Thank you for elaborately explaining how people manage to live in Russia and Siberia during winter. It is more educative as well as informative. God bless Russia.
First time stumbling across your channel. 1. This video makes me thankful for my gas furnace. 2. Your English is fantastic. I love learning/seeing how other people and cultures survive and thrive!
I've seen a video abt. the Russian educ. system & I was really surprised. For sure, US students won't be able to compete with them. They're really knowledgeable abt. America & knows our history very well (it goes without saying that they know their own too). They also put a big emphasis in the English language, esp. in college.
I am from Bulgaria, sir and thank you so much for making this video and sharing it with us! This video reminds me for my childhood living with grandparents. I remember when my grandfather used to make fire and there was that first smell of fire in 6am, because everyone wakes up at 7am. The cousy moments during the Winter. And 15-20 years ago, we had colder Winters with much more snow than nowdays and now this video took me back in memories.
We live at present in Alberta, Canada. Same story as in Siberia. It is cold for 5 - 6 months AND dark early. As a child in central Europe, it was MY job to keep the fires going. It was done in exactly the way you showed us, Sir. The ashes had to be cleaned out daily. What a job it was! I can still do it in my sleep although I have not had to do it for decades. Thank you for the excellent video.
At university my lecturers (who did geological research in Siberia, Iceland and Greenland to name a few) had a saying: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes."
I live in the desert where the cold is a foreign concept. Thank you for your concise explanation. I doubt I will travel that far to Russia, but it’s good to see how you guys cope with winter.
I'm from the northeastern US and spent a year living in Siberia (Krasnoyarsk). The winter was truly magical. (I guess the knowledge that I only had to go through it once was part of what made it so great. :) )
I was telling a friend the other day that if I visit Russia, I want to go in the winter, and they thought I was crazy, but it snows and gets cold in Denver (where I live), so it's not like I couldn't handle Moscow at New Years, and Russia is famous for its winters; why not go then? Besides, they have those beautiful holiday lights on Arbat Street, and like you said, it's just for a short time.
@@sobrcelt Denver isn’t as cold for as long as WI, MN, or ND is. You guys are skiing in winter with no jackets on half the time. I have relatives there. Your spring starts way earlier than these other states do.
I moved from Minnesota to Washington state and i can say that sitting by a fireplace when its -50 is so much more soothing than sitting by one at +35. If you’ve never been truly cold its hard to appreciate being warm
Nice video and informative. Hope Russia and America’s relationship gets better with more interactions and open internet’s like this. Beware thou Coal fumes are dangerous and deadly. Great you let us in on your life style in Siberia and how you prepared for the winters. May you be safe and vigilant always. Thanks from New England USA !!!
Very nice presentation. I wondered where you learned such clear enunciation of English such that you have so little Russian accent. Yes, very well done.
my son lived in Russia for a year in university there. he asked how they learned English so well, simple many of them listened to the BBC broadcasts to get reliable and truthful news, both the Russian state radio and the VOA were full of propaganda, the BBC was honest.
@@mikeoglen6848 Yes, that was before Mr Cates, rather sneakily, started "making" them "donations"! That's why so many believe people like Johnson & Co...
Perfect presentation with the utmost clarity in your language. You make us feel familiar with a foreign land. Great work done by you. Loved your skill and loved your place as well. Hope to see much more about Russia.
@@oviedelta2602 true words! I’m originally from the islands, hot and humid normal days 103 degrees nothing compared to the Middle East though. Hot weather makes me irritable. So yes I too respect anyone who can function in both weathers.
Wanna say “ Thank you my Russian brother, was the most informative, well spoken, and pleasant video. From Russia 🇷🇺 that I have seen. If I do get the chance to go to your beautiful country, I will take all of your advice. “ again thank you.
Are you saying unless you get up at 2 am you don’t work hard? Or are not a man ? Or only a man works? Hard? Stupid saying. His father was admirable but guess what I bet given the opportunity he would have chosen to not get up at 2am and lived an easier life.
I don't know why, but I sometimes wish I could live in such a severely cold place using those kind of heating systems. Maybe it reminds me of old Grandmothers' lifestyles that makes me feel comfortale.
@@tabc6870 I agree, I grew up in the North West Siberia, and even the "central" Russia (geographically Western) is too hot for me: all sorts of everything dangerous, unpleasant and tiresome - pollen, allergens, insects, dust, sweat, dirt, viruses, parasites & vermins, etc.
When I was a child growing up on a ranch I the high country in the USA, we used coal to heat the house. We had a coal stove in the kitchen and a coal furnace in the living room with the exhaust pipe running across the ceiling to give off more heat. The bedrooms were not heated, but you would put a heated rock in the bottom of the bed to warm the bed. We only had an outside outhouse and it got extremely cold when the temperatures are below zero. I remember as a child having to go the bathroom in the middle of the night in the winter and I could hear the wolves howling outside. I just laid there until morning. Now everything is modern.
At my grandparents house in Mexico, we would use a chamber pot at night. We didn't have a toilet either. Were chamber pots not a thing in the high country? You have to be careful of not hitting the bed frame as you pull it out otherwise you may as well ring the church bell and let everyone know what you are doing.
So glad I found your channel! Very informative. Many of my ancestors are from northern Finland and I love learning about how people live in the cold northern regions. Sauna is a big part of Finnish life, too.
First of all, you speak English better than most of my friends. Second, you guys are very resourceful, a skill long lost by many, many of my countrymen. Great video, tovarich.
@@marliesyanke4580 I wonder is the word tovarich only used during the Communist era and not used much now in Russia? I think it means comrade in Russian. Would it have the same connotations as someone addressing another person as comrade, marking one out as a Socialist or Communist?
