2022 conclusions, xmas market and leaving Russia

[@owenj4419]

So glad that you moved to Georgia! Now you can have a completely safer and more creative atmosphere! Be safe and Happy New Year!

Alena is like the sarcastic voice inside my head has come to life and become a real person. I love it.

[@kylehines3185]

She reminds me of DEBBIE DOWNER.

[@economicist2011]

Glad to see you're doing well. You and your friend Natasha both have a refreshing "realness" that is sadly missing among many Russian vloggers. I don't really know what I mean by that, but I hope you understand the sentiment.

[@paulobrien9572]

And a very happy 2023 to you Alena. Knowing that you are safely out of Russia is a pleasant start to the new year. I almost didn't recognize you because a persistent smile seems to be a new facit of your personality, you might have to rename your channel if this continues. I hope 2023 provides a multitude of opportunities for you.😁💚💚

[@joeshmooo5327]

So true what you say about almost not recognizing her. There is a brightness in your face I had never seen before.

[@Spaceman719]

Yeah she looks real happy …

[@simonpierce9807]

Don't be surprised that your videos are popular - they are a window into a different world, at a time when everyone is looking in your direction. Stay safe!

Fantastic to see you and a NEW video !!!! Glad you are safe and free !!!!!

[@a1smith]

Alena, I'm glad that you are very much safer. I'd love to see you smiling but can understand why you don't, there's very little for you to smile about. Your posts are always thoughtful and considered - and you have my hopes and wishes for a better future for you and for everyone else affected by the terrible situation you have been caught up in through no fault of yourselves.

[@81OH4Z4RD]

It's good to see you safe and happy. I mean depressed. Stay well Alena

Now she is the DEPRESSED GEORGIAN. DEBBIE DOWNER is depressing no matter what country she is in.

[@NormanF62]

People begin an experiment with no expectation of it becoming central to their life. Its like a hobby at first and then it acquires a serious character. That’s what happened with Alena’s channel! Creativity is like a gift from the muses on Helicon. That gift Is yours Alena and may it bring you joy and much success in this new year and beyond! You and your fellow YTbers Natasha and Dari offer us much to consider as the river of time pushes ceaselessly on into the future.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

Bit late to the party. Glad you’re out of harm’s way. 🙂 KZbin can be a cesspool sometimes but it can also help remind us that just because someone is from a place that doesn’t mean that they’re defined by that place. You’ve got a lot of courage, Alena. ❤️

[@geoffh2560]

Great to hear you have escaped to Georgia and can live safely and free! Let's hope 2023 is a great year for you - and the people of Ukraine too.

[@Ubi2447]

Thank you for your content! I'm so glad that KZbin has been a success for you. It's been nice to watch someone from Russia who has an actual brain between their ears talk about the war in Ukraine as well as show us what life is like for someone where you live and I hope for peace and normality soon. Plus excited for the content you put out this year! Thanks for sharing your life with us and good luck, Alena!

Very glad you are safe, in a place you can speak openly, using that very fine brain to help us understand more about the world we are unfamiliar with. I hope you keep your wonderful sense of humour and irony, it makes me smile and be hopeful for the future.

Congratulations on all the firsts you experienced in 2022! You will do well, life will deliver many unforseen events. Hopefully a peaceful rapid conclusion to the war.

[@mayflowerlash11]

Hi Alena, I too am glad you are in Georgia where you can call a war a war. Yes, 2022 must have been a bit crazy for you, but you are young and resilient and you will get through your troubles. Depressed indeed, I see you smiling. I hope you have a good 2023. Cheers.

[@sargonofakad]

Good to hear from you, Alena. So, you have moved to Georgia. A wise choice, I believe. I have a feeling that this will be a significant year for you. At any rate, I will be looking out for your videos and sharing comments with you. Cheers, Phil

[@Bareego]

I'm not sure I would have been prepared to move to a different country in my late teens. I did it a bit later on, but how exciting is it. All the new places to see, getting used to your surroundings and the local suburb, the way people do things differently etc. Looking forward to see more of your experiences going forward and hope this year will be a lot better than the last.

[@jgos]

A happy and healthy 2023 to you! I enjoy all of your videos, Alena and follow your friends as well. Hoping that we see less war and more peace in the next year and more people caring about the state of the little blue marble that is our planet. 🕊🌍

Comment for the algorithm but since i am here..... Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.(true fact) As for your channel gaining momentum i think it's because you are " real " in what you do (and say) and you also have a knack for looking through the camera and making the connection with your audience. It's a rare talent. Stay safe, be well and smile occasionally if you feel like it. Cheers!
