That's great news Lisa, but as I already sent membership fee on Boosty, this means I have to temporarily cancel my long-standing memberhip to avoid paying twice. Hope you understand. Will set it up again following month.
Hello Lisa. Very nice to see your video again. I have heard of this city from other videos. Thank you for showing this city in the summer months. Many blessings.
You've done again, Lisa. I watched the entire video. I was absolutely fascinated by the history of VORKUTA. The mining history, the reasoning for underfunded government projects, and the statue of the man who founded the city. Even if it's far from civilization of Moscow or St. Petersburg, you have to appreciate what history some of the smaller cities have behidn them. You've have such a talent for delivering such informative videos. Thank you for showing us VORKUTA.
The Fascinating History As You Called It of The Vorkuta Death Camp. The Vorkutlag, or Vorkuta Gulag, was a Soviet prison camp in the Arctic Circle that held many religious believers, including Christians, during the Great Terror from 1932 to 1953. The camp was one of the largest in the Gulag system, housing up to 73,000 prisoners at its peak in 1951. Prisoners included political prisoners, dissidents, prisoners of war, and common criminals who were forced to work in coal mines, forestry, and other labor.
@@JimofTheLionKings. There is an equally fascinating history emerging of an American multinationalist project to occupy 200 miles of the motherland. Most people don’t realize that this 🇺🇸 place is a disorganized mess that can’t feed its own people much less invade Russia. Maybe somewhere there is still the Red Army of Lev Trotsky and Lenin and we will watch the Ho-Ho Nazi American project be remembered with the same aplomb as you did the workers and free men of Vorkuta. Slava to the motherland bitch. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
@@JimofTheLionKings Bravo! Admit it, you were already at the starting line with your revealing knowledge from Wikipedia, in order to throw this knowledge at us ignoramuses? 😂 сарказм
Вы америкосы думаете что все города такие ,и это только и показываете,на самом деле это совсем не так а Воркута просто умерла и в отличие от ваших мертвых городов у нас он один или два
You know I love your videos always, great theme choices, lovely scenes etc. what I find the best though is your attitude and respect to other people, their situation and these places. ❤
Thank you so much, Lisa. This is one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen on YT for some time. The contrast of this town with Moscow, and other places, is amazing.
is a coal-mining town in the Komi Republic, Russia, situated just north of the Arctic Circle in the Pechora coal basin at the river Vorkuta. In 2010, its population was 70,548, down from 84,917 in 2002. Vorkuta is the fourth largest city north of the Arctic Circle and the easternmost town in Europe. It is also the coldest city in all of Europe, boasting a record cold temperature of −52 °C (−61 °F)
@@lisa_with_lovebut as you said they have a hard time with the numbers, estimated population is 25-35,000 thousand according to Anton Glushkov, he says he believes the rest register have left as you mentioned without any paperwork, not selling the apartment or notice to the government 🤷♂️ not the best since of the state of the city, but it you can’t sell your house and you don’t want to stay I see why they just leave but I would still tell the authorities, if they notice your disappearance for no reason you give they will think your in trouble or dead and organize a search, police, helicopters dog patrols public description of the missing person, and I live to as far away from everything in in Denmark on Bornholm same population as the city, but we still don’t have such a large decline despite the population are also lower than in the past
Ah i miss Vorkuta. My wife is from there. First time, I lived there was in 2012. Since we have been in and out of the city. But we will be back this December.
Hola, admiro a los rusos por su persistencia, sacrificio, sencillez y honestidad, veo muchos vídeos de Rusia desde Brooklyn, NY. Saludos y felicitaciones por mostrar Rusia.
Hello Lisa. I've seen several other TH-camrs ' Vorkuta videos, like the ones you mentioned about it being so depressing . I like the approach you took about the positive things, the history of the city and how normal life in Vorkuta seems to you. My favorite part was early in the video when all of the pigeons were surrounding you. Already looking forward to the next video.
