Solo Through War-Torn Donbass 🇺🇦

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- 🇺🇦 In 2014 the Ukrainian part of the Donbass erupted into war. Separatists from the Lugansk and Donetsk regions took up arms and took control of Ukrainian towns all along the eastern region of the country. Eventually they were pushed back until they controlled just the cities of Lugansk and Donetsk and some surrounding villages. I went off to visit some of the towns that the Ukrainian army had re-taken along the front lines to see how life was progressing and to hunt for the ultimate Soviet mosaic...

What a difference a year makes. I hope all the people in this video come through the war in one piece.
- No filming in the metro!
- *Oh no! Anyway...*
Collab with kreosan is needed spread message
my guy just walked like 5 metres and started filming again lol
He should respect it. I bet even the woman herself didn't want to be filmed.
@@odinas3717 yeah ok. i dont know whats with expecation of privacy in public places. Metro is not a secret goverment building i think
@@andr333y Lol right
Dude literally went to a warzone just so he could look at a mural and say “wow! So soviet!” Fair play
Bald hasn’t uploaded is he alright?
10:00
Cab guy : "you're speaking bad russian."
Bald: "Thanks!"
Christina was cute - thanks for including that; it was fun seeing a kid being a kid.
Bold doesn't know but Metro is considered a strategic object in terms of war, bomb shelter and logistics in Soviet Union. That is why Babushkas are ready to go to war for filming there. 😆🤣
Ah! That makes sense. Thank you.
I assumed it was the reason,
the rules were changed but babushka still lives in soviet union
Lol, he does know about that and so do most people, I think. That is the reason so many of the metro stations are built deep underground, to act as a nuclear shelter. He just wanted to film and then continued filming after he was told not to. xD
BALD KNOW ALL
"Goodbye sunny Bakhmut, I hope we meet again"
That one hurt a little bit
Cop: "Hey stop no filming"
Bald: *Surprised Pikachu face* "Forgive me"
Also Bald: "So anyways the metros here are not very fancy..."
It's the surprised Pikachu face for me 🤣🤣
Bald see a particle of dust..
Bald: wow what a pure Soviet dust particle
Babushka: No filming in Metro!
Bald: .... what?
You are lucky it’s not a heavyweight babushka! Lol
Bald can charm babushkas in any weight class!
definitely not a *soviet* babushka xD
Bald's persuasion skill is really high. It's rare he fails those dialog checks.
good old KGB
sayamanonemotime .
Think about this, regarding the little girl on the bus filming herself: she is close to, if not living in a war zone. It's the dead of winter in North East Ukraine, probably 15 degrees F, every plant life is dead, the sky is gray (likely has been for months), ground covered in inches of snow ... yet still she smiles bright and finds beauty in her environment. Pretty powerful stuff.
Can we just respect - There is no intro - There is no VPN/Raid shadow legends/man scaped sponsor - Bald giving the meat always, none of the fat!
Dude that metro station looks exactly the same as the ones in north korea!
Communism
looks a lot more similar to the metro under your basement
Every metro in every ex-Soviet city looks exactly the same
what are you doing here alex :D
Bald is becoming true Russian "apologize for doing something wrong - and then just keeps doing it" :)
The mural on the destroyed building on 18:05 isn't a random lady. She's a local teacher of Ukrainian literature, she used to teach it for years. Her husband's got injured 20 meters away from the building, and their flat is just in the building nearby, facing the frontline. I think this gives a strong symbolic message, especially considering her profession.
P.S. Mural was made by Australian painter
I learned that from Euromaidan press, or maybe UNIAN, yes.
"excuse me can you please take a video of me reading my babushka magazine?"
haha that's exactly what I had to say to a stranger
@@baldandbankrupt I didn’t even think about that I’m just here assuming you got a crew 🤦🏾♂️
@@baldandbankrupt And she just happened to be the prettiest girl on the bus lol That's why I moved to Poland 20 years ago as central and eastern European woman are wonderful at least that's what my Polish wife tells me. 😂😂 By the way as a fellow Brighterian let's hope the seagulls can stay up this year.
Packer, does that big surprise in my office come from you?
"you'll notice the metro stations aren't fancy..."
*Points at marble columns and walls*
I thought that too.
@immersionJP _at least it isn't some kind of piss-eating lichen grafted on to moldy concrete from the 1930s_
There is a lack of mosaics and gold, obviously
Bald must of never seen our plain stations in rural America
This whole thing looks like Portland, OR circa 2021
Bald you documented a real piece of history with this film.
Next issue of Babushka: "have you seen this bald spy?"
I still think bald has military background or intelligence background. After everyone picked up on it after he called kilometers klicks. He has been very careful on the way he talks
@@dkjoses12 Mi6 for sure

