Do you know where I am from? In this video, I share my feeling and experiences being an Asian Russian in China.
I am living in China and many people think that I am Chinese but actually I am from Russia. Also, many people ask me in the comments about where I am from and so I thought I would make this video to explain more about Sakha, the different republics and regions and ethnicities of Russia, and some experiences I've had. In the future, if someone asks me about where I am from then i can just show them this video.
About Me:
I grew up in the coldest place on Earth - Yakutia. It's a republic in far northeastern Russia, in northeastern Siberia. The Sakha (Yakut), a people who formed from the mixture of local tribes with Turkic groups that migrated from the south in the 6th-10th centuries AD, joined the Russian state in the first half of the 17th century.

There are so many interesting stories and I was so excited to share it with you guys! I'm planning to post my next videos on my Patreon account until my channel will be resolved.

Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed watching your videos! Lol it's hilarious that people don't believe you 🤣, but I can also imagine how tiring and time consuming it is to explain it each time 😅. Maybe it save can you some breath to carry around a map of Eurasia (with Yakutia labeled) in your pocket so you can just point to it and explain that your ancestors were there before Tsarist Russia crossed the Ural mountains in the late 1500's? If they still don't believe you, maybe just remind them that China also has 56 ethnicities, hopefully that would resonate with them.

I'm from Kazakhstan and I have a funny story from my friend. Here in Kazakhstan we have a lot of Koreans as a result of deportation in Soviet Union. Mostly they speak Russian and have Russian names with Korean surname. So, two Kazakhstani Koreans were in a holiday trip in the USA. They were speaking Russian between each other, and one local approached them to ask what language were they speaking. They answered it was Russian. He then asked: so, you are Russians? They answered they were from Kazakhstan. And he said: so, you are Kazakhs? They answered: no, we are Koreans. And it blew that guy's mind. Two Koreans from Kazakhstan were speaking Russian in the USA :)

I'm curious about Soviet Russia "deport[ing]" Koreans to Kazakhstan. Was this after WWII when there were ethnic Koreans in Soviet territory from all of the chaos? Did it have to do with North Koreans (DPRK) who found themselves stuck in the USSR and they were in some sort of diplomatic dispute?

@@keldonmcfarland2969 Back in 19th century when Russia was still ruled by a tsar, there were a lot of Koreans living in the Russian Far East due to natural migration. Stalin transported them all over the country during the 1930s purge, including to the western parts. For example the mayor of Mykolaiv in Ukraine is actually a half Korean named Vitaly Kim, fighting in the war right now.

I am a college professor in Canada. I once had an Asian-looking student with a Russian first name and a Korean last name. Being a history buff, I immediately knew she must be the descendant of Koryo-saram (Soviet-Koreans). And I was right. The really interesting thing is, when she realized that there was a Lithuanian student in the very same class, she started conversing with him in Russian. Their classmates around them were really baffled by what's going on.

I think it's one thing to know this. It's another thing to put two and two together when this person is standing in front of you. I think every country brands itself in a particular way, so that when a certain minority group doesn't quite match the expectation, people can get a bit confused about what to do next. It's not good, but it's human nature to be a little bit lazy, especially if you have a long day and a lot of people to meet and greet, generalisation isn't great, but it is fast and gets things done. And if you're meeting them for a 30 seconds greeting before a 1 hour business meeting, most people don't feel like standing there for 6 minutes trying to figure out how your background fits into the world map. I've got similar issues being a Chinese who grew up a bit in Germany and settled in New Zealand. When people ask me where do I come from, they want to hear: "China", because that's what they expect. They don't want to hear "Germany" because that doesn't make sense to them. Basically, people tend to like to put others into boxes they can understand. And when the other person doesn't fit easily, things can get a bit more complex and awkward, but also more interesting? But to what extent another person wants to engage in that part of you is an open question and varies from individual to individual.

