We couldn't buy everything from some pensioners because we spent all the money we took with us), I hope we were able to make a kind and positive video and a bit sad.

I’m a retired physician in USA. Your video made me laugh and then cry! These older folks make it by on next to nothing. I loved the way you helped them. I made a donation today and plan to become a regular supporter. I sent this and another video of yours to 6 other people. Thanks!!

Hi Sergei, I'm a pensioner in the US. I want you to know you are such an amazing young man and the world needs everyone to be like you. ❤️

I am a pensioner, get 10 times the money and still appreciate help when I get it. Thank you. People forget how hard life has been for those who lived when it was USSR. These women remember.

It is hard to imagine that they are so excited about about selling around 1000 rubel worth, from my understanding around 10e worth. I mean of course cost of living is lower there, but it's most certainly difficult to get my head around it. And for selling that, these people don't want to miscalculate one tiny bit and accidentally rip him off, what honest people. It really warmed my heart to see them so excited and happy. Great job!

You filled their pockets with money, their hearts with happiness, and gave them such joy and pride in their hard work. Your generosity and respect will give again to their families and the children and spread out to who knows where! You are a very good man and show us that there is much to do. ❤️

Love that you’re helping older women who would have probably taken several days to sell all that product. You alleviated that from them and allowed them to spend some time away from the cold and with their families.

It's heartwarming to see you helping these elderly women. With all the negative going on right now we need to see some love in the world.

We need more people like you in this world.

I loved watching how excited the older women got when you bought them out. They are going to be telling stories about that for years to come.

So sad to know that the pension of elderly is not enough for their needs while the oligarch and the entire politicians are getting richer.....life is so unfair!

You're a beautiful soul vasya. Always hurts my heart when i see elderly and children in this situation. My birthland mexico is in the same situation, the government is rich and the common people are very poor.

It is so sad how pensioners are struggling all over the world. They struggle themselves and they are still working hard to help the younger generations. That was so sweet of of you. Those ladies probably think that an Angel visited them. I wish you have told them what you are doing. It would make them feel even better to know that their wonderful goodies are going to some needy children in the orphanage. When I visited Trinidad and Tobago I saw a lot of poverty. I saw stands with fresh coconut water. I felt bad when I visited the first one, I saw the other men (from other coconut stands looking at me), so I visited all of them and paid them five times more than they were asking. I have such a good life, great job...it's least I can do. I understand your desire to help people. That is why I enjoy your channel so much. You are not only helping, but inspiring people to do the same.

I really enjoyed watching this one -I can see why there was a big run on sugar in the stores as you need sugar to do preserves and this is a big income supplement to them. I grew up in Saskatchewan and we had alot of Ukranian, Russian and Polish people that had emigrated there and many of the old people that had known famine and hard times would have the whole yard in garden -even the front yard where everyone else had a lawn would be in potatoes.

The elderly have such knowledge and skill. I wish that villages could offer facilities and land that would allow the elderly that have skills to be able to share their knowledge with young people. The elderly perhaps could help each other if they organize and communicate. If they organize perhaps doctors, nurses and other Professionals could spare some of their valuable time time to help the poor elderly. Even ordinary people could volunteer a few hours of work toward Community Service. This man needs volunteers in every community to help him address the humanitarian activities that he is bringing to our attention.

Rips my heart out these people have worked their whole lives. They should be able to live with dignity and peace. Thank you Sergei

There’s a lot of anti Russian rhetoric at the moment where I am. Having lived in Russia myself from 2014-2017 there are many many wonderful people and you’re one of them and showing us others. This is the Russia I know and love. The vegetables grown by these elderly Russians are so tasty, I specifically remember the tomatoes! Grown in a village garden and sold just like this on the street by an old lady. like nothing you’d get in a supermarket, such colour and taste!

You always have me in tears...good tears. I'm always amazed at how the women have a hard time receiving; whether it's money or food. Also, they almost always can't believe there isn't a catch somehow. I'm glad you are showing them that there are good and generous people in the world. All of the people you help will be telling these stories for many years and possibly these stories will be passed down through generations. They will tell of an angel who came into their lives and blessed them. I'm hoping your good example will prompt many other people, including myself, to be more generous. Thank you and I'm sending many blessings your way and to your family.

