Dinara

[vintageclara]

I know that's very silly of me, but I'm genuinely disappointed in Dinara... Before all of this I kind of enjoyed her, she had her problems, like Minerva and the toxic positivity, but she also addressed the lows of her life and since at the time I felt pretty low too I could i kind of empathize with her! So between that and the fact that I dig her general aesthetic I used to like her, but now I just can't see her in the same way! This pandemic really opened my eyes on a loooot of influencers and people in general... so so so disappointed

i haven't logged in on tattle since january? february? and haven't been following any studytuber at all!!!! i'm trying to recap a little hehe, what has jade done lately?

she is now in South Korea, having taken an illegal trip from Germany to Switzerland with a boyfriend/fling. It was pointed out and she made an "apology" video that was in no way an apology. She has been travelling around the city of Seoul unneccessarily and when people pointed out this, socialising closely with loads of people she just went radio silence for months. She is now fluent in Korean and German

I love how she has a picture from earlier shocked that she saw a fox in central london they're absolutely everywhere in London.
In my old flat which was pretty central the noise they'd make in the middle of the night was... disturbing

Was it actually denied, is that speculation?

Watch her last video.

She was in Turkey, waiting to hear back about it. At 6:15 she says "I never wanted to go remote (living at home and attending class online), that's not my plan, I love to be with other students and I love experiencing the cities, so I'm planning to go to San Francisco"

She said that cause she is a Russian citizen, her F1 (student) visa for America needed to be renewed and had reapplied and was waiting to hear back. Her case was not considered an emergency (thank god, entitled brat - there's people needing to see family urgently / medical reasons ect. ) so hearing back was taking a long time.

She was in Turkey just waiting to hear from the embassy and get the visa to reunite with her friends in San Fran (9:00 mins). We can safely assume that her Visa was denied or took too long that she had to return home to Russia.

From her last stories you can definetly tell that she's anti lockdown... not a great look!

not a good look but not a total surprise.. tthat Taiwan commment is so odd, maybe we are somehow interpreting it wrong but it 100% sounds like she didn't want to go, which I think is very insulting to Taiwan tbh

I get the not be too stressed by uni part, I think that when I remember to make time for relaxing and hobbies, I am overall happier and I get better results at uni. That said, I think Dinara, Jade ecc... Take that a bit to the Extreme! Studying is still my priority, it's my job!

And all this talk about "making a difference"... okay, but how? Talking about positivity on YouTube? Creating a business where women can not work when they are on their period? (Dinara's plan)

To make a real difference they could not go out every day all the time during a global pandemic?
Social distance? Do not travel so much right now?
But that's just what they tell their subjects to do! Us common people should definitely "stay safe! Stay home and social distance!" While they do what they want because they can't possibly miss out on their experiences! Their experiences are so much important than everyone else's!

Following this line of thought Dinara also said that she won't "restrict" her travels because for some people travelling is a necessity, and I was like ?????? What does that mean?????? Would I like to be somewhere else on holiday right now? Well yes! Can I do that? No, now that's not a good idea! I too had to cancel a few trips for this Christmas season Dinara, but yeah I guess that for her is a NeCeSsIty so it's okay!

I can't find the place where I originally read it on her insta... I don't know if she changed it or if it just disappeared from her stories or something

 

[emm]

and now in san francisco again! congratulations dinara, you're the worst

I would say it is a pretty close competition between her and unjaded jade

 

[Magallanes]

can someone explain to me why dinara's old flatmates are quarantining? did they also travel abroad and now that's why she has to stay in a different flat?
btw how does she afford all the traveling and accommodations without a job? i know she receives financial help from minerva but ??

Thoughts? I don't live in the UK, so I don't really know if what she's saying is right... I mean, maybe the lockdown had already been discussed? In Italy the new restrictions have been declared a couple of days ago, but we already knew them for about a week at that point!

