ASMR Veliky Novgorod: Medieval History to help you sleep (soft spoken, map tracing, educational)
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 08. 2022
- Hello hello! Today we're exploring the history of Veliky Novgorod, once one of the most important trading spots in Europe. Its position near the rivers that connect the Baltic in the North with the Black and Caspian Sea in the South allowed it to prosper during the Middle Ages. Under the Varengian ruler Rurik, it played an important role in the foundation of the Kievan Rus, and later it hosted the Eastern kontor of the Hanseatic League.
Unfortunately, the most important piece of info isn't featured in this book, so please, open this link and look at the adorable birch bark drawings by 7-year-old Onfim from the 13th century:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onfim
The book is called Groß-Novgorod, Aufstieg und Fall einer russischen Stadtrepublik, by Konrad Onasch. I'm not aware of an English translation.

Очень неожиданно увидеть АСМР про свой родной город!
There are thousands towns and cities around the world and you tell everybody about my homeland, my Novgorod, this little spot on the map... unbelievable!
Thank you so much for this unexpected journey!
But what a city! So much fascinating history, I really enjoyed learning about it, and I'm very happy you liked the outcome. Thank you!
Привет земляку
Ещё один привет земляку хпхп
О, здарова, зёмы. Какой-то ажиотаж вокруг Новгорода в последнее время. Как же похорошел Новгород при Собянине как говорится.
@@MelangeASMR danke schon fur deine video )
i’m from Russia and it’s very flattering to see a video about one of its cities! i absolutely love your content, both relaxing and fascinating :) have a great day❤️
It's such an interesting city, I don't know how I've only learned about it relatively recently. And I'm very happy you enjoyed it, thank you so much! 🧡
Beautiful cities. Just a shame about poo tin :(
@@Insectoid_ agreed.. i hate him so much
@@omgomgomgomgomgomg3295 why? Just interesting
@@lizakonkon2164 maybe it's wiser to avoid that topic in an ASMR video 😅
Здравствуйте, я из Великого Новгорода, никак не ожидала увидеть такое асмр. Круто, спасибо!
Hello! I never thought I'd find so many people from the city in my comments - I'm very happy you're here. Thank you!
feels so odd to see such familiar things here
thank you for giving a new outlook on my hometown and educating people, since even the Russians are often not aware of existence of Velikiy Novgorod, confusing it with another bigger one
all the best
Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! I really loved learning about this city and its history and how so many seemingly distant places have been connected for centuries.
Hello, I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I am really enjoying the content you produce here and well.. I do actually live in V Novgorod and it's interesting to see and hear some bits of history from another perspective! And of course with the bonus of it being in ASMR. Much love :)
So many people from Novgorod here, I'm flattered! Thank you very much for the kind words, I really appreciate them. And I loved learning about this city, so much interesting history.
I’ve been in Velikiy Novgorod few days ago, this city is great and beautiful indeed. Thank you for video, enjoyed every aspect of it!
Oh how cool, I'm a little jealous!
@@MelangeASMR hope you’ll visit it in the future without war
I would love to!
Господин Великий Новгород город с потрясающей энергетикой и красивейшей старинной архитектурой 👍Спасибо за видео! ❤️
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment! I hope I can visit the city some day 💛
The comments say it all! Big appreciation for learning for many, heartfelt recognition of home for others! 💚 Personal favourite part was the tactile map :)
Honestly, the comments always blow me away - it's like I've found the kindest possible group of people online. 💛
And yess I love that map! It's wild how it immediately changed my mental image of half the continent.
@@MelangeASMR Can totally relate! In my non-CZcams life I work with blind and low vision students. High quality tactile graphics make a huge impact when it comes to representing spatial information through non-visual means!
Novgorod Republic might be the only example of we having a democracy here in Russia. Hope, it would not be the case in future
Thanks for the video, very enjoyable and high quality content!
Какая демократия в Новгороде? Не смешите народ. Никакой "республики" там не было, была самая типичная олигархия, где зажиточные аристократы, т.е. бояре решали вопросы на вече и выбирали себе князя. Мнение простых крестьян там никого к сожалению не интересовало.
@@as1nak так никто и не говорит о либеральной демократии в современном смысле. В конечном счёте афинская демократия продолжает называться демократией, несмотря на то, что гражданами являлось мизерное число от общего числа населения. Более того, например, великая хартия вольностей считается демократическим документом и до сих пор составляет часть британской конституции, хотя адресована баронам. Как по мне, возможность хотя бы части свободного населения влиять на избрание должностных лиц - уже признак демократии в античном или средневековом смысле. Но вообще смысл комментария не в этом, если что.
