VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA or why I want to escape the Far East (VLOG)

- Vladivostok is a city in the Far East of Russia, on the shore of Sea of Japan. This city is famous for its unique vibe, hills, the sea and traffic jams. In the video I will show you a little bit of the downtown, some outskirts, graffiti, the local lore Arsenyev State Museum and the Pacific ocean.
However, I'm concerned about future of this region because Moscow treats the Far East a colony and takes all the resourses, giving almost nothing back. The federeal government can do whatever they want, as it was with the arrested governor of the Khabarovsk krai, Sergei Furgal. Given all the unfairness of the Russian juridical system, people in Khabarovsk don't believe the accusations and they have been protesting in support of their governor for more than a month already. But Moscow doesn't seem to hear this. (Watch the video with explanation of protests in Khabarovsk here: • PROTESTS IN KHABAROVSK... )
About myself My name is Natasha, I live in the Far East of Russia in the city of Khabarovsk, but originally I'm from a small town Spassk-Dalny. Currently I'm studying Linguistics in a university in Khabarovsk. I like languages and learning about different cultures. On this channel I'm making videos about life in Russia, our traditions and my traveling in Russian cities. Subscribe to my channel, and let's explore Russia together!

Among my videos this one about Vladivostok is the most watched. Is it because this city is so popular with foreigners? Interesting observation, so here I can say that Vladivostok wins over Khabarovsk. (5 times more views!). But the video about Khabarovsk is interesting too, just saying.. :)
When I saw that North Korea has a border with Vladivostok, I become curious about Vladivostok and searched for it on TH-cam. That's how I found your video.
Keep uploading videos tovarishch. ^^
Thanks for your video. Trying to gather information on how livable Vladivostok is as It is a candidate destination for where my family and I will live in the future. Hope you can brush off any negativity you faced in your previous visit and do more updates in the future.
The central government and business owners in Moscow take most money that Far East of Russia away by taxing and collecting dividends so the frustration has grown against them. I learned a good thing.
the Far East of Russia isn't spoken about much in "the west". It's fascinating that this whole area exists, that Russians conquered it so long ago. It's great hearing personal perspectives, especially political ones.
@Jennifer Maple "there are of"??
The best part of the internet is seeing people from around the world realizing most people are cool.

@@stephanosnormandusdelacroi8570 Thank you. I agree. Most people here I think agree as well... My family is from Nova Scotia, they came here in 1776.. I believe. Somewhere close to there. I'm always happy to meet someone from French Canada.
Don't feel bad about your clothes, you have much more going for you than what you wear. At 21, you've studied abroad a year, visited Hawaii and California. Seen and done more than millions of students here in the US; You're very intelligent, beautiful and have a wonderful presence on camera. Keep doing what you love and you will find the perfect place to grow.
Well said
I agree with you. Natasha is a very attractive, well spoken and intelligent young woman. I love the way she speaks so forthrightly and honestly about how she feels about Russian life. I find her videos very informative.
There's and old expression, "Clothes don't make the man". Well clothes don't make the woman either :)
So don't worry about having fancy city fashion clothes Natasha! You are quite attractive no matter what you wear.
I think its amazing how authentic and honest she is. and she seems to be so kind-hearted. glad youtube threw this at me at random :)
@@takaetono6773 I am also happy TH-cam recommended this to me! I find this very refreshing. It is a window into another life! LOVE IT! Amazing how we are all so similar.
@@takaetono6773 good english too
As an American living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve always been fascinated by Vladivostok and the Russian Far East. Thank you for your tour and your interesting perspective.
That's been my feeling. BTW- I'm from Hayward, California- we are literally in the same area. I loved it, she showed us the true city. She went to Fruitvale. For non-Norcal, Fruitvale is is the low income part of Oakland. I've always wondered what this part of the world is really like.
I live in Chico and I've always wanted to travel the far east area and get to see the China-North Korea-Russia border. I know if you watch laoway 86, him and Winston traveled the Chinese North Korea border and it was absolutely beautiful in that region and I really want to check it out. I tried to track you down on Facebook as well and I couldn't find you.
I've always imagined Russia based on Moscow and nearby cities. Its amazing to see other areas, the fusion of soviet structures within todays Russia, lifestyle etc. your channel is amazing, I literally got a whole new perspective about Russia and Russian people. Good work.
Re.: "your channel is amazing, I literally got a whole new perspective about Russia and Russian people." So true; we in the US often think of Russian people as cold and unfeeling due to their oppression. Your candor and artistic presentation, fraught with your feelings, is a breath of fresh air, and forces a hopeful reevaluation.
