When you look at this from Kolyas point of view - imagine living a life alone in the woods and suddenly a random Englishman starts showing up bearing vodka and all sorts of stuff and giving you company. Life is so random sometimes and I love it.
Guys this is bait... i've seen this spammer on multiple videos and no real evidence behind it in the sleightest form. Don't let these hate spam messages get to you.
one thing I like about him is that when he wakes up he gets dressed and tucks his shirt in puts a jacket on. Even though his clothes are dirty and rugged he still holds the routine of being in his mind presentable to go about his daily routine.
came here to say this! you can find solar powered lamp from ebay around 20 bucks. so that mini solar panel is outside and it is connected to led light inside all pre installed, literally nail it on the outside wall and cable it through window.
I'm more emotionally attached to the well-being of a random man in the radiation zone of a country I''ll likely never visit than I would ever have thought I'd be. Great to see Kolya again.
Dude the fact that you have gone back three times and seen the same guy is amazing. Do you understand how happy you have made that man?! You are something else ! Keep at it man and much love from Minnesota 🤟
Mr. Bald. You are an absolutely AMAZING person. Making two lonely old men share some companionship in a rather desolated place. That's really heartwarming.
This series with Koyla is my favourite . Mom had Parkinson’s, and I can’t imagine her alone in the woods , no support . Thank you for your kindness , Bald .
My interpretation is one should give advice but it should be realistic. Not some story filled with colourful words which many so called motivational speakers do.

Hey everyone! Long time no see...I had to take a bit of time to relax after the brutality of provincial Russian hotel beds and eating only borsch and oily cutlets of unidentifiable meat for 5 weeks. I'm going to chill until the 10th of October and then I'll hit the road again. In the meantime I'll do a deleted scenes video and Q&A to keep things moving. Was a great trip but man I missed my bed. Spasibo bratans!
Well he’s old school as fuck, so being alone doesn’t phase him. He even said in his first appearance on Bald’s channel he never *once* got scared being out in the radiated Forrest alone. I’m sure he drinks so much because that’s his culture and everyone he’s ever been close to has passed, but he’s a champion. Fucking legend
If more people would follow your example of non judgmental acceptance of others the world would be a far better place than it now is. This is TRUE philanthropy. Respect and best wishes from the East Kentucky mountains.
@CallOfDrewthulhu I should put it this way: "I always appreciate a good advise, but ""Do not drink all of your money" - it's just a fairy tale, and we both know it..."
*That was really beautiful you raising all that money for Kolya....but I saw him the day after at the "Babushka Club" with two beauties....the money was well spent 😊😊👍👍*
Everytime I see this man, it makes me incredibly sad. He's lost his family, his friends, his town, and everything that keeps a person connected to society. He's alone in the woods and it's just so sad. In addition he obviously has serious health issues from the radiation. I hope when he passes he doesn't suffer. Bald you are an incredible person for bringing some Joy into this man's life. I'm sure he will remember you for the rest of his life. And for all the trolls that makes fun of this man, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You couldn't walk then steps in this man's shoes
I don't think he is wanting pity, he lives his life his way going from bottle to bottle as he looks incredibly world weary more than anything, a tough breed over there that endured some pretty hard times living hand to mouth during the shortages that plagued the Soviet empire (but strangely not the elite part of Soviet society) then to see it all collapse, no more wages until rising star Putin pulled the country up literally through sheer strength of will and vision and it is a little better these days, more rich people about but the poor are still poor with no visible signs of escape from poverty but they get by best they can.

Very emotional moment watching that poor old shaking man pointing to his family members on the was memorial. I presume he is the only one who keeps it tidy,
In FSU countries, there’s a memorial in every village. Cities have one in every region. Germans killed that many people in their attempt to enslave the world to serve “the master race” of Aryans. An Aryan is not simply, “blue-eyed, blond-haired” as western history books say. An Aryan is an occultic term describing people with high percentage of Nephilim blood.

What I thought was wonderful was the fact - out of respect - he didn't look at the money when receiving it to see how much was there but just thanked Ben.

