Staying in a Russian village with my dad | How we heat the house in winter
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- My father lives in a small wooden house in the Ural mountains. He's a bit traditional and keeps his home in a conservative way - there's no central heating or water, so you need to bring the water to your house and prepare the woods to keep it warm in winter. I've decided to share one day in our house with you :)

Eli I'm retired US military. Most people understand people and governments aren't one and the same. People like you are the key to peace and understanding. As others said, keep strong and keep filming. This old man loves you and your channel. ☮
Sir, thank you for your service.
I just wanted to mention Russian government is one of a kind. They are saying that Ukrainians are Nazis, how ridiculous
They say that because Hitler forced Ukraine to fight the U.S.S.R.
@@hershellacey9405 well even if that is the case, it’s been 70 years since. Move on man, it’s 21st century. Who makes wars these days. Smart people invade outer space, cowards invade earth.
If you lost your family to Hitler you might think differently.
@@hershellacey9405 are you referring to me?
I don't care what other people say about the Russian people, I myself think Russian people are beautiful and loving people, and hard working, great video, many hugs and kisses, I'm from the U.S
❤
Don't listen those negative comments Eli. You are not a politician . You are not a soldier. You are there to follow your dreams and tell the world your world. Best wishes and many regards to you from USA .
Eli I’m from Pakistan. I am 66 and never lost my fascination to travel and meet new people. Just yesterday I don’t know how, but your channel popped up on my TH-cam screen, and I have been absolutely taken by it, sharing it with friends and family so everyone sees how beautiful Russia is. It’s breathtaking, ne you truly are such a warm, courteous person, it’s a joy. Thankyou for taking us on this beautiful journey into your country and culture
I love you and Russia. I am very old 77 yesterday. Though I have never been to Russia it is what I want to do before I die. I am an Orthodox Christian, too.🙂 God bless you. And God bless Russia 🇷🇺
❤
Надеюсь вы живы и здоровы! Дай Бог вам долгих лет жизни!
Thank you Eli and God Bless all Russians for saving the world from tyranny.
You are a wonderful ambassador for Russia. I greatly admire Russia and all her People. Keep up the good work Eli.
Just ignore the snide and sarcastic comments. You are doing a fantastic job presenting your country. For every complainer, there are probably a thousand viewers who enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
I'm an old American dude of 77. This reminds me of my good old days. My father's family were all born in the 19 century. What divides people is usually a fiction and what brings us together is the human heart. I love how you make the pancakes!
I'm British and I love Russia and your channel. Keep up the wonderful work. God bless Eli and beautiful Russia.
I live in a forest. I am 700 feet above sea level in a small village 1 hour north of Montreal. I like to heat the house with mapple wood with a slow combustion stove. When I'm not at home it's electric heating. But it’s true that it’s a lot of woodworking, but it gets me moving ! We cook with gas and we have a generator connected to the electrical panel. This way, in the event of a breakdown, we are autonomous, a sort of ``off the grid`` living. It's sad that your dad is going to lose his traditional fire place, a beautiful piece of art. Say hello to him 😀👋
I miss living in a small quiet village in the country. The sounds of birds and the rustling a trees filled My childhood. I’ve heard that Russians have a word for the holy roots of your child hood. Your rodina, I can’t imagine I spelled that right.
Just keep doing it for as long as you can. People around the world will keep watching your work.
You are doing a great job Eli and we love you. Just so you know, your principal is our principal. Don't be discouraged by narrow minded and brainwashed people - they are know every thing about nothing. All your videos are best of the best. Thank you Eli.
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Sincere. Smart. Inquisitive. Genuine. Thanks for reminding us to think critically AND practice kindness both online and off. Your curiosity is a real gift, imo.
Exactly!🙂
Hello from America! Keep posting. Do not let the ignorant deter you. We are all united.
Hello. I'm from Brazil and i love your channel.
I agree with you about the war. We need love, peace and fraternity.
Congratulation
Don't bother with the neigh sayers and nasties. You are doing a fantastic job and we really enjoy watching all your videos.
Gréât philosophy! Thank you !
You provide much happiness to the world. Keep it up!
My ancestors came to CANADA in 1755 -56 as they were the masters of the vessels bringing the new settlers. I find your Country Russia intriguing and hope to travel there one day. We love your videos.
