In this video, we take you to a remote Bashkir village nestled among snow-covered hills and forests.
Bashkirs were once a nomadic and semi-nomadic people, moving with their herds across vast steppes. Today, most have settled in villages, but their deep connection to land, livestock, and tradition remains strong. Even now, many families still keep cows and horses, continuing the pastoral rhythm of life passed down for generations.
In winter, they stay in their wooden village homes, where powerful snowstorms often blanket the land in deep white. The landscape transforms into a silent, still world shaped by cold and wind.
We explore how local families adapt to this season: heating their homes with wood-burning stoves, cooking traditional meals, and gathering by the fire not only for warmth but for comfort and kinship.
Some still follow the old ways — in summer, they head into the open steppe to graze their livestock, living closer to the rhythm of nature.
Join us as we discover the quiet strength, resilience, and beauty of life in a Bashkir village — where the spirit of nomadic ancestors still lives on in everyday life.
If you enjoy immersing yourself in the lives of people from remote corners of the world — learning about unique cultures, traditions, and ways of life far from the modern rush — stay with us. More stories from indigenous communities and timeless landscapes are coming soon.
