A Day in The Russian Old Believers Village in Altai

“Poles“ is an ethnographic group of Russians resettled after 1763 from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to Siberia (along the Uba River in Altai, partly in Zabaykal’ye). The “Poles” were descendants of Russian Old Believers from the Kaluga, Tula, Ryazan, and Oryol provinces, who settled first in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (in Belarus - in the regions of Starodubye, Vetka, Dobryanka, Gomel, Dorogobuzh), and from there in the second half of the 18th century they were resettled administratively to Siberia. For two centuries, the “Poles” maintained only intra-family marriage ties, avoiding marrying representatives of other Siberian ethnic groups. The village of Poperechnoye is one of the places of settlement of the “Poles”, the most remote settlement in the valley of the Ulba and Uba rivers, 30 km from the border with Russia, as local residents say - the edge of geography. 00:00 Morning 01:28 Feeding calves and cows 04:11 Cooking borsch 07:48 Harvesting 12:43 Locals about the Old Believer’s traditions 15:57 Canning for the winter 24:43 Returning livestock home 31:15 Production of dairy products 📌 🇰🇿Village in the very east of Kazakhstan 📌 🇷🇺 Embracing solitude: life in a remote Ural village 📌 🇷🇺 Hiking Through Abandoned Villages in Kirov Region 📌 🇦🇿 Azerbaijani Village Life in Georgia │ Tsalka plateau 💰 To support: BuyMeaCoffee: Paypal: Patreon: 🪙 Crypto: USDT/ETH: 0xab298c8adb287d13201c0625d9fb9011ceaa4b95 BTC: 1B6mvS6h5FZsczYc6esWMa2Hk7JZBE6Rdr 🌐 My Instagram: 1-Mounth free 🎶: ✍️ Contact me: artmukhametgaliev@
