Thank you for watching 🤗 📍 More videos from Perm city: ruclips.net/video/Zsi3Naelsyw/видео.html - Life in a provincial Russian town in the Urals | Perm ruclips.net/video/IbQLUhQ2sUE/видео.html - Day in the life during winter in the Urals of Russia. What do we wear outside?
10:29 good on ya for going to the 'dangerous' area of the Breznikovsky Sodovy Zavod JSC waste plant. We are now experts on Berezniki, Perm Region🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😄
I am born and raised in Canada with English heritage. Roast-beef, Yorkshire Pudding and thick gravy every Sunday, yet not versed in everything 'old world'. Later, while work-travelling around England in the 90s, I was passing through a small town (by bicycle) and stopped at a street corner to ask an elder home-owner for a glass of water. She proceeded to invite me in for the water, some toast and to talk. After drinking half a glass of iced-water, I thanked her for the toast she offered and took a bite. Mein Gott! did she spread IODINE on the bread? No - it was Marmite... The kind old Lady laughed at the face I was making while I apologized for saying the Marmite tasted worse than medicine to me. We talked about Marmite, Peanut Butter, Cultural differences and changing times. She asked me where I had been and where I was going. Having just left Cambridge and heading south towards London, I had no clue where I was headed, but England was mine for the taking. I ended up in Bournemouth for over a year's worth of Life Experience only Travelling can teach... Eli, come to Canada. Respect :)
@@PaPyRene The mining town of Kiruna, in Sweden, is also sinking. Yes, 20 years of the US Wolfowitz/Bush doctrine: 4.5 million deaths in post 9/11 war zones more than 38 million people displaced. Two thirds of the world sanctioned. Only difference is that now a belligerent US isn't dealing with a soft target. It's dealing with a nuclear power in a multipolar world.
Such a natural, likeable, sincere, and accomplished young lady. You're an example of how humankind should interact with each other. Gold star for you, Eli.
In the end, the quality of a RUclips channel depends on the depth of character, personality, intelligence, and values of its creator. There is no doubt in my mind that "Eli From Russia" is a winner by any measure, because of who Eli is. This is one of my favorite channels.
Nobody ever said such words to me, thank you so much 🥹🙏🏻 I am so glad to hear this and I hope to bring more value with my channel with every future video
@ElifromRussia I totally agree with the above comment. I understand your moment, after making your dreams come true, but, to me, you should keep on doing the excellent job you're doing with your YT channel... at least, I hope you'll do! 😊
@@ElifromRussiaEli, Berezniki had it's sport legends: olimpic #2 Vladimir Sel'kov(swimming) ;world chanp. Batutist Dima Polyaruish, world champ winter swimmer Lena Guseva (Guinness record holder); World champ.para olimpian taekwando Krichfaluisha... Fantastic academic heritages: Physics-Mathematics school #3 created by V.V.Efimov(w multiple World Olympics winners)...so...maybe next time then?
This was fascinating definitely not boring. I'm looking forward to seeing the different cultures of the Urals. Russia is such a vast place so many different cultures that most of us never get to know about.
Dear Eli My wive and I would have loved to explore Russia. Sadly it looks like we might not achieve this during our lifetime. All the more it is important to keep the outside world informed about the good Russia of honest, hard working people, trying to make it work for their families. You have a very special talent to tell such stories and we enjoy your posts very much. It might not seem very important to you, but you are an ambassador of goodwil for the Russian people abroad. Thank you for your great work, take care and keep up your positive spirit! All the best- Laura & Michael
Your videos give me hope! I am from the United States. I am so worried about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia & about the possibility of other countries fighting. I see your beautiful land and people in your videos and want to learn more about Russian culture. I want all countries to be at peace with one another, so our children can grow happy & free & have the best chance at life! We are all people, no matter where we live. We all need & want the same things. Praying for the world - for Russia, Ukraine, America, Australia, China…for every soul! Thanks Eli from Russia! Love from America! 💕🙏🏼😇 P.S. I would be afraid to go to the sinking city!
@@frontgrad I agree with you totally, the US elites are to blame, but it is still a cruel comment, because this human just wants peace for everybody. Everybody means everybody. Please note that not everybody in the west is so ignorant as not to understand what lead to this conflict and who is actually to blame for it. We, the ordinary people, ALL want to live in peace and mind our own business, and I am sure that we are capable of living in peace together. But as long as there are so many brainwashed helpers for the almighty evil creatures on this earth we will not get our peace.
Your videos help people understand the biggest country in the world, so much of which is off any tourist trail. i particularly like hearing people speaking Russian with the translation sub-titled - much better than overdubbing.
Given the fact that Russia is so gigantic, I´d say just keep exploring the country. I´ve heard there are some really bizzare, scary, unexplainable places, buildings, mountains etc. If I lived in Russia, I guess I´d travel non-stop 🙂
I lived in Berezniki for 6 years and I really didn’t feel danger there. You just live your life. There are a lot of unique and smart people there, and I like them very much. However, I felt the same, Eli. Maybe because of this feeling I left the city. Sometimes I come back to visit my family. And, unfortunately, over the years the city becomes sadly.
no matter what- you do such an great job, bringing us russia and more places closer- im so happy to have found you here on youtube !!! you are brave and courious ! and it's sometimes even good to be without a plan- don't stress yourself please !
It is always lovely to see your adventures Eli no matter the destination your perspective and insights are wholesome and informative. Thank you for being true to yourself and expressing what's dear to you, bless you much love.
I love the children! ❤️💙They’re both sooooo cute. Your niece is so red bless her. They both have beautiful smiles. Watching this has cheered me up no end. Thank you so much for sharing Eli. Thank you so much for continuing to show that every day Russian people and Russian life is just like everywhere else.
@fermatichebellosei1595 I recommend watching the RUclips channel of one large Australian family who moved to Russia in the Altai. Ask yourself why more and more English-speaking people are moving to Russia, and not vice versa. And over time, this trend will only grow.
Eli, heartfelt congratulations on all that you've achieved and everywhere that you've travelled to. This video didn't come across as boring or depressing in any way. We all find ourselves a bit lost at times and usually, IME, the answer of what choice to make or what to do next presents itself, if you have an open mind. Well done you for vocalising what you were struggling with and for asking for help. Having over half a million subscribers is amazing and it shows that your content is valuable to many, many people. I grew up during the Cold War and films like Threads, which showed the aftermath of nuclear war in the UK cast a shadow over our formative years. For all of my life, the USSR and now the CIS and particularly Russia has been depicted as the enemy and the source of what was bad in the world because of the many proxy wars fought between East and West. I'm in the UK (currently) and we know that there are many sides to Russia and not just the extremes that we see in the media. I've watched a few RUclips channels, presented by Russians, about Russia and I believe that yours is the best by far. As a viewer, I never know what to expect, so everything is a surprise, extremely well presented and offers a window into ordinary Russian society and the Russian people, that we would otherwise never see. My sense is that you seek to show the subject of your vlogs as they are. Without bias nor embellishment and you achieve this brilliantly. What you show perfectly is that we humans are all pretty much the same, the world over. We have the same hopes and fears. The same challenges as we progress through life. The same dreams for ourselves and the generations that follow us. One of the things that depresses me most. Is the incalculable waste of resources, lives and time that have gone into conflict between nations. What you do, helps to lessen the risk of future conflict between your country and mine. Hopefully your influence will extend to current and future politicians and help them find a better way to conduct politics. Instead of politics as usual. Happy trails :)
not all dreams are the same, I have the dream of quitting smoking, but I like to smoke, so at present I don't have any plans to quit smoking, which makes my dream invisible. I doubt there is anyone in the world who feels that way. 🤭🤭🤭 Just kidding, your vision shows how much of the world you've already seen and I'm glad you shared it with us.
Mike, your posting is so lovely and so well spoken. And a special thanks for mentioning Threads, which should be obligatory viewing for many of our current politicians today.
You have half a million subscribers, so definitely you have done something right in the past. Love your sharing of Russia people, culture on the ground. I have been to Russia on tour about 10 years ago. Will like to do it again sometime in the future. Helped to debunk a lot of western media stereoptypes on Russia I had before that. Keep up your work, which is a great contribution to people understanding different civilizations
Please tell us MORE about Russian Eli! Perm is COOL! Russian looks so green and beautiful! Thanks for coming to Australia, loving Vegemite and braving the brown snakes. Come back soon 😁👍🏻🦘
You are really blessed to be able to travel around and visit many places. You have a very interesting life. I bet those children love it when you come to town. They are beautiful kids.
Eli - once again thanks for this wonderful content. I’m sorry that you seem to have lost your way. There was a time I felt down as I had lost my best friend - so I felt I needed to find a way - I decided to walk the Camino in northern Spain. It’s a pilgrimage route from France through basque region. I met people from all over the world as I walked each day. It helped me a lot.
Great suggestion! I walked the Camino de Santiago for 12 days departing from Porto, in Portugal, to Santiago de Compostela (Central Portuguese Route). An amazing and unforgettable journey!
I love this channel, it shows me about a country I have never been to but heard so much about. It is lovely to see and hear about all of the people and cultures within Russia. I would love to hear more about this big and beautiful country. You have friends here - we are always here for you to chat to. Thanks for sharing Eli x
Just happened to be talking to a university researcher researching underground anamolies like sink holes or voids. Causes of such geological events could be acidic water dissolving limestone materials. So in this case likely the waste water from mining was acidic and or the waste stream was not treated by the soda -Alkaline) to neutralise the acid. When neutralised it formed the white precipitate (salt) -hence that white lake....Can also be caused ground water flow too. In permafrost areas, Hydrates dissociating because rising temperature can cause the hydrates to break down and release methane into the atmosphere and leave a huge hole in the ground.
A short Google search revealed that the potash mines were never filled back in after the mines closed. Ground water filtered down and eroded the supporting mine roofs (made of soluble salt) and they collapsed. There is nothing that can be done now except monitor the sink rate and keep people away. They don't want you to film because this is a man-made, slow motion disaster caused by greedy mine owners and the government.
Best wishes to you, Eli! Many people experience the same feelings as you. I believe you are a good person and will land on your feet whatever you decide to do! I like Russia and feel sad that so many people are anti-Russian now due to current events. If I have the chance, I hope to visit Russia someday. Take care, Eli!
I’ve never been to Russia and have always wanted to visit, but I refuse to while Putin is in charge (I’m American-he might have me arrested just to extract some kind of concession)…or while the Russian military is in Ukraine. My Great-Grandparents were from Ukraine, and I can’t dishonor their memory that way. But I’m in my early 40s. I’ll outlive Putin. And perhaps the next Russian leader won’t be a paranoid a**hole.
In Serbia we call " mother Russia". Not everyone but a whole lot of people do. I guess people are dynamic and in constant motion, as verything else. The time will come when you will end you travels, and settle down. It will just happend. Its up to you, of course , to find few very good reasons to stay " grounded " , and keep youself busy.
Wow, how ignorant must you be to feel sad we are ANTI-RUSSIANS. We are also ANTI-HITLER, ANTI-NAZIGERMAN, ANTI-everything-that is ANTI-HUMAN. But as you are now so PRO-RUSSIA; why not go NOW and visit the great great country of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of travel, prosperity and wealth. Oh wait, this incredible country just started a global war agains humanity. How stupid of me.
Definitely I would like to visit Berezniki! It is the most "extreme" places that make travel worth it. For sure Eli you are the #1 RUclipsr! Your videos are so well filmed and edited plus of course the content is the most interesting!
"A step forward is a step in the right direction". You've obviously taken the next step. I'm glad you share your travels. You've stepped where I have only dreamed. Take care.
The town Berezniki is a place that stucked in the past but still have its own natural beauty. It is good to be back with family and to draw inward and reflect on the past journey. Reflecting on your past will help you to move forward. Both of your niece and nephew are so cute. Literally we’re watching them growing up. I wonder how Zlatoust city in the Ural region looks like? It is a birthplace of legendary Anatoly Karpov my favourite grandmaster. He is recovering from head injury so I heard. For your next video, if you happen to visit Caucasus region again, we would love to see you dancing wearing traditional costume with the folks. I’m sure there will be a suitor from Caucasus region asking you to dance with him in a traditional way. You can make a compilation of videos of you dancing in every region of Russia with different set of costumes according to each region tradition.
❤Eli! Such a great story teller and videographer! Thanks for the addendum, which brought tears to my eyes.🥲 I am so much looking forward to more videos of interesting places in Russia. 🇷🇺👏
Fascinating video Eli. Thanks for the tour of Perm. It is great that you have followed and achieved your dreams. Let that give you the confidence to dream more dreams and achieve them. I love your videos of places that show the different landscapes and cultures in Russia and I also love your observations on other countries. Please keep doing what you are doing
It's so interesting to learn about Russia's culture, history, architecture and everything else. I have never been to Russia. I would like to visit it and also Perm. Maybe one day. The Urals are another great destination. We love your videos very much and this one was really great. Thank you very much Eli.
Not boring at all. You are doing fine and take it day by day. So often we worry about the future when the here and now is what is really important 🥰 I'm sure your family is happy to see you and it will all work out. Things always do.
I like the depth you've tried to explore about a place, the people there, and their meaning to you. A mix of the sceneries and suitable depth will make your videos unique. I of course like the reactions of your family members towards things about Australia. The expressions on the faces of your niece, nephew, and your sister are priceless.❤
Eli, fantastic video and audio work! The stories and information you present is wonderful and very professional done! It is very entertaining at the same time. I love your RUclips channel.
My favorite parts of you videos are learning about food and interesting historical facts I never knew about. Like in this video: I never heard about the sinking city near Perm. It may be a bit depressing, but it's very interesting.
