So glad you've decided to stay with us. Ignore the haters. Your videos aren't about politics, they are about people. And getting to know about other people is always a good thing.
Also the war is not about politic is about people
@@ElifromRussia Good Job Eli, 👍
@@ElifromRussia Otherwise, making videos, getting rich off of us, and most importantly spending that money in Russia isn't something we'll appreciate.
@@turuus5215 she can do what she wants. She isn't obligated to do what you want.
@@turuus5215 she can't spend that money anywhere but Russia. Russian people have been collectively banned from the spending their money anywhere but Russia regardless of their views. Perhaps you should reevaluate your position on collective punishment.
I love Anna's answer about what she likes the most about her life. "I like the freedom. I am free from everything. I belong to myself and my children." You can hear the contentment in her voice and words. She's right, priceless.

Yes, that is true freedom. Not having lots of money.
Why are there haters? Why don't people just value learning?? I'm confused. Personally, I enjoyed the wonderful people, and regret only that this beautiful lady didn't dive deeper into the lives of the people so I could learn even more. Would love to visit there.
Hello Eli, I am a Native American( Lakota) mycomment is in regards to their tundra shelter a chuma I believe.
My people live in a similar structure called a ti' ikcheya(common house).
Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Мы очень похожи когда я читал про команчей они были очень похожи на нас
Cree > Lakota ........
so far and yet so similar
Sammi people also similar shelters like Tipi
The more we understand, the less we fear. Never stop making these amazing videos. Community and understanding is what the world needs most.
Ice bathing looks ace.
Beautiful comment. Thank you for sharing.
I never had fear of Russia lol I’m not a simpleton
I loved this video Eli!. We in the United States appreciate and are fascinated by your Russian lifestyles. Communication is the key in making this world peaceful so we can all live in happiness and respect and learn from other countries. You are doing a GREAT and WONDERFUL service is attaining that happy world peace goal. You are a good hearted, sincere and most genuine lady and please keep on doing what you are doing here with your U-Tube educational Russian U-Tubes. With Love & Most Sincerely, Bill M.(from the state of Connecticut in the U.S.A.)☺
You are right
I love the purity and authenticity of these people, not polluted by the twisted views of cities..
Both my Father and Mother are Sami from Finland and spoke Sami language, Suomi language, German and English (after immigrating to America). Sami peoples are spread along the northern-most coastal areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. In the northern states of America, many Sami peoples mixed with the Indigenous tribes and are known as "Findians." Yes, I was also referred to as a Findian as a boy growing up in Minnestoa.
Coming from the tropic of Vietnam, the landscape is just breathtaking for me. I love life of reindeer herders, almost seems meditative .. they are simple yet wise people, who values family, and have an intimate relationship with their nature ..
Such a stark landscape. Life is boiled down to its essential elements without so much extravagant profusion of nature as int he warmer climes.
Looks good on video but too cold irp
How fascinating is the human capacity of adaptation to any type of place! What a great video, thank you! Cheers from Brazil.

Hi
Hi Eli. Just found your channel. I'm of Sami (Finnish) descent in US. Also have relatives in Russia that I met many years ago as they were able to travel to the US to visit us. Thanks so much for sharing. Without your channel, so many would not see the beauty and diversity of your country. Peace and Love 🤍
Russia is a beautiful country; these videos are fascinating. Thanks Eli!
This is so awesome! Thanks Eli from Russia. It's so important that we, me an Alaskan, and you an Anthropologist style RUclipsr, learn of each other as so much of the media and warmongering politicians want us divided and demonized. THANK YOU Eli, I will seek a way to offer my gratitude in form of donation soon.
Eli, please don't stop making your videos or let anyone influence your creative decisions. There will always be those who cannot separate the people from their governments but we aren't all like that. I think you are doing a wonderful job and I always enjoy your exuberance at the smallest things.
You will first learn to separate yourself from your government and from that rabid propaganda demonizing Russians and Russia. Russians are in many ways much freer than many "democracies" who imagine themselves to be a model of freedom.
