Hi Elina, I would be curious to know what is the meaning of that backstage painting of what seems to be a bull riding a fish 8:04 . I bet it stems from udmurt folklore, and even cosmogony. I have tried to browse the web for more infos, and didn't get anything in english. Do you have any interesting links to share on this topic?...

I love videos like this. As an American who's ancestors have lived in America over 200 years some over 400 years a lot of traditions have been lost and not passed down and I feel lost in identity/culture sometimes. I know where they came from so I try to learn about the culture and traditions but its not the same as being able to still live it locally like this with other people of the same background. Its just not the same 😔

I think it's because Russia isn't commercialized like the US. We have too many chain stores and restaurants. My kids and I like to play Geoguessr, and when we do the "where in the US" game, it is so difficult. Another Home Depot, another Walmart--where could we be? Anywhere.

Rus' was founded by slavs and a finno-ugric minorities (back then noone even knew about genetics) so the similarities are pretty common. there are also similarities with tatars. we lived together for centuries, it's no wonder we have cultural crossovers.

@kedwin.gutierrez6242 3 ай бұрын

@@retroas2683What surprises me is that the Rus (or Slavs in general) could coexist peacefully and exchange culture and customs with other totally different peoples, this is not the case for the rest of the Europeans who literally massacred the peoples who inhabited the lands that they colonized, such as in the United States, Canada or Australia, how did they achieve that? What is the reason why the Slavic expansion way is so different from the Germanic/Roman/English expansion way?

11:51 Tchaikovsky's music is not only amazing for its sound. He also had to compose it within strict time constraints. First the choreographer decided on her dance moves and sequences and timings. These were rendered into story boards like comic book panels, and then Tchaikovsky's music had to fit the predetermined story board limitations.

You are missing the point, Langermar. I know Eli's videos actively stay away from politics. BUT THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH EVERYONE IN RUSSIA! Most of the free world is sick to death of "Russian Culture" (this is an oxymoron if ever there was one) and sick of Russians ignoring the fact that they are killing Ukrainians on a daily basis. I sure as hell know I am sick of it. As Russians blindly go about their daily life and continue to ignore the reprehensible actions of their so-called elected leaders (actually, Russia is fully a dictatorship), people are dying at a rate of around 1,000 per day, half are Russian, half are Ukrainian. The rest of us outside of Russia just cannot understand the apathy of the Russian population despite the fact that we know that Russians are heavily propagandized by State-owned media and are fearful of their government. But the government cannot lock everyone up!! For example, the Udmurts working at the Votinsk factory could all just refuse to go to work. Or they could gather together and protest the factory. Or they could load up a truck with fertilizer and blow up the plant. JUST DO SOMETHING!! You know something is terribly wrong inside Russia.
