- Hi loves,
So happy to start sharing my Russia adventure with you. I feel so lucky to be able to experience this with my mother who grew up in this country and had me here. We left Russia when I was 2 years old and my mother was 21. This trip started with St. Petersburg so we could experience the history, architecture and beauty.
This is our first 2 days.

The way you said "does he know who valeria lipovetsky is " had me rolling 😂😂
Pleeeeease do a sit down video with your mom! She seems so wise and strong. I think that we can learn o lot from her.
Your relationship with your mom reminds me of mine with my mom. ❤ Your mom is so wise. You can tell that she is the strong, living embodiment of all the challenges she's faced.
same!
Thank you
reminds me of my mama too. strong ladies that have been through a lot nd know what they're talking about...
I have a mega soft spot for Russian people. I find alot of time people tend to have a certain view regarding eastern European people because they are not to keen on the people that come over to earn their money through cheap labour. I was raised in Germany but moved to the UK several years ago and in both countries I have noticed this attitude forward eastern european migrants. My best friend is Russian and I also worked with alot of Russians in the past and from my perspective you guys are the most kind and family orientated people besides being incredibly hard working. I think if you're not familiar with the mentality you can get a bit scared off by the cold faced phasad and the harshness some Russians have about them but seriously once you get to know them they tend to be the nicest people ever. Watching this video makes me miss my friend and the lovely time I had at her house with her family. Love the relationship you have with your mom xxx
phasad LOL
Thank you for your kind words..
I loved the moment with your mom, it really touched me. My mom is a immigrant as well, and too think of her as a ''Superstar.''
Your mother is so smart, wise and carries herself with such grace. Please show us more of her!!
I think you two deserve each other (in a good way looll)
I moved to Scotland when I was 18. I only had 300 pounds in my pocket and I was staying in the cheapest hostel. Now, 7 years later, I am graduating from University and I never thought of myself as a strong person. Until I heard your mom's little story about coming to another country. I also had to learn a new language, adapt to the culture and work my butt off at the worst possible jobs. But I made it. So can you!(the reader)
MoonieLass That's very inspirational, thanks for sharing!!😄
QUEEN!
I moved to Scotland too and I work hard, planning to go to university soon. How crazy ))
Your mom is so elegant, poised, and strong. It was inspiring to listen to her. I love your authenticity. :)
It's so nice to see you embracing your culture...❤❤❤
I'm a Russian girl living in Toronto, can't wait to go to Russia this winter. Feeling great watching ur vlog! Such a beautiful country with great people)
did u go to Russia? I'm sorry ik it's late, but I got curious reading this comment, did you make your past-self dreams true? :)
Your momma is such a wise woman :)
Do not be offended, but all Russian people are very wise. Russian people are very philosophical and they very well tie philosophy to reality.
Ask the Russian person any question, ask him to answer it "globally" and you will hear about a new world that was previously inaccessible to you.
That is why, often, Western politicians can not understand Russian people. Very deep soul, huge heart and unpredictable behavior.
Russians do as the heart commands, not logic. They are difficult to predict and calculate ahead of time.
Your mother is so inspiring with the way she talks about her life even though it's a personal topic she spoke about it in a way that was so chutzpah. I love it, can we see more of her and maybe more of her advices? Like on building confidence in your work? 🤔😊
I was doing a study break from studying the russian revolution when I saw you posted this, perfect timing! ❤
Only Russia and Serbia know how bad the 90s were but that only made us stronger. Love this vlog!
bamby preljepa Although you are stating a correct fact, please dont forget other countries in Eastern Europe such as Armenia and other countries in the Kavaz area.
True fact! (From a serbian😄)
Jako mi je drago da nas ima jos sa Balkana koji prate Valeriu
And the other post-sovet countries) Baltics here)
+bamby preljepa
Are you from Serbia? Greetings to you sis and much happiness!
For Russia, the misfortune of Serbia is perceived as its own.