One comment rightly stated that governments and people are not the same. But beyond that, haters will continue hating because that's what they do best and they simply follow what their media teaches them. They are incapable of thinking critically. Anyone who can hate a presenter of such an informative channel must be sick. Please continue with your excellent work, knowing that many of your viewers appreciate your humanity, your gentleness and integrity. Those who don't have these kinds of hangups appreciate your work and will continue learning about your wonderful country, its people, dynamic culture, diversity and cuisine. Keep on with your good work.
Eli..you and your family are so Awesome, Great,and Remarkable!!!
Love learning about Russia thank you for teaching. From FL. 🇺🇸
Just found your channel and really enjoy your commentary. Hello from Alabama, USA. Keep up the good work. All the best.
Please continue with your wonderful videos! You are great Eli!
You don't owe anyone anything, you are completely innocent in all of this, Eli. We all know this. You just keep living your life as you were, and keep doing your thing.
th-cam.com/video/rrG6m2gtNVM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TODAY
@IMAM KE 13 ahlul bait yes you’re attacking an innocent Tartar women like a brainless rabid dog. Please stop bro. Go to the political channels and do that. Leave her alone.
@Ghost. I agree with you. Love from India ❤️. We all know, who are the main culprits in Ukraine Russia war. Western media is not telling truth to the public for which hatred got generated towards Russian citizens.
@@Swargadeo I'm in the USA. The media here has not even tried to portray the Russian citizens as responsible. I would agree that Western media is not telling the whole truth. I seriously doubt that the state run media in Russia is either. But here, I see simple joy, cats that don't want to walk on ice or in snow. I see Eli smiling. All of that seems genuine to me. In south Texas, no one I know blames the Russian people. And down here, It doesn't have to be that cold for us, our dogs and cats, to just want to stay inside. For me, it was good to see how her dad cuts the firewood, but I have central heat, the fireplace is the backup. We don't know how to snow ski, but water skiing is another matter. Ice skating? Roller skates. Different but somehow the same.
I just found this channel today but I have watched her earliest and newest. She seems to promote understanding and knowledge of other peoples and cultures, focus on what we have in common rather than differences. We're all different, but we're all the same. To me it seems she wants peace. So do I Labore pro Pacem...
@@beachbum77979 you are so understandable, that's the true liberal mind. Till now, i didn't understand what liberal means to western world, i see, hear liberal organizations , people are doing riots, attacking conservatives, want to force others to accept the way these liberal think. No protest from liberal people on Ukraine Russia war, nothing, m confused 🤔
You can tell a lot about a person, by how they treat animals. Eli is clearly a kind-hearted young woman who wants better things for this world than war. I wish her all the best!
is she vegan?
Stay strong for the truth will come.
Eli,I recently found your channel and am delighted w it and you. Thanks for such lovely content. Hope you can ignore hateful comments.
Hi Eli , we do the same in my childhood in my country they call that sauna i and my siter and 4 brothers sitting in banja or sauna , and after we got warm to much we run out and rolling around in snow , thank you for your programs , peace and love to every one .
No people should have to be responsible for the actions of their governments.All Russians aren't responsible for Ukraine.All Muslims aren't responsible for terrorism.
All Americans aren't responsible for Iraq,Vietnam, and countless others.
Keep doing what you do, Eli. I and many others love your videos. Russia is a stunning country, with beautiful culture and history.
Especially in a non democratic country: people in Russia are not accustomed to question their governments. And that's normal, if you consider their (recent) history. People in Russia are protesting against war but probably that's not enough. If thay cannot choose their government how can thay go against it?
Every nation has got the government it deserves 🤔
@@andreaorofalo its called a revolution. The people of my country would fight and die rather than live under the thumb of some dictator. This is what Russian's needs to do.
@@andreaorofalo " Russia are not accustomed to question their governments" - quiet the opposite. We blaim gov for pretty much anything bad in our life. Most think that if not the gov, we would have lived like in switzerland. That is pure stupidity.
And yes, we will defend ourselves from nato if nato wants us "decolonized".
Honey, this is one of the best post you have made!! My Parents have passed away, to see you with your Dad melted my heart!! No matter where your adventures take you, you will NEVER experience anything better than love of your Parents and the "heart memories" you make with them. Friends come and go, you only have one Mom and Dad. Cherish them. As for those with hatred in their hearts, YOU are not the problem, THEY are the ones with the problems in THEIR hearts. You stay true to who you are. We have come to love you all over the world.
Prayers for ALL!!!

