Thank you for watching the video 👍🏻 📍here you can find more of my content and support the channel www.patreon.com/elifromrussia

I am ethnically Bashkir but was adopted and brought to the US at a young age and have never known anything about my culture. Thanks for uploading! I want to try to make chak chak at home.

Eli, you need to hire your entire family to appear in your videos. They are all so funny!

The blonde girl sitting next to you is full of vitality and happiness. I like this character, and most importantly, she is natural in her behavior.

This video makes me good vibes and I all the time just laughted. Your sisters have a lot of positive energy. I love watching your videos. Hugs from Poland! 😘🫶🏼

Eli, I am a 65 year old attorney in NJ in the US and I think you do more to make Russia a real place with real people instead of all the negative stuff we here in the US, I will never travel to Russia or to any of the places you go, but I love watching you journeys and especially now your family, and your young brother, the best chef in the world, is just the best !!!!!! where is his site, thanks :)

You have an incredible family and all seem so happy. Good luck to you all for thr future!

So much variety of people in Rusia, cheers from Xela, Mayaland: Guatemala, central america.

Bashkortostan is nice...I'm from the Netherlands but I lived in Russia for 7 years with my wife. In Kazan. One day I said. THAT'S IT Today we will have fun in Ufa! So we went there by bus...Craziest little vacation we ever had. Everything we planned was replaced by better things. We go on the street to walk, people come with us to show us the city. We go have a drink, the bar in a 80's style calls their friends to make it party for new guests. I repeat a guy from a +100500 video: Moskva g*vno! A Ufa za*bis! And we get free bish barmak. It was maslenitsa so we burned a straw doll in the forest close to our apartement and suddenly it was sunny and + 3 C. We will never forget Ufa. It was only for 2 days, but we felt good vibes everywhere we went. And that is only Ufa, not the rest of Bashkiria. Kumyz though...Yes I know that tends to torment your belly a bit. Next time you drink Kumyz eat some cucumber and garlic with it. It helps. :)

Your younger cousin has a near-perfect accent when she speaks English. I like the sound of Tatar. Thanks again for posting this video of Bashkortostan with your cousins.

Thanks for showing the traditional food culture in your native region!! Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Thank you girls for showing another interesting part of Russia. Hello from Malaysia.

The addition of traditional Baskir music adds so much to this video. It has the feel of having been passed down generation after generation. And recording your grandmother singing it is brilliant!

I enjoyed living in Ufa for a year with my Russian/Bashkiria wife and son. I would tell people that we lived in the last city in Europe and that on a clear day from our apartment we could see Asia.

Your cousin/сестра is so funny) I hope she continues to practice English and appears in more of your videos

Now that was fun! I have never seen three more beautiful women together before in my life! Thank you Eli for sharing your sister's with us.

Thanks so much, I am learning quite a lot about Russia as a whole and doing so I truly love it more day by day! A friend from northern Ontario, Canada.

Hi, Eli! Your energetic sister is quite a lovely character. Love her!!😘

I am from SOMALIA, EAST OF AFRICA . GOOD TO SEE again.

Wow look incredible city ☺️❤️

This opening sequence is amazing 😍 👏

same food (korot) which mean dried we turkmen in north of iraq we also eat it made by yugurt which is turkish word not english with bugda wheat and then we dry it and eat it in winter and i have been so happy to hear your grand mother singing in turkish old traditional song with my all love to you and your big family

Love your watching your show. Very good information from Russia which most in the West were unaware

It's good to have you back Eli , on the move again in different parts of Russia 🇷🇺🇭🇲

When you moved from your family and made other video’s I immediately started to miss them and the videos. Thanks for bringing more !

The fact there is so much diversity and yet people still can relate and get along is one of the wonders of Russia. Thanks for shining a light on another region of Russia I knew nothing about, and there was nothing in that food I would turn my nose up at. You and your sisters are a comedy troupe, and it was very entertaining. Thanks for sharing, Eli. A lovely treat for my weekned.

Просто классно как вы веселитесь вместе и тем временем даже учите и показываете нас так много интересного из этого региона России! Спасибо вам большое за эти чудесные впечатления! И действительно круто, что твоя подруга учит немецки! Ей с этим самых успехов и с моей стороны большого уважения! Как и русский язык это мой родной язык нелегко учиться.😉Пока из Германии!

