Thanks so much Eli. Put tears in my eyes. I lived and studied in Izhevsk almost 25 years ago now. Its my "Russian home town". More than just an industrial city of course. УдГУ had a super program for foreign students (I visited a few different universities in Russia before choosing Udmurtia), plus there was an amazing English program at School 27, where dozens of native English speakers like myself volunteered over the years. But more than anything, was the kindness and generosity of the people in Izhevsk and Udmurtia. Like nowhere else I've ever lived or visited. ❤❤
SAME! I was there with two other guys about 29 years ago on a pilot exchange program between UCF and YGY. Such a unique place and people that I remain in close contact with to this day.
"Diverse" is a kind way of describing a colonial empire like Russia. Moscow always suppressed the national identities of people it conquered. Udmurts are now a fast shrinking minority in their own homeland
Change what? Everything is normal, you can visit anytime Don't believe on everything the media in the west says The situation in Russia now is actually better than before 2022 Now the country is growing a lot and it got lots of new allies, for example the BRICS countries and more than 40 countries which want to join the BRICS So you can just catch a plane and visit, no problem at all

Hi Eli, I am in the U.S. and discovered your videos some time back when I was searching to learn about Tatar culture. I was immediately fascinated by the old Russian culture which I knew not much about. Pretty quickly you won my heart moving through the world in such a beautiful and natural way. I am grateful for all you have showed and taught.
Hi Eli! Congratulations on your trip to Udmurtia and the story of these old women, the babushkas, who had a great idea to present themselves at Eurovision with the noble aim of rebuilding the church in their village is touching. But I think they have done much more and also thanks to your video, many foreigners will want to visit Udmurtia and the village of these lovely grandmothers. However, Udmurtia presents itself as an uncontaminated place made of simplicity and very ancient traditions which, in my opinion, must be protected and never abandoned. I would never change the social and natural status of these people and places to preserve this pristine beauty and goodness of mind of these simple people. Thank you for this touching video in the depths of my soul and, I salute you and I hug you.😊
Wow, I was just taking for granted that every act in Eurovision is just assembled by some producers and optimized for scoring points. It didn't even cross my mind that the Buranovo Babushkas might actually just be a group of babushka friends from Buranovo who like to sing together. That is so wholesome! Also, this video is brilliantly done on many levels. I hope the church they built with their tour money stands forever!
I went on a vacation to Udmurtia a few years ago... a very interesting region with a rich culture and warm people. I remember that I thought you were Udmurt when I first found your channel! Looking forward to the next video in this Ural serie. Much love from Scandinavia!
Eli this is wonderful. I love the babushkas. I live with my mum here in England. She is 92 years young. She was competing in vintage racing cars until she was 85.She is a bright star. Keep up the good work in presenting the cultural diversity of Russia.
The Babushka's music has a very distinctive and emotive sound. Remarkable women who could return most of their earning to their community. Truly decent people can be found everywhere. You just need to look for them.
You should be proud of your country . I have been in many countries but Russia is my new home, I live in Moscow and visiting other cities feels like traveling to another country because each city has different cultures and interesting things about them. Most beautiful country
Thank you for making a video about my hometown. I have been living in Canada for more than 10 years now and really miss that industrial aesthetic of Izhevsk
Thanks Eli, I’ve been fascinated by the inventor of the most popular auto rifle in the world Alexander Kalashnikov, never knew he’s from this beautiful picturesque city of Izhevsk…
Спасибо, девонька! Душу мне согрела, и пение и гостеприимство удмуртских людей - это от чистого сердца. И не было бы России без маленькой Удмуртии моей❤️
As an American who really loves Russian firearms and military surplus, going to the IZHMASH/Kalashnikov Concern museum is one of my biggest dreams as I’d love to see the place where they are made and see all of the rare AK variants that you’d never find here in the US. I was shocked to see that they even let you shoot some of them there. Though it was definitely interesting to see what else Udmurtia has to offer. Having a bunch of Babushki sing live seems like it’s quite an experience. Sometimes it’s the small, little things that make some place so charming. A really good video as always, thank you for sharing your adventures.
@@whiterabit09 You can buy AKs in Russia. Certainty, the laws aren’t as good as you have to own a shotgun/other smooth bore firearm for 5 years before you can own a rifle. Though it’s funny that civilians in Russia can own an AK-103 or AKM variant while I can’t own one here in my own state of Maryland, but I can get an AK-74 or an AK in some other caliber here.
