- Hi guys! In this video I will show you Vladivostok, the capital of Russia’s Far East. That day in July, when I filmed this video, was the Russian Navy Day. It’s a very important holiday here because Vladivostok is the main Russian port on the Pacific Ocean.
In this video I’ll show you the funicular (cable car) that still operates as a public transport; the city’s historical places, including the legendary Chinese Quarter, and the beautiful embankment on the Sea of Japan. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

About myself Hi! My name is Natasha, I live in the Far East of Russia in the city of Khabarovsk, but originally I'm from a small town Spassk-Dalny in Primorsky Krai. Currently I'm studying Linguistics in the university. On this channel I make videos about life in Russia, our traditions and my traveling in Russian cities. Welcome, and let's explore Russia together! #yeahrussia
Natasha has improved so much your skills in English. I noticed this since the beginning from this video, She is speaking fast and easy, showing us the things naturally. Good job 😃
Yeah! I have a lot of respect for anyone willing to put themselves out there online in a language that isn't their first and it's awesome to watch that courage pay off.
Thank you 😊
I think it's dumb to complement someone on language skills when nobody's asking for the feedback. Takes quite of an arrogance...
@@SANDROBOTICHELI I think you haven't ever learned any foreign languages.
@@SANDROBOTICHELI what nobody asked for is your comment hahaha
Another great video Natasha!! Thank you for all your work!!
Yet an additional amazing video from Natasha. Blogging has actually come so naturally to Natasha. She has received success really quick, I can not be a bit envious of her, though the quality of her videos are much above mine and also better than most youtubers. I have been blogging about Russia for over 4 years and the youtube algorithm has actually not ben as kind to me as it has been to her. Can I ask, what was it that attracted you to click on Natasha's video, before you knowing just how impressive she is?
As I spent my early years in Vancouver, Canada, I always wondered during the Cold War of the 1970's what that mysterious, "closed city" far, far across the remote and empty North Pacific Ocean, which also had the letter "V" starting its name, was like. At 11:00 and 14:30, I could hardly tell the difference on whether the background and even to some small degree the foreground, was Vladivostok or Vancouver !
The "instagram.... real life" bit made coffee spew out of my nose. Natasha's sense of humour is always on point.
great video
great video keep up the good work
Nice to see Someone take a poke at Instagram after the recent news how it can be depressing. So great Natasha! Take no guff from Facebook!
Same! Absolutely hilarious use of a meme, and so unexpected too! Love her humor.
Natasha's voice is so relaxing. I just feel so safe and calm when she speaks
Yes! i think her voice is what makes the videos do good. Video creation has come so easily to her. She has gotten success very quick, I can not be a tiny bit envious of her, though the high quality of her videos are much better than mine as well as above almost all youtuber's. I have actually been blogging concerning Russia for over 4 years and the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. I can see that you like to learn about Russian life. May I ask of you, to critique my channel and say what is required and how I can get better?
how dare she say it is like San Francisco or Venice Beach, I saw not one homeless encampment on the entire tour!
Она говорит о другом, ,что оба города имеют мосты , расположение обоих на возвышенности и наличие бухт!
@@АлександрОкулов-е5ъ Это же был сарказм, друг)
@@АлександрОкулов-е5ъwe know that lol He's was just make fun of it
Winters in the Russian far east are probably very unfriendly to homelessness. Keep on cracking jokes about those who can’t find affordable housing.hin the U.S. You’re making the world a better place.
Vladivostok is definitely the most attractive city you've featured so far.
Probably the most famous person in the West from Vladivostok is the actor Yul Brynner. There is a Yul Brynner park and statue of him in the city according to Wikipedia.
Cool. The house he was born in is still there too (address below). His statue is in the little park right beside the house.
*Ulitsa Aleutskaya, 15, Vladivostok, Russia*
Every time my mom comes to visit me in Vladivostok she has to go take a picture with the Yul Brynner statue ;)
@Odile Lalanne да, Хабаровск лучший!

