of course, Russians occupied many territories with groups of people that had nothing in commom with them... A little bit of history of this ethnic group: "After 1917 began a short period of national reawakening, the Udmurt Republic was created and an active national intelligentsia took shape. This helped a revival of the Udmurt Vos.[5] However, with the 1930s' rise of the Soviet Union the Udmurt intelligentsia was almost entirely destroyed, the high priests were declared enemies of the people and subjected to cruel repression, worship was forbidden, rural holy places, temples and family shrines were destroyed, and sacred groves were uprooted.[5] By the perestroika period, the Udmurts had very high levels of alcoholism and suicide, and low birth rates. Moreover, Russification proceeded steadily.[5] In the late 1980s and the early 1990s ethno-national and cultural identity reawakened, and despite the significant Christianisation the Udmurt national movement was entirely outside the framework of Eastern Orthodoxy, and even hostile to it.[5]"

Freckles and Reddish hair just like Elina, Whilst from Australia we do apreciate the peoples of all of the Russian federation and many of us know Putin is not the Devil incarnate the corrupt Globalist Evil forces controlling the West make him out to be. In fact I am amazed he has been so measured in his response and shows he obviously does not wish harm on the average person. Live long and prosper all people of this world, well maybe not the bad ones.

Others may call this paganistic rituals and beliefs but imo, it is the most direct, realistic and purest form of expressions of gratitude for His blessings and honoring God Almighty. I belong to a minority in my country, called the equivalent of American Indian. Watching this brought me back to a time when our elders did the same thing as this. Festivals held in gratitude for the blessings after harvest season accompanied as well by offerings to the lesser gods and to the Almighty God our elders called Kabunyan.

I love videos like this. As an American who's ancestors have lived in America over 200 years some over 400 years a lot of traditions have been lost and not passed down and I feel lost in identity/culture sometimes. I know where they came from so I try to learn about the culture and traditions but its not the same as being able to still live it locally like this with other people of the same background. Its just not the same 😔

I think it's because Russia isn't commercialized like the US. We have too many chain stores and restaurants. My kids and I like to play Geoguessr, and when we do the "where in the US" game, it is so difficult. Another Home Depot, another Walmart--where could we be? Anywhere.

Rus' was founded by slavs and a finno-ugric minorities (back then noone even knew about genetics) so the similarities are pretty common. there are also similarities with tatars. we lived together for centuries, it's no wonder we have cultural crossovers.

[@kedwin.gutierrez6242]

​​@@retroas2683What surprises me is that the Rus (or Slavs in general) could coexist peacefully and exchange culture and customs with other totally different peoples, this is not the case for the rest of the Europeans who literally massacred the peoples who inhabited the lands that they colonized, such as in the United States, Canada or Australia, how did they achieve that? What is the reason why the Slavic expansion way is so different from the Germanic/Roman/English expansion way?