Beautiful cathedral! Also, I’m happy to discover Udmurt and Udmurt culture. Those babushkas really sing well! And I bet they were all very pretty when they were Eli’s age too!

If I were Russian I would be very proud of all things russian, and never look down on things made in Russia ,the grass really is never truly greener on the other side,love your videos ,always thumbs up from me.❤
Finally, with all that is going on, perhaps Russians will stop feeling inferior to the West. It might take another new generation growing up independently from western imports & "culture" to see the value of their own diverse people & culture & INTELLIGENCE!
Then move to russia, i!m sure you would love living under the putin fascist regime. With some luck you would even be conscripted to the army and sent to the frontlines.
Eli, I think you are maturing into such a wonderful story selector & teller. These babushkas opened a door & I glimpsed pain, generosity, warmth & humanity.
My dad who is Ethiopian educated in Russia always said and taught me “не имей сто рублей, а имей сто друзей.” Thank you Eli for this video about Udmurtia and Izhevsk. Even if I know about Udmurtia, I had no idea that Lada is from there. It’s still sooo popular in Ethiopia.
Лада родом не оттуда. Она из города Самара. Там есть филиал Лады где производят некоторые модели. Ижевск был знаменит мотоциклами в своё время. Ну и конечно там находится концерн "Калашников" который производит очень много всего, не только АК. А ещё спортивное, охотничье оружие, снайперские винтовки, а сейчас ещё и дроны
Eli-the grandmothers giving you food for a 20 minute trip made me laugh SO much! My grandma did that, too-she wouldn’t let us leave without food! I wonder if this is some Slavic cultural thing (my grandma was Slovak), and I’ve met a lot of people with Slavic ancestry who have the same memories or habits!
Udmurtia looks calm and sedated in your video. The time passes slowly I guess in Udmurtia. People live harmoniously side by side and like to help each other as depicted by one of the Baboushka. Love to listen them singing with their melodious voices in perfect harmony. Kudos to them with their kind act of charity! I heard Udmurtia is one of a place where you can find highly concentrated population of red hair. Maybe there is a connection between the narrator of this video and Udmurtia. Who knows?
Just beautiful people ❣ I love that its a community effort to help everyone survive and prosper .. Very often the most humble are the strongest and best humanity has to offer. Ty for the video 🤗
All babushkas or grandmothers are considered a wonderful human heritage for generations to come. Love those babushkas!!! Great video Eli. I always watch them with great pleasure. Wow! You are improving your Italian in a wonderful way. Very glad for this. Thank you
Eli, this is the best and most heart warming of all your videos... i love all your adventure trips, but this one will remain in my memory for a long, long time. Bless these babushkas!
Thank you so much, Eli, for showing us another very moving video about a culture I have never known. I was moved to tears by those lovely ladies' voices! May God bless them!
What utterly amazing women! Just getting on with life no matter what it throws at them and still managing to do good and be so positive, thanks for telling us more about them.
Eli, thank you so much for this wonderful video! Your face was beaming with joy sitting and talking with the Babushkas and they looked so happy to be in your presence. I hope you keep in touch with them! The word Babushka means something special to me and the reason will make you laugh and every one else. As a little girl, my nickname from my Father was "Babushka". My hair was real curly like boingy like little springs and sort of bushy. I think my Father thought the word "Babushka" meant "Curly hair". Not until many many years later, I looked up the word and of course,an old Russian woman or grandmother and a woman's scarf. He clearly didn't know what a "Babushka" was, but he sure loved calling me that. God bless.
Elinochka, I’ve been to Izhevsk and loved it! It’s not a major Russian city but it still has a lot to do like along The Prud, Kalashnikov Museum, the Zoopark, the main cathedral, Gorkiy Summer Garden, Druzhba Monument and the downtown in general. The Buranovo Babushkiy rock, as well as the local cuisine! The differing peoples of Russia set an example for others how to get along… great job as always😊...
Eli, I love all your videos and stories. All are fascinating, informative, and well-made. This video is perhaps the most beautiful I have seen from anyone
Beautiful like all your videos. Love the varied Russian culture. I suggest that for smaller towns it will be a welcome step if you add the location on google map at the beginning of video. 👍
@@user-po9ek5xx9g Is a comparison between Russia and America , both with Federal States. If you want to turn everything as you want and hate Russia go away somewhere else .
