In this video we are embarking on a captivating journey through the Arctic landscapes of Anadyr, Chukotka. I traverse the city and its surroundings, unveiling local architectural wonders, crossing a frozen estuary and showcasing the unique charm of this remote Arctic gem.
We discover the distinctive features of Anadyr's architecture, immerse yourself in the local culture by indulging in authentic Chukotka cuisine, and witness the city's vibrant life against the breathtaking backdrop of snow-covered landscapes.
As we delve into the daily life of Anadyr, I'll take you on a journey through the city's shopping mall, exploring grocery prices and gaining insights into the local economy. At the same time, our adventure doesn't shy away from the mysterious and abandoned; we'll explore forgotten places, including a former military base that once housed the storage of nuclear weapons, unveiling a piece of Chukotka's complex history.
This video captures the essence of Anadyr, Chukotka, providing a rare and intimate glimpse into a world shaped by Arctic beauty, cultural richness, and historical intrigue. Enjoy!

CORRECTIONS, REMARKS AND CLARIFICATIONS:
1. The wind power station shown at 24:13 is the biggest in Arctic zone of Russia but not in the whole country. The largest wind power station is located near Nevinomyssk, Stavropol region.
2. Ironically there was no printed bus schedule on the bus stop at 11:53. However, as I mentioned in the video, it was available online. Not all of the bus stops had heated room, only the ones with the highest passenger flow.
3. At 12:58 I followed the road to the ferry harbor. Officially, the winter road wasn't open but it didn't scare some drivers owning off-road vehicles to still cross the estuary. Being there for the first time, I didn't understand the trajectory of the unofficial winter road and wasn't sure in the traffic. Ordering TREKOL would cost me ~40$. After some calculations I decided to walk to Anadyr because, firstly, it sounded more adventurous lol, and secondly it was cheaper (leaving alone the risk of falling through the ice).
4. The man at 20:38 seemed mentally ill. I didn't check whether he mentioned real salary or imagined it. The rest of the interview was cut from the video because he jumped from one thought to another and I lost sense of he was saying.
5. Grocery prices in Anadyr differed from one store to another. One product can cost x in one store, x2 in another one and x3 in the third. Take it into consideration. There is few federal retailers in Chukotka which is one of the reasons why prices may be significant.
6. How about wild animals? Well, polar bears do not inhabit the territory around Anadyr, they live somewhere northern. Wolves? They can indeed be seen somewhere around Anadyr but the possibility of encountering them is still pretty low. While walking to the nuclear storage I saw a fox but it seemed to be afraid of me and it kept long distance, so I didn't care about the fox and carried on walking.
fish soup, you are saying fish soap. soap is what you wash your body with, the words are pronounced differently.
@BigYellowFont I'm used to eat chemicals, no worries
One of your best Vagabond. Well done! Intriguing and I can't believe I saw the inside of a Russian Nuclear Warhead site. Wow! But now you need to run for President!
According to the internet it seems the average income of Chukotka is going up and is around 130-40k per month. Even then with the prices you showed us in the grocery store, if you buy an average of around 30kilos of consumable products a month that would be 1/4 of income gone. That just feels very expensive to live there. Thank you for the great insight on this video.
I can confirm that the average salary in Chukotka is ~1500$. Nevertheless, life is truly expensive there.
I never thought I'd see a guy walking across a frozen body of water, give a tour of a grocery store and explore a Soviet nuclear missile storage facility in one video. Thank you for this and all your other videos! The are all incredibly fascinating.
There's something magical about being all alone in the middle of a frozen lake at night.
The walking across the frozen lake was crazy. I can't believe he would do that.
Well said. Totally agree. This video was fascinating!
@@glorymanheretosleepwhy not?
Because the width of the lake might be very much? @@zenshy2139
"In winter it's frequently pretty cold here." I believe you.
😂😂😂 gave this internet stranger a good laugh
haaaa
Dude, going in that Nuke Storage alone and in the dark was scary. You are a legend for filming that.