Well, first of all, I bet it was an absolute honour for Australia to have you here as long as you were here. And I'm sure Australia would be even more honoured to have you back. And, second of all, I am so so very sorry to hear of the most horrible news in regards to Russia and Ukraine. I really really wish for the most beautiful and peaceful skies in your part of the world. Ukraine ESPECIALLY. All in all, people like you are always very special and important people. People who have really travelled the world and who have really learnt so so many different cultures, religions, passions, artworks, da da da and bla bla bla and so on. And most importantly, people with good and pure hearts. I myself am an Australian born and raised in Sydney, and have never even left Australia. But thanks to people like you I have sure learnt a lot about the rest of the world beyond our shores. Which ever path you choose to take, we wish you all the very VERY best in your new adventures. Stay awesome. :-)
No need to worry. Your videos have been great. Your children are stunning. I even like your video about the holes. I am a long time fan of Russia, and Russian culture. The first novel I read as a teenager was "Dr. Zhivago". From then on I patterned my life after this hero.
Eli, I am a retired US Navy russian language specialist, who enjoys watching your videos showing the many wonderful adventures through the various countries to which you have traveled. After watching this particular video, I would advise you to continue exploring the world and its infinite beauty and endless cultures and people. You are young, and therefore are just starting out on what I am sure will be a long and very fulfilling "hike" on life's journey. Enjoy yourself, and take in all that the world affords you. Peace.
Greetings from the Permian Basin of the United States - named because of the petroleum minerals found in the permian geological formation, including potash. Until your video, I had absolutely no idea that its name came from Perm, Russia. Thank you for teaching me something about my own neighborhood by talking about a place completely on the other side of the world.
I love your clips ❤️ I would love to see more Russian food, the different cultures because I find that so interesting in Russia! I have pro have watch all your clips on here ❤ your statement about moving forward is always in the direction the stars want you to take ❤ when people ask me what I'm doing and I say Nothing I must be doing something right which is Nothing ... in the same way you are doing something even if it Maybe nothing you are looking inward for your next journey!! Keep Exploring Ellie ❤❤❤❤
You are the coolest aunty. You were so focussed and into your Australia trip so you kinda fell into a dark hole (hahaha...) after. It's a very poetic situation actually. You are so interested in the world. Your imagination will lead you to new places. And i'm super interested in watching the videos about the Urals. It has many beautiful sights. Like Yugyd Va National Park. No idea if it would be interesting for a vid, besides the amazing scenery. Or how you would get there even. It's very wild)) You could take us to the most boring place, i will still like it. It's new and mysterious.
I love the videos young Eli. I am old and for my generation Russia was a lost land. Keep making these videos for as long as you have youth and energy on your side. It opens up a world people like me can know nothing about otherwise. In Cheshire, in England many of the old salt mines have collapsed and the resultant lakes, known locally as flashes, have naturalised over the years and become beautiful features in the landscape.
Love the content on Russian cities, Russian history, people and culture :) its like im exploring these cities via your videos. I think keep this sort of fun, explorative and informative content coming 👍Id love to see some Russian orthodox churches and historical buildings and places.
I met a Russian physicist in the 80's (he worked on Russia's Star Wars project for x-ray laser). We were both fly fishermen and he showed a slide show of a solo raft trip down a river in the Urals that lasted for many weeks & thousands of kilometers. Amazing how high up in the river that race of Atlantic Salmon came up to spawn. Hope for your sake the Iron Curtain doesn't trap you and your travels.
Hi. I've been following your channel for a while. I absolutely love your work, i love your kind and optimistic character. Your filming has improved so much recently, watching your videos feels like I'm watching VICE magazine news documentary. That's how sophisticated and high quality it looks/feels. I hope you see this comment, I'm very happy for your journey. If you ever think of traveling to Canada (British Columbia) make sure to make an announcement, I would love to help you in any way to discover this beautiful place. Lots of support and love!!
🇷🇺🏞️ Looking forward to your hometown travels (the Urals) as well as the collaborations in "undisclosed" locations 😅. You are a talented storyteller and videographer.
GLAD to see you back in Russia! Your next plans for the summer sound wonderful. I'll be with you. Don't worry about being momentarily stuck with no "grand plans." One step forward is fine for now.
Thank You Eli for the wonderful videos full of information. Whenever I see these videos I feel nostalgic for my days in the Soviet Union!❤So nice that you Visited Nepal also!
You make great and interesting videos. I live in Floyd, Virginia of the USA. I learn so much from your travels. You continue to create great content. God bless you!
Thank you for this beautiful video. I 've been there. My mother in law lives in Berezniki. I liked it so much that i wanna go again. The only drawback is the low temperatures. Kind people, always smiling, willing to help you in any given moment. My father in law was from Buzuluk (Orenburg). I look forward to seeing a video from you visiting that city too in the future :)
@@ElifromRussia I also visited the "datcha" house of some friends in Ogurdino (close to Berezniki). I encourage everybody to visit cities like Berezniki, to meet real Russia. My wife insisted that i went from Berezniki to Buzuluk BY BUS, so that i could see real Russia. And i did. More than 15 hours. I will never forget this journey. A whole new experience for me!
please explore more of Russia it's an interesting and beautiful country, which I will not experience in-person to visit in my lifetime, you are the only connection of world geography to me. Thank you from the island of the Philippines! the logo is Mayon Volcano!
I agree .with so much to see so close to home in a country as huge as Russia.. I follow quite a few RUclips travelers like Eli's channel, getting to travel where i know i will never have the chance to go, and spend that time with a wonderful person like Eli showing me the sights. I hope Eli goes to Gornaya Shoria in the Ural of Russia mountains, Such fantastic rock & mountain formations and ancient history. I love the Philippines too, though i never been there, Both My daughters had filipino boyfriends when they were young, And back then i actually owned a colorful 1960's Sarao Jeepney taxi -wagon that somebody brought to the US. and i still have a Tuk -Tuk taxi- sidecar for a motorcycle with a painting of Mayon Volcano on front with beautiful colors & art work on it, just like the Jeepney had.. I am 70 years old and live in Near Death Valley California. My traveling days are long gone but i am happy i learned to use a computer and still can travel to special places. Check out Peter Santenello's You-Tube travel channel, it's a great travel vlog too.
Thank you Eli for putting regular Russians, going on about their lives, above politics. Thank you for educating and uniting the world on simple human matters, this is what it needs right now, and not further escalation. It is a healing act for me to watch your vlogs. You are a wise and brave girl, and are doing something extraordinary for your people, and the rest of the world. I hope we can visit Russia again at some point. Have visited just Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Very beautiful. The Russian culture as a whole is also phenomenal, hats off to this cultural place, made of people of many nationalities.
Thank you so much for opening up about how you feel in terms of your life. I really appreciate it and it's interesting to know that a person who's accomplished something in their life feels like this; like you don't have to be a loser to feel lost. Definitely wish you all the best, God willing you'll find your purpose in life. One thing is for sure, you have a very important tool and platform that can be used for something good and great. Your influence and your RUclips channel.
Very honest video! Great to see you are back in 🇷🇺 . Perhaps what viewers want to see in next sets of Urals-centric videos is perhaps something on the very tragic Dyatlov Pass Incident. It is still not solved. Many theories though, and as decades go by the incident gets more and more mysterious.
Dyatlov incident, right. I’ve forgotten about it. I remember learning about the incident in some yt channel about paranormal stuff and mysteries. Heard it was an avalanche what killed the hikers.
It most probably was a snowslide-avalanchelet. The Tunguska meteor was probably a big piece of iron that passed very near Earth slightly into the atmosphere and barely missed hitting anything, with big shock waves through the atmosphere knocking down all those trees.
@@ARIF74 I don't know if you know Russian, but there are many Russian scientific documentaries on RUclips about the Dyatlov Pass disaster. In short: Soviet scientists and investigators involved in the Dyatlov Pass case came to the categorical conclusion that it was not an avalanche. Many other versions were also rejected due to many inconsistencies. In general, the tragedy at the Dyatlov Pass remains one of the most mysterious events in recent history, and it has not yet been solved.
This video was not depressing .Interesting that the lady that lived a 1000 lifetimes of adventure and travel is saying she doesn't know what to do with her life.. Most of us cant even hope to do 10% of what you have done.(now that is depressing). As an American I love to see the real Russia and not what the media wants us to think Russia is .. Keep doing what you're doing. You are very lucky to have the opportunity to live a life as you do
Keep your lovely journal stories coming, Eli. You are an inspiration. As is Russia; a widely held view, per many comments below. I'm hoping to visit in 2024. Can't wait.
Эли, насколь я знаю в Перми проводят экскурсии на завод "Пермские моторы", где делают авиадвигатели. Только 4-5 стран в мире могут делать современные турбореактивные двигатели.
a grandpa using the internet is nice. God bless. Also, don't fall for indian scammers, never give people from the phone or internet your money regardless of anything.
I just watched this and wanted to tell you as an American how much I have enjoyed your videos and am so grateful for you bringing to us a glimpse into the vast beauty and culture of Russia. The west, I’m sad to say is in crisis as all great powers will face and hopefully find a way to right itself. The only way to truly do this is with love and diplomacy with an eye toward peace and prosperity for all. Whatever you decide to do in life right know is not etched in stone. You are to big a spirit for that. I just hope you continue in some capacity to stay on youtube sharing you latest adventures and insights. ☮️🌱❤️
@@CarmellaMulroy Stop listening to years of one-sided anti-Russian propaganda. Take care of the problems in your country.You must stop sponsoring the Nazi regime in Ukraine against Russia.
@@bruceevans9664 No NATO was going to use Ukraine to attack Russia. We have use Russia as threat to fed to bottomless pit if the MIC for decades. It became an actual threat when Putin backed Assad in our quest to take “7 countries in 5 years” plan to destabilize the Middle East, set up puppet governments and steal their oil. We are not know nor have every really been the good guys we have relentlessly portrayed ourselves since WWll as we devastated other nations through war, proxy wars, coups and sanctions. We break our word, as in the Minsk Agreement. As the leader of a global super power with vast natural resources and millions and millions of people surrounded by US military bases and hostile NATO, yes, he had no choice. Is he a saint? That’s not the point. Has been up to what the US has been, sparking refugee crisis around the globe as the economic disparity grows in his own nation and thousands of homeless vets and addicts live on the streets and race divides are fostered by a censorious essentially State media? No.
Love your videos and congrats on accomplishing your life goals! I know what that feels like and it is a really strange time in life. All I can say is, enjoy the break - other goals will naturally emerge over time :)
I'm glad to see a new video about Russia, I missed it :p Can't wait to watch your adventure in the Urals, my wife is from Ijevsk and we often travel there from Moscow + I really love this area in Russia just at the frontline of Europe and Asia. All the best ;)
What great journalism. Certainly not fully in line with what the authorities want talked about, but as far as I'm concerned, your journalism absolutely improves the understanding and empathy and friendly relations with people around the world.
Loved your video, on return, Yes one place I would like you to visit, is the Origin of the Event in Permian Times, The Puterano Traps. 90% of Life in the Oceans died, and 70% of life on Land. I have watched many videos of the migrations of Caribou, Wolves, through visiting Rangers. As a Geologist it is a must for me! Anyway that is the Perm relationship for you Eli, it is amazing. Thanks for being you..........
thank you Eli , it is great to see this from a honest point of view and the 17 minutes isa good length for watching, I look forward to watching your next episode.
Honestly keep doing what you are doing! Show us more about Russia. I feel so conflicted when I watch your videos because all we hear in US is negative about Russia and it’s people. But it is nice to get to know and learn about your country all the different cultures and communities within Russia! Show us nature too do you have national Forrest’s or protected lands ? Please teach us more and definitely share the video about the mansion that you mention I think bc you are from there you may underestimate how interesting your home city can be! I would love to learn more. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Yes there are nice sceneries and friendly people in Russia. Still the facts do not change, Russia has started a war in Europe. Russia has always been and always will be an existential threat to all its smaller neighbors.
I just posted a familiar comment as yours, without seeing yours. I feel the same exact way. USA, specifically MSM and Social Media has painted a horrible image of Russia and it's People. Millions started putting the Ukraine flag emoji on their Social Media accounts. Look how quick the masses get sucked in. ~ Have a nice day & thank you for your post.
@@liepalind616 you sound racist. Russia was provoked into this war by NATO. what do you think America would do if Russia helped overthrow Canada's government and installed an anti American government and trained their military and gave them weapons to fight America. We would invade Canada . Don't be a hypocrite.
I mean not to sound like a babushka but, when will Miss Eli start a family? Motherhood would seem so fitting for yourself. Very informative and educational content, thank you for the time and effort you place into your productions. Good health and continued success in all you set to achieve in life.
Hi Eli, your videos are always interesting and very unique. It is great that you are exploring your own country and being objective and honest about it. We in the West miss so much about the biggest country in the world and thanks to you, we can understand a little bit more. I spent many years in European Alps, some time in Africa and a lot of time in Oceania, but have never been to Russia, Scandanavia, Iberian peninsula or South America. These are all places I have wanted to spend time in, or even work in, but time goes so fast, and I better get started soon! With regards to not knowing what to do next, some people take a linear approach to life, which can work well for them. Personally I compare life to the rings of a tree. We complete circles and then grow out to the next circle. You seem to have completed one of those circles and maybe it is time to take things to the next level or next dimension, which could be expanding on what you have already done, or taking on something completely different, depending on your interests and skills (of which you have many!) The project with the Russian National Geographic sounds tremendous and I really look forward to seeing your video on that. I, like I think most of the world, am so sorry about the situation in Ukraine. It is quite obvious that it was initiated by and driven by some unseen forces, people who prefer to hide from society and discuss openly with their relevant counterparts. It is an absolute tragedy, but I am optimistic that fuel of animosity, mistrust and greed will slowly burn off and extinguish itself, so we can all move on and continue to grow; hopefully in harmony with our natural environment. We humans are certainly an interesting species, and we sure know how to wreck things! Keep doing what you are doing, and keep completing those growth rings. You are still young but I think you will do a lot of good things in your life, for both your own beautiful country and for the rest of the world.

