- What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than bargain hunting at Minsk's biggest flea market at Zhdanovichi on the outskirt's of Belarus's capital. Highly recommended.

An idea for a new video, maybe on some Urban Exploration in Belarus would be cool, similar to Mr. Bald visiting abandoned villages/towns in rural Russia :)
It's in the pipeline.
Do you have video at war museum?
Try to focus & zoom the camera in the stuff so we can see it clear
Subtitles wouldn't be a bad idea at all. I've got a hunch that most people watching this video don't understand Russian.
My young son (17) would go absolutely crazy at this flea market. He loves old Soviet history and memorabilia and has built up quite a collection of things. In particular he loves old Soviet Militaria and collects war medals. This place would be his idea of heaven lol
Greetings from Ireland, fair play to you for taking a risk and building a new life in such an interesting place
I’d love to visit Belarus. I have been fascinated with all things Russian and from the Soviet since I was a child. I finally visited Russia in 2018. Turns out that I have Russian roots. I had no idea!
Siobhan28483 came here because of bald 🇮🇪😂
Duuuuude I am an american 'euro-mutt" you could say. My grandfather was belarusian and my aunt looks extremely russian and so do I. I just wanted to say that I REALLY appreciate you giving the world these videos, you are showing me a country that I feel in my soul and hold near to my heart, even though I knew absolutely nothing about belarus before watching your videos. thank you so much :*) your appreciation for the beauty of this place validates something deep in my soul. Thank YOU!!!!!!
Hi. You live in USA? You never don't was in Belarus?
Americans are euros and euromutts, the rest are temporary workers who need deportation.
I like this fella, very entertaining, just wish you could have gotten a closer view of the tables.
In the States we call this a Flea Market or Swap Meet.
Boot Fair in England. As in car boot!
Checking you out from Bald, must say I mis-characterised you after the directional loss finding the abandoned pioneer camp, had you as the type firmly rooted in cities, non-explorer type, but I watched you vid on how you got to Belarus etc and a few others and good stuff. I live in Romania by choice, things that attracted me here, been here 4 years, I don't vlog as such but enjoy my exploring and capturing stuff and many things about Eastern Europe that are in my heart,...I've booked ticket to Belarus later in the year for 2 weeks, will check out the market if its open in colder months and catch up for a beer would be awesome.
Who doesn't love a Belarus mat for your home!
Awesome you appreciate the little things. Treasures can even be found in Minsk. Well done.
I went to that market when I was in Minsk. Fun place. Basically every large city in the old eastern states have a market like this. Avoid the one outside of Sofia though. Kind of a scary place lol.
What is on sale in these markets is very very interesting , much better than modern apartment stores and supermarkets .
I love these type of markets) I could spend all day, exploring such a market, to discover something interesting)
You bought a pioneer badge. Komsomol badge was the shape of a star.
no it wasn't Komsomol had a red flag and pioneer badge was a form of a star.
I came here after seeing you chatting to Mister Bald. People all over the world love flea markets and car boot sales, but you went round so fast we didn't really get a chance to browse! you could certainly go to more flea markets, but not so fast. I think people also like knowing the price of things, well I know I do. I don't know what camera you're filming this on, I'm guessing a phone on a selfie stick. There seemed to be times you were talking and we couldn't hear. I think Bald's point was very true, film what you are interested in. I've liked and subscribed. Dos vadanya.
Spasibo Fraser. I use a GoPro 7 camera. I used to use a mobile phone camera. Many thanks for the comment and suggestions. I will take them on board. You guys are what makes this channel. I am still learning having only started this project in early August. It's a learning process and it takes time. Dosvadanya brat.
Irish Partizan I would agree with this critique of slowing down just a bit, & giving us a bit more of a look. Also, is it possible to add English subtitles for the conversations you’re having w/ the locals? I don’t know, maybe that’s a lot more work, but I for one am very curious as to what’s being said 😉. I also subscribed to your channel, & found you via your interview w/ Mr Bald. Enjoying your videos.
D Shepherd agree with you but we need prices please.😃😃
Sunday market at Ayr racecourse.
😂 . I was thinking the exact same thing. I wonder if Irish John would like this place
Some of those medals are Chernobyl liquidator medals. You should have bought one of them.
Lots like the Flea Market in San Jose, California.
This was fun to watch!
Love the hat.
Your fan from India
love videos like this, greets from macedonia.
Ви благодарам!
When you say thanks a lot, you should say Спасибо большое, but not Спасибо большой 👍
Flea markets are awesome!!
i wish i could teleport to that market so i could add those soviet bills to my coin collection
Interesting market! Would love to see another video at this market.
Looks like Modern Talking is still popular in Belarus
To the locals this is mundane but to a tourist it's exotic
It a flea market only in another country wast of my time
I love it. That's what I call free market. This is begining of capitalism in Belarus. Historical moments.
In romania we have this too, it's called "obor". Awsome place where you can find almost anything
We have it as well and call it "a market". Doesn't like every country have a market?
Where is the best obor
@@xlbubblehead2505 Did you miss your medication?