Thank you and yes, let's hope so💜
Beautiful city, beautiful story, beautiful video! From Russia with love ❤️
💜
I am a newcomer to the channel, but I am already a big fan. I love the combination of ASMR with history, and you clearly have a natural talent for this. Looking forward to more.
Hey Jack, thank you so much for the kind words!
Великолепно!
Beautiful video as always. I was watching an art history video the other day about Hans Holbein and they mentioned the Hanseatic League. I was like, “Oh! I know about that! I learned all about it from Melange!” 😂. My husband thinks I’m such a dork and he’s right. I would love more videos about early Russian history. It’s such a vast and interesting country. Thank you! 💜
Awww I love that, thank you! 😇🥰 And a little dorkiness surely is a good thing.
I have a map on the Trans-Siberian Railway at home so there will definitely be more Russian history, even if it's not early. But I'll see what else I can find!
Thank you! Actually early late it doesn’t matter. I love history in any form! ❤️😊
Hi from Novgorod!
Didn't expect to see my city here
thank you for the video❤
Hello! Such a fascinating city, I really enjoyed about it :)
Thank You. These water based trade and migration routes from the north down south and into the east are very important to authentic history and civilization. Very interesting you are mostly referring to the new Novgorod here around the 9th century. Opening up the awareness of how much older the northern migrations were to the overall makeup of very early civilization. So glad you explore into these regions and time periods. With the language skills and interest to discern what has happened through time. All beautifully presented in your ASMR relaxation style. Great stuff! Very interested to hear further ventures into these northern migrations and time periods. 🌞😊🙏
It is such a fascinating time period, right? Really enjoyed learning about this topic, but yeah, there's plenty of history lost in time. Very happy to hear you enjoyed it too, thank you so much for being around!
это видео такими темпами скоро будет национальной гордостью Новгорода
Haha yeah, I'm surprised by how many people from Novgorod have left me a comment, I'm very flattered!
Ich bin ebenso überrascht das die kyrillsch Schriftgeprägten User hier her finden ...aber , das kann nicht nu allein an deinem Wissen via Wort und Schrifr liegen ...als wie vielmehr evtl an deiner wunderschönem Sprachmelodie ...fluesternde ASMR Videos sind zudem vielfach echt unertraeglich von so vielen ASMR Kanaelen ... für mein Ohr jedenfalls ..und das viele das auch einfach nur aus Geld Not und Profilierung tun hoert man meine ich aucb gut aus der Stimme und der Betonung heraus..bei dir klingrs jedooch anders ...als ob du eben liebst was du vermittelst.....also deine Stimme ist Ohrenscheinlich mit dem Talent gesegnet damit auch zu sprechen und andere dir zuhoeren WOLLEN ...und auch anhand der einstimmigen Feedbacks zuhören wollen. Oft will ein Mensch nichtt zuhoeren weil die Stimme sowie Worte es nicht mehr ueberzeugend genug bis zum Empfaenger hin schaffen bzw duchzunringen wenn es neben zu oberflaechlich auch noch zackig im Sprechtempo mit nonsense einhergeht ...ja evtl war dann die roemisch, katholisch sowie biblische Entstehungsgeschichte dann doch nicht nur allein das Wort schlechthin was den Stejn ins Leben rollte nach dem Motto" Und am Anfang war nur das Wort usw...
lg ;)
Great video about a great city!
Just a little remark: it's not lake Lagoda, it's called Ladoga. A syllable twister sneaked in there ;)
Nooooo 🙈 My notes are full of pronunciation rules and words spelled out syllable clusters etc so I would get everything right, and then the mistake sneaks in with the easy name 😅
Thank you for the comment and for noticing! I'll get it right now haha.
@@MelangeASMR it happens to the best of us :)
Native citizen of Velikiy Novgorod here and great channel by the way.
Thank you, Vladimir, I appreciate it!
What a big surprise to find an ASMR video about my home city, and so many fellow citizens in the comments. Thank you so much! :)
It feels like half the city in my commments haha, I'm very honoured by that! Thank you for the kind words 💚
Love the editing! So calming
Thank you! So fascinating. I hadn't heard of this city at all before finding your channel. Quality content as always. Looking forward to the next episode! The slow pace allows one to absorb the information and to think. Very relaxing.
Hey Charles, glad to see you back! Thank you so much, I'm very happy you enjoyed this topic as much as I did.
