Street Children in St. Petersburg, Russia - VOTC

[chimak3d]

Russian communist poisoned many nations, that s what they deserve.

[capnhands]

thank the communist fucks who ruined that country

[studonator]

Start by putting the parents in the sewer and the kids in the home.

[HongKongKanto]

these times are completely over even 3 years ago just look at the video quality it looks so 90s, Russia in its 20 years made a whole development from a developed country to a third world country than to a developed country again, in this year when Russia gets over 13000 per capita nominal its gonna be counted as developed country by the world bank along all other western countries.

[DanielR305]

why shame on europe what about shame on the russian gov.! Europe gov's can only help limited number of kids govs worldwide yet russian gov. do nothing to help these street kids in anyway or form the uk as many other countries help too but its time russian gov spent less on space project and on nuclear warheads and military transport and more on its people in my opinion. But I must say I applaud this alex guy helping street kids though if anyone deserves a medal its is alex

[RainbowDefender]

A society can be judged by the way they treat their children. Russia has a long way to go. What I fond so hard to believe is why in America so many fight so hard to keep gays from having children but yet so many children need good homes. It's beyond said that so many are so full of hate that they will deny a Kid a good home, and loving adults the right to guide a child on their true path to goodness. Really what is the argument? Sure some people are monsters, no doubt about that. These kids are

[Dishfarm]

What always amazes me is how much help ANY person could give to children in Russia. In America you could never get near homeless or endangered children without the threat of being thrown in jail or being accused of being a pedophile.

[Varcalox]

@HahaItsAlice

so you blaim everything on the government? why not blaim God?

its their own choice, if they want, they can get a job..

but no, they use drug and drag themselfes deeper into the shit.

[joke719]

i llok at these videos and i say to myself: what the f**K am i doing here, i'm a greedy bastard who takes everything for granted and lives like a pig in a big canadian house full of food, and eentertainement, what's wrong with this world, all countries should work together to fix suxh problems, the environment can wait. i wish i could help, but then again i'ma powerless 14 year-old.

[anssyl]

Man this is to sad to wassh !!!!

[reneemagray]

How can we adopt a child. Alex can you help us. we have adopted already, but we would lke to help in any way we can. Can you help us help a child.

thank you

[TheFelixMang]

The person of a wind of changes............

[morchie717]

@karma i agree with you i mean i know there are animals suffering as well but what about our own people. human beings why arent we helping each other out as well?

[Ura293]

I don't blame children - I blame authore of this video for misleading public - I got official responce from Raechel - the woman who give interview here (I wrote her) where she explains in details that they work actually on invitation of Russian authorities and that kids graduated from Russian orphanage are entitled (and get) free of charge appartment from Russian state at the age of 18 etc... - but here on video impression is made that Rusians do not care...and she says orphaneges are normal

[Ura293]

the truth is that the statement that those kids are "ignored" and "avoided" - is lies...The fact is that those kids do not want tolive in ophenages and sometimes in their own families - if any of those kids would just come to ANY police station and say - I am homeless - he would be SAME DAY provided with shelter in ophenage, but those kids don'r want to live in ophenages because it is prohoboted to smoke there, to use drugs and drink alcohol -that's why they ran away to the streets.

[mrkv39]

@Ura293 you got it all backwards. these kids smoke and do drugs because they were abused and abandoned not the other way around! you know how much abuse goes on in many orphanages??? how older kids torture younger ones? how many sadists work as care-givers? or just plain neglect? Kids need love and attention, when it is lacking and especially when they are abused, they run away and turn to drugs. Don't blame the children.

[mayabelldotcom]

I no longer trust anybody that offers to help. He flies planes. Probably a drug runner trying to recruite new workers.

[hazellina07]

@mayabelldotcom there are always that good ones in between all those bad ones

[rimtik]

what the fuck r u talkin? USSR n shit? fuck you idiots east always struggled, USSR was never awesome u fuckin sick idiots go to east n c how its like,n the reason why its like that is USSR. makes me sick ppl talkin shit FUCK YOU. God help the Eastern Europe

[mayabelldotcom]

the same problem in USA, only they can't run away from the evil social services government that drug them and experiment on them.

