The basic conditions have not changed much since the middle ages. Just the technology. We're all serfs with flat screens.

I'm from Russia, but I lived in a number of countries (UK, Germany, Thailand) and have visited friends and relatives, who live in a few more, e.g. the USA. I think the little day-to-day things that you deal with are a lot simpler in Russia. For instance, Germany is held in high regard in Russia for its quality medicine. It is thought that if you have a complex condition, you can expect to get excellent treatment from the best doctors in a very nice hospital and the state-sponsored healthcare system will pay for it. However if you have something more mundane, expect to have a hard time getting an urgent appointment with the local clinic, then expect to spend an hour in the Wartezimmer (waiting room), then expect to get a recommendation like "here, take this ibuprofen and schedule an appointment at this specialized clinic that has a waiting list of two weeks". In Russia (more specifically, Moscow) it is the other way round. You can easily schedule an appointment the same day in your local clinic, the doctor will see you on time (quite literally, on the very minute that your appointment is scheduled), and, more often than not, he will try to do more, than the very bare minimum (the bare minimum is usually "here, take pill, come back in week if doesn't get better"). Sure, the bare minimum solves 90% of cases, but it's super-frustrating if you're in the remaining 10%: it feels like no one gives a shit, until it's your third appointment and you're like "dammit, doctor, this didn't help, that didn't help, it's been three weeks, can you please give my case some serious consideration?!". BUT if you have something serious, well, shit. You'll have to search far and wide for someone who specializes in conditions similar to yours and then chances are that the state will not cover your bill, since you're supposed to be treated at your local clinic and/or whichever hospital your local clinic has sent you to, not at the medical institute for XYZ where you went yourself, trying to find that single person in Russia who has studied infections of the upper third of the frontal half of the hyperafloglous gland*. *Yep, just made that up on the spot. Or freedom. In Germany you have free speech and freedom of assembly, but you are not allowed to, idk, install an AC on the apartment that you fucking own, because of ZE RULES. In Russia it is precisely the reverse. However, I have to admit that the lack of the "more important" freedoms have led Russia into such a situation, where I'm no longer able to enjoy the lesser, more mundane things and now I have neither.

@@poulnrgaard7820 there are problems with migration in germany, similar to those in other countries. But that's nothing new, after the 2. worldwar in the 1960s/1970s many Turks, Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese came to Germany to work here as "Gastarbeiter"(Guestworker). More than 3 million people of Turkish origin live in Germany. Since the 70s turkish people got extremely discriminated. And now Döner Kebab is considered German culture! In the 90s many "late resettlers" with german roots came from Russia. In the beginning it was said that they were not capable of integration, they split off, were considered uncultivated, coarse and brutal. In the 2000s it became apparent that the Russian-Germans were able to integrate very well. They are very hard-working, warm-hearted and familiar, as I know because I am in a relationship with a Russian-German girl myself. Integration/migration are therefore not unsolvable problems. Even after the refugee crisis in 2015, it was said that strange, brutal people from foreign cultures were coming. The situation has just calmed down a bit, and now Ukrainian women and children are coming to germany, fleeing from Russian bombs. And what do the german right-wing extremists claim? Say the Ukrainians are lazy, would only take advantage of Germany and should "defend" their homeland, with CHILDREN and women!? And which person do the European right-wing extremists see as the great ally: Wladimir Wladimirowitsch Putin! Prejudice is fueled to generate clicks, votes or profit, an endless scheme since thousands of years.

Sct Petersburg and Moscow, are like a country within a country. I have for the last 26 years had family in Sct Petersburg, and when they first came to visit here in Europe, they were very skeptical when I said I lived in a village. They had all the bad associations of primitiveness from Russian villages in mind, but when they came and saw "we had running water, the toilet was not in the street, and roads had asphalt", they lightened up somewhat. It is true as some say, if you have not lived in other places, how can you know and compare? I have lived in the following countries in extended periods and speak their languages: Denmark, Germany, Greenland, United States, and Sct. Petersburg, Russia. Where I retire is right on the border between Denmark and Germany, and I live and have realestate in both countries. That is absolutely the best place for me and my wife, and if talking about Russian speakers (many speak Russian but are not from Russia), they have settled here by the millions. So they have answered that question with their feet.

A U.S. food assistance program offered expanded benefits to many low-income Americans during the Covid emergency, but those benefits ended in February 2023. Further, new requirements demanded of food assistance beneficiaries by Republican lawmakers will surely cause large numbers of Americans to lose said assistance. If American employers paid their employees fairly, and landlords didn't gouge low-income folks on their rent, people wouldn't need such food assistance in the first place. There's room for both Russia and the U.S. to improve.

The latter category for most. And why? . . .

YES indeed. There are three reasons to this in my opinion: 1) Overly centralized government. Moscow sucks all the juices from rest of the country. Regions get leftovers, they are chronically underfinanced. Instead of investing into manufacturing and infrastructure, Putin invests into pointless shows, such as Sochi 2014. The solution to this is Swiss type direct democracy. 2) Poor education. Education is chronically undefinanced as well. Russia is lacking in some areas such as architecture, management, consulting, etc. 3) Oligarchs not interested in investing in Russia. For many years they've been buying huge yachts and storing money in European banks.

Russia is bragging about their GDP being on the rise, what they "forget" to tell the world is that it's due to the heavy cost of the "military operation" that is rapidly eating away the kremlin oil and gas nest-egg that was suppose to bolster the Russian economy over the next many years to come, but is now almost gone, so the positive development is not a good sign at all, because their economy will crash and burn when the money is all spend. There has also been talks in Russia about increasing the 20% VAT sales tax that applies to most goods and services, and the VAT Rate of 10% that applies to food, something the Russian government have done before, when they have been running out of money. Of cause such a move would only increase the inflation, and perhaps add 3-4 month extra before the Russian government run out of money, if they do not end their insane military spending. Russian state-backed media and business community have also petitioned the Russian Economic Ministry to introduce a six-day week for workers, due to the economic demands of the war in Ukraine, apparently without additional pay for the extra day of work. Russian TV propagandist Margarita Simonyan has also floated the idea that Russian citizens should have to work an extra two hours in munitions factories each day after their regular working hours (with no additional pay). So they know were their economy is heading.

And being woke doesn't mean to be into the latest philosophical trend or whatever. Means to be curious, to have critical thinking, to search for the truth. And what truth? Like some all powerful entity? Nope, not what i mean, and that's a whole another topic. Truth like hard freaking evidence. So many wars, all over the earth, have been fought for such hard evidence to be destroyed, hidden or replaced with a forgery.. Wake the f up. If u wish to find God, u will find God in nature.

I must say that this is one of the most intresting videos i have seen on this channel so far. It shows how greatly Russia has changed in the past decades. In the bigger cities like Moscow and Smolensk, many seem to have a good life. I would say that the living standard in Moscow is comparable to living in the West, if you look at income, for exempel. But in my eyes, it hurts to see a declining rural russia where many live in poverty. And that is the biggest difference between russia now, and the soviet union: the growing inequality between rural russia and the big cities. This video highlights this very clearly. In the rural areas, many even said it was better back then. I might even draw a parallell to the war in Ukraine tight now, because most soldiers are from places, which are similiar to what can be seen later in the video. This is happening while people in cities are enjoying pensions and decent income. It almost dels like two different worlds in a single country. Keep up your good work 1420!
