Russia. In October of 2024, just before I was arrested and accused of being a spy, I entered the country through China's northern border. This was my 2nd time in Russia, and being that the 1st time had passed with no problems whatsoever, I was more than a bit naive. This time, I was entering Russia's Far East, a place where the police and FSB almost never see Westerners, and suspicion ran deep.
This video is my journey across both sides of the border: how Russia's influence affects the Chinese side, and what's it like to be in Russia, facing China on the other side.
It wouldn't take long after crossing the border to see the real Russia: I was immediately interrogated.
