There's a hypothesis that people must better cooperate in colder climates in order to survive and as a result, sociopathy is far less common in areas that require community for the group to survive. The reverse is that people who have evolved along the equator or more temperate climates have less need of cooperation so sociopathy is more common.

Я должна признать, что Ваш город прекрасен. Я думаю, что это волшебное место. С одной стороны, я так удивлена как все может работать в таких погодных условиях, а с другой стороны, так замечательно видеть, как жители любят город, в котором они живут.. Россия действительно замечательная страна.Привет из Сербии.

Thank you. I love learning of other cultures. Well done.

[@eleanorsopwith9806]

I love the way you carry on your traditions and have music, literature and storytelling in Yakut as well as Russian. Cultural heritage is so important. You value your culture and way of life that is unique. It's inspiring how you have adapted to your climate over countless generations. Thank you for your documentary. It's the closest I'll get to getting to know your region and people as I'll probably never travel there. Greetings from Hampshire in England. So far we've had our hottest summer since 1976 but not quite as dry thankfully.

You can always visit in Summer.

Wonderful to know that the colder a place is the warmer the people are. Such a pity it seems the other way around sometimes. I just love the sheer scale and diversity of Russia. It amazes me every time. Spasiba Eli. Thank you for sharing.

[@youtubehandlesareridiculous]

I think people who live in between are less warm. Tropical countries have some very warm and inviting people in my experience.

[@veritanuda]

@@youtubehandlesareridiculous It depends. Latin populations are reknowned for their tempers, just look at Italy, but it is hard to paint a broad brush. I think the reason colder places can be more friendly is because of the ever present danger of being alone in those environments. You cannot survive without other people and so it is natural to consider everyone a friend. Just a thought, no science to it.

[@alexandrvasilev2865]

@@veritanuda it's very plausible. For example in Yakut language we don't have a direct analogue of Hi or Hello. Instead we say 'Kepse' or 'tuoh sonun' which can be translated as what news do you have?

[@veritanuda]

@@alexandrvasilev2865 Interesting. Well Russian itself is "How is life" which make more sense to me than just a hello. Either way it is better to understand others may have different culture but also that we are all the same underneath. Thanks.

[@tjohanne]

Russia is very diverse because for a thousand years, Russian leaders have conquered smaller countries and nations and made them part of a Russia. That habit never stopped, by the way.

Coldest place on earth? Lol dunno about that. I'm in Canada near the lakes. Last winter was soft as a pillow but the one before that was cold. Feb kicked off with two -43c days in a row. Didn't matter if I had the block heater plugged in, still had to double cycle the glow plugs to get the truck started and barely at that. Come spring found a bunch of dead varmints that didn't make it through winter. I ain't even where it's real cold like the territories or the Alaskan interior. So cold there you'll wanna spend the night at the bar you've been drinking at lest you freeze to death doing the stumbly-bumbly home.

[@annemary9680]

I believe it's the coldest city on earth, not the coldest place. The coldest place is in Antarctica, the lowest temperature ever recorded there was around -120F I think.

I sure did love this video of your trip to Yakutia!!! I lived in UlanUde and Irkutsk for 2 years. I experienced -40 degrees below zero. I cross country skied several hours in -20 to -30 out to my friends Dache with Banya. No water to dunk in after banya but many evergreen 🌲 trees to grab and shake as the snow falls on you. So refreshing and cold. Then quickly back in the warm steam room. Blessings to you and the wonderful people in Yakutia!!! Would love to go there some day!!! Thank you Eli! BYW I have a grandson named Eli!! Stay warm and keep traveling!!!

Many years ago I spent almost two years in Yakutia working with Alrosa, the diamond company. It's almost unreal to experience the winter in this part of the world. But it's also amazing during the summer with temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius. We used to swim in a man made pond, the bottom was frozen slush ice due to the permanent frost. Fantastic!!

