  • In this video I'm continuing my crossing by land of the Kolyma region, en route from Yakutsk to Magadan.
    Join me on this adventure from Ust-Nera, in the most remote part of Siberia, to Susuman, in a village that is even more remote, in the legendary Oblast of Magadan. The road that we are traveling on is, obviously, the legendary Kolyma Highway!
    Thanks to ‪@onzekereguy‬ for helping me out with the soundtrack for parts of this video.

    The Kolyma Highway is considered the most dangerous road in Russia for a variety of reasons. The area is essentially lawless, undeveloped, barely populated, and unbelievably remote. Just getting to either terminus at Magadan or Yakutsk is an adventure in itself - travelling along the road makes this look like buying a bus fare in comparison. Every year dozens of people die in the region from drowning, freezing, car accidents, starvation, tick-borne encephalitis, alcohol poisoning, fires, crime, wild animals, or just disappear.

    Construction of the Kolyma Highway was ordered by Stalin in 1932. Construction was to be carried out by the slaves and political prisoners of the many gulags scattered around the region of the Kolyma. That is how Ust-Nera was originally founded in 1935 - it was to be a settlement for the prisoners and the people involved in the construction of the road from Yakutsk to Magadan.
    You will hear it confirmed in the video that it was indeed the prisoners of the gulag who built this road. The road is treated as a memorial, as the bones of the estimated 250,000-1,000,000 victims who died while constructing it were laid beneath or around the road. As the road is built on permafrost, interment into the fabric of the road was deemed more practical than digging new holes to bury the bodies of the dead. This is why the Kolyma Highway has now the very creepy honour of being colloquially referred to as "The Road of Bones". Because it was literally built on the bones of the people who died while building it!

      Why did you have to hold the brakes on the car? Its a manual you can just park it in gear my handbrake never worked for my manual.
      edit: sorry im an idiot i just realized its probably cold AF so the guy didnt want to turn the car off to park it in gear.

    It's honestly a credit to the people that keep these cities and towns running despite these extremely harsh conditions. The mental and physical toughness of the locals is like granite.
