Many people pointed out that it’s not my first time in Europe, because I visited Moscow and St Petersburg. And they’re right, because geographically, Europe is everything that extends east all the way to the Ural Mountains. But I rather meant this division into Western and Eastern Europe, implying that Montenegro is in Western Europe. But then I found out that there is also the concept of “southern Europe”, and Montenegro refers more to this😄 So I am confused, but I can still say that this is my closest experience to Western Europe, because Italy is just across the sea, and I paid in euros! Anyway, thank you for the warm comments and the interesting info your share. I will keep it up, and have a nice day everyone!
We in the EU think of them as both Southern and Eastern Europe. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Belarus, and Ukraine are “extra” Eastern European. (I’m Danish - nice to see a video from you again!)
In my view Montenegro is still Eastern Europe. Yes, Russia is, partially, in Europe, but common sense is, you referred to first time in Europe outside your country. I am in Europe and if I visited some other Europe countries, it was a visit, well, in Europe, possibly for the first time. :) It doesn't matter too much, don't bother with that.
Sorry, Ruzzia isn’t Europe. Maybe technically, but not in any other way. Similar to how Mordor is in Middle Earth, but not it any other way connected to it…
Europe is much more diverse than the purely political division established after 1945 would suggest. In fact, we can talk about several Europes: Western Europe, Scandinavia, Central Europe, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe refers to the area where Orthodox Christianity dominated, the division does not result from political but cultural conditions, because politicians die and culture lasts and it determines how we perceive reality, determines our tastes and temperament. Montenegro is the Balkans, i.e. the eastern part of Southern Europe
Natasha, I am a retired American journalist, with a career spanning newspapers, magazines, broadcast and internet. I have been watching your content for a couple of years, and admired your work as you developed your skills. I hope that attending the conference for young journalists in Montenegro was enlightening and inspiring. But in talking about the conference you referred to yourself as just a TH-camr; you are more than that. You need to understand that although you work for yourself and publish on TH-cam, you are very much a journalist. Your videos are personal documentaries, with observations on culture, politics and history. You have a natural skill as a storyteller and commentator, and your handheld camera work is raw and instinctive. You have taken your audience on a journey through Russia and beyond, with you as the central character. Keep up the work, and don't denigrate yourself. What you are doing is important, and you do it well.
Very true, that is where most mainstream media outlist fail. Because you don't get the raw emotions of a avrage person on the street in everyday life. Independed journalists is very important for every day people.
Here in America, several times over the last week I have seen TV documentaries, news programs and read in a smallis print newspaper discussion on the topic of Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech in America. We are considered the country that championed the fight for those freedoms and yet, we are still dealing with forces that are trying to silence voices of dissent and demands for accountability of government officials. From small town city officials to judges and federal elected members of congress, we find journalists and reporters dealing with harassment and censorship because they are speaking truths and unveiling corruption. This is not a struggle that will be resolved in our lifetime. Currently, about 70% of the world's population is under an authoritarian rule of some form. However, Natasha, you and your fellow reporters, bloggers, journalists and seekers of truth must continue your fight to bring to light all the issues that are important to all free people. We need you and I thank you for sharing with us your stories, your view of the world. I really appreciate seeing the world through your camera lens.
Hi. I already commented 4 hours ago but have just watched this video again and was impressed by the short part starting at 11:33. I love the way you (Natasha) pull out of that street shot and we are now looking at your laptop on the plane and you continue talking about language for a while and then zoom back in to the laptop to another street view. That was very clever and fun Natasha. Great editing. Great creativity.
I'm glad someone else commented about this! The editing in that part was fantastic! Thank you for continuing to share your thoughts and adventures with us Natasha!
Indeed, aside from my long-standing appreciation for your work and shared perspectives, I enjoy seeing your graphic design skills develop. I look forward to watching more! Stay safe, let your ambitions continue to grow and just be YOU.
I like all of your work and I must admit, I have been a little impatient for you to provide more. I love your exploration of languages and cultures. Be safe. Be happy.
You mean propaganda? Cause that women is paid to say what ever pro west propaganda media wants in exchange of $$$ and opportunities Its very dishonorable that people like her are ready to betray their country for money. Those are the worst kind
As a Ukrainian who speaks Ukrainian and Russian fluently and has Slovak roots, I can understand a lot in Slavic languages. And sometimes it is surprising and funny when similar words have opposite meanings. For example in Czech “voňavka” means perfume, but “вонять” in Russian means to stink.
