The second part of the story abt Churchill and Stalin involving the brandy (coniac) „Ararat” is:
Churchill noticed that the brandy he used to receive from Stalin gradually was getting worse and worse. So, he found out that the chief of the factory that produce the brandy has been sent to gulag (soviet labour camps in Siberia). So Churchill wrote Stalin and asked to restore the old chief to the factory so he could get the old good taste of his favorite brandy. Stalin recalled that man and put him back to the leadership of the factory. Since then everybody was happy and the chief of the factory even got a medal from Stalin. Thats what legends say... ))
Great story
... and rumour has it that the chief kept a Churchill's portrait in his lounge room until the end of his life:)))
Alcohol can save life’s, who would have thought 😂 🍻 cheers

Lmfao i saw the scenario being played out perfectly in my head as clear as day XD
i love how he took his cab driver out for dinner!
what a bloke
yeah that was quality there.
Armenian HOSPITALITY
I thought I was the only one who noticed that 🤣 it’s funny how he carried the taxi driver around everywhere he went
Yes it's part of the culture, when you're with a taxi driver they become part of your group, it's quite funny as a tourist but that's how it is in Armenia and Lebanon and presumably other places
not to mention it probably costed him almost nothing so why not
9:24 you invited the taxi driver for dinner! Respect!

It's so good! You can find it online. Super king market.
Hiii Bald I’m an Armenian viewer 🤗🇦🇲 And I want to thank you for paying your respects at the genocide memorial 🥺❤️ Lots of appreciation
It was so sad and poignant with the fresh carnations laid out on the stone in tribute. Words cannot express. . .
Doğancan Bediz the fact that you guys take every opportunity to say its not a genocide despite the undeniable amount of evidence provided, shows what an arrogant people you are.
Lucky you living in America and not Armenia eh. Have you ever visited Armenia?
Didnt even know one happened there until now, guess that just shows my ignorance
I am from turkey but i accept the genocide and i am so sorry about the doings in the past not every one in turkey think bad about armenians but yes a lot of the hatered grew from erdogans regimes and his denial of the genocide just added fire to the problem. I wish two countries would be friends and i would very much like to visit there but i am a little affraid to get hate over there but anyways love from turkey to armenians love you all

When mr Bald gets quarantined at home, he will still make videos: trip to my kitchen, this toilet has no paper, my crazy soviet neighbour, i met this crazy dude in my home, etc.
LOL, yep he is on auto-pilot.
I’d be a bit concerned about the last one...
He’s gonna freak out because he doesn’t have a Soviet kitchen!
You all know at some point there will be a drunk in his house and he will somehow have a old soviet bus stop inside his house😂

I always love the spontaneity in his videos. Nothing ever seems to get him down and he sees a bright side to every situation. Flight delayed or cancelled? No problem, just jump in a cab and take a tour of wherever you happen to be at the time. Always great to watch and very interesting. Hope he visits again and for a longer time.
Who here would still watch Balds videos if he vlogged his back garden back in the uk, so long as he stays safe.
I am watching his reruns. I would watch and listen to him sitting in his rocker petting “Fidel” the kitten 😻
Where the fuck is the man?
"Here's this beautiful soviet watering hose. Shame they got rid of the Soviet Union init."
totally would, though there are about 6-10 vids i havent seen yet gonna binge watch them and proceed to feel withdrawal from the lack of a wonderful view of soviet rocks and soviet birds xd
I agree. He should make an update video about how he's getting along back in the U.K.
Hey comrades. For those who don't follow me on Instagram, I have to leave the country due to the crazy corona situation with borders closing every day. Bummer as I wanted to make some films here but I will be back once it calms down. Anyway I made a quick film this afternoon for you.

Hey Bald. I was wondering when you visit the stans. We're Soviet too, well used to be. You can find a lot of Soviet stuff there too. I'm from Uzbekistan. We have lots of abandoned buildings and bad roads that we need you to show to the world so that the corrupt government can do something about it. The system is still Soviet. You can bribe officials or anyone to do something. You'll find a lot of rich people who will be willing to show you around but don't accept their invitations. Just do your thing. That's what we love. They don't show you what they don't want the world to see. The stans for those who don't know: Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan. The stan means "the people of" some say it means land.
This summer I have a big Stans tour planned so see you there...

Thank you so much for paying respect to the Armenians who were murdered in 1915. It really meant a lot. God bless you
lf you suggest that the Turks were in any way complicit in the death of the Armenians during the Great War you'll find what the inside of a Turkish prison looks like in no time.

Insulting the Taxi driver if you wear a seatbelt. Best thing I've heard in a long time.😂😂😂😂😂😂
I struggle with even the most mundane of conversations and this guy effortlessly comes up with brilliant questions such as "what do you say in your language if you make a mistake or something" (around 4:45). To some viewers it's so simple, nothing special, just a throwaway question. But it's so brilliant as an insight into the culture, it keeps people engaged, and as viewers it's a genuinely interesting question to which we're eager to hear the answer. What a seriously fantastic channel this is- we're all better off with it and I hope you (B&B) understand that your adventures have hit on something of interest and value to this bizarre culture that is humanity.

If you are to complain that Armenians did that, then don't be a hypocrite and also complain that the Jews did the same thing too. Or even take the Rwandan Genocide, same thing happened. Victims began attacking back as a self defense. Double standards is the world's worse enemy.
