- 🇧🇾 Two months ago on a cold morning I headed into the radioactive Chernobyl forests north of the Belarusian town of Vetka. Now I was back to re-trace the people who had invited me into their home and generously shared their food with me. But this time I was bringing shopping...

Axes are way more common in eastern europe especially in more rural areas most households have an axe or a couple
also got fresh eggs from a radiated part of chernobyl. wow

She's no doubt experienced far more stranger things in her days.

Hahaha fuck! So true
LMAO TRUE AF
Right! And you better eat lol
😂😂😂 Factual !
Lol, the first thing most often happening upon entering the home of my own grandma was exactly that.
It's 2022, I really hope this babushka is still going strong and healthy! ❤️
same she reminds me of my babushka
She really reminded me of my grandma when she yelled at the guy “sit down no more standing up”!
I laughed pretty hard

Salut from another romanian😉
ca si romanca, pot aprecia faptul ca ai spus asta, bunicutele/strabunicile noastre mereu au fost iubitoare si ne hraneau cu ce aveau ele mai bun si mai natural, noi si slavii, cum ai spus si tu avem multe in comun si ar trebui sa ne mandrim❤️

It’s so strange to watch this and realize that these people will most likely never know how far their stories have reached across the globe.
Let that be a lesson for the good deeds you do on this earth, we never know how far and how many people can be positively affected by it
And how they are in a sense immortalized and can continue to tell their story forevermore

Just imagine your a simple belarusian living in a rural area, barely see any people, busy with your daily shenanigans on a beautiful warm and sunny day, and suddenly out of swamp comes tall bald man with a raincoat, an axe and bag full of vodka and starts asking you question with a funny accent. Whos the maniac?

"Sit down, I dont like it when you stand!"
I had tears in my eyes when I heard that line. My late nana always said that to us. Whoever comes in the house, has to sit down, have a cup of tea, eat a little and then be on their ways. Nobody comes in my nanas house and leaves in haste. She even hated if we talked on the doorstep. "Come inside, have a sip of water and talk what you have to over a tea". Comfort and pampering was sorr of forced upon you when you were in her presence. I suppose it's quite common thousands of miles away with babushkas too. For a second I saw my nana in her.
Are you from balkan
Now I cried
Lovely comment and a pleasure to read. Thank you for posting it.
Yea Man i caught this line as well as you .despite of my grandma spoke with me in Belarusian just like this babuska. It doesn’t matter what is your languages you just feel the emotions. And remembering. Reading your comment I’ve remembered how my mom asked me get a bike and go to a pharm to by some things for grandma. I bought. Jumped on the bike and my mom calls me and says “no needed already “
She has many grandchildren
What a dear old lady, strange to think she'll never know how many hearts she warmed!
Probably has never even used the internet crazy to think
I thought Bankrupt would bring her a bucket ?

Ok, i will rob from Western Australia 😀
So true
Hey Rob. I'm also from WA and I happen to know someone with your last name. What's up bro?
No matter the skin color, nationality, religion and so on.. EVERY grandma forces you to eat and gives food with you when you leave. I love it.
A babuska is a babuska and they are caring, no matter where she is from
By the way I would want my sandwich back, please. Babuska made it for me
Old people.
A MA ZING!!! I always thought these grandma personality was about my italian nonnas and german omas... but MAN, babushkas give them a ride
Right
I'm so deeply touched. This is what being human is all about.

Exactly what dialect is she speaking ? And, is it confined to elderly people in eastern Belarus ? Or do younger citizens also use it ?
@@matthewwhitton5720 It's mix of Bielarussian and Ukrainian languages.
That's next-level interesting, thank you very much for clearing that up! At first, in the video's translation, one could interpret that she referred to her son as "Papa", given the context, and a sinister train of thought blew its horn as it arrived at the station.
She didn’t have nothing for herself but still gave him everything

Don't forget the "Sit down! I don't like when you stand!" Always sit properly and eat everything in grandma house, those are rules.
"3 is enough for me!..."

Quiet at home you will eat them!
Hahahaha
In general eastern european rules xD... My family is fron ex jugoslavia and they are the exact same... When i stop eating they ask my dad whether im sick xDDD
same mentality here in Italy, can confirm!
What a sweet woman. Bless you for going back.
Yeah man, Grandmas were and will be the best (even if shes not your grandy)
Only 2 little bags?! You big spender.
The hard times and famines that lady has been through and she just pours food into a stranger's hands. That's a good lady.

