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?

Congratulations on your paper and finishing your degree! Another milestone in your life! I am glad you are able to visit your area safely and say your present goodbyes so that you can move on to a new life elsewhere, with no regrets. Adulting is hard enough. Having to make the choice to leave your home and country because it has nothing to offer to you is heartbreaking. But there is definitely something better out in the world for you and your creative talent. Stay positive, stay safe, be well!!

"Do we find democracy? Not really. But, there's always hope." Since there are people like you, there is hope.🇸🇰❤🇺🇦

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.

I really like these down-to-earth, slice of life videos. Best of luck with your graduation and departure! I root for you and hope you find a good place to stay and keep on studying :)

*_"So, in retrospect, I realized there is always hope."_* --- Natasha 😍

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.

Thank you Miss Natasha. You have a wonderful gift of beauty, love, and down home honesty. You are a real star..nothing fake, and that's why I so enjoy your videos.

Good luck girl ! I'm myself from a a poor ex-soviet country , Moldova . And I had the courage to leave that shithole , and now I'm living in Italy for 12 years already with no intention to ever go back ! The first year might seem hard , but once you get over it , it'll be worth , trust me !

I'm an older man that lives in New York City and I've been following your channel for about 6 months. Let me just say how much I admire your bravery, positivity and your overall joy for life. I wish you the best in your upcoming adventures and look forward to checking in on you to see how well you are doing. Take care and STAY strong.

Natasha , I wish you the best of luck in finding your next destination in life! Your courage is inspiring and I love your dark humor. As an American who is deeply worried that we are losing our grasp on democracy you give me a little comfort in knowing that there are still good honest people everywhere in the world. I will keep you and Adina in my thoughts and prayers.

Never commented here before but I just wanted to say that you are amazing and please never change! I find what you do both entertaining and educational ( and very brave considering everything) I wish you much success and happiness wherever you may travel and just thank you.

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.

1. Love the dedication to finding the old tram, was not disappointed either. That is one old tram, I’d say my prayers riding on that. 2. Love the new look and your more minimalistic lifestyle, it will suite you well for the future. Best of luck with the future and where ever it may lead you.

Natasha. Im so impressed by you! You seem so open minded, intellectual, aware, critical. Good at listening, good at talking. A sound understanding of ethics and more civil courage than most. Just a great person! Im so happy to hear that you have plans to travel to other countries and keep exploring the world. Hope to see many more of your vlogs, wherever you go. Keep doing what you do!

There are times in all of our lives where we must make big decisions that we must face with courage and determination. It sounds as if you are doing just that. Best of luck to you, Natasha and thank you for continuing to share your story.

I dont think she realizes how important of a role she plays in the way people think of russians atleast for the many who watch her. Everyday i feel anger at russians she reminds me its the government not the people, none of us should hate russian people. Thank you for reminding me this every time i watch

Natasha, I just love your videos. There is a calm, artistic feeling in the way you tell your stories and film your journey. Your intelligence, your curiosity, and your genuine nature come through so strong in these videos that I find myself swept away into a unique feeling. I can't quite put my finger on the exact reason your videos have a sort of mesmerizing feel, but they have a striking similarity to wonderful works of art.

i appreciate all your videos, your thoughts on current events, and your courage. thank you, natasha and pigeon!

Congratulations and the best of luck with your move! Thank you for sharing a bit of your life. I’m amazed by and appreciate your candor and honesty. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating: what you do is important and casts a positive light on the people around!

Natasha's Adventures - now with 100% more pigeon! "Congratulations, we found the Soviet tram. And pants. Did we find democracy? Not really. But there's always hope." Love your sense of humor. 🤣 Wherever you go, they'll be lucky to have you.

Hi, Natasha! Watching you from Ukraine. Thank you for not being indifferent. Good luck! Береги себя ;)

Bottom line - your videos are SO good. They have everything, a look at your life, life in Russia, social commentary very well done, and finally - HUMOR - you are really funny in your way - AND THE WAIT FOR THE TRAM WAS WORTH IT! LOL!!! I think you should call your channel 'Yeah Natasha'.

