Old beliver villege

[geekdu11]

The pictures are wonderful !!! And a nice theme... Where can i see the partition ?

[monzterrr]

it is strange, as the Old Believers on the territory of Russia wear beards, its man energy and they dont shave, this guys may be living separately from the civilisation like the Old-believers but i am not sure they have the same religion, it could be some specific cult, but any way all the Old-believers or Trdicionalists wear beards...

[VechnayaZima]

For those wondering - this village is in Tuva Republic, directly above border with Mongolia.

[gaycowboy31]

I got to go visit one of these villages one time we stoped there on a tour if I remember right it was out past Ullan Ude the visit was really brief though we stoped at a home and ate a fairlly large meal and a singing group performed for us but this is what i really would have loved to have seen and photographed this video is alot more personal than what i got to see

[luckylangerie]

there were places like that in ireland twenty years ago but ive not been to those parts since so I cant say if its the same.Gorgeous photos.

[redoftheoaks]

wow.

[minuicch]

[sirjames45]

Thank you for this video! It is so beautiful, and such a far away place that we will never see in person. The sky is so big, and the music was perfect.

[oldsouthern]

So peaceful-

God can be seen everywhere-

Wonderful music also-

old southern-

[bestjonbon]

Remarkable pictures, as lovely as landscape paintings! And the faces are exquisite!

[1952410]

Very beautiful pictures.The images evoke a peaceful solitude. Thanks for posting.

[arunah11]

Exceptional document with some incredibly beautiful pics !

Thank you for posting this very interesting video.

Do you know the book "Hermit in the taiga" about a family of old believers in the taiga who had successfully avoided contacts with 'civilization' ?

But the people in this village seem to be wearing contemporary clothes ( the men at least ).

[cortezawwris]

Yes clothing is gifts and the best way to start a relationship. Yes I have readed that book many years ago.

[arunah11]

The photos are so beautiful that they remind of Alexander Sokurov's films...

[DANILISHINA]

thank you so much for sharing, dear friend! I think these photos, people on the pictures and the nature are the BEST I have ever seen...5 stars, BRAVO to the creator!

Bolshoye spasibo - zametchatelnyi klip!!!

[1952410]

Thanks for sharing the old believer village.Cesar

[gatheringleaves]

I have a question. What are the houses in villages like these like? Both the interior and exterior, and what material is used to make them, also are there any other common buildings in villages like these?

[Bunifaka]

cortezawwris thanks for butiful pictures. I m old believer myself so I enjoyed this video very much but can u tell me plz whats that music playing and who wrote it?

[veritiskaja]

Beautiful music and video!!!

Faces so similar with faces in my old people in Macedonia....

Thanks

[qualqui]

Pristine countryside and ppl. at their most simple and noblest selfs, truly Paradise exists here on earth and its HERE! 5 STARS and glad i'm "stumbled" upon this AWESOME VID!=)

[eismakedon]

Ochin, ochin krashevo! One of the most poetic photovideos I have ever seen...people being one with the land, earth and faces and grassy meadows, trees and animals, and snow on the mountains in the background, and the endless Russian sky...an integral whole...what an experience! Cpasibo!

[mirairyna]

those photographs were simply breathtaking.. they sive you such a feeling of serenity, and peace. thank-you for sharing your incredible talent with the world

[shehan117]

wow

[ETTA48]

I was one of the first watchers of this video, and I keep coming back, because of the stilling music, the peaceful place, but most of all: bacause of that one, old but so beautiful woman with a smile of happiness, warmth, and eyes like diamonds. She speaks with me by her "being", telling that there is nothing to be afraid of, that life is so wonderful, in spite of all...

Thank you, lovely woman, for giving me from your richness...

[letufi]

I also was one of the first watchers and also come back once and again, and I've uploaded to my vlog-

thanks to Mescovic, his photographs and his peaceful and sweet musical compotitions-

[HellenicMagic]

Amazing shots! A real MASTERPIECE! Congratulations! 5 stars!

[Grumpyoldmantrash]

Stunningly good photographs. Thank you for making this video. Thanks to Jodyrea for sharing.

[androclestipster]

What beautiful peacefull images and serene music. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[7wolfs]

lets hope they comntinue with there ways forever

[worldpatriotsunite]

Have too show off your videos again Agnessa my Princess of Peace

[androclestipster]

Thank you very much my friend for thinking of me and sending this video. Beautiful work. Awesome. Thanks.

[sifu50]

This villiage will one day, sadly, be only a memory of those few who have seen it. It is sad that the good places fade away whilst the not so good places continue to grow and thrive - this touched my heart in many places I hope that a few of the descendents of these people return someday to this tiny place that time forgot - if they wpuld only understand it is probably better than wherever they are now.