Wow! Wonderful vlog! Shooting with a rifle was impressive! 🤩 Strong and independent women! 💪 Beautiful land, pretty city, and precious babushkas! I enjoyed their music, especially their version of Hotel California! It would be great to hear the whole song! Greetings from California with much respect and admiration! ✌🏻🫶
Hi Eli! I had the opportunity to attend both Izhevsk and Perm on business some years ago - sadly during these visits the cultural aspects were all left uncovered. Seeing your clips really makes me long for a repeat visit - were it not for the current political situation. Thanks for reviving my memories on all - no, most - of the people I worked with.
Eli, your videos about Russia are the most amazing. I wish I would be able to visit Russia and travel across all of it amazing regions. Thanks, greetings from Slovakia! :)
I visited Russia once and I’ve to admit I miss it sometimes…such a beautiful, diverse and proud country…I hope I can go again one day and keep exploring more…Thanks for your wonderful videos! @Eli
That was really beautiful to watch Eli, and thank you, and thank you the Urdmurt people and Babushkas for sharing their lives. I will share this with people from Europe and America who really need to understand Russia and your values a lot better. I am not sure if you speak German, but one of the Babushkas I got to know there always said, "man nimmt nichts mit" which means we take nothing with us when we die. We come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing. It is what give and provide to others that really counts, and you do that wonderfully well. Thanks again.
This is one of my favourite videos, Eli. I always love it when you share different Russian cultures with us. Hopefully one day, I will have the chance to visit Russia and experience the cultures myself.
Fabulous place! As a gun nut from South Africa, I would love to visit the home town of the great Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov and see the museum and other beautiful places.
Thank you for your videos! I don't have the funds to travel as much as I would like, and I really enjoy your work, which brings your travels to me. It's a small window on the world, and an opportunity for me to see it through the eyes of someone who is clearly passionate about life and people. Wishing you all the best! Cheers!
This is what I personally subscribed here for! These videos about the variety of authentic cultures within the Russian Federation. Without talking about what they've done and/or may be doing right or wrong, and the USSR before them (thankfully this channel is so strictly apolitical), the one thing that they do really well is preserving all these fascinating nationalities and cultures. Thank you to Russia for that and thanks to you, Eli, for your work!
BTW: The Udmurts are the most red-haired people in Russia; a festival of red-haired people is held annually in Izhevsk. The festival takes place in September. In terms of redness, the Udmurts can surpass the Irish. 🤗🤗
Thank you for this. I've been watching Eurovision since 1978. so this was special. There's something very satisfying I find about Eastern European (or a bit beyond) ethnic music, especially in the harmonies.
Спасибо за такое хорошее видео о моей родине. Получилось красиво и душевно, но так мало) Удмуртия это еще родина Петра Ильича Чайковского. Хотелось посмотреть еще со стороны на свою республику) спасибо

In Russia all Babushkas do the same and some of them are not Slavic.
Not just slavic culture. More of an older generational culture, from many countries.
Udmurts are not Slavs. They're Fino-Ugrian. It's just a good tradition in Russia.
Generational and also the Soviet system.

Don’t know why but every video I have watched and listened to this weekend have been outstanding. Thank you Eli!
What utterly amazing women! Just getting on with life no matter what it throws at them and still managing to do good and be so positive, thanks for telling us more about them.
It's one of your nicest videos, full of humanity... congrats, Eli!
This is wonderful, Eli! The sound of those beautiful voices will stay with me all day. ❤
What a wonderful video of the singing babushkas of Udmurtia! How heartfelt. Thank you for this video!
Lots of thanks for this video! I love the Babushkas since I saw them on the Eurovision Contest!:)❤❤❤
Eli, thank you so much for this wonderful video! Your face was beaming with joy sitting and talking with the Babushkas and they looked so happy to be in your presence. I hope you keep in touch with them! The word Babushka means something special to me and the reason will make you laugh and every one else. As a little girl, my nickname from my Father was "Babushka". My hair was real curly like boingy like little springs and sort of bushy. I think my Father thought the word "Babushka" meant "Curly hair". Not until many many years later, I looked up the word and of course,an old Russian woman or grandmother and a woman's scarf. He clearly didn't know what a "Babushka" was, but he sure loved calling me that. God bless.
This was absolutely heartwarming and so beautiful. I had tears almost through all of it. Thank you so much for sharing this joy.
