Thank you so much for watching!
Coming home is a great feeling. Finally we can rest and prepare to move to the Philippines.
In last week's episode, we got into a bad situation on our way from Moscow to Krasnodar, but luckily for us everything ended well.
I made my favorite rice and fried fish for breakfast. We missed home-cooked meals and hanging out with Mom together.
After the meal, I continued my unfinished business, which I had to put down when we left for Moscow.
I wanted to knit a dress, but made a mistake somewhere. Now I have to undo and start over.
I want to give this dress to my sister for her birthday.
A few days later, I finished knitting this dress and a beautiful hat. I am so happy and proud of what I had accomplished. This is my biggest crochet project since I learned to crochet.
I went about my work and my husband too, went about his business.
On the way back, he stopped by his friend Valera's place. He has his own local bakery, where he and his family bake delicious crusty bread and various cakes and rolls. They talked about life, his move, and he headed home.
A week before we left, we decided to visit Boria’s friends to say goodbye.
We went into town to see Alexei, who my husband is very grateful to have introduced him to the Philippines. But first we visited his wife Angelina and stopped by the cafe where she works. On the way, we bought flowers for her. I was happy to finally meet her.
At that time, the cafe was having a baking master class for little pastry chefs.
We sat down at the table and Angelina gave me a beautiful handmade flower cookie. She then treated us to coffee and cakes and flatly refused to let us pay for them.
We had a little talk with Angelina. She was so fascinated by me.
We said goodbye to Angelina and went to her husband Alexei.
Alexei gave us a tour of their garden and talked about installing solar panels.
Alexei's mom showed me her beadwork. This interesting for me because I am also into needlework.
Alexei showed me their pet, a guinea pig. I saw the animal for the first time and now wants one for myself.
I told my husband many times that I dreamed of getting a capybara. The capybara looks a lot like a guinea pig, only bigger in size.
After lunch we went home. We said goodbye to Alexei and wished that our next meeting would take place in the Philippines.
On the way, I showed Boria what Alexei's mom gave me. I appreciate the gifts and wants to try beading in the future.
At home we are counting down the days until we leave. I have a little talent for writing and helping my Boria write scripts for our series. I used to write lyrics and poems a lot in my spare time.
Three days before we left, we went into the woods to pick flowers. I had dreamt of doing that for a long time. At last the flowers began to bloom.
I am glad that the weather is getting warmer, but a little sad that we won't be here when summer comes. I wanted to see the apples grow. We planned to stay here until the end of summer. My husband wanted me to experience all four seasons, but unfortunately we have to leave as soon as possible. We paid for an annual visa for me, but because of the war it will all be thrown away.
We have to choose what is best for our family, and we chose to live peacefully.
On the last day before we left, Boria’s writer friend Vadim Ivanovich and his son Boris came to visit us to say goodbye too.
He told that it is very difficult to part with faithful friends. Although morally he has long prepared for this, he can not believe that the moment has come.
No one knows for how long this parting will last, or for ever.
They are smiling not to cry as soon they will be separated by thousands of km.
Many people commenting in Boria’s videos don't understand why we have to leave, and say it's cowardly. They don't know that there are deeper reasons why Boria don't want to stay in Russia.
I will tell you about them in the next series.
Thank you for subscribing to our channel ''Island Life".

The last guy in the video (the elder) is full of wisdom. How nice to have such a friend!

[@mikeeguti2165]

These are true good Russian people who live in peace. Not what is being portrayed on the news. God bless the Russian people and Ukraine people. I hope peace will prevail.