[cortezawwris]

Thank you for your wonderful comment. Actually many places like this are protected by law in national parks and reserves. It's even illegal for western missionary and there Protestants to visit them. They like to destroy there culture and faith and call them savages who need to be converted. Thought the American's criticize this law for being agianst religious freedom. I seen them after many native faiths in Russia. Calling Orthodox, Islam Shamanic,Buddhism and other faiths barberic.

[eismakedon]

Why make it illegal for American protestant cults to come there! You have a guge country! You should receive them at the airport...then bring them to the train station and immediately ship them to some exotic locale in Siberia, to chop wood and praise the lord! I would go as far as mixing up Mormons, Baptists and Pentecostalists in equal numbers and see who converts whom...and most important...check them out at the end of winter to see who survived the Lord's blessing...the Siberski winter!

[nightspore123]

A sublimely beautiful and life-enriching work of art.

[StasiaD14]

god bless old belivers! that is wonderful! and look where god placed them - look the nature - glorious place to be!

ps: the flag is russian, so where is old belivers village? ukraine? northern georgia? i;m giving up..

[cortezawwris]

Oh it's Russian there Russian orthodox old believers. The village is located somewhere in Siberia.

[MultiNational3Fish]

You can erase my comments but you can not erase the truth and your ignorance.

[cortezawwris]

I erased your comment becuase I have no need for racist Zionist scum commenting there hatred. Go commit another genocide agianst innocent children.

[jodyrea]

I want to come over ...... this reminds me so much of my Mother's families farms ... the only thing that is left of their time and is an old Grain Elevator and lots of wonderful memories as a child ... I miss my Baba's I loved them so ...

[StasiaD14]

thanks jodyrea for sending this video around!

[99thDimension]

Incredible photography you have quite an eye and skill to present these people in a heavenly place. Lucky people to have you take the first pictures of them in their homeland.

[ExtremeAngels]

This is beyond....no words...just sheer awe and splendor!

[Jbear9]

Truly sublime:) Thanks for sharing this with me, Cindy. And thank you, cortezawwris. Any sister of JodyRea's is a Friend of mine! And as for the comment by badass74, just look at his name. These people are what we have the "block" feature for.

[jodyrea]

Beautiful beautiful Russia. Agnessa may this day be just for you ... my Princess of Peace, Slavic Sister, and "protector". May all that you and Mescovic are ... continue to be ... forever and always

[bminternet43]

you have a great way with words.

[someonewhocansee]

So beautiful .. amazing photography ..thanks for sharing jodyrea!

[dalferr]

Beautiful!

[badass74]

hmm i find it strange that the T-shirt one of the older men (@1,11) is wearing it looks rather new:P, or is he a member from your team? cause i can't imagine a village that hasen't been visited since 1600's has made such an shirt by themselves. 1 of the 2 man in the background (@1:43) also wears rather newer jack.:P

[cortezawwris]

The statement was already explained that given clothes as gifts and posing with them for photographs. If you wish me ingnorant in a insulting way I Would block you and delete your comment..

[badass74]

dude you don't have to be so hostile, serious i wasen't insulting you=.= i was only saying something that noticed me, and i didn't know that someone already had said this. but may i ask you from whom they got the clothes? :)

[cortezawwris]

You did not ask in a pleasant way you just stated your opinion insulting somone morality as lier. Which is very deep sin to lie and is dishonorable. The person who produce this video Mescovic was doing border work and surveying the people who lived in remote areas. They liked the clothes and found it interesting so they gave them as jester of friendship and than like being photograph. The girl holding the flowers is me.

[jodyrea]

Dare to believe ... to be or not to be

[anamarie8]

best to you mescovic...

one of the most beuatiful sharings on utube.

thank you.

ana virginia,u.s.a.

[Ukieboi83]

This is amazing! Thank you!

[Ruthenian0103]

The photo 2.06-7-8... is the masterpiece of all the masterpieces in this video. This is real, real ART!

[funkystuf31]

This is beautiful...

[slavophile1]

Beautiful. This community is ancient, and their ways, pure.

[jodyrea]

Agnessa I borrowed this beauty to share - a masterpiece - reminded me of my Mamma's family farms as a girl in Western Canada - Vegreville - Canada's Ukraine

[cortezawwris]

very lovely comment thank you Jody and yes that me holding the flowers.

