- Let's meet an ethnic minority of Russia - the Yakut who live in the coldest inhabited of the Earth. We will get to know their culture, get to know the locals and hear their life stories and concerns about Global warming. Global warming isn't felt much for us, but it is already very palpable and visible in the Russian Arctic.

If the freezer is warmer than the air, you know you're in a cold place.
😅
anyone need virtual assistant and online accountant for any business and transaction purpose so contact personalyly
Well the freezer wouldn’t work based on thermodynamics lol
Hot B T C deals hit me up for more info and give away too With One bitcoin. I was doing okay but I lost my job due to
the Virus. Then I heard of a pro trader and advisor Mr Steve . I trusted his words and took his advice. I have made over 6.9 bitcoins using his service
They don't have freezers. They have porches.
I live in Nairobi, Kenya. It never gets cold to the point of experiencing winter. I've never seen snow in my 23 years. Its warm throughout most of the year. One day, I'd love to travel and experience.
Я думаю тебе для такого холода нужно идти постепенно
@LukeMartin0001would you say something similar to a Russian that said they wanted to experience the desert weather? Because it feels to me that you’re discouraging someone to have this experience, based on no information whatsoever. Almost like trying to keep him “out”. I hope I’m wrong.
czcams.com/video/4HhFqP5CWV8/video.htmlsi=QImZ-PPC4MrHpHB1
@LukeMartin0001 then it’s a good thing it’s not up to you where or what country she gets to visit. Your feelings about her staying in her country and not visiting places such as this because you’ll like to “keep her out” is 100% your problem and your issue to deal with not hers.
@@judomingues6225its not keeping someone out its logic of human biology 😂
If you and your ancestors lived in +50 you will die as soon as you step in -50
I’m drinking a cup of hot tea to warm up just from watching you guys. I live in Yellowknife Canada which is at the same latitude as Yakutsk, and we regularly drop into -40C. This place is on a whole other level though, crazy.
@@Florencecoxx I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@izagdlife That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@Florencecoxx You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe?
@Queen OF Love This is the Fourth time I'm seeing someone talking about Mr Gary as there are lot of testimonies about him, do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him?
@@izagdlife It's 100% safe and legal, He’s an expert trader on stocks and bitcoin. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point..
These are some tough, resilient people. And the “walruses” are absolutely badass. I’m from Sweden but I have Russian heritage and I love your videos, one day I hope to visit these amazing places and see the country my grandparents came from.
I can’t be the only one who ships the first “ice-diver” and her. He seems so genuine and so those she.
not for a million bucks
Russia is the most fascinating country in the world! So many diverse places and diffirent people and cultures living peacefully!

My city reaches a temperature of 48-50°c during summers and the low it can go in winters is 16°c... This shows how amazing our bodies are to adapt to these conditions.. great narration ❤️
I have enjoyed learning so much about Russia from your channel! I work in a hospital here in the USA, and I currently have a very sick patient who is from Yakutsk, and speaks very little English. I was able to discuss all of the things I’ve been learning about her home in Russia, and it made her so happy! I could tell it meant a lot to her to feel connected to home. I showed her your channel and she is grateful to you for spreading good information about Russia. Much love ❤️

This is awesome!
Thank you, you are a good person in many ways ❤️
As a person from the Caribbean who has never seen snow this terrifies me😅 I would love to go but I'd have to slowly work my way north 😂
You should try swimming in ice cold water.. your body would screem wtf :D but the feeling is amazing. Especially the 1st time!

