I finally LEFT RUSSIA (and was interrogated at the border :) What's next?

My grand parents fled Russia in 1911. They were Germans that had been recruited to farm the steppes. Things were going down hill in Russia and many Germans from Russia ended up in Lincoln, NE, USA. Lots of Latvians came here after WW2. My next door neighbors are Ukrainian. Seems like within a couple of generations you can't tell where people are from. Politicians ruin countries. Hope you find comfort wherever you settle.

The old man that used to come haul our trash to the dump was born in Russia. His parents fled Russia to come to the U.S. and they both died on the way. He was an orphaned boy, alone, in a new country so they put him on an orphan train and sent him out here to an orphanage on the Nebraska prairie where he grew up and lived out his life. I thought that was so sad but he was always cheerful and smiling.

My great grandfather fled Ukraine for Canada in 1920 to escape the civil war and being forced into the Bolshevik army. He was 18. I'm 18 right now, I've seen photos of him from that time he looked just like me at this age. I haven't even left my hometown of Calgary, Alberta for more than a month before. Could never imagine just having to pick up everything and start a new life in some random country across the ocean at this time.

Hi Natasha, I’ve been bingeing on your wonderful videos since one popped up in my YouTube feed. I’m so relieved that you left Russia and hope that you are safe and well. From 61 yr old Australian mother❤🙏🏼🇦🇺

Ohhh Natasha, thus is sad and wonderful at the same time. Leaving home is always extremely difficult. I hope you have a friend with you while traveling And to settle in with. Just know and trust your gut feelings. Be proud of your choice and decision for change. As an intelligent and healthy young woman….. you will do well and be successful.

Natasha, I wish you strength and resilience in your journey.

Уважительная просьба не возвращаться обратно, спасибо. Счастливого пути.🙂

Hi Natasha! I was just watching Niki Proshin's latest vlog from Istanbul where he has just arrived. He mentions how you helped him with your phone number. I want to add a big Thank You for doing this. It is wonderful of you to help him out. Like everyone else, I believed that he would remain in St. Petersburg for much longer, but for his safety, I'm glad that he (and you!) left Russia when you did. Almost all of my Russian vloggers have left Russia, or are trying to do so. (Crazy) Sergey has turned up in Mongolia, and you're in Georgia. Wow! Such a huge exodus. Be careful and be safe! Cheers from Texas.

I don’t often comment on youtube videos, but it’s so relieving to know you are safe. I hope you enjoy your time in Georgia however long it turns out to be.

I had a Russian friend who drove me through Belarus into Poland. When we crossed the border into Poland, he exclaimed "freedom." He really felt it.

I am freaking excited for whatever you put out next - and I’m soooo happy you are free!

Well done! Good luck and keep us updated. Thanks so.much for your videos. Hugs

Part of me is very sad seeing you have to leave your home and family behind because of the political situation in Russia. But then part of me is very happy to see that you can start a new adventure in Georgia and perhaps find your life long path in the new country where you have arrived by fate. I wish you happiness!

Your tenacity is commendable. Take care of yourself, and our thoughts are with you.

Finally free! So happy for you Natasha!! Congratulations!

How wonderful for you to get out and start a new life. Your English is excellent, you will do very well wherever you go!

We all felt a sense of relief to see you arrive in Tbilisi. You are young … you got away… your future is ahead of you. Run free and prosper. Cheers 🥂 🇨🇦

I am glad to see that Zack the Russian met you in Tbilisi. I hope that Georgia provides you with happiness and everything else that you desire. Good luck, Natasha! 🙂

I have also been following Niki and Constantine since February. So pleased you have all managed to get out safely.

Enjoyed this video and learning what you went through!! Glad you posted!!!
