    I have lived in Thailand for more than 17 years now. We only have two seasons here -- hot with sun and hot with rain. I really miss real seasons. I lived in the mountains in New Mexico, U.S.A., and loved the snow there every winter. Perm is exactly how I imagine Russia in the winter and makes me want to visit someday in December or January. Love your videos always.

Three years in Charlotte, US, six years in Chicago USA and one year in Nashville, USA which all have seasons. Married a girl from SARATOV 12 years ago and we now live in the UK. Loved my visits to Russia, train travel and the people. The weather here is considered mild and Brits don't handle snow very well. Like you said you need the right clothes. Happy Travels.

    I once had the pleasure of landing during a 3 day blizzard in Moscow. My hotel was in Ismailova. I arrived 10 am in the morning and finally got to Partizansky metro station about 7 pm. Traffic was horrid. I remember struggling with my baggage through drifts of snow 3 feet deep to the hotel Gamma. Halfway there I noticed some street dogs watching me from a sheltered entrance to a store. I wondered if they were laughing at me, feeling sorry or wondering if they should finish me off in an act of mercy.
    I still love Russias winters, They're the real thing. I recommend anyone to go experience one.

    Hello Eli, I just discovered your channel. I am a former civil servant and educator who just recently retired. I am from the USA. I live in the State of Kansas. Kansas is very flat and over 90% of the land is used for agriculture. Much like the steppe in your country. Our winters are not as cold as yours. But we do get cold days here. But it gets to 40 Celsius or more in the summertime. When schools get cancelled due to too much snow or extreme cold. Our children do the same thing as your children do. I learned German as a boy from my elder relatives who were of German heritage. I learned Spanish in University. This is the most useful Non English language in America. Particularly if your work for the government or you are an educator. You have a wonderful channel. Take care.

    Greetings Eli, my lovely distant cousin. Many years ago I worked at an ice cream factory, where the storage warehouse was kept at a constant -35¯C. One Friday afternoon a team from the local university arrived, with all their equipment, for 60 hours of training, camping in the deep frozen warehouse from Friday until Monday morning, in preparation for their upcoming Antarctic expedition. To put this in perspective, I grew up in a part of Australia where +18¯C is considered cold. When the participants emerged from the freezer on Monday morning, the looks on their faces said that maybe some of them were having second thoughts about Antarctica. But it's true, frozen air is always fresh because there is zero humidity, all the moisture has fallen to the ground.

    Regarding learning languages, I would like to share my experience with Russian and Italian. I learned Russian the hard way, without the computer. After many years I still could not speak in Russian. But many years later I still remember everything that I learned in Russian. With Italian it was different, I learned it by teaching, by going with my class through the book and I was ahead two chapters, studying first myself, then teaching it to the small group. I was able to speak Italian after 6 months. I was almost fluent. However, after I left Italy and never used the language, I completely forgot what I learned. Now I know the benefit of hard work: it stays longer in our head if we put more effort during the learning process.

    Great video! A wonderful look at a distant people. Here in Southern California the seasons don’t really change, and by that I mean the scenery stays about the same. It will get a little greener for a bit in the spring and in the winter the mountains get snow capped but other then that very little change. The temperature is the biggest change, alternating in winter from just below freezing (30F/-1C) to, (and depending where you are) brutally hot (115F/46C) in the summer. I actually live a short drive from Death Valley so I guess you could say we are almost the opposite in climates, you get really cold and we get really hot. I very much like the cold more, you can always put more cloths on to get warm, and like my Grandma used to say; “You don’t want to see me if I have to take enough stuff off!”. I love traveling and it would be an interesting experience to visit to experience the Legendary Russian Winter. Likewise if you ever visit SoCal in the summer, send me a message and I’ll gladly give you a few pointers on surviving the Heat! Stay Warm, Stay Safe, and Stay Wonderful!

      In most part Russia it is not an extreme cold, but usual weather in winter. When I was a child I was playing hockey and walking with my friends in such weather.

    I grew up in cold and ice skating - we learned to skate really young using a chair for balance. Very fond memories of growing up next to a lake where we could skate almost every day. Now... I live in a very warm state - never snows - and I love it. Now that I am older, I don't tolerate the cold well. So amazing those people working all day in an outdoor market when it is that cold.l

    My favorite season here? Spring. In the summer it gets over 45C in the daytime and 32C at night. In the spring, the weather is beautiful and temperatures are in the mid 20s C. If we get rains, we also have many wildflowers and the desert changes colors because of it.

