You are a brave man for asking questions in public! Much respect from USA!

I love how Daniil constantly says “Aaah!” like he’s learning about this information for the first time.

"Defending your motherland in a foreign country. How is that possible?" Thank you, Daniil for all you do. Stay safe 🇬🇧

Smart question for the video! It allow the interviewed people to talk more freely about the topic, without specifically express their own opinion. Good job!

How about the obvious: the old people don’t get drafted to go off to war to die or get maimed, the young people do. Their friends, boyfriends, brothers, and husband pay the butcher bill, not the old people.

6:00 "Rock singer Shevchuk said that the motherland isn't the president's ass. Do you agree with that?" "No." This means that the motherland, however, is the president’s ass...

That middle aged gentleman in Robin Hood hat nailed it ! Respect. Russia has youth and brains and it doesn’t deserve the criminals in cremlin !

Greetings from Lithuania. Happy to know that there are people like you out there. Sad to see how people support war but happy to see people like you. Hope you will stay safe

Excellent hard hitting questions that makes people think. Thanks Daniil!

I wish more people in Russia were like you Daniil. It’s good to question things and make up your own mind. Propaganda is never good for any Country. Putin is not a strongman though he tries hard to project that image. People in Russia would be very happy if they could taste freedom. Just my opinion.

The video is next level, and I feel that Danill has found a new way of creating content. Way more creative than those that are consciously striving to be treated as art masters, but what I see here is just a pure piece of video art!

Excellent question to ask and some very interesting answers. Much respect to you Daniil.

"Anti-Putin protest." Great wrap up. I found this to be one of your more interesting street interviews. Maybe it was the form of the question and the topic, but it seemed people were more open in expressing their "observations".

I thought "whaaaaat? An anti Putin protest!!!". You got me! 😀👍🏻🇬🇧

5:53 The gentleman does not agree with Shevchuk's statement, so he will support his denial, namely: "the motherland is the president's ass."

Daniil, you're the man. As a Ukrainian, I'm grateful for this channel. Keep up the good work.

Дэниел, Пожилые русские могут подвергнуться влиянию. «ностальгия» по тому, что некий лидер поднял их с колен. Они могут даже чувствовать, что он единственный человек, который может их направлять. Но куда этот человек ведет Россию? Старики могут слепо следовать за своим лидером со скалы, как лемминги. Молодые люди склонны задавать больше вопросов и, конечно, имеют доступ к большему количеству информации Уинстон Черчилль однажды сказал: «Если вы не либерал в молодости, у вас нет сердца. Если ты не консерватор, то как пожилой человек у тебя нет мозгов» (я знаю, что его ненавидят в России и понимаю причину) Мне 64 года и мои социальные взгляды считаются либеральными. Я думаю, что основная разница между мной и россиянами моего возраста в том, что у меня больше доступа к различным формам новостей. Я критический мыслитель. Я обрабатываю информацию, затем формирую собственное мнение. Когда ты растешь в среде, где чувствуешь, что у тебя нет выбора, ты склонен следовать, а не принимать собственные решения. Будущее России - в ее молодости.

The reference to a protest against Putin was excellent. 😂

Hey Daniil, can you ask people to give a definition of "fascism"? Then give them the actual meaning. Would be interesting

Russia is like two-headed eagle on their emblem. One head looks into the past, the other into the future, so it can't fly anywhere.

"Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die." Herbert Hoover - 1944

Most people have fond memories of their youth. So for these old guys that was in the Soviet Union, and thats what they equate good times with.

6:41 anecdotally I believe this is a big driving factor in someone's viewpoints differing greatly between certain ages. I'm in my 40s but tech-savvy, and in a unique generation where I grew up with ONLY traditional information sources available: other people, tv media, movies / documentaries, books / enclyclopedias etc And then watched the internet come alive and upend ALL of that. It's a pretty interesting perspective to be able to have so intimately, and I feel really, REALLY grateful to have it and for the freely accessible info I'm privy to in 2023. Geopolitics are complex AF, but it's such an interesting bunch of data to take in. Huge interconnecting webs of interactions, consequences, ways of life. WILD times to be alive. TY 1420 team for all your content efforts. MUCH LOVE ~a random canadian viewer

As an older person, with older friends, I reject the notion that older people are naturally conservative or are more willing to trust the government. It depends on your education and upbringing; and it depends on the government. I have known many Russian emigres through my work, and I can tell you that they have a certain mindset. However, consider that these were the ones that *left* Russia: God help the ones who stayed.

