the russian embassy gets one aswell maybe i will give them a 1x1 cm carpet just kidding iam sorry for everything but think about it that way it would have taken you maybe a year of work to get such carpets which stay for a life
I think this is one of the best videos about Uzbekistan that I’ve ever seen! Apart from the stunning architecture, I really especially loved the interview with your Aunt, she is a very wise woman 😊 🇺🇿 🇷🇺 🌍
I loved the aunt's self-description as a bird. In the US, we have the term "snowbird" for people who follow summer & winter the way she does. Again, proof that people are people, everywhere. 🥰
I am from Former Yugoslavia and love that modest furniture and beautiful kitchen set in the modest communist apartments .It is very nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood.Great memories.

Ташкент это был самый богатый город Кокандского ханства, много золота и шелка, только за счет налогов транспортных шелкового пути. Если только почитать узбекские народные сказки это видно. Но пришла Россия и спасла людей от чрезмерного богатства. Второе видео подряд оказывается продвигается идея что страны ЦА обязан совку и рашке. Это не так взять только факт что Кыргызстан весь газ это узбекский газ, захваченный на границе Газпромом и перепродается по завышенной цене. Это заказной канал оказывается, пропаганда.

I love the way how you portrait ‘regions’ by putting people in the center. People in all their diversity, but with the same underlying dreams, worries and desires everywhere. What a great message shared by your wise aunt (?) at the end: Accepting the ‘isness’ of life is truly a secret key to happiness. Great video (again).
I visited Tashkent back in 1982. I went on an organised trip and flew from London to Moscow and visited Bukhara, Tashkent, Samarkand and Leningrad. It was my third trip to the Soviet Union. I traveled with my brother and I remember my Mother crying before we set off on our holiday thinking she’d never see us again. Lol. I was 21 years old. In Tashkent I remember women upon seeing us smiling to show off their gold capped teeth. It was the height of fashion for women in Tashkent to have gold capped teeth during that time. I have very fond memories of the Soviet Union. I recently subscribed to your great channel. Diolch Eli.
It brought a tear to my, it was so beautiful to see the poorest people of the land's poorest area being given buildings from different cities and states! So lovelyl! Love from the foothills of northern Hungary
Узбекистан не был бедным, он был таким же как и другие советские города и республики. Просто землетрясение уничтожило все до основания и этот город восстанавливали всей советской страной. Вам следует посетить Узбекистан, уверен вам там очень понравится.
The concept of poor is not the same in many cultures as it is in Western Europe and North America! People are not poor simply because they don't have a fancy house and fancy possessions. When people have a decent and functional house to live in, food, healthcare and education, necessities, family, friends, community, etc., they are not poor!
Beautiful colourful architecture from Soviet period as artful historical murals, also presented by the beautiful stations. The Soviet architectural beauty is maintained intact. The fruits and traditional food are awesome. Thanks Eli for sharing, your excursion work is excellent. God bless your good works.😊👑
I am so glad Eli got to see her family, they are such fine people. The buildings, architecture and energy of the place is quite incredible. Uzbek/ Tashkent is awesome, the place and the people have incredible history.
I never went to Uzbekistan but have spent several months in Almaty, Kazakhstan. A lot of similarities of course. People very warm and friendly. Your grandmother is inspiring.
Tashkent is more busy and vibrant than Almaty in my opinion...Almaty look like a dystopian city with weird new buildings and vast flat land with so little people xD.
I am an American from San Francisco, California living in Oslo, Norway. Your video is very enlightning for me because I have two friends that live here who are originally from Uzbekistan. Now I understand their background more. Very good video and now I am a new subscriber and look forward to viewing your other videos, Keep up the great work😃
I visited Uzbekistan 9 years ago, and loved it. There is something about central Asia. I found the people friendly and welcoming. It is good the country is relaxing it's regime following the death of Karimov. I love plov/pilov and the bread is wonderful too.....and the vodka. I hope you cover more of the country, it is amazing.
As Usual, your video on Uzbekistan displayed your brilliant talent and ability to highlight the important elements of any place you visit. Always fascinating - thank you.