This is so cool that I stumbled across your video. I can empathize with your stories a lot, because I'm also from Russia. An Adyghe which are the indigineous people in North Western Caucasus around the Black Sea coast region. Having slightly dark skin with brown eyes (which is by the way not exactly a typical look of my people as well, but still) I have met with a lot of similar funny and confusing situations both in Russia and abroad. But especially with other Russians abroad 😅 Some people just get stumbled when they notice that I speak perfect Russian. And to overcomplicate things even more I spent a lot of time in South America and I also speak very good Spanish and Portuguese. And, you know, as I said I do look very much like some regular Latino guy and sometimes people approached me with "Hablas español" line which I can actually play along. When the conversation gets to "Where are you from?" parts it is where things get really complicated.

As we were getting close, I noticed he likes visiting Russian websites. “Are you learning Russian?” “No, I’m from Russia”.

It baffles me how many adults don't understand how borders work. Borders are man made. A language/tribe/culture etc doesn't begin/ end where the border begins/ends. Sometimes borders were drawn up the way there were, because of colonization other times, because of wars and various other reasons. Especially a country as big as Russia that spans over so many timezones and land, it's obvious that not everyone will look the same. Borders are man made, just keep that in mind. What bothers me more are the Russians who won't believe her. Don't they learn about their own country and it's people?!

I live in the Volga region (Russia), we have many nationalities here. Russians, Tatars, Chuvashs, Mordovians and many others. Therefore, we are used to the fact that if a person does not look like you, this does not mean that he is a foreigner. 😃 In general, the diversity of nationalities and mentalities in one country (not to mention religions) makes us more flexible. And such behavior, like the people you talked about, only shows their limitations and bad manners. I’m glad that Russia is so different. There would be more authors like you who talk about her little-known facts. It's amazing how many languages ​​you know... Fantastic. ❤️

Дальневосточники практически все, кто там родился и вырос, могут отличить китайца от японца, а японца и китайца от якута и бурята. Я из Владивостока, легко определяю, идет китайская туристическая группа, японская или корейская. На интуитивном уровне, плюс языки разные и я на слух знаю, как звучит японский, а как китайский. И, естественно, я их никогда не перепутаю по внешности с филиппинцами, к примеру. Для москвича же все будут, плюс-минус, на одно лицо. Также моя мама из Читы и я вычислю бурята и смогу его отличить от казаха, т.к все детство я проводила в читинской области и даже знаю несколько бурятских слов, им меня научил мой русский дед. Он обожал говорить по-бурятски 😊 И у него был друг, бурят Миша. Даже по говору где-нибудь в поезде могу догадаться, что человек из Улан-Уде или Читы.

I believe it. I was in Moscow and there is a melting pot not know in the west where russians aren't at all all blonde and slavic. It is a "former" empire that cross europe and asia, and you can see lot of russians with dark hair. Russia is know as a slavic country, with slavic people, but the slavic fenotype generated up in the north arund novgorod like the germanic one was in scandia and coastal germany. But there were a lot of ugro finnic tribes so the original slavic people must had some finnic features. For example, Putin to me is more like a mix of finninh and slavic. he is not tall, while slavic men are tall generally, he ha a large forehead like finnish people. And of course is blonde. his face is slavic: triangular with thinlips. Slavic people conquered south and east so they met tatars, some people of ancient iranic descent in the volga region, caucasian people, then all the asian minorities in the east. And there are a lot of mixed people so it is possibile to see a long, thin girl with prominent cheekbones, blue mongoliand eyes and blondish eyes. usually eroasin had asian face and european body. It is not known this melting pot because few russians lives elsewhere and russia is not a popular destination.

Some people is very ignorant and prejudiced but I have no idea why they would think all Russians are blonds with blue eyes when not even Scandinavians are (maybe the Dutch?) On the other hand it baffles me even more that not even Mediterraneans seem aware of the Mediterranean diversity: it's not all about skin and hair color, in fact pigmentation is a very secondary trait in West Eurasia, and Mediterraneans are more diverse and structured than Northern Europeans: it's apparent in the genetics but it's also apparent in the looks: there may be some overalp but each Mediterranean peninsula is quite different and I'm pretty sure I would have a very high score, well above 80% or maybe even 90% accuracy, if asked to blindly classify Iberians, Italians and Balcanics even from just mere photos, they are not at all like each other.

