I don't know about anyone else but I find the sound of Eli's voice so soothing. I watch her videos and listen to her voice and I can just feel the stress in my life going away. 🙂
You show us so much of your life and this is beneficial to me. Being alone now, as my wife of 54 years passed away, you have provided such a great calming and warm presentation as a gracious hostess and guide. Thank you for taking the time to share with so many of us, that do not travel far from our place...You've opened a window to the east that was so unfamiliar and unknown in years past..You are beautiful and have such a good loving spirit for other people...Thank you for your vlogs..Spaceba?? Mr William Hayward (Bill) 81 in Texas.....I love what you do ..God Bless and protect you on all your journeys...
@@g.s.632 Now I’m Texas the daytime temperatures have reached 105F and rain has been non-existent for a whole month. Why don’t creative people over there develop an experience called The Great Northern Russian adventure? Tourists from here would love to be able to say “I was in an area known for its frigid winters. “ The Creators would supply the clothing and equipment to the tourists or they could rent or purchase their own. Of course this would be feasible after peace comes again and all of our people get together again..❤️❤️🙏
You are just the most amazing diplomat for your country and your city. I would totally love to visit your city and if you ever find yourself in central California you will definitely have a home here. You are definitely able to find the beauty in life and share it with the rest of the world. Thank you for what you are doing.
You guys in Perm make winter fun and beautiful! The ice sculptures are amazing, and I love that gorgeous theatre. Your niece and nephew are adorable, and you have such a good heart to spend time with them. I think that most of your subscribers would agree that our favorite thing in Perm is Eli from Russia!
Dear Eli, Your Niece and Nephew are two of the cutest children that I have seen. Perm looks like a place that I would really like to see. I don't care what season it is, but I think that I would like to see it in the winter. Being a U.S. citizen that was born and raised in Europe, the winter time near Christmas has always been a magical time for me. God bless you and your family.
As a Canadian, I'm so impressed how your city has embraced winter like many cities do here as well. The opera house looked so lovely in the snow and is such a beautiful building, and that ice sculpture was incredible! Your niece and nephew are fortunate to have you as their aunt. So great you are teaching your niece English! Let's hope she can pick up the language and eventually use it to her advantage some day.
2:15 we call it RUSSIAN SALAD in Serbia, it is not a part of traditional serbian holliday lunch but we make it for almost every holliday. Especialy for new year.
I know that Russia is extremely rich in culture and that they also want to protect it. They're right! Here everything breaks down and ours is increasingly oppressed. My respect for the Russians! The nice thing about your videos is the way you present them. The performances are light, funny and you have a great knowledge of many things. I regularly watch your vlogs and really appreciate them. I think your family is a beautiful family, lovely children and your niece, or whatever she is, a typical babouchka. I have the impression that she has a warm personality and a very sociable person. Thanks for this vlog, Elly.
Woah Perm weather is crazy. Really hot in summer to really cold in winter. And people there can handle both. My greatest respect to people who live there.
A single place can have both industry AND culture. In fact, they generally go together as the local industry helps pay for and employs the people who enjoy those lovely cultural activities.
Cant stand the cold after being in hot Vietnam , but want to head over there in Russia as my forever home! Love seeing the kids enjoying the weather! Thanks for sharing!
Having had the great fortune to visit Russia, I can honestly say that Eli's videos understate what a beautiful country it is, and how lovely most people are; however, for me the first problem with going there is the visa. . . . . Then, after getting through the border, spending a whole day in a soviet era office with all sorts of problems and questions from officials to get my visa and passport registered each time, then when finally leaving the country, the long interrogation about exactly where I have been, what I have done, and what I spent all my money on. So, I will have to content myself with Eli's videos.
But no offense . Russia was subjected to large terrorist attacks in the 90s and early 00s (when houses, planes, bazaars, etc. were blown up, hospitals, schools, theaters were attacked), therefore foreigners are subjected to strict checks, since Russia does not want a repeat.
@@JO-nh6mo For example? United Police States of America ? Orwellian U.K. ? Open air concentration camp called Australia ? Reason i never was in USA is that fingerprint scanning at their airports ( from 2002 ?), i did not want to feel like criminal. Unfortunately, now we have biometric passports and newly biometric ID. But it started in USA, not in "communist homofibic Putinian" Russia.
Thanks a lot for this video. I have been living in Russia for more than 20 years and particularly love the north of Russia. I have been to Murmansk, Norilsk, Tomsk and many other cities but never to Perm. I love opera and have always wanted to see an opera at the Opera and Ballet Theatre. Well at least now I have seen it in your blog. Also there was an article in the New York Times about street art in Perm.