[omanepadneom]

very good job!, i keep watching 4 times before i can say something!, beauty is not only youngness as medias want to let us beleive nowadays, people here are all very nice to see cause their faces are like an open book, and i'm so pleased to have opportunity to read on thinks to you!, hope to look like grandma at 1.20 one day...and i'm proud to live on this beautiful earth we share all toogether

[lunute]

My family is old believers, we had to leave from Russia 300 years ago and have settled in Lithuania. But I have never seen such beautiful places like in these pictures and faces of people who are too close to God. Thank you very much. It is amazing. God bless you.

[abookire]

Beautiful pictures. Amazing location. I have no doubt these people have had an astonishing lack of contact with the outside world, but they couldn't have had none -- several of them are wearing modern Western-style clothing: t-shirts, etc. The gentleman in 3:50 even has army gear, although it does look more imperial than soviet. Good work.

[abookire]

3:11 not 3:50

[cortezawwris]

Actually there were gifts the new clothes was given when seen them wearing them as sign friendship and take photographs. These types villages of people exist in Romania and also Alaska. The onces old believer villages in Alaska don't even speak english

[Sebmacroaster]

Congrats! really great and amazing photos, beautiful place! I wish this year maybe I can go :), im fan of your work :)

[thegasworks]

Wonderful imagery!!

[happyox]

Beautiful photography and music!

[jcmegabyte]

What great photography and music - Keep up the good work! :-)

[edo569]

Beautiful!

[Vostorgina01]

THIS is what makes Russia great... not parades in Red Square or broad boulevards in Piter. The wisdom and beauty of our naroda shines in the faces of these people.

[flirtin411]

It is amazing that there are still parts of the world untainted by technology and the fast pace of life as it is in cities. its truly beautiful

[letufi]

Mescovic

Where is the location of this beautiful and unbelieavable village?

Beautiful!!!

thanks!

[cortezawwris]

My friend I apologies but can not give you location of the village. The village is in Tyva republic.

[letufi]

Millet and Van Gogh would love this video!-

Me too-, I do love it-

Beautiful people and music-

The photograph of the lonely tree remembers me Tarkovsky s "The sacrifice"-

Thanks for answering to me-

Do you undestand spanish?

[cortezawwris]

Thank you, I cannot speak Spanish my name is a character from a story I like when was a child.

[geogenerated]

Once again, very stunning photo compositions, Mescovic.

I haven't seen your photo sites for a couple months, but I was happy to check for updates.

Is there a National Geographic equivalant in Russia?  If not, You should create it :)

This totally takes out all the BS politics and hypocrissy of life and instills only natural beauty of Earth and simple humans.

Peace-

[inthecatacombs]

Amen!!

[ShiekYerbooty]

Amazing

[xychr0]

Totally beautiful. The happiness obvious in the face of these people is so sharply contrasted against the faces of people photographed in cities and 'modern world.' Thank God I'm a redneck, kind of like these people but with pickup trucks, deer hunting, and in the USA.

[jodyrea]

Those beautiful old ladies remind me of my great auntie ........ I could not understand a word she said to me except "eat" In her 80's chasing me through a field because I fed the pigs something she did not approve of........... the memories brings laughter and tears....the farms are all gone.......only an old grain elevator marks the memory

[jodyrea]

Unbelievable - beautiful. My mother's family were farmers in the Ukraine and they came to Canada in the early 1900's. We would go back every summer to where my mother was born - this video brought back memories of those days

[21StCenturyWarfare]

[Su37rulez]

You bitch-motherfucker, gonna brake your neck if I see you!

[vegangurlforlife]

Heil hitler Heil hitler

[cortezawwris]

You vegetarians and vegan or whatever you call your selfs are the most violent, anger racist people. This kind of behaver is uncalled for and unwanted.

[jodyrea]

Dear cortezwwris

Not all of us that do not eat meat all bad - I like to act like I am angry - it sometimes is a form of protection - I may act a certain way but my heart is not so - your videos make me cry - so touching so beautiful - some of us just hide behind a facade because things have happened in our lives that make us so.

[jodyrea]

I want ot come to Russia now!!!

[ww2fan39]

And they are hailing Hitler? lol

[jodyrea]

If you do not smarten up I am going to cook you and return to eating meat - if you were my boy I would spank you and hug you - why are you so mean?

[Flaviuss18]

VEGANGURLFORLIFE...SHUT UP YOU FUCKING NAZIST...Your country has burned allready.And will burn when Russia's vengence will unleash over America.You Americans don't have any culture.

[ElinMalin]

Beautiful place!

[Su37rulez]

Класс!

А это где?

[cortezawwris]

Спасибо я сожалею о косяке, говорит Вам где.

[Su37rulez]

Где на земле русской находится "Old believer"?

Кстати как по русски звучит "old believer"?

Старый... что?

[cortezawwris]

старообря́дцы,ни стали отделенными от церкви и где сила в дикую местность

[mystykit]
