Recently I’ve visited Volgograd and on my way back to Moscow, on a map I saw… Urupinsk! I was so excited, because this is a city from an anecdote, and many people even think that this town doesn’t exist, so I had to visit it! Thank you a lot for watching 😉 and here’s the link to join my Russian Speaking Club 📍 elinabakunova.com/russianclub . We start soon!
Очень хорошее видео, надеюсь скоро увидеть вас
Eli it's interesting as ever...If you could do a more videos on Tartars and autochton Siberians and other minorities I would really like it ...I'm Montenegrin Serb /Australian and I'm mostly interested in non Slavonic Russia /that's the most interesting topic cos that's something I do have just vague idea of/👍
@@radomirratkovic9014 She did, look her older videos.
You give me a smile in my face, like everytime I watch your videos.
I'm Austrian, have been several times in Russia an will return in some days.
Sweet regards,
Mario
Eli; who is the artist of that last song at the end of your video? Thanks
Beautiful song and video as usual
Feels like a small town in Sweden 30-50 years ago. Before things started to go crazy.
What’s that supposed to mean? Sweden was already rich 30-50 years ago.
I buy you a ticket to Russia comrade.
Pharmacy Lady was very kind to provide a tour and let you film.
I really enjoy seeing parts of Russia :) I'm from Australia, and Russia really is like a whole other world, so different from the west.
I admire the Russian soul of the finally music set. Русская Душа. Браво.
I am enjoying seeing Russia with your help. My Maternal Grandparents were from Saratov. They relocated to Canada during the Revolution in 1918. I grew up in Southern California, a very long way from Russia. We currently live in Washington State, USA. I started watching you because you look exactly like our oldest granddaughter! You could be twins, you look so much alike! Maybe we are related. Be safe in your travels, some places look so dangerously cold.
I'm from white sea coast. Hm, I love "Twin Peaks"
As a Romanian this town looks like an average small Romanian town and I can see the slavic influence to our culture. I'd love to visit Russia one day.
I live in the neighbourhood in Southern Banat, Serbia, and it also looks very much alike any small town in the Pannonian plane here.
When the terrorist has gone.
Love Russian people! I lived in Phangan Thailand for 12. Years where it was majority Russians, and I have to say without doubt You guys are the best people I ever met! So gadI fund this channel!
Dear Eli, Your podcasts about your travels throughout the world are unique. The ones that show Russia are beautiful and breathtaking!!! Thank you for presenting your audience the wonders of your motherland.
This is why I moved to Russia from England as I show in my videos.
As a retired clinical Doctor of Pharmacy, I found your visit to the community pharmacy & the pharmacist very interesting. I noticed the phamacopeia you showed, (in the States it is called the United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary), as well as the sales, weight, etc. Would love to chat with about this for a long time!
My other professional work is in music as a composer, editor and publisher.
Wish you could meet my two Sons! Just fly over for a visit!
Just found your channel and binged so many of your videos. You are a very good and interesting person. Thanks for showing the true Russia that we don't hear in the west!
This is my first video on this channel. Sooo sorry I don't have the time to watch more and learn sth. more about Russia. I was actually googling sth. about this very town- Uriupinsk and that's how I ended up here. 😂
Somebody was acutally searching to find out more this town, believe it or not. Not about Moscow or any big city.
Urupinsk seems charming! Of course, I love goats, small towns and snow. Russia is famous for its natural pharmacopeia, cures from herbs, flowers and mushrooms -- ancient wisdom and chemistry! I do love your travels. I would move my dogs there if it were possible.
You are a great representative for your country, I have always found russia interesting and your videos is very good and they always teach something valuable and new!
Your videos also helps me learn Russian with your interactions with people i hope to visit some day
Urupinsk looks like a pleasant place to live.
The anecdote really is funny and wise. It could be adopted to many countries. Not so well known cities in Russia often have very interesting galeries and museums. And it´s good to see the gentleness and craftsmanship of the people. This video again was a very fine idea. Thank you so much, Eli!
I was sitting with my coffee and scrolling through YT and was thinking -shouldn't Eli's vlog be popping up and... boom, two minutes later - here you are. Always look forward to your SAturday vids.
I find Your channel some hours ago. This was my Your 2. video to watch. 20 h train travel was good too. Good mood videos and interesting. I like Russian language, but I do not understand it. I am Finn.
