Yakutsk: Why?
to warm up, in the refrigerator +3,outside -38
yes, why they brand it as something to freeze things when they use it to warm them up.
they can literally just leave their food outside to reheat preserve them later
You would be surprised but they actually have to use the refrigerators to prevent the food items from freezing over.

People are always surprised when I tell them how diverse Russia is. Mainstream media outlets (e.g. news, games, movies, ...) never does a great job in showing how diverse and weird places are
Because Russia does not accept them as a different culture and country thats why we dont know its your president dictator fault not west countties fault! Stop praising your president Vladimir Adolf Kaputin and everyone will see your culture and country!
That's what happens when people get their education from the news instead of reading a book or meeting people. Most people in Moscow don't even know how diverse Russia is.
I had suspicion about Russia being way more diverse than it seems to be when I knew Sakhalin and Kamchatka share an ethnicity with Hokkaido (i.e. the Ainu). With landmass that big, it's impossible for Russia to have only two ethnicities.
"It must be way more," I thought back then. I used Indonesia for comparison because Indonesia is quite diverse as well.
As it turns out, my assumption is right.
@@adityairawan1843 This was commonly taught when I was in school. However this video and many of the comments in here present it as some harmonious co existence that has always been like that, it's not. This is the result of "Russiafication" the "soviet forced settlement plan" and "population transfer". Under stalin the Soviets forcefully relocated and murdered 10's of millions of people. A good example was "Operation Lentil" from February to March 1944 when Stalin deported half a million Chechens murdering half of them in the process.

I was born in the southernmost city of Russian federation, which name is Derbent. It's also the oldest city of this country(was founded about 2000-5000 y.a.).

Hello! I live in Russia, or rather in one of the republics that you forgot to mention, but showed on the map - this is Buryatia. You told interesting facts about national peculiarities. But what the hell are you talking about at the end of the video? It is not true. Small national languages are not oppressed here. In my region, two languages are used and studied: Russian and local Buryat. The situation is similar in other republics. The gradual loss of national cultural values occurs naturally, perhaps due to globalization.
Bla, bla, bla!
If they are not oppressed, then what language is used at school? Do they teach you mostly russian and leave an hour or two for your own language?
Do you live in the conditions moscow lives (it only has money because it sells your lands natural resources).
Tomorrow your nations will disappear from the land, but moscow still will have your resources to use.
You are blind if you cannot see that russia is using its minorities as meat in all the wars it starts. Many of those nations that russia occupies have been disappearing. Some of them we have never heard of and their population is less than 4000 people.

So if Russia has internal "republics" with their own laws and cultures and Moscow controls them with a national constitution is bad, but if the United States have 50 different states with diverse "cultures" and their own laws, obeying to the National Constitution, is a good thing?
We don't exactly have much internal laws, also not only republics but any other type of a "subject" of a federation(in the US, there are only states), as they are equal
some federal laws take some ethnical minorities into consideration, like the ones who have to hunt to survive have easier access to firearms, etc
It's called "shameless western hypocrisy", which is a top value in those parts of the world..
Despite the fact that all these lands have been part of Russia for centuries, even before such a hypocritical state as the United States appeared. And now these roosters are trying to dictate the rules of the existence of the Russian state. We have preserved all these peoples and cultures, their faiths and traditions and have been preserving them for centuries, hundreds of large and small nationalities have been living together on these lands for hundreds of years. Meanwhile, the Europeans destroyed almost all the indigenous peoples and turned North America into one big biomass.

@millio that’s exactly what happened with the American states in the 1800s
Greetings from the Republic of Buryatia
So the big difference is that The Russian Federation, included/annexed its natives in the territories. Whereas the United States wiped them out almost entirely.
Well natives of america did fight back. it was really complicated expansion including many things. russian expansion into siberia and beyond was mostly bloodless since it wasn't very populated and it was mostly smaller settlements
@@c.h.1839 I think you and I both know that has less to do with how populous the settlements were, and more with the intent and beliefs the people held about the places and people they were colonizing.

True, but more than 90% of Native Americans did die to disease tho.
Russian natives weren’t separated from the world so they had all of the antibodies to fight the diseases, so they didn’t die from them.
@@joshbentley2307 you do realize that diseases were actively used as biological agents to purposely infect natives by the European settlers right? There is actual correspondence between Europe and Colonials that discusses this.
To the Americans calling this the same as "states", I'm not sure you understand how extremely different this really is lmao.

They have destroyed the nation, killed and forced to leave 90 percent of population! And that's all for have access to Black sea
@@asiyata5610 1. My precious asian friend, the different Caucasian tribes were in a such long war not because of theirs unwavering will and endless courage. They just hadn't one single structure. There wasn't one united state, which was in a war with Russian Empire. And eventually look at the geography of this region. For example, The Moscow state seized and annexed the Kazan Khanate in less than a month. So it's important as well.
2. Just imagine the Indian tribes had a war with the Spanish Empire twice as much as Russia with caucasian ones - and America had a war with them three times more. Therefore, if we judge this way, it is normal for such large empires.
This area actually was held by Circassian people, known also as Adyge, several millions, but were killed by russians or forced to flee, so this is not unfair.
I remember the "Western Media" have ago at Russia for not having a "diverse" playing squad in their World Cup squad during the 2018 World Cup, even though in [FACT] they had a diverse squad, with players originally from many different regions of Russia. Just because they didn't have any black players like those of France, England etc (i.e. those which colonised African and/or the Caribbean) doesn't mean they didn't have a diverse playing squad.
This video is on point with regards to the diversity of Russia.
Why is Western Europe so obsessed with black people anyways
Half of Europe in east, call it East Europe is "Russia", from the White Sea in north to Black Sea in south or from Kanin's nos(e) in noth to Tongue of Arabath in south. Ethnically Russia is the whitest of the white people. There might be a few sub-Saharan Africans (Blacks) who reside there for studies or some business. But by & large Russia doesn't have Blacks, but many Asians from erst-while republics in USSR. Hence no racial issue here (unless one wants to provoke them or wants to highlight a nonexistent issue). Russia has a powerful football team as also the erstwhile Muslims republics (in Central Asia). She is entirely secular which implies the "State" (federal government) is disinterested or even indifferent to religious aspirations of the people. They are free to pursue their spiritual proclivities and can have whatever they want by way of religion. Some federal subjects (somewhat below a republic & above a province) have complete autonomy, unless one of them wants to wreck the federation, through their over-zealous religiosity and if the reaction of the State (federal government) is visible, it is justified.
So, why do you want to imterpret a football team composition in terms of ethnic sharp edges?

