Your travels across Russia especially in the far east have become a - Tour de force - videos explaining the culture, landscape, and peoples of the area. Most educational and very entertaining. I have always been interested in border areas that have a mix of cultures that have developed over time and that is certainly true of the Russian far east.
Natasha is a great vlogger most of the times, she is a brilliant filmologist. But just be careful calling it totally educational because she very subtly puts her own spin on everything steering you very gently into a certain way of seeing things, even though it is mostly "nutral".
I’m Russian, born near Far East in East Siberia, small town like Ussuriysk, then moved to Moscow long time ago, like many others. And absolutely love your vlog. You are very talented. Love the way you create a story that relates to so many people across entire world, talking about places known to almost nobody, even in Russia. Like, subscription. I need this precious breath of fresh air
Natasha, you are the hope for our future. Recognizing our human past, for better or worse. Showing the bad with HOPE for better. A light shining in the darkness. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and optimistic outlook for our future.
The Far East of Russia is so charming and also romantic and this place has got a unique beauty and an amazing environment, as Russia is not only Moscow, but it is an immense country which has to be discovered. This city is really nice and the little museum a jewel. Thank you for your great video. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Мнение таксиста похоже сложилось из того, кого он возит )) Очень приятный ролик, показали разное. И это хорошо. Могу сказать, что с 1995 года - город преобразился. Я помню парк Дора (тогда вроде ещё ДОСА), когда там даже днём не стоило рисковать ходить. А сейчас в каждом дворе практически современные детские площадки, асфальт, чистота, новые скверы. А производства, которые были и закрылись - их жаль, конечно. Что-то быстро умерло после развала СССР, что-то медленно. Это везде практически произошло. Но жизнь идёт и время течёт. И раз и в Спасске уже можно выпить варёный кофе хорошего качества, то значит что-то движется в полезном направлении! ))
I grew up in the 1950's & 60's hiding under my desk, closing my eyes, waiting for the Russians to drop "the bomb" on us. You bring this old-timer hope. Thank you.
Another very enjoyable journey with beautiful Natasha. Your videos are my favorite thing to watch on youtube. Keep up the great work Natasha. From one of your American fans.
Beautiful presentation. You are so talented in presenting even a dull places can be more interesting. Well done. I think I learn more about Russia from your videos than other sources. Thank you so much for sharing.
Natasha I love listening to your travel videos and your history lessons. Your voice is soothing, but the best part is your quick facial expressions when you reveal your feelings about what we're seeing. Subtle!
Thank you for this informative and nicely ironic video about Ussuriysk, a city I didn't even know it existed. I enjoy all your clips, because you developed your skills and improved your equipment over time and above all kept your refreshing human and critical attitude, your fine humour and good research work. I am proud to be one of your patrons.
Great video Natasha. Was wondering when you would upload another. So many beautiful and mysterious places to see in Russia. Thank you for your hard work.
You did it again Natasha. Your videos bring a sense of wellness and a peaceful smile to my face. Loved this video and laughed as you described the chair and flower. I am envious of you and your explorative activities that seem to never end. Thank you again
Natasha this is one of your best edited and presented videos. The reason that i subscribed to you is your unique Far East perspective. Keep up beautiful girl.
Always interesting, informative and enjoyable. The museum is of high quality, in my opinion. I wish I were young enough to travel again, (I am 80 years old this year) but you are like my eyes and ears showing me a part of the world I would otherwise never have known about.
When I watch this channel, I’m always amazed at how similar this part of Russia looks to my country of Serbia. And the fact that it’s thousands of kilometres away and borders China which is so different from our culture. The socialist apartment buildings, rusty playgrounds, benches with missing seats, old houses that haven’t been redone in decades…also the fact that we also use the Cyrillic alphabet
@@NatashasAdventures But it cannot be said that it would be a Soviet heritage. The philosophy comes from Marx and Engels, so it can actually be said that Russia is the victim of communism.
@@NatashasAdventures absolutely. Other Balkan countries as well. If you ever get the chance, you should definitely visit. Serbia often gets overlooked by foreign tourists but I think you would love it here. We may not have a lot of things that the rest of Europe has to offer but you would definitely feel at home lol. Plus the Balkans are one of the few parts of Europe which Russians would actually consider to be affordable
И мене исто. Импресионира ме колико личи на нашу земљу. Одувек сам желео да посетим овај крај Русије. И док ово гледам, имам осећај као да сам тамо. Један од најлепших канала на јутјубу.
Gee Natasha, your vids are the best; most honest, informative and filled with your classic brand of dry humor. I’m very thankful you choose to spend the incredible effort necessary to make this possible.
If I was Russian, I'd definitely vote for Vitaly Nalivkin! This is a beautiful video. This city would be a very nice tourist location, especially with the parks, museums, and history! It is too bad everyone is leaving.
This video is several months old, but it’s very fascinating and interesting to watch. Natasha, you are gifted. Thank you for what you do and your passion.❤️
Just wonderful Natasha. Loved the cat and the dogs and that museum looks very nice. I enjoyed you telling us about the history of the people of the area. You are getting to be very, very good at making these videos. Thank you for taking us with you.
