Moscow locals: casually walking around, enjoying warm evening Sly: paranoid survival mode, danger behind every corner!

Все в комментариях удивляются чистоте, а я удивляюсь их удивлению))

listen, my advice to you, don't worry about sticking out, i ride the metro with black people every day cause there are many african students here, i went to middle school with 4 black kids, people are used to it, even if they look at you, it's not in a negative way, we just like to look at interesting people :D

Очень волнуюсь всегда за иностранцев в России, переживаю чтобы их не обидели и у них не сложилось негативного впечатления, надеюсь все будет хорошо🙏🏻

In Russia, skin color and eye color are not important, the main thing is that the person is good

I’m African and have lived in Russia for over 5 years. You’ll be fine so long as you stick to the usual rules. Moscow is great! Enjoy your time there 😁

It's really nice to see all the Russians being so warm and welcoming in the comments. Thank you guys!

Смотрела с таким интересом ак будто не живу тут всю жизнь

Помни - если у тебя возникают любые медицинские проблемы - ты можешь вызвать скорую помощь, и они тебе помогут бесплатно и быстро. Служба эксьренных вызовов в России 112. Не бойся спрашивать у лей помощи - не откажут.

К слову о безопасности. Обратите внимание, что Вы единственный кто нес рюкзак на груди) Я слышал, что так делают в небезопасных странах, когда опасаются за свое имущество. У нас в основном все носят рюкзаки за спиной)

Moskova çok güzel ve güvenli bir şehir.. Türkiye'den selam..

Ребята, расскажите ему, что у нас не принято носить рюкзак впереди. 😂😂😂Таким образом он наоборот привлекает внимание.

Lived in Moscow for ten years as a black person. It was a very exciting place to be.

Обожаю смотреть видео иностранца который впервые приезжает в Россию и воспринимает все это как приключение. С точки зрения местных это забавно и интересно. Welcome to Russia, dude!

I’m working in moscow business taxi. And i miss good old days when a lot of foreign tourists come to city. It was great people with interesting lives. We had a great conversations, and i found good friends among them.

I've visited Moscow twice. What a stunning city, very clean, beautiful and people are helpful and kind. I will come back as soon as I can...cheers from Brazil 🥰

Interesting. No homeless in the metro station AND it's clean? Never seen that once in the U.S.

My first trip to Moscow ended everything I saw on heard on American TV. It’s NOTHING like what Hollywood portrayed or politicians view Russia. My first impression of Moscow 2012 was how clean it is. Moscow is bigger than NYC, but NYC is a dump. Moscow subways and buses are more cleaner and functional than any US city. The people are wonderful. I too am a man of color and I speak Russian so it was easy to ask for directions and everyone are willing to help. As an American, on a train of 100 people, I would say 10 are obese. Whereas if it was the USA, it would’ve been 80 people are obese. That’s noticeable. The women, GOD DAMN, almost heaven. Sly, ain’t lying about the women. They are clever and they will test your manhood (that’s the Soviet blood in them). But after getting through the thick shell of their personality, great rewards. The dollar goes a long way, but I know Sly went cheap. The little apt, you get what you pay for. At $60 a night you’ll find a 3 or 4 star place. Overall, I recommend MORE Americans to visit Moscow and St. Pete’s. Personally St. Pete’s is a bit more fun than Moscow but no way a disappointment.

I am from Switzerland, I arrived in Russia on a business trip to the city of Yekaterinburg and it was a shock to me that here in a hotel you can pee standing up at night and flush the toilet and the police will not fine you for making noise! This is a country for a real normal life!