Some clear thinkers with great answers in this one..and Daniil is a giant...for these videos. 'Younger people can cross reference more news sources..older people rely on the tv(propaganda)'..thats key

Peter the Great steered Russia toward Holland and France among other western countries. Putin the Terrible steers Russia toward Tehran and Pyongyang. If I were in my 20's in Russia I would try my hardest to emigrate to a western democracy.

Older people in Russia doesn’t travel and don’t know what’s really going on around 🌚

Interesting that so many of the older people in Russia pine for the old Soviet Union and they also consider themselves "Christians". Wasn't the USSR athiest? Didn't they prohibit people from worshipping and didn't they destroy churches? They seem to have faulty memories.

thank you for doing what you do. really, it is so valuable. stay safe!

Thank you daniil,you give hope!!!!From Norway.....

I’m a American from the Cold War generation. I served in the Vietnam War. It is said you must know your enemy. I’m 70 and have studied your Culture and History most of my life. I probably know more about your History than my own. The casualty numbers Russia suffered during WW2 are sobering. I understand the older Russians. I have faith in the younger generation of Russians that have no desire to revisit this event. We both have the ability to utterly destroy one another. How about we just eat a meal together and get drunk. Allow the young one’s to grow old like we are. Marry and make babies. Marriage is Warfare by other means. If you must fight, get Married! Citizen USA

I love it when you troll younger supporters of the war "why aren't you on the front line then?'.... 'Errrrr'.......

Love this channel. Keep up the good work and be careful.

You are a top class interviewer. You let people speak.

That ending made me laugh, you’re funny bro 😄

I watch your channel on a regular basis and always find it interesting. I’m always impressed by the quality of the responses you get from the people you interview even the ones I don’t agree with. It allows people like me to see and hear from the real Russian people and cut through all of the propaganda out there. Keep up the good work.

The one guy who said " but Yuri ( singer) does not represent the Soviet Union " He thinks current Russia and the USSR are no different . Putin was effective with the older generation by changing the anthem, putting troops in Soviet uniforms and stirring up national pride . Its in the dictators playbook for controlling the masses . You mudt save the Motherland. And only I can protect you . Great sense of humor . You had me on the " protest line " 😂

The people at the end are queuing to find out if their liquidated family member won them a fur coat or a toilet.

What do the people think of the attacks on Jewish people arriving at the Russian airport and Putin's failure to condemn it? After all, this is the same guy who attacked Ukraine to eliminate Nazis.

I'm sure there was a time when Russia had a chance to be in harmony with Europe and for some reason Putin didn't want to go in that direction. Democracy was not compatible with his goals.

5:36 someone tell Vitalli that a lot of his friends with serious sickness, missing limbs and bullet wounds are serving in the front lines.

Because old people don’t have to fight.

"Nah, I'm kidding. I don't know what it is.". Daniil cracked me up! Thank you for this video.

The problem with people is that the young think the old needs to change, and the old blame the young for all the current problems.

You are good at interviewing Danii, thanks once again for your work. Stay safe!

I like the way you practice empathy in your interviews. Like to ask this guy, what is his idea how younger people could learn to support the "SMO" better ...

Thank you. I'm an ol people, American old. Yep ol folks have memories. Hopefully our world will find a way for peace, and work together! As old as I am, can't really say I know of another planet that has our style of life! 😊

Another set of brilliant interviews!

4:00 that's what I find conflicting because the older generation were all raised as Atheists in the Soviet Union.

'Twas ever thus. Older people are always happier to see their countries involved in wars than youngsters for one very simple reason: They don't actually have to go and do the fighting. It's always old people who send the kids off to war to fight for the 'Motherland' or 'Fatherland', while the oldies sit at home in front of the fire and cheer them on. If we want to stop pointless wars, we should make it the first and most important law of war that nobody under the age of forty can serve in one.... and the oldies wouldn't do it. Just imagine: Instead of constantly going to war, the world would go to peace. And I know exactly what I'm talking about, because I'm an oldie myself.

Same everywhere on this planet, old people start wars, and the young get lumbered with fighting and dieing in these wars, while the old people stay home and bang on about how just the war is. And that "anti Putin protest" at the end that was a joke reminded me of the old news films showing people queuing for bread in Soviet Russia.

Hilarious closing prank on us.😂 Besides learning things on 1420, I always have at least one seriously good laugh.

