I am from Vologda region, only 100 km from this place, so I'd like to say few things: 1) as someone already noticed here in the comments, "pyatak" normally would mean a coin with the value of 5 (for example, rubles). It could also mean a small piece of land. So in this case they probably refer to the shape of the island, that is small and round like "pyatak". 2) it's not that far north, and there is no tundra there, but there are lots of forests instead 3) it's not that cold there either. Yes, it can be quite cold in winter, and the winter can last for 7 months of the year, but at the same time it gets pretty warm in summer (30-35°C is not something completely unusual, but it doesn't get that warm every summer). Anyway, I didn't swim in Novozero, but I am pretty sure it's easily done in summer, because I swam myself in Belozero when I was a child, and it was completely fine, and Novozero is smaller, so it gets warm faster. So icy waters are true but not completely. 4) finally, Novozero means "new lake", while Belozero which is another bigger lake closeby means "white lake", so there is just a little confusion there;) I would also like to add that first time I heard about this prison was from my boyfriend who is not Russian, and it was kinda funny to learn that I lived that close to the place but never heard of it😅 but I guess I just wasn't interested enough. Anyway, thanks for the video, I have learnt a lot!

When he mentioned flamethrowers being used in the Beslan what most people think is the traditional style of flamethrower, as in the type that spews fuel that is then lit at the muzzle by either electrical of chemical means, but in this case what we're talking about was probably the RPO-A ''Shmel'' aka bumblebee. Actual flamethrowers, the kind we're used to seeing in ww2 movies are not used anymore by really any modern militaries and have been replaced by shoulder launched incendiary rocket systems such as the RPO, due to their much greater range, the misconception probably stems from the fact that RPO stands for reaktivnyj pehotnyj ognemet, which roughly translates to rocket propelled infantry flamethrower. Essentially it servers the same purpose as a regular flamethrower, with the added benefit of being able to burn you to a crisp from several hundred meters away, as opposed to something like 20m, which the good old M2 flamethrower used by the US during ww2 and Vietnam, was capable of. So instead of picturing a bunch of FSB guys kicking down a door and spraying a room with burning napalm, picture them putting a rocket of literal hellfire into a window, less exciting I know, but that's more likely what actually happened, not that being burned by an RPO is any less brutal, deadly or painful, at least for the guy on the wrong end of the rocket, but I do suppose it's a bit less of an intimate experience for the guy shooting it.

Stop saying drug dealers aren't criminals, America! Also, the worst part of my job, which I work very hard at at trying to help people, is seeing how many people don't respond to rehabilitation. Work in the field before you come-up with b/s statistics, Steve.

Kate Ealer how is it that places like Norway have a low rate of recidivism then? Oh, right, they actually try to rehabilitate people, rather than throwing them in for profit prisons and punishing them. I wouldn’t be defending our prison system, we have one of the worst reoffender rates on earth. Obviously something is broken. Also, bachelors of science in mental health and human services with a focus in addition, from umaine. I work in your field. Trying to get people busted for minor pot distribution back into society. It’s hard finding them jobs, and the prison mentality sticks hard. It’s wrong, what we do to low level drug offenders. The rest of the us agrees, that’s why they’re all legalizing pot.

This is awesome. There are so many places to illustrate their histories. Tower of London, Taj Mahal, many castles in Europe. However, I suggest a little known Russian settlement along the Northern California coast called Fort Ross. Yes, a Russian colony in California before it was part of the USA. It is still there today.

From everything I have read the military just went in guns blazing shooting whoever was in front of them. Men, women, children, terrorist it didn’t matter. Then the government shouted “law and order” and shit like that and acted like they were heroes rather than being on par if not worse than the terrorists. Disgusting.
