[000:00:00;00] the far east is becoming a tourist region. most travelers this year visited yakutia. legion attracts with its natural beauty and ethnic flavor and varied cuisine. read more in stas’s special report . summer road to client pillars, it can be tiring if you go to them by car, but all the holes are hubs and hours of shaking, you forgive the permafrost, once you get into the boat your heart freezes

, your phone memory quickly runs out, and only philosophical thoughts come to your mind lena pillars, a real miracle of nature. and of course, the main attraction of yakutia is that tourists come here not only to admire these seemingly unearthly forms. well, think about life, by the way, speaking about life on our planet. these rocks are closely related. the fact is that they originated simultaneously with modern ecosystems on our planet. in general, peers are not tall enough. in general , the rocky peaks of rare ones reach up to 200 m. it becomes an adventure in itself. it seems that one and a half kilometers of stairs are endless, but next to these stone giants, you understand there is nowhere to rush when you have yourself in front of you. personality, they are also called the mountains of the rebel gods in another way. that is, in principle, these days there were places that only shamans and doganki could get to. that is, as if common people had access here, in principle, these were sacred places. we can say that

the vienna pillars is a national park with an area of ​​more than a million hectares, included in the world heritage list. unesco despite the cold winters. tourists come here all year round. and it is extremely important to maintain a balance between mass tourism and the nature protection function of the park . now very interesting projects have appeared, which combine on the one hand. this is a unique natural monument, and on the other hand, so that the maximum number of people can visit this wonderful sacred place. yes, enjoy the beauty. uh, there will be a lot of work going on to build new stairs. uh, unique individuals who, well, will be much more convenient than the current ones so that more people can climb to the very top. that's how you are there observation deck. let’s say,

fedya is walking there, yasha is standing there with his wife. over there, a trip through the national park, like a kind of trip in a time machine, and the zones and yakutia were created for each other 5,000 years ago, these grandiose, graceful , respect-inspiring animals were the masters of the local taiga and then disappeared. and now they are returning to their once native places; it turns out that the microclimate is ideal for them. and i must say that there are already more than 300,200 of these animals in the wild here. but these are also in the nursery. very soon they are being prepared to go to the local forests, the ancient ancestors of these bison moved to north america and in 2006, the first batch of 30 animals was brought from canada by the matriarchy. see not the nursery emphasizes this with luxurious female names baroness. the bykovs have simple russians, for example, yasha or fedya, who

run the show here. they ran, apparently. meat she ran and they all ran after her. now in ust-bots, with the help of bisons, they teach people to respect nature and popularize ecotourism, bisons can teach people that recently it is to be greedy why? because their appetite is very restrained. the guys are cultured in this regard. that’s the most important thing, that i can get nothing from the bison, uh, very crazy, and berezhnaya treats her children responsibly. that is, they constantly protect them, constantly feed them, constantly watch them, and their mother loves them very much. well, love is caring, the main human quality is the most spectacular way to get there, the national parkent pillars cruise from yakutsk is one of the twelve routes of yakutia along one river itself

russia has, of course, plans to modernize the river fleet, and it is clear that the lena river itself with its attractions, including not only our client fleet, they give us, uh, confidence and prerequisites for us to continue developed river tourism, including purchasing new high-speed vessels. lately we have had a very high demand for day cruises and day trips to the lena pillars. well, i left in the morning and arrived in the evening for many. it is very convenient lena pillars - they are not only lined up from 40-kilometer-long stone walls. we will go up to the kulans, which is what these sands are called, and from above there is still a beautiful view of the river. the climb to the other side will be steep. yes, the climb is so interesting. let’s try to get around here a little to the right, and over time the sands are blowing more and more towards the shore. the wind blows the rivers, and they capture more and more of them. they fill up the trees, the trees gradually die,

then here are more of these trees. he can understand that, in general, the sands were not here before. yes, the higher the ridge the majestic dunes, the smaller the midges, people are here, of course, but when they eat wild animals, they are found on the sand, more often than not, no one really knows how they appeared here. well, it’s really just a sea of ​​sand in the middle of the sea, the taiga of yakutia is surprising, and perhaps this region is primarily associated with snow, of course, but who would have thought that there could be a real desert here, an amazing land, our guide vitaly druzhinin , actually, he was born and raised in khakassia but has been a tourist for 2 years now. yakutia in july a very good swimming pool appears because a very cool shore is formed. and now he comes straight here to shop, take a walk , and take photos on these sands. that is, in one day you have here taiga and sand and water and everything in a row, that is, in general, a full-fledged

