Official website film series "Happy People" | Director Dmitry Vasyukov | Yenisei | Pomory | Altai - Donate paypal.me/happpeople vasyukov.net/
“Happy People” is a documentary series about people from faraway corners of Russia, who live in harmony with their beautiful but harsh natural surroundings.
It is about strong, free-spirited people. Maybe the lives of these people will serve as an example for some one, or will help some one look at himself through other eyes and re-examine his own life.
To all who read this. The people of the Russian Taiga and all similar folks across this globe we call home, especially the folks who carve their life out of nature, I appreciate you. I am from America. We live the old ways as much as we can. Take only what we need. And give thanks for what we have. I do not care what our govts are doing when I see at the end of the day...I am you and you are me. We are the people of the land and I wish you all only joy in the living we have.
You said it!!
С приветом и с уважением из России!
Much respect for these trappers, when the man says” greed is the trapper worse enemy “! He avoided trapping pregnant females animals giving them a chance to breed and maintain a healthy , sustainable population of animals for future. I salut and gives my respect to people which such a heart and vision and consideration!!
that was the exact part I was just telling my wife about as I was describing this documentary to her....now shw wants to watch it with me .looks like I will have to watch again .oh darn!
Trapping is indiscriminate. While I believe most people who live off the land due so with respect. Avoiding pregnant creatures while trapping is impossible. Some virtual signaling if that is said by a trapper.
"I avoid trapping".... is impossible. He can say what ever he wants. Russians say lots of things. So do nigerian "princes". Their word is worthless.
I love this pepole ❤️all my love to Russia ❤️from Poland❤️
Спасибо наш польский друг
that didnt age well
That 82 year old man moves like someone way younger. What a beautiful culture.
Смотрела на русском два раза, теперь пересматриваю на английском! Большое спасибо за отличные фильмы!
I think this whole series "The happy people' is the best thing the whole You Tube system got to offer....much better than all that Hollywood BS that covers just about everything else they have.....much much better.....
This is real life, not fictions. Now a days fictions has taken over the world.
You are right true life in the wilderness cannot be scripted
I agree 👍 👌 ✌️ ❤️
Deckie Deckie you have farm series of the BBC, also very good !!!

So much negativity and despair in the world today. I have watched this series plenty of times, and I always come back to dream of being a “Happy Person” myself.
Приятно видеть, что этот фильм перевели на англ язык.
These people don't fuck around,,, every move they make is carefully calculated and executed ,,, no room for error Very nice documentary!
I come back to re-watch this wonderful documentary at least once a year. Wholesome and nourishing. It offers such simplicity and beauty that is mostly lost in the hustle and bustle of 'modern life'. . I absolutely love it. cасио!
God Bless Holy Mother Russia.🍁
I don't know how many times I have watched this documentary.... Amazingly beautiful, it teaches us so many things....Nature has everything for mans need but not the greed.
Я 27 лет был промысловика на Таймыр лучшие годы моей жизни мне 85 лет но если бы мне сказали хочешь в тай на конечно мечтаю мне часто снится промысел жена говорит я чтотокричу
Same here I am addicted. I re-watch all the seasons.
The movie is called Happy people, and it's true. Their life is complex and full of work. But they themselves, voluntarily chose such a life, complexity, struggle with themselves and love of nature. They are powerful in spirit, strong-willed, free and happy people. And I envy them white envy. They are one with nature both soul and body
This is probably the greatest documentary I've ever seen. Keep retreating to it.

I must have watched this at least half a dozen times. I get lost in this wonderful authentic world....thank you.
If you are a male creature watching this, and your heart isn't pumping faster.....Well, I feel sorry for you...
This is among the best documentaries I've ever seen. As an American it totally tripled my respect for Russian deep country people like these...
Welcome in Russia
Can you suggest some.more documentaries like this?
Ditto.!
You and me both. Russia has a lot to offer and I believe Putin over anything that piece of shit obama says
@@mountainman78629 Yeah I hear you my friend! Obama makes far too much sense when he talks and he like actually formulates ideas based on logic and reason and a sense of morality and friendship...yeah HARD PASS for guys like us right? lol, yeah give me a dictator who squashes all forms of human expression because it could potentially lead to criticism of government which would of course lead to murders, lol...yeah nothing better than barely scraping by in a gov apptointed factory job for 65 years and then dieing like a good citizen, yeah freedom is for the birds! Like literally for the birds cuz for Russian citizens they're trapped and there are HUGE massive protest all over Russia against Putin cuz um ....HE'S A DICTATOR AND THERE'S NO WAY HE WINS 'ELECTIONS' WITH NEARLY 90% OF THE VOTE! IT'S A JOKE. Oh and by the way you're a moron. Like a total moron! Obama got the country out of a financial crisis that 8 yrs of George Bush made and by the end of his 8 yrs had the economy soaring in the sky for Trump to take credit for for the last four years.

