Natasha, simple question: why don't you ask them to donate to the victims of Ukraine which your country's hate is responsible for❓

[@hapokas882]

@@sandscorcher3332 Natasha is not responsible for what her country's leaders do.

[@sandscorcher3332]

​​@@hapokas882That's what I thought at first, but Natasha revealed in a video that she's "comfortable" with the oppression of speech in Russia... unbelievable! That's the moment I turned against her because exactly people like her are responsible for what's going on in Russia! Slava Ukraine! God bless democracy!

[@geraintevans8596]

@@natasha-rostova why should Donte to you with Putin in charge of Russia, the poor Ukraine people are suffering because of him the people in Russia have been brainwashed and don’t know the truth. Human lives have been lost every day 1000 on Russia side and 800 in Ukraine side with children been killed also sorry Natasha but that is the facts I am afraid. You may not like my comments that’s it.

You may well put that question to the Russian pilots and rocket operators who fired rockets at Ukrainian power stations in 2022, 2023, 2024 , hoping to destroy the electric grid here in Ukraine and freeze millions of people. And residential buildings were targeted by the Russians, as well.

Happy New Year Natasha. I have no idea how or why KZbin brought your channel my way ( a western man living in Edinburgh, Scotland) but I'm glad that it did. I always look for the good in people and my travels across the world have shown me that there is kindness and compassion and friendly people in all countries, despite what the media and politician's might have us believe.

Merry Christmas and have a happy new year and your hair looks very beautiful in that colour

[@Badtaste21]

Having people criticize you or even hate you means you've become relevant enough to attract them. ;) Also, there's a Latin quote that always fits, it goes "Condemnant quo non intellegunt." which means "They condemn what they don't understand." It's universal, I think. Don't listen to them too much. Most people you wouldn't trust or ask for advice irl, so you shouldn't take their criticism too seriously either. But honestly, you seem like such a nice, gentle, and kind person that it's a shame you don't live right down the street from me. I could spoil you with cookies because I made way too many this year. haha Seriously, I ended up making two boxes of cookies because apparently the recipe was for 4 people and it literally said that, but I was in such a baking mood that it's enough for two winters now. xD

[@lhollybow]

Love Ginger on you. And you dress very classy and fashionable. Also your english is better than my grandparents after living in Canada for over 60 years.

[@MikeTrainormusic]

Your english is really good! I'm now 124 days straight learning Russian, and really enjoying it. It's not easy! lol but making it a long-term goal to speak it the best I can. I'm fascinated with Russia, the people, the history, the archetecture of the buildings; I wish I could live there, but aiming to visit someday. Cheers from Canada:)

Hello Natasha! Love your videos. Your English is excellent. Really, truly. Your ginger hair colour also looks very good on you. You are much more beautiful with the ginger hair than the clips from another episode which showed you with your natural colour. And, it's my favourite colour, so I suppose I am biased in my point of view. Wishing you Happy New Year too, whichever date you celebrate it.

Natasha, your blog is of good quality, keep them coming. What city do you live in? Your hair color doesn’t matter to me but it is better than black. Your English is good, very understandable. I plan to move to Sochi, Russia in about three months and it would be nice to run into you. I really enjoyed your video.

[@hardclimate]

Your English is certainly good enough to carry on a conversation with any native English speaker. Yes, you have an accent but that does not prevent you from being understood. Watching English movies or tv would probably help and reading novels in English would help if you enjoyed the story - something like Jane Austin's 'Pride and Prejudice'.

Hello Natasha, you have a good looking for whatever you wear for the holidays, in my opinion. I think that your English is good enough to keep a conversation, so don't feel bad. In fact , I'm not a native English speaker my first language is Spanish but I often interact everyday with my co-workers at my workplace to get more speaking skills.

My dear Natasha, don't worry about your English. I understand everything say perfectly. And i even adore your accent.

[@magnushelin007]

Your English speaking skills are excellent, don't be so hard on yourself. Regarding reading there are several series of books aimed at language learners from absolute beginners to more advanced levels. Sometimes they are simplified versions of original books and sometimes they are written from scratch. I have some of them in different, foreign languages. Another trick is to start reading non-fiction books such as history since the language in such books can be less challenging. You could try to find books on English history, for example.

