Correction: RUSSIA now Officially have 89 Regions...it includes the New 4 Regions who overwhelmingly voted to Reunify with Russian Federation, which are DPR, LPR, Zaparozhia, Kherson...
It's just an autocratic culture of terror and fear, violence and corruption, suppression of human rights, no freedom of speech or dissent.

I knew Russia was a diverse country, but never imagined it was that diverse. It’s like a whole another world in itself. Very interesting and informative video. 👍👍👍
Yes. An interesting fact is that Russia is bigger than Pluto in size :) Indeed, as a separate planet
It spans over 11 time zones and two continents, different people, different nations, different cultures.... There are differencies across a few hundreds of miles, let alone time zones. We need to watch and learn about these things, not about BS in everyday's media, which, we know, support different agendas. We need to know and understand eachother.
Our ignorance is the root cause of everything bad. Ignorance is food of fear, fear is the fuel of haterade, haterade is the seed of war.
We don't need that, that's why we need to see things like this.
Peace to all!

Whereas this is a really good video to raise awareness about the diversity in this "federation," Eli is ignoring the fact that there's no real "federation" today, republics have no real power to decide, even though they have their constitutions. Moscow has total control over everything. They keep changing the constitution whenever they want and however they want.
@@BulatShaymi I don't want to be her advocate or anything else, she talks about diversity, beauty and richness of it without politicising anything. What is wrong with that? If you ask me, nothing.
You brought up something which has nothing much to do with anything she said and it is a completely different subject.
I am from the Republic of Moldova, and most of us speak the Russian language quite fluently. Do not forget that russian is not only in the Russian Federation. Greetings
Was Moldavia where Fran the Nanny was hired by a post Soviet dictator to take care of his children after his wife dies?? 😃😃😃😃😃
and we do not forget .. and in general we consider you our brotherly people.
Wasn't Russian language education mandatory in all former Soviet Republics?

It's a shame to be Russian nowadays...th-cam.com/video/dTsMgyE6ZO0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bX7gnG2ujOVTuR2H
I lived in Russia for 5 yrs and was told that my accent was from Volgograd. It turns out that I pronounced the letter " O " as an " O " instead of a deep " A " and also I tended to roll my " R ". My Russian wife would laugh at me so many times but as you said, everyone understands Russian even in the Altai where I thought their Russian was different than the other places I visited.
yes, all the peoples of Russia speak Russian perfectly without an accent. In the Vologda Oblast, the letter "O" is also emphasized, but this is probably the only time we can determine where a person comes from.

I really love the diversity of Russia. I am from South Korea. To Vladivostok, it takes only 1.40hours. To Khabarovsk, 2.30hours. But I found it takes forever from Khabarovsk to Moscow.😅 the earth is round and Russia is big. However many times I visited Russia, I couldn't say I know the country. Thanks for a nice explanation.

Incredibly fascinating ! There is so much to be discovered about Russia and its diversity of languages and cultures- what a beautiful window into your world ! I come from Papua New Guinea which is a small country of 7 million people north of Australia which is so different from Russia, yet similar in the sense that we have 800 different languages & cultures and yer are united in our diversity.
In india we have 22 official language and more than 1600 languages. Love from india ❤
There are places in Africa where if you go 5 miles in any direction it is a totally different language. In China if you go 40 miles in almost any direction you will be experiencing a new dialect. Russia has been working over the centuries to be more coherent and unified.
Because most are migrants in Russia in newly established cities unlike Africa.
actually same as africa@@Q_QQ_Q
In Chine they call them dialects, but the are totally diferent languages. Nice assimilation.
@@GamesOfficialTH-camBS, stop watching Western propaganda.
Unified ‘national languages’ are a recent phenomenon. France, for example, still had hundreds of mutually incomprehensible languages until the nineteenth century. They were mostly wiped out by education carried out in the Parisian dialect.
In general, increases in wealth go hand-in-hand with homogenous language and cultural levelling. If you never leave your village, then you only need communicate with and get along with those in your village.
This is an awesome video, Eli. I have often been confused by the difference between oblasts, krai and republics and your video answered this and much more. Facts and the sheer size of Russia always amaze me. How can 277 ethnic groups coexist ? It's incredible. This is one of the best videos you have made, Eli.
Russia has 193 ethnic group. Majority russian 80%.then tatar 3%. Remaining population other ethnic group.
I have mixed Slavic blood, I have lived all my life in Russia and I, like many others, do not have a division of people by nationality. I think we are one in spirit. This is the unity after the Second World War, when our ancestors, grandfathers, fathers, brothers died together, defending their land, their country.
without violence and terror, the so-called 'federation' would have disintegrated long ago
In my opinion, there are more ethnic groups only in India. But in India there is no such dominance of one ethnic group as in Russia
@@ivanpetrov2853too bad the peesident doesn't use interwebs.
Love this, Eli! I recently became fascinated with Russian language and culture. Я люблю изучать русский язык.😊
Thank You! What an Amazing country, it makes me sad we've been shielded from it in America. It give me such feelings for Russia I can actually tear up about it, which is not normal, just because of everything about Russia an knowing the truth. I love you all.
I'm also obsessed with the Caucuses region for a few years now. Just recently on the "High Caucuses" YT channel, they had an Armenian band playing the traditional Berd dance song. I listened like 50 times, I was one of the first to see it too - from America.. I feel very lucky!!❤🇷🇺❤

