Interestingly enough, two elements in this video gave me Jewish vibes. One is the dumplings. We call it "kreplech", and there is a custom to eat it at certain holidays. Usually eaten in a chicken soup or so. The second one is going to the bathhouse. It starkly reminds of the mikvah. Back in Russia, the men and especially the women used to go out in the freezing weather and break the ice of the river/lake and dip, to keep family purity. Also loved your point about the gender roles. Such an interesting and *true* observation. Never thought about it.
The Soviet union sent Jews and political dissidents to labor camps in Siberia. My grandfather had to chop down trees and then chop the wood in below zero weather. He said the wind was so strong it could blow away a grown man.
I remember from my childhood in Montreal that if you hung up laundry outside on a freezing day, the fabric became completely hard with stiff "wavey" grooves in the fabric. But today with dryers you wouldnt see that anymore
If you didn't know the reason why they live in this place.Usually their father's father was sent to Siberia for a punishment.And they keep being there since then they get used to this life.
The ancestors of Sakha people came from the area around the eastern shores of Lake Baikal. It is where the Kurikans were mostly concentrated until the 9th century when Mongols started gaining power and the Buryads started pushing the Kurikans further to the Northeast where they intermingled with the Evenks and the Yukaghirs forming the Sakha identity.
This place looks beautiful and I like to watch people living in the cold from the comfort of my warm home :) I think the takeaway as far as gender roles are concerned is that men tend to be better at the more physically demanding tasks since they tend to be stronger, but I wouldn't say that means men and women are fundamentally very different or that this has major implications for which roles they should have in the US or Canada. There is no real reason why men shouldn't hang up laundry except if they need to be busy with more physically demanding tasks.
Women are not better at hanging laundry. But, women are better at knowing how to hang the laundry. Women are 6 times more sensitive than men and things like going an extra mile to make linens smell more fresh, normally, don’t inspire guys. There is also a baby in the mix over there, and of course, with modern medicine men can take care of babies, because, if they habitually underdress a baby or don’t give the baby enough fluids, or don’t feed the baby a wide range of nutritious foods, the doctor will rescue the baby at the next visit, planned or emergency. Throughout history, this wasn’t the case, survival of children was dependent on mother’s sensitivity to the children’s needs. So, yes, men are better at physical tasks and women ARE better at caring.
@@hpyrkh3 No, I completely disagree, men are more strong on average and that's all we can say. The idea that women are "six times more sensitive than men" is just crazy. I don't know where you got that from. There are differences between the average man and woman, but it seems to me that it's mostly based on culture - obviously women don't like pink because they were born liking pink.
@@Discoursivist there are physical differences between men and women. Let’s take sense of smell. On average, women are more sensitive to smells than men (there is a lot of research on this one). Women are more sensitive to colors than men. There was research looking at new mother’s brain, looked like an OCD brain. Here for you pure physical differences. Now, what you are saying doesn’t make any sense even on logical level. So, nature just made women physically weaker for fun and didn’t give her ANY innate advantages? What is the advantage of just being physical weaker? There is no one, of course. What would be the physical advantages women have that compensate for being weaker?

@@Discoursivist btw, I have children and their preferences in play were not taught or suggested. They were gender specific and very strong from a very early age. In fact, when my daughter was a baby, she only had boys toys around her, because my oldest is a boy, and yet, the first time she saw a doll, she was stunned. You know, it is a testament of how ridiculous our society has become, if people think that children don’t have natural gender specific preferences in play and there no innate differences between women and men, aside men being physically stronger. I would even guess that you are not married and don’t have children, because any experienced human being, would hold the above things self evident.
This really makes me appreciate washing machines and clothes dryers. And hot showers and warmer climates. I wonder when the women get to get their baths. Obviously they weren't going to show the women half naked but did they get theirs earlier? Do they have separate shifts or separate bath days? I didn't catch anything that gave that information.
The woman went right after they finished making the dumplings. Just before they all sat down to eat, they had used it and then returned to eat together.

Loved this video. It's inspiring to see unspoiled people who actually work to survive

Is not jews. Is all people. And Stalin is Georgia
Wow this is interesting we have to appreciate the good weather's in America!!

I’m sure people in Canada also dried clothes in the freezing cold once upon a time. We did it in Belarus.
I really enjoyed this video and your commentary! Thank you!
In the hasidic community we eat this kind of dumplings a few specific times in the year

These are Yakut people, they are native over there.
😅

Thanks for teaching me to appreciate what I have
@PortuguesePai, you can try this lifestyle out over the weekend with the -30 degrees outside!
Fascinating
I read once in David Schipler's book on Russia that in Siberia at 60 below zero the vodka would freeze while one drank it.

@@PortuguesePai ah see somehow I missed that. Thanks for clarifying.