Seems like every country has places like that in Vorkuta!! I had relatives who used to work in coal mines in Southern West Virginia. Those days were prosperous times. Things changed and that area went bust. People still live there and work in the same mines, but it is nothing compared to what it used to be!! Just like Vorkuta! Russia is amazing!!! Russia sits on a massive amount of natural resources that spans time zones!!! It is one of the reasons Russia fascinates me!!! Please be careful out there Lisa, when you are exploring!!! Thank you for sharing your adventures in the far north of Russia. Please explore some of the natural beauty around Vorkuta as well!! Thank you Lisa 😊!!!
Ваш комментарий очень приятен радует!! Живу недалеко от Воркуты, очень люблю родину, и конечно, немного грустно что есть такие города, которые раньше процветали, но стали такими.
The abandonment of Vorkuta reminds me of a visit I had to Paldiski in Estonia. This is an old Soviet port town on the Baltic sea that was abandoned a few decades prior to when we were there. Was a very eerie, silent and surreal environment. Very few people with the remnants of a couple of very large Soviet style apartment blocks. As well as a fairly good looking port. Went there to find a statue of a Bashkortostan underground resistance leader. We found the statue but I forget now why he was in Paldiski - or his name for that matter. My friend wanted to see this statue and was very happy to finally discover it - standing proudly in a park.
👍Lisa...I think this Vorkuta video is very interesting, but Probably the Saddest for me ! I thought of all the different Families who would have lived in those old buildings !...I do hope that some more of them are restored for future visitors to that region of Russia !

Yeah, so that was bad. Good thing Russia renounced Communism 35 years ago.

Don't feel bad this is what happens to certain cities. USA has the rust belt, going through there you will be in shock compared to Russia. This is the case when population migrates or don't have enough migration to compensate for the losses.

Если Москва и Питер это красивая картинка, то такие города как Воркута это контраст. Видно то, что люди любят свой город. Хоть и развития, практически здесь нет.
я живу в Воркуте это всё круто но город я свой люблю очень сильно несмотря какой бы он ни был я не понимаю почему у него показывают только плохие стороны если кто не был у нас , у нас очень сильно процветает город и там всё хорошо и сейчас всё благоустраивают поэтому не слушайте никого ведь они рассказывают честичную правду

The beautiful magenta flowers are "fireweed" - the genus is Epilobium, but there are lot of local varieties. They are effectively circumboreal, and are found in "disturbed" areas (called fireweed because they appear after forest fires). The boreal forests (tiaga) of Northern Eurasia and North America are where they do really well. Of course, they predominate everywhere the habitat is messed up, in some regard, and probably have one of the widest natural distributions of any flowering plant. Cheers, R.
How fascinating.. i first saw Vorkuta from some russian urban explorers, in fact they walked and got photographed next to the building you showed with the "danger, don't stand under the balconies" sign. Fascinating city, but depressing nowadays. I would visit it.. just for a visit) Thank you, Lisa! And i wish things work out for you! 💜
Amazing place with all those derelict & abandoned buildings! :o You're brave Lisa to be exploring them as you could get hurt when you're walking through the rubble in them! 17 mines down to 4 is a big drop! Are most of the mines now exhausted I guess? Was the coal used for manufacturing or electric power stations? Look forward to your further adventures in Vorkuta. Seems like 'Gopnik Girl' fits right in there! ;) Take care & stay safe Lisa.🙂😎👍
Thank you Lisa for so much effort, you showed us a great glimpse into a mining town in Russia; it is so distinct compared to our own coal mining towns in US. Vorkuta has a sense of permanence and an imposing gentleness compared to run down coal mining towns I visited on the US. I wish Russian fed finds some funds to revive some of those robust abandoned structures, make the place come to life again. It feels so tranquil and peaceful there; and you have a very pleasant voice and lot of info to keep us glued to your video. Thank you very much for all the work you did.