I agree. The sign says “Dangerous Zone” so surely it’s quite dangerous to be there.
for real. I feel like zombies are about to jump out. Its so remote, desolate, cold, dark.
I fear for radiation in there.
And poor ventilation makes it dangerous
@@Triadii Radiation shouldn't be a problem, I think they just stored warheads here and didn't assemble/dissassemble them. Fucking scary and quite dangerous place though :D
Thanks for travelling to so many unique places around Russia - especially such remote places. It is such a pleasure to be able to see how people are living and what they are doing in such places. Huge fan of your adventures and what you are able to share with us about Russian people and culture. Cheers from USA!
you and I sure do live in two different realities.. cheers from California, where I watch in horror at what russia does to people I care about
@@ColinMor-fj3qcwut?
@@ColinMor-fj3qcwell, you’re Californian. That explains everything. Most of us rest of the country barely consider you part of America.
@@JM-kv2kn LOL. California is the 8th largest economy in the world and feeds the rest of America. You live in one of those states that heavily rely on the government?
@@fearsomebunny when did I dispute California’s economy, kid? I merely spoke regarding its social fucked up attributes. Stick to playing fortnite if you can’t comprehend YT comments. Around 7th grade you should be able to understand these subjects if you try hard.
I love how a monster truck just pulls up and is like get in
Fascinating stuff. I was with the military (NATO) during the cold war. Seeing the inside of what must have been one of the most heavily protected military installations in the whole Soviet Union seems almost unreal.
Deuteronomy 11:16 KJV
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
2 Timothy 3:13 KJV
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
lets analyse the lies through which are we daily deceived:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forget?)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)
lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA)
half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played)
lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them).
Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%)
lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves).
Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means>
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale.
BIBLE IS:
BASIC
INFORMATION/instruction
BEFORE
LEAVING
EARTH
= BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth.
Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG)
lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret:
- THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason.
Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry).
28 lies, should i go on?
Best wishes from the USA. 🇺🇸 I wish every Russian good health and wishes. You’re a fascinating country. Thank you for your production.
Спасибо большое!
I lived in Inuvik, NWT, Canada. This is bringing back great memories. I loved the isolation, the weather, and the people. I had many adventures medivacing out to the settlements in our zone. We had an ice road in the winter. I loved the Spring breakup, the screeching and crunching of the ice jams in the river. We also had brightly coloured rows of townhouses. Cheered things up in winter. ❤️🇨🇦
It seems Greenland is the only Arctic circle country that has towns that could even come close to “pretty.”. Maybe it’s a Danish thing.
@@xlander-jp1rdfairbanks inupiaq tuktoyaktuk kotzebue...
Anadyr looked quite nice, considering. It looked far more cheerful than I was expecting. They put in a lot of effort to make it look friendly. Great video as always!
Yes, my thoughts too!
Are you joking? It looks like a nightmare! What a dreadful, depressing place to live.
@@BKKGarrettnot for everyone
To me it looks peaceful
@@kawabatayuri name me one, I'm going to check, I know siberian cities like Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk to be a very good looking citites.
This small town looks nicer and has more public services than your average midsize city in America. Not to mention he’s walking wherever he wants even in what looks to be the bad part of town without a worry in the world. It does look like a nice place
Great tour. I used to live in Alaska 1735KM east of your location. We had the same hard snow, ice fishing and ice roads. Food was expensive but only 200% of Lower 48 prices, sometimes only 150%. We also had very high winds - I could never walk as far as you did. We would use snow machines and F-250 trucks, but only the Army had tracked vehicles for off road snow travel. The coldest drive I ever took was a -66.6F (-55C), then the thermometer died. Maybe it was colder? It was always a challenge to keep electronics alive in those conditions.
The frost would be the major problem for my filming gear. One of the reasons why I went to Chukotka was an accident "heatwave", so the temperature was between -10°C and 0. If it had been lower than 10°C, I'd have struggled with keeping cameras alive.
