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.
I like the Russian kid skating around with a hockey stick and slap shotting the puck against the wall, that was cool. Hopefully he has more kids to play hockey with.
Grew up in Canada & do not recall a cold day/snow day out of school even at 40 below F. Live in Texas now and we get 3 to 5 days of winter a year, and that makes these old bones happy.
Enjoy your videos. I grew up in the UK until I was 15 years old and I lived in Miami USA for 37 years where there are no differences in the seasons. 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.
Aku menonton video ini lagi, di saat mengeluh cuaca di Indonesiaaaa beberapa tahun terakhit ini sangat panassss😭😭😭 Matahari tanpa diskon gaesss, ada 10 🌞nya😭... sumuk pol2an😭 Bless you, all russian❤
Being Canadian,I can relate. As kids, we didn't have cold days at school, but did have snow days where we had so much snow vehicles had trouble moving. Us kids, always went out to play hockey after cleaning the ice or building snow forts.
being the students of perm university, i experienced perm winter 🥶🥶, its sooo cold , but meanwhile its so fun in -30 celcius ☺️, and love winter season , love Eli for this beautiful video, lot's of love for Diana 😘 from India
My first time experiencing such cold temperatures was a couple of days ago. I'm on a Snowboarding trip and I'm sleeping in a camper van (an ice storm hit the middleof the U.S.)... a few days ago I woke up and it was -29* Celsius 🥶. I put my food and water inside of a cooler to keep them from freezing 🧊... it's crazy 🤪! But I'm loving it 🏂 ❄🏔🌨
Thank you for introducing your family and your home city of Perm. it is certainly very cold there, but everybody loves the winter and the cold. It is amazingly beautiful.
School is only cancelled here if roads are unsafe b/c of snowfall or if there is freezing rain and it's unsafe. We have school in -36 Celsius. I'm in Canada btw. I love autumn because the leaves change colours, air is crisp and cold. It is just great.
Wonderful to see the children laughing, and playing outside, even in the cold. So precious! I grew up on a farm in northeast Wisconsin. We have cold winters in the Upper Midwest, but as you say, the secret is several layers of comfortable clothing. I have been studying the book series, “Russian for Dummies”. I will investigate Rosetta Stone, as you suggest. I enjoy autumn the best; lower humidity, and the mosquitoes go away. Please know your bright spirit can warm-up even the coldest day. Health and prosperity for you. ❤️🇷🇺
I just started to learn Russian kind of as a hobby. I don't know much yet, but it is nice to be able to understand some phrases and words. It is surely a language that we hardly get exposed to here in Europe.
Being a Brazilian guy myself I find it most amazing. I've never any snow in my life and probably never will. This cold weather would be deadly to me. Anyway, Eli, you're a very beautiful woman! I love you.
Eli thanks again, for your explorations of the cold (I used to live in Alaska = Аляска) I really appreciate it. I think you are doing more to ease East/West tensions than all the politicians combined.
Please stop Russian people killing innocent women and children in Ukraine...you need to change your principles and to stop the russian army firing at women and children. The russians need to stand up and stop the war. Otherwise i will get in my car from Ireland and drive to ukraine as a woman to also stand up against the russian war
On the east coast of Canada where i lived till i was 30 it gets cold, the lakes freeze, quite often lots of snow, 4 seasons, an average of -10c in winter, 30c in summer, now i live on the west coast of Canada and we don't have much snow, no lakes freeze, 2 seasons, rainy in winter, little rain in summer, 5c average winter, 22c in summer, i do miss all the winter fun outside from the east coast, now i want to move to Sochi lol
Hello from Rhode Island USA we enjoy your videos on life in Russia my 14 year old daughter was born in Novokuznetsk we enjoy learning about life in Russia we haven’t been since 2019 hope to come back this year thanks Paul
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.
i am from india; living in usa; america. i have bacome your fan from last 3 months ; watched many vdo. your vdo r simple; down to earth speak and describe in simple language and realistic
I like what you said. Dress in layers because if the skin is exposed you will "freeze something off"! Maybe that is why you did not try on the bras. I don't mind the cold but I don't like snow. Then you are wet and cold! Prem is nice and I would love to visit, such nice decorations with ice. I thought Russians would go out when it's cold. You guys are used to it. Just another day in Russia... Thanks for the tour.