Wonderful vid! We need to see more like this since we in the states tend to think of the awful days of neglect during the Cold War, and political prisoners being banished to Siberia! Actually, since I spent three winters in Minnesota, I see a lot of similarities! We plugged our cars in at night, to a little electric recirculating unit, mounted to the engine!
Re: the importance of cleaning roofs: one of the most important nearly-unknown tools (even in the US) is a roof rake! It has a couple of small rollers on the bottom of the business end, so you can toss it up the roof without damaging the roof.
Thank you for sharing. I grew up in northern Ontario so I understand how cold it can get. We heated our house with a wood burning furnace for many years. My Dad would get up in the night to put more wood it. Our cars have block heaters so we could plug them into an electric outlet when it was really cold. Then the cars would start in the morning. It is interesting to learn how other people live in different areas. Thank you
It definitely is interesting learning how other cultures live. Even learning about how northern Canadians (I'm from NE Pennsylvania) contend with long, difficult winters has taught me how to plan for our shorter, mostly less intense winter weather. This young man showed how things really aren't terribly different in his country. We do what we must (within reason) to survive.
Other people? In 1993, I said: "In Russia, preschool children should not bring money for their parents" and for these words they call me feeble-minded and I still do not have my own real estate.
Yep. I grew up in Fraser, CO, and we also used a wood-burning stove and block heaters. Coldest night I personally experienced was Christmas Eve, 1984. It got down to -60 F, and it caused the pilot light in our furnace to go out. It got so cold throughout the night that every time I shifted in my sleep, the cold from the part of the bed I hadn't been occupying at that point woke me up!
Where I live (Canada 🇨🇦 ) winter starts in November ( officially Dec 21) and goes till March as well. We have temps from -10 to -40°c My point is you don’t need to go to Siberia to freeze your ass off. Just come to Ontario in January.
I remember -20°C feeling like a nice spring day in Thompson, Manitoba. Coming from South Africa with 45 °C weather landing in Winnipeg with -30 °C weather was a big shock in December 1999. After a few months even in -20°C weather I could BBQ outside...crazy times.😁
Native Texan here, spent 90% of my life in Houston, lived 3 years in Chicago, (mostly to experience snow! Newsflash: it's gorgeous but cold and gets dirty very quickly.) -20F (-29C) was the coldest I saw; that about maxed out my layers, even with puffy coat. (I was ok, but any colder and breathing was hard.) Good luck to you. ❤
@@ellenmarch3095 , hi from Irkutsk, Russia. it is funny, but one year, we had about -69 (c). but my mum still made me to go to school and that was shit. i though that i was going to freeze with my friend, and I was only 10, in a small jacket and without hat. but i made it btw, but my friend was crying while we walked, and by the end of the road, her tears just frickin froze, and im not even kidding lol.
This brings back such memories. My grandfather immigrated to the US in the early 20s and he had that same exact coal burning furnace in his cellar. He taught me how to build the fires during the winters. Great vid. Love from the USA 🇺🇸
I remember my elementary school in Texas was heated by steam in radiators that were in every room. When I reached the 4 th grade, we kids were treated to a field trip to the boiler room in the basement of the school. There was a coal burning 🔥 furnace that heated the water to steam that went through the pipe radiators to warm the classrooms. And there was the furnace man with the black lines in his palms! Several years later, coal was replaced by gas that burners in the furnace then heated the water to steam. But no one noticed the change because the steam still caused the radiators to hiss and gurgle!
I've seen about 5 videos from young people in Russia lately, and I'm really impressed. They seem so based, and down to Earth, polite, well rounded. Exactly the opposite you see in the West. Perhaps they are more isolated from Hollywood and that has to help. But I also think their culture has a lot to do with it.
The young women are very nice and modest, too. Unless they're from Moscow. Or emigres living in NYC in the United States. Those females are very canny and worldly.
I have always wondered how on earth you guys keep warm in a Siberian winter and how you manage your lives. Here, in the UK, life grinds to a standstill if we have snow flurries and ice on the roads and everyone moans and groans if temps hit -6c ! Compared with you guys we are totally 100% useless in winter - so hats off to you all 🥶 👏 I loved your video too - so informative and well presented. X
I spent July, 2011 in Tyumen, Syberia and wondered how the stray dogs in town survivied. My Russian friend said that Russian dogs are very smart. They took refuge in the subways and other warmer areas. They also learned to cross the roads in the cross walks when the pedestrians crossed.
1975 Kansas City MO. "Frank" the dog is born. Frank was a dog that at first glance people thought, "Frank will never stop growing. And the bigger he gets the greater threat he will become to himself and others." Long story short, Frank learned to navigate to streets of KC, cross town 20+ Blocks safely. It was extraordinary to witness. God was extremely good to Frank, and Frank was an inspiration to all of us. Especially those of us who were hit by cars crossing town. Frank never laughed or ridiculed us. The end.
What a sad thing. Humans have options, they can get assistance, they can get a job, they can ask for help. Animals have none of these options. They depend on us being humane.
Thank you for sharing this informative video. I’m from Trinidad 🇹🇹, in the West Indies/Caribbean and love to learn about life in Russia. Maybe someday I’ll get the chance to visit. 🙏🏻💖
It gets COLD in Eastern Canada. We used electric battery blankets for our cars ... to make sure they start in the morning. Great video showing people how cold cold places can be!
When I was little, we lived on a farm and had a very old house with poor insulation. Wisconsin winters can be brutal. When we went to bed my mom would tuck us in with a bunch of blankets and threw a feather bed on top. That is what saved us. In the morning there was a layer of ice on top of our water glass on end table.
