If I was 50 years younger, I would move to Russia in a heartbeat. I would also live in the countryside like Lars and his family. I hope you get back to Siberia as soon as possible! I love your channel and content. Thank you.
According to the recollections of our Veranians about their meeting with the allies on the Elbe. Americans are very similar to Russians, and the British are arrogant.
Dude, your channel is amazing! I retired from the Army 9 months ago after a 26yr career. Iraq x2, Afghanistan x2, and Poland. I love exploring and learning new cultures. I'm currently watching your LA video and understand the dynamic when your brain thinks in multiple languages at the same time. I've been learning Russian for the last few years. There's just something that draws me to their culture. The language is beyond beautiful. Is it possible to DM you? There's much more I'd like to ask you. Спасибо, до свидания.
I guess, you can say yes, villages are decreasing in population, because more and more people are moving to cities. If there is some kind of businesses in villages, then they have a chance of upgrading to selo (not yet a town, but already more than a village) and then keep on existing. In USSR it was pretty common that old people would choose to live the rest of their lives in quiet and cheap village with 1 or 3 shops, but now it isn't.
same in most countries around the world. Here in Australia kids from the smaller towns tend to go to capitol cities for university, fair chance not many return home after their studies have finished
Это тенденция не только для России характерна. Может когда то процесс пойдёт вспять. И люди потянутся в деревни. Но это мало вероятно. А так да, заезжай, да живи. Только дом в чувство привести нужно. Если это возможно. А вот ёлочные советские украшения( игрушки) сейчас дорого стоят
This is another great video! My grandparents had one of those chests, but much bigger. It was beautifully painted with traditional Hungarian red tulips. Inside of the walls had lots of money glued to it, a reminder of the great depression of the 1930s. These almost insignificant things are the ones that we tend not to forget. Amazing stuff!
Watching videos from you, Lars, and others showing abandoned villages, could a person just move on in one of those houses? How would one find the owner to buy an abandoned home in an abandoned village? It seems such a shame those houses are just rotting way instead of being someone's home. I love the look of the village houses. Great video, brother.
Нужно будет обратиться в администрацию района, в котором находится деревня и дома Там подскажут и возможно разрешат жить просто так или купить ( не думаю, что будет дорого )
My grandmother had a chest like that. She was not Russian but she was from the East Europe. I think it's still in the old house, where my old man still lives.
my mother had been born in 1937, and all she has told me about her "village" part of life was like: "The best decision of my life ever was abandoning my village home for the f***s sake!" (she left her village in 1950s)
Я удивлена, что 15 лет как эти дома заброшены, но в них сохранились некоторые вещи в таком отличном состоянии. Ведь даже бумага может за один сезон разложиться. А здесь 15 лет..
In Canada we call those chests cedar chests because they are lined with cedar. Here, only the very old ones had metal on them, more than 100 years old. My parents had one but my wife and I don't. We are 63 for reference.
I watched your stream with Igor and in a note to this video as well I want to add about reviving cities outside of Moscow, mainly in Siberia I would say, the thing is USSR pursued much different goals in state development and lots of industries, for which cities and villages were built are long gone or are not that important any more, or rather changed in technology. Thus places populated before for working opportunities lost this value, this is important in perspective of now capitalistic Russia (this is not a rant about capitalism just inevitable part of system change) where government and private investors lacking return to support big development of these places, with people moving out its only worse as it might be done in vain in a few years, also who will keep maintainence and adding onto it. Sure basic utilities should be necessary in any case, most of the time its done through tourism, bringing more Russian to visit would help, that's in most cases on regions or cities to implement such plans. People moving to cities is a cycle, as I wrote about it under video about prices of houses, similar to development, people seek opportunity thus money, thus better life. It goes around, prices rise and people then go full circle back to living in villages due to their better capital (mostly middle class) and overpriced cities, to seek slower pased villages with better money management. It is sure long way to go, I can only compare to my country Czech Republic, which is much smaller so things move quicker, but it went kind of similar way lf moving from Soviet block, industry went to crisis, countryside was in desolate state for more than decade, then EU pumped money into certain development (this is for another topic, just take it as it is..) so many public areas got lot better, now for few years people started to buy properties back, investing in small towns and villages, financing projects with their enterprises, local tourism got a lot bigger which helps a big time, things are nicer, more small business rise up and people tend to care about litter and looks of their towns.

