Austria is so based

Vienna...my guess was wrong!

Hey, stumbled upon your channel the other day am and loving your content on Soviet architecture (coming from a former USSR nation myself). This video actually made me realize for the first time and I'd love to visit Kazakhstan one day. Keep up the great work!

If you step a side a little bit, you'll see dozens of bums. That, what capitalism did to our country.

I visited Trep Tauer Park while the wall was still up as a US pilot/officer on a tour that ws followed by the East German secret service. You failed to mention the signifigence of the entry: the kneeling young and old Russian soldiers or the stone draped flags and how about the five fields of combined graves? Our tour guide said each of those five grave filds contained 1 million Soviet soldiers. Give us the whole story please.

Hey, great content explained in a very concise manner, thank you 👍

Ljubljana?

Great content! Would love more

Meanwhile, in neighboring EU country Bulgaria, the trains look like from a 1950s Bollywood movie.

Great video Marcel! Keep up the tight work brother!

Always dropping knowledge! Can you recommend any books?

I'm really confused on Alter and Ehrlich, why were they executed? Alot of the information I've dug up points to them being very In favor of the Soviet Union, Apparently in 1917 when Elrich was elected to the Executive Committee of the All Russian Workers' and Soldiers' Soviet, Stalin endorsed his speech. Then all of a sudden in 1939, the Soviets just had it in for him for no reason. Apparently he was accused of 'sabotage' against the Soviet Union. Idk just seems arbitrary.

Funny how it aligns and makes sense when you get your sources from Communist, Jihadi and Communists. Fascist oppressive and genocidal entities who persecuted a loyal religious minority , ethnically cleansing it to its origin - the biblical historical land of Israel. If you would zoom out from your narrow minded Antisemiti point of view you will see , that the imperialist, colonialist, genocidal entitiesare the Arab Muslims, the Nazis and Soviets. of course, you don't hate jews, just those Osraeli jews who were ethnically cleansed from Arab Muslim countries, Nazi Europe, and Communist block. The ones who returned to their ancestral homeland to rebuild it, and being attacked again and again by genocidal dictatorships.

Do your homework . You are trying to figure out history from an American progressive leftist academic point of view, which has been infected with Soviet jihadi funds. Palestina is the Roman term for Judea, following the Roman crush of the Jewish rebellion, cruisifoction of jesus, and deporting the jews globally. Jude was renamed so after the name of their enemies , the Europen invading "Plishtim" (Goliath) . Millennium before Islam. Palash=invader in Hebrew. There is no "P" in Arabic to begin with, and "Palestinian" Arab nationality is a Soviet jihadi fabrication created by the KGB in 1964 to unite the Muslims against western democracies. The so called "Palestinians " are actually Arab work migrants who invaded the future Jewish state, looking for work at Zionist investments and British investments at the future jewish state. During the past 120 years Arabs have been invading Israel to work for the jews ,hoping to gain citizenships in Israel. In the 1920s , Britain confiscated 78%of the future Jewish state and gave it to the Hashemite Saudi Beduin royalty to create Jordan. The jews were left with only 22% , Declared by the UN as the jewish state in 1947. The day after, Israel was attacked by 5 major Arab countries to ethnically cleanse the 600,000 jewish refugees who returned to their ancestral biblical homeland. The jews fought on their own and won the war. The local Arab work migrants who rejected the establishment of the jewish state fled back to their regions of origin in the Arab countries -but were thrown to refugee camps along the borders of Israel. The so called "Palestinians " are denied citizenships in Arab countries until today, fabricating a "Palestinian " muslim Arab "exile people" to incite Arabs against western democracies and win the hearts and minds of western infidels like you. Tools for a Soviet jihadi revolution in America. Look at Haj Amin al Hueini hisory, The "Palestinian " Arab fabrication has its roots in Nazi Germany. Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Quran but mentioned over 600 times in Torah as the capital of the Jewish people. You are a long way from home boy. Pathetic.

Brilliant as always mate. Your knowledge is impressive, always look forward to your vids 👍

I can't believe I only discovered your channel a couple months ago! I had the good fortune to go on a huge trip across southeastern Europe in May and June, and I took this train both ways. As you can imagine, the heat was even worse in June and I don't recommend taking the train towards Bucharest simply because the border crossing and wheel change happen in the middle of the night (we were awake from 3-6 AM) but it was such a cool experience. As a Western (I'm from Canada) socialist who is trying to understand the good, the bad, and the in-between of socialist states firsthand, your videos and nuanced commentary are exactly what I've been looking for. Keep up the amazing work! P.S., if you find yourself in Dubrovnik, Croatia, I strongly, strongly recommend the Red History Museum. It's fantastic.

12:45 the Riga TV Tower is actually EU's tallest structure.

Awesome video as always. I still can't believe you don't get more views! I was in Riga a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed the Science Academy. So run down and Soviet, and then there's the view. Not sure I found the "bus station" outside a high point, but oh well. Btw, you should go to Grūtas Park near Druskininkai in southern Lithuania. So much Sovietness in one place!

I am glad to have found your channel.

I'm surprised at how much ex-communist stuff you can get there! Maybe when I go to Albania, I'll get that Hoxha mug or one of those caps

Well you were one of the last guests in the hotel as it is now being demolished

Nice song at the end. Can you link to the full version?