Good Video learning how to survive in extreme cold. In the States some people very few still use wood to cook and heat their home. It's always good to have backup heat. I like the idea as coal and wood working together.
You're good at this. Great opening shot of you, black and white all around and you in bright colors. You're animated, and interesting to listen to. A solid, compelling personality for these videos. Keep it up, and stay warm. 👍❄
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, you’re very well spoken and very interesting to listen to. I like learning about different cultures, knowledge opens your mind to so many new things.
It was hilarious when I traveled to Hong Kong in January 2010. The temperature there has gone down to 0C like once during the last 120yrs or something. Even in the nighttime it was around +10-15C and the locals were wearing winter jackets, down vests, scarves, gloves, Uggs, the whole 9 yards. And what did I and the rest of the Finns wear? T-shirts and shorts or clamdiggers no matter what time of the day it was, because it was so warm! 😄 It was a rude awakening landing in Helsinki after the trip, to a crisp -25C weather with a brisk wind. 🥶
Well, we acclimate to wherever we live, and then we acclimate further to the seasons within that region. I live in a moderate-moderately cool climate, so I can handle cold weather better than my cousins in Los Angeles (because they whine every time they visit in the winter), but the first week of cooler weather here after a hot summer makes me whine, too. By January, I'm a polar bear. Then I think I'm gong to die of heatstroke the first hot week in June. By August, I'm a lizard.
Oh, I would love to see more of life in winter Siberia! Like, how do people keep animals, and how do you get the snow off the roof? Do you do anything fun, or play any games in the snow? In Sweden, we can install a 'motor heater' for the car, that starts warming up the engine on a timer. We also have 'coupé warmers'; small space heating fans, that can be timed to heat up the interior of your car, so it's nice and warm when you need it. This also takes care of icey windows. So no scraping needed in the morning. We also love our saunas.
In Canada cars have block heaters, just plug them in and the engine stays warm enough to start, usually 🤣🤣 Newcomers always wonder why every car has an electrical plug hanging out of the front!!
In Russia we have that things too, but they are not so widely circulated. Mostly it been used by people, who work on their car and dont have a garage (like taxi or truck drivers and etc)
I would have liked to hear more Russian words in this video but thank you anyway. I hope to move to Siberia in a few years and I expect the house I buy up in the hills will have a печь
Pennsylvanians still use it. Once you have experienced wood and coal heat, if your situation allows it you don't want to be without. It's so different than oil, gas, electric and it works without electricity. If you are relying on utilities to stay warm 100% your not doing your job as a provider for your family. Got to have a back up plan when there is a disruption of services. You will be a hero in a bad situation with a little bit of planning.
@@markw2266 I don't focus on prepping for failed utilities (which is rare and we can go somewhere for a week). I focus on saving $400,000 for college for each child (2) for college / grad school. Now that's a proper provider.
@@markw2266 I agree with you mark. Here in SW Pennsylvania ,I have Oil Fired Hot water boiler with cast iron radiators, Electric baseboards (backup) Electric oil-filled radiators (back-up) an old propane gas cook stove and oven and finally a Vogelsang Box-wood stove just in case. I'm 56 (Gen X one) and lived through the massive snow storms and weeks long power outages of the 1970's. Oh and I have a Great Grandfather and Grandfather buried 10 miles from me in the Russian Cemetery. It's in the "genes"
I've spent my entire life living in Winnipeg ,Canada, our winters are exceptionally similar,we sometimes go through bouts of cold where the temperature never goes above -20 celsius and goes as low as -40/-45 celsius for weeks on end.
Yep. You guys are resilient in a way that is impressive to some of us. I can handle a few days of that bitter cold, but weeks on end? Nope. Not for me.
It's wild living somewhere where the winters can get to below -40⁰C with the wind and the summers can get around +40⁰C with the humidity, eh? Our winters aren't too too bad, even at -40, as long as it's a dry cold lol.
Very interesting tour. I really enjoy these types of videos. This is all very similar to the systems we use here in Alaska where I live. Last winter I forgot to plug my car’s engine block heater in, and the next morning I had to walk 45 minutes to work in -20….I had ice in my beard by the time I clocked in to work haha. Now I keep car plugged in and I auto start it each night before I go to bed and let it run for 20 minutes. It is the only thing that works, even though it is wasting fuel. I also hope to get a small wood burning stove because the natural gas for the furnace is so expensive. One month, when it was particularly cold, I spent almost $12 per day on natural gas (my house is 1,000 sq feet). Thanks again for the informative video!
12 usd a day for 93 square meters???? How much does the gas cost in Alaska? Omg, that's a lot. I understand, that American salaries are much higher but still, 12 dollars a day...it must have been very cold winter.
My gas’s bill in dead of winter is about $300 but only in the worst cold month(s) I live in the Midwest USA in a very old 100 yo house but my furnace is new a year ago. Hi efficiency … it has helped but bills are still high. Very cold winters sometimes; sometimes they are milder
I can definitely relate to this! I'm from North Dakota, and it also gets down to -40° for most of the winter, probably November to February. It's even -40° in the daytime sometimes, especially with the wind chill. Nobody here has coal or wood furnaces, but we do have gas and water powered heating systems. Water is common in older apartments like mine, and gas is in almost every other building. I got my first car in January, and it wouldn't start because of the battery, and my dad and I had to change it in the windy cold. Remote car starters are an absolute necessity, as you showed us! Otherwise your car will get warm just as your arrive to your destination. Layering up clothing is very familiar, as well as shoveling snow out of the driveway and off the sidewalk of our house. My sibling and I would always fight over who gets the easy part and who gets which shovel. Waiting a long time for the water in the shower and sink to get hot is also very common for us. Thanks for sharing!