"In Instagram, then in real life." Natasha, you are all of us. I love your deadpan sense of humor also )))
4:55 - I made a mistake, it’s actually the 19th century because in the 18th century Vladivostok didn’t exist 😄.
Thanks for watching! 🌊 Somebody in comments said Vladivostok is a Russian Vancouver. People also often compare it to San Francisco, Seattle or Saint Petersburg. In your opinion, what city does Vladivostok look like?
Btw this is a video about Vladivostok I filmed one year ago: ua-cam.com/video/RgobeaklsVg/v-deo.html
There might have been a time in the past when other places looked like Vladvostok, but for this moment in time it is a unique statement in history. When Russia becomes rich again much of the the old Vladivostok will be replaced with all things new, as we see in Moscow. Some of the change will be good, and some will not be good. That is life.
I'm from California, and it definitely reminds me of San Francisco in so many ways! Thank you for making this video and keep up your great work!!!
More Vancouver than San Francisco. It seems to be more cold, a similar vegetation. The bridge is like the lions bridge in Vancouver, an important link. San Francisco is more cute. To reach it, a lot must be done, it's far away from it. Saint Petersburg is more at a flat area. This city is build on hills. In Seattle there is no such river or bridge, I guess.
Yes, and in Vladivostok there’s also Golden Horn Bay
@Jamie C oh I’ve never heard of this city! Maybe all coastal cities look alike ☺️
I enjoyed learning about Vladivostok. Excellent video! Thanks , Natasha!
This is the old Natasha, I grew to love and respect.
Thanks for the tour of that beautiful City
It is interesting to take a virtual tour with you. I will probably never visit this city myself, so it is great to see it through your camera. Thank you.

You do great work!
Keep beautiful videos coming!

Really a great exploration tour! The bridge is beautifully designed.
Yah, designed & financed by Japanese.

