Shortest interview ever.
Nice – hopefully you got enough material for 5-6 videos from this interview!
Not what I expected, but good luck to Mr. Freeman.
Another Stalin worshipper? Good riddance!
Thank you.
How much money would you recommend to save up for a vacation in Russia? How much money would you recommend to move to Russia?
Lol.. I'm a 60 father to a beautiful Russian Baby.. We don't want him raised here.
I'm curious about moving to Russia.
Thanks for sharing your experiences in Russia, my family and I are also looking into moving to Russia as well for the same reasons.
3:29 Why did the video skip ahead after Hal Freeman mentioned his growing dislike for cultural trends in America? I would like to have heard what he meant by that. Still a great video, though! 👍
I plan to watch the other Hal videos, read his blog too. Im an expat who has lived in Russia for 20yrs. I would have stayed there, but US family issues came in the way. There are some 15,000 U.S. expats in Russia, majority in megalopolis. Quite a few in the regions like Hal. Some have accepted Orthodoxy too. As America becomes a socialistic (maybe eventually communistic) society, Russia is converting to a Conservative, Christian society. Times have changed. Liberals have become alt-left left, and America is under complete control of them, as I type this June 2020.
God’s will
Why is it difficult to answer why you moved to Russia?… your reasons should be very simple to convey.. I always view people who cant explain their reasons to move to a particular place as dishonest..
Feckin' commie!
I so hear you about the cultural thing. I love how conservative Russian culture is. The damn liberals messed everything up here.
It is not you who are thinking about moving to Russia, it is Russia who is thinking of letting you in or not (¬‿¬)

People you are crazy! Don't know why are you crazy because of your religion or you have some mental desease. Russia is the worst country without any freedom of speech, actions, Russian don't have basic hjman rights. Russia is turning very fast into North Corea. Putin is killing oppositioners, btrutaluty of policemen is growing, children get sold for organs. Russian authorities doesn't give a damn about ecological situation, especially in Saint Petersburg. Sometimes I can't open windows because of the polution of the air. Russian salaries are just so low. Russian professors at universitites are paid poorly, the Russian medicine is awfull. I think there will be a revolution somewhere in 2021-2024. And Putin will kill Russian people like Lukashenko killed people of Belarus.
Interesting. America is in decline, it seems. So, this is timely…
