I guess nobody in Wisconsin explained to this young foreign girl that our City Centers are generally pretty dangerous at night, where she comes from it is generally the best part of the city. Here in America it's usually the worst part unfortunately. I'm glad she had nothing more than a bad experience.
It's political - but some cities have police, some police themselves, Minneapolis is currently a police yourself town. Wasn't like that 20 years ago. Although, yes, all cities have areas your (especially a female) should go alone late at night. Love that you had a great time/experience in Wisconsin though! :)
Russia is a safe place even in the biggest cities, but America is the complete opposite. The cities in America are dangerous in the day, and extremely dangerous at night.
That was interesting. Minong - population 500. But the best thing about it was that Vika could save some money. If she went to California, she would go back home owing $3,000.
Lmao yeah you're probably right unless you have a good like, really good education and shit. I'm from San Diego so I understand that. Though it's really only in Downtown where things get especially pricy but that's every state I suppose.
I use to have a Chevy Impala, definitely good she got the car to explore. We like the Russian's in the States, don't believe the propaganda of being "enemies"
True. Always separate government from the citizens. Citizens don’t agree with everything their government does. People are just people who want stability and a decent life. Most people are good people.
@@chasetonga Democrats just use Russia as a boogie man to fear monger. We shouldn't even be political enemies with them anymore as are aren't competing interests anymore. With China a real enemy we should still like Chinese people and just not like the government. But with Russia there isnt even a reason for our governments to dislike each other.
@@thomasdemay9805 I'm sorry - WTF? Have you drunk that much Kool-Aid that you have forgotten about Russia invading Crimea and annexing it? Not to mention the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17? Or perhaps the poisoning and murder of opposition leaders in Russia as well as within other sovereign nations (U.K.)? Maybe you recall the still ongoing Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine? Ok, perhaps something more current - Belarus fraudulent elections, where Russia has "offered to help"?
She was in Minong, about 60 miles south of Duluth, Minnesota. It is a very isolated part of the US, hence the dearth of workers. (I am from Chippewa Falls.) The nice thing about that area is the mosquitoes are so large that they can't fit through windows or doorways.
I live in northern Wisconsin where it's sparsely populated. But when I think of Washburn county that is truly the middle of nowhere. Grats to Vika for not going crazy.
I'm from Milwaukee Wisconsin. The Dells or Door County are more family friendly. The thing to do in the summer in Wisconsin is to get out of the city and go"up north" to the lakes and forests.
Devils Lake was my go to campground back in the 80's. I grew up in northern Illinois and loved visiting Milwaukee especially during the music fest. Loved the Safe House too!
You just absolutely blew my mind!! The man in the video, Bob, is my uncle. And Sabrina is my cousin. I lived right down the road from this cabin and the bar. When the picture of Bob came it, I literally screeched. It was so shocking!!! (Edit: of course you had to get the dog in there. He loves his dogs 😂)
Glad you liked Wisconsin! You don't normally hear of people travelling to Minong. I'm from Superior, and it's very cool to hear someone's perspective on our area!
I wouldn't go near any of America's big cities these days. I live 30 minutes from Minneapolis and haven't visited that toilet for any reason in over a year
20 years ago I was one of the first students in Poland allowed to participate in the Work and Travel programme. I brought many great memories and made some great friends. I really enjoyed your sister recounting her American experience. Brave girl with big heart!
Vika is a lovely, poised, and articulate young lady. I'm glad she chose a rural area to live and work in. Much safer, and the people are down to earth and friendly. If she plans another trip to the U.S., I encourage her to come to Maine. It is beautiful, safe, and she would be welcomed. Many Maine businesses look for workers from abroad. I look forward to the day when Russia and the U.S. can set aside their geopolitical quarrels, and find common cause. There is much that binds us together.
Wisconsin is a great place if you are looking to experience "real" middle America, particularly if you will just be here for the summer. It is the cheese, paper, and beer capital of America. However, it will be very cold in winter, but that will not bother someone from Russia :).
@Doug Sawyer I would as soon be kicked in the balls than go to Denver. Every time I do I dread it. Colorado's problem is the large number of east coast and west coast wackos that have infiltrated the place. Sadly these same wackos are no leaving Colorado for my home state of MT.
For anyone who is interested, I went to Russia about 4 years ago. I took a cruise on the Volga from Moscow to Rostov. I cannot describe how fantastic it was. Incredible history. It cost 2000, plus 800 airfare for 18 days!! You will never find a better deal.
I've been to Russia twice and I was supposed to be back there last April but thanks to the covid virus that last trip didn't happen. Now I'm waiting for the borders to open and I'll be back. My girlfriend lives in Petrozavodsk and I've been through most cities and villages from St. Petersburg through Moscow and further south and as far east as Ulyanovsk. The last city was a 14 hour train trip to that city. I have never been on a train for that long and I felt like I was still moving after I got off of it. :-)))) It was quite an experience. Having someone drive me around all over western Russia was really something because they drive in that country like they do in Chicago.