@@SamsRussianAdventures I don't remember what made me click the first ever video I watched of hers (it's been a while), but what made me subscribe and keep coming back is a feeling of something natural, as though she's living everyday life and just taking us with her. I'm sure there's some planning involved, but I think she intends it that way. It's also nice that the video isn't heavily edited, because it matches the feeling. I took a quick look at your channel and I think some of the flashy thumbnails and also all the women in bikinis or titillating outfits on the cover of older videos would push me away. I don't mean it in a bad way, I'm just trying to be helpful because you mentioned having a channel, etc. Perhaps you two wouldn't share the same audience.
@@AliceP. hi, thank you for your feedback. I’m in the process of editing all my thumbnails due to feedback that I received from another girl. It’s a balancing act because most of the feedback I get from people is that she is a beautiful Russian girl and that’s why the watch and we’re attracted to her videos. The majority of viewers are men and the one thing I can’t do is turn into a girl. Another thing which I really like is the soft voice. I’ve done every day life videos and people have said that every day life is boring and they want adventure and I’ve done adventure and people say that they just want every day life! So it’s a bit of a minefield! I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Did you watch any of my videos?
@@SamsRussianAdventures that's something that happens with many young female youtubers - getting a lot of views from men who aren't really interested in what they're saying. It's funny because I think other youtubers might perceive it as an advantage but most times it's clearly not the girl's intention and it probably feels weird.
I think it's normal that you get these paradoxal feedbacks from your viewers. Some people like adventure, some people like everyday life, some are interested in culture... I think the important thing is to do what you like to do and build your community around it. I find Natasha to be rather consistent in that sense. She probably gets a ton of requests, but her videos are pretty much the same every time.
I think it's dangerous to make videos with the mindset of "I'll do whatever people want me to do so they'll watch me", because then I think you end up making content that doesn't suit you. The videos you have about girls, for example, I don't know if that's you or if that's an attempt to get some guys to watch. If it's the latter, you gain and you lose at the same time, by attracting a specific kind of audience and pushing others away.
I didn't watch any videos.
@@AliceP. thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback. It’s interesting but I don’t even know if it’s a conscious decision by men to watch videos of beautiful girls. But I think that if a man likes adventure and girls but the channel shows real life of a girl, they will still find it interesting, even if it is not showing what they are interested in exactly.
"In the Instagram, in real life." Perfect Natasha.
Thought was a cool touch.
She has a lot of such gems in her videos!
@@thearchibaldtuttle That I have noticed and enjoyed.
😢This is before the Russian invasion into Ukraine. Thank you Natasha for this fantastic video log. It's like traveling back in time when it was peace time and peaceful skies when you don't have to worry about missiles and drones buzzing around and minus the crippling sanctions.
Thank you. In 1990 we were the first western warships to visit Vladivostok since the war. Amazing city but the people were by far and away even more amazing. Very memorable and thank you again for the recent images, has changed a lot since then....
I love hearing your perspective. It’s always honest. That’s why your videos are of my favorites.
word
Really enjoyed this video. Vladivostok is a really interesting city and has its own beauty and charm. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with us.
You comments on the drinks "instagram" and "real life" made me crack up! Love your Dutch-sarcastic sense of humor.
It's a typical russian humor tbh. It will be more darker and cynical with the age xD
Haha ja, dat dacht ik dus ook
I am becoming an addict to Natasha's videos, so informative. So well done. Working my way thru the older ones.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
Salam (Peace)
This is authentic and enjoyable video presentation. Thanks you.
Another excellent piece.
I always have a big smile on my face when I watch and listen to your videos.
Even when there is depressing subject matter, I am so happy for you to be doing what you like.
It's true, you get better and better.
Totally cool that you travelled with your mother.
I would love to see a collaboration (with translations) between you and your mother.
She should be very happy and proud of you.
The Vladivostok song from the previous video would randomly pop into my head every now and then
Yes!
Thank you for making a curious and informative clips about Vladivostok Natasha!! As I live in south korea, primorskiy krai is very close but culture is very different. And also it was very interesting that theres a lot of second-hand vehicles that came from Japan even the handle is on the right side lol.
Beautiful video! Beautiful city and location!👍🏼 Reminds me of my home San Francisco Ca. USA
This music! Fantastic selection. Melancholy good! Thanks for the great video.
yes, many similarities to Seattle...the hilly downtown, important Pacific port, water-oriented in general, an Asian core, lively waterfront, bridges, scenic overlooks. Vladivostok is a sister city to Tacoma, which is the next city south of Seattle and which has grown to be very similar to Seattle over the last few decades.
very much enjoyed this look of Vladivostok
Seattle got your butts kicked by the Titans on Sunday and you were fav... ; ))
Vladivostok always reminds me San Francisco. Both cities are hilly.
But we don't have random 🔫 sho oters here like in Seattle 😂😂
@@akzz870 It's an American folklore 🔫🔫🔫
Yes Seattle is like a combination of California and Japan. A mainland Pacific Rim outpost of the European world; Vladivostok is the same.
You can see here how much the ability of the Yeah Russia's team are improving.
Vladivostok looks much better in the summer than in the winter (of course!).
This channel does not just deserve to be subscribed but also to click on the bell!
Great footage and editing. So we got nice impressions of the city. Kudos especially to your mom, who were with you and obviously performed very well in recording while on the go. 👍
So Wonderful to the city in this light of video, Always seen at a Military city . Great video Again.
Very well filmed video. Nice and interesting this city of Vladivostok. And those artworks покорили мое сердце. so to speak. A big "Thank you !"
I'm glad that you gave Vladivostok another shot. I was hoping you would return and show more. I remember the last time you went, you were just there for some small errand and not gonna be there long, so you just recorded what you could, which I totally understand. 🙂
It's nice to see some spots in Vladivostok that deserved to be shown, like the beach, seaside restaurants, seaport, the fair 🎪🎡 (by the way, that "thing" is called a "ferris wheel" @11:11 ), and some places inside the city.
I can see how Vladivostok is like the "Russian San Francisco." It has its own Chinatown, buildings on hills, the transportations, and the obvious seaside areas. I've been there and in LA many years ago for a school trip, though not for long, but I can see the resemblance.
I must say the areas look very colorful, even the alleys didn't really look all that bad to me, surprisingly. I've actually seen worse where I've been, so the alley comment is supposed to be a compliment. But yeah, poverty sucks.
Also, when you said "imagine living in this high-rise building (condominium) and go to the pier to swim," I actually had the super rare chance to do that for 3 days in a rare vacation 10 years ago in South Padre Island, Texas! It's a great view from the balcony up high, the inside apartment felt so luxurious with kitchen, living room, comfortable furniture, and the sea, beach, and the different times of skyline looks beautiful (I still have pictures of it), and we would go and swim at the beach and water parks. It's so amazing, I miss those days.
Anyway, you said "imagine," so I figured I'd give an idea of what it's like to be there with such description. 🙂 If you have the chance, I would highly recommend it, but I bet it's expensive... I was invited by my family for vacation then, so I don't know how expensive it was.
If I was to visit Russia, I wouldn't know which to visit, honestly. Reason being is that Moscow and St. Petersburg are the usual obvious choices, but the Far East seems so overlooked and underappreciated.
I wonder what else Vladivostok has to offer? 🤔 But yeah, that city seems like a nice place to visit. Interesting that there's more Asian influence than Moscow/western Russian influence.
There’s also a decommissioned costal battery built in the early 20th century that you can visit, if you are into military history that sort of stuff
Well written Sammy M. That's what my first perception of Vladivostok was. It's a hidden gem. Tons of ocean front property in a very strategic location, close to a lot of important locations with lots of money to spend, or they can choose to remain unspoiled and just be a beautiful city. By the way, your bridge looks similar to the one we have in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina.
What a beautiful city. So much to see and so much history. Wonderful video as always, Natasha! :)
While I was in US Navy stationed a Pearl Harbor, Hawaii a Russian ship ported for a week or so. I was a submariner so spent no time on surface ships let alone a Russian one. But I got to tour it. It was interesting. I traded a Russian marine from the ship my wrist watch for his beret with the red hammer and sickle. Still have it.
great video cant wait for NEW
That's a cool trade
That's really awesome shipmate. HM Corpman here, U.S. Navy Hoorah!!!
ohhh REALLY CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW
Amazing. Unlike overly brushed & edited travel shows that are filled with excessive camera movements & too much music these vlogs are relaxing & shows the real world. Thank you for sharing this. One world. One family.
13:45 😯 hand pump 😄 true
Thank you. I'm British and now live in Tokyo. This film has really got me thinking I should visit Vladivostok, it looks like a very interesting place.
Thanks you so much for taking me on a tour (kinda-sorta') of your city. A hidden gem!
Great video as always and you skills are definitely improving without losing your unique attitude.
You have a natural gift to speak directly to each viewer
I really enjoy becoming used to your sense of humour and never fail to learn something new on each video while enjoying it 😀😕
I Love love love this content so much! It makes me believe that lil voice that says I could probably live in Russia and do very well, and Vladivostock in particular. Thank You for being our guide, Natasha!!!