So I guess in South is much, much better. I was in Moscow two years ago in January and it was the same like in North Romania. Russia is a big country, is normally to have those difference of temperature
I am a Pole by nationality, I was born in Russia in Sibir. How I love my country Russia.For its mountains, rivers and seas.For sincere and peaceful peoples for the diversity of cultures.For the fact that we are together no matter what.And I will say thank you Mother Russia 😊❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

That is crazyyyyy. I'm from Chicago and it gets really cold in the winter but nothing even remotely compared to this. I couldn't do, I'm a California boy now, and loving it.
I'm from Indonesia. As a person who lives in a tropical country, it is unimaginable for me to live in such a cold place. Thank you for sharing this video.
Ah.. Masa...
Come in Romania. You can stay 2 months and after that we can make a trip in Russia. I wasn't inRusia for two years, I'm waiting to go soon
i am in Kalimantan, Pontianak to be exact.
this place is crazy humid that i can't even sleep with the a/c, that is why i am here. LOL
when i get back to Japan i am just going to move to Hokkaido and stay there for good. LOL.
If you grow up there, it’s not too hot though, right?
@@mysteryman6918it still hot for some regions or cities even though you're born there. i am from Indonesia too and from East Java, my city is called Malang and the coldest we've ever get is only 17 celcius and that already crazy. but in Surabaya (the same province as me) is always hot, even locals usually sleep at the cold floor not at their own bed because it's too hot
I am from India and in summers the temperature easily goes above 45°. I cannot imagine -35°, but this video is helping me to imagine. Anyway the last words of video were truly truly inspiring. In our ancient Indian philosophy there is word called Vasudhaiv kutumbakam, Which means the entire world is family. Thanks for such wonderful videos. Love from India.❤️
but in Yakutsk, too, it is quite warm in summer +30 is not uncommon here, in such a life in winter -50, and in summer +30
It's in Hinduism.
bro India m bhi -35 - 40 tak jata h winters m Ladakh m i have myself stayed for a month in these temperatures
Apan Bharat ka baat hi alag hai🙏😂
Keep imagining 😂
This weather brings the community together and that’s what I love the most ❤
Excellent video Eli. I love seeing how the people of Yakutsk have embraced and thrive in the extreme cold weather climate.
@@ottouring Just subscribed. We may be only half as cold as Yakutsk, but that is still pretty chilly. I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Wonderful video. Given the current geopolitical reality between the West and Russia it is crucial for content creators like Eli to maintain a voice. People are not their governments, and these videos showcase the greatness of Russian culture and peoples. Thank you, Eli, keep it up.
@@carolmac8144 I highly doubt anyone in this video dies because of Ukraine. Believe it or not but they don't just mobilise random people, don't think so stupidly and so cynically
@@carolmac8144 Do not be upset. You are just poorly informed. Ukrainian Reich will surely be destroyed. But they will tell you on television that bad Russians are killing civilians. This is not true!!!
For 8 years, the Ukrainian military killed the inhabitants of Donbass and Western television was silent about this. I live in Donbass and my brother is now at the front, he is fighting the Nazis.
True. US government is doing a lot of evil s**t but i would never blame the avarage citizen for that.

As a child from the Philippines, I have always dreamt of living in a snowy place. Now I am certain I won’t survive an hour in such place as Yakutia. It’s always summer in my country and 20 degrees Celsius is considered cold season 🥲
HI My Fellow Filipino I Don't Know What Part Of Country You Are But We Never Experience 20 Degrees.
@@kazuyatendo5296 probably in places such as Tagaytay, Baguio and other high altitude places in the Philippines, it can go low as 10 degrees Celsius at night, depending on the season.
I experienced it one time in Baguio, it was so cold I thought it was going to snow, this was 10+ years ago.

There's a hypothesis that people must better cooperate in colder climates in order to survive and as a result, sociopathy is far less common in areas that require community for the group to survive.
The reverse is that people who have evolved along the equator or more temperate climates have less need of cooperation so sociopathy is more common.

