The narration, the music, and the seamless placement of different footages made atmosphere of this vlog is so cozy. Well done! Although it is no representation of modern Russian villages, this park is really immersive and takes one back to the time of Pre-Petrine Russia. No wonder the Slavophile writers depicted such era with great nostalgia.
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
Exactly. And whether it’s the “real” Russia or not what translates through Natasha’s medium shows her emotions and passion’s which inspire her to inspire us and THAT makes all the difference.
@@ИннаШерифа your just jealous beacuse your country not like this.. ive seen a lot ov vivdeos every mahor cities of russia from moscow to vladvostok.. yes there are still russian people who live in post soviet houses but FOR MY POINT of VIEW i dont considerd them as HOMELESS COZ THEY ACRUALL LIVE ON THERE own house and they have plenty of food put on their table. HOW EVER IN AMERICA with 2 million plus homeless people . That american Citizen ill consedered the HOMELESS PROPLE coz they are actually on street sleeping on street.. they cannit even afford to by Food... watching from phlippines..
Yes Natasha, I've been thinking about whether watching yours or other RUclipsr's videos is entertainment, educational, or merely "distraction" as you put it. It's probably some of each, but I think I'll conclude for now that it's a form of friendly communication between distant and various peoples which might in some small way help keep us from obliterating each other❣
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
from the old ways to the new, from small towns and farms to moscow and nightclubs, travel by plane or by train, dorm rooms and studying, from classic deserts and modern foods to learning to cook, to never forgetting where you come from to never knowing whats next and the people you will meet along the way. thank you Natasha for sharing Russia and your journey with all of us.
I did learn something and interesting. And as an extra benefit, I got to see and hear a true Russian Princess, again. Thank you. You help restore my faith in humanity, restore my hope for the future. Please stay safe, be careful. This world needs you...
I like watching your videos because the nature is so beautiful. Being from the United States, we are not educated all that well on the sites of Europe and Russian but I love the window trimming as it reminds me of something someone would see in Germany or perhaps Holland. It is also nice to see that the areas there are not so different than here and that nature is beautiful everywhere. I hope people watch more of these videos to see that we are all the same people and that there is so much beauty in the world.
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
So? Do you think they're educated about the US and North America??? Its normal for people to know the most about their own country or region. Its not like there arent libraries, internet and college courses if you want to study it more or better yet, airports!
Thank you for the visit to the Moscow countryside. I wish I could find any other youtubers who could do such a great job of presenting the subject. I feel more like I walked around the farm with you than like I watched a video. Its so much more interesting the way you do it.
Have you seen Dari Step’s videos? She’s a native Moscovite. She’s traveled extensively in Russia and Europe and Natasha is only beginning to document things beyond Far Eastern Russia. Its a huge country and she has barely scratched the surface.
What a nice evening to spend with you Natasha and the neat places you visit. Your voice helps with quietness of the park. Stay well, safe & have a good week ahead.
Well done, nothing wrong with having a tourist area to remind people of their past. Seemed pretty quiet. A study in history convenient for the modern person
Nice farm. Thank you Natasha for being so honest. I agree such farms are a rarity in modern Russia. Hey but you should have driven a tractor or something :) Come on you're on a farm so its time to roll up your sleeves & get your hands dirty haha
Она экзамены на права еле сдала, какой ей трактор? Еще снесёт с перепугу какой-нибудь свинарник, или коровник, и хорошо, если без жертв обойдется и не посадят, можно будет потом полжизни донаты на ю-тубе выпрашивать, чтобы возместить ущерб.
"She's like... 'I'm a lonely chick ..'" :D:D Sometimes talking to animals is actually worthier than talking to people :D I'd been sure about that in many occasions :) Definitely I'm interested in seeing more animal interviews by Natasha :)
Btw, "Ostrov" means "island" in Russian. It is nice to see such neat recreational parks that attract tourists and draw attention to historical locations. I see that this park is more focused on recreation, yet there are lots of parks in Central Russia that display authentic wooden houses and structures from different regions and different eras. They are usually called "музей деревянного зодчества" - "museum of woodworking". I know several in Suzdal, near Velikij Novgorod and Kizhi. Definitely worth visiting (albeit in summer months only) 👌
I have a friend named Ostrovsky, so I guess his family were islanders? I also saw Kilitta is a Russian name. There is a cargo airline in the US called Kilitta Airlines. They fly 747's.
@@AndrewTubbiolo, yep "Ostrovsky" is a very Russian-sounding and noble surname. There is a famous 19th century playwright of that name . You might try to surprise your friend with this knowledge 😉 However, the origins of surnames are usually hard to trace. Usually they referred to either the profession - Kuznetsov aka Smith, owner or father - Ivanov aka "of Ivan", or place of origin - Ostrov as either a village like this one (exactly THE one), or a real island. As for second surname, doesn't sound Russian to me 🤔
Yeah, this green roofs really fit nature and create "Hobbit" mood, in my opinion. I don't know, why our russian izba's were build in different way. Maybe this "live roofs" aren't durable enough? Roots demolish wood protection and water start to pouring through the small holes, for example
Natasha you have an eye for video shots and your narration is great. Even though i followed you for your unique origin from the Far East you still entertain with topics on rural Moscow.
It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm additionally a massive follower of this channel and I additionally create videos with regards to life in Russia. Sadly the youtube algorithm has actually not been as great to me yet. Practically anyone who watches my channel states that it is very good, unfortunately few get to watch it. Can you be extremely honest and inform me just how I can make better videos? I value your sincere viewpoint.
Very nice Natasha. This was a wonderful journey to the past. Similarly, we have Beamish Museum here in Northeren England, which recreates a slice of living and working in the years before World War I.
Russia is a poverty stricken nation, there are so many villages look like World War 1, and are living like in World War 1. Of course, we are very glad that our super power richest strongest Putin-God like nation can attract such love, especially when a daughter of a corrupt ****ing system is making videos to appease fellow European "partners" with our State of the Art living that has no Analogues in the World! xD
All that open space is refreshing. Those valleys are scenic and beautiful. Plus, the ancient Cathedral and the antique wooden houses make us feel like we are traveling back in time hundreds of years. Oftentimes, city dwellers forget that all their food comes from places like this. I'd bet there is a lot less traffic there than there is in downtown Moscow. The video was also very educational. Thanks for sharing such a nice film!