@@SamsRussianAdventures Perhaps you're not getting enough female viewers. I mean, if you think about it, she's easy on the eyes being attractive and blonde, has a very mellow but educated talk, and lives in an area of Russia few of us know about. Of course most of her viewers are men. Maybe the same type of approach by a man is needed that women find irresistible and will want to watch you. Call it Marketing 101, as in making yourself desirable to women. Some of us men will still watch, sometimes. Good luck, friend. Syracuse, NY, US.
Maybe think 'outside the box' on your appearance, bad boy look or something. Women seem to like that look today. Weird.
@@tomyost6330 Hi Tom, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I completely agree with you but the audience who like watching videos about Russia, is 99% men. Men also unconsciously make decisions to watch videos about beautiful girls and will happily watch videos on a subject which they don’t particularly like if it contains a beautiful girl. I’m sure most of Natasha’s subscribers would happily watch a video on any topic. I really appreciate you for taking your time to write to me. God bless.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I think you got part of the analysis correct but she also has the perspective of a cognizant young russian woman that couldn't be emulated by someone who isn't. Also, and I don't think this is what you're saying, but if you need a pretty face to get views regarding Russia then you need to look no further than at mr Bald whom I'm sure you've heard of.
This is one of Your best videos yet, I really liked the continuity.

The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

Interesting to learn and to get an overview about Vladivostok, which is so far from Berlin/Germany. Thanks, Natasha! 👍
Natasha is truly the best ambassador for russian tourism 🤗🤗
Do you follow any other Russian content creators? Another impressive vlog from Natasha. vlogging has come so naturally to her. She has acquired success really quickly, I can't not be a little bit jealous of her, though the top quality of her videos are much better than mine as well as better than many youtuber's. I have actually been blogging regarding Russia for over 4 years but the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. I can see that you are interested about Russia. Can I ask you, to critique my channel and tell me what is not good enough and how I can make my videos better?
Thanks for the cool tour of Vladivostok! What a beautiful day for a sojourn around that really fascinating city. Your an amazing human being! Be well.
Wonderful to see another area of Russia and the traditions, celebrations and daily life! Thank you, Natasha! Well done!

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either.

Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones.

Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.

