Life in VLADIVOSTOK 2024 (the end of Russia)

This is Vladivostok, in the far east of Russia. Over 9000 kilometres from Moscow, the Far East feels like the edge of the world but what is life like here? The Russian far east is the least populated region in Russia with only around 8 million people living here (or just over 5% of the Russian population). Vladivostok is the capital of Primorsky Krai and it’s the second-largest city in the Russian Far East, after Khabarovsk, with a population of just over 600,000. During the Soviet period it was a closed city, meaning no outsiders could enter, however these days, it is one of the most open cities Russia, with many tourists arriving from neighbouring countries (mainly China). Vladivostok is most famous as the final stop of the trans Siberian railway, the train stretching 7 days across from European to Asian Russia. It is also known for its natural harbour location and as the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet. We arrived yesterday on a ship from Korea, and can't wait to check out the city, and try to understand more about life here and its people. Welcome to 'Vladik'

Vladivostok is actually much closer to San Francisco & Seattle than Moscow is. Only around 7,000 KM. There used to be a Direct Flight between Seattle & Khabarovsk (With a 15 min Stop in Anchorage). Unfortunately, they cancelled that flight ✈️ about 15 years ago. Hopefully, it comes back someday!

In terms of infrastructure and life, Russia 20 years ago and today are completely different countries for the better. And yes, you are right, we have 197 major nationalities and more than 300 minor ones, they are of different religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and others) and different races from Europeans to Arabs and Asians, and you know, all these nationalities are united by one people, this is the Russian people who are an older brother to the younger ones and as an older brother he must always protect them no matter what. And you also know that all these people have been living for centuries on their native land and in one country called Russia

Last year when I was in Russia I did the Trans Siberian Journey, landed in Moscow, boarded the Krasnaya Strela train from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Took the Sapsan train from St.Petersburg to Moscow. For rest of my journey I traveled in Platzkart, Moscow to Kazan, Kazan to Yekaterinburg, Yekaterinburg to Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk to Irkutsk, Irkutsk to Ulan-Ude and finally from Ulan-Ude to Vladivostok. It was a wonderful journey, ate in Stolovayas, visited the beautiful Lake Baikal from Irkutsk. I also got chance to run 10 KM in Vladivostok International Marathon VII 2023, running over Zolotoy bridge, saw the old USSR T-34 tank at Park Pebody (Victory Park) in Vladivostok, T-34 was used against German forces. Getting down on the stations to stretch my legs and breath some fresh air and try to buy some food on longer stops Krasnoyarsk, Khabarovsk, Chita and locals trying to smoke as much as they can before getting inside the train again. Took the Aeroflot flight from Vladivostok to Sheremetyevo(Moscow) and finally back to India. I just had 16 day e-Visa and I guess, I used it well. I had good conversation with locals and couple of Babushka I met on the trains. When I mentioned I was reading a book on Gulag, Babushkas immediately mentioned Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. All the trains were on time, which is very helpful. During my entire journey the timezone changed 4 times (Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Vladivostok). Hope Traffic situation will improve in Vladivostok. Russia Kharasho ❤

Since childhood, I have heard that Vladivostok is the Russian San Francisco. It seems that this comparison was made in 1959 by Khrushchev. I myself live in Vladivostok. In 2006, I had a chance to visit San Francisco, and I realized that, apart from the terrain, it was not similar to Vladivostok. We don't have such a pronounced Latin American component. But the suburbs where we went on a bus tour - yes! Very similar to the south of Primorye.

Vladivostok looks really nice. It's nothing like what I was expecting. While I was watching this, I was imagining what it'd be like to have one of the flats in the hills overlooking the harbour. It must be interesting to see all the different kinds of ships coming into port there.

[@russiaandtheworld1597]

You know, I live in a city much further north and east than Vladivostok, and the windows of my house overlook the Beautiful Harbor, the deepest naturally enclosed harbor in the world and the second largest. Every morning I can see in front of my window a bay that is located 30 meters from my house, in that place the bay is a little over 2 miles wide, on the opposite side there are high hills 300-500 meters high, and above them you can see the peaks of volcanoes. Every day I can watch ships and you know what else, Nuclear submarines, sailing around the roadstead. Our town at one time in the 80s was the largest nuclear submarine base in the world with over 120 nuclear submarines based. Today, neither Russia nor the United States has so many nuclear submarines. Therefore, our town in the USA (Pentagon) was called the Hornet's Nest. It's a pity that you can't post photos here

[@russiaandtheworld1597]

