I'm obsessed with Yakutsk! I will probably never visit there but it's so fascinating. Nothing is more interesting that discovering a new culture and learning things about it.

[@VickyYakutia]

I am very motivated by the knowledge that my videos will be watched by people like you))) Thank you for your comment ❤️

[@Khatibanglafusion]

so true..🇧🇩

[@cookingwithkesia1741]

Me too

[@PonkChonk]

"That's my ad" The old lady's so adorable

[@VickyYakutia]

Yes, she is very charming!

[@sunriseadventures5459]

The frost on your lashes.. is CRAZY KOOL!!

[@VickyYakutia]

I'm glad you liked it :)

[@tamlarse]

For some reason I a obsessed with this country, maybe because I am so amazed at how they survive this horrific cold.

[@VickyYakutia]

Thank you for such kind words! It is very cold in winter and hot in summer up to +38C (+100F). I am amazed how our ancestors survived. That's who the real heroes are.

[@pablodelsegundo9502]

I think I could handle the cold, but the very short days would take an even bigger adjustment. And I LOVE those hats! And thank you for the dog footage.

[@VickyYakutia]

Yes, you're absolutely right. You can still survive the cold, but the prolonged absence of the sun is annoying. Well, what to do? We all take vitamin D ٩◔‿◔۶

[@QuantumKennedy]

I really like your video. I wanted to let you know that your English is spoken very well. You are very eloquent in English. Thanks for the great video.

[@VickyYakutia]

Oh, thank you so much for the nice words. I will try to speak better :)

[@stacygodfrey4939]

I agree!

[@brujildaespana6670]

I am very satisfied with your video because it's like visiting Yakutsia from my home in Spain. We haven't winters like yours but people is complaining about the cold in winter. I say them we are not in Siberia neither we have 50 ° Celsius bellow zero, it's only a matter of wearing tre right clothes. Greetings from Madrid. 🇪🇸💙

[@VickyYakutia]

Yes, yes, you're damn right! Yakut is not the one who does not freeze, but the one who dresses warmly! But still, many travelers are freezing here, as they are equipped in their homeland, and here these clothes do not really help. A few days ago, an Italian extreme cyclist stopped his trip through winter Yakutia, as he froze his feet badly.

[@stacygodfrey4939]

I love hearing about other cultures. I live in Alabama, USA. We are in out winter season right now. During the day the temperature is in the high 60’s to low 70’s and at night high 30’s to low 40’s. Last week we were in shorts, tank shirts and flip flops 🤷🏻‍♀️Our weather is crazy!🤦🏻‍♀️

[@VickyYakutia]

Oh, how amazing! We don't have such sudden temperature changes in such a short period, but during the year the temperature ranges from -76 in particularly cold months to +100 on particularly hot days. Watch my videos about summer in the Yakut village: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2nQZ2xugrx9h7c

[@frankfranko9023]

We all want to hear 👂 ur music ❤️🤗🙏🏻👍

[@VickyYakutia]

It will be soon))

[@PikeProductions23]

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: "You have to be strong to survive at -50 degrees." "Fahrenheit or Celsius?" "It doesn't matter."

[@VickyYakutia]

Ahaha, great joke)))

[@chattybeean]

I know it looks cold, and I don't speak the language, but I would live there for sure! This looks amazing!

[@VickyYakutia]

Foreigners are moving to us :) Soon I will show you our hot summer. The temperature rises to +35C (+90F)

[@lucyahmed4148]

Ah ah fantastic....regard from Genoa in Italy..a hug to all Yakutia and to you Vika thank you for your condivision!!...i don' t know if can life in Yakutia...too much different from my temperature that is here in Genoa...good luck and a good year 2023!

[@IanPryor]

Awesome video! It is so cold there, your eyelashes are freezing, that is crazy!

[@VickyYakutia]

Yes, it's very cold here, but it's very hot in summer. Subscribe, I'll show you both winter and summer.

[@markmark2080]

I just stumbled on your video and enjoyed it, thumbs up and best wishes.

