  • terroists?

  • Beautiful pictures. Can you go fishing in the nearby waters?

  • "to zanarkand" i wasn't expecting it, nice music, beautiful pictures, i wish to be able to visit russia some day

  • Beautiful. I would go there :)

  • Who does the music? :)

  • @TheGhostOfSabotage in flames - medley acoustic

  • @wmenshikov OK thanks! :)

  • omfg

  • Very interesting! Looks like the Canadian north. I always wanted to visit Russia. Maybe one day. You realize you have a worthy and important job i hope.

    Good luck from Canada!

  • Россия, не умри никогда!

  • O povo russo é extraordinário, mas os seus dirigentes, hoje, são mafiosos e bêbados , à imagem de yeltsin.

  • молодец!! красивые музыка и фото

  • Beautiful pictures, beautiful music. I would love to live that kind of life. Immersed in nature and patrolling borders to the country you love. Greetings from the United States of America.

  • @DEUHDCEwh Thank you for your warm comment friend.

  • Greetings, Cortezawwris.

    I just finished watching "Russians Deprived of Russia." (It was great, by the way.) It mentioned how Cossacks were in charge of border security for years...and how, even in their dispersion, they often served in the same capacity for other nations.

    It helped me understand more about "the Cossacks."

    In fact, many things in Russia we're very ignorant of here--even people who Try to learn (and that isn't too many--haha) don't know much about vast Russia.

  • amazing pictures, just amazing... And music is beautiful... which camera did you use?

  • Смотрю и не могу налюбоваться...

  • На 3:50 такоє русское лицо.А ві про словянскый союз говорите.Да у вас половина чурок-азиатов какие вы словяне

  • @cortezawwris nice video. Im very curious though Im American, and we have mexicans jumping the border everyday and when their caught they are fed givin water and are sent back to the mexican border. They get some rest and try the next day, and this happens over and over again until they finally get in. what would happen if people were constantly trying to illegaly immigrate to Russia?

  • @rbennet19 They are arrested and sent to prison and then transfer to prison in their homelands. Chinese poacher are killed if they caught killing a tiger or other rare animals.

  • The photos - extraordonary!

    The imperial propaganda - unnecessary.

  • why in the world would you ride a horse? i know they may be cheap, and not require gas, but that has to be unconfortable and besides its a little behind times, how are you going to chase down some people if they show up with a truck, car or any other type of vechicle?

  • @joereece86 Ignorance. Who's going to show up in a truck or car in the mountains? It's called they're on ledges, ridges, vallies and mountains, theres too much terrain to bring a vehicle with you. "behind times", c'mon dude.

  • @DEUHDCEwh what about a quad?

  • @DEUHDCEwh You are correct the landscape changes from desert sand dunes to alpine mountains . Not only that the zones along border are under the zapovednik system. Which our nature reserves the size of the U.S national parks but off limit to all humans. Only border guards and scientist under permit allowed. Border guards must make sure no poacher breaches these zones and if they do they are dealt with. They are reserves never meant to feel human foot prints.

  • @cortezawwris out of curiosity, why is it off limits to humans? i know the common sense like they don't want towns or homes built there, but why not tourists who hike or something like that? is it to preserve the land? because in US national parks we can walk, but no hunting or anything like that.

  • @DEUHDCEwh They are to protect 90 percent of Russian biodiversity and so scientist from around the world can come visit to study landscapes that humans have never altered. Such as to study dirt, erosion plants and so on. We have national parks and other areas open to everyone that usually border these reserves. If you look up Zapovednik on the national geographic website you find an article called Fragile Russian wilderness on them.

  • greetings from mexico!!

  • Любо!

    Красотища!

  • Beautiful...

  • Did you make the music (can you play guitar?) If so, can I get tabs

  • @lol1145 It called a Russian guitar and yes I am playing it. I am sorry tabs is written on a sheet.

  • @cortezawwris nice playing, is it a 7-string (russian guitar). Can we get that sheet please ? It's very nice music

  • очень красивые пейзажи. Я живу в Чувашии. Здесь тоже очень красиво, но по другому. У нас леса овраги и холмы. И реки. Я люблю Россию и все её народы ненавижу тех, кто её продаёт. А народ у нас добрый и гостеприимный.

