Life in Yakutia. I am Maria. I live in Yakutsk, the capital of Sakha (Yakutia) - the coldest inhabited place in the World. The coldest ever registered temperature in my region is -71.2ยฐC/-96.16ยฐF. I am Sakha (Yakut), and we are the native people of this land. In this channel I share my videos about culture, food and my every day life. I also like to make language comparison videos since my mother language Sakha belongs to a large Turkic group of languages:)
I hope this channel will help you to learn more about my region. Thank you for being here and have a good day!

Hello, dear friends! My new video is finally live โ„๏ธ

If you enjoy it, please support the video with a like or comment โ€” it really helps it reach a wider audience ๐Ÿค

โ„๏ธ New video coming today ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŽฅ

I went out on the streets of Yakutsk to ask locals what they really think about life in the coldest city.
Winter or summer?
Cold or comfortable?
Stay here or move somewhere warmer?
How much money do you actually need to live in Yakutsk?
โ€ฆand a few other questions.

I was very shy to approach strangers, but people turned out to be incredibly kind and open โ€” and some of the answers truly surprised me.

Video drops today ๐Ÿค
What would you answer to these questions? ๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

P.S. Thank you so much to everyone who sent me ideas for questions โ€” you helped me a lot with this video ๐Ÿค

Hello, dear friends! ๐Ÿ‘‹โœจ
If youโ€™re truly interested in Sakha culture, I have something very special for you! ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ—“ Only until December 21, you have a unique chance to visit a digital exhibition of Sakha culture featuring art, music, and films โ€” all with English subtitles! ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŽฌ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽถ

The exhibition is designed as an interactive game ๐ŸŽฎ:
You walk through a virtual field ๐ŸŒพ, enter two traditional Sakha houses, and even dive into a lake ๐ŸŒŠ:

๐Ÿ• Summer house (Uraha): listen to podcasts and explore Sakha artworks ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ–ผ

๐Ÿ  Winter house (Balagan): watch 9 Sakha films ๐ŸŽฅ โ€” I highly recommend โ€œDonโ€™t Bury Me Without Ivanโ€ โค๏ธ

And one more question: did you find the music in this video too loud? Should I make it quieter in my next one?

Hello dear friends! โ„๏ธ Thanks so much for checking out my latest video โ€” โ€˜Typical Apartments Tour in Yakutsk.โ€™ For my next videos, should I add on-screen subtitles? Do you think theyโ€™re needed?

I usually add them because I have an accent, and Iโ€™m worried some parts might be hard to understand

โ„๏ธ New Video! โ„๏ธ

Yakutsk โ€” the coldest major city on Earth ๐Ÿฅถ โ€” where winter can drop below โ€“50ยฐC!
Iโ€™m taking you inside real apartments:
๐Ÿš๏ธ Old wooden houses
๐Ÿข Soviet apartments
๐ŸŒ‡ Modern buildings
See how people stay warm, cozy, and make life work in extreme cold. This was my most time-consuming video โ€” 4 days filming, 2 weeks editing, and my first 4K video!โœจ

So apparently, the more time I spend editingโ€ฆ the fewer views I get ๐Ÿ˜‚ My new video is seriously one of my favorites โ€” I actually watched it a few times myself (which never happens ๐Ÿ˜…). I swear it deserves better! If you havenโ€™t seen it yet, go give it some love before it gets completely ignored by the algorithm ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’› Thanks for being here and supporting me ๐Ÿ’› Every view means a lot.๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
