🇷🇺Sometimes Russia throws up some crazy experiences and yesterday was such a day when I discovered an ancient church located somewhere on the edge of Europe. The building was beautiful but the inside was just weird... Oh and I had to escape from a Russian village.
in england they drive on the left side,in my country we drive on whats left
OK I loled
10/10
Okay this is epic
Recycled comment
Lol
His vlogs are like vivid dreams. Stepping inside a church covered in potatoes and then meeting an old priest in the balkony who says some vague words while just watching the horizon
Fever dreams
@@Despotic_Waffle russian dreams
Soviet Twin Peaks
Why vague, said quit alright
Shayan Poordian I’m surprised Bald didn’t ask the loser clergyman about the desecrated church
Damn, that priest didn't know he was going to be bagging out Putin with a 1 million viewers seeing it.
R.i.p
poor guys probably in the gulag now as we speak. Anyways good vid
Did he end up surving the poisonous potatoes he ate at dinner a week later?
maybe it was a contra comment...? ; )
Cut down on the arrogance your beginning to have for your surroundings.
"babushka down!"
i died
she was drunk probably
Walks in the most dangerous neighbourhoods in the world with his wallet out with no problem.
Won't sing and dance in front of friendly 30 people village.
You are right
Yeah he should have enjoyed the party by sharing what an English man have.
They were so friendly and welcoming... It probably would have made their year tho hear something..... Kinda disappointed.
Literally could have sang Happy Birthday and they woulda loved it.
@@michaelm9570 I can see Bald making a show singing 'And did those feet in ancient time...' or something or other. Would've been fun. But alas.
Please add a map to your videos so we can see where you are! Upvote if you agree 👍
@@CallieMasters5000 I get the feeling Bald values his privacy :)
Great idea
Yeah I like this idea, I tend to search up these places myself just to see where they are, would be cool if he just added them in the video
I try to Google it when he talks, but it's hard to understand the suka xd
@@CallieMasters5000 hhaha. so true.
Best channel on youtube without a doubt, you take us to places 99.9% of us would never get to go to, thank you for opening our eyes!
💯
Well someone has to do it.😂😂
Yaakov? Is that you?!
Cant believe Bald didnt grace that village with a lovely English song. I was thinking maybe some spice girls
He have to get back there and finish his mission.
I would have left too 😂
I can't imagine why he didn't ask the priest about the potatoes :(
I was hoping he would have talked more with him.
They are for vodka
And idk why i feel bad for that priest 😔
Inside the stone church is dry and cool, these are ideal conditions for potatoes.
Cuz its not potato. It is "ceramsite"
You have to go back to that village and sing them a song
vojvoda draza borat defenitly
Exactly that's what I've came here, to say that he should go back there and if no dance then at least sing for them! Maybe they've never heard or seen English man?? Why the hell not??
C'mon! Sing a lil ditty for the babushkas!
Let they remember forever their Village Day! 😁
I don't know if that's common in other countries, but in my country (Poland) we are saying that someone did English leaving (like leaving without saying goodbye - maybe like hard Brexit 🤣). Mr. Bald gave bright sample 😉

