A week with my family in Ufa, Russia | Bashkortostan - the land of Bashkirs and Tatars
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 05. 2024
- Bashkortostan is home to Russia's biggest ethnic minorities - Tatars and Bashkirs. The Bashkirs are a Kipchak Turkic ethnic group, indigenous to Russia and they speak Bashkir language, a close relative of the Tatar language. Once Bashkirs were nomadic and they were incorporated into the great Mongol Empire, but then they joined Russia! They traditionally practiced agriculture, cattle-rearing and bee-keeping. The nomadic Bashkirs wandered either the mountains or the steppes, herding cattle, and even now people identify strongly with their village and regard this as the main social unit.
I will show you the capital of Bashkortostan - Ufa and introduce you to the Bashkir national costumes, songs and dances. And, I will also introduce you to my Tatar family who lives in Bashkortostan!

Crimea is Ukraine or Ruzzia?
@@mintofoods1179 spell it correct first it's Russia
@@NobitaNobi-ut5kv No, now it's RuZZia, with their fascist letter Z. When they stop killing Ukrainians , and repay for what they destroyed, then we consider the opportunity to call them Russia.Hours ago they annexed part of Ukraine, because they has not enough land.
What a hardworking kid is your brother.
Never once saw him on his phone. Very entrepreneurial and active.
Living a real life.
Why doesn't anyone say how wonderful her brother is? So young, and already has much more knowledge and skills than any teenager from big cities.
Yes, indeed. He is absolutely amazing!
Salute to their parents
Because blacks from big cities are just criminals
Why don’t you just say it yourself and stop with the preaching ??
Because he lied... He Said he learned in School.
I didnt learn anything in School... They didnt teach me to open a book 🤣🤣🤣
Your brother should be very proud of himself, most kids in America wouldn't do or can't do half of what he does, RESPECT 🇷🇺
kids in America learn about their pronouns they or them.
why are you making this comparison? How do you know what “the” kids (all?) in America (do you mean USA?) are like?
All people everywhere have different strengths and weaknesses.
Don't do a clash of nations or cultures, we don't need that anymore on earth.
@@projectdcb7525 what are you talking about? stop the hate.
Beautiful & humbling. How wrong us westerners are in misjudging these lovely people & their wonderful culture. We have a lot to learn. Thanks Eli for opening your hearts and homes to us
Yes - beautiful and humbling indeed. I just don't support the notion your comment is conveying. It's definitely not true that westerners generally are misjudging these people or any people in Russia or anywhere else for that matter. In the end we are all the same. Let us all be best of friends, learn from each other and be happy! Happy new year to you or anyone reading this!
Nobody is judging these people, they are not Soviet Russians. Look up the history of Bashkirs.
No one is judging the people but rather the government. You also shouldn't be so negative to put down westerners they have done nothing wrong, never heard of them speak about these people or even know anything about this people. I myself from eastern Europe didn't know a lot of the stuff Eli shows and it is interesting. We can learn a lot about different cultures but it is also ok for those who do not accept the other cultures. People are allowed to not connected with every culture they see. Don't be cruel to others but not accepting to me is ok as well. I think accepting all cultures is a lie and what makes us forced to not have a say in things. Certain videos I have seen I do not agree with the culture at all, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful.
I never did so, Politicians are evil, greed and corrupt does not matter their side. People are People anywhere and is good that she is showing that
Only the " government" is judged correctly for its actions Don't be soft-headed.
The young brother.... so nice to see him cooking for his family and not indulged in computer games! He'll be a REAL man when he grows up! Great Lad.
An American Grandmother here. I had never heard of your area of Russia. What a beautiful family you have! Thank you for sharing your part of Russia and educating us. I’m so amazed at how many redheads (gingers) you have. They are so beautiful! I always wanted a redhead as my mother in law and her family were all redheads. Your family is beautiful and I want to steal your little brother, lol. He is adorable. I so wish our world wasn’t so political and we could all get to know each other. There is so much we could all learn from each other. Keep up your channel please because I think it’s a step in the direction of bringing people together. Thank you from the USA.
😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺leaders pride the reason so many lives gone! Very hard! We still bless God alwayys there for us
You are very cute💐🤍 Greetings from Tatar from Italy 😊
Most Americans know nothing about Russia. If they did, perhaps they would hate Russia much less. But that's the point, isn't it? Keep people ignorant and hateful.
they are not russians. They are Turkic people.

