Loving this new covid Ukraine series!
What are they scanning in your arms?
Taking tempertures @@cyh4031
You have a chip in your arm?
@@alissaswofford4554 I think they were taking his temperature because of covid.
So I just discovered Peters videos on Ukraine in January 2023, and I have to say its soo bittersweet watching these recent documentaries of such a peaceful, chill, free-spirited place like Kiyv, knowing its now been in full-fledge war for almost a year and some of the places Peter is showing are now probably rubble and ashes... the most tragic moment was when his friend said Kiyiv is the safest place in the world, that literally broke my heart.
It's damn sad, I grew up there until I was 5 and just want to go back sometimes
Thank you for raising such an important historical topic as Holodomor in tourist-intertainment video!
Yes, i knew nothing about it. Now, i'm learning what hapened. Weird we are so many ignoring everything about holodomor. When i was a kid, i was interesting in geopolitic and i wanted to know all recents wars (trying to understand) but i never heard about holodomor !
@@melissandeGM Not knowing is not a sin, a sin is not knowing and don't want to know.
We also thought that in our civilized 21-st century genocides such as Holodomor could not happen. Now we had ruZzian invasion in Ukraine with hundreds of thousands civilians dead, mass deportations, kidnapping, mobile crematoriums, etc.
@@oleksandrzubchenko210 💔 heartbreaking. I think about all children and parents away from each other. And they (and i) can do nothing about it. That's so painfull.
Hope you take care as you can, hope people don't forget to love anything they can when it's so difficult 🙏 inner strength and courage come with love (le courage, c'est le coeur à l'ouvrage)
@@melissandeGM Thank you very much for your kind words and support! Without help from all of you, People of Good Will from all over the world, we could not have stand. Yes, the war is hard here, but we shall never surrender, we shall go on to the victory!
Thanks again and God bless you and your family!
they had Chernobyl disaster, stalin, revolts/war, economic collapses, and more. this coronavirus pandemic is just common cold to them.
Crime anexoin and war with russia
@@user-po7le5ds4k Crimea annexation .
@@beautifulbutterfly5578 yeah
Actually thank for “uncle Stalin” Ukraine is so big, it’s a gift from Stalin. Original Ukrainian people are around Kiev and west part of Ukraine, rest of the country it’s mix of other soviet people’s. In my opinion that gift from Stalin became as disaster for independent of Ukraine. If Ukraine was smaller and was a home for one nation (not what is nowadays, I read somewhere that 50% of population of Ukraine are people from others soviet countries) they might be in better place as they are now . Anyway all the bet for my Ukrainians brother’s ❤️
@@adski5005 sorry to correcting you. But modern Ukrainian language has its roots from Eneida by Kotlyarevskiy, a funny humorous story resembling The Aeneid of Virgil. Kotlyarevskiy is from far Eastern Ukraine. Horlivka under occupation was purely inhabited by Proper Ukrainians with no ru mix. Lugansk villages speak Ukrainian up to this time. Soviets mix it, but Ukrainians were and are there in majority but they repressed all businesses and starved normal people, and brought russians and gadabouts joined them claiming there love for ru. It's the story. As sad as it could be
Ukraine seems like the country of tough men, beautiful women, and common sense. I really want to visit.
not everything is rosy, but come
I’m wondering why do you think there is plenty of common sense here?
Богдан Ковальчук They can see how the real world is, especially america. They can see the manipulation and lies by the media pushing this feel good PC shot
Well said, lol
@@berkerrang4149 I wish this was true, apparently our people can't tell television from reality so they chose a comedian for president😭
Ivan saying Ukraine is safe a couple years ago during covid. Crazy how much it's changed. I hope Ivan is safe.
Holodomor, beach impressions, gym areas, food corners etc. That's Ukraine - all in one. 20th century horror, present life and belief in the future - in very contrast to West- and Central Europe. That's one reason I like this country - still an imperfect one but full of surprises. I miss Kyiv too.
Great way of saying it Fritz!
@Meister Floh Anyone who writes like this reveals that he does not know the country. But it's never too late.
What happened in Ireland is similar to what happened in Ukraine.
When people are purposefully starved to death it should not be called a famine
but should be called an attempted genocide.
