00:00In a tiny village in Yakutia, where the weather goes from one extreme to another,

00:08we meet Oksana, a resident and a mother to six children.

00:12In just a month, winter is coming with temperatures dropping to a freezing minus 70 degrees Celsius,

00:18so Oksana must get her family ready.

00:23Heating is absolutely vital in Yakutia.

00:26Without proper heating, a house can turn dangerously cold and freeze in just an hour.

00:32So every morning before her children wake up, Oksana tends to her stove.

00:37This ritual provides her with a quiet, peaceful moment to meditate before a busy day starts.

00:49Oksana is 39 years old, works as a math teacher at the local school,

00:54while her husband, a skilled hunter, has ventured into the forest to provide food for their big family.

01:02In their village, where every home is made from wood,

01:05having a large supply of firewood is just the beginning of winter preparations.

01:10Equally vital is the meticulous work of reading the house itself.

01:15Oksana and her daughter Siyana start their winter preparations by maintaining the windows.

01:25In Yakutia, windows are designed with three layers and insulated with cotton wool

01:30to minimize heat loss during extreme temperatures.

01:34Seiyana is always there to help her mother.

01:45She is 15 years old, the second oldest in the family.

01:49Seiyana loves reading books and dreams of working in a library or becoming an actress one day.

01:55For Oksana and Seiyana, maintaining their windows is an annual ritual

02:12to ensure that their home stays warm and cozy during the harsh winter.

02:17There is no time for a break.

02:28The next task of winter preparation is collecting moss from the forest.

02:37Thankfully, moss grows everywhere in Yakutia and is easy to find.

02:41Oksana and her family use it to seal the caps in their house.

02:44It acts as a natural insulator, helping them withstand the cold winter.

02:49.

03:14When it comes to sealing the caps, Oksana and her children are working as a child

03:18working as a tight-knit team making the task less daunting the houses in

03:40Yakutia are constructed to withstand the unforgiving climate the thick wooden walls

03:45and triple glazed windows along with the moss insulation create a strong protection against

03:50the frigid cold remarkably the indoor temperature remains a cozy 23 degrees celsius during the winter

03:58offering a comforting escape from the harsh outdoor conditions

06:56in the extreme climate where temperatures can plumb to extreme minus 60 or even minus 70 degrees

07:02celcius only fewer can provide protection against such unbearable cold

07:08oksana understands the importance of saying volume from head to toe

07:44With winter arrival looming closer, Oksana turns her attention to yet another crucial

07:53task – stocking up on vegetables and berries for the long, frigid season ahead.

08:06Knowing that buying this from the store can be very expensive, Oksana spends a lot of

08:11time in her garden during the short summer.

08:14She carefully freezes the vegetables she grew herself, making sure her family has enough

08:18nutritious food to last through the long winter.

08:41For the fruits, cranberries are a local favourite and Oksana and her children are no exception.

09:03They turn these tartberries into a cranberry juice and delicious jam, which will bring

09:07some much-needed flavour to their winter meals.

09:13Oksana's preparation for the cold season is comprehensive.

09:17She crafts dozens of jars filled with salads and flavourful jams that taste like summer.

09:23This way, even when everything outside is frozen, her family can still enjoy the flavours of

09:29the warmer month.

09:34With all winter preparation complete, Oksana takes a moment to step outside and savor the

09:50last warm days.

09:51It's a well-deserved break after a day filled with hard work and careful planning.

09:57But finding a peaceful moment just for herself is important.