[narrator89]

4:30 is fucked up. What the fuck is Putin doing? Oil prices are high, the Russian state is getting huge amount of money flushing in, while the people isn't getting shit.

[mayabelldotcom]

Trust me Putin giving enough money to help these children. So does USA government, but most of the contractors are mafia organized criminals and pharmaceuticals financed cash bribes. As a result, in USA 2 thirds of the children under government care are forced to take a cocktail of dangerous psychiatric medication that burns their brain and will keep them invalid and under government care all their lives. And the same in Russia. Also experimenting on the children with new drugs etc.

[vik4a1]

In USSR this never would happen!!!

[lovetogokiev]

@vik4a1

what?? what fucking drug are you on, anyway?

this IS happening all over the USSR.

[vik4a1]

Err..Dude USSR Collapsed since 1991, Now its Russian federation, one country...

[Slaviccommie]

You should know that USSR (CCCP) doesn't exist anymore.

[lovetogokiev]

@Slaviccommie

I know it. Forgot it wasn't called that anymore.

Why do you have a pic of that murderer Stalin on your wall? Are you ignorant of history? He was another Hitler....do you idolize him too?

Grow up.

[ljah437]

You do such a great work! They realy need people that cares about them, and know the love of Jesus.

God bless ye ;-)

[ruudjuh16]

the ussr was awesome now russia is capitalistic everything was going down now its getting up but not for these childeren

[deltagirl]

Bless you for showing the children God's love. Regards from Denmark :)

[GDR352]

Of course we Americans will be blamed now for the plight of the homeless in Russia. We get blamed for every ill in the world. The fact is that the former Soviet Union collapsed of its own dead weight. It was never anything but a corrupt kleptocracy run by tyrants and crooks, from the days of Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Bresznev and down the line to Yeltsin. Putin was not much better. The Communist experiment was a social failure and the people are now reaping the "rewards" of 75 years of it.

[deltagirl]

And so are the Americans. Why don't you Americans just mind your own business? Your government is corrupt and your politics are filthy and rotten. Your people are suppressed by your state. You dont even have anything near democracy still you are trying to school the rest of the world.

[lovetogokiev]

@deltagirl

are you out of your fucking mind?

[deltagirl]

You all live in an ignorant society, filled with capitalistic waist; Eat, eat, eat! Buy, buy, buy.. Then making more war, to pay your waist & ensure your power. Americans killed Indians, Americans killed, tortured and raped in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq and so on, and so on  Americans are terrorizing the whole world, by creating an unreal threat, that is how they took the power from the Russians, and thats how the Americans are suppressing the whole world.

[deltagirl]

Yes the Soviet Union wasnt the best place in the world. But you Americans managed to scare the whole world, manipulating people into believing a big lie; that Russia was the most rotten place on earth, just because you were afraid of not winning the imperialistic crown.

[deltagirl]

And look at yourself now, you couldnt be half as good, great or smart as the Russians were at that time, (And Russians still are) Least Russians do have a small amount of Moral. Small but still the moral is present, while you Americans DON'T have any moral at all.

[deltagirl]

The whole world is not blaming you for the entire plight you created and still are creating on earth. But the world is done with crying and suffering under your manipulating lies. -They are not just laughing at you Americans, but feeling sorry for you... Never have I seen and met a more horrifying and stupid society then yours, in a hundred years you descendants will hopefully look back at you in great shame.

[hunelvtars]

THIS IS THE CAPITALISM

[ReDDDgo]

It not fake. They are children of democracy of an epoch of Yeltsin which very much was pleasant to Americans. Such phenomenon was absent at the time of the USSR and has appeared in 90th years. I have a suspicion that people who removed this video, do not have interest about destiny of children. Them interest - shots which well are on sale to the people creating an image of Russia. Such children are both in the USA and in Europe and in Africa etc. Less words and hypocrisy and more real action...

[Pys3n]

wow Alex is probably a molester -.-

[JohnAppers]

May God bless Alex, his life, his family and his work.

This is a work of love.

Peace of the Lord.

[heaheaheaa]

is this fake or real?