I really enjoy your work Natasha. I truely see Russia in a more positive light thanks to you.
Such a lovely city. It looks a bit like San Francisco as you mentioned, though much cleaner and well-kept. Like San Francisco in the 1940s. Very well done video. Thanks!
Yes! I can totally see it.
San Francisco is a hellhole compaired to this Russian city. Beautiful city Vladivostok.
It's ironic that American communists have turned San Francisco into a shithole while Vladivostok is clean and safe. We need to open up commerce and travel between the Russian Far East and the west coast of the USA. I live in Anchorage, Alaska, not so far from Russia. The economic vitality of the Far East would improve with better relations between us.
@@kixigvak So in San Francisco the government controls the means of production, and there's no private property and no private businesses? LOL.

Indeed a great vibe. Part I liked the best is when she says: "Instagram-real life"
@@robbrown4621 Thanks for your feedback. I don't see the need for her to talk about Politics. There seems to be a feeling from people outside Russia.that everyone in Russia is against Putin and they are just scared to say it. It's not true. People think that Putin is a good, strong leader, they maybe just wish that there was a real opposition. But Russia has always has long leadership and this is not as much a concern for the Russian people.
Your English and presentation of your videos continues to improve Natasha!! Keep making content, many people enjoy the perspective you provide

This maybe far from Poland, but this city is not so different from other European cities.
I visited the city in the early 90s as part of a fleet visit when I was in the us navy aboard the USS Princeton. I would love to go back
Doh! So jealous! My West Pac onboard the USS Callaghan end up in the Indian Ocean. Only two ports o'call before I got medevac'd: Subic Bay the Phillipines and Diego Garcia.
@@lornfant it was great drinking and hanging out with Russian sailors. Grew up military dependent, these men didn't seem quite the enemy I was taught to believe them to be.
Was it in 1996? I remember visiting the city and seeing a big US ship and a bunch of (sometimes drunken) sailors in white US uniforms :).
@@algalkin it was in 1990
Russia's Vancouver !
As a Canadian, does it rain as much as Vancouver? 😄
@@davidlynch9049 Lol! Good question friend! The comparison it's more all about the fact that both towns are on the extreme of their countries. Hopefuly, it doesn't rain as much as Vancouver, which regardless of so much rain is a fascinating town! Natasha surely knows better than me...Greetings from Brazil
I'm surprised by how European the city feels given the geography.
@@CloningIsTooGoodForSheep Yes, really surprising! So far fetched and yet European...
Not really like Vancouver, I'd say it's more like Halifax, Canada.

An additional outstanding video from Natasha. video has actually come so naturally to her. She has actually received success so quickly, I can't help be a bit envious of her, though the quality of her videos are much better than mine and also above the majority of youtuber's. I have actually been blogging regarding Russia for over 4 years and also the youtube algorithm has not been as kind to me as it has been to her. Can I ask, what was it that attracted you to click on Natasha's video, prior to you understanding just how impressive she is?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Yeah, it's often hard to see other people success in topics where we would like to do the same, especially when we can't see the reason for this.
This is just something we have all to go through in our lives and to create paths for us to deal with this in a way that others and us can grow. But you seem on a good path there, and good luck for you there :)
The reason i initially clicked was the cool ice photo on her most clicked video.
Then i stayed for her very authentic way of explaining and showing things, and i started to support her because vlogging seemed like something she enjoyed. I also was glad to find an authentic channel about russia without the common sexism and chliches that i get recommended a lot the other times.
She is also in a similar age group as me and seems to has similar moral values, which makes her more, i guess the best word is relatable, even though it's not to be literally interpreted, but i guess you will get what i mean.
This combined leads to the videos on the one side giving new perspectives on land and culture, while still maintaing a close internet connection to the audience, me.
I hope this answers your questions.
@@dermango9769 Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it. I loved the ice picture too. I have a video swimming in ice, at night in -20 degrees and it received less than 500 views. I also have a different videos swimming in lakes during winter. I dob't think Natasha even went swimming in the lake did she? I understand about the sexist thing. The problem that content creators about Russia have, is that 99% if not more viewers are men. They are automatically going to to be interested in Russian girls without even thinking about it. Natasha obviously doesn't need to be sexist as she is already a beautiful Russian girl.
So we need to think of ways to include women in our videos without being sexist or playing to stereotypes.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Well, as an Example, you have to see, that it is not a about the pure fact, that she was in cold water, but about the humoristic effect about the Picture.
Videos about people swimming in ice water exist a lot, but there is to my knowledge at least only one picture that captured the irony of casually drinking tea and working on a laptop while sitting in freezing waters.
So, what i want to say is, it's not just about the content, but also what to do with it.
And you have your own beautiful kind in your videos, seeming honest and open with your audience, and admitting your own problems.
Stay who you are, and make the content you like i guess. I'm definitely not the first to say this, but it is not less true because of that, just very hard to achieve.
I'm clearly failing at this myself all the time, but i still think it's the right way to go.
Also i think you already achieved something great with your channel, you seem to have a nice community.
Great video once again. Very informative with balanced views. Well done :-)
Спасибо. Сейчас живу в Арсеньеве, но во Владивостоке прожил лет 7. Очень скучаю по Владивостоку, поэтому летом снова помчу туда. Видео - прям бальзам на душу.