Slava, Vika is a fantastic sister, I believe just about every American would enjoy her friendship in any social or work place, she is obviously a beautiful young girl. Hunting bats with a fish net, now that's brave! ~ I'm 68 yo, and when I used to live in a small town in Idaho in the 1970's, the local cops would help us get home after drinking to much. Now a days they would rather charge us with a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) which can cost $10,000 or more in legal fees, we can loose our license and even go to jail. The lawyers, judges and cops make lots of money doing this, it's really corrupt. ~ I'm so glad Vika is OK, after visiting Minneapolis down town at night by herself, I wouldn't recommend a man do that, but she is brave. Thank you Vika, and great video Slava.
Civil Forfeiture and other internationalization that was causing division among the U.S. along with the enemies of the U.S. citizen and people began a hardcore brainwashing, cult programming and mind control operation to Delgado style mask armed rob whatever they can get away with desperately compounding and concealing and obstructing until brute force bold. Thanks for the reminder. The good men in my life that are mostly dead reminded me of that and even speeding at one time or even outrunning police like wasn't a big deal in some jurisdictions. Like if you can do that, then you need to be a deputy or higher rank (I think to wrangle in to straighten with more public oversight at least was the intent).
America is like visiting several countries. Meanining each state is so different. You can have hot weather all year or live in snow depending in which state. You can be around thousands of people or live in woods. You can be on the beach or living in historical sites. Redwood Forrest or statue of liberty. USA so amazing can spend a life time going to each state and every state showing you something else
Such a great story and glad to see Vickie talking as she is very shy on camera. Lots of problems in the USA at the moment and even in Wisconsin so she picked a good time to visit.. Keep up the amazing videos as I love them and glad to see your sister talking English, you've got such a great family & friend..
@@ChrisUrsiny ~ You can feel the hatred of BLM/Antifa toward the white Americans, they're envious and jealous that white people have survived and for some of us have prospered. Shouldn't all people have the same right to survive and prosper within a free and law abiding society. But BLM/Antifa are anarchist, and well funded, and the mainstream media supports them, government courts and law enforcement are lenient with them, They allow them to protest with out masks on and not social distance. When Goodyear supports LGBTQ agenda and Black Lives Matter we can assume their major stock holders also support these causes and most of Wall Street corporations also support these causes and it's no coincidence the United Nations and the Vatican also support these causes too.
This is a wonderfully neat video...oh how I wish more people from Russia and the USA could have experiences such as these. I had the fantastic opportunity in 2009 and 2010 to visit Russia and it in a most positive way changed my life. If it were possible to have another Motherland... Russia would be my second Motherland. And before my life is over, I dream to visit Russia again and not just for two or three weeks but for several months. Your series of videos have been special for me...to see parts of real Russian life that I did not get to experience on my trips has been so intriguing for me. I thank you for your videos and this one was especially heart warming. Also it was truly enjoyable to hear your sister talk as often she is very reserved in many of your other videos. Blessings to all things Russian and most especially to the Russian people!
This girl seem to be a rare gem with outstanding manners and a great disposition... I hope she reads this and takes my advice: do not settle for less than a GREAT man that has great character. This girl will make an outstanding wife and mother.
SPIDER LILIEZ right? What does that have to do with anything in this video? She’s speaking about an experience, and shares nothing about character. The main comment seems sexist to me. Women’s objective is not just to become wives
Keep that energy. Wisconsin is a flyover state, NJ is nestled between two world-class cities. Take a short drive and you can be in vast nature preserves with beautiful hikes or in the largest city in the country. Not to mention the cultural diversity of the state, and all the different things to do. From Beaches, to mountains, to city life. Wisconsin truly has nothing that can compare.
As a Wisconsinite myself, it was fun to hear your story! I live in a suburb of Milwaukee and was so impressed with your bravery to drive all over the place! Can't believe you drove into Minneapolis all by yourself. I, too, was surprised that it was not a positive experience there. But I am glad you enjoyed Wisconsin. Your english is AMAZING and I hope you will come visit again!😄🇺🇸
I'm glad you had a safe trip! Sadly now in U.S. many of our cities are not safe and you could have had a bad time. Thank you for coming! I wish I could visit Russia one day. I enjoy your videos and wish everyone well! You are lucky both of you to have such a good family!
I often visit this channel and enjoy the superb quality of each program. I’m continually amazed at how well the host speaks English (I’ve spent decades trying to converse in German and I speak as well as a small child). Both brother and sister speak English with extraordinary skill. I find that amazing!
