I've just re-read George Orwell's Animal Farm, about the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. Perhaps most interesting are the footnotes about how difficult it was to get the book published. This was at the end of WW2 and the Russians were our allies. You could say what you liked about Churchill, but to suggest Stalin was a cold blooded murderer, or just an authoritarian dictator - as he was - was a diplomatic faux pas. In fact there were people who claimed to be liberals, who saw Communism as the future, and Russia as its beacon. No doubt the useful idiots today who put Russian propaganda on RUclips are cut from the same cloth.

The coup was seen as undermining Putin's authority. There is much puzzlement on what will happen to Preghorzin now, particularly as he still appears to be free to speak publicly. I wish the Western apologists for Russia had to live the lives of ordinary Russian people in Russia for a few years.

As a US Marine with over a decade of experience. The corruption and state propaganda "aka lies" that are FED to every person in Russia is sickening. I personally question everything. Freedom and the truth. ✌️
I think that Russian society needs to grasp and understand the concept that new sex-hormonal and puberty-control technologies have divorced sex and gender from each other and made gender fluid , depending upon the medical technologies brought to bear. There's actually a very simple and highly reliable way to ascertain the sex of a person: grab at the person's crotch and determine whether one or two balls are there. If there is one or two, the person is probably a male; if zero, female. This is unfortunately unacceptable for practical usage in most if not all societies. Some Western societies simply provide three lavatories: one for men, one for women, and one in the middle especially well-equipped, roomy, and lockable from inside for everyone else. The U. S. A. by the law "Americans with Disabilities Act" must accommodate the needs of the people with disabilities so the especially well-equipped lavatory is usually used for accommodating disabled people's needs.
Natasha, it is very difficult for me, a Canadian (born and raised here), to grasp the nuances of Russian life but your videos help me with that. For that, I thank you. I wish you well. Stay safe.
AS Ukrainian, I honestly DO NOT wish anything bad for this girl but at the same time she is still russian to me that DID NOT do anything with the rest of russians for over 20 years. She was part of their culture and saw all of it. russia is country of slaves if i have to be short they have no will to find for their own Freedom. russia should have been the richest country right now with all of the recources they have but they allowed a small group of people in power to become Billionaires when the rest barely make it. for Westerner, it is hard to understand russians but we Ukrainians know them pretty good and majority of them support this war so i have no pity towards them anymore. FUCK RUSSIA and All of russians that support this war. SLAVA YKRAINI
I believe Natasha is just capitalizing on western perceptions and bias, if you want the real situation of what is going on in Russia, you have to visit bloggers that actually report from inside Russia.
@@ernstwiltmann3918 Yes, I watch those as well; however, those inside Russian's borders are seriously constrained in what they can say without putting themselves in danger. In that sense, it is Russian ex-pats who might be able to provide a more honest and complete assessment.
Thanks for the update Natasha ... Good to get the real news from a local ... To me it is Obvious that Prigozhin has a limited time to live ... especially the way pootin hands out justice !!!
@@alan- yes Russia and USA are the wrong side. The Ukrainian people are the victims of their political games. Like the people of so many countries in the 20th century were victims of the Cold War. I believe that the Ukraine war is more a battle between USA and China, USA trying to maintain its global hegemony and China the threat to that hegemony. USA is on the wrong side of this Cold War between USA and China.
And that would be just so great if citizens from western (NATO) countries did the same and expressed their frustration with their respective home country…
It is very good to see you and your pigeon again Natasha. In the USA this event was covered by most media but as others have pointed out it was only a general account and it had no in depth information. Thank you so much for sharing all of your insight into this situation. It is important for us to hear. My best to you. Peace to all.
I've been taking in a lot of reporting and analysis on the coup, the majority of which isn't from mainstream media. The tactical details, the geopolitical consequences, the international legal ripples, what frontline soldiers say. You've added breadth to my perspective. Without hearing what an affected civilian has to say, it's all to easy to lose the context of what's going on. Thank you for speaking and for pointing out the nuance of word choice that can only be noticed by an expert.
All irrelevant. Wagner managed to move from the South all the way to the border with Kyiv in a few days with 10,000+ men and more coming with over 400 heavy vehicles with them. All the Russian equipment transferred to Belarus last year for the 6th division is also still there. They're planning something from the North again. If you think Russia has any problems blowing up one of its own helicopters or causing a little bit of a scene, you must have missed the planned apartment bombings in Chechen war era to justify a 2nd war.
