You are not credible.
Your father is now in good company with thousands of dead Russians and Ukrainians...
You are not credible.
You speak five languages, you are good, you are sensitive. Very good.
In all these years, not a word against the war...
You are not credible.
You talk about Russian culture.
What appears today is only culture of death...
You are not credible.
Autocracy, repression, censorship, torture and no outrage, only silence...
You are not credible.
Indiscriminate bombing, rape, looting, energy blackmail, economic and global destabilisation...
You are not credible.
But you are Russian...
This is not politics.
It is humanity.
And those who read you know it.
You are not credible.
Children murdered, deported, old men and women refugees in foreign lands, with nothing left...
You are not credible.
Lies, propaganda, lies again, false motives, interests and justifications for an unprovoked and unjustified 'special military operation'...
You are not credible.
Nuclear threats, continuous violations of signed international agreements, violence, and more violence, despite international appeals...
You are not credible.
It is not politics.
It is terrorism, it is terrible, it is war.
You are Russians...
It is not politics.
You are not credible.
You travel, monetizing and live serene and detached, you celebrate and are happy as if nothing happened.
You are not credible.
Thousands of Putin's willing executioners...
It is only a culture of fear and death.
And you, otherwise, belong to it and support it...
Top quality broadcast ready excellent content.
Beautifully shot, edited and constructed.
Thankyou for braving the extreme cold at the high costs incurred.
Thanks again Elina for yet another superlative mini-documentary detailing your travels. Beautifully shot, cleverly edited, always just long enough to leave us wanting more. The snow & ice sculpture segment was stunning. Hope to see more from your channel soon, as each video gets better and better. I hope one day you will come from your 🇷🇺 (largest nation) and explore my 🇨🇦 too (2nd largest). As always, I wish you health, happiness and continued success in all your endeavours! 💐💐💐 Cheers!!!
My question is would you like join me in AFRICA ? In this summer time , I show you one of the hottest place of the planet (Djibouti ) .
I do admire you Eli to get in that ice pool !!! I would freeze in contact !!!
Clean carpet in the train wagon. No graffiti.
Amazing art in the museum....
And you Eli, are one of Russia's best ambassadors.
I from a small town in the Southern part of French Louisiana, U.S.A. a mom of 2 grown children, somewhere around Eli’s age. Probably the furthest thing from the world she lives in, and I find her videos beautiful, entertaining, informative, enlightening, and Pure! Thank you Eli for sharing your beautiful country, culture and life with me.
Such a smart & humble host. Mind blown in almost every video. I love how Eli allows us to see her process.
Eli has shown us places and people we would never of known if it wasn't for her tireless work. The editing is top notch.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot 🥹🙏🏻
The Russian regime never skimp on propaganda.
The Russian regime does not skimp on propaganda. I wonder how many nice comments are fake 😜
The regime in Moscow does not skimp on propaganda.
@salad7776 Good Eli does NOT speak for evil Putin. Eli is kind and beautiful. Putin is an evil monster. Slava Ukraini!
Greetings from California! You always show the world how big and beautiful Russia is… and how there are so many differences inside of Russia! Thanks 🙏
Yes, Russia is beautiful, it has one disadvantage, there are very few warm regions . And there are no regions with eternal summers like in California at all , there are many long winters .Russia is for the most part a northern country
@@user-hy3dv5wh1z Well, if you want to read about California winters, seek the story of the Donner Party 😬
Thank you ELi, we really appreciate you and for showing us the beauty of your wonderful country,
From the architectural splendor of St. Petersburg to the frozen charm of Kirovsk, truly breathtaking scenery... when UA-cam starts giving awards for cinematography and filmmaking by UA-camrs, this video should definitely be in the running for top prize! Спасибо!
Marvelous video. Thank you for sharing.
С прошедшим днём рождения тебя! Здоровья, счастья, успехов, любви!
😊 Grüße aus Deutschland!
Russia looks so interesting. Your choice of music is excellent and the people you interview are fascinating. Great to see you teaming up with other ladies to travel. Love from South Africa.
Love Eli's adventures - so happy for you to be able to enjoy so many wonderful and interesting locations in beautiful Russia!!
I love watching your adventures. You show us places I only dream to go to. Since I am 70 dreaming is all that is left. For you my dear don’t ever stop exploring.
don't let age hold you back! I am older than you and preparing our next offroad trip to the Kola pensinsula
You're never too old! I'm 73 and want to travel to Russia.
@@richardseitz5235 It is not age, but mainly health that holds a person back from traveling - unfortunately. That's why these videos are enjoyable, you can travel with them anywhere.
I wouldn't touch russia with a 1000ft pole as long as the bare-chested leningrad judoka/bird guider is at the helm.
@user-su5cm1kh9n Are you speaking of Vladimir Vladimirovich? Are you done? Fully vented? He is, in my opinion, the greatest statesman of the 21st century, but you are free to drink the US/NATO Kool-aid and continue ranting mindlessly. I love 🇷🇺 and Russians. Try to prepare yourself for the coming multi-polar world!
The scupltures are amazing. Such artists are hard to find these days. Fire and ice is magic. Thank you for showing this.
You have my full support Eli! Sending lots of love to Russia from France
Your presentations are always brilliant and show that we are all just people trying to live and survive with some joy mixed in. Politicians make us enemies. You make us friends.❤
the fire dancers at the ice sculptures was my favorite part. the ice bath made my teeth hurt😅
She made a good choice of music to put with the fire dancing.
Such a lovely video showing the richness of Russian culture... Hugs from Brazil
To think, before your channel Eli, I did not know such exquisite Russian cultural beauties existed. The snow and ice sculptures were absolutely astounding! (Those ice baths you take, when I refuse. to take a cold shower🤭).
Your channel is WOW. Just. WOW..Спасибо💐
I have really enjoyed watching your personal documentaries. You have a lovely attitude and energy that makes your subjects respond in a similar way. I hope you can continue doing this work for a long time to come.
Happy Birthday Eli 🎉🥳! The spirit that allows humans to be happy in harsh elements is strong and beautiful. Thanks for visiting and showing us more of this amazing planet and people that inhabit it.
Every train ride in Russia is like an awesome adventure,in UK only about 4 hours on a train will get you mostly to where you might want to go.
The cinematography, the effort you put in your videos especially the visuals & commentary...it's absolutely unmatchable...
Спасибо за то, что до нас дошел такой красивый контент, Эли. ❤
Eli keep up a good job!
The aerial shot of you in the arctic ocean was breathtaking it was as always a wonderful video,
Thank you Eli
When ocean ice freezes there is almost no salt left in it.
Happy Birthday, Eli. This Arctic adventure is your birthday gift to all of us. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🎉