specific vacation such as yakut inclusive yakut can always be said so, despite the growth in tourist flow. here, according to druzhinin, is a traveler. you can still feel like a pioneer in a vast territory, with only a million people living at the moment in the plan. yakutia is something like know-how, this is something wild, unknown and interesting, this is a region where tourism is now just beginning to develop. that is , it’s already charged. well, it’s developing and some kind of peak is still ahead, and then it gradually increases in people’s interest and interest. if that year we did, say, rafting, that is what i do full-time in the summer. and if we did people there, it was 700 per season, that is, now it’s already reaching. there are up to one and a half thousand people there. and everything in yakutia has a special character, it seems to be a desert; in the hot summer, on the surface the sand can heat up to 70°, but at depth. ice, it seems, was the only place where they were able to turn frost into a tourist attraction . due to global warming, scientists

are using the term less and less, eternal is one of the symbols. yakutia to this natural phenomenon. there is even an entire museum dedicated to this natural freezer. we kept a strategic stock of food. well, now they keep the emotions of visitors in the cold. the breath of people settles on the walls in bizarre ice crystals. instead of tons of fish, meat and oil, in these adits sparkling from the ice there are ice sculptures. in winter, when it is -50° outside, you can warm up here, and in the 40-degree summer heat , the air temperature here is -5°, and it is maintained naturally , that is, permafrost, gives off this cold. a and uh, it feels a little colder here because the humidity is high, but in winter the temperature is. about the same, well, it is about -7°. when it

's -50 outside, you can warm up here, and this museum is, probably, the most unique, because it’s rare that there is a room for storing ice sculptures in such a huge quantity, and there is also an ice slide on which you can ride, or this winter it’s one of the official residences of the yakut father frost spirit, chiskhan’s cold any natural phenomenon. yakutia has its own patron spirit and it is better to have a good relationship with everyone. apparently , the spirits are happy with people and communicate with the deities. here, through rituals, one of the strongest, the sun, is addressed through tobacco a huge tambourine made from the whole skin of a three-year-old bull. before we hit the tobacco , we all make our wishes about ourselves and our loved ones. yeah, what's to come? what to get rid of?

yeah, what we want is a lot of wishes, we make a lot of wishes, we hit the tobacco three times and with these sounds our wishes go to the sun , the sun to fulfill that one, therefore, after your third hit, raise his hands and exclaim three times ayhau. ai-how, glory to the sun glory to the sun. glory to the dream of the sun , let's hit the tobacco. yakutia in general has a lot of symbols and secret signs valentina atlasova explains, three huge pillars above the jam. it’s just that the cis is a ditch, although everyone has been driving cars for a long time, but srg now has a different role - it is a symbol of the three-part world of the upper divine lower unpleasant spirits and our average

person. let's say nothing bad in the yard of our house, and to those around us , such harm is done against nature, and then they always act positively . the concept in russian is a blessing , a blessing we receive from the most powerful spirit of fire. the spirit of fire, having three shadows gives you have your own signs. in your plan , it calmly rises up without jumps and the flame is very thick. the first flame. this says, you stand firmly on your own two feet in this middle world. the flame immediately spread and

the man in front of me says this so high, a long-liver among the world at the moment is buzzing and studying you. hmm , it is believed that fire is alive, and everything is alive. in yakutia, it is customary to treat the strongest spirit of these places. since ancient times, they have been fed with the most expensive flour products. i will ask the strongest spirit, who has three shadows, to bring him closer to to us of the upper deities of deer, not far from the capital of the republic, another example of the careful preservation of the traditions of peoples. yakutia family or new ones received land under the far eastern hectare program for the wife. dedushkino continue. he was in charge or he had it

before, when he was still alive there. well, how would this matter then be handed over, in short, to his nephew’s relatives, well, who couldn’t handle it and the new ones want to restore the herd. to make this camp, also a center of ethno-tourism not far from yakutsk, in general it was somehow treated differently before, well, lines up to the deer. well, i also think why, and then when we got them, i already fucking ran home from work and came straight here. and in yakutia the food is very tasty. there is tomorrow turkish english continental and why did we judge worse in yakutia and came up with our own basis for everything, of course, meat , venison beef, foal without meat, perhaps only pancakes, here they are affectionately called pancakes, and for locals, a common thing for tourists is surprising at crucian carp table. this is like a signature dish, probably

some kind of feature of yakut cuisine, straight yakut cuisine, so it will be integral, i think, and well, everyone knows about it and everyone. forgive the crucian carp to eat narrow crucian carp breakfast, it’s just really cool. so please eat, yes, yes, in general, after such a breakfast you are full all day. well, that’s not all desserts and whipped up as part of the culinary tradition of the yakuts, many will be given a head start by cooking here not only on fire, but also in the cold. it's called moscow shavings, when people try it for the first time, they take it. these are the slices of small, smooth dishes, without which it is impossible to imagine northern cuisine of stroganina. so after all, this is raw fish, we can do it. oh, it's already ready. uh, that is, i mean when ready at subzero temperatures. that

