When has the US ever blamed the USSR for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And what would be the purpose?

What school did she go to?...The Americans blamed Russia for Hiroshma/Nagasaki....i suppose the brainwashing has to start somewhere.🤣🤣

These Russian people understand the relationship with China better than I would have expected.

She never said that US blamed Russia about Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. She said "В японии выстроили такие отошения что виновата pоссия". Translation is "In Japan, they built such attitudes that Russia is to blame". I saw a video where Japanese people were asked about who bombed them and majority said Russia. The question remains - why people think that.

What is the woman at 1:20 blabbing on about? She says the US blames USSR/Russia for the atomic bombs dropped in Japan? As an American, I've never heard this. And said US-Russian relations have never been positive except WW2 but the 1990's things were relatively positive. There was hope that Russia would turn into a normal country but the brutal way Russia fought in Chechnya gave the west and US less hope in Russia. It was under Putin the relations soured.

"Well, by judging what the astrologers predict, we will be prosperous by 2032" 😅😅😅

as a Chinese, the history with Russia is super complicated. China has lost most of her territory to Russia/USSR directly or indirectly. However China had also received a lot of assistance from USSR in the 50s. Today, it was the US led Western world that pushed Russia and China closer. Maybe it's not an alliance but it's definitely a partnership that benefits both sides

Very good. This is among the best of your videos, Daniil. Congratulations to you and Artyom!! Sheer luck, really, as you bumped into a large number of articulate and well-informed people to interview. Thanks!

I’m sorry wait, the US said the Soviet Union was to blame for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Wait what?

According to Valentina 2:46, when the US comes to the aid of a people under attack by tyrants, it's "starting a war." Ok then: In that case, when the US began aiding the USSR in the 1940s, it "started" World War II. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 And she's supposed to be an educated person! (Retired economist.)

Throughout 3000 years of history, China fought foreign invaders alone, never had allies. We did get help from the U.S. against Japan during WWII. But we won't forget after 1937 when Japan invaded China, U.S. merchants continued to sell oil and steel to Japan to help them kill Chinese. We also won't forget those "allies" who helped build Japan into an empire the first place.

''You can expect anything from even your closest ones these days!'' Yeah, Georgians, Ukrainians and Chechens know a thing or two about that.

"how can they attack us?" Some people are detached from reality to assume that they can wage war, and not be hit back by those same people. They don't have their own feet attached to the ground.

Interesting topic! You give us ideas to use for our own channel! We will keep watching your videos! Much love from America! ❤

Russian:”USA is our ally.” 😂 Do these people understand what is happening?

"No severe censorship" Are you joking? You can go to prison for 8 years or more. That isn't censorship?

"Judging by what astrologers predict..." Say no more.

I loved the sentence from the wise lady at the end, that must be the policy of any sovereign country

I would rather the question being asked is of “good partners” rather than “allies”. Ally typically means you are all in on most if not all geopol-topics and must come to aid without regards for self interests, or the interests are mostly aligned. You can enjoy very close relationships and help each other economically, militarily internationally, but you should not lose your own national identities. China is a explicitly stated Non-Ally country. So I don’t think they are the ally that you are looking for. Nor should you expect allies in that strict “Ally”definition nowadays. US could be partners but they would prefer to keep larger countries subjugated unless you are small and could never pose any threats or challenges to their hegemony, or they will fuck you over like they are doing with Russia and China today. After all, “自力更生 (work hard yourselves)but with lots of good friends”should every countries motto.

Umbrella holding boyfriend appears to be rethinking his relationship. Maybe get a dog next time. 😂

As a Chinese I think Russia and China are not allies but we need each other’s support in many situations. China and Russia have maintained very positive relationship, economically and politically, for a long time with mutual respect. Sometimes I think this relationship is even better and more stable and sustainable than allies. No allies can last forever but a good neighbor is possible. Btw, I have seen so many colleagues from Russia and I work as a software engineer. I have met so many talented Russian engineers with superb math and coding skills. I ❤ them

Man some of these outros that i've seen lately on these videos have been pure art in context. Excellent work

1:36 I think Sofa didn't listen to the teacher during the history lessons 😂 Mind boggling stuff . . .