As a Dutch Australian who has travelled all over the world for many years and now living peacefully in Australia I would very much like you to go to that part of Russia to show and discuss the amazing geology of the Siberian Traps. It is a large igneous Province (LIP) and also relates to the Permian extinction event. Some drone flights over some it would be great as it is one of the largest LIP's on the planet which could incorporate most of Australia. Of course some research will be required on your part but I am sure that you will find it interesting. In addition, as you are a world traveller you and that you have been to some amazing places around the world (including Mt Everest) you will come to appreciate the geology of what you have experienced which will further enhance your knowledge and appreciation of your travels. And when you are ready to leave Russia again I can recommend a long thorough visit to South America which also has fantastic history and geology. Cheers from the Train Lord in South Australia.
Thank you Eli for your fascinating travelogue. What to do next?? Please show more of Russia, my favorite country.I am sure there is more to Russia than meets the eye! BTW, Winston Churchill defined Russia as "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. "
Eli, I want to see anything you want to explore and share. Your nephew and niece are such adorable kids. I am getting ready to buy rural property (somewhere) to raise my own food. After many years of research I have invented/discovered a new kind of really nutritious agriculture -- it is an order of magnitude better than organic. One of my most important criteria is to not be in a sink hole area. I am even thinking about immigrating to Russia. I would love to do that so much. You have inspired me to have the courage to boldly think about doing this.
I was born in Berezniki.. haven't been there since the early 2000 so many things have changed but some are still the same.. its somehow bittersweet to see memories from my childhood mixed with what is happening now.. also I think not everything has to be exciting and beautiful and cool and shiny.. life has also darker or sadder moments that are worth being acknowledged, thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching 🤗

