Dear Matt & Julia, Merry Orthodox Xmas. I upgraded my Patreon to $25.00. I can’t wait to receive my first post card. I’ve tried to message you via Patreon, but I guess you’ve been busy with the holidays. All the best for 2023! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Orthodox Xmas to you both and your family Julia, hope you have an amazing time, while you are both in Russia, , it’s always lovely to see you reconnect with your family, and hope to see more of your babushkas recipes in next vid, hope the new year celebrations were as good for you as they were In Yorkshire, n yeah why not a trip back to Blighty and come up to Gods own county of Yorkshire lol 😂, anyway as always have fun & enjoy your travels x
I am Egyptian and I lived 5 years in Tomsk where I graduated from uni, it's 4~5 hours away from Kemerovo. This video brought back a lot of memories about Siberia, I miss everything about Siberia, the people, the culture, the food (especially Borscht soup on a cold day when it's - 40 outside) and listening to batareika on a sunny day near Tom river while watching the sunset. Despite everything crazy going around in the world I consider Russia as my second home and can't wait to go back and visit every single place there. Send all the love to Russian people
Friend, I live in Tomsk :) We have a lot of students from India, China, Vietnam and African countries here. I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay with us) I hope you'll ever eat our pancakes again, which are sold right on the street "Siberian pancakes", you know :)
friend, I studied in Tomsk, I live in Kemerovo, I am glad that there are people who liked life in my harsh Siberian region. Come to Russia, let's drink tea with sweets, eat borsch😅 and go skiing
My wife and I have been blessed to travel throughout Russia from 1994 to 2020. We’ve met some of the most wonderful people, stayed in the homes of host families and experienced deep and lasting relationships. We’ve travel from St Petersburg to Sakhalin Island, from Vorkuta to Volgograd and between. I’ve been in some very remote areas, on the taiga and tundra. It’s my hearts desire to be able to make the trip one more time before I go yo heaven. Thank you for your work!!

