10. No way they had comparable lifestyles

The Russian woman in your video likely survived some very, very hard times; she would have been a child during WWII and a young woman during the hard times that befell Eastern Europe in the following decades. She likely engaged in extensive physical labor throughout her life.

The blonde woman in the first video? Let's just say I don't see her working on a farm, in a factory, or raising 6 kids over her lifetime.

On edit: after watching both videos, I'd say that the younger-looking woman is the one with one foot already in the grave. Blondy may look better on the outside, but Russian Granny is in shape! Holy crap, she can do harder crunches than I can!