The clothes you wear are not as important as the heart you have. You are an intelligent and gifted young lady.

She's a naive young Russian with a "grass is greener" complex. She's much better off staying in Vladivostock than moving a s**thole like LA, where she would have to pay $50l/yr to go to college or $2,000/mo for a small room in a part of town where she won't be mugged every month...
@@Citadin The United States treats her weak like a disease.
Much of the developed world is different. Not as rich in the extremes but far more caring for those who need it.
It will show when AI and robotics pick up and people start loosing the ability to compete for work with machines.
Russia is not a bad country but also, far from what is possible in term of administration and infrastructure aso.
If you come to America, you need to be strong. If you are not, this country is no place for you.
If you want to become strong however, you can just visit most of the wealthier parts of Europe or Japan and see how different systems deal with this issue.
They all have their problems but the USA is a country that has embraced selfishness and greed as some of her highest ideals and most people outside of the US will agree, that this is a rather strange basis to form a society above.
That’s not to say that all US-Americans think that way but enough to give the statement merit.
And while the USA boasts a huge market that has a very similar jurisdiction and few companies that would have to fear actual competition, the world is already catching up as the US fractures along her partisan politics, slowly loosing her international influence.
While nothing is written in stone, nor everyone has to live in a shitty apartment in LA if they leave their country to make their luck ;)
Sometimes, the grass really is greener on the other side.
@@Citadin she's not naive, life in Russia Is indeed depressing especially if you live in small / medium towns where nothing happens..... Plus the weather, she doesn't get vitamin D of course life is worse. No health care so on

Ask any Chinese, they will tell you China lost this big piece of land to Russia and it's a shame on them. That's why they have to get it back.
That one word keep playing in my head lol
Holy balls. That was heartbreaking listening to you talk about your clothes. Because you are so awesome and genuine in so many ways. I wanted to give you a big bear hug here from Miami.....
So proud of you and what you are doing in continuing to bring these videos to us! Thank you!
As an American, I constantly find these types of vlogs very insightful. Humanity around the world is pretty much the same. It's just the powers above never seem to have humanities best intentions.
The problem is that the powers that be are determined by old people,like me. We tend to be blind to the dreams and frustration of the young and afraid of the changes that are needed to make the world better.
It is much more complicated than that. The people above represent a good proportion of the people below. Also the above and below difference is not as well defined as we often make it out to be.
Yeah man some parts of Vladivostok could fit right into Poland, the architecture is eerily similar to my town. It's crazy to think that Russians put a European city right next door to Korea.
exactly, dude!
@@davemoss6976 Nah
Natasha don’t be bothered from your appearance you look so beautiful 😍 thank for showing Vladivostok to us! I always wanted to visit far east of 🇷🇺 Russia and now I can visit and see with your channel, thanks a lot 🙏 lots of love from turkey 🇹🇷
Merhaba esra
@Orobas Project no, your incorrect, and it’s childish for you to suggest it brings “shame” on you/her place of origin. That’s an incredibly selfish point of
View for you to think that someone wanting better for themselves is to bring shame on you and you should be ashamed for spending your time bothering a young woman
@Orobas Project and you want the best for no one
@Orobas Project she’s not from either of those actually
@Orobas Project no, I pay attention
Sorry to hear from your money troubles! Since I live in the poorest region of Spain, I can definitely relate to your issues - we have here the highest unemployment rates, around one fifth of all employable people, so to speak... but among the young adults (say, 25 years old or less) it's far more tragic - more than half of them are unemployed! I consider myself to be very lucky, as I managed to find (and so far, keep) a good job, but I have so many friends who struggle day to day to earn some money. That's why so many people in my region depend on some kind of Goverment subsidies to simply keep on living, and many young adults cannot leave their parent's home to became truly independent.
Nah its more you spaniards need to stop being lazy and picky about the job you do
I am a foreigner who only speak intermediate level of spanish. And had 5 jobs so far in barcelona alicante and almeria area 😂
There foreigner who dont even speak spanish and have a job in spain
Its just you guys dont really look for jobs in a true serious way
@@mathewvanostin7118 Well, good for you my friend! I wholeheartedly hope that you never run out of jobs, for as long as you decide to stay in our beautiful country.
But still, I wouldn't dismiss other people's struggles, or call it just play lazy or pickyness, just because I happen to not being struggling in the same way - which I'm not, since I have a good job as stated before, but alas, I can see the grass is not as green for everybody else, and is not always entirely their fault...
