Anastasia Radzinskaya, also known as Nastya, is a young Russian YouTuber. Anastasia was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. At that time, doctors were worried that Anastasia would never be able to speak.
Reporting from CNBC Indonesia, Anastasia's parents then deliberately documented their child's development after he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Before creating the YouTube channel, Anastasia's mother, Anna, owned a bridal salon in Krasnodar, while her father, Sergey, owned a small construction company.
In 2015, Anastasia's parents sold the company, and in January 2016, they created a YouTube channel which then grew very rapidly. Her parents made videos showing Anastasia doing various activities, such as playing with her father and showing off toys to show her progress to her family.
Unexpectedly, the video they uploaded received extraordinary attention from the public. Anastasia's views and subscribers continue to increase. In 2018, Anastasia and her family moved to Miami, Florida.

In an interview, Anastasia's parents said that they did not dream of fame and fortune when they posted the daughter's first video on YouTube on January 25, 2016, two days before her second birthday. They just wanted to prove that Anastasia was not seriously ill, quoted from the Hindustan Times.
After doctors diagnosed Anastasia with cerebral palsy, her parents did not believe it and said the diagnosis was wrong. When they first witnessed their daughter making significant verbal progress, they were overjoyed and wanted to capture it on video.

Not only can Anastasia talk, but the little girl also looks impressive on screen. In the end, a video showing Anastasia playing with colorful slime generated tens of thousands of views.
“It was surreal,” Anna said. “We don't understand what's going on.”

Nastya attends a private school five days a week. He also studies Mandarin and Spanish in his free time, according to his parents. Nastya also takes singing, acting and dancing classes.
Every weekend, his family records two videos. “He is very talented; he is very creative. “Out of every situation, out of everything, he was able to make something unusual,” said his parents.
Her parents said they would not force Anastasia to work more than she wanted and that most of her income was kept in a separate bank account.
“It all depends on him. “If she wakes up tomorrow and says she doesn't want to do it, we won't do it,” said Anastasia's parents.