These older people are all really nice and warm-hearted. Good people.

I just can’t stop smiling watching this and seeing all the elders getting so excited and overjoyed

It nice that you can help the elderly out. Here in the US we have our churches that we set up with a food bank for the needy to shop for free. Also, our electric and gas companies have needy lists that each person can contribute to if they want to.

“Your wife doesn’t cook?” 😅 Beyond amazing video! Thank you! Cheers from a Serbian guy living in Russia!

Those ladies and gentlemen are truely an inspiration in that they are out doing things to help their families. And that was awesome how you bought as much as you were able to. I'm sure the kids in the children's home will enjoy their homemade treats.

You made a huge change in these women, at the end of the video , first there was mistrust, then gratitude, then happiness, for having encountered someone like you! Am sure they will tell the story of the man who who bought everything from their stand ,and ,how they got home early on that cold spring day Great video 🙏🌟💖🙃

it's obscene in this world, we have those few people who hoard wealth while everyone else struggles. I think of the resources countries spend on killing when there is so much need for living and it makes me sad and angry.

Sergei, thank you for opening up your world to us. I wish there were more people like you. In one day, you have not only fed many families but have brought them some comfort and hope as well. Sending you, and all those who cross your path, many blessngs from the USA.

Your channel is such a fabulous eye opener to regular Russian people. If more people treated each other as you do, this world would be a much happier one. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

Well done Sergei God Bless 🙌

this is so lovely and insightful...my heart breaks for the Russian and Ukrainian people.

I weep when I see these wonderful people, who've worked so hard but have so little. Bless you for buying from them and giving the food to the children in need.

This brought tears to my eyes as she was so happy and surprised at the same time. Despite their age they are still trying to earn a supplemental income. God bless you for your kindness to the elderly.

I always felt, if each person on this earth, that is not in financial despair, would help at least one or two people that need help, we would not have anybody suffering from the basic life needs. Vasya in the Hay has found a way to help more than a few people. God bless you.

In the US it's called social security, we all pay into it and you can start collecting about age 62 depending on circumstances. Ppl who take it early get less than $700 month. Rent costs more than that. It's sad to see that your elderly aren't any better off 😔

You are doing great things, you are an inspiration! 🙏🙏🙏

Я очень благодарна, потому что вы помогли стольким пожилым людям, все должны сделать то же самое, отличный жест, потому что каждый взрослый человек должен отдыхать дома, а не творить несправедливость.

Sergie you and your friends are beautiful souls. I like the way you help so many people of all diversity. Keep up the good work. All the best from Scotland

Imagine if the billionaires stopped ripping off Russia and the people got a fair deal 😭😭😭

Thanks for the great videos! Elderly People of Russia are very nice. I wish they weren’t isolated from the rest of the World. There is no reason we all can’t get along. The fear that the West wants to invade Russia is absurd but they will never know the truth

Yes, we need peace in the world. Thank you for what you're doing.

Sergei, I can't thank you enough. Not only are helping those in need, you're educating the world, and giving us joy. Your generosity is a beautiful thing, and I know it comes from your heart because you keep turning down my attempts to donate to you! 😆 It's wonderful see the delight on these grandmother's faces as they realise your intent. And so many others will benefit from all you bought too! You're an amazing human. Stay well, friend!

It is so kind of you to help! So many Americans would like to help these older folks if only we had a way we could buy their vegetables. Keep up the good work!

This is so sad they deserve more

😀I am impressed;thank you for buying grannies ,it touches me when they say they can go home early .wathing from JAMAICA.🇯🇲

Sergei, your channel is like a breath of fresh air that we all need We are all brothers and sisters , we are one people on earth , Cleveland Ohio USA 🇺🇸

It’s so nice to see the love of one to another. His concern of these elderly people needing to work out in the cold is commendable. Maybe they can take off a day or two.

