What are the customs and customs of Siberia, Russia?

In Southern Siberia, on the banks of the Yenisey River, there live some ethnic minorities - Khakassians, Angara River, Lena River, Altai and Sayan Mountains, the Pearl of Eastern Siberia - —Lake Baikal. Lake Baikal is the deepest and possibly oldest lake in the world, with a history of 25 million years. It contains almost a quarter of the world's fresh water reserves, and it is very clear and transparent. The white disk with a diameter of 30 centimeters can still be seen 40 meters underwater in Lake Baikal. The altitude of Lake Baikal is about 500 meters. There are 1,850 species of animals and 850 species of plants living in Lake Baikal, many of which are endemic here. The severe cold in Siberia itself is also famous. Sometimes the cold reaches minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius. And minus 25 to 30 degrees Celsius simply doesn't attract the attention of local residents. This is a common temperature in winter. Summer in southern Siberia is very hot, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius. You can swim, although the water is often a bit cold: even in July the water temperature can only reach 17-18 degrees. There are many artificial "sea" here - the reservoirs of numerous hydropower stations. Southern Siberia is home to some large cities - Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk. The main attraction of Krasnoyarsk Territory is the Sayan Pillar Group, a unique nature reserve in the Eastern Sayan Mountains. The abrupt rocks form 80 groups of cliffs with a height of 100 meters. Some cliffs have names consistent with their shapes: old man, peasant woman, golden eagle, feather, castle, etc. This is a favorite place for mountaineering and rock climbing enthusiasts. The fascinating water tour starts from Krasnoyarsk and goes down the Yenisey River to the far north, to Dudinka and Dixon. Tuvans, Yakuts, Buryats. For example, there are only 80,000 people in Khakassia and less than 200,000 in Tuva. The people of these ethnic groups have unique ventriloquism arts. The performers do not sing the words, just use their throats to make sounds, which sometimes sound like a band playing, sometimes like the tapping of hooves, sometimes like the howls of hundreds of wild animals. They learn this art from childhood, but far from everyone can learn it. Interestingly, the ventriloquists were only men. Buryatia is located southeast of Lake Baikal and is the Buddhist center of Russia. There are more than thirty Buddhist monasteries - lamasery here. Like all steppe nomads, the Buryats have always loved horses. Horse owners always remember what each horse "looks like." Friendly horses are the main characters of many legends and stories. Mare’s milk – Mare’s milk is highly regarded for its medicinal properties. In the adjacent Tuva *** and state-owned monument marks the center of Asia. The roads here are few and difficult, but the magical natural environment attracts tourists. Relatively recently, another way of traveling has emerged in Russia - Arctic tourism. Take a helicopter from Moscow to the Spitsbergen Islands, then take a helicopter to an ice tent camp near the North Pole. Here tourists will spend a few days, but they will not be lonely: riding on a dog sled, running on a ski machine, hiking along ice floes, floating in a balloon over the white and silent land. There is even a polar sauna and recreational equipment in the camp. As long as the weather is suitable, they will take a helicopter and sprint to the geographical pole with coordinates of 90°00′00″. Happy tourists can call their relatives and friends through satellite phones and happily stay in the northernmost part of the earth. Click to take photos.