These are the glory days. I don’t think there is any better. This guy is brilliant.
@Vic weegee TH-cam poops. I stand with you in remembrance, brother
@Sad snake baking sand cake I think he's referring to the kinds of videos that popped up on TH-cam shorty after going online. Travel vlogs were more like home movies, with little to no post work other than some editing. I think the majority of the stuff I saw uploaded onto TH-cam were of the awkward, home movie type.
@Sad snake baking sand cake The one I can remember off hand is a guy names Andrew Princeton (Possibly misspelled the name) getting a head massage in India. The video may be called The Head Massage, but I'm not sure. The video is grainy and rough, with little in the way of nice presentation. The challenge is that finding those older videos now is getting tougher. The way TH-cam organizes videos, it seems that the older ones get buried. I've noticed a lot of old videos I used to see are impossible to find, if they're still on here at all.
And also. Y'all should check out Shiey's content.
“As you can see the station isn’t very fancy” still more aesthetically pleasing than 99% of the underground stations in other countries
Don’t go picking up discarded military equipment mate. It could be booby trapped even years later

Bakmut, Avdivka and Lisychansk, these names are world famous now. There's almost nothing left of Bakmut and Avdivka now, only rubble. You got some of the last pictures of these towns.
Christina is the star of this video " look how beautiful it is here" beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the beauty of Christina's words and her innocents should be the pride of the Ukrainian people!
@@xyema-mpa-ma-ma that's whatever, a lot of ukrainians talk russian
True. I hope that she and her generation doesn't fuck things up like we did
@@xyema-mpa-ma-ma Pretty sure most Ukrainians know Russian.
90% of Ukrainians speak fluent Russian And 75% use it as their first language at home. The laws force them to use Ukrainian at work with customers
@@xyema-mpa-ma-ma There are people in Finland that have swedish as their native language and speak swedish to eachother... Does that mean they arent finnish or hate their country? No, not at all! What is your point?
Filming is not forbidden btw.
Its a common mentality of my people that pisses me off. We call it синдром вахтера (Watchmen sindrom) when people of simple jobs takes on themselves responsibility that noone ask them to do. And when they do it they don't base on the book but their own visionary of things which is mostly very different from normal.
Don’t worry we have a quite a few in the states as well
Oh, I thought it could be due to fears of terrorist attacks
As a Ukrainian myself I find it weird too, there’s nothing that says he can’t film
they do that in North Korea tooo

Or that weird Soviet guy.
The mosaic's fetishes.
Dude!! You literally brought tears in my eyes. I was born in a super small town called Antratsyt which is about 1h by car south from Lugansk. We moved to Czech where I grew up very long time ago but I was still visiting my relatives in Antratsyt fairly regularly right until the war started. I've lost contact with them ever since. Now I have a decent job living in Sweden which makes it easy for me to get cocky sometimes.. but watching your videos humbles me very much.. I wish I could go there and reconnect with my roots again. Very painful. Thank god for your courage to go there and thank you for doing what you're doing. Big fan. Cheers from Uppsala! Sergej.
Just casually strolling around the ruins of a battlefield, "Oh look a rocket launcher"

"When the owners fight, the slaves suffer." -- A wise Babushka
it's the old Ukrainian idiom, more literally - When thw lords (masters) fight, the plebs' foreheads "cracking"
We say when elephants fight the ants get crushed.
In Africa the old saying is, "When the elephants fight, only the grass suffers'!
Only the corrupt profit from war
Word "slave" in English might as well originate from the word Slav. Eastern Europeans have been suffering since the ancient times.
That part with the young girl filming had me smiling, it's moments like that make your channel very special Ben
She looked dark like a Gypsy.
@@edlawrence5059 ok, cool?

I just want someone to look at me the way Bald looks at Soviet mosaics.
HaHa, you’re asking for a bit too much from the world, eh Ad?
sup original post man
Not seen any new video. Hope he is in good health
Quick update of the region everyone: massive military conflict started today on 3/11/2021 in Donbass, it's a miracle that Bald left right before the conflict.
The people looking at him like he's crazy never gets old
They do the same crap to me all day everyday .
Because he's too loud and uses a lot of gesticulation. Literally looking for trouble (to get robbed etc.) , lol.
He reacts to danger like a normal person on heavy doses of Xanax would. He is crazy.
@hulladaemon bruv that shit is fucking hilarious. This guy would knock someone the fuck out if they tried it

