reality, what other beijing comes up with, it's wrong. it locks people up authoritarian. it opens up. it's reckless and a threat to the world. but maybe it should be about let in countries sort no problems out themselves. how many thanks for joining us. that's all for me today, you know, near will be here with more in bessie with pony. welcome to was the part the heroes journey. one of the most recurrent

mythological themes in human history invariably brings the protagonist back to where it all began, cooling time and time. again, that's what had been searched for, was already inside. this archetype of pattern now manifests itself in this deep rise in russia's domestic travel, as russians faced with visit restrictions in the west, a lot to explore the reaches of their own country. does every journey indeed leave home? well to discuss that i am now joined by the dan bullet sheriff, a popular trouble blogger and russia self appointed ambassador for the arctic and before race, or the study done. it's great to have you with us today. yeah, i'm glad i was paul's crossed the eastern economic forum businesses in previous years. all green before was attended, been man international get example mixed around subordination. not so many man. it was again the number of russians in nor traveling abroad is also gwendolyn. the

other hand, domestic travel seems to be in the rise, and i went to russia. i'm washington many a touring the country even though you think good because they have no choice or is there really a lot of interesting things to see in russia? shesta number simple, magowan, prostate. i believe it's what they call a silver lining pull across to solomon. i think it was difficult for people to view russia that is a place to explore syria, mainly because international destinations clearly had services, a much better quality to offer but east and they were easier to get to us was just bay and you're all set below the chair, russia was really behind line in terms of tourist infrastructure and quality of service applicants now that people have started traveling around russia or so i'm really happy to see that for many. and now discovering that there's so much more to it than they thought about it late by carl girl is not the only destination here or in the east it up or this for ya. so much more beyond there to madison. that in

fact crossly, our stress, which is located near by cow, it is right in the middle of russia halfway between its western most when you mind eastern mosul, point source cham so i feel great a, see my subscribers exploring the article go. and the russian far east with their unique echo systems them. there's a lot to see there to me and what's important, just gimme, it's also a lot cheaper to visit on compared to well established tourist destinations. surely what i'll see also we're developing transportation networks here. so some a leading russian air carrier runs regular flights from moscow to most destinations . and the russian far east will cause to the airfare to day score compared to say 5 or 10 years ago. we so much more affordable years to somebody interior snares thought so much us a you certainly got a little bullet on bed, leslie of nas others near boise miller. not, not wait until you're saying it's about comfort, come forth, sandwiches, service and, and affordability. is there anything else, or is this the recipe for

a good trip? i was entre if the bulk generally well this is the recipe and yes, you're welcome to go. now we're talking about tourism. so what it naturally tourism means travel, 1st and foremost. so it isn't that of the taishan is certainly important, but as much comfort also matters flooring, their tie, whichever exotic destination you may choose to explore or you, whether it's skate dazzling of her with a view of alaska, we're just only 4 kilometers, separate russia from america it's called war c. k. shallow skin, with a polar bears on the wall wrangle islands will skin us. you always want to return to safety and comfort law after experiencing extreme conditions for parents than you wanted right there. and then, so let me give you an example. here we were shooting a documentary recently in chicago camp. i live when i was directing it or we spent a month there in total, mitchell and in that climate shifter. we were both cold and went all the time every day. i have no idea how or equipment kept working. it seems like a miracle to me,

shares and coming back to dry, warm place sir, after a day's work, was fantastic in what you could take off your wet clothes. i'd take a hot shower change into something dry and be ready to go out again. but you are a professional traveler when he does matches, you enjoy it. it's also what you do for a living. you love bushes, and i sure do them. we as that, if i understand it correctly, you're trying to visit some of the less popular locations she in her metro eltic. that's right. or we try to direct our travelers to new destination. so i'm wondering, i can give you a great example of this year. we reached the northern most points on the continent in the rush and far easily port is called on with ox, the cape. it's only a katya whisper. the place is incredibly beautiful, like a huge rock on the credit accounts into the arctic ocean. almost like an ice breaker at the sand is the northernmost point in the russian. far east of miss steely, we published our reports on both the russian and chinese social media. mix it and