First of all, love your sweet voice, it's so soothing and gentle. You could read fairytales for children. Second, the narration it's great. The views are pretty cool. I remember I went to an old complex of cabins in the outskirts of Moscow in 2010. They had this old style houses with decorations in their windows. And one huge Banya which my gf and I used. It had a really cold indoors pool. It was cool to submerge in the gelid waters. Hey there's so many cats in the video. Some seemed to come out of the church, were they religious? Another thing is that I have the impression this picture of you in the old wrecked carriage I've seen before. It has certain melancholy to know how things pass. That old town is just an amusement park. It's the same in the US. Old towns are gone, they are also amusement parks. History pass the pages unadvertedly
Well, I'm sure it's not the entire town! It's just a small park near a historical church to attract tourists and bring money in. Ostrov's city centre looks quite modern.
I hope you enjoyed you day out in the country suburbs of Moscow. It looks very relaxing there! I could be completely happy living in a small farmhouse in such a place, with a vegetable garden, some chickens, and some fruit trees perhaps. Thank you for sharing your stories and adventures here with us, Natasha! Stay safe, healthy and happy!
The farm is no longer a farm this is a recreational park as you stated. A real nice way to experience older building and such, one has to go to the country away from the cities. But in this video we get gain a sense of what it was like is the old farm house. I have read quite a bit about these old Russian farm house but it is rare to see in one. Thanks for showing us around.
It looks like they take good care of that recreation park . They have lots of young trees planted now for the future . Oh those jars of fruit conserves - also called jam or jelly in English.
Thankyou for this video. The heritage park you featured is not unlike those we have here in Canada. In fact, the arrangement of exhibits are almost exactly the same as those in Fort Steele, British Columbia. I loved this video. Keep doing more of these, and the sound quality over time I am sure will get better and better.
Hi Natasha. Your video is very heartwarming and you have a charming way of expressing your ideas with wit and humor. From the selection of music that accompany the video shots of the countryside, to the historical buildings and historic windmill, to your keen observations and camerawork - you deliver very powerful material for consumption by any inquisitive mind including mine. Thank you for educating me about your lovely country and peaceful countryside that offers such a calming effect on the heart.
You're just getting better and better every day ... videography, editing, music - and your voice - do not underestimate your voice - there's an honest quality to your voice narrations which cannot be overlooked and it plays a huge part in the appeal of your videos. Nicely done my dear, nicely done.
In some ways She brings the same combination of intellectual history and insight as a Russian to her homeland that makes Rick Steve's on PBS so interesting. I have really enjoyed her videos.
“I got scared” 😂 the roster was claiming you and the other roster said back away fast. Ps nice vehicle Natasha Claus. I like these places you take us. The church/ sawmill 😜 and the wind mill looked so beautiful. I would have loved to grow up in an old village. Nothing wrong with modern cities just my preference. This was interesting and great job on the music choice made me smile.
@@tykehotep2865 you put your pipe down to type that reply. : ) Wow I like helping people get off the pipe even for moments at a time. Great job friend. Baby steps
Thank you for sharing. This area looks a lot like areas with Dachas. We could never afford a Dacha (summer home), but had friends who had 2nd homes. Still have friends who live 5-10 KM out from Moscow, they commute to work. Loved this traditional farm, park, farm animals, etc. Love how Moscow is setup with the ringed road systems. Not hard to get out of city and into more rural green space. Many don't know that Moscow has huge green spaces set aside for recreation, even in the heart of city. Nothing says 'Russia' better than the traditional architecture; log buildings, and golden onion domes on top of churches. Even the background music is traditional Russian Folk Music, which I really enjoy. Did you know that Russian Roosters are bilingual??? They speak 'chicken' and Russian. If they want handouts from visitors, they have to ask in Russian... really - LOL. I trust you are well my friend. Thank you again for your wonderful videos.
My favourite moment when an accent can change meaning- when at 3:02 Natasha greets a couple of roosters with "Hello, roasters". I thought, wow, that's really harsh confronting the birds with their eventual fate like that. Then I thought for a second... 😉
Natasha, many thanks for your informative video. The majority of the viewers will have no idea how difficult it is to create such video. Your editing skills have substantially improved so that the transitions were very well selected and in many shots there was action (roosters) Also the “documentary” voice was pleasant and no signs that you were reading it from paper. The traditional music was very well chosen for this subject. It all gives us a good idea of the subject which you would bring to our attention
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
Hello Natasha!! I loved this video! Interesting to see a farm from the past and Russian history. I loved the scenery, too! Thank you for everything you do, see you soon!
We have a similar place in Northern California! It's Fort Ross, near the Russian River. The furthest outpost of Russian imperialism. Near there is a really cool Russian restaurant/ cultural center. Run by volunteers, and pay for your meal is "suggested donation" for an all you can eat Russian spread 🇷🇺🪆🍗🍞
My family used vacation in Rio Nido from time to time. I was very young, but I remember there were small cottages amongst the redwoods. Very beautiful area, but prone to flooding.
Maybe the word you were tying to find was "preserves"? Like jam, or jelly. Thank you for a great video. I always enjoy watching and learning 😁 250,000 subs soon!
A quick trip to Google Translate shows the Russian word for "preservatives" (jams, jellies, etc.) is "konservanty." I think that's where the confusion came from!
Got to be careful with the word "preserves". In German a Präservativ is a condom, which is презерватив in Russian. It's like never saying rubber in America when you mean eraser.
Delightful and charming glimpse into the traditional Russian lifestyle. Made me want to go right over to watch a video from Otaba Yo! Looking forward to more
Incidentally I appreciated your poignant perspective on how people are fleeing the countryside in search of work, education and medical care. It's much the same here in the US though to be sure we don't have such charming and ancient villages and churches. Never the less; more and more people are returning to the countryside; fleeing the urban life and its tension and realizing that the relaxed traditional life in the rural regions has an undeniable quality worth saving and cherishing. Modern transportation and telecommunications are making it possible and I have no doubt small rural communities will return...and I hope to visit them someday. Cheers.
I'd be fascinated to know your opinion. I'm likewise a massive follower of this channel and I too make videos regarding life in Russia.

I too can admit that I have a crush on Natasha! Her looks are rather unique, but her facial features sometimes give off strong St. Vincent (Annie Clark) vibes: angular and elegant, even without makeup.
@@SuperLittleTyke, "Natalia" is a full name - as written in passport, but most Russians use the diminitive forms of their names. Natalia - Natasha or Nata, Maria - Masha, Ekaterina - Katya, Alexander - Sasha and so on. It's crazy, I know 😜
It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm additionally a significant follower of this channel and I also create videos regarding life in Russia. However the youtube algorithm has not been as nice to me yet. Almost anyone who sees my vlogs says that it is excellent, yet few get to view it. Can you be completely sincere and tell me just how I can improve? I value your straightforward opinion.
