Seems like more and more people are declining to take part in interviews. The fear is real when a woman was arrested for having a blank banner.

Stay safe out there making these videos Brave souls.....from ~Canada....

thanks for sharing this, peace

That’s all they can say or they’ll go to jail for 15 years modern-day slave country…

As always it is the 95 people who declined being interviewed that 'speak' most eloquently.

Well hes still free and this channel has been going on about those topics ever since "special operation started" had putler cared about ot he would be long confined.Putin has bigger fish to fry in sense of info

He is asking the questions in neutral way. I think the people actually answering not in line with the official "truth" are the ones risking here.

What is risky? The guy probably is part of the Putin youth club. Get a reality check people and stop being so naive about Russians. Playing the victim card is what they always do. Feeling sorry for them got us precisely to this point in history. We are all being dragged into the 💩 they created!!!

I hope they will not cut them from the global internet because it could take away the only freedom they have. And it can be seen as a double-edged sword. I hope war will stop

That's propaganda too, fyi

@@johnorona99 yes and no... if the information is true and not biased it's important to get that info out there no matter who it serves.

@@johnorona99 Those are real Russian soldiers that surrendered most of them really and truly thought they'd be fighting Americans or Nazis.

@@Lioness_UTV Its somewhat propaganda yeah, cause the author doesn't explain the difference. There is nothing wrong with freedom tbh. You can say anything about military, government or any other subject on public. You can express your opinion free enough. The law is working on different levels, and ppl just do not understand the true mechanics of it. Well yeah, ppl in russia acutally do not know their laws, cause dont give a f*ck. And its really true. It depends on your position if you work on social media. Personally i do not see anything awful in that law (Except 15 years of prison). The information itself must be objective and trustworthy. Its a job of any social media to inform the citizens what is going on in the world. The amount of the dirty information these days is so insane, so it could rly affect ppl (especially children). And for your information Russia do not have KZfaq blocked, CNN and BBC is still available for anyone in the country. Not many russians knows english thats for sure, and there is no russian CNN and BBC. But on the other hand EU and USA rly blocked all the pro-russian TV and we all see only 1 sided view of the matter. And EU/USA opinion is absolute. It is a fact that fake news (or propaganda) comes from the both sides and we will never know the truth without proper investigation. But hey, when a russian guys pops up in the chat and tries to express his evidence and thoughts - he got trolled and banned just in instant. Same for Twitter and Facebook removing russian-based posts. And actually i think that the Russian government made right decision to block Instagram and Facebook, cause Meta plays dirty games, and the biggest auditory are children and teens Soz for my bad English boiz.

@@Lioness_UTV interviews with surrendering Russian soldiers is TRUE, but interviews with surrendering Ukrainian soldiers is LIE. I understand correctly?

Anybody knows any other such channel that interviews Russian people about current events/ reveals the mentality of Russian people regarding what is happening?

thats communism

@@tomeryud literally nothing about russia is communist...

@@alkoyyy huh?

@@tomeryud The basic idea of communism is that stuff like natural resources and factories should belong to the people (to *all* people) in order to free them from the the oppression and the chains that come from poverty and financial inequality. That's obviously not what's happening in Russia, since pretty much everything that could make people money is owned by a few oligarchs and the financial inequality is worse than pretty much anywhere else. And the Russian government is just an oppressive, authoritarian piece of garbage. Which is kind of the exact opposite of the communist ideal of freeing people from their oppression. Russia (much like china) is just a capitalistic economy combined with an authoritarian government. But apparently a lot of western media decided to pretend that anything that has garbage leadership and uses a bunch of red color is communist...

@@alkoyyy China isnt capitalist. China adopted capitalism only in a few places in a very limited manner. They removed most billionaires, and the government controls most companies. Capitalism is all about free market, and that dosent happen in China and Russia. Just look at Putin announcement, the government can steal pattents of western companies. Also in Russia the government and a few billionaires control pretty much everything. Does that sound like a free market to you?

Yes, and delete the original footage.

They're NOT being told the West hates them, not by the West at least. And they know this because before they became extra super horrible they still had full access to us, including internet privileges. And don't you feel sorry for them, don't you dare. They're the CAUSE of this, 100%. Until they have been denied food, shelter, power, and their LIVES, don't you feel sorry for them.

@@wekurtz72 sir, I'm happy you found someone to blame.

@@wekurtz72 why are you so angry? They are just normal people. Your words look like a proof of hate towards them. The west announced sanctions for elite in Russia but most of the sanctions are about normal people. There are even ridiculous sanctions such at expulsion from a beautiful tree competition, cats and dogs. Facebook even wanted to allow hate speech towards Russians until Russia said that they will block Instagram and Facebook. How is that not hate? People in Germany and Lithuania are denied medical appointments because they are Russians.

