Aunt Galya is an amazing woman. Her house is spotlessly clean; she makes her own bread, jam, and more; she takes good care of her animals and has a nice garden; she's always happy, is a wonderful hostess, and can even touch the ground at age 70. Her embroidery is beautiful. She's blessed that her TV isn't working now. Big hugs for her from Seattle.
@@lionkhan6141 Thanks! We love you too! We all ppl of this mother Earth! So good to know that you appreciate Russia. We all need to understand that What we experiencing now is the GLOBAL changes. I would say the Earth itself is under huge transformation. It's pity that so many ppl don't know about it and don't understand the Global events that are happening for all of us. WE are in it TOGETHER. THERE IS N'T OTHER WAY about it.
I'm almost as old as Aunt Galya and find it amazing how different people live. I prefer the simple life like Galya, large gardens, cows, chickens and quiet countryside. My feeble mind can't imagine wanting to live any other way no matter how much wealth I might have. I often wonder what % people in the world would be happy living this way as contrast to flashing lights, noisy highways and pre-processed food containing chemicals I can't pronounce.
it takes a lot of work and discipline. not for everyone for sure. but she’s always in a good mood. not depressed like many city folks. fresh air and exercise
Age is not important I live the same way with my 80y.o. grandma in Bulgaria. I was born in the capital, but after 15 years of partying and travelling I decided I'm bored with that lifeatyle and I miss the village life. I'm working remotely and haven't gotten out of my house for weeks. No need to. I have everything inside my yard.
bro...your aunt just won my heart by her practical, genuine, lovely approach towards life which many of us across the globe are forgetting and getting trapped into never ending hate and fighting for an idea of some one else.. love from India

