Hi Ksenia, I really enjoy regular topics like cooking (YES- I am one who loves such videos!), home tour because I would love to see how your apartment is decorated or arranged now, shopping, parks, everyday life. Maybe another tour of your family's garden? Typical fashion in Russia? I also like videos on topics like the tax structure that you made once. If you ever go out to nature and countryside that would be nice to see (and enjoyable for you). Or you could talk about your meditation or other hobbies. You do not need a fancy or particularly sophisticated subject. So glad to see you today. Pretty flowers on your table. Hugs from Kansas USA 💗
So HAPPY to see you again!! I love your cooking videos too and the ones that you show of the different stores nearby. The grocery stores are especially fun! 🛒 Now that everything is blooming in St. Petersburg, it would be nice if you could take us on one of your awesome walks outside. You could show us the flowers that are blooming, the tree's that are sprouting new leaves, the ponds, the birds, etc. ~ 🤗 Also.. it's ALWAYS so much fun when you show us the historical buildings and landmarks around the city. They are always fascinating! I think we are all just thrilled to see you again!! 🥰
Hi don't say anything negative we don't want that, we certainly don't want you in trouble. I myself would still like you to show your country off the good the bad, why should you loose out on finances. Please just keep going I myself will still watch you.❤
I have enjoyed your past cooking videos. You could even take the time to explain how to make the hot drink you seemed to enjoy at the beginning of this video. Sometimes....simple is best! Thanks for your content and hope to see you soon!!!!
So good to see you, Ksenia! I watch you from Arkansas USA and love your channel. I have enjoyed watching all of your videos, the cooking videos included. Rather than cook something from one of our countries, I personally would rather see you cook traditional Russian dishes, breads, pastries, salads, soups, whatever you enjoy cooking. Maybe you could prepare for us your favorite childhood dish, or a dish your mother made for special occasions, or something yummy a favorite Aunt used to make you. I know almost nothing about Russian food except for bortsch and that many dishes incorporate or have sour cream on the side. I think many of us come here to learn about your culture and lifestyle, so the world is the limit as far as topics. Just stay away from talk of politics or war, and I'm sure you will be fine! Love you and take care! Looking forward to WHATEVER you decide as the topic of your next video.
I was concerned that something had happened, glad to see you. Looking forward to your new videos. Stay safe. Greeting from Leicestershire (Central part of England).
I LOVE COOKING VIDEOS. Site seeing around Saint Petersburg. So many museums. So much history. Day trips to parks or such, traveling across town using public transport.
Nice to know that you are doing well Ksenia. We do understand so be careful. Oh I'm so sorry to hear that your mother has to have more lenghty treatments for her illness. I wish your mother the best of luck and I send my best wishes and greetings to you. With love and warm hugs, Susanne.❤
So good to see you again! Focus on the possible. I'm 79, unable to travel, can share my lemonberry tea that helps my health...has cranberries and lemon slices, both frozen, added cinnamon, ginger and cloves spices. What are the contents of the beverages you enjoy in your video? Dandelion weeds are a beneficial herb that lose the bitter taste when combined with a cooked egg in salad. These might help your mother. Best wishes to you and your family from Vancouver Canada. You once mentioned in a video you were interested in herbal knowledge.
I really enjoyed seeing just everyday life from your perspective - cooking, what grocery stores and parks looked like for you, trips to natural areas, all of that was interesting to me! Oh and your mom’s dacha or summer house.
Hi Knesia! It is so good to see you again. I. have a question, what was that drink you made at the beginning of this video? It looked really delicious. I would love to see more cooking videos, I enjoy them. Also, maybe you could share some crafts you do with us. Have you ever heard of junk journals? If you make them, I would love to see them. I hope your Mother's health improves soon. Take care. ❤
Very nice to see you back. I don't think we want a tour of local oil installations 🙂, you could just show us RU historical topics, which should be safe, e.g. interesting monuments in the local cities, statues commemorating historical figures, the local parks/nature reserves, etc. Show us around St Petersburg and the local area. Maybe focus more on the cultural aspects. Cat videos also do well on YT 🙂.
Ksenia! It is so nice to see you! I was just thinking of you yesterday and hoping you were well. I loved your past videos of your family dacha and garden with your lovely mother and your handsome brother. I hope you can take some time off this summer to enjoy that beautiful property. I'd love to see its progress as your brother restores it. I also liked your cooking videos! Really don't stress about coming up with content, just a quick check in and chat would be nice. Can you do lives?
It is so good to see your face and hear your voice. I would love to see anything about the nature of your area. Animals, birds, plants, flowers. Things that are native to your area. I want you to be safe, there are many that care to know you are ok.
Hi Ksenia, I am so glad that you have made this update so that we can see that you are ok. I was worried and wondering what was happening. Although we are interested to know about many things we don't want you to get into trouble or have to worry about such things. My introduction to your channel was because I am interested in minimalism and small space living. I am also interested in other cultures and how people live in other places, food preparation, lifestyle, life's challenges and pleasures. Please keep posting, even if they are only short updates on safe topics. You are such an intelligent and thoughtful person and it is great to hear your perspective on things. We can wait for other updates when your circumstances are more ideal. Take care, we keep you in our thoughts.
If you facing some problem & if you want come India & live here no problem & problem free life no buddy ask any questions why you live here & people will help you also Restart new life
Very glad to know you are well. Stay safe. Maybe you can do some videos on making your favourite meals or something staying away from the controversial.