    I love this video, Eli! It makes one want to visit Perm, even with the cold weather! By the way (you may already know this), one of the greatest female Chess players of all time was born in Perm: Alexandra Kosteniuk 😊 She was the Women's World Chess Champion from 2008-2010; she also won the Women's Rapid World Chess Championship in 2021 in Warsaw (so she's still an active player). She has won many other titles and medals. (Her sister, Oxsana / Oksana, is also a strong Chess player, "Master" rated, I believe.) I think Alexandra moved to Moscow when she was little. Even so, it might be fun to do a research video about the Chess culture of Perm and reflect on the great player who was born there. (I know there is a "Perm University Chess Club" that has many accomplishments.) Best wishes always from California, USA, Eli! 🐴

    When I became a vegetarian, there's a thing I noticed, when you eat meat, your body will use a lot of energy to proccess that, so you may feel more warm, but you'll feel tired more easily, in the other hand, when you eat only green things, you may feel more cold than others, plus if you drink hot things too much (soup, tea) you may got a stomach fever, here on Brazil, eating only green things helps me to pass the summer without that feeling that I'm in a oven
    Anyway, it's nice to see that even on cold winter, people may live as usual there, because here where I live if temperature raises a little, people already start thinking to go to the beach, even if it's a work day

    • @HelenaRey

      You're right. The Russian winter is harsh, so here the ideas of veganism are utter stupidity or a diet necessity for a disease.
      We need extra "protein-fat calories", and Brazil needs "vegetables coolness" ;-)))

    The coldness depends not only on the temperature, but also on wind & moisture. Even -5 degrees can feel really cold if it is windy.
    The city feels very alive, and you clearly got good public transport with terminal and people waiting for the bus. Quite nice!

    Very nice video of a winter day with interviews. Loved those floating labels - seems to be a new video technique added to your skillet.
    When I started learning Polish and Lithuanian, the thing I discovered most is how little I understood the structure of my native English language which made conjugations all the more challenging. For instance, the first time I saw "genitive case", I thought, "what on earth is that?" 🥴

    Yeah, it's always fun when I'm talking to people and they say when they were off skiing or whatever that they were in cold weather of such and such, and then I tell them the coldest temperature I was ever in was -48 C: going outside to get my mail from my mailbox, lol. You're pretty heavily dressed up there for -19! For those of you not familiar with cold, here is a guide (in Celsius):
    -5 a bit chilly
    -10 this is when you start to have problems with humidity in your home, ice will form on the inside of your windows, even with double-glazing, so you have to lower the RH (have a bath in lukewarm water to hydrate your skin, can't be hot otherwise it will evaporate too quickly)
    -15 this is when you really start to feel it outside, things start to get difficult
    -23 this is the temperature of a walk-in freezer; skin freezes on contact with air after five minutes
    -35 water vapour freezes immediately on contact with air (at least imx), time to turn on the block heater and you have to be super careful when you touch the steering wheel (wear gloves). Drinks in the drink holder turn into slushies
    -45 painful to breath, immediately feel the inside of your lungs
    I remember talking to a guy who grew up in a mining camp in the Yukon. He was telling me a story about how one day he was going to school in -60 and the axle on his dad's pickup truck snapped in the cold and they were stranded for over an hour, and I was like, "you were going to school in -60?"

    Another great video, I am surprised sodium acetate pouches are not popular. They have a liquid inside a little bag, and a small thin solid piece to start the reaction. the liquid turns to solid while it gives out heat (maybe 45C) for an hour or more in a pocket. Regenerate in hot water and it turns back to liquid and is reusable.

    I lived in Northern Michigan for 12 years. Not quite as cold as Perm…. although snowmobiling requires really warm clothing when it’s -20° and going 45km/h. We were very accustomed to cold weather. And like you… I love all the 4 seasons… they all have their specialness and beauty.

      ​@@rjimeson1 My family has lived in Michigan since 1870. All of them lived in Charlevoix County. I've known many people who have moved to other states including Florida and often they move back to Michigan. The biggest issue for most was they never felt "welcome" wherever they moved to or missed Michigan's seasons.
