I saw Paul Peña perform at Asian Art Museum when it was back in 1995. My Inner Richmond neighbor, Lemon, a tree trimmer went on that trip with Paul Peña and was in the movie Genghis Blues. Wonder why Belic brothers didn’t put out more films after that great documentary.
Gabe's use of music to set or reflect the mood of what we are seeing is remarkable. Effortlessly, seamlessly, quietly, the music transports us. As I said once before, he is the master of the musical interlude.
Yeah but he tends to re-use tracks over and over, often applying the same "vibe" from said track/s to quite different countries. I wish he'd dig deeper for unique stuff each time, the amount of music available online is endless.
Kazakhs belong to Kipchak (Kuman) Turkic group. Their ancestors are Scythians, Proto Gok Turks, Huns, The ancient mongols of Genghis khan. That's why you can see the asiatic and European facial fractures. Different from other asians, Japanese , Chinese, or Koreans who are mostly very much have asiatic features
🙏 truly great place of worship ...I pray for my neighbor Mr.Keith (who is suffering from Type 2 Diabetes and cancer) and his 84 year old mom who is suffering from Alzheimers)...also I pray for the people in Ukraine and Israel and Gaza strip....please Lord ...help us to help ourselves....
Hi, For modern Kazakh cuisine I would recommend to visit: 1. TARIH restaurant 2. AUYL restaurant And definitely visit Medeu (Medeo) the nature in October is amazing there
Literally just got home today from Almaty walking tour myself and ate in that restaurant you first went in and ordered horsemeat noodle soup. I like the ambiance of the city - clean, chill vibes.. The streets definitely reminded me of GE, AR, AZ being part of the former USSR.
A blessed Good day sir Gabe Wowww A very Impressive Beautiful Vibrant City of Kazakhstan I love the Big Food Market, under Ground, Very Clean and Very Organizer, thank u so much again for your wonderful walk around tour video and Sharing your History about the Kazakhstan, Stay safe Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭🙏🙂♥️
With all the respect, Mr.Gabriel, the history of Kazakhstan starts not from the USSR. Our history is far much older than you read from Russian books or videos
hey! I watched once your video about Cairo a lot of years ago. It was about the Square Tahrir or something. Now I met you again! I live in Vienna already for 9 years and thinking about returning back to Almaty. What do you think about it?
Hello from Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Thanks Gabriel for sharing the world with us. It's currently 75' here at 9:43 am. Hopefully fall will return soon. Anyway just wanted to thank you for taking us along on your journey. Glad that you weren't in Isreal when everything happened. I first saw your videos during the covid shut down. I watched one of your Hawaii videos. Stay safe Thanks for all the information.
You can say it very briefly. All Siberian habitable territory in the South of this region have experienced the cruelest genocide from 17 to 20 century. While russians love to blame US for Indian fate. They completely excluded Siberian nations genocide from history books.
Actually the genocial policy remains nowadays and is related to literally all people whose country borders 'russia' and whose countries it does not border anymore as they have become a part of it.
How are ya Gab, long time no see your video s. Is everything alright with you. I hope you are enjoying. When is your next trip to Rishikesh in India. Just letting you know that I like all of your videos they are very beautifully explained.good work mate
Hi Gabriel, I'm not familiar with Paul Pena, I looked him up on Wikipedia not a lot of information, but it does give you an overall look at his life. Interesting to note that he opened twice for Frank Zappa, Mother of Invention, and Grateful Dead. I noticed when you mentioned Russia and Asia there is there is a blend of differences as you look around you don't see as many other countries there doesn't seem to be much assimilation.
Again, a geography, culture, and history lesson. 😀 Just in the last month, I've finally gotten my otherwise-pretty-good-at-geography brain around the Caucasus because of your videos. As a matter of trivia, back in the days of 8-track tapes, my brother and I were trying to create a tape of the greatest rock songs ever, each with veto power. I voted for Steve Miller's version of Jet Airliner but, alas, my brother vetoed it.
