As a Romanian, it is heartbreaking to see this. On one of the walls of the observatory's staircase you could see the sentence "Acest oras merita mai mult" written on it. It's Romanian for "This city deserves more" and I agree. Romania is plagued by similar corrupt politicians. My heart goes out to Moldova and its people!

Wait, I understand half those words... After some Googling I found out that Moldovan and Romanian are technically the same thing, I didn't know that. I speak Spanish and Portuguese so other Romance languages are easy-ish to decipher... Pretty cool to learn more about a country I had little knowledge of.
Cool, thanks for the info. I was in Iraq alongside Romanian soldiers and was able to understand enough Romanian to know when they were cheating at cards lol
I happened the same here as Russia after the fall of the USSR. The people who immediately grabbed power simply pillaged everything they could and left. Russia has dozens of Oligarchs who own almost all of the wealth of Russia but now live in the UK or Spain. It is the same with Moldova, all of the politicians in 1991-1995 simply stole everything of value and left. Only now with the younger generation is there a sense of national pride, and things are being built up again.
From what I heard, Chisinau shaped up over the last few years. Also, the fountain in Great Park got cleaned up and is now operational. My friend told me it’s a common hang out spot now
umm probably because the buildings were likely built around the time chernobyl’s were. it’s like saying a house in miami looks like a house in Lexington, ofc there gonna look similar
I left Moldova 30 years ago , never had a chance to visit my homeland. I am heartbroken to see the sadness in city which was one of the best during the USSR. Clean well taken care of, tourism was flourishing. It was a beautiful city full of life and happiness. Shame to politicians and crooks to ripped off their own country.
Unfortunately same goes for many other former socialist countries my friend. The oligarchs and the politicians that they serve them are the ones they say that socialism failed and that it doesn't work.
So sad. I’m from southeast asia, where most of the world regard as “poor”. But the poor in my part of the world can live better natural life (if they are so desperately poor) because of favorable climate here.

@@tarunkumar.d8379 im so happy for the way you look on us Filipino sir, but i think there's no better assessment than those who actually lived and raised on our very country so we think we're poor/ Third world country.

I’m from Moldova. Moved to the US. Usually I would be offended at the comments on my country but they seriously only say the truth. Never visit it. It’s a beautiful country in itself, but full of garbage everywhere and a very very corrupt government.
DOGE the government is truly stupid and corrupt but how can you say it is full of rubbish everywhere, Orhei is a very beautiful and CLEAN city along with others, if you wanted your country to do better you would stop talking trash about it. At least Moldova doesn’t have sickos like America does
ChickenNoodleSoup With an Ego let me correct myself. CHISINAU is full of garbage. At least where I used to live, it was. But I’ve never really been to Orhei so I can’t stand for that.
When I was a kid, I fell in love with this boy from Moldova. I was at the Italy that time and I met him at school. I really think that he’s cute and kind. I used to chat him and he will kindly reply back. Sadly, I had to return to my country and remember crying thinking that I would never see him again. I tried to find his name in social medias but I can’t seem to find it. Wish I could meet him again and confess my feelings. ✨