Speaking as an introvert. Living in a Khrushchevka all alone sounds like heaven 😂😂 I love the vibes of vorkuta, thanks for making an awesome video about this city

@@lisa_with_love awesome, can't wait. I see your channel monetized again? That's awesome. I'll definitely be re subbing to the channel membership when I get my paycheck
I thought Eli covered this town about 18 months ago, was wondering why she went back. Ok, I’m game. Clicked the video on, got distracted right away on something else and just listened intently. This beautiful lady sounds just like Eli so I didn’t know the difference. Finally looked at my TV, lo and behold! Another beautiful Russian lady is covering this cursed town. Russian women are a blessing to mankind 😊
That’s great that YT etc is working again and another great vlog. Learn a lot from your commentary and haven’t seen a Vorkuta not covered in snow and with utilities and cars running. It’s not depressing to anything else.. thinking about where it too could be if not for added hurdles. Read a 2023 TAS S article there are plans to work on ‘axial city structure’ already proposed (during SU if I understand). Cool but warming and so centered maybe a Rosatom powered mega project around (rosa)tourism.. between going from coal to that, recycling efforts documented by local gopnik ✊ etc, it could win some arctic sustainability award.
Thank you for the video, I found your tour of Vorkuta both interesting and fascinating. However, I did get a little nervous watching you walk up those old concrete steps in the abandoned apartment block.
This video is so calming as you stroll through the city and talk and explain us the surrounding:) thank you! Do you think it is impossible to visit Vorkuta as a non-russian speaker? Im so fascinated but also scared because it seems so far away from everything 😔💕
Поспешила со съёмкой на пару месяцев. Надо было в конце сентября снимать. Заодно показала бы как у нас в снег на дороге кладут асфальт. Чтоб он весной вместе с этим снегом растаял.
It’s amazing having a city in the Arctic.❤ With the end of the coal industry Gas will keep central Vorkuta communities going. I would like apartment myself for winter holidays 🎉.Thanks for the video..
@@Ultra-Violet There are still 3 Coal mines running but will eventually close. Gas will keep the city going. If you visit Labytnangi Salekhard Nadym the new boom towns attracting young families for the Gas industry…
@@Ultra-Violet Do a quick google and see even UK is buying Oil and Gas...Russia is making more money today then before the War. I was at the Oil Gas museum in Nadym and amazed how many new wells are spread across the Arctic.China and India are taking as much as they an supply. BAM railway is being doubled tracked to keep up with future supply.
@@abbeystump wow you're so misinformed it's unbelievable, maybe Lisa can put your straight, but I'll give you an example from russian sources, gazprom in 2023 made their first loss in their history, a loss of 7 billion dollars, think about that for a moment 🤔 The economy is going into a free fall, look at inflation, 3rd highest in the world, look at interest rates, almost 19% 🤷🏻♀️ Everything you said in your comment is complete and utter nonsense 👍🏻

It's the first video that I see about this place in summer. For some reason all TH-camrs choose to go in the midwinter. I suposse it's for recording more impacting videos, but the summer is also beautiful there.
Glad to hear the monetization issue has been fixed. Nice video of a very interesting place in summer time, hope to see more travels into the obscure parts of Russia. While you're at the north, maybe you can visit Murmansk.
Infrastructure development in the Soviet era reached remote areas by building new towns for the miners of the time. Although it is a shame that after the collapse of the Soviet era many cities were abandoned and deserted by their inhabitants because Soviet era mines were closed. So far the only truly living city in the Arctic is Norilsk where mines and smelters are still active today.
What a fascinating place Vorkuta is! Thank you for showing it to us! It's a bit sad as it seems that apart from coal mining, there's not a whole lot more going on, and the government doesn't seem interested in any investment there!