The name Russia exists only since 1721. It was called Muscovy from 1200 - 1721. And the original Russia is the current Moscow Oblast (region). Muscovy steadily expanded over the centuries by conquering Siberia,Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
Название Украина впервые появилось только в 1917 году. Это название придумал Ленин. Он же фактически и создал так называемую Украину. До этого момента Украины не существовало. Не было даже названия для этой территории. До 16 века Украина фактически была диким полем, степью, где кочевали половцы и печенеги.
I didn't realize I was so close to Tuva until I was editing this video and checked the map. I would absolutely love to go there but it's within Russia and as I mentioned in a previous video, I wouldn't go there with Putin in power, not worth the risk of ending up in a Russian prison. Mongolia is a possibility for later but I'm not going there next from here.
At least pay attention to neighbor states. Kyrgyzstan is called a second Switzerland, Tajikistan also is famous by its mountains, and Uzbekistan has rich historical cultural background.
Ethnic Russians mostly live in Northern Kazakhstan like in Astana,Karaganda and other cities. Almaty is in the South. You barely meet ethnic russians there.
You Tube just recommended that I watch a music video featuring the group Huun Huur Tu: their algorithm has become omniscient (possibly behause of AI) .. one ring to rule them all… i am spooked.
Following from your heads up on the taxi scams I´ve been trying to arrange a taxi with the hotel im staying. Sadly they are terrible at replying back...if unable to have this sorted I will have to extend my stay in Astana and skip my time in Almaty...its sad but hate being targeted by scammers...
This has been an interesting history tour of Almaty. As expected the Cathedral was beautiful. Thanks for the story of Paul Pena (didn’t know he wrote Jet Airliner) and his influence on you writing your Thesis on Tuva. Learnt something new there. Almaty has been a nice experience. ❤
In Soviet times, Moscow had 150 churches and 2 synagogues. Elderly people could come and pray there. Young people were discouraged from participating by various means such as shaming, violence, denying higher education, and unemployment. All Bible studies were prohibited. Houses of worship were for public display prayers only. Hebrew language studies were prohibited and punishable by prison. All priests were educated in the Soviet Union. No outside religious influence was allowed.
Gabriel, Hearing the history of this country is confusing . It seems one needs to know the regional history , in order to know the Local history ! Thank you for showing us around ,as well as untangling the history !
The Soviet Union existed only 69 years. The history of Kazakhstan,Ukraine etc. is much much longer than that. Why people from abroad always referring to the history of the Soviet Union every time ?? You have been to Georgia,Armenia & Azerbaijan and you know their history goes back over 2000 years ago.
If you ever want a partner to travel with I'll be so down to travel with you. Been watching your vids for years now. So many countries and places I'd love to see. Your awesome man thanks for the videos.
Russian Orthodox churches are incredibly ornate, gilding everywhere. They really beautify the interiors, but also the onion domes, which can almost appear like mosaics.
They destroy the religion of other cultures to build the onion-like ridiculous churches on the annexed or occupied territories, i would say that there are no cultures whose churches or any sort of places of worship any worse than that in terms of appearance
Religion wasn't banned, it was tightly controlled. Mostly they limited very much the number of active places of worship. It was almost banned in the first half or so of Stalin's rule, but then it got better. Interestingly enough, the place where Orthodoxy was kept on the loosest leash was Western Ukraine, as a compromise to the people over there, that were forced to switch from Greek Catholic to Orthodox (Greek Catholicism is quite similar to Orthodoxy, it was invented by the Austrians to win the allegiance of local Orthodox Slavs by keeping their customs but subordinating them to Rome, like regular Catholics; of course , the Soviets wanted to get rid of the Rome part and the links to Western Europe)
Gabriel, you touched on a very interesting topic which warrants a much longer discussion (although maybe not on your channel). Namely, all those diverse countries which were absorbed into the USSR. All with their own languages, culture, religions which were expected to suddenly forget their past and kowtow to the Russian state. As western Europe is now learning, multiculturalism does not work, not in Europe and not in Russia.