I'm currently in Chisnau in 2023 and I absolutely love it. The people are so warm and the women are absolutely stunning and much friendlier than those in North America. Also, prices are beyond cheap. It's very possible that authorities saw this video and made some changes because downtown chisinau is lovely and filled with cafes/restaurants and modern life. Love it here. From Canada
Agreed, I am visiting Chisinau now and it's nothing like the depictions in this video. Great city life, clean, and warm people. I'd recommend it for any European to travel to. At the hostel I am at, I've met people who are visiting for 2nd and 3rd times because they enjoy it.
This guy is really a showman. He did not show the main streets the church, the Parliament area, museums, embassies area, the parks. It's just selected some horrible delerict places to make videos on and keep saying how how good Russia is. He does not know that almost half a million people were sent by beautiful Russia to Siberia to squash and kill any unrest and even today with Transnistria they keep Russian army at 60 minutes from Chisinau (the capital) in Transnistria and if you dare to sat anything bad about the Russians army you can get more than a half a decade of prison time for starters. If he had any sense or backbone he would ride the bus from Transnistria to Moldova and see how people go daily from the Russian frozen conflict area to Moldova (as poor as he screams out it is) just to have something to put on the table. There is a saying "You can't talk morals with a hungry man". The country is at a geopolitics faltline between the European Union/NATO and the Russian Federation, the weaker this no man's land(arguably, with Russian army in there) the easier it is to keep it broken and derelict. He picked and chose history and misdirected. The country, Moldova is part of a people - Romanians. The Soviet Union had troops on the border on Romania and gave Romanians 48 hours to leave the country or else full invasion of all the country. We lost it without fighting, which is sad I guess, but we are a small country and the Soviet Union was the other world power at that time with USA. So they took occupied, sent to Siberia or chased away any resistance and by braking away half of the historical region of Moldova from Romania they created this frozen conflict - why Moldova can't join the EU and is 4 times poorer than the rest of us Romanians living in Europe. This is why they get passports from us, to have a chance of a better life. There are nice places to see in Chisinau and Moldova (and Ukraine) both are dirt poor but also offer a different perspective than you would get if you would visit Italy or Spain. I would recommend visiting Transnistria, its like time travel to Soviet times, a little bit like North Korea (you will like it).
@@ciuby4147 I think he believes that Soviet Union was bad, but he wanted to show what corruption can do and that the country doesn't have to be so corrupt or maybe even Communist in order to prosper.
I visit them, they are good but not that good. For exmple i change 100 RON (romanian currency) and i received 400 LEI (moldavian currency) and when i was talking to people like shops or restaurants their first word is in russian which is disturbing since they want to reunite with Romania but they still kissing russian ass and not the old ones even the younger ones. But as a country yes, they still are poor. I cross the country by train and village after village with no lights. That's why many teenagers come to Romania, become students so they can receive romanian citizenship and after that they can run away in Europe. It's not a country that you can visit them to see something nice, you go there to buy things cheaper, that's all.
From what I've read most Moldovans would like to reunite with Romania... for Romania however this is a problem because Moldova is a poor country by comparison (remember when West and East Germany reunited, that was very expensive).

@@evgenigradinar2731 I did a little research and I believe you are right. While some polls (from pro-unification sources, mind you) do suggest a majority favor unification, most polls suggest the opposite. It seems pro-unification is about 25% of Moldova, while anti-unification is about 60%. Now polls among Romanians suggest the people of that country have a majority favoring unification.
@@juanrescudero7271 in 1918 we were all united, but then split under Ribbentrop-Molotov. I as a Romanian consider them compatriots, same culture. I have Moldavian friends and they also think the same and would love to unite any day of the week(like many Romanians do), but on the other side of the Prut it's a bit more tangled. For one, there are still minorities that appeared during the USSR and that don't want it. Many don't want it because of political reasons and consequences and how hard it would be to merge. Some people, mostly that use Russian as their main language(even though theoretically Romanian is the official language. Moldova has its own dialect just to make it clear) want unification with Russia. Moldova is caught in the middle. Stats say that 55% don't want to unite(someone said in an interview "even though I would love to unite with the motherland, I am afraid about ruining our relationship with Russia". Consider that they are near Russia and it wouldn't take long for Russia to do something about it). Back to the stats, 25% say that they want to unite no matter what and the rest can't decide. Even though many consider we are the same people and culture not all are looking forward to this. There are also some that feel that they wouldn't fit well under Romania. Consider that under USSR people moved around the country and not only the older Moldavians remaining in the area. Also some Moldavians just would rather be independent. So even if many would like to, even some are undecided because of consequences.
@@iamverycrazy The part with romanian citizenship is because it allows those moldovans acces to work and travel in the EU since Ro is part of EU. As for Ro beeing a poor country i'd beg to differ since most ppl can afford a decent living with rent,bills and living covered from a wage of 400-500 euros which is earned from a menial job in major developed city's. That's of course not all over the country though and it is certinly not close to the living standards of western europe, however it's enough to go by with your monthly needs.

The best thing was when a family invited me over for celebrating Easter Sunday at their parents home in the countryside. But it‘s true, most people in Moldova hope that their kids make it out of the country because there are really no opportunities in the country. I wish the people of Moldova that things will get better soon.

