My favorite video yet! You know, I grew up in a village here in America, it was a small family farm and it looked just like where you were filming. Oh how I miss those days. I will tell you, the older I get, the more I want to return to those days. My parents and grandparents were alive, we worked from sun up, to sun down. We didn’t have a lot of money, but what we did have was each other, and plenty of good food. I’m in my early 50’s now, and those years living on the farm molded me into who I am today. I just retired, and my parents and grandparents are all gone now. But, I think about them all every single day at some point. The hardest thing for me was working all those years in the city. The noise, the traffic, everyone trapped doing a job they hated. But you stay because that’s all there is. I stayed just so I could have a pension one day. Now, here I am, collecting my pension but regret wasting all those years doing a job that I did just for a “false sense of security called a pension.” Isn’t that sad? Money can only buy you “things”, It can’t buy you happiness. If I could live my life over, I would live in a village somewhere and stay clear of cities. May God bless all of you young people who are reading this. I hope you find the courage to follow your heart. May the Lord Jesus bless all of you in Russia. -Stephen, Ohio U.S.A.🇺🇸

couldnt help crying at the sight of those babushkas singing...they remind me of my mom so much ...holy modest kind warm Russian folks

Kako divna duša ruska...sve me podsjeća na moje djetinjstvo...dobri ljudi,jednostavni,skromni i ponosni...Hvala Bogu što sam naišla na ovaj uradak...Sretno Russija...Pozdrav iz HRVATSKE

Hey friends. Aunt Galya is turning 70 years old on October, 16! One of my subscribers from India said he's ready to send Aunt Galya a few boxes of Indian tea once he heard her story about Indian tea:) I thought it would be a great idea if she received some presents/letters for her birthday. That would really make her happy. It's going to be a surprise! I think she has no clue how many people around the world are watching her. So if you want to send her a letter with birthday wishes or a package with a present, her address is Postal/zip code: 641905, Country :Russia, Region: Kurganskaya oblast, Town: s. Dolgovskoe, Street : ul. Zvezdnaya, House Number :5 TO: Baturina Galina, so it should look like this: Address: 641905, Russia, Kurganskaya oblast, s. Dolgovskoe, ul. Zvezdnaya,5 To: Baturina Galina

Thank you for this video. It can be more friendly than my street here in new zealand. Beautiful villages and many good people. Many colours and much love. ❤️🌏❤️❤️ Good people everywhere will see this and smile for country living. 👍👍👍 Best wishes for simple life and good friends.

I am 46 now. I have passed my childhood in a village of India. I did my graduation from Russia. Saint.Petersburg.I have gone to many villages of Russia. Till 1998 I was in Russia. At that time life in villages was almost same like in Northan India. Russian people r so nice and good,brave,beautifull and helping nature. I have seen soviet time there. Villages were so beautifull and so big witout any pollution .After atching this vedio I am missing my friend Sashha, Yuric and Andrey. I used to go there villages as a guset in summer vocations till 1st Sept. We enjoyed a lot. At that time Soviet Union was broke down and for a foriener it was very cheep to buy things. I remember on 4th Feb. 1994 I and Sashha went to Vill Krishk and on that day it was minus 44 degree celcius. It was Wonderfull day. Now I don't know what type of situation will be there. But life is beautifull we should enjoy it without disturbing any body. Ya lublyu vac Druzia. Ya lublyu kashdova Ruskova chalaveka ei uvazayu ot cerse. Love and regards from India. 🇮🇳

This could be my grandparents village in Slovakia. What a beautiful way of life and such good people

I burst laughing when they started to sing 😂. One of the videos that prove to u that happiness and peaceful life has nothing to do with money.

Villages are the best place to live Nice people Clean environment Beautiful russia Greetings from india

Beautiful. Love Russia from Japan🌈

Russian people are so nice! I have always found them genuinely good people and this video has proven I wasn't mistaken

I am Lalsinh from India .I have been to Moscow and St. Petersberg. Russian country side is beautiful. No people in the huge land mass. Your senior aunts are really happy and interesting. Like Russian folk songs. Thanks

My wife and I used to own a small farm in America just like your aunt's farm. Not much different than the countryside here. We raised dairy goats, chickens and turkeys. We use to milk the goats and collect eggs from the chickens on a daily basis. We even occasionally butchered a chicken or turkey for dinner. I loved my animals greatly. I hope to own a small farm again in Russia someday. This brings back good memories for me. Благодарю вас мой друг

Love that Russian Grandma narrating story of her past.. Soviet's village life. Still the village is very lively.. full of organic farming and natural life.