is, it is caught under the ice. and when it’s already caught, it’s immediately frozen, and then it ’s cooked for a month. hmm when it’s -50-60° in our winter. we have it lying in the open air for months, a master class from the star chef and yakutia nikolai atlasov, the stroganin goes only to winter ice fish, both frozen broadleaf, salt, pepper and a yakut knife, sharpened on one side. he as if specially created for this primitive dish, there are immediate safety rules. we don’t hold it like that so that yes. if the side flies off, yes, yes, thick everywhere, you will regenerate, here it is indicated. little siberians are probably watching and rooting

for me now. come on guy. you can make normal yakut shavings outside of yakutia and russia with wild, delicious natural products. in yakutia they have learned to present haute cuisine according to the standards. yakutia may well be a point of gastrotourism due to the weather and all the products that survive in such conditions. true, they have both in taste and in their richness and in their vitamin content in general about our culture. here. well, i really love it. for my country i am a patriot to the core, and i have this phrase. we are what we eat and when you come to any city and

when you see many chinese japanese restaurants and italian restaurants, you feel a little sorry for your motherland. we have amazing cooking. venison fish is a fireworks of taste on the plate, but the peaks of yakut gastronomy are foal. this is the only meat on the planet that is completely digested. the body takes up to 4 hours to another. meat takes up to 24 hours to digest. this is a unique product, and the lukins cook it in russian ovens in a way that is now rarely seen in the restaurant business. gentle heat treatment and many hours of simmering allow us to maximize the taste of unique yakut products ; we prepare confections from foal meat. these are foals from the oven. why confit because it is a slow cooking product, it turns out we cook from the foal itself and

together. eh, the minced meat comes with fried apples and also the fat itself comes from the oven, but the minced meat is completely made, and then we twist the candies from the dough, for example. russian tourists are turning to the east; the regions of the far east are leaders in terms of the growth rate of tourist flows; yakutia is in the top three; this year the largest region of russia receives a third more guests. after all, not only natural ones. uh, sights, starting from the very north with the polar lights, and or from the pole of cold with its unique temperature , the lowest on earth. uh, where does a person live, uh, up to the summer pillars, yes industrial tourism in our uh, in our southern yakutia, for example, in neryungri or

mirny where these deepest diamond quarries are. uh, the other question we have is that unique holidays are held here on wonderful holidays. the largest national holiday in russia takes place here in yakutsk; in the republic they place a big bet on the development of the tourism potential of the region, in addition to federal support measures , local programs have been launched to support businesses aimed at developing tourism in the first place turn, of course, for us this will be connected with the creation of infrastructure for our business, which could create a not very large, perhaps, uh, russian scale facility. there are 20 rooms to 30 rooms. uh, recreation centers, and here in yakutia, for example, this summer we adopted separate laws on territories of local production, which would provide local benefits, including on land property taxes. 2022 was a record year for

yakutia in terms of the number of tourists, more than 230,000 human. we arrived in the republic this year the record will be broken following the improvement of transport infrastructure and assistance to entrepreneurs working in the tourism sector in the region, they also thought about service and introduced a unified hospitality standard in order to attract tourists and give them the opportunity to relax. of course we are starting. structure today we can accommodate 6,100 beds per day to receive tourists; today the republic offers a full spectrum of all types of tourism, and since last year. thanks to our business associations, we have introduced a standard of hospitality. that is, you can be uh, you can be maximally prepared and be maximally unprepared and in the same way. you will be able to spend time with great pleasure. all tourists and business are catching up thanks to the interaction of the region's corporation, tourism of the russian federation and one of the largest hotel chains. countries. yakutsky will build a four-star hotel in 2 years. the amount of investment is more than one and a half billion

rubles, without government support to implement such a large project in the permafrost zone. it would be difficult, of course, we should attract, because ours are, uh, beautiful events in our national color, our nature, and it is very good. our sports republic is developed, huh. there are quite a lot of guests, but to accommodate them, and in one normal hotel, for example, in a large one, i mean, yes, where one chat can be accommodated at the same time, there, unfortunately, today there is no opportunity to admire the pristine nature of yakutia with comfort in the region is becoming larger, this hotel has parks on the banks of the lena that can accommodate couples, families and large groups in modern houses, but with local flavor started traveling. and i began to see and notice that the service that comfort and so that other regions and other countries offer us, they are not available here. well , no, no one is doing this, you didn’t want

