00:00What is it like to raise a family in the world's coldest city,
00:04where winter temperatures plum to minus 64 degrees Celsius?
00:08Today we will explore the daily life of the largest family in Yakutsk,
00:13a family of 22 children who call this extreme place home.
00:22Alexander Pavlov, the father of the house, started his day bright and early,
00:26heading outside to gather ice to make sure his family has enough clean drinking water.
00:33Raising 22 children is a challenging task, and it's even more challenging in a place like Yakutsk.
00:40Alexander and his family live in the suburbs of the city, where like many others,
00:44they face the challenge of not having access to the central water supply.
00:49Instead, Alexander's family depend on water reserve containers
00:53to store the water needed for their daily activities.
00:56So, let's take a look at the house.
01:13Meanwhile, Oksana is waking up their children.
01:16Oksana and Alexander are loving parents to a total of 22 children, with 18 of them being adopted.
01:24Their family spans a wide age range, from the oldest, who is 37 years old,
01:29to the youngest, who is just 6 years old.
01:34The youngest members of their family are Sofia, Ramina and Nastya.
01:39Ramina is 9 years old and attends the local primary school,
01:43while 6 years old Nastya goes to a nursery next to their home.
01:47Today, Ramina has a day off from school, because her primary school doesn't work,
01:54when it's minus 45 degrees outside. However, the nursery continues to operate,
02:00even when it's as cold as minus 55 degrees, so Nastya still has to go to nursery.
02:06Today, the temperature outside is minus 48 degrees, which is quite common in Yakutia.
02:21As part of Alexander's morning routine is to check the heating in their home,
02:25to ensure his family stays warm on this ice-cold morning in Yakutsk.
02:35Despite the extreme cold, Alexander and his family rely on two gas boilers
02:39to keep their home comfortably warm at 25 degrees.
02:44Considering the size of their 3800 square foot home,
02:48heating costs are quite reasonable, around 200 dollars a month.
02:517.40 in the morning. All the kids are finally awake. It's time to get ready for school,
03:02nursery and university. The Pavlov family has 14 kids living with them now.
03:08Eight of them are married and have their own families, but often come to visit their parents.
03:15Despite having a big house, the Pavlov family still faces the daily challenge of a bathroom queue
03:20Each morning.
03:26Hello everyone, my name is David, my name is David.
03:36I am David and I am.
03:37I am Rouslan and I am.
03:38I am Nasjie Filipov.
03:41My oldest son.
03:42I am Filipov and I am.
03:44I am an assassin.
03:45Now you live!
03:47I forgot about it.
03:49My name is Janna, he is 11.
03:52My name is Kola, he is 12.
03:55My name is Algyzstan, he is 12.
03:58My name is Marcella, he is 13.
04:01My name is Léon, he is 13.
04:05My name is Sasha, he is 13.
04:10My name is Vova, he is 13.
04:13My name is Yulia, he is 13.
04:15My name is Safiya, he is 13.
04:25While children are busy with their morning routines, Oksana is making breakfast.
04:29Traditional Yakutian pancakes is a high energy food that keeps them warm during cold days.
04:37Managing schedules and responsibilities for such a large family can be overwhelming,
04:42so establishing routines and delegating tasks is essential and Oksana's children are always eager to help.
04:48Now it's time for breakfast.
04:50With just one kitchen in the Pavlov family, space is limited and can't comfortably fit everyone at once.
04:58So they found a way, they are eating in a two row with the youngest children eating first, followed by the oldest.
05:34That's what's what I said, this is a good thing.
05:40It's a good thing.
05:42I don't think I was able to see anything.
05:46But I don't know if I could see anything else.
05:50I don't know if I could see anything else.
05:54I'll be able to see something else.
05:56In general, I'm going to meet the people of God.
05:59Aksana and Alexander have shared a happy life together for 30 years.
06:28The decision to open their hearts and home to so many children came to Aksana when she
06:33was caring for her children.
06:37Being a teacher by profession, she has always been drawn to children and wanted to provide
06:42love, care and a comfortable home to as many as possible.
06:47As their family grew, so did the responsibilities and the need for more attention.
06:52This led Alexander to make the difficult decision of leaving his job as an engineer to provide
06:57better support for his family.
