- Russian Christmas is so different from American or any other. But New Year in Russia is the biggest holiday, and for us, it is much more celebrated than Christmas. Therefore, in this video, I am talking about New Year's traditions. If you liked my video, please let me know! Since I am a beginner at TH-cam, your support and feedback are very important to me!
Hugs 🥰

Well, videos are nice: funny, entertaining and probably unforgettable!!!
But, pronunciation is a little poor..perhaps one reason why you're recording such videos is this, but it's ok
I'm not bulling on you
It just the answer because we all learners and we have to listen native speakers' speeches....
Don't care, you're still cool!
That's true

Kind of wish i had not seen you on youtube. Now i watch for all new videos. I am to old to be watching this young beautiful woman but i do want to know russia. Please be sage with your life i can see your family really cares about you and being online brings the bad people. Ill keep watching juat to learn about Russian life. That is the most entertaining for me.
Just discovered this channel and going through the backlog. As an American I’m praying for the Russian people and Slavic peoples more broadly. I hope you all have a speedy resolution to your troubles.
Нам очень жаль, что вы отстаëте. Желаю вам в будущем году достичь того, что имеют русские.
@@AntonBrant The translation is too ambiguous so I can’t be certain of your meaning.
By speedy resolution you mean us in the EU and the West in general as we are the ones in the dire straits right now, and we need some divine intervention to get us rid of imbeciles on power. As far as I know, Russians are doing very well, if not even better.
@ my meaning is simply for the loss of life and capital to stop on both sides of the conflict. I consider all Europeans my people and want the best for them all. We should be a United (federated or at least confederation of sovereign nations all working for the betterment of our people.
I am from Moldova but moved to America, I still follow all of these traditions on new years! It is so much fun!
Amazing video! I'd really like to attend at the Russian celebration of New Year and Christmas (we Serbs celebrate it also on 7th the January) next year of 2022 (I may go to Master studies in Moscow). Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸, Nesty 😊
Woow congrats with your master! I’m sure you’ll enjoy Moscow at December 💖 Wish you all the best for future ❄️🎄
Nesty, you are an excellent ambassador for Russian culture. I have learned a lot about the people and customs of Russia from your videos. Your pleasant and humorous presentations make these videos very interesting. Happy new year, from Austin, Texas!
In the caribbean we can go out and celebrate in the streets, because there is no cold weather. Most people like to put on loud music for the whole block to enjoy. People are drinking lots of beer and other alcoholic beverages, getting drunk, dancing caribbean music and they keep it up until the next day, in some cases the party can go on for several days. In my country we eat "natilla" and "buñuelos" is a common tradition on december 24th and 31st. The children only get presents the 24th. Love your videos and agree that your personality is very attractive. Greetings from Colombia
I read "natalia" instead of "natilla" first 😂😂😂
Давно мне не попадались подобные видео, как будто с родным человеком поговорил)
You must watch It’s a Wonderful Life. It was made in the 1940’s after WW2 and is a great movie. It comes on every year at Christmas time. As I have gotten older it has more meaning to me and is very touching. I plan to watch Irony of Fate this year. Love your videos. Love and thanks from United States.
Here in the Deep South of America (at least where I live) we celebrate New Years with going out to parties & we count down the New Year. At midnight, you toast the new year and kiss the date that came with you. On New Years Day, we eat cornbread, black eyed peas, and collard greens. This is to ensure a prosperous and healthy new year.
Very interesting! Thank you for giving us a beautiful picture of Russian Christmas.
New Year
Very interesting to know all this! Thank you very much for sharing!
Many thanks, I have just had an idea of using your videos to teach foreigners bits of Russian traditions and to teach my Russian students English 😉
Hello im a fan from Philippines, im love watching your videos, they are all entertaining and educational at the sametime. and also you are so beautiful. I suggest you to content something about Philippines. and i'm sure a lot of our Filipino people will notice you.

When Ber months arrived, we Filipinos celebrated the Longest Christmas around the globe. When September 1 arrives, our malls and large establishments playing Christmas songs.