I am from Oakland California and wanted to tell you how much I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your visit with your family and the region of Ufa and Bashkir culture. It is great to see the human side of Russia as a counterpoint to what we typically see in the American media. Your videos have such a positive and energetic feeling that is really enjoyable to watch and are quite informative. I appreciate that you have a neutral and open perspective that is focused on sharing your country's culture and day to day views of real people.
Her family is from Bashkorkostan but they are Tatars, not Bashkirs
Опять татарва залезла
Love your family , what real people .
westerners poisoned by their own criminal MSM
Watching from Oakland too
Most good natured gentle people I have ever seen.
Eli’s family is a happiness treasure❤
I have a son who we adopted from Orenburg in Russia back in January 1998. He is ethnically Bashkir, so anything I find about them I send to him so he could find out more about where he came from! Thanks!
I lived in Orenburg for 6 years.
Спасибо Вам большое за то что вы делаете! Счастья и любви вашей семье.
so is he is following his ethnic religion i.e Islam or not?? and how does it work?? adopting Muslim kids into Christian or atheist family?? sorry for being straight-forward with my questions.
Я так тронута Вашим комментарием. Будьте счастливы!
My mother is Russian and father Kazach, whats my ethnicity?
Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada. My great grandparents emigrated to Canada from Crimea, where they lived at the invitation of Katherine the Great to farm the land. They were there for about 80 years and left in 1876. We have grown to many thousands of people that came from Crimea living all across Canada and Paraguay and Mexico. I believe we all want to live at peace with Russia, despite our government. Kudos to the young Chef
You want to live in peace with Russia. Very well! But, for this to happen Russia should stop attacking its neighbors first.
Tatar ?
Probably Mennonite. They came from Holland and Germany and Prussia and lived in Russia at the invitation of Catherine the Great until the revolution when they were no longer allowed to own private land. My father’s family comes from there and yes many of these Mennonites from Russia now live in Latin and North America. My family is in Canada. Many Mennonite dishes have Russian influence.@@Q_QQ_Q
Despite your government?
There is peace with Russia once you submit and get annexed, becoming part of Russia.
Your forefathers went to Crimea while the native Tatars were deported.
That is how Crimea became majority Russian.
It's called imperialism.
That is how Russia became the biggest country in the world.
May be Hutterite Bretheren? We have a large community here west of Spokane. Very nice people. My mom's friends family joined them few years ago.
The red head little boy 🧒 could pass for an Irish or Dutch boy.
Such a beauty. Beautiful family. All beautiful young ladies there.
The language resembles Turkish language. Incredible
Wow. Your brother is truly an amazing young man.
Hi Eli. I am Irish and live in central europe now. I grew up in almost the same way as you. Growing vegetables, farming cattle and sheep. I honour and respect you and your lovely so much. We may differ in language and customs but at the soul level we are the same sisters and brothers. And if people want to avoid cancers and live long you should consider a similar form of living. Minimal or no toxins and self reliant living. Peace and success to you all in Ufa, Russia.
