As an Englishman living in the Russian city of Kursk, I take you on a tour of an ordinary neighbourhood while discussing the realities of life here — both the good and the bad. We explore what daily life in provincial Russia is really like, from safety, infrastructure, housing, public spaces, shopping centres and local culture, to some of the challenges foreigners may face when relocating. I also discuss the misconceptions spread online by people who portray Russia as either a perfect paradise or an unlivable disaster. Life in the Russian provinces has never been better! -------------------------------------------- Inquiries: [email protected] -------------------------------------------- On the Ben the Brit channel you’ll find videos about life in Russia, travel in Russia, and Russian culture from the perspective of an Englishman 🇬🇧🇷🇺 I explore Russian cities like Kursk, Oryol, and other regions, documenting daily life, local traditions, and unique experiences such as Maslenitsa, Epiphany ice bathing, and Russian winter survival. From Soviet history and landmarks to food, street life, and real interactions with locals, these videos show what Russia is really like beyond stereotypes. I also share my personal journey of moving to Russia, living in the provinces, and comparing life in Russia vs the UK — with the goal of documenting every federal subject and telling the real story of this country. -------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 - Do I regret moving to Russia? 00:36 - Why do I want to show you this neighbourhood? 01:20 - Park in the name of F.E.
