Hi Natasha. I don't eat meat often.Do Georgian people have salad in restaurants? Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, radishes, celery,cress, beetroot? I don't like everything smothered in mayonnaise. I hope the Georgian people retain their culture. Good luck to you as a Russian . Tough going sometimes I expect. Where do you want to go? Good luck.😊
Natasha❣️ As an older fellow woman I have to “scold”you, because I recognize the same mistake I made in my younger years. You definitely underestimate your skills!!! You speak as if you felt useless😮 You have a successful TH-cam channel and produce interesting and meaningful content- this is no small thing and many people with marketing degree couldn’t succeed in that!!! This is definitely a strong point on your resume. Your English is also great! Please don’t think of your achievements so small. Also, I was very happy to hear you think of visiting Poland where I originally am from. If you make it to the EU you will definitely see many opportunities for yourself. Have you thought about eg. starting with applying for an internship in media houses - I really think your TH-cam channel gives you an edge over people studying journalism and maybe you can combine that with getting additional degree- it is common in Germany where I live now that people first start some jobs to try out different things and then study for 2 years for such additional diploma (can be combined with work). But first and foremost please don’t think so low of your skills and yourself.
Excellent advice. I'd suggest sending your CV to The Economist and checking the magazine which sometimes offers traineeships. Be kind and fair to yourself, Natasha.
I agree! You are exceptional and your English is perfect. All you need is to remind yourself that you CAN do difficult things. Don’t hold yourself back. ❤
Martha, as an older fellow human I'd suggest you think twice before you write anything that requires brain..... I won't tell you that you are doing mistakes the young people do, cause you are not young. Just not smart. Natasha is a nothing. A total zero of life, from a troubled russian society. A useless individual that tells absolutely nothing important and explains nothing to anyone. Example: the "russian law" of Georgia.... A law that ANYONE willing to read a few more articles outside of their woke bubble, will immediately find out that comes from America, that established that law first, years before Russia (for obvious security reasons) and enforces it on everyone in its territory right this very moment we are talking!!! But it is a "russian law" for the rest of the planet.... People who want to be human behave in a different way Martha. They become useful. They work. Or study and work. Or study in order to find themselves somewhere one day, so they can be useful. They do not stay youtubers. Because making money (that is the only thing YT offers to society, besides brainwashing) is not the ultimate goal for them. And let's be honest: all these "influencers", it is money they look to get. Maybe fame some of them. But "dollari" (imagine it with romanian accent and clinging coins noise in the background) is the only thing they dream of. Nothing good for anybody else. So, in a society full of homeless, drug addicts, orphans, sick people, destitute elderly and people losing everything to the banks, Natasha has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to give. To the real people that need help. And that is ok. It is normal: She is NOT here to help anybody!! Just "blah blah blah" in front of a camera and.... voila!!! here is some YT money for you!!! And to finish, let me just erase what both of you think: Do NOT kid yourselves that Natasha is doing anything, or managed to have "a successful YT channel". Nobody did anything. Example: I started a small YT channel with russian video clips for the war, for fun, to see what will happen. Do you know what happened? I got "shadow banned" me the first day!!! Not the second, or the third. No, no. THE VERY FIRST DAY dear Martha...... My first video got very popular and started getting massive views. Suddenly it stopped.... Next day nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I only got my own views... I laugh because I couldn't care less. I am not a YTer. But I tell you this, my fellow challenged human, just to introduce you to the notion of ALGORITHM !!! Yes, that is what makes (or breaks) Natasha in a second. Not her talent, or her beauty (figuratively speaking...). YT algorithm favors russian traitors. YT wants to show that "here, even the Russians know we are right!!". As soon as our dear Natasha changes her mind about the LGBTQ issues, or climate, or Ukraine, or Putin...... If she changes her opinion and decides to step outside of the goat herd, or (God forbid!!!😂) voice her opposition..... Yeah.... She will disappear into the darkness where she came from, never to be seen again. Her "not a small thing" carrier will evaporate into the thin air..... And yes, the marketing degree people may not have a channel like hers. But after all finishes, they still have their degree. So, Martha. Use your brain before you speak. As a fellow human, have a nice day in Germany.
I remember when i was only one of a thousand followers of this channel. I’m so happy to see your success coming from your hard work. You’re great, keep up the great reporting, Natasha!
Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark, Scandinavia. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to your brave and intelligent comments. Wish you all the best.
@@andersmller3000 Actually Finland and Iceland are NOT Scandinavia 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴 = Scandinavia. 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴🇮🇸🇫🇴 (part of 🇬🇱) = Scandinavian heritage 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴🇮🇸🇫🇴 (part of 🇬🇱)+🇫🇮 = Nordics
@@rocknrolliskingdude8760yes Denmark is Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are Scandinavian countries. Read some history and geography books before commenting
what parts of her talk is "brave" or "intelligent" exactly? Any details you can provide to back up such claims? I wish her all the best, but what I see is she's confused about her self-identity and person, she's even confused to which country she belongs, she's also confused about her sexuality. This is not brave, nor intelligent, it is mental and I don't say it with bad feelings or intentions, but it is what it is.
I imagine being a political exile must be very, very difficult, particularly given the barriers in the West against Russian people. I'm sure I would feel very lonely, depressed, and useless as a person. Very, very few of us are true rolling stones, content to live without roots and connections. I do hope that eventually you will find a home for yourself in a country you can come to truly love and grow roots. I am very, very privileged to live a safe and happy life as a Canadian, and I wish the same for you. Your videos are wonderfully honest and authentic, and I enjoy watching them.
Hi Natasha. Creepy boomer here (lol). Followed you for the past three years or so, and I think you’d make a brilliant reporter or foreign correspondent… just my opinion, but maybe worth bearing in mind. You have really good analytical and communication skills that many news outlets and current affairs channels and organisations may find indispensable.
as a local, I dont always like my country to be represented as a hospitable, people pleaser. what you see today in Georgia is a scriptwritting of past century and soviet regime. If you trully want to know how we are as a people, you should get into history, and even without knowing history, what you can say is we are fighters, we are ancient people, feminism was born here, it was a woman in 4th century that changed whole religion of Georgian people, it was Queen Tamar who ruled as a king, people during 12th century lready knew and accepted equality, it was a poet Shota Rustaveli who wrote: ლეკვი ლომისა სწორია, ძუ იყოს თუნდა ხვადია" Lion cubs are equal, be they male or female. Even before that, we had Medea, after whom the word medicine is derived. Soviet times stole ourr history, made us look like weak, people pleasers, who will bend their head to anyone. They fed us a story that has never been ours. You already see young Georgian, free girls and boys, who reclaim back their power, who fight as wolves, after which our land is named. We are the wolf people of the ancient roots. that's how we want to be represented.
@@suportbghelp4938 yet we existed before Jesus, and this is not a narcissistic comment, but a fact often ignored. She mentions so briefly that there might have been wars here because we have so many fortresses🙄 girl are you for real? this country has been fighting for its existence since it was created.. like as you are staying here for so long, why don't you have a little look at the history of this country that provided you with a shelter and permitted you with a residence. Since Natasha came here she has been only focusing on how this country treats her, how people treat her.. why just not be grateful, so many countries restricted entry of any Russian citizen since they started war in Ukraine. and they might be right because Russia is your country, you don't like something happening there, fix it. Anyways, this Country gave you so much, yet you sit here judgingly discussing if and why we are Rusophobic - What we feel towards you is not disgust but caution, driven by so many memories for so many centuries, phobia is fear, are you surprized that we fear people from a country that took away our freedom for the past 4 centuries? Do you know what your fellow citizens did here in 2008 and 1992 when they occupied us - they have been cutting heads of our people and playing football with it, in 2008, Russian soldiers stole toilets from Samachablo 🙄 they made mothers eat their sons eyes and by no means Im exaggerating. Your people brought terror to us, why not be humble and little ashamed what you have done to us. Yet we permit you to be free and enjoy what you're doing. and Yes, don't sing any Russian songs in our cafes and restaurants, we don't want to hear that language. I have Russian friends, who unlike you are respectful,.
@suportbghelp4938 Jesus is for the backward people. All religions are man-made and Russian is made by dictators and despots that ruled so-called russky empire
@nina27707 I agree with you reading Russian history, but Natasha told that they mean russkue vekikiye(BS) and she doesn't believe all the russkue say about themselves.
Hi Natasha, you do not give yourself enough credit. Your English is pretty much perfect and you have great presentation and journalistic skills. Your TH-cam videos are always an easy and interesting watch. You should have no fears for the future.
Hello, good to see you back on TH-cam, wonderful representation and narration of your experience in Georgia. I was not bored Listening and watching you, Great job.❤❤
You are doing a lot to make Georgian culture and its towns known to people in the West. I hope you are supporting their fantastic football (soccer) team in Euros 2024. 🙂
Agree 100% with the positive comments. Natasha's films show or have shown parts of Russia and now Georgia to an audience who would otherwise never see these places or hear about the food, the beautiful buildings and the ugly buildings, the culture, history, etc. We could read some of this in books but Natasha gives the stories a life they might not have as print on a page. Good to see her in the sun, hopefully absorbing as much Vitamin D as possible. This channel is one of the best on YT.
I always enjoy getting updates from you, Natasha, as I have been following you since you started your channel. You were the first Russian vlogger I followed, and since then I now follow eight other Russian vloggers, most who have left Russia. I really like all you guys! If all Russians were like you guys, it would be a different Russia. There would be peace! Friendship! I sympathize with your predicament. When I was your age, I was confused about many things such as what career I should choose, where I should live, and what I believe. Many of us are raised in certain religions, which we later leave. Even so, as a deist, I still believe in God. I think you will eventually figure things out. In any event, I hope you can visit the United States again. There have been a huge amount of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe that settled in western Pennsylvania, which is where I grew up and reside. The parents of one of my history teachers in high school were from Russia.
Same thing for me. I was one of the first 500 subscribers and I am also from Western PA. And Yeah Russia was the first Russian TH-cam channel that I subscribed to. Small world!
You are not useless at all: You are a journalist; a sociologist; an advocate; a politician; a documentary producer; a travel writer; an innate communications expert; an entrepreneur; a teacher - not bad for a young woman. You should go to university though; give some thought to Utrecht, which teaches courses in English and is well respected.
It's a good thing that she's "useless" to the Russian invasion force in Ukraine, though. She's actually much more valuable doing other things than being fed to the meat grinder in Ukraine.
Why did you delete my previous comment? girl if hearing the truth about what your country did to Georgia hurts you so much, stay humble, put your head down and respect what this country and people gave you. Stop focusing on what you get, you are in a land that your people have been destroying for the past 4 centuries. The least thing you can do is respect. and as an advice, while you are staying here, read a little bit of history about this country so that you don't say any more bullshit.
@@scottlaux6934 She is self centered person that cannot accept any critic 🙄🙄 I wrote about what she said incorrectly and about our attitude to Russians, how they terrorized us for centuries, and yet she dislikes when we cannot stand a Russian singing in our cafes. Yes, we cannot stand that language, people who talk to her in Russian are old generation people who grew up under Soviet regime and are brainwashed.
@@nina27707my problem with Natasha is that it is all about her and her LGBT crusade. She is obsessed with being affirmed in her sexual choices and is really hostile to traditional relations. The anti foreign agent law is a good thing. I am American and I know my country will try and stir up another war between Georgia and Russia just like we stirred up a war in Ukraine. She doesnt care just like she doesn't care about the slaughter in Ukraine. Affirming her sexuality is more important. She should stay out of Georgian politics. Move to the US and get a job for a NGO here.