Hey Slava and Vika! OMG, her english is really good. Very nice to hear her speak about her time in America. Cute stories and she is very brave traveling alone to Wisconsin. I hope you two can travel together to America in the future. Please come to Georgia, USA. I have a farm and lots of animals. Take care. Loved the video!
Fantastic. I enjoy your videos. Great to hear and see about Vika's trip. So sorry about any bad times that she had. Much of our country is safe all the time.....but there are areas....especially inner big cities that have very bad problems as she saw...unfortunately. Keep up the good work. Your family is great. AND thanks for your video visits to Russia. Yes...most Americans don't have a clue about Russia, including me. But, your videos have helped enlarge my knowledge of at least a part of Russia.
What a great story and great to hear Vika speak english. You guys both speak english so well. It takes a lot of courage to travel like that. Vika is soft spoken yet very brave and strong 🙂
Vika, I'm sooooo proud of you!! I actually got tears in my eyes. You were very brave to experience all of that alone, as a young lady. I've traveled alone a lot, so I've experienced all kinds of intense emotions!:) I can relate to your experiences. I live in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. I prefer to explore "God's Country" when I travel, the national parks are awesome and state parks, as well. It sounds like you had a valuable life experience, that's what life is about.
She has a lot of courage to do what she did. I can only image how I would do if the story was reversed and I was living in a small town in Russia for the summer. By the way she is a very attractive young lady as well as brave.
Thanks for the great video Vicky, pleased you had a nice time and you stayed safe, also your english is very good.. next time visit Australia we would love to see you... 😊
There's a lot of Americans of Slavic descent in the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan area. One of the mayors in Minnesota is Ludchenko or something like that.
Hello, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Awesome videos... glad your sister had a chance to visit and work in Wisconsin. Love your family countryside home. Your videos clearly show that Russian people should not be feared. Family-oriented is a great thing.
I saw your sister went in 2019. What a difference a year makes. Right now things are super crazy in the cities. I live in mid wisconsin, so we are still quiet and safe for most parts. I went to the twin cities, exactly this time last year. I enjoyed it! There were shady people, but they didn't bother us that much. I was sad I couldn't go to a new city this year. Scary and covad 19.
You have taken up the right approach - to know a place you need to hang out with the locals and make an effort to understand the local culture to feel the warmth of a place. Speaking from my own experience - I moved to the UK and got to know the place and society really through close interaction with the locals.
Bravo! I'm happy Vika talked about her trip. I did something similar when I was 13; spent the summer working at a fishing resort in Washburn County Wisconsin about 30 miles from Minong. It is a beautiful state. I have also spent a lot of time in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I'm a Chicagoan and outside of Chicago, I think the Twin Cities (TC) are the gem of the Midwest. I have been in city center Minneapolis late at night on a number of occasions because I love live music so I go to First Avenue/7th Street Entry. I agree, the area does get rather seedy very late so I don't hang around when I leave the venue. Like a lot of Midwest cities, TC is a city of neighborhoods. Other than around the university, there is no real central place place for nightlife. It is spread around the city. Anyway, sounds like the Wisconsin was a great experience for Vika and it was nice to hear her story.
She looks like a soft spoken, sweet and hardworking person. Loved listening to her. I wish god be with you and give you good health and strength to fight it out. Keep rocking. Salute from India👋
If you are single woman wandering around a US city after dark you HAVE TO know which areas are okay and which are not! It can get very dangerous very quickly.
I know the street where she was in the video (Hennepin Ave). I've been there at night many times. It's mostly OK, but there are so many bars there that you'll inevitably be encountering drunk people. Minneapolis / St. Paul is quite a safe metro compared to most American cities.
Northern Wisconsin is just like the Ural Mountains, that's interesting! I'm glad you had a fun time in our North woods! You had a funny bat problem, I had a funny bear problem. I chased the bear out with a pancake flipper, bears have a weakness for blueberry pancakes.
Wow! I am so sorry you had negative experiences in Wisconsin - like the bat, the insane bicycle commute, the dog chasing you, and also the bad experience in Minneapolis. But I admire your courage and sense of adventure. I live in Wisconsin (and have for decades), and there are many good people here. Hope you're able to return some time and things work out better. Wishing you the very best!
