Another video with YakutiaToday.com's pictures

Yakutia on YouTube.com

Yakutia is gaining ground on YouTube.com . Many videos dedicated to the biggest Russian region have appeared on the popular video hosting portal. Thanks to YouTube users. Just follow the link http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=yakutia and you'll see what I'm trying to say.

This is great, indeed. That's another efficient way to promote the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Yakutsk: Journey to the coldest city on earth

Two weeks ago I received a message from Shaun Walker, The Independent Moscow-based correspondent. He informed me of his coming to Yakutsk and asked for meeting and advising. So, he arrived, spent three days here, and wrote the great story Yakutsk: Journey to the coldest city on earth.

The article turned out to be a headliner in The Independent Travel Section. The story immediately was reposted in other mass media, blogs (eg, A Walsh View) and sites. It was even translated into Russian by InoPress.ru (link), and came out in local online newspaper editions.

Cool! Another good job we did!

P.S. Outdoor market in Shaun Walker's picture.

BTW, next month Zadig Productions French company's team is arriving for making a documentary of Yakutsk as one of four extreme cities on earth.

Another video: A Yakut Horse

Proud to announce. Umira2 made another video dedicated to Yakutia. This time she applied much creativy for the Yakut horse. Good work! Isn't it?

An interesting video

Umira, YouTube user, created an interesting video clip using YakutiaToday.com's photos. That seems to be the promotion of the site, Varya Larionova and Ysyakh (Yakut national holiday). Watch it!

Off-road expedition through Yakutia