07:00Alexander and Aksana are fully dedicated to caring for their children.
07:04They received government support for their monthly expenses, which they used to provide
07:08food and clothing for all their children.
07:18After a hearty breakfast, it's now time for school.
07:21Archelana is 14 years old with 3 years left before graduating school, thinking of becoming
07:27an actress, dentist or singer.
07:31Her school days runs from 8.30 am to 3 pm with a standardized curriculum in Yakutia focusing
07:37on subjects like Russian language, literature, math and sciences.
07:42To get into university, Archelana must pass the unified state exam, a test in various subjects.
07:49Competition for university scholarship is tough.
07:52Without high unified state exam scores, student must pay tuition fees, which range from $2,000
07:58to $4,000 a year for local public universities.
08:02So Archelana is determined not to miss school even in the extreme cold of minus 48 degrees.
08:13Not only Archelana, but also her siblings go to school today.
08:17In Yakutsk, life continues even at such low temperatures.
08:20School, nurseries, universities and offices all continue to operate in such extreme weather.
08:28From a young age, local understand the importance of dressing appropriately to brave the harsh
08:32winters.
08:34They wear insulated trousers and special winter jacket designed for extreme weather.
08:48Luckily the Pavlos family lives right next to their school and nursery, just a 5-minute
08:52walk away.
08:54They choose their house location with their kids' safety in mind, making sure they don't
08:58have to walk too far outside.
09:01The older siblings look after the younger ones, ensuring they reach the nursery and school
09:06first to prevent them from freezing.
09:16Next in line are Alkistana and Archelana.
09:18Despite their school being relatively close to home, the older siblings always make sure they
09:23arrive school safely.
09:30The oldest members of the family are currently attending the local university in the city
09:35center.
09:36In a city with no subway or other public transportation options apart from buses, their daily commute relies
09:42on taking the bus.
09:43Vova, Diana, Yulia and Sasha start feeling the intense cold.
09:58This situation could quickly become dangerous and with no bus inside they must rush back home
10:04or try to stop a bus in car to avoid fluzzbite.
10:11Luckily, the bus arrives just in time so they can safely reach their university.
10:29The buses in Yakutsk are red for a specific reason, not just by chance.
10:33They are painted this way because the red color is highly visible, especially in thick fog.
10:39This makes it easier for people in Yakutsk to spot their buses from far away.
10:48Meanwhile, some kids are helping their parents around the house.
10:54And like kids all around the world, they are excited about not having school today.
11:00Primary schools are closed today, so they are enjoying their time at home and even playing
11:05outdoors, not minding the cold weather.
11:16Like most locals here, kids are relishing their days outside by playing on snow slides, ice
11:21skating and skiing.
11:23The kids try to play outside as much as they can until the cold becomes unbearable, at which
11:29point they move their activities indoors.
11:32Indoors they enjoy playing chess among other games.
11:35Alexander takes sports and health seriously, striving to instill a sense of fitness in his
11:40children.
11:43Alexander built their own indoor gym where the kids train and participate in various sports
11:48activities during the afternoon.
11:57The oldest members of the family are actively involved in professional sports such as athletic,
12:03skiing, boxing and archery, participating and winning in numerous sport competitions.
12:09All night, they are fighting over every time they are personas.

12:58important to stay strong and maintain good health to survive the harsh winter days.
13:07The kids are playing, the father of the house, Alexander, is busy making barbecue.
13:21The weather doesn't stop him from cooking outside on his special stove, even in the
13:51temperature tops below minus 40 degrees.
13:57The meat takes on a unique and delicious flavor when cooked in the frosty air, giving it an
14:01icy, special taste that the family loves.
14:05Alexander's wife, Oksana, is also busy preparing dinner with the help of the older girls.
14:24They are cooking up a delicious and hearty meal consisting of fish and Yakutian fried pies
14:29filled with meat and rice.
14:39Unlike other regions, vegetables are very expensive and rare in Yakutia due to the challenging growing
14:45conditions.
14:46Fruits are also rare in the traditional Yakutian diet.
14:50Instead, people often consume frozen berries, which are preserved and can be stored for long
14:55periods.
15:00In Yakutia, it's a cherished tradition to have soup every day and it not only fills their
15:22bellies, but also warms their souls during the cold winter days.