Because youtube is the greatest thing about the internet, I get to watch a smart charming russian young lady give me a personal guided tour of her country ! your videos are wonderful dear. greetings from new york state , usa.
Im from South Africa and sometimes in summer the heat goes up to 39 degrees and winter cold for us is anything below 20 degrees , experiencing minus degrees is not something we experience. I would NEVER be able to visit or see this town but it was really interesting to watch 😅 Thank you.
i imagine theyd say the same! i live somewhere where i get all types of weather, and i dont think i could survive long in either location haha
I'm from Australia! Once when I was 9 years old, we had a day get up to 50 degrees Celcius - I can't imagine how cold this place is!
@@teenietoad In Yakutsk, summer goes up to +30C°, so we probably don't say that, but I was in Turkey, i hate the hot weather I love the cold :).
I was just telling my son that Yakutsk is our version of hell for us here in South Africa because I cant imagine -50 degree in winter
I'm in Montreal Quebec and we get -45 sometimes in the winter and +45 in the summer.
I love your videos! They are so insightful, and everyone you encounter seems so friendly. I am enjoying learning about Russia from you, and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you so much, and sending much love from Cincinnati, Ohio U.S.A. ♥
Your walrus friend is cute, he seems sweet! lol
I like how mature and kind she is and how she finds every small detail interesting. I also like the fact that she travels in order to find out about other cultures and not in order to act as an influencer. The questions she asks are spot on and she doesn't only chit chat. Way to go girl! Please visit as many Russian cities as you can.

Im Venezuelan (Caribbean country in South America) this amazes me. I never thought people could live happy such a cold weather but its fantastic to see how the human body adapts to this perfectly. We are more powerful than we know and there are so many wisdom to learn from Yakut ❤️
Hi 😊
Is really r u from venuzuela?
I'm India
Very strongest Russian people
Since when is Venezuela in the carribean...? 😂
Great vlog, it is amazing how humans can endure such harsh conditions 😮
Awesome video. And you made a good point at the end about traveling. All this time i thought the people of Yakutsk are struggling and living a harsh life because the media present it that way, but now i see that the people love their homeland and they enjoy their life. It's not much different than other cold places, such as Scandinavian countries, Canada and some places in USA, except it's just a bit colder and people got used to it. I would like to watch a video where two people from the coldest and hottest places on Earth switch sides for few days, that would be interesting.
Hello from russia :) repeated words, moreover, they apply to all countries
Actually, there is very dry climate and it's a impressively hot at the summer under the sun )
This is a fascinating look at Yakutsk. I enjoyed learning about this cold climate and its people. Thank you for posting. Sending love from NYC, USA 😊
That’s disgusting that you think it is OK to kill banquets and small children, bomb schools, churches, hospitals? What the actual hell is wrong with you?
I am born and raised in Yakutsk, but now I am I a different country, that speaks English, and In summer gets to about 45 degrees, so seeing my old city and how foreigners cope (foreigners meaning people from the rich cities, like Moscow and st Petersburg.) it’s so nostalgic ahhh
I hate really hot weather it drives me insane. Where I am in Europe the summers get to 40C and in the winter down to around -20C. I prefer winters anytime, though I have to admit, Yakutsk seems a bit much for me to handle lol

Я живу в Якутске никто из моих знакомых не может зайти в ледяную воду. То что мы живем в холоде не значит что мы не мёрзнем . Мёрзнем и ещё как , к холоду невозможно привыкнуть. У меня бывает слёзы от боли текут потому что когда лицо замерзает оно очень сильно болит и горит , как будто кожу сдирают . И от ветра я бывает дрожу так , что зубы стучат , даже при плюсовой по Цельсию температуре . Так что не верьте всему что показывают. Конечно мы не впадём в шок и ужас от -50, но это не значит что мы не мёрзнем

