That family is GREAT. good, hard working father and mother. Great kids. Very intelligent and funny. Great dogs. Great herd. Beautiful land. Bless them all
The boys are so funny. Their little banter makes this video more entertaining 🤣 And I love that they are full of question and curiosity. I hope their life will get better as they grow up.
My mum said despite the utterly unforgiving environment, the family had more resources than her family did when she was a child on the Yangtze River plain.
Such gorgeous kids & very well educated & articulate! God bless them & their families always 💙
Ridiculously cute kids. That little boy’s questions are something else, he has a truly unique way of thinking.
What a life style!! They are not afraid of hard work, and they know how to live off the land.
You know it’s cold when they walk and here that crunch, crunch, crunch 🥶 These reindeer herders are the true meaning of hard workers.
It's heartening to know all kids are this exasperating regardless of where they are raised lol its like watching my own kids. Even the conversations are the same. And the endless questions 😑😂
Yeah that’s true people stereotype families of certain different cultures but the reality is that there are families with difficult children in all cultures.
Kids will be kids wherever they live.
Fascinating! Those boys are adorable and so smart.
They are originally Turks but seems they get assimilated in a certain way
Not sure how being unable to count higher than four at the age of 7 makes them "smart." Counting is not a matter of literacy. People living all over the world in rural communities can count.
@@Transportia maybe in their native language they can..

"i am a dolgan and zakhar is probably not!" haha these kids are crazy chatter boxes ... funny kids.. i dont remember my father being so kind and patient with them as theirs is.
My god I love this kid. He is curiosity and he says the silliest things but that's what makes him so interesting.
The youngest is the curious among the siblings 😁
The way he ask and correct things is so cute😀😀👍🏻
A MOST EXCELLENT education!! Reading, writing, arithmetic and hard work. Those kids will do well in life.
I agree with you!
For sure they need some other little friends though. Apart from that ur spot on
P
Most excellent, dude!
They'll do well in life if they stay in their region...they might not do so well if they moved to Moscow.
Curious and humorous kids 😂.. it’s interesting how they enjoyed and consumed raw fish and meat. God bless them.
@@Mori_Kinoko there are many different kinds of Asians, each with different ways of eating food. Thats like expecting an American to know that the French eat slugs.
@@ahmedhusain8911 Most of Europe has a traditional dish with slugs.
Sincerely, a European.
They may have possibly been salted/smoked (I am thinking with the kids snacking on the skin though I could be wrong and that is just being done for the nutritional content/healthy fats in it) to some extent but if not, it's smart because the freezing temperature would kill anything bad in the meat that could make them sick so it can safely be eaten raw :>
@@lil_weasel219 In Switzerland, cats are eaten, although in Europe.
@@lil_weasel219 No, it's snails, not slugs
@12:20 *Beautiful moments of real life.* Great documentary !
Interesting how the children question everything around them. The parents tell them how it is, but they still question it, because it all seems messy and weird. It takes ages to understand life as it is.
It's interesting to see the Samoyed dogs doing what they were originally bred to do!
"Doomsday is near"
"Galaxy is big it cant even see us "
Damn son i cant sleep from now on
They have to let this pure people with there pureness i wish no dirty turists come there or they get to be a toy for the tourists.
@@efoefo6479 ah nobody comes there.. this places is some of the most isloated land int he world.. mostly just hunters, herders and some gas workers and the russian government employees.. i will say as fucked up as russia is they did well for these people and their culture and even give them gas royalties.. its not much but maybe 150$ per person per month but its more than is given in many other countries.. they have special boarding schools and mobile schools for them that teach their native languages plus russian using native teachers.. boarding schools even got little teepees for them to sleep it and give them native food like frozen fish and stuff... its actually pretty kind when compared to how the natives with similar cultures were treated in north america..
yeh its probably a belief they have in their pagan religion that they sut accept as a matter of fact thing.