I first came across Natasha's videos earlier this year and was attracted to her innocent charm, and the chance to see something about a part of the world of which we in Britain know little. The videos were a little clunky, but interesting enough to make me watch. In the past 2-3 months I've noticed the videos have become very professional, well presented and edited. And Natasha has become much more confident talking on camera, speaking perfect English. She is still as charming, and the subjects just as interesting. And yes, it helps that she is gorgeous young lady!
Thank you, Natasha for helping me learn about your country. I find the way you present information very informative .I wish your the best in the future. PLEASE KEEP MAKING YOUR VIDEOS!
@гражданин 984 тоже удивился)) с таким же успехом можно сказать что туда спускали кровь для ритуалов))) но есть реально предположение что скорее всего туда вставлялись какие-то камни или плиты. Ведь черепах этих было несколько ещё с 12 века. И мы жители Уссурийска об этом знаем все
I believe that there is growing interest here in the USA in the real Russia, and you are contributing to this with your channel. I know that Russian people and Americans can be good friends, if we can set aside the tired tropes that our political leaders want to feed us all the time. It's about respect. Thank you for your work. Your particular niche in the Far East of Russia is especially valuable and interesting to me. Спасибо большое, Наташа.
@@cajuntimes the value of the printed dollars started with the massive success of what was 90% white America in the past. but you're right it's collapsing and becoming a brown shithole
Beautiful vlog 👍👍😍 i watched your videos actually I like more the Christmas vlogs of Russia it's beautiful very happy very nice .... Keep going Siberian villages are also very beautiful.... God bless 🙏❤
🏞😉Beautiful Documentary!(🐯maybe next time?!) Really interesting,history of Ancient cultures,serious local topics,and a great sense of humour!💪👸🏼Keep up your good work!🍀
Ciao Natasha, Very nice. But you forgott the rich history of Koreans in Ussuriysk. There is a very interesting museum there with an excellent Korean Restaurant. From Ussuriysk also goes the railway to North Korea. Was several times in Ussuriysk the last 3 month. Keep on going with your videos. Greetings from Switzerland.
Your videos have always been great, but the last few and this in particular are in a category of their own. The editing and narrative combined with your lovely wry humor kept me engaged throughout. Really enjoy these travel documentaries and looking forward to whatever you’re working on next. Take care!
This is a delightful and educational video. Great job. I am sharing it with friends. I visited Leningrad (St. Petersburg again) and Moscow in 1976 as a teenager. An amazing experience that gave me a a heart 💜 for Russia 🇷🇺.
You are so good at presenting the history of a vast variety of Russian locales ! As near as I can tell, You are very accurate in all your descriptions and making it very interesting at the same time . Excellent ! Russia should be proud .
A interesting dive into history here Natasha and a good overview on the modern life. Your humour and straightforward explanations always come through well. The shame of it is the politiciahs will not change anything that really needs changing. However unlike in Russia at least we get to criticise ours without fear of arrest and possible prison. Just to wish you a happy christmas and to your family as well.🎄 Take care as always.
You are of course right about the different situations in Russia and the USA. However, there have been some very undemocratic developments in the USA too. Who can forget the full power of the state coming down on those protesters in Lafayette Square just so a certain person could pose with a Bible? Michael Cohen, the ex-attorney of that certain person, was released early from prison, but when he published a book criticizing that person, he was rearrested and thrown back in prison for "violating his probation." A Russian-like political climate can also be easily created here in the USA if we aren't careful.
@@happyinfidel1 You mean that ones that are still in jail nearly a year later without trial? Those ones? Oh yeah, they are really trying hard to take your freedoms away. It's definitely not the ones who jail people without trial or due process!
"Hello dogs." It's such a delight to watch your videos. Your personality is perfect for us armchair travelers. And, you keep such a straight face while talking, tongue in cheek, about Ussurihsk services placing a well designed comfortable chair and even vegetation for citizens to enjoy strolling while through the city. This episode was packed with info of past and present. Your use of irony, cynicism and humor is masterful and enlightening.
I reside in Taiwan. It is a living hell for senior citizens that find it painful to walk for necessities. There are no benches to rest your worn out legs, hips, and backs. Better off calling some delivery service than getting some fresh air and exercise.
Natasha, thank you for sharing. Love your sarcasm🙃 Very cool and interesting history. I love that Dragon turtle sculpture. I like seeing those old indigenous pictures of the people. They look like a mix of Asians and Native Americans.
This was a very interesting video, Natasha. I hope you will show us more about this part of Russia, the far east. It is a place we hear so little about, and I hope you can help us to get to know it better. Looking forward to your next video already!
In my opinion, your videos from the far east stick out compared to the other ones. Simply because you are be able to tell stories based on experience. That's also the reason why a lot of people decided to subscribe, to hear stories from a country that is rather mysterious for a lot of us. Did you ever notice that the video that made your channel populair is the one showing an extreme stereotype about Russia. Living in cold depressive Siberia. That picture made the video appealing, and after clicking most found out what it was actually about. Anyways, I think we all had this city nearby that seemed a lot bigger in our younger years, in fact everything seems bigger in your younger years. Atleast I think it does? Time will tell. Russia will never feel less big though😂 based on what I know about it.