Aunt Gayla is so self sufficient and active! The embroidery was beautiful. She's an inspiration. Sounds like she has good neighbors and a good son! I'm American and I don't hate the Russian people. My grandma was like her. She had a wood stove which she cooked on for many years, made a garden, had chickens and it was so much fun to visit her!
Are you kidding?!?!?! How can you support these Russian nazis! The war wouldn’t happen if the Russian people stopped it. This guy is just enjoying his freedom while men braver than him bomb their Slavic brothers….how many Ukrainian grandmas have the Russian army killed…know they are made of those Russian people you bless
Good job on how you said what you said. Although I perfectly understand a lot of anger at Russia right now, the messaging needs to be a consistent love for Russia and Ukraine, and each other in general.
Thank you for sharing this, reminds me of my wife’s village in Hungary. At the end of the day, it does not matter what country we are from, we are all people. We will find a way to live in harmony once all the greed and lust for power from our leaders is gone.
I want Aunt Galya to adopt me. It reminded me of my grandparents from Norway. I grew up in the USA where you work yourself silly just to eat. I can't stop crying as it brings me back to simpler times 😻
Che belle persone, che vita sincera, piena di serenità, semplicità, buon umore, in una parola felicità. Grazie per averci portato in questa famiglia con una signora così forte allegra, sapiente Grazie!!!
Slava, your aunt is such a dear. Please tell her we in the west do not hate them or want to hurt them. I love Russians with all my heart. This war has made me so sad. All my life I've dreamed about visiting Russia. I thought I was close to having a chance. I sponsored three Russian orphans for many years, until they left school. I wish we could fix this problem. I'm so sad about it all. Your friend, Todd
Media specifically main stream corporate news channels as well as state controlled propaganda media are the biggest VILLAINS of these times, creating rift between people. Its happy situation that Aunt don't watch TV.
Hi Todd! So good to know that you had plans visiting Russia. Please come, you will have a chance to really experience our Russian hospitality, warmth and kindness. We are all ppl of this planet, our Earth! Sponsoting orphones is a great deed. It's greatly appreciated!!!
@@toddbonin6926 Yes! Make it soon! You will fall in Love with ppl, hospitality & culture! There are a thousand roads in life - Victoria Cherentsova. ua-cam.com/video/3tQ6--E96CU/v-deo.html
The dog always loves to see you. He gets to go for a walk/run and a swim. It was good to see you, Lena, Aunt Galya, your parents, and camera-shy Vika again. Bless you all.
Thank you for sharing. I have been to Russia twice on an educational exchange program. I also helped with my law school’s exchange program for professors and students. I learned so much from this experience and all I can say is that I fell in love with the Russian people that I met. I had them in my home and took them with me everywhere. May God bless these people who have suffered so much.
Thanks for documenting this video for us. I’m Russian raised in United States and I and as so many Americans admire this off the grid self sufficient lifestyle. This is pretty awesome! 🙏🏼
When did you leave? I left when i was 15 and my brother was 9... We are still more Russian than Americans 30 years later... American Children call cops on their parents and friends... its a cultural disaster out here
@@katherine.benson4489 The globalist cabal has ruined the USA with constant psychological warfare operations. Divisive propaganda and other 5th generation warfare tactics used online are very effective. They have us fighting over anything possible to argue over. Sad situation. People are catching on to the war we are in for our minds, but is it too late?
Great video of the country life. Reminds me of what it was like living on my uncles farm during my summer holidays when I was a kid. It also reminded me of the times I was in Russia visiting with my wife's parents. We spent a lot of time in Kursk and at their dacha. I hope to get back there to visit again someday. Amazing country and people who I dearly miss. Keep up the great work love the video's from Canada
I’m so glad your aunt is still doing well! I am also glad the current world situation is not having much of an effect on her. I’m sorry that people think we hate them here in America...for me, that is so not true! My mother and father were Lithuanian, and only came here after WWII. I feel a connection to you all there and I don’t want innocent people suffering needlessly. I wish this would all end and things return to the way they were before...Everyone is entitled to live in peace! Wonderful video as always! 😊 Take care!
@@RussianPlus I think the main cause of this war was the feeling of mutual hatred ( Russian & Ukrainian ultra nationalism) which was fanned by some internal and external forces of both sides with the connivance of their business partners and military strategists for their political and commercial interests.Media proven to be their strongest weapon. The only way to put an end to this conspired conflict which has been going on for the last decade and a half is by eliminating the negative feeling of mutual hatred & distrust( quite a hard task at this juncture) and the conspirators,war mongers that have fanned it. Without this solution, everything else is a temporary solution with which war can be postphoned or avoided for a while but cannot be ended. The rest we all know that WHEREVER THERE is is OIL, GAS & ENERGY RESOURCES IN THE WORLD THERE IS WAR !!
Dear Terry! Educated ppl don't think that you as simple folks hate Russians. We all ppl of this mother Earth! So good to know that you remember your roots, that's utterly essential. What we experiencing it's GLOBAL changes. I would say the Earth itself is under huge transformation. It's pity that so many ppl don't know about it and don't understand the Global events that 's happening for all of us. WE are in it TOGETHER. THERE IS N'T OTHER WAY about it.
These videos are great. The functional gardening perspective, especially, inspires me more than any other gardening channel. Really like seeing the country and rural aspects as well.
I just discovered your channel. what a wonderful feel good video, it's lovely to see a family enjoying their time together and such love and warmth between you all. Your aunt is adorable, such a kind heart, I loved the scene with her cuddling her kitten. Thank you for bringing us on your journey and an insight into your wonderful family. I am British and I am ashamed and embarrassed as to how Bo Jo has behaved. I wish peace, health and happiness to all Russians, May God protect you and all of Russia and continue to guide Putin. Slava Russia 🇷🇺 😊
Wow!! Thank you sooo much for your words of kindness and wisdom! There are many good people worldwide who understand what is really going on in the world. Many western politicians whether in Europe or North America are not true servants of their people. They are serving interests of their masters who are greedy and evil. There are many good people in the world who don't like what their politicians are doing to their own people and also to other countries. We have God on our side and He will help us during difficult times!! May God bless you also and give you good health. May God bless all the good people worldwide who are striving for peace and improvement of relationships with others! Evil will be defeated and done with! We only need patience in the process of difficult times. Sending you warm greetings and best wishes! Cheers 🤓🥂👋
I just stumbled on your video and couldn't stop watching it and it's 1am here. Thanks for making this video. You have a wonderful family and an amazing auntie. I wish I could give that lady a hug too. Praying for Russia and Russians. Take care!
This is heaven! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I had no idea what it was like. Please tell those family members who are shy or afraid to share that we love seeing them and thank you! I wish I had this much peace in my own life and family. I live completely alone and with no one so it is nice to see. Thank you.
Ora non sei più solo perché hai condiviso il tuo pensiero . Non conosco le tue abitudini religiose ma, se vorrai pregare, ti unirai a tanti che lo fanno, e, senza conoscersi, si abbracciano idealmente. God bless dall'Italia
Aunt Galya is such a legend! I love your videos but especially those vlogs when you visit her. Please tell her that her embroidery is beautiful. I'm very envious that you got to taste that bread-it looked so delicious!
Thank you so much for this amazing footage! It proves that "ordinary people" in Russia are good-natured, friendly and generous who know how to master their daily lives. They need not to be feared or hated! Watching aunt Galya reminded me of my childhood days some 55-60 years ago when I spent my holidays in the Styrian countryside. Live was simple, self sustaining and self-sufficient. And I loved every day of it.... Want to add that I liked how you presented the small but beautiful "asides": Flowers, birds and especially CATS! That, too, is a childhood memory.... Thank you for this lively, loving presentation! Looking forward to more stuff like that. Best wishes and stay safe! Greetings from an Austrian living in Bavaria
This how my grandmother made bread ! I used to love it when she made bread . I used to sneak in and pinch pieces of dough off the loaf before she put it in the oven I had a few lumps on my head as a child from her wooden spoon ))) Thank you for showing this )👍👍👍 How I miss my grandmother her love and her wisdom.(((
I loved your video. Thank you so much. Although Russia seems to be soooo far away from South America, I could feel the warmth and the love you all shared with Aunt Galya. Nice place and beautiful people.
Случайно нашла вас! Потрясающе, деревенская жизнь прекрасна, детство провела в деревне. Наверно там закладывается корень человека. Прорастает.. Ещё вы очень классно озвучиваете, или читаете, в общем будто аудиокнигу слушаешь, с отличным чтецом.
My favorite part is how she holds and hugs the cat… It examplifies her true personality and that she’s just a lovely person… There’s no doubt in my mind that we are all loving people no matter where we live on this earth… It’s very sad right now that they’re innocent people dieding…Leaving their homes… Being treated awful on their way from one place to the other because of war… This beautiful woman gives us some semblance of peace that we all long for…
I moved to a rural area 22 years ago and love the peace, quiet, and serenity here. The air is sweet, the water clean, nobody bothers anybody else. I've lived in cities and suburbs and this is far better. I don't farm, I buy all of my food. I want for nothing. It may be harder when you have to do everything yourself like aunt Galya but it's still a much better life than living in a city. Look at how happy she is. Now that's something I can identify with.
What a wonderful video! I felt like we were there visiting! Thank you! Love where she lives! What a beautiful lifestyle! If only more people appreciated what a wonderful life that is! ❤️
I am 59, from California, and I miss the simpler times. We always had gardens. She had chickens and a cow milk the cow made her own butter, bread. It was always perfect, some problems exist no matter what happens, because short periods of time we were always family. I miss all the older folks who are no longer here. Are used to date a woman from Moldova and she would tell me stories Just like you showed in your video. We only have a word and family keep your family strong communication lines open and visit as you can. Thank you again for sharing.
I lived in Russia for two years when I was studying a master's program, I stayed mainly in the Moscow area and did not travel much. I would love to see the Russian countryside and visiting some old houses like aunt Galya's it looks lovely.
Hi Ahmad! Yes, it's a great idea. Go and visit other places in Russia. You will see the various ppl and diferent attitude than you have seen living in Moscow. Time is expend you horizont/.
You will fall in Love with ppl, hospitality & culture of Russia! There are a thousand roads in life - Victoria Cherentsova. ua-cam.com/video/3tQ6--E96CU/v-deo.html
yeah if you want see how ppl live in 15th century Russia is great place to visit, than you realize why everyone who can leave to civilization abroad ;)
I've missed the drevnya videos. My grandma immigrated from Russia and lives in the US but always is remembering her times in the village. Hope to visit one some day. Glad to see Aunt Galya again :)
I was born into this kind of life, living in a small town / Village and we farmed and made and grew most things we consumed. That was almost 65 years ago boy it brings back great memories. I could almost smell and taste the Bread and most of the food you guy's enjoyed. Your Aunt is spot on your neighbours would have surplus of something and you would have something they were short of and you just looked after each other. Thank You all for the memories.
Your aunt Galya is really a wonderful woman!. She has so many good qualities and her property with those nice animals and greeneries is just a jewel, as she has everything she needs for living. Her pancakes are so delicious and she also produces a fantastic jam and what about that bread, so crusty! A fairy tale! Moreover this part of Russia is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this awesome video with us.
Hi there, yes, you are totally right. I agree on every word. Actially Russia has got so many breathtaking places, and wast lands...She is just one of the kind!
Beautiful country life. Aunt Galya is a hard working woman and her embroidery is just beautiful. It's good to have a hobby. I would like to visit Aunt Galya too, to see her flower garden and the cats. It was nice you helped with the weeding. It reminds me of the farm my in-laws had, 60 years ago in Germany..Almost the same setting. I am now 81 yrs, living in Australia and also baking my own bread. I wish this war will go away soon. I am really ashamed of the Russian bashing that's going on in the German mainstream media. We people are all the same, Russian, Ukraine, European, Australian etc. We just want to live in peace.
Thank you so much for this video! Aunt Galya is a wonderful Russian woman and reminds me of people I met on several visits there. Village life is how my Slovak grandmother continued to live here in the US. Oh, this makes me miss my Baba!
