I left Russia 2 years ago - first I moved to Georgia, and now I live in Lisbon, Portugal. In today's video I decided to take you guys walking in Lisbon and answer all of your questions in this RUSSIAN Q&A! In this video I'll be talking about leaving Russia and my new life in Portugal. We'll talk about if Portuguese sounds like Russian, about my Slavic encounters in Lisbon and the status of my immigration. We'll also talk traveling in Europe, if I feel any Russophobia in the West and more. I hope you enjoy this tour around Lisbon and subscribe for more videos! thx xoxo

    12:16 Hello, Roman! I have a suggestion for your allergies. I am also an immigrant. I am a Brazilian guy that moved to the US 30 years ago. When you move to another country, you get exposed to pollen you were never exposed to in your country of origin. One natural way of coping with this problem is to put locally-made honey in your tea. It has to be local honey made with pollen from local plants. This will increase your tolerance to local pollen and, hopefully, help you to adapt to the new environment. This hypersensitivity to pollen is something that has happened to several of my immigrant friends and, consuming locally sourced honey, has helped them.

    You're not allergic. The Beauty of Portugal is simply bringing you to tears

    I am just a random Russian stuck in Japan with absolutely same depression as you and watching your videos is just like a therapy for me too. So keep going, be yourself. I do enjoy your editing, your story and your thoughts on the shit that happened to me too.

    "Being fine takes time" That's actually pretty deep

    Gained weight, depressed, confused, and lack of ambition. That is like going through winter in Canada. Spring eventually comes and everything sorts itself out. Roman has just survived his winter but can now see the arrival of spring.

    When you say that you feel like you “aren’t putting in much effort” and feel imposter syndrome it hit me. The reason i love your videos so much is because they aren’t super over produced and over edited. It’s more real and chill, and we need more of that these days. Been watching since 2016, keep it up Roman!
  • @SplendidFellow
    Don't be so hard on yourself Roman! Your videos are all interesting, it's great to hear your perspective on everything. You look good, you're cool, and you're a good person! Wishing you the best from USA.

    I also gained 13kg the year after the war started and I moved from Russia to Finland... I feel you bro. Now, two years later, I'm finally getting into a workout routine and down 5kg. It's tough to re-build a healthy lifestyle when you have a whole new life in a new country with new food and stress and everything. We can do it though 💪

    And please remember: 1) When your passport exspires your residence permit exspires as well. 2) As a Russian you can obtain a second "foreign" passport to make sure to retain your residence permit as long as possible. 3) Belarus has already introduced the rule that you have to travel back to Belarus to get a new passport and Russia might introduce this law as well.
  • I'm an old lady from Canada, not your typical demographic, but I've been following you on your journey. You're not fat, you're sad. It's very hard thing to do to leave everything you know and start a new life in a strange place. You're very brave to have left Russia. I can't tell you what to do, but I can say that your message is reaching people far and wide. I enjoy your content, and I think you're a very nice young man. If I think that, and can see that, others do too. It takes about a year to feel a sense of normalcy when you make a move like this, this I know personally. You're safe and you're going to be Ok. ❤

    I'm an American living in Portugal with a Portuguese residential visa in my US passport. I'm learning to speak Portuguese. Anyway, I understand. 40 percent of Americans haven't ever left the US and 11 percent have never left the state they were born in. It's a big country, so it's very difficult for those who don't travel to understand all the things involved. But I can criticize my country and the political leadership without having to worry about my documents being renewed. At least not yet.

    "I've changed so many lives so I gotta change my own" is such a hard quote
  • @FalconsEye58094
    The way you explored all different parts of Georgia that were really cool like the mountains and the countryside, it would also be great to see similar things around Portugal for the time being
  • @MrShidimaOne
    As a Dutch person I can confirm, riding a bike makes you feel good :D
  • @queenpoppy5189
    I enjoy hearing how you are and I appreciate seeing the different places that you show. You're likeable Roman, that's why people watch. Don't overthink it. Just be you! ❤

    Portuguese here. We have similar rythms and sounds but it's a coincidence. I did an internship in Poland and we had fun realizing that the words and meaning behind them sound like total gibberish to both sides. Also, I suggest you search about the Nacional 2 (N2) road. It goes from the north to the south of the country and is a great way of learning about the "real" country and diverse cultures in the different regions. Great content potential, honestly.