You should really have your own travel programme on TV. You're becoming better and better with your english, and as a presenter I feel you have a future, either as a historian or documentary narrator. Wouldn't it be fun if BBC offered you a job to travel around the world making programs like this ;) You have a future in media, Natasha. Stay strong and have a merry Christmas.
Another interesting segment/ video. I notice your pictures of the original inhabitants of eastern Russia . They look very similar to the original inhabitants/ aboriginals of coastal peoples of Canada / British Columbia. Anyway keep up the good work. Merry Christmas.
It seems that you finally passed your driving test. 👏Love the irony. Love your spirit. Love your charm. Love seeing details of your country. You dispel narrow stereotypes. In my hometown in Georgia (US) we have many of the same scenes both beautiful and ugly. Be careful. Be safe. Be well. ✌💕& 🌻s.
Смотрю часто Ваши ролики,т.к сам родился в Спасск-Дальнем.Бываю на своей родине раз в 10-15 лет,а время идёт.... Интересно смотреть это душевное кино😇💐
Exploring the Far East with you 👍😊 It's obvious, that I like such videos more, than the videos from Moscow or the other cities of the central Russia. I like to learn about the local brands, Coffee shops, restaurants... Here in my hometown we have almost everything that you can find in Moscow. But almost nothing that you have in the Far East. I really liked the Ethnographic Park 👍 And I was empressed when I saw the right-hand drive taxi car. Such cars are so rare here.
̶Н̶а̶т̶а̶л̶и̶я̶ Наташа, болшой спасибо за етот филм. My wife is from Primorsky Krai and unfortunately, I've only been able to visit for 1.5 day in Vladivostok. We visited her grandmother and we went to the beach. I really would have loved to travel around the region and learn something about the natural geography / taiga, the tigers and the indigenous peoples' cultures. Your video is fun and provides all these experiences for me. I hope things are going well for you in Tbilisi and that you decide soon how the next path for your life looks. C миром...
For some reason I have always been so curious about seeing the parts of countries, especially Russia, that you don’t see on tourist destinations. These videos do a great job going in depth into each city.
Enjoyed the vid and thought it was pieced 2gthr quite well and glad you kept in your 'natural' moments (military coincidence, coming down the slide/plank and the boom barrier incident with the facial expression usually not seen but glad to see it come out) as I think these moments add to your vids along with your fun sense of dry humor/sarcasm. Always enjoy a walking lane when I come across one as they usually are kept well and surrounded by cafes and shoppes. Look forward to your next adventure.
Natasha - I loved this video, as well as all of your other videos! You do an excellent job of explaining the history, culture and other facts about the places you visit. I have become more interested in Russia recently, in part due to your videos, and I am doing a cruise in the Baltic in June that will spend two days in St. Petersburg. There is so much I am learning about Russia that I never knew before, thanks to you. It looks like you got a new, high resolution camera for filming now - the quality of this video was superb! Glad you didn't get knocked out by that road barrier. Love your sense of humor.
Your humor can be hilarious. I again send you many praises. At this point I should only say your presentations are always improving. Your personality . . . . . gentle and honest. I hope your week is good.
Great video. I still find it amazing that I can come online and see life so far away (from England). I was born in the '80s and Russia was a place of mystery, and it's a real treat to be able to learn more about the country and especially the eastern regions.
Great video. Thank you. I've lived all my life in the opposite coast. Been from Mexico to Dutch Harbor and grew up relatively near the Russian River in northern California. I appreciate your perspective. You are getting very good at this in my opinion.
I was found on the streets in Vladivostok, born in Usseryiisk, so I found this video to be very interesting. Thank you! I also want to add that I love your humor.
Great content as usual. I don't need rose tinted glasses to see the beauty; just grateful that you present the good, the bad and the ugly, and Russian humour. My optimism will make up its own mind. The inherent value is priceless.
Natasha, once again you have produced a great video on life in Russia as YOU see it. I love your style of presentation. We get the good, the bad and the ugly from your own unique perspective. Your camera work has improved immensely. The slow "pans" are great. They give the viewers time to absorb the content. I love your curiosity like when you explore areas like @12:30. NOBODY on UA-cam does things like that. Keep doing those type of vignettes. And the clip about the "chair" @13:30 was just hilarious!! Your "dry" sense of humor and sarcastic wit are super. I love the piece about the guy who "looks like Putin, but he actually helps people". Loved that. But you be careful Natasha. We would hate to see you go to prison for your own version of satire. Prison is not a place for a young lady as beautiful as you. Please keep up your great work making these videos about life in the "Real Russia". 👍👍💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Наташа, ты в очередной раз сняла отличное видео о жизни в России, какой ТЫ ее видишь. Мне нравится ваш стиль изложения. Мы видим хорошее, плохое и уродливое с вашей собственной уникальной точки зрения. Ваша операторская работа значительно улучшилась. Медленные "кастрюли" великолепны. Они дают зрителям время, чтобы усвоить контент. Мне нравится твое любопытство, например, когда ты исследуешь такие области, как @12:30. НИКТО на UA-cam не делает ничего подобного. Продолжайте делать такие виньетки. А клип про "стул" в 13:30 был просто уморительным!! Ваше "сухое" чувство юмора и саркастическое остроумие просто супер. Мне нравится статья о парне, который "похож на Путина, но на самом деле он помогает людям". Мне это нравилось. Но ты будь осторожна, Наташа. Нам бы очень не хотелось, чтобы вы отправились в тюрьму за свою собственную версию сатиры. Тюрьма - не место для такой красивой юной леди, как вы. Пожалуйста, продолжайте свою замечательную работу по созданию этих видеороликов о жизни в "Настоящей России".
