# Valeriya

Valeriya (TikTok: @crazygirlval6) is a Russian content creator Harry met in
[Bali](/places/bali.md) who became his guide to [Moscow](/places/moscow.md). Living in Moscow
for three years and loving it, she gives Harry the local picture of
[Russia](/countries/russia.md): sanctions' everyday effects, why she rates
Moscow safer than London, 101-roses dating culture, and her grandparents'
fond memories of hard Soviet times. She also officiates his novelty
marriage — to her, via vending machine, seven children decreed.