Thank you for the tour. I always find Eastern European wooden houses so curious. I'm English, and historically wood was in demand for ships, so old houses here are stone/brick or wood framed with earth/clay infill. To see entire houses made of whole logs is just extravagant! I've seen similar houses in the Slovakian Tatra mountains. Oh, and Russian churches are just spectacular!
Is it weird that I watch your videos when I need inspiration to be productive with my schoolwork? I think when I watch these videos I’m like “wow this girl is so cool and smart, I wish I could do and make cool things like her” haha. In other words, I love you and your videos ❤️ спасибо большое! I hope you know how great you are!
Good to hear construction workers there love making noise while trying to film. That happens everywhere. I love learning more about Russian history and placing in the world timeline. About the same time Ivan the Terrible was doing his thing, Elizabeth Queen of England was doing hers. As was William Shakespeare and also the Spanish Armada. It was a good time for history, maybe not so much if you were poor or working class. Lol
It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm likewise a substantial follower of this channel and I likewise make vlogs concerning life in Russia.

The sun shines differently in Russia. I'm from NY and can always tell when something is filmed near NY just by the way the sun shines. Moscow has some beautiful and very unique sun shine 🌞
I think it's the clouds. Usually a very shallow layer of convective clouds in the warm months. I think it comes from less water vapor in the atmosphere over Moscow due to the distance to nearest seas. New York has marine air more often than people realize because the weather systems rotate meaning a lot of southerly winds with even with a generally western circulation.

I like this video from you. Even if its somewhat "tourist" version of old Russia it is super cool and interesting that you show different places in Russia. Ha ha, I think the word you might have been looking for was preserves (jelly, jam, canned vegetables)?
"Conserves" is another word for what we in the UK call "jam" (or "jelly" in the US) so that might have been the word the delightful Natasha was thinking of.
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
Great video and I really a lot from it. Even though it's a park now it does give you an idea what life was like in villages like this hundreds of years ago. Thank you for the video!
Natasha, at the beginning you mentioned getting a new car...I was LIke"Oh my God...she got a car...lol...you fooled me again...LOL...sending you good wishes from Canada....BTW...i subscribed to Dari's channel like you asked!
Wow, that izba is incredibly inspiring for an off-grid cabin I want to construct. I plan to make a sleeping-on-heater setup myself. That wood trim is gorgeous. Just wow.
We have one in Northern California! It's Fort Ross, near the Russian River. The furthest outpost of Russian imperialism. Near there is a really cool Russian restaurant/ cultural center. Run by volunteers, and pay for your meal is "suggested donation" for an all you can eat Russian spread 🇷🇺🪆🍗🍞
You chose such a gorgeous day to film this! The sky is amazing and the colors of the landscape and buildings are quite beautiful. Is it common for music on the radio to have lyrics in English? I keep hearing English-sounding songs in the background of your videos, and it surprises me.
I read many of the comments and noticed the word "Preserves". American English is changing In reference to canned goods, especially home canned goods. I am old and have preserved many foods with Grandma, Mom, Wife, and now my dogs as a widower (mostly cook & freeze, namely Freezer Jam). Some of what I saw in your video could be called "Potted" or "Jugged" as in Jugged Hare. Fruits or meats that are preserved whole are often called "Potted" or "Jugged". If the meat or fruit is deboned or cored only, it is often called canned. If the fruit is cooked down with it's skin, seeds, pulp, and juice, this is often called preserves. Jam would have pulp and juice with no seed or skin. Jelly would be made from juice with either added pectin or natural pectin. Marketing in stores is now referring to something called simply fruit, and meats are canned, dried, frozen, freeze dried, smoked, pickled, jerked... You had a lot of different things going on in those jars. They were fun for me and bring back many happy memories. Thank you. I am happy like a kid when I get notice of a new video from you.
Wow, that is so cool that your family did/does so much preserving and that you know so many ways to do it. In Russia only fruits and vegetables are preserved nowadays - as "varenye" - means "boiled" whole or roughly cut fruits/berries with sugar, or "povidlo" - same, but the mass is blended into homogeneous mass. Cucumbers can be either pickled or salted, the rest (tomatoes, aubergines, zucchinis) is primarily pickled in vinegar.
@@SovietMoviesExplained Salted or brined veggies are still done by some here in Idaho USA, but my favorite is large beans, Fava Beans or Horse Beans, pickled with vinegar, salt, and sugar. To eat them you break the husk with your front teeth and pinch the inside of the bean into your mouth. They taste like vegetarian egg yolks with a sweet Tangy sauce. If you have Favas but don't want the bother, cook them, cool them, serve them in Olive Oil, red wine vinegar and sugar and eat as above. Very Good Snack. It's not Soviet, but have you seen the movie T-34? Great film. Great story. Thanks
@@boscoboasdad6562 Mmm, sounds delicious. Can these beans be found in other states except Idaho? I doubt I'll go there anytime soon, but I might visit NY and CA as soon as they reopen for Europe. I haven't watched T-34 (not a fan of WWI-WWII movies in general), but I've read that itwss heavily criticised for its screenplay and characters (as are most modern Russian war films). It's not that individual NKVD-members couldn't be evil, Nazi officers - honorable, or the main character - extremely lucky carefree and drinking. But when these character traits transfer from movie to movie, to movie... one starts questioning things...
@@SovietMoviesExplained Definitely Favas can be found in California or anywhere Portuguese People live. The bean may have originated in the Azores, at least the best large size (50 cent size) come from the Azores. Horse Beans may just be Lima Beans but big ones. I just got home from a 12 hour shift, so my understanding is a bit off when it comes to your critique of war movies. I mostly just like many Russian things. Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, and the Idiot by Dostoevsky. I'm fascinated and traumatized by The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. I have a silver clad Russian drinking horn, and something you might like for sure, a beautiful 24% cut lead crystal bowl made in the Soviet Union. It was a wedding present and still sits on our kitchen table 37 years after we received it. As for T - 34 it is popular on RUclips and it is a love story. Sorry, I can't think and need to sleep. Your comments are fun for me and I will re-read them later. Thank you
@@boscoboasdad6562 , haha, I guess, the drinking horn is not Russian, but Georgian or Armenian, but we still might treat souvenirs from ex-Soviet republics as "ours". As for crystal bowl, that was a valuable gift indeed - in late Soviet times a family was not considered well off unless it had a set of crystal glasses on their sideboard.
