I love how no matter how silly and irreverent your videos can be, it is clear that family, tradition, and culture are very important to you. Thank you for sharing your culture with the world.

I like how Anatoli is just off-camera, ready with the shashnik.

"Once all that is done, _and your friends has arrived-_ " **puts tiny Boris** Me - *_sad noises_*

*calmly sipping water, enjoying mellifluous Boris voice* *kinda ASMR with snow shovel scraping* "I bought this samovar for 16000 roubles" *choking on water*

A Samovar is a Russian's best friend

*ASMR = Amazing Slavic Meditation Relaxation*

It's so sad because everytime he talks about home and family, he is alone or just has no family members around, and he talks about those moments with such passion that he really seem to miss his babushka.

Boris keep low profile because babushka sleeping.

This is more relaxing than 3 hours of meditation music video...

Its disturbing of how, it was all calming and then it all changed when Anatoli's part.

I don't know why I cried when watching this. I guess it just warmed my heart to hear him talk about tradition like that and it is a change from the usual content. (Wishing you all nothing but the best- Stranger

Man, the fact that boris is getting many views and gets demonetized and ends up with 10 cents per 1000 views pisses me off

note to vadim: do not piss into the well

Ooooh *Sensual slavic experience*

We need a Weslav Samovar.

9:23 Boris couldn’t keep his slavic ways under control for ten minutes straight.

Russians: Samovar is so good! Rest of world: But, what about an electric kettle? Russians: *I SAID SAMOVAR*

He seems like a really nice person IRL and the fact that he puts in so much effort into his content even though he doesnt get much from it is inspiring honestly. Hope you have a great holiday season comrade Boris

As a tea enthusiast, this... put a smile on my face.

Me: what a calm, quiet Boris vid Anatoli: davai, cyka, hold my shashlik

Feeling pretty cozy AF right now. Relaxing Boris experience. You should make slavic tea party, I'll bring latvian pryaniki! :D

Aaaa just listened to this in bed...woke up squatting

He Protec He attac but most importantly he bring tradition bacc

Everyone: Wow, Does Boris made a video without destroying blins??? *Anatoli and smoked sasuage appears* Everyone: Oh, there it is

this was literally the calmest video Boris ever uploaded... i almost felt it deep in me..

this video is very soothing also how to drink a little vodka, thank you Boris

The holidays with Boris actually feel like holidays. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.

Having a Samovar is also quite common in Iran. Literally, every grandparents' house has one Samovar in iran. And also my grandpa was a Samovar repairman.

You sounded like some Slav father reading Lord of the Rings Ps: do this more

"Pay attention not to remove any fingers, you *might* need them later on"

I'm in the coffee business and I had a customer give a Samovar to me . I'm looking forward to using this ! Thank Boris. All the best from California

Most slav programming language? C-mechki

"Always happy to see little Boris, keeping up with tradition".

I'm honored to day this tradition is still being carried on by my family here in the U.S. Now at least I have a way of showing the younger cousins how to make Samovar without boring them to death. Thank you, Boris!

This is fantastic. I'd never even heard of this thing, but I love the resourcefulness behind it. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, just thinking about the gathering around the samovar, sharing good tea, good food, and good chat. Thank you!

"Its world war two, the germans have hard pressed us deep into trenches. Blyat. But as the sound of distant shells and bullets fill the air, so does the sound of snow falling to the ground on this cold night. I'm filled with the memory of our traditions and families as I look to my comrades. Somehow, in this hell, we still find room to laugh and to care about each other. When this is over, we shall return to our families appreciating what we have left. My mama, my zhena, and my deti. God bless us as we press on."

awesome! you were so mellow... like bob ross the painter... you are "slav ross"! 😋 making happy tea from a happy samovar! happy holidays! may you get much semechki and adidas!

After all these video I finally realize Boris is actually a cultural man with face of mask

You can't spell samovar without asmr.

I swear I was Russian in a previous life, this is so beautiful and familiar. Almost got tears in my eyes. Bless you Boris!

Anatoli always lit

Boris the only youtuber I watch ads for blin.

This video makes me so happy. So calming and relaxing, and reminds me of my culture where we have open fires and tea in the woods. We have what we call Black Spruce trees here in Labrador and when a twig falls into your tea pot while chopping wood for the fire, its an added taste and a cherished memory.

