Don't do it! You'll stay, and will work in the ''ogorod" forever, digging the "kartoshka" and seeding the "morkovka". Their good will is unbelivably-seductive, 'specially for "bourjois" ;)
Her excitement when she realized who you were was one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Yours is a good heart to return to give her that feeling.
That 93 year old woman brung me to tears she remembered your kindness and wanted to repay you with a meal she was so thankful for the gifts you gave her what a honor to call you her son. This coronavirus is so scary so I totally understand. Your such a wonderful man on all your adventures you show so much compassion and kindness
After watching this video a couple day I’ve learned that Russian tanks have stormed Chernobyl and I immediately thought of the elderly people who proudly live there. I hope there okay
Watching this again a year later. This is an amazing slice of life. You did the right thing by going inside for a minute. It’s a special circumstance and she would have been heartbroken if you didn’t.
The beauty is that was a personal test to see if he was a natural bigot! If he had been 'limited' he may have said "duck me me, where is a safe place?" and would have come back to a car bodyshell? He passed the test!! EDIT: and I read the comments but I still stand by my statement. (the implied meaning still applies)
The babushka had me tearing up real hard when you were leaving. I think one more round of Kolya and Babushka lady would suffice since this was so bittersweet with the virus keeping you from the goodbye that these characters truly deserve.
absolutley, even if you think you have seen every thing, even once a year visit to babushka and kolya just to wade through that swamp and see the wolves and bears!!!! let us see your paypal addy we will send you donations for expenses.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably gonna shed a tear if Ben ever returns and finds that Kolya has passed. The same goes for the babushka, they're a big part of why I love the Belarus videos so much.
Yup ! Mr Bald is so good that he goes back to visit them. I think in my old age, I would prefer to think that Kolya is still living in his old shack. He probably will be as well ! It's great that kindness is the one thing that passes all cultures and languages.

Babushka reminds me so much of my "oma" . First words out of her mouth when she seen you " are you hungry ?" Or "come , I make you something to eat" .

Imagine the whole situation from babushka's perspective. Every once in a while a kind stranger from foreign lands shows up at your doorstep and comes with gifts. The whole thing is so wholesome, best part of the whole B&B experience!
This youtube is probably one of a few that they show us truth and are being honest, unlike others fixing everything and pretending to be generous. Thank you for the honesty! Well done helping those people! May god bless and protect you.
There are few people you can watch 3 videos of and say "wow I can see the kind of person you are". I have met someone like you before in real life, it is inspiring. This person completely changed my world. Ever since he died, I told myself I will go out of my way to be someone to somebody who could use it, expect nothing in return other than the joy of helping someone else. When you live life like this unironically, it is the most worthwhile.
"What am I doing with my life?" Marking and carving the fascinating piece of history alive you are stumbling upon. Thank you so much for keeping this wondrous, mysterious and rare gems of people and stories untold from forgetfulness. So much love for all you do.
Baldy, when you meet up with the characters who’ve touched our heart’s and revisit them it means that the world we all wish we could share with our neighbors as you do, is possible and achievable. Thank you for doing what you do.
This is one of the most heart warming, soul clenching videos I've ever watched. It haunts and grips my heart to see these folks in the middle of nowhere, who seem to be lacking in so many fundamental ways, yet they are so grateful... they live their lives with an impoverished but calm resilience. And when they see you, they are so warm and grateful. It really is a lesson in humanity to see these people, that against all odds, cling fiercely to their way of life.
The way they invited you inside and gave all the eggs reminded me so much of my childhood spent on the Polish countryside and it warmed my heart! All the older people living around would always invite you and give you food. The older I am, the more I appreciate the slavic culture :,) Thank you for your videos
@@Tomasz_Piekarski yeah. Because those people value interactions with a new person. And vice versa, people in big cities are saturated with these emotions, because the get to meet new people every day
I'm an Aussie who grew up in Australia in the 60's and we had an old Polish woman who lived up our street. As kids we would visit her and she'd always give us her home made cakes while sitting at her kitchen table. She was very old, all alone and couldn't speak English. I think she loved us kids coming around to visit, she had ducks, chickens and her backyard was a jungle of fruit trees and veges
She was Russian, and not Belarusian. They are typically remnants of KGB sent from Moscow that are still living there. Frankly, I think the Belarusians should get rid of them.
@@polina5520 She probably lives in Belarus for a long time now since Soviet occupation, so has Belarusian influence. But she is definitely Russian, her face is Russian and the way she behaves herself. Belarusians and Ukrainians do not behave like that, they are genetically, culturally and linguistically different from Russians. Russians are not Slavic, and not European.