10:29 good on ya for going to the 'dangerous' area of the Breznikovsky Sodovy Zavod JSC waste plant. We are now experts on Berezniki, Perm Region🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😄
Hello Eli, hope you are doing great.
I live in perm krai, can we meet?
I’m from India 🇮🇳
I am born and raised in Canada with English heritage. Roast-beef, Yorkshire Pudding and thick gravy every Sunday, yet not versed in everything 'old world'. Later, while work-travelling around England in the 90s, I was passing through a small town (by bicycle) and stopped at a street corner to ask an elder home-owner for a glass of water. She proceeded to invite me in for the water, some toast and to talk. After drinking half a glass of iced-water, I thanked her for the toast she offered and took a bite. Mein Gott! did she spread IODINE on the bread? No - it was Marmite...
The kind old Lady laughed at the face I was making while I apologized for saying the Marmite tasted worse than medicine to me. We talked about Marmite, Peanut Butter, Cultural differences and changing times. She asked me where I had been and where I was going. Having just left Cambridge and heading south towards London, I had no clue where I was headed, but England was mine for the taking. I ended up in Bournemouth for over a year's worth of Life Experience only Travelling can teach...
Eli, come to Canada. Respect :)
@@PaPyRene The mining town of Kiruna, in Sweden, is also sinking.
Yes, 20 years of the US Wolfowitz/Bush doctrine: 4.5 million deaths in post 9/11 war zones more than 38 million people displaced. Two thirds of the world sanctioned. Only difference is that now a belligerent US isn't dealing with a soft target. It's dealing with a nuclear power in a multipolar world.
Such a natural, likeable, sincere, and accomplished young lady. You're an example of how humankind should interact with each other. Gold star for you, Eli.
In the end, the quality of a RUclips channel depends on the depth of character, personality, intelligence,
and values of its creator. There is no doubt in my mind that "Eli From Russia" is a winner
by any measure, because of who Eli is. This is one of my favorite channels.
My favorite too!
Nobody ever said such words to me, thank you so much 🥹🙏🏻 I am so glad to hear this and I hope to bring more value with my channel with every future video
I agree!
@ElifromRussia I totally agree with the above comment. I understand your moment, after making your dreams come true, but, to me, you should keep on doing the excellent job you're doing with your YT channel... at least, I hope you'll do! 😊