Mr. Slava, I live with my family 15 minutes drive from where Vicka was out in Minneapolis at night. Always go with another person and yes she is either brave or didn't know it can be a safety issue. It can also be fun going to theater plays like the Guthrie in Minneapolis or the Ordway in St.Paul in the evening so there are definitely areas that are a blessing. After midnight in Any city is always questionable at best. She could have gone too the mall of America in Bloomington. Next time ask for opinions from the natives when you take a trip wherever. People love to help. Take care Sir and Young Lady. I'll keep watching. Paka👍
Hahaha! I just found this. I've lived in Wisconsin for 31 years, since I was 7 years old, so the title grabbed my attention! Lol! 😂🤣 I'm glad you had a great experience here! 🤗🤗🤗 Edit: I forgot to mention that I love your kitty! He's so cute! 😻😻😻
Im an indian living currently in US for past 3 years holding H1b, travelled and worked in russia as well but russians are more friendly and helpful my office mates are more helpful in russia one of my friend even taken to his house and took care like me as their family you will not get this much hospitality in US Russians are best in it , Love russia
Well the less classy but probably more accurate description is that cities here are like a seat on a toilet. You are Ok if on the perimeter but go to the center and get in deep shit.
@@jeffsnider3588 Rofl! To be strictly accurate, most cities have that area with the theaters and the higher class entertainment where the police presence is high and you will be safe in the evenings, if not after midnight. But how is a foreigner supposed to know the difference between them and the urban areas where one simply does not go?
Very cool vid! I love that she hung in there and made the most of her stay. You two, brother and sister exemplify today's young people who consider the world theirs to travel where they wish. IT IS! We all simply need to go...regardless of whatever restrictions...this is our world!
For the first time, she has spoken, in front of camera. I am surprised to see, her communication skill. She is pretty conversant in english. Articulate.
You have good English, and you tell a good story. I think you are brave,and I also see wisdom. I commend you for sticking with the cabin,and commitment to the bar- restaurant job. The reason I watched this video is because I'm from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Born and raised! Thank you for your honesty! I enjoyed the video 😊
Most US cities are pretty much dead after normal business hours and over the weekend because most people who work in the cities live in the suburbs. They don't want to work and live downtown. Suburban sprawl is the term used and its been that way since the 1950s. The exceptions are the very large US cities like Manhattan, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco. They have night life but you still have to be careful where you roam. Vika your English is excellent! Of course, your Brother's English is perfect. I'm glad you got to see another part of the US. Maybe next time you can see the beaches of Florida on the Gulf Coast side like Panama City or Destin. Both are beautiful and American favorites!
San Francisco is not a large US city. Not geographically or by population. Has less than 1 million people and its population is decreasing. LA and San Diego are much bigger California cities. Even San Jose is bigger.
@Alexandra Feodorovna Nice try. Combined all those are 2,449,772. San Diego County alone is 3.34 million. Los Angeles County is over TEN MILLION! Southern California dwarfs NorCal.
I'm so happy you chose to come to Wisconsin! I don't think it is so remote. I live near Madison, in a town of 5000. It is safe and quiet, yet close to Madison and Milwaukee. Perhaps it would have been better for you if you could have found a placement something like that. You were very brave to live in the north country in a cabin by yourself! I've had bats in my house. Even the men run away from them! It's funny, but also scary, I agree. Sounds like the people around you were very nice. Glad it turned out to be a good experience for you. I would have loved the borscht and whatever else you cooked.
How cool was this video. It's nice to see someone exploring the world and US had the privilege of being part of what seems like a wonderful journey. The world needs more of this. ( funny, I was searching for videos of canon camera and UA-cam recommended this video...hahaha. Glad I watched it.)
Next time either of you visit the US, come out here to Montana. We don't have much for cities but the nature is amazing. I like that you got Vika to do an interview. She did an excellent job describing her time in the US.
I agree Andy, Vika would have a wonderful time in Montana or Wyoming. I really hope she can come back. Slava too. Just stay far away from the cities. Cities such as Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle and Portland are no longer safe for anyone at anytime of day or night.
@@Bentcypress Those who paint American cities as unsafe need only look towards what happens in cities in some of the rest of the world to learn that the viewpoint is skewed, usually from growing up in rural areas where the worst thing that ever happens at night is mosquito bites, not seeing what the dog (or cattle) left behind until too late, or you bringing in a cloud of gnats when you go inside. Oh, and tripping over the trailer hitch walking behind the truck, I still have scars on my shins...
Such a sweetie! Glad you got the chance to explore small-town America. Also glad that small-town America got the chance to learn more about you and your culture.
In Wisconsin we don’t have a town drunk, we all take turns
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIVE IN GREENBAY NEXT TO THE CEMENT PLANT.LMAO.
Lived in Wausau for a year, nice people, loved it, more drunk drivers than I've seen anywhere else in my life.

Vika is a lovely, poised, and articulate young lady. I'm glad she chose a rural area to live and work in. Much safer, and the people are down to earth and friendly.

Wisconsin is a great place if you are looking to experience "real" middle America, particularly if you will just be here for the summer. It is the cheese, paper, and beer capital of America. However, it will be very cold in winter, but that will not bother someone from Russia :).