Юлия, вы наверное чуть ли не единственный блогер из Кемерова, который наш город так популяризирует на мировом уровне. Спасибо вам. С удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео
I left a long message of my joy in this video and shared some of my own prior experiences in Russia 20 years ago but UA-cam ate it when I went to edit it! Suffice it to say, I will write again when I watch again because I am entranced and so warmed with your journey and your loving family life. Thank you for bringing us with you
@@elizabethpedano9564 You are a durak.. YOU are Wrong.. are you living there?? Have you been there (Provide Proof).. I have been to Russia RECENTLY in St Pete, MY PROOF... I was on the river in a boat in front of the Hermitage at midnight for the Bridge raising and 321 celebration (those whom know, will know what I mean) . Having said that, Yes Russian have faced inflation like the rest of the world... but when I visit supermarkets there are NO empty shelves (cannot say that about many American super markets)... Egss don not cost over $6 per dozen.. (or worse in the USA).. this is a beautiful Video about life in Russia... STOP WATCHING WESTERN PROPIGANDA... and quit lying to yourselves.. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris are world enemy #1 and #1a
Great perspective into everyday life !! Keep your down to earth style story telling.. explaining every day life as a regular citizen without any exaggeration or unnecessary dramatics. There’s plenty of people that would love to know how people really live, especially people like you guys that aren’t well off .. Stay grounded and I’m sure things will work out.
Oh my goodness, your video on the youtube was like a breath of fresh air. It was so refreshing and different from the usual content out there. I was genuinely interested in every second and it sparked a fire of inspiration within me. Your video left a lasting impression on my heart and mind.
Thank you for this video! Loved it! Enjoyed the showing of how everyday life can be in Siberia here. Enjoyed the heart touching moments such as the ice structures with the color changing lights, the fun sliding down the ice, the Christmas tree decorations, the decorating of ones home. I also enjoyed the skiing amongst an awesome beautiful valley as well with the fireworks shown off in a distance here. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you!
Amazing snow on the ski slopes! And what a fantastic view of the NY eve celebrations below. (no snow in the French Alps this winter, but plenty in Siberia!!)
Это же Шерегеш! :))) Там открывается сезон в России раньше других горнолыжных курортов именно потому, что снег ложится уже в конце октября. В России очень много горнолыжных курортов.
your landscape looks like ours in winter. I live in Minnesota USA. I hate shoveling lol I enjoy watching regular people in Russia because it matters more than all the crazy things going on that are dividing people when we are all the same.
Such a sweet video! Happy New Year! I am Russian, and I live in Moscow with my foreigner husband. We also have to deal with lots of bureaucracy. But sometimes the actual problem is not the bureaucracy itself, but incompetence of the staff. I guess this is what happened to you at Moi Dokumenti. The lady simply did not know that if you move around the country you are not required to register. Great you dealt with this situation with patient and sorted everything out. Thanks for the video again! Hope to visit Kuzbass next winter)
bureaucracy and corruption and incompetence is everywhere in the world where you have to deal with government......so Russia is no different than US, Canada or any other country
@@The_Eminence The level of corruption varies greatly between countries. Corruption in Canada is incomparable to the one in the Eastern Europe. It is like comparing polar and teddy bear. Both are bears but it is not the same being cuddled by both.
I have been to Siberia to work in December 2011 and I was in the Irkutsk Oblast mainly. Even by Canadian standard, I can tell that yes, Siberia is very cold. I have found the people of Siberia very kind, calm and fun.
Well, as a Russian from Siberia I can tell that winters start in Canada much earlier than here and end much later. For example now November 16 we don't have snow yet. The temp is still around +2 Celsius.
@@katyakravchenko4141 During the Soviet era, there was a system of assigning students to work after graduating from universities and colleges, that is, a student at the end of his studies had to work for three years at the place of his assignment to work. A geologist from Kiev University easily got a job in Siberia, and a graduate of the St. Petersburg Academy of Civil Aviation at the Tashkent Aircraft Factory. There were also various Komsomol construction sites where young people from all over the Soviet Union came to work, no one forced or forced anyone, everything was voluntary. There is no need to talk about repressed Ukrainians, this is not entirely true. After World War II, there were many convicted Nazi accomplices and military men who defected to the Nazis (SS Galicia, ROA, and so on), they were convicted by the court and sent to serve time in various regions, including Siberia, among them were not only Ukrainians, and representatives of all nationalities who inhabited the USSR. Learn history and it's better not to use Ukrainian textbooks.
It is such a joy to watch you two! You don’t script the video but instead show us the reality of life in various countries. Thank you for taking us with you! I have often wondered about life in the cold of Siberia since I live in the desert.
Very pretty, but difficult to enjoy knowing that Russia is committing war crimes (and a genocide) right next door in Ukraine. Hard to believe Putin referred to them as family and (our brothers) only a year ago.
Здравствуйте, снег не только в Сибири. Он на 70% России в зимний период. В Санкт-Петербург заглядывает оттепель песледние 20 лет, но и нам приходится грести снежок. Но у нас так строят дома, что зимой в квартире и доме теплее, чем в Европе уж точно. Можно ходить в футболке и открывать форточки на окнах, иначе душно +27 градусов по Цельсию дома. Приятно пить чай или кофе, смотря на заснеженый двор. Ни с чем не сравнить.
@@enaidyeltneb369 Вы тоже по-русски неплохо прочитали. Скажите спасибо, что в англии остался английский после вклада СССР в WW2, а то сейчас был бы немецкий язык. А тут не до смеха. Немцы берут знакомые слова впихивают в одно и так появляется глагол - "сербоездящиелюдивсибирьездить".
I love the winter time it's always so pure and beautiful. When your feet crunch on the snow then you know it's freezing. Thank you for sharing. God bless you Matt and Julia Happy New Year. ❤️
Yeah, after slaughtering all the innocents in Ukraine they are so sweet and noble. But even the nazis after all the boring politic stuff were very good person... Right?
Great comment. Well said Sir. Moreover, I think pieces such as this exemplify the power of this 'new' UA-cam medium as a whole. A legacy TV station would never provide such content as this. I myself may never get to see Siberia, but the curiosity I have towards it would centre around the hour-to-hour realities such as streetscapes, local habits, pasttimes, supermarket experiences etc. - the mundane stuff, or as you put it 'how normal people live'. I have no cares for politics or propaganda.
Oh I am Ukrainian you know, And my native city is under bombard every day 30% of infrastructure is destroyed, a lot of deaths are here, In Mariupil children just were drinking water from heating systems because there was a food/water shortage caused by Russia. A billions of buildings was destroyed. So it is not just a political shit It is about real life of people. Russia attacked my country and doing genocide here, these peoples going to Russia and then paying taxes there . This taxes is going for Cremlin to attack us. If you are Russian or you are living in Russia you can't just be as you are becoming a part of the system of genocide. It is very sad to see comments and videos like these.
Thank you for showing my homeland. I had to leave Russia some time ago, and missing these views. Hope will come back soon and walk again on FPK, and other parts of Kemerovo. С рождеством!
На ФПК сейчас отстроили новые дома, только вот на видео их чудесным образом не захотели показать, хотя проходили мимо. Новый корпус КемГУ, ледовый центр и прочее - тоже их наверно в этом районе не интересуют. Ладно хоть площадь Советов показали - а то уже ощущение складывается, что показывать красоты и новостройки Кемерово им не интересно, лучше голубей у колодцев поснимать -_-
I really love this type of video about everyday life. We are so lucky to have you to give an insight into Russian life in Siberia. You do it in such an open and honest way, it is delightful. Thank you.
I know this video is about the issues of Russian politics at the moment. But I have to say, the scenery shots in the video hit me right in the heart. I'm Canadian, and when I went to Russia for the first time in 2014, what immediately struck me was how similar the flora was to home. Russia is the most Canadian-like country I've ever been to as far as scenery goes, which is a big compliment because Canada's natural beauty is extraordinary. When I took the train and looked out, and now when I see your shots, I feel like I'm entering a parallel universe.
Cold frost and sunshine: day of wonder! Used to make my trails "topless" at -15 centigrade. End-February is much worse: windy, cloudy, it's kinda warmer but so pissing off.
Yes, the nature in Canada is beautiful, especially in autumn. Although I have never been to your country. But in Russia, every student knows that Canada and Russia are at the same latitude, so our countries are similar in nature and climate.
I live in South East Queensland, Australia and I wear a 'T' shirt and a pair of shorts all year round. I don't even own a jumper (pullover). After seeing this, I'll stop moaning when I have to put runners on to go to the shops. You two are a joy to watch.
for me it would be extremely boring to have the same weather all year around. I prefer to have four distinctive seasons. All of them are extremely beautiful.
@@vladimiradoshev5310 We do get a bit of variety in the lengths of day and night, and it can get relatively cold at night. I originally came from Britain and Christmas never seems the same here, particularly as it's in the middle of Summer. Anywhere much further north of where I live only get two seasons; wet and dry.
genuinly awesome. i was sopposed to go on an exchange in Sib before what happened, thank you through this vid i can experience that kind of atmosphere a bit
Happy New Year from France where we are still waiting for Winter !! Blue skies, sunshine 🌞 and still no heating necessary. .We are in the South though, towards Spain but this weather is weird. Merry Orthodox Christmas btw💖
This weather is absolutely not " weird" close to the Med and by the way nights are chilly. I don't heat either but with 15 ° only in my bedroom I wear 3 layers of clothes.
I am in the south of Corsica. I heat my place with a wood stove. The mimosas are blossoming, we have oranges on trees, we have flowers. Could not stand that cold weather. Much toooo cold and gloomy. Anyway, best wishes and hope that that horrible war in Ukraine stops.
I'm American I live in the south east I don't think I would survive in such a cold climate we haven't had a snow flake this winter and February 2023 was warm and sunny but I'm sure people who grow up there are strong and healthy I hope the best for the people of Russia and Ukraine it's sad what's happening there... peace from the USA
Ты бы выжил. В Российских городах, тем более в Москве есть центральное отопление. Квартиры и вовсе отапливают так, что будешь в шортах ходить и окна открывать
Haha I'm in Florida. Never seen snow in person. Would love to just head to the coldest parts of the world though and go all in. Also in love with Slavic culture so this would be great, unfortunately their government and war is making it a bit hard right now for everyone over there.
It's very sad that this is happening. It's just your country's fault because your government supports Ukrainian neo-Nazis. You read who the Banderites are, what ideas they have and what they do. So if you want all this to stop, you can stop it if you go against your government
Happy New year to Julia and Matt, and your families! Nice to see Julia reunited with her siblings! And good to see her with her grandmother at the market, not overpriced small apples this time! Ha Love from Uruguay bye
Hello from Alaska! I share your videos with my eldest daughter to show her travel in Russia. She is in a Russian language immersion program here in the US and is so curious about how she might use her language skills as she grows. I hope she will someday have the advanced travel skills you two model on this channel! Спасибо! С новым годом!
Oh puke. Tell your daughter how ignorant, cold, unsympathetic Russians are. 99 percent of Russians think that the images coming out of Ukraine are photo shopped, and the war is the wests fault. You have to be the most naive, ignorant idiot twat I've come across in a long time. You're blindsided your daughter. What a terrible parent you are. These Russians believe everything that comes out of putins mouth. This is still an oppressive, communist country, nothing to teach your kids positivity about.
Не была в Кемерово зимой больше 20ти лет. Спасибо, за возможность услышать хруст снега под ногами, и почти почувствовать свежий морозный воздух. -15, солнечно... идеальный сибирский день
Happy New Year. I love when you film with your family. So glad you got to spend time with them. The town center looked beautiful with all the ice sculptures, ice houses and lights. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much, ordinary people of America. I wish you to get rid of your crazy leadership as soon as possible and live in peace with the whole world 🇷🇺❤️ 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing your videos of your visits to Russia and seeing your family. I hope others who do not travel much are able to learn about other cultures through videos like yours. It really brings home how much alike we all are, barring our ideologies and governments.
Happy new year from Rhode Island USA have been to Kemerovo 2 times when we adopted my daughter Irina in 2008 she was born in Novokuznetsk but had to go to Kemerovo to court. Really enjoyed it there we want to go back in the future we were in Moscow in 2019 hopefully the climate for travel will be better in the future love your videos thanks
Dear Matt &Julia , happy new year ❤🩹thank you so much for your films , in this troubled time it allows for a sense of perspective . we are all people with the same concerns and hopes . Let us hope and pray for resolution and calm in this new year 🎊🎆🎄
Чем больше я узнаю русских людей, тем больше я их ценю. Я думаю, что мы, турки, единственные в мире, кто борется так же, как русский народ. Нам приходилось бороться с миром на протяжении тысячелетий, и мы до сих пор терпим неудачу. Я выражаю свою любовь российскому народу.
Hope you doing ok. Always nice to see your family. Bureaucracy can be burdensome no matter way you are in the world. Getting to the right person and department is key. Happy New Year my friends. As always, Thank You for all your hard work.😍😍😍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Beautiful. I’m in Alaska and it reminds me so much of here. I’ve always wanted to go to Russia. Don’t think it’s possible now but the history is my heart 💜
The lights & ice display in the park is so beautiful! The snowy trees too. Ai Matt, sorry for the bureaucratic mess, unfortunately we all get confronted by that quite (too!) often... Thanks for the video, looking forward to share your New Year's Eve, lots of love to the whole family! ❤❤
Happy New Year Julia and Matt. I am sure you can find bureaucratic nightmare in every country. Very nice city center with lights and ice sculpture, guess made by some artists like done in a competition. I still remember the sound of walking lower than minus 7 and we had sometimes -20 to -25 at wintertime as well. These days I dont understand how I survived my childhood. Remember coming home in the evening from bob sliding and the trouser was frozen standing alone in the corner. Hard and painfull when life was coming back into fingers and toes, felt like thousands of needles. The main instruction was: dont pee and never eat yellow snow. CU
first off, thanks for sharing, this is epic to me. i feel a sense of gratitude as i sit in my florida condo, but also wow it's so beautiful, and i'd love to visit.
Excellent camera work in this video. At the ski resort the view is spectacular... 6:20 what a beautiful sight to behold... Thank you *Matt and Julia* for another outstanding video...btw: Matt, I'm glad everything worked out for you getting *Registered* without fines... 😁
Thanks for sharing pictures of my native town, guys! Happy orthodox Christmas and upcoming Old (hehe it sounds crazy for foreigners) New Year :-) Cheers!
The other video you made at your auntie's house was the first one of yours that I ever saw and I've been hooked ever since. Great to see her and beautiful Siberia again. Happy New Year guys. Xx
Fascinating video! I’ve always been curious about Russian culture etc. I’d love to visit Siberia in the winter someday. May our leaders find the ability to work towards world peace. War only fills the pockets of some evil elites. The people of the world deserve better. War is failure of leadership.
I had no idea about the challenges of life in Russia. This video really opened my eyes to the bureaucratic nightmare people face there. Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year and Merry Othordox Christmas . A great vlog reminds me of the North of England from the 80s no disrespect of course it was quite nostalgic.
Indeed, an amazing video of the countryside of Russia, the skiing was a blast to watch and the mountain-side, village life, travel, and administrative requirements to be there. I was not aware of fruit stands in the brutal cold there, shopping booths in the street. Some of it reminded me of small-town life in the South here in the U.S. Thanks for sharing; it was a treat to watch. Yes, -15 is cold, even colder when not moving around.
Keep up with your positive vibes and videos.. Appreciate you and your family.. Nice to see a normal Russia family.. Living life like the rest of us..We want world peace ✌️☮️🫂 So we can have a great future endeavors..And to see your beautiful baby in the future.. Slava boholm..🫂🌻🙌 Safe trip praise God..🎇 Happy New year to you and your family 🎁🎄
But this girl really doesn't epriciate this, all her efforts are to emigrate from Russia. She doesn't want to improve her life here, she is thinking that everywhere better than in place where she was born.
Very pretty, but difficult to enjoy knowing that Russia is committing war crimes (and a genocide) right next door in Ukraine. Hard to believe Putin referred to them as family and (our brothers) only a year ago.
Spaceeba for a nice video. Reminded me of when I (an American) married my Russian sweetheart in Leningrad back in 1979. Even though it was legal back in Soviet times to marry a foreigner, it took two weeks to gain initial approval. Two months later the stonewalling began in earnest and after many long hours each day in the waiting rooms, a very nice lady in the KGB intervened on our behalf and we were finally married. It took my wife 8 long months of beauracratic hell to be able to leave the Soviet Union and join me where I waited in America. I was very blessed to have had her for 36 years as my wife and then 7 years ago she sadly passed away. Take care
Спасибо вами большое Леонардо! Нам очень приятно 🥰 с Новым годом!)))

