@@Unc3 sounds off topic but the real project that needs to happen here is to expand the white sea/baltic sea canal so world class ships can move threw it and once that happens all other transit modes would be more than worth building in their best/most efficient/most expensive versions!!!
Наш Мурманск не изолированный, по Северному морскому пути мы попадаем в Китай. В обход европы 😁. У нас морские суда ледокольного класса, так же атомоходы. Добро пожаловать в Россию, в Мурманск 💖, крупнейший город за Полярным кругом 🏙️❄️✨
@Geo Perspective I hope you get this one. Also, Sorry for the length of this comment. Hi there, just some info you (or potentially anyone else who may come across this comment), may be interested in. I’m an Old Man by TH-cam standards and my late Father (God rest his soul), served in The Royal Navy during practically the whole of WWII (mainly assigned to Mine Sweepers, which were some of the Unsung Heroes of that War). Like many other sailors he went out in the open ocean on many a mission, so to speak and I still have the medals he was awarded (also his ‘Blue-nose’ certificate which I believe was given to those sailors who had crossed the Arctic Circle). One of those Missions was to take part in The Very First Ever WWII Large scale Convoy to sail from Scaperfow to Murmansk. A mission that proved to be something of an ‘Education’ for The Royal Navy simply because it showed how Unprepared the Royal Navy ships were for how Freezing Cold it could actually get. When they discovered they were getting literally Inches of Ice forming ‘Inside’ their ships. From that point on they began to greater insulated their ships. That, however, is a different story. This story is about something that happened when my fathers ship was moored in the Port of Murmansk. Basically they happened across a young Orphaned Russian boy, between the age of 9 to 13, who could not speak a word of English and who, presumably, had lost all his family members to the conflict. The boy was in a terrible state, practically starving and in Rags for clothing. The sailors took pity on the boy, took him aboard their ship for a few days, gave him food to help build his strength up . They also fashion a little sailors outfit for him and gave him the Nickname ‘Timoshenko’, named after the Soviet Military Commander Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko. Obviously and inevitably (also sadly), they had to hand the boy over to the authorities so what became of that little boy, if he survived that War or not is unknown. But I know somewhere in my house there is a *First Print Original Photograph* of that boy, standing with the sailors aboard ship, wearing the little uniform they made for him. It is most likely the only surviving ‘Original’ Photograph of the boy. I also know for certain there is an account of the incident written in a book called *‘Out-sweeps!’ by Paul Lund. Which is a Story of the Minesweepers in World War II.* However, his account of what actually happened could prove somewhat controversial. But that’s another story.
@@GeoPerspective Unnecessary compliment I fear. Sadly my knowledge of that particular part of history is not 'deep', it only goes as far as those details I remember my late father telling me. It is hard enough to remember the details of your own life but one thing is for sure I wish I would have written down everything my late father told me... I cannot help but wonder, however, if anyone living in Murmansk knows the story of that young Orphaned Russian boy
@@lilbullet158 Добрый день! Я внимательно прочитала вашу историю и историю вашего отца. Вернее, его экипажа, который приютил русского мальчика - сироту. За что им большое спасибо 🙏. Но я так думаю, что этого мальчика привел к вам не голод, а простое детское любопытство: увидеть людей, которые пришли помочь СССР. Спасибо вам большое 🌹. Думаю, что всё у него сложилось хорошо. Наш Мурманск фашисты почти полностью разбомбили 😢, остались одни печные трубы. Но люди продолжали работать, выходили в море ловить рыбу и добывали рыбу для всей страны. Думаю, что и мальчик был так же пристроен и не погиб.
During the Great Patriotic War, Murmansk also provided important assistance in the supply of both weapons and fish. Also, Murmansk survived 4 wars, and no one was able to conquer it) I'm proud of my hometown❤
@@GeoPerspective I love winters, snow and cold, and miss them a lot. Originally from Hungary, I grew up with proper winters. They exist no more and I moved to the UK, even less winter taste. Thus, I am not joking, if an opportunity ever comes to move to anywhere in Russia, I'd go. My favourite would be Dikson, Vorkuta and Verkhoyansk. :-P Any chance for a video on any of them, please?
@@sol3cito33 Pretty extreme choices, I would much rather live in Hungary and get the best of both worlds. Those cities are unfortunately a little too remote for a video. No one searches for them so I have little incentive.
Russia doing much better than Canada when it comes to populate harsher areas. They have lots of cities with population over 100,000 people in Siberia too. Canada doesnt have any such cities in Yukon, Nunavut or NWT
@@thefirstguyinthevillage9496 by the shool 10 there soviet baraks apartments and before round bell into mormasks also same situasjon when I was there last just before the war. Sentrum okay not so much trash you can come across. But in these sovet apartments that strech from Murmansk entrence all the way to sentrum its another story and by the docks into the sea where there are people still living in the house where its almost to cave in. Crazy that russian state dont take care of people over there...

Super appreciate the comments, thanks Oskar :)
@@GeoPerspectiveYou are also a russophobic 🤡
Thank u so much!! Idk who else made so detailed videos about topics like this in languages other than Russian
I live in murmansk and i started to notice the changes. First of all many projects of energy and infrastructures began to appear. No bad :)
О привет))) я тоже в Мурманске живу)
My family lives in Murmansk:))

They should build a true high-speed rail quadrent linking Arkhangelsk/Moscow/Mermansk/St. Petersburg. this would help with population stability!
the terain between them would make this project either stupid expensive, or take a massive detour making it super inefficient.
@@Unc3 sounds off topic but the real project that needs to happen here is to expand the white sea/baltic sea canal so world class ships can move threw it and once that happens all other transit modes would be more than worth building in their best/most efficient/most expensive versions!!!
Mermansk to St Petersburg sounds feasible and reasonable but high speed rail to Arkhangelsk is useless and would be a stupid waste of money.
Nice video. Deserves more views. Murmansk has always fascinated me, a city of that size so isolated and far up north

Plan on Visiting Murmansk next summer! Great video and great channel! Just subscribed!
I live in Murmansk. Its very interesting place.
Murmansk is interesting because of its history. Is it nice to live there?
is life busy or more laid back?? Hows affordability food, shelter, cars, insurance, electricity, cooking gas bills, petrol prices??
This deserves more views

I wish I had your deep knowledge of the history here when I made this video :D thanks for the comment and for watching

Very informative documentary
Good Video bro
These submarines are without nuclear reactors. These are only enclosures that are recyclable.

Thanks for the comment :D! Moving there, I'm not sure about that but I would love to go on a mega road trip around Russia.

I visited Russia once and I thought it's too cold, but I was horribly wrong. In here I'll turn into a popsicle in no time
The Russian Northern Fleet is stationed in Severomorsk, not in Murmansk.

Murmansk is one of the biggest trash cities of Arctic, all the Russian trash gets dumped from there own apartment window!