Была в Урюпинске. Специально ездила. Памятника ещё не было с профессором. Была там в 2016 году. Есть оттуда кружка, майка и магнит на холодильник)
Забыла написать: люди там действительно замечательные. Очень доброжелательные и открытые. Спасибо за видео ❤
My “German from Russia” grandmother was born near Saratov, not too far from Uryupinsk. My dad (her son) became a pharmacist! Just loved this video. The town is beautiful! Looking forward to visiting Russia some day!
Nice anecdote! Most countries have a town that is so ordinary that it represents the whole country. Thank you for taking us to Urupinsk.
I love your videos about Russia. Thank you.
Hi Eli, I think that I saw you very well placed in the auditorium where Vladimir Putin held his speech recently. So you are a recognized person.
I’m British 🇬🇧 and I would love to go to Russia one day, much love to you from me Eli !!
You can start tomorrow, I' m Austrian and have been several times there!
I think I want to go to Mariopol in Donesk and assemble PPVs [bicicles] for people with mobillity issues.

Russia, as part of the genocidal war against Ukraine, seeks to deny the right of the Ukrainian state and people to exist, harbours expansionist illusions that cause destruction.
Russia's blatant threats to other countries and continued blackmail show that Russia is preparing for a much larger and longer-lasting conflict against the democratic world.

@@urrywestWell I'm sure there are plenty of people like that there now.
I started learning English in school with "London is a capital of Great Britain". Love your country since then ❤️
This is a really fun video. I quite enjoyed it. I grew up in the American south. We were always looked at like the people in Urupinsk are there. We just smile and laugh about it. We know the truth and we're okay with being left alone. I now live in the far north of the continental US and it's much the same. We are happy to have big city people leave us alone.
Nice to know this normal russian channel exist
Where ever you move to keep the smile, the red hair and the eye brows
Greetings from Kazan, Russia! Elina, thank you for introducing us to the cities of our big country.
Is it not affordable or feasible for russians to cruise the country?
@@MaxHohenstaufen do you know how big Russia is ?
@@gabrielbakalarz5722Brazil is huge but it's rare to find someone who didn't travel around.
@@vitordelima not as big as Russia . Planet earth is also big place , but not everyone is travelling around
@@gabrielbakalarz5722It's twice as big, but travelling by airplane here used to be very cheap and fast.
Hope one day I can visit Russia 🇷🇺♥️ greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Me Too, Eli makes a Great Tour Guide and Promoter.
Ждём всех)
Eli my read love, you are the best Russian picture....my Sloven soul....
About the same size and climate as my town in Fairbanks, Alaska. Love the town size, wished it has more cool statues like this town...
How many of you long for the time, not so long ago, when towns like this were common in America? Sadly, those days are mostly gone. I'd love to visit Urupinsk, a town which can remind Americans of when their country had not sunk into decadence and extreme behaviors. Thank you Eli, for the brief look at a provincial Russian town.
Yes, this is the unspoken truth in many peoples mind these days, so very sad to see everything people fought and died for being destroyed by the liberals.
What are you talking about, tons of them in the midwest. You know, flyover country.
@@Botoburst this just shows your prejudice and ignorance.
Эли, приезжай в Тамбов! Тоже мемный город, спасибо песне про мальчика и фразе про лучшего товарища)) Может быть, тебе и у нас понравится? Видео, как всегда, шикарное. Ты говоришь на английском, для иностранной аудитории, но и чисто русским людям ты очень многое даёшь понять о том, какая крутая и красивая у нас страна. Я обожаю твой канал:з
Спасибо за теплые слова!
People often forget to visit their own country, i myself left Algeria without ever visiting the Sahara desert which is very beautiful. I hope i can return soon there to correct this.
@@ElifromRussiahello Eli....I am Suraj from India. I want to learn Russian language....but I want to know....that where I can do job in Russia....& How much I can earn as an Indian Russian speaker.
Please.....help🙏❤❤
Eli! I see that you like Russia a lot, and that's why I like you!
Love your travels Eli. Keep it up. Thank you from a retired Irishman retired in Thailand 🇮🇪💚🇷🇺💚🇹🇭
She should definitely visit Ireland. I'm a Serbian but an Irish at heart. There are so many interesting ppl here watching the video about Uriupinsk.
