- 🇺🇦 If you would like to visit Chernobyl and explore Pripyat then please visit SoloEast travel at www.tourkiev.com These guys are the best at what they do and will take you where others won't 👍🏻
🇺🇦 Not far from the Chernobyl reactor is the town of Pripyat which housed the plant's workers and was abandoned due to high levels of radiation not long after the disaster. I went there on a miserable winter day to see what traces of the past remained...
“50,000 people us to live here” ohh god he’s gunna say it “now it’s a ghost town” AAAAAHHHHHHH he said it
Considering how much bald is spending time in the radiated zone I expect his hair to start growing soon.
ChaosPrototypeIX I was thinking the same thing
... or something else
He's gonna grow a parasitic twin that looks suspiciously a lot like Harald 🤔
More likely his beard will stop growing, and no more kids in the future.
Sign me up for a visit!
People who have so little seem to share the most.
when your usual youtuber goes missing for 2 weeks; "That lazy fuck" when Bald doesn't publish stuff for 2 weeks; "Hope he is still alive"
I'm alive and being a lazy fuck at the same time )
@@baldandbankrupt The amount of consistent content you've provided for us is astounding..Have a break bald recharge the batteries
Benjamin, it was very nice to organize this trip for you.
Igor. SoloEast.
Thankyou Igor and SoloEast- we really appreciate your efforts
This comment should have way more upvotes
did that radiation detector give you a bit of a scare?
Be careful of radiation Igor
I remember being in that place, I was being chased by dogs and I had to single handedly fend off an army with a sniper rifle by the Ferris wheel
Anu cheeki breeki
Really? Good for you. Bloody blood suckers.
Pfft, newbie. When I went there, I fought Putin on a war tiger. 600 feet above ground. An army? I fight those everyday during my breakfast break.. tsk. Weaklings really think that's a proper feat.
Have you ever been treated for schizophrenia?

Knowing Bald, the mad lad probably spent this last 2 weeks trying the book the Wuhan tour
Who else wanted him to press a piano key 😅

Ciara ooh well then grandma just feeds you human
not in bolivia
@@karmicvibez6377 You mean Colombia... where bald almost got killed.
Got to love how the grandmother even in her poverty puts out much food for her guests. It's a custom.
It seems they brought the food for her though?
In an Eastern European home, when you arrive, even if you just finished a 7 course meal 15min prior. "You're hungry, eat, eat, eat my son!!" This is tradition and at first, if you are not used to it, its a bit strange. Until you realize, this is how warm and inviting these people are. I visited Poland in 2008 and experienced just the same. Even here in the US, when you go to an Eastern European family's grandmothers home, you are met with the same thing. Out comes the plastic wrapped plates of leftovers, cookies and cakes come out of nowhere, drinks make their way to the table, hugs, kisses and chatter fill the room. Its pretty awesome to be honest. The US as a whole needs to get back to this way.
In Poland and... I believe in Ukraine, we say "gosc w domu, Bog w domu" which translate to "guest in home, God in home". We love to share food, drink and make people welcomed.
Brian Streufert Absolutely correct. My grandmother was German and she always brought out, as you said, cookies and cakes. She always made sure that you had enough and left with enough. To them, seeing you’re happy and satisfied is their happiness.
@@StreuB1 America has too much of a 'fuck you, I got mine' vulture capitalist mentality. Americans don't even have the basics like healthcare sorted yet never mind letting random guests eat with them.
God bless that old lady. She can barely see, and still gets around like a champ! God bless Bald as well for drinking her home made shine.
When his Geiger counter beeps it's actually counting the amount of times he says "Soviet."
Regular old basketball: “Old Soviet basketball”
Koen Mohr To be fair to Soviet guy, there aren’t that many places where you can find a basketball in the USSR that has stood still for like 40 years straight