I don't know if I can stay outdoors in that cold. Yet one can not grasp the inner nature of self until has been exposed to it. Wonderful family, very cheerful children. What could one ask for more, other than a sea where blob fish lives.
I love watching your videos. And yes the snow does talk! It can get as cold as -50F here but average-40F for the coldest weeks. So squeaky snow is normal here too. Love the Nutcracker by the way, my daughter was in ballet for 10 years and she loved dancing in it
I am so happy to see the warm (friendly) fun and happy parts of this planet! Even if the temps might not be considered warm in any way, the giggles, smiles, and hospitality sown in this video makes me wish I could experience these places myself someday!
Perm a closed city during Soviet Union but Elina shows the cultural side, life, food and family. You edited greatly incorporating the sounds and ballet to other events. Nice Elina and thank you.
Love the ice sculptures in your city Perm 😊. Keep up your good work showing us good videos of your country Eli! Sending you much love from Norway 🇧🇻❤🙌🏻
thank you for sharing your hometown and beautiful family. i really enjoyed this video: the ice sculptures are wonderfully artistic, the opera is rich in tradition, and i identify having had nieces and nephews. i also had the pleasure of seeing "The Nutcracker" at the Blackstone Theater in Chicago back in the mid '80's...such a wonderful experience. stay warm Eli ! btw, this cradle to grave Catholic living in the Northern Michigan USA area will be in church praying for PEACE !
Seeing the lovely children doing things that kids all over the world do is refreshing. People are wonderful no matter their country. Thanks for sharing your family.
Visiting Perm and watching real Russian ballet would be amazing. Also, your niece and nephew are sweet kids and show how children are fun-loving and innocent everywhere.
I would absolutely love to visit Perm someday, especially in winter time! I live in Worcester, Massachusetts in the Northeast of the United States and right now, even as I type, we are experiencing a BLIZZARD. We might get over 12 inches of snow today! But I like to visit snowy places that actually know how to clear their streets and also know how to enjoy the weather instead of just complaining about it. (Worcester is a complainer place). Please keep making your videos! I love your perspective and outlook on things! (My next big trip will be with my soon to be wife to visit Romania where her family is from, but she has never been there)
bol'shoe spasibo Eli 👋 showing frozen winter of Russia . Remembering My Stay N office at Moscow , some time enjoying watching BALLET & OPERA at Bolshai Theatre . Moscow .
Hi, Thanks Eli for taking me on tour of your home city, Perm. I am impressed by culture of your city and has tempted me to visit someday. Your sister's family is cute and lovely. I am learning Russian as a beginner so that it will be useful for me when I visit Russia. спасибо и пока. Атул из Индии.
Hi Eli, just wanted to make a general comment having watched several of your videos. You're exceptionally talented and I admire your love of your country. It's most interesting to learn from someone who is not a stereotypical, blonde-haired and blue-eyed Slav but represents another nationality in the RF. Our countries are at loggerheads at the moment, but I hope we can all find our way to better days. Greetings from Boston. (You should try to visit us sometime- maybe after getting a nervous breakdown in Manhattan, it's saner here...)
Where do you get such stereotypes about Slavs? Who teaches you such nonsense? This is racism in its purest form! In Russia, for example, “blond-haired, blue-eyed” is not a sign of a Slav. Even stereotypically in Russia it is something Scandinavian, perhaps German. And Wikipedia says that the proportion of very light eyes and hair among Russian Slavs is low. Russian Slavs for the most part have transitional characteristics between northern and southern European types. And in some regions, southern European types have an advantage. Or are these fake Russians? The ethnogenesis of the Russian people, as the largest people in Europe, is very complex and diverse from the very beginning. And besides this, there are also South Slavic peoples, who, although not Russian, are also Slavs. And they are dark-eyed brunettes. Or are they not the right Slavs?
Ice sculptures like that, is one thing I'd like to see in person. To create something so elaborate only to realize that it will melt away as if it never existed is testament to humanity's desire to create more than destroy. Kind of existential, actually...
