Russia in New York - Brighton Beach [05:11]
View the Google Map of Russia in New York: g.co On the southern outskirts of Brooklyn, just down the boardwalk from Coney Island, the peaceful ocean waves once drew waves of immigrants from a tumultuous past. Refugees from the former Soviet Union. After the Cold War ended in the '90s, an influx of Russians settled on the shores of the city. Brighton Beach, nicknamed Little Odessa after the Ukrainian city on the Black Sea, boasts the largest Russian-speaking population in the United States. Here, you may feel you need a translator, or a tour guide, like Dave Garbarskiy. Onward down Brighton Beach Avenue, at M & I International Food, locals stock up on fresh-made breads and other provisions. While there, also sample Russian-style eats like cured cold cuts, variations of pickled fish, and Pir-oj-ki: fried pastries with either a savory or a sweet-filled center. Fresh apricot or mango juices often accompany meals at cafes, and you can sample a variety of dishes for under ten dollars. Of course everyone in Russia needs a fur coat, and maybe a fox fur hat, as warm as they are stylish. Luckily, David's uncle owns a store down the street! When you commit to long train rides to the outskirts of New York City, you'll be amazed by the things you discover. It's not necessarily that Brighton Beach looks like Russia - it looks like any other neighborhood in Brooklyn. What makes it Russian is the people you meet, the sound of the language and the music in the streets, the foods you get ...

Yakutsk Siberia coldest place - Sled dogs at -50 degrees - Якутск Чочур Моран [02:48]
These dogs can face extremely cold temperatures that can easily reach -50 or -60 degrees in January and February. This is the coldest inhabited place on Earth: Yakutsk, East Siberia, Russia. They work the whole year in a luxurious restaurant called "Chochur Murán" the whole day, in order to entertain tourists in those sled dog tours, and wneh their day is over they are chained and forced to spend the night in this extremely unbearable low temperature. I made this film at 4:00 pm, when it's getting dark, and the responsibles for them had already gone.They had no food, no shelter, and I noticed they kept on raising their feet, one at a time, taking turns, in an effort to warm each foot at a time. When I made this movie yesterday, it was -42 degrees, so you can imagine what it feels like when it's minus 55. They have to sleep there, do everything at the same place, every single day, the whole year. While I was making the movie my whole fce froze and I could barely speak. While you are at this very moment at the warmth of your house, those dogs are there, surely trembling, feeling pain, hunger and solitude. I came to this place as a tourist, but my trip ended when I got to this place. I go back home begging for help. I can do nothing alone, so I ask you to join together, and lets us do something for this dogs. Yakutks say "this will be in vain". Because they use fur on the whole body, and they strongly believe animals are here to fulfill men's need. But I believe that ...