to make your loved ones happy, who don’t have such a great opportunity to see the world , to see such a service, and so on, to plant an urban garden. in the middle of taiga , the successful entrepreneur of the world decided several times. she left yakutia but returned every time and now she invites you to visit. here, the khandalak region, in general, all the attractions for tourism, practically yakutia , are here on their own. eh, the space of yakutia. it’s so unique, you should definitely visit it, because everything is interesting to look for and it’s cold. so is the midge. mosquitoes fishing, hunting here. it's good here. fishing, especially northern where raccoons flow into the poisonous ocean, can talk for hours about the roman shawls chirnelma omul sea omul. eh, we all know from baikal that it is well-expanded. eh, here he is small, huh

our sea fish is like butter with the taste of fish, the most tender meat if you make stroganin from sea omul. this is just a song, well, nelma, after all, it’s not us, it’s the queen of taste , uh, preferences, romance, comrade, and now, as a business partner, we dreamed of a fabulous hunting bunny, and for the same lovers of the north, we built a hunting house over the years. an entire ecological ethnographic complex has grown up here, where you can get acquainted with the life of the first russian settlers and even live in a real merchant’s house in winter. yakut laikas ride tourists in sleighs. could you explain why people who know it firsthand and only know it from a geography lesson need to come to yakutia? this is the largest region of the country. well, here nature is so

unique, of course, here is the blooming tundra. in the spring you need to see how bright the colors are there. you just need to see it. and this is the riot of life, when waders, ducks , seagulls are all, this is the chorus. this uh birds the most visited place in yakutia at the end of last year was an active recreation park 15 minutes from the capital of the region, and various festivals from gastronomic to musical regularly take place here; panoramic views of yakutsk; walking paths in the forest ; rope park line; and cozy guest houses ; more than 350,000 people arrive here. this is the main population of yakutsk, but not only of yakutsk but also of the republic. and now every year the park has become, well, famous, and therefore, well , there are more and more tourists every time, now in russia morning tourism is developing very much.

it has most likely opened in china now. there will be an influx from the people's republic of china since it is, well, closer, and there are a lot of tourists. yakutia is a real treasury of russia, from gold, silver and precious stones, local craftsmen make real works of jewelry, yakut diamonds, one of the symbols of the republic and a popular souvenir for established tourists. we have the following collections that manufacturers we produce are the only ones in russia, this is the yakut earth power collection from rough and polished diamonds. this is for them of course, there is a very interesting one. we have a collection of permafrost symphonies, which are also nowhere to be found, this beating. mom is from chromesides, which are mined only in yakutia

, and diamonds. ceramics in yakutia. moreover , you can even make a practical souvenir with your own hands under the supervision of an experienced wall maker. accordingly, i hold my fingers like this in the direction of rotation. here again they pressed a little. and the beauty of the dishes was raised a little, as much here has not only a utilitarian, but also a symbolic meaning, for example, a mug with three legs. not just a fancy cup. this is our yakut vessel charan is a symbol. ah, a symbol of abundance even today, when we give it to our dearest guests or on some memorable anniversaries, yes, but before that it served. eh, for yakutsk rituals the house is full, of course.

of course, in the full sense, there may be different images, but always above and below. we have a certain pattern. the amulets are those that protect us both above and below, so that, uh, the black streak comes, so that evil spirits did not come to our house, despite all the natural resources. the main treasure of yakutia is its people. people who steadfastly endure all adversity in the harshest conditions remain the kindest and smiling people, of which there are only a million people in the endless territory here , there are literally thousands of kilometers between people, but they are closer to each other, no, these are people, as they say here from special dough, frozen at the extreme cold and scorched by the scorching summer sun, infused with ancient customs and seasoned with faith in goodness, people who look straight into the soul do not speak with the tongue , with the heart, and they are attractions in themselves. yakutia yakutia will never be a sea. yakutia. this is not about a beach

holiday. this is not about active recreation, where a person simply switches off from everything. eh, the most important thing is to just go have fun, and yakutia is a fishing tourism. people go to the people of yakutia, despite the aggressive ones. uh, the external environment, but the natural environment. here, uh, a person does not survive if he is not a guest here. lives people who are not about quality yakutians are about quality and about hospitality. yakutia surprises, delights, intrigues, sometimes threatens, but always gives emotions from what you see, from what you eat, from what you experience here at the same time you can feel like a lonely pioneer at the edge of the earth, and in the center of the world , boundless yakutia is different for everyone, but to each their own and everyone who has been here speaks already not the far east but only the distant delight

which is much closer than it seems. we continue our news review vladimir putin had a telephone conversation with president of turkmenistan serdar berdimuhamedov, the leaders of the two countries confirmed their mutual commitment to further comprehensive development of dialogue and joint work on bilateral relations and international issues. this will strengthen security in central asia and the caspian region and will serve for the benefit of the people of russia and turkmenistan. vladimir putin also congratulated serdar berdimuhamedov on his birthday. this morning, an air
