The Irkutsk Region [01:01]
Irkutsk is the capital of eastern Siberia and the Baikal region. While the city preserves its unique history, it also looks forward actively to Siberia's future. The Irkut River gave the name to the city, and the shore of the Angara river became a citadel of Russian discoverers in the 17th century. Today, from this cultural and scientific center, there are a lot of interesting routes on the unique railway around Lake Baikal, that includes hundreds of bridges and tunnels along the way. The Taltsy Ethnographic Museum is a delightful experience that reflects the history and culture of the Baikal area. Endless rivers and lakes rich in fish attract fishermen from all over the world. The Irkutsk Region is Siberia's bountiful and generous gift.

The Republic of Karelia [01:01]
The Republic of Karelia is located in the northwest of Russia. It's a land of a stark, but overwhelming beauty. Karelia has over 20 thousand rivers, and 60 thousand lakes, a paradise for every fisherman. Water tourism routes stretch across the White Sea and Lakes Ladoga and Onega. Russia's most famous monasteries are located on the Solovetsky Islands and the Valaam Archipelago. And on Kizhi Island there is the historic museum of Russian Wooden Architecture. In the Kalevala district, you can visit villages where well known folk songs were written, and enjoy Kalevala, the famous genre of Karelian-Finnish epic poetry. The Republic of Karelia is a land of folk takes and poetic lakes.

Tuva Republic [01:01]
The Republic of Tuva, in the centre of Asia, in the south of eastern Siberia, is home to the upper reaches of the Yenisei River. Tuva is a land of high mountains, sweeping valleys and wide steppes, where nomadic people of ancient stock treasure their culture, history and the rare beauty of their homeland. Royal hillside tombs, fresh water lakes and waterfalls, vast forests of perennial beauty, this is a land of breathtaking peace and serenity. It stops you in your tracks, compelling you to take time to appreciate its tranquility. This is Tuva, eternal and forever young.

Vologda Region [01:01]
The Vologda Region, in the north-west of Russia, is a land of forests and lakes. Since the old days it's been one of Russia's hidden places. The Moscow Tsar used to keep the treasury of the Russian state here. Monks and icon painters used to go to Lake Beloye to keep faith with their traditions. Pilgrims from all over the world come to Vologda and Goritsy, to honour Cyril and Therapont, to experience peace of mind and to seek truth and wisdom. The people of Vologda maintain the customs and traditions of the Russian north. Every summer different generations gather here to preserve these time-honoured rites. However, in the north winters are long and occupied with lengthy hunting trips and adventures. Father Frost, the Russian Santa Claus, welcomes children and adults alike to his Vologda mansion.

Nature of Russia [12:47]
Here I have made another video about Russia. This time it explores the areas that I dared not really look much into in my last video. It explores the winter, the mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, the towns, the countryside, the deserts and steppes and of course...the beaches (though Russia isn't really known for their beaches I thought it would make a great addition). Keep in mind that I am not a professional movie maker, so if it looks a little silly (which I know that some of this dialogue might be), then don't be surprised! For this movie, I was originally going to put the winter photos in my other video on Russia, but decided later to put them in this one instead. After looking up most of the republics, regions and towns in Russia, I come to the conclusion that Russia is really rather a lovely country and deserves to have more visitors and more people to look into maybe traveling the countryside and mountains if not the big cities. However, I suggest before going into the countryside and the mountains, to talk about vaccinations recommendations from your doctor. Anyways, try to guess where I found some of these images, and if you can guess with regions or republics these images are located in!