If you know the truth, the real truth about Russia, surely you must know it invaded a peaceful, sovereign country and is actively in the process of savagely destroying its land, raping, torturing and killing it's people, plundering it's cultural heritage and abducting it's children. Just for starters. What is there to love, like, admire or respect about such a country? Or the citizens that gleefully commit these barbaric acts?
Приезжайте в гости 😉. Нормальным людям в России ничего не угрожает. У нас нет официальной пропаганды что нужно убивать и ненавидеть человека за его гражданство или национальность. Люди просто об этом не думают. Я встречаю сейчас туристов из западных стран
@@margo7059thank you.. its one of my life goals to visit or move to Russia ❤
I'd say the difference between countries like Armenia, Georgia and Russian Caucasus Republics that it's quite strong Muslim Republics. And it makes interest to visit it. There're amazing mosques in Chechnya like in Istanbul. And their ethnic dancing is something awesome, really breathtaking. And Dagestan republic became the most popular direction among Russians nowadays due to their spectacular scenery)
Eli, you made me laugh, until there were tears. A Russian speaker who says, "I don't want to study boring Grammar".
Grammar is not at all boring!
😅😅😅😅
Russia is such a diverse place I wanna learn about all the ethnic groups and languages there
Do you live far from Russia? If not, Russia can do a "special operation" and they'll include you in their "empire", then you'll see for yourself.
@@salad7776 no I don't live in Russia I know the situation there is very hard right now for everyone I know how these groups are affected I hate the Russian government and what they are doing its horrible but just because i don't like the government of a country doesn't mean I hate the culture language and good people like Eli so think before jumping to conclusions I am not Z nor never will be
@@spicylemonade Great, but it's not true that it is very hard right now for everyone there, because the ruling mafia and its clappers like Elina are doing great, and it's not the government that kills, sends rockets, rapes and steals, it's the people of this evil empire called "soldiers" who do it.
@@salad7776if Russian lives are so blissful and perfect why have millions of them fleed to other countries Why are there people in Russia being arrested for speaking out and why are Russians being forced to fight this war and you say “its the people who do these things not the government” the government makes the people do it and arrests them if they don't and why are you attacking Eli she's just showing off Russian culture she's not saying anything about the war this video has nothing to do with the war so why don't you go comment and Pro Z peoples channels instead
@@salad7776 You lie. All parts of Russia joined Russian land volunteerly , mostly to save themselves from external family. It's your country tried to occupy other lands and territories. Russia usually protects and saves other people.

@@NotSteveCook My family moved to Toledo Washington when I was 3. We lived in a tent until we finished building a log cabin by the creek... We had a horse and a big garden. Then a few years later, it burned down and we moved to Grayland, Washington... a short walk from the beach. We got enough money from insurance that my family bought two houses side by side. The girls lived in one and the boys in the others (8 kids plus mom and dad). At 17 years old, I ran away from home to see the world... California, Mexico, Guatemala, then back, a bus tour around the states and back to home.. except everyone had gone. So I joined the Army.

