The Road To Ratus 🇲🇩

- 🇲🇩 Ever been to Ratus in Moldova? Me neither and so I decided to go and investigate the place so you don't have to. On the way I met some great Moldovan people and of course visited some abandoned Soviet buildings.
Everyone can vlog in Paris. But getting 1 million views out of exploring Ratus, that is an extraordinary performance.
You nailed it.
He's simply an hero
Post apocalyptic tourism. Its like seeing the future of man!
@@botidobra6221 It's not postapocaliptic is more like what a corrupt government does to their people, even though people usually think soviets treated their people horribly the second half of the Soviet Union actually gave their people a somewhat decent lifestyle that old people in these villages miss, now they have to live with almost no money and that's pretty sad, at least Bald is showing the world about this and maybe make this corrupt governors actually care about their people just because of shame about what they did by filling their pockets with money
That choir was in Romanian not Russian.
This might be one of the best UA-cam channels of all time
PERIOD!!!!
I've seen his subscriber numbers go up really quickly recently. Now on 420,000, it sure must be one of the best!
MIGHT?? it is!
Before you know it, he will have millions of subscribers... 😉
The people are so kind where did he learn Russian
"In soviet times at this soviet bus stop, there woulda been soviet people doing soviet things.."
It’s so Soviet !
...and most likely being very miserable as well!
@@user-cf7pe3qg1c not just miserable! Soviet miserable!!!
@@kiradotee the locals were way better off during soviet times
So much sovietness
This is the last thing I would expect to find myself binge watching for 3 days straight. But here we are.
Ratus is hundred in the malay language.
it's been a weird year
@@khairulbariah6140 hi, where it is spoken, this language?
Malaysia, in south east asia. Capital : Kuala Lumpur. Next door to Singapore.
I am glad i found him he's the first vlogger that makes me want to vlog too
I wish I had this dude's social skills. But here I am, behind a laptop, locked up in my house, hoping no one will ring my doorbell today.
I'm an introvert and I feel you.
Ha join the club! I have social skills, pretty good I'd say, I just enjoy being home at home doing my thing, if someone asks to go to Belgium, or Japan or something sure let's do it, but again my favorite place is comfortably in my palace lol
It just takes practice. You have to get out of your comfort zone. Just go out and have a quick chat with strangers. You will get better and better.
@@ActionableFreedom 0 social skills? jesus are you delusional
I totally understand. When I feel that way and it gets me down, I just watch a few videos about those "hikikomori" in Japan, and somehow it makes me feel a bit better.
This has to be the only guy in the world that says things like 'this is going to be epic' when approaching some random village in Moldova.
Me too....
I love it how passionate he sounds when he talks about the soviet bus stop haha
Im booking my summer holiday to rattis right now....
@@kevincallaghan3212 ahaha
But those women he drank with in Moldova were probably some of the nicest women you could meet off the beaten path. They welcomed him in, gave him the best wine they made, and sent him off with a bottle. This is how the world should operate. Treating random strangers on the basis of love and warm-heartedness.
I just google my name and found this video and channel. Maybe I'm going to travel to Ratus in future.
you need to visit your ancestral homeland
lol
Hej Lasse
You will be always welcome my friend.

Imagine those two men going home late to their wives and explaining that they were late because they met an Englishman and gave him a ride in their cart. This is when the rolling pin comes out.
Max Kite - Right on! It seems like a really tall tale for their wives to believe.
🤣🤣🤣 OMG, probably
His genuine level of enthusiasm combined with his quality Russian really seems to help the locals feel less on edge. He’s the perfect host to travel through the former USSR and explain it to us in the West.
i agree, though he isn't a history expert he definitely knows enough to keep us in it
yes you right he is not expert but I definitely understand his enthusiasm! !!!
not just the 'west' tbh people all around the world have huge misconception of eastern Europe and former USSR nation because media are inherently America cebtric
I agree that the host speaks Good Russian and is Very Nice and Kind, even with the Babushkas, oh Babushkas
He's a Russian agent