I want to visit Urupinsk! It’s speaking to my heart ❤️ what a beautiful place and people!
Но, очен холодно!
Only in winter! You should wait for summer and it should be just fine :)
@@letsgotowinter more like wait for Putin to exit, permanently.
Greetings from Hamilton Canada ,I appreciate your videos from Russia ,are they so much different to all the hatred propaganda we here on the daily base in our country ,which I apologise in our country behalf . keep up the good work .👍👍👍
Now I want to go to Urupinsk ❤ You know here on the Balkans the situation is unstable for 30 years and the people are exhausted. The last two years there were 12 elections lol. Urupinsk looks romantic, stable and calm. The end music touched my heart.
Thanks to you, Eli, I know the whole of Russia (don't drop the "w"!). I love the way you respect all the places you visit and their inhabitants. Every country has its own "Urupinsk". France had its "Romorantin", but we prefer the fictitious name of "Trifouilly-les-Oies", among others. The USA has its "Podunk", but "Kalamazoo" isn't far behind (both actual place-names).
Glenn Miller "I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo"
I'm from the USA and I like geography, but I didn't know that "Podunk" was actually a real place and not just a word meaning a town in the back of beyond.
I love watching your videos. Really have grown to appreciate the diverse culture, and people. Best wishes from the Eastern Shore of America!
This is why I moved to Russia from England as I show in my videos.
7:50 this is a compounding part of the pharmacy. 👍 In the US compounding pharmacies are separated from "traditional" distribution pharmacies.
Thanks for a other interesting video about the Russian Federation. ❤ from the Netherlands. 😊
Thanks for your video, information and explanations! Have a nice trip in Uriupinsk! 🇮🇹🤗🇷🇺
The ending song was beautiful!
Eli Im comming to Russia
I always look forward to Eli’s latest segments. She is a terrific storyteller. I hope she continues to expand the scope of countries she visits.
This video was Eli's GOAT (greatest of all time)
🐐
Urupinsk. Eli, I'll bet the town is nicer in the Spring.
Much like any other part of Russia.
@@dogetothemoon223 Spring sucks
Eli, for me you are the real Russia!
Cool!! I'm sure gonna go there *this year,* on my planned way to visit the Russian Caucasus places from Your vids.
Spot on facial expressions! Great sense of humor! Love it when you do sketches
About a year ago, you posted a video titled:
Our Life in Russia Under Sanctions.
I think it will be interesting to do a comparative follow-up to that topic now.
It's easy to deflect by saying "oh, I'm not interested in politics"!
But guess what, politics affects us all whether we acknowledge it or live in denial!
It affects kids, the elderly, employment prospects, travel, health-care, everything!
Great idea, especially for April Fool's Day.
There are dozens of videos on YT on that topic, filmed by both Russians and foreigners. There's a new one every week. And not much to tell since the sanctions haven't really affected life within Russia, except by creating many more opportunities for Russian businesses to develop their market share.
Urupinsk looks like a beautiful small city to live in!
I'm an American but I hope to come to Russia!
😼
@@danrichards2554 get a life dude
Just go, you will absolutely love it if you value interesting architecture, nature or whatever, I recommend trying to learn a bit of the language though. Was a bit of a shock for me as I could not communicate and feel a true integration with everything as I wanted to.
@@fatalmokrane small minds make stupid comments.
@@SureNuf I've already studied two years in an online Russian study program.
Эли, мой супруг твой большой фанат. Он баварец. Я сама из Уфы. Родилась и выросла здесь) Ждем новых видео)
❤❤❤ vids
You are a real gem Eli, another top class video. Making interesting video from a small town look so easy for you.
Traveling to so many wonderful places must give you a much better perspective on humanity than those of us who have not traveled as much.
I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks for helping us better understand Russian life.
Hello Eli! Lee in Atlantic City New Jersey happy to see another video of your adventures around the country. These visits to towns and villages and the rural countryside are my favorites. I enjoy learning about the variety of people that are scattered everywhere with their own unique stories and histories. I'm looking forward to seeing you having more interesting moments! Be safe and healthy! 😊👋
I am Tibetan and I like Russian
Best Kept Secrets .... Nice looking Town !
how i wish to live in this place too🙏
I love Urupinsk! The pharmacy shop is the best!
My most loved you tuber channel of Russian
Something about your video seems different than others in a good way but i cant tell what:). Those Russian songs at the end sounded beautiful. Thanks from India.