But you're right that some people have the luxury of choosing to be lazier or pickier than they would be in another countries, just because we have a quite nice safety net of Goverment subsidies...
So yeah, what you said is definitely true in some cases, but it is no in many others, and judging everybody by the same measure is doing a disservice to these others.
Thank you so much for such videos! They are incredibly valuable as many people all around the world can relate to you and your situation. Not only are you stunningly beautiful from the outside but also from the inside. Your cleverness and your humor round round up this picture and we can all be very happy to have found your channel. Best of success to you from Germany and never have I been more certain about someone making their way in life!
I hope TH-cam rewards you enough for you to keep going with your videos. THIS is real information. THIS is real, honest, authentic, genuine reporting of facts and life outside your own country.
I confirm that she really is honest)
You probably get this comment a lot, but I'll say anyway that I really like you having decided to include the bit from 15:50 to 16:26 in the video, even though you weren't feeling very good about yourself. I'm brazilian and I've felt exactly what you described so many times... I'm 25 right now and constantly feeling like I should be somewhere else, that I have no money to achieve dreams, etc etc. It's at least nice to think that it's just common to feel like that, specially when you are in your twenties and your surname is not Kardashian. Things will get better. Take care!
Hey, I'm your Argentinian brother. I met hundred of Brazilians in Australia. You can purchase a "cheap" course there in order to be granted a visa. When it's about to expire, you can get another one. They do that and stay in Australia forever. Also, check about Estonia. You can enter the country as a tourist, look for a job, if you get it, you can legally stay. There're many options, sometimes we're just misinformed. Don't give up!
Take a job or do your own company . Don't wait for someone else to "give you free loads " .....
@@attilathehun181 Do you realize that literally the same job is paid 10 times worse in Latam region compared to Europe for example? This has great impact for affording imported goods of any type that are made and priced for high income (europe, US, Japan, Canada, whatever). If you live in one of these you can afford anything on this planet easily, otherwise you have to work 10x the time if not more to afford something similar. You get a brand new and modern car in europe with 1 year's worth wage, in Brazil you'll probably afford only a motorbike with the 1 year's worth wage.
@@RedBull10812 This is the reason I had my own company . No one tells it will be easy like that but at least you work for yourself and can afford a better life .
I’m from the us and I feel the same way sadness!
Thank you for this presentation. It is always interesting to see other parts of the world outside the U.S.A.
I lived in Barnaul for two weeks, it was the best travel destination of my life. The apartments did not look nice on the outside, but inside was very nice. The friendliest people I have ever visited.
No need to be insecure about your appearance. I was actually admiring the jacket you were wearing! Your confidence is truly remarkable as well as your intellect. I see a very articulate, creative, inspiring creator!
I loved her jacket too! She is beautiful ❤️
Well said, just what I was thinking and with her excellent spoken English she could go far.
I agree! 👍
I was looking for that jacket in the Internet it looks really cool
@@momimu90 right? I agree.
It's funny how perception is. Like she felt self-conscious for her clothes, while me and many others were admiring them thinking they are beautiful or cool! 😊
I’ve learned more about Russia in the last week from you than school ever taught me.
US schools are famous for not teaching much of world geography :)
@@slouberiee your exactly right. I grew up in very country small town in Kentucky. My teacher prolly never herd of Russia. Haha. When you travel I guess you fly mostly? Or do you have spend a lot of time in car and train?
@@slouberiee I went to school in America, and we learned a lot of geography.
From Wisconsin and remember a fair amount of geography being taught in elementary school.
Ya it’s not as bad as it use to be.
You take us all on an adventure during your travel vlogs.
The immersion you create by sharing your joy, sadness, excitement and fear really make us feel less like a travelling companion and more of a friend.
I love how raw and honest this vlog is. lots of love
I'm always amazed by how large Russia really is, and it's very cool to hear the opinions of someone living in the far east. Love from Sweden!
You can take a ferry from Vladivostok to Japan or Korea, the travel time is just 16 hours.
@@alvinclitar631 Yeah it's pretty amazing how close Japan and Korea is to Russia. From Hokkaido I believe you can actually see parts of the kuril islands (which, depending on who you ask, is either part of russia or Japan).
@@alvinclitar631 about 4 hrs from Sakhalin by ferry🤗
Heja Sverige, grundaren av Viborg! :)
I remember once i flew from Copenhagen, Denmark to Beijing, China. Once in air we kind of relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. When we crossed the border to Russia i noticed to my travel partners to wake me up if they see some MIG fighters and fell asleep. When i woke up several hours later we were still over Russia - and stayed there for several hours to come.