This comment should be top 1 😂😂😂
😂😥🇬🇷 soo truee ..
Hahahahaha.
lol
“Would you mind doing a little song and dance in english for us?”
*Bald left the lobby*
Haha in Poland we have this saying when someone sneaks out of party "leave like an Englishman" xD
In Russian too)
@@shv06 This only proves that English dudes throughout out the history sneaked out from the parties all over the world. ;) Bald here cultivates finest English traditions. :)
@@Bridgekeeper Haha, yeah)))))))
@@Bridgekeeper sneak off with the wives :]
He supports old English tradition))
I'm a Russian correspondent and I've come to Brighton to see if we can hear a bald Englishman sing !
HAHA
you loled me. thanks, sir
Definitely a Spy...
in Russia we dont say "take French leave" we say "take English leave" (уйти по-английски)
and now i know exactly why
They must’ve joked about it and had a good laugh about this after he left 😂
Also in Hungary
We just say go awol.. absent without leave.
Im sure we did say "take French leave"
Back in 1900s though.
Love from UK
In America we call it an Irish goodbye hahaha
"part ways English-style"
6:50 The man wasn’t just chopping wood he was chopping SOVEIT WOOD!!!
Bald: tells taxi driver to drive in direction of recent gun shots.
Also Bald: runs away and leaves town when asked to sing a song for the local village.
@Bedrocker Don No , its not pathetic, its not ideal, but did you think youd ever find an ideal person,
if you do, someone cut out the video of the less then ideal bits
or dressed up in a hollywood costume
i wish you be a little less hard on the world, then youll become less hard on your self
@Bedrocker Don no need to be so metallic on the surface man,
im just saying things ive heard other people say to me and others thousands of times
its not like i put plutonium in your chest
@Bedrocker Don where do you get your plutonium, mine doesn't taste sweet... good plutonium is hard to come by in Sweden. btw, now we have NSA on our backs,
they would think this is terrorist code for something.
@Bedrocker Don same to you man!
@@torrace12 LeSS HaRD being the key words there
I feel bad for the priest. He seemed sad
Niko Okin at least he has plenty of potatoes
He’s trying to attract Irishman
The vodka isnt ready yet
@@ramiyanes8607 he will never go hungry
@Niko Okin legit almost made me tear up. I am orthodox and we cant even get a priest where we are.. and here he is without a flock.
Those two women were singing the songs of souls full of hope and happiness... really heart warming ❤️❤️❤️
And then he scared the living hell out of them! BRAVO!!! LOL
My Canadian passport says I was born in Ust-Kulom😄 You can see cows walking home on roads and log houses everywhere. I lived there when I was little but then we moved near the capital of Komi-Syktyvkar, where majority speaks Russian. So I don't speak Komi language but I understand some. My mom and brother are fluent in Komi. It's a very difficult language with 17 cases. In English there are only three. It's a lot different from Russian and related to Finnish language.
Dude! The video could have been "Englishman forced to sing and dance in Russian village" and could have had 22 million views! 😂
So disappointing! Could've been great and continue with the after-party in the Potato-Church or somewhere with all the babushka groupies around him. :)))
@Parma zyxwvu key word "babushka" here.
this village of Komi, Komi - not Slavic they are Finno-Ugric
@@expertlight8603 really? so cool.
You missed a chance! What a shame
Aw man, I can't believe you ran out on the villagers!
He wasn't prepared at all, that's ok :D
@@clownworldhouse you mean didn't have vodka lol. Liquid courage
Aww man, it was a lifetime opportunity to perform some Beatles in front deep Russia
As someone with a bit of anxiety I was surprised to see you back out of the singing invite! It seems like nothing makes you uncomfortable except public speaking! Awesome videos man!
damn it... seeing mr bald dance and sing in front of all those babushkas would of made my whole year
Babushka down! Babushka down!
I was hoping he would do an English dance too
he DEFINITELY has to go back!!!
He had practice doing the mashed potato. Could sing Happy Birthday too.
It would it look like Snoopy doing his happy dance?
The chances of him visiting that village on a day of celebration for that village is insane. Bald should have brought vodka, this would have been a much more interesting video!
Salute to the dude who ran over to try to help grandma up, you the man.
Zero Cool yeah no shit, but others just turned their head so props to him.
Callie Masters I agree!
That priest has it right. Pumping out everything that makes the country beautiful for some paper.
What a piece of gold walking into that building and finding 2 people singing like that. ❤️ I bet they smell like soap and feed their cats very well.
Awww ... too bad you didn't sing for them at least. They were probably just happy to see Englishman in their village and wanted you to feel included even if you wouldn't sing that well.
They don't like the English - don't taste good.
I know, I really hope that part of the video was a joke, and he did indeed sing for them but didn’t want to upload it, or he made it up for the lulz basically.

