Life in a typical city in provincial Russia (Has it changed?)

This is life in provincial Russia. How has it changed? This is my hometown, Kemerovo, in the central Siberia, Russia. It is my first time back here in 18 months and my first time back in Russia in over 9 months. Today I want to explore my home city, the coal mining capital of Russia; from the center to the area my Gran lives and look at how it and Russia more broadly has changed. This is Russia in autumn 2022.

I am very concerned about you getting out to go to Uzbekistan to meet up with Matt. I would not recommend he come join you. According to the Georgian and American media, the government is conscripting anyone and might grab him, even though he is a British citizen. I realize the media can't be trusted, but I usually try to err on the side of caution. Nice video and it is good to spend time with family when you have been away. :)

No money for upkeep of your military vehicles. 50% of your tanks hadn't been even started up , let alone maintenanced and kept up to standards in 10 yrs. WE as a people of the world need to stop these megolomaniacs running our countries. No more Wars unless you're attacked first. No STARTING the war anymore! We must all stand up for the good of all people. No one man should be allowed to threaten the entire world like your piece of trash leader Putin.

Nice Video. I am impressed about how beautiful Kemerovo is in the middle of Siberia. So green and lush. The "fog" that happens in winter, also occurs in Alaska. It is called "polar inversion". When it is colder than -30 the smoke from the cars, factories etc. doesn't rise as it normally would because it's warm, but it condenses immediately and drops.

Crab Apples. Our neighbors had a tree when we were small children. A very unique flavor. 25 years later We bought the house that was once our neighbors, and when my brother came to visit he pulled one of the apples off the tree and said, "yep, that's exactly how I remember them". They are delicious.

One day while we were going over a maintenance procedure, he looked at me and said (okay, imagine the heaviest Russian accent ever) "You know, Chief, at one time, we were enemies. How silly."

I love seeing your town. I feel like I’m there, sort of. Looks like a fair sized city. Lots of construction.

Hi Julia, many thanks taking us on your tour. Listening to your pronouncitaion is already close to a native english speaker. Sounds very good. Funny to see you changed to english in the new russian McD. Guess and hope you will have a good influence to your younger sister and pushing her as well to learn english as it is a good base for travelling which she should do once to open her view to the world. Nice to see you bought from local markets to support those people. May be you can the translation or the latin name of the apple via a plant app. You are right that also older buildings should be renovated to get a nicer view of the city picture. Just a bit of colour painting can turn an area into a shinning part of the city. Stay safe, stay healthy and greetings to Matt as well.
