"Behind every accent there is a brave story" I love this so much 😢 I think some people forget that the US was founded by immigrants - keep being iconic!
@@user-qv9vl2mi6ydo you live in America? If you do, you sound like you dislike America bc it was “stolen.” So why are you still here? You don’t wanna go find another country that wasn’t stolen?
Speaking of not forgetting, lets not forget about the language and culture that existed here before the “founding”, just saying as an indigenous person… i mean the “founding” certainly not something i can forget about, but yeah, sadly, probably true, easy for most…
Виталян, мы скучали! Полностью тебя поддерживаю, здорово, что ты будешь вести канал на английском! За тобой всегда интересно наблюдать! А сколько есть разных историй у Легенды - это мы знаем! С нетерпением жду нового видео! А кто помнит: не получилось - бросила!😂 ICONIC🔥
We all forget them sometimes, even not living abroad lol that's why filler words exist. "Um" "uh"" "like" or complete sentences to make up for the times our brains and mouths aren't working so well together "cats got my tongue" "you know what I'm trying to say, right?" "I'm having a brain fart"
I immigrated from Germany to the US eight years ago and I know exactly how it feels. My reasons for moving there were different but the struggles are the same. People questioning if you came there legally or if you’re staying legally is so sad to me. I’ve been through the entire green card process and it’s no Picnic. It cost a lot of money, it’s very invasive and takes a long time. But you’ll get through it. The family part was and is the hardest for me too. I would suggest , if it’s possible, to find a therapist. I did and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. Good luck on your journey ❤
Виталий, как иммигрант в другой стране я так чувствую тебя по поводу семьи!! Моим бабушке и дедушке уже за 80, они живут в городе, где я сама родилась и выросла до переезда. Порой я чувствую такую безвыходность из-за ситуации в мире и невозможности повидаться с ними и моим близким человеком, с которым мы до сих пор активно поддерживаем связь. И в тот момент, когда мои бабушка с дедушкой покинут этот мир, я просто... Не буду знать, что делать.
i love your personality and i’m so excited for this new journey! i hope you’re not insecure about your english, you actually do a really good job speaking it! i’m sorry you haven’t seen your family, i hope things change soon 💕 sending lots of love your way, keep being yourself legend, we all love to see it
Your pop culture channel is one of my faves! You’re so naturally funny and charismatic! I’m so excited you’re giving us the opportunity to get to know more about you 💓
Hiya Vitaly! Stoked to see what this channel brings! I'm absolutely shocked that you're in Massachussets. I figured you'd've chosen California! I'm going through something similiar but not really, I had to leave the US as I wasn't "legal", my whole family is still there while I'm alone in Canada. I haven't seen them in 11 years. I'm hoping that my paperwork stuff gets squared away soon, I totally felt when you said "had to learn to celebrate Christmas alone".
I really like your OG channel and have been curious about who you are. I'm happy that you got the courage to do this. Thanks for sharing! Also I just think the sound of your voice is aces. Please get this man some voice-over work - Subscribed! 🎉
I hate the deli department at the grocery store even as just a customer. It can be so hectic and overwhelming. I’m stoked you made this channel and look forward to learning more about your life- its past, present, and future. America is lucky to have you 🙏🙌
Baby, trust me when I tell you this, I damn near broke my wrist, and ankles, trying to grab my phone when I heard my sis say u posted 😂. My sister, and myself will continue to support you my fellow Celebrity 🥰 we will subscribe to u rn! You look gorge babe! Can't wait to learn more about you 💯💜 I copied and pasted this comment, only because the other one is getting deleted. Te Amo y besitos 😘 ( I LOVE you, & kisses in Spanish) 💜
Once he's feeling more comfortable and/or confident (channel your 2015 Demi Lovato, Legend!) he could even do cute little Shorts, like expectations vs reality regarding his first-time experiences in America (first apartment, first job, etc) or even "What people think immigrating from Russia to America is" (Fieval and his mouse family 😂) vs what it was really like, but ofc with that elevator music from so many memes playing over footage of boring airport lines and whatever else captures the non-Fievalness of it all....and perhaps any actual cats or rodents one might glimpse during modern travel 😅 ...Now that I think about it, such Shorts might help Vitaly grow this channel. Others who have moved from their home country to the US or even Canada could watch them and relate, which might pull them in to watch his longer videos....which they might also relate to. Or people thinking about moving from their homeland to the US might watch and find it both informative and humorous. I've found a few creators I've subbed to through their Shorts. Today was this dude who does/is Powerline from A Goofy Movie. If you're a Legend like Vitaly, you know and love both Powerline and A Goofy Movie. If not, well....."If we listen to eachothers hearts, you'll find we're never too far apart" 👍
I adore Slavic accents. My entire family is from Poland so I grew up having to translate for my mom. My mom still makes cute little mistakes when she speaks English, like saying "one buy, buy one free" instead of "buy one, get one free."
I adore the little slip-ups from people where English is not their first language. I remember these two Portuguese girls talking about "dirty biking".. I almost didn't want to correct them because "dirty biking" sounds so much cuter and is also more accurate than "dirt biking"...though I did kindly inform them "You're close! It's 'dirt biking' but I really do like the way you say it better!" They appreciated the help improving their English as well as the compliment. I still want to call it dirty biking lol Your mom's "buy one free" is actually pretty on point, too. You do have to buy one for the free one! 💖
Vitaly, I was you 24 yrs ago. A little 19 yo boy from Russia who escaped Russian traditional values for the first time and was able to be himself. The struggle you’re going through is giving me flashbacks of my own story. It took long 7 years before I was able to go back home and visit my family. Now my husband, who’s English is going through the immigration process and it helps a lot to understand his pain having gone through it myself. He’s also stuck here until his green card is approved.