Hi, Eli! Despite the Winter cold, your warmth always shines through, I love your channel. My wish for 2022, is that love and understanding will increase between the people of America and Russia.
I grew up in BC Canada in a small town where it got very cold in winter and we had lots of snow. We tobogganed, ice skated, built igloos and snow dogs, so many things. In summer it got quite hot and spring and fall were beautiful. It seems much like Perm. I love the seasons and would not like to live where there was fewer.
Thank you for risking the freezing cold to give us more interesting knowledge of Russia. You are strong! We appreciate your work. But always take care. Put yourself first and don't take risks you don't need to take. Here, in England, winters are milder than they used to be. We don't see snow so often. It is good that you keep comfortable and warm. And it's also good to see happy healthy children enjoying themselves. Keep warm always and thank you for doing what you do for us.
Maine, U.S.A. can be very cold and snowy. I am a teacher and my school was cancelled today due to dangerous road conditions. I live an hour away from school and most of our students live in rural areas so they have long bus rides each day. We will have to make this day up in the summer.
I was blessed with a love of languages early from my mom who was born in Russia. One of the first languages that i learned other than Russian and English was Spanish. It has opened so many doors for me personally and professionally that I couldnt imagine how my life would be without knowing it. Language has NEVER been something negative and will always open doors for you too! I’m a summer guy. It snowed here in Texas and is 27 degrees right now which is cold enough for me. Sorry!

The russians need to stand up and stop the war. Otherwise i will get in my car from Ireland and drive to ukraine as a woman to also stand up against the russian war
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.
That year round market is awesome, and that lady with the vest had some big boots for big socks that are key to toe survival. Thank you fun to watch video.
Your hosting is informative, undramatized, open minded, and progressive. I'm glad to get this honest window into a complex country most often represented narrowly and fictitiously in the States
Hi I am Catherine from Brussels in Belgium. Here we have same weather all year ( around 10 C). I would like real seasons like in Russia! Thank you for the video.
Exercising is easy in winter ... get out the snow shovel. Always hope we don't have a 60 inch snow fall in late spring ever again. The kids learning to ice skate was precious ... 'n your niece will grow into the pink ice skates. A bottle of die will work on the pick, or better yet your nephew don't care and just enjoys ice skating. Take care, stay warm and don't get caught having too much fun Eli.
Eli great video and your red hair is beautiful, 😍, learning other languages and travel really does open up everyones world. The Russian people just get on with life no matter what the weather, here in the uk if there is snow people think that the world is coming to a end!!. Russia looks beautiful
When this type of environment is yours everyday life, then here in Bangladesh🇧🇩 we dream a day in this icy environment!! The cafe, the road, the market everywhere this icy vibe is just beautiful!!
Your nephew is the next Pavel Bure ! -22 C, 30, 40 ... I can't even imagine how that should feel. I believe -10 with a windchill is the coldest i ever experienced. I love winter, the dark hours and the cold, fresh air. The best ! Better than summer.
Dear Eli you are a very special and highly intelligent person bringing great warmth and understanding to your very informative videos about life in Russia, I do hope we can all end up being much closer to one another as friends, keep up the good work, I am sure that all the people in the UK wish the same.
I still remember that feeling being there in Perm... with your video, it flashed all the best moments when I was there. People are hospitable and extremely polite... my only downside is I cannot speak Russian so only few I managed to talked with. Kudos to your videos, love it!!!
Here in Thailand we have warm to hot weather most of the year. Our "winter" time is now, almost finishing. But if you come here in "winter" you will be shocked, because it is like your summer! Many Russians love coming to Thailand.