@@themarketm8382 You're only thinking of Russia in the present. China's domestic issues, Turkey's re-evaluation of foreign affairs, what this might mean in Africa, etc. Prighozin's "march of justice" has ripples beyond this war.
@@Psieye And you're dooming like everyone else. Nothing has changed, China has issues like every country but they will go on like everyone else. Turkey has been playing both sides for years when they're members of NATO but yet support ISIS in Northern Syria/Iraq & fight against US backed Kurds. Africa will stay getting looted by us colonizers to feed our consumption, no matter who's in charge. And lastly, Prigozhin's "march of justice" wasn't real. Russia had the entire 1st guard's tank army stationed in Belgorod along with the 6th army, we're talking 150-200k men, 1000s of tanks & vehicles , as big an invasion force as the start of the war. Funny how the Southern MoD command was untouched, the entire tank storage facilities untouched, airfields untouched, Wagner's HQ untouched etc... do you not know Wagner shares a base with the GRU in the South, it's literally controlled by Utkin who's recently been on video on Belarus talking to the soldiers, a GRU member. C'mon, stop deepthroating the mainstream news and do some realistic research. Wagner moved an entire army to Belarus and is operating like an enemy of Russia, meanwhile they're undergoing training with Belarus, Russia's 6th division and all the weapons sent by Russia in the Winter is still there. They have another invasion force forming there.
Very thoughtful and sincere ... as always. Thank you Natasha. I'll look forward to videos debunking the propaganda being flooded into the internet. Cheers!
Oh yeah she's just in a position to debauch anything right?? She's a frigging coward who ran from her country a year ago and it's sitting here in some other country trying to tell people what ordinary Russians think and you fall for it. She's in no position to preach about anything she ran from it like it doesn't exist and now to get her likes and views she gets chad's like you to fall for her bulshit
Thank you Natasha for that update. It was good to see you - and you presented your talk well. Just make sure you keep safe until you can become what you want to become in a safer better Russia. So eat good food - no sugar and no processed food. And all the best to you. You are a good person. An asset to Russia. Take care.
Thanks for share all this information with us. Are you in risk so that? You are very brave. Please, care yourself. I like so much your videos. I don't want any bad happen to you.
Thank you, Natasha. I appreciate your intelligence and ability to explain these complex issues. You are truly an inspiration and our world needs more people like you. Please stay safe and keep up the good work.
I've been trying to follow the coup / civil war / whatever in Russia ever since it happened, and I couldn't begin to understand it. Yours was the best explanation I've seen or heard by a significant margin. Thanks!
"Redacted" has very good coverage of the military operation in Ukraine and explained the coup very well. Just another resource since truth is the first casualty of war.
@@rjkubryou must be joking, redacted is a hive of lies and Ztards! This is one of the worst anti Ukrainian channels on RUclips! Pure propaganda and misinformation! 🤷
@@rjkubr Is it really a "Coup" if most of the population was trying to loegally vote to join Russia? The videos for a decade before this broke out are still mostly up on youtube. "Crimea Votes Overwhelmingly to Join Russia" "Crimean parliament votes to join Russia" " The Day Crimea Rejoined Russia: Russian Roulette in Ukraine" Shows quite plainly that its not a simple as "Russia attack Ukraine" Nothing in the world is Ever that simple.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 I totally agree with you but certainly didn't express myself well. The Maiden coup started it all. The subsequent bombing & terrorism by Ukraine on the Russian citizens of Ukraine, Russia's military operation & the "attempted coup" by Wagner all followed. This guy explains the post-Maiden situation perfectly. ruclips.net/video/XOa42J4M0hk/видео.html. Though not a perfect comparison, Russia's actions in Ukraine are similar to Vietnam "invading" Cambodia in the 1970s to rid the country of Pol Pot. There may have been other politics involved but the result turned out to be God's work in the end.
Thank you for the video. I love the idea you mentioned of making videos commenting on others trying to make daily life look normal in Russia. That would be very interesting.
Societies are no different from materials of different kinds. Every one of them has an elastic limit beyond which normal elastic behavior fails to exist. Russia hasn't exhausted all of its reserves built up over years so Moscow is indeed still normal. All reserves don't last forever and economic statistics already show significant strain in Russia's economy so inelasticity or brittleness is imminent.
Thank you Natasha for being a member first and foremost of the human race you are a great example to all of humanity. Perhaps other Russians who do not understand this responsibility will take note and learn what their first responsibility is.