It feels great to watch such honest, fresh and close-to-life videos! Thanks Natasha!

"You may be whatever you resolve to be." "Be the change you want to see in the world." Two quotes that I live by. I hope they resonate with you. I truly appreciate your vlog. Thank you.

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. As long as you stay healthy and keep in touch with the ones you love, there’s always another opportunity to bounce back. Like you said, you just have to keep trying

It's always so pleasant to see your vlogs no matter where you happen to be, Natasha. It's wonderful getting to know you, no matter who much you get from any of us, it still bridges some gaps between us, and that really is the important part. Very best wishes.

Thank you so much for being direct about what most KZfaqrs in your country call "the situation". Your intelligence shines through your commentary and visual gags. You have a bright future and I cross my fingers for your making a good start

Natasha, I could really feel the sadness coming from the desire to want to leave your town and leave your country. But your mood has changed in this video and you are embracing your future with a renewed hope. I feel that the universe will reward your actions and don’t listen to any negative criticism of your courageous decision. It is the start of a new adventure for you and I wish you so well. Best wishes from Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

The Soviet tram was so cool and spooky! It feels like one of those horror stories where you would get on it and it would drive you the afterlife or something. TY for trying so hard to find it to show us! And congratulations on your thesis! I hope you can make any edit fast and you get to graduate soon. I thought your video was very nice. Even in times of negativity and war it's always good to at least find some positivity. Being able to say goodbye is also important. It was nice to see the town as well. And try not to focus on the creeps on the internet. They are everywhere unfortunately. Best to not give them any of your time. It's best spent on other things.

Truly enjoy your videos and you sharing your life with us. I’m excited to see where you land as you start a new chapter in your life.

Loved the adventure! Hope all goes well for you and thanks for your beautiful insights.

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! Bob

I have been watching your videos for a very long time now and enjoy them tremendously. In fact many of the people I ride with (bicycles) are also watching you. Even though we are a world away, here in southern California, we worry about you. You make us happy and give us hope finishing up your degree with eyes on the future. We hope it all works out as you wish. Stay strong and don't give up. Wish we could help.

Have the best luck on your process of changing your life! This was a sweet goodbye to your city. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love you 💗

Thanks Natasha. I needed to hear your message of lifting your eyes and look to a hopeful future.

Natasha, congratulations on you almost getting your degree. I loved this video! You share all your feelings and struggles, and that is very special!! I loved everything you showed us while you were walking around!! I like your new pants and shoes. Take care of yourself, see you soon!!

We love your authenticity Natasha! Thank you for sharing your interesting life with us.

God Bless you Natasha. Good luck with your new life. I know your feelings about finishing a hard task and then feeling anxious about things that were sitting at the back of my head instead of happy about the success. Your videos are a therapy for me as well...it is a relief to realize am not alone feeling these things. Thank you :)

I loved this video. Thank you so much for all your waiting for that tram. I was so excited when I saw it

The contrast between the LED-displayed coffee machine and the university looking like the paint job was last done in 1930 really tells you what teachers and students prioritise.

Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse of your interesting city! I remember being your age and standing on the precipice of many significant life changes. It can be an exciting but still unsettling time, especially in light of all that you see going on in your country and in the 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. Congratulations on finishing your thesis and starting the next chapter of your life!🍾🥳

Thanks for the great video Natasha and for your positivity. Your videos are really relaxing the way you guide us through your city. I really needed a break from a stressful day and this really helped.

Stay well. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

My deepest respect to you for being so brave.

I'm from the midwest of the US. I so appreciate your take on Russia, the life you live there, the sights, and the political climate. My heart breaks for Ukraine AND the people of Russia who have been so negatively affected by the war. Thank you for showing us your life and experiences!

Natasha, I love your authenticity and your videos. Good things are coming your way. Stay positive, and congratulations on finishing your thesis!