To the last person: I don't think you can produce everything yourselves in Russia. I know what I'm talking about, I've owned a Lada.

Rumor has it that Sofa is still talking.

In California, I have met Americans of Russian decent. Personally, I enjoy interacting with People from other countries. Being an immigrant to the US myself I enjoy the ‘melting pot’ concept. Although we are far from perfect, everyone brings positive and yes sometimes negatives to the table.

wtf with the guys that think US is their closest ally? Which kind of info make them choose such a wrong answer? 🤣🤦‍♂

9:17 did he just say there are no severe censorship in Russia ?! Allllrighty then.

I don't ever remember being taught Russia was to blame for bombing Japan. This is the first I've heard of it.

oh dude, your camera quality upgraded significantly since I last watched. NICE

They forgot the American Civil War. The Russian Pacific fleet wintered in San Francisco and the Russians provided the Union with updates on European artillery updates.

I'm sure Russia will have a much better relationship with China once they annex them 😅

I love how they talk about the west wearing their western branded clothes

There's a perspective that the US wanted to limit the USSR's involvement in the Pacific after the fall of Germany. Some US commanders cited that as the main reason they dropped the bombs, to try to force a peace deal quickly before the USSR could liberate china and korea.

У государства не может быть союзников, могут быть общие интересы (временно) и это всегда нужно держать в уме.

My dad had a saying that when people are hell bent on destroying their lives it’s best to let them “live their paycheck”. If you try to rescue these people from their personal choices or try change their world views before they experience the natural consequences of those choices and beliefs, it’s not going to work. They will resent you for trying to help, make you responsible for for their lot in life and then embrace those who are trying to exploit them. If people in a culture value the mirage of strength and stability of authoritarianism, you can’t rescue them from the natural consequences of that belief. You can only wish them well and leave them to decide when they’ve finally had enough of the corruption and oppression that authoritarianism brings. Whether we help them or not, Ukraine has spent the last 13 months demonstrating that they will lay down their lives to fight for their sovereignty, freedom and self governance. It couldn’t be more clear that helping Ukraine, by giving them a leg up in this fight, is resources well spent because Ukraine is ready to change. Sadly Russia is probably best left to it’s own devices. Prematurely rescuing them again, like we did in the 90’s, will only perpetuate the problem for both them and for the rest of the world. If they believe that they can go it alone in the world or that they want to trust and partner with China, we should just let them.

9:15 "Here [In Russia] there is no severe censorship." They are completely detached from reality.

Russia never treated China as an equal partner, I don't know why would China do the same...

does anyone know what the girl at the end said in chinese ?

Lol asking the girl with a Chinese boyfriend to choose.

1:11 Вообще-то, Россия и США были в хороших отношениях с момента обретения последними независимости вплоть до падения Российской Империи. Так что, за исключением периода Холодной Войны, Россия и США - это, как ни странно, исторические друзья.

I just want to say that I love this glimpse into the Russian mind. Equally fascinating for Russians would be filming people from other countries reacting to their statements. Likely a pipe dream, probably wouldn't see a screen anywhere😢.

Good to see a diverse spectrum of answers, but I am indeed surprised by the percentage of people expressing favorable views toward EU & US even at this historical moment, with ongoing war happening. Not sure how many Americans will express their favorable views toward USSR back in Vietnam. Many Chinese do not really have much clue on historical events on Russia-China relationship, and sadly it seems the Russian side wasn't much better on that neither. Both side were only educated on events where they got screwed by the other side, but clueless on events where they screwed the other side. Victims of propaganda barking at each other all the time. Both playing victims but in reality both deserve each other, I guess

главное оружие в России это не ядерное а невероятное количество дураков которых можно посылать в атаку почти все население

If I was the Asian guy with the umbrella I’d find someone else to share it with.

I'm yet to hear what legitimate harm did the West do to Russia? What and when exactly was done to Russia by the West? All I hear is bitterness that Russia is not treated as an equal partner by USA and EU combined, which is farcical when Russia has an economy the size of Spain. But no specific explanation is ever given, what did the West do to Russia to deserve hate?

