The first Russians I ever met were two young Old Believers from Oregon, brothers aged 21 and 18. Their family came from Sinkiang. We met in Washington state, where they led me into an Olympic Peninsula forest to a small, wooden shack. They hollered something in Russian, and out came two older men in suspenders and knee boots with beards down to their bellies. They were Russian tree thinners. They spoke not one word of English, but I got to know them through my young interpreters. Inside the cabin may as well have been in Siberia. Two beds and a barrel stove between them. No light but what came through the door. The men spoke to me of their glorious freedom in this new land. Later, outside, my friend showed me a pit he dug to keep the canned food and bottles of wine he paid the old men with. But they were free, and the nearest communists didn't know where to find them. Then I was treated to a demonstration of Russian skill at tree thinning. The old men donned their tin hats, fired up their chainsaws and tore into the forest like mad bulls. My friend told me they could work like that all day long. That was 45 years ago, and the two old men are now, probably, free indeed. My young interpreter would be about 70. I wonder what he's thinking today? I hadn't thought of this in many, many years. Thanks for the video, which brought it all back to me.

My mother was born in the same Chinese province (normally written as Xinjiang ) and was part of the exodus of Russians from China to Australia, while others - like those you met - moved to the USA. The Russians lived and worked along side the Uigur people who are now being persecuted by the Chinese Government. It is very likely our families knew each other. Although our family wasn't Old Believer (they were Pentecostal Christians), under the persecution of the Chinese Government it was necessary for all the Christians to help one another in order to survive.

Oh man, this is simply one of your best. I am Dutch, not Russian but especially the conversation with the couple in the house touched me. After you say that at the end of the day people are so alike where ever they live. And that is true. No matter where you live. We are all mostly the same. Same dreams, same wishes, same challenges. What I found striking is that I feel much the same about values as the couple in the house. Children are spoiled. People have become lazy. It is true. To my opinion, when we would talk with eachother and REALLY learn to get to know each other, there will be so much more respect. I could tell you so much about my personal experiences but this is a KZbin comment. Not an essay about respect.

Mолодец! You succeeded in your quest. It reminded me of a trek I made years ago to a beautiful Old Believer village in Alaska. It is in a gorgeous setting along Kachemak bay on Alaska's Kenai peninsula. The road did not go to the village - I had to park my car and hike. After reaching the main road, the villagers disappeared into their homes as I walked by. The village was very tidy and the women always had their heads covered. When I would encounter them outside of the village they would often wear beautifully made traditional clothing - both men and women. You might find it interesting to visit old Russian Orthodox churches elsewhere in Alaska. The parishoners are nearly all Alaska Natives. Hints of Russian heritage exist with some people's last names and words they adopted into the native languages. Can you guess what word they use for 'white man'? The first white men they met were cossacks. The Athabascan Indian word for 'white man' is 'gissuck'. The Yupik Eskimo word for white man is 'gussick'. Another one - Aleuts from the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula - more of them have Russian last names than any other ethnic group. Their special ocean hunting boat is called a 'bidirka', yes - байдарка. And of course, every native language is Alaska has the same word for tea - чай. Keep up the great work - I am a rare American that has visited and worked in Russia and Siberia - awesome places!

In 1941, her family was deported from the Krasnodar Territory to Kazakhstan. The train went through the endless steppes of Kazakhstan and stopped every 100 km to drop people from 2-3 wagons into the bare steppe. People lived in dugouts, food was brought to them once a month. After the first winter, they were reduced by half. Not many old people and children managed to survive until spring.

As always, your content is wonderful. This is one of the best

[@tyemich8820]

I'm glad I found this channel, the videos are always top quality I feel your pain, it's a record tick season in Siberia this year I got bitten twice in one week, now waiting for the results, and my mom also got bitten twice right on the summer cabin lot this year, neither of us ever got bitten before When my grandpa told me about his travels up North, like near Vorogovo, he said he'd meet old believers there too, and that they mostly live on fishing and that if you drink from their cup, they just throw it into the river. Thank you for the opportunity to see that on video 👍

[@RealReporter]

Wow! How are you feeling? How’s mom? These ticks are nasty, one should be very careful walking into a forest. Thanks for watching and for your feedback! 🤝

[@tyemich8820]

@@RealReporterthank you, I'm feeling just fine except for a minor fever, mom's completely well, although our both tick squads were positive. That's the funny part, I never went into any thick forests, and in general, I only showed my friend some popular tourist places, we stayed on the main pathway, and we also used a repellent spray. The doctors say this year is a tick boom year. Maybe it's because of a record hot spring. Welp, at least I got to swim in a lake in early June, never had that before either. I hope you're well, and that you won't be discouraged from travelling in the region because of the current tick anomaly. PS: glad to see you've been getting more views this year 👍

Wow this video was really interesting! Hoping to see some more like this. Really enjoying the production of this. Really awesome !