Even though russian sounds alike everywhere in Russia, you still may guess the region of a speaker by some words one uses or their pronunciation.
I like Perm's accent :) I also like Bryansk's accent, it's very specific too!
I personally come from Siberia, Altai and people usually recognize my accent. But what many people don't know is that in Altai kray itself there are about 80 nationalities and they all speak Russian, yet they all are able to speak their own languages, keep their traditions and religions. And every year during the Day of the Capital we all come together to celebrate our diversity :)
very natural storytelling structure and editing, was enjoyable to learn
soo many ethnic groups live free and maintain their culture , language and traditions in Russia , is amazing

Surprised about the lack of regional accents in Russia, where I live in Wales you can go 5 miles or to the next Valley and the accent is totally different and unique to that particular area. This is pretty much the same across the whole of the UK.
Regional accents are also widespread in Russia, the accents are most pronounced among the Caucasian peoples
Reqional accents develop over centuries in people's *native* language. Accents do not develop when people are speaking a foreign language.
For example, in India there are hundreds of regional accents in Hindi, but all Indians speak English with the same accent.
I'm sure there are plenty of regional accents in Russia but only in the people's native language.
This is true. I can understand Russian where-ever I am in Russia, but I explain about Scotland, Wales, Newcastle, Liverpool where it would be difficult to understand the regional differences and dialects.
I think it's because of the radio, TV...
There are regional accents, but you would spot them only if your own accent is much different (say Moscow vs Ural). Most people try to speak "proper" Russian, like they do on radio and TV. If you comment on someone's accent they might take offense, like you are implying they are illiterate.
The world is a better place with Eli in it.
Great video. It is incredible how a big country with many many people have no accent in its official language. In Brazil we have no language barriers to speak portuguese one another, but each citry, each region from Brazil the people have their own way to speak portuguese.
Another great video. I have learned much about your beautiful country from them. Thank you.
An interesting video blog of such huge country's language discussion. A real documentation of Russian variety types of language. Thank you Elli madam.
Hi Eli,
UK is small yet there are so many dialects. Thank for your interesting video, always a pleasure to watch. 👏👏👏
Hi Eli "Nanay" in Filipino means mother! I like it when your language refers the word to a child or grandmother, I can still see the connection.❤
The first time I've heard in cartoon 'Abominable ' how Chinese girl calls her granny nanay) I was so pleased it sounds similar in Tatar and Asian languages 😊
I’ve posted this before but worth saying again. Your videos go way beyond simply entertaining and educating foreigners. Your documenting cultures and ways of life that in many cases will not exist decades from now. Keep it up.
*Do not carry nonsense, why did you get the idea that there will be no culture of certain peoples in Russia, we are not Europeans cannibals who came to a foreign land and exterminated all North American Indians!*
Eli - an awesome video! Please keep educating us about the beautiful people of Russia 👍💞
hello eli, just wanted to say you have been a big inspiration for me to move to Russia and teach English, and I will be doing it soon! your courage is infectious.
Отличный выпуск, смотрел с яндекс переводчиком. Великое дело делаешь, спасибо большое. С помощью подобных видео и с такой тёплой подачей, люди за рубежом смогут узнать и понять нашу страну намного лучше.

Thanks Eli.-193 Ethnic groups. 😯
and what is very important - these are the indigenous people living on these lands for hundreds and even thousands of years. They are all NATIVE in their ancient lands with history, monuments, languages, culture and Graves of their own ancestors.
Now compare this with what the Western "civilizers" did to the natives they occupied.
Love it. Languages are aesthetic interests of mine. Though I'm not a linguist. Maybe in another life! Thanks for interesting personal reflections about languages in Russia.
Круто! Спасибо за такое видео. Буду его использовать, объясняя иностранцам, как много народов живёт в нашей стране
Russia is so great and varied. I would like to know more details about each ethnic group and region. Thanks a lot 👍
Thank you Eli for making this very informative and interesting video about the "federal subjects of Russia". I already knew the differences between the federal subjects of Russia because I did a very detailed presentation in school on Russia years ago as a young student. Russia has always been a very fascinating country for me.
You are doing such an amazing job showcasing the vastness of your country! The tourism board needs to give you an award! :D
2:37 the difference is pretty simple.
There are 6 types total of administrative constituent entity in Russia:
oblast(48), kray(9), city of federal significance(3) --- territorial entities
[autonomous] republic(24), autonomous oblast(1), autonomous okrug(4) --- ethnic entities
The title "kray" ("frontier" or "territory") is historic. Krais are legally identical to oblasts. 3 major Russian cities function as separate regions.
The republics that are part of Russia have the right to establish their own state languages, which are used along with the state language of the Russian Federation. All autonomous oblasts (except one) became republics after USSR collapsed.
Russia consists of 89 entities (60 territorial and 29 ethnic). 24 republics (of 29 ethnic entities) have established 37 additional state languages.
Russia is such a diverse, beautiful place with equally diverse and beautiful people.