Kseniya just this morning I was looking on the list of your videos to make sure I was seeing them! Hello dear one. It is a pleasure to see your face. Do what is best for you. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am happy that you are safe and healthy. Yet I am also very sad for the way things are going for you now. I sincerely wish there was some way I could help you my friend. 😪
Good to see you again. Sorry for the current difficulties. What a world we live in. Always enjoy your cooking videos. Best wishes to your mother. Take care
Very pleased to see and hear that you are "as well as can be". There is no need in attempting to convey your words regarding the situation. I believe we all understand the circumstance and delicate balance that is required. The time to relocate will be in the future when things change. Be smart and safe till then. Cooking question for you. I am Canadian with Hungarian grandparents and love for stuffed cabbage. Amazingly, I have only found a very few countries or regions that do not have a form of stuffed cabbage. Years of research has given me great recipes from the Far / Middle East, Europe, North & South America. If you like stuffed cabbage. Can you tell us about how your family prepares it? What styles and types are made in Russia and Belarus if you know. It is a simple hardy food the world over made with love and local traditions. As for video ideas, anything as long as you are safe.
Thought about you a few weeks ago, while driving across Ohio on my way back home. There's a small town on the west side of Ohio, called Xenia, not too far off of the main east-west highway across the state and the signs made me think, "Hey, I wonder how Ksenia is." Glad to know that you're still in the world and I hope the situation improves for you. Living in fear is no way to live. Удачи!
I think cooking videos are hard to make and edit. Of course, I’ll watch them. But don’t feel pressure to make them. I know there’s a lot you can’t talk about but the architecture and history around you has always caught my attention. Even grocery shopping is interesting! And it gets you out plus videos like that require less editing, I hope! Best to you. 💐
The tourist or just plain scenery videos are the best. It's not so easy visiting your region from the West now. But, Russia has some really beautiful areas. I wish the best for you. I am hopeful things shall pass in the near future. Take care of yourself.😊❤
So nice to hear from you again! Don't talk politics, if you don't feel safe. And don't do cooking videos for our sake, it will end up being an other job, do it if it is what you want to tell us or if it gives you fun and recreation. The name is fine, you live in St. Petersburg and it is your take on it, even if you go abroad on excursions. I like to follow the part of your life you want to share, like the one you did on a day off, to Novaya Ladoga, that was wonderful and interesting to see how well kept and too old is in the same village. Also nice to see that the supermarket is so like elsewhere. You could be ouer eyes, now we can't come to st.Petetsburg and give small guided tours of more and less turistic parts. How are the prices now, in Europe we have had a sudden inflation, have you too? Try to ask a pizzaman if there is such a thing as a russian pizza (if you eat pizzas at all). I like to know about normal life, in European medial all is bad in Russia. How do you keep fit? Do you go by bike to work, or go to the gym? Or... Has spring come to St. Petersburg? Has the climate changed? Just find something that means something to you.
Welcome back, glad to hear your doing well. Your channel name is fine, I would not change it. Now to topics: Lets take a walk in the forest or countryside and see how spring/summer arrives in Russia. Your cooking videos were always a hit with me. You've always made the simplest things interesting, keep that in mind. Take care 🌞
Hi Ksenia, I love your videos. Teach us how to make Russian tea, different Russian recipes maybe even Russian language. These are just some ideas 😍 Stay well
Regarding your channel, I think take some time to reflect on why you created your channel to begin with and draw in on that, taking time to remember the purpose of your channel? When it comes to your channels name, since you are debating the name, maybe form a channel name in relation to you and who you are, rather than being about your country, as I know we love who you are and the insights we get to see about your life. I know for me personally, I love seeing a window into your life, love the variety of content you produce, and love when you look at other cultures through your perspective. I love your cooking videos too. I’d love to see you make some Australian iconic foods such as a pavlova lol. I think variety is the key, but as I said, take a moment to reflect on why you are doing this and find that passion again to propel you forwards in the right direction. You will burnt out otherwise, need to find that love and joy. As much as we love you, do this for yourself rather than for us. Much love to you and your mum, you are both in my prayers x
Since its spring/summer are there any parks that have extra floral displays, any botanical gardens. Show the different parks. If one of your subcribers came to St.P and asked you to be a guide two days. Im not looking for historical facts, just some places that would show me the city and area. Don't eliminate any place or museum with an admission fee. Pretend your guest will cover that. I know you dont like to over spend. Include a favorite lunch spot, place for coffee/tea. We have not seen any place in St. P, so let us show us them cost of admisdion. Are they free? We dont know any of these. Another idea is to show special summer celebrations or weekly events maybe flea markets. What is sold, what are people looking for? Books, tools, clothes, etc. And yes change the name of your channel. Maybe "Spend your weekend with me", you could cook, show the sights, travel, etc. Keep posting.
Glad to see you Ksenia.... Take break as you need to .. Cooking videos sounds good...maybe quick easy dishes and drinks recipes that Rusisans eat and drink .. Be well!
Welcome back! You should only make videos if you enjoy doing so, but I know I will watch whatever you talk about. Your content is always enjoyable and informative. Two of my favorites though are the one when you went to the weird museum and the one where you talked about the different eras/styles of apartments buildings. I’d love more things like that, where you show us or talk about pieces of St. Petersburg history. Cooking videos are great too! Maybe comparing what Russians or Belarusians eat on special occasions compared to other countries? And my last suggestion, I love learning about superstitions and folklore from other cultures, so would be interested in hearing some Russian or Belarusian ones.