Wow very interesting! I’m from Nova Scotia in Canada and it generally stays around 32 f or 0 c most of the winter. February is the coldest and can drop to -15 or even -20 for a few days.
When I was growing up I said to complain about the warm weather. Now that I am older I realize the weather in my country is paradise. It is summer pretty much all year round, but its no 40 degrees Celsius or more. It it always 28 to 30 degrees. I used to dream of seeing the snow for the first time. I haven't seen it still, but I don't dream about it. I am happy to see it on video like this. Fyodor, you are the best. You are wonderful Russian teacher and you are excellent at teaching us wonderful, interesting things.
I believe Buffalo and the Upstate NY area gets lots of snow because of the moisture from the Great Lakes. But the average temps in Dec/Jan/Feb don't even get close to 0 F.
I love how me and you are the opposites, you live in freezing cold and i'm on the other side of the world living in scorching hot Australian Outback :P ...Loved ya video too mate awesome work, might make one myself showing the world how we stay cool and how to survive droughts
But windy tunnels of icy air so powerful you think they are going to blow you away as you hustle down the streets. A winter day in Chicago will make it very apparent why its nickname is "The Windy City." Oh yikes that wind is cold!
Wow my first time to come upon your channel. Interesting to know these facts. I have little knowledge about Russia in general ( well of course except what was fed by media during the cold war) But with the advent of internet, it has truly opened a new world we haven't seen before. I found your literature and history fascinating. New subscriber here😊
When I lived in Minnesota in the 1980s, where winter temps frequently dipped below -20° F, everyone relied on block heaters to keep auto engines warm enough to start in the mornings. It was a simple plug, inserted into a hole in the engine block (I had a Ford Fairmont), with a plug end that dangled in front of the grill. You just plugged it into a power cord from the house, and a charge continually trickled into the engine block and kept the oil viscous enough to start on the coldest mornings. Other block heaters worked by connecting to the coolant system to generate heat in the engine. I doubt much has changed, except climate change.
Hi... I am from dozens of thousands islands of Indonesia. We never experience minus temperature whole year. Most people here never touch the snow in their life . Still, I can't imagine living in Moskwa's winter moreover in Siberia
I used to live in the Colorado Mountains. A running joke with all of us ski resorts workers when it came to cold or cold related things would be “Siberian” for example “I forgot my jacket so I had to go full Siberian on the walk home from the bar.” or we would call a blizzard “Siberian sunshine”. All this was in good humor though and never a insult. More of a weird compliment.
First time I have come across 1 of your videos. Very interesting, I love to learn about Russia and especially Siberia. Here I am sitting in Melbourne, Australia a week out from summer. I'm on the balcony but my partner is inside with the heater on full when it's about 18 Celsius tonight! Gas is so much easier for you guys!
Greetings from the Canadian prairies. We have the identical kind of winter, if not colder. We use forced air natural gas furnace, and they keep getting smaller and smaller, but they spit out a lot of heat. My furnace now is very energy efficient and has a plastic exhaust pipe that is cool to the touch. So you are also not wasting heat with the exhaust.
The thing with these modern high-efficiency furnaces is they're getting more complicated and computer controlled, with a life expectancy of maybe 10 to 15 years at the most. My furnace which I just replaced was as old as the house (built in 1969), an old gas-fired GE unit that fired up and kept going.
Большое спасибо, Игор, за такое интересное видео! ) Не могли ли бы, в следующий раз, снимать подобное, но не на английском, а на русском (с английскими субтитрами для тех, кому это нужно)? Подумайте, пожалуйста, об учениках среднего уровня. Для нас, русские субтитры являются более полезными, ну… конечно, делайте то, что лучше для вас!

@@crazylittlepartytifs i dont know why he went outside at 2am why not bring enough coal in the house to last all night.
Thank you for doing this. I love to see how other countries live and adapt to different situations. Very informative. Stay warm! ❤️
I don't know why, but I sometimes wish I could live in such a severely cold place using those kind of heating systems. Maybe it reminds me of old Grandmothers' lifestyles that makes me feel comfortale.
Come to Novosibirsk then:)
I live in northern Canada and I love winter. I would hate to live somewhere hot.
@@tabc6870 I agree, I grew up in the North West Siberia, and even the "central" Russia (geographically Western) is too hot for me: all sorts of everything dangerous, unpleasant and tiresome - pollen, allergens, insects, dust, sweat, dirt, viruses, parasites & vermins, etc.
Agree
It is comfortable. It's summer now and I can't wait for a proper blizzard. There's something about clean air...
American here from the state of Illinois..I'd love to take a trip and experience life in Siberia.
When I was a child growing up on a ranch I the high country in the USA, we used coal to heat the house. We had a coal stove in the kitchen and a coal furnace in the living room with the exhaust pipe running across the ceiling to give off more heat. The bedrooms were not heated, but you would put a heated rock in the bottom of the bed to warm the bed. We only had an outside outhouse and it got extremely cold when the temperatures are below zero. I remember as a child having to go the bathroom in the middle of the night in the winter and I could hear the wolves howling outside. I just laid there until morning. Now everything is modern.
At my grandparents house in Mexico, we would use a chamber pot at night. We didn't have a toilet either. Were chamber pots not a thing in the high country? You have to be careful of not hitting the bed frame as you pull it out otherwise you may as well ring the church bell and let everyone know what you are doing.
