I hope you make it! It's really a great place. Natural beauty, a lot of things to do both in nature and cities, great food and really nice people. Hvala za gledanje :)
Yeah, that wasn't Tito, you'd have a chance finding his memorabilia on the Flea market or museums, though. I used to drink endless amounts of Jupi and Cockta as an 80s Yugoslavia's child, my dad used to work in the company that produced them and took me to work sometimes:) It's long gone now. I like this content, it's efortlessly educative and also creative (Y) Some false information, but all in all good.
I don’t think Russian or Soviet army fought in Slovenia. They were north of Slovenia in Hungary and eastern Austria. During WW1 there was a large group of Russian POW in Slovenia.
Well, "English" is not very inclusive name of a language either. "Serbo-Croatian" is a proper name, and it obviously doesn't mean that only Serbia and Croatia use it. Balkan folks get unnecessarily defensive by this naming nonsense. I especially love how they would even scold foreigners for trying to speak the language, if they make a tiny mistake in usage of whatever the local dialect supposed to be.
Nothing bad about that don't take in a wrong way i am just curious about your experience in USA travels , i am asking this because I lived in US for over 25 years.
@@BenTheRules There were Socialistic Republic of Slovenia (part of Yugoslavia), Kingdom SHS (Serbs, Croats, Slovenes), Kingdom of Yugoslavia and there was State of SHS (Slovenes, Croats, Serbs) before that. In middle ages there were oaths (in all the Slovenian lands) and enthroning of dukes of Carinthia in Slovenian, Principality of Carantania, Principalities of Lower Pannonia and Balaton, propable Principality of Carniola. The word Slovenes is first knowingly used in 1548, before that ancestors of Slovenes were using other names.
Jaywalking of course does exist and it is not so rare (especially on side streets), but you can get a fine. However traffic laws are there for a reason.
@@valentintapata2268 Yes, I didn't mean to say Slovenia never existed. But 1991 is when Slovenia became a fully independent, sovereign nation not a part of another country or empire, at least since the Middle Ages.
@@valentintapata2268 Hahaha, of course it's best to follow the rules 😉 It was just strange to me, even when no cars were coming people weren't walking. Thanks for your comments :)
One thing is that you struck me like American person that has not explored USA places like you have interest in exploring the part of Europe where some of your best friends migrated from to Utica, NY??
Basically ok, but a lot of wrong information. It was not Tito's monument but Edvard Kardelj's. The Russians were not in Slovenia during World War II. Here you Americans always generalize Yugoslavia with the Eastern Warsaw Pact and the former Soviet Union. in which Yugoslavia has never been. Yugoslavia was an independent socialist and non-aligned country. Not communist but socialist. And this socialism was different from Soviet and Warsaw Pact socialism. We had self-governing socialism. There was more democracy here than you will ever see in your own country. He just didn't succeed economically, even though he had all the possibilities, and that's because the human consciousness is not yet at such a level that it would actually come true. Even the Swedes at that time studied such a state arrangement, because it was close to them. In 1948, Tito said no to Stalin and refused to follow his path. The Western Pact saw an opportunity here and wanted to get Yugoslavia on its side, but Tito didn't want to go there either (this is how the idea of non-aligned countries was born, whose membership and organization numbered over 100 countries, most of which were not socialist and were the opposite of Western and Eastern Pact). This is a big difference between other socialisms. Here Americans are generalizing again. Communism only existed as an ultimate idea. You label every country that is not capitalist as communist, that's how you were taught. Communism never really existed at all, only various forms of socialism. But there were communist parties and their members, sympathizers, etc. but not as a state regulation. Be more specific before you record something and post it. The non-aligned movement later fell apart due to Fidel Castro, who was influenced by the Soviet Union and wanted to bring the other members there under this influence. Here, too, Tito objected and left the Congress of the Non-Aligned in Havana. After the breakup, many countries came back under Western influence as they had been in the era of colonialism. Which are still resources for the exploitation and enrichment of the West today. Which, if they resist them, are immediately accused of non-democracy, totalitarianism and terrorism. As seen in Iraq, North and Central Africa, South and Central America Indochina, etc. When Tito died, Serbia with Milosevic at the helm saw an opportunity to expand and bring everyone else under its influence. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia resisted this. Since Milosevic saw that he would not succeed, he tried by force and lost. The remnants of such a policy are still visible today in the newly formed countries. Most through Serbian and Croatian nationalism. Otherwise, you also passed through Jesenice, past the house where I was born and the house where I am now. I used to live in the street named after him. Ha ha The best burger in town. No. Otherwise, it's commendable how you try to speak languages.
It was literally AND officially a Communist country (Yugoslavia, that is). The Communist Party was in control. It wasn't the Soviet (or Warsaw Pact) style of hardcore Communism that Slovenia experienced, sure, but it nevertheless was a part of a Communist country. Just because the Communist ideology wasn't fully implemented it doesn't mean that the government wasn't in fact Communist. One could say the same about almost any country conventionally understood to be Communist, including the PRC, North Korea, and indeed Soviet Union. Totalitarian ideologies rarely get fully implemented, and as in the Animal Farm, they often come to resemble the monsters that they purport to be fighting against.
Super video TY
One of my favorite cities! Thanks!
It’s a such a nice place! I can’t wait to go back

I hope you make it! It's really a great place. Natural beauty, a lot of things to do both in nature and cities, great food and really nice people. Hvala za gledanje :)

You should have been looking for “Cockta” drink. That’s way more famous Slovenian soda pop.
Nice words, but the nation is much older than that.
Edit: Nebotičnik was built in 1933, in times of Yugoslavia, it's in neoclasical and art deco style
In a cultural sense, of course it is much older. I’m only referring to the political sense

I believe the Ljubljanans already tapped out (spiritually) long before they formally seceded
What makes you say that

It was financed by the west, and only lasted as long as it did because of that. Self-governance of workers is nonsense.
That russian monument was visited by putin in 2016
sorry this guy is not a TITO it is another commi named edvard kardelj
Drug Kardelj, don't call them "commi"