We remember, we have not forgotten, we will force to answer the guilty for the grief of our fraternal people.
Valeria, I am a Ukrainian girl living in the UK far away from my family, working hard, at times thinking life is hopeless. Then I see your mom in this video and what she said literally made me cry. There is nobody who gets this struggle but those who have been through it. Could you ask your mom for us followers, what she did and does now, how she became successful, what exactly does she advise us to do? I would love a video like that. Mne ochen ponravelos, ochen spasiba za video
Im so proud of you and your strength! I will make a video with my mom about her life story and any advice
OMG i never expected you to reply! Thank you so much. I will eagerly wait for that video. Your mom is absolutely amazing, and your channel is a daily inspiration to me.
Valeria Lipovetsky YES PLEASE DO VALERIA. YOUR MOTHER IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It would do a lot of us girls so much GOOD to hear her insight. She has ALREADY given me HOPE and STRENGTH that everything will workout & be alright in the end! Love youuu, from Toronto
Your mom and you are literally goals not only because how you both carry yourself but also the way you guys face the life with so much of positivity and good vibes.keep going!!
Beautiful advice from your mom, please thank her for me.
I would love it if you could film a video with your mom on any skincare tips that she might like to share. She is glowing, and so are you!!! ♥
Coming from a family of immigrants, it's so nice to see you and your mom as such strong, hardworking women who started from nothing. You so positively represent the immigrant experience
Oh, you don't even know how this video touched me💕 As a polish girl I find russians to be very similar to us, we kind of think in the same way, have similar culture. Of course there are a lot of differences, but in general there is a lot in common between us. It is so beautiful to see how you are exploring the culture and the talk with your mum almost made me tear up😢 Your mum is so like mine. I love how strong and wise she is. And I would never tell that you used to be insecure or scared of everything! That gives me hope because that's what I am now, an 18 years old girl with no faith in herself, that is scared of life. This video is so important to me, it gives me this beautiful feeling that I can do antyhing, that my culture is beautiful, that i have a wonderful family etc. I love you, I love your pure heart, your naturality, your honesty and streangh. You are my favourite youtuber, that's for sure! 🌹😍 I could write and write a lot more, but I think that would be a little crazy 😂 So just know, that you are doing a great job! 💪💗
Thank you SO much my sweet girl! Means so much to me. Take yourself as a lifelong project and work on it every single day. You can do anything- your self doubt is your only limitation- crush it! Sending you lots of love
Valeria Lipovetsky Thank you! ❤ I will and am working on myself and that's because of you and your wonderful videos💗 I can't thank you enough ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful video, Valeria. Your relationship with your mother is so genuine and it reminds me a lot of the relationship I have with my mother. She raised me completely alone because of my father’s absence in my life and hers, but we managed to be strong and independent women, to create our own destiny. It was really nice watching more of your life in such a beautiful place like St.Petersburg!
я прослезилась, когда смотрела твою маму
вы такие искренние) это очень ценно
I watched the whole video and now im crying. Your relationship with your mom is #goals.
😗💖
It's great to see women so strong. Listening to your mother speak about her past makes me so inspired. I wish every girl had a mother like you. I hope to be as courageous like her one day. Have a great journey!
Loved this blog so much! I enjoy every time you come to Russia and speak Russian! :) The only thing - Russians don't have caviar for breakfast. We have it on our tables only for big occasions like New Year. It's soooo expensive :)
Hi Valeria, I stumbled across your Russia vlogs and now I'm absolutely in love with your channel!
I've been to Russia (Saint Petersburg and Moscow) several times and I absolutely love both cities. You capture the beauty of them in your videos so perfectly. I'm a ballet dancer so it makes me happy to see that you saw Swan Lake in Saint Petersburg - nobody does it better than the Russians :D.
Wish you all the best and like many others hope to see more videos with your amazing mother!