[@VickyYakutia]

Thank you so much for such kind words. It motivates me to keep making videos for you especially in such terrible and scary times ｡(✿‿✿)｡

[@debabratadas9553]

Very very nice but very challenging. Thanks🙏🙏🙏

[@VickyYakutia]

Thanks. The other videos on my channel are much easier to listen to. It was just the first one (っ˘ω˘ς )

[@frankfranko9023]

Look how Russia take care of this place 💪🤗👍🙏🏻

[@VickyYakutia]

In the 70s, there was a project to close the city with a dome, but the melting of permafrost stopped such crazy ideas

[@dma3932]

That would be awesome to check out that town for myself. Thanks for the vid

[@VickyYakutia]

I hope all this hysteria with the pandemic and the political situation will improve, and you will be able to come to visit yourself. Welcome )

So Beautiful and very interesting. We had a Exchange Student from Bratsk, Russia. We loved learning about her life in Russia! Thank you for your videos!

[@VickyYakutia]

Oh, Bratsk is in Siberia. Almost Yakutia. It is very cold in winter and very hot in summer. Watch my video about summer in the village: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2nQZ2xugrx9h7c

I saw your vlog, I enjoyed to watching, but since here in america we love our dogs, I saw them outside walking where they go or stay during night, I one family their dog stay outside feel sorry to the animals.

[@VickyYakutia]

No, all dogs spend the night in the house. And in the villages they build warm dog houses for them.

Interesting video. The frost on everything was pretty, but also scary considering having cold it is.

Thank you. Yakut is not the one who does not freeze. Yakut is the one who dresses warmly :)

I want to live there 😍

[@tonyr.3435]

Hi 😀👋 Thank you for making your videos, I like them very much! I have a question for you. Do you ever want to live in a place where it is warmer? I like to play golf ⛳ but I don't think I can play in Yakutsk! 😁

[@VickyYakutia]

Hi! Thank you for such a flattering assessment! Well, we lived in Moscow for seven years, but then we were drawn to a small homeland. I have heard that golf courses have been cultivated for decades, so if you try, then in 30 years you will be able to play golf in Yakutsk (.❛ ᴗ ❛.) But I thought it would be much easier to make temporary golf courses on a frozen river ｡ﾟ( ﾟ^∀^ﾟ)ﾟ｡

[@tonyr.3435]

@@VickyYakutia Haha 😄 you are very funny too! I think my feet will be very cold if I play on the frozen River! I am going to play golf ⛳ tomorrow where I live in Washington State, U.S.A. You are very nice and I will subscribe to your channel!

[@VickyYakutia]

Thank you so much for subscribing. Watch my summer videos. It's very hot in our summer :)

[@TechGently]

I think this climate would kill most of us, these folks that live there now have adapted over centuries.

[@VickyYakutia]

Oh, our ancestors acquired good habits for survival in such a harsh climate. Watch my videos about the Yakut village in summer. There are a lot of interesting things there.

[@thyronnestaana3355]

I like you. From philippines.

[@VickyYakutia]

Oh, I was in southern Thailand. It's probably even hotter in the Philippines. I can't imagine how you can live in the heat all year round (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆

[@stevenrichardson4659]

Dear Vicky do you have some type of sauna to get warm in Yakutia?

[@VickyYakutia]

Of course! Yakutsk is full of different saunas and Russian baths.

[@etghme]

Hi Vicky, how to get there by road? which airport to fly in ?

[@VickyYakutia]

Hi, YKS

[@ruththompson9369]

Can I ask what jobs are there and what you do in the summer months

[@VickyYakutia]

In summer we enjoy the sun, we have a short summer))) Yakut people are very enterprising. Perhaps the reason for this is the cold. The slow and lazy would not have survived. And many more in Yakutia are creative. We have a very developed film production. Russian film critics called this phenomenon Sakhawood, like Bollywood :) The IT industry is also actively developing now. The taxi-hailing app Indriver is a competitor of Uber originally from Yakutsk. We are also proud of the game development company - Mytona. Many young people work in the IT field. And in recent years, tourism has been developing in Yakutia.