Какой вежливый джентельмен, постоянно беспокоился о громкости своего голоса, чтобы не потревожить соседей в отеле и даже в поезде 😊 мне кстати показалось, что отель дороговат, но я давно не смотрела цены и не знаю, нормальная это цена или нет

This isn’t America, people are not obsessed with skin color 😂

It’s amazingly clean everywhere! Metro stations seem to be museums! No rats down there? Where are the homeless? Bikes and scooters aren’t stolen? KGB didn’t arrest you and you weren’t placed in prison? No bears with vodka in the street?No graffiti on the walls? No, it can’t be the truth. 😂 I DON’T believe what I see ! Russia 🇷🇺 is THE BEST! God bless the Russians! Thanks for the video bro ❤

talkin about the skin colour thing. the first time i visited america 2 yrs ago as a german i was shocked by the relevance of skin colour in the daily life. i was there at a college in boston and also travelled around the country a bit and experienced a lot of situations among the students but also in everyday life where colour played a role. i was e.g. personally addressed as a "white boy" in negative kontext, but also in positive contexts e.g. in humor and stuff... skin colour played a huge role. im a very open person, living in frankfurt am main which is a very multiculti city so i was hanging with a lot of different people. And i really had a great time - dont get me wrong . but i expected a lot of "nazi" jokes, but most of them were just "white" jokes. i noticed that a lot, it felt like a black/white thing which seems to be very relevant in america. not only in a bad way, even in humor and everyday life. dont get me wrong, but for me this was so dumb :D as a european this makes absolutely no sense to me. in europe alone there are so many nationalities and different ethnicities and we are sooo extremely different from each other. for each country there are steriotypes and different elements that describe the respective nation. all of them are white. same goes for africa i guess. every european will be able to call you the typical steriotypes of a french, english, irish, swedish, polish, italian, spanish, croation, greek, turkish, morrocan, tunisian, nigerian... and so on.... and i know that is very subjective but it felt like in america there is only black, white and hispanic.. for me, this is clearly an american thing. I think in russia, people give ZERO fucks about your colour

My gosh, Moscow looks so clean, modern and upscale. Not the dark, dreary pics I’ve seen elsewhere during a snowy winter.

Russians in general are a very clean people. They wash their cars often, they clean their shoes often. Their restaurants are MUCH cleaner than in the US and they dont have sticky tables when you sit down. X.x The issue they have is climate is rough, and destroys infrustructure and roads at a much faster rate. Also they put sand on roads every year, so there is a period of the year where the roads are dirty with dust and sand. Then it gets cleaned up for the summer. This is because of climate. People need to realize Russia has a lot of infrastructure upkeep that is required because of their climate that many other places just dont have.

Russia is homeland of great poet with afticans roots, Alexander Pushkin!

Спасибо за то, что ты приехал в Россию и показал её такой какая она есть. Ты очень толерантный турист и было безумно приятны твои комментарий по поводу «тонких стен» и «попробую заснять наш диалог, если получится». В действительности Москва поражает воображение, особенно по сравнению с NY. Чистый, большой и красивый город. Я сам переехал в Москву из города, который в 40 раз меньше Москвы и могу сказать одно - маленькие города тоже могут быть красивыми и чистыми. Просто менее богатыми. Особенно те, которые стоят у Реки. С удовольствием рассказал бы о красивых местах в Москве и в России еще, you are welcome!

Я так рад что приезжают такие классные туристы! Надеюсь везде успел погулять и посмотреть всё!

I like how respectful you are about the noise. Americans tend to be loud, while in Russia it’s considered rude. I’m sure you’ll be fine for the rest of your trip. Russian people are very kind and cultured. And many in Moscow can at least understand English. So if you need help just ask.

I will be flying into Belgrade from US in August, then into Russia after spending some time in Serbia. I'm excited as heck to visit both countries!!! Peace to all my fellow humans🙂

You so respectful and golable at places, it's very touching. I've been few times in Russia and every time I was put aside for thorough passport check as a US citizen and every time they let me through. I hear you man. Thanks for what you doing. We people need more guys like you who breaks stereotypes. You are so brave going without knowing Russian language. You are from Seattle?! I'm from Everett

I visited Moscow a few years ago and fell in love with atmosphere and people.. it’s a kinda classy city

One thing I like about Sly is how respectful he is compared to all the other travel vloggers

Tucker Carlsson didn't lie! Moscow looks very clean and people are very helpful.

Брат ты большой молодец, с любовью из России!! Пускай Господь Бог хранит и благославит тебя и твою семью!