Dis Boi : brides also
I've now watched all your videos i now never need to travel to Belarus
This looks like a really cool place! One of the things I love about Eastern Europe is all these huge markets full of crazy stuff. Been to a bunch of them in Ukraine. I'll have to check this place out eventually when I make it to Belarus.
Wellcom in Belarus.
I love Soviet militaria. Iv'e quite a bit of it. I'd have been jostling you over the badges. I suppose you already own the order of the red banner. But every one is worth a further look. Low numbers are treasure. Lipped pressings and other oddities can mean the difference between 2 figure numbers & 4 or 5 figure numbers in value. I'd have been there all day & skint at the end of it.
3:34 english subs "a scott destroyed possum da da okay what's the new blade ah"
😆😆 I pass there, every Saturday/ Sunday and it's always packed! You didn't need that warm hat this winter! 😆😆
did you see any soviet watches ? when i was In Russia i bought heaps of em ! some with red star ,army tanks etc
It would have been cool to actually ask for prices here and there so we can know how much stuff costs.
Hi Daniel, 3 belorussian rubles ~ 1€ i.e Misha badge = 1€ , gloves which he bought ~3€ and so on
I would buy up all the old tube electronics
i'd love to see you visit the market again, but look closer at the old soviet memorabilia
Very interesting ideea to visit a post-soviet flea market but you went round too fast, we couldnt see much. You could pay more attention to the antiques stands in the market. Especially those with old soviet badges, medals and decorations. Soviet Union and the other comunist countries too, had a great culture of badges. Nearly every institution and domain of activity had his own badges, pioneers badges especially are very interesting.
12:01 a lot of nice medals the medal for the defense of Moscow, medal for the defense of Leningrad, medal for combat merit, order of the red star and he even has a German iron cross
@shutup Most of the medals I listed above aren't really that expensive in the first place the most expensive one (order of the red star) would probably go for (without its documents because the ones in the video didn't seem to have documents) 50-60 dollars max. The more expensive ones are the order of lenin, order of the red banner, order of suvorov, order of kutuzov etc. maybe If you found medals/orders like those in a flea market like this you would be able to make a profit worth your investment.
Btw, there will not be any rockets at that market :D The funnest thing I saw in a store in Belarus was shotguns. Ukraine is where you buy the cool military stuff on random fleamarkets. A friend got 200 bakelite 30 round mags for AK47:s last time he was there. Bribe a cop for a permit and get the AK47 in Ukraine :V
I like your channel, take care of yourself big boy.
Will do.
I have seen a few videos from Belorus and what I notice, the streets are clean and tidy.
No rubbish no litter no cigarette butts and beer cans etc.
These fleamarkets are usually hotspots of littering. Yet, here I see neat pleaces.
I love these markets where they have local products, lot of rusty second hand bargain stuff, cold war relics etc. garage sales style with very flexible pricing :)
Instead of buying all that trash you should think about investing in a newer camera capable of filming in at least 1080p! Try a Gimble also!
Probably not your cup o' tea, but I'd be fascinated to find retro soviet gaming stuff, be they electronic, video, or board games.
Game Czar They absolutely crap.
I love a good market ! I want to go travel to these countrys ..i have a daughter with and russian woman and a son with a lituwana woman need to learn russian language properly ..enjoy your travels .i have many irish friends also .one love everybody from london uk
Ooo that tank clock at 2:09 is very nice, I suspect some of my Soviet collection heralded from prob this place originally, I am on the hunt for a Chaika Stadium NOS case as mine is scratched too deeply, a stem for an original Sturmanskie Gagarin and a Poljot fish-eye Olympic 80 as I also collect Soviet Olympic watches too. Bit of a Soviet nut with my ex Soviet fleet ensign on my wall and a large large collection of Vostok's and other brands.
You paid £17 for that Matt 😳
Surely you heard wrong?😦
God, this soviet things on ebay are priced in 40€ or more, i have to go there
your russian is a little rude but no worrys, Benjamin will teach you a little ;)
@@SamsRussianAdventures shure, actually he speak it pretty well for a non slavic visitor. Its just a cultural thing.... i also respect it a lot that he likes to be there.... my Family left Misnk ASAP in the 90s....
i know this is late but i am here thanks to mister bald
I would have a field day at that market, especially with the Soviet stuff and army surplus
Its flea market for sale near auto market for sale chip autocars in Zhdanovichi near Minsk.
A bit like going for a drink down the pub with your mates, but all on video!!
О! Поле цудаў! :) Дзякуй!
Its a pioneer's badge. Komsomol badge has a soviet flag with Lenin's face on it.
Looks amazing certainly where I'd head when U go to Minsk. Skole ka stowit , my translation into Latin script us probably wrong but 'how much' is the universal phrase when traveling
I was waiting for David Dickinson to make an appearance
i was expecting AK47S and more by the title
Haha just had to get the mat. Interested to know since you have been there for so long, are you still renting an apartment or did you commit to buying one?
I am still renting.
