- Part 2: • Irpin to Kyiv: Never R...
There seem to be a trend of people wanting to move to the city of Irpin as it's supposedly just "25 minutes" alway from Kyiv (Kiev) and half the price. I take my good friend Bald and Bankrupt there to explore what it's like, how much apartments costs, what there is to do, and to see if it really is the better, cheaper alternative to the capital city of Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine.

I'm moving to Irpin
With a Belarusian wife?
It is on my bucket list
will you come back to khtz for the special tractor plant tour?
why does he call you Paul isnt your name Alex?
Does that make you an Irpinite?
It's terrifying to watch this video now. Everything looks so peaceful and calm.
it is like watching pre world war images, so sad
@@Hilariusgamer the tank is so ironic
such a nice city and nice people... horrifying
actually the most ironic thing is that the T34 was tested on the finnish front and a large part of the casualties in the winter war were Ukrainians. Now our ex enemy is fighting the russians like we did almost 90 years ago.
@@smokeonthewater5287 🙂and the result of the war will be the same, the Russians will win (maybe Russians should have exterminated their enemies then)
I was studied in Tax University in Irpin before war. I was crying while watching this video. It reminds me that peaceful days. A couple of friends of mine were lost in Irpin because of war. Thank you for your video
Sorry for your loss 🙏💖🇺🇦
I am so sorry. 😥 Glory to Ukraine!!
Cant believe this place was destroyed just a few months later.
I remember watching this at time it was published. So sad and tragic that now this town and Ukraine are the stage of a brutal terrible war. Little did these guys or anyone else knew.
Just few months later and it will never be the same
@@Hilariusgamer one thing I’ve learnt over the years is to take nothing for granted.
I watched this at time it was published.....I could only watch few seconds here and there now and I felt cold on my back from watching it...it's unreal...like...alternative universse....it's so weird and creepy to watch this now..I can't....
They knew. Bankrupt and Bald is MI5 propagandist. See his Russia reviews.
@@user-pf5xq3lq8i noo he is MI69 propagandist
Johnny, could you guys do a retake of this video?
Maybe try to go down exactly the same streets. To the same shops. Use the same camera angles.
And then release two versions of the new video. One just as it is. And one that is side by side with the old video, but with the sound of the new video.
It is still not save to walk everywhere around there. The mines and bombs may be in a grass and everywhere.
Everyones moving out of there these days 😎
As for those that stay, mine picking season is in full swing 😉
Stellar idea. . . When it's safe. Or maybe Starsky can help with this
Those that listened to Johnny and did not move to Irpin must be very thankful to him now
Yup. Especially since he moved to Kyiv. . .just as Russia "declares war" on the place and tries to knock it off the face of the earth. Rotten luck. If it wasn't so tragic it would be hysterical. Poor JFD
Poor Ukrainians
Unfortunately pretty much nobody is left in Irpin as Putin and his army have wiped it out. A short 7 months ago it was thriving. So sad.😥😥😥 Pray for the Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. 🙏🙏🙏
Their chemistry is so good. I really enjoy all the videos of them together. Feel like it's the perfect balance of Bald's showmanship and Johnny's reserved attitude. Like the perfect balance
I feel like it's forced on Johnnys part....
Don't shoot me it's only my option
@@hoosier-daddy6807 true
Is reserved the word for it? He has a touch of that Larry David thing.
had a really bad day at work today, so seeing this as soon as i get home makes my day a lot better ! thank you Johnny and Bald!
Glad to turn around your day!
That speaks volumes about our lives, shhhh! (Thanks Jonhny, I feel the same as the Cowboy)
Tomorrow will be a lot better. Hang in there.
Heisburger is a Finnish fast food company with headquarters in Turku. Better that Macdodonals 😉
Tomorrow might be shit but the day after will be good
Am I the only one to notice how beautiful this city and how romantic and peaceful its scenery is?
It's really beautiful.
Great looking city
yes
Пейзажи??🤣🤦

This is just difficult to watch in March of 2022. God help Ukraine
Looking at this now .. 10days into the war .. is just heartbreaking 💔
It breaks my heart to see this knowing what is happening in Ukraine now 😥
Just read an interview with the Mayor of Irpin, Alexander Markushyn. The quality of the local leaders in the towns and cities of Ukraine is quite impressive. I hope you both get the chance to return there again soon.
I lived in Irpen for 4 years.. absolutely loved it!!! Very friendly people, quite place.. I'm from Holland, but still miss Irpen every single day
unbelievable
Cool, how did you end up there ?
