Does this fit your STEREOTYPE of a SIBERIAN CITY? - The coal mining capital of Russia - Kuzbass. Is this Siberia?
Thanks everyone for watching! Let us know below, if this was how you expected a Siberian city to be or not? If you enjoyed the video please give it a thumbs up, really helps!
And if you haven't already make sure to subscribe for more videos from our travels!
I know Russia mainly from Michał Pater YT channel but he is showing it from totally different perspective - hitchhiking across the country, sleeping in the forest, visiting random people who invite him. It is nice to see things from slightly different angle.
Thanks mate really appreciate it, glad you are enjoying our vids!

Чёт я не понял, канал россиянский? Ещё поди и кемеровские? )
Great video but is the ugly music really that necessary? Hard to watch but I love Russia.
так приятно видеть, что про мой родной город снимают подобные видео)
Скоро к бабушке приедем, ещё будем снимать ))
Жесть какая! Как тут жить можно?
У нас у Кадетства памятник шикарный новый, на Московской площади новые спортивные постройки, на пр.Химиков вузы строят, весь бульвар Строителей очень красивый - это я только с точки зрения Ленинского района говорю. А так в целом город становится лучше и краше, люблю родной Кемерово) И погода у нас довольно комфортная для Сибири, не сильно холодно)

Hi guys! Thanks for such an amazing work. I am from Kemerovo, and you captured the spirit quite well.
I’ve been living in Kemerovo for 22 years, and it is even more beautiful in real life, especially in summer, with all the birches and pines and flowers around the city.
Siberia is criminally underrated by travellers. Everyone thinks it’s cold as hell and people are mean. It is cold as hell indeed, but not always, and the people are really kind, educated and funny 🤍❄️
Don’t know about educated but its sure beautiful indeed. Im a foreign student here and man I can’t stop going outside for a walk😂😂😂
Proves that don’t believe what you read in the papers,or what others telll u what it's like..or ,,well k own fact...gO and see 4 yourself.😅😂
I genuinely had no idea that Siberia has such modern beautiful cities. Thank you for your videos I’m really enjoying them. Cheers from sunny Australia😎☀️
thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it! 🤗sending lots of love to Australia ❤️
There are not only beautiful cities in Siberia . but there is also a family of Australian farmers . who moved to Siberia for permanent residence. They have channels on CZcams

you think that Siberia is backwards because you've been fed cold war era propaganda your whole life.
Wow...I had no idea. I always thought of Siberia as a desolate wasteland dotted with Gulags and very few people. Maybe small hamlets. This was a shocker.
Cheers for watching Pat, glad it gave you an insight! 😊
you think of it as nothing but "gulags" because you've only ever heard propaganda.
I thought trouble makers got sent there because it was so cold. It's actually a live and thriving, exciting city.
Я скажу прямо. Это от недостатка кругозора и образования. Ну разве нельзя подумать, что на такой обширной территории не может быть городов? Житель Кемерово.
I'm a kemerovite!!!
We have a lot of coal reserves, black snow (because of coal dust) and BIIIIIG problems with ecology.
Yes, Kemerovo may seem alive, but in our region the population is decreasing due to health problems. I have asthma, so after graduating I plan to run away from here)
Recently, a lot of money has been coming into our region (I wonder what this is connected with?🧐), large beautiful buildings are being built (a park, a cultural cluster, a sports arena).
There's so many kind and heart-warming words from foreigners in the comment section, so it only felt natural for a local to write this.
It's such a surreal experience seeing your own city from an outsider's point of view. Special things like the overhead view of the Cathedral or the firework-lit horizon shot from the village. You even managed to visit the suburban neighbourhood where I live. I' never thought that I would one day miss my native city, but It is surprisingly comforting knowing It's been captured on video and is somewhere I can find it in 10-20 years to recapture the old memories.
I wish you luck with your Videos, and hope it will let other people with their cities experience the same feeling as I did here.
Thank you so much Stephen! So happy that it gave you that feeling, its the most amazing thing to know that our videos can have such an affect on someone! ❤️😊
I think Russian cities as a whole are very stigmatized, but seeing this city was truly beautiful and if tensions ever settle between my country (the US) and Russia I’d love to visit.
@@dmorin06 Stigmatized? What made you say that?