Hi Matt and Julia from Ireland ye are lovely people and happy new year to ye let's hope this terrible conflict ends soon and lives get back to normal across Europe.
Don't get your hopes up! Life in Europe will never be the same, the Americans have prepared Europe for the slaughter. War is the easiest way to zero Europe. First, the war with Russia, sanctions and energy/ resource starvation, then the complete destruction of industry and the lawlessness of migrants. Europe will die without options! Parasites Americans seek to postpone their demise by destroying Europe, destroying their parasite competitor.
You can find the bureaucracy in every country. As I lived as a foreigner in Germany, there were so dafty rules for foreigners there, so that when I came back to Russia, I could breathe freely.
This is true. Certain groups in every country are looked down on. Thing is, everyone will be more biased towards their own home nation, even if they commit atrocities, etc.
I absolutely loved the video! I just love your down to earth style. Happy New Year to you and your family! And I would love for you to come to Dallas, Texas, where I live. It would be a pleasure to meet you both.
I live 5 hrs, South of the Canadian border . Winter lasts six months and snow gets tiring. Right now we have so much one can not see well driving at intersections as piled so high. Roofs are in danger with the weight. It is o.k. but after holidays it gets tiring. People who like snowmobiling and skiing are happy. We ice fish also. The tradeoff is a lovely summer rarely need more than a fan and lower humidity. Snowmen are easy to make with a wet snow but so heavy to shovel. My back gets sore shoveling as I am a senior woman who lives alone but good exercise. The road clearing crews use so much salt on the roads it trusts out car bodies quicker. This is more snow than we have had in 25 yrs ,so unusual.
What I like about your videos in particular is how you show Siberia. Most people think it's just cold and gulags, but real people live here with their families.
So happy you got to visit your Gram, I bet she loved seeing you😍 The lights were beautiful in the square, thank you! After the cold maybe you kids would like a nice warm place, by the ocean somewhere! Happy New Year from the Oregon Coast, USA 🇺🇸🎉🥂