Don't listen to people who tell you what they think you should be doing or worry about what you think you should be doing compared to others. Just do what you enjoy doing and what makes you happy. That is secret to a life well lived.
NFKRZ and yourself have put the country of Georgia on my map! Im now interested in visiting Georgia for a while, in my escapist fantasy of touring all around Europe (which I will probably never get to do, because I am too poor😂) so I appreciate you sharing your experience with us. It is a shame that the times are tough, and that you didn't get to experience Georgia without all the political tensions. I'm glad that you acknowledge the situation, rather than just lashing out at the country and people of Georgia. That shows your intelligence, compassion and maturity that a lot of people lack - even people several decades older than yourself. I fully believe that there is a world where Russia and Georgia are friends, AND Georgia is still its full sovereign borders with its own rights to self determination as a nation. All that was ever needed from the Russian government, was a long-term genuine respect and good-faith effort in diplomacy. Unfortunately the Russian government just can't seem understand this. Instead they would rather trample over every nation and people's that it comes into contact with, both within and outside its borders. One day we'll see Russia embrace its full potential as a diplomatic and widely respected nation, but clearly not anytime soon.
Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Russia to become diplomatic at least for the next 20 years while Putin is in power. That is more than enough time to start new wars that would endanger its neighbors and especially us Georgians. That's why our government is being very careful while still aiming to become an EU member. We aren't part of any alliance that would guarantee our security. I'm disappointed that Natasha doesn't get that, but I understand where she's coming from.
The West is largely a maritime conglomeration. Its access to Georgia via the Bosphorus Strait is governed by the Montreux Convention with Türkiye holding the key and lock 🔐.
Hi, Natasha. We have here in Poland the same thing. "Gość w dom, bóg w dom". Which means, if there is a guest in the house, the god is also there. It's somewhat nice. Even being an atheist i still feel that it's a proper way to treat foreigners and im proud of it. We are always open to new people in a genuine way. Yet...it didn't help with violence in our own families. I expierienced more of the latter unfortunately.
You aren't"useless", you're a very intelligent young woman , you speak English well, you have a talent for communicating and making videos and reports. Your videos are always interesting, even when you deal with complicated topics you always manage to communicate clearly and directly and always maintaining that irony that makes you stand out and gives you uniqueness. Always a pleasure to follow you👍
Here in Fresno California, many people are families from the area around Tiblisi, Van and other nearby by cities , survivors of the 1915 genocide against Armenians. It was their ancient home.
From Portugal here. You're welcome if you come over. We're a very cosmopolitan nation, good weather and friendly people. With your English you will not have any problems.
This is not Russophobia. How Russians would feel if Germans had occupied Russia, singing German songs and living in Russia. Would you call it Germanphobia? Those Russians make stupid excuses.
последнее дело - помоить свою страну перед иностранцами, ненавидящими её по определению, по праву рождения... можно ругать её перед своими, но иностранец - всегда враг, и сор из избы выносить нельзя
Take advantage while you have TH-cam to see the world. You can no longer use Instagram or Facebook, or X. Putin only lets you have TH-cam, getting closer and closer to North Korea.
lol, you don't have to crawl through a tunnel to request asylum in the US. In fact, under the CLP rule, you are presumed to be ineligible for asylum if you enter the US by crossing the southern border illegally. Fastest way to apply, you fly into a US port of entry, like JFK airport, you go to Customs and Border Protection and tell them you want to apply for asylum. They will probably give you form I-589 and schedule you for a biomentrics appt and an asylum interview. After those you wait. Should you get an immigration lawyer? idk, I've heard different things.
Natasha, i don't think that the process to ask for political asylum is the one that You have in mind. You don't have to hit rock bottom or to enter on a rubber boat, or things like that... It is actually enough for a person to not be able to live in their home Country, due to a real risk of death and political persecution. And your situation is actually, exactly this one: You cannot go back to your homeland, because You would be 100% sure persecuted and probably killed. So You are absolutely entitled to ask for political asylum...You just need to decide what Country to apply to.
Ну ну, прям таки killed. Не смешите. Мда, у нас с вами разрыв в восприятии просто феноменальный. Только вот вы информацию с блюдеца ваших, конечно же, на 100% независимых СМИ кушаете, а я в России живу и могу хоть сравнить с "по телеку сказали" и то, что в реальной жизни происходит - плюс телефонное радио от множества людей
Exactly, because the process is long it's better to look into it as soon as possible. From preliminary search Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have accepted many fleeing Russian journalists (and I think Natasha could now be considered one)