I noticed what I call "warm snow" near the nuke bunker where your legs punched through and it was hard to walk. I'm sure you can judge temperature from snow sound (squeaky cold snow, quiet warm snow) I've also crossed frozen rivers - the water flowing under the ice comes from ground water and may be 40 F and make the ice melt - we called that "rotten" ice. Many people drown when the drive over rotten ice.@@ivantrainsLIVE
My name is Joe. Thank you for teaching me (an American) about Russia. I love your country and its people, and your English is SUPERB! You should be very proud of the amazing educational service you provide. You are a GREAT teacher. I learn so much about your beautiful country just watching your excellent videos. BUT....a little fatherly advice. Please be CAREFUL in the abandoned facilities not to get hurt, especially if you are alone. PLEASE be very safe and take first aid in case you get a cut or something. Again, my young friend, thank you for your excellent education about your beautiful country. большое спасибо!

Your videos bring me peace and admiration of other cultures. So nice that the internet helps to be able to bring people together
Agreed 😁👍
I grew up in the town that has the nuclear submarine base right outside of Seattle. It’s insane to see the location of where my imminent death might have came from. We always said “at least you won’t feel a thing if the bombs ever dropped”
Bangor trident base?
yup! :D @@therealdreyG
YOu are RARE!! destination vlog around remote region in Russia, Greeting from Malaysia .Support this channel worth it knowledge.
I have not read ALL comments but would have liked you to mention Roman Abramovich (former owner of Chelsea) who was the governor of Chukotka from 2000 to 2008. The colorful housing and a lot of the modern street art on their sidewalls has been initiated by him to make this remotest part of the Russian Federation a more liveable place. Nevertheless,thank you for the video and sharing your trip with us.
I didn’t know this - thank you, for teaching me something 😊
@@lornarettig3215 You are welcome.
The colorful housing and a lot of the modern streets make after 2008
@@Chaldon-hl6yk Coming up with a one sentence story is questioning your point you probably want to make. What I said is that it was R.Abramovich who has INITIATED it. That same style houses are built after 2008 just confirms that authorities have ratified an idea. I am also sure that you wouldn't be able to name a source which shows how many new housing have been constructed after 2008. Until you do.
The street art definitely makes a cheerful difference
@7:30 for a picture of a computer on a wall to be illustrated in such a remote place is pretty amazing to me . Especially its depiction and time frame it was drawn . What a treasure ! And it's still there . WoW
I thought so too. It would make a great poster.
I'm somewhat surprised by how nice this place looks. I expected it to be more like Norlisk.
Your content where you explore remote places like this are ALWAYS entertaining. Same with the video(s?) that you ski around cities.
I hope to see more videos! 😊
edit; lol the ACAB graffiti in the computer classroom! i remember seeing it in the Norilsk video also lol, it's a small world 😂
I thought the same thing, you can tell these locals take pride in their community. The small details like even a filled bird feeder.
I agree that the hotel in the city actually looks quite stunning.
Ah, you can swim to Alaska! The water might be slightly chilly. A fabulous video. Thank you, Ivan!
I believe one can walk to Alaska during the winter time

@@O-G-zd4gb there is no road, unless you can drive 1000km on swamps lakes and rivers
Amazing!!!!! Thanks for sharing
I've always been fascinated by maps and thus Chukhotka was interesting because it was so close to Alaska. Thank you for showing it to us.
Much nicer than I expected, thanks for Your great content
I love your travels and your English has improved immensely, well done! Sometimes vowel combinations still trip you up but your progress is amazing 👍
I thought he had a thick accent and left it at that.
I grew up in Alaska, in a small town founded by Russian fur trappers. I was out of school when I finally learned the history of the place- what a shame. Russian history is astounding and I appreciate what you’re doing here. Thank you.
Astounding you say... Even the recent one ? ;)
@MartynasStanevicius yep
Almost all Russian history is erased from Alaska. Not even the towns bear Russian names, and Russian maps of Alaska before the sale are so difficult to come by.
@@Triadii Russia was not able to maintain Alaska like at all. Had some tiny settlements and trading posts along the coast line and that's it. Not much of the history either.