And in croatian vonj is an archaic word, the modern one is miris, it usually has a negative conotation, it is used for stink, but in dalmatian dialect, and ćakavian in general it is just smell, can and is used as a positive word, but ofc csn be also used for nrgative. What she asked in her video, yes we have many words that are atchaic here but are used in other slavic languages, that's like in every country. What is special here in cro us that we have many dialects, three main ones, that differ more than some slavic langguages all together, and each of them preserved different old slavic words in everyday use, so the people like me who due to circumstances have wider knowledge of vocsbulary from all three have much better understanding of other slavic lgges just becsuse there's much bigger fund of the words than you'd find only in croatian standard, mind you that is the standard, but all dialects no matter how different are considered as croatian language, and they wary a lot, a person from the island of korčula can dock in the port of split and be completely uninteligible for the locals, no matter they generally come from the same dalmatian dialect, on the other side - it's always fun with that, and you can't conceal where from are you, which region and even the city, it's in your speech.
@@SrdjanBasaric-w2s ofc they are, but normally they mixed with the locals when they got here, different ilirian tribes, that are considered generally of celtic or as they say in this part of europe gaelic group, tribes like histri in istria, liburni bit lower, delmati in nowadays dalmatia, in slavonia sciavi and bunch of other tribes, in the middle mountainous part illirians and so on, but then there was a number of invaders from all sides and settlers during different empires, so we are mixed a bunch like any other nation in europe, one thing that is characteristic that we assimilate other nations well into our culture, i have in my extended family german, hungarian and czech minorities, they all consider themselves croats first and their minority second, my brother in law is half german half hungarian, he's bigger cro nationalist than i ever was, so yeah we are slavic people, but due to being a small nation always amidst bigger empires and rulers, we had big emphasis on preserving our language and culture, and our parliament, we fought alot with the habsburgs, and hungarians to preserve our statehood and our parliament during that empire, and being declared "vojna krajina", what would be translated as "military province" due to the border with ottomans, we had certain perks a lot of other nations in the empire didn't get at least not lightly, we had more self governance, and our peasants used the military service to escape from servitude into freemen, so oddly enough peasants in the western calmer part ended up being serves much longer than here in slavonia, well at least until the 1573 and the great peasant rebellion in northwestern croatia and slovenia, when they had it enough, anyways lots of history in a small place, but yeah we are proud slavic nation and proud of all other ingredients that made us stronger. If you ask about the skin type, then yeah we are slavic and paler than serbs, montenegrins or bulgarians, or hungarians for that matter although they are not slavic, but we are bit more north too, and more mixed with central europeans and less with southerners, except ofc in the south especially the islands, where the mix with italians is a given, but they are also pretty pale for mediterraneans, my mom is a dalmatian, my dad slavonian, she's at least two shades paler than him, i mean they are similar in winter, but he can get a tan in summer, she can't at all no matter being a southerner, so it all varies, but for all needs and purposes yeah we are slavic af, we are mixed a lot but preserved more than many other slavic nations due to our complex historical circumstances, from language and culture i mean, we use slavic names for the months of the year, afaik only poles and ukrainians do that too and such things, old myths and legends and so on.
International collaboration is so very important for all the reasons you showed. Keep up the good work Natasha. It's been encouraging to see you go from for-fun/light hearted videos to more serious and current event relevance. I won't be surprised when I see you on a much broader stage.
She just wants to get to the UK or the US. I suggest just going directly. The sooner she does, the quicker she'll realize things are no different in those places.
I really enjoy your videos. I'm a 66 year old man from Florida, USA. You give me an honest, unbiased view from someone on the other side of the globe that I have come to trust and respect. Keep it up Natasha!
I wouldn't say she's unbiased, she very clearly and openly has contempt for the Russian government, this is only natural as a human, whilst I believe journalism should always be unbiased, for the position she is in one cannot place blame upon Natasha for her views.

Thank you for providing us a glimpse of Montenegro. I am happy to see that you are doing well and expanding your knowledge of your craft and other interests. I think that you are a young woman with strong character of open mindedness and critical thinking which brings much value to your work. Please keep it up. Greetings from US.