**SOVIET NATIONAL ANTHEM**
hey shan are u from younow? i recognize your profile picture.
Universal language of Grandmothers is " Eat Eat Eat"
so true 😂
Omg yeah 😂they don't understand I'm full .they hear my food not good in the trash it go . U like I just said I'm full I had 4 helpings 😞😓. Don't tell them I'm full when there a lot left over just eat and throw up later or hide it some how
Perhaps grandmas experienced being hungry.
😊
Grandmas really are gems. Doesn't matter if you're actually their grandchildren they just naturally love to care and nourish people with love, food and generosity
That babuska was soooo cuteeee, it’s amazing how some of the people who live some of the hardest lives are the sweetest.
She was lovely and so hospitable
Every time you post there’s a slight relief you’re still ALIVE!😂
HAHAHA yeah true
I much prefer to see him in the Old Soviet Nuclear Wasteland than Africa
Lol, my thought exactly 😂😂
Isn't this prerecorded? 4 Days ago he was on a Tour in Africa and now he's in Pripyat? So who knows :( :P
This is soooooo true!!!
That shot of radiated moonshine gonna give him hair 😂
Or make his beard fall out. Why not both?
Tommy green hair lol
Lmao roasted
Novichok moonshine 🤣 🥂
Or an extra arm, who knows!
"All Ghillied Up" springs to mind .
Is anyone else worried about where bald is?! It’s been two weeks since the last video!! I’ve not known what to do with myself, I’ve even started speaking to my mum, turns out she doesn’t work at Woolworths anymore
He just posted "Alive" 14 hours ago, answering Scraf
under this video.
lol
He’s fine as of yesterday! On his Instagram he posted about Kolya merch. He had me worried too
Hes chilling in prague
he put a comment upp for 19hours ago saying, (To all the people asking, yes I am alive! Just chilling out for a month or so in wet and cold Europe. Back with USSR videos when temperatures warm up a little. Remember to follow my insta stories for updates 'realbaldandbankrupt'. And also don't follow any of the fake facebook profiles. I don't have a facebook account. Hope to see you all soon after a little bit of chill time. 👍🏻)
Grandmother: "Not for alcoholism but for medicinal purposes". Just love that!
My grandpa used to say exactly the same
That's wisdom...lol...
That's the Slavic culture and hospitality. ;-)
Gonna say this to the officemates from now on, when they catch me pouring JD in my coffee ;)
@@mariankohn8411 :) Definitely!!! The babushka offering salo, cucumbers and samagon just reminded me of three days ago... in a bar... 30 min North of Moscow... I got a big piece of salo as a gift to take home... just for the sake of our first meeting... where the guys offered me the same treats... first time with chacha...second time with samagon... this is Russia :)
Igor’s sigh of relief when the gate opened 😂 He was legit scared for a moment.
For real had a laugh at that, he looked genuinely relieved
Maybe it was good joke from Igor :)
Surely he has passed that gate thousands of times
gotta scrub off you skin if you fail
Henrik Michelsson doubt he goes there in his spare time
That COD4 reference. I love it!
Almost everything in this world makes me not like people...then Bald comes on and makes me love all the people he meets. You're one of the greats Bald!
- Why did you decide to come back to your house and your village?
- “Could you replace your own mother with me? - of course you could not. Well this is my homeland, I was born here in my homeland and my graveyard will be here as well”
Such melancholic certainty, but I admire her.
It was beautiful, and to the point.

i love how the babushka pours out half a litre of moonshine for our boy, and then she proceeds to sip just a little frickin' teaspoon of the thing lmao.
I love the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" reference in the beginning, 100%!

darth penguin old generation was more fun cause everyone’s mic was public, now in current gen you barely hear anyone cause they are in private chats that’s why it’s not as much fun anymore imo
I’ve sniped a dudes arm off here way back in the day

@@skumuk3876 ok
Oh that was you!!!!
then you jumped up to run off and got blew up by my proxy mine i left at the door way.
Wtf I had a dream last night about a dude who shot his arm off wtf
I can’t believe how kind and generous these people are who have very little but give so much. I don’t know what’s gone wrong with the rest of us. I love the videos where you go to the people’s house and visit with those who know and tell you the truth. I was hungry looking at those fresh biscuits and potatoes. 👍🏻
6:22 put me behind the Ferris wheel so I can provide sniper support
11:46 Igor had the longest 5 seconds of his life. lmao.
😂
In addition to full responsibility, the guide assumes all radiation exposure
Igor, his guide :)
@@igorbodnarchuk428 Thanks of keeping Bald safe! Take care
hmmm...Babushka while handing the moonshine: "I can barely see.." Indeed you're a brave man Bald!
thats what I thought. that old methanol.
@@urtyp6596 that old soviet methanol.
I thought I was the only one thinking this. I would not even try that. Need to make sure he's ok when he posts the next video
I think she was joking with him somewhat lol. She seemed to pour it just fine
The little Soviet children playing Soviet sports so they can stand on the little Soviet podium to receive their little Soviet medals.
*USSR MUSIC BLARES IN THE BACKGROUND
"I drink Japanese style" had me cracking up 😂
*Sees dust*
"Old Soviet dust!"
Even the air was soviet!
Soviet dust collectivizing into Soviet dust bunnies.
“Could you replace your own mother with me”
What a powerful line.
Nama R Most powerful line ✌🏼
When old people were wise and we listened to them.....now we are all idiots and we elect even bigger idiots to make decisions for us.....
That Babushka was lovely what amazing spread of food and moonshine she had for them...so sad..her moonshine was bloody powerful 🤯☺️..
I was in Pripyat in May last year. I found it utterly fascinating, eery, sad but oddly beautiful in parts. Nature reclaiming the buildings. :)
His jacket was green before he came to Pripyat.
and he had hair
🤣
And his head is transforming.
@@r.m.2598 it's okay , just needs a polish every now and then .

