During his recent stint in Moscow interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin, reporter Tucker Carlson took the opportunity to contrast Russian life and life in America with a trip to an abundantly stocked grocery store and a clean and orderly 70-year-old subway system.
Visiting a modern supermarket, Carlson dispelled images circulated in the West amid the Cold War long ago that depicted the country as a land of scarcity and hunger.
“So a long-standing feature, maybe the longest standing feature of Cold War propaganda in the west was the Soviet grocery store,” Tucker says in a recent “TC Short” on the Tucker Carlson Network, adding, “No products, no choices, shoddily made things. And it wasn’t actually propaganda, it was real.”

Tucker Carlson grocery shopping in Russia. This is so interesting.

“So we thought it would be interesting to take a look at a contemporary modern day 2024 Russian grocery store two years into sanctions. Here we go.”
Filling his shopping cart with various items an average family would typically need in a week, Carlson and his crew discovered food was bountiful and shelves were fully-stocked, and despite sanctions, many products from the West were still readily available.
When it came time to pay, Tucker was shocked as the total cost of a full cart of groceries, which he’d estimated would cost $400 in the United States, came in at just over $100 USD.
“And that’s when you start to realize that ideology maybe doesn’t matter as much as you thought,” Tucker says. “If you take people’s standard of living and you tank it through filth and crime and inflation and they literally can’t buy the groceries they want, at that point maybe it matters less what you say, or whether you’re a good person or a bad person, you’re wrecking people’s lives in their country. And that’s what our leadership’s done to us.”
“And coming to a Russian grocery store – the heart of evil – and seeing what things cost and how people live — it will radicalize you,” he says.
Tucker also visited the Kievskaya Metro subway station in Moscow built under Joseph Stalin in the 1950s, where he was taken aback by its lack of filth and degradation.
“The question is how is it doing now, after 70 years? So we went into it to take a look and what we found shocked us,” Tucker noted, adding this was no endorsement of Stalin or Putin.

“But it doesn’t change the reality of what we saw — or more precisely didn’t see. 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 on to the train tracks and kill you. No, it’s perfectly clean and orderly.”
Footage proceeds to show incredibly clean, well-lit terminals with beautiful art and lighting fixtures throughout, cultivating a vibrant, thriving culture of which citizens appear to be proud.
The eye-opening images shedding light on daily life in Russia prompt questions as to whether the United States really still is the greatest country in the world, or whether the globalists hellbent on bringing it to its knees have succeeded.