I admire this guy's extraversion, how he just befriends everybody he meets

Charisma 😘
The countries he travels too it's easier to small talk with people because they have more time than money. In the wealthier countries everyone is in a rush for something.
It's different in those smaller villages. Those people don't get to interact with many, so they love it when he shows up because he is nice and usually is bearing gifts.
@@two-bit8502 yes ! Thats exactly it
His ultra extroverted personality helps though
but i like being introverted , its peacefull, a channel like this makes for good entertainment though
Love the interactions with the Lada gentlemen and the guys in the wagon as well. They remind me so much of my Italian relatives. So warm and friendly, wanting to show you everything. Even down to their mannerisms while speaking. It does make sense, as Romanians and Moldavians are sort of like the bridge between the Latin world and the Slavic world. Very cool to see!
They are my people:my soul (romanian blood!).So kind,so warm heart and harshly tried!😥.Unfair history!Happy Easter from Romania!🙏💝
I can’t even lie, I am so in love with him. LMAO Such a friendly and social guy AND the look of amusement on his face at his own jokes. Heartbreaker.
@ Kristin Corsiglia: Don't worry: I'm too old for him so I'm not serious competition. But I also adore him! What a likeable guy!
Honestly love the fact he goes to places the media don’t take you ..wana pack up and travel around the Soviet Union like mr bald

The men that let you tag along their wagon were just so nice, bless them.
Indeed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Getting 1.7M views out of filming a town in Moldau almost nobody ever heard before is fascinating. You need to be a special person to make this so interesting. I found this channel almost 1 year ago after watching the Desi Daru hunt of Mr Baldr. Definitely one of the best channels on YT
Yes, the same here, I watch only this channel all the time.
Btw there is one other channel I found who’s is showing some remote places as well. It’s called adventurous Archie.

Why does “Moldovan Road Trip” sound like something on Urban Dictionary?
That's when you pull over and shag in an abandoned building.
@@jimvicious5602 ahahah
So does "Road to Ratus"
Doesn’t sounds like it’s from urban dictionary because Moldova is not in Ohio
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dude driving the car at 7:10 is like the Moldovan Godfather. His strained voice sounds just like Brando in Godfather and his work of "different village jobs" is a definite double entendre!
He reminds me of the Russian player: "Only, is only gaem. Why you heff to be mad?"
He myek you offer you cyant refuse.
Hanfgurkenhasser yeah but that wasn’t his real voice
Awesome observation! So funny.
I thought he sounded like a Russian Elmo.
There are a few Moldávos living in my country 🇵🇹 and they’re kind and hard workers, they literally speak Portuguese in less than a year as they lingo belongs to Romanian language as well. As curious as it is, when I spent a season in Ykpaiha 🇺🇦 they thought that I was from Moldova when they heard me speaking 🤓
Bro my dad has the CD that you are playing in your car. It's Pavel Stratan and his songs are one of the best past of the road trips that my family makes by car to go to Moldova. I don't know how that happened but you are a true man of culture. Keep up the good work and all the best for your future
Do you know what the song at the beginning is ?
*Tourism to Moldova rises 1000%
1000% of 0 is still 0
To Ratush specifically....lol
That lovely Moldovan man that gave you a ride in his car had the softest voice in the world!
Sir Beatsworth 😂😂😂😂😂
think he was castrato?
Probably had cancer.
When I was a teenager I knew a guy who had a voice like that. Great guy, a bit shy but wasnt afraid to talk. Never asked what caused it, but I remember a mate saying it was something he was born with that would eventually lead to him going blind in his 20-30s. Don't know what happened to him, tho'.

In Ethiopia we have thousands of Ladas that were donated by the Soviet Union. Almost all Ladas are now used as taxis and they are painted blue as all taxis are in Ethiopia. Very iconic and built to last
Ladas are pretty much eternal
"Built to last" lol are kidding? Lada is a cheap garbage that breaks all the time, my father used to spend more time fixing it than driving. Here in Eastern Europe Lada either your first car that you know you gonna sell after a year, or if you are old man and you dont have money to buy something better
Denis well like I said there are thousands of Ladas still running in the very poor roads of Ethiopia with very limited spare parts available. Mind you these cars are 30 plus years old. If that’s not built to last I don’t know what is.
Lada is shit. We have none in Romania
Качество этих автомобилей зависит от года производства.
I think Mr. Bald is always running Into good people because he is radiating with good energy! Its true you put positive energy out you get positive energy back
Except the 100 ruppee guy
The drunken guy in Belarus, the fake priest/shaman and rupees guy in india etc etc. Usually you get treated well, if you behave well. Act like Harald Baldr, and you get shit all the time.

