I love the reporter's ability to point out the obvious falsehoods and oddities without calling the subject out. She plays along very well in a way that makes her skepticism clear without creating conflict.
Sounds like me and the wrong number I was texted from 2 weeks ago. "She"(a 30 yr old Chinese woman in San Francisco who's made millions in the fashion game" had me download Telegram to correspond because "she" was afraid of missing my messages. Ok. I'm waiting for her to ask for money. If its legit though.... oh buddy. #saveoursoil
She keeps repeating how “you are the creator of your own destiny” and I really think she takes that to heart. She has completely manufactured her looks, her job, her acquaintances, her past.
No! She's definitely an ex-spy who her first love was a mafia boss who scarified his life for her 100% And that house in the beginning was definitely not rented and basically everything she said is true! X'D
The reporter did a great job with this. The subtle call outs without being so direct that it turns the interviewie off immediately is spectacular. Also this woman is 100% a lie.
Well ... she's not the only liar. Everyone there, and not there lives a fantasy. If they can make a living without killing or embezzling, let dreaming dogs lie.
i still feel that she is a spy and her story is the perfect disguise, she want everyone to think she is fake and lying so nobody suspects her and to meet more influential people publicly in plain sight
In France there was a russian immigrant who did same as her. He lied he was big super secret agent of kgb. Did riskey foreign missions etc He did big tv documentaries. Sold books. Became a consultant for european movies & video games about spy related stuff Then when he got really popular, russia said this guy never was a kgb agent or secret agent. He simply worked as a secretary tacking basic public phone calls to a kgb training center for 2 years. And used that to lie he was some sort of super spy 😂 Its like if someone worked 2 years as janitor in a usa military base. And lied he was special force 😆 The guy was receiving basic calls like "hi i wont be able to come for german language training tomorow i am sick" 😆
The star of this entire show is the presenter. Shes the only reason I sat through the 30 mins! Ms Rosa is obviously faker than Piers Morgan's laugh and Sydney still managed to create a good show from an absolutely ridiculous premise.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_(Magazin) Vice is pretty old . And they even worked together with Intel , as you can see in the wiki . translates corpo as fu**!
So lemme get this straight, one minute she's a Russian spy 'scared for her life,' but then first thing she does after her 'kidnapping and beating by 10 men' is become AS HIGHLY VISIBLE AS POSSIBLE. Nothing remotely suspicious about her story or anything.
Subject matter aside, it’s so nice that this entire story was wrapped up in under 30 minutes. If Netflix produced this it would have been 10 agonizing hours.
This is why I love Vice. They’ve kinda flopped in the last few years, but I really miss the golden age when they used to make stories like this all the time
I can't say I'm all that convinced by Aliia's story. Her words ring are hollow and rehearsed, she doesn't speak like someone who has experienced something that intense and traumatic. Thanks to Vice, we've seen many stories of people who've witnessed or been subjected to war crimes, abuse, poverty and all sorts of suffering. It's just a ruse.
Yeah, the story is pretty unrealistic... and there's no way she trained in some elite academy for dangerous seduction and undercover missions, but when she tries to improve or act in a scene is so stilted and awkward.
We're so completely fucked in this information age. It's obvious we need to make some more demands out of our public education, because not all of us seem to understand how to value and distinguish fact from fiction before it propagates.
She’s clearly lying. She is still alive and is trying to become an actress. Sounds like she lied for attention or she is still a spy idk but something just doesn’t seem right
Yeah something seems off. The Russian government don't care where you are, you get taken out. However she is living her best life jet setting around the world and wants to be an actress. Something is weird.
@@MarkWalmsley *_There's nothing weird about it, the agents told the whole story. She's a made up character and the agents are footing her bills as well as lavish lifestyle so that after the exposure and geting an actual movie casting, she will pay back the agents all they spent on her!_*
there is one thing I know for sure, people who have served in the military from whatever country it is, know when they went in and when they finished their service without hesitation. If you were trained in Russia as a "spy", I'm sure every day of that experience would be tattooed in your brain
Im having a hard time believing if she really was a real spy. I mean who will prove that claim? Can we see the Karate and gun skills? Suuusssy. too much loopholes lol
A narcissist with delusions of grandeur surrounding herself with people that feed her what she wants to hear. Not sad for her, she's forever lost in her own world, but for those people that will see this and envy her.
