Girl, kudos to you lasting this long. It's not easy living in another country. Different language AND being a black woman.. I can't even imagine! And now with this conflict over there, sanctions and such... You are a strong woman and a good wife staying by his side. Prayers to you and your family ♡♡
@@sophiebell4649 she’s born in America and black and lives in russia I have black friends in russia who were born there so that makes them Black Russian or they could be part Russian if one parent is black and the other is Russian
@@mirage3572 true but if her parents were let’s say African, she was born in America, ( has African blood )but still followed African culture and such, would she really still be american?
If you need any Black Hair Products, send me a message of what you want and I can ship it from Piter. There is a Black Owned Store, that I go and get my products.
Yes you're talking about real feeling that anyone who is far away from their country and family would have you're helping anyone who might be thinking moving to another country to see all sides of what that might mean thank you Victoria and yes more of these type of videos would be great Sending you a hug from Newport News Virginia USA 🤗
just subscribed. I an African American female. Had wanted to learn Russian for a while now. I am interested in seeing that their are black people in Russia. It is pretty cool.
Well that's gonna be a setback for years if not decades to come due to the current situation but people can still learn the language through a variety of ways.
We often talk of missing people. Or missing places. But when you are an expat, what you fundamentally miss is your culture. No matter what people say, living in a different culture has a very heavy emotional toll.
Yes! I lived in Chile for four years. When I missed the US, I would go to Starbucks (they are very fancy in Chile, much nicer than here in USA) or go to McDonald's.
Hey there! I went through something similar when I got married and moved abroad to Europe during the first 5 years of my marriage The hit to our independence thing is something we both feel, even today. Simple example: for medical visits we try to accompany each other when the visit is in the non-native culture of the patient (us). For example, my husband's English is excellent; however, for whatever reason in certain scenarios he has some struggles with understanding and remembering. Perhaps this is because of the difficulty with medical terms or the different multi-cultural accents one can encounter day-to-day in my state. Another silly example is that I usually order the takeout at the drive thru because folks working at our fav spot tend to have non-native English accents and they can never understand his non-native English accent, lol and then everybody starts yelling, lol! When we're in his country, I let him do a lot of the talking since a certain level of formality and that sort of "social greasing of the wheels" are very important in his culture vs the USA. Don't get me wrong. I can get around on my own. It's fine. But it's just easier in some situations to yield to the cultural expert. So basically, we've become somewhat co-dependent when we are in each other's other culture, lol. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.
03:20 lol im the same way, it's hard for me to make friends. I live in Brazil and before I lived in Mexico for 2 years and only made one friend there like real friend. In Brazil so far didn't make any real friends. Like I need to feel the same energy, the same vibes. I don't drink or smoke and don't like parties, so I can't connect most of the people. Which is fine cuz I actually love being alone lol it's better to be alone that with the wrong company.