I am glad that people still live by the nature .Organic life !!!

Nice ppl greetings from Tennessee almost the same here except u can't have chickens within city limits most of ppl very kind we love the Russian village God bless them

Small villages in Tennessee, Alabama, Illinois and many other states are disappearing too.Thank you for sharing your family & friends.

Everything is natural. Everybody is happy, village is the best place to live in

Wild strawberries! Simply indescribable. The aroma, the sweetness, the flavour -- farm strawberries are such a pale, distant version of the real thing! 🙂

Love to see so many beautiful people, writing such thoughtful things... God bless you all 🙏

I love Russia and love watching Russian movies. I think countryside everywhere is almost the same - Farms, cows, goats, chickens. Your Aunt is so right when she said that back then people were poor but they were friendly, now people have everything but they're no longer friendly.

Corporate Main Stream Media is unable to do a report like this, that has so much substance and truth. It reveals more facts than any fancy analyst report.

Lovely visual experience. All good wishes and respect to aunt.

OMG.. this was such an emotional and wonderful video... it reminds me of my childhood in Norway back in the 60's. This is really one of the best videoblogs, I've ever seen.. thank you so much.

I loved your video. Thank you. I am an American who moved to Moldova (former Soviet Union republic) two years ago. My wife and I live in a village home where we grow our own crops, raise our own chickens, pick our own fruit, gather our own nuts and berries, and make our own wine. It's a simple life filled with simple pleasures. I love it.

With love from an American fan. 🇺🇸🇷🇺

I love country life and while watching this video I was totally absorbed in it and I felt like I am also a part of this village. Low density of population, free of sound pollution, vast open fields, far from the hustle and bustles of urban life. I wish to visit this place in the near future. Thanks to the one who made this video.

Such a beautiful village and lovely people. Good music, well shot and a very nice commentary. Loved to watch till the end.

Greetings from New York. I lived 2/3 of my life in cities. Moved to the country about 25 years ago. When I look back I always say "I wish I had been in the country all my life.". When I do go to town I can hardly wait to get out of there. Everybody racing, racing, racing. Too much of a rat race. Your video is most enjoyable. Other cultures are so interesting.

When I listen to your babushka talking about past soviet times it seems to me that it's the same story everywhere around former eastern block.... Im from Slovakia. People back then didn't have so much material stuff but somehow they had better human qualities.... and life was not stressful as everybody says. You were not rich but basically you had everything you needed - place to live, secured job, free healthcare and education, luckier ones had even some car - skoda, lada or dacia.... People didn't have to worry about being kicked on the street for not paying mortgage as they lost their job. Nowadays everything is money driven and life turned into some kind of race about who can make more money and get more stuff.... It's really sick in my opinion.

what a beautiful place.and a wonderful video too.keep up the good work.I really enjoy all your videos.

I loved this so much! thank you for the insight! I enjoyed this very much

Lovely and peaceful places where matters different priorities I am not Russian but I grow up in the village (Czech Republic) it was slightly different but I felt from your video that atmosphere and soul of the village is almost same. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you and your auntie

Those women are so funny, look like they really enjoy life, wish I could spend the afternoon picking strawberries with them !

you have such a good heart...glad to see your aunt freely laugh....cheers from Indonesia

thank you for this amazing video! you have definitely brought some memories back!

Village life is beautiful regardless of country , religion and time all village people are pure

Красотища то какая!🙏😊 Спокойствие и умиротворение, а закаты какие, а люди какие добрые в деревнях 👍

Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed it.

Pavlo, life was a lot simpler in the USA back in the '60s and '70s, too. Not this simple but you knew almost everybody in the town back. I remember our town had 1,500 people and s kids, we played until dark, sometimes longer. Now it's 30,000 and everybody has everything you could possibly need.

Great video. Your aunt made a good point.. everyone has everything and yet no one knows each other. I live in a neighborhood in Arizona where all the houses look the same. There's several hundred houses around me and yet I only know a few of my neighbors.

