      Like most other Russians she's just blocking it out like it doesn't exist on vacation living it up while her country is committing a genocidal war against Ukraine. If she wanted to do something helpful she should take her proceeds from this channel and help the victims of Ukraine. It rubs me the wrong way watching these people just act like it doesn't exist and run away from their country because they're too afraid or too much of a coward to try to make a change should maybe they'll have a future in their own country worth living, they're afraid that if they do it might require sacrifice and they won't have their happy little comfortable life anymore. Well think about the families and the children that were killed when Russian cruise missiles smashed into Ukrainian apartment buildings today and yesterday and tomorrow.

    This was really, really nice, Natasha. Lately I've been thinking I miss seeing videos like this. These quick looks at regular life always make me think about how similar we all are. It reminds me of my childhood here in the US. Even the walk down the snowy hill - I remember doing that to walk down to a little market to buy snacks, when I was growing up. I've always loved the snow, but unfortunately it doesn't snow in the area where I live now. People also don't get into the holidays as much as they used to, so a lot of the festivity is gone. I'm not religious either, but I am very fond of Christmas. When people used to get really into it here, people would make a big deal of snow and decorating and making holiday food and drinks and stuff. Christmas lights would be everywhere, and some of them were kind of ugly but some of them would look just lovely. Now it seems like people will buy each other gifts, maybe put on a holiday movie or something, and say 'Merry Christmas'/'Happy Holidays'/whatever else. Only a few random people seem to decorate much at all. Even my own family - who used to all get super into it - now do basically nothing other than small gifts.
    As it happens I have a horrible fear of heights so when you were on the stairs for that fortress place, you were saying you were scared to continue on and showed that pit next to the stairs and I was like "I see you're braver than I." 😂
    As far as the stickers - there are bits of things like that here, but not a lot. I guess it makes sense we wouldn't have a lot, since we haven't been a direct target like Ukraine and Georgia have been, but there's still some. Certain people will have stickers on their cars, or things like that. Most large businesses won't because they don't want to get involved in political arguments - especially because in recent years there are more people who think that anything they don't like is a reason to get violent. Personally, I have a couple shirts I like to wear sometimes - one says "Futin Puck", and the other has "Russian warship, go f&^k yourself!"

      Are they sometimes called Mezzanine in English(I am from England). In not far off times loft was a sleeping space or a storage space under the angle of the roof. sometimes called an ATTICK or GARRET.
      in traditional houses in the Celtic country of Wales, the loft space was sometimes called a 'Crogloft' in the old Welsh language. It would be used for sleeping some of the family. Access typically by wooden ladder that was hidden away during the day. In my childhood I had school friends who slept in crogloft and had to ask mother to go there for toys during the day. Not long ago... about 1953.

      In December 2008 The European Union has created The International Commission to Investigate the Circumstances of the War in the South Caucasus in August 2008, for an international study of the causes of the conflict.
      This commission, under the leadership of former UN Representative in Georgia Heidi Tagliavini, included independent military experts, it was allocated a budget of 1.6 million euros. The commission's report was supposed to be submitted on July 31, 2009, but it was postponed to September 30.

    It is so much fun to see what Georgia looks like and I am glad you had a fun Christmas with your friends. Where I live, in the US, we are all anti-war but we are not anti-Russian. There are many people here from Russia and other Slavic countries, as well as the entire world. I always see it best to be kind and look out for one another and be peaceful, not aggressive. We will not see stickers like that in our country. It would be considered rude. But we don't live close to Russia nor have we ever been occupied by them, so it is a different circumstance. I think you should invest in some hiking books for bad weather or any slippery paths you might go on during your adventures. Sneakers never have good enough tread! No more falling down!!

Even if this war ended tomorrow Russia will be a pariah state for the next 50 years at the very least with nobody especially in the west doing business or trusting them because every single thing they say is a lie. I think she should be taking her proceeds from this and helping the victims of Ukraine not spending it on $200 a night airbnb's and going on these expensive vacations!! Or if not at least go back to Russia and try to make a change in her own country with the resources that she has but no of course not because that might require sacrifice and then she wouldn't have her little comfortable life anymore, but it's okay that her country strip all of that from the Ukrainian people right?

      @@badmonkey2222 With all due respect, her staying in Russia and trying to change things wouldn’t help anyone. She’d probably just be arrested and that wouldn’t be any good for Ukraine or herself. Also, why is it her responsibility to do that? I’m not Russian and I live a comfortable life and nobody gets all angry at me for not fighting for Ukraine. It’s not her fault she’s Russian, and it’s not like she elected Putin. Also, Natasha has done a lot to raise awareness about the situation in Ukraine, you can check her other videos to see that. She does help the way she can - like I try to. But it’s not like she’s a bad person for not trying to resolve one of the world’s biggest conflicts at the moment on her own. And last but not least, she has never said it was ok for the Russian government to strip Ukrainians of their lives. In fact, she’s been criticising Putin’s war for a long time now. You should learn more about her and her opinions before hating on her online. I understand this might be a sensitive topic to you if you’re Ukrainian, and if you are, I don’t judge you for being weary of Russians. But it is important to remember Russia’s government isn’t a democracy, and it’s not all Russians fault what is happening to Ukraine - it is actually a very small portion that is to blame for that, and even if bigger parts of the population support Putin, not every Russian does. I am very sorry about what is going on in Ukraine right now, but directing hate speech towards every Russian person isn’t the answer. There’s nearly 150 million of them, they’re obviously not all bad - nuance is crucial in these situations. I have this opinion AND I stand with Ukraine. These two can and should coexist. 🇺🇦

      You are incredibly naive. The Georgian situation was 100% engineered by the CIA via NATO. Everyone knows that. But the current Ukrainian situation is even more obviously a NATO/CIA operation. Russia only poses a threat to the global central banking system.
      If I’m wrong, how many countries has the USA invaded? Count them. None were their neighbours. How many countries has Russia invaded? NONE. Ukrainian forces attacked civilians in Donbas in 2014. Putin waited EIGHT YEARS to respond!
      No, Putin is NOT a good guy. But Zelensky is a corrupt CIA puppet that has imprisoned journalists and closed churches. Plus, even according to the US State Department, the Azov Battalion is described as a terrorist organisation.
      Russia is responding to being surrounded by enemies, and is under financial attack. But their economy is surviving, whilst the west is suffering!

    I approve of the stickers, the notations on receipts, and the general attitudes of Georgians towards the Russian people to remind Russians that their government is wrong in its war against Ukraine. The Russian people are complicit in this terrible war because they do not publicly oppose it. I know, it is difficult to voice one's opinions in an autocratic-run government but, they allowed it to happen when it could have been prevented in the late 1990s/early 2000s. If the people do not take charge, they will always be subjugated.