Так обидно видеть, как русский человек, выросший в России, становится Варламовым, причем не за деньги, поэтому и несчастным, на тебе лица нет. Посмотрел отрывками видео, ты не разбираешься в политических вопросах, как и все давишь на эмоции. Как можно не уважать культуру страны твоего детства? Что ты сделала полезного для страны, чтобы она перестала быть такой, кроме как засирания своей речью неблагополучные районы и политический курс страны? Неужели некоторые и правда думают что страной управляют тупые люди, которые всем хотят зла и для людей ничего не делается? Ну сними в Грузии неблагоприятные улицы, или как запад продвигает правильную демократию. Как в Канаде моментально приняли закон об иноагентах.
So glad that you are excited to travel to other European countries as well as continue to make videos! Loved how you tied up the end of your video with the idiom "Every cloud has a silver lining" with the perfect sky to match. Classic Natasha! 😊
Stop by Serbia if you get the chance one of these days. Things are far from perfect here but we have a pretty big Russian diaspora and life is pretty good overall.
So now that Georgia has made LGBTQ illegal, will you speak up against Georgian government? If you’re an activist like you say your are, then you should speak up. 🧐
I wonder if Georgia realizes how much Russian expats are doing to encourage tourism there? Seriously, the pictures of Tbilisi and the surrounding areas and the pictures of the food make me want to visit there!
Well from EU i think Poland or Lithuania would fit your living situation , although Polish would be easier for you to learn and bigger Slavic emigrant community.
You studied here in the US. You might consider immigrating here. A LOT of Russians have , historically. If you miss your home weather there are many parts of the US with similar weather. The biggest hurdle is usually learning English, which you are already fluent in. Most people don't notice accents here as there are so many. Use your contacts to explore this. We welcome immigrants who can contribute, not be a burden on taxpayers and wish to become Americans. My ancestors first started emigrating here in the very late 19th Century and many of my relatives and friends, or their parents, are still immigrants. Best thing is there is no way Putin can force you back to Russia from here.
These exploration videos are my favorite of yours. You seem like you are in a good place mentally. Sometimes slowing down and appreciating what you have is the best thing to do. Good for you, Natasha!
Hi Natasha, as many others said already: you are more intelligent, bright, analytical and perceptive than you think. Everyone will feel stupid sometimes because other people seem to know things you don't, but you will know a lot of things others do not know. Don't think you need a degree or need to know a skill before you start any job or undertaking. You are eager to learn and explore new things. That in itself is more valuable than knowing anything already. In my experience you learn so much by just doing things. In the first year of a job you can learn more than a few years in university. If you set your mind to something, maybe even something you didn't even know you would find fun or interesting, you will find you can do anything, and will learn what you need to know on the way there. Make sure to just try things. Don't be afraid to fail, or maybe you just find you don't like it, and then try something else. That is not time wasted, that is just time you needed to learn what you want. And it helps to build a network of people you know, so you can ask for help or directions, on to the next thing you want or might need. As for what makes you special; you have a way with words, keeping people enthralled by anything from complex to mundane topics, that is quite special. And you have an eye for finding beauty where others might not, judging by the things you captured on camera that others would've just walked by, either by a quick turn of the camera on a whim of curiosity or even seeking out a place like a car graveyard or abandoned building. There is a curious creative artist in there as well.
I say this Natasha, I miss your old videos of you just walking about the village, exploring innocently whatever it is that you see. I have no idea is that's something possible in the place you are existing now, however, I do feel that it's a component that has changed the complexion of your channel. I still watch though. :-)
I think the "age of innocence" for Natasha and Zack have come & gone. Both have vids pre 2022 of just walking & exploring their villages, the US town & university (for Zack), etc. However, after the events of 2022, there's no turning back for either of them. Both of them have openly stated anti-Z views, which would make them persona non grata in their motherland. Zack is now studying for a bachelor's degree in the US. Natasha is in Georgia. Dari Step is also in the US, studying for an MBA degree, but she regularly visits Russia and prefers to be non political in her vlogs (I respect her views, since she wants to be able to still visit family in Russia).
LOL...US sponsored.You are welcome dorogaya. Imagine if Russia was paying for young Americans to come and study in the RF and learn Russian culture, values and perspectives. Our government and MSM woukd freak out and participants in such a program would be on a watchlist. None the less I wish you the best. Берегите себя.
Наташка, ты опять бессовестно лжешь, я тебе уже напоминал, что закон об иностранных агентах действует в США с 30-х годов прошлого века, и нет ничего плохого в том, что Грузия и Россия учатся у лучших, у первопроходцев так сказать.

Have you thought about immigrating to America and trying to becoming a naturalized U. S..citizen? (since you can speak English so well) :) Just curious.
Do a basic First Aide Course 1st, short course but basic life skills and if you enjoyed the process you can expend on more many skills, plus you already have many skills, do not sell yourself short. Your videos are very interesting. Just saying, ... My heart is in Urkraine but I support others who wants to better themselves. Keep learning and move forward I say, best of luck ❤.
You could try to get to Germany. Your are smart eager so you can improve your skills here, and as a german, i recomend to go to Switzerland. It's the most free country in the world. Expensive, but good saleries, nice people and its a real democracy.
Yes, leave one country full of violent oligarchs intent on world domination and come to the "better" version of that that is currently funding genocide and has 800 military bases around the world occupying hapless souls like the school children in Japan. Lots of opportunity in a land $50 trillion in debt. Please stop lying to the world, let her live in peace.