This is normal you are missing your childhood place. You need to go and to stay a couple of months there. And this will happen all your life. From time to time you will need to go and see your childhood place.
Victoria you are not complaining girl! You are speaking your truth on how you feel and that is OK! It’s hard being away from your family, I couldn’t imagine living full time away. Love visiting Russia and staying two months during the summer but I always come back home lol. Good luck with everything! ❤ Glad to see you guys are doing well.
Greetings Victoria 😊👋 You are so blessed to have wonderful family who loves you. Maybe a family reunion in London or Paris will fun and exciting for you. Maybe enrolling in a class will introduce to knew people with whom you share an interest. Since you have survived Siberia’s freezing temperatures with love and a smile and all of your fingers and toes😁😁 you and Fedor deserve a warm sunny vacation in LA 👍👍👍 return home before your Bali adventure. You are loved!
You extremely brave girl . But I love how you make the best of extreme situations. Also if still you looking for hair products and hair stuff I know a way that can helpful to get it to you ! Best of luck 💕
I'm so worried about you and Fador since this war started. I truly hope you guys are safe and well. And concerned Fador will be sent to fight in in the Ukraine and that would be a horrible outcome. Please respond so we can know you're alright.
I truly understand. When I heard the meltdown, that's what it sounded like. Sadness. I knew you needed to be home. Be brave, it probably won't be long. Sending love to you from Boston, from a grandma. (This next emogee is a hug...🤗🤗)
I know how you feel, dear from personal experience. You don’t miss much ( when you refer to Instagram). It’s life. We all go our different directions. It’s hard not to see your family for so long. If you can, go visit. Or meet them somewhere in France or DR,Mexico. It is a “cost” of adventure. You’ll get through it. Best of luck, sweetie!
Just found this channel, and I'm so happy to see another side of Fedor, whose Russian videos I really enjoy (my wife is from Saratov and I've visited several times). I assume you're in Novosibirsk, and I would say try to enjoy it as much as possible, (if you're still there), as you'll too soon be home, and when will you get a chance to see that again! You two make a great couple .. great to see you!!
I would be home sick even if was was only two hundred miles away from home. The big muddy is me girl. Best get home girl. But proud of you for being open minded. No black girl hair products in Siberia. You love your man you hang in there girl
Aw, Victoria, it happens to all of us and it comes and goes in waves. Are there any other English speaking foreigners or groups in your area? Cultural immersion is great and I know people want to avoid being in the “foreigner bubble,” but sometimes you need others who just get it. Also, I’m not sure how much you care about age but making friends with Aunties and Babushkas who will feed you is easier in all countries 😂
Did you live in Novosibirsk Siberia? If so, have you ever heard of a RUclipsr in Novosibirsk that goes by Philko? He was in a spider 🕷️ man movie (a principal) who runs out of the school as a extra cast. Just wondering what happened to him. Ever since the war with Ukraine he kinda vanished with out any videos which is unlikely for him to do so.
Homesickness sneaks up on you. I never experienced homesickness, but then bam, 9 months after I moved to a different city I got hit hard with homesickness. I don't think I have experienced it since, but it can last a month or two.
So I’m gay. I moved to Mexico with my boyfriend to his home town (Aguascalientes). This was in 2003 (dang I’m old lol). I lived there for 5 years. I was SO homesick but it took like a year maybe a little more. I was having so much fun there. His family was wonderful so that helped. Now Mexico is like my second home.
How is that working as an American in Russia during this war? Would they let you out to go to America? Are there even flights going out of Russia into other countries?
You can always enter your country. US I'd sanctioning Russia, not the other way around. Whatever the case, you can always go to your country...otherwise it's a hostage situation and a big diplomatic row
Victoria why don't u invite your family to Russia for a couple weeks? Of course I don’t know how difficult to do this at the moment due to the situation in the world and schedule of your family, but if there is such a possibility u should think about it🤔
She cannot do that it's too dangerous right now Americans are being locked up on fake charges as a political tool plus there's no flights going there at all and all Russia planes are grounded the ones that did fly over countries airspace they're banned from got confiscated because those planes are only leased to Russia they don't belong to Russia so there's literally no way they can fly without going into other nations airspace illegally.
@@violetsrayreikishop2 Got it. So American government can locked up citizens for fake charges as political tool right now?🤔 Yeah I know but there are legal flights through Turkey, as the airspace between Turkey and Russia is not closed. But flight tickets more expensive now then before
Would ya like to live in a foreignland another fifty years, with a family to raise,, and be buried there??,,,And meanwhile always made to feel like a foreigner??...Thats my oldies who wanted to go back but obstacles kept getting in the way....Think of that,,make a decision... luv the vid btw.
She doesn't have to speak on that topic it's not her business plus it's too dangerous to do so and not everyone speaks on political things, also as black Americans whatever is happening in Europe is really nothing to do with us at all.
u do realize she could be arrested if she says a word? also have u ever said a word about the atrocities america and americans committed in Afghanistan, yemen, syria, iraq, pakistan, etc? Or is it because those are not europeans you dont care? The anti Russian racist sentiment is showing.
Victoria, I have been watching your videos since you were at Hampton University. I know you are bright young woman but it pains me to hear and see you with your head in the sand. There are so many people dying, being uprooted from their homes and suffering because of your host country….please Victoria stop talking about yourself and your minor issues. Wake up!!! Get yourself back home, please.
Don't mix things up. The channel is about her life! Leave and unsabscribe peacefully if you feel her issues are irelevant. Where you are suggesting her to go back to, is also a country that caused a lot of deaths and suffering to people around the world. She is married in Russia and carrying a Russian name now. So let her be on her Chanel.
We just had a mass shooting yesterday at a grocery store. The shooter was targeting Black people. I don't know if you've noticed but Victoria is Black and America has a racist problem. It's not safe for Black people in America now and it never has been. When are people going to hold America accountable for it's genocides and sponsoring genocides in other countries? Why are you telling her to go back to a country where she could be hurt for going to a grocery store or even the hospital because the doctors give poor care to Black people? Victoria is home...in Russia. Leave her be! It's her channel and she can make whatever content she wants.
I know how you feel. I am also an American living in Russia. But Russia is a beautiful country and fun to explore. Best of luck!
Girl, kudos to you lasting this long. It's not easy living in another country. Different language AND being a black woman.. I can't even imagine!

Russia has a lot of black people
I’m just confused on how she’s black and American??
@@sophiebell4649 There are quite a few of us. About 12 million. 😂

Thank you so much!
За месяц проведенный в США я наелся американской еды до конца своих дней .Тоже хотелось домой и нормальной еды .
Главное приехать домой в свою фашистскую страну убивающую украинцев тысячами. Тут круче, тут фашизм как ты любишь.
