      It spans over 11 time zones and two continents, different people, different nations, different cultures.... There are differencies across a few hundreds of miles, let alone time zones. We need to watch and learn about these things, not about BS in everyday's media, which, we know, support different agendas. We need to know and understand eachother.
      Our ignorance is the root cause of everything bad. Ignorance is food of fear, fear is the fuel of haterade, haterade is the seed of war.
      We don't need that, that's why we need to see things like this.

    I lived in Russia for 5 yrs and was told that my accent was from Volgograd. It turns out that I pronounced the letter " O " as an " O " instead of a deep " A " and also I tended to roll my " R ".

      Unified ‘national languages’ are a recent phenomenon. France, for example, still had hundreds of mutually incomprehensible languages until the nineteenth century. They were mostly wiped out by education carried out in the Parisian dialect.
      In general, increases in wealth go hand-in-hand with homogenous language and cultural levelling. If you never leave your village, then you only need communicate with and get along with those in your village.

    Even though russian sounds alike everywhere in Russia, you still may guess the region of a speaker by some words one uses or their pronunciation.
    I like Perm's accent :) I also like Bryansk's accent, it's very specific too!
    I personally come from Siberia, Altai and people usually recognize my accent. But what many people don't know is that in Altai kray itself there are about 80 nationalities and they all speak Russian, yet they all are able to speak their own languages, keep their traditions and religions. And every year during the Day of the Capital we all come together to celebrate our diversity :)

      Reqional accents develop over centuries in people's *native* language. Accents do not develop when people are speaking a foreign language.
      For example, in India there are hundreds of regional accents in Hindi, but all Indians speak English with the same accent.
      I'm sure there are plenty of regional accents in Russia but only in the people's native language.

      There are regional accents, but you would spot them only if your own accent is much different (say Moscow vs Ural). Most people try to speak "proper" Russian, like they do on radio and TV. If you comment on someone's accent they might take offense, like you are implying they are illiterate.

Even here in village 30 km from my mother city (which is Prague), I sometimes have problem to understand, for example they use completely different word for female dog and such things related to animals or agriculture and they use word "longer" where it was supposed to be word "later" which makes me crazy, like they say "I will arrive longer" instead of later and when you explain it to them, you will realize that they totaly don't know their native language, so I don't understand how could they finish elementary school. 😀

    oblast(48), kray(9), city of federal significance(3) --- territorial entities
    [autonomous] republic(24), autonomous oblast(1), autonomous okrug(4) --- ethnic entities
    The title "kray" ("frontier" or "territory") is historic. Krais are legally identical to oblasts. 3 major Russian cities function as separate regions.
    The republics that are part of Russia have the right to establish their own state languages, which are used along with the state language of the Russian Federation. All autonomous oblasts (except one) became republics after USSR collapsed.

    Eli this is a great video, well done on seeing so much of your country, so many people have not seen much of their own country.
    I love your personality and openness you have a wonderful disposition and approach.
    So many countries could learn from Russia on how to accept and embrace multiple ethnic groups.

      Татарстан ближе всего к Казахской культуре: язык очень похож, одна религия, да и Казань очень сильно похорошела за последние годы. Так что, рәхим итегез Татарстанга)

    My family both mum and dad originates from near a small village in Turkey called Tatar Koy joined to a town called Luleburgaz. So I guess the Tatars are spread over other countries I met some in Romania while on business some years ago who I could even understand using similar Turkish words.

      In fact, different peoples are called Tatars: for example, Tatars from Tatarstan and Tatars from Crimea are not related ethnic groups at all.

      Yes, there are many ethnic Greeks living in Turkey. It seems that Erdogan has Greek roots too.

      @@naturealbums in Russia no one is assimilated: you can be anyone - but if you are one of us, you are one of us - you are part of your small, as well as the universal big nation of Russia. You are as much a part of your small nation as you are a part of the universal big nation of Russia. No one forces Mansi, for example (they live in my region), to call himself Russian - he is already a Mansi, who is part of the entire Russian people : )
      This is not just the main - but the only reason why the Poles were unable to create their great Slavic empire: they forcibly turned everyone into Poles. But they still do not understand the simple truth: Empire and nationalism are incompatible.

    This is fascinating, thank you for this video. When I was young I went with my high school from China back to France all the way by Trans-Siberian and we passed through Perm 2 station! Since that fab adventure I've always been very interested in Russia. At the time it was still USSR. A couple of years ago during the pandemic as we were not able to travel, I started looking for songs in various languages. My university in France INALCO teaches a few languages that are spoken in Russia as well as Russian of course and I used their list, but eventually I went on to find more than 400 songs from all over the world, each in a different language or dialect. I got to learn a bit more about Russia on that occasion and I found songs in Tatar, Crimean Tatar, Yakut, Avar, Chechen, Buryat, Bashkir, Mari, Ossetian, Chukchi, Yukaghir, Altai, Evenki, Ingush, Chuvash, Kalmyk, Karelian, Khakas, Khasi, Komi, Koryak, Khanty, Permyak and Selkup, so I'm very pleased to find your video and I can't wait to see more about that as I am already a subscriber! Спасибо & рәхмәт!
