Gregory Lesterlin possesses a French passport 🇫🇷, but his soul is 100% Russian 🇷🇺. He left France when he was 24 years old, and after university, he spent 3 years in Australia. Then he came to Russia for a holiday with a 1-month tourist visa and… he’s still here!

He became a real estate investor and interior designer, met a beautiful Russian lady named Olga ❤️, started a family , bought a dacha 🏡 (a typical Russian countryside house) , acquired a Russian car, the UAZ Hunter, and joined a team of off-road UAZ weekend enthusiasts.

Another of Greg’s hobbies is delicious food🍸🍴. He makes video reviews of restaurants in Moscow and all over Russia, admitting that the cuisine here is simply wonderful. However, he still thinks some of the French dishes his grandmother cooked were better! 😜

Following the commencement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on February 24, his French relatives advised Greg and Olga to leave Russia and move to France, but they opted to remain in Russia. Olga’s friends offered help by sending food , messaging, “We know there’s no food in Russia; the shelves are empty, and you’re starving.” Greg and Olga just laughed at that and responded, “Nothing has changed for us, and the sanctions have had no impact at all.”

By the way, Greg and Olga are now building their own big house! “Russian Road” channel was the first to manage to come visit it 🏠.

  1. Another stunning production, thanks! Whenever I see that you've uploaded another video, I know that I wouldn't be disappointed. Your videos are very inspirational – makes me want to move there tomorrow.

  2. A Frenchman, who has handed over his own country to Middle Easterners and Muslims to occupy and destroy it, and now he has come to Russia, chanting 'Make Russia Great Again.' This is while Russia is healthy and beautiful, and it is his own country, France, that actually needs help😂 What a pathetic man

  3. I love Russia , I have visited it twice . The Russians are cool , friendly people and the country offers so much too see and do but it is huge !  
    I am planning the possibility to move there for two or three year and learn the language.

  4. I also love to renovate houses but here in Australia house prices has gone through the roof. Want to make the move to Russia next year and have a peaceful life.🇿🇦🇦🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

  5. Hi, what do you think of the wood frame houses that we build in Australia? Do you think there is a market for it in Russia? 🇿🇦🇦🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