Love your videos and this one was fascinating. I enjoyed seeing the elegant city centre, learning about the ancient Emerald City and your walks in neglected areas give a feeling of intimacy and familarity. It was wonderful, thank you!
I loved the video. The city was ok. Like some cities I've visited here in Canada. Your presentation was great! Very enjoyable. Thank you for telling me about those video makers arrested by police. It makes me sick that someone can be arrested & possibly jailed for making a video. Please be careful, Natasha. 🙂 We care about you. ❤
Ussuriysk - sounds like a fun place. Love your ironic and deadpan style; works really well with the subject matter. Would I vote for Vitaliy? I'd vote for you. Great work!
Hi Natasha. I'm a big fan of your channel. Your work gets better and better. I love the humor, the history and the brilliant videography you make. I am excited to see your creativity grow into the future. Please continue the excellent work. On a side note, I wonder if you are familiar with the work of David Attenborough? The reason I mention this is that I see a similarity in your approach and I believe he could be a good mentor or inspiration for you as we all can benefit from the best in our respective professions. I only say this because I think you are very talented. I can imagine one day seeing a full feature documentary of yours. I learn a lot, I laugh often and I am grateful for your channel. Best wishes. Les
Another great tour! I enjoyed the info regarding the history of the indigenous people of this region. I wouldnt be surprised if they are related to the people who migrated over the land bridge into North America thousands of years ago. They certainly seem similar to native Americans of long ago.
Thank you for the tour, your videos are very informative. I am glad that you were not killed by the boom on the street! I learn a lot about life in Russia by looking at your videos. I am still working on the alphabet. It will take me a long time to pronounce some of your words. I missed the word "Baba Yaga" . I will be checking it out to learn more about it. By the way, I hope those guys that insulted the government just have a fine and are free soon...
Natasha, I am only now becoming more familiar with your style of deadpan humor (невозмутимый?). 13:25 Now that I'm able to recognize it, you have me laughing every time! 🤣 I just love your travel vlog! What an interesting city! Perhaps their local leaders will manage to make it even better (MUGA!). But on a more serious note, I do really try to talk openly and often in my daily life here in the U.S., about oppressive governments and abusive bureaucrats (like we also have here, and in 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 countries of the world, unfortunately). The more of this corruption we -- the people -- tolerate, the more open and oppressive the abuse becomes. Here, this tipping point (of no return) has not yet occurred, thankfully, which is why we are fighting hard to maintain our precious democratic freedoms. Once freedom is lost, it is 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 hard to recover. Many millions of Americans are in deep denial on this topic, and do not wish to even consider the grave danger we are in. But we who know, and care, will keep fighting until our democracy is stable and secure again. Thank you for caring, and for sharing! 🙏👏👏
That was funny satire where they hung up the air fresheners on street poles to get rid of the awful smell ! Ha ha . It was nice that you found some buildings and museums that did not have the paint peeling off the walls. Interesting history of that area . It is always fun when you explore the other parts of town too . Great video as always !
I am an Ethnic Korean and I truly enjoyed your video! Amazing to see our Korean ancestors leaving a grand footprint in Primorsky Krai(연해주)! Thank you Natasha!
Thank you for another fantastic video. Between travel restrictions and a new job that doesn't give me much time off it sometimes feels like I'll never go on a trip again. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm visiting these interesting places too, they're like a little vacation for me. Thanks for showing a country I'd love to visit, especially smaller cities like this that I don't know anything about. Your sense of humour and presentation style makes them so enjoyable.
Thank you for showing us another pretty town in Russia. I found the Stone Turtle and Emerald Valley areas very interesting. These are places I would like to visit. I was sorry to hear that some of those young men were arrested for making a protest video that criticized a politician. People here in America, including me, criticize politicians all the time. For the most part it doesn't really do much good, because the politician remains in office and no reforms are made. (We think that most of them are on the side of the corporations and not the people. Over half the members of Congress are millionaires.) It seems that some of the Russian politicians are paranoid. Politicians here expect criticism. Even though there are trashy areas in Ussuriysk, such areas are common in American towns and cities. One last thought. Because I'm a parent and a grandparent, I worry about you sometimes. You take chances, and people like me don't want any harm to come to you. So be careful, because we want to see you make many more interesting videos!
Excellent reporting and production, as always. I enjoyed getting a sense of the city. Thank you for putting your personality into the document. It is clear, intelligent, and fun. Your vlogs are worth seeing again and again. Were more reporters like you.