As someone who live in Russia, heated rock would last an hour through the Russian night at best.
Damn there are some old-ass homies up in dis! What next, recollections of Washington crossing the Delaware?
Wolves?... No wonder you waited till morning. Amazing how similar life was everywhere brfore all the modcons
Dang Mr. Green,
Those howling wolves aint no joke!
I feel for u man...geez..😫
So glad I found your channel! Very informative. Many of my ancestors are from northern Finland and I love learning about how people live in the cold northern regions. Sauna is a big part of Finnish life, too.
First of all, you speak English better than most of my friends. Second, you guys are very resourceful, a skill long lost by many, many of my countrymen. Great video, tovarich.
Must have been approved by Putin.
@@marliesyanke4580 I wonder is the word tovarich only used during the Communist era and not used much now in Russia? I think it means comrade in Russian. Would it have the same connotations as someone addressing another person as comrade, marking one out as a Socialist or Communist?
@@jgdooley2003 this word commonly using now as "companion" or "partner". It's kinda good guy from your work for example, but still not a friend
Wonderful vid! We need to see more like this since we in the states tend to think of the awful days of neglect during the Cold War, and political prisoners being banished to Siberia! Actually, since I spent three winters in Minnesota, I see a lot of similarities! We plugged our cars in at night, to a little electric recirculating unit, mounted to the engine!
Re: the importance of cleaning roofs: one of the most important nearly-unknown tools (even in the US) is a roof rake! It has a couple of small rollers on the bottom of the business end, so you can toss it up the roof without damaging the roof.
Most houses in the US are constructed in a way where you don't need to shovel roofs anymore.
Excellent reporting. English very good. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing. I grew up in northern Ontario so I understand how cold it can get. We heated our house with a wood burning furnace for many years. My Dad would get up in the night to put more wood it. Our cars have block heaters so we could plug them into an electric outlet when it was really cold. Then the cars would start in the morning. It is interesting to learn how other people live in different areas. Thank you
It definitely is interesting learning how other cultures live. Even learning about how northern Canadians (I'm from NE Pennsylvania) contend with long, difficult winters has taught me how to plan for our shorter, mostly less intense winter weather. This young man showed how things really aren't terribly different in his country. We do what we must (within reason) to survive.
Other people? In 1993, I said: "In Russia, preschool children should not bring money for their parents" and for these words they call me feeble-minded and I still do not have my own real estate.
I still heat with wood.
Good story man. Good man your dad.
Ontario isnt as bad a russia....
Yep. I grew up in Fraser, CO, and we also used a wood-burning stove and block heaters. Coldest night I personally experienced was Christmas Eve, 1984. It got down to -60 F, and it caused the pilot light in our furnace to go out. It got so cold throughout the night that every time I shifted in my sleep, the cold from the part of the bed I hadn't been occupying at that point woke me up!
Where I live (Canada 🇨🇦 ) winter starts in November ( officially Dec 21) and goes till March as well. We have temps from -10 to -40°c My point is you don’t need to go to Siberia to freeze your ass off. Just come to Ontario in January.
I hear you King Eris, I live in French River in Northern Ontario about a 45 minute drive South of Sudbury.
You should visit Yakutsk . Ontario would feel “warm” to you .
@@andreyilkevich Right now in French River ( Alban ) it is -5 outside.
I'm in southern alberta and it reaches -40C some winters, but winter could last 6-8 months some years, others it's almost like winter didn't happen.
@@live.travel. South West Florida here , we are officially goes below 70 we have to wear a sweater.
Watching from northern Canada. And yes minus 5 is a perfect day!
I remember -20°C feeling like a nice spring day in Thompson, Manitoba.
Coming from South Africa with 45 °C weather landing in Winnipeg with -30 °C weather was a big shock in December 1999.
After a few months even in -20°C weather I could BBQ outside...crazy times.😁
@@useryggfdcc My brother lives in Alberta and it was the coldest place on the planet a few years back. I asked what he was doing.... BBQ'ing LOL!!!
Native Texan here, spent 90% of my life in Houston, lived 3 years in Chicago, (mostly to experience snow! Newsflash: it's gorgeous but cold and gets dirty very quickly.) -20F (-29C) was the coldest I saw; that about maxed out my layers, even with puffy coat. (I was ok, but any colder and breathing was hard.) Good luck to you. ❤
@@ellenmarch3095 , hi from Irkutsk, Russia. it is funny, but one year, we had about -69 (c). but my mum still made me to go to school and that was shit. i though that i was going to freeze with my friend, and I was only 10, in a small jacket and without hat. but i made it btw, but my friend was crying while we walked, and by the end of the road, her tears just frickin froze, and im not even kidding lol.
Você é muito linda
Please show more of your life!! All I have ever seen about Siberia is cold wilderness and wildlife!!! You did a great job !
And here I am complaining about the winter in western Poland 🤷♀️🥶 😉 A very interesting video, keep them coming 🙂
Gets pretty cold in western Poland doesn't it ?
Love the houses & apartment buildings & architecture! Perfect English too!
This brings back such memories. My grandfather immigrated to the US in the early 20s and he had that same exact coal burning furnace in his cellar. He taught me how to build the fires during the winters. Great vid. Love from the USA 🇺🇸
I remember my elementary school in Texas was heated by steam in radiators that were in every room. When I reached the 4 th grade, we kids were treated to a field trip to the boiler room in the basement of the school. There was a coal burning 🔥 furnace that heated the water to steam that went through the pipe radiators to warm the classrooms. And there was the furnace man with the black lines in his palms! Several years later, coal was replaced by gas that burners in the furnace then heated the water to steam. But no one noticed the change because the steam still caused the radiators to hiss and gurgle!
