A very interesting and honest video Nesty. The West has no issues with Russians like you but your scumbag leader must be stopped. Sadly many more thousands of Russian soldiers will be killed adding to the 50000 already lost.
What a pleasant and strangely hopeful channel you have. You have a gentle touch on a most difficult subject at a really difficult time for many people. Well done you!
Don't discount the suffering, it's just a little discomfort. The victims of this war in Ukraine are suffering. Women were raped and murdered, children were killed and maimed, prisoners were tortured. The situation in Russia is incomparable to the situation in Ukraine, so do not write about suffering. There is nothing to feel sorry for the Russians, this war continues thanks to them, it is ordinary Russians and their dreams of a great Russia that made Putin president and led to this tragedy, they are the murderers. Same as during 2WW Germany. Which of course does not mean that everyone is equally responsible, because there are exceptions as in the case of Hitler's Germans.
@@dudleyk444 what you describe was happening for 8 years in the donbass... And it was your so loved Ukrainian soldiers who commit those crime against civilian... This war started long time ago, and there are people suffering on both side, and both side have commit war crimes... Stop watching walt disney with one side is only good and the other one is only evil...
Brilliant video. Your views mirror my own interpretation of the situation. I hope all the young Russian guys get to come home soon and safely. A lot of worried mums and dads in Russia, so sad.
Is it just me, or is it kind of offensive for Russia to claim the invasion is going according to plan, given how many Russian soldiers have died? Does this mean their plan was to have 50-100k Russians killed or wounded? You would certainly hope not.
Thank you Anastasia 😊 💓, your thoughts, love and heart felt ❤️ 💓 ♥️ feelings about the whole situation that is happening not only between Russia and Ukraine, but over the whole world comes from your heart with honesty, transparency, integrity and of course bravery.... ❤️ it is so beautiful to find a Russia you tuber willing to confront such challenging issues God Bless you Anastasia 🙏 ❤️ Your openness to be honest and transparent will only open up more doors to a greater future Blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏
Your comments reflect the overall situation well. I wish you good luck and would like to encourage you to go on with your great youtube channel. Take good care for yourself and your loved ones. Lets hope for a better future for all people in this horrendous mess and chaos. Every new day has new chances.
we need to be strong even though there are many trials that come our way, the important thing is to be happy even in small things. always take care your self beautiful lady. new subscriber from Philippines!
Thank you very much! For us (my wife is Russian and I'm German) it's a hard situation now. Since Corona our kids couldn't see their grand parents which living in Russia. Now all this shit started and we hope there will be a end and normal situations for everybody.
I hate to see what is happening on your side of the World. But I am glad you are ok 👍 And happy that you can still post Content.. I'm watching my own Country do stupid stuff, that none of us Support. But what can you do..? Take care of yourself, friend.
There are 14.000 reasons for this waar and thousands of Russian childrens in Donbas Lughansk stayed 8 years in basements and even the teaching where held there because Western Ukraine bombed them indiscriminatly ,there where not a singel military objects in site ,so keep lying to your self .
@@AmericanDiscord The only reason for this war is genocidal conquest as your leader Putin has clearly articulated, but that clearly flew over your head.
_When the young ones take over, and Russia decides to be a normal country again, we'll be happy to have you guys back._ Who says Russians need you? You will understand if you didn't already that you need Russia way more than vice versa. So drop this western arrogance and superiority complex and try to become a normal country instead of being western supremasicts.
I do not agree with you, to go back to normal I expect the young Russians to speak up against their government and later on to apologize for years to come.
Please believe that the Russian people do not have "a common enemy". Any unhappiness felt in the West is very specifically aimed at certain persons who seem to have started this event for reasons related to their own ego. As usual when political egos are involved, it is the ordinary people and the soldiers who carry the cost.
Thank u dear for your comment 🙏🏻💖 I wish one day politicians will just go out into the field and fight with each other to solve their problems without the participation of people who are not interested in it 😅
@@AgentNesty it was suggested that The Russian President and the Mayor of Kiev enter the ring together to solve this Crisis!! Thank you for this video.
