Prager Street, a bombed-out ruins until the 1960s, was rebuilt as a showcase for communist ideals. Its vast, uniform apartment blocks goose-step up the boulevard to this day. The design is typical of Soviet-bloc architecture - from Moscow to Bucharest. Today, after a thorough update, they’ve become desirable places to live. They did start rebuilding dresden in the 60s but that went on for ages right through the 70s and into the early 80s it was proper destroyed dresden by the allies only building contractors with real special permits could get in there and what I saw was really strange
@@Martina-Kosicanka I know but the whole point of traveling is experiencing new things,he could have been there half a day. If he went to a Russian restaurant to eat it would be more normal but idk
Yo what’s up Roman, nice to see that you had a good time in Berlin, except for the stuff at the cafe, let me apologize for my German comrades, they were probably just a bit too afraid to approach such an alpha slav. But back to point, I’m actually from Berlin and grew up in a district in east berlin. Hearing you talk about the Soviet Russian influence on my hometown was very entertaining and at some points you even taught me something new. However the main reason why I’m writing the comment is because I used to work at “restaurant Moskau” which you talked about. Unfortunately i have to say it’s not exactly a night club, it’s more of a space for holding events and such stuff. I was part of the team that held events in there, and it actually has some Soviet decorations on the inside too. Unfortunately tho, they never played any Soviet Russian music while I was working there, but if I go back into the company (I’m taking a gap year rn), I will definitely ask them to play some cheeki breeki hardbass or the Russian anthem. Keep having fun on your travels and good job on the vlog :) I really enjoyed it
I live in east Berlin but I come from Bulgaria and I remember the first day I came here I was like: "Wow these buildings reminds me so much of my home country". What's crazy about Berlin is that the different neighborhoods can't be compared one with another. For example when I go to west Berlin - I feel like I'm in a different city lol.
I don't know if you're still in Berlin, but I live in Marzahn and you really should check it out, also at night time - it IS safe here. There is also a huge russian community in Marzahn - sometimes I sit in the tram and all around me people speaking russian only (and vietnamese - the other huge community), there are even russian supermarkets here. The Karl-Marx-Allee was really called Stalin-Allee before and it was the first major street that got reconstructed after the war (in the east part of Berlin) and they really tried to copy these kind of big streets (prospect ... right?) in Moscow/Moskau/Mockba because back then the slogan was "Von der Sowjetunion lernen, heißt siegen lernen." (Learning from the soviet union means learning to win) ... the early communists tried to copy nearly everything from the soviet union, it's a wonder we kept the german language ;-)
@@freshsoulbeats6084 It may be not not as "commie-looking", but the East Germans were the most fanatical commies of the entire Eastern block. The Russians at least preserved some traditional conservative values, but the east Germans were just crazy.
@@ethhics It's nowadays that they tend to be right-wing on the issue of immigration. DDR, unlike BRD, did not abandon German patriotism; at the same time, they tied their country to an "internationalist" agenda. That's why East Germans tend to yearn for the old good, strong and monocultural Germany. That's my understanding.
That feeling when you spend your entire life in Chelyabinsk so you're trying to relate everything to your home town. He reminds me of me when I was 5 years old.

I really enjoy watching your videos. You do not talk about the same kinds of things as many of the same age. I love your understanding of history and people. I think you are bridging the gap between countries and people of all ages. Thanks for the great videos.
i was in this part of berlin. there aren't any zebras cause the street can get quite buisy and you are supposed to cross at a pedestrian traffic light nearby. Zebras are common in smaller streets with less traffic
legit enjoyable short review of the area i live in, sadly couldnt be there myself. Also no the waiters probably werent racist but cant speak english, common problem
This is so weird , you talking about all of similarities just made me realise how my town - wich is the most southern part of Sweden , has alot of these stuff also . Especially my towns swimming hall , it has the mosaic art inside and alot of the buildings from the 60’s are either square or rectangular .
