As a Turkish person I knew about the Yakut/Saka Turks but I didn't realize how huge Yakiutia was as a region. In Turkish Yakut means "ruby" gemstone.
I need to visit Yakutia! I didn’t even know about it until I stumbled upon your channel. It sounds like such a wonderful place!

At 20 years I already knew all world countries names, all of united States, all provinces of INDIA, Brazil, some China provinces, all States of Australia, Canada, whatever.

@@AndreiBerezin depends on the school system. In the US, we were taught almost nothing about Russia, or even most of Asia. Our world history and geography revolved around what specifically affected and influenced our country. Mostly European history and it's migrants to the US. Most i knew about Russia growing up was the cold war, KGB, and minimally it's tzars. certainly not it's geography. US government paid (tax payer paid) education loved to spend it's time inundating it's children on how we (European migrants) took the land from the natives and developed it, our civil war that led to freeing the slaves, and teaching us that we were the hero's of WW2. Most Americans, sadly, couldn't even tell you all the capitols of all our states. And certainly not all the provinces in Canada or Mexico. You could, however, learn these things in colleges/universities if your focus was world history or geography specifically. Fortunately, much has changed since the 80's & 90's and i believe our awareness and interest has increased with the age of the internet :)

@Emre Demir my learning is tainted by my own research, but if I recall correctly, in school we learned a bit about trade, methods of conquering, fighting over Constantinople, and the leaders therein. We learned about the ottomans in the context of how they affected the world around them, specifically. Geography is frequently glossed over in regards to the original post, but there's no way we didn't talk about the ottoman empire

@@themengene1132 There can be a million reasons why somebody may have Turkic ancestry. Most people in Anatolia don't carry Turkic DNA, which originates from Mongolia and South Siberia. Ancient Bulgars were a mixture of westward migrating Turkic tribes and indigenous Uralic people. Avars--the people before Magyars/Hungarians--in the Carpathian basin also had partial Turkic ancestry. Similarly, many Tatars fled all over after Slavic incursions into their lands for centuries.

I found your channel by accident. I was searching for videos on the toilet paper shortage. That led me to a channel called Different Russia. After I began watching that channel, yours was recommended. I'm glad I found it. Yakutia is fascinating place. I would never have believed there was a major city where the temperature averaged 50 below zero. Your channel is, by far, the best one on Yakutia. I hope it keeps growing. Keep up the good work.

Hello, I`m watching this in Azerbaijan. It is good to know more about our turkic brothers and sisters in Yakutia. I believe in the near future more people will know about Yakutia ;)
This channel is fascinating, and very humbling for me as an American. If only all cultures had the love and respect for each other and for nature that this culture does, what a paradise our world would be.
Very interesting facts well presented ! I did not realize that Yakutia and Yakut are Russian terms and that Sakha/Sakhalar was what you called yourselves. Similar to how Hungary and Hungarian are used internationally but we call ourselves Magyar and the country Magyarország :-) I have an interest in authentic traditional folk music and dance as done by regular people (not stylized performances by professionals). Do you think you could do a video about that ? Glad I came across your channel ! Thank you from a Canadian of Hungarian (Magyar) descent. Subscribed.
I didn't know the temperature changes are so extreme! I live in Finland which is at similar altitudes, but close to the Golf stream, which makes the weather damper and more even. We had first snow in late October, but it's going on and off melting and snowing, probably until January. The coldest month is usually February, when it may stay below -25 °C for a couple weeks.

I heard the name of Yakutsk when I was a kid because it's a territory in the Risk board game. But I only knew the name and that it is part of Russia. Thank you for sharing all of these facts. I am excited to watch more of your videos! I would love to learn about the music of Yakutia, both traditional and modern.
Never heard about Yakutia. In school we learned about Siberië, about the extreme cold weather, about the penal camps... , More history than geografy and culture. So your story about Yakutia is very interesting. It is a joy to hear you telling about your country. Carine from Belgium.
Would love to see more videos on the Sakha language!
I love the way she pronounces Yakutia
You are wonderful, such calming presence 😊
Maria shall be the ambasador of Yakutia. Not manya people know abut this place, until we found her channel. though my brain freeze in cold weather, but I love seeing the wonder of Yakuts. God Bless Maria
I live in Alaska and I would like to visit Chutkotka, Kamchatka Krai, or Sakha because they're so close, but in Alaska we don't know anything about those places, because most people in Alaska are US settlers, not Native, so we pay more attention to the United States than Russia
Is so nice to hear the description of you country, I even didn't know the existence of Yakutia, and even less that is a little bigger than Argentina, and I'm from Buenos Aires. Keep up with the good work of presenting Yakutia to the world through KZread.
Your videos are so lovely. I've been stuck at home all year so I love seeing little glimpses in to other people's worlds, especially when they're so different from my own. Thank you for sharing your experiences of Yakutia and the culture- I love it!
Yakutia is a part of the World I know almost nothing about, so all your info is great!
I had never heard of Yakutia before finding this channel, it looks so amazing I hope I'll be able to travel there one day! Wonderful video, it's very informative!
I'd never heard about Yakutia before this channel. But I enjoy learning about how people live. Looking forward to hearing more about your territory in future videos :)

As I am studying Russian, I knew almost all of it already, the naming story was quite interesting though. Also thanks for telling about the hours it takes to fly to Jakutsk - so you might actually wanna combine it with a visit in Korea or China instead of coming from the Western Russian side. Keep up the good work :)
You’re such a special and wonderful person and my best friend and I are planning a trip to visit Yakutia! Thank you for being an ambassador to your beautiful and precious culture

Thank you, I have been re-reading a book from my childhood written by an Russian author Nicholas Kalashnikoff who was exiled to Siberia for participating in the Russian revolution in 1905. The Title is "Toyon a dog of the North and his people". It's about the lives of people of your region (Yakutsk/Verkhoyansk) and their hero dog during the time of the Czar Nicholas II. It's a short but wonderful story, and describes your homeland as harsh, but also wonderful! I'm glad I found your channel. I will be following your video's. BTW...I'm writing from the state of Washington in the USA...Please keep up the good work!

I would say more accurate term is modernization. The ancient cultures and traditions died out even in the west simply because it was necessary to adopt more efficient practice to achieve a certain level of prosperity. A man cannot simply disregard plastics and automobiles when it comes to feeding their families. Same goes to artificial fibre and electric lights as well as certain medicines. Of course, this doesn't mean you should abandon your identity and abandon your past, but being a living museum for outsiders to gawk at is not good for your people either. By all means preserve your history, but also develop knowledge unique to your people or you will forever live copying others, dead or alive. Learning from outsiders is not a disservice to your people, knowledge is simply means to orient yourself towards a future you would prefer to see and not all solutions will be handed out to you on a book. It's the outcomes we pursue and paths we choose for ourselves that really define us as individuals and as a cultures of people, but times change and everyone must change with the times, be it in west or east, north or south.