Maybe you should start blaming NATO and american politicians who began this war, brainwashed Ukranians and supply them with weapon so they can lill Russians?
@@izzyreeze3538 Upps, I just missed that NATO started that war. Was ANY Russian border violated? In my opinion, Russia invaded first crimea and then Eastern and even Northern Ukraine. Maybe NATO wasn't friendly and maybe Russia was tricked by NATO in some agreements. But NATO NEVER invaded Russia anywhere and didn't plan to. The whole Special Military Operation is based on Putin's paranoia.
Stumbled across your channel, Your presentation is so grounded, relatable and a bit quirky. It's a welcome insight into common concerns we all have. May the suffering come to an end on all sides of the conflict and that strained relationships can heal. Sending appreciation to you and may you be safe from all the strife.
Anasty it's a great open speech about the situation you are handling. It will end very soon and their is a greater and good life waiting. You will also get more dollars with more subscribers. Be happy and make others happy.
Nice video, and difficult situation. This most likely is something which needs to be addressed in Russia, but the time is not right yet. I would disagree on not surviving a nuclear war, although time might be rough, I think it is possible with corresponding preparation, but there will be huge losses on both sides. Greetings from Germany and looking forward to new videos :)
Who would still want to live on this completely destroyed planet after the greatest possible catastrophe in human history? Without intact infrastructure and without what makes our lives worth living. It would be a death in installments, depending on how well you might have prepared yourself as a prepper, if you even had enough warning time to get to safety. So what kind of life would that be?
Counselor: "Putin, you're people are really suffering under the sanctions!!" Putin: "Will the sanctions affect me and my luxurious lifestyle personally?" Counselor: "No, sir ..." Putin: "Then shut up and pass the caviar."
Finally, a channel in Russia that is calling what happened on 2/24/22 by it's real name 👏 Thank you, Nesty, for naming it from the start, and for your honest and balanced analysis throughout 💙I've subscribed, and will look for more updates!!
It happened much earlier - eight years ago, and ir started with the direct Poroshenko's oder to firebomb the civillians of Donbass. And, yes, I totally and completely agree, it without any doubt must be called by its name, bearing in mind who and when started this war!
@@ЕвгенияМихайлова-ю1б Around 16,000 people are believed to have been killed from 2014 until the beginning of Putin's war in February this year. Around 7,000 soldiers on each side (Ukrainian and separatist) and 2,000-3,000 civilians. So, relatively not very many for a 8 year conflict. There simply has not been any genocide or mass killings of civilians in Donbass, before the now-ongoing war. However, since Putin invaded Ukraine in February, we don't know how many thousands or tens of thousands of civilians have been killed. In many cities, the Russians have destroyed practically every apartment building - as well as schools, hospitals etc - killing countless of thousands.
@@ЕвгенияМихайлова-ю1б Well, I don't believe that although I'm not a Poroshenko fan. To be VERY clear: Each human being is free to whish to live in another country than he does. BUT the solution is to move to that country, NOT to move borders! And after you mentioned things happening 8 years ago: yes, annexation of crimea was the first criminal invasion of the gangster clan of Moscow.
@@semipalatinsk1 If you like to talk about 2014 then you should talk about unconstitutional bloody armed coup in Kiev that East of the country didn't support. Kiev silenced a lot of people but couldn't silence Donetsk and Lugansk. Russia gave Kiev a chance with Minsk Agreements to reintegrate them back but Kiev wanted military solution. Alexei Danilov openly said that Zelensky deliberately rejected all options from Russia, Germany, France and was preparing for war since 2019. August 13 of 2014 Ukrainian pilot bombed children beach in Zugres with cluster bombs. Many people died obviously. Again, it was 2014 not 2022. That was the date when Ukraine was finished, when Ukrainian fascists felt complete freedom to kill some ruskies. There were many such fascist terrorist events against their own citizens that made it impossible for Donbass to want to comback to this new radical Ukrainian state.
