Greetings from Ireland, where we also have lots of red-haired people. I really enjoyed seeing your video, is is refreshing to see ordinary peoples’ lives, rather than what is on the news. There was once a strong pagan culture here and some aspects of it survive. We have many ‘holy’ wells where people still go to pray and leave offerings, though their prayers are Christian, these days. And one of our most important saints is Briget (Bríd or Brigid). She had flaming red hair and was the goddess of the Spring, now the women’s saint. Please keep making the videos. I hope your troubles are resolved. God bless.

Elena many thanks for the second helping from your Udmurst village, appreciate the effiort you put put in to enlighten the ignorant among us.

Another great video. It's so wonderful to see another side of Russia and the warm culturally rich people there besides what we in the west see there in the news. Not to say all is perfect, but there is so much good under the surface and I hope to visit one day. Thank you for such an uplifting peek into a fascinating culture. I wish you all the best from Canada.

Wow that's lovely to see that these kinda cultures are still alive and kept well, lots of love from Tehran, Iran 🇮🇷🤍

I think the village life can be hard but beautiful and spiritually rewarding, yet most of people want to cluster in big cities to experience stress and pollution. Nice video, thanks for showing us the life of an almost unknown European culture that deserves more attention 👏

Wooow 🤔😮😮 Remarkable culture, so traditional, primitive and beautiful 👏👏😀The Udmurt people are fascinating and extraordinary !!! Surprisingly, their folk music sounds very similar to Polish folk music.🤔😀🤣Please make more videos about the extraordinary Udmurts nation😀

Thanks providing us excellent vedioes of udmorte people's of Great Russia it's look like paradise Best wishes for you & udmorte peoples from Pakistan

A wonderful, delightful video as always Elena. The connections between Finns and Udmurt, as spoken of by the hotel owner, are unexpected (to me) and fascinating. The entire video is charming. And I hope of course you resolve all issues in your life to a good outcome. However, it I confess my favorite bit is the funky music and montage in the first 20 seconds, very very hip and cool!

I liked the video. I hope someday, when there is peace again, to be able to visit places like you show us. Thank you, Elena!

Wow the Udmurt culture is so deep and ancient! I love it! It freels magical in a way. The finno-ugric cultures are fascinating. I am learning Finnish myself 💖 I wish to discover more about the other uralic cultures and languages.

Your voice is so soothing, listening to you talk about the nature is so pleasant and relaxing, like ASMR! All of your features on the Udmurt culture are so interesting and unique. It would be interesting to learn about the Udmurt language. I hope you do go and visit that woman in her village and film more natural beauty and kindhearted people. Спасибо!

Wow what a wonderful grandma, hearing her description of Udmurt gods was really interesting.

What a rare and honoured experiience the events of a remote Russsian village. I shall treasure the memory for ever,many thanks ,Elena

What a great video! First though, İ would like to express my wish that the problems that you experience are resolved soon. İt is always good to see your videos and this one is very interesting for me because İ write on ancient history and Sun God is important and found in cultures around the world. İ am also interested in languages Finno Ugric too which includes Hungarian and originates from Lake Baikal area and the ancient people who spoke it may have come from Southeast Asia though the language may have originated around Lake Baikal and even Mongolia and Northern China. Languages and peoples have deep histories from many parts of the world. Loved the costumes, the plains and cozy Russian village houses. Even the log fight for the strongest man was interesting. Everything to do with the forest. Wonderful vlog. Spasiba Elena!

I don't know what it really is, but there is something about Russia that attracts me so much, their people, their places and the great immensity of this country. Maybe I was Russian in another life ))

I really like your way of editing and your humor!

Thank you for taking us to Udmurt, informative and beautiful video.

A lazy boring sunday and along comes charming Elena with a lovely video to safe the day. :) Don't stress yourself with keeping up a video posting schedule. There are more important things in life. We don't know what kind of questions keep you busy. Just keep in mind that the future is uncertain, so try to focus on the present. If it's about decisions, and logic doesn't have an answer for you, do what feels right. I'd really like to visit Russia at some point, but all I can say in Russian is "I don't speak Russian." That needs to be addressed before. A flight from germany to St. Petersburg is a lot cheaper than to Izevsk, and I can probably do more there when traveling alone, like visit the museums you showed in your St. P. videos :).

вау! Очень хорошо видео. Now I know a little bit about village life. Thank you

Greeting from Southern California. Always enjoy your videos and hope you can continue with your travels. Be safe young lady.

great video ,always interesting to see other places and people ,hope you are ok and everything goes ok for you ,look forward to see more from you, take care

Elena thank you for another great and interesting video! The connection between the Finns and the Udmurt people wasn't know to me. Also I hope you are over the problems you were facing in your life and can make more interesting videos for us. All the best.

Great video ! The lady with the hotel was truly interesting and I am sure could go on for hours about the Pagan Culture. Well worth the trip if travel ever gets back close to normal. As an aside, the film " The WIcker Man" showcased a dramatized Pagan Festival in an interesting drama. Looking to forward to more of your videos .

Thank You Elena for Your most excellent videos

Looks like a good time, beautiful people

Another delightful video by you, Elena! You are very good at this! Fun and lively, peaceful and refreshing, and informative! It's so good that you appreciate and celebrate your ancient and rural culture. I think we all need this.... Thank you for this 'breath of fresh air' :-)

Wow! Always love your videos, but this one is the best! I would love to visit sometime 🙂

Hi Elena, excuse me if I write you so late, but I had lots of things to do. I hope that you resolved your problems and you can to be more quite. I found very interesting fights and the interview with this lady above all pagan religion and gods. I think that the life of Udmurt village is simple with little of technology, factories and others modern aspects. Another great video, congratulations 🎊.

