple: I just want them to be free and to be able to lead a normal peaceful life. Why do I think of Russia the way I do? What are the things that led me to this worldview? Let's talk about it.

I've talked about Russian propaganda a lot on this channel, and I've already mentioned Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov as one of the main spokesmen of Putin's Russia. Well, today we are witnessing the collab of the century: the infamous Alex Jones went on Russian TV and had a conversation with Solovyov, discussing Ukraine, America, Russia and the world. And as you might expect, it was absolutely unhinged. Alex Jones even STARTED CRYING at a certain point in the podcast! So, what did the collab of a Z patriot and a right-wing conspiracy theorist bring to us? Let's check it out and react to the newest Соловьев LIVE interview with Alex Jones!

I left Russia over a year ago, and since then I've covered a lot of Russian propaganda and heavily discussed the ideology of Putin's Russia. In my opinion, one of the worst cases of Russian propaganda is the propaganda in Russian schools: now every Russian kid has to visit mandatory "patriotic" classes in school, in which children are brainwashed into the Z ideology. A lot of people laugh these attempts of Russia to influence the people, but I think otherwise: it's actually very serious and is already doing a lot of damage. In this video we'll talk about how Z propaganda works on the Russian youth. I'll also discuss what it was like for me growing up in Putin's Russia, and what it's like for kids these days.

I usually talk about Russian propaganda on this channel, but today is a little different: we will talk about CHINA! China is a country that gets criticized a lot these days, with many YouTubers saying that China is collapsing and that the Chinese economy is crashing. I'm not a fan of the Chinese propaganda and government either, but I have great news: we finally have a man that is ready to make China a free democratic country! Meet Qingen Xu, the Chinese Tik Toker that wants to become president of China through Tik Tok. What is Xu Qingen all about? Where did he come from? And is he really China's LAST CHANCE?!

I left Russia 1.5 years ago, and every since then I've been keeping up with Russian propaganda, Russian economy and how sanctions on Russia work. Well, it turns out that sometimes they don't work as they were supposed to - many today claim that EU sanctions against Russia are failing.
In my opinion, several examples of EU sanctions actually help Putin more than inconvenience him, and more often than not the decisions and statements made by Western politicians basically feed right into Russian propaganda about how THE WEST WANTS TO DESTROY RUSSIA.
In this video we'll look at those few examples. Sanctions removed from Russian oligarchs? Check. Blatant hypocrisy? Check. Taking away personal possessions at the border? Check. Going after the average joe instead of the actual benefactors of Putin's regime? Check. I'll also talk about the recent drama regarding Russia featuring the Czech president Petr Pavel and Estonian PM Kaja Kallas. Ready for a controversial video?

Since I left Russia, I've touched on the topic of sanctions on Russia and how they affect the regular people a bunch of times on this channel. In today's video we will look at another example: a story of a Russian Fortnite pro player Daniil 'Putrick' Abdrakhmanov, who won a FNCS Major and was denied his $200,000 prize win because of his location. Daniil, 18, together with his teammate, 17, moved to Belarus, which was not on the list of the banned countries. This brings up the question - if all Russians are responsible for Putin, are Russian teenagers and kids supposed to be responsible for him as well? Where do we draw the line? Did Epic Games do the right thing? And what are the deeper implications?

I've reacted to a ton of bad Russian propaganda on this channel - from videos calling Russians who left TRAITORS to videos 'criticizing' the West. However, some of the most entertaining moments always came from Z concerts Russia likes to throw. We've already reacted to Russia's 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY concert, which was an absolute Z fever dream. Today we are reaching new levels: now Russian propaganda concerts are being thrown in North Korea. Today we'll check out Russia's new allies, renewed 'friendship' with North Korea and react to a dystopian Russian & North Korean concert that took place in Pyongyang recently. Including songs from the worst Russian propaganda music artists such as SHAMAN, of course.

Everyone on the internet has been recently discussing the Main Character Syndrome. Essentially, a main character is a cocky person who thinks the world revolves around them and is not afraid to show it on social media. In the light of recent events in Israel and Gaza, a few 'main characters' have popped up to discuss Israel vs Palestine, and sometimes the lack of self-awareness is just amazing. In today's video we'll react to NYC fashion influencer Danielle Bernstein who is a true main character in times of war. Also, we'll discuss my channel and my videos - am I also a main character that makes what's happening in Ukraine & Russia about himself?

As a Russian who left Russia after the start of the 'special operation' in Ukraine, I like to follow what the West does and says quite a lot. In the recent weeks, seeing the Israel Gaza conflict unfold, I have come to an unfortunate conclusion - it seems like the West's supposed disapproval of imperialism and colonialism only exists when we talk about countries that are enemies of the US, such as Russia. Is Russia and Ukraine comparable to Israel and Gaza? No, not quite. But I do think that now is a good time to discuss collective responsibility and how the world cancels countries. Why is the West denouncing Russia, but not Israel?

Nice to hear how a Russian expat would view the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, especially from the perspective of one who's currently holding a Visa that's persona-non-grata in more than half of the world.
Still... he might've forgotten the context of the war does make a difference in public perception. The Russian-Ukrainian war was largely unprovoked and condemned by damn near everyone (save for Russia's closest allies), whereas people are far more divided due to Israel's behavior even in the West to the point that some believe in supporting Israel not out of moral outrage but due to pragmatic realpolitik.

Russia is known as a country that has some issues with free speech. Such simple things as protests or street interviews are very dangerous to take part in. However, Russia's laws don't apply to everyone! As long as you're a Russian propaganda pundit, you can spill any sort of hateful rhetoric you want. For example - suggesting killing Russians who don't like Putin! Such an 'idea' was recently proposed on Russian TV. Any statement like this would send a regular Russian to prison, but Z people get to say it just fine. Why is this the case? And why is there no rule of law in Putin's Russia?

I left Russia almost 2 years ago, and since then I've reacted to a bunch of Russian propaganda in which Z Westerners living in Russia talk about how awesome Moscow is. We've been seeing tons of videos of Americans in Russia going viral recently, and a lot of people in the West these days seem to think that they need to move to Russia to 'have more freedom'. Well, the truth is that Russia is becoming more and more dangerous for foreigners - a new law was just proposed to put all the foreigners in Russia under a strict monitoring regime, making them sign a 'loyalty agreement' that bans you from criticizing Russia as a foreigner living in Russia. What does this mean? And how is this related to that time when Bald and Bankrupt got arrested in Russia? Let's talk about it.