"Behind every accent is a brave story"! I ❤love❤ this! I personally LOVE accents. I have a bit of a heavy NYC accent. My closest friends has a parent with a Korean accent and the other Chinese. My parents - Italian accents, but they speak two separate dialects so there's a little variation there. My partners parents are Jamaican. I love just listening to everyone. Your English is very good, sir. I personally love your accent too❤❤
I'm not American and i don't live in America, my family came from Eastern Europe and the "behind every accent is a brave story" hit hard. Everyone's circumstances are different and it takes a lot to go where you feel you need to be. You're doing phenominal ❤️
Hey Vitaly, I want to start by sending _much love_ from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 And yes, as a Bulgarian, I understand all the Russian jokes & references you make 😹 I haven't missed a video of yours since I found your channel & I'm so glad you finally decided to give us some backstory 😸 I was born in 1994 & I've been a *Melomaniac & Pop Culture FanGirl* for as long as I can remember, so I can totally relate to people sometimes just using you as Google, Wiki, or simply a History book, while completely forgetting that you're an actual human being with a soul & personality 😅 I've also been working in the food industry for years now: supermarkets, hypermarkets, bakeries, now I'm in the office & production workshop of a coffee chain - so your workplace stories also resonated a lot (I swear, SOME clients are just-) 😄 I'm so happy you made it to to The States 🇺🇸, and as hard as it is, just remember how lucky you are & that it's all worth it ⭐ My cousin left around '07 & was really panicking in the beginning (couldn't even tell the weather over there, because of the different measurements, LOL) but now she says she's never coming back here - just comes to visit the family once in a couple of years 🔙 (and TBH - can't blame her one bit)... P.s. if you by any change decide to come back & visit Russia, pleeease be extremely careful - you can get drafted for the military (or God knows what else) - things in Eastern Europe are SO NOT calm by any means 😩
I'm in the southeast, and you speak better english than some folks down here 😅. Thanks for being brave and sharing, Really excited to hear more stories!
love from the UK!! love this channel and this video! i was born in the UK but my parents immigrated to the UK from South Africa. I’m introverted and this video felt like a FaceTime call with a new bestie on FaceTime. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your life, many will relate to this entirely, or only aspects of it, if not relate, they will learn about such processes, the impact and sacrifices people have to make for this. Thank you again, sending sm love🦇🫀🧛🏿♀️
0:09 🖤💛💖 subscribed!!! I have deep mental health issues and I’ve finally started to live my life again. It’s a lot so I’m here for your journey. Seeing other people go through their journey makes me feel like I can get through mine too 💕
I feel like your English-fluent Russian audience from years ago is STRIVING now. I mean I can fully confirm that lol cause I freakin missed YOU and all the stories you used to share about yourself & your life, etc etc. Beyond happy to have you back in a way that you’re comfortable with. Hope you’ll enjoy this journey. But please remember one thing: икона и в Африке икона 💅🏼 so keep on slaying. All love.
omfg finally! we are getting 1 k subs today , period! for us introverts are really hard to practice any language and skills because we rather be hermits. I totally get it, we love ya and we are here for you darling ! let's do your astral chart soon :) il do it if you want to give the deets .
Vitally, I Can honestly say that out of all the YEARS I’ve spent watching TH-cam (I’m fkn 31 and the way you have all of us 2000s teens in a chokehold is insane 😂) I’ve never gone back to someone’s Chanel three times after watching One of their videos for the first time and had to make sure the subscriber count was correct. Not that it’s the most important thing but I just couldn’t believe you didn’t have millions. Anytime I show anyone your content they’re like “OMG he’s talking about everyone we grew up with! “ you may not have millions of subscribers (yet 😅$$$$) but I honestly believe that the ones that are here are here because they truly admire all of the hard work and effort you put into your videos. You’re always so spot on with your commentary too. We love having you here in the states but especially California! Working and pursuing your dreams is not easy but you’re kicking ass. God bless you on your journey and even though California is expensive af (I’m about 4 hrs away from la) it is a dream at times. I still get that same feeling whenever I go to la too. It’s an ugly cement place that’s so AMAZING to me. The pop culture girlies get it! Thank you for all you do babe!
Yay!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!! I’m so so so so so so proud of you!!! I can’t wait to hear everything about your life and journey.. I know it’s gonna be such a huge inspiration to so many people ❤ your story matters and it has to be heard! ✨ love you! 💙
i’m russian myself i teach English i’m so happy i’ve come across your channel and that now i get to know you as a person your story is sooo inspirational you deserve the world ❤
And 5 years later (actually even more) I'm also still with you, your old fan, with whom you were speaking one time on your TH-cam stream. You gave me really great advice about relationships, that I still remember. I really love your charisma and personality and that's why I'm with you and I really excited you made this channel!!!!! Finally, we'll listen to all of your adorable stories. I fell you, because I also emigrated from my country and facing same problems as you 5 years ago. So grateful I found your new channel! Кто не с нами, тот под нами! Icon!
always wondered what your background / immigration story was, from the bits and pieces you’d mention in your y2k videos. so this is exactly what i was looking forward to! immediately subscribed. also, i can’t imagine speaking russian as a native english speaker myself, so don’t worry - your english is amazing. looking forward to the future of this channel!