Eli I absolutely adore your videos. I can't stop watching them. Thanks so much for showing me how diverse and beautiful your country is. Greetings from Australia 🦘🐨
Previet Eli. I know a lady in Perm...Valeriya...a lovely model. I.ve seen pictures of Perm but your videos are Excellent! I see you have Hip Hop& Rap in Perm? I.M a New York City native. The Birthplace of RAP!( I.M more of a Jazz fan🎷🎶🎵🎼) Keep up the good work. Extremely Important in these troubled times! Nations should try harder to get along❤Dasvidanya
Beautiful city for sure. The ice sculptures are amazing. Your niece and nephew are beautiful children. Your niece has your hair colour. She’s a beauty just like her auntie. I didn’t get a good look at your sister so maybe the good looks run all through your family.👍👍🇨🇦
Beautiful ice sculptures Eli. Your sisters children are so cute. It's - 18.9 C here at the moment. What a warm looking yellow scarf. Your dish is making me hungry. Glad you got to stay warm and watch the ballet. Your niece is a mini you ... double the carrot tops for sure.
I like the sound of the squeaky ❄️ snow. I used to work in the field doing minerals exploration and squeaky snow meant that the snow wouldn’t be melting, which made my feet wet and was a miserable weather condition. 0 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit was a more comfortable working condition than 32 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. February in northern Nevada usually brought a warming wind that turned the ground into a thick mud. I live in Hawaii now and I miss cold weather. I’m in the minority that way.
Thank you Eli for bringing me back to Perm again. Always thinking about what it looks like now after 6 years that I left. I remember very well inside the city center. Best touring is by bicycle. The embankment area is amazing and the lovely yellow cathedral. I wish you come back again in the summer to show us how lovely is the area.
Yes, we miss your videos. Glad that you take us to Perm with you. Your sister has the biggest smile and such beautiful kids. I don't know if Perm is the cultural city of Europe but I love that ice car! Your niece is going to make all the Blowfish jealous because she jas such pretty nails! Thank you for the tour and the special Ella kiss!!! 🥰
Hello 🙂 Eli!! I love the Perm opera and ballet 🎭 theatre!! It looks magnificent!! The ice ❄️ town looks incredible as well. It must take a serious amount of time and definitely a lot of creative talent to build that. Perm is a Winter ☃️ wonderland for sure!! Your niece is quite 😂 funny as well!! Take care, Eli!! 💚✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽💚
Harry potter music in russia winter.. Your niece is so cute and funny when she said she want to go to the sea after doing her nail polish. haha. Thanks for always sharing about russia. I love your videos Eli. I love your videos about Sami people and Chechen in grozny too. Very great videos. Keep it up.
Perm is truly a nice city and I think that it has the potential to be defined as a city of European culture, even if it isn't in U.E.. I love cold weather in winter and despite I am Italian, from Susa Valley, northern Italy, I'm used to cold temperatures (not so cold as in Russia). Com'é carina tua nipotina, ti assomiglia molto. Siete veramente una bella famiglia Grazie per questo bellissimo video
Dear Eli, thank you for preparing this beautiful video. Russia is a wonderful country. I lived and worked there in the 1990’s, and hope to return again soon. Love from Ireland.
Perm is a surprisingly modern and lovely city in summer. Winters are indeed harsh. Around the world, those who live in very cold places try to create a winter carnival of ice and snow. Eli's warmth makes up for the cold.
Hi Eli, Yes, I definitely agree that Perm should the cultural capital of Europe. There are so many things to see there and do. Thank you for sharing your home town with us. ❤
I would like to see Perm for the ballet alone! I totally forgot about the ballets in Russia and that they are indeed world famous! Looks like a lovely place!
Siberia and Northern Russia are kind of like Alaska in terms of geography and climate, except that the land area is many many times bigger than Alaska.
@@Stephen-ob3ij Yep, Kamchatka peninsula in the far east has a very similar if not identical climate and geography to the Alaska peninsula. Meanwhile interior Alaska is closer to the Siberian mainland.
I’d definetely like to visit Perm! It seems a very nice city, big but not too hectic, the ice sculptures are great, you have a beautiful theatre, some lovely old buildings, the view from the Kama bank is impressive. P.S. I also like those rappers!
Привет Eli)) -20°C maybe not my favorite temperature but spring, summer and autumn could be a best to spend time in Perm. Another great video Eli. See you next time. Пока Пока))
Dear Eli thank you for the lovely content! Without you I would never have known about Perm and the funny Perm band! I love your content. Cozy and informative....
I really appreciate your sharing life in Russia with us. I had no idea yours was such an ethnically varied country and the vastness of Russia has been a revelation to me. You've given me a new perspective on what beauty is and I have to agree that there is beauty in all sorts of unexpected places if we are willing to open our eyes and appreciate it. Thank you so much, Eli.
