- In our quest to understand the world, there are no countries we want to shy away from. We spent quite some time contemplating this one, but eventually felt called to go and go look human stories like we do everywhere else. This is the story of our trip to Belarus.

Hey guys, this is Julia from Belarus.
Just watched the video (was crying and laughing all the time!), still cannot believe that this journey was real.
How fascinating life is. You were my inspiration and motivation, I went through some difficult times with you, your videos made me believe that I could do anything in this world. But meeting you on regular rainy day was something I would be thankfull forever (the weather obviously was not giving the vibes that some magic could happen).
There was so much more to this trip: it was right and comfortable (in discomfort), joyful and crazy, real and not real at the same time. Because of the love that you spread I felt so myself during this adventure.
You are real people, the most honest, grateful and kindest humans I've ever met. You really make this world better, you do.
Ohh and Yes family, your comments make my cry, love you all, you're amazing!
P.S №1:
Still processing that I have now 3 brothers. Crazy, what a life!
P.S №2:
Etienne, you are the best!
@@juliakatsion Your a great guide and thank you for helping Thomas and Steffan while in Belarus! We wish you all the best
You were sunshine on a rainy day, Julia! Spasibo
you are lovely, we are all more than the country we are born in. you are a beautiful human ! come to usa sometime ! i would host you here in illinois.
If you began your own channel, I'm guessing you'd have the Yes Theory fans quickly subscribing.
You were amazing! you have such a beautiful anergy about you :)
Julia is such a Yes Theory vibe. Please make her a part of the team if she’s willing to join you guys. She has such a good heart.
Yes!
a girl on the team would be nice!!!
@@mohiljamariya4427 yes please
Hearing that I have a Yes Theory vibe is the best compliment ever, comment section makes me cry, you are so amazing🥹🙏
@@juliakatsion You are awesome Yulia, greetings from The Netherlands :)
Julia’s energy is amazing !!! And her English is so good for someone who’s never met English speakers before
we were first English speakers she'd ever met! Couldn't believe it
Julia YesFamily when?
She’s very sweet.
She's a spy.
@@THW69I come here to ask this. She fits in SO WELL
I'm a Canadian living in Belarus for over 2 years. I've watched a lot of your travels around the globe with great joy. Clicking on this video and seeing you start the journey to Minsk by bus, being anxious and uncertain with the language barrier. Those are all feelings I frequently experience while traveling across the land border.
It's important that people see Belarus for what it is. A beautiful, clean and organized country, with kind and polite citizens.
As many others have mentioned, this video brought me to tears. Thank you for your work.
Absolutely bonkers story, wow :)
as much as I wanna say it's organized, its not.
Why in the world would you leave Canada? Oh wait dumb question on my part maybe when Trudeau is voted out it will be better, lol There's no place on earth like Canada so beautiful.
The first thing going through my mind as I watch this documentary was how clean Minsk really was.
Probably one of the uglier countries in Europe completely flat and boring landscapes but the people have great hospitality and are given which is commendable.
I vote for the Belarussian girl to be the new member of Yes Theory Travel Vlog. Her positive energy was contagious!
me too haha :)
she seems so sweet 🥰🥰
Actually it would be great to have a girl in the team. Just sayin' ;)
Wouldn't it be awesome to see her cover her Italy trip?🤩
She gets my vote!
I'm from Belarus and it's so unusual to see videos of popular channels about places I visit every day
I’m from Ottawa, Canada and when I see that stuff about my city is weird I know that feeling
It's also very unusual not to mention that we have a Belarusian language, not a Russian one. And also to say that 'we' defeated the Nazis, as if the Second World War was won by the USSR alone, without allies. Not to mention the questionable celebration of 3 July as Independence Day of Belarus.
@@dashav.888 stop smoking, 99% of belaruzzians speak ruzzian, wake up pls
@@ManiacSouth93 Therefore the national language is not even worth mentioning? BTW I'm Belarusian and I speak Belarusian, as do my family and friends.
@@dashav.888my wife is Belarusian, and she always says that lots of young people really try and speak Belarusian more than Russian. Trying to maintain some national identity.
The fact that we get free documentaries on TH-cam by Yes Theory is truly a gift.
1:10
It's not a documentary. It's a puff piece on a country that supports the invasion of Ukraine. Learn to think critically for fuck's sake
How is this a documentary? They just shove a camera into people's faces until they accept to hang out. That's not how making a documentary works.
Belarus reminds of Kolya in Belarus from Bald and bankrupt, hope he's fine.
Documentary is a little bit of a stretch. That was a vlog
Guys...I am from Cuba, I lived in Belarus for two years....and I really miss it....very honest people, I talked to so many taxi drivers who welcomed me to their country...your video has made me cry....
Yeah but that doesn’t suit western narrative
" are you a man ? Are you a man ? "
" Because I only help women" 😅
He was very serious about it 😊
Howitzer should be. They do not suffer snowflakes.
What a jerk that guy, at least tell them to put their own bags without that stupid question
@@progressivenorman I live in Lithuania, thats a typical gopnik bus driver who cannot show some decent manners to save his life. Sadly you meet a lot guys like that in here.