Those days that you actually want to stay home, then decide to go anyway , and then having a great day! That is a feeling that makes me happy. Thanks for sharing your days in Khabarovsk!

Best of luck Natasha and thank you for sharing your perspective. Looking forward to your next video and safe travels!

Natasha, I just want to say I (and im sure many others watching) believe in you. We believe you will get your degree, we believe you will move where you want to go, we believe your channel will grow, and we believe in your success and happiness. As a foreigner, I may not exactly understand of consequences of your dissidence, but every video I see where you reject and resist what the russian government is doing, to me its very brave and admirable. And one other thing, I love how you find peace/ happiness in the little things despite the over all negativity in the world. How you were so happy to look at the old tram, to spend some time at the beach and how your were so amazed the river looked like an ocean in may, and how that guy waved at you. You are such a good example in many ways.

I like your spirit and optimism, Natasha. Stay safe and keep reaching for the stars!

Happy Birthday Natasha. A new year begins.

I found your mission to find a soviet tram very uplifting! Good luck with your future plans after university.

My great grandfather fled Russia in 1918 after the Bolsheviks took over. After spending 25 years in China, he moved to Australia with his wife and daughter, my grandmother. I went to Russia in 2015 and Ukraine in 2020, and it breaks my heart to see the hope I had for both countries evaporate from one man's delusional aggression. I look at my life in Australia then compare it to what Russia is today and what I saw in 2015. From that I know my great grandfather made the right decision to move when he did and I know your life will be better for moving elsewhere too Natasha. Удачи вам!

You’re so sweet. Thanks to show your place with such a realistic and humble approach. You’re a pure and genuine. A great film maker…

I remember fondly my final days of college in Los Angeles before heading back east to New York. Enjoy your time there and make your final memories good ones! This way in years to come thinking about these days will always put a smile on your face.

Thanks Natasha! You always keep my attention for every second of your content. Nuanced, down to earth, well thought out and well presented. You know how to insert profound and important bits into more trivial but no less interesting content. I am glad you are having that well deserved success as a creator.

Just remember not everything has to happen at once or in a particular order. Enjoy your accomplishments and free your mind and things will come to you. I absolutely love your bus story, and how they have to earn your patronage. Way to go Natasha!👏👏👏

You brighten my day. Keep on keeping on, girl.

Brava Natasha! Stay safe stay strong! Keep going as you are!

Congratulations on finishing your thesis!!! I know the struggle. Spent 5 years completing mine due to mental health issues. Take care of yourself, be kind to those around you and good luck. You'll always be welcome in Norway if you manage to get here.

You make me dream of a democratic, peaceful, loving, safe Russia where tourists are welcomed and can travel to explore all its natural and cultural assets.

The tram was awesome ❤️ Thanks for going back so many times to finally show it to us!!

I'm most excited to see the next phase of your journey.

Looking forward to seeing where life takes you on the next part of your journey. All the best x

Natasha: Your videos are full of hope. I'm excited for you to begin the next chapter in your life!

I am happy you have made a plan and even though it will be scary, you know enough to follow through. Life is an adventure. Live it to the fullest.

Wonderful to hear that you have come so far. Enjoyed the VLOG, with you and Regina going through town. We all wish you well as you go to the next step in your life. Love the pants and sneakers, and especially the tram.

Good luck on the finishing of your thesis! When it is all said and done Natasha, May you know only happiness, peace, freedom, and love always.

I like that your pigeon is the humble co-star of your vlogs. In many countries they are regarded as 'flying rats', so it is nice that you restore some balance, and promote a more sympathetic, symbiotic relationship.

Always looking forward for your new video. It open me up to understand part of the world that different than where I am living right now. Thank You.

Great video and glad to hear that you are doing well Natasha... Concentrate on the positive... That's always the best way to go and there is plenty of positivity. Cheers for now and we'll be looking forward to your next video.

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.

So nice to see you Natasha ! Congrats on finishing up your degree ! Good luck for you… and for us all.