I want to visit there! Wow so beautiful
За год, город изменился. Так необычно видеть его со стороны туриста, если смотреть со стороны обывателя, кажется ничего интересного. Обычный город, с обычными людьми. Но по видео так не скажешь, тем более за последний год он ещё преобразился в лучшую сторону! Он самый лучший, мой родной КЕМЕРОВО)))
This is my home city, I haven't been there for 25 years, love ❤️ it!!! Thank you so much for making this awesome video 💖
So glad you enjoyed it! 🥰❤️
I had no idea what a Siberian city looked like. Thanks so much for taking us along! A skating rink in most neighborhoods, that’s so neat!
So glad you enjoyed it Cristina 😊❤️🙏🏻
I live in Kemerovo thank you for making a video about this city
Приятно посмотреть на свой город, в котором я живу, хоть оно и годичной давности, хотя за год много чего понастроили на притомском проспекте. А это видео можно можно смело показать иностранцам!
What is your Siberia language
@@user-yh5ps5ul7r Russian
@@user-yh5ps5ul7r , в Сибири нет сибирских языков, в Кемерове говорят по- русски
Очень интересно смотреть на свои родные места, маршруты в школу и свой дом через призму иностранца
Спасибо! Обожаю мой родной город ❤️🥰🥰🥰
Great job guys! Thanks a lot! Our City has changed a lot this year. He became much better and more beautiful! It would be nice to make the same video in the summer, it will be amazing! Thank you.
This was great. I had no idea that Siberia looked that way. Makes me want to visit. Great video
thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed it :)
So interesting … I sort of expected Siberia to be a sad looking place with few people but you showed us a city that is beautiful, full of interesting things to see and do. I would love to see it in person. 👋🇦🇺
Now imagine that Kemerovo is considered a small city. There are more comfortable Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk. And these cities are also in the east of Russia)
Кемерово - это 600 тысячный город, и сейчас очень много новых районов, новые площади ( конечно труда показать всё). Можете набрать московскую площадь в Кемерово. Современные районы - очень мало были показаны,но конечно трудно показать такой не маленький город. Миллионник город в Сибири- это Новосибирск- около 300 километров от Кемерово. Этот город - более индустриален.
Здравствуйте. Живу в Омске,это тоже город в Сибири,только больше Кемерово. К нас 1млн.200 тысяч жителей. Очень люблю свой город. Сегодня выпал первый снег,очень красиво и не холодно.)
This was a great video! I really enjoyed it. You are shaking up preconceived notions of what Siberia is all about.
Thank you so much Linda!! 😘 Xxx
In fact, it is a small provincial town. The population is only 500 thousand. Siberian cities such as Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk have a population of almost a million people or more.
Wow I got goosebumps when you were passing close to my home 👀 Thank you so much for creating content like this, it was a big pleasure to look at my city from your perspective
You deserve more subscribers. There are many travel blogs out there but most are ‘samey samey.’ Yours is super insightful of eastern europe/Russia and dispels many preconceived ideas of these countries. I am fascinated by your vlogs and can’t wait for the next one. Good luck guys. Love it.
Lee, thank you so much for your message and your kind words. I can't really put into words how much it means to us. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts ❤️
I left this city 4 years ago for education in Moscow.
I don't plan to comeback, but this video generates warm feeling deep inside me.
You illustrated this city pretty good, and It's wonderful to see places, where you walked once.
Wish you luck
I am originally from Kemerovo, was surprised to see someone filming in English in Kemerovo. Good video👍
An interesting city. I've never heard of it. It seems tranquil. I would love to see the difference between winter and summer of living life. Thank you so much for sharing your city.
What a beautiful city!
Thank you so much Nancy! ❤️
My father is from Kemerovo and moved to Germany 20 years ago where I grew up. He always talked about his city and I‘ve always wondered what it looked like. Thank you for showing his hometown!
I LOVE your channel. Can't wait to visit Siberia in the near future.
I had no idea Siberia was so beautiful ! What a surprise! Thank you for sharing!
Спасибо, друзья, это мой город! Как вы у нас не замерзли?! Снимать в такой мороз это подвиг! Респект Вам! Вы ещё не были в городе- спутнике Лесная поляна)) Спасибо за обзор!!! Приезжайте летом! )))))) 👌👍🌺😘
Показали Лесную Поляну. Где-то ближе к концу видео)
@@user-nj1dx9hy6t да, может быть.. Я прерывалась, когда смотрела... Ещё посмотрю)
Such a nice little video to stumble upon in the evening. Glad to see people spreading a true picture of how life in most of siberia looks like. From Russia with love!
