The City Of Ufa. Real Russia ep.100 (4K)
More than two years during hundred of episodes I tell you about Russia and mostly about my homeland – the city of Ufa but always it is an insights into certain places and events.
In this video is about the city of Ufa in general. In one single episode and in simple words, I try to give you maximum of imagination about Ufa, the host of BRICS and SCO Summits in 2015!
The city of Ufa located in about 1 400 km east from the capital of Russia, Moscow. It takes 30 hours by train or 2 hours by plane to get to Ufa from Moscow.
Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia.
The city of Ufa founded in 1574 on the orders of Iva The Terrible. It began as a fortress on a mountain.
Good choice because If somebody would try to attack, they will have to go through the river, climb on a mountain and get through the high walls of the fortress!
Population of Ufa is 1.2M citizens. Big city which is came out of just a small fortress.
Russian Federation consisted of 85 federal territorial subjects, including 22 republics. All republics dedicated to the indigenous ethnic groups of people who lived and live on those territories. So Bashkortostan is an indigenous land where people of Bashkir nation lived. That’s why it is Bashkortostan.
Bashkortostan have the Head of the Republic and State Assembly which is called Kurultay!
But the State Assembly of Bashkortostan controls mostly the questions of the whole republic. What about the city of Ufa, it is more in a power of the city administration.
The city manager and 35 elected deputies are working in the City Council and take care of Ufa.
Nowadays the Republic of Bashkortostan is one of the biggest providers of oil in Russia.
The first oil deposit on a territory of our republic researched in 1932 and in 5 years after that was build the first refinery. An oil industry is a head of economy which engage thousands of people all over republic and moves many other business activities like huge chemical, machine and energy industry.
Bashkir people have their own national language – Bashkir language. But in the same time Bashkortostan is a part of Russia and a lot of Russians lives there as well.
So as a result here we have two official languages – Russian and Bashkir.
Bashkirs and Russians are not only belong to different ethnic groups and have different languages, but have a different religions as well. Russians are mostly dedicated to an Orthodox Christianity and Bashkirs are into so called Sunni Islam. They are Muslims of Sunny Islam.
So in Ufa we have as a lot of mosques, as churches.
The difference in religions never caused any problems between Russians and Bashkirs.
Bashkortostan is really very friendly region of Russia. No wonder why in Ufa we have the House of People’s Friendship, also knows as a Congress Hall. It’s the building which is architected in collaboration with Japanese architect Kiokadzu Arai.
It's going to be one of the main places of the Summits of BRICS and SCO in July of this year. BRICS is a union of Brasil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and SCO is a Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
These summits are interesting to me at least because they will attract thousands of people from so many countries to visit our city. That is also a great thing which is drive an economy of our region. For example, upcoming summits was a key factor for constructing at once 9 new hotels in Ufa (including Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Sheraton and others).
I invite everyone to come to visit Ufa. With all the new hotels you’re definitely will not have a problems with place to live.
You can come to Ufa all possible ways.
Airport of Ufa is one of the largest in Russia and provide as regular domestic flights, as international flights. It works since 1938.
The Railway Station of Ufa is one of the main railway centers in Russia which has a direct railways to 18 of 20 biggest cities of the country. Everyday it serve 60 long-distance trains from all over Russia.
Ufa is the only city of Russia which isconnected with Moscow in the same time by two interstate routes - M5 and M7.
Ufa as the city based in 1574 have a huge history. When you will walk here you can do it around a great buildings made in best traditions of 19th century in the historical center of Ufa. You can enjoy walking through the Soviet district around so called Stalins and so called Khruschevs buildings. You may feel the vibe of greyness but quiet years of a panel residential buildings of the late Soviet Union period.
Welcome to the city of Ufa! Welcome to the Republic of Bashkortostan!

Gagarin Street, 5 (Ufa, Russia)
It’s just in a few steps from the Yuri Gagarin street art. The graffiti dedicated to the Veterans of the WWII which is in Russia more known as a “Great Patriotic War”. There you can see kinda collective images of how the veterans looked like when they was a young soldiers participating in a WWII.

This is a street art with a fragment of the picture of famous Russian artist (1862-1942) , Mikhail Nesterov, “The Youth of Veneral Sergiy of Radonezh”.

This is a huge wall which goes across the Head Office of Uralsib Bank, the highest building in Ufa, Russia. It’s the wall where an artist can legally draw their graffiti. A lot of different arts there.
Mendeleev street, 116 (Ufa, Russia)
Graffiti of the dancing Bashkir lady. The city of Ufa is the capital of The Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia. As stated from the name of the republic, historically this is an indigenous land of Bashkir people. This is a nation which has it’s own rich history, culture and traditions. So no wonder why there a Bashkir lady in a national costume is dancing a national dance above the clouds.
This street art painted on a huge solid wall of 10-floors residential building.
Avrory street, 17/1 (Ufa, Russia)
Street art of a boy who reads the book and the shine of knowledge is fallin’ on his face. This graffiti located on a wall of one of the children’s libraries of Ufa.

Nowadays, definitely the best street art in Ufa. It is not only the biggest graffiti painted on a big solid wall of 12-stage residential building but the most colorful picture with a lot of different elements. It is called “Mother with a Baby”. On it’s graffiti we can see a beautiful lady with a water in her hands where right under them in a flower laying a baby. Also there a dove which is sitting in her shoulder.

Trip to Burzyansky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia, located in 385km from my hometown of Ufa and the capital of the Republic. Featuring beekeepers from Tanzania and Italy - Dos Santos Silayo, Stephen Msemo and Francesco Colafemmina.
Burzyansky District is a very well-known region of Bashkortostan for it's beautiful nature - Ural Mountains, Kapova Cave, woods and rivers. Such environment is a great basement for a wild bee keeping (honey hunting) that gives one of the best wild honey in the World.
Across the Ural Mountains in Burzyansky District flows the White River (Belaya River), a largest river in the Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia. Again, thankful to a nature, it's one of the best places for rafting in a cleanest mountain stream around mountains, rocks, woods and fresh air.
Kapova Cave is a historical treasure of Burzyansky district of Bashkortostan. A cave of paleolithic era. Only the drawings which were found there is in age of at least 24,000 years.
If you will come to Burzyansky district once, you will want to get back again for sure. So am I. Planning to get back later for a more extended videos about rafting and honey hunting.