"you don't speak Russian very well" lmao that hit Mr Bald right in the feelings
I believe the driver changed his mind in the end. Bald pronounced 'avdiivka' very bad, no wonder the man was confused at first.
People over there will tell you what you probably don't want to hear.
@@uxtbI It sounds like he gave the town's name in Ukrainian. The pronunciation given by the cabbie is the Russian pronunciation.
@@Nappse okay snowflake
And yes, people in that part of the world are more likely to state the unvarnished truth. (I wonder what those arguing babushkas were calling each other,..)
This episode was starting to get really depressing until Bald got on the bus and that little girl took his camera and was pretending to be a vlogger. That was adorable and I hope she does well in life.
amen
This is our hope for the future. Hopefully the next generation will not screw things up the way we did
Yeah, her English wasn't bad either. I don't know if she learned it in the school or Bald told her that phrase, but either way she nailed it...
Dude literally went to a warzone just so he could look at a mural and say “wow! So soviet!” Fair play
mr bald is the most underappreciated channel on TH-cam:
0% unnecessary content
0% self promotions
100% babushka approved entertainment
We all know he works for the Babushka secret society.
Underrated? He's headed towards 3m subs.
I don’t know why you don’t rate him, but this video has had almost half a million views in a day and he has nearly 3 million subscribers.
I can’t imagine what you are expecting of him.
if he was under like 300k subs then yea he would be considered highly underrated for the content he's providing but i think its safe to say that if anyone has 2.7m subs with views like his, then he's defo not underrated haha
Perhaps you meant under appreciated?
I googled "soviet mosaic" and the first image was just the shining glare of a bald head
😂😂
LOL best comment 🤣🤣🤣
I was going to say 'Top 5 soviet mosaics in the Ukraine' probably doesnt attract a lot of google traffic ....
Maybe someone talented could make a Soviet mosaic of Bald's head and put that as the channel logo.

I believe there is no real prohibition, just some spoiled official will.

Some subways were even enforced by judgement to remove this illegal prohobition from public places.

I came back to rewatch this in Jan 2023. It is surreal hearing and seeing places like Avdiivka and Lysychansk, but the real cherry on the cake is the pit stop in Bakhmut! For somewhere that gets barely 3 minutes of screen time and is relatively glazed over in this video to be basically the focus of the entire world right now is crazy..
Also extremely eerie to know that everything we are seeing is rubble now. I hope that everyone we see and meet in this video is safe xx

Mr. "Bald's" videos are the most honest look at the real world. He is like a the photographer that captures the images everyone else misses because they are chasing the bright and beautiful baubles. His exploration of what lurks beyond the places the tourist buses go....brings the grim reality, as well as a better understanding of the good and bad in people....but certainly, the most honest exploration of understanding of the place and people he meets along his journey.
Great description
I agree, he gives you a feel for what it's like for the average person living there.
When I was in high school, mid 80s, I always did reports exploring the life of average people in different places or times in history. The teachers hated that. They just wanted to hear the stats. When did this country exist, who ruled it, what type of government and did they have or the war history.
Yea, that stuff is important but I was, and still am, more interested in the lives of average people. What is it like to live there? Bald captures the lives of average people and I love that.
Totally agree with you.

"Babushkas secret"
Surely there's some other way we can sort this disagreement out? ;)
22:40 As long as children continue to see beauty wherever they are, there is still hope.
She doesnt know how it used to be before man. But people do know, and thats what it really about.
@@Yaltadvij No. It isn't. The past is fixed. You can only go forward. The child is happy and sees beauty NOW. Nostalgia is a trap.

“And you’ll notice that the metro stations here’s aren’t very fancy”
People in New York: 🥲😓😢😖
You’ve seen the metro of Moskva?
People in Boston , stations are falling apart a year after they redo them , its called don't kill the job . They can't get the Chinese trains they buy to stay on the tracks .
NY subway is not that bad bruh its just because NY is like 10 million ppl and they have lots of homeless so ofc subway smell like piss and there is graffiti everywhere but honestly NY subway is decent
@@streettravelxxi So we now accept a station that have homeless hanging out smells like piss and the stations have been personalized with spray paint but the trains move ok. Can't we shoot for clean stations , no homeless and stations that smell and look clean . Nobody has any pride in America , just throw the trash out the car window. There was a homeless person putting tissues on the seats of the subway car and if you moved it to sit down he would come over and ask you to pay for it . Who needs that after working all day ?
He nearly started another bloody war in that fish market
as a ukrainian i can assure you that it was just a normal babushka behaviour

Hi
Nah they have at it daily I bet!
Interesting to see our reality with the eyes of an "outsider". Also your ability to connect with people is amazing. Great job, many thanks
Im american (provided for perspective) and what I notice is that he always embraces with fresh eyes ignoring any prejudices.
It brings your corner of the nearer to ours, so we can appreciate how things are, now and in the past. Well done Mr Bald ( we share the same hairstyle 😹)
I’m ao glad we get these kinds of perpsectives into the war in Donbass & Luhansk. God keep and protect you, make sure you stay safe
It was a lovely encounter with the child. It's always refreshing to see a grain of hope in the middle of such a gray and sad environment. Bald is capturing a real human experience, something that goes beyond the fibers of mankind.
Cannot be replicated, will forever be part of TH-cam history.