Fantastic academic heritages: Physics-Mathematics school #3 created by V.V.Efimov(w multiple World Olympics winners)...so...maybe next time then?
This was fascinating definitely not boring. I'm looking forward to seeing the different cultures of the Urals. Russia is such a vast place so many different cultures that most of us never get to know about.

Dear Eli
My wive and I would have loved to explore Russia. Sadly it looks like we might not achieve this during our lifetime.
All the more it is important to keep the outside world informed about the good Russia of honest, hard working people, trying to make it work for their families.
You have a very special talent to tell such stories and we enjoy your posts very much. It might not seem very important to you, but you are an ambassador
of goodwil for the Russian people abroad. Thank you for your great work, take care and keep up your positive spirit!
All the best- Laura & Michael

Your videos give me hope! I am from the United States. I am so worried about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia & about the possibility of other countries fighting. I see your beautiful land and people in your videos and want to learn more about Russian culture. I want all countries to be at peace with one another, so our children can grow happy & free & have the best chance at life! We are all people, no matter where we live. We all need & want the same things. Praying for the world - for Russia, Ukraine, America, Australia, China…for every soul! Thanks Eli from Russia! Love from America! 💕🙏🏼😇 P.S. I would be afraid to go to the sinking city!

your country (US) is to blame for war on mine (Ukraine). So worry about yourself.
@@frontgradI think you missed the point …
@@frontgrad I agree with you totally, the US elites are to blame, but it is still a cruel comment, because this human just wants peace for everybody. Everybody means everybody. Please note that not everybody in the west is so ignorant as not to understand what lead to this conflict and who is actually to blame for it. We, the ordinary people, ALL want to live in peace and mind our own business, and I am sure that we are capable of living in peace together. But as long as there are so many brainwashed helpers for the almighty evil creatures on this earth we will not get our peace.
@@frontgraddoes he have any relationship to this?
Your videos help people understand the biggest country in the world, so much of which is off any tourist trail. i particularly like hearing people speaking Russian with the translation sub-titled - much better than overdubbing.
Given the fact that Russia is so gigantic, I´d say just keep exploring the country. I´ve heard there are some really bizzare, scary, unexplainable places, buildings, mountains etc. If I lived in Russia, I guess I´d travel non-stop 🙂
😊😊😊😊😊
More like, travel while you can. Seeing where Putin is taking this country, it's future is definitely ucertain.
Yes, I am learning more about Russia thanks to these videos.
It's not America bro. You'll be wandering in never ending taiga and tundra for 10 000 kilometres until you end up in Kamchatka lol
@@SashaFujiwara I'm a Canadian and the last place that I'd want to visit is the lower 48, Alaska yes, but that's all. Russia for me!!!
I lived in Berezniki for 6 years and I really didn’t feel danger there. You just live your life. There are a lot of unique and smart people there, and I like them very much. However, I felt the same, Eli. Maybe because of this feeling I left the city. Sometimes I come back to visit my family. And, unfortunately, over the years the city becomes sadly.

