in the west, it's called a marriage of convenience, but for russia and china, their relationship is strategic. and an alternative to the west, so called the rules based horner. what the west refuses to recognize the russians in the chinese practice. and it's called multi polarity with operation the aerodynamic began shortly after well,

want to and lasted almost 3 decades. it wasn't a major effort to try and split the ukraine off from the soviet union, u. s. intelligence together with hypnos, executioners, jane, hundreds of savages to be deployed in the soviet union. just august was on the east of alberto, so we'll have started with server shoes. one yes. today, security service of ukraine use is not only the statistic methods, but also the ideology of the nationalist a ah mm

. this is the ancient lake by called more specifically, the island of fallen, also known as the heart of by cult. straightaway you can feel something mystical here, a place of unique traditions, an amazing mix of cultures and peoples. but what makes this place so appealing? we're going to speak to some of the most prominent locals of our horn and uncover some of its secrets are ah,

for. 3 2 ah, we're on our way to see you, william with his guide or family has been on our horn for several generations, reserving the islands legacy, taking care of the local museum. 3 2 ah julia, hello, thanks for meeting us here. oh, such an interesting interesting place. tell me, have you lived here your entire life and what gives you the motivation to stay here and preserve this culture in this heritage for everybody? i think when i was young, my parents used to bring me here to visit my grandparents that i spend whole summer here. you've got one thing i can say about all hon island is that i've never wanted to live anywhere else. but, but when you come to all hon. yeah. especially in summers you get the sense of

freedom is not good. and i don't just mean to move around. do i'm talking about a state of mind who would know you're surrounded by endless blue sky? will the see the mountains and the vast steps that i am i just go with it gives you an undescribable feeling of inner freedom with them. there is no way i'd trade being here for anything else. i the all hung museum is my life's work, and much more. it's my duty to carry on the legacy of my ancestors. he, it's life in my yeah, it's not just my life, but my whole family's to this such a wonderful energy to this place. you could feel it, but it's also bringing more traffic to all horn into the island. is this hurting the energy here or does it help in some way? is there a balance here? oh, nice not. you didn't like that. there is no clear answer. it's stuck with all hahn is millions of years old blue. it was here before you. it's alive now. you and it will live on it. see, i wouldn't say that the energy of this place is negatively affected him. so i'm

really looking forward to seeing the museum. can you show me the way i'm gonna share this way? so jojo, we are in the museum that your grandfather built. and there is a theory that the center of civilization is in africa, but we're getting more information that another center is right here in by call. or in fact, are, we know that native americans can trace some of their ancestry back here to by called, can you tell me a little bit more about that particular unit of cars that pro, i'd like to tell you about a researcher from your could scott, who spent his life studying league by carl i. his name was thing islov girl off. indeed he has since passed away, nor the idea he put forward. it was that at one time before the by called bass and was formed a present. this area was inhabited by one of the oldest civilizations on the planet at new some of then when the tectonic plates started to shave down and the bottom

of lake michael began to sink. this entire population sank under the water with a touch of ne, borrowing from the name atlanta, the girl off called this civilization by carlita. and it's an uncontested fact that the people that inhabited on island migrated eastwards because this was during h in times. and the exact reason is still unknown than you would. it could have been due to an advancing lace here. don't get over. maybe they were simply traveling, look, or perhaps they followed animal herds to retain a source of food. good, whatever the reason they went east to leave you at that time, the bearing straight that did not exist. no, and the 2 continents were connected through a narrow land way which sciences slater called the bearing land bridge. busy. through this land bridge, people could cross to the other side and saddle there because it is believed that these people were the original north american indians. for several years, the experts conducted or he illogical research and excavations, gifts and scientists carried out various lab tests tell you it was confirmed that

the people who lives in the bi col, region and on all hon islands the, where the ancestors of the north american dns yeah, so it's really is a melting pot and mixture of cultures and mixture of religions. um, so how does it affect people on the island? do people get along here? we do not love this. miss allison, that we do have a mix of cultures here and not just in the sense of every day culture needed. we've had people of orthodox faith, sham hands, buddhists, catholics, and muslims. a major ta, tardy, asper is so yes, this place really is a melting part of this is normal. people would pass along parts of their culture and borrow other tribes. customers on you these days, almost all the bureaus. and in general, the people living here play combined the practices of both shamanism and orthodox christianity. i know when they go to church services, but they also observe the customs and traditions of shamanism. she forgets members of any other faith that happened to be on the island here, respect these geminus,