[@lalielou1]

I wish you both, and your mother in law a beautiful life. You do narrate beautifully. I hope you'll find a documentary narrator job soon. God Bless you all. ❤😊

[@belledcat7249]

more power to you and Boris. That was a piece of very good advice from Boris's true friend. He supported BORIS and was like a father to him. I am also happy that Boris took his Mother with him to the Philippines to start a new life. I wish you both the best of everything. waiting to watch more of your adventure videos

[@josephines.l.6974]

You are a good wife, saving your husband and his mom from unending war in Russia, your family will have a good and safe life here in the Philippines, always pray that in the end, both country will be on God's side in Jesus name . Amen

[@russia_53]

Россия не воюет. Россия всегда защищается. С Россией сейчас воюет блок НАТО, руками страны "Украина". Мне очень жаль что наши братья украинцы, пошли воевать против русских живущих в Донецкой и Луганской области. Русские своих не бросают, мы 7 лет призывали "Украину" к миру. Нам не оставили шанса на мир. Россия всегда побеждает, и это будет всегда! Russia is not at war. Russia is always on the defensive. The NATO bloc is now at war with Russia, with the hands of the country "Ukraine". I am very sorry that our Ukrainian brothers went to fight against the Russians living in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Russians do not abandon their own, we have been calling "Ukraine" for peace for 7 years. We were not given a chance for peace. Russia always wins, and it always will!

[@Beansprout.2131]

I always feel happy and chill watching your videos but this particular episode just made me cry. I can't imagine myself leaving my beloved country because of war or conflicts. It's sad to leave your childhood friends, family, and your home behind and live a new life elsewhere. I pray that one day you can invite all your friends and family for a vacation here in the Philippines. Wishing your family good luck and a happy life here. Welcome to the Philippines, Boris and Darlene! ❤

[@user-mz4ce2rm9z]

[@BertEngada]

I am a fan and I like the way you two are telling your stories. I first stumbled on your video "Reason why my husband left Russia" and hearing the stories, I know your husband is a wonderful person and I felt sorry for him in the end, but I think, all will work for you all in the end. I was interested in both of you, so I started watching your videos from the beginning. I'll be following you both from now on. Stay safe and Healthy!

[@islandlifebd]

Thank you so much Bert. Have a great day🤗❤️

Interesting journey. I listen to the narration more than the video though I like the places. Your journey reminds me of my visit to Armenia 2 yrs ago. The view from Russian village looks like Tajikistan rural, that I visited several yrs ago. Your husband and his family n friends looks very nice people. Take care of Boris. I wish you a good future family. Enjoy the Philippines Boria…

If your rusdian husband had to stay here for a long time, he can gained so much from his skills, "wood carving". It's so pricey here, only the wood sala set with carvings, it cost now for a 100k plus.

That guy Vadim Ivanovich has a lot of wisdom. Too bad that there's not a lot of him in their group. The same people who opposed Boris on his plans which he tried to do the proper way but still blocked by them must be the same fanatic people who wrote those bad comments. So ignore and just keep on moving on. Life has to be live happily so stay away from those who drag you down...

You’re a young couple and it’s just right to go to a peaceful country to start a new life. Although nowadays, talk of war bet. China and U.S. is brewing and the Phil. is in the middle of it because of the strategic position and it’s alliance with the US. Just keep yourself informed of the latest news. As of Russia, you can always go back there when everything is back to normal again. When will it be, no one knows but let’s hope and pray there’s no war anywhere in the world. 🙏☮️

[@watchyourplate9150]

It was great to see warm Russians in this video as i haven't met one personally in my visit to Moscow way back. But then, i am sure there are great and kind Russians. Anyway, there's nothing wrong in running and choosing to live in peace. That's not cowardness. Leaving does not equate to unloving your country. Respecting individual choices is what we all need to practice. They have their reasons, let's respect it.

Poor Boris. The Cossack Society kicked him out, ostracized him for what he believes in - to create a Cossack Museum by himself with his own money. He doesn’t believe in the current war so he leaves just like tens of thousands of them did. He has caring friends. They know him best and going to the a Philippines with his wife is a good choice for now and his friends wished him well.

[@prieten49]

It takes great courage to leave one's country and move to another, especially one where you are unfamiliar with the culture and you don't speak the language. Boris refused to participate in an unjust war. He has nothing to be ashamed of. It is estimated that 1 million Russians of military age have fled Russia. They are the true heroes. They do not obediently march into their graves like the Mobiks. May you both find peace and happiness in the Philippines.