got millions of views, 1000000 plus our some chinese tour agencies approached us keep asking to organize a trip for them. so they could see and assassin her as a potential destination for chinese tourists. what i'm gonna of this year we're going there with 7 asians delegation from china. we as well as a t v crew representing china's top tv channel to film it for you. or we have a tour planned out for them with law that will include the box, the keep her name as well as the timer peninsula, to showcase everything including siberia, russian far east, and the arctic heal soap. so this way we're creating a product, both for russian and national tourists, lloyd lane police that won't do it. they seem like i said, i thought that as a popular belief impeach in russia, especially as young as that dog and hearing, say, milan going to milan boys a lot cooler and more comfortable, accountable, or more accessible. our more money than to in more amounts clear to the point that

many ration travelers. so as the means you should have traveled the world me a little while their own country remains an uncharted territory for them. but with you just mentioned the trash already has places that can offer support the while it experiences i. however, i wonder if russia has something, no other place has. what she emma now with my any tougher nor usually go into a 12 shift so on. well, you know, i say the most unforgettable experience is, is meeting people to play. you can find good and bad people everywhere last year. but in the north or in the arctic, they are as authentic as it gets. here we were making a film about an old whale hunter whose ancestors at a 100 wales for 7 or 8 generations we on tom was we were following him everywhere. and what day and day out. and one day, when we came to his home of his grandson of around 20 years, opened the door. we said to we came to film his grandfather to which he replied that his grandfather was having a meal with the goddess hunger rate was sad. when can we start margaret?

as soon as he has done shock that he said to us down and shut the door. i don't get it knocked for cuz he wasn't trying to offend us. it was just that simple for him. obstacle once he is grandma was finished remodel. good. what do our sin and evil to have shot? that's how they go about everything and live, sing of simple and sincere good. let's have very rare qualitative find issued from august to lunch when it comes to natural attractions. we have everything we could wish war is like one great place or recommend to every one these days. and i believe it's going to be super popular soon or stay, or both was domestic and international tourists. again, he wants to live border restrictions are lifted over. is the southern and northern curial islands receivable equity with this place is mind bending while dash is like quote the finding yourself on the saddle of a jurassic park movie or something. or could you cross the trills almost like iceland or you low foot in norway or store or some other places? and you realize you can get it all these unique experiences,

most of the quote all at once. and in one place, sagal here in russia to almost material deliverables. i'm not mistaken. it was just a yankee who said that russia includes everything in the entire were absolutely, it does. and the chair that i see is parts of russia the far east and the arctic not normally explored by traveling enthusiasts at this stage didn't contribute much to that quest. valard. it was mostly private initiatives that have always admired how deeply these people cared for the wild life in those parts on machines for the local population, correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as i know i, she can either the russian empire or the soviet union or the russian federation, i said it tried to enforce russian culture and language and indigenous people to watch the brain civilization to them. so to say, you know, what have you seen in your travels were way not i just to a bullet ex column, the key and you, well they the got. there have been some near bullets, call them necessary improvements. introduce their or the board like education for

example. you much thought someplace as religious missions were established. if that it's true, that russia has never tried to uproot all any local traditions. when is lifestyles or culture coin you would see today can visit a small distant settlement, sir. so to give you an example, give us throw out. even when we visited the numbers, the brisk islands dimensionally are la loca din of. so we met a crafts woman there. so user who makes deer skin footwear on people that are assigned, that craft has been passed down to her through 4 generations of her ancestors. and you might say e, her great grandmother. fortunately, they made the same kind of boots with exactly the same design or dollar russian explorer, lewisville barons from tall and he's all are expedition and you got stopped at the novice abuse islands as these searched for the legendary sandy cough land in the early 20th century. and now i can say that i own

a pair of deer skin boots sort of identical to those that are made for baron from tall sport for those out of her hand. well, they're still available. i did see cuz this is a tradition that has been preserved for generations. the key tasks a day that she's to help indigenous people maintain these traditions. got out of shocked by yet. we were making a film about a whale hunter. and those are one in a very long line of whale hunters and any of con plans, you know, people like me and you, but which we don't have that kind of self identity that he has always thought doing what his ancestors had been doing. been strict since the 11th century, near cable pref, sure, a he is a wearing modern gear and striving and modern rhodes altima. but she is a whale hunter. don't look down, wasn't that done? support in the traditional lifestyles at the local language is really spoken by small groups of people is pretty expensive for any state. angela can't argue with