3:45 You are probably the first person ever after all those years, to throw that basketball into that hoop...
Let that sink in.
Well, he sure sunk it.
You can see yourself out...
Yung Pollock out
why the fuck do i need to let the sink in? how did it get out?
/s
50.000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town. Always gives me goosebumps.
Very natural sounds in the background and not having some stupid crazy music. It's a very nice video. I watched all of your video overall Good.
Bald: “Welcome to... that level from call of duty.”
Capt. MacMillan approves.
flashbacks of bloc!
Scoured the comments for this. Thought surely someone else would think the same
English Ant I was sad that the dogs weren’t in the swimming pool
That swimming pool!!! Damn looks identical!
Theory:
Bald got kidnapped in Africa for filming, they accidentally finished an upload when powered on and by wifi.
He replied to a comment 2 minutes ago, or maybe those were the kidnappers
My theory: kidnappers are posting his old videos and pretend to be him.
Nah, he's probably tucked up somewhere safe in Algeria editing old footage. Tomorrow - on to visit the pirates in Somalia!
They left Africa and went to Tehran 😨
@@Bystander333 that would be something, wouldnt be even surprised at this point
This channel is an absolute treasure. Really, truly appreciative of this content.
Your narration of the locations you visit is able to upscale them past the level of a vlog to that of a documentary. I fully appreciate how you bring your travels to life. Thank you
"Look at this place, fifty-thousand people used to live in this city, now it's a ghost town..." - Captain MacMillan, Modern Warfare (2007)
Haha yeah bald trying to rip off some quality mw quotes
I miss the golden cods
Wasn't it captain Price?
Best cod along with waw and mw2. I reflect on them days fondly.
I thought the same thing. Hheheheheh we will let him have it. He's pretty Badass as MW
Little Soviet children receiving their little Soviet medals on the little Soviet podium...
...on their little Soviet necks, in a little Soviet town, in the little Soviet Union.
Phone Phone in a little Soviet house of culture with their little Soviet parents smiling their little Soviet smiles.
Under a little soviet sky, warmed by the little soviet sun surrounded by many little soviet friends
He love the word soviet.
Haha I have not laughed as I have reading this! Little soviet basketball. Haha
2:17 Bald: "I've just stepped into a music shop."
Me: "A what?"
"A mus-"
"A what?"
* trembling * "A-an old soviet music shop"
"That's better"
It's a beautiful thing that you do, visiting these elderly folks for whom little changes from one month to the next. I bet making the food and sharing her booze with you created a memory that she'll cherish.
11:52 Igor relieved that he survived radiation... again :D
Vitali Ger I think his acting:)
@@IrrationalDelusion im really curious to know whether he did it as a joke or really is relieved
alex11stefan i too think it is acting. Igor does this tours on a daily basis i guess, so for him those radiation checks are normal. But for the viewers he made a little joke :)
@@vitg9721 I don't know... It's his job and I'm sure he loves it. What if he can't come back one of theses days as in consequence of radiation exposure?
i think its real because the machine tong long enough too scan his body...
When he hopped off that African train he just found himself again in Chernobyl
He put this up because he couldn't show exactly what type of work he was doing at the Russian mine.
I’d rather be in Chernobyl than Africa, deadly serious
he travels through wormholes. he borrowed h.g. wells whip.
@@AntedianDignitary no you wouldn't, not some places in Africa. But Mauritania? Definitely Chernobyl is better lol
Declan O'Cuidighthigh stop generalising the whole of Africa it’s not a country.
Big fan of the way you travel with such respect and empathy for those you meet, respect mate.
0:43 when the radiation kicks in
I think the radiation was quite high all the time but Bald decided not to include the noise at all times.
@@I33nc3 i think his comment was about that drop of water on the lense that made bald look like a mutant^^
Lmao
Bald is smokin on that radiation pack
😂👍
I got worried when the machine took a little while on Igor 😮