That's how the world used to be. Now it's just "YOU DO YOU"
''SIT DOWN! I DON'T LIKE WHEN YOU STAND''. LOL
I believe that no man has the balls to say no to this old woman.
Except when she pours you soup
in Russian culture standing while eating is equivalent to walking under a ladder, cracking a mirror or a cat running across your path and most old people in Russia are extremely religious, so that's why the old lady was so mad.
Greeting from Bulgaria man Wow when the babushka said "мой детьонок" my heart melt , it reminds me of my grandma....😢
You should bring polaroid camera and take a picture with them so they can have a photo with you
Tong Eats really good idea
Superb idea!
@@RavelPreet I second it, especially those who have dementia in the exclusion zone, he could write a note in Russian detailing who he is, when the visit was, so at least they'd know and remember the sweet man who showed up brought groceries and have a good moment in the terrible environment of the exclusion zone.
Defo

Not gonna lie, her hospitality and gratitude got me teary eyed. Bald is just a great human being.

May God bless and save them all .

She never lets the women leave the houses either lmao
Loved this. This is the real deal, people who are poor have the biggest hearts. She will be talking about this all summer.
What i thought as well old people are not that much different all round the world are they its there leaders who should be ashamed of what they get up to
People with big hearts are poor because they are so giving.
@@yesmelud4846 What Ive noticed is that this is common sense. It's usually the countries with the biggest crimes whose people follow them blindly due to stronger manipulation. Most aggressive countries have the most patriotic people. By that I mean people who are not suspicious of the government, not people who are just proud of their culture. And it's these people who judge others the most. My point is, that if you have such negative views of people, maybe you are the most aggressive one of them all. Most people can separate government from civilians.

This Babushka has a heart of gold ❤️ so lovely and genuine, reminds me of my babushka who’s now gone 😢
Bald didn't bring goodies, he brought humanity.
👌
Just think about this babuska. She lived through all the soviet hell, then the WW2 came, then some more soviet hell, then Chernobyl explosion, then bloody 90s after Soviet Union collapsed. She felt so much pain in her life but her soul is clear as crystal. And some of us complaining and thinking our lives are miserable when we cannot afford an ipad. She is 92 and she is cooking, cleaning, taking care of animals. I am inspired by this person. Thank you for the content.
I wouldn't write it better 👍

Crazy but remember she is culturally different and age difference helps too
I balled my eyes out seeing her this strong women so peaceful and kind even after all she's been theought, idky I'm crying

I think being an old grandmother triggers something universal in the DNA. They are all the same. "Come in, sit down, eat eat eat, take this home, hugs and kisses, please come back to visit". Its like I was setting with my own grandmother 💕
David S For sure, my grandmother is the same. I come to visit and I leave with a full stomach. Of course some freshly baked bread and cakes to take home. Grandparents are a treasure.

It might seem to be a life in isolation. But the communities and bonds are very strong in such places. One can live in a big city and really live a life in isolation.

Tears just dropping down. I'm Estonian-Russian. I know that village feeling. Grandmother makes wonderful food, relatives sitting around the table, some dog barking outside, guitar playing, toasts all night, vodka comes in easily and amazing fresh air comes from outside. What a life! Respect!
I can feel the vibe and I love to live in a countryside where its calm and quiet enjoying the life with couple of friends playing guitar when evening comes eat grandma's eggs haha

We could learn a lesson from this woman, look at how empty her fridge was, look how graciously she gave.
That is what love is, and that is beautiful.
sometimes the ones with the least share the most
I wonder if her fridge was empty because she doesn't have prepared food. If she wants eggs she goes to the chicken coop if she wants meat she kills it if she wants fruit she picks it

It's so lovely to see the warmth and hospitality from your home country in this video. I'm from NZ and I hope you're able to feel at home there too. I'm currently living in Europe and for the first time I'm really understanding just how young the culture in NZ is, even the Maori haven't been there that long really. The village life, the centuries of depending on your neighbours etc just isn't there, especially for Pakeha. Visiting the countries of my ancestors has been weird, I have no way of knowing which towns and villages they lived in, all that got lost on the boats. You don't notice it as much when you're in the middle of it, but NZ culture and history is definitely still under construction. I didn't mean to hijack your post but it gave me some good food for thought! All the best in NZ 😊
13:10 "Oh my beloved child" 15:56 "Because you traveled and came to me. My God!" 16:02 "because I think that, you as a stranger to me, still came and... thank you my child!" 17:03 "They shot artillery shells over to our village. Some hit, but others didn't."
Thank you!