I absolutely love Vorkuta! You say it is near the Arctic Circle. Can you see the Northern Lights there (Aurora Borealis)? Most people go to Finland, Iceland or Norway in places like Tromso. However, if I had the chance, I would prefer to go to somewhere like Vorkuta to hunt the Northern Lights! That would be the best experience of my life! I miss Russia so much. I first came to Moscow in December 2020 when you had a very big snow storm. Had to get a special permission and code to enter Russia at that time because of the pandemic but from that moment I loved Russia from deep in my soul. I love watching your videos and hope to go to Russia again soon. ❤
in 8th grade i started doing urban exploring in California USA but then stopped after stumbling to some barn and it happens to be the zodiac killers one of a few locations i'm 15 now and have not explored since 13 for 2 years now love your videos btw
Ребят я живу в Воркуте это всё круто но город я свой люблю очень сильно несмотря какой бы он ни был я не понимаю почему у него показывают только плохие стороны если кто не был у нас , у нас очень сильно процветает город и там всё хорошо и сейчас всё благоустраивают поэтому не слушайте никого ведь они рассказывают честичную правду
Miners day was quite common in Britain, maybe the best known was the Durham miners 'Gala'. Nowadays nearly every coal mine is closed in the country, with coal areas readjusting to a new reality. It is a fascinating history to piece together and the main driver of the industrial revolution. It has created the modern world but is largely forgotten.
I really enjoyed this video. It is sad to see the decay in those old 1950 - 1980s neighborhoods. Generations of families grew up and lived there with things were fresh and new in post war CCCP. I was in Saratov in the 1990s and saw the depression change into growth and modern prosperity. Those remote towns are the exception, and it is hard to keep talented young people when so much awaits elsewhere.
I would like to drive that old blue car. I like the way it looks. I could explore them old abandon buildings just like how I have here. This is a cool location!
Nice presentation. Thank you Lisa from India. This is a sad reality of economic downfall of once prosperous town. This happened to many other towns around the world.

You're brave Lisa to be exploring them as you could get hurt when you're walking through the rubble in them!
17 mines down to 4 is a big drop! Are most of the mines now exhausted I guess? Was the coal used for manufacturing or electric power stations?
Look forward to your further adventures in Vorkuta. Seems like 'Gopnik Girl' fits right in there! ;)
Take care & stay safe Lisa.🙂😎👍
The People of Vorkota are definitely survivors!
Жители Воркуты, благодаря правительству, только и делают что выживают, а не живут.
Thank you Lisa for so much effort, you showed us a great glimpse into a mining town in Russia; it is so distinct compared to our own coal mining towns in US. Vorkuta has a sense of permanence and an imposing gentleness compared to run down coal mining towns I visited on the US. I wish Russian fed finds some funds to revive some of those robust abandoned structures, make the place come to life again. It feels so tranquil and peaceful there; and you have a very pleasant voice and lot of info to keep us glued to your video. Thank you very much for all the work you did.
This content rocks! So interesting Cheers
I love videos like this! Urban exploration, its a thing. Good video, I would feel right at home in place like this.
hello, thanks a lot for watching ❄
Speaking as an introvert. Living in a Khrushchevka all alone sounds like heaven 😂😂 I love the vibes of vorkuta, thanks for making an awesome video about this city
Lisa should have told you the real history. Here's the real vibes.
The Fascinating History As You Called It Lisa of The Vorkuta Death Camp.
The Vorkutlag, or Vorkuta Gulag, was a Soviet prison camp in the Arctic Circle that held many religious believers, including Christians, during the Great Terror from 1932 to 1953. The camp was one of the largest in the Gulag system, housing up to 73,000 prisoners at its peak in 1951. Prisoners included political prisoners, dissidents, prisoners of war, and common criminals who were forced to work in coal mines, forestry, and other labor. The only hope you had was to die soon after your arrival.
we will see more of that in the next video.. journey is not over yet
@@JimofTheLionKings in 1930 the guy who invented advil made it by accident,. His back left leg on his chair was wobbly so he accedently mixed to ingredients together and made advil.