  • @iloverebeccachambers мой отец и дядя родились и жили там.

  • @waitingformypopcorn  Ну здорово, земляк. )

    Love to visit Russia one day !!

    Greetings from Australia

  • C'est tellement beau.

    Slava tiebie Gospodi.

  • Wonderful picture!

    Thank you!

  • I would give everything for living this style of life. Great video great music. Wonderful, thank you

  • your video is really beautiful!

  • Just amazing. So beautifull.

  • that is soooo beautiful

  • When I visited Ekaterinburg, I met a girl who told me she was "bashkir", from Bashkortistan. she told me their national meal was Horse meat, and Horse milk!! She said that she had to leave because she could not prove she was Bashkir from seven generations. Her name was Lida.

    She spoke English with a British accent, and she was very nice person!

  • In 1:59 is a jurt? (Hungarian name jurta the, hungarian houses abot 1000 years ago)

    These pictures is like Hungary in Carpath =)

    I love your video, gretings from Hungary!

    And Russia is feautiful of course! =)

  • Yes yurt but i believe that originate in Central Asia. There also become quiet popular in the west as swell for vacation homes. Thank you for your comement.

  • @cortezawwris

    Hungarians originated from our land (of course, it was theirs at the time). They are Finno-Ugric people. Komi and Komi-permyak people (live in Urals) are the same blood. My grandma was Komy-permyak :)

  • @cortezawwris

    BTW, in their language 'Va' means "water, river". "Neva", "Lys'va", "Moskva" - all have Finno-Ugric origin. "Mos" means "cow", therefore, "Mos-k-va" means "Cow's water" or "swamp". Mscow still burning from dried swamp...

    Kievan Rus people were settling in the North among Finno-ugric people(Muroma, mordva, udmurt, mari, komi, etc.) Their blend gave birth to the new power - Moscovites.

  • Beautiful photos and music!  What area of Russia border? Mongolian/Russian border?

    Spaceeba!

  • No this is the Kazaistan/ Russian border

  • Russia is proubably the only one territory that have many ethnic nations in the world. Its about 15 etnic nations i think.

  • More than 180))

  • Outstanding, I enjoy your aesthetic sensibilities; nature has beauty that's all her own. I hope your experiences out there can be a consolation for the separation from your family.

  • Can we buy this type of music??

  • Super video and pictures

    Greetings

  • you have the best videos

  • so beautiful... such a nice experance.have no more words but "thank you" ^^ .

  • Thank you for your comment but why do you have a horrible misleading false video of Georgia on your favorite. I was a peacekeeper there when they hit in middle of the night. I never seen anything so evil has army to target children and Innocent lives homes. I seen them run over a women and child fleeing.

  • cortezawwris ,are you a russian soldier? i respect you love motherland. i'm not against russia but the war. yes, Georgian leader made a big mistake which started the war ,russians have to fight back. i really holp neither georgian nor russian army touch the common people. but sadly ,they all tortured the common people ... i don't know who is right who is not.but commoners shouldn't be hurt by any armed soldiers.

  • That is true is never right to hurt common people and Were trained not too. My name is Agnessa and was a peacekeeper. I gave bread and supplies to Georgian civilians during the attacks. They have launched a false information war to pose them as a victim. They posed fake pictures and even used Russian peacekeeping clothes to pose a Russian soldiers. This was there third attempt to genocide the Ossetan people. There video I posted about this on here.

  • Какая каша в голове. С одной стороны значит защищать имерию. А с другой, мол тех не трожь, этих низя, солдаты, мирные жители и т.д. Империя требует крови, любезный. И в первую очередь твоей собственной.

    Салам алейкум.

  • Вы это про кого?

  • nice video. thanks for posting.

    great sceneries

    you have a noble job.

    cheers!

  • Great piano music with beautiful pictures of Russia...wonderful!!

  • Great video, thank you for making and posting it!

  • right that area at east Russia?