Alright. This might be my first comment on YT but this video deserves it. Thank you. Thank you for this one, specifically. As someone who has lived in Canada for 20 years, and has followed you since your time in Montreal, while being born and raised in Belarus, this one hit so so close to home. Thank you for doing what you do, uncovering kindness in people even in the harshest (from the outside) places, despite all the circumstances. Thank you for venturing out of the capital to a small village and bringing back memories of my grandparents and my childhood in Belarus. I could smell the train you took, the garden you walked and the house you were in. This was a cathartic watching experience and an incredible full circle. Thank you again. Now I'm gonna go ahead and watch it a few more times. Love over fear. ✌🏻
Love you buddy!
As a born Canadian, thank you for choosing Canada. We're lucky to have you, and I am teary ❤❤
Привет из Москвы. А что там в Канаде? Зачем уехал?
Спасибо
@@andreym9800 It's a very good question! WHY would all these Belarussians leave that wonderful country? I want to move there.
Petition for Julia to join Yes Fam. Watching yes theory my reservations have always been that they’re all men, and so I feel like I couldn’t do the same as them for safety reasons. Seeing a woman joining these adventures would be incredible and so inspiring!
I totally agree!
They have tried to include the women…but a lot of the countries they were going to wouldn’t be as welcoming, especially under filming circumstances. I can see “why” overall that happens. They have to be approved for a lot that they do. So this was nice. I’m glad they didn’t experience any negative sides.
I agree so much! As a woman i fear more and cant ever imagine mayself traveling like this. 🥹🥹🥹
Omg yes!
1000 thumbs up for this !
Я из Минска. Плакала два раза во время этого ролика... Первый раз, когда осознала, как много людей оказывается даже бояться к нам ехать. Якобы опасно, страшно.
И второй , когда вы увидели белорусов какие они есть ... Приезжайте еще ! Спасибо за это видео миллион раз!
@@Ядерный_пепел Please keep spreading this message. A lot of Americans like myself feel very similar to you. I would love to visit your country and have no bad feelings against Russia. I hope that our countries can become allies.
@@oDazzleRazzle Thank you, I always knew that there are good people in the world and we need to be friends and cooperate with each other. For example, what can I say about me now, I won a residence permit in the USA from the State Department and have been trying to adapt to America in New York for two years. It is difficult for now. Maybe I would move to another state. Not too cold and not too hot. Where there will also be some kind of work... Well, something like that. Belarus is certainly in my heart. I am for peace between countries and friendship. And I would like to visit my parents more often, brothers and sisters and grandmothers in Belarus. Family is everything to us.
@@oDazzleRazzle I deleted my previous message because I was in a bad mood. I think there is no need for more negativity in this world. There is too much evil in the world already. Let's be friends, all people in the world. If you think about it, Belarusians are not much different from Americans. I am Belarusian and worked with Americans in New York. Perhaps their grandmothers were immigrants from Europe, Italy, the Balkans, etc. But now they consider themselves Americans because they were born here... So I think that we are practically the same. European appearance and culture are practically the same everywhere, be it the USA, Germany, Great Britain, or Belarus, Russia, Ukraine... It's just a formality. Many Belarusians came to the USA and Europe. Europeans and Americans can also come to Belarus and relax, or see, live, study, or work, do business, etc. Just like Belarusians and Russians do in the US and Europe. There is enough evil in the world. We see too much evil in the media. We are literally being set against each other. We must be smart to prevent a new war or a new arms race. We have had enough wars.
It's not the people that others are scared of, but the government and regime. Comment from a neighboring latvian.
@@ligakarklina5799 В Беларуси хороший режим власти. Налоги низкие или их почти нет. В США режим правительства гораздо хуже. В США очень много налогов. Очень большая коррупция. Самая богатая страна мира, но деньги воруют в правительстве. И США НЕ выглядит как богатая страна. Большинство штатов выглядят хуже Беларуси. Лукашенко герой Беларуси. Не надо нам никаких Тихановских и прочих лже оппозиционеров. Мы очень рады что Лукашенко остается у власти. Лукашенко это лучший вариант пока что. В США зарплаты выше, но цены и счета выше в 10-15 раз чем в Беларуси. Поэтому большинство населения США нищие. Красивая архитектура стала загрязнятся и смешиваться с безликой архитектурой рядом, офисными и пром зоной. США стали хуже это факт. Беларусь стала лучше это факт. Еще 5-10 лет и Беларусь обгонит США по качеству жизни.
Staffan here. I just wanna write some words. First of all. I am out of this world grateful to have a friend & brother like Thomas, who gives me the courage to travel to a place like this. I would not dare by myself, but it's clear that friendships without judgment when fear hits definitely give superpowers. I hope you have that or will find that in your life as well. And then I wanna encourage everyone to keep spreading love over fear in this world. Just as our new sister Julia is doing and the Babushksas we met. Okay, this was the end of my little novel.. :) Love you all!
Love back!
Staffan, it's amazing to see you guys travel to these places and meeting so much love. I hope to see more of this. Much love from Sverige
your energy makes me cry every time, Steffan, thank you so much for being a part of this
Steffan you are a people’s person with such a kind heart very charismatic ❤
Staffan du är kung! Keep bring your positivy!
As a grandma aged person, my heart was so warmed by your quest to find a babuska, and you did! I cried when you gave her the stone heart.
What is that age? 55 plus?
Who doesnt love grandmas? :)
Her face was like wtf did he gave me
@@colleenpeck6347yes, maybe smth like 62
hi from Belarus!
at the beginning of the video i was like "huh, what are they talking about, why are they so scared, we have like the kindest people in the world " then when you met Julia i thought, that that we have a lot of that kind young people, that would instantly agree to guide you through Minsk. when i see this positive comments about julia, about grandparents, i understand that we have like almost whole country of people with their vibe. what i wanna say is that Soviet things you've seen is just a cover of polite, clean and kind country.