A lot of the things you see as very Soviet, we have here in Oslo too. From the building style, to the decoration style outside some public buildings, to the same exact tiles, to celebrating labour day, to hanging out clothes to dry. It all reminds me of where my grandmother lived, when I grew up. You might have to look for it these days, as the city is changing, but I often think about labour-class neighbourhoods in Oslo when I watch vlogs from Eastern Europe.
it aint weird that the street was named after Stalin after the war. I mean after Stalingrad, the germans are lucky he didnt name the whole eastern province of berlin Stalinsburg

Graup, I'm not sure about your suggestions: in Leipzig you will find only single buildings of soviet style in the city center, not like an ensemble like in Berlin. The same with Dresden, Cottbus and Halle. In Halle, there is Halle-Neustadt - a whole suburb outside the centre with soviet style appartment blocks. Maybe Eisenhüttenstadt wouls be interesting in this regard.
@@henningbartels6245 it's true, they're hidden rather well in Leipzig, though there's a whole ass stalinist building on Roßplatz and the opera is stalinist as well.

@@graup1309 there is that one Block near the Westplatz and of course Paunsdorf. Honestly Grünau has been modernized more than Paunsdorf so you won't find as many classic grey blocks there anymore. They are all colorful.
Hey Roman greetings from the UK found you on Mr Balds channel and came to check out your channel the content is just awesome dude your channel has me already hooked to I look forward to your next upload stay safe dude peace!
You're asking in which other German city you could've experienced that type of stuff? Go to Eisenhüttenstadt, to my knowledge this was like some kind of Soviet showcase of what the perfect Soviet city would've looked like
It was also called Stalinstadt from 1953 - 1961. It was an industrial steel town created nearly from scratch as a model city. Most of it still exists, but in a very good state of repair since the DDR days.
This looks exactly like Romania. Sometimes I can't even distinguish from Bucharest. I can swear is filmed in Romania/Bucharest. Even the tiles are similar.
Very well planned video and plenty of useful snippets. I was fortunate to be in East Berlin in July 1989, a few months before the Wall came tumbling down. I remember how different West Berlin was to East. Coming out of the only underground train connection, it felt like you'd just travelled 30 years back in a time machine. Plenty of memories. Just wondering whether there are any Russians living in those commi-block buildings. Thanks again for posting. Ps. As for Germans being orderly, yes there is some truth, but I have come across some messy 'Italian' style German disorderliness ;-)
The reason the Soviet era flats in Berlin are in such great shape is that the people that live in them actually take care of the building and the area around it. They do not depend on the Gov't to cleanup their area. That is why most German cities are relatively clean. Something others could do as well.
I've been there and felt right at home because I'm from Leipzig which is also in East Germany and we have these blocks here too. Even grew up in one of them but it's painted and modernized now.
Thanks for showing al you show on your channel. I myself will never get to see these things in person, so I am glad I get to see them basically through your eyes. I always hated commies, but I admire how tough the people who survived communism are and it's very interesting to see what we never got to see back in the day. There wasn't a lot of your country or how people lived shown here in America, and we still only see what guys like you and Bald and Bankrupt shows. Again thank you. I really would like to take a trip and see with my own eyes some day, but it's unlikely I'll ever get the chance. Keep up the good work!
In terms of destalinization in east Germany that also happenened. I live in a city that used to be named Stalinstadt literally "Stalin city" but after his death the name was changed to one that is still in use today: Eisenhüttenstadt translated to "iron hut city" beacuse steel production is the main industry of the town
Great video, man. I enjoyed watching it. I wish you had the opportunity to go inside some of the Soviet block apartments as I am curious to see how big the flats are.
These big advertisements on the buildings, you can see this in a lot of the big East German cities, Leipzig for example, they didn’t got taken down because the West, who technically swallowed the East, didn’t make this kind of ads, therefore they never got replaced. I never realized this until I saw some tourists (I guess) from the western side of Germany take photos of that.
I went to stay for five days in a russian hood in berlin in a guest apartment where i stayed with a german family who lived in the su. And man what an experience it was. So cool to hear about their stories.
