I am surprised by a lot of the comments towards Vika and Toyla. About why they are always moving, in rentals, in airBB and housesitting. Do you think it’s so easy to leave one’s country and just buy a house and move in permanently with maybe no money, support system or family? I think none of this is anyone’s business. Vika seems to show where they are moving solely so she can move forward in filming her regularly scheduled videos in the new environment. Gd bless this young couple. They are doing the best they can for their young family.
Probably it´s not so easy to find something and they try to do the best of the situation. I think they are great. Some times you regret things in life and change your mind about what you want to do, that´s life. Sometimes life change things for you and you are forced to adapted to what is coming. It is not always easy, LIFE!
I think, Minimalism has lost it’s appeal.
If you decide to open your life, family & personal living arrangements with the public on a Vlog it’s to be expected that some followers will show an interest & some maybe concerned . The moving was never explained at the time to any great degree, the moves seemed random & sporadic, enough room for speculation.
I completely agree.
Agreed. They're supportive and loving. Its hard to do all this, but they're doing it!!
The last apartment was just for summer,they were housesitting and the people returned to their apartment. They didnt plan another apartment, but the hiuse is not ready for them.
Finally someone else who remembers this 😞 everyone seems to be hating and not listening
@@alexisd8190everyone else needs to take a chill pill then. It’s not their lives, their decisions or really their place to say anything about this family. It’s sad people are this judgemental frankly. If they don’t like it, they can watch something else rather than automatically go to the comments to criticise. 😮
@@caroleberreur9585exactly! Hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊
Thank you for clarifying thats what I thought they were just house sitting and then they are renovating the old house but that is probably going to take time before they can actually live there. I love seeing different styles of living and housing around the world.
She says in this video they will sell the house. And they rented another two houses before they house sitting hor friends
Victoria, you are an intelligent and kind young woman, providing the financial security for your family and others. I can hear the anxiety in your voice, you have so much going on in your life that we in the west would never be able to comprehend, I hope you can find the peace that you deserve. You are an amazing mother and human being. You will make your new home look fantastic. Thank you for sharing a little of your life with us.
She is young, energic and determinate…I for sure know she will handle everything…of course is hard but we, people from Eastern Europe are used with diferent situations….Vika you are amazing and probably very tired with 2 small children and moving but for sure this are life experiences that will help you and enrich you and Tolya.
She is providing what? Neither of them work. She post on youtube with huge breaks between videos.
@loredaadincu7930 I am not sure if you know that these days content creator on youtube/instagram etc is a job ? And you get money from it…
@@loredanadincu7930 rude people need not spend time whining
@@valeriee8579 your comment make no f sense but ok.
as a Ukrainian who had to leave my home town and country because of war last year, I can fully understanding all the moving and the vibe that comes with it. My family and I were moving a lot last year, even more than you did, and I get how tiresome and stressful it is in the end. I wish your family to finally settle for a longer period of time, so that you could find some stability and peace in your lives, and accumulate strength for further steps.
@@ayneguzelyerler Watch the video. Doesn't she explain it in this very video?
@@ayneguzelyerler sorry, are you asking me why they have fled Russia and moved to Georgia instead?
As for the rest, I believe it is as straightforward as it is. The house is in a very rundown condition, in the middle of nowhere, guys have underestimated the effort it took to complete the renovation, and put it on hold, so nothing is really happening with the house, no vlogs to share. Wondering why you think questions are forbidden, if you want clarifications, go ahead and ask.
@@ayneguzelyerlerYou are right. There is no danger in Russia and 140 millions of people live their normal lives up there. They just need to explain somehow, why did they run away, and brainwashed western audience will believe in the reasons that those people give them
Here in Montreal, Canada I took in 4 Ukrainians last year for a month and then helped them to handle their paper work, find a place to live and to find work etc... I was very surprised by their resourceful and resilient attitude. It was a difficult time for them for obvious reasons but they carried on stoically. Three left the country; 2 in Spain and 1 back in Ukraine. The 4th is working at a fairly well paying job in Alberta and living in a communal house with other immigrants. Not easy for sure.
@@GreenForest-mn3xr I see you created the account you are texting from only a month ago, there is no information on your channel, you are a bot spreading kremlin propaganda
The apartment has lots of potential. I would definitely remove all the stuff from the walls and completely paint throughout. Putting all your own furniture and decor in place will really make a difference. Maybe you could make the space between the two bedrooms into an office or playroom for the kids. Can't wait to watch you fix it up and make it nice for you and the family..
I thought a snug or reading nook, but I think a play space away from the main living space would please her too.