Three cheers for the beautiful young lady 👏👏👏👏❤️( USA 🇺🇸 NJ) thank you for your videos 👍

You are asking good questions that let people answer in a broad range and let them think. You are doing important things out there on the streets. Keep up your excellent work 💛 but be careful and be safe. I laughed at your last comment 🤣.

Wonder how the older generation is going to feel when they are the cause of a nation collapsing TWICE? Once in the 90's....and I'll be damned if they didn't repeat the same exact failure as before and will collapse again. I literally expect it any day.

I find it hard to understand how come the old generation of Russians believe in what Russian state owned TV says without questioning.

LOL! You had us there at the end! 😄😄😄

Lol that ending 😂😂😂

Such a good question Daniil. It makes people think in their heads of who are killing Ukrainians and young Russians. Such survey if true also gives some hope. If it is false, manages anyways to somewhat ease our pains in watching your usual videos, important as they are.

You give us hope! Thanks

Well done Daniil ….love seeing it. Gives me hope for all of us, in love, in future, together….at long last.

Comrade Daniil, you cracked me up with that mid interview VPN announcement with the music 🎵😂

THANK YOU for finally making a video with intelligent coherent Russian people! I knew there had to be some normal people with a brain in Russia. Great video. Make more like this!

The 23yr old web designer in the North Face jacket had never heard of Dmitry Muratov, I've seen his interviews and I read Novaya Gazeta every day, I can't imagine what it's like to live in a country without a free press. Keep posting Daniil and good luck to you!

Thank you very much for your videos dude, i'm really hooked.

That was unexpected at the end 😂. “No, I’m kidding.” Thanks for the laugh!

But remember, this is for all related nations. The future generation are the ones who can choose what kind of future they want. Don't let the eldery drag you down.

Cannot agree more with Snezhana (the second interview), the type she's describing is a massive one. Got the basic needs secured (parents apartment, or the one from the soviet government), fall into a groove of bare minimum comfort, buy a new TV once every 15 years, no need to change in any way, just beer fueled couch potato-ing

Damn Daniel some of your most eye opening and deep dive reporting ever…you are on your way amigo!

Guys, I'm thankful that you are on the Bright side!

Older generation fears change, if they loose what they have there is no time left. The young have all the time and have little to loose.

Tasha, 22 is a model in every sense of the word.

Those who have nothing to look forward to demand prospects. Very insightful and simple. Thanks lady

Rather than living in the past, the past lives in the older generation. Read historian Orlando Figes’s excellent book “A Story of Russia”, which shows how the past informs Russia’s present

Thx Daniil! You are the best. I never miss an episode of 1420! Slava Ukraini from Canada!🍁💙💛🍁

It's easier to judge in favor of a war-effort when you are older because you know that with age comes a decreased likelihood of you being drafted into the real humangrinders of the Armed forces (Infantry, Army recon, tankers, etc...) and instead you would be more likely to serve as a technician, a medic, a trainer, or as administrative personnel when conscription is put into effect as you've typically got more to put to use there. The physical apt (younger) guys are naturally more likely being sent to the dirt zone, not to the heated staffs offices or the supply batallions. Not that they are less of a soldier, but they are certainly less of a dead man walking when ''sh*t hits the fan''. It's not just a Russian thing, but where I live, too. It is absolutely mind-boggling how many elder people are actually advocating for interventions and supporting a war-effort when they know they're (mostly) out of harm's way. When told that they better watch their mouths because their sons are fighting age and first in the line, they usually just go ''Yeah, but they would never join!'', as if they could be so sure of that. They are still caught in some wild cold-war era protagonism where everyone knew that all he's got to do to ''have contributed his part'' was serve for 15 months or so (in West Germany, that was...) to usually never touch a rifle again. Now we got less and less people actually aware that war is real stuff happening *today* and not just some ancient relic that their grandfathers tell them about. The worst thing are those 50-somethings coming up to you and telling you that ''back in their days, being a soldier was still hard!'' ...Oh?! Who would've thought? And then they're telling you about their exercises as a conscript as if it all was a big party or some adventure camp. I can assure you that those ''old vets'' have my respect, but the fun stops when they start ridiculing today's Army and making fun of it, and about how supposedly ''soft'' everyone in there is, while you know people who have been ambushed on an almost daily basis for months, killed men in combat or even stepped on a landmine. A dude I know from my brother's old coy, a former Infantryman, had his neck tattooed to hide scars sustained from shrapnel wounds in Afghanistan and sometimes people would ask if he had his tattoos from a gang. When he mentions ''War'' instead, people act like they've found a live dinosaur. The dude is 34! It sickens me that people act like we're ''too civilized'' or somehow ''immune'' to what's happening out there. We are clearly not.