Russia is BIG!
I can't get that Vladivstok song out of my head.
Listen to Vladivostok by the rock band Prism
"Vla-dee-vos-tok!" "Vla-dee-vos-tok!"
Its Alla Pugatjova who sings, she was very poplar even in Sweden in the 80,s!
I'm loving it lol.
Listen to "Vladivostok 2000" (Владивосток 2000) by Mumiy Troll (Мумий Тролль)
I really appreciate the way you present different places. Very engaging. Usually I just click to the next video if it's over two minutes, but I like to stay and watch yours. Great job!
Natasha, thank you for sharing your refreshing and wonderful adventures with us!
I’m American and I’ve been to Vladivostok twice. The first time I thought that it would be dull and boring, but to my great surprise, I actually had a wonderful time. It was great! I always tell people that of all of the places that I’ve been to, Vladivostok, surprisingly, is one of the places where I had the most fun. Though there were some sour people, most of the people were actually really nice. Good memories...
A buddy of mine that retired from the navy said the same thing. He was there in early 2000s.
so what fun was that, did you go to see vauxhall? are you planning to return to see it again? ;-)
Agree and I also need to notice that in the east people are friendlier and kinder, since it's much more diverse than the west, esp Vladivostok is full of asians, always full of tourists and is known as a student city, bc the biggest eastern university is located there, and it's very beautiful!
@@snowyoon , Vladivostok, what a beautiful city, never i saw a more beautiful city, it is so beautiful, i have to repeat it 10 time ---to belive it. Bullshit
@@sigridqwq5198 Illy is referring to the university; it is on Russky Island, and it is beautiful by any standard. Check out the youtube videos on it if you are genuinely interested.
Ok everybody lets get this nice girl a couple million subscribers so she can get to live the life she deserves! Anybody who can stand in ice water up to their waist just to take a cool photo has my respect! Best wishes from Chicago.
What about the rest of the people. They don't deserve a better life?
@@oskardumanski8538 Not if they have an attitude like yours...
@@justindupre7274 You know everything about me and therefore you could judge me wisely.
@@oskardumanski8538 I wasn't judging everything about you. I was judging that while people were encouraging a young creator with fresh content and a growing channel, you negated that encouragement with a seemingly caring comment about other people but the ultimate affect illustrated was contempt for this creators successful content and channel. With that observation I made of you, and I'm others have too, the majority of people that support these creators will see you as you are, on this subject anyway... a selfish, unhappy and not confident man trying to bring down a shining new talent because you aren't creating popular content, or you aren't even making any good content. You thought you made a small statement but often less is more. You may want to try and think more before you speak if you don't want to come off as you have, or if you want a youtube subscriber base that loves and encourages your success.
@@oskardumanski8538 Also I judged your haircut, that isn't helping you either.
Very talented, you will go places 👏 I like your commentary and perspective. The music on this video was hilarious to me 😂
Keep up the good work. It is fascinating to see your world through your eyes.
I'm Russian, just arrived to Vladivostok after living abroad for years and about to travel the country right from Vladivostok to Saint Petersburg. First time in the Far East, and so far it's great here! Really impressed by the city and people living here. I'm also making travel vlogs about my trips, and perhaps will pass by your city as well.
I watched your vlog about Vladivostok and really liked it! Subscribed :) It's so cool that you're going to travel through all Russia. Message me if you wanna meet up in Khabarovsk :D

A Brazilian look at the Russian economy and people. The Russian people are strong and warriors, this is the real reason why the Soviet Union has survived for so long!
Modern Russia is divided into two: European Russia and Far East Russia (Its people still live in the Soviet Union, but pay taxes to support Moscow's vanity).
Russia centralized power over the state; the State Government is a big mafia organized to benefit its members (It doesn't matter the country - The State is a mafia). The United States, Brazil also suffer from this problem... But as in every family, a good father (government) and a good mother (fair social laws) each country is heading towards prosperity!
Halloween? The first settlers arrived in the Americas, learned from the natives the herbs that heal and kill the body; but the Baptist Church USA, said: Only Jesus can heal! Burn the witches, understand? Religion, The history of settlers in America, The land and its natural wealth, cultural diversity... You can have 1000 Nobel Prizes in a country without government support, natural resources the country does not grow... Brazil is second Richest country in the Americas, but with an unfair distribution of income!