I'm in Chisinau right now and it's poor for sure but the city is a lot more pleasant than the impression you get from this video. It's very green and a lot of the pavement and benches have been renovated and there's even some pedestrianisation going on. Maybe because there's a new government, but I can't make that judgment obviously. I expected it to be way more dreary and depressing.
O boy.. I was born in Kishinev and lived there till I was 15 years old. The National hotel was called Intourist and it was made for foreigners. It was one of the most beautiful and impressive hotels in the city. The fountain in front of this hotel was so beautiful it was printed on post card throughout USSR. I used to visit the Observatorium when I was a small kid with my mother and listened to lectures about the stars and planets.... That is sad... The city was almost completely destroyed during WW2. The city was rebuild in white stone with a single general plan to make it comfortable for living and transportation. And the underground road crossings were build using beautiful and impressive red pink gray and black granite plates. It all looks terrible to me. I understand why nobody wants to visit this country
I’m 16 years old and I was born in Kishinew. I’ve never seen the city like you describe it, but I know that maybe I will see it even better in the future. Or at least I hope...
Both of you two go back to your country and make it. Lamenting or hoping for its better future wouldn't do any good. I'm my country, we kicked out the corrupt political leader and brought in Imran Khan as our PM.
In fact many parts of big Polish cities, like Łódź or Wrocław also looks depressing. xp I lived in a dorm in Wrocław a bit north of city centre where there was nice park and University building where they teach architecture, but completely surrounded by old and dirty 2-storey buildings (kamienice) built during German era. I disliked going through it to work. xp There are jokes that the centre of Łódź is said to cost less than 6$. They renewed some buildings in the city centre, but 2 crossings away is the place where poor people live. xp But I have to say that many poor people are addicted to alcohol and it's very hard even for officials to cure them from the addiction. On the other hand houses aren't cheap. xp

As a Romanian, it is heartbreaking to see this. On one of the walls of the observatory's staircase you could see the sentence "Acest oras merita mai mult" written on it. It's Romanian for "This city deserves more" and I agree. Romania is plagued by similar corrupt politicians. My heart goes out to Moldova and its people!

This guy is really a showman. He did not show the main streets the church, the Parliament area, museums, embassies area, the parks. It's just selected some horrible delerict places to make videos on and keep saying how how good Russia is. He does not know that almost half a million people were sent by beautiful Russia to Siberia to squash and kill any unrest and even today with Transnistria they keep Russian army at 60 minutes from Chisinau (the capital) in Transnistria and if you dare to sat anything bad about the Russians army you can get more than a half a decade of prison time for starters. If he had any sense or backbone he would ride the bus from Transnistria to Moldova and see how people go daily from the Russian frozen conflict area to Moldova (as poor as he screams out it is) just to have something to put on the table.
There is a saying "You can't talk morals with a hungry man". The country is at a geopolitics faltline between the European Union/NATO and the Russian Federation, the weaker this no man's land(arguably, with Russian army in there) the easier it is to keep it broken and derelict. He picked and chose history and misdirected. The country, Moldova is part of a people - Romanians. The Soviet Union had troops on the border on Romania and gave Romanians 48 hours to leave the country or else full invasion of all the country. We lost it without fighting, which is sad I guess, but we are a small country and the Soviet Union was the other world power at that time with USA. So they took occupied, sent to Siberia or chased away any resistance and by braking away half of the historical region of Moldova from Romania they created this frozen conflict - why Moldova can't join the EU and is 4 times poorer than the rest of us Romanians living in Europe. This is why they get passports from us, to have a chance of a better life.
There are nice places to see in Chisinau and Moldova (and Ukraine) both are dirt poor but also offer a different perspective than you would get if you would visit Italy or Spain. I would recommend visiting Transnistria, its like time travel to Soviet times, a little bit like North Korea (you will like it).
@@ciuby4147 Yes thank you, finally someone pointed it.

As a romanian i didn't knew our neighbours are so poor ,i feel so sorry for them even if we are in the same waters
I visit them, they are good but not that good. For exmple i change 100 RON (romanian currency) and i received 400 LEI (moldavian currency) and when i was talking to people like shops or restaurants their first word is in russian which is disturbing since they want to reunite with Romania but they still kissing russian ass and not the old ones even the younger ones. But as a country yes, they still are poor. I cross the country by train and village after village with no lights. That's why many teenagers come to Romania, become students so they can receive romanian citizenship and after that they can run away in Europe. It's not a country that you can visit them to see something nice, you go there to buy things cheaper, that's all.
Is it common to go around with guns there? I see there are laws on carry of firerarms,but are they enforced? Or people mostly do their own thing?