@@TheGermanObserver _yes, annexation of crimea was the first criminal invasion of the gangster clan of Moscow_ You didn't mention the illegal unconstitutional armed coup in Kiev after which Crimea used absolutelly legaly its right at self-determination provided by United Nations charter. If monuments don't suit you, if language doesn't suit you, holidays, history, names of cities and streets don't suit you then it means that you are building your state on a foreign land. And that's what we see Ukraine is doing, Ukraine is essentially an occupant. Ukrainian soldiers complain that locals are against them. Not surprising after years of shelling and other crimes.
What is happening in Russia, the way part of the population sides with Putin's ideology, shows quite clearly for us in the 21st century the dynamics of what happened in Germany prior and during WW2. It's a terrible thing that so many people don't realize: The worst atrocities are always sugar-coated in attractive nationalistic terms, often building on people's fears, to make it easy for the simple folks to feel positive about it and look the other way, ignoring what actually is happening, what actions and attitudes are encouraged towards other nationalities or undesired groups of people, and what the result is in terms of the direct cost of human lives.
Dont realize what?, The fact that the west yet again is and has given rise to the Bandera Nazis. The fact that the Russian people are being oppressed by western governments, their bank accounts are being frozen, homes taken away, they face aggression. The fact that the west turned a blind eye to the Genocide in Donbass. The fact that the most heinous crimes are committed by the west, yet collectively you all keep mum. What exactly do we not realize.
I watched a lot of Russian RU-vid channels living in Russia and they say that the prices are good and the economy is excellent, so who should we believe?
@@7yslater perhaps some content makers pander to western audiences, so they get to hear what they want to hear and what is in line with western media and governments narrative.
Ахахаха. Мы должны были терпеть рядом государство, где ненавидели и убивали русских? Запад сомневался в нашей решительности? В нашей экономике? В нашей армии? Будет уроком другим.
New to your channel, this post explains everything in the most practical, understandable way. I really feel for you... The tables may be turning sooner than we think if there are more and more people like you. Loved the kitties too... hope someone takes care of them. Cheers from French Martinique 💖
Thank you for this video ,it was very informative.It's sad that this is all happening because of one person and I don't see things getting better anytime soon,we have to be realistic.As for me I feel very bad for the Ukranians ,I have a lot friends there and I was supposed since 2021 to relocate in Ukraine in fact but delayed it because of covid and now this happened.Despite this I have decided to continue with my relocation to Kyiv.I hope that I can be helpful to my dear Ukrainians,I feel that I have to do it to fight this depression that is seizing me since Feb24th . Ironically I decided to move to Ukraine and from there with a camper van and travel all over Central Asia .My big dream since a child was always to visit Lake Baikal and trek into Kamchatka.I don't see this happening anytime soon ,maybe in 20 years.....
It's going to be OK. Ukraina is being decommunized. I'm sure you understand what that means. If not, basically tchernobyl will be the last free zone of ukraina. Helensky and the banderovskies along with the esteemed assistance of their degenerate handlers in DC and London will then move the capital of ukraina into the sarcophagus. Ukraina shall finally be safe.
This is not just because of one person. Putin has lots of followers and enablers. Also a big part of Russian population agreed with the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, and even now support the war. Being brain washed is not an excuse, they can still receive real information if they actually want to, or they can turn a blind eye like most Germans did under the nazi regime.
