Good night

Bonus points for honesty 😜🤪🤗 That said, you're underselling your work and the impact it was having.... but quitting is where you make the call. When you're being quoted on US National news channels it's not because of hitting on women; it's because of the political impact the street interviews were exposing. Real "journalism".

I left a thumbs up, but i am afraid that you wont find any interesting topics. Am I interested in; 'hey baboushka, how do you come around with your retirement?" No.

No, this was not about ordinary interviews, it was about the people and their behaviour, how they replied which means their faces, their reactions without knowing the language. We could see what attitude they had for or against your and the question it was a mirror of the society and you also found a balance to ask a second time politely or with a smile that sometimes you got answers of even those who did not wanna say what the had said in the first moment. Or you had chosen a more direct way to ask again , a more pushing one. But I can understand if you feel bored somehow cause you get for sure 90 times a uniform answer like from a child in school 2+2 = Lenin or whatever they would be trained to reply, just to get those 2 answers you can present to us like those voters who found the courage to say that there is no choice or democracy and that they voted against Putin. Maybe you start it from the other side like ask me anything, but for your interviews: What do you want me to ask russian citizens ? And from all those question you simply choose where you think it would be fun again to go out and ask people. So not like an obligation that you have to ask for these questions. If you might not know how to deal with that, then choose the best 10 questions you think would be worth to be asked and modiy it in such a way that they make sense to be asked in russia to foreigners to get a good reply. And if you had found 10 most promissing or even challenging answers then ask the communiy for a their opinion or put 4 questions in a poll, then the next 4 poll but for each poll a simililar distribution that not your best 4 questions would end in 1 poll and beat each other I guess people will love the kind of interaction and you have no obligation for anything, but you might find questions you never had thought about. If you think about germany then you might think maybe 90% christians, but that is not true cause eastern germany had no religion at all during communism and then thousands left the church and became agnostic when the abuse scandals became public over and over again. That's why I wonder how many people believe in the russian orthodox god / way. I have no clue, could check wikipedia, which would then most likely divicde the big russian country and what so ever ethnicities and religion, but you could form whatever question out of it what makes sense to get a replay or a broad variety. I do not even know if people would talk about it or if russians simply do not talk about religion due to Marx "religion is the opium for the people" if I remember right, but who knows if that has become a part of russian communism and if that had stayed after the collapse of the soviet union. Good luck and all the best for your "journey as an (street) interviewer" which by the way is a job here to make a living - even though with a structured questionaire for the marketing or image campaigns.

Loved ❤all the street interviews you did . Your safety is #1 priority, stay safe ❤. I do miss your interviews they were very interesting

Russia will be free❤

@@MsAmesWickif so, it will be free because it’s people will have woken up… because outside help is not coming. But I do not see russians getting political again… this is not 1917.

I will remember that not enough russians have the balls to go out on the streets, so in the majority they support attacking other countries.

What a pathetic explanation. I did find your street interviews interesting, and was hoping to see more, but clearly you have been influenced to stop, and for some reason you are indirectly apologizing? If you have a secret passage out of Russia, I would take it now. Clearly you will be "mobilized" and sent to your death in Ukraine if you remain. You offered some little hope that young Russians were willing to speak freely about your terrorist government, unfortunately the risk must be greater than the reward.

We get so furious with the inhuman actions of the russian military, that we often forget that russia has many people who do not support this garbage at all. They were the ones chanting “Нет войне” (“no to war”) when it started. Many of them are still in russia, and still do not support putin or his ridiculous war. It has been GREAT to see this through Daniil’s eyes. I am grateful we got over two years of this, it is now part of the historical record. The fact that SO MANY OTHER CHANNELS use clips of his videos illustrates just how crucial they’ve been to getting the word out about how so many uncounted russians feel, genuinely. It took bravery on the part of those being interviewed, but especially of Daniil Orain. Regardless of his true reason(s) for quitting, I wish him well. He is a talented young man with a lot to offer. His talents could best be put to use in a creative role, perhaps in TV or film.

I agree with this.

I agree

100%

Historic is really the word! Don't stop 1420 Daniil! First - You are recording history, and at an important time! All of those insights you are getting will be studied for centuries to come. Secondly - Even though it may seem trivial to you, for us (would say most of the rest of the world), after WW2 Russia/Soviets got behind the "wall" and did not make part of our lives in Europe that much, we knew you existed, expected you to get along in the "prosperous/free" way that we where going, and we knew that you had a lot of resources, and that in general you were a powerful country, but not that much about your culture, way of thinking, your intentions, what moves you, etc. I know tons much more about the Checz, Poles, and all the baltic than about Russia, so your channel is gold! May it seem boring to you, it's an important insight into your culture...and already recorded in the hall of history ;)

It will be a souce for historians in 20/30 years for sure!

