Джилл - красавица! Как бы я хотел, чтобы в России было больше журналистов, которые рассказывали бы русским об Америке с таким же уважением, знанием истории и культуры, как она рассказывает американцам о России. Спасибо! Удачи Вам! I wish there were more Russian journalists who’d tell Russians about the US with the same love, respect, knowledge of culture and history as she tells Americans about Russia. Many thanks to Jill! May power be with her!

This woman is like the best case scenario of aging.

And I am hooked in Russia too! Bought history books about Russia during the war. And books during Putin’s reign. So in love with россия! 🇷🇺

Such a strong personality. When I see people like her I believe in humanity.

Her Russian is really good! I havn't ever heard such good Russian from English native people.

when she said some words in Russian, I swear she did that without accent. I am impressed. very nice.

This woman is amazing, and I wish I see more of her on CNN

Well, I don't know what happened since and how you feel about Russia today (I don't mean RT), it's been a lot of water under the bridge... So many years working for the white house, so many years working for the CIA (the voice of America is part of it) and so many years working for Hillary Clinton may not be the easiest path to understanding Russia and the Russians but I hope you made the right choice and had things your way. Most of all I hope you can translate this experience into something that brings people together instead of pouring extra oil on the flame, we've been there before. It's easier to look at the differences than focus on what human beings have in common. Now a simple way to know what's best for humanity and each one of us is to remember those graves in St. Petersburg and ask yourself this question : why did it happen, could it happen elsewhere, could it happen again, could it be worse and what can I do to avoid it? I think the key to it is to get to know each other and understand each other. As Plato famously said : ignorance is the root and stem of all evil.

An alright talk......but, the speech did not match the title "Why I'm hooked on Russia." I heard all about the things she did in the past YET no explication as to WHAT about Russia "hooks" her or the WHY behind it. If this were better labeled, it would be pretty good.

What a wonderful video and what a beautiful person!

Blessings to you, Jill, on your neXt adventure!! *smiles*

Strength & Peace to the people of Beslan. God Bless!

Oh, I remember her in the Voice of America in that program for night owls being a kid.

What a lovely lady

Thank you, Jill 🙏🙏🙏

What a fascinating woman! I hope to meet her one day.

Very good pronunciation indeed!

Great speech,Thank you

So what she’s saying is that doing Russian news would be risking her life and see if she survives? The talk just promotes the idea that Russia is wild, dangerous, and distant which is not true for a lot of its territory.

What a Beautifull and Inspirating Woman! It was a great experience to hear this public speech!

Why is this video being downvoted? It was pretty good.

Джилл, счастья тебе и здоровья. Greetings from Russia :)

Let me stop talking about me for a bit - now tell me what you think of me.

Good talk.

Great, brilliant words. He speaks about russians so true as much of russians cant, Thank a lot!!

Sputnik was launched in 1957. The president at that time, who headed the government which gave money to study critical languages, was Eisenhower. Oh, well. The speaker isn't haunted by a demand for precision.

Interesting to listen when you understand both languages - Russian & English ^) // Интересно слушать когда понимаешь оба языка :)

No microphones in Bethesda ? Can hear her, but the sound is off

Impressive

16:17 was it Georgian??

There is something in her face mimics, hand gestures and the way she glances, that if I watched it without a sound I would thought she is Russian.

she is adorable.

Thank you from Mother Russia!!!

It's very cheering up that such people exist now in the world. People who feel like they're Russians, understand and appreciate culture and are interested in country in general. This case is remarkable, Jill felt interest about Russia in quite "abnormal" time during the fight between the Us and the USSR.

Not trying to be a jerk... But, did she have a point? I mean she talked about how great she is for 20 minutes. But, any narcissist or sociopath can do that... So, seriously, can somebody tell me what the point of this was?

Итак, это был далёкий 2014-ый год. Что сталос её челенджем? С тех пор много воды утекло...

nice lady

She has accent in Russian. Amazing!

Весёлая бабуля.

lol I've been to Scranton pa, there is university

Good speech but sound is terrible.

Вот даже интересно - из той кучи американцев. которые сейчас понаехали в Россию якобы для изучения языка и ознакомления с культурой, сколько в процентах в той или иной мере состоят на службе в американских госорганах? Чойта мне кажется процентов 95.

Jill Dougherty is not horrible name. (11:20) In russian exactly not. Сontrary - it sounds very nace. Добра Вам, Джилл.

Красивая тётенька.

I thought it was Billy Bob Thornton and then she said she felt like a person in another body... Well... no disrespect intended.

Hello from Moscow ❤️

u are very beautiful and smart, and spiritually wise lady because did not want to be involved in CNN fake-news, and thanks for having good feeling about russian people, though be aware - not everyone having russian mother tong is a true russian ( has true russian soul)

Sorry. But the first satellite in the USSR was launched into space on October 4, 1957. And this was the first artificial satellite of the earth. It was called Sputnik-1

This woman is biased by her own western lenses.

Почему нет русских субтитров?

Спасибо, Вам большое. Было очень интересно послушать Ваши воспоминания о России. Всего Вам самого наилучшего!!!

I don't know what it is, but this speech put me off. Probably it was the lack of empathy and understanding, although at the beginning she seemed like a very educated person.

Tots and pears with our Ukrainian friends ☺

20 минут ниочём. Дифирамбы самой себе.

Jill, have you considered past lives playing a part in that interest/life work? Russians have an interesting and distinct soul, but you are in tune with it for some reason. Theta healings will show you why

highly likely, did the masters on how to kill the bear, showed perfect Russian language skills and gave nearly zero information on the topic.

It's like listening to nazys who stopped being nazys talking about jews. But the thing is there is no such thing as ex-nazy.

She looks like Elon Musk’s mom

The most boring TED speach for me 😴😴😴

Человек который работал на госдепартамент рассуждает о русских шпионках? Сомневаюсь, что эта тетка имеет моральное право шутить о людях переживших блокаду.

пропагандонка

Наивные. Ну завоюем мы мир, а что дальше? Вот именно, нахрен нам мир сдался. Сами придут к нам, все. Ну не все, один хер, все вернутся к нам. Все и всё и даже больше.

Я нипонил. Эта раскладушка разваливала СССР?

И этой блокады и стольких смертей в Ленинграде не было бы, если б Сталин эвакуировал город. Но он оставил людей в заложниках, чтоб город имени Ленина не был захвачен. Так же и со Сталинградом - огромная часть жителей была оставлена в городе даже во время боёв, когда от зданий вообще ничего не осталось, кроме подвалов.

Sure, russians, especially the common folk, deserve pity for what happened in WW2. Far more russians died than anyone else, including jews. But if they had a good, industrialized farming system in place, as stalin promised, they wouldn't have starved. They could have brought in plenty of food from the east.
