The girl, especially for you, was looking for bad landscapes. :) This is enough in any country. Russia, over the past 30 years, has gone through a lot of bad things. And now, in any city in Russia, you can find very unattractive architecture, etc. But there is also a lot of new and good things. The girl did not show this. (Google translator)

​@@user-rp3ex8mj7z, I'm not sure there is such thing as good or bad landscapes when it comes to conveying the spirit of daily life in any country. Because the point of it is to give people the feeling of what it's like to live there and go places. If you just show the most beautiful places, you will convey wrong picture, it's like when you are a tourist and you only remember tourist attraction spots after leaving, not the narrow streets or the courtyards with kids playing with their sticks. I've seen many Russians trying to showcase Russian attractions and architecture (mostly in Moscow with the latter), but what they showed never felt like Russia to me, because they have omitted the bad pieces of roads where puddles form after rain or the Soviet Union-old buildings with ugly graffity and swearwords painted on them that I grew up seeing every day. Or the people, their tired or gloomy faces when they hurry to work or to other important places, all busy and worried and trying to be punctual and being frustrated with our municipal services etc. The point of this exercise is not to demonstrate how cool we are by picking the most beautiful places of Russia, but to relay the real picture with both the beautiful and the ugly, so that the foreigners could feel the life here even if they haven't been to Russia once. And if someone thinks it's more respectful to Russia to show only good stuff about it, then I disagree strongly, because there can't be any respect without acknowledgement of true state of things.

@@user-gd6il5zb8l In the 1990s, European and US politicians actively supported corruption in the countries of the former USSR (this is a fact). What is corruption (for real), we learned after the collapse of the USSR. In the days of the USSR, it was almost nonexistent (as it turned out). A lot of resources were taken from the former USSR. The people have become very poor. All these resources supported the economies of Europe and the United States (in the first place). It was a real genocide of Europe and the United States against the peoples of the former USSR. This is exactly how it was (I don’t know what your media say there, I experienced it all myself). Wherever Europe comes in, it only gets worse (with a few exceptions). Now Russia has just begun to recover from the shock of the 1990s. And now in Russia it is much safer and more comfortable than in many other countries. Yes, somewhere in the cities of Russia there is the architecture of the 1990s. But this is less and less. The West brought great grief to the countries of the former USSR. I'm from Ukraine. Ukrainian oligarchs are guilty of Ukraine's troubles (in the first place). They, too, were raised by Western politicians. I know what I'm talking about. Since independence, the population of Ukraine has dropped from 52 million to 30-32 million. Even before the Maidans, Ukraine lived better than Russia. Now the comparison is in favor of Russia. In Ukraine, there is now a real junta and fascists. And Europe (oddly enough) does not see this.

If I'm remembering correctly, Russian had an additional letter that wasn't used heavily so the Bolsheviks dropped it when they seized power in 1917. Is the one in this video that same letter or is it a different letter?

In Belarusian the dots MUST be written. If you don't, it's a spelling error.

wow thank you, this is useful!

Russian has two versions of each consonant sound. When you say the vowel [i] as in "easy" or the semivowel [j] as in "yes", you lift the body of your tongue towards your palate. Besides your normal consonant sounds, Russian has a whole series of palatalized consonants, where you raise the body of your tongue AT THE SAME TIME that you pronounce it. To write these consonants, you follow them by a soft vowel (я е и ю), or, if there’s no vowel sound after them, you use the soft sign (ь).

It's basically a silent letter. It's like how the letter "g" produces the pronunciation of the word "sign".

@@JesusChristSaves2024 it changes the previous consonant tho. Sign [saın] but sin [sın] so it changes the vowel While топь [topĵ] but топ [top] -- the consonant is changed

@@fernandolamadrid9889 why tho

​@@sumrose7972 don't worry guys, Russians will understand you either way, you will get it after awhile

are you planning to start learning Russian one day?