I think that he made this video to cover his tracks as he is starting to become more scared and threatened by the authorities. Maybe they didn’t force him to make it but I feel like he is trying to act his way out of the mess that has been made.

police got to him 100%

what a shithole of a country lmao

He's in Georgia now! 😊

@@Ennah08 source?

It would be best for russia to just leave him alone. No benefit to “silencing” him forever, he had a nice project - and it’s come to an end, and I’m honestly surprised it didn’t happen sooner. Russia needs creative minds like his… not necessarily to benefit putin, but for other things. There will always be a need for creative thinkers, and I imagine many of the ones they had before the war are now pushing up sunflowers in Ukraine. So, he has plenty of potential to do work that is beneficial for the people.

@@Rocket_scientist_88 Authoritarian leaders don't think like that.

Seriously guys... if he was arrested by FSB do you really think the FSB would have forced Daniil to make an epilogue/explanation video 😅 ? No. The FSB would have seized his hard drives, and throw him in jail for a few years. Basta. Daniil is free in Georgia. Not forced by anyone.

I'm sorry to say after a year or so he'll be found dead.

I do agree with you, I wish Danil good luck. But I will not following him anymore. Now he is just one among 10000000 others uintresting youtubers

"we" ? NO

I used to subscribe to his channel, but unsubscribed after a short time. That was his other channel, not this one. Saw him once live stream and found it childish. That’s when I unsubscribed. And it looks like putin got to him also. I’m suspecting he’s getting a little worried he’s ending up on the front lines.

This is exactly why everyone liked your interviews, pure journalism at ground level. Yes it does get boring after a while. Hopefully you'll find strength to carry on to deliver political news and opinions of everyday people. It is interesting for rest of the world

@@Aleksa_Lomako We, yes sergei. 🙄

I remember the reaction of 2 old ladies being interviewed by a sunny day in Moscow. 1) astonished by the question. 2) both ladies looked at each other. 3) one of these old ladies said: you shouldn't ask such questions young man.

How TF do you know they're still attached?

@@SerenityMae11 He is Russian. Instead of conscription, wealthy Russian young men and women can serve their country by attending the MGIMO. He graduated, thus his old account has been retrieved and achieved for further analysis. Now he is currently working for "some entity" as a journalist/ empty talking head. Read between the lines, he will tell you in this interesting and monitored video. His want to become a journalist is strong. One thing he does lack in if he wishes to send information to the outside world is his lack of steganography. He isn't good at all.

Daniel is 1000x more brave than I could ever be, sitting here in the safe, comfortable West where I don't have to fear I will be arrested for anything I say.

somehow its always you arrogant westerners thats talking about kgb, censorship etc and not the russians itself

Come on he’s young, maybe he wants to start doing something with his life.

He always sounds like that, c'mon. It's often happens when english is not your first language.

According to this Video Daniil IS a useless Girl Chaser and wanabe journalist and His viewers are paranoid and stupid. That IS the opinion of the Russian Secret Service, so it's Not difficult to See WHO wrote this speech.

@@angela-qh8gl Thats what he did. It was very important

or there is an fsb officer off camera

That's why this fact has been noticed by the authorities, he's being threatened to kill his successful channel otherwise bad things will happen to him

​@@jcquerevalu Proof?

@@movement2contact The humilation of himself and His viewers Proofs IT IS fake: according to the Video we are stupid and paranoid and He IS a useless Girl Chaser. I am Sure that the Russian Secret Service thinks that of US and him.

@@movement2contactproof? How about living in today’s totalitarian Russia where holding up a blank sheet of paper at a protest can get you years of prison? I think it’s a miracle this guy was able to pull off what he did for the amount of time he did.

This could be Ukrainien pretending he is from Russia, or he could be traitor. Shit people are everywhere , even in Russia.

Bro.... I wish I thought you were joking... My guy did so much. I can understand how he feels and the way he explains sentiment towards doing the interviews, but... ye, Yvan probs standing off right u.u

Agree.

Yo, might be wrong, he's still doin' some brave vids on this new channel Mad respect to this lad for doing more with his short life so far than I have in all of mine. ~a random canadian subscriber dude

I was thinking the same thing 😂 Why would someone stop the thing that gets him the most views , because he is not going away from youtube as a job clearly.

He's in Georgia.