Brazil is the third largest producer of commercial aircraft in the world (100% Brazilian technology - Currently it has entered into a partnership with Airbus Americana in the production of executive jets and helicopters). Largest mining company on the planet (Bought the 2nd Australian), largest food producer in the world; Brazilian currency is worth 15 times the value of Russian money. 73% of all potable water on earth and has all the elements of the periodic table, 3 times the raw material production compared to the USA. GDP USA 4.3 Trillion, GDP of Brazil 4.8 trillion.
What is Brazil's problem: Too many thieves in power (Governmental Mafia) is what kills Russia and Brazil. 10Kg of Tio João brand rice is sold at Walmart USA for $2.70 dollars and in Brazil $1.00 for 1Kg knowing it was produced in Brazil! The working hour in the country is less than that of Thailand (75% GDP less than Brazil). The Brazilian is dumb!

I only found your channel today. I do not know if you will even read this, but I have watched three videos so far and I am absolutely blown away at how good you are at presenting your topics! Your command of the English language is exemplary but I am far more impressed at how broad a knowledge base you have!
I do not know what you are studying, but I am confident you will be amazing at what you do!
Also fantastic camera work by Natasha .🎥👱♀️👍👍👍😉
Totally agree with you. Just discovered this channel a few days ago and I am fascinated by this well spoken, intelligent young woman. It still amazes me to hear Russians speaking critically of their government. I am not sure that is a good idea. I guess one must be impressed with their courage to do so, especially on TH-cam. I will be looking forward to studying her previous videos to learn more about her impressions of her country.
Same here I've just discovered her channel too well presented I'm enjoying what I see all the best.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing your travels.
You are really a special person. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Intelligent, deep thinker, witty, and, by a stroke of luck, possessed of great beauty; you don't need "fashions", you *are* the trendsetter

Agreed!
I'd tip my fedora if I had one

Been to Delhi ..... it’s a shithole of a place ..... whole families hanging off the back of a motorcycle and living under a carpet over a rope tied up between two trees or posts .... the poverty is appalling and the gap between the rich and the poor is obscene, Highway Code is nonexistent and driving without a hired local driver is extremely dangerous.
@@flyingfox7854 How was the rest of India?
@@solvingpolitics3172 exciting but dangerous, the sights (except for the poverty everywhere) sounds and people were amazing, the Taj Mahal exceptionally so, but the dirt,dust and general rubble was around everywhere we went.
And most of the people taking a piss anywhere in the streets was very off putting in broad daylight, I know that this also happens in our countries but it’s usually the drunken larger louts and such in the city and town centres to which I must confess I don’t really frequent much these days.

Hello Natasha, I have just started to watch you and I am very glad that TH-cam reccomended your channel to me. You are such a bright young woman, you observe and think about your country and your daily life and you try to educate yourself more and more. I know things might look depressing from time to time but I hope and believe that one day you will become one of the policy makers of your country and lead people for better.
Love from Turkey❣
Like these Vlogs very much. Stumbled over this blog by accident but find it very interesting. Subscribed.
Your posessions don't define you, your achievements and dcency do. You are someone who has achiewved a lot and who is very decent, and you ought to be proud!
Dont feel insecure, possessions don’t define you, your channel is great.
well it's not about possessions, it's about her not being able to express herself. political situation in russia is so sad
Her channel is 100% great! We appreciate to get a view inside of Russia. And I hope she will be a happy person. She is a beautiful and smart woman. I plan to make a trip to the area. I have been to Japan many times. But I am considering to fly Sapporo Japan to Vladivostok and maybe visit her home town or fly to the coldest city in earth Yakutsk ❤️❤️😋😋✌️✌️ I need to learn some Russian!
@@shinmalphur9214 Allow me to disagree. I can remember the coup against the Ukranian government in 2014...many naive ppl tought that if they overthrow the president supported by Putyin, things gonna improve for the better. Now Ukraine is still the poorest country in Europe, the government is full of foreigners and western spies, the economy is looted by western investors, and the country is striken by enormous emigration to the West and to Russia, too. Putyin is at least a smart nationalist, if he will be followed by a western puppet government, the same thing will happen to Russia (just like it was before Putyin) I am saying this as someone living in the "West".
Politics is not about choosing from good and bad rather from bad and worse.
@@zsoltpapp3363 first of all people will never be happy. We will always want more and more. Thats why there are a lot of unhappy people in west and yet they live way better than russians or afrikans. About Ukraine well there is 3 major factors why Ukraine is so poor:
1 After every revoliution there would be economical decline. It takes time to change rulling and economical system. It takes time to normalize countrie after revolution. And economy hates instability.