BTW communism always kills off societies' best genetic stock
making it easier to manipulate.
So sad
Exactly. Genocide.
exactly. Now we elected a comedian to rule our army in a war.
Hmm I’m sure certain ethnic groups might not want to be dethroned from their victim status
Calling Holodomor "famine" was a little mistake from Ivan, cause here, in Ukraine, we are always calling it genocide. And years after, today (thanks to Ukrainian diaspora, historicals & politicans), many countries considers the Holodomor as a genocide.
It is wrong to say that Ukrainians like to suffer. We as a nation had a tough fate, huge numbers of lives were destroyed. This cannot be forgotten, even if we wanted to. This cannot simply disappear from people's consciousness. So suffering found its way out through the culture, but that doesn't mean we like to suffer. We hate it as every other living being does.
Holodomor 1932-1933 was a genocide.
Anyway thanks for talking about this part of our history . The world must know.
My
great-grandmother managed to survive in 2 holodomors: 1932-33 and 1946-47
It's unbelievable what was endured here.
@Opanas Opanasovich - It's what Ann Applebaum, the leading contemporary Western historian who is specialized in Holodomor, professors James Meiss and John Conquist who wrote "Harwest of Sorrow," called a "post-genocide trauma" of the Ukrainian nation. The topic of Holodomor was a political tabou in the USSR, punishible if mentioned publicly, so people were forced to surpress their inner teas, not being allowed to even cry upon the loss of their relatives, so there was no closure. Interestigly enough, even nowdays, after the collapse of the USSR, the Kremlin and Russian political elite still deny this críme saying: "Oh, well, starvation was everywhere..."
@neuralcircuit It sure was. The richesse of fertile soils (specialists say about 70% of the best soils of the world!) + plus hard working skills of the Ukrainian farmers combined earned them that reputation. By the way, during the WWII, when Germans occupied Ukraine, they used the railway roads and trains to take that soil and transfer it to Germany.
Even in the Soviet times, Kremlin was artificially creating such conditions to force the Ukrainian farmers not only to work on their land but oblige them to go to Russia to work on their fields in summer. How? Just by artificial restrictions in selling building materials (bricks, wood) to Ukrainian peasants: only those who were working in Russia had right to buy a certain amount of such materials and usually at higher price than elsewhere in the USSR where prices were supposed to be equal. But even under such conditions, the Ukrainians managed to build better housing than Russians did in their villages.
And do you know the situation in the Russian agriculture now? - Well, fields are abandoned: millions of acres of land are being invaded by poisoning weeds... while Putine incites his people to go "gather 'Russian' lands" (by hybrid wars, of course) in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and Belarus... "Russian worker is a bad and lazy worker," used to recognize even their communist leader V. Lenin. That's why Russians can't stop willing to retake what they lost to the nations willing to go independent and not to be at mercy of then foreign and hostile power (Russia) when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
@@bristonknight9315 Breznev as a Ukrainian succeded in driving Ukrainan to Russia forcing them to abandon the motherland? Wow.
@@Truffle_Young_Jr - You have a very superficial knowledge of the Soviet political system to claim that Brezhnev was Ukrainian. The fact that he was taken to Moscow from the former Dniepropetrovsk in Ukraine doesn't support it: in the Communist Party (at the level of cities and provinces), as well as in the Soviet Army and KGB, existed a system of rotation of "cadres." Most of top level positions were filled by Moscow in the first place. More to it, the second secretary of each town, province, big industrial complex, University, etc. was always of Russian origin and affiliated with KGB. Besides, in every big unity (research institute, factories, school district, university, etc.) there was a so-called "department No. one" (первый отдел) composed exclusively by KGB agents, usually controlled from Moscow and which were permanently rotated to prevent establishing links with local people... Example: the Holodomor (extermination of millions of Ukrainian peasants in 1933) was carried on by the Central Committee of the "Communist party of Ukraine" where all of its members were sent from Moscow and were of Russian and Jewish origin.
I really enjoy how Ivan explained Holodomor's context and what the consequences it has in our mentality. I couldn't have explained so clear even on Ukrainian. Respect.