that. it's much easier to create reservations for them. it was not necessary reservations. you could just have these people, assimilation exists. what i meant when i said reservations to personally yesterday what it is graded and russia. we have to state support programs for such indigenous peoples and shear the form. i saw a lot of ethnic minorities involved color. there was a house of indigenous people at the far east street exhibition. also russia will be presiding over the arctic councils for the next 2 years. and that, sir, it will a significant studios. we actually ran a number of expeditions in support of programs like these can, wasn't a deal and now is it all done for promotion? so we could have an exhibition of local traditions special. why do you think the stuff for a big nation with imperial ambitions was manny see? yeah. what's the point of invest in ethnic minorities? let me explain this. live up there. political. what would i came to the arctic 10

years ago? what i thought that old people living there are the same. sure. did i call it bottom young at 1st? that's what i saw or do. but later i realized that was not the case. and you said you had some, even reindeer breeders are all different. the events, right, the reindeer, to steer the hurdle scaling all the novel of a police chief followed the free roaming, heard about. and if cyril's needs, if i can give lots of examples, they're all different. if not, all of them are some ethnic groups could have under a 1000 people's digits like the u cargurus blood, but each has its own remarkable history and culture units. and they are all parts of our great country novel. and when you see these indigenous peoples called because you realize how great on russia really ease of us with its reach and versatile culture and identity, say this is incredible. well, mcdonough, we have to take a short break right now, but we will be back in just a few moments. say, chant sch

. 50 ah ah ah

ah, well, come back to one of the parts with russia traveler, i'm going down the bullet shop. but i'm macrocosm before the break. we were talking about diversity in russia as yet i see just today the world is engaged in inactive discussion about the world order and different perspectives on life, on each called texas. i know the warren ukraine is part of their discussion book. a cluster definitely was linear pro diversity but doesn't require them bytes. but, and this really shows in your video just much that 2nd that was put in your films here for did not seem like so why from so to say the evolved dwelt big brothers. a person from a different place is health is both true to himself and tries not to change others . when your opinion, how can we make the world except as diversity nor again, you are jania at the moment ago, but i shall bless you too. well, it's all relative. why not?

there's one man's trash is another man's treasure, clerical, different people can have different opinions, self one, and the same thing. the plots that he, what we need to respect all views and at the same time from allow people's right for romker. my self expression will chest the all it's, i believe that russia is also very good and it actually will that there's room for a bruin. sure, but in general we don't force anybody to give up their identity or what floor plan year in terms of ethnicity, traditions or religion or when it illegal people enjoy these freedoms and russia on less drama. and i think that's great. okay, so when there is kaluan said in an interview of that, so if you had a chance to choose how join senior ex traditions it's be has of the arctic states won't come, crashed at what can they learn? saying it, unload ships are long the lab shoots. not so much about learning. look like minimal . it would be good for them to see how people leave inside the arctic circle because it changes you when you see people who don't have any social crutches to

lean on a center when you can. your thought if a person owns a snowmobile here quitting, it's not for having fun with your friends. surgery the weekends. suddenly burnett portfolio. i at that at the hostile they use it to get food with water and other supplies. you draw, it's their lifeline. it the reason yes, liam will quit the world if people have no need for a social tool or a gadget. nice. they don't use them. portion, interiors, people there. don't get distracted by all the social 1000 noisily. all that information suggested to us like numb with all the ads closing as to why the newest smartphone mode or something for la la, la, la, la, in here. sure. so people often pursued these kind of things goodness of them, but not there. you can sit in the some dinner themes and the satellite, which this comes down. she turned existential question that we all can relate to. what is life and what is the meaning of it? what, what is freedom less through?