So good to see you again and great to know you are well! You must of course do whatever it takes to stay safe. Videos about cooking sounds lovely and hopefully it would be therapeutic for you as well. Hope to see much more of you again now! xx
Welcome back, Ksenia. There are lots of good suggestions in the comments. Here's one more (odd?) one that may be safe. How about Haunted Russia /St Petersburg? Legends? 🤷 Every place has a spooky side to it. BTW... Nice clay pot. ☺️. I've never seen that style before. I like it. ❤️
Nice to see you again Ksenia! Your well being and your family come first, I'm sure none of us fully understand the stress you're under given the current circumstances. Best wishes to your mom, hope she's better again soon. Maybe you could do a livestream just connect with all your friends! 👍👍
It’s getting bad in the U. S., too. Social media will cancel us if our opinions go against the official narrative. You should continue to be careful. Don’t take unnecessary risks.
It's very good to see you again Xenia! Sorry if I'm mispelling your name, it's a lovely name and I think quite suitable for your pleasant personality. I understand, though it's a difficult topic to discuss, that it's not easy for you to choose just the right things to talk about that might interest your viewers without it being seen as 'controversial' by people who might be just looking for that kind of thing. I do follow a few others from your country and what I enjoy most about their videos are the simple things....like one couple I watch have a dacha and I like to watch them just planting their spring gardens or shopping at Globus, or just waking the dog by the lake. It's enjoyable for me to see how everyday life is lived in other countries and especially their surroundings and neighborhoods. I also enjoy the Question and Answer sessions...I remember at least one of yours from years ago and one question really stuck with me. People wanted to know why Russian people look so angry or unhappy and you gave some really thoughtful answers on that and it really opened my eyes on a few things. Sorry this is so long, I want you to get your rest time away from work. Just wanted you to know we who watch for you are wishing you all the best and look forward to your videos...no matter how close or far apart they are. Love from Florida, USA
Cooking, walking in the park, Spring flowers birds butterflies. Anything that is mundane to you is not to me. I have never been to Russia. Only record what is safe for you all. Sending love to your Mum.
Hi Ksenia! It’s so good to see you. I definitely missed you… I feel horrible that emigrating didn’t work out. You are young and sweet and reasonable and deserve more from life. I enjoyed your cooking videos! Do you have any hobbies to talk about? Do you read and want to discuss your books? Do you go out on the weekends to places you can share with us. Please don’t give up! Nothing lasts forever… sending a hug from Indiana USA!
I don’t care about politics. I really like your videos about cooking, your family, dacha, and just everyday life in general. Can you make more of those?
👍 If you have any craft you like, you could do some kind of craft. You do not always have to talk a lot even with cooking. A simple and low cost meal from the state where I live is called Jambalaya. Basically; rice, meat, flavoring like onion, bell pepper, celery. Even a couple of the ingredients are 'okay'. Pretty forgiving recipe. 🙂💐🌸🌻Hope your mom will be well soon.
@@StPetersburgme You are welcome. 😺 You can make it with just chicken or just pork, almost any kind of meat. You do not have to add any kind of seafood. I prefer the kind that is not made with tomato sauce. Not tomato-y. 😁 There's another recipe called Dirty Rice that's good too.
I’ve continued to find out more about the 1850s war in Crimea. I never knew that Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the Russian army in Crimea. I read the book and seen the films of war and peace and thought of Tolstoy as an author, never realising he had a military background. I’m continually realising how little I actually now about famous Russians.
Hi Ksenia, It's awesome to see you . Yes the cooking would be A Star Subject ! Your Hair is so long and pretty now ... How about telling us about the Cheese & popular Meats in Russia . What would a Russia Picnic be like ! Where would you go what foods would be in your basket and Beverages.
I'm happy to see you! Can you feature local yarn and cross stitch shops and Russian cross stitch pattern designers along with contact information for possible purchasing of patterns? Highlight locals and their cultural crafts with demonstrations. Are there spring or summer festivals coming up soon you could film highlights to share with us? Take care, you are loved by many!
So glad you are ok! I have enjoyed your videos out in the various places in St. Petersburg and other regions. Just seeing the region and people is interesting. Museums, libraries, schools, gardens, street music, all good. I like your cooking videos as well and like when you take us with you to shop for food.
We're still here, happy to see your smiling face, hear your voice, and see your beautiful long hair. I know the censorship is hard and scary. What about some self care videos? Do you do anything crafty? What's a Russian spa/manicure like? How about a trip to an art gallery, or a walk down those beautiful architecture buildings. Is the St. Petersburg subway anything like the Moscow one? Trip to your favourite park/garden and cafe? I like the cooking ones too. If you're tired, make them shorter, no rush, no pressure. Glad to see you are well.😊❤ Have you ever been to a ballet there? Are there any shopping outdoor craft/farmers markets or still too cold? Are you planning any travels? How's your mom, brother, and is there a neice? Any plans for future decor changes? Thanks for the update. Looks like the Iranian president and foreign minister went down in a helicopter crash today, saying they're deceased, but has not been officially announced. The helicopter was 40 years old. I think NATO is going to send troops into Ukraine, because from what I hear they're pretty much out of troops, so either Russia wins, or things will get ugly, time will tell. Take good care Ksenia.🌸👡🌷
So happy to see you again. I've always loved your videos and on all the different subjects you presented. All were always informative and entertaining. Would watch anything you post. The flowers on the table are lovely. Thanks for making this video and letting us know you are okay.
Good to see you again! Any topic you choose is interesting to me -- walking around your neighbourhood, going shopping, cooking, etc. I first discovered your channel when you gave a tour of your apartment. As a Canadian I was interested to see how people in your country live their daily lives and to discover all the things we have in common and those little differences that make life unique. You have a lovely manner and a very good way of presenting things honestly. Keep up your spirits and don't get discouraged.
