As someone that lived in several countries, including Italy, I must agree to what you just said in the beginning of the video. People forget that "a bigger salary" comes with bigger expenses. Salaries in London are good, but rent price is awful. Same in New York, same in L.A. One of my friends complained how expensive is to go to a concert in London. People don't realise, but regular people live paycheck to paycheck. This is the reality, saving money is hard and comes with great sacrifices. I know plenty of people that came to a country having big hopes, but returned to their homelands after they worked like slaves for foreigners. Once you get abroad, after the novelty wears off, you have to face same problems. People are the same everywhere in the world. Every country has richness, poverty and corruption.
I agree 👍.. However, the most important things are that finding any country that they don't discriminate because of your race's, skin colors or due to political reasons..Then those places are livable..Everywhere you goes there always some problems with the government's systems..However, if the government's systems that have tendency to solved problems and improve their citizens livelihoods..Then, it is a good place to staying not because of the country wealth but rather the integrity of the surroundings that helped your peace of minds..For example, as in 🇺🇸, materially is well off more than other country in Asia..However, morality and integrity are practically nonexistent plus crookedness of business transactions dealings..Therefore, if you wanted to survive, you have to be like 1 of the gangs..Otherwise, you cannot survive beyond paycheck to paycheck..Talking from experienced of a Healthcare professionals business owners that refused to followed the crooked making millions of dollars 💸 and cannot sleep at nights without having nightmares..Therefore, choose a country for long term staying isn't about the country wealth as most people believe as outsiders of America..But, rather the government's leaderships officials taking care of their citizens well-being plus providing decent basic needs worthy of your tax contributions per your earnings as basic health care, education and judiciary system's aren't based on who pay the judges for winning the case's..
If you leave your country you think that all your problems will magically disappear. From the first to fourth minute it's the best speech ever. I just recently discovered you and watching you every morning on my commute to work.
The enormity of civic spaces in Russia is unique in the world, from what I've seen having never been. I was fortunate in having some success in production and design for ballet. Love Russian Ballet - it's so graceful and un-robotic. Your videos are wonderful, thank you.
Hello Eli, I really love the way you present your videos as it is the real thing about Russia, the good and not so good. My life's journey took me to Krasnoyarsk where I lived for a year in 2004. it was a real eye-opener regarding the culture. I was born in The Netherlands but moved in 1982 to New Zealand. Later on, I lived for a short while in Tolyatti and Samara and spent quite a lot of time in Moscow and St Petersburg. I fell in love with Russian architecture, the food, the people, the small but cosy apartments, the Dasha's and the metro in Moscow, Tsaritsyno Park, especially in winter. I was in Moscow during Xmas time and New Year and could not get enough from the beautiful decorations around the city!!! For me, it was an experience I cherish for the rest of my life, Sadly Covid is putting a stop to travelling, but when we can travel freely again my first stop will be Moscow!!!
This was delightful. Anything that YOU think is important and relevant and interesting is what I want to see and hear -- nothing less. Eli, you have such a good heart and sensible mind. Albert Einstein once wrote: "The only source of knowledge is experience." Through your showing us stuff and sharing of your thoughts I am experiencing Russia. I am grateful. You are a treasure. You are priceless. Your channel is not just a show to me. It is a life experience -- because you are who you are. God bless you. Take care of yourself. You are doing a beautiful thing. Russia does need you. The rest of us appreciate you.
I went to see the Swan Lake Ballet a few years ago. I'd heard so much about the Russian Ballet, and had dreamed of one day watching a live performance. When I finally had the opportunity to go, I took it without hesitation. I even dressed up in a full White-Tie ensemble for the occasion. I am so glad I went. I was absolutely stunned. The dazzling costumes; the grand backdrops; the dancing; the music; the whole performance was beautiful and thrilling from start to finish. I loved every second of it, and am hoping to see another Russian Ballet some day. Love from New Zealand ))
Great videos ELI I wish I was younger to travel to all those ❤️ beautiful places 😊😂 where you have been , I admire you a lot.. 😉 Thank you , 🙏 for all those beautiful videos,,,God Bless You Always ....
