Most popular no tanto 😂
Hi Dave , I'am Native American. I watch your videos for content on Siberia. Would you please consider making one on the Republic Of Komi and all those small villages nearby Syktavar. There doesn't seem to be many videos about this region. On a side note, I truly enjoy your sense of humor. You seem to find the cutest random situations in your travels. I also can appreciate how you bear with it when people aren't so friendly. That is their problem to cope with, not yours. Keep up the good work sir! 😄
У людей в Приднестровье жизнь не сахар. Но они во что бы то ни стало хотят оставаться независимыми. Я уверен, когда они видели как ты кривляешься, они подумали о тебе плохо. 07:56
First, your Russian language is very good. Second, your English is also very good, but the Italian accent that comes thorugh occassionally makes it hilarious. :)
Thank you for visiting the corners of our big homeland.
Not hilarious, more like annoying
@@JetzaRuler True
I lived with a southern Italian for a year and his English accent was similarly adorable
But he should stop immitating the way that popular bald guy speak, build phrases, accents, mimics. That is very annoying especialy when it doesnt go well you
Bald got popular cause instead of doing vlogs in thailand japan usa france and those popular maintstream countries. He went to those dark ex soviet countries western people dont see much vlogs about. Bald didnt become popular cause of the way he speaks 😂 So i dont know why he tries to immitate him 😆
Just be yourself! If people wanted to see bald they would go on his channel. Be unique
I don't understand how you are not getting more views and subscribers. Golden content.
give it a few months and he'll blow up
Maybe cause Russia is not very popular anymore.
Factsss ! But now at least the nation stay unexplored for longer
@@JagMan78 Plus TH-cam algorithm censoring for any "Russian propaganda"
That includes even his travel blog video that speak Cyrillic
@@PerryKobalt Can´t say I´m sorry. I'm about to post a video where I'm burning a ruzzian flag.
In 2020 I made another time travel to Soviet times by visiting Barentsburg and Pyramiden. They are Russian towns operated by Russia in the Norwegian territory of Svalbard situated closer to the North Pole than any settlement in Siberia. Barentsburg is still populated. Pyramiden was abandoned in the90s but being maintained by a few Russians.
I really want to visit Svalbard and both Barentsburg and Pyramiden. how much € did you spend more a less in that trip? best regards!
@@FXVNDER 5 days all included from Oslo cost me 1000 GBP in 2020.
Thank you so much for this informative video which shows us this small piece of land in Moldavia. Great video, as usual
Yessss The Legend is Back, Another Banging Vid!!!
Keep em coming David, superb.
Thank you David. You are a legend forever.
Awesome video! Cheers Dave 🍻
Good video you should have more subs…keep doing what your doing. The videos are high quality.
Amazing video!
- "They always tell you not supposed to film around governmental buildings in places like this but let's just be quiet..."
- Continues to shout in Italianish to the camera
the italian language is called italian
@@sulaimation6253 the joke just went way over your head didn’t it
Thanks for great experience
Per un attimo pensavo fosse una chiara reference a bald and bankrupt, complimenti!
Bei contenuti!
nice video man ! Like how you remplace all those youtuber who've been politics and fleet away while you can still show us those country :D
Keep showing us the world man
so good to have a traveller who speaks the local language - Russian in this case. Does Davide also speak Romanian (easier for Italian speaker!)?
Well, Romanian and Italian are from Latin language. There are similar words and also similar accents (of course there difference). Now I don't remember if even the grammar rules are similar or not
That cafe is awesome!
cant wait to see the rest of this area
Excellent videos from Transnistria!
Bel video, saluti da Brooklyn
Another fantastic video! Your energy and sense of fun is briliant. You always seem to pack lots into your videos. I love them.
He is addicted to Amfetamine and Mefedron, thats why he has so much energy.
The footage from 13:13 is so familiar to people who grew up in the later Soviet years or during post Soviet times (like me). Brings up lots of memories - going out to play in the yard.
Excellent 👍👍👍
Actually, the name of the first city is Tighina, it is a city of Moldovan/Romanian origins, on the right bank of the Nistru river and is hundreds of years old.
so cool, like going back in time
Interesting. Thanks, Dave. Don't bother about low numbers in views....they don't know what they're missing💪👍💪👍
Dude you Bucher ever English word perfectly.. Its like listening to comedian! Keep going, great channel..
The area of Transnistria was once heavily settled by the Germans at the invitation of Kathrine the Great. After Germans lost WWII all the remaining German settlers were exiled to Siberia by Stalin and the region was populated with Russians. That's why Transnistria has such a Russian influence and Putin has a military base there but it all started with Stalin.....
Liar, wake up. Russians have been living on the territory of Transnistria since the 18th century. Transnistria became part of the Russian Empire as a result of its victory in the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-1792, which was secured by the Iasi Peace Treaty between Russia and Turkey.