Thank you so much for being brave, Nesty! As I see it, the only way normality returns to Russia and Ukraine is for a change in leadership in Russia, or Ukraine beats Russia on the battlefield. Sad!! And the only way that will happen is for the people of Russia to step up. That is a hard thing to do, given the totalitarian government, but Russians themselves let this happen over time. Anyway, good luck and we truly enjoy your videos. Kansas USA
Look in a mirror, it is we in the west that are living under totalitarianism. Soon our kids will belong to society. We are not allowed to express ourselves without serious self monitoring. And it is getting worse, not better. We Icelanders are losing a sovereignty gradually. Eventually we will either be a Puerto Rico of the US, a state, or a province in the EU. Our culture and infrastructure has been marketed and sold. So is out land and companies, soon our resources. Eventually we will just be a minority that will dither into a genome, nothing more, nothing less. The war in Ukraine has been brought on by the west, to believe otherwise is self delusion. First the ousting of the president, then the ban of his party, then the attack on Russian speakers. How would it go in Canada if Ontario banned French as an official language in Canada, including Quebec ? I am sure that would not go down quietly. Quebec would succeed, just like Donetsk and Lugansk did. Would get support from France and other French speaking countries. The Canadian Army would then invade Quebec, and would get assistance from the US and UK. France might intervene some years down the line, just like Russian intervened in Ukraine. 14.000 people died in Kiev Ukraine's war against the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. Republics populated by Ukrainians, that perhaps identify as not being Ukrainian now, which doesn't surprise me. Then there is the threat of cleansing. Stepan Bandera, OUN and UPA are adored, respected and some Kiev Ukrainian units are modelled on them. What are Stepan Bandera, OUN and the UPA known for ? Their atrocities against Jewish and Roma folk, Poles and other minorities. Volhynia Massacres, this the Banderites know very well about, and do not shy from it. For they view it, just like the German Nazis of the Third Reich, a solution to a problem. A lot of young Russians, just like many young westerners, do not know their history, or history of those around them, nor have they been following developments and current events. They get caught up with things when they hit social media or the Internet shuts down, or they cannot pay for Netflix or something. This is how our governments want us to be, world over. Obedient little drones, caught up in our own little world while they take everything away from us. Kiev Ukrainians have kill lists, Darya Dugina was on that list, she was murdered. Now they have put Roger Waters of Pink Floyd on their kill list. ISIS and NAZIS are in essence the same, even in WW2 radical Islamists found common ground with the European Nazis. Why do I mention this ? Because the West supports both the ISIS of the Middle East, and the Nazis of Europe. Have a good day.
Please, don’t stop uploading videos. Americans and Russians, both, need to see that there is not as much difference in societies as there is in governments.
Sailor Nom channel sent me here, it's great she recommmended you in her video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HpG2fgrInQc.html I like your communication stlye & skills, keep at it. it seems Russia will do well with more of your voice being heard amongst people.
I nearly chocked myself with my baguette, when you took the spin by calling the "special" needless war "piz**ts* :-D (if I got that right?) Very innovative! And brave, you have my respect. I'm so sad that people in Russia don't have a chance to voice their opinion and have their say what the country does. Democracy is never easy and super straight-forward, but if allowed in Russia, I'm sure the world wouldn't be in such a mess and so many people in such pain and suffering. Including thousands of young Russian soldiers who needlessly ended up their life in that piz**ts.
@@TomTom-ur2xh What makes you so sure? "Whole" young part of the population is against it. Most of the population tries to avoid the subject, to avoid problems at work, at their children schools, not to get fined and jailed, etc. Yep, there are plenty of people who support Putinism, mostly elder, but I'd guess that's not more than 25%, so maybe about as much as people who "openly" opose it. Putins problem is, that this fragile balance is based on a pile of lies that soon or later *will* crash. That doesn't mean thing will change in one day, but this absurd state of reality is unmanageable in a long run.
Another zombie man who eats American propaganda :) Are you seriously going to talk about some kind of democracy? When it is not in any country in the world? Do you know how democracy works in the USA? The elite promotes its candidates, and makes the appearance of choice for the people, that's all your democracy. This war started because NATO wanted to encircle us, since 1991, NATO has been trying to encircle us in order to force either us to surrender or simply destroy us, as you did with 40 countries in the 21st century. This girl in the video is a brainless liberal who does not understand politics and history, and if you believe her or the American mass media, then I'm sorry for you
You must be a pretty weak person if you nearly chocked on a baguette, hearing a phrase on RU-vid. I'm going to assume you're just lying here, for your benefit....Right? By the way, it's Choked....Not "Chocked" Chocked would be what you do when you want to stop the baby stroller you're sitting in from moving. You "Chocked" the wheel.