Love your city, Eli. It's full of life; enchanting with exciting events. Something to enjoy both in and outdoors. Ice sculptures are extraordinarily creative for the eyes to enjoy and kids to enjoy. Well done on how well your surroundings are implemented to exhibit creativity about your region. Your niece is beautiful and adorable; love her red hair, and yours too, uniquely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Keep at it. Stay safe and warm.👍👍🌼
New follower from Canada. I've watched a few episodes since Christmas and thought, I need to send you a compliment. This vlog was enchanting. You have a great channel, you are a very brilliant cultural journalist, with an eye for detail and beauty and hidden treasures ! The hidden treasure doll you leave at cafes is awesome, it almost makes me want to go to Russia to find such an authentic souvenir. Thank you for presenting your home and the North in such joyful elegance. You have a sweetness in your personality that is warm and sincere. Canadians love many of the same things as Ural Russians I think. The beauty of snow, skating, hockey Winter, The Nutcracker (which is only a tradition here around bigger cities like Toronto and Montreal). Canadian kids also LIVE for what we call "snow days". rarely close schools here for cold, but often for snow that blocks up streets and travel. Pine & spruce trees, warm woolly hats. And Maple syrup ! I don't see any Maple syrup in Russia, this surprises me. I wonder do you have few Maple trees or is it just you don't love maple syrup like us ? The Ice sculptures were beautiful and your niece and nephew are so cute they could have their own UA-cam channel ! Great channel, great vlog, great colorful personality and joyful family moments with your funny and fun niece and nephew who made me laugh . By the way, I was a very good hockey player and I started skating about the same age at 4 years old. I know good skaters and have coached hockey and trained athletes. Your niece and nephew are very strong skaters - if that was their first time on skates, they will be skating or hockey champions ! Very great natural skaters, so great to see their joy on ice with you. Thanks again from wintery Canada, I look forward to more of your great and fresh work !
I don't know about anyone else but I find the sound of Eli's voice so soothing. I watch her videos and listen to her voice and I can just feel the stress in my life going away. 🙂

Thank you very much indeed for allowing us to discover your beautiful country and its nice people.
I loved watching your video :) I'm looking forward to the next one! Целую пока!
I have been in Perm 2 times in 2006 and 2009. In summer and winter and I loved it even more than St. Petersburg. Adorable ❤
EXCELLENT - MUCH THANKS - WONDERFUL ICE ECULPTURES
Harry potter music in russia winter.. Your niece is so cute and funny when she said she want to go to the sea after doing her nail polish. haha. Thanks for always sharing about russia. I love your videos Eli. I love your videos about Sami people and Chechen in grozny too. Very great videos. Keep it up.
It was Tchaikovsky’a music “The Nutcracker”, not Harry Potter
The ice city was a crystal palace fpr the kids. Beautiful.
Perm is truly a nice city and I think that it has the potential to be defined as a city of European culture, even if it isn't in U.E..
I love cold weather in winter and despite I am Italian, from Susa Valley, northern Italy, I'm used to cold temperatures (not so cold as in Russia). Com'é carina tua nipotina, ti assomiglia molto. Siete veramente una bella famiglia Grazie per questo bellissimo video
Dear Eli, thank you for preparing this beautiful video. Russia is a wonderful country. I lived and worked there in the 1990’s, and hope to return again soon. Love from Ireland.
OMG, I'm from Perm and I really like this video. My city is so beautiful! Thanks for these amazing emotions❤
Perm is a surprisingly modern and lovely city in summer. Winters are indeed harsh. Around the world, those who live in very cold places try to create a winter carnival of ice and snow. Eli's warmth makes up for the cold.
Wow ice sculpture.!!Yet its too cold for me...summers would be better🙂 Спасибо 💐for showing us some of the Balet.
It's so soothing to see these lovely little kids playing around ice💜❤️💜 and as always i amuse by the vibe of Russian weather. Beautiful country.!!
Hi Eli,
Yes, I definitely agree that Perm should the cultural capital of Europe. There are so many things to see there and do. Thank you for sharing your home town with us. ❤
Most beautiful ice monument
I ve ever seen
Nice and symphatic niece and nephew
Greetings from Italy
Ciao Eli
I do not like the cold, but I would definitely visit Perm to see the ice sculptures they build there. Thank you or taking use to your home town Eli ♥
Your niece is so sweet, may God protect her!