@@avoxd6848 Seriously? Комитет Государственной Безопасности. Committee for Citizen's Safety. Or, Committee for State Security, depending on how you want to translate it. Belarus is the most repressive country in Europe, they still have the death penalty and they've had the same President since 1992.
Benjamin I’ve been binging your videos for two days now. I remember watching you prior to now but I didn’t realize just how good of a channel you have until now. You’re doing Gods work spending time with these people you’ve met along your travels.
18:44 I would watch every episode of Belarus with Kolya and babuskha no matter how similar and repetitive. Think I speak for most of us regular watchers.
Martial Liam я тоже говорю по русски. I’m also speaking Russian. Il rate balds Russian 6/10 comparing with native speakers. Although he speaks much better than average foreigner
You earned my subscription with today's video. I have mad respect for someone who would do what you did for those people. I don't care if you just did it for the likes, or for the adventure, or for whatever reason you did it. It was magnificent!
Wonder if old Kolya is doing alright. I still remember him saying something like “thank god we don’t have war”. Speaks a lot about how these people have suffered, but nothing compares to war. God bless him.
I feel a sense of sadness at the end of this video when you say it’s maybe time to see another country. I understand that too but I will forever think of the people you have come back and shown to us in those villages of Belarus. You have a way of taking us on the journey with you and making us feel a part of it. Maybe this is the perfect way to end the adventures in Belarus. Thank you 🙂
i feel bad for kolya that poor old man, he just wanted a hug from bald or to hang out for a minute. He probably never gets any visitors..... instead balds all worried about corona. like really. last person in the world that would have it is kolya and balds already been tested multiple times.
@@Lunar4 I think he's more concerned about passing it on to these remote areas as the results could be catastrophic. You don't have to be positive yourself to be carrying the virus!
You’re a middle aged man visiting people so many have forgotten or turned away from, bringing them food and drinks and money and better still, company. Coming back after a year to visit. You’re doing amazing things with your life my friend. I have so much respect for you. On a less serious note, you also taught yourself Russian. As someone doing the same (my fiancé was born in Izhevsk) that alone is a feat!
When I saw that 73 old man shaking because of his illness I thought of my parents who are in their early 60s and I left them alone somewhere in eastern Europe. I pray God give me the opportunity to return one day and take care of them.
The “Shaking” that Kolya experienced (in other videos as well) is a strong withdrawal symptom of alcohol abuse. In the other Video where he visited Kolya again and brought him vodka the shivers stopped as soon as he took a sip. You can observe this a few moments later as well while they are sitting in his house. But aside from all of that, have you heard he has people that care for him now? :)
@@bromisovalum8417 youre probably right, I was just speaking about the shivers/the shaking bc im an alcoholic as well and know these shivers, luckily way not as strong as the shivers that kolya was experiencing but they‘re uncomfortable enough

Thanks for translation
That touched my heart. Must have been one solid friendship!
👋Thank you for the translation.
Very kind of you, I wonder what was written.
Imagine the whole situation from babushka's perspective. Every once in a while a kind stranger from foreign lands shows up at your doorstep and comes with gifts. The whole thing is so wholesome, best part of the whole B&B experience!
Kind stranger from foreign lands lol , sounds like lord of the rings or something 🤣..
I find it amazing that the babushka is 93 years old and still has that lucidity and energy
That is radiation for you
she is not poisoned by the modern world
living in nature without stress
@Carpe Diem Thank you for the fact, I will always keep eggs in my diet now because of your comment!
They say when you stop working and moving around is when death has time to catch up to you.
Imagine living in the remote wilds of Belarus for 90+ years only to have some random bald Englishman show up out of nowhere not once, but twice...
I think 3 Times
That's a real brother from another mother
J Flora when the old guy talk did his spit went to the camera around 3:18 or so
Not even twice but trice.
Just a random guy who comes by and gives you vodka, sausage and money. Like a slavic tooth fairy
From now on when someones tells me how to act
-Are you KGB?
-no
-Have a good day then , bye
Hell yeah
I’ve been doing this ha
Let oss know howe IT vorks out
Guys she is not Belarusian, she is Russian.

