What is happening in the Russian Arctic? | Soviet 'heritage' in the Far North

SWITCH ON THE SUBTITLES ;)
The Soviet Union actively explored the Arctic. Many civil and military bases where created on the islands and shores of the Arctic Ocean, and provision in large amounts was brought to sustain their existence. The North was actively developed before the collapse of the USSR... What is happening there now?

It is so warming to see such caring people. Thank you for sharing another region in Russia, with us. I always look forward to watch Eli from Russia, in South Africa, over weekends.

I'm curious how is the life in Ulan Ude, Buryatia .

[@ericastier1646]

You did a great professional work Elina. The only critic i have about your documentary (but i understand your reasons) is that it is missing the historical explanation on what Soviet era industries caused the materials pollution. Your documentary starts by showng the pollution without any explanation whatsoever on how it got there and what mistakes were made in the past. Of course your documentary would have become political, and probably those who commanded you for the task did not want that from your documentary. But for random viewers like me it is incomplete. You wouldn't document the reconstruction after a catastrophe without first talking about the cause itself. But i understand why you couldn't.

[@alvonfinster2915]

I'm in the Yukon. I have cleaned up some Canadian sites. As a child I lived in a small village. Radio Moscow was one of the major SW radio stations. It was the cold war. The bombers and missiles would go over our heads. I laid in bed, sometimes too frightened to sleep. I wondered whether there were small boys in Russia who also had that fear. Thank you very much for showing me Russia - I have watched some of your videos. You are a master at communication & I appreciate it immensely. New word for you - Massi - used by the interior indigenous people in Canada & Alaska to give thanks.

So happy to see you, Eli! I tell everyone who will listen to watch your channel. My sister is a history teacher for 11th grade. I found your channel when we were taking care of our Mom. She had Alzheimer’s n my sisters n I were her sole caregivers throughout her journey. I had my Mom watching you too. She loved your beautiful red hair. 👩🏻‍🦰 My sister has her students watching your channel now. Love and Blessings to you, Ali! ✨💝🌎💝✨

Eli, you have always been good about providing English captions or narrative translations. Luckily your video tells the story.

This was really disappointing. We simply stopped watching. I”m willing to do subtitles. Why???

[@mattbynumfilms]

There were subtitles, just press cc on the video.

[@harveywindbag9469]

Well done, Eli! This should be shown in universities and other public venues and events all across Russia. Even internationally. You will surely reach many community minded and environmentally minded volunteers across Russia and beyond. Keep up the good work!

This is very well done. I figured out only too late that I could enable closed captioning so my brain didn’t have to work extra hard to try to translate. I commend this group of people and the work they are doing to clean up the shoreline and restore her to her natural beauty. You’ve documented it exceptionally well. Nice job!

[@klarachiamarsi5935]

Эли, своими великолепными видеозарисовками о жизни разных стран и народов ты делаешь важный вклад в дружбу между народами. Спасибо за прекрасную работу.

[@jackieow]

This is true. But the larger problem is that even when the little people in various countries want peace, they still have to convince their arms merchants who profit from war to not be so bloodthirsty. As long as there is profit in mass murder, immoral people will continue to scheme and push for it.

Eli we never heard you speak so little & saw almost nothing of your lovely informative self which is usual in your great videos but your voice has never been so pertinent & presence in idea so important as it is in this stupendous & educational adventure. Thanks for all you do for fostering great international relations. God Bless you from America.

[@Terence.1]

Essentially, any good life Is about 95% maintenence, isnt it? Sure, its never fun cleaning up someone else's mess, but I'm sure this documentary will aid in motivating others to join in in the maintenance and renewal of this region. Good luck with those efforts. In some years, after all debris is removed, and the place is given time to heal, the beauty of mother nature will inevitably flourish. Like this young lady you introduced who moves forward, despite a setback, to volunteer and to dance⚘️ This is engaging, professional, visual storytelling. Well done Eli. Your talent continues to flourish as well. And what a vision you are in the traditional turquoise dress, if only for a moment... 🎉(i know, im hopeless😁)

Dear @ElifromRussia, a drop of water bricks the rock. You have gotten something in running, and the results will surprise every one of us. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏

[@francescocursio4523]

Hi Eli! What you had in the Arctic was a beautiful experience and one of great civic sense and environmental respect. All that metal can be reused for the same villages that are nearby after they have been regenerated. Furthermore, this expedition of yours showed us how beautiful the Arctic can be if visited and the people who live there. In fact, to survive, the Arctic first needs to be known and then entice people from all over the world both to discover it and to establish social and commercial relationships with the people who live in those places. I hope that this video serves to raise awareness as many people as possible and become aware of it both in the Arctic and in the whole world. Thanks for this video and I greet you with a hug.😊

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

Bravo Eli. Very good continuity and layed out in a logical order. You recapped at the end, which brought the whole story together, good job! If I may add a comment please? If you could allow a little more time for the for the subtitles to be on the screen? I read a bit slowly. Thank you for a well done project.

Wonderful people these volunteers. But the area needs a more serious investment, loads of power tools (angle grinders I guess) and either a local facility or massive barges to transport all that scrap metal to a factory where it can be melted. The landscape looked unreal, like a scene from the Vikings series❤ Amazing videography Elina.

6:54 Analyzing ice as if it were a type of rock is what started Laurence McKinley Gould on the path to fame in the world of geology. It got him the #2 spot on the Admiral Byrd expedition to Antarctica in 1929, as well as chief scientist position on both Byrd expeditions.

[@jackieow]

17:54 Here in northern Russia among the native population we see the same vocal structure to their singing as shown by the American plains Indians. Another indicator the American Indians came over on the Siberia-Alaska ice bridge during the last big Ice Age.