the main thing is not to get confused in grammar, otherwise if you write incorrectly, it will not be Russian, but Belarusian
Eli! I am from the US and I absolutely love your channel! Hopefully one day, I will be able to visit Russia and check out some of the places you’ve shared in your videos.
I live in Denmark and when you travel from one town to the other, the dialect changes. Sometimes a little, but often a lot.
Could one say Russian is to the nationalities as English is in Sweden to the several dialectal groups? As far as I know the Communist party of the USSR wanted everyone to be able to communicate with everyone within the boundaries of the country. This was part of their remarkable and highly successful nationality policy.
@@whukriede not quite. Sweden still has a national language that most swedes understand, they have not english as a state language.
@@JK-jt3lr Well yes, sure.
Same here in Czechia, I can say where is that person from just by his accent in English, our regional accents are that strong, that you can hear that even when they speak different language, for example people in Moravia increase volume at the end of word (especially when it ends with i) and people from Silesia skip long vowels (like in Polish) and you can hear that even when they speak English. Even here in village 30 km from my mother city (which is Prague), I sometimes have problem to understand, for example they use completely different word for female dog and such things related to animals or agriculture and they use word "longer" where it was supposed to be word "later" which makes me crazy, like they say "I will arrive longer" instead of later and when you explain it to them, you will realize that they totaly don't know their native language, so I don't understand how could they finish elementary school. 😀
They remarkably and highly successfully murdered or imprisoned or forcibly displaced millions of people who had no interest or desire to communicate in the empirial language of the authoritariam warlords that subjucated them, and forced them to learn...
Absolutely love your videos, especially those about Russia. I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me to hope that one day I will visit there. Thank you.

I want you to try to learn Tabasaran language. Its a tiny nation in Russia. Tabasaran was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the largest case system in the world, with 48. Hjelmslev (1935) claimed that Tabasaran had the 'empirical maximum' number of cases, with 52

Superb! The transition to the sponsorship segment was so smooth! Thank you Eli for sharing tea and conversation with your mother. The preservation of a language and a culture as well as the wisdom of one's elders is commendable. This video would be very good for Russians learning English, travel agencies and even Anthropologists at Universities. Your grandchildren might also appreciate it.
Another excellent video. I can honestly say you covered the language and ethnic mix of Russia better than National Geographic.... Given the short time and clarity of information.... You deserve a prize for this...this is your TOP informative video about your homeland Russia, and you should be very proud of it
Great video Eli. Living in Russia already for 3 years, I have traveled through different regions of Russia. I think this video explain very well the core of Russian culture: Multicultural coexistence and tolerance, things that the rest of the world does not understand much, especially when they refer to Russia.
Это не толерантность. Это взаимоуважение.
Depends if countries don't want to be ruled by Moscow any more. Bombing independent Chechnya back to the stone age and recolonising it wasn't a great example of tolerance.
@@Christubeopher You are a liar worthy of the Goebbels Prize!
Its so important to preserve each regional language and also have a common tongue to communicate together also. Languages really hold the unique customs and beleifs of a culture.
Spasibo for your efforts to educate us on Russia---such a fascinating place on Earth. I married into a Russian family from Rostovski Oblast. I can tell you that amongst themselves they do have a recognizable accent (especially with humour and emotions). With me or in any formal situation they will speak in that "clear & beautiful accent-free Russian" as you and my wife speak. I, 95% agree with you that there is effectively no accent or dialects in Russia as in Italy---where the language/dialect of my father would nearly be incomprehensible to those from outside of the region. Learn Russian and people will understand you across 9 ---or is it 11 time zones???....