[Hravn]

This is very much real

[MarkTututuba]

I didn't know that there were cosplayers in russia.

[michmich958]

btw what the name of the song in the start??

[MonicaBauch]

THOMAS NEWMAN - ANY OTHER NAME (from movie American Beauty)

[michmich958]

this is my city. and this is the result of CAPITALISM. during soviet no-one lived like this.

[chekist1917]

You are full of shit asshole. Plus people lived dumbed down in poverty. You don't see "REMONT" signs anymore, either.

[killaweed51]

i was born in st. petersburg,the video is really sad...

peace

[letufi]

thanks for the post and for your job and corcenn-

I didn't now this was hapening-

In Argentina we also have children in the streets...It's sad

[Isochest]

The root of the problem is in personality disorder. We all need to lead here.

[Angelparisjordan]

and you think these parents suffer from peer pressure to give up their kids - eh??

[Isochest]

People smoke, vote for tyrants, wear platform shoes: They copy role models good or bad. They need good role models. The term "Social Proof" comes to mind.

[gaeilgeseomra]

We only hear one story living in the west

[blidamuslim]

From Algeria we send you our best greetings and encouragements. May Allah bless you!

[cripticmanifest]

Shame on Europe. We all know what is hapening in Russia with the children and we do NOTHING. Shame on us

[hazellina07]

@cripticmanifest i believe we all play a part too

[dyst0pie]

@cripticmanifest lol its not only russia

[karmamonade]

I have watched "Animal Planet". Imagine, dogs, cats and rabbits have their own care organizations. They`re picked up, pampered, get treated and get surgery. Free of charge, of course. They are being fed and cared for, loved and relocated into a more beneficial environment. That is commendable and should be supported. Even Hitler loved animals! But human beings? Something wrong here?

[Holso5]

You make a great point!

[Isochest]

I saw a vid of Hitler with his pet Alsatian and the poor dog was crapping himself. Shows animals can spot real dangerous nutters!

[hazellina07]

@karmamonade i cannot agree with u more..these kids are the future..more needs to be done

[Mameychi]

a SHORT video?!

[TalithaKoumi3]

Everyone's giving this man such a hard time for ministering to the street children in Jesus's name. But don't you see that he IS NOT a hypocrite because he accompanies his ministry with humanitarian works? He feeds poor and clothes the needy and provides a place to stay for these children. These are things Christ commanded us to do and he is no hypocrite. I don't see any of you giving your life's time and finances to helping those without a penny. God bless you!

[Kbabykgirlk]

Freezin winter!Sleap in a basement of the buildin!Itz not that cold if u sleap with ur franz n puppys together!But it still better sleap in ur own bad!Alcohol the worst

[Kynos1]

Fucking Vodka causes so much misery...

[eristderbeste]

@stedfi83 youre 100 prozent right!! respect!!!

[stevieu83]

This world is so utterly messed up. Man-made society - it's all about money and greed and hierarchies. No human should suffer from poverty, when TRILLIONS are spent on warfare and nuclear weapons. Priorities are all so wrong.

Those kids need LOVE - religion doesn't need to come into it. These problems stem from old behaviours and religion is a product of society. If the human species could learn to live as ONE (we are one species), maybe then we'd have a brighter future.

~ We are ONE planet. ~

[stevieu83]

I say that no human should ever have to suffer from poverty & I receive negative feedback. Was it because I mentioned religion (the catalyst for human conflict)? Well, I guess that says it all.

Show them love & compassion, help remove them from those awful conditions, but why preach one of many contradicting religions? It's the last thing they need, surely? Religion isn't needed to show love & compassion.

Does nobody see the BIGGER picture? ;( Sigh.

Peace.

'We all look up at the same stars'

[stevieu83]

I must also add that I am totally thankful that these children are receiving some kind of help, but it goes much deeper than this. One must look at why these kids are living in such dire circumstances in the first place and why it continues.

If this species saw beyond religion & all its contradictions & looked at the bigger picture - we are all human - we are one planet. Maybe then, we would all learn to appreciate this life much more & prevent the atrocities that take place on this Earth.

[EnigmaNZ1]

Then get out their and help, instead of slagging off those that do.