Летние каникулы раньше дети проводили в деревнях, у бабушек и дедушек. И это было самое прекрасное и счастливое время. Целый бень на улице, босиком, парное молоко, клубника прямо с грядки, купались в речках, гоняли на велосипедах, лопали бабушкины пирожки и аладушки с вареньем, а вечером все соседи собирались у костра, пели песни, запекали картошку в костре.... эхххх вернуть бы детство❤
Eu já vivi no interior do nordeste brasileiro quando era criança, e posso dizer que é algo realmente muito lindo. Me lembro de uma noite eu com meus primos corremos atrás de alguns porcos no meio do mato kkkk sempre que sinto cheiro de terra molhada lembro de lá
я тоже в детстве проводила по три месяца в деревне каждое лето, но лично у меня это были крики, побои, принудительная работа на огороде утром, днем и вечером и 2 часа в день прогулки с друзьями, когда мы босиком бегали по деревне, лазали по деревьям, плавали в озере, бегали в лес. Хоть в детстве для меня это было все равно что ссылка к бабушке, которая нас откровенно ненавидела и делала все, чтобы испортить нам там жизнь, но я все равно с большой любовью вспоминаю деревню. Чудесное место, природа, животные, детство
Another masterpiece by Slava. Very nice seeing the family coming together at Aunt Galya in her village again. What a lovely and friendly woman she is, hard working from childhood but not sorrow as she stated in another video. Slava's concluding words are saying it all: Village life in the countryside doesn't change much over decades regardless what is going on the big wide world around ....
Such a beautiful video of all of you together with Aunt Galya in the countryside. Such a warm feeling comes over me whenever I see her and her home with all the homemade food, decor, hand made doilies, bedding and the yard/garden. It takes me back to a time within my youth when things were much simpler. 😌 My greatest hope is to someday visit Russia, thanks to all of your videos I know all the good places to go💃🏻 My prayers are that this current situation comes to an end soon and that all of you maintain good health and well being in the meantime. 🙏
This really reminds me of when I go back to Italy to visit my grandparents in the countryside. Very peaceful. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them!
Your Aunt Galya specializes in something money never buy and no bureaucrat can ever take or give and that is love. To see her beautiful smile and the warmth of love from her eyes when she sees your family is so priceless. I think you should live there and make a living remotely. Allow your Aunt to teach you the old ways of being a true self sufficient Russian.
Your Aunt Galya is living the best life there! Beautiful countryside....if I lived there I would be visiting Aunt Galya every weekend!!! Very enjoyable vlog
You're blessed with Aunt Galya. Cherish the moment while you can. Big hugs and love to her she's an amazing grandma. Get some nephews for her hehe. Namaste from Nepal 🇳🇵
I want to remind you how great your content is. You have greater meaning and purpose in your vlogs than most. Even though you may travel to a different country and or location, you are not simply a travel vlogger. Your interviews, your personal stories, your ethnography, and more sets you apart. You are missed. But I understand. And I believe you are continuing to do good things. 👍
i always dreamed of visiting the russian hinterland. now i'm afraid i can bury my dreams until further notice. nevertheless: what an incredibly beautiful country and what incredibly great people. Galyas modesty reminds me of my own grandmother, who was also living on the countryside and made everything herself. thanks for this video!
Very nice video. It reminds me of visiting my grandparents farm in north central Wisconsin. The food there was always so much fresher and tastier than what you can buy in the city. Also great to see Vika again. I'm from southern Wisconsin, but I used to go deer hunting in the Minong area where she stayed and I often go hiking in the parks she visited.
I loved this video! Such a simple, self-sustaining life is harder to come by these days in many places. I grew up on a farm out in the country, and miss it a lot. Aunt Galya seems like such a sweet, happy lady. 😊
I love your channel! Thank you for all your hard work. Please post more of these Russian countryside videos. They are so beautiful! Also, I would love to collect Aunt Galya's recipes! I have tried making rye bread, using a sour dough starter, but it failed. Her bread looked wonderful 😋 Thank you and your beautiful family for these great videos.
I admit, every time, I start to watch one of your videos, I always have to watch it to the end. The videos you make, are always so warm and real, and you make us feel, we're just there with you and your beautiful family. Aunt Galya, is of course a great wonderful active person could be the dream aunt or grandma for everyone. I know some Russians, and have been in Russia several times, and it reminds me about a dacha life... Thank you again for sharing such a great video, and I'm looking forward to watch your next one.
My mom passed a few years back and recently I had a memory of her making fresh bread. So I have been making my own every week instead of getting it from the store. It just taste so much better and I'm not even a big bread person. I miss a lot of the older meals my family had growing up that seems less and less folks cook. One thing I'm glad was when I was little mom taught me how to cook too so I would never have to depend on some one else to cook for me (or starve while single)...lol
I truly enjoyed your video. And frankly Im glad the sanctions arent hurting the Russian people to badly. Your Aunt is amazing. Im 63 years old and I would love to be able to bake my own bread! That bread looked delicious!
So glad to see that Aunt Galya is doing well. I hope that her son helps her in the garden because that is a lot of hard work. She has her hands full between the animals and making food. Happy that you and your family seem to be doing well too. Best wishes, Kim
Your show has a wonderful, humanizing quality to it! Your show provides a welcome contrast to media bombardment and propaganda of a different sort and a harsh tone. As a side note, I'm from Maine and I grow a lot of dill. I love it and my wife and boys love it too. :) We're not all against dill...
Thanks for sharing. Yes, it's understandable why in the US media enforce such propaganda about Russia. "Society is evolving, but people are still trying to make sense of today's reality with the use of outdated but familiar concepts, manipulations and strategies. We are always in captivity to concepts and the images they give birth to, regardless of whether these concepts are suitable for us or not. A person is liberated only when he himself gives birth to new concepts and moves forward, developing his concepts to comprehend today's world." - Fedor Shkrudnev (article "Meaning" July 4, 2022)
You have a great family and your Aunt Galya is so sweet and hard working! Reminds me of growing up in the countryside in Wisconsin; currant bushes on the farm, strawberries, home cooked meals. Very much like visiting my Grandma and Grandpa's farm. Thanks you for the wonderful journey Slava! P.S., you have reminded me that I have to go weed my currant bushes! 🍓
@RussianPlus Those scenes are the same from villages near Poltava ! Warms my heart to see that people, real people are about hospitality, growing their garden and sharing fond memories with their family. I am glad you didn't use the vernacular name for dill btw ;)
Thanks Slava for such an amazing video with a scent of nostalgia (as for me). Dear viewers, you can be sure that all the Russian villages, babushkas, chickens, tablecloth, rooms, and kittens look the same everywhere in Russia! I watched the video and every detail is so well-known by me. And really appreciate Slava's humor in videos 🤣👏👏👏
Not really. The house is brick and has running water (heater?). It is not that common and not even that convenient in more distant villages, esp for elderly living without much support. The household is kinda messy and uncared for at he same time though. I d say MOST babushkas live in more minimal conditions but go more hardcore in their garden. It’s individual to this family. Main thing they are happy
Really like how you have oldschool countryside in Russia, can't find that in Croatia anymore, everyone is fleeing from rural areas and I cant recall last time eating domestic food, except eggs and little bit of vegetables, when I get home. Veliki pozdrav za tetu Galya-u :)
Beautiful country, beautiful people. I am old also and grew up on a farm and in my old age I have returned to a farm. Rural life and rural self-sufficiency are good. I very much enjoyed your program.
I really enjoyed this video. Your Aunt seems like she is such a nice woman. It's too bad we have such terrible things going on in the world. I wish the whole world could live in harmony and enjoy each other's company and share each others way of life Anyway, great video, thanks for sharing.
yes, i agree. most people are good people with kind hearts and good intentions. and then there’s that tiny bunch that messes up things for the rest of us. they don’t give a damn about human lives. unfortunately Russia has a history of its leadership totally abusing the power. One day Russia will be a democracy
So good to know that WE are all ppl of this mother Earth! We all are going through GLOBAL CHANGES. The main our mission is to stay being HUMANS. That's the most essential tesks of all nowdays.
Aunt Galya reminds me of my Ukrainian Baba’s on both sides! These two cultures are so similar they’re intertwined in every way! I recognized so many Russian words that are similar or exactly the same as Ukrainian words! So sad brothers and fighting brothers!!😢
Famille sympathique, cadre reposant à la campagne, bon pain fait maison, cocorico du coq, .....merci pour ces vacances simples et conviviales partagées avec nous.
Slava Your videos are the only ones that I watch with normal speed and sometimes slower. Your life reminds me of my childhood. I had an uncle and grandma just like yours. I missed them a lot now. Please charish your good time and visit her as often as you can.
@@RussianPlus Slava, those damn seagulls; not only shitting up your wonderful bridge, but polluting the water below for summer swimmers too! 😟. Please take your.20 gauge single shot the next time and show them the fast way to heaven 🤜
My Russian family immigrated through the Port of Galveston Texas. I didn’t even know people came through Texas. My Great- Grandfather worked at the port for a year before he could bring his wife and children. Then they went to Detroit for work for a very short time. Then moved to Los Angeles in the early 1920s. He was a baker 🙂
I did some ancestry research lately and was blown away to find out my Lebanese great great grandmother arrive in 1890s through a port in New Orleans. It’s interesting how different migration routes brought them to different ports.
I live near the port of Galveston. Up until 1900, it was considered the Wall Street of the South. Huge commerce hub. Now it's almost all tourist-oriented, which all goes away when a hurricane hits, or when the economy dries up.
Thanks, Slava for this fascinating, uplifting and heartwarming video. Your aunt is such an industrious woman with great values and common sense. Unfortunately, people like her are not so prevalent in our world today. Many people could learn so much from her just by observing her everyday lifestyle. By the way, I love dill. I have a recipe that a friend from Germany gave me for cooking a pork tenderloin. It uses fresh dill, onions, paprika and white wine. It is so delicious 😋. It is great to have some spaezle as a side dish with it. Dill pickles and dill relish are also quite tasty. Sanctions seem to hurt the common people more than any government or their leaders. All I can do is pray for understanding and peace for all people everywhere. I realize that is an "impossible dream" but we must always strive for a world where everyone can live their lives in peace. Take care and have a safe, healthy and happy month of July. 👍🤗❤️🙏🌎
Thanks John for your comment! So good to know that WE are all ppl of this mother Earth! We all are going through GLOBAL CHANGES. The main our mission is to stay being HUMANS. That's the most essential tesks of all nowdays.
Happy to see you people again, your aunt Galya is a hard working women. Your garden has lots of vegetables and your shish-kebab on the BBQ looks delicious, have a nice stay , wish you all a lot of happiness from a french canadian from northern Canada.
My mother who is 96 and the youngest in her family, had sisters who prepared meals for the people who worked on a farm in the 30s. It was just like your mother described with milkmaids and enormous calorie meals. The flowers are Veronica.
Wonderful video story telling Slava @RussianPlus I enjoy it when you show your family life. It shows what kind of a person you really are. You have a nice family, though I am a little worried about Vika - she seems depressed. So, I hope she finds some joy again. I know that unexpected things come up in our lives and they can take a turn. I trust she will ultimately grow and become a wise young lady. She has so much in front of her, but she will have to see that for herself! Aunt Galya is wonderful. I love her lifestyle, with her chickens, kitties (company and love no doubt), garden, and generous and humorous spirit. It's good to see sweet Elina by your side too. About the "pancakes"; they look more like crepes - a thin form of "pancake", French in origin I believe, and usually rolled with goodies inside, to me. They look delicious.
I always envy the simple farming life out in the beautiful, green countryside !! Then I remember that it probably involves a lot of hard work, and unfortunately I am lazy, and I need the modern conveniences.
So good to see everyone again! Tell Aunt Gayla thank you for sharing her home and cooking secrets with all of us! Great video. Oh, by the way, you have great taste in hats!!! 🧢
Thank you for inviting us into your Aunt Galya's life. She is beautiful and kind. I am very happy to have discovered your channel. I look forward to seeing many more of your videos.
Aunt Galya is an amazing woman. Her house is spotlessly clean; she makes her own bread, jam, and more; she takes good care of her animals and has a nice garden; she's always happy, is a wonderful hostess, and can even touch the ground at age 70. Her embroidery is beautiful. She's blessed that her TV isn't working now. Big hugs for her from Seattle.
She's amazing. It's true. She has a lot of positive energy and is always happy. Rare to find these days
Aunt Galja has a good heart!
She is amazing.
Bless you