Merry Christmas in Filipino is "Maligayang Pasko"
Hope you experience our Christmas here in the Philippines.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hello from Scotland. You're video just popped up, I've now subscribed. Looks like a lovely holiday session, its interesting to see how others do things. Our family have it around the 21st after the longest night to welcome the turn in the sessions, more a pagan tradition . Take care and keep up the lovely videos.
I like the way the whole city gets decorated and the trees all lighted, it's a wonderful environment. Everyone outside celebrating and chilling in the snow.
And Russia has something about the food I'm longing to try, especially in Christmas.
Mery Christmas Nesty to You and Family 🇵🇷🫶🏻🇷🇺
In Venezuela and LATAM, we usually make big parties with friends and family, with a lot of music, food, beer, dancing and all that stuff, sometimes they last two days, those parties are hilarious and crazy xD. Of course, we also used to gather each other and eat together, make wishes for the New Year. I think New Year's Even is one of the most funny and beautiful celebration.
They still play Gentlemany Udachi? Klass!!! I love Home alone brings back many awesome memories. Rostovchan is New Yorka!
Почему играют? "Джентльмены удачи" это фильм, советская комедия о сбежавших из тюрьмы преступниках. Очень смешная.
Not to mention fireworks for 8 days straight. Well not now but before. Spent 2 new years in Russia loved it.
I genuinely love your channel. I came across it several days ago and immediately subscribed to it. Long story short, I was applying for multiple scholarships, and when I came across Russia, it intrigued me, and so now I spend most of my time on your channel, thinking I'd get a scholarship and visit it. It genuinely seems beautiful :) Keep up the great work, love your cosy video vibes :)
Thank you very much for showing Russia's beauty. I really love it.
Hello Dear I am from India your country is so beautiful place on the earth 😊❤❤
Hi dear Anastasia. We do the same celebration in new year here in Greece, same customs BUT....all Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas in 25th of December except those who follow the Old Calendar of Orthodoxy like (probably all the Russians) the monks in Mount Athos - Αγιον Ορος.
Wish you all the best, Sakis Greece - Hellas or Ελλας
As a Russian watching this I’m very happy people can learn more about this so when I say I don’t celebrate Christmas I don’t have to explain grandpa frost and why I still decorated
In UK we have a traditional Xmas movie "Scrooge" which was by Charles Dickens about a mean old man who gets taught about how to be a nicer person at Xmas,its really scary with ghosts but with a happy ending.
Very true. Charles Dickens has been filmed producing multiple versions over the past century. Currently I like the parody, “Scrooged” (1988) with Bill Murray. But the season is not complete without a viewing of “It’s a wonderful Life”. Not exactly seasonal, but more a niche offering is “I remember Mama” 1948, especially if you are of Norwegian heritage.Also, more recently, “A Christmas Story” 1983 has become popular, and significant if only because of some of the phrases that were used in the movie that became so well known in American culture “You’ll shoot your eye out”.
New Year's and Christmas seems very magical! My memories of my Christmas in Australia are some of my happiest of my life. My family was always happy on Christmas Day - we would travel out to where my grandparents lived on a farm with horses - usually in the Australian heat because HOORAY summertime for Christmas down under! - and have roast beef, baked potato and pumpkin for lunch with gravy, then all go to a bedroom and have an after-lunch nap! My Pop would dress up every year as Santa and give out presents to me and my siblings. A wonderful time
Grandfather Clause was my favorite character in this video 😂
Was New Year always the biggest celebration in Russia? Thank you for keeping on. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.
yes the New Year is one of the biggest celebrations in Russia along with 9th of May (Victory Day), Easter (probably because children get holidays and it lasts for a couple of days with the egg colourings and etc) and 1st September which is a national First day of School Day - you can see LOADS of flowers on that day). i think overall Russia has a lot more Bank Holidays than UK (definitely) not sure about other countries and there are also appreciation days such as certain profession (where you give thanks or gifts to someone you know in that profession) or mothers/fathers/children days and course 8th of March for women's day and 23 February for Men's day, Maslenitsya (pancake day) is another one, there are also individual "city birthdays" where its a full on 2 day celebration of a citys birthday with fireworks at the end of the 2nd day. i loved those the best cause where i lived it was in the summer
При СССР когда шла борьба с религией то рождество официально прекратили отмечать тем более в СССР и России очень много людей разных религий и в новый год отмечают все.