Love you videos. We are from a small rural town in northern Minnesota and can relate to having fun in the winter. Keep up the great work!!!
Even though this video was broadcast a year ago, I really like watching it. The village atmosphere and Eli's ability to create story scenarios make this video always beautiful to enjoy. Great job Eli, you are amazing!
This video was Awesome !!!
Thank you and your Father for letting us all inside your home ¡!!!!
I used to look at things differently but came to a realization that around the world ,, we are all basically the same ,,, no matter what our governments do or say ,,, it's hard to dislike anyone once you spend some time with them !!!
Thank You so much for this , and All of your videos !!!!!

Eli, thank you for staying sane, and continuing your videos. Love from Canada ❤️
Hi Eli...I grew up in a small mid-west American town surrounded by countryside where my aunt & uncle had a large farm. (I am 70 now and this was during the 'Cold War') But as a young boy hearing about the vastness of Russia and your cold winters, I couldn't help wondering how could life there be so different when we too were surrounded by vast countryside with many farms and experienced winters with big snows?
And I still think there must be a great many things that Russians have in common with mid-western Americans. For instance: Love of country (not patriotism per se, but the surrounding earth where one grows up). Also, Love of family. Love of life, church, food, tradition, music, culture. Would not these loves unite us if we were to meet?
Russian urban culture too must be preserved!!! It has produced unrivaled dance companies such as the Bolshoi, and gave us the modern theatre led by Checkhov & Staislavski. Russia gave us artists such as Rublev, Shishkin & Chagall, musicians as Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninoff, towering writers like Tolstoy, Pushkin and hundreds more genius' in each category. The exquisite, inimitable architecture of St. Basil's and thousands of Russian Orthodox churches!
You Eli, prove that there is no better education than travel! With your open mind, acceptance of others and appreciation of different cultures, this is the hallmark of a true "student of life". I’m sure you value your travels. May you have many more beautiful ones in the future and surely you will because you bring a beautiful mind.
Dear SIR, from the Netherlands retaired 67 years young what a beautiful thinking and certainly the very very right words i agry completly as you put it , its a wonderfull personelety and it seems to me an open mind so much to give.
Wow! You have already know a much more about Russian soul and culture than a new tik-tok generation. Best wishes from South of Russia)
Thank you for your videos! I am from Wyoming (USA) and my grandmother was Russian. I know many Russian people and I have only respect for most of them. Every Russian I have met has been very friendly and generous. Keep on with your great videos!
@@user-bs8vp7je8n you're welcome!
Ditto on Wyoming 👍
Love you Russia 🇷🇺 but Stay safe from dagestanis, they are monsters,

Thank you Eli.

Here, here!! Yes, God bless all Russians. I worked and lived in Russia in the 1990s and early 2000s. Still keep in touch with friends and relatives. Blessings to them all.