@gary jones shiiiit, i thought the same exact thing 😄
I acctualy cant believe i got 100 likes on this comment, thank you guys you have made my day
🤣🤣🤣
more hospitality then my neighbors in their million-dollar houses
Wealthy people i have encountered are very rude. It is those who are humble and have a hard living, that have shown the biggest hearts and humility. I'd rather live in Pripyat than amongst rich people.
@@karmicvibez6377 From my experience, those with money have always been kinder to me. Poor people have always been more ignorant and rude.
There are good and bad with both rich and poor
Right!
Probably has more to do with isolation. Time to party it up when you get a visitor.

I celeBRATE you!!
Thank you for being just real, no need to cut or distort any second or situation.That‘s what makes your digital presence special nowadays.
Ah yes! I remember the fun we used to have in the 3rd grade kalashnikov assembly class.
Took a little longer to open for Igor, he seemed quite relieved haha
My English is not the best I hope I can write correctly and understand what I want to tell you. You are a good guy, nice to take nice trips on your travels, explain to us beautifully what you are experiencing and your videos are epic. a taste of what you experience every time
May God give you health and strength so that you do not stop traveling and make us have a great time watching your experiences each time.

Greetings from Greece!
Wherever Bald travels to in the world he somehow always ends up in bloody Chernobyl!
0:54, damn radiation hitting hard
Really hope those older babushkas are happy in life.. kinda breaks my heart
They are happy when others are happy
Small towns throughout America have grandmas with that mindset. Im a home medical equipment tech and have met alot of people in my state that live an hour from a proper grocery store and a lot of those people have treated me like family.
I've seen so much pripyat video's in the last couple of years!! But this video is the best so far!! I've never seen video's with old Soviët television in it!! I really like your video's and how you take care of Kolya!! Keep up this good work especially the Soviët video's i love them!!
I need to see more of your videos! missing them! Hope you having a great break.

I like how Bald pays attention to every detail when he visits a soviet country. He dressed red, his face got red too.
he's becoming a chameleon.....'or a ''chemical' eleon''
Just cherry cheeks.

Check ig
hes good
When an irradiated wasteland is a thousand times safer than saharan Africa...
well, not for the right reasons
Hahahha
Nuclear fears are way overblown. Including probable eventual cancer deaths, less than 1% of people irradiated will die prematurely from the Chernobyl accident. Most of the 30+ firefighters died mostly from burns. Meanwhile, the fear in the evacuee population has, buy various means, reduced their life expectancy from 65 to 58.... aeon.co/ideas/fear-of-radiation-is-more-dangerous-than-radiation-itself
@SURFACES for Mural Visionaries It's because his last videos were in Mauritania, and they didn't paint a too flattering picture of it.
jaja i am South African and i agree lol. even we better
“God be with you and safe journey , my son !”
(Tears )
I am worried about you! Since you were in Mauritania I haven't heard any news about you at all. Please just give us a sign that you are ok!! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Only just found your channel and I absolutely love it. You're an absolute madman.

Watching again 2 years later. This is you tube gold, and its popularity will probably out live all of us in the years and decades to follow.
I get the feeling this channel is getting off its chronological order.
You're right. Scraping the barrel from old footage I suppose.
So he didn't take the Saharan desert train to Ukraine? What am I missing ?!

Who the fuck is cutting onions?
Oof, glad you're still alive brother, been checking your channel everyday for an update and was relieved to see you responded to a few comments. Enjoy your vacation, looking forward to watching your future adventures.
What an incredible honor it is to meet these people.
"could you replace your own mother with mine?" Best response I've seen to why people return to live in Chernobyl.
Very poignant
That hit right in the heart for me. You imagine being told to pack up and leave your own city, never to return seeing this grandmother living out there, doing her best to make a happy life, with the very little she has.
it made me smile when granny said, "i brewed that myself", and her eyes lit up lol
Yes, it takes little work at it, but the end result lights up your eyes and head also, plus you can live with the hangover. :-)
How strong is that home brew?... "I can barely see what I'm doing."
So glad you returned cant wait to see your old friend again if he's still around!!!
Goddamn you actually opened with those famous words, 10/10
Bald must be setting a world record with how many times 'soviet' was mentioned in 1 video.
Nah he broke the record in much earlier records