15:24 that did age well, the sportman and the comedian guy are now national heroes. Slava Ukraini! Prayers from Slovakia 🙌
I thought the same thing when he said that!
fascinating watching this with the current situation in Ukraine
Thanks Bro. You showed me a different Kiev than the one I'm used to seeing on other channels.The only thing I see from other channels is the hill with the women carrying the sword. You showed me a different contrast of Kiev.It is a beautiful and diversified city which definitely now deserves a visit
Did you notice the number of cars in the streets of Kyiv? - That's one of the reasons of poor air quality and huge traffic: people rushed to buy foreign cars, mostly used ones from Europe that often would not pass the exhaust gas standards... At the same time, a relatively good and functioning system of public transportation was drastically reduced or even destroyed (tramway and trolleybus lines). You should see the number of these favella-like looking car garages along the railway lines and other spots... - Consequence of poor government policies in the matter, on one hand, and on the other - not less poor level of public education about the environmental issues. While in the West the level of auto saturation was rising gradually and measures were taken to controll the air quality, here, in Ukraine, it all happened (from practically zero public cars up to the 90ies) very quickly without any control... So nowdays, the number of cars in Kyiv surpasses that number of many European capitals. It looks like the anarchy is still in blood if this nation.
Same happened with consumption of goods and packaging of products: the amount of which increased to the unseen levels while the recycling facilities and habits of people "laissent a desirer" as Frenchman would say.
Add to it that all the government and public attention, especially from 2014 when Russia started its direct aggression, was turned to the needs of the army and defence, and you will understand the situation.
The marshrutkas are the biggest polluters on the road here.... often they have black smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipes..... The marshurtkas need a major upgrade.... A lot of things here need a major upgrade (infrastructure); which is common knowledge..... the problem is how do they "pay for it?" Most companies and people here refuse to pay taxes or do their best to avoid paying taxes...
@@TheNecessityofVeracity - І guess you might be right... I was in Kyiv more than 20 years ago (1998), and the previous visit took place 20 years before, in full blossom of the so-called "real socialism"...
There was so much enthusiasm in the air when got their independence and started restoring the monuments and churches that communists had destroyed. They say that Kyiv lost about 300 churches to the Communist rule!
Currently all their enthusiasm is turned to cars and modern construction. But I remember that chaos and confusion of the 90ies with crowds of people in the improvised markets selling everything they could put the hand on to survivre. Factories were closed and all production collapsed. The Western advisors convinced the inexperienced in market economy government to open markets to foreign goods; and one can only imagine what it was like to live there at that time. Argentina with all that "privatisation" of the state owned industry we witnessed would look like a paradise in comparison... But what especially worried me (I wrote a lot about the post-communist world in the frame of geo-politics) was the step-by-step increase of Kremlin hostility towards Ukraine: it was a real economic, political, information war that Russia was waging against Ukraine while the West was closing eyes on it. To the point that I was expecting the military actions to start in the beginning of the years 2000... I'm convinced that Ukraine would be a different country today had not Russia done everything to strangulate that country.
@@bristonknight9315 Thanks.... I appreciate your perspective. I only moved here 4 years ago but I have heard a lot of CRAZY stories about what this place was like in the 90's (a bit like the Wild West).... I really like this country despite it's many problems.... I agree with you 'that Ukraine would be a different country today had Russia not done everything to strangulate the country'. However.... at the same time... I think that Ukrainians need to step up, take a little more personal responsibility for their country and they also need to stop cherry picking history.... There are also a lot of people here who STILL have the naive belief that the EU or NATO is going to magically save their asses..... Not likely... Ukraine historically speaking has always been in a difficult spot due to it's geography.... It has always been surrounded by stronger empires/countries... the usual Trifecta suspects of course (The Russian Empire, USSR, and The Russian Federation) but also some of the forgotten ones too like the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth... As us English speakers say "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst".
Thank you so much, capitalism!
I been to Kiev like 8 years ago and was fcking amazing
Hi Peter. Nice videos. I am from USA living in Ukraine for several years so I can echo many of the things you have said. I have lived in both Dnipro and currently in Zaporozshe. You are welcome to visit and shoot videos here but I think the air quality is far worse than Kyiv! It is a sore spot in an otherwise developing and beautiful country.
