Chris Marker’s Letter from Siberia. Yakutia [documentary]

Bolot — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:39:51 +0000

The Letter from Siberia is a great documentary about my region called Republic of Sakha-Yakutia. Created and released by Dr. Chris Marker in 1957. A long time ago, indeed. Though I noted no big difference in terms of the way of life and culture heritage.

Enjoy!

P.S. The link to the video was shared by a UK-based website visitor named Cherry. Thank you, Cherry!Similar Posts:

I love visiting Yakutsk Mammoth Museum located in the mordern building of North-Eastern Federal University (formerly known as Yakutsk State University).

It occupies pretty small premises, but full of bones and samples right from the Ice Age. Most of all, I like to be in the lab of the mammoth museum. The entrance to that rooms is very restricted, but I was lucky to get inside.

Take a look at photos of the museum and the remains of the ancient Ice Age beasts discovered in the Arctic permafrost in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russia’s Siberia. If you are a big fan of paleontology, you would like them for sure.

It’s in Russian, though you can understand everything. Don’t pay attention to what Yaz’ is telling, as no one is listening to him. It’s more about images and action.

Photos: Extreme Winter Driving & Cold Weather in Yakutsk, Yakutia #Siberia #Russia

*Images are clickable.

You might wonder how we live in winter in Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, Russia’s Siberia. Take a look at street photographs taken today in my neighborhood around 2 pm.

As you see, it’s still the deep winter. Last days we have temperatures below minus 45 or 48 degrees Centigrade. Pretty cold!

Drivers tend to ride through thick fogs. People walk under snowy trees. Nice and freshy!

Though not so many pedestrians can be seen on sideways or backyards. Like any other human, We, Yakutians, like being in the warmth, so we prefer to spend more time indoor and less outdoor.

What’s the temperature inside houses. If the innner heating works fine, it should be around 22C. So, please, don’t worry much about us. Everything is fine!

How do they drive cars in such thick fogs? They can drive, not because they have the GPS navigator, they do it easily, as they know the city very well.

Do you like the cold weather? Why not join the ColdUnited community of people, who loves the cold.

You might also find answers to questions on how Yakutsk residents survive in winter, in the AskYakutia blog.