Это мой родной любимый город! Он с каждым годом всё краше! Сейчас на проспекте Притомском открыли новую Московскую площадь, два спортивных крытых стадиона, и ещё открыли у кадетского корпуса памятник копию солдату освободителю как в Берлине. Ещё открыли новую набережную Томи, а в пойме реки Исктимки уже начато строительство театра оперы и балета, с музеем, и будет построена 100 метровая гостиница. А ещё в Ленинском районе построили институт Искусств и крытый Теннисный корт.
I just spent an enjoyable January Sunday morning here in rainy Oregon, USA watching your videos about Siberia, St Petersburg, and your experience on GBBO. Thank you for showing some new places, ways of living, and sharing your personal growth since GBBO. Stay well. Stay Happy.
The city seems like most other European cities I have visited. Not as bleak as I expected.
Thanks Jerry! So glad you are enjoying our videos and took the time to watch so many! 🤗
Love to Oregon from us! X
I must salute for your effort to bring such a wonderful video to limelight. Thanks from India
I'm from the US and i studied in this city for a semester in college in 1996. I actually recognize some of those landmarks.
Just fascinating ! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome 😊❤️
Very cool and enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing it!
Спасибо за интересное видео!
Mid-August! Very surprised by how Beautiful it really is. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, what a beautiful city.. love your presentation style💙🇦🇺
Thank you Arleen ❤️❤️❤️
Спасибо, за видео это мой город,хотя там уже не живу,но очень люблю его
I love the idea it has ice rinks around the city
I'm amazed to see big shopping centres. It looks a fabulous place as long as you wrap up warm.
Never dreamed it looked like this
Glad we can share it with you 🥰🙏🏼
Hey guys been watching you for almost two years, thank you for this one made me discover my boyfriend’s hometown!
Much nicer than I imagined. Thanks for the education.
Such a beautiful place!!
being born in Kemerovo, this was such a great video to stumble upon.
Surprisingly beautiful city! I enjoyed your video!
Honestly many beautiful cities and towns and villages in siberia very unknown places sleepy quiet and beautiful
It's more modern, than I expected. Obviously it helps having access to loads of coal.
Cheers Carsten, yeah there is lots of development across the city and to be honest most of Russia is similar. This was something that surprised me first time I came 😊 Matt
All larger cities of this size in Russia look modern, even smaller ones of between 50,000 -150,000 people. Russia isn't a third world country
@@lrn_news9171 people IN USA if they know siberia think gulag
I just now wondered what Diberia is like and found your video. Thank you.
Não imaginava.Que MARAVILHOSO !
I sure would've liked to seen a inside a supermarket. Thanks for the video.
Hello, I was born in Kemerovo and I am very glad that even a foreign country is making a video about us (I wrote through a translator)
Wonderful video. How I wish I could visit Siberia one day
Oh man, my home town. Popped up in my recommendations. Pretty nostalgic considering I’ve been living across the country for almost a year.
❤️❤️❤️
Вы русский или нет?
Are you russian or not?
Кемеровчане, вы молодцы, что активно комментировали и рассказывали, что еще можно посмотреть в Кемерове.
Ого,это довольно таки неожиданно ,не так часто увидишь свой город в таких видео
Thanks for sharing this and hello from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
This was awesome. I never knew Siberia to be so vast and beautiful. I grew up thinking Siberia was cold all the time and all snow. But I am guessing that is much further north of Siberia. I am amazed here you both are and watching other video's you have there are summers and spring seasons. I love how everyone helps others. I'm in the states so learning from the video's has me very intrigued. Thank you.
Nice interesting video, this is turning into a great Channel.
Thanks Jon! We are working hard to make it so!
Well! It is so amazing watch such video now, when I miss my hometown and Siberia a little ..)))
The snow is amazing.
I'm really pleasantly surprised , how lovely it is . We would love to
visit Russia one day .
We are so glad you think so! Makes us so happy that we can show people what Russia is really like! 😊Xx
8/7/21this the day Isaw this video. I would like to visit, but on a day with no snow.
I didn’t really have any preconceived ideas, but it’s more modern than I expected. My great grandparents immigrated to the United States so that my great grandfather could work in the coal mines here. I’m always fascinated with the churches there because they’re so much more ornate than our little Russian Orthodox Church here.
We are really glad it gave you an insight into how it really is Jennifer 😊 yeah the churches here are really ornate and to be honest the ones in this city are some of the least beautiful in comparison 😊
Also, where in Russia were your great grandparents from? 😊
@@MattandJulia I realized after I commented that it sounded like I meant they came from Russia. They actually came from somewhere in the Carpathian Mountains. I don’t know enough, and there aren’t enough people left here who know the actual history. I really want to research it, and learn more. Also, back then, I believe when they came into the United States, their last name (surname) was not written in the records exactly right. I plan to look into it more with my daughters. They’re interested in learning everything they can.