2 Ukraine was super depended on Russia. Its wasnt a bad thing to be fair. I mean every EU member depends on each other. Problem is when those ties are broken.
3 Russia ignited war in Donbass. Further destabilized Ukraine. Ukraine has to spend milions on army and they also lost part of country. War in Ukraine also made Ukraine look bad and people dont want to invest in Ukraine.
@@zsoltpapp3363 Good post
You are doing a wonderful job presenting the actual locations and giving realistic impressions. Also you style of making films is great and you do not need fancy cloth for standing out! I much admire you for not getting depressed in these city environments and hope you escape them some days. Warmest wishes from northern BC Canada!
You are so sweet. Thank you for investing time and care into this channel!
Don't worry about what type of clothing or how much money you have. Your life experiences will matter much more in the long run. Seeing as how you have traveled quite a bit, and only being 21 years old, I would say that you are on the right track. Hope you have better days ahead.
I agree. She has many fine qualities and is a very intelligent and well spoken young lady.
Strange to think that there is Hesburger so far away from Finland, only 130 km from North Korea.
I live in Vladivostok. But when i am abroad, I always tell people that I am from Finland.))) We are very far away from each other but feel pretty close..
We have them in Bulgaria too.
I demand to have Hesburger restaurants in the UK. I somehow think Finnish burgers will be better quality for some reason.
@@jonathanwarner1844 Well I don't think they're really better quality than McDonald's for example. But they're different in that they have lots of different tasting mayonnaise in them, some people love that(I do), some don't.

The best fashion is confidence, intelligence, great personality, and health.
@Orobas Project What a sad outlook. I didn't get that at all. I watched the whole thing and enjoyed the way she showed this beautiful place.
You seem quite biased and abusive with your statement. If you believe you are a truer representation of your country then it has something fundamentally wrong with it down deep. Frankly I believe a flippant comment like your misdirected view of this young girls supposed shameful transgression against her country is low and deplorable.
If you and her are both showing what your country has to offer then I choose her Russia.
Yours can go to hell.
@Orobas Project I never claimed to be from Russia or even to know the first thing about your cultural perspective. I stand by my previous statement because it still stands. She is showing me a perspective of your country in a way I enjoy seeing it. From the street as a pedestrian would.
Reading your comment left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Your sentiment she is lying to us and is disgracing herself or her country in some way seems very over critical. How is she lying. Just what about what she has shared here is a disgrace? I am curious why you think as much.
I feel like watching more of her videos now to explore just what it is she is saying that stirs you up so much. I just don't see it in this one.
@@cerberus50caldawg а что она соврала, конкретно? :)) Все сказанное соответсвует тому что в реале, и даже достаточно в мягкой форме сказано. Немного негативный оттенок и критичный, по мне так достаточно наивный, вот и все. Что касается к паримеру Фургала, я имею мало инфо о нем , потому не поддерживаю ни ту ни другую сторону. Так как много вранья политики вещали, нет веры ни кому из них.
@Orobas Project Agree. One should be patriotic.
@Orobas Project you seem very jealous. Is that true??
You are a very honest, respectful young lady! Your channel is wonderful, please keep posting, it’s magical learning about your vast country. Please keep safe and healthy! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.
This is a wonderful video. It is one of your best. Keep doing what you are good at. Everything else will fall into place.
As I have watched you over the last year I have totally fallen in love with everything about you!
As a brazilian, I completely understand your sad and hopeless feelings about your country. It's really difficult to live in a place where you feel you cannot grow and develop.
Love your channel!
Haha..Deluded. Russians are very grown up and developed. In fact you will not come across the likes in an another country.
you can grow and developed in your own Country,you just have to try harder,name the place of easy developing, USA?,at least in Russia it's not all based on money,or you meant, developed as to become absurdly rich?
@@iigormeltser9058 Every country who has free market is easy developing. I can't talk about Russia, but in Brazil try harder doesn't apply because you need luck. Even if you have good education in most cases you will not get a job, and most of the jobs doesn't pay well to live.
@@FunkykappaCat what you want to develop, your personal wealth, good luck mate,you have to suck a hole lot of unpleasant thinks,develop personally,and help your community, it's different, what Putin does,he want for everybody to be comfortable.
HI Helena, my heart goes out to you and many who are experiencing the same. I live in the US, this pandemic has made things worst for all of us. I wish you all the best in your future travel. Un Amigo en Texas ciao
Let the insecurity go. Lovely home, that seems the product of a lovely family. Have fun your gunna do great
I agree
Thanks for Your great trip to Vladivostok. You are a perfect guide. I thoroughly liked Your video and am looking forward to see more interesting places in Russia with You. :)
13:59 The way you cut from the sound of the crow to that amazing music is _genius!_ ❤️
Adorable girl. Honest, refreshing.
