Look Who I Found In The Chernobyl Zone!

- 🇧🇾 I had been searching the radiated forests of the Belarus Chernobyl zone for my friend Kolya but with no luck. Then I drove to the nearest village where there was one last. inhabited house. I knocked on the door and waited....
Don't forget to check out my blog for all the behind the scenes stuff and more! lostgopnik.com
That moment when Kolya probably thinks he is very lonely, when in fact he is the most famous man in the whole region by now.
"It's better to be a small potato but on your own land"
~Kolya
> doesn't know what internet is
> gets quick explanation
> "it's what rules the world"
This man does not have a clue that he is known all over the world.
I love the way Kolya practically jumped into your arms when he saw you -- he was so happy. For me that was the best part of this video.
"i will be your woman"
"oh you blabbermouth" what a player.
You should buy him a radio if he wants. So he can listen to music while he is alone. I would donate money.
Kolya has advanced Parkinsons Disease and the leg pain is likely associated with this. There are medications avialable which can markedly reduce the symptoms of PD. Perhaps organising treatment by a specialist in the city may be possible by crowd funding and this would likely both improve and lengthen his life.
'Its better to be a small potato on your own land'
-Wise Stalin 2019
"a coward does not play hockey"
I love that.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Coward_Plays_Hockey
It's a russian proverb
Thats the name of the famous Russian song about 60 years old. It was written as the anthem for ice hockey in USSR. But soon the phrase became useful for any situation that requires some extra fitness, strength and wit. It now means "you can't back down if you're going at smth big".
@@AndreiBerezin wow,the ussr really does have a anthem for everything
Your friendship to this lonely old man is valuable, loneliness is a general problem of old people
This is actually kinda heart-melting hearing Kolya getting ecstatic to see his friend.
From Kolya’s perspective what a strange thing this must all be. A bald Englishman shows up randomly from time to time lavishing him with gifts and money. We should all be so lucky to have a UA-camr come to our house.
Or you be the guy that surprise others ? The odds are high on this one.
Dougtube we should all be so lucky to have someone care as much as Bald does for Kolya!
Some bald man talking to a thing on a stick. Bald probably looks like the crazy one to him.
That's hilarious
@@sm3296 good content ;D
"You don't mind if I show friends who you are..."
1.27 million friends 👍
SNBoomer it would be great if Ben set up a P.O Box and asked us, all of Kolya’s friends to send him a picture postcard of where we live. Then he could deliver them the next time he visits. Kolya wouldnt be able to read any messages but he could have beautiful pictures to look at from around the world that would brighten up his home and he would know that for each postcard, at least one person has been affected by him. I think Kolya would like to see other places besides Belarus. I hope Ben sees this.
Poor Kolya.
he doesn't have a clue, that people like me,
knows him from a place so distant as Argentina.
Please bald, you HAVE TO keep us updated to kolya he is a holy person of this channel now.
I'm amazed how he travels those distances while he can barely walk
" Don't say it's the last time. We will meet again. Don't worry"
An internet sensation that doesn't know what the internet is.
I agree we should get this guy checked out. We could easily fund this
“It’s better to be a small potato but on your own land”.-Kolya.
Kolya is a lot smarter than he looks. He is a practical man. Better to be a small potato on your own land...I hope he stays ok and wish him luck. Mel
Love this guy. He doesn't even know the internet. I've used "It's better to be a small potato in your own land" 4 times this week and each time people nodded and looked at me like I'm a professor. Hilarious.
Heard Bald has lost his hearing in his right ear after the drive to local shops with Kolya..
Kolya is an internet sensation. A wise man with a good heart.
Hopefully he has some nice babushkas to keep him warm in the winter.
The best quotes
Яuяal Squiяяel I don’t think he was impressed by the one doing her shopping for taking the pi$$ out of his odd shoelaces 20 years beforehand. Imagine being with a woman who still brings stuff up from 20 years ago!!
kolya still packs tons of stamina though it may not seem like it
just like what Kolya said "Two mountains will never meet each other, but two humans, eventually, will!"
Am I the only one that got emotional when he left?
Bald is seriously Santa Claus for this man. Bald is even wearing a big puffy red coat.
Did he get a new coat with his money?
He does look better
Now Kolya have someone who he can wait for....like an old father wait for son at old age home....Pure relation ❤
"It's better to be a small potato but on your own land."
Belarussian wisdom.
This is beautiful, two men from vastly different worlds form a friendship and respect each other regardless. You mean alot to that guy and it's nice to watch, makes a change from all of the other hate and intolerance in the world. God bless you bald.