This youtube is probably one of a few that they show us truth and are being honest, unlike others fixing everything and pretending to be generous. Thank you for the honesty! Well done helping those people! May god bless and protect you.
Man , that old lady is like the salt of the earth!,
93 and still going strong.
It must have been hard not to give her a hug
11:31 When she said "Let me feed you" and instinctively held her heart 🥺🥺
Yeah!
Most grandparents are like that, just not in the west
Reminded me of my grandmother
She was the sweetest 😢😭

There are few people you can watch 3 videos of and say "wow I can see the kind of person you are". I have met someone like you before in real life, it is inspiring. This person completely changed my world. Ever since he died, I told myself I will go out of my way to be someone to somebody who could use it, expect nothing in return other than the joy of helping someone else. When you live life like this unironically, it is the most worthwhile.
"What am I doing with my life?" Marking and carving the fascinating piece of history alive you are stumbling upon. Thank you so much for keeping this wondrous, mysterious and rare gems of people and stories untold from forgetfulness. So much love for all you do.
Yes and Yes
Well said
💯
Fully agree
U sexy
Baldy, when you meet up with the characters who’ve touched our heart’s and revisit them it means that the world we all wish we could share with our neighbors as you do, is possible and achievable. Thank you for doing what you do.
Kahn Fu-Zhin that is the nicest sentence starting with "baldy" I have ever read.
This is one of the most heart warming, soul clenching videos I've ever watched. It haunts and grips my heart to see these folks in the middle of nowhere, who seem to be lacking in so many fundamental ways, yet they are so grateful... they live their lives with an impoverished but calm resilience. And when they see you, they are so warm and grateful. It really is a lesson in humanity to see these people, that against all odds, cling fiercely to their way of life.
felt too real. it hurt him too you could tell
People who have the least share the most, because they know what is like to have barely anything to scrap by.
Well said
@@xltomasslx My eyes welled up with what you said.
Best comment of the video.
Man... you're generosity is making me choke up here... "Let me fill your bag full of eggs!" 😢🙏God bless you Ben
The way they invited you inside and gave all the eggs reminded me so much of my childhood spent on the Polish countryside and it warmed my heart! All the older people living around would always invite you and give you food. The older I am, the more I appreciate the slavic culture :,) Thank you for your videos
Yeah, people used to be much more hospitable then.

@@Domee894 Not only then but THERE. The smaller and more remote place you go, the better!
@@Tomasz_Piekarski yeah. Because those people value interactions with a new person.
And vice versa, people in big cities are saturated with these emotions, because the get to meet new people every day
i am also really miss my past culture and great older people
I'm an Aussie who grew up in Australia in the 60's and we had an old Polish woman who lived up our street. As kids we would visit her and she'd always give us her home made cakes while sitting at her kitchen table. She was very old, all alone and couldn't speak English. I think she loved us kids coming around to visit, she had ducks, chickens and her backyard was a jungle of fruit trees and veges
0:45 You found the Belarusian Karen.
Very rare indeed
OMG LOL
Permit Patty.
He thinks she is KGB
I love when he said to that KGB wannabe in Russian “This is no longer USSR you know that right?” You nailed it bro
She was Russian, and not Belarusian. They are typically remnants of KGB sent from Moscow that are still living there. Frankly, I think the Belarusians should get rid of them.
William her accent was not Russian at all
@@super-super- There is KGB in Belorussia now, and there is no KGB in Russia now :)
@@polina5520 She probably lives in Belarus for a long time now since Soviet occupation, so has Belarusian influence. But she is definitely Russian, her face is Russian and the way she behaves herself. Belarusians and Ukrainians do not behave like that, they are genetically, culturally and linguistically different from Russians. Russians are not Slavic, and not European.

you can literally see the babushka overcome with joy when she realized u came. I kinda teared up. great video
made me wanna cry so bad

The Babushka's reaction was the most wholesome thing ever 🏴❤️🇧🇾
11:40 ''I'm going to pack you some eggs, ok?'' reminded me of my grandma so much. What a precious lady
Precious indeed! Wish I could have a moment like that with babushka..
my grandma is around the same age , she too allways asks me if i want to eat hahaha
That's one of the most wonderful videos I've watched! The babushka's face when she recognised him was just so joyful!