I love music in the restaurant, Arabic and North African music ! I can travel in Russia with your vidéo thank you so much 🫶🏽

Russia is a very interesting country with so many cultures and places

« I’ll google it. » Priceless 😂

Watching as a Turkish person made me realize once more how much we all have in common. I hope I can visit and explore Ufa and Kazan one day and meet people

Three beautiful sisters! More, please.

Wishing us all to have fun friends like these!

😂😂😂😂please KEEP bring your sisters into your vlogs;; SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH YOUR COUSIN😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤ OMG can’t stop laughing😂 very beautiful

I read the sign outside of that cafe where you tried the food, it was written Chaihane, in Turkish it is Çayhane, so it is the same. Tavuk is chicken also in Turkish. Horse milk is also called Kımız in Turkish.

Beautiful. Great family. Great video. So good to see you smiling and hear you laughing.

Good evening to the 3 beautiful ladies.a simple leaving such as in the province's of the Philippines.thank's eli to sharing with your KZfaq channel.godbless you

Your sister speaks great English. Eli, you need to invite them along more often, you ladies are super!

Elina (now there is a lovely name) you and your sisters seem like you would be a lot of fun to hang around with.

Thanks!

My dear girl, such nice , warm videos can only be made from someone with a big heart :) Quite apart from such good reason. ♥ Thank you!

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing. You and your sisters are a real joy!

Excellent video!

Your videos are very informative about the many cultures forming the Russian nation. Your way of informing outsiders is simple, fun and informative. I like your sisters who make a great team and show warmth in your family.

Very nice video, looks like you're having fun! The food looked very tempting. Another beautiful place you have taken us to. Thank you!

G'day from Australia 🇦🇺. Love your videos, keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing you down under someday 🙏🏼

Great fun to watch and experience. Ufa, Bashkortostan and Tatarstan are most definitely on my wishlist. Very happy, fun loving sisters and interesting food.

Wow 😳 Eli, you always do a great job,and your 2 friends are cute 😘, have no fear 🙏

Love your spirit and joy, another awesome video

Another great video! Eli posts. Within an hour she garners over 3600 views and 787 Thumbs Up. Congratulations, Eli, on making your channel such a delightful success!

Good to see you again.Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️

обожаю ОФО . В течении 10 лет, 2 раза в год мы туда ездили. Теперь хочу, уже в одного поехать и еще окунуться в прошлое когда моя жена была жива.

You girls were very fun to watch. And your culinary "evaluations" was very entertaining. Elina, you MUST go to the villages and sample their foods there for comparisons sake. You cannot tease all of your fans with just a small bit of food. And take your sisters too. Especially your sisters. Thanks for the fun.

Hello Eli👋🏻 this video was so much fun! You girls reminded me of me and my cousins 😄😙💃🏼💃🏽💃♥️

Eli are leading your life in a very interesting country. And you make good videos, whit nice people around. What ever you do, keep it going.

Thank you, as always, for sharing. You 3 look like loads of fun and the town looks very interesting.

You guys crack me up. You ladies remind me of my daughters finding fun wherever they can. Thanks for sharing I loved it.

Always happy to see you have uploaded a new video.

I love this video, Elina. Your cousins are awesome. You should make more videos with those two girls. Maybe some videos cooking with your 12 year old cousin Mansur. Maybe more family videos with your uncle, aunt, grandmother. You have a wonderful family, Elina. Thanks.

Eli has a fantastic style. At first it seems much like a tourism video of the region, but then we cut to her and her 2 'sisters'. Their adventure through the city was such a joy. The blonde cousin is a natural on camera, and her limited English was a positive not a negative, as she switched between languages. And it was a surprise to hear the other cousin at the end, who seemed so shy, to talk about her thoughts about leaving.

Looks like you girls were having fun , enjoyed the video very entertaining

I love your sister she seems fun

Ciao da Italia, Firenze. A Bosnian here. Allora in Bashkir language chai-hana is tea shop, right? È molto simile al turco. In Bosnia abbiamo nomi simili. Kafana (Kafa-hana) is a coffee shop. It is cool that you also have a mix of Turkic/sh and Slavic lexicon like we in Balkan have. Beautiful Euro/Asian mixture you Bashkir and Tatar people are. Right in the middle. Meravigliose!