Feeling much smarter and well distracted, from your videos, enjoy seeing and learning the unknown areas of your homeland.... things we never learned in school. Thanks
i just discovered i missed a lot of your latest videos because i keep them as a treat to watch later and was so busy i didn't find the time. Today i was supposed to see my best friend but it's been postponed to tomorrow because of a snowstorm so i finally got the time to sit and watch. YAY 🧡❄️☕️👍🤗
It would be great to know your opinion. I'm also a substantial follower of this channel and I also make videos to do with life in Russia. However the youtube algorithm has not been as great to me yet. Almost everybody that enjoys my content says that it is excellent, however very few are able to see it. Can you be completely truthful and inform me just how I can improve the content? I value your truthful point of view.
I really like those beautiful log homes. Old log cabins here in Canada tend to be very basic with no ornamentation and carvings like that. Another great video!
These carvings are common in the rural areas of Eastern Europe. Most homes were built with only wood. They are surrounded by wood fencing which would make privacy fences in the West seem tiny. Often the are embellished with carvings into them or have wooden carvings added to them. We were able to visit some wood carvers who use traditional tools to make the ornamentation.
@@MasterMalrubius That's interesting. I should look into how they made those carvings as well. I have an old log cabin on a property that I hope to restore some day and it would be fun to give it a little Slavic flair.
@@ИннаШерифа you're right, of course this is just a museum and I have no illusions about the sad state of affairs in modern Russian villages. The traditional Russian woodworking style is very beautiful though.
As always your videos are magnificent and this park looks like amazing, but I must say that it is a such pity that countryside sites are abandoned. Russian young poeople should understand that cattle breeding and agriculture is a great opportunity for them in terms of work and also for Russian economy growth. Here in Italy a lot of young people return to work in agriculture both in the planes and also in mountainous places even if it costs sacrifice. Thank you for this video
Alas, now this niche has been occupied by huge mechanized complexes that serve several people. Their products are much cheaper than farm products, so villages are dying out. Only old people and those who love nature and have some additional income remain in the village.
I recommend that anyone who hasn't checked out Dari's channel should take a look. She's been to interesting places and made great videos about her travels. Also interesting local Russian stuff. "Dari Step" is her channel.
Magnificent village, cool and a great tourist tour to visit this historic resort. I liked everything, congratulations! Always beautiful and polite. Brazil was the only country in the Americas that had a King and the entire imperial court came to live in Brazil, why? The French Napoleon Bonaparte decided to annex Portugal to France. Today there are in Brazil several Castles from that time created by the Portuguese King to come to live in the country; the city of Petropolis was the home of the Brazilian imperial family, its castles are now beautiful History Museums. Abstract: The greatness of Brazil's land and natural resources plus the desire for revenge against the French; the King of Brazil and Portugal created one of the largest maritime fleets in America - England, France and Spain were expelled from Brazilian territories by the King - Brazil was the size of Japan but the revenge and ambition of the empire made Brazil the size and shape current; the country fits 115 countries or the whole of Europe. Excluding Alaska, the Caribbean Islands and Hawaii, the United States is 27% smaller than Brazil... The King betrayed him, never take a man's house or ride his bicycle... Quote of the King: Cut off those heads damn you! Kisses and hugs, Cláudio_Brasil - God light up your life! Amen. 👍👍👍💋💋💋🤞🤞🤞☕☕☕☕☕💖💖💖💖🔒🔒💖💖💖💖💡💡💡💡👍👍👍👍
A masterpiece Natasha. I'll never forget some of the country I have seen in Russia such as the Smolenck region. It's nature is just grand on a huge scale. I've never been farther east than Novosibirsk and that was in February and it was -54.
Another interesting video, thsnks I'm pretty sure the word you were looking for is not would have worked in french but it's more for canned or sterilised food in sealed container. Preserve is for fruits cooked with sugar and put in jar. I would love to learn russian one day, maybe I'll be has good as you in english :) Cheers from the great white north , Canada
A quick trip to Google Translate shows the Russian word for "preservatives" (jams, jellies, etc.) is "konservanty." I think that's where the confusion came from!
@@eaterdrinker000 Yeah. I'm German and for us canned food is "Konserven" so I had a rough idea where the mix up came from. I had a good laugh and I guess Mrs Yeah Russia too
Actually there would be no need for that for many yeas to come - this model "Zhiguli 7" is still mass produced and dominates the roads of regional cities. 👌
Seems like a pretty chill village- are those cabins for rent like an AirBnB? Just wondering if it’s possible or easy for westerners to stay there for a holiday or something
yes, absolutely. Such parks are a popular weekend destination for families - city kids can pet farm animals and ride ponies or do some traditional crafts, while their parents relax fishing or grilling. Usually there is also a trip to russian sauna - banya. I think, you can Google the park's name or just "этно парк" (ethno park) / "этно ферма" (ethno farm) 😉 Jusy don't expect the amenities to be authentic and to sleep on the oven 🤣🤣🤣 (and you wouldn't really want that)
The narration, the music, and the seamless placement of different footages made atmosphere of this vlog is so cozy. Well done! Although it is no representation of modern Russian villages, this park is really immersive and takes one back to the time of Pre-Petrine Russia. No wonder the Slavophile writers depicted such era with great nostalgia.
the wood work is so impressive. i like how they are notched into each other.
yeah, there were/are many impressive woodwork techniques.
Some wooden houses or churches claim to be built "without the use of a single nail"
excellent video. As someone from the farmland state of Iowa in the US, I appreciate seeing what Russia is like.
I love the big old rural spaces. So green. She takes great pictures of the streams and rivers. ❤️
It is not real Russia 🤣

Being from the United States, we are not educated all that well on the sites of Europe and Russian but I love the window trimming as it reminds me of something someone would see in Germany or perhaps Holland. It is also nice to see that the areas there are not so different than here and that nature is beautiful everywhere.
I hope people watch more of these videos to see that we are all the same people and that there is so much beauty in the world.
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
It would seem that Americans don’t know much about many other parts of the world.
That is something that should change.
So? Do you think they're educated about the US and North America??? Its normal for people to know the most about their own country or region. Its not like there arent libraries, internet and college courses if you want to study it more or better yet, airports!
@@dannielz6 Yes they are more educated about the US and North America than we are of their area of the world, by far.