It's amazing seeing people especially young children playing, working and having fun outside in freezing conditions. Previously i thought people would stay inside in extreme cold. Moreover,I also love to live at a place with changing weathers. We have all five weathers at Lahore, Pakistan.
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.
Learn English change my life because many opportunities in all matters but learning Russian language changed my life perspective, values and personal life. I will test that app for Russian language and to learn Swedish. Thank you! I love your videos!!!
The cold seems to make the guys grumpy, but the ladies seem to like the winter season and are very content.The children are the happiest of all though.
The coldest capitol city of any country in the world is Ottawa, Canada. I live in Toronto; I went to Saigon in February eight years ago for my son's wedding where it was 35C, when I came back to Toronto it was -35C here.
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!
🇦🇺 Difficult to imagine living in that sort of cold but thank you for showing the world that Russians are normal people just like the rest of the world. If we could get rid of our politicians maybe we could all just live in peace.
It's fun going from a QLD summer to a Ural winter at New Year. You quickly get used to it as long as you dress appropriately. The worst thing is ice forming on my moustache.
Please stop Russian people killing innocent women and children in Ukraine...you need to change your principles and to stop the russian army firing at women and children. The russians need to stand up and stop the war. Otherwise i will get in my car from Ireland and drive to ukraine as a woman to also stand up against the russian war
Oh yes. Russia in the refrigerator. Today in Hungary it is +8 Celsius, in winter the average is around -20 Celsius. We haven't seen any heavy snow in 10 years.
There isn't anything more beautiful than winter with snow. Cold weather just makes coffee and food taste even better. I love winter with cold and snow. Great video, Eli!
I imagined you all being outside in winter because your used to it, but I'm scared of it I've never been in snow and I'm in my 60's!! I live in Florida USA, I'm in northern part and we do see cold temperatures right now it's been getting down in the low 30's at night last week it got down to 20's🤤 but it does warm up to 60's during the day. I can t imagine me in it I would freeze to death lol! But it is beautiful to see and I watch in amazement as you all enjoy and do things in it of course in US in the north they are use to it too! My grandchildren have been visiting places with snow so they can snowboard they love it! They are planning a trip to Sweden next year, your niece and nephew are so cute I love your red hair, I've got cousins with red hair!
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!
In the Highlands of Scotland we sometimes have cold winter's, the coldest I remember was in the eighties with temperatures as low as -28°c. One year the gas imn our calor gas heater's froze and we had no heating for several weeks. We had a barn with a concrete floor so I learned to skateboard as a means to keep warm, I would also go cross country skiing to the local shop even at night if there was a full moon as you could see almost as good as during the day. I now live in a city with central heating and would struggle to live in these conditions. Loving your channel and excellent content and seeing a world where people are happy.
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.
It takes time to acclimatize, I'm not sure what they would learn from that. Your metabolism functions differently in extreme cold but it takes some time to happen.
@@steven-k. I think it's more of a case of letting them know what they were in for. Truth is, the accommodations for scientists down there are fairly luxurious, with a ton of protocols in place for field trips. For me? No thank you, I can "live" the cold vicariously through Eli and her family 😊 I'm actually retiring in the tropics... so much for my Celtic Viking blood haha.
I can feel the Zeal and Love in Peoples Hearts during freezing temperature. Hope to have more Traveling opportunities between Russia and Pakistan in future. Love from Pakistan
I just love your videos and watching them feels like i am seeing russia with my own eyes.Russia is such a beautifull place and thank u for showing us beauty of russia.
Russians are hardy people I'd say. It doesn't get extremely cold here in Michigan, but cold enough to hurt. The worst part of Michigan winter in the opinion of many is the lack of sunshine. Dreary and depressing. Happy kids playing in the snow brightens things up. Your niece and nephew are adorable.
I agree with you about seasons. Born in Northern Minnesota...lived in Arizona for 15 boring weather years and moved back to Minnesota for the snow/cold and huge lakes.