Go more Western girl... Follow NFKRZ Roman steps. What are you doing there with that mindset. Run while you can all can change Russians can easily win in Ukraine and Georgia is over also...
As a Georgian, from old Tbilisi, i dont see you as an enemy. i have friends who hates russians because of occupation, but i always tell that just a simple russian citizen is not occupant, as well as if my goverment will do something shameless, it doesn’t present me and doesn’t means that i have to feel guilty for that, we all live in post soviet countries where the system is horrible, that people dont decide anything, elections are stolen all the time, so i can’t blame you why you chose putin nor you can’t blame me why i chose Georgian Dream, because i never chosen them and i believe that you never voted for Putin, its just regime , all same , we can’t make changes really, if we unite , yes we can, but that’s never gonna happen in such regimes. i’m in USA, immigrant as well as hundreeds thousand Georgians, and yes americans also dont like seeing different people in their land(its funny) , but they have to accept it, so i do too. i just want to have piece, and only danger people see is that if russian immigrants will overtake Georgia, Putin will have legitimation to take the country, thats major average Georgian’s opinion and fear. but Putin never needed any legitimation to do something, he can make a legitimation, so i think he would do it waay before if he wanted to. osetia and abkhazia is just little mine bombs that russia left here, and it will always be a big brake for georgia to take some independent steps. i hope we can find a language to speak and to do finally a deal , unfortunately russia has broken its word every time to Georgia, every contract, so ita hard to trust again, even stupidity. and someone wrote you that we were running in 2008, no my dear, hundreeds died in that war, some are brave to die for homeland and some not! i have seen russian’s who were running and begging to stay alive, but doesn’t mean that everyone is same, its just mass, russia is 50 times more with poppulation than georgia, and i dont think you are fair fighting that small nation, if you really want to see fair battle come one to one, with same amount of army and equal weapons and not jets, and you will see a result. just kidding, no one wants war and conflict, So, girl, i dont see you as an enemy and have a great time in my country, just try to live as a resoonsible person and not like a pig that we Georgians have a lot also, that leave mess in streets and nature. dont leave garbage please in nature.
Long time viewer. Disappointed to hear you use the term "boomer attitude". My heart sinks when I hear someone I admire use the term boomer to denigrate every one of a certain age as if we all are the same. Age is something we have no power to change just like skin color, race, place of origin or sexual orientation.
It was not about the age, it’s about mindset and seeing Russia through stereotypes. Many people idealise Russia and believe that there’s some “Russian soul”, and that this country is a place to escape the “degenerate woke west”, and so happens it’s mostly elderly people who believe this. I agree it sounds offensive for the people of the “boomer generation”, I should’ve used another word but I don’t know which.
My take on academic education as a requisite for a job: you definitely need a bachelor degree, but which one is not that important, unless you have a very specific job in mind. Choose something in natural sciences, humanities or arts (probably the latter two) and take it from there. If you want to continue to study in a certain field or struggle to get a very specific job, do a masters in that domain. If you're not sure which EU country might be right for you, do a road/rail trip if you can get a Schengen visa. For young people, there is Interrail, which allows you to travel by train for some months for a couple of hundred Euros (better check that, my experience with it is rather dated). In any relevant city, there are rather cheap hostels. As for destinations, I'd recommend any country bordering the Baltic Sea, plus Norway and the Netherlands in summer, closing with Athens in autumn. Context: German IT preofessional
Hello Natasha! I think you are going through a lot. War and economic crisis is hard. Is not something personal (that you lack of something) is that you are going through a hard time. At such overwelming times, is difficult to have the air and energy that one needs to continue discovering oneself. A lot of russians are coming to Argentina and are happy here! I'm sure you will find your way.
You and the other Russian TH-camrs you mentioned early should pool your resources and get one big house in Portugal and start a expat online job commune.
Hey, I saw loads of shitty comments here and I know you dont need to hear this, but keep being strong! You are able to get successfully get over any challenge there is, if you want to. Moving to a dif. country leaving family or friends (even if bad relationship) is hard. You did it tho. I hope you will find a home and a place to rest be accepted and bloom! Greets from Germany
Honestly I think the guilt is healthy. It is what I think most of us feel the majority of Russians lack. That means you are a good person. From visiting Georgia I have also seen first hand how Russian tourists treat Georgians like basically their slaves there for serving them. I was quite shocked to be honest, never seen anything like that anywhere before. I am certain you therefore are making Georgians see that there are good Russians, how ever few they might be.

