Я помню 2016. Мы тогда всей страной на Госуслугах голосовали за Трампа.

I think in his book Crime and Punishment, Dostoyevskiy said the most efficient way to imprison a man is to convince him he is not in prison. This is why we Americans are constantly told how amazingly free we are.

I am an American, but everything you have mentioned, is so very true. You are very intelligent, and honest with your feelings and opinions. I wish you the best in your future. Much love ♥

I am an American and I went to Russia before and honestly I did feel happier when I was in Russia. I rode a zipline in Moscow and when I landed, the workers were telling me in Russian " why aren't you smiling !" " did you not have fun !". I became happy after that and I also liked how I didn't see homelessness in Russia, the food was always amazing, Moscow looked like a whole new world to me. I was also brainwashed not to tell Russians that I am American because I was worried they will hate me. But it was actually the opposite because they started asking me so much questions about America since it turned on their curiosity. I loved Russia and hopefully I get to go back there

Думал будет треш, в комментах, от иностранных зрителей, но люди спокойно отреагировали - за это респект! 👍 Спасибо, за искренность)

Dear Sasha - I'm an old man, did my military service in times of "cold war" when my home-country Germany was devided by the "Iron Curtain" and we waited much of the time for s wave of tanks with the Red Star crushing us down. Well - it took decades, then they came. Warm-hearted friendly people from almost every country that had been faced Western Europe, bringing with them their spouses and childred, not a word any more about tanks and a new Russian Federaton had friendly allowed Germany to reunite. And though times have turned darker again I really love to watch you (and some others) present to us the beauty of Russia, its many cultures - making me ashamed ever again of what "The West" has turned into. And I've even started learning your wonderful language. In a former millenium I lerned democracy and citicenship from Americans, many of them then stationed here. Now I think I will learn from the rich culture of "Mother Russia". I hope you will present us with a lot more videos. And

Same as me. I left the US on May 10th, 1996. I joined the US Navy and got stationed here in Japan. Fast forward til now, im still here. Happy 28yrs here 🗾🇯🇵

I’m 66 years old now, and with my personal experience of living in the United States over the last 50 years, I completely agree with you. I would like to move to Europe/Russia myself

I'm an Orthodox Christian from America. Russian immigrants helped me become the man I am, and who I hope to be one day. I think your spot on, Sasha. God put me in America, hopefully one day He will put me in Russia! God bless you, and to all Orthodox Christians, С Праздником, a blessed Palm Sunday and a blessed Pascha next week!!! ☦️🕊🙏🇷🇺🤝🇺🇲

When you said that your teacher in the International Relations class told you that you weren't allowed to speak Russian, I completely lost my mind. Teaching international relations and no foreign language allowed. That's a typical American political mind. It took me 53 years to figure out everything you mentioned in that video. You're really amazing! I've never been to Russia. I never imagined it because of all the wrong things I've seen and heard about Russia from here. Well, I started to open my eyes after this war Russia is fighting against you know who. I begin to look closer at Russia with my own eyes from every possible source I can find out there. That's how I found your channel and I'm very grateful. I really respect your courage to follow your beliefs and your steps forward. To answer your question, I really enjoyed hearing your deeper thoughts.

American here. This is one of the saddest and truest videos I have ever seen. I don’t know how to get out. I am getting old and my time is growing shorter. For my sons, I fear…

The new American Dream is to leave America and move to a place where they can live in freedom and privacy and not have to fear the Government

In the 2 months I've been in Russia, I feel so much healthier, lost weight, and feel so much better. We are 100% poisoned in America. My IBS is GONE my allergies ARE GONE, even my skin is much better. I'm not doing anything at all. What. I agree with Sasha that there is some tension you always live in the US, you come to Russia, and you only then realize the tension you were living in. You don't feel it when you are there. Being here was such a breath of fresh air. No homeless, no drugs, no obesity, no trash, no crime, no mental illness, no anti family propaganda. All you see iutside is kids or couples hanging out. Beautiful.

You pretty much summed up everything why I left the US and moved to Russia! If someone asks me why I did that, this is the video I'll be referring to. Thank you so much for this!

This is confirmation for me to move abroad. Thank you for being transparent and sharing! After I visited Europe this February, I fell in love. ❤

I am an American Patriot and I agree with everything you are saying Sasha. It is my hope that we as Americans and as a country can get back to the basics of family God and Country as soon as possible. I pray for my Country and the wqorld.

Вы невероятно открытая и милая девушка. Так просто и доступно говорить о своём опыте! Не перестаю вами восхищаться! Я очень рад, что в Россию вернулся такой замечательный человек😊

The production value of this video is wild for someone with "only" 70k subscribers. Well done!

Hi Sasha, Thanks for your video. I can relate, although my path was slightly different. I was born long ago in America but was becoming more uncomfortable in America by the day. Fourteen years ago, I moved to ShenZhen, China, ironically, about 15 minutes by high speed train from your home. For most of the reasons you mention, I am very comfortable hear with no regrets having left.
