A Different View of Russia – Without Political Interference or agenda.

I am a Norwegian content creator publishing under the name this_norway_guy. My work focuses on documenting everyday life, people, and culture in Russia — seen through the eyes of an outsider driven by curiosity, not ideology.

What my content is about:

The purpose of this project is to highlight sides of Russia that rarely reach Western audiences. I aim to provide a more human, nuanced perspective — not to defend or criticize, but simply to show that Russia is more than headlines, geopolitics, or the Kremlin.

My content focuses on:

Contrasts between East and West
Human encounters and observations
Daily life, traditions, and culture
Unfiltered impressions and personal curiosity

The project is constantly evolving, and so is my understanding of the places I visit. I don’t claim to represent any ultimate truth — I share what I see and feel, honestly.

What this project is not

It is not politically motivated. I have no affiliations with any state media, government agency, or political movement — neither in Russia nor the West.
It is not in the propaganda spectrum. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything, it's simply documenting what i see.
It is not traditional journalism. This is a personal exploration — raw, subjective, and open-ended.

If you want to understand my work, don’t look for a message. Look for a perspective.
