There are 2 big problems with all this. One is, who thinks it's ever a good idea to visit a couple who consist of your Ex and close friend, who also lived with you and left you behind. A big hurdle right there. Second, why she is allowed to storm in every place she visits and take over is quite frightening, whether here or Val & Jul, or Tatiana, wherever she goes it becomes 'her' place. So i agree with a lot of your post, this kind of situation cannot work and if Sasha did finally speak his mind, i don't blame him. I have seen Jul look at her at times and seem genuinely scared. Masha is always 'On stage' whenever in front of a camera, look how much calmer Sasha is since he left her. Add on top of all that, is her clear and obvious reliance on 'enhancers', which will do her mood/nerves no good at all.