верю и надеюсь, что у тебя все будет хорошо. ты крутой. я не знаю аналогичных русскоязычных каналов о зарубежной поп-культуре нулевых такого же уровня... да и знать не хочу. спасибо за то, что теперь делишься еще и личными историями
😊 just finished the video. Great job on your English skills. The cheese slicing story had me laughing so loud😂😂 I've been watching your other channel since the beginning and loving every minute! We here in Jenntopia- ( a magical place that accepts everyone) is bestowing on you " The knight of All 2000s Pop Culture " 🦄 Keep going sweetie!!!🌟🌈❤😊
Also - when I lived in Mexico - I nearly never spoke Spanish : / and I was terrified to! I give you ALL of the credit for making content in ENGLISH - and making content in general! It's not easy but you are great and have come a long way! You will continue to do so - I know it! HAHA about the deli!! My husband worked in a grocery store also....and...he also works for himself and always will from now on ;)
Immediately clicked and subscribed when I heard that you were putting up a second channel. ❤❤❤ please do not worry you did so amazing with this video as you do with all of them. 🥰
You seem like such a genuine, thoughtful, caring person ❤ (your humor and hope is wonderful too) My heart is sad about your family, and your English is better than sooooo many people born here. And I love that you call viewers 'legends'
Discovered your other channel almost a year ago and I’ve always enjoyed your content! Excited for this new channel and looking forward to getting to know you better and following your journey. Sending you love from South Africa, legend!🇿🇦
Well I watched the latest vid, you popped up in my feed, that's a good sign for he Algorithm for you! There are only the 3 so I said I'm going to be an OG on this channel and watch them all. It is very touching and shows your determination not seeing your family to make a new life here. I wish ALL the best for you and that you are also all reunited soon.
Very proud of you Vitaly! It took so much courage for you to move to a new country all alone. Can't wait to see what you do with this channel! And your English is fantastic ❤
You did amazing for your first video!! You speak fantastic english so you should be proud of yourself! I can't wait to see more videos about you and your life. I'm definitely an introvert myself so I can totally relate where you're coming from! One of the most beautiful things about the states is it's a melting pot of all walks of life and immigrants is a huge part of that. My heart breaks for you and your family not being able to see eachother but can you atleast talk on the phone and facetime?
I am glad that you found the courage to create this channel. It's important to see people not content or dollar signs. Thank you for sharing your story with us
Pop off legend! Yourlaugh is so adorable… ever since the first video I saw of yours, I was hooked. You’re a great storyteller and you’re so real and funny and charming. I see big opportunities in your future. I’m so glad you’re making your way here in the US. Welcome from Florida huntyyy🙏
I'm also gonna immigrate to study and work as soon as I have enough money(most likely to Canada)😅 i loved hearing other people's story and know what to expect! I always wanted to hear your story but figured out that you may just not want to talk about. ANYWAYS I loved hearing your perspective
Since you are sharing about you, I am compelled to share a little bit with you. I am first generation American born. My mother is from Trieste ,Italy and my father Sicily. My mothers father moved here shortly after she was born. He lived here alone, working 6 days a week, saving up to get my mom and her mom here. He worked so hard to provide me so many opportunities. It is such a bad@ss and brave thing to move countries! I am not in the same state, I am in NYC, but we are time zone buddies! I love your first channel and am all in for this one! Wishing you so much success. 💓✌️
It is definitely brave for anyone to just leave everything behind and move some place where they know nobody. Especially an entire other country where there's bound to be struggles with a language barrier. It can be frustrating for both sides when that barrier comes up and must also feel very isolating at such times for those who are being misunderstood in their efforts to communicate. English is my first language and I struggle sometimes to be understood by fellow Canadians; we speak the same language but they still don't always understand and I don't always know how to put thoughts/feelings into words. That in itself can feel isolating or frustrating, but I'm still in my home and native land.... This is probably part of why places like "Little Italy" etc exist in large cities (Toronto is basically the Little Apple if New York is the Big Apple.) It allows brave immigrants a place where they can have a taste of home and be able to speak without any language barriers getting in the way. They can even create new families with their fellow.....I want to say "imports" like how fancy wealthy people love boasting about their expensive goods imported from Paris, Milan, etc, but I'm afraid it might come across as something negative when I don't mean it as such. Not everyone is brave enough to have themselves imported by exporting themselves away from everything and everyone they know....and also you can't spell important without "import" Another thing I've been noticing amongst the younger folk who come here is they're still forming their own "families" away from home with other international students etc, but they've also created their own subcultures mashing our stuff with theirs. It blew my mind when I discovered this Sidwhalla (forgive me for any misspelling) guy...huge east-Indian rapper and his music videos were pretty much like our rap videos, except I don't recall seeing any ladies booty-shakin'. Opening up their own bars/clubs catering to the international college students who find they quite enjoy many things about living here, but they also want to put their own twist on our things. I think that's pretty cool. Some people complain a lot about immigrants everywhere, and that's not cool. It's like they forgot that we live on stolen land....and also we have people from other lands to thank for some of our favorite foods and other things. Most people like pizza and lasagna, for example, or tacos, or pierogies if they're made right, Swiss and Belgian chocolates....I know there's so much more to other cultures than just food, but food is almost as universal as music, if not moreso. Most of us outside of Scotland do not appreciate the sound of bagpipes (except for maybe Korn/Jon Davis stans, which good for Jon doing for bagpipes what Weird Al did for the accordion), but as soon as you smell something good cooking, you want to know what it is and if you can have some. Especially now that it's barbecue season! But anyway, yeah, most of us are descendants of immigrants who came over at some point, just it's easy to forget when its been so many generations since our ancestors stepped off that boat. (Mine stepped off The Mayflower, like so many others.) And those international students are working their butts off to be here between their education and their jobs!