I love your natural beauty
I've been so excited to see this ♥️ sending you so much love!
Yess,I've been soo excited to see this vlog!! You're amazing Valeria,inside and out!!sending you much love❤️❤️❤️
Your mother is so eloquent in her advice to you. It was wonderful. Love to you both, and thank you for posting this vlog! xx
This is still my all-time favorite vlog on youtube! Always watching this whenever I am missing my home country...Love your energy, your style, and beauty! Thank you really much!
your mother tought me A LOT in 3 minutes of video of listen to her talking... congrats for having such a strong mom
I Love watching these videos with your mother. And I Love to hear her talk. She looks so elegant and she seems so wise. Listening to her talk makes me feel peaceful and calm as if everything’s going to be ok. I think she’s amazing!
awww. Russia is so pretty! hope I could travel there. ❤❤
The conversation you were having with your mom at the end of the vlog is very empowering and holds a lot of truth regarding how people who migrate from other countries work extremely hard to get to a comfortable stage of their life. Hard work pays off. Love your vlogs!
Omg the conversation you had with your mom in the restaurant was literally so inspiring and touching, thank you so much❗ ❗
У тебя прекрасная и очаровательная мама. Она несет в себе такую духовную силу, что я чувствую её даже через экран. Желаю вам только самого лучшего в ваших мыслях, идеях и окружении вокруг. Вы прекрасны!
you have no idea how much that talk with your mother at the end of the video helped me right now. I really needed to hear such positive words about life in general. Thank you and your mother so much, Valeria xx
OMG please come to Poland one day! I will really LOVE to meet you 💕😍 greetings from Poland 💕💕👋
Yeyy another vlog!! I m so excited for this one! I would love to go to Russia and I m sure you loved it! thank you for taking us with you valeria! 💝
Awww your mom seems so nice! I like to see people learning about their culture so thanks for sharing your heritage with us.
Literally crying at your mom's words, and also at the beauty of Petersburg. I haven't had a chance to visit home in so long & seeing it through fresh eyes in your Moscow & Peter vids makes me feel all warm & fuzzy. THANKS FOR BEING REAL VALERIA!
you're mother is as inspiring as you are, it's beautiful. i love being a Canadian and seeing how the country let people in and start over for the better, you guys are so strong i really admire you
I love your relationship with your mom. Hearing a bit about your moms story is inspiring too. She's gone through hardship and instead of getting bitter, she got better and stronger. I also love learning about Russian culture since I don't know that much about it. ^w^ Thanks for sharing
Beautiful vlog, Valeria! Thank you for taking us with you!
I LOVE that you blog your conversations in Russia and translate them. Super cool. Super authentic of you.
You both are great and strong woman 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Regards from Croatia
Thank you so much for deciding to film your trip. I really needed this video today and you always make me feel better. ❤️ And your mom totally rocks, we really need to see more of her.
your mum is so inspiring i just loved every single word she said about her life and you ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
I was so fascinated with your moms story.
She is an amazing incredible strong women just like you!
your mama is the complete embodiment of a woman i strive hard to be. she is an inspiration, probably one of the strongest woman out there. y'all are lucky to have each other .
everytime your mom speaks, she beams wisdom. youre so lucky to have someone so wise to look up to. Thank you for sharing your beautiful relationship with her and for sharing your own wisdom with us. youre like a big sister I never had
Твоя мама супер женщина, молодец что воспитала такую сильную дочь!!! Классный влог получился, душевный!!! ❤️👍🏻😘
I just love you both . Your mom went through a lot and gave you an example how to be strong 💪🏼
безумно нравится твоя мама, очень приятно ее слышать и чувствуется что она просто очень хороший человек
Your mom is amazing. I can't imagine at 21 with a 2 year old, immigrating to a new country and with just $200 in my pocket. It makes you realise how easy we have it these days in terms of our first world problems. I hope to see more of your mom in your vlogs. I have been learning Russian ( only been to Moscow a few times) and it was nice listening to her speak and not really needing the subtitles as much. I lived in Vancouver, by the way, but I am now in London :)
I love your beautiful mother! She is so real and uplifting! She says the truth about lifes trails but she also tells you upfront you can face anything. #Respect
I honestly respect you for telling us about your roots and culture even though you have never lived in Russia, that is amazing! love you and your mom, you both are so inspiring!😍
Your mom is so so so strong and as a Russian language learner, your conversations help me quite a lot. Love you guys!