Thank you again Eli for your wonderful videos and teaching us more about your wonderful country, languages and traditions. I'll get to visit Russia one day hopefully 🙏
It’s interesting that the word for grandmother, “nene”, is the same in Tatar and the Turkish spoken in Bulgaria. There are other such words which are not used in Anatolian Turkish. It would be nice if Eli could visit the Chuvash republic. That’s another interesting ethnic group.
Hello from Shupashkar (Cheboksary) 💛❤
They do use "nine" in Istanbul Turkish, but mostly anneanne for mother's mother and babaanne for father's mother. Nine is more original and authentic that goes back thousands of years. Chuvash Turkic people are the real Bulgar Turkic that saved their language. Most Chuvash does not teach their language to their kids. Only minority!
@@nastassiamikhailova Hello to old Bulgar Chuvash people. Your language is declining rapidly. This is so sad! You have established many empires and kingdoms in the past. Not only Bulgar, Suvar kingdoms, you are also related to mighty Huns. Yes, your precious and unique Turkic language originated from the first Turkic language known in Hunnic Empires, both in old Hunnic Empire, European Hunnic Empire and in others. Hunnic Turkic language was predecessor of Bulgar-Chuvash. You have resisted thousands of years. Now all your heritage and language are extinguished by an obscure Slavic language just few centuries ago. (now Russian became the most famous Slavic language)
@@thraciensis3589 I’m not sure what “Istanbul Turkish” is. I am aware of the use of “nine” to refer to old women but that like the word for apple, “elma” instead of “alma” sound like deforestations. The overwhelming majority of the population of Turkey are descendants of non-Turkic speakers such as Armenians, Greeks and other native Anatolians who were Turkified in a long process known as “elite dominance”. A relatively small number of ruling ethnic group brought in a new language and a religion. Within centuries the big part of Anatolian population was Turkified. Latin America became “Spanish” in a similar way. I suspect many ethnic groups in Russia are undergoing a similar process of Russification but things are different in information age now.
@@BalkanMode İstanbul Standard Turkish is the official dialect of Turkey and the official Turkish dialect in Balkans, Iraqi Türkmen etc. Yes, there are many local dialects, but only Istanbul dialect used in education, newspapers etc.
The video that I've been searching for years. You've replied most of the questions in my mind. Thanks a bunch Eli!
Very educational and entertaining! You're so funny at times, Eli, as well as charming! It probably took you a long time to put the pieces of this video together, and we appreciate that. I hope the day comes when you have over a million subscribers, because you deserve it.
Тогда ее канал заметит Ютуб и удалит без предупреждения. Сейчас удаляют все каналы, которые хоть что-то хорошее говорят про Россию. Дело Геббельса на западе живёт и процветает.
That was wonderful and so interesting. I loved hearing about this, and there’s so much to cover.
So fascinating and educational, thank you Eli for making this
In The U.S. You can easily tell what region a person is from. Sometimes down to the state.
How you can tell that you are from north caroline , not from south carolina?
@@AlexanderTch One of the biggest misconceptions I encounter is that people think dialect boundaries coincide with state boundaries. Nothing could be further from the truth. Also, there are lots of small dialect area in the East because that part of America has been settled the longest. Go out West, and there's not nearly so much dialectal variation.
Not dissimilar in Britain. Whilst some counties have similar accents, there can be tell-tale signs such as rhoticity, phonemes, and dialectics which indicate (accurately) where the speaker is from. It's possible to tell which city or town someone is from at times even outside of specific "accent areas" such as Newcastle or Liverpool. For example, I'm originally from a city next door to Leeds in West Yorkshire (for Leeds accent - think Mel B from Spice Girls) and yet it's possible to detect a difference between the two due to the Leeds accent having slightly flatter vowel sounds (e.g. make = /meɪk/ vs /mɛk/), and fewer glottal stops.
Howdy🤠 can you tell where I'm from?
@@eltonbritt1502 Mississippi? 🙂
This was very educational and very well made. Thank you so much Eli. This map is so cool🤩
This was fascinating, Eli. Thank you!
Hi Eli, this was fascinating and really enjoyable. Thanks a lot and I look forward to your next video.
My family both mum and dad originates from near a small village in Turkey called Tatar Koy joined to a town called Luleburgaz. So I guess the Tatars are spread over other countries I met some in Romania while on business some years ago who I could even understand using similar Turkish words.
In fact, different peoples are called Tatars: for example, Tatars from Tatarstan and Tatars from Crimea are not related ethnic groups at all.
