Russia outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg is mostly poor, economically stagnant, and underdeveloped. Many rural areas still lack basic infrastructure, and alcohol abuse is rampant in some regions due to lack of opportunity and generational poverty. The wealth is concentrated in the cities, and the rest is largely neglected.
In the U.S., rural areas can also be economically depressed, but the overall standard of living is still higher than in rural Russia. Many rural Americans choose that lifestyle for lower costs and personal preference, but they often have more access to infrastructure, healthcare, and basic services compared to Russian villages, dumb fuck.

Russian villages vary greatly, from remote settlements in Siberia to historic towns in the Golden Ring, and some are part of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Russia" network. Some notable examples include Kinerma in Karelia, Yaroslavl, and Rostov-Veliky. Many villages were founded centuries ago and have preserved their traditional architecture and way of life. Examples of Russian Villages: Kinerma: An authentic Karelian village with a history dating back to the 15th century, officially recognized as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Russia". Yaroslavl: A city on the Volga River, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its historical architecture and cultural significance. Rostov-Veliky: One of the oldest towns in the Golden Ring, featuring stunning onion domes and historic churches. Suzdal: A medieval town with well-preserved Russian architecture and wooden dwellings, offering a glimpse into the past. Myshkin: A small town on the Volga River known for its Mouse Museum and preserved provincial spirit. Staraya Ladoga: A historical site with an open-air museum and archaeological research, once an important city in the northwestern part of Russia. Uglich: A town founded in 937, with unique monuments of Russian antiquity and a rich history. Kolomenskoye: An old town near Moscow, historically a residence of Russian princes and tsars, with a large meadow and historic buildings. Arkhangelsk: A city on the Dvina River, with a history dating back to the Vikings, known for its shipbuilding traditions. Vorzogory: Located on the shore of the White Sea, known for its shipbuilders who crafted wooden ships for the Solovetsky monastery. Norilsk: A remote town in Siberia, located within the Arctic Circle. Altai Region: Features stunning natural landscapes with mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes
That guy is a terrible faggot. No commentary worth listening to. Just complaining about his steadicam and losing his signal for like the 1st 7 minutes. I can’t watch 2 hours of this shit—even at double speed. He could probably trim at least 1:30:00 off of this shit.

It's the same in the USA.
Not everyone wants to live in a city and overspend.