Hopefully you got out of Ukraine before the invasion?? 🙏🙏🙏🙏. Stay strong. Stay safe.
If only the majority of vloggers showcased the cities they visited as insightful and interesting as you do !
( But then life would be boring I suppose ... you have to know the bad to spot the good )
Thank you for sharing your art ...
Hi! I'm Dave, a British musician. I live in Kyiv: you absolutely nailed this documentary!

Kremlin is in the process of reabilitation of Stalin, denying his bloody deeds and even erecting new monuments around the country. Some Russian historians are even being detained for writing about Stalin's crimes...
well said
Great video , thanks! Ivan is a nice guy! Gave nice details of the history.
Kyiv Major, Klitschko, said, he wants to transform Kyiv from #176 to #100 city in the world in next 5 years (for example Moscow now is #167) ranking of place to live. So wait until 2025 and see what city is best to live in east Europe 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Unfortunately INVASION ruined it all😢😢😢😢😢😢
Another great video, Peter. You provide such wonderful insight into other cultures.
I love these videos. They’ve opened my mind and I’ve learned so much! Definitely adding some new countries to my bucket list
Love your two episodes. I have visited Kyiv in 2019, loved the place but definitely did not see most of the things you were showing. Loved the old city and restaurants. Thank you.
5:05 - The building behind (between them) is where I grew up! :) Moved to Boston when I was almost 16
I can always get a feel for the texture of the city from your videos. I am going to have to visit Kiev to see all of these places. Thanks for the video and keep up the amazing work!
Hey Peter, thanks so much for creating this channel! You're doing an amazing job showing insights of cultural diversity in a very interesting style!
Cool another Peter Santenello video 👍😀
Hi, Peter! The reasons for the famine are much deeper than the guy told you in the video. In the 1930s, when the Big Depression began, the USSR could no longer receive external development loans . And Stalin did not think of anything better how to take away property, valuables and food from the entrepreneurs of that time. They took everything for the "needs of the country", even shovels, rakes and food. Stalin was a "cannibal" in relation to people. Commissars went door-to-door and took property from farmers. There was such a slogan that "the rich had to share their blessings with others" and that "everything goes to the needs of the homeland"
The Great Depression never required governments to starve to death millions of men, women and children.
@@jeffbreezee , You say that because you know nothing about the USSR. In addition to those who died of hunger, there were political prisoners. People did not have freedom of speech and freedom of movement. If you spoke badly about the authorities or exposed their crimes, you would be sent to prison, shot or sent to a labor camp in Siberia for 10 years, where you would most likely die from unbearable conditions and diseases. Moreover, people could not travel outside the country. Until 1975, the villagers did not have passports, which was essentially slavery, you could only go to the city to study at the university, and this could be the reason for obtaining a passport.
This new Ukraine series has finally motivated me to take a trip to Ukraine! I am an aspiring travel blogger as well and Im jotting down a lot of professional pointers on video making\content and the finesse of editing from this video! :) More power to you Peter! @petersantenello
Fantastic. Go do it!
@@PeterSantenello Means a lot coming from you, Peter! Take care bruh!
Great video as always Peter. I haven't been at that part of dniper. It looks great there. I was at a boat restaurant with wifie in Kiev once. They had the biggest selection of vodka I've even seen. Great food there too.
thanks for the video and peace to Ukraine
great video, Peter!
Thank you, Peter, your videos are very nice!
I was very sad when I heard at around the 8:30 mark when your friend said it felt like the safest place on earth.
Beautiful Kyiv - I would love to see videos from winter. It is so depressing in the winter, I have to admit :( Definitely a summer city
I would love to disagree with you but it is mostly true
agree, spring and summer are best time to visit Kiev
Except in late December to mid January there are New Years festivals everywhere
It's the 11th of February, 2021 and there is snow everywhere! Parks are the best places to visit during these days. Just go to Muromets, Mariinsky, Holosiivsky and other parks, you will be amazed! I love the Muromets park. It's a true woods and plains right in the middle of the city!
I've been in Kyiv on winter many years ago and I can tell you it no way depressing!!! it was lovely!❤❤❤ Actually what was depressing for me was to leave Kyiv and return to my country Argentina...😢
Thanks Peter, very interesting videos about Kyiv.