Eli, once again the best part of your reporting is the interaction you have with the children. Kids know who they should like or mistrust. Glad they know to like you . The locals, scenery, your hard work are allways great too. Blessings to you and yours. Thanks.
I loved listening to your Korean friend talking about why Koreans were deported to Central Asia because the same thing happened to my ethnic group. We are Ahiska Turks and my grandparents were deported from Meskheti Georgia to Samarkand, Uzbekistan which is where my parents were born and raised
Stalin move around many ethnic group all over Russia...mostly because they do not want that particular ethnic group to rised up and rebel, not because they look like something else...that is why he relocated many Crimean tartars to Siberia because if the Tartar stay at Crimea that are near to Turkey they might rise up and rebel. Same with Circassia people who forcefully kick out from Circassia and many today like in Syria and Turkey. Only the Chechen stay and fought long enough until the Russian gave up lol.
@@neznamtija8081in Kazakhstan it’s very common for educated people speaking 3 languages: Kazakh, Russian and English. I can name 10+ people among my friends speaking 4 languages, 4th language mostly being Turkish.
Matthew you really to go to Russia and the republics if you can. I had not believed western media for a very long time before I went the first time for Christmas /New Year 2002-03 to visit my now wife. I went with an open mind and was still more than very pleasantly surprised. Beautiful country and wonderful, friendly and helpful people. Even the police were polite and friendly on the occasion we went to change the address of where I was staying in case I needed to be contacted.
Ever since I was a child, I've been fascinated with Central Asia. Often I would dream of it's place in history, the Silk Road, and the allure of it's mysticism. What was it like living in the moment, as Paul Cooper of Fall of Civilization would often put it. Now as a middle aged, I really need to fulfill this childhood fascination before I'm unable to, physically. Great video as always, Eli. I love your aunt's perspective. She has such a wonderful soul, adventurous like yourself. Only thing missing is you meeting with Kostja from Inside Russia and members of the Tashkent Breakfast Club. That would have been a great added bonus. ❤
When the video flashed the inscription "For the people of Toshkent from your brothers from Belarus" and "from Tula city to Toshkent" I was astonished, then when I heard the background music, tears suddenly overwhelmed my eyes. I am not from the USSR but there's a feeling like I missed the Soviet Union, I can't explain it. The Soviet Union showed the world that unity can achieve many great things, especially in terms of the well-being of the people.
A lovely video! When I learned about Russia in school Tashkent was in USSR (I am about the same age as your relative). I was very impressed with what I learned & always wanted to visit. Thank you for the conversations, the sites, architecture & glimpse of the brotherhood shown by Soviets. I've traveled some of the world & wish now I had made a point of visiting Russia. Thank you for the tour of all these amazing places!
@@ElifromRussia Thank you for all your beautiful videos of Russia. With all the lies told to us by our western governments ; your videos bring a feeling of hope for the future .
8:59 I think it's so cute how he said Uzbeks are trained to sit like that ! I've always believed that was a normal way to sit cause that's how we sit in my family. It goes to show we're all more similar than different ❤
Another wonderful video Eli, Central Asia is so welcoming, interesting and unique. I stayed in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for a few months earlier this year actually in some of the places you visited, it was a real eye opener for me and I can’t wait to return, Tashkent is definitely on my list!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Grazie! utterly beautiful! You’re back! Love this vlog, not only because it’s about Uzbek but your views which are balanced, objective and eloquent. Good interviews. I’d say this is journalism. That said, love the architecture (the woodwork/carpentry is stunning. I can see similarities a mix of soviet/persian/kashmiri architecture/culture. Fabulous! More! More! More! 😂😂😂 I hope you stay longer and explore Samarkand/bukhara too. Keep inspiring. Love it! Stammi bene Cara x
I always enjoy your interviews, Eli. You have a talent of making people feel comfortable talking with you and answering your questions. Thanks again for highlighting some interesting facts about a country and its people.
