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!

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.

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.

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.

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 KZread. 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.

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. ❤️

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..

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!!!

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.

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.

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 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!

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

That electrical box close to the kitchen sink looks super sketch - good luck guys

If you install a curtain across the pink room the two kids have a private play/sleep area!

she is so sweet and positive!! She seems like she would be the sweetest friend! Love from Canada

You can both definitely work your magic on that apartment!

What is wrong with these commenters today?! They clearly have no manners and didn’t listen to the entire video before commenting. Not to mention they haven’t been following along if they’re asking why you’re moving so much, not that it’s anyone’s business but you’ve been very open about your life. Your apartment is a great place to be for as long as you like/need, selling your country house is a good idea if you want to live closer to the city, Agatha is adorable, and you look amazing! I wish you nothing but the best, you guys are doing great ❤

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.

It kind of reminds me of the first apartment I saw on your channel, and I love the tall ceilings and windows.

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.

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.

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)

I am like you, I love windows. I need natural light. Darkness depresses me, especially during the long winter season. It will look beautiful once it's all fixed up! EDIT: Oh, that is interesting about the other house. I love that you are putting Christian ministry first. God will continue to lead and bless you guys!

Wow, So many rude and stupid comments. Half the questioners must not have watched the video b/c she explains everything. Other question not any of your business unless she chooses to share. Doing great Vika! Life happens when you are making plans and all that. Always admired your courage, resourcefulness and adaptability. ❤

I'm not surprised that old house was overwhelming to you guys. It is a tremendous job and with no one to guide Toyla on how to do everything etc makes it even more difficult. Add to that everything worldwide is terribly expensive right now so it would deplete your money very fast. I hope you can get the apartment all fixed up so your comfortable there - and maybe you will be able to sell the house for a profit.I'll be praying for you. I'm glad you found a place where you can have all your pets. Nice you'll be all tucked in somewhere safe for the winter.

So interesting to see all these different buildings and the varying conditions of housing in all the places you’ve lived in so far! Love your videos and they teach people some very valuable life lessons: 1. Life has different challenges for everyone and it‘s a good thing to broaden our horizon and be reminded of all the things - big or small - that we can and should be thankful for. 2. Permanent settlements and a lifestyle based around routines has always been a sign of abundance and luxury. We all have nomadic ancestors - moving from place to place, adapting every single day to weather conditions, spontaneous occurrences and the many slip ups and malfunctions of day to day life was the norm, nothing extraordinary - which brings us to the next point: 3. We, as humans, are incredibly adaptive and able to inhabit almost every part of this earth, as long as we have each other and work together. 4. Materialistic things are just that: Materials. They can be a nice backdrop to beautiful moments, but over the cause of your life, they will become more and more irrelevant. You‘re favorite stories and anecdotes, that you‘ll be telling people when you‘re old and grey will very likely not include brand names, or elaborate details about the fancy wallpaper in your bedroom or the exact kind of marble of the kitchen counter tops. Most likely you will not tell anyone what they were made of, but the funny story will be about your cat jumping up on it to steal the leftovers. 5. The importance of our number one stabilizer: Our family & friends. Home is where your heart is and especially young children are not in need of fancy toys and afternoon activities with people they don’t really know… What they need the most is to be loved, seen and guided by their parents (/primary caregivers) and their extended family and family friends. ❤ I hope everyone counts their blessings tonight - thank you Vika for taking us along!

Sending you many blessings! It will be a lovely, light filled home.

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.
