Then you should know that Bashkortostan is not Russia and that the people living there are not ethnical Russians. It´s a Russian colony and the people fight for their freedom. They do not, to my understanding, want to belong to Russia. Unfortunately - and I say this as a Swede and neighbour of Russia - many of the negative things you hear about Russia and the Russian people are correct. They do not have the best reputation among it´s neighbours, to put it mildly. But again: The people in Bashkortostan are not ethnically Russian and their native language is a Tartar one, it´s not Russian.

Bashkortostan is nice...I'm from the Netherlands but I lived in Russia for 7 years with my wife. In Kazan. One day I said. THAT'S IT Today we will have fun in Ufa! So we went there by bus...Craziest little vacation we ever had. Everything we planned was replaced by better things. We go on the street to walk, people come with us to show us the city. We go have a drink, the bar in a 80's style calls their friends to make it party for new guests. I repeat a guy from a +100500 video: Moskva g*vno! A Ufa za*bis! And we get free bish barmak. It was maslenitsa so we burned a straw doll in the forest close to our apartement and suddenly it was sunny and + 3 C. We will never forget Ufa. It was only for 2 days, but we felt good vibes everywhere we went. And that is only Ufa, not the rest of Bashkiria. Kumyz though...Yes I know that tends to torment your belly a bit. Next time you drink Kumyz eat some cucumber and garlic with it. It helps. :)

Hi Miguel, greetings from the other side of the border, I live in Chiapas. Just a piece of information: This is not Russia anymore than Guatemala is or ever was a part of Spain. The ethnicity of the people is not slavic, it´s Turkish and they struggle for not belonging to Russia. It´s "Russia" just iin the meaning that it belongs to the Russian federation, but again: The same way the Spanish wanted your people and the world to believe that you in same way belonged to Spain. Which was of course nothing but a colonial lie.

What a beautiful video about such a simple thing as food, full of energy and fun. Thank you again for this friendly episode from wonderful Russia!

[@robertirnazarow5400]

Eli, thanks for another great video!! I am really so grateful that you're introducing Bashkir cuisine :) I guess it'd be best to try it at somebody's house, but still so nice to see all the iconic dishes introduced :) Horse sausage Kazy and Belesh, casserole with meat and potato would be something that I would add to the list! Your family is so lovely, please continue to bring us such good content :)

[@jameshutchins3396]

So much fun. May it always be that way for you girls

[@francescocursio4523]

Hi Eli! This video really amused me because you have some very nice and funny sisters. Your traditions are also very valuable to me, like the songs and dishes you presented which, besides being aesthetically beautiful, I think are also good. Congratulations on this fun and cultural video.

[@dianem7677]

...just like a good movie, right? Nice plays.....This is cultural video....aka propaganda video

[@francescocursio4523]

I don't understand what your problem is. What propaganda? The one referring to the geopolitical situation? I do not see any propaganda and no connection with Russian political relations. I saw a video in. which a youtuber girl has involved her sisters for her video in which she introduces her visitors to the channel to one of the many traditions of her city and the languages ​​they speak. Also, I saw three girls who want to live their lives like all boys in the world. For me it was a video with informative and cultural contents. I did not know that in Ufa, as in many parts of Russia, more languages ​​are spoken besides Russian which is the official language and, therefore, they use signs with the languages ​​they speak in the cities and for me this fact was highly informative. Culturally, there are the ancient clothes that the nomadic people of the Ufa region wore, the songs, and the food they showed us at the restaurant. I did not know all these things and, thanks to the work that Elina does, I was able to enrich my cultural background which. I wouldn't call it propaganda at all. Also, for me information is useful for the simple fact that if I want to make at least one trip to Russia, I don't go blindly, therefore, I know where I want to go. Let me give you this speech Diane M, I think you are a little jealous of Elina who has been able to create a job and who is having a lot of success and is also appreciated for what she does. I want to give you some advice, if you have any hobbies or there is something you like to do in life, roll up your sleeves, don't look anyone in the face and make it happen. Don't stand still and look at others and criticize what they do. I greet you with peace of mind.

