Vorkuta is a coal-mining town in the Komi Republic, Russia, situated just north of the Arctic Circle. Although it is actually the fourth-largest city north of the Arctic Circle, this town is mostly known for the fact that it is slowly dying.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, mines were privatized and many people began moving further south. Many of the mines had been abandoned and by September 2020, the estimated population was only about 50,000. That is down from 115,646 in 1989.

The story of Vorkuta is indeed very sad, but fascinating at the same time, especially if you like off-the-beaten-path destinations! And we surely are into that!
All areas of Vorkuta are full with old Soviet buildings that are now abandoned, with the local administration that sees no sense (but most importantly has no money for it) in tearing them down. The result? From most streets, Vorkuta looks like a GHOST TOWN.

My great grandpa spent 11 years in the Vorkuta Gulag for his service in the German army. He was used during the construction of the Salekhard-Igarka railroad in the arctic. He said that under each railroad track, they buried a worker, that had died during the construction.

@DaveLegenda 2 года назад

That's very interesting, thank you for your comment. I was lucky enough to actually travel on the only segment of the railroad passing through Salekhard and Igarka that was completed, the one between Vorkuta and Labytnangi. Hopefully I'll get around to edit that in a few weeks.

Fritz, these were not Nazi death camps. These were LABOR camps. it was not profitable for them to lose workers. The fact that your great grandpa lived there for 11 years confirms this. Most stayed in these camps for 3-5 years and returned to Germany. For 11 years, only a real war criminal could have been there, who had a lot of blood on his hands.

My grandpa (who was a American), was sentenced to a gulag out there. He had a Russian friend who helped him break out of that gulag, and they apparently went separate ways once they escaped. That same grandpa actually served in the vietnam war. That war made him so crazy that he started getting ptsd and would “see” that Russian friend that helped him escape and would show him how to get out difficult situations.

Great video Dave , I have always known about Vorkuta because it was one of the main gulag places like kolyma [far east for gold mining ] and Karaganda [khazakstan ] , but had never actually seen it , great English ,fantastic Italian accent ,what is not to like ? have not seen any of your videos before ,but I have subscribed which is very unusual for me on a first video , to be really picky here Dave the "lada " at 4.45 was in fact a "volga " , the lada as you will remember was a copy of a Fiat , this car was of original design , and quite a nice looking car , used by the police and KGB , there was a v8 version which they used [ sorry to go on Dave , but I can`t help it ] there were in fact some very nice soviet cars ,the handbuilt luxury ZIL 41047 limousine is the last high point of this , I now vacate to the rest of your channel to see what wonders and delights you have for me , with much warmth and respect from Merseyside , England

@danavipuzzles7308 2 года назад

Very interesting! I would imagine that living in a town like that, this must have been a fun adventure for Stephan. Also, as a native Russian and native English speaker myself, it's interesting to hear your accents in both languages. Your Russian is reasonably good based on how fast you speak it, but I could definitely hear that it's not your first language. And your English accent sounds kind of Italian or something like that.

@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 Год назад

Actually that looks like a pretty good place to learn Russian language - especially if your friends drop you off someplace where nobody speaks your original language. Looks like it's slow on paying work opportunities however.

I can only imagine how depressing it can be to not have any type of social life. If you’re growing old with your significant other then that’s fine, but imagine wanting to meet someone and perhaps start a family☹️😔

@SteamCheese1 2 года назад

This is how depression would look like. It is really an uncanny feeling seeing the manifestation of your inside. It's not dark... nor is particularly gloomy or scary. Just sterile ruins, constantly having cold, white light illuminate that what stands from shattered hopes and dreams. Cynicism. Cold, factual and opinions made from constantly being disappointed and abandoned. Like those buildings. It's just lifeless and in disrepair. That's how my depression feels for me. Yes, you can smile, you can enjoy life occasionally, you can even laugh. But deep down you know the moments are fleeting and will not last. That's when you return home. In your own little Vorkuta.

@@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive And then people like you show up.... I have read the bible 4 times. I was a baptist and catholic for a big portion of my life. I really don't care for it. I'm an Atheist now. Depression isn't solved by some magical Sky Daddy my friend, it's solved by Therapie, careful Medication, life improvement and alot of hard work. You're a predator of your faith, praying on weakned people in times of dispair. Which is immoral. But what can I expect from an ill guided and predatory faith? Yes, I know your Sky Daddy wants to send me to hell even though he loves me, yadi yadi yada.... See you in hell too, I don't give three hoots.

@davidknightx 2 года назад

To any Russian people here, just so you know, this is happening in America too (minus the extreme cold). West Virginia and other coal towns are dying here as well. It's not just you. This is a hard, but necessary transition to happen. The climate is SCREWED and getting worse far faster than many scientist predicted. The best thing existing coal towns can do is prepare for the transition to green energy. If they cannot and have no other sources of income, then the state needs to work on moving these people out and finding them housing in areas where they have other opportunities. Letting people just slowly die in the middle of nowhere with few resources is extremely cruel. Educate the people and save as many that are willing to leave. You won't save everyone. There will always be a few who will insist on staying no matter what. It took a long time to full evacuate everyone from that coal town that is currently on fire, and will be for many years to come (the one they based the "Silent Hill" games on.

@rycerzwiary2779 2 года назад

Well actually my dude this town with burning mines have no actuall connection with silent hill games, only with a movie. And second one is I think people from Vorkuta are well known, that it is not the only place on the Earth which suffers from closing mines. For example like in the movie "tall man" where is basically the same thing happend

@jamesgill3759 2 года назад

The coal mines in my town were all closed in the 1980s and it had bugger all to do with the climate. Nothing replaced those lost jobs and the town never recovered. It's the English version of Vortuka.

Just stumbled across this, enjoyed it and subscribed to your channel. Must say it makes a change from Bald and Bankrupt’s Soviet nostalgia videos, although they are excellent in their own way, too. You are doing a similar thing, but you speak better Russian, perhaps. In fact I thought you were Russian, until I read you are Italian! Keep up the good work and give Mr Bald a run for his money. This video was ace! Thank you.