@@MartynasStanevicius dont believe west media
Such a beautiful country! I know I'm kinda spamming it on all your videos but it cannot be said enough! Much love from a random Swede!
I LIKE cold places and places out off everything. I LIKE Syberia, Allaska, this place is very nice, i want to live there.
41:14 so scary I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS ❤
You're traveling in depth Russia
❤ I love your videos from INDIA
I did a road trip across Russia a few years back. The people I met in smaller towns were willing to help us Americans when we got in trouble or were just happy to show us the best of their local area. With the current political situation, I don't think I will be making it back to Russia anytime soon, but my experience in the country was a very good one thanks to regular Russians.
Really interesting. Could not stop watching. Thank you for a look at a place I would never see in my lifetime. Fascinating. I am in awe of your ability to tolerate the cold!
Hooray! What a great surprise! A new Vagabond video! I know I say this every time, but your English is superb. Take care! Thank you for your videos. They are so great.
thanks for your effort.. Am long time subscriber. I am as young as it gets to be cold war veteran...I worked with the scary aircraft. These are great videos. Russia seems so far away, but mercator projections are the culprit. An example of distance... my town in Maine USA is 4k miles from San Diego CA, and only 4100 miles from Anadyr Russia. Glad to see Anadyr remains a city. I live in a cold place, and it still does evolve.
cant believe i found a fellow mainer!!!
You are the first Russian I've heard use the phrase "Jesus wept". You've probably spent too much time in the UK 😂 Excellent channel!
Too much time watching Geowizard, indeed.
The abandoned military base was the cherry on top!
Those groceries are cheaper than here in Canada's biggest city Toronto. Makes me realize how ripped off we are.
Watching here from Brazil! Continue with your content! Thanks for sharing
Very interesting! Thank you!
I wouldnt expect to see czech beer in the most distant region of russia :D i was quite surprised. anyway, nice video, keep up the good work you are putting in these
I wouldn't have gone to Chukotka if there had been no Czech beer.
I think your the best travel reporter, Russia people must be happy that you are sharing knowledge about their homes and where they live…thank for sharing❤
You should consider getting a flashlight without such a hotspot. A more diffuse one would look much better, considering cameras' lower-than-human dynamic range. You can also just get a cheap diffuser to put on your existing flashlight.
Absolutely love the videos! :)
Amazing my friend. Stay safe please
We do have some ice roads here in Sweden, now I have to go on a road trip on them. Love it.
Thank you for a really wonderful tour of Chukotka, I do hope I could visit it some day. All of Russia are so beautiful even in harsh weather.
I just found your channel. Watched the entire video. I couldn't tare myself away. I remember the Soviet Union and the Cold War. They were SERIOUS!!
Thank you so much brother you are in my prayers and have everyones well wishes! You are a perfect narrator AND editor, and you have some of the best videos we all have the pleasure of watching! Safe travels and Godspeed!
It was a wonderful and at the same time dreadful journey. Enjoyed it with you. Thanks
Fascinating!!! I love these explorative tours of the remote and least known parts of Russia!!!
This is the best channel to relax after work. Love seeing all the corner of Russia I never got to see as a kid.
I really enjoy that you show us all aspects of life. Even the supermarket prices were interesting.
I've enjoyed this so much that I've subscribed. I'm from Wales in the UK. Never see much of Russia.
Look forward to seeing more.
thankyou for your journeys to the places where i will never be in my lifetime. its so peaceful to watch these colours at 01am
Longitudinally this place is exactly on the opposite side of me (living in western England). A flight would go directly over the North Pole.
btw:
soap: for cleaning
soup: for eating
My husband also mixed up these words! And he ordered SOAP at a restaurant!😂😂😂🤣🤭
You did an amazing amount of research for this trip and the video! Very impressive. Your exploration of the nuclear storage facility was spooky and informative - thank you for doing so much to show us this place! Greetings from the western USA. My dad told me about Lend-Lease ships leaving Seattle, Washington for Vladivostok during the war. He was in the US Coast Guard stationed on the entrance to the Columbia River listening for Japanese submarines trying to enter the river. He said they would wave to the Russian sailors.
