We Found A Soviet Treasure Trove in Tbilisi | Georgia 🇬🇪 | with @ZacktheRussian

Hello there!

USSR Passport giveaway! In this video I buy an original USSR passport and I intend to give it to one of you! Just leave a comment with the word passport in it by February 25th and I will collect the names for a raffle!

In this video:
@ZacktheRussian and I discover a Soviet treasure trove! Well actually its simply a historical treasure trove, as there are even pre-revolutionary tsarist era items, a bible from 1801, Georgian books about Georgia's own national history and folklore. If you're a book worm than this is your place. We also go to a Pelmennaya restaurant and eat some delicious borscht! Thanks for watching! Remember to subscribe!

If you'd like to support me (no pressure, either way thank you!):

Nick, thanks so much for your great videos. They are inspiring because you seem such a good and honest person. I’m also really glad you and Zak are good friends. I wish you both all the very best

Great video. Nick, you're English is very good. Nice to see Zack- like to see him smiling, as he's been through an amazing journey- with the weight of the world on his shoulders as his homeland declines to the dark ages. Zack- look forward to your video when you get accepted to University in the States. Keep plugging my friend- you will get here- we need you. Nick, keep up the English lessons- oops never mind LOL. Your presentation of Georgia has given me a strong desire to visit there- but that trip is tabled due to world issues right now- which may last a bit. Stay safe!

Nice detail with the PASSPORT. Awesome store

[CriticalityIncident]

Great video. You found a lot of interesting things in that bookstore, especially the PASSPORT.

[schawk]

That's awesome! Especially the Passport.

I would have asked that very sweet lady if she ever posted her historical photos online. What a fascinating day you both had.

[roydaniel]

I absolutely would love that old book store. I go often too one here in St. Augustine Florida. I really enjoy reading the old diaries are very interesting. (Passport). Thank you for the tour

[chrisk]

Old books and even new books can tell stories.

[BMan]

Tbh, you guys and Roman of NFKRZ are an absolute treasure to watch. You both have come across quite some interesting treasures where we wouldn't expect to find any, especially that PASSPORT and that sweet old lady who spoke with you. Keep up the amazing work, fellas!

I also plan to expand my collection of various historical items so I genuinely believe that having an authentic item like that will come in handy.

Great tour guys. That universal book store smell. I think it's called musty ☺️.

[boby]

it crazy what you can find in libraries just like that passport.

[dereknelson]

Great book store... good to see Zack smiling !
...i worry about bookstores as we'd moved into the "Post-Gutenberg Era" in terms of how we get our information...i have wondered if there are any "Bohemian bookstores" in Tbilisi.... anything like City Lights in San Francisco... as the post-Soviet republics are dealing with seismic shifts,
...the SMO has many parallels to the Vietnam draft in the Sixties, and that turbulent time sparked changes... which needed space for conversation...
...there is also a unifying sense of "Soviet" which needs to be acknowledged for what it was and what it wasn't...
Thanks for the tour!...

Wow‼️ it’s @zacktherussian in the wild 🥳😊

[norcalrob]

I enjoyed seeing the bookstore and all the treasures you found. Especially the PASSPORT. Wow! I really enjoyed your talk with the woman who was trained as an architect and now enjoys photography. It's amazing the lucky experiences you have when traveling off the beaten bath. It's good to see you and Zach. Again, I really liked the PASSPORT. Keep up the good videos! Best/Rob

[jerrysartain]

I really appreciate and enjoyed this video immensely. Thanks to you both, tremendous stuff.

[kdexter]

Very beautiful video
Where are you from?
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

[binkster]

You both missed not talking more to that woman, and making it the focus for more, whole video is great!

USSR PASSPORT quite a relic! GIMME PLEASE! As a duel Politics/Economic major and a child of the late Cold War, I find these objects of fascination…would LOVE to possess…my heart is broken - Ukraine is what we hoped 30 years ago would someday be.