One thing is having a minority language as vehicular language of teaching and another thing is having it taught as a foreign language. For instance, during Soviet times, Lithuanians was the vehicular language of education, while Russian language was a mandatory subject taught as a foreign language. What makes an adult person's mother tongue is not their parent's mother tongue, but the vehicular language of their education. That happened in France, when the creation of the Education Nationals ended with the regional languages. There are many historical examples showing it such changes in mother tongue thanks to mandatory changes in the vehicular language of education: Brussels in the end of the XIX and begining of the XIX Century (from Dutch to French), Catalonia in the last 40 years (from Spanish to Catalan), Moselle in the middle of the XX Century (from German to French) etc.

Nobody in Russia wants to get rid of republics or diminish their cultural contribution. It’s just how things is in every federal government system. Center takes it all, capital takes it all. These territories are difficult to reach and to set there any programs. It’s much more complicated than just evil Putin.

learning Hungarian acually brought me here.. Why? well, Khanty-Mansyisk autonomous "okrug" is, by far, the most interesting of things regarding different etnicities of Russia..Well, I am from Serbia and speak several languages and have an interest in linguistics and have been learning Hungarian for some time now, since I live in a multi-national, autonomous area of Vojvodina and am half-Hungarian myself. the thing that interests me is how are the only Hungarian (in the heart of Europe) lingual relatives ( from the same branch), Khanty and Mansi languages from Western Siberia .. and they have an autonomous province within Russia with a capital called Khanty-Mansiysk.. It looks very beautiful and listening to the languages of these Uralic tribes clearly shows their connection to Hungarian but have adopted a more Russian tone and vocabulary during the centuries, like Hungarian has adopted Slavic an Germanic loanwords and vocabulary.. The simmilarities are obvious more than with the Finnic language branch (Finnish, Estonian..) which have had separate ways for abou 4,500 years .. So the connection of a european language and people to two
Siberian tribes brought me here, cos I assumed that everybody already knew that, as a "Federation", Russia consists of republics . And the tightened grip is reasonable after seeing Kosovo's violent independence that was gained by an extensive bombing campaign by 16 countries (unauthorized by the UN) and seeing how Crimean independence was controversial without shots fired .. really shows the hypocrisy of the "West")
Wow

Thank you for the comment, I agree with you. I simply don’t know how people still think that Hungarian language is from the Finnic language branch, I can’t even think of any real similarities.
I've been to Khanty Mansiysk in 2012. Completely new town, everything is owned by Gasrprom and Lukoil and constructed after 2007. It even has arena for winter sports with bigger capacity than Belgrade arena. The closest inhabited village is 700km away. The majority of the 35 000 inhaitants are descendants of former gulag prisoners from Ukraine. Old natives (Khanty and Mansy) are very rare and almost non existent.

Thats all Circassian (Adyghe) territory, not "krasnodar" territory. After the 1763 - 1864 Russo-Circassian war, 90% of the Circassians were either killed or forcely deported to the ottoman empire.

It's like the difference between Ruskij and Rossiyanin - first is a place of the Ruskij nationality, the second is a citizen of a country.
Most Russians are part of the country, but not all RF citizens are Russians.
The way you described it makes Russian FEDERATION (duh, it's a federation so being surprised that it hides "countries" in it is just silly) is some kinda colonial superpower that bleeds its colonies dry, when in fact, it's not.
While Russian republics do have their own constitutions and their own governing bodies, they have always been (including the times of the Soviet Union) governed mostly under the centralised model, starting from its education system and law-inforcement all the way to its media and the Internet. There are no restriction of movement or travel and no discrimination between citizens from non-central regions v the central ones (from a political stand-point naturally)
The people between republics don't at all feel like they are from different places and the entire culture has been largely unified. They feel they are Russians first and whatever Republic or other regional district second (By Russian I mean Russian citizen. English language doesn't make a distinction between a citizen and someone from a slavic ethnic group but in Russian there are two different words for these different things)
An interesting fact is that despite the ethnical diversity in Russia (and this diversity is huge) and racial diversity (mainly coming from the fact that half of the country is in Asia, while the other in Europe) there was never any problem of race or nationality in it, because the native people were never oppressed or slighted (except the time of the Soviet Union when they were forced to teach their children to speak in Russian, causing much harm to the preservation of cultural heritage, but that was motivated by the fact that the Soviet Union wanted to mold every citizen under a single kind of model rather than an issue of discrimination) and no matter ethnicity everyone was treated with the same level of benefits and duties.
A lot of western countries and people have some kind of humorous overly exaggerated image of a Russia from the action movies from the 90s that constantly wants to scheme and oppress someone and what else does come from this quite open window of Internet makes the modern Russia seem like an entirely different planet of vodka-drinking profanity-spewing Adidas-wearing mad slavs but you gotta understand that it's a country that is the same as others and deserves a bit more of an objective and deeper than a surface-level view to it than this.