"fallen" ? why fallen ? He's still here and his new videos are actually more free/ dissident than the street interviews

@@liamros3562 1420 Rocks..! Shame it’s a new channel… why..? 1420 was honest and real… It seems to me it was shut down. Don’t you agree? Ask 100 Russians.

@@liamros3562for now. I hope I’m wrong

and at the same time i totally understand him. youtube for one is full of dating gurus, movie reactioners etc. who repeat the same words and things over and over and over and over. some people are pointing it out and mocking them or begging them to do something else. then we have someone like orig Rolfe who has also stated his passions are now elsewhere than AVGN. i mean daniils videos for long have been an echo chamber in itself where just by looking at the title i know 50% say cant comment or not interested in topic, 45% say putin is hero and theres usually that 1 person who goes on to rant about how everything sucks. its like sure people still investigate WW2 but we all know the basic gist of it from any old book. sure in a year or 2 things might change but now its like milk factory making the same old same old.

I learned more from his channel than whwt "the news" ever said. It was awesome. I remember thinking this is the power of the internet!!!

Russians are highly masking proud chauvinists. They will go on and on about wise "russian literature " then say stuff like - everyone is in fact russian inside and we are both great conquerors and indigenous people on newly occupied land at the same time. Never trust them.

Russians are highly masking proud chauvinists. How to tell if russian is alive? He lies. How to tell if he lies? He opens his mouth.

I learned more by watching these street inteviews about russia than studying history so many years at school

Yes, I learned a lot also. Don’t always like what I learned, but I thank you for your interviews. Look forward to your next endeavor. Nice jacket man!!

He's in Georgia. I don't think he's forced anymore. Plus his new channel here is actually more problematic with russian administration...before he could blame the content/what's being said on the interviewees. Not anymore

@@liamros3562Georgia? Any “agitator”, that gets out of line, the little green men, will get them.

@@liamros3562 So you think russian authorities are only in russia? Thats naive

@@john-toregundersen2655 No, I don't think that russian authorities/agents are only in Russia. But what I think is that the average russian caught criticising Putin's Regime or the war in Ukraine on the internet is very likely to end up in jail if denounced (it doesn't cost much) while living in Russia. On the other hand, sending a FSB team to a foreign country to "silence" a 23 years old russian youtuber is very unlikely. Too expensive for a kid who's not much of a threat to Russia abroad (it's not like he's starting a revolution with other young dissidents in Russia) Be realistic. That answer goes also for @jacobfrederick3614 Daniil can continue speaking about LGBT rights in Russia, as long as he's abroad, he will be safe because it's too much trouble for too little of a threat. The deserter soldier in Spain was a different story. He could have divulged classified information.

@@john-toregundersen2655 _"So you think russian authorities are only in russia? Thats naive"_ No, I think it's easy/not expensive to arrest/silence a youtuber in Russia, but too expensive/complicated to do it in Georgia, not worth the threat.

The guy is being threatened by the authorities.

💯

he's not in Russia anymore. He's OK...but wants to turn the page ... and also it's not easy to do street interviews in Russia when you are in Georgia.

police got to him 100%

@@user-pl4pz2xn2c He's in Georgia. Relax.

His purposeful video steganography is over the top with his body language and hidden wording. He attempted to convey to the ones outside of Russia who understand his position that he has graduated the Institute and is now working as a talking head journalist in Russia. He is far from broken or for that fact,,, broke. He is an elitist born in training for the new and improved Russia 2.0. It is what it is.

​​@@-TheOracle-so my question to you is, if Russia 2.0 includes Putin and his goals?

@@Paulusmus Putin does not consider himself a villain, but rather a patriarchal guardian. I honestly believe he cares about the supremacy of the educated Russian and would be interested in enabling the 2.0 campaign showing a better Russia. Putin projects strength, and rightly so. He also has a persona to maintain as the leader of Russia's linear top-down Russian system. Wouldn't you think that he would have influence over all things Russia? Be blessed as it sure beats the alternative!

@@-TheOracle- There I got my answer.... Pure propaganda 🤮 Now even more convinced that something happened to a great street journalist. 😔

@@Paulusmus You obviously have trouble with comprehension. Not one thing was said good about Russia, Putin and his linear system. On the other hand, you will never EVER hear Daniil say one bad thing about Putin and his total control over all things Russia. Try again, sport.

I also grew up in the GDR and perceive the video the same way you do.

Same here. Whoever has experienced this stuff will know right away why Danil made this video.

I didn't grow up in GDR but lived in DDR before during and after the wall fell. It's very sad that there are now people being forced back into repression in Russia after a small taste of freedom that people in now former GDR can now enjoy in relative security.