That Christmas light display looks amazing! Especially the ice sculptures. Those outdoor markets look so cool! There aren't many markets around here in Saskatchewan except for the farmer's markets during the summer that sell fresh fruit, vegetables and baked bread and pastries. Happy New Year!
Something about Russia seems like home to me. Some of my older ancestors migrated from there but im in US right now. 🇺🇲 Really aweosme vlog! I pray the situation improves, i would absolutely love to visit, keep up the good work!
a very New Years Eve! From Vienna Austria! I love the video. I hope this year turned out OK and the next will be the best year yet, in your and your families, friends history! Cheers Wolfgang
This one's breathtaking! Your camera is doing a fantastic job with the view and all. Oh, and by the way, your little brother is so handsome! How old is he? Hahaha. Have an awesome 2023, all! :)
People are the same everywhere, some good some bad. I am not buying into the western MSM message of hate towards Russia or Russians. I would love to visit there some day and experience Russia first hand. The buildings and land are so beautiful and historic. Most of all I would love to interact with the people. Safe Travels
It’s not the Russian people Westerners have a problem with, it’s their leader(s). Ya know, the same one(s) the average Russian has problems with? I don’t hear any Western media spreading propaganda to incite Russian hate. It’s really only one Russian in particular they mainly talk about, but yeah let’s just reduce that to western hate of Russians in general…
stunningly beautiful landscapes! Thanks, PS. Good outcome with the PAPER PEOPLE. Lord have mercy. I was afraid you'd be relegated to a work camp in Siberia...
Don't forget to show us all the food you will have on New Year's - and - you guys should really come to Winnipeg, Canada in February some year because it may remind you of Siberia! -15C is not very cold at all. We're usually -20 or so and I think we might be a little bit windier. Anyway in February we have a Courier de Bois festival here with amazing ice sculptures, sled dog rides, tobogganing, and many, many artisans showing off their skills. Sometimes you can even take classes (my group teach wood carving) but there's beading, leatherwork, barrel making and a host of other things.
Loved this! Growing up part Russian, Siberia was often referred to as a slight threat, possibly because of the cold. But none of us had ever been there! I'm tickled to see that it's a normal thriving place. And, quite frankly, not much colder than we've had in Georgia, USA. Thanks!
Slight threat, sure... I pretty sure its becoming a real threat again since Stalin is back on the throne. But of course, as long as the meat grinder in Ukraine is working that's where they are gonna send them first, I guess.
@@waynegodfrey6119 Hm, it seems that you are the one who lost your orientation. In Russia and Ukraine they measure temperature in celcius degrees. I have no idea what 32 degrees of your type would be. Do I care? In this context, no.
Only just discovered your channel and loving your videos. So interesting to see how life is lived in countries I will never be able to visit - too old now sadly!
I had exact same bureaucratic issue last time I came to Russia in 2018. Me and my family are Lithuanian citizens, but have family living in Samara. We travelled through St Petersburg and Moscow for a week before driving to Samara where we ultimately stayed with our relatives. When we came to register in Samara, they told us the same thing that we had to register in the first 7 days (but we couldn’t because we didn’t actually stay in Moscow etc for the whole trip!). We then had to go to police and also pay a fine! Such non sense.
that's what happens when you ban/sanction a country and call it terrorist country and call for it's complete balkanization,what else did you expect? for them to welcome you in and not treat you as a terrorist when you carry out/support the killing of Dugina and the rest? Lithuania/Baltics has been barking at Russia for 30 years and causing hell for Russians in Baltics,just look at what happened with Russian/Belarusian embassies in Vilnius. It's like nazis complaining why they get a bad treatment,duh,your are nazi living in a nazi state. Or when Russia will continue with their demilitarization of their boarderlines or okraina's you will cry like Ukrainians that you acted like kittens for the last 30 years? I live here,I watch Lithuanian tv,i listen to the radio every day,30 years not a single positive word about Russians,even before 2014 all I hear look drunk Russians,look Russians burning on STATE TV all news that came about Russia is about some tragedy,nothing diplomatic or about culture. No wonder Russians in Baltics are highest on suicide and alcoholism.Imagine being Lithuanian living in Lithuania and all you hear about your identity is ''stupid mongo1oid'' ''occupant'' ''go back to your country'' over and over and over,the last thing you would want to do is build a good life here,that's why 1.5 million left. Also Lithuanians are well known for carrying out terrorist attacks/Maidan's,just look at their involvement in Ukrainian scenario and you will know who were those snipers on the roofs,the ex-VSD agents admitted on camera how they orchestrated the bloodshed in Maidan,same scenario with January 13 events,same people involved,funny how Maidan has same sniper scenario,same with both soviet soldiers and civilian protesters being shot on both sides,all covered up,no one went to jail except for soviet militarymen who were standing around waiting for orders from CIA stooge Gorby who later on lived in EU while regular soldiers for following HIS orders got 20 years. For Russian security any Lithuanian is marked red as a terrorist,same way as in America after 9/11 with arabs. Nothing personal,just what you did for yourself by barking at the wrong tree to please your masters.