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

As an Orthodox Christian & an American I will say that keeping the traditions unchanged is a big deal to us. Especially since these changes oft have far deeper meaning & consequences to the whole faith than most realize. Changing one thing(depending on what it is) can undermine quite literally everything else. Everything about the faith is tied to one another in such a way that pulling one proverbial string moves all the others. I have a lot of sympathy for the old believer position actually.

Моя учительница по рисованию была из семьи старообрядцев. Они не такие строгие были. Она рассказывала, что бабушка хранила старинную библию и в семье соблюдались некоторые правила в отношении чужих людей.

A big shout out to my man in the Springbok rugby jersey from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@RealReporter]

Hey there! I'm glad you recognized the Springbok rugby jersey! I got it as a souvenir for my friend during my visit to South Africa. It's such a beautiful country with wonderful people. I had an amazing time there and I definitely hope to come back one day. Sending warm greetings to all the South African viewers!

Спасибо большое за работу. Получила колосальное удовольствие от фильма. Какие открытые лица, улыбки, неспешная манера разговора.. Все было очень интересно!

I love the moments of the interactions! I see that we may not agree with the way they see the world and vice versa, there is a respect for each other as humans. "In my opinion your way is wrong, but it's your life and only you can be the judge on how to live, not me"

[@ЮлияБирюкова-е1ч]

Очень интересный фильм. Прекраснейшие места и очень интересные люди. Вы там говорили , что у мужчины не голливудская внешность. Его внешность в сто раз лучше, он выглядит настоящим, искренним с красивыми чистыми глазами .Настоящие живые люди, не испорченные внешним миром. Такие же как и все что их окружает, живущие в гармонии с окружающей их природой. Очень приятное послевкусие после просмотра фильма. Огромное спасибо!

There are a lot of old believers aroundo the world. Here in Brazil, they keep their faith, wear long sleeved shirts and beards, don't share tableware, however practice very high level agriculture, includind GPS systems and all that stuff.

[@charlespaugh]

A joint venture between the Kennedy Family and Tolstoy Foundation, offered Old Believers living in China, Brazil, and Turkey the opportunity to come to the USA in the 1960s. They were first settled in NJ then most moved to Oregon. As the community grew, they split into groups returning to Brazil, some going to Alaska near Cordova, and Alberta in Alaska. The epicenter for Old Believers is now Woodburn, Oregon. They number over 20,000. The schools have adapted to their liturgical calendar as have employers. They run berry farms, construction companies, and commercial fishing boats. In the 1980s, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia came to Woodburn to bow down to the Old Believer leaders and apologize for their mistreatment hundreds of years earlier. There have been quite a few books and documentaries made about them.

As a Muslim, I have much respect for the old believers.

[@SerbanOprescu]

I am a Christian , and I have much respect for Muslims. Especially after I've met them in the Arab desert, and discovered how pious they are - I am pious, how much they protect human dignity and how much they protect life itself. They were miles away from Western descriptions.

Not all of us are like this. There are different kinds of people here as everywhere else. Orthodox old believers chose voluntary exile and learned to live in harsh environment far from developed parts of the country, guided by strict religious code. There are similar religious communities all around the world. And as in the rest of the world these communities do not represent the majority of the country's population. They are exeption, not a rule.

[@josephtsui125]

@@gnidobarus2932 I totally agreed with your comment: “Not all of Russians are like this. The Orthodox old believers are exception, not a rule.” I apologized if my original comment was overboard and over generalized. In fact, my knowledge of Russia and Russians are very limited. It was until I started watching Real Reporter’s videos. I watched each and every one of Konstantine’s videos, some I watched several times. Russia as a country and Russians as a nation come to life in front of my eyes and ears. I beg your pardon if I offended anyone. I am still learning. Полностью согласен с вашим комментарием: «Не все русские такие. Православные старообрядцы - исключение, а не правило». Я извинился, если мой первоначальный комментарий был чрезмерным и слишком обобщенным. На самом деле мои знания о России и русских очень ограничены. Так было до тех пор, пока я не начал смотреть видео Real Reporter. Я смотрел все видео Константина, некоторые смотрел по нескольку раз. Россия как страна и русские как нация оживают на моих глазах и ушах. Прошу прощения, если кого обидел. Я все еще учусь.

@@gnidobarus2932 It is good to clear the air and eliminate any misunderstands. Believe it or not, English is not my mother tongue either.

You were right it is heartwarming to see that people that are so orthodox that other orthodox are not orthodox enough that I as a western person still investigating orthodox can agree on things like help. Parents pamper their kids too much. I found that so funny it’s really cool to know that we can find unity in some things probably the most important things. God bless you.