[@billknudson6620]

Good video. I enjoyed seeing how the frost covered your eyelashes. It reminded me of my growing up in Wyoming USA, which is one of America's coldest places. We could literally spit, and hear the spit freeze (crackle) before it hit the snow. We had to plug our cars in to keep them warm, and keep the water running in the house. In the early 1960s, we had a car with no heater, so we rode in the car covered with blankets. After the car would sit all night, the bottom of the tires would freeze with a flat spot. As we would go to school, they would need to warm up on the pavement to get soft again, but during the coldest time of the winter, they would often stay with a flat spot. LOL! Our first winter after my first wife & I got married, we had a cold snap in Denver, CO. The little house we lived in was warmed by one small furnace. The front door would freeze closed, so we would use a hair dryer to heat the edge of the door so we could get it open. I have so many interesting memories! 😉

[@anagardy]

Thanks for sharing your story! :) It was very interesting! I was in Wyoming (Wapiti) for 3 days. Im an artist and I traveled around the USA for 19 days and painted the environment (forest, mountain and city landscapes), sketched (portraits of strangers). When I was in Wyoming - there was a feeling that Clint Eastwood was about to appear in a hat and with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth :)))

[@honeybunch5765]

Im South African and we do have places that reaches sub zero temperatures but I'm used to a very hot climate and once visited a town in my country that was -2°C. They do get winter snow and -2 was obviously not that cold for them because the locals were wearing jerseys, nothing heavy. I on the other hand, went to buy thermos and my face felt stiff🤣 it's all about acclimatization I guess. I can't imagine living in a cold place like you do, it will take getting use to.😊

in Alaska you have to be careful when removing ice from mustache it wont break hairs but it will pull them out. and i am in a warmer region what do those boys do up north i would rather not find out the hairs might break.

Thank you very much for for the so informative vedio about Yakutsk and` its people !

[@Kasonas]

I'm here because I discovered the Yakutian Laika dog, and was blessed to get one as a puppy. I named him Talan, and he is an awesome dog. I was interested in the region that he originated from and started watching your videos. The people here are beautiful and very strong lovely people.

[@fuzzywzhe]

How interesting. I wonder if they are related to Samoyeds. Samoyeds have little to no scent, they shed UNGODLY amounts of fur, in the west they are always white (because the Iron Curtain went up just after the Samoyedic people were contacted by I believe English explorers - 9 dogs came out and all were white), their fur can be knitted into wool. (Nearly) all Samoyeds in the West are descendants of just those 9 dogs. Samoyeds had 3 jobs - pulling sled, herding reindeer, and sleeping with children to keep them warm at night. Samoyeds in Russia can be white, black, or red and they are a bit thinner than the ones you see in the west. The Nenet's version of a Samoyed looks very similar to a Yakutian Laika dog. If they are scentless, and have EXTREMELY fine hair, I bet they are related.

[@Kasonas]

@@fuzzywzhe Yes, true, I have 2 Samoyeds.

[@fuzzywzhe]

@@Kasonas Well, they are good dogs aren't they - if you can deal with the hair? I fostered for them on and off.

[@Kasonas]

@@fuzzywzhe Yes, great dogs, but high maintenance because of the hair. My Yakutian Laika is much easier grooming.

[@fuzzywzhe]

@@Kasonas I don't know. When I was in college my neighbor had a Samoyed, and just fell in love with that dog. Such a nice animal, so when I got a steady job out of college, I joined an animal rescue, and started fostering for them. They have such a good personality, but they make up with it in hair. Do Yakutian Laikia's have similar personalities? BTW - you probably already know this but I always tell it to people. If your Samoyed ever gets a "hot spot" a fungal infection, it's LIKELY because you didn't entirely remove the soap from their coat in their last bath. I used to bathe mine, rinse them out, and refill the tub, and rinse them out again. I'd fluff their fur on every inch of their body on the second rinse to make certain everything was out. Their hair is so fine it's difficult to entirely wash them out.
