  • @sourmanofcoal You need sun for solar panels, dumbass.

  • Were is your great russia lovers? Where is your KGB monkey Putin?

  • can't follow without subtitles...too bad

  • I ask myself why did some people SETTLE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

    Humans are so funny XD

  • @wirsenden2 A great deal of the People living in cities like vladivostok are there to either work on one of the many Siberian oil derricks and chemical plants, or were relocated there during Stalin's rule. So most of them really didn't emigrate there by choice.

  • @rahagbab I see.. well people settled everywhere in desert landscape and in antarctica. If you aint running naked through the jungle the weather here in germany is pretty cool. Its raining often but we have REAL summer, winter, fall, spring... people don't like the weather here i think its nice it has variation.

  • wow, Russia sucks

  • Excuse my embarrassing ignorance.. but I live in California and I've never seen snow.. so.. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why they can't just use snow for water as long as they know it's clean? Why would they have to walk almost two miles to go to a well?

  • snows NORMALY ok. In the mountins when all the snow melts during spring and you drink water from the waterfalls its the best water i ever drank in my life. But 10 inches of snow is just one inch of water. so you would have to get a crap load of snow. and its still not "safe" it would be like leaving a cup outside in the rain and then drinking it. it would hold you over but after a while you would get sick. in the 1600s people drank almost nothing but wine because it was safer to drink then water

  • That looks cold as heck... I feel for these people.

  • Btw they fixed the problems.... That was consequences of the Yeltsin era

  • @4illegalalien

    True.

  • 13:20 nonsece is this - they just need to boil the snow ...:-/

  • LMAO This is a troll magnet. All the rednecks have gathered.

  • Lamentável que a Rússia hoje seja dirigida por mafiosos e bêbados.

  • @Armando1735 é oque a vodka faz né? hauha =/

  • @x0fiz  deve ser foda vivier na russsia

  • Why would anyone who doesnt speak Russian watch this Doc?

  • @gigobait cause the title is in English!

  • If this is not a scalding indictment of Statism and Communism, I do not know what is. Only Russians could be strong enough to survive such Hell. It is a really sad state of affairs.

  • This is the real truth of russia. I've been there and it's corrupt and not what they would have us believe.

  • im ukrainian and can barely understand what the russians are saying..

  • @serge421UA Well thats a shame :( And it's a shame i can barely understand Ukrainians

  • @gigobait well russians typically dont understand other eastern european languages thanks to the asshole russian tsars who "rusofied" eastern europe

  • @serge421UA im glad we all know the English language thanks to the great British and American powers who spread democracy and freedom across the world.

  • Для них Россия это что то дикое и непонятное-наверно.

  • russia's a fukin hole like

  • this video is from 10 years back! things must have improved since then.

  • What's the point of uploading these vids without subtitles?

  • Russia is like detroit only 100 times bigger.

  • Its fuckin stupid how they havnt subtitled the russians talking :/

  • russia looks like an absolute fuckhole

  • fuking putin, lenin, krmax, stalin fuker, WELCOME TO U.S.A( SONG)

  • In America, your job determines your marks.

    In Soviet Russia, Marx determines your job.

  • I was talking to my grandfather some time ago ( he used to live in Krasnoyarsk, Russia.) And he said life was better during the CCCP.....

  • @kop4321 it's not uncommon to hear that. the security of being cared for after a lifetime of hard work disappeared overnight. it's a very sad & horrible effect of making a better life for future generations... eventually life in a free country will be much better, but the growing pains are horrific.

  • @sprinklefriend Ive been watching/reading some stuff lately...And well Communism may be back; its getting larger amounts of support year by year.

  • xaxa... so stupid video. Go to Detroit, New York, Oakland, Flint, New Orleans... many places on USA is wastelands. xD Vladivostok is actually nice place. These guys film some industrial park, and apartment with broken heat and call him shit? lol typical western documentary - stupid.

  • @bittemeinrammstein The presenters are Westerners (I believe owned by BBC, and probably owned by News Corp.) and so they go out of their way to point out Russia's problems. I've watched all of their videos on Russia and most, if not all, are negative. The U.S. has its problems too but Journeyman will not show that. It's a good effort but Journeyman seems anti-Russian a bit.

  • @votumseparatum1  The video speaks for itself no matter WHEN it was shot or what the circumstances. I've been there and it totally sucks and many of the russians on youtube try to get others to believe it's not what we see here! The corruption is rampant still today, traveling involves carrying money to pay people off cause I'm American, to say nothing of the inflation rate in some cities. I've worked all over the world and russia is the worst of all, it's a hell hole!

