    Hello again Elena, glad to see you are doing well. While I enjoy all of your videos, those showing the rural side of Russia are I believe special. Watching locals having a good time and some of the items they produce are wonderful. Anything special being planned for the summer months? Have fun and be safe.

    Privet Elena and thank you for posting your video. It was both depressing and beautiful in many respects, the countryside especially. I hadn't heard the term "gopnik" used for awhile, best to avoid them. The "carts" are called ATV's or All Terrain Vehicles, perfect for bad roads.

    Hi,.Elena. I am enjoying watching your videos about village life. It looks like beautiful nature. I don't find it depressing- it just seems similar to a lot of villages around the world which don't have a lot of industry nearby that is still in operation.

I do see beauty in these villages- the classic structures, the flowers and greenery, the natural food, etc. Perhaps it may get old in short time, but to visit for a day or even a week would be very gratifying. See you in your next video!

    Your presentation of your tour through this village did not leave me with any feeling of depression. Most villages and small towns have a similar air of quiet simplicity. Theses are the places where the real people live.
    The vision of the horses running freely through the open spaces of the village was a comforting snap shot of daily life there.
    Altogether, your observations and impressions gave us the feeling of what daily life in rural Bashkiria is like.

    I really enjoyed the videos of your visit to the area during the summer, so it was great to get to revisit it. To me, the town was not depressing at all but rather charming, and it seemed like such a lively place. It was quite refreshing to see folks of all ages there, because one often hears of Russian villages being only old folks' homes at this point. And a what a beautiful setting with the greenery, flowers, and mountains in the background. You really could not have picked a nicer day to film. These are the kinds of places I like to try to visit when I travel abroad! (They can be hard to find though.)

    I love it when you are doing narration while you are exploring these places. Your discovery seeing things the first time is shared with your audience. My son lives in Birmingham. Like this village, it was founded in their location because of proximity to iron ore, limestone and coal. All are necessary to produce iron. Your videos have a way of sharing your exploring. Way to go, very cool.

    I would not call it a depressing village, but rather a remote village. Many villages in other countries and also located off the beaten track have abandoned houses and closed factories. It's interesting for us to see how this looks in a remote part of Russia, and how people manage to live there.
    Such small iron works cannot compete against large scale industrial plants. In Germany or Belgium, they have turned much larger factories into museums. Look for example at "World Heritage Site Völklinger Hütte". That wheel you admired was most likely a part of the blower plant that blows air into the furnace to melt the iron.

    • @elenastravels
      @elenastravels  Год назад +1

      Maybe you're right! I haven't been to many villages abroad...
      Interesting about the wheel! It could be part of the blower plant, but for some reason it was written next to the monument that it's dedicated to the first railroad... I'll look into it!

    I thought I felt some feelings of you missing the city. Maybe pangs of "homesickness"?

    Industrial heritage can be quite a big draw if it is developed.