Единственный вопрос заключается в том, почему у всех появляется неоправданный диссонанс между приведливыми и добрыми людьми и тем фактом, что они проводят военный парад в честь военных, погибших на этой земле :\
@@СтепанПанковец-у3ц А победу им по-твоему тиктокеры принесли?)
@@СтепанПанковец-у3цпотому что они видят парад не как традицию отсылающую к прошлому но как акт нормализации войны в сегодняшним контексте рядом с происходящей войной и возможной её эскалации.
Я человек родившийся в Европе но всю жизнь интересуюсь культурой своих предков и скорее обозначаю себя как русскоговорящего/СНГ-шного. Не смотря на это, окружение я имею другое так что и грани нормальности у меня отличаются..
Так к чему я это? Не у американцев не у европейцев военные парады не являются частью их нормальности. Нормальный люд никогда не слышал о парадах в России уж тем более Белоруссии и они такого уж точно не примут у себя. После времен войны во Вьетнаме, очень сильно распространились среди народа на западе сильное антивоенное мнение и демонстрация силы, храбрости воинов как вот такое на парадах полностью противоречит их убеждениям.
Война, победа или поражение не повод для гордости. Вот как ёмко в одной фразе могу описать реакцию вам не понятную.
Костик, не нужно перед ними оправдываться и лебезить, пусть думают, что хотят. Те, кому надо, знают, что люди везде примерно плюс-минус одинаковые. А тут заранее предвзятые иностранцы с промытой антисоветской пропагандой башкой. Видят символы и их воротит, хотя они ничего не знают о том времени от слова совсем. Не нужно пытаться понравиться и заискивать, не нравится - никто их тут не держит и сюда не зовет.
@@СтепанПанковец-у3ц охренеть, расписался тут, культурно обоснованный ответ написал а уже через день у себя лично сообщение не вижу.. Почему детальное расписание своих мыслей всегда удаляется? Ничего социально не допустимого я не пишу..
hi guys.
I usually don't write comments, but this video really touches me. I communicate with many countries and I'm also afraid to go to Belarus. Then I start talking about my country, its advantages and disadvantages. The video you made became very important to me, now I can show Belarus through your eyes.
It's a pity that I didn't meet you by chance )
I hope you will come to Belarus again, every corner of Belarus has something of its own. It's worth seeing the castles and diverse nature.
Thank you for visiting our country, we are waiting for you to visit again 💙🤗
Ok but Julia and Staffan are such a vibe togheter. Poor Thomas was not able to handle both of their energies 😂
Julia obviously wanted Thomas but Staffan was going for her
I'm a 60-year-old man and this video had me crying It's amazing how you find good people all over the world. That young lady Julia is such a beautiful soul.
Follow Julia's journey to Italy on her Instagram @kationchikkk (Like this post so more people see it) PS. We are posting more from this trip on our Instagram at @yestheory - PS. In what country could you host Julia if she travels the world? Comment below :)
I would gladly host her here in the states and show her around
slovenia. im sure not many people even heard for us :D
She is always welcome in the great state of Ohio, we would be delighted to have someone with such powerful charm and energy❤️
uk any day(london specifically haha)
@@krazy.88 Ahh Slovenia what a hidden gem of a country!
Random guy who has visited Belarus a couple times here Belarus is not some strict ass Soviet country it is a really nice place and Minsk is just amazing they got stuff that are not in Scotland like huge water parks and amusement parks and they have grape Fanta which is so good and finally the perfect temperature for Scottish people like me! I got friends in Belarus too so it’s perfect.
We have our pros and cons like everywhere else. Some visit maybe great and fun, another maybe wrapped in bureaucracy and sad feelings.
This video reminds me of the time my mum, brother, and I were travelling on the trans-siberian railway in 2016, we met a girl staying on the same carriage who had spent the last 10 years learning English, but we were the first English speaking people she had ever met, and she spoke so well!! We knew her for two days on the train, and as we were heading to Novosibirsk, she told us "before you leave from the train, please wait, my brother has gifts for you". Turns out, she is an artist, and her brother is a woodworker, she had sent him drawings of designs she had drawn, and he had wood carved Russia with a bear and a kangaroo on it (we're Australian), with the words "From the Gerasimov family to the Lawson family", and a few other beautiful wood carved pieces. It was the sweetest display of kindness ever!! She was just so thankful to be able to speak English to native speakers for the first time in her life. Russian and Eastern countries' kindness and warmth is one of the best things in the world. My mum still proudly displays the carvings in her house, and we love to tell others the story of how we were given them. Its so important to recognise kindness and love
Such a beautiful story, wow❤
That’s amazing! Such a beautiful experience
my boyfriends last name is gerasimov! also russian 🥳
Stefan was raised very well. I love how he appreciates the smallest things and is not afraid to show emotions. Thats real strength
This is a great reminder that you don't have to go to the other side of the world to give seniors the only thing they crave: someone to talk to and share their life with. There are so many of them that would love for someone to just drop in and talk with them, if they just live down the street or in the middle of Belarus.
Extremely well said.
Beautifully said
Canadian...been to Cuba around 15 times on vacation and met may people from Belarus. Such wonderful people and so happy. I love that most countries actually teach another language....outside of of basic 4th grade French....most of us Canadians lean nothing unless we seek it. I guess that is why we should "Seek Discomfort". But honestly.... most Belarus people I met were pretty great!
Its nice to see a documentary that doesn't demonize the country. I am an American, and I've been to Belarus several times, and I've been at all those locations in Minsk in the video. Its a beautiful country, rich in history and culture. The people as you say don't seem friendly, its because its not in their culture to smile and say hello, as here in America, we sometimes do. But once you talk to people, they are often talkative.
I've never had a negative interaction with people there, nobody beat me down in the streets because I'm American. But often they're just interested in my opinion of the country. And I always say its beautiful, clean, delicious food, and I love the culture and history.
I encourage more people to visit and see for themselves that its a great country to visit!
Fun fact: their KFC tastes better than U.S. KFC 😉