@@alexgainsborough4921 I would agree different in the sense of genetic relations but some similarity in cultural and language. People assimilate in empires. I'm of Turk origin but my dna test results make me Macedonian, Greek and Irish and even none Turk.
@@naturealbums It's just a language group. Look at the Yakuts and the Turks - do they have anything in common? This is just like Estonians and Hungarians are in the same language group - but they are not related ethnic groups.
Yes, there are many ethnic Greeks living in Turkey. It seems that Erdogan has Greek roots too.
@@naturealbums in Russia no one is assimilated: you can be anyone - but if you are one of us, you are one of us - you are part of your small, as well as the universal big nation of Russia. You are as much a part of your small nation as you are a part of the universal big nation of Russia. No one forces Mansi, for example (they live in my region), to call himself Russian - he is already a Mansi, who is part of the entire Russian people : )
This is not just the main - but the only reason why the Poles were unable to create their great Slavic empire: they forcibly turned everyone into Poles. But they still do not understand the simple truth: Empire and nationalism are incompatible.
@@alexgainsborough4921 You are confusing nazism with nationalism. Nationalism is about political nation, not ethnicity.
Another wonderful video - thank you Eli. I enjoy learning how amazing and diverse Russia is. I’m also impressed that you celebrate all the rich ethnic groups culture.
Very interesting video, Eli! Thank you!
Fascinating. That for sharing Eli.
Dialects in Russian actually exist, but their dialect is not lexical, but rather phonetic. Although there were lexical differences before. In the explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language, you can find the marks "dialect".
Let's go and read the comment of an Amurican that has read an article in a magazine instead of watching the video lol
А что "амурикан" сказал не так?
@@vlagavulvin3847 he is referring to "murica" thing Americans say.
@@realemonful Он прав. Просто это настолько незначительные отличия, что уже почти нельзя назвать это "диалектом"
That’s true, most of them are phonetically different, but some of them are lexically as well. But to find and hear those dialects one should go to the furthest village in Pskov oblast or somewhere. Some dialects are also grammatically different, as they may use Present Perfect tenses that have completely vanished from the modern Russian.
Omg I’m so in love with Eli 😍…she’s not only beautiful but she’s adventurous, smart, and not lazy! I don’t speak Russian but it is definitely a beautiful language
Thank you Eli , I look forward to your tours ❤
What a lovely Countenance. And attitude.
Your channel is amazing, educational. I am happy to learn more about in your high quality videos.
Fascinating video! Loved this😊
Beauty country definitely will visit Russia. Love from 🇮🇳
Thanks for a great video. I'm definitely inspired to learn the Tatar language. Looking forward to the next video. I'd be interested in more videos about Tatarstan and Bashkirostan, especially outside the main cities.
Откуда вы? Редко кто хочет изучать татарский
@@friendlyperson1476 Я из Америки, но я останавливался в Казани раньше. Я люблю татарский блюда и людей и ичиги.
I’m from Nicaragua, a little county in the very middle of Central America of the Americas, I have travel a little enough to know that people from big countries, have a different perception of the world. However you seems to be special in the way you connect with people from small communities. Aside of been beautiful in the inside and outside. Congrats. Keep going
Don't have your native language left? It's a pity.
Thanks, Eli. I've been curious about this topic for a while.
Thank you Eli. Love to see your videos. Love and Peace.
Блин, ты крутая вообще! 🥰
Такое ценное, важное видео!
Благодарю тебя за то, что ты его создала.
Eli this is a great video, well done on seeing so much of your country, so many people have not seen much of their own country.
I love your personality and openness you have a wonderful disposition and approach.
So many countries could learn from Russia on how to accept and embrace multiple ethnic groups.
An interesting and informative Video. Thank you Eli!
Eli, as always, you are elegant, informative and clearly passionate about your homeland and the many diverse people who make it up.
The Volga Tatars live in the central and eastern parts of European Russia and in western Siberia. They are the descendants of the Bulgar and Kipchak Turkic tribes who inhabited the western wing of the Mongol Empire, the area of the middle Volga River.
They speak turkik language but they are mongoloids , she said it .
Volga Tatars and Siberian Tatars are 2 different groups. They started to be called the same word by Russians
siberian tatars is different nation
They are not Turks. Stop making them connected. It's peculiar.
@@CassandraMatts Он не связывает их с турками в Турции.
I love hearing about the various groups and their similarities and differences.
awesome... mbak eli...
