Dutch blogger's video about Yakutia goes viral online
The Dutch blogger«s video has taken the internet by storm.
A video by popular Dutch blogger Frankvd, who visited Yakutia and filmed content for YouTube, has garnered 1.5 million views in a week. This is despite the blogger having only 27,000 subscribers.
Football can be played in any weather, especially if you live in Yakutsk.
Frank arrived in Yakutsk in early January, visiting not only the republic«s capital but also nearby districts like Suntar. He tried Yakut dishes and took a dip in an ice hole at −47°C (−53°F). The video featuring Frank was posted by local tour operator Roxana on her Instagram channel (an extremist organization, banned in Russia).
The wolf startled the blogger, but not too much.
In his video, Frank describes trying raw foal liver with salt, boiled moose nose, a traditional dairy drink, stroganina (thinly sliced frozen fish), and other dishes. What he enjoyed was byyrpakh, which he compared to cola, and freshly caught and pan-fried Yakut fish cooked over a campfire.
On Frank«s YouTube page, the Yakut travel video has gained over 1.5 million views and thousands of comments. He shows himself crawling under houses with exposed pipelines, dipping into an ice hole nearly freezing his limbs, then playing street football with children and suddenly encountering a live wolf in a yard. During his trip, the Dutch blogger managed to do a lot, even digging a grave.
By the way, he is not the only one who has visited Yakutia recently. The republic has been visited by British, Indian, Brazilian, Russian tourists, and even Pasha Volya — the editors of 14.RU have compiled all the visitors« impressions.
