  • I almost finished my paper and finally had some time to relax and enjoy my last days in Khabarovsk. In this video I will show you my university, city center and remote districts. The month was highlighted by two wonderful findings: new cool pants and a Soviet tram that is very whimsically illuminated from the inside. I hope you like this video!

    As a grandfather of a girl near your age, I marvel at your maturity and wisdom. My grandaughter grew up in freedom and has no concept of what others must endure. And as much as I admire your character, it is sad that you can't be a carefree young woman for at least a little while. I'll also add that whatever country you choose will be fortunate to have you.

    Love the deadpan sarcasm. Humour is universal. I love watching videos like this where you can experience life somewhere else, see people you didn't know existed and see what someone elses experiences have been. Sometimes I'll be stuck in traffic on a motorway, looking ahead at all the thousands of cars, each representing a different life, and wonder what those lives are like. What experiences have they had and where are they going?

    That lighting in the Soviet trolley was low pressure mercury vapor incandescent lighting. It was standard in the USA from the early 1960's and into the mid 1980's. It was used in skyscrapers and gave them the same greenish appearance. At night it set the color of the cityscape of glass skyscrapers when viewed from afar. In the US that lighting is so fixed in a period of time that they bring back memories of the period and fixes a mood of nostalgia. But not really a nostalgia for good things, because living under those lights gave a gloomy feeling. The emission spectrum of those lights did not match well with the human eye. At night in a room with those lights, you always felt that something was off with the scenery of the room.

    I love the old trams. It's really cool to see things from another time. The mood of them lit up at night and the noises they make when the doors open and when they roll down the tracks so slowly. For me this is as if I were in a time machine and was transported back. I love this feeling. Thanks for sharing it.

    Another great video! I think I love these vlogs because they’re very much time pieces about coming of age. I was just there myself a few years ago, so all I can say it’ll all work out. The hardest part for me was feeling depressed because I didn’t have a clear vision of the future. Eventually, I made a decision to follow a certain career. I realized that even if you make the wrong decision, by being decisive you’ll figure out what was the right decision faster.

    And one other thing, I love how you find peace/ happiness in the little things despite the over all negativity in the world.

Try to remember that while you are Russian, you also are just a singular person and as such you are not responsible for what your nation is collectively choosing to do. Despite the suffering in the world you have a right to happiness. Be proud of who you are and of all that you have learned and achieved. You’ve made many sacrifices but these sacrifices are moving you toward a bright future. It’s springtime and like the Cherry trees, this is your opportunity to bloom, grow and bear the fruit of a happy and productive life.

      It seems, at least to me, that this girl is very naive about Russia, democracy and stuff. So, leaving the home, which is usually a sad thing, may open the eyes for her. Nevertheless, I hope that she will be fine and will find her place in the world.

      Did you actually bother to watch the video or are you just abusing her for your self-glorification as her white knight? If you had bothered to pay any attention to her, you would have noticed that she mentioned the war herself. How about you stop pretending you get to speak for her while giving a f*** about what's on her mind?

    Natasha, thank you for showing us every day things. When I watch your videos, I am always struck by how similar common people are everywhere. Misery doesn't come from the people, but always from greedy politicians seeking their own power.
    Democracy is very wonderful, but as the US shows, it can be subverted by a powerful minority. I am very worried about America. There are all these people who seem to have lost their ability to think rationally. Maybe that is true in Russia as well.
    Keep up the good work and good luck on your adventure!

    Thank you for your content Natasha! Your channel is so interesting to me as I was born in Russia and lived there until my family moved to another country. Your videos remind me of my childhood and give me back memories. What the cities and the countryside look like, your interactions with other Russians, who are often rude, how you think, your humor and the whole melancholy vibe is for me an exact depiction what Russia is. At least, in my memories.
    Having lived outside of Russia for almost 20 years I can only say you stay a Russian forever. Deeply in your roots you understand the mentality of Russians better than of those people who surround you. So, thank you for reconnecting me again with my russian-ness. I feel you.
    In my opinion, ex-russians who speak English are one (but not all) perfect target audience for your content. Good thing the youtube algorithm figured it out for me 😊
    Thank you for your channel and keep strong!
    I hope you will be able to carry out your plans of moving as soon as possible.

    The Soviet tram reminds me of moving to San Francisco from Southern California in the 1970s. I rode streetcars that they had bought from Los Angeles in the 1950s because Los Angeles could not maintain them because they were too old. The interior lights had old time incandescent little bulbs like old sedans. The lenses were yellow with time. The streetcars were art deco streamlined with one headlight and one tail light. The hardware was 1930s & 40s vintage. They were fun to ride. It was like riding an antique. Unfortunately some of them leaked rainwater. You are lucky to have been born into a great civilization that has outmoded artifacts that are nevertheless advanced. I wish you the best. Пока-пока.
