It's been 5 years of traveling in Russia with my camera. All this time I've been sharing this journey of self-discovery and discovering my homeland here on my channel. In this video, I'll ski 100km to the deep Siberian taiga, cross from Kemerovo oblast to the republic of Khakassia, meet an ethnic group of Shore peoples, live in mountain refuges, explore hidden caves under snow and reflect on my way on YouTube toward 1M subscribers.