@@fullonfog How did they use their freedom?

Insert spiderman pointing meme

Danil misses you, Danil

Hahahaha

Are you in jail?

NO!!

He sounded genuine but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ That remain in the conspiracy realm.

Ask Daniil how good the Victory Coffee tastes at the Chestnut Tree Café...?

I found it interesting that he talks about "chicks" but I had him down as being gay for some reason...which I know Kremlin do not approve and have medieval attitude. Is there two birds in one stone from the Kremlin in this video?

@@bg1616 possible

​@@bg1616that's silly. Why do you think that?

Exactly my thoughts, though I can imagine him starting interviews before the war was to gain confidence talking to people including in talking to girls. What he produced was valuable and treasured.

@@tarunarya1780 No judgment here, but one's gaydar strongly intuits that he's not into girls. Of course I could be completely wrong. That claim of his made me more suspicious - like he was told to say that.

Most likely

I also started watching because I was thinking how the hell are Russians okay with what Putin is doing..?! And gradually I saw either the disengagement, the sense of hopless powerlessness, the fear of stepping out of line or the total ignorance and fragile puffed up pride of the brainwashed who just don't know anything beyond the nightly TV propaganda. I began to understand they arent like us... because they live in a very different society, with very different experiences and expectations. I began to see most people, even those who expressed the vilest ideas, as victims of a kind of repression that most in the West can't imagine, not just a physical freedom but a mental freedom. I detest Putin all the more for it... he's robbed these people not just of the wealth of their natural resources but of a proper sense of self and freedom to develop their full potential with a peaceful and prosperous future.

Der Typ ist doch einfach nur eine einzige grosse ENTTÄUSCHUNG ! Ich/wir müssen uns da wohl selbst die Schuld geben das ich/wir mehr in diesen Orc hinein interpretiert haben, als eigentlich drinn stecken *KANN !* Das ist zumindest mein Fazit nach zweimaligen anhören seiner rotzigen "Erklärung" ! Ob ich Ihm das glaube mit: " ha ha ha FSB.... achwo woher denn...!" bin ich mir auch absolut nicht sicher !? Vielleicht suche ich da aber unbewusst schon wieder Rechtfertigungen um diesen Homunculus nicht als das betrachten zu müssen was er nun einmal ist... *Ein simpler vorwiegend instinktgeleiteter, seelenloser Egoist ! ...oder kurz: Russe !"

This comment is the reason why I don't like Daniil's work. Do you know that opinion polls just don't work in authoritarian countries? Especially on camera like Daniil is doing? The most people who against the war just don't participate in such kind of polls. So it's basically pointless and gives false perception about mood of common russian people. By the way I very recommend you to google name Yuri Kokhovetz, the guy who gave a comment for Radio Svoboda.

@@Anastasia-nn5fy Freedom means Europe, how did you think im a ukrainian citizen? orc orc

Its not funny, he might be in huge shithole

Would be good to have that checked and confirmed. If that's the case, they probably gave him the choice of leaving Russia, and they "suggested" he made this video so his family back in Russia would be unharmed.

police got to him 100%

someone had to tell him to stop, maybe not fsb.

no lol

FSB, please stop commenting my post. You're not fooling anyone.

Oh, I think most of us here understand that this was probably forced. The FSB has a habit of scaring dissenters to the point that when they are visited by representatives of the russian government, they are terrified to the point where they have to make an insincere “apology” video. This video by Daniil is clearly what that was, although less apology and more “this is the real reason I quit doing this”. Let’s just let him off the hook, he’s done so much. Perhaps to a super-creative mind like his, this was the best way to get off the hook with the government. He says he’s done, then I believe him - he’s done. That’s it. Time to move on. Good luck to you in your future projects, Daniil! Thanks for making videos that remind us NOT to hate every russian. Cheers. 🥃

@@Rocket_scientist_88that’s what I think. He is trying to cover his tracks and make it out like he’s changed and is no longer a danger to the fsb, arresting him would no longer be worth it for them. It’s forced yes but forced because he’s scared and wants to move on.