I've always had a thing for Russia ever since even childhood. The music probably. This soft spot has grown even more in the last year has I have started the study of the Russian language. Seeing these beautiful scenery from Moscow had my eyes already in a wet spot but the Chaïkovski got me to the core.😭
How truthful and quite refreshing was your monolog; some introspection is healthy and would bring much-needed balance in one's life. Thank you for sharing it with us. Pozdrav od Makedonija.
Dear Eli, My wife passed away six months ago. After five decades of having meals that she cooked for us, I'm now alone eating while watching your videos. I lost count the last six months of your videos I've watched, and your effervescent and pleasant personality and interesting subject matters take some of the sting out of my loss. My mind goes with you as you explore and describe your surroundings in Russia and you are a wonderful representative for your people, culture and those elements that connect all of us on this beautiful planet. Please continue to take us on your journey and stay healthy and happy.
I love your vlogs in general but I especially enjoyed this one for all your joy and good vibes!! It was amazing to see Swan Lake and the beautiful Kremlin. Moscow looks like a really vibrant city and is now on my bucket list. Thanks Eli!!
Very beautiful video as usual. Coming back home, after a long period abroad, is always moving. In Italy we say " Casa dolce casa" (home sweet home), that is the place where we were born is the best. Thank you for showing us the beauties of your country
Hello Elina, You are absolutely beautiful. You speak so well. The reason You have come back to Russia is so touchy. I had the same feeling when I was working in the USA as a Computer Programmer. So after 5 years there, I came back to my home Land India. I felt that I belong to my homeland. Thanks.
You're ahead of the curve Eli, the quality of life has been declining in most western countries, while Russia is improving. For one, the culture in Russia is being preserved, with traditional ballet and literature still being valued at home, while in the West we are tearing down our heritage... There is a good case for staying at home and helping build the future of your country!
You have revived my love of Russian culture. In college i took Russiaan language.Rima Palangian, my teacher, was my only Russsian aquaintance. She was precious and opened my heart to the fact that Russains are like us. They love family, natural food, and Tolstoy.
I am hooked on all your videos, Emily. My wife, Penny and I watched 3 last night on our tv screen. So enjoyable. We live in Cape Town, South Africa. Lots of love, John.
Eli, you're the most beautiful girl in the world. I'm glad you're back in Russia. You're show has taught me alot about Russia. I've found another little girl who shows us around China.
In my opinion, what Eli says at the beginning is very true. Back to the roots is always good! I'm overwhelmed by all what you disclose in your fantastic video. Tks so much Eli. Tks for presenting us the amazing Kremlin Palace, an excerpt of the most famous magnificent Swan Lake (top ballet) with music composed by Tschaikowski. Red square is magical. Moscow wow. A great capital to be, to knwo! All these lovely church buildings symbols of Russia. Finally i hope you don't mind if i dare say: Eli, you look beautiful! Best regards from Switzerland!
I had very extreme experiences in Russia from amazing to disastrous for like 2 years, but watching your videos really makes me miss Moscow and Russians so so so much. I swear, you shoot some of the scenes and I feel like I can smell the air where you are)))) I haven't been back since 2015, and suddenly the nostalgia is setting in.
Hi Eli, I know this is an older video but I think one of your best. Loved your happiness for being back in Russia. Moscow is a beautiful city. Best regards, Gene
You know it's funny, in western media when they talk about the Kremlin, they never show pictures of it, due to their bias I would say. But the Kremlin has many beautiful buildings within, I guess it's hard to paint a dark picture of the Kremlin when you have a colorful St. Basil's Cathedral in the background
I watch 1-2 YT vids on my lunch break at work. This was a great surprise for my day! Congrats on finding your way back home. I started learning Russian just 3-months ago and I’m doing well, with a LONG way to go. Your channel + 3 others on Russian culture and travel have kept me motivated and passionate. As a westerner who’s never been to Russia, I’m always curious what cities and life are like further east and central Russia, away from Moscow and St. Pete, which always garner the most attention in movies and travel videos. Anything you can do to cover some of that would be great and appreciated! The one you did about hiking in the Ural mountains was excellent. Mnogo lyubvi iz Tekhasa. (Much love from Texas - how can I get the Russian alphabet on my phone!?) 🇺🇸
On Android, you can go to the settings of your keyboard and add the language. It's different for every keyboard though and for iOS, so I'd recommend looking for a help article. Удачи вам!
