      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.

      Agree 100% with the positive comments. Natasha's films show or have shown parts of Russia and now Georgia to an audience who would otherwise never see these places or hear about the food, the beautiful buildings and the ugly buildings, the culture, history, etc. We could read some of this in books but Natasha gives the stories a life they might not have as print on a page. Good to see her in the sun, hopefully absorbing as much Vitamin D as possible. This channel is one of the best on YT.

    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. The parents of one of my history teachers in high school were from 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.

      @@suportbghelp4938 yet we existed before Jesus, and this is not a narcissistic comment, but a fact often ignored. She mentions so briefly that there might have been wars here because we have so many fortresses🙄 girl are you for real? this country has been fighting for its existence since it was created.. like as you are staying here for so long, why don't you have a little look at the history of this country that provided you with a shelter and permitted you with a residence.
      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. Your people brought terror to us, why not be humble and little ashamed what you have done to us. Yet we permit you to be free and enjoy what you're doing. and Yes, don't sing any Russian songs in our cafes and restaurants, we don't want to hear that language. I have Russian friends, who unlike you are respectful,.

    Your story about the georgian doctor speaking to you in russian reminded me that, I've had my shoulder relocated in france 3 times, and each time the medical staff wanted to talk to me in english, even though I was capable of conversing in french (albeit not as good as their english). The french are often known to hate speaking english in their own country, but if you just make some effort to charm them, it's amazing how much english they know. People are people at the end of the day. We all have a lot more in common than some would like to admit.

    I imagine being a political exile must be very, very difficult, particularly given the barriers in the West against Russian people. I'm sure I would feel very lonely, depressed, and useless as a person. Very, very few of us are true rolling stones, content to live without roots and connections. I do hope that eventually you will find a home for yourself in a country you can come to truly love and grow roots. I am very, very privileged to live a safe and happy life as a Canadian, and I wish the same for you. Your videos are wonderfully honest and authentic, and I enjoy watching them.

    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.

      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.

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.

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 CZcams 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.

    I have said it once and I will say it a thousand times more, I love when you say "pakka - pakka" at the end of your videos! When I was your age I always felt such pressure that I was wasting my time, and that I needed to hurry up and do something, yet I didnt know what I was supposed to do. Dont worry, I think all young people feel this way. I had a friend from college (here in US) who moved to Moscow years ago and works for a bank translating documents from english to russian. I think you will always be able to make a living as a translator. Your understanding of languages is impressive. Pakka-pakka!

    The part about you not understanding business etc. is interesting. I am older. I look at people now when I hear that I think ‘confusion is a choice.’ Your ‘confusion’ is your inability to focus on something that doesn’t interest you. That is natural. Why say ‘confused’? Then you are disrespecting your own intelligence. You clearly can do what catches your attention. Go with that. That is your mind-body reaction to trying something that is not a fit. The stress of ‘confusion.’ Don’t cultivate a neurotic self viewpoint. You are a high-feeling person. That is a wonderful quality and much needed in this world. It is NOT Marketing and Finance. Sooner you can learn to listen to yourself and not judge, the farther you can go. And DO listen to the fomo. Life is short and so is youth and health. Heed that call. But be who you are.

      She demonstrated in support of the Khabarovsk Oblast's politician dismissed by Putin well before 2022-Feb-24.

    Natasha, i don't think that the process to ask for political asylum is the one that You have in mind. You don't have to hit rock bottom or to enter on a rubber boat, or things like that... It is actually enough for a person to not be able to live in their home Country, due to a real risk of death and political persecution. And your situation is actually, exactly this one: You cannot go back to your homeland, because You would be 100% sure persecuted and probably killed. So You are absolutely entitled to ask for political asylum...You just need to decide what Country to apply to.