Just seen this Jennifer. Ah, the carpathian mountains and supposed to be beautiful! Sounds an incredibly interesting history!
Another great city in amazing Siberia
i didn·t have any expectations and i·m really impressed
Wow!!! BEAUTIFUL!! I always thought Siberia was a place they sent the naughty people too, to do their prison time for their sentences. You made a VERY NICE video on Siberia. It seems like to us that Mr. & Mrs. Santa 🤶 🎅 Claus would LOVE vacationing in Siberia. Thank you for sharing THIS nice video with everyone.
Немножко поправлю у нас нет миссис Сантаклаус , это внучка нашего Деда Мороза её зовут Снегурочка .

It’s beautiful!❤
I never thought siberian city is such beautiful and developed! Love to Russia from Bangladesh and thanks to Matt and Julia.

Thank you so much Vaibhav! Lots of love to India! ❤️
I was there in end of may early June and was 90F hot no air conditioning! Did not see all the cold but was in Tomsk in the winter.
Crazy how the temperature changes from winter to Summer! 😊❄️🌞
Очень поверхностно рассказали про самый лучший город на земле.
Honestly it’s really kinda blew me away. Anything I’ve ever seen of Siberia it’s desolate and not modern in anyway.
I’m ever getting an education by watching your videos, I do have some friends that lived in Siberia and left ( escaped) as soon as they could, they were exiled there through their grandparents during the dark days of the old CCCP.
They only told me that it was a very hard life for them.
The more I watch your channel the more I want to visit Russia.
Ваши друзья, скорее всего, убежали в сша. А мы, русские, никуда бежать не собираемся
Nice place. Really good city and amazing People. I used to live in Kemerovo two years. Best wishes and see you sometime
I was in Siberia, beautiful place. Loved lake Baikal.
Very impressive
Beautiful city!
Beautiful ❤️
Hope to visit soon someday. 😮
So beautiful cities but snow falling here
Am so in love with this place😅❤
God bless your coal miners ! I worked in the coal industry for 42 years 35 underground. In Pennsylvania the underground mines were about 56 degrees Fahrenheit year round. I think they would be slightly Colder in Siberia
I know the strata is slightly colder in Canada. Sometimes it was nice to get in out of the weather. NICE VIDEO !
Like that ice slide
That housing looks amazing
Читаю комментарии, и поражаюсь сколько стереотипов о России и в частности о Сибири от иностранцев. Они думали что тут живут кучка сосланных зеков которые бегают по лесам от медведей, а оказывается тут многоэтажные дома и даже трамваи хотят... Удивительно просто... А еще оказывается что в Сибири есть города которые больше и красивее чем у некоторых комментаторов. Но я рад что есть такие немногочисленные видео в интернете, которые рушат эти самые стереотипы.
P/S Сам с Кемерово.
Oh wow guys!!! That is amazing. My girlfriend and I used to live in Kemerovo at the exact time of you being there. We are from South Africa and we used to stay at Октябрьский проспект 51, the reddish-brown building seen at 2:05. If only our paths had crossed. 😊
Oh wow! What a small world! What bought you both to Kemerovo if I may ask? 🥰
@@MattandJulia We taught English at Хайлайт, a relatively large extracurricular language school. It was an amazing experience and our introduction to Russia and where we fell in love with the people and culture. We are furthering our adventure to Chelyabinsk next year. Absolutely can't wait.😀
I’m amazed! There’s no traffic there. 😃
Thanks। Very Nice Place।
i am watching from Nepal. i hope your city visite soon.
beautiful vedio of your city thank you
It's so beautiful love from Indian
Thank you for the insight. Beautiful and cold. We have no idea about a city in Siberia. Greetings from Florida. Complaining about our cold temperature of 18 Degrees C.
greetings from Kemerovo, we have a damn strange weather. In winter, we have -30 on average, and in summer +30 (sorry, I don’t know how to denote fahrenheit🙂)
I also want to thank you for appreciating my hometown, it's so nice❤
It’s crazy how the tribes from Siberia are closely related with the Aztec and indigenous people of America, so that means some of my great ancestors might’ve came from Siberia.
Siberia city is a wonderful place , I will love to be there
Greetings from Kemerovo!
I’m more curious to see what the other seasons look like. Places that get any snow all tend to look the same when under snow.

My two daughters were adopted from Kemerovo. Interesting city, -30 when we were there.