We’ve met some of the most wonderful people, stayed in the homes of host families and experienced deep and lasting relationships. We’ve travel from St Petersburg to Sakhalin Island, from Vorkuta to Volgograd and between. I’ve been in some very remote areas, on the taiga and tundra. It’s my hearts desire to be able to make the trip one more time before I go yo heaven. Thank you for your work!!

Юлия, вы наверное чуть ли не единственный блогер из Кемерова, который наш город так популяризирует на мировом уровне. Спасибо вам. С удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео
I left a long message of my joy in this video and shared some of my own prior experiences in Russia 20 years ago but UA-cam ate it when I went to edit it! Suffice it to say, I will write again when I watch again because I am entranced and so warmed with your journey and your loving family life. Thank you for bringing us with you
Thank you so much Andrea! 🥰 Really sorry to hear UA-cam deleted the comment, can’t wait to read the new one soon 🙏🏼❤️

Having said that, Yes Russian have faced inflation like the rest of the world... but when I visit supermarkets there are NO empty shelves (cannot say that about many American super markets)... Egss don not cost over $6 per dozen.. (or worse in the USA)..

Great perspective into everyday life !!
Keep your down to earth style story telling.. explaining every day life as a regular citizen without any exaggeration or unnecessary dramatics.

Thank you for this video! Loved it! Enjoyed the showing of how everyday life can be in Siberia here. Enjoyed the heart touching moments such as the ice structures with the color changing lights, the fun sliding down the ice, the Christmas tree decorations, the decorating of ones home. I also enjoyed the skiing amongst an awesome beautiful valley as well with the fireworks shown off in a distance here. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you!
Amazing snow on the ski slopes! And what a fantastic view of the NY eve celebrations below. (no snow in the French Alps this winter, but plenty in Siberia!!)
Это же Шерегеш! :)))
Там открывается сезон в России раньше других горнолыжных курортов именно потому, что снег ложится уже в конце октября. В России очень много горнолыжных курортов.
your landscape looks like ours in winter. I live in Minnesota USA.
I hate shoveling lol
I enjoy watching regular people in Russia because it matters more than all the crazy things going on that are dividing people when we are all the same.

moving snow is a pain for the entire world and I'm moving to Florida because of it. lol
Im not supporting ukraine but yea we regular people should care less bout things like that (i talked bout goverment not ukrainian people)

