@Nikolai061792 my Grandfather was imprisoned there in Concentration camps in Arhangelsk's as a war captive. He surrendered to Russian authorities as a Wermacht soldier on the front, because he did not want to shoot russians :)
he said that the winter was deadly - many people died because of hunger (they were giving them only 1 bread per 20 people i think in few days and one bucket of water. ) others because of cold and Typhus . He survived as one of 100 (other thousands of prisoners died)
I like this kind of video. It fulfills the expectations of a non-native of a particular place to see the place and realize it in the natural way. My one student- Zunaid is presently doing MBBS at Arkhangelsk-, he calls me from there every day and tells about the life there. Now by this video(and some other) on youtube I can just feel and realize where he is and what are his words speaking for. Thanks for posting such natural videos. - Prem from India

Arkhangel'sk is 100 miles South of the Arctic Circle. It says 'by' the Circle which means it is 'close'.

@barbiegirlmylene Я согласен с тобой. Архангельск не Северный полярный круг. Я здесь живу и рад этому. В этой речке мы купаемся в июле.