Old man with Parkinson's in the middle of a radioactive zone in a country I didn't know existed for half of my life just gave me inspiration quotes.... humanity came so far
His mate said "let me come with you" and he just shouted out "there is no need" 😁
Koyla talks like the old captain of the ship
I'm glad you are checking on him. Merry Christmas.
Kolya is the modern day Socrates. He always has a quote.
Most of us go through our entire lives without being greeted by someone the way Kolya was so happy and excited to see bald 😢
Celtic Barry that’s how Im greeted by my dog everyday I come home from work :)
When we are drunk we can get pretty emotional. And kolya is drunk alot haha
We get what we give.
Damn right
No history book I studied as a student could pass on understanding the way videographers like you do! Because of people like you, Humanity will remember! In a Thousand years this old man will live again in the chronicles of the people of Earth! Thank you my bankrupt friend!!
Everytime Kolya open his door, he says something wise 🙏🏼
"The world is built on such things”
When Kolya saw Ben at the door, that was a display of such a raw, unscripted emotion. That man may not have too many material items in his life, but clearly he holds dear the truest and most important things in life, and most prominently being love. Kolya clearly loves Ben, and I'm sure his other friends as well. I am always so happy to see this man, though I am sure he will never know or see me in return. Always wishing the best to him, and his simple life.
it was beautiful
i can not type it better. :)
Jake Mosca -wow so many likes but no comments? Chernobyl is like the twilight zone.
Im belarussian, and im proud that we are of the same blood with Kolya.
Thanks to him, that many people will find out that in our poor country there are a lot of good people/
Calm english man: I found you kolya
Angry radiated kolya: LOUD RUSSIAN WORDS
Who else breathed a sigh of relief when kolya was at the door??
“A coward doesn’t play hockey!” 💯💥
Kolya has more internet fame than many people trying to get it. Bless that bent little alcoholic down to his toes.
"I was a Belarusian
I am a Belarusian
And I will stay a Belarusian"
Kolya is the salt of this Earth. Love to you from New Zealand.
“The world is built on such things” Kolya should be in Silicon Valley!!
I don't care what anyone says, Bald and Kolya was the best collab of 2019.
NFKRZ: Am I a joke to you?
@@TripleDDDD exactly 😂😂
Harald and Kumar
@@TripleDDDD Roman's great and his channel is excellent, but Kolya is a simple collective farmer.
okay you can see bald friend from norway his name harald bald you can see on his channel
When Koyla is happy he yells. When he is upset, yells. Sad yells. ... Koyla only has one gear.
I love how he ran into your arms when he saw you at the door . What a wonderful video this one was !!!!
Legend has it the babushka is still laughing at his laces to this day.
Damn, just one tear rolled down my cheek when he hugged you. I love this channel so much, everyone is like friends, I don't feel like a stranger while reading comments. And we can see how the comments changed from Russian memes to the real talks, reality, life. You're an awesome human being Bald
"Its better to be a small potato if its on your own land" damn, thats deep
you are bald but not bankrupt... you are the richest person... you have the wealth of 'kindness'... your friendship with Kolya is special... 🙏🙏
When he said "it's better to be a small potato but on your own land" I felt that
"Better a small potato but on your own land"
"Coward don't play Hockey" - Kolya
Woww just wowwwww
Hats off to this man, and to you Mr. Bald
Visit him after the pandemic! I hope he is well.
Dang... That dude was tryna get out of the house and ya'll left him.
"it's better to be a small potato on your own land"
Kolja, 2019
It's kinda heartbreaking in a way when you say goodbye.. I mean the way his living is kinda unimaginable nowadays.. Imagine he'salone in that very huge place and doesn't have the basic convenience in life, specially it's very clear he's not that strong physically now, Spending your little time must be a huge thing for him.. Can't imagine i can survive in that situation. I might die from loneliness.. Very inspiring. Kolya is a very strong man..
9:05 is such a sad moment, the way he's waiting for him to leave and waves goodbye to him
I wonder if he's still alive...are Bald still allowed to travel to Belarus or nah?
That hug was everything the look of pure joy on his face when he see you 😭
I find this story absolutely fascinating. Everyone who has watched Kolya videos know about him but he doesn't know what the internet is and that so many people know about him. In the previous videos comments people were worried for him. The two total polar opposite - Kolya, alone in the radiation zone and all the thousands of people from across the world connected and following his story. Massive respect for Ben going there and bringing these two totally different worlds together.
