    Both my Father and Mother are Sami from Finland and spoke Sami language, Suomi language, German and English (after immigrating to America). Sami peoples are spread along the northern-most coastal areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. In the northern states of America, many Sami peoples mixed with the Indigenous tribes and are known as "Findians." Yes, I was also referred to as a Findian as a boy growing up in Minnestoa.

At this time in Russian history (March 2022) I think more videos like this are needed to ward off negative stereotypes about Russia. As for the Reindeer Herder clothing I give it a number 10 because it has so many things going for it, the unusual material that are also very practical, the color combinations are fantastic and the belt can be a video by itself. I do not think there are enough videos on KZread about Sami (aka Saami) people *be it in Russia, or Finland, Sweden and Norway - including sea Sami).

    Soon there will be even more amazing Russian areas and people! Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Estonia, Finland, Mongolia... I can't wait to see what country will join Russia next! So many unique cultures and landscapes all under the rule of a few Moscow billionaires. So beautiful.

    These videos are so interesting and a hugely important lifeline for the west and people in countries like the UK to see that people living every day lives in Russia are not plotting, planning, and hating the west - but just living their lives. Huge fan, this is great work. Давай молодец ❤

    Love that I can actually understand what you're saying without the subtitles. I am fluent in Serbian and some of the words (vreme, koliko), things to do with times, dates and asking basic questions are so similiar. Want to learn Russian fluently and was worried it would be hard, but as a Slavic language I am finding it easier and easier to understand just by knowing Serbian and listening to how you pronounce certain Russian words...it's like wow. Your videos about Russian culture are so interesting and informative, keep up the good work.

    Eli I think you are wonderful and so fortunate to live in such a beautiful country, you are doing things that most people in the world only dream of ,Russia is such a beautiful country and the people of Russia are so warm and helpful to everyone they meet. I have been round the world five times and met so many people. I have been close to Russia but never actually been IN Russia ,but that's a long story, for another time .If I were 40yrs younger I would propose to you(LOL) i think you are both wonderful and beautiful

    Hi Eli. Another fascinating look at the cultures of Russia. Thank you. Whenever we see videos of auroras here in Canada they are almost always shown moving dynamically across the night sky. It is sped up for our entertainment. You did not bother doing that and even your shots are not really clear, but I could still feel the magic from your expressions!

    G'day Eli, I love your posts from all over Russia, I am originally from New Zealand, I have lived in Australia since 1978. As a child i remember seeing the Southern Lights from Puponga, in the Top of the South Island of NZ. I also had the opportunity to work in waste deep snow, at the base of the great southern alps in the 1970s, wind chill about -30. I can tell you and anyone else, that i hate the snow, and especially the cold winds, hence living in Australia. Keep up the posts, don't worry about the brain dead that come to your channel, just to shoot their mouths off, about something they know nothing about. спасибо вам за ваши усилия