I'm not very proficient in English, so there might be mistakes in my writing. Most likely, she saw the news in one of the Telegram channels where Ursula von der Leyen's quote was discussed. In that quote, Ursula von der Leyen constructed her sentence strangely, which could be misinterpreted. She said, "we must analyze the past and draw conclusions looking to the future (her opinion on the start of the G7 summit), especially at a time when Russia threatens to use nuclear weapons again." I omitted a part of the text that seemed less important for this matter. I also want to clarify that I did not see the full speech of Ursula von der Leyen, so I am not sure if before or after this phrase she did not specify exactly what she meant. I don't think it's worth judging this girl only by this statement, as, overall, everything else she said can be seen as a reasonable position/opinion. I assume she thought that if the head of the European Commission says something like this at the G7 summit, it means they decided to shift the blame to Russia, which in itself sounds unreasonable. Sometimes people make mistakes, and it's strange that the focus is only on this, ignoring the rest of the position. There is no propaganda in this matter, just a hasty conclusion from just one indirect quote. Video I found: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsdykqhird_IiZ8.html

there is an old saying in some parts of the world that goes: it is better to have friends than money

Russia is now a vassal state to China, the junior partner in their new relationship, a source of raw materials for their industries. 14 months ago Russia was the leader of Central Asia, now the undisputed leader of that region is China. Russia is starting to resemble N. Korea more and more every day.

Парень и девушка олицетворяют Китай и Россию 😂

At the age 52,I thought i had seen it all when it came to crazy ass beliefs based on amateur propaganda. But this comment section has blown me away. If someone commented that it was pitch black at 12 noon, in the tropics with no eclipse event i would sooner believe that than most of fictional drivel i have winessed in these comments.

I don’t know the channel and I don’t know how much cherry picking went on in the process of making this video. What I find impressive is how much these young people seems to care and to be informed about what’s going on. You can’t find that level of interest in Italy, where I live, even in older generations (of course they are much more involved in geopolitical events than we are, but still…) Also, quite brave for them to discuss politics so openly, I truly hope they will not incur in any problem because of it!

7:04 The retired Russian economist relies on astrologers. I am going to have to let that sink in.

Watching this made me think of how the sentence "When one run out of arguments one resort to violence" also holds true to countries & geopolitics. Interesting topics & opinions as always Daniil.

Quick question to the makers of 1420. Do you know if the Astrolog referred to by the lady predicting everything will be prosperous 2032 was named ”Putin” 🧐? And thanks to ”1420” for great movies!😃

The number of intelligent thoughtful answers here surprised me.

If we’re talking about hiroshima and nagasaki can we please also talk about the massacre of katyn and the invasion of poland by russia? Or how the soviets were friends with the nazis and helped them defeating france in 1940? Remember the hitler-stalin pact!

4:19 I didn't think anybody in Russia remembered this.

So interesting to see how different the civilians and govt leaders are. To be honest, I dont think the 'ally' is something a civilian can think of. We choose our friends

The last Russian girl who speaks Chinese, she was saying she is majoring Asian economy and politics in university. That’s why she knows things. These are the kind of people that will become a diplomat someday.

"We've always had a fairly positive relationship with China, except for the conflict on Damansky Island" I guess she didn't learn that island is part of Outer Manchuria, which the Russians forcefully took from China in the 19th century. That's over one million square km worth of land, now giving Russia access to the Sea of Japan. I'm sure China would love to take that back. Russia is the only European country that still holds historically Chinese territories.

7:47 Valentina, 70: "What right do they have!?" Great question! :) They don't have right shelling, but do russians HAVE right shelling Ukrainian cities? Russian logic - we DO have right to do bad things to the whole world, but the whole world DON'T have right to do bad things to us!

Что за станция метро в самом начале, не могу понять?

Older people do seem more knowledgable on history of the relationships.