Greetings from your neighbour from Belgium
@@tytorubio3271 love 😋
This will now be a historical video, I expect much of this has been destroyed now sadly
Love Ukrainians. So friendly and open. Women so unbelievably hot.
I've noticed that Johnny's camera tends to linger on the finer women :))
My mother is Ukrainian, dates 3 guys at the same time and they don't even know about each other. So, they know how to manipulate men 😁
@@AB-fp8xo women in general do that lol
@@AB-fp8xo All women do that very well. They survived because they always had Plan A, Plan B, Plan C. etc.
Sure like there’s no men that juggle multiple dates haha😁
I watched this video for the first time last night and this morning I see on the news that Irpin has been attacked. I am sorry for the people of Irpin that you are going through this. I am not going to say "prayers or thoughts with you" as these sayings are no doubt sickening and useless by now. I am going to keep pressure on my government for more support for Ukraine and her people. Wcráin am byth from your friendly Welshman.
🙂 more support or more weapons?
@@hajleselasije2368 both
@@ysmaliwr 🙂we will remember the dead Ukrainians dying full of Western support and weapons, and we will not feel sorry for them at all
Please keep calling your elected representatives for help in Ukraine
🙏🇺🇦

Watching this and wandering what is left of all this now
Horrible pictures of Irpin in the news today :(
Mindblowing that now almost everyone have heard if Irpin... for all the wrong reasons.
You guys are quite the pair, would love to see more like this!
They are but no offense to Johnny as he is a nice guy but Bald should be the lead and do most of the talking. Johnny is a good side kick.
@@mikebooth930 That’s what happens on Ben’s channel but this is Johnny’s channel.
@@deltanovember1672 exactly. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wtf. NO. this is mikes channel
Uvplc00000
It would be great if you could go back there now and walk the same path. And show the before and after. The locals in this video are all refugees now :(
Or tragically they are dead. It makes you so enraged that the Russians came in caused such destruction and death. This place will never be the same. It's like an intruder coming into your home and destroying it.
Worry about what has become of the people and animals in this video. 🥲
The channel UA Courage has a recent video of Irpin, unfortunately one of the earliest casualties of this war.
Can't believe this beautiful town became bleak battle field, reduced to rubble and ashes in 6 months.
How different it used to look, just not so long ago. Irpin is in the news now for shelling and civilian casualties.
Rumors are still spreading that Bald didn't wash his hands after touching that syringe.
I dig Benny but he's not really big with in the hygiene department...
After all those trips to Chernobyl, the syringe touched Bald
How times have changed......
my world curled up into the little bundle!!! Bald and Johnny were in my town and even met my classmate!!
I cant believe that you are talking about this ridiculous columns in the centre. There are no connection with Romans, it's just that our mayor has a total lack of good taste 😂
Hahahahahaha really 😁
Don't say that. Maybe I have bad taste myself, but Irpin is the most beautiful of all cities in Ukraine I've been to. I actually almost bought a flat there. When I was visiting it, I loved it so much. When I had to return to Kyiv - it looked so terrible in contrast. Even though I loved Kyiv all the time. So all the time I'm wondering how is it even possible in our country, to have a city which is so nicely organised, as if people realy care about it.
Меня больше озадачило, кто навёл этих жлобов в Украину, в маленький город.
@@igork9618 красивый?? Ты серьёзно?!
@@igork9618 Hey! I agree with everything you said! Irpin is amazing town and i like it so much. I moved here from Kyiv almost 10 years ago and i so happy to live here. But we have to be honest, central square it is not solved in the best way. But that doesnt mean that i'm dont like this town :)
How lovely the town of Irpin. And how prescient to watch your adventures on the old T-34 Russian Tank.
It’s Mar 3 the war is raging on and its good to know you two have escaped to safety.
God help those who didn’t get out. 🇺🇦. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🗺
Bald is talking about Soviet and Johnny is checking internet speed; good combination Future and Past. Cheburashka conversation was great 😸
actually a lot of Johnny's old subscribers are digital nomads, so internet speed is important for us
👋
Hahahahaha
Cherepashka :D
Lo, he comes off a weirdo when he's on someone else's channel
Johnny, your videos with Bald lead me here and to become your new subscriber. I like the video you and Bald did commentary over. It provided lots of interesting behind the scenes background. I’m looking forward to watching the videos on your channel. All the best!
Welcome aboard!
Me too. Love Bald to bits and happy to have found you too Johnny!
We will be waiting for a video "Irpin after war"
When you made this video, no one knew what (in my opinion) important documentation about "life before the war" at Irpin you made! So sad to know what it's looking like right now.