Age is not important I live the same way with my 80y.o. grandma in Bulgaria. I was born in the capital, but after 15 years of partying and travelling I decided I'm bored with that lifeatyle and I miss the village life.

I would love to visit a place like this someday! It’s beautiful. I’ve lived in a city my whole life and this looks wonderful to me
Aunt Gayla is so self sufficient and active! The embroidery was beautiful. She's an inspiration. Sounds like she has good neighbors and a good son! I'm American and I don't hate the Russian people. My grandma was like her. She had a wood stove which she cooked on for many years, made a garden, had chickens and it was so much fun to visit her!
God bless the Russian people, and the Ukrainian people too.....I would love to visit the rural Russia.....Dill is the most amazing herb.....
Obviously god is not blessing the Ukrainian people. He is heaping death and destruction on them. How can anyone believe in any god.
Are you kidding?!?!?! How can you support these Russian nazis! The war wouldn’t happen if the Russian people stopped it. This guy is just enjoying his freedom while men braver than him bomb their Slavic brothers….how many Ukrainian grandmas have the Russian army killed…know they are made of those Russian people you bless
God bless Russians?!?! They are support the war,! It's not just Putin's war, it's a war of the Russians too!
Good job on how you said what you said. Although I perfectly understand a lot of anger at Russia right now, the messaging needs to be a consistent love for Russia and Ukraine, and each other in general.