[@robfalgiano]

Thanks Natasha. It sounds like maybe the government has slowed KZbin down. Maybe that’s so it’s easier for them to monitor content they don’t like. Not sure. Obviously we can still see your videos. I like getting a view of your every day life there. That’s one of the amazing things about KZbin is its global reach. Also, I think your English is extremely good.

[@donchu]

This looks very serene. I guess it can't be far from the tanker spill(s)? Ecologically how is the area doing? Economically, how will the spills affect the area if the beaches and wildlife are needed to be cleared up? Are they being cleared up? Is this area very dependent on tourism. Culturally the area looks/feels/seems very different from areas of Russia (is it technically, religiously different? The lamb good. Good video, many thanks.

[@bganonimouse2754]

Isn't it Grandfather Frost? We have the same in Serbia Deda Mraz! I have quite a few books, but I work too much to be able to read them. But its great that you have so many interests and that you are so multi dimensional: I feel like your parents must be very good to allow that you have such a balanced personality.

[@keithbessant]

Interesting video, Natasha. Thank you for deleting negative comments directed at your supporters. Your English is fine, I'm sure we can all understand you. English is not a very regular or logical language. Our spellings aren't phonetic. Partly this is because originally English, like Russian, wasn't meant to be spelled with the Roman alphabet. In our old Runic alphabet, there was one letter for K, not the three Roman ones we currently have, K, hard C and Q. Also, we had one letter for the hard TH, and one for the soft TH.

[@pablodelsegundo9502]

I like the red hair, but it could be cool to have a winter "look" in a darker color. Black hair could emphasize your pretty eye color, but on the other had, it could look very fake if you get the color too dark. I guess you could just go 100% goth-girl if it turned out too dark.

[@geraintevans8596]

One of your videos you were showing around your flat, it’s a good price but it’s very small but most flats are like that in Russia. I live in a 3 bedroom town house the cost is £360, 000 which I own, it’s better own a property than rent , because houses here go up every year approximately 7% to 9 % a year so a good investment . I also have house in Philippines which me and my wife go during the winter months which cost approximately £90,000 . Service charges are very expensive in UK £300 a month. Internet £55 a month. Electric & Gas £135 a month. House insurance in cases of damage or theft £11 a month. This just an example of what it costs in UK. God bless and hope you had a good Christmas and a hoppy new year. Especially with all these unnecessary wars going on in the world. Geraint X

Enjoyed your video. Like my friend I'm sure you appreciate help at times with this rather difficult language.🎉 At 8:45 you say, "I think my speaking skills isn't enough good."

Well done Natasha, and don't be so concerned about your English language skills. They are perfectly alright as they are. It's good that you have retained your Russian accents also as so often 2nd language students will pick up American accents & colloquialisms, obviously inherited from their American tutors. I don't think I have seen you with any other hair colour than the one you are wearing right now. That looks stunning on you. Anyway, Xmas has gone but I'll still wish you all the very best for a successful & prosperous new year ahead. Keep smiling.. xx (Oh, watching from New Zealand)

@TcSearch the problem with people like you is that you don't know anything and just repeat what the western propaganda wants you to believe. There's more democracy in Russia than in the collective West, that's a fact! For instance: while in western countries russian news media are banned, russians are free to read any western news (Facebook has widely clearly showed that only a restricted range of points of view is allowed on the platform, so it's not so bad that russian citizens are prevented from wasting their time on it). I live in Italy and Germany, I've travelled and I know the USA and Russia fairly well; I've been in Moscow even recently. It gets a bit on my nerves when I read comments like yours, so, please, be kind and don't talk about something you haven't directly experienced, thus showing off your ignorance and arrogance!

Your government is developing a new internet that can completely isolate Russia from the outside world. They did some testing on it in Dagestan, Chechnya, and Ingushetia on December 7. The testing was picked up by international internet monitors.