90 percent of what they say in the West about Russia is a lie, and moreover, the West provokes its sins on Russia and this has been going on for at least 300 years. Russia is the only country in the world that has given freedom to almost half of the countries in the world from Europe to Africa and South America.. You know, let's take the history of the last 100 years and compare it with the History of the United States, this is that part of the so-called black history of Russia that the West wants to use as propaganda. 1-Holodomor The West accuses Russia (at that time the USSR) of deliberately famine the Western part of Russia, that is, Ukraine. But it was not an intentional famine, it was a real famine that occurred not only in Ukraine but also in Siberia, the Urals and in Europe itself, the cause was severe frosts and crop failure. But in the USA there was a real famine - an intentional famine, it was caused by industrialists and officials who inflated food prices and fired people from enterprises. And this was all supported by the US government. The goal was profit. you know this period as the Great Depression of the USA. 2- Russia is often accused of forcibly relocating some nationalities, for example the Crimean Tatars. But the West is silent that this was a period of war on the territory of the USSR and some people of these nationalities collaborated with Nazi Germany, which indirectly harmed the advancement of the Russian liberation army. But the Russians have never had hatred towards the nationalities of these groups themselves. and these people were simply resettled to new territories inland. This is considered an adequate measure. But the West is silent about the fact that the United States after Pearl Harbor, the US authorities forcibly resettled its citizens, the Japanese and not only the Japanese population, into concentration camps where some of them died of hunger and desentaria. At the same time, there was no war on the territory of the United States, but in American society itself there was enormous hatred towards people of Asian appearance and they were subjected to humiliation and persecution in society itself. 3-They often talk in the USA about how the Bolsheviks dispossessed wealthy peasants and nobles. The goal was to provide food for the population in those difficult times and create collective agricultural land for the entire society. At the same time, they are silent that similar things happened in the USA, but the goal there again was not great goals, but the goal of profit, that is, money. The dispossession of farmers in the USA was called Defarming in the USA, banks and officials took away wealthy farms from farmers. 4 Often in the West we hear about the terrible word GULAG. But in fact, the Gulags were labor camps; most of them contained traitors and criminals; there were no more than 20 percent of political prisoners. In the USA they often keep silent that they had their own Gulags and in the USA it was not prisoners who ended up in them, but the unemployed, homeless people and people disliked by the authorities, these people lived in more terrible conditions than what happened in Russia. Many people died in the USA in these camps, most of them hunger, these people built various US megaprojects. Here is a reverse story that the West is trying not to talk about, but turns such moments around and blames Russia for it.

[@russiaandtheworld1597]

In reality this is not the case. There are many cities in the Far East and they are all European, and in Siberia there are also many cities and they are also European. For example, Irkutsk was at one time called the Siberian Paris. And Vladivostok is also a southern city and far from the easternmost (by the way, a new modern city is being built nearby, a 30-minute drive from Vladivostok). The same Khabarovsk European and other smaller cities. Further east than Vladivostok is Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, on the same line only in the north is Magadan, even further east and north is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and even further east and north is Anadyr. Cities such as Petropavlovsk-K, Anadyr, Yelizovo and others can be classified as cities like Anchorage (by the way, 2 years ago there were direct flights of only 3 hours and 30 minutes from Petropavlovsk, but the same as to Japan, the only difference is that there is a land connection with the rest of the country there is virtually no, while Anchorage has it, and most of the cities in the Far East were closed cities even for citizens of the USSR, only people could enter them by invitation or for work, service, and this was until 1992 for residents of Russia and until 1993-4 for foreigners

No clue how I ended up at your channel but just love it. You guys are authentic, kind, informative, mildy and lovely lightly amateuristic (is that a word) and really heartfelt. I will keep watching and I'd love to travel Russia one day myself. Greets from a Dutch dude in Prague. xox

Отправиться в Россию и любить нацистов на Украине -- это вещи несовместимые

[@RohitSingh-wj3wc]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@katewilliams4876]

It is reminiscent of San Francisco. Not at all what I expected, certainly more beautiful. Does your sisters journey end in Russia? Wiki she be staying there? What an incredible gift you gave her. Her life is forever changed. The last time I was in Russia(20 years ago) in Moscow and St P, everyone was pretty hostile towards us(American). I had been there before in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and the opposite was true. It seems that is case again. Maybe I should try another time include Vlad. Great video, as always!

А в чем, собственно проявлялась враждебность? Просто 20 лет назад Россия была крайне проамериканской страной.

[@user-pp4vp5kd5v]

В России нет враждебности ни к кому.

[@nevagerber2434]

Простые люди относятся к иностранцам с большим интересом и доброжелательно, молодые люди многие хорошо говорят по-английски. Страна очень изменилась в лучшую сторону за 20 лет, приезжайте - не пожалеете. Просто избегайте политические темы и все.

Here is one my favourite pieces of trivia about Vladivostok - Vladisvostok is marginally closer to Darwin, Australia than it is to Moscow !

[@paulveenings6861]

What an amazing place. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. 🙂

I love Vladivostok! As a Seafarer, we always travel to Vladivostok to take Russian Coal and deliver it to Japan. I love Russia so much. The people are incredibly warm and never have I experience even a little bit of racism in there.

That crab looks delicious. It looks quite similar to what we call Alaskan King Crab in the US. I wonder if it's the same species. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure!

[@waywrdsun]

I just looked it up. It is the same! It's also called red king crab. Cheers!

[@MattandJulia]

Wow! Well that increased our interest in visiting Alaska even further 😍 So glad you enjoyed the vid! ❤️

[@jerrybow8779]

The Russian and American boats pretty much fish side by side in the Bering sea for these crabs

[@nevagerber2434]

Если учесть, что Аляска была тоже частью России, то...😂

Havent watched your videos for some time already. Glad YT finally recommended your channel again. You are such a nice couple! And Matt already speaks Russian surprisingly good (I speak the language too, moved to Saint Petersburg from NYC a long time ago). Best wishes!

Vladivostok is a city that is on our bucket list to visit. Harriet has been, I have not. What was the temperature there ? It looked like just jacket weather. What is the best time to visit there. Fascinated by the city's history. Great job with the video. Sending you Hugs🫂 and Kisses 💋 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.

[@vlglupak]

September is the best time to visit Vladivostok

Enjoyed the video a LOT. Indeed curious to explore. Compared to here in Sweden, there I saw already green leaves on a few trees, which surprised me, especially uphill after the (too short) funicular. Can't wait to see you embark the train, always on my wish-list to travel along the Transiberian. So good luck there!
