😀 you DID bring smiles to our faces! 😁 thanks 💙💛 sooooo happy to see you both again! (Your English is GREAT!) 👍 (I hope I see get to see a car with a bucket! )
I’ve been concerned, but have learned that I should not expect very frequent posts from you guys and it doesn’t mean that you are not ok. Great to see you again. Slava Ukraine!
SO glad to see you're both well! We hear all this bad news about air attacks and it's easy to assume the worst. I imagine I would love a collaboration with this channel and Anna From Ukraine or the Ushanka Show, at least as far as the topic of USSR goes.
The wondering has finally stopped, welcome back guys!! You must tell us about the renovations regarding the home!! I have seen some recent footage of places near Kyiv completely fixed!! It's great to see you all again!!
Thank you ❤ Well, our home becomes in the renovation program by United24, but we still waiting for when the work will start. Our temporary work survived this winter but I'm not sure if it will stand next one. Hopes all will be fine 😊
@UA COURAGE I have seen your recent upload ( yesterday) regarding your accommodation!! I am not happy with what has happened. It is easy to say this from the UK as I am not there! However, having spent a lot of time in your country prior to covid, there are many things I understand!! 😐 In saying that, be safe and hopefully things will turn around for you soon! 🙏
Hello from Ireland, welcome back 😁 i used to be a mechanic in my younger days and i found this information very interesting, do you know any information about oil freezing in the engine in extreme cold and what people did to get going again?
Good to see you again! You succeeded in your mission to put a smile on my face, love it! 🙂 From years ago, i remember 'Ukrainian paper cut art' and 'Ukraine Easter egg art' but i've not heard of either in a long time. Do people still do those sorts of things there or has that faded out?
As long as I have been alive ( 60 ) we used anti-freeze in cooling system. It was 50 mix. Sometime in the 2000's it came premixed in container. No buckets in USA.
Ha! I was guessing the bucket was to pick up horse manure. There are highways here in Arizona where, in the summer, local organizations place jugs of water about every 100 meters for when it gets so hot your car/truck boils over. I've carried jugs of water in my old 1968 F100 pickup truck. Haven't had to worry about that since I did a proper coolant flush/fill, though.
I wondered where you'd gone, glad to see you back and having fun. I didn't know that about the buckets even though I went to Orcistan in the 1980s. A good tale that I'll remember, Thank you.
SO GOOD to see you guys! You two are sooo CUTE! Love your humor and information that you provide. Please stay SAFE! Slava Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine! God Bless you guys, and ALL Ukrainians!
That would make sense to add warm water to system to warm up the oil to start it on a cold morning. In Canada, we have electric block heaters to "plug in the car", and some parking lots in northern towns (usually outside office buildings) have electrical plugs set up to use them during the workday. As well, to drain at night would prevent the water from freezing and cracking the block.
I heard that bucket is for transferring antifreeze coolant from state vehicle to private cars for a small price. Used oil from truck goes into home furnace. Diesel fuel is syphoned from state truck's fuel tank and sold to comrades for nominal fee or wodka, bucket is international measuring device. Keeps everyone honest. Portable toilet bucket is air dried on rear of truck at 40 kilo or faster. Good when picking berries on side of road. Good for catching milk from cow in neighbor's field. good for washing feet after hard day of work. Everyone should have a bucket.
I remember seeing a bucket hanging from the back of old German vehicles too. In fact, no depiction of a WW2 Tiger tank is complete without the bucket hanging from the back of it. Though instead of draining and refilling the cooling system every day, they just had someone start and run the engine for short periods through the night so it could be ready for use at a moment's notice.
Such a long time since we last heard from you! I would like to know how re-building of your house for winter went. Or did you have to move? I am the worst car owner ever! I understand nothing but although winter is cold for me where I live in Australia, the only buckets of water I have needed were for bush fires, not cars! You both indeed put a smile on my face! Ukraine rocks! Australia loves Ukrainian people!
Came to your YT channel after Denys Davydov recommended you. So glad he did. I am looking forward to learning more about Ukrainians and Russians. Absolutely hate what Putin is doing with this invasion. Take care.
Ina, have you two been studying English during this dark cold winter? Your English is so much better than before. I love Genya's stories! As a Sociologist, I love hearing how people live or lived in other countries! I am so glad to see you guys back. I was worried about you and wondering how you were doing. Has Genya maybe gotten a job fixing any of the military equipment? I was thinking about all the Orc stuff Ukraine captured in the Kiev offensive or the Bradley's or Stryker's that are coming or repairing the Ukraine equipment that needs fixing from the battlefront. I would think this might be a job that would pay well. Take care, I love hearing from you guys and I love the stories. Can you share your experience this winter, how you guys got along with all the bombs and how your lovely son is coping with all this war.
Missed you, Ira. So glad to see you two back. And I'm sorry hubby's name is Genia? For Evgenie/Evgenia? So the legend of the Soviet bucket. I like it! Some day I will have to tell you two about our useless things. One thing traveling around russia 25 years ago, I noticed the roads are terrible. But they refine a lot of oil. And with refining shouldn't they have lots of asphalt to repair the roads? Where does all the asphalt go? To waterproof roofs?
good question. I think part of the answer of the horrible roads is a combination of the poorness of so many of the Oblasts and also the drastic weather of super cold in winter and super hot in summer. I lived in the mountains in Utah in the 70's and 80's and except for the freeways, the other roads were horrible mostly from the snowplows and salt and sand that went on them in the winter. The poorer the county, the poorer the roads. The main street of Park City was so full of potholes that the joke was if someone was swerving, they were sober but if someone drove straight they were the drunk ones!
@@annehersey9895 It just might be. Also planned badly. Whereas The US will pay absurd money for a rural road that is quite thick, the Orcs just lay something on the surface. But I'm wondering why they don't at least surface it regularly. And it is hit or miss. On a road from Krasnodar to Slavyansk (na Kubani) it was an excellent road. Get far off it & expect a rubble pile.
Oh my, where to start. I think a fun story _(rather long though)_ is the Dacha Movement. How it in Soviet times was the dream of almost every family. How that even though people lived in city apartments, their whole lives rotated around their dacha and its garden.
Interestng and funny story 😃👍🏼 I heard a story about little buckets you have to buy and put in the window of your car or truck as kind of a " street maut " / for protection 😉....it was not the police 🤫 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💪🏼🙏🏼
So what was it about Bubble Gum? I visited Moscow & Lenningrad when I was in high school in the 70's. We were told people will trade all sorts of things for bubble gum. I have an army cap badge & some kids got medals. For Bubble Gum!
CCCP didn't make any bubble gum, only people who went abroad were able to buy some. First ever bubble gum line was built in Estonian sweets factory some years before 1980 Olympics. It made the gum in 3 flavors: orange, peppermint, strawberry, sized about 30x20x7 mm. Looked like an eraser, and texture was also somewhat similar. After chewing for a while it fell apart. Later they started to make more usual leaf-shaped packages, with improved texture (still no bubbles). Taste I think didn't change. Peppermint and orange were ok, but strawberry had horrid artificial taste; still, if it was the only one available, you had to cope. I do like strawberries, but even now decades later, I tend to avoid any strawberry-flavored products. I can't say that this bubble gum was always available even in Tallinn, but definitely more common than in rest of the USSR. Of course soviet gum was far cry from real "Wrigleys" or "Juicy Fruit". I remember in some russian book or movie whole class was chewing the same piece of bubble gum. The main character was 4th or so in line and hoped that this time there will be some flavor left. It gave me some understanding how rare bubble gum was in russia.
@@inkaplir6945 Thanks! We were told to bring some to trade, but when one fella turned up on the tour bus wearing some kind of medal the Intourist Guide was shocked & told him to put it away & not take it out until he got home as it was a very important medal & people would be upset with him wearing it especially since he got it for Bubble Gum
Russian know-how! I bet instead of engine oil and windscreen washer they used seal fat and pickle juice 🤣... My bad, they had no windscreen washers... Good to have you back folks! Slava Ukraini 💙💛
Welcome back guys. What is the level of orc terrorism like in your city now, we saw it was terribly dangerous at the beginning of their murderous invasion.
Jenya’s English is getting so good! 😊!!! You guys Rock! Thank you so much for the info.
😀 you DID bring smiles to our faces! 😁 thanks 💙💛 sooooo happy to see you both again! (Your English is GREAT!) 👍
(I hope I see get to see a car with a bucket! )
It's been awhile and I was worried about you folks..
I'm glad everything is OK in your area and you are doing well.
Stay safe and be strong...

