“There’s no graffiti. There’s no filth. There are no foul smells. There are no bums or drug addicts or rapists or people waiting to push you onto the train tracks and kill you. No, it’s perfectly clean and orderly,” Tucker Carlson has said after his visit of Moscow’s Kievskaya metro station. He took his viewers on a virtual tour there and compared it to what is commonly seen in American subway stations.

In 2022, NATO and other allied governments, led by the United States, imposed a myriad of economic sanctions on Russia. The goal was obvious: punish Vladimir Putin by turning his country into a pariah state, isolated from the post-war West and forced to fend for itself as long as the war in Ukraine continued.
During his trip to Moscow to interview Putin, Tucker explored how the city has fared since those sanctions took effect. Has it been reduced to poverty and anarchy as some had hoped? Or has it turned out that Russia doesn’t need the West as much as everyone thought?
Today’s episode of TC Shorts, part one of a three-part series, offers a glimpse into everyday life in Moscow. It may shock you.