This was weird, I live in Budapest, Hungary. The buildings are so similar that you could have walked around in Budapest. Not just the soviet buildings but older historical buildings too.
WHAT life you living
And all of the sudden a typical Japanese car crosses by 1:30
Yeah, Vladivostok looks like almost every Port city England! What she calls "Soviet High-rise Apartments" we just called "Brutalist architecture" and pretended that we were enjoying the fruits of capitalism. It's amazing how much I believed the official government line before the internet came along (I probably still do, but not to the same extent).
@Orobas Project you again. It must have taken you a while to rewrite the same thing over and over again. Have anything better to do
@@user-qk2iy8ke3d In America they called them "the projects" in NY and Chicago. I'm torn about how I feel about them. On one hand they were and are affordable housing which is in short supply here in the US. On the other hand they functioned as warehouses for people more than homes. But compared to sleeping in tents and garbage bags on the sidewalks and under bridges, I would prefer more of these high rises.
Loved this video. Thanks
Really appreciate what you shared.
This has inspired me to relearn Russian, as I'd got quite good when I lived in Finland and knew many Russians from the Soviet era who had moved there. Russian is such a beautiful language born of huge history and long civilisation. Thank you for these videos! :-)
Thank you! I like how you share your feelings and moods openly, it gives a more real and vivid sense of life there in person.
I have just discovered this video and you.. I am an American and been looking at travel to Europe and Russia.. I currently have a trip plan into Europe for March.. This video and the way you have put it together is amazing and very informative.. I learned a lot.. And I am excited to watch the rest of your videos now.. And your English is very good.. Makes it so much better to enjoy these hidden back streets of this city. Thank you 😊
All of your videos are interesting!! And it is relatively easy to deduce that you are very intelligent. I hope that all of your endeavors are a success. You are going to accomplish great things in your life.
Vauxhall actually is a name of the southern distric in London. When Tzar came in to visit british monarch he thought "Vauxhall" is literally the way british do call railway station; hence this term is used in russian language till today.
Wow! Thats so interesting. Ive been learning Russian for several years and remembered the word воксал by think of Vauxhall cars. I had no idea that they originated from the same place! :D
Kind of makes sense, seeing as it contains the word 'hall'. Vaux could be train.
That's a myth, the reason why the Russian word for 'station' is 'vokzal' is because the place where the first Russian railway station was opened was near the local Vauxhall Gardens (at that point emulating the actual Vauxhall Gardens from the UK was popular among European countries), and the name just kinda stuck from there on.
I've heard a totally different story and I think it's more plausible (I'm not sure that the Tsar ever visited England, just for a start): in the 19th century, Russia was a VERY backwards country compared to Western Europe, like still almost medieval in many respects while Europe was at the height of the Industrial Revolution, but the Tsar wanted to modernize the country. Russia was building its first railways and the Tsar sent a delegation to England, which was the superpower of the time, to study their railways. London had just opened a new train station at Vauxhall and it was the most modern of its time. The Russians were so impressed with it that they couldn't stop talking about it when they came home. Since they wanted Vauxhall Station to be their goal of excellence, the name ended up sticking.
Vauxhall was an entertainment garden in the Kennington area of London in the late 1600s, 1700s and closed in 1859. It featured various performers including tightrope walkers, sideshows, musicians, plays, and almost any type of entertainment. Lots of new venues picked up the name and it's spread to unrelated functions.
That song is in my head - 🎼Vla Di Vos Tok!🎼
Yew Seng Cheong I was just going to make the same comment. 😂
Very interesting! Thank you for the tour!
Thanks NATASHA!we were in Vladivostok in 2001 loved it ! Your video brought back many memories. Keep up the good work.
this is so interesting. its like a window to a whole other world. a world I d otherwise never get to see.
would I ever have the idea of looking up vladivostok? lol. no. no way. I had no idea it existed and I didnt care. Now I know and I care! Thank you Natasha!
The subway is so clean, in paris or berlin it"s just horrific, graffiti and dirt everywhere
I was in Paris in 2001 then again in 2019. It made me so sad/angry to see how much worse the city is.
Wanna guess why
"joys" of multi-kulti
@@liveforever141 Power of Diversity.
And in Paris: unsafe
I have just found your channel , it's very interesting, thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching more of your videos 😊
I really enjoy your videos because you show me things and places I will never be able to see. Please keep it up because you’re doing a superb job.