I was very happy to see the author of the segment sum it up by saying that she was lying to her face for 3 days. Now multiply that by however many days this woman has been a conscious adult, because she has lied that entire time to literally everyone who gave her the time of day. There is absolutely nothing real about her or her story. Sad, sad, empty space of a person.
Lol, so she fell in love with the enemy who sacrificed himself to save her life. Did he do the slow mo jump in front of her and everything, and then the bad guys thought "we must follow movie logic and not kill her now" while she somehow escaped in the freezing Russian snow?
@Read this comment👇🏻 thats so wrong. freedom of speech. imagine if we jailed people because of our beliefs? call it religious belief or simply (not)believing what a person says. everybodys free to say whatever they want, people should learn not to listen
If I were an attractive former russian spy trying to start a new life in America, adopting the persona of an influencer that poorly pretends to be a former russian spy obviously based on the latest movie with an attractive Russian spy character would be my move. Hiding in plain sight, surrounded by potential witnesses to your assassination..... Brilliant!
She had a police uniform on that was implemented in Russia after 2010. She is lying about being in the military, that is not her in the photo. She is most likely from central Russia and not even Moscow; she has an accent/dialect.
The house she claims to live in is a house on Sunset blvd just off the 405 that the owner rents out for filming and photoshoots. I've done photoshoots in that house. Definitely not her house lol
So embarrassing, this story perfectly shows how the Z level of celebrity operates in Los Angeles and all the scammers that orbit around it. (Like her agent who looks like he got his haircut done by his acid dealer) The whole industry runs entirely on delusion. "I own a Ferrari" guy, killed me.
Amazing documentary and smart-style reporting/investigating. Reporter/journalist girl is amazing to say the least. Can't wait to see more of her videos on Vice!!! Obviously the story is fake and anyone with half a brain knew that or will know that by watching this documentary. It's amazing how far narcissists are willing to go to and how much to fake in order to get that 1 minute of fake fame.
I read 3 comments and stopped watching lmao. Well actually I stopped watching when she mentioned how she was almost killed for being a bad spy. What’d she expect? A witness protection program in Russia?!
Her making up a fake past isn't the worst part, the worst part is people's fawning obsequious acceptance and love her story. Those people were embarrassing with how impressed they were and acting like it was more than it was. Even if her story were true, by her own admission, she was a spy who blew her first and only mission and sort-of almost barely not-really might have been close to dying. Oooh, wow. 🙄
We got a president here that way too. Alot of people love a good story, even if it's totally fabricated. Come to think of it that's also how Christianity became so huge too.
Love how you turned potential flop production into an amazingly great piece of journalism. You're always charming and entertaining but this is the best job so far!
indeed, though to be fair... a majority of real life 'spies' rarely ever touch guns at all... 007-style is not a real thing. Mostly data/item transfers and report writing lol
She claim she was in KGB. She was born in 1987. KGB disbanded in 1991. She was probably youngest KGB agent in history. Only 4 years old, when she underwent their secret program... rofl.
to be honest as someone originally from Eastern Europe I have to say that elements from her story even though they seem unrealistic are very probable. late 90s early 2000s were scary times in EE, mafia were prominent, people were getting shot in the streets if they disobeyed etc. I’m not saying that her story is real but the situations she is describing are very real.
She is smart enough to do research ... otherwise, she wouldn't be where she is today this is something like Danbilzerian ... truth will come out one day.
Story is realistic but all those women are either dead, still tied to those criminals in some way, or living as regular civilians. Either way they aren’t commercializing it 💀
I think she still working for Russia bcz if been ex spy of Russia and go against then they will kill you by any means. Ain't no way she a modelling and living free
An Asian looking lady, who was a former Russian 🇷🇺 spy, but speaks with a British accent and now lives in California. That's enough internet for today!
Where did she get the initial money to buy properties in Europe? How did she get a visa to leave Russia when she was in hiding? For me the story doesn't stack up. The whole thing is so artificial.
TL;DW She is lying and she lifted her story from the Red Sparrow movie. She is not a PR mogul and just trying to make it in LA. People in LA believe her because they can profit from her made up story. An example of the crazy lengths people will go to for fame.
Yup, and this is what globalism has created - "I don't care, I've got 2.2million followers, they all love me" If people had acted like this in small communities they would be shunned fast. But the ability to transmit to billions has allowed silly people to think something is right
I just want to say, the reporter is such a lovely girl ( I know I should focus on her work and not personality or outlook buuut). I saw your acne and I notice that you did not cover them. I just want to say, thank you because I am 24 and I am still dealing with acne and sometimes, it feels like you need to just shave off your skin and put another mask on your face to fit with all the other smooth faces. Happy to see you this way. Great work btw.