@@Stachmiklashevich I have family there, and I've been there many times. I see can see everything with my own eyes.. People will always complain about something. Same for those who live here in the U.S. but do nothing but talk about how bad they dont like living here.
@@kevinsview93 It's not "I don't like living there" level, it's "I'm afraid to live there" level. I was born and lived there for 24 years until I moved to Europe, where I have been living for 8 years now. I can now plan for the future, can you imagine? We can afford a house, a car, food, trips to other countries, save money for the future (and we are simple immigrants, we had nothing with us but a few bags of clothes, a pillow and blanket and a few thousand dollars gifted by relatives). My wife literally saved on food and asked her parents for money when she lived and worked in Minsk (and she worked as an architect, not in a low-level job). A huge number of people are literally on the bottom two levels of Maslow's pyramid of needs.
I'm literally scared to go there because of what I've written in comments under political posts and liked them. I've seen criminal cases and people who have been tortured in prisons just for daring to take to the streets after the 2020 election or write something against it. I see 4 years of terror against those who haven't been caught yet. I don't want to go through this humiliation at the border with checks of your correspondence and interrogations (I am aware of similar humiliation with interrogations at American airports).
If you don't protest, don't write anything about the authorities - you will live in peace and most likely nobody will touch you. No one will ever think of beating you up for being an American or any other foreigner (wtf???), it has never happened and will never happen. People literally grow up on American culture and enjoy the benefits of the western world. They are interested in socialising with people from a different culture. Many of them have never left the country their whole lives, like Julia (I hope she does go to Italy).
All in all - Belarus is a great country, it's very cool that foreigners are coming there and discovering it for themselves. __EVERYTHING__ in that video is an absolute crystal truth. The only problem is those who control the country. And we should remember that only for this single reason Belarus is hell for many Belarusians.
Hope you got my point, sorry for longread
You were treated like this only couse you are not from there you get a little pass in their eyes, if ypu were living there you wouldn't think that, also don't encourage people to go to country's who are invading another country and committing war crimes, third is most of kfc and McDonald's are better in Europe than in America
Every U.S. fast food restaurant chain in almost every other country tastes waaayyy better than it does in the U.S. I wish the franchise owners in the U.S. cared more about the quality of the food.
Greetings to Belarusians from a neighbor in Poland. All the best and a great future for your country.

Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.

This is incredible. I’m from Belarus I live in NY now for 14 years. I am writing from minsk right now, i came here for vacation for the first time in 5 years. Your portrayal of Belarus is incredible I hope more people see this video. Belarus is a touching place. Home to incredible people. Not without its problems. Tears were streaming from my face during the babushka section of the video. It reminded me of my late grandma, and a simpler time in my life. I hope young kids from any part of the world watch this and take away the lesson to never take things for granted. Thank you for coming to Belarus.
Minsk is infinitely superior to New York. NY is also more totalitarian and incredibly violent, especially against Whites and Jews.
Love to Belarus from the US!

My “brother from another mother” was from Belarus. I lost him 5 years ago, so watching this video was incredibly impactful. Thank you for shining a light on this interesting country with beautiful people and as always for making the world a better and more connected place.
May he rest in peace. He will be proud of you!
I recently lost my grandmother, and these babushkas remind me of her. I'm crying watching this video because my grandma had the same level of generosity, energy and liveliness as them. She was such a character and i'm sure you guys would loved her if you met her. I wish i could have showed her the world but she died too soon.
I was here reflecting on my grandmother and then I saw these beautiful souls.
I am so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
If you don’t find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day to realize that the money you thought you had, had exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
I'm from Australia
I’d like to invest, where do I start from?

this was probably one of the best spontaneous meeting videos i’ve seen from yes theory in a while. i also just wanted to comment to tell staffan that i have never seen someone who reacts so empathetically to social situations the way i do. seeing you express your feelings towards others makes me feel so normal. sometimes im afraid of being to sappy or emotional, but you remind me that it’s okay and appreciated. thank you.

