It has long been a dream of mine to ride the Trans-Siberian Railway. I was actually in the process of planning the trip when Russia invaded Ukraine. It is still on my bucket list, but obviously isn't gonna happen any time soon...

Why can't this bloke find out how the names of famous cities is pronounced instead of mangling them up?

Love the visuals! Keep up the good work, man. You‘ve gained a follower❤

immense video.. thank you again 🙏

amazing video, this. thank you!

I Still miss cigarettes 😢.. But glad a quit years ago ...

"Durr it was a gigantamania project by an autocrat" You realize it not only paid for itself 1000 fold, it also saved the Russians during WWII. In December of 1941 when the Germans were only 29 kilometers from the Kremlin, there were only about 10,000 infantray defending Moscow from over a million Germans ready to attack the city. As the Germans paused to await supplies for the final push, the soviets loaded all their armies defending the east against Japan onto trains and shipped them from Kamchatka along the Manchurian border, back to Moscow in time to save the country.

According to available information, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, when converted to today's dollars, cost roughly between $770 million and $1 billion in today's US dollars. By way of comparison, in the 2024 US presidential campaign, Kamala Harris spent approximately $1.3 Billion USD.

My god what a champion video. Visually stunning and richly illustrated, with powerful imagery and really insightful historical quotes.

RAF seem based

the editing is so good that I can't regist my eye

18 minute yap

never respect a zionist

I just love a good cigarette.

i didnt know hozier did all these things (i listened to the video in the background)

I became very curious of Iran's religious fundamentalist practices after the death of Masa Ahmini. Many young Iranian's have been fighting for more secular and progressive values for years and it's a shame they're voices are quelled, even now in the modern day.

There are enough People famous ones, besides Politican. 22 Nobel price winners, People like Niklaus Wirth inventor of 3 Programming languages etc. But as US Notes are not secure enough for Switzerland.

Crazy that when western countries put images of their history or culture on things its normal. But when Russia does it its propaganda

I'm from Albania

The style points are OFF THE CHART with this one

120 hours is nowhere near the longest kidnapping lol

Well clearly not because North Koreans cant leave, and Albanians are everywhere but Albania

Zo much kabobs were lost 😢

Is there any other country in the world that changes their currency every 25 years ? Fun fact ; the bills from the last series are convertible after one year only at the HQ of the National Bank of Switzerland in Bern…! I wonder how much in benefits are noted from banknotes not coming back !

Now I want the cards...

Smoking a cigarette watching this

This is what english teachers expect us to write on the exam

What, worrying about letter bombs? Leave it out. Think your gas bill or giro gonna go bang?

Lmao, not to be too friendly with Israel... what changed, now?!

NGL, I never met a smoker who wasn't at war....usually with the 'demons' in their own heads. Me included, every smoker I've known has anger and or anxiety issues.

I live there on Albania

So, you're telling me I have to buy a vertical wallet when I visit Switzerland?