OK had to stop the video like 4 times because it broke my cringe-o-meter but big up to Sydney for managing to go through with the whole fiasco and not really offend anyone 👏
Tbh she's def not dumb, I don't believe her story, but if it gets her a job as actress, she's literally gotten it out of thin air. That makes me respect her in the sense that she held up everything and got where she wanted to be without actually committing any crimes
She forgot to mention she made a time machine from a DeLorean and she went back in time to 1955 to help her parents fall in love. That's her other true story
"No one gave me anything" So where did her start-up capital come from? Drug money? Russian agents do not receive a salary that enables them to live the life she lived right after she fled Russia.
When the reporter busted her you can visibly see her nervous like, oh crap I’m caught lol. I think up until that moment she though she had every one fooled and was 100 percent confident about her story. Her explanation didn’t make sense too.
Bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾the reporter was EXCELLENT at playing the roles while still blowing up every falsehood about this "want to be ex-spy”... The Vice reporter should get an Award 🏆...she was great!!
When she said that ten men had her alone in a forest at night, much worse things would've happened to her if that were true. She's describing what she thinks she would see in a movie. I clicked out after this part.
Lol exactly. She would of been brutally raped and probably tortured/ beaten to death. Also, if she really had the love of her life murdered and had to hide out for an entire year, she wouldn’t just up and go and overcome her trauma by traveling the world and being surrounded by luxurious products. That within itself is such a stupid storyline and transition
The video's purpose isn't to validate her story, but to analyze it. I'm deterred by her story too, but you could just skip to the end of the episode to get the summary lol
Dude, it smelled like BS from the start since we know of real Russian moles that cozy up to the American far right fascists. They’re regularly caught, they act as activists and lobbyists and go after old male Repub, NRA, etc. The reporter did a great job showing the whole scam without causing drama. Very smart. She’s a Kazakh model that doesn’t want to whore for the mob. More power to her. She’s smart and know it’s all bullshit.
From the moment I've seen that mansion and the reporter saying: "...but she gave me another address" I couldn't stop thinking "Inventing Anna". The indicators that she doesn't have a past only came out after "Red Sparrow" came out (and then she claimed "it's just like my life"), she basically literally copies everything Anna did and the results are so obviously EVERYTHING Anna did and Red Sparrow was about... She is just big time delusional. Edit: 19:32 that woman has never EVER held a gun in her hand before. NO way. She's either a fraud, or she forgot everything she had learned or she is the MOST SKILLED spy in the world who makes us only believe she doesn't know what she's doing because it's part of her cover that she still doesn't want to blow but then she already blew it herself by coming out which would make her a bad spy which is then again part of her cover because then her cover wouldn't be blown... I know you know what I mean. I don't believe a single word she said. Which would be something a spy would want. But also something a straight up lie would cause. The way she handles herself, she's only playing the role of a former spy as she pictures it (and exactly as she saw it in Red Sparrow), not as one would actually behave. Especially if her story were true and therefore with one of the most powerful secret services breathing down her neck, the VERY LAST thing she wants is public attention... And that brings me to my conclusion: if she's still alive that means either that the FSB doesn't give a damn about her (which would mean that she's either the worst spy they have and they're actually happy, she's defected or that the've never heard of her before) or that they actually believe this sharade might really work and therefore we're all being played big time. Edit No. 2: Ah, simple math brought down a spy, classic... Even I know that a spies' cover story is bulletproof, let alone the TRUE story :D I'm gonna stop editing now, it's going downhill fast from here on...
She said "I don't know where to begin.." but let's start from the very beginning and then we can get the scoop on everything. "How was your childhood?" She definitely knew where she was going to begin with the interview and just said that so she didn't have to seem like she was going to go to that extreme and want to know everything she could get her to be comfortable with sharing..
She forgets the name of the one black employee. Her acting sucks. No one is out to get her. Either she is so good at acting she is pretending she suck at this, or she straight up sucks at this.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world, this is still a good time to invest in, crypto currencies (BTC, ETH, XRP........)
Investing has the best results when you trade under a professional guide, Ethereum or some other cryptocurrency is going to be the global standard of payment. It'll be of greater value than national Fiat.