Sergei , you are a Angel on Earth. These beautiful ladies are so Precious💕Everything looks so delicious. I’m sure you made there day and there Grandchildren will hear this story , sure brought tears to my eyes. I want Peace to 💕🙏

You are doing wonderful things for the people. God Bless.

Great to see the love you are spreading in these days of hatred. Keep on going strong, Vasya!

Thank you! You and your crew are wonderful!

What you do to help people is amazing 😻 my grandparents owned 10 acres 5 acres for cows the other 5 for huge garden 🪴 and they had a building by there road and people would stop and buy vegetables 🥕 I have so many great memories with my grandparents ❤️ retired people of Russia that get a pension IS A JOKE NO ONE CAN LIVE OFF OF A PENSION LIKE THAT so all the money goes to Putin and his people and the people of Russia are POOR

This warms my heart. Thank you for this hope for goodness in Russia. - from The United States.

Babuskas are the sweetest ppl in the world. I love them i wish they all where my grannys

Спасибо Сережа. Вы спасаете жизни в своей стране.

It was touching to see how happy and surprised they were! I bet they are still talking about that day! ❤️

Everything looked delicious as well! You may have been helping them, but you got a good deal too from the looks of it.

They are all shock but satisfied. Loved it! Great job helping out

Vasya my respect for making these video's and showing kindness in a turbulent world. Keep continue sharing the stories of ordinary people. Wish you all the best. 👍

I do not know Russian culture but it seems grandmothers and women in general are very important in structure, less so than the men.

Just goes to show that a little kindness helps the world turn around. No better feeling than knowing you have made somebody happy.

Love that wonderful lady at 10:42 she is so lovely n has a sense of humor. Thank you for your good deeds n generosity in helping all these babuskas selling their homemade healthy products. I would buy all that honey if l see them selling. Will hope to visit Russia soon.❤🇷🇺☦️

Thank you for sharing. You truly are heaven sent. I hope the Good Lord blesses you in every aspect of your life. What you’re doing is absolutely wonderful. I know these folks are truly happy you showed up to their roadside stands. Bless you and your family. ❤️✝️

Спасибо за ваши видео Сергей! Каждый человек имеет право жить и быть счастливым! Извините за мой плохой русский :)

🙉😱 WOW! That was BEAUTIFUL to watch. What beautiful souls ... including YOURS ... God bless YOU ALL! 🙏👍👌🥰😍💞

Hello from California, U.S. You have such a kind spirit. Your videos warm my heart 💕

Guys like you let me hope for Russia, thank you!

the world is full of nice, gentle, hard working people. thanks for showing your gratitude to these lovely people.

My mouth is watering at the thought of all of that homemade goodness. Thank you for helping these people out Sergei.

This touched my heart..thank you..i am from an orphanage so this video made me cry.

Sergei you're doing a excellent job showing real life in Russia . The main thing I've learned from your videos is that Russians and Americans are not that different . For the most part both just want to be able to provide for the ones they love, have some sort of happiness , and peace . It's a shame governments cause so much conflict and chaos between people who otherwise would probably be friends .

Gosh that made me teary. How beautiful

You are such a kindhearted man. The world needs more people like you. Sending my love to you and the beautiful people of Russia. From Diana, USA.

I am an American soldier from fort drum,,I live now by fort Bragg, you sir are an inspiration to all. Bless you, I will keep in touch

this was awesome! If only there were more people like you! thanks for making my day!

You made my heart feel good today. Lovely thing you did to help those women that should be retired and yet go outside in the cold and grind it out everyday. God bless you!

Sergie, I am in awe of your generosity. The grannies found you adorable, and so do I, for your kind deeds

Wow and wow again to these lovely hard working older folks. Delightful exchanges. I am sure you made their day, week, month, year and then some...all from their gardens. Delightful and positive in these gloomy days. Thanks so much for your efforts. From Canada. Bravo.