Thank you Eli for sharing this beautiful short video of Tashkent! I m so impressed with the culture, traditions, architectures and of course the food 😊Definitely will visit Uzbek one day. Greetings from Malaysia 😊
I'm from the Czech Republic, I took my son on vacation last week. We passed through Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The main difference between Western Europe and the East is the people. In the east they are much friendlier. I have visited more than thirty countries of the world and I can confirm with certainty that the drier the country, the better the people.
I have been to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and I agree with you people were amazing 😍 so I visited them again and again several times. I hope you also visited Semerkand and Bukhara in Uzbekistan cause the Uzbek traditional architecture is so beautiful. Those cities are like a time machine. And fun fact Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Babur's Grandson and Emperor Babur was the grand son of the Uzbek Emperor Timur.
Great video, thank you, a most beautiful city, and the food certainly does look delicious. Tashkent is great credit to everyone who rebuilt it and who infuse it with their lively vital cultures!
The sign of a good travel/geography video is that it makes you want to visit the place. In this sense your video really succeeded. Thanks for a good portrayal of Toshkent and the Uzbek. people.
Wow what a beautiful area!! So clean and intricate in style. The station's mix of modern and constructivism, I want to visit there. I love your videos! Cheers from California USA❤
My extended family still lives in Uzbekistan. Best wishes from Moscow, Idaho, an area full of Volga Germans. Our family first contacted our kin cousins in 1978. They were reformed Lutherans from Saratov Oblast and Odesa.

I love the inclusion of Gena on one of the mural edifices. 💓🐊 (13'34") Your approach to respectfully honouring the collective efforts of Soviet peoples touches my heart so deeply. ...and your aunt's family's apartment is stunning. Thank you for your beautiful heart, a heart I see reflected in many of your posts ❣️💐🤩
Very very interesting, so as usual. It is a great pleasure to follow your instructive vlogs. Thank you very much, dear Eli, for showing us nice people from the great family of the humanity! Greetings from Zurich Swizerland !
This was great - so interesting. I like to watch Elvira's channel "On the Way" where she shows viewers many aspects of life in Uzbekistan ( and some neighboring places), so this was really great to see Tashkent from your perspective, Eli. You always put high quality and interesting stuff out there - keep up the good work!
My chinese name was An Xx,the first name AN was thought to be from a country called “the country of An”originally in Chinese history book. Experts have verified that this An country is located in today’s Bukhara of Uzbekistan.so So what a excited feeling to see Eli who I like coming to the country that I like
Eli, like all your videos, so much informative in all aspects and so well presented, no words can express enough my gratitude and appreciation, bol'shoye spasibo.
Эли... Вы дали важную информацию о жизни СССР в Узбекистане и жизни русских в Узбекистане.... Поскольку я из Индии, для меня это совершенно новая информация об СССР. Ваша татарская няня рассказала реальную историю жизни во времена СССР.... Большое спасибо, Эли.... Вы поделились большим количеством информации об СССР, которую мы никогда не слышали до 1990 года!!!
Great work as usual, but gotta say your closing thoughts really resonated with me. Sure, we often hear that kind of thing in our daily lives, but the way you and your aunt put it was exactly how I needed to hear it right now. Thus, I thank you twice!
Thanks, Eli I've been following you for years. I'll be vlogging for my first time in Sri Lanka in a couple months and am currently doing research about (vlogging) Uzbekistan. This sure does help.
Eli- My wife & I simply love you. You put out the best videos, & we are always impressed & astonished with your content. Thank you so much for helping to educate us senior citizens. It's amazing how much beauty in land & people that there is on that side of the globe. Have a beautiful day! Cheers!! WE LOVE YOU ELI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now as a middle aged, I really need to fulfill this childhood fascination before I'm unable to, physically.
Great video as always, Eli. I love your aunt's perspective. She has such a wonderful soul, adventurous like yourself.
Only thing missing is you meeting with Kostja from Inside Russia and members of the Tashkent Breakfast Club. That would have been a great added bonus. ❤
danke das du mich mitgenommen hast❣schöne Plätze auf deiner Reise
When the video flashed the inscription "For the people of Toshkent from your brothers from Belarus" and "from Tula city to Toshkent" I was astonished, then when I heard the background music, tears suddenly overwhelmed my eyes. I am not from the USSR but there's a feeling like I missed the Soviet Union, I can't explain it. The Soviet Union showed the world that unity can achieve many great things, especially in terms of the well-being of the people.