@LGM ITS SOVIET TANK
😢😢😢 ... Those war medals. Probably most of them are the veterans who are selling their own badges... ☹️😢
Someone buy all those badges and put them in a museum under the names of the achievers. Or create a small museum for them and the visitors tickets money goes to the achievers.
This is amazing, I would waste a whole day browsing that place.
Did this market exist in the soviet era?
This particular one exists since ~1993; AFAIU it started out as a car market. There are plans to move it further away from Minsk however. The place is to be converted to a residential area.
ONE SIZE FITS ALL
17 euros too much for a worn carpet.
Thanks for showing us Minks. Have you thought of doing a tourist guard business part time? Cheers
8:47 in sweden that cap is called bear vagina for some reason,
one of my best mates says it each winter.
Haha I love it! How do they say it? Björnfitt? i lived in Sweden for 8yrs never heard that :) Wish i'd had the chance to tell my ex mother in law to sätta björnfittan på huvudet!
I come from khmelnitsky the bazaar is awesome.
Sir show the items closely At what price u bought the gloves not shown
that was pretty believable
Very good and informative blog obviously the prices were good (how much did you pay in Euro? - just to get a perspective)
Great video and glimpse around a Minsk flea market. Is it always grey and dull weather in Russia? Or is it the time of year?
I'm not in Russia.
And always cars are dirty there.
@@IrishPartizan hello again from Dublin sorry for mistake I just realised That Belarus was part of the Soviet union but no more. I have been binge watching your videos and learning a lot. I would love to visit Minsk when this Mexican beer crisis calms down and we can travel again. We are in phase1 here in Irekand but still very restricted. I am fedup.with it but eventually we will be fine.
I would suggest you post this stuff maybe on ur Facebook and also be a personal purchaser for interested people
I don't know if you are aware of this but most of the countries that fell under the former "iron curtain"(soviet block) have a lot of huge flea markets like this😅
Is that name Lithuanian?
@@ivanravenski Name seems Romanian to me. Def not Lithuanian :)
Actually, the first hat’s very becoming.
oops, my favorite sport--roaming at flea market)) your russian skill is very well, but bargain skill is to improve.
I'm a bit rusty on the bargaining skills I admit.
@@IrishPartizan no problem, dude. the key point of bargain is you must be shameless. following Mr. Trump's tweets is a quick way to learn.:)
Would be much more interesting if you told us the prices on things
15:55 Maybe it's just me but can't help to be a little suspicious when I see an assortment like that.
Tips: Watching hero shots of you is not interesting. We like to see the person doing the vid, but that is not the subject of the vid. It is like watching a fishing vid to learn about how to fish, and all you get is lots of hero footage of the guy catching lots of fish and you learn nothing about the rig or bait etc... same here. If other people will let you, we want to see them. You have a really cool subject matter, show us. When showing something like stuff at the flea market or a picture or a statue etc. Zoom in, to a close shot. HOLD STILL let the shot establish. The final shot is cut to only a few seconds, but it is close up and clear and still and we can see what you are looking at. We want to see what you see, instead we get a shaky quick glimpse of just some stuff. Learn to cut cut cut. You must chop the bits of fill, walking shaky panning about.. the useless stuff. It just fills space and makes the vid too long and uninteresting. You have an interesting location and opportunity. Finally, the title is a good hook, but there is nothing at this flea market that I don't believe. It is about the same as any I have ever been to. Anti tank gun, ancient samovar, some historic item , that is what you alluded to. Never happened. Hope it helps Good Luck on your channel. Peace
Very good as always!! A question please related to visa, if you know..How is it for someone married to Belarus citizen?? Thanks
Hello Friend!! did you see any musical instrument like trumpet or trombone there?
Yes I did. They sell them there at the market.
You didn't find my glucometer there, did you - it was stolen on the No. 5 tram in Odessa in 2013 (it probably actually landed up in Privoz flea market, if you know that)?
I like the hat!
Please put the Russian subtitles.
abhishek kumar : start learning englis
I love places like this great video by the way Bald sent me here.
medals are cheap, but everything else seems pricey - or is that just me?
I would go crazy there for sure. Bring MONEY ! How can you see stuff if you just walk down the aisles ?
Looks like 90-s never ends in this country.
10:38 Its not KomSoMol its Peoneer star, BTW.
You should’ve visited stadion 10cio lecia in Poland back in the 90’s .
There is stil market like this in Białystok. Most of clients are from Belarus.
Wow....who would guess......outdated Soviet JUNK
You actually look like an average soviet man in Ushanka.
i like ur videos on belarus......genuine review......how can u speak russian very well?
Bald: "oooh thas a SoViEt Flea Market"
Any Soviet telephones at the flea market?
Loads. You can buy anything there.
What is the location of this market ? Or name ?
Hello.. can you tell me where is it in Minsk??
Where is this market?
Lol at the title of this video.
when is open , every day ?
is there any chance of you stopping and showing us the stuff, you just keep saying what there is and don't show the items close up thanks,
I’d like to know the USD , like how much in dollars you actually were paying. Would’ve been interesting
