Solo in Russia's Most Criminal State
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ย. 2022
- In deepest Siberia, on the border with Mongolia, there is a little known region of Russia that is called Tuva Republic. In Russia, Tuva is known as the most criminal region of the country. After the breakup of the USSR a number of crimes were committed in this remote part of the country.
However, this video is not about criminal rates. It's about hospitality of people, beauty of nature and interesting urban sites. I traveled across Tuva by hitchhiking in summer 2022 safe and sound. I documented my journey in this "most criminal region of Russia" with the purpose to show real life in rural Russia, life in Siberia.
Enjoy.

the 2nd guy who picked you up was like a walking encyclopedia
He was a university professor, so...
Who is this first guy?
Great adventure. Thanks for posting your visit to Tuva. It's beautiful. 👍
Absolutely love your videos, sir. Thank you for all you do for all of us.
Love how you always do your best to stay on the subject. Thank you for sharing!
I am a South African living in California. You don't know how much I enjoy your videos. In a sense it mimicks my 6 years of homelessness. Not to mention that I get to see parts of the world that I would otherwise never have seen. I am so very greatful to you. Please, please be safe. Always!
Hello Vegabond, Thanks for making great videos
Love your channel, keep it up! Like yourself, my dad vagabonded throughout the USSR for some years in the late 70s. He lives a very different life now, of course. But having never been to Russia (yet!), this is a window into some of the places he's most likely visited.
beautiful representation and thank you for your travel efforts! appreciate every bit!
great video! the landscape is so beautiful. it would be very soul-fulfilling to put up camp and go through those lakes, hills and mountains. for being touted as the "most dangerous place in russia" this has been quite the peaceful journey!
Yeah tuvas murder rate was about 80-90 per 100k people per year for a long time. To put it in persepective the u.k. Is not even 1 per 100k andits likely many of those murders were never reported in tuva.. Russia records murders as a crine with a body and a foul play suspect...
You made a really good job with this video! Thanks.
I really like your train riding videos but this was much better and interesting. The music was really good as well, I love the throat songs. Keep up the good work 🆒👍🏼
Your cinematography keeps getting better and better! Best to you.
Really enjoy your videos bud. Showing me places I’ll never see in my life time cheers from Scotland 👍
I always look forward to seeing your latest adventure and you never disappoint. I think you have found a good balance between the excitement of your train hopping escapades and the more general travel, culture and history of the places you visit.
Excellent video, very enjoyable and interesting to watch. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing a part of the world many people may not ever get the chance to see.
That was yet another great video! 👍
love your videos man keep em coming!!
So interesting to see parts of the world I may never get to visit! Thank you for pulling back the curtain and showing us all a window to such unique places! I keep coming back to this video specifically because of the killer music, as well.
Great adventure again!
You are the best TH-camr. Thanks for all the adventures.
Really great pictures from one of the most unknown regions of russia. I think, only a minority of central europeans have ever heard of Tuwa. The special type of vocals in the traditional music make Tuwa so notably. I am curious of your next video. Thx
Спасибо за визит!!! Белой дороги!
Awesome Video !! greetings from Australia
Thank you for taking us to Tuva, very beautiful place and people.
Awesome videos! Keep on truckn! Be safe
fascinating!! thanks for this!!
One of your best work, keep doing same work up in winters
Your best video so far, greetings from Iceland
Dig the Tuvan tunes great content you’re incredible
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it a lot, greetings from a dutchy who has been twice in Russia :)
Never came across your videos until now, really interesting perspective. I really liked your encounter with the couple on the bridge it reminded me of a friend i made in Germany many years ago from Kirgizstan, really hospitable warm people. On another note as an Irishman the thoughts of that salted tea almost made me gag all over my keyboard hahaha. Safe travels i look forward to following your journey 🙃
Enjoy seeing your videos of just ordinary life in the very large country that is Russia. Also, it's interesting to see landscapes that look like some I would see in my own country, Canada, yet be on the opposite side of the globe. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your Sharing! Beautiful Spot in earth! ❤
I appreciate your content and minimalist lifestyle.