Hello, I'm new to Biticon trade and I've been making huge losses but recently I see a lot of people earning from it. please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Go to gun range, Check her aim, Check her aiming stance. See if its checks out She should be able to operate Russian made guns and rifles. Mantle and Dismantling should be easy for her.
She's definitely fake. But that aside, I'm starting to think "does it matter?" It is entertaining, and I can see how someone would really enjoy this American-centric Russian fantasy story that she tells and the character she puts on. Heck, we have fully animated influencers now. What's the difference?
@@robbb416 yes, that's if she was a spy. But that's not what I'm saying. I'm addressing that I don't think it matters if she is a fake. Her being a spy is a completely different subject and conversation that I'm not having.
@@georgeclayton yes and no. I agree with the final conclusion, yes. I'm also adding that she is no different than an animated influencer (e.g. Barbie, Lil Miquela, Lu do...etc.). Thus adding to the opinion. "Echo" would imply I add no additional thought or opinion to my post. Which isn't a big deal given that this is a TH-cam post that holds no credibility nor expected Academic Rigor. If that is what you seek, please... For your own sanity. Look elsewhere 😂
“He touched me, he rubbed my shoulder, and said now and then he pressed the trigger and he shot the enemy. He said to me it’s simple, now it’s your turn and I saw through the scope, I saw the face with a beard and with the hat… he said do it now I pressed the trigger and it was silence and I didn’t look again and closed my eyes then he told me good job. I laid there for maybe an hour.” I shortened this a bit but this is word for word what she described doing in a combat zone, at night, with a gun she doesn’t know the name of and didn’t know how it worked. 😂😂😂😂
Look, anything is possible. But as someone who reads TONS of WATTPAD books, the entire plot of her story (undercover-seduce-fall in love-kidnapped-man orders for her to him-he sacrifices himself yadayadaya) is the same as most of those books 😂😭 shawty’s living in a fantasy. Like go ahead sis but don’t make it public and shouldn’t you be crying or sum till this day if your man died for you?

I could tell that she’s not a spy by the way she hold those guns.
indeed, though to be fair... a majority of real life 'spies' rarely ever touch guns at all... 007-style is not a real thing. Mostly data/item transfers and report writing lol
@@LAT7A she still said she did time in the military. You need to know how to use a weapon even in the Russian military.
That’s because she’s lying lol
Seductive power baby!
It's a good job she didn't decide to go to Vegas, to pursue a career as a high class poker player!😏🤣🤣✌
She claim she was in KGB. She was born in 1987. KGB disbanded in 1991. She was probably youngest KGB agent in history. Only 4 years old, when she underwent their secret program... rofl.
to be honest as someone originally from Eastern Europe I have to say that elements from her story even though they seem unrealistic are very probable. late 90s early 2000s were scary times in EE, mafia were prominent, people were getting shot in the streets if they disobeyed etc. I’m not saying that her story is real but the situations she is describing are very real.
She is smart enough to do research ... otherwise, she wouldn't be where she is today this is something like Danbilzerian ... truth will come out one day.
She probably just served in the army for a short time, during which she was asked to seduce someone for compromat
Story is realistic but all those women are either dead, still tied to those criminals in some way, or living as regular civilians. Either way they aren’t commercializing it 💀
Plot twist, the only real spy was the Vice journalist!
Guarantee you that she’s spreading misinformation on purpose…as a spy 😅
you really think she gets paid for her spy skills she looks like a kept rich russian woman
Your actually 100 percent correct.
I mean going from Russian soldier to a wealthy person in Beverly hills. I'd defect too lol
I think she still working for Russia bcz if been ex spy of Russia and go against then they will kill you by any means. Ain't no way she a modelling and living free
'Is this one of your houses?"
"Well, I do live here sometimes"
So no, it's not your house 😂
The workplace that she had😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I couldn't stop laughing
It’s a real shame that her target “Vladimir” was killed. Otherwise he would have been able to confirm and validate her story.
😅 how convenient Vladimir died
@@lotusgrl444 and she choose Vladmir the name , She can only think about putin when she need a russian name
„I live here sometimes“ = It is not my house, I just rented it for the day, so I look rich.