@@paudsmcmack3117 She lived in Italy and Vietnam. What are you talking about?
Potatoes and red hair. All my Irish ancestors salute you. We’re here in Canada now, but everyone is still covered in freckles ❤ lots of love ☘️‼️
@@paudsmcmack3117 ...right, it is strange that people here are not bothered by what is happening in Russia and Ukraine. One person says....that good that she "stay away from politics". Well, Russia is killing innocent people in Ukraine, raping children and taking their land. Just unbelievable.
@@sommerioslo mhm
hiya i originally from Ufa lived in ireland 5 years now we live in Moscow
Most Americans think only of Russia as Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Putin, they have no idea how diversified the cultures are and how large the country is. I love your videos, but they make me really miss seeing my best friend Raisa in St. Petersburg. Due to covid and now Ukraine, I haven't seen her in person in over three long years now. Keep posting the great videos like this Eli.
@@Lili-eh6pz Thank you!
Maybe she will be drafted into the army and you can see her on the news committing genocide in Ukraine
Siberia too
Due to Ukraine? Wow.
@@dianem7677 Very naive and ignorant comment. Go to visit Alabama or Mississippi, and show us the video from there so we can compare where it's better.
I'm from Bangladesh. I really enjoyed this video. Your family is so good & everyone is active with works. I appreciate Mansoor's work. He's really smart & energetic. I'm in love with your family & village. We know that Russian people are so easy going & have good kinship. Real happiness lies on where dear & near ones are like this family.
Allah bless you all with long lives.
I am very proud of your brother, Mansur. Absolutely not many boys in the world can do such adult skills. May he get more success in the future.
Hey Eli!
I'm From Afghanistan but i'm related to your people in some way, when I saw grandmas with that customs which is similar to us I realized that we are from the same blood, I'm Tatar but many years ago my ancestors came to Afghanistan.
I like your videos keep going.
Custom you are talking about Cloths!
Dont use these kind of Cloths.
Loved to see you Enjoy.
How did your family end up in Afghanistan?
I’m a tatar too
@@Svetlana_ZakirovaAfghanistan is closer to Russia
@@Svetlana_Zakirova he is not exactly Tatar, most likely Hazara. Hazara and Tatars are both Turkic speaking people.In the past Turkic people used to be nomads, that is the reason Turkic speaking people populate such vast territories from the most North Eastern Asia to the tip of Europe(Turkey)
I've been to Ufa, Pavlovka, and Krasny Klyuch in Bashkiria, and love the Salawat Yulaev monument in the capital. Ufa is a beautiful city. Love from the USA!
You are welcome in Russia ❤️
Почему я плачу ,такие милые все
Бабули прекрасные ❤️ И песни такие теплые. Спасибо за выпуск
I love how big and diverse is Russia! Thank you for showing this side of your country! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
well, if they occupy more land they will be even more diverse. imagine africa belongs to russia.
@Gerd Weißenborn my point is, these people are not russians. that's why the culture is diverse. unfortunately they are being russified. russification has been followed for centuries.
@@tengrici431 nope their gonna stay in their own territories not other lands unlike the west which imperializes colonies around the world
@@tengrici431 fortunately, not unfortunately.

