How Has Russia Changed in 2022? | Easy Russian 59

Hello, dear friends, and welcome to a new episode of Easy Russian. The end of the year is approaching, and it's always a special time when we think about what happened over the past year. 2022 was, to put it mildly, very difficult. My brave colleague from the 1420 team decided to ask Moscow passers-by how, in their opinion, Russia has changed in 2022. Let's see. I don't know how people's lives have changed in 2022. In 2022? What changes? Me personally? Or in general? About anything, you can say. You can say about global things, you can say about your life. Everything has changed globally, everything has changed, in my life and in the life of society. You know, I hope everything will be fine. It's hard to change, not for the better. You know why. Because of conspiracy. Maybe, yes. Of course, a lot of people have changed, a lot of people have left. Unfortunately, a lot of friends have left and are going to leave. We live less friendly with everyone. Everyone lives less friendly with everyone. That's why it became sadder. As for Russia, this is a limitation of freedom. Freedom of speech, political games, the destruction of the opposition, the pressure on the male population, so to speak. The young male population, which has left the country. By the way, there are a lot of initiative people who have left. Russian people have scattered. They have defended themselves, their families. Well, at the moment, the situation that is happening, all the events, they are a little... The stability that was promised to our president, for which everyone... I also voted for him in 2017. I was not particularly interested in politics, I was interested in stability. Everything is fine, everything is peaceful and good. But this stability is lost. And there is not much confidence in society now. And this is the biggest problem in our country. Well, listen, besides the fact that everyone has gone crazy, I don't think anything else has changed. How do you evaluate these changes? For the better or for the worse? There is something good, there is something bad. In principle, of course, more for the better, because people are dying. In a social sense, there are some improvements. That is, they are starting to do something. Finally, they want to depend less on the West. At least in words. What will come of it in the end. If, of course, it will be so in the end, then it will be cool. This is only for. But, of course, so far, the price is very high. Changes, only in the worse direction, from year to year. In fact, well, raise the price. Harsh conditions, taxes, raise the housing price. Some innovations from the government to tighten the nuts and bolts for ordinary people. It has changed well. Everything is going well for us, medicine is developing. They do a lot for young families. They pay children's subsidies for the birth of children. They help the pensioners. Everything is fine. I felt the pension reform. So it was 60, now 63. I think it is unfair, unfair, three years for what, for us, the pensioners. But Vladimir Vladimirovich promised that he would not raise the price. No, he promised, but he raised it. As a result, now I am 62. And if I were 60, I would already get a pension. And so it turns out two years. Legs are sick, hands are sick, no one takes me to work. No one needs me. As I come, everyone says goodbye. But it's just not beautiful. The prices have risen, of course. Well, that's life. Everything is done for the good of people. Stable. There are no political changes. Prices have risen a little, of course, in the store, but this is inflation. Well, for example, I don't like this pandemic. Then the prices have risen. Then there are some rules against the people. I don't know. Somehow it used to be easier. Whatever your own impressions are from 2022, I personally find my satisfaction in doing something pleasant and useful. For example, learning foreign languages. If you learn Russian, then you will definitely be interested in the special exercises that we prepare for each new issue.

This is probably the most wonderful thing. How do you rate this? Is this a positive change? Of course, positive. Emotionally positive. Oh, I'm sorry, I have a tragedy. I won't upset anyone, so I'm sorry. It has changed great. Nothing has changed in my life. Everything remained as it was. I get what I get. I spend money on food. In 2022, my health deteriorated a lot. I'm not young anymore. It has changed more because of COVID. There were problems because I worked as a cook. Everything was closed. No one wanted to pay money. I had to look for something else. In general, I changed my profession. I don't regret it. It was difficult to find a job. It was familiar. This is the fourth city where I work. I don't want to swear. Prices have risen. A month ago, a loaf of bread cost 2-4 rubles. Now it has risen. I'm a driver. Gas prices have risen. Salaries are not paid. I don't know what to do next. It's absurd. The war brought grief and suffering to many families. They are not sure about their future. Some of my friends have left. Some have left. Don't you think that it can affect you? I don't have time to study. I have protection. Isn't it so illusory? No one was taken from my university. None of my friends were taken from my university. It is what it is. Nothing new has happened? No. I only worry about Ukraine. Nothing else. I want peace on earth. I fully agree with this woman. What was your personal year of 2022 like? How will you remember it?
