      Hi Natasha. I don't eat meat often.Do Georgian people have salad in restaurants? Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, radishes, celery,cress, beetroot? I don't like everything smothered in mayonnaise.
      I hope the Georgian people retain their culture. Good luck to you as a Russian . Tough going sometimes I expect. Where do you want to go? Good luck.😊

      what parts of her talk is "brave" or "intelligent" exactly? Any details you can provide to back up such claims?
      I wish her all the best, but what I see is she's confused about her self-identity and person, she's even confused to which country she belongs, she's also confused about her sexuality. This is not brave, nor intelligent, it is mental and I don't say it with bad feelings or intentions, but it is what it is.

    Natasha❣️ As an older fellow woman I have to “scold”you, because I recognize the same mistake I made in my younger years. You definitely underestimate your skills!!! You speak as if you felt useless😮 You have a successful UA-cam channel and produce interesting and meaningful content- this is no small thing and many people with marketing degree couldn’t succeed in that!!! This is definitely a strong point on your resume. Your English is also great! Please don’t think of your achievements so small. Also, I was very happy to hear you think of visiting Poland where I originally am from. If you make it to the EU you will definitely see many opportunities for yourself. Have you thought about eg. starting with applying for an internship in media houses - I really think your UA-cam channel gives you an edge over people studying journalism and maybe you can combine that with getting additional degree- it is common in Germany where I live now that people first start some jobs to try out different things and then study for 2 years for such additional diploma (can be combined with work). But first and foremost please don’t think so low of your skills and yourself.

    • @Whitenightwall
      @Whitenightwall 26 днів тому

      Martha, as an older fellow human I'd suggest you think twice before you write anything that requires brain.....
      I won't tell you that you are doing mistakes the young people do, cause you are not young. Just not smart.
      Natasha is a nothing. A total zero of life, from a troubled russian society. A useless individual that tells absolutely nothing important and explains nothing to anyone.
      Example: the "russian law" of Georgia.... A law that ANYONE willing to read a few more articles outside of their woke bubble, will immediately find out that comes from America, that established that law first, years before Russia (for obvious security reasons) and enforces it on everyone in its territory right this very moment we are talking!!!
      But it is a "russian law" for the rest of the planet....
      People who want to be human behave in a different way Martha. They become useful. They work. Or study and work. Or study in order to find themselves somewhere one day, so they can be useful. They do not stay youtubers. Because making money (that is the only thing YT offers to society, besides brainwashing) is not the ultimate goal for them. And let's be honest: all these "influencers", it is money they look to get. Maybe fame some of them. But "dollari" (imagine it with romanian accent and clinging coins noise in the background) is the only thing they dream of. Nothing good for anybody else.
      So, in a society full of homeless, drug addicts, orphans, sick people, destitute elderly and people losing everything to the banks, Natasha has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to give. To the real people that need help.
      And that is ok. It is normal: She is NOT here to help anybody!! Just "blah blah blah" in front of a camera and.... voila!!! here is some YT money for you!!!
      And to finish, let me just erase what both of you think: Do NOT kid yourselves that Natasha is doing anything, or managed to have "a successful YT channel". Nobody did anything.
      Example: I started a small YT channel with russian video clips for the war, for fun, to see what will happen.
      Do you know what happened?
      I got "shadow banned" me the first day!!!
      Not the second, or the third. No, no. THE VERY FIRST DAY dear Martha......
      My first video got very popular and started getting massive views. Suddenly it stopped.... Next day nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I only got my own views...
      I laugh because I couldn't care less. I am not a YTer. But I tell you this, my fellow challenged human, just to introduce you to the notion of ALGORITHM !!!
      Yes, that is what makes (or breaks) Natasha in a second. Not her talent, or her beauty (figuratively speaking...).
      YT algorithm favors russian traitors. YT wants to show that "here, even the Russians know we are right!!".
      As soon as our dear Natasha changes her mind about the LGBTQ issues, or climate, or Ukraine, or Putin......
      If she changes her opinion and decides to step outside of the goat herd, or (God forbid!!!😂) voice her opposition.....
      Yeah.... She will disappear into the darkness where she came from, never to be seen again.
      Her "not a small thing" carrier will evaporate into the thin air..... And yes, the marketing degree people may not have a channel like hers. But after all finishes, they still have their degree.
      So, Martha. Use your brain before you speak.
      As a fellow human, have a nice day in Germany.

    I imagine being a political exile must be very, very difficult, particularly given the barriers in the West against Russian people. I'm sure I would feel very lonely, depressed, and useless as a person. Very, very few of us are true rolling stones, content to live without roots and connections. I do hope that eventually you will find a home for yourself in a country you can come to truly love and grow roots. I am very, very privileged to live a safe and happy life as a Canadian, and I wish the same for you. Your videos are wonderfully honest and authentic, and I enjoy watching them.

      Agree 100% with the positive comments. Natasha's films show or have shown parts of Russia and now Georgia to an audience who would otherwise never see these places or hear about the food, the beautiful buildings and the ugly buildings, the culture, history, etc. We could read some of this in books but Natasha gives the stories a life they might not have as print on a page. Good to see her in the sun, hopefully absorbing as much Vitamin D as possible. This channel is one of the best on YT.

    I always enjoy getting updates from you, Natasha, as I have been following you since you started your channel. You were the first Russian vlogger I followed, and since then I now follow eight other Russian vloggers, most who have left Russia. I really like all you guys! If all Russians were like you guys, it would be a different Russia. There would be peace! Friendship! I sympathize with your predicament. When I was your age, I was confused about many things such as what career I should choose, where I should live, and what I believe. Many of us are raised in certain religions, which we later leave. Even so, as a deist, I still believe in God. I think you will eventually figure things out. In any event, I hope you can visit the United States again. There have been a huge amount of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe that settled in western Pennsylvania, which is where I grew up and reside. The parents of one of my history teachers in high school were from Russia.