@@Palimbacchius I don't begrudge anybody the right to hate their own corrupt government but if you think Russia is evil and the USA is good, I'd ask an Iraqi, a Haitian, a Nicaraguan or even an African American. You might learn not to think in simplistic terms.
@@stanleyrogouski "If". That's a simplistic fantasy you've pulled out of your own arse: I have no idea why you should accuse me of it. What I think is wrong is great powers interfering in the affairs of their neighbours, politically or militarily: the USA is worse than Russia here, since it has a longer reach, not just confined to its own back yard.
Natasha, the day 3 of this month I saw a girl in Podgorica's airport and I thought "this girl looks like Natasha from the TH-cam". And now I just watched your video about Montenegro and realised that the girl I saw was really you 😂. If I would have realised on that day I would have asked for an autograph! I have been watching your videos since time ago and I really enjoy them, thanks for everything 😄
@@MasterMalrubius Have you visited the Mausoleum of Njegos designed by Ivan Mestrovic in Lovcen National Park? The view of Kotor Bay from the top of Jezerski Vrh is breathtaking.
Great to see your latest work, Natasha, I had begun to worry a little. Glad you got to visit a new country, and amusing that, to you, it seemed like “nothing is happening” there. You are so articulate and bring a great depth to your content. Please enjoy your travels and I hope you continue to meet other professional colleagues so you can realize more and more how excellent your work is. Thank you
Hi Natasha, congratulation!!! you have 371 thousand subscribers 31 plus million views, you are now a journalist on your own self. enlightening and inspiring peoples around the world💙💙💙
Hi Natasha, it's cool that you're interested in languages. I'm a translator living in Czechia and I love languages and lingustics. Right now I teach Czech to Ukrainean refugees who found refuge in our country. Actually, I meet Poles from time to time and we always laugh a lot comparing our languages 🙂 Not only that some words sound funny to each other but a lot of words are the same but with completely opposite or at least different meaning.
Loved everything about this video, Natasha. It has such a "stream of consciousness" vibe about it, yet I know from experience putting it together must have been _much_ more work than that. Your audio, lighting, color balance, and linguistic/context anecdotes speak volumes about this work. As others have indicated in these comments, you're already doing journalistic work, but I'm glad this event provided focus in that direction. Journalism is a tough thing to do well, but I think you've managed it amazingly well. Greetings from the US. 👍
Thank you Natasha for sharing your life with us. I enjoy listening and seeing your perspective on things which happen around you. I look forward to watching your next video.
Ohhh natasha ive missed your posts your such a unique character, i love your insight into other countries and cultures, take care always ...lee in the 🇬🇧
Very good video. So nice to see you again. You look so healthy and relaxed since moving out of Russia. I wish you well and look forward to future videos.
Good to have you back, your insights are always fascinating and unexpected. The world needs continual reminders that Russian ladies are not all loathly like Margarita and Scabby Olga.
You're video journalism is always informative 👍 and captures a wide variety of information within. From language to social atmosphere and economies that bring a lot of information to account for. You're doing great.
I've really missed seeing you and am glad to watch this video Natasha. Looks like it was a very interesting trip to Montenegro and it was good to learn about the media program you participated in. I also enjoyed you walking around Podgarica explaining the similarities and differences with their language and Russian. It reminded me of your early video when you walked around Spassk-Dalny teaching us about the Russian alphabet. Another good one. Thanks Natasha.
This was such a good video. The subject matter, the editing, and your own personality all worked together perfectly. I learned so much about a variety of interesting and important topics, and I really look forward to seeing what is ahead of you in the future. And I'm glad you got to travel and visit a new country!
So nice to see another of your interesting, informative, and insightful videos, Natasha. Glad you could travel to a new country and found the journalism seminar useful. Look forward to your next upload! 😊
Natasha you are a journalist, not "just a TH-camr". Your reporting is raw, honest and engaging. Keep up the good work and natural development of your craft. Stay safe from the orcs et al. Off topic I love those leather/bead necklaces you wear they really suit you. Much love from Canada.
Really interesting video and I'm glad you got to travel a little, and use Euro currency for the first time. Hope you have many more travel opportunities into other European countries in the future Natasha.
Reminds me of the similarities between Dutch and German. And many of the English vocabulary and German share very similar word sounds called cognates. I am an old man, but I am encouraged by your courage. Courage is acting despite worrying or being afraid.
