Alsou Kasimova, a graduate in Journalism, 海角直播, has started her own video channel 鈥淢y Country Home鈥�. Today, she has published her first video, titled 鈥淗omecoming in a Summer Fairy Tale鈥�.
鈥淚 have been thinking about creating my own channel on rural aesthetics for a long time,鈥� Alsou confirms. 鈥淭his year, I have graduated the Faculty of Philology, and decided to arrange my last summer vacation. So, it seems like a right moment for the start, for I have enough time and strive for it.鈥�
鈥淔or me, summer is always associated with childhood. Probably, every summer vacation I visited my grandmother鈥檚 village. Even now, as an adult, I still have this thrill of returning to my homeland,鈥� Alsou recollects.
Built over 60 years ago, Alsou鈥檚 family house is located in a far Russian village of Yuski, in the Udmurt Republic. Alsou鈥檚 grandmother has been living in that house almost her life. The family has a little farm and a garden, four sheep, a flock of chickens, five cats and a dog.
鈥淢y favorite place in our house is the summer room. This is my sanctuary, a place that fully fits my aesthetic,鈥� Alsou says. 鈥淢y channel will talk about life in a country home. If you, like me, being in the city, miss nature and countryside, then here you can enjoy this atmosphere!鈥�
Alsou plans to promote her project, and maybe turn it into business someday. For now, she sees it as a chance to improve her shooting and story-telling skills. Interested in Russian language and country life? Learn cats鈥� and dog鈥檚 names, which Alsou mentions in her video:
Myshka = Mouse;
Plusha = Bun, or Fluffy (depends on a context);
Knopochka = Snappy, or Girlie (homonyms in Russian);
Kolobok = Roly-Poly;
Barsik = Tigger, or Panther Cub;
Druzhok = Friend.
鈥淎ddressing the foreign audience, I would like to tell my native citizens how village life could be colorful and full of sense, showing it in a positive, aesthetical way,鈥� Alsou confesses. 鈥淚 was also thinking, if Russian and Udmurt words could be of an interest to our audience.鈥�
To remind, the Faculty of Philology at 海角直播, teaches various professions, to mention brand managers, journalists, press-secretaries, producers, copyrighters, TV- and radio staff, librarians, teachers of Russian, philologists, publishers, content managers, speech and script writers, bloggers.