@Bebopman Current Sausage.
Benjamin I’ve been binging your videos for two days now. I remember watching you prior to now but I didn’t realize just how good of a channel you have until now. You’re doing Gods work spending time with these people you’ve met along your travels.
18:44 I would watch every episode of Belarus with Kolya and babuskha no matter how similar and repetitive. Think I speak for most of us regular watchers.
Same here!!
You definitely speak for me! always puts tears in my eyes.
Yup I love how he goes back and checks on them! I think is the 3rd time he’s visited Kolya
These type of episodes are my favorite tbh. I love them all though.
right?? they’re one of my favorite parts of the channel!
Being a Russian speaker, you’ve gotten warmer emotions from the Babushka, than words could ever tell
So I'm wondering, you as a russian speaker. How much would you rate Balds russian on scale from 1 to 10?
@@MartialLiam Solid 5/10, you can always understand what he is saying, he does a lot of mistakes but that doesn't really matter.
@@MartialLiam he got some problems with understanding what people say but as another native speaker I can confirm solid 5/10 score.
Martial Liam я тоже говорю по русски. I’m also speaking Russian. Il rate balds Russian 6/10 comparing with native speakers. Although he speaks much better than average foreigner
@@MartialLiam in NFKRZ video Bald said, that he doesn't care about grammar, so he have a lot of mistakes, but his vocabulary is pretty good - 6/10
- A gipsy lives here
+ Oh fack!
- Im the gipsy

XD
I laughed so hard...
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😅😅
lmfao
I'd have gave him a bottle too.
You earned my subscription with today's video. I have mad respect for someone who would do what you did for those people. I don't care if you just did it for the likes, or for the adventure, or for whatever reason you did it. It was magnificent!
Same like and subscribe people he is good person
I love how he basically tells KGB Karen to piss off.
KGB Karen is my new favourite term
underated comment hahah kgb karen
The Karen's are international
He should have taken this lady back to his hotel room. She wasnt looking this bad...
KGB Karen has absolutely killed me hahahahahaha
These oldies are truly the salt of the earth. Bless them.
Tough as nails. No, tougher. What these old folks lived through, I pray we dont have to find out
I'm just so happy those ppl still exist
Yes, they are.
The babouska is so nice how he treats him like her son after only seeing him twice
Mate it's babushka
@@geewin8473 lol
That’s her job
It’s the same in every Slavic country lol
how sad we are brainwashed into thinking these people are enemys of ours
Wonder if old Kolya is doing alright. I still remember him saying something like “thank god we don’t have war”. Speaks a lot about how these people have suffered, but nothing compares to war. God bless him.
I feel a sense of sadness at the end of this video when you say it’s maybe time to see another country. I understand that too but I will forever think of the people you have come back and shown to us in those villages of Belarus. You have a way of taking us on the journey with you and making us feel a part of it. Maybe this is the perfect way to end the adventures in Belarus. Thank you 🙂
He makes us all feel that we are part of his journey.. Such stupendous storytelling!
i feel bad for kolya that poor old man, he just wanted a hug from bald or to hang out for a minute. He probably never gets any visitors..... instead balds all worried about corona. like really. last person in the world that would have it is kolya and balds already been tested multiple times.
@@Lunar4 exactly!! kolya lives literally in the middle of nowhere, i cant fathom how in the world he out of all people would contract the virus lol
@@Lunar4 I think he's more concerned about passing it on to these remote areas as the results could be catastrophic. You don't have to be positive yourself to be carrying the virus!
@@JackManEveryday stop watching BBC News mate
You’re a middle aged man visiting people so many have forgotten or turned away from, bringing them food and drinks and money and better still, company. Coming back after a year to visit. You’re doing amazing things with your life my friend. I have so much respect for you. On a less serious note, you also taught yourself Russian.

When I saw that 73 old man shaking because of his illness I thought of my parents who are in their early 60s and I left them alone somewhere in eastern Europe. I pray God give me the opportunity to return one day and take care of them.
The “Shaking” that Kolya experienced (in other videos as well) is a strong withdrawal symptom of alcohol abuse. In the other Video where he visited Kolya again and brought him vodka the shivers stopped as soon as he took a sip. You can observe this a few moments later as well while they are sitting in his house. But aside from all of that, have you heard he has people that care for him now? :)
@@lwashere228 It's probably both. It's lifelong alcohol abuse but the leg pain sounds like legit parkinsons.
@@bromisovalum8417 youre probably right, I was just speaking about the shivers/the shaking bc im an alcoholic as well and know these shivers, luckily way not as strong as the shivers that kolya was experiencing but they‘re uncomfortable enough