Sometimes hard to comprehend that in Russia one has to travel 5 hours by express train to get to neighboring cities.
I think there is only one express train route in Russia - from Moscow to St. Petersburg. All other trains are pretty slow, top speed will be around 90 km/h. Russia is totally not like China with its 350 km/h trains.
@@SLowRiderDima false, check on Lastochka trains
Yea thats nuts for me its litterally impossible to get lost there are towns and villages everywhere and when i have to travel for like 15 minutes its considered long
I saw your presentation on the University life in Khabarovsk first and then have been looking at your other videos as you seem to give a very thoughtful presentation on life and culture that i have seen in few other sources. Also, if i keep listening to you, i might learn the Cyrilic letters and the proper pronunciation of Russian. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. I think that Vladivostok is a wonderful fusion of all the cultures that surround it, but it was wonderful to see your eyes on the ground approach and see the cultural people and little byways and things and the discussion of the political climate which a student would have concerns about as it is also part of the future. And i liked the theme music on this presentation.
I just bought a Vostok watch. I'm glad to learn what the name means! You do a great job choosing interesting content for your videos.
Very genuine and honest personality, i like your vlog
" we have many resources but moscow has many forces" that was really sad.
Really well stated!!!
Its the oligarch!
Sounds like Alberta Canada has many resources, but Ottawa has many forces
@@mtlicq i mean its like that everywhere even in the U.S. in the end Washington D.C. has the forces
@@MrTimodon Its central government. It how it works in most places, including Europe, tax all regions and money then dispensed from the capital. Khanty Mansiyk would be the richest region in Russia without taxation, but that money also supports poorer regions.
Amazing coverage. You’re a very sweet hostess and tour guide. Every time I learn something new about Russia, I’m more amazed and interested in visiting Russia. Thanks for the great information.
Your fashion is on point. No explanation should be necessary.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing.
This is a great walking tour, Natashia (From Texas, I'm new to your videos and am really enjoying them!) I particularly like your "panning shots" across the scenery and your explanations/translation for Russian words. It's interesting to learn how Vladivostok got its name, for example. Keep these great vids coming.
It literally means Rule-East. Vladi-vostok. Vladimir = Rule-world
Watching from South Africa and we very impressed with your work. Your,honesty,passion and professional approach make your channel truly amazing. I love geography and I've learnt so much about Russia than ever before. This is the best TH-cam subscription I've ever made. Please stay safe as you can
Thanks for doing such an honest down to earth info blog
Thank you for the interesting tour.
Thank you for the interesting video - I have always kind of been curious about the Russian far east.
Keep doing what you're doing. You're very authentic, make decent videos and your English is very good. I think there are plenty of people in the English speaking world who are curious about Russia and find you quite relatable.
Your English vocabulary blows my mind. You are well spoken even by native English speakers. Very, very impressed.
This young girl being so smart at such age, I am amazed, my head was in my ass when I was that young 😅
Still is.
@@gregorteply9034 wow...
@@gregorteply9034 laughing like a drain. I was just about to post the same.
She’s an adult woman not a young girl. How demeaning
@@wavell14 not demeaning, I don’t mean it in any bad manner
Thanks for taking us on tour and background info.
I was always curious about Vladivostok. Thanks for your excellent video.
As a foreigner living abroad for 5 years I can totally relate to this feeling of being stuck at a place that does not support much growth as a 20 year old dreaming of a brighter future. 10 years after I have managed to achieve things that would be crazy dreams. Never stop dreaming and never give up! Any educational opportunity you come across and hard work is key to succeeding. Wishing you all the best, your channel is amazing!
You are very very gorgeous young lady .I would love to meet you in person one day show you my hometown .the city of champions
Massillon ohio. About 75 miles from Cleveland an 20 miles south of the rubber city akron ohio.
Just let me know if ever want to visit my state of ohio.
You very very awesome person seems like it in this video.
"VLADIVOSTOK, VLADIVOSTOK"
Me: 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
Bulshitt
I wish you all the best,lovely interesting videos lol
I'm really enjoying your videos. They have szprodj...!
you seem so intelligent , thank you fo the video
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. Your English is excellent and I enjoyed your presentation. It's so strange to see such a European city, but then to remember that this city is near North Korea and Japan and actually quite far from Europe.
You did a really great job with this video and I learned in immense amount about the far east and Vladivostok. I hope you are doing okay with everything and I wish you the best
Thanks , I really enjoyed my virtual travel to Vladivostok....you do a great job !