Heritage of Communism. Same here in Serbia.
Hi Ms. Anastashia,
Hope you’re doing good I’m your new subscriber to your channel!
First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing us the wonderful cultural celebration of Christmas and New Years eve in Russia.
My nationality is Filipino and here in the Philippines we celebrate the Christmas Eve in December 24th and we consider it as a preparation for the coming Christmas Day on December 25th. The highest and most dominant religion in my country is Roman Catholicism which also my religion and well. So basically, before the exact Christmas Day we Filipinos used to attend and celebrate holy mass that we so called “Misa De Gallo” It occurs from varied different time schedule in evening it may be 7:00pm, 8:00pm or 9:00pm so it depends on their choices and it’s not actually to long our Eucharistic celebration is only for 1 hour and 30 minutes and after that we are now going home, eat together have a food feast and we called this as “Noche Buena” technically meaning a good night.
On the other hand, our New Year celebration was celebration by December 31st and same as Christmas Eve the Filipino families attend holy mass in the evening to give thanks and pray for fruitful year to come and right after that we are going home to celebrate another feast and called it as “Media Noche” which means midnight and also a part of our culinary significance and tradition of sharing food until we reach 12 midnight on New Years Eve.
Stay beautiful and kind I am looking forward for your new vlogs about Russia in the future, more power to your channel Ms. Anastashia God bless you! Loved from the Philippines!
Respectfully yours,
Emman 😊
Thank you for making this video. 🙏
Thank you for comment 🥰
Christmas celebrates the birth of the baby Jesus, a very beautiful dinner between the family, people enter the closet. the turkey from the 24th to the 25th is served for dinner. I normally celebrate my daughter's birthday at lunchtime on the 24th to avoid family conflicts. we sing congratulations. and the night is dinner. with lentils, fruits, grapes, pork, raisins. They say chestnuts and nuts are for good luck, and people exchange gifts at midnight, sing Christmas carols, drink beer. In some families there is a secret friend game where we usually draw the names of family members and cannot say who got which name, so we buy a gift and on the day of dinner we take the time to deliver the gift by saying nice words or playing some guessing game. . mimes etc.
The end of the video was funny as hell Nesty!
С большим удовольствием пересмотрела снова это видео 📹!! Пасибки, Агент Нести)
On the eve of ensuing Christmas India wishes you namely, Nesty peace prosperity and good health !!! ❤️
All I want for Christmas is Nesty! 🎅🤶

Very nice channel and this video stands out. Thanks for making such a beautiful video Nesty
Love your videos, they are really informative and professionally done. Russia looks like a wonderful place.👍🇬🇧❤️🇷🇺
As always another great video. Love your work.
Very interesting video Nesty.
I used to go to Sydney, Australia in the 1990's, every Christmas and New Year. I would watch the fireworks going off on the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Most of life was in New Zealand. It is summer now in Southern Hemisphere, so We would go to the beach on Christmas Day.
My burning paper wish is for more of your videos and that you will remain safe and beautiful.
I love you too❤
Thank you for introducing your traditions ! love it so much. Very nice refreshing vlog. 👍😊🤍❄
Thank you so much 😊
@@AgentNesty Very cool video 🎉thanks for sharing ❤and would you mind if I capture some scene in your video that I would use for my video, which also introducing Russian new year…
better late than never , great video. l hope you make it Moscow soon to see fireworks.
I Just Discovered Your You Tube Channel Today. I Love It. It's Awesome & Fantastic. Thankyou So Very Much For Posting This Video. God Bless Russia & God Bless You.