[stevieu83]

If you think I'm 'slagging them off', then I'm sorry you missed my point.

I'm expressing my opinion that I don't think these children need to be preached one of many conflicting religions, considering the human race is partly in such an awful mess because of all these conflicting religions in the first place.

I've donated to charities and work on a daily basis caring for those less fortunate, if that stands for anything.

I do wish things could be different.

Peace.

[Isochest]

Personality disorder/abnormal psychology is the root of the problem.

[mrkv39]

what on earth are you talking about??? abnormal psychology in children of adults who abandon children?

[Isochest]

So many people are selfish: Selfishness and an absence of being able to feel for others are the root of this. Psychopaths and Narcissists are here in the west, too. When a society falls apart these people feed more than ever.

[mrkv39]

really? isochest.. i would say its substance abuse and underfunded state orphanage system...

[Isochest]

Not in the children! In the Government, the politicians, society etc. I don't say this lightly, but selfish adults are the root of all these problems. Yes, I agree: Drugs and Underfunded child support/social services. Also peer pressure in many countries of dumping their children on the state. I speak as a father of six children, three of whom have autism an one of these has Down's syndrome, too. All are at home where they belong, but I do not want to preach.

[Angelparisjordan]

what are you talking about these disorders have no corellation to abondoning kids. no research or an psychological research makes any such link. you are misguided and i don't even know if you understand what you are saying..

[Isochest]

The only "stars" most look at are those egocentric ones in glossy mags & the "wannabees" on "reality TV". Religion is abused by the pathological as a means of controlling others. It's amazing how many other people want to control us in some way or other.

[Isochest]

Spot on.

[Briancarterbcbcbc1]

Its not right how they taught them religion, that man did it not jesus, more people have died for religion than anything else.

[EnigmaNZ1]

Man was warring before religion, and if there was no religion, man would be warring about something else. Wars are about differences, or about wants. I try and force my views on you, or I try and take what you have. WW1 wasn't about religion, neither was WW2, the Korean war or Vietnam. I wish it wasn't so, but man seems to have a need to settle differences through aggression, from the moment he can mve independently.

[Chrizzih93]

poor children :'(

[CircleOfSignfighters]

This is heartbreaking.

[gotdatrussianpride]

Whats a name of the song its by Vivaldi ?

[gotdatrussianpride]

Most of them choose to be this way .

[Hravn]

But not most of people like you choose to be so stupid.

[Holso5]

actually, so DO choose it but they are a minority. Most have parents who drink and beat them (pyut i byut) and others ran away from orphanages because conditions there are horrible.

[FreeIndividua]

Its ok video but translation is terrible.

Poor children...

[hudis78]

uhh okay, and what if it's not true? seriously

and don't say it's only christians who want them off the street - everyone does. it's just that A LOT of the world's population is christian, so it's a bigger majority so it's very likely that those helping out are christian. and that rachel lady who works with the street kids in vladovostok is jewish. so....

[Stardom1942]

Maybe, they are telling them about Jesus because it's true. He loves them and so should we and what ever we do for the least of these we do to him. Christianity didn't get them on the streets but Christians want to get them off the street.

[truthspeaker2000]

"Why do everyone think of that."

Because it´s strange to take advantage

of the childrens state of emergency, by

indoctrinating them.

I mean if you want to help, than help.

That´s great, but why involve your

personal believes and make them believe

what you want them to belive ?

That´s pretty offensive.

[Hravn]

I cant believe the words im reading. So you rather having them die of cold and starvation then getting this kind of help?!? The children choose if they want to be helped by this people, they know that these people preach the "words of god". They dont have to get this help. They can die instead. Im not personally a christian for the record.

[truthspeaker2000]

"I cant believe the words im reading. So you rather having them die of cold and starvation then getting this kind of help?!?"

Did I write that ?

I said if you want to follow the christian grace of charity, than do it, nothing against to say, but plz. do it without taking advantage of the childrens misery.  Because this is affectation and a kind of abuse.