"You're interested in me as a person and I don't blame you. " Me af and also so crazy i was going to compliment your English and then you said that in the video!
We love you and support you ❤ I am so proud of you for doing this. It’s never easy to talk about the your story..your real story. Proud of you for being so brave and being vulnerable. No judgment here ever! I’m sure the others who followed feel the same.
Hey I'm so proud of you for sharing this part of your life. I can't wait to hear more. You're such an interesting and honest person. And I'd love to have a friend like you!! It's hard making new friends as an adult so I get it. Native english speaker in LA willing to scope out celebrity hot spots and go on driving tours of iconic paparazzi locations, filming locations and find celebrity houses. 💕
I love the idea of getting to know you separately from your other channel! But I have to tell you that your English is impeccable!! Seriously you are extremely clear and concise with what you are trying to convey! You really are doing a fantastic job Vitaly!! I for one can't wait to get to know you better and hear your english get better with every video! Love as always from me in Montana! 🖤💋🖤💋🖤💋🖤
I'm so excited to learn more about you while you practice your English! My grandma was Polish and immigrated to the US after the Holocaust. "Behind every accent there is a brave story" is so true. You're doing so well. See you in the next video, legend!
I love your main channel vids and I’ll definitely love these ones too! I’m so proud of you for getting out of your shell and doing something that is difficult for you. Keep up the great work!
So proud of you for opening up and telling a personal experience ❤ very brave, inspiring and I hope all is well with you, I love the scream and horror posters in the back, you’re husband material
Awh Vitaly, I work at Home Depot, so I know how retail is and sometimes customers are the worst. But you gotta just take it in strides and keep doing the hard work. It will all payoff in the end!
I’m so happy you made a channel like this 💜💜💜 I’ve been watching for a long time now and I just think you’re the coolest and genuinely so inspirational to me. I believe in you and can’t wait for more 💜🫶
So glad you’re here in the US Vitaly. I’m so sorry that you haven’t seen your family in 5 years though. I hope that one day they can come out here to visit you. ❤
Good luck with everything, you have it hard... I'm from Israel and I grew up with many immigrants from Russia and Ukraine, it's such a process to change everything... I wish you all the best and support, I'm sure everything will be alright at the end. Маладец!
Here for it. Love your accent and I am sad the fact a beautiful country with so many diverse people is in such turmoil...I can only hope this war ends and you get to see your fam again. I am also an Immigrant in another country and English is second nature now. Lotsa love.
You’re so sweet and come across as 100% genuine! I’ve been watching you since the beginning and it has been a joy to watch your growth and progress! You’re doing fantastic!
I am extremely proud of you and have immense respect for you for your dedication to learning American English. It is one of the most difficult languages in the world, I think. And you’re doing a fantastic job of it. I’m impressed by how well you already speak English and I know you will become even better. I’ve enjoyed your content which I’ve seen so far and look forward to seeing more. As an added bonus, you’re super cute!
Aww❤❤ , Vitaly,! I wish I could give you a big hug,!!! 😢😢 Thank you so much for opening up and sharing some of your story!! I'm so happy that we are getting to know you on a deeper level and I love that you are sharing your life and who u are with us!!! ❤❤❤❤ Can't wait to hear more!!! Sounds like you are a TRUE LEGEND!!! Xoxo 😘😘😘 keep ur head up and keep pushing forward!!! ❤❤
Vitaly, this video was an immediate click and subscribe! I have been watching you for a few months now and leave an occasional comment. I found your videos one day while eating lunch alone on the floor of my apartment, feeling very lonesome. Woe is me! To say that I (and WE) are proud of you for uploading this video onto your new channel is such an understatement! Kudos to you for doing this to practice your English, but let me tell you something: The mistakes you make when speaking English are merely a reflection of where you come from, and to me that is very charming! This shows that you are extremely intelligent for being able to juggle and retain TWO very difficult languages in your head! What an amazing accomplishment. What I am trying to say is, your mistakes in English do not reflect ignorance but instead reflect that you are so intelligent and skilled and brave and OUTGOING! Try not to be ashamed for your mistakes because like i said, they are quite charming anyways :) AND HOW DARE THEY THROW A LEGEND LIKE YOU IN THE DELI DEPARTMENT….Don’t they know who you are?! You are the Cape Cod local y2k celebrity…Duh. I am Leaving this comment because myself and everyone else who has commented and subscribed are so excited and proud to see you step outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to something new. Loneliness is a beast, but no feeling lasts forever. They say life is short, but when you are living in it, it can actually feel unbearably long. But that is good because that means that it is EXTREMELY unlikely that you will be spending Christmas and New Years not surrounded by the love of your family. You will see them again, and that reunion will be something you cherish forever. For now, keep collecting stories and memories that you will be able to share with them when you see them again. :) No one is island, especially not you! We love you very much and we are sooooo freaking excited to see what’s coming next, LEGEND!!!! Much love from Indiana, YOU GOT THIS!
I did a similar programme 25 years ago and also ended up on the deli! I had no idea what 'chicken satay' was and my brain nearly broke when someone asked for 'shaved turkey', lol. I would go to have my panic attacks in the giant refrigerator. Stay strong. We believe in you 💖
"Behind every accent there is a brave story" I love this so much 😢 I think some people forget that the US was founded by immigrants - keep being iconic!