Danced professionally in another lifetime. Knew or was in class with several russian ballet dancers. Would love to see more ballet or dance overall... love your videos.
It looks a very beautiful interesting city, I hope to visit some day!!! & my GF introduced me to Tchaikovsky music which is superb!!! Thanks for your video!!!
Thank you Eli - thank you for taking me into the Kremlin and the ballet, but thank you most of all for being such a charming and articulate guide to the many sides of Russian culture. I wish everyone would watch at least some of your shows! Keep up your excellent work.
Eli Dear you are a multi talented girl. It accentuates your natural beauty and charisma. Really love to watch more and more of your video. - Love from Mumbai, India 🇮🇳 ❤ ♥
What a beautiful city🏙️❤️ Thanks for walking me around your stomping ground, Eli! The murals and architecture are stunning🖼️ Swan 🦢 lake looked divine, I'm sure that was so much fun! You have excellent posture🏋️♀️ Here in Seattle people have been wearing their masks in the stores & on the transit, but have been taking them off outside :) I'd love to see more street art, parks, & buildings 😄
What a wonderful series of your blog,I have literally found your site by accident, but as I watched your videos, I realised that three or four ours had passed away just watching the natural way you got back to your roots in Russia
To continue,from watching scenes from the infamous Gulag concentration camps,to the beauty of the Russian ballet,to the open air of festival in the country side with different ethnic groups enjoying themselves in simple game's as wrestling,dancing,horse racing,was just a wonderful thing to watch, every one enjoying themselves and having a wonderful time, it's such a beautiful view of Russia as a whole enjoying themselves! Keep up the good work.
You make really excellent and exciting videos.Please make videos showcasing Russian theatres,Russian circus,and other important facets of Russian cultural heritage.
Great video Eli, also I agree with your words entirely. All nations have good and bad. We often take things for granted I know because like you, I lived outside of my country for ten years. I have visited Moscow and I would have loved to have gone to the ballet, let alone at the Kremlin! Your country is fascinating, I’ll look forward to more videos! Xx
I saw Swan Lake performed by the Kirov Ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. Mesmerisingly beautiful. Eli, I am SO envious of your beautiful red hair. ❤
My friend Henri Nyakarundi wrote a book called My African Dream. It's quite short but it echoes a lot of what you're saying about living abroad. The same feeling for many Africans that if you make it to America or the UK, suddenly life will be perfect and everything will be easy. He lived in the US for eighteen years as a student and then a successful business owner, and eventually returned to Africa after the stress almost destroyed his health. It's a really interesting and darkly humorous read. His goal was not to stop Africans from visiting the west, but to highlight the reality of what living there is and how tough it can be. It’s something that isn’t talked about enough.
Hi! Are you finished with your studies, or is school out for summer vacation? I really enjoy your videos. It is nice to see what Russia is like other than the political news we see on TV. You are a very interesting woman. You are right about moving and finding that no place is free of problems.
Hi Eli, I miss Moscow, to which I traveled three years ago. It was in the middle of winter (December / January), and I loved it. Actually I loved how international the city was. International not because of tourists, like me; but because of how the Russian society is diverse, from its different regions, ethnicities and religions. I have no advice to give you about what to Vlog about because your Vlogs are exactly what I love, which is simply about life in a country or a region. I loved your last Vlogs from different regions and their customs, like the Tatar one for example. Thanks for sharing, take care and be safe 😊
Greeting From Afghanistan :) i love your video because u make for us amazing videos and Russia,Norway , Switzerland is my favourite country and i love travel video THANKS
7:18 I love how Eli is a rebel! Showing us parts of the beautiful ballet after recording the announcement of prohibited filming 😊 This series was so nice, I loved all the impromptu filming and Eli is such a gracious and knowledgeable guide. I would love to see more exploration of cafes, vegan restaurants, vegan festivals, wine bars, the local music scene, interviews with Moscow based fashion designers, sustainable energy and a tour of your university!
