All foreigners in Russia
    Currently in Russia

    Thomasovitch

    A Frenchman in his twenties who left for Russia and now files short, fast videos from wherever he is: Kazan, Irkutsk, a Moscow petrol station, a comparison of moving to Russia versus Belarus, the reasons he says he will not move back to France.

    The tone is young and blunt, and the coverage is wide — he goes to cities French audiences have never seen on video, which is exactly what makes him worth a look.

    What this channel shows better than anyone

    • Regional cities in short form: Kazan, Irkutsk, Siberia, on a small budget.
    • Fuel, transport and small everyday prices, filmed as he goes.
    • The comparison Russia vs Belarus, which French-language viewers ask about constantly.

    Five videos to start with

    Plays here, on their channel's terms — nothing loads until you click.

    Kazan : la ville de Russie qui surprend tout le monde

    Kazan is the strongest argument that Russia is not one culture.

    Irkoutsk : à quoi ressemble la vie en Sibérie

    Siberia in French, which barely exists as a genre.

    S'expatrier au Belarus ou en Russie : que choisir ?

    A genuinely useful comparison nobody else makes on camera.

    Pourquoi je ne reviendrai JAMAIS vivre en France

    His motivation, stated plainly — read it as a personal position, not data.

    A second opinion

    Where we would add a number or a correction — not a complaint.

    Short-form videos make a city look like a verdict.

    A forty-second clip of a petrol station or a market is a snapshot of one day and one district. His own longer videos are the better guide; the shorts are a hook.