I loved seeing your mum. And thanks for the tips on what to take on a flight!
cant wait to watch part 2!!!
I started to cry listening to your mother. She's such a wise women and you can definitely tell where you get your strength from. And I feel like I needed to here what she said, I'm in college and have been questioning if I'm making the right career choice and I'm feel so much more confident with my decision after her say that you need to be strong.
I love your vlogs, they give me soo much hope and happiness and I don't know even why. Strange how a few minutes long video can change my day! I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel better! Love you xoxo
Every time I decided to watch this blog, something or the other came my way and i could`t make it happen.
Glad I am watching it finally.
It is such a beautiful vlog made, without even trying hard.
Your mom and you are adorably sweet and causal!
I love your conversation with your mother! I love having moments like that with mine.
I am also surprised you were able to film at the ballet! We have really strict rules about that with the companies here. It was such a treat to see some of your footage though! I saw the Russian Grand Ballet last year!
oh wow can't wait for part 2>>>> your mom is so amazing and she loves you sooo much>>>> it would be really nice if you can do a video with your mom like a QA video or just a chart video with your mom>>>>> LOVE YOU
i love you so much your content is so different and unique you never ask us to subscribe or like your videos and you always promote self love and self awareness!!Plus you and your mom are adorable !♡
👏🏼 wow. RESPECT. Hands down to your mom and you. As she said: cheers to victory and success- in whatever way you define it. 🥂
I am rewatching your Russian Travel Vlogs fort the 2nd time. Can't get enough of the connection you have with your mom, and the feelings you've been sending through these videos. It reminds me so much of mine and my mom's story (also born in the 90'S to a 19 years old mother in a Post- Soviet Union country, also seeing her as the tallest and strongest mountain I can lean on, also had to face a reconection with my dad after years and years). I just wanted to thank you for what you do by showing the reality of life and by not only being a pretty picture on the internet. You and your mom are beautiful, strong and admirable women which "сами себя сделали" - "made themselves", as your mom likes to say. It was soothing to watch you and it helped me to overcome the geographical distance between me and my mom at the moment. I am far from home now and at times it gets lonely to move on by yourself - and you both just make it easier to find reasons to become smarter, more confident, more powerful and to just jump over the condition that i'm just a tiny, frail woman. Lots of love to you and your family
I really loved the talk between you and your mom. you both inspire me. now I know what to do whenever I feel weak. thank you so much for this blog.
I love you, your mom and the strength you both have. It reminds me of my family and the way I was raised surrounded only by strong women. Thank you for inspiring me to become a strong successful woman myself. And thank you for showing me Russia the way I imagine it to be- like a fairytale.
❤❤❤
omg I'm half russian and I can't wait until I take a trip with my mom like that one day, This was so beautiful and You and your Mom are Amazing people, I have never been to Russia but one thing I know for sure from you and your mom and my mom is that Russians are such amazing, strong and kind people !! love you valeria keep on going
Such a beautiful video! Awesome and beautiful bonding time with your mum. Your mums talk in the restaurant even got me in tears! You girls are such a great example of strong empowered women who now empower other girls and women. ❤️❤️
Сердечное тебе спасибо за это видео, солнышко! Нашей культуре так не хватает позитивной репрезентации в последнее время. Я рада, что ты снова дома! ❤️❤️
You and your moms relationship is so beautiful. She’s so wise and positive. 😊
I was so excited to hear on your Insta stories you would be posting a travel blog on your trip to Russia, I'm slightly fascinated by Russian history/culture. This is such a great video, both you and your mom are so beautiful, and what your mom had to say was truly inspiring. It made me think of "Here's to strong women; May we know them, May we be them, May we raise them". Thank you so much for sharing these moments, I feel so happy when I watch your videos. You are such an incredible person, and I hope everything you're working hard for comes true because you deserve it.