I just wondering about about the house they bought and Tolya is working on🤔
I also wondered about the house they bought.
@@berylmadison2363 If you watched the video, you wouldn't wonder because she talked all about that.
@@betsybabf748 yes, I watched it but commented before she explained that since it was later in her video🙃
I believe house tours are my favorite videos on your channel. I don’t care how the house looks, I just love how you tell its story.
This apartment has a good structure and definitely a very specific charm. And the views are indeed spectacular, especially the one from the kitchen and living room windows.
I can’t wait to see how you transform it and put your unique style into it, I am sure it will become a beautiful, warm and cosy environment for your family. ❤️
Omg, all these people asking what happened to the house in the country - WATCH THE VIDEO! She literally explains it all. Good luck with the new apartment, I hope you guys are able to settle for awhile, it's been an awful lot of moving.
I know, right? I was going to go off on people, but I don't have the energy.
Exactly! There are a great deal of ignorant people.
Love this! She literally explains everything, but people are so eager to snipe and comment, that they don't even watch the full video. Well said.
Seriously. Complaining about something she answers very clearly in the video they're complaining about... good lord.
Not everyone watches every single video all the through every time. I was confused, too, and asked about it. Never got an answer but you guys don't need to be so rude just bc not everyone can watch every minute of everything on RUclips. Maybe the community can help the rest of us out, or don't, but don't be so uppity about it. I never complained, I just asked bc I hadn't watched her videos in a while. They don't always pop up every time in my feed.
As someone who has moved 14 times in the last 11 years (since turning 18 and leaving home) I 100% understand the constant stress of perpetual motion. I am hoping my next place can be a home base for several years and hope this will be for you all as well! Good luck with everything!!!
id make the pink room a little bedroom for the girls. at one end their beds and the other a cosy reading nook - with a bookshelf and cushions. love the apartment windows
That's a good idea ❤️
I think it will look very nice after painting, like you mentioned. Ceilings are nice and high, and you have a lot of natural light! Best wishes!
This actually isn’t bad for an old Soviet style apartment. I think this will be great and you’ll add your own personal style. You two are so strong and brave under the circumstances you were thrown into. I don’t know if I’d have the courage and I’m your parent’s age. You’re a beautiful family and I wish you guys nothing but the best!❤️🙏❤️
Your landlady recognises good tenants when she meets them! There are so many nice things you can do to this apartment, with your creative skill. I too like the big windows, and the high ceilings. I hope you have a long and happy stay there.
Agatha is so cute, getting so grown up. Amazing that people ask questions without even watching the video because you explained all about the renovation house right in the video.
I live in Southern Europe and I can tell you... what you do with the moving and renting is so understandable. Rent is high, homes are scarce and most people live in aribnbs and then move and move and move. I hope your house is complete and you can move soon
It kind of reminds me of the first apartment I saw on your channel, and I love the tall ceilings and windows.
she is so sweet and positive!! She seems like she would be the sweetest friend! Love from Canada
You guys are really inspiring. Seeing you so grateful for what you have I realize most of us are too entitled and think we deserve so much more, when we already have all we need.
I so excited for you & your New Apartment I hope to see your shine in your decorating in Your new place 🥰🥰🥰
You can both definitely work your magic on that apartment!
Agatha is so cute and funny! This is a great apartment with lots of room and windows! It will look nice when you get done with it.
That electrical box close to the kitchen sink looks super sketch - good luck guys
Having a home with tons of light is VITAL for your mental health, in my opinion. That apartment will be great once you spruce it up a bit!
I think it’s a great idea to renovate and sell your other home. Can’t wait to see other videos on that :)
Ohhhh, I am so happy about your New Video!! Thank you!
I am so happy for you, for this project. I hope it will lift your spirit and you will feel better!
I’m excited too and can’t wait to follow along with how you make it your home!
Glad to see an update on everything and best wishes with your new apartment!!
I love your sense of humor!! Thank you for the tour!!
Can’t wait to see what you do with the apartment!
Congrats!! Could you buy or build a bookshelf and use it as a divider in the pink room? If you position by the door it will create a sort of hallway. You’d have place for your books, and on the other side it would offer some privacy (Hope that makes sense. Hard to describe lol)
So good you found a good space for your family. The space going into the bedroom could be separated by wall dividers or a curtain on wire all the way across to make your daughter a small room. Look forward to your new adventures.