Thank you for the visit to the Moscow countryside. I wish I could find any other youtubers who could do such a great job of presenting the subject. I feel more like I walked around the farm with you than like I watched a video. Its so much more interesting the way you do it.
Have you seen Dari Step’s videos? She’s a native Moscovite. She’s traveled extensively in Russia and Europe and Natasha is only beginning to document things beyond Far Eastern Russia. Its a huge country and she has barely scratched the surface.
Thank you once again Natasha. You're doing a great job with your videos.
What a nice evening to spend with you Natasha and the neat places you visit.
Your voice helps with quietness of the park. Stay well, safe & have a good week ahead.
Well done, nothing wrong with having a tourist area to remind people of their past. Seemed pretty quiet. A study in history convenient for the modern person
i like the voice over with the music in the background. the mix sounds good. always a pleasure being notified for a new natasha video. go russia!
Nice farm. Thank you Natasha for being so honest. I agree such farms are a rarity in modern Russia. Hey but you should have driven a tractor or something :) Come on you're on a farm so its time to roll up your sleeves & get your hands dirty haha
Она экзамены на права еле сдала, какой ей трактор? Еще снесёт с перепугу какой-нибудь свинарник, или коровник, и хорошо, если без жертв обойдется и не посадят, можно будет потом полжизни донаты на ю-тубе выпрашивать, чтобы возместить ущерб.
get your hands cummy! as they say in Los Angeles! haha! entertainment is a fun business!
I believe you are underestimating the powers of the 1082 Lada. Anything you can imagine can be made possible with this amazing vehicle.
@@olgert75 rude!
Thank you, Natasha. That was a great visit. I had fun following along with you!🙂
"She's like... 'I'm a lonely chick ..'" :D:D Sometimes talking to animals is actually worthier than talking to people :D I'd been sure about that in many occasions :) Definitely I'm interested in seeing more animal interviews by Natasha :)
She's awesome 😍❤
She has some one holding the camera in a few shots. So that is either a companion or a local.
You do an excellent job with your narrations!
Excellent video quality and photography. Videos getting better and better.
Btw, "Ostrov" means "island" in Russian.
It is nice to see such neat recreational parks that attract tourists and draw attention to historical locations.
I see that this park is more focused on recreation, yet there are lots of parks in Central Russia that display authentic wooden houses and structures from different regions and different eras.
They are usually called "музей деревянного зодчества" - "museum of woodworking".
I know several in Suzdal, near Velikij Novgorod and Kizhi.
Definitely worth visiting (albeit in summer months only) 👌
What is that book at 8:08? At least it looks like a book to me.
@@stanstenson8168, I think it's a "book sculpture" - the park's name "Ostrov" is carved from the pages
@@SovietMoviesExplained Thank you for the answer. I thought it was way cool.
I have a friend named Ostrovsky, so I guess his family were islanders? I also saw Kilitta is a Russian name. There is a cargo airline in the US called Kilitta Airlines. They fly 747's.
@@AndrewTubbiolo, yep "Ostrovsky" is a very Russian-sounding and noble surname. There is a famous 19th century playwright of that name . You might try to surprise your friend with this knowledge 😉
However, the origins of surnames are usually hard to trace. Usually they referred to either the profession - Kuznetsov aka Smith, owner or father - Ivanov aka "of Ivan", or place of origin - Ostrov as either a village like this one (exactly THE one), or a real island.
As for second surname, doesn't sound Russian to me 🤔
Those wooden houses reminds me strongly of rural Scandinavia. Sometimes people even grow grass on the roof there.
Yeah, this green roofs really fit nature and create "Hobbit" mood, in my opinion. I don't know, why our russian izba's were build in different way. Maybe this "live roofs" aren't durable enough? Roots demolish wood protection and water start to pouring through the small holes, for example
Natasha you have an eye for video shots and your narration is great. Even though i followed you for your unique origin from the Far East you still entertain with topics on rural Moscow.
Hello my friend nice imformation , thank you for this sharing..👋🤝🙏👏
It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm additionally a massive follower of this channel and I additionally create videos with regards to life in Russia. Sadly the youtube algorithm has actually not been as great to me yet. Practically anyone who watches my channel states that it is very good, unfortunately few get to watch it. Can you be extremely honest and inform me just how I can make better videos? I value your sincere viewpoint.
Awesome Sunday!!! First, a new video by Dari Step and now, a new video by Yeah Russia!!! 🍁🍂 Keep going Natasha, you’re doing an excellent job!!
Very nice video. Thanks for taking us along for the walk
Very nice Natasha. This was a wonderful journey to the past. Similarly, we have Beamish Museum here in Northeren England, which recreates a slice of living and working in the years before World War I.
Russia is a poverty stricken nation, there are so many villages look like World War 1, and are living like in World War 1. Of course, we are very glad that our super power richest strongest Putin-God like nation can attract such love, especially when a daughter of a corrupt ****ing system is making videos to appease fellow European "partners" with our State of the Art living that has no Analogues in the World! xD
@@tomasgogashvily5350 what the fuck?!
All that open space is refreshing. Those valleys are scenic and beautiful. Plus, the ancient Cathedral and the antique wooden houses make us feel like we are traveling back in time hundreds of years. Oftentimes, city dwellers forget that all their food comes from places like this. I'd bet there is a lot less traffic there than there is in downtown Moscow. The video was also very educational. Thanks for sharing such a nice film!
First of all, love your sweet voice, it's so soothing and gentle. You could read fairytales for children. Second, the narration it's great. The views are pretty cool. I remember I went to an old complex of cabins in the outskirts of Moscow in 2010. They had this old style houses with decorations in their windows. And one huge Banya which my gf and I used. It had a really cold indoors pool. It was cool to submerge in the gelid waters.
Hey there's so many cats in the video. Some seemed to come out of the church, were they religious? Another thing is that I have the impression this picture of you in the old wrecked carriage I've seen before.
It has certain melancholy to know how things pass. That old town is just an amusement park. It's the same in the US. Old towns are gone, they are also amusement parks.
History pass the pages unadvertedly
Well, I'm sure it's not the entire town! It's just a small park near a historical church to attract tourists and bring money in.
Ostrov's city centre looks quite modern.
She should read the Baba Yaga tales lol
I hope you enjoyed you day out in the country suburbs of Moscow. It looks very relaxing there! I could be completely happy living in a small farmhouse in such a place, with a vegetable garden, some chickens, and some fruit trees perhaps. Thank you for sharing your stories and adventures here with us, Natasha! Stay safe, healthy and happy!
