  • 🇰🇬 Ever wanted to know what life was like in mysterious Central Asia? Want to see what kind of hotel rooms a couple of $ will get you? Well join me as I drive across Kyrgyzstan in search of a town called Miley Suu and on the way meet a host of characters in the semi-abandoned villages of the country. Oh, and I found a nice apartment block for us all to move into.

      Ukrainians were EXILED there. Since the times of Catherine the second.
      The same way like Taras Shevchenko was exiled to Kazakhstan. Many of them settled there for the whole life and became locals.
      Noone would move from Ukraine into Kyrgyzstan by their own will.
      Of course there were also Ukrainians who were sent to different far regions of USSR after graduation from Universities. They were appointed by government to different high-skilled jobs to teach local people. It was a common practice to mix population from different regions.
      A lot of Ukrainians were also sent to Russian far East. Many families in irkutsk and vladivistok have Ukrainian heritage

    Oh she's gold. I'd follow someone new around, chatting if I lived there, the poor darling probably sees the same few people all the time.

    Just found your channel and this is the first video I watched. Absolutely love it. I'm from Latvia and travelled a lot during Soviet times with my parents around these countries, but its amazing to see how they are nowadays. I live in Ireland now. I just remember the beauty of those trips and super friendly and generous people. Is there a follow up video where you go to those mountains? I can't seem to find it? However, I'll be binging your channel now 😅

    Mr. Bald, this has been a very difficult year for all of us. Your videos take me out of this quarantine nightmare depression and out into the world that I one day wish to explore. I saw a new Bald and Bankrupt video was posted and I instantly felt less depressed, thank you! Cheers from locked down Toronto!

    Good video, i prefer this type of videos than the group ones like the ones in Mexico, this feels more personal , and very chill to watch.
    Also have to say i started watching your channel while you had around 500k subs, and now i see you got to 2,3 mil. That is one big number, but it is well deserved.

    classic bald and bankrupt content here. old soviet architecture, chatting with the locals, a bit of history and great banter.
