We went to a shaman in the Ural mountains! (Bashkortostan, Russia)

My sister and I decided to look for the answers to our lives at the top of the Mount Big Iremel in Bashkortostan republic, Russia. Do you think we found the answers?

Time codes:
00:00 Morning from my family in Ufa
03:20 Going to the mountains with my sister
04:55 We visited a shaman and asked for the answers
06:38 The shaman told me that the answers are at the top of Iremel!
08:30 Reflecting about our childhood and future
10:55 Stories of the Mountains of Bashkortostan
12:36 Have we found the answers at the top?

Recipe for the best Russian blini (pancakes) from my aunt: 4 eggs, 1.5/2 cups of flour (+ add 5 spoons of flour for blinis, if you have), 1/2 tea spoons of salt, sugar (to your taste), 2 cups of milk, and add a bit of water to make a dense mass. Fry on a pan with a bit of oil from both sides.

1. Dont' ever change. 2. Keep the wonderful videos about Russia coming, I love them. 3. Don't ever, ever think that the US or the West are better. What you show us is beautiful in a genuine, organic, healthy human sense and we in the West are losing, or are having taken from us, anything about our societies that could be described in such a way. Many of us here would give our right arm to know peace, tranquility, and to live the traditional society and land of our forefathers. My point? Treasure what you have, every waking minute of your life. You are mightily blessed.

I myself am from Russia, and have not yet been to Bashkorkastan and many places in our country, because studying the largest Eurasian continent will take a lifetime.
It is also interesting to read comments from people from different countries, their surprise and delight, because Russia has always seemed to them to be a huge, icy, scary, soulless country... But now they see everything. Greetings from Siberia, Russia🙂👋

Love seeing you with your sister and talking about her impressions of you growing up. Eli, please consider what you are doing as your highest purpose right now. Seeing Russia in its diversity of lands and people is a tremendous service to the world and is the best use of the internet in my opinion. While you are young and able to do this, please keep on!

Могу добавить, что башкирский мед получил известность благодаря тому, что в Башкирии сохранился промысел бортничество - собирание дикого меда.

I visited Ufa back in January 2022 for the New Year Celebration and stayed with a Tatar Family who hosted me, it was such a wonderful experience and the Tatar people are so hospitable and friendly)
The family who hosted me gifted me many jars of Honey from Bashkortostan and authentic handmade Valenki boots! It was such fond memories, this video made me smile and helped me relive them, love your content! looking forward to seeing more of Ufa! Greetings from America)

@ElifromRussia Hi Eli this is John from Pennsylvania, USA thank you for another amazing blog videos. The views from the Ural Mountains looks majestic and I love the different cultures from Russia too. I remember having a dream about this blog (and some others too) and exploring the different places. I think it was last year or the beginning of this year when I had it. Have safe travels.
