Halloween in Russia: a western invasion or just a holiday?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Halloween originated in Celtic countries and then reached its development in the United States. As a result of globalisation, this holiday came to Russia and became quite popular with young people here. We have the same symbols: pumpkins, decorations and costume parties. For us it's just a reason to create costumes and have fun. However, some people in Russia think that Halloween is replacing our Russian traditions and identity. In fact, there are some traditional Slavic holidays that look similar to Halloween, such as Kupala Night or Svyatki. Unfortunately, Russian people almost don't celebrate them anymore, while Halloween is becoming more and more popular in this country. Do you celebrate Halloween?

'Nothing scarier for Americans than communism'. Young Russian humour is left of field.
Yes, LOL.
Yes, the USA has 2 parties, Centre-Right and Right.
It is actually an authoritarian Police State.
The word "Liberal" does not exist there. If you say "Social Democracy", they will automatically think "Communist", LOL! xD
Great video! Your comment “Please don’t unsubscribe” made me laugh and smile for the whole video!
You have great humor. There is something very fun about your “almost smile”!
Best wishes. You’re going to be a mega star!

Totally agree! Her dry sense of humor in these videos is hilarious. I find myself watching the videos again and again to pick up on the subtle little things she slips into the videos.
Yes, that was a good one, I smirked at that...
“Because there’s nothing scarier for Americans than communism...” I laughed so hard at this that I may have woken my flatmates! 😅

If only someone could dress up as universal healthcare, probably be labelled a terrorist

@@koilamaoh4238 What books have you read and how old are you? You surely haven't studied religions of human-kind, thinking the Christ was a commie, nor know much about the Amish, Mennonites, Quakers, etc. Don't believe what you are brain-washed with in public schooling or some college. LOL Funny stuff though.

Yeah, its algorithm miracle.
She is so pretty not just physically but also her personality. I worry someone will try to hurt her.
I am finding your content very interesting. We Americans don’t know much about Russian life. We know even less about the Russian Far East.

"Trick or treat" is what the children would say when they went to the door of a house. If the house gave them a treat, they would not be tricked (vandalized). The vandalization would be waxing windows, toilet paper trees, broken lawn furniture, all depends on how evil the children were. But the mafia would burn down the houses they had a big stake in the candy industry. The Hershey candy bar industry is a 5 billion dollar a year business. And there are at least a dozen candy bar manufacturers adding up the tens of billions of dollars in profit on Halloween.
i wish someone would toilet paper the house id be out there rerolling it for the next shortage
This comment is so pure.
Yeeahhh when the USA invaded my country it wasn't really about pumpkins and candies.
As a boy in America in the state of Pennsylvania, Halloween was my favorite holiday. Boys have a lot of energy and crave adventure and excitement, and it was so much fun to dress in a costume and go house to house receiving candy. If certain people turned off their lights and did not give out treats, we would either throw hard kernels of corn on their porch or soap their car windows. Some boys threw eggs but I didn't. Eggs were good food and my family was poor, so I didn't want to waste good food. The highlight of the evening was getting to march in a parade downtown where judges gave out prizes for best costumes in several categories. It was also fun to get to wear one's costume to school all day. Understand that this is how we celebrated Halloween in my hometown. It could have been much different in other towns. And in certain religious communities it was not permitted. (There are many Amish, Mennonites, and Quakers in Pennsylvania.)
I grew up in Western Pennsylvania and we did the same "trick-or-treat" in Hallowe'en. The only difference was that the peoples' door we knocked on would have to guess who we were. Since we were the only kids around, it wasn't difficult --- year after year, after year, etc.
Store owner: (decorates store with pumpkins)
People (taking all of them): This Halloween rocks!
The "Midterm Queen" idea is just as awesome as the dress you wear ! My polish teacher once popped at a party with one quite similar.
I get such a kick out of you! You’re completely yourself - no pretense. Love your sense of humor. Your subscriptions are growing fast so I think a lot of people enjoy you, and your content, as much as I do. Keep it up!
Наташа, классное видео. Молодец. Мне понравилось как ты включила историю и культуру, познавательно и без фанатизма.

In China and Taiwan, people are having Halloween just for fun and for the commercial value. I think few people really dig deep into what's behind the festival. Plenty of people might do some costume party overall it's not a very big deal nationwide.
You are so cute and your voice is so adorable ❤️.