  • i want to visit russia so bad. the countryside looks so beautiful :-)

  • great vid, where did you take those pictures& bet it's in Altai

  • after watching it, u feel happy... Who's playin that guit.? Is there an album with that kind of music?

  • Really cool!

  • Wow, beautiful country. Some of it reminds me of the mountains here in Canada while other parts are very different. You have a very unique job, good for you for carrying on the tradition! It would be very interesting (but also potentially dangerous). Take care.

  • Wow... i never knew that Russia was so beautiful... Congratulation for Sochi as 2014 Winter games ! Sochi is so beatiful with is sub-tropical wheater and the Caucasus mountains, very nice places... Go Russia, open your door to nature tourism...

  • Thank you for for your congratulations on the winter Olympics. There actually is a bunch of eco-tourism. If you wish I could send you links to websites with tours of area like this?

  • Even though I am not Russian (I'm American), I have a lot of respect for you, simply because you risk your life to protect something you love, your country. If only there were more people like that in the world.

  • Thank you for your wonderful comment of honor to my Mescovic( person who produced this) It is are blood duty to fight to the death. For the defense of are homeland, ever single Russian citizen and are brothers and sisters( Allies) May god bless your family and you friend.

  • I´am proud to be Russian

  • God bless you! You really DO HAVE WHAT to protect from the evil in the world.

    I wish someone could do something alike to what you do with Russian literatute, arts and all that cultural wealth that Russia has been giving to the world.

  • So beautiful it bring tears, not only the scenery and the music but the subtitles. What a tremendous gift your life, generousity and talents are to us all. You are healing the soul of the world in these troubling times!

  • This is exactly what we need to do here in America. Beautiful scenery...

  • Thank but i am sorry' need to do what?

  • Patrol our borders and protect our country just like you guys do. I would very like to go to Russia to visit some time, cheers my friend!

  • Protect our own borders, he means, I am sure. Instead the insane internationalists have us patrolling the border of Iraq and Iran, not protecting our people and country. But then, that's not what the wars are about. They are to ignite WW3 and force the peoples of the planet to submit to the New World Order dreamed of by maniacs. Agnessa and Mesovic, we love you and our hearts are with you both in these times.

  • Yes you are correct he was referring to protect borders from drugs, smugglers , radical terroist ,protestants and animal poachers. While making sure the border are not close for nomads and protecting rare animals who need to travel back and fourth. But cossack border guards are also Russia first and last line of defense and first to fight to the death. Since are forefather gave there blood oath to Emperors to protect and serve ever Russia citizen or brothers and sisters in other nations in need.

  • we like very much russia

    i think that all syrians like the russian people

    my peace for great Russia

  • peace for you as well my Syrian brother and may god bless you and your ancient noble civilization.

  • Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! here's to the land of my ancestors. When I made it out to the American west, I fell in love with the wide open spaces. These slides explain, to me anyways, why I do love these wide open ranges. It's in my blood. My ancestors must've loved the great vast territories.

  • Thank you for sharing the beauty of your country, and life. And thank you for your service. You not only defend Russia but protect our shared human civilization. What a generous gift these videos are.

  • Russia is beautiful! I want to move there!

  • I live in London but I think Russia is the most beautiful country. I found the Russian culture is fascinating. It's very beutiful video.

  • Beautiful footage of a beautiful landscape!! Did Mescovic compose and play the music? It's very very good.

  • Have never seen more beautiful scenery - is the patroling on horses part for real? Is travel possible and safe? Are there organised tours? cheers

  • Yes you patrol on horse the landscape is rugged and road less and populated by nomads and other such folk. Border guards need patrol on horse to assure illegal immigrants, bandits, drug caravans, illegal hunting of endangers animals are stopped and locals/nomads are allowed tofreely travel between borders. I am sure you can find a tourist agency that does wilderness horseback trips of you do the research but border guard service does not.

  • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY KYRGYZSTAN)))))

    these photo`s from Kyrgyzstan))

  • I am sorry but this not Kyrgyzstan these taking Russia in altai mountains.

