People who live with the natural world and not against it, become stronger and exist in harmony.

this documentary should be awarded with oscar....the kind of work they have done is beyond appreciation, i have recommended everyone i know to watch this great creation. loved altai and tuva too

You can tell these folks are grounded and how small their egos are by the way each of them looks into the camera (or the lack thereof), by how comfortable they are with themselves, with life, within their version of reality. Truly they are Happy People.

Totally amazing. This reminds me of our way of life in Northern Canada. This documentary gets my memories and my blood pumping again. Life is an adventure.. Thank you for sharing so much. My heart is warm again. Thank you, thank you Robert Macdonald of Canada 🇨🇦

As an American I can draw parallels with the Russian “Happy People” and the American early years. A beautiful land where government is minimal, police are at minimum and people are craftsmen. Thank you for a wonderful documentary.

I believe that it is every man's dream to live as peacefully as you do. You lucky ones! God bless you!

"I will testify... then I will go on fishing." Truth right there.

Respect for the way they live.These people are hard workers.The men really take care of their family much respect

A marvellous trip into the heart of Russia! At 24:00 they speak of what we call 'black flies'. So many similarities to the North in Minnesota and Ontario! Bolshoi spaciba, Dimitry!

Happy People gives a different take on Siberia. I enjoy these kinds of documentaries. So thrilled to have chanced on this gem. KZfaq wonderful finds.

This is one of the best documentary's I've seen in a long time

Man if you want to be a beast of a man, learn how to survive in the Russian Taiga. These guys work hard to provide for their families enduring all sorts of hardships. Yet they keep their positive spirits and are very welcoming to anyone who comes to visit. Amazing people.

I come back to re-watch this wonderful documentary at least once a year. Wholesome and nourishing. It offers such simplicity and beauty that is mostly lost in the hustle and bustle of 'modern life'. . I absolutely love it. cасио!

Excellent documentary, I don`t know why anyone would thumb it down.

Canada would love to visit these hard working good people

Best documentary ever.

These guys are really crafty. A lot of respect for the way they live and thrive.

why why are the Russian people considered as enemies. The are a proud strong independent people just living a God given life to live

really shows how money and power and government and modern technology are a unnecessary evil . I no they need a little money .i love and respect this . I hate the city myself anymore .

These people really deserve a big salute

Must've have watched these videos about six times.....always finds something new ......never tire of it.....

Классно что перевод сделали! Я с интересом смотрю фильмы о культуре и быте разных стран. И представителям других народов наверняка будет интересно узнать больше и о России, особенно такой непривычной для многих.

Fantastic film! Thank you very much!

They live peaceful and work hard. I would love to see this place. Great documentary

wow these people are very smart and very hard workers!!!!!

I keep coming back to watch this great documentary it's crazy how 2 countries can be I pray with putin and trump working together we can have great relationship s this place is so similar to many rural areas in America with awesome trapping hunting fishing and being able to be self reliant on many levels thanks for making this documentary

sounds like a lot of hard work but very satisfying to live off the land cant beat it

these guys use hatchets to drive headless, 6-7in. long handmade nails thru rough-cut timber...building heavy-duty log cabins, dressed head to toe in the hot sun, while being swarmed by mosquitos, and biting flies.. "fucking HARDCORE" doesn't quite do.

Вот ну кто???? Кто те люди, которые ставят дизлайки???? Огромная благодарность, за эти чудесные фильмы!!! Они заставляют задуматься над тем, насколько мы неверно смотрим на жизнь, на себя! На окружающий нас мир! Насколько мы очернили себя внутри! Смотря эти фильмы, на душе становится так светло и тепло! И грустно... Это настоящие люди, светлые люди, именно ЛЮДИ! И они по настоящему счастливы, счастливы внутри себя! Они в ладу с собой! А ведь это, по нашей же собственной вине, большинству недостижимо... Спасибо большое, за возможность увидеть живую жизнь!

Thanks for sharing such a great video with so much knowledge and insight thanks

Fantastic and enlightening documentary of one of the natural beauties of the earth and its hard working indigenous people. Keep them coming for persons like me who can never see these places in person. Kudos!

God bless that dog. All hunters are nothing without a good dog.

Probably the best documentary I've ever seen.

These four films are wonderful. Thankyou!

These enduring and determined Russians who are living mostly off the land work very hard and enjoy few of life's luxuries that most people in the developed countries of the West do. They do not have cell phones or televisions or Grocery Stores to fill their cupboards, in other words they live in another world. Hot and cold running water is probably not available. They are living like the pioneer Americans did in the 1800s. The biting insects alone would be enough to drive most people nuts, I wish them the best and appreciate this very informative Documentary.