I did not know you had Sami's in Russia I thought they were only in the Northern regions of Norway and Sweden and Finland? Wonderful video about the reindeers and the way of life for the Sami people living in Russia's Arctic region. Thank you Ellie! 💕 🇨🇦 🇷🇺 😊
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sámi
The Sami extend from northern Norway to kola
Better than any travel documentry programs that I've seen on TV. 👍♥️
How beautiful is Russia!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🇷🇺
UA better
Not so much now. Get rid of Putin and things will be much better.
Beautiful country big time, hard working people from what i've heard yes, monstrous Leader & government Yes unfortunately .
Yes, Russia have trash everywere and people are very poor, UA is better!!!
@@ubroberts5541 Good luck with that
Thank you Eli. You always make amazing videos and I learn something. I learned about the reindeer. “ it’s not a job, it’s a way of life”.
Also , I love the northern lights. Yes, I think whistling makes them move!
The Sami are verry friendly, great people. I visited them in northern Sweden many years ago. You look like you really enjoyed yourself...Amazing Aurora!
10/10 for the costumes. Looking beautiful. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳
That is nice that you love Russia but Russians dont see India as anything special.. so why this craze for Russia among indian?
@@tarun1982 If they get amazed at Russia and its landscape and culture then what's the big deal? Let people enjoy themselves.
@@tarun1982 You cant understand this without having to live in the hellhole that is South Asia. When you see beautiful nature, beautiful people, and an amazing culture, its hard not to fall in love with it. I hate the fact i was born of South Asian descent, and hope one day to escape to Russia. Sure, Russia doesnt see us as special, or worth anything, but i dont blame them. i too couldnt care less for the south asian cultures

I give Eli 3x10 points. 10 points for this beautiflul costume, 10 points for her elegance. 10 point because Eli really looks great.
The herders are phenomenal. Tough peopel doing a very special and hard job. I love the reindeers. Beautiful animals!
100 points for the flashing tumbnail
Prečudoviti škornji in tradicionalna obleka😍😍😍...
Hvala, ker deliš čudovite kraje Ruske Federacije👍👍👍
Pozdrav iz Slovenije.
Reindeer outfit is a 10 for me, very cool and stylish, so much to learn from these videos
Yeah I thought they were great looking as well
I recently found your channel, and I love it. Thank you for being such a positive voice, and for showing so much about the many cultures and landscapes of Russia.
Please, keep positive. For every person who is spiteful in the comments, there are so many who are incredibly moved by your content. Keep up the great work, and THANK YOU, Eli.
How do you define positive? It doesn't mean anything without a precise definition.
@@user-im5wc4bn3v It is my distinct pleasure to introduce you to a common, nearly ubiquitous resource, available in multiple languages throughout the planet: the dictionary. With dictionaries, we do not need to provide our own definitions of words, for they're already pre-defined. From this, we can learn the meaning of words.
@@Remanifest Chinese Communist Party defines and practices the word positive in a distinctly different way from those in the dictionaries. All political powers declare positive to be their own propaganda. Even in American universities, professors are not allowed to criticize students because it is not regarded as positive. It is you who did not present yourself properly.
“I agree with you.”😁
@@user-im5wc4bn3v for sure you are NOT, this is how it mean!
You are so bright and helpful for the watcher without dumbing anything down. It is clear that you possess real storytelling and broadcasting talent. We could all use more of that. Keep being you and staying with your vision, it is the right track for you.
What an amazing natural landscape in the Arctic village! And the lives of the Sami people are respectable. Without your brave expeditions, we would never get to know such beautiful worlds. Truly grateful. Thank you!
Always love your videos about great country Russia 🇷🇺 So big, so different country with lots of beautiful locations.

I'm glad you decided to post the video. It is important that people see that there is positive stuff still happening in the world.
Sure, but in her case incredibly bad timing...
If you don’t see or understand this, it’s quite a shame.
@@MikeOxlong- This was all filmed back in January, and features places and people unrelated to the conflict. Normal life doesn't stop because there is a war somewhere.
@@MikeOxlong- Ask yourself, do you think the nice people in this video approve of what's going on? I'd be willing to bet, at least, 95% of Russian citizens actually disapprove!!! It's like here in the states, the left want's to crucify anyone on the right so you just shut up or pay the consequences.