Here in Norway they said more or less what you said about the coup. That the Russian governments pride took a hit, and that this event might be the beginning of the end of the regime. My personal opinion is that i don't think it will be by this. I see signs that Prigozhin drove his points home, despite the "treason", and changes to the military seems to happen. I too hoped it would have created enough turmoil to get a revolution going. But as you say, many people supported it for the wrong reasons. Anyway, great to see you again, And looking forward to the next videos on debunking stuff. 🤘😎
This is a great video, Natasha, with some real perspective. Thank you for your insight. If someone really loves their country, they aren't afraid to speak their mind and call out the BS. This description fits you, Natasha. You are not afraid, and you share this wisdom in ways that people can understand. God bless, stay safe and enjoy life! ❤🌹
It wasn't a coup attempt, it was a contract negotiation Russian style. Prigozhin was facing Wagner troops under his command being forced under contract to the Russian "military", and decided to take his chances and secure as much of his wealth and control as he could, while he still had the men to do it.
Absolutely. Natasha is too young and too naive in order to figure that out by herself. She translates the events way too straight forward, hence the truth behind the scenes is all about the money, even if it requires some rotten moves. Anyway, I like her inexperienced/naive way of observing the world. Makes me kinda believe that not all people out there are scum.
I still think it's a death sentence, Putain needs Prigozhin right now, but at some point that will change. I bet he suffers a "heart attack" in the future.
@@jazz1tupagreed...she needs to live in the west for a while to understand our media is just as bad and our governments need no complimentary comments.
Yes. No one knows for certain as its extremely difficult to get credible information and and info is so tightly controlled but this is most likely. Either way its interesting to see her perspective as im sure many young russians have this perspective.
@@paddyt4043 I'll be honest, from a person who neither lives on west, nor east... Even tho dictatorship and censorship are things that adorn eastern world, for me, more utopian seems western one, with its all deranged values finely packed in a pandoras box called 'democracy and freedom', but in fact you get brainwashing and cancelation if you don't play by their rules
Lots of respect for you, Natasha. Your clear moral stance and willingness to share it with the world are an inspiration. The uncertainty of life in exile must be tough, but all this difficulty seems to have strengthened you. I hope someday you will be able to again travel freely, both within Russia and about the world. Take care.
Well said. She has more courage than any1 i ever met in my own life...its hard for me not to admire her like some dum lil fan boy...even tho im really an old ass dude who is deaf from playing metal music....god im pathetic compared to her n her frnds.
Natasha I think this presentation was Great. A clear and truthful description of the disaster unfolding in Russia. I am so glad to see you are safe and I hope healthy. Please continue your work.
Prigozhin reminds me of Trotsky to some extent, and all the wild scenes of the Russian revolution. Of course here in America there is a similar array of lunatic politicians and self destructive fiascos. Thank you for your objective reporting, and political common sense.
Really well presented view from a personal perspective. Hope you have a chance to develop a good life for yourself, either in exile, or back, helping, in a new, reforming Russia.
Thanks for a very thorough break down. The UK (and western media too I suppose) was pretty much the same coverage of the coup. Although they solely focused on people welcoming Pirgozhin (not the sandwiches 😂) and not on the negative reactions of the public towards him or Wagner. But never had I been so informed until this video especially about the mems lol. Your pigeon must have had a good coup at that😅 ( In British and American English we call the noise a pigeon makes a 'Coo' or 'Cooing ' 😉) Thanks Natasha 🙂
@@meatrealwishes I though that was the week before it? But you are probably right. But I did see a CNN US reporter on my phone. It was pretty much identical to UK coverage.
Didn’t expect a lesson of Russian verbs of motion (глаголы движение) in a Prigozhin video! As one Russian teacher says, one does not simply say “go” in Russian 😅
I remember seeing fear on my Russian teacher's face when I first tried to use an action verb in a sentence. "Are you going and planning on returning, or is this a trip you take often?"
Thank you for all your very important information you bring to us, Natasha. You are truly an angel. However, I feel bad for you having to spend your young years in these sad circumstances. Hoping that one day you can live another, a better life. As well as all those involved in this war - unwillingly.
Natasha your videos are amazing and I think that regardless of what you do, you will be great at it. I realize you are feeling very emotional about the way people are being treated in Russia, if ever you need to vent l am happy to listen.
Excellent to hear your perspective on this whole episode. We in the west are still rather confused about what happened, but nonetheless every day there is another article saying what really happened or didn't happen. I think the reality is that we don't yet know all of what happened, but I agree that it is evidence that Putin's regime is weaker than was previously realized. Keep up your spirits, and thank you for making such an interesting variety of videos from a perspective I (living in Austin, Texas, USA) never otherwise get.