tick rituals, and the practices are strictly observed him. so that's the kind of cultural influence we've experienced hundreds. if i look around the museum, i see many interesting artifacts and exhibits. i understand some of the artifacts that you have here are really rich in heritage and culture and historical. can you show me some of the artifacts that you have? but it never let me show you then because in one so you tell me about this is very interesting. good advice pregnant? well, this is part of a garage you're to le, traditional housing, who yet it usually has 8 walls and every space serves a specific purpose. you in the fireplace was in the center, and it's where the family guardian spirit dwelled us in the master of the fire and the urine. eat. i better when the family sat down to eat or had guests over the 1st bite was always given to the fire at the skies,

only after that they would start eating it. the the bur outs believed that fire purified everything, cleaned the urine from evil spirits that could harm residence. don't say. so, this is the central part. when i go there were also the east and west sides of the yard of the east side was for women. william jose because a woman has children, the giver of life, the beginning of a new life and the sun rises in the east and a new day begins. this symbolizes the beginning of something new zealand scow. ah, you men occupied the west facing part of the yard where the sun sets in the west and the days over that will be end. death was instant men were hunters and warriors . they brought death. now, yes, but you won't. and if there was a baby in the yard on the cradle would be between the entrance and the fireplace. if that's where they would hide it, you might. the fire was supposed to protect the baby from all evil spirits. again, that'll show my nests. used various elements to protect them and gone so that there

is one hanging over there. but they made them to be extremely scary looking, shamans would make spirits dwell in such an angle, so it would gain protective powers. ah, that's why they had to look terrifying. so that evil spirits trying to get into the yard would be scared and run away. j d e's up but here is another symbol. thorne's got sir gay asked me if you can see these posts all around. i'll han sir damien's tethering post. what it was used to tie horses up as they're a flat steps all around here, i guess. after riding for days, they needed rest and, but they couldn't tie their horses to just anything. so we're out started installing these posts on the boundaries between their villages. soon the sir, gate posts became sacred, narrow because they turned into meeting spots between families and tribes them garage. they would spray them in a ritual, as, as they believed they had sacred powers. with the guarding spirit grew stronger and people began to do rituals near them. i guess,

but them stylistic google and provide god i love how everything has not just a purpose, but it also has a meaning to it as well. um you mentioned about shamanism, it's not just a part of the culture or religion. it's a really important part of all of everything here, but i wanted to go with it. can you tell me more about shamanism in greater culture? so my knees with the text garage? am? shamanism is not really a culture or religion. ray. it's more like the world view of the variety of people living here. in ancient times, people watch different processes are analyzed them and made conclusions. even if

there was a storm, there won't be any fish really. and you know, if there is thunder, isn't it? is going to rain. if there is drought, there won't be any harvest toys yet. they connected all these processes to territorial spirits of its shamanism is the belief that everything has a spiritual master. and you should be very careful with the spiritual world. mean you shouldn't damage nature over to it is more like a world view and people have maintained it for generations. i see celia, have you ever visited a sherman or do you believe in a shaman powers? yes, a minute to be got. well, i've never tried to them, i believe in that power, but it should be a last resort. i am lucky to have never been in a situation where i might need it of some weeks when i'm ill. the doctor can diagnose or treat me as to me. i think you could, you have to understand that shamanism is not to be messed with it, but you have to be careful with it. of really cha mans, communicate with evil spirits as well when they enter a trance with the spirits of the underground. and he brought us,

it's not right to think of them in terms of good and evil spirits can harm people sometimes. so you shouldn't go after the services of a showman, for sheer curiosity. um, you can talk to them, but ask for their help only when you have no other option ones and i never had to thankfully, of the both noise. all hon is the heart of shamanism in eastern siberia, those because its energy is strong here and you have to face the spiritual world, whether you like it or not, do sometimes the spirits guide you as people say, some unemployed. any one can go out into the woods or did you get lost none and simply travel in circles until they die. he put them you. nobody knows why this happened. allah! a person can be living here his whole life and still get lost once he leaves his village from when you this has happened more than once, media of another thing, but you must always make an offering to the spirits at the highest mountain between the town of career v and the ferry lou, but the tip of all hans,