Of course he will

@@mddenis1 same as Baltic states
The singing was so beautiful, It reminded of music I'd hear in like a studio ghibli movie!
If I had a nickel for every time someone said “Babushka Down” I’d have a nickel.
Running from a public performance in a Soviet village? Thats not the Bald I know.
@@rivingtonpike7899 The man was hungry he said. You need to eat good for such a performance. But i get the point. I find it just a bit weird why he should do it...
Cos he had no vodka inside him
C 0 idk, I really enjoyed this video also.
@@rivingtonpike7899 Eh, I'm just commenting in jest. If you go through all his videos they all vary quite a bit from time to time - that is the nature of vlogs, but they are always interesting. This was no exception. It was just weird to see him squirrel away like that, but as others have said, on an empty stomach (of food or vodka) it does change you, plus he's probably still got some kind of virus going on too. Like I said, it was just a jokey comment.
Out of coke.
i feel for the hotel receptionist who giggled while looking thru his passport 😂
Why
I am addicted to your videos! I have to say I would have gotten up on stage and did something! What an adventure! I have been to 85 nations, and I love exploring local culture!
Bald entertains us enough without needing to get up on stage as well. Maybe the locals missed out, but then again was Bald doing a vague reconstruction of Morris dancing something they needed to see?
Komi Village People: Sing and dance for us
Bald: ight ima head out
Hahahahaha brilliant
"Babushka down" I'm dead 😭😭😭
Sweetest moment on this one!!

Mr. Bald, I am disappointed that you didn't perform at the village fair at the end..."Rolling in the deep" from Adele would've been the perfect choice for the villagers and the viewers
hahaha..
_" like I'm a spy or something"_
*EVIL LAUGH*
I really find comfort in watching these types of videos, during quarantine you might get the feeling that you're missing out staying inside all the time. Watching videos like these gives me the feeling that i've actually done something with the day, strange enough.
"They're checking my documents as if I'm a spy or something."
*laughs in MI6*
Ha Ha, Good old Bald can mix with everyone but to sing and dance on a public stage is a Englishman's kryptonite.
Lol so true
What a pity that you haven´t performed for the nice people there - and, of course - for your subscribers!
lmao
Yeah bald ffs what are we paying you for,go back and sing for the village
I'm sure he could have performed a great rendition of "God Save the Queen".
Ye ironically...
@@paulchatel2215 same in Russia
"They ask for my documents like I'm a spy or something... Hahahahahaha... 👀"
I have really enjoyed traveling around with you. It have completed my education at this late stage of my life. It's good to see in this episode that they have something to sing about!! I saw on CZcams today that you would not be making anymore. So sorry to hear that it's been a great adventure ❤

I don't know why, but it's very fun to travel with you!!! Thank you from Quebec Canada :)
Man.. That was disappointing, you should've just went up there and greeted these humble people
100%. I hope he goes back one day and apologize for his rudeness.
@@el_dorado666 its not that embarrassing. Just go up and sing a bit and move around. Way less painful than pulling teeth
Ok tough guys post a video of you doing that sober
“Babooska down!” One of the best lines I’ve heard on CZcams
Yes
I love your care-free travels. The things you have seen. Love it.
I love these vlog's where you just talk to ordinary people from cultures I've never heard or seen before.
500,000 views, no problem, singing and dancing in front of 20 people, nope. lol
He must have been hurting from no food or drink. It gets to peoples head when that happens. It was also rude to walk from the party and he would know that. But I trust that he had a reason.
@@dsanalysis5013 attending those kind of village celebrations and not eating like a king is pretty much impossible.if he didn't eat anything by that point it was because he didn't want to
Villagers should have homemade vodka, if he just had a few drinks he would of definitely sang and danced.
@@haidicheng5142 he was driving
@@RemusDs
Option 1: Drive anyway, like he has in more or less every video in which he randomly gets invited for a drink. Not recommended.
Option 2: Get taken care of for the night by a cute village babushka
Friendliest most true-hearted people you've met so far! Komi is related to Mari, Estonian, Moksha, Karelian, Sámi, Finnish.... They wanted an English song from you! Anything from 'Sumer is icumen in' to 'Sussex Carol' to 'Boar's Head.' I would've helped you, had I been there, and made many good friends among Komi. Never refuse the stage, Bald!
Creds for the knowledge. :)
Yeah it kinda sounds like Finnish with gibberish words
Gundelsindelfingoldingen very cool, and interesting
The village even looked a bit like my home town in Northern Finland. All these Russian videos are weirdly nostalgic to me. :D