Hey Eli, I have always been so curious about Russia and luckily got an opportunity to visit in 2019. It was a wonderful experience. Although if I had seen your videos I could have experienced lot more from Russia. Continue the good work and positivity is inspiring. All the best Lots of love & luck, Mansi
Kakaya Mudrast! My family immigrated to the US over one hundred years ago from the Ruiian Empire in 1900. I have been to Moscow and I like the balet, the museums, etc., very much. I even the language which has been acquired in my case as a descendent.
Eli gives very professional videos on the positive side of Russian life. She refrains from politics, religion, crime, social problems, wars. She focuses only on the good concepts of traditional Russian culture. Eli is extremely professional. I don't know if she will decide to join TV networks because then she couldn't be honest. She would be ordered to say what they want her to say. Very Good Work Miss Eli♥️
I loved this video Eli! Good photography and you have no accent in your English so I could understand you very easily. I have been gone from my home country for to long and am to old now to ever go back.
Thought I saw all Eli's vlogs from this time period. This is a great one. I saw her Mt. Elbrus climb, her attempt at Everest, and scaling Kilamanjaro. Looks like she picked level ground for her minfulness, she looked perfectly 90° perpendicular 🤸🕌
I just watched this and I definitely can feel your great vibes on going back home. You should aso watch it again when you feel blue and get pumped from it. I didn't know about your Russian club, I learned one year of Russian but was not thrilled with the teachings and I can't speak at all, it was mostly theory. So I will def check it out. Cpacibo for expanding your country and culture to all of us who've never been there. Paka!

Wait CNN told me Russia is a poor and dirty place.
@@dannysema1975 CNN also told you Biden is a capable president
@@theowl2044 yes and also Afghanistan campaign was a great success.
And that corruption is no problem in Russia or the USA.
If so,why don't You go there and experience YOURSELF all the greatness of Rusia.
The enormity of civic spaces in Russia is unique in the world, from what I've seen having never been. I was fortunate in having some success in production and design for ballet. Love Russian Ballet - it's so graceful and un-robotic. Your videos are wonderful, thank you.
I like the people who love and respect their own countries without hating and putting down others. You are one of those so you have my respect.
Exactly what I think. I could not have put it better.
Hello Eli, I really love the way you present your videos as it is the real thing about Russia, the good and not so good. My life's journey took me to Krasnoyarsk where I lived for a year in 2004.
it was a real eye-opener regarding the culture. I was born in The Netherlands but moved in 1982 to New Zealand.

Wow that park is amazing. So cool with the skyscrapers around it
In the US it would be called The Central Park. In Russia "its a nice park".

I love you Eli and I feel a kinship with you! I’m sitting on my yoga mat as I watch your video
It's nice seeing you happy in your own country again
In my opinion, what Eli says at the beginning is very true. Back to the roots is always good!
I'm overwhelmed by all what you disclose in your fantastic video. Tks so much Eli.
Tks for presenting us the amazing Kremlin Palace, an excerpt of the most famous magnificent Swan Lake (top ballet) with music composed by Tschaikowski.
Red square is magical. Moscow wow. A great capital to be, to knwo! All these lovely church buildings symbols of Russia.
Finally i hope you don't mind if i dare say: Eli, you look beautiful!
Best regards from Switzerland!
Very interesting and fun - my dad loved the train episode I recommended to him. Thanks!
Beautiful ballet shown to us, Elina. You look wonderful in everything you do.
I had very extreme experiences in Russia from amazing to disastrous for like 2 years, but watching your videos really makes me miss Moscow and Russians so so so much. I swear, you shoot some of the scenes and I feel like I can smell the air where you are)))) I haven't been back since 2015, and suddenly the nostalgia is setting in.
Hi Eli, I know this is an older video but I think one of your best. Loved your happiness for being back in Russia. Moscow is a beautiful city. Best regards, Gene
Thank you for another beautiful video. I would like to see more of Moscow. I love Russian architecture.
I really miss your country. Swan lake is also my favorite. I will keep following you. Good luck!
Lebedinoe Ozero, Swan Lake. My favourite classical composition from my favourite classical composer.
Now, that's magic.
Hi Eli. I love your videos. so I follow it every day here in the Philippines Thanks for sharing.. bye
Both Eli and her subject matter are compelling viewing. Such an intimate guide through a land that is so foreign and opaque to me, at least.