Doug Sawyer Depends on where you go and what you like to do.

Hunting bats with a fish net, now that's brave! ~ I'm 68 yo, and when I used to live in a small town in Idaho in the 1970's, the local cops would help us get home after drinking to much. Now a days they would rather charge us with a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) which can cost $10,000 or more in legal fees, we can loose our license and even go to jail. The lawyers, judges and cops make lots of money doing this, it's really corrupt. ~ I'm so glad Vika is OK, after visiting Minneapolis down town at night by herself, I wouldn't recommend a man do that, but she is brave. Thank you Vika, and great video Slava.
Civil Forfeiture and other internationalization that was causing division among the U.S. along with the enemies of the U.S. citizen and people began a hardcore brainwashing, cult programming and mind control operation to Delgado style mask armed rob whatever they can get away with desperately compounding and concealing and obstructing until brute force bold. Thanks for the reminder. The good men in my life that are mostly dead reminded me of that and even speeding at one time or even outrunning police like wasn't a big deal in some jurisdictions. Like if you can do that, then you need to be a deputy or higher rank (I think to wrangle in to straighten with more public oversight at least was the intent).
What a great set of stories. So good to see some of the USA through her eyes. Thanks so much. What a great experience.
America is like visiting several countries. Meanining each state is so different. You can have hot weather all year or live in snow depending in which state. You can be around thousands of people or live in woods. You can be on the beach or living in historical sites. Redwood Forrest or statue of liberty. USA so amazing can spend a life time going to each state and every state showing you something else
When the camera shy sister finally speaks on camera .
Brother - IN TEARS
Haha
He will be in tears when she starts sounding like him with his accent lol. Just kidding brother. 😉
I wasn't sure where he was from when I watched one of his videos and he seemed to have a slight southern accent at times. Lol
Such a great story and glad to see Vickie talking as she is very shy on camera. Lots of problems in the USA at the moment and even in Wisconsin so she picked a good time to visit.. Keep up the amazing videos as I love them and glad to see your sister talking English, you've got such a great family & friend..
If it's not a secret, what problems are there in the USA nowadays except COVID and forthcoming elections?
@@oOcitizenOo we have "problems" in the major cities regarding BLM/Antifa riots...
@@ChrisUrsiny What news do you watch???
@@ibchristensen189 real news regarding the marxists from BLM/Antifa: ua-cam.com/video/75uwKcD3dv4/v-deo.html
@@ChrisUrsiny ~ You can feel the hatred of BLM/Antifa toward the white Americans, they're envious and jealous that white people have survived and for some of us have prospered. Shouldn't all people have the same right to survive and prosper within a free and law abiding society. But BLM/Antifa are anarchist, and well funded, and the mainstream media supports them, government courts and law enforcement are lenient with them, They allow them to protest with out masks on and not social distance.
When Goodyear supports LGBTQ agenda and Black Lives Matter we can assume their major stock holders also support these causes and most of Wall Street corporations also support these causes and it's no coincidence the United Nations and the Vatican also support these causes too.
This is a wonderfully neat video...oh how I wish more people from Russia and the USA could have experiences such as these. I had the fantastic opportunity in 2009 and 2010 to visit Russia and it in a most positive way changed my life. If it were possible to have another Motherland... Russia would be my second Motherland. And before my life is over, I dream to visit Russia again and not just for two or three weeks but for several months. Your series of videos have been special for me...to see parts of real Russian life that I did not get to experience on my trips has been so intriguing for me. I thank you for your videos and this one was especially heart warming. Also it was truly enjoyable to hear your sister talk as often she is very reserved in many of your other videos. Blessings to all things Russian and most especially to the Russian people!
I think Wisconsin is a great choice. I was in Michigan in 2019 for about 2 weeks. In November, out of season, there was no one around and I loved it.
I can’t believe she is talking that good to the camera. She is camera shy ☺️ like she never talked to the camera 🥰🥰🤗
This girl seem to be a rare gem with outstanding manners and a great disposition... I hope she reads this and takes my advice: do not settle for less than a GREAT man that has great character. This girl will make an outstanding wife and mother.
Most Russians women that I meet in Europe are like this
Girls like this simply don't exist in America any more. If you're stuck in the States, best to stay single.
I couldn't agree more, i hope Vika will read ur comment
So you're saying, just because a woman is not to your liking they can't be good wives? WTF.
SPIDER LILIEZ right? What does that have to do with anything in this video? She’s speaking about an experience, and shares nothing about character. The main comment seems sexist to me. Women’s objective is not just to become wives
Love that she got an Impala! The quintessential midwestern car.
Why did you choose Wisconsin over New Jersey ? Correct answer: "Have you been to NJ?????"