  • @docrw Sure but my point was that Journeyman often present a negative perspective of Russia without presenting the same view for Western countries. Yes, Russia has its problems but Journeyman has not really shown any of the positive traits of Russia. There is no balance is what I mean.

  • It's not like they can go too a coal mine, dig up a wheelbarrow of black rock, and heat their homes with it. Saying callous things like "They have the resources, they should use them" just illustrates your ignorance.

    Just as in the United States and all other first world economies, people are too busy working long days just too feed themselves and keep a roof over their heads, they don't have the time too defeat corruption, especially when they are living in a corrupt Police State.

  • Eastern Europeans are among the poorest whites (as you an see) and are also the most racist. The young men and women come to the us expecting because their white to be given preferential treatment over minorities, even those minorities who are American citizens.

  • You got to be kidding US! You're a typical russian just jealous... I've been to russia and it is a complete nightmare compared to the USA and is the worst country I've ever been to. Anyone reading that comments should do a search on " russian children street abandoned" and you will get a reality check of them. 3 to 4 million abandon kids over there and they are lawless animals. russians are really the worlds scum!! You don't see russians adopting Americans.

  • @stupidrussia Btw I heard that it's at least more than 5 million. Russians have gas, uranium and all so why don't they fucking use it to warm buildings!?

  • @stupidrussia Well, based on your comment. Instead of humiliating Russia because of it's condition, extend a hand for help especially to those 3 to 4 million kids being abandoned. This age of our time, i think it's more practical to have a peaceful life and avoid war thoughts and insecurities. It doesn't matter if you are an American or Russian, we are all living in one world. We should love each other regardless of their race and nationality. I hope peace and love will reign in this world :|

  • @stupidrussia - Hmm... official data say 700,000 kids on Russia are abandoned. official data also show how USA have ateast 500,000. Interesting. ;) ...Actually you do... there is one whole part of Moscow who is all Americans and Russian families who adopt American/Canada children. xaxa... you know nothing of Russia and I bet my money you never been here. xD

  • 11:48 What for she needs refrigerator? to prevent products from freezing?

  • гордимся нашей Родиной! 

  • 'Great' is not who has the most or the biggest guns, or who has the most money - Russians are a truly GREAT people. Hugs and tears and best wishes for good Russians, from one who has read the history of Russia.

  • Russia saved the world from 'the ultimate skinhead': Hitler. Adolph would have given over power to another 'Adolph' - Read History - Russia had to do more than any other country in WW2. I and zillions of others respect Her always for that. BIG HUGE HUGS AND SALUTES TO RUSSIA. XOXOXOXOXO ... from Canada.

  • i lived in Russia 11 years and i had to face all this shit while i was a kid no power no water no heat i live in Canada now when i came this was heaven i can actually sit in my apartment and use a computer warm and clean but no matter what i still love Russia i visit the country every couple of years just to go and do shit i can't do in Canada shoot guns at night blow up fireworks drive with no insurance and no seat belt the real freedom is in Russia just not the positive one best to Russia

  • @Ferior We lost our sense of solitude. After we broke up into the RF and other countries we have less pride. In Saint Petersburg it's no were this bad, but in Leningrad(Saint Petersburg in the USSR) it was one of the best places I have ever lived in my life. People say it was bad under Socialism, they are wrong it was great. Better ten it is now, but this video is a little more propaganda then truth, but not all lies.

  • @AmericanStory1 Why do you watch these videos???

  • all politics from all over the world are crooked as shit!

  • russia signed his deathrow when the URSS and the Communism falled in 1991

  • what a shithole russia is. god help those people.

  • wow russia sucks :( i feel sorry for the tourist who come here in the summer, cause they have to leave in the fall :(

  • An extremely good documentary on Russia - a country that wants to become a world superpower but is unable to provide the absolutely basic necessities to its own people ...

  • this is a goddamned outrage. makes me glad i wasn't born in Russia. Much love to the people there from the USA.

  • How is it now.

  • Give it back to China

  • This film is almost 10 years old. Alot of thinks have changed since then.

  • No one should have to live that way. Can't they melt the snow for water?

  • I was at a little cut in St. Petersburg and it was not bad.

    nothing like this

  • the most corrupt state in the world!

  • Wasn't like that in Saint Petersburg 

  • wow russian poor , that is comunist never better.

  • @iamyourdeath25 Romanians are poorer...