I don't know why, but I was surprised to hear that "rose tinted glasses" is also a Russian phrase. Ussuriysk has beautiful buildings and some run-down areas, just like everywhere.
Really beautiful place! Nice one to spend some time. Definetely love the way you communicate every detail, how you talk of every place. Love so much your channel!
I always look forward to these videos. It's like traveling to russia from the comfort of my own home. Ussuriysk seems like a nice city. I'm half Salvadorian & seeing that "El Salvador" sign with the flag & distance @11:20 was completely unexpected & really cool to see that my mom's tiny country is acknowledged on the other side of the world :) Great video Natasha
Would you vote for Vitaliy Nalivkin?
Sure. He does seem to be a problem solver and gets things done. Well, more like he does things, may not actually fix the problems.
Well yes but be careful out there if those dogs had attacked you what would you have done by yourself? Is “bear spray” legal out there?
I'd maybe vote for him in the hope and interest of seeing what he would do while in office.
Yes, it's gonna be a good adventure through the Russian infrastructure.
Sure, but only if he promised air freshener on every street!. [jk]

@гражданин 984 тоже удивился)) с таким же успехом можно сказать что туда спускали кровь для ритуалов))) но есть реально предположение что скорее всего туда вставлялись какие-то камни или плиты. Ведь черепах этих было несколько ещё с 12 века. И мы жители Уссурийска об этом знаем все
I believe that there is growing interest here in the USA in the real Russia, and you are contributing to this with your channel. I know that Russian people and Americans can be good friends, if we can set aside the tired tropes that our political leaders want to feed us all the time. It's about respect. Thank you for your work. Your particular niche in the Far East of Russia is especially valuable and interesting to me. Спасибо большое, Наташа.
hugs. the most americans and russians are christians, so we must hear each other
"Your worst enemy becomes your best friend, once he’s understood." 🙌🙌🙌
Globalists want russia destroyed. Americans don't hate Russians, but our government does.
@@cajuntimes the value of the printed dollars started with the massive success of what was 90% white America in the past. but you're right it's collapsing and becoming a brown shithole

Beautiful vlog 👍👍😍 i watched your videos actually I like more the Christmas vlogs of Russia it's beautiful very happy very nice .... Keep going Siberian villages are also very beautiful.... God bless 🙏❤
🏞😉Beautiful Documentary!(🐯maybe next time?!) Really interesting,history of Ancient cultures,serious local topics,and a great sense of humour!💪👸🏼Keep up your good work!🍀
I like this city very much. Thanks! Hope you are safe and can keep making videos. I think you are a great ambassador for your country!
Ciao Natasha,
Very nice. But you forgott the rich history of Koreans in Ussuriysk. There is a very interesting museum there with an excellent Korean Restaurant. From Ussuriysk also goes the railway to North Korea. Was several times in Ussuriysk the last 3 month. Keep on going with your videos. Greetings from Switzerland.
I think this is my favorite video you've made yet. You letting us in to see your real personality and humor more than normal. Love it.
You have a wonderful sense of humor! 😀
Your videos have always been great, but the last few and this in particular are in a category of their own. The editing and narrative combined with your lovely wry humor kept me engaged throughout. Really enjoy these travel documentaries and looking forward to whatever you’re working on next. Take care!
This is a delightful and educational video. Great job. I am sharing it with friends. I visited Leningrad (St. Petersburg again) and Moscow in 1976 as a teenager. An amazing experience that gave me a a heart 💜 for Russia 🇷🇺.
You are so good at presenting the history of a vast variety of Russian locales ! As near as I can tell, You are very accurate in all your descriptions and making it very interesting at the same time . Excellent ! Russia should be proud .
A interesting dive into history here Natasha and a good overview on the modern life.
Your humour and straightforward explanations always come through well.
The shame of it is the politiciahs will not change anything that really needs changing.
However unlike in Russia at least we get to criticise ours without fear of arrest and possible prison.
Just to wish you a happy christmas and to your family as well.🎄
Take care as always.
You are of course right about the different situations in Russia and the USA. However, there have been some very undemocratic developments in the USA too. Who can forget the full power of the state coming down on those protesters in Lafayette Square just so a certain person could pose with a Bible? Michael Cohen, the ex-attorney of that certain person, was released early from prison, but when he published a book criticizing that person, he was rearrested and thrown back in prison for "violating his probation." A Russian-like political climate can also be easily created here in the USA if we aren't careful.
Not yet anyhow.. If you are in the US, the Jan6 bunch of loons want to take your freedoms away.
@@prieten49 we are starting to similar things in the UK as well but nowhere near what is happening in other parts of the world.
Yeah, you have freedom in America - just ask Julian Assange.
@@happyinfidel1 You mean that ones that are still in jail nearly a year later without trial? Those ones? Oh yeah, they are really trying hard to take your freedoms away. It's definitely not the ones who jail people without trial or due process!
"Hello dogs." It's such a delight to watch your videos. Your personality is perfect for us armchair travelers. And, you keep such a straight face while talking, tongue in cheek, about Ussurihsk services placing a well designed comfortable chair and even vegetation for citizens to enjoy strolling while through the city. This episode was packed with info of past and present. Your use of irony, cynicism and humor is masterful and enlightening.