Very interesting and beautiful city. Thanks for the sunny walkabout.
I'm investigating for my channel regarding life in Russia and is 4 going on 4 years now and I have over 200 videos but the algorithm sill hasn't favoured me yet like it did Natasha. Can you help me? Can you take a look channel and see what you don't like because I really want to improve. just about everyone who found my videos leave great comments about how much they adore my content
I really enjoy watching your content. It's fascinating, educational and mega informative. Keep on doing what your'e doing please. By the way I am a Brit living in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Please stay safe!

and Natasha you are a great ambassador of your beautiful and huge country. You and many other young people, who love the good sides of Russia are the future!

Love your videos. Your accent, personality and expressions are mesmerizing. Uplifting and fun to watch.
I live in Vancouver, visit Seattle often (3 hours drive from my home), lived in San Francisco Bay Area (Monterey), and know well Saint Petersburg. Every city has its own character, of course, and differs from others. Your presentation is a wonderful example of modern vlogging, and Vladivostok is shown from many angles of its beautiful and complicated nature. By the way, you mentioned LA and Hawaii walking by the embankment. Yes, I agree. Pacific has an inspiration and I believe that Vladivostok has a very good perspective to become a hot Pacific Rim city.

Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

What great well balanced content, your production skills are impressive ... thanks for a nuanced glimpse of Vladivostok!
I missed that "Vladivostok" song chorus used in the first video about Vladivostok and that stayed in my head for several hours after I've watched the video.
Same here, everytime i read Vladivostok i can't avoid singing it xd
That bridge is beautiful and reminds me so much of one of ours (in Scotland) I filmed as we sailed under a couple of years ago. Almost like a large harp. Nice video as always. Thank you, Natasha.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