@@lisa_with_love awesome, can't wait. I see your channel monetized again? That's awesome. I'll definitely be re subbing to the channel membership when I get my paycheck
Damn those appartment buildings look like they had enough
Vorkuta' da yaşamalıyım.. Burasını sevdim..❤
Hemen git yerleş oraya.
I thought Eli covered this town about 18 months ago, was wondering why she went back. Ok, I’m game. Clicked the video on, got distracted right away on something else and just listened intently. This beautiful lady sounds just like Eli so I didn’t know the difference. Finally looked at my TV, lo and behold! Another beautiful Russian lady is covering this cursed town.
Russian women are a blessing to mankind 😊
That’s great that YT etc is working again and another great vlog. Learn a lot from your commentary and haven’t seen a Vorkuta not covered in snow and with utilities and cars running. It’s not depressing to anything else.. thinking about where it too could be if not for added hurdles. Read a 2023 TAS S article there are plans to work on ‘axial city structure’ already proposed (during SU if I understand). Cool but warming and so centered maybe a Rosatom powered mega project around (rosa)tourism.. between going from coal to that, recycling efforts documented by local gopnik ✊ etc, it could win some arctic sustainability award.
Thank you for the video, I found your tour of Vorkuta both interesting and fascinating.
However, I did get a little nervous watching you walk up those old concrete steps in the abandoned apartment block.
я в Воркуте живу
Я из Англии но очень хочу визит Воркуте
Cool video 🎉
I drove a Lada long time ago. I loved that car😊Fascinating video!
I can see how it must be a pretty interesting town from the remnant of the buildings
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, Just subscribed to your channel 👏
Very good narration on the video
This video is so calming as you stroll through the city and talk and explain us the surrounding:) thank you! Do you think it is impossible to visit Vorkuta as a non-russian speaker? Im so fascinated but also scared because it seems so far away from everything 😔💕
Brilliant video 👍👍 and your stunning xx
Поспешила со съёмкой на пару месяцев. Надо было в конце сентября снимать. Заодно показала бы как у нас в снег на дороге кладут асфальт. Чтоб он весной вместе с этим снегом растаял.
Very nice, thanks for posting!
It’s amazing having a city in the Arctic.❤ With the end of the coal industry Gas will keep central Vorkuta communities going. I would like apartment myself for winter holidays 🎉.Thanks for the video..
The coal industry hasn't finished, and russian gas has lost over 50% because of the dwarf, and that won't return for many years 👍🏻
@@Ultra-Violet There are still 3 Coal mines running but will eventually close. Gas will keep the city going. If you visit Labytnangi Salekhard Nadym the new boom towns attracting young families for the Gas industry…
@@abbeystump who's buying the gas now 🤷🏻♀️
@@Ultra-Violet Do a quick google and see even UK is buying Oil and Gas...Russia is making more money today then before the War. I was at the Oil Gas museum in Nadym and amazed how many new wells are spread across the Arctic.China and India are taking as much as they an supply. BAM railway is being doubled tracked to keep up with future supply.
@@abbeystump wow you're so misinformed it's unbelievable, maybe Lisa can put your straight, but I'll give you an example from russian sources, gazprom in 2023 made their first loss in their history, a loss of 7 billion dollars, think about that for a moment 🤔
The economy is going into a free fall, look at inflation, 3rd highest in the world, look at interest rates, almost 19% 🤷🏻♀️
Everything you said in your comment is complete and utter nonsense 👍🏻
"This подъезд is blocked". Перевод от бога
Lisa you're so cute and you're able to capture your cuteness in every aspect of your video.
You are so kind ❤❤❤
He says the exact same thing on all your videos, Lisa.😂😂😂

There are 77 coal powered power stations here. Coal is still very dominant source of power.

That's not good.