95%????????????? So the only 5% fight with his own brothers. From Greece🇬🇷
@@kikis194 Greece ??? Is this all Greek to you ??? So tell me what you want me to believe.
Such a beautiful family, may they all be blessed in all their lives!
Eli, thank you so much for your videos! I make mine some words other viewers sent you: "The more we understand, the less we fear. Never stop making these amazing videos.", "So glad you've decided to stay with us. Ignore the haters." It´s wonderful knowing about other realities and people. Keep sending these videos, please!
I lived by the sea in Rio, so everything is so amazing in the Sami way of life! All that snow and reindeers and hard work! It's so amazing! Thanks Eli and the Sami people for showing us your life and how you've adapted to the tundra and the high north!
Thank you Eli! Your work is incredibly important for the western world to see. I just wish I spoke Russian so that I could one day visit the many Russian speaking countries.
Ignore the people trying to accuse you of making propaganda. These types of people are unable to trust their own nose for what they smell.
It was also really interesting seeing remote reindeer herders watching Modern Family on TV. :)
Learning how others live is a very unifying force.
Eli,Thank you so much for travelling all over your country and showing how people live.I must admit I love reading about Russian history. I also watch watch a chap called Sergei who travels to all parts of the country helping people your both truly amazing.Take care God Bless from Scotland.
I was in Murmansk in 2018, early winter, saw the aurora, reindeers, and loved everything there. Hopefully I get to revisit Russia once more, taking a longer journey to see other places too. Thank you for sharing these videos!
What is the University name that teach about raindeer?
I'm happy you decided to continue making videos, it brings us closer together when some want to increase separation. Your kind Spirit is a positive motivation for all 😘
Thank you for your videos and teaching us about your russian culture. Appreciate it very much. Please ignore the hate. I really appreciate your vid eos
Eli, This was such a fascinating video. The costume you put on was beautiful ! I loved seeing the reindeer, something we don't have in the US. You captured the spirit of the life there in the tundra and how resourceful and skilled the people are who live there. As always, thank you so much for sharing your adventures with the world.
The Sami's resilience and 'work' ethic is something we all could learn from. Such simple, beautiful, hard-working, amazing ppl!
Que inmenso País es Rusia🇷🇺🇷🇺 Hermoso❤️ saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
The people living there are amazing and deserve a great deal of respect. Great vid.
I’m surprised they stay in the wilderness for so long. I love the outfit. I give it a ten.
You already made it clear where you are standing with this conflict. And people should not punish you for what is not your fault and not your ideals. Keep showing the videos, and I keep enjoying them. You are doing a great job.
Eli is really likeable. She seems like an actual nice person and it makes me enjoy her videos a bit more than I otherwise would
I love everything in this video! I’m from the USA but I’m a Mexican American man who loves Russians even though I’ve never been to Russia. The traditional clothes are a total 10. But you are so good looking and pretty! 🫶🏻
Wow eli..it must be very cool there..
Nice i give you 10 🌟🌟🌟🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Beautiful Eli! Thank you so much for sharing all these amazing Russian areas and people. Do not stop posting because of what is going on. We love you and love the beautiful Russian people and culture. You take us places and introduce us to people we probably will never be able to visit.
@Mckellan Gonzales oh stfu. You are also complicit to the child slavery in China by wearing Nike shoes. If you don’t know how to give back to society then it’s better to say nothing.
Just wish her videos were an hour long and give prices wherever she can.
😭😭😭😭😭and I hate Biden&Nato!
Soon there will be even more amazing Russian areas and people! Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Estonia, Finland, Mongolia... I can't wait to see what country will join Russia next! So many unique cultures and landscapes all under the rule of a few Moscow billionaires. So beautiful.
These are Sami people and we have a lot them here in Northern Sweden, also in Finland and Norway, my daughter even have small parts genetic heritage with them, she lives around Northern polar circle. It's a fascinating people.
Hi Eli. Another fascinating look at the cultures of Russia. Thank you.
Whenever we see videos of auroras here in Canada they are almost always shown moving dynamically across the night sky. It is sped up for our entertainment. You did not bother doing that and even your shots are not really clear, but I could still feel the magic from your expressions!