The farm is no longer a farm this is a recreational park as you stated. A real nice way to experience older building and such, one has to go to the country away from the cities. But in this video we get gain a sense of what it was like is the old farm house. I have read quite a bit about these old Russian farm house but it is rare to see in one. Thanks for showing us around.
It looks like they take good care of that recreation park . They have lots of young trees planted now for the future . Oh those jars of fruit conserves - also called jam or jelly in English.
Thankyou for this video. The heritage park you featured is not unlike those we have here in Canada. In fact, the arrangement of exhibits are almost exactly the same as those in Fort Steele, British Columbia. I loved this video. Keep doing more of these, and the sound quality over time I am sure will get better and better.
Hi Natasha. Your video is very heartwarming and you have a charming way of expressing your ideas with wit and humor. From the selection of music that accompany the video shots of the countryside, to the historical buildings and historic windmill, to your keen observations and camerawork - you deliver very powerful material for consumption by any inquisitive mind including mine. Thank you for educating me about your lovely country and peaceful countryside that offers such a calming effect on the heart.
You're just getting better and better every day ... videography, editing, music - and your voice - do not underestimate your voice - there's an honest quality to your voice narrations which cannot be overlooked and it plays a huge part in the appeal of your videos. Nicely done my dear, nicely done.
In some ways She brings the same combination of intellectual history and insight as a Russian to her homeland that makes Rick Steve's on PBS so interesting. I have really enjoyed her videos.
@@andrewzwick2285 I agree totally!
A lot of your videos have an underlying theme about you trying to figure out 'How to live a worthwhile life' I find this very interesting.
“I got scared” 😂 the roster was claiming you and the other roster said back away fast. Ps nice vehicle Natasha Claus. I like these places you take us. The church/ sawmill 😜 and the wind mill looked so beautiful. I would have loved to grow up in an old village. Nothing wrong with modern cities just my preference. This was interesting and great job on the music choice made me smile.

hello it is spelt Rooster in English all the best
@@tykehotep2865 you put your pipe down to type that reply. : ) Wow I like helping people get off the pipe even for moments at a time. Great job friend. Baby steps
Haha - and in England, roosters are called 'cockerels'!😆
@@tykehotep2865 no one cares...
A very nice video! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. This area looks a lot like areas with Dachas. We could never afford a Dacha (summer home), but had friends who had 2nd homes. Still have friends who live 5-10 KM out from Moscow, they commute to work.
Loved this traditional farm, park, farm animals, etc. Love how Moscow is setup with the ringed road systems. Not hard to get out of city and into more rural green space. Many don't know that Moscow has huge green spaces set aside for recreation, even in the heart of city.
Nothing says 'Russia' better than the traditional architecture; log buildings, and golden onion domes on top of churches. Even the background music is traditional Russian Folk Music, which I really enjoy. Did you know that Russian Roosters are bilingual??? They speak 'chicken' and Russian. If they want handouts from visitors, they have to ask in Russian... really - LOL.
I trust you are well my friend. Thank you again for your wonderful videos.
My favourite moment when an accent can change meaning- when at 3:02 Natasha greets a couple of roosters with "Hello, roasters". I thought, wow, that's really harsh confronting the birds with their eventual fate like that. Then I thought for a second... 😉
Natasha, many thanks for your informative video. The majority of the viewers will have no idea how difficult it is to create such video. Your editing skills have substantially improved so that the transitions were very well selected and in many shots there was action (roosters) Also the “documentary” voice was pleasant and no signs that you were reading it from paper. The traditional music was very well chosen for this subject. It all gives us a good idea of the subject which you would bring to our attention
Hello! I''ve just launched my channel about life in Russian villages and towns. If you're interested, welcome to watch my video about old Cossacks' village. ;-)
Hello Natasha!! I loved this video! Interesting to see a farm from the past and Russian history. I loved the scenery, too! Thank you for everything you do, see you soon!
We have a similar place in Northern California! It's Fort Ross, near the Russian River. The furthest outpost of Russian imperialism. Near there is a really cool Russian restaurant/ cultural center. Run by volunteers, and pay for your meal is "suggested donation" for an all you can eat Russian spread 🇷🇺🪆🍗🍞
My family used vacation in Rio Nido from time to time. I was very young, but I remember there were small cottages amongst the redwoods. Very beautiful area, but prone to flooding.
There's a cool vlog on yt by History Hunters!👍🏼
I really enjoy watching all of your video thank you for sharing your life and adventures with us all the best to you and your family🙂
Thank you! Nicely done ✅ I have learned many interesting things about Russia ! Peace!
Natasha you should win the prize for "Cutest videos on the Tube". The soft spoken voice-overs are even becoming more and more ASMR-ish XD
Maybe the word you were tying to find was "preserves"? Like jam, or jelly.
Thank you for a great video. I always enjoy watching and learning 😁
250,000 subs soon!
Thank you, I could not think of the word! 🍯
"Conserves" has a very similar meaning to preserves, though it isn't used much anymore, so she was still pretty close.
The word is 'conserves'
A quick trip to Google Translate shows the Russian word for "preservatives" (jams, jellies, etc.) is "konservanty." I think that's where the confusion came from!
Got to be careful with the word "preserves". In German a Präservativ is a condom, which is презерватив in Russian. It's like never saying rubber in America when you mean eraser.
Delightful and charming glimpse into the traditional Russian lifestyle. Made me want to go right over to watch a video from Otaba Yo! Looking forward to more
Incidentally I appreciated your poignant perspective on how people are fleeing the countryside in search of work, education and medical care. It's much the same here in the US though to be sure we don't have such charming and ancient villages and churches. Never the less; more and more people are returning to the countryside; fleeing the urban life and its tension and realizing that the relaxed traditional life in the rural regions has an undeniable quality worth saving and cherishing. Modern transportation and telecommunications are making it possible and I have no doubt small rural communities will return...and I hope to visit them someday. Cheers.
If you're going to be a soviet explorer, you need to love the Lada.
I generally hate cars. But, aside from wanting old American cars. I'd love to have a soviet Lada..

What a good way to finish a weekend, enjoying Natalia's beauty and her amazing content from a far away and beautiful country.
I too can admit that I have a crush on Natasha! Her looks are rather unique, but her facial features sometimes give off strong St. Vincent (Annie Clark) vibes: angular and elegant, even without makeup.
Is her name Natalia? I thought she called herself Natasha.
@@SuperLittleTyke in Russian: Natalia - Natasha, in English: Katherine - Katy, Thomas - Tom, you get it?