Canadian culture has a deep love of Halloween. I think every culture loves to find a reason to gather and have fun together. Plus it's great to know you have a year to prepare.
Greetings from Scotland, the land of Celts and Picts. Even though Halloween may have started as a Celtic ritual it is often seen as new and foreign here too. I think It's probably because ''trick or treat'' became a part of it and that came from America. There are people in the church here that don't like it just as in Russia, the only difference is that here it was a pagan festival before the church arrived.
Haha its interesting that in Scotland people don't like the today's Halloween. Of course now it's different from its pagan prototype.

Greetings from Ireland. Halloween has been celebrated for at least 2,000 years as Samhain. Irish emigrants brought this tradition to USA and Canada in the mid 1800's and it got commercialised into Halloween. It has always been a huge festival in it's origin country just like St. Patricks day which is also a big festival in the USA!
That's funny. The church is complaining while it was a pagan festival at the first place 😂😂😜
My Amwrican wife is from the O'Cookes and O'Leonards (sp?) Very Irish, Scottish girl with pale skin, freckles, red in her hair and orange haired siblings. She is devout Christian and celebrates Halloween like all other Americans. Like everything else, it's harmless fun until some monster somewhere commits an evil he was gonna do even with an excuse like Halloween to blame it on.
I lol'd out loud when at your friend dressing as a communist to scare the Americans
Bigger percentage of Americans think communism is a good idea than the percentage of communist party members that think so. Most of the CPRF 's members are just Soviet nationalists or nostalgic of their childhood.
I feel like Halloween helps kids so that scary things aren't always as they seem. It teaches them how to cope by making it fun. Plus everyone's imaginations can go wild!

Those religious guys wear some pretty scary costumes every day!
We have only celebrated Halloween in New Zealand for about 20 years. At first people didn't like it because it was too "American" but now it is very main stream mainly due to the commercialisation of it. I enjoy your videos. You do a very good job. Keep up the good work.

Samhain and All Hallows are very important to me.
Thank you for showing its continued expansion.
It wasn't just evil spirits that could cross into our dimension on Samhain, equally importantly the spirits of the ancestors, deceased family and loved ones can also return to visit their relatives and friends for the hours of darkness on that night. The ancestors would also act as protectors for the living, against any malevolent force intent on harm.
There is plenty of room for wonderful traditional of Russia and Halloween. I love that you and friends partake in the event.
The Slavic holiday comparison in so interesting! Great Video!
Great video! And thanks to it I checked how we pronounce "Celt(s)(ic)" and saw that there are actually two possible pronunciations.
Really good analysis and contextualization of this foreign holiday in Russia. As you show, the themes of halloween are really about the human experience of changing the seasons, and the difference between the light part of the year and the dark part. Its another way we recognize the balance of and cycling between opposite forces, including good and evil. Great job, Natasha!!
I agree!
I have learned SO MUCH since I subscribed to your channel!.... #gratitude 💚
YT suggested your channel in my feed today. Been enjoying your videos so far. I follow a few other channels from Russia to learn more. Being from the US and living in SoCal I get to meet people from all over the world. I have co-wirkers from Russia (Oleg and Fyodor), from Ukraine (Yuri), from Bulgarian (Igor). All good people. I found it funny your friend said people from the US fear communism. ;-). That might have been in n a couple decades ago, but today's climate might say otherwise. BTW, Halloween is my favorite time of the year. I decorate my house with props, smoke machines, lights, etc. Good times

You do research for your videos and that is nice. Seriousno. Now just a festival so that is good. Also in parts of the world it's paying respect and light candles to those relatives who has passed on and is the reason we exist. That is simpatico and good.
Good vídeo 👏🏾. Yours ideas for costumes are pretty good.