@fermatichebellosei1595 I recommend watching the RUclips channel of one large Australian family who moved to Russia in the Altai. Ask yourself why more and more English-speaking people are moving to Russia, and not vice versa. And over time, this trend will only grow.
Thanks again for taking us on your journey home. Would love to visit your country one day. Love Australia.
Eli, heartfelt congratulations on all that you've achieved and everywhere that you've travelled to. This video didn't come across as boring or depressing in any way. We all find ourselves a bit lost at times and usually, IME, the answer of what choice to make or what to do next presents itself, if you have an open mind. Well done you for vocalising what you were struggling with and for asking for help.
Having over half a million subscribers is amazing and it shows that your content is valuable to many, many people.
I grew up during the Cold War and films like Threads, which showed the aftermath of nuclear war in the UK cast a shadow over our formative years. For all of my life, the USSR and now the CIS and particularly Russia has been depicted as the enemy and the source of what was bad in the world because of the many proxy wars fought between East and West.
I'm in the UK (currently) and we know that there are many sides to Russia and not just the extremes that we see in the media.
I've watched a few RUclips channels, presented by Russians, about Russia and I believe that yours is the best by far. As a viewer,
I never know what to expect, so everything is a surprise, extremely well presented and offers a window into ordinary Russian society and the Russian people, that we would otherwise never see. My sense is that you seek to show the subject of your vlogs as they are. Without bias nor embellishment and you achieve this brilliantly.
What you show perfectly is that we humans are all pretty much the same, the world over. We have the same hopes and fears. The same challenges as we progress through life. The same dreams for ourselves and the generations that follow us.
One of the things that depresses me most. Is the incalculable waste of resources, lives and time that have gone into conflict between nations. What you do, helps to lessen the risk of future conflict between your country and mine. Hopefully your influence will extend to current and future politicians and help them find a better way to conduct politics. Instead of politics as usual.
Happy trails :)
not all dreams are the same, I have the dream of quitting smoking, but I like to smoke, so at present I don't have any plans to quit smoking, which makes my dream invisible. I doubt there is anyone in the world who feels that way. 🤭🤭🤭
Just kidding, your vision shows how much of the world you've already seen and I'm glad you shared it with us.

Mike, your posting is so lovely and so well spoken. And a special thanks for mentioning Threads, which should be obligatory viewing for many of our current politicians today.

I have been to Russia on tour about 10 years ago. Will like to do it again sometime in the future. Helped to debunk a lot of western media stereoptypes on Russia I had before that.
Keep up your work, which is a great contribution to people understanding different civilizations
What propoganda? That Russia didn't start the war?

Hi Eli,

I love when you share the unique features and people of your vast country.
You're wonderful Miss Eli🌟 Florida also has sinkholes.

Thanks for coming to Australia, loving Vegemite and braving the brown snakes. Come back soon 😁👍🏻🦘

You are really blessed to be able to travel around and visit many places. You have a very interesting life. I bet those children love it when you come to town. They are beautiful kids.
Love all that you do Eli !! ❤
Eli - once again thanks for this wonderful content. I’m sorry that you seem to have lost your way. There was a time I felt down as I had lost my best friend - so I felt I needed to find a way - I decided to walk the Camino in northern Spain. It’s a pilgrimage route from France through basque region. I met people from all over the world as I walked each day. It helped me a lot.
Great suggestion! I walked the Camino de Santiago for 12 days departing from Porto, in Portugal, to Santiago de Compostela (Central Portuguese Route). An amazing and unforgettable journey!

you are amazing, Eli :) kind regards from Slovenia to everyone reading this.
I love this channel, it shows me about a country I have never been to but heard so much about. It is lovely to see and hear about all of the people and cultures within Russia. I would love to hear more about this big and beautiful country. You have friends here - we are always here for you to chat to. Thanks for sharing Eli x
Just happened to be talking to a university researcher researching underground anamolies like sink holes or voids. Causes of such geological events could be acidic water dissolving limestone materials. So in this case likely the waste water from mining was acidic and or the waste stream was not treated by the soda -Alkaline) to neutralise the acid. When neutralised it formed the white precipitate (salt) -hence that white lake....Can also be caused ground water flow too. In permafrost areas, Hydrates dissociating because rising temperature can cause the hydrates to break down and release methane into the atmosphere and leave a huge hole in the ground.
A short Google search revealed that the potash mines were never filled back in after the mines closed. Ground water filtered down and eroded the supporting mine roofs (made of soluble salt) and they collapsed. There is nothing that can be done now except monitor the sink rate and keep people away. They don't want you to film because this is a man-made, slow motion disaster caused by greedy mine owners and the government.
One of the highest ranked Ambassadors of Russia for sure.... Love your channel. x
Best wishes to you, Eli! Many people experience the same feelings as you. I believe you are a good person and will land on your feet whatever you decide to do!
I like Russia and feel sad that so many people are anti-Russian now due to current events. If I have the chance, I hope to visit Russia someday. Take care, Eli!
I'm not anti-Russian. My ancestors were born there. I'm against the fascist, kleptocratic, regime in power.
I’ve never been to Russia and have always wanted to visit, but I refuse to while Putin is in charge (I’m American-he might have me arrested just to extract some kind of concession)…or while the Russian military is in Ukraine. My Great-Grandparents were from Ukraine, and I can’t dishonor their memory that way. But I’m in my early 40s. I’ll outlive Putin. And perhaps the next Russian leader won’t be a paranoid a**hole.
In Serbia we call " mother Russia". Not everyone but a whole lot of people do. I guess people are dynamic and in constant motion, as verything else. The time will come when you will end you travels, and settle down. It will just happend. Its up to you, of course , to find few very good reasons to stay " grounded " , and keep youself busy.
She propagate russian nazi ....please report her
Wow, how ignorant must you be to feel sad we are ANTI-RUSSIANS. We are also ANTI-HITLER, ANTI-NAZIGERMAN, ANTI-everything-that is ANTI-HUMAN. But as you are now so PRO-RUSSIA; why not go NOW and visit the great great country of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of travel, prosperity and wealth. Oh wait, this incredible country just started a global war agains humanity. How stupid of me.
Definitely I would like to visit Berezniki! It is the most "extreme" places that make travel worth it.
For sure Eli you are the #1 RUclipsr! Your videos are so well filmed and edited plus of course the content is the most interesting!
"A step forward is a step in the right direction". You've obviously taken the next step. I'm glad you share your travels. You've stepped where I have only dreamed. Take care.
The town Berezniki is a place that stucked in the past but still have its own natural beauty. It is good to be back with family and to draw inward and reflect on the past journey. Reflecting on your past will help you to move forward. Both of your niece and nephew are so cute. Literally we’re watching them growing up. I wonder how Zlatoust city in the Ural region looks like? It is a birthplace of legendary Anatoly Karpov my favourite grandmaster. He is recovering from head injury so I heard. For your next video, if you happen to visit Caucasus region again, we would love to see you dancing wearing traditional costume with the folks. I’m sure there will be a suitor from Caucasus region asking you to dance with him in a traditional way. You can make a compilation of videos of you dancing in every region of Russia with different set of costumes according to each region tradition.
❤Eli! Such a great story teller and videographer! Thanks for the addendum, which brought tears to my eyes.🥲 I am so much looking forward to more videos of interesting places in Russia. 🇷🇺👏
Fascinating video Eli. Thanks for the tour of Perm. It is great that you have followed and achieved your dreams. Let that give you the confidence to dream more dreams and achieve them. I love your videos of places that show the different landscapes and cultures in Russia and I also love your observations on other countries. Please keep doing what you are doing
Thanks for your great video, we really enjoyed watching it 🌺💖🙏

The Urals are another great destination. We love your videos very much and this one was really great. Thank you very much Eli.