[@pattskatoey3139]

How are you folks managing there in that constant cold.

[@VickyYakutia]

Well, the cold is not constant here. Hot Yakut summer with heat up to +38C (+100F) is coming soon

[@pattskatoey3139]

Vicky Yakutia I hope you do a video on the hot summers. But really even one week of that cold would be unbearable for me. Would love to visit there though.

[@VickyYakutia]

It's hot in summer. Yakutsk is on the fifth place in the number of sunny days in Russia. It's magical here in summer. And winter is also very sunny. That's probably why our ancestors were the first on the planet to come up with sunglasses :) www.selectspecs.com/ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/povjazki-dlja-glaz-iz-tkani-i-dereva.png

-70F or -70C? thankyou

[@VickyYakutia]

-70°F. There has never been -70°C in Yakutsk. The record low temperature of -83.92°F was recorded in 1891. The climate has changed a lot since then. But Yakutsk is the most contrasting city in the world in terms of temperature - the annual amplitude is 102.8°C. Average temperature in winter -40°F. Do not believe hyping bloggers who claim that in Yakutsk -70°C. They are blatantly lying.

[@uca9467]

For me -1 C it's cold 😅😅🥶

[@VickyYakutia]

Yakut is not the one who does not freeze, but the one who dresses warmly (∪ ◡ ∪)

É impossível se acostumar com o frio, mas depois de se mudar, você começa a ficar muito entediado)

[@Iquey]

I guess if global warming ruins everything, we could go here. These are places that are so cold that fossil fuels or biodiesels maybe, still make sense here, but not somewhere hot like Arizona that should use solar.

[@VickyYakutia]

Unfortunately, this is not quite true. Global warming is already affecting the usual way of life in the Yakut villages. The landscape is changing, something inevitable and terrible is happening. Will our grandchildren be able to live as carefree as we do in the unchanging Yakut nature? I don't think so. The BBC filmed a story about the changing climate in the Yakut village of Churapcha, it's not far from our village: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDUqItoqpucndk

[@VickyYakutia]

Covid-free republic. Less than a million people live on an area of 3 million kilometers.

[@terrym120]

Don't think covid can survived there with that level of temperature.

Yes, the virus does not survive at such temperatures, but in the exhaled air it is very even

I don't like the voice over. Would rather hear your real voice and follow along with subtitles. Otherwise, nice video.

[@VickyYakutia]

This was the first dubbed video, the subsequent ones are of better quality. Excuse me ت

[@KHLalekseyanov]

-70C?... Yakutsk has never reached -70C (-64C is still the record) in the 42yrs i been living here in Yakutia, the lowest temp was -49C (12/26/21). Now the location were i was raised still owns the unofficial record of -71C & official record of -67C.

[@VickyYakutia]

Please note that degrees are indicated in Fahrenheit, not Celsius

[@5anjuro]

-70 degrees in Yakutsk is complete bullshit, it's a click bait. Yes it does get down to -55 in December sometimes, but not even every year, but seventy. And I keep seeing these mislead titles from the local KZbinrs - you're killing your own credibility folks. Such temperatures were recorded (rarely) in the town of Oymyakon which is waaaay out northeast.

[@VickyYakutia]

Yes, I fully support you. But note that the temperature is indicated in Fahrenheit. -70°F = -56°C, so everything is fine.

[@narachannel1837]

Just found your channel and I LOVE IT!!🤍 I'm so obessed to see how living in another side of earth. I live in Indonesia, warm here. And I know i can't life in yakutia since snow everywhere in there my body will freeze in 5minutes 😄😄

[@VickyYakutia]

Yakut is not the one who does not freeze, but the one who dresses warmly. We are the same people as you. We have the same body temperature. It's just that our ancestors ended up here))

This book contains invaluable tips, questions and answers, and solutions to problems faced by anyone who studies a foreign language! Knowledge is power! And knowledge of foreign languages is your power multiplied by many times! Success to all in self-development!