Just the fact getting a gift is beautiful. However, in Kolias case I hope he not get a hart attach after discovering the amount.
good insight. I could be wrong, but I believe that in Anglo countries, the ritual of gift giving involves a small ritual of refusing the gift, and the "reluctantly" accepting it once the giver insists you take it. In other cultures, or especially with the people who actually really desperately need the gift, they dont partake in the refusal ritual and instead jsut accept the gift with profuse thanks. I.E> "dont look a gift horse in the mouth" as we say in the US.
@@grontelp77 good insight but ive heard in arab countries they refuse the gift 7 times and then take it . i think its 7, its some exact number. Would be amusing to witness.

@Thomas Victorianparalyzed will to change things, this is very soviet indeed, but sad in its own way. People don't care about their lives, have no goals in life, use alcohol as an escape, as if it's gulag and they are doomed while they're not. We are waiting for this mentality to die, only then Russia and other post-soviet countries can be a better place. Times are not changing by themselves, people change them.
9:49 sad to see kolya limping away at the end there knowing thats probably the last human contact he'll have in probably weeks or even months, who knows.
The Rt Hon. Dr. Janos he may like his solitude most of the time. He seems in ill health like he has palsy or something too. Yet he walks all over the place and gets through winter somehow in his little uninsulated home.
He says he's at peace, and I believe him. He's surely used to it and is probably living happily with the little he got, and now he knows there are hundreds of thousands of people who will remember him. Hurts to say it but he's not going to last long anymore, but at least he's getting some fantastic memories to cherish. Bless that fella, and bless Bald
I normally dont comment on videos because I watch a lot of them, but the hug he gives you at the end reminded me of the hugs my dad gives me. Koyla really loves you man and it is so heartwarming to see you doing things like this. Thank You.
Man kolya is the type of guy I would give everything to, a new home, clothes, a night out for some women, just to make that man happy because boy he is probably lonely and bored all the time, and I can relate to that. Bless him and I hope he lives for a long while and will enjoy that money!
Most people in the world are more good than bad. We are all human and merely humans. We are prone to selfishness and greed, among other things. You cannot change someone else's free will, only you as an individual can change your free will. Be the best person you can be.
Can you just imagine how this poor man will never forget what you did for him that day! You make these poor souls proud again! Just by being there and listening to what they have to say.👍 you are very generous brother ! Robert From 🇲🇶🇨🇦
All this reminds me of one grandpa who lived alone with his goat in deserted village in my country. Some TV guy made an episode about his life where old grandpa said he only fears that death will catch him on his every day walk to the barn where he kept his goat, he feared it because wolves would eat his body. So he prayed to god that he die in his bed, next time TV guy came to find that grandpa died and his grandson found him in his bed. Man its sad how some people live, but on the other hand there is always something special about them, Kolya is obviously wise man behind the drunkard appearance.
@@peaceonearth351 so true, i will always support with this old guy hope everyone else does to, poor old fella lets make his life better as much as we can
@Harold Potsdamer True but the bombs dropped there were atomic bombs, not nuclear which would have been worse. There is still and was radioactivity but not to the levels of Chernobyl. The exclusion zone they are in is from Chernobyls reactor leaking radiation, which would be much more concentrated and stronger. I'm not really sure what long term radiation does to a person, I was just kinda being a smart ass in my first comment lol.
you can tell that bald really cares about kolya not because the money or the food from the grocery but because he tried to find him community and friends
Kolya is my favorite person you've met on your travels. It makes me so happy that you keep returning to him with such graces as food and money. I don't know another human being who would do what you did for him. I respect you as a person for whom we should all model ourselves after. Thank you Bald.
I love to see the friendship between you and Kolya and that budding friendship between Kolya and that other guy. You are such a kind man! I salute you, brother! Also, I wish I had bought one of those t-shirts. Kolya should get all the money he can get. Will you come back and give him more money from the t-shirt sale? Ah, and that scene at the war memorial really made me cry. It was my grandfather's generation who did all those horrible things, but still I feel immense sadness when I think about what crimes have been committed in my own country's name. Never again!