Russia has great culture, love to Russia.

Fantástico! Alegria! Muita comida com aparência maravilhosa, foi ótimo!

Your family is so much fun! Each of you should have your own KZfaq channel.

Love seeing you with your "sisters", would really like to meet your Mom. Family helps complete the picture. Loved seeing your Dad months back.

Your videos are so nice! Thank you for sharing

спасибо что посетили Башкортостан. большое спасибо 🥰

Wow! Would love to visit!

3 beautiful ladies! lovely.

So delicious. Would like to be there. This video gave me a lot of cooking ideas

Thanks for this video Eli!

The three of you are so much fun together! Please keep making videos with your sisters 😁💕

That was fun! I would definitely love to try some Bashkir cuisine. I'm not a milk drinker though...lol I'm sharing this video on my Facebook page with all my friends!

Thanks eli for making my day, your food looks delicious and i say it been an extremly picky eater . Hope to see you soon, give love to the girls.

Elinochka, by the dicatate of your sister TAKE US TO DISTANT VILLAGES hahaha 🤣… anyway, super video with great content… beautiful women eating delicious food in an exotic local… the perfect algorithmic content formula. Your sister is a trip and I’m surprised if she doesn’t start her own channel… and your channel is an addiction for me… keep up the great work😉!

Nice video Eli !! And nice family👩‍👩‍👧 (and please ignore or delete the trolls)

The milk products and the pastries of the cuisine all look and sound familiar even though I never had any chak chak or kımız in my life. We have a similar looking drink called “ayran”. The word for chicken seems to be identical: tavuk. Also I think three of you not giving up the Tatar language can be useful. It’s a connection to many others and the Turkic world. The sister studying linguistics could add a lot to her skills with relatively small effort. Thanks for these informative videos.

Eli sister is amazing. So much joy!

You are funny girls 😄😂👏🏻❤️

Lots of love from Canada.🥰

Thank you so so much for making such a lovely video about my homeland! Right now I'm studying at Moscow, and this video felt like a breath of fresh air, a piece of home. Love your videos, keep doing what you do!

So much fun. May it always be that way for you girls

Eli, wonderful video! Very entertaining interesting and informative. Your family is funny. I can't wait until the next adventure. Thank you.

You’re all beautiful ladies. Thank you for taking us to the cultural spots in your country. I wish I was younger in order to visit all these places. Not sure I could go into the water in such cold temperatures. God Bless!

Your sister is very expressive. She should become an actor

Eli, just to let you know and hopefully to put a big smile on your face, I give you a Thumbs Up before any video you upload starts playing! Great content as always! Keep the great work.

Люблю, люблю, люблю твои видео. Россия - такое удивительное место, и люди здесь такие разные. продолжайте в том же духе, я бы хотел, чтобы канал Discovery предоставил вам платформу, чтобы показать миру самую сокровенную тайну, насколько прекрасен ваш мир. Я думал, что буду умным и воспользуюсь гугл-переводчиком, надеюсь, он сработает. Привет от англичанина, живущего в Аризоне.

One more hit from Eli and the local ladies teaming up on this video. The food looks nice 👍 . On the top of it the youngest lady and its university studies with English as major says a lot , open mind and no culture cancelation, way to go!

Thank you. Great video. Love seeing more of your family. You are all really charming. Good luck with your project. You make the world a better place. Please don’t stop.

Funny to hear the Moroccan music on the background 😄

Russia's multi-culturality, is an inspiration for the rest of the World! Your "sisters" are great! I forgot the name of the blonde..but i could easily cook for her some portuguese food..or just a coffee.. ..if i was younger..