Your closing sentiment, was truly beautiful 😊
This warm friendliness of the people is what I experienced myself on many travels in Russia (often alone). Thank you, Eli, for showing this great and very lovable country to people who know little about it.
Hmmm, also it's the same country that now kills Ukrainians...
So much for global warming.
Too bad the ruSSians are not so friendly towards their neighboring countries and would raze them to the ground if they don't obey ruSSian imperialism and vision for Central and Eastern Europe
This great and very lovable country has invaded Ukraine and is killing hundreds of civilians including women and children on a daily basis. Have you been in coma for the past 5 months?
Ask Ukraine if they are a great country. I"m sure individuals, are but russia is NOT a great country.
Wonderful to know that the colder a place is the warmer the people are. Such a pity it seems the other way around sometimes. I just love the sheer scale and diversity of Russia. It amazes me every time. Spasiba Eli. Thank you for sharing.
I think people who live in between are less warm. Tropical countries have some very warm and inviting people in my experience.
@@youtubehandlesareridiculous It depends. Latin populations are reknowned for their tempers, just look at Italy, but it is hard to paint a broad brush. I think the reason colder places can be more friendly is because of the ever present danger of being alone in those environments. You cannot survive without other people and so it is natural to consider everyone a friend.
Just a thought, no science to it.
@@veritanuda it's very plausible. For example in Yakut language we don't have a direct analogue of Hi or Hello. Instead we say 'Kepse' or 'tuoh sonun' which can be translated as what news do you have?
@@alexandrvasilev2865
Interesting. Well Russian itself is "How is life" which make more sense to me than just a hello.
Either way it is better to understand others may have different culture but also that we are all the same underneath.
Thanks.
Russia is very diverse because for a thousand years, Russian leaders have conquered smaller countries and nations and made them part of a Russia. That habit never stopped, by the way.
Definitely wish to visit this place❤❤ Thank you, Eli. Beautifully documented
Thanks for bringing this informative video I had no idea how life was in this far far away place. Intresting video Thanks UK
My friend once told me that when she lived in Russia, she had no place to put her milk & other groceries that needed refrigerating. So she would just keep them inside the garage because it was so equivalent to a refrigerator with the air. Her milk was just fine!
I study in St Petersburg. When I moved here from my hometown I lived in an old dormitory, where we had no fridges. We used to put our food in plastic bags and hang it outside the window. However, we couldn't keep the food for many days during summer and early autumn. So we found some girls, who would give us an old fridge for free, if we could clean it ourselves. Ironically, when we finally cleaned the fridge, almost all the students were moved to a new dormitory with a modern fridge in every room. Still, the old refrigerator served us well for few days.
By the way, the coldest temperature I have ever experienced in my hometown (Vologda) was -46 degrees Celsius. It was quite unusual, because before that the temperature rarely fell below -30 degrees. Nevertheless, in russia all the houses in cities and towns are connected to the central heating system, so that wasn't a problem at all.
The North of Russia is a very mystical and beautiful area - it's very like the soul and breath of Russia.
Well-said.
sooo cool!! thanks for sharing. the most important thing that I gather from these video's is people's mentality, their outlook on community, nature, health ..
Hello from NW Ohio, USA. Love your channel Eli. Unusually warm here. 39F, rain instead of snow.
Oh Eli looks to cold for me, then again it looks so beautiful 😯 . It's great to have you back on air stay warm looking forward for more of your videos stay safe , from Australia 👍
"Too cold"
I'm here because I discovered the Yakutian Laika dog, and was blessed to get one as a puppy. I named him Talan, and he is an awesome dog. I was interested in the region that he originated from and started watching your videos. The people here are beautiful and very strong lovely people.
How interesting. I wonder if they are related to Samoyeds.
Samoyeds have little to no scent, they shed UNGODLY amounts of fur, in the west they are always white (because the Iron Curtain went up just after the Samoyedic people were contacted by I believe English explorers - 9 dogs came out and all were white), their fur can be knitted into wool. (Nearly) all Samoyeds in the West are descendants of just those 9 dogs.