The part about you not understanding business etc. is interesting. I am older. I look at people now when I hear that I think ‘confusion is a choice.’ Your ‘confusion’ is your inability to focus on something that doesn’t interest you. That is natural. Why say ‘confused’? Then you are disrespecting your own intelligence. You clearly can do what catches your attention. Go with that. That is your mind-body reaction to trying something that is not a fit. The stress of ‘confusion.’ Don’t cultivate a neurotic self viewpoint. You are a high-feeling person. That is a wonderful quality and much needed in this world. It is NOT Marketing and Finance. Sooner you can learn to listen to yourself and not judge, the farther you can go. And DO listen to the fomo. Life is short and so is youth and health. Heed that call. But be who you are.
Georgia was the country in which Joseph Stalin was born. So I suppose Georgia is to Russia what Austria is to Germany since Hitler was born in Austria.
I teach English in Tsereteli and most of my students are from Minsk in Belarus or from Russia, they are all lovely people whose lives have been disrupted by Putin's 'Special Operations' in Ukraine. Love your channel.
People's lives in Donbas were also disrupted by the UK and US doing the coup in Ukraine in 2014 which led to the military operation against ethnic Russian in tge east of Ukraine.
I hope you find your best place. It is hard and we love to hear from you. I see Dari went back to visit family and is having difficulties getting her passport back. So avoid Russia at all costs. You have studied German, so that might be a good move and Portugal sounds good as well. Use your excellent English. We love the channel and feel your pain. Don’t worry, no one understands academia, not even the academics. Thanks for the video and keep safe. Congratulations on the silver lining.
Last month I was in Tbilisi. It is a big city and there is a nice down town with a cable car to some statue. There are modern buildings like tubes and mushrooms. I came from Gori (Stalinmuseum) and Kutaisi with students protest. Later I went to Batumi on the Black Sea. Russia occupies some regions where I was not allowed to go.
Go West young lady - many more opportunities for you in Germany or France for example! Living in Georgia is not going to help you with a career - or opportunities! Canada would be a great country for you to call home - opposite to Russia!
Your story about the georgian doctor speaking to you in russian reminded me that, I've had my shoulder relocated in france 3 times, and each time the medical staff wanted to talk to me in english, even though I was capable of conversing in french (albeit not as good as their english). The french are often known to hate speaking english in their own country, but if you just make some effort to charm them, it's amazing how much english they know. People are people at the end of the day. We all have a lot more in common than some would like to admit.
Welcome to Sweden, there are lot of different educations to choose from in lot of cities here. You as a " refugee " from Russia are welcome here, as well as the Ukraina refugees. Most here see nice persons from both countries.
It’s not so much a question, but don’t you feel a certain level of discomfort living in a country that was attacked by Russia not so long ago? Obviously a lot of Georgians have mixed or hostile feelings about the large Russian expat community there and about Russia in general. It’s just a very weird and uncomfortable scenario to me.
I probably used the word “anecdote” here wrongly. I know it’s means “amusing story”. But sometimes I make mistakes in English, so I used the word “anecdote”, to mean “an incident, a story”. Of course, I know it’s very sensitive regarding the Russian language.
You’re a smart well balanced girl and your vids are interesting to watch. Take care and enjoy your life it passes by quickly. ✌️
Hi Natasha. I don't eat meat often.Do Georgian people have salad in restaurants? Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, radishes, celery,cress, beetroot? I don't like everything smothered in mayonnaise.
I hope the Georgian people retain their culture. Good luck to you as a Russian . Tough going sometimes I expect. Where do you want to go? Good luck.😊
Да какая она уравновешенная?) беспокойная психованная личность.
Natasha❣️ As an older fellow woman I have to “scold”you, because I recognize the same mistake I made in my younger years. You definitely underestimate your skills!!! You speak as if you felt useless😮 You have a successful TH-cam channel and produce interesting and meaningful content- this is no small thing and many people with marketing degree couldn’t succeed in that!!! This is definitely a strong point on your resume. Your English is also great! Please don’t think of your achievements so small. Also, I was very happy to hear you think of visiting Poland where I originally am from. If you make it to the EU you will definitely see many opportunities for yourself. Have you thought about eg. starting with applying for an internship in media houses - I really think your TH-cam channel gives you an edge over people studying journalism and maybe you can combine that with getting additional degree- it is common in Germany where I live now that people first start some jobs to try out different things and then study for 2 years for such additional diploma (can be combined with work). But first and foremost please don’t think so low of your skills and yourself.
Excellent advice. I'd suggest sending your CV to The Economist and checking the magazine which sometimes offers traineeships. Be kind and fair to yourself, Natasha.
Hi. I tell her the same thing. She just lacks confidence. Confidence in herself. She is wise beyond her years, she just doesn't know it,....yet.🌈
I agree! You are exceptional and your English is perfect. All you need is to remind yourself that you CAN do difficult things. Don’t hold yourself back. ❤
Martha, as an older fellow human I'd suggest you think twice before you write anything that requires brain.....
I won't tell you that you are doing mistakes the young people do, cause you are not young. Just not smart.
Natasha is a nothing. A total zero of life, from a troubled russian society. A useless individual that tells absolutely nothing important and explains nothing to anyone.
Example: the "russian law" of Georgia.... A law that ANYONE willing to read a few more articles outside of their woke bubble, will immediately find out that comes from America, that established that law first, years before Russia (for obvious security reasons) and enforces it on everyone in its territory right this very moment we are talking!!!
But it is a "russian law" for the rest of the planet....
People who want to be human behave in a different way Martha. They become useful. They work. Or study and work. Or study in order to find themselves somewhere one day, so they can be useful. They do not stay youtubers. Because making money (that is the only thing YT offers to society, besides brainwashing) is not the ultimate goal for them. And let's be honest: all these "influencers", it is money they look to get. Maybe fame some of them. But "dollari" (imagine it with romanian accent and clinging coins noise in the background) is the only thing they dream of. Nothing good for anybody else.
So, in a society full of homeless, drug addicts, orphans, sick people, destitute elderly and people losing everything to the banks, Natasha has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to give. To the real people that need help.
And that is ok. It is normal: She is NOT here to help anybody!! Just "blah blah blah" in front of a camera and.... voila!!! here is some YT money for you!!!
And to finish, let me just erase what both of you think: Do NOT kid yourselves that Natasha is doing anything, or managed to have "a successful YT channel". Nobody did anything.
Example: I started a small YT channel with russian video clips for the war, for fun, to see what will happen.
Do you know what happened?
I got "shadow banned" me the first day!!!
Not the second, or the third. No, no. THE VERY FIRST DAY dear Martha......
My first video got very popular and started getting massive views. Suddenly it stopped.... Next day nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I only got my own views...
I laugh because I couldn't care less. I am not a YTer. But I tell you this, my fellow challenged human, just to introduce you to the notion of ALGORITHM !!!
Yes, that is what makes (or breaks) Natasha in a second. Not her talent, or her beauty (figuratively speaking...).
YT algorithm favors russian traitors. YT wants to show that "here, even the Russians know we are right!!".
As soon as our dear Natasha changes her mind about the LGBTQ issues, or climate, or Ukraine, or Putin......
If she changes her opinion and decides to step outside of the goat herd, or (God forbid!!!😂) voice her opposition.....
Yeah.... She will disappear into the darkness where she came from, never to be seen again.
Her "not a small thing" carrier will evaporate into the thin air..... And yes, the marketing degree people may not have a channel like hers. But after all finishes, they still have their degree.
So, Martha. Use your brain before you speak.
As a fellow human, have a nice day in Germany.
@@emf2007 yeah, they are looking for cleaning ladies.

what parts of her talk is "brave" or "intelligent" exactly? Any details you can provide to back up such claims?
I wish her all the best, but what I see is she's confused about her self-identity and person, she's even confused to which country she belongs, she's also confused about her sexuality. This is not brave, nor intelligent, it is mental and I don't say it with bad feelings or intentions, but it is what it is.
I imagine being a political exile must be very, very difficult, particularly given the barriers in the West against Russian people. I'm sure I would feel very lonely, depressed, and useless as a person. Very, very few of us are true rolling stones, content to live without roots and connections. I do hope that eventually you will find a home for yourself in a country you can come to truly love and grow roots. I am very, very privileged to live a safe and happy life as a Canadian, and I wish the same for you. Your videos are wonderfully honest and authentic, and I enjoy watching them.
Hi Natasha. Creepy boomer here (lol). Followed you for the past three years or so, and I think you’d make a brilliant reporter or foreign correspondent… just my opinion, but maybe worth bearing in mind. You have really good analytical and communication skills that many news outlets and current affairs channels and organisations may find indispensable.
She’s woke, no
@@mightymicroworlds4566 You mean thoughtful and open-minded.
as a local, I dont always like my country to be represented as a hospitable, people pleaser. what you see today in Georgia is a scriptwritting of past century and soviet regime. If you trully want to know how we are as a people, you should get into history, and even without knowing history, what you can say is we are fighters, we are ancient people, feminism was born here, it was a woman in 4th century that changed whole religion of Georgian people, it was Queen Tamar who ruled as a king, people during 12th century lready knew and accepted equality, it was a poet Shota Rustaveli who wrote: ლეკვი ლომისა სწორია, ძუ იყოს თუნდა ხვადია" Lion cubs are equal, be they male or female. Even before that, we had Medea, after whom the word medicine is derived. Soviet times stole ourr history, made us look like weak, people pleasers, who will bend their head to anyone. They fed us a story that has never been ours. You already see young Georgian, free girls and boys, who reclaim back their power, who fight as wolves, after which our land is named. We are the wolf people of the ancient roots. that's how we want to be represented.
Thank You Nina..
@@suportbghelp4938 yet we existed before Jesus, and this is not a narcissistic comment, but a fact often ignored. She mentions so briefly that there might have been wars here because we have so many fortresses🙄 girl are you for real? this country has been fighting for its existence since it was created.. like as you are staying here for so long, why don't you have a little look at the history of this country that provided you with a shelter and permitted you with a residence.
Since Natasha came here she has been only focusing on how this country treats her, how people treat her.. why just not be grateful, so many countries restricted entry of any Russian citizen since they started war in Ukraine. and they might be right because Russia is your country, you don't like something happening there, fix it. Anyways, this Country gave you so much, yet you sit here judgingly discussing if and why we are Rusophobic - What we feel towards you is not disgust but caution, driven by so many memories for so many centuries, phobia is fear, are you surprized that we fear people from a country that took away our freedom for the past 4 centuries? Do you know what your fellow citizens did here in 2008 and 1992 when they occupied us - they have been cutting heads of our people and playing football with it, in 2008, Russian soldiers stole toilets from Samachablo 🙄 they made mothers eat their sons eyes and by no means Im exaggerating. Your people brought terror to us, why not be humble and little ashamed what you have done to us. Yet we permit you to be free and enjoy what you're doing. and Yes, don't sing any Russian songs in our cafes and restaurants, we don't want to hear that language. I have Russian friends, who unlike you are respectful,.

