- Murmansk is almost on the same parallel with the northernmost point of Alaska. This fact alone stirs my traveler's gut.
I always thought that these parts of Russia are a deserted snowy wilderness, where some people have stayed since the Soviet times. And, frankly speaking, it was a bit scary to go there: northern weather is no joke.
But everything turned out to be different. Murmansk region is full of life and the most beautiful places. Here you can see the northern lights, get acquainted with the culture of indigenous peoples and feel real freedom and unity with nature.
Being in the far north is an incomparable feeling. A trip to the Murmansk region can become one of the best trips of your life. Check it out by yourself!
Absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorite places you've visited yet. Wish I could experience these locations.
thank you very much!
And Teriberka is just wow. So authentic
Even dogs in Russia are beautiful.😄😍
Даже собаки в России красивые.
Great train getaway from Moscow…🎉
Грустно, что нет просмотров, очень круто и клёво
Есть ощущение, что Тим в теневом бане ютуба

The boat is something unreal! Murmansk is cool!
That's weird, I went hiking into Khibiny several times and never registered anywhere
do you plan to come to Kazan this summer?
You are a little bit home sick, aren’t you? It never goes away, no matter how much you commit to your new life and country. It is all good, and you actually help heal the rift. ❤ from Oregon 🇺🇸.
Boat's like Tim loves them, the ones who does not move. Soviet style interior is just a bonus. 😂
PRO TIP= Washing liquid is met to be pored with the cork at the top, this way, it's easier to control the flow and have a straight equal flow with no spill. Counter intuitive, but try it, it will improve your experience.
Hey Tim, are you familiar with gun laws in Russia? I'd be curious how they compare with the US.
Much tougher and restrictive than the US. It would take hours to explain all the differences.
At one point Trotsky was so desperate to fend off German raids in 1918 he even invited the British Army to Murmansk to help out. For some reason that didn't last long.
This is a weirdly unprecise and twisted take. Probably from bit and pieces of historical information without context or understanding of the bigger picture and knowledge of general events.
1.First of all while officially Trotsky was an equal of the minister of defence in the early soviet state as early in 1918 as 3rd of March Soviet Russia signed a separate peace treaty with Germany. Thus to claim Trotsky would attempt to fend of something german is wrong.
2.Neither Trotsky nor Lenin invited anyone. The Brits were pushing for invading the russian North. German forces in Finnland were only used as an axcuse. As fending off those was named as one of the goals for the invasion. After the peace treaty though it was nonsensical IRL. That's why it was an excuse. It is known that Trotsky and Lenin at some separate occasions expressed some vague thoughts to the Brits that might be interpreted as they were not entirely against a british intervention. But that's about iit and it was before the peace treaty. The invasion of the Entente forces under british command happenned without any consent from the soviet side and was what it was an invasion and an attempt to support the Whites inthe Civil War.
3.While under british command technically the Brits lacked forces and needed mostly american support which they got after some back and forth with president Wilson. Mostly after the Brits succesfully organized the Czechoslovak Legion revolt and convinced president Wilson that the invasion will be a success. The Brits are very traditionsl people they use the same methods to this day. President Wilson insisted on not using american troops in battle, only as guards to the allied warhouses in Murmansk. Alas the british commanders have thrown everybody into battle(It was an international force out of mostly Brits and Americans but also some French, Italians and Serbs). As the actually capable troops were all occupied with more urgent matters at the European theater both british and american troops in Murmansk consited of mostly inexperienced conscripts.
4.Which lead to the defeat of the northern allied invasion in a year. Some White forces remained after the allied avacuation from Murmansk and fought until some time in 1920. In the end the young soviet power has proven to be effective in repelling numerous attacks and that often because of the local support of the population.
Probably because British army is a joke
🤣Ну, умора. Вот это знатоки истории. Какая тухлая каша в головах, это просто дурдом.