@Richard Schiffman thank you, friend! where did you end up visiting in russia if you don’t mind me asking?? :)
Farmers are the same the world over! "Not so profitable but you can make a living!" Seriously though, farming has its issues all across the world (large or small) with the uncertainty of weather and market prices. He's right about the paperwork being the hardest thing. When you were brought up to look after animals, pushing a pen around isn't easy.
I also have every sympathy with your dad, just wanting to keep his traditional life in a fast moving "modern" world.
Thanks for the videos Eli. You're doing just fine.
Eli, you are doing a TREMENDOUSLY GREAT JOB and this is exactly what we need right now! People like you help the world to become a better place. And help humans to become humane.❤ Many Greetings from a Greek girl living between France and Iceland!
Eli, respect from an old retired Irishman living in SE Asia. I always enjoy your video…. for at least the past couple of years. Your story telling (that’s what it is..) is wonderful. Even though I love the warmer climates of SE Asia, your videos make me seriously want to visit the Russian Federation.. such diversity 🇮🇪💚🇷🇺
Thank you Eli. Greetings and blessings to you and yours from U.S.A. Please tell your ppl that we here too stand in solidarity with the ppl of Russian and Ukraine who are all victims of the circumstances. Ephesians 6:12 tells us…” For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. May God be with you all.
Beautiful true words
👏👏👏
I appreciate your sentiments at the beginning. I am a U.S. citizen who taught English in Korea around the time my country invaded Iraq. This move by my government was particularly unpopular in S. Korea as they had the third highest troop levels in Iraq at the time. Somebody yelled at me in a public place... The irony was that I probably would've agreed with their critique of U.S. foreign policy had they given me a chance to speak.
Eli, your videos cheer me up. Please continue to make them.
Peace.
Fellow American here. Isn't it amazing watching people wag their fingers at Russia for the horrific crime of invading another country, after the US invaded Iraq in 2003 on a completely phony pretext? And how many civilian casualties did we cause in that war? Hundreds of thousands? Either people have forgotten about this already, or for whatever reason, they think it's somehow OK when we do it.
And of course, Iraq isn't the only place where we've caused death, destruction and misery. We've left other trails of destruction in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, we orchestrated the overthrow of the government in Egypt that made a mess out of that country, we're bombing Somalia, and we're helping Saudi Arabia bomb the snot out of Yemen. And for what? At least I can understand why the Russians would invade Ukraine. They don't want a military alliance hostile to them parking troops and missiles just over their border any more than we would like it if Mexico or Canada formed a military alliance against us with China and then stationed Chinese missiles just across our border. In fact, we didn't like it one bit when the Soviets tried to put ballistic missiles in Cuba. We were even ready to go to nuclear war to stop them!
I'm so sad about your dad. Deep peace to him and my condolences, sweetheart. ❤❤❤ Your tribute video was heart-rending. He will never die, as long as you live..
Keep moving Eli. How wonderful would it be to be home with dad/mom ❤. You have a nice snowy house.
PLEASE keep your channel going, Eli. It is always so fascinating and uplifting for me, and obviously for many other viewers. I know it also must be a labor of love for you! We can see it in your voice, your facial expressions and your body language. Finally, I am praying for the people of both Ukraine and Russia, as I know so many others are doing.
More things are wrought by prayer, than this world dreams of…✝️
Hi Eli, we will continue to support you, please ignore individuals that attempt to take their anger, frustration and confusion out on you.
Eli, I strongly support what you are doing ... keep educating people about the beauty of Russia and the Russian people. Well done young lady!!
I very much appreciate your beauty, charm, and intelligence. The Russian people are great!
Thank you for these videos Eli! Stay strong, you don't have to apologize. Russia will always be a beauty no matter what. Cheers from Greece 🇬🇷
Please stop Russian people killing innocent women and children in Ukraine...you need to change your principles and to stop the russian army firing at women and children. The russians need to stand up and stop the war. Otherwise i will get in my car and drive to ukraine as a woman to also stand up against the russian war
@@traceymarshall5886 Shut up
@@ElberethOhGilthoniel you like to tell women to shut up? This is acceptable behaviour in your country? We can see why russian men find it acceptable to murder women and children in another country. You mean the russian war in which russian men kill women and children in ukraine??? In which country do you live which supports the killing of women and children in another country which russia has invaded??? From the people of Ireland - a neutral non NATO country we stand with Ukraine and the Irish people will never ever support Russia in anyway in the future. Russian murder acts are unforgiveable and the 195 plus countries in the world agree what Russia is doing is dispicible acts of violence on innocent people living in their neutral non NATO country just like ireland. Which countries is Russia going to invade next? And then what? What will Russia achieve with 195 countries against them???

