Russians Survive -35°C Without Power (2001)
Life In The Freezer (2001): A look at the power crisis that hit Vladivostok in winter 2001.

Vladivostok, Russia’s far-flung eastern outpost, was once proud and thriving - headquarters to a superpower’s awesome Pacific fleet. Now it’s a broken down place, gripped by savage cold. Vladivostok has just suffered the worst winter in 50 years. What made it even more desperate was the collapse of the city’s neglected heating systems and a power grid that simply ran out of fuel. Regional governor Evgeny Nazdratenko is accused of nepotism, corruption and of thieving money from the coal budget. We find a community shivering with rage, in squalid apartments where heating systems have broken down. Some march to blockade the Trans-Siberian rail link - hoping to summon aid from Moscow. Many miss the good old days of reliable Soviet warmth. The cold war was never this cold…

I can't imagine surviving even living -35 degrees. That's insane.

Welcome to yakutia bro. It's always like -65 C° there
What a strong people. Im impressed and sad at the same time.
Here old people die at 0 degrees C. Russians are really strong. 💪
-35 without heating? I guess your clothes become your second skin until next summer.
Winter is a different beast, on it's own.
Imagine working hard for 40 years and then retiring in a frizzing cold apartment with no running water and having to go to toilet outside! What a beautiful place Russia is!!! NOT.
I need to stop complaining about Missouri weather ASAP.
These stories must be told, I’m grateful I have such an easy life compared to many. Thank you for telling these stories.🙌🏻
And we wonder why cartoons always stereotype Russians as being in a bad mood!
God those people are tough! I hope things have improved since then!
Heartbreaking and as usual, it’s the women there who have the guts to stand up to the corrupt, lazy, parasites in charge. That woman who made tea even though she had no running water - even when she had nothing, she still insisted on being a kind, dignified host.
in case you can't do math this was 23 years ago and Vladivostok is now a booming, nice city
-35C damn we have this once every 10 years here, i just googled vladivostok and it's average -10c of low in february atm
Is that really -95F? That doesn't seem right to me and it's 4AM and my math skills barely work when I am fully awake. TIA for anyone who helps me out! ETA: LMAO. I was going to erase this embarrassment but I can't stop laughing at myself thinking I was cool posting -95F was a livable thing. So enjoy my ignorance - maybe you'll get a chuckle out of it. And for others who were taught and live and breathe in the stupid measurement parts of the world it's actually -31F.

@@forgottenpixel have you even lived at -30f? warm clothes barely work, need so many layers crazy stuff we ocasionally get close to that in mont-tremblant here
It is from 20 years ago
I'm shocked some ancient person didn't pop up with the"back in my day, 193x Stalin sent us to the Siberian wilderness with just the clothes on our backs and just dropped us off in a frozen barren expansion... Cannibalism was inevitable, but I managed to live off of the.. the uh the uh... The dead grass yes, that's what I ate, definitely not the freshly deceased corpse of so and so from so and so." Then he (or baba, let's face it, the babas love them some media interviews) was probably also involved in Stalingrad somehow so he'd compare this little outage to Eastern front hell scapes thus make all the other interviewees look whiny and thin skinned lol.

If you are going to upload them to 1080p from the Masters. Why not 4k? 1080p looks like a mess

Thanks to vodka!!
Why upload these all at once?
It's not up to the government to keep you warm. I know it's easy for me to say but if you live in such a country you would have learnt by now on how to survive the cold.

A lot of generations of russian men were killed by germans during the war. A lot were sacrificed so that europe is free from nazi ideology. Sadly communism ideology is just as bad. Many were killed by their generals if they surrendered