Similar chests have been used in Germany in the distant past for the dowry. You would store your linens in these chests that you brought into the marriage. I have seen such chests from the 17th, and 18th centuries, etc., decorated with beautiful paintings. The more ornate the more well-off you were. People took a lot of pride in them and their content of course.
This reminds me of abandoned Russian villages that my grandparents lived on in British Columbia, Canada. The newspaper could be used as insulation and as toilet paper. I remember it well.
Lost places in the end. They are interesting to visit because there is always a history behind a town becoming a ghost. They are also like stuck in time allowing us to see how life in the past.
Another trip down memory lane! I recall that this was one of the first of video snippets off the old memory sticks (cloud?) where I really met Lars in his survival mode and I couldn't quite tell at that time how Ksenia was taking in the camping thang. I see now that her joy in soviet memories was awakened by the Christmas Tree ornament, and her sleepy (tired in a good sense of a long day and much walking) "Light my fire..." was just too much. You guys are trips! Aloha from Big Island ( С Новым Годом! )

Ден, привет, выздоравливай! Отличный выпуск, я до старых видео ещё не добралась, это тоже не видела. Очень нравятся заброшенные места. Подписана на одного фотографа, он путешествует по России именно по заброшенным деревням, сёлам, домам, усадьбам, и снимает фоторепортажи. Это очень интересно и атмосферно. Старая мебель, открытки, фотографии, какие-то атрибуты интерьера - прям погружаешься в ту эпоху и историю. Размышляешь о том, что же произошло с хозяевами, как сложилась их судьба. Иногда настолько жалко дом и вещи, которые обречены дряхлеть там в одиночестве, хотя вполне некоторым из них можно дать вторую жизнь 😟
I truly love Russia and its history and being in such places you can’t help but feel like a Time Machine. Thanks for watching the videos happy new year
Since i like Russia so much, i know i have way to romantic view about Russia. So to fix this a bit i look at channels like Vasya in The Hay and so on to get a more realistic and balanced view. This do not prevent me from loving Russia, but it prevent me from having only a romantic view of it. With the growing economy Russia now, i hope this will benefit many rural areas too. 🙂
@@user-ze5tt1zg7d I see your point, at the same time flies are important. If we really want something to get even better then it is, it is important that someone show us where we can make it better. If there is something wrong with your car, you want to know what it is, so that you can fix it. Even if you love your car, you should still be able to see what need to be fixed. 🙂
yeah, some villages are dying, obviously there's more work in cities , youngsters trying to make more money , but in America it's cities that are dying ... literally cities turning into zombie towns.