Interesting video about the buckets, thank you! Hey, great seeing you two back, and I'm glad you are both OK.
Add me to the list of people who were wondering about you, glad you're back.👍

Yeah, this art still lives, moreover it's studying in art colleges. So students are practising it
Interesting

I love Orcistan Lester and just may use it myself!
@@annehersey9895 I didn't invent it though, I copied it from a Ukrainian soldier in Bakhmut. Yes, it's a great name for an evil empire.
Wonderful show!
SO GOOD to see you guys!
You two are sooo CUTE!
Love your humor and information that you provide.
Please stay SAFE!
Slava Ukraine!

Good to see you both again. Kept stopping by for news. And today here you are!
unbelievable!

Good to see you are back, hoping you were all just busy rebuilding and staying safe.
thanks for posting. lmao
Why is UA COURAGE like a Russian bus service?
Because there are none for five months, then two come on the same day. 🙂 Glad to see you are back!

Wow....What did you do between stops of a length of time, leave it run or drain & fill again???? Should have had air-cooled engines....
I will not smile, I will piss in the bucket.

I'd be interested to hear more about the "drinking culture" of Russians.
In winter Russian put vodka in water then put in radiator and also put vodka in driver as well That`s how done in mother country
"Modern" Russia...yeeeees.
Welcome back guys. What is the level of orc terrorism like in your city now, we saw it was terribly dangerous at the beginning of their murderous invasion.
Hey sweetie was afraid you weren't coming back!! Good to see you again 👍🇺🇦❤️😊!!!
Glad to see you back!