@@BarrettKillz Free at last!
Bald.. after watching every one off your videos 10 times I wanna say this is by far what has hit me the most.. a son and his mom living together in a radioactive zone. I know you are currently in east Asia but please promise me something... that you will go visit this amazing family this upcoming year.... from the bottom of my heart thank you! (PS seeing you get banned from Russia was probably the hardest I had to go this year and especially harder if it was the same town where my dad and my moms mom are from, i am sorry!)
i second this...
He has been banned from Belarus for a while now, so I don’t think that it’s gonna happen, as much as I wish it would
@@Sniperboy5551 why?
@@Sniperboy5551 why Belarus too?
@@MrC00kieM0nst3r It sounds like the government reached out to him wanting him to make essentially propaganda films for the state and he refused.
Man: *pats the cat* Don't be afraid.
Cat: *tries to run away*
Man: *holds the cat* Don't be afraid I said!
ThornySnailPictures I thought that was so bizarre 🤣🤣
@@ItsMeChrisB23 why? He sees that his cat is afraid and tries to stop it from being afraid. Sometimes people and animals need this type of interaction without too much speaking, just the touch. You can't explain everything with words, especially to animals
The cat doesn't speak Belarus, he wandered in from Ukraine.
ThornySnailPictures hehe cats don't know english
@@afrosheenix damn, should've used that explanation
Everybody gangsta till grandmother says Eat!

This is better than the Travel Channel
Anything is better than the biased media which "travel channel" is part of
Strongly strongly agree
Most sources of information are best told from people outside huge corporations
Definitely. The Travel Channel is all fluff and ghost bullshit these days. This is pure and truthful in comparison obviously.
Travel channel used to be good, but that was years before agendas controlled media
My great respect to Grandma . I am fond of their generosity .
Haha you thought the babushka would let you leave with only 3 eggs? NO, here's 30 more!
This babushka has more value as a human being than one million rich people.God bless her.What a beautiful soul.
The wheat among the weeds.
I appreciate the sentiment, but there are kind rich people. They're people too, just more hard working and clever.
Катя Ятак That’s not remotely true.
@@MadJackChurchill1312 yes it is. Don't generalize, that's the slippery slope to becoming a shitocrat
Really? Based on what? 230 people agree with your insane hyperbole.
"Three is enough"
-"Quiet!! At home you will eat them" 😂😂

Glad to see grandma's will still make sure you are well fed wherever you are in the world
Belarussian and Indian grannies have something in common after all 😊
Хочу, помимо всего прочего, особенно поблагодарить Бенджамина за то, что он всегда уделяет внимание в своих репортажах памятникам погибшим в Отечественной войне. Он всегда показывает фамилии павших, обращает внимание на какие то особенности- такие вот как в этом видео- список одинаковых фамилий. Спасибо, Бенджамин! Никто не забыт! Ничто не забыто!
Who liked before watching? And thank you for visiting and showing an unbiased view of my country.⚪🔴⚪ the small and proud republic of Belarus
haha, even commented before watching,that's how excited I am!
my grandfather is from belarus and hes proud belarus love belarus im estonian my grandfather is belarus
@StarzBornFromLightning TH-cam Channel You should be proud of your country! Unlike us from former Yugoslavia we have destroyed most of our communist heritage. I can say personally I'm not for communism but I'm all for respecting and remembering our past, what ever it may be. I hope one day to visit Belarus. Greetings from a Serbian.
@@abc-eq9so Thank you I'm too not for communism but I believe we should remember our past and history rather than destroy it. Respect to Serbs
@@eliffi6426 Yep you should be proud he was from Belarus
Top babushka quotes:
"DOES HE NOT KNOW WHAT AN EGG IS?"
"I WILL NOT DRINK BECAUSE I AM A BABUSHKA"
"SIT DOWN!
I DONT LIKE IT WHEN YOU STAND!"
YAAAASSSSS! 🤣🤣🤣
Omg i laughed sooooo hard at tha5 last part
When she shouted at neighbor.. It was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
My favorite was Bllrrrggghghhh
He probably falls a lot. Or he's always I her way haha
The best line in the video, "SIT DOWN! I don't like it when you stand!!" Immediately obeyed.
A very close second, "QUIET! You will eat them!!".
lukespread If you refuse you get hit with the wooden spoon, I know from experience.
@@TheSeanoops You get hit with the wooden spoon if you are lucky, sometimes saucepans are used instead.
lukespread Not necessarily, according to my Father, you get hit with sauce spans if you come home drunk at 3am without calling. Not listening is more of a wooden spoon to the knuckles offense.
For some reason it's more funny in Russian....she says it so angrily, like a true Russian baba.
Reminds me so much of my grandma. I am lucky to still have her. She's turning 87 this year and still keeps inviting me over for lunch and sends me off with leftovers.
I'm sure my words will get lost in the loads of comments but I absolutely loved this video Mr. Bald. My family left the pale settlement of Pinsk Belarus and fled to Canada and then the US long ago but I am so happy to see someone visiting Belarus and doing kind deeds for someone's baba. Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and many other areas of eastern Europe/western Russia have seen a century of war and sadness. Your series has been wonderful to follow and I just had to comment on this video because this was such a great heart warming episode. Like a bald and bankrupt little red riding hood you went risking life and limb "over the swamp and through the woods to babushka's house you went!" I'm happy you didn't get eaten by a wolves, cheers.
What an idea. Bald as Little red riding hood ;) Brilliant, in deed
You’re totally right to point out the Riding Hood story! Thanks for mentioning Ukraine.
@Pasquale BorisThis Was back in early 1900s my grandpa and his family emigrated from Pinsk area to Winnipeg Manitoba area and then my grandfather to the Twin Cities Minnesota area shortly after the depression for more work. Most of my extended family didn't make it out of now Belarus and those that stayed were pretty much all killed in the genocide. Sadly I don't know much about that side of the family.
@IBrainedMyDamage I didnt, my grandpa did back in the early 1900s lots of people emigrated to Canada because it was easier to get granted asylum. My grandpa moved to the US towards the end of the depression more work opportunities.
My father is also from the Pinsk area). If you visit it once, I could be your companion
im agree that "Eat, Eat, Eat!", "Quite, bring that home", Sit, i dont like when you standing!" is the grandma language i love.
Dude, it's really the grandma's language in all the world
Universal Grandma Language
The grandma language we all love!
Lol babushka is wonderful, “SIT DOWN! I don’t like it when you stand!” I love her
I can understand her, he is like a giant for her
StuhlDefekt yea I love her I had to rewind it and watch again because it was so funny.
And he obeyed her lol I love how shes so sweet and shows tough love. Shes like a woman who is a mother to everyone and I think that's a great trait to have:)
@@maxSVB ich versteh sie auch nich aber laut den Untertiteln scheint sie sehr nett zu sein (;
@@lukasmuller9633 nicht dieses verstehen
What a fantastic woman.. she's been through much and appreciative to the max. Fantastic..
She offered you everything she had-eggs. Dude, she probably talks about you daily. This is just so adorable.
Walk into the strongest radiation zone in the world like 15 km,just to return a favor, what a legend , i can tell ure one of the most kind people in the world
Why do u think people in Europe have iodine in the table salt for.
B&B brought such happiness into grandma's day, so gentle with her, gave her a lovely memory of being treated to special foods. He's a hero!
@@Diabolus1978 ionized salt has been a staple since the 1900s. It's well known to be used to avoid iodine deficiency. It is not to be used against radiation fallout nor will it help protect the thyroid.
Babushka - "i do not drink."
10 seconds later we see babushka taking shots
Its a way of showing respect
Al Castill once you start you cant stop , and if you start missing shots its disrespectful unless you have a good reason behind it
As an African she reminds me of my tribal grandma. Same exact values. Never let a stranger leave your home hungry
This is the best video of giving someone something.
not like those "gifting my father his dream car" or "surprising my mom with a gift"
Precisely. I think the other videos fall short because the gifts are usually items they don't really need, those people already have everything, but they don't realise it. Babushka has nothing, and you can see how much this means to her. Selfless acts of human kindness like this are truly beautiful.
@@j0bey1 I absolutely agree with you...