The office and the employees actresses as well 😂
There's no such thing as "ex spy" - especially not in the same sentance as "Russian" lol.
exactly that, i was just about to write the same... there is no retirement for ex spies... all end up same
And that was what gave it away for me before finishing the video
If u r an ex spy for Russia and u run away, get ready for the novichok
@@woooshbait9696 What about him? He reached a higher position. He never stopped serving russia post KGB era
@@woooshbait9696 You're completely missing the point. He never stopped working for the government.
An Asian looking lady, who was a former Russian 🇷🇺 spy, but speaks with a British accent and now lives in California. That's enough internet for today!
“I have to be in James Bond, and they chose Rami Malek” 😂
14:48 This little sequence had me dying.
"I'm a big guy" and it's just the presenter looking up at this big faceless dude.
Lmaoo just saw that part it is funny
This was a nice episode. Really liked the transition between fawning over her incredible life story before questioning if any of it was even real
The reporter was the most genuinely beautiful person in the video, amongst all those manufactured "beauties"
There's no Ex Spies and they all speak with no accent LMAO
Where did she get the initial money to buy properties in Europe?
How did she get a visa to leave Russia when she was in hiding?
For me the story doesn't stack up.
The whole thing is so artificial.
She looks like an escort to me
probably started off as a run of mill Dubai escort
I don’t know man it seems so true to me...
She seems like an escort
She was probably an escort. Doubt she has any money.
TL;DW She is lying and she lifted her story from the Red Sparrow movie. She is not a PR mogul and just trying to make it in LA. People in LA believe her because they can profit from her made up story. An example of the crazy lengths people will go to for fame.
It’s a win win situation.
So if I tell the people in BH I'm a former KGB agent that worked in east Germany, they would believe me
@Read this comment👇🏻 Tru dat
The calibre of her audience and "friends" seems to be directly on par with her ability to convince people her story is authentic.
Yup, and this is what globalism has created - "I don't care, I've got 2.2million followers, they all love me" If people had acted like this in small communities they would be shunned fast. But the ability to transmit to billions has allowed silly people to think something is right
I love how they all kept a straight face telling her story.
😂😂i would have been cracking
I just want to say, the reporter is such a lovely girl ( I know I should focus on her work and not personality or outlook buuut). I saw your acne and I notice that you did not cover them. I just want to say, thank you because I am 24 and I am still dealing with acne and sometimes, it feels like you need to just shave off your skin and put another mask on your face to fit with all the other smooth faces.
Happy to see you this way. Great work btw.
OK had to stop the video like 4 times because it broke my cringe-o-meter but big up to Sydney for managing to go through with the whole fiasco and not really offend anyone 👏
I seriously think she was thinking, what a load of crap
Same xD
Tbh she's def not dumb, I don't believe her story, but if it gets her a job as actress, she's literally gotten it out of thin air.
That makes me respect her in the sense that she held up everything and got where she wanted to be without actually committing any crimes
Over someone who has had formal training.
th-cam.com/video/PcRRd8YbjuQ/w-d-xo.html
Nooooo she’s living off someone’s name like most of these people do in LA diff names diff countries
She won't get anything but b work of that. Even her agents are clowns
she's a hustler, a con, etc.. not exactly commendable.
“I want to play myself in a movie… But 15 years ago version” 😂
The one doing this interview need to do more of these types.
She forgot to mention she made a time machine from a DeLorean and she went back in time to 1955 to help her parents fall in love. That's her other true story
"There is no such thing as a former KGB agent"
Yep former KGB Vladimir Putin🤣🤮
Sure, it's a KG used 2 B
Vladimir putin is an former kgb agent. He got fired and went into politics after
@@babavoz91679 There is no such thing as a former *unwanted* KGB wanted
"No one gave me anything"
So where did her start-up capital come from? Drug money?
Russian agents do not receive a salary that enables them to live the life she lived right after she fled Russia.
This story is clearly for very young people lmao
Men could have given her money
she inherited it from her dead drug lord boyfriend who sacrificed himself for her 😩😢
Cannot believe ppl so dumb would believe she is a SPY 😢 It's total Marketing issues.
She might had been a spy for the Kremlin, but definitely just as a honeytrap and not the action packed, elite trained agent she claims to be.
@Read this comment👇🏻 Shes probably a sugarbaby.
One day we’ll look back at this influencer craze as it being a complete waste of time time like fitness stars of the 80s
@Read this comment👇🏻 just laugh and have some fun, it's just a funny story, if then people are so dumb to believe that is make all just more fun.