Hi! I am from the US and I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing and teaching everyone about the Russian culture. I took a Russian language course in college, but since the conflict I've been trying to learn the language again. Instead of being angry, I've been trying to learn more about who Russians are as people and about their culture which is how I found you! I believe most Russians want peace and it's not fair that civilians are suffering. I hope you are well and safe!
Hi Kristen
I'm Ken from Oregon.
Thank you. She isn't the only one that needs your voice! We all do.☮❤🙏☮
What peace Kristen for the gods sake?? Russia had to stop the genocide going on in Ukraine against pro-Russian sentiment. The time Ukrops used to shell their people living in East is over. Russia wasn't provided security guarantees..so it had to happen. US has no moral ground to lecture someone on invasion and human rights record.

Thanks for staying positive Eli-sensei. You do more to promote peace than most of our politicians.
Those Russians who go out and protest despite the risk to themselves are the ones who do most to promote peace.
We also need people to stay and promote peace after every one else is shut down. Not everyone is a hero, and the ones who judge seldom would be heroic themselves.
I find your life style and custom fascinating. I took Russian as another language. I have wanted to go there ever since. You are a great link to that dream. Stay safe
Eli, your videos are fantastic and addictive. You are so good at this and an amazing young woman. I was amazed at all the places you have been to and your experiences. If all people were like you, there would be no conflicts.......Peace and Love from America Eli.....
Keep posting, Eli! We all need to know Russia better, regardless of politics.
I'd love to watch some 'We didn't eat for 4 days' kind of videos. I'll definitely subscribe then
Wouldn’t use the term politics, as that doesn’t describe the human suffering and implies equivalent points of view.
Still, I’m from the US and many of our past actions have been wrong and harmful too. Too much history is inflicted horrors and blood.
Humanity adds to the good however. I think that’s what you’re trying to do. Hope for a better world ahead.

Even with this invasion of Ukraine by your government, I still admire Russian people for its culture and sacrifice during WWII. As usual, there're wounds to heal, and they'll heal in time. In the meantime, please stay safe and keep doing what you're doing so well. Cheers.

Well said Eli. People have to live somewhere. And wherever that may be, will certainly involve some politcal actions that we do not agree with. There is not a country on the planet that can yap about being morally superior. I'm a retired American living in Europe. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thanks to you, I do not have to actually go anywhere... you do the heavy lifting for me. Nice work. Keep it up!
We all love our cultures. Typically politics create the issues. Anyhow, it must be nice to back in the rural areas with your father. The great thing is this channel are about people and their lives. True values about taking pride in lifestyle and caring for family. Always a beautiful perspective from you. Take care ;);)
I've been watching your channel for over a month. I'm thankful I was led to it. I'm a 77-year-old man living in the State of Illinois in the USA. I have four children and 7 grandchildren. Three years ago my youngest daughter left us for eternity. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to have to lose a child. But before my daughter left, she gave me my only granddaughter. (6 grandsons, 1 granddaughter) She's the youngest. She is the apple of my eye. She's also a ginger, as you are. When I see you, with your beautiful red hair and endearing smile, I pray that my little Red Head will be as charming, loving, and joyful as you are. You are an inspiration, even to an old geezer like me. Keep up the wonderful work. You are making a difference in this world by spreading your cheer. I pray that you understand this and your strength never fails.
How could anyone not love her?
I'm so sorry for your loss :( sending thoughts and prayers from the UK 👍😊
My condolences to you! This made my eyes wet. But your words were so beautiful. And yes, Eli is gorgeous.
How do you know you are the father? Was there a dna test???
WELL DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION. SO HEART WARMING AND DELIGHTFUL.