now? sure softly how your travels influenced your wealthier? just think i do you feel change to play or will i certainly do of what is lifestyle and what is life on for lifestyle? is something you grow up, will you do? i remember watching a cartoon about noon curl, the little polar bear me the as a kid, and that's how i started to like polar bears and the arctic, certainly later. and there were this fascinating documentary is from the shock he's christos expeditions. austin, one, she was the man who discovered an entire new world out there. i mean is, and he wasn't just observing it. she was sharing his findings with all of us. mm. yeah. letting us see what he saw with his own eyes. flir jamica thought about, that's what i grew up with her and it became part of my personality. and the same is happening to that people come to including in my subscribers and viewers who traveled to the arctic. miss schubert, you see something there, discover new mean was and a just your path in this world with a new coordinates, demarco also. so to understand the worlds or, or at least her, our vast country,

high jobs, you really need to see it. or think of all the regions as or pieces of a puzzle that the cook, the you visit, what 5 regions you on the what, and you get 5 pieces, the pit bulls. you put them together and see a part of the picture, or secretary, or look, for example, these pieces form an eye exam, but you don't see the full picture yet. you're telling you give you some knowledge from the media she has, but that's other people's opinions, not sharon, from rolled out so you can develop your own view only based on your own experiences . that's how it works. well, in the beginning, as i mentioned, the hero sparse. more squint and initiation into manhood. my team on which is the staff of men of folk tales and myths in many cultures. and in you me, isabel, the path of the human cells, both individual and collective, that they, that starts off with irish thought, the searching for something important, say the world to mash, that then finds it inside oneself. tell now when it says you either find it inside you or somewhere really close our porch, boerger says sacred journey,

a bell to one's self. so i see it. john, have spirit chill grows. but i think he washer whichever you ever had some revelations or what he felt like a miracle. anger journeys that he couldn't explain from a materialistic viewpoint. as, as i know, i've had some size into these simple tools year that there's nothing more important than family, for example, or delivery to devote most of your time to your loved ones. in the end, every journey is away helms, to put them on the way home your right to ash and was not happy with one sir. correct? i actually rode all the way to the north pole by on my fat bike up soon before that sir. i've been seeing people and in nordic countries riding their bikes and the snow veritas. and i wondered, but for the one i took a friend bike to my upcoming expedition to the north bowl and they so i rode my bike there and as i was riding alone through the arctic ocean, she hasn't missed something changed in me. so i me, we all leave with endless background noise her even if you are home you. she had

clock's ticking appliances, humming song and so on. in the other, in the arctic flushed, i heard endless silence yecynnia beginning of the only sound i heard you were 1st my heart beat which sounded like a drum beating and seconds here. but my inner voice pier, which started asking questions like up on the law. what are we doing here? we are. so i had to explain to myself that sometimes everything was all right. so at least this what the criminal to enjoy equally. i goshen little un deaf and by the silence paused absolutely eliminated bit ish. and now i see that the arctic is not only design boss to clean space, but just thought i, they show you what the gold you are. yup. no, it's also an incredible sound chamber. sidney place where you can with sheer yourself. here in the rushing far is she pulling my of legendary senior for a russian traveler renew from the early 20th century mother. michael was also a prolific writer, and he never had

a formal education from that. his knowledge was impressive. many russian travelers of the past come were a self educated edison complete thing. the age of self education is over or is at home the beginning yard, almost thought, well, i don't think it's over and i don't think it'll ever beach over. no, you see there are 2 k of people that deal with those who think about doing something. absolutely. and those who actually do things in our family are those who do things you simply act on their ambition. yeah. which is like when i 1st said that i wanted to make a film shield because when everyone started saying it's a very complex of fair that you needed team budget and all that. yeah, the stud 7 days after i said it, what i was already filming, and she caught her with a crew that was in the world. i just went for it was deal to. so i have the idea in the evening which i woke up the next morning. or annual, and i did it 9 o'clock please. what can russian people do to be more like that in their crashed up that it seems like it's part of our character that term dog year

old boy. that was a little thing. it does take us a long time to get started. a new mother stamped them and were always tempted to rely on others that much there. when you have that someone else is going to do your work now matches any fun factor of the liability you mentioned could do a great service to our people starting in a grown lee. or we could come to realize what we are capable of, not pay them, but i'm sure you can agree that we have immense potential are no, except ourselves for who we are. well, originally negative. mm hm. are those will yield almost position. why i think it depends on how you were raised as a when, when yarborough's o n a got m a pretty wicked education is also important as online. and i'm not talking about academic education, learning math and so on. formally, the live that value color. sure. when you learn culture, when you learn values you develop the desire to keep going forward, the idea to develop further even what so. so it's essentially about having a pension for developing me to an eagerness to learn much leticia. can you have