Johnny should film 'Total makeover' of how that place transformed from bustling town to a bum hole
@@inimeneinimene463 and then back again to a bustling suburban city after the rebuild. But only Johnny can retape the footage using the same people. If he gets with Starsky and Brandon also, then he will have local talent ready.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇸🇺🇦
Love the mentorship on display in this video. Bald just calmly but authoritatively telling him to go back and film the hand dryer - whose noise turned out to be a highlight of the video!
Hi guys! We live in Irpen, the city is very beautiful. There are many parks, you have only been to one of them. There is a lot of entertainment for young people and children. You also have not been to the Irpen embankment, where the Irpen River is, there is a good place for a walk. The hotel in the center is certainly not very good, but there are also new excellent hotels such as the Grand Admiral Resort & SPA. Also in the center you were a famous coffee house "Lvivska Maisternya Chocolate", there is delicious coffee and chocolate. And many more beautiful cafes and restaurants. It was very interesting to see you, your opinion, you are funny guys! Come again! 😆👍🇺🇦
Your city sucks. Why there is no islamic culture??
@@fma6571 Then don't go there.
@@fma6571 Lol Based Ukranians don't want cultural enrichment
Looks like a really nice place.
@@fma6571 Who would want "Islamic culture?" Women are allowed to wear what they like, work, drive a car, own a home, etc etc. People are allowed to drink alcohol. Gays and lesbians aren't murdered because of their sexual orientation... I think the world could do with a bit LESS "Islamic culture."
It's sad to think that so many of these people have now left or are hiding for their lives. 💔
Some of them sadly are not with us anymore. I believe that we will rebuild the cities but the people we love will never return
Hey Johnny. Thanks for showcasing my town. As an expat who's lived in Irpin for the past three years I can tell you that you only saw about 25% of the town. Please come back and see the rest!
Thinking of buying a house there with my Ukranian family of 15 years. Or maybe Bucha. Any tips?
@@Mike-ur7xk don’t that place is unfortunately bombed
@@amomot Thank God I didn't
The bromance continues.
Это просто пиздеж двух скучающих стареющих Козлов на задании
I moved from Kyiv to Irpin 1 month ago, and can explain a little bit:
The reason for people saying It is 2 times cheaper is due to rent prices. If you rent a 2room apartment in Kyiv near the metro with a good renovation it would cost you 800-1000$.
If you rent one in Irpin, it will be 400-500$, and It will be even more beautiful with windows in the floor as all the buildings are modern.
Other expenses are the same as in Kyiv, so you save only on the rent.
The ecology is much better than in Kyiv (forest air, lots of trees, clean streets)
P.S those antic monuments are really just a style. I was curious about them too🙂
And yeah, it is 1.20 hours from the center by public transport (traffic jams do not affect this time). Or 30 mins by car without the jams.
Hope you are ok🙏
Hey bro, how are you doing there? Hope you're fine.
That park is really nice and so is Irpin. Me and my wife came there one afternoon about a few weeks ago (probably a few days after you were there) after spending the day in a very beautiful park in Bucha. You guys should visit Bucha also, its a very cosy little town. That rib place you mentioned, we stopped there to eat and the food was very good.
Ben is obviously a good friend and probably a fairly decent person; Most of the time he's looking at the bright side of things and how to make everyone's life better by sharing stories, showing other peoples lives, communicating with random's and even giving his mate tons of clicks by shifting his appearance to another persons channel instead of simply using his own. We could use a few more Bald Bens in this world.
The title is foreboding
Its sad, I just watched a video from Irpin. Russian tanks were wrecking the place firing indiscriminately at random apartment buildings
Just learned of a Pasha Lee passing away defending Irpin. Rest In Peace
The nice gentleman on the bus says it's a tough town.
So true.. The Ukrainians are modern day Spartans. Some of the toughest people on earth.
Me and my partner love your content, as well as Bald's of course. We thought it was hilarious in the military when the guy recognised Bald as a guy in your videos 😅 My partner is from Kyiv, Ukraine (we live in Ireland), she loves seeing Kyiv in your videos makes her melancholy (haven't been able to travel there since covid). If you want a Babushka in Kyiv (for content lol), I can get in touch with my mother in law 😁 She's done Ukrainian reality TV too so has experience ha.
Johnny - Come with me to the toilet
Bald - Im not coming with you to the toilet again that looks dodgy
hahaha
hahaha, yes, its so funny to see the face expression of historian of old soviet thigs. "Im not coming with you to the toilet again" hahahaha
I can watch this videos all day. Keep the great content coming! Greetings from Amsterdam!
16:45 Nailed it!
