2019.11.11,Monday,Light snow,-5°C,The street is covered with a thin layer of snow,The chill is getting thicker。

Ling Feng pulled his suitcase and prepared to go to the station.

Take a 9 o'clock morning coach from Ulan-Ude to Barguzin district, your own farm territory!

It was still early, and he set off in a hurry.

Stop by to visit the customs of "Buryatia".

Buryatia is located on the southern border of the Russian Federation, on the border with Mongolia, with Lake Baikal on the left and Chita Oblast on the right.

Area: 350,000 square kilometers

Total population: more than 1 million

The area is almost equivalent to a province in China, but the permanent population is only the size of a large county, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.

80% forest coverage, pine trees dominate, most of the area is mountainous and hilly, arable land is less, water is abundant.

The economic level is slightly worse, lower than that of western China.

In the capital of Ulan-Ude, there is a state university, Buryatia State University, which is ranked relatively high in the Russian Federation.

Other than that, there's nothing remarkable about it!

The only famous one is the Baikal district.

There is also the coastal Zabaikal National Park, the Barguzin Wildlife Reserve, and the industry is dominated by mining.

Ulan-Ude also has a number of industrial parks.

Large locomotive factories, repair shops, glass factories, aircraft manufacturing and repair shops, and so on, are very small in number, and the main industries are agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and tourism, and water and electricity are very cheap.

Important large towns have heating supply!

But... Barguzin is not ...

The cost of a small town of two or three thousand people is too high, so the official does not provide heating, but the price of electricity is reduced.

The price of natural gas is also cheaper.

Ulan-Ude, there are no skyscrapers, and there are even many wooden houses in the suburbs, similar to the old county town in western China.

Of course, they have an airfield!

There is also a very formal national university.

Several railways meet in Ulan-Ude, including the line between the Chinese and Russian capitals [Κ3], which is easily accessible.

There are long-distance bus departures to Barguzin.

The ticket price is more than 900 rubles, which is quite cheap!

Ling Feng casually found someone and asked for directions-

Use mobile translation software to ask someone:

“как-пройти-баргузин?”

баргузин is Barguzin, which translates to Barguzin in Russian, and is a simple sentence.

Many foreigners are enthusiastic to help guide the way.

When I was about to get to the station, I asked again.

Idle eggs hurt, pure boredom, practicing Russian, the last time I asked was an old Soviet Russian couple, a slightly chubby couple who looked about fifty years old, no longer young.

The two Soviet and Russian couples smiled after understanding:

“по-дороге-Я-тебя-провожу.”

“по-дороге… Budaluye... By the way?can you take me along the way?можно... Mozhna (can)... Thank you... Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

Ling Feng said as he translated, and happily thanked them and agreed to take a ride.

Because there is no danger in the system evaluation.

What's more, what is there to be afraid of? I followed the old couple to the parking lot and got into a Lada off-road vehicle.

White Lada off-road, old from a few years ago.

He smiled and reluctantly introduced himself in Russian:

"I... Moe... Name... Bi Miao... Ling Feng... Ling Feng... I'm from Rongcheng, Huaxia, and I'm very happy to meet both. ”

The tone is jerky, but barely clear!

Two Russian couples welcomed with a warm smile:

"Hey, mud howl, zero madness, welcome, we happen to live in Barguzin too, Ust Barguzin. ”

"You're here for a trip to Lake Baikal?"

They repeated the question slowly in Russian.

However, Ling Feng easily understood, and the system directly translated the reminder into Chinese, and provided answer assistance:

“Не，Я-приехал-в-бизнес.”

(No, I'm going to do business)

This sentence is simple, and it is very difficult to explain it clearly, and finally in broken Russian, I can explain things clearly.

"I, in Barguzin, bought a farm, which I am going to invest in here, came to Soviet Russia for the first time. ”

"My farm is next to Lake Baikal. ”

Confirming the location, the old couple also replied:

"No problem, by the way, we'll take you there. The chubby middle-aged and elderly uncle in plain clothes introduced himself with a smile:

"We also live in the small town of Barguzin."

"My name is: Yuri Viktoevich Petronov, this is my wife: Tanya Andreyevna Petronova, I do odd jobs locally, raise my own cattle and sheep. ”

The name structure of the Russians in the Soviet Union includes –

First name + patronymic + last name

For example:

Tanya Andreevna Petronova

Tanya – my name.

Andrei – father's name.

Petronova – Surname/Husband's Surname.

Yuri Viktoevich Petronov

Yuri – my first name.

Victor – Father's name.

Petronov – surname/husband's surname.

At the end of the surname, the male is "husband", the female is "baby", and the woman follows her husband's surname after marriage, and the name will not change.

Patronymic is the father's first name + suffix.

Male patronymic + Vic/Jevic/Ovich

Female patronymic + Yevna/Lovna

In official documents, you can put the surname in front!

Ivanova Ekaterina Borislovna

In daily life, it is generally called by surname, or only by name, and if you want to be polite and respectful, you are called by first name + patronymic.

Of course, if the relationship is very familiar, you can call the nickname:

For example, Ling Feng is called Eva, a beautiful agent.

+ Skий at the end of the name belongs to the Christian name, which is generally added after joining the church (ский).

There were at least 100,000 surnames in Soviet Russia, but there were no traditional surnames that were used in large numbers, and the large-scale popularization of surnames was very short, and ordinary people did not have surnames during the tsarist period, which belonged to the privileges of the nobility.

In the last 100 years, the registration of surnames has been promoted.

The most numerous surnames are: Ivanov

Moreover, Ivan can also be a first name, which is a very common name, and the surname Peter is also common.

Yuri (Юрий) = farmer

Tanya (Дарья) = kind

With obvious peasant colors, at a glance, you can tell that these two couples are from peasant backgrounds, the same as Ling Feng.

The three of them chatted happily and set off.

Ulan-Ude - Barguzin Town, 315km, the road conditions are not bad on the way, and the scenery is also very beautiful.

Most of the houses on the roadside are made of wood.

Except in urban areas, cement buildings are rare!

Of course, there are many reasons for this, not just the cheap cost, Aunt Tanya introduced:

"In Siberia, the temperature is low/the temperature difference is large, and there is no very hard stone underground, but a thick permafrost. ”

"Permafrost is soil and ice. ”

"Temperatures rise in the summer and the surface melts. ”

"High-rise buildings, if there are no more than ten meters of columns, will definitely tilt and collapse and tear, and it is very difficult to build. ”

"Most families choose to build wooden houses. ”

"Timber is cheaper in Siberia. ”

What's more, in winter, dozens of degrees below zero, ordinary steel will become very cold and brittle, and it is not as safe as the quality of wood.

Pine cypress is much cheaper than Huaxia!

Soon, the car passed through Tataurovo-Koma-Kika and then came to the shore of Lake Baikal and drove along the lakeshore road.

"Wow~Oh~It's so beautiful~"

"Lake Baikal is indeed worthy of its name!"

Ling Feng looked at the boundless, endless, and magnificent Lake Baikal, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and sigh.

The autumn wind on the shore of the lake kills, and the grass and trees gradually wither and yellow.

Only the pines and cypresses remain green and never change color.

The highway shuttles through mountains, cliffs, and river beaches!