that without traveling around your country or start? i think so, just it's just the traveling is one of the simplest ways to learn new things or so . but if you want to learn something, you don't always have to run an expedition with a huge team and rides on the to the north pole and offend bike break unless you can start by getting your are or is it hoping on your bike and exploring the neighborhood that you'll discover lots of things gone. i'm sure that most people haven't even been to some of the areas next to their homes in after that you can go further and eventually come here to the russian far east. for example, 6 people usually constrain themselves to a number of routes. well, i think you're talking about coming back from the virtual world to real life and separate the can. you can only know the world if your data step into uncharted territory. don't buy any more bills long. sure, no not. you must always start by doing that soccer. good. it's to been, then you just look and see where it takes you. there are many roads to take a distal amused asked elsie bus linear. one last question now has on all time

magazine forecast, masnik grey shanie, did she within the next 50 years in senior bus going quite a for see higher the serious climate change in you can say go to that same erie and the arctic hold of the 2 places where people can hide from this braiding heat and humidity ah, cap on that quote, right. what do you think about this whole cast of media? is the arctic prepared to house millions of displaced people? it just took awesome when it comes to global warming. yes, the problem does exist away gleiss of glaciers. kirk melting with my own eyes running. i saw a place i had seen 10 years before and it looks completely different. kimco that the ice level has changed visibly in some carting one place where you can see that it is the arctic part of your katya. we knew days menial, sir. all the islands there, such as the new port new siberian island. so, but he consists of which he for, well deserved, yeah. dirt mixed with icy of throw on there was abuse. i don't know how it came to

be, but it's essentially a mixture of dirt the course and ice postal. ok. so what's happening with these islands is that this dirt or just the lag, and heaps melting away in the sun, salsa. when we approach the shore, ourselves, throw out the breeze, our gps track sant that, sir. we had reached the same point we deal if where we had got off for the last time, the door that there was no land there. radius, we had another 115 meters to go stuff in this of the islands in last 150 meters of land in just 5 years. yeah, now it's simply melted into the ocean, the update. but this means that the water level rose accordingly caught the greenhouse effect, grew stronger, and all kinds of other consequences are taking place in her keeping. and there's just one place or we can imagine what's happening to the planet on the global scale . shoppable changes are underway in the arctic sure is a big blazer, which has a greater digit potential for our country of illness kits. good. that we have now

started developing the arctic and the far east. the key to you can't have such vast territories without putting them to good use. the credit that we have, what i think is a good symbiotic relationship with the indigenous population. so some like where money companies are come to develop resources and come, but give back to the locals by building infrastructure. it allow 5 or 10 years ago, our people would live or in a lonely place, lost in the snow, with one lamp, posts lighting the road to port the brush and now they have more than houses with internet access, cafes and a t. m machines thumb while as governor la roman abramivitch will come carried out a really impressive renovation campaign in chicago. come what carol might take whelan, which is the eastern most settlement in eurasia zillow. the place with a view of alaska. if you go there, talk of all you will see rows of needs, scandinavian style houses in different colors, but i will see the end of one old,

lopsided house between them that looks really run down to skin during our visit clean. we asked her if there was someone who could to give us advice on the route we had planned or that will let them. and the locals directed us, sir to the local hunter who actually lived in that house when your oily but we asked and want to talk. why wasn't your house rebuilt? like all the others? little and he said, you know, when the government decided to rebuild this place, slash half of the people wanted to keep their old homes retained. yeah, so the government, we found ways to lew them out of town and it's sending them to health results and so on. your storage end, while the people were out of town date, rebuild their houses. but the hunter refused to go anywhere. why, what's up? i'm a hunter. after all, he said what the dog is that also his house remained as it was. and now she says, like, my house is a monument to how unreasonable and ignorant i was, feel it when he saw the comfort so that the new houses offered. she realised that he should have allowed his home to be rebuilt $2.00 when you can. the new houses

are really comfortable while back down. we have to live here, but i really appreciate your time today and wish you all the best sold the locking of your future trial of assume. thank you for watching hope to hear again on well, the part ah with. mm hm. ah, ah ah
