Hi, thanks for visiting our republic and making this cool video. Btw, we are mongolians, but differ from them a little bit, we still can understand them and share similar traditions, that’s why we have similar costumes and other stuff.

The kvass barrels have been metal since Soviet times, but the company selling kvass decided to decorate them and covered them with wood to give them an authentic look, it doesn't look very good and winemakers will immediately see that the barrel is not real)... and of course this is not the property of the woman seller, there is a large company bottling drinks and this is one of its areas. Every morning, the kvass barrels are delivered to different points. А woman - tram-driver does not announce stops (this was about 20 years ago - now stops are announced by a robot) - she says into the microphone that the tram is leaving the route and going to the depot. Behind the glass on the sign it says - at the depot. Yes, our city is not super modern, but I don’t suffer at all )))

Those wooden, brown-designed houses are not Buryat, they are Slavic Russian houses, you'll see them everywhere in rural areas in the west of the country and villages. The floral design on the windows and the samovar is a dead giveaway.

[@bayarkhamag-nq3eg]

Actually samovar originate from Turkey. Wooden houses are actually a traditional Buryat type of housing along with woolen yurt in steppe regions.

[@mitrogulf4073]

​@@bayarkhamag-nq3eg Another "historian". What was on the video were not "Buryat houses", but the ordinary, typical, template-created Russian hut of the late imperial or early Soviet period. The buildings you are talking about are called Egieel, this is essentially a huge, low building, octagonal in shape, without windows, with turf on the roof, and hole in the middle of roof, reminiscent of a wooden yurt. The only difference and the main thing that clearly distinguished Buryat izbas (huts) from Russian ones is the layout of the stove in the center of the house and free rooms around as a tribute to the tradition, when there was a fire in the center of such a wooden yurt. At the same time, the Russians had the same layout and it was called just "square" type, but with walls. Such Buryat houses in essence were not much different from the Russian hut, because in essence they were Russian huts and only wealthy buryat peasants and merchants could afford such things. There is a difference between the Turkish and Russian samovars, even among Russian samovars there are several types (and the samovar as a technology generally came from ancient times "authepsa" analogs as an example were also in China). The samovar itself in the form that is in Russia, according to legend, was brought by Peter the Great from the Netherlands, although this is more of a legend because it appeared later after his death in Tula, and began to be mass-produced at the Nizhneirginsk metal products plant. As for the similarity, then in this way you can reach people from the Stone Age.

When they travel abroad, this mindset stays ingrained in them, making them feel inferior. They automatically feel ashamed to reveal their real ethnicity because in Russia they are constantly told that Moscow has given them everything: mythical wealth, infrastructure, education, and a peaceful sky. We must be honest, ethnic Russians are more radical and brainwashed, while minorities tend to be more oppositional. However, there are some who vehemently reject their own nationality in the hope of proving they are just as Russian, which only adds to the problem. You can see this in the comments from Russians under this video and the previous one from Khabarovsk. In that video, two similar houses were shown, but under the latter, the comments never acknowledge that this is common in Russia. Here, however, they say it’s because the region is poor and populated by non-Russians, trying to argue that it's not typical, when in fact, it happens all over Russia.
