There is a strong statistical correlation between mental health problems (and we can count alcoholism and addiction as part of that) and homelessness. Of course, we all know that correlation does not mean causation, as well as we can't state if homelessness contributes to mental health problems or vice versa, and to what degree. We can say that there is a definite strong link though. Do you remember "GroundHog Day" the movie where Bill Murray's character tries to save a homeless guy by feeding him, but with each reiteration of that same day the old man dies anyway? So I personally approve of Benjamin giving this street person a beer. Remember this old man in Chernobyl exclusion zone that Ben found and later visited again with some food and obviously alcohol? As well as an old lady too. In Ukraine there is virtually no chance these older folks will get public or private help. Ben can't save them (just like those homeless dogs in Armenia was it -- he did smuggle a kitten from Cuba to Belgium though), so some food and/or a beer is a kind gesture.

Not true. Don't compare Ukraine with Soviet Union. It's two different worlds. Ukraine is like a bad alternative future of Soviet Union- where they used up all Soviet era resource and infrastructure, and not rebuilding or replacing it!

Bald, I saw you at the Holodna Hora metro stations today, but I was too shy to approach you. Sorry you had such a bad experience today! I hope you enjoy our city - we have lots of beautiful mosaics here, the one I particularly like is at 98 Plekhanovskaya street (Плехановская 98) - maybe you will have time to go and check it out tomorrow. P.S. You can pay by a credit card in the metro - all stations should have at least one checkpoint that accepts credit cards.

I've been living in Kharkiv for my whole life and can relate. Most of the people use E-Tickets (you can put whatever banknote you want into their terminals with the exception of 1s and 2s for whatever reason) to avoid the "only 10 UAH" nonsense. The peculiar thing is that every little shop located in the metro station has a sign "No change". You literally have to plan ahead your metro ride, and always be sure, that you have the right banknote on hand if you don't have E-Ticket. There are also a couple of new trains, and they look pretty good, a lot less "soviet". And a relatively new station called "Pobeda" ("Victory Station") looks extremely modern compared to all the other stations. The center of the city actually looks kinda great. The parks and the architecture are beautiful, in my opinion. Be sure to check that out if you are planning to visit Kharkiv again. Anyways, thanks for the video, wasn't really expecting you to film my home city :)

I just discovered this Vlog, and am enjoying it a lot. It's edited well, narrated well, and gives viewers a good sense of what it's like to be there. I know this because I've been to Ukraine several times, and have lived and taught in Russia on two separate occasions. Lots of the places he visits are familiar to me. These vlogs brought back nice memories. That said, I wanted to add this comment to viewers and fans. The wide range of adventures BB takes us to, his ease, comfort, safety, and yes popularity with the ladies :-) rely *extensively* on his Russian fluency. I know this because I also speak Russian reasonably well. Knowing the language means you can get out of the cities, explore the tiny villages in the provinces, visit abandoned Soviet sites, hang out in bars, get lodging at the last minute, hop on trains when you like, take cabs and not get ripped off, easily make friends with strangers, etc. All that is *much* easier than it would be for non-Russian speakers. I've done all these things, but I was confident doing them only because I knew the language. If you don't have a decent comfort level with Russian, I strongly suggest you stay in the big cities like Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev, and maybe Odessa. Without Russian fluency your experience will be, in my opinion, much more complicated and risky. Also, stay away from Ukraine right now for obvious reasons :-). I lived and taught in Russia in 2001 and 2009. I went to Ukraine several times between 2010 and 2014 to date and find a wife (we were married in 2014). This is an excellent vlog, many thanks to you sir! --BF