The only important thing is that you can trace the modern border of Kazakhstan since 1465 (15th century), when 2 khans Kerey and Zhanibek united different tribes and formed one state (khanate) called the Kazakh Khanate! In 15 century! And that is a fact. The Kazakhs consist and always consisted of 3 main tribes (the older in the south/southwest, the middle central/northern and the younger west/northwest). However, if you are not historians, If you are ordinary chauvinists, you can stop reading here. If you really read a lot and can tell the difference between the truth and the Soviet dumb manual, read everything down below. In the 1760s, when we weakened from constant attacks from the Dzungars (modern territory of Mongolia), we were forcibly annexed to the Russian Empire. Also in 1916-17 there were many uprisings. However, unfortunately, we lost this war, since all the opinion leaders, all literate people such as political scientists, philosophers, writers, Stalin tortured and then cruelly executed, and all their followers. Accordingly, when the Soviet power came, there were no people left who would go against the government. Mostly women and children. The Kazakhs had led a nomadic lifestyle all their lives and could always live in abundance. Each Kazakh family in those years had a fortune of several herds of cattle. But after the arrival of the Soviets, they forcibly took away everything they had and this affected every family. In those terrible times, while Hollywood was being formed in America and the "ringing 20s", more than 70% of the population died in the Kazakh steppe from an artificially created famine. The 30 that remained alive survived as best they could, ate grass, steppe mice, and there were cases of cannibalism. Horrible times that my great-grandmother told me about with tears in her eyes. And throughout the existence of the USSR, we were called the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Republic. Our grandparents lived through hard times, Moscow used us as much as it could, 500 000 young Kazakhs gave their lives in the name of victory over Nazi Germany, and we were still called an autonomy. All the minerals were pumped out of our land for 70 years, rivers and lakes were drained (like the Aral Sea) to redirect water resources to other regions, and all this was on orders from Moscow. This is our history... In brief... Today we are experiencing a second wind, after all the troubles that happened to our grandparents. Today we are one of the fastest developing countries in the world!

Great Soviet Era, all nations lived together as one

Totally wrong ! On your screen/title you put the name of the capital of Moldova - Kishinev / in RuSSian / / wich is not correct/.This is the correct form = Kishinău/Chișinău in Romanian - our official language /. Also on the same first screen you put the Lenin monument in Tiraspol and also the RuSSian flag of mafiosi Transnistria. No problems, you can do whatever you want, but to be correct - in this case you must put there the name - Tiraspol + Lenin monument +plus Russian flag of Transnistria. Consult the wiki and you will find our Moldovan flag, the name of our capital, etc. Also, we are not in Russian speaking world/ RuSSki Mir. Yes, we have a kind of RuSSian speaking minority - 15 % only and also Gagauz-Turkish population - 5 % who enjoy speaking also Russian. The rest of the population- 80 % is Romanian/ Moldavian / speaking population. We want to escape RuSSian occupation and influence by Re-Uniting with our historical motherland- România/EU. Ready to provide you more information, if need it.

Thanks a lot for the video. Almaty one is the most beautiful city in the world.

You missed so much of Novi Sad's life and people, come back later. :)

At the beginning, I felt very strange that this train is not like the high-speed trains from China, and I wondered why the high-speed trains from China could be that slow. Chinese high-speed trains can reach 350 kilometers per hour, which is really impressive, but this train can only go 200 kilometers per hour, which is too slow. Then I know that this is not a Chinese train. Chinese high-speed trains will arrive soon, and then friends from Serbia and Hungary will be able to experience what a real high-speed train is like. I'm really looking forward to it!

OMG the video is so great. You really made a lot of research. I appreciate that a lot, because there is no much content in english about soviet heritage in Almaty. I think Almaty had one of the most unique architecture in whole of the USSR, due to the fact that this was the only big earthquake active city in the Soviet union, and also Kunaev’s dream was to make Almaty the best place, he brought a lot of projects to make Almaty such a unique city

So nice to see something positive coming from our country for a change :) The name of the train is SOKO which means 'falcon'

Thank you ❤ Great video ☭

One of my favorite places in Berlin!

Mate, thank you for this heartbreaking video. Well done!

interesting.

Fun fact: even when we still had visas to China, the fee for them was $3.

Что тебя испугало при переходе между вагонами ?😂 Ничего там страшного нет.

I'll be honest with you dumb f$ck, its a pretty normal train. I first took it from Bucharest to Kishinev back in 2013, my first international travel in 30 years. I managed it, checked my check boxes for " Soviet Trains" spend a week in Kishinev and then headed to Tiraspol. Since then I've taken that train once or twice a year until covid as a traveler including taking an apartment in Tiraspol just to relax, the same in Bucharest. Why oversell this train? Attract people that don't understand they are traveling to a very traditional Orthodox Christian part of the world.

In your dream Uzbekistan was Timurid empire

Вот куда вы денетесь без русского языка , даже в этом поезде едущим в Румынию иностранцы говорят на русском .

China is collaborating on another destination to Subotica (and later to Budapest), but through Novi Sad. Here on video are swiss made stadlers and the track was built by Serbia and partially by Russian Railways

Back to the Cold War.

Thanks for this video I’m thinking of doing this in October.

The train is a Swiss made Stadler intercity/regional train, very good and confortable train, but by no means a high-speed train. The "reviewer" is a genuine je*k. The Chinese tourist I regularly meet on this train from Kloten Airport are all amazed on how comfy and silent this train is.Tells a lot about Chinese regional trains :)

Soy boy from US try to teach victims to love occupiers? I wish you to live in USSR as I do. You will cry as little girl after one week.
