Life in VLADIVOSTOK 2024 (the end of Russia)

This is Vladivostok, in the far east of Russia. Over 9000 kilometres from Moscow, the Far East feels like the edge of the world but what is life like here? The Russian far east is the least populated region in Russia with only around 8 million people living here (or just over 5% of the Russian population). Vladivostok is the capital of Primorsky Krai and it’s the second-largest city in the Russian Far East, after Khabarovsk, with a population of just over 600,000. During the Soviet period it was a closed city, meaning no outsiders could enter, however these days, it is one of the most open cities Russia, with many tourists arriving from neighbouring countries (mainly China). Vladivostok is most famous as the final stop of the trans Siberian railway, the train stretching 7 days across from European to Asian Russia. It is also known for its natural harbour location and as the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet. We arrived yesterday on a ship from Korea, and can't wait to check out the city, and try to understand more about life here and its people. Welcome to 'Vladik'

From my home in the Yorkshire dales, it’s lovely to look and learn about far-flung places. Thank you for your excellent video.

I love when you show us around Russia, I'm always pulling up maps trying to imagine being there.. and am so thankful that you take us along on these journeys with you. I was quite surprised at the distance between Vladivostok & Moscow.. Then I became curious to see where Sochi is, I had seen someone post a video one time & there were PALM trees!! My mind is boggled by the vastness & the diversity of your country. I hope someday I might be able to see /tour Russia with my own eyes, God willing.

40 senedir Fransada yaşayan bir kürdüm.
Genliğimde; Her zaman Rusya ve Sovyet tarihini okudum.
20 sene önce 3 ay, Moskova Sibirya seyahatı yaptım.
Bir çok kültürün nasıl barış içinde yaşadığını gördüm ve
Bir rüya gibi geldi bana.

Batı Avrupa ve ABD nın ahlak ve demokrasi gibi konularda ne kadar iki yüzlü olduğunu görmüş oldum ❤

Amazing, I learn so much about Russia through these videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[VikingPreparedness]

What a beautiful city! Not how I imagined it at all. Thanks for taking us there.

[BangAverage]

I've been wanting to visit Vladivostok for quite some time. Pleased to see your video. It looks like a terrific city to visit, and the surrounding areas appear to offer plenty of tranquility.

[janebeckwith]

Thank you for the video, I travelled here in 1997, by the trans Siberian from Moscow, the city looks very different. I remember the russian fleet and going on a submarine ( on the land) It really felt like I was at the end of the world, I then flew back to Moscow. I'm English and was a social work volunteer there.

[Zolushkajp]

Мой любимый город. Родилась тут и живу уже 41 год. Переезжать даже мысли не возникало. Владивосток со мной навсегда❤очень люблю наше приморье за невероятную природу, разнообразие морских деликатесов и душевных людей

[andyctube]

Vladivostok looks really nice. It's nothing like what I was expecting. While I was watching this, I was imagining what it'd be like to have one of the flats in the hills overlooking the harbour. It must be interesting to see all the different kinds of ships coming into port there.

[UAHFAN]

Fantastic video! As an American who has lived in Vladivostok since 2013, I find this city to be amazing! The region in general is quite beautiful, as well.