  • @vplat123 =))))))))))))))) you make me laughing

  • @iamyourdeath25 I've been to Romania. I know what I'm talking about. The GDP of Moscow is bigger than GDP of the whole Romania. Romania is a country bankrupt.

    You are just sucking money from EU.

  • @vplat123 aha for that you stollen Moldovia from as, because we are poor country, from that you stollen armamnet, because we are poor country , try to thing man, your Russia is a poor country , your populationa is 10% rech and 90 poor, you know that.

  • Journeyman Pictures does some good stories about little-known places and issues, but is a bit senstationalist. Another Journeyman program on North Korean workers in Valdiovostik, also on Youtube, says that the city is actually booming. It was made in 2003.

  • subtitles subtitles subtitles!!!!! we miss half the damn message!! we can't learn anything if we don't understand the language!!!

  • @bonesmccoy1  I AGREE!!!

  • @jmintube Stereotype

  • I'm agreeing with anyone who complains about the lack of subtitles. I know a bit of Russian, but it's hard to understand.

  • Hm, I want the subtitles since I don't know Russian.

  • This is why we want Stalin back

  • @Goblinaxx This is why we don't want Stalin back. Under Stalin things were not greatly better. Lenin all the way.

  • @RussainCommunist Neither Stalin and Lenin Russians arent only made of communism!

  • Comment removed

  • so sad..

  • I pray for you people of Russia and the rest of the world...

  • Vladivostock has all the ingredients to be a really cool city - for a start it has one of the most beautiful natural settings of any city anywhere; the cosmopolitan atmosphere (like many big ports) and generally the population is well- educated, entreprenurial and creative. Such a shame.

  • Like the people of Detroit have it any better than theses poor soles!

  • LOL even normal ppl in russia looks like protitutes

  • @SeriousSam1998 you talk like one

  • @SeriousSam1998 hey dont get excited

  • @SeriousSam1998 that doesnt make sense..

  • Yes, Democracy is a really good form to live. But don`t be arrogant west!. We have so much to learn to be better. Anyway, this is my opinion, those are my axioms.

  • @bragunovskoie There are 2 remarks that I would like to make.

    Today's society is pure hedonism and without values, as you put, not because of democracy or capitalism, but because we killed God and meaning.

    And "everything is allowed" not due to so much freedom, or do you think that you can kill everyone in Tokyo and get away with it? "Everyting is allowed" in countries without institutions to protect citizens, like North Korea, Russia or Brazil...

    Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" talks about that.

  • @Soulflytribe04

    i dont need God for meaning.

  • @Crazylalalalala Where do you get your meaning?

  • @Soulflytribe04

    lessons learned throwout my life. tough to me by teachers, friends, perents and actions i have taken or witnessed...... many more

  • @Crazylalalalala Yeah, the russian too.

  • @Soulflytribe04

    ok ?

    thx for the pointless out of context statement.

  • considered old fashioned. That`s not the problem itself, because the history is progression, the french revolution break the Absolut Monarchy, Roman empire colapsed, etc etc. The problem is that we aren`t constructing new values. We are simply "having fun" an that`s it.In my opion Today`s society is pure hedonism. My pleasure first, then everybody.Go fuck, and that`s it. That`s the problem with western society. We think that we are better that our democracys are example and they should copy us.

  • THE PEASENT HATE COMMUNISM, AND THAT`S WHY LENIN OR STALIN HAD TO KILL MILLONS OF RUSSIANS. TODAY RELIGION IN RUSSIA IS GROWING UP

  • I'd would like to play Monopoly under candle light with the Russian Journalist! Seriously though, a sad story.

  • I have not been to Vladivostok in many years. They had their share of problems in the 90s, but as far as know the situation has drastically changed FOR THE BETTER now. The city is indeed thriving, mainly as a gateway for trade with Japan and China -- the volume of that two-way trade is GENOURMOUS, most of the city is PROFITABLY involved with imports-exports, shipping, customs, etc.

    Curious: why would one post this 10-year-old report in 2008?

    :)

  • It's June 15,2010 i am seeting in my appartmant in Croatia and it's very warm,so i wished little cold air from Russia-and send them back a warm air-that will be good for both of us!Regards from Adriatic sea!

  • it's so horrible it's almost beautiful I live in Eastern Europe these things are very familiar to me and also have some sad magic about them that reminds me of home making these undeniably horrific scenes filled with warm memories and a will of survival against all odds a true human achievement if there ever was one Good luck!

