Doves are closely associated with love and peace. The dove was singled out to represent romance because Greek mythology associated the small, white bird with Aphrodite, the goddess of love (known in Roman mythology as Venus). Aphrodite/Venus is often depicted with doves fluttering around her or resting on her hand.

I suggest the name Paloma for the pigeon. It means "pigeon" -- but also "dove" -- in Spanish. Paloma was also the name of Pablo Picasso's daughter. I think it's a good name because a dove is a sign of peace.

Technically the President isn't even the part of government that carries out or is responsible to democratic processes.

@@oshor09 Perhaps, Olga, you are maybe 'older' (or have more experience), and wiser. If you've undergone the unbelievably traumatizing experiences that the Ukrainians have gone through this year, you know that the anger you have in your soul is not the same as her feelings, and perhaps her feelings haven't touched her soul either. Having the chance to explain from her side is important, as well, as if you're from Ukraine, you SHOULD know that we in the West are incredibly proud of your leadership. NO ONE can diminish that pride or deep honor you have in your heart for your people, your countrymen/women, and the unbelievable hardships you've endured. But, that feeling cannot be equivalent because of the understanding of the situation is different, plus you're been in the fire. The other point I would like to make is that we Westerners have not the access to what is actually happening as what you're living through day by day. If I knew that this is what happened in Crimea, I would wonder how anything else CANNOT happen. What is happening is so awful, so unbelievably cruel, that it is difficult to think about it much without being overwhelmed. Surely the Wagner group isn't as inhumane as all that. But, they must be. One way to look at is to compare the children trained as suicide bombers in the Middle East, and say to oneself, "How can people that look like us behave like mindless zombies? Surely the fascism of WWII in Germany can't happen again, like a nightmare." But, obviously it is. In the beginning my local community sent out what we could for airdrops for the immediate asylum measures, but unless we were there in the combat zones, we have to rely on daily reporting which, here in the USA is not foremost on most newscasts. Over the past YEAR(!) I have managed to watch more and more videos about the Ukraine and I know some about Russia since I used to live not that far from Siberia, so I know how poverty-stricken and downtrodden the country of Russia can be if there is no inspirational leadership, but as far as I can tell, even thinking about your comment and watching this video, I just feel that the people have been stepped on and smashed into the ground.

Brave stuff Natasha - Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your experiences so openly and honestly. Great authentic journalism.

Glad to see you are in a stable, comfortable place. Thank you for continuing to share your perspective on current events with all of us around the world who care about peace and our common humanity.

Natasha, this was, hands down, the best and most heart felt video you have ever made. Know this: you will always have my good wishes for you. If you ever decide that you want to live in the US, I would be glad to write a letter of reference for you and do what I can to help you emigrate. I'll be there are plenty of others who follow you who would do the same. Good luck.

I randomly stumbled on your channel two years ago (then your channel led me to some other English-language Russian KZreadrs), and accompanying you through all this has been a very meaningful journey. Your work is such an important document, such a rare representation of what it’s like to go through this as a regular, kind young woman. Life is going to find a way, just be sure to live one day at a time. Best wishes from Canada

Hilarious, ma'am! "Some Bob from his basement..." lol! Keep standing up for yourself and what's right. (17:02)

Stay strong; you have many supporters! It's difficult to put complex emotions and thoughts to words. . . I can't imagine doing so on camera in my second language. Your perspective on everything seems so reasonable and mature despite such challenging times. Amazing.

Sounds like you've FOUND your voice Natasha, not lost it :) Glad that you're safe, I hope that you are the future of Russia.

Don't sell yourself short, Natasha. You're just as important as Navalny - you are here, speaking the truth for everyone to hear. That is the most important thing anyone could do.

This was a GREAT VIDEO. May 2023 be your best year ever.

Natasha, Thank you for your thoughtful insights. You are a very brave and courageous woman. My heart aches for what you have had to endure. I hope you have a chance to rest and decompress this year. I wish you peace. - Rich from Detroit

I can’t think of a more genuine, earnest and raw individual on youtube. Even though my reality is very different from Natasha’s, I often feel like I’m listening to a friend (or even some alternate version of myself). Thank you for discussing your struggles and successes with the world/ with me- I’m so glad you’re taking us along with you on this great adventure ☺️☺️

Naming your pigeon: Many years ago, my girlfriend and I rescued a pigeon girl with a missing tail and a broken wing. We called her Hope, because we felt that was the most appropriate name for her given her situation. We took care of her for about two months until her wounds had healed and her tailed had grown back, then we released her. She came back two days later and everyday thereafter. She is still with us today. Somehow this name, Hope, also seems a good fit for your pigeon companion.

Thanks for your update, your courage and honesty will serve you well. From my experience, a university degree in any course is just a tool to open doors. All the real learning happens afterwards. Go well into 2023. Good luck.