Hi Natasha, you do not give yourself enough credit. Your English is pretty much perfect and you have great presentation and journalistic skills. Your TH-cam videos are always an easy and interesting watch. You should have no fears for the future.
Good to see you again.
What a journey it's been since I subscribed 3 years ago. I look forward to the continued chronicle of your life. Thanks!
Hello, good to see you back on TH-cam, wonderful representation and narration of your experience in Georgia. I was not bored Listening and watching you, Great job.❤❤
You are doing a lot to make Georgian culture and its towns known to people in the West. I hope you are supporting their fantastic football (soccer) team in Euros 2024. 🙂
nope she is not presenting Georgian culture
politically biased talked that using Georgian scenery as a backdrop
Agree 100% with the positive comments. Natasha's films show or have shown parts of Russia and now Georgia to an audience who would otherwise never see these places or hear about the food, the beautiful buildings and the ugly buildings, the culture, history, etc. We could read some of this in books but Natasha gives the stories a life they might not have as print on a page. Good to see her in the sun, hopefully absorbing as much Vitamin D as possible. This channel is one of the best on YT.
I always enjoy getting updates from you, Natasha, as I have been following you since you started your channel. You were the first Russian vlogger I followed, and since then I now follow eight other Russian vloggers, most who have left Russia. I really like all you guys! If all Russians were like you guys, it would be a different Russia. There would be peace! Friendship! I sympathize with your predicament. When I was your age, I was confused about many things such as what career I should choose, where I should live, and what I believe. Many of us are raised in certain religions, which we later leave. Even so, as a deist, I still believe in God. I think you will eventually figure things out. In any event, I hope you can visit the United States again. There have been a huge amount of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe that settled in western Pennsylvania, which is where I grew up and reside. The parents of one of my history teachers in high school were from Russia.
Same thing for me. I was one of the first 500 subscribers and I am also from Western PA. And Yeah Russia was the first Russian TH-cam channel that I subscribed to. Small world!

You are not useless at all: You are a journalist; a sociologist; an advocate; a politician; a documentary producer; a travel writer; an innate communications expert; an entrepreneur; a teacher - not bad for a young woman. You should go to university though; give some thought to Utrecht, which teaches courses in English and is well respected.
It's a good thing that she's "useless" to the Russian invasion force in Ukraine, though. She's actually much more valuable doing other things than being fed to the meat grinder in Ukraine.

Why did you delete my previous comment? girl if hearing the truth about what your country did to Georgia hurts you so much, stay humble, put your head down and respect what this country and people gave you. Stop focusing on what you get, you are in a land that your people have been destroying for the past 4 centuries. The least thing you can do is respect. and as an advice, while you are staying here, read a little bit of history about this country so that you don't say any more bullshit.

@@nina27707my problem with Natasha is that it is all about her and her LGBT crusade. She is obsessed with being affirmed in her sexual choices and is really hostile to traditional relations.

Don't listen to people who tell you what they think you should be doing or worry about what you think you should be doing compared to others. Just do what you enjoy doing and what makes you happy. That is secret to a life well lived.
Regarding others: "Opinion is yours." "Advice is ours." "Decisions are mine and mine alone."
"Consultations are welcomed."
NFKRZ and yourself have put the country of Georgia on my map! Im now interested in visiting Georgia for a while, in my escapist fantasy of touring all around Europe (which I will probably never get to do, because I am too poor😂) so I appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
It is a shame that the times are tough, and that you didn't get to experience Georgia without all the political tensions. I'm glad that you acknowledge the situation, rather than just lashing out at the country and people of Georgia. That shows your intelligence, compassion and maturity that a lot of people lack - even people several decades older than yourself.
I fully believe that there is a world where Russia and Georgia are friends, AND Georgia is still its full sovereign borders with its own rights to self determination as a nation.
All that was ever needed from the Russian government, was a long-term genuine respect and good-faith effort in diplomacy. Unfortunately the Russian government just can't seem understand this. Instead they would rather trample over every nation and people's that it comes into contact with, both within and outside its borders.
One day we'll see Russia embrace its full potential as a diplomatic and widely respected nation, but clearly not anytime soon.
Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Russia to become diplomatic at least for the next 20 years while Putin is in power. That is more than enough time to start new wars that would endanger its neighbors and especially us Georgians. That's why our government is being very careful while still aiming to become an EU member. We aren't part of any alliance that would guarantee our security. I'm disappointed that Natasha doesn't get that, but I understand where she's coming from.

Hi, Natasha. We have here in Poland the same thing. "Gość w dom, bóg w dom". Which means, if there is a guest in the house, the god is also there. It's somewhat nice.

lol, you don't have to crawl through a tunnel to request asylum in the US. In fact, under the CLP rule, you are presumed to be ineligible for asylum if you enter the US by crossing the southern border illegally. Fastest way to apply, you fly into a US port of entry, like JFK airport, you go to Customs and Border Protection and tell them you want to apply for asylum. They will probably give you form I-589 and schedule you for a biomentrics appt and an asylum interview. After those you wait. Should you get an immigration lawyer? idk, I've heard different things.
The thing is one needs a visa to fly to a US airport. That’s why people cross from Mexico. If it was so easy 😂

Natasha, i don't think that the process to ask for political asylum is the one that You have in mind. You don't have to hit rock bottom or to enter on a rubber boat, or things like that... It is actually enough for a person to not be able to live in their home Country, due to a real risk of death and political persecution. And your situation is actually, exactly this one: You cannot go back to your homeland, because You would be 100% sure persecuted and probably killed. So You are absolutely entitled to ask for political asylum...You just need to decide what Country to apply to.
Ну ну, прям таки killed. Не смешите. Мда, у нас с вами разрыв в восприятии просто феноменальный. Только вот вы информацию с блюдеца ваших, конечно же, на 100% независимых СМИ кушаете, а я в России живу и могу хоть сравнить с "по телеку сказали" и то, что в реальной жизни происходит - плюс телефонное радио от множества людей
Actually Natasha is right... I tried applying for Political Asylum in many countries and its a long daunting tedious process. 😢
Exactly, because the process is long it's better to look into it as soon as possible. From preliminary search Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have accepted many fleeing Russian journalists (and I think Natasha could now be considered one)