I really like your videos. I live in the suburbs of Metro Detroit and where your aunt lives looks just like going up north into the country in Michigan where I'm from. Please keep the videos coming you have a very interesting blend so many different types of videos. All the best. By the way you have quite a few people here around me that I've gotten to start watching your videos here in Bloomfield Hills Michigan

The most beautiful lifestyle is countryside!🥰.In the middle of nature,healthy food and water!Russia is so beautiful!🥰💝

Amazing video ! Well documented. Hope to see a lot more in upcoming days ..good luck sir !👍

Really love Russia. Years ago, I visited some remote areas of Russia. The land and forest of Russia is really amazing. So expansive and peaceful with friendly people. They look cold, but when you need help, they will come to you without any doubt. I hope I can go to this beautiful county again in the near future. Love from Shanghai.

Simply Beautiful, was even too short, thanks you buddy. French from Kazakhstan

Your videos are so relaxing, keep them coming brother. Thank you for sharing your life.

I love Russian village life - well it could be still saved with all its charm with some stimulus from the Govt. People in the villages are hard working simple and honest

Life in the Polish countryside was similar in the 1970s. In the 90s, the villages began to depopulate and now some of the houses are gone and other people live in new ones. That's how it will be in Russia. The old ones will leave, new people will come. They will come for sure. They will come because cities are becoming less and less human, more and more like machines for squeezing people out of money.

Hello there! I m from Romania, and all what I saw in this video it is happend also in Romanian villages. The people life in the village of your grandaunt it is just like the life of my grandmother. She is allso living in a village. It is exactly same, with domestic animals around the house, poor infrastucture and a loyal dog. When I ask about her past, always she tell me ,, than was better,,. The villages was full of life, people had more cattles, more sheeps and goats and they woke up early in the morning to prepare the food. It is exactly same! I wish to your grandaunt all the best and also to you because this video remembered me about my grandparents. Thank you very much!

Thanks Russian Plus. Nice video of simple people, and a simple place. Simple and beautiful.

From Madison Wisconsin USA, love your videos, the people and the villages. Keep up the great work!

Love Russia ❤.I'm from Serbia. Grandpa my hasbend is Russian. Krasnodarsi kraj.

I lived in russian for 6 years. And visited many villages, one thing I would say that russian homes are so clean and beautiful even in village, they are very friendly and they use to give chocolates and fruits in gift.. I love Russia 🇷🇺

That is such a great video, and I am especially taken by the revealing interview with the Aunt (cool lady by the way). Thank you.

4:27 I hope you are able to tell the lady that lives in the pink house that her hollyhocks are GORGEOUS! What a delightful vision: Red and pink hollyhocks against a pink house with a wooden picket fence. Joy! I live in Florida, USA.

grandma has always care for their grandchild when thy come home in india grandma has very spcl place she is the caretaker of everyone in a joint or nuclear family she always ask us about our health very careful for us i lost my grndma last year but never forget her care for us and her teaching to us.

I'm a russian guy, but I love this channel and I also like this countryside type of video! Russia has so many beautiful places with good and warm people living there. All their food is natural. Many russian emigrants-vlogers who lives in the West nowadays tell that people there do not even know how milk really tastes, because almost everything at grocery stores is grown up artifically and has no flavour, although it should have. These rural people eat healthy, breath fresh air everyday and work hard. So it is a life everyone should and could live. This world needs to slow down from a perpetual contest. So, welcome to Russia! :)

Beautiful video. I love the ladys singing!! And the delicious breakfast crepes

Love your video..Very clear . Thanks for the interesting sharing..you did an excellent video.

Wonderful !!! Same is in Serbia. Hugs for your Auunt! Love for Mother Russia! Thank you for this amazing video!

Russia is one of the best countries I've seen I went to Russia a year ago and people there can't speak English but there are so helpful, I love Russia from Bangladesh ❤️

Anyone else notice the size of the hands on his great Aunt? My god she has bear claws! You can tell she’s been a hard worker all her life. Cheers! Edit: her voice is so beautiful when she talks it’s like she’s singing I love it

I am a new subscriber. I've been enjoying watching your videos, Vyacheslav! Elena is beautiful :-) I'd like to see more videos of your family and how your Great Aunt prepares and gets through a Russian winter in her village. Thanks, Jade from Australia

i love this video , i was in the military when the cold war was on in the 70s and 80s and wondered what Russia was like . they were the unofficial enemy at that time . i always wondered back then if they were like us and i see no difference but the language. the people are good people down to earth like everyone else . Russia is such a beautiful country , i love the small villages and people there . i love the simple life ,quiet peaceful and relaxing . i wish that governments would stop the bull sh*t and get along . you have a great place to explore . i love your country the people and god bless you all . i would love so much to see this part of Russia. thanks for showing me the true Russia , the real people and the beauty that is there . thank you so much .