The wide range of adventures BB takes us to, his ease, comfort, safety, and yes popularity with the ladies :-) rely *extensively* on his Russian fluency. I know this because I also speak Russian reasonably well. Knowing the language means you can get out of the cities, explore the tiny villages in the provinces, visit abandoned Soviet sites, hang out in bars, get lodging at the last minute, hop on trains when you like, take cabs and not get ripped off, easily make friends with strangers, etc. All that is *much* easier than it would be for non-Russian speakers. I've done all these things, but I was confident doing them only because I knew the language.
If you don't have a decent comfort level with Russian, I strongly suggest you stay in the big cities like Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev, and maybe Odessa. Without Russian fluency your experience will be, in my opinion, much more complicated and risky. Also, stay away from Ukraine right now for obvious reasons :-).
I lived and taught in Russia in 2001 and 2009. I went to Ukraine several times between 2010 and 2014 to date and find a wife (we were married in 2014). This is an excellent vlog, many thanks to you sir! --BF
Giving that beer to a bomj is a real bloke's move!
What ist a bomj?
бомж "bomj" - bum (homeless) in Russian
@@Tvensky86 thank you very much
@Gene Cox
He was a bum.
Get real and get over yourself.
Woke nutjob.
@Gene Cox His beard was unkempt and his clothes disheveled, calm your tits.
Интересно кому еще кроме нас харьковчан интересен метромост?
respect dude! sometimes when you're not feeling it, it's better to reconsider and stop, rather than try hard when you're not feeling like it
This is genuinely one of the most entertaining channels on TH-cam, thank you Benjamin for hunting for soviet aesthetics and dodging babushkas.
Benjamin was so excited to get the notification and I clicked so fast Love your videos
That was the least grand entrance to a terminal of travel I’ve ever seen.
Its not train. It is elektrichka ))
Most of the entrances to the metro in kharkiv are like that, the magic is when you get past the turnstiles
Тоже сталкивался с проблемой оплаты проезда в метро ... глядя на это видео можно понять как мы глубоко .
Так вот какая Европа , кто то кричал ,, прощай немытая Россия,,
@Ivan Petrov ВЫ ЖЕ УКРАИНЦЫ, причем тут русский мир🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ivan Petrov да уже и не станет походу
Что оно делает у меня в рекомендациях? ладно. мужик класс
I went to Kharkiv when Everton FC played Metalist Kharkiv in the uefa cup in 2007, all’s I remember is the beautiful women and beer 😂 greetings from Liverpool UK
Ay Ay Ay calm down
@@snowboardingraptor7005 Shut up Brookside!
@@keithdonnellan5564 im in liverpool, small town la
@@paul2062 tbh best city in the u.k by far!
@@snowboardingraptor7005 is fucking right!
Mask - get the F off, realises he’s getting angry “looks towards stairs” look at those lovely stairs haha. God I love this guy!! Haha
And they were literally the ugliest stairs I've ever seen...
Some non paid worker built em here, so they are lovely
For a video that you "aborted", you discovered some fantastic Metro Cars with the original lights (I've only ever been on one, in Budapest), and a wonderful bus station. Great discoveries - in a city that I will visit, from London, by rail, when lockdown ends.
Hope your well baldy, Keep your chin up! Always look forward to seeing you!
Bald showed donbass couple of days ago, today Italian newspaper are making an article about the forgotten war in Ukraine donbass. What a celebrity vlogger, what a legend.
@ sadly not, but mass media aren't famous to give credit to third parts...
iam glad you enjoyed our beer.
SHOES, Mr. Ben never learns!
He thinks he's back in summer Brighton.
It wouldn't be as fun if he had proper footwear and I think he agrees.
You can pay with a Mastercard or your phone's NFС for travel in the metro, (turnstiles it is blue) has this terminal at each station. I don't understand what the problem is.
Looking on the metro station of other countries and big cities like NY, Paris.., Kharkiv metro looks much more cleaner.
Word of the day “Crikey”. (Things not going well)
Tomorrow “Wowzers”. (Things are going well)
Mr Bald says "Thank you" to the ticket machine !!!
North east England’s metro system doesn’t have a ticket office either lol
KHARKIV!!!! YESSSS THIS IS MY HOMETOWN!!!! If you're looking for an old village to go to, pivdenne is where I was raised. They have tried modernizing it recently but there are toooooooons of run down structures and nice people
Not Galitsian "pivdenne", the correct RUS name is Yuzhnoye.
@@yedinaya_rus Who cares about that language?
There're two idiots above
@@шахмата-и8г apparently Bald does since he always insists on speaking Russian and not your artificial sub-dialect you call a "mova"
@@yedinaya_rus If she was raised there I think she will probably know the correct name
This looked like a fetch quest straight out of an RPG.
stalker call of bald and bankrupt
You are a true gentleman. The guy you gave a beer to made his day and would make you a friend wherever you go. I love your videos and wish I could speak all those different languages. Great travels and god bless.
So many of these towns have now been reduced to rubble 😥
Bald: "I'm taking my hands in my... life, today, for you guys"
Us guys: "k tnx"
That beer is better than I thought
@@JasonStevens Haha, a bargain
This is the most human thing I’ve seen from a TH-camr.
Everyone has those days, sometimes you just need some alone time, except I want that alone time pretty much everyday.
0:56 we love you too! Greetings from Czechia
*well, I don't know why is he talking to a beer*
You're so funny, I so enjoy your contributions. Thank you.
This subway is a palace compared to good ol’ nyc
hang in there bud, we've all had days gone wrong. May tomorrow's adventure go better. Love your vids!
"I'm taking my hands in my life..."
That must have been a strong beer.
Send you much love and compassion man. Also, I actually love the honesty.
"Taking my hands in my life for you guys"
I laughed too much at this subconscious switcharoo
LOL, every Czech watching this will get triggered by the notion, that Staropramen (of all options) should be the best Czech beer 🤣
Let me leave another comment right away!
@English Ant Even that could be a controversial opinion, though not as controversial as Staropramen. 😅
@English Ant One of the better ways to spend money, if you ask me 🍺
I believe it's a local product. It's like we have imported Budweiser but local Bud Light here in U.S.
@@wonigu The seppo "budweiser" is unrelated to the Czech one and is an unlicensed copy by another company.
You know, outside of the currency issue, that metro was just fine and it appeared to be clean.

Best channel on TH-cam!
bald going to dangerous towns: meh
bald vs metro babushkas: my life might be at risk today
Future video: Bald goes shopping for some boots.
Good decision Mr. Bald. It makes no sense to force yourself into something.
Nowadays most content creators tend to keep on going no matter what.
BTW im glad you and Haraldo Baldr are back entertaining us once again. The only 2 "Vloggers" I subscribed.