💙🇺🇲 There is an old saying that was continuously repeated in the 1960's and early 1970's during the Hippy, Love, Peace, Government Protests era in the U.S.A., which everyone under the age of 30 repeated!: ☮️ " Don't Trust Anyone Over The Age Of 30 " ☮️

Spot on - in almost every interview you will find that the elder ones are the most aggressive and nuclear minded ones - whilst young people are more open minded and tired of the totalitarian Putin regime

For your next video can you ask people what they think of the pogrom at that Russian airport the other day

At the end of the video, people seem to be queueing for something. Maybe for some harder, stale reality, given for free. Eventually, they might get it. As for those who weren't queueing, whom answered your questions, most seemed to be getting reality faster. They seemed to have access to fresh, daily reality. The problem is, for everybody, to have a single, horrible baker, that won't allow any competitors.

Is 35 considered old in ruzzia 😱 I must be a grandad at 37 ….

Danii, look after yourself. You are a beacon of hope and a trumpet for truth and clear thinking! The second lady was as wise as we come and so concisely explained 'the Russian condition'. Putin, is like a crazed soviet sarcophagus wrapped up in lies and unravelling for the world to see.

But we have seen tons of young people in your videos who support this war, too, and older guys, that are against the war. So it is not that easy as you might think ...

This gives me hope. Now can you export this hope to America? We need it now than ever.

Man, you are one of the bravest people I have seen these days! Iam overwhelmed with admiration, keep it up!!!

I think that sadly the 80/20 stats may not be quite accurate, based on other clips from this excellent channel

When it's not your ass on the line it's easy to be fine with things like war it seems' so many old people only care about what effects them' as a youngish person myself I can't fathom thinking like this but it seems to be a world wide phenomenon' guess it's one of those they are a product of their time things' I just hope when I get old I don't start thinking like that.

thanks for posting

"Na I'm kiddin - I don't know what it is, actually" 🤣🤣

Daniil you are the chronicler of your age! Like Herodotus with the Persian Wars, Thulcidides with the Peloponnesian Wars and dare I say, Tolstoy belatedly with the Napoleonic War. Seriously 😉, you've done an instrumently important task to give hope for peaceful relations with the rest of the 🌎🌍 world for Russia and its future prosperity. Promethean of you and your team. Not sure how you get away with it.😂 Say hello to your angels 😇 for me.

The older people support the war because they don’t have to go and fight in it. They are beyond the age limit. It would be a different story if they were younger!

Thank you again for your valuable and brave work. There were many answers with a true core, however, I was wondering why nobody said the obvious: It is the younger people who have to fight in this war, not the old Generation.

I applaud all those working to express themselves in a second language.

I think a lot of it comes down to mindset. Right now the country is being run and controlled by people who grew up in the Soviet era or towards the end of it so they still have that frame of mind as a result of the limited and controlled information they've been presented. The younger generations (those born after 1991) who never knew the Soviet era but have grown up in its dying shadow and who also have access to broader information sources have a different view of the world. Sadly I think it will take maybe 50 years for Russia to truly get away from the Soviet shadow as it will be the generation of the younger interviewees and their children who will be running the country in a world that keeps shrinking geopolitically.

I wrote several different responses yesterday, and they were up on the site, but when I checked back later, all were gone. I could understand censoring one, but not all the others. I spent time to watch the video, and to thoughtfully respond to each person, then I took time to translate all into Russian, as I always do. I am very disappointed in seeing everything gone, it's never happened here before and I write comments in response to almost every video, and have been doing so for a couple years. Without an explanation of why my comments were censored, I am thinking maybe it's time to drop this subscription and use my energy elsewhere.

Daniil, you've got big cajones. You ask great questions and obviously care about your country and culture. Please be careful not to anger the wrong authorities!

Im coming to travel through Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia next week. Im looking forward to speaking to locals and getting a feel for how these ex-soviet countries think. I love watching your videos...they give me hope.

And yet a surprisingly high number of young people on this channel - even in Moscow - support the war.

Asking why perspectives are different from each other does not demand a first-person answer. Therefore, it allows many who would never speak up in person semi freedom to do so. Tricky, ticky, ticky! It's a safe interview for everyone. The Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti has no reason to use facial recognition and other crafty tools of the trade to find out who answers your questions that are not to Bortnikov's liking. Yet the FSB will continue to be watching because it is called job security and sure beats flipping hamburgers.