Hiya Vitaly! Stoked to see what this channel brings! I'm absolutely shocked that you're in Massachussets. I figured you'd've chosen California! I'm going through something similiar but not really, I had to leave the US as I wasn't "legal", my whole family is still there while I'm alone in Canada. I haven't seen them in 11 years. I'm hoping that my paperwork stuff gets squared away soon, I totally felt when you said "had to learn to celebrate Christmas alone".
I really like your OG channel and have been curious about who you are. I'm happy that you got the courage to do this. Thanks for sharing! Also I just think the sound of your voice is aces. Please get this man some voice-over work - Subscribed! 🎉

I love that you’re stepping out of your comfort zone and trying to expand not only yourself to document life but your language 🩷
Once he's feeling more comfortable and/or confident (channel your 2015 Demi Lovato, Legend!) he could even do cute little Shorts, like expectations vs reality regarding his first-time experiences in America (first apartment, first job, etc) or even "What people think immigrating from Russia to America is" (Fieval and his mouse family 😂) vs what it was really like, but ofc with that elevator music from so many memes playing over footage of boring airport lines and whatever else captures the non-Fievalness of it all....and perhaps any actual cats or rodents one might glimpse during modern travel 😅
...Now that I think about it, such Shorts might help Vitaly grow this channel. Others who have moved from their home country to the US or even Canada could watch them and relate, which might pull them in to watch his longer videos....which they might also relate to. Or people thinking about moving from their homeland to the US might watch and find it both informative and humorous. I've found a few creators I've subbed to through their Shorts. Today was this dude who does/is Powerline from A Goofy Movie. If you're a Legend like Vitaly, you know and love both Powerline and A Goofy Movie. If not, well....."If we listen to eachothers hearts, you'll find we're never too far apart" 👍
I adore Slavic accents. My entire family is from Poland so I grew up having to translate for my mom. My mom still makes cute little mistakes when she speaks English, like saying "one buy, buy one free" instead of "buy one, get one free."
I adore the little slip-ups from people where English is not their first language. I remember these two Portuguese girls talking about "dirty biking".. I almost didn't want to correct them because "dirty biking" sounds so much cuter and is also more accurate than "dirt biking"...though I did kindly inform them "You're close! It's 'dirt biking' but I really do like the way you say it better!" They appreciated the help improving their English as well as the compliment.
I still want to call it dirty biking lol
Your mom's "buy one free" is actually pretty on point, too. You do have to buy one for the free one! 💖
Speak your truth, brother! I'm subbed for this.
Виталик, поздравляю тебя с новым этапом в твоей жизни, ты ставишь цели и добиваешься их, успехов❤❤❤
Vitaly, I was you 24 yrs ago. A little 19 yo boy from Russia who escaped Russian traditional values for the first time and was able to be himself. The struggle you’re going through is giving me flashbacks of my own story. It took long 7 years before I was able to go back home and visit my family. Now my husband, who’s English is going through the immigration process and it helps a lot to understand his pain having gone through it myself. He’s also stuck here until his green card is approved.
* Paris voice * That's hot...so excited for this channel!!
Виталя я тебе прекрасно понимаю, у меня такой же путь. Сейчас живу в НЙ и строю свою жизнь. Прорвемся легенда!❤
"Behind every accent is a brave story"! I ❤love❤ this!
I personally LOVE accents. I have a bit of a heavy NYC accent. My closest friends has a parent with a Korean accent and the other Chinese. My parents - Italian accents, but they speak two separate dialects so there's a little variation there. My partners parents are Jamaican. I love just listening to everyone.
Your English is very good, sir. I personally love your accent too❤❤
Excited for this! ❤
I can’t wait to hear about it your journey!! I’ve wanted to start my own channel, but I’m not sure I am ready to be so brave as you are!
I'm not American and i don't live in America, my family came from Eastern Europe and the "behind every accent is a brave story" hit hard. Everyone's circumstances are different and it takes a lot to go where you feel you need to be. You're doing phenominal ❤️
This is gonna be so interesting, Thanks for sharing!🖤
Hey Vitaly, I want to start by sending _much love_ from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 And yes, as a Bulgarian, I understand all the Russian jokes & references you make 😹 I haven't missed a video of yours since I found your channel & I'm so glad you finally decided to give us some backstory 😸
I was born in 1994 & I've been a *Melomaniac & Pop Culture FanGirl* for as long as I can remember, so I can totally relate to people sometimes just using you as Google, Wiki, or simply a History book, while completely forgetting that you're an actual human being with a soul & personality 😅
I've also been working in the food industry for years now: supermarkets, hypermarkets, bakeries, now I'm in the office & production workshop of a coffee chain - so your workplace stories also resonated a lot (I swear, SOME clients are just-) 😄
I'm so happy you made it to to The States 🇺🇸, and as hard as it is, just remember how lucky you are & that it's all worth it ⭐ My cousin left around '07 & was really panicking in the beginning (couldn't even tell the weather over there, because of the different measurements, LOL) but now she says she's never coming back here - just comes to visit the family once in a couple of years 🔙 (and TBH - can't blame her one bit)...
P.s. if you by any change decide to come back & visit Russia, pleeease be extremely careful - you can get drafted for the military (or God knows what else) - things in Eastern Europe are SO NOT calm by any means 😩
Subscribed! So excited for this channel!