Another wonderful history lesson with great ASMR too. It’s not the first time you’ve mentioned the Kievan Rus in your videos. I didn’t know anything about this until very recently and it’s now on my list of things to delve further into. I often feel inspired to find out more about the things you talk about. Lovely channel 😊
Aw I'm honoured I could inspire you! Thank you so much, Rachel, I really love to hear this kind of feedback. And yeah, Kievan Rus is not something I learned much about in school either, sadly.
That first bumpy map is the best! Such great content here. Thank you for your time, energy and talent.
It is, I love it haha. My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoy it!!
I am thrilled to have found your channel. It is so refreshing and relaxing to have some interesting and educational content delivered via asmr. I can't wait to see as more of your videos.
Hello Helen, thank you so much! 💚
Love your accent,it's so pretty.I really enjoy learning about these places.
Thank you, that's nice to hear :)
You really have an amazing channel. Very relaxing with your voice and tracing, and also very educational. Love what your doing and look forward to your next video ❤️
Hi Chris, that's wonderful to hear, thank you so much!
what an incredible history! Just the other day when I was watching your Vikings video, I was surprised that I didn’t know the city of Novgorod and it’s important history. So nice and relaxing to learn more and more new stories. Herzichen dank und Grüße🌸
Same here! That's what sparked my interest in the first place - the name kept popping up and I'd never heard of it. It makes me very happy that so many of you find it just as interesting 🥰
You’re very close to hitting 30k now melange! The momentum of new subscribers seems to be growing more rapidly, I’m so pleased for you, you truly deserve it melange! Absolutely first class in every way.
Aww thank you so much! Last month was beyond believe, eveything happened so fast! But I have to say I don't mind that the momentum has slowed down a little now. I prefer a more gemütlich pace haha.
I really enjoy the tactile map. I haven’t seen a map like that before. You always have such interesting finds!
Love the historical videos you make, don't stop making them!
I won't! 💚
This is so incredibly interesting to learn about; I love your calming history videos.
Thank you so much, Audrey 💖
I’m absolutely in love with the video! 🌸 Very relaxing and educational 😍🙏🏻
Hey there, thank you so much for the kind words!
Wieder ein ganz tolles Video! Entspannen und dabei etwas Neues lernen, hätte nie gedacht, dass das mal zusammen funktionieren würde. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Mal.
Vielen lieben Dank, das freut mich 🥰
I love your content so much!! You have a very comforting voice and I love picking up on small bits of new knowledge when I'm still awake :) thank you for the lovely videos ❤️❤️
Hey there, thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it and I hope you always sleep well 💖
This channel’s content is absolutely wonderful!
I’d love to see a similar style video done for a map of Middle-Earth from LOTR. While also going into the interesting lore and cultures. It’d be super nerdy, but also super cool. Lol
Oh, true, LOTR would be perfect for that. Though I have to admit, the last time I watched the movies was a couple of years ago (and the only books I had were an adapted translation that I - rightfully - got told off for by a true nerd haha). I'll see what I can do! Might take a bit tho.
I’ve never heard of this place but still found this very interesting. Keep going. Your channel is fantastic.
Thank you!
Thanks for this, Melange 😊 What a cool embossed map!
I love it haha, I just want to run my fingers over it the whole time.
Так приятно когда твой маленький город замечают😳
Hello!
My Little Home. Once a huge principality, now a small cozy town))
It sounds like a lovely place!
I love your history and geography lessons.... and book sounds. Thank you 😊
Thank you, Conni! Love to hear that :)
Yesss Thursday morning is my new favourite time of the week because it means I can fall asleep to your latest video
This is very late but I hope you had a good sleep and you're enjoying your Sunday 💚
I’ve heard of very few but this was very interesting as well as enjoyable
I love all your videos. Very calming and I love the historical content. Not to mention you have beautiful hands
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that!
I come from Veliky Novgorod and live here. Thank you for such a relaxing and touching asmr video. For the first time I see such a format, where ASMR is harmoniously combined with the presentation of educational material.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it, thank you! And I'm honoured to have so many viewers from Novgorod, that's fantastic.
@@MelangeASMR Thank you:). Rather, Google (CZcams), using data about our location and interests, select the appropriate content for us.
Thank you so much for a wonderful asmr video about Veliky Novgorod, cradle of democracy in ancient Russia. I hope that Russia will regain democracy soon. I’ve been to V. Novgorod, it’s a lovely place with very kind people. I wish you all the best and hope that you’ll visit this town one day. Love and peace to everyone 💙🕊
Thank you for the kind words, Anastasia! I'm all with you, let's hope for better times soon 💛
Big thank you 🙏🏻
Dear Melange! I just dropped by to say thank you for your wonderful videos. I love the combination that you do, between history and ASMR, it is very soothing. It would be nice to see a video about Schönbrunn, tiergarten and the whole park, if you ever need some inspiration. Thank you for being you! Take care :)
Thank you, Niels, that is so kind of you! Schönbrunn sounds like an excellent idea - as much as I love digging into historical or linguistic topics, sometimes time is a little scarce and then a topic like Schönbrunn that can be prepared a little more quickly is perfect. I've put it on my list :)
Hope you're having a nice, relaxing Sunday!
