Every Cultural Region Of Russia Explained

Video Overview & Insights

Russia is a large country with a diverse landscape of cultures, economics, politics, and geographies, much like the United States, but while we know that America has the South, the Midwest, and New England, what would a map of Russia's regions look like? What are the regions of Russia? And what makes each of these Russian regions so unique? This is every region of Russia explained.

Super interesting! I’d love more videos like this, maybe about some other countries? Learning about America is great but I also love to learn about others

It's about to become a monolith. It's just starting to push young love. Young love paired with monogamy is the tip of the spear. It is the deadliest weapon that exists.

0:19 Stop putting Maryland in that category. It's technically a border state, that's the only category that's accurate aside from southern.
We say y'all, and soda and we call our grandparents mom-mom and pop-pop.
The Maryland flag even hides the confederacy flag.
Y'all are so annoying....John Wilkes Booth was from Maryland. Lincoln had to occupy Maryland.
.... come drive through and look at all the confederacy flags people hang at their houses.
Just avoid certain places in Baltimore.

Russia tends to divide the east into 3 sections. Urals which are 3 and 4 on your map, Siberia which is 5 and up to the number 6. East of that is the Far East. I believe the Far East to be one of if not the most valuable piece of land when combined with Alaska. West of the Urals is much more divided.

6:09 i have an anegdote to tell you.
My godfather works in Russia at gas pipeline construction, one day in the middle of no where while digging the foundation for pumping station, they discovered a thick vein of gold and contacted administration. 1 hours later, government came with there own construction equipment and sealed the vein and the explanation was that they already know about majority of gold, oil and other valuables underneath but the directive is strictly forbidden to touch it, they say that if they woud to extract all the gold from there the value would crash, same thing with titanium as i recall

You've made a mistake throughout the video. Americans probably can't understand this, but in Russia there is no such difference between political parties. All of them support the general one, but the difference is only in rhetoric. In Russia, this is publicly available knowledge, so if you ask what political views a person holds, he won't say a word about the partys

What a nonsence of a theory and really bad angle of the map, he should support his ideas with data - for example, in the north of, what he calls, the North Ural´s rust bell region its dismal population has the highest GDP per capita and highest sallaries in all Russia. He should rather try to study and present the Four Russias geo-economic theory of prof. Zubarevich, than this only geografically somewhat correct macroregions application to the country´s territory.

@ivanb4816

This has to be one of the most inaccurate maps, both in zoning and naming. Moscovia? East Moscovia? Lay down the drugs, friend.

I advice you to visit at least the half of Russian regions (40-45) before make this strange video . Russia can be divide through these:
1. Black lands (central Russia to the south from Moscow),
2. Non black lands (official name) central Russia to the north from Moscow
3. Russian South (Rostov, Krasnodar, Stavropol, Adygea, Crimea and other new regions)
4. North Caucasus (all Muslim mountains republics)
5. Volga region (from Nizhniy Novgorod to Volgograd).
6. Russian North (Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Komi and Karelia republics).
7. Separately Moscow and nearest Moscow oblast
8. Separately saint Petersburg
9. Kaliningrad oblast

Very hard identify Astrakhan and Kalmykia republic (no South, nor Volga region because completely different people and nature).
Vologda - it's partially of Russian North and partially of non black lands.

I wrote only about European part of Russia.

"east moscovia" wtf, it was colonized by people of ukrainian ethnicity

north is not a moscovia, "greater volga" is far more different ethnic groups than just muscovites

@tarro78

Moscovia :D Dude is not in context at all
To all the foreigners they are North-West, South, Kavkaz, Povolzhje, Stavropol, Tatarstan
Not MOSCOVIAS. Nobody saying like that here.

@jellemaarten2145

As the Russian, you are mostly correct but you kinda paint it with a very broad brush. "Moscovia" is not single region. Moscow and Saint Petersburg are hella different. And you failed to mention Chechnya, Tatarstan, etc. also, the term "Moscovia" is cringe as hell. It is usually used by people who say "Ukraine is the real Rus and Russia stole the name and shit"

It is kinda similar to how some people say "Unitedstatian" instead of American, because Mexicans are also Americans. They live on the American continent. annoying as hell 😅