  • so these are all around the xinjiang border there? Nice pics!

  • That will be great. I think that a big, expensive 'coffee table' book that emphasizes the uniqueness of a border agent's view would sell well. He sees places that no one else sees, and he is really talented. Send me a note when you get the website up. Don't be discouraged if the website doesn't sell much. I am an artist, and my paintings sell very well from galleries, but my website just sits there, doing nothing. I know that your photos would sell as a book or in galleries.

  • you talent

  • I'm serious, Cortezawwris. These are stunning photos. Have you tried selling your work in galleries?

  • You have a wonderful talent Cortezawwris. The places that you are photographing are beautiful, but you make them even better with your understanding of light and composition. You should publish a book!

  • Your life is better than mine in Canada. I would like to visit you some day with my daughter. Bok

  • I am sure mescovic Would more than happy to accommodate guests when he returns. He aways invites Guests and tourist he sees visiting Kazan stay at his house

  • thamks for sharing your beautiful country,music

    and photographs-

    Exelent composition-

    some landscapes remembers me Nikita Mikhalkov film "Urga"; he is one of my favorites actor and director-

  • The mountains reflected in the water are so spectacular, I like all your photographs but the one at 2.42 especially.

  • Wow...it is so beautiful where you are. I am descended from Russians, and it is a goal of mine to see the beautiful place where my ancestors lived.

  • Whish i could do that for a while, look adventures....the only downside must be the the few women.

  • same number there would be men?

  • omg that is so beautifull

    thanx:)

  • This has given me some ideas for my next vid, which of course, I shall dedicate to you, since you inspired me! I know that it shall incorporate the Cossack art of Rubo and Gavrilyachenko (especially his great paintings on "Cossack Duty"). In addition, I shall add some mountain landscapes, so, thank you for the creative spark!

    raba bozhiya Vostorgina

  • is that the west siberian plain or does it not extend that far? great video.

  • well the area is the Altai mountains and desert/steppe area in it along its located in Siberian side but yes the plains end before it.

  • In one word: Stunning

  • You have done a wonderful job of photography if all of those pictures are yours. The geography looks very much like the mountains where I live in Canada. It's a great reminder of the similarities between places and people.

  • Thank you for your comment and yes there mine. Please do say we are similar to you westerners that is very great insult agianst my culture honor and blood

  • I love Russia! It is very beautiful place and not as cold as everyone thinks. Everyone should travel to Russia if you get a chance!

  • I had no idea Russia was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

  • that was very cool and beanutiful i have a dif view of russia now

  • You are so blessed.

    I know you are proud of your family and your occupation. You should be. I have always wanted to have a job like yours that is why I am studying "Range and Wildlife Management," so I will know how to protect and care for our wild lands.

    I am proud of you, happy for you, and thankful to you for sharing with us a little bit of you and your beautiful country.

  • Many thanks friend for your warm honoring comment. My job is little different than you think for I am military unit also. I am a cossack border guard Military unit. All branches of russia military have a unit reserved for cossack blood lines. I am also veteran of the Chechnya and Georgian war.

  • Not what I would have pictured... it is breathtaking.

  • Thank you my other video are much more better. Ya most westerners think its just snowy one big but in truth very diverse. With jungle, desert, open steppe, deep forest, vast mountains and sub tropical along the seas.

  • very nice. seems like my kind of country. Its got every thing. XD.

    Breath taking beautiful

  • Hey, you should check out VEOH. I've been out there the past couple of days and find it a superior video server.

    The same videos I upload to YouTube look nicer on VEOH and you can build yourself a nice looking 'channel' - which is separate from your profile page. I just thought you might be interested.

  • Человеком, создавшим это видео, двигала любовь...любовь к родной земле?

    Дух захватывает от красоты, настолько прекрасно, что не верится.

    Я живу в Санкт-Петербурге,это тоже Россия, и я очень люблю наш Карельский перешеек. Но показанное вами- просто чудо. Как это можно увидеть?

  • Спасибо за ваш замечательный комментарий. Я люблю мою землю больше чем что нибудь.Вы больше чем прием в мой дом, чтобы остаться, чтобы видеть, где я живу.

