00:00Have you ever truly felt cold? Not just a chill but a cold so fierce it burns your skin,

00:07freezes your breath in the air and turns every minute into a fight to stay alive.

00:12In Yakutsk winter temperatures drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius and sometimes even lower.

00:18Most people can barely survive a few minutes outdoors without protection and yet some have

00:23no choice. No roof, no warmth, nowhere to go. This is the story of Piotr, a homeless man surviving in

00:32one of the coldest cities on earth. Yakutsk is home to around 400,000 residents. Even with heated homes

00:43and warm clothing surviving in this climate is a big challenge but for the roughly 400 homeless

00:48people living here every winter is a battle for survival. Today is relatively warm, only minus 38

00:55degrees Celsius. For Piotr that means he can spend a little more time outside without risking frostbite.

01:03Piotr knows that clothing is his best defense against the cold.

01:07He wears as many layers as possible, bundling up in whatever he can find. Locals often donate jackets,

01:14pants, boots, whatever they can spare. His trousers are always too big, his jacket won't zip but every

01:21extra layer is a lifeline. Piotr is 42 years old. He was not always homeless. He grew up in a village

01:30with his family living a stable and decent life. His parents were working hard providing for their

01:36children but Piotr's path took a different turn. His childhood coincided with the 1990s,

01:43a time of severe economic crisis in Russia. The collapse of the Soviet Union changed everything.

01:49The country plunged into economic chaos, mass unemployment, financial ruin for many families.

01:56Inflation wiped out savings and for many young people like Piotr, the future felt uncertain.

02:02The most important is that.

02:05That isカメラ.

02:07They also carried out to India.

02:10Inflation was one of the most important topics.

02:14The inhabitants of one country were here.

02:15The inhabitants of another country were a few important topics.

02:19It can't be good.

02:20Well the inhabitants of the country were one of the most important things.

02:24Peter never made it to university, instead he found himself on the streets lost to the

02:48harsh realities of life in the city.

02:51Over the years, countless people and social workers have tried to help him, offering

02:56him work, a place to stay, a chance to start over.

03:00But each time, after working for a few days, he disappears, choosing alcohol over stability.

03:21Now, he no longer wants to return to a normal life.

03:25He has accepted his fate, aware that he could have had a different future, but either unable

03:31or unwilling to change his path.

03:42Winter in Yakutsk is relentless.

03:44For a homeless person, it's a daily fight for survival.

03:47Peter knows this better than anyone.

03:50The temperature can drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius, and on the coldest night, it reaches

03:55minus 64 degrees Celsius.

03:57In these extreme conditions, even a few minutes outside without proper clothing can be life-threatening.

04:03Yet, Peter has endured this life for years.

04:06Every night, he faces the coldest, most unforgiving city in the world, alone with no shelter.

04:11Peter drinks vodka every day, believing it keeps him warm.

04:40It numbs the pain, dulls the hunger, and makes the cold feel more bearable, at least for

04:45a while.

04:47But in reality, alcohol does the opposite.

04:50Many homeless people in Yakutsk do not survive the winter, but Peter does, because he has learned

04:56how to survive.

04:58During the coldest night, Peter hides in building entryways, curling up next to the radiator to

05:03stay warm.

05:05For most of the winter, he remains inside, avoiding the freezing cold outside.

05:09Hello.

05:10Hello.

05:11Hello.

05:12Hi.

05:13Here.

05:14It's the most beautiful student of the family!

05:16Hi?

05:17Can you see it?

05:18Can you see it?

05:19Yes.

05:20Hello.

05:21Hello.

05:22I hope you have a beautiful dream.

05:22You can see it here.

05:24How do you write the show with a gift?

05:25You don't need anything else?

05:26You can show it in your own gift.

05:28What do you write.

05:30Yes, I would love you.

05:30I was like, you can try to see this.

05:32That's true.

05:33I know my story.

05:34That's true.

05:35How did I get it ever, I was like.

05:38I said, believe, I don't like God.

05:43You don't like God, and you're kind of impeding you.

05:46Really...

05:49What...

05:51Oh no...

05:54Bye, what makes my mind describe this book?

05:59I like this book.

06:03I don't know.

06:05I don't know.

06:19In Yakutsk, there are shelters offering warmth, free meal, medical care, and even psychological support.

06:26But Peter rarely goes there.

06:28The shelters have rules, no drinking, no fight, and a structured daily routine.

06:33For someone like Peter, who has been living on the streets for nearly two decades,

06:38the freedom of his current lifestyle outweighs the comforts of a warm bed and regular meals.

06:44Peter has no stable source of food.

06:46He relies on the kindness of strangers.

06:49Sometimes, a passerby gives him a warm meal or money.

06:52On lucky days, someone might offer something substantial, enough to get through the day.

06:57On unlucky days, Hungers eats away at him, and he turns to alcohol to forget.

07:03He's going to carry a welcoming meal, he's going to share it with theIF.

07:05He's going to feed a shower if you had a food for a month.

07:07He's going to have a cabin.

07:09He's going to be able to eat a lot of food.

07:11He's going to try to eat a full food.

07:13He's going to be able to eat a few people.

07:15It's going to be able to eat a lot of food.

07:17The food is going to be the food that he will eat.

07:19The food is going to be able to eat a little bit.

07:21I don't know how to do it.

07:32You have to eat the food?

07:34Yes, I have to eat.

07:37What?

07:38I have to eat.

07:41My brother...

07:43I have to eat the food.

07:46I have to eat the food.

07:51What do you want to do with this?

08:09I want to do it

08:11I want to do it

08:13I want to do it

08:15I want to do it

08:25I want to do it

08:31At night finding a warm place to sleep is a constant struggle

08:35Most often he spends his night in a temporary holding cell at the police station

08:40In Yakutsk officers often detain homeless people who are intoxicated

08:44Mostly to prevent them from freezing to death in the brutal cold

08:48Peter is well known among the police

08:50The officers let him stay until morning knowing that out on the streets he might not survive the night

08:56Some other nights Peter preferred to sleep in the entryways of apartment buildings

09:02In Yakutsk all buildings are heated including the hallways

09:06Peter quietly sleeps into these buildings always choosing ones where residents won't complain

09:13He stays as silent as possible trying not to be noticed

09:17Many locals understand his situation and leave him alone

09:21Some even leave food or blankets knowing that a small act of kindness can mean the difference between life and death

09:29But it's never guaranteed

09:33Some nights he is forced out

09:35Wandering these frozen streets searching for another place to hide from the brutal cold

09:41He knows the danger

09:43If he falls asleep outside in the wrong place he may never wake up

09:47Despite everything Peter has made peace with his life

09:51The years on the street have numbed him to the possibility of change

09:55He no longer dreams of a different future

09:57Yet somehow every morning he wakes up and faces the cold again

10:03Once again