I live in Australia, and I have a IZH Planeta Sport 350,, it have done a total of 650kms and is new condition
bro, u are the legend xD
You a very pleasant way of telling your stories. I enjoy much ❤😊
Thank you Eli for this inspiring report. I was so greatful to have heard about these ladies. ❤
This was a deeply emotional vlog. You are, and you reveal, the very best of Russia. Thank you and bless you all.
All culture is beautiful. Beautiful video.

Elinochka, I’ve been to Izhevsk and loved it! It’s not a major Russian city but it still has a lot to do like along The Prud, Kalashnikov Museum, the Zoopark, the main cathedral, Gorkiy Summer Garden, Druzhba Monument and the downtown in general. The Buranovo Babushkiy rock, as well as the local cuisine! The differing peoples of Russia set an example for others how to get along… great job as always😊...
Russia is committing ethnocide against colonised nations. And committing genocide against Ukrainians
@@user-po9ek5xx9g colonised? Bro, maybe u should just trying to respect international borders?
@@user-po9ek5xx9g read Wikipedia first. Putin’s band destroyed ethic Russians first
@@alexbayer2365 maybe you should just just shut up and listen to colonised peoples?
Eli, I love all your videos and stories. All are fascinating, informative, and well-made. This video is perhaps the most beautiful I have seen from anyone
Beautiful like all your videos. Love the varied Russian culture. I suggest that for smaller towns it will be a welcome step if you add the location on google map at the beginning of video. 👍
Please don't call our culture russian. We are Udmurts
@@user-po9ek5xx9gA texan is still an american. A floridian is still am american . Why you get so upset???
@@honesty3440 "American" is not ethnonym
@@honesty3440 It is not the same. Closest comparison is American Indians (Udmurt) vs Americans (Russians).
@@user-po9ek5xx9g Is a comparison between Russia and America , both with Federal States. If you want to turn everything as you want and hate Russia go away somewhere else .
Thanks for exploring the famous company town of Russia & local lifestyles!! Best wishes for the brave senior citizens (ladies)❤ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
I loved the motorcycles and especially your visit to Buranovo. It was good to see the restoration of important buildings to the town.
Very beautiful video of a world that didn’t know! Very impressive!💗🙏
Wow! Wonderful vlog! Shooting with a rifle was impressive! 🤩 Strong and independent women! 💪 Beautiful land, pretty city, and precious babushkas! I enjoyed their music, especially their version of Hotel California! It would be great to hear the whole song! Greetings from California with much respect and admiration! ✌🏻🫶
Thanks for making us see the beauty of Izhevsk. I'll be there soon. Love from Philippines ❤
Hi Eli! I had the opportunity to attend both Izhevsk and Perm on business some years ago - sadly during these visits the cultural aspects were all left uncovered. Seeing your clips really makes me long for a repeat visit - were it not for the current political situation. Thanks for reviving my memories on all - no, most - of the people I worked with.
I agree, the old paths have been cut now, but many new ones have appeared. However, the cost is more expensive.
Eli, your videos about Russia are the most amazing. I wish I would be able to visit Russia and travel across all of it amazing regions. Thanks, greetings from Slovakia! :)
Добро пожаловать! Для хороших людей Россия как добрая мама откроет свои объятия.
Lovely to see a new region and people. Thank you.
So beautiful, I have tears in my eyes.
A Heart Filled with Love to all Grandmother's , To whom you visited . There Songs were Wonderful . Thank you !
Loved it. Always look forward to a new upload from you.
I visited Russia once and I’ve to admit I miss it sometimes…such a beautiful, diverse and proud country…I hope I can go again one day and keep exploring more…Thanks for your wonderful videos! @Eli

@@cristiani.lepindea8676I'd love to see Romania too! I was just visiting the Boian Romanian museum in Alberta ☦️
My wife is half Udmurt and I visited the area many times between 2000 and 2015. Such a lovely place with wonderful people.
That was really beautiful to watch Eli, and thank you, and thank you the Urdmurt people and Babushkas for sharing their lives. I will share this with people from Europe and America who really need to understand Russia and your values a lot better. I am not sure if you speak German, but one of the Babushkas I got to know there always said, "man nimmt nichts mit" which means we take nothing with us when we die. We come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing. It is what give and provide to others that really counts, and you do that wonderfully well. Thanks again.
I might never be able to go to Russia in my lifetime, but I see the heart of it and its people through your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Eli, those babushkas gives hope ❤. From 🇫🇷
Elí, skvělé! 👍 Zdeněk 🇨🇿.