@@MelangeASMR That sounds amazing! I will look forward to that, and what else you have in store for us, I can see you use a lot of time finding old maps and researching for us, thank you! I hope you have a lovely summer in Vienna, I love the city!
Hello, I’ve been watching your videos nonstop lately and I was just curious as to how you know all of this historic information because it is something I would absolutely love to explore for myself!!! I want to know more about history but I just don’t know where to start. Your videos are so enjoyable and relaxing!!😍🥰💗
Hey Ashlie, that's very sweet, thank you! For the videos, I mostly rely on wikipedia which is great way to get an overview over a topic and dig into specific details that you might want to explore (especially if you little time haha). Other than that, depending on what your favourite medium is and where you live, you might want to just look around a public library and pick out whatever sounds interesting, or have a look at podcasts and documentaries (I used to consume a lot of history documentaries on Arte and a French radio station when I was learning French - Arte now also have an English language channel, but imo any public broadcasting service like the BBC is a good source to explore), or see if there are any museums with special exhibitions that interest in you. Hope there's something in there for you :)
Was having a really hard time falling asleep yesterday and was getting upset because I wasn’t able to sleep (horrible cycle) and this video was interesting enough to distract me and help me calm down to sleep. Thank you for the lovely content!
Ugh yes, that is an awful cycle. I'm very glad this video worked for you and helped you fall asleep! 💙
Thank you for your relaxing and informative videos 😍😍😍
My pleasure, I'm happy I get to share them with such a wonderful audience!
Such a beautiful channel. Thank's youtube for recommending me that
I'm glad you've found me, hello!
oh god it's so nice to see something about other russian cities, not only about moscow or saint petersburg!! very calming and satisfying 😍 danke and spasibo for your incredible work ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! And yeah, when I was taking my Russian course, I was surprised by how many big cities came up in the work book that I'd somehow never heard of 😅
It’s simply the best asmr voice on the web
🧡
Nice! Thanks for the video you shared.
My pleasure :)
My God you voice is like a Angel . Thank you so much for this video...
Aww that's too kind, thank you!
This is perfect work! Thank you very much for your video!
P.S. От души, спасибо за прекрасный контент!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words! (And I love that I get to practice a little Russian with comments like yours!)
Ohh a history lesson, I'm down for this 😁
Perfect timing 😴😴😴
Sleep well!
Wow your voice so amazing and relaxing. Thank you so much for help to relax and sleep. Hello from Russia with love
Hello and thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot!
I wish history was taught like this
Awesome
Omg, this is my city! Unbelievable! Thank you! ❤️
Hello! 👋
ASMR is not my thing for sure, but this got my attention. Just like some people from the comment section, i live here, although i dont really like it here and i want to move to a different city. But videos like this remind me how grateful i should be to be living in a city with such a great history (and theres not many), it is also very beautiful, especially in summer. Sadly, russians dont really notice this city, its small and univentful. Even though its close to the capital (well, its considered "close" for Russia) and one of the most beautiful cities in the world - Saint-Petersburg (1.5 hour drive), people just forget about this place for some reason
Hey, glad you found this video enjoyable - I know ASMR can be a bit annoying when it's not your thing, so it means a lot that you found it interesting enough to watch anyway. And I liked reading your observations. It's surprising to hear that the city doesn't have a bigger status, all things considered. Its history is fascinating!
And fingers crossed you can move to a place that suits you better!
Thank you for this video! I'm from Russia and I think the situation with democracy in the country would be better if Velikiy Novgorod defeated Moscow in the past
OMG, i am from Velikiy Novgorod, i am studying there....
Я тоже
Hiii!
@@MelangeASMR приветик!! Спасибо вам за столь прекрасное видео, не думала, что кто-то ещё знает и помнит это город... Но именно с него началась история России.
Привет из Великого Новгорода. Очень неожиданно и приятно увидеть АСМР по В.Новгороду. Спасибо.
Hello from Velikiy Novgorod. This is really suprisenly to find asmr about V.Novgorod and I'm enjoyed. Thanks
Hey, it's so nice to see so many people from this city! Thank you :)
Wonderful, so insightful and beautifully read. Absolutely gorgeous hands and nails too...I hope you don't mind me saying. Thank you!
