Life in Yakutia / жизнь в Якутии

The cold months of winter are already behind us, nonetheless at nights it reaches -40C.
One of the more interesting events in 2015 was my trip to my relatives in the Ust-Aldansky region. I was there for three days.

My father told me that he comes from the Ust-Aldansky region and that we have many relatives there. At the end of January I was able to visit there for the first time. Before this for a whole week, I looked for transportation that could bring me to this remote place (there are no buses). Having arrived in the village of Kurbuhach, I asked people, "where do my grandmother's relatives live?" Probably to you this is funny. My grandmother had 21 brothers and sisters. In this region every tenth person is my relative! Three days they led me from one house to another, from one village to another. From morning to evening they fed me only meat, milk, and fish (this is their daily diet).