I wish all countries got along better. Theres so many countries with stunning geography that i'd love to see.
Thank you very much - wonderful virtual trip.
Just discovered your channel. I found this video super interesting and informative. Cant wait to explore more of your videos. Thanks, good luck, be safe. From NYC USA.
Looking forward to this Vaga! Thank you. Will watch tonight.
This is one I've been waiting for. Amazing you got out there; love your videos, looking forward to the next one
I think this is my favourite video that you have made, Vagabond! Chukotka seems like a very pleasant region, so rich in history and character. I particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful murals in Anadyr. Best wishes from Ireland.

Always fun to watch your videos.
Thanks for doing what you do. Stay safe! Stay warm!
Your videos are always so educational, I hope to learn more, Thank you for all your hard work 🙏
Here in the USA, the end of the Cold War also caused places with military bases to become depopulated. Many bases were closed and the towns around them dried up. Bases in urban areas were redeveloped (for example, the airport in Austin, Texas used to be an Air Force Base, just like Sheremetevo airport in Moscow) but the small towns are just sad and dying.
So true! I grew up next to a naval base in Massachusetts. Always had the sound of jets flying around. Even then just idling on the runways produced a sound we were used to. Airshows every summer. The base was abandoned for years and is now slowly becoming apartment complexes. They even filmed some movies there. I miss having the base though.
Thank you for a very interesting video on a part of the world we don' t know much about . I really enjoyed the video ! Love from Australia !.
Spasibo, great stuff once again
I get it might not be necessarily the easiest life, but I swear to god, living in a large city with all the crazy bullshit going on economically and socially I often wish to live in such a remote lonely place away from the worlds shenanigans. Its one aspect I love about Russia, is the vast and remote locations like these, they have such a unique feeling to them.
Amazing video my friend. Keep up the fantastic work.
That was so interesting. Ty for showing me something I'd likely never get to see or know in my lifetime.
fascinating! thank you! people in the u.s. learn almost nothing about what life is like over there. i appreciate your efforts.
Badass! Really enjoy exploring Russia with you. Спасибо
Stunning video, very interesting. Many thanks
Youre videos are getting better and better. Keep it up!!
Great video! Been excited to see your exploration here, keep up the great work! Much love from Norway!
Very nice exploration video. Some of the areas give off serious Metro (game) vibes!
Was just thinking the same thing, MAJOR Metro Exodus vibes.
You are a great guide to unknown fascinating places. Good luck from Amsterdam
Wonderfully evocative journey. Thank you for opening my eyes,
Awesome video thank you!
As fascinating as always. Thanks for showing and teaching us about your country. Chukotka looks like a hard place to live, even with all of the conveniences of the 21st Century.
Wow what a very interesting place! Thanks for your efforts documenting it, from the abandoned towns, the ice roads, the price difference of products in the shops and showing how the locals live, to the old nuclear storage facility in the end… very unique place indeed. Great Job 👏
Excellent. Thank you. Greetings from Scotland!
New subscriber ! Such a beautiful sky , in contrast to all the abandoned buildings and all the beautiful art work. Thank you for showing us all these remote places 😊
Thanks for putting all effort to make such an incredible journey happen. Appreciate your insight fully explanation about the historical significance of the Soviet Union era and the current Russia people and culture. You are a great hero, I ardently praise you for your hard working. ❤ much love and respect ✊ 🫡
Anadyr great video!
Great video! Went above and beyond
Very cool video man, thank you for your time and energy into this.
I absolutely loved this video. I am constantly fascinated by Russian history. The eastern lands are stunning - the light is extraordinary 😍 Thank you!
It’s actually weirdly romantic and idyllic. I would love to have the opportunity to stay there for a drew days. An almost dream like atmosphere. Beautiful.
i was actually excited to see a new video from you and holy crap you do not disappoint
Been super excited for this since I saw you were there on instagram! Thanks a lot