  • fucking horrible

  • People often criticize the soviet union but then live off all the thing made in that era. Slowly draining resources from stock piles until there is nothing left. And then they are surprised when something breaks down.

    And stop with these mean comments.

  • russia is the worst place i've ever been to. It is still very corrupt and mean.

  • look im american and i fully support russia, the americans who seem to comment on this video look at it VERY one sided. watch at 2:18 "it wasnt this bad with communism." people tried to change it to capitalism and look what has happened. plus look at america are we really doing any better? all the support in the world to you guys from at least ONE american

  • To my fellow Americans, shut up, please.

    To my foreign friends, Americans are actually really not as stupid as they sound.

  • STOP CAPITALISM

  • lol he threatened the camera crew that they'd be arrested.

  • @Maggot911 He asked if they have a permit, his wingman replied yes. And then he said if they don't we should call the police.

  • Someone here said Communism was an epic fail. I think you are not entirely correct. First off, the USSR WAS NOT A COMMUNIST SOCIETY. Second, what you see here in this video happened after the changes in the USSR. This situation is a result of capitalism and the reforms of the 90s, not communism.

  • Why does everyone point fingers at someone else? No one is to blame more than anyone else! WE* are all to blame.

    Instead, why not use our compassion for these and other people to UNITE us together.... Together, WE (* world entities) can do something about injustice all over the world!

    If I can help in some way, please let me know.

  • Vladivostock has such a beautiful setting - like San Francisco but better. Such a shame.

  • @Ferior If you would of been in Russia before it was robbed and sold to the jews, u would of seen everyone working hard, no-one is idle, happy people, etc. Remember that nothing happens just because, the collapse of Russia is because there are very evil people in this world that had always tried to take over the Russian lad.

  • @russianpride415

    Russia is fucked up because of Stalinist morons like you

  • I don't understand. Who are these Jews that have robbed? Name names if you please, or are you just falling to the tendency to pick a bad guy and categorize. We want to think in categories, but bad guys are just that, bad guys, greedy people.. I doubt that any particular religion or ethnicity has more than another.

  • How much have they seen the world? Are they lazy or not? They should revolt and make the system work again themselves. Corruptions? Crack them and overload the selfish officials.

  • Comment removed

  • @jmintube - To MY American friends....do not be angered by my fellow Canadian's betrayal...he has no idea of the gratitude and respect you deserve for keeping the western world free of oppression and communism.

  • @jmintube...an ignorant statement.... 

  • @jmintube - - To my American friends ... do not be angered by the comments of those denouncing you because of where you were born ... they may or may not be educated, but their comments DO have worth and are actually quite valuable ... why? ... because they show us how NOT to act ... they show us how important it is to move toward productive discussion and away from the generalizing of entire populations of people ... signed: your American friend

  • @gabeuop79 I hate Immoral Russia and I'm from Brazil.

  • I hate inmoral Russia?. Wow, who are you , jesus christ?. Russian people is the most suffering in the fucking history of this fucking planet. Respect that.

  • @bragunovskoie Russians are like communism: no morality and no love for each other.

    "If God is dead, let's do what the fuck we want." Dostoiveski was right, that's the spirit in Russia.

    In Russia, your life values the same of a fly.

  • That`s the vision of Ivan Karamazov, who was a nihilist. Dostoievski hate nihilist, but in the kaos of Russia, he said that with the mujik`s spirit Russia will control the spiritual world against materialists( burguois and commmunists) . The russian is far more spiritual than this "moral" of the west. who sold his soul for money . IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN AN "INMORAL RUSSIAN" AND A "CIVILIZED" WESTERN, WITHOUT DOUBTS I PICK THE RUSSIAN FOR SURE.

  • @Soulflytribe04 Besides, DOSTOIEVSKI LOVES RUSSIA. HE SAID THAT IT WAS THE SALVATION AGAINST THE SINS OF THE WESTERN. I THINK YOUR INTERPRETATION ABOUT HIS WORK IS A LITTLE LIMITED. THE RUSSIAN MAY KILL, THE RUSSIAN MAY STEAL, BUT THE RUSSIAN IS FAR MORE PURE THAN THE WESTERN. TRUE RUSSIAN IS NOT A COMMUNIST, ANOTHER INVENT FROM THE WEST. MARX HIMSELF SAID THAT RUSSIA WASN`T A PLACE TO IMPLEMENT COMMUNISM, BECAUSE THE RUSSIAN IS A BELIEVER, .