Жаль что русские люди которые могли бы западному человеку объяснить и рассказать правду, так нет наоборот продолжают вещать туже лож что и западная пропаганда.
I'm a fan of Natasha, but my friend, she's a vlogger. Not a journalist. Or an analyst. She hasn't done any investigative reporting, and she's not acting as a citizen journalist. What "journalistic skills" are you talking about?
I love it how you as a graduated linguist disect and explain the deeper meaning of the words. For me - currently learning Russian - this is a great insight into the felling for the idioms of your language. Thank you ver much for this great analysis and video. I am looking forward for more.
Seems like a confusing language. Based on this video it seems like the language lends itself well to what Orwell called "NEWSPEAK"/ "DUCKSPEAK". It makes me wonder if he was aware of any linguistic mechanics of the Russian language especially kbowing the 2 nations in 1984 were pretty much supposed to b3 future versions of USA n Russia and or east vs. West.
Natasha - you are proof the 'the pen is mightier than the sword.' Just my opinion - you have found your calling in life - journalism - keep doing what you are doing because you are making the world a better place with your reporting. Stay safe and keep going forward!
@@brinjoness3386why? It is clear most people in most country suffer from apathy. If you fail to realise that it is your credibility that is questionable.
I love this channel because of its honest and very well reflected content. I wish all people would analyse and build their own reasonable opinion. But I guess only a minority is smart enough to do so which leads to the never ending desasters we have in this human world.
Thank you Natasha. My take - I think there was some truth to the fact that ammo and supplies meant for Wagner were missing. Prigozhin knew that senior government commanders were stealing funds and was having to fund Wagner’s war himself. Bottom line - he was owed money and moved on Moscow until they paid up. He has the same mindset as a thief, he knows how it works.
He was hoarding ammo. That’s what US satellites spotted but Igor girkin openly warned that Prigo was readying a coup. Ukraine announced everything about wagner was normal the day he posted his meme video. however, kremlin still hasn’t launched investigation on whether shoigu actually attacked prigo’s fighters.
Really interesting to hear the Russian perspective of this, from an actually honest Russian, and not some vatnik comment troll warrior. You pick up on nuances that media here in the West don't. It was hilarious by the way, during the coup, all the vatnik spammers got silent on twitter and in youtube comment fields for many hours! And you DO have a voice, Natasha! Almost 100K people have watched this video! We hear you!

Best regards !

www.youtube.com/@DenysDavydov/videos He is pretty fair too.
As a US Marine with over a decade of experience. The corruption and state propaganda "aka lies" that are FED to every person in Russia is sickening. I personally question everything.
Freedom and the truth. ✌️
@@trevorhinkle lol you’re not a U.S Marine. And btw. It’s not PrOpAgAnDa to tell people they can’t transition their gender 🤷♂️
I agree and I'm pretty sure Natasha (and friends) overcame the propaganda many years ago👍
I think that Russian society needs to grasp and understand the concept that new sex-hormonal and puberty-control technologies have divorced sex and gender from each other and made gender fluid , depending upon the medical technologies brought to bear.
There's actually a very simple and highly reliable way to ascertain the sex of a person: grab at the person's crotch and determine whether one or two balls are there. If there is one or two, the person is probably a male; if zero, female.
This is unfortunately unacceptable for practical usage in most if not all societies.
Some Western societies simply provide three lavatories: one for men, one for women, and one in the middle especially well-equipped, roomy, and lockable from inside for everyone else.
The U. S. A. by the law "Americans with Disabilities Act" must accommodate the needs of the people with disabilities so the especially well-equipped lavatory is usually used for accommodating disabled people's needs.
well done all around , Natasha
Thanks for the excellent review of the event! Great to see you, you look very well!
Natasha, it is very difficult for me, a Canadian (born and raised here), to grasp the nuances of Russian life but your videos help me with that. For that, I thank you. I wish you well. Stay safe.
AS Ukrainian, I honestly DO NOT wish anything bad for this girl but at the same time she is still russian to me that DID NOT do anything with the rest of russians for over 20 years. She was part of their culture and saw all of it. russia is country of slaves if i have to be short they have no will to find for their own Freedom. russia should have been the richest country right now with all of the recources they have but they allowed a small group of people in power to become Billionaires when the rest barely make it. for Westerner, it is hard to understand russians but we Ukrainians know them pretty good and majority of them support this war so i have no pity towards them anymore. FUCK RUSSIA and All of russians that support this war. SLAVA YKRAINI
Definitely stay safe.
