Who is the Princess of Uzbekistan, really? I spent a few weeks talking to experts and scouring the internet to get a better understanding of who she is, what she’s done, and what exactly makes her one of the most hated women in Uzbekistan.

Special Thanks to Natalia Antelava, Kristian Lasslett, Andrew Stroehlein, and everyone in Uzbekistan who shared their stories with me.

I'm a YouTuber from Uzbekistan. Johnny, thank you for this well-researched episode. This truly delves into the darkest side of our recent history and the greatest robbery ever to happen to Uzbekistan. I was aware of all this corruption, but I was amazed at how openly she used to write about everything on Twitter. That's insane! 🤯

As a guy from Uzbekistan all you you have said are actually true. However you missed worst parts of the story. She tried sell our gold, but plane carrying the gold bars were plundered by Putin's regime when the flew through Russia. Overall damage of Gulnara to our country to be estimated 15$ billion not 842 millions. Imagine those amount of money was distributed to ordinary people. She was a really insatiable beast. I can't imagine her being our leader. I think it would be interesting if you make a video about his father.

As a citizen of Uzbekistan, I can tell you that the saddest part is that people are not aware of these things. Media doesn't dare to touch this topic. People are brainwashed by propaganda and still think that she is a hero and feel sorry for her spending her time in prison. Our people are waking up eventually. Thank you for your effort and attention!

I recall myself as a young boy, around the age of 14 or 15, picking cotton in the fields instead of attending my school. Meanwhile, Gulnara was walking confidently down international catwalks, promoting her clothing brand, which was built on the hardships endured by children like me.

This felt like a 30-minute tiktok, so much going on, so much sounds effects and vfx.

Please lower the cuts! I can't focus on the contents anymore. I'm just seeing some shots and listening to some voices

Hey Johnny: I generally like the super-informal studio scene, but you overdid it this time. The editing is atrocious, unfortunately. Very, very distracting.

As a follower from Uzbekistan who never skips any of your videos, I'd never expected to see you doing video about the hugest thief of Uzbekistan. Wow!

Some of the "dramatic editing" is too over the top and really distasteful. It's like watching indian soap opera but for mini-documents.

English is not my first language, and even though I have a high level of proficiency in English, this was still difficult to follow. I can see that you were taking us through your own mental workflow, and I really appreciate the artistic aspect of this editing. However, please keep in mind that you have people watching from all over the world, and with this type of editing, we can easily lose track of the story while trying to keep up with the noises, movement, voices overlapping other voices, and the fast pace... Since this is my first comment here, I just wanted to add that your work is impeccable and truly inspiring! I'm looking forward to seeing your next videos.

When she screams for her father, you can tell by her tone she knows she's about to have a really rough time in prison.

The edit on this one was all over the place, it felt so much more chaotic. A LOT of keyboard and mouse noices. It distracted me from the story. Either way keep the good work you guys are great

This is intended as constructive feedback and not a criticism of your work, but I found this video to be excessively chaotic. The combination of keyboard sounds, multiple voiceovers overlapping, water spilling, eating sounds, and drinking/slurping didn't seem to fit well in a documentary-style format. It felt more suitable for a fast-paced TikTok video. However, I did appreciate the detailed information provided and the parts of the video that were less chaotic worked quite effectively. The content and story were very interesting as well.

Something about the editing made this difficult to watch.

Anybody else felt the weird editing distracting from the story compared to his over videos? I found this story interesting and then it would weirdly cut someone talking with clicking and keyboard typing that found ut hard to follow.

This is meant as constructive criticism and not a dig at you but this video was far to chaotic. Keyboard sounds, 6-8 different vo over top of each other, water spilling, eating food, and drinking/slurping. It just doesn’t fit in a documentary style format. If it was a TikTok video with a subway surfers and gta on top of it I would understand. I do like the details you went into on everything and the parts that weren’t chaos really worked well.

The editing was kind of weird. No need to see all the emails being sent and the lady fixing her seating and all the keyboard stuff is really annoying. But the story was important