That's all I could think when they said that, I'm from Wisconsin so I laughed hard
Because NJ is a Arm Pit
She has been to NJ the time before.
Cuz Wisconsin is awesome
Keep that energy. Wisconsin is a flyover state, NJ is nestled between two world-class cities. Take a short drive and you can be in vast nature preserves with beautiful hikes or in the largest city in the country. Not to mention the cultural diversity of the state, and all the different things to do. From Beaches, to mountains, to city life. Wisconsin truly has nothing that can compare.
Glad you survived Minnesota. That was very dangerous . May God keep you for the rest of your adventures! I think your English is quite well. God Bless
@@Americanmade71580 Did YOU watch the video? 13:25 she talks about Minnesota.
As a Wisconsinite myself, it was fun to hear your story! I live in a suburb of Milwaukee and was so impressed with your bravery to drive all over the place! Can't believe you drove into Minneapolis all by yourself. I, too, was surprised that it was not a positive experience there. But I am glad you enjoyed Wisconsin. Your english is AMAZING and I hope you will come visit again!😄🇺🇸
I'm glad you had a safe trip! Sadly now in U.S. many of our cities are not safe and you could have had a bad time. Thank you for coming! I wish I could visit Russia one day.
I enjoy your videos and wish everyone well! You are lucky both of you to have such a good family!
Oh my god, she is so brave and so sweet 💗 I'm glad that everything went well without any hiccups and she had fun memories. Bravo for that. 👏👏👏
I often visit this channel and enjoy the superb quality of each program. I’m continually amazed at how well the host speaks English (I’ve spent decades trying to converse in German and I speak as well as a small child). Both brother and sister speak English with extraordinary skill. I find that amazing!
As a Wisconsin resident, I'm glad your time here went well. Please visit again! There is actually a Russian Orthodox church a few blocks from my home.
That was so cool. I live in Wisconsin.
I'm glad you had a positive experience.
What a wonderful thing for Vika to share. Thank you. We really enjoyed it. ❤
Hey Slava and Vika! OMG, her english is really good. Very nice to hear her speak about her time in America. Cute stories and she is very brave traveling alone to Wisconsin. I hope you two can travel together to America in the future. Please come to Georgia, USA. I have a farm and lots of animals. Take care. Loved the video!
Thanks for the invitation! we'd love to!
it's good but it seems she sometimes confuses with sequence of Tenses.
@@grandmajane2593 If they are carrying rabies they are certainly dangerous to people.
Nice story. Choosing a small country town was really a good decision.
Fantastic. I enjoy your videos. Great to hear and see about Vika's trip. So sorry about any bad times that she had. Much of our country is safe all the time.....but there are areas....especially inner big cities that have very bad problems as she saw...unfortunately. Keep up the good work. Your family is great. AND thanks for your video visits to Russia. Yes...most Americans don't have a clue about Russia, including me. But, your videos have helped enlarge my knowledge of at least a part of Russia.
Great Story and You have the Most Humble Sister Ever ! ❤️
What a great story and great to hear Vika speak english. You guys both speak english so well. It takes a lot of courage to travel like that. Vika is soft spoken yet very brave and strong 🙂
Vika, I'm sooooo proud of you!! I actually got tears in my eyes. You were very brave to experience all of that alone, as a young lady. I've traveled alone a lot, so I've experienced all kinds of intense emotions!:) I can relate to your experiences. I live in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. I prefer to explore "God's Country" when I travel, the national parks are awesome and state parks, as well. It sounds like you had a valuable life experience, that's what life is about.
Wow! Your sister is amazing! She just went to Minneapolis all by herself and parked without been familiar with the location! She is fearless!
What a beautiful young lady! Thanks for sharing your story Vika!
I straight away fall in love with her simplicity.
Interesting! I love in Milwaukee and I’m Russian. We have a HUGE Russian community.
I would no longer set foot in Milwaukee any more than I would set foot in Chicago. Both cities are now war zones.
such a brave young lady
I'm glad she had such a good time in the US. Thanks for sharing.
Always impressed with Russia Plus. Thank you for this video.
Our pleasure!
The comment section of this video is the best, so much positivity. Good Job Slava and Vika. Keep it up, regards from Malaysia!
Hey, I know you :P
@@zerocube7382 Hi, how though?
@@fadlinlinsai we used to work together about 7 years ago lol.
@@zerocube7382 What is your real name? maybe I will know you then haha
@@fadlinlinsai yeah you definitely know me if I tell you my name lol
She has a lot of courage to do what she did. I can only image how I would do if the story was reversed and I was living in a small town in Russia for the summer. By the way she is a very attractive young lady as well as brave.
Fantastic and educational video! I was raised in Northern Wisconsin east of Minong! I truly hope you enjoyed your experience and time here.
