Love seeing you and Alena together. Thank you for taking us with you on your wonderful adventures. ❤

Natasha, thanks for taking us to Armenia with you. My great grandfather immigrated to the US from there many many years ago. I met him when I was a small child, he was 101 years old and passed away soon after. It was very cool to see a small part of his country.

Interesting comments about Armenia. In my home town in the NE of Iran lived several Armenian families. The town’s only movie theater was owned by Mr. Arshak, who also owned the town’s only hotel and liquor shop. Mr. Griygorian owned the town’s cotton ginning plant. Mrs. Haratunian was the head mistress in girl’s high school and her two sons went to the same school as I. And finally Mr. Estepan was a construction and road contractor/engineer. Very good community, respected by everyone.

Much respect for Iran and Iranians. Iran is the ONLY real friend of Armenia and Armenians. I am a third-generation Iranian of Armenian ancestry. I left Iran after the revolution 44 years ago. I live in Canada but I still miss my country terribly. Armenians and Iranians are almost the same people, share a lot of customs, words and traditions. We are just like brothers.

Despite the division of the common state into Armenia and Russia, most Armenians prefer to live in Russia. In St. Petersburg, 90% of the construction and road business belongs to Armenians. I still don't understand why it was necessary to share a common territory?

Love Iran, been there 5 times. Hello from Yerevan ❤.

I’m Russian and I’ve lived in Yerevan for more than a year now. I LOVE Armenia and Armenian people so much! 🇦🇲 I have never felt not welcome here. Most people here understand what it means to have shitty politicians, they know that you as a person are not defined by whatever your “officials” do. Most people I’ve met here say that no matter what governments do they wouldn’t be able to divide us as people. And even though Russian government betrayed Armenia in recent Artsah war - we still can sit together with Armenians and shit on Russian government together and it makes us even closer. Armenians seem very compassionate. And also so proud of their country that you just can’t not fall in love with it too. People here are always willing to help even if you’re a complete stranger. Neighbours care about each other. Having lived in Moscow all my life it took some time for me to get used to this relaxed and friendly vibe. It felt strange at first, but in a very good way. People say that it’s easy to spot a Russian who came here for the first time because they are so tense and don’t trust people. But after some time you can just relax, feel at home, trust people. And it feels so good!

System of a Down is Armenian n they're a epicly, great band. As well there is an equally killer underground black metal scene in Armenia.

Thank you for your video! I like how you contrast cultural and societal differences between Armenia, Georgia, and Russia. I hope to continue seeing your video tours throughout Central Asia.

Alright, so I love Yerevan and Tbilisi both but in different ways. Yerevan to me feels like a very energetic, dense and bustling city with lots going on, and for that reason it feels like a much bigger city than it actually is - it's also quite a unique place with architecture that you don't find anywhere else and a whole aesthetic that is unmistakable. Tbilisi to me is much calmer, feels much more chill, and gives me the same vibe that I get in many small to mid-size European cities. If I wanted to just relax for a week I'd rather stay in Tbilisi, if I wanted to explore a lot and do a lot of walking I'd rather stay in Yerevan. Another thing to mention is that Armenians have had very close ties to France and the US for a long time since both of those countries are home to very large Armenian diasporas. Many Armenian families have relatives in Los Angeles or Marseille or Paris, and for me as a French-American it makes it feel comfortable in the same way that it felt comfortable for you as a Russian. Many people speak English of course (which you didn't get to discover since even more people speak your native language 😄) but what's really surprising is the number of people that speak French - my wife is Armenian but we live in France and we speak French with each other and with our son. Almost every day we go out somewhere and we are speaking to each other or our son in French, an Armenian will come up and start speaking to him or to us in French. It's a very warm feeling, and in general the love that Armenians have for France in particular really makes me feel connected to the people in a way that I feel less in Georgia. I love Georgia for its unique beauty and almost alien language, but the relative lack of cultural ties makes it feel much more foreign to me - and I want to emphasize that I do not mean that as a critique at all - it actually makes Georgia more fascinating in some way, since it feels truly unknown. But on the other hand I feel much more comfortable when in Armenia because of those ties, and probably also in large part because of the Indo-European links we share. It's not so hard to pick out familiar words in spoken Armenian. Mother is mayr, moon is lusin, light is luys, bad is vat, cow is kov, dog/chien[fr] is shun, the root for the verb "to bring" is ber-, which is related to the English verb "to bear" or the identical Russian verb stem "ber-" (to take), and so on. There are even sentences in Armenian that are almost completely intelligible for me as a French speaker without knowing any Armenian - for example, the word for "this" is "sa" (սա) in Armenian, and the verb "to be" conjugated in the third-person singular is "é" (է), which is exactly the same as in French ("ça" for this and "est" for is). And to continue with the verb "to be", the first-person singular conjugation (I am) in Armenian is "em" (եմ) which is pronounced almost the same as "am" in English. All of those little things meant that I was able to start understanding basic context in spoken Armenian in a very short time. One last thing that I'd like to mention - I was told by many people (Armenians included) before going to Tbilisi that everyone there speaks English and to not speak Russian, but that was not my experience at all... I got MANY blank stares and rather rude responses when trying to speak to people in English, and had a lot more luck using Russian with anyone over the age of like, 30. That happens a lot less in Yerevan in my experience, at least in the city center... almost every shop has a few people who speak English (young and old) and you don't really need to speak Armenian or Russian. To put it in perspective, my mother (who only speaks English) is able to walk around and do basically anything in Yerevan, but when we were in Tbilisi she struggled many times and had to rely on other people to help her. It was a rather funny reminder of how the stories people tell each other can be so different from the reality!!