I’ve lived many years abroad and a lot of my foreign especially western friends wished to visit my country, for many of my friends I am their first friend from Belarus and I’m always honored to be one. To show the world we are actually really cool kind and friendly people and the country is not as scary and weird as it may looks like on the west media.
Yulia is my twin ,like - minded , I’m glad you’ve met her , this was a destiny and your present for her really touched me , and I am glad she was so healthy patriotic and not ashamed of our country and said all the good things about it and communicated in her best way! You definitely couldn’t meet a better guide than her in Minsk 🙏🏼
Anyways guys, you’re always welcome back to dive in deeper. And to see with your own eyes that it’s not as scary as it is portrayed in the “free democratic country” . For sure people are just people! And everyone has an open heart and soul if you are also with your open heart and soul! All Russians and Ukrainians and Belorussians used to be one , and the people are still ONE but politics are politics. Wars will always exist… there is much more going on , but our countries are just on the spotlight now.. but it’s not the choice of the people or decisions that people can simply impact on. We are living not In the world of unicorns and pink ponies. It’s so immature to judge the country’s people just by the political situation in the world…
I hope that the viewers of this channel can understand this.
Also the name of the video is so controversial as if it’s the only thing my country is famous for. Quite sad and I don’t like this tacky name but sure if that what attracts the viewers let it be… I’m glad you were able to show our kind and simple grannies and simple typical country side life and bother-less life that ordinary people have and some bubbly and awesome girls like Yulia who even has a great English and smiles all the time! People are people, if we focus on bad - we will find bad. If we seek for something good - it will find us :) ☀️
My family comes from a small village in poland and dude I'm almost in tears watching the older couple drinking vodka with you guys. This reminds me so much of my passed away familymembers which did the exact same thing with the german friends I brought there to visit them. Thank you so much for bringing up those precious memories!

I worked with a Belarusian friend when i was younger. He once said to me "Kevin, do not whistle while you work! You will whistle all your money away!". It always stuck with me. I figured it was because whistling can be annoying and yoyr coworkers can't escape it.
Haha

Thank you for this. I am a 52 year old man who has been out of work for 2 years due to anxiety caused by working as a inner-city teacher and my last parent passing in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Since then, I feel I have seen more heinous and ugly people than ever. The negativity seen from our government and growing up thinking all communist people are bad.
I came to tears watching how the people of Belarus opened their homes to complete strangers and offered their hospitality and more. In my neighborhood, in the city of Indianapolis, I feel very unsafe to do such things. Just this week, we had a salesperson punch a guy in his home because he did not want the salesperson on his property. There are other instances, too! It sounds to me like we have a lot more to learn from the rest of the world.
Thank you for spreading kindness. It is appreciated more than you may realize.
Great to hear rare wisdom from abroad, because the western youth do not trust their eyes and are scared to death setting out to the most hospitable an safe country in the world. I hope that Belarusians will stop being hospitable to any outlander as they do now and learn to respect themselves and deny mockeries like stone hearts in reprisal for friendliness and hospitality from some western uneducated countrymen. To you - my hat-off, Mr.

I myself am from Belarus and lived in Minsk. I can say you guys really got the genuine experience. Sadly, my babushka passed away in 2018 and she had the most beautiful garden in the village.
Julia is one in a million! Please keep her close to yes fam, bring her on special trips or something, the world needs more of all 3 of you together.
>Julia is one in a million!
She's great. Yet, my experience with Belarus is very similar with many more people.
Julia needs to be a Yes Theory regular, she’s a natural!
The problem is it is difficult for her to travel because the Belarusian passport is really weak.
This was such an interesting documentary. I am from Poland, and Belarus is our neighbour, but while being so close, they always felt so far away - our countries have never been friends in the modern history due to political reasons. But those people are so kind, especially Julia, she has this Slavic warmth in her that lights up the room! I hope we get to live in better times one day, where Polish and Belarusian people will become the slavic brothers and sister again and visit each other
I'm from Belarus, lived half a year in Białystok, visited Warsaw and Gdansk a few time. Now living in Vilnius. It's nice to hear that from polish people ^^.