We miss your content of everyday life, and miss you too. Thanks for your update and we understand how difficult it must be to make content under present circumstances. Your priority is family and we hope your mother's health improves and you can make more content when time allows. l like your title St Petersburg - me.
I was looking for a video from you for a long time now . I watch you from Canada . please don't stop showing us your beautiful country , stores , churches i will love to see the inside of the beautiful churches you have there . Iam also Orthodox Christian. So good to see you again ❤
Love just seeing places and food and recipies your basic explanations of Russian life are great getting people to smile at you at the park like a video game cracked me up, do more of that toooo!
Hello Ksenia! First of all I am so happy to know that you are fine! We missed you a lot. It's been a long time since you posted videos, but the most important thing is that you are ok! Your videos have always been so beautiful and the next videos will be just as beautiful and interesting. Do not worry about it! A garden, a meadow, a trip along a river, cuisine, a museum....will be amazing!! Best wishes for your mom! Thank you very much and take care 💕🪻🌷⚘️
Welcome back! So good to see you again and to know you are well. I think we can understand your position and understand your concern about content. I enjoyed your cooking shows on the various products that are staple in your country. I also enjoyed your trips to food shop and thrift shopping. Your trips to the area where you grew up were fun to see. I have also wondered about your mom and sorry to hear she is under treatment again. Take care and hope to see you soon.
Hi Ksenia, I am so happy to hear from you> I understand your thoughts as I follow quite a few RUclipsrs from your country and they have expressed similar reasons for not filming. Cooking videos are not my cup of tea but if they are recipes from your country I will watch them. I am 70 years old and Diabetic and would like to see some videos about your food. Or just filming walks and gardening videos videos if you are comfortable with that. I sure missed you and thought about you. On another subject I have decided to become a creator last year and started filming about my life as a senior living in Texas. When I was a child born in West Berlin I watched the wall go up in 61 seperating me from my family. There some things to big for us to do anything about. I wish and hope all this stops. We have a lot of turmoil in our country also. Try to somehow relax. Do ntt worry yourself over us, just try to take of yourself and your health. ❤❤🙏🙏
Ksenia we fully understand. We are on the outside looking in. We in the western world always understand the seriousness of Russia. In north america we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It would be nice to see more traditional Russian recipes or see where you shop in Russia. Take us on a daily shopping trip. Even just show us what groceries you buy on a normal shopping trip. Tell us about growing up in Belarus, Tell us what your school experience was and if you had any play time or joined any clubs. Tell us what your brother does for a living or tell us about your niece and nephews and what clubs they are in. Normal everyday things are interestand you don't have to talk about the leadership of your country. Take us to a restaurant or to a nature area or a park near you. We are interested in the normal every day Russian life.
I am happy to see your video again. You have been missed. Sorry your mother is going through medical treatments again. The world is going crazy and we all need to be there for each other. I’m in Montana, USA. Much love to you. 😊💗🙏
BTW: When this special operation finally ends, you could offer guided tours of St Petersburg and the local area to visiting tourists (e.g. your viewers). You'd maybe need a separate site to manage bookings, payment, etc., but it could be a good way to supplement your day job, and it would be paid in foreign currency. You could also offer RU conversation lessons online now to earn some extra money.
Hi there; good to see you Ksenia. 🥰 Maybe we can help you choose a new title for your channel? I thought of cooking before you even said it! I'm sorry the situation is - what it is - in your country. I hope your mom will be okay; you are a good daughter. I really liked that unusual-shaped pot you fixed your tea in- or was it coffee? Am I crazy or did you have a cat? 😂🐈
Please do whatever you need to do to stay safe. We are here for you. Cooking videos sound nice. What about teaching us some basic Russian or talking about the various regions in Russia. I always enjoy your walks and trips to different cultural sites or landmarks. I would also enjoy cleaning videos, self care videos, and wardrobe videos. I also find daily chores or errands interesting. What about a book club? You and your family (especially your Mom) are in my thoughts! ❤❤❤
Cooking videos of Russian foods, buying the groceries for the cooking videos, gardening videos, shopping videos, Russian holiday and Russian traditions. I love the everyday foods - even if it is mundane everyday life. I even enjoyed watching you make your coffee at the beginning of your video. I it interesting to see how people do things in other counties; we don’t make coffee like that where we live. Would love to see those kind of videos.
Just glad to see you! Always take care of yourself first! Prayers for your mom! Thinking of you and we understand. Cooking shows are always good. Im from St Louis Missouri. We eat BBQ and pizza! I wouldnt think you would like these foods but maybe. Id rather see food from your country or your moms recipes. Yes its difficult now. How do we speak without speaking? But we are watching and understand. Glad your job is good and you are healthy. Are you able to visit your mom? Lots of spring storms here. Temperatures are climbing as we get close to summer. Time seems to go fast! Hugs and prayers beautiful lady! Do you do crafts? Its a beautiful afternoon in the park here and Memorial Day celebrating all who lost their lives and all who serve in the military. Its a big holiday, everyone is out! Take care Ksennia! Thanks for saying hi! I see you have pretty flowers behind you! Spasibo and paka!
Oh so happy to see you!
You were missed and you are a beautiful soul!