Sending lots of love and forever good vibes!! XOXO
Thank you so so much
Your mom is amazing !You're so lucky to have her as your mom!
I know this is an older video but I’m in tears watching you and your mother speak at dinner. She is so beautiful and so wise, and from the beginning believed in you from what it sounds like, even when you may not have believed in yourself. And I love how she came to name you. You live up to your strength. And you are both gorgeous women inside and out ❤️
Love, love, love this vlog!! I wish it was even longer. More convos with your mom (maybe a q&a ?) Looking forward to more Russia vlog ♡
Your mum is a great example of a wise and strong mum. I'm so glad I have one too. She taught me to work hard and strive for my dreams. She discouraged settling in life- for the wrong partner or career. Here is to the strong mothers!
Your mother reminds me of mine! She's so happy and humble but serious and in control. I love how she talks to you. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦
Your mum has an amazing story. We need more strong people in the world like you and your mother.
I enjoy watching videos with your mother. It’s so motivating listening to her story and you both are very strong and inspiring women. Love from Bulgaria ❤️
Valeria hi!

Such a beautiful video, especially the talk. It's interesting to get to know your family history. You're so natural, love you
Your mother's way of expressing herself is outstanding ❤️
Watching this makes me miss my mom very much! I love this vlog, so heartwarming and so inspiring! ❤
Your mama and you reminds me of my relationship with my mother, I see now why you're so lively and strong because you had such an amazing role model in your life. You always give me motivation when I watch your videos to continue on because life will always work out 💗 seeing this now, I promise to myself and my mom and family that I'll get them out of whatever crisis we're having rn. Thank you Valeria, please never stop being an inspiration to young girls like me 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I can see the huge role your mother plays in your life. The both of you are so wise. You and her are such beautiful ladies inside and out. Love you both!😘❤️
Valeria...I see where you get your strength from. Your mother. She seems like such an intelligent, cultured, and wise woman. It's amazing. I'd like to know more of her story one day :)
Russia seems like a beautiful country too, full of history, both terrifying and revolutionary, I can't wait for the next vlog! xoxo
Your mother is amazing ! I loved this vlog xoxo
Valeria, watching you brings me so much happiness. You are filled with such light! I know its wrong to make assumptions about people, but I truly believe you're a beautiful person inside and out. Much Love!!
Валерия, очень приятно смотреть ваши влоги, особенно когда вы с мамой. Очень понравилось последние минуты видео так как всегда обожаю слушать истории сильных женщин! Люблю вас ☺
Your mums words made me tear up, she's so authentic ❤️
My mom cried when your mother talked about her life... my grandmother was from Ukraine and she had to left all her family at the age of 12 because of the war and never saw them again...
I love the relationship you have with your mom. So beautiful ❤️
Такая красота! I also love how you let us get to know your mother, it reminds me of my personal talks with my own mom.
We neeeed a sit down talk with your mom video ! She's too inspiring and strong like you are , it touched me so much !
I got notification, i clicked right away. This is how much I'm obsessed with my sweetheart Valeria and your vlogs😘❤. And you look so gorgeous as always 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Oh my gosh. Your Mum's story at the end was incredible. Strong woman and strong daughter. ❤️
Hi Valeria, I just subscribed to your channel. It was nice to see you with your mom, since my dad just passed away and my mom has dementia. It gives me great comfort to see someone with a strong relationship with their mom. She is very wise and made me smile throughout the vlog.