The pure joy kolya felt when he seen you standing at the door,it is clear that you made a huge impact in him.
"A Coward does not play hockey" Kolya 2019
0:30 might be my favourite moment in any video ever. The sheer joy from Kolya when he sees his friend again. This is so right in so many ways. The joy you give to people by just being yourself and being genuine is amazing Mr. B&B
No director ,no script writer, no art director, no professional cameraman, but a beautiful Oscar winning sentimental videos makes every one in this world to think and feel about this material life that we live today.
I love how Kolya yells about everything it honestly makes me so happy that Kolya is Kolya
A gofundme should be raised to help Kolya and the whole village. That is the kind of thing the world needs.
I 've rewatched the moment when he first sees bald and hugs him at least 5 times❤
Love it how Kolya just drops these pearls of wisdom now and then.
Whenever Kolya speaks it's like he's up on a arena trying to convince the people with what he's got to say. XD
I am literally watching this video 50th time just for Kolya, m happy to see he has some friends. Love from India
*I hope to see Kolya once again in the near future. He is truly a strong man.*
Edit: I forgot to say he is truly inspiring and bring tears to my eyes I feel bad for him being lonely even though he is the strongest man in the entire planet.
The way Kolya reached out and hugged Bald 😭😭😭😭
I think we can all agree that Kolya is one of the essences of this channel.
The whole arc with Kolya is one of the most humbling yet heartwarming experiences I have ever known.
He’s a tough old bird. Absolutely a classic. The stories he could tell with life lessons for all. I’m 🙏 he is still with us in 2022 physically and if not he will be mentally and spiritual.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” no guessing which kolya is...
"Don't say it's the last time,
We will meet again don't worry"
It's feels so good to see Kolya again!

дядя Коля такой милый одинокий старичок, видно, что душа чистая у него, через многое прошел.. спился.. но все равно человек, видно, что хороший.
спасибо, что радуете и помогаете ему!
I feel you.
Kolya needs some solar powered lights goodness me living there with no light
That hug made me tear up Ben. Like someone said before, Ben has a heart of Gold and Kolya has a liver of Iron :D
Lets bump this
And lungs of steel!
@@0GuruCS People don't call him Stalin for nothing
That's all slavs. Trust me. My whole family have iron livers.
It's a pretty serious problem.
If his liver isn't iron, then it's definitely uranium 235. He's definitely one strong soul and a lovely person!
Kolya has no idea how famous he is. Even here in Hollywood California we are watching his videos.
I would love to see how Kolya looked back in the day. Also more about his life: was he married? did he had any children? has he ever been to Minsk? what about other places? Congratulations on making so good content Ben, keep it up!
This man has more joy in seeing an old friend than I've seen at any family Christmas! The life we share in this space of time is amazing.
*You have a big, big heart Mr Bald* ❤️🌍
I felt sad seeing Kolya left alone at the end
Bring back Kolya on this channel...its one of the most interesting things here..
God damn it that GENUINE human connection moment sure makes ya realize wheter you still have emotions deep down in your heart or not.
Hey Bald, you should bring him a solar lamp because he doesn't have electricity. It would be useful in the winter.
then hes gonna have to pay electrical bill lol
Andrej Nikolov mate I was thinking the something here. How can we send something to him I will buy and posted . 👍🏽
Guilherme Campolina SOLAR LAMP!!! It charges from daylight...no electricity bill required. I remember a few years ago, in my car I had an emergency torch which worked by winding it up. There was even a wind up radio invented by a chap, but I agree, a solar panel is easy enough but if Ben hasn’t got the knowledge to do it, it could be a pain. We had a solar panel on our old van to keep the leisure batteries charged up but now it’s on my grow shed where it provides heat and light for my CBD plants. I have a strain called Medxotic for my fibromyalgia. They’d benefit Kolya too
@@Gorrash do you understand what the term solar means?
Bald: Do you know what the internet is?
Kolya: The what?
Bald: UA-cam?
Kolya: explain it?....
Kolyas generation will be the last to ask what the internet is
He’s like a Belarusian father jack
The part when they reunited, hugged each other and laughed was a truly touching moment. Both of them were so happy to see an old friend again.
Apparently radiation doesnt affect this guy. He is a hero.
The friend kolya was with seemed very socialized and intelligent, strange thing to see him live there. I would like to know his story.
I agree..Bald should be careful about throwing money in kolya direction.. Neighbor's get jeloius.?
Kolya is probably the most honest person I have ever seen.