Молодцы, ностальгия по северу, сами такие были ,но жила в поселке. Очень нравится этот фильм.
I’m in love with these kids! What a wonderful family!!! 😍😍😍😍
Beautiful family.
I don't know what it is but you have to respect people living like this, because I know I couldn't. Human's that still live in extreme conditions like this, nothing but respect.
Very interesting. A huge respect to this people for being adaptive in such inhuman conditions.
We're the one's living in inhuman conditions.
@@quantumscavenger9280 exactly. How brainwashed people are thinking its other way around
I think he ment the extreme weather. If some one told me that its was impossible to live in such cold weather i would have to agree. That's what he ment by inhuman. I'm a human(I think) and I know I couldn't live there. Other than that its seem like a beautiful life style
under 70 celsius. pretty harsh weather
If there is meat there is life. Its perfectly human we evolved in deserts and this is a frozen desert.
Now that is some COLD snow. Only heard it squeak like that a few times in my life, and never in the South.
I was about to say the same. The squeak of snow seems that frost is clearly below -20 degrees. I once experienced -33 and that was harsh. This kid at start went out in sweater, wow.
In norway we call snow that makes that sound for "klaka". That squeaking snow is bird song for us up here north.
This is really bizarre I know but for some reason I cannot _stand_ the sound of squeaking snow, it's literally like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard to me it hurts my ears so bad 😭 I have no idea why lol but I had to watch this with the sound turned low.
here in New England I can hear the snow squeak and crunch like that pretty often. I know it’s probably nothing in comparison to the snow in Siberia, like in this video, or Canada, Norway, Finland, you know. but to some New England weather may be child’s play, but to us it isn’t fun lol
Beautiful kids 🤗🤗🤗
That kid is really smart! He's on point with his questions! 😲
OMG!What a lovely Family! Those cute kids know lot of things!
Has he asked why the sky is blue yet? Such a curious little man.
The very best education. Reading, writing, arithmetic and life. Look at the closeness of the family!
Excellent job both theme and videomaking
its great to see people carring on their lifes in such difficult environment.
The subtitles, are hilarious!
Kid #1: Doomsday is coming
Kid #2: Okay [keeps eating]
Most happy people😊
That woman has great insight, & offers sharp perceptions about their world...
This is so delightful. What sweet kids
Love you family amen Rachel Ann nick Mathew Albert Alaska native people I love u guys
Good video it shows a lot of life you can only i vision these people work hard and so do the kids
Fish scale roll ups,cool.

poor raindeer:((
He wants to be a regular, ordinary man! Amen...

Amazing mobile home on sled!
Yes, but usually peoples of the extreme North live in traditional homes looking like teepis, they're called choom or yaranga, depending on the language. Last year governments in some regions began compensating cost of deer skins to make a traditional choom.
Thank you very much, it was great 🙏🌷💖🇷🇺💖🌺🇷🇺💖🌺🇷🇺💖🌺🇷🇺🌺💚
Thanks for sharing this interesting view of whats like an alien landscape to most of us!
Beautiful family,
Wow! These Reindeer Herdsmen are styling compared to their Forefathers!
I enjoyed watching this, I love their incisiveness, I will be friend with them, is this their only recorded video?
Russia n people r very hard working and have multiple qualities. That is why they prospered so much which they failed to hold after its collapse.
How come that kid peed in -50c and still survived
They have to be quick ))) In nothern towns kids go to school if it's - 54 )))) If it's -55 they can stay at home. But if it's "warmer", they must arrive.
Pay attention boys! 😂Maybe should've have asked... "How many flies in the room?" Great video.
These kids are so funny, good job kiddos.
The best arthouse I've ever seen
I am very happy when their children watch action movies. The film is called the red 2. A film about the martial art of pencak silat from my country. Indonesia.
greetings of peace from Indonesia.
15:18 this is most of you really need to see, how to take a life swift and clean.
Really cold country also I like how the men cutting the rain deer 🦌 it’s so quickly . I’m Montagnards indigenous.