I don't mind at all, thank you 😇
@@MelangeASMR 😳
Не ожидала увидеть свой город 😍 Асмр 🔥
Hello hello!
I like your ring it reminds me of a compass
U are the best ✨️
💖!
I'm always confused when Daugava, as it's known and cherished in Latvia, gets referred to as Dvina. :D (I've been to Latvia several times and my sister lived there for a couple of years. Daugava is... pretty important culturally, I think, there are songs and legends about it.)
Meanwhile, I indeed keep confusing the Novgorods - I knew some of the history of this one but kept forgetting it wasn't the one on the big river because that one is too far inland. There was a Russian children's book I loved as a child that took place in a Novgorod, I should check if it says which one it was, in case I had had my mental image wrong this whole time...
Ah see, I didn't know about Daugava, but now I've been listening to Saule Perkons Daugava which is a lovely song and yeah, I think "pretty important" is on point.
My knowledge about the Baltic countries is so thin, I guess it really calls for a video soon just so I can learn something haha.
@@MelangeASMR Do! Their history and culture are utterly fascinating, because they're at the crossroads of so many cultures _and_ have their own.
Daugava is also where important moments of the Lāčplēsis story take place, so, yeah.
From Russia with love❤
💛
I love you channel, the content is always interesting but... I fall asleep half way through most videos 🤷
That's fine, that's what my channel is for! Hope you sleep well 💙
💜💜💜💜💜💜 from st petersburg

This foreign girl is truly professional asmrtist..
I think she learned that in smth university like Harward.
Thanks for video
Ahaha that would be something! Thank you :)
@@MelangeASMR you are welcome
Please, also make a video about Georgia and South Caucasus. Thank you.
Great suggestion! Might take a bit tho, there's been quite a few lately.
Send this to my man, he's from Novgorod and such a history fan
I’d love to hear a whispering video!!
I'm sorry, no whispering on this channel! But I'm sure you can find other channels that fit what you're looking for, luckily ASMR is a big community these days.
@@MelangeASMR that’s ok! I love the soft spoken too. I wasn’t sure if you took requests. 😊
It’s gonna take me a few nights to get through this one … I foresee many 💤 😴
If that means guaranteed falling sleep quickly, I think that's excellent! Sleep well (whether or not you're through with the video by now haha).
@@MelangeASMR I’m not quite yet through! Haha but I am loving it as always 💕💕
That kid was so sweet.
Right? I love the drawings so much!
ЦарЪ всея Русî жил там!
The Tsar of All Russia lived there!
Can you please make a video about Riga ?im from Riga ,by the way 😜 thanks
The Baltic countries are on my list of topics, which however is long and growing longer so it might take a while until I get to it. Greetings to Riga, have a nice Sunday!
Perfect hands and voice
Are you a history teacher? If you are, your students must be very pleased at your lessons ^_^
Only on the internet ;) I'd just put everyone to sleep!
Your hands look amazing with white nails. I never thought I'd ever consider a hand so feminine and attractive. A hand. Life is a trip
I have a question. Do you spend hours making your hands look this good then sit there in your PJs doing this lol
That's the dream 😆😂 But the sad truth is that the manicure doesn't take very long and then I do have to leave the house because we're not filming at my place, so I put on normal clothes. Though I don't know, living in a city probably means that no one would bat an eye if I were to run around in my pyjamas.
Really fascinating. it is possible to have a video on the maritime republics of Venice/Venezia/Veneding and Genoa/Genova/Genua (especially Genova hehe)?
omg Stannis, hello! I'll see what I can do - might take a while tho.
Хочу по русски. Это так неожиданно и приятно!
Do the Belgrade please .
Новгородцам привет англоязычным соболезную
Ich warte dieses Video auf Deutsch.))
Ende August :)
Thanks a lot for the asmr of Russian history and geography. Russia is the best country in the world for me.
Please make video about Kyiv
Hey, thank you for the suggestion, I like the idea! It'll just a take bit, I've had a lot of requests lately.
Hi! I just found your channel yesterday and it's really surprised me! I usually only listen to the mouth popping/personal attention ASMR stuff but your voice and gentle vibes were so captivating that I actually listened for a while. Please keep doing what you're doing! ❤️
Aw thank, I'm glad my video worked for you! And yeah, I totally get why these - let's say more flashy - ASMR styles have become so popular. Personally, I'm still very fond of more old-school rambling sort of videos (and I think my editor would quit instantly if I did mouth sounds haha).
Awesome
