what parts of her talk is "brave" or "intelligent" exactly? Any details you can provide to back up such claims? I wish her all the best, but what I see is she's confused about her self-identity and person, she's even confused to which country she belongs, she's also confused about her sexuality. This is not brave, nor intelligent, it is mental and I don't say it with bad feelings or intentions, but it is what it is.

[@marthacichon5950]

Natasha❣️ As an older fellow woman I have to “scold”you, because I recognize the same mistake I made in my younger years. You definitely underestimate your skills!!! You speak as if you felt useless😮 You have a successful KZbin channel and produce interesting and meaningful content- this is no small thing and many people with marketing degree couldn’t succeed in that!!! This is definitely a strong point on your resume. Your English is also great! Please don’t think of your achievements so small. Also, I was very happy to hear you think of visiting Poland where I originally am from. If you make it to the EU you will definitely see many opportunities for yourself. Have you thought about eg. starting with applying for an internship in media houses - I really think your KZbin channel gives you an edge over people studying journalism and maybe you can combine that with getting additional degree- it is common in Germany where I live now that people first start some jobs to try out different things and then study for 2 years for such additional diploma (can be combined with work). But first and foremost please don’t think so low of your skills and yourself.

[@emf2007]

Excellent advice. I'd suggest sending your CV to The Economist and checking the magazine which sometimes offers traineeships. Be kind and fair to yourself, Natasha.

[@Whitenightwall]

Martha, as an older fellow human I'd suggest you think twice before you write anything that requires brain..... I won't tell you that you are doing mistakes the young people do, cause you are not young. Just not smart. Natasha is a nothing. A total zero of life, from a troubled russian society. A useless individual that tells absolutely nothing important and explains nothing to anyone. Example: the "russian law" of Georgia.... A law that ANYONE willing to read a few more articles outside of their woke bubble, will immediately find out that comes from America, that established that law first, years before Russia (for obvious security reasons) and enforces it on everyone in its territory right this very moment we are talking!!! But it is a "russian law" for the rest of the planet.... People who want to be human behave in a different way Martha. They become useful. They work. Or study and work. Or study in order to find themselves somewhere one day, so they can be useful. They do not stay youtubers. Because making money (that is the only thing YT offers to society, besides brainwashing) is not the ultimate goal for them. And let's be honest: all these "influencers", it is money they look to get. Maybe fame some of them. But "dollari" (imagine it with romanian accent and clinging coins noise in the background) is the only thing they dream of. Nothing good for anybody else. So, in a society full of homeless, drug addicts, orphans, sick people, destitute elderly and people losing everything to the banks, Natasha has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to give. To the real people that need help. And that is ok. It is normal: She is NOT here to help anybody!! Just "blah blah blah" in front of a camera and.... voila!!! here is some YT money for you!!! And to finish, let me just erase what both of you think: Do NOT kid yourselves that Natasha is doing anything, or managed to have "a successful YT channel". Nobody did anything. Example: I started a small YT channel with russian video clips for the war, for fun, to see what will happen. Do you know what happened? I got "shadow banned" me the first day!!! Not the second, or the third. No, no. THE VERY FIRST DAY dear Martha...... My first video got very popular and started getting massive views. Suddenly it stopped.... Next day nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I only got my own views... I laugh because I couldn't care less. I am not a YTer. But I tell you this, my fellow challenged human, just to introduce you to the notion of ALGORITHM !!! Yes, that is what makes (or breaks) Natasha in a second. Not her talent, or her beauty (figuratively speaking...). YT algorithm favors russian traitors. YT wants to show that "here, even the Russians know we are right!!". As soon as our dear Natasha changes her mind about the LGBTQ issues, or climate, or Ukraine, or Putin...... If she changes her opinion and decides to step outside of the goat herd, or (God forbid!!!😂) voice her opposition..... Yeah.... She will disappear into the darkness where she came from, never to be seen again. Her "not a small thing" carrier will evaporate into the thin air..... And yes, the marketing degree people may not have a channel like hers. But after all finishes, they still have their degree. So, Martha. Use your brain before you speak. As a fellow human, have a nice day in Germany.

