No Country For Old Men - Russia

June 2008
In the depths of Siberia, amongst the ruins of a former Soviet military base lives a hidden community. Although hundreds of kilometres from civilization, people are volunteering to come and live here.

Eniseisk 15 was once a secret radar site that detected missiles launched from space but was dismantled after an arms agreement with America. Now it is being used to house disabled people long with elderly people who volunteer to receive free housing here from the state. Conditions are difficult though, with no employment opportunities for the young and no medical care for the elderly. Yet compared to surrounding villages "the housing here is comfortable. You don't have to chop wood, you don't need to heat the stove and the toilet is inside the flat," explains the local councilor. Maybe that explains the increase of people wanting to move to this desolate, remote village in Siberia.

You fight for your country and the the fuck you get in exchange? shit.

poor people; where i live kids moan if their parents dont buy them 100+$ gifts for xmas, fuck sake.

This was a very interesting program. The truth is, though, that every country has some problem with poverty. The only issue I would say is that they might not have access to adequate medical care, since they have no way to travel due to lack of money. Aside from that, the apartments don't really look so bad to me. Even the little wooden homes don't look so bad, and I'd guess people get used to the cold.... The main thing is that the elderly shouldn't have to live alone.

@silenthunder85 We WILL see total chaos, I agree, and the New World Order will end (and you will be out of a job), but I'm not concerned with some cannibalistic nigger coming to eat me- I can easily shoot him and bury him in my basement. I'm more concerned with people like YOU rounding up your political enemies and my disappearing into some government gulag.

@TomDavid88 oh ok, now i get your angle... you're one of those fucking conspiracy loons who think there is a new world order & jews run everything & blah blah.. dude what a fag. seriously; if anything, the world is on the brink of total collapse and anarchy. we will see it in our lifetime- WROL <look it up. there is no new world order; your biggest problem is going to be the criminals on the loose who will kill you after they rob you dry & rape you. no one cares for you or your neo-nazi channel.

@silenthunder85 You are not "serving" your country, but only helping to further desroty it with costly illegal wars for the Globalists that never end. You are getting a pay check and medals for destroying anyone and anything that apposes the New World Order's plan to make the world into one giant shopping mall, and you are too stupid to see that. But everyone knows that in America, the only people who join the army are the ones too stupid to get a real job.

@silenthunder85 As a soldier of the New World Order, you are one of the most despised people on the face of the earth right now, especially by most Russians. They think of you as a "stupid animal" just like one of your previous Jewish masters, Henry Kissenger, said you are. And you will never get the chance to fight alongside them, as your New World Order leaders have declared the Russians an enemy for not going along with their plans to conquor the world.

@TomDavid88 oh yeah and as another youtuber pointed out-- no one cares who you are or where you're from; so go ahead & sign your comments like a retard. you are a nobody; a worker bee who will be forgotten by everyone in 100 years.. I am at least serving my country & helping others in the world, and have recieved awards from generals & the Secretary of the Army. You are a moron, but I'd still fight & die to keep your ass safe from those who would fly a plane into your office.. you're welcome.

[silenthunder85]

@TomDavid88 im not ex-army; I am CURRENT army.. and i like handing out beatdowns too. you run your mouth without thought and its hilarious. its a good thing they got rid of the draft because its impossible to serve alongside idiots like yourself-- i'd rather trust a Russian with my life; they are a proud people who know more about sacrifice & service than you ever will... to include both of the old women in this video; at least they served. and it was a radar base, not a paradise...

[TomDavid88]

@silenthunder85 No< YOU are the one who personifies the "typical ugly American" as you are the ex-army man, who likes videos games and beer. And this video is just one more example of the "Soviet Paradise" that the Russians created for themselves after they "won" the War.
