Exploring Chukotka - the most remote Russian region

Support me on Patreon: / vvagabond
In this video we are embarking on a captivating journey through the Arctic landscapes of Anadyr, Chukotka. I traverse the city and its surroundings, unveiling local architectural wonders, crossing a frozen estuary and showcasing the unique charm of this remote Arctic gem.
We discover the distinctive features of Anadyr's architecture, immerse yourself in the local culture by indulging in authentic Chukotka cuisine, and witness the city's vibrant life against the breathtaking backdrop of snow-covered landscapes.
As we delve into the daily life of Anadyr, I'll take you on a journey through the city's shopping mall, exploring grocery prices and gaining insights into the local economy. At the same time, our adventure doesn't shy away from the mysterious and abandoned; we'll explore forgotten places, including a former military base that once housed the storage of nuclear weapons, unveiling a piece of Chukotka's complex history.
This video captures the essence of Anadyr, Chukotka, providing a rare and intimate glimpse into a world shaped by Arctic beauty, cultural richness, and historical intrigue. Enjoy!

CORRECTIONS, REMARKS AND CLARIFICATIONS: 1. The wind power station shown at 24:13 is the biggest in Arctic zone of Russia but not in the whole country. The largest wind power station is located near Nevinomyssk, Stavropol region. 2. Ironically there was no printed bus schedule on the bus stop at 11:53. However, as I mentioned in the video, it was available online. Not all of the bus stops had heated room, only the ones with the highest passenger flow. 3. At 12:58 I followed the road to the ferry harbor. Officially, the winter road wasn't open but it didn't scare some drivers owning off-road vehicles to still cross the estuary. Being there for the first time, I didn't understand the trajectory of the unofficial winter road and wasn't sure in the traffic. Ordering TREKOL would cost me ~40$. After some calculations I decided to walk to Anadyr because, firstly, it sounded more adventurous lol, and secondly it was cheaper (leaving alone the risk of falling through the ice). 4. The man at 20:38 seemed mentally ill. I didn't check whether he mentioned real salary or imagined it. The rest of the interview was cut from the video because he jumped from one thought to another and I lost sense of he was saying. 5. Grocery prices in Anadyr differed from one store to another. One product can cost x in one store, x2 in another one and x3 in the third. Take it into consideration. There is few federal retailers in Chukotka which is one of the reasons why prices may be significant. 6. How about wild animals? Well, polar bears do not inhabit the territory around Anadyr, they live somewhere northern. Wolves? They can indeed be seen somewhere around Anadyr but the possibility of encountering them is still pretty low. While walking to the nuclear storage I saw a fox but it seemed to be afraid of me and it kept long distance, so I didn't care about the fox and carried on walking.

According to the internet it seems the average income of Chukotka is going up and is around 130-40k per month. Even then with the prices you showed us in the grocery store, if you buy an average of around 30kilos of consumable products a month that would be 1/4 of income gone. That just feels very expensive to live there. Thank you for the great insight on this video.

[@ivantrainsLIVE]

I can confirm that the average salary in Chukotka is ~1500$. Nevertheless, life is truly expensive there.

Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means> John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more) lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will) lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale. BIBLE IS: BASIC INFORMATION/instruction BEFORE LEAVING EARTH = BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth.

Great tour. I used to live in Alaska 1735KM east of your location. We had the same hard snow, ice fishing and ice roads. Food was expensive but only 200% of Lower 48 prices, sometimes only 150%. We also had very high winds - I could never walk as far as you did. We would use snow machines and F-250 trucks, but only the Army had tracked vehicles for off road snow travel. The coldest drive I ever took was a -66.6F (-55C), then the thermometer died. Maybe it was colder? It was always a challenge to keep electronics alive in those conditions.

[@ivantrainsLIVE]

The frost would be the major problem for my filming gear. One of the reasons why I went to Chukotka was an accident "heatwave", so the temperature was between -10°C and 0. If it had been lower than 10°C, I'd have struggled with keeping cameras alive.