@@tatianadaina1181 Yes, we're still blaming the ACTUAL murderers right? Not victim shaming the people living in the rubble from illegal russian thermobaric bombs? So yes, the evidence points to russia for the blame.

@@vasilisaagapova2874 Either putin is russia, or RUSSIANS are russia. As a Ukrainian, I have problems seeing the destinction because either way my brothers and sisters are being invaded and murdered by those adorned in russian flags. That's a tiny fraction of why I'm angry. I'm also angry that after nearly 80 years of anti-western aggression and imperialist expansion into sovereign nations that nothing has changed there. If they hand't collpased under the weight of their enormous military, there would still be an iron curtain or worse. And what have the russian people done EVER except toe the party line? It's almost as if they need a revolution, but what would russians know about that? Sanctions are NOTHING. I want them to see what bombs look like, as we've had to.

@@mrexpress8002 Do you read her blog?

Take care Karaseva.

Thank you. People like you help me to stay sane. Here from every corner I hear that West hates us deeply, and tbh I had this sentiment that everyone hates us, hates me just because Im Russian. And when you start to think like this you become angry easily. And it's also easier to fall for propaganda when you have this vibe. What matters if everybody hates us after all? But seeing people who say words of support, I kinda shake of these propaganda statements. I wish everybody will wake up. I believe love can safe the world.

I believe it's all about the massive gas resources in Russia and someone has their eye on it for quite some time...

It's illegal to question the official narrative of the Holocaust in some countries, do you also disagree with such law for violating free speech?

@@tatianadaina1181 I think its more pity than hate (except towards Putin and his cronies). There are many tales of Ukrainians trying to convince relatives in Russia that they really are being shelled!

We don't hate you, rational people understand that this is Putin's war, not a Russian war. There are of course horrible people who use Ukrainian victims in order to excuse their hatred for Russians but they don't really matter. And the fact that Putin is restricting you from talking about military and war proves what we already know, that Russian people do not support the Ukrainian invasion. We all want peace, hang in there and stay safe! I hope Putin stops killing innocent people, children and animals as soon as possible..

What about blocking media in your country?

@@yastyman In my country I can talk to anyone about anything at anytime unrestricted. I have world wide social media, I can speak in public, I can post and share without any threats from anyone. Try it you'd like it.

The decision to seek peace through violence is driven by emotion. The decision to seek peace through relentless diplomacy is driven by logic: My safety is your safety. The unfortunate truth is the one man who started this war is supported by the silence of several million of his constituents. These thoughts bring me to a song by Chris Cornell: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aN6ootF8uLeRYYE.html "So come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today. I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake."

People from all countries are normal peaceful people. People from all countries that experience war are subjected to such violence by those in power. It’s never different.

how supid and naiv...one man decides everything....there is a thing called history, a thing called past and a thing called geopolitics. us' geopolitical strategy is to destabilize regions to install their government and ensure weapon flow which is crucial to their economy as well as getting ressources. It's all geopolitics. We are now in WWIII if nobody noticed. after the cold war us hegemony was unquestioned for a long time and the could start taking over eastern europe with money and the middle east and africa by force. Their is only russia the fallen empire and china the rising empire in the way of world domination. and from 91 the end of the cold war to 22 for 31 years there was this still unnamed era which has ended now. the US in 2014 took ukraine and russia now takes it back. this is a declaration of war to the us hegemony. world wars start with incidents and are only later when over world war. this is it now. US won't accept that and will never deescalate. and russia feels if we let things as they were or if we die in war, the result is the same, russia's ending. the only way to keep what is left of the empire is to step up now by force. China will wait for now. but they know that when russia falls they are next, so it's highly likely they will support russia till the end. nato dramatically expanded their budget. the west bans russian media, russia bans western media: new iron curtian. Winners write the history. Who's to blame will be decided on the field...geopolitic. The old world will never return. We allready reached the peak. from now on it's downhill for all of us.

it was definitely not as bad from mid 90s till now this fake news law seems like something communist party of ussr would pass

Julian Assange, Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Ilaria Alpi ecc ecc? OH MY GOD WE ARE SO FREEEEEEE!

The major fault was the Russian population that was too lenient and made a blind eye to an oligarc troupe slide to tyranny using the legal constitutional laws. Like Germany in 1930 to 1933, Hitler was freely elected, then manipulates the constitutional laws to enables him to become a tyrant, and established the nazi regime. Putin made it more slower, but every step to dictatorship had the cumplicity of Russia electorate, nothing more, nothing less.

I think he meant, he never faced that. In his life time