Natasha this video of your 2022 experiences really is a story of courage in the face of despair. I was a fan previously and these few minutes showed us your values and desires for a better life and willingness to overcome. I really enjoy your humor which I hope you can find a way to bring back to the forefront. Tremendous admiration for you young lady…tremendous.

You are so brave! It's people like you, Depressed Russian and others your age that have the spirit to fight and really make this world a better place. THANK YOU NATASHA!!

You have done the best you can with your channel to hold the regime to account, which is far more than I can say for some Russian KZreadrs.

Great pleasure to watch you grow as a person these years. Keep fighting for what is the right thing:)

Best of luck in Georgia Natasha dear, I hope your future is bright and you find a place to live that makes you happy!

Maybe your best video ever, Natasha, and as a father whose children are all older than you, I feel a real sense of pride for you and the things you've accomplished and overcome! I wish you continued success in all you endeavor as you find your way forward! All the best!!

Dear Natasha, you have much courage to move on and keep us informed of what some of your countrymen feel despite being in the minority. As you mentioned, other youtubers have poked their heads in the sand and continue on their merry way as if everything is normal. Thank you for being a voice of dissent in what is going on with pootin as head of your Nation. Stay safe and take care of your health.

Natasha, Such a delight to listen to your honesty as you describe your experiences and ideas. My grandmother's family were Russian/Ukrainian, (she was born in the USA of Russian parents and returned to Russia when she was five). I grew up with many stories about how Russians would never understand the west, how free we are and want to be, that they cannot even imagine this kind of freedom. I'm glad you've opened your eyes, and are helping to open the eyes of others. I think most people in the world are aware they are not represented by their governments, and you do give hope to many. I don't think evil can prevail in the end, it is it's own reward, isn't it? Putin cannot rest well, nor will history nor love be kind to him. But you have a bright future, unstained by evil intent so that is riches, isn't it?

@Victoria Powell _"Putin cannot rest well, nor will history nor love be kind to him. But you have a bright future, unstained by evil intent so that is riches, isn't it?"_ Interesting. Knowing Putin has done everything to preserve the peace, versus the scare-mongering and war-mongering against Russia and its people for over 20 years. And in spite of all of that, got Russia out of the pithole that it was in the 90s under Yeltsin, when millions of Russians, like Natasha, were living in poverty, without heating or on the streets, with *no* future. It was under Putin that a Middle Class came into existence for the first time in 1200 years as well. The Washington DC Swamp cannot rest well, knowing the house of cards will eventually tumble down with all the invasions and regime changes to benefit the military industrial complex.

I'm so sorry for the hard times you went through (and for all the people who still live in Russia scared by the regime) and i am really glad that you're doing better somehow. Don't feel guilty, you are still giving contribution even from outside, but there your Life could be really at stake. P.s.: for the pigeon i suggest "boop" :D

I think what matters most in regard to your diploma is the effort you've put into your education and self-development. If your channel and your English skills are any measure then I would say you have done something to be very proud of. Keep up the excellent work, I love your channel, and good luck in the New Year Natasha!

I was going to say the same thing. A diploma is more than just a certification of what you studied. It shows that you finished what you've started which is becoming a rare skill these days.

It is people like yourself that give me immense faith in the younger generation. Please keep doing what you do.

All the best for the new year. You are the most inspiring person I follow on the internet. Take care Natasha. 😘

Thanks for sharing more, it helps us to understand. So great you got help. It sounds like you will have GOOD YEAR. All the best. Thank you 😊

Much love and strength to you Natasha. It's refreshing to see such a young person be so thoughtful and articulate. It makes me happy that you are feeling confident and optimistic.

You are not alone! You have my support from Madrid, Spain!

Natasha you are an amazing human being and your words, (especially what you are saying at the 20:00 mark) inspire me at a very weak point in my life. Thank you, keep strong. Your future is in my thoughts. Best wishes, and sincerely thank you. I can not say it enough, thank you.

I'm really happy for everyone who managed to escape this hell, because I sure don't have the resources to. Things look grim right now, but I keep hoping, dreaming, this bullshit can't last forever after all. I wishing you best luck with settling down in a new country!

My prayers go with you. May you have a better year in 2023 🌞🌿

I commend you on your bravery, Natasha. It took tremendous courage to speak out whilst in Russia and placing yourself at extraordinary risk in doing so and for being willing to upend your entire life and move to a brand-new country. Therefore, I would recommend you name your pigeon "Cher Ami," after the famous World War I homing pigeon who delivered a dozen messages and saved untold lives despite having been badly wounded. He was decorated with the Croix de guerre; I can only hope you receive a similar award someday.