@@customfantasyhotwheels unless you are Ukrainian or Iranian and did participate in actually changing your country at your own peril this is just macho keyboard warrior bullshit. What have you done with your platform besides some apolitical clips about toy cars? 😂
@@customfantasyhotwheels Fleeing the country takes courage. You're leaving a lot of your life behind to enter a very uncertain situation. Do you know what doesn't take courage? Staying in Russia and complying with the system.
It’s a wonderful thing that you’re surviving well outside of your country while it’s currently destroying itself. You can still have a great life. Stay healthy and happy. ❤
That's pretty funny since the country evidently being destroyed is Ukraine. What comes to mind is the Vietnam era refrain that 'we had to destroy the village to save it'.
The cut sequence at 11:38 was absolutely master-class. Bravo! Plus, your voice and the overall audio is really chill and relaxing. Thank you for that, and for sharing your experience and thoughts.
Coming from a rather tiny country myself (Denmark), I we have learned that we need to work together with our neighbors and partners to achieve peace and prosperity. I believe this encourages diversity and increases mutual respect. Since we're also a limited population (just around 5 million), not all TV shows are dubbed and not all books are available in our own language. This means more motivation for learning the languages shared between our neighbors - in our case, English, Swedish, Norwegian and German - and as such a better understanding of the World beyond our own borders. In terms of military defense, size doesn't matter since we're a part of larger defense alliance.
It's just a bunch of silly justifications for some brainwashed girl. My advice to her is to just buy a ticket to the western nation of her choice. Go. Experience, then return home.
Hi Natasha! I'm from Poland, had Russian in high school and you're right - some words are very deceitful. For example, Russian "неделя" means "week", Polish "niedziela" means "Sunday". Russian "запоминать" means "to memorise", Polish "zapominać" means "to forget". You can clearly say these used to be the same words, but then somewhere along the way the meanings have changed.
Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian/Montenegrin/etc "nedelja/недеља" means "week" AND "Sunday" 😀but you can also say "sedmica/седмица" and "tjedan" (only Croatian) for week. Some of those differences stem from the fact that some words used to have two meanings, like krasno/красно which had the meaning of "Red" and "Beautiful" and now only means red in Russian and beautiful in South Slavic Languages. Some other differences arise from a drift of the meaning of a word (jagoda), taboos or simply because those words didn't use to exist in the common ancestor and were therefore either newly created or borrowed from another language.
Glad to see you again, Natasha. I think your going to this conference was a great idea. Your description and dissection of events, some politics, and social issues of Russia were well done. Now, they'll be even better. Good luck to you.
Missed you! Happy to see you still have your very own opinions and want to connect with like minded people in this world. I hope vlogging on TH-cam will offer you the chance to make a decent living that you are comfortable with. So true the quote “ War is not healthy for children and all living things! “🙋🏻♀️💖🌎
Thank you Natasha, we have been watching you for the last 18 months... vlogs from everywhere, Vladivostok, Tashkent (with Konstantin)... great work in Montenegro. Best Wishes & every success - Rozana & Carl 🇦🇺 🦘
Wow so good to see you and hear you again. I was in Warsaw 2 weeks ago at Chopin airport i could have walked past you. You are an amazing human Natasha so brave ,so understanding ,so kind. Take care be safe .
At 13:10, there is a monument dedicated to the Slovenian poet, France Prešeren, the author of "Zdravljica". Part of this song is now the Slovenian anthem, which is very relevant to current events. "God's blessing on all nations Who long and work for that bright day When o'er earth's habitations No war, no strife shall hold its sway Who long to see That all men free No more shall foes, but neighbours be! Who long to see That all men free No more shall foes, but neighbours, No more shall foes, but neighbours be!"
Wow, THAT’s the Slovenian anthem? God bless the Slovenian people, that’s really beautiful! Thank you for pointing that out. I looked up the Slovenian anthem on Wikipedia and I love the literal English translation of the last line (in the third column under Lyrics): “Not a devil, just a neighbour will the adjoining-land's dweller be!” I want to say, “If only all people felt that way,” but I think most people already do. I think there are more people with good consciences that want to love their neighbors, than there are otherwise in the world.
@@bchristensen100 By the way, here's a fun fact: the surname on the monument is spelled incorrectly. It should be 'Prešeren,' not 'Prešern.' This mistake was noticed during the monument's unveiling, but they decided to leave it as it is.