Greetings from Flagstaff! Happy New Year 🎊🎉🥂 Ksenya’s version about docs roughly translated - without paper, you are a piece of $hit. Even at my old age, I still remember the saying…😂😂
Cool video. BTW I was given a Joseph Brodsky book where the Russian is always on the right page and the English translation on the left. You're already multilingual, so your brain will soon connect all together on auto. ☘️🍀
That sky is incredibly beautiful, deep blue where the clouds break! I haven't seen skies like this in America in 20 years+! I bet there are no chemtrails in Russia!
Wishing you a very speedy recovery have missed you (and Luz) . (You Tube is shadowbanning videos lots of subscribed feed doesnt show up on starting screen) Stay safe in Guadalajara Jalisco (Ciudad de Checo Perez) ....
I always look forward to your posts, you always crack me up, specially sounding like a carnivore eating some road kill on the kissing of lake Bikal, omg that was funny but truth of the matter is that i would have done the same thing.
I wonder how a Jeep JK,hummer h1,ford raptor would tackle that trail but it makes sense that people leave for opportunities not present where they are.
I have been in Russia 6 months, i love it, but my dream is a little house in a small village with a greenhouse. How do I find one? Can you make referrals?
They could be bought easily with land, but they are deep in the first and that sort of life is hard for modern people. Now they are being re used as lumber for future homes.
Hey man, welcome back to Russia! It's true that many Russian villages are dying. It's a problem that dates back to the USSR as the country had to industrialized rapidly and needed a massive workforce, meaning that many villagers had to move to cities to work in factories. The villages that remained were largely collectivized to feed the growing urban population. Another factor is the fact that many of those abandoned villages were no longer economically feasible as they were located on historical trade routes that have become defunct over time. What's reassuring now though is that many Russians who have managed to secure remote work contacts have opted to buy plots of land in otherwise dying villages and build proper houses as opposed to cramped city apartments. I'd actually consider that should I get a remote work contact at my next job; I'm a village boy myself, and can't imagine raising kids in a city. BTW are you planning any trips to Moscow any time soon? The wife and myself love your videos, it would be lovely to meet up. Would it be okay if I DM you?
Do you guys know of a book that shows how the old rural Russian homes were built? (In Engrish haha) Been watching Lar's videos for a bit, now watching yours, too. Would be fun to go exploring with you guys, no gay lol.
I have heard of abandoned villages all over Russia. I don't understand because most of these villages are in good agricultural areas, where they could have prosperous farms. Is it just because of road conditions? Does the government discourage small farms? I know that after the revolution, they killed or drove off the Kulaks (independent prosperous farmers). Did collectivization make farming distasteful to the people in Soviet times?
You may be partially correct about how soviet politics affected rural population. On the other hand modern technologies just requier very fewer people to work on land to produce enough food and after all climate conditions and soil quality on the most part of habitable russian territory make farming maybe possible, but hardly economically reasonable, when a comparable tiny patch in south can easily feed whole country
Будете еще удивленнее, если узнаете как путинское ворье в Кировской области и алкашня за 20 лет развалила все деревни. Потому что это Кировская область
Hey, Dan! Dan, if I'm not mistaken, these same videos have already been on your channel???? How is it going in Mexico, waiting for the videos from Mexico!!!!
If it wasn't for Immigration Canada forcing some immigrants into rural areas, a lot of rural Canada would still be depopulating. I expect Moscow is doing to Russia what Toronto is doing to Canada.
Мексиканец. даю подсказку если календарь 2008 года, это не значит что люди в 2008 году закончились. Просто перестали бабки календари лепить, никто не привез, их же не в деревне печатают)).

Is it just because of road conditions? Does the government discourage small farms? I know that after the revolution, they killed or drove off the Kulaks (independent prosperous farmers). Did collectivization make farming distasteful to the people in Soviet times?
You may be partially correct about how soviet politics affected rural population. On the other hand modern technologies just requier very fewer people to work on land to produce enough food and after all climate conditions and soil quality on the most part of habitable russian territory make farming maybe possible, but hardly economically reasonable, when a comparable tiny patch in south can easily feed whole country
Будете еще удивленнее, если узнаете как путинское ворье в Кировской области и алкашня за 20 лет развалила все деревни. Потому что это Кировская область
😊👍 Are you back in Russia?

That’s what “urbanization” means. Happens in every country
True
moscow hides nothing, modern life empties the villages. also in france and italy and so on
Когда-то в этом месте был Детройт

I'd love to have anything to do with Lenin, as my son is studying Russian history at University soon.

Its all on the description its the last re upload out of nostalgia. But Im also sick I have not been able to record or upload something sorry
Nostalgia is good at this time of year (I know it would be better if Ksenia was there to in person as you go through this re-edit)🥲@@Wild-Siberia
@@Wild-Siberia Get well mate!!! I wish you good health!!!
If it wasn't for Immigration Canada forcing some immigrants into rural areas, a lot of rural Canada would still be depopulating. I expect Moscow is doing to Russia what Toronto is doing to Canada.
Give it to the poor let them fix it up with government help.
What? Give what? Fix what?
@@Ievontor all these ruins probably
Maintaining good quality road there would cost way too much. That's why people abandoned this village. There is nothing to give away
@@megaotstoy why? If it's ruined, then no one lives here.
@@Ievontor exactly, that was a joke
I would like postcard or page out of old newspaper
Crazy Gringo 😄😄.
Typical for all Eastern Europe...

А где тут Сибирь?
Это центрально европейская часть. Вятка.
Older videos smart one
@@Wild-Siberia В чем проблема населенные пункты указывать?!
Мексиканец. даю подсказку если календарь 2008 года, это не значит что люди в 2008 году закончились. Просто перестали бабки календари лепить, никто не привез, их же не в деревне печатают)).
И по переписи 2010 года в этой деревне даже в 2010 году числилось 5-10 человек. Вымерли и скончались в путинское благолепие.
Чего ж вы такие неэрудированные и заблуждающиеся?!