Love the reindeer clothes you wore and loved that the babies are gifted with a reindeer at birth! ❤️ from 🇺🇸
EXCELENTES VÍDEOS. QUERO SABER TUDO SOBRE A RÚSSIA. SOU APAIXONADO PELA HISTÓRIA DA RÚSSIA.
Very eenjoyablee docu Elina. Their free way of life is very appealing.
Love the herder costume. Beautiful! 😍10 out of 10 👏👏😘
Russia is simply beautiful, like a fairytale but ofc there is hardship as well. Would love to travel along the trans-Siberian railway.
I enjoy your videos and I learn from them.
These videos are so interesting and a hugely important lifeline for the west and people in countries like the UK to see that people living every day lives in Russia are not plotting, planning, and hating the west - but just living their lives. Huge fan, this is great work. Давай молодец ❤
Eli, thak you sooo much for these videos about the far North. They are amazingly! Both for the priceless info you give, and for how well you plan and edit the videos. I shed a tear when you showed the aurora borealis! Please keep up this wonderful job that you are doing. You’re surely one of god’s gifts to Rus’. 💗🥰
What a hard and meaningful way of life. This is a great video. I think the more your videos include aspects of life and cultures of Russia the more educational they are. At this time in Russian history (March 2022) I think more videos like this are needed to ward off negative stereotypes about Russia. As for the Reindeer Herder clothing I give it a number 10 because it has so many things going for it, the unusual material that are also very practical, the color combinations are fantastic and the belt can be a video by itself. I do not think there are enough videos on RUclips about Sami (aka Saami) people *be it in Russia, or Finland, Sweden and Norway - including sea Sami).
Keep posting those videos young lady.....wishing for peace to your homeland. Greetings from GA. USA
These are such nice people. 10/10 for the outfit, 10/10 for the episode.
The reindeer is the most humble, obedient, calm, innocent ,comfortable to live with animal ,what a character! I really want to have them !!😃👍
Extraordinary. A truly unique, and amazing video.
I love your videos. The best thing about the reindeer series is seeing your excitement and pleasure to be with these different people and the reindeer too. You are joy I look for. You brighten my day. Thank you for being light in darkness.
Ten. It’s a ten. Lovely. Wonderful designs. So beautiful and so practical. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this, kinder and resilient version of Russia and its people.
I am glad you are still posting I think it is more important now than ever to show the world that the Russian people are not their government.
Beautiful and lovely video! Thank you!
Very stylish. Read by for the fashion runway. Thank you for sharing your adventures. So informative!✌️❤️
🇷🇸🤝🇷🇺❤️ Пуно љубави за вас из Србије, диван видео.
Eli I think you are wonderful and so fortunate to live in such a beautiful country, you are doing things that most people in the world only dream of ,Russia is such a beautiful country and the people of Russia are so warm and helpful to everyone they meet. I have been round the world five times and met so many people. I have been close to Russia but never actually been IN Russia ,but that's a long story, for another time .If I were 40yrs younger I would propose to you(LOL) i think you are both wonderful and beautiful

Loved 🥰 this video with the reindeer herders. So fascinating to see their way of life! Thank you 🙏 . Keep on posting! California, USA supports Ellie from Russia!
This is by far my favorite video I have watched, so far! Lovely place, people, values, and it is all so very beautiful! Thank you. The reindeer clothing was not only sensible it's décor was artistic and enchanting. Lovely.
Hi Eli, Tracy from DC here. Your brilliant video's are works of art that give me respite from the world. As kids in the US would say your films are "fire"! ❤🔥
Definitely a 10! Please keep making great content! Don't let the haters get you down!
Where's the hater's you speak of,. All the comments I se are full of praise?
Amazing content, video editing, and everything. It’s a documentary quality.
Love your work. I love Russian history & culture.
G'day Eli, I love your posts from all over Russia, I am originally from New Zealand, I have lived in Australia since 1978.
As a child i remember seeing the Southern Lights from Puponga, in the Top of the South Island of NZ.