This Channel was suggested to me on yt im loving it!
Ukraine is so different than I imagined
YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH HEs back
Excellent content peter . thank you 💗
Loved the series. Really cool you dive in the history of the city and gives me inspiration to visit certain spots. Especially the 1917-1920 period was messy and confusing in which 12 consecutive regimes had power over the city ranging from the Ukrainian Rada, to the Soviets, to the Germans, the White Movement and the Poles.
What's the White Movement?
Great video as usual Peter.
Your friend needs to get a visa and come to the US. He seems like a wonderful person. 💜
Brilliant
Yes, sadly, ecology is neglected all over Ukraine. And it's not only officials or politicians, regular people throw garbage in the forests and burn leaves, import ancient cheap junk cars from Europe etc. No real trash recycling, no sorting. We lack strict laws to regulate these things.

@Vassilios Pupkios- I'm the first to stand against communism, as I did in the past 50 years! So no need to patronize me. You'd better read and reflect properly before jumping to such weird conclusions. You might be very young to understand that the issue of environment protection and personal responsibility might become the question of survival for your generation as well as the whole world. And very soon! So far my premonition of future did not betray me.
A year or two later, Ivan’s statements in the subway station and on the beach are painfully ironic. Today was a good day for Ukrainian Resistance Forces, and I guess the comedian for President worked out pretty well.
This video is so fantastic❤️
Nice video!
love you. peace. greetings from Kyiv, Ukraine
Very valid point about pollution. It's all over the place from Bangkok to London. My lungs inflamed after few days and I was wearing mas there 5 - 10 years ago and I was shocked nobody else was complaining. Ppl no longer feel their nodies
There's a great movie (based on historical facts) called "Mr. Jones". Anyone interested in topic of Holodomor should watch it. I'm from Ukraine and didn't know about Mr. Jones (a real historic figure from UK)
thanks! will watch it
Great stuff
That gym/garage/park is awesome!
Lovely
stay strong UA brothers.. Slovakia is with you !
Hi Guys! Thanks!
"If No suffering, - ...something are wrong! " Great 👍, Ivan!
Use to live in Kiev,in Pechersk...
Come to Chicago!
Nice vídeo
Fascinating content
Interesting 👍🏻
The air quality problem around this time of year is mainly due to burning farmland. The smoke drifts into the city. The burning is illegal but people do it anyway.
Exactly. While Kyiv has indeed a very serious problem with vehicles exaust, the overall air quality is still much better than in most of europe (thanks to the amazing green scenery around) .
That Kyiv Food Market had a Grand Central Market (LA) vibe, just much more upscale. 👌🏻
I'm in love with this gym!!! the last time I went there it was -3 😂😂😂
Very cool. I really like your friend. U guys could do a video of just u 2 talking at a restaurant about Ukraine and I’d watch. Love that food hall. Harald Baldr, btw, did a couple of videos at that outdoor gym ... and I think he went swimming in the Dnipro. You’ve got a lot of great material to work with in Kyiv. Hope we can get over there some day.
oooh
Nice
Ivan is Krasava!) I like the way how he explains things about the suffering and election
Lovely videos and insightful observations that put into perspective the experiences of locals like myself! Unusual to see the streets i walk in every day on camera. You should check out Mykilsko Botanichna street, close to the Shevchenko park and the old botanical garden))
Hey Peter. Enjoyed the new vlog. Where did you get the T-shirt from?
Lots of love and respect from Michigan..
Ukraine 🇺🇦 seems like such a polarizing place ~ plus and negative
Like a battery 🔋 it works!
I’m not sure what connects it?
I feel like it’s the strength of the people..
Can someone help me?
Has the culture always been a connecting people?
And if so why?
I have a feeling it’s from all the hardship...
I think the u.s could learn from Ukraine 🇺🇦
We love you guys 🇺🇦💛 🇺🇸
And the Christian brothers have been in prayer 🙏🏻 for you and with you.
