Real Life in Remote Villages of Siberia. How people live in Russia in winter

This film, shot in the Irkutsk region, follows life in remote Siberian villages where diverse ethnic groups—Buryats, Tatars, Holenders, Veps, and others—maintain traditional lifestyles amid modern challenges. The Buryats live in harmony with nature, practicing cattle breeding and Buddhism; Tatars contribute rich culinary traditions and crafts; Holenders bring European woodworking and pottery; Veps preserve mythological rituals and fishing. Despite harsh climate, limited healthcare, and infrastructure, these communities remain resilient, relying on local resources and mutual cooperation to sustain cultural traditions and family ties.
