In most first world countries there's probably not very many people you want to associate with.. 90% are fake as fuck. You are lucky to have 1 or 2 good friends. Even in a city of 5 million.
I am on disability at the age of 45. I am in the U.S. The closest thing to an out of country adventure I have had was a few trips to Chihuahua in the early 2000’s. Shit went down hill health wise.

I would give my left nut to be able travel the little known out of the way places of the world.....You’re living a more amazing life than I believe you even realize.

Yes I like Bald for his opened mind he travels to places where is not common to visit. Yes he gives me a energy burst with every movie. Billy I feel same as You.
Billy Ray,, im sorry to hear I'm 38 and been ill for 16 years,,also disabled,,may the lord bless you,,you are a champion,,being ill 24/7 /365 days a year, for years takes determination of a hero it is extremely difficult,,, you are awesome, a true champion

The guy in "soviet" shoe repair shop was deaf, thats why he was acting strange. In post Soviet countries we that strange thing, workers in shoe repair shops are usually deaf
Found some information about буйнакская street. Ullubiy Danilovich *Buynaksky* (August 27 (September 8), 1890 - August 16, 1919) was a revolutionary leader in Dagestan at the beginning of the 20th century.
There is a town in Dagestan called Buynaksk. So this street is probably named after that city or leads to a road which leads to that city. The town is famous in Russia because during Chechen wars there was a huge terrorist attack. The whole 5-storey house (пятиэтажка) full of Russian soldiers was blown up in 1999. 64 people died (incl. 23 children).
The gentleman at 0:53 was deaf and mute. He was trying to tell you with his hands, that it is no problem to take fotos/film at his shop. At least thats what I understood.
A simple 👍 or 👌could have prevented that unfortunate misunderstanding. For anyone visiting an unfamiliar place. It’s easier to just leave to avoid trouble.
"You never know what you find at the top of ancient steps. Well, in Russia you find babushkas"...Love it! The proceeding argument between the babushkas about who gave you the better directions is priceless 🤣
Yo, i'm from Kalmykia. It's in the southern part of Russia, really chill place. The region is surrounded in steppes, kinda hot during summer. There are quite a few interesting places to see, such as the giant buddhist temple, Hurul, the Chess City, the tulip festival sometime during late spring. Also it's not too hard to find locals to get piss drunk with. I suggest visiting it in sometime in May, or just YOLO it and go there during winter to see the frozen steppes. It's quite a sight.
8:26 it's Viktor Tsoi for those who asked, and in my opinion he's soviet russia's greatest artist of the 80's him and his band КИНО, i definitly recommend hearing some of his songs even if you can't understand a thing,i recommend listen to "gruppa krovi" since that one contains the most solid themes of his band, unfortunaly he died in a car crash in on august 15 1990 in the tukums district in latvia, he was only 28 :'(. My heart literally raced when i saw his image on the video that i had to comment this, i'm sorry if i spelled anything wrong. #ЦОЙЖИВ!
Right now I am actually enjoying a cup of Maruchan chicken flavored noodle soup. It's the instant soup that comes in styrofoam cups and you just add hot water. I love it.
I am native Dagestani spend my childhood there and then my family moved to St.P north capital of Russia. Nice to watch it. Remind me of good old times when I was a child
Bald, you realize that some weeks after you went to Bolivia there was a coup and the government was overthrown. You really were in much more danger than you thought, keep safe man
Please embrace this moment, we have finally reached the peak of TH-cam content creation. I am honoured to say I can watch an absolute legend perfecting his craft, Ladies and Gentleman, this is Bald and Bankrupt.
I was at work, busy with all sorts of activities. Suddenly I felt a powerful tingling in my balls. And I just knew. Somewhere in the caucuses, a bald guy had just referred to me as a friend back home.
Bald is definitely in Soviet heaven in this video. Priceless smile. I have never left Australia yet I feel like I have travelled all of Russia and other countries thanks to Bald. Amazing! Thank you
You should get Nobel Peace Prize for diffusing the tensions between Russia and the Western World. Your videos prove that there are good people everywhere!
Oh my God! I've watched the whole video with a wide smile on my face!!! Such enthusiasm, such happiness, sooo lovely! It's very nice that you're not shy or afraid to talk to everybody in a friendly manner. Thanks to you I have the opportunity to see other parts of Russia, because I for sure won't have the chance to explore the whole country
You have to love how excited bald gets when it's a Soviet bus station like a little kid. His eyes get big and a grin ear to ear warms my heart to see such passion. Keep up the good work.
Your videos are so genious, they really capture the hospitality, openness and friendlyness of eastern european people. I can assure everyone here, by my own experience, this is 100% exactly how a lone traveller would experience eastern europe/russia. Most people go to paris, barcelona, rome, berlin in europe. Mostly noone considers eastern europe/russia. Allthough i'd recommend speaking russian/the countries language if you go into local areas.
This has become the b&b video I've seen the most over the years. There's nothing ultra special or exciting about it, but, to me, it contains everything that makes a b&b video great: getting lost, interacting with babushkas, Bald geeking out over Soviet architecture and artifacts, friendly exchanges with people, the woes of public transportation, and seeing obscure parts of the world we would otherwise never get a glimpse of. On top of all that, Bald seems especially cheery and excited during this episode; you can just tell he was in a great mood, and it just makes you happy to watch it. A timeless b&b classic!
Russian is a hell of a language to learn. For English word 'run' you'll have to memorize like 20-25 similar words for each situation. And thats just one word. Not mentioning proper pronunciation of words like Borsch and Shchi.
Bald and Bankrupt, I love your outlook. I enjoy your adventures and learning about those people's lives. You turn a place on the map into reality. Turns out there's a lot of nice people in Russia and that part of the world. Thank you, Ben.
Me too, very pleasing of old days, when there was no unemployement, free education, easy tranports, science, culture, health, no drugs, no prostitutes.
@Parma zyxwvu He may call it RUSSIAN because Russia isn't a soviet country anymore, and despite soviet past Russia still produces modern things. But its just a meme nevertheless