Greetings from Berezniki!:)
Eli this is such an amazing video!! Thank you for talking about all of this and being brave enough to actually SHOW everything. You are amazing.
I like the depth you've tried to explore about a place, the people there, and their meaning to you. A mix of the sceneries and suitable depth will make your videos unique.
I of course like the reactions of your family members towards things about Australia. The expressions on the faces of your niece, nephew, and your sister are priceless.❤
Eli, fantastic video and audio work! The stories and information you present is wonderful and very professional done! It is very entertaining at the same time. I love your RUclips channel.
My favorite parts of you videos are learning about food and interesting historical facts I never knew about. Like in this video: I never heard about the sinking city near Perm. It may be a bit depressing, but it's very interesting.
Just keep making more videos!! You're one of my favourite RUclips vloggers.
How did I miss your RUclips page. Amazing produced videos that grab my interest. I'm now following your travels.
Well, first of all, I bet it was an absolute honour for Australia to have you here as long as you were here. And I'm sure Australia would be even more honoured to have you back.
And, second of all, I am so so very sorry to hear of the most horrible news in regards to Russia and Ukraine. I really really wish for the most beautiful and peaceful skies in your part of the world. Ukraine ESPECIALLY.
All in all, people like you are always very special and important people. People who have really travelled the world and who have really learnt so so many different cultures, religions, passions, artworks, da da da and bla bla bla and so on. And most importantly, people with good and pure hearts.
I myself am an Australian born and raised in Sydney, and have never even left Australia. But thanks to people like you I have sure learnt a lot about the rest of the world beyond our shores.
Which ever path you choose to take, we wish you all the very VERY best in your new adventures.

I love the videos young Eli. I am old and for my generation Russia was a lost land. Keep making these videos for as long as you have youth and energy on your side. It opens up a world people like me can know nothing about otherwise. In Cheshire, in England many of the old salt mines have collapsed and the resultant lakes, known locally as flashes, have naturalised over the years and become beautiful features in the landscape.
Love the content on Russian cities, Russian history, people and culture :) its like im exploring these cities via your videos. I think keep this sort of fun, explorative and informative content coming 👍Id love to see some Russian orthodox churches and historical buildings and places.

I hope Eli goes to Gornaya Shoria in the Ural of Russia mountains, Such fantastic rock & mountain formations and ancient history. I love the Philippines too, though i never been there, Both My daughters had filipino boyfriends when they were young, And back then i actually owned a colorful 1960's Sarao Jeepney taxi -wagon that somebody brought to the US. and i still have a Tuk -Tuk taxi- sidecar for a motorcycle with a painting of Mayon Volcano on front with beautiful colors & art work on it, just like the Jeepney had.. I am 70 years old and live in Near Death Valley California. My traveling days are long gone but i am happy i learned to use a computer and still can travel to special places.