I wonder if Georgia realizes how much Russian expats are doing to encourage tourism there? Seriously, the pictures of Tbilisi and the surrounding areas and the pictures of the food make me want to visit there!
Thanks!
Well from EU i think Poland or Lithuania would fit your living situation , although Polish would be easier for you to learn and bigger Slavic emigrant community.
Thank you for a very interesting vlog. Best wishes from Bjørn, Norway 🙂
You studied here in the US. You might consider immigrating here. A LOT of Russians have , historically. If you miss your home weather there are many parts of the US with similar weather. The biggest hurdle is usually learning English, which you are already fluent in. Most people don't notice accents here as there are so many. Use your contacts to explore this. We welcome immigrants who can contribute, not be a burden on taxpayers and wish to become Americans. My ancestors first started emigrating here in the very late 19th Century and many of my relatives and friends, or their parents, are still immigrants. Best thing is there is no way Putin can force you back to Russia from here.
These exploration videos are my favorite of yours. You seem like you are in a good place mentally. Sometimes slowing down and appreciating what you have is the best thing to do. Good for you, Natasha!
Hi Natasha, as many others said already: you are more intelligent, bright, analytical and perceptive than you think. Everyone will feel stupid sometimes because other people seem to know things you don't, but you will know a lot of things others do not know. Don't think you need a degree or need to know a skill before you start any job or undertaking. You are eager to learn and explore new things. That in itself is more valuable than knowing anything already. In my experience you learn so much by just doing things. In the first year of a job you can learn more than a few years in university. If you set your mind to something, maybe even something you didn't even know you would find fun or interesting, you will find you can do anything, and will learn what you need to know on the way there. Make sure to just try things. Don't be afraid to fail, or maybe you just find you don't like it, and then try something else. That is not time wasted, that is just time you needed to learn what you want. And it helps to build a network of people you know, so you can ask for help or directions, on to the next thing you want or might need.
As for what makes you special; you have a way with words, keeping people enthralled by anything from complex to mundane topics, that is quite special. And you have an eye for finding beauty where others might not, judging by the things you captured on camera that others would've just walked by, either by a quick turn of the camera on a whim of curiosity or even seeking out a place like a car graveyard or abandoned building. There is a curious creative artist in there as well.
Your videos are so good and clear.
I say this Natasha, I miss your old videos of you just walking about the village, exploring innocently whatever it is that you see. I have no idea is that's something possible in the place you are existing now, however, I do feel that it's a component that has changed the complexion of your channel. I still watch though. :-)
I think the "age of innocence" for Natasha and Zack have come & gone. Both have vids pre 2022 of just walking & exploring their villages, the US town & university (for Zack), etc. However, after the events of 2022, there's no turning back for either of them. Both of them have openly stated anti-Z views, which would make them persona non grata in their motherland.
Zack is now studying for a bachelor's degree in the US. Natasha is in Georgia. Dari Step is also in the US, studying for an MBA degree, but she regularly visits Russia and prefers to be non political in her vlogs (I respect her views, since she wants to be able to still visit family in Russia).
God damn, the bots on this channel. Unreal.
Old fart here how does one spot a bot?
LOL...US sponsored.You are welcome dorogaya. Imagine if Russia was paying for young Americans to come and study in the RF and learn Russian culture, values and perspectives. Our government and MSM woukd freak out and participants in such a program would be on a watchlist. None the less I wish you the best. Берегите себя.
Наташка, ты опять бессовестно лжешь, я тебе уже напоминал, что закон об иностранных агентах действует в США с 30-х годов прошлого века, и нет ничего плохого в том, что Грузия и Россия учатся у лучших, у первопроходцев так сказать.
Take advantage while you have TH-cam to see the world. You can no longer use Instagram or Facebook, or X.
Putin only lets you have TH-cam, getting closer and closer to North Korea.
Have you thought about immigrating to America and trying to becoming a naturalized U. S..citizen? (since you can speak English so well) :) Just curious.
Sending you Good WISHES AND GOOD SPIRITS … YOU ARE A BRILLIANT PERSON - WITH WISDOM
Do a basic First Aide Course 1st, short course but basic life skills and if you enjoyed the process you can expend on more many skills, plus you already have many skills, do not sell yourself short. Your videos are very interesting. Just saying, ... My heart is in Urkraine but I support others who wants to better themselves. Keep learning and move forward I say, best of luck ❤.
Hallo Natasha! Interessantes Video wie immer und an einem schönen Ort gedreht.
Weiterhin viel Glück und alles Gute 👍
You could try to get to Germany. Your are smart eager so you can improve your skills here, and as a german, i recomend to go to Switzerland. It's the most free country in the world. Expensive, but good saleries, nice people and its a real democracy.
Come to America, Natasha - you have lots of friends and opportunity here!
Yes, leave one country full of violent oligarchs intent on world domination and come to the "better" version of that that is currently funding genocide and has 800 military bases around the world occupying hapless souls like the school children in Japan. Lots of opportunity in a land $50 trillion in debt. Please stop lying to the world, let her live in peace.
The UK would be safer for her, we are not anti-russian.
@@keyser021 there's no genocide 🤦🏼♂️
@@braddo7270 That's right. London, especially is pro Putin. There's a reason it's called Londongrad.
@@keyser021lighten up brother life is short. There’s more to life than politics. Wars have been happening since the beginning and will go on til the end. Enjoy life while you’re here make the most of it
Go more Western girl... Follow NFKRZ Roman steps. What are you doing there with that mindset. Run while you can all can change Russians can easily win in Ukraine and Georgia is over also...
Beautiful scenery.
As a Georgian, from old Tbilisi, i dont see you as an enemy. i have friends who hates russians because of occupation, but i always tell that just a simple russian citizen is not occupant, as well as if my goverment will do something shameless, it doesn’t present me and doesn’t means that i have to feel guilty for that, we all live in post soviet countries where the system is horrible, that people dont decide anything, elections are stolen all the time, so i can’t blame you why you chose putin nor you can’t blame me why i chose Georgian Dream, because i never chosen them and i believe that you never voted for Putin, its just regime , all same , we can’t make changes really, if we unite , yes we can, but that’s never gonna happen in such regimes. i’m in USA, immigrant as well as hundreeds thousand Georgians, and yes americans also dont like seeing different people in their land(its funny) , but they have to accept it, so i do too. i just want to have piece, and only danger people see is that if russian immigrants will overtake Georgia, Putin will have legitimation to take the country, thats major average Georgian’s opinion and fear. but Putin never needed any legitimation to do something, he can make a legitimation, so i think he would do it waay before if he wanted to. osetia and abkhazia is just little mine bombs that russia left here, and it will always be a big brake for georgia to take some independent steps. i hope we can find a language to speak and to do finally a deal , unfortunately russia has broken its word every time to Georgia, every contract, so ita hard to trust again, even stupidity. and someone wrote you that we were running in 2008, no my dear, hundreeds died in that war, some are brave to die for homeland and some not! i have seen russian’s who were running and begging to stay alive, but doesn’t mean that everyone is same, its just mass, russia is 50 times more with poppulation than georgia, and i dont think you are fair fighting that small nation, if you really want to see fair battle come one to one, with same amount of army and equal weapons and not jets, and you will see a result. just kidding, no one wants war and conflict,
So, girl, i dont see you as an enemy and have a great time in my country, just try to live as a resoonsible person and not like a pig that we Georgians have a lot also, that leave mess in streets and nature. dont leave garbage please in nature.
Long time viewer. Disappointed to hear you use the term "boomer attitude". My heart sinks when I hear someone I admire use the term boomer to denigrate every one of a certain age as if we all are the same. Age is something we have no power to change just like skin color, race, place of origin or sexual orientation.
It was not about the age, it’s about mindset and seeing Russia through stereotypes. Many people idealise Russia and believe that there’s some “Russian soul”, and that this country is a place to escape the “degenerate woke west”, and so happens it’s mostly elderly people who believe this. I agree it sounds offensive for the people of the “boomer generation”, I should’ve used another word but I don’t know which.
Ok Boomer and zoomer 😛
Seriously, just teasing ☺️🏳️
German also? That's nice. See you oneday in germany, your'e welcome 🤗🫖
Wow your Georgian pronunciation is good
My take on academic education as a requisite for a job: you definitely need a bachelor degree, but which one is not that important, unless you have a very specific job in mind. Choose something in natural sciences, humanities or arts (probably the latter two) and take it from there. If you want to continue to study in a certain field or struggle to get a very specific job, do a masters in that domain.
If you're not sure which EU country might be right for you, do a road/rail trip if you can get a Schengen visa. For young people, there is Interrail, which allows you to travel by train for some months for a couple of hundred Euros (better check that, my experience with it is rather dated). In any relevant city, there are rather cheap hostels. As for destinations, I'd recommend any country bordering the Baltic Sea, plus Norway and the Netherlands in summer, closing with Athens in autumn.