Such a sweet video! Happy New Year! I am Russian, and I live in Moscow with my foreigner husband. We also have to deal with lots of bureaucracy. But sometimes the actual problem is not the bureaucracy itself, but incompetence of the staff. I guess this is what happened to you at Moi Dokumenti. The lady simply did not know that if you move around the country you are not required to register. Great you dealt with this situation with patient and sorted everything out. Thanks for the video again! Hope to visit Kuzbass next winter)
bureaucracy and corruption and incompetence is everywhere in the world where you have to deal with government......so Russia is no different than US, Canada or any other country
@@The_Eminence The level of corruption varies greatly between countries. Corruption in Canada is incomparable to the one in the Eastern Europe. It is like comparing polar and teddy bear. Both are bears but it is not the same being cuddled by both.
Of course he's a foreign husband...
I have been to Siberia to work in December 2011 and I was in the Irkutsk Oblast mainly. Even by Canadian standard, I can tell that yes, Siberia is very cold. I have found the people of Siberia very kind, calm and fun.
Well, as a Russian from Siberia I can tell that winters start in Canada much earlier than here and end much later. For example now November 16 we don't have snow yet. The temp is still around +2 Celsius.
not for a million bucks
lots of repressed Ukrainians during SRSR times that live there now
@@katyakravchenko4141 During the Soviet era, there was a system of assigning students to work after graduating from universities and colleges, that is, a student at the end of his studies had to work for three years at the place of his assignment to work. A geologist from Kiev University easily got a job in Siberia, and a graduate of the St. Petersburg Academy of Civil Aviation at the Tashkent Aircraft Factory. There were also various Komsomol construction sites where young people from all over the Soviet Union came to work, no one forced or forced anyone, everything was voluntary. There is no need to talk about repressed Ukrainians, this is not entirely true. After World War II, there were many convicted Nazi accomplices and military men who defected to the Nazis (SS Galicia, ROA, and so on), they were convicted by the court and sent to serve time in various regions, including Siberia, among them were not only Ukrainians, and representatives of all nationalities who inhabited the USSR. Learn history and it's better not to use Ukrainian textbooks.
It is such a joy to watch you two! You don’t script the video but instead show us the reality of life in various countries. Thank you for taking us with you! I have often wondered about life in the cold of Siberia since I live in the desert.
So glad to have you along with us Enaid! Lots more from Siberia to come 🥰❤️
Very pretty, but difficult to enjoy knowing that Russia is committing war crimes (and a genocide) right next door in Ukraine. Hard to believe Putin referred to them as family and (our brothers) only a year ago.
Здравствуйте, снег не только в Сибири. Он на 70% России в зимний период. В Санкт-Петербург заглядывает оттепель песледние 20 лет, но и нам приходится грести снежок. Но у нас так строят дома, что зимой в квартире и доме теплее, чем в Европе уж точно. Можно ходить в футболке и открывать форточки на окнах, иначе душно +27 градусов по Цельсию дома. Приятно пить чай или кофе, смотря на заснеженый двор. Ни с чем не сравнить.

It’s cool to see how normal people live. I also love how it shows life without all the global politics so we can just respect the culture.
Yeah, after slaughtering all the innocents in Ukraine they are so sweet and noble.
But even the nazis after all the boring politic stuff were very good person... Right?
Great comment. Well said Sir. Moreover, I think pieces such as this exemplify the power of this 'new' UA-cam medium as a whole. A legacy TV station would never provide such content as this. I myself may never get to see Siberia, but the curiosity I have towards it would centre around the hour-to-hour realities such as streetscapes, local habits, pasttimes, supermarket experiences etc. - the mundane stuff, or as you put it 'how normal people live'. I have no cares for politics or propaganda.
"new' UA-cam"
"propoganda"
Oh I am Ukrainian you know, And my native city is under bombard every day 30% of infrastructure is destroyed, a lot of deaths are here, In Mariupil children just were drinking water from heating systems because there was a food/water shortage caused by Russia. A billions of buildings was destroyed. So it is not just a political shit It is about real life of people. Russia attacked my country and doing genocide here, these peoples going to Russia and then paying taxes there . This taxes is going for Cremlin to attack us. If you are Russian or you are living in Russia you can't just be as you are becoming a part of the system of genocide. It is very sad to see comments and videos like these.
@@MaryJo-dy8bg there is nothing about a propaganda . It is about the genocide of ukrainian nation.
Thank you for showing my homeland. I had to leave Russia some time ago, and missing these views. Hope will come back soon and walk again on FPK, and other parts of Kemerovo. С рождеством!
На ФПК сейчас отстроили новые дома, только вот на видео их чудесным образом не захотели показать, хотя проходили мимо. Новый корпус КемГУ, ледовый центр и прочее - тоже их наверно в этом районе не интересуют. Ладно хоть площадь Советов показали - а то уже ощущение складывается, что показывать красоты и новостройки Кемерово им не интересно, лучше голубей у колодцев поснимать -_-
Why you leave? 😂
I really love this type of video about everyday life. We are so lucky to have you to give an insight into Russian life in Siberia. You do it in such an open and honest way, it is delightful. Thank you.
I know this video is about the issues of Russian politics at the moment. But I have to say, the scenery shots in the video hit me right in the heart.
I'm Canadian, and when I went to Russia for the first time in 2014, what immediately struck me was how similar the flora was to home. Russia is the most Canadian-like country I've ever been to as far as scenery goes, which is a big compliment because Canada's natural beauty is extraordinary. When I took the train and looked out, and now when I see your shots, I feel like I'm entering a parallel universe.
Мне зелёной Флориды не надо
Мне дороже седая Канада
We live in a beautiful continent it has everything.
Cold frost and sunshine: day of wonder! Used to make my trails "topless" at -15 centigrade. End-February is much worse: windy, cloudy, it's kinda warmer but so pissing off.
Yes, the nature in Canada is beautiful, especially in autumn.
Although I have never been to your country. But in Russia, every student knows that Canada and Russia are at the same latitude, so our countries are similar in nature and climate.