@@ПётрСтолыпин-ш4с KRASAVCHIK. спасиб тебе! >>- THIS GUY KNOWS THE TRUTH AND HAS RATIONAL THINKING! - READ HIS COMMENT! - Any rational person would understand in this day and age, Yes Theory most likely got paid by the west to even make a documentary as such - especially naming the country 'DICTATORSHIP' in Europe - typical scenario to enrage everyone onto politicians of that country - like they are 'dictators', when in fact, its no-where near true, but portray the people in a good way - so there is a 'fight' to fight for, fxck off with your western narrative, the country is living and prospering, while your western countries are slowly going down with lies and fake media coverage, etc.
If you're a rational person, you would understand this is not a simple documentary, but a piece of propaganda, western world and NATO went from Ukraine, to Armenia, to Middle East, back to Ukraine involving Russia now, and now they want to prioritize and bash on Belarus?...
People smart enough would catch on the whole vibe and would go down a rabbit hole to prove, there is a lot of western money involved and washed, created, et - through wars and such conflicts, at the same time trying to weaken any other 'big boys' like Russia...
Julia is literally so amazong. Her energy and vibe was absolutely incredibly, and she fufilled her role as a translator exceptionally well! At 21:27, she improvised a translation to express the visible emotion you were displaying into words. Just saying yes to the idea of going to belarus led to such and incredible experience.
I was born in Eastern Europe, and the scene with the vodka shots and leaving with a bag full of pickles really hits home!
As a child, we had a child come to our home through a local program. It was called Children of Chernobyl . It was to match children with families in my city in Canada and get them out of the toxic air from Chernobyl. The boy was named Nikolai and he was 12. He was from Belarus. He stayed with us for 6 weeks. He knew no English. He was so sweet. Very lovely boy. Those 6 weeks out of the toxic air gave him 3 extra years of life.
I didn't know kids from the Chernobyl affected area wound up that far. CoC, afaik, worked only with W. European countries. Glad to learn smth new.
Do you wanna say that Belarus polluted by toxic air?
Fellow Canadian here, I had no idea we had that in the country, was that a government program, Or a charity? That’s really great to hear and a sweet/sad story. Did the boy only live until 3 years later?
@@Даня-т7э after the Chernobyl accident, the southern part of Belarus was also polluted with radiation
@@sir_humpy Chernobyl disaster's fallout actually may have managed to even reach north america although in veeery small doses, but most of it landed in Belarus due to the radioactive rain moving north.
Julia is such a bundle of joy. So happy for her that you guys helped her out with her dream. Tell her she always has a host if she wants to travel to Belgium
Glad you had a lot of fun in our country guys! We appreciate your kind words. Happy to see you again!
My wife is from the countryside in Poland. The visit with the Babushka is so reminiscent of where she lived. You could be walking down the dirt road and a stranger would invite you in for conversation, tea/coffee and cookies. This warms my heart. (We haven't been back since 2017)
In our province people are also more authentic and welcoming.
As a belarusian and a fan of yes theory I would like to say I love you guys from the bottom of my heart.

Julia was amazing. My advice to anyone travelling the world is only judge a country by the real local people that you meet. Not by what the mainstream media makes it out to be. Keep up the great work. 😊
This video reminded me of 2014, when Belarus hosted the Ice Hockey World Championship. The whole city was filled with people from all over the Europe, and there was a lot of joy, happiness, and festive vibes on the streets of Minsk. Today you can barely hear the foreign speech there, but I believe it would be back one day.
Thank you guys for this video, this is the first time I discovered your channel. And thank you for showing not only Soviet monuments, but Belarusian people. Julia is the face of our young generation that just wants to be the part of the world, enjoy the life, travel, make friends and spread nothing but love, kindness and positive energy. And thank you for your tears, it was heartbroken and so sincere 🥲🤍
Wish you good luck and love always over fear! 🙌
Being part of the world just means unelected people from the EU pushing unpopular edicts on your country. Belarus is better off as it is.
In fact, you can hear even more foreign speech on the streets now, although not in English. ;)

The fact you couldn't get someone willing to be a translator speaks volumes... lucky you ran into a fan of the channel. You still manage to find the best people in every culture.
It's really strange that they can not find translator
🎉
Speaks volumes of prejudice and power of western propaganda against countries that are not considered their allies 😂Irony is that some countries they came from or travelled through in order to get to their destination are "worse" or "more dangerous" than place where they were going to lol
@@mxkortybab I'm gonna be the boring person and say that that part is just for storytelling, you can always find people to help if you offer enough money.
This is a big channel with 9 miljon subscribers, they probably get hundreds of PMs to their social media every day and to not be able to find one (subscriber) person living in Belarus that would be willing to translate is just dumb, ofc they could have gotten one if they wanted.
If I didn't know better I would say that they talked to their fan before they even met as well.
And they just "happend" to go there the day there was a big military parade, they planned that as well, no doubt
It's not strange and it's not prejudiced. The people are terrified to support anything Western. They can get prosecuted and thrown in jail if they say the wrong thing
Who’s chopping onions here??? I’m crying my eyes out, of love 😭😭😭😭😭😭 so sweet and kind. I could really see myself on her before starting my travels.