This documentary is prime example for how to make documentary... I loved it.. great people with great strength with great skill...
Watch the Japanese series fro the 80s, "the silk road". Similar feel and a classic.
Agree, great documentary, visually magnificent as well as informative - and some of the credit for this surely goes to Werner Herzog! :)
I can relate to and appreciate this beautifully made documentary as I have spent years living in the sub arctic and arctic of Canada. The Inuit have a saying, "the shot you miss is the one you shouldn't have made". Both Cree and Inuit taught me to never kill anything you do not intend to eat. Respect for nature strikes at the heart of these people's culture. I digress.
Lies...
@@andrewmcdonald5275 Tell it like it is. Why be defensive?
That’s part of all Native American cultures, it’s our way of life! It’s the Anglos and other European invaders who kill just to kill and destroy and highly pollute the environment!
It amazes me how country ppl seem to be the same no matter where in the world they come from always friendly hard working and genuine
Wow...thanks for this documentary..i absolutely enjoyed it...that WW2 veteran...bet he would have some stories to tell and i would listen intently and hang on to every word even if he told the same story over and over...but men like that rarely if ever talk about the war and i'd totally respect that...God Bless these people
Such a tough and hardworking people. Respect from Indian occupied Kashmir
The skill that these men have in the bush is nothing short of amazing. Much respect from America!
Happy people is for me by far the best documentary ever filmed. Best regards from Slovenija
the kind and natural people of russia, truly a blessing upon this earth. 🙏 god bless all those who uphold the real humanitarian values. 🇷🇺
Ваши сообщения великолепны. Он дает хорошую информацию о малоизвестных местах и людях. Спасибо. Я живу в Турции. Я люблю русских и других людей, которые там живут. Я чувствую себя в России в безопасности, как и в моей стране. Я побывал в некоторых крупных городах России. Отныне я хочу приехать в эти регионы и надолго остаться среди более девственной природы и деревенских жителей. Ваши посты будут мне очень полезны.
Вы Хороший Человек ! Спасибо!
Outstanding production, great translation, fascinating story. I've learned more homesteading skills from just watching this documentary than in my past 27 years of life.
yes but did this come first or Herzog's of the same name?
Look how they honor their vets.. all the villagers making such an effort to show them affection and respect. Community is something we all want yet in America we have pushed it further and further away. We wouldn't need psychiatrists and antidepressants if we had community.
Excellent documentary. Not only the video but the music is fabulous as well. I've seen it multiple times and enjoyed it each time. Truly a piece of art. Thanks for the upload.
Dmitry Vasyukov's music is just fantastic. Thank you for this amazing documentary! I lived in a cabin in Alaska without electricity, running water and other amenities for 2 years. Went to university during the day and skied in the evenings. It was stunning. I remember my life from those days when I watch these films.
You must be a strong person. I salute ypu
Hey soon he will upload some series about Alaska
amazing

@@tspike7956 thank you
I love it, the Americans love to brag how " tough " they are in Alaska, and then you watch these tough Siberians, and they re all good and happy. Says a lot about the culture.
Alexandre Galin shutup you probably live in a nice cozy apartment in a city somewhere. USA!
@Alexandere.. what.. the Alaskans you watch on discovery channel? You moron. Alaskan trappers wouldn't whine to you or boast to the Siberians.. you fucking leftist twit.
Impresionante la vida de estos hombres y mujeres!! Totalmente fundidos con la naturaleza que les rodea, entendiéndola y respetándola. Y con la Familia como apoyo. Hurra por la brava gente de Siberia!
great movie about the great nature of Russia.
Этот фильм лечит души