I love ur arctic videos the best,something we never see in England.Keep making ur videos x
Earth is so beautiful ❤️
So many people would have never seen these amazing places if it hadn't been for you, Eli! Thank you so much! Love and greetings from Bulgaria! Everytime I watch your extraordinary videos with so much pleasure! Спасибо и удачи Вам!
Years ago I travelled to Russia and fell in love with the country, it saddens me so much now how events in the world mean our nations are supposedly not "friends". I pray for the day the world can be lead by adults and I can go and visit Russia again. Thanks for the wonderful videos Eli, love from England.
I understand what you mean. As a US citizen, I do not allow the government to choose my friends. I remain a friend to the people I know, no matter where they live. We aren't responsible for the government we have, only our one vote.
The fact is that people who rule your government are not adults.
@@jacqueline1150 And people who govern us are mostly, if I can use a Scot's dialect word that has a double meaning-"baloons"!
@gordonbryce - Balloons.
@@De5O54 Yes, if you someone is a balloon in the Scots dialect of English-it means he/she is a very stupide person even although they might think they are clever!
Eli, First of all I am so sorry you lost your dad. My favorite video you did was the visit to him, the cat who didn’t want to get his paws frozen and of course the visit to the dairy. I too was raised on a dairy farm. Your content is beautiful, the scenery, the interaction with the locals and in this current the music selection was wonderful. We, the common people, must find a way to tell our governments that we want to live together in peace and end this constant distrust between our peoples. The Russian people are a good people and through your videos I have come to realize that we have so much in common and it’s time to use those commonalities to promote peace and harmony. Your are a beautiful person and have a beautiful soul. Continue your travels and your videos. Know that you are making a difference in your efforts. Bart
People to people contact is only a beginning. The problem of war is resident mainly in the attitudes of the armaments industry because they profit the most, at billions and now trillions of dollars. With them the bankers and the oil companies. Also construction companies who make so much cleaning up the debris and rebuilding cities. Until the big money guys are kept under control as to their greed for money, we the little people will have to continue being victimized by that greed. Holding hands and thinking sweet thoughts isn't good enough.
Again, a great and warm-hearted story, a great video ‘tickling awake’ the best side of our human existence. How beautiful life can be. Great to see that there are all these lovely and peaceful people everywhere on this planet, hidden behind all the ugliness and cruelty that we hear and see in the news every day. This video should be shown instead. It radiates so much positivity and gives hope, that we can really get to a new level of maturity in our human society.
AS AN AFRICAN MAN I DREAM OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION VISIT THANKS TO YOU ELI
you would be sent as a "volunteer" in the russian military. Not sure if it's a good dream to have.
Very interesting and fun. Greetings from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘
Eli has GREAT videos. Very educational and NO politics.
Please You Tube do not shadow ban.
After sauna, ice bath and maybe swimming and thereafter back sauna and You are feeling like rebirth! I known it! Maybe some vodka after that in small amount! Gr. from Finland!
This was one of your best videos. I love when you visit the northern parts of Russia, it's so beautiful.
A very beautiful informative video Eli. Thank you to you and friends!
Thank you too!
St Petersburg. Beautiful. Respect from an Irishman 🇮🇪💚🇷🇺

