Childhood
The girl was a hyper-active child: she played tennis, drawing, playing golf, skiing, practicing swimming, horse riding and figure skating. She also speaks English, Italian and Greek.
Sasha lived in many countries: in Italy, Switzerland, but Sasha spent the most memorable time in Cyprus, due to the fact that she was sick a lot, subsequently she developed asthma, and ultimately she needed a good climate.
In the fifth grade, Sasha Spielberg became interested in music, performing on stage, later she connected this hobby with her.
After a while, Sasha returns to Russia, after defeating the disease, but falls into depression due to a lack of friends.

Creation
Sasha linked her career with YouTube, making a channel in English, posting various videos, especially covers, where she has already gained a considerable number of foreign fans. She liked it, but not her parents. Subsequently, they were sent abroad to a boarding school, which Sasha Spielberg did not like. But she found her first love there. But Sasha did not part with her lover for a long time after arriving in Russia, but she had to do this because of the large distance between them.
So she becomes a video blogger on another try, and this time in Russian.
Blogger career
Sasha's channel was created in 2010, but she began to upload videos much later due to the fact that her parents made an agreement with her that no one would know about her last name, which is quite likely another reason for the appearance of the pseudonym "Spielberg". At the moment, Sasha's channel already has more than 4 million subscribers.
Gradually, the blogger becomes famous not only on the Internet, but also in traditional media. For example, she starred in a commercial for Unilever's Cornetto ice cream, where she sang a real ice cream anthem, along with DJ Leonid Rudenko

Singing career
Sasha, in parallel with video blogging, also posted songs with video clips, which also became popular. Sasha writes songs on his own.
Sasha Spielberg also collaborated with already famous singers like Alexander Panayotov.

An excerpt characterizing Sasha Spielberg (video blogger)
And, looking around the room, he turned to Rostov, whom he did not deign to notice, and said:- You, it seems, told about the Shengraben affair? You were there?
“I was there,” Rostov said angrily, as if by this wishing to offend the adjutant.
Bolkonsky noticed the state of the hussar, and it seemed to him amusing. He smiled slightly contemptuously.
- Yes! now there are many stories about this case!
- Yes, stories, - Rostov spoke loudly, looking now at Boris, then at Bolkonsky with suddenly maddened eyes, - yes, there are many stories, but our stories are stories of those who were in the very fire of the enemy, our stories have weight, and not the stories of those staff thugs who receive awards without doing anything.
“Which ones do you suppose I belong to?” - Prince Andrew said calmly and with a particularly pleasant smile.
A strange feeling of anger and, at the same time, respect for the serenity of this figure was united at this time in Rostov's soul.
“I’m not talking about you,” he said. “I don’t know you, and I confess I don’t want to know.” I'm talking generally about the staff.
“And I’ll tell you what,” Prince Andrew interrupted him with calm authority in his voice. “You want to insult me, and I’m ready to agree with you that it’s very easy to do if you don’t have enough respect for yourself; but you must admit that both the time and the place are very badly chosen for this. One of these days we will all have to be in a big, more serious duel, and besides, Drubetskoy, who says that he is your old friend, is not at all to blame for the misfortune of my face that you do not like. However, ”he said, getting up,“ you know my name and you know where to find me; but do not forget, ”he added,“ that I do not consider myself or you in the least insulted, and my advice, as a person older than you, is to leave this matter without consequences. So on Friday, after the show, I'm waiting for you, Drubetskoy; goodbye, - concluded Prince Andrew and left, bowing to both.
Rostov remembered what he had to answer only when he had already left. And he was even more angry for forgetting to say this. Rostov at once ordered his horse to be brought in, and, having dryly said goodbye to Boris, drove off to his place. Should he go to the headquarters tomorrow and call this breaking adjutant or, in fact, leave it this way? there was a question that tormented him all the way. Either he thought angrily about the pleasure with which he would see the fright of this small, weak and proud man under his pistol, then he felt with surprise that of all the people he knew, he would not have so much wanted to have as his friend. as this aide-de-camp he hated.
On the next day of Boris's meeting with Rostov, there was a review of the Austrian and Russian troops, both fresh ones who had come from Russia and those who had returned from the campaign with Kutuzov. Both emperors, Russian with the heir to the crown prince and Austrian with the archduke, made this review of the allied 80 thousandth army.
From early in the morning, the smartly cleaned and cleaned troops began to move, lining up on the field in front of the fortress. Then thousands of feet and bayonets moved with fluttering banners and, at the command of the officers, stopped, turned around and formed at intervals, bypassing other similar masses of infantry in different uniforms; then the well-dressed cavalry in blue, red, green embroidered uniforms with embroidered musicians in front, on black, red, gray horses, sounded with a measured stomp and clanging; then, stretching out with its brass sound of shaking on carriages, cleaned, shiny cannons and with its own smell of pallets, the artillery crawled between the infantry and cavalry and placed itself in the designated places. Not only generals in full dress uniform, with extremely thick and thin waists tied up and reddened, backed collars, necks, scarves and all orders; not only well-oiled, dressed-up officers, but every soldier - with a fresh, washed and shaved face and ammunition cleaned to the last possible shine, every horse, groomed so that, like satin, its fur shone like satin, and a hair soaked to the hair lay a wet mane, - everyone felt that something serious, significant and solemn was happening. Each general and soldier felt their insignificance, conscious of themselves as a grain of sand in this sea of people, and together they felt their power, conscious of themselves as a part of this huge whole.
Intense efforts and efforts began in the early morning, and at 10 o'clock everything was in order. Rows of ranks stood on the huge field. The whole army was stretched out in three lines. Cavalry in front, artillery behind, infantry still behind.
Between each row of troops there was, as it were, a street. Three parts of this army were sharply separated from one another: the combat Kutuzovskaya (in which the Pavlograd people were on the right flank in the front line), the army and guards regiments that came from Russia, and the Austrian army. But everyone stood under one line, under one command and in the same order.
An agitated whisper swept through the leaves like the wind: “They're coming! are coming! " Frightened voices were heard, and a wave of bustle of the last preparations ran through all the troops.
