This is our life in Russia in late 2022 / 2023. Traveling to Russia as a westerner has always been difficult, a bureaucratic nightmare, but this year is the first time Matt and I have really had any issues. We arrived in my hometown of Kemerovo, Siberia, after crossing in to Russia at Kaliningrad and flying to Novosibirsk. Once here and staying with my family, we went to register with the local authorities, but everything turned out to be a little complicated to say the least. This is a week in our lives here staying in Siberia as we hang out with my family and prepare for New years eve (the biggest celebration of the year in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other former Soviet countries). Welcome to a very cold, wintery Siberia.

I am Egyptian and I lived 5 years in Tomsk where I graduated from uni, it's 4~5 hours away from Kemerovo. This video brought back a lot of memories about Siberia, I miss everything about Siberia, the people, the culture, the food (especially Borscht soup on a cold day when it's - 40 outside) and listening to batareika on a sunny day near Tom river while watching the sunset. Despite everything crazy going around in the world I consider Russia as my second home and can't wait to go back and visit every single place there. Send all the love to Russian people

We’ve travel from St Petersburg to Sakhalin Island, from Vorkuta to Volgograd and between. I’ve been in some very remote areas, on the taiga and tundra.

Great comment. Well said Sir. Moreover, I think pieces such as this exemplify the power of this 'new' RU-vid medium as a whole. A legacy TV station would never provide such content as this. I myself may never get to see Siberia, but the curiosity I have towards it would centre around the hour-to-hour realities such as streetscapes, local habits, pasttimes, supermarket experiences etc. - the mundane stuff, or as you put it 'how normal people live'. I have no cares for politics or propaganda.

A billions of buildings was destroyed. So it is not just a political shit It is about real life of people. Russia attacked my country and doing genocide here, these peoples going to Russia and then paying taxes there . This taxes is going for Cremlin to attack us.

I know this video is about the issues of Russian politics at the moment. But I have to say, the scenery shots in the video hit me right in the heart. I'm Canadian, and when I went to Russia for the first time in 2014, what immediately struck me was how similar the flora was to home. Russia is the most Canadian-like country I've ever been to as far as scenery goes, which is a big compliment because Canada's natural beauty is extraordinary. When I took the train and looked out, and now when I see your shots, I feel like I'm entering a parallel universe.

As a Texan (southern USA), I completely understand! Our winter has only seen one cold spell and we never see snow. What a trip, lol.

This is a lesson in that when you remove politicians and zealots from the picture, beautiful life thrives behind the headlines and we are all the same people who just want to live a peaceful life.

When walking to Auntie's house, I was immediately stuck by the sound of your boots on the snow as you walked. That crunchy, squeaky sound is very characteristic of walking on packed snow when it's well below zero. I live in sunny Arizona now, but grew up in Montana, where they say that you aren't a true Montanan until you have lived there for forty winters.

@annecaunce Год назад

The other video you made at your auntie's house was the first one of yours that I ever saw and I've been hooked ever since. Great to see her and beautiful Siberia again. Happy New Year guys. Xx

But this girl really doesn't epriciate this, all her efforts are to emigrate from Russia. She doesn't want to improve her life here, she is thinking that everywhere better than in place where she was born.

Happy New Year Julia and Matt. I am sure you can find bureaucratic nightmare in every country. Very nice city center with lights and ice sculpture, guess made by some artists like done in a competition. I still remember the sound of walking lower than minus 7 and we had sometimes -20 to -25 at wintertime as well. These days I dont understand how I survived my childhood. Remember coming home in the evening from bob sliding and the trouser was frozen standing alone in the corner. Hard and painfull when life was coming back into fingers and toes, felt like thousands of needles. The main instruction was: dont pee and never eat yellow snow. CU