Thanks for the great video Vicky, pleased you had a nice time and you stayed safe, also your english is very good.. next time visit Australia we would love to see you... 😊
There's a lot of Americans of Slavic descent in the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan area. One of the mayors in Minnesota is Ludchenko or something like that.
Illinois too.
Stalin's daughter retreated lived and died in Wisconsin
so funny....speaking russian to the Wisconsin bat 😂 too cute 😍
Hello, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Awesome videos... glad your sister had a chance to visit and work in Wisconsin. Love your family countryside home. Your videos clearly show that Russian people should not be feared. Family-oriented is a great thing.
Great job Victoria! Your English is very good and I enjoyed your story. Definitely shows that you don’t have to be shy on the camera!
I saw your sister went in 2019. What a difference a year makes. Right now things are super crazy in the cities. I live in mid wisconsin, so we are still quiet and safe for most parts. I went to the twin cities, exactly this time last year. I enjoyed it! There were shady people, but they didn't bother us that much. I was sad I couldn't go to a new city this year. Scary and covad 19.
You have taken up the right approach - to know a place you need to hang out with the locals and make an effort to understand the local culture to feel the warmth of a place. Speaking from my own experience - I moved to the UK and got to know the place and society really through close interaction with the locals.
Great advice about going to small places. The people are friendly, welcoming, and accommodating.
Totally agree!
You have an awesome family. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. 👍🙏
I have lived in Wisconsin all my life ... I'm here now. Ask me anything :) ..... Cheers
Bravo! I'm happy Vika talked about her trip. I did something similar when I was 13; spent the summer working at a fishing resort in Washburn County Wisconsin about 30 miles from Minong. It is a beautiful state. I have also spent a lot of time in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I'm a Chicagoan and outside of Chicago, I think the Twin Cities (TC) are the gem of the Midwest. I have been in city center Minneapolis late at night on a number of occasions because I love live music so I go to First Avenue/7th Street Entry. I agree, the area does get rather seedy very late so I don't hang around when I leave the venue. Like a lot of Midwest cities, TC is a city of neighborhoods. Other than around the university, there is no real central place place for nightlife. It is spread around the city. Anyway, sounds like the Wisconsin was a great experience for Vika and it was nice to hear her story.
I can see how kind she is.
Thanks.
She looks like a soft spoken, sweet and hardworking person. Loved listening to her. I wish god be with you and give you good health and strength to fight it out. Keep rocking. Salute from India👋
If you are single woman wandering around a US city after dark you HAVE TO know which areas are okay and which are not! It can get very dangerous very quickly.
It only got that way because diversity is not a strength.
get very dangerous for a girl from Siberia?
I know the street where she was in the video (Hennepin Ave). I've been there at night many times. It's mostly OK, but there are so many bars there that you'll inevitably be encountering drunk people. Minneapolis / St. Paul is quite a safe metro compared to most American cities.
Great video! Your Sister seems so sweet too. I'm glad that overall she had a good time here in the states.
Thanks for this. You are doing more good than you can imagine.
So glad that your sister had an overall good time!
Northern Wisconsin is just like the Ural Mountains, that's interesting! I'm glad you had a fun time in our North woods! You had a funny bat problem, I had a funny bear problem. I chased the bear out with a pancake flipper, bears have a weakness for blueberry pancakes.
Wow! I am so sorry you had negative experiences in Wisconsin - like the bat, the insane bicycle commute, the dog chasing you, and also the bad experience in Minneapolis. But I admire your courage and sense of adventure. I live in Wisconsin (and have for decades), and there are many good people here. Hope you're able to return some time and things work out better. Wishing you the very best!
I think her good experiences balanced the bad.
@@YSLRD It is mostly Blacks that cause the problem
So glad you had a good time in Wisconsin. Come back any time!
Thank you for sharing this perspective. I live in a small WI town. Cool to hear other people's experiences.
Your sister is beautiful. I really like your videos. This is what UA-cam should be. I would like to find videos about other countries, too. Thank you
Mr. Slava, I live with my family 15 minutes drive from where Vicka was out in Minneapolis at night. Always go with another person and yes she is either brave or didn't know it can be a safety issue. It can also be fun going to theater plays like the Guthrie in Minneapolis or the Ordway in St.Paul in the evening so there are definitely areas that are a blessing. After midnight in Any city is always questionable at best. She could have gone too the mall of America in Bloomington. Next time ask for opinions from the natives when you take a trip wherever. People love to help. Take care Sir and Young Lady. I'll keep watching. Paka👍
Hahaha! I just found this. I've lived in Wisconsin for 31 years, since I was 7 years old, so the title grabbed my attention! Lol! 😂🤣 I'm glad you had a great experience here! 🤗🤗🤗
Edit: I forgot to mention that I love your kitty! He's so cute! 😻😻😻
Its very interesting to see your experiences from an area which most Wisconsinites are not even familiar with. Very cool video!