  • Спасибо вам большое теперь еще и за гостеприимство! Как это очень часто бывает, наша семья ездила несколько раз заграницу, но мы практически нигде не были в России, кроме родного города и столицы. Эту ошибку надо исправлять.

  • Мы присматриваем различные туристические программы и, к своему стыду, только сейчас узнали, что существует много предложений относительно Алтайского края, в частности.

    Благодаря показанной вами красоте мы определились, что туда хотим обязательно!

  • its very beautiful

  • what a beautiful place!

  • Thank you madam for your comment!

  • It's Asia!

  • I am glad you understand that well done. I have another hint for you 80 percent of Russia is in Asia.

  • I patrol on horse doing segments at a time than linking up with the other units. Well official Kazakh's have to use like E40 road. But nomad people and other along border are allowed cross back and fourth. But that not written on paper but well known.

  • you know your geography you are correct. That is the Altai mountains and i also be sent to military line in Georgian breakaway republic

  • I wish I had your job! God bless you, it seems from your videos you confirm that Christianity has not disappeared entirely from Russia. No doubt existing in such a beautiful place as your photographs can only confirm belief in beauty of Creation. Thank you for sharing gorgeous scenery of your country.

  • You are a fortunate man .......... when you bloodline is split so is your soul

  • I am going kill that horse you ride you fucking freak freak freak freak!!!!!!!!!!. BURN AND DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. EATING ANIMALS IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! MEAT IS MURDER MEAT IS MURDER MEAT IS MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You silly - I do not eat meat either its a personal choice - if you believe the whole world populace could susbsist on herbs alone you are a fool BTW you should eat meat it might make you less nasty - you seem to be lacking something in your diet -

  • Eating meat is not a personal choice its unnatural and should never be done. you are weak to side with the meat eaters who should be cleansed and sent to the death camps.

  • Please stop with your foolish racism there no place for it here. I pray for you and your soul may not be filled with so much anger confusion.

  • Your country is sooo beautiful. You are a lucky man to have all of that right on your doorstep!

  • i'm outa words... i cant believe places like this still exists!! and ur choice of music is awsome.. mind if i ask where i can download some of them.?

  • You cant download them sorry there my ownwork I have them on disks.

  • thats cool thanks though..

  • oh sorry my bad, the song is To Zanarkand , just type it into youtube and you'll get the melody. but if you want to download it i think you can get it through esnips.

  • Hey thanks bro!!! wow its a full orchestra ai!

  • Also funny that mention becuase not many people like that. I have so many hate mail from people called vegan saying I m a barberian, horrible worst murder or I should shop a something called walmart.

  • bwahahahah!! walmart!! thats a big store where you can buy anything from cloths to food.

  • oh i was wondering what that i thought was just for food since should not kill an animal but buy fruit walmart

  • Walmart is the giant store that has taken over the US and destroyed many lives. Walmart has the lowest prices, because it buys products that were made with slave labor, and pays its workers minimum wages and does not give them benefits (money for doctor, and so on). There are Walmart all over the US and they are the size of a football stadium, selling just about everything from chips to guns to car tires.

  • you mean only the first song right? Because I am very familiar with the second song. Final Fantasy X. Does it ring a bell?

  • yup, I think I was listening to it last night on my cd player. XD

  • Well second one I played from sheet music I found on the internet.. If you watch my video "Old believer village". I rewritten the sheet music more to my liking to match the photos.

  • actually ramidudu you can get the second song... i don't think he made that one up. it's from final fantasy x, a game from Square enix. the song is called To Zenarkand

  • The second song I played from a sheet I liked the sound of. I don't know the name of it I forgot. The first is cossack folk song that been passed down in my family.

  • English: meself :D

    great photos and music, thank you

  • Is it not right? I use a translator my keyboard cant type in English?

  • It would be 'myself' but I think 'meself' is sweet. It is the old way of saying it.

  • How pathetic terroist you spam my video and give it a bad rating this has nothing even do with Russian army.Border guard is under federal intelligence service.