[survivedall]

It's not abuse, it's showing them that someone cares...it's giving them a reason to live, to hope, even in their desperate situation...it's not taking advantage of them, or abusing them, it's giving them something more than food and clothing...it gives them hope

[louisianasuks]

UR EXACTLY RIGHT good job someone finally understands

[truthspeaker2000]

Why do they try to influence them with

this Jesus stuff ?

I guess, it is nor really fair to inoculate

helpless children with ideological and religious stuff like this.

[Hravn]

Why do everyone think of that. The main thing is that they get clothes and food so they dont die. So what if they are learning to believe in god, they give them something to believe in. Something so they dont feel alone. Something to cling to! My oh my, how ignorant people are.

[survivedall]

Even if you do not believe in a god, it is good for them to believe...to have some reason to get up every day, to have hope. I believe in God because I need something to believe in. And if it helps those children to have hope, to have someone to confide in, to talk to, when no one else will, well, then that is great, whether you personally believe in a god or not.

[sjkladfasdfjkl]

i DO ANYTHING to change my life with them!

[Hravn]

You can send clothes. Just contact the man how made this video. I did that, and now im in the progress of sending a big load of clothes.

[Bambolina07]

Deathowl1990 - U r CRAZY!!!

[borzail13]

Deathowl1990 now your not normal you are CRAZY !!!!! I´m a Chechen and most chechens hate russians i hate them 2 but only the fucking soldiers and Putin but when children are suffering my hart is craing.

[Hravn]

I.....I hate to see children suffer. Im now working on sending a coontainer with clothes ect to a hospital for homeless children with canser and no family. Do somethin u to!

[Deathowl1990]

this has not made me sad.

I rather like pain and hate and sadness

dont judge me, i dont know why but i just love the idea of death, suffering and agony

am i normal?

my answer would be yes.

now: those children are a sore to the community, so the best option would be to blend them in with the wealthier or kill them off slowly. i like #2 but #1 would be your choice....

[zhuriyuk2]

Dude, you're sick and you need some help. Yikes, sin is just dripping off of you. I know Someone Who can help you. And who knows? He might just make you live on the streets with absolutely nothing, in the freezing cold, hungry and alone, if that's what it will take to break you so you can seek Him out.

[princess102100]

:( so sad

[Wo1ff]

Yes, that is Russia, I'm so glad that never happened to me, I never lived with my parents, but good thing is that my grandmother took care of me for 10 years.

[dygydfgsdfg]

I am Russian (though i live in Germany now) and it makes me so damn sad too watch this... For me Russia always was (and is and will be) a wonderful country with realy great people and an amazing charm ... So hard too see this side of it :(( Of course I realize that it exists, I feel realy sorry for these kids and hope strongly that one day Putin or whoever will manage to help them. A little bit has already been done in the last years.

Can't say anything more now.

Sorry.

[scissorsSisters]

best video on youtube

[CASBwrite]

This really chokes me up. While I write this, our daughter (adopted from Piter--St. Petersburg-- three months ago), sleeps upstairs in her own warm bed. It broke my heart that we could not bring more children home. But the process is so long and difficult. Not for the faint of heart. I pray for help for all the children without families.

[zarplata2]

good video and only God can help.

[redash2006]

good video

[ButterflyMom777]

thank you for posting this video. This will bear fruit for eternity.

[debmomof5]

This is a sad view of what street children go through in Russia. We adopted 2 older kids from Russia and are now working to get more people aware of the plight of these kids and not to be afraid of adoption.

[glossipgurl]

people should consider to adopt children. Because if they dont: Those children will remain on the streets using drugs and prostituting themself ...

[glossipgurl]

people should consider to adopt more. Because if they dont those kids will leave on the street ...

[glassonamme]

i think it is great what you are doin, i was adopted when i was 3 years old from razyn.one day i will go back there where i will meet my family hopefuly and get my little brother out of his misfortune!

thanks this vid gave me a better understanding.

[oniz666]

yeah man very sad iam from ukraine and i saw poor kids they all sniff glue and smoke and sdrikn i mean this is horrible and one guy told me that he sniffs glue to forget about the hunger

[pogo14022002]

I had a bad day yesterday , really busy and fucked up , aww poor me , then a think of all these poor kids , kids that have nothing and theres me moaning about stuff that really isnt important