Are you Moldovan? I heard most of Moldavia wants to reunite with his bro Romania. Is that true?
@@juanrescudero7271 in 1918 we were all united, but then split under Ribbentrop-Molotov. I as a Romanian consider them compatriots, same culture. I have Moldavian friends and they also think the same and would love to unite any day of the week(like many Romanians do), but on the other side of the Prut it's a bit more tangled. For one, there are still minorities that appeared during the USSR and that don't want it. Many don't want it because of political reasons and consequences and how hard it would be to merge. Some people, mostly that use Russian as their main language(even though theoretically Romanian is the official language. Moldova has its own dialect just to make it clear) want unification with Russia. Moldova is caught in the middle. Stats say that 55% don't want to unite(someone said in an interview "even though I would love to unite with the motherland, I am afraid about ruining our relationship with Russia". Consider that they are near Russia and it wouldn't take long for Russia to do something about it). Back to the stats, 25% say that they want to unite no matter what and the rest can't decide. Even though many consider we are the same people and culture not all are looking forward to this. There are also some that feel that they wouldn't fit well under Romania. Consider that under USSR people moved around the country and not only the older Moldavians remaining in the area. Also some Moldavians just would rather be independent. So even if many would like to, even some are undecided because of consequences.
Juan R Escudero Not Moldovan just thought it was a little funny that Moldovans want to move to Romania a very poor country.
@@iamverycrazy The part with romanian citizenship is because it allows those moldovans acces to work and travel in the EU since Ro is part of EU. As for Ro beeing a poor country i'd beg to differ since most ppl can afford a decent living with rent,bills and living covered from a wage of 400-500 euros which is earned from a menial job in major developed city's. That's of course not all over the country though and it is certinly not close to the living standards of western europe, however it's enough to go by with your monthly needs.

I'm from Moldova and I left, but you almost made me cry because it's true
I left as well, but the video is entirely subjective, there a lots of good places in Moldova which mr Bold won't show, and I personally saw abandoned and ugly places in Bristol, Leicester and other places in the author's motherland, and drug addict ''gopniks'' too many of them.
@@streetfightermd rightt... because he has any motive to 'not show them intentionally' huh?
if you think there are lots of good places there, then go back. How about that?
no?
ok then face the reality, you can have 1 beautiful house in moldova with swimming pool , but if the rest of the nation is in a very bad shape then what is this few beautiful things meant?
@@andi2658 you don't have to take it personally mate, I'm facing the reality for my entire life, I'm only making a point of not taking it as it's all shit and drunk dudes around, because hey, people are commenting, they're comparing, and thats undermining even more what's already been broken. What's your problem?
@@streetfightermd since you mentioned it, I'm truly curious. What are some of the good places in Moldova? Are all the politicians equally evil as he claimed they are in the video?
@@verbalwound5874 thanks for the reply, I could recommend to search for visitMoldova like videos, or looks for a vlog, it's a matter of taste, if it worth a visit, ask someone who been there and you may trust, the one thing I can say is every country is good in it's own way. Wineryes, great fruits, organic and so on, we have it all. About the politicians there's a confrontation going on, there were a generation of thieves and the thing is going on to this day, as everywhere else in the world, but there is hope as well.

wow that is the first time I heard that getting a Romanian passport means escape to a better life.
szililolabu Because with a Romanian pass you can go to Western EU to work and stay without any restrictions anymore. But Romania it’s just a s**t hole country as well a colony of EU!
@@adrianstere how times have changed!
@@adrianstere ești înapoiat mintal frățioare 😂
szililolabu Yes, I mean compared with many other countries who are not part of EU and their citizens have to go trough a hell to get a job in Western Europe for Romanians it’s different.
But because Romania it’s now a colony of EU, they exchanged VISA free for the resources.
Romanians are not like Polish people for example to love their country and not give up on the country for a VISA.
That’s why Romania it’s 50 years at least behind Poland on everything but most specially on mentality!
Romanians will sell even their mother for a visa free travel pass! So they sell their country to EU and US in order to can go and clean the toilets in the west for a better wage! Pathetic but it’s true!

I’m German and I went to Moldova two years ago for a long Easter weekend. Yes, unfortunately, the country is pretty much run down, but I met really beautiful people. As they are not used to tourists, a lot of people would approach you and start having a conversation. The best thing was when a family invited me over for celebrating Easter Sunday at their parents home in the countryside. But it‘s true, most people in Moldova hope that their kids make it out of the country because there are really no opportunities in the country. I wish the people of Moldova that things will get better soon.
This is all because of Hitler and Stablin, you know..?? as they call it... because KGB had to "find" an old an historically accurate name for the place, was actually supposed to be part of Romania nowadays, but sadly, they're all pretty brainwashed and still kissing Russian butt... I bet you Germans are all having a good laugh at this situation! Well, don't forget, who laughs last... laughs hardest! >_
@David Compestela WoW, thanks for the update! >_>
um please don’t go into strangers homes, like ever. Doesn’t matter if they look normal just don’t do it.
Phi xo Believe me. Ive travelled app. 120 ocuntries, I know what to do or not. The guys I met were mixed couples Moldovian plus other nationalities from Europe. All spoke perfect English, and their invitation was super kind. In general, Moldova didnt seem any more dangerous than most other European countries. Talking about people, I really liked it.
thinktwice Yeah well i was sexually assaulted by my own friends and someone who rescued me whilst on holiday, you can’t trust / don’t know who anyone really is so it’s best not to put yourself in the situation.
When you go to Moldova instead of Maldives
yikes

maldives is pretty horrible too (the residential areas at least), i lived there back in the early 2010’s, and being a white person there was hell, black people would throw glass at us and give us death threats
Laughed out loud here 😂
8:22 I love how on the wall is written "acest oraș merită mai mult" wich means "this city deserve better".
That's so depressing omg