Hey you’re right! Oh well, just the fact that people in Montenegro even bothered to make a monument to another country’s hero seems pretty cool to me, and kind of in keeping with the spirit of that wonderful anthem!

open mindedness and critical thinking? LMAO are you drunk
@@JackMarcuson Well, he's not a Putinist troll, as you are.
@@Palimbacchius I don't begrudge anybody the right to hate their own corrupt government but if you think Russia is evil and the USA is good, I'd ask an Iraqi, a Haitian, a Nicaraguan or even an African American. You might learn not to think in simplistic terms.
@@stanleyrogouski "If". That's a simplistic fantasy you've pulled out of your own arse: I have no idea why you should accuse me of it. What I think is wrong is great powers interfering in the affairs of their neighbours, politically or militarily: the USA is worse than Russia here, since it has a longer reach, not just confined to its own back yard.
Great video! As usual.
Please, stay on.
Natasha, the day 3 of this month I saw a girl in Podgorica's airport and I thought "this girl looks like Natasha from the TH-cam". And now I just watched your video about Montenegro and realised that the girl I saw was really you 😂. If I would have realised on that day I would have asked for an autograph! I have been watching your videos since time ago and I really enjoy them, thanks for everything 😄
Good job and I agree with Mike you are a journalist and the work you do is very important. 😊
I'm glad you've been able to travel for a positive reason. Montenegro is an interesting place.
Coming out of the mountains and seeing the coast was like “Wow!”
@@MasterMalrubius Have you visited the Mausoleum of Njegos designed by Ivan Mestrovic in Lovcen National Park? The view of Kotor Bay from the top of Jezerski Vrh is breathtaking.
Nice to see you again Natasha. 😘
Great to see your latest work, Natasha, I had begun to worry a little. Glad you got to visit a new country, and amusing that, to you, it seemed like “nothing is happening” there. You are so articulate and bring a great depth to your content. Please enjoy your travels and I hope you continue to meet other professional colleagues so you can realize more and more how excellent your work is. Thank you
thanks for the blog, i shared it on my facebook page, as i think this blog deserves all the attention it is getting. Well done.
I've missed your content! Loved the video. I'm glad you got to visit Europe! Hoping you will upload more regularly. Take care!
11:35 That transition was so neat!! Very cool 😌
Wow a new Natasha's Adventures video!!!!!!!!!! 👌🏻 🎯 ✈ 🎆 🎉 😊 🏝 🇷🇺. ❤ 🎥 🍾 🥂
Really good episode. Thanks for the updates on your latest ventures.
Hello Natasha good to see you back, You have not lost your ability to blog, you are just as articulate and interesting as before.
Hi Natasha, congratulation!!! you have 371 thousand subscribers 31 plus million views, you are now a journalist on your own self. enlightening and inspiring peoples around the world💙💙💙
It's great your getting out of Georgia and exploring a bit. Wishing you all the best, good luck.
Hi Natasha, it's cool that you're interested in languages. I'm a translator living in Czechia and I love languages and lingustics. Right now I teach Czech to Ukrainean refugees who found refuge in our country.
Actually, I meet Poles from time to time and we always laugh a lot comparing our languages 🙂 Not only that some words sound funny to each other but a lot of words are the same but with completely opposite or at least different meaning.
Looks like a really great adventure ! Glad to see you working at what you love.
Loved everything about this video, Natasha. It has such a "stream of consciousness" vibe about it, yet I know from experience putting it together must have been _much_ more work than that. Your audio, lighting, color balance, and linguistic/context anecdotes speak volumes about this work. As others have indicated in these comments, you're already doing journalistic work, but I'm glad this event provided focus in that direction. Journalism is a tough thing to do well, but I think you've managed it amazingly well. Greetings from the US. 👍
I liked your seg-way from your video to your computer and back on the airplane , that was cool !
Glad to see your onwards movements. The world is a big place.
Thank you Natasha for sharing your life with us. I enjoy listening and seeing your perspective on things which happen around you. I look forward to watching your next video.
Sending my love from Poland
It was good to see you vlogging again! I've missed seeing your work. Glad you still at it and deepening your professionalism.
Natasha! So good to see you, looking happy and we'll❤️
I'm very happy for you that you finally got the chance to visit Europe! The workshop also looked very interesting and informing.
Natasha, that edit at 11:35 was awesome!
