    "There's no point arguing with a babushka." I love this line. It's so universal. Makes me think of my Vietnamese grandmother-in-law, fits the same stereotype to a T. Her mind is fixed like a rock.

    Dear Ellie
    I am now addicted to your blogs about your country, and this one showcasing the North Caucasus was incredible. On each vlog you interview many people, and I am amazed that there is a recurring theme through the young, which is the love and respect that they show to the elders, which I fear has been largely lost in the west. But mostly, as I have said before, you show that us ordinary people, in whatever country, are the same, we want to live happy and peacefully, but it is the governments who cause the problems, and who are universally disliked by their people.
    Thank you once again Eli, and as I have awarded you the Lenin medal for your work in showing Russia, from an unbiased view, I am now going to award you the Nobel Peace prize for your work!

Many developments were made in all the major cities of Russia, its actually amazing the difference is night and day. But the fact that russia is 17million km2, its hard to develop every inch, so there will be places very old. But in time they will also develop and it would be amazing to see the results.

    Thank you Eli. This was such a beautiful place. I love the old town feel to this city. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of produce you were able to collect from your backyard. I had no idea.
    I saw many fruits and shrubbery that I see here in my small town in the Midwest of America 🇺🇸. It caused me to wonder how these plants came to live in such various places around the world. Very interesting.
    I also really appreciated how the people in this region respect and care for their elders. Much like the way I was raised as well.
    You are a lovely woman who is fearless, adventurous, kind & curious about the world. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing.

      hahahaha.... It would be great to make a video trick or treating in Russia. Yet another incredible piece of content from Eli. video creation has actually come so naturally to her. She has actually acquired success extremely quick, I can't but not be a bit envious of her, though the top quality of her videos are far better than mine as well as better than the majority of youtuber's. I have been blogging regarding Russia for over 4 years and also the youtube algorithm has not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. I can see that you are interested about Russia. Can I ask you, to critique my channel and tell me what is wrong and how I can get better?

It, definitely, looks like an idyllic place to retire to. I will be looking forward to seeing more videos of this delightful Pyatigorsk. Have a nice weekend! 👏👏❤

      Loool it was exactly like the usa. It was like texas california lousiana hawaii alaska in usa. They had regional autonomy similar to state politics in usa. But were far from being a independant country
      The 1991 ussr break up was very unnatural. Its like if usa seperate into 50 different countries
      The ussr breakup was engeneered and encouraged by usa for obvious reasons. By financing independantist political group, tricking local population into believing breaking up would solve their problems and forcing gorbatchev to accept toxic traitor reform in exchange for money. Which is a trap he fell for
      Then in the 1990s and 2000s to solidify the breakup from moscow. They started reviving old almost extinct cultures from 100 200 years ago. Making laws banning russian language. And laws obligating use of the old language in schools governement media workplace
      Its like if Lousiana was forced to abandon english
      And speak french. Or hawaii abandoning english and speaking hawaian. Or california abandoning english and speaking spanish. Despite its a old almost extinct culture