I, too, have learned so much about Russia from watching Eli's videos, and also from her gentle spirit and happy soul. When Putin started his invasion of Ukraine, Eli was the first person I thought of. Eli, you are Russia in my mind. No matter what some crazy person says or does in the name of Russia, you are the good side of Russia. and you always will be. Keep the videos coming.

Ask the author if she supports Putin and Russia's aggression against Ukraine ...
Almost all nice Russians simply support.
Canadians are so severely brainwashed by their government and by the CBC that they believe that Russians and everything Russian is bad, and when they somehow by some accident they get exposed to a Russian they can’t believe the Russians are actually nice people.
If course I don't support thus aggression!!!! But these young people have been so thoroughly brainwashed that they don't know truth from fiction and lies!
Aww, grandma gets off the internet. The typical hypocritical mindset that the west offers better culture and life lol
I feel bad for Russians dealing with the effects of Putin. I feel horrible for Ukraine. If Putin would stop then it would be a beautiful show of peace for our world. My heart breaks for the ordinary people.

Eli
So much love and respect for you. Stay strong. Much love from the USA.
your nation is responsible in that crisis and the death and suffering in ukraine is your country's burden too.
Much love from GA, USA ❤️
@@jeca3865 yea, sadly you’re right..
Do you know why Putin decided to attack those ultra nationalists, neonazis Azov Ukrainian army? Do you know who trained and funded those neonazis? Do you know who organised the coup in Ukraine in 2014?
It is all here in TH-cam. Watch it before you troll.

I’m sure I know more about it than you do. You obviously are not a combat vet so stay in your corner there keyboard commando.
Eli thank you so much for keep doing what you do! In the world where Shostakovich and Dostoevsky are prohibited because of the politics we should remember and learn even more abt unique culture, people, traditions 🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️
Where are they prohibited ???
@@rosedudesert4389 the lectures abt Dostoevsky in Milan university, and Shostakovich symphonies in the philharmonic hall in Check Republic
@@feelrussian I didn't know that, thank You! But why??
@@migrationsforschermitbreit6744 “why” is the most important question…. To involve people and culture into the politics… lucky Dostoevsky who couldn’t know abt this…😬
@@migrationsforschermitbreit6744 This is not true! A request of suspending the lectures about Dostoevsky at the University of Milan has been done, but fortunately it has been rejected. Culture is culture. It is independent of politics and the lectures will take place. It would be a shame for the University!
I' m from India, this is the first video of yourself, very honest, simple, straight forward, great country Russia, i have watched and fell in love with Russia by watching Vlog Bald and Bankrupt, lots of videos👍
I live in small village in usa. It is cold right now, but was in 40s last week. Love your visit with your dad, my dad's been gone for years, treasure that time.
I'm very happy you are willing and able to keep posting videos! Your positivity and compassion is obvious and you help make the world a better place.
Hello Eli from Canada, second generation Ukrainian. Don't be disheartened by the negative views of certain people. They harbor these views because the light is not in them.
Your traditions, culture, are amazing as in the Ukraine , it is too bad certain groups want to divide us and make hatred instead of love. I have studied for a very long time why we have this all over our world. For me I chose to follow GOD and be a light to this world.
LOVE your shows , truly great content.
I hope when peace prevails and it surely will, Ukranians and Russians come together to rebuild the friendships and similar Slavic traditions that have been broken. Europe and the rest of the world needs this.
@@stevenlicastri2950 All of us who value human life and freewill hope for this.
Eli.. If I could talk to you as my sister, I would say that you are very exposed and I would advise that someone you trust goes through incoming "traffic " and filters out nasty comments into a separate folder, or trash.
You do good, which shows me that your heart is good.
Today's mad world needs people like you.
God Bless ...
Village life seems pretty sweet! Another fabulous production! Love your heart! Greetings from US❤
Re. Your opening. Thank you. Your videos along with others that also travel around different countries, have opened up my mind that, the vast majority of people are kind. We have different ways of expressing it, but it’s kindness and love nonetheless. Keep doing what you do ❤️ from the US. 🇺🇦