    NFKRZ and yourself have put the country of Georgia on my map! Im now interested in visiting Georgia for a while, in my escapist fantasy of touring all around Europe (which I will probably never get to do, because I am too poor😂) so I appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
    It is a shame that the times are tough, and that you didn't get to experience Georgia without all the political tensions. I'm glad that you acknowledge the situation, rather than just lashing out at the country and people of Georgia. That shows your intelligence, compassion and maturity that a lot of people lack - even people several decades older than yourself.
    I fully believe that there is a world where Russia and Georgia are friends, AND Georgia is still its full sovereign borders with its own rights to self determination as a nation.
    All that was ever needed from the Russian government, was a long-term genuine respect and good-faith effort in diplomacy. Unfortunately the Russian government just can't seem understand this. Instead they would rather trample over every nation and people's that it comes into contact with, both within and outside its borders.
    One day we'll see Russia embrace its full potential as a diplomatic and widely respected nation, but clearly not anytime soon.

That is more than enough time to start new wars that would endanger its neighbors and especially us Georgians. That's why our government is being very careful while still aiming to become an EU member. We aren't part of any alliance that would guarantee our security. I'm disappointed that Natasha doesn't get that, but I understand where she's coming from.

    Hi, Natasha. We have here in Poland the same thing. "Gość w dom, bóg w dom". Which means, if there is a guest in the house, the god is also there. It's somewhat nice. Even being an atheist i still feel that it's a proper way to treat foreigners and im proud of it. We are always open to new people in a genuine way. Yet...it didn't help with violence in our own families. I expierienced more of the latter unfortunately.

      I think the "age of innocence" for Natasha and Zack have come & gone. Both have vids pre 2022 of just walking & exploring their villages, the US town & university (for Zack), etc. However, after the events of 2022, there's no turning back for either of them. Both of them have openly stated anti-Z views, which would make them persona non grata in their motherland.
      Zack is now studying for a bachelor's degree in the US. Natasha is in Georgia. Dari Step is also in the US, studying for an MBA degree, but she regularly visits Russia and prefers to be non political in her vlogs (I respect her views, since she wants to be able to still visit family in Russia).

    Your story about the georgian doctor speaking to you in russian reminded me that, I've had my shoulder relocated in france 3 times, and each time the medical staff wanted to talk to me in english, even though I was capable of conversing in french (albeit not as good as their english). The french are often known to hate speaking english in their own country, but if you just make some effort to charm them, it's amazing how much english they know. People are people at the end of the day. We all have a lot more in common than some would like to admit.

    as a local, I dont always like my country to be represented as a hospitable, people pleaser. what you see today in Georgia is a scriptwritting of past century and soviet regime. If you trully want to know how we are as a people, you should get into history, and even without knowing history, what you can say is we are fighters, we are ancient people, feminism was born here, it was a woman in 4th century that changed whole religion of Georgian people, it was Queen Tamar who ruled as a king, people during 12th century lready knew and accepted equality, it was a poet Shota Rustaveli who wrote: ლეკვი ლომისა სწორია, ძუ იყოს თუნდა ხვადია" Lion cubs are equal, be they male or female. Even before that, we had Medea, after whom the word medicine is derived. Soviet times stole ourr history, made us look like weak, people pleasers, who will bend their head to anyone. They fed us a story that has never been ours. You already see young Georgian, free girls and boys, who reclaim back their power, who fight as wolves, after which our land is named. We are the wolf people of the ancient roots. that's how we want to be represented.

She mentions so briefly that there might have been wars here because we have so many fortresses🙄 girl are you for real? this country has been fighting for its existence since it was created.. like as you are staying here for so long, why don't you have a little look at the history of this country that provided you with a shelter and permitted you with a residence.
      Since Natasha came here she has been only focusing on how this country treats her, how people treat her.. why just not be grateful, so many countries restricted entry of any Russian citizen since they started war in Ukraine. and they might be right because Russia is your country, you don't like something happening there, fix it. Anyways, this Country gave you so much, yet you sit here judgingly discussing if and why we are Rusophobic - What we feel towards you is not disgust but caution, driven by so many memories for so many centuries, phobia is fear, are you surprized that we fear people from a country that took away our freedom for the past 4 centuries? Do you know what your fellow citizens did here in 2008 and 1992 when they occupied us - they have been cutting heads of our people and playing football with it, in 2008, Russian soldiers stole toilets from Samachablo 🙄 they made mothers eat their sons eyes and by no means Im exaggerating. Your people brought terror to us, why not be humble and little ashamed what you have done to us. Yet we permit you to be free and enjoy what you're doing. and Yes, don't sing any Russian songs in our cafes and restaurants, we don't want to hear that language.

    The part about you not understanding business etc. is interesting. I am older. I look at people now when I hear that I think ‘confusion is a choice.’ Your ‘confusion’ is your inability to focus on something that doesn’t interest you. That is natural. Why say ‘confused’? Then you are disrespecting your own intelligence. You clearly can do what catches your attention. Go with that. That is your mind-body reaction to trying something that is not a fit. The stress of ‘confusion.’ Don’t cultivate a neurotic self viewpoint. You are a high-feeling person. That is a wonderful quality and much needed in this world. It is NOT Marketing and Finance. Sooner you can learn to listen to yourself and not judge, the farther you can go. And DO listen to the fomo. Life is short and so is youth and health. Heed that call. But be who you are.