I believe Natasha is just capitalizing on western perceptions and bias, if you want the real situation of what is going on in Russia, you have to visit bloggers that actually report from inside Russia.
@@bengreatorex502 Thank you!
@@ernstwiltmann3918 Yes, I watch those as well; however, those inside Russian's borders are seriously constrained in what they can say without putting themselves in danger. In that sense, it is Russian ex-pats who might be able to provide a more honest and complete assessment.
That had to be one of the strangest coups in history.
Thanks for the update Natasha ... Good to get the real news from a local ... To me it is Obvious that Prigozhin has a limited time to live ... especially the way pootin hands out justice !!!
Stay safe and stay loud, Natasha! Your voice is being heard, and it is important. Bless you!
Thank you for this update, cheers from Canada!
Natasha, you are a light in this dark world. I hope you never give up fighting for what’s good and right.
Thank you for this video Natasha. It's so important for people to hear from sensitive and thoughtful Russians like you!
Good to hear from you Natasha! Thanks and be safe. Keep showing the example of a russian on the right side of this terrible invasion.
There is no “right side”.
@@keyboardoracle1044 Well there certainly is a wrong side, wouldn't you agree?
@@alan- yes Russia and USA are the wrong side. The Ukrainian people are the victims of their political games. Like the people of so many countries in the 20th century were victims of the Cold War. I believe that the Ukraine war is more a battle between USA and China, USA trying to maintain its global hegemony and China the threat to that hegemony. USA is on the wrong side of this Cold War between USA and China.
Stop supplying the arms and get both sides to talk. Stop throwing away billions and destroying more lives.
@@keyboardoracle1044orcs invaded Ukraine. Pretty clear who is in the wrong…
thanks for this video... i appreciate especially when you give your opinion - it is really insightful
🇨🇦 Natasha, that was a very powerful, well presented video. You make it so easy to understand your frustrations with your home country. Stay well. 💚
And that would be just so great if citizens from western (NATO) countries did the same and expressed their frustration with their respective home country…
Thank you for this video. You give a lot of great perspective from an 'insider' that we do not see in our media coverage of the situation.
It is very good to see you and your pigeon again Natasha. In the USA this event was covered by most media but as others have pointed out it was only a general account and it had no in depth information. Thank you so much for sharing all of your insight into this situation. It is important for us to hear. My best to you. Peace to all.
Great analysis!
love your videos Natasha!
I've been taking in a lot of reporting and analysis on the coup, the majority of which isn't from mainstream media. The tactical details, the geopolitical consequences, the international legal ripples, what frontline soldiers say. You've added breadth to my perspective. Without hearing what an affected civilian has to say, it's all to easy to lose the context of what's going on. Thank you for speaking and for pointing out the nuance of word choice that can only be noticed by an expert.
All irrelevant. Wagner managed to move from the South all the way to the border with Kyiv in a few days with 10,000+ men and more coming with over 400 heavy vehicles with them. All the Russian equipment transferred to Belarus last year for the 6th division is also still there. They're planning something from the North again.
If you think Russia has any problems blowing up one of its own helicopters or causing a little bit of a scene, you must have missed the planned apartment bombings in Chechen war era to justify a 2nd war.
@@themarketm8382 You're only thinking of Russia in the present. China's domestic issues, Turkey's re-evaluation of foreign affairs, what this might mean in Africa, etc. Prighozin's "march of justice" has ripples beyond this war.
@@Psieye And you're dooming like everyone else. Nothing has changed, China has issues like every country but they will go on like everyone else. Turkey has been playing both sides for years when they're members of NATO but yet support ISIS in Northern Syria/Iraq & fight against US backed Kurds. Africa will stay getting looted by us colonizers to feed our consumption, no matter who's in charge. And lastly, Prigozhin's "march of justice" wasn't real. Russia had the entire 1st guard's tank army stationed in Belgorod along with the 6th army, we're talking 150-200k men, 1000s of tanks & vehicles , as big an invasion force as the start of the war. Funny how the Southern MoD command was untouched, the entire tank storage facilities untouched, airfields untouched, Wagner's HQ untouched etc... do you not know Wagner shares a base with the GRU in the South, it's literally controlled by Utkin who's recently been on video on Belarus talking to the soldiers, a GRU member.