Love your aunty💗Love Uzbek friendly welcoming people from Korea, no wonder everyone helped them rebuild!
A lovely video! When I learned about Russia in school Tashkent was in USSR (I am about the same age as your relative). I was very impressed with what I learned & always wanted to visit. Thank you for the conversations, the sites, architecture & glimpse of the brotherhood shown by Soviets. I've traveled some of the world & wish now I had made a point of visiting Russia. Thank you for the tour of all these amazing places!
Thanks for sharing!
Canada here. Very interesting and informative. I love all your work . Don't give the haters any of your precious time .
Thank you very much!
@@ElifromRussia Thank you for all your beautiful videos of Russia. With all the lies told to us by our western governments ; your videos bring a feeling of hope for the future .
Thank you Eli and everyone in the program , i like your programs Eli dear .
I haven't been to Uzbekistan. But I want to say hello to everyone from Siberia.
Hello from Uzbekistan, Tashkent city. I heard that your language sounds familiar to Uzbek language. Is it Turkic?
@@simplicity7782 Hello. In Russia, almost everyone’s first language is Russian. And so do we.
@@lucyfromsiberiaI wish I had. One day an American friend
Again you bring the world together! So much appreciation for your travels and videos! Thank you!
8:59 I think it's so cute how he said Uzbeks are trained to sit like that ! I've always believed that was a normal way to sit cause that's how we sit in my family. It goes to show we're all more similar than different ❤
all Asian must know how to sit like that...even in Palaces like in Japan and Korea ministers and King sit like that
Another wonderful video Eli, Central Asia is so welcoming, interesting and unique. I stayed in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for a few months earlier this year actually in some of the places you visited, it was a real eye opener for me and I can’t wait to return, Tashkent is definitely on my list!
You should definitely visit!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Grazie! utterly beautiful!
You’re back! Love this vlog, not only because it’s about Uzbek but your views which are balanced, objective and eloquent. Good interviews. I’d say this is journalism.
That said, love the architecture (the woodwork/carpentry is stunning. I can see similarities a mix of soviet/persian/kashmiri architecture/culture. Fabulous! More! More! More! 😂😂😂 I hope you stay longer and explore Samarkand/bukhara too. Keep inspiring. Love it! Stammi bene Cara x
A little addition: Yes, there is Soviet and Persian influence. But first of all Uzbekistan is a Turkic country.
@yavuz2638 Yes, and her aunty was answering Eli's questions in a Turkic language, I could understand from some of the words and the suffixes.
Really a fantastic video. Extremely enjoyable and educational.
This is a very interesting tour. Thank you Eli!
I loved the video. And those Pilavs really opened up my appetite. I learn a lot with your videos. Keep on the good work👍
I always enjoy your interviews, Eli. You have a talent of making people feel comfortable talking with you and answering your questions. Thanks again for highlighting some interesting facts about a country and its people.
I appreciate that, thank you!
Thank you Eli for sharing this beautiful short video of Tashkent! I m so impressed with the culture, traditions, architectures and of course the food 😊Definitely will visit Uzbek one day. Greetings from Malaysia 😊
Hell from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿 I will definitely visit Malaysia one day inshaalloh ❤
I'll be in Uzbekistan in 2 weeks time for vacation ! I can't wait. Khiva, Bukhara, Samarqand and Tashkent.
I'm from the Czech Republic, I took my son on vacation last week. We passed through Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The main difference between Western Europe and the East is the people. In the east they are much friendlier. I have visited more than thirty countries of the world and I can confirm with certainty that the drier the country, the better the people.
I have been to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and I agree with you people were amazing 😍 so I visited them again and again several times. I hope you also visited Semerkand and Bukhara in Uzbekistan cause the Uzbek traditional architecture is so beautiful. Those cities are like a time machine. And fun fact Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Babur's Grandson and Emperor Babur was the grand son of the Uzbek Emperor Timur.