I just discovered your channel and am SOOOO happy to see some asian russian representation!!!!! My mom is from Kalmykia, a republic in the Western side of russia in europe, but we descend from mongolia and look asian. I am American but treasure my mom's native culture and am currently learning russian, about my kalmykian heritage, and about buddhism, which they practice. Thank you so much for sharing your story!! Whenever I tell people I am russian, they are confused too.

This video is so relatable to some of my friends. I'm from India and we too have a region where people look "Asian". They are from the North East of India. These people have their own culture and history but many people even within India will call them Chinese or maybe Southeast Asian. It is sad how basic geographical and ethnic information about one's country is not given properly at basic school level.

As a born Canadian, I have been taught almost nothing about Russia, and I'm so thrilled I found your channel for me to learn more and share with my children. I think Russia is and will be increasingly more important on the world stage in the next few years. Good natured sensible people with strong ethics. Thank you!!

Hello. There are a lot of ethnic groups living on the territory of Russia. Read about the Yakuts, Buryats, Tatars, Chuvash, Mordvins, Komi Permians and so on. There are a lot of us) I'm a half-breed myself and I'm proud of it. And it is very strange that this fact is hidden from such a "diverse" Western world, because our cultures learned to coexist together a long time ago. Not without wars, of course, in the past, but who hasn't had them? Now Russia is full of Orthodox churches, Islamic mosques, Buddhist temples, nomadic peoples, and someone still considers himself an atheist. I think that's why foreigners are not told about Russia in detail. Why talk about a place where a person can be himself, live on his own land and live a free life.

Thank you for sharing!! Learned a lot through your vlog! I knew Russia is diverse but didn't know it's to that extent. I also like how you captured people using creative methods to start cold engines in Yakutia during winter in your other video. Really like their ingenuity! 👍 Last time I visited Alaska, I noticed there were lots of engine heater plugs available for parked cars on streets. Visiting from a warm place, it was a culture shock to me

Also , i can relate a bit to you in this video . I am half Cuban half Palestinian and i was born in Jordan , so i'm all 3 , hahahhahahahah, the thing is that among Arabs they say i look like Latin people , and among Cubans they say i look Arab, so it's so funny to me , and i actually love the idea that i come from 2 completely different cultures and love it so much when i explain my traditions and way of living in both places, so i do agree a lot about what you said that you feel unique and having a different mentality , the funniest thing is that among Arab i feel Latin and among Latins i feel Arab , hahahhahha, it's so weird and confusing since i'm both things i cant actually say that i'm one of them . I like your spirit and way of showing the village and the way you live by filimg the people in their daily life , that is such a unique way , Good job .

One time while I was working at a Japanese restaurant (I'm Rusyn/Russian, but I grew up with Japanese, but I'm from CNY, but this was in WA), a group of like 5 Chinese kids came in and one kid I immediately noticed was not Chinese, they looked like they were from our part of the world (I was probably the only one in the restaurant to notice tho). (also, I can speak some chinese on that note, but not great. I need to improve both my Mandarin and Russian honestly! ) Anyways, when I went to the table and was crouched down to get orders we ended up immediately speaking in Russian and all the Chinese kids were dumb-founded by our entire conversation xD It was so great xD

I was studying Mandarin in China and I had many colleagues from Russia which were looking Asian, like Buryats, Tatars, Koreans (from Russia). For me that's not surprising at all... Even some relatives of my wife look Asian because they are Bashkir and Buryats. Whenever you have different backgrounds, that's a treasure. I think it's totally fine if you say "I am Sakha" even to foreigners. If they don't know, you can tell them, promote Sakha culture abroad. Nobody should dictate your identity. Ofc you are a Russian citizen, but regional minorities shouldn't forget their culture. I'm always saying to friends that my wife is "Volga Tatar from Russia". When I was living in China I was always saying I am "a Croatia born Italian because there is an Italian minority in western Croatia 我是一位来自克罗地亚的意大利人 我们在克罗地亚有许多少数民族 ".

I know how you feel, I moved to Mexico to participate in desert racing, and many people think Im Mexican here, its so funny. So in turn, I know how you feel and share the same emotions, I love it.