Wonderful documentary ... thanks for sharing this with us and we sure hope they can continue to be truly happy people.

Looks beautiful. Imagine being able to live in the state of nature without the government bother you.

Just insanely interesting! So many stark contrasts! We get excited about seeing a new iPhone and people in the Taiga get stoked about seeing new cucumbers in the vine. It’s the man, his dog, and a hatchet 🪓 interesting how that’s enduring for thousands of years!

January 2019...Independent spirit and dislike of govt interference fit many in America...I like these people a great deal and respect them...Why should people have to ask the govt how to live?... Govt should support the people, not seek to control them for the benefit of the few...

What an appropriate title, for such a great video clip!

SUCH good work! Thank you for it.

I'm glad they got back to the ski making. Fascinating. I'd love to learn ski making. These people amaze and inspire me.

Who is watching this again ? In 2020 ?

otchen interesny documentary, man i got to practice my russian

Russia is so beautiful

This is fantastic. Brilliant documentary.

Happy dogs, too.

Beautiful people

Russia is very beautiful and It is my hope to one day go visit Siberia hopefully my wish will come true !

Спасибо. Классный фильм. 👍 Смотрю все части.

Its actually INSANE that government can't even leave these people alone

The mosquitos...brutal. It would be eden if it wasn't for the mosquitos.

Excellent videos, enjoyed every minute, thanks for sharing it.

Живу на Кубани. Но ничего не знаю о наших людях, живущих в Сибири, Алтае, Приморье, Якутии. Если будет возможность, поеду не в гнилой запад, а в наши родные русские просторы! Дизлайки ставят стервы с брежневскими бровями и накачанными губами.

This is pure honest people living

the way we used to live here up in the north....now it is all parkinglots and unnecessery shoppingmalls and shit we dont need

2019 who watching it?

I just love this series

Wonderful living, beautiful documentation, worth watching, pleasant cometary, Thanks to all...

Thank you for sharing, 2 part of Happy people.. I se these dokumentar films very often..

this is a beautiful, thoughtful depiction of a people

Love this documentary. The nature reminds me of my home in Lapland in northern Scandinavia.

Excellent documentary. Thank you. 🙂🌲☘

Thanks for the upload! It's beautiful and relaxing for me to watch those people doing their meaningful work. All they do makes sense, you hunt or fish to have food, you make firewood and build houses to survive. I often wonder what I am doing in my office. People in modern society look for a meaning in their lifes and barely can find. It's not that everything is great about their lifes, there is alcohol and seems to lack emotional warmth, but I think, at least they do meaningful things with their own hands.

Toda esa sabiduría nos vendrá muy bien dentro de poco. Todo parece indicar que tendremos que aprender a sobrevivir con los métodos tradicionales.Quien sabe? quizá encontremos la felicidad que no tenemos ahora. Gracias. Por preservar esta valiosa información. Saludos!

Please make more of these videos. I so wish your videos where in English. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Brother!

This is how people should live

This is Beautiful , they have it made . I hope the know it .

they always have good dogs around. thats half the battle

Awesome series 2 of 4 SIBERIA 👍🏻 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

To an outsider like me, this looks like paradise. But what do I know.

Brilliant

i like documentary like this...im from philippines...mabuhay...!!!

The singing politician does not even climb off the boat.😅

Sweet Moses...those mosquitoes...I thought I had it bad here in the NC piedmont.

Greetings from Brasil

VERY interesting. The "aulos" or whatever remind me of Puebloan katsinas.

Eskimos are only allowed one caribou per year, so now they have to buy beef to survive the winter.

I'm watching it today 12 /17 /23

I know theres a big fight about this movie, something about Werner Herzog and Dmitry Vasyukov. I mention this because I`ve now watched both and loved both, This one has more and some different video then the other. I prefer the other ones narrative. regardless its all good. just love it thank you for uploading it. -Mick from Canada

Wow I remember watching this video in 1996-7 when i was in high school, I think it was discovery channel or PBS

I love to live in remote place city life is so noisy

What a way of life it resembles one-half of a century ago after the war.

Reminds me of my old home

Beautiful place ,very interesting . Thanks for your video . LIKE .

38:00 'the one that got away' :D

this is where the giant size men roam and live

No banks, no worries.

Very enjoyable and informative thanks

Love this

Wow hunting in an area as big as France almost uninhabited.. No wonder the game is so plentiful!

Amazing! ✌

Similar to apalachian people. Harsh life, to escape the oppressors in the cities.