I'll stop spamming comments but fr more personal story times pls Vitaly!!! Lmfao ur description of the customers in the American grocery store 😭😹😹😹😹
Also 🤍🙏🏻 praying you get to see your family soon in the meantime you gotta stay positive and keep aiming for the stars ✨
I'm in the southeast, and you speak better english than some folks down here 😅. Thanks for being brave and sharing, Really excited to hear more stories!
wydm *not* pop culture?
this is still pop culture thnx,
hey celebrity 🎬💫
love from the UK!! love this channel and this video! i was born in the UK but my parents immigrated to the UK from South Africa. I’m introverted and this video felt like a FaceTime call with a new bestie on FaceTime. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your life, many will relate to this entirely, or only aspects of it, if not relate, they will learn about such processes, the impact and sacrifices people have to make for this.
Thank you again, sending sm love🦇🫀🧛🏿♀️
Виталий, я очень рада, что ты завел канал о себе ❤️ очень скучала, легенда
Vitaly, you're doing great! I'm excited to learn more about you.
0:09 🖤💛💖 subscribed!!! I have deep mental health issues and I’ve finally started to live my life again. It’s a lot so I’m here for your journey. Seeing other people go through their journey makes me feel like I can get through mine too 💕
Can't wait for your next video. Thank you for giving us insight into a more personal side of you. And your English is great.
As a fellow introvert, I’m glad you’re trying to make things work out for you. Your English is pretty good already!
I feel like your English-fluent Russian audience from years ago is STRIVING now. I mean I can fully confirm that lol cause I freakin missed YOU and all the stories you used to share about yourself & your life, etc etc. Beyond happy to have you back in a way that you’re comfortable with. Hope you’ll enjoy this journey. But please remember one thing: икона и в Африке икона 💅🏼 so keep on slaying. All love.
omfg finally! we are getting 1 k subs today , period! for us introverts are really hard to practice any language and skills because we rather be hermits. I totally get it, we love ya and we are here for you darling ! let's do your astral chart soon :) il do it if you want to give the deets .
Vitally, I Can honestly say that out of all the YEARS I’ve spent watching TH-cam (I’m fkn 31 and the way you have all of us 2000s teens in a chokehold is insane 😂) I’ve never gone back to someone’s Chanel three times after watching One of their videos for the first time and had to make sure the subscriber count was correct. Not that it’s the most important thing but I just couldn’t believe you didn’t have millions. Anytime I show anyone your content they’re like “OMG he’s talking about everyone we grew up with! “ you may not have millions of subscribers (yet 😅$$$$) but I honestly believe that the ones that are here are here because they truly admire all of the hard work and effort you put into your videos. You’re always so spot on with your commentary too. We love having you here in the states but especially California! Working and pursuing your dreams is not easy but you’re kicking ass. God bless you on your journey and even though California is expensive af (I’m about 4 hrs away from la) it is a dream at times. I still get that same feeling whenever I go to la too. It’s an ugly cement place that’s so AMAZING to me. The pop culture girlies get it! Thank you for all you do babe!
I fucking love your laugh. I'm grateful that you are here in America. This is your home now and that makes our country that much better.
Yay!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!! I’m so so so so so so proud of you!!! I can’t wait to hear everything about your life and journey.. I know it’s gonna be such a huge inspiration to so many people ❤ your story matters and it has to be heard! ✨ love you! 💙
love you so much my FRIEND! 🩷 thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement you’ve given me during my darkest times!!!
i’m russian myself
i teach English
i’m so happy i’ve come across your channel and that now i get to know you as a person
your story is sooo inspirational
you deserve the world ❤
And 5 years later (actually even more) I'm also still with you, your old fan, with whom you were speaking one time on your TH-cam stream. You gave me really great advice about relationships, that I still remember. I really love your charisma and personality and that's why I'm with you and I really excited you made this channel!!!!! Finally, we'll listen to all of your adorable stories. I fell you, because I also emigrated from my country and facing same problems as you 5 years ago. So grateful I found your new channel! Кто не с нами, тот под нами! Icon!
always wondered what your background / immigration story was, from the bits and pieces you’d mention in your y2k videos. so this is exactly what i was looking forward to! immediately subscribed. also, i can’t imagine speaking russian as a native english speaker myself, so don’t worry - your english is amazing. looking forward to the future of this channel!
верю и надеюсь, что у тебя все будет хорошо.
ты крутой.
я не знаю аналогичных русскоязычных каналов о зарубежной поп-культуре нулевых такого же уровня... да и знать не хочу.
спасибо за то, что теперь делишься еще и личными историями
😊 just finished the video. Great job on your English skills. The cheese slicing story had me laughing so loud😂😂
I've been watching your other channel since the beginning and loving every minute!
We here in Jenntopia- ( a magical place that accepts everyone) is bestowing on you " The knight of All 2000s Pop Culture " 🦄
Keep going sweetie!!!🌟🌈❤😊
I am so happy you did this! Very excited to see what your life is like and what you're up to day to day!
Also - when I lived in Mexico - I nearly never spoke Spanish : / and I was terrified to! I give you ALL of the credit for making content in ENGLISH - and making content in general! It's not easy but you are great and have come a long way! You will continue to do so - I know it! HAHA about the deli!! My husband worked in a grocery store also....and...he also works for himself and always will from now on ;)
Immediately clicked and subscribed when I heard that you were putting up a second channel. ❤❤❤ please do not worry you did so amazing with this video as you do with all of them. 🥰
You seem like such a genuine, thoughtful, caring person ❤ (your humor and hope is wonderful too) My heart is sad about your family, and your English is better than sooooo many people born here. And I love that you call viewers 'legends'
❤❤❤ yay!!!! I made it! So happy for you❤❤❤❤
Discovered your other channel almost a year ago and I’ve always enjoyed your content! Excited for this new channel and looking forward to getting to know you better and following your journey. Sending you love from South Africa, legend!🇿🇦
wow I loved hearing your story. adore you, Vitaly. keep sharing, we're all here for you.