@robcanad Yes, of course, and that is what makes the world so interesting. But, (there always has to be a but!), when the cultures are so very diverse and there is no communality between them, that is when conflict arises.
Thank you for talking about the real stuff. So many people don’t understand that Russia has taken over massive parts of Asia and Asian cultures that the general public doesn’t know about. I hope these groups of people can find a platform and talk about their persecution
Kazakhstan is a bit boring compared to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, but I had a good time when I went there last year for a month. Hope you'll have time to venture out toward the Caspian sea area near Aktau.
Horse meat is consumed alot outside the English speaking world, especially Mainland Europe and Central Asia. Even here in Sweden we have our traditional gustafskorv horse meat sausages, love those!
Казахи - предки украинцев. Веками по территории украины кочевали тюрки- кипчаки - хазары, половцы,печенеги. Они смешивались со славянами живущими на территории украины. Так появились украинцы. Украинцы это наполовину половцы и печенеги. Половцы и печегенеги это тюрки-кипчаки, как и нынешние казахи. Таким образом получается что половцы и печенеги это близкие родственники казахов. В принципе половцев и печенегов можно даже назвать казахами. Настолько они близки. Поэтому вполне себе можно сказать что казахи предки украинцев. Раз украинцы произошли от половцев и печенегов. Ну или братья. Казахи братья украинцев. Украинцы на половину казахи. Многие украинцы кстати похожи на казахов. Еще один интересный факт это то что украинцы также как и казахи исторически жили в степях.
Gabriel, what a nonsense you repeat! Religion has never been banned in USSR. Religion was separated from the state, but there were acting churches, monasterys and mosques all around the country. And, respectively, orthodox schools and muslim medreses. Truly, not so many, as during the time of the Russian Empire, many of them were closed, but not all. And yes, member of the Communist Party couldn't be visibly religious. But for an ordinary person that was allowed. Believers were even among soviet generals - for example, leutenant-general of the Red Army Alexey Ignatiev (ex Major-General of the Russian Emperor Army and a count of the Russian Empire).
True. The only communist country in Europe where religion was banned, even in private, was Albania. Almost all churches and mosques destroyed and it was a crime for people to even worship in their homes. But no such ban in the USSR, religion was very very discouraged so to say, but not illegal at all.
There was about four periods in relationship between the church and the state in the soviet history. First, from 1917 to mid. 1930th the church, that supported the White Army in the Civil war, was in the doghouse. Since mid. 1930th till mid. 1950th the church was again supported by the state, because Stalin needed unity of all soviet and russian People to fight nazis. After Stalin's death Chruschov began a new wave of persecution. And after Chruschov's retirement till the very end of the USSR the church became almost a part of the Soviet state.
For what it's worth: "The government of the Soviet Union followed an unofficial policy of state atheism, aiming to gradually eliminate religious belief within its borders.[1][2] While it never officially made religion illegal, the state nevertheless made great efforts to reduce the prevalence of religious belief within society. To this end, at various times in its history it engaged in anti-religious persecutions of varying intensity and methodology. Believers were never officially attacked for being believers, but they were officially attacked for real or perceived political opposition to the state and to its policies.[3] These attacks, however, in the broader ideological context were ultimately meant to serve the ultimate goal of eliminating religion, and the perceived political opposition acted as a legal pretext to carry this out.[4] Thus, although the Soviet Union was officially a secular state and guaranteed freedom of religion in its constitutions, in practice believers suffered discrimination and were widely attacked for promoting religion." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_anti-religious_legislation
To be honest this city isn't particularly interesting (from what your lens has shown us anyway). Really hope you can get a rental car or some other means to take you into the country's interior and get out into the mountains, nature and historical sites etc.
you noticed i didnt talk about the people, they are the same all over the world, i talked about the political systems. but you chose to attack me as a person. then you are a troll and should not be on the internett@@lavalavalavalavalava

Russian Orthodox churches are incredibly ornate, gilding everywhere. They really beautify the interiors, but also the onion domes, which can almost appear like mosaics.