Очень интересная кулинарная подборка. Как житель тихоокеанских островов в российском обществе я был бы рыбой в воде. Но в культуре Тонги конина очень ценится как деликатес. Что касается самоанцев, то у моих предков была менее, как я бы сказал, менее уважаемая кулинарная кухня, особенно во время войн, что заставило бы вас съежиться, поэтому я не буду вдаваться в подробности. 😂 Мои предки были воинами, и то, что мы сделали с нашими побеждёнными, вероятно, заставило бы вас пробежать мурашки по спине. К счастью, в 1830 году нас цивилизовали английские миссионеры. Мы изменили наши языческие обычаи, а вместе с ними и наши кулинарные привычки. 🤭Говоря это, слава богу за христианство и новых друзей из разных стран. Теперь мы предпочитаем играть в регби или американский футбол, и мы изменили наши взгляды на фаасамо. К полинезийцам относятся гавайцы, таитяне и новозеландские маори. Более древними полинезийцами являются самоанцы и тонганцы, остальные группы полинезийских островов произошли от нас. Самоанцы включают современных таитян и гавайцев. Тонганцы мигрировали на Острова Кука и в Новую Зеландию как современные маори. Короче говоря, новозеландские маори - это действительно древние тонганцы. Гавайцы и таитяне на самом деле древние самоанцы, которые покинули Самоа около 2 тысяч лет назад. Мы все изначально мигрировали из Юго-Восточной Азии, что, скорее всего, еще предстоит подтвердить с помощью судебной экспертизы ДНК, из древней Формозы или Тайваня. Как австронезийцы и будущие полинезийцы, мы, возможно, изначально населяли Тайвань до того, как китайцы Гоминьдана вторглись на Формозу, захватили остров в 1949 году и назвали его Китай Тайбэй. Мы все знаем, что произошло с тех пор. В противном случае вы найдете элементы полинезийской культуры в Малайзии и Индонезии, на Филиппинах и, конечно же, на Тайване. Этнолингвистические свидетельства указывают на эти места как на наши первоначальные точки отправления на острова Тихого океана более трех тысяч лет назад. Таким образом, мы в некотором отношении старше современной русской культуры и большинства европейских культур, особенно английской культуры, история которой насчитывает менее двух тысяч лет. Как бы мало нас ни было... мы существовали дольше, чем большинство европейских культур. В любом случае, держите нас в курсе российской культуры и цивилизации, и мы далеки друг от друга. Но меня всегда интересовала русская, русская и особенно монгольская и татарская история вашего евразийского и многонационального народа. Спасибо за очень информативные и познавательные видео на ютубе. Ваше здоровье. 🙂 Very interesting culinary selection. As a Pacific Islander in Russian society I would be a fish out of water. But, in the Tongan culture horse meat is a very highly sought after delicacy. As for Samoans, my ancestors had a less than, how I would say, a less admired culinary cuisine, especially during times of warfare, which would make you cringe, so I wont elaborate further. 😂 My ancestors were warriors and what we did to our vanquished probably would send shivers down your spine. Thankfully, in 1830 we were civilised by the English Missionaries. We changed our Paganistic ways, and with that so too our culinary habits. 🤭In saying that, thank goodness for Christianity and making new friends from different cutures. We now prefer playing Rugby or American Football and we have changed our Fa'aSamoan ways. Polynesians include Hawaiians, Tahitians, and the New Zealand Maori. The more ancient Polynesians are the Samoans and Tongans the other Polynesian Island groups evolved from us. Samoans include the modern Tahitians and Hawaiians. The Tongans migrated to the Cook Islands and onto New Zealand as the modern day Maoris. In short, the New Zealand Maoris are really ancient Tongans. Hawaiians and Tahitians are really ancient Samoans who left Samoa around 2 thousand or so years ago. We all originally migrated from South East Asia, most likely and yet to be confirmed through DNA foresnics, from ancient Formosa, or Taiwan. As Austronesians, and future Polynesians, we may have originally inhabited Taiwan before the KMT Chinese invaded Formosa and took over the Island in 1949 and named it China Taipei. We all know what has happened since. Otherwise, you will find trace elements of the Polynesian culture throughout Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines and of course Taiwan. Ethnolinguistic evidences points to these places as our original points of departure to the Pacific Islands over three thousand years ago. So, we are kinda older than modern Russian culture in some respects and most European cultures particularly the English culture whose history is less than two thousand years old. As few as we are....we have existed longer than most European cultures. Anyways, keep us posted with the Russian culture and civilisation and we are worlds apart. But, I am always intrigued with the Russians, the Rus, and especially the Mongol and Tatar history of your Eurasian and multiracial Nation. Thank you for your highly informative and edicational youtube vids. Cheers. 🙂

Wonderful video as usual, Eli! The time stamps look professional and convenient. Your English is improving, though I always found it was good. Thanks for this latest video ☺️