7:25 Kvint is actually made in PMR, but they have to state Moldova on it for export reasons (at 10:28 there's a photo of the Kvint factory on the 5 Ruble bill, a photo and not an actual drawing haha)
My regular PMR taxi driver gave me a bottle once as a gift :-) good stuff :-)
Youre like "Soviet"9- Bald & Bankrupt 2.0.... i subbed btw 😁
superb humor, got me laughing several times lol
Your videos are super cool man.
Need to buy a better camera like the white sony action camera 👍.
I also want to visit Pridnestrovije in Summer or Fall
There is an Eiffel Tower in Russia though. In Пари́ж, close to Chelyabinsk
Can't believe the taxi driver was 39. Honestly wouldn't have been surprised if he'd answered 59
He looks quite 40, maybe 45, but you're exaggerating
Not everyone looks like a supermodel or Tobey Maguire
@@thehosdadal4542 some look like economic Maguire
Agree. He didn't look bad at all, but he looked like 55-ish. Living the hard life, probably.
This channel is way too underrated
Now this is something extreme!
Nice content, Dave!
Any plans to go to belarus, kyrgestan and tajikstan?
We can hope..
If it ends it stan it should be avoided.
Tajikistan I think they have very strict visa and it's difficult to travel there or in turkmenistan
I was interested to watch this video because some while ago I maintained a small humble blog, and part of it looked at gay issues in various parts of the world. I came across Transnistria and wrote a short piece about how gays are regarded legally and culturally there. Much to my surprise (I rarely received any comments), I had a message from someone of authority within the country which in no uncertain terms threatened me. How my blog was brought to their attention still bemuses me. I did comment back that I would write what I damn-well liked. No reply in answer, but the whole incident truly astonished me. Robert, UK.
"We are not gays" - PMR
@@kurvitaschthedictator .... Of course, some in PMR are. I pity their lives there. Sad days now in Tin-Tin Land, Mr Curvy Moustache.
The average net salary in Moldova and Transnistria is around 350 euro. Minimum net salary 149 euro. From a average monthly salary you can barely buy a 5 year old second hand iPhone or 15 Jack Daniels bottles.
It is like that in most of the world and I feel sad when people in 1st world hate their country when they are living so better off than people like me from 3rd world
@@jasonmiller3011 from what country are you?

Why separatism is bad? Every people have the right to choose their destiny..is called right of auto determimation of peoples
When soviet country speak Russian. Remind us all home and how much it mean to us emotionally..
Definitely looks Old and Soviet I bet B&B would like it.
bald was there too! good cafe
I wish Google Maps had street view in TIraspol.
This is probably the last TH-cam video that shows the Bender Eiffel Tower still standing upright.
A Lada bumping the prodigy makes for a good time machine for me
That bodgourd of yours is a legend . Is he from India ? :)
We have Lenin statues in Finland also!
Killer of the Russia..
8:07 thats not a bus, its an old soviet trolley
Bravo! Dove hai imparato parlare il russo? Di che zona di Italia sei?
There are still plenty of marshrutkas in Russia proper and they are also often crowded. There are also plenty of old buses.
Moldova was the poorest country in Europe for 30 years. Now its the second poorest after Ukraine.
And hopefully both are able to maintain their independence.
Why wouldn‘t they be poor? They have nothing to offer, no ressources, no economy. Does money grow on trees? 🤔
@dish dog Moldova vs Romania. 82% are romanians in Moldova.
Technically Ukraine and Kosovo
it was also the poorest republic in the USSR
A real gentleman wouldn't have to think about giving his seat to a babushka.
Great informational video, long live god and free top G
The food looks delicious
It's incredible that some people still feel like they are in the USSR in 1980.
I am going to visit Moldova with stop in Venice this Friday and weekend 👍👍👍👍 But I won't have time to visit Transnistria.
Did you ever think about "similar-language peers"?
🇵🇹 Portugal - 🇷🇴 Romania
🇨🇻 Cape Verde - 🇲🇩 Moldova
🇸🇹 São Tomé and Príncipe - Transnistria
I mean, I am from Portugal and both cape verde and são tomé creole are ultra understandable by us (unless we go for street slang, obvisouly, but the language itself doesn't change much from the "original" portuguese)
I propose an alcohol game! You watch this video and every time when Dave says "Prednistrovye" - drink immediately! 😄
You edited something very quickly that was very interesting. You showed the 50 ruble banknote. Wasn't that Taras Shevchenko, the Ukrainian poet, on the face side?
That’s correct.
after many days video
watched full ads i did not skipped may be it will help you to get some money
i want to holiday in Transnistria for that authentic soviet experience
Moldova and Transnistria are 60-70 years behind Western Europe.
Moldova wasn’t as lucky as other countries that were able to break away from the USSR. Similarly to Ukraine, Moldova is still considered one of the most corrupt countries, which seems to happen the stronger the Russian influence is in a country.
@@kubamax9kubowski176 Moldova also has zero natural resources, zero tourist attractions, zero working force with just 2.5 million people and it also has Transnistria which scares away all investors.
