The third person interviewed, the guy with glasses and a backpack, looked extremely nervous and seemed to overall be very careful in considering what he says. I have a strong feeling the statements he made were not how he actually feels, but what he feels are safe to say to a camera.
He is also one of the younger people interviewed, which makes me wonder if such statements from others interviewed just have a more well practiced veneer on them, or if the others have built up significantly more apathy over the years.
The teacher at the end was probably the most forward. Which was a very welcome difference from the rest.
In one of his videos, Daniil (not the interviewer in this video but the interviewer who started this channel) spoke about how it was getting harder to find people who wanted to speak on camera and even when they did find someone they would often get in touch to ask about taking the video down. The inference was they probably got a visit or call from local police or some other pressure to not be on camera.
In comparison to some of Daniil’s later videos filled with folks repeating Russian media talking point (another reason Daniil gave up on street interviews) this video seems quite refreshing. Hope they are able to continue making more.
Video appears to be blocked in the UK? Rest of youtube loads fine but this video can neither be watched nor can I copy the video URL.