Surprising barbushka with Wodka
My Polish family is like this. Whenever we would visit, they always insist that we sit and eat. Eastern Europeans are gracious people. Proud of my Slavic heritage! 🇵🇱 -Stephen, Ohio U.S.A.
Proud to have a Polish step family. Great people!
sorry, but Polish flag looks other ;)
Buckeye Bushcrafter you have here wrong flag, it’s not Poland, white on top and red on bottom
Buckeye Bushcrafter I hate to be that dick head, but that’s not the Polish flag 🇵🇱 . The Poles are a great race, I personally hold them in high regard and I’ve been everywhere in Europe. Plus Polish women are seriously beautiful, my ex is Polish.

Even tho she didnt have much she still give bald like 30+ eggs 😢,such an amazing person

“I cannot drink because I’m grandmother”.....KEEPS DRINKING 🤣
that was just sipping, to get mildy drunk they probably need 10 shots, tolerance built up over their whole lives drinking vodka
:v
Grannies are allowed to be slightly hypocritical.
THATS BABUSHKA FOR YOU СУКА!
That's what my grandad says, then its 2 drinks later and he's asleep in his chair
'sit down i dont like it when you stand!' this had me crying with laughter!
Hahah same
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its strange but some of peoples in lt also say that like thay mad that you are guest and standing
Funny enough, the man listens to babushka as if a child.
Grandma is always like this...😜😂😂
12:27 "Я бачу, уродзе угадала" means "I think I probably recognized you"
14:07 she meant the brick oven (печь), not pepper )))
16:02 "I can tell I recognized you; a stranger wouldn't come to me"
16:46 "They set these lands on fire"
12:34 "Заходце у хату" - Come into the house
12:54 "Чаго это я не помню?" - why I don't remember
13:46 Man said: "Хватит того для его" - it's enough for him
13:50 "Нет, ну это не красиво" - but it's not good (she wants to be hospitable)