Sounds good. People deserve better, so take some actions , say fix fountains, do something to attract global travellers . You just can't wait there for a charming prince to save you from this bad situation.
@@rosy1972song Did you even watch the first 5 mins of the vid ya idiot
8:27 - On right side of frame 2 meter wall of text on russian says: "You only go out after nightfall, like the rats, the cats and the monsters."
That's from "Un homme qui dort", very depressing
Holy shit... A passage from un homme qui dort on the walls daaamnn
When i saw the vid, don’t know why that painting took my attention and I was wondering what could that mean... pretty deep, as sad... and as truth.
Hope things get better for you Moldovian folks, you deserve it; cheers!
I wish they improve! I wish them luck and goodness. Thank you for educating us.
@8:26 the graffiti in red behind him actually says "this city deserves more" ... I hope things will turn around for Moldova.
When people write graffiti like that you know shit has become intolerable. Really sad.
Well and across the wall in black paint is something like "You go out from home only when its got dark. like a rats, cats and freaks."
There is definitely going something wicked in this city...

The wheelchair access for the stairs looked like minecart rails.

But I use a wheelchair and stuff like that "wheelchair access" make me to laugh-cry to the idea 😂😭 the only places achievable to me are the polished soul-less mass-tourims attractions... Anyhow, I'm happy there's people who make videos like this 😊
Wheelchairs out there are mine carts mate
Oh believe me, no one had wheelchairs in mind while making those, because the state doesnt care about people with disabilities - thats the sad truth. These rails were made for baby strollers.

I'm in Chisinau right now and it's poor for sure but the city is a lot more pleasant than the impression you get from this video. It's very green and a lot of the pavement and benches have been renovated and there's even some pedestrianisation going on. Maybe because there's a new government, but I can't make that judgment obviously. I expected it to be way more dreary and depressing.
the way he painted it in such a shitty light literally makes my blood boil
The wheelchair ramp is like a god damn roller coaster!
People in wheelchairs also need to have fun, afterall lmao
Looks like two parallel Hotwheels tracks.
It was designed for Military purposes, Einstein
I think it’s probably more for shopping buggies or strollers.
That's exactly what they look like in my country too. I'm afraid the people who dare use them might cross to the afterlife in seconds XD
greetings from Moldova! btw, the government started fixing roads, budings, and others and those stairs in the beginning of the video are fixed now :)
Great to hear!
Maybe after this video they decided to fix it before more "tourists" will come with the idea of doing more this types of videos.
Good to know, you deserve it
Congrats at least there are improvements.
Did the government force you to say that? 👀
O boy..
I was born in Kishinev and lived there till I was 15 years old.
The National hotel was called Intourist and it was made for foreigners. It was one of the most beautiful and impressive hotels in the city.
The fountain in front of this hotel was so beautiful it was printed on post card throughout USSR.
I used to visit the Observatorium when I was a small kid with my mother and listened to lectures about the stars and planets....
That is sad...
The city was almost completely destroyed during WW2. The city was rebuild in white stone with a single general plan to make it comfortable for living and transportation. And the underground road crossings were build using beautiful and impressive red pink gray and black granite plates.
It all looks terrible to me. I understand why nobody wants to visit this country
@UA-cam Deleted my Other Account for Mean Comments I am 45 years old. Not too old😉

Well, we are depressed! :,(
cause it is
i can literally say that they are, lived in Moldova for 10 years
In fact many parts of big Polish cities, like Łódź or Wrocław also looks depressing. xp I lived in a dorm in Wrocław a bit north of city centre where there was nice park and University building where they teach architecture, but completely surrounded by old and dirty 2-storey buildings (kamienice) built during German era. I disliked going through it to work. xp There are jokes that the centre of Łódź is said to cost less than 6$. They renewed some buildings in the city centre, but 2 crossings away is the place where poor people live. xp But I have to say that many poor people are addicted to alcohol and it's very hard even for officials to cure them from the addiction. On the other hand houses aren't cheap. xp