Absolutely wonderful'
I love this kind've show's...
Dang us in America are super spoiled...
Americans (especially Native Americans) are always welcome in Siberia to master traditional skills :) There are lots of similarities in cultures, it'll be a great place for cultural exchange.
@@svetlanakaravaeva7636 I would love to travel there
@@nylesmoore3422 find Russian ppl from Siberia (may be me on Facebook, though I'm not a professional guide facebook.com/svetlana.karavaeva.54/ ) and go, it'll be unforgettable)
So far real travel is hardly possible, but I found a film about de-icers in Yakutia, it's a rare profession, the vid has subtitles: ruclips.net/video/ahIigZeJDPs/видео.html
And one more about people in Altai, Altaians and Russians, with subs already written on the screen:
ruclips.net/video/WYy8woc08Sk/видео.html BTW, the author is this film's director, he has an old film about hunters living at Yenisei River, it's with Eng subs, too, look through his channel.
19:48 the reindeers like get out of the way or you're next🤣
Muito bacana!!!! Legal mesmo!!!!!
I don’t agree with the comment that these are exasperating children. They seemed like wise little old souls and good company. It was hard to watch the animal get killed but they didn’t prolong it or make fun of it at all. I think they are good people.
Brave and intelligent Kids.
What a beginning, taking a pee....
very beautiful
So many comments are so disappointing to read here. These are Mongolian Tsaatan people 40 years ago when the border was divided they happen to be divided into Russian territory. Now I must say it is a little sad to hear them speaking Russian but but still these are Tsaatan Mongol people.
T London They did say they were Dolgans. Not Mongolian Tsaatan people.
It even says so underneath the video. Remember that Mongols live in and around Mongolia not in the Middle of Russia. Even though you were not correct in saying that they were mongols, I do think it is sad the way the Russians have been taking away their culture and language. But as we see in the video they are being taught their language again. And they are taking back what is theirs. I am happy that things are being done. Though the Russian government should definitely do more to compensate for what they did to them.
culturally related to tsaatan but live thousands of kms to the northeast of mongolian reindeer herders
actually they are turks, not mongols.
@@virtualvortex3146 not turks, they are altaics (tatars).
"Damn! I can't do this anymore." 😂
0:49 стоять .УУУУКААА😃😃😃😃явно кровь затундренного крестьянина заговорила
Да они просто от наших затундрённых набрались всего, живут-то рядом ))) Ну, и смешались чутка, тоже не без этого )
What a tough life
Must be real cold in a place where a *living* fly is a rarity ...
White raindeer pull your sled through the snow...a children's dream!
What a life, I'd like to run away to Siberia and be a reindeer herder!
come, there are programs for mastering Siberia. They give land, I don't know about reindeer, but you can ask.
As Turkısh ı understand some sentences but ı thınk ıts from Yakut/Sakha Turk language. she told uch (3) and bılmeppin(ı dont know).
Indeed it is a Siberian Turkic language, just like Sakha
fascinating
Smh omG thats SO COLD!!! 😖
I could never hang man! No way! 😲
* Im sayin'!!! 😖 Even hearing the ice crunch under their feet when they walk--hurts my teeth! I could never live there! I really couldn't.
**😖🤢I cant imagine eating that frozen fish skin either, the way those young boys did lol
15:27 oo shit!😮 He just cutted off that deer's spine
iko uwais .. wkwkwk they was watching the movie . my pleasure from Indonesia ...
So sad they can't speak their mother language
crocs in snow...so me
At least the goverment provide them education at their place. Thats good for this beautiful children.