❤❤🌷 Нести, с Новым годом (2023)... лучше поздно, чем никогда.❗️❗️🌷🌷🌷
Omg they are just the cutest 😍😍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
Catching up on your video catalog (from better times). I've got to suggest adding 2 more American Christmas movies to your watch list: 1> "We're no Angels"- 1958 with Humphrey Bogart - (It's a sweet comedy) , and 2> of course "A Christmas Story" - 1983. I hope this upcoming Christmas will be worthy of the innocence & happiness in those films.
Такие приятные воспоминания❤ Прекрасное новогоднее видео Настя! Кстати меня тоже так зовут, успехов в канале❤
My Tisulsky Princess ... I love you! 😘❤
In Brazil, people have the custom of spending New Year's Eve on the beach and jumping 7 waves to send to the mermaid and make 7 wishes. Whoever wants peace goes dressed in white, red love, yellow money, and green prosperity. People take a bottle of champagne to drink, and after the fireworks are over they go home.
Great job Nesty - thanks :)
Oh! My husband has not told me about making a wish and drinking it. I will have to try this tradition! Fun!
You should try it on this New Year night 🥰 🎄
Christmas celebration looks very festive
Her video is about New Year's celebration. We mostly don't celebrate Christmas. Just some people go to the church for the Christmas Eve and that's all.
Transition in my country is super fun!!
In one of my countries I’m from we have Christmas light shows and we also play Christmas music on the radio, we also go to camana bay and visit Santa Claus to sit on his lap and take pictures by digicel, it is a pleasure really to be in that country around Christmas everyone all seems so friendly and welcoming they always greeting people with smiles and celebrating Christmas many families travel to the country and live with their family for a few weeks they have Christmas decorations around other peoples houses where others are welcomes to go and visit it truly is a wonderful experience and it brings jitters into the Christmas spirit!! Have a Happy hunakah ❤
How cool, I'm loving getting to know all this culture. I found everything very beautiful and interesting.❤
Charming. Well done.
Did a double Nesty today, sorry. Well, have you ever watched Dinner for one around that time ? Cant count how often I watched. Many thanks for your infos and crazieness. Like your humor. CU
😂😂😂😅😮😢❤😊happy new year
My family on new year as soon as it strikes 12 we open a door or window to let the old year out and the new year in.
Узнала об этой традиции, прочитав роман Сирила Хейра "Чисто английское убийство".
Hey btw, your Santa Claus looks WAY cooler!
James nanaimo bc Canada you're awesome coming to Budapest soon
Your accent changes in public compared to when your at your parents. Beautiful.
From Montreal. All my best wishes... Hope you the top of the top, with peace and liberty, love and health. Great content. You are clever and funny. Which is a lot
🌲Tsar Peter the Great copied the tradition of fir greenery in Europe and in 1700 asked his compatriots to decorate the holiday table with fir branches and the New Year was celebrated for the first time🎆. After Peter's death, such rituals fell into oblivion again, until Alexandra Fyodorovna, the wife of Tsar Nicholas I, breathed new life into them a whole century later, albeit at Christmas.
🎀The German, born Friederike Luise Charlotte Wilhelmine von Prussia in Potsdam in 1798, introduced the custom at court of decorating tables with arrangements made of fir branches.🎄On her initiative, the first Christmas tree was set up in the Anichkov Palace in St. Petersburg in 1819. The first public "Jolka" could be admired in 1852 in the building of what was then the Yekaterinen railway station (today Moscow railway station) in St. Petersburg. From then on, it also spread to the provinces, especially in cities with a strong German diaspora. The Christmas tree is a German tradition and is now a tradition in Russia, America and many countries. Best Wishes to the world from Germany🎁🎁
Вся Европа заимствовала обряд наряжать ель на Рождество у немцев. Не только Пётр 1.