The Russian government needs to take better care of the children & the elderly. The pension given to the elderly is the equivalent of about $95 usd a month. Despicable! These people work all their lives which produces revenue for their corrupt politicians to steal and add to their personal wealth. Here in the US the least a person gets is about $850 (SSI) but there is also a ton of other help for them. Snap benefits for food, government housing which is usually really decent, help with utilities, food banks if their snap benefits aren't enough. For those with Medicare they're even provided with in home help so they don't have to go into nursing homes. Senior centers also offer a daily hot meal for very little or nothing. Even delivered if they're homebound.

I absolutely adore every video that you do. You made so many beautiful people smile that day. Thank you for everything that you and everyone does. You are truly amazing x

I was going home on school bus one day I noticed elderly couple cutting wood for the winter, we did too, that's why I noticed. The following year I noticed the woman cutting the wood herself. I seen her working so hard, that Friday when my bus was passing her house, I got off. I went down and asked if I could help her, she said no but we started talking and she realized I could help not be in the way, I was only 14. That day we made the plans for that weekend to get her wood in for the winter. Please realize there was no chainsaws, just a couple bucks saws and 2 people working hard. We finished 3 cords of wood she needed, cut, split and packed in barn. She wanted to pay me, but I couldn't take her money, I knew my grandmother had little so I assumed she didnt. She agreed to give me some antiques I was curious about. I helped her every fall for the next 3 years til I left home for work. She never offered me anymore money, but loved talking about and teaching me about her antiques, she gave me some for all the work. I still have a few small pieces. I am now 40 years older, I am a part time antique dealer, and my house is full of antiques. All because I offered to help someone with their winters wood. Take care of each other. Peace.

In my country most people consider me to be a poor pensioner. More than 40 years ago I have been for my work travelling to Africa and India there I have seen real poverty so I know how rich I am compared to millions of people all over the world.

I truly love your videos. Your an example of the great people your country has to offer.

God bless you!

This was lovely, Sergei! I recall pensioners in Moscow in the mid-90’s selling home grown herbs and such on the street after the value of the ruble plummeted. I gladly bought all that I could from babushkas instead of from shops. With their help, I proudly mastered functional “shopping Russian” with a decent accent within a few months of arrival, which was less embarrassing than asking sellers to write prices on paper! ✏️ 📝 🤭 I recall that I “ate my weight” in homemade cucumber pickles, dark rye bread and cold salads with delicious Russian mayonnaise over the course of a year-plus. But, I mostly remember all of the kind people who made or sold them.

The reaction of these women is priceless. It is good to see them happy and laughing because you bought all their products. And am sure what they are selling are delicious because they made it themselves.

So nice of you to help them out. Specially on a cold weather.

I loved the grannies! The children will be happy to have these goodies! Love from Canada!

Your family will be dining in style for sometime to come Sergei. Those lovely old grannies were overwhelmed with your kindness ❤️

What blessings you have given these people!♥️ You made me cry! Happiness & health to you Sergei! -Carolyn North Carolina 🇺🇸

You do God's work! Those women will talk about you forever.

Sergei your video just melted my heart. Bless you for what you are doing. Your video put tears in my eyes, it made me emotional to see this. Greetings from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 - Nora

That was lovely to watch so many elderly people are badly treated in many countries now it’s a pleasure to see this act of kindness

New subscribe here. Your kindness in helping people in need reminds me of BI Pakhati from South Africa who's also helping people. More power to your channel! ❤

Great work! ❤

It's my pleasure watching your videos.

Thank you for your kindness to the elderlies!

Sergei your videos break my heart. Watching these dear elderly people struggle is so sad. And they are such proud people. And so generous with the little they have.

Another great video Sergei! You did say you would be taking everything to the orphanage? How are they doing? Is Alex liking his new job? Please continue your awesome work!

I love your videos. I think one of tha babushkas wanted to set you up with a daughter or granddaughter if you weren't married. I'm curious as to how you can afford to do such good things during difficult economic times?

I am amazed at how honest the people are in Russia it seems like here in the USA that the elderly are special wherever you are. Thanks for showing us how special they are.

These old ladies are so sweet , hard working people …. Thank you for helping them ….