Elena, this was another excellent video! You did a great job in your impromptu interview with the woman who runs a hotel. You asked very good questions and listened to her answers. You asked questions that let her explain and detail. You didn't ask those questions that only get a 'yes' or 'no' answer. Not every interviewer is as good. I could have listened to her more, explaining her pagan rituals and what her gods are. Perhaps you can go back and delve into those subjects. I too wonder what those people do for a living. Next time, ask people to describe their work. It was heartening to see the fun those people had at the festival. I'd bet they are mostly happy with their lives. Thanks for all your good work.

Love from Philippines 🇵🇭 this is very unique and the people.

That was a fun visit I always enjoy going touring with you😊😊❤️

" That's the village baby" favorite line in the video

Great video Elena. Stay positive.

Extremely interesting to see somewhere I'll never visit in person; thank you for sharing this 🌻 I hope everything will be ok and that you will have lots more adventures! 🌞

Удачи! Хорошо говорить с старик и бабушка )) спасибо и с любовью из США

Such beautiful country! I had to comment again because i watched again today. I hope your troubles can be resolved in the best way possible Elena, we believe in you!

Woww so wonderful place I like it

"Orja" (aria) in current finnish means "slave"... that is one of the facts that show us that the indoe europeans tribes who called themselves Arians lived in contact (it seems not a very friendship one...) with Fino Ugrians people aprox 5.000 years ago. Those tribes who now we called Sinthasta and Andronovo cultures later a part of them went to the south (Iran / India) and others stayed and the scientist link them to what later historians call Scythians.

Glad your problems are behind you. You obviously enjoy making these videos and because of that, we enjoy watching!

Very beautiful nature and culture

Another wonderful video from Elena the Beautiful. ❤

Great video!

You are beautiful. It is nice to see people practice their native religion in Udmurt.

Oh by the way initial music bit at the beginning was quite nice.

Лена, крутое Видео!!! Молодец!

Well...that was a beautifully constructed video, full of very interesting information, and with a wonderful ending, as if from a great film...very well done...

You have my extra full attention now Elena,as Pre Christian Spirituality is a massive interest of mine. I love all your videos though,your such a vibrant,inspiring and charming young lady!!! Keep up the good work.👌 Arv, from Australia 🇦🇺.

Fascinating. 👍

2:11 That lyric... is this a song or a curse? 😂😂 Awesome video Elena ❤️

I am American... I was lost until my dna test confirmed my mothers blood is Udmurt... So needless to say... I deeply appreciate your travels and correspondence

Good job great videos Elena you are so sweet and have a bright personality like a sun goddess

I enjoyed learning more about the Udmurt culture. You never really think of Russia like this when you see it, but deep down it really is diverse with so many different cultures and traditions. Everytime I watch a video of yours, the more desire I have to visit and explore these cultures. Thank you so much for sharing this video and bring some happiness back into my home. Really hope things are getting better for you! Take care Elena and see you in the next video! )

Awesome video, ! Keep it up !

Udmurt culture is very interesting. I hope to visit udmurtia, tatarstan and chuvashia one day.

I am an INDIAN, I like your videos very much,do more videos about Russian villages and its culture

wonderful landscape and people

Wow, amazing video

Love the "😬" at the end of the song. Reminded me of the movie "Midsommar." 😬😂

Many thanks for the pirviledge of enabling us to watch something very rare, hope to see you again soon, Denny Fernando , UK

"Blonde girls go to party's, soon you'll become mothers and will have to forget about party's". cut. static. Elena glances sideways, Heh, nice you got a sub for that nifty editing. Plus, your just so wholesome it hurts.🌞

I pray all works out for you Elena 🙏

Good morning Elena!

Wonderfully wonderfully wonderfull

Greetings from argentina,very far away!

Thank you❤🙏

This video must have taken a lot of time to edit. You captured the place and the people with your usual sensitivity and insight. Pagans, furry people, nature - all good, and you have left me happy to have taken the time to watch. So - before I go back to sleep - I should ask for clarification. Do you or don't you speak the Udmurt language? I know your family is from the region, but it seems you did not learn the language. Is that right? If so, is that common? Maybe you understood what these people said in Udmurt, but don't speak yourself? I guess my sleeplessness has me confused. I'm just curious, in any case. Thanks for sharing this trip by way of such a well-made video. May your problems be in the past.

Looks like a great place to visit. Country life is very relaxing.

I went to udmurtia at this date!!!

Thanks to you, I will go there instead of Moscow😊

😁👍

You English is excellent!

I can't understand but i fell good

Nice place

"Kyl" in udmurt is "keel" in estonian and "kieli" in finnish.

What are they doing? they are dancing?

Hello! I'm writing from Yekaterinburg. And you are from which city in Russia?

Hey Elena, you are really beautiful. Greetings from Hungary.

Hail from Indian pagan branded Hindu by Brits

why they put coins in national costume? to show wealth?

Hey Village Girl! Let's go to the festival and have some tea and blinis!! Afterwards, we will listen to some songs like "Ойся ты Ойся" and maybe you will dance with swords while I make your video for your channel. Then we will go to the forest to find some forest spirits and maybe hang some pancakes on trees! Ha!! Sound good to you? What do you think?

That's a viburnum pie.
