  • Welcome to the Far East. It's the least populated region of Russia - only about 5% of the population lives here. Vladivostok is the capital of Primorsky Krai and it’s the second-largest city in the Russian Far East with a population of about 600,871. The city is famous for its harbor location as the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet and being the final stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

    Hello from Minnesota USA! We are at the approximate same latitude as Vladivostok. We have a "piece" of Vladivostok here in our Minnesota Zoo in our Russia's Grizzly Coast section with amur tigers, Russian grizzlies, and exhibits relating to Lake Primorsky area and Kamchatka region. Exhibits are all in English and Russian as well. We do have a lot of Russian speaking immigrants here. So fascinating!

    The lovely Vladivostok! My first ever exposure to Russia the Country, Russia the People, and Russia the Culture! That was in 1998, I was a young US Marine, we did a port-of-call in Vladivostok as a visiting US Military forces, pretty much a political dog & pony show between the US and Russia politicians & military leaders. We stayed there for a week to help boost the local economy through commerce and building good foreign relations; i.e. by partying, getting drunk, meeting some partying Russian people, and shopping! Awesome experience, interactions with locals were amazing, they were very receptive to us, and it was great all around. I think, and I can speak for the other fellow US Marines in my squad, was one of best experience was we were just hanging around outside a bar, with some old timers, just drinking, talking about home, families, and showing pictures of each others families. No politics BS. Just regular people from having fun & getting drunk with Stoli! The coolest thing happened though was, the Russian merchant marines we met in Vladic, we met them again in Quingdao port! This time in Quingdao, us the US Marines, Russian merchant marine, and a Chinese Army Officer, was actually getting drunk and hanging around at the Chinese Officer's home/store....and just having fun! No politics - Russians, American, & Chinese...all regular people...just hanging around telling stories about home to each other. Best ever experience. After Vladic, we went straight to Quingdao for another another political dog & pony show, stay a week to get drunk and party, and onward to Korea's Chinhae & Pohang port for similar thing.

I am lucky enough that I enjoy reading Russian literature, reading from Dostoevsky to Chekov, Turgeneyv, & Gogol, as well as listening to Tchaikovsky...so, when we visited Vladic, it was awesome for me, even though the stories were set in different places in Russia, but the land and people in books, and the land I am standing on, and the people I am seeing at that particular moment, are the same.

В течение 6 лет я следил за невероятной молодой российской певицей Дианой Анкудиновой, которая родилась в Уссурийске, к северу от Владивостока. Она была удочерена хорошей семьей в Арсеньеве, которая переехала в Тольятти, затем в Москву. Сейчас ей 19 лет, и она быстро становится знаменитой в странах по всему миру! Вы дали мне представление о культуре, из которой она происходила, и многое в Диане теперь приобретает больше смысла! Большое тебе спасибо, Эли!

She was adopted by a nice family in Arsenyev who moved to Togliatti, then Moscow. Now she is 19yo and rapidly becoming famous in countries all around the world! You gave me an insight in the culture that she came from and a lot of things about Diana now make more sense! Thank you so much Eli!

    После распада Советского Союза мои родители эмигрировали в Германию in the 90s.

    Многие важные аспекты моей жизни происходят на немецком языке, но дома мы говорим на русском и we live the Russian culture.
    Nevertheless, German is the easier language for me. Германия - это мой home country, но я также чувствую себя Russian.
    Despite my family I dont have any friends who share the same background. Sometimes I wish so bad for being able to talk to my friends in Russian and being understood. I want to talk about culture and literature and stories and food and I want them to relate.
    One of my dreams is свободно говорить по-русски и посетить место, где выросли мои родители и о котором они так много рассказывают.