I also had the opportunity to work in waste deep snow, at the base of the great southern alps in the 1970s, wind chill about -30. I can tell you and anyone else, that i hate the snow, and especially the cold winds, hence living in Australia.
Keep up the posts, don't worry about the brain dead that come to your channel, just to shoot their mouths off, about something they know nothing about. спасибо вам за ваши усилия
Fantastic video, traditional life style is almost incomprehensible. I find the most amazing personality in a family's environment in daily living conditions.
Thank you again.
Thanks for the videos it's nice to see the real side of the Russian people.
10 points for the excellent clothing from this beautiful traditional handcraft to be able to get through wintertime..! Homemade professionals, 😃🙏Cool!
Peace and love to these Raindeer and they're Herders! 💗🦌
Hey Eli, just recently found your channel and really love your positivity & the content of your channel! Keep up the good work & really love that you're showing the daily lives of people in various parts of Russia, super interesting! Take care, greetings from Europe
Eli you are doing an essential work to make humanity more inclusive and positive . I can understand that negative comment are painful, but you know your videos are relevant and positive , please keep up your viable educational video production 🙌🙏
Beautiful ♥️ Eli nice 😃 adventure enjoying fr jamaica 😎🌞🏖️🇯🇲
Eli...thank you how fantastic. What a wonderful opportunity.
Can you imagine how the ancient people thought about the Northern Lights..
I love your content.
Absolutely love these videos. You are so good at what you do, and your work promotes cultural understanding and appreciation.
Your channel is excellent. You can show in a simple way, the kindness of the Russian people, their creativity, and the vision of harmony with nature, which in the case of Russia, is splendid.
Hello from malaysia Eli..tq fo this touring video..everything was awesome..raindeer..aurora..their culture..very lovely..once again tq Eli..keep exploring..be safe. ❤️
This footage and editing is amazing Eli. Thank you for the temporary distraction from the chaos. I can get locked in following something and I feel helpless about it so this is better. Everyone that watches you knows the kind of sweet soul you have. Don't listen to the Trolls.

Thank you. I have seen reindeer in the town square of Tallin, Estonia during a winter festival. We were surprised by their colors and markings, and size. American cartoons portray Santa’s reindeer as the size of mules or small horses. Your videos are some of the best travel videos I have ever seen. Please keep making them. You have a gift.
Love that I can actually understand what you're saying without the subtitles. I am fluent in Serbian and some of the words (vreme, koliko), things to do with times, dates and asking basic questions are so similiar.
Want to learn Russian fluently and was worried it would be hard, but as a Slavic language I am finding it easier and easier to understand just by knowing Serbian and listening to how you pronounce certain Russian words...it's like wow.
Your videos about Russian culture are so interesting and informative, keep up the good work.
Love your video content from Philippines
I give the traditional reindeer herder outfit a 10. 😁👍🏽
Hello Eli 👋 !
I am from Nebraska USA. And believe it or not, I have seen the Northern Lights all the way down here.
We go pheasant hunting in the winter time and every now and then, while traveling to the places we hunt, we get to see the Northern lights. It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen.
I absolutely love your videos and I absolutely adore you Eli.
Thank you for the videos. God bless you
Loved the reindeer herder's costume and, as expected Eli, you looked great in it. :-) Keep making these very interesting videos and sharing with the world the wonderful cultures within your country. The more we all understand, the better we all are. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦
“It’s not a woman’s job to harness deer. They’re too strong.”😎
10 for the outfit and 10 for the video! 😊
😍😍I love this channel, I love Eli,,you've shown us a side of Russia that we otherwise would never have seen, sometimes when I look at a world map I wonder how people, animals and plants live there. I really want to visit Russia😍😍I also love that costume, its something out of this world, its like in a fairly tale
I share your awe and fascination for the Sami people. Your excitement in this his blog is really contagious.
I long I see the northern lights as well and I’m happy you got to see them and share it with us. 👌👌👌
Thanks Eli! Another great video of such a beautiful place that leaves me wanting to see it myself. So glad you kept posting. Your work is the most important there is. It is needed in the world especially now, so people can learn about each other and that we have so much in common.
What a chance to see the world! Thank you, love from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
