Back To The USSR | Lost In The Belarus Provinces 🇧🇾

🇧🇾 Wanting to escape Minsk for a bit I took a short trip to a provincial town in Belarus called Bobruisk in search of some of the nation's Soviet past. It didn't take long to find it...

I love when normal people travel and upload their videos to youtube. No script, No managers, No big media bullshit . It can't be better than this.

Some person: breathes next to him
Bald: Soviet breath

You have the curiosity of a child. I admire that.

I must've seen this video at least fifty times or more but I always keep coming back. Something about the rainy atmosphere, the Cafe New Century, catching the train into Bobruisk, exploring the Soviet architecture, and the hotel & restaurant at the end... it's such a typical Bald video but something about it is just so comforting.

imagine being a regular belarusian guy seeing an englishman sitting whispering about soviet at the local bar lol

[kiskebear]

Mr Bald - I stumbled upon your videos by pure chance - and they are by far, some of the best I've seen on YT. Keep up the great work!

[cheetobandito]

Man something about these vlogs just make me feel comfortable and happy.

[mikebailey]

Just found this wonderful series and am binge watching them all. Content like this is what makes youtube so great.

Who else here is on a bald and bankrupt binge session?

[StanislavIvashkevich]

Thank you for showing our country to the world!) It's very interesting to watch your videos! You're great man :)

Me: Ordinary, wooden chairs


Bald: Soviet chairs

"My big regret in my life is that I never saw the Sovjet Union". I totally agree on that one. I went to the region Moscow several times and also visited the countries at the Baltic Sea. I love it there. Your episodes make my smile. I recognize the passion and pleasure I experienced in my travels at the time. The people there are so different from what I see here and read in the media. I would love to travel again with someone like you in the former USSR. You inspire me!

How to spot a foreigner, even if they speak very passable Russian - they say Hello to everyone and even smile. =]

[kennethwong]

the way he travels is how i want to but never had the balls to.

That hotel restaurant was more 1970's than the 1970's.

[xoxocrist]

I remember watching this video a year ago and was like 'why is this guy so obsessed with soviet stuff?'

Me now:
hmm, soviet sink.

[kevincarter]

As an american. Your videos have taught me more about the former soviet republic than I ever was taught in school. Thanks. Great videos

[chole]

[Snper]

Shop keeper: “but I bought this a week ago what :(“