The level of general knowledge, world politics and history among ordinary russians is frightening

It's insane how throughout history russia has had countless oppurtunities to make itself one of the most prosperous and powerful nations on earth, at times even coming so close, but has squandered it every single time through authoritarianism, war and corruption.. to what end. The cycle simply repeats and probably will for as long as russia exists as a country.

Mind-boggling that a Russian would consider USA and Europe allies

The question is what is the natural course of events for the future. This very difficult to discern. Howevre, look into the heart of the people of Russia for their ambitions and dreams. This video is insightful.

The Asian man and Russian girl perfect symbol for SINO-RUSSO alliance

That woman who thinks the island conflict was the only between China and Russia in history clearly doesn’t know how Russia came to have Vladivostok.

Is the round building a metro station?

Omg the difference of insights between the young and the older generations is so vast! Some young people have absolutely no idea about the world! Respect for the elders they know!

What's wrong with all those babushka's they are all war crazy

Thank you very much for your videos, the questions are always respectful, interesting, smartly focused on one subject and the answers offer a large variety of what the Russian people could think. I really appreciate getting to know the closest-to-real point of vue of your people!

Irán and Nort Korea may be their only allies. Congratulations!😂😮😂

First person told right thing believe in ourselves only you can do everything for yourselves and your country in geo politics no one is permanent enemy or friends everything is temporary everything is for some decades soo stay with your country stay with your people and believe in your country People and stay together for your country and society and work for your country love from India ❤️🇮🇳❤️🇷🇺

People seem so terribly naive. They asses everything like a personal relationship. Or like on a monopoly board.

People talk about propaganda in Russia, as if they're not affected by propaganda in their countries. Grow up kids.

у России три союзника: армия, флот и ПВО Украины😁

There can't be alliances anong 3 super powers cuz each of them have thier own goal and ambitions.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly…. My mind is blown! 🤯 Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

1:14 ???? i double checked the time and the year, does she live in a parallel universe?

the neutrality in your way to ask and listen gives people the freedom to speak without feeling any judgment. it's a rare quality. I admire it a lot.

Meanwhile on Planet Earth a Russian citizen can’t say нет войне without risking fine or imprisonment

Next question should be Should we stop buying western products? Apple,Nike, Gucci etc

You should also add their address.. so it will be complete interview

You shoud ask people who understands something about It, not just brainwashed kids and couple grandmas

The notion that "Western children are choosing and changing their gender" is super common in Russia. I wonder why they care so much about less than 1% of a population that is not even theirs to worry about anyway. I'd be more concerned about alcohol consumption within their own population.

That girl with the guy under umbrella... Alternate reality.. what is she smoking? It's Russia who is constantly attacking neighbors so US doesn't support that andshe thinks US blames Russia for atom bomb on Hiroshima? Nothing she says makes sense

Prior to watching the contents of this video, I always thought that the average citizens of Russia are much more intelligent and knowledgeable and "capable to think critically" than the average citizens of the US. Now, I am not so sure, if not utterly disappointed.

Where the hell you find these people saying USA is better ally to Russia then China? In what parallel universe do they live in?

Leon is 17 years old and already he has a greater understanding of geopolitics than most Russians. Gives me hope for a different Russia in the future that can work with other countries. It's interesting to see how many people are aware of how China cannot be trusted as an ally. Another student also pointed out China has never really had Russia's back when the US helped them in the 90s. Even I didn't know that!

In geopolitics there is no friends. Only temporary acquaintances.

that is another stupid question, firstly the alliances are never eternal and secondly is not only "China" if you consider BRICS

Very interesting 😊😊.

Daniil, do you think youtube will be blocked in RU, and will you be able to link out of the country to continue what you do? (What you do IS VERY IMPORTANT by the way....) Thanks!

The Chinese are printing new maps and the name of Vladivostok has been replaced with the historical Chinese name.

The definition of ally is different for China. Being quiet doesn't mean China is not an ally.

You managed to find the most clueless people, that's gotta be an accomplishment of some kind

Where do these people get their crazy information from? The young lady talking about the bombs for example! It's mind boggling, honestly.🤔 Is there really any hope for these people? Glory and Victory to Ukraine! 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