Happy, healthy, content and resilient. Long live Russia and the beautiful people. Cheers from Canada

Thank you for sharing this, reminds me of my wife’s village in Hungary. At the end of the day, it does not matter what country we are from, we are all people. We will find a way to live in harmony once all the greed and lust for power from our leaders is gone.
Greetings from Hungary! 🙂 What is the name of the village?
AMEN TO THAT!!! GOD BLESS "HUMANITY"!!!
Это просто круто !поскорей бы
I want Aunt Galya to adopt me. It reminded me of my grandparents from Norway. I grew up in the USA where you work yourself silly just to eat. I can't stop crying as it brings me back to simpler times 😻
I hear you Sister! Keep your head up! One day🎉
Che belle persone, che vita sincera, piena di serenità, semplicità, buon umore, in una parola felicità.
Grazie per averci portato in questa famiglia con una signora così forte allegra, sapiente
Grazie!!!
Slava, your aunt is such a dear. Please tell her we in the west do not hate them or want to hurt them. I love Russians with all my heart. This war has made me so sad. All my life I've dreamed about visiting Russia. I thought I was close to having a chance. I sponsored three Russian orphans for many years, until they left school. I wish we could fix this problem. I'm so sad about it all. Your friend, Todd
hey Todd. yes, the war has to stop. wow, you have a big heart. thank you.
Media specifically main stream corporate news channels as well as state controlled propaganda media are the biggest VILLAINS of these times, creating rift between people. Its happy situation that Aunt don't watch TV.
Hi Todd! So good to know that you had plans visiting Russia. Please come, you will have a chance to really experience our Russian hospitality, warmth and kindness. We are all ppl of this planet, our Earth! Sponsoting orphones is a great deed. It's greatly appreciated!!!
@@tanyamir09 thank you Tatiana. I still hope to visit as soon as I am able.

The dog always loves to see you. He gets to go for a walk/run and a swim. It was good to see you, Lena, Aunt Galya, your parents, and camera-shy Vika again. Bless you all.
Thank you for sharing. I have been to Russia twice on an educational exchange program. I also helped with my law school’s exchange program for professors and students. I learned so much from this experience and all I can say is that I fell in love with the Russian people that I met. I had them in my home and took them with me everywhere. May God bless these people who have suffered so much.
Hi
Thanks for documenting this video for us. I’m Russian raised in United States and I and as so many Americans admire this off the grid self sufficient lifestyle. This is pretty awesome! 🙏🏼
When did you leave? I left when i was 15 and my brother was 9... We are still more Russian than Americans 30 years later... American Children call cops on their parents and friends... its a cultural disaster out here
@@GwynBleys I moved to the USA 5 years ago from Serbia and I still have issues with fitting in... 🙃
@@milenasovic , I'm American and I've lived here in USA all my life and I still have issues fitting in.
@@katherine.benson4489 The globalist cabal has ruined the USA with constant psychological warfare operations. Divisive propaganda and other 5th generation warfare tactics used online are very effective. They have us fighting over anything possible to argue over. Sad situation. People are catching on to the war we are in for our minds, but is it too late?
😊
Great video of the country life. Reminds me of what it was like living on my uncles farm during my summer holidays when I was a kid. It also reminded me of the times I was in Russia visiting with my wife's parents. We spent a lot of time in Kursk and at their dacha. I hope to get back there to visit again someday. Amazing country and people who I dearly miss. Keep up the great work love the video's from Canada
I’m so glad your aunt is still doing well! I am also glad the current world situation is not having much of an effect on her. I’m sorry that people think we hate them here in America...for me, that is so not true! My mother and father were Lithuanian, and only came here after WWII. I feel a connection to you all there and I don’t want innocent people suffering needlessly. I wish this would all end and things return to the way they were before...Everyone is entitled to live in peace! Wonderful video as always! 😊 Take care!
I agree. the war has to stop
@@RussianPlus I think the main cause of this war was the feeling of mutual hatred ( Russian & Ukrainian ultra nationalism) which was fanned by some internal and external forces of both sides with the connivance of their business partners and military strategists for their political and commercial interests.Media proven to be their strongest weapon. The only way to put an end to this conspired conflict which has been going on for the last decade and a half is by eliminating the negative feeling of mutual hatred & distrust( quite a hard task at this juncture) and the conspirators,war mongers that have fanned it. Without this solution, everything else is a temporary solution with which war can be postphoned or avoided for a while but cannot be ended. The rest we all know that WHEREVER THERE is is OIL, GAS & ENERGY RESOURCES IN THE WORLD THERE IS WAR !!
Yes too bad there was that big energy find on Ukrainian territory…something to motivate that monster to invade.
WE LOVE RUSSIA .. A GREAT COUNTRY... LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Dear Terry! Educated ppl don't think that you as simple folks hate Russians. We all ppl of this mother Earth! So good to know that you remember your roots, that's utterly essential. What we experiencing it's GLOBAL changes. I would say the Earth itself is under huge transformation. It's pity that so many ppl don't know about it and don't understand the Global events that 's happening for all of us. WE are in it TOGETHER. THERE IS N'T OTHER WAY about it.
These videos are great. The functional gardening perspective, especially, inspires me more than any other gardening channel. Really like seeing the country and rural aspects as well.
I just discovered your channel. what a wonderful feel good video, it's lovely to see a family enjoying their time together and such love and warmth between you all.
Your aunt is adorable, such a kind heart, I loved the scene with her cuddling her kitten.
Thank you for bringing us on your journey and an insight into your wonderful family.
I am British and I am ashamed and embarrassed as to how Bo Jo has behaved.
I wish peace, health and happiness to all Russians, May God protect you and all of Russia and continue to guide Putin.