Your video is fabulous, such a lovely mix of sightseeing, culture and thanks for sharing your warm family.
Your niece and nephew are adorable.
Da, I think I would like to visit Perm, similar to Winnipeg Canada!!!! Love the little girl speaking Russian!!! So cute!!!
Thank you for sharing it with us. One of your best episodes.
I would like to see Perm for the ballet alone! I totally forgot about the ballets in Russia and that they are indeed world famous! Looks like a lovely place!
What an adorable niece! OMG
Siberia and Northern Russia are kind of like Alaska in terms of geography and climate, except that the land area is many many times bigger than Alaska.
Indigent Alaskans have Siberian ancestors.
Sorta, Siberia is colder and is heavily larch while Alaska is more spruces.
Depends what part of Alaska, Fairbanks maybe, but the southern parts are more maritime influenced.
@@Stephen-ob3ij Yep, Kamchatka peninsula in the far east has a very similar if not identical climate and geography to the Alaska peninsula. Meanwhile interior Alaska is closer to the Siberian mainland.
@@hershellacey9405 Yes...the Chukhchi as they're called in Russian
❤ Eli & Russia ❤
Посикунчики sounds like hoochie-coochie )) Great editing on the video amd lovely town and family. Спасибо эли-sensei.
That pie reminds me of my mum used to make it from vegetables for us. Love from an Afghan fan
I’d definetely like to visit Perm! It seems a very nice city, big but not too hectic, the ice sculptures are great, you have a beautiful theatre, some lovely old buildings, the view from the Kama bank is impressive. P.S. I also like those rappers!
Ice sculptures are wonderful. Outdoor activities are simply amazing.
Привет Eli))
-20°C maybe not my favorite temperature but spring, summer and autumn could be a best to spend time in Perm.
Another great video Eli. See you next time. Пока Пока))
I would like to visit Perm to try those pies, see those beautiful ice sculptures and soak up some great ballet.
Dear Eli thank you for the lovely content!
Without you I would never have known about Perm and the funny Perm band! I love your content. Cozy and informative....
I find it very interesting I used to live a very Russian neighborhood so I know a little of the food and I ❤️it enjoy ur dinner!!!
Always happy to see Perm mentioned. My wife’s city. So many Russians say why go to Perm,but I love that cozy place.
I really appreciate your sharing life in Russia with us. I had no idea yours was such an ethnically varied country and the vastness of Russia has been a revelation to me. You've given me a new perspective on what beauty is and I have to agree that there is beauty in all sorts of unexpected places if we are willing to open our eyes and appreciate it. Thank you so much, Eli.
Love your city, Eli. It's full of life; enchanting with exciting events. Something to enjoy both in and outdoors. Ice sculptures are extraordinarily creative for the eyes to enjoy and kids to enjoy. Well done on how well your surroundings are implemented to exhibit creativity about your region. Your niece is beautiful and adorable; love her red hair, and yours too, uniquely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Keep at it. Stay safe and warm.👍👍🌼
It is always nice to go on a trip with you Eli!
New follower from Canada. I've watched a few episodes since Christmas and thought, I need to send you a compliment. This vlog was enchanting. You have a great channel, you are a very brilliant cultural journalist, with an eye for detail and beauty and hidden treasures ! The hidden treasure doll you leave at cafes is awesome, it almost makes me want to go to Russia to find such an authentic souvenir. Thank you for presenting your home and the North in such joyful elegance. You have a sweetness in your personality that is warm and sincere. Canadians love many of the same things as Ural Russians I think. The beauty of snow, skating, hockey Winter, The Nutcracker (which is only a tradition here around bigger cities like Toronto and Montreal). Canadian kids also LIVE for what we call "snow days". rarely close schools here for cold, but often for snow that blocks up streets and travel. Pine & spruce trees, warm woolly hats. And Maple syrup ! I don't see any Maple syrup in Russia, this surprises me. I wonder do you have few Maple trees or is it just you don't love maple syrup like us ? The Ice sculptures were beautiful and your niece and nephew are so cute they could have their own UA-cam channel ! Great channel, great vlog, great colorful personality and joyful family moments with your funny and fun niece and nephew who made me laugh . By the way, I was a very good hockey player and I started skating about the same age at 4 years old. I know good skaters and have coached hockey and trained athletes. Your niece and nephew are very strong skaters - if that was their first time on skates, they will be skating or hockey champions ! Very great natural skaters, so great to see their joy on ice with you. Thanks again from wintery Canada, I look forward to more of your great and fresh work !