C'mon, stop deepthroating the mainstream news and do some realistic research. Wagner moved an entire army to Belarus and is operating like an enemy of Russia, meanwhile they're undergoing training with Belarus, Russia's 6th division and all the weapons sent by Russia in the Winter is still there. They have another invasion force forming there.
@@Psieyethis war has ripples beyond this war too. Wagner is just one aspect of that reality.
Very thoughtful and sincere ... as always. Thank you Natasha. I'll look forward to videos debunking the propaganda being flooded into the internet. Cheers!
Oh yeah she's just in a position to debauch anything right?? She's a frigging coward who ran from her country a year ago and it's sitting here in some other country trying to tell people what ordinary Russians think and you fall for it. She's in no position to preach about anything she ran from it like it doesn't exist and now to get her likes and views she gets chad's like you to fall for her bulshit
@@badmonkey2222 hello monkey 🐒🤡
Thank you Natasha. It is very sad, but also very valuable, to understand what this series of disasters looks like from your position.
What a great video! I’ve been following you for years now and have seen the evolution of your content. I love your hair length
Brava and Thanks for your clips, despite any opinion about who’s guilty in this difficult war.
Good coverage of this event Natasha. I saw it in the news here but it was a bit confusing as to what was going on-I knew there had to be more to it
Thank you Natasha for that update. It was good to see you - and you presented your talk well. Just make sure you keep safe until you can become what you want to become in a safer better Russia. So eat good food - no sugar and no processed food. And all the best to you. You are a good person. An asset to Russia. Take care.
I do not know how is it possible that Natasha left the matrix 🤔 huge respect ❤
Thanks for share all this information with us. Are you in risk so that? You are very brave. Please, care yourself. I like so much your videos. I don't want any bad happen to you.
You are such a brave girl !!
Very good analysis , i wish you all the best !!

Thank you, Natasha. I appreciate your intelligence and ability to explain these complex issues. You are truly an inspiration and our world needs more people like you. Please stay safe and keep up the good work.
She is not going on a date with you man, chill 🤣
The pigeon: Coup! Coup!
Good to hear from you again Natasha
WOW! look how far you come young lady... good job.
I've been trying to follow the coup / civil war / whatever in Russia ever since it happened, and I couldn't begin to understand it. Yours was the best explanation I've seen or heard by a significant margin. Thanks!
"Redacted" has very good coverage of the military operation in Ukraine and explained the coup very well. Just another resource since truth is the first casualty of war.
@@rjkubryou must be joking, redacted is a hive of lies and Ztards! This is one of the worst anti Ukrainian channels on RUclips!
Pure propaganda and misinformation! 🤷
@@rjkubr Is it really a "Coup" if most of the population was trying to loegally vote to join Russia? The videos for a decade before this broke out are still mostly up on youtube. "Crimea Votes Overwhelmingly to Join Russia" "Crimean parliament votes to join Russia" " The Day Crimea Rejoined Russia: Russian Roulette in Ukraine"
Shows quite plainly that its not a simple as "Russia attack Ukraine" Nothing in the world is Ever that simple.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 I totally agree with you but certainly didn't express myself well. The Maiden coup started it all. The subsequent bombing & terrorism by Ukraine on the Russian citizens of Ukraine, Russia's military operation & the "attempted coup" by Wagner all followed. This guy explains the post-Maiden situation perfectly. ruclips.net/video/XOa42J4M0hk/видео.html. Though not a perfect comparison, Russia's actions in Ukraine are similar to Vietnam "invading" Cambodia in the 1970s to rid the country of Pol Pot. There may have been other politics involved but the result turned out to be God's work in the end.
Thank you for the video. I love the idea you mentioned of making videos commenting on others trying to make daily life look normal in Russia. That would be very interesting.
Societies are no different from materials of different kinds. Every one of them has an elastic limit beyond which normal elastic behavior fails to exist.
Russia hasn't exhausted all of its reserves built up over years so Moscow is indeed still normal. All reserves don't last forever and economic statistics already show significant strain in Russia's economy so inelasticity or brittleness is imminent.
Thank you Natasha for being a member first and foremost of the human race you are a great example to all of humanity. Perhaps other Russians who do not understand this responsibility will take note and learn what their first responsibility is.
HUH?
Very well explained, thanks
Great video. Thank u. Kind Regards from Germany!
Here in Norway they said more or less what you said about the coup. That the Russian governments pride took a hit, and that this event might be the beginning of the end of the regime.
