    CORRECTIONS, REMARKS AND CLARIFICATIONS:
    1. The wind power station shown at 24:13 is the biggest in Arctic zone of Russia but not in the whole country. The largest wind power station is located near Nevinomyssk, Stavropol region.
    2. Ironically there was no printed bus schedule on the bus stop at 11:53. However, as I mentioned in the video, it was available online. Not all of the bus stops had heated room, only the ones with the highest passenger flow.
    3. At 12:58 I followed the road to the ferry harbor. Officially, the winter road wasn't open but it didn't scare some drivers owning off-road vehicles to still cross the estuary. Being there for the first time, I didn't understand the trajectory of the unofficial winter road and wasn't sure in the traffic. Ordering TREKOL would cost me ~40$. After some calculations I decided to walk to Anadyr because, firstly, it sounded more adventurous lol, and secondly it was cheaper (leaving alone the risk of falling through the ice).
    4. The man at 20:38 seemed mentally ill. I didn't check whether he mentioned real salary or imagined it. The rest of the interview was cut from the video because he jumped from one thought to another and I lost sense of he was saying.
    5. Grocery prices in Anadyr differed from one store to another. One product can cost x in one store, x2 in another one and x3 in the third. Take it into consideration. There is few federal retailers in Chukotka which is one of the reasons why prices may be significant.
    6. How about wild animals? Well, polar bears do not inhabit the territory around Anadyr, they live somewhere northern. Wolves? They can indeed be seen somewhere around Anadyr but the possibility of encountering them is still pretty low. While walking to the nuclear storage I saw a fox but it seemed to be afraid of me and it kept long distance, so I didn't care about the fox and carried on walking.

      According to the internet it seems the average income of Chukotka is going up and is around 130-40k per month. Even then with the prices you showed us in the grocery store, if you buy an average of around 30kilos of consumable products a month that would be 1/4 of income gone. That just feels very expensive to live there. Thank you for the great insight on this video.

      Deuteronomy 11:16 KJV
      Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
      2 Timothy 3:13 KJV
      But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
      lets analyse the lies through which are we daily deceived:
      lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
      lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
      lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
      lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
      lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
      lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
      lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forget?)
      lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
      to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
      Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
      lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
      lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
      lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
      lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
      lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
      Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
      lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
      I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
      to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
      lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)
      lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA)
      half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played)
      lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them).
      Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%)
      lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves).
      Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means>
      John 15:13
      Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
      Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
      lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
      lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale.
      BIBLE IS:
      BASIC
      INFORMATION/instruction
      BEFORE
      LEAVING
      EARTH
      = BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth.
      Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG)
      lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret:
      - THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason.
      Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry).

You can go and get a tour where they take you down the elevator and show you all the controls and generator room. Highly recommend it. Unlike anything you can see else where. All the other network of the alert facilities and missile launch silos in the area were filled in by the federal government.

    Great tour. I used to live in Alaska 1735KM east of your location. We had the same hard snow, ice fishing and ice roads. Food was expensive but only 200% of Lower 48 prices, sometimes only 150%. We also had very high winds - I could never walk as far as you did. We would use snow machines and F-250 trucks, but only the Army had tracked vehicles for off road snow travel. The coldest drive I ever took was a -66.6F (-55C), then the thermometer died. Maybe it was colder? It was always a challenge to keep electronics alive in those conditions.

    For context Anadyr and Trondheim (middle Norway) are on the same latitude, Trondheim has no permafrost, has warm summers, has lush forests and farming of crops is possible. It is crazy how much the Gulf Stream nourishes Europe with warm waters.
    Another mind blowing fact is that if both Anadyr and Trondheim were the same latitude just south of the equator (ca -64) they'd be in Antarctica. Without the gulf stream a lot of Europe would be no different to Siberia or northern Canada and farming would be impossible.

      Toward the run-up of the collapse of the Soviet, the mid Eighties, the Soviets made mixed progress when it came to using computer technology to keep things running.
      Back when that signed was posted there was no internet but every Soviet City /large Town had a municipal-use mainframe computer, & you needed permission from the local authorities to use them.
      You probably would have had to use punch cards or magnetic tape reel for your programs. 8" floppy disks existed at the time but the Soviet Union did not like that standard; floppy disks could be personally concealed or otherwise easily hidden.
      Try hiding a magnetic tape reel on you. Those things are gigantic.

      ​​​@@CoffeeAndPaul by the late 80s many Soviet schools had computer classes that used something lile Bulgarian Pravets PCs, and floppy disks were in common use. Colleges and universities would have something like Corvettes or Yamahas. That sign on the wall is most likely from late 1980s or 1990s.

    Here in the USA, the end of the Cold War also caused places with military bases to become depopulated. Many bases were closed and the towns around them dried up. Bases in urban areas were redeveloped (for example, the airport in Austin, Texas used to be an Air Force Base, just like Sheremetevo airport in Moscow) but the small towns are just sad and dying.

      So true! I grew up next to a naval base in Massachusetts. Always had the sound of jets flying around. Even then just idling on the runways produced a sound we were used to. Airshows every summer. The base was abandoned for years and is now slowly becoming apartment complexes. They even filmed some movies there. I miss having the base though.