This is so interesting , in our traditional kashmiri culture , our traditional headdress has similar style with coins , we also have hats so seeing these ladies reminds me of my own old culture. Sadly we no longer practice or wear these clothes , so glad these ladies are still keeping this tradition going.
Are you from Kashmiri from Pakistan or India side?
@@alejandraahmed1177 I’m born and raised in UK 🇬🇧 but have family on both sides , split after the partition in 1947. I have travelled to Pakistan sides with a visa but not Indian side as Indian government deny us visas. I love reading history about my own ancestors, kashmiri and Pashtuns ( mother’s side are Pashtun from Afghanistan ) and it amazes me to see similarities in so many different cultures in that region. Russians are our neighbors I guess so it’s only natural we share similarities .
I love your channel Russia is such a beautiful and diverse country. I especially like the towns and villages. Wonderful culture.
Thank you so much !

Very interesting videos!!!! I subscribed to your channel a few days ago. My wife has a friend in Moscow that she texts every day. I find Russia and the Russian people fascinating! I wish more American people could see the "real" Russia, not the negativity we get here in the US. Thank you for your enlightening videos!!

What an amazing family. I have never seen Russians laugh and smile like this. Are Tatar people always like this?
We all laugh and smile when we’re with our friends and family.
@@user-bs8vp7je8n That makes sense, they are her family and love her.
Poor little brother, pls tell him to put the onions into the freezer for half hour and he'll never cry while taking the skin off....I was suffering while watching him...what an adorable little munchkin! wowoow.... sending him a hugeeeeee hug and kiss from Canada... xo
You are so lucky with a wonderful family. I am so impressed with your Tatar heritege. It is amazing.
My love for Russia grows day by day. I love these simple people.
Then you must check this channel "The Ulengovs".
It's about simple life of Russians, all over Russia, many cultures and ethnicities.
These are not russian people. They even declared independence after fall af ussr. But Russia crushed them
I never comment but PLEASE film more videos of your family. I loved it. And your grandmother reminds me of my own. She passed away in February and I miss her greatly. She was a black woman from southern Louisiana and always had a hard life. Even up to the end was was always doing something either with her church or around the house. Your grandma reminds me a lot of her.
❤❤
My grandma was the same as you described yours. She passed two years ago at age 83. Eli’s grandmothers reminded me of her. I miss her. She was very wise, loving and hardworking woman.
When I watch thid channel and read the comments, I feel such a connection with people of different nationalities who write comments here. Thank Eli for her channel!
Ur little brother is so adorable ❤
Thank you, Eli, for inviting us to your family home. I went to Moscow in the 90s, and it was such a barren and joyless city, I swore never to return - but today, I'm so glad to see Russians with love and real joy - don't ever lose them!!! ❤🎉
What a great volg. Your family look so happy and content. I love the side of Russia you show. It makes me more certain that we are all just people living our lives as best we can and not this geopolitical world of dog eat dog. Damn the politicians ! .... and by the way , your "sister" / cousin is absolutely beautiful , she could be a movie star . Thanks for doing what you do. You are helping people appreciate Russia more and more for the beautiful people that you are. Regards from Australia

What a wonderful cousin you have! I've never met anyone that happy to see me. I mean, they're happy but not THAT happy. You're so lucky to have such a great family.
I know right. I could only wish someone liked me like that.
If there was no camera she would be even more over the top 🤣 every time we meet it’s like that ♥️
@@ElifromRussia We tried the feminist experiment in the USA, long before Russia & much of the world did & it has brought nothing but disaster. We now know, that our women were manipulated by the marxist control system & media, to believe that career, money, & being independent from men, would bring them true happiness. Now our women are suffering more than ever, with record alcohol & drug abuse, sleeping around, std's & a massive increase in divorce and suicide. The solution is simple but difficult to achieve in 2022. Life should be simple = AFTER MARRIAGE = men should work and earn the money for the family & women should stay at home & take care of their husband and offspring. Sex before marriage, is one of the worst ways to injure women & men. After thousands of years, this formula has worked successfully, & almost anything else will just bring (GREAT) unhappiness.
Thank you for introducing your family to us viewers. Watching from Australia.
Your little brother is awsome. He is going to be a great shef and hopefully a great person as well. Very well mannered. Stay blessed young man..
Thanks Eli, another heart warming video. I love seeing Russia. I am American, living in Utah, USA.

I will never dislike you for anything Russian. I enjoy the culture you bring to my boring life. Thank you.
Wow!! I live in Ufa. Thank you, Eli, for showing our city to others. I'd really loved to see as many tourists as possible in Ufa. Welcome😊❤
I could understand almost half of your grandmother story in Turkish. Of course not majority of the words but the concept! What a weird, we had been separated hundreds years ago but the language-culture similarity is still going on. Greetings from Istanbul and thanks :)

Much love from a Turkish follower, the Bashkir and Tatar languages are pretty related to Turkish, it was fun to hear your grandma speak haha
You got a fun family probably one of the coolest family reunion I’ve seen
Thank you for introducing us to your Tatar family who seem to really know how to laugh and have fun with great affection . Your brother is such a sweetheart and clever. Lovely family.
omg! I totally understood what your grandmother said! I am from Turkey of course there are similarities.. wow 💖 God bless her!
yes brother...
the Bashkir and The tartar are Turk.
they are of from same tribe at very beggining then separate in another tribe
Good show, Eli. The Russian Federation has an incredible wealth of ethnic groups and cultures. That has resulted in the collective Russian soul and national strength which, with a couple of exceptions, has no equal anywhere in the world.
Glory to the Russian Federation.
The "collective Russian soul" as you call it was a forced ideal....any inkling of independence was wiped out by murder and the gulags and still happens today under their present dictator. Tell that to the Baltic states, Czech Republic, East Germany, Ukraine etc who were forced to accept your Russian soul idea. You need to learn some history. Glory to Ukraine.