My personal opinion is that i don't think it will be by this. I see signs that Prigozhin drove his points home, despite the "treason", and changes to the military seems to happen.
I too hoped it would have created enough turmoil to get a revolution going. But as you say, many people supported it for the wrong reasons.
Anyway, great to see you again, And looking forward to the next videos on debunking stuff. 🤘😎
This is a great video, Natasha, with some real perspective. Thank you for your insight. If someone really loves their country, they aren't afraid to speak their mind and call out the BS. This description fits you, Natasha. You are not afraid, and you share this wisdom in ways that people can understand. God bless, stay safe and enjoy life! ❤🌹
I appreciate hearing your perspective. You are very articulate and authentic. ❤
Greetings from north Carolina, be safe Natasha' !
Natasha, thank you for doing these video's. Your English is OUTSTANDING!!!🌹👌
It wasn't a coup attempt, it was a contract negotiation Russian style. Prigozhin was facing Wagner troops under his command being forced under contract to the Russian "military", and decided to take his chances and secure as much of his wealth and control as he could, while he still had the men to do it.
Absolutely. Natasha is too young and too naive in order to figure that out by herself. She translates the events way too straight forward, hence the truth behind the scenes is all about the money, even if it requires some rotten moves. Anyway, I like her inexperienced/naive way of observing the world. Makes me kinda believe that not all people out there are scum.
I still think it's a death sentence, Putain needs Prigozhin right now, but at some point that will change. I bet he suffers a "heart attack" in the future.
@@jazz1tupagreed...she needs to live in the west for a while to understand our media is just as bad and our governments need no complimentary comments.
Yes. No one knows for certain as its extremely difficult to get credible information and and info is so tightly controlled but this is most likely. Either way its interesting to see her perspective as im sure many young russians have this perspective.
@@paddyt4043 I'll be honest, from a person who neither lives on west, nor east... Even tho dictatorship and censorship are things that adorn eastern world, for me, more utopian seems western one, with its all deranged values finely packed in a pandoras box called 'democracy and freedom', but in fact you get brainwashing and cancelation if you don't play by their rules
Lots of respect for you, Natasha. Your clear moral stance and willingness to share it with the world are an inspiration. The uncertainty of life in exile must be tough, but all this difficulty seems to have strengthened you. I hope someday you will be able to again travel freely, both within Russia and about the world. Take care.
Well said. She has more courage than any1 i ever met in my own life...its hard for me not to admire her like some dum lil fan boy...even tho im really an old ass dude who is deaf from playing metal music....god im pathetic compared to her n her frnds.
Natasha I think this presentation was Great. A clear and truthful description of the disaster unfolding in Russia. I am so glad to see you are safe and I hope healthy. Please continue your work.
I hope you stay safe. Such a wonderful person in and out. Love your videos. All the best from England

Thanks for posting your comments. Very informative.
A whole country ruled by a bunch of criminals...
Vlad Vexler said it best. It’s like finding out your local village priest is also the village thief.
Prigozhin just ran out of Vodka 🍾🍻🍸
Thank you for your honesty regarding the war with Ukraine and the uprising. Stay safe Natasha and I wish you well.
Good to see your videos taking off, by the way!
Natasha, you are a breath of fresh air.
Prigozhin reminds me of Trotsky to some extent, and all the wild scenes of the Russian revolution. Of course here in America there is a similar array of lunatic politicians and self destructive fiascos. Thank you for your objective reporting, and political common sense.
Really well presented view from a personal perspective. Hope you have a chance to develop a good life for yourself, either in exile, or back, helping, in a new, reforming Russia.
Thanks for a very thorough break down. The UK (and western media too I suppose) was pretty much the same coverage of the coup. Although they solely focused on people welcoming Pirgozhin (not the sandwiches 😂) and not on the negative reactions of the public towards him or Wagner. But never had I been so informed until this video especially about the mems lol. Your pigeon must have had a good coup at that😅 ( In British and American English we call the noise a pigeon makes a 'Coo' or 'Cooing ' 😉) Thanks Natasha 🙂
Here in the US, they were covering the missing sub that day.
sounds like something Fox News would do to divert attention away from the story they really don't want to publicize! 😂
@@ButterfatFarms Lucky we don't have Fox news in the UK, as far as I know, although we do have Sky news which I guess is the same company
@@meatrealwishes I though that was the week before it? But you are probably right. But I did see a CNN US reporter on my phone. It was pretty much identical to UK coverage.