I’m always happy when we get a new video❤️ That flat is good, has potentials and not so expensive. You can find similars here in Budapest but for higher prices😒
I would think twice the selling of your village house. I think it’s very cute and just imagine the calmed atmosphere it can give, the silent evenings, fresh air, closeness to nature..a lot of things that a flat in the city cannot give. But of course, it’s your decision🥰
And a garden for growing fruits and vegetables
@@Stoffmonster467 yes, not to mention that🙈 something i’m dreaming about🥰
You and Toyla remind me of my husband and myself so many years ago. We moved a lot always fixing places. Oh to have that energy again. The apartment will be so nice when it's finished. Best of luck.
It looks like a fantastic choice! Best of luck with your new home 🥰
Cant wait to see what you guys do with it, great potential!
Love seeing all your adventures, culture and just the general reality of life. Sending you much love and wishing you and your family all the success. Excited to see what you do with the apartment!
I am so excited to see the changes and how you make it your own beautiful home! ✨💖
Oh yay! I didn't expect a new video so early!

I cannot wait to see what you do to the apartment! Congratulations on your new space! 🎉 and thank you for sharing your life with us!
Vika! Another house tour! Congratulations on being so resourceful with the opportunities presented to you.and making everything better for you, your family and others. Can't wait to see how you transform this space. Keep going forward Vika!
Wishing you happiness in your new apartment. It has a lot of potential. Love all the light from the nice windows. Hoping your family will be very happy there.
Great apartment, Vicka! I love the vibe as well. You’ll make it a very nice place to live! Love your videos.
Vika, you are a wonderful traveler. I enjoy how you share your world. The open floor plan is very appealing. Blessings to you and yours ❤❤
I love how adventurous y’all are. So many interesting experiences packed into a small space of time. ❤️
keep showing all your travels. I love seeing when you go into these little towns and you go into the places and you can eat the authentic food and see the authentic countryside.❤❤.... all the places you've shown are so beautiful
Love the high ceilings and big windows. I know you'll make it beautiful. It has a lot of potential. Sounds like you have good solid plans for the future. Have fun decorating. That will be a blast! Looking forward to seeing what it will look like!
It’s always so great to watch your videos. I love seeing your updates and Agatha is so cute! Getting so grown up! ❤ Be safe and well, Vika & family!
Congrats on your new apartment! A little paint will go a long way and make your new place much more cheerful. Enjoy!
I agree with you. The windows really make that apartment. Great for lighting. I like this video!😊❤
So nice to see u again! Always look forward to seeing what ur up to.
😊❤
Loved this video 😊 it’s so interesting to follow your journey!
Looks like it suits your family! Im excited you'll be able to be settled for at least a year, im sure you are too, with all the changes, moves, growing your family that has been the last year or so! Wish the best and looking forward to more of your story!😊
It's good to see you feeling more enthusiastic, even though you find yourself moving again. Blessings on your new home. ❣🙏🏻❣
You will create a beautiful space for you and your family!! You have a wonderful taste! Btw you are all so strong!! Keep going, you are doing great and amazing with everything you are going through! Love your content and your energy! You guys are amazing! Much love and light from a family in Bulgaria ❤
I ❤️ all of the natural light coming onto your new apartment. It looks like a wonderful home for you and your family. I can't wait to see how your renovations change the look of the place. 😊
Love windows! Good luck in this new apartment! I’m sure it will be great
I can't wait to see the changes you made to your new little home 😊 I enjoyed seeing the transformation of the abandoned home you were renovating. How exciting ❤
Victoria you will renovate your apartment to your liking and be happy. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. Love all the windows and the countryside view.
I love it! And what I love the very most is your wonderful, positive attitude. What a great mother you are (and of course, the same to your counterpart, Tolya, for being a supportive and happy teammate and companion). Thank you for the tour. ❤
Hi Vika! Congratulations on the new apartment. Cannot wait to see the updates. How is your house coming along too?
The windows and the trees outside are so beautiful!! Best of luck in the new apartment :)
It is amazing what a difference just some paint makes! I believe you will have this apartment looking adorable and cozy soon. :) You have such an eye for designing/decorating and Tolya is so handy with crafting. You two make the perfect team! Best of luck.
Victoria , thanks for the up date on the house you and your husband baught ! So great to see you all again !
I’m looking forward to seeing what you do in the apartment. I know you will make it lovely.
It’s going to be great! Can’t wait to see you all moved in. Wonderful windows! Your dress is beautiful as is your daughter!
Grateful your family has a new apartment. Our support and love are with you and your sweet family.
It’s good to see you settled in a new, bright apartment. Thrilled to hear about your ministry involvement!