Украинцы не стоят на месте и любят пробовать все новое, открывать, познавать.. А когда возникает опасность, обьединяться и давать отпор
I recognised a lot in this video but I took the wrong turn at hidropark to find the gym :(
Could you make a video from the Motherland Monument and go all the way to the top? I was too scared 😂
I migrated from kyiv to the USA 12 years ago. And have not visited since then. Living in Virginia. Thanks for showing me the places where I used walk in, work out etc..
Why leave kyiv?
Very interesting to watch, and a little bit sad, too, because so much has changed in the last months/years.
Peace to the world ❤
Just discovered your channel, keep up the good work 👌💯 Greetings from northern Germany 🙂
HELLO BROTHER, FOLLOWING YOU SINCE UR IN SAUDI ARABIA
I recommend watching the movie ' mr. Jones' . An eye opening movie about how Moscow pushed Ukraine into the famine
That film is awful. It presents the people of soviet union as junkies and prostitutes. I hope you do not believe everything you see and everything you read, not all of it is true.
@ Vatsalya Sankhavra - Thanks for your suggestion. I sure will try to find this movie. However, the most serious works on Holodomor are those written by the Western historians John Conqwist (Harwest of Sorrow), by Ann Appleboum and James Meiss.
One of the best movies on mass murders, psychological profile of KGB (NKVD) murderes and about victims is the movie "Chekist" (it was available on youtube), created immediately afer the collapse of the USSR when all censorship also collapsed. When Putin (KGB) took power in their hands such movies became impossible: the censorship is back in place.
I have been living in this city for almost 4 years.... I definitely agree with you about the air quality!
It is just a common cold to many of us as well. Nice video keep them coming. I wasn't able to go to Ukraine this year but at least we can watch your videos. How was the massage? I have been to the outside gym many times but I don't remember seeing that guy there.
Good
This vlog is so good I don't want to show it to my friends that might come to Ukraine so that it doesn't spoil it for them
Very wrong to consider Holodomor without examining history of the moscowian empire (birth of the moscow by mongol empire, its early life as ulus of chingisids khans and orda and other valid circumstances of those genetic) and without considering 300 years slavery of Ukraine. Also wrong to look at current war whithout remembering Ichkeria, Sakartvelo and 3 failed attempts to anex Crimia
Do you know you were walking among the remains of Kyiv Citadel near that famine memorial? It consists of 9 bastions or so. Just google for: Ruins of Kyiv Citadel (centre of Kyiv Fortress)
Thank you for the contrast tour of Kiev
*KYIV
The beach club used to be called Bora Bora. Right next door is Olmeca Plage, miles better.
Speedos - budgie smugglers & weights in the sunshine..... is nice!!
Hello like you my wife is Ukrainian and from Kyiv when you get back to Kyiv you must go to Obolon North of the centre there is a 5 kilometre walk along the promenade starting a the golf driving range, in the spring and summer it amazing its like the Mediterranean shops, bars restaurants generation's of families all walking together so beautiful.
8:20 Deepest metro station in the world.
This! I was waiting for him to say that!

Ok seriously, I NEVER comment video's like EVER, but, we have outdoor gym's like that in Dover Ohio!! Thoughts and prayers for Ukraine!! I hope your friend on here is okay!!

Astounding, had no idea.
I always think back to soviet era.
grey drab, no color. No advertising. I was there in late 80's, 90's during wild west days. The rape of resources by soon to be Billionaires.
Now I see from your video Modern, and progressive. We shipped millions of tons of steel to China.
( from Mariupol ) The insiders got state allocation for steel, nickel etc. At domestic Soviet prices in rubles, then shipped overseas and sold in USD for market prices. The kickbacks to the officials and steel plant mgrs, made them into Billionaires. The money safely offshore, to pay for yachts. Homes, jets.
etc. They took their massive profits from the deals and then bought the steel mills for ridiculously low prices. One of these Oligarchs lives in Canada, started in University here, set up Trading company and with his father in Ukraine set up these dirty deals. He is a Billionaire now. This worked exactly the same way in Russia. The latest estimates I have seen for Russia are over $1.2
Trillion held offshore.
Need to return this money and hold them accountable.
I think the world is ready now to do the right thing. I'm glad to see the eu, and Germany step up.. Ukraine is European, and Putin belongs to the past.
I'm with Ukraine.
Cheers from Canada
