  • 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!

      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 !

      @islamisthetruewaytogod6812 Рік тому

      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)..

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’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!

      @@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.

      What would be really amazing if we not only had a bridge between Alaska and Russia but also a major highway/freeway going all the way from the Russian far east to Europe. Japan was offering to build this road but the Russian government rejected the idea. Imagine the amount of tourism/business that it would create. A lot of trade would be happening by ground instead of just air and water. If you were a trucker, you'd be able to make a trip from Florida all the way to Europe entirely by ground and that kind of trip would pay ALOT. It would also provide opportunities for many small towns and villages along the route. There needs to be a change of mentality in the government so our nations would stop treating each other as enemies.

    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.

      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.

    What a wonderful video and as usual, you hold nothing back, but show as we say in America, "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly." That phrase comes from the Clint Eastwood western movie of the same title/name.
    In Pittsburgh, PA, they too have mountain side climbing rail cars, across the river from the city and is for the same purpose.
    You should invite your mother more, in your travel documentaries, because it provides you both with quality time together and she's really good with the camera.
    So, the beach area with all the food, drink and souvenir booths is called a BOARDWALK in America and it got that name, because the first walkways built along beaches, were made of wood planks or the generic name of boards; thus, a board walkway. Today, these boardwalks are constructed of concrete and last much longer, they can also withstand more weight of structures and handle a lot more human traffic. These concrete boardwalks also serve a very important purpose as a beachhead to stop land/soil erosion.
    So, as a suggestion from me to you, when Fall arrives and the trees start shedding their seeds/nuts, why not take a few sandwich bags with you on your hikes and gather those that have fallen to the ground? They would be, free seeds that you can take to the nature reserve, 20 miles North of your hometown the following Spring and plant them there? You can invite your friends to join you there, to make it a team effort. Your uncle can fish and you and your friends can plant the beginning of a small forest. This can be a great improvement to that area and another legacy you leave to future generations. At least think about, please.
    Be blessed always.

      @islamisthetruewaytogod6812 Рік тому

      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)..

    😢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.

    Epic! Outstanding editing, great music and very entertaining. I'm sure you know, but just in case, the ride you went on we call a Ferris Wheel. 11:11. If you need anything from the US that you can't get there, just ask. Much love from the USA!

      Yet another outstanding video from Natasha. Blogging has come so naturally to Natasha. She has received success really quickly, I can not help be a little bit jealous of her, though the high quality of her videos are far better than mine and above the majority of youtubers. I have been blogging about Russia for over 4 years and also the youtube algorithm has 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 exactly how amazing she is?

      @@SamsRussianAdventures That's a really good question Sam. I was just going down the UA-cam rabbit hole one night, and a bunch of videos popped up with titles like, What Russians think of Americans and after watching a couple things like that it just was one of the suggested videos. I watched and was immediately attracted to her personality and the area she was from reminded me of where I grew up in the 80's so it just was sort of a nastalgia trip for me. In a world full of pretentiousness, Her truthfulness was beyond refreshing. She wasn't looking for anything she was just being herself, very free spirited and natural. Also, I find her sort of historical and present day reporting is rewarding and entertaining at the same time. I had a very different view of Russia before I watcher her videos. I envy how laid back it is there and people don't seem to be caught up in all the madness. Her videos are just a really nice, perfect length Field trip for an ignorant American. And I know I've already said it, but she's very soulful and simplistic and it's sort of romantic just spending that time with a personality like that regardless of distance or differences. The more you think about it, the more complicated it gets. I hope that make sense.

      Hi Peter, I see you are a viewer of Channels about Russia. Can you help me. I'm too a substantial fan of this channel and I also create videos about life in Russia. However the youtube algorithm has not been as favourable to me yet. Almost all people that sees my material writes that it is very good, unfortunately few are able to view it. Can you be extremely straightforward and say how I can improve my content? I value your straightforward viewpoint.