[@lezazou5006]

You are not useless 😂 I like your intelligence, honesty and modesty

[@ElMoonLite]

Hi Natasha, as many others said already: you are more intelligent, bright, analytical and perceptive than you think. Everyone will feel stupid sometimes because other people seem to know things you don't, but you will know a lot of things others do not know. Don't think you need a degree or need to know a skill before you start any job or undertaking. You are eager to learn and explore new things. That in itself is more valuable than knowing anything already. In my experience you learn so much by just doing things. In the first year of a job you can learn more than a few years in university. If you set your mind to something, maybe even something you didn't even know you would find fun or interesting, you will find you can do anything, and will learn what you need to know on the way there. Make sure to just try things. Don't be afraid to fail, or maybe you just find you don't like it, and then try something else. That is not time wasted, that is just time you needed to learn what you want. And it helps to build a network of people you know, so you can ask for help or directions, on to the next thing you want or might need. As for what makes you special; you have a way with words, keeping people enthralled by anything from complex to mundane topics, that is quite special. And you have an eye for finding beauty where others might not, judging by the things you captured on camera that others would've just walked by, either by a quick turn of the camera on a whim of curiosity or even seeking out a place like a car graveyard or abandoned building. There is a curious creative artist in there as well.

Hello Natasha! I think you are going through a lot. War and economic crisis is hard. Is not something personal (that you lack of something) is that you are going through a hard time. At such overwelming times, is difficult to have the air and energy that one needs to continue discovering oneself. A lot of russians are coming to Argentina and are happy here! I'm sure you will find your way.

[@backwardsbandit8094]

NFKRZ and yourself have put the country of Georgia on my map! Im now interested in visiting Georgia for a while, in my escapist fantasy of touring all around Europe (which I will probably never get to do, because I am too poor😂) so I appreciate you sharing your experience with us. It is a shame that the times are tough, and that you didn't get to experience Georgia without all the political tensions. I'm glad that you acknowledge the situation, rather than just lashing out at the country and people of Georgia. That shows your intelligence, compassion and maturity that a lot of people lack - even people several decades older than yourself. I fully believe that there is a world where Russia and Georgia are friends, AND Georgia is still its full sovereign borders with its own rights to self determination as a nation. All that was ever needed from the Russian government, was a long-term genuine respect and good-faith effort in diplomacy. Unfortunately the Russian government just can't seem understand this. Instead they would rather trample over every nation and people's that it comes into contact with, both within and outside its borders. One day we'll see Russia embrace its full potential as a diplomatic and widely respected nation, but clearly not anytime soon.

[@arch5701]

Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Russia to become diplomatic at least for the next 20 years while Putin is in power. That is more than enough time to start new wars that would endanger its neighbors and especially us Georgians. That's why our government is being very careful while still aiming to become an EU member. We aren't part of any alliance that would guarantee our security. I'm disappointed that Natasha doesn't get that, but I understand where she's coming from.

I always enjoy getting updates from you, Natasha, as I have been following you since you started your channel. You were the first Russian vlogger I followed, and since then I now follow eight other Russian vloggers, most who have left Russia. I really like all you guys! If all Russians were like you guys, it would be a different Russia. There would be peace! Friendship! I sympathize with your predicament. When I was your age, I was confused about many things such as what career I should choose, where I should live, and what I believe. Many of us are raised in certain religions, which we later leave. Even so, as a deist, I still believe in God. I think you will eventually figure things out. In any event, I hope you can visit the United States again. There have been a huge amount of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe that settled in western Pennsylvania, which is where I grew up and reside.

I think the "age of innocence" for Natasha and Zack have come & gone. Both have vids pre 2022 of just walking & exploring their villages, the US town & university (for Zack), etc. However, after the events of 2022, there's no turning back for either of them. Both of them have openly stated anti-Z views, which would make them persona non grata in their motherland. Zack is now studying for a bachelor's degree in the US. Natasha is in Georgia. Dari Step is also in the US, studying for an MBA degree, but she regularly visits Russia and prefers to be non political in her vlogs (I respect her views, since she wants to be able to still visit family in Russia).

as a local, I dont always like my country to be represented as a hospitable, people pleaser. what you see today in Georgia is a scriptwritting of past century and soviet regime. If you trully want to know how we are as a people, you should get into history, and even without knowing history, what you can say is we are fighters, we are ancient people, feminism was born here, it was a woman in 4th century that changed whole religion of Georgian people, it was Queen Tamar who ruled as a king, people during 12th century lready knew and accepted equality, it was a poet Shota Rustaveli who wrote: ლეკვი ლომისა სწორია, ძუ იყოს თუნდა ხვადია" Lion cubs are equal, be they male or female. Even before that, we had Medea, after whom the word medicine is derived. Soviet times stole ourr history, made us look like weak, people pleasers, who will bend their head to anyone. They fed us a story that has never been ours. You already see young Georgian, free girls and boys, who reclaim back their power, who fight as wolves, after which our land is named. We are the wolf people of the ancient roots. that's how we want to be represented.