Great video, thank you, a most beautiful city, and the food certainly does look delicious.
Tashkent is great credit to everyone who rebuilt it and who infuse it with their lively vital cultures!
The sign of a good travel/geography video is that it makes you want to visit the place. In this sense your video really succeeded. Thanks for a good portrayal of Toshkent and the Uzbek. people.
Wow what a beautiful area!! So clean and intricate in style. The station's mix of modern and constructivism, I want to visit there. I love your videos! Cheers from California USA❤
Thank you, Eli! One day I will definitely visit this beautiful place!
Eli, after every one of your beautiful videos, I want to travel to that place. 🎉
Thank you again Eli fore a wonderful and beautiful video. ❤
My extended family still lives in Uzbekistan. Best wishes from Moscow, Idaho, an area full of Volga Germans. Our family first contacted our kin cousins in 1978. They were reformed Lutherans from Saratov Oblast and Odesa.
@@Dawgcatcher2728 Did Volga Germans name the city Moscow due to their nostalgia about their homeland?
@@asliddinochilov4341 Washington State University has a German from Russia Center. They believe this to be true. There are other cities such as Odessa, Washington
@@Dawgcatcher2728 That's great. Do they know Russian or German?
@@asliddinochilov4341@asliddinochilov4341 They speak old 18th-century German, excellent Russian, and passable English.
Your grandmother spoke with such wisdom it was a joy to hear. 😁
I love the inclusion of Gena on one of the mural edifices. 💓🐊 (13'34") Your approach to respectfully honouring the collective efforts of Soviet peoples touches my heart so deeply. ...and your aunt's family's apartment is stunning. Thank you for your beautiful heart, a heart I see reflected in many of your posts ❣️💐🤩
You noticed too! And Cheburaska in front of Ghena 😊
You are a good interviewer. Great job, keep the videos coming. I learn from each encounter!
I enjoy your sharing different cultures Eli. From Ohio USA

This was great - so interesting. I like to watch Elvira's channel "On the Way" where she shows viewers many aspects of life in Uzbekistan ( and some neighboring places), so this was really great to see Tashkent from your perspective, Eli. You always put high quality and interesting stuff out there - keep up the good work!
Oh Eli, only you can be so beautiful as a person and you touch your vlogs with gold!

What a big and nice family you have, all of them are kind and wise.
Эли... Вы дали важную информацию о жизни СССР в Узбекистане и жизни русских в Узбекистане.... Поскольку я из Индии, для меня это совершенно новая информация об СССР. Ваша татарская няня рассказала реальную историю жизни во времена СССР.... Большое спасибо, Эли.... Вы поделились большим количеством информации об СССР, которую мы никогда не слышали до 1990 года!!!
Great episode thanks from the Netherlands.
Thanks for instructive video.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Beautiful city! I really enjoyed learning a bit about the country
Merci de m'avoir fait découvrir une partie de l'Ouzbekistan. Belle découverte
Awesome , amazing and spectacular ❤❤❤❤ lovely episode 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like the last few minutes of the video.
Very wise and honest comments we should all take a lot from 🙏
Never fail to impress
PS: your new subscriber 😊
Yay, welcome to my channel ☺️
I love your aunt. She is so wise. I share all her views and attitude towards life
Great work as usual, but gotta say your closing thoughts really resonated with me. Sure, we often hear that kind of thing in our daily lives, but the way you and your aunt put it was exactly how I needed to hear it right now. Thus, I thank you twice!
Thanks, Eli I've been following you for years. I'll be vlogging for my first time in Sri Lanka in a couple months and am currently doing research about (vlogging) Uzbekistan. This sure does help.
I love your show, thank you.
Come sempre: assolutamente stupenda! 👍🙏👏
Great videos- you show us places we in the west will probably never see!
So much rich culture…all cultures should be respected!
Eli- My wife & I simply love you. You put out the best videos, & we are always impressed & astonished with your content. Thank you so much for helping to educate us senior citizens. It's amazing how much beauty in land & people that there is on that side of the globe. Have a beautiful day! Cheers!! WE LOVE YOU ELI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