Hi, I just discovered your channel and at the end of this video I had a big "WTF?-moment": 2k subs in November last year and now almost 150k?? WOW congrats Natasha!! Keep it up!
PS: You are just adorbable :)
You're editing skills are pretty amazing!
You pronounced Samhain so perfectly , as gaeilge in Russian, ionta deas 🥲 I’m from Ireland and get so pissed when ‘know it all’ yanks butcher my language. Go raibh maith agat ♥️
In Russian obviously I mean the accent, so beautiful, I love hearing my native tongue spoken from different tongues ♥️♥️♥️
My favorite thing about Halloween is carving pumpkins with the kids.
For our family, Halloween was fun when we were kids; we enjoyed the haunted hayrides, pumpkin carving, and trick or treating! I remember enjoying the smell off cooking pumpkin as the candles cooked the insides of the pumpkins put out on the doorsteps.🎃🎃🎃 Thanks for the wonderful view of Halloween in Russia!!
Congratulations on being found by so many. Your success is neither a surprise nor a mystery. A beautiful young woman is thrilling to behold. If she is kind hearted and sincere, she is one our world’s greatest treasures. Your work draws people together in a perfectly loving way. Because of the internet, and wonderfully sharing people like you, our world is shrinking very quickly. I trust wars will become unthinkable.

Thank you Miss Natasha for this marvelous Halloween video. What I don't like about Halloween is the celebration of evil spirits....
She likes to play "dress up"? COOL! Ok, the red lipstick was like a show stopper, wasn't expecting that! I am like Roar! :)-Michael
Hello from Canada ,
Halloween has changed over the years and grown from a fun evening for children yo get candy to a massive money grab for the marketplace . What started out as stores selling small treat sized candy has become a billion dollar business of cheap made in China garbage from the discount store littering the isles and landscape of any populated place with a flat surface to pile clutter lol
Modern Halloween celebrations are more about this and sleazy costumes ,but at the heart there is still the children that want the excitement of an evening to gather candy .I stay home and hand out candy and its fun to see the children and their costumes ...remembering how much fun I had as a child .
Over my life, the sleazy costumes have taken over. Now, it's not just women that wear "sexy" nurse or "sexy" maid outfits but men, too, now. A friend of mine wore nothing but caution tape. When I was a child, scary costumes were the norm.
Yeah, and I think Halloween is in decline . At least the part about encouraging kids to gorge themselves on pure sugar (for like a week afterward)
you talk about ecology?
Love your video’s greetings from holland🧡
Samhain is pronounced hown. Enjoyable as usual 😀👍
You present so wonderfully. Keep sharing your adventures we all love you 😍!
Never thought of Halloween as an American Holiday. Pretty sure the only thing we added was the term "trick or treat." Religious groups taking issue with it is par for the course though. To this day lots of churches oppose it here too.
While it's not originally from the US, American consumerism and capitalism has supercharged its profitable elements to make it the well known celebration it is today.
This was great. Halloween is my favorite non official holiday. However, I view it as an official holiday. I enjoy Halloween so much that I will tend to keep my best pumpkin until after Christmas passes. The pumpkin is placed in the backyard. Ironically, I have noticed that other people keep their pumpkins all the way through December.
Very informative video. Love your sense of humor. (Also there are some scary capitalists too--LOL) Hello from USA.

I am a recent subscriber to your channel. I enjoy your videos. I am learning more about Russian culture and the things the USA and Russia have in common on the human level. Thank you for your honest point of view. You are an amazing young lady!
We don't have Halloween in South Africa, I wish we did. It looks like a lot of fun and I like anything dark. You look incredible. In a few ways. You could have a dress like this every day if you're OK with the stares.
This stuff just fascinates me! I grew up in America during the Cold War, so I am used to Russia being this malevolent entity of Western hatred behind an Iron Curtain of isolation and secrecy, so I am always amazed to see Russians singing Jingle Bells, celebrating Halloween, or the like. Thanks for sharing this!
When I was in Afghanistan my mom asked me what they do for Halloween there. I said " well WE have Halloween candy and we have some decorations up and we have a carved pumpkin lit with chem lights". She did not understand that the people of Afghanistan did not do Halloween.

Very informative video. Also in Italy we celebrate Halloween, especially among the kids and teenagers who are very happy to dress up in these scary costumes. It is pagan feast, with gothic features and no religious connotations, that makes it very joyfull and cheerful. But at the same time there is also the ancient religious feast: "All Saints", a religious recurrence celebrated on the 1st of November where we usually takes fresh flowers to our loved ones at cemeteries. Well these two parallel celebrations are very different in content. Great video thank you
That's cool that you and your friends and just other ppl in general enjoy Halloween. We look forward to the chance to dress up in costumes too. Too funny that everyone kept taking that mans pumpkins. Hope everyone has a chance to celebrate the fun for many years to come.🎃👻
LOVE your makeup! )))
