God bless you. I can not imagine how hard it was to walk away and then share the reasons with strangers. viewing russians like you is good for my view point. I have to keep reminding myself that their are many good people in Russia and not everyone is brain washed.

I have been very touched by your story and very much admire your principles and bravery. I cannot imagine how hard it has been for you to leave your homeland and the life that you had created, especially when you didn't have arrangements in place. Best of luck. I look forward to watching your future vlogs.

Prayers to you, your family, friends and the people of Russia.

Only admiration for your bravery. Thank you for sharing.

These thoughts of yours reveal that Russians have a great and wonderful soul. It takes a lot of courage, determination and a noble and kind heart to face these difficult life decisions. We are very proud of these wonderful Russians. Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing your reasons for making a new life outside Russia. It is so good to hear from you, and in the US I am totally in agreement. You are good and principled people.

[tysoy]

We share your values...the good will always prevail. God bless your new life in Armenia. I wish you both happiness, good health & prosperity.

I am from indonesia Alisa, and I can understand what you are going through with Max. I hope you and Max will find out soon where will you go and settle down without even worried about the war. I am very happy that you share your feelings with us, and I support you and Max 100%! I subscribe to your youtube chanel and I hope to hear from you in the next episode. In the meantime, take care both of you and enjoy Armenia.

[Mike-wrom]

It is very comforting to know there are Russians like you, who completely disagree with the authoritarian and imperialist character of the Putin regime. Good luck to you!

[williamdeypres]

You made the right moral choice. Freedom and liberty triumphs over dictatorship and oppression.

[dereckjtbear]

A very refreshing perspective from people who think, share what majority of people in Europe feel and love about freedom, speak their minds.

[jeaninekeating]

I loved this video. I think i would have left Russia if i was put in your position. You are much better off living somewhere where you feel safe.
Best of luck whereever life takes you.

Wishing you two and pets a very happy life ❣️

[jts-xk]

I feel you are a kind person. That is evident by your reaction to Putin’s war against Ukraine, and your decision to leave Russia. It took great courage for both you and Max to stand on principal . If you ever decide to leave Armenia, please think of Canada as possible country that accepts immigrants each year who are anxious for a new life with the kind of freedom you desire.

Great insight leaving when you did, looks like another wave of mobilisation is around the corner.

[williammcbain]

More power to you. I admire your courage. Keep up the positive attitude.

Know that lots of people around the globe are with you, and you do everyone a great service by informing us with the truth of what's going on in Russia, as told through the pain of why you left. I applaud your courage! Russia has so much potential that's wasted, and it's going to be people of your generation that someday will pick up the pieces and heal that part of the world. I'm an American whose Old-Believer grandparents left Russia before the 1917 revolution. We have similar problems (our most recent madman is likely headed for prison) and potential in America that also hasn't been fully realized yet. The internet is a wonderful tool to expose the truth, where everyone can see it.
