    Recently I’ve visited Volgograd and on my way back to Moscow, on a map I saw… Urupinsk! I was so excited, because this is a city from an anecdote, and many people even think that this town doesn’t exist, so I had to visit it! Thank you a lot for watching 😉 and here’s the link to join my Russian Speaking Club 📍 elinabakunova.com/russianclub . We start soo
  • Feels like a small town in Sweden 30-50 years ago. Before things started to go crazy.

    Pharmacy Lady was very kind to provide a tour and let you film.

    Dear Eli, Your podcasts about your travels throughout the world are unique. The ones that show Russia are beautiful and breathtaking!!! Thank you for presenting your audience the wonders of your motherland.

    I am enjoying seeing Russia with your help. My Maternal Grandparents were from Saratov. They relocated to Canada during the Revolution in 1918. I grew up in Southern California, a very long way from Russia. We currently live in Washington State, USA. I started watching you because you look exactly like our oldest granddaughter! You could be twins, you look so much alike! Maybe we are related. Be safe in your travels, some places look so dangerously cold.

    Love Russian people! I lived in Phangan Thailand for 12. Years where it was majority Russians, and I have to say without doubt You guys are the best people I ever met! So gadI fund this channel!
  • I really enjoy seeing parts of Russia :) I'm from Australia, and Russia really is like a whole other world, so different from the west.
  • @trvxzen
    As a Romanian this town looks like an average small Romanian town and I can see the slavic influence to our culture. I'd love to visit Russia one day. <3
  • @gunder3
    Just found your channel and binged so many of your videos. You are a very good and interesting person. Thanks for showing the true Russia that we don't hear in the west!
  • @KS51ABCAN
    Urupinsk looks like a pleasant place to live.
  • Nice anecdote! Most countries have a town that is so ordinary that it represents the whole country. Thank you for taking us to Urupinsk.

    I admire the Russian soul of the finally music set. Русская Душа. Браво.

    As a retired clinical Doctor of Pharmacy, I found your visit to the community pharmacy & the pharmacist very interesting. I noticed the phamacopeia you showed, (in the States it is called the United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary), as well as the sales, weight, etc. Would love to chat with about this for a long time! My other professional work is in music as a composer, editor and publisher. Wish you could meet my two Sons! Just fly over for a visit!
  • @Gorrillawill

    Была в Урюпинске. Специально ездила. Памятника ещё не было с профессором. Была там в 2016 году. Есть оттуда кружка, майка и магнит на холодильник) Забыла написать: люди там действительно замечательные. Очень доброжелательные и открытые. Спасибо за видео ❤

    I find Your channel some hours ago. This was my Your 2. video to watch. 20 h train travel was good too. Good mood videos and interesting. I like Russian language, but I do not understand it. I am Finn.
  • The anecdote really is funny and wise. It could be adopted to many countries. Not so well known cities in Russia often have very interesting galeries and museums. And it´s good to see the gentleness and craftsmanship of the people. This video again was a very fine idea. Thank you so much, Eli!