spirits are powerful. they're not, not you have to make an offering of even if you don't believe in spirits most but you, when i was a child with my family lived an ungodly school. it's unbelievable, and one time we came to the island by car with our friends, like you believe it was in the seventy's when cars were slow and the roads bumpy? will we? but we stopped to have a snack. can you? the sir gave posts. um he not the very that i was 7 with my brother was 14, there was another boy with us, my mother and the boy's father who was driving him. the boy and i saw coins is scattered by the sir j. u. so we ran to collect them, i didn't get enough, could you look at the man said, go on, but i will pay for the fairy with them. the fairy wasn't free back then. was it really that? so we boarded the boat to 7 year olds in the back seat to run. the fairies were small, the only fit 2 cars. our car was at the bag, which is the blue ridge. the ramp was lifted by chains and the fairy set sail with

another half way across the all. hans keyboardist trade, the fairies and, and died. i mean, the ramp fell down and our car started to roll back towards the water. i put on bulls. all the men on the fairy tried to hold on to the car. he leave the boy and i are the ones who collected the coins were in the back seat. good yet the ferry was narrow and we couldn't open the car doors this machine, you could go north with the sure. sure. as soon as we were out, the engine started again here the ramp was able to close and the car stopped moving . what would you will even spirits after that? if my mother became a believer, things like this happened here all the time. the keys, shamanism is all around here. you face it and you can't help. but believe in it is someone is when you viewed it and you get if once again felt givers in it, unless review it with. yeah, it's been an incredibly interesting conversation. i certainly learned about thank you very much. me

since shawn ism is an integral part of the culture here we to decided to receive our blessings and we're going to see volunteer her guy of the chief show me on here on a horn valentine. hi. this is us. i father. i just had tied a green ribbon on to the pole here. i hope that's a good luck color. hope that means something good for our team. at the close of mac, it's a good omen. emily green is the color of the earth. love the earth and the sky will help you. blue being the sky and green the earth over. it'll help you in the hopefully all of us ever thought that there be peace and harmony fall is like less if she won't remember them. come over here. these are see again, so tethering post 4 horses, said jack, one are gods, who descended from the sky or cards came down here to save the world from evil.

these spirits are all across the shores of by col. we'll see. but these posts are here because the chief cut lives in this rock, according to legend, what your pool was uber, what the go ahead, if you good. so it seems to me that being a sharman, you have to be knowledgeable about medicine. you have to know about the spirits, but also how do you have to be a psychologist as well for your, for, of course, for my shamrock needs to know how to be a psychologist, an oracle, a healer, and a fortune teller. well, he must be all for things for the how often do people come to see you and i, can you give me an example of what they come to see for lucia? but of them who are the people come with all kinds of requests. so low self and they asked for spells to protect and rituals or rights to increase crop yield, a candle, breeding, hunting, or fishing? i think there are also birth and age related rituals for you from marriages to

burial ceremonies, all the events that happen in our lives. we're talking about we only perform rituals if we're are just living. this is her mother. he had a home a a, a. is there anything that is taboo or anything that's forbidden? i a ritual that you as a showman will not or cannot do? you will judge the bull away and i will never do a ritual to start war that we don't want was that we won't agree to harm any one or

do evil to others. what evil violent or wicked things are taboo and something will refuse to do what guns can you treat any thing with the help of a showman? yet there is a shifting cover. so even of course not to day modern medicine can do almost anything like that. we stay clear. sometimes we use traditional healing practices when people come to us on the list, otherwise we let professional doctors do their job, wouldn't get any medicine. is there to treat people there. and we look after the spiritual part hobby or the full year. and what about people relying too much on shamanism? is it where you actually have to refer people to actually go see a traditional western medicine or usa such things happen. of course if a sharma knows he can't really help someone will send them to a doctor. if there is a broken bone, for example, filled up and the patient needs

a splint or a cast that they need to see a doctor, what does your does nothing, a shaman can do. in this case, i could hit my tambourine a 1000 times and it wouldn't help build a sham and needs to be able to tell people when they can't help. let's go back to yours. what is a common misconception about sharman is that you would like to clear up or what is something that you can tell people that they don't know about? shamanism law. most people's idea of a sham on is a person jumping around and beating a tambourine. what a good, it's a general misconception. you need to understand that a sham on is some on equipped with spiritual knowledge. i need someone who knows the legends and traditions of the people. he's the bearer of the people's spirit in russia. traditional shamanism is practiced among indigenous ethnic groups, the inhabiting siberia, the north, and the far east. you don't want some russians, italians or french might have is just a hobby, neo shamanism which is not the same. her traditional shamanism is a religion,