Excited for this new channel. I’m an immigrant too and know how hard it is. The deli department stories had me dying 😂
Lmaoooo the American ordering at the deli impression. Happy you’re in the New England area and like it! I am right up in NH
For what it’s worth, I love your accent Vitaly🤍 and you always have the coolest thing to say. No pressure from me ⭐️
Well I watched the latest vid, you popped up in my feed, that's a good sign for he Algorithm for you! There are only the 3 so I said I'm going to be an OG on this channel and watch them all. It is very touching and shows your determination not seeing your family to make a new life here. I wish ALL the best for you and that you are also all reunited soon.
Very proud of you Vitaly! It took so much courage for you to move to a new country all alone. Can't wait to see what you do with this channel! And your English is fantastic ❤
Очень странно, я не знаю английский, но смотрю тебя и как будто знаю😂
Виталик, очень скучала по таким видео, удачи тебе🥰
You did amazing for your first video!! You speak fantastic english so you should be proud of yourself! I can't wait to see more videos about you and your life. I'm definitely an introvert myself so I can totally relate where you're coming from! One of the most beautiful things about the states is it's a melting pot of all walks of life and immigrants is a huge part of that. My heart breaks for you and your family not being able to see eachother but can you atleast talk on the phone and facetime?
I am glad that you found the courage to create this channel. It's important to see people not content or dollar signs. Thank you for sharing your story with us
Pop off legend! Yourlaugh is so adorable… ever since the first video I saw of yours, I was hooked. You’re a great storyteller and you’re so real and funny and charming. I see big opportunities in your future. I’m so glad you’re making your way here in the US. Welcome from Florida huntyyy🙏
I'm also gonna immigrate to study and work as soon as I have enough money(most likely to Canada)😅 i loved hearing other people's story and know what to expect! I always wanted to hear your story but figured out that you may just not want to talk about. ANYWAYS I loved hearing your perspective
Since you are sharing about you, I am compelled to share a little bit with you.
I am first generation American born. My mother is from Trieste ,Italy and my father Sicily.
My mothers father moved here shortly after she was born. He lived here alone, working 6 days a week, saving up to get my mom and her mom here. He worked so hard to provide me so many opportunities.
It is such a bad@ss and brave thing to move countries!
I am not in the same state, I am in NYC, but we are time zone buddies!
I love your first channel and am all in for this one! Wishing you so much success. 💓✌️
It is definitely brave for anyone to just leave everything behind and move some place where they know nobody. Especially an entire other country where there's bound to be struggles with a language barrier. It can be frustrating for both sides when that barrier comes up and must also feel very isolating at such times for those who are being misunderstood in their efforts to communicate. English is my first language and I struggle sometimes to be understood by fellow Canadians; we speak the same language but they still don't always understand and I don't always know how to put thoughts/feelings into words. That in itself can feel isolating or frustrating, but I'm still in my home and native land....
This is probably part of why places like "Little Italy" etc exist in large cities (Toronto is basically the Little Apple if New York is the Big Apple.) It allows brave immigrants a place where they can have a taste of home and be able to speak without any language barriers getting in the way. They can even create new families with their fellow.....I want to say "imports" like how fancy wealthy people love boasting about their expensive goods imported from Paris, Milan, etc, but I'm afraid it might come across as something negative when I don't mean it as such. Not everyone is brave enough to have themselves imported by exporting themselves away from everything and everyone they know....and also you can't spell important without "import"
Another thing I've been noticing amongst the younger folk who come here is they're still forming their own "families" away from home with other international students etc, but they've also created their own subcultures mashing our stuff with theirs. It blew my mind when I discovered this Sidwhalla (forgive me for any misspelling) guy...huge east-Indian rapper and his music videos were pretty much like our rap videos, except I don't recall seeing any ladies booty-shakin'. Opening up their own bars/clubs catering to the international college students who find they quite enjoy many things about living here, but they also want to put their own twist on our things. I think that's pretty cool.
Some people complain a lot about immigrants everywhere, and that's not cool. It's like they forgot that we live on stolen land....and also we have people from other lands to thank for some of our favorite foods and other things. Most people like pizza and lasagna, for example, or tacos, or pierogies if they're made right, Swiss and Belgian chocolates....I know there's so much more to other cultures than just food, but food is almost as universal as music, if not moreso. Most of us outside of Scotland do not appreciate the sound of bagpipes (except for maybe Korn/Jon Davis stans, which good for Jon doing for bagpipes what Weird Al did for the accordion), but as soon as you smell something good cooking, you want to know what it is and if you can have some. Especially now that it's barbecue season! But anyway, yeah, most of us are descendants of immigrants who came over at some point, just it's easy to forget when its been so many generations since our ancestors stepped off that boat. (Mine stepped off The Mayflower, like so many others.) And those international students are working their butts off to be here between their education and their jobs!
"You're interested in me as a person and I don't blame you. " Me af and also so crazy i was going to compliment your English and then you said that in the video!
We love you and support you ❤ I am so proud of you for doing this. It’s never easy to talk about the your story..your real story. Proud of you for being so brave and being vulnerable. No judgment here ever! I’m sure the others who followed feel the same.