I would say that the proper division of Russia can be understood through the Russian Federal Districts:
North-West: ancient Russian territories with the centre in Saint-Petersburg. It includes such regions as Novgorod (historically Velikiy Novgorod (Novgorod the Great) was the first Russian capital, even before Kiev/Kyiv), Arkhangelsk, Pskov, Vologda, Murmansk + Kaliningrad and the Republics of Karelia and Komi + Nenets Autonomous District.
Central Russia/Moscovia: the most Russian region out of others, urbanistic, economically developed and rich. It doesn't include any non-Russian divisions like Republics or Autonomous Districts.
South Russia: the region with the most favourable climate and fertile lands, located between the Caucasus, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Volga region. The fun fact is Volgograd is a part of South Russia but not the Volga District as well as Astrakhan' located in the Volga Delta on the Caspian coast and the Republic of Kalmykia (the only European Buddhists).
North Caucasus is separated from South Russia due to its national composition. There are about 50 different ethnic groups here (Turcic, Iranian, etc) living in 6 ethnic Republics. The author mentioned Daghestan only but there are Chechen, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachai-Cherkess and North Osetia-Alania here too. At the same time, the capital of the region is located in the Stavropol Territory populated mostly with ethnic Russians.
Volga District: includes most of the Russian regions with the capitals located on the Volga River. It combines the typical Russian territories and non-Russian divisions like Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Mari El, Perm, Udmurt and Chuvash populated with Turcic and Uralic people.
Ural District: the most industrially developed region of Russia. The South Ural with its capital in Yekaterinburg is focused on industrial production. North Ural - on the oil and gas production (mainly in the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Districts).
Siberia (West Siberia) has several big industrial centres in the south such as Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo and Krasnoyarsk. The ethnic Republics of Tyva, Khakassia and Altai are here too. The northern part of Siberia is mostly tundra, forests and swamps rarely populated. The famous Lake Baikal is located in the south between the Irkuts Region and Buryatia (Mongolic Buddhists or the Far East).
The Far East of Russia includes Yakutia (Eastern Siberia) and the actual Far East near the Pacific Ocean. Chukotka is a part of it too. These are the massive lands with extreme climates, rare populations and a lot of natural resources (diamonds in Yakutia, uranium in Chukotka, etc). The biggest cities are Khabarovsk and Vladivostok. Also, the region includes the peninsula of Kamchatka, the island of Sakhalin and Kurily islands. People living here are focused on fishing. The Russian Pacific fleet is based here too.

Southern regions being agricultural could be a reason why these regions face less consequences of low birth rates, because of higher access to healthy foods

@stire8418

Moscovian == related to Moscow... (or a geological time period, take your pick :p ) so could be valid in relation to describing an area as being heavily influenced by Moscow culturally... Moscovia -> indicates a region, which as many Russians have pointed out, doesn't exist. While simply a terminology issue, it points out that terminology does indeed matter. While people who are from the area can be very sensitive to any misunderstandings, the reality is, we are all human in things like this. On another (somewhat contentious) note, whenever we classify or categorize things, we often do it in a 2 dimensional manner which by definition selects specific traits to classify by. If we look at when people are disagreeing with a given classification, in reality it is often that they are using another set of criteria to classify by. Classification is a multidimensional issue by nature, with, in this case, cultural/ethnic, geographical, political, economic, and other factors... each of these are 'weighted' differently by different people and thus the agglomeration of these will be different by different people. When we are being critical about something we should understand this and address when we think something should/shouldn't be considered or when it should be weighted differently for a given slice of classification. We should also realize that the nature of classification includes innumerable slices that are all valid to a greater or lesser extent in their own right. If something is just wrong, that's one thing, but often it's not so much that as that a given person's 'view' of something is heavily shaped by their particular weighting for a given set of data points and for which data points should even be included.

I'll join the group of Russian comments being surprised by this division, however I''ll have to admit that us ourselves did not bother to do a greater job recording such video. I'll just try to enhance it buy trying to add to it. Explaining to Canadians whats my hometown of Krasnoyarsk in south eastern siberia is like, I'll always compare it to Calgary and Edmonton with only difference of Alberta primarily doing oil and south eastern Siberia doing metals and still sometimes space and defence infrastructure. Other than that both very culturally independent by population size and diversity of nature for recreational stuff.

Stop russian aggression. Russian people resist the corrupt kremlin Regime! Learn from the example of Sophie Scholl

@konrad1916
@

Why did you include the occupied Crimea, which belongs to Ukraine, as part of Southern Moscovia?

Does this reflect your personal political beliefs regarding the justification of Moscovia aggression towards a neighboring country, or did you simply use a map of Moscovia from Kremlin-controlled (or influenced) sources without realizing it depicted a part of another country?

No offense intended, I’m genuinely curious to learn your position on this issue as a westerner.

Thank you for the informative unique video anyway! 🙏🏻🔥
