In this video I'll show you around Yakutsk the coldest major city in the world situated in Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, Russia. The coldest temperature that has ever been recorded in Yakutsk was 64,4°C (in 1891) but frosts reaching 50°C and 55°C would certainly not be a special occasion for local residents. I was curious what was it like to live in such freezing environment and went to Yakutsk to see how people live and how things work in the coldest city in the world. I tried to show you that life could be different for different layers of society so I didn't mind visiting local "ghetto" where people had to survive without a stable heating system and go to the outdoor toilets.