@@SuperLittleTyke I think in Russia Natasha is like a diminutive of Natalia, like Tony and Antony I guess.

I always find Eastern European wooden houses so curious.
I'm English, and historically wood was in demand for ships, so old houses here are stone/brick or wood framed with earth/clay infill.
To see entire houses made of whole logs is just extravagant!
I've seen similar houses in the Slovakian Tatra mountains.
Oh, and Russian churches are just spectacular!
Is it weird that I watch your videos when I need inspiration to be productive with my schoolwork? I think when I watch these videos I’m like “wow this girl is so cool and smart, I wish I could do and make cool things like her” haha. In other words, I love you and your videos ❤️ спасибо большое! I hope you know how great you are!
Thank you 😊 Good luck with your schoolwork!
Good to hear construction workers there love making noise while trying to film. That happens everywhere.
I love learning more about Russian history and placing in the world timeline. About the same time Ivan the Terrible was doing his thing, Elizabeth Queen of England was doing hers. As was William Shakespeare and also the Spanish Armada. It was a good time for history, maybe not so much if you were poor or working class. Lol

The sun shines differently in Russia. I'm from NY and can always tell when something is filmed near NY just by the way the sun shines. Moscow has some beautiful and very unique sun shine 🌞
I think it's the clouds. Usually a very shallow layer of convective clouds in the warm months. I think it comes from less water vapor in the atmosphere over Moscow due to the distance to nearest seas. New York has marine air more often than people realize because the weather systems rotate meaning a lot of southerly winds with even with a generally western circulation.
It is a very pretty place. thanks for sharing

I like this video from you. Even if its somewhat "tourist" version of old Russia it is super cool and interesting that you show different places in Russia. Ha ha, I think the word you might have been looking for was preserves (jelly, jam, canned vegetables)?
Uh-huh, false friends may confuse even a proficient speaker, as we call condoms "preservativy"
"Conserves" is another word for what we in the UK call "jam" (or "jelly" in the US) so that might have been the word the delightful Natasha was thinking of.

Wow, that izba is incredibly inspiring for an off-grid cabin I want to construct. I plan to make a sleeping-on-heater setup myself. That wood trim is gorgeous. Just wow.
Thanks for including the lively scrappy chickens. They are outdoors and healthy.
We have a lot of places like that in Canada. Many based on the Russian culture.
We have one in Northern California! It's Fort Ross, near the Russian River. The furthest outpost of Russian imperialism. Near there is a really cool Russian restaurant/ cultural center. Run by volunteers, and pay for your meal is "suggested donation" for an all you can eat Russian spread 🇷🇺🪆🍗🍞
Very nice 👍 to see you today in your video, Natasha. Very nice 👌 video.
You chose such a gorgeous day to film this! The sky is amazing and the colors of the landscape and buildings are quite beautiful.
Is it common for music on the radio to have lyrics in English? I keep hearing English-sounding songs in the background of your videos, and it surprises me.
And this again I love your channel. So calm while watching it keep on going your channel my friend
I read many of the comments and noticed the word "Preserves". American English is changing In reference to canned goods, especially home canned goods.
I am old and have preserved many foods with Grandma, Mom, Wife, and now my dogs as a widower (mostly cook & freeze, namely Freezer Jam). Some of what I saw in your video could be called "Potted" or "Jugged" as in Jugged Hare. Fruits or meats that are preserved whole are often called "Potted" or "Jugged". If the meat or fruit is deboned or cored only, it is often called canned. If the fruit is cooked down with it's skin, seeds, pulp, and juice, this is often called preserves. Jam would have pulp and juice with no seed or skin. Jelly would be made from juice with either added pectin or natural pectin. Marketing in stores is now referring to something called simply fruit, and meats are canned, dried, frozen, freeze dried, smoked, pickled, jerked...
You had a lot of different things going on in those jars. They were fun for me and bring back many happy memories. Thank you.
I am happy like a kid when I get notice of a new video from you.
Wow, that is so cool that your family did/does so much preserving and that you know so many ways to do it.
In Russia only fruits and vegetables are preserved nowadays - as "varenye" - means "boiled" whole or roughly cut fruits/berries with sugar, or "povidlo" - same, but the mass is blended into homogeneous mass.
Cucumbers can be either pickled or salted, the rest (tomatoes, aubergines, zucchinis) is primarily pickled in vinegar.
@@SovietMoviesExplained Salted or brined veggies are still done by some here in Idaho USA, but my favorite is large beans, Fava Beans or Horse Beans, pickled with vinegar, salt, and sugar. To eat them you break the husk with your front teeth and pinch the inside of the bean into your mouth. They taste like vegetarian egg yolks with a sweet Tangy sauce. If you have Favas but don't want the bother, cook them, cool them, serve them in Olive Oil, red wine vinegar and sugar and eat as above. Very Good Snack.
It's not Soviet, but have you seen the movie T-34? Great film. Great story. Thanks
@@boscoboasdad6562 Mmm, sounds delicious. Can these beans be found in other states except Idaho? I doubt I'll go there anytime soon, but I might visit NY and CA as soon as they reopen for Europe.
I haven't watched T-34 (not a fan of WWI-WWII movies in general), but I've read that itwss heavily criticised for its screenplay and characters (as are most modern Russian war films).
It's not that individual NKVD-members couldn't be evil, Nazi officers - honorable, or the main character - extremely lucky carefree and drinking.
But when these character traits transfer from movie to movie, to movie... one starts questioning things...
@@SovietMoviesExplained Definitely Favas can be found in California or anywhere Portuguese People live. The bean may have originated in the Azores, at least the best large size (50 cent size) come from the Azores. Horse Beans may just be Lima Beans but big ones.
I just got home from a 12 hour shift, so my understanding is a bit off when it comes to your critique of war movies. I mostly just like many Russian things. Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, and the Idiot by Dostoevsky. I'm fascinated and traumatized by The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. I have a silver clad Russian drinking horn, and something you might like for sure, a beautiful 24% cut lead crystal bowl made in the Soviet Union. It was a wedding present and still sits on our kitchen table 37 years after we received it.
As for T - 34 it is popular on RUclips and it is a love story.
Sorry, I can't think and need to sleep. Your comments are fun for me and I will re-read them later. Thank you
@@boscoboasdad6562 , haha, I guess, the drinking horn is not Russian, but Georgian or Armenian, but we still might treat souvenirs from ex-Soviet republics as "ours".
As for crystal bowl, that was a valuable gift indeed - in late Soviet times a family was not considered well off unless it had a set of crystal glasses on their sideboard.