Absolutly beautiful,love the tuvan music as well
thanks again for taking us with you. never heard of tuwa before. so I just checked wiki and so on for further info.
if you enjoy music at all you should listen to some music of tuva
Great video.
I knew when I saw the title of this that there was going to be some music from Hun Huur Tu in it. Can't make a Tuva video without it!
Excellent content as always. Tuva is beautiful.
Nice as always, thank you, Vagabond. Just notice this one has quite unbalanced volume through clips
Great adventure ☘️☘️
Thanks for the window you open for all of us. Understanding other cultures creates bridges of empathy. LOVE and warm for all the human beings❤️❤️❤️
Keep making videos, you will hit 100k subscribers soon!
Thanks for your Content - helps to understand Russia a bit more.
Nice to see places that normally would not be filmed. 👍🐨🕊🙋♀️
👍👏👏👏Great Adventure.
I appreciate the history your sharing with your viewers. Listening to you and listening to the locals you interact with. Such great beauty to see. A tourist company , a trusted Tourist Company could do very well. So many interesting locations and so Much Interesting History to see. But, if the Locals would like it is the question. It seems all the people you’ve interacted with have been friendly trusting enough to give you multiple rides all over your journey.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who only knows Tuva as a shape on a map, mostly from playing strategy games. It's nice to "put a face to the name", so to speak.
Tuva people are nice but only when they are not drunk. As many other native people they are can not digest alcohol.
Ooh they digest heaps of it.. They just are violent drunks
SO true.
Crazy considering the amount drunk Russian and Ukrainian guys that beat their wives everyday drunk off their ass
Only Native American people have substantial genetic problem. Differences in tolerance levels are also influenced by socio-economic and cultural difference including diet, average body weight and patterns of consumption.
@@_robustus_ its nothing genetic that is nonsence and a poor excuse fir insabe behavior there only ethnicities of people in this world that show any genetic sort of distinct reaction to alcohol i can think of are some chinese japanese, koreans.. Vietnamese.. They get a sort of allergic reaction to it and becone very flused like a sunburn, in some parts of china its very common other parts not.. "asian flush" it probably also means they get drunk faster, but it dosnt make them behave in any unushal or sinister way.. Just turn red like a lobster
Great video 👌🏻👌🏻
Happy to hear from you 😁
I have an idea for you: i my opinion the "best" adventures you made are the rides on the big freight trains on trannsib BAM and to nishni bestjach... i just love those big trains, the sound and how you make the videos ... what about making an ASMR while you ride ... of course you cannot capture every kilometer on video because of night etc.. but you could capture the train sound ... just let a microphone run all the time ... this is awesome i think ... just hear the train da dam da dam ... may be you can try it 😉
Great insight to this part of the world! Audio is really eardrum destroying if wearing headphones at some parts!
This is perhaps the best travel video I can remember watching. The Tuvan throat singing (I think) in the background with the gorgeous scenery which you captured so well . . . all just excellent. Surely I'll watch your other videos. What a treat to see a landscape that's not polluted with church steeples. Instead, a pleasant Buddhist environment. Tuva is something of a very special place which I've read and heard about in the past. The great Richard Feynman was somehow interested in and connected to this area.
exactly, singing parts are so well edited.
What an adventure!
The great Republic of Tanna Tuva! Keep it up!
Unbelievably Gorgeous...love the video thank you ❤
so you are russian? that's cool, I already thought about creating a channel like this speaking in English showing my country Brazil.
You should!
That would be welcome. Of course, there's a great deal of the Amazon that is not really accessible and you would have to take care not to meddle with the uncontacted tribes.
AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
great vids at the ground level....appreciate your journeys
I used to hitch hike/backpack the east coast of the U.S. for fun, but now I'm worried about running into a serial killer.
Love seeing your channel, there was another channel where this couple road a train 5 days to the coldest city there. The ppl that lived there didn't turn there cars off till spring, unless they had a heated sleeping bag to put there car into, and the windows were retro fitted with double pane insulated glass. Very cool, actually cold, very cold.
Love your videos 🇮🇳
very interesting channel! please keep this great work up :D
Thankx mate n Hi from Nsw ...
