  • 🇧🇾 If you want to be accepted as a man in the Slavic world you have to know how to cook a good shashlik and make a vodka toast. In this video I wanted to show you how to do that but then the party got crashed by someone who was more expert than me at drinking the sweet juice of the Gods. After that it all went to shit...

But seriously Bald, what you are doing is carrying on that legacy but even more raw and personal than anyone with a TV crew and cameras could ever get. It's an amazing contribution to the world and a huge step in bringing people together and helping to understand how many good people there really are out there.

      The toast is a Viking thing however and to this day you’ll be treated suspiciously if you don’t participate in it or if you toast someone with a non alcoholic drink.
      My ancestors got plenty things wrong but the toast (skål) they absolutely understood and perfected to a political way of pressuring opponents.

I remember that the local government paid so called "death" money/ compensation to people that lived in the affected areas, and also gave coupons for a free bottle of vodka. It was believed back then that Vodka helped with removing radiation. Who knows, maybe it's true after all... My childhood friends from that area are all doing well and healthy, had healthy kids, and the elderly lived their regular live terms.

    Being older, travel is difficult for me. I do enjoy watching your videos, especially the ones about Russia. As a child in the 50's and 60's we were taught to hate Russians. Seeing your travels shows me that they are people just like us and I don't think they hate anyone. Your kind and jovial attitude with the people is wonderful and refreshing. Your knowledge of language is impressive. Keep up the good work. You have one more subscriber.

      Mr. Bald covers everything in a nice digestible way with a lot of humor, but that covers maybe 20% of the reality. Bald wants to make money and he will show what gives him the most subs. I am a native western European and live in rural Russia since more then a decade and the real Russian/Belorussian life is not at all that nice and funny. Russia/Belorussia are probably the most fastly dying out nations on the planet and its not anyone elses but their own fault.