"I love acting because there I can be whoever" 😅 the only true phrase that came out of her mouth 😂😂😂😂
When the reporter busted her you can visibly see her nervous like, oh crap I’m caught lol. I think up until that moment she though she had every one fooled and was 100 percent confident about her story. Her explanation didn’t make sense too.
Spotted the same!!! Written all over her face & eyes
Whether or not the actual spy element of her story was fabricated, it's undeniable this woman is the queen of finesse.
Listen man I’m having flashbacks 🤣🤣 a smart pretty woman is dangerous!!
Absolutely
@Newcious dude why 😂😂
She’s a bozo 🤡
My thoughts 💯 EXACTLY 🙄😏
Just read her entire body language from 24 minutes and on, she is lying completely.
Easy and shes a bad actress too!!!
Yes , the wooden spy!😁🤣🤣✌
No question.
Plot twist: she's still a Russian spy using reverse psychology
Well, that would be an awesome way to hide assets by oligarchs or launder money
@@mxmajewski Where else is she getting all of this money to fund her adventures?
Bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾the reporter was EXCELLENT at playing the roles while still blowing up every falsehood about this "want to be ex-spy”... The Vice reporter should get an Award 🏆...she was great!!
Second hand embarrassment through the whole thing 😂
When she said that ten men had her alone in a forest at night, much worse things would've happened to her if that were true. She's describing what she thinks she would see in a movie. I clicked out after this part.
Lol exactly. She would of been brutally raped and probably tortured/ beaten to death. Also, if she really had the love of her life murdered and had to hide out for an entire year, she wouldn’t just up and go and overcome her trauma by traveling the world and being surrounded by luxurious products. That within itself is such a stupid storyline and transition
😂😂she literally watched a movie and chose a character
The video's purpose isn't to validate her story, but to analyze it. I'm deterred by her story too, but you could just skip to the end of the episode to get the summary lol
Dude, it smelled like BS from the start since we know of real Russian moles that cozy up to the American far right fascists. They’re regularly caught, they act as activists and lobbyists and go after old male Repub, NRA, etc. The reporter did a great job showing the whole scam without causing drama. Very smart. She’s a Kazakh model that doesn’t want to whore for the mob. More power to her. She’s smart and know it’s all bullshit.
Russian spy turned to a influencer... seems sus lol
She keeps saying, “I decided to share my story…..”
That’s exactly what it is, just a story
So let me get this straight, a Russian mob boss dies for a bimbo that betrayed him, LOL!
From the moment I've seen that mansion and the reporter saying: "...but she gave me another address" I couldn't stop thinking "Inventing Anna".
The indicators that she doesn't have a past only came out after "Red Sparrow" came out (and then she claimed "it's just like my life"), she basically literally copies everything Anna did and the results are so obviously EVERYTHING Anna did and Red Sparrow was about... She is just big time delusional.
Edit: 19:32 that woman has never EVER held a gun in her hand before. NO way. She's either a fraud, or she forgot everything she had learned or she is the MOST SKILLED spy in the world who makes us only believe she doesn't know what she's doing because it's part of her cover that she still doesn't want to blow but then she already blew it herself by coming out which would make her a bad spy which is then again part of her cover because then her cover wouldn't be blown... I know you know what I mean.
I don't believe a single word she said. Which would be something a spy would want. But also something a straight up lie would cause.
The way she handles herself, she's only playing the role of a former spy as she pictures it (and exactly as she saw it in Red Sparrow), not as one would actually behave. Especially if her story were true and therefore with one of the most powerful secret services breathing down her neck, the VERY LAST thing she wants is public attention... And that brings me to my conclusion: if she's still alive that means either that the FSB doesn't give a damn about her (which would mean that she's either the worst spy they have and they're actually happy, she's defected or that the've never heard of her before) or that they actually believe this sharade might really work and therefore we're all being played big time.
Edit No. 2: Ah, simple math brought down a spy, classic... Even I know that a spies' cover story is bulletproof, let alone the TRUE story :D
I'm gonna stop editing now, it's going downhill fast from here on...
She said "I don't know where to begin.." but let's start from the very beginning and then we can get the scoop on everything. "How was your childhood?" She definitely knew where she was going to begin with the interview and just said that so she didn't have to seem like she was going to go to that extreme and want to know everything she could get her to be comfortable with sharing..
I got a huge crush on the host. This chick is adorable
She forgets the name of the one black employee. Her acting sucks. No one is out to get her. Either she is so good at acting she is pretending she suck at this, or she straight up sucks at this.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world, this is still a good time to invest in, crypto currencies (BTC, ETH, XRP........)