Good luck, Natasha. We are all with you.

Best to you always Natasha!

Loved the update. Hearing about your perspectives and world view as a person who has lived very different experiences than my own is very refreshing and interesting, and I love your sense of humor and personality as well. Good luck with everything!

Hang in there Natasha, it's almost over! You have so much to be proud of. Thank you for your inspirational messages about friendship and equality. I am looking forward to your first video from abroad!

I appreciate your realism, how you sort of think out loud about alternate perspectives on things, and how you look at yourself, etc. It feels balanced. Your dry sense of humor cracks me up - I love it (e.g., when you were talking in the mirror in your flat).

EXCELLENT , NATASHA !! KEEP PUBLISHING ! YOUR CONTEN IS VERY T INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING !

Wow. It’s amazing how relatable human experiences are, regardless where you are. Everyone should aspire to have your level of self actualization

I love all your videos, your personality, your worderful sense of humor and your way to seeing life, everything is perfect. Congratulations on your paper and finishing your degree! You're a great person, never change.

It is amazing how you always manage to make my darkest days turn bright.

May I say that I find Your "adventures" wholesome and down to earth! 😶 ..Stay safe....peace out!!

So happy to watch you again! Congratulations on your thesis being done!

Enjoyed the walk and sites - glad to see your plans working out. Hope to see you a few more times in June.

such dry humor is a welcome respite to my day... good job Natasha!

Lovely to see you again, things keep people get worries so your idea of having minimalist lifestyle is absolutely perfect, when you venture out of your comfort zone be wise enough to those people you meet, only few can be trusted 💪

By the way, every time I worry about your emotional state, you prove to us that you still have a plan and are thinking clearly. I think you are doing just fine, and if you like the pants, so do we I'm sure.

I am from Mexico. I watch your videos because, as many people have said so, I like the down-to-earth perspective you show us in them. The videos are relaxing, and your perspective is interesting to hear and see! I really mean the last part, I enjoy the framing you show on camera, and how you suddenly focus the camera's attention on certain objects, like the cap for example.

Glad to see you on the up beat and to find out you finished your schooling. You have a great adventure laying ahead. Have fun and stay positive.

"By fighting for love and acceptance, WE'RE making the whole world a better place." Beautiful and precise. Never let anyone dim that spark Natasha and always remember those sparks shine brightest in the dark. They both may sound a bit cliche.....but that doesn't make them any less true or any less important. Love and Hope from Coastal North Carolina.

It's great that you keep showing us your videos. Congratulations on finishing your thesis. Your search for the old and somewhat elusive tram was in a way metaphoric and haunting. You are about to embark on a major new chapter in your life, and I'm sending you my best wishes.

Your ability to seek and recognize truth, maintain a healthy level of cynicism, empathy, retrospection, gratitude, and seeing beauty in the world around you demonstrate extraordinary wisdom. As someone that often concentrates on negative things, I've been doing my best to balance negative thoughts and opinions with positive ones. I'm so thankful I found your channel! I love your pigeon's guest appearances and your glasses make me smile. :) I think the new pants and shoes look really cool!

Your editing and style just keep getting better, the nuance is what keeps me coming back. That, and your ability to find better perspectives on things than most people. I like the messages of togetherness you spread. That tram looked like something out of the Dr. Who universe, well worth waiting until the end for. Great video as always!

BE safe. Started watching your channel when I thought I was going to ride through that area. now watching you leave, so sad, but great for you. Trust me, it will be fine! Looking forward to see where you end up and along the way...

Great commentary. Thanks for posting. Stay safe

We support you! Your journey is unique to yourself….just stay happy and don’t ever give up

Thank you for your videos, Natasha! They give me hope that I so badly need right now.

I just found your videos - and I adore you. This may be one of my favorites. You were outstanding in that interview/conversation with Niki, too. That’s actually how I found you. You give me hope for your generation, both in Russia and the world. And you give me hope for YOU and your own future. God bless and protect you, always 💙💙
