Dutch Arctic explorer Willem Barentsz in 1596: "I discovered a previously unknown island in the Arctic zone and gave it the name Spitsbergen. This will be the greatest discovery for European geography"
Also Russians and Vikings on Svalbard in 1194: "First time here?"

I grew up in Longyearbyen. Have visited both the Pyramid (town the Russian had for coal mining, now not inhibited, you wrongly showed some pictures of it), and Barentsburg many times. There's alot of connection between Longyearbyen and Barentsburg. We've often visit each other and have cultural events both in Barentsburg and Longyearbyen ☺️

Some of those photos are from the town Pyramiden the other Russian settlement up there. I feel like you should disclose this better. Visiting Pyramiden is way more interesting as its basically like a visit to Pripyat without the radiation concerns.

Ah yes, every city/town needs a bust of Vladimir Lenin for the children

Russia: "It's free Real estate "

[fredrikwiik]

Hey dude, i`m from Norway, and i know that every transactions in Svalbard has to be done with norwegian money. Meaning that also Barentsburg has to use norwegian money just like the others who live in Norway. They are not alowed to use russian money..

You really should have said "this video is sponsored by wendover productions, check out their new podcast at the link in the description" or something along those lines

You're mixing up two different Russian cities in Svalbard: Barentsburg and Pyramiden. The last one is (almost) abandoned.