Hi Ksenia, I really enjoy regular topics like cooking (YES- I am one who loves such videos!), home tour because I would love to see how your apartment is decorated or arranged now, shopping, parks, everyday life. Maybe another tour of your family's garden? Typical fashion in Russia? I also like videos on topics like the tax structure that you made once. If you ever go out to nature and countryside that would be nice to see (and enjoyable for you). Or you could talk about your meditation or other hobbies. You do not need a fancy or particularly sophisticated subject. So glad to see you today. Pretty flowers on your table. Hugs from Kansas USA 💗
Welcome back. Take care of yourself! The world needs more people like you whether you can speak freely or not. It’s not you.
So HAPPY to see you again!! I love your cooking videos too and the ones that you show of the different stores nearby.

Hi don't say anything negative we don't want that, we certainly don't want you in trouble. I myself would still like you to show your country off the good the bad, why should you loose out on finances. Please just keep going I myself will still watch you.❤
Just cook something, tell us how the family is doing, keep it simple!
I enjoy your fresh, intelligent, conscientious outlook on life! Especially under present circumstances, don’t give up!👍🏻🥰
We really enjoyed the garden ones on your family farm could you do more of those? Please thank you
Welcome back and try to stay away from politics. I would like to see videos of St Petersburg in the spring and summer it's such a beautiful city
So nice to see you and I would watch your daily life, cooking videos, family, what you are doing for leisure❤❤😊
Thank you for the ideas
I have enjoyed your past cooking videos. You could even take the time to explain how to make the hot drink you seemed to enjoy at the beginning of this video. Sometimes....simple is best! Thanks for your content and hope to see you soon!!!!
I too was interested in what the drink was you made, how you made it and what the ingredients were.
So good to see you, Ksenia! I watch you from Arkansas USA and love your channel. I have enjoyed watching all of your videos, the cooking videos included.

I LOVE COOKING VIDEOS.
Site seeing around Saint Petersburg. So many museums. So much history. Day trips to parks or such, traveling across town using public transport.

Thank you for sharing! Yes, I am interested in herbs. I am making many kinds of teas for myself combining different herbs and fruit.
I really enjoyed seeing just everyday life from your perspective - cooking, what grocery stores and parks looked like for you, trips to natural areas, all of that was interesting to me! Oh and your mom’s dacha or summer house.

I hope your Mother's health improves soon. Take care. ❤
Very nice to see you back. I don't think we want a tour of local oil installations 🙂, you could just show us RU historical topics, which should be safe, e.g. interesting monuments in the local cities, statues commemorating historical figures, the local parks/nature reserves, etc. Show us around St Petersburg and the local area. Maybe focus more on the cultural aspects. Cat videos also do well on YT 🙂.
Ksenia! It is so nice to see you! I was just thinking of you yesterday and hoping you were well. I loved your past videos of your family dacha and garden with your lovely mother and your handsome brother. I hope you can take some time off this summer to enjoy that beautiful property. I'd love to see its progress as your brother restores it. I also liked your cooking videos! Really don't stress about coming up with content, just a quick check in and chat would be nice. Can you do lives?
Love the flowers 💐💐🌻
It is so good to see your face and hear your voice. I would love to see anything about the nature of your area. Animals, birds, plants, flowers. Things that are native to your area. I want you to be safe, there are many that care to know you are ok.

I love your cooking videos. You are so talented at multitasking- cooking and monitoring the live chat.
I'm so glad you are okay. I've been worried about you.
Very glad to know you are well. Stay safe. Maybe you can do some videos on making your favourite meals or something staying away from the controversial.
Kseniya just this morning I was looking on the list of your videos to make sure I was seeing them! Hello dear one. It is a pleasure to see your face. Do what is best for you. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am happy that you are safe and healthy. Yet I am also very sad for the way things are going for you now. I sincerely wish there was some way I could help you my friend. 😪
Thank you, Kirk! Your good words are already great support!
Good to see you again. Sorry for the current difficulties. What a world we live in. Always enjoy your cooking videos. Best wishes to your mother. Take care
Very pleased to see and hear that you are "as well as can be". There is no need in attempting to convey your words regarding the situation. I believe we all understand the circumstance and delicate balance that is required. The time to relocate will be in the future when things change. Be smart and safe till then. Cooking question for you. I am Canadian with Hungarian grandparents and love for stuffed cabbage. Amazingly, I have only found a very few countries or regions that do not have a form of stuffed cabbage. Years of research has given me great recipes from the Far / Middle East, Europe, North & South America. If you like stuffed cabbage. Can you tell us about how your family prepares it? What styles and types are made in Russia and Belarus if you know. It is a simple hardy food the world over made with love and local traditions. As for video ideas, anything as long as you are safe.
Hi 👋🏼 Welcome Back! Good to see you again 😊
Good to know your okay.
Thought about you a few weeks ago, while driving across Ohio on my way back home. There's a small town on the west side of Ohio, called Xenia, not too far off of the main east-west highway across the state and the signs made me think, "Hey, I wonder how Ksenia is." Glad to know that you're still in the world and I hope the situation improves for you. Living in fear is no way to live. Удачи!
I think cooking videos are hard to make and edit. Of course, I’ll watch them. But don’t feel pressure to make them. I know there’s a lot you can’t talk about but the architecture and history around you has always caught my attention. Even grocery shopping is interesting! And it gets you out plus videos like that require less editing, I hope! Best to you. 💐
The tourist or just plain scenery videos are the best. It's not so easy visiting your region from the West now. But, Russia has some really beautiful areas. I wish the best for you. I am hopeful things shall pass in the near future. Take care of yourself.😊❤
👏🎉👏Hooray❣️
Glad to see you're back and that you're doing well❣️
We know you to be such a kind person; we want only the best for you❣️
So nice to hear from you again!