I travelled to the Soviet Union in 1985. It was an incredible place. I applied for a permit to travel around the country and drove from Moscow down to Kiev, and up through Belarus, to St Petersburg (then called Leningrad). It was incredibly different to see, and I learnt Russian for the trip so I could converse. Everyone was so friendly (unlike stereotypes of the Soviet Union). It was so foreign to me. Beautiful place. Watching your mouth was the only part that was hard. I went on a month long trip including ‘victory day’. I saw the most incredible display of weaponry I’ve ever seen. (I was in Moscow for the parade). It was certainly a good time to be alive. The soviets were friendly with the west (to some extent), and it was still completely safe to travel around Eastern Europe without wars everywhere.
Но ты еще не знаешь всего. Оказывается при правлении Брежнева СССР были лояльней к США и западу в целом, чем когда либо. В 70-х, 80-х годах на улицах советских городов нередко можно было встретить молодых людей в одежде с символикой американского флага. И это при "проклятом коммунизме". Сейчас во время "демократии" в России за майку с флагом США тебя могут преследовать, думая что этими жестами ты поддерживаешь Америку, которая спонсирует украинцев в войне против России.
@@GarrettAD60 and the silly westerners wonder why Putin wants, no needs, to establish the Soviet union again. I pray Russian tanks will soon liberate back to the post ww2 borders as they’re liberating Ukraine right now.
If you haven’t already, listen to Leningrad by Billy Joel. And maybe look up the back story.
It’s a beautiful song anyway, but all the more poignant for your story - and what this video shows us.
@@guyspooner4580 it’s a good song.
This was beautiful! The babushkas you met all reminded me of my Polish grandma. The beautiful flower gardens, the boundless energy and the generous heart. I felt "at home" watching this. Keep spreading love!
No way!!! I was one of the people who replied to the story of Staffan when you were looking for a Russian speaking person available on the date of the trip, but somehow my messages weren’t sent in dm and ended up in requests, could be such a cool adventure! I’m happy to see Julia showing you all the hidden gems of the country (she is one of them as well!) and it made me feel extremely nostalgic about my childhood at babushka’s house! Best 30 minutes of my evening!🌸 hope those shots didn’t hit you all too hard!😁
requests honestly is a bad feature for DM
honestly who isn't crying
But look how cool it sounds now: "We were looking for a translator but NO ONE agreed to join". Sounds like a b**it. There are plenty of bright guys to help translating.

I studied in Belarus 10 years ago and used to go there every year, when there were still flights. I've visited almost 50 countries by now but Belarus is still my #1 favorite. Can't wait to come back to Minsk. There might not be as many opportunities, but for me it's the most comfortable european city for living.
Thank you from Belarus!

Aww, this was just lovely. :) I'm a retired U.S. diplomat (Dept. of State, 1990-2015), who was assigned to the American Embassy in Minsk, Belarus between 1996-98.

A thousand thanks for all that you do, Team Seek.
I had the pleasure of discovering Belarus in December of 2007. I worked there, lived there and have countless stories of the hospitality and warmth of these beautiful people. Julia is the essence of all that is amazing about Belarus..

We got so lucky, Julia had actually been waiting for her friend there who was late for 2 hours. 2 minutes after we ran into her her friend arrived. Really felt meant to be
You are naive, these are agents of the Belarusian KGB 😂
She seemed so relieved to meet someone from out of her country
I am pretty sure Julia is a secret government agent, and she found you not by accident
wow what an incredibly convenient coincidence wow that’s crazy guys
I remember how our car was broken in the middle of a field somewhere in Belarus and there was a babushka, who just sat near her house and felt lonely. We asked if we could stay in her house while one of us would drive car to nearest city and fix it. We stayed with her for almost a day, she was very poor, but simple, told miscellaneous stories and tried to feed us and even offered to stay at night to not drive though darkness.
The people from Belarus are so friendly and warm. The media sends another message into the world over here. Thankyou for reporting on this. Warm greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🤝🏾🇧🇾