@Kyril J I don't feel guilty or responsible for what my forefathers did. You misunderstood me there. What I feel responsible for though is that things like that shall never happen again. As chancellor Willy Brandt, who certainly had his fair share in uniting Europe and making peace between us Germans and the various peoples of Europe, put it:"No war shall ever start again from German soil." European governments may have their differences and their disputes over things, but the peoples of Europe (Russians, Germans, French, Italians, etc.) shall live together in peace.
@@jensmoellenhoff Well said Jens . No war should start from any place. Cooperation is the key. One more thing Kolya would have been born after the fall of Berlin or would have been in his diapers then. So please don't sweat the small stuff. You come from a g8 country that had a g8 past before the wars. You built a history after that. Vasudaiva Kutumbakam 😁
Well said brother, war is just a thing when governments start seeking more power. It's easy for people in power to start a war when they don't actually have to go out and kill/be killed. It's up to us the people to say no to war and the greed of our "rulers".
Mr. Bald, that was so sweet what you did, giving to others who have so little brings the greatest joy in life. I hope you reap the reward many times over for your kindness and generosity.
When you look at this from Kolyas point of view - imagine living a life alone in the woods and suddenly a random Englishman starts showing up bearing vodka and all sorts of stuff and giving you company. Life is so random sometimes and I love it.

At first I thought this was a re-upload to be fully honest. But man did my smile light up when I saw it was new and saw Kolya again!
So cute. Kolya acting like a kid in the shop, you trying to set him up on play dates with the neighbors.
Don't forget to check out my blog for all the behind the scenes stuff and more! lostgopnik.com
Never clicked so fast! Keep up the amazing work bald :)
Mr Bald playing Rust in real life. Bonding people across the radiation zone😂
Watched this while playing rust
S.t.a.l.k.e.r
Rust is life
Charles Dikkema dayz
im crying my eyes out right now. the light you bring to this poor dude's life is amazing
@Thomas Victorianparalyzed will to change things, this is very soviet indeed, but sad in its own way. People don't care about their lives, have no goals in life, use alcohol as an escape, as if it's gulag and they are doomed while they're not. We are waiting for this mentality to die, only then Russia and other post-soviet countries can be a better place. Times are not changing by themselves, people change them.
When Kolia was at the memorial where he had relatives on the wall it made me cry a little
9:49 sad to see kolya limping away at the end there knowing thats probably the last human contact he'll have in probably weeks or even months, who knows.
The Rt Hon. Dr. Janos he may like his solitude most of the time. He seems in ill health like he has palsy or something too. Yet he walks all over the place and gets through winter somehow in his little uninsulated home.
So where does he get the alcohol and food from? He must go to the shop every once in a while..
οὐτόπος then he gets to meet the vendor
He has a new friend now.. the neighbour Mr Bald introduced him to.
Bet he was going to the shop 5 minutes later
It makes me so sad seeing him like that 😭 he seems so alone
He says he's at peace, and I believe him. He's surely used to it and is probably living happily with the little he got, and now he knows there are hundreds of thousands of people who will remember him. Hurts to say it but he's not going to last long anymore, but at least he's getting some fantastic memories to cherish. Bless that fella, and bless Bald
alone, and the market must very far away from his house, long walk..
MrFaktenFaktenFakten - not any more with his new friend
He just met gold digger.
Maybe he is at Chernobly zone?lol
The excitement when you met him again...amazing!
Pretty funny though, that Kolya was wanting a drink right away.
9:37 - "We will meet again"
3 seconds later, gets whacked in the face with a spiky twig
this is the best of content that you can make. awesome job mr. Bald
meeting Bold for Kolya is like for Robinson Crusoe meeting Friday
I'm glad that he's too old to be turned into a slave.
Kolya is loved by thousands and he doesn't even know it.
I rekon he kinda does
Bald told him in one of the pasy vids that millions know him
he doesn't give a rat's ass about youtube hype. He is after real stuff.