Awesome adventures, man! You and Ben inspired me to go on adventures myself and even start my own channel!
Keep it coming!
I see on your channel that you were in Ukraine. Is everything ok?
Johnny, thanks for the great content. You are a very inspirational person believe it or not. You are a good person and anyone who watches your videos can tell. Dont change who you are and always, thank you for being such an inspiration. You are a great person. Great memories and safe travels to you and anyone involved.
I appreciate that!
Hesburger is from Finland and can also be found from south Helsinki suburbans called Tallinn. Cheers Mate!
When you guys sit down in that restaurant it is like you are wearing a sign that says “Foreigners- take full advantage”
I feel like the transport situation shows the dichotomy of Johnny and Bald’s personal ethos. Johnny wants modern comfort and technology with an Uber…Bald wants to pay pennies to cram himself in a lovely Soviet bus and talk to the locals.
My kind of thing!
As Bald and Johnny wander the streets you're left to wonder how many these poor souls have since perished. Tragic
Almost all of them sadly.
@@JohnnyFD Heartbreaking. Tell their story. Take care.
You were right.
😂😐
This makes me sad watching this now. I use to love watching y’all’s journey across Ukraine. It’ll never be the same 😢🇺🇦
Hi Johnny! Thanks for posting so many positive videos about Ukraine. It’s awesome watching your journey on CZcams.
I would love if it you could possibly make a video explains what the US tax situation is like for owning so many international properties? I also live in Ukraine and pay taxes to the US. I’m thinking of buying a few flats In lviv, but I don’t know if that’ll raise my taxes.
Keep up the great work and thanks for the endless hours of entertainment
Just discovered you on Bald and Bankrupt, watched a couple videos and subscribed, looking forward to watching more of your stuff, cheers.
Thanks and welcome 😀
This story aged well, good advice to people who listened. pray for peace SOON!
29:30..The tank part got Real shit !!!
Unreal
The columns are there in the center similar to ancient Greece where the citizens would congregate and socialize.
23:57 I can tell you. Most Ukrainian cities have nothing to do with Romans or antique times (except the ones on the Black sea, like Odesa, Mykolaiv, Sevastopol that were Greek colonies in the ancient times). But the antique culture and architecture have inspired early soviet architects, so the people that lived in that places learned the taste of beauty and glory from the antique architecture. The influence of antique architecture was so strong, so even nowadays people think that antique columns and pieces are the nicest things to put in a public space.
Well, Odesa was founded 1794, Mykolaiv - 1789, Sevastopol - 1783. Sevastopol has really nothing common in history with old ancient greek Chersonesus except the place, where it was found. Odesa almost the same story except that nothing have left from ancient times, but this is not even known for sure. Mykolaiv has no connection to greek colonies at all, lol.
@@tataroma4900 Near Mykolaiv are the ruins of Olbia - an ancient Greek city.
@@sixthtulip Well, it's not even quite close, at least 30 km in a straight line from the city center. I don’t know if someone can say that these places are somehow related in time and space at all. ))
@@tataroma4900 the descendants of the ancient Greek colonists still live in southern Ukraine. I live in Mariupol, where 15% of the population are Greeks, descendants of Greek colonization
@@tataroma4900 It seems to me that Dmytro did not mean a literal connection, but simply spoke about the region - the south of Ukraine, where the mentioned cities are now located.
So sad seeing all those kids running around in that gorgeous park. As Irpin is now liberated and seeing the destruction just sadness. Wow. Johnny I hope you get back to your home in Kyiv and visit this town again to see how they will rebuild. Love to all Ukraine from Oz.
what is more heart braking is the humanitarian aid request from a mayor from one of 3 liberated cities: "we do not need any children food. There are no children left. " 😰😰
I'll try to look for exact quote
love the videos. thanks for posting.
Such a beatiful place and snapshot of a time. Can't believe it's now just rubble and debris. Makes me feel so sad. I only know one person from Ukraine and he's always smiling and a generous and sharing man. You are very welcome to finland, people from Ukraine...
Remember the video when Johnny first met Bald? I really wasn't sure whether you guys hit it off. Fast forward and we have the best duo in a long time. Cheers lads!
When did they meet? as I love following bold and im here now as I loved seeing them together like how Johnny now says soviet lol
@@izabelasiczek3547 it's here on Johnny's channel, a few months ago
Ну да. Два дебила нашли друг друга.👏👍
I don’t like Irpin much and I live in another small town close to this place. The profits I have in the summer time: clean lakes in the neighbourhood area where I can swim with my friends, yoga on the grass (different groups), amazing garden in my yard, farm products from the local market, no concrete ghetto around.