I come back to this video every so often when I really just want something nice and peaceful to watch. Thank you, Boris. 💙

Christmas Slav Asmr is best Asmr.

This is the most peaceful video I have ever seen you make. We actually had snow in east Texas last week and busted out our samovar to make some tea. Sadly we didn't have any pryaniki or shashlik but we had chocolate zefirs so we made do.

I had been saving this video since I discovered Boris... Watched it on a quiet Christmas evening while sipping on my my own coffee and snacks, after a rather upsetting day, and I must say this video was all the comforting goodness I hoped it would be.

For the past 3 years around Christmas time I watch this video at least twice

Anatoli looked like the slav wolverine with shashlik in his claws We'll call him "Blyatverine"

I don't know why, but it transmited warmness and peace

That was so TASTEFUL! I wanted to see other "samovar" videos, and yours is at the top of the list BY FAR! Here in the states some people have these but it's usually a decoration, I've met people who forgot how it works, it's just a symbol of hospitality. So, Boris, you have brought some light into the darkness! Here I have the technology and the tea, but not the snow. When it gets cold here (not every year) it's really a treat to get out one of these and put charcoal or pinecones or something in there and boil up, and drink tea all day. I learned about this from Iranian people, who are particular about tea, and seem to think that this is the true way, especially if the small teapot is sitting in the steam from the boiler. People who want to follow in the Way of Boris might be glad to know that it's fairly easy to buy one of these online, or sometimes in Persian markets. I have gotten several economical rugged stainless steel ones that were made in Turkey, you can find this on eBay. They're really light and efficient and boil quickly just using little sticks. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration! This is still part of the Boris economy recipe series I think, even if the Samovar is expensive, a pound of tea supposedly makes three hundred cups, so it's very cheap even if it's good tea.

Out of all the ASMRs on youtube, this is the one I love the most!

I like how he’s calm and serious, This channel is truly the best content at the right time

This is the first time I actually... Enjoy, and even listen to an ASMR. But only Boris can make this experience, really slavic. I'm crying blin... I'm crying ;_;

Wholesome slavic energy. Just what we need right now

I would like to say thank you. This calm video never fails to help with my panic attacks.

Boris, i have to say that this video was incredible. I really liked it and i think its one of the three best on your channel. I hope when i will have oppurtunity to travel to Russia I will buy my own samovar and will use it for some special and enjoyable moments with my friends or family. Also i really like that you even after 2 years and huge succes on youtube still have your own slavic style. Although you changed my life a little bit. The way I think, the way I speak,what I eat. I even started searching more about slavic mythology and culture. With my friend we tried 4 your recipes and they went out blyatifuly. Even people who were scared of our cooking abbilities and what we were cooking were impressed. So thank you Boris for all that stuff you gave me and others. Greetings from Czech republic, the home of cheap beer Matěj "Johan" J****** P.S. I hope I will be able to send you something very soon so be prepared.

Merry Christmas Boris !🎄take a break and enjoy your holidays with babushka , Sergei and Anatoli and the rest of your slav friends but most important , stay cheeking breeki 🎄🎄

I would love if you did this calm, slow type of video more often. It is so relaxing. Then again, I don’t want to be the guy from the Christmas Pork video, so just do what you want.

I’m in a travel to my Babushka and just remembered that she has a very very small samovar. Idk what purpose does it serves because it’s literally 15cm tall, but I find it the cutest thing I remembered today. Thanks Boris now my heart is melting.

Вообще от души, аж до слез прям, как это прекрасно

Only true Slav can chop wood like that

I feel like low energy Boris is a nice change of pace I’d like more videos like this

It's nearly time for bed, and watching this video has made me realise something; Boris should do a series of slav bedtime stories.

Все тут требуют кто сталкер, кто хардбасс, но только настоящее славяне посмотрев это видео улыбнулись и душе сразу так горького стало за долю их не лёгкую, да пошли в кругу большой и дружной семьи пить чай с сушками и ждать чуда...

Boris your voice is very relaxing, please make videos of some Russian folk stories !!! It would be very nice for sure... Saludos desde Argentina camarada, feliz 2018!!!