Ohhh natasha ive missed your posts your such a unique character, i love your insight into other countries and cultures, take care always ...lee in the 🇬🇧
Great Natasha that you are taking interest in Journalism.
Very good video. So nice to see you again. You look so healthy and relaxed since moving out of Russia. I wish you well and look forward to future videos.
Good to have you back, your insights are always fascinating and unexpected. The world needs continual reminders that Russian ladies are not all loathly like Margarita and Scabby Olga.
You're video journalism is always informative 👍 and captures a wide variety of information within. From language to social atmosphere and economies that bring a lot of information to account for. You're doing great.
Welcome to Europe!!! 😊😊 Greetings from Vienna 😊
Welcome back! Insightful and informative as always.
Peace be with you Natasha
I've really missed seeing you and am glad to watch this video Natasha. Looks like it was a very interesting trip to Montenegro and it was good to learn about the media program you participated in. I also enjoyed you walking around Podgarica explaining the similarities and differences with their language and Russian. It reminded me of your early video when you walked around Spassk-Dalny teaching us about the Russian alphabet. Another good one. Thanks Natasha.
A wonderfully rich adventure ! Fantastic work !
This was such a good video. The subject matter, the editing, and your own personality all worked together perfectly. I learned so much about a variety of interesting and important topics, and I really look forward to seeing what is ahead of you in the future. And I'm glad you got to travel and visit a new country!
Natasha nice to see/hear from you again. Great episode!
I am so proud of you !!
You're so honest about your situation being Russian and how it affects your life, keep it up!
So nice to see another of your interesting, informative, and insightful videos, Natasha. Glad you could travel to a new country and found the journalism seminar useful. Look forward to your next upload! 😊
I knew I could sense you. Hello from Ireland and welcome to Europe.
Natasha you are a journalist, not "just a TH-camr". Your reporting is raw, honest and engaging. Keep up the good work and natural development of your craft. Stay safe from the orcs et al.
Off topic I love those leather/bead necklaces you wear they really suit you.
Much love from Canada.
Thank you, great video. - American in Vietnam.
Really interesting video and I'm glad you got to travel a little, and use Euro currency for the first time. Hope you have many more travel opportunities into other European countries in the future Natasha.
I love your videos. Glad to see you're filming again.
take care, Natalia, greetings from PL :)
Seeing this video makes me realize how much I miss Europe. Stay safe and happy. 😊
Reminds me of the similarities between Dutch and German. And many of the English vocabulary and German share very similar word sounds called cognates. I am an old man, but I am encouraged by your courage. Courage is acting despite worrying or being afraid.
What courage? She fled her country and didn't oppose her tyrannical government when she was living in russia. Armchair protesting isn't valid.
@@customfantasyhotwheels unless you are Ukrainian or Iranian and did participate in actually changing your country at your own peril this is just macho keyboard warrior bullshit. What have you done with your platform besides some apolitical clips about toy cars? 😂
@@customfantasyhotwheels Fleeing the country takes courage. You're leaving a lot of your life behind to enter a very uncertain situation. Do you know what doesn't take courage? Staying in Russia and complying with the system.
@customfantasyhotwheels
Conscientious people don't do stupid things. The survivor has the last laugh.
@customfantasyhotwheels
Putin will become the Last Hamster.
What a sick transition at 12:07!
You'll find yourplace keep your mind sharp, time will allow more opportunities.
Welcome back. You have been missed. Nice to know you are ok.
Natasha, it is so good to see you! Your videos are always wonderful.
Good reporting...
It’s a wonderful thing that you’re surviving well outside of your country while it’s currently destroying itself. You can still have a great life. Stay healthy and happy. ❤
Agree. Never return to Russia.
That's pretty funny since the country evidently being destroyed is Ukraine. What comes to mind is the Vietnam era refrain that 'we had to destroy the village to save it'.
Russia is doing just fine without a parasite like Natasha
The cut sequence at 11:38 was absolutely master-class. Bravo! Plus, your voice and the overall audio is really chill and relaxing. Thank you for that, and for sharing your experience and thoughts.
Coming from a rather tiny country myself (Denmark), I we have learned that we need to work together with our neighbors and partners to achieve peace and prosperity. I believe this encourages diversity and increases mutual respect. Since we're also a limited population (just around 5 million), not all TV shows are dubbed and not all books are available in our own language. This means more motivation for learning the languages shared between our neighbors - in our case, English, Swedish, Norwegian and German - and as such a better understanding of the World beyond our own borders. In terms of military defense, size doesn't matter since we're a part of larger defense alliance.
