I would be interested of different names of bear in udmurtian and hungarian language as well… it seems that bear was so sacred creature that us finnish at least avoided to say his name aloud. Thus many euphemisms were used. Even russians call bear as honey eater and original slavic name could be close to arktos.

В 1940 году, после присоединения Эстонии к СССР, эстонские войска были включены в состав Красной Армии. Их решили разбавить советскими воинами и выбрали для этого удмуртов, как этнически близкий народ. Среди солдат из Удмуртии, присланных для этого в Эстонию, был и мой дедушка.

Greetings from Lima - Perú. I have been watching KZbin videos from the Transiberian Railway and the cities and natural beauties on its was/route . Today I watched a video from a finno-ugric people in the frontier of Russia and Estonia called setos. Then I found your video about Udmurtia and found it wonderful. Your English pronunciation is very clear for a person like me whose mother tongue is Spanish. I learned reading and writing not in Spanish but in German at the Swiss School in Lima. Vowels in German and Spanish sound the same way every time. When I learned English I found that grammar was very simple but not fonetic because vowels sound very different all the time. In your case I was able to understand 95% of your speech. Thank You very much and Congratulations. Your video is fantastic

Are people of Udmurt Russians or they speak a different ethnic language? What religions do people follow in Udmurt? Where do Russian speaking Russians live in the Russian Federation?

[@mjv8883]

​​​@@taasmr4203столько вопросов у вас? 😅 Нет, удмурты это не русские. Как могут быть удмурты русскими если русские это название национальности, удмурты не были бы удмуртами если бы назывались русскими. 😅 Люди, граждане, живущие в России называются (rossiyane), то есть все национальности страны и русские это rossiyane, не russian. "Russian" это название русской национальности, не все народов. Однако на английском вы называете граждан России "russian " это не правильно, русские это одна из многих национальностей России. Удмурты даже не славяне, они финно-угры. Язык удмуртов со стороны чем-то похож на финский , но фины его не поймут. Однако язык относится к фино-угорским и с финским одинаковая грамматика и логика языка. Финно- угорские народы сильно разобщились когда-то, разбежались кто куда, поэтому такие трудности. Родиной всех финно-угров считается урал и зауралье. Когда-то пришли тюрские народы (татары и башкиры) и вытеснили удмуртов на север и насильственно зататарили. Удмуры из самой удмуртской республики православные христиане, но есть например удмурты которые живут в Башкирии, они до сих пор язычники, в деревнях конечно.

Блин я родилась в Ижевске, но уже много лет живу в Германии. От твоего видео теперь так соскучилась по родине 😄

[@elenastravels]

Значит, возможно, пришло время навестить Родину :D Рада, что видео понравилось! :)

Wonderful video! The information is great and the video editing is also excellent. Well done!

Thank you so much :)

Very interesting. I really enjoyed learning more about Udmurtia and Udnurt culture.

[@elenastravels]

Glad to hear that 🤗

[@brcuriosidades]

From Brazil: Great video, explained very well the curiosities and historical aspects... and I love videos from people and cultures that are still alive and resisting ... my family for example came from Venice to Brazil a century ago, that time Venice region was an own country .. and even nowadays in Venice region people speak the Venetian language and desire the independence from Italy... well, the challenge is inviting young people to be part and avoid this culture disappearing.. I believe is still time for doing it... well ..congratulations for the video and the channel.. anything you need, you can call me..see you

[@DieterRahm1845]

Only if the peoples themselves want it. It's no use trying to keep alive cultures that are already dead because of central governments and international agencies central policies.

[@elenastravels]

Thank you for your comment, Gui! I haven't heard about Venetian language - very interesting. I think people should share those things and preserve their cultures. The more people are aware of this, the better. All the best to you :)

[@andrewevans4722]

Great work! This type of thing is really needed for your region.

[@humanbeing1675]

Very interesting video to watch. Honestly, I have never heard of Udmurtia before. Always good to learn something new. Preserve your culture!

[@elenastravels]

Thank you! Glad to hear you've learnt something new :)

What a beautiful video!!! You were so respectful to your culture. So much was covered in a short space of time.

[@elenastravels]

Glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@liliansmeenge3297]

The little girl already speaking some English😍 also, this culture also reminded me of Austrian mountain inhabitants. I think all cultures are in some way connected. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@elenastravels]

Haha yeah cause she sees her aunt speaking English all the time! She tries to keep up :D Ah interesting! How are they similar? :)

[@liliansmeenge3297]

@@elenastravels The wooden houses and also the food looks similar

[@elenastravels]

@@liliansmeenge3297 interesting! I guess back in time here in the Udmurt Republic there was no such big variety of food. So, the dishes are very simple - bread, potatoes, grains... I imagine somewhere in Austrian mountains people used to have simple lives like that, too :)

[@liliansmeenge3297]

@@elenastravels exactly. Most regions were also quite poor. People lived from what nature gave them. In that light, maybe it does not have much to do with culture😛

[@elenastravels]

@@liliansmeenge3297 maybe.. I'm not an expert, just guessing :D

Anastasia, thank you! :) I'm glad it was educational :)

Thank you Elena such a pleasure to know about the Udmurt seems like i need to visit this land soon

This video was really good Yelena! You've helped push me just a little closer to visiting Russia, I want to do it in the next few months. Thank you, from Texas!

[@elenastravels]

Great! You definitely should! I've heard that many people like to travel to Russia now because here we're more chilled about the virus and all the restaurants&musems, etc. are open. I haven't been to Texas yet, would be nice to visit some day!

[@GoldenArrow297]

Thank you for showing such a beautiful part of your country.