Great video! But please, don't be afraid to film military people in PUBLIC places, don't be afraid to film ANYTHING in PUBLIC places (restaurants, shops, metro, etc), unless someone explicitly tells you not to film them. ! Many other videobloggers do film and nothing happens to them.

It's pleasant to see a tourist being considerate to locals. Doesn't film if it can bring discomfort, doesn't speak loudly where it might be inappropriate, doesn't make noise to avoid waking up neighbours. All what I would personally ask for.

Iam a swede living i Russia. I love the country. And i really love yr style. You sound as a good fellow and Russia will also be very happy to see you again.

Refreshing that you are visiting without any preconceptions. I't's a superb time of year to visit Moscow. Some great river resorts. Beautiful parks. Have an amazing time!

Thank you for being so respectful and open-minded!

What really stood out to me immediately is how clean everything is and no homeless people tweaking out. Must be nice not seeing people overdosing on the streets like they do in Canada smh

Anda que loco, jajajajaj, enjoy the trip, it's crazy. Very brave, I went to Moscow in July with my sister, she was scared, without me she would not have taken a step, I told her to go out alone and she told me you're crazy, she took advantage of me as much as she could, I studied in Moscow and I know the city well, plus the people are very friendly and help you with anything you need, the last straw was that I arrived at the hotel at night and a lady wanted to pay us for the hotel because we didn't have enough rubles. The people at the hotel were amazing they told me to pay one night and the rest in the morning after i went to exchange money.

Добро пожаловать в Москву, вам здесь очень рады! Я надеюсь, наша страна вам понравится и ваше путешествие будет незабываемым С любовью из Краснодара, Россия

Hey what a nice polite type of tourist you are. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your stay

Shout out from Australia . ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Russia❤❤❤❤

GPS in the center of Moscow is crazy right now. To prevent targeted drones attacks.

What a deeply engaging video and what a lovely, brightly illuminated city! I did not expect Moscow to be this beautiful. Unlike in European countries, there is no shortage of energy here, of course, which explains why the city dazzles. Thanks for uploading this video.

greetings from Spain, I have been to Russia several times, my ex wife is Russian, and as everybody can see on your videos and thousands of other similar videos, Russia has simply become a SUPERPOWER, not just militarily, but economically and socially you can see the difference with the West.. It is basically better than the West in everything, and not only Moscow... Moscow is practically another planet compared to Western cities.,...only MOnaco can compare to Moscow in the West... if I were you I would stay there forever.. and I see that you get 10 times more views on your videos in Russia than in other countries.... which is completely understandable...

You're a brave man for drawing attention to yourself by walking around recording. I was in Russia in 2018 for the FIFA world cup. I have to say Russia was on the top of the list of best countries for me.

Was there in 2019. So glad you are seeing how amazing the city is. People who have never been have no idea, how clean & safe it really is. Aside from all the financial obstacles, one of the best places to visit!

I'm Russian, lived in Europe for 10 years studding and working. Moved back in 2023 and never going to go anywhere else as an expat, probably only to Asia for winter haha.. Moscow is the best city in the world !

Очень приятно видеть что к нам едут и не бояться познакомиться нашей странной) у нас очень красиво и чисто

Just saw this video pop up on my feed, have not watched it yet (about to) but this is the one video I’ve been waiting for months if not years from you. My first day in Russia (Moscow) I was still questioning why I had decided to book a ticket to Moscow last minute other than the fact that the day before, Russia announced that South African no longer require a visa. On my way there I had thoughts of USSR , Soviet Union (basically everything I watched on tv growing up watching Hollywood movies where America is good and Russia is bad (and backwards) - ended up spending 3 months visiting Russia in the summer of 2017 and I didn’t want to leave - hope your experience is equally good. Ps: I do hope I get the chance to go back someday.

Moscow is beautiful. Thanks for posting. Thanks for breaking out of the matrix!

Обожаю смотреть первые впечатления иностранцев, приезжающих в Москву. 🥰 У нас красиво и вкусно. Приятного отдыха!

My man, you're at safest place on earth. Just relax and have good time.

