Uh-oh. Now he is going to be indicted and jailed in solitary confinement as an insurrectionist.
There are numerous youtube videos about life in Russia.
My personal reqmt for such things is that the video must not be from a channel that started after 2022. It must predate that. Many do. It’s how you dodge propaganda.

This guy is Australian. Well outside the city.
He quotes numbers of rubles and then dollar equivalent and this is entirely bogus. Foreign Exchange trading takes place in countries hostile to Russia so there is zero reason to think that trading is not corrupted. This is why quoting rubles and then dollar equivalents is not valid.
The correct quote is Rubles per calorie or Rubles per joule or monthly rent AFTER ALL SUBSIDIES, not before them, compared to Rubles earned.
Look around. People own cars. They have nice coats on to be warm. There is plenty of food, which would not be on shelves if it was not being bought.
Russian life is not horrible. Measure it properly and you learn why the US astronauts had to use Russian launch vehicles to reach the ISS for 10 years.
