Travelling to Montenegro and meeting with Russian journalists // What's happening in Russia now

In this video I'll tell you about my trip to Montenegro, my first European country to visit! I came here to attend a program for young media professionals from the USA and Russia. There we had the chance to meet with local journalists and journalists from Russian opposition media. While I arrived from Georgia, my fellow program participants came there directly from Russia, and since I can’t return to Russia, it was an opportunity for me to learn about what’s happening inside the country. So in this video, I’ll share a bit of everything: from Russian media to my overall impressions from Montenegro!
In this video:
0:00 why I came to Montenegro
2:01 impressions of the country
3:50 what local journalists say about Montenegro
5:57 Russia's influence on Montenegro
7:30 walking and shopping
9:06 local language and its similarities with Russian
13:12 what we did on the program
16:10 how Russian opposition media functions now
18:17 situation in Russia now

    Many people pointed out that it’s not my first time in Europe, because I visited Moscow and St Petersburg. And they’re right, because geographically, Europe is everything that extends east all the way to the Ural Mountains. But I rather meant this division into Western and Eastern Europe, implying that Montenegro is in Western Europe. But then I found out that there is also the concept of “southern Europe”, and Montenegro refers more to this😄 So I am confused, but I can still say that this is my closest experience to Western Europe, because Italy is just across the sea, and I paid in euros! Anyway, thank you for the warm comments and the interesting info your share. I will keep it up, and have a nice day everyone!

    We in the EU think of them as both Southern and Eastern Europe. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Belarus, and Ukraine are “extra” Eastern European. (I’m Danish - nice to see a video from you again!)

    In my view Montenegro is still Eastern Europe. Yes, Russia is, partially, in Europe, but common sense is, you referred to first time in Europe outside your country. I am in Europe and if I visited some other Europe countries, it was a visit, well, in Europe, possibly for the first time. :) It doesn't matter too much, don't bother with that.

    Europe is much more diverse than the purely political division established after 1945 would suggest. In fact, we can talk about several Europes: Western Europe, Scandinavia, Central Europe, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe refers to the area where Orthodox Christianity dominated, the division does not result from political but cultural conditions, because politicians die and culture lasts and it determines how we perceive reality, determines our tastes and temperament. Montenegro is the Balkans, i.e. the eastern part of Southern Europe

    Natasha, I am a retired American journalist, with a career spanning newspapers, magazines, broadcast and internet. I have been watching your content for a couple of years, and admired your work as you developed your skills. I hope that attending the conference for young journalists in Montenegro was enlightening and inspiring. But in talking about the conference you referred to yourself as just a KZreadr; you are more than that. You need to understand that although you work for yourself and publish on KZread, you are very much a journalist. Your videos are personal documentaries, with observations on culture, politics and history. You have a natural skill as a storyteller and commentator, and your handheld camera work is raw and instinctive. You have taken your audience on a journey through Russia and beyond, with you as the central character. Keep up the work, and don't denigrate yourself. What you are doing is important, and you do it well.

    As a Ukrainian who speaks Ukrainian and Russian fluently and has Slovak roots, I can understand a lot in Slavic languages. And sometimes it is surprising and funny when similar words have opposite meanings. For example in Czech “voňavka” means perfume, but “вонять” in Russian means to stink.

    And in croatian vonj is an archaic word, the modern one is miris, it usually has a negative conotation, it is used for stink, but in dalmatian dialect, and ćakavian in general it is just smell, can and is used as a positive word, but ofc csn be also used for nrgative. What she asked in her video, yes we have many words that are atchaic here but are used in other slavic languages, that's like in every country. What is special here in cro us that we have many dialects, three main ones, that differ more than some slavic langguages all together, and each of them preserved different old slavic words in everyday use, so the people like me who due to circumstances have wider knowledge of vocsbulary from all three have much better understanding of other slavic lgges just becsuse there's much bigger fund of the words than you'd find only in croatian standard, mind you that is the standard, but all dialects no matter how different are considered as croatian language, and they wary a lot, a person from the island of korčula can dock in the port of split and be completely uninteligible for the locals, no matter they generally come from the same dalmatian dialect, on the other side - it's always fun with that, and you can't conceal where from are you, which region and even the city, it's in your speech.