I live in South East Queensland, Australia and I wear a 'T' shirt and a pair of shorts all year round. I don't even own a jumper (pullover). After seeing this, I'll stop moaning when I have to put runners on to go to the shops. You two are a joy to watch.
Haha, a crazy difference in lifestyles 😀❤️
for me it would be extremely boring to have the same weather all year around. I prefer to have four distinctive seasons. All of them are extremely beautiful.
@@vladimiradoshev5310 We do get a bit of variety in the lengths of day and night, and it can get relatively cold at night. I originally came from Britain and Christmas never seems the same here, particularly as it's in the middle of Summer. Anywhere much further north of where I live only get two seasons; wet and dry.
Me too lol
As a Texan (southern USA), I completely understand! Our winter has only seen one cold spell and we never see snow. What a trip, lol.
genuinly awesome. i was sopposed to go on an exchange in Sib before what happened, thank you through this vid i can experience that kind of atmosphere a bit
Happy New Year from France where we are still waiting for Winter !! Blue skies, sunshine 🌞 and still no heating necessary. .We are in the South though, towards Spain but this weather is weird. Merry Orthodox Christmas btw💖
Thank you so much Marguerite! ❤️ Lots of love to you and your family 🥰❤️🙏🏼
This weather is absolutely not " weird" close to the Med and by the way nights are chilly. I don't heat either but with 15 ° only in my bedroom I wear 3 layers of clothes.
I am in the south of Corsica. I heat my place with a wood stove. The mimosas are blossoming, we have oranges on trees, we have flowers. Could not stand that cold weather. Much toooo cold and gloomy. Anyway, best wishes and hope that that horrible war in Ukraine stops.
Вы крутая пара и делитесь отличными видео. Спасибо!
I'm American I live in the south east I don't think I would survive in such a cold climate we haven't had a snow flake this winter and February 2023 was warm and sunny but I'm sure people who grow up there are strong and healthy I hope the best for the people of Russia and Ukraine it's sad what's happening there... peace from the USA
Ты бы выжил. В Российских городах, тем более в Москве есть центральное отопление. Квартиры и вовсе отапливают так, что будешь в шортах ходить и окна открывать
Haha I'm in Florida. Never seen snow in person. Would love to just head to the coldest parts of the world though and go all in. Also in love with Slavic culture so this would be great, unfortunately their government and war is making it a bit hard right now for everyone over there.
Michigan Winters are typically like this with exception for recent years past 5 or so.
It's very sad that this is happening. It's just your country's fault because your government supports Ukrainian neo-Nazis. You read who the Banderites are, what ideas they have and what they do. So if you want all this to stop, you can stop it if you go against your government
Trust me you could survive. I’m from Minnesota and our winters are like 8 months and extremely cold

Oh puke. Tell your daughter how ignorant, cold, unsympathetic Russians are. 99 percent of Russians think that the images coming out of Ukraine are photo shopped, and the war is the wests fault. You have to be the most naive, ignorant idiot twat I've come across in a long time. You're blindsided your daughter. What a terrible parent you are.

Чем больше я узнаю русских людей, тем больше я их ценю. Я думаю, что мы, турки, единственные в мире, кто борется так же, как русский народ. Нам приходилось бороться с миром на протяжении тысячелетий, и мы до сих пор терпим неудачу. Я выражаю свою любовь российскому народу.

Happy New Year Julia and Matt. I am sure you can find bureaucratic nightmare in every country. Very nice city center with lights and ice sculpture, guess made by some artists like done in a competition. I still remember the sound of walking lower than minus 7 and we had sometimes -20 to -25 at wintertime as well. These days I dont understand how I survived my childhood. Remember coming home in the evening from bob sliding and the trouser was frozen standing alone in the corner. Hard and painfull when life was coming back into fingers and toes, felt like thousands of needles. The main instruction was: dont pee and never eat yellow snow. CU

Indeed, an amazing video of the countryside of Russia, the skiing was a blast to watch and the mountain-side, village life, travel, and administrative requirements to be there. I was not aware of fruit stands in the brutal cold there, shopping booths in the street. Some of it reminded me of small-town life in the South here in the U.S. Thanks for sharing; it was a treat to watch. Yes, -15 is cold, even colder when not moving around.

Very pretty, but difficult to enjoy knowing that Russia is committing war crimes (and a genocide) right next door in Ukraine. Hard to believe Putin referred to them as family and (our brothers) only a year ago.
Spaceeba for a nice video. Reminded me of when I (an American) married my Russian sweetheart in Leningrad back in 1979. Even though it was legal back in Soviet times to marry a foreigner, it took two weeks to gain initial approval. Two months later the stonewalling began in earnest and after many long hours each day in the waiting rooms, a very nice lady in the KGB intervened on our behalf and we were finally married. It took my wife 8 long months of beauracratic hell to be able to leave the Soviet Union and join me where I waited in America. I was very blessed to have had her for 36 years as my wife and then 7 years ago she sadly passed away. Take care

Don't get your hopes up! Life in Europe will never be the same, the Americans have prepared Europe for the slaughter.
War is the easiest way to zero Europe. First, the war with Russia, sanctions and energy/ resource starvation, then the complete destruction of industry and the lawlessness of migrants.
Europe will die without options! Parasites Americans seek to postpone their demise by destroying Europe, destroying their parasite competitor.
You can find the bureaucracy in every country. As I lived as a foreigner in Germany, there were so dafty rules for foreigners there, so that when I came back to Russia, I could breathe freely.
like what rules?
This is true. Certain groups in every country are looked down on. Thing is, everyone will be more biased towards their own home nation, even if they commit atrocities, etc.
Really ? Can you criticise your government or your President in Russia ?

I live 5 hrs, South of the Canadian border . Winter lasts six months and snow gets tiring. Right now we have so much one can not see well driving at intersections as piled so high. Roofs are in danger with the weight. It is o.k. but after holidays it gets tiring. People who like snowmobiling and skiing are happy. We ice fish also. The tradeoff is a lovely summer rarely need more than a fan and lower humidity. Snowmen are easy to make with a wet snow but so heavy to shovel. My back gets sore shoveling as I am a senior woman who lives alone but good exercise. The road clearing crews use so much salt on the roads it trusts out car bodies quicker. This is more snow than we have had in 25 yrs ,so unusual.

What I like about your videos in particular is how you show Siberia. Most people think it's just cold and gulags, but real people live here with their families.