I arrived in Moscow on May 7th and had the same experience as you did. I think every American gets a little extra security checks. Makes sense given the current situation. Moscow has a lot of friendly people who are willing to help.

Welcome to Russia! In Russia, many places have free Internet. For example, in the subway -) Just being on the subway, try to find free Wi-Fi and connect. The free Internet in the metro is not very good and there are advertisements (to turn off advertisements, you need to pay a subscription), but it is quite functional. secret: Many tourists don’t know this, but in Russia, you can get inside the Moscow Kremlin (behind the walls). Many tourists think that Red Square is the maximum. But in fact, if you search, you can find tickets for an excursion inside the fortress (this became possible after ~2017) Have a nice holiday!

Добро пожаловать, парень! Ты красавчик, что решил приехать и увидеть Москву своими собственными глазами) 🤗

Наш Слон!

GPS problem because of drones. Electronic warfare is always active in the city center and some areas. It will be like this until the war is over. Our taxi drivers are going crazy, navigators are lying))

Wow moscow looks nicer than any US city

Меня умиляют подобные видео. В последнее время у меня постоянно возникает чувство страха того, что нас все ненавидят и что в будущем у нас никаких хороших отношений с другими странами не возникнет. Но благодаря таким видео и комментариям под ними, я вижу, что на нас пока не все обозлились, а ещё вижу, что пропаганда в телевизоре есть не только у нас. К сожалению, из-за этой самой пропаганды у нас большая часть населения не любит другие страны, но конкретно туристам у нас всегда рады! Так что не бойтесь приезжать, главное уважайте остальных. Спасибо за такие видео и комментарии, я вас всех люблю ❤️

About communication! GPS jammers are being used in central Moscow due to recent situations with Ukrainian drones. They tried to blow up something inside the city. This is such an inconvenient security measure. In general, Russia is safe. There are cameras everywhere, people live above average for the most part and therefore there is no point in stealing anything here. Bicycles are not stolen, we have cheap electric scooters at every step here - for less than 1 dollar you can ride half of the center of Moscow. We have almost no homeless people, no organized crime. Shops are everywhere and they are open 24/7 (7 days a week!). Also, we have amazing delivery: you can order any food delivered to your apartment for very cheap and the courier will quickly bring it to you by bicycle, even at night. Russians don’t care what color of your skin or what orientation you are - if you are a good person, then you will be welcome everywhere. We don't have ghettos or "dangerous areas." And don't worry, we usually have very thick walls in our houses (to keep warm in winter), so you can talk without whispering at home.

Great adventure. What a beautiful city , clean , graffiti and homeless free . All the best brother. Moscow is a giant of a city , architecture , history , parks, beautiful ladies , cultured , no woke bullshit . Good luck .

Russia has reclaimed her status as a superpower. The president of my country, Pakistan, was removed by the US because he wanted to have non-hostile with Russia. His name was Imran Khan.

Морс, the drink you got at 17:14 is like a juice made out of boiled berries, kind of like a jam juice if you wish! The one you got is blueberry flavored, the second is cranberry, those are my favorites

Moscow looks really huge, enormous...Hi Russians from South Africa 🇿🇦✌️

I’m a Black Russian lady & I can tell that you will be safe during all your travel in Moscow & in Saint Petersburg. Enjoy exploring Russia!

The metro station looks stunning

I like how elegant you are. Trying rly hard to not wake up anybody. That’s sooo cute

Hi!) I'm from Russia, from Volgograd. Very cool when you travel in my country! I have never been to Moscow, my dream :) Russians love all people! Very nice 🥰🌟🌟🌟

Have to say that is cleaner than anything in America... Beautiful city.

Clean, safety, cheap, nice food, friendly, traditional. God bless saint Russia ❤

Каждый раз, когда гуляю по красивым местам Москвы и перестаю удивляться, всегда вспоминаю, с каким восхищением реагируют иностранцы на то, к чему мы давно привыкли :3

Оказывается, в Москве хорошо) Вот это новости!)) Когда человек ведёт себя культурно и уважительно, то он получает аналогичное отношение к себе. Всегда есть исключения, но правило именно такое. "Справедливость" для русского человека имеет большое значение Добро пожаловать в Россию!