    @@user-lf2jh2ru9f ofc they are, but normally they mixed with the locals when they got here, different ilirian tribes, that are considered generally of celtic or as they say in this part of europe gaelic group, tribes like histri in istria, liburni bit lower, delmati in nowadays dalmatia, in slavonia sciavi and bunch of other tribes, in the middle mountainous part illirians and so on, but then there was a number of invaders from all sides and settlers during different empires, so we are mixed a bunch like any other nation in europe, one thing that is characteristic that we assimilate other nations well into our culture, i have in my extended family german, hungarian and czech minorities, they all consider themselves croats first and their minority second, my brother in law is half german half hungarian, he's bigger cro nationalist than i ever was, so yeah we are slavic people, but due to being a small nation always amidst bigger empires and rulers, we had big emphasis on preserving our language and culture, and our parliament, we fought alot with the habsburgs, and hungarians to preserve our statehood and our parliament during that empire, and being declared "vojna krajina", what would be translated as "military province" due to the border with ottomans, we had certain perks a lot of other nations in the empire didn't get at least not lightly, we had more self governance, and our peasants used the military service to escape from servitude into freemen, so oddly enough peasants in the western calmer part ended up being serves much longer than here in slavonia, well at least until the 1573 and the great peasant rebellion in northwestern croatia and slovenia, when they had it enough, anyways lots of history in a small place, but yeah we are proud slavic nation and proud of all other ingredients that made us stronger. If you ask about the skin type, then yeah we are slavic and paler than serbs, montenegrins or bulgarians, or hungarians for that matter although they are not slavic, but we are bit more north too, and more mixed with central europeans and less with southerners, except ofc in the south especially the islands, where the mix with italians is a given, but they are also pretty pale for mediterraneans, my mom is a dalmatian, my dad slavonian, she's at least two shades paler than him, i mean they are similar in winter, but he can get a tan in summer, she can't at all no matter being a southerner, so it all varies, but for all needs and purposes yeah we are slavic af, we are mixed a lot but preserved more than many other slavic nations due to our complex historical circumstances, from language and culture i mean, we use slavic names for the months of the year, afaik only poles and ukrainians do that too and such things, old myths and legends and so on.

    Coming from a rather tiny country myself (Denmark), I we have learned that we need to work together with our neighbors and partners to achieve peace and prosperity. I believe this encourages diversity and increases mutual respect. Since we're also a limited population (just around 5 million), not all TV shows are dubbed and not all books are available in our own language. This means more motivation for learning the languages shared between our neighbors - in our case, English, Swedish, Norwegian and German - and as such a better understanding of the World beyond our own borders. In terms of military defense, size doesn't matter since we're a part of larger defense alliance.

    Reminds me of the similarities between Dutch and German. And many of the English vocabulary and German share very similar word sounds called cognates. I am an old man, but I am encouraged by your courage. Courage is acting despite worrying or being afraid.

    Hi Natasha! I'm from Poland, had Russian in high school and you're right - some words are very deceitful. For example, Russian "неделя" means "week", Polish "niedziela" means "Sunday". Russian "запоминать" means "to memorise", Polish "zapominać" means "to forget". You can clearly say these used to be the same words, but then somewhere along the way the meanings have changed.

    Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian/Montenegrin/etc "nedelja/недеља" means "week" AND "Sunday" 😀but you can also say "sedmica/седмица" and "tjedan" (only Croatian) for week. Some of those differences stem from the fact that some words used to have two meanings, like krasno/красно which had the meaning of "Red" and "Beautiful" and now only means red in Russian and beautiful in South Slavic Languages. Some other differences arise from a drift of the meaning of a word (jagoda), taboos or simply because those words didn't use to exist in the common ancestor and were therefore either newly created or borrowed from another language.