Hi Russia plus me from Kerala/India......nice video

thanks for your relatable way of explaining the live in your country. I've read quite some books about this period but your way of aproaching it is very good.... thanks for it.

Village is my growing up place. I was born in village grow up in village. So I Love village life 100% purely. I think village is the best peace full place for living with happiness than a city life.

Warm greetings from Toronto and thank you for such a wonderful heartwarming video!

Greetings from Bulgaria. There is nothing like having your own farm. good organics food is the bomb. Love you and God bless

I love it. Thank you for an amazing video.

I enjoyed your video.. u r truly down to earth.. thank you for sharing 😊

It's sad that countryside is disappearing but to be fair, this is happening everywhere.... It's not only Russian problem. Still I think it can be reversed and changed in the future but the whole economic model of the world must change. We have to stop transporting food thousands of kilometres, especially the products that can be produced locally... it provides job to local people and saves enviroment. I think this is gonna happen and we will see it during our lifetime. The current model of global economy is unsustainable, we're heading into planetary disaster if nothing changes.

Wonderful video. Thank you. Awaiting the next!

Excellent Job!!!. really you have taken to those days. Wonderful work.

Thank you very much for this video. I enjoyed watching it.

What a beautiful place and beautiful people. I could be very comfortable living in one of those log homes.

i would love to live there if i clould. i am currently saving money to hopefully get out of the city. спасибо, что поделились

This is the joy of UKposts- seeing a little bit of how people live. You would never get anything as charming and insightful as this from a professional film maker

Beautiful Russia. It's a blessing to know that we still have some beautiful and peaceful places on our planet like this nice village in Russia. God bless the Russians.

From Brother India🇮🇳 We love and respect Russia❤❤❤

Awesome video!!! I have always lived in larger cities and never had the opportunity to experience small towns in the country. I seriously cannot tell apart most of the animals in the video but it was cool to see you interfacing with them. I always thought most of Russia had mountains but the area that you showed resembles driving in the Midwest where it is flat as far as they eye can see. You should make more videos as this one!!!!

Beautiful video very good. I'm watching from Brazil thanks for posting

Greetings from the US. Thank you so much for giving a insight into Russian countryside.. This motivates me to visit your beautiful land..

Barring the layout of houses, How is this different from any Indian village? They say American farms are similar too. All across the world people are the same. Bless your lovely aunts. Their folk songs are hilarious. Much love from India 🙏🏼

I miss my village.... Thanks for this video. Greetings from Nigeria

The best video I have ever seen on Russian village life, thank you very much for uploading such a beautiful story/video

Dziękuję za bardzo ciekawy reportaż. Wspaniała Pani o wielkim dobrym sercu i piękne kwiaty. Szkoda tego świata, żeby zniknął. Pozdrowienia z Polski dla braci i sióstr Rosjan!

Thank you for showing. Just recently, a beloved Russian friend went to the countryside for a short vacation. I can't wait to see the photos from that. But now, I already have an idea through your lovely video. Thanks once again.

Russian people are very welcoming and friendly.. I had one of the best experiences last year during the FIFA World Cup.. Will definitely visit again..

Love your channel. Very interesting.

I have no idea how I found this, but loved it!! The songs were awesome!!

Much love from South Africa!!!😅

It's a beautiful video. Greetings from Istanbul! :)

Very interesting, I love to learn and see how people live around the world, different parts of the world, thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Thank you for letting us see life in your world and living the life you know..

Greetings from Nigeria

17 лет прожил в деревне. Там работать нужно по 16 часов в сутки, иначе там делать нечего. А люди сейчас не хотят работать, вот и разбегаются.

After my retirement here in US, i am moving to countryside of Latvia. I stayed there 18 months and I'm in love with that land

I love this video. Thank you so much. :)