Thanks)
Sir, I'm really impressed with your documentary. I'm in the film industry for only 10 years and mainly do lighing as a Gaffer, but I really enjoy good documentary (whitch is not very often lit ;) ), much more than the feature films . Your film is really inspiring, for me as a human being concerned about eviroment, but also as a filmmaker, but mostly as a true statement of simple and meaning full living. THANK YOU Dimitrii! Great work!
this is what i call a happy, sane and healthy life !
52:06 - " When you live in accordance with a life pattern established by mother nature, you seem to develop a sense of superior need, a feeling of serenity and calm at being fundamentally on the right side of things. " That was beautiful. Very well written. I'm off to enjoy part 2. da blagoslovit vas i vashu sem'yu bog
superior meaning*
This has more content than the Netflix version. Glad I found it.
It’s such simple life and lovely people. Btw Russia went through a lot during World War2. Even it’s not recognized by west without Russians Nazi Germany could not have been stopped.
Read the gulag archipelago. I really feel for the Russian people. Then check the video where Boris yeltsin went to a grocery store in Houston Texas.
@@mountainman78629 "Archipelago" - it's the shamy lies.
Them people don’t know how good they have it.
ΕΥΓΕ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗ ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΟ ΤΟ ΝΤΟΚΙΜΑΝΤΕΡ ΤΟ ΕΙΔΑ 4 ΦΟΡΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΘΑ ΤΟ ΞΑΝΑΔΩ !!
I love this. I watch it once or twice every year! Timeless.
The same for me. From 2009. It's like a refreshing trip. Away from the city and everyday work in the office.
Beautiful. I wish I was young again. That is what I call living. We have lost most of that kind of living here in the lower 48 states. Alaska is the last real frontier in America, and corporate america wants to get their greedy little hands in there and destroy that too. It has been sad to see how America has been paved over and used up with no regard for Nature. Little do most here realize to destroy Nature, is to destroy themselves as well.
+Mary Morningstar Yes, with romantic music and all. Go live like that. haha.
Maynard Did you sleep bad or just stumbled out from a cave? What you don't understand must be ridiculous.. Right? Environmental issues is long known and some countries are dealing successfully with reality instead of ridiculing proven facts..
man did not cause the earth to warm u idiot
my thoughts exactly Mary...if I was young and knew then what I know now, I'd be LIVING out in that wilderness...instead I have a huge, 4,500 sq ft home, filled with stuff...we have RV's, zero debt. housekeeper and grounds keeper to keep all this too much stuff organized, cleaned, etc...but I'm NOT happy. I suffer pain, poor health probably all the stress endured trying to keep a perfect home, raise 4 kids...sigh.... We live far out in the country, have a phenomenal view, but if it were a small log shack, with basics and loved ones to share the experiences living out in the wilderness....everything!...except one thing...MOSQUITOES and those tiny gnat like buggers called "no see'ums" that bite! But I think Heaven is going to be more like the wilderness...i doubt Heaven will include a Costco or Walmart....and for sure, houses, but nothing like the ones we had on planet earth....I can't wait...just a little bit longer and we'll be going home!
that's where I should move. I live in the lower 48. gotta go somewhere to get away from all this urban nonsense
Simply LOVE this documentary! I always recommend it to my English-speaking friends!

@@Alexssinelnikow Можно вечно смотреть, как течёт вода, горит огонь и работает Адвокат Егоров. Правда где-то в середине вечности возникает чувство собственной неполноценности. :)))

