Interesting vids of people being interviewed in Russia

Its pretty clear that Russia, after a few years of relative openness, has now reverted to an authoritarian state, and that for the most part, as far as we can see, most of the populace goes along with it, for whatever reasons various people might surmise.

But that said, I find it interesting that even though there might be serious repercussions, or we might consider that there would be, these interviewers are usually able to find people (usually, but not always younger, though that is the general rule) willing to criticize, sometimes quite plainly, the state. I find that inspiring. Because that takes a certain amount of guts. Also goes against the general perception of mass conformity.

Here's an example - a variation of opinion, including some conformity, but also some defiance :