You need a show Eli, your videos are very professional and people get to learn more about different cultures. Keep it up and don’t listen to the trolls. ♥️♥️♥️ I love your videos
Eli, just continue making your informative, interesting and fun videos. During our long history, there have always been certain types of humans who have and continue to, disrupt peace for war.
Your videos have absolutely nothing to do with yet another war. People who are nasty to you, are evidently confused, naive and have lots to learn about life.
Happy and safe travels and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Gail, Czech Republic ❤️. One very happy subscriber ❤
Thank you for this beautiful video of you and your father at the village. You always make your videos so happy and fun to watch! Keep up the good work always.
Very well said Elli. A simple life is a gift from heaven. Many won't understand what happiness means because they forget appreciating the things they have nor the people around them. I found your village a quiet and relaxing place to live and that is call happiness for me. Just continue showing to the whole world how beautiful your country is.
Totally unnecessary monologue to start a very beautiful life. Keep your thoughts and ideas of other people to yourself. I love your program Not your Unwarranted lecture.
Bravo Eli! Thank you for bringing me the beauty of Russia and the Russian people. I appreciate you more than you know. Keep staying brave and safe. God bless
I’m not sure what is wrong with those people, but for me, I watching your videos. You’ve taught me a ton and helped me get rid of negative stereotypes. I love seeing actual normal people living life. Please don’t stop making videos and when you finally finish exploring all of Russia, come to the southern u.s.!
Your videos are wonderfully refreshing and authentic. You're a treasure. Obviously dad wasn't too sure about being filmed. 😂. I'm living in Sydney but I grew up on a farm in Central Victoria. There the climate is the opposite to cold. 18°C to 45°C Summer while during Winter, maybe, the temp would be as low as 2°C to 16°C in range. It only snowed twice in my life, that I remember. Growing up on the farm is hard work but rewarding for the soul. Our homestead had a wood stove that heated the water, which was stored in above and below ground rainwater tanks. We grew wheat and barley and oats and several thousand sheep. We had two cows. It was my job to milk them when I was old enough to sit on a stool. Cows are friendly animals and quite inquisitive too. I used to love feeding the calf, after it was separated from their mum before sold at the market. They would follow you whenever you went. Anyhow, любовь и свет ❤️
Without Content Creators like you Eli, the real view of the world would still not be well known. A one sided viewpoint is never helpful, so keep up the great work. But more importantly, stay safe in these terrible and dangerous times. Thoughts and prayers with you from the UK.
Please stop Russian people killing innocent women and children in Ukraine...you need to change your principles and to stop the russian army firing at women and children. The russians need to stand up and stop the war. Otherwise i will get in my car and drive to ukraine as a woman to also stand up against the russian war
@@traceymarshall5886 ask USA to stop NATO target against Russia.
@@thirumalaikumarduraipandia6053 i dont live in the USA. I dont live in a country with NATO. Countries without NATO are still against russia and those men who shoot and kill innocent women and children. WOMEN IN MY COUNTRY WE MIGHT NOT HAVE NATO BUT WE WILL STAND AGAINST RUSSIAN MEN WHO SHOOT WOMEN AND CHILDREN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
@@thirumalaikumarduraipandia6053 there is no threat. Nobody is going to attack a nuclear state. The ‘security concerns’ is a lie used to try and justify this and restrict liberties. Putin is a tyrant and the world will not be safe as long as he’s there. Only the Russian people can stop this. Everyone has to pick a side
@@thirumalaikumarduraipandia6053 You are as blind as the older Russians! If Russia does not want NATO to approach, then why is Russia approaching NATO by invading Ukraine?
I'm with you Eli and the Russian and Ukrainian people. As always It's the politicians and their egos which create these unpleasant situations. Please continue with your videos as I love what you do. Take care. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing these beautiful videos that you make. I wish you the best.