Same every video and the loving being a fish out of water.
When the guy ran over to help the babushka up it reminded me of my trip to Russia with my wife and my two sons (age one and half and three year old) I had a double stroller and anytime I came up to steps or stuck in a door way the closests man to me would run up and help me. Many people there are consideret of old people, parents with small kids , and children. What a beautiful people.
it is not potatoe, its called Keramzit, thats a commonly used spongy and baked clay stone, used as an aggregate and filler before laying grout. very good material for acoustics and enhances rigidity of floors. that material is also used in plant beds as water holder, where they trap water within in its spongy structure for a long time, elongating soil humidity.
Thank god someone answered this question. It seemed so strange
No, this is literally potatoes. Keramsit is much smaller in size.
found your site not too long ago, been watching for over a month love bald and bankrupt - so interesting, and hopefully endless!

Red star on private homes or gates means that someone who lives/lived there was a participant of WWII.
After the war each school had a group of children who were responsible for their area. They would attend to any houses with red star and provide help. Anything from bringing groceries, painting fences and homes, helping with the garden, etc.
It continued for quite a while, all the way into late 80th, as that generation became older.

Your travel vlogs are providing similar type of excitement.
I've never seen you scared of anything, Bald! But now I know your biggest fear: singing in front of an audience. :)
he's scared of stray dogs 😂
And heights
And a guy taking a shit
and babushka
And stepping on potatoes
Globalization’s results. I get information about my country and its regions whose I never heard about from the English guy’s video.

Very interesting juxtaposition
Same here. Just found his channel a few weeks ago and already surprisingly was given a tour around a town I was born in and another town I have lived in for 7 years and haven't seen for about 20 years now.
Aretm, it's not that surprising considering how vast russia is and ussr was.
not really surprising considering how russian media works. People are super great he made me want to visit russia even more than i always wanted but all of them "elite people" above are shady to say the least...
“Anyway here’s wonderwall”
15:10 "Babushka down!" .. and young man is helping to get up! :)
In Russia we say "уйти по-английски" ("leave in an English way"). That's what you actually did :D
leave in an English way which means leave without saying goodbye !
I thought the same thing. We have exacly the same expression in Poland :)
In French they say fuir a l'anglaise
This is a funny expression that other countires have using the English, I love this.
Megabutor Yes, too bad our government are cowards who cannot help an ally in need.
I have learned more about Eastern Europe and its eclectic variety of peoples from Bald than any of the formal education that I received throughout the years.
This channel not only entertaining, should also be considered an essential educational tool as well for anyone interested in the Soviet Union and its former republics.
Thank You Bald!

What beautiful places Bald goes to 😊 and that party was so lil
Okay, suggestions.....not your usual style but.....
1) Lena River descent on some kind of commercial vessel(s). Stop a lot along the Verkhoyansk. Explore a bit.
2) Indigirka in a rubber boat. Watch out for bears. And don't fall in.
3) Go to Seymchan, visit gulags (very hard to reach unsurprisingly but I could put you in touch with someone), hear/learn Even (as in the language the Evenskii speak).
4) All of Yakutia.
5) Sakhalin - lost indigenous languages shared with Japan!
You will need serious mosquito protection. Unless you go in winter. When you will need a serious snow mobile. And very warm clothes.
You will see "real" Russian roads.