Спасибо! Thanks! 👍

Learn Russian and come live in Russia
Wow!! Thank you sooo much for your words of kindness and wisdom! There are many good people worldwide who understand what is really going on in the world. Many western politicians whether in Europe or North America are not true servants of their people. They are serving interests of their masters who are greedy and evil. There are many good people in the world who don't like what their politicians are doing to their own people and also to other countries.
We have God on our side and He will help us during difficult times!!
May God bless you also and give you good health. May God bless all the good people worldwide who are striving for peace and improvement of relationships with others!
Evil will be defeated and done with! We only need patience in the process of difficult times.
Sending you warm greetings and best wishes! Cheers 🤓🥂👋

I just stumbled on your video and couldn't stop watching it and it's 1am here. Thanks for making this video. You have a wonderful family and an amazing auntie. I wish I could give that lady a hug too. Praying for Russia and Russians. Take care!
This is heaven! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I had no idea what it was like. Please tell those family members who are shy or afraid to share that we love seeing them and thank you! I wish I had this much peace in my own life and family. I live completely alone and with no one so it is nice to see. Thank you.

God Bless you and your families, Thank you for another great video. Your aunt has so much knowledge about life. She is a real blessing!!!
Aunt Galya is such a legend! I love your videos but especially those vlogs when you visit her. Please tell her that her embroidery is beautiful. I'm very envious that you got to taste that bread-it looked so delicious!
Will do!!
Everyday Russians and everyday Americans are FAR more similar than the talking heads would want us to believe.

We're very different...at the end kf the day tho we're all people....the ruski emulates the west!

Thank you so much for this amazing footage! It proves that "ordinary people" in Russia are good-natured, friendly and generous who know how to master their daily lives. They need not to be feared or hated!
Watching aunt Galya reminded me of my childhood days some 55-60 years ago when I spent my holidays in the Styrian countryside. Live was simple, self sustaining and self-sufficient. And I loved every day of it....
Want to add that I liked how you presented the small but beautiful "asides": Flowers, birds and especially CATS! That, too, is a childhood memory....
Thank you for this lively, loving presentation! Looking forward to more stuff like that.
Best wishes and stay safe! Greetings from an Austrian living in Bavaria
Thank you very much Renate😊
This how my grandmother made bread !
I used to love it when she made bread .
I used to sneak in and pinch pieces of dough off the loaf before she put it in the oven I had a few lumps on my head as a child from her wooden spoon )))
Thank you for showing this )👍👍👍
How I miss my grandmother her love and her wisdom.(((
Hi Timothy! Yeah, we all miss our so kind, so loving so wise Grandmas!
I loved your video. Thank you so much. Although Russia seems to be soooo far away from South America, I could feel the warmth and the love you all shared with Aunt Galya. Nice place and beautiful people.
Really enjoyable. I love your visits to your aunt. You have a lovely family
thank you Anne
Случайно нашла вас! Потрясающе, деревенская жизнь прекрасна, детство провела в деревне.
Наверно там закладывается корень человека. Прорастает..
Ещё вы очень классно озвучиваете, или читаете, в общем будто аудиокнигу слушаешь, с отличным чтецом.
My favorite part is how she holds and hugs the cat… It examplifies her true personality and that she’s just a lovely person… There’s no doubt in my mind that we are all loving people no matter where we live on this earth… It’s very sad right now that they’re innocent people dieding…Leaving their homes… Being treated awful on their way from one place to the other because of war… This beautiful woman gives us some semblance of peace that we all long for…
I moved to a rural area 22 years ago and love the peace, quiet, and serenity here. The air is sweet, the water clean, nobody bothers anybody else. I've lived in cities and suburbs and this is far better. I don't farm, I buy all of my food. I want for nothing. It may be harder when you have to do everything yourself like aunt Galya but it's still a much better life than living in a city. Look at how happy she is. Now that's something I can identify with.
I love these vlogs with Aunt Galya so much. I wish her a long and healthy life.
Поздрав из Србије све најбоље!
What a wonderful video! I felt like we were there visiting! Thank you! Love where she lives! What a beautiful lifestyle! If only more people appreciated what a wonderful life that is! ❤️
I am 59, from California, and I miss the simpler times. We always had gardens. She had chickens and a cow milk the cow made her own butter, bread. It was always perfect, some problems exist no matter what happens, because short periods of time we were always family. I miss all the older folks who are no longer here. Are used to date a woman from Moldova and she would tell me stories Just like you showed in your video. We only have a word and family keep your family strong communication lines open and visit as you can. Thank you again for sharing.
I lived in Russia for two years when I was studying a master's program, I stayed mainly in the Moscow area and did not travel much. I would love to see the Russian countryside and visiting some old houses like aunt Galya's it looks lovely.
Hi Ahmad! Yes, it's a great idea. Go and visit other places in Russia. You will see the various ppl and diferent attitude than you have seen living in Moscow. Time is expend you horizont/.
You will fall in Love with ppl, hospitality & culture of Russia! There are a thousand roads in life - Victoria Cherentsova. ua-cam.com/video/3tQ6--E96CU/v-deo.html
yeah if you want see how ppl live in 15th century Russia is great place to visit, than you realize why everyone who can leave to civilization abroad ;)
If you have big budget perhaps you visited many places in Russia but students understandable limited budget for travel.
@Your Mom funny name =)
I've missed the drevnya videos. My grandma immigrated from Russia and lives in the US but always is remembering her times in the village. Hope to visit one some day. Glad to see Aunt Galya again :)
I've always loved Russia and Russians, and i still do
Thanks dear heart! So good to know that someone outthere have warm feelings for true, real Russia - not the one media promoting these days.
@@tanyamir09 nobody don’t hate Russian people :)
@@tanyamir09 What is the media promoting these days?
Галина, какая же вы чудесная женщина. Вы фундамент РОССИИ.
I was born into this kind of life, living in a small town / Village and we farmed and made and grew most things we consumed.
That was almost 65 years ago boy it brings back great memories.
I could almost smell and taste the Bread and most of the food you guy's enjoyed.
Your Aunt is spot on your neighbours would have surplus of something and you would have something they were short of and you just looked after each other.
Thank You all for the memories.
Your aunt Galya is really a wonderful woman!. She has so many good qualities and her property with those nice animals and greeneries is just a jewel, as she has everything she needs for living. Her pancakes are so delicious and she also produces a fantastic jam and what about that bread, so crusty! A fairy tale! Moreover this part of Russia is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this awesome video with us.
Hi there, yes, you are totally right. I agree on every word. Actially Russia has got so many breathtaking places, and wast lands...She is just one of the kind!
@@tanyamir09 Thank you
Beautiful country life. Aunt Galya is a hard working woman and her embroidery is just beautiful. It's good to have a hobby. I would like to visit Aunt Galya too, to see her flower garden and the cats. It was nice you helped with the weeding. It reminds me of the farm my in-laws had, 60 years ago in Germany..Almost the same setting. I am now 81 yrs, living in Australia and also baking my own bread.
I wish this war will go away soon. I am really ashamed of the Russian bashing that's going on in the German mainstream media. We people are all the same, Russian, Ukraine, European, Australian etc. We just want to live in peace.
Thank you so much for this video! Aunt Galya is a wonderful Russian woman and reminds me of people I met on several visits there. Village life is how my Slovak grandmother continued to live here in the US. Oh, this makes me miss my Baba!
My Slovak grandmother was the same!
Stay strong Russian brethren,may your Motherland be blessed & prosperous always,with utmost humility and respect from a indebted Indian🇷🇺🇮🇳
Летние каникулы раньше дети проводили в деревнях, у бабушек и дедушек. И это было самое прекрасное и счастливое время. Целый бень на улице, босиком, парное молоко, клубника прямо с грядки, купались в речках, гоняли на велосипедах, лопали бабушкины пирожки и аладушки с вареньем, а вечером все соседи собирались у костра, пели песни, запекали картошку в костре.... эхххх вернуть бы детство❤
Muito lindo
Eu já vivi no interior do nordeste brasileiro quando era criança, e posso dizer que é algo realmente muito lindo. Me lembro de uma noite eu com meus primos corremos atrás de alguns porcos no meio do mato kkkk sempre que sinto cheiro de terra molhada lembro de lá
я тоже в детстве проводила по три месяца в деревне каждое лето, но лично у меня это были крики, побои, принудительная работа на огороде утром, днем и вечером и 2 часа в день прогулки с друзьями, когда мы босиком бегали по деревне, лазали по деревьям, плавали в озере, бегали в лес. Хоть в детстве для меня это было все равно что ссылка к бабушке, которая нас откровенно ненавидела и делала все, чтобы испортить нам там жизнь, но я все равно с большой любовью вспоминаю деревню. Чудесное место, природа, животные, детство
Another masterpiece by Slava. Very nice seeing the family coming together at Aunt Galya in her village again. What a lovely and friendly woman she is, hard working from childhood but not sorrow as she stated in another video.
Slava's concluding words are saying it all: Village life in the countryside doesn't change much over decades regardless what is going on the big wide world around ....
I love watching videos of small town ways
Вячеслав, спасибо за хорошие обзоры настоящей России.
Мира всем🙏🏻
Such a beautiful video of all of you together with Aunt Galya in the countryside. Such a warm feeling comes over me whenever I see her and her home with all the homemade food, decor, hand made doilies, bedding and the yard/garden.
It takes me back to a time within my youth when things were much simpler. 😌
My greatest hope is to someday visit Russia, thanks to all of your videos I know all the good places to go💃🏻
My prayers are that this current situation comes to an end soon and that all of you maintain good health and well being in the meantime. 🙏
This really reminds me of when I go back to Italy to visit my grandparents in the countryside. Very peaceful. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them!
Your Aunt Galya specializes in something money never buy and no bureaucrat can ever take or give and that is love. To see her beautiful smile and the warmth of love from her eyes when she sees your family is so priceless. I think you should live there and make a living remotely. Allow your Aunt to teach you the old ways of being a true self sufficient Russian.
Your Aunt Galya is living the best life there! Beautiful countryside....if I lived there I would be visiting Aunt Galya every weekend!!! Very enjoyable vlog
Great episode. I love dill. Your Mom rockin’ a Scorpions t-shirt??? Cool Mom👍
Yes! Thank you! it's an original one. She got it at the concert!