EXCELLENT..IT MAKES FOR A BETTER FRIENDSHIP TO OUR RUSSIAN FRIENDS........LIFE IS TOO SHORT SO LETS APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES.......GREAT DOC. THANK YOU.
Way better than Hollywood junk.
Thank you for this documentary film.I love it so much.God bless you
My soft, indulged and privileged life has been no life compared to these people.
Могучий и русский язык! Не понять им этой души, сколько в филме заложено! Сам просмотрел все фильмы по несколько раз и продолжаю пересматривать, успокаивает!
Nikolai. Please explain the type of hand ax they use
Согласен на все 100........
Эти фильмы помогают жить и верить в людей Галина из Англии
You can tell these folks are grounded and how small their egos are by the way each of them looks into the camera (or the lack thereof), by how comfortable they are with themselves, with life, within their version of reality. Truly they are Happy People.
Dose anybody keep watching it everyday like me ?
First time boss
Yes it calms me.. Especially with what's going on in the world right now
I can't stop
this 4 part series is so much better than Herzog's cut. However, I do hope the creator was able to earn a handsome fee for allowing Herzog to use the footage. I am in awe of the lifestyle, and skills the people of this village have been able to retain. I hope and pray that these types of communities will continue to exist, no matter how technologies change the world of city life.
Gennady the first man with the beard looks like a beast he must be a very strength and resistant person , respect for his skills
Amazing video. Inspirational! The people of Taiga are crafty, humanitarian and living close to the natural world. Love this video!
so not only in Siberia , for example, in the Nizhny Novgorod region is 450 kilometers from Moscow, people live as well , but it does not prevent people living in cities do we progress Russia and progress and wildlife live together so this mysterious Russian )))
It's now May of 2020 and Joe "the bald podcast king" Rogan brought me here
I watch the whole documentary at least once a year
Have watched this 100 times now...Loved it
Great documentary. Wactched all four parts. I admire such people, their courage, determination and skills. Bless them. The perfect set of documentaries for a winter evening. Thanks for sharing Dimitri.
These people are amazing. Their strength is far more than we see in the western world. I think I can speak for all who watch this fantastic series when I ask, please make more of these videos:)
Really enjoyed the canoe making. And the old WW2 vet who broke down while talking made my throat tighten and I don’t even know for what exactly was he crying.
Он заплакал от воспоминаний которые на него нахлынули тот момент когда он вспомнил слова Сталина из радио о победе над Германией. О тех минутах счастья всех Советских граждан 9 мая 1945 года. He wept at the memory of the moment when he remembered Stalin's words from the radio about the victory over Germany. About those moments of happiness for all Soviet citizens on may 9, 1945.
My grandfather participated in the great Patriotic war . Every year on may 9, this great victory day was celebrated. And he had a tradition he took a tape recorder with songs of that war, photos of his comrades and relatives who died in this war went to the woods in the backyard listened to songs drank and cried talking with photos. And so every year the relatives waited for him to return and all sit down to celebrate this great holiday. He died in 2000. But the photo and all his things are still stored in his room and I and my children have no idea what would change something in his room.
I loved this entire film and have watched it several times. I wish the world were more like this
Hi everybody, I live in the city and after watching this I want to live with these people. They are definitely the best of us. Very few if any negative thoughts. What do you want to do today? Let's go hunt for something to eat. Then tune the snowmobiles up,then take care of the dogs,then reload some ammo so we're ready for tomorrow. Sounds like paradise. I love the freezing cold too.Good thoughts to everyone out there.Pete and Dee from Sacramento California USA.
you will scream with powerlessness when you get into the real taiga. complete silence, no sounds of cars, etc., it works depressingly, you want to go home immediately, to a warm bed
I know what I'm saying because I lived in Moscow for 3 years and returned to the taiga again. the forest did not accept me, I felt horror, being alone with nature.
but since winter again in the forest, everything is fine.
Ok, you changed my mind, I'll just visit someday. Good thoughts to all of you in the Tiaga.
I agree... great movie... greetings from Ohio....
Excellent show cried too with the elderly veteran for my father and grandfather knew his pain as I knew theirs too.

A great documentary.
I watched the series like thousands of time already....beautiful beautiful life
My more then 100 views, kinda motivation to see life with a different perspective...Live and love life
It always my dream to stay with people like them. Real life.
Love how much they respect the old war heroes man, they’re all just about gone now. Russia lost 27 million people, now you never have to wonder why they take it so seriously. 27 million people.. I can imagine 80,000 because I go to Clemson tiger stadium, but I cannot picture 27 million people.. Jesus.
What a beautiful and heart touching documentary, loved it so much💕💕
These guys are so neat to be able to design there own tools then they seem to work better then store bought items so interesting
You have shown that people seeking happiness have a place where beauty and serenity await. Excellent documentary!

This is soooo unusual....amazing.....in these times we live to see this sort life.....so fully independent....beautiful.....but in a realistic way.....their struggle...
Watching this tonight projected onto my wall while living in China. Grateful.
Having looked at the conditions in which these people live, you begin to understand that they are hunters, and all who invaded Russia from other countries were objects of hunting, despite modern weapons.
Watched this 10ntimes love to visit im sure im not alone
Thank you for posting this.
Brilliant, protect this slice of heaven!
Good job from hockey land, we like these shows and your hockey players.