I reside in Taiwan. It is a living hell for senior citizens that find it painful to walk for necessities. There are no benches to rest your worn out legs, hips, and backs. Better off calling some delivery service than getting some fresh air and exercise.
Natasha, thank you for sharing. Love your sarcasm🙃
Very cool and interesting history. I love that Dragon turtle sculpture. I like seeing those old indigenous pictures of the people. They look like a mix of Asians and Native Americans.
Same here
Thanks for the video. Funny and interesting as always.
This was a very interesting video, Natasha. I hope you will show us more about this part of Russia, the far east. It is a place we hear so little about, and I hope you can help us to get to know it better. Looking forward to your next video already!
Thanks for taking us with you Natasha!!! ❤️
that was a great episode Natasha! I love Nalivkin show, too:)
You gotta stop hittin on this young naive girl man its obvious to everyone 🤣 she doesnt even reply to you haha
*Я с Уссурийска. Оцените мой рэп на английском и русском языках. I from Ussuriysk. Please check my music. I make rap (English and Russian language)*
You have really become a pro at this, good for you. you are incredibly charming!
In my opinion, your videos from the far east stick out compared to the other ones. Simply because you are be able to tell stories based on experience. That's also the reason why a lot of people decided to subscribe, to hear stories from a country that is rather mysterious for a lot of us. Did you ever notice that the video that made your channel populair is the one showing an extreme stereotype about Russia. Living in cold depressive Siberia. That picture made the video appealing, and after clicking most found out what it was actually about.
Anyways, I think we all had this city nearby that seemed a lot bigger in our younger years, in fact everything seems bigger in your younger years. Atleast I think it does? Time will tell. Russia will never feel less big though😂 based on what I know about it.
Exactly 🙌. I think it's real art to slip a bit of education and dispelling of stereotypes into seemingly very stereotypical things 👌
You should really have your own travel programme on TV. You're becoming better and better with your english, and as a presenter I feel you have a future, either as a historian or documentary narrator. Wouldn't it be fun if BBC offered you a job to travel around the world making programs like this ;)
You have a future in media, Natasha. Stay strong and have a merry Christmas.
Great presentation and great video over all. Learned a lot about this area from your video. Thank you!
Thank you Miss Natasha. I'm glad you are so amazing . I learn so much from watching your channel. Pure delight!
Another interesting segment/ video. I notice your pictures of the original inhabitants of eastern Russia . They look very similar to the original inhabitants/ aboriginals of coastal peoples of Canada / British Columbia. Anyway keep up the good work. Merry Christmas.
Wow. Super interesting. Thank you for posting these precious videos during these COVID times.
It seems that you finally passed your driving test. 👏Love the irony. Love your spirit. Love your charm. Love seeing details of your country. You dispel narrow stereotypes. In my hometown in Georgia (US) we have many of the same scenes both beautiful and ugly. Be careful. Be safe. Be well. ✌💕& 🌻s.
Смотрю часто Ваши ролики,т.к сам родился в Спасск-Дальнем.Бываю на своей родине раз в 10-15 лет,а время идёт.... Интересно смотреть это душевное кино😇💐
Exploring the Far East with you 👍😊 It's obvious, that I like such videos more, than the videos from Moscow or the other cities of the central Russia. I like to learn about the local brands, Coffee shops, restaurants... Here in my hometown we have almost everything that you can find in Moscow. But almost nothing that you have in the Far East.
I really liked the Ethnographic Park 👍
And I was empressed when I saw the right-hand drive taxi car. Such cars are so rare here.
̶Н̶а̶т̶а̶л̶и̶я̶ Наташа, болшой спасибо за етот филм. My wife is from Primorsky Krai and unfortunately, I've only been able to visit for 1.5 day in Vladivostok. We visited her grandmother and we went to the beach. I really would have loved to travel around the region and learn something about the natural geography / taiga, the tigers and the indigenous peoples' cultures. Your video is fun and provides all these experiences for me.
I hope things are going well for you in Tbilisi and that you decide soon how the next path for your life looks.
C миром...
For some reason I have always been so curious about seeing the parts of countries, especially Russia, that you don’t see on tourist destinations. These videos do a great job going in depth into each city.
Very good, thanks Natasha, Natasha please help Alena make another video
I liked the cultural heritage site and museum. I like to see how ancient people lived and their artwork. Thank you for posting!
Thanks for taking us inside that city. You are a wonderful tour guide.
Enjoyed the vid and thought it was pieced 2gthr quite well and glad you kept in your 'natural' moments (military coincidence, coming down the slide/plank and the boom barrier incident with the facial expression usually not seen but glad to see it come out) as I think these moments add to your vids along with your fun sense of dry humor/sarcasm. Always enjoy a walking lane when I come across one as they usually are kept well and surrounded by cafes and shoppes. Look forward to your next adventure.
how funny at the point where you were playing on the rustic playground and at 10:51 fell over , good editing hahaha.
Natasha - I loved this video, as well as all of your other videos! You do an excellent job of explaining the history, culture and other facts about the places you visit. I have become more interested in Russia recently, in part due to your videos, and I am doing a cruise in the Baltic in June that will spend two days in St. Petersburg. There is so much I am learning about Russia that I never knew before, thanks to you.