You're blessed with Aunt Galya. Cherish the moment while you can. Big hugs and love to her she's an amazing grandma. Get some nephews for her hehe. Namaste from Nepal 🇳🇵
I want to remind you how great your content is. You have greater meaning and purpose in your vlogs than most. Even though you may travel to a different country and or location, you are not simply a travel vlogger. Your interviews, your personal stories, your ethnography, and more sets you apart. You are missed. But I understand. And I believe you are continuing to do good things. 👍
i always dreamed of visiting the russian hinterland. now i'm afraid i can bury my dreams until further notice. nevertheless: what an incredibly beautiful country and what incredibly great people. Galyas modesty reminds me of my own grandmother, who was also living on the countryside and made everything herself. thanks for this video!
Very nice video. It reminds me of visiting my grandparents farm in north central Wisconsin. The food there was always so much fresher and tastier than what you can buy in the city. Also great to see Vika again. I'm from southern Wisconsin, but I used to go deer hunting in the Minong area where she stayed and I often go hiking in the parks she visited.
I loved this video! Such a simple, self-sustaining life is harder to come by these days in many places. I grew up on a farm out in the country, and miss it a lot. Aunt Galya seems like such a sweet, happy lady. 😊
What a lovely family and a wonderful family time at the countryside. Everything is natural, homemade and fresh
Долгих лет тёте Гале!!!
I love this video,it was so heartwarming, I miss my grandmother so much when I watch this video.
Ive always loved Russian people and their culture
I love your channel! Thank you for all your hard work. Please post more of these Russian countryside videos. They are so beautiful! Also, I would love to collect Aunt Galya's recipes! I have tried making rye bread, using a sour dough starter, but it failed. Her bread looked wonderful 😋
Thank you and your beautiful family for these great videos.
The way it was and still should be! Awesome video. Would love to visit the countryside.
I admit, every time, I start to watch one of your videos, I always have to watch it to the end.
The videos you make, are always so warm and real, and you make us feel, we're just there with you and your beautiful family.
Aunt Galya, is of course a great wonderful active person could be the dream aunt or grandma for everyone.
I know some Russians, and have been in Russia several times, and it reminds me about a dacha life...
Thank you again for sharing such a great video, and I'm looking forward to watch your next one.
My mom passed a few years back and recently I had a memory of her making fresh bread. So I have been making my own every week instead of getting it from the store. It just taste so much better and I'm not even a big bread person. I miss a lot of the older meals my family had growing up that seems less and less folks cook. One thing I'm glad was when I was little mom taught me how to cook too so I would never have to depend on some one else to cook for me (or starve while single)...lol
I truly enjoyed your video. And frankly Im glad the sanctions arent hurting the Russian people to badly. Your Aunt is amazing. Im 63 years old and I would love to be able to bake my own bread! That bread looked delicious!
So glad to see that Aunt Galya is doing well. I hope that her son helps her in the garden because that is a lot of hard work. She has her hands full between the animals and making food. Happy that you and your family seem to be doing well too. Best wishes, Kim
Does aunt Gayla have a husband?
Your show has a wonderful, humanizing quality to it! Your show provides a welcome contrast to media bombardment and propaganda of a different sort and a harsh tone. As a side note, I'm from Maine and I grow a lot of dill. I love it and my wife and boys love it too. :) We're not all against dill...
Thanks for sharing. Yes, it's understandable why in the US media enforce such propaganda about Russia. "Society is evolving, but people are still trying to make sense of today's reality with the use of outdated but familiar concepts, manipulations and strategies. We are always in captivity to concepts and the images they give birth to, regardless of whether these concepts are suitable for us or not. A person is liberated only when he himself gives birth to new concepts and moves forward, developing his concepts to comprehend today's world." - Fedor Shkrudnev (article "Meaning" July 4, 2022)
@@tanyamir09 how would you like the concept of a Ukrainian bomb falling on your house, stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine now.
You have a great family and your Aunt Galya is so sweet and hard working! Reminds me of growing up in the countryside in Wisconsin; currant bushes on the farm, strawberries, home cooked meals. Very much like visiting my Grandma and Grandpa's farm. Thanks you for the wonderful journey Slava! P.S., you have reminded me that I have to go weed my currant bushes! 🍓
From what I can see the Russian reality looks like a wonderful life. Your Aunt is a lovely person.
Greetings aunt Galya, from New Zealand. I just love your flower garden it's absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
@RussianPlus Those scenes are the same from villages near Poltava ! Warms my heart to see that people, real people are about hospitality, growing their garden and sharing fond memories with their family. I am glad you didn't use the vernacular name for dill btw ;)
Thanks Slava for such an amazing video with a scent of nostalgia (as for me). Dear viewers, you can be sure that all the Russian villages, babushkas, chickens, tablecloth, rooms, and kittens look the same everywhere in Russia! I watched the video and every detail is so well-known by me.
And really appreciate Slava's humor in videos 🤣👏👏👏
thanks a bunch for your support guys. I agree Russian villages are very similar:) i’m glad someone likes my jokes 😂
Not really. The house is brick and has running water (heater?). It is not that common and not even that convenient in more distant villages, esp for elderly living without much support.
The household is kinda messy and uncared for at he same time though.
I d say MOST babushkas live in more minimal conditions but go more hardcore in their garden.
It’s individual to this family.
Main thing they are happy
I love you people! Keep up the hard work . I pray for mother Russia!
Really like how you have oldschool countryside in Russia, can't find that in Croatia anymore, everyone is fleeing from rural areas and I cant recall last time eating domestic food, except eggs and little bit of vegetables, when I get home. Veliki pozdrav za tetu Galya-u :)
za tetu Gal'u )) Hvala vam
Beautiful country, beautiful people. I am old also and grew up on a farm and in my old age I have returned to a farm. Rural life and rural self-sufficiency are good. I very much enjoyed your program.
I really enjoyed this video. Your Aunt seems like she is such a nice woman. It's too bad we have such terrible things going on in the world. I wish the whole world could live in harmony and enjoy each other's company and share each others way of life Anyway, great video, thanks for sharing.
yes, i agree. most people are good people with kind hearts and good intentions. and then there’s that tiny bunch that messes up things for the rest of us. they don’t give a damn about human lives. unfortunately Russia has a history of its leadership totally abusing the power.