I am so impressed how you can see this apartments potential! I can imagine the large windows and views give you the lightness and brightness and connection to your surroundings that would make even the most basic space feel more inhabitable. And knowing the building itself was well-built fits in with your aesthetic of homemade things. I would recommend spending the money for the cleaning service. I hope the renovation and sale of the desert house gives you some much needed stability and breathing space, especially for when Agatha starts school.
I hope everything works out for you and your family, looking forward to seeing how your apartment looks after it is painted and your furniture is in, See you in your next vlog.
I love how you can see the potential, it is a beautiful apartment. The windows, high ceilings, and views are definitely worth it!
This needs definitely a bit of love and creativity...
Good luck in your new home. ❤ 🍀
Really hope this new apartment is a place of joy, peace and happiness for you and such a blessing to you and all who come through its doors.
You guys are great parents and are doing so well!! Fight the good fight! ❤️
I 💜 how EXCITED you are about renovating your new apartment. You look much happier now. It's great that you have the FREEDOM to do what you want to the apartment. You can enjoy your new home and make it yours. I love your windows too!! Stay safe and I wish you the best
Very nice large apartment 👍. Lots of room for your family Victoria. 🥰
Always enjoy your channel ✨
Good luck, Vika! You are a brave family, I admire you!
i love the windows and i think once it has been painted and new furniture it will be so cute! also love that kind of landlord who just leaves you alone! 😂 can’t wait to see the renovations!
your videos are becoming my positivity dose and you really add to my perspective of life. I feel more content and grateful with life as this is the vibe I get from you.
thank you for another lovely video!
Sending you many blessings! It will be a lovely, light filled home.
That is a cute apartment. I love the window's and the high ceilings. It will make a beautiful home, just needs some nice paint, and furniture. Congratulations!
Congratulations and I totally 6:07 agree: The windows are great! You have a blank canvas to decorate as YOU please. Take your time and enjoy making it cozy and your own style ❤
Idk how you guys are able to move so much, but you guys seem to handle it very well. You have an amazing attitude about it all, and its so nice to see. Its easy to get frustrated, but its nice to see you and your family holding it together.
Congratulations on your new apartment, Vika, Tolya, Agatha, Adelina and pets, and on reaching a decision on the house. I wish you every success and happiness and look forward to each new step in your journey, as you feel led to share. Blessed be. 💖
I love your video’s, it gives me motivation and very calming ❤ you’re my favourite RUclipsr!
I can tell you’re happy with this new(old) apartment, as your tone of voice is so much happier sounding. I too would so love the light coming in and definitely would change the kitchen and paint colors. That stove is quite odd. I hope you can change that out for cheap. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do and wish I was there to help. 😊
Thank you for sharing ❤ best of luck! It’s gonna look great :)
I love your videos, I am so happy that you found a new apartment! It looks really nice and after the renovation it will be super cozy. Congratulations!
So glad to see your smiling faces as always. It seems like you are feeling a bit better, Victoria. You a such a deep well of strength and wisdom. Stay strong, sister.
Those windows and the views out of them are gorgeous. Love the tall ceilings in the place too. Look forward to seeing your upgrades of the place. The little middle room is nice for the girls’ bedroom & playroom. 😊
Hello! I love your flat. It's light and roomy! I hope your winter is warm and comfortable! I can't believe how big Agatha is getting! Sending love and hugs to you all! ❤❤😊
Hello Victoria! This is a nice accomodation in order to spend a quiet winter waiting for the country cottage renovation The flat is indeed very bright and the light which enters from the windows is really fantastic. You look very happy: the flat has a Russian style and now you can rest for a while!! Thanks a lot for sharing and a big hug to you all.
The light is amazing& views are amazing! You guys will make it a lovely place to live, it has loads of possibilities. Congratulations on your next home.
Hi Vika, I can’t wait till you show us what you will do with the apartment.
Also when you finish renovating your country house it will be great to see that.
You and your beautiful family are an inspiration.
I’m pleased you are not as exhausted as you were on your last video when you had had continuous visitors for quite a while.
God bless your decisions. He is certainly guiding you ❤❤❤❤
I love windows, it’s my number one feature I look for when moving, and if it doesn’t have big windows, as long as it has a good amount of natural light, I’m happy. This apartment will look great when you’re done with it, I’ve always loved watching your different apartments and what you do with it, and also the minimalism. You’ve inspired me to start downsizing and decluttering. Love you guys!
What a lovely apartment this will be! I mean those windows are just stunning! Windows are the soul of a home for me, they make all the difference.
Hope you'll be cosy and comfortable in the winter ahead 😍