It looks like you got a new, high resolution camera for filming now - the quality of this video was superb! Glad you didn't get knocked out by that road barrier.
Love your sense of humor.
Your humor can be hilarious. I again send you many praises. At this point I should only say your presentations are always improving. Your personality . . . . . gentle and honest. I hope your week is good.
I love these videos! I feel like I'm getting to see a Russia that I don't get to see anywhere else, thank you Natasha!
Nice
We say "noice" nowadays old woman.
No I see what was happening... nevermind.
Nice!
Very
Beautifully crafted video. Especially appreciate the 4K clarity. Crystal clear. Colors pop. 👍 Keep up the greet posts!
Enjoy your presentations of things in Eastern Russia. Everyone does Moscow/St P but thank you for presenting Eastern Russia.
They are real gems!
Natasha, every time I watch one of your videos I am always reminded of why I keep coming back for more. Awesome!
Great video. I still find it amazing that I can come online and see life so far away (from England). I was born in the '80s and Russia was a place of mystery, and it's a real treat to be able to learn more about the country and especially the eastern regions.
This is fascinating research (4:43 - Stone Turtle, history of the Jurchen peoples); what a find! Thank you.
Great video. Thank you. I've lived all my life in the opposite coast. Been from Mexico to Dutch Harbor and grew up relatively near the Russian River in northern California. I appreciate your perspective. You are getting very good at this in my opinion.
I was found on the streets in Vladivostok, born in Usseryiisk, so I found this video to be very interesting. Thank you! I also want to add that I love your humor.
That was a very interesting video. It looks like a nice place to visit. So much culture there. I love the paintings of the native people. Stay safe ❤
Great content as usual. I don't need rose tinted glasses to see the beauty; just grateful that you present the good, the bad and the ugly, and Russian humour. My optimism will make up its own mind. The inherent value is priceless.
Natasha, once again you have produced a great video on life in Russia as YOU see it. I love your style of presentation. We get the good, the bad and the ugly from your own unique perspective. Your camera work has improved immensely. The slow "pans" are great. They give the viewers time to absorb the content. I love your curiosity like when you explore areas like @12:30. NOBODY on UA-cam does things like that. Keep doing those type of vignettes. And the clip about the "chair" @13:30 was just hilarious!! Your "dry" sense of humor and sarcastic wit are super. I love the piece about the guy who "looks like Putin, but he actually helps people". Loved that. But you be careful Natasha. We would hate to see you go to prison for your own version of satire. Prison is not a place for a young lady as beautiful as you. Please keep up your great work making these videos about life in the "Real Russia". 👍👍💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Наташа, ты в очередной раз сняла отличное видео о жизни в России, какой ТЫ ее видишь. Мне нравится ваш стиль изложения. Мы видим хорошее, плохое и уродливое с вашей собственной уникальной точки зрения. Ваша операторская работа значительно улучшилась. Медленные "кастрюли" великолепны. Они дают зрителям время, чтобы усвоить контент. Мне нравится твое любопытство, например, когда ты исследуешь такие области, как @12:30. НИКТО на UA-cam не делает ничего подобного. Продолжайте делать такие виньетки. А клип про "стул" в 13:30 был просто уморительным!! Ваше "сухое" чувство юмора и саркастическое остроумие просто супер. Мне нравится статья о парне, который "похож на Путина, но на самом деле он помогает людям". Мне это нравилось. Но ты будь осторожна, Наташа. Нам бы очень не хотелось, чтобы вы отправились в тюрьму за свою собственную версию сатиры. Тюрьма - не место для такой красивой юной леди, как вы. Пожалуйста, продолжайте свою замечательную работу по созданию этих видеороликов о жизни в "Настоящей России".
Someone will not jail for criticism in Russia. For insult or incitement to riot.
Thank you! 😫
@@גלייזרפתרונות these days you never know... 🙈🙈🙈
Pete in MT, you speak well for many of us! Thanks for your insightful commentary.
maybe unfair things in russia is not as frequent as it is shown in the media. but the most unpleasant thing about them is that they are random
Love your videos and this one was fascinating. I enjoyed seeing the elegant city centre, learning about the ancient Emerald City and your walks in neglected areas give a feeling of intimacy and familarity. It was wonderful, thank you!
I loved the video. The city was ok. Like some cities I've visited here in Canada. Your presentation was great! Very enjoyable. Thank you for telling me about those video makers arrested by police. It makes me sick that someone can be arrested & possibly jailed for making a video. Please be careful, Natasha. 🙂 We care about you. ❤
Yes we do worry about you Natasha! Take care, stay safe & keep well! ....... 🙂 ✌️ ❤️
You have such a wonderful relaxed and professional presentation style and your videos are well polished now - thank you for an enjoyable 20 minutes
Good video from Eastern Russia
Enjoyed the history background.
Ussuriysk - sounds like a fun place. Love your ironic and deadpan style; works really well with the subject matter. Would I vote for Vitaliy? I'd vote for you. Great work!
