Wild steppes of Europe/Asia border and Przewalski’s horses | Orenburg, Russia

Orenburg isn’t a popular place to visit in Russia but in vain. It’s one of the country's biggest regions which contains masses of preserved corners of pristine nature, the Ural Mountains, salt lakes, the spirit of the ancient history of the tribes and endless steppes with the world’s last preserved wild horses named Przewalski's. Przewalski's horse is the last species of truly wild horse left on Earth. It was discovered in 1879 by a famous Russian traveler and geographer Nikolai Przewalsky in Central Asia. The species almost died out completely twice in history but now the horses are revived in the centers of reintroduction like Orenburg nature reserve. So far in Russia, this center of reintroduction of Przewalski horses is the only one.

What a joy it must have been to come across that huge harem of truly wild horses! I'm from Virginia, US, and I remember the thrill I felt coming across wild horses in the state park at Chincoteague, but they were descendants of domesticated horses. As you so often do, you've also shown us a delightful domestic atmosphere and more intriguing examples of Russian cuisine. I also love the way that you ended the video, unconventionally for you--instead of cheerfully summing things up and then saying goodbye, you fade silently into the distance with some text on the screen. It felt so appropriate for this video about a wild, wide open land. Great music choices, too, and I loved that mouth harp. I hope you enjoyed your whole two weeks there!

Maybe double check, the young Canadian army officer/veterinarian who named Winnie (his unit's mascot) was from Winnipeg (after his home town) but the bear was an orphaned cub that he purchased from a hunter in Ontario. The officer took the bear to england and left it at the London Zoo while he served in France during the 1st WW. The writer of Winnie-the-Pooh was English and his son (Christopher Robin) saw the "Canadian" bear at the London Zoo. Disney purchased the rights to the story from the author's estate.

Russia will end up like Serbia. Terrorist countries must be punished.

What a great video about this spectacular landscape and those curious horses. No wonder mr. Borodin composed his concert "On the steppes of central Asia" which is equally beautiful. Please keep doing the good work Eli.

Such an ancient breed and beautiful

Beautiful horses, Eli this was a documentary🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Absolutely Fascinating . And once again, another introduction to a culinary delight from the East . Hidden experiences and goodies to much of the world . Well done again, Eli !

[@miamiclipper]

Very cool, they look like the horses of Lascaux Cave in France. Like living cave paintings.

You're right! I hadn't noticed. TY for your post

Ehi Elina, che video fantastico...continua così 😊😉 ciaoo

Давно Вы были у нас? Жаль, я не знала о Вашем визите:(

[@westernwanderer8397]

What good horses! We used to have to bribe ours to come in with molasses grain. It is a real honor to see wild horses in person. I still remember seeing a herd of them in Nevada, US. A great video I can really relate to, Elina. Thanks for all the traveling you do, bringing Russia to us who cannot see it with their own eyes at this time. By the way, the horse woman looks like a famous actress, but I can’t think of who at the moment.

"bringing Russia to us" - Orenburg is not Russia per se, it is part of Kazakhstan, occupied by Muscovite state.

Just love the wooden craved doors on the bakery. This city is not a place I can push my walker , this Barbuska can’t jump over drains. Another interesting tour.

Ukraine should attack Russian civillians who support Pukin. Taste of their own medicine

[@user-on8vb8vn6f]

Эту красоту показывали по телевизору и не раз. Помню приезд В.Путина, его поездку в оренбургскую степь, где ему показали лошадей Пржевальского.

Eli, I love all your videos! I am from Hungary and have been dreaming of visiting Russia. Your videos give an excellent perspective of the various regions in the huge country. I would especially like to visit the parts where my ancestors, the Magyar originated from, but I need to do some more research as to which regions those are. Greetings from Hungary 😘

[@gordbolton27]

Awesome! Thank-you Eli!

Thank you so much for posting a video about my old hometown Eli ❤ Due to the current circumstances I couldn’t come for a visit this year. Seeing your video helps me a lot to cope with being homesick 💔 keep up the good work!

[@stephensmith2601]

Thanks Eli, I always enjoy your off-the-beaten-track reports. There are very many places in Russia I would like to visit and foods I would like to try. I have only visited Moscow and Leningrad (back in the 80s). I hope that free travel is possible again soon.

@@dianem7677 This is not to justify any war, but what happened to Irak? Almost 1 million people killed. Invading its territory, whose fault was that? The Americans' or the American government's? Same for any country. Ordinary Russians are very nice and interesting people, and they are not bad, because of their government. I hold them in high esteem for their intelligence, but also for their discipline and humility. Great qualities.
