  • 🇷🇺 Whist travelling the backwaters of Russia I heard about the Mordvoian people who speak a language called Moksha. And so began my journey to a village deep in Europe in search of someone who could teach me a few words.

      You do know Instagram is owned by Facebook right Harold? Lol I know you said you don't have a Facebook but if you make an acct then people won't be able to make an acct in your name and ask for money. You'd be able to shut them down instantly.

    There is not only Moksha, there is also Ersya language. Mordva is actually Russian exonym for two ethnic groups - Moksha and Ersya, who speak different languages - similar, but mutually unintelligible.

And it's so much more engrossing and informative than some huge series production on Netflix. I feel like I'm traveling with him, side by side. That's the magic. And you can't not help but love the guy. Amazing channel

These village people that have never met you before, welcome you in to their homes, dress and sing to you and share their history and culture. Its a wondrous thing......... this is why you will break 1 million by Xmas for sure. Fully deserved.
