Chechnya Isn't What You'd Expect!

[@furbs9999]

One of the things i love about this channel is the lack of flashy intros and graphics. Pls dont ever change, keep it real.

[@Perkelenaattori]

Ruslan is honestly a credit to the taxi driver profession.

[@roughnegg6615]

12:30 Driver actually said "If just one hair drops off your head then I'll be responsible for it" which means - Driver takes full responsibility over a foreigner since he is now a guest and guests are treated with respect and honour in Chechnya.

[@xpto41]

This guy is in Chechnya, in the deepest part of europe, randomly taking trains and buses to villages and old towns, only with a bag, pair of shoes and a mobile phone... incredible

[@flying-ant7935]

Why do I even pay for cable television.... this is all I need. Best channel ever

[@danthamanization]

mate, I dont take my dog for a walk without ID, and you just traveling up and down in Chechnya without papers?? you kidding me..😂😂🤣🤣👍

[@tilidie5272]

this guy has the biggest balls ive ever known a man to have, his week is filled with more adventure than my whole life has ever been

[@eggyegg777]

I’m a girl and this channel sometimes makes me wish I was a man so I could go on crazy adventures and not worry about being sexually assaulted by some weirdo, but luckily I can live vicariously through Mr Bald here

[@Savv-]

12:20 Ruslan says: “Like I told you: if a single hair drops from your head, I’ll be held responsible.” («Я же тебе говорю: хоть одна волосинка упадёт с тебя, с меня спрос будет») Guess he’s lucky Bald’s bald.

[@GordonForeman308]

I think if this channel has proven anything, it's that slavic states have the best radio stations.

[@MultiBrownstar]

Bald, are you desperatly trying to get on the watchlist of every intelligence agency around the globe? 😀

[@popstarresearchingoblivion8778]

Mr. Bald: "Rrrjrruuutchtch murrjrrduu?" Random chechen: Switches off the safety lock of his kalashnikov

[@y0neh472]

*"We've got soup with some kind of testicle in it"* This dude has been out of the comfort zone for so long he has become imune to freaking testicle soup

[@yusufs.3797]

I'm from Chechnya and you are a mad adventurer 😂😂😂 Loved it man, they are not used to tourists yet so don't be astonished if they stare at you the way they do. By the way the pronunciation of the Chechen expressions is on point 😂😂😂😂 at least the sounds.

[@mikek3974]

These videos restore my faith in humanity. When you stop seeing people the way your government wants you to see them you see you will find decent people anywhere you go

[@joel2052]

10:42 Mr bald: your not gonna sell me? Taxi: huh? Me bald: your not gonna sell me there? Taxi: you? *nervously laughs*

[@SilverfoxJB]

Bald almost daring the Taxi driver to kidnap him so he can have a tip

[@VenturiLife]

Was checking him for kidney function... maybe wasn't up to scratch.... : -)

[@emoboy2008]

I like it how you give no political commentary. You just wander around and have fun like a normal human being.

[@ThinkerYT]

From coca leaves to testicles in under a week. This man needs an award!

[@jerrypie]

The serious tension when he gets pulled up while still wearing a big fluffy hat really gets me

[@wokandwoll4lyfe]

bald stroking that hat every 15 seconds wishing he had hair

[@dookoo2]

I love how you made Ruslan pull over so you can show off a bus stop.

[@klwthe3rd]

Ruslan was amazing! I even felt safe traveling with him and I'm on the other side of the KZbin! 🤗

[@rockie8254]

You in Andrew Anderson s comments too

[@louiswoodward8937]

KZbin: hey wanna watch this random English guy travel across the arse-end of nowhere? Me at 3 am: wtf why woul-.. actually, yeah, go on then.

[@TrystaneTheBlack]

this is heaven, 18 mins of bald and bankrupt in russia!

[@ashwinraghunath4453]

Sorry I don't know much but isn't this europe?

[@MGSBESTProductions]

@@ashwinraghunath4453 Technically yes... but realisticly it's culturally more aligned with Russia. You wouldn't go here and expect it to be anything like western Europe but more like Russia

[@Pantsinabucket]

@@ashwinraghunath4453 Chechnya is an autonomous republic in the European portion of Russia. Silly doopa.

[@morchario]

@@ashwinraghunath4453 yes. Chechnya is still europe

[@someonewhosupportukraine]

From all this videos i understand just 1 thing. All people are brothers and all people must be friendly with each other

[@patio87]

I get the feeling they made him put that Akhmad Kadyrov images in at the end.