Don't talk politics, if you don't feel safe.
And don't do cooking videos for our sake, it will end up being an other job, do it if it is what you want to tell us or if it gives you fun and recreation.
The name is fine, you live in St. Petersburg and it is your take on it, even if you go abroad on excursions.
I like to follow the part of your life you want to share, like the one you did on a day off, to Novaya Ladoga, that was wonderful and interesting to see how well kept and too old is in the same village. Also nice to see that the supermarket is so like elsewhere.
You could be ouer eyes, now we can't come to st.Petetsburg and give small guided tours of more and less turistic parts.
How are the prices now, in Europe we have had a sudden inflation, have you too?
Try to ask a pizzaman if there is such a thing as a russian pizza (if you eat pizzas at all).
I like to know about normal life, in European medial all is bad in Russia.
How do you keep fit? Do you go by bike to work, or go to the gym? Or...
Has spring come to St. Petersburg? Has the climate changed?
Just find something that means something to you.
Welcome back, glad to hear your doing well. Your channel name is fine, I would not change it.
Now to topics: Lets take a walk in the forest or countryside and see how spring/summer arrives in Russia. Your cooking videos were always a hit with me. You've always made the simplest things interesting, keep that in mind.
Take care 🌞
Hi Ksenia, I love your videos. Teach us how to make Russian tea, different Russian recipes maybe even Russian language. These are just some ideas 😍 Stay well
So glad to see you back! I’ll watch whatever kind of videos you decide to make! 😊
Me too
Happy to see you are ok. Understand the constraints you are under for video topics. Certainly family obligations are a priority. Take care from USA.
So relieved you are safe and well, I was envisioning the worst for a bit there lol. Much love hun, Brad :)
Regarding your channel, I think take some time to reflect on why you created your channel to begin with and draw in on that, taking time to remember the purpose of your channel? When it comes to your channels name, since you are debating the name, maybe form a channel name in relation to you and who you are, rather than being about your country, as I know we love who you are and the insights we get to see about your life. I know for me personally, I love seeing a window into your life, love the variety of content you produce, and love when you look at other cultures through your perspective. I love your cooking videos too. I’d love to see you make some Australian iconic foods such as a pavlova lol. I think variety is the key, but as I said, take a moment to reflect on why you are doing this and find that passion again to propel you forwards in the right direction. You will burnt out otherwise, need to find that love and joy. As much as we love you, do this for yourself rather than for us. Much love to you and your mum, you are both in my prayers x
Happy to hear from you again take care of yourself be safe 11:29
It’s nice seeing and hearing from you.
Since its spring/summer are there any parks that have extra floral displays, any botanical gardens. Show the different parks. If one of your subcribers came to St.P and asked you to be a guide two days. Im not looking for historical facts, just some places that would show me the city and area. Don't eliminate any place or museum with an admission fee. Pretend your guest will cover that. I know you dont like to over spend. Include a favorite lunch spot, place for coffee/tea.
We have not seen any place in St. P, so let us show us them cost of admisdion. Are they free? We dont know any of these. Another idea is to show special summer celebrations or weekly events maybe flea markets. What is sold, what are people looking for? Books, tools, clothes, etc. And yes change the name of your channel. Maybe "Spend your weekend with me", you could cook, show the sights, travel, etc. Keep posting.
You should make sarmale , the romanian cabbage rolls
Nice to see you again. Hope things improve for you in the future.
All the best,
Richard
Glad to see you Ksenia.... Take break as you need to .. Cooking videos sounds good...maybe quick easy dishes and drinks recipes that Rusisans eat and drink .. Be well!
Glad to see you 😊
Cooking videos are good, walks in the park,everyday life nothing controversial, just be you, be safe, blessings
Welcome back! You should only make videos if you enjoy doing so, but I know I will watch whatever you talk about. Your content is always enjoyable and informative. Two of my favorites though are the one when you went to the weird museum and the one where you talked about the different eras/styles of apartments buildings. I’d love more things like that, where you show us or talk about pieces of St. Petersburg history. Cooking videos are great too! Maybe comparing what Russians or Belarusians eat on special occasions compared to other countries? And my last suggestion, I love learning about superstitions and folklore from other cultures, so would be interested in hearing some Russian or Belarusian ones.
😃 I am so glad you are ok!! We miss you, but your safety is the most important.
So good to see you again and great to know you are well! You must of course do whatever it takes to stay safe. Videos about cooking sounds lovely and hopefully it would be therapeutic for you as well. Hope to see much more of you again now! xx
Welcome back, Ksenia.
There are lots of good suggestions in the comments. Here's one more (odd?) one that may be safe.
How about Haunted Russia /St Petersburg? Legends? 🤷
Every place has a spooky side to it.
BTW... Nice clay pot. ☺️. I've never seen that style before. I like it. ❤️
Nice to see you again Ksenia! Your well being and your family come first, I'm sure none of us fully understand the stress you're under given the current circumstances. Best wishes to your mom, hope she's better again soon. Maybe you could do a livestream just connect with all your friends! 👍👍
It’s getting bad in the U. S., too. Social media will cancel us if our opinions go against the official narrative. You should continue to be careful. Don’t take unnecessary risks.
Good to know you are well. We have noted and understand the situation there.