There is shortage of teachers who can travel with families in tundra, but the government tries to give children from 7 to 11 years old primary education at home. Then they'll go to a boarding school, study 13 subjects (like all children in our country), native language will be taught as a subject, too, and they'll have apples and sweets :) they can't buy in the middle of the forest. The summer will be spent with the family, of course. At 16 they are already experienced nomads. Unbelievable! :) At this age they can go to a further education college, and then to the uni, or go to the uni right after high school, at 18. Until 18 education is mandatory. Mnay people in all regions study free of charge at the uni if they did well at school. But many indigenous people try to go to a college to have a profession, and then return to their traditional life. They can't live without it :) Sometimes they return to roaming after years of success in the city :)
@@svetlanakaravaeva7636 wow, i didnt know they could have Dolgan language class. How can you find teachers who can speak Dolgan? There are only 1000 person who can speak Dolgan.
@@hamzakorkmaz01 yes, the absolute majority of ethnic groups have teachers of their languages who are trained at local colleges and unis, usually for free, and they are employed by schools as all other teachers. Teachers who travel with families also work for local schools; parents just apply for teachers, and the school provides them, that's all:)
No Lidl, no Aldi, thats life pur.
... and, best of all, NO TECHNOLOGY!, apart from a basic TV!
Really, You really going to start this with the little boy pissing?😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Ничего себе...
И всех комментариев ни одного на русском... а вроде живём в одной стране, но ни кто не интересуется?
Много на русском видео есть. И в школе люди географию учили, о многом рассказывалось. Ну, мне рассказывали, по крайней мере)
The first few seconds are an odd thing to record and put in the video
Gentle with their children.
Hyvä
Wow!didn't knew reindeer ate fish
Whose ears are in torture hearing sharp snow tracks? I can't stand the sound of it.
OMG you're the first person I've ever met who can't stand it either it's literally like nails on a chalkboard!! 😭 Why is that??
In real life the sound is OK )
That’s a MN winter sound when it gets -20. I’m used to it
Kids😘😘😘😘
How can they stand the cold? But the kids ate raw fish. The skin. Good video. The kids are getting an education .
I swear to god you can't freeze a Russian to death.
they are not russian, at least not ethically
Theyre clearly not ethnic russian
Samoyeds ❤
Absolutely 💯 amazing doc 👌 😍 👏 🙌 ❤ 👍 👌 😍 I was glued the whole time. Love how they said there's are putin mom I thought u said he was bald 🤔 lmao 🤣
Wow, this kid is talking about doomsday, the two suns prophecy, how does he know about this??
I think they have had contact through trading with other people.
Reindeer love fish sticks...lol
Were those carcasses used for food or discarded after the skin was removed?
It looks like a bunch were hauled off, probably to markets. Like farming but you travel with the animals.
That's the raid 2 ...lol
Oh my poor deer !
guleet I wondered what the other reindeers is thinking witnessing one of its member being killers like that. I mean, do they feel sad? Anguish?, afraid, or worse hold grudges.?😬
@@cosmonguyen2344 I think they do , but they know , they can do nothing about it !
But they have to eat.at least it’s not pre wrapped in a supermarket,if u want to eat meat ,you have to kill it.i wonder if we could do that ,if we wanted meat.and it wasn’t all done for us.
Victoria smith in Western society many people would probably be vegetarian if they were faced with having to slaughter animals themselves. Some of us are becoming soft as time goes on. I am unsure if they used the carcass because there was a baby in it, they were talking about how they killed it for nothing, and the child was acting strange and questioning what they did. I’m hoping that the carcasses they loaded on the sled were used for food and not discarded as meat from the old, weak or diseased, while only the hides were obtained. Ultimately I do not criticize them for slaughtering reindeer because it’s their main food source, but I personally felt bothersome emotions when seeing the slaughter happen, and thats why I choose to not eat meat since my circumstances allow me to make that choice. To me it’s not so great seeing something so lively wriggle in pain and become a cold chunk of tissue.
I feel sad for game I harvest (kill), but to my family it's food. Such good clean hormone free food. My kids love it too.
Lol, those reindeer are nosy as fuck!
Is like living inside a 🧊 icebox
Wow, the eat raw fish skin. Never seen that before