Hi Natasha. I'm a big fan of your channel. Your work gets better and better. I love the humor, the history and the brilliant videography you make. I am excited to see your creativity grow into the future. Please continue the excellent work. On a side note, I wonder if you are familiar with the work of David Attenborough? The reason I mention this is that I see a similarity in your approach and I believe he could be a good mentor or inspiration for you as we all can benefit from the best in our respective professions. I only say this because I think you are very talented. I can imagine one day seeing a full feature documentary of yours. I learn a lot, I laugh often and I am grateful for your channel. Best wishes. Les
I very much enjoyed this visit to Ussuriysk with you. Best wishes for 2022,
Another great tour! I enjoyed the info regarding the history of the indigenous people of this region. I wouldnt be surprised if they are related to the people who migrated over the land bridge into North America thousands of years ago. They certainly seem similar to native Americans of long ago.
Yes, there some DNA similarities and their ornaments look so alike! That’s so interesting.
They definitely are 🙌
@@NatashasAdventures The natives in Canada call themselves "FirstNations".. I call them First Siberians.
Yes, I had similar thoughts. They appear very similar to native Americans.
Thanks for the tour, the history, and culture of this region. I also love your sense of humor!! God bless! (From a viewer in Illinois, USA)
Thank you for the tour, your videos are very informative. I am glad that you were not killed by the boom on the street! I learn a lot about life in Russia by looking at your videos. I am still working on the alphabet. It will take me a long time to pronounce some of your words. I missed the word "Baba Yaga" . I will be checking it out to learn more about it. By the way, I hope those guys that insulted the government just have a fine and are free soon...
Its always very pleasent watching you ! Full with facts and knowledge...
Natasha, I am only now becoming more familiar with your style of deadpan humor (невозмутимый?). 13:25 Now that I'm able to recognize it, you have me laughing every time! 🤣 I just love your travel vlog! What an interesting city! Perhaps their local leaders will manage to make it even better (MUGA!).
But on a more serious note, I do really try to talk openly and often in my daily life here in the U.S., about oppressive governments and abusive bureaucrats (like we also have here, and in 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 countries of the world, unfortunately). The more of this corruption we -- the people -- tolerate, the more open and oppressive the abuse becomes. Here, this tipping point (of no return) has not yet occurred, thankfully, which is why we are fighting hard to maintain our precious democratic freedoms. Once freedom is lost, it is 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 hard to recover. Many millions of Americans are in deep denial on this topic, and do not wish to even consider the grave danger we are in. But we who know, and care, will keep fighting until our democracy is stable and secure again. Thank you for caring, and for sharing! 🙏👏👏
You just keep on getting better!
That was funny satire where they hung up the air fresheners on street poles to get rid of the awful smell ! Ha ha . It was nice that you found some buildings and museums that did not have the paint peeling off the walls. Interesting history of that area . It is always fun when you explore the other parts of town too . Great video as always !
I am an Ethnic Korean and I truly enjoyed your video! Amazing to see our Korean ancestors leaving a grand footprint in Primorsky Krai(연해주)! Thank you Natasha!
Thank you for another fantastic video. Between travel restrictions and a new job that doesn't give me much time off it sometimes feels like I'll never go on a trip again. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm visiting these interesting places too, they're like a little vacation for me. Thanks for showing a country I'd love to visit, especially smaller cities like this that I don't know anything about. Your sense of humour and presentation style makes them so enjoyable.
Thank you Natasha, for the great video about history, culture, nature and way of life of the people of Уссурийск.
Thank you for showing us another pretty town in Russia. I found the Stone Turtle and Emerald Valley areas very interesting. These are places I would like to visit. I was sorry to hear that some of those young men were arrested for making a protest video that criticized a politician. People here in America, including me, criticize politicians all the time. For the most part it doesn't really do much good, because the politician remains in office and no reforms are made. (We think that most of them are on the side of the corporations and not the people. Over half the members of Congress are millionaires.) It seems that some of the Russian politicians are paranoid. Politicians here expect criticism. Even though there are trashy areas in Ussuriysk, such areas are common in American towns and cities. One last thought. Because I'm a parent and a grandparent, I worry about you sometimes. You take chances, and people like me don't want any harm to come to you. So be careful, because we want to see you make many more interesting videos!
These guys used a grenade launcher at the bus stop, of course the politicians are paranoid.
We all worry about Natasha because we love her and wish her the best.
Excellent reporting and production, as always. I enjoyed getting a sense of the city. Thank you for putting your personality into the document. It is clear, intelligent, and fun. Your vlogs are worth seeing again and again. Were more reporters like you.
I don't know why, but I was surprised to hear that "rose tinted glasses" is also a Russian phrase.
Ussuriysk has beautiful buildings and some run-down areas, just like everywhere.
Really beautiful place! Nice one to spend some time. Definetely love the way you communicate every detail, how you talk of every place. Love so much your channel!
I always look forward to these videos. It's like traveling to russia from the comfort of my own home.
Ussuriysk seems like a nice city. I'm half Salvadorian & seeing that "El Salvador" sign with the flag & distance @11:20 was completely unexpected & really cool to see that my mom's tiny country is acknowledged on the other side of the world :)
Great video Natasha
