How to Survive a Long Winter in Russia (My family in Siberia 2022)

In Russia the winters are long and harsh. This is Siberia in 2022, alongside my family (sister and Gran) as we prepare for the cold winter in Siberia, Russia and enjoy the last few days of summer warmth. We head to my Auntie's home in Kemerovo city, Russia to check out the vegetables and fruits she grew, alongside my Babushka, in her garden over the summer months and take them home to prepare, pickle and store for use over the long Russian winter. As things in Russia turn cold and the snow begins to fall, families have to freeze and find other methods to store food to eat throughout the Siberian freeze. Also in this video with my family, we head to the supermarket (grocery store) and across the city to run some errands and buy the supplies we need for winter 2022.

Hope you are enjoying this series with my family! ❤ For those of you asking, Matt is currently in Kazakhstan, working on our future video and channel plans! We are so excited for what is coming and can’t wait to share more soon! And of course I can’t wait to see him very soon! 🥰 Lots of love to you all ❤️

[@underthetornado]

I am enjoying you sharing life in Siberia and Russia with your family. Hard to imagine how cold the winters are as I grew up by the beaches of Southern California, USA. I lived in Kansas and Idaho during snowy cold winters but strangely when I lived there they were experiencing their warmest winters ever so, i never was bothered by the snow but rather enjoyed it. Be safe. Take care!😎🏜❤

Where do your Mum and Dad live? Do you and Matt have other jobs in the past or have you always done KZbin? Perhaps you could do a Q & A sometime, if you haven’t already? I really love watching your vlogs!! I think you were very brave travelling alone for such a long distance and crossing borders!! I would be anxious just short distance in U.K. where I live.

So much space and spread out ! My father had an allotment when I was small - vegetables always seemed to taste fresher/better -- thanks so interesting

Hello from Kettle Falls, (eastern portion) Washington state in the United States. I have cold and snow here for about 5 months in the winter, but I’m only at latitude 48.6 N, about the same as Volgograd, so definitely not so cold as Siberia! Watching your videos is so fun and enjoyable. Such great and interesting adventures! I hope your Gran stays well. She is feisty, independent and so efficient (making your jams before you can get to them). She must truly be your treasure. Your auntie Olya has a sharp wit and sense of humor. You wanted pumpkins from her garden, but she says you came too late to decide if they would be planted. Ha! But such a beautiful garden! You made me curious as to what kind of special apples you made into jam. Our state is know as the best place for apple growing in our nation. By the way, Washington state has many birch trees as well!

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Stuart! 🥰 Oooh I would love Washington if you have so many birch trees for sure 😍 they were crab apples 🙏🏼🥰❤️

[@stuartwright1587]

Crab apples, yes! You’re right, they are very tart, but are wonderful. Hope Matt is back with you now. Cheers!

I live in Australia and only I've seen the snow covered expanses of Siberia from 35,000 feet on my visits to my homeland in Wales. I sit looking out the window and wonder what's happening below. Now I have some idea. Thank you for posting. You speak English better than 75% of the population of England.

Thank you so much James! Really appreciate it 🥰❤️

cockney isnt english ;p

Is interesting how you make jam. Here in Canada we always purée the fruit and don’t have large pieces in it. Looked lovely!

Hi Julia( and Matt in Kazakhstan) 👋. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love watching Julia and her sister walking around town and especially like seeing "Gran" cooking some special dishes. It's always interesting to hear about traditional remedies for taking care of an illness. Every culture has "timeless cures" for getting over a "cold or sore throat". When I visit different countries I am always grateful to learn of these traditional methods as they are fascinating to me. Julia, your "Auntie" and your "Gran" are such strong, hardworking and independent women. They have certainly set an excellent example for you and your sister. Have a wonderful time in your hometown, please say hi to Matt when you talk with him. Hope the rest of your family(and Matt's) are well and happy. Looking forward to what special treat you will be cooking in the next video. 😋

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much John! Really appreciate it! I will do, love from me, them & him 🥰❤️

[@johnvsymons]

@@MattandJuliaJulia, I don't know if you are aware of how rare it is for a subscriber to receive a reply from a KZbin creator 🤔. You and Matt are such a welcome exception to the "norm" on KZbin. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness and kindness 😊 ❤️.

These are my favorite videos when you include your family. I enjoy seeing residential areas in Russia.

[@hughtempleton8640]

Great video and thanks for sharing . it great to see how life is in Russia 🇷🇺 god bless you all . ❤ hear in Scotland we also use Google to help with thing's that we don't know . 😃 I just thought that I would mention how lovely it is to see you both learning from your gran . I think that hear in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 young people don't want to learn from the adult's which is sad . God bless you all and take care . ❤

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Hugh 🥰 really appreciate it 🥰 Lots of love to Scotland ❤️

How nice to see the daily life of your family and hometown. I remember when you and Matt were shoveling snow off the roof of your aunt's house. What a change now! nice garden, I have a garden but only grass in my Buenos Aires home. But what I have in common is that I also have an old bathtub using it as a flowerbed, we renovated the bathrooms and removed it but it was so heavy that the easiest thing was to put it outside....I hope you keep your promise to upload recipes... .I looked for the recipe for Courgette caviar but they put sugar in it, I'll see how it turns out without that ingredient that I can't eat due to my diabetes. Most of the comments you receive are positive but there are some .... what patience you must have, I admire you! That Jeff who wants you overboard must be the cockroach that part ways with you some time ago, obviously he was resentful of something... haha byby

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Alejandro! Really appreciate it 🥰 Haha, Jeff is our favourite! 😁 It is crazy how many people are just so angry at the world 😮 Lots of love 🙌🏼❤️