It's very good to see you again Xenia! Sorry if I'm mispelling your name, it's a lovely name and I think quite suitable for your pleasant personality. I understand, though it's a difficult topic to discuss, that it's not easy for you to choose just the right things to talk about that might interest your viewers without it being seen as 'controversial' by people who might be just looking for that kind of thing. I do follow a few others from your country and what I enjoy most about their videos are the simple things....like one couple I watch have a dacha and I like to watch them just planting their spring gardens or shopping at Globus, or just waking the dog by the lake. It's enjoyable for me to see how everyday life is lived in other countries and especially their surroundings and neighborhoods. I also enjoy the Question and Answer sessions...I remember at least one of yours from years ago and one question really stuck with me. People wanted to know why Russian people look so angry or unhappy and you gave some really thoughtful answers on that and it really opened my eyes on a few things. Sorry this is so long, I want you to get your rest time away from work. Just wanted you to know we who watch for you are wishing you all the best and look forward to your videos...no matter how close or far apart they are. Love from Florida, USA
Hi friend!
Hello 🖐
@@StPetersburgme ☺️
Cooking, walking in the park, Spring flowers birds butterflies. Anything that is mundane to you is not to me. I have never been to Russia.
Only record what is safe for you all. Sending love to your Mum.
Hi Ksenia! It’s so good to see you. I definitely missed you… I feel horrible that emigrating didn’t work out. You are young and sweet and reasonable and deserve more from life. I enjoyed your cooking videos! Do you have any hobbies to talk about? Do you read and want to discuss your books? Do you go out on the weekends to places you can share with us. Please don’t give up! Nothing lasts forever… sending a hug from Indiana USA!
Nice to see you again
I don’t care about politics. I really like your videos about cooking, your family, dacha, and just everyday life in general. Can you make more of those?
👍 If you have any craft you like, you could do some kind of craft. You do not always have to talk a lot even with cooking. A simple and low cost meal from the state where I live is called Jambalaya. Basically; rice, meat, flavoring like onion, bell pepper, celery. Even a couple of the ingredients are 'okay'. Pretty forgiving recipe.
🙂💐🌸🌻Hope your mom will be well soon.
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I will look it up.
@@StPetersburgme You are welcome. 😺 You can make it with just chicken or just pork, almost any kind of meat. You do not have to add any kind of seafood. I prefer the kind that is not made with tomato sauce. Not tomato-y. 😁 There's another recipe called Dirty Rice that's good too.
I’ve continued to find out more about the 1850s war in Crimea. I never knew that Leo Tolstoy was an artillery officer in the Russian army in Crimea. I read the book and seen the films of war and peace and thought of Tolstoy as an author, never realising he had a military background. I’m continually realising how little I actually now about famous Russians.
Hi Ksenia,
It's awesome to see you .
Yes the cooking would be A Star Subject !
Your Hair is so long and pretty now ...
How about telling us about the Cheese & popular Meats in Russia .
What would a Russia Picnic be like !
Where would you go what foods would be in your basket and Beverages.
I'm happy to see you! Can you feature local yarn and cross stitch shops and Russian cross stitch pattern designers along with contact information for possible purchasing of patterns? Highlight locals and their cultural crafts with demonstrations. Are there spring or summer festivals coming up soon you could film highlights to share with us? Take care, you are loved by many!
So glad you are ok! I have enjoyed your videos out in the various places in St. Petersburg and other regions. Just seeing the region and people is interesting. Museums, libraries, schools, gardens, street music, all good. I like your cooking videos as well and like when you take us with you to shop for food.
Приятно снова вас слышать, берегите себя, это самое главное.
We're still here, happy to see your smiling face, hear your voice, and see your beautiful long hair. I know the censorship is hard and scary. What about some self care videos? Do you do anything crafty? What's a Russian spa/manicure like? How about a trip to an art gallery, or a walk down those beautiful architecture buildings. Is the St. Petersburg subway anything like the Moscow one? Trip to your favourite park/garden and cafe? I like the cooking ones too. If you're tired, make them shorter, no rush, no pressure. Glad to see you are well.😊❤ Have you ever been to a ballet there? Are there any shopping outdoor craft/farmers markets or still too cold? Are you planning any travels? How's your mom, brother, and is there a neice? Any plans for future decor changes? Thanks for the update. Looks like the Iranian president and foreign minister went down in a helicopter crash today, saying they're deceased, but has not been officially announced. The helicopter was 40 years old. I think NATO is going to send troops into Ukraine, because from what I hear they're pretty much out of troops, so either Russia wins, or things will get ugly, time will tell. Take good care Ksenia.🌸👡🌷
We all understand, and we will all be watching no matter what you post. We support you. 😊
I enjoy every one of your videos K and I fully understand what you’re saying by not being able to say it.
So happy to see you again. I've always loved your videos and on all the different subjects you presented. All were always informative and entertaining. Would watch anything you post. The flowers on the table are lovely. Thanks for making this video and letting us know you are okay.
Good to see you again! Any topic you choose is interesting to me -- walking around your neighbourhood, going shopping, cooking, etc. I first discovered your channel when you gave a tour of your apartment. As a Canadian I was interested to see how people in your country live their daily lives and to discover all the things we have in common and those little differences that make life unique. You have a lovely manner and a very good way of presenting things honestly. Keep up your spirits and don't get discouraged.
Lovely to see a new video from you! I will be happy to see any videos from you that you're happy to make ❤
I enjoy your cooking videos, grocery store and other store videos, the videos with your family in the garden/countryside.....
We miss your content of everyday life, and miss you too. Thanks for your update and we understand how difficult it must be to make content under present circumstances. Your priority is family and we hope your mother's health improves and you can make more content when time allows. l like your title St Petersburg - me.
Always nice to see you Ksenia.
No need to apologize. I'm just happy to see that you are fine!