Hi Eli
I lived in Perm for two years! ❤
Thank you Eli for putting regular Russians, going on about their lives, above politics. Thank you for educating and uniting the world on simple human matters, this is what it needs right now, and not further escalation. It is a healing act for me to watch your vlogs. You are a wise and brave girl, and are doing something extraordinary for your people, and the rest of the world. I hope we can visit Russia again at some point. Have visited just Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Very beautiful. The Russian culture as a whole is also phenomenal, hats off to this cultural place, made of people of many nationalities.
Thank you so much for opening up about how you feel in terms of your life. I really appreciate it and it's interesting to know that a person who's accomplished something in their life feels like this; like you don't have to be a loser to feel lost. Definitely wish you all the best, God willing you'll find your purpose in life.
One thing is for sure, you have a very important tool and platform that can be used for something good and great. Your influence and your RUclips channel.
Very honest video! Great to see you are back in 🇷🇺 . Perhaps what viewers want to see in next sets of Urals-centric videos is perhaps something on the very tragic Dyatlov Pass Incident. It is still not solved. Many theories though, and as decades go by the incident gets more and more mysterious.
Dyatlov incident, right. I’ve forgotten about it. I remember learning about the incident in some yt channel about paranormal stuff and mysteries. Heard it was an avalanche what killed the hikers.
It most probably was a snowslide-avalanchelet. The Tunguska meteor was probably a big piece of iron that passed very near Earth slightly into the atmosphere and barely missed hitting anything, with big shock waves through the atmosphere knocking down all those trees.
@@ARIF74 the version of the avalanche has long been refuted, everything is much more complicated there.
@@Siberian_Crown what you mean "more complicated there"? Now I'm curious.
@@ARIF74 I don't know if you know Russian, but there are many Russian scientific documentaries on RUclips about the Dyatlov Pass disaster. In short: Soviet scientists and investigators involved in the Dyatlov Pass case came to the categorical conclusion that it was not an avalanche. Many other versions were also rejected due to many inconsistencies. In general, the tragedy at the Dyatlov Pass remains one of the most mysterious events in recent history, and it has not yet been solved.
This video was not depressing .Interesting that the lady that lived a 1000 lifetimes of adventure and travel is saying she doesn't know what to do with her life.. Most of us cant even hope to do 10% of what you have done.(now that is depressing). As an American I love to see the real Russia and not what the media wants us to think Russia is .. Keep doing what you're doing. You are very lucky to have the opportunity to live a life as you do
What exactly do you think Russia represents these days? Are you hiding under a rock?
Outside of certain parts of Moscow and St. Petersburg, Soviet architecture and buildings are depressingly ugly.
Wayne from Australia here Love your videos , Thank you for your very cool vids ....
You will find my goals , ive been there ,, but a new chapter will start you will find meening from what you have so far learnt
Keep your lovely journal stories coming, Eli. You are an inspiration. As is Russia; a widely held view, per many comments below. I'm hoping to visit in 2024. Can't wait.
Эли, насколь я знаю в Перми проводят экскурсии на завод "Пермские моторы", где делают авиадвигатели. Только 4-5 стран в мире могут делать современные турбореактивные двигатели.
You're fantastic at what you do. Please show us more of Russia. I'm 85 & recently fell in love with Russian culture.
Here is a video about Russian culture ruclips.net/video/UP7A6UIxo-8/видео.html
a grandpa using the internet is nice. God bless.
Also, don't fall for indian scammers, never give people from the phone or internet your money regardless of anything.
That culture is currently supporting mass murder. People watching this channel seem to have forgotten that.
Recently as in 24th of Febuary 2022?
@@jay1jayfwhy so much hatred
I just watched this and wanted to tell you as an American how much I have enjoyed your videos and am so grateful for you bringing to us a glimpse into the vast beauty and culture of Russia. The west, I’m sad to say is in crisis as all great powers will face and hopefully find a way to right itself. The only way to truly do this is with love and diplomacy with an eye toward peace and prosperity for all. Whatever you decide to do in life right know is not etched in stone. You are to big a spirit for that. I just hope you continue in some capacity to stay on youtube sharing you latest adventures and insights. ☮️🌱❤️
No one blames you for the war crimes of the Russians in Ukraine. BTW love your channel
@@CarmellaMulroy Stop listening to years of one-sided anti-Russian propaganda. Take care of the problems in your country.You must stop sponsoring the Nazi regime in Ukraine against Russia.
@@CarmellaMulroy I don’t see where Russia had a choice.
@@renemarie911 Didn't have a choice? What, Ukraine was going to invade Russia? Take off your blinders.
@@bruceevans9664 No NATO was going to use Ukraine to attack Russia. We have use Russia as threat to fed to bottomless pit if the MIC for decades. It became an actual threat when Putin backed Assad in our quest to take “7 countries in 5 years” plan to destabilize the Middle East, set up puppet governments and steal their oil. We are not know nor have every really been the good guys we have relentlessly portrayed ourselves since WWll as we devastated other nations through war, proxy wars, coups and sanctions. We break our word, as in the Minsk Agreement. As the leader of a global super power with vast natural resources and millions and millions of people surrounded by US military bases and hostile NATO, yes, he had no choice. Is he a saint? That’s not the point. Has been up to what the US has been, sparking refugee crisis around the globe as the economic disparity grows in his own nation and thousands of homeless vets and addicts live on the streets and race divides are fostered by a censorious essentially State media? No.
Love your videos and congrats on accomplishing your life goals! I know what that feels like and it is a really strange time in life. All I can say is, enjoy the break - other goals will naturally emerge over time :)
Hi Eli, I would love to see much more of Russia and it's many beautiful regions and peoples.
I'm glad to see a new video about Russia, I missed it :p Can't wait to watch your adventure in the Urals, my wife is from Ijevsk and we often travel there from Moscow + I really love this area in Russia just at the frontline of Europe and Asia. All the best ;)
What great journalism. Certainly not fully in line with what the authorities want talked about, but as far as I'm concerned, your journalism absolutely improves the understanding and empathy and friendly relations with people around the world.
She propagate russian nazi ....please report her
Loved your video, on return, Yes one place I would like you to visit, is the Origin of the Event in Permian Times, The Puterano Traps. 90% of Life in the Oceans died, and 70% of life on Land. I have watched many videos of the migrations of Caribou, Wolves, through visiting Rangers. As a Geologist it is a must for me! Anyway that is the Perm relationship for you Eli, it is amazing. Thanks for being you..........
thank you Eli , it is great to see this from a honest point of view and the 17 minutes isa good length for watching, I look forward to watching your next episode.
I have never known about that town. I live in Sverdlovskay region, and that situation is interesting for me.
Honestly keep doing what you are doing! Show us more about Russia. I feel so conflicted when I watch your videos because all we hear in US is negative about Russia and it’s people. But it is nice to get to know and learn about your country all the different cultures and communities within Russia! Show us nature too do you have national Forrest’s or protected lands ? Please teach us more and definitely share the video about the mansion that you mention I think bc you are from there you may underestimate how interesting your home city can be! I would love to learn more. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
I've learned American propaganda is second to none, especially recently.
Yes there are nice sceneries and friendly people in Russia. Still the facts do not change, Russia has started a war in Europe. Russia has always been and always will be an existential threat to all its smaller neighbors.
@@brianhenry7983 I used to admire US freedom, joy of life, their tech, democracy ... now I think they are evil, especially this government.
I just posted a familiar comment as yours, without seeing yours. I feel the same exact way. USA, specifically MSM and Social Media has painted a horrible image of Russia and it's People. Millions started putting the Ukraine flag emoji on their Social Media accounts. Look how quick the masses get sucked in. ~ Have a nice day & thank you for your post.
@@liepalind616 you sound racist. Russia was provoked into this war by NATO. what do you think America would do if Russia helped overthrow Canada's government and installed an anti American government and trained their military and gave them weapons to fight America. We would invade Canada . Don't be a hypocrite.
I've learned so much from you and your travels. I believe you are giving the world a gift. Very important educational gift. Cheers!
I mean not to sound like a babushka but, when will Miss Eli start a family? Motherhood would seem so fitting for yourself.
Very informative and educational content, thank you for the time and effort you place into your productions. Good health and continued success in all you set to achieve in life.
Great video and I am looking forward to see more and more of your videos in the future. You are amazing, sending you best wishes from England
Thank you for showing me Russia! I subscribed. Slava Rossiya!
❤❤❤
Hi Eli, your videos are always interesting and very unique. It is great that you are exploring your own country and being objective and honest about it. We in the West miss so much about the biggest country in the world and thanks to you, we can understand a little bit more.
I spent many years in European Alps, some time in Africa and a lot of time in Oceania, but have never been to Russia, Scandanavia, Iberian peninsula or South America. These are all places I have wanted to spend time in, or even work in, but time goes so fast, and I better get started soon!
With regards to not knowing what to do next, some people take a linear approach to life, which can work well for them. Personally I compare life to the rings of a tree. We complete circles and then grow out to the next circle. You seem to have completed one of those circles and maybe it is time to take things to the next level or next dimension, which could be expanding on what you have already done, or taking on something completely different, depending on your interests and skills (of which you have many!)
The project with the Russian National Geographic sounds tremendous and I really look forward to seeing your video on that.
I, like I think most of the world, am so sorry about the situation in Ukraine. It is quite obvious that it was initiated by and driven by some unseen forces, people who prefer to hide from society and discuss openly with their relevant counterparts. It is an absolute tragedy, but I am optimistic that fuel of animosity, mistrust and greed will slowly burn off and extinguish itself, so we can all move on and continue to grow; hopefully in harmony with our natural environment. We humans are certainly an interesting species, and we sure know how to wreck things!
Keep doing what you are doing, and keep completing those growth rings. You are still young but I think you will do a lot of good things in your life, for both your own beautiful country and for the rest of the world.
Maori people say Kia Kaha (keep strong), and keep bringing people together, as you have been doing so well.
Looking forward to the next one!
Very good advice❤
As a Dutch Australian who has travelled all over the world for many years and now living peacefully in Australia I would very much like you to go to that part of Russia to show and discuss the amazing geology of the Siberian Traps. It is a large igneous Province (LIP) and also relates to the Permian extinction event. Some drone flights over some it would be great as it is one of the largest LIP's on the planet which could incorporate most of Australia. Of course some research will be required on your part but I am sure that you will find it interesting. In addition, as you are a world traveller you and that you have been to some amazing places around the world (including Mt Everest) you will come to appreciate the geology of what you have experienced which will further enhance your knowledge and appreciation of your travels. And when you are ready to leave Russia again I can recommend a long thorough visit to South America which also has fantastic history and geology. Cheers from the Train Lord in South Australia.
I really enjoyed your videos. Hope one day I can come to your country
Eli, You Are Such An Inspiring+Optimistic Young Lady! Thank You For All You Do and For The Possitive Messages!
Love you 🎉❤ form INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thank you Eli for your fascinating travelogue. What to do next??
Please show more of Russia, my favorite country.I am sure there is more to Russia than meets the eye!
BTW, Winston Churchill defined Russia as "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. "
Eli, I want to see anything you want to explore and share. Your nephew and niece are such adorable kids. I am getting ready to buy rural property (somewhere) to raise my own food. After many years of research I have invented/discovered a new kind of really nutritious agriculture -- it is an order of magnitude better than organic. One of my most important criteria is to not be in a sink hole area. I am even thinking about immigrating to Russia. I would love to do that so much. You have inspired me to have the courage to boldly think about doing this.
Đất nước bạn thật rộng lớn,tôi luôn thích nó,và muốn đến để khám phá và trải nghiệm nó,tuyệt vời,chúc bạn mạnh khỏe thành công❤
I was born in Berezniki.. haven't been there since the early 2000 so many things have changed but some are still the same.. its somehow bittersweet to see memories from my childhood mixed with what is happening now.. also I think not everything has to be exciting and beautiful and cool and shiny.. life has also darker or sadder moments that are worth being acknowledged, thank you for sharing