Since Natasha came here she has been only focusing on how this country treats her, how people treat her.. why just not be grateful, so many countries restricted entry of any Russian citizen since they started war in Ukraine. and they might be right because Russia is your country, you don't like something happening there, fix it. Anyways, this Country gave you so much, yet you sit here judgingly discussing if and why we are Rusophobic - What we feel towards you is not disgust but caution, driven by so many memories for so many centuries, phobia is fear, are you surprized that we fear people from a country that took away our freedom for the past 4 centuries? Do you know what your fellow citizens did here in 2008 and 1992 when they occupied us - they have been cutting heads of our people and playing football with it, in 2008, Russian soldiers stole toilets from Samachablo 🙄 they made mothers eat their sons eyes and by no means Im exaggerating.

I hope you find your best place. It is hard and we love to hear from you. I see Dari went back to visit family and is having difficulties getting her passport back. So avoid Russia at all costs. You have studied German, so that might be a good move and Portugal sounds good as well. Use your excellent English. We love the channel and feel your pain. Don’t worry, no one understands academia, not even the academics. Thanks for the video and keep safe. Congratulations on the silver lining.

Beautiful scenery.

I was watching your videos 3 years ago from Sakartvelo 🇬🇪and I am just saw that you are in here😀🤍welcome ❤️

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Natasha. Georgia looks and seems to be a nice place. You have adapted well to your surroundings. Wherever you may go, just continue to be yourself and you will be fine. I forgot to say Thank You! 😀

It's backsliding badly. It's more and more Russian every week it seems.

[@arch5701]

@@stevenhenry5267 No it's not. The main opposition party is promoting war against Russia or harsh measures that would lead to war. The government had to take drastic measures to expose where their funding is coming from. This country will not survive otherwise. Period. Prayers and ''concerns'' from westerners aren't going to save us when Russian tanks(that are already stationed 50kms away from the capital) start marching towards Tbilisi. You guys didn't even do enough to help a country of 40 million people win the war in your back yard, let alone some place over the Black Sea nobody has ever heard of. We have to be pragmatic.

Thank you, Natasha! I love learning about Georgia!

[@pveijk1]

Last month I was in Tbilisi. It is a big city and there is a nice down town with a cable car to some statue. There are modern buildings like tubes and mushrooms. I came from Gori (Stalinmuseum) and Kutaisi with students protest. Later I went to Batumi on the Black Sea. Russia occupies some regions where I was not allowed to go.

[@tnijurk3512]

If you had to choose - would you visit Kutaisi or Batumi again? Have a dilemma here

Another wonderful video, Natasha. So insightful.

You are not useless at all: You are a journalist; a sociologist; an advocate; a politician; a documentary producer; a travel writer; an innate communications expert; an entrepreneur; a teacher - not bad for a young woman. You should go to university though; give some thought to Utrecht, which teaches courses in English and is well respected.

It's a good thing that she's "useless" to the Russian invasion force in Ukraine, though. She's actually much more valuable doing other things than being fed to the meat grinder in Ukraine.

Hi again Natasha. There are so many fears, uncertainties. On the other hand, lots of things to look forward to. Try not to over think upcoming Choices you may have to make. You have lots of Friends, lots of Support. Thank you for this video.

Kiitos Natasha👍❤❤

[@andgainingspeed]

I hope the FOMO wins and we to see Natasha take a leap into another stage. Despite her anxiety, she plenty of potential and intelligent to navigate a variety of situations. That new situation could serve as a muse to level up the channel, or her life in general. Nice to have an outdoor backdrop for the Q&A. Autofocus on the camera did a good job as Natasha moved around the frame.

One day I think I will visit Georgia. Thanks in advanced for all your thoughts and perspective on this country. Thank you for sharing your viewpoint!