I wish I could spend my Christmas and new year with a beautiful Russian woman like you. Love you my favorite Russian agent! ❤️
I can't believe why you have such a small family I wish God and you hardwork give 100 million subscribers to you ❤❤😅😅 love you crush
Great content.
Love your accent.

Thank you 😊
Красивая волжаночка, с наступающим и рождеством, симпатяга.
Спасибо! С наступающим 💖
In UK we send someone outdoors at 11.59pm on 31/12 then let them back in on the stroke of midnight.But in Russia it seems more fun.
thanks ❤
I wish I could share with you more than just a comment. Your Christmas is very cozy and happy. I love it❤
We eat back-eyed peas at new years not sure where this tradition comes from but it's sapose to bring prosperity
Good morning my love, there are a lot of cool things in this store 🥰
awesome
Happy Christmas Anastasia, I love you darling
Смотрю, уже зная что там будет)
Love you
Happy new year
Russian Christmas reminds me of how American Christmas used to be.
We mostly don't celebrate Christmas. Just some people go to the church for the Christmas Eve and that's all.
@@RusGirlVlog Not exactly. Lots of Russians celebrate the way people in Russia used to in the times before the revolution of 1917, I mean getting together and having a true warm family celebration. Not everyone did it in Soviet times but some has always celebrated Christmas in Russia not only in the church but also at homes.
@@ЕлизаветаБаронина-э3э я знаю очень много людей уже, учитывая свой возраст, но из всех этих людей только 1-2 семьи отмечают этот праздник походом в церковь на ночь, потом стол и гости дома, подарки. Для всех остальных это обычный выходной. Максимум поздравляют друг друга словами и всё.
Amazing video happy Christmas
💖 Merry Christmas 🎄
💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙🤗
christmas was also celebrated in december in russia but there was a different callendar, the gregorian
My absolute favorite Russian movie is "Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath". The one where a Russian bachelor - a doctor by profession - gets undetected on a plane bound for St. Petersburg, instead of his friend not flying as planned... Well. The doctor was only going to return in the evening by taxi to his mother's apartment in Moscow. But he gets to his future wife's apartment at the same address with his own keys, where her boyfriend Ippolit will "fall from a great height and hurt his wing". I've watched it many times over the years and I never get tired of it.
I rewatched it yesterday.
@@russiafromwithin5440 Несмотря на то, что я финн и живу в Финляндии, я всегда смотрю это снова. Есть и другие интересные российские и советские фильмы, но этот я пересматривал снова и снова с тех пор, как открыл его для себя. Галя очаровательна! И две ее нетерпеливые подружки... Отличный дуэт! Еще один фильм, который я тоже смотрел несколько раз, - «Преступление и наказание». Младшая сестра Родиона очень красивая.
So sweet
Hi Nesti, I liked the video, very beautiful place where you live, God bless you, Merry Christmas 🎄 I'm from Brazil, you're a happy girl, friendly, kind, affectionate, beautiful, who brings joy in your videos, keep it up, stay with Jesus, success👍
You make a very nice snow maiden ;)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Deep you in this atmosphere= take you deep into this atmosphere 😂
What?! No Charlie Brown’s Christmas or It’s A Wonderful Life?!
Beautiful Tree at the end!
Lovely 🌹🌹🌹
What i would like to see from a Russian vlogger is about the Matrioshka dolls.
But what exactly would you like to know about these dolls?
@@RusGirlVlog All what they represent and what the history etc.
@@j.4332 Matryoshka's prototypes are Japanese nesting Fukuruma dolls that were brought to Russia in the end of the 19th century. A Russian artist made similar doll, but he drew a girl. He called it Matryoshka because of a Russian woman name Matryona that was popular at that time. That's all the story.
I love the trees more than presents now
According to my count you mentioned the word celebration(s) 13 times.Happy New Year from the Netherlands.
😅
1:07 I didn't expect that in this kind of vlog and also from u T_T HAHAHAHAHAHAA
Very nice....!
That was interesting. I’m Canadian.

Fascinating ✨
Thank you dear 🥰