I drew up in a small Town in east Germany. After High School I decided to study in Berlin. I am now living in the Karl-Marx-Allee and it actually feels like I never left. Still Soviet Flats everywhere and a Television Tower when I look outside my window, but this time it's just taller. Btw the Karl-Marx-Allee isn't made smaller because it's to big. They want to make a Cyclist highway out of it next to the cars and so far 2 Cyclists died because of it. I saw it with my own eyes...
This is a great idea. Like Russia in a parallel universe (essentially the same architecture, but populated by different people). I've been to Russia and I love both Russia and Russians, but it is very sad when you think that everything could look a bit more like this, but does not.
I grew up in Hellersdorf, which is now joined with Marzahn. I never got the feeling that it is really dangerous. I mean you can get stabbed everywhere if you are unlucky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But it is funny to see you in Berlin. I disccovered your channel just some tome ago and heard you saying you already visited berlin, so here I am. Good video :D

The Zebra in my German town: Bin ich ein Witz für dich?
Great video, man. I enjoyed watching it. I wish you had the opportunity to go inside some of the Soviet block apartments as I am curious to see how big the flats are.
In Berlin Hellersdorf, there’s a giant painting of Yuri Gagarin on the wall of an apartment building.
Love the vid Roman! Reminds me of Mr. Bald himself. That just means twice the travel content.
@nfkrz, you should go to the DDR museum next time, it's a great laugh !
These big advertisements on the buildings, you can see this in a lot of the big East German cities, Leipzig for example, they didn’t got taken down because the West, who technically swallowed the East, didn’t make this kind of ads, therefore they never got replaced. I never realized this until I saw some tourists (I guess) from the western side of Germany take photos of that.
Roman always reminding us he’s from Chelyabinsk is a bruh moment.
I went to stay for five days in a russian hood in berlin in a guest apartment where i stayed with a german family who lived in the su. And man what an experience it was. So cool to hear about their stories.
I drew up in a small Town in east Germany. After High School I decided to study in Berlin.
I am now living in the Karl-Marx-Allee and it actually feels like I never left.
Still Soviet Flats everywhere and a Television Tower when I look outside my window, but this time it's just taller.
Btw the Karl-Marx-Allee isn't made smaller because it's to big. They want to make a Cyclist highway out of it next to the cars and so far 2 Cyclists died because of it. I saw it with my own eyes...
This is a great idea. Like Russia in a parallel universe (essentially the same architecture, but populated by different people). I've been to Russia and I love both Russia and Russians, but it is very sad when you think that everything could look a bit more like this, but does not.
Bald: Look at these Soviet buildings
Roman: Look at these Stalin's buildings
I grew up in Hellersdorf, which is now joined with Marzahn. I never got the feeling that it is really dangerous. I mean you can get stabbed everywhere if you are unlucky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But it is funny to see you in Berlin. I disccovered your channel just some tome ago and heard you saying you already visited berlin, so here I am. Good video :D
Bruh, the south of Berlin is more criminal than the east^^
The two old German ladies probably remember your great grandfather coming to Berlin! Just subbed you. Great video!
Yo!! U were mentioned in Pewds new Minecraft vid today
Wow, I've heard a lot of Russians speak English, but man, you're good. Like almost no accent. Thumbs up!
You said you would be doing a video with BaldAndBankrupt?
we are, closer to the end of july
btw the song in the beginning is "we are the army of the people" , for those that want to know.
Trying to decide who says Soviet" most often, Roman or Mr Bald?
I like the Change In content, especially since you know what you’re talking about. Keep it up! I think it suits you.
Have you also filmed other parts of Berlin and the rest of your trip? Or is this the only Berlin video you’ve planned on posting?
i will have a different vid later with my thoughts in general
This was super interesting! Thank you for doing this/explaining this.
You will be amazed if one day you get to visit Brasilia that It is pretty soviet oriented. It's designed like no other city in Brazil.
I fuckin’ love Roman’s content, he’s a cool dude 🤙