I can’t describe the feeling I get from watching this video and the six year pork rinds one, there’s just something about these that make me feel like family. The traditions and personal history and just the care Boris has put in these videos- and all of his videos, in one form or another- just show that he is a one of a kind youtuber and a genuinely awesome person. Happy Holidays Boris :)

This video is so calming, like a true Slav meditation session.

Opaa new life of boris video *squats down to watch it*

This has made he happy beyond belief to watch. This made me remember times with babushka I have never remembered before, as my babushka is not from slavic roots. I struggle to find words to express the tranquility brought to me by watching this. Thank you, Boris Blin, and long live you and Babushka.

The hard bass scared me a little at the end just the video was so calm

This is my favorite Boris video lol

I feel so comfy and calm this video is just so genuine

WHERE IS ANATO… oh…

Slav ASMR... SMVR?

I still come back to this video from time to time. Its very relaxing.

I bought a samovar today in a small antique shop in Natchez Mississippi of all places

Thank you Boris my slav friend. A Samovar is not only russian tradition. In Poland Samovar is not much popular like 50 years ago, but its still in our slav minds :) Приветствия из Польши! Jakub from Poland :)

I was having a really bad day, but your cooking videos and country reviews made me feel a lot better. This one is the dessert, and I've watched it a few times. So soothing, but without overdoing it like some asmr videos. Thank you Boris!

Thanks for all the videos you have done Boris. I’ve been laughing away for about a year now. This is my winter favorite. Spatsiba. Tack. 🇸🇪

I like that nice and calming voice. It's so slav-like

damn pal...we do have a Samovar in my home (and in my grandparents coutage at our village) as well, my family is not Slav we are Pontic Greek but my grandparents brought this tradition along from Russia when they finally came back to Greece...its a damn shame because we just have them as decoration and not really using them...I wonder how different the flavor would be of a tea coming from Samovar instead of a regular kettle.Thanks for the relaxing video.

This is the most relaxing life of boris video i ever see

this is the 4th time I've watched this video. I keep coming back because there's just something very soothing and relaxing about it.

What the Blin ... I was expecting something to blow up , or a big USSR Hammer to break the Tea or something. Well Happy holidays !

26th April 1986 A wild Slav who survived the Chernobyl explosion tidies to keep alive in the cold as he gets rejected from safety by babushka for not drinking kompot. Colourised

Seeing Anatoli dual-wielding shaslyk with hardbass was rewarding after watching 10 minutes of boris speaking half the speed he usually does

It’s such a relaxing video if you ask me. Sometimes I just watch this to unwind after work.

I'm glad I know both english and russian. Have a good year everyone!

I believe that if everyone was making tea, twice a day, in a Samovar, there would be no wars - people simply would have no time left over for fighting. Yes, electric kettles are way faster, but hey, look at all the wars in the world! Therefore: The electric kettle is the Devil's device - the Samovar is a device for world peace! GO SAMOVAR!

Thank you Boris for all of your videos, they are all amazing in their own ways. Ive been watching this video every night for the past week because it's been helping me sleep. I'm glad there is just genuinely good KZfaqrs who just want to share their lives and make people happy. And also adding some of that cheeki breeki. Thank you Boris, please never change

My babushka has a samovar and she used to make me tea with it. I remember the beautiful smell of cherrywood being burnt and the taste of fruit tea made from her fruits from the garden. Now as she done it for me, i do it for her from time to time.

How relaxing

this slow hard bass I like

Three years later, and I'm watching this at 2am in 2020, remembering the cozy feelings of bygone days...last year. And secretly hoping for the snow to fall soon.

One of my all time favourite videos on KZfaq, It's just so peaceful and relaxing.

Ending song? Also Comfy Boris is my new favorite Boris

Every time I saw notification for Life of Boris new video, smile arrived on my face :D. And ofcourse, like before watching a video

I remember the memories i'm getting from when I was 5...... Helping my babushka cut the wood for the samovar...... Feeling her warm hugs..... Helping one little chick get to the food..... The taste of the tea making me feel fuzzy..... The smell of the flowers in her garden..... To this day, I still feel the taste of her chamomile tea, of her strawberry jam, and of her kompot, and I feel her presence around me....

I come back to this video every year around Christmas time. It's just such a nice feeling that even though I never had any of this, I remember the times like this. Thank you for making this so long ago.