I thought so too. It comes across as a little deeper and more personal, less polished and more sincere somehow.
Eli you are amazing ! Thanks to you I see Russia. Greetings from Bucharest Romania !
The lady at 4:55 has the MOST beautiful blue eyes!! Wow!
But the hat is too big!
@@fatalmokranethis is a typical fur hat for cold weather in Russia)
@@RimmaSeile yes i know
What a wonderful video. I really did enjoy this.
I'm an Indian professor, now retired. I love Russia from the core of my heart from the days of USSR.
Same I am Indian too I love Russia and China !!! Hopefully we will all progress together
@@roro4787 Along with Iran and North Korea, you can all be the bestest of friends! Sounds positively dreamy.
@@TMMReznorRussia is a member of the BRICS , where most of the world 's population lives .
Thank you for sharing and caring to share, this province reminds me a lot of where I do live in Canada at least the nature and snow are the same, everything else looks so much better
this is due to it being very different as well
Very nice . . . all the coloured houses reminds me of the fishing villages in Newfoundland. Cheers.
Hi Elina. Thank you for sharing this interesting city of Russia, it looks like the time stopped over there. Regards from Sydney ☺️
Thanks to your videos the whole world has the chance to know Russia and its places better. Unfortunately, Russia is still depicted in a wrong way in many places around the world, and many people judge by stereotypes. You’re doing an excellent job on showing what Russia is actually like, I’m from Italy and I’m discovering so many beautiful places to visit besides Saint Petersburg and Moscow. I’ve always wanted to visit the Urals, Siberia and Daghestan, but because of you I’m adding so many places to the list! I hope the political situation settles soon, and that we can all live in peace, together, for a better world. Sending love from Rome. 🫂❤️☮️
Interesting to see that when you asked people why the city is good to live they stop to think about. This mean that even them don't know why is really good to live there.
Nice city, it's a bit like my hometown in Italy: Voghera, a sort of stereotypical average town that represents the provinces but in the end the quality of life is good.
What's the title of the song in the end?
Take care! bye

Move to Winnipeg Eli. Lots of frozen lakes for swimming and Ukrainians. AND ME.
That was so great! I just love your videos. 😅 That sled slide is awesome! Russian humor is so great!😊
I was really expecting to see Eli on that sled slide.
@screddot7074 oh, definitely
Loving that lady folksinger in the end!
Thankyou grats!
lol that wasn’t a folksong
Uryupinsk looks like a true heartland of Russia! Good job, Eli!
Unless you forgot to show us the slums, this is one of the most beautiful and well-kept villages I’ve seen.
Your eyes are wonderfully expressive, mainly with humour anc fun. You are a perfect ambassador.
For years I’ve traveled all around the United States, visiting small towns, and even in Europe, but I have to say this one is probably the most unique
Thank you for the quality of your videos. I was left with a very different perspective of the Russia I imagined. Thanks for that too. Greetings from Portugal.
Very cute
I admire the people of Stalingrad or Volgagrad. They withstood long long Seizure by the Hitler.
How much does Putin pay you?

THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU SUPPORT AND HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED PUTIN'S LIBERTICIDAL AND TYRANNICAL REGIME.
YOU HAVE ALWAYS JUSTIFIED AND JUSTIFIED THE INVASION OF UKRAINE.
YOU ONLY SELFISHLY EXPLOIT THE WEAKNESS AND NAIVETE OF THE WEST.
YOU HAVE THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS ON YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS.
I am an Indian living in a place COORG, also called Scotland of India ( google Coorg and know ) ..
I always love good Russians.
you are one of them.
excellent presentation
You are one of my best you tubers..
thank you Eli for this beautiful video❤
Video editing is very good gives an immersive feel to the places.

I saw that as well and thought it was genius.
Great content from your side!
Contniue with this work, introducing Russia to all of us!
I liked chemistry. I was really good at rational synthesis. I had fun with organic chemistry. I loved that class.
Me too!!!🙂
So Urupinsk is a low-key town visited by a low-key Eli, but it still is an interesting part of life. You have a gift Elina!
When I was in Moscow at a market, I bought some of these goat fluff gloves and hats for gifts, very soft and warm; thanks for sharing!! The music towards the end was excellent also! Can you link the artist?