@@RussianPlus Slava, those damn seagulls; not only shitting up your wonderful bridge, but polluting the water below for summer swimmers too! 😟. Please take your.20 gauge single shot the next time and show them the fast way to heaven 🤜
Also, don't eat too many of those magic mushrooms at one time, or you will be tripping like a hippie boy from the 1960s! 🥳
Yes, I Have the same memories of my childhood and upbringning - the most wonderful times of all! Even though, I grew up in regime.
My Russian family immigrated through the Port of Galveston Texas. I didn’t even know people came through Texas. My Great- Grandfather worked at the port for a year before he could bring his wife and children. Then they went to Detroit for work for a very short time. Then moved to Los Angeles in the early 1920s. He was a baker 🙂
Great to know! Yes, there were a lot of immigrants back in those days, so good that they found home for them.
I did some ancestry research lately and was blown away to find out my Lebanese great great grandmother arrive in 1890s through a port in New Orleans. It’s interesting how different migration routes brought them to different ports.
I live near the port of Galveston. Up until 1900, it was considered the Wall Street of the South. Huge commerce hub. Now it's almost all tourist-oriented, which all goes away when a hurricane hits, or when the economy dries up.
I love Russian countryside. Watched from Cambodia countryside, thank you much my friend.
Thankyou for showing us your amazing aunts farm, she makes her home so beautiful.
Who doesn’t like dill? 🤷🏻♀️ What a beautiful family! And love all the kitty cats 🐈💕
Russian Plus is awesome. Thanks for the content.
thank you 😊
Thanks, Slava for this fascinating, uplifting and heartwarming video. Your aunt is such an industrious woman with great values and common sense. Unfortunately, people like her are not so prevalent in our world today. Many people could learn so much from her just by observing her everyday lifestyle. By the way, I love dill. I have a recipe that a friend from Germany gave me for cooking a pork tenderloin. It uses fresh dill, onions, paprika and white wine. It is so delicious 😋. It is great to have some spaezle as a side dish with it. Dill pickles and dill relish are also quite tasty. Sanctions seem to hurt the common people more than any government or their leaders. All I can do is pray for understanding and peace for all people everywhere. I realize that is an "impossible dream" but we must always strive for a world where everyone can live their lives in peace. Take care and have a safe, healthy and happy month of July. 👍🤗❤️🙏🌎

I really enjoyed watching this video. It's so cool to be able to see life in Russia through your camera lenses. Thumb up, subscribed and shared.
Oh man, we need more PPL like you. All the best from your Polish subscriber
Really loved watching the video and getting glimpses of the routine life in the Russian countryside
My mother who is 96 and the youngest in her family, had sisters who prepared meals for the people who worked on a farm in the 30s. It was just like your mother described with milkmaids and enormous calorie meals. The flowers are Veronica.
My Godmother cooked for their ranch hands back in the day, she is dead now but she would be nearly 120 were she living.
And they were all thin and healthy
What a pleasant family gathering! Thank you for posting.
Videos from Aunt Galya's farm are my favorites. Great place and beautiful countryside around. The food looks so good as well, it's making me hungry...
Wonderful video story telling Slava @RussianPlus I enjoy it when you show your family life. It shows what kind of a person you really are. You have a nice family, though I am a little worried about Vika - she seems depressed. So, I hope she finds some joy again. I know that unexpected things come up in our lives and they can take a turn. I trust she will ultimately grow and become a wise young lady. She has so much in front of her, but she will have to see that for herself! Aunt Galya is wonderful. I love her lifestyle, with her chickens, kitties (company and love no doubt), garden, and generous and humorous spirit. It's good to see sweet Elina by your side too. About the "pancakes"; they look more like crepes - a thin form of "pancake", French in origin I believe, and usually rolled with goodies inside, to me. They look delicious.
Off camera she's ok:) when the camera is on she hates me lol.
I always envy the simple farming life out in the beautiful, green countryside !! Then I remember that it probably involves a lot of hard work, and unfortunately I am lazy, and I need the modern conveniences.
Oh, Russia! ua-cam.com/video/D5-We6lqYCw/v-deo.html