[@Radiant-Edge]

A Englishman driving around Chechnya in an American car, what a world.

[@brandonsteinbach4208]

Something about this video reminded me of when I first found this channel and binge watched pretty much every video. I really enjoyed this one I can't wait for the next video.

[@kevontakram6169]

Bald: there's no pavement Bald: Hey look a soviet pavement

[@SamBelony]

"Красивый машина есть, как бедный?" - это звучало больше по-чеченски, чем звучат сами чеченцы. Быстро учишься, молодец.

[@CarboardTrain]

You're so brave: I'm Russian and I can't even imagine the reason I would go to Chechnya. Honestly.

[@mikeyoung8547]

2:00 "Its not a place to make enemys" the irony lol

[@AsatorIV]

It's really refreshing to see a travel vlog done by someone who knows his stuff! Thank you!

[@TheBestPeepRus]

I love when Bald finds a random taxi driver that takes him on a wild adventure. Shows just how different he is from other travel-like channels. The fact that he’s eating a hearty meal after all of this driving is warming to the heart. I simply love this channel, thank you bald for these videos

[@chrisoakleyfx]

Instant sub, so refreshing to see a travel vlog without all the flashy gimmicky editing and music and the overly (fake) enthusiastic twentysomething vlogger... just kidding, you're obviously a twentysomething ;) You're style is so basic and down to earth and you're genuinely interesting to watch! Keep it up!

[@PaulisInclusion]

How about going to vladivostok? I think you would like it.

[@slickdealer2099]

Russian dude walking by. Bald: 👀 Look 🤲, a Soviet Soviet.

[@GermanFreakASMR]

I think Ruslan didn't convinced you to stay with him, he just locked the doors 😂

[@lexpei1917]

I'm from new Zealand and I love your vids I had no interest in the country of Russia but watching you and all your history adventures is making me fall in love with Russia as I too love to visit and learn about history . keep up the good work love how you keep it real

[@kamariroberts4349]

When you watch these videos you dont know what to expect but you know it's going to be good.

[@scottkain511]

Bro you literally have one of the best channels on KZbin or TV period. I can't believe I just found out about you last week, I wish I had been watching this all along. Awesome videos man. Keep them the exact same way. Never change. Just awesome buddy. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@roomslave]

Бенджамин - Как называется башня? Руслан - Башня.

[@polako215]

Bald you have to go to Kalmykia next, Europe’s only Buddhist state.

[@baldandbankrupt]

On my way now

[@oishiigaijin]

I'm curious to see your backpack and what you carry with you on your travels.

[@richiehops7881]

"Wow look at the mountains of Chechnya! Imagine falling off here!" Why is he so optimistic!? 😂

[@NancyReiderLittleGranny]

So strange to see the city. The war was so long ago, but those images of a battered grozny is all I know of Chechnya.

[@fromnsk]

Russians joking in comments: His chechen accent is better than chechens actual accent

[@badchefi]

The “Bus stop” looks like it was designed to act as a defensive position for a road block.

[@ZinoFromWhere]

This looks like a Call Of Duty modern warfare map

[@ajayaday91]

I've never seen a channel blow up quite as fast as yours but all of your videos are gold! Keep crushing it dude! Cheers from the USA!

[@MrSilk13642]

Ruslan is the hero we didnt expect, but needed.

[@Gimilli]

love every video you put out. i know you've heard it 100 times before but you really give me an insight to a world i know i most likely will never get to explore. keep on keepin on.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Just totally great to watch , as always :) Thanks for doing that and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

[@dr_yeet9399]

For somewhere as 'dangerous' as Chechnya is known for it seems to be a really pretty place with respectful people as long as you speak politely and have a sense of humour, plus Ruslan made the video even better than it was.

[@Andrew-dp5kf]

This is seriously good I’m glued to the screen, very impressed! Both content, and production values way beyond expectations. Best of luck with your channel.

[@Dylan-lw1xc]

I’ve found from watching your videos Midwestern America where I live is almost the exact same as Russia and Eastern Europe. It kind of surprised me because were taught to hate them and them to hate us.

[@jocivtrance700]

One of the best episodes yet! I'm too type A personality to go on a random adventure like that. We live vicariously through you big H! Keep the new content coming!

[@KeralaHerald]

I'm indian, I lived grozny, chechnya for 3 months, beautiful place with kind hearted peoples !!!