Hii , Natasha love from India 🇮🇳
Душнилово, какое-то.
Интересно, когда можно сравнить судьбы, которые выбирают люди. Например: "VLOG encuentro mi primer depto en Moscú".
You are so intelligent and talented. Thank you for sharing all these insights with us.
You are learning German?
Are coming to Germany eventually?
I would Like to Support you ( be your couchsurfing Host City Guide etc .
Hello Natasha! I think you are going through a lot. War and economic crisis is hard. Is not something personal (that you lack of something) is that you are going through a hard time. At such overwelming times, is difficult to have the air and energy that one needs to continue discovering oneself. A lot of russians are coming to Argentina and are happy here! I'm sure you will find your way.
You are a young woman still so you have so much time to decide what you want to do with life. Also you aren't useless in any way...
Love your unique style and editing.
Battery died and situation is falling apart. Let's capture every gory detail as you break down the tripod.
You and the other Russian TH-camrs you mentioned early should pool your resources and get one big house in Portugal and start a expat online job commune.
Hey,
I saw loads of shitty comments here and I know you dont need to hear this, but keep being strong! You are able to get successfully get over any challenge there is, if you want to.
Moving to a dif. country leaving family or friends (even if bad relationship) is hard. You did it tho.
I hope you will find a home and a place to rest be accepted and bloom!

Honestly I think the guilt is healthy. It is what I think most of us feel the majority of Russians lack. That means you are a good person. From visiting Georgia I have also seen first hand how Russian tourists treat Georgians like basically their slaves there for serving them. I was quite shocked to be honest, never seen anything like that anywhere before. I am certain you therefore are making Georgians see that there are good Russians, how ever few they might be.
Thanks
There are safe places and unsafe places in every country. US is not bad overall. Guns are not everywhere.
Thanks Natasha!
From Mexico: I enjoy your commentary and seeing Georgia through your eyes.
ამაზეა ნათქვამი "ძაღლი სახლში არ ვარგოდა, სანადიროდ გარბოდაო".

The part about you not understanding business etc. is interesting. I am older. I look at people now when I hear that I think ‘confusion is a choice.’ Your ‘confusion’ is your inability to focus on something that doesn’t interest you. That is natural. Why say ‘confused’? Then you are disrespecting your own intelligence. You clearly can do what catches your attention. Go with that. That is your mind-body reaction to trying something that is not a fit. The stress of ‘confusion.’ Don’t cultivate a neurotic self viewpoint. You are a high-feeling person. That is a wonderful quality and much needed in this world. It is NOT Marketing and Finance. Sooner you can learn to listen to yourself and not judge, the farther you can go. And DO listen to the fomo. Life is short and so is youth and health. Heed that call. But be who you are.
Georgia was the country in which Joseph Stalin was born. So I suppose Georgia is to Russia what Austria is to Germany since Hitler was born in Austria.
I teach English in Tsereteli and most of my students are from Minsk in Belarus or from Russia, they are all lovely people whose lives have been disrupted by Putin's 'Special Operations' in Ukraine. Love your channel.
People's lives in Donbas were also disrupted by the UK and US doing the coup in Ukraine in 2014 which led to the military operation against ethnic Russian in tge east of Ukraine.
@@Truffle_Young_Jr Sound like putin and his russian state media propaganda machine.
@Truffle_Young_Jr nothing to do with the UK 🤡
I hope you find your best place. It is hard and we love to hear from you. I see Dari went back to visit family and is having difficulties getting her passport back. So avoid Russia at all costs. You have studied German, so that might be a good move and Portugal sounds good as well. Use your excellent English. We love the channel and feel your pain. Don’t worry, no one understands academia, not even the academics. Thanks for the video and keep safe. Congratulations on the silver lining.
Last month I was in Tbilisi. It is a big city and there is a nice down town with a cable car to some statue. There are modern buildings like tubes and mushrooms. I came from Gori (Stalinmuseum) and Kutaisi with students protest. Later I went to Batumi on the Black Sea. Russia occupies some regions where I was not allowed to go.
If you had to choose - would you visit Kutaisi or Batumi again? Have a dilemma here
Go West young lady - many more opportunities for you in Germany or France for example!
Living in Georgia is not going to help you with a career - or opportunities!
Canada would be a great country for you to call home - opposite to Russia!
Your story about the georgian doctor speaking to you in russian reminded me that, I've had my shoulder relocated in france 3 times, and each time the medical staff wanted to talk to me in english, even though I was capable of conversing in french (albeit not as good as their english). The french are often known to hate speaking english in their own country, but if you just make some effort to charm them, it's amazing how much english they know. People are people at the end of the day. We all have a lot more in common than some would like to admit.
Wow. You're super smart and beautiful! :)
Welcome to Sweden, there are lot of different educations to choose from in lot of cities here. You as a " refugee " from Russia are welcome here, as well as the Ukraina refugees. Most here see nice persons from both countries.
It’s not so much a question, but don’t you feel a certain level of discomfort living in a country that was attacked by Russia not so long ago? Obviously a lot of Georgians have mixed or hostile feelings about the large Russian expat community there and about Russia in general. It’s just a very weird and uncomfortable scenario to me.
she addresses that in the video
I love your videos. They are very educational. I hope you find true happiness in your life.
When you call "Russian song" incident "Anecdote", it means nothing is understable for you! Educate yourself about your language!
I probably used the word “anecdote” here wrongly. I know it’s means “amusing story”. But sometimes I make mistakes in English, so I used the word “anecdote”, to mean “an incident, a story”. Of course, I know it’s very sensitive regarding the Russian language.
