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 love my country; I was raised from the ground up that the U.S.A. is a symbol of freedom and democracy. Listening to you was extremely difficult for me, but if I to be being honest, I am seeing what you're seeing. You make good points, and it is a bitter pill for me to swallow. I don't blame you for leaving if people make you feel unwelcome. However, it is people like you that we need more of in this country. We have stagnated, and I have found that you are more American than some Americans I know. Thanks for the slap across the face, I think we need more of that, no matter how much it hurts to hear it. I still love my country, and I do my best to be a good citizen, not only of my country, but of the world as well. I only pray one day we will look in the mirror and see each other as fellow human beings.

Wow! You put into words perfectly my experiences as an American who has moved to Europe. Calling America a cult is EXACTLY what it's like!

I am also mixed race/ethnicity, half-Korean and half-American German. The only person here in the US besides another Korean who has correctly acknowledged my Korean ancestry without me saying anything was a Russian tourist who stopped in the gas station I was working in at the time as a young man. This would have been around 25 years ago. After conversing with him for a little, I found him to be a really cool guy and very down to earth. He was helping to fund his trip across our country by selling these beautiful artistic prints. I bought two from him. One was of a pair of hands holding the Earth (Christian meaning) which I gifted to my mother and another of Neuschwanstein Castle which I kept for myself. We still have them today.

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

You're not only a good looking girl but also have BRAINS. You're very philosophical. Those who have a right mental thinking will eventually move towards a brighter side of the world and bring more lights back to the rest of the world. May the wisdom of light shines your life and everyone's life, including those who live in America.

Вы супер пара 💞, я из Украины , очень горжусь вами, хоть и идет война , мы все равно остаемся братьями, молодцы что пртехали в Россию , я сейчас живу в Ирландии из за обстрелов в моем городе🤝💞любви вам, я хотел переехать в Америку но посмотрел видео и вы открыли мне глаза спасибо 🙏

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.

I moved from the US (Florida) to Greece. I love it here!! I think it’s the best move we made, especially having a young child. Things are crazy in the US right now and it looks like it’s only getting worse.

I am Russian but studying in Italy, and you motivated me to speak my opinion, because I was scared of some bullying for my opinion on different topics. So now you gave me some braveness. Thank you!

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

I was born in England,left as soon as possible never went back

I don't know why i see your video while I was scrolling through youtube, but I'm glad I clicked it and watched it. It provides a good insight and you definitely deserve a subscription from me. 😉👍

Hi same here I left France for Russia

Honey, you are right on point with everything that you said!!!! I was born in 1972, and in my lifetime I've watched this country mutate into something unrecognizable to the country that i grew up in as a kid. I moved my family from a super populated area of scum, crime , gangs, drugs, and violence, to a very small country town in a heavily forested area. This country has really gone down hill. Thank you for this video. It's very informative. I'm very happy for you that you followed your heart and found your happiness. ❤

Hello Sasha, I am a first time guest to your channel and as a American citizen, born and raised in the USA I can confirm I think everything you have offered in your reasons for leaving the USA to be true in so many ways. Of course every coin has two sides however, as you have said, the USA has indeed change and it is not at all like the USA I grew up in. I am 65, and I also feel that many of the American values that are wholesome and traditional are loosing ground to the 'woke' and overly liberal x% of the population. I say 'x%' because I don't know the REAL percentage, regardless of the actual percentage it makes me VERY uncomfortable to be forced to live within that construct. We have indeed become quite divided as a nation but I see there are many patriots remaining that are trying hard to restore or at least maintain the founding father's vision of our nation, based on a genuine faith (not an ideology), prosperity, and a well written Constitution. My wife is Russian, we have been married for 7 years. I am actually writing this from Moscow Russia, I will be here, my 4th visit, for 30 days. Each time I come I stay for a month. We have been trying to complete the LEGAL immigration process for her to come to the USA for going on 4 years. The legal process is very slow and it seems like they do just about everything they can to block you from crossing the finish line. We are both well educated, healthy, have no criminal record at all, we are both professionals and employed, good wage earners and it's all very well documented. Like you, when I am in Moscow I do not feel the tensions that I experience in the USA. My wife wants to come to the USA and bring her unmarried adult son here also, not so easy and a very long cycle, like maybe 10+ years. I might not live to see that day! She feels there is more opportunity for her and her son in the USA than in Moscow. She is a real estate professional in Moscow, selling homes and apartments and the pay of course is not much typically. Certainly not what it is in the USA for a licensed real estate agent. Her dream and mine is to own our own home (again) in the USA. That being said, the more I visit Moscow, the more I like it here. Moscow has it's own challenges of course, but that tension from the USA lifestyle and society just doesn't exist here. I'm having 2nd thoughts about bringing her to the USA and wondering if maybe that train is going in the wrong direction. Maybe I should be looking at migrating like a goose that laid the golden egg to Moscow. The current war sanctions are indeed making it all so difficult these days for us to just be together and be happy with that alone. Thanks for your interest and patience if you made it this far, I enjoyed the video and have shared it with my wife. I await her comments. #THANKS #STAYSAFE

This is one of the best videos on YouTube. Sasha, I'd write at least one article for Postil magazine. They'll publish it in a New York second, I am sure, given your excellent presentation. You hit on all the major points spot on! You made the best decision in your life. Thank God you are young. I made the mistake in high school of not learning Russian and following your great example. Yes, I subscribed. You have fine values. I'd present you as a fine example, if I were still teaching ethics. P.S. - I love your video/cartoon "inserts".