Thank you sharing this beautiful video in such a cold situation, especially for those poor street vendors at the market, as I cannot immagine how they can be out all day, but certainly joyful for the children, like your cute niece and nephew who seem to have fun in the snow.The Russians, differently from other peoples are used to it and I also think that each season, even the coldest one, is wonderful. Great video as usual
I like four seasons as I always lived in Northern Canada, though I own a newer home in Cardenas Cuba which I haven't visited in 20 years, my mother-in-law lives in it though.
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
No matter where you go, Eli, you bring the warmth with your presence. Yakutsk, and anywhere else, included. 🌷
If you live in a place where Winter is such a major part of life, you don't hide from it. You embrace it.
Agree!
Happy children are a Joy ...so wonderful....
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.

Grew up in Canada & do not recall a cold day/snow day out of school even at 40 below F. Live in Texas now and we get 3 to 5 days of winter a year, and that makes these old bones happy.

I think you are doing more to ease East/West tensions than all the politicians combined.

Go experience a Russian winter? I don't have to go all the way to Russia for that. North America is just eastern Russia with a very slight warming.

Despite the Winter cold, your warmth always shines through, I love your channel.

I still remember that feeling being there in Perm... with your video, it flashed all the best moments when I was there. People are hospitable and extremely polite... my only downside is I cannot speak Russian so only few I managed to talked with. Kudos to your videos, love it!!!
Here in Thailand we have warm to hot weather most of the year. Our "winter" time is now, almost finishing. But if you come here in "winter" you will be shocked, because it is like your summer! Many Russians love coming to Thailand.
It's amazing seeing people especially young children playing, working and having fun outside in freezing conditions. Previously i thought people would stay inside in extreme cold.
Moreover,I also love to live at a place with changing weathers. We have all five weathers at Lahore, Pakistan.
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.
Hi Eli, you have a pleasant voice with a very nice accent, I enjoy listening to you when you speak. Thanks again. 👏🧡👍
Learn English change my life because many opportunities in all matters but learning Russian language changed my life perspective, values and personal life.
I will test that app for Russian language and to learn Swedish. Thank you! I love your videos!!!
Eli, I love your channel. Greetings from me in Indonesia, Southeast Asia.
The cold seems to make the guys grumpy, but the ladies seem to like the winter season and are very content.The children are the happiest of all though.
The coldest capitol city of any country in the world is Ottawa, Canada.
I live in Toronto; I went to Saigon in February eight years ago for my son's wedding where it was 35C, when I came back to Toronto it was -35C here.
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!
Eli may be the loveliest woman i've ever seen, such a sweet demeanor and laugh :)
🇦🇺 Difficult to imagine living in that sort of cold but thank you for showing the world that Russians are normal people just like the rest of the world. If we could get rid of our politicians maybe we could all just live in peace.
It's fun going from a QLD summer to a Ural winter at New Year. You quickly get used to it as long as you dress appropriately. The worst thing is ice forming on my moustache.
Please stop Russian people killing innocent women and children in Ukraine...you need to change your principles and to stop the russian army firing at women and children. The russians need to stand up and stop the war. Otherwise i will get in my car from Ireland and drive to ukraine as a woman to also stand up against the russian war
@Diane M And you need to mind your pwn business!
@@Светлана-ф4с8н Sorry Svetlana, I don't understand emojis.
If your from Australia as it appears, thr warmest it gets there is 100 degrees 🤣
Oh yes. Russia in the refrigerator. Today in Hungary it is +8 Celsius, in winter the average is around -20 Celsius. We haven't seen any heavy snow in 10 years.
There isn't anything more beautiful than winter with snow. Cold weather just makes coffee and food taste even better. I love winter with cold and snow. Great video, Eli!