The similarities with other Indo-European languages end on those simple words. Try saying 'magnifique' in Armenian. Even I, as an Armenian, don't know it. In real Armenian everything is translated. And I mean EVERYTHING, every part of a globally adopted word. Television? Nope, "Herustatsuyts". Bicycle? Nope, "Hetzaniv". Biology? Nope, "kensabanutyun". Democracy - "Joghovrtavarutyun", and so on. Good luck learning Armenian if you ever dare to. I've heard that Georgian is more lenient in that sense. Anyway, it was interesting reading your flattering essay. Btw, to my shame, I've studied French in school and college, but I can't speak it besides "Comment ca va?", although I do understand, like, 20% of a regular French speech.

@@GareginRA yes you’re absolutely right about those words - and it does make things difficult when you actually learn the language at a higher level, which I am doing btw. I don’t find it absurdly difficult though, it’s just learning all that entirely new vocabulary that takes time. The grammar is actually not so bad, definitely not any worse than Russian.

You guys have a simple, uncomplicated, almost matter of fact style that sets your videos apart from the style of those on KZread here in America! You have a kind of innocence and down to earth manner that portrays a totally difference of upbringing, unlike most tubers here. Not better, not worse, just different and refreshing.

I felt completely safe there. Unfortunately, there is no such feeling in Georgia.

Natasha , there is one distinctive quality about you and your videos that I respect a lot. By nature , you are not a consumerist person , meaning you do not treat people & things around you to your personal consumption , but you take things as they are. In your travel videos you always observe and allow other cultures to be as they are - good or bad. I noticed it is quite rare for people from bigger nations ( especially from the ones with the imperialistic history) . Such people tend to always observe in order to criticize with the mindset of '' oh my god ! why are you like this ?!''. May you never loose that quality. Wish you all the best .

My son had a cat which he didn't take with him when he grew up and moved into his own apartment so I took care of her. When she was young, my grabbing her tail to get her to turn back to me would elicit an alarming response. Once she became older, she would just turn around and lay down next to me to let me scratch her back. Cats have "culture." My son said that his/our cat was doing something weird: staring at me. He said that it was a very aggressive gesture in predatory animals but she was already "humanized" to observe my moves, apparently with interest.

So much work and thoughts put into this vlog! Language, culture, cuisine, street animals, history and politics...This video is a labour of love. Thank you for this. On a side note, seems like Alena is kind of ashamed of being Russian? I remembered she once also said "I don't want to speak this terrible language" (meaning Russian) maybe she was joking.

wow, nice interesting video. thank you.

Great story-telling! ❤

I once explained to a Russian that England is a bit like Russia in the USSR. Official England is the traditional countries of England and Wales. But official England is not an international country, though it has its own soccer team. The international country is the United Kingdom, of the official Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Scotland (the King is crowned on a throne also containing the traditional stone of the Scottish kings), and Northern Ireland (because have to keep something from the conquests of the past).

I look forward to a time when human beings can simply drop their identification with their place of birth and simply meet as traveler's on the road - without labelling or judging each other - simply recognising each other as a piece of life, wrapped up like an onion, a combination of past, present and future - no flags, politics or religion. Just a dance of the 5 elements on this little mud ball called Earth 🕊️

You would have to drop all the languages too 😅 it's not gonna happen for another million years 😱🤣

It was a very interesting video. Thank you 🌻

excited to see this, as I wanted to visit Yerevan when I was living in Tbilisi as a digital nomad in 2021, but my Covid test did not arrive in time and there was no way to test whatever driver I got. So I went to Baku instead. But I would like to see Yerevan one day!