Viewing saved vlogs of yours I hadn’t watched before now. You are such an inspiring human being Natasha. Whichever country you land in should be proud to have you.

I'm Romanian- born in Romania, and grew up there until I was 13. I was born in '92, almost 3 years after the '89 revolution, and everything was still raw and everything was still chaotic and unstable and at times dangerous. The 90's in Romania were quite a ride and the best recipe to make my generation be more anxious than average. I grew up with my family's stories about the soviet times in Romania, the Russian invasion in WWII, the family members killed by Russian soldiers senselessly, and the revolution. So obviously, I grew up with an intense fear of the Russian government deciding to put Romania under its sphere of influence again or invade Romania again like it has done about a dozen times before. I also grew up with a sense of debt to the revolutionaries who died in '89 to get us free from the Russian boot, and was terrified (and angry) that we might lose our hard-fought freedom again. And yes, a 5-8 year old can understand threatening stuff especially if all family members talk about the news non-stop and talk about their fear and anger. My family also watched the news every night and I often joined them and I was generally up to date with the latest scary thing that was up from the Yugoslav wars, the war in Chechnya, Putin becoming PM in Russia and then president (yes my family was freaking out about him from the beginning), along with Russia trying to put pro-Russian politicians in power which kept causing political instability (it was a particular mess in '97). I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, but more to explain how it feels to live close to a country that perennially invades nearby. Obviously, I cannot hold all of this against you or many of the Russians alive today, but I feel like sometimes, even good Russians like yourself don't quite understand the terror and intergenerational trauma and fear (and anger) about randomly waking up to being invaded AGAIN that is felt in the former Eastern Block countries. And Romania had it better than say Ukraine or Poland or the Baltics or Belarus. Still, I do not hold it against any Russian I meet irl or see online unless they say something positive about Russia's invasion in Ukraine, supporting Putin, about ethnic Russians being superior to everyone else, or talk about the wonderfulness and greatness of the tsars invading countries. The only time I say bad stuff about Russians is when I'm talking about Russian soldiers and Z suporters and all Russian govt officials and average Russians who don't care and are apathetic about the war and their government. To make the distinction the good Russians who tried to fight back (like yourself and people like Yevgenia Albats), I spell it ruzzians when I talk about those whom I consider bad Russians. I do wish even good Russians would start understanding the colonial history of Russia, the colonization need that has always existed, and that even the territory Russia has today was taken by genocide of Central Asian peoples and bringing in Russian (ruskiy not rossiyskie) colonists to further damage any remnants of the local indigenous peoples' cultures. And I know Russia is not the only country that needs to come to terms with this- even Romanians still need to come to terms with some shitty and dark things our country has done. Right now though, in the context of the Ukrainian war, if you consider yourself a good Russian, then start educating yourself, start coming to terms with your country' colonialism in the present and in the past, and do talk about it so that more Russians may be awakened from their deadly ignorance. I don't expect the good Russians to topple the Russian government- it's impossible since Putin has really strong control over the cabinet, the Duma, and the FSB, GRU, Putin's guard, military/federal police/local police. But I do expect good Russians to try to educate at least online their fellow Russians, even if they fail more than they succeed.

believe it or not soviet propaganda hadn't vanished when soviet collapsed, it stayed in the minds of people. so nearest 30-50 years russians, ukrainians, belorus, would be spoiled-minded people, so be aware, even good russians have spoiled mind. the cursed soviet mind. Even they were born in independent countries, they took some of the soviet background from their parents grandparents etc. Ukrainians are more free because we are closer to EU and we travelled a lot to EU. but belorus and russians are deeply rooted into imperializm, socializm, fachism, nazism. You shoudl understand that moscow lived well during soviet times because they were stealing resources from all other soviet union, so they want to restore soviet union 2.0. Unfortunately even young people in russia are willign to restore soviet union, even they didn't live during soviet times. The only way to stop them is to bit shit out of them, they understand only power. Remember when Trump destroyed 200 wagner guys in 10 minutes in Syria ? right, this incident was not even discussed in russian news. When they receive a punch back, they stop the agression. Don't consider "peacufull" agreements with Russia, they only understand the NATO base near their borders, it's the only way to chain this "dog"

Makes perfect sense to me. You made it thru last year. This is a completely new chapter in your life. Make good stuff happen.

This video explains so much. I feel like I understand the world a bit better than I did 25 minutes ago. Thank you.

Natasha you are a beautiful soul and you really pour out your heart about your struggles and your sorrows. I have been quite harsh and unhappy with many of these Russian You Tubers who can come off as selfish and insensitive, but you are the exception. Any country where you end up will be blessed by your contributions to keeping away the darkness of totalitarianism which threatens all free societies. Thank you so much for your passion and for your commitment to truth, and please try to make more frequent videos in the future!