Im an indian living currently in US for past 3 years holding H1b, travelled and worked in russia as well but russians are more friendly and helpful my office mates are more helpful in russia one of my friend even taken to his house and took care like me as their family you will not get this much hospitality in US Russians are best in it , Love russia
@@meronvlogzYes same,software developer
Glad things worked out, I tell foreigners that American cities are like a Doughnut, nothing in the center and everything around it.
Haha wow a doughnut. Never heard this one before
Well the less classy but probably more accurate description is that cities here are like a seat on a toilet. You are Ok if on the perimeter but go to the center and get in deep shit.
Haha that's funny and sad at the same time.
@@jeffsnider3588 Rofl! To be strictly accurate, most cities have that area with the theaters and the higher class entertainment where the police presence is high and you will be safe in the evenings, if not after midnight. But how is a foreigner supposed to know the difference between them and the urban areas where one simply does not go?
@@erynlasgalen1949 - Exactly
Very cool vid! I love that she hung in there and made the most of her stay. You two, brother and sister exemplify today's young people who consider the world theirs to travel where they wish. IT IS! We all simply need to go...regardless of whatever restrictions...this is our world!
I am glad that you came to visit our beautiful state and that we treated you well!
For the first time, she has spoken, in front of camera. I am surprised to see, her communication skill. She is pretty conversant in english. Articulate.
First time watching. Don't know your story but your english is better than mine and I grew up in the US. lol. Your sis's is really good too.
Thank you Vika. Nice to hear your story.
You have good English, and you tell a good story. I think you are brave,and I also see wisdom. I commend you for sticking with the cabin,and commitment to the bar- restaurant job. The reason I watched this video is because I'm from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Born and raised!
Thank you for your honesty!
I enjoyed the video 😊
Most US cities are pretty much dead after normal business hours and over the weekend because most people who work in the cities live in the suburbs. They don't want to work and live downtown. Suburban sprawl is the term used and its been that way since the 1950s. The exceptions are the very large US cities like Manhattan, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco. They have night life but you still have to be careful where you roam.
Vika your English is excellent! Of course, your Brother's English is perfect. I'm glad you got to see another part of the US. Maybe next time you can see the beaches of Florida on the Gulf Coast side like Panama City or Destin. Both are beautiful and American favorites!
San Francisco is not a large US city. Not geographically or by population. Has less than 1 million people and its population is decreasing. LA and San Diego are much bigger California cities. Even San Jose is bigger.
@Alexandra Feodorovna Nice try. Combined all those are 2,449,772. San Diego County alone is 3.34 million. Los Angeles County is over TEN MILLION! Southern California dwarfs NorCal.
I'm so happy you chose to come to Wisconsin! I don't think it is so remote. I live near Madison, in a town of 5000. It is safe and quiet, yet close to Madison and Milwaukee. Perhaps it would have been better for you if you could have found a placement something like that. You were very brave to live in the north country in a cabin by yourself! I've had bats in my house. Even the men run away from them! It's funny, but also scary, I agree. Sounds like the people around you were very nice. Glad it turned out to be a good experience for you. I would have loved the borscht and whatever else you cooked.
She’s very well spoken and very observant. Hope she had a good time in the States.
How cool was this video. It's nice to see someone exploring the world and US had the privilege of being part of what seems like a wonderful journey. The world needs more of this. ( funny, I was searching for videos of canon camera and UA-cam recommended this video...hahaha. Glad I watched it.)
Next time either of you visit the US, come out here to Montana. We don't have much for cities but the nature is amazing. I like that you got Vika to do an interview. She did an excellent job describing her time in the US.
I'm glad she was making those GoPro videos too
I agree Andy, Vika would have a wonderful time in Montana or Wyoming. I really hope she can come back. Slava too. Just stay far away from the cities. Cities such as Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle and Portland are no longer safe for anyone at anytime of day or night.
@@Bentcypress Those who paint American cities as unsafe need only look towards what happens in cities in some of the rest of the world to learn that the viewpoint is skewed, usually from growing up in rural areas where the worst thing that ever happens at night is mosquito bites, not seeing what the dog (or cattle) left behind until too late, or you bringing in a cloud of gnats when you go inside. Oh, and tripping over the trailer hitch walking behind the truck, I still have scars on my shins...
Vika is a very sympathetic girl. Waiting for Aunt Galya´s birthday party!
Such a sweetie! Glad you got the chance to explore small-town America. Also glad that small-town America got the chance to learn more about you and your culture.
I spent some weekends ice-fishing in Minong with friends. Loved it. It's really in the backwoods but the people were nice. Glad you enjoyed her stay.