You all are lovely people. You are so sweet to help your aunt. She has a beautiful home.
Thank you so much Janet 🙏🏼❤️
That Christmas light display looks amazing! Especially the ice sculptures.
Those outdoor markets look so cool! There aren't many markets around here in Saskatchewan except for the farmer's markets during the summer that sell fresh fruit, vegetables and baked bread and pastries.
Happy New Year!
Something about Russia seems like home to me. Some of my older ancestors migrated from there but im in US right now. 🇺🇲 Really aweosme vlog!
I pray the situation improves, i would absolutely love to visit, keep up the good work!
a very New Years Eve! From Vienna Austria! I love the video. I hope this year turned out OK and the next will be the best year yet, in your and your families, friends history! Cheers Wolfgang
This one's breathtaking! Your camera is doing a fantastic job with the view and all. Oh, and by the way, your little brother is so handsome! How old is he? Hahaha. Have an awesome 2023, all! :)
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it 🥰❤️ My brother is 20 😊 Happy new Year to you too!! ❤️🙌🏼
People are the same everywhere, some good some bad. I am not buying into the western MSM message of hate towards Russia or Russians. I would love to visit there some day and experience Russia first hand. The buildings and land are so beautiful and historic. Most of all I would love to interact with the people. Safe Travels
It’s not the Russian people Westerners have a problem with, it’s their leader(s). Ya know, the same one(s) the average Russian has problems with? I don’t hear any Western media spreading propaganda to incite Russian hate. It’s really only one Russian in particular they mainly talk about, but yeah let’s just reduce that to western hate of Russians in general…
What is the “western MSM message of hate towards Russia or Russians”?
Yep even illegal immigrants are are friends, family and girl friemds boy friends. They are friends more friends
Your photos/ videos are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Siberia has snow and is cold. 😊
Thank you for letting us glimpse into life in Russia. Loved the ice buildings. Thank you from Australia
Great stuff. No snow in w europe. And that really does look like a great run
Heard it has been barmy warm in Western Europe thus far 🥵
stunningly beautiful landscapes! Thanks, PS. Good outcome with the PAPER PEOPLE. Lord have mercy. I was afraid you'd be relegated to a work camp in Siberia...
Don't forget to show us all the food you will have on New Year's - and - you guys should really come to Winnipeg, Canada in February some year because it may remind you of Siberia! -15C is not very cold at all. We're usually -20 or so and I think we might be a little bit windier. Anyway in February we have a Courier de Bois festival here with amazing ice sculptures, sled dog rides, tobogganing, and many, many artisans showing off their skills. Sometimes you can even take classes (my group teach wood carving) but there's beading, leatherwork, barrel making and a host of other things.
This sounds absolutely incredible, we would love to visit Winnipeg 🥰❤️🙏🏼
Loved this! Growing up part Russian, Siberia was often referred to as a slight threat, possibly because of the cold. But none of us had ever been there! I'm tickled to see that it's a normal thriving place. And, quite frankly, not much colder than we've had in Georgia, USA. Thanks!
Slight threat, sure... I pretty sure its becoming a real threat again since Stalin is back on the throne. But of course, as long as the meat grinder in Ukraine is working that's where they are gonna send them first, I guess.
Hello Jessica
Not much colder than Georgia,are you serious,you can't be for real,it hardly get below 32, degree s,do you know where you are.
Because of the cold? lol
@@waynegodfrey6119 Hm, it seems that you are the one who lost your orientation. In Russia and Ukraine they measure temperature in celcius degrees. I have no idea what 32 degrees of your type would be. Do I care? In this context, no.
Only just discovered your channel and loving your videos. So interesting to see how life is lived in countries I will never be able to visit - too old now sadly!
Утро доброе! Всем землякам! We're from Houston, Texas state, and I am so much missing for my country😍😍😍
Then go ro russia and freeze 🤔🥶
@@Powerviolenc3 Why would they freeze?
Так приезжай обратно раз скучаеш

I had exact same bureaucratic issue last time I came to Russia in 2018. Me and my family are Lithuanian citizens, but have family living in Samara. We travelled through St Petersburg and Moscow for a week before driving to Samara where we ultimately stayed with our relatives. When we came to register in Samara, they told us the same thing that we had to register in the first 7 days (but we couldn’t because we didn’t actually stay in Moscow etc for the whole trip!). We then had to go to police and also pay a fine! Such non sense.
I ve heard the Russian minority is handled like shit in some Baltic countries so....
that's what happens when you ban/sanction a country and call it terrorist country and call for it's complete balkanization,what else did you expect? for them to welcome you in and not treat you as a terrorist when you carry out/support the killing of Dugina and the rest? Lithuania/Baltics has been barking at Russia for 30 years and causing hell for Russians in Baltics,just look at what happened with Russian/Belarusian embassies in Vilnius. It's like nazis complaining why they get a bad treatment,duh,your are nazi living in a nazi state.
Or when Russia will continue with their demilitarization of their boarderlines or okraina's you will cry like Ukrainians that you acted like kittens for the last 30 years? I live here,I watch Lithuanian tv,i listen to the radio every day,30 years not a single positive word about Russians,even before 2014 all I hear look drunk Russians,look Russians burning on STATE TV all news that came about Russia is about some tragedy,nothing diplomatic or about culture. No wonder Russians in Baltics are highest on suicide and alcoholism.Imagine being Lithuanian living in Lithuania and all you hear about your identity is ''stupid mongo1oid'' ''occupant'' ''go back to your country'' over and over and over,the last thing you would want to do is build a good life here,that's why 1.5 million left.
Also Lithuanians are well known for carrying out terrorist attacks/Maidan's,just look at their involvement in Ukrainian scenario and you will know who were those snipers on the roofs,the ex-VSD agents admitted on camera how they orchestrated the bloodshed in Maidan,same scenario with January 13 events,same people involved,funny how Maidan has same sniper scenario,same with both soviet soldiers and civilian protesters being shot on both sides,all covered up,no one went to jail except for soviet militarymen who were standing around waiting for orders from CIA stooge Gorby who later on lived in EU while regular soldiers for following HIS orders got 20 years. For Russian security any Lithuanian is marked red as a terrorist,same way as in America after 9/11 with arabs. Nothing personal,just what you did for yourself by barking at the wrong tree to please your masters.
@@juodagalvesniegena714 Thank you for speaking the truth. Here in France although our government is rotten we are many who know it.
I confirm france is one of the worst of bureaucracy...
this is Russia, such a stupid country
Very little snow this year in Ottawa too! And not cold either. Very unusual! Thanks very much. Interesting! ✌️🇨🇦
Beautiful Russia.
Thanks for great video. Merry Christmas 🎄