Just found your channel. You represent the hope I remember for a coming together of the East and West in the 90's that currently feels so lost (and rejected). At some point it has to be renewed as would be the hope and life's work of Mr Gorbachev (as much as he is currently the subject of misplaced blame in Russia). I understand why Ukrainians' cannot feel hope for reconciliation for for a long time, but most in the West hold out hope with no prejudice because folks like you exist. People like you should be seen as the pride of Russia.
We are very proud of you my Russian brothers and sisters , not for that you were with us from the very first time when we were in the crisis but also for our time testing friendship and very strong stable trust for each other.
I think than Ukrainians suffer "a bit" more in the process though. And Russia is still attacking so maybe Russians didn't suffer enough yet. Sorry for the good ones I know that you didn't ask for that but neither did the Ukrainians. I guess your leader likes to make you suffer and it's just the beginning. And still at the end of it, you still will have a long way to go to make amend.
@@YannR34 not us, the USA and the Ukraine, you mean. Yes. A long, very long way. Nobody wanted it, especially the peaceful women and children of Donbass who have been firebombed for 8 years, many of them killed. I don't agree that only lives of Ukranian children matter. I insist that lives of children from Donbass are just as important. Who doesn't think so, is a nazi.
@@ЕвгенияМихайлова-ю1б you learnt your lesson very well, you might ask Putin some reward, maybe on the few remaining TV Channel telling all the same, I heard than some people went to prison for telling a different story than the one allowed, they need to be replaced for sure. 👍
thankyou so much for your honest and balanced portrayal of Russian life, it would be great to hear how sentiment towards the regime and its actions might be changing especially in the light of calls to volunteer in the special military cluster f@#k. stay safe
Hello Nestia. Came across your video by chance. I am from Israel and we have a lot of Russians and Ukranians here (one of my students is also called Nestia). Practically everything you said was echoed by them, even down to the internal conflicts between family and friends. I think I can understand both sides; the older generation are justly patriotic but suffer from tunnel vision and the younger generation (at least some of them) just want to give up and leave. You are the face of that small but precious middle ground of hope, sanity and courage. I like Russian people and they surely deserve a better life. But it seems to me that the only way it will come about is through people like you who try to portray things as honestly as possible . Bravo and keep up the good work!!
Great video. As you say both sides in the conflict are suffering, however only one side started it and only one side can end it immediately. I hope you succeed in getting the Russian society you want and deserve soon!
Nato must stop expanding. The G7 countries think they own the world and doesn't want a stronger Russia or China that can protect the global south. US and its allies must stop now attacking and destroying other countries or threatening big powers that rose from the bottom and are closely related to second and third world countries.
@@adevoidvessel You are raising a prospect that even most Russians don't want - why do you think they are struggling to find personel for the army? Russian strength is great - Russian aggression is not! As a principle all countries, including Ukraine, must be allowed to make their own choices.
As I see what has happened since february, with both sides being unable to get what they really want, this situation has to last for some years. I'm afraid that traumatism will also be awful for lots of russians. Most of european countries consider Russia's a terrorist state now. So you'll have to be brave even after the end of it.
Very well put together video, Nesty. I'm an American and I watch videos created by Russians and Ukrainians. It's a shame that politicians ruin people's lives just for personal gain and to stroke their egos. In America, our current presidential administration is doing the same thing, just differently. I hope things become better for you.
Great, insightful video. I’ve learned a lot about the effects of the war on you and your fellow Russians from this short video. No one’s more affected than those who lost their loved ones in this conflict on both sides. I’m sure no one wants this war except Putin. It’s really a Putin’s senseless war and I hope he comes to his senses pretty soon and hopefully everything can go back to normal for every one in the world. Keep up the great work! Love from USA
here is the one rule I think should be brought back: The leaders whom declare a war SHOULD have to be in the front lines of Fighting that or any war. It was Their idea after all. If this were to come to pass I think wars would drop to zero in one day.