Ты еще жив? Можешь ответить как американец, мне на пару вопросов?
I admire the hard work and tough times you guys have to go through. There is no way I could live in temperatures like that!!
Great video, I love the winter so this would be for me. Love the looks of Russian homes.
YES I LIKE THIS YOUNG MANS VIDEO AS IT'S NICELY DONE !!!! BLESSINGS AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING 💝🇺🇸
I've seen about 5 videos from young people in Russia lately, and I'm really impressed. They seem so based, and down to Earth, polite, well rounded. Exactly the opposite you see in the West. Perhaps they are more isolated from Hollywood and that has to help. But I also think their culture has a lot to do with it.
The young women are very nice and modest, too. Unless they're from Moscow. Or emigres living in NYC in the United States. Those females are very canny and worldly.
I agree x
Wtf are you talking about lol.
Judging all the young people in any country from 5 videos seems to be a bit naive.
They are not addicted to The internet and TV.
I watched all of this presentation. Thank you. I will remember it. You speak clear English , your narrative is fluid and moves along.
I enjoy everything about your channel
Grammer and Russian culture and everything
I truly adore learning about Russia. I can just sit here for hours and listen. Thank you so much for sharing this. Love from America ❤
I have always wondered how on earth you guys keep warm in a Siberian winter and how you manage your lives. Here, in the UK, life grinds to a standstill if we have snow flurries and ice on the roads and everyone moans and groans if temps hit -6c ! Compared with you guys we are totally 100% useless in winter - so hats off to you all 🥶 👏 I loved your video too - so informative and well presented. X
I've always wondered the same!
Bless your dad for being such a great father and provider. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗
I spent July, 2011 in Tyumen, Syberia and wondered how the stray dogs in town survivied. My Russian friend said that Russian dogs are very smart. They took refuge in the subways and other
warmer areas. They also learned to cross the roads in the cross walks when the pedestrians crossed.
I suspect the dogs adopt people to keep warm. nothing like a warm dog beside you in bed, even better is more than one (mayB a three dog night?)
1975 Kansas City MO.
"Frank" the dog is born. Frank was a dog that at first glance people thought, "Frank will never stop growing. And the bigger he gets the greater threat he will become to himself and others."
Long story short, Frank learned to navigate to streets of KC, cross town 20+ Blocks safely. It was extraordinary to witness. God was extremely good to Frank, and Frank was an inspiration to all of us. Especially those of us who were hit by cars crossing town.
Frank never laughed or ridiculed us.
The end.
What a sad thing. Humans have options, they can get assistance, they can get a job, they can ask for help. Animals have none of these options. They depend on us being humane.

Really cute Siberian! Thank you for showing your life there. Interesting.

Thank you for sharing this informative video. I’m from Trinidad 🇹🇹, in the West Indies/Caribbean and love to learn about life in Russia. Maybe someday I’ll get the chance to visit. 🙏🏻💖
It gets COLD in Eastern Canada. We used electric battery blankets for our cars ... to make sure they start in the morning. Great video showing people how cold cold places can be!
When I was little, we lived on a farm and had a very old house with poor insulation. Wisconsin winters can be brutal. When we went to bed my mom would tuck us in with a bunch of blankets and threw a feather bed on top. That is what saved us. In the morning there was a layer of ice on top of our water glass on end table.
Good Video learning how to survive in extreme cold. In the States some people very few still use wood to cook and heat their home. It's always good to have backup heat. I like the idea as coal and wood working together.
Wonderful video done by you and very nicely explained to all of us. 👏👏👏
I always liked the bed that people made on the back of the Russian stove. Looks cozy and warm.
You're good at this.
Great opening shot of you, black and white all around and you in bright colors.
You're animated, and interesting to listen to. A solid, compelling personality for these videos.
Keep it up, and stay warm. 👍❄

My Australian brain has been blown!
@@triarb5790 as well as Brazilian one, I think
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, you’re very well spoken and very interesting to listen to. I like learning about different cultures, knowledge opens your mind to so many new things.
Take a look at Siberian poets too. There's just one for now. But gonna be more
as southamerican I'm thankful to get to know how yall live in those countries
As an Australian too!
You have your good neighbours up North there. No need to ask Siberians, Canadians know all the secrets how to survive in cold climate.
yes, very interesting!
right back at ya! how do you live in hot and humid climate with bugs and pollen?
Sir, from northern New York, thank you for making this video. Hope your days are filled with friends family and laughter. Rock on
I am here complaining about June/July cold in Kenya, a land lying on the equator where temperatures have never been negative 😳
Ngai I know right.
It was hilarious when I traveled to Hong Kong in January 2010. The temperature there has gone down to 0C like once during the last 120yrs or something. Even in the nighttime it was around +10-15C and the locals were wearing winter jackets, down vests, scarves, gloves, Uggs, the whole 9 yards. And what did I and the rest of the Finns wear? T-shirts and shorts or clamdiggers no matter what time of the day it was, because it was so warm! 😄 It was a rude awakening landing in Helsinki after the trip, to a crisp -25C weather with a brisk wind. 🥶
Well, we acclimate to wherever we live, and then we acclimate further to the seasons within that region. I live in a moderate-moderately cool climate, so I can handle cold weather better than my cousins in Los Angeles (because they whine every time they visit in the winter), but the first week of cooler weather here after a hot summer makes me whine, too. By January, I'm a polar bear. Then I think I'm gong to die of heatstroke the first hot week in June. By August, I'm a lizard.
