Your travels across Russia especially in the far east have become a - Tour de force - videos explaining the culture, landscape, and peoples of the area. Most educational and very entertaining. I have always been interested in border areas that have a mix of cultures that have developed over time and that is certainly true of the Russian far east.

[@lesshiaman8952]

Natasha is a great vlogger most of the times, she is a brilliant filmologist. But just be careful calling it totally educational because she very subtly puts her own spin on everything steering you very gently into a certain way of seeing things, even though it is mostly "nutral".

Мнение таксиста похоже сложилось из того, кого он возит )) Очень приятный ролик, показали разное. И это хорошо. Могу сказать, что с 1995 года - город преобразился. Я помню парк Дора (тогда вроде ещё ДОСА), когда там даже днём не стоило рисковать ходить. А сейчас в каждом дворе практически современные детские площадки, асфальт, чистота, новые скверы. А производства, которые были и закрылись - их жаль, конечно. Что-то быстро умерло после развала СССР, что-то медленно. Это везде практически произошло. Но жизнь идёт и время течёт. И раз и в Спасске уже можно выпить варёный кофе хорошего качества, то значит что-то движется в полезном направлении! ))

When I watch this channel, I’m always amazed at how similar this part of Russia looks to my country of Serbia. And the fact that it’s thousands of kilometres away and borders China which is so different from our culture. The socialist apartment buildings, rusty playgrounds, benches with missing seats, old houses that haven’t been redone in decades…also the fact that we also use the Cyrillic alphabet

[@jeroen2218]

In my opinion, your videos from the far east stick out compared to the other ones. Simply because you are be able to tell stories based on experience. That's also the reason why a lot of people decided to subscribe, to hear stories from a country that is rather mysterious for a lot of us. Did you ever notice that the video that made your channel populair is the one showing an extreme stereotype about Russia. Living in cold depressive Siberia. That picture made the video appealing, and after clicking most found out what it was actually about. Anyways, I think we all had this city nearby that seemed a lot bigger in our younger years, in fact everything seems bigger in your younger years. Atleast I think it does? Time will tell. Russia will never feel less big though😂 based on what I know about it.

A interesting dive into history here Natasha and a good overview on the modern life. Your humour and straightforward explanations always come through well. The shame of it is the politiciahs will not change anything that really needs changing. However unlike in Russia at least we get to criticise ours without fear of arrest and possible prison. Just to wish you a happy christmas and to your family as well.🎄 Take care as always.

[@prieten49]

You are of course right about the different situations in Russia and the USA. However, there have been some very undemocratic developments in the USA too. Who can forget the full power of the state coming down on those protesters in Lafayette Square just so a certain person could pose with a Bible? Michael Cohen, the ex-attorney of that certain person, was released early from prison, but when he published a book criticizing that person, he was rearrested and thrown back in prison for "violating his probation." A Russian-like political climate can also be easily created here in the USA if we aren't careful.

And Natasha has become much more confident talking on camera, speaking perfect English. She is still as charming, and the subjects just as interesting.

Your camera work has improved immensely. The slow "pans" are great. They give the viewers time to absorb the content. I love your curiosity like when you explore areas like @12:30. NOBODY on KZbin does things like that. Keep doing those type of vignettes. And the clip about the "chair" @13:30 was just hilarious!! Your "dry" sense of humor and sarcastic wit are super. I love the piece about the guy who "looks like Putin, but he actually helps people". Loved that. But you be careful Natasha. We would hate to see you go to prison for your own version of satire. Prison is not a place for a young lady as beautiful as you. Please keep up your great work making these videos about life in the "Real Russia". 👍👍💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Наташа, ты в очередной раз сняла отличное видео о жизни в России, какой ТЫ ее видишь. Мне нравится ваш стиль изложения. Мы видим хорошее, плохое и уродливое с вашей собственной уникальной точки зрения. Ваша операторская работа значительно улучшилась. Медленные "кастрюли" великолепны. Они дают зрителям время, чтобы усвоить контент. Мне нравится твое любопытство, например, когда ты исследуешь такие области, как @12:30. НИКТО на KZbin не делает ничего подобного. Продолжайте делать такие виньетки. А клип про "стул" в 13:30 был просто уморительным!! Ваше "сухое" чувство юмора и саркастическое остроумие просто супер. Мне нравится статья о парне, который "похож на Путина, но на самом деле он помогает людям". Мне это нравилось. Но ты будь осторожна, Наташа.

What an interesting city! Perhaps their local leaders will manage to make it even better (MUGA!). But on a more serious note, I do really try to talk openly and often in my daily life here in the U.S., about oppressive governments and abusive bureaucrats (like we also have here, and in 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 countries of the world, unfortunately). The more of this corruption we -- the people -- tolerate, the more open and oppressive the abuse becomes. Here, this tipping point (of no return) has not yet occurred, thankfully, which is why we are fighting hard to maintain our precious democratic freedoms. Once freedom is lost, it is 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 hard to recover. Many millions of Americans are in deep denial on this topic, and do not wish to even consider the grave danger we are in.

Did I literally just see her nose dive off the playgroud @10:50? "I love this rustic playground...", then cuts away as she's mid-air falling down. I'm dying laughing. Absolutely love your videos. I hope the situation with Russia changes someday so we can all visit this place too! Stay safe, and greetings from the US.

I loved the video. The city was ok. Like some cities I've visited here in Canada. Your presentation was great! Very enjoyable. Thank you for telling me about those video makers arrested by police. It makes me sick that someone can be arrested & possibly jailed for making a video. Please be careful, Natasha. 🙂 We care about you. ❤

[@binaryboyo9674]

Yes we do worry about you Natasha! Take care, stay safe & keep well! ....... 🙂 ✌️ ❤️

Thanks again Natasha!)

Thank you for the tour, your videos are very informative. I am glad that you were not killed by the boom on the street! I learn a lot about life in Russia by looking at your videos. I am still working on the alphabet. It will take me a long time to pronounce some of your words. I missed the word "Baba Yaga" . I will be checking it out to learn more about it. By the way, I hope those guys that insulted the government just have a fine and are free soon...

I love your channel! Through you I get to see places in Russia I've only seen on maps and I love it

I was found on the streets in Vladivostok, born in Usseryiisk, so I found this video to be very interesting. Thank you! I also want to add that I love your humor.

I don't know why, but I was surprised to hear that "rose tinted glasses" is also a Russian phrase. Ussuriysk has beautiful buildings and some run-down areas, just like everywhere.

[@gonzachambi3937]

Really beautiful place! Nice one to spend some time. Definetely love the way you communicate every detail, how you talk of every place. Love so much your channel!

[@LarryKapp1]

That was funny satire where they hung up the air fresheners on street poles to get rid of the awful smell ! Ha ha . It was nice that you found some buildings and museums that did not have the paint peeling off the walls. Interesting history of that area . It is always fun when you explore the other parts of town too . Great video as always !

[@rickbarrington]

Beautifully crafted video. Especially appreciate the 4K clarity. Crystal clear. Colors pop. 👍 Keep up the greet posts!
