Life in Yakutia. I am Maria. I live in Yakutsk, the capital of Sakha (Yakutia) - the coldest inhabited place in the World. The coldest ever registered temperature in my region is -71.2°C/-96.16°F. I am Sakha (Yakut), and we are the native people of this land. In this channel I share my videos about culture, food and my every day life. I also like to make language comparison videos since my mother language Sakha belongs to a large Turkic group of languages:)
I hope this channel will help you to learn more about my region. Thank you for being here and have a good day!

Hello, dear friends! My new video is finally live ❄️
In this episode, I went out on the streets of Yakutsk to ask locals what it’s really like to live in the coldest city in the world. We talked about what they love about life here, average salaries, what temperatures they actually consider “cold,” and many other interesting things.
If you enjoy it, please support the video with a like or comment — it really helps it reach a wider audience 🤍

❄️ New video coming today 👀🎥
I went out on the streets of Yakutsk to ask locals what they really think about life in the coldest city.
Winter or summer?
Cold or comfortable?
Stay here or move somewhere warmer?
How much money do you actually need to live in Yakutsk?
…and a few other questions.
I was very shy to approach strangers, but people turned out to be incredibly kind and open — and some of the answers truly surprised me.
Video drops today 🤍
What would you answer to these questions? 👇🌬️
P.S. Thank you so much to everyone who sent me ideas for questions — you helped me a lot with this video 🤍

And one more question: did you find the music in this video too loud? Should I make it quieter in my next one?

Hello dear friends! ❄️ Thanks so much for checking out my latest video — ‘Typical Apartments Tour in Yakutsk.’ For my next videos, should I add on-screen subtitles? Do you think they’re needed?
I usually add them because I have an accent, and I’m worried some parts might be hard to understand

❄️ New Video! ❄️
Yakutsk — the coldest major city on Earth 🥶 — where winter can drop below –50°C!
I’m taking you inside real apartments:
🏚️ Old wooden houses
🏢 Soviet apartments
🌇 Modern buildings
See how people stay warm, cozy, and make life work in extreme cold. This was my most time-consuming video — 4 days filming, 2 weeks editing, and my first 4K video!✨

So apparently, the more time I spend editing… the fewer views I get 😂 My new video is seriously one of my favorites — I actually watched it a few times myself (which never happens 😅). I swear it deserves better! If you haven’t seen it yet, go give it some love before it gets completely ignored by the algorithm 😭💛 Thanks for being here and supporting me 💛 Every view means a lot.🫶🏻

I released what might be my best video yet (in my humble opinion) – a Day in the Life of Farmers in Yakutia! 🌍✨ This one’s full of incredible moments, and it’s extra special to me because it’s about my parents. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think! 🙌🤍
A heartfelt thank you to Chinh Luong for supporting my channel 🤍