It's the African way! So glad I was born and still live on the African continent. We get extremely unhappy if the temperature gets below 15C here :-)
@@peterfenwick2540 Yeah, there are pros and cons to having four distinct seasons. Each winter, I wish I lived on the equator. :D
I'm loving that double snow shovel. We have snow shovels here of course (Northeastern US), but I've never seen one like that. Handy!
I was in Barnaul in winter, I was amazed to see the Ob River frozen over! Lovey place, cold but incredibly warm people. [Vodka there is good too].
Yes you are right
I am not Russian but i was born in Barnaul
Oh, I would love to see more of life in winter Siberia!
Like, how do people keep animals, and how do you get the snow off the roof?
Do you do anything fun, or play any games in the snow?
In Sweden, we can install a 'motor heater' for the car, that starts warming up the engine on a timer.
We also have 'coupé warmers'; small space heating fans, that can be timed to heat up the interior of your car, so it's nice and warm when you need it.
This also takes care of icey windows. So no scraping needed in the morning.
We also love our saunas.
In Canada cars have block heaters, just plug them in and the engine stays warm enough to start, usually 🤣🤣 Newcomers always wonder why every car has an electrical plug hanging out of the front!!
Interesting. I didn’t know about this fact. That’s cool 😎
We use those in Sweden as well, esp in the north.
In Russia we have that things too, but they are not so widely circulated. Mostly it been used by people, who work on their car and dont have a garage (like taxi or truck drivers and etc)
I know abt this but what about if u live in an apartement and have to park the car on the street ?
@@amirabelardo8203 they use wires) higher they live longer wires they need)) Highest wire i have seen was from 7th floor
This is very educational, love the way you present what to expect during the winters in Siberia.
I would have liked to hear more Russian words in this video but thank you anyway. I hope to move to Siberia in a few years and I expect the house I buy up in the hills will have a печь
Thanks for sharing. Love the Banya. Tolstoy proud of you all.
I always remember home when I get a smell of burning coal...Pennsylvanians used it too. Gas heat...no work, just flip a switch, amazing!
Pennsylvanians still use it. Once you have experienced wood and coal heat, if your situation allows it you don't want to be without. It's so different than oil, gas, electric and it works without electricity. If you are relying on utilities to stay warm 100% your not doing your job as a provider for your family. Got to have a back up plan when there is a disruption of services.
You will be a hero in a bad situation with a little bit of planning.
@@markw2266 I don't focus on prepping for failed utilities (which is rare and we can go somewhere for a week). I focus on saving $400,000 for college for each child (2) for college / grad school. Now that's a proper provider.
@@markw2266 I agree with you mark. Here in SW Pennsylvania ,I have Oil Fired Hot water boiler with cast iron radiators, Electric baseboards (backup) Electric oil-filled radiators (back-up) an old propane gas cook stove and oven and finally a Vogelsang Box-wood stove just in case. I'm 56 (Gen X one) and lived through the massive snow storms and weeks long power outages of the 1970's. Oh and I have a Great Grandfather and Grandfather buried 10 miles from me in the Russian Cemetery. It's in the "genes"
I've spent my entire life living in Winnipeg ,Canada, our winters are exceptionally similar,we sometimes go through bouts of cold where the temperature never goes above -20 celsius and goes as low as -40/-45 celsius for weeks on end.
Isn't it too much hassle to be constantly battling the elements like that? Don't you wish you could live somewhere warmer?
Yep. You guys are resilient in a way that is impressive to some of us. I can handle a few days of that bitter cold, but weeks on end? Nope. Not for me.
It's wild living somewhere where the winters can get to below -40⁰C with the wind and the summers can get around +40⁰C with the humidity, eh? Our winters aren't too too bad, even at -40, as long as it's a dry cold lol.
Very interesting tour. I really enjoy these types of videos. This is all very similar to the systems we use here in Alaska where I live. Last winter I forgot to plug my car’s engine block heater in, and the next morning I had to walk 45 minutes to work in -20….I had ice in my beard by the time I clocked in to work haha. Now I keep car plugged in and I auto start it each night before I go to bed and let it run for 20 minutes. It is the only thing that works, even though it is wasting fuel. I also hope to get a small wood burning stove because the natural gas for the furnace is so expensive. One month, when it was particularly cold, I spent almost $12 per day on natural gas (my house is 1,000 sq feet). Thanks again for the informative video!
12 usd a day for 93 square meters???? How much does the gas cost in Alaska?
Omg, that's a lot. I understand, that American salaries are much higher but still, 12 dollars a day...it must have been very cold winter.
My gas’s bill in dead of winter is about $300 but only in the worst cold month(s) I live in the Midwest USA in a very old 100 yo house but my furnace is new a year ago. Hi efficiency … it has helped but bills are still high. Very cold winters sometimes; sometimes they are milder
@@carolbeckett6215 a high-efficiency furnace in a poorly insulated home just means it costs you less to heat the outside....
I love learning about Russia. Great video, thank you! Greetings and warmest wishes from the East coast of New England, USA
I can definitely relate to this! I'm from North Dakota, and it also gets down to -40° for most of the winter, probably November to February. It's even -40° in the daytime sometimes, especially with the wind chill.
Nobody here has coal or wood furnaces, but we do have gas and water powered heating systems. Water is common in older apartments like mine, and gas is in almost every other building. I got my first car in January, and it wouldn't start because of the battery, and my dad and I had to change it in the windy cold. Remote car starters are an absolute necessity, as you showed us! Otherwise your car will get warm just as your arrive to your destination.