Well done! Really good camera work and beautiful images.
Another amazing video!!
Great video! I've always been drawn to Vladivostok since a child. Seeing it on a map all alone on the far eastern edge of the vast Russian nation. I'll probably never get to visit it in real life so thank you Natasha for the tour. I'm pleased it was a better visit than last year for you.
I really do love the look of Vladivostok's boulevard
You really did a good job showing us around Vladivostok in this video. I found it very interesting and informative. I feel you are becoming a professional-level videographer while still retaining your amateur-type charm and I always look forward to seeing a new video by you. Great work as always. This was actually one of my favorite videos of yours! I like how it combines your personal vlog style with a travel vlog. Thanks for showing us around the city.
Another excellent video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your impressions and experiences, love from Canada.
Great video! Your tour of Vladivostok was unique. Good job!
An additional fantastic video from Natasha. video has actually come so easily to her. She has actually acquired success extremely quickly, I can't but not be a little envious of her, though the high quality of her videos are much better than mine as well as above many youtuber's. I have been blogging concerning Russia for over 4 years and the youtube algorithm has not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. Can I ask, what was it that attracted you to click Natasha's video, before you knowing just how incredible she is?
Love watching Natasha, my eyes feel my head opening with sites and descriptions you tell, always feel smarter after your videos, only wish, travel was world wide again, someday.
Really cool video! Happy to see that Mexican food reached as far as Vladivostok! Greetings from Mexico!
Great video. Thx. U tell great stories. Always w the humor. Everything normal.
I grew up in San Francisco, the similarities here are numerous and amazing! I guess coastal cities all have a certain vibe.
I love the cable railway.
it looks so cute and convenient.
It lets you go up a steep hill quickly using very little energy. The weight of the car coming down balances the car going up.
@@kkarllwt appreciate for your comment.
I've known about this city for a long time since I studied history a lot as a young man. But it's so cool to be able to see what these Eastern Russian cities look like in the modern era. Good work. I really enjoy your videos.
I love this new video on Vladivostok. Its a LOT more upbeat than last year's. I suppose that is partly due to where you chose to go in the city this year versus last but maybe it also had to do with your better familiarity this time too. Maybe a nicer, sunnier day too? Anyway I love your videos and hope we see more!
Another great video Natasha. I enjoyed the information you presented
About the school and competition, excellent. Very happy you received
10K rubles, you deserve more. Please keep your videos coming we in America
Really enjoy learning about Russia and your life, thanks.
William
Thank You Natasya, will be watching more of you 🥰 your videos are informative.
Many years ago while I was visiting Crimea, then under Ukraine, met a couple, a mother and her daughter from Vladivostok and my curiosity about this easternmost Russian city grew and fascinates me.
Beautiful city! I wish America looked this good! Your work is excellent and your style is wonderful! Thanks for posting this beautiful video! Peace.
Huh? As a Russian who lives in America I can assure you that most big cities in America look way better…She compared Vladivostok to San Francisco and if you’ve ever been to SF you know that it looks way more beautiful. I’m not trying to bring my country down but I do wanna be realistic about where Russia is when it comes to infrastructure and unfortunately outside Moscow and Saint Petersburg the infrastructure is trash.
I’m from Moscow and Moscow can be compared to American cities and I’d say it wins in a lot of categories but the rest of Russia isn’t Moscow.
@@slava8617 Это и есть главная ошибка в оценке ."выглядеть", то есть картинка с обложки.., был в Сан-Францицско дважды, ыв 2012 и 2017 годах.....особенно впечатлил район Тендерлойн....такого количества бомжей в одном месте я не видел за всю жизнь...ну и запахи с соответствующей "инфраструктурой", та же история с Портлендом, попали во время санитарной обработки приюта для бездомных в районе городского рынка, тоже ещё то удовольствие. То есть..туда смотри, там красиво, а сюда не смотри...
@@slava8617 I lived in some of the so-called most attractive quatters in the world. Vladivostok offers now a better environment than California and San Francisco.
Many entrepreneurs move from SF to nearby states, Texas, Arizona. California has even adopted an exit tax to prevent those departures.
It is well known than migrants tend to hide the fact they live abroad in poor condition.
You seem confident relaxed and happy. Happy for you, hope it's for real!
Yet another outstanding video from Natasha. vlogging has actually come so easily to her. She has obtained success really quickly, I can not but not be a bit envious of her, though the top quality of her videos are far better than mine and also better than almost all youtuber's. I have been blogging concerning Russia for over 4 years but the youtube algorithm has not been as kind to me as it has been to her. Can I ask, what was it that attracted you to click Natasha's video, prior to you knowing exactly how impressive she is?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Personally for me, I think her thumbnails and video titles are extremely eye-catching and curious.
@@k.c7655 yes. A pretty girl on a thumbnail is always going to attract attention. Thanks for your feedback
@@SamsRussianAdventures I just checked and the first video of hers I watched is 'Life in a small town in the Far East of Russia Spassk' and the thumbnail is of her working on her laptop in an icy river haha. I think if you pick a topic that is intriguing to many people, and a half funny/half stereotypical thumbnail, it will attract a lot of people
@@k.c7655 thank. I’ve tried funny thumbnails and I get a lot of abuse about it being clickbait and nothing to do with the video. I actually made a video about swimming in the icy lake where I actually go into the ice hole that Natasha is sitting in on the thumbnail, but it didn’t get many views. I appreciate your help and feedback
Thank you Natasha for this great tour of Vladivostok. You made me aware of many interesting things. I think San Francisco is a much dirtier city. I think it is a lot like Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. There they have this incline cable car on the Manogahela River. Thanks for sharing this beautiful city.
Don't know it you have ever heard of the board game RISK, but it was how many of us Americans learned a bit about geography ( other than in school ). I used to always try to get Kamchatka, or I believe Vladislovok, to attack Alaska in the U.S. It was my favorite strategy, in a game where world domination was the goal. It was a fun game, with no serious political, or other wise, gains in mind. At any rate, the board had Kamchatka as the farthest North Eastern place, and the best move was to use the pathway to get to Alaska and try to conquer from there. It's kinda silly, but since about 6 years old, that was always my intended strategy. It looks like an awesome place, so it goes right along with your always refreshing videos. Keep em' coming and stay healthy!!!
Absolutely amazing video, first time ever saw the blue thing you fetched water