Feeling much smarter and well distracted, from your videos, enjoy seeing and learning the unknown areas of your homeland.... things we never learned in school. Thanks
This must have been filmed a while back because there wouldn’t be leaves on the trees now..
i just discovered i missed a lot of your latest videos because i keep them as a treat to watch later and was so busy i didn't find the time. Today i was supposed to see my best friend but it's been postponed to tomorrow because of a snowstorm so i finally got the time to sit and watch. YAY 🧡❄️☕️👍🤗
Wonderful look into Russian history.
Nice video, thank you.
It would be great to know your opinion. I'm also a substantial follower of this channel and I also make videos to do with life in Russia.

I really like those beautiful log homes. Old log cabins here in Canada tend to be very basic with no ornamentation and carvings like that. Another great video!
These carvings are common in the rural areas of Eastern Europe. Most homes were built with only wood. They are surrounded by wood fencing which would make privacy fences in the West seem tiny. Often the are embellished with carvings into them or have wooden carvings added to them. We were able to visit some wood carvers who use traditional tools to make the ornamentation.
@@MasterMalrubius That's interesting. I should look into how they made those carvings as well. I have an old log cabin on a property that I hope to restore some day and it would be fun to give it a little Slavic flair.
It is all for show , for tourists . The reality is much gloomier
@@ИннаШерифа you're right, of course this is just a museum and I have no illusions about the sad state of affairs in modern Russian villages. The traditional Russian woodworking style is very beautiful though.
The farm looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and be safe.
As always your videos are magnificent and this park looks like amazing, but I must say that it is a such pity that countryside sites are abandoned. Russian young poeople should understand that cattle breeding and agriculture is a great opportunity for them in terms of work and also for Russian economy growth. Here in Italy a lot of young people return to work in agriculture both in the planes and also in mountainous places even if it costs sacrifice. Thank you for this video
Alas, now this niche has been occupied by huge mechanized complexes that serve several people. Their products are much cheaper than farm products, so villages are dying out. Only old people and those who love nature and have some additional income remain in the village.
Look forward to video of Natasha in Australia with Australian accent. 😁👍
I feel gypped, I read traditional Russian farm and thought, Natasha is going to pull a plow on video! Rofl, jokes aside, very nice episode, well done.
Such a great video 🤩I want to visit this farm as well, looks interesting!
Thank you Dari, I think you'd like it there!
I recommend that anyone who hasn't checked out Dari's channel should take a look. She's been to interesting places and made great videos about her travels. Also interesting local Russian stuff. "Dari Step" is her channel.
Magnificent village, cool and a great tourist tour to visit this historic resort. I liked everything, congratulations! Always beautiful and polite.
Brazil was the only country in the Americas that had a King and the entire imperial court came to live in Brazil, why? The French Napoleon Bonaparte decided to annex Portugal to France. Today there are in Brazil several Castles from that time created by the Portuguese King to come to live in the country; the city of Petropolis was the home of the Brazilian imperial family, its castles are now beautiful History Museums.
Abstract: The greatness of Brazil's land and natural resources plus the desire for revenge against the French; the King of Brazil and Portugal created one of the largest maritime fleets in America - England, France and Spain were expelled from Brazilian territories by the King - Brazil was the size of Japan but the revenge and ambition of the empire made Brazil the size and shape current; the country fits 115 countries or the whole of Europe. Excluding Alaska, the Caribbean Islands and Hawaii, the United States is 27% smaller than Brazil... The King betrayed him, never take a man's house or ride his bicycle... Quote of the King: Cut off those heads damn you!
Kisses and hugs, Cláudio_Brasil - God light up your life! Amen. 👍👍👍💋💋💋🤞🤞🤞☕☕☕☕☕💖💖💖💖🔒🔒💖💖💖💖💡💡💡💡👍👍👍👍
Beautiful gardens. I love it! God bless you Natasha. 🙏
A masterpiece Natasha. I'll never forget some of the country I have seen in Russia such as the Smolenck region. It's nature is just grand on a huge scale. I've never been farther east than Novosibirsk and that was in February and it was -54.
Thank you for the pleasant trip to see the chickens etc at the recreated farm village by the old church. Nice way to start my day.
Another interesting video, thsnks
I'm pretty sure the word you were looking for is not
would have worked in french but it's more for canned or sterilised food in sealed container.
Preserve is for fruits cooked with sugar and put in jar.
I would love to learn russian one day, maybe I'll be has good as you in english :)
Cheers from the great white north , Canada
Conserve in English is right for what Natasha meant. Not sure what the difference is between conserve and preserve.
@@londonwestman1 No preservatives or conservatives were used in the making of this video.
@@londonwestman1 she wrote 'conservatives' not 'conserves'

@@eaterdrinker000 Yeah. I'm German and for us canned food is "Konserven" so I had a rough idea where the mix up came from. I had a good laugh and I guess Mrs Yeah Russia too
Pickled and jarred. Much better than in the white house.
I like the way you talk ,soft and gentle .
I wonder if they will preserve the Soviet lada's for future generations
Actually there would be no need for that for many yeas to come - this model "Zhiguli 7" is still mass produced and dominates the roads of regional cities. 👌
Very interesting look at old Russia. I injoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing.
Seems like a pretty chill village- are those cabins for rent like an AirBnB? Just wondering if it’s possible or easy for westerners to stay there for a holiday or something
yes, absolutely. Such parks are a popular weekend destination for families - city kids can pet farm animals and ride ponies or do some traditional crafts, while their parents relax fishing or grilling.
Usually there is also a trip to russian sauna - banya.
I think, you can Google the park's name or just "этно парк" (ethno park) / "этно ферма" (ethno farm) 😉
Jusy don't expect the amenities to be authentic and to sleep on the oven 🤣🤣🤣 (and you wouldn't really want that)
Thank you for this interesting educational video!
Canned vegetables and fruits "Conservatives" - No. The word you are looking for is preserves - not to be confused with Russian "Preservativa"
Yeah, the case of "translator's false friends" - In Russian it's "консервы" - conservy, "conserve" = "preserve" 😜
I love the part where you were just chilling in the sleigh! Again enjoyed today's video. In the States, we call that a farmer's market.
Your best video yet 👍. Great job all around, good shots, narrative & voice over perfect. Background music fit very nicely.
You are real.
And your content is real.
So remember, keep it real and don't get distracted with glitz and glitter!

I love your genuine, simple and beautiful videos, please don't change...