It's just a bunch of silly justifications for some brainwashed girl. My advice to her is to just buy a ticket to the western nation of her choice. Go. Experience, then return home.
Brilliant as always. Thank you
Hi Natasha! I'm from Poland, had Russian in high school and you're right - some words are very deceitful. For example, Russian "неделя" means "week", Polish "niedziela" means "Sunday". Russian "запоминать" means "to memorise", Polish "zapominać" means "to forget". You can clearly say these used to be the same words, but then somewhere along the way the meanings have changed.
Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian/Montenegrin/etc "nedelja/недеља" means "week" AND "Sunday" 😀but you can also say "sedmica/седмица" and "tjedan" (only Croatian) for week.
Some of those differences stem from the fact that some words used to have two meanings, like krasno/красно which had the meaning of "Red" and "Beautiful" and now only means red in Russian and beautiful in South Slavic Languages. Some other differences arise from a drift of the meaning of a word (jagoda), taboos or simply because those words didn't use to exist in the common ancestor and were therefore either newly created or borrowed from another language.
In serbo-croatian „nedelja“ can mean sunday or a week etc.
Montenegro is a beautiful country. I spent a week there a few years ago and really enjoyed it.
Those are called false friends
In Slovenian "Pozabiti" means to forget. But "Zapomniti" means to remeber.
So happy to hear from you again 😊. So interesting to listen to your thoughts ❤️
Natasha, you are a good, honest, aspiring journalist and also a filmmaker, well done so far...
We love you, Natasha!
Great to see you back. Your videos are always interesting and informative and this one is no exception. Thanks!
Great video Natasha....you will go far, trust me !
Glad to see you again, Natasha. I think your going to this conference was a great idea. Your description and dissection of events, some politics, and social issues of Russia were well done. Now, they'll be even better. Good luck to you.
We missed you Natasha! As usual an excellent video, informative and very interesting! Peace!
Very nice Natasha!
Hi Natasha! Good to see you again! And thank you for this interesting video.
Missed you! Happy to see you still have your very own opinions and want to connect with like minded people in this world. I hope vlogging on TH-cam will offer you the chance to make a decent living that you are comfortable with. So true the quote “ War is not healthy for children and all living things! “🙋🏻♀️💖🌎
@@durtyhairy?
thanks, got to see Montegegro through your eyes. love it.
Thank you Natasha, we have been watching you for the last 18 months... vlogs from everywhere, Vladivostok, Tashkent (with Konstantin)... great work in Montenegro. Best Wishes & every success - Rozana & Carl 🇦🇺 🦘
Wow so good to see you and hear you again. I was in Warsaw 2 weeks ago at Chopin airport i could have walked past you. You are an amazing human Natasha so brave ,so understanding ,so kind. Take care be safe .
She is a Putin super spy
At 13:10, there is a monument dedicated to the Slovenian poet, France Prešeren, the author of "Zdravljica". Part of this song is now the Slovenian anthem, which is very relevant to current events.
"God's blessing on all nations
Who long and work for that bright day
When o'er earth's habitations
No war, no strife shall hold its sway
Who long to see
That all men free
No more shall foes, but neighbours be!
Who long to see
That all men free
No more shall foes, but neighbours,
No more shall foes, but neighbours be!"
Wow, THAT’s the Slovenian anthem? God bless the Slovenian people, that’s really beautiful! Thank you for pointing that out. I looked up the Slovenian anthem on Wikipedia and I love the literal English translation of the last line (in the third column under Lyrics):
“Not a devil, just a neighbour will the adjoining-land's dweller be!”
I want to say, “If only all people felt that way,” but I think most people already do. I think there are more people with good consciences that want to love their neighbors, than there are otherwise in the world.
@@bchristensen100 By the way, here's a fun fact: the surname on the monument is spelled incorrectly. It should be 'Prešeren,' not 'Prešern.' This mistake was noticed during the monument's unveiling, but they decided to leave it as it is.
Hey you’re right! Oh well, just the fact that people in Montenegro even bothered to make a monument to another country’s hero seems pretty cool to me, and kind of in keeping with the spirit of that wonderful anthem!
Good work Natasha, always worth watching.
