Витя и Лера из Республики Саха / Люди в России делают вид, что ничего не происходит

Vitya and Lera are our guests from Yakutia. They recently moved to Kazakhstan with their family and live in Almaty. The reason for their move is political. Vitya told us he watches Zamandas podcasts and films on our channel. We met through this. We talk about relocation, their son's first steps in Kazakhstan, why they liked Kazakhstan, how they blend in with the locals, learning about our culture through music and films, conversations with taxi drivers, why Yakuts have Russian names, and their plans to learn Kazakh and open a media school in Almaty, making the city their home. We broach the topic of colonization, which includes, for example, an interesting fact: in Sakha (Yakutia), schools don't teach native history, but rather Russian history. We discuss the Yakut language, which is struggling to develop. And we talk about the war. Vitya and Lera came to the podcast because they felt a need to speak out. Here are a few key points from the podcast: "The standard of living hasn't dropped dramatically, but the national background has changed, the signs are Z, and it's like you're sitting on a powder keg. Those who are against the war don't speak out loudly." "Why are they fighting Nazism in Ukraine if Nazism is when you come from Yakutia to Moscow?" "If you're against killing people, you'll get 15 years in prison." "Kazakh hospitality is when they find out you're Yakut or Sakha and immediately accept you as one of their own." "People in Russia pretend nothing's happening." We wish Vita and Lera success in Kazakhstan and hope that they will be able to build a future for themselves and their child here.