Many years ago Moldavia was part from Romania i wish we (Romania could reunite again with Moldavia
"But it's still is a piece of past! That I love to just be a part of just for a minute or two of my life. And imagine what life was like" .. ah nice words!
You could walk around London for years and never meet someone as kind as in Moldova in 5 minutes

Just found this channel and i am allready in love. Amazing content showing of how a real traveler does travel. Its not fancy restaurants and wine tasting with copyrighted music playing along the way lol. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting to really see how some parts of the world are! And I love learning about their way of life
are you seriously gatekeeping traveling
He likes to experience the place, to interact with locals, travels to places where an ordinary tourist wouldn’t go. That’s what makes this channel different and interesting
I never stated the opposite. I only pointed out how ridicoulus it is to imply that anyone who doesnt travel to backwater, lesser known places isnt "a real traveler"
There are two types of people, those who get attacked by geese, and those who geese flee from in terror. It's about confidence, probably.
On the white column it says “Eternă memorie celor căzuți.” which means “Eternal memory to the fallen.” and for those who know how to read Cyrillic better, it is pronounced like “Етернэ меморие челор кэзуць”
Actually sounds better in romanian.
At 09:13,the text in Romanian:"Eternă memorie eroilor căzuți" =Eternal memory for fallen heroes.

This guy needs a television show.
That'll probably just ruin the content gradually
@@audiofile8311 the more popular he becomes the more shite the content gets, unfortunately, that's how usually things work
He’s been offered a few (look at his Instagram) but refuses to do them on moral grounds. Here in Britain the mainstream media especially the BBC spread false information on Russian and former Soviet people to demonise them to help increase tensions between the west and Russia
TV is slowly dying anyway, independent creators should remain independent and considering the amount of subs he has he can easily be funded by his fans
@@kilindogma9711 exactly why pay for television, these days we have something superior like UA-cam with amazing content creators who deserve more, this is top notch stuff I can't wait for the future, I don't watch TV anymore instead this is what I watch.
Min. 3.45 .... That's in Romanian, the original and national and real language of Moldova and Transnistria (although they speak Russian, or too much Russian even today 😔). It means "eternal memory of the fallen heroes"! Great video btw!

@@suggestiveguy Yeah you're right, each country has it's beauty (and ugly parts I guess) Chisinau is a very ugly city (especially in the winter months, summer is very green so it's not as noticeable) but that's because of the politicians who don't do ANYTHING just steal, but the country itself in the rural areas has some very beautiful places.
Btw it's my wish to one day visit Armenia, from the pictures and from what my Armenian friends told me, it's a very beautiful place. :)

I loved Ratus! Simple friendly farm folk. Neat, tidy houses. Birds chirping and a BEAUTIFUL church. The brickwork at its entrance giving a hint of how much thought had gone into the building. (The stones made me think that jewels had been embedded in the walls). But inside! SPECTACULAR! The light and colours contrasting with the grey bleakness of the houses and winter countryside left outside. It would have been good to enjoy for a while, something loved that pulsated with "Life", and contrasted so vividly with the abandoned, broken relics of a once occupying, foreign force.

I been watching your videos for days. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck on your travels
I’m doing a full re-watch and this one was really good. The small interactions along the way, the stopping to reminisce and take in the history…I always try and imagine life back in the height of the USSR in these towns…
I’m also doing a full rewatch

Welcome to Moldova. I'm Romanian and I've been in Telenesti and in many other cities in Moldova. Come and visit Romania too. We do not have that many soviet things today, but you cand see some if you search for them.
