  • 🇰🇬 Ever wanted to know what life was like in mysterious Central Asia? Want to see what kind of hotel rooms a couple of $ will get you? Well join me as I drive across Kyrgyzstan in search of a town called Miley Suu and on the way meet a host of characters in the semi-abandoned villages of the country. Oh, and I found a nice apartment block for us all to move into.

      Noone would move from Ukraine into Kyrgyzstan by their own will.
      Of course there were also Ukrainians who were sent to different far regions of USSR after graduation from Universities. They were appointed by government to different high-skilled jobs to teach local people. It was a common practice to mix population from different regions.

      As a Kyrgyz I could say that as much as I hate communism Kyrgyzstan actually had its greatest days during Soviet Union. We used to be just Nomads roaming around mountains and velds then Russian Empire showed up and started their colonial campaign which caused genocide of our nation but then Great October Socialist Revolution occurred which completely changed our course of events. Since our nation back then was primitive and most of them lived in yurts we didn't have any infrastructure let alone a city. So under soviet regime government exiled a lot of people from all around USSR to help us build our country. Our lands were young and not exploited for resources so it was in priority to treat our nation well. Kyrgystan is independent and where it is now thanks to USSR. But it doesn't change the fact of them committing horrible crimes against other soviet countries. Our country now its poor because we couldn't sustain every institutions and infrastructure that was developed throughout these years since all orders used to come from Moscow and when USSR collapsed our country became pretty much
      Anarcho-capitalistic country and it is to this day, roughly speaking.