I normally dont comment on videos because I watch a lot of them, but the hug he gives you at the end reminded me of the hugs my dad gives me. Koyla really loves you man and it is so heartwarming to see you doing things like this. Thank You.
That was so sweet of you giving him the money ❤️
Really nice, the look of gratitude that he had.
Now he can open his own hotel
@@ivanbregar1646 Ho-Tel? lol
"To be human some time its difficult"
Kolya
ARSLAN AZIZ why u copying comments
Man kolya is the type of guy I would give everything to, a new home, clothes, a night out for some women, just to make that man happy because boy he is probably lonely and bored all the time, and I can relate to that. Bless him and I hope he lives for a long while and will enjoy that money!
There's more like him unfortunately, some are even more worse off.
Any chance you will staying a night at koylas house to see if someone knocks on the door at night?
Its a good thing he didn't answer the door. That knocking was a dogman and opening the door is a sign that you are letting them in.
@@CooterCoy what makes you so positive it's a dogman? especially in Belarus?
Isn't the Dogman from the Michigan's folklore? What would that creature do in Ukraine?
That or the KGB looking to crack some skull
@@luqman.mp3434 im also curius to find out what a dogman is.
Youre a very kind man bald, keep visiting him at least every 3 months or so
Why do you hit me in the feelz? Faith in humanity restored.
Most people in the world are more good than bad. We are all human and merely humans. We are prone to selfishness and greed, among other things. You cannot change someone else's free will, only you as an individual can change your free will. Be the best person you can be.
Orsino7979❤Uup😘...
You took the words right from my mouth.
Can you just imagine how this poor man will never forget what you did for him that day! You make these poor souls proud again! Just by being there and listening to what they have to say.👍 you are very generous brother !
Robert From 🇲🇶🇨🇦
I will choose to watch this channel for hours on ends over any blockbuster movies. This is so surreal. So human.
Oh my favourite bald+vodka+radiation...
Love to see kolya again.
All this reminds me of one grandpa who lived alone with his goat in deserted village in my country. Some TV guy made an episode about his life where old grandpa said he only fears that death will catch him on his every day walk to the barn where he kept his goat, he feared it because wolves would eat his body. So he prayed to god that he die in his bed, next time TV guy came to find that grandpa died and his grandson found him in his bed.
Man its sad how some people live, but on the other hand there is always something special about them, Kolya is obviously wise man behind the drunkard appearance.
Man .... :\
Giving comfort to the dying. What a noble mission in life.
Russell Bell not with those newspaper cigarettes lol
@Russell Bell yeah, this guys gonna live another 20 years haha. I don't think he's older than 65 by much.
We're all on the clock my man. Let's not pretend.
Ha, these replies brought such levity, and I agree OP 🍷💔
Maybe a cherNoble mission in life
I'm from Russia,but even i dont understand what says Kolya
-Were you ever married?
-Yes, she is somewhere in Ukraine..
-Do you miss her?
-NIET ( 2:58 )
I LOLd hard
did you understand what he was saying..he doesnt think about all the bitches he had ...lol
@@teknowil 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marcus Stempa NIEEETTT
Like a boss!
You are a really nice person. Some times the smallest of gestures can have the biggest impact. Thanks for brightening my morning!
so glad you went back, please keep checking on him every 3 or so months
Yeah, he needs someone to check on him. Looking kinda rugged.
@@peaceonearth351 so true, i will always support with this old guy hope everyone else does to, poor old fella lets make his life better as much as we can
@Harold Potsdamer or radiation lol
@Harold Potsdamer True but the bombs dropped there were atomic bombs, not nuclear which would have been worse. There is still and was radioactivity but not to the levels of Chernobyl. The exclusion zone they are in is from Chernobyls reactor leaking radiation, which would be much more concentrated and stronger. I'm not really sure what long term radiation does to a person, I was just kinda being a smart ass in my first comment lol.
why don't you go check on him but tell others to do so if you care so much internet moral high ground guy
you can tell that bald really cares about kolya not because the money or the food from the grocery but because he tried to find him community and friends
Kolya is my favorite person you've met on your travels. It makes me so happy that you keep returning to him with such graces as food and money. I don't know another human being who would do what you did for him. I respect you as a person for whom we should all model ourselves after. Thank you Bald.