Samoyeds had 3 jobs - pulling sled, herding reindeer, and sleeping with children to keep them warm at night.
Samoyeds in Russia can be white, black, or red and they are a bit thinner than the ones you see in the west. The Nenet's version of a Samoyed looks very similar to a Yakutian Laika dog. If they are scentless, and have EXTREMELY fine hair, I bet they are related.
@@fuzzywzhe Yes, true, I have 2 Samoyeds.
@@Kasonas Well, they are good dogs aren't they - if you can deal with the hair?
I fostered for them on and off.
@@fuzzywzhe Yes, great dogs, but high maintenance because of the hair. My Yakutian Laika is much easier grooming.
@@Kasonas I don't know. When I was in college my neighbor had a Samoyed, and just fell in love with that dog. Such a nice animal, so when I got a steady job out of college, I joined an animal rescue, and started fostering for them.
They have such a good personality, but they make up with it in hair.
Do Yakutian Laikia's have similar personalities?
BTW - you probably already know this but I always tell it to people. If your Samoyed ever gets a "hot spot" a fungal infection, it's LIKELY because you didn't entirely remove the soap from their coat in their last bath. I used to bathe mine, rinse them out, and refill the tub, and rinse them out again. I'd fluff their fur on every inch of their body on the second rinse to make certain everything was out.
Their hair is so fine it's difficult to entirely wash them out.
Thank you Eli , Maria and the two pop singers and all the bathers
Eli, congratulations, you made a wonderful video, well explained wiyh a lot of humor, great images with beautiful people, it can be very cold but YAKUTSK must be charming. Thanks for sharing,
Im mexican, I’ve never live through a snowy season in my life…. I really can’t imagine life in Rusia!!! Wow this is really mind blowing
I don't get it myself. I can understand that at some point it may have been beneficial. But today? Unless you're drilling for natural resources, of course.
If people could just get together and break bread together, we would have peace. It is difficult to be an enemy with your friend.
Thank you Eli. The political differences between my country and yours may be irreconcilable, but thank you for letting people see the humanity of your people.
James I live like i mentioned in my comment above live in an isolated area , a bit just me myself and I. With covid they said keep a distance of 2 meters between people. The nearest person I had was 15km. When you live in these worlds you don’t think of politics , tv media, or hate as you got no time doing it. My life is survive be happy and love thy neighbor . 😊❄️🏔 as that neighbor may be a different color country but that neighbor could save your life . You think there are people that live on an ice cube , never switch off there car, put there meat 🥩 out the window . Etc and smile . No politics . The world has to learn to smile even if the sky is grey. 🏔❄️❄️❄️😊🐻
Difficult if you dont know if they are going to kill or rape your kids.
Somewhat naive. You cannot break bread if you are being invaded. The two countries were friends, as far as the people go, and families were mixed. No more, I think. This will take decades to repair.
@@janroach1852 you clearly don't know anything about this at all.
If only evil people on the top left us all alone (and I am not talking about presidents), we would all be happy and could break that bread.
James, you’re brave💪
I'm from Pakistan. I love this city yakut of Russia. Beautiful people and very hospitable living in such a harsh weather -50.
Your last words in this video are genuinely inspiring and of course, you are a good philosopher.
Your videos are so amazing. The coldest place on earth and it is a proper city. Big buildings, roads, cars on the roads, people having fun in the snow. My salutations to Russia and its people.

Coldest place on earth? Lol dunno about that. I'm in Canada near the lakes. Last winter was soft as a pillow but the one before that was cold. Feb kicked off with two -43c days in a row. Didn't matter if I had the block heater plugged in, still had to double cycle the glow plugs to get the truck started and barely at that. Come spring found a bunch of dead varmints that didn't make it through winter.
I ain't even where it's real cold like the territories or the Alaskan interior.
So cold there you'll wanna spend the night at the bar you've been drinking at lest you freeze to death doing the stumbly-bumbly home.
I believe it's the coldest city on earth, not the coldest place. The coldest place is in Antarctica, the lowest temperature ever recorded there was around -120F I think.
@@brianlittleforest631 Yes, here is the coldest city. It's called Oymyakon. A minimum temperature of -71.2° was recorded there.))
Beautiful place! Beautiful people!
Great video, seeing people like him inspires us to live life
Обожаю снег и мороз. Жару совершенно не переношу. ❤