[@dianem7677]

@@francescocursio4523 ...sorry , I have no time for speeches. I just read 2 sentences of it. Yes, Eli's video is sad propaganda and you need to see what she is showing and what real Russia is. Try harder. And I dont know if you care that Russia is killing innocent children in Ukraine but you need to think about it before you start admiring that staged videos.....

[@francescocursio4523]

Excuse me you! But you found the time to answer me! Since you give these answers I am forced to give you another speech to tell you what you make me understand about you. If you do not have the patience and curiosity to read what your interlocutor writes to you, I doubt that you have anything constructive to say and I must think that you are an envious troublemaker at the expense of others who try to do something constructive, informative and nice. Let me know a little bit you, where and what should I know what Elina is showing about real Russia? But are you Russian or what nationality? I'm Italian. You mention the situations all because of Russia, like this, in a very general way. Of course it worries and pains me for months what what the Russian army is doing through the special operation to the Ukrainians. Instead, do you know that many Russian mothers, fathers and sisters are worried or are they already mourning their children and brothers who are leaving for the front or who have not returned alive? Many of those guys do not want to be on the front, unfortunately, they are forced to enlist and leave. I myself am terribly afraid of nuclear bombs and if they blow up nuclear power plants. I condemn the decisions that a single man is making, but only him and not all of Russia and I believe I have the mental capacity to understand and know how to make certain differences and, in this case, the difference is the Russian Federation and the Russian people. which are two different things. Obviously, there are the Russians who approve of what their president is deciding, but they are not the whole. Therefore, you are making a shit out of everything. Also do you believe that with your poor comment to alienate my beliefs and change my mind about what I think? You are very wrong! You make me understand all your envy you feel towards Elina and want to undermine her channel, plus, you are pushing me to counter you in your miserable comments so that those who read my comments can step away from Elina's channel. In the end, I believe your attempts to subvert the normal course of Elina's channel are all in vain. I give you another advice, no longer follow Elina's channel and that of anyone else because you are not a person who is at peace with herself. After this comment, I will no longer answer you out of respect for Elina and, if I find another arrogant answer of yours, it means that you really don't have the will to read and understand the thoughts of others. Greetings.

Your channel is wonderful and very informative. My family’s patriarch came from North Ossetia. He left there in the mid-1860s and settled in the Black Sea coast of the Ottoman Empire. I have a cousin with the same red hair and skin tone as you (beautiful). I am learning my family’s lost history/culture from you. Thank you, I very much appreciate your efforts. 🙏

Eli is incredible a true ambassador for people and cultures of Russia. Excellent. I am in awe of the culture and people. Other cultures in Russia are far more respected than in Norway. Norway talks only Russians act on human rights far far far far more than Norway.

all these TURKIC nations were destroyed, killed, assimilated by russians. these people were forced to speak russian. russia depopulated them and placed russians in their lands to create and expend more russian population. and these nations are claiming their independence. putin came to power and took away the autonomy right from these Turkic republics. The very few countries who were able to gain their freedom after the collapse of communist soviet union were KAZAKHISTAN, UZBEKISTAN, KIRGHIZISTAN, and AZARBAIJAN. and russia hates these TURKIC nations and their TURKIC UNION against their authority. russia sends their men to Ukraine war, to fight against the Ukranians . russian govenment comes to these people's houses and forced to join the russian army. These people don't want to be in the battle field against Ukraine. the communist russia forces them.

[@joetaadaa7074]

You girls were very fun to watch. And your culinary "evaluations" was very entertaining. Elina, you MUST go to the villages and sample their foods there for comparisons sake. You cannot tease all of your fans with just a small bit of food. And take your sisters too. Especially your sisters. Thanks for the fun.