What do you believe ?
Do you think you keep promoting fierce and cruel Russia, as if nothing is happening ?
What are these pseudo tourist-cultural videos?
Who are you trying to fool, besides yourself ?
But don't you have a civil conscience? A soul? Even if dead?
Poor Nikolai Vasil'evič Gogol'
Yet you have traveled in the West, your account refers to Italy....
A country that welcomes thousands of Ukrainian refugees, women, children, and poor people fleeing a senseless war led by your country.
Do you feel no shame?

Thank you for sharing these incredible sights. Gorgeous scenery. ✌️💙
Eli I ❤ the way you speak English perfect intonation & your friends are lovely ❤
Спасибо. Очень интересно. И снято красиво.
This video could have been called: The Three Musketeers! A wonderful uplifting video. Made my day.
The scenery was stunning, and the ice sculpture is really beautiful. It looks calming and appealing, and I can imagine how enjoyable it was to be there.
Thanks for sharing, Eli. ❤️
Carry on with the good work✌️
Love from Bangladesh.💛
You been making a great effort to show Russia like no other, thank you so much
I like learning about the different regions and cities in Russia. From me it's interesting and fun to see. Thanks for the work Eli.
Every single time it is getting better and better and You are becoming "professional"! Love it, Thank you
Thank you too!

The thing about Russia is that you don't even know if hoping for a revolution is worthwhile, as what comes next could be incredible worse than the current situation.
A society that has failed at every level...

Make the ice of the north melt with the warmth of your soul! Thank you!
Thank you we always look forward to your next documentary you are the best❤
EDIT::; I must say I am shocked by your orange suits and how amazing they are this is incredible you are floating on the ice this is crazy awesome thank you Miss Ellie for showing us things that we would never see!!!!!!!
I am from Idaho and here we have the "McCall Winter carnival" each year we have too have competition to make ice sculptures .🖐️
I would love to see this video in a Winter Film Festival that celebrates winter! It's relatively short and could be watched outside while enjoying hot beverages or maybe inside a ski lodge.
Hello Eli I am from Pakistan, l here in Pakistan travel Russia with you.... New awesome places
The sleeping train looks so cozy! We have similar older trains in Finland, but now unfortunately mostly newer "modern" trains have replaced them. I was lucky to sleep one time in that older train 😊
Это современный, двухэтажный поезд Санкт- Петербург- Мурманск
I’m rewatching this video and the mix of beautiful nature immersed in such a beautiful music makes me super emotional. Thanks a lot for this.
Fantastic report, great job Eli, thanks ❤
My favorite video from you. I am beginning to agree that the arctic is a place for romantics and very interesting places and people. Thank you.
The quality of your videos is incredible! As always, thank you for showing us Russia as no one ever did. You’re doing such an amazing job. Greetings from Italia🇮🇹
Thanks Eli, for sharing with us, a new perception of Russia... I must say, you know how to sell the beauty of your country. Спасибо за вашу работу и страсть.
Eli, you show us the Russian soul. Got bless Russia and Got bless you! ❤🙏
the Russian soul was best visible in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol, Bakhmut, is that not enough for you?
@@salad7776Can you stop with that bs, everyone knows who destroyed those cities. This is not a political channel.
@@minime7375 the inhabitants of those cities destroyed themselves, as we all know; and this channel is so nice and shows how cool the inhabitants of the evil empire are
@@salad7776 please we had enough with the white propaganda stpd media brainwashing its cult , do us a favour and remove your Subscription , i swear no one want to hear any of your neonazis bs right now 🤦♂️
@@salad7776 Sorry m8, not gonna bother with you, you sound unhinged.
So happy to see you again Eli!
Балдеть!!! incredible video. Amazing ice sculptures. You inspire me to see these parts of Russia. Not often talked about or displayed. Thank you for raising awareness to these beautiful communities
I love your video's! At the same time: I really hate cold weather! Watching your stuff I freeze inside 😀 Good luck making good content!
Just want to leave the comment here. Greetings for beautiful Russia from Sydney.
Amazing Eli! the Russian Arctic around Kirovsk is so beautiful with an interesting history and people. It would be interesting to see and hear from the local Sami people too! I still can`t believe you and your friends snow and ice bath! Unbelievable!. I liked your trip to the northern Urals with your friends too! Good luck to you and friends in your travels. Keep well and stay safe. John lampe,sunny Perth, Western Australia.
That intro alone is amazing omg. It’s so crazy to imagine that, even in the remotest of places, there are people just having fun
That building in St. Petersburg! Amazing
Romantic places push us to chase our dreams
Why is that ?
Happy birthday Eli
Another wrap around