a faith practiced by indigenous ethnic groups. while neo shamanism is like a punk some culture, but the neo shamanism and traditional shamanism. these are 2 entirely different thing. what's i told you that you needed to be a sharman? how did you know that shamanism was your calling lawyer? it was tradition that initiated me into sha manhood. from when the yeah. then i started learning studying the religion. i can't say i've always known i'd be a showman for you. i didn't know. i lived like many other people worked at a factory, i served in the army, just like most people of my generation. and then i was chosen to become a sherman of which was and i took up my new duties for that infancy curriculum. what did you see about the future, or what can you tell us about? or even your hopes about humanity and what we can expect. moving forward, more humankind is standing at the threshold. there's a choice to meg,

either to slide back and become light, reptiles crocodile gift or move forward to spiritual height and become better people at each turn at every rebirth. a person should become better, stronger, more beautiful than that, and closer to perfection. each time we need to take one small step upwards and become a little bit better than before, every person needs to work on themselves, improve and re educate themselves. so it's very important. i thank you, dear. sure, do bear with me here on a hornet magic is everywhere and it can be clearly expressed through art. and it can be seen through the eyes of artist dashing, knock off with

dashing. hi, hello. thank you for having us in your workshop to see where the magic is made. you yourself started as a local branching artist. and now your world famous and you said that your success is based on your roots. i'm at home. can you tell me about that? that they are a thought, i think it's because i'm still a barrage to an artist. it's just a geography in some regard has become wider. yeah. this area around black carl has

given me everything. knowledge, culture, history. how would you by, coll has a vast history if archaeological findings indicate a great civilization was here a few century b. c. it's a fascinating world. hm. i thought into this thing. interesting. now you're an artist, but also every one in your family is an artist as well. talk to me a little bit about a is a genetic do you think or is it nurture the, the surrounding culture has inspired, you know? yeah, well i think it's both, but mostly i would say it's genetic, but the more for generations, my ancestors were craftsmen calling you back, then it was difficult to call in the heart of him in those times, just like in renaissance europe. artists were jacks of all trades, and so were our ancestors isn't a good night. they would create everything from daily items to church goods. and you might, in some way, that is an art people by can had a lot of knowledge and a lot of craft to you or movie mr. now, your sculpture on cape a hub,

boy is known as the guardian of by call. we went out to visit it, it's, it's beautiful piece, but you call it the father of by call. is there a difference? do you have a different meaning to this particular piece of artwork? and i would ask of you, the kid in bureaucracy and language i call it by girl by they go by weight that were by girl is by carl and by they is father. according to our ancient tradition, there are 13 date is around by carl. and we worshipped the 13 keepers of the lake, but as i united them all in one face to emphasize this ancient culture. to me, it's a collective image. the related to the national culture and beliefs of the local population of the public knows it as the keeper of biker, but to me, it's by gal buffet. now we live at an age of multiculturalism, where sometimes local indigenous cultures can get lost in their identity. can be

lost forever. what do you see yourself as kind of a guardian of brach in culture, or maybe at least preserving your culture for future generations to come? no, yeah, boomers, well, i do this deliberately mindfully minimize the knowledge i have from my ancestor says, am i pass it on using the instruments i possess? being a sculptor, i cast my art in bronze or willow rider or musician. i would of course be different . no, i use visual are to pass on this knowledge. but i keep saying though, i grown that we are losing our culture of this knowledge, an alarming pace. now this is what worries me a lot, which is in your work is an exciting. it's energetic, it's fantastic. um there's also it can actually be intimidating in some ways, but there's also definitely a magical quality to it. do you think that there's

a mystical side to being an artist as well? mo ya's name, i don't know about other artists. another cultures of nick. well, i think what i do is characteristic of my people know and siberian people's in general, the union for it or it is only being characterized as buddhist. start for the past few centuries of western before that it was considered a pagan culture of even today. and buddhism in this region was strongly mix with pagan culture. what got it? i think this pagan aspect shows quite strongly in my article because siberia is mighty most iberia is all about this raw power through it. and so as by karl that somebody been with it's wins and extreme temperature studio and see if it's cold here. it's freezing. when it's hot here it's hotter and my art is much like nature in it. whether i wanted or not. it's just the way it is super vegan. i used. thank you very much for taking us, taking the time to see us. it's been a pleasure, a might lose. mm

ah ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're said shorter is it conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence

at the point of this is to place trust rather than fear a various job with artificial intelligence. real somebody with a robot most protective phone existence with hi, i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to play with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different opinions that you won't get anywhere else working with please. or do you have the state department to see a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations, to your fax for you? go ahead, change and whatever you do, don't watch my show,
