I Got Drunk With Lithuania's Most Notorious Gangster đŸ‡±đŸ‡č

  • đŸ‡±đŸ‡č As the USSR entered its final stages, law and order began to break down and there began a period which has since been called the period of 'Bandit Capitalism'. This was a period when gangs protected by tough sambo fighters and boxers from the different republics began to form and to exploit the new riches that were to be found in the burgeoning capitalist era. One of those gangs was known as the Vilnius Gang which had a fierce reputation in Lithuania and further afield.
    I have always been fascinated by that short period of history and how those gangs operated and so when I was invited into a former member of the Vilnius Gang's home, well I of course accepted. Fortunately my bodyguard @JohnnyFD was with me. This would possibly be the night he would earn his usual $7 fee.
    Thanks to everyone at Azerai cafe in Vilnius who allowed us to film the evening ( best food in Vilnius and Soviet vibes ) and huge thanks to Tadeus and Anastasia for their hospitality and the Soviet presents. Was a pleasure meeting you all.

    I think in general, the more comfortable you look or feel (because it’s difficult to act like you’re comfortable) the higher your status .
    Feeling comfortable in a situation, place, meeting etc..comes from experience . So the more experienced you are the more comfortable you feel and you tend to have a higher status.
    That's one of the reasons Ben can draw people in as he does. There's something magnetic about a person that is in comfortable in any situation, the location and language be damned.

Close to the border with Belarus there's a town called Druskininkai where there is a park called Gruto parkas.

And that is a real difference between you and most people I know, you truly respect these people and it shows.
    Thanks for your videos Bald, you really have helped me develop a profound respect and admiration for the people of Eastern Europe and their culture. They are so generous, I feel like most them would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. They have been treated poorly by history, but they are a strong people and they endure.

    I love how people love to have company and a few drinks and are proud to show off their possessions. Everything has a nice story to go along with it.

      @@LeFrogCage thanks for your input but its lost on me as i very much reside in the present reality. However you have shown yourself to be detached from this reality and have all the traits of a weak beta male with a slave like mentality.
      Regardless of this i would still like to wish you well in the future, you're going to need it!

    What an Epic Bunch! This episode went above and beyond all the flipping expectations! Hilarious and yet astonishing ways of getting along with any person may happen to meet. Notorious, yet well mannered, polite and respectful individual. Benjamin, you are a true authentic value! Also, can't end it without mentioning ...Johnny, a real trooper!