I can imagine regions like these gaining independence when Russia empire breaks down. They are very different than western Slavic people. Same for the Caucasian peoples.

Wow, Eli, your little brother just blew me away with his love for cooking and a practical outlook far beyond his years. Loved this video!
Love the music and traditional costumes. And what an amazing family you have 🦘
The son is very handsome, just like his mother 💖👍😊
Lovely and precious culture. 💖
❤
@@ElifromRussia Looks safe. Do you have any issues there with shelling, or soldiers torturing your family to find the "nazis?"
@@SilverFrogStudios Russians in Donbas are shelled for 8 years by Ukranians. 14000 died. Hopefuly that will stop now
Beautiful family.This reminds me of my childhood.Best wishes to all the family member specially cute baby your brother/cousin.
So glad you're showing your beautiful country to the world so we can see that it and its people are no different from other parts of the world except for its unique characteristics.
Your cousin is also so very lovely and spirited...🌹🔥🌹
Thank you to your grandmother for chopping wood and enduring all kinds of hardship as a 16 year old girl during the war to save the world from fascism. Her sacrifice and the sacrifice of the countless millions will never be forgotten. By the way, I’m partly Turkish from Ankara, and I’ve understood 75 percent of everything that this amazing woman has said in that short interview.
saved the world from fascism, lol
This comment does not represent the state of humanity in its entirety but it does unfortunately represent a significant part of it. It is important to recognize that.
Mother Russia 🇷🇺
You’ve misunderstood what the narrator said. Her grandmother is 83 years old, which means she was born in 1939/40. She lived through WW2. She was sent logging in Moldova when she was 16. That would have been the mid 1950s.
@@davidpryle3935 Thank you for drawing this to my attention.
This is by far my favourite video of yours, Eli, in addition to the one from Tula. Greetings from Toronto, Canada🇨🇦. GOD BLESS RUSSIA 🇷🇺!!!
🇨🇦🫶🏻
Also from Canada, I love Russia!
Why not: GOD BLESS CANADA !
You love Russia? Go there - they need the meat for ukrainian canons just now because Putin is planing a new march to Kiev.
Hurry up !
@@kazimierzgaska5304 Well, if you want to live in globalist, western-media brainwashing, the Soros sponsored Trudeau dictatorship, then feel free to bless Canada yourself. Aside from some positive aspects of this country, it has eroded on every level over the last 8 years. Russia has always been and will always be the greatest country in the world, its arts, history, literature, classics, its monasteries and Orthodox churches, rivers and skies.... If I only spoke Russian, I would have moved there is a second.... So far only passed Level 1 of the Russian language course... so we'll see!
Beautiful people. Thanks for sharing.
I am from Toronto, Canada. What a beautiful family.
Привет, Эли, я из Индонезии, мне очень нравится твое видео. привет из Индонезии. я люблю Россию 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
This is so sweet. You have a family filled with love and happiness. It’s good to see a positive video from Russia that makes me happy. I love your big loving family. Eli you are very lucky. Hugs from America.
Thank you so much!
She's probably the only English speaking vlogger who hasn't fled Russia.
@@libertarian4323 And why might that be the case, do you presume?
@@plevelovi She's female, so she won't be conscripted and sent to the meat grinder.
@@libertarian4323 True...but at the same time, she has collaborated with a Russian state TV/Radio propagandist and had a lovely video where she trained with Russian Spetsnaz (army special forces)....so do you think it just might be possible that she's Putin funded? Just look at how many comments are from Incels commenting on her beauty, then think of Russia's history using "Red Sparrows" like Marina Butina.
Your cousin Lisa is cute. Watching from the UK
I say yes publish these videos. Thanks for sharing Eli😊