[@HiwasseeRiver]

I noticed what I call "warm snow" near the nuke bunker where your legs punched through and it was hard to walk. I'm sure you can judge temperature from snow sound (squeaky cold snow, quiet warm snow) I've also crossed frozen rivers - the water flowing under the ice comes from ground water and may be 40 F and make the ice melt - we called that "rotten" ice. Many people drown when the drive over rotten ice.@@ivantrainsLIVE

[@CoffeeAndPaul]

Toward the run-up of the collapse of the Soviet, the mid Eighties, the Soviets made mixed progress when it came to using computer technology to keep things running. Back when that signed was posted there was no internet but every Soviet City /large Town had a municipal-use mainframe computer, & you needed permission from the local authorities to use them. You probably would have had to use punch cards or magnetic tape reel for your programs. 8" floppy disks existed at the time but the Soviet Union did not like that standard; floppy disks could be personally concealed or otherwise easily hidden. Try hiding a magnetic tape reel on you. Those things are gigantic.

Here in the USA, the end of the Cold War also caused places with military bases to become depopulated. Many bases were closed and the towns around them dried up. Bases in urban areas were redeveloped (for example, the airport in Austin, Texas used to be an Air Force Base, just like Sheremetevo airport in Moscow) but the small towns are just sad and dying.

So true! I grew up next to a naval base in Massachusetts. Always had the sound of jets flying around. Even then just idling on the runways produced a sound we were used to. Airshows every summer.

I LIKE cold places and places out off everything. I LIKE Syberia, Allaska, this place is very nice, i want to live there.

i was actually excited to see a new video from you and holy crap you do not disappoint

[@vojtechvanek1686]

Great as always, thank you

You did an amazing amount of research for this trip and the video! Very impressive. Your exploration of the nuclear storage facility was spooky and informative - thank you for doing so much to show us this place! Greetings from the western USA. My dad told me about Lend-Lease ships leaving Seattle, Washington for Vladivostok during the war. He was in the US Coast Guard stationed on the entrance to the Columbia River listening for Japanese submarines trying to enter the river. He said they would wave to the Russian sailors.

Fascinating to see places that I will never be able to visit. Also tragic that so many towns have just been abandoned and left to fall apart.

Youre videos are getting better and better. Keep it up!!

[@fegsanchez7344]

Amazing adventure! So beautiful there

[@orchidorio]

I just found your channel. Watched the entire video. I couldn't tare myself away. I remember the Soviet Union and the Cold War. They were SERIOUS!!

[@filipsvacha9836]

I wouldnt expect to see czech beer in the most distant region of russia :D i was quite surprised. anyway, nice video, keep up the good work you are putting in these

[@ivantrainsLIVE]

I wouldn't have gone to Chukotka if there had been no Czech beer.

I love your travels and your English has improved immensely, well done! Sometimes vowel combinations still trip you up but your progress is amazing

[@patanouketgersiflet9486]

Spasibo, great stuff once again

[@rgc1961]

Fabulous video! I'm very impressed with your English and wish that I had paid attention in my French class. Nicely done!

[@blacksunapocalypse]

I like how this place is a lot more advanced than many remote places in Canada.

[@DeathWatch13]

Great video! Went above and beyond

[@loisjclark]

Very interesting! Thank you!

[@confusedkemono]

Anadyr great video!

[@Robutube1]

As fascinating as always. Thanks for showing and teaching us about your country. Chukotka looks like a hard place to live, even with all of the conveniences of the 21st Century.

[@praisane]

Absolutely fascinating stuff once again. I love these remote, desolate places and find it fascinating how people still manage to live a relatively modern and ccomfortable life there. Keep up the good work!

[@lukasgayer5393]

Another lovely video. Thank you! Greetings from Czechia!

You should consider getting a flashlight without such a hotspot. A more diffuse one would look much better, considering cameras' lower-than-human dynamic range. You can also just get a cheap diffuser to put on your existing flashlight. Absolutely love the videos! :)

"Keep it real"....not more to say 😊 Love your vids ❤