Investing has the best results when you trade under a professional guide, Ethereum or some other cryptocurrency is going to be the global standard of payment. It'll be of greater value than national Fiat.

25:03 The smile when she mentioned red sparrow is hilarious
If she was a real spy and a defector ,she would be already RIP by now.
Are you sure? 🤔 th-cam.com/video/HrKZtIBYx3I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Nt_yOVMM2T6jF3QQ
Go to gun range,
Check her aim,
Check her aiming stance.
See if its checks out
She should be able to operate Russian made guns and rifles.
Mantle and Dismantling should be easy for her.
There is a clip of her at the end holding a toy rifle. I know it’s a toy but she definitely looks like she has never shot before lol
Horrible guns handling, poor trigger discipline. No way did she every have any firearms training.
@@freener 🤭🤣 Cheers 🍷
@@metrodog hahahaha looks like it 🤭🤣 Cheers 🍷
It looks more like the daughter of an oligarchs, who invest a good story to became an actress
Does anyone know the song from 00:42 to 1:24? I always hear it when people mention Russia and now I'm curious as to what song it is.
Vice this was your one one the smartest reporters of all time. I was wish she was the one who interviewed Martin Shkreli too.
Don't be sceptical bro's. What she said is 100% true. I am Vladimir her beloved co spy who was killed by the villains🥺🥺.
Hi, loki loki, I see your hanging out in the comments section again like Iam, entertaining isn't it, more so than her wooden acting!😁🤣🤣✌

@@jamiecurran3544 😂😂😂nice one bro
Omg Vladimir, good to see u alive 🥵🥵🥵
She's definitely fake. But that aside, I'm starting to think "does it matter?" It is entertaining, and I can see how someone would really enjoy this American-centric Russian fantasy story that she tells and the character she puts on. Heck, we have fully animated influencers now. What's the difference?
I think it does matter bc she is most likely feeding Intel back to Russia. She is not the only defector in this country.
@@robbb416 yes, that's if she was a spy. But that's not what I'm saying. I'm addressing that I don't think it matters if she is a fake. Her being a spy is a completely different subject and conversation that I'm not having.
You’ve echoed the conclusion made by the Vice journalist at the end of the video
@@georgeclayton yes and no. I agree with the final conclusion, yes. I'm also adding that she is no different than an animated influencer (e.g. Barbie, Lil Miquela, Lu do...etc.). Thus adding to the opinion.
"Echo" would imply I add no additional thought or opinion to my post. Which isn't a big deal given that this is a TH-cam post that holds no credibility nor expected Academic Rigor. If that is what you seek, please... For your own sanity. Look elsewhere 😂
@@johnathanstuart9022 Idk dude, you're the one writing youtube comments like a final year dissertation thesis
If she is an ex-spy left for dead, wouldn't this doc put her life at risk? Would an ex-spy give names?
Same thing I said
Being in the public eyes is the best thing to do. People would notice and respond if she disappears.
“He touched me, he rubbed my shoulder, and said now and then he pressed the trigger and he shot the enemy. He said to me it’s simple, now it’s your turn and I saw through the scope, I saw the face with a beard and with the hat… he said do it now I pressed the trigger and it was silence and I didn’t look again and closed my eyes then he told me good job. I laid there for maybe an hour.”
I shortened this a bit but this is word for word what she described doing in a combat zone, at night, with a gun she doesn’t know the name of and didn’t know how it worked. 😂😂😂😂
11:06
“THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAS ARRIVED”
Me: Wow, she is really embodying her role
Vice always find the strangest most interesting stories
Well, they’re talking to her for a reason. Gotta be something to this.
You know how you can tell she's lying because she is still alive and talking way to publicly about her past.
Are you sure? 🤔

12:08 Great little touch with this shot of Pierre being caught acting funny on the side!
This guys lunch is 100%: coke and bimbos.
Look, anything is possible. But as someone who reads TONS of WATTPAD books, the entire plot of her story (undercover-seduce-fall in love-kidnapped-man orders for her to him-he sacrifices himself yadayadaya) is the same as most of those books 😂😭 shawty’s living in a fantasy. Like go ahead sis but don’t make it public and shouldn’t you be crying or sum till this day if your man died for you?
I love how vice makes it seem these people actually work for vice, when they are very much independent contractors.