What a beautifull video to see people like this.Thank you Eli!!
Beautiful place and people. Let's never forget these people. Salt if the earth ❤
Loved this video, from the Kalashnikovs all the way to the Babushkas, thanks for sharing, Eli.
I was so moved by your post, and am not exactly sure why that was the case, but thank you for using your gifts, Eli, to allow such moments.
The grandmothers are wonderful. Hotel California in Udmert fantastic
That was so beautiful and inspiring. GOD Bless those Amazing Women. Thank you for bringing this to us all❤️🙏
Hi Eli, another stunning video. Always a pleasure to watch them. Hopefully I am able to visit your beautiful country again. All the best! ❤
Such beauty ❤❤ I have learned so much from you.
Oh my, this was very special, thanks a lot! ❤
So happy to see your videos, thank you for the beautiful countryside.
This is one of my favourite videos, Eli.
I always love it when you share different Russian cultures with us.
Hopefully one day, I will have the chance to visit Russia and experience the cultures myself.
Thank you for your work. Great vid. I am touched by the babushkas.
Such a great video (loved the hotel California ending) , I can watch you the whole day , you are such a stunning woman !!😊
Why are all your presentations so lovely? Again I'm in tears.
Fabulous place! As a gun nut from South Africa, I would love to visit the home town of the great Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov and see the museum and other beautiful places.
I am desperate to visit Russia. Your videos are so educational. Let’s hope that will be a possibility in the not too distant future
People come to Russia quietly. Maybe the path has lengthened a little. You will have to fly another 3-6 hours longer.

If I had enough money, I would visit in Siberia like baikal lake, yakutsk, many more, particularity baikal lake in autumn time
Eli, I really enjoyed this video …I’ve always been interested in this area and the city …Thanks for sharing and the information…Until soon ….Alex🇬🇷
Good choice for a tour. Spasibo. And YES, the beautiful lady with the smiling face was there often!!
Thank you for your videos! I don't have the funds to travel as much as I would like, and I really enjoy your work, which brings your travels to me. It's a small window on the world, and an opportunity for me to see it through the eyes of someone who is clearly passionate about life and people. Wishing you all the best! Cheers!
This one was ao beautiful ! Thank you. Such neat people and countryside. Beauutiful!
This is what I personally subscribed here for! These videos about the variety of authentic cultures within the Russian Federation. Without talking about what they've done and/or may be doing right or wrong, and the USSR before them (thankfully this channel is so strictly apolitical), the one thing that they do really well is preserving all these fascinating nationalities and cultures. Thank you to Russia for that and thanks to you, Eli, for your work!
Thanks Eli, it's cool to see all the interesting peoples)
BTW: The Udmurts are the most red-haired people in Russia; a festival of red-haired people is held annually in Izhevsk. The festival takes place in September. In terms of redness, the Udmurts can surpass the Irish. 🤗🤗
😯👍🏻👏🏻
Do You have a link please?
Hermoso Russia su cultura saludos de Perú 🇵🇪
A trip across all of Russia on a Russian dirt bike, that would be an adventure, thanks for your video's Eli
your videos are always a delight to watch
Thank you Eli for this very touched Video
Thank you Eli, it made me cry ❤
Thank you for this. I've been watching Eurovision since 1978. so this was special. There's something very satisfying I find about Eastern European (or a bit beyond) ethnic music, especially in the harmonies.
Спасибо за такое хорошее видео о моей родине. Получилось красиво и душевно, но так мало) Удмуртия это еще родина Петра Ильича Чайковского. Хотелось посмотреть еще со стороны на свою республику) спасибо
Будет второе видео)
Элли ела перепечи в видео и не упомянула😂 Я тоже родом из Удмуртии (Глазов). Элли только про удмуртов говорит, но ведь их в советское время было не более 25 процентов. Там сплав народов помимо удмуртов. Мои бабушки и дедушки были из татар, бисермян, коми-зырян, вятичей и русских, ну и удмурты, вероятно, тоже...
@@mariapetrova3698 ну республика Удмуртия, пусть про удмуртов и говорит. Их мало на самом деле) хоть и мало кто знает о таком народе, но все же с таким маленьким количеством сумели сохранить свой язык традиции и историю.
@@Lorin_fromВ СССР развивали письменность малых народов, местные новости для них вели из Ижевска, спокушки были тоже на удмуртском... Да плюс не смешивались они, были русская, татарская (бисермянская) и удмуртские слобода обычно в селах