I imagined you all being outside in winter because your used to it, but I'm scared of it I've never been in snow and I'm in my 60's!! I live in Florida USA, I'm in northern part and we do see cold temperatures right now it's been getting down in the low 30's at night last week it got down to 20's🤤 but it does warm up to 60's during the day. I can t imagine me in it I would freeze to death lol! But it is beautiful to see and I watch in amazement as you all enjoy and do things in it of course in US in the north they are use to it too! My grandchildren have been visiting places with snow so they can snowboard they love it! They are planning a trip to Sweden next year, your niece and nephew are so cute I love your red hair, I've got cousins with red hair!
Wow so cold. I do love when the seasons change! It’s nice to experience the changes in season, and enjoy what each season has to offer and explore. 😊
Extreme winter looks a beautiful but very tough to stay.Tough life and hard working people
+40 in summer in India seems more extremely for us😏
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!
In the Highlands of Scotland we sometimes have cold winter's, the coldest I remember was in the eighties with temperatures as low as -28°c. One year the gas imn our calor gas heater's froze and we had no heating for several weeks. We had a barn with a concrete floor so I learned to skateboard as a means to keep warm, I would also go cross country skiing to the local shop even at night if there was a full moon as you could see almost as good as during the day. I now live in a city with central heating and would struggle to live in these conditions. Loving your channel and excellent content and seeing a world where people are happy.
Wonderful video!!! It's easy to see why Russian ice skaters command such high respect in the world because of the fun of winter activities!!
I’m learning Polish and Russian. I speak German, Spanish and Portuguese at my job being in contact with a lot of them as well as traveling.
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.
It takes time to acclimatize, I'm not sure what they would learn from that. Your metabolism functions differently in extreme cold but it takes some time to happen.
@@steven-k. I think it's more of a case of letting them know what they were in for. Truth is, the accommodations for scientists down there are fairly luxurious, with a ton of protocols in place for field trips. For me? No thank you, I can "live" the cold vicariously through Eli and her family 😊 I'm actually retiring in the tropics... so much for my Celtic Viking blood haha.
Too right!!
Since I found your channel, I have been thinking of visiting Russia.
I can feel the Zeal and Love in Peoples Hearts during freezing temperature. Hope to have more Traveling opportunities between Russia and Pakistan in future. Love from Pakistan
Thanks eli you are adorable!
I just love your videos and watching them feels like i am seeing russia with my own eyes.Russia is such a beautifull place and thank u for showing us beauty of russia.
Eli: With all of these layers you probably won't look attractive at all....
Canadians: 🤩🔥🔥
Love RUSSIA 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wonderful video, much better than Tv, congratulations from Spain!
Wonderful video Eli😁
What an elegant woman. It makes you want to live in Perm.
Russians are hardy people I'd say. It doesn't get extremely cold here in Michigan, but cold enough to hurt. The worst part of Michigan winter in the opinion of many is the lack of sunshine. Dreary and depressing. Happy kids playing in the snow brightens things up. Your niece and nephew are adorable.
I agree with you about seasons. Born in Northern Minnesota...lived in Arizona for 15 boring weather years and moved back to Minnesota for the snow/cold and huge lakes.
Thank you sharing this beautiful video in such a cold situation, especially for those poor street vendors at the market, as I cannot immagine how they can be out all day, but certainly joyful for the children, like your cute niece and nephew who seem to have fun in the snow.The Russians, differently from other peoples are used to it and I also think that each season, even the coldest one, is wonderful. Great video as usual
❤ Eli & Russia ❤
I live in a country where it doesn't get colder than 15C degrees on average and that's cold for me, its really interesting to see a real winter
Ice Queen gang💪🏽
I like four seasons as I always lived in Northern Canada, though I own a newer home in Cardenas Cuba which I haven't visited in 20 years, my mother-in-law lives in it though.
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
Where did you grow up? That sounds amazing!!! I am in the United States too.
I used to live in Minneapolis. And back in the 90s, when I lived there, it usually had one week in the winter when it was -25C during the day.
Your niece is very sweet 😍