[@rexhargrove5172]

I have wanted to visit Chechnya since I was a child and read about it in encyclopedias. Such a fascinating culture and absolutely beautiful country. Excellent video!

[@Russian_Frontier]

The last seconds of the video with “Don’t be afraid to visit Chechnya” and “memorial” Ahmad Kadyrov picture at the end and your comment that you have crazy mad thing to share when you reach safe place made me think that you got censored by chechens lmao

[@CrazyMonkey679]

I'm from Ireland and i'd love to visit Chechnya one day seems like a lovely place with great people

[@burner52445]

This is the best content I’ve run across on KZbin in a while!

[@johnmckenya828]

I'd feel safer in Chechnya than Mexico that's for sure.

[@tylerg2000]

Everywhere this man visits could be a new location for a far cry game 😂

[@Oestberg79]

Excellent video! Makes me want to see more of Chechnya!

[@falcone5287]

Nothing makes me happier than watching your videos. Keep it up!

[@steveeb00]

Good to see you're still alive after your Bolivia trip.

[@kamariroberts4349]

He is so friendly, he makes friends where ever he goes.

[@MrDands]

Try being friendly and speak English only.

[@jimmyb719]

Slowly getting through all your videos, keep up the great work. Love how friendly and respectful you are to the locals 👍👍

[@ln5321]

"I'm not going to make any jokes about Chechnya and be super respectful because it's not a place to make enemies." Seems like it was too late for that already.

[@mattyjmar10]

I was in Chechen earlier this year and LOVED IT! It was my first time in The Russian Federation. I hope to go back.

[@TidewaterC]

That hat looks like it was made from Jeff's mum.

[@permin9533]

Okay, now I want to go to Chechnya! It's so beautiful there!

[@Matthewjohnwilson]

I really love these videos. When ever a new one comes out I always make sure to watch it right away :)

[@TheJegkkon]

I'm so envious everytime I see these videos of you going into mountains.

[@Derp___]

Every upload is just a “subscribers I’m still alive” notification now 😂

[@conorsutton4577]

Lol! So true! Glad he’s safe

[@leighton4589]

For real 😂

[@angelFTP]

Imagine being bald’s taxi driver and going on a whole trip with him without actually knowing who he is

[@Kooldood.]

Hey bald I just want to thank you for making me and my family laugh. Had dinner together with the fam and wanted to show them your crazy adventures and they enjoyed them lol.

[@itsQueen]

i love how pure your content is.

[@Avarua59]

Just keep proclaiming "Khabib number one!" and you'll do fine.

[@Suikage]

I’m so proud of bald, his channel has really taken off. You deserve it man. What a legend

[@GandalfTheGrey11]

How to say 'how are you' in Chechen: Orcs, Mordor!

[@mirthbaron1525]

Ruslan was comfy and enjoyed the banter, those defensive towers were indeed interesting.

[@ChapaNDJ]

Oh hell Yes, this is exactly what i was waiting for right before going to bed. Thank you, bald. I love your content!!

[@necroplastful]

Its been 6 months since I discovered this channel and i still whatch everything religiously!!

[@aestheticsbyjasmine940]

Those mountains and scenery stunning 😩😍😍😍😍

[@jeroenjanssen3941]

I really like it how much he talks about Belgium in his videos, this was the second time. It ain't that much but for such a small country it means a lot. You can really bring a smile to our face by doing that.

[@mofostalistic]

I was in tears when he was teaching you how to pronounce the word

[@MudGod1969]

The video quality is awesome Ben! Love the hat my friend! Be safe, much love and respect from the states...

[@paulfahy9101]

When they put that hat on you I nearly cried with laughter , Khabib would be proud !!

[@thejasonbischoff]

From these comments, it’s scary how sheltered people are.

[@blkbelt203]

I can't stop watching his adventures ! So interesting .

[@sakina1308]

I live in Dagestan. Very interesting to watch😃

[@Koboldoss]

Man! I wanna sleep and your video shows up. I must watch it first

[@dancolton4935]

Bald is a genial Man ! His job is very creative and deep. He is a real sociologist and psychologist. Interesting, instructive and charming voyages. Thanks !!!

[@gatorgogo2742]

I love your adventures! My mother and I used to travel similar to the way you do. She never met a stranger and we had wonderful adventures. Later on, we took my daughters with us and had many memorable crazy adventures. Keep the videos coming!

[@danthemansmail]

"it looks a little bit grim...." British gift for understatement. Thanks for going Mr. Bald...now I don't have to and your trip was far more interesting then mine would have been anyway.