17:10 - that's a blueberry compote and a cranberry one. Very traditional in Russia, healthy and natural, no artificial coloring. Welcome to my hometown, enjoy your stay!

❤ Rusia from Indonesia

I live in Moscow all my life, and sometimes I just walk around, using only English (just for fun, obviously). And it's actually really cool that most places like restaurants, public transport, etc. usually have English as an option, and you can easily make an order or get to any point in Moscow without using Russian at all. But if you actually talk to someone, the chances of them using English on a decent level are pretty low

No trash or graffiti. You’re NOT in America!

The US could look as beautiful and clean as Russia if they took the taxpayer money they spend on perpetual wars and handouts to other countries, to benefit the American people and infrastructure instead. The architecture in those train stations looks insane. You have to respect a country that honors its past by preserving such architectural feats. Switzerland is very similar in that regard.

Unbelievably beautiful city!

Ok, this promises to be one of the most interesting channels in my subscriptions. I want to see all your travels! It's so interesting ❤

Beautiful place. Do not hear police all around. Seems to be very calm with no bad attitudes.

التصوير جميل جداً . موسكو مدينه عصريه جداً ومن الشئ جداً ان يتم مقاطعتها من القوى الامبرياليه

Besides all the advantages, life in Russia is much easier then in the west, free medice, free schools, kindergartens, additional activities for children, sport, much more lower prices for rent, for electricity, heating, internet ( about 7$ per month), taxi, for everything. May be salaries are lower then in the west but difference in prices is TREMENDOUS!

My native streets, I walk here with my son every day. Moscow is the best city for living with a family

Я как человек работающий в одном из тех магазинов куда зашел sly скажу, что он выбрал довольно дорогие продукты, соки и нарезанные фрукты стоят примерно по 100 рублей. В данном магазине на 100 рублей можно купить килограм яблок или апельсин или груш и многое другое. Тоже самое с комнатой, я просто возмущен, что ты за такую цену получил такой маленький номер, ты мог найти намного лучше

Moscow looks clean

Hey hey, my name is John Kalyesubula, I watched your video fully , I was intrigued by the title you gave it but turns out nothing unexpected happened. I welcome you to Russia, expect nothing but the best everywhere you will go. To fully enjoy your stay , there is a Russian version to everything you enjoyed back where you came from ,embrace the language,culture and beautiful people ( not to simply mention the girls🙃) everyone else too is. It's been two years here and feels like a fantasy, I really love it. If you came with any other dreams to fulfill " это страна возможностей" Россия мне тебя очень нравится и очень люблю It's been my dream place and I am here looking to the future 🇷🇺❤🇺🇬❤

The subway station is clean unlike many in the West.

Greetings Sly, I am really enjoying these videos you are shooting . And I am envious of you in a good way. I sure wish I could have made that trip.... anyhow being I may never make it over there,, at l ast I can enjoy it vicariously thru your site. God bless and have an awesome time. Oh ,you got my first like and subscribe of the day..

I'm impressed by how clean the city is!

Moscow is so beautiful!

Went to Moscow ten years ago. It was great and I would love to go there again. The metro stations are splendid.

In the beginning that's not subway but a rapid airport train and not a subway station but a train station. Shiny building next to it is a mall. In the middle of the video that's subway all right. The beverage in the end is “mors” (a berry drink). Thank you, keep on!

Probably the most clean subway station I’ve seen. No addicts, no one’s being obnoxious, no garbage, just a peaceful experience

I visited Moscow over 20 years ago and I actually have a video from that visit on my channel. It actually looks a lot more modern now with more English signage. Russia has gone through quite a lot since the end of the Cold War. The West has not been very nice to this country and there is some big karmic payback coming soon to the West for what they've done to this country

loved that mate. Thanks for your video.

Братишка красавец капитальный, Россия крутая! Мы очень рады туристам со всего мира 😎🤘🏽