You know it's funny, in western media when they talk about the Kremlin, they never show pictures of it, due to their bias I would say. But the Kremlin has many beautiful buildings within, I guess it's hard to paint a dark picture of the Kremlin when you have a colorful St. Basil's Cathedral in the background
Best of luck to you Eli we wish you true success
I watch 1-2 YT vids on my lunch break at work. This was a great surprise for my day! Congrats on finding your way back home.
I started learning Russian just 3-months ago and I’m doing well, with a LONG way to go.
Your channel + 3 others on Russian culture and travel have kept me motivated and passionate.
As a westerner who’s never been to Russia, I’m always curious what cities and life are like further east and central Russia, away from Moscow and St. Pete, which always garner the most attention in movies and travel videos.
Anything you can do to cover some of that would be great and appreciated! The one you did about hiking in the Ural mountains was excellent.

I had wrong picture in my thoughts about the west when I was in Africa..that the west was all roses but reality hit me big time !

Hi! Are you finished with your studies, or is school out for summer vacation? I really enjoy your videos. It is nice to see what Russia is like other than the political news we see on TV. You are a very interesting woman. You are right about moving and finding that no place is free of problems.
Hi Eli, I miss Moscow, to which I traveled three years ago. It was in the middle of winter (December / January), and I loved it. Actually I loved how international the city was. International not because of tourists, like me; but because of how the Russian society is diverse, from its different regions, ethnicities and religions. I have no advice to give you about what to Vlog about because your Vlogs are exactly what I love, which is simply about life in a country or a region. I loved your last Vlogs from different regions and their customs, like the Tatar one for example. Thanks for sharing, take care and be safe 😊
Greeting From Afghanistan :) i love your video because u make for us amazing videos and Russia,Norway , Switzerland is my favourite country and i love travel video THANKS
7:18 I love how Eli is a rebel! Showing us parts of the beautiful ballet after recording the announcement of prohibited filming 😊 This series was so nice, I loved all the impromptu filming and Eli is such a gracious and knowledgeable guide. I would love to see more exploration of cafes, vegan restaurants, vegan festivals, wine bars, the local music scene, interviews with Moscow based fashion designers, sustainable energy and a tour of your university!
Hey Eli,
I have always been so curious about Russia and luckily got an opportunity to visit in 2019. It was a wonderful experience.
Although if I had seen your videos I could have experienced lot more from Russia.
Continue the good work and positivity is inspiring.
All the best
Lots of love & luck,
Mansi
Kakaya Mudrast! My family immigrated to the US over one hundred years ago from the Ruiian Empire in 1900. I have been to Moscow and I like the balet, the museums, etc., very much. I even the language which has been acquired in my case as a descendent.
you are very inspiring Eli! much love from Philippines ❤
Most enjoyable. Thank you and take care!
Lovely video of the beautiful buildings of Moscow & the ballet. Thank you! Would you please make a video about Christmas in Russia?
Russian music and language are beautiful
Loved seeing the scenes of the ballet and inside the Kremlin Theater! Awesome!!!
Eli gives very professional videos on the positive side of Russian life. She refrains from politics, religion, crime, social problems, wars. She focuses only on the good concepts of traditional Russian culture. Eli is extremely professional. I don't know if she will decide to join TV networks because then she couldn't be honest. She would be ordered to say what they want her to say. Very Good Work Miss Eli♥️
Great episode, thank you
You are stunning Eli!
I loved this video Eli! Good photography and you have no accent in your English so I could understand you very easily.
I have been gone from my home country for to long and am to old now to ever go back.
Thought I saw all Eli's vlogs from this time period. This is a great one. I saw her Mt. Elbrus climb, her attempt at Everest, and scaling Kilamanjaro. Looks like she picked level ground for her minfulness, she looked perfectly 90° perpendicular 🤸🕌
I just watched this and I definitely can feel your great vibes on going back home. You should aso watch it again when you feel blue and get pumped from it. I didn't know about your Russian club, I learned one year of Russian but was not thrilled with the teachings and I can't speak at all, it was mostly theory. So I will def check it out. Cpacibo for expanding your country and culture to all of us who've never been there. Paka!
Russia has beautiful architecture and women; always great to see. You have amazing red hair.