It's the first video that I see about this place in summer. For some reason all TH-camrs choose to go in the midwinter. I suposse it's for recording more impacting videos, but the summer is also beautiful there.
Glad to hear the monetization issue has been fixed. Nice video of a very interesting place in summer time, hope to see more travels into the obscure parts of Russia. While you're at the north, maybe you can visit Murmansk.
Thank you for sharing it. Yeah, the lake is very clear and preserved
Thanks Lisa for another interesting perspective of life outside of Moscow, ❤❤❤
Infrastructure development in the Soviet era reached remote areas by building new towns for the miners of the time.
Although it is a shame that after the collapse of the Soviet era many cities were abandoned and deserted by their inhabitants because Soviet era mines were closed.
So far the only truly living city in the Arctic is Norilsk where mines and smelters are still active today.
good information thank you.
I just enjoy watching your tours .... more please =)
Are there any government initatives to 'preserve' old soviet monuments and signs?
I used to have a 1988 Lada. I miss the simplicity of it. They were numerous in the UK until around 1998 when they were banned due to emissions
Wow Lisa that old apartment was scary. I saw a good door handle in there. I'm glad you weren't hurt.
I'm not completetly shure what flowers you were talking about but I think they might be Lilacs.
💪🏽MOTHER❤️🔥 RUSSIA💯
What a fascinating place Vorkuta is! Thank you for showing it to us! It's a bit sad as it seems that apart from coal mining, there's not a whole lot more going on, and the government doesn't seem interested in any investment there!
I think the flowers are Giant Bellflower, that's what we call them in England. You do have them in Russia as I have seen them there.
Loved every second of this video.
I absolutely love Vorkuta! You say it is near the Arctic Circle. Can you see the Northern Lights there (Aurora Borealis)? Most people go to Finland, Iceland or Norway in places like Tromso. However, if I had the chance, I would prefer to go to somewhere like Vorkuta to hunt the Northern Lights! That would be the best experience of my life! I miss Russia so much. I first came to Moscow in December 2020 when you had a very big snow storm. Had to get a special permission and code to enter Russia at that time because of the pandemic but from that moment I loved Russia from deep in my soul. I love watching your videos and hope to go to Russia again soon. ❤
Nice video, thanks for that! How did you travel there?
If you have a lovely caring community, things are not so depressive... Love will see you through.
in 8th grade i started doing urban exploring in California USA but then stopped after stumbling to some barn and it happens to be the zodiac killers one of a few locations i'm 15 now and have not explored since 13 for 2 years now love your videos btw
Ребят я живу в Воркуте это всё круто но город я свой люблю очень сильно несмотря какой бы он ни был я не понимаю почему у него показывают только плохие стороны если кто не был у нас , у нас очень сильно процветает город и там всё хорошо и сейчас всё благоустраивают поэтому не слушайте никого ведь они рассказывают честичную правду
Epic !
it is 😎
Miners day was quite common in Britain, maybe the best known was the Durham miners 'Gala'. Nowadays nearly every coal mine is closed in the country, with coal areas readjusting to a new reality. It is a fascinating history to piece together and the main driver of the industrial revolution. It has created the modern world but is largely forgotten.
I really enjoyed this video. It is sad to see the decay in those old 1950 - 1980s neighborhoods. Generations of families grew up and lived there with things were fresh and new in post war CCCP. I was in Saratov in the 1990s and saw the depression change into growth and modern prosperity. Those remote towns are the exception, and it is hard to keep talented young people when so much awaits elsewhere.
Looks like a ghost town!
Excellent video. Thank you!
I would like to drive that old blue car. I like the way it looks. I could explore them old abandon buildings just like how I have here. This is a cool location!
In Alaska, those flowers are called fireweed and when they turn white it means winter is coming
Nice presentation. Thank you Lisa from India. This is a sad reality of economic downfall of once prosperous town. This happened to many other towns around the world.
Lovely Lisa turned Urban Explorer 😊