Hi Nesty, I live in Northern Italy, in the past years I have met many Russian tourists, they are good people, we know that this absurd war is not wanted by all Russian citizens. I hope it all ends soon. Videos like yours are useful in keeping the citizens of the world in touch. Thank you😘
Dear Nesty, I feel really sorry for you and all the other (mostly young) Russians who are victims of the current situation. And of course, most of the European people don't hate Russians in general. But there are (many?) people in Russia who support what's going on and unfortunately also abroad living Russians do it in an offensive way. In addition there are multiple reports about robbery and r@pes caused by Russian "soldiers" in Ukraine. That makes the situation for you and others even more difficult. My hope (and my whish) is that we somehow overcome this situation and learn to be acceptable neighbors on this planet. We in Germany had to go this way and we still haven't finished. All the best for you!
Hey bud! If you did a little bit of research, you'd quickly educate yourself that the r*pe allegations were made up by some person in the ukrainian government -- she was promptly let go after her lies were exposed. You have to take anything an everything that comes out about the Russian-ukrainian war with a truckload of salt! neither side is reporting the truth. Don't believe everything you read, don't everything you hear and only believe half of what you see.
@@elektrotehnik94 Bullsh*t.. I'm in Saint Petersburg now, the first time since summer 2019. I just visited several supermarkets and I can easily compare food prices. They are only 0-20% higher than they were before the pandemic. In many countries prices have become 2-3 times more expensive. Except for the imported food and goods from the western part of the world, bread, cheese, vegetables, fruit (including from Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan or Turkey) prices are almost the same as they were 3 years ago. In most of the restaurants I visited prices are 5-20% higher than summer 2019.. Strange how you picture things in Russia.. You're either a Russian self-hater or a Russia-hater even if you're a Russian citizen. No one else could utter such blatant lies..
Hey Nesty what you expriencing now from sanctions, We Iranians expriencing it for decades, We support you and hope this madness ends soon for all of us!
Very informative & straightforward! Please do more videos to keep us educated on what the Russian Youth think of the current status re: effects of future employment, which Russians are leaving if they can & what those who can't but want to feel. There are many other topics, but I don't want be effusive. You seem well educated, well spoken and also very pretty!
My heart breaks for you! No one wins in a war, the people just suffer! Some hate that devours their own soul where they can no longer enjoy life while others feel the pressure of the world on their shoulders! Give that burden to the creator of the Universe! Find a quiet peaceful place with no light and do breathing in a rhythmic way, first do for 15 minutes, 2 times a day is best, give thanks in a grateful manner in a soft, still voice! It has been a God send in many ways when times were tough for me! Then make an affirmation on what you want in your life to take place and it will happen as you request! This secret has been taught by Jesus Christ in such a simple way that it confounds the wise but empowers the simple! People think it is something religious but it is how we are designed! I was trained by a 10th degree blackbelt and this is the greatest thing I learned from him I just did not understand at that time how powerful it is!
You mention Russia becoming isolated from the rest of the world. Remember, we Indians, a population of 1.4 billion, stand by you. Don't worry, during tough times, our bonds grow stronger. Challenges only serve to fortify us
I'm American Indian with friends in Russia , i don't know which country to support . I support USA more as I'm American more but since I'm also Indian so i just naturally like Russia for some reason
For some reason Russia never moved beyond the peasant/serf and king psychology. Through history the nature of peasantry and King change, but the model does not. So now you have the 'mad king' which you cannot remove peacefully.. The Russian people created this situation.
We in the free world do think that the russian families get NO information about the nearly 50.000 young russian soldiers, (sons and brothers of you all though) , who were used as canonfodder and will never come back??? ARE WE WRONG???
Thanks for sharing. Granted, Aeroflot is not able to fly to western countries but there are some big-name airlines that are still flying into Russia - Turkish, Emirates, Air China, etc. I could imagine that those seats maybe pricey as well.
Many people in the west do not blame the Russian people, but Putin. I think in the future many people around the world will welcome the people of Russia to their countries.
Every country stand by its people a state without people is no longer country, government of every country is made by people, if it's against the will of the people only its people had responsible to make the government, people of Russia also had the same responsible hundreds and thousands of people could not put in jail or murder, the coward died sooner but the brave live longer and happy, may not be easy but you can make it I know.