If she has so valid reasons and follows rules then why block people for asking her to respect countries by respecting the rules. Scotland has had stricter rules for a while now. You aren't supposed to travel from "worse" area to "better" area anyways. I haven't seen my boyfriend who lives in England for nearly a year now BC of vivid. I currently live in Scotland but the current rules prevent us from meeting. I'm not a saint with rules either but travelling is exactly how you spread the virus to areas that are doing okay.

I assume she has rich parents tbh, most people's parents wouldn't be able to pay for one uni then let them leave halfway through for another massively expensive one imo.
Her latest stories about "visions".... this ridiculous thing of manifesting what you want is driving me mad

Im slowly starting to be able to work again and Scotland looks like it might be going back into lockdown and I’m so angry, I’m tempted to email a link to Dinara’s IG post to Minerva to complain about her travelling to Scotland before England goes into lockdown

I’m not going to do it, but I’m so mad at her right now

 

[emm]

I was thinking the same haha. I think they just want to make money from their followers and what could be easier than creating a club with their fans? And people actually pay for their meditations and oh-so-useful life advice...



Yeah the castle was pretty similar, I believe it was a community for mental health(?)

I mean their degrees don’t really prepare them for any other job do they

 

[emm]

I thought she would be staying in dubai for a while but it was just (yet another!) holiday! unbelievable

 

[notreplying]

we definitely knew a lockdown was coming at that point... all it shows if she's telling the truth is that minerva's vaunted global education teaches them nothing about interpreting the news

I haven’t commented on Dinara’s thread before but re her heritage, she will be Central Asian- either from the independent stans or Tatarstan- Tatarstan is part of Russia but Tatar people are quite distinct from Russian ethnically and culturally. I wonder if she’s possibly Kyrgyz because she actually shares her name with a popular Kyrgyz singer who is about the right age for her parents to have named her after her. But she looks more Tatar or Turkmen/Tajik. All of the Central Asian peoples from Tatarstan and the independent stans face horrendous racism in Russia, so any of those would fit with what she’s said. Tatar would be more likely if she doesn’t want to reveal it though, most Tatars I’ve known will just refer to themselves as Russian. I don’t know her living situation, but if her parents live in an affluent area of Moscow in a nice apartment etc, it’s more likely she’s Tatar.

but if she had a big source of income at home she wouldn't have received financial aid in the first place...mmm

Thing is, her financial aid could be anywhere from $1,000 to $30,000 - I don't think she has indicated to what extent Minerva covers her fees. So she could still technically be receiving financial aid even if her family is fairly well-off. It's my impression that because of the huge costs of Minerva, unless your family income is in the $100,000s, you are probably eligible for some sort of aid even if it's just a few thousand $.

After learning that so many of the costs of Minerva aren't covered by their financial aid (health insurance and flights are just one which will run up into the thousands each year), I'm struggling to understand the claims that there's Minerva students who have zero family income and come from really poor backgrounds who are still able to study there. How are they affording the non-insignificant costs that Minerva's aid doesn't cover? I wonder if the Minerva standards of what qualifies as low income are a bit... skewed.

In her first ig post of London she is holding a coffee mug outside. So is coffee shops now essential too while in quarantine? Also has she heard of this thing called online delivery.

She’s in Dubai now

There’s so many issues surrounding Dubai and tourism, and there’s a bloody pandemic to top it off.

What a joke.

The pandemic clearly only effects the “poor”. If you’re rich you can do wtf you want! So over it. Fucking unbelievable.

 

[opal73]

Looks like graduating Minerva she’s selling virtual meditation sessions and taking dance classes

if anyone cares

 

[emm]

literally why is she there? stupid girl. stay in your country with your family and save your travel for a more appropriate time. I'm sick to death of studytubers and she is one of the worst

she is 100% one of the people who don't think the pandemic is serious and that we are being restricted for govts to gain control. I personally hope she is not granted the next visa for the US, I think she has to do some kind of project there? not only would it be punishment for her being so irresponsible, but it would show how absurd the minerva model is, no university charges foreign people until they have been granted a visa, but obviously with their model of moving around this isn't possible