Music is a lil loud my friend 'just my option nothing more.. peace.
These videos are great. I have to do leukemia treatments monthly so I look for videos that are different. I found your channel and I am watching all your videos.. Do you need a Permit to fly the drone for aerial shots ?
Haha this is Russia. What permits 😂
I am sure there is crime over there. But as usually - normal ppl are so nice. All over the world. Ppl are simply good deep down. It is not normal to be evil.
nice one
I've been to Mongolia so this is so interesting!
вот это хардкор! Молодец, друг! Отличный видео делаешь! Я бы только немного цветокоррекцию попробовал бахнуть, чтоб чуть поярче была картинка. И с кропом поаккуратней, а то портрет министра "сплющило". Там есть что-то типа "соотношения сторон". Прости за критику, это мелкие замечания, так-то у меня лютый вострог. И отлично стелишь на недружественном, молодчина!
Great video mate. Super interesting to see the melting pot of Northern Mongolia influence in this area. Looking forward to watching your Mongolia video.
Always amazed my videos. Thank you.
Beautiful place.
Beautiful nature, ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That sheep/goat, chewing put a smile on my face. Keep these videos coming. Great content!
I also got a laugh when I noticed the one truck kept a spare thermostat on the dashboard. Good thinking!
I love your documentary! makes me want to travel again. and how is the name of the first song in your video? love it!
he will not answer and will not give information.. look at the comments, there are hundreds of comments who ask for song information he will just not answer..
Very interesting video
Can you list the songs that you used?
Been there 3 times. Wrote all about it in MY ADVENTURES IN TUVA.
I so much would like you to let us know the kind people that help you hitchhiking, but I know you have time constraints and maybe some don't talk very much or there are language barriers. But I enjoy even more your travels. I worry a little about your safety but I know you are very street wise and confident. Please take us somewhere forever.
Awesome vídeo man!
PDF: I really need the name the last Two songs pls!! Thanks and keep doing what You do!
i second that, please !
What was the music you used in the video?
Is it from the native people of the area?
Another great adventure 🫡
I like the intention with your videos. I would like to see the conversation you had with the old Tuvan's inside their house, overall the pacing seems a bit fast, but again good video in general.
Yes sir, he races through these places way too fast. The videos could and should be twice as long.
Those 2011 rails still use creosote ties. On my way East I noticed many creasote ties were being replaced with concrete ties.
Amazing to see places like this! Some absolutely incredible scenery too, with all the mountains
I always enjoy your travelogues and train hopping videos and I like your unpretentious presentation style. Thank you and hello from Canada! 🇨🇦🤝🇷🇺
10:00 the H with the tail is the 'ng' sound like in the word 'hang'. In many latin-script Turkic languages, it is written as ñ
At which time/month you Wege in Abakan this year?
wow! what an amazing area in russia.
Extra!
very interesting videos sir....from india
nice to see your beautiful smile
Anyone know the name of the song at 4:24 please?
What is the song @21:27 ???
what a trip man, amazing! Near mongolia right?
to the north-west of mongolia, yes
whats that song at 21:15 ?
What is the music at 8 minutes? :)
Anyone have a title/link for the folk song that plays at 21:16?
I beg you😢
It's a shame that the Tuvans are in such a bad condition. I don't know anything about them except that the incredible physicist Richard Feynman was obsessed with this little area on a map and finally went there during the Soviet Union days. He somehow became obsessed with their music and wanted to visit and they made it happen for him. It sounds like it's gone downhill pretty bad
I love Richard F!
Genius!
Don't worry about us. We are quite comfortable. We quietly develop our culture and successfully preserve it. Better take care of yourself.
@@nogaan I'm a mess but I'll be ok.
I just wanted to say, he never made it there. He died before the visas arrived. His daughter went instead in 200..9? I think.
@@nogaan Good for you. I sincerely hope neither Russian nor American culture overtakes your own. Cheers
We have lot's of those pray wheels in the west to, but we put them in kids play parks. Good invention.
4:22 Was that roof over the road to prevent snowfall from blocking it in the winter?
Yes, and it probably protects the road from stonefalls too.
