Jonny Tickle mixes Moscow street vlogs with explainer videos. Topics include the metro expansion, the ruble, religion, speaking English in public, and what foreigners must not say under Russian law. His most useful work is practical: marketplaces, deliveries and digital services, the parts of Moscow consumer life that surprise Western visitors most.
Unusually for the genre, he argues both sides. The same channel carries "Why I Left the UK and Moved to Russia" and "Why Foreigners Should NOT Move to Russia (The Russia Trap)". There are also Q&As on sensitive subjects, including being gay in Russia in 2025.
