Small channel telling stories from living in the USSR. His lived experience isn't negative enough for me to worry about him being a chud. He seems positive, although critical of the USSR. I haven't watched enough to know if his whole channel. is great There are just so many specific details he provides in his videos that feels like it would be really hard to fake.

    yeah it seems like he's mostly "telling it like it is", or at least that's how he sees it, but his perspective as someone who is Ukrainian, born in the 70s, and moved to the US, probably colors that perspective significantly. He seems to mostly stick to talking about the late soviet union from his own experience, not other eras or other regions, etc.

    I haven't heard anything that jumps out to me as egregious, but he doesn't have an especially rosy view of the USSR, and doesn't really contrast it with modern capitalist states that much in the videos I've seen,