May I ask what you use, or used? I've only been in about a week, full, and I'm teaching myself. I use aps, and website, watch lots of youtube/videos, and Music! But I'd love to hear from someone who is way deeper than I am. Thank you in advance. :)

@@sumrose7972 I think the best way is movies with subtitles. Television series actually, because you hear the same voice of same actors for a long time (20-40-100 episodes), while movies de facto too short. And better not to watch historical movies where actors often talk not like nowadays (different structure of phrases, words order, outdated words, different means, Russians understand such language, it is really cool approach which put viewer in historical context, but it is not what you want when studying language). But not sure that it is easy approach for newbies (I’m Polish, Russian is similar with a lot of common words, so for me it was easy).

@@juliap.5375 ah yes, thank you, I am actually always trying to find Russian tv shows, free on youtube with subtitles, but I will say finding something that I actually want to watch is not easy. It's almost all historical pieces, really lame love melodramas, or action/war stuff. I'd like a comedy, and for whatever reason doesn't seem to offer any. I've watched one series, The Housewife Husband?? (Think that's the name) and currently settled on The Dark Side of the Soul, if you have any suggestions I'd love to try and find a comedy or something light. :)

@@sumrose7972 I don’t know about first (even not found), while second show... it filmed by Star Media, they produce cheap movies for housewives over 50s. First of all, you need to forget about youtube, on it possibly to find only videos for which nobody want to pay (like production of Star Media). You need torrents! :) One of the largest in post-USSR is rutracker. Or rutor-info (they often change name, better to open via Tor. I hope you know what is Tor?). Both have almost everything what produced in Russia, USA, some other countries. So, you can watch almost any movie (from Terminator to Game of Thrones) with Russian subtitles or voice, everything is always dubbed (in some countries dub is not popular, while in Russia otherwise, original soundtracks are rare, but always exist bunch of different dubs). Comedies? Complicated question. You know, humor is not universal thing actually and a lot of jokes based on references to some culture aspects which unknown for foreigns. As example I watched American sitcom The Big Bang Theory with my American colleague, and in some non-funny scene he started to laugh. As he explained to me, actually in scene was reference to American movie from 1930s... How to get this? Impossibly. There are tons of comedies, what exactly you want? For teens, adults, secondary genre? As universal comedy I strongly recommend Кухня (“The Kitchen” on Amazon). It is actually whole universe (6 seasons of main show, additionally 3 movies and 4 spin-off), they so popular, that own remakes made several countries, from Portugal to Georgia. As something light I can recommend “Восьмидесятые”, but for it is hard to find subtitles. It is about life of students in late 1980s, light and very funny. And last one “Мажор” (“Silver Spoon” on Netflix), it is detective, in general light, with a lot of humor (remind in something American “Castle”). There are hundreds more of course (sadly it is hard to find subtitles), need to know what exactly you like, but I think “The Kitchen” and rest will be good start (at least enough for one year). And forget about Star Media, search better for shows of СТС and ТНТ, they produce by several funny tv shows per year.

@@juliap.5375 haha yes Star Media, exactly.. I was starting to wonder about Russian tv. And yes totally familiar with TOR, so I'll utilize that. Thank you. Good call. Yeah comedy is subjective, for sure, but I am currently looking at the show The Kitchen on Amazon, and it also appears to be suggesting other shows for me to look into. Yeah it used to be you really could find anything and Everything on KZfaq if you were willing to look, now there's nothing left. I wish someone would come out with a new platform, cause this youtube is making it very difficult for me to like anymore. Thank you very much for your help. I very much appreciate it.

But still "БАНК". "В" in Russian means V

nah she has a Russian accent but it's way subtler than most Russians

Because she went study in America.

@@RowynDaily It was interesting listening to English-speaking Russians and Chinese in the 80s and 90s. Most Russians I heard spoke English with a European accent, because most of their exposure to English came from British or continental Europeans who spoke or taught English. On the other hand, most Chinese I heard spoke English with an American accent because of the influx of American teachers to teach English in China after President Nixon relaxed diplomatic relations with the PRC.