Hey I'm so proud of you for sharing this part of your life. I can't wait to hear more. You're such an interesting and honest person. And I'd love to have a friend like you!! It's hard making new friends as an adult so I get it. Native english speaker in LA willing to scope out celebrity hot spots and go on driving tours of iconic paparazzi locations, filming locations and find celebrity houses. 💕
i am actually really hyped for this channel, proud of you that you are doing this
I love the idea of getting to know you separately from your other channel! But I have to tell you that your English is impeccable!! Seriously you are extremely clear and concise with what you are trying to convey! You really are doing a fantastic job Vitaly!! I for one can't wait to get to know you better and hear your english get better with every video!
Love as always from me in Montana!
🖤💋🖤💋🖤💋🖤
I'm so excited to learn more about you while you practice your English! My grandma was Polish and immigrated to the US after the Holocaust. "Behind every accent there is a brave story" is so true. You're doing so well. See you in the next video, legend!
I love your main channel vids and I’ll definitely love these ones too! I’m so proud of you for getting out of your shell and doing something that is difficult for you. Keep up the great work!
So proud of you for opening up and telling a personal experience ❤ very brave, inspiring and I hope all is well with you, I love the scream and horror posters in the back, you’re husband material
You honestly seem like such a sweet person. I’d love to have a friend like you! I wish you all the best:)
How wonderful it is to get to know the man behind such great pop culture content. Congrats on the new channel and keep it going!
Aww Vitaly, you got this! I hope you get to see your family soon. Stay strong, your online community loves you. 🖤
Awh Vitaly, I work at Home Depot, so I know how retail is and sometimes customers are the worst. But you gotta just take it in strides and keep doing the hard work. It will all payoff in the end!
I’m so happy you made a channel like this 💜💜💜 I’ve been watching for a long time now and I just think you’re the coolest and genuinely so inspirational to me. I believe in you and can’t wait for more 💜🫶
So glad you’re here in the US Vitaly. I’m so sorry that you haven’t seen your family in 5 years though. I hope that one day they can come out here to visit you. ❤
ahhhhh celebrity!!! pre commenting but sending lots of love
Good luck with everything, you have it hard...
I'm from Israel and I grew up with many immigrants from Russia and Ukraine, it's such a process to change everything... I wish you all the best and support, I'm sure everything will be alright at the end.
Маладец!
I used to work at a deli too, don’t miss it at all! Looking forward to this new channel
Here for it. Love your accent and I am sad the fact a beautiful country with so many diverse people is in such turmoil...I can only hope this war ends and you get to see your fam again. I am also an Immigrant in another country and English is second nature now. Lotsa love.
Been waiting for something like this
You’re so sweet and come across as 100% genuine! I’ve been watching you since the beginning and it has been a joy to watch your growth and progress! You’re doing fantastic!
I am extremely proud of you and have immense respect for you for your dedication to learning American English. It is one of the most difficult languages in the world, I think. And you’re doing a fantastic job of it. I’m impressed by how well you already speak English and I know you will become even better. I’ve enjoyed your content which I’ve seen so far and look forward to seeing more. As an added bonus, you’re super cute!
Aww❤❤ , Vitaly,! I wish I could give you a big hug,!!! 😢😢 Thank you so much for opening up and sharing some of your story!! I'm so happy that we are getting to know you on a deeper level and I love that you are sharing your life and who u are with us!!! ❤❤❤❤ Can't wait to hear more!!! Sounds like you are a TRUE LEGEND!!! Xoxo 😘😘😘 keep ur head up and keep pushing forward!!! ❤❤
your personality comes through on your other channel, but thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to get to know you better
Vitaly, this video was an immediate click and subscribe! I have been watching you for a few months now and leave an occasional comment. I found your videos one day while eating lunch alone on the floor of my apartment, feeling very lonesome. Woe is me!
To say that I (and WE) are proud of you for uploading this video onto your new channel is such an understatement! Kudos to you for doing this to practice your English, but let me tell you something: The mistakes you make when speaking English are merely a reflection of where you come from, and to me that is very charming! This shows that you are extremely intelligent for being able to juggle and retain TWO very difficult languages in your head! What an amazing accomplishment. What I am trying to say is, your mistakes in English do not reflect ignorance but instead reflect that you are so intelligent and skilled and brave and OUTGOING! Try not to be ashamed for your mistakes because like i said, they are quite charming anyways :)
AND HOW DARE THEY THROW A LEGEND LIKE YOU IN THE DELI DEPARTMENT….Don’t they know who you are?! You are the Cape Cod local y2k celebrity…Duh.
I am Leaving this comment because myself and everyone else who has commented and subscribed are so excited and proud to see you step outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to something new.
Loneliness is a beast, but no feeling lasts forever. They say life is short, but when you are living in it, it can actually feel unbearably long. But that is good because that means that it is EXTREMELY unlikely that you will be spending Christmas and New Years not surrounded by the love of your family. You will see them again, and that reunion will be something you cherish forever. For now, keep collecting stories and memories that you will be able to share with them when you see them again. :)
No one is island, especially not you! We love you very much and we are sooooo freaking excited to see what’s coming next, LEGEND!!!! Much love from Indiana, YOU GOT THIS!
Thanks for sharing and I’ll be waiting for more content! ❤
I did a similar programme 25 years ago and also ended up on the deli! I had no idea what 'chicken satay' was and my brain nearly broke when someone asked for 'shaved turkey', lol. I would go to have my panic attacks in the giant refrigerator.
Stay strong. We believe in you 💖