*A fly lands on the table*
Bald: Look at this, a real soviet fly!
it has a tiny camera inside to track you, and if you do something soviets don't like, a tiny bomb to give you a soviet ( not so) goodby
🤣
Lands on the soviet table
plot twist: that sink was installed about 5 years ago.
Bald is like a little kid at Christmas when he sees a Soviet sink or a Soviet bus station
When you play a RPG and keep forgetting the main quest
Me : sees a normal busstation
Historians : sees a Soviet busstation

he said, please come in, take pictures if you want

and?
Indeed. And I guess he invited you to make a photo instead.
Imagine how many times he said "Soviet" in his entire life.

The old ladies at the beginning helping Bald and talking to the driver on his behalf are GREAT! God bless these beautiful souls
Other than they sent him to the wrong station, but other than that they were great. Guess he shoulda listened to the other lady :)
there are no young people in russia xD
I find this amusing, mainly because it should be an eye opener that people are people wherever you go.
Its so strange to see someone being excited about things you'd be depressed about
The whole family came down to make sure you got the right bus, amazing.
Do NOT drink a shot everytime he says Soviet. You'll die.
I don't know if 31 shots will kill you,
But you will be drunk for 2 day's at least!

just watching a british man fangirl over a bus station
*a SOVIET bus station
not just any bus station, a soviet bus station!
Whats up doc ?
Lil Poop But it’s SOVIET!!
Well you should see are bus stops nothing authentic at all
Normal people:Shave
Bald in post soviet country: Soviet shave
Im just impressed at how socially relaxed he is in a foreign country, i'm not that socially relaxed in my home town of 36 years. Respect.

Could anyone take Russia out of my life then?
You're free to leave if you wish.
"I will explain everything to the driver for you" They are so nice, gotta love the soviet babushkas.
You have an army of Babushka's looking after you :D
