@simonostrovsky: This clip, which went viral when someone put it on a long-dead app called coub back in 2014 or 2015, was actually the cold open to dispatch 14 from my Russian Roulette series about the occupation of Crimea and eastern Ukraine. For that video episode I went around Crimea asking people what country they thought they were in because there was some confusion after Russia had staged an illegal and unrepresentative referendum. I got a variety of answers but this one struck a chord with the internet when it was taken out of context. The revelers getting wasted by a garage just seemed so representative of the country they saw themselves a part of.

BigPoopAppreciator :

Yeah, Crimea and the Donbass are majority russian ethnicity. They wanted to join Russia, and russia was of course willing to support them in that. That's against the narrative right now though but it was not controversial 15 years ago

Почему не законный референдум ?

Captain Benxhiepint :

Is this the official Simon? If so I just want to seriously seriously thank you for your coverage in Russian Roulette. I’ve rewatched the entire series at least once a year since about halfway through the coverage. I’ve thought about trying to reach out to you multiple times just to get a retrospective from you. You and your crew went through an unbelievable civil/proxy war and still delivered unbiased reports, even after your checkpoint incident. You are someone I seriously want to shake the hand of, thank you sir. Ⓜ️
