Mars in the Urals, Yekaterinburg and Russian farm in Sverdlovsk region

In this video I set off for a big trip in the Ural region of Russia! My destination #1 is the city Yekaterinburg - the fourth largest city of Russia. We will explore the city, go to the rehearsal of the Russia Day and head outside of the city to find the Red Planet in Russia. The locals call this place in the Ural mountains “Mars-in-the-Urals”, as it looks like another planet.

Say 'hi' in the comments and tell me what other places I should make vlogs about in Russia ;)

You strike the perfect balance of providing information without providing too much information. And, you are so pleasant to listen to. Thanks for posting.

I taught myself Russian and to help with those studies, I traveled to Yekaterinburg 3 times to stay with a Russian family, in one of the standard Russian apartment complexes - nicest people on the planet - the city was also nice - some interesting sights to see. Love your videos, Eli - thanks for these.

Very good video! I lived in Sverdlovsk - Ekaterinburg from 1957 till 1999. Now I am living in Israel. I am glad that Ekaterinburg looks so beautiful !
Old buildings are kept in good shape and a lot of wonderful new buildings! Thank you for the video. You do a good job to show real Russia to people worldwide!

Yes, we do have the "fluffy feathers" in Vancouver, it is coming from a tree called Cottonwood tree and it comes in springtime. I find your channel a week ago, it is very good and very informative, you give viewers a positive idea on Russia. Keep up the good work, I will watch all your videos.

When I was living in Argentina I had a friend fromYekaterinburg. Her name was Anastassia and we called her Tashi. Her Spanish was almost perfect. Once we met at the house of an italian architect and we noticed that we were all
aliens from Argentina. A group of foreigners in a distant south american country. She was going to travel to Russia then so she has to get through half a world to reunite with her family and fellows there. It's a very nice memory to remember

Hi Eli! I'm Italian, and to answer about the poplar cottonwood trees, in the whole region about 2 hours from Venice, every year it gets full of cottonwood fluff, we're talking about lots of it, like one meter in the span of ten days, imagen the mess. It goes everywhere!
Keep on tracking Young lady! We love your channel.
Ciao!

I discovered your channel a few days ago and I have to say I absolutely LOVE your videos and the type of content you like to show. During this time of trepidation It helps to see how the average person in Russia lives. News reports can be so misleading (I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s I’m 47) and I know all too well about “fake facts”! I am in the US and I really enjoy learning about your culture, and there are many things I didn’t know! Thank you!!

I love how you often seem to choose outfits specifically for how their aesthetics works with the environments you visit. In this case, your flesh-toned top blends with "Mars" while your fire-red pants up the surrounding reds many notches, making you the clear yet harmonious focal point!

[Manoel_Manolo]

I’m sure Russia is so diverse that what you choose is amazing. You have a special gift to do these videos that I love them do much.

[tinoutpin]

Hi, Eli what you let us know from Russians is very interesting, something I couldn't imagine at all. Thank you for helping us to know a great culture. One of the best in the world, as I can see they are proud of it. I'm suscribed already. Thank you again.

[Graysentinel]

So far this could be my favorite Russian city. So open clean and airy.

[mshakir]

I really enjoy watching your show, thanks for sharing. This place in Urals look a lot like the landscape at Petrified National Park in Arizona USA.

Thank you Eli for that wonderful tour of Yekaterinburg and the martial landscape. You are a very pleasant person to watch when you explain everything so beautifully. Thank you once again. I am from Sri Lanka

[groeisterk]

Your villages and unending woods are awesome. Please do more videos on village life. Your thousand miles woods. I wish I could experience it. I think one of your woods are larger than SOuth Africa in total!

[devodootie]

I found your channel a few days ago & I’m thoroughly enjoying every video. This ‘martian’ area reminds me of areas in our western states, particularly Yellowstone National Park. I heard today that they’ve had so much rain the last few days that many roads & bridges have collapsed, some people are stranded. I hope & pray they’re able to rescue & evacuate everyone safely.

[siliqua]

Omg, on the 6:14 I can see MY HOUSE!!! Literally!!! I haven’t expected that at all!!
Although I live now in Saint Petersburg, but I miss my hometown a lot😢❤

[daleair]

In Canada we call them cottonwood. And yes, we have a lot of them. I never realized Russia was so beautiful.

[sallysampson]

I can’t suggest a specific area to visit, but please don’t stop!!! This is fun geography!! It wonderful to have this opportunity to learn about your country!!! I love your vlogs wherever you take us.
I think you’re a fantastic representative for all things Russia and allow the outside world see the real way of life as much as possible!! The Russian government should pay you!! Keep it coming!!!!