Day Hurray that you were born!
You make the very best videos. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
Dear Eli , this was also gift for us . Some regions in Russia that you visit are really mesmerizing . Wish you all the best ...
Какая красивая картинка всегда😊
Thanks for making such interesting videos, and I think you're very brave going to such remote places and swimming in icy water. Lots of love from North wales!
Eli you brave, courageous adventuring pioneer. Your videography is exceptional. Continue your exceptional work. I don't feel like you're being censored. Your videos always appear front and center for me. Which I gladly appreciate. Thank you. Looks like you're fit
The sculptures were just magnificent, so much talent!❤
Dear Eli, many congratulations on this last podcast ! You have reassured me that we British no longer have the monopoly of eccentricity !! Please continue, I really enjoy your work.
Beautiful place,keep it up @ElifromRussia

Thnx from North West Canada - love the sound of the train in winter. Russia/the Soviets (sorry, can't tell who did what) developed their north much differently than Canada did - very interesting to compare them. And for your descriptions of the land & water & people.
Fascinating, as always. Liked hearing the Emperor's Walz in the beginning. Always so informational.
Emperor's Waltz is Strauss from Austria. This music is Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky from Russia, part of the Nutcracker ballet. ua-cam.com/video/xG44aSmkCOU/v-deo.html
This is "Waltz of the Flowers" by Tchaikovsky 😊
another wonderful video ,thank you Eli from Ian in London UK
Hi Elli. Your channel is superb, a different experience every time. Ironically, through such troubled times, I feel that a window has been opened to your country for the 🌎 to see. It's many cultures, natural beauty, and the people have had exposure, and one can feel a lot of inspiration and enlightenment emanating from your side of the woods... A lot more than most Russians would be aware! Your channel adds to that, amongst a plethora of other reasons! 👍🏼Big up the bear 🐻 with the Red hair... From Britain 🇬🇧
You never disappoint !! 🎉Amazing what is going on in one region compared to others.😮
Eli - you are such an excellent teacher! Thank you.
For myself it's still a big no on extreme temperatures in either direction. However, Eli is so talented at showing the otherworldly beauty of places like this, I'm sure she is inspiring a lot of people to pack a check bag full of cold weather gear. 🥶
Awfully great video, Eli! You girls rock!
Eli!!! 👏👏👏🥇✌🏻🫶
Shall we Dance to the Waltz ? Beautiful Music To Listen to . The Sights are Wonderful and Breathtaking to See Them . At Time's I get a little Cold Just Watching . BRRRRR . There is Much Joy to Behold in what You Do . Thank you for Sharing with Us on How we can do more for You . Manny Whishes For You Always .
Excellent! Khorosho. Spasibo

Anterior of the building is too beautiful 😍❤️
Eli you are a real super hero.
Thank you for yet another amazing video Eli!
Please never stop.
I've always heard that Russians were crazy living in all that snow,ice and cold lands,but now I've seen it with my own eyes,and they're batchit certifiable !!! BRRRRRRRRR!!! 😆 Eli and her gfs are insane,and hott to go ice swimming above the actic circle,and polar plunging in an ice fishing hole!!
