Things that can surprise you in 🇷🇺
👍
🇷🇺❗️ Scène presque surréaliste dans un bus moscovite, du moins pour le Français ordinaire que je suis.
Deux adolescents montent dans le bus et commencent à jurer bruyamment, en multipliant les vulgarités. La réaction ne se fait pas attendre : un homme d’une trentaine d’années les saisit fermement par le col et leur ordonne de se calmer.
Deux minutes plus tard, ils recommencent. L’homme intervient de nouveau et les bouscule. Cette fois, une grande partie du bus se rallie spontanément à lui : plusieurs passagers se mettent à leur tour à réprimander sévèrement les deux adolescents.
Résultat : ils quittent immédiatement le bus.
Une telle scène paraît aujourd’hui presque inimaginable en France. En Russie, les insultes publiques et les comportements agressivement grossiers peuvent d’ailleurs être sanctionnés comme du « petit hooliganisme ».
Au-delà de la loi, c’est surtout cette réaction collective qui frappe : ici, face à un comportement jugé inacceptable, les passagers ne restent pas de simples spectateurs.

The secret is simple:
- Own very cheap energy.
- Own production of fertilizers - also cheap.
- Lots of very fertile lands.
Even in the capital such as Moscow, your food expense per day can be just $12 a day or about $360 per month. Regions are cheaper.
We are talking fresh, non GMO food. Great stuff!
OBS, the budget above does not cover dining out as some Restaurants in Moscow are very, very fancy 🤗

ロシア語のネットスラングでхзというのがあり、意味がわからないとつぶやいた結果、多くのロシア人の方から「知るか」「さっぱり分からない」とお返事があり、ロシアの方でも分からないのか〜と思ったらそうではなくこのスラングの意味が「知るか」だったというオチ。どこかの漫画でも見た流れ。

Can you imagine, in "democratic" West, you get arrested for opposing your government and despite massive protests, they still follow threw with their plans while having a rating of 15%
In "undemocratic" Russia a drop of rating, from 85 to 80%, is enough to change plans..

In West, someone wanted to demonize Rus' through drawings, but instead they created another cool piece of art with a message: If you show your bared teeth with poison against Rus', Matryoshka will come & knock your it's teeth out f*ck it. Did Russian agents do this a masterpiece?

На видео - россияне, как бы невзначай протягивающие свои дебетовые карты для оплаты проезда в автобусе. Я поражена уровнем доверия... Можете ли вы себе такое представить в своей стране?

Most sanctioned country on Earth?
Check this Russian store out, and tell me how it looks compared to what's on offer in your town.
I can tell you this: there's not a single shop back home that has anything close to this variety.

🇨🇦🇷🇺Farming in Russia vs the West
RealReporter, the channel that was banned from YouTube (for no reason), is now launching on Rumble and just released a lengthy podcast with Arend and Anneesa—the Canadian farm family.
Very informative content! The most important takeaway: Good-quality land is surprisingly affordable in Russia compared to Canada.
What does it really cost to buy land, build a house, and start an off-grid farm in Russia—compared to the U.S., Canada, or Europe?
The answers might surprise you.