I was looking for a video from you for a long time now . I watch you from Canada . please don't stop showing us your beautiful country , stores , churches i will love to see the inside of the beautiful churches you have there . Iam also Orthodox Christian. So good to see you again ❤
Love just seeing places and food and recipies your basic explanations of Russian life are great getting people to smile at you at the park like a video game cracked me up, do more of that toooo!
You are in such an awful situation. I’m sorry my dear. Take good care of yourself!! Stay safe. Love seeing you again. How is the kitten?
👍
Hello Ksenia! First of all I am so happy to know that you are fine! We missed you a lot. It's been a long time since you posted videos, but the most important thing is that you are ok! Your videos have always been so beautiful and the next videos will be just as beautiful and interesting. Do not worry about it! A garden, a meadow, a trip along a river, cuisine, a museum....will be amazing!! Best wishes for your mom! Thank you very much and take care 💕🪻🌷⚘️
Welcome back! So good to see you again and to know you are well. I think we can understand your position and understand your concern about content. I enjoyed your cooking shows on the various products that are staple in your country. I also enjoyed your trips to food shop and thrift shopping. Your trips to the area where you grew up were fun to see. I have also wondered about your mom and sorry to hear she is under treatment again. Take care and hope to see you soon.
Hi Ksenia, I am so happy to hear from you> I understand your thoughts as I follow quite a few RUclipsrs from your country and they have expressed similar reasons for not filming. Cooking videos are not my cup of tea but if they are recipes from your country I will watch them. I am 70 years old and Diabetic and would like to see some videos about your food. Or just filming walks and gardening videos videos if you are comfortable with that. I sure missed you and thought about you. On another subject I have decided to become a creator last year and started filming about my life as a senior living in Texas. When I was a child born in West Berlin I watched the wall go up in 61 seperating me from my family. There some things to big for us to do anything about. I wish and hope all this stops. We have a lot of turmoil in our country also. Try to somehow relax. Do ntt worry yourself over us, just try to take of yourself and your health. ❤❤🙏🙏
Ksenia we fully understand. We are on the outside looking in. We in the western world always understand the seriousness of Russia. In north america we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It would be nice to see more traditional Russian recipes or see where you shop in Russia. Take us on a daily shopping trip. Even just show us what groceries you buy on a normal shopping trip. Tell us about growing up in Belarus, Tell us what your school experience was and if you had any play time or joined any clubs. Tell us what your brother does for a living or tell us about your niece and nephews and what clubs they are in. Normal everyday things are interestand you don't have to talk about
the leadership of your country. Take us to a restaurant or to a nature area or a park near you. We are interested in the normal every day Russian life.
We missed you and we are glad you are still online.
There are politics channels all over RUclips. You don't have to be one.
We don't want you to take risks. I very much enjoy it when you show us the sights and when you show us your interests and hobbies.
I missed you, happy to see you. cooking would be fun, day in the life, culture anything is always enjoyable coming from you!
I am happy to see your video again. You have been missed. Sorry your mother is going through medical treatments again. The world is going crazy and we all need to be there for each other. I’m in Montana, USA. Much love to you. 😊💗🙏
BTW: When this special operation finally ends, you could offer guided tours of St Petersburg and the local area to visiting tourists (e.g. your viewers). You'd maybe need a separate site to manage bookings, payment, etc., but it could be a good way to supplement your day job, and it would be paid in foreign currency. You could also offer RU conversation lessons online now to earn some extra money.
Hi there; good to see you Ksenia. 🥰 Maybe we can help you choose a new title for your channel? I thought of cooking before you even said it! I'm sorry the situation is - what it is - in your country. I hope your mom will be okay; you are a good daughter. I really liked that unusual-shaped pot you fixed your tea in- or was it coffee? Am I crazy or did you have a cat? 😂🐈
Please do whatever you need to do to stay safe. We are here for you. Cooking videos sound nice. What about teaching us some basic Russian or talking about the various regions in Russia. I always enjoy your walks and trips to different cultural sites or landmarks. I would also enjoy cleaning videos, self care videos, and wardrobe videos. I also find daily chores or errands interesting. What about a book club? You and your family (especially your Mom) are in my thoughts! ❤❤❤
Cooking videos of Russian foods, buying the groceries for the cooking videos, gardening videos, shopping videos, Russian holiday and Russian traditions. I love the everyday foods - even if it is mundane everyday life. I even enjoyed watching you make your coffee at the beginning of your video. I it interesting to see how people do things in other counties; we don’t make coffee like that where we live. Would love to see those kind of videos.
Maybe you can give us lessons in Russian languages (phrases , idioms), talk abour Russian or Belarusian traditions... Good to see you again!
I was just thinking about you today as I was going through my RUclips watch list.
Just glad to see you! Always take care of yourself first! Prayers for your mom! Thinking of you and we understand. Cooking shows are always good. Im from St Louis Missouri. We eat BBQ and pizza! I wouldnt think you would like these foods but maybe. Id rather see food from your country or your moms recipes. Yes its difficult now. How do we speak without speaking? But we are watching and understand. Glad your job is good and you are healthy. Are you able to visit your mom?
Lots of spring storms here. Temperatures are climbing as we get close to summer. Time seems to go fast! Hugs and prayers beautiful lady! Do you do crafts?
Its a beautiful afternoon in the park here and Memorial Day celebrating all who lost their lives and all who serve in the military. Its a big holiday, everyone is out!
Take care Ksennia! Thanks for saying hi! I see you have pretty flowers behind you! Spasibo and paka!