Thank you Natasha and above all else stay safe 🕊
Great video Natasha !
Very intelligent and well thought through analysis! You can have a great future in journalism !
Didn’t expect a lesson of Russian verbs of motion (глаголы движение) in a Prigozhin video! As one Russian teacher says, one does not simply say “go” in Russian 😅
I remember seeing fear on my Russian teacher's face when I first tried to use an action verb in a sentence. "Are you going and planning on returning, or is this a trip you take often?"
Thank you for all your very important information you bring to us, Natasha. You are truly an angel. However, I feel bad for you having to spend your young years in these sad circumstances. Hoping that one day you can live another, a better life. As well as all those involved in this war - unwillingly.
Natasha your videos are amazing and I think that regardless of what you do, you will be great at it. I realize you are feeling very emotional about the way people are being treated in Russia, if ever you need to vent l am happy to listen.
Long time to see your vlog Natasha. Thank you for your sharing opinion. Love and God bless Natasha
Excellent to hear your perspective on this whole episode. We in the west are still rather confused about what happened, but nonetheless every day there is another article saying what really happened or didn't happen. I think the reality is that we don't yet know all of what happened, but I agree that it is evidence that Putin's regime is weaker than was previously realized. Keep up your spirits, and thank you for making such an interesting variety of videos from a perspective I (living in Austin, Texas, USA) never otherwise get.
you are a critical young lady who goes beyond the mere propaganda and tries to point to the truth. congrats.
lol what most she does here is propaganda
Жаль что русские люди которые могли бы западному человеку объяснить и рассказать правду, так нет наоборот продолжают вещать туже лож что и западная пропаганда.
Your journalistic skills and humanity are absolutely invaluable to us in the West trying to understand this complex situation. Great to see you again.
I'm a fan of Natasha, but my friend, she's a vlogger. Not a journalist. Or an analyst. She hasn't done any investigative reporting, and she's not acting as a citizen journalist. What "journalistic skills" are you talking about?
Thank you Natasha.....
Great details about everything happening at the moment.
Wow... You look fabulous. Healthy, relaxed, and content. Probably the best from all your pod casts.. Keep it up it's doing good things for you.
I love it how you as a graduated linguist disect and explain the deeper meaning of the words. For me - currently learning Russian - this is a great insight into the felling for the idioms of your language. Thank you ver much for this great analysis and video. I am looking forward for more.
Seems like a confusing language. Based on this video it seems like the language lends itself well to what Orwell called "NEWSPEAK"/ "DUCKSPEAK". It makes me wonder if he was aware of any linguistic mechanics of the Russian language especially kbowing the 2 nations in 1984 were pretty much supposed to b3 future versions of USA n Russia and or east vs. West.
Natasha, you have an important story to tell the world. You do it well, and I hope you can stay with it and make more videos. Make your voice heard!
You are a very brave young lady, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Your English is getting better and better! Congratulations. Thank you for sharing with us your point of view. That was interesting. Take care!
Natasha - you are proof the 'the pen is mightier than the sword.' Just my opinion - you have found your calling in life - journalism - keep doing what you are doing because you are making the world a better place with your reporting. Stay safe and keep going forward!

I love this channel because of its honest and very well reflected content. I wish all people would analyse and build their own reasonable opinion. But I guess only a minority is smart enough to do so which leads to the never ending desasters we have in this human world.
Your strongest, most powerful video yet. May you go from strength to strength.
Good of you to express your views, thank you…
Thank you Natasha. My take - I think there was some truth to the fact that ammo and supplies meant for Wagner were missing. Prigozhin knew that senior government commanders were stealing funds and was having to fund Wagner’s war himself. Bottom line - he was owed money and moved on Moscow until they paid up. He has the same mindset as a thief, he knows how it works.
Sounds pretty plausible
He was hoarding ammo. That’s what US satellites spotted but Igor girkin openly warned that Prigo was readying a coup. Ukraine announced everything about wagner was normal the day he posted his meme video. however, kremlin still hasn’t launched investigation on whether shoigu actually attacked prigo’s fighters.
Really interesting to hear the Russian perspective of this, from an actually honest Russian, and not some vatnik comment troll warrior. You pick up on nuances that media here in the West don't.
It was hilarious by the way, during the coup, all the vatnik spammers got silent on twitter and in youtube comment fields for many hours!
And you DO have a voice, Natasha! Almost 100K people have watched this video! We hear you!
Natasha, thank you so much for such a detailed explanation of the situation. you are much better than even CNN or other news channels!