Other profits: good coffee places and nice family cafes (sorry, guys, I don’t like fast food)
The main drawback is the traffic. And you definitely should have a car. Museums, theatres and cultural events I usually attend on weekends and I’m ok with it.
Oh! Living in suburbia is not about being cheaper. Like in Europe, in the USA it’s about another quality of living. Good or bad? It’s up to you. I can tell about the service here if you’re interested. What should be better, what is ok.
sounds really nice
Это где?

Is there good internet in most appartaments without random downtime? Is there decent night life? I might consider. I don't like northern EU anymore. I work remote from anywhere in the world thats why internet is important.

guys Irpin seems like a town i would love to live in . i am retired from the United States and following you guys in your travels is so great i get to see how others live and to see that people are just about the same every where we go. people want to raise their famalies, work, and have a decent life.
Investing money in real estate in Irpen is a common practice. If you spend about 50 thousand dollars to buy a one-room apartment, you can rent it out and receive about 4-5% per year. If you are interested, write to me. I am not a realtor, I am a real estate investor and I am waiting for the completion of the construction of my house.
Нет уж. Сидите-ка вы лучше у себя в Америке.
What are the classical pieces you are using in this video, I have forgotten. Loved the video and would love to see more of you both!
Glad I saw you on old Baldbags channel Johnny. Love your vibe man keep pumping out content, you and bald are hilarious together
Best duo since Dr. Strange and Wong.
or Goldfinger and Oddjob.
or Laurel and Hardy.
Glad you didn't say Magnet & Steel
It is quite moving to watch this knowing what it is like now to what it was then , I feel for the people in the background of the video unaware of what was in store for them and just pray they are fine.
I love your work so far Johnny. If I may though your content is a lot to do with recording your natural experiences, the man you’re working with (Bald) is a content creator he’s building a bit and then selling it even if there’s little to be sold. Also always keep rolling pack extra batteries you can always edit later. I can’t wait for the next adventure. Cheers!
It's amazing to watch this video knowing that most of what you're seeing is now completely destroyed.
First impression of Irpin: not bad. Not nearly as grim as many other places Baldy visited
Bald always goes for the worst. :D
I think you and Bald should make more videos together. You are both very different people but I think you compliment each other quite well.
May 2022. Johnny is actively helping Ukrainian civilians, there’s fund raising on Johnny’s channel, he’s doing GREAT job. Where’s Bald? .. oh I see.. Syria you won’t see in medias. I’m so disappointed I can’t even tell.
So interesting and fun interaction with everyone. Thanks
Love seeing videos from you two, keep it up! Best collab Bald has done. Btw Hesburger is from Finland and it's way better than mcdonalds :D
depends on the burger imo
Love the content and I belive Hesburger is family owned bussines that started in Finland around 80-90's
nice chill video guys , best wishes from Ireland .
Hey Johnny, just found your channel and subscribed. I've been following Bald forever, and you guys make a good team. Cheers.
I hadn't seen this one.. So sad considering what is happening now just 6 months later 😢
This could very well be the most professional shot of Johnny and Bald ever seen.
Pure quality! 0:39
I know you from Benjamins channel bro you're a very comical pair indeed haha always wicked content and this is the first video that's popped up from your channel😂 good luck to you and keep up the good work💪😎 big love from Wales.❤️
Hey Johnny im a big fan I've watched your videos for nearly 2 years now.. but maybe you should rename this video in light of what actually happened to irpin.. 👍🏼😬
Why ? CZcams videos have dates that are publicly visible.
Wonder how Irpin became sister city to Milwaukee, never been to either but doubt they have much in common. Thankyou for the content Jonny, great having a different perspective to the Bald One
Love watching you guys together!
so visiting you back catalog and love that you got up charged. I had to run to an atm to pay for refills at a place that did not take cards in the era of free refills. Went to use a buy one get one free dinner and payed for the free meal of 20 in soda lol
Its awesome that you read our comments and actually do it. Glad to see more of you and bald. Good cop/Bad cop partners at it again haha
Johnny, don"t forget, that there is another new road to Kiev from the new part of Irpin. You can reach the city much quicker, if you live in a new part. I've bought an apartment there one year ago. I lived in Kiev before, but in Irpin I am much happier. Jogging there is perfect))) but I don't like an old part of Irpin. Another locations to check out: Sinergia (new residential district), Admiral (famous SPA hotel), Central park. Have a nice day!
Jogging in Kiev parks (e.g. VDNH) is good as well
I love you guys as a duo. Hopefully there is more content to come soon!
so great seeing bald and you having such a great time!