It's for content my friend!!
You. Must. Visit him again. Its not about content , but friendship!
Set up something where we could send little bit of money each month I'm betting £20 would go a long way there
Hey I've seen his house in cod modern warfare in all gillied up
Hey brother
Lmao
xD
ur ruddddde 😂😂😂😂😂
Nonce
Kolya is my favorite character you have met yet. I come back to these videos over and over. Thanks Bald for changing this man's life.
Bald why didn't you gave "Kolya's T-Shirt" to him? He for sure would love it!
Intelligent Mastermind kinda Korny. To have a t shirt with your face on it. And every t shirt sold means more
Money ! ;)
I think he’d prefer a Vodka bottle with his face on it 😅
@@RIPSHITnBUST indeed, his liver would not accept all this money
He would probably not understand the concept and why Bald is doing it.
Its probably his ex wife knocking on his window.
But in all seriousness hopefully its just the wind
"Where is my alimony Kolja!"
@@twelvelookslike aergh, not the ghost of his exwife :-o
@οὐτόπος Kolya will be firm, and say No! butt show the place for her bunk :-)
Maybe bald and bankrupt subscribers searching for him
Most likely a Russian big foot
I love to see the friendship between you and Kolya and that budding friendship between Kolya and that other guy. You are such a kind man! I salute you, brother! Also, I wish I had bought one of those t-shirts. Kolya should get all the money he can get. Will you come back and give him more money from the t-shirt sale?
Ah, and that scene at the war memorial really made me cry. It was my grandfather's generation who did all those horrible things, but still I feel immense sadness when I think about what crimes have been committed in my own country's name. Never again!
@Kyril J I don't feel guilty or responsible for what my forefathers did. You misunderstood me there. What I feel responsible for though is that things like that shall never happen again. As chancellor Willy Brandt, who certainly had his fair share in uniting Europe and making peace between us Germans and the various peoples of Europe, put it:"No war shall ever start again from German soil." European governments may have their differences and their disputes over things, but the peoples of Europe (Russians, Germans, French, Italians, etc.) shall live together in peace.
@@jensmoellenhoff our forefathers are forces to kill and serve,
also thumbs up from here in the PH, forgiveness is key.
@@jensmoellenhoff Well said Jens . No war should start from any place. Cooperation is the key. One more thing Kolya would have been born after the fall of Berlin or would have been in his diapers then. So please don't sweat the small stuff. You come from a g8 country that had a g8 past before the wars. You built a history after that. Vasudaiva Kutumbakam 😁
Don't feel responsible for what the generation of your grandfather did. Just act good. Yourself. That's enough.
Well said brother, war is just a thing when governments start seeking more power. It's easy for people in power to start a war when they don't actually have to go out and kill/be killed. It's up to us the people to say no to war and the greed of our "rulers".
Mr. Bald, that was so sweet what you did, giving to others who have so little brings the greatest joy in life. I hope you reap the reward many times over for your kindness and generosity.
Bald if you ever go to see him again take him to the hospital for a check up please.
Muzz Murray
Yes. I'm a nurse and he presents to me as possibly suffering with Parkinson's Disease.
He is too old, let him drink some vodka and have fun
Texlahoma Girl that's what I thought also.
vojvoda draza
He probably wouldn't go anyway. I am glad that he at least has Bald checking on him from time to time.
vojvoda draza I agree let him have fun. But would be good if the the old man had a check up.
You are great person mr Bald, very rare to see person like you,
Bald celebrates 1 million subs by drinking vodka in Chernobyl lol
Hold on
Sausages got those anti theft things in russia?
I will personally fight the next person who knocks on kolya’s door in the night and scares my man again
Knock Knock ...
@@labinthapa5957 Whos there
I personally think its a hallucination because of his Parkinsons, I could be wrong however.

Ooooh, you're hard!