@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Exactly this. Some of these points can also apply to Ukraine, which is why Russia invaded the Donbass in the first place. Russia believed that with an ongoing territorial dispute, it would make EU and NATO less likely to accept Ukraine and deter any potential investment, hoping Ukraine would fall into the Russian sphere of influence again.
could you mention Ravi's channel
Been a decade since last being there, apart from the way the “visa” looks, things haven’t changed that much. Does Andy’s pizza still exist? Don’t think it does actually.
Indeed no Lenin Statue in France ! That was an intersection video of a rather depressing country .. but your enthusiasm and joie de vivre come across nicely
There are two Lenin statues in France
@@JesterEric hahAa take that 😂
That government building looks so anime.
Man I love Pridnestrovia. Such a world away now.
called Transnistria rightfully.
@@MaximusandHistory well yes, it's denied rightfully so. F ruskies and their land grabbing ways. F Putrid, F. Z fascists and F the return of the Soviet times... people would rather die than accept that sht.
@@MaximusandHistory stfu. clown. we all know the orders in 91 were coming from Moscow.
@@MaximusandHistory let's see how emotional you become when a thug enters your house to rob, destroy, rape and kill. I've picked up enough history books to know we've all had enough of ruzzia's bs. I hope millions more ( including yourself ) will fertilize Ukraine's fields.
@@DacianRider no, exactly Pridnesrovie. That's s on russian
Ma come è possibile che funzioni la tua Visa?....non le avevano bloccate?
This bro learned his accent from Ali G
Why did you say buongiorno to someone from that country when asking for a ticket?
Isn’t there a Lennon statue in Boston
Mi piace il tuo russo con accento italiano,poco audibile in inglese...complimenti. 🤗😉
The video that made Mr Bald depressed
Dasvidanya is usually reserved for farewells in elegant formal contexts. To say ciao to a driver, the farewell das vercher, is more commonly used.
Looks like a worker’s paradise
English subtitles: Pridnestrovia=Britney Stroger!😂
People in all these countries want a Mercedes-Benz or a Porsche. Audi, BMW are also good.
wait is sberbank?
Italian "Bald and Bankrupt"? 😆
Moldova makes pretty good alcohol actually that brandy isn't bad
11:52 it's not a soaviet movie. It's a amovie produced by current Ukrainian president
Okay they don't have money for mowing the public lawns in Chisinau or change the broken tiles on the square, but they have money to paint that giant building in the beginning of the video. What's up with that?
No Lenin statues in France? are you sure about that?
6:43 That isn't the Russian flag.. In 2009, the Supreme Council discussed a proposal to replace the civil flag - which is plain red-green-red without the hammer and sickle - with a new flag, carrying three horizontal stripes in the colours white, blue, and red, being nearly identical to the flag of the Russian Federation, but with a different aspect ratio (1:2 instead of Russia's 2:3). The primary reason for the co-official national flag is that it indicates Transnistria's desire for closer ties with Russia, a guarantor of Transnistria's claimed independence from Moldova. In a 2006 referendum, 97.2% of Transnistrians were reported to have voted in favour of increased free association with Russia. The new flag is used alongside the state flag. In 2017, the Supreme Council passed a motion making the new design Transnistria's co-official national flag.
Something telling me and this burn too
Ladas and gentleman ;)
How much is hotels here in
why did i waste my time watching bald and bankrupt ! Dave your the real deal!
Same start as Bald in video Tranistria...
How do you speak Russian so well? Give me some classes please 😀
10:30 beautiful striped pridnestrovian cat 🐈 😻
Where is your accent from? Are you Russian?
Fantastic video. Lets drop the ugly name Transnistria. It's PRIDNESTROVIA! Now waiting for the version in italiano.
Are you kidding me? Transnistria makes more sense in English
soon to be connected directly with russia
You sound like Borat "Borat, Borat"
Yes its called "polite " to give your seat to a older women , man or child at least in the USA it is
Will you travel to Doneqzk o any russian-controlled territories in former ukraine? Good video.
That would be juicy
Former?
@@turnip5359 ukraine is beyonund the death.
Those places are getting shelled tho... Maybe not all of Russian controlled Donbass, as HIMARS does not reach everywhere but still... Also there are cases that foreigners living there were forcibly conscripted to Russian army, not just Ukrainians but others too, although maybe they would not do it to sb from Western Europe. It has happened with citizens of Tajikistan or other smaller -stans of ex USSR
Good video Dave ....Please do not get offended but you must work on your Italiano language ....Cheers
He is Italian lol
11:50 "The TV is playing Soviet movie or some kind"
Thats actualy was very popular among Russian speakers Ukrainian TV comedy series called "Svaty" and it was created by Zelensky 😅
Copycat kind of stuff. Already seen that cantina on Bald`s channel, anyway not that original.
Yea, he is copying both his style and his ideas, what a knob!