Layering up clothing is very familiar, as well as shoveling snow out of the driveway and off the sidewalk of our house. My sibling and I would always fight over who gets the easy part and who gets which shovel.
Waiting a long time for the water in the shower and sink to get hot is also very common for us.
Thanks for sharing!
Stop lying....it doesn't get -40 In ND.
I cant believe the Dakotas are much colder than Alaska
@@AIDAHAR210 it's because we're the furthest state from any ocean. Water keeps temperatures from being too extreme.
@@dieyoung8259 I’ve worked with a -40 windchill in North Dakota. But not -40 ambient temp. Never got close to that there.
@@dylandelarosa9856 My point...windchill doesn't count....who made that shit up anyway😊
Siberia looks beautiful.
Wow very interesting! I’m from Nova Scotia in Canada and it generally stays around 32 f or 0 c most of the winter. February is the coldest and can drop to -15 or even -20 for a few days.
I enjoyed! Than’ you so much. Fun to learn about other’s lifestyles and cultures
Very interesting video man I learned a lot that I didn't know before
When I was growing up I said to complain about the warm weather. Now that I am older I realize the weather in my country is paradise. It is summer pretty much all year round, but its no 40 degrees Celsius or more. It it always 28 to 30 degrees. I used to dream of seeing the snow for the first time. I haven't seen it still, but I don't dream about it. I am happy to see it on video like this. Fyodor, you are the best. You are wonderful Russian teacher and you are excellent at teaching us wonderful, interesting things.
Looks like Buffalo, NY on a "warm" winter day.
not even close. been there,
I believe Buffalo and the Upstate NY area gets lots of snow because of the moisture from the Great Lakes. But the average temps in Dec/Jan/Feb don't even get close to 0 F.
I love how me and you are the opposites, you live in freezing cold and i'm on the other side of the world living in scorching hot Australian Outback :P ...Loved ya video too mate awesome work, might make one myself showing the world how we stay cool and how to survive droughts
When I was living in the Chicago area, we also had in winter temperatures of minus 40° C = minus 40°F and 2 meter snow like in Siberia.
But windy tunnels of icy air so powerful you think they are going to blow you away as you hustle down the streets. A winter day in Chicago will make it very apparent why its nickname is "The Windy City." Oh yikes that wind is cold!
Great job with this! Makes me want to visit in the worst time- Coldest time.
Ends mid-March??? You've got it made, In Michigan it ends when it feels like ending.
Wow my first time to come upon your channel. Interesting to know these facts. I have little knowledge about Russia in general ( well of course except what was fed by media during the cold war) But with the advent of internet, it has truly opened a new world we haven't seen before. I found your literature and history fascinating. New subscriber here😊
When I lived in Minnesota in the 1980s, where winter temps frequently dipped below -20° F, everyone relied on block heaters to keep auto engines warm enough to start in the mornings. It was a simple plug, inserted into a hole in the engine block (I had a Ford Fairmont), with a plug end that dangled in front of the grill. You just plugged it into a power cord from the house, and a charge continually trickled into the engine block and kept the oil viscous enough to start on the coldest mornings. Other block heaters worked by connecting to the coolant system to generate heat in the engine. I doubt much has changed, except climate change.
Hats off to your father....Thanks to you for fantastic video
this is so fascinating
Fantastic insight on living in Siberia!! Thank you and look forward to more videos!
Hi... I am from dozens of thousands islands of Indonesia. We never experience minus temperature whole year. Most people here never touch the snow in their life . Still, I can't imagine living in Moskwa's winter moreover in Siberia
You aren’t missing anything. It sucks.
Excellent presentation….really great to see how other people around the world live….enjoyed your video very much thank you.
I used to live in the Colorado Mountains. A running joke with all of us ski resorts workers when it came to cold or cold related things would be “Siberian” for example “I forgot my jacket so I had to go full Siberian on the walk home from the bar.” or we would call a blizzard “Siberian sunshine”. All this was in good humor though and never a insult. More of a weird compliment.
Visiting Siberia is on my bucket list. Wishing you well from North Carolina, USA!
You Russians are just built different! Stay warm!
First time I have come across 1 of your videos. Very interesting, I love to learn about Russia and especially Siberia. Here I am sitting in Melbourne, Australia a week out from summer. I'm on the balcony but my partner is inside with the heater on full when it's about 18 Celsius tonight! Gas is so much easier for you guys!
Makes me realize how lucky I am to live in Florida. It’s 105 right now.
Great video! Thanks for the insight, and your English, and public speaking delivery is great👍
You are very likable and humble! God bless you!
Thank you, we really enjoyed this show. Hope to see more soon.
Top notch bro. Whole different world. Cold just watching you.
In Spanish, baño is bathroom. It sounds exactly like the Russian word banya!
Lol, also we have “Vannaya” it’s sounds like vana. Means bathroom too
It's because "bania" is actually a Latin borrowing into Russian. It derives from the world "balineum"
I enjoyed the video and learning about your country, culture, and way of life. Greetings from South Texas.
Greetings from the Canadian prairies. We have the identical kind of winter, if not colder. We use forced air natural gas furnace, and they keep getting smaller and smaller, but they spit out a lot of heat. My furnace now is very energy efficient and has a plastic exhaust pipe that is cool to the touch. So you are also not wasting heat with the exhaust.
The thing with these modern high-efficiency furnaces is they're getting more complicated and computer controlled, with a life expectancy of maybe 10 to 15 years at the most. My furnace which I just replaced was as old as the house (built in 1969), an old gas-fired GE unit that fired up and kept going.
Siberia is colder than Canada.
I always wondered how people survived the winters in Siberia.
Thanks for this video.