Well said.. I too.. learned so much about Russia through this young man, "Daniel" I fear his naivety has been shattered with the reality of what Russia is today . I truly pray for his safety and well-being … KCB🇬🇧

Russia is more than free (give examples of “not freedom”) The war of the West against Russia did not weaken it even economically, but on the contrary united people among themselves due to external aggression, and the country is multinational and the enemies are trying to create discord between different people on the basis of religion, appearance and language, but the strength of the Russian Federation lies precisely in the fact that the peoples inhabiting it were not suppressed and did not “Russify”, preserving their culture and language and freedom. Regarding Ukraine, it was the United States that staged an armed coup there, overthrowing the elected president, killed the military and removed all the judges, and then went with weapons against those who did not accept the coup, starting to kill Russians in their own cities in the east of Ukraine, take the same Lugansk, it was founded by Catherine 2 and built factories there for the war with Napoleon, a typically Russian city with a Russian population, which ended up in Ukraine during the collapse of the USSR (although people voted for preserving the USSR, in the same Crimea there was a referendum on staying with the Russian Federation during the collapse of the USSR, all they didn’t give a damn about it) so by killing Russians, banning their language and promoting NATO in these cities and throwing the Black Sea Fleet out of Crimea and the Black Sea, how could there be any other reaction other than war? everyone knew this, and that we see at the head of the war the same people who carried out the coup d'etat - the USA and Western countries supplying weapons, but the Russian Federation is to blame and it is not free, so it should fall apart into free pieces, lubricate the anus with cream and sit peacefully, nothing missed it?

Even you don't understand that he was forced to do this?

⁠@@LV-426...and even if he thinks so… it would change the meaning of his comment.

Solovyov, Simonyan, or Skabeyeva?

@@nicolasolton who?🤷‍♂️

If this was true...he would be in provisory jail waiting for a trial, and then end up spending a few years in jail. He would not do an explanation interview. Did you watch his new videos? "Liberal is an offensive word in Russia" "New wave of journalists arrests in Russia" If he was taken by the FSB he would not be allowed to publish those either ! And once again he would be in jail, not outside in the sun. He's in Georgia, not in Russia anymore. I have the feeling he won't go back..(and he shouldn't)

I'm not sure why people like you are surprised. He asked too many people to the point you'll easily see the pattern most of the time. Older people like Putin, younger don't. Older people prefer status quo over things like LGBTQ and other stuff. Not fun to keep hearing the same opinions everytime.

@@spellbrand477 Yeah I actually stopped regularly watching over a year ago because it got to the point where every interview had the same responses. Eventually you just run out of topics to ask people about and keep getting interesting responses! All these wacko american conspiracy theorists in the comments is insane. Russia's not even a little bit like all the horrors you imagine in North Korea. I lived there for half a year on a study abroad and it's really not that different from the US. You'd think the interviews could have helped the American viewership realize that the two countries really aren't that different, but some people just can't get over the propaganda they're fed and will believe anything. smh.

​@@user-deevtlemme guess you lived in Moscow?

@@user-deevt Well, it is not what you you are suggesting a bit simplistic though? Besides the fact that perhaps your experience in Russia dates back a few years. As a matter of fact, currently it is not a country where one can openly protest without repercussions. The judiciary is not indipendent from the political establishment. And competition at political level is non existent. Of course, if you do not protest, keep your mouth shut and get on living your life, it is not a very different place than most. Same can probably be said for North Korea, or China. However, things might be changing. For many years Putin was happy with a 60% of the population getting on with stuff and being left alone, provided they were not politically active they had the guarantee that their body and security would be respected. Now there is a chance that he might need to move towards a more totalitarian approach.

@@yyyy12344 You ask, "What interesting topics are left to discuss?" I assume you mean if one excludes the questions already asked about attitudes towards Ukraine and Russian war crimes. How about Global climate change and its impact on Russia, rapid population decline and its impact on Russia, what caused so much flooding and heating failure in Russia's major cities, events in Israel/Palestine, trade with China, venereal disease epidemic, long-term Covid, which US presidential candidate would be better for Russia, independence movements within the Russian Federation, food prices, what does "Russky Mir" actually mean, is Kyril a legitimate leader of the Russian Orthodox church, what about other religions within the Russian Federation, what's your opinion on abortion, will AI take over the world, dependence on China, relationship with North Korea, relationship with India, internet trolls, access to the Baltic Sea, Chinese shortage of women and whether Chinese men could take Asian-Russian war-widows as brides, differences or common ground between European Russia and Asian Russia, alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence, the impact of bribery on social mobility, Russian industry versus imports, mass Boomer retirement and new job openings for younger but smaller generations, the bombing of Russian territory (both from Ukraine and from Russia's own accidents) Putin's age and who will replace him since he's not immortal, name ten significant differences between the East and the West, green technology versus the petroleum industry, what kind of future do you prepare your children for, etc. And that's just off the top of my head.

...or his family

My guess is he has some high ranked relatives so he’s got a warning and gets away if he’s done with it.

His body language strongly suggests something else

I agree and you said it much better than I did. Cheers.
