Full Disclosure, what I think about Norilsk? 24 November, 2020
Now I'm in Ulyanovsk, check my last videos. I've maked also a documentary film about Norilsk.
Filmed: 24 November, 2020
Temperature: -10°C
Walking Time: 31 minutes
Camera: DJI OSMO POCKET 2
Norilsk-Russian: Нори́льск, is an industrial city in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located above the Arctic Circle, east of the Yenisei River and south of the western Taymyr Peninsula. It has a permanent population of 175,000.
It is the world's northernmost city with more than 100,000 inhabitants and the second-largest city (after Murmansk) inside the Arctic Circle. Norilsk and Yakutsk are the only large cities in the continuous permafrost zone.
Norilsk was founded at the end of the 1920s, but the official date of founding is traditionally 1935, when Norilsk was expanded as a settlement for the Norilsk mining-metallurgic complex and became the center of the Norillag system of Gulag labor camps. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1939 and town status in 1953.[10]

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it and it helped me learn a little bit more about the city. I find it hard to comprehend how life goes on as if the weather was nothing, Here in the UK a few flakes of snow shuts us down and there's almost mass panic 😃
What i like about the city is everywhere you go everything is so bright and you can see your surroundings clearly even at night!
Great video, I hope that you keep up the good work. I would love to visit that place one day.

И еще мои дети ходили заниматься танцами в Дворец Культуры, который вы проходили в своем видео)) а для дочери это дало желание и в дальнейшем связать свою жизнь с танцами. А город по своему красив!

Wow, I’m once again impressed by your raw honesty when telling us what you don’t like. I appreciate that you share with us. The pollution, the people, very honest. What I am confused about if that you say you like that it’s a closed city, closed to outsiders coming in, yet you are an outsider who came in. Would you be sad if they kept you out? I think your English is very good. I prefer your impromptu commentary far more than something you might have scripted and narrated. Keep up the great vlogging!

another thing I might say about respect... I think part of the respect is that you, a person from a more southern region, survive in Norilsk (which many Russians born in the cold climate cannot adjust to), and part also, that not only teachers in general are still held as a higher cast in Russia (especially in the more traditional areas), but that arts such as theater or dance hold a greater degree of meaning in the social system then they do in most societies of modern Europe... at least on a superficial level.

We (Australia) have former mining towns that had no vegetation (trees) for decades but the flora & funa (plants/trees & wildlife) have returned. It just takes time for nature to re-estatblish itself once the mining has stopped. In the late 1980's I passed through a town in Australia called Queenstown, it looked like the planet Mars but mother nature has been busy and it's come back to life. For a mining centre Norilsk looks absolutey stunning compared to the Australian equivilant not including our amazing coastline (fishing) 🕊❤🍀🐨🌿

Ded-Dobryny'a or "the kind old man", also associated with the image of an old folk-hero warrior took much thesame place as did Santa, for the time of the Christmas festivities

the difference between "Rayon" and "Gorod" is basically voting rights, as a Rayon of Norilsk, these neighborhoods have(or had) a right to elect some city officials in Norilsk... they also probably can benefit from sharing a joint budget. usually if not allowed to join the city, such areas usually had an Urban-type-Settlement status (something like a rank or two below city), but rarely qualified as a whole city, I think Norilsk only got its full City status (and therefore a city committee/government) in the 1970's... generally only administrative-centers or places with over 80'000people get it

Andrew. your English is fine. the Pocket 2 is fantastic! I laugh you can't say much good Norilsk, but why is so polluted? you said industrial mining next to city ...petrol? metals? what? no trees? what about outside the city in all the big Lakes? there must be animals, bears, birds, wolf, many more. in 4 months of warm, is it pretty region? Or just Tundra, and oil production? People in cold regions, like Scandinavia, are also considered not very friendly...hard life cold cold climate, people hard, too. Another question. when you leave the city center you have shown, are there "suburban neighborhoods" where there are single family homes on property? Or does everyone live in a concrete flat? The four months of warmer weather, is it Spring with flowers and such? thanks for all the look at Norilsk.....and most of all how good Pocket 2 works.
